Ban all top tier decks.

The problem with yugioh is they always make interesting stuff but then they make one card thats too strong for each archetype. Look at this ban list http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/limited/ its mainly one or two cards from different archetypes.

Apart from that let us use ocg cards and let us double sleeve.

Using a specifically constructed stack of cards you already have to do drafts and things like that; I specify because I've been given the impression that sets of Yugioh sealed product is not designed with limited in mind.
>>
>>49677923
they have one good list, what else you want?
>>
>>49677939
oh thats cool. It could work in yugioh, but there's too many archetypes. Thats one thing i like about magic and not yugiuoh, it seems less archetype focused.
>>
>>49677814
Could you explain the thought process behind build a MtG cube? It make help me understand if its possible with Yugioh.
>>
>>49677999
dude just google it, it makes perfect sense.

take a bunch of cards
make a format with them
like booster, take 15 randoms.
>>
>>49678022
Google gave me a bunch of ARG articles, and only scrubs trust ARG.
>>
>>49677999
You basically try and create a specific draft environment. Some people try and make a cube represent booster draft of specific, very fun draft sets. Others make their own, adding synergies and themes.

Kind of a "build your own set" that you draft. You decide what's in there or not. You want tribal themes, you can add them. Then you try and balance it so the draft feels fair
>>
>>49677999
I have to admit, I have only dabbled the smallest bit in building cubes myself. For Magic, I'd ensure the five colors are represented equally, and support a manageable number of draft strategies/mechanical themes to be pursued. For Yugioh I guess the equivalent would be the different summoning gimmicks and a subset of the available archetypes you were talking about.

>TFW I liked the anime more than the game itself
It should have ended with 5Ds.
I actually sort of like XYZ monsters, but Pendulum Summoning is horseshit and should never have been allowed.
The game is so fucking busted the only way I can enjoy it is by watching animu characters play unoptimized, themed decks and make completely impossible draws and strategies until one pulls off a particularly impressive turnabout combo that ends the duel.
Part of my inner autist wants to write fanfiction because, like I said, I liked 5Ds and it ended. It would of course have a terrible plot and a 'shocking' twist, with the final lessons being about the power of friendship and the heart of the cards, but why the fuck not?
Can't be worse than most of the greentexts I've posted on here. Guess I'll just starve the beast until either I stop caring about fake internet points or forget about it like a well-adjusted human being.

Have you heard of a thing called Metalfoes?
>>
>>49678253
>It should have ended with 5Ds
it should have, but xyz are actually pretty decent.
The anime is terrible now. Original is the only good one

Pendulum was only broke with pepes and sort of metalfoes, its a crap mechanic none the less.

>>49678366
>Metalfoes
yeah theyre not normal monsters if theyre pendulum

>>49678325
>>
>>49678383

Normally I would agree with you on that, but I actually managed to enjoy 5Ds more for some reason. Probably muh motorcycles and because Aki's tits are fantastic, I mean goddamn.

>>

>And a large etc

MtG is very archetype focused.
>>
>>49677787
You don't. It's fucking garbage and Magic is superior in every way.
>>
>>49678325
Pendulums get fucked over by Spell removal, they were only broken for a while because of specific cards. It's pretty balanced as a mechanic itself.
>>
>>49678558

Magic is also archetype focused, not exclusively.

Archetypes can be competent at different levels of play in differents environments (legacy got merfolk, goblin adn elves, modern has fringe elves and merfolk, standard varies a lot and had almost anything)

However magic is mainly based around the Aggro/Midrange/Control/Combo, rather than around the Elf/Goblin etc.
>>
>>49677920
Snow Rabbit wouldn'the have stopredicted all of it, it would have shut down his combo recurrance however, obviously veiler wouldn'the have done so much either, unless he hit librarian, as most of the effects going off happened in grave (ancient fairy dragon would have been a decent pick for both too)
>>
>>49678383
>I'very never played Yu-Gi-Oh at a competitive level the post
Normal summoning has never been relevant, in Legend of Blue-Eyes (read as the first set ever) there was enough in terms of special summoning and removal that you wanted to bury Blue-Eyes with Card destruction after setting or hopefully drawing into a Monster Reborn, the normal summons you made were either chaff to defend against a fissure or you set Man-Eater Bug. So please explain to me how normal summoning has ever been relevant at a high tier of play?
>>

So what's the metagame like now? Still vomit out 5 dragons in one turn?

