the real killer of yugioh

God I still can't get over the fact that retard seriously tried to argue that Duel Masters had rotation, pivoted to it "having a format with rotation in it", then pivoted again to it "basically having rotation through le powercreep", to "well actually Duel Master Play's has rotation in it because a guy told me they briefly flirted with the idea and I was too retarded to read the part where he said they stopped the rotation idea". Kinda incredible having to backpedal no less than four times and then just keep going so you can try and chutzpah Yugioh players into not finding the very concept of rotation abhorrent.
I was gonna go make fun of that guy that claimed Rikka Princess wasn't good without Konkon like it's not a busted CaC for the vast majority of decks but that dude really takes the cake for most retarded nigger last thread.

It's 7AM in London so he probably woke up not that long ago.

to kill the discussion yugioh is on a state that if you do a set rotation its going to die even faster than Links era because you will be betraying the little trust your fanbase have and the biggest advantage of YGO over other games. Hell every year season would be a tearlaments kashtira snake eyes cathastrophe.
Genesys its unironically a good idea that is going to help in the long run only IF KONAMI invest again in an anime/games to attract casuals again.

I have to ask but why do we have this one retard that seems to think any sort of argumentative post is automatically Son or Maze regardless of what topic it's about? You can quite literally talk about the game and some faggot will think you're secretly Maze talking about uhhhh Yugioh that isn't kvetching about Maliss hits. Do you need to attach "Pendulum is a shit mechanic for a shit show, and Rikka and Maliss are for literal troons" onto all of your posts or something?
>>541518615
Yeah, I actually was very briefly in I think around 2020 kinda big into Magnet Warriors, I remember trying to make it work and constantly talking about it on and off about the imports they could do like Miracle Dig or how something like Fossils or the GX/Zexal Magnets could help bolster it and kinda just fell off on it as my expectations died down.

Actually now that I think about it when was the last time Maze made a post that wasn't just him weeping about how nobody likes Maliss and/or attached AI-generated garbage as an image
>>541519354
To be fair they also got rid of Animation Chronicles, I guess there's nothing Konami hates more than having to print new cards, since they replaced one of the SD slots for Tactical Try Decks and introduced Tactical Try Packs with only 2 new cards for each archetype and The Chronicles Deck also with 2 new cards
They sure do love their "only 2 new cards" shtick huh

>>541519416
Konami doesn't call the shots or even own the IP. TV Tokyo/Shueisha are the ones that do.

>>541519416

Just make a shonen yugioh anime without animating every card or combos. Just waste the budget in the fight scenes between monsters , just like how DL only the aces get animation.

He didn't help Arc-V because he was busy with DSOD, not because Shueisha said no.

It's funny because both MtG and Pokemon stagnated for years after introducing set rotation. People really fucking hate it when you tell them that their cards have become worthless overnight. YGO would likely not survive set rotation by this point.

Even the Japanese have accepted this is a closed game going forward.

There isn't going to be a new anime.
They aren't going to "fix" the game (whatever that means).
There won't be any meaningful push to grow the game.

The game will continue to pander exclusively to the playerbase it currently has until they all die out (and that's a good thing).

And just like the physical game, Konami ruined it with Synchros. Duel Links was a lot better during its DM and GX eras. They had newer cards, but still had simplified mechanics. It was something completely unique from the physical DM and GX cardpools.

I think one overlooked thing about the Arc-V backlash is that unironically a lot of the jap viewers submitting and writing furious feedback were still only teenagers at the time of airing. They wouldn't have seen many other long tv shows before then, where they sit with one cast of characters and their story for that length of time so they felt every betrayal more strongly.
Fusion was throwing around like 5 absurdities per minute, but it was kind of weird that they simultaneously seemed to care about giving Yuri a good showing in those circumstances while the previous undeniable top favorites like Shun was so downplayed. Other stories of writers having pet favorites in action shows usually said the favored one doesn't change

Links is literally the easiest mechanic in the game, it's basically tribute summoning but in the extra deck.
Boomers just hate it because it's the eternal latest mechanic. If it was introduced between 5D's and Zexal they'd love it.

