    For me the beauty of Yugioh is the lack of one theme/setting. Pokemon is about pokemons, Hearthstone and Magic are about fantasy, Yugioh is about everything in-between. Here's superheros, here's samurais who fight the undead, here's streamers, here's the guy who travels through different planets to defeat his evil doppelganger, etc etc. And all these countless archetypes tell a unique story which you sorta kinda play through while comboing your opponent to death, I really really like it.

      Some decks also adapt their theming into the gameplay. For example, your goal when playing Purrely is to give your cat lots of good memories so it becomes an absolute beast.

    Another pro or con of Yugioh, depending of your point of view, is that the main format is an eternal format, that means we have no rotation, and all the balance of the game depends on a list we call the banlist. For those of us that get turned off with the idea of our cards becoming obsolete just because they're now very old, Yugioh offers you a place where, as long as the card isn't in the banlist, you can play all the cards you want, even if the card was released 20+ years ago, sure, the cards might get powercrept and could no longer stand to the power level of the current meta, but the only one stopping you from playing "x" card is the banlist, and yourself, and even then, Konami is constantly printing new support to old archetypes so they can have a second wind.

      FK and Yubel got new support. It's not like someone took their 2014 FK list and suped it up with SE and other modern good stuff and started topping major events.
      It's just that since advanced is an eternal format, u can just print new support for old archetypes without having to reprint pre-existing cards.
      CoH is a singular card (it's also fully generic), and Sky Striker isn't really seeing much play even after the manga support.

    Didn't mention the new biggest selling point konami has shifted to post-anime for Yugioh (imo), which is card/archetype lore. World Legacy, Albaz, Visas, and the new Sinful Spoils are all evolving worlds/stories that take place over the course of multiple years and multiple set releases. For instance, in the Albaz Lore, we start off with Dogmatika and Tri-Brigade. That then evolves into Sprigans, Swordsoul, then Despians/Branded, Icejade then Therions, Spright, Bystials. Each new card/set tells new stories for these characters and helps to be an onboarding ramp for people to care about new cards/stories in a post-anime era.

      That’s not really a selling point Most games have lore but it’s not gonna attract players if the gameplay is intimidating look at Dark souls for Example it’s only gained more players because of its notoriety and the Fanbase getting Casuals to understand the appeal. You need to sell the Gameplay to some degree if you want people to Enjoy the lore.

    yugioh has a 40-60 card deck where 40 cards are mostly for consistency and as soon as you fully understand how deck building works you can kinda play around with the number of cards in your deck where 60 cards is almost full on gambling and can lead to very interesting decks. now yugioh has the problem where its very complex and that is why older players usually recommend you play edison a slower version of the game that has most of the base mechanics allowing for a nicer transition when you move into standard. also there is no other card game that can give you so much adrenalin that playing any other card game feels slower.

    Something I noticed in your last few videos where you discuss Yu-Gi-Oh, you keep saying you can only play a 40 card deck, but that is not true. You can play 40-60 cards in your main deck.
    For those curious the meta for most of the game's history has been to play as close to 40 or as close to 60 as possible to ensure you consistently draw the cards you want to see (which you aim for depends on your strategy and deck's play style). And before 2008 you could actually play an unlimited number of cards in the main deck!

    • @hexi9595
      @hexi9595 Месяц назад +3

      Funny thing for the commentors about playing 60. In YGO we have this very funny card called “That grass looks greener” which mills cards from the top of your deck to the GY in order for you to have as many cards in your deck as your opponent does. It later got banned but now iirc is at 1 copy. Also i think YGO is the only card game w a variance in deck size that i know of.

    I got into YGO pretty recently, around 2020, thanks to Duel Links. And I think that aside from its extremely bad gacha aspects that made eventually stop playing, Duel Links was the best thing for new player retention because it gave an actually simpler format to learn. Konami has no interest in true rotation, so they have to follow this cycle of creating easier to play formats that you can get people started with - Duel Links, Speed Duel, and then the total reboot game Rush Duel that's currently Japan only - which eventually end up getting too complex again or fizzling out because they aren't given much attention. Lots of YGO players are actually big fans of playing old versions of the game, like Edison format, so it's clear that there's a player base for this style of game... but they're in a weird spot of being difficult to monetize because they don't have any new cards to purchase. I think a rotating format of some sort is the only real answer that doesn't eventually run into the Duel Links problem of becoming modern YGO again eventually, but I guess they can keep reinventing the wheel until people stop paying.

Otherwise someone is usually getting blown out because every archetype that isn't meta or rogue can wildly vary in power level and fun. Like Gem Knights are just gonna FTK/OTK you half the time and you won't be able to do anything about it because you aren't playing enough meta cards to interrupt their plays or kill them before you get burned.

