I wish master duel had options to play in your favorite era
dm, gx, 5ds, etc.
Now that they're doing time wizard events at YCS&Co there may be a chance at some point. However, if they won't find a way to monetize, for instance, Edison Format, then there's no way they're adding it. People might enjoy it more than the actual advanced format in MD, which is their MD's source of income.
Thanks for this video mate. My Yugioh knowledge is almost a decade behind and my friends got me back into it so it is nice to relearn all that I forgot. 🤙🏽☀️
I feel this, I haven't played for nearly 2 decades and the cards now are lightyears ahead from that time
Funny that I’m also in the same boat. Played Yugioh back when I was 10-12 years old and quit soon after. I’m 31 now and just getting back into it. I forgot how much fun it is! I think I’m gonna try my hand at doing 1-on-1 sessions with real pros to re-learn quicker.
wow thanks for your insight. I now feel better getting back into the physical cards. Especially after playing Master Duel since its launch on the phone.
Honestly the game legacy of the duelist link evolution helped me really start too grasp the the card game. If you have a console or pc i highly recommend!
12:00 Correction, anyone can go to a Regional or a YCS. It's Nationals that require an invite by winning or placing well in various tournaments.
That not what he said he said u have to be invited for ycs he doesn't talk about Nats lol 😂
@@peteryanes3413
That's what the comment is saying
He is saying you dont need to be invited for YCS, anyone can go
Nationals is what requires invitation
Great video man! Keep it up!
Thanks a lot!!
ive been playing master duel when it released and always loved yugioh, and would only play with my cousin with just cards we would get from packs or structures, now 2 of my other friends got into and we all have better decks now that we enjoy
Best thing I did getting back into the game was buying 3 Traptrix structure decks. Got a really good and fun deck for $36.
@@adv1kwhat are you confused about? Im in the same position. Ive bought 3 traptrix and 3 crimson dragons, and will be buying the new fire king. Thatll sort me out with a lot pf staples and good decks for fun. Also the new rarity collection is so good to get into the game. Bought a few packs of tbose and just keen to get alot of staples and build up my knowledge for a locals gsme soon
@@xXNeoNashXxmy guy. What do you mean whats he confused about?
Youre comments mean literally nothing to a newcomer. Whats a staple. Whats fire kings? Whats rarity collection? Whyd you buy 3 decks? Isnt 1 enough? And thats before you even get into the game itself.
Very helpful video, especially for returning players like myself
I think dowloading legacy of the duelist is a good place to start. The campagins introduce you to mechanics at a slow pace and you work up to the most recent additions i up to link summoning. I picked up yugioh after 22 years a couple months ago, and after playing magic for over 10 years. The amount of stuff people can do on one turn is super overwhelming at first
Baught my first structure deck coming tomorrow always wanted to get into it
That's great! Which structure deck you decided to play with?
Fun fact you need to buy 2 more for it to be complete
thanx great video
I'm trying to get into it again and I don't know anything past battle city stuff so to say I'm lost is a understatement
As someone whos just learning how to play the game this video was great.
Is their a tournament for old school way to play like original yugioh I still have my OG yugi amd kiba decks black luster 3 head blue eyes etc
I reckon ill just stick to being a collector rather than a player...
I played originally up until right after Blackwings, Gladiator Beasts, and Lightsworns were tge meta. I got back into it by bumbleing my way into a somewhat ok Blackwing deck in master duel and beat my head against the wall with it until I started picking up the new stuff. Lol.
i wish there are more cards and marketing stuff on speed duel
I really wanna play at some shops but I don't wanna get laughed at lol I've playing alot on ygo omega with madolche decks n zombie but scared to play in person. What if I miss activations or other new player stuff just scares me off
People miss stuff all the time, it is part of becoming a better player. Instead of going to a card shop and playing you could also just go and watch. That way you get a feel of how the shop runs and you can ask about stuff along the way. You got this king 👑.
Any possibility of revisiting zombie world with the new horus stuff?
This video will only fuel my inner child
I am also not sure about the competitive world either. I have had a temper my whole life, and you give me attitude/back talk I am going to give it right back. I am pretty sure that would lead to trouble which I really honestly don't want.
I rather be a Yugi and make friends then a Bandit Keith and make enemies.
