*Hope you guys all enjoyed today's new video! What is your favorite Legacy Yu-Gi-Oh deck?* 🧐 How People Played Yu-Gi-Oh 20 Years Ago - ruclips.net/video/ZZ2Wd9QNgts/видео.html
I had a Six Samurai deck that used those "monsters cannot attack" spells/traps to protect them while they used their activated abilities to slowly clear my opponent's board. So when I got Master Duel I looked up a youtube video of a Six Samurai deck. It was... a bit different than what I remembered 😅
I have a deck I made that's a Dark Magician/Blue-Eyes hybrid..not competitive, but it's fun nevertheless. And with the new Egyptian god decks that came out, I made one that uses all three of them.. again, not competitive but pretty fun! Now, both of these decks are not "bad" just not as fast or good as my more modern decks
@@trustyrat8632 The face up extra deck stuff is more complicated than it needs to be. They could have instead made it so you can pendulum summon one pendulum monster from the grave each turn instead.
@@JAN0L this right here. Synchro, xyz, and links are easy to learn. But pendulum with the face up extra deck stuff makes my head hurt. It’s even worse when you wanna finish the solo gates in MD but you have to play those pendulum decks. And I’m pretty sure those aren’t even the good kind of decks
The way I explain modern yugioh to people who have not played in a long time is. "Yea you know when you watched the first couple seasons of yugioh and you were like wait they can't do that it's ridiculous. Well now you can do those ridiculous things."
@@asunayuuki3583 you trade with friends buy and sell with strangers basically. When you and a buddy go buy a box each of a set but need different cards you pull and trade with each other what you need. Trade value is based on monitary value though.
I thought it would be Dark Hole: I mean how else is he going to get rid of all 4 of those Monsters that he has chained summoned... ...and then his opponent plays a hand trap or negates it with a monster effect already on the field making his slow spell card useless. Swords of revealing light is more of a hinderance than a good card in these types of games: instead of being able to remove cards you're stuck letting your opponent build up a ridiculous combo that you can't counter... you might be able to use a dust feather or a mystical space typhoon: but that's not going to counter monster effects. The only other problem is when you remove a card from the field to the graveyard that allows you to search and special summon, but in most cases your opponent will just do it anyway via Tribute summon and most of your opponent monsters will also have other effects going off at the same time: which is why it's better to try throw a Dark Hole at them because if their combo involved having the tribute summon in a specific order in order to get a certain card on the board: then you've ruined their combo and in some cases locked them out of their original play. In other words, your opponent will have this built up set of monster effects no matter what: negating an attack is not going to last very long when all your opponent has to do is build up next turn to a stage where they just destroy the spell or have a monster that is not effected by spells: swords of revealing light in most cases can't do a lot to stop most things from happening: it's an overhyped anime move that is easy to counter. With an obscure ruling that states if it's destroyed while on the field - it's effect is null and void so basically it can just be seen as a continuous spell that destroys itself in 3 turns with no negate protection or a "you cannot target this card by x": barely even worth playing.
Link is simpler as a summoning method, IMO. It's only more complicated when you get into the combos Explaining where the monster gets summoned to seems about as complicated as explaining how Xyz materials work, since they both throw a curveball into the rest of the game's functions
I think I can safely say the reason most of us prefer the OG Yugioh decks and strategy is because it was a build up against your opponents, and the times when things got heated it felt like a proper drawn out battle, I've tried a few decks and duels from the newer age stuff and it just feels like super fast bouts that aren't as thrilling as the OG stuff, just my opinion though.
Also turns where faster and simpler but now one turn can last like ten mins with how long some card combos go. Between that and negation hell that's the meta when it finally your turn you mite not get to play at all.
Everyone gangsta until Konami release new Parshath/ counter fairy support that can activate counter trap from hand or during the turn it was set just like traptrix does with normal trap.
@@mfznal-hafidz8592 Seriously though even if it only worked on the first turn that would be a new crazy fairy deck. I always did like Parshath and counter fairy. Neo Parshath is afterall the only monster or even card that really uses all those awesome life points you can gain. We need more cards like that so we can make LP gain a viable strat again.
I really hope Master Duel will do an event where you go back in time before Yugioh GX and you can only use cards before that, and all the other cards are banned. It would be a hell of a fun play. (And it would be good for boomers like myself)
Are you insane I would just make a deck to steal my opponents deck so they can't play anything cause then it would turn into my play and yes there are cards that can do this in that format also the game would be so damn slow
@@hernanperez5737 Would it, though? I mean, waiting 5 or 7 minutes for your opponent to end his first turn (and then you get negated on yours) feels way more slow than old yugioh, sure the duel would last longer, but each player would play shorter turns, set a few cards, summon one or two monsters, maybe a special summon and that's it, and then your turn, you do kinda the same and so on, both players get to play more and at a faster pace.
@@Ismael900G Thats what I liked about the older styles. Slower, very deliberate power-plays. Simple and clean. I'm just trying to play a card game, not be a min-maxing speed runner. Feels more like a chess game. New stuff is still fun in its way, but like you said, the whole waiting several minutes for the first turn to be over, only to get your turn negated and lose instantly, just isnt. Actually playing the game is whats fun for me, not winning >.>
I think the biggest problem I have with modern-day Yu-Gi-Oh is just the power creep. It's also not fun when you just lose on your first turn or even get a first turn for that matter
Agreed. Hand traps just seem dirty and some what unsportsmanlike. If it can't be countered then it feels unfair. I also hate the whole concept of first turn ftk. How is that in any way fair. They may as well make a card that says "when summoned win game". It should be a duel not a I won the coin toss so I win the game.
