Playing Modern Yu-Gi-Oh! in a Nutshell
www.youtube.com
I haven't played Yu Gi Oh in like 100 years. I tried learning all the new mechanics and other things. This is exactly my reaction to em. Thank god Konami inv...

Got the shock of my life after finishing the 1st campaign of ‘Yu-Gi-Oh legacy of the Duelist’. So I went off to go and fight the NPC Challenge mode. Out of my depth, so I got beaten a few times but I did beat about 5 of the NPC after about 3 attempts each.

I’m not using any known build. I’m using a random deck of my own making trying to actually enjoy the damn game without chasing the meta.

So I’ve been trying to fight Iszisu Isztar and I am completely hardstuck. She uses a spellbook deck and it just seems impossible. I am toast every time. I got her to 200 life points at one point, but even when I had her against the wall with zero, she just activated walls of text in the graveyard that summed powerful monsters and destroyed all of mine for reasons I don’t even understand. I couldn’t even comprehend it how the NPC and rules allow them to completely summon 5 mega monsters in one turn. I feel completely lost like I don’t know anything about this game anymore even though I am a veteran of thousands of matches. Very demoralising.

This video summarised my experience very well. As somebody who loves Yu-Gi-Oh, I weep for this game.

    Holy crap another poster, praise be

    Legacy of the Duelist and early Duel Links were how I got back into the game after being away for the better part of ten years. Duel Links at release was super simple - the best deck was Rex Raptor normal dino beatdown. But I had no idea what the hell was going on in LOTD. My roommate basically had to sit me down and teach me everything from scratch.

    If you’re interested in playing the game in a way that feels more like the yugioh you remember, you could check out Goat format.

      I had no idea about the Goat format. I’ll investigate that post hate. Thank you for telling me. I love the older format. I think most people do. This new stuff is utterly lamentable. Hate seeing my childhood love in such a state. The game used to be simple and easy to follow.

      And yeah, I transitioned here from Reddit. Trying to be active here to show others in the community it is possible to transition to Lemmy, away from corporate hellholes.
