Some important context: in Duel Links, a card going to limit 1 doesn't just mean "you can only play one copy of this card in your deck" instead, the way it works is you can only have one limit 1 card in your deck *period*, so you can't use it alongside any other card that's also limit 1.

That 39 day period had some of the funniest strategies I’ve ever seen. The limit on the card was absolutely warranted, but the “fun” strategies the community made were hilarious and absolutely worth the pain. It’s kinda sad knowing if or when we’ll see stuff like this again, but I’m glad to say I was there to experience (and abuse) it while it lasted!
I mean, that 1 month truly was the best of times, and the best of times. But Konami couldn't let a F2P deck rule them all. Star Blast, you are the god king card of Yu-Gi-Oh, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Good video.
Good work, yeah do all the perilous times we’ve endured such as: the coin flip meta, one card wonder, the onomat era, or other decks that had to be completely nuked via skill or ban lists
NGL i thought this was going to be about Z-Metal Tank in Cross Duel but then I remembered how much Loom likes to remind people about this story. Good video tho.
When games in Duel Links lasted more than one turn, I thought LP based skills were fine. There was a brief period where everyone ran Cosmic Cyclone instead of Mystical Space Typhoon, just to get that LP lowering goodness.
I never had this problem. I mean when your whole deck's boss monsters require tribute summons, getting Ojama Token'd or Gimmick Puppet Nightmare tends to help more than... Well... Not help
I am surprised he didn’t talk about desperado with Joey’s guaranteed heads skill which usually guaranteed a negate turn 1 or guaranteed 3 monster destructions every battle phase.
Meanwhile there was Cyber Dragons, who had a garbage skill allowing you to summon a proto-cydra from outside your deck for every 1000 LP you lost. Until Star Blast came and made Cydra meta for the first time. Then we got U.A., which could utilize both Star Blast and the Cydra skill to its max potential. And now the skill is purely fusion-locked and Star Blast will be permanently at 1…
the fact that they limited this card to 1 as well as butchering every single skill that was being used for it was sad. Just limiting it to 1 on its own would have made people stop using any of those skills anyways and if they kept the skill changes this thing could have stayed unlimited as a fun way to modulate levels
was at a regional (pre ROTA), and i was playing centurion, i ended up going against tenpai, round 1 went as you would expect, he went second, i went first, i had drawn the right cards to go for turn 1 blazar, and ended up getting 2 blazars on field which he played through the first negate and went to battle phase, and proceeded to attack, in which i negated the attack and ended the battle phase, which made him stop and ask what i activated to do that, as he was only aware of blazar having an omni negate, not its other 2 effects, after reading the card he scooped since i could beat over everything he had on field, game 2 hew chose to go second, i sadly didnt draw into enough to go for turn 1 blazar so i settled on making a red super nova dragon on his turn, which he attempted to raigeki, and did destroy my auxila but not nova, because again he didnt read my cards before acting, so he read nova and was visibly nervous as he had no way to out that other than droplet which he didnt have, so he made a seals, i was expecting him to pass but instead he said "seals effect to bounce" i told him he couldnt do that since seals is only on my turn and he said "no read thae card" which i did, and it did infact say "on your opponents turn" which i pointed out to him and he said "exactly, im your opponent and its my turn"... i called over a judge who asked who's turn it was, we said it was the tenpai players turn, who explained the situation, the judge just kind of looked at him and explained its refering to the card controllers opponent, not your opponents opponent, to which he replied "no, he read the card first so it means HIS opponent"... the judge told him thats not how it works, the guy argued a bit before excepting it, and tried to pass his turn, which i activated phalanx in grave during end of main phase to revive my auxila, and in endpahse got back primera so that next turn i could swing for game no matter what as i had an ash in hand for the seals summon effect, he was VERY angry that he lost and was mumbling that neither me or the judge knew how to play the game
I don't really see why you need Star Blast and Ojama Overflow for that particular degenerate tactic. Since Duel Links only has three monster card zones, you could achieve the same result with Ojama Trio and no life point sacrificing. Ojama Trio is a trap card that summons exactly three of that exact same type of token to your opponent's field. I suppose I never actually played Duel Links so maybe it didn't have Ojama Trio, but if Star Blast into Ojama Overflow turn one was such a problem, then turn one Ojama Trio would be just as devastating, right?
I remembered playing during this era, lol. I'd personally love to see more content of this style as i stopped playing before vrains released and am kinda curious about what happened that i haven't been aroura for.
Ohhh, shit! I remember when Konami announced Star Blast would be given away, and I KNEW it was going to be a broken card for Duel Links. Sure as hell, it became just that, and is currently on the limited 1 list....with...good....reason...
Would that one guy have not died if he had just normal summoned his blue-eyes after using star blast??? like why continue to pass on an empty field? just summon the guy you spent a bajillion lp to reduce the level of?
This reminded me of the time when I played Duel Links, I used to really like it even though I'm not very good at card games, that was until they added XYZ monsters.
@@Nelex5000 It is however one of the official forms of Yugioh. I don't think Serie A when people say football, yet it's entirely accurate to reference events that happen in the Serie A as affecting football.

