I haven't played yugioh since the beginning intro of xyz.... and I have so many questions. What is up with the two extra card zones in between both players?
@@dr.frankcastle7349 hi! Thank you so much for watching my video(s)! The two extra monsters zones you see in between players are called just that: Extra Monster Zones (EMZ). 😄 They were introduced in 2017 alongside Link monsters and EMZs have evolved since then. Back in 2017, players could only summon Extra Deck monsters into the EMZs. So, you could only summon Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Pendulum, and Link monsters to the EMZ. If you summoned any Monster type other than Link, you basically couldn't summon anymore monsters from the Extra Deck. However, in 2020, Konami changed that to be "only Link monsters need to be summoned to an EMZ first." Link monsters have something called Link Arrows that point to other Monster Zones. If you want to summon multiple Link monsters, you'd have to summon a Link monster into the EMZ first, then if that Link monster has arrows pointing to any Main Monster Zones (MMZ) (the original 5 monster zones), then you can summon more Link monsters to those zones. Now, circling back to the 2017 era, if you wanted to summon more than 1 monster from the Extra Deck, you had to summon a Link monster into the EMZ first (a link monster that has arrows pointing to some MMZs) and then you could summon ANY monster types from the Extra Deck to those zones. (This was how Konami was able to push sales of Link monsters.) By default, players can only occupy one EMZ. However, there is an exception where if a player has set up Link Monsters to make a U-Link or V-Link, then that player can occupy both EMZs. If you haven't tried Master Duel yet, I recommend you check it out. It's super fun! At times. Lol. There are times where your opponent just has everything they need to win the game while you brick and it's just no fun. 😄 Also. They have Solo Mode that also has introductory duels to teach new/returning players how to play the game/how to summon monsters they aren't familiar with. Sorry for the long response. But Yu-Gi-Oh! kind of requires it. 😄
