    I remember playing yugioh with a kid when I was in middle school who tried to convince me that the vanilla elemental heroes (avian, burstinatrix, etc.) had hidden secret effects that you "just had to know and remember". That wasn't so much the card lying to me as much as it was another kid trying to lie to me, but it feels appropriate here.

      I had a guy argue the vanilla E-heroes were the best E-Hero cards ever made, and that Masked Heroes sucked. He was an Adult, lost to a good Heroes Deck and complained. Worst part is Masked Heroes might have helped his deck even if it was just a Jaden deck.

      Nothing stops them from doing so right now. Especially considering these types and many more already existed in the manga, they should just reprint them to fix them.
      There hasn't been a single actually new type created by Konami, they just keep taking more from the manga when they feel like a current one is too powerful instead of making them the right types to begin with.

    blue eyes flavor text was true in the time it came out because unless you had a removal card like raigeki, dark hole, compulsory evacuation device, mirror force, or dimensional prison you are not getting over a blue eyes. the only way you are is by having a really strong monster and buffing it up with a field spell and equip cards, black luster soldier envoy of the beginning, or relinquished

      It was even worse than that. CED, Dimensional Prison, BLS Envoy, and Reliquished didn't exist when BEWD was released. I don't even think _Mirror Force_ came out until the next set. Your options for getting rid of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon 'easily' were Dark Hole, Raigeki, and Man-Eater Bug. That was all that they had back then. There was also Fissure and Trap Hole, but good luck drawing those at the exact time when BEWD hit the field or was by itself.

    No other Spellcaster with more attack is a normal monster wizard. Dark Magician is the best normal monster wizard in the game and obviously always will be just like Blue-Eyes is the most powerful one in general.
    Cosmo Queen is some kind of overlord or godly entity and a magical swordsman is a... Swordsman who can use magic.

    Should note that Yugi won not just by using Spells/Traps to nerf Blue-Eyes, but by abusing the rules of the game. Sure, everyone knows that you didn't need to Tribute monsters before Battle City, but there's another rule that few seem to realize existed: No Direct Attacks. If Direct Attacks were in the original rules, Kaiba would have won easily in his first battle with Yugi.

      when Mystical Elf is a normal monster, not an effect monster. Or how about the time when Arkana used Ectoplasmer on his Dark Magician, only for Yugi's Dark Magician to block it because(according to him) monsters of the same name are affected by that spell card.

      It's not that there were no direct attacks, instead, it's that you could only attack with one monster per turn in Duelist Kingdom. You'll notice that no one ever goes a whole turn without a monster on the field to block at least one attack. If there were no direct attacks, Yugi could have just...stopped summoning monsters when he was trying to draw Exodia against Kaiba.
      This was reflected in the Bandai card game that came out around this time too.

    The Dark World discrepancy has a simple explanation. Each universe has its own self contained ecosystem and when kept separate they can look harmonious to an outsider. However, anyone not from the same universe can justifiably be presumed to be a resource or a dangerous threat and should not be surprised if the locals treat them accordingly.

    I might have one more excuse for the Dark Magician: He's referred to as the ultimate *wizard,* not the ultimate Spellcaster. I don't know what a wizard is considered to be in Yugioh, but he's a male DARK Spellcaster with a pointy hat, so I'd say he checks off at least most of the necessary boxes.
    Meanwhile, Spellcaster or not, Trance is quite clearly more of a swordsman than a magician. He might have some magical proficiency, but considering he has almost 0 DEF, he's probably a one-trick pony that has no way to fend off powerful attacks like the Dark Magician does. Neo Aqua Madoor is a sorcerer who defends himself somewhat simply by conjuring an entire fucking ice shelf to block attacks. And Cosmo Queen is, in all likelihood, not strictly a sorceress judging by her flavor text, but some godlike or alien entity that oversees the greater Universe. Bearing that in mind (as well as the fact that Trance's flavor text says he'd been to space as well), I think it's fair to say that the Dark Magician is at least the best wizard _on Earth._

    To be fair, "Fish and Swaps" could potentially be portraying immortal men (or indeed, women); and "Single Purchase" be portraying mortal goblins. Thus, in the strictest sense, it is still possible that 7 Colored Fish has not been caught specifically by "mortal men". We need only apply Macbeth-levels of specificity to the flavour text's interpretation.

  • @sarahfay5280
    @sarahfay5280 Годину тому

    If I may offer a potential minor correction: the "Magic Type chart quadrilateral" was for a Monster's Attribute, not its Type (Sorry Pokemon), and you could have, say, a Water Spellcaster like Aqua Madoor. Not covered in the Attribute Chart shown was also the Elemental Attribute Hexagon, Water > Fire > Forest > Wind > Earth > Thunder > Water. Having played video games that used those prototypical rules, I will say, there were some other odd choices. In Reshef of Destruction, a game based on the YGO manga cycle of the same name, for example, Cyber Jar was a Normal Monster, Mystical Elf was an Effect Monster, Monsters could only use their effects when flipped face-up but would remain face down in attack mode if you placed them and didn't attack, Spellbinding Circle was a Spell Card, Trap Cards would just go off automatically and without you having a choice as soon as something satisfied their activation condition (kinda like Light and Darkness Dragon of today's game), and the Normal Summon was king.
    But yeah, Fiend Attribute and Black Magic Attribute got consolidated into Dark Attribute, and Illusion Magic and White Magic Attributes got merged into Light Attribute (though seeing Yami Kaiba lose his blue-eyes *every time* attacking into my facedown Kuriboh was hilarious). I'm glad we ended up with the game we have now.

    You know, you should not think that game mechanics and flavor text go hand in hand.
    One is a set of rules for a game.
    The other is a setting for a fantasy realm.
    Neither are actually the same.
    Trying to tie in flavor text to game mechanics is no different than being unable to separate reality from fiction in my opinion.

It would be one thing if instead it said ultimate mage or spellcaster as those are gender neutral terms.

    I will have to disagree on the Exodia explanation with the Ankh mainly due to the fact that Exodia is supposed to win outright but he lost to Zorc, and while yes one could make the argument that Exodia lost due to being used by a person with a weakened soul, the thing is, even later on in GX where Exodia had been shown and stated to have become stronger, he still lost every single battle he was in meaning that the effects of monsters only work in the context of the card game itself but not the same way in the monster's individual lores outside the card game, plus besides we seen the Egyptian Gods and Blue-Eyes fare better against Zorc than Exodia did and the Egyptian Gods were stated to be stronger than Exodia on multiple occasions, now what this has to do with the extra millenium items? Well perhaps the extra millenium items could have been created even prior to the 7 that we know of and were perhaps way less powerful and thus less notable than the main 7, plus how can we be 100% certain that Phantom Exodia Incarnate is weaker than the OG? Perhaps the upcoming card chronicles can shed some light on Exodia some day
