Has any game suffered from power creep harder than YuGiOh? For

Aren't the most broken cards in core?

>>54673892
Numerically, yeah. In terms of special effects? No.

>>54673892
Yata lock was one of the first decks in the game and is arguably still one of the strongest considering it was basically unstoppable.

>>54673892
YGO is the worst because Konami does not seem interested in trying to keep the game alive.

Other card games try to control the pace at which creep happens. Konami seems to just be trying to milk the game for everything they can. I wonder when they'll quit supporting it.

Most broken individual cards (Pot of Greed, Harpie's Feather Duster) are at the core yeah, but later on it got to the point where entire decks were "broken" compared to other decks.
A deck that was made with cards from up to Invasion of Chaos stands no chance against an XYZ deck.

This. Konami knows of the creep and actively encourages it. I know that buying trading cards is literally gambling, but Konami doesn't want people to be able to play whatsoever unless they have the latest cards. How often do you see a tournament deck based around cards that weren't released in the last two years?
Konami broke Yu-Gi-Oh and they like it that way. They're never going to do what Pokemon did with an "old cards only" version of the game because they won't be able to sell the old cards since everyone has them.
What I think is the best solution is to essentially have a split after Light of Destruction and make new cards that abide by the traditions established up to that point, but also host tournaments with the crazy new and annoying rules.

>all links, pendulums, and XYZs banned.

I think Scrap Iron Scarecrow should be limited but I find it funny how much you hold a grudge against it

>>54674863
>2000 lp
>destroying monsters doesn't damage your opponent
There.

>>54675064
I shit you not but a vast majority of duels would end in drawing out.

Back in my day we used to play vanilla creatures equipped with an Axe of Despair and that was good enough sometimes.

There's also the fact that konami requires by rule that whatever deck wins worlds is required to have at least one card banned.

You do realize that once it's Set back face-down you have to wait until the next turn to use it, right?

>>54675252
I was talking about the 2000lp and no monster damage. You would either get locked in or burn your oppent out quick.

>>54675494
But now i think about it im wrong. Duels would end far to quick be it by burn or just one of the many quick ways to clear the field and special summon a monster that could end the game in one hit. Wouldn't even need xyz or synchro to do it.