>>541521976
Ideas are only good if they're official. If KoA announced a rotating standard format, every person arguing against it right now would immediately turn heel and defend it as brilliant.

Some nigger on YT had the idea for a point system format like Genesys, and the entire player base dog piled him and called the idea stupid. Now you have the same people turning around and pretending it's genius.

>>541522174
Just try explaining link bullshit to a non-card game player. All the new summoning mechanics were what made Yugioh less and less friendly to new players.

>>541522203
Yugioh players have battered woman syndrome

>>541522203
Unironically this. There are way too many unofficial formats, and most players generally won't be interested in commiting themselves to just more fanmade shit.

>>541522203
The implication here is that if there was a format where only every card released between DUNE and ALIN it would be heralded as brilliant and not a nightmarishly bad and retarded decision which is a very funny implication given there's been people that have continually talked about Yugioh's sealed experience being antithetical to draft and set rotation just further exemplifying that problem
Can't wait to play uhhh the INFO Gimmick Puppets without any of the other Gimmick Puppet cards

>>541522263
I still don't understand what a Syncro monster is actually supposed to be, lore-wise. The concept of tuners and levels bringing out white cards from the ED makes zero sense.

Fusions and Rituals by comparison, make sense. Evolutions like DM/Pokemon, MtG, makes sense. Hyper Space monsters, make sense.

All the ED mechanics in Yu-Gi-Oh, make zero sense, outside of Fusion, and even with Fusion, cards like Thunder Dragon Colossus, Phantom of Yubel, or even Kitkallos, don't make sense.

>>541522373
>There are way too many unofficial formats
And how many of those utilize rotation and not just post-hoc balancing around the existing card pool because they're not in control of designing cardboard? Wow and now you can probably figure out why KoA's alt format doesn't work like rotation and neither KoA or KoJ are willing to overhaul card design and reboot the game solely to try and jam a design space they never intended for the game to have

>>541521680

it's on the same tier as synchro (you need a thing for the summon and it checks levels, gy rulings. oh look, you only pendulum once so it less of a burden.) And easier than xyz

>>541522503
Just try teaching modern Yugioh to players who haven't played Yugioh before and see what their reactions are, I fucking dare you.

>>541522387
The implication here is that the rotating format would be of lower power level, and cards would designed for a lower power level, reducing power creep.

It's too late to add rotation though. It should have been done at the start of the syncro era. The power level of the current game is way too high for rotation to fix anything. I'm just criticizing idiots who pretend Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't have pseudo rotation, or that the way Konami handles things is OBJECTIVELY inferior to just have a rotating standard format.

>>541522552
The differences in format quality doesn't matter, people aren't gonna recognize that since they all just look like a bunch of made-up formats people came up with since they aren't officially recognized.

>>541522552
Rotation doesn't do anything if you're not also in charge of designing the cards, you stupid dumbass. The whole POINT of rotation is for it to dictate card design.

Konami is a VIDEO GAME company. The people who created ygo (for the first gameboy) games were VIDEO GAME designers. Play any ygo sim/game and that becomes immediately obvious. If somebody is interested in ygo tell them to play any of the DS games.

>>541522468
It's because Synchro and the shit that came after it make no sense. At least with Fusion
>DM + Buster Blader = Dark Paladin, a monster that resembles the two of them
>Avian + Burstinatrix = FW (and others), monsters that resemble them
etc.
But with Synchro and Xyx (unless it's in theme boss monsters) you can literally synchro a chair with a candle and get a dragon and this somehow makes sense.
You overlay a wolf and a beaver and you get a robot. To me this was when Yugioh lost its soul.

>>541522662
You're saying that as if the most popular format in MtG wasn't fan made.

>>541521976
because link power creep and pendulum nonsense don't help the game at all. Both are complicated mechanics with the compromise of a better balance with the points. Its basically mid table.

