When did you grow out of Yugioh?

When it became shit, aka Synchro/XYZ

When I started losing too much. Same reason I stopped playing Magic.

Yugioh's answer to keeping a player base is a major case of power creep. Shit from ten years ago doesn't hold a candle to today's game and is in no way viable.

>>116534888
Yeah man.
Special summoning 5 monsters on the field in 1 turn is absolutely A-OK.
Not unbalanced at all when you can wipe your opponent it a turn or two.

Around Ancient Sanctuary/Soul of the Duelist. Those sets were so shit.

Then Avacyn seduced me into MTG.

Treated that card like shit too, what a wasre.

>>116534948
Yeah, because wiping out your opponent before they even had a turn was soooo much better, because it was back then.

In middle school when some faggot stole my cards. I was so heartbroken I didn't feel like buying new cards to rebuild my deck. I played from Metal Raiders to Pharaoh's Servant and had a deck stacked with all those ridiculously broken cards before they got banned from tournaments.

>>116534700

>>116534700

>>116534700
I didn't. Hang out with some buddies of mine to practice for regionals every Saturday I have off work. Of course, we also play vidya if we bring 'em.

When I realized I was playing the game wrong with my brother the whole time.

won 2000$ in a tournament and realized I was a faggot. so I stopped playing yu-gi-oh and played Hearthstone.

That's completely wrong though. There's plenty of old shit that just shits on the game and breaks it, it's just banned.

I still play, it's fun.

>>116534748
Pretty much this. Though everyone was quitting around the time the Chaos Dragon and Blackluster got banned along with all the other staples at the time.

>>116536049
They were banned back then too.

BLS and Raigeki are back, bitches.

After all the cards have like 3 effects and people could bullshit summon like 3 things on their first turn using spells cards and bullshit like that.

>>116536416
Nah.
I just hate that you can summon 1 monster and them special summon/Synchro/XYZ 5 monsters with 4k attack and retarded effects IN 1 TURN.

XYZ. I tolerated and eventually adapted to synchro, but when XYZ came out it became very clear that they're just going to keep on adding gimmicky new card types forever.

Probably around IOC actually. I remember pulling Chaos Emperor Dragon on my very first pack. I was a faggot back then so I was like meh, then I read the effect and even my 12 year old self could see how absolutely broken this card is. The effect is just insane, I dominated all my friends with it to the point where we just banned it completely when we played. Then I got Black Luster Soldier and I raped with it as well. My deck back then had so many cheap and broken cards, goddamn Yugioh was a fucking mess.

You just couldn't stop such a broken set of cards unless you were really fucking prepared and we were casual players so my friends while they had decent decks, especially for the time. My friends knew how to play and didn't just use shitty starter decks, they weren't really ready for that shit. I lost interest around then, friends moved on so I didn't play as much so I just quit.

I eventually gave my old cards to my nephew and he shit his pants from all the 1st edition old cards from back then. He cherishes the fuck out those cards.

>>116534888
XYZ are..............

>>116536457
You actually can't, but keep on talking.

I'm glad all you faggots stopped playing. Less whiny kids.

Nobody does that and if they do their hand is spent. You pretty much described Cyber Dragon when it was a thing though.

>>116536416
>>116536432
Why not just make it an entirely new game at that point? People already invested a shit lot of time and money designing and building different decks. The meta became so different from what it once was a shit load of people quit and moved to magic because they didn't want to redo everything.

>>116536416
More like I wasn't going to shell out another couple hundred dollars to make a viable deck again. Banning a few cards was whatever, but then it completely changed the game. All those expensive cards became worthless and I was not about to spend more money on a game I no longer enjoyed or have value in.

I never really quit per say, I just don't really anymore or anything but I still have interest in it. I still buy some cards that catch my fancy for the old collection. Usually I recognized them from the original show or GX.

>>116536614

What can I say? I love ritual summoning a 3200 atk beatstick draw engine four times in a turn. Their new cousins (Necloths) in the next set are gonna be broken.

Mid-GX probably? As the game progressed further old basic cards became pretty useless. I mean does anyone ever run Normal or Ritual monsters anymore? Ritual monsters were never that good though except like 1 or 2 from my memory. GX went nuts with the fusions though, fucking dozens of fusions. I never really was into fusions. I like the old simple sets better, they definitely had their problems, I mean Pot of Greed and Monster Reborn by themselves are broken as hell but with some rules it was a damn fun time.

>>116536838
I'll post it once I get back to my apartment.

Blue eyes rulers were a thing in tcg for a very short time.

>>116536996
So since the beginning of time?

>>116535085
>>116535636
The difference is that shit used to get banned.

Now shit that's even faster more broken is the norm, and the old banned shit is still banned. Sure, you still might not be able to do anything against an Envoy of the End into Yata-Garasu unless you instantly nuke the Envoy on summon, but pulling that off is slower than Synchro or XYZ solitaire.

>>116536996
So last year when Dragon Rulers stopped being good?

>>116536996
So never? Blue-eyes was never good.

>>116537026
It had a couple of TCG regional tops, that's fucking nothing. When it starts doing good and dominating the meta then get back to me.

>>116536860
Normal Monsters were already falling out of use before GX. Normal Pendulums are some fun.

Necloth is destroying the OCG.

