The real problem with Master Duel

[Melraik]

It's not the meta
It's not the OTK's
It's not Maxx "C"

It's people who decide to take ages when they already have game, just hurry up and attack

Nobody wants to sit there without anything to stop you

[Terminal Desolation]

You still got cards in hand? You still got cards face down?

Sorry bud, I'm gonna make enough interaction to deal with whatever those could be. If that means I make Baronne + other stuff despite you having 2500 LP and no guys on board, so be it, but I ain't about to lose to something dumb like set Mirror Force or Battle Fader in hand into top decking something insane. Don't like it? The surrender button is right there, you're free to leave at any point if you know all your cards are dead, but I don't know that, so I'll ensure my victory.

Homie I don't think it's that deep. There are individuals out there when they already have game on board and the opponent is clearly 100% out of resources that they begin to do a victory lap. It's unnecessary and bad sportsmanship. Respect your opponent for sticking it through and save both of your guys' time. It's on the same level as time stalling in my opinion.

Did you even did the post at all

No cards in hand or board but still need to do a victory dance on his opponent for another 2 min is just him being a jerk. I saw it alot in old plat. They would summon alot of irellevant monsters just to do alot of random stuff and then finally attack. In rare cases they would keep ending his turn to give you pity rounds.

Had that a week ago. Some guy who was playing Tear/DM keep giving me pity turns for 5 whole rounds when he already had enough dmg win and I had nothing to stop him.

Sadly for him I ended up winning. Could had won 5 rounds ealier but wanted to flex so badly and ended up losing. And just to put more salt on his wound he surrendered on final attack ofc.

If you got game then just end it and move on. People dont really care how much money you spend to get all your flashy royals and alt cards they usually flex on you.

Believe it or not, this actually is considered a bad habit you should try to break by most meta players. Overplaying is definitely something that can bite you in the ass, because you may end up triggering something that you could have otherwise avoided, or misplay and flub when you could have otherwise go for game.

Generally speaking, if you 100%, unquestionably have game, you should go for it.

gonna be honest in the entire life on MD i have not seen a single person prolong the game in 1k hours, idk wtf ya'll are doing to get people like this

Yes, you might know you have nothing to stop me, but if I see cards in hand I don't know that. I'll play around potential hand traps or face downs, because that's what you do when you're trying to win. Your post doesn't say "have no cards in hand no cards on field," which is an entirely different circumstance

If I 100% unquestionably have game I do go for it, but I do not 100% unquestionably have game if my opponent could potentially, say, flip something stupid like Mirror Force, or drop an Imperm on say an Astraloud who needs the boosted attack for game. I'm not concerned about random hand traps like battle fader unless I know my opponent is on something jank like some stun build or something, but unless I've seen my opponent play enough to have a good knowledge of whether or not their hand is a threat, I'm playing it safe

And that's fine. There's a key phrase in their post "without anything to stop you."

I've had a few, probably about 3 that I can remember off the top of my head where my opponent just kept going even though they had a lethal board with negates and at that point I scooped to not waste any more of my time.

I only do this if I have daily tbh

I will assume that "already having the game" means your opponent had nothing in his hand, clear field from either backrow or any monster with after effect,
doesn't have any quick effect on graveyard ( or even banished), or something he has done one turn before this that somehow could do something. And this is something that actually done by "players who read" in yugioh, including tracing back all duel log in the current match.
Sometimes if players just too lazy to do all of that ( or never bother to begin with) they will just do anything they can to secure the win.

And there you go. Not everyone doing it because they want to flex. Some just doing it because they aren't that dedicated to do that other things in the first place.

But I did. Aren't you the one that didn't read my post? That's why I make sure I wrote everything to even support your claims. Isn't it ironic on how you are telling people to read while you are the one that ignoring text I wrote? Lollll

Most good decks have a way to rebuild your board and get cards back into your hand all from a single lucky draw... so yeah it might seem like overkill to keep combo'ing on someone with no cards in hand or field, but all it takes is them drawing maxx-C, pots, or something else which capitalizes on a weakness your opponent hasn't covered yet.

Your opponent can't read your mind. They have no clue whether or not you can stop them because they don't know what's in your deck.

Then you make yourself a single negate and go for game. Anythig els is just flexing at this point.

Ah right, I thought you were one of those people who skip past and comment

The Yugioh golden rule of thumb. (For Duelist A and Duelist B Apply all steps as instructed below)
Step one. Play then (Surrender/Pass Turn)
Step two. Play then (Surrender/Pass Turn)
Step three. Play then (Surrender/achieve victory) If the game is longer than two turns, perform step two and three on repeat.
It's easy as one, two, three, or as simple as Do, re, mi, ABC, one, two, three, baby you and me girl.

If you want to be a duelist, you gonna lose on turn 2. Then you repeat the process. What ya gonna do?
If you want to be a duelist, piloting is key. Deck building is second. Third comes victory.
