I see what you're going for but there's another format called Rush Duel based on the Yu-Gi-Oh SEVENS anime but it's Japan exclusive but you can still play officialy by playing Duel Links (you need to unlock SEVENS world tho)
@@Mr.IDK07 Rush Duels is to Yugioh what Duel Masters is to Magic the Gathering Its an entirely different game with its own card pool. Thats not the same as an alternative format.
@@Mr.IDK07They should bring Rush duels to the west. But konami of america thinks all we need here is duel monsters nostalgia. Their biggest recent announcement was the unplayable, overpriced steel egyptian god cards.
I’m a huge fan of Yugioh, but unlike most of the audience I’m on the younger side. You don’t usually get younger people or newer people into the game so seeing you get back into the game especially through something like Edison is really cool!
Hey Macro! Thanks for the Shout-out! I didn't even realize how much content was used here from my channel and I'm glad to see more interest in Edison Format since my return back in Sept 2022. I used to play in this era heavily and a majority of the meta cards I see in that timeframe are still muscle memory. Practically nothing surprised me back then and I'm in love with the fact that I seldomly have to read cards or change my mindset in how classic Yu-Gi-Oh ran. Anyhow, thanks for the video and welcome to Edison Format!
I used to be a competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! player that dropped off shortly after link monsters were introduced. My reason for leaving were the same as yours, whilst my love for the game hasn’t rekindled, I’m glad that yours have and found it interesting you also played. On the other hand, not too long ago I got into the commander format in Magic the Gathering, it’s so fun and casual. As a Yu-Gi-Oh! Player back then I saw Magic as an older guys game but now I wish I had played it sooner.
It is. And you are just to bad. Had once a bet with a guy who hated yugioh and told me to play magic after some research I was attending to a tournament the bet was that I should make one of the three first Places. I ended winning the tournament with just one loss. If you are good enough and dedicated enough in yugioh MTG is just a joke for you.
One of the best videos on Edison Format I have ever seen!!

modern is basically a fighting game where both players don't know what moves the other person has it is stupidly exhausting to play and very hard especially for newer players but it feels hella rewarding if you master it personally for me when my friend introduced me to this game
Kinda, the learning curve for Yu-Gi-Oh is steep but there is a certain plateau most people are in. Usually there's not a lot of decks being played so you most likely know what your opponent is playing. From there you have a few questions, does my deck have any response to [X]? Does [X] have a response for my deck? What are the odds of me or my opponent bricking? And, "What responses CAN I play through?" Though the skill ceiling for some decks can truly be incredibly insane!
Honestly the retro formats is the best way to get people into the game in a more simple way than modern format. I do like the current format but... I can't deny how much fun the older ones are when I get burnt out on the modern format
I think this is a great way to say it. While I prefer newer formats a million times over old ones I can understand why it would be overwhelming to some people.
EXACTLY! If we had these formats being officially supported, a lot of the issues with the game today would likely be solved and make a lot of older players happy@@lordgrub12345

The reason why I don’t really play old formats is because the Red-Eyes support that could actually do anything was released during the pendulum era. Same for the Dragon Lords (an interesting deck that uses Paladin/Guardian of Felgrand and Ruins of the Divine Dragon Lords to summon level 7 and 8 dragons, especially Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand and Arkbrave Dragon, to banish your opponent’s cards and turn these dragons into beat sticks).
yo know why i love edison too ? because old DS gamea are basically just edison, right before or right after, meaning that you can totally play through the story of 5ds using edison cards and familiarize yourself with that and rulings there. been playing the wc 2009 and 2010 games recently, lots of fun
@@lordgrub12345he is right ygo is better pokemon is more fun (at least early on "im playing the gbc game currently) and i say that as a ygo oriented person
Master Duel not having retro formats kills it. It is way more friendlier to explore old formats first and then try new ones with time rather than being plunged right into a modern and competitive ladder.
