@fishsticks the actual gameplay is actually pretty unique and fun compared to other card games i tried, but it doesn't do any format rotations, every card that's ever printed and not banned is playable and they make and let extremely broken cards live for months to sell packs, and some old cards that are broken as shit never get hit either even though everyone and their grandma know they're bad
Well the issue is that yugioh fundamentally is a bandaid game. It wasn't designed as a real game to be played in real life. Bandaid solutions are applied constantly until you get what we have now. I genuinely don't understand why they don't do format rotations and just keep the current format with the crazy ban list as a secondary format as people clearly don't like it. It's one thing if you're a new game and scared of rotations (rotations usually kill games that aren't heavily prepared for it) but I seriously doubt it would hurt yugioh.
@Zero :zt_think: :artix: @fishsticks There isn't another TCG like Yugioh in all the ways it's good and bad. Everything is held together precariously by most cards only being allowed to use their effects once per turn and it results in really explosive games that revolve around someone building a board of interactions and their opponent trying to maneuver around them to win.
Konami is on crack with their banlists and new card releases though. All 3 of the main ones have some cards that absolutely deserve to be banned that aren't.
I always thought that Yugioh would be super popular among lawyers for those reasons.