@@Slater6377 In the very least, they should have been _literal_ Trap Cards, so that there wouldn't at least also be the intrinsic advantage of their being monster cards, niche as them being used as material might be.
@@christopherb501 As a trap card I would be fine with them. Traps can get popped far more easily than cards in the hand. The power creep is what caused the problem. If first turn ftk was not a thing then cards such as AshB would not need to exist. I'm not saying go back to original format. The new stuff is fun and interesting. It would only take a few small changes to bring things back into balance. The whole idea behind not having a battle phase on the first go is so your opponent has a chance. Circumventing that with decks like gem knights is not in good faith to the rules. Like many things in d&d. Rules as written vs rules as intended.
I recently played Master Duel and I am so excited to get back to local tournaments!! I even brought my old deck, Synchro Cat! I'm sure it will do well!
Only thing i can confirm as an old yugioh player, whenever pendulums were introduced i stopped playing around 16, i srarted up like a month ago, 22 now, and the only one i struggle with is still pendulums but im getting it, link monsters are a neat mechanic, i kinda like that
This is exactly how I felt trying to get back into yugioh after 10+ years. It was too confusing so gave up. I'm jus gonna install the old yugioh PC games
@@justagamer878 my buddy is silver but he’s mad that his Gaia deck can’t beat meta decks that run tons of handtraps. I beat him with relinquished and I negated everything. He wanted to uninstall xD
@@FecalMatador Don't run negates and floodgates when playing your homie dude. Playing with friends is the perfect time to play casual decks and goofy strategies.
At first I felt the same. But then they throw you into duels with a bunch of cards you never saw before, each with an essay of text and ask you to find the best ways to combine those on your own. Did not felt great in my opinion.
@@Ronald_Ruck the only ones that had an essay of text were the pendulum decks(which I agree, they teach you horribly) and the megalith cards. Everything else was pretty straightforward. It does get kinda bad at the end because you go against Timelords with a lightsworn deck
@@FecalMatador But still when you have not followed the game for over ten years all those archetypes and how they work together are overwhelming. It is absolutely great that they exist and have their own strategies, using different aspects and mechanics of the game. But when you are not introduced to them one by one (like somebody who followed the game all these years) it is a lot to read and connect at once. Dueling against other players feel awkward as I don't want my opponent to bother to read their cards again and again to consider how to react to them. But of course, maybe it is just me.
@Aquarium Gravel How are you liking the game? If you have any friend who also like master duel I highly suggest you and a friend slowly building up decks together, it some of the most fun you can have. Rouge vs Rouge is the best time you can have in YGO.
I really appreciate you guys mentioning legacy support for fan fav archetypes. Seeing all the new cyber dragon cards that came out helped me a ton when coming back
@@Warrenmitchum the game was always gonna evolve bro either that or it be a dead tcg I don’t like playing stuff like eldlich or drytron, so I appreciate the fact that I can get newer cards to help out decks I do like playing like cydra and Dinos
I’m having a lot of fun with nostalgia archetype decks that got a big update, obviously blue eyes and dark magician but also harpies, gravekeepers, and cyber dragons
I would never start explaining about the extra deck yet, I would start from explaining Special summoning, telling them hand traps are like the effect of Kuriboh, activating cards from the graveyard and there is a 6th monster zone for the extra deck
I remember when I stated playing on YgoPro Geargias were a new thing and Gear Gigant X was super cool. Now I don't even remember what they do. I just remembered them because Gadget monster were mentioned.
Man I can relate. I stopped after 5ds (early 5ds when machina fortress was considered an op boss). XYZ summons aren't that bad, it's everything after pendulum summoning for me.
I like how paul just excluded pendulum summing out of this list. Can you do a duel where you battle using seven different colored sets from the rainbow. 2 reds, 2 oranges, 2 yellows, etc. you guys rock
@@sirswagabadha4896 yes duel links is also what made me get back into yugioh and I learn alot stuff from playing that game that I now transfer that knowledge into the tcg or master duel.
It more revealed to me how little interest I have in the game as a player. I kept my old deck but am doomed to hating the modern game. But I feel only slightly less strongely about hating modern MTG outside commander.
I'm a returning player as well. I have to say that Im really overwhelmed with what i'm experience in master duel. I find my self overwhelm just reading long card description again and again and having hard time to memorize each card name and what they do. Seeing how much special summon and long combo one can do, i end up only reading the opponent card description by the end of their turn with what they have on the field. And still... I'm missing reading a lot of card that they can activate from their graveyard. I think konami should limit how many special summon you can do in a turn to have game interaction between each player more often like classic gameplay.
@@10hitscombo well those are things that alot people don't like about modern yugioh,since if you want to play old school you either have to play the old yugioh game boy advance games or tag force games or play old school yugioh with your friends in irl or online.
GX and the series decks like jesse’s, jadens,aster, Cyrus, Alexis,Yubel are my fav for nostalgia and enjoyment. Used to play yugioh with my best friend on the morning and afternoon bus every day to elementary school. Basically elemental heroes vs elemental heroes decks lol, a lot of fun tho
I remember playing casually with my friends. Mostly just playing 1 monster a turn...sometimes a special summon here and there. We even used monsters that had flip effects!! haha Master Duel is awesome...I'm glad it exists. But damn it's frustrating for me. Decks now feel so incredibly complicated and broken/over powered now. Maybe competitive Yu-Gi-Oh has always been super broken? I've only ever played 'kitchen table casual'. I miss the simpler times!!