>>541522631
>please completely overhaul game space and reboot the game so you can implement this contentious form of design into your card game that you have never once even remotely considered
>also please just ignore that legacy support is a concept Yugioh just happily vomits out like nobody's business and set rotation is entirely antithetical to the idea of massive amount of archetypes that Yugioh has been designed around
I think asking for Set Rotation to be the norm in Yugioh is a great thing to request for if you hate Yugioh and want it to finally die
Might as well ask for Konami to pivot card design around Battle Pack format

>>541522468
>I still don't understand what a Syncro monster is actually supposed to be, lore-wise
I don't think that there is an actual explanation (Accel Synchro being a different method only muds the water more.)
Pendulum is easier. it's just two monsters making a column that marks a line for a magical pendulum to draw a summoning circle. you then use the summoning circle

>Wow and now you can probably figure out why KoA's alt format doesn't work like rotation and neither KoA or KoJ are willing to overhaul card design and reboot the game solely to try and jam a design space they never intended for the game to have
Please read the entirety of the post before you comment, you look like a dumbass. Yes, anon, set rotation does in fact require the entire game be shifted around designing for it, which is why it's a completely antithetical idea to Yugioh and how Yugioh has been designed for years

>>541522734
this too. I don't actually associate yugioh with the tcg/ocg

>>541522582
It's actually genuinely funny you should say that because yesterday i bought 2 bewd structures (every mechanic except pend) to duel with my brother and introduce him to the game, he genuinely thinks synchro is the most difficult mechanic (in summoning conditions and also what the monsters do) ritual is his favourite (loves chaos MAX) and he made no comment about links, he just understood it. 1 guy for spirit, 2 for spheres, easy

>>541522559
oh yeah because synchro monsters go to the ED after dying or they have an special zone in the mt right tardo?

>>541522849
I think that if you make my arguments for me, it really is easy for you to say what you want.

Tell me where I was "asking for rotation." Go ahead.


If you truly want to know what I want, I want a fucking reboot if the card game a la Shadowverse evolve that just takes things back to the DM era type stuff, but with far more polish, and 30 years of experience designing a TCG. High PL that GOAT format, but with the same sort of vibe, and fully focused on DM ideas and aesthetics. And this reboot having both an Eternal and a Standard rotating format to unsure the game doesn't power creep itself to shit again.

This may particularly surprise you, but set rotation is an entirely different beast to alt format where the idea is lower powered games with currently existing cardboard. One is "Here's a format where you can Radiant Typhoon or Ghoti or some shit and not immediately get your ass kicked", the other is "please reboot the entire fucking game and then implement set rotation to that reboot" which is why that is exactly what you are suggesting. Set Rotation isn't "le alt format with block-based legal cardboard" it's a design philosophy the ENTIRE card game has to be designed around which is why Yugioh players do not want it

Once you accept this game is at the mercy of KoJ and the inscrutable, Japanese executive mind you stop caring so much. Nothing KoA does matters. The entire TCG is a hallucination by Tewart and Jerome. Meaningful change only happens when Japan wants it (which means never).

You can fix that with standard rotation. :^)

>>541523363
>We didnt even have real tangible long term rules till Battle City.
manga rules were easy to understand. it simply had three formats during Duelist Kingdom
terrain based format, proto-duel disk format and basic bitch-ass format. the anime poisoned the well by fucking up the formats. this is the reason why retards make videos about how the yugioh anime had cheating

>>541523397
>every single card must mill, or do something when it's milled, or both
fuck this faggot deck and anyone who enjoyed it. If your locals playerbase is anything like mine, people who still talk about how great Tear format was were people who job constantly, and liked having a deck that couldn't lose to anything but its mirror.

>>541523397

Why do you continue to use nonsensical circular arguments instead of engaging with the main point?

Here's my fucking counterpoint you pedantic dumbass. Do you think the way Yu-Gi-Oh is designed has been the same for 25 years?

>>541523526
I'm older than this fucking game. It never resembled the anime. The closest we ever got with the original 3 to the game being nearly 1:1 with the anime was 5Ds. I bet this is nothing more than a rose tinted view of your years in Elementary playing with random rules based on stuff you saw in the anime and not actually what the game was being played at in card shops. What in DM/GX even remotely mirrored the actual game during their eras?
>>541523598
None of which were ported to the actual game barring the Field spells being used as passive effects with DND tier nonsense for the excitement.

