Why we don't like Yu-Gi-Oh.


Recommended Posts

The booster packs rarely have a single good card.

That's true.

Except for the Mega Packs, most of them have crappy rares and other stuff.

 

Hell, it's probably cheaper to buy singles of whatever good card you want. (One of my favorite UR cards [that's actually good] is $1.25/each; cheaper to buy singles of it, rather than buy a whole box and hope I pull one)

The players suck. The game is too expensive. Hard to get into. Powercreep. Konami. Couldn't keep going but won't.

 

 

Too many fans stereotype this game as broken, when CFV is the game where certain oversupported clans (General Practitioners are on of them, I think) can do an insta-kill attack (Over 6 crits) when they reach endgame. Plus Nova Grapplers can clobber you to death and Shadow Paladins are the first clan who could reach 30000 Power without triggers. Before Asia Circuit, which couldn't get past 26000.

 

Oops

Unless you want Odd-Eyes Pendulum. That thing cost a bit.

Also, no online stores for AUS and barely any shops actually DO sell cards. ($40 for shipping from USA. SHIPPING GODDAMNIT!)

Konami sucks

-The anime pushes a pool of cards, while Konami expects players to buy their pool of cards unrelated to the anime.

Billy: I wanna play Flame Wingman like Jaden!

Konami: You'll lose to Dragon Rulers!

Billy: What's a Dragon Ruler?

Konami: ...how about Qliphorts?

Billy: Uhhh...?

-The emphasis on archetypes (f**k you, Zexal) removes the fun of deckbuilding, which is one of the best parts of card games.

-They focus purely on archetypes (and nostalgia, because some reminisce about the days when Yugioh didn't suck,) but won't sell more regularly-released Structure Decks to get players into the new stuff (DDD's, Performapals, etc.,) with the boosters having all the power cards.

-They continue to sell Starter Decks when it's obvious just by looking at the decklists that they don't help new players get into Yugioh the way they should.

-The banlist since Zexal era is used an excuse to print ridiculously powerful cards that enrages the already whiny playerbase, and as a hilariously lazy attempt at a Standard format without being called ripoffs.

 

The players suck

-They shame others for netdecking meta/FTK/anything proven to be objectively good.

-They take a moral high ground and preach creativity, then run an archetype deck, which requires minimal thought to build, and replace the good cards in that archetype with the bad ones.

-They're hypocrites: They hate meta decks, then champion them when the banlist makes them bad. See Blackwings and Six Sams.

-They preach about fun to justify everything they support, including running bad cards over proven good ones.

-They claim any deck that crushes them is "skilless", "mindless", or "auto-pilot."

-They're lazy and self-centered: They want the banlist to center around making their deck good by hitting everything that either their deck has to play around, or outright beats it.

-They want current power cards banned, then call for unbanning of old, far more powerful cards because "they have counters."

-They use terms like "fizzle."

 

Not worth the money

-Meta isn't worth investing hundreds of dollars in because the deck will be dead/ undermeta in a few months.

-Undermeta isn't worth investing in because it autoloses to meta. And, I'm not just going to play against other undermeta players exclusively, because it isn't fun to limit the people I play against.

 

But, should Yu-Gi-Oh! continue to exist?

Yes. It keeps (most of) the idiots out of the good card games.

It depends.

 

For small kids, they like playing Yugi.dek or whatever random stuff they want.

For older players, we go the technical route and play LS, 101/Exciton, Rulers or whatever.

 

I personally have fun with it; although the meta sucks at times. (But some of the good cards have gotten reprints and are cheaper)
