This almost looks like the MtG equivalent of starting with the original rules (Alpha, Beta, Unlimited) and going on to briefly mention how Planeswalkers work, before dropping you into a brief tutorial for Manaless Dredge.
Oh it's much worse than that when you actually realize every deck archetype is akin to its own game of solitaire and every deck has its own mechanisms of combos and card/deck manipulation. You execute your combos, the other player executes their combos, you each gauge on each other how far you can extend without walking into a setback/trap. God forbid you didn't draw your interaction cards and now you're dead.
It's more like explaining how to properly pilot Storm rather than Manaless Dredge. "You do all these things, cast a lot of spells, tie your shoes, comb your hair, fuck your wife while in the shoes, and then go on a trip to Italy for 3 weeks. Now when all of that is finished we play a card with the "Storm" mechanic and win the game and save the day. Any questions? Fuck you. Let's go!" Then you perform a wicked air guitar solo.
@@TemjinZero To be fair, there ARE non-combo decks there are mainly designed arround interaction and out-grinding and don’t do 30 step combos. Eldlich and Sky Striker are good examples.
@@felizpanda OH I'm well aware. I picked up Sky Strikers thinking it would be a good way to learn the game. It is in a brutally mechanical way. I have to learn exactly how every other deck pops off so I can know how to use which cards to interrupt what part of their solitaire combo or die.
Day9 just going completely quiet as he tries to absorb the fact that YuGiOh introduced a second text box to fit all the rules text for pendulum summoning is the funniest shit.
A few cards these days require some processing, I remember when I playing duellist of the roses on ps2 and it was simply click twice, and not a paragraph of eye exam charts.
Absolutely crying As a Yugioh player it never occurred to me just how much this game feels like a tweaking kid jammed everything they could imagine in. And just how high the barrier-to-entry is for new players seeing things like Pendulums lmao and 5billion summoning mechanics
I went from playing Yu-Gi-Oh since like childhood, to playing Magic in the past few months and the barrier for entry to Magic is so fuckin low it's amazing. I can't imagine jumping into Yu-Gi-Oh like this blind.
@@ThirdRateNerds Yeah I absolutely loved jumping into magic tbh, I love that it's a slow game that you actually get turns to interact and play. lmao people in magic talk about some combo decks being complicated like Ironworks- but literally some of the simplest modern Yugioh decks pull off way more complicated, long combos than that, and on turn 1 too. It's just unnecessarily long goldfishing at this point in Ygo
@@AidenDesJames yeah it's really unfortunate. like I still love Yu-Gi-Oh, but I love it because I play really dumb decks or archetypes I like super casually with my friends. We don't try to build those modern meta decks where every turn takes 7 years, sometimes I just wanna have fun with Frogs. Magic on the other hand, I play Commander mostly, and every game is filled with stupid nonsense plays and it's awesome. Not too many games let me say "And now I swing in with 47 goblins" but i can do that in Magic and that rules haha.
@@AidenDesJames if you play competitive it's not slow. People jump into modern yugioh comp and compare it to fucking casual mtg. If I played casual yugioh and tried playing meta mtg decks I'd ve confused tio

@@kentho7093 never heard of it till yesterday made some research it's only popular in USA world wide we only know Yu-Gi-Oh and pokemon a little bit of digimons and Bakugan
@@jojo63920 not it is not only popular in USA, it is very popular across all western countries, it is not as popular as YGO in other countries because less medium, there was no digital game or anime about it.
@@jojo63920 it's one of the main three tcg's here in Germany, so no it's not only popular in the usa. The other two are ygo and Pokémon (ignoring sports cards)
Yeah, really the biggest thing that separates this game from other TCG's is the lack of set rotation. So mechanics, good or bad, are permanently part of the experience and thus the learning curve is steeeeeeep. But the schizophrenic theming is what keeps you coming back, it's just unlike anything else.
This man literally just did the MST negates meme. I am crying xD Also how do you know the "you just activated my trap" meme, but not that it came from the anime?
I both understand how yugioh would be incredibly tiring, and desperately want to see more of this. The childlike innocence as more and more absurd mechanics were discovered was truly glorious. Destroying a spell and expecting it to negate is basically "thing you learn through doing it" number 1 for every new player. Seeing this carry on into actual deck building and beyond would be absolutely hilarious.
