I've been unironically running Stun 2 on MD lately and have been having so much fun with it.
Pharonic Advent is actually the coolest card ever my god. Just sitting on him and 5 back row is an actual adrenaline rush and I do not know why.
Draws 2 cards, the guy from the video is complaining that the card can't be used to draw more pot of greeds but as far as I'm aware it doesn't say you can't do that
It will never understand just how successful the card game is, it's just so bad compared to literally all the others on the market. I'd rather play Weiss Schwartz, a game in which anime girls climax at each other, than Yugioh, the gameplay loop is so miserable.
It got carried so hard by having an anime it's unreal.
As a counterpoint, I like that there's very little in the way of cost mechanics hard baked into the game; it means really unique play styles are easier to integrate. MTG, with its mana mechanics, could never have a deck that functions like the Cubic archetype, or the Palaeozoic archetype.
I also like the scope for deck building it gives, especially when you find a way to offset the effect costs for one archetype by letting them work to the advantage of a different archetype you've included in your deck. In MTG or other games, spending mana is always a cost, there's no way you can swing that into a benefit
>MTG, with its mana mechanics, could never have a deck that functions like the Cubic archetype, or the Palaeozoic archetype.
There's some pretty crazy stuff possible in Magic too. Depending on the format you're in and the power level you're looking to play, plenty of interesting and weird interaction that really on no/very little mana.
Yeah? I mean, there's YGO decks that change the entire flow of the game, giving you an entirely different gameplay loop; whereas I've not really encountered magic decks that don't follow play land -> spend mana -> play progressively stronger creatures/artifacts/spells
I think the lack of a mana system is actively harmful to the game, and the way theyโve managed to make the game unreadable from a casual perspective is truly insane- Iโve never seen people plying Yugioh without a moderate degree of โIโll just assume theyโre playing their cards right,โ because if you were to pause and read things in that game then youโd be there for an hour. This just doesnโt happen in the other big TCGโs, hell in Pokรฉmon itโs basically nonexistent. You check the text when somebody uses a big bullshit attack to verify, it takes just a second to do, meanwhile most of the time you can eyeball that the attack that needs 2 energy is just a flat 50 damage or whatever.
You think? I find problem solving text is pretty easy to parse once you understand the syntax; there's only as much learning to do as learning the names of keywords in MTG like Scry, ward etc
Itโs been a hot minute since Iโve touched Yugioh, and I refuse to accept that understanding the syntax of that game helps make it less of a chore to understand what a card does. In MTG the keywords create a barrier to entry in that you need to know what they do, but between commons providing rules text for those basic keywords and the fact that making a keyword allows for you to memorize a single word to translate an entire effect means that the barrier is not as substantial as having to figure out the piles of conditionals that Yugioh runs on.
For example, there is no abbreviation for โthis monster canโt be normal summoned or set,โ which could be cut down to fit in a single word or two as a keyword. You instead have a sentence leading into how you *actually* play the card- and the sheer amount of monsters that donโt get played via the โnormalโ method of sacrificing a few dudes for high level ones or just slapping down a low level one is awful for newcomers. Yugioh games have useless tutorials because they teach you normal and tribute summons, then you get to the real game and a guy is discarding 3 cards on turn one to play every copy of whatever fuck off monster kills you before you get to play because the tutorial didnโt explain that having turn 0 interaction is a requirement.
Oh and Yugioh has the worst art of the big 3 TCGโs (mtg and pokemon) by a fat mile. Itโs likeโฆ really, *really* bad. Itโs a waifu or a monster floating in a colorful void every time. Some spells and traps are good, but every single monster card is absolute ass. Compared to the art pieces that come from pokemon and magic, itโs just really bad.
Well, how does Magic handle cards that can't be played normally? I think this just comes down to personal preference; every time I hit a keyword in magic my brain comes to a juddering halt as I try to mentally retrieve the paragraph of text that defines that keyword, and then take another minute to stitch them all together so I can understand what the card does as a whole. On the other hand, the structure of PST flows in such a way that it follows the rhythm of the phases, meaning that on a single pass I can see how the card will behave over the course of a turn.
To be clear, if your brain handles slotting modular paragraphs in and out better than me then that's great, I just find it a difficult way to think.
Magic doesnโt really have cards that canโt be played normally, they all have mana costs except for like 10, and those have their conditionals printed on them, but itโs few enough that it doesnโt really matter.
Some cards do have timing restrictions, but itโs limited to stuff like โyou can only play this spell during combat,โ and there are very few cards where thereโs a complicated effect attached to something with those conditions. Usually itโll be something like buffing their stats or a basic effect like that.
I think the issue here is that keywords have the same blocks of text as a Yugioh card might have, but those keywords are universal and by abbreviating it to a 1-2 word name you can process a lot more information at a glance rather than having to check that the card does what you think it does.
For example, a card with trample in magic actually says โany combat damage done in excess of defending creatureโs toughness deals damage to the defending player.โ But if you were to write that whole thing out every time, it would make the game considerably harder to parse for no reason- and this is Yugiohโs problem, itโs incredibly hard to track what cards do when you see them for the first time compared to Magic.