I remember those times. I also remember blowing everyone out of the water when i got my chaos deck. I quit the game because people started playing by the forbidden list where i live the day it came out. Pretty much my entire deck was useless and as a kid that mean't a lot. Coming back the new decks ain't that much scarier than my old Chaos deck so it wasn't as much of a leap. Just had to switch old traps for faster cards since ya can't keep things on the field anymore. Unfortunately all the Errata's made my old chaos deck no longer what it once was. Not to mention some cards still being banned. Master Duel is really fun once you get into it but i am definitely enjoying the N/R event for its slower more methodical play.
My friend had an older dark armed dragon and I had a dark world fun deck with same phantom knights so I said “Would you trade that?” And he said “How much is it worth?” And I said 30$ maybe at cheapest and then he said “ I will sell this for $40.” And I said, “Every EBay user ever.”
And Synchro's are pretty easy to understand, just gotta do a little bit of math is all and have a tuner monster. The other summoning mechanics are way too convoluted.
As someone who started playing Yugioh as a kid at the beginning of Zexal and only played very casual players on and off until 2017, this is how I felt when I got back into Yugioh in the Link era.
Okay but lets be real, returning player said he played Master Duel. If you play the first missions of Solo mode they teach you about link, xyz, synchro fusion and pendulum. And if he tried ranked he'd know about link and Xyz at least lol.
@@dudono1744 We mainly do that only if there is a floodgate that we need to out first. That is because the Normal Summon no longer goes to a massive beatstick, but rather to a combo starter or extender depending on deck
They honestly need to cater to players who actually like playing old-school style, the new methods with Link and Pendulum monsters are too skewed against traditional play methods.
Uhh. Not true? best deck in the game is Despia and Swordsoul. A fusion and synchro deck respectfly. Drytron is a ritual deck. Eldlich don't use an ED AT ALL. Really no new methods used lol.
I played like 20 duels in master duel, every match on turn 1 the opponent summons like 10 monsters that they combine to get like 3-4 5000atk monsters and go through half of his deck shuffling and adding and discrading cards all the time and when I try to put down a card it immediately gets negated and destroyed.... its ridiculous. screw modern yu-gi-oh that ain't even fun lol
Yes. Literally the oponent has 27 cards in the hand grave banished and field and you just barely drew your first card. Oh it’s hand trap you needed 2 minutes ago which is now a useless garnet because your opponent has the same boring af appouloosa on the field with 3200 attack and after she negates every one of your cards you’re gonna get clobbered by a boring generic Accesscode Talker.
@@isidoreaerys8745 bro I felt this comment, the current meta is whack AF and beyond unbalanced, you can't even call it dueling anymore, it's basically one turn games, 2 if you're Lucky, 3 if you're extremely lucky, there is nothing fun about being board locked 10 seconds into a duel I miss the days when a basic red eyes with no effect or anything was considered a threat
That’s not yugioh no more , when we had our unique deck built with our favorite cards , really miss this time when our deck were not op but decent to make crazy combos . Now turn 1 : synchro summon then tribute to synchro summon an other monster , then xyz the same monster , draw 10 cards , activate 50 effects , then summon a 10000atk monster that cant be targeted by effects or monsters . Yes it’s not fun to watch someone do this , you don’t even know what the Fck he is doing
This is so accurate lmao. Since this video mentioned Master Duel, it is a great game. It’s somehow easy to build a deck. I built my Noble Knights deck in just a day by dismantling and crafting cards! Edit: Screw Noble Knights!
When old and new collide. I asked one of my friends if he knew what yugioh was and he said "Oh yeah is it the one where the main characters name is Shobu". I legit laughed and cringed at the same time. How do you guys not run out of ideas to make these skits.
Returning yugiboomer here (played from 2006-2013), from my experience coming back, the game is actually super fun and extremely diverse....if you're playing casual lol Just don't touch competitive and you'll be fine lol
I just play casual GOAT format with the inclusion of cards up until 2010 or so. Can't even read the text on most new cards lol eyes are too junk and the new stuff doesn't have the same vibe.
I've noticed a lot of people don't even understand modern yugioh, competitive is actually pretty diverse, with about 10 different decks making it into top cut, not to mention the idea that new cards are the problem, despite the fact that old cards are far worse, old cards allowed for EASY FTK's and was even worse because hand traps didn't exist back then so there was no way to stop it.
I love how people think hand traps are a modern thing when hand traps existed in duel momsters, they even made a set around the original hand trap’s brothers recently.
Are returning Pokemon players still assuming that Hitmonchan is peak Haymaker? Are returning MtG players assuming that Counterspell never left Standard? I do NOT get what these nincompoops are expecting when they return after literal decades.
This was me back in 2018 when some friends invited me to play YGO, the only knowledge I had about the game was Joey the Passion and the anime up until GX Took me like 2 months to fully understand modern Yu-Gi-Oh lol
Exodia, Final Countdown, DEATH, both No. 88s, Angel of Mischief, Flying Elephant, that one Spell Card that needs to be banished three times, Exodius, etc.