I love playing this format its so fun i also play alot of the 5ds tag force games which are VERY fun to play as the decks are really cool to build and also the anime as well
Nice to see retro formats get more love and hopefully more support soon, even though I stick to modern stuff. There are just modern strategies like VS and branded that I love enough to deal with more annoying stuff like labrynth
I mostly play MD and I'm a mid tier duelist at best. That's just the deck I run into the most and the searchable, recurrable floodgates annoy me. That and numeron, a deck that never got a win that it deserved
@@FaolanKitekaze I get that but are we gonna pretend branded doesn't have its own searchable floodgate with the whole santcifier puppet lock shenanigans? Because blaming lab for D Barrier and virus cards is basically the same as calling branded a floodgate deck (which its NOT but you can see where it comes from)
It's probably my bias cuz I like branded and don't play the puppet lock, but yes that and the calamity lock that other decks play is unfun especially in a best of 1 format
@@FaolanKitekaze Ay man I hear ya. Branded is really fun and especially after the release of quem and other new support that the deck is pretty decent despite the unfair hit to branded fusion. I just play lab as well so I know it ain't as toxic some people say it is and its more of an unfortunate side effect that just like branded and puppet lock, the deck gets a bad name due to D barrier and virus cards.
Personally i like modern more, just because i started playing when the albaz structure deck came out and if you have a friend you could also pivot to just playing constructed, which gives off the pacing of older formats while also having stronger cards or at least functioning archetype decks seen in newer decks
I like you've discovered Time Wizard but after a year or so you'll realize it's not very diverse or balanced. Top decks after a year of being popularized has moved to; Blackwing, Vayu, Frog, Hero on top of mega sacky cards like Royal Oppression, Brain Control, Cold Wave, Future Fusion, Icarus Attack among other are All too strong and super sacky. All other decks are less good. Sure you can win with other strategies but most of the time it's because you've top decked one ofs or made CAIUS. Modern yugioh you can do the same and still top with rogue or tier 2 strategies
I know a lot of people don’t like yugiohs modern style but that personally why I like it the only real downsides for me is prices and tbh older formats are to slow
I legit want to play again this year the Time Wizard Formats! I have that adult money where i can make any deck i want from these formats (thanks to reprints) I missed playing and it was such a fun time in my life! We'll see what happens later on in the year with events being announced!
Absolutely love this video! You can truly play anything in this format and do well if you play well. I got 3rd place at the Ultimate Time Wizard Tournament at Nationals with Amaryllis Burn! Practicing and knowing your strategy inside and out will get you far
The way I always play with my friends is by Drafting Cubes, basically simulating what it’s like to open card packs and build decks with what we draw. The fun is that you can balance the card pool to be exactly to your tastes so I have a lot of Edison staples mixed with some early XYZ cards and even some anime nostalgia cards. I highly recommend it!
that's why i only play modern ygo online with homies, no need to go for tournament since u can do it online. these formats exist so no one is left behind
Man I loved that era from like 2007-2009 of yugioh. I was in middle school and my friends and I would ride our bikes to our locals spot every Sunday. This is about the time that Synchro Cards were first introduced. Outside of the old guy running the locals openly not wanting us there cuz we only went to play for free and trade cards with ppl not spend money cuz we had none 😂. Fun times. No clue about OP decks or a yugioh meta. We just had decks built up over time from cards our parents bought us and we were winning against a lot of adults who had more resources than us to deck build. I loved my Horus Lockdown Deck I spent years building as a kid. I wish master duel added different formats to the game. I recently game back to yugioh over a year ago. Game is crazy now. Cool and lame af at the same time with the 2 turn or 3 turn duels being the norm. Built myself a Branded Bystial deck cuz duh dragons are the dopest cards but I miss old yugioh but can’t commit to playing it irl anymore sadly. Great video man!
i only have old Yugi cards from 2013 ..i think...i dont think i can play w the new ones, im just too old i guess, but im willing to play the old on again...some day
First macro vid I saw was why I quit yugioh and caused me to quit too but I personally love the way how modern yugioh has like an answer for everything or a counter so to speak so that there’s always a bit of excitement when you break those boards but that’s just me tho and I personally love Edison format but the ever changing normal format is my go-tp
I loved getting cards and trying to one-up both my brothers in 3-way duels. I got into Master Duel a few weeks back and set up a Blue-Eyes deck that while it's basic to basically every pro, a good hand can get me 2 to 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons on my first turn.