>>541522785
Only because WotC finally officially recognized, promoted and supported it. Look at the rest of the fanmade formats, those only get played by YouTubers from time to time. The actual player counts of those ones are way lower.

Just import Rush Duels

>>541523778
>older than this fucking game
BullSHIT you are. You definitely didn't play during DM era if that's what you think.

Asking for an official KoA spinoff TCG based around set rotation as their own take on RUSH would come across as less inane than "please suicidebomb your entire TCG so you can properly implement highly contentious design space that you have never once worked with in your life on the offchance this works in bringing yugiboomers and newfags and if it fails you just immediately die for no reason because you put your eggs into one highly volatile basket to satiate a small group of the mentally handicapprd"

>>541522734
DS controls on the emulators can be pretty confusing for people who've never played the DS, though. One of the ones for the platforms with single screens and maybe less buttons might be better.

>>541523821
>Rush Duels
One of the biggest fumbles in this game's history. I don't think even Konami knows what the point or long term goals of Rush is.

Oh and it still sucks.

>>541523829
>ignores the question entirely

>>541523829
Why would I engage with nonsense when your opening statement is evidently a lie?

>>541523156
Time Wizard had a of players and was growing, but Konami discontinued it since it was losing then money since players didn't buy any cards from them to play in it.

Oh this nigger is just starting shit for the sake of it. Got it.

>>541523940
Rush Duel feels like a compromise. It probably began as a genuine attempt at a reboot like Shadowverse or Digimon did, but Konami execs forced it to be something else.

>>541523709
Yugioh has never once been designed around set rotation or the idea of set rotation being a standardized practice. The DM era was very much a point in time they had no idea what they were doing, and it's very obvious ever since 5ds they've heavily pivoted their focus around constant stream of archetypes and legacy support while the power level continues to rise and have never once looked back.
Why do you feel the need that Konami must suicidebomb their game for a retarded hailmary attempt at appeasing you and maybe getting boomers and newfags into it
It's pretty telling there are ways for Konami to experiment with set rotation that isn't suicidal but you feel inclined that everyone must kowtow to your retarded asinine beliefs

>>541523397
This. Modernfags are delusional.

remember that time when Yugi Yatalock Bakura? very close to the anime yup yup
Or that time Jonouchi used that Magical Scientist FTK.
The game was always close to the anime.

>>541523043
Show him the anime clips. They genuinely do a good explanation with the scenes and dialogues.

>>541523213
>even remotely resemble the manga/anime
It never did. Most of the duels in Duel Monsters and GX were pretty much made for a spectacle when the actual game had long outsped the anime portrayal. Kaz pretty much made art and helped with the story but it wasnt till 5Ds where they finally decided to try and align the duels closer to what was intended. No one but little kids played like Yugi or Jaden.

>>541523254
THIS!!!!!

>>541523043
>Ritual is his favorite but finds Synchros hard
Synchros are effectively just streamlined Rituals with Tuners being more generic Ritual Spells with better overall use for a myriad of decks. How old is your brother? Hope he's having fun playing wiht his sibling.

>>541524280
als more soulless

>>541524138
Japanese players once said that YGO puts out its own official disinformation regardingthe game and how its played. Perhaps that's for the better considering Rush is the game and the anime being aligned.

>>541523213
Holy secondary zoomer who wasnt there for the 2000s era of Yugioh

>>541523328
No but we needed a movie of kaibawank.
And i say we still need 10 more.

>>541524108
Card games are never "designed around set rotation" you disingenuous dumbass. I already made this exact point earlier on in the thread. It's embraced early on in the game's life cycle to mitigate power creep, and then the game's design pivots toward it. There are severa points in Yu-Gi-Oh's life where it could have easily adopted set rotation, such as: Chaos Format, GX era. Start of Syncro Era. Hell, even after XYZ. But they never did, likely due to fear of backlash, and the further entrenched the game became, the harder it became to do. But several MR changes and every new mechanic was their way of trying to do a format rotation in their own way. If anything, the 6 protagonists and the fact that every consecutive anime season tended to completely ignore the trademark mechanics of the era before it, PROVES Yu-Gi-Oh was indeed primed for standard rotation MULTIPLE times. The reason it didn't was because either due to greed or incompetence, Konami did not want to split it's formats like MtG does, which ultimately proved to be the worst decision possible.

