Chief among them all for me, is the unfortunate death of Speed Duels and how KONAMI has chosen to handle them overtime. Join me as we take a look into what exactly caused this!

I’m surprised they never made a Vrains tie in given how closely this format was tied to that anime.
Yu-Gi-Oh has been booming in Japan, and while the numbers are technically going up here in the west, it’s clear players have many issues. Speed Duels being a western only product was such a smart way to address all the issues western players have. The death of Speed Duels feels two fold. One part on fans for not embracing it more (it’s everything boomers have asked for) and then also on Konami for not only failing to advertise more, but making almost every product a DM nostalgia set. The idea to transition to a box set was a genius move, but in the end it seems the writing is on the wall.
Good news is even if it’s gone, there’s nothing to stop us fans from continuing the product. This isn’t a digital game, so being snapped away won’t erase all the. Cards we own. As long as us fans exist, so too does the format.
My hope is they release Rush Duels but keep the box format. I can’t see Rush Duels surviving as a standard TCG here in the west, but as a box product where you get the full set(s) in just one box to either play with friends or competitively? Hell yeah!
P.S. Glad to see you happy with the content, this is one of my favorite YugiTube channels by a mile, keep making fun content!
Absolutely agree and couldn't have said it better. A lot could've been done different to save this format because it's genuinely so much fun. But I guess we'll have to just really wait and see what they do
Also, tha kyou so much for the support and kind words. It genuinely means so much knowing that my content is being enjoyed. Really appreciate it. More to come for sure!!
Speed Duels best format. I'll hold onto the hope that Konami picks it back up in the future.
Great video covering the place Speed Duels is at right now. Load up the videos! Always fun to see new deck profiles.
Yo, appreciate the support for real! Will definitely be cracking onto some new profiles soon
This is a great opportunity to bring over Rush Duels instead.
Fingers crossed for Rush Duels...
Are we SURE it’s not just a hiatus? Speed Duels went on a 2-year break just a couple of uears ago.
The way they worded it, it sounds very unclear when they'll actually revive them. We just have to wait in suspense to see what they'll do. Hopefully we won't be waiting too long. I love Speed Duels
"Pausing for a rest". So not all hope is lost.
That's the hope. Let's hope we see Speed Duels make a comeback in the near future 🤞🏾
MANN R.I.P Speeds duels, Great Video
Thanks yo. Appreciate it heaps! 🙏🏾
@@reiji_vt4262 I got you homie. Gotta support the brothers in Christ!
@JettyYuki That's it brothaa! Glory to Him! 🔥
@@reiji_vt4262 praise be to him the one and only God!
(If you ever wanna Collab or need a homie for a video hmu)
Wish they got to do stuff with the orichalcos arc or hell a yugioh R themed set wouldve been cool. I really liked these sets, since they helped me make character decks
Hey this is honestly crazy, I am also a yugi-vtuber and I was just about to start making speed duel content because the tcg banlist disapointed me! Guess thats not really a viable option anymore especially since I am in Europe 😢
You and me both friend...You and me both.
I think still work on the Speed Duel content still tho. The only problem I have with Speed Duels going on standby is that the format will come to a halt because there's no cards or changes being made
@@reiji_vt4262 Yeah it’s something I worry about too, it is a shame that the closest thing we have to speed duel digitally is a Konami cash grab that has developed way to far (Duel Links)
I liked speed duel, mainly because I started yugioh in the Arc v era and my favourite series is GX, so it was an easy way get the old cards GX characters. But I like Rush Duel too, it's a better side format and the card arts of the new and old cards are beautiful. So I'm sad because speed duel ending, but happy because there's a change we finally get rush duel in the tcg, but I'm saw what konami did in tcg I'm not sure they will not screw it too. I'm afraid they made short prints, worse sets and after Dragon Master Magia it seems really likely.
Here's hoping that we do see Ruah Duels come to the west because Rush Duels are actually super fun. Hopefully if they do come around, Konami doesn't fumble it with short prints and rarity locked cards. But here's hoping 🙏🏾
👍👍👍
Great video, very informative!
Thank you!
Speed duels was the only way I was able to get anyone into this game. How you gonna teach someone modern TCG?
For real. The decision to put them on hold is mad frustrating because trying to teach someone the game through the main master format can be all sorts of problematic sometimes. Speed Duels is the game simplified down to its core and that's what make it so much easier for people to then transition into the main master format. Just gonna have to do our best until Konami decides to kick them back into gear
i think the biggest thing is the cards arnt worth anything. so no incentive for people to buy