It says a lot about the state of Yugioh that the most fun you've had with the game in a long time is... playing a version of the game that hasn't existed in a long time. It may actually be one of the few (card) games where older really was better and not just rose-tinted glasses.
A lot of the "old yugioh was better" crowd talk about the early-mid 2000s days (which were frankly terrible as far as the actual game goes), extrapolating their personal memories of playground/kitchen table Yugioh, assuming the general game was like what they played, and claiming things about the game (old or new) that are clearly false to those with more experience or knowledge. Yugioh has one of the biggest "genwunner" problems I've ever seen, and it's incredibly irritating to see the same tired rhetoric spread online over and over again. There are definitely points in time where you could make this argument (2010 / Edison's picked up popularity in recent years for a reason, and I enjoy it a lot too), but overall Yugioh's evolved into something that's more different and niche than something I'd consider "worse" necessarily, and the game's been very up and down over the years. It's not for everyone, but it's very cool for what it is, and there's nothing else like it on the market. For the early-mid 2000s-only crowd I'd honestly suggest trying out another TCG (like Magic The Gathering). They'd probably get a lot more out of it than sticking to that era of Yugioh (outside of the nostalgia value). Alternatively there's also Speed Duel, the official side format they make their own products for in these cool preconstructed boxes (also featuring nice reprints, as mentioned at 6:10). Wish more people played it.
Hi I love your videos, would you ever try magic the gathering? I use to play yugioh but didn’t like how the game evolved :( but I played magic and found a new card game that made me feel exited to learn!
I love playing this game but only with friends, That mean no or not as much handtraps as usual with the 9-12 per deck, no stupide annoying floodgates or 5 negate boards with the decks we love. It's just actual game but more fun and way less expensive
Even in original Yu-Gi-Oh floodgates have existed and Edison has its fair share of oppressive floodgates. I. Addition so did negates, but they were mostly spell or trap negates so therefore single use cards.
Yu-Gi-Oh was a good nr. 3 for me and probably always will be , ahead of my pokemon plays back in the day, i mean i loved pokemon as well, atleast the old one, but star wars from wizards and especially DUEL MASTERS w shobu will always be nr. 1 and to, it cant trump those
even though i think you can literally circumvent most of your problems with yugioh with the exception it being overcomplicated, that being a key element that even after circumventing all of the other problems is a dealbreaker i am glad you've found the way that you like to play the game and is widely supported by the community obligatory "you never quit yugioh"
Time Wizard formats are pretty cool because for the longest time they're assumed solved but since no new banlists or sets and people looking to get a competitive edge, metas have changed. Look at the actual tournament results fron SJC Edison and the meta now.
Speaking of alternate formats, Have you played the format called common charity, Marco? It's basically if yugioh had mtg's pauper format(Basically you can only use cards that were printed as a common). It also solves the problems you were talking about earlier(assuming you use the banlist made by the community). Balanced, cheap to play, and not overly complicated.
Once pendulum summons became a thing, that's what everyone online wanted to play. I didn't watch anything after zexal so those mechanics didn't appear to me and if you don't use the newer mechanics you are definitely at a huge disadvantage. It got so bad I stopped playing. Synchros where the last new mechanic I actually liked and so with so many new rules and monsters to keep up with I got overwhelmed. Obviously the other formats still exist but most people want to use the new mechanics so it's hard to find people to play with. The game at this point feels like a huuuuge investment of time and I just don't have that kind of time at this point.
YOOOOOOOOOOOO WELCOME BACK TO YUGIOH MACROOOO Before I even watch this fully I’m gonna guess you’re an Edison guy. You said you played competitively so I assume it’s not gonna be Goat. There’s no other major option so yeah lol
completely understandable I had a similar experience bro it started to get way too complicated for my smol child brain to understand after they added pendulum summons, and then the same thing with link summons, and then they had to change the format several times. it just didnt feel like the same game anymore, so i quit. keep in mind I also played Pokémon and magic the gathering in the same respect and amount as yugioh, and my interest in all of them collectively faded over time . but I feel yugioh got it the worst for some reason
I love YuGiOh, but I feel like I can't relate to a lot of common issues. I've only ever played digital versions(console games, Master Duel, and duel links). The price in paper is way too high, probably a barrier to entry for me in that case. Nowhere near old enough for older formats to have experienced them. I don't find it/ see modern ygo as complicated. Which could legitimately be because its the first time ive taken it seriously in the last 2 years. HOWEVER i will definitely get to this point/cycle of yugioh.