>>541524312
sadly for you 5Ds and Synchro are one of the defining mechanics of Yugioh alongside Fusion. Yugi was the first but when it comes to iconic faces of summoning mechanics its Judai (Fusion) and Yusei (Synchro). Most people dont even think of Yuma, Yuya or Yusaku or even align them with their respective summonic mechanic.

>>541524280
It's the concept of tuners he doesn't get. I mean he gets it but it feels weird/arbitrary to him which monsters are tuners and which are not.
He likes rituals because the cards look cool rather than the mechanic, gotta agree colored cards in main deck hit different.
He's 19

>>541524494
no matter how hard you try. synchro will never be original yugioh

>>541524035
and thats fair. They were playing in a dead format on a loop. Its a dead end for KONAMI thas the point.

>>541524343
Not since Go Rush when they introduced both overpowered game-original archetypes and main game/old anime imported decks+support.

>>541524521
I should add he tried to synchro summon the level 12 bewd synchro with lord of D. + Bewd. Got pissed when i told him lord of d. Isn't a tuner

>>541524581
Konami could have very easily designed and printed a set exclusively for Time Wizard. Nothing stopping them from doing that.

>>541524521
>>541524626
I would say use the Tuner being similar to the Ritual Spells to sort of get him to understand.
>19
Have fun with your little bro man. Wish I had a little brother but only have sisters and female cousins who never showed interest in my hobbies. Get him some cheaper Ritual Decks to get him to learn.
>>541524554
DM, GX and 5Ds are the Original Timeline and considered the Original Game by the vast majority of its players. If you dont like you do you I guess.

>>541524626
LOOOOOL

>>541524626
Show him 5D's clips. They always specify in scenes that they're summoning a Tuner monster, and they're using the Tuner monster to tune the non-tuner monsters to call forth a Synchro Monster.

>>541524343
they cannot represent the game in the anime at all because it clashes with how fast it goes because no resources. The closest anime/card game we got was Vrains and those turns lasted like 10 min wiith the spam. Its no wonder they used speed duels.Its no wonder why that show was utterly boring to watch.

>>541524626
It's because Tuners aren't intuitive and their connection to Syncro makes zero sense.

>>541524654
You do understand that is a one time deal right? You can't keep reprinting the same old staples over and over. That's why Konami will never embrace time wizard.

>>541524723
it's because they weren't part of the game and were just tacked on as the new gimmick

>>541524762
When did I say "reprint" read more carefully.

>>541524654
>set exclusively for Time Wizard.
so you want them to power creep old formats so everyone plays the same decks?
WOTC raping EDH worked because that shit its a casual game , not a competitive one.

>>541524668
>>541524685
Scenes of 5D's clips would easily explain Synchro Summoning. The duel dialogue in the anime in general likes to explain in detail what they're doing with every play.

>Son raging again
lmao why does he have such a hate boner for anything related to 5Ds?

>>541524723
It's easily understood if you watch 5D's or at least see 5D's clips because of how they always explain how they're summoning a tuner and using it to tune.

I never understood why people wanted Konami to embrace retro formats in the first place. It's a community format, who cares. Retro formats are doing really well in Japan and it's not like Konami has commented on it. Card shops benefit because they can sell more singles + get more traffic, players get another way to play and Konami can throw the occasional reprint in a side set. That's fine, you don't need Edison events.

541524847
bad show

>>541524801
It's not the main format, you don't need to power creep it. Simply print support for the weakest decks so they're more viable, and make sure none of the new cards surpass the power level if the established Meta. Essentially, treat Goat format like an LCG and be very deliberate and precise with the cards you design to inject fresh new ideas since you don't NEED to power creep the game every three months to push new product, the stagnant nature of the format means people would be inclined to try stuff like that.

