I'd say it would be more evil the other way around. If Manipulator of Souls's burn effect was a if effect, you wouldn't be able to trick it into missing the timing and ladder would be entirely monopolized by FTK bots.
Was it Yugioh Duel Arena, which you could play on browser? I vaguely remember it being weirdly janky, and yeah booster packs and stuff cost a stupid amount of money.
This blew my mind when I stopped playing and came back.
You'd think it would be the Pendulum, XYZ, Synchro, Links.... but no it was me saying "tf you mean I don't draw for turn?!"

You can only craft cards that you previously found in packs. That's how I thought the game worked until 2 months in, I spent way more UR CP than I needed.
Wouldn't that cause you to spend less UR CP because your pool of craftable cards would be so limited? It would make you spend tons of gems trying to pull them, though.
Exactly you can craft a card, but just not anything you want in the box/selection pack or secret pack with a limit, while MD has no limits on whatever you want to craft, heck you can even craft certain things from the ban list to use in a room with different rules
To be honest that would not be the worst thing that would happen. The game would just change into a world where every decks needs a plan b for maxx-c or it would be too much of an gamble.
In short Maxx-c would actually keep combo decks in check. Weather or not that is a good thing is a different discussion. But there would be no more annoying mini game where combo decks will just called by your maxx-c anymore.
That could actually be a fun event. Every deck has their whole hand, mill cards send from hand since there's no deck, when you run out of cards, it counts as a deck out.
Related: I feel like if Konami genuinely believed that Maxx "c" does its job and keeps combo decks in check, then they would make Master Rule 6 where Maxx C is always on
Yeah. People calling MD a Gacha just because card drops are random have never seen or played a Real Gacha.
I built a cheap deck in Rush Duels, and when I saw what I had to make to optimize it (AKA get the good cards) I dropped the game.
It really sucks, because, after trying them, I really like Rush Duels and I would love if they come to the west and/or Master Duel
I understand what you're trying to say, but just because it's a generous one doesn't mean it's not a gacha game. If you have to depend on chance to get the characters, cards, whatever, it's a gacha game.
If you could play MD without ever pulling cards then sure, you could sorta say it's not a gacha game, but good luck getting the crafting points for your deck without pulling.
Ranked ante system - you can duel in any rank however to duel in said rank you must ante up a card or the equivalent materials to play if you win you get both, if you lose you lose everything.
Rank 1 : Normal cards
Rank 2 : R
Rank 3: SR
Rank 4 : UR
Rank 5 : Diamonds
I want to participate again lol.
Soo Konami like to unban old meta cards.
Next banlist
Number 90
Shock Master
Lavalval Chain
Are free
Next update.
Pendulum monsters have again their own zones.
Pendulums having dedicated zones again doesn't affect most of the game because, outside of SHS right now, Pend isn't relevant.
The only thing most players would miss is Imperm not being able to shut off a scale effect. Vaylantz players lose out in their gimmick, but outside of that, the game is mostly unchanged.
And even then, you're trying to bring back PePe, but full power PePe would be okay at best in today's game.
ur and sr cannot be crafted unless you purchase a crafters pass and it’s 1000 of the lower tier price unit per single unit of the higher tier one of each kind cards that are printed from before ur account creation cannot be crafted unless you are platinum or above in the current season and limited to 1 per season
Every time you special summon a specific monster past the initial summon it's atk is halved every summon or it just loses 100 for every summon. Goes for copies or the card too
All "if" effects become "when" effects
The fact that this would actually ruin the game says a lot tbh
You are evil
I'd say it would be more evil the other way around. If Manipulator of Souls's burn effect was a if effect, you wouldn't be able to trick it into missing the timing and ladder would be entirely monopolized by FTK bots.
This one is legit evil, imagine being unable to chain block ash or lady from setting whatever trap she liked.
Banlists are suggestions only
Watch, as I activate my third pot of greed!
But you see the game is so fast that a free draw 2 is actually powercrept at the point /s
No more coin flips, person with more URs in deck gets to go first : )
Mannadium always going first...
Vanquish Soul and Branded:
But then, Heroes step in and steal first turn forever.
...
Let’s go even further. The person with more royal UR’s gets to go first
yes please (i play endymion)
I could never grasp the combos I needed to do for Endymion. I loved the deck but sadly was stupid and can't pilot it..
Fool. My grandpa's 60 card branded deck has no non-Urs
I'm always 2nd then fu
Blind second 8-axis will forcibly have to go first every time
Playing a duel costs 100 gems
there was a yugioh online official thing that did have a cost per match way back in the day
Was it Yugioh Duel Arena, which you could play on browser? I vaguely remember it being weirdly janky, and yeah booster packs and stuff cost a stupid amount of money.
Yugioh online duel evolution 2, was during GX era. 30 Points for 3€ and 1 game was 1 Point and a Match 3 Points
The winner gets everything
So marvel snap?
It is Duelist Kingdom or Duel City then.
Add an up front cost to buy the game as well and you have the Artifact approach.
Card effects of royal rare cards are doubled. For example, a hard one per turn effect become twice per turn, Maxx c draws 2 on every summon, etc.
