Yu-Gi-Oh! Casual Thread

>>54203725
What I have seen is in casual play most people play 3 copies of any card, and only on copy of really powerful cards like Monster reborn, Call of the hunted, the God cards, and ect.

Hey, welcome back to YGO! It's awesome to see people getting into it
>Is there an agreed ban list for casual players?
Most people I've come across in casual play use the most recent advanced format ban list in the TCG. These ban lists seem to be used universally, so keep that in mind.
>Any good sites to help make deck list like tapped out.com?
There are websites that can be used as deckbuilding tools, if that's what ya mean? Most things should be relatively easy to find with a quick google search.

Thanks for the advice, I found a site called YGOPRODECK, I just like to see all the card images laid out when making a deck list.

As for the ban list I am surprised so many casual players use advanced. Cards like Heavy Storm, Gaint Trunada, and Premature Burial seemed fine at limed to one. But thank you for the advice, I do appreciate it.

I grew up playing yugioh a lot but ive been out of the loop for years. I understand synchros and xyz but how the fuck do pendulums work? I was playing a dude at a con that had a whole deck based around them and I was using a deck i had from like 08 and i just couldnt understand what he was doing. Ive watched videos on it but i still dont fully get it. What are the two numbers and why does it matter where I place them?

Are there any sites for full art of YGO cards like there is for MTG cards?

OP here, honestly I am just avoiding Pendlums all together. I might use an XYZ if it just happens to work well with the deck

>>54206274
Xyz are my favourite addition to the series its so reliable it virtually eliminates the randomness of the game. I have a massive hard on for strongly strategic based card games. My old decks where almost purely fusion based.

>>54203725
Just go full domain monarchs and wreck shit with the most fun deck that doesn't even use an extra deck

>>54203725
yeah, most casual players agree to comp banlists

Every casual player I've played with just uses the official banlist that Konami puts out.

Look at pic related. The numbers indicate what level monsters you can pendulum summon. In the picture the pendulum monsters have a scale of 1 and 8, therefore you can pendulum summon monsters that are between those two numbers. So monsters between the levels of 2 and 7 can be pendulum summoned with these scales. Placement doesn't matter at all. You could have the Scale 8 on the left side and the Scale 1 on the right, but they still function the same, so you can still pendulum summon monsters between those levels.

>remember buying and loving the old starter decks ~2002
>kinda want to buy new ones because my old cards weren't treated well by young self
>look them up on ebay
God damn, they're either in some foreign language or they cost a fortune.

Is pendulum summoning as stupid as it sounds?

>>54209431
No, pendulums are awful.

>>54209431
Yes. They banned Return from a Different Dimension because summoning up to 5 monsters with a cost that can be played any time and a drawback that can easily be negated by Synchro/Xyz summoning was "broken"; yet being able to special summon up to 5 monsters per turn with no cost or drawback whatsoever is a OK.
Let's not even mention how fucking broken pendulums being sent to the Extra Deck instead of the Graveyard is.
YGO is broken beyond repair since the Xyz era.
I would suggest playing it with a free simulator like YGOPro or using proxies, because the game is broken as it is and Konami doesn't deserve more money.

If you think pendulums are broken than you're a retard, anon. Pendulums are easy as hell to shut down. Spell and Trap removal can destroy their scales, so a single Mystical Space Typhoon can ruin their plans. If you pendulum summon and your opponent uses a Solemn Warning then ALL of the monsters that are being summoned have their summon negated. Bottomless Trap Hole will banish everything that's being pendulum summoned. Pic related even annihilates pendulums. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

Same thing applies with Return from the Different Dimension, but it's still banned.
I'm not saying the game is broken thanks to Pendulums (Qlis were a mistake, though); the game is broken because new mechanics make no sense and new archetypes don't have any costs or drawbacks to keep them in check.
I played from 2007 until recently and decided to quit because Zoos, Monarchs and True Dracos are just plain disgusting. Decks that just play themselves with little or no variation.
Last time I saw such a boring and broken format was with TeleDAD and Frog FTK. But even then the decks didn't have 90 % of usage in tournaments and Konami actively tried to balance the game. Nowadays all they do is cripple the most powerful archetypes, while also releasing a new archetype that is equally or more broken to milk players.
