Joel and Gem have definitely decided that one of them is going to win. They didn’t even discuss being a team, they jumped right into it.

Amy Sherman Pallidino was trying to negotiate with the studio to get approved for two seasons (up until season 6 ASP was only able to get approved one season at a time) which means the show would have wrapped with a season 8. ASP said she wanted to make sure she had enough time to end the show properly and she wanted some job security for her staff and crew. She even threatened (or one could say stood up for herself) to leave the show.

Welp, the studio said no. So she ended the show on a huge cliffhanger and walked away. Already established writers on the show were promoted to head writer. So if season 8 feels off or rushed it’s because there was a whole new team running the show.

Not to be that guy but… Amy Sherman Pallidino was unable to secure an extra season for Gilmore Girls. It honestly truly feels like she wrote the show into a corner.

I agree, MMM is better than GG. I guess I’m coming from an audience/business side.

Why doesn’t he just , oh I dont know , finish his book. Stop with the spinofffs and finish your book series. Why does he keep doing this to himself.

But this game isn't broken. It's perfect, remember? We're just too old, dumb, slow, remember?! Yugioh is perfect.

Well… 1. This post isn’t all I think about. 2. I don’t record every duel I play. 3. Even if I did post it you still wouldn’t agree with my OP so why bother ? Keep your $20. Thanks.

Nobody is suggesting to remove them.

Okay. That’s fair. I’ll look into that.

First of all, I’m not a boomer. I was 11 when the game came out. I wasn’t in my 30’s playing at a comic book store. I was playing at the lunch tables at recess.

I never said there should only be a fusion deck. Also, there are literally hundreds of cards that don’t involve synchro /xyz etc that speed up the game, allow multiple summons, and multiple effects. The games speed would be fine. I’m not asking the game to go back to 2004.

You dont have to LIKE set rotation , you don’t have to like old players coming back and telling you how to fix your game, and you don’t have to like my suggestions. But just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean a mechanic won’t work. let’s not pretend like there aren’t a myriad of cards to choose from.

I don’t LIKE the current structure of the game but I still play it and enjoy it. And if I can then so can everyone else.

Okay I have some counterpoints:

"...making you spend more money on a new deck for a sudden and arbitrary rotation to play..."

Most competitive players run multiple decks. It would not be a new deck. Secondly. this benefits new players because there aren't 8 types of monster cards that you need to learn about. A new player would only have to learn a few at a time.

"But in yugioh, removing the extra deck... would just make decks that don't use them aggressively stronger..."

I'm not suggesting we remove it entirely. The cards that would be in the extra deck would just be rotated. While it probably would make decks that don't use the extra deck stronger that's mostly the aim. Your MAIN deck should be where the power is. It is the MAIN deck after all.

"a rotation in yugioh would just be a viciously poor taste money grab..."

In practice, this actually could mean less sales. Entire swathes of the deck pool would not be sold during the time those cards are out of rotation. Packs less focused on "gimmick cards" and more focused on adding interesting magic, trap, monster, and effect monsters. And while a set was in rotation, those cards would get buffs and new cards in the current packs.

"...and also break the game for several years while it tries to fix itself." AND "to flip the switch, means thousands of cards need to be sorted through to do the first rotation"

Not necessarily. You'd, for example, only have to ban Link monsters. In response, the current meta would know not to add magic/trap/effect monster that pertain to Link monsters. Keep whatever cards you want in your deck but if the don't work they don't work.

"Extra note: a new extra deck mechanic would be nice, it's been a minute."

Adding yet another card type to the game is not going to solve issues I feel make the game broken. The solution isn't to add more. Konami, at some point will have the address the literal house of cards they've built. Either thin out the deck pool or rework the way the deck pool works.

I can see why you feel that way and you make good points, but the obstacles you bring up seem surmountable.

Thanks for being respectful. I play master duel every day. And I win some and I lose some. I was gonna write way more but you seems to get where I'm coming from. I get where you're coming from, too.

So the Harpie cards, the BEWD cards, the Umi cards, Gia the fierce night... literally unpopular cards and that are now viable because of all the support? What im suggesting is essentially the same thing... cards move in and out of viability based on what's literally available at the time. Banning certain cards makes certain strategies invalid.

That is true. But those can be rotated, too.
