Just draw the right cards is half the game. It's a card time sometimes you lose to the draw. No deck is nor should be 100% consistent.

Sortof, but I do think floodgates lead to particularly bad gameplay. A board like Baronne, Chixiao, Blackout is powerful but there's a lot of different paths to contesting and outing those monsters while going through your deck's combo lines. While with the Flowandereeze setup most decks are cooked unless they have either a wind special summon or a card that takes the Barrier effect out of play in-hand. Flow has a cool resource loop that lets you set up interactions every turn and I wish it wasn't so heavily dependent on this lockout style of gameplay.

There's a lot of stupid floodgates and overly strong endboard enablers they should kill really.

This is something very weird to me about overall Yu-Gi-Oh outlooks.

Board with literally more negates than it is possible to have cards to play in your resulting turn? Absolutely fine, you can live with that.

A single floodgate? That's just unfair, needs to be banned.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Yugioh is just a poorly designed game that relies on unchecked powercreep to sell its products, cycling between "broken bullshit" and "answers to the broken bullshit" and "more bullshit that outplays the answers to the previous bullshit", not unlike your average gacha kusoge. Yet somehow it managed to become one of the world's most popular card games. So we're already at a point where they have no choice but to keep printing solitaire combo archetypes, because that's what has stuck as the game's selling point, and in turn they allow these overly powerful floodgates and blowout cards to exist as a semblance of an attempt to hold the dam. That's also probably why Maxx C and Mystic Mine each have stuck in OCG and TCG respectively for so long despite being massively unfun cards to play against (that are inexplicably banned in one format but is at 3 in the other).

In an ideal world the game wouldn't have bloated to this point but this is what we're stuck with now until the game dies out at some point.

The difference is you can play handtraps to try and stop the oops all negates board from being built, and most negates are good once per turn and that's it.

Mystic Mine stops everything, every monster effect, and it slows the game down to a complete crawl, and with the stupid new Beat Cop tech, drawing the out isn't even enough to take card of Mine, and there's a million ways to get Mine onto the field now.

There's like, a world of difference between the two things, between building a board full of negates and placing a single card on the field that goes 'oops now you can't play haha'.

You're not playing the game if neither player does anything for 20 turns. That's what Mystic Mine does.

If there was anywhere to start on getting the game's bullshit knocked down some, it'd be putting a resource meter on the GY and Banish zones so they're not just "Hand 2" and "Hand 3".

They'll introduce a new discard pile where you have to tear your cards in half if they get sent there. It's what Kaiba would've wanted.

Technically, -18 years. Gren Maju is a deadly little partner of the Pots of Extravagance, Prosperity, and Desires.

There's that one Swordsoul synchro, too, because Swordsoul mostly seems to exist to be everything unfair about Yu-Gi-Oh that Yu-Gi-Oh players think is actually completely fine.

Only way Konami can fix this is through a full revamp of the Master Rule. They have to try out things like sp summon limit per turn, player 2 mulligan to start with hand trap, more floodgate-based hand trap like d shifer and token collectior instead of negate or draw/win more, etc

Special summon limit is the worst idea, go back and play old school formats if you want boring rear end control games

Yeah, what we really need is something softer. Not outright saying 'you can't special summon that much in this turn', but something that punishes getting too greedy about it. Like maybe a card that says 'every time you special summon your opponent draws a card'.