Speaking about Hanzo, I think this is the right time for you to try Master Duel. On January 16th there will be an event called "Theme Chronicle". In short, this event bans 99.9999999% of bullshit OP cards like handtraps or annoying boss monsters, and most decks in this event are very fair. I think Ninja is playable in this event because you can get this deck without gambling, just open the game, and buy the Ninja Structure deck. You will get enough gems for it as a new player.
honestly master duel's regular banlist just sucks maxx c is not a card that should exist ill argue that modern yugioh isnt as bad as a lot of people think all day but master duel's banlist(along with the bullcrap that was full power kashtira) are the two things ill just say "yeah that was/is stupid"
@@JustANewHunter Oh, You almost galit me. I found it weird that I didn't remember arise with diab at the same time and I checked it, they banned that as soon as arise released. So you are still incorrect.
@@randomdeliveryguy seems i gaslit myself instead then cause i clearly remember them both being legal together actually hold up what format we talking about?
Used to play Yugioh as a kid against my cousins. We all fell out of the game and im just collecting cards i like. They dont have to be expensive i just have to like em.
Honestly Im the same. Just downloaded master duel again and am popping off ( with Dragonmaid deck with a bit of dragon master deck put in ) EDIT: This deck is pretty Easy to use as majority of it is trying to build up to special summon dragonmaid Shao which can Also Be sacrificed to special summon a house dragonmaid and Boost it
master duel is neat but its also kinda bad, the banlist is mid as hell and subsequently allows for decks and shenanigans that you wont see in usual modern yugioh that can absolutely destroy a person's opinion on it, and as a modern yugioh enjoyer it's kinda sadge
Honestly, in lower ranks, dragonmaid is actually pretty good. In more medium ranks like high gold and low plat sheou singlehandedly carries you cuz while the rest of the is kinda bad the boss monster is super good (srs I want support for dragonmaid URGENTELY. IT IS SO COOL 😭)
@lordgrub12345 I've Maximised the deck to get a dragonmaid sheou first turn majority of the time. I have to pull parlor dragonmaid, activate her effect and then pull dragonmaid changeover or dragons mirror, then just sacrifice the needed cards in my hand to summon it. Then activate dragonmaid changeovers effect in the graveyard to return parlor dragonmaid to my hand, activating sheou's effect to destroy one of my opponants monsters
If you play Edison, or other retro formats, what’s your favorite deck to use?
I like to play TOSS format and I like using blackwings
X-Saber and psychic are my favorite Edison decks
Stardust or junk or heroes or black wing I like these
HERO, just HERO

as a follow chaos(not the archetype) enjoyer i offer you a respect handshake
I had no clue you were a DuelHead. Blackwings For Life!
Been great having you in the community macro! Always love it when you pop up in keegan or karpaths comment section lol
Should totally make another channel of you going to locals or Yu-Gi-Oh content! I'd watch it
I legit want to play again this year the Time Wizard Formats! I have that adult money where i can make any deck i want from these formats (thanks to reprints)
I missed playing and it was such a fun time in my life! We'll see what happens later on in the year with events being announced!
Absolutely love this video! You can truly play anything in this format and do well if you play well. I got 3rd place at the Ultimate Time Wizard Tournament at Nationals with Amaryllis Burn! Practicing and knowing your strategy inside and out will get you far
Yugi oh is golden
Good to see a yugi bro back in action
The way I always play with my friends is by Drafting Cubes, basically simulating what it’s like to open card packs and build decks with what we draw. The fun is that you can balance the card pool to be exactly to your tastes so I have a lot of Edison staples mixed with some early XYZ cards and even some anime nostalgia cards. I highly recommend it!