It's pretty balanced till ABC comes out. Then you vomit out robo-dragons.
>>
>>49678325
Damn, you know absolutely nothing about the meta game. I bet you just saw a webm or two and based your opinion on that without actually playing.

Every time.
>>
>>49681771
I'm admit I'm mostly mad because grogarndisms (I bought the original Yugi deck when the show first started winding up in America), but I honestly gave up dedicated play right as XYZs were starting up and deciding I didn't want to spend more money on the game.
My brother was more interested in the game than I was, and tried to pull me back into TCGs once he decided to start back up.
What basically happened was that we played when the first few sets came out, lost a bunch of our cards to a stupid incident involving another one of my brothers, dropped the game for a while as a result, GX happened, my brother got back in the game and got me back in the game, then I quit and he eventually played MTG (which I don't follow). God, my brother must have hundreds of dollars of cards squirreled away somewhere.
I remember pulling Trishula with him back when it was worth $70.
>>
>>49678325
>Nearly Free Special Summons
no its not you have to have scales and the pendulum summon is super weak to summon negation
>You don't even need tributes anymore
not necessarily, qlis need them and theres a good reason to normal summon high levels in pendulum decks
>Monster/Spell Cards? In MY deck?
be if magic did it you'd be thrilled, oh wait they pretty much already did and no one cared
>More combo stacking bullshit, in a game thats always been combo stacking bullshit, its almost like you've never played a game of YGO in you life
>Pendulums don't even die, they go to the extra deck because of fucking course they do
banish, spin, negate a summon, destroy the scales, next set theres even a card to block an opponents scales.
>Normal Monsters are even less relevant
thats not really something pendulum did, but igknight and metalfoes say hello
>Guess who gets to Pendulum Summon, then XYZ Summon, then Normal Summon and then Synchro/Fusion with the leftovers? Fucking everyone, that's who.
nope you have be playing a pendulum deck to pendulum summon.

Thank you for putting in the effort I didnt want to.
>>
>>49681964
Dude, I have never owned a single goddamn Magic deck in my life. Maybe I don't know why Pendulums are somehow a secretly good and balanced deck, but I'm also not willing to humor yet another 'color' of card that only exists as a method of justifying a new anime, shuffling the balance of power, and encouraging people to buy more cards.
Seriously, how much more stuff do they need to stack onto the game before whoever the hell keeps putting out the cards is satisfied with the complexity?
At least with Dungeons and Dragons you can say 'core only' and be set until people want to play the next edition.

Convince Konami to quit with the machine-gun card releases

>Do we actually test this card? You know what, why don't we just release it and if people find it broken, we'll ban it, that way, we get their money and they get a useless card!

That plus, the game just plays fucking awfully, I mean, I gave up when I realized that the game had evolved to the point where you could look at the opening hands of both players and then, 90% of the time, correctly guess who will win.
>>
>>49682058
I just gotta ask mate, why are you here? like, in a yugioh thread? games that go on and on get complex, and to keep people interested, always add new mechanics and change things up.

How long would 40k last if they never released new units and codexes?X-wing LIVES off of its new waves and even they are starting to get a little weird with the new mechanics they are adding to the game. Magic too, though they avoid adding new classes of cards to the game.

You shouldn't have brought Dnd into the mix. you say core only, i say LOB only. really, the two games are just as complex, and convoluted.

Mate, i get you dont like yugioh, and thats fine, but why put in the effort and shit post like this? Only like TTRPGs? go play them.

People say this a lot and it baffles me. Isn't /tg/ one of the more reading-heavy hobbies?

Like, playing a TTRPG requires reading about character creation, abilities, worlds, etc. A lot of the stuff /tg/ likes has mainly been published in text.

Is it because it's on a card that it's not okay?
>>
>>49682159
the problem is that the text on yu-gi-oh cards is a) tiny and b) inefficient as fuck
yugioh takes 50 words to say what magic can do in 4
>>
>>49681808
The only reason that I complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! isn't like Magic is because Wizards actually fucking test their cards. Konami can't be fucked and instead treat their players like shit, forcing their players to waste huge amounts of money on cards that they will ban after the first tournament, forcing them to pay even more money.