Why do the cards have so my text? It's so overwhelming for a beginner
I played YGO since launch and quit when pendulum came in, all downhill from there
Pendulums aren’t even doing anything in the current card game
I just kept playing master duel and traptrix till I got better. Winning with a deck that cost less than 90 bucks with staples is cool. Now I can focus on cores that use exceed since I have exceed staples.
9:10
South Korea is OCG as well. Most of Asia that plays YGO is actually OCG tbh.
A lot of cards are counterplay cards. How do you know what card to counter when there's an endlessly growing pile of archetypes? How is this burden made easier considering the list keeps growing.
Studying others' decks and finding solutions to the cards that pose a threat to you
@NicKTsanicK7 That will take months to learn alone. Who has time for that? Your time is valuable and precious. Konami Is literally releasing new broken stuff every month.
i clicked on this video to learn about how to actually play, should put a disclaimer in the begining
I love yugioh
What if no shops 😢
Battle City players feel today what normies who didnt play felt back then trying to understand Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yu-Gi-Oh! is in such an advanced state that Yu-Gi-Oh! players don't really know what's going on.
Yu-Gi-Oh! today in real life is in a state similar to the characters in the show experienced during duelist kingdom.
There's more dueling quirks and "Because I said so's" TODAY in real life than there were during the actual 2002-2003 duelist kingdom days on TV.
Playing Yu-Gi-Oh! today, feels like Bandit Keith telling Joey, "My machine monster can only be destroyed by physical attacks!" and we're all standing there left looking stupid.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Back then had a simplicity, a cat and mouse game that modern Yu-Gi-Oh! cannot sustain, because of the larger card pool.
There were overpowered styles back then too but the card pool wasn't so large and the playerbase was still infants, literally and metaphorically.
Yu-Gi-Oh! graduated from tee ball, now it's MLB but with more of the "Because i said so's" and the "When vs. ifs".
When vs. if is the most reasonable ruling that developed over time. But other rulings like chaining to your own card to block effects that would otherwise ressolve sounds like something cheaters would argue to judges to get ahead and everybody ran with it and now these TV-esque duelist kingdom-like interactions that would have not been out of place on TV i. 2003, take place in real life.
Yu-Gi-Oh! is goofy( not in a positive manner) because it has evolved to cater to the most repressive, try hard type of energy, while failing equilibrium that rewards skilled play and decision making. Skilled players will win more often but it's not purely a skill game anymore. I would put forth that DM era was a more skilled game than today's Yu-Gi-Oh!
Playing modern Yu-Gi-Oh! feels a lot like, "Giant Soldier of Stone, attack the moon!"
We fell in love with Yu-Gi-Oh! in spite of the quirks, not because of them.
I could see the direction Yu-Gi-Oh! was heading in the early Synchro days and, to say thag quirky rulings have led to needlessness in Yu-Gi-Oh! in an understatement.
By being SO legalistic and technical in your rulings, you lose the heart of the game.
"Giant Soldier of Stone, attack the moon," encapsulates what a real match of Yu-Gi-Oh! feels like.
Yu-Gi-Oh! was built on the idea that a difficult board was not impossible to break for the other player - that even if your opponent's proverbial cat is in a fortified situation, you can mouse your way in and around his/her board. Now it's force fed board breaking. "Nice Board, Dark Ruler No More." "This card cannot be responded to."
Duelist kingdom succeeded because as time progressed the game naturally evolved to a better and better understood state. The tv show reflected the evolving awareness of gameplay in real life.
Yu-Gi-Oh! regressed when real life gameplay started to imitate the show, and not the other way around.
Dealing with Actual Yu-Gi-Oh! players is to deal with legalistic, hard nosed behaviors that are hardly called fun.
*FUN*
It's the reason we play the game.
We can all largely remember fun times back then, and the word fun isn't even generally used to describe the modern Yu-Gi-Oh! lexicon.
Maybe it's not just nostalgia based, but Yu-Gi-Oh! really was just more fun back then.
The evolution of Yu-Gi-Oh! is the evolution of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. What started reputably, shenangians pile up, and becomes disreputable.
You ever had a friend that was a compulsive liar, and you knew it, and everyone knew it, and everytime you hear them lie you know it's a lie too. And over time you become sick of the mounting lies. And the lying just continues to a point that there's no more lies to tell at that point, and you realize that's who that person really and truly is?