Cubes??
that's why i only play modern ygo online with homies, no need to go for tournament since u can do it online. these formats exist so no one is left behind
Ain't no way he's back in the grind
you never actually leave yugioh, you just come back with a different mindset
Man I loved that era from like 2007-2009 of yugioh. I was in middle school and my friends and I would ride our bikes to our locals spot every Sunday. This is about the time that Synchro Cards were first introduced. Outside of the old guy running the locals openly not wanting us there cuz we only went to play for free and trade cards with ppl not spend money cuz we had none 😂. Fun times. No clue about OP decks or a yugioh meta. We just had decks built up over time from cards our parents bought us and we were winning against a lot of adults who had more resources than us to deck build. I loved my Horus Lockdown Deck I spent years building as a kid. I wish master duel added different formats to the game. I recently game back to yugioh over a year ago. Game is crazy now. Cool and lame af at the same time with the 2 turn or 3 turn duels being the norm. Built myself a Branded Bystial deck cuz duh dragons are the dopest cards but I miss old yugioh but can’t commit to playing it irl anymore sadly. Great video man!
I got back into playing again about a year ago. And I plan this year to be Awesome
I still remember your video on yugioh
Weird how things changed
This shit was my childhood, and still is.
i only have old Yugi cards from 2013 ..i think...i dont think i can play w the new ones, im just too old i guess, but im willing to play the old on again...some day
@TheMacroShow, where are you covering Rush Duel?
YESSSS EDISON FORMAT ROCKS
Love to see Edison get some love these days
The timing on this is impeccable, i also just started playing again
I recently got support for my decks so I came back For the fun of it and new deck I like and if rush duel comes out that s going to be fun
Great video and enjoyable to watch!
6:01 Don’t worry, we, the modern players, are clamouring for Trident Dragion reprints too…
Didn't even know what edison format was till now. Might switch to that from speed duels, but they did hit Cyber Dragons sooooooo maybe not
First macro vid I saw was why I quit yugioh and caused me to quit too but I personally love the way how modern yugioh has like an answer for everything or a counter so to speak so that there’s always a bit of excitement when you break those boards but that’s just me tho and I personally love Edison format but the ever changing normal format is my go-tp
I know Hawks nest gaming in GA has a night dedicated to Edison format.
Only problem is that alot of locals don't host Edison tournaments. I wish more did especially with the current format that yugioh is going through
Time Wizard formats brought back my love for Yugioh
I loved getting cards and trying to one-up both my brothers in 3-way duels. I got into Master Duel a few weeks back and set up a Blue-Eyes deck that while it's basic to basically every pro, a good hand can get me 2 to 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons on my first turn.
I play master duel like a chump and run Runick and Vanity Fiend to lock out special summons. And if they go first I run a few Kaiju’s or Lava Golems.
Bro just admitted that he plays Runick Stun 💀
So in other words you lack skill and are a cheese player, noted.
It says a lot about the state of Yugioh that the most fun you've had with the game in a long time is... playing a version of the game that hasn't existed in a long time. It may actually be one of the few (card) games where older really was better and not just rose-tinted glasses.
only for some though a large amount of people including myself enjoy the complexity and speed of the modern game more than older formats
A lot of the "old yugioh was better" crowd talk about the early-mid 2000s days (which were frankly terrible as far as the actual game goes), extrapolating their personal memories of playground/kitchen table Yugioh, assuming the general game was like what they played, and claiming things about the game (old or new) that are clearly false to those with more experience or knowledge. Yugioh has one of the biggest "genwunner" problems I've ever seen, and it's incredibly irritating to see the same tired rhetoric spread online over and over again.
There are definitely points in time where you could make this argument (2010 / Edison's picked up popularity in recent years for a reason, and I enjoy it a lot too), but overall Yugioh's evolved into something that's more different and niche than something I'd consider "worse" necessarily, and the game's been very up and down over the years. It's not for everyone, but it's very cool for what it is, and there's nothing else like it on the market. For the early-mid 2000s-only crowd I'd honestly suggest trying out another TCG (like Magic The Gathering). They'd probably get a lot more out of it than sticking to that era of Yugioh (outside of the nostalgia value). Alternatively there's also Speed Duel, the official side format they make their own products for in these cool preconstructed boxes (also featuring nice reprints, as mentioned at 6:10). Wish more people played it.
