Someone explain the concept to me and how it doesn't unbalance the game.
I basically don't play because I sit down to and people have some rape train move executed by turn two.
I'd rather deal with some lockdown that makes it so I can't win on turn 10 than have someone syncro.
Synchro Summon - Yu-Gi-Oh!
Lol, that's what the game is based on nowadays. XYZs, synchros, and apparently now "pendulum" monsters. The game has been sped up to a fault now. Monsters spam the field so incredibly fast that there's like 10 special summons in one turn at times.
Certain cards are so cheesy and the game is so broken now it's not even funny. ABC logic is what yugioh has been reduced to.
I give the game another good 3 years at best after 2014. The golden age of yugioh is long over IMO.
Edit: To clarify, still a fan of the game. And somewhat the show. But I'm not too big on it these days. I only play on occasion when I'm bored now. I also play exclusively online and don't purchase the cards or anything. I'm not quite the diehard fan I used to be like 3-4 years ago. And that's saying something considering I've followed the series and the card game since literally day #1.
I'm basically in the same camp, though I gave up on the show. I tried to watch whatever was after 5Ds but couldn't and Idon't care for the one before 5Ds after. The stuff with the classic cast was more my speed. Less whimsical, like the original manga where Yami murdered people.
I play 40k so I'm at a comic shop, between games I'll play Yugioh to kill time. I basically buy cards to update what decks I still have and make them playable/legal.
I play Magic more because of how fast the game goes. I don't understand speeding up a card game.