>>541524882

Reminder that all the naming scheme and concepts of Synchros is just related to traditional mechanics, the concept of hard light and the nuclear sciences

>>541524970

thats not how KONAMI works anon , they are making new powercreep cards to 3 or 2 themes so they can sell them and everyone will be playing those. If not who is buying that product?
This is the same problem legacy support suffer. Support is mid? who cares? on par with the meta? who cares? its busted? BUY BUY

"Actually, Magic the Gathering isn't designed around Set Rotation at all"
Also lmao that this retard is going "you have to reboot the game and have entire control over card design for set rotation to work, but no it's not a conscious decision you have to design around after implementing it". Sounds like the "disingeneous retard" is just you projecting.
Also Zexal very much implemented Synchros in the actual game format after its initial hatred, both Arc-V and VRAINS attempted to implement the previous mechanics sans VRAINS exclusion of Pends

because the card game copied the gameboy game. other than the new rules, duel monster is basically based on the basic format. mind you, that game was published right before Chaos Soldier debut (Yugi vs Mai). BLS was actually created for the game. right in 1998 and right when the basic format was being written, right before yugi vs pegasus.

A new Yugioh anime could probably rip off an ancient game like Shadow Hearts that was known for its plot hooks and get away with it. There was a brief period where it felt like some number of anime and some vidya were genuinely trying hard to think of unusual or moodier plot hooks, regardless of how they turned out later on

>>541525792
Best i can do is 5 minute flopisodes on youtube

>>541525497
No, you fucking retard, Synchros were balanced because you had to draw the tuner, just like you had to draw the high level Tribute Summon monster like before.
Links are retarded because you can make them just by spamming anything.

>>541525749
Bitch, I was telling them that the anime does a real good job at explaining how Synchro Summoning works because both the dialog and the visuals together make it all look pretty intuitive compared to some guy in front of you talking to about cardboard.

>>541525986
don't need to draw the tuner if I can just use my link-1 :)

links are the most balanced mechanic

>>541526106
And that's exactly what I was talking about with Links being stupidly generic bullshit.

>>541526119
*least

Links saved yugioh after pend almost killed it.

>require 2 specific monsters and a copy of polymerization
>require a specific ritual monster, its ritual spell, and level fodder equal to said monsters
>require a tuner monster and a non-tuner monster
>require two monsters with the same level
>require two pendulum monsters, with different pendulum scales, placed in pendulum scale zones, that fit the range of what you're trying to pendulum summon
>require two, sometimes just one, monster(1)

>>541526237
The Link exodus was way bigger than the previous Pendulum exodus. Pretty impressive how Links managed to somehow top that, actually.

>>541526280
The problem with Yugioh is that they always make up ways to cheat established mechanics and invalidate their original identities.

Links was quite literally half of what was responsible for nearly killing the entire Japanese TCG market

>>541526339
That was solely due to MR4 being retarded.

>>541525986
>Synchros were balanced because you had to draw the tuner
you call that balance? lmao. cards are tuners for free, that ain't balance. the flaw only propelled decks to find a way to summon and summon (looking at you ice barrier synchros)
i don't want to sound like alporia but that shit killed interest in the modern game
and if there were balanced to begin with, they all would have checked for types. look at goyo guardian, a clear victim of your balance

>541526237
hey retard
Link shock was so bad other OCG companies were worried that the card market was going to die on japan.

It's pretty interesting to think that Duel Master's solution to Pendulums where it's either a summonable monster or a Normal spell that you activate then send to the GY would be kinda redundant in Yugioh given that a card discarding itself for effect basically does the same thing, although I guess it would lend itself for a more Archfiend Eccentrick kinda design.
And then Duel Masters tried to implement mass summons from the Extra Deck of Pends mixed with the RNG of Tearlaments and it and Links nearly killed the idea of TCGs in Japan

We need to double down on complexity instead. Release a new summoning mechanic.

