Yugioh used to be a great back and forth game.

[Thundah]

Now you just sit and watch your opponent play one card, special summon 10 times, use 39 of their 40 cards in their deck, recycle their graveyard 4x over, get a board of omni-negates and then surrender after watching all of this happen for 10 minutes.

Sometimes they brick or ♥♥♥♥ up, then they surrender and you win. So boring. How can anyone enjoy this mess of a card game?

did you used to play competitively? which format was your favorite for back and forth interactions?

The last time I played Yugioh properly was the XYZ era. They were still special summon galore etc but there was also back and forth, unlike now where there seems to be none if you go up against "meta".

I still played through the Pendulum era but not as much as before.

no current deck summons more than 5 times. runick maybe once, labrynth 1-2 branded 3-4 floo 3-4. where are people finding summon spam decks on the ladder?

[flutter]

None of the top decks do any of this lol.

[Cinnamoon_dragon]

All tier 2 - 3 decks are combo decks: Adamancipator, Pendulum magician, Endymion, Dragon link, Lyrilusc, Swordsoul also summons more than 5 if counting tokens, which is enough for Nibiru, Ignister, Marincess, just to list a few

The fact that the best decks are the ones that don't do this is nonetheless amusing.

If you say the best, it would be nice to say which you think is the best, because now only Branded is considered a tier higher than this. Adamancipator is a weak deck? Say it again when you meet an opponent with a rock combo deck on a ladder, unprepared and going second

[Roleplayer]

Yeah I was there in the XYZ era and it had so much back and forth. We aren't looking back at Yugi-boomer age.

Most of my games ends after turn 4-5. Very rarely I face a opponent that I either win or lose to after nearly 14-17 rounds. Game as it is now only focus on the meta so people that want to stick to casual 3-5 tier decks wont have a place in this game and will rarely win anything.

They are forced to stick to playing vs friends or not play at all. Matchmaking is unfair too for new players. they get matched up agains veterants that run a deck with 15 handtraps while they got none and thier deck is 10x more superior then thier beginner deck they get handed out at the beginning.

Even my reptile deck can win going first against somebody who is unprepared. I don't like adamancipator but that's a very poor argument for anything lmao

Dude, I usually avoid exchanging toxic comments back and forth, but your arguments are only good for farming clown badges. Ignore me if you can, please, also Adamancipator

That never happened mate, you remember Yata Garasu, Naturia? Yugi always have lock / FTK decks, even hero can summon more than 10 times. Wait to see when they add Spright or Kashtira.

Adamancipator was between 2-3 before this month. It's goes up in tier not because it's better it's because it's playing 60 cards and doesn't get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by Runic like every other deck. It's the same tier 2-3 deck if you're not a runic player.

My first locals, I never even got to play the game because the only other guy who showed up was on Last Turn FTK and drew well.

go play duel links if you don't like combos or play old formats on dueling book