I've always said that if you can become a yugioh judge, you probably have the capacity to become a lawyer bc of all the bs you have to memorize and sift thru on a card.
Gonna be a variation on "That Guy" for a bit: A little disappointed in him for (seemingly) not getting that "Goblindbergh" is a portmanteau of Goblin and the name Lindbergh. Combine that with the goblin being in a plane, and it's a reference to Charles A. Lindbergh - the guy who flew The Spirit of St. Louis.
None of this makes sense, none of what was on the video makes no sense and reading through this comment supposedly explaining something doesn't make sense.
"Destroy doesn't negate" lol I remember when I learned that and it broke my brain. I swear playing yugioh with anyone who isn't playing the game like its a full time job is just everyone fighting over rulings and explaining to each other what the heck is going on
I remember kids telling me this on the playground and thought it was complete bullshit. It sounds so made up “destroy your spell” “UM NO YOU SEE IT SAYS DESTROY BUT IT DOESNT SAY IT DOESNT HAPPEN I WIN”
As someone who hasn't played this game since the early 2000s but knows a (very small) bit about the modern game through osmosis, this is EXACTLY the video I wanted it to be.

The perfect summary of this game is the fact that there is a fairly decent sized community of players in the fanbase that ignore every single addition made to the game since like 20 years back because it's too complicated and weird. The amount of rulings and shit that you just need to KNOW is mad. The negate vs destroy thing is an infamous one, the way it works for some cards but not others, there's like chain rules and what cards can be activated in response to others, all the different summoning methods that you need to be taught, the endless text walls you need to read, the stipulations that make like minute distinctions between like "you can only use this effect once per turn" which means you actually can use it several times if you make the monster leave the field and then come back vs "you can only use 'insert name here' effect once per turn" which means you can't do that, it's fucking bananas and when you have a dumbass game like Master Duel where it's either "learn EVERYTHING before entering so you can play alongside modern decks" or "learn the basics and prepare to have an aneurysm when we dump you in front of a modern deck in play mode". This game is super hard to get into no matter what level of entry it is, whether you're an old player coming back after a decade or more or if you're entirely new. And it's exactly because of what Sean described, the only design stipulation of this game is that you can't take anything back because it's a trading card game and they're constantly updating the game with new shit to keep it alive. Fucking normal summons, tribute summons, special summons, fusion summons, ritual summons, synchro summons, xyz summons (which is somehow pronounced xzeez...), pendulum summons, link summons and god knows what they'll add next...
what makes this so hilarious to me is that in all of the yugioh animes the caracters are all amazed when anyone know how to play the damned game. Zane summoned a monster and used MST, best player in this school!!! This kid pendulum summoned!? He must be the best players in the world.
I learned how to play ygo thru duel links. As they released new mechanics, i could absorb them. Trying to learn it all at once sounds like an actual nightmare.
You're only missing Link Summoning so you're almost there. I'd suggest playing your favorite archetype in Duel Links since you already know how it works and seeing what it can do at full power.
@@windknife Oh yeah. I was more painting a picture of what one product did better than another. Master Duels throwing everything in all at once seems more like an appeal to veteran, whereas Duel Links introduced each system as its own Duel World so a new player could go at their own pace. I probably won't get into Master Duels, but that's more due to my own tendency to overgrind card games for a big collection. I'm sure I'd be fine if I jumped in, from a card play perspective.
When I started watching I said out loud "He's totally gonna say this game was made by 16-year olds that just put everything they thought of into the game" and then 7:30 happened

Never seen a video of yours before but I really enjoyed this. Also funfact, the creator of the YuGiOh manga is more of a tabletop RPG fan and you can tell with the early Yugioh stuff where they are clearly making up whatever rules and actions they want for the cards to do. I'd love if you'd be willing to watch some clips of the old show and seeing you react to "attack the moon the take away your oceans" and "I fuse my monster to yours and now yours is infected" nonsense
Yugioh player and MTG player here. Great vid! Super cool to see someone like day9 try to understand this zoomer gsme. Would love to see him actually try to pierce the veil and play some real Yugioh, cause he's rights its fucking nuts. But once you get it, it SOMEHOW works.