As always, y'all kill it with the skits! Though I personally am not a big "money trader". I still do legit trades. At least with some of my friends. Of course if someone wanted to buy something off of me, I wouldn't refuse, but also trading for like a certain amount of cards I might want/need would also suffice. Benefits of being a low-tier rogue player sometimes xD
How to not drive Players Away: Ritual Monsters:Sacrifice 1 or more monster with the same or more than Level amount to summon a Ritual Monster. Fusion Summon:Using Monster's names to Fuse them together Synchro Suoninh:A Monster called a Tuner, Who adds their levels to 1 or 2 more non Tuner Monsters to summon a Synchro Monsters in the Extra Deck XYZ:Using the Levels of the Monsters to summon and equal Level (Rank) Monster in the extra deck. (Levels and Type of Monsters) Pendulum Summoning:Using 2 Monsters with a Pendulum Scale, You can special summon monsters with the Pendulum Scale's (Pendulum Scale: 1 and 8) (You can special summon as many monsters from 2 to 7 in youre hand) and WHEN a Pendulum Monster gets destroyed. They go to the Extra Deck Link Summoning:Contact Fusion (Short and Sweet)
Links really are just low-condition contact fusion... never really thought of it like that Pendulums are... I think the fact you spent as much time on them as you did on the previous three ExDeck types explains why its kinda intimidating, and you didn't even mention Pendulum Effects In the end, everything except Fusions is Math, and everything except Pendulums is spend materials, get monster
Funny because Yugioh has always been an expensive game competitively. I’m sure old players only complain about the prices now because they played playground Yugioh with ripped in half and crumbled commons and never played meta then…
As one of those old players I can agree. I don't want to play competitively. I just want to relive some of my old playground days with a bit more adherence to the rules.
I never complained about the price, I actually played back in the day with PRINTED cards lmao. But I do complain about the new mechanics .... a lot, the simply suck lol
This is only really true to an extent tbh, $100 cards were not as common as they are now. And if you look at deck prices for tournament topping decks they've been going up in general since like 2014 for most decks. And the past is no excuse for the present, OCG has no problem with card prices yet here konami refuses to reprint staples that need a lower rarity or just to be more common as much as they should be doing. Pot of desires was one of the only affordable good ones and big surprise, it got yeeted. If your deck can't run extravagance or duality now it's just like I hope you like paying 400 bucks for 3 cards or just missing out on the consistency if you don't. And droplet even got reprinted and it still barely budged. I don't even get what's in it for them, past a point they no longer profit from old sets as it's all secondary market.
@@CharlesZaiyan "I just want to relive some of my old playground days with a bit more adherence to the rules." Ah, you've put something I've been feeling into words.
5-6 turns. hah master duel consists of two turns. first player dishes out a 4 monster combo each with negates then the second player has everything negated before surendering the duel. anyone agree?
@@Shirouya dunno what deck u play but i run a utopia deck that ends with 3-4 monsters each with negates so if i go first then my opponet cant do anything beacause it just gets negated
@@riyaad4127 In the meta its pretty much it, they draw half their deck, set up an the the nagation board and you are dead in 2 turns, unless you also play those op cards, but then the game is boring as hell
Yes, the first player dishes out a 4 monster combo that each have negates but as they're doing that the second player gets to sharpen his knife. Now tell me what's going to happen when it reaches the second player's turn or even before?
On one hand I love some of the new mechanics. But on the other hand the game feels a little more soul crushing. I know what he said is true but seems too many people play meta decks. Where's the fun crafting your own deck?
This happens in ALL TCGs; it's a romantic conceit, but it never plays out en masse in practice. Unless you can get together with friends and agree to rules that will tone things down, you just can't expect it to happen.
I like a lot of the new mechanics as well, link summons seemed interesting to me as well as XYZ (pendulum can jump off a cliff,) but handcrafting my own decks has always been half the fun for me. It's just frustrating to wait for five minutes to not do anything because I don't play optimally.
I mean I played it before everything came out then these new ones came out and I learned it in under 20 minutes it's simple to learn as long as you play Yu-Gi-Oh like a og playing hundreds of games a day
Haha, this is a wonderful skit, but it also shows how much i need to catch up as a original yugioh player from back in the day 😅 (Being a dutch nutcase with autism and living in a country where almost no one plays this wonderful tcg has a role in it too 🤔) Thank you paul, for the wonderful new vid. Have a greet weekend and I can’t wait for more content, so i start watch the older vids for bringing me back up to date with the tcg😅 (Got a a couple of structure decks and a megatin for fun tha last couple of months, still need to learn a lot of stuff to be getting a bit decent again, but still, having fun is important, being bad or not 😂)
My son got me back into dueling, he bought a structure deck, albaz strike, so I dusted off my old dragon deck and beat him three times 🤣🤣, then he got me into master duel and I started dueling against modern decks but couldn't get pass silver 3 with my deck and got so confused with the new strategies. I started looking up the archetypes and play styles and now am building 3 decks😁, marincess (link type), dragonmaid (fusion oriented) and legendary fisherman (xyz)
For a second I thought the trap in his binder was macro cosmos and was like “what do you mean these cards suck” until I realized it was spellbinding circle.
I added platinum gadget this week to my machina deck. It gives me a great combo to summon a xyz monster of rank 4, 7, 9 or 10. It mostly helped me to do a quick burn damage when time runs out.