That's just a fucking dick business strategy.
>>
>>49682142

It's not that big an issue since you can memorize what the cards do after a few games, but yeah they definitely could cut out a lot more text.

pendulum summon is a all or nothing swarm mechanic with a number of weaknesses

>a pendulum summon is a single mass summon a negation will get everything summoned in it.
>pendulum monsters used as xyz material go to graveyard after detached
>pendulum monster used from the hand for fusion or tribute go to the graveyard
>the only way they make it to the extra deck for resummon is to get on the field/pendulum scale successfully be destroyed/send for tribute, synchro, or fusion material and then they have to not get negated when being resummoned

It's like 3.X bloat, and I'm not willing to deal with it for the same reasons.

I'm going to preface this post by saying that I like yugioh and still play it.

Yugioh is fun but it's terribly designed. It always has been. Konami is just bad at card games. The anime is fun but literally every series, including the original, have problems, especially where writers other than Takahashi are concerned.

That's what happens when a franchise is turned into a commercial

synchros are the most degenerate mechanic in the game.

pendulums are actually incredibly balanced, being easy to slow down and stop and having all sorts of weaknesses. even Xyz are limited by having Xyz materials, while synchros can potentially trigger infinitely--see every loop video/tierra/sophia combo ever

you don't need to use synchros/xyz/pend to win. hell, soon as they come out, ABCs are going to dominate and they're a fusion deck.

2 Level 6 Spellcaster-Type monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and banish 1 card from your hand, then activate 1 of these effects.
● Target 1 monster your opponent controls; take control of it until the End Phase.
● Target 1 monster in your opponent's Graveyard; Special Summon it to your field.

Reminder that Yugioh has better waifus than MtG
>>
Alright, so I see you all crying out about how the metagame is totally balanced and such.

So how do I play with my old cards? I'm not an MTG fag, I played Yu-Gi-Oh! right up until the new Archfiends came out and I realised how utterly unfriendly the game was to backwards compatibility.

While I've played a limited amount of MTG, I do know there are ways to include nostalgic sets of cards in a limited format and that it's rather popular. So is there something like that for Yu-Gi-Oh! that will allow me to play the cards I like playing with?
>>
>>49685850
Nope. Because old cards were unplayable even in their time.
>>
>>49685850
The reason I ask this is because while MTG has at least a fairly flat board of cards that work and cards that don't across the ages with slight power creep here and there and outliers in sets, Yu-Gi-Oh! is completely unfriendly to archetypes that existed not even one generation before.

I say this because in MTG you at least have a situation where most cards aren't part of a large scale group of cards that work well exclusively together(barring tribal I assume) and so can work in places like cubes or even as reprints years later. Yu-Gi-Oh! on the other hand only ever reprints broken cards and is totally archetype reliant and so when one or two essential cards die, the whole lot die. See those elemental dragon fuckers from about two years ago or so.
>>
>>49685850
Generation Duels
>>
>>49685850
>>49685938
Yugioh has terrible format support for events. It's either Advanced format with the current banlist or very rarely gimmick formats with rotating rules, neither of which are good for old cards

Your best bet is to find somebody to play super casually with

>>49685957
Generation Duels don't happen often enough and are still shitty for somebody with cards up Dark Crisis
>>
>>49685957
Monster/Effect ALL OTHER EFFECT MONSTERS Forbidden
Monster/Fusion ALL FUSION MONSTERS Forbidden
Monster/Pendulum ALL PENDULUM MONSTERS Forbidden
Monster/Ritual ALL RITUAL MONSTERS Forbidden
Monster/Synchro ALL SYNCHRO MONSTERS Forbidden

I forgot to cut this one off at the pass. I'm interested in playing in a format where older archetypes like Archfiends are playable in a limited playspace, not where all the cards that made them unplayable by comparison are legal and everything else isn't.
>>
>>49685995
>I'm interested in playing in a format where older archetypes like Archfiends are playable in a limited playspace
There isn't one
>>
>>49685995
>>49686022
Even if there was, Chess Archfiends are unplayable.
>>
>>49686035
That, too
>>
>>49686022
Pretty sure throwing them in places where the format is controlled would work. Again, like an MTG cube. Homelands might be the most garbage set ever but you can still use cards from it in a cube(not sure why you'd harm yourself like that, but still).

Then again, this is the game that releases cards completely reliant on cards that were released years earlier with no easy way to get said cards.

See: Exodia Necross, Dark Paladin(Buster Blader was impossible to get at the time) and many, many more. The design philosophy for the game just wasn't as consistent.
>>
>>49677787

What is the point of a 1 star weak card ?