A friend of mine has been a devoted fan of yours since the OG Starcraft days. I've never really watched your content before, since I played different sorts of things, but after my friend sent me this video, I'm subscribed! 💞💞 Your good humor, taking *all* of Yu-Gi-Oh's absolute nonsense in stride, having the time of your life despite saying, "Yeah, we're *never* playing this again." 🤣🤣 Doesn't even matter now what game you're playing. I'm here for the shenanigans. Cheers! 💞💞
I hope DayJ gives the game another shot after taking a breather. I love his commentary but the game is an eternal format that's almost 25 years old, he needs some guidance to get to the good stuff. I bet if he was playing a proper BirdUp or Eldlich deck he'd see the appeal that's hooked those of us who have been playing the game for decades. It is definitely silly of the Master Duel to throw 5 inherent summoning methods at new players back to back. I've been teaching a couple MtG players how to play since MD came out and I was really surprised just how many of them interpreted "destroy" as "negate". I've had a hell of a time getting them to understand why MST doesn't negate spells/traps but acts like a negate for continuous and field spells. I can't wait for one of them to run into an "if/when" mistiming. Helping new players get to a competitive level has made me realize the crazy amount of info in my head that's dedicated to this silly game.
8:44 - HE said he is a MTG player right? How did this not make sense to him? IN MTG abilities/effects go on the stack. So if you tap a monster for an ability, then in response destroy it, the ability still activates. Its literally the same in MTG and Yugioh.
Even as a yugioh player, link summons confuse me. The early years were super fun, and I like the redesigned game board, but yeah it can get fairly convoluted.
"How often do you think someone facepalms while trying to teach their friend Yu-Gi-Oh?" Exclusively. I find if you just glue your palm to your forehead it keeps your forearm from getting tired.
Full artifact decks. Boy do I miss those days. Favorite times was playing my artifact deck vs my buddies Sliver deck and seeing who could get their board up and running the fastest.
Soooo...I've been playing MtG since Ice Age, and have never had a desire to play Yu-Gi-Oh. This hilarious video has reinforced that lack of desire. 🤣🤣🤣
For me, it was the other way around. I saw the anime alongside, Mila, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Conan and DBZ on cable television after school. And I didn't know that it had it's own TCG. It was until I picked up MTG at a comic book store that I saw the booster boxes there.
I didn't get to finish the original videos on youtube because my boss told me to get off of my phone, and I just watched this compilation, I can not stop freaking laughinh i cant breathe
This is basically my reaction to this game as well. Never played Yu-Gi-Oh and by the time I got to the monarchs tutorials I was so confused I just had to stop
To be fair, the concept of destruction vs negation shouldn't be that hard to grasp for a Magic player; even in Magic, most cards, once activated, still do their thing even if they get destroyed. There's a mechanical separation between the body of the card, and the abilities bestowed upon it by its card text. I guess the one, main difference is that in Yugioh, there's a lot more opportunities to directly interact with a card's text (and specifically, to prevent it/overwrite it, or "negate" it) than in Magic, where the goal is usually to stop a card before it does what it's supposed to do, or to interact with it in some other way.
How many likes/shares/subs to get this into your weekly schedule xD . . . You were having so much fun! don't you want to continue that....it can only get better as you find more cards and mechanics to need to 1000yard stare at... xD
I have two friends that played yu-gi-oh in high school like seven years ago, give or take. I played it when I was little but nothing else. They told me that you more or less knew whether you won or lost with your opening hand. One of them showed me a tiktok of what modern Yu-Gi-Oh is like. It was turn one only. The video took up the entire tiktok time limit and he was going lightning fast. I almost turned it off because I didn't know if it was going to end and I didn't know what anything meant. The dude built a prison in his first turn by just tutoring a fuck load of cards that just make it so their opponent can't do anything turn one. His board was filled with cards. It was crazy. My friend told me that Yu-Gi-Oh is a completely unrecognizable game from when he played it.

yea compared to magic yugioh might be a little jarring, because i believe the deck velocity is waaaaay different then magic
9:54 he just explained what playing yugioh is actually like.
I learned how to play ygo thru duel links. As they released new mechanics, i could absorb them. Trying to learn it all at once sounds like an actual nightmare.