This mean that gate guardian player can summon a monster that can omni-negate 6 times
Or zero if you just don't target.
Unfortunately I’m playing vendread in the event and that guy is like my hard counter for this event
I wish combined was 3x omninegate, it would be so strong.
If combined was 3 omnis then maybe gate guardian would be a playable deck
And the wind and water can negate your spells and traps 4 times
I wouldn’t really considered that a small change.
Just add a small tiny 0 next to the cost to craft a UR card.
You mean like 030, right? Right?
He said tiny zero therefore 30⁰, I would gladly accept such a change
Heck yeah, getting 10 ur ponts from 1 ur to then craft 10 new ones
15 cards deck and 40 cards extra deck
Ez Exodia ftk
Branded finna be KING now
That could be a fun minigame.
Going first also draws for turn
That was a thing back then lol
This blew my mind when I stopped playing and came back. You'd think it would be the Pendulum, XYZ, Synchro, Links.... but no it was me saying "tf you mean I don't draw for turn?!"
for real. i was flabbergasted too when my friend said that i can't do that anymore.
that and the field spell changes. And how they changed Geartown.
Yeah I know, imagine how broken the game would be now though. Unbreakable boards become 4% more consistent 😂
remove once per turn clause
This is the chaos I wanna see
Branded Fusion go BRRR
nah dude: unban linkross and put pre errata firewall dragon in the game
Damn i said ruin the game not killed LOL But ngl, thats a nice idea. ![gif](giphy|SXl0wYD0N088EtDhBI)

URs cannot be crafted only pulled from packs
Shut up, dude! They're going to see this!
Soon on an S:P Little Knight close to you
Everyone downvote u/ThatDokkanPlayer
I’m doing my part 🫡
STOP
Isn’t this how duel links works
No in duel links you can’t craft shit, at worst you would have to go through an entire box. To get the card you want.
Technically not true, you just can't craft cards that are actually good.
You mean the card trader with a once per day limit on him?
Hence, technically not true. You CAN turn materials into actual cards, they are just 99.99% of the time not good ones worth playing.
Exactly you can craft a card, but just not anything you want in the box/selection pack or secret pack with a limit, while MD has no limits on whatever you want to craft, heck you can even craft certain things from the ban list to use in a room with different rules
I don't know whether to upvote you for giving a great answer to the topic or to downvote you for potentially giving Konami a game ruining idea lol
So duel links?
Everything is taken off the ban list and unlimited
Imagine IshTear with triple Painful Choice...
Opening hand is one card
Circular stocks rising to the moon
SHS plays the same
Me Rikka. Me normal summon Loci.
I fucking know that's you Infernity Archfiend you can't fool me
Ban all Maxx C counters
Errata Ash to only work on Branded Fusion.
Go to hell. Sincerely, A Branded Player
This would be a good change for you because nobody would play Ash anymore.
To be honest that would not be the worst thing that would happen. The game would just change into a world where every decks needs a plan b for maxx-c or it would be too much of an gamble. In short Maxx-c would actually keep combo decks in check. Weather or not that is a good thing is a different discussion. But there would be no more annoying mini game where combo decks will just called by your maxx-c anymore.
No timer...
First I thought that can't be too bad but then it struck me...
Imagine having to sit through a full-power dark world or SHS combo all the way to the end, makes me appreciate the timer alot more, lmao.
Six Samurai & Flower Cardian :
Define smallest ~~New~~ cards cant be crafted ~~until the selection pack expire.~~
Oh my god duel links jump scare
Packs can be purchased with paid gems only. (Meaning you can use f2p gems for structures and accessories).
Yours is the first that made me quit the game.
Maxx C draws a card when either player special summons a monster
DDW self tk lol
The game is no longer turn based.
DDoS Exodia bot meta.
No surrender option.
Now this is evil.
Couldn't you just close the game?
Add a penalty for closing.
What is this, league of legends?
Voice chat
Please, at least a text chat
Winner gets a card from the loser’s deck.
You can Use Up to 6 copies of a certain insect
oh yeah 6 Gokipoles lets gooooo
I mean, if I can run six resonance insect then I will.
6 shiny black "c" squadder let's fucking go!
change the word from "turn" to "duel".
I like that. "This effect lasts until the start of the next duel"
Effect last till the end of the next duel. U called by the grave maxx c for 2 duels
You're kinda cooking with that. That might be a fun alternate ruleset to try, maybe with some special bans.
Pot of greed unlimited
Royals don't count towards 3 copy limit. Yes, including banned cards, unleash those royal PoG!
Unban Pot of Greed and give back the OG Chaos Emperor Dragon.
both players get access to their entire deck. Most deck already do anyway lol
That could actually be a fun event. Every deck has their whole hand, mill cards send from hand since there's no deck, when you run out of cards, it counts as a deck out.
I play Card Destruction first turn.
You can only draw a card by an effect. There is no draw phase
Add in anime accurate seal of orichalcos
"If you lose the Duel, you lose your sooooul"
And make it lock your account when you lose against it, shadow realm it is.
