yu gi oh is really fun when you don't play with dumb faggots
sorry you all hate fun
it's actually pretty balanced. there is ALWAYS a way to disrupt a combo. there are hardly any instant wins, and what little there are, you have to build an entire deck around and even then it is pretty easy to disrupt
Yu-Gi-Oh is a terribly unbalanced card game. I've played a ton of card games at a competitive level, Magic, Pokemon, Duel Masters, and Yu-Gi-Oh, just to name the ones I've put most of my effort/cash into, and Yu-Gi-Oh was by far the least balanced.
Duel Masters is a great game, no lie. Easily my favorite card game. I made it all the way to Nationals one year, too. I wish Wizards of the Coast wouldn't have discontinued it.
Explain how it is unbalanced.
Never have I seen a game where one type of deck can single-handedly control the competitive environment. From Yata-Lock to DAD to Gladiators to even earlier stuff like Jinzo-lock, there's always a deck which controls the metagame and is the "best deck". Sure, there are other decks which can be competitive, I had a lot of success with a Plant deck, but usually there is one deck to beat. In most other games there are a multitude of decks which have nearly equal power. Not saying that there haven't been unbalanced environments in games like Magic and Duel Masters (Affinity and Bombazar decks, respectively, for example), but on the whole they are naturally more balanced. Yu-Gi-Oh fixes a lot of it's problems with card banning, something other games have avoided in their standard play environments.
Since I haven't played in the last three years I can't talk about the metagame, so I'll have to take your word on that.
Also, I dunno about other card games, but Magic only doesn't have to maintain a banlist because every few months they ban everything. In Legacy play or whatever they call it where all sets are legal, they have a very extensive banlist.
type 2 has has the 4 most recent sets at any given time(generally) they have actually been changing up the way sets work recently
and banlists most definitely exist for type 2
Fair enough, 90% of my MTG knowledge is from my friends that play it more than I do.

the game is nothing at all like the show
sorry I don't like shitty things for children
yet you are defending magic the gathering
which
once again
is full of gay faeries and dragons and whatever other fantasy shit that's in yu gi oh
I've been out of Magic since my playgroup fell apart/went to prison for extensive drug dealing, but I'm getting a lot of government money back from my Pell Grant, thanks to my parents qualifying as stupid poor, and I'm probably going to jump in again since Worldwake is coming out soon. I've been doing some drafts online, it's a lot of fun to have people always ready to play.
EDIT: Also, no, the art in Magic is so much better than in YGO. YGO card art is like a shitty American cartoon. Magic has some art worth framing and hanging on your wall.
basically how a game is marketed and what its creators thought it would be like doesn't matter at all (except as it influences the actual product during development, obviously)
once the game is released, all that matters is what the game is actually like. there is no reason not to play a game that is "designed for kids" or "marketed at kids" unless that game has real attributes, beyond "what the designers thought it would be like" or "what the ads were like," that make it suitable for kids only.
a game that was originally made for 12-year-olds but which, by some miracle, actually has deep, rewarding gameplay under the surface can be fun for adults to play too. and, of course, good games marketed towards adults are also worth playing, and bad games, whether marketed toward kids or adults, are to be avoided. the other stuff doesn't matter, unless you're honestly that worried someone will see you playing "a kids' game."
Kusu, maaaaaan. MTG art ain't too shabby. It's certainly better then Yu-Gi-Oh where every other thing is a dragon, or dragon related.
It's all still pretty damn silly though.
you have never played yugioh because, while there are lots of dragons, there's even more of anything else
Dragon knights?
i think there are more magicians and sword bearers than dragons in yugioh
Well to be fair, the most notable monsters in the current sets are four of the Five Dragons from the 5D's series. Other card-archetypes highlighted on the show include the Blackwings...
WoW Minis still has me addicted. It's a simple miniatures game that's pretty enjoyable. One where you don't need to constantly look through manuals wondering what the hell all those colors mean, or use a ruler.

I'm 27 and I play yugioh. Not against little kids though. That would be too wierd.
I didn't!
I can't play right now, my DS isn't compatible with our internet. I'll be able to in like a week and a half once I'm back at school.

Yeah, but you can rationalize it, because you are aware that you're playing a game designed and marketed at pre-teens.
So it's ok, I guess.
you have never played yugioh because, while there are lots of dragons, there's even more of anything else
both came out in 98
man, I was only in 8th grade then
what i thought yugioh came out statewide in 2002
Oh, that's a shame.
I will be looking forward to the day (but not obsessively or anything, I just think it will be fun). :^:
I guess it depends on what part of the year, but that's the year I graduated.

How long have you been huffing paint. Because I hear good things.
Probably going to waste what's left of my xmas gift card on a couple of packs.
