Blue eyes dimension.

[Arias]

What drug were they on inventing this? You can literally play out an opponent's entire hand with cards from outside your hand. Can we ban this!? Wtf is this?! I get it if you want this kind of thing for fun giggles in PvE or something but this has absolutely no right being usable in ranked.
Easiest climb for blue eyes, whatever. Back to rush duels.

I assume Blue-Eyes needs this bonkers skill to compete against modern Yu-Gi-Oh archetypes. They just added Lunalight into the game, and the abundance of special summoning, card searching, and name changing going on in that deck without skills is bananas—and that's not even the game's best deck. Blue-Eyes Dimension happens to be F2P friendly, so we see it more than we'd prefer. That's a problem with the surrounding game's monetization, not the skill.

It is a problem with the skill. BEWD already has the biggest pool of consistent support in this game. It is the most consistently relevant deck this game has ever had. Now it has a skill that can bring it to plat. The fact that it's f2p friendly means there is no reason to participate in other decks. It completely sterilizes the build variety of the entire game when something you can build in a day on a dime that can carry to very high ranks is possible. I have to see this deck quite literally every duel or every other duel to climb ranked. Yes I can build meta, or anti, but it's a problem when there is NO variety because of it's accessibility. THAT is the problem. There are good decks and meta decks people grind and pay for. Then there's blue eyes.

The difference I've enjoyed between this game and a game like master duels is the variety in the climb through ranked. In master duel you earn a bit of resources to get whatever deck you want in the game. If a deck is too accessible... It becomes the norm. That game sees consistently a few viable decks because the meta is so concise and it isn't earned. It's crafted. I'd hate to see this game become that.

rank means literally nothing in this game. In any heavily monetized TCG you should just accept you aren't going to win every game. Just because blue eyes got a busted skill(debateable) doesn't make it good, it instant loses to over a handful of common decks that are also cheap. The only people driving monetization in this game are the people that watch youtube content and must have the newest oppressive deck or streamers or both. The meta in this game literally is crafted, by youtube and the handful of sites that literally optimize every single bit of creativity out of the game which is why it is where it is now which is a dumping ground for every single failed idea out of master duel so I don't know what you're on about

I have more surrenders than wins. Most duelists I face have a convoluted combo which either kills my monsters or removes them, while having a full board state. If I cannot play anything proper by turn 3, I leave, requeue and find a lobby that works. 18 wins and 30 something abandons. Even in rookie I get 3 turn decimated, so what is the point?

Point is that you can't know for sure if opponent have anything either.

The effects of coming into a game late, and having limited resources. I don't have the time to waste. Auto-duel on NPC can be done in 30 seconds. Online, people can take a minute to draw a card, then another 2 minutes to do some clap combo. By time I draw I just leave. Flaw in the matchmaking, but I don't care enough to gain insight. Just find the couple I can whip. Give em a thumbs. Otherwise, GG I leave.

Even If you start first, can't play anything so you skip, opponent won't play anything either. Comes third Turn, you still can't play a thing and you just give him victory?

I feel it took all your brain cells to create a mindless situation. I won't pretend to argue such a moronic practice.

These kind of situation happens lot more than you think. You clearly said you give up after third round if you can't play anything, that also counts even if opponent doesn't play anything.

It also helps to build a deck that can work no matter situation, not just waiting that one perfect hand.

The game isn't even worth playing anymore, It's nothing but constant BEWB and Dark Magician decks. Unless you specifically build your deck around defeating these two and the RNG is in love with you, You'll get floored in 1 turn.

The thing that makes these decks so obnoxious are the cheats- I mean "skills" that buff them. Blue eyes getting to pull a fusion card out of their rear ends or getting to swap out cards on the whim, Yugi getting to summon dark magician without a sacrifice and every DM deck seems to have the circle card automatically in their hand so once DM comes out they get to destroy whatever you put on the field first. (Or the ole classic circle + magician gateway just waiting for you to spawn a monster)

Really wish they'd make a game mode where skills were banned. The meta would shift drastically. Until they do this game is garbage.