Hey guys new listener this past month but love the channel so far. I just started rewatching yu-gi-oh from season 1 and currently on episode 5. Now that I'm watching it again as an adult it's crazy how much the show didn't add up with the actual rules of the game. Lol

“So like you can activate solemn judgment, from the hand?”….. “yea.. yea, I guess you can” Im dead💀🤣
Everyone gangsta until Konami release new Parshath/ counter fairy support that can activate counter trap from hand or during the turn it was set just like traptrix does with normal trap.
@@mfznal-hafidz8592 im dying for that day
@@mfznal-hafidz8592 my boy Neo-Parshath would cry tears of joy :D
@@mfznal-hafidz8592 Seriously though even if it only worked on the first turn that would be a new crazy fairy deck.
I always did like Parshath and counter fairy. Neo Parshath is afterall the only monster or even card that really uses all those awesome life points you can gain. We need more cards like that so we can make LP gain a viable strat again.
He could've told him about the actual gadget support. Like dang. That was dirty. I'm an old player who still plays so..... Yeah I get it.
yeah theres gold gadget silver gadget and all the rap monsters for them
Or Blue Eyes support, since the first 3 cards in that binder were those.
@Xavier_zeo Exodia Solitaire?
He probably just wanted to off his Magicians' Souls
@Xavier_zeo that was a Silent deck with Gadget support.
I really hope Master Duel will do an event where you go back in time before Yugioh GX and you can only use cards before that, and all the other cards are banned. It would be a hell of a fun play. (And it would be good for boomers like myself)
u mean GOAT event?
You wanna play GOAT? Just know that it won't be like you think it will be.
Are you insane I would just make a deck to steal my opponents deck so they can't play anything cause then it would turn into my play and yes there are cards that can do this in that format also the game would be so damn slow
@@hernanperez5737 Would it, though? I mean, waiting 5 or 7 minutes for your opponent to end his first turn (and then you get negated on yours) feels way more slow than old yugioh, sure the duel would last longer, but each player would play shorter turns, set a few cards, summon one or two monsters, maybe a special summon and that's it, and then your turn, you do kinda the same and so on, both players get to play more and at a faster pace.
@@Ismael900G Thats what I liked about the older styles. Slower, very deliberate power-plays. Simple and clean. I'm just trying to play a card game, not be a min-maxing speed runner. Feels more like a chess game. New stuff is still fun in its way, but like you said, the whole waiting several minutes for the first turn to be over, only to get your turn negated and lose instantly, just isnt. Actually playing the game is whats fun for me, not winning >.>
"I don't think I can convince my mom to buy a $100 card" 🤣
I think the biggest problem I have with modern-day Yu-Gi-Oh is just the power creep. It's also not fun when you just lose on your first turn or even get a first turn for that matter
For me it's the price and lack of events
Agreed. Hand traps just seem dirty and some what unsportsmanlike. If it can't be countered then it feels unfair. I also hate the whole concept of first turn ftk. How is that in any way fair. They may as well make a card that says "when summoned win game". It should be a duel not a I won the coin toss so I win the game.
@@Slater6377 they can be countered wym?
@@Slater6377 In the very least, they should have been _literal_ Trap Cards, so that there wouldn't at least also be the intrinsic advantage of their being monster cards, niche as them being used as material might be.
@@christopherb501 As a trap card I would be fine with them. Traps can get popped far more easily than cards in the hand. The power creep is what caused the problem. If first turn ftk was not a thing then cards such as AshB would not need to exist. I'm not saying go back to original format. The new stuff is fun and interesting. It would only take a few small changes to bring things back into balance. The whole idea behind not having a battle phase on the first go is so your opponent has a chance. Circumventing that with decks like gem knights is not in good faith to the rules. Like many things in d&d. Rules as written vs rules as intended.
I recently played Master Duel and I am so excited to get back to local tournaments!!
I even brought my old deck, Synchro Cat! I'm sure it will do well!
May the Rescue Cat patron bless you
Man, if “old” Yugioh players are using the Gadget monsters, then I am a “ancient” Yugioh player 😆 I’m still rockin the Gate Guardian! 😝
im still using blue eyes
LIKE THE TRUE KAIBA
I played Forbidden Memories only and I'm a true ancient player as well, hahahaha.
I got kuriboh
I actually tribute monsters tu summon a 5 star 1800atk normal monster
I actually still used Egyptian God + Exodia deck
Only thing i can confirm as an old yugioh player, whenever pendulums were introduced i stopped playing around 16, i srarted up like a month ago, 22 now, and the only one i struggle with is still pendulums but im getting it, link monsters are a neat mechanic, i kinda like that
This is exactly how I felt trying to get back into yugioh after 10+ years. It was too confusing so gave up. I'm jus gonna install the old yugioh PC games
man, I had fun with duel links, dropped as the game caugh up with modern stuff
I love when you guys film at A&H. It always feels like I'm at home.
Good guy Paul not scamming the new players and trying to sell them that Magician's Souls for $150
Still 150 if he wants a full playset tho

Perhaps he played solo, or he is still at beginner/bronze

Truth.
That part of it never really changed, it’s always been like that
Clearly he did not play the solo mode in master duel. That’s literally the only way I was able to learn all the new summons
At first I felt the same. But then they throw you into duels with a bunch of cards you never saw before, each with an essay of text and ask you to find the best ways to combine those on your own. Did not felt great in my opinion.
