Seems like I'll just play casually and enjoy all the new support for archtypes of yesteryear.
Again never opposed to learning the game or figuring out new mechanics I just really don't think I'd have fun playing or going against omni-negates/tributing others board.
I'm not trying to complain I really don't mind if this is how the game is now, I'm having fun with Speed Duel and enjoy the pace at which its going, I just would LIKE to get into advanced but again the omni-negate playstyle just isn't fun to me either as the player or opponent.
If the meta IS more than just omni-negates and there is other ways to play I'd be more interested, again I know there are very many Yugi-Boomers who get aggressive very quickly and I'm not trying to be like that. I'm more than happy playing my Eternal Duelist Souls and locally playing Speed Duels, Master Duels doesn't need to change for me.
I just was curious about the actual presence of omni-negate decks and if it really was as bad as I hear.
But my opinion is that YGO is the best card game that is the worst when played against other people, so take it with a grain of salt.
I agree with this and it sucks.
I have a ton of fun playing even competitively Speed Duel (which I understand is baby Yugioh to a lot of people here) I just don't think I can get into omni-negate meta.
I've played every other major card game over the years (old man Millennial rant) and something about Yugioh is always the most "fun" to me even though its balance may not be the most finely tuned (opinion not fact).
The root problem is where the matter of opinion comes in, some like me would take a "scorched earth" approach with the F/L list, others would be more judicious, there's a few crazies who actually like tier-0 formats where there's only one deck worth a damn, and of course the ever present argument over if Maxx C is a problem or not (it is and the OCG is just in denial about it imo).
This. This right here is why I want nothing more than all the ranters to actually follow through on their threats to "quit the game forever". The incessant complaints and drawn-out flame wars do nothing but discourage new players from participating, and I for one would like some new blood to play against.
All I can say is to remember that any group you see talking about a thing online is a minority group at best; the overwhelming majority of players are either too busy actually playing the game to pay attention to the forums or discords, or else choose to ignore them because of the cesspits they often are.
Can also say that hitting high ranks in Master Duel is a meaningless metric, as it is in most (if not all) of these kinds of card game simulators. Play enough duels in a given month with a deck that's baseline functional, your rank will drift towards Diamond regardless. Such is the nature of best-of-1 formats, luck ends up meaning more for your score than skill and even the best decks barely pull off 65% winrates. Disregarding surrenders of course, people are way too surrender-happy in this game.
Bottom line, if you want to try it out then do so. Don't be afraid to ask for questions and tips, just flag and disregard the trolls that'll crop up.
Fun fact, Blue eyes is (dare I say) "not bad" with the new support that just released. Dictator and Jet Dragon, while clearly anime-bait, are also legit good and actually offer some opening lines to play. Stuff that's not been seen in Blue-Eyes since Sage and Spirit Dragon were brought in. Still dies to Necrovalley and Ash, but what doesn't?
Meta decks are absolutely based around preventing your opponent from doing /anything/, and it seems like these decks have near a 100% chance of popping off on the first turn.
If you appreciate deck building and don't want to chase the top tier ranks, you can still enjoy this game, IMO.
