Anyone play Yu-Gi-Oh?

[The Funslinger]

Cards like Raigeki and the original Mirror Force were "fuck you"s that had no activation prerequisite or downside. That is unbalanced. And the token thing is decided, stop bringing it up like it is unfair. It sounds like the game got too complex for you and you didn't like that. I suppose you have an objection to the new Exceed summoning as well? I don't mean to be aggressive, but you haven't explained what makes synchro summoning so bad yet.

EDIT: Synchro decks can be locked down easily. Thunder King Rai-oh, Bottomless Trap Hole, Book of Moon, Solemn Judgement, Skill Drain, etc.

I don't know about you, but I've never had a problem with cards like Raigeki and Dark Hole. If you have such a blaring gap in your deck, you deserve to get shafted by those cards. A handful of defensive spell cards is enough to level the playing field, and if you don't burn through them stopping those basic spells and traps, then those same defensive cards can be just as brutal by stopping the main spell card of your opponent's stratagy.

My point was, it is unbalanced. No downside. Lightning Vortex requires a discard and only targets face up monsters, the new Dark Hole is purely situational as it destroys all monsters, but no spell or traps. Raigeki looks terribly overpowered compared to these. It was reintroduced as the more balanced Lightning Vortex.

Well my point was that even if cards have no downside, like a lifepoint penalty, etc, doesn't make them overpowered or unbalanced, because they're still very easy to deal with.

And I just dug out my old deck. Still have the Egyptian Gods my friend gave me, in perfect condition!

I've stopped buying the cards but I still play the game every now and then.

I use a Crystal Beast deck if anyone cares.

I semi-collect them now, if I have spare change I buy a random booster.

I use a Blackwing deck, to hell with TC, I love them all!
I also make other deck if in the mood like;
zombie,dragon(powerhouse),dragons(raid the field), mist valley, genex, infernity, machine, plant (simple).

I have way too many of the bloody things good thing Q-cons coming up!

I used to but people ruined it by buying the really overpowered cards. You know what those card are.

Yes, I am one of them people. But isn't that the point, to make your oppositions jaw drop with crazy combo summoning. XD

I just love how handy 3 stardust dragons are!

I like Locomotion R-Genex. Its affect is sooo uncool!

snap.

Old yu-gi-oh was just get a four star with 1900 attack and you win, next to zero skill involved.

According to some it was a lot better. I obviously don't share that sentiment. I can't wait till Exceeds hit. A whole new element.

I still got a big pile from back in the day but I don't play with them, I didn't even back in the day, it was mostly trading.

I have 2 decks myself. Both Dark Magician based. 1 revovles around fusion and Syncro summoning and the other which I'm most proud of is my Dark Magician Girl focused deck. The strategies behind each deck is pretty much impenetrable defense to block attacks and steamroll with high level monsters or a suped up Dark Magician Girl. I even have this statue

Paid AU$130 for it and want a second one.

 

[Doctor Glocktor]

Yep.

I'm building a Disaster Dragon deck right now.

Can't wait for Exceeds.

Also, Fuck Trishula.

Of all the people to go to the local game shop in my town, 90% of them play Yu-gi Oh, young and old. Sadly no one plays the games I enjoy, "sigh".

Yu-Gi-Oh! just evolved. And cards like Raigeki are broken. Instant nuke the field? Really? Synchro summoning added a whole new element to the game. It is beautiful to see a well-executed OTK. Change=/=bad. Hell, my deck is pretty elite without any synchros. Lightsworns are awesome. I leave you with this:
That is fucking masterful.

Is this Over the Nexus? I don't think I recognize this game. It looks pretty awesome and definitely smoother than Stardust Accelerator

It is Tag Force 5. Duels do run very smoothly. It has become a tad outdated, though.
