Having played Duel Links lately and being quite impressed, I

Duel links is not what Yugioh meta was at the time, especially not with the deck/slot limits.
Yugioh metagame at the time was cancerous with Yatalock

Yata-lock was a split second in the timeline of the Yugioh meta. It got banned quickly.

>before it jumped the shark

The first two YGO sets had cards like Pot of Greed, Raigeki, Monster Reborn, Change of Heart, Mirror Force, Solemn Judgement and others, cards that were banned through the years and some of them still are, while most are limited nowadays. YGO was born in a shark pool.

The whole problem with Yugioh (and Pokémon) nostalgia fans is that they mix the show and the game as if they were the same thing, providing the same experience. They weren't. Duel Links don't even play as "old yugioh", from the field to the deck limit, it's all restricted.

You guys just want to play the game without knowing the rules, without reading the cards, without learning anything and when you don't want to do all these basic stuff, you blame on how things changed to worse, instead of just recognizing you don't want to put a minimum effort on things you like. This is why the franchises keep getting worse through the years, because they appeal to people that don't care about it.

YGO peaked at synchros, first batch of XYZ were decent fun but then they power creeped the fuck out of everything with every new set.... hmmm doesn't that sound oddly familiar?

I didn't made any nostalgic post for synchros. Why the (you)?