Thats what the reputation of Yu-Gi-Oh! has become to many of the playerbase. like. I miss the game the way that it was. it feels as though the game is behind us. Just as Adam and Eve could not undo the fruit, I feel we missed out on more time, as Yu-Gi-Oh! had crossed over at that point many years ago.
Abc also good for both n cheap
>low cost
Thats cap, and this is coming from someone who loves the modern game.
Why did they make cards if they are banned? Are they just not compatible with the game? Or did they just regret putting them out
So there are a few answers to this question.
First: Money. Sometimes they make cards that are really good to push products. For example, in a recent set they released S.P. Little Knight. While I don't think this card will be banned anytime soon, it is a very impactful card when it hits the field.
Second: Unknown factors. Due to the large amount of cards in the game, it is really hard to know interactions between all the cards in the game. Someone will figure out strategy the may use old or new cards to find a way to win. While this is a great way to get better at the game, sometimes these strategies are way to strong and need to be banned to keep the game healthy.
Third: Cards being ahead of their time. Sometimes they ban cards that are way to powerful for when they are released. However, later on those same cards if released back into the game won't have as much impact due to the change of the meta.
Konami doesn't open say they regret releasing some card. But I'd like to believe that they do think it was a bad idea later on because of sales for new products. "Why buy new product if already released product is good and I can win with it" mindset.
to this day i thank konami for not making legacy decks exceed fun/rogue tier. imagine a 25 year old card game still relying on blue-eyes and dark magician decks to keep it alive. nothing is stopping people from playing w old cards, but it is ridiculous to expect a game this old to stay in the same power level as it released a quarter century ago.
Tell Duel Links that please
That is what formats are for. Other card games have formats that at least help control some of the power creep that happens over time. Yugioh just doesn't have that, so it's gotten progressively more insane over time.
It is perfectly acceptable to expect a card name not to get this out of hand.
@@drew8235Yo're wrong. Yugioh has formats. Take GOAT format for example.
I'd if you want to get Returning players back, they should just play Speed Duel.
I was in the age range for Yugioh when it came out, and I have a lot of cards. I didn't catch on quickly though, and a lot of players were super competitive and overall... toxic around my neighborhood.
If you didn't know EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING about each card and when to do what, you were mocked, excluded and had rumors told about you as a player, like you couldn't count attack/defense points, or you stole or tore up people's cards.
So this people saying things and a toxic Environment made me feel just unwelcome.
I am giving it another shot, but keys about me ...
1. I don't want/care about being champ/king of games/ etc; I just want to play a game and make friends.
2. The game is fun but it's not going to be my be all end all, there are other card games that I play and need to remember.
3. I am human and I forget things, so people need, to, help me along.
These three things remembered, I am totally for giving it another go.
I would love a place to play casual
Tried going back after playing MD. Yeah nah ill just stick to fighting games tbh
7:31 I was expecting to get poked fun at or teased for the fact that Mali is still at 2 after all these years. I was expecting u to bring him up. My brother, I’m still waiting for the day u get to come home from the semi-limited jail cell. I’m praying for ur return. Dreadmaster and dogma and all the others r waiting for u.
No disrespect to the person who made the video, but i personally dont think there needs to be a 14 minute video just say copy and past a meta deck from google or youtube watch a video on how those combos work, and then if that dosent work on to the next, oh and dont forget to be toxic, thats how you play yugioh in 2023
anyone remember doing 80008000 on a old style calculator for the weekend tournaments lmao
im very disappointed that this was not a meme video
I thought OCG stood for 'Official Card Game' 🤔
I just collect these cards for fun and actually don't know anything about playing them.😂
tbh i hate yugioh but for some reason i always come back to play gemknights ftk
I love the part when yugitubers say "lack of communication from konami" and then do not elaborate. Primo communication
Probably that Konami doesn’t communicate when ban lists come out, ban list reasoning, etc.
I just don’t have anyone to play pay with. Everyone now of days plays magic the gathering. Here at least.
I call bullshit on the 50$ start…. need the staples to play compettively and that nets you at least 300$
Only problem with yugioh these days imho is how a lot of cool/ nostalgic decks are outclassed by the new stuff. I watched the OG show, and played back then but I wasn’t good and just gave up after a while. Now that I wanna play with my friends, and I wanna build cool old stuff like toons or relinquished, those older cards just can’t stand up to the new stuff. It’s very disheartening to invest in a deck you really like just to find out it’s garbage.
