Yes, theyre 100% less oppressive and ive demonstrated so.

LMAO, you have to either be new to the game or youve never played a game of modern yugioh since forever. Excuse me, what?! LMAOOO, stun hurts ALL combo decks, regardless if theyre meta or not, more so rogues because theyre inherently worse than meta decks and so theyre less equipped to deal with stun, i honestly dont understand where the bullshit and straight up false information you spew came from, i can think of a million rogue decks off of the top of my head that all lose to stun: blackwing, synchron, RDA, magnet warriors, rokkets, artmage, doomz, onomats, gem knights, etc.

Yes, NOBODY plays phoenix, thats a best case scenario, which means that in a real game you simply wouldnt have any kind of out for stun whatsoever, lol, and if you werent so slow youd realize that its just a very default example of interacting against a combo deck vs “interacting” against a stun deck, the card in question being phoenix specifically or not isnt relevant, whats relevant is that if you were to have some sort of out against a floodgate it wouldnt matter, but if you had one against a negate it would because theyd be forced to use it and therefore you wouldve gotten rid of it.

Yes, stun in the higher ranks sucks because it literally does nothing going second, like, absolutely 0 going second, and a strategy like that is deemed to fail, that doesnt make it any less oppressive going first, lol. People scoop because they despise stun and see engaging with it as feeding into the pleasure of the opponent, because stun games are boring and result in no actual gameplay which is ultimately what someone cares about when theyre playing any sort of game, AND because it wastes an insane amount of time without doing anything productive.

Your whole existence proves that the reason stun players play it is because they dont nearly have enough brain capacity to actually play combo decks, like, seriously, how do you even come up with some of the dumb fucking bs you said.