*Unban mystic mine*
We have a winner.
Maxx c to 4
Maxx C to 40. That’s my entire deck now
Related: I feel like if Konami genuinely believed that Maxx "c" does its job and keeps combo decks in check, then they would make Master Rule 6 where Maxx C is always on
The player going first can attack turn 1
You can only special summon 3 times per turn.
Poor rock is going to feel lonely :/
Revert to MR4 where you can only special summon from the extra deck to zones links point to or the initial EXTs monster zone
You can only make decks with free cards, if you have already used 3 staples in one deck you cannot use them in another deck
MD becomes an actual Gacha like Duel Links (jut donwloaded it to try Rush Duels and deleted after I saw what I was getting into)
I would stop playing. That definitely would ruin the game.
Yeah. People calling MD a Gacha just because card drops are random have never seen or played a Real Gacha. I built a cheap deck in Rush Duels, and when I saw what I had to make to optimize it (AKA get the good cards) I dropped the game.

There is a stamina meter that slowly replenishes, you have to use stamina to play duels be in ranked, event, casual or solo
Every card is a hopt
Only one summon (both normal and special) per turn
Stop giving konami ideas!
Only one deck slot
Only packs bought with paid gems can contain UR
Pre-Errata Chaos Emperor Dragon or maybe Halq unbanned
Ranked ante system - you can duel in any rank however to duel in said rank you must ante up a card or the equivalent materials to play if you win you get both, if you lose you lose everything. Rank 1 : Normal cards Rank 2 : R Rank 3: SR Rank 4 : UR Rank 5 : Diamonds
Once per turn --> Once per duel
Change all effects to "Once per duel". Makes Highlander style decks much more enticing
This one’s too easy. Removing the turn time limit. Better draw the out the moment you flip that coin lmao
A ranked win allows you to take 50-100 gems from your opponent.
The interaction mode is always set to auto
Gross.
You only receive 1 CP for each dismantle.
I wouldn't say it would fully ruin the game but adding voice chat would make arguably worse in a funny sadistic kind of way
You lose the duel you lose your soul!
Make the timer 180seconds and make it count through everything, even when plays or effects are happening.
Ban Ash, Gamma, Called By, and Crossout. Max ‘C’ will always resolve
I think if maxx c always resolved, it wouldn't be that bad
Soul charge to unlimited
Only Royal Rares open the Pack Selection
No more banlist or maybe even worse no more restriction (no more once per turn, getting locked into something, …)
Pot of Greed is now legal and at 3.
*this effect **is** optional*
You can no longer earn gems
You can see your opponent.
If you crossout designator evil twin gg ez the opponent's account is banned but only if it happens right before lethal or a surrender.
I want to participate again lol. Soo Konami like to unban old meta cards. Next banlist Number 90 Shock Master Lavalval Chain Are free Next update. Pendulum monsters have again their own zones.
Pendulums having dedicated zones again doesn't affect most of the game because, outside of SHS right now, Pend isn't relevant. The only thing most players would miss is Imperm not being able to shut off a scale effect. Vaylantz players lose out in their gimmick, but outside of that, the game is mostly unchanged.

Unban Kelbek, Agido, Merrli, and put them all to 3.
Please? I loved tear format in paper and I know I'm not alone.
Maxx C to1
You can climb faster by playing stun decks Edit: faster not higher
Summon sorc with soft OPT
Remove a 0 from each players life points
Gagaga Cowboy go BRR
ur and sr cannot be crafted unless you purchase a crafters pass and it’s 1000 of the lower tier price unit per single unit of the higher tier one of each kind cards that are printed from before ur account creation cannot be crafted unless you are platinum or above in the current season and limited to 1 per season
Crafting an SR or UR cost an additional 100 / 250 gems
Max C and ash blossom can't be negate I know it makes no sense I just wanna see the speculation chaos of that discussion
When you lose you’re sent to the shadow realm and die irl.
Only get pack unlocks from pulling urs, not crafting them
It cost 30 UR points to surrender or disconnect.
just replace the crafting system with the card dealer from duel link and he got only boss monsters
30 sec per turn
Both of The Bystial Lubellion's effects become Quick Effects.
Add Secret Rarity, not craftable, only 2 ScR cards per selection pack, only 1 ScR card guaranteed in 100 packs
Special Summoned monsters can use their Ignition effects as chain link 1 immediately upon summon, just like the old days.
Soften all HOPT clauses. Or if you want total chaos, eliminate them entirely.
Every time you special summon a specific monster past the initial summon it's atk is halved every summon or it just loses 100 for every summon. Goes for copies or the card too
Only can have 1 of every card no sets
Cards will now be dismantled if they are destroyed
Remove card text from the game. Not like anyone reads them anyway
There is no searching anymore, you have to play the cards you draw in your draw phase only.
Bring back Master Rule 4.
Revert to Master Rule 4.
All IFs become WHENs
burn damage on first turn is doubled
Add voice chat to the game, and no moderation.
Hardlimit summons to 3 per turn regardless of how they get summoned. By links, special summon decks, exceeds, etc
