Why do people take so long on their turns?

[Painted Pig]

I haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh in forever but are duels usually this long? I'm tired of just watching someone play their entire deck in their first turn. This game needs a timer or summoning limit.

[Filipino Enjoyer]

the game has a time limit, which was already decreased which kneecapped certain decks, only because people were being salty babies and running down the clock that they decided to change it

Welcome to Master Duel.
Where the meta involves the player going first flooding their board with negates and other control effects to prevent their opponent from playing.

And thanks to powercreep, card advantage and consistency are through the roof, resulting in whoever wins the coinflip to go first wins the duel 99/100 times when people are using meta decks.

But since the turn timer doesn't decrease when cards are being played, and there's tons of engines, recycling, searching, drawing, ED, and flooding methods-
It's not too uncommon for players to take a 10 minute long turns.
If you're unlucky, you'll even come across someone taking a 30 minute long turn right off the bat.

The pacing of this game is shot, and this has been an issue for over a year now.
You can always go into your match history and report people for "slow play" though. Gotta do what you can to clean up the place.

if you copy pasted a deck you need time to read cards xD

So are you gonna tell me the names of the meta decks that build those huge boards? Or are you gonna keep running away when you can't defend your arguments?

Six Samurai might have the potential to make dumb boards, but there's a reason they aren't even rogue level, they simply are too fragile to a point where any interruption can be the death of them, and those decks run so many extenders that they actually need to start with that they themselves have no space for hand traps.

But if you're that scared of them, run a couple Nibiru, that and Maxx "C" ensures that you'll win almost every match Vs them.

Better question: Why do so many players keep sum more monsters when opponent have no monster left and no cards in his hand ? Your board already got what it takes to beat me down to 0 lifepoint so why jail your opponent for additional 3 min just to flex your flashy monsters ? Its just another way of telling your opponent he suck.

While I agree in principle, the thing is, the amount of BS that can suddenly happen on GY effects alone sort of warrants this type of behavior. Especially in the current meta where just because someone has no cards on the field or in their hand, it does not mean they are out of the game yet.

I'm sure some people might hate going against me since I usually have to read the oppositions cards and my own to make sure I don't do something stupid. I'm pretty forgetful, so that timer Nerf they did hurts some of the stuff I try to play.

The last time I didn't read while playing I used Maxx c on the pot card that doesn't let you special summon, so never again. I'm reading all your damn cards if I've never seen them or forget what they do.

Indeed. The number of people who lost because they went for game only to get repelled by a Snow or Bacon Saver or something else from my grave is enough to warrant careful play. If you don't know all your opponents cards in grave you need to either read them or set up a negate before going for lethal.

Checking the graveyard for those would take way less time than going full combo, and quite frankly one negate and/or banishing the whole graveyard would probably be good enough.

Its pretty clear who are the worst offenders, Adamancipator, Pendulums, @Ignister, Spyral, Salamangreat countless to name by now and sometimes Branded

All powercrept by decks that do less but can do it on practically any hand with any amount of opposing handtraps trying to stop them, and then do it all again next turn if you managed to punch through with anything short of an OTK.

Actually, scratch that. Salamangreat was considered meta on the ability to do the thing I said and not the thing you said. It was just plain powercrept. @Ignister is even funnier, seeing as their entire gameplan is to drop The Arrival Cyberse. They don't have interaction on your turn, but none of your interaction works either so it's "fair".

Salads, ignister and branded? Lol funny joke

Salads are heatsoul pass with war crime amounts of handtraps they draw into and the salad trap negate or accesscode update jammer otk, not exactly the giant board you're making it out to be

Ignister makes 1 single monster that can be outed by a common ED monster in goddess, not exactly the giant board you're making it out to be.

Branded makes icejade and maybe a masq at max, unless it vsing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ player playing 3x masq turbo, not really the huge board you're making it out to be