@@Ronald_Ruck the only ones that had an essay of text were the pendulum decks(which I agree, they teach you horribly) and the megalith cards. Everything else was pretty straightforward. It does get kinda bad at the end because you go against Timelords with a lightsworn deck
@@FecalMatador
But still when you have not followed the game for over ten years all those archetypes and how they work together are overwhelming. It is absolutely great that they exist and have their own strategies, using different aspects and mechanics of the game. But when you are not introduced to them one by one (like somebody who followed the game all these years) it is a lot to read and connect at once. Dueling against other players feel awkward as I don't want my opponent to bother to read their cards again and again to consider how to react to them.
But of course, maybe it is just me.
@Aquarium Gravel How are you liking the game? If you have any friend who also like master duel I highly suggest you and a friend slowly building up decks together, it some of the most fun you can have. Rouge vs Rouge is the best time you can have in YGO.
Frrr, master duel taught me how to pendulum and link summon.
I really appreciate you guys mentioning legacy support for fan fav archetypes. Seeing all the new cyber dragon cards that came out helped me a ton when coming back
But they ditched my BLS instead
@@ultronsigma2737 your time will come friend
The fact they had to make new support shows how fucked up abd unbalanced the game has become.
@@Warrenmitchum the game was always gonna evolve bro either that or it be a dead tcg
I don’t like playing stuff like eldlich or drytron, so I appreciate the fact that I can get newer cards to help out decks I do like playing like cydra and Dinos
@@cinemacyborg2181 well the game is based off of magic the gathering and magic the gathering never evolved like this so why should yugioh?
I’m having a lot of fun with nostalgia archetype decks that got a big update, obviously blue eyes and dark magician but also harpies, gravekeepers, and cyber dragons
I would never start explaining about the extra deck yet, I would start from explaining Special summoning, telling them hand traps are like the effect of Kuriboh, activating cards from the graveyard and there is a 6th monster zone for the extra deck
I remember when I stated playing on YgoPro Geargias were a new thing and Gear Gigant X was super cool. Now I don't even remember what they do. I just remembered them because Gadget monster were mentioned.
Man I can relate. I stopped after 5ds (early 5ds when machina fortress was considered an op boss). XYZ summons aren't that bad, it's everything after pendulum summoning for me.
I like how paul just excluded pendulum summing out of this list. Can you do a duel where you battle using seven different colored sets from the rainbow. 2 reds, 2 oranges, 2 yellows, etc. you guys rock
Cause they're mostly from hand if I had to guess
Me an old Yu gi oh player: wha😃
Gonna start activating cards from my opponents binder one day
"Is there any way i can play my decks in a modern way?"
*Distant yells about the Traditional Format*
If they didn't fast forward through the explanations this could have actually been a Starter Video for returning new players.
Good skit,this shows how yugioh has changed but master duel and duel links can help old school players get into modern yugioh.
Duel links is 100% the way to go to get back into the game and learn new pacing/combos. Went from a boomer to enjoying master duel myself
@@sirswagabadha4896 yes duel links is also what made me get back into yugioh and I learn alot stuff from playing that game that I now transfer that knowledge into the tcg or master duel.
It more revealed to me how little interest I have in the game as a player. I kept my old deck but am doomed to hating the modern game. But I feel only slightly less strongely about hating modern MTG outside commander.
I'm a returning player as well. I have to say that Im really overwhelmed with what i'm experience in master duel. I find my self overwhelm just reading long card description again and again and having hard time to memorize each card name and what they do. Seeing how much special summon and long combo one can do, i end up only reading the opponent card description by the end of their turn with what they have on the field. And still... I'm missing reading a lot of card that they can activate from their graveyard. I think konami should limit how many special summon you can do in a turn to have game interaction between each player more often like classic gameplay.
@@10hitscombo well those are things that alot people don't like about modern yugioh,since if you want to play old school you either have to play the old yugioh game boy advance games or tag force games or play old school yugioh with your friends in irl or online.
GX and the series decks like jesse’s, jadens,aster, Cyrus, Alexis,Yubel are my fav for nostalgia and enjoyment. Used to play yugioh with my best friend on the morning and afternoon bus every day to elementary school. Basically elemental heroes vs elemental heroes decks lol, a lot of fun tho
I remember playing casually with my friends. Mostly just playing 1 monster a turn...sometimes a special summon here and there. We even used monsters that had flip effects!! haha
Master Duel is awesome...I'm glad it exists. But damn it's frustrating for me. Decks now feel so incredibly complicated and broken/over powered now. Maybe competitive Yu-Gi-Oh has always been super broken? I've only ever played 'kitchen table casual'. I miss the simpler times!!
I remember those times. I also remember blowing everyone out of the water when i got my chaos deck. I quit the game because people started playing by the forbidden list where i live the day it came out. Pretty much my entire deck was useless and as a kid that mean't a lot.
Coming back the new decks ain't that much scarier than my old Chaos deck so it wasn't as much of a leap. Just had to switch old traps for faster cards since ya can't keep things on the field anymore. Unfortunately all the Errata's made my old chaos deck no longer what it once was. Not to mention some cards still being banned.
Master Duel is really fun once you get into it but i am definitely enjoying the N/R event for its slower more methodical play.
Yes competitive ygo has always been scuffed
If anything now you actually have ways to stop an opponents ftk
Master Duel also only has the OCG banlist.
@@InversedNoise Not quite. It is a crude mix of TCG and OCG banlist
@@V2ULTRAKill finally, someone who gets it
My friend had an older dark armed dragon and I had a dark world fun deck with same phantom knights so I said “Would you trade that?” And he said “How much is it worth?” And I said 30$ maybe at cheapest and then he said “ I will sell this for $40.” And I said, “Every EBay user ever.”