>>116537032
It used the blue eyes engine for drawing and searching, but the dragon itself never really did shit. It was very short lived though and a pretty hectic time for the meta, since nothing seemed to be cemented in place as really good after Rulers.

>>116536860
Normal Monsters as a concept was flawed. Why would I take a monster that does nothing or a card that has a kickass effect?

>>116537066
Normal pendulum are awesome, as long as they keep getting easily tutorable scales that are decently sized the decks gonna be at least solid. Abusing Heat Wave is fun too.

>>116537054
I was referring to the Necloths you ignorant fuckwad. Your dumb ass redundantly tried to bring them up as superior to Gishki when I did so already. Nice job.

>>116535636
Not that guy but the only time I recall that happening during those times was the Mad Scientist deck, other than that I don't really remember that happening with anything else.

>>116537093
I liked that period. A lot of stuff was viable at that time.

I was probably 17-18ish and I was browsing traditional games on wikipedia, and noticed that each game had an "element of chance" factor in each wiki entry.

>>116537146
I hated that period. Garbage like Bujins even got considered viable. It all ultimately lead to HAT which was just an abomination of a deck.

>>116537160
It's fun to play that sometime and see if you can beat your opponent to death. Too bad it'll never get a chance to be in any way viable.

After I used six samurais.

After the original show ended. My biggest accomplishment was taking part in a local tournament at a game shop near my house in 2002 I think. The latest set at the same was PSV if I remember correctly. It was like 32 people and we grand prize was 1 sealed 1st edition box of LOB/MRD/MRL and $50 credit to the store. It was mostly kids and a few adults, I managed to win thanks to Jinzo and some other good cards. I remember winning with the last match with Dark Magician actually, the only time he's ever gotten me a win. I felt like fucking Yugi at the time, it was cool.

I still keep my original Dark Magician just for memories sake, it's banged up though do to so much play.

>>116537338
Nope, the only one that got an Emergency ban in the middle of the season was the Ohm OTK because it had something like a 80% win rate

When they started banning cards and then coming out with newer, slightly nerfed versions of the same shit.

I think I was only 13, but even then I knew that was too much kikery.

Once GX was a few seasons in, I think. I still keep around a super-casual Elemental Hero deck I put together though, all the Fusion Monsters were really appealing at the time.

Every year or so I get a big nostalgia kick and look through my old cards, even buy a couple here and there for the unused deck, some of the newer Heroes are pretty impressive.

Nothing against the newer cards personally, but I've been away from the game for so long that everything seems so complicated now. And colorful. Nice to still see the series doing well though.

They also don't know you can play MST from your hand on your turn

First time? Had to stop because college. This was about a little before Chaos showed up.

Second time (I think) is when Dragon Rulers were out and running. The game essentially boiling down to who can vomit their deck out better/more reliably was a turn off. Also funds and just lost interest in general.

Never had a problem with Synchro's and XYZ's. They were simple mechanics that added to the game. Pendulum on the other hand im totally confused on what it's supposed to accomplish.

Though I sorta kept coming back once in awhile due to pic related because of lol waifufag loyalty, really the only reason I keep up with a general idea on whats going on. I know konami will never make her good, and I don't care. Will still use for fun, which is the main idea anyways.

It's complicated but basically a rot of traps are really broken but their power is mitigated by the fact that traps are slow and you need to wait a turn to activate them. Makyura removes that weaknesses

When I dropped it, XYZ still consisted of just X, Y, and Z. I had six of those booster-bundle tins stuffed full of loose cards, a binder full of trading fodder, and three proper decks. Then hurricane Isabel dropped a tree in my bedroom and about three-quarters of them were ruined by rain. I pretty much just gave up buying more and just played with friends for as long as my leftovers were slightly competitive.

A couple years before XYZ

The concept is bad because people will only play the very best 8 start synchro etc due to limited space and ease of summoning
Fun but flawed

Also shit just kept getting more and more expensive and fast paced

>>116538176
>>116538024
Synchro is actually a lot more suitable for Pendulums than Xyz. Fusion is too, technically.

The thing is, Xyz still sends your Pendulums to the graveyard, while Synchri/Fusion sends them to the extra deck so that you can easily recover them.

It's only a matter of time before a Tuner Pendulum is made.

>>116544786
Me and my friend a starter deck each and decided to try out a regional tournament just for the heck of it.
By simply understanding the rules and basic game theory, we were able to consistently get into the top 8 every time. Which qualified us for prices.

We kept playing for years. The prices from the tournaments really made the game quite affordable really.

But then I was hospitalized because of health reasons. And while I was hospitalized synchros were released. By the time I got back to the game I wasn't able to afford an extra deck because I had missed all the packs&tourneys providing the desired cards. And without them I could no longer consistently get into the top 8 for prices.

My friend continued to play for a couple of years longer and did consistently get into the top 8 like before. But then he had to take a break from it because of college/housing/money reasons. By the time he got back to it his extra deck wasn't viable anymore and he couldn't afford to get a new one.
And xyz, like when synchro first came along, didn't make things any easier.

Ironically, the start of the xyz train was a better starting point for me than the middle of the synchro train, considering how missed the start of that train. But by then I had decided to give up on the game due to it being expensive.
The tournament prices really made the game a lot cheaper. Considerably so. But it still costed money and if you can't consistently get the prices then the game is simply ridiculously expensive.

How do you make DM good again?
