Who wants to play first gen?!

[76561199550924816]

Are you tired of 10mins combos?
One round to finish the dual?
Seeing the repeated meta decks?

Let's have a room themed 1st gen deck!
Rules are simple: Fusion and Rituals as special summon, regular tributes, field cards, magic cads, trap cards, regular cards and effect / flipe cards only

Get those iconic cards from the very first Yu gi and let's have those fun duals. Let's get creative and have the fun we've used to have before things went south with the current madness!

No body

I would if it was ranked...

[Fluffal Kyurem]

I'll use my Magical Scientist FTK deck.

Rules unclear, built Branded. Got told no meta, built Herald Drytron instead.

What you really wanna do is specify a specific set or year, and blanket-ban everything released after that. Just saying "Fusions and rituals only!" completely ignores the fact that those cards have advanced over the years as well.

Are you sure?
2004 wcs had chaos battle royal starting from semi final.
"Invasion of chaos " has yugi on the cover.

I could be sold. But I suggest using a recognized format like GOAT or Edison.

Because globally people don't want them. Look at how everytime someone asks on here to play them. No one responds "Hey lets play".

Edison is popular enough in the West to see play, but WorldWide? I doubt there's enough interest to attract Konami's attention.

Go to a Simulator if you want other formats.

Only IF there are generous amount of free gems for playing AND doesn't takes up more than 120 UR SR CP combine to craft.

Why not you host a event and have monetary prize top up for people who participate?

To be fair I don't respond because setting up games is a pain. MD just doesn't facilitate it well enough. If they just had a mode we could play or even custom room banlists, I would spend time playing those formats.

mtg has a lot of formats and i played all of them, historic and explorer, how can you know what people want when forums is not even 0.1% of playerbase. also is pretty naive believing that people want to be wrecked with unfair decks like labrynth all the time, idk how the deck still get running with unchanged state when runick and tearlaments got hit.

That's not actually true, what you mean to say is "You don't want them", a lot of older YGO players do what something like that, hence why Duel Links was popular when the game first came out and only Fusion/Ritual was available and there was no extra deck.

A lot of people are tired of the "Win-Win" or "No-Cost" effects of Modern YGO. That's the general problem from post 2010's card design.

Now you may feel that is "old" and "outdated" but that does not stop a significant amount of players wanting to engage with that version of the game as opposed to the broken modern version.

This game is not League or Fornite, it should not have to pander to Gen Z to stay relevant and other formats would be appreciated.

Every modern card has compensation effects to stop the Gen Z toddlers from whining or crying when their "Big, Bad, Monster" with 5000 effects dies. It just shows the difference in attitude between veteran players and Gen Z players. The fact Konami needs to compensate you for having a disadvantage is indicative of your generation as a whole.

I can hear the comments from the "teal-haired because my mother needs to pay attention to me" now... "But cards like Monster Reborn don't have downsides"... Yes... that is true but Monster Reborn did not have so many overpowered targets back in those days because there were not that many broken cards and you used to have the time needed to set up cards like Solemn Warning to prevent the summon.

Boss monsters used to mean something, rather then just being meaningless stepping stones to an overpowered card that was designed purely to sell well hence having a modern overbearing or ridiculous effect.

I've replied to a few of these posts in the past, but the OP usually doesn't follow through with things, or they just want to get steam friends and expect others to put the effort in. I'd happily join a discord server of people wanting to play older/more relaxed formats/custom ban lists. But last one I joined ended up with ~10 people and nobody ever actually asking for people to play. Granted *I* could be the one asking, but, I'm not overly fussed. I'm happy playing more modern stuff just as much as older stuff.

As for alternate formats, I'd love it if they made it so every weekend we had a draft format based on custom banlists/older formats. 500 gems to enter. You get 200 random cards pulled from a pack made for the draft. None of these cards can be broken down, nor do any pull in alternate finishes. 100 gems per win. 10 per loss(surrender doesn't count). Capped at 1k gems over 48 hours. Just a fun thing where people can screw around with whatever they pull, and only need to chase 10 wins over the weekend for full rewards.

"first gen"
are we talking about Pokemon or something? xD

[Taweret]

btw do you know guys what is beautiful about having many formats? when i play mtg arena, if i lose few times in a row or get bored with certain deck im faced against i switch the format, and i never again see that deck, because other formats have completely different meta. it's not the case in ygo master duel since even in events you see these decks.

even game like hearthstone that is digital only exclusive have more formats than this game, they added recently twist that is rotating format and you can use only cards from selected few expansions and released new cards dedicated to this format. i dont play it personally since i play wild mostly and im not interested in ongoing sets in it, but is really nice addition to the game.
