I loved & played Yu-Gi-Oh! for years man! I quit several years ago, however, because the game hit a point where it was no longer fun to play. I only got to really play in tournaments & of course the meta was so completely broken that you either played a meta deck or you just didn't play... The game turned into solitaire & I just couldn't stand it anymore! So I quit & never looked back. Frankly, there are days where I want to play again, but I just can't get over how much absolute bullshit ensued & I just don't want to subject myself to that kind of torture again. I'm already dealing with self-loathing & I don't need to subject myself to anymore masochism...

If you enjoy it, great! I'm happy for you. I wish I could enjoy it again, but Yu-Gi-Oh! is dead to me & that's my take. Feel free to ignore me.

Either way, God bless!

I think that’s a perfectly fine take and yeah maybe it’s just the trend of card games to become over complicated and kinda busted over time.

Also, sphere mode is hilarious especially when you have ra. I just never used phoenix mode because it was too much text for me to try and figure out. The it’s time to dddduel is some high power nostalgia.

I think I’ve watched some of their stuff and slider control seems like it’d be really fun to pull off in a dedicated deck. I think burial mound of the creators of whatever their field card is might offer them some limited protection which would help.

I remember using it, there’s also the true name I think which is a gimmicky way to search them out or maybe just ra I think. I mainly like using metal slime then fusing it into Egyptian god slime since it’s pretty beefy and if they don’t have an out you can just stall with it until you get one of the gods. I also ran there can only be one I’m pretty sure as a flood gate but it had the annoying drawback of blocking slime from fusing making bringing out the god cards impossible though it did a good job of halting other decks. If your looking for a decent deck other than god cards, trap trix are really fun there’s just something satisfying about seeing a key piece or boss monster die to one of your traps.

Fivv:
Kinda sad that most of it is just ra support. I forget which trap tries it is maybe myrmelo but one of them let’s you pop back row on a special summon I think which chains really well with their extra deck monsters being able to res them. Only issue was getting hard done by from an eldlich skill drain deck which is ironic that a trap would hamstring the trap archetype.