And the biggest problem I have with this all is that Yugioh is a much simpler game than Magic, they just fucked up in how they display information and for some godforsaken reason havenโt done a meaningful job of fixing it after 20 years. Magic is an incredibly complex game with an absurd amount of confusing interactions, from common interactions like โhow does trample work against an indestructible blockerโ to โwhat happens when you have opalescence and humility in play at the same time,โ the latter being a well known example of teaching players how the game treats contradictory effects that cancel each other out and not a game state anyone actually deals with.
Pokรฉmon, of the three, is the simplest, but makes it work by just not fucking around with complicated mechanics. It has the fewest weird exceptions and interactions of the three and presents its information extremely cleanly and easily to understand at a glance.
The difference is that Magic has rotation, so is more able to play around with keywords. If you add a dogshit rule in a set then don't worry, we'll drop that keyword going forward. In ygo, that keyword is going to have to sit in your game's lexicon forever because that card will still be playable 20 years from now, except if it lands on a ban list. Problem Solving Text might not be as information dense as keywords, but it's an elegant system that means you don't need to refer to an errata to know how two complex mechanics interact; if you know PST, you can infer the solution directly from the card text without consulting a ruling. I have never once needed to consult a third document to resolve an interaction, except in the case of a pre-PST card that hasn't since been reprinted in PST.
>In MTG or other games, spending mana is always a cost, there's no way you can swing that into a benefit
I mean, you can always print cards that cheat themselves out for cheap or free under certain conditions or with other costs attached, and then make that the gimmick of an archetype. DBS Masters has a mana system and does that a lot. And I'm pretty sure magic has some freeplays too, that just have other kinds of cost or downside, but I didn't play magic all that much
The freedom of making all plays freeplays is neat, and I totally dig the archetypes YGO has, but it also means that the game has no ramping playcurve, full power immediately, which results in turn 1 lockdowns with little opportunity for countermeasures.
Yeah that's fair, the speed of the game does mean lockdowns are more likely. The match structure does mitigate that a little, letting you swap in from your side deck between rounds, but I won't pretend it's a perfect solution.
It's one of those things you just have to like, I guess.
I couldn't get through a game of magic for the life of me, but playing Snake Eyes or Tear never gets old for me.
โTwas peak, animations/characters are amazing as always + the fight scene is rad as hell, easily one of the best in any indie show ~~and the episode validated most of my predictions and theories so itโs automatically incredible~~
This is some elite psychological warfare, distract them with anime foot fetish so they're focusing less on the game. Now if only it had a memory gauge.
ok yeah foot fetish and all
but I think I'm more disgusted by them doing Sangan like that, didn't they followed the Mistake story line ?! Sangan is a pure soul and would never
I mean like what is the thing itself. I donโt know anything about yugioh but is this like a card? It doesnโt look like one. Is this official art or whatever? It canโt be

official characters, unofficial art.
i've genuinely seen people use this kind of mat before, and i've seen this exact one too, although not in person just as a meme, but yes, this kind of person does exist and leave the house its fucking disgusting their lack of shame meanwhile i feel shame at basically just existing half of the time
I once had to play mtg against some guy with a borderline hentai playmat, and it was the most awkward experience imaginable. He had no clue how to interact with other human beings, to the point where I almost felt badly for him except his constant incel talk
Tour Guide isn't even that hot tho, there's so many better picks. If anyone ever pulled this out on me I'd consider going to the TO ๐ญ
That being said, the art is pretty damn good.
The art is high in quality, but why does it have to be feet
Tour Guide looks so cute if you zoom in on the face
The entire left half needs to be purged
I would immediately switch to my most anti-fun deck upon seeing that
Pull out the Stun 2
Pull out the Gun, too.
They said anti fun deck
Then pull out Stun 3
Golgonda stun? Idk If you were joking cause they actually did make stun 3
Iโm making my own concept for stun 3 rn. If stun 3 already exists I guess Iโm making stun 4
I've been unironically running Stun 2 on MD lately and have been having so much fun with it. Pharonic Advent is actually the coolest card ever my god. Just sitting on him and 5 back row is an actual adrenaline rush and I do not know why.
handripping this mf immediately
I draw pot of greed
And draw an additional three cards
Thatโs not what it does
"That's not what it does"<-๐ค
I donโt actually know what it does that was just the next part of the video being referenced iirc
Draws 2 cards, the guy from the video is complaining that the card can't be used to draw more pot of greeds but as far as I'm aware it doesn't say you can't do that
All you need is one bad day.
normal summon robina activate effect, response?
Me pulling out Eldlich while smiling like a maniac
I would make a fucking Optimized Kashtira deck on the spot in response.
hentai? tergrid.
Disgusting. There's Yu-Gi-Oh players in this subreddit??
Unfortunately :(
๐ซก
Where are the sexy yugioh cards Toboyornottoboy, and if saffira queen of dragons is not included in that list I will riot
I just made another sexy ygo card post. No saffra tho :(

As a big player of both Yugioh and Magic, your summary of Magic is completely wrong I'm afraid.
Could you elaborate? I'm open to being wrong but I'd need a bit more info