So you mean to tell me there was a time where people would NEARLY MAKE THEMSELVES LOSE so they could make their opponent be forced to lose. That sounds SO STUPID. If we were to put that strategy in fighting terms, that means somebody would BEAT THEMSELVES UP until they get close to losing and then defeats their opponent in one hit. How can you call that victory if you had to nearly defeat yourself just to be able to win.
I mean, that's basically just any game that lets you do a berserker playstyle. Typically that kind of playstyle wants to be at low HP to get a damage boost of some kind.
@@Felnal I feel like those characters aren't a good example because that are designed to have such a tactic. They are suppose to do that. For the yugioh example, they aren't suppose to that. They were just abusing a optional very risky technique that should have never even existed in the first place.
@@chasetanner4822 Technically it was supposed to do that, it's just that it wasn't intended to be used that way. Also, even outside of the Star Blast interaction in Duel Link, Yugioh still has "nearly make themselves lose so they could make their opponent be forced to lose" as an actual strat via Dinomorphia. Or just any deck that uses Psychic End Punisher.

You’d think it’s Trunade or Cocytus.
Sometimes scary cards go brr, and they go so brr that they scare the game makers away for years.
When games in Duel Links lasted more than one turn, I thought LP based skills were fine.
There was a brief period where everyone ran Cosmic Cyclone instead of Mystical Space Typhoon, just to get that LP lowering goodness.
I mean, Abyss Actor is perpetually rogue because they pay 1000 LP to search, turning on Ishizu’s Sealed Tombs skill…
Long before Duel Links was Duel Links. Everyone was playing cards happily.
But Konami introduced Star Blast and that changed the whole game & meta
Well we did have Trunade and Cocytus making us mad at one point.
9:15 straight up "anime protagonist breaking through an antagonist's 'unstoppable' combo" moment 😂
"Growing up on the streets has taught me everything has value"

Man, I had completely forgotten about **THAT CARD**…
I never had this problem.
I mean when your whole deck's boss monsters require tribute summons, getting Ojama Token'd or Gimmick Puppet Nightmare tends to help more than... Well... Not help
I haven't played Duel Links, but the video says that the Ojama Tokens can't be used for tributes, so that seems irrelevant here.
To think Star Blast was able to make THE FREAKING OJAMAS this powerful.

3:05 AS SOON AS I READ THE AFFECT I KNEW THIS WAS BUSTED!
Greetings loom I love the type of videos ,I came back to duel links in 2021 .I didn't have a single idea about busted skills
Maybe they should've made more weird LP setups like 100.
Like anybody is gonna activate a skill at 100 LP, right?
Good stuff, got me nostalgic for prior ages of Duel Links.

Would that one guy have not died if he had just normal summoned his blue-eyes after using star blast??? like why continue to pass on an empty field? just summon the guy you spent a bajillion lp to reduce the level of?
Basically it's just a duel disk lockdown skill
Now imagine star blast being used in DDD after having Jean D'arc on the field and paying infinite LP so you gain infinite LP instead.
That is not how it works🙏
D’arc gains if it’s a card effect inflicting effect damage, but star blast has you pay the LP, so it’s a cost not an effect
This reminded me of the time when I played Duel Links, I used to really like it even though I'm not very good at card games, that was until they added XYZ monsters.
Star blast had super spell plot armor
We need more story videos !!
Konami keeping to make cards/adding things to the game without thinking is always a constant I see