Never heard of this format before but i will give it a shot, because thats the format for a boomer like me
Hi I love your videos, would you ever try magic the gathering? I use to play yugioh but didn’t like how the game evolved :( but I played magic and found a new card game that made me feel exited to learn!
Holy crap I never thought I'd see the day that macro talks about playing yu-gi-oh
Edison sounds great
Hey the next team ycs in February is a time wizard format so they’ll be playing Edison decks I believe. You should definitely check it out!
I wish we had a format similar to this in magic the gathering
Macro thank you soooo much for bringing love to the Edison community we need more people to help it grow!!
Yeah I support this thought. Get the out of the Format for good players
Thank god here at the OCG, we don’t have to deal with prices like these 5:33 .
I love playing this game but only with friends,
That mean no or not as much handtraps as usual with the 9-12 per deck, no stupide annoying floodgates or 5 negate boards with the decks we love.
It's just actual game but more fun and way less expensive
Even in original Yu-Gi-Oh floodgates have existed and Edison has its fair share of oppressive floodgates. I. Addition so did negates, but they were mostly spell or trap negates so therefore single use cards.
Yu-Gi-Oh was a good nr. 3 for me and probably always will be , ahead of my pokemon plays back in the day, i mean i loved pokemon as well, atleast the old one, but star wars from wizards and especially DUEL MASTERS w shobu will always be nr. 1 and to, it cant trump those
I feel you on this Macro, I recently sold my sinful spoil fire king deck for $750 so I can play something I like and not something meta
I play a T.G. And floral knight deck that is built towards the tengu plant format with some pack filler cards from recent years
even though i think you can literally circumvent most of your problems with yugioh with the exception it being overcomplicated, that being a key element that even after circumventing all of the other problems is a dealbreaker i am glad you've found the way that you like to play the game and is widely supported by the community
obligatory "you never quit yugioh"
I found your channel from Zuczid! Really love the other content you've been making!
I first heard of Edison thanks to Magical Hats
Now I get to really understand!
XD
Time Wizard formats are pretty cool because for the longest time they're assumed solved but since no new banlists or sets and people looking to get a competitive edge, metas have changed.
Look at the actual tournament results fron SJC Edison and the meta now.
Love that they called it that!
XD
Speaking of alternate formats, Have you played the format called common charity, Marco? It's basically if yugioh had mtg's pauper format(Basically you can only use cards that were printed as a common). It also solves the problems you were talking about earlier(assuming you use the banlist made by the community). Balanced, cheap to play, and not overly complicated.
OH?
[pulls Skull Servant]
Hello again...
Hey Macro, I know you said you don’t like modern Yu-Gi-Oh overall but is there anything you do like about current Yu-Gi-Oh.
One of us! One of us!
Extremely unexpected video, but cool.
im still mad konami didn't make retro formats play by the current rules (exept for erattas)
yes i hate priority it doesn't make sense to me
I love edison format but i love this curent modern format. Its literaly edison 2.0 with 14 difrent decks toping on ivents, but yea edison i goated.
Once pendulum summons became a thing, that's what everyone online wanted to play. I didn't watch anything after zexal so those mechanics didn't appear to me and if you don't use the newer mechanics you are definitely at a huge disadvantage. It got so bad I stopped playing. Synchros where the last new mechanic I actually liked and so with so many new rules and monsters to keep up with I got overwhelmed. Obviously the other formats still exist but most people want to use the new mechanics so it's hard to find people to play with. The game at this point feels like a huuuuge investment of time and I just don't have that kind of time at this point.
yoooo plllleeeeaaaaase put some shine on edison format!!! Yugioh is an amazing game!!