There are some nasty new toon cards like Toon Table of Contents and Shine Palace!
I know it sucks not playing with newer cards or support they may add but I recommend just playing G.O.A.T format or Edison that sounds like what you are looking for. It’s a format where you play up to a certain year of cards and can only build a deck with those cards. it’s nice to be able to buy a deck once and use those cards for good! A lot of people are picking up these formats and I’m sure you can find online spaces to play or hey even with like minded friends that just want to get back into yugioh!
@@PeskyFiend I’m trying to convince my friends to build lower power decks so we can just play what we want at different levels instead of just always building rogue or higher decks
I mean i wouldn't expect cards that came out 20 years ago to still be relevant in modern day yugioh
@@optic9065 I agree it’s just how power creep works in games like this, that’s why I’m advocating that there’s no excuses to not play old formats with friends. The decks that just keep chaining combos and like 5 extra deck summons are just always going to exist and be the meta
Sorry u wrong about ycs anyone can go I never been ask I been to
The difference is ycs are much bigger more ppl and two days n to tops ungor made day 2 n the top 32 and regional are one day n to top is top 8 only but smaller
Yeah I was informed of this after making the vid. Thank you!
Summary of the comment thread to save time: Skill Issue
This is how you play. First get a magnifying glass so you can actually read the card text. Secondly both players show their hands if you can’t win on T2 or T1 forfeit and move to game 2 and repeat. That or play any other TCG, it’s more then likely more balanced than Yu-Gi-Oh.
You don't
(I love Yu-Gi-Oh, but this game is a nightmare for new players)
why dont the players make their own ban list if konami is non-responsive?
This is a good question, the main reason is that the list could prove bias and give too much power to the group of people who make the list. There are other things like lack of data, miss interpretation/information, and over looking that could occur.
Best advice-
Don't start playing.
It's far too expensive.
The prize support is almost non-existent.
The community is toxic and is out to rip you off.
The game isn't the back and forth battle of wits it once was, it's just combo memorization and deployment.
Likewise there are few answers to said combos so the game is little more than, "did you win the coin toss? Oh well I didn't draw the handful of cards that can stop you so gg.
U funny 😁
@@peteryanes3413 i've been playing since 2004, i'm not funny, i'm insane.
Honestly I tried to get into YUGIOH and I just quit within 30 minutes. Why is this game so freaking complicated. Its not fun at all.
It can be complicated for sure. It is probably the hardest Card game to start and stay consistent with. The good thing about Yu-Gi-Oh is that once you find a deck it is almost always going to be playable.
Imagine thinking you can learn to play a card game in 30 min lol
@@markusmitchell8585 and it doesn’t really matter does it
Same. I loved the anime from my childhood, but regardless of what cards i used, i always lost in a few turns. I just want a simple game of luck and skill, yet yugioh today just feels searching through to use half your deck in 1 turn and then just frucking up your opponents cards with your own endless effects.
@NateCards i am a simple player. If it's that hard to stay consistent then it's not for me.
You forgot to talk about how toxic the community is, that part where you said the local casual community is "very welcoming" is absolute BS. It's literally the most toxic community in all of TCG communities. Best advice is learn the game alone or with a close friend because you will get flamed up and ostracized if you are new, they are not welcoming and are the most arrogant people in the TCG world. You're more likely to get into a fist fight with these people or get your shit stolen or ripped off than anything else. The game is far from balanced and you won't have fun at all unless you play the best of the best meta decks. My advice is stay far away from Yu-Gi-Oh, play something else if your interested in TCGs. Lots of other, better and more welcoming games out there.
banning cards is such a bad idea. it goes against what trading card games are all about in the first place.
More importantly however. these lists only benefit people who actually care about what goes on on the internet.
what if you don't even pay attention to any of this stuff? that, you just buy the boosters or whatever from your local shop?
there is an easier solution here. All the companies have to do is print cards that render those they wish to eliminate, obsolete. maybe for example, easily counterable?
I just click on this video so I could make a comment. The answer for how to start playing yugioh in 2023 is simply just don't start it, belive me it's best for everyone and special ur self.
Yu-gi-oh before thr GX is the best version. After that, it does not make any sense
Don’t go play in locals expecting to win. There’s always that one or 2 assholes playing top tier decks who will not let you do anything and win turn 2
