Yu-Gi-Oh General Thread

Did i say Dragon Rulers was the best deck?NO. I dropped the game during that format,but returned during HAT format. Dropped again during Nekroz was released. I havent touched the game since,but from the footage i see. The game is even more degenerate now. Btw,that Corey Mcduffie due passed away. RIP.

HOLY SHIT EXODIA WON SOMETHING!
Yup, now try and figure out how it works and see if it's the game being degenerate or simply a higher skill level now than previously

Yeah it was an OD I think :(

And yeah i won't deny there's some degeneracy. I don't like Kashtira or Eldlich strats but most other strats nowadays are far more skill intensive. The closest thing to formulaic non-think decks I can think of is earth-machine and that's done nothing for like 2 years.

The game has always had some degenerate strategies (but again, name one TCG which hasn't). We had clown control. Then Chaos. Then Chaos emperor. Then we had Yata locks. That's in one year. All winning YCS/Worlds and nationals, all degenerate bullshit. In the early GX era.

love how my public thread had the second comment complain about modern yugioh


not prompted by me or anything but guess it's just a me issue
Never said it's a you issue, just that I think your complaints are misplaced and would most definitely be less significant if you actually gave the modern game some time and energy to learn; as with any game (THIS is the you-issue). It is far from what you have been saying it is.

I'm nostalgic of trap heavy decks. Activate necrovalley,set spy and set traps was my thing back in the day.
You'd love Labrynth and Dinomorphia decks - go look at the cards and watch how they play - maybe even some deck breakdowns. I love Dinomorphia it's very unique. You halve your lifepoints every time you do anything but the less LP you have the stronger you are (and obviously the more at risk you are). Dinosaur/Power Rangers themed Fusion/Trap deck. It's fucking cool and only 1 card in the deck is even slightly expensive.

It's never won top tournaments but has consistently had 1 or 2 in the top 32s at regionals and nationals.

I will take your word for it. I don't have time to learn ygo all over again. Its a different game now. I don't even know how link summon works.

Eh, just watch this video and you'll see what I mean.

There's 2 newer cards not in the video for the deck
https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dinomorphia_Intact
https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dinomorphia_Rexterm

I think it's very well explained too - not from a perspective of re-learning the game but just to see that this Deck is probably your thing so if you ever do come back to it or are tempted to, it's a good starting point! There's also more tech cards than this guy talks about as Dinos have had some pretty fun cards recently in the Transcendosaurus achetype.

ignoring that the meta strats are not the normal way of playing for classic yugioh


just cause there's no causual scene in modern yugioh does not mean such a thing does not exist for classic yugioh

Every locals is a casual scene for ygo lmao

not really


it's as meta as ycs or worlds



it's pretty much the same decks used


all decks from the newest sets



it's the same style of play
As someone who attends these monthly, again completely wrong. Legit nobody plays anything meta except that one dude. People go to locals to test joke decks and have fun mostly - last month I played a guy who's entire strategy was to give me penis-innuendo named monsters on my board so I couldn't summon my own and then just tell me he 'gave me the D' then scoop. Monsters like Little D, Dig Beak, Raging Earth etc.

You don't know what you're talking about

Locals are usually very casual as you said.Its the championships that are very meta centric.

this guy said locals mostly use meta decks
https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/a3v96b

and sentiment in this thread was the same
https://www.reddit.com/r/Yugioh101/comments/vu413g

''decks can be played for ~$50 without handtraps or otherwise expensive cards, but those decks will be at a massive disadvantage''


locals are about as meta as anything else cause only meta players play yugioh

Big news. We’re finally getting the OCG Terminal World set to the TCG imported in the latest Battle of Legends set!!

https://ygorganization.com/genexinfernoidritualbeastphnimeta/

Any fellow Duel Terminal fans here? This is the set that gave Ice Barrier, Infernoids, Ritual Beast, and Genex of all things a powerup.





Who’s picking up what? Me personally, I can’t wait to pick up the new Ice Barriers.
I love Infernoids bro, love them - they're so cool
First major archetype to turn the graveyard into its engine