>>541526824

Konami have plenty of opportunities for revitalization, but ALWAYS fuck it up and its almost always nearly uncontrollable due to the intense powercreep from the main game spreading to the others like an infection.
Duel Links got released as unironic boomer yugioh. Then because they had to add more and more cards, they had to add the powercrept bullshit, making it no longer appeal to the people it is meant to.
Master Duel got released and it caused a massive influx of new and returning players, but they swiftly realized that the game has majorly changed and nothing about it actually accepts people wanting to play old Yugioh, so they left in droves.
And now we have Genesys, which I firmly believe will go the same route. People join to experience lower power Yugioh but the actual power level is still majorly high to the point where shittier decks that never felt the spotlight can still never do so, and so people will realize it is fruitless to try.

By the time Master Duel came around, Duel Links was only popular because it was the only choice to play the game online with people that wasn't locked behind a Switch game or something.
The fact people immediately hopped ship meant that Duel Links was worth abandoning. It's popularity was only due to necessity.
If Konami tomorrow released an EDOPro equivalent, people would abandon Master Duel for it too

I love how the video doesn't actually come to any good conclusion on either side.
>You don't have to use Set Rotation, Yugioh has seen success without it!
>Yugioh is also COMPLETELY fucked with powercreep
I'm of the opinion that set rotation is not a viable idea without OCG backing, so something like a TCG alt format cannot work with it. The best cards in the game are already the most recent ones that wouldn't be rotated out, so all you would be doing is experiencing the worst parts of Yugioh without any of the tools from the past that they have been designed to lose to.
For set rotation to work, Konami would also need designers to get a fucking grip. You'd need reboot-levels of reverse power creep and hard limits on what a card is allowed to do in order to get the game back on track. Unfortunately, Konami's designers are constantly in 1 of 2 modes: Either they overbalance cards for some bizarre reason making them worthless instead of balanced, or they overpower cards to make them sell and make them the strongest instead of balanced.

All i'm going to ask is a simple yes or no question, would set rotation fix and prevent everything that came before?
Because to me it seems like YGO was always a broken ass game from day 1, you guys just grew old to realize your shitty playschool rules meant dick.

Oh and let me guess, because this is Soundwave pointing out the fatal flaws of haphazardly adding set rotation to a game that clearly would've been broken even with set rotation, that means you won't even give me a simple yes or no and you'll double down on your foolishness.
I forgot the kind of thread i'm in.

>>541534625
It might've restrained some powercreep in the sense that powerful cards others tried to beat would be illegal to use.
A lot of Konami design decisions are made as a result of what came before. The entire Xyz ignoring Synchro thing was because Synchros became so dominant of a force, with rotation less Synchros would be playable and as a result less oppressive. A rotation Zexal era might've had a solid mix of Xyz and Synchro.
MR4 likely would not have needed the EMZ restriction for other mechanics when other mechanics were generally kept in check by rotation.
BUT
Konami designers are still Konami designers. I could also see a world where nothing changes because Konami designers powercreep at a rate faster than the rotation restrains, causing old shit decks to rotate out and the new, strong, powerful decks remain on top like nothing changed.

All i asked was a yes or a no, either way i forgot to point out another major flaw, one that is far more unnoticeable
>YGO's greatest feat since day 1 was being a manga/anime where the merchandise was shit you could actually play and SIMULATE THE DAMN ANIME'S DUELS unlike all the magical girl or mecha shit that was just vibrating wands or fragile plastic models
>Go on and decide to not print cards to be 1:1 with the anime, on top of leaving so many things unprinted for years even when said cards didn't have super complicated effects (i.e. that trap that changes Graveyard types)
>Also decide it would be funny for anime decks to be also their own form of powercreep (something Arc-V did in spades as damn near every anime archetype from Arc-V rampantly accelerated the game even at a casual level where you could DIE if you let petdecky shit like RR, Fluffal, Lunalight, SHS to go haywire as it somehow racked 10,000 dmg in a single turn. Something not even Skull servants could do as well at the time)
I know people say YGO needs an anime to survive, but all i see from YGO having an anime right now is to have the same shit like Tearlaments or Diabell or all that gay shit be introduced anyways, Oh but let me guess, because you guys get a low quality anime (just like all anime shit since 10 years ago) and it features your not so favorite cards have some gook say chuuni shit, now it is okay for tears to assfuck the game because Shitkallos' boobs got animated.

