I understand how to play it, but the level of metagaming necessary to scrape out wins past Gold V is egregious. Plus Master Duel is JP format only (or was when I played it), which allows obnoxiously oppressive cards like V.F.D., Rhongo, Imperial Order, etc. Yeah, just get Legacy of the Duelist if you're just looking to play... only problem is it's a few years out of date (Master Duel isn't quite current, but it gets regular updates that keep it closer).

Master Duel is a thing. Its fun when you get someone of your same skill level but as soon as you get out of gold you better be packing a meta heat and then you might just end up watching some guy play solitaire.



Over the Nexus and Tag Force 5 are still peak Yugioh gaming

I played for the first few months; stopped the season after Swordsoul became a thing because I built that to claw my way up to Diamond and wasn't having fun with it. I liked playing Rokket / Borreload and Red Dragon Archfiend, but those become unviable at higher levels.

I mean, the metagaming is just egregious. Synchro event? Better play True Dracos!

... I never did play competitively, and only really kept up with it until the end of the first season of GX. But I saw the Borreload designs and was like "Those are awesome!" and fell in love with their gameplay, same as RDA.

I ended up tooling around Master Duel and then quickly realized that after I spend all of my new player gems/easy gems on making a meta deck I don't care to play I will fall behind once they introduce a new set that will introduce a new tier one/zero deck I will fall behind quickly unless I spend some money for gems for pulls/desynths. Sorry Konami, SE already has number, I don't need another company jingling their keys in my face hoping I dig out my debit card, lol.
That said, I am enjoying Legacy of the Duelist: LE. Deskbots are a pretty fun deck to play with and it releases those sweet endorphins when I get a 4, 3, and 9 out. Wipe their board with Deskbot Jet and power up 9 to a stupid attack level, and go full unga bunga I got bigger stick mode by swinging with a 125000 monster, lol.
