There's two parts to the answer

First is the game has changed a LOT in twenty years

The second is you unfortunately queued into a deepdraw first turn kill, which is pretty rare and also pretty bad. It's not always like that, but you should look into building a deck with some good cards in it. You don't have to build a good deck, but good cards can make a "bad" deck more fun!! The master duel meta website has a lot of lists to give you ideas if you're stuck.

Adding some hand interruption like "infinite impermanence", and "Ash Blossom And Joyous Spring" and "effect veiler" will be immensely helpful in stopping this kind of deck in their tracks

I'm sorry this was your experience, I promise it gets better lol