It's a no to fixing everything but its a yes to fixing some things.

I enjoy the anime and having the chuuni shit being said and the summoning and battle animations being made. As for the cards themselves afterwards, I couldn't fucking care. If Tear was an anime deck, I would still be fine with them being banned the fuck out, I can still enjoy the summoning scenes and anime duels

ngl, but I kinda dislike Radiant Typhoon getting Links, it just doesn't really thematically fit with the deck, I know it's a terrible idea, but they should have unironically gotten a Ritual Monster and Spell, especially since they have a monster that grabs 2 cards from Deck

>>541537123
>it just doesn't really thematically fit with the deck
why not?

>>541536936
This better be good!

>>541537229
Shit deck cant be play in Genesys

>>541536936
What did MST.deck do again outside of making MST a negate?

>>541537123
Shinobird already does the wind ritual thing.

>>541537123
With the best uses for the deck so far being going into Mouser or Rubber Band, it feels natural that they'd get their own link 2.

Radiant Typhoon Varuroon, the Sea Spirit
WIND LINK-2 Aqua Link Effect Monster
2 "Radiant Typhoon" monsters
You can only use the (1)st, (2)nd, and (3)rd effect from this card's name once per turn.
(1) If this card is Link Summoned: You can add 1 "Mystical Space Typhoon" from your Deck or GY to your hand.
(2) You can target 2 face-up monsters on the field, including 1 "Radiant Typhoon" monster you control; place them face-up in their owner's Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell.
(3) If you activate a Quick-Play Spell: You can place 1 "Radiant Typhoon" Trap from your Deck or GY face-up to your field.

Radiant Typhoon High Spirits
QUICK-PLAY SPELL CARD
(1) Activate 1 of these effects (but you can only choose each effect from "Radiant Typhoon High Spirits" once per turn);
Special Summon 1 Level 6 or lower "Radiant Typhoon" monster from your GY.
Add 1 "Mystical Space Typhoon" from your Deck or GY to your hand.
(2) If this card is destroyed by the effect of "Mystical Space Typhoon": You can Set this card.

>>541537272
I love how prior to Genesys the meme was that every deck should have a clone of Striker Dragon to be meta but thanks to Genesys, Link support is seen as useless.

>>541537229
Well I mean typical Link decks are based around the idea of swarming the board with a bunch of material since the "balancing" around Links is that they typically necessitate the most amount of material per the summoning mechanics, Fusions needs 2+ monsters and a Fusion Spell usually, Rituals need fodder, the monster and the Ritual Spell, Synchros need a Tuner and a Non-Tuner, and Xyzs need matching Levels, etc. Link-2s were what they gave random archetypes as legacy support in MR4, by comparison, something like Radiant Typhoon made years after it feels kinda a weird direction to give it a cope link-2, it doesn't feel like the sorta deck prone to flooding the board for link spam or even really touches the ED outside of general toolboxing, so it comes across as a random ED card they incidentally have

>>541537123
>I kinda dislike Radiant Typhoon getting Links, it just doesn't really thematically fit with the deck
The deck is a mishmash of lvl 3, 6, 9 with no tuners. a link is the most reasonable thing for them to get.

>>541537462
these are terrible.

>>541537462
Seems ok, but it doesn't really improve the ceiling on this deck.

>>541537596
Lots of link strategies don't revolve around spamming the board with material

I haven't played since Lab was top tier someone give me a quick rundown on how the current meta decks play I want to pick one up

>>541537704
There's three Level 3 starters, 1 Level 6, and 2 Level 9s that recur themselves from GY, you could certainly justify Xyzs or even giving it a Level 3 Tuner monster to let it access the Level 6 and 9 pool
Also it doesn't help that the Link isn't anything to write home about

>>541537930
which format?
Advanced, or Genesys?

>>541537930
>I haven't played since Lab was top tier
So you've never played at all?

Remember the retard that was screeching how he didn’t want new Lunalight support because for some reason it wouldn’t help the deck or whatever inane bs he came up with? Who was that? And he has gone really silent ever since cards got revealed.