      I think **modern ygo can be so much fun if every deck is a sort of midrange decks** like Branded, Sky striker or Swordsoul deck that have a short combo and let both opponents play the game with a decent amount of interactions.
      **The best yugioh gameplay I've ever seen was in March 2023 MCS finals** where 2 Branded Despia player fight each other in 10+ turns back an forth duel , better player wins through better understanding, strategy, skill and a bit of luck.
      That's what yugioh is all about, not comboing for for 1 hour and locking out your opponent turn one then calling it a day. I hate those 10 min "competitive" videos where no one can do anything against their opponent's boards and it simply comes down to rock, paper, scissors.
      Fuck floodgates, fuck FTKs, fuck Combo deck and fuck just draw the out™ endboards, they're all against the spirit of playing a game. A couple back/forth duel of non-game-ending interruptions with some follow-up is where it's at.

    i'm a new hearthstone player. in 10 years it's been alive i've played 5 other ccgs, 3 of them have died, others i didn't like.
    at this point i feel like it gets new players just by outlasting the competition in the online ccg market. the game is objectively terrible, especially with the current amount of power creep and rng.
    but at some point a man gets this card game itch to build some decks, and it would be nice to do so in a game that wouldn't die in a year and waste the time you spent building up your collection yet again, thus hearthstone gets that click on the install button.

      @@JoshKnoxChinnery never tried faeria, i've heard it was dead and that was years ago
      lor i play from time to time, but the pvp is officially dead with no new content incoming. there's not much to do if you tried all the decks you wanted in the current rotation, waiting for the next one rn. only standard is playable, wild is full of 60-70% winrate decks (azirelia, ed) that will never get patched now.
      eternal is the worst ccg i've ever played as a f2p. you can run 4x legendaries and some are literally p2w. i remember sandstorm titan, 4/8 strong keyword, the best common in the same class was 3/4 weak keyword.
      draft was fun but it costs a lot bc you keep all the cards, unlike hs arena. but it also meant you either picked the cards you need for your constructed collection and basically agree to going 0-3 or you draft a synergistic deck to risk playing for rewards but that probably means picking cards you already have.
      also the magic land system is just not for me, mana flood or screw happens all the time and it's not fun losing this way
      "skill issue" you might say but i recall people calculating a formula exactly how much lands you need for your mana curve, there's no deckbuilding skill of whether you should have more or less mana, there's the optimal amount that is calculated for you and if you're still screwed.or flooded occasionally you just have to accept that.

    Great video but I think your point about commander is a bit misleading because commander is actually quite restricting in some ways.
    You can ONLY play 100 card decks with a single copy of each card which already sounds like a nightmare for someone just learning the game. In addition to that there's a ban list. And finally, this version of Magic is mostly played in multiplayer which means that a new player would have to endure a whole table of people taking half hour long turns while trying to learn a game which in its core is actually very simple.
    A much more easier way to learn Magic would be regular kitchen table Magic with no regards to formats or ban lists and no deck building requirements other than the standard 60 card minimum and max 4 copies of any card (those requirements have been there since the game's very beginning, and in my opinion are perfectly calibrated, which is why they haven't changed for years).
    This is what Magic is really like with no restrictions and complete freedom. Just the basic rules of the game and playing it with whatever cards you have lying around.
    Commander is too much for a new player and is just not as free form as many people make it out to be.

Also, Pokemon has redeem codes for TCG Live and its card pool is up to date with the card game whereas Master Duel's isn't. And that helps.

      You could check out the RUclips channels of Goldennova Yugioh or Galzo. Both of them do lore videos, in which they explain how the cards work and how that is tied to their lore.

    I disagree about the flavor point for Magic, for me most Magic decks and cards lack flavor in comparison to Yugioh decks. Magic decks often feel like a mash of good cards with little thematic cohesion and just trying to do the same goal like Mill decks mill with not much variation. While Yugioh decks are build around archetypes with specific playstyles that match what the art represents. For example Labrynth is about a dungeon boss building their lair and filling it with traps so the deck is build around activating traps to disrupt your opponent.
    Plunder Patroll is an archetype of cards that's about a bunch of troll viking pirates, so their gameplan is to equip the smaller monsters, representing the crew of a ship, to bigger stronger extra deck monsters that represents ships who gets abilities from having cards equipped, representing crewing a ship
    and there's many more

    I feel like yugiohs biggest downside would be its lack of a cash prize which doesnt make people want to play it. Why play yugioh when you can play pokemon for cheaper and get better prizes? I respect why they dont want cash prizes but it still is nto a good choice to get people in or out of the game.

      Not really, the cards like Iris and De-Fusion never saw play even when they got released. And they're also talking about modern Yugioh, no previous formats.

    Hey, Pokémon also has flavor text, but it comes in the form of Pokédex entries lifted straight from the game, so it's not super interesting, and plus you might already be familiar with the Pokémon from another part of the franchise, be it the games or anime.
    Meanwhile in Yu-Gi Oh! for instance, what the fuck is an IP Masquerena??? Yea you've gotta read the lore on that card, no other way around it, so yea the flavor text in Pokémon is there but doesn't really play a role

    15:38 they should add flavor texts to tokens, they should release token versions of every card as tokens etc with text

    Yeah, Hearthstone is getting rid of boards and the game hasn't had a 'warcraft' feel to it for a long time, toy store expansion followed by hotel expansion... It's getting tiresome
