      ​@@randomprotag9329but you can't just take luck out entirely either. Luck is a part of skill. The problem with these tier zero decks and meta decks in general is that they try to remove luck from the equation by overtuning to the point where luck is no longer a factor and you win just by playing the deck. There's no skill in these decks because they play themselves. This also why diverse formats are important. With a card pool as humongous as yugioh's there should in theory be cards and decks that counter anything you can think of. If certain cards and decks are overcentralizing to the point that everyone has to play them to be "competitive", then those decks and cards are the problem. Cards like ash blossom should be banned because they've been played in every deck since they were made and haven't stopped seeing play in any capacity. Heck ash blossom in particular has a notorious reputation as a gatekeeper card with people saying if your deck loses to ash then it's not competitive. Which is bs because literally every deck loses to ash blossom! It's why they made called by the grave and crossout designator!

      @@dustinvance243 luck is a purely negative thing a deck bricking half the time does not make it more skillful to play, it just means that a 2 player game gets played only half the time, luck factors are more used to justify not hitting extreme decks like FTKs as they are a free win most of the time. format diversity is a balance between skill and luck. assuming no external bad factors like badly designed decks, 1 decks formats put more focus on skill as the unexpected is harder to meaningfully do while diverse formats trade the skill focus for deck diversity regardless if the format is diverse to a fault or not. the general goal with format diversity is to add enough verity without it being beyond what can be prepared for and players have to match up fish by just hoping the deck(s) they couldn't have prepared for comes up. theres also the factor of who the target audience of a format is, casuals dont mind losing so they are more tolerent of unlucky losses compared to competive where they want to lose cause of lack of skill, instead of luck not being on their side.

      @@randomprotag9329 that logic is inherently flawed on multiple levels. Fir one thing with the aforementioned humongous card pool, it's inherently impossible to prepare for everything because people can bring anything. This isn't like magic the gathering where people throw out decks because of set rotation. Unless it's on the Forbidden list Every card is legally allowed to be used. There are and should be hundreds of different decks with their own identity and playstyles regardless of whatever the meta is. If anything meta players should be the minority. But no instead meta is so omnipresent that is straight up impossible to not run into it even at the lowest level of official play. There's virtually no difference between playing at a locals or the final round of a ycs because everyone is playing the same crap. Limiting formats with meta is the problem. You shouldn't be preparing for decks at all because there are to many decks to prepare for! That's what makes yugioh exciting! But meta is the problem because it takes the number of viable decks from what should be triple digits and slashes it down to 10 at most and 3 at the lowest! No one can play what they want because meta is that oppressive and omnipresent.
      And i completely disagree with your take on casual players because it portrays them as punching bags that don't care. No one likes to lose. And it's especially painful when there was nothing that could have been done about it. Why do you think yugioh has a new player problem? It's because the majority of players are only concerned with winning the game and not playing it. You can't learn how to play if your opponent never lets you. All anyone learns from playing against meta is that they can't play. And if they can't play then there's no point in buying cards to play. Meta is bad for the game's overall health and the only way to cure it is by bringing in more decks thereby decreasing the presence of meta and raising the chance for those other decks to succeed in its place.

      -casuals dont mind losing, they just want to play before the games ends its why yugioh is very casual unfriendly the only way to actually play is to play competive which has a big casual to comp gap. scooping before a single card gets played is disliked casual areas despite the fact the casual won.
      -a lot of the issues of competive effecting casual side is not just a massive comp casual gap. its also only having 1 format, a casual targeted format is different to a competive targeted format so effectively including both in one does not work its like trying.
      -acting like yugioh does not have rotation is also inaccurate magic has honest rotation while yugioh dishonest roation, instead saying it straight up yugioh uses power creep and the banlist to push new cards.
      -other games know that the numbers of cards has to be limited to not show flaws which is why the set rotation ones are the standard and the non set rotation ones are the side formats which can be more flawed.
      -the META is not an issue a 4 deck format has 16 different match ups which if it plays too samey thats card design issues
      -the main issue is that yugioh only has 1 format, theres no casual format which is targeted at games with no stakes which can heavier on the match up luck and a competive format targeted at games with stakes focused more on skill.
      -the cure is not trying to make 1 format work for everything, trying to please everybody ends up pleases nobody (its like trying it make a dish heavily spiced and not spiced at all at the same time) but instead having multiple formats.
      -the new player problem comes from konami theres no offical resources which teach how to play the game like covering archetypes game plans, handtraps what they are and which to use in what senario .how to normal summon is not the thing new players have issues with. thats excluding the powercreep issue thats made the only format vintage magic