You're only missing Link Summoning so you're almost there. I'd suggest playing your favorite archetype in Duel Links since you already know how it works and seeing what it can do at full power.
@@windknife Oh yeah. I was more painting a picture of what one product did better than another. Master Duels throwing everything in all at once seems more like an appeal to veteran, whereas Duel Links introduced each system as its own Duel World so a new player could go at their own pace.
I probably won't get into Master Duels, but that's more due to my own tendency to overgrind card games for a big collection. I'm sure I'd be fine if I jumped in, from a card play perspective.
When I started watching I said out loud "He's totally gonna say this game was made by 16-year olds that just put everything they thought of into the game" and then 7:30 happened
Goblindbergh - Abbazabba Summon: Your opponent and you go blind. Not like blind blind, just kinda blind. Your opponent's Special Summons gain Frostbite and Bands with Legends.
*3 line breaks*

5:10 When you already know yugioh and see him react this way to Synchro Summons already, you know you're in for a good time.
I just love Sean's laugh! xD
Destroy doesnt negate, unless the spell or trap being destroyed is face up, but no not that kind of face up.
>Continuous
Never seen a video of yours before but I really enjoyed this. Also funfact, the creator of the YuGiOh manga is more of a tabletop RPG fan and you can tell with the early Yugioh stuff where they are clearly making up whatever rules and actions they want for the cards to do. I'd love if you'd be willing to watch some clips of the old show and seeing you react to "attack the moon the take away your oceans" and "I fuse my monster to yours and now yours is infected" nonsense
Yugioh player and MTG player here.
Great vid! Super cool to see someone like day9 try to understand this zoomer gsme.
Would love to see him actually try to pierce the veil and play some real Yugioh, cause he's rights its fucking nuts. But once you get it, it SOMEHOW works.
A friend of mine has been a devoted fan of yours since the OG Starcraft days. I've never really watched your content before, since I played different sorts of things, but after my friend sent me this video, I'm subscribed! 💞💞
Your good humor, taking *all* of Yu-Gi-Oh's absolute nonsense in stride, having the time of your life despite saying, "Yeah, we're *never* playing this again." 🤣🤣
Doesn't even matter now what game you're playing. I'm here for the shenanigans. Cheers! 💞💞
I hope DayJ gives the game another shot after taking a breather. I love his commentary but the game is an eternal format that's almost 25 years old, he needs some guidance to get to the good stuff. I bet if he was playing a proper BirdUp or Eldlich deck he'd see the appeal that's hooked those of us who have been playing the game for decades.
It is definitely silly of the Master Duel to throw 5 inherent summoning methods at new players back to back. I've been teaching a couple MtG players how to play since MD came out and I was really surprised just how many of them interpreted "destroy" as "negate". I've had a hell of a time getting them to understand why MST doesn't negate spells/traps but acts like a negate for continuous and field spells. I can't wait for one of them to run into an "if/when" mistiming.
Helping new players get to a competitive level has made me realize the crazy amount of info in my head that's dedicated to this silly game.
Haven't laughed this much in ages. I needed this. Thank you
That pure relief when he had to ask chat how to close out the game after attempting to figure it out himself. Oh my word, my sides.
I never knew I needed this
8:44 - HE said he is a MTG player right? How did this not make sense to him? IN MTG abilities/effects go on the stack. So if you tap a monster for an ability, then in response destroy it, the ability still activates. Its literally the same in MTG and Yugioh.
This will be my favourite day[9] stream for a while. I could not stop laughing.
Game: "Synchro Summon"
Day9: "Synchro What?"
Game: "Synchro Summon"
Day9: "What Summon?"
Game: "Synchro Summon"
Day9: "What What?"
Game: "Synchro Summon - it's when you take a monster and...."
Day9: "Sorry. I just stopped caring."
I've played YGO off and on since 2003, and I've been watching RUclips offf and on since 2006, and I've never been entertained as much as I am now
Omg I needed this vid. I haven’t laughed so hard in a while.
Would love to see you play more yugioh and explore some of the different decks and playstyles.
I still think trying to predict powerlevels of YGO cards would be tremendously entertaining.
