Speaking of things that make no sense, I tried out YGO: Master Duel after getting a card game itch. As someone who stopped playing when the Hero architype was released it was crazy seeing a deck that can summon 6+ monsters that can be used for fusion, the white fusion, the blue fusion, and finally the black fusion. I might duck out and just check out Legacy of the Duelist and save myself the FOMO and just make fun meme decks, lol.

I'd advise that. Modern meta-yugioh is very tiring and uninspired. I had way more fun messing around on LotD with my magician/destiny hero/fairy decks than I did on duel links/master duel. I feel like the current game is too meta orientated and fast paced. My meme magician deck did really well in duel links surprisingly, until subterror cards dropped and all of a sudden I was facing 3000 defence monsters on turn on with all kinds of effect protections. So then it's like ok, I either play with cards I don't want to, that I'll probably have to spend money to get, orrrr... I just play the old game and mess around on that. I'm glad I did, way more fun. Granted my deck was a bit dirty, it was a turn one Shutdown using mirage dragon and dark paladin to deny them the ability to react to anything I did haha.

I'm well aware that the period I played it as a kid and enjoyed (original, GX, tiny bit of 5ds), is kinda a different game to the stuff we have now with all the crazy Synchros/XYZ summons... I could sorta get my head around them but I felt the black/white cards looked weird. Then pendulum summons became a thing and I was like nope nope, not doing it lol. Gimme my Destiny End Dragoon.