You can only summon one card per-turn so why summon something so fucking weak ?
>>
>>49686106
Honestly, Konami has gotten better at making playable archetypes. I'm sure all the archetypes from Arc-V are playable. Even Digital Bugs and Aromages. Plus, they been giving older cards good support.

>>
>>49686454
When I still played, my favourite current deck was a combo deck involving spell counters, Endymion and the Spellbook cards. Not so much prophecy, as they didn't really help the spell loop engine I was running. For once it felt like spell counters could work. Then they didn't.

The other deck I loved to bits was my Steelswarm deck. No it wasn't terribly good for very long, but it was amazingly fun and even won games against high tier decks for a while.

The Archfiend deck I ran wasn't really a completed deck, as it was too slow to compete. Not really any synergistic search cards for them.

Apart from that, there was a weird gadget build I went to nationals with way back when and placed second in(it was juniors so all 10-13 year olds but hey, it's a personal best). It probably wasn't very good either but when playing against seniors I did okay, though back then I saw them like gods rather than teens that just knew how to math better than me.
>>
>>49686579
konami actually recently released a bunch of spell counter support via pendulum cards.

>>
>>49688059
it's called 'dark magic circle' on pro.


duality is okay in certain decks, but when you already have search power and you NEED your special summons, it loses its usability a LOT

if you want quick draws, try upstart goblin.

rare fish is to summon bahamut shark, which summons treatoad, which is a really good card.
>>
>>49688059
Rarefish is used because you don't want to waste Norden if you already a Level 4 on the field. Choco is a Level 4 and Water, so she can be used to summon Bahamut Shark. Bahamut Shark can summon Treatoad from your Extra deck. Treatoad negates anything and can recycle itself.

So Treatoad is amazing good call! I have kind of a dumb question so the Magician Girls chain off of each other if X is attacked search for a Magician Girl but it doesn't seem like Dark Magician Girl gets a boost from herself from being in the graveyard is this because she isn't considered a "Dark Magician"?
>>
>>49677940
Theres a few ways to spice up skull servants. Shiranui cards work well with them, and the new skull servant cards will be a good addition.
>>
>>49688495
"Dark Magician" specifies Dark Magician, the monster. If DMG said "Dark Magician" monsters, she'd gain ATK for every monster with Dark Magician in its name.

I see a lot of people complain that yugioh is too fast. What they fail to understand is, from a spectative frame of reference, as the speed increases and approaches the speed of light, time dilation will cause the game to appear to move slower, while from the player's perspective the world will age faster. Thus the spectators, in reality, will eventually get their slower paced game as the game becomes faster and faster, while the players gain the ability to time travel

join if you want, though I'm still a little tipsy, since I went out for oktoberfest and I might not be up much longer.

Alright. Going to use the same deck again, because I have nothing else right now. Have like 10 decks that aren't finished for whatever reason.

I'm going to make a thread tomorrow

Thanks.

>You mean with bots?

Yeah, or something like the test mode in Cardfight Area. I'd like to get familiar with game flow and my deck first, don't want to irritate someone on WEBXOSS.
>>
gg dude
>>
>>49691547
If the anon really does make the thread tomorrow then I'll work you through the basics of the game and all that, I need to relearn it properly myself anyways.

I'd say I'd do it tonight, but it's 2am and I'd need to actually throw a deck together and it's too fucking late for that.

Rework the game from the ground up, don't let it power creep to the butt fuckingly stupid degree it has. This would, hopefully, result in a more balanced game where at least I could play cards/decks I like and still be either somewhat competitive, or at least still able to have fun.

Rest in peace my beloved Yubel.
>>
>>49692476
Yubel was never competitive.
>>
>>49692476
I never said it was, I said I would like to be able to play things I like competitively.
>>
>>49692513
Yeah, okay. But Yubel was never, and could never be, competitive. You want some fantasy format, clearly, because even if the Yubel series went toe-to-toe with the earliest meta deck it'd get BTFO.

what the fuck kind of collectable TCG do you play where literally every card ever, even the awful collector cards, has its place in the competitive scene?
>>
>>49677787
honestly I dont think the game would be that bad if komoney didnt rig the banned list specifically so that the newest sets are the only thing thats competitive. It would also be nice if they didnt fuck around and rarity bump stupid shit for the TCG. Honestly the problem is with konami, not so much the game itself. If anything is actually able to compete with the new stuff it get banned/restricted/limited. Unless you ware a TCG specific archetype.I have no fucking clue how BA has been around this long. (although it can be 2fast2ferious broken as fuck sometimes.)