I am getting into magic the gathering but my first card game was yugioh playing it at school lmfao
Edison format is so good, I love it so many decks and affordable prices is something great
YOOOOOOOOOOOO WELCOME BACK TO YUGIOH MACROOOO
Before I even watch this fully I’m gonna guess you’re an Edison guy. You said you played competitively so I assume it’s not gonna be Goat. There’s no other major option so yeah lol
We need a yugioh for noobs video 😭
Welcome back and yes I agree I love that format
Hey Marco, have you heard of Speed Duels? Dunno if you played Duel Links before it's basically that but irl.
completely understandable I had a similar experience bro it started to get way too complicated for my smol child brain to understand after they added pendulum summons, and then the same thing with link summons, and then they had to change the format several times. it just didnt feel like the same game anymore, so i quit. keep in mind I also played Pokémon and magic the gathering in the same respect and amount as yugioh, and my interest in all of them collectively faded over time . but I feel yugioh got it the worst for some reason
I love YuGiOh, but I feel like I can't relate to a lot of common issues.
I've only ever played digital versions(console games, Master Duel, and duel links). The price in paper is way too high, probably a barrier to entry for me in that case.
Nowhere near old enough for older formats to have experienced them.
I don't find it/ see modern ygo as complicated. Which could legitimately be because its the first time ive taken it seriously in the last 2 years. HOWEVER i will definitely get to this point/cycle of yugioh.
Love hat format it's wirad to see Yu-Gi-Oh on your Chanel
8:04 Try Pendulum Gemini!
Speaking about Hanzo, I think this is the right time for you to try Master Duel. On January 16th there will be an event called "Theme Chronicle". In short, this event bans 99.9999999% of bullshit OP cards like handtraps or annoying boss monsters, and most decks in this event are very fair. I think Ninja is playable in this event because you can get this deck without gambling, just open the game, and buy the Ninja Structure deck. You will get enough gems for it as a new player.
honestly master duel's regular banlist just sucks
maxx c is not a card that should exist
ill argue that modern yugioh isnt as bad as a lot of people think all day
but master duel's banlist(along with the bullcrap that was full power kashtira) are the two things ill just say "yeah that was/is stupid"
@@JustANewHunter Kashtira wasn't at full power.
@@randomdeliveryguy you saying it wasnt at full power when Arise-Heart was at 3 and Diabolosis was legal? sure bud
@@JustANewHunter Oh, You almost galit me. I found it weird that I didn't remember arise with diab at the same time and I checked it, they banned that as soon as arise released. So you are still incorrect.
@@randomdeliveryguy seems i gaslit myself instead then cause i clearly remember them both being legal together
actually
hold up
what format we talking about?
Used to play Yugioh as a kid against my cousins. We all fell out of the game and im just collecting cards i like. They dont have to be expensive i just have to like em.
Now that I think about it, this is just the Smash Bros. Melee equivalent of YGO
Honestly Im the same. Just downloaded master duel again and am popping off ( with Dragonmaid deck with a bit of dragon master deck put in )
EDIT: This deck is pretty Easy to use as majority of it is trying to build up to special summon dragonmaid Shao which can Also Be sacrificed to special summon a house dragonmaid and Boost it
master duel is neat but its also kinda bad, the banlist is mid as hell and subsequently allows for decks and shenanigans that you wont see in usual modern yugioh that can absolutely destroy a person's opinion on it, and as a modern yugioh enjoyer it's kinda sadge
Honestly, in lower ranks, dragonmaid is actually pretty good. In more medium ranks like high gold and low plat sheou singlehandedly carries you cuz while the rest of the is kinda bad the boss monster is super good (srs I want support for dragonmaid URGENTELY. IT IS SO COOL 😭)
@lordgrub12345 I've Maximised the deck to get a dragonmaid sheou first turn majority of the time. I have to pull parlor dragonmaid, activate her effect and then pull dragonmaid changeover or dragons mirror, then just sacrifice the needed cards in my hand to summon it. Then activate dragonmaid changeovers effect in the graveyard to return parlor dragonmaid to my hand, activating sheou's effect to destroy one of my opponants monsters
What a good combo, my favorite gam and macro
LESSGOOOO IM SO EXCITED MACRO YYUGIUOH VIDEO