    1:10 You nailed it. There a small percentage of ppl that actually play competitive yugi; I wouldn't be surprised if the 80/20 rule applies here: Where the 20% of players are the ones playing competitively, and thus are the ones that bring 80% of CONnami's revenue, while the 80% pf players that don't care about that only bring 20% of the revenue. It's like in MMOs, the whales determine how the game is shaped, and the success of a game depends on how the company manages the balance between op expensive shit, and some semblance of balance that gives us peasants hope to still play the game.
    So, convince the ppl playin competitive to stop giving in to blowing their money just to win, or this will never change, but the thing is, many ppl that play competitive like Jessie, make a living out of it, so they have to purchase all this crap, they need to win, so it's a between a sword and a hard place situation.

But they’ve done a much better job with making decks over the past few years for the most part, top decks rely on grind game 1 for 1 trades way more than in the past.

    Thing is, people are missing the point. The card design in Snake-eye poplar and Ash is absurd. I'm talking about a card that has 3 effects, if you stop the main effect, you can link away and still get vallue out of it. We're talking about a deck that plays through handraps like it was NOTHING. THAT should be the issue people should be talking about, not that it's a tier 0 format. Konami messed up printing cards that powerful to a point of "potentially" no return. Because I'm not seeing them dialing it back at all with the newer releases.

    Honestly they are probably running out of ideas on what the next strategy can be without copying already existing archetypes , breaking the game or adding a new type of card. All while just actually breaking the game. Which would explain why they are coming out with a new type of monster card (illusion).
    For example if i were to make a fairy card id have to be very careful it doesn't break a Strategy like despia or drytron
    All while trying to make it appealing to players after all you want your new cards to be played and make $$

    Konami should have just added support on old archetypes with similar strat from new archetypes. Bringing every archetypes to their full potential while balancing the game should be their goal. Imagine adding support for Cyber Dragons than creating Tenpai Dragons, or instead of making Kashtira they should have added support for Ojama. They can also treat every archetype they have like how they treat Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, or Red-Eyes Black Dragon releasing different cards for different strats of the same archetype. If they find that the meta is well balance, then they can add a new archetype, building slowly.

If you dont have a nostalgia for it, you dont play it. But i mean, to be fair, this is a game that was quite literally spawned from a manga.

This format is the only format he knows. Hell, even half the local tournament winners here at our scene only started at Pendulum era.
      The game has evolved to a point where it is no longer the manga. Also, on the note that the game is "bad"... all card games have their flaws. This is just something most card game players accept. I can nitpick about my gripes with Magic the Gathering all day, but I'll still play it, ya know?
      But regardless, take it from somebody who plays Digimon, Vangard, Magic, Pokemon, AND Yugioh at a tournament level... this is far from the worst. At least with Yugioh I get to keep my decks without them being cycled out of play. I get to CHOOSE when my deck is not viable, not the card company. I think THAT is a major pull for Yugioh players. If ya need a real reason Yugioh players stick around, it's more likely this fact, than anything.

    It is not the "tier 0 format" that sucks" It is the yugioh too expensive sucks. Tier 0 is the healthiest format because playing on a format where too many viable decks are is a nightmare because you can't optimize a deck in those formats and skill expression in deck building goes to dumpster. Yugioh being about skill is best expressed when there is a tier 0 format. Ofc the "pricing" of yugioh is a problem. I have never been a paper player since 6th grade so I can't speak on this issue because there is no paper yugioh scene where I live but ultimately we can all agree that ocg format and the konami seeing what cards are good ultimately makes them able to short print the cards that are necessary in formats making the game expensive.

      yall really need to just play chess at that point. if you want to everyone to be running the same deck just play chess. the fun in the game is the interactions between many decks.

      @@Beamin439 well we don't run the same deck. We run the same ENGINE. For example, I am currently using a 60 card pile snake eye deck which does the normal version does but with much better consistency and power.
      Tier 0 format is about innovation because if the game is at a tier 0 that means there are undiscovered utilities people are not aware of that can be taken advantage of. For example, the tearlements synergy with snake eye is something most people don't understand and makes the deck much better but because it is "tier 0" dummies like you would just dismiss it.