I was a huge fan of Yu-Gi-Oh when I was younger and collected and dueled alot with my friends. Now Yu-Gi-Oh is definitely way to complicated 🤣🤣🤣.

@@ultronsigma2737 With my 20-year-old collection, I have decks built upon old versions. While I have newer cards, I don't include them.

Toons were never even remotely good, let alone meta relevant or overpowered. That was literally never the thing.
Toons have always been bad. Was it just considered OP among your casual playgroup?

@@GoldenSunAlex True. Though I assume people got the impression Toons are OP because the anime said so
As someone who played until Synchros were released, this video perfectly captures how the current state of the game feels to me :D
Bro as a GOAT player this shit went over my head XD
And Synchro's are pretty easy to understand, just gotta do a little bit of math is all and have a tuner monster. The other summoning mechanics are way too convoluted.
It took me an entire year to learn modern yugioh from scratch.
This video shows perfectly how I try to explain Yu-Gi-Oh! to my family and friends.
and at the same time its the perfect example as to why you should step away from yugioh and never play the real life card game

Why not just play the original format?
As someone who started playing Yugioh as a kid at the beginning of Zexal and only played very casual players on and off until 2017, this is how I felt when I got back into Yugioh in the Link era.
I only play the 2004 version (inspired by the film).

Okay but lets be real, returning player said he played Master Duel. If you play the first missions of Solo mode they teach you about link, xyz, synchro fusion and pendulum. And if he tried ranked he'd know about link and Xyz at least lol.
When people say old yugioh they mean playground yugioh old meta yugioh was basically who gets yatagarasu first and they win

New and Old YugiOh fans meet the OG hardcore YuGiOh cultists. I know for sure they would roast both sides instantly
They honestly need to cater to players who actually like playing old-school style, the new methods with Link and Pendulum monsters are too skewed against traditional play methods.
Uhh. Not true?
best deck in the game is Despia and Swordsoul. A fusion and synchro deck respectfly. Drytron is a ritual deck. Eldlich don't use an ED AT ALL. Really no new methods used lol.
Yep, its not even the same game anymore at all, luckily I have a few mates who agree that these new additions blow.
Just play goat format lol
I agree although I kind of liked pendulum, I think a few minor changes could make it an interesting fringe mechanic
Pendulum is great, link is bs
"I brought GADGETS"
My heart skipped a beat and I had to sit down to avoid an aneurysm lmao
I played like 20 duels in master duel, every match on turn 1 the opponent summons like 10 monsters that they combine to get like 3-4 5000atk monsters and go through half of his deck shuffling and adding and discrading cards all the time and when I try to put down a card it immediately gets negated and destroyed.... its ridiculous. screw modern yu-gi-oh that ain't even fun lol
Literally my struggle with the game at the moment lol
Yes. Literally the oponent has 27 cards in the hand grave banished and field and you just barely drew your first card. Oh it’s hand trap you needed 2 minutes ago which is now a useless garnet because your opponent has the same boring af appouloosa on the field with 3200 attack and after she negates every one of your cards you’re gonna get clobbered by a boring generic Accesscode Talker.
@@isidoreaerys8745 bro I felt this comment, the current meta is whack AF and beyond unbalanced, you can't even call it dueling anymore, it's basically one turn games, 2 if you're Lucky, 3 if you're extremely lucky, there is nothing fun about being board locked 10 seconds into a duel
I miss the days when a basic red eyes with no effect or anything was considered a threat
Yeah literally whoever gets to go first wins
That’s not yugioh no more , when we had our unique deck built with our favorite cards , really miss this time when our deck were not op but decent to make crazy combos .
Now turn 1 : synchro summon then tribute to synchro summon an other monster , then xyz the same monster , draw 10 cards , activate 50 effects , then summon a 10000atk monster that cant be targeted by effects or monsters .
Yes it’s not fun to watch someone do this , you don’t even know what the Fck he is doing
The look on Paul’s face when he said Gadgets: priceless
This is so accurate lmao. Since this video mentioned Master Duel, it is a great game. It’s somehow easy to build a deck. I built my Noble Knights deck in just a day by dismantling and crafting cards!
Edit: Screw Noble Knights!
The best thing about playing a card game over the years is watching old, bad cards come back. I LOVE my Skull Servant deck
Fingers crossed we'll one day see the return of Cloudians or Fire Kings.
When old and new collide. I asked one of my friends if he knew what yugioh was and he said "Oh yeah is it the one where the main characters name is Shobu". I legit laughed and cringed at the same time. How do you guys not run out of ideas to make these skits.
Who's the kid with the spiky hair?
Someday i asked a kid at a garage sell if he had yugioh card and he told me "what is yugioh" oof that was a big punch in the stomach for me
So relatable as someone who used to play back from the og era up to 5Gs and has tried to get back into it twice now to no avail.
as a returning player I actually like all the new card types. What I don't like is how most games last only
that's generous; I'm lucky if I see a game go past turn 2 (on ladder/competitive)
If you play casually that’s not an issue
@@natedog8281 100% which is why that's pretty much all I'm doing now lol (updated to reflect)
I'm a YGO boomer that remembers a point in time when Legend of Blue Eyes and Metal Raiders were the only sets we had. 😭
When someone managed to drop a Gate Guardian and you basically had to topdeck your Black Hole.