guys, just dont post yugioh on /tg/
go to /a/ were magicfags will actually let a thread about a card game they dont like exist, ya know like adults.
>>
>>49697751
Cyber Angel and Espirit are pretty cool. No where near Nekroz in power, but both are playable. Gishki is usable because of Treatoad and Ritual Sanctuary.
>>
>>49697767
Yes, come to /a/'s Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V threads! We welcome you, and hope to see you soon!
>>
>>49697715
A mostly a speed thing, games of magic are much more controlled in their speed since it's a game with actual resources while yugioh's only real limits are card effects and your one normal summon per turn, which gives it its own flavour that appeals to some people more than others.

>>49691534
Any idea when you'll be making that thread if you really plan to?

I'd make one myself but I'd much rather have someone that actually knows shit about the game around when it's made because all I know is how to netdeck bad decks for the game and not much beyond that.

I just want the next show to be based on Rituals. It can be only 2 years long, but we really need a Ritual era in this game. Those cards have so much potential once you unbrick their mechanic by allowing Ritual Spells which summon from Deck and shuffling of Ritual Monsters in exchange for such Ritual Spells
>>
>>49697828
Ritual era? But we already had Nekroz
>>
>>49697841
No.. one good archetype doesn't make up for the mechanic as a whole. There needs to be a shift in the whole mechanic with more good archetypes. Ritual needs to be as good as Fusion at least.
>>
>>49697828
Anon, we've already suffered through Nekroz Era, and Cyber Herald is a special kind of hell to play against. Even as a fan of rituals I'm perfectly fine with there never being a ritual era because when Konami makes them well they're hell.

But I do. Reshef of Destruction and the Sacred Cards.

>>49682075
Contact fusion was fine because it only applied to three archetypes that I remember that were built around it, and then they dropped it until we needed to make Fusion summoning able to keep up with all the other special summons.

Synchro was pushing it but at least it had the simple "2+ for 1" formula that goes back to Tribute summoning, but the downside to it was that to make it "viable" a bunch of special summon spam cards were made.

Xyz are only worse because of said special summon spam, as well as the Rank Up cards that effectively ignore the Xyz "rules".

Pendulum is a "2+ for 1-5" upset and is only balanced by the sheer amount of removal that's been printed in the game that casuals don't know about because the anime shows next to none of it.
>>
>>49678253
By all means, write some fanfic. Yugioh is one of those games that's awesome to see play out in a scripted show duel, but extremely boring to see people play in real life. I'd give it a read.

>Nearly Free Special Summons
Once per turn & easily counterable. I remember laughing many times when the opponent triggered my bottomless.
>You don't even need tributes anymore
Depending on the card. Most scales above 8 have some condition that says "Can only Pendelum *insert archetype", this effect can't be negated"
>Monster/Spell Cards? In MY deck?
In a card game with MST & Twin Twister, that isn't so hard to eal with
>Pendulums don't even die, they go to the extra deck because of fucking course they do
Sounds to me like you need to git gud.

>yeah theyre not normal monsters if theyre pendulum
Pendulum Monsters have a regular effect & Pendulum effect, When you set them as scales, then you're using the Pendulum effect, if there is one, & they're basically Continuous Spell Cards who go to the Extra deck when destroyed. Otherwise, they use the Monster effect. The Monster effect is just like any other monster. See pic related. No Monster effect, has flavor text & it has a Pendulum effect.
>>
>>49699296
>>49699344

don't bother trying. people like him don't like logic, they just like looking at the premise of a card and whine about how OP they are.
>>
>>49699356
That's the problem. Much of Pendulums sound overpowered on paper & some archetypes can be very strong but it has many downsides in practice. There are so many ways a Pendulum deck can be screwed mid-game & many of those archetypes are strong not because of the pendulum summon mechanic but rather how they take advantage of it. No one ever told me that the Nekroz was overpowered because of Ritual Summoning, they told me because of their effects & combos.
>>
>>49699500
yup, but no matter how often you tell them pendulums suck, they'll continue to whine about how they made old decks worthless, when pendulum has done nothing but support old deck types.
>>
My thoughts would be have everybody pool all their old cards togeather and BS your way through a tabletop of that vidya universe they played in that one time in the anime, using the cars and a rule of cool with any info on them and how their effects and attacks and stuff would work in that game
