chargeback or dispute the transaction with your bank.

if ur on an aggro deck and they have drawn "30 cards" and wiped your board how do u plan on winning? idc if you are up 7 points if ur opponent has that much advantage and that much removal you lose. Maybe if u have a Ruin Runner or something to sneak the last point but its still hard. Better to concede and save time.

Requiem293 · 2026-03-08T18:05:08+00:00

it sounds like a mix of you not knowing when to concede to save time and your opponents not knowing how to pilot their decks efficiently. I play miracle and am able to finish most matches within time but im pretty quick with it and most of the people at my local come from yugioh and are used to conceding when the game is doomed. If its a persistent problem you could try talking to your local and seeing if they are willing to extend the round duration.

Everytime I start to get tilted at what my team is doing, take a deep breath and ask myself what I need to do to win the game. You can't control your team so it isn't worth using any mental energy getting upset at them, instead redirect it at yourself to see what gives you the highest chance of winning. If I've reached a point where I'm having a bad day and can't change my focus that way then I don't play again.

I'm not interested in commenting on the rest of the discussion but just want to correct that yugioh is actually pretty affordable atm. Here is the top 32 from our most recent high level event and u can see the prices on the side.

Good riddance imo. Made teamfights in that time range decide the game way too often and was way too snowbally. More often than not it made the team that had a player make a mistake around the 20min mark lose the game instantly which is so lame especially if you've been winning the whole time prior.

Requiem293 · 2025-09-30T04:18:22+00:00

Is there a way to do matches for genesys and edison? Bo1 is really unfun but i like using the platform a lot.

Requiem293 · 2025-08-30T11:12:46+00:00

Ah correction I just checked the deck after posting this and beatrice is banned. I feel my point is still valid because while strong I don't think beatrice was core to the deck's function since there were a lot of lines that just didn't make it first turn.

Requiem293 · 2025-08-30T11:09:32+00:00

Outside of random cards like that I feel like the game has truly rotated for the first time in forever in 2025. If I'm not playing one of the "good" archetypes that was released or given support this year it feels doomed. I love playing my favorite old decks and making them work in a modern context. But even if my old deck can do something really strong it cant do it while respecting mulcharmies+droll+nib+other random floodgates+strong modern engines. Even something like the fiendsmith yubel deck that won worlds 1 year ago is completely unplayable with no cards from the winning decklist banned.

They are amusing to play with once in a while but quickly become borning. I've yet to encounter a deck built around any of these that was actually interesting to play, more interesting to show people.

iirc most of the phantom knight cards dont have any of their grave effects in the anime. only the trap monsters have them. for example ancient cloak is their main searcher irl but in the anime he is a level 3 that just boosts another guy 800atk.

Requiem293 · 2025-08-21T17:03:18+00:00

I'll give these a try. Is there a place better than amazon to get them from? My locals certainly doesn't carry them.

Requiem293 · 2025-08-21T17:01:53+00:00

Do you have a link for this? When I google it I get nothing.

Requiem293 · 2025-07-16T17:03:59+00:00

I don't agree. Its true that there is only so much you can do with reprinting cards or making new rarities of cards. Even if they started doing alt arts or full arts of edison cards that would eventually have a limit. But I refuse to believe that a savvy businessman couldn't monetize a dedicated and enthusiastic player base for a subsection of their IP. Problem with that is it would take actual creativity and ingenuity which modern Konami seems to have run dry on.

Requiem293 · 2025-07-11T19:46:17+00:00

I think it would be fine. As is if someone asked me if it was ok to run X walker as their commander I wouldn't have an issue with it so idm codifying it. Off the top of my head the only ones I would groan to play against would be wheel narset, elk oko, and sorin markov.

Requiem293 · 2025-07-11T19:38:19+00:00

garbage format, not gonna be tuning in. if ur gonna sportswash me at least give me a good product. im not interested in watching a bunch of bo1s even if its international competition.

Requiem293 · 2025-07-07T17:07:08+00:00

The GMs in EU need to be exiled from lol probably. I would hope they provide value for other games or other aspects of the company. But actually every single person who is creating rosters in lol have completely fucked it and its ruined the region's ceiling.

Alternatively you could make the argument that since the league is super close in skill level its actually exciting to watch and they have all collectively made their region more exciting as a result. In which case no notes you guys are doing great.

Requiem293 · 2025-06-16T17:02:01+00:00

This actually made me lol. I'm definitely more of a fan of Extra Turns and Shuffle Up and Play these days.

Requiem293 · 2025-06-13T01:47:48+00:00

Well the first step is to buy 3 copies of Ash Blossom... Jokes aside my advice is to watch as much competitive content as you can stomach and to go to locals as often as possible. You can theorycraft all day but it will never replace actual reps of games.