Indeed. Seeing him realize raigeki is mediocre staple would be quite funny
Even as a yugioh player, link summons confuse me. The early years were super fun, and I like the redesigned game board, but yeah it can get fairly convoluted.
One of the funniest highlights I've ever seen. Hilarious
that cut to his blank-ass face in front of the pendulum summon tutorial is PRICELESS
"How often do you think someone facepalms while trying to teach their friend Yu-Gi-Oh?"
Exclusively. I find if you just glue your palm to your forehead it keeps your forearm from getting tired.
This is everything I wanted from a yu gi oh highlight
It's been 2 years since I saw this live and I am still wheezing from laughing so hard.....AHAHAHAHA
Full artifact decks. Boy do I miss those days. Favorite times was playing my artifact deck vs my buddies Sliver deck and seeing who could get their board up and running the fastest.
Soooo...I've been playing MtG since Ice Age, and have never had a desire to play Yu-Gi-Oh. This hilarious video has reinforced that lack of desire. 🤣🤣🤣
Your reaction to Goblindbergh fucking killed me
I know nothing about yu gi oh either, but this video has honestly brought me such an absurd amount of entertainment value.
I love the fact that Dust tornado negate came up hahahaha
For me, it was the other way around. I saw the anime alongside, Mila, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Conan and DBZ on cable television after school. And I didn't know that it had it's own TCG. It was until I picked up MTG at a comic book store that I saw the booster boxes there.
"I mst to negate" Is literally a bit yugioh meme, and we got to see it live for the first time, amazing
This is just 10 minutes of Day9 roasting the game designers.
I know he doesn’t wanna play again but I hope at least he does another video of him reacting to more card names lol
I didn't get to finish the original videos on youtube because my boss told me to get off of my phone, and I just watched this compilation, I can not stop freaking laughinh i cant breathe
This is basically my reaction to this game as well. Never played Yu-Gi-Oh and by the time I got to the monarchs tutorials I was so confused I just had to stop
This is hilarious man thank you
To be fair, the concept of destruction vs negation shouldn't be that hard to grasp for a Magic player; even in Magic, most cards, once activated, still do their thing even if they get destroyed. There's a mechanical separation between the body of the card, and the abilities bestowed upon it by its card text. I guess the one, main difference is that in Yugioh, there's a lot more opportunities to directly interact with a card's text (and specifically, to prevent it/overwrite it, or "negate" it) than in Magic, where the goal is usually to stop a card before it does what it's supposed to do, or to interact with it in some other way.
9:48 i was already dead laughing but I couldn't breathe after this
When he tried to summon Goblindberg I fucking lost it
The silence when being introduced to pendulum cards killed me.
9:00 the only appropriate response to pendulum summons
How many likes/shares/subs to get this into your weekly schedule xD . . . You were having so much fun! don't you want to continue that....it can only get better as you find more cards and mechanics to need to 1000yard stare at... xD
Goblindbergh sounds like one of the character names you would’ve made up for Mostly Walking 🤣
His assessment of the creation of yugioh is actually spot on. 👌
Nooooo not this again? This is golden!
I have two friends that played yu-gi-oh in high school like seven years ago, give or take. I played it when I was little but nothing else. They told me that you more or less knew whether you won or lost with your opening hand. One of them showed me a tiktok of what modern Yu-Gi-Oh is like. It was turn one only. The video took up the entire tiktok time limit and he was going lightning fast. I almost turned it off because I didn't know if it was going to end and I didn't know what anything meant.
The dude built a prison in his first turn by just tutoring a fuck load of cards that just make it so their opponent can't do anything turn one. His board was filled with cards. It was crazy. My friend told me that Yu-Gi-Oh is a completely unrecognizable game from when he played it.
This is the funniest video I’ve seen in a while holy shit
I love your reactions to Yu Gi Oh and for some reason they make me like the game even more XD
This makes me want Day9 to watch through the anime and comment on every dumb shit happening in it. XD
Just watch the abridged series. lol
as a big ol yugioh fan i love to watch the amusment and bewilderment of new players to whatever the heck is going on
This is the absolutely funniest thing to watch though lol.
Dust Tornado on the Monster Reborn, classic lmao
Please PLEASE for the love of all that is holy, keep going!
This is the funniest Yugioh video I've ever seen