Wish there would be a tournament or game that only allows cards up to, idk 2010 or something like that. But that's just a nostalgic wish by myself. :x
Same tbh. i don’t enjoy playing online anymore because of the new cards
Totally dude, that would be awesome. Like a rule set, "meta rule set" "old school rule set".
as long as banlists are changed or carefully picked it can be fun (otherwise you might run in cancer decks like frog FTK)
There is Edison format, which is like, 2010 format
I enjoy watching yalls skits as an OG player I enjoy playing both old and new yugioh
Realizing that some old players still need to convince their parent(s) to buy them cards makes me feel even older.
“Convince my mom to buy mechanical chaser”
Damn you, Reagan!
Honestly, yes. This video. Its the whole reason I refuse to play tourneys and why I stopped playing with random people on EDO pro.
Returning yugiboomer here (played from 2006-2013), from my experience coming back, the game is actually super fun and extremely diverse....if you're playing casual lol Just don't touch competitive and you'll be fine lol
I just play casual GOAT format with the inclusion of cards up until 2010 or so. Can't even read the text on most new cards lol eyes are too junk and the new stuff doesn't have the same vibe.
Yeah, pretty much. Competetive is broken on purpose.
I've noticed a lot of people don't even understand modern yugioh, competitive is actually pretty diverse, with about 10 different decks making it into top cut, not to mention the idea that new cards are the problem, despite the fact that old cards are far worse, old cards allowed for EASY FTK's and was even worse because hand traps didn't exist back then so there was no way to stop it.
I love how people think hand traps are a modern thing when hand traps existed in duel momsters, they even made a set around the original hand trap’s brothers recently.
I think Kuriboh is the oldest hand trap.
We also have Effect Veiler, a handtrap from 2010 that still sees play today.
Also Ash Blossom came out half a decade ago. I definitely don't consider her a "new" card anymore lmao.

This is honestly how I felt. Still don't have the hang on making proper combos but just getting the hang of Xyz took me a while

Funny because Yugioh has always been an expensive game competitively. I’m sure old players only complain about the prices now because they played playground Yugioh with ripped in half and crumbled commons and never played meta then…
As one of those old players I can agree. I don't want to play competitively. I just want to relive some of my old playground days with a bit more adherence to the rules.
I never complained about the price, I actually played back in the day with PRINTED cards lmao.
But I do complain about the new mechanics .... a lot, the simply suck lol
This is only really true to an extent tbh, $100 cards were not as common as they are now. And if you look at deck prices for tournament topping decks they've been going up in general since like 2014 for most decks.
And the past is no excuse for the present, OCG has no problem with card prices yet here konami refuses to reprint staples that need a lower rarity or just to be more common as much as they should be doing. Pot of desires was one of the only affordable good ones and big surprise, it got yeeted. If your deck can't run extravagance or duality now it's just like I hope you like paying 400 bucks for 3 cards or just missing out on the consistency if you don't. And droplet even got reprinted and it still barely budged.
I don't even get what's in it for them, past a point they no longer profit from old sets as it's all secondary market.

On one hand I love some of the new mechanics. But on the other hand the game feels a little more soul crushing. I know what he said is true but seems too many people play meta decks. Where's the fun crafting your own deck?
This happens in ALL TCGs; it's a romantic conceit, but it never plays out en masse in practice. Unless you can get together with friends and agree to rules that will tone things down, you just can't expect it to happen.
I like a lot of the new mechanics as well, link summons seemed interesting to me as well as XYZ (pendulum can jump off a cliff,) but handcrafting my own decks has always been half the fun for me. It's just frustrating to wait for five minutes to not do anything because I don't play optimally.

(Got a a couple of structure decks and a megatin for fun tha last couple of months, still need to learn a lot of stuff to be getting a bit decent again, but still, having fun is important, being bad or not 😂)
You tell someone of Pendulums and they run out of the building, FAR AWAY and you never see them again.
It’s funny how synchro players are still considered new, when synchro cards have been out over a decade
My son got me back into dueling, he bought a structure deck, albaz strike, so I dusted off my old dragon deck and beat him three times 🤣🤣, then he got me into master duel and I started dueling against modern decks but couldn't get pass silver 3 with my deck and got so confused with the new strategies. I started looking up the archetypes and play styles and now am building 3 decks😁, marincess (link type), dragonmaid (fusion oriented) and legendary fisherman (xyz)
As a Magic Player, If I ever wanna play old school Yu-Gi-Oh from time to time, I just play Ultimate Masters 2006 on GBA
For a second I thought the trap in his binder was macro cosmos and was like “what do you mean these cards suck” until I realized it was spellbinding circle.
this is why i still love playing the yugioh tag force series on my psp every once in a while. the game is still so much more simpler back then :'D
I like how Pendulum was never mentioned 😂
Listen “trade” in cards or cash either works. And you’ll likely get a better deal then your LGS. Most of em charge a fair bit higher then market
Master Duel actually did bring me back to playing YGO again, I just havent got around to playing with actual cards
I added platinum gadget this week to my machina deck. It gives me a great combo to summon a xyz monster of rank 4, 7, 9 or 10. It mostly helped me to do a quick burn damage when time runs out.
Hey guys new listener this past month but love the channel so far. I just started rewatching yu-gi-oh from season 1 and currently on episode 5. Now that I'm watching it again as an adult it's crazy how much the show didn't add up with the actual rules of the game. Lol
