I play a lot of card games casually. I don't have the money to go through with it, and I'm not that good at it anyway.
Yu-Gi-Oh!

I love YU-GI-OH, and I believe, to my friends dismay, that it can be much more strategic than magic the gathering. I don't play much anymore, just because I can't afford to keep buying new cards, or to drive 2 hours one way to go to a tournament, but it's a great game. i've always run a deck based around blue eyes, it's one of my favorite cards.PatrickXD said:
I used a machine deck (Ancient Gears)
And I had a special deck focused on level 3 and lower normals monsters.
Sound like a bad idea? You'd be surprised.

I used to play that with my buddies. I had to stop when I ran out of cards. We played for keeps, putting up our best cards every match. I did pretty good for a while, but kinda stopped caring at one point. But the one thing I remember was the fact that I never spent a dime on the game!

I used to play it as a kid, but stopped after a pretty short while as none of my friends had any decent decks and my brother, who I'd lend cards, was a sore loser (he's the same with Monopoly too, and he's the reason I have a LOTR Risk set in my wardrobe that I've never actually played). I didn't really have a specific deck, I tended to use similar strategies (realistic of course) and cards to Yugi and Atem from the anime. Strange thing is, it seemed to work most of the time, too...
Nowadays I don't exactly play it, though I have dabbled in the GBA and DS games. Whenever I do play, through those consoles, I tend to go for a mostly Magic-based deck, with lots of Spellcasters and Spell cards, then pad it out with Traps that deal damage whenever the opponent uses basic moves like drawing a card, and that sort of thing. Basically, a magic-based deck with plenty of poison-esque strategies available...
EDIT: Forgot until someone above mentioned the Blue Eyes, but I also tend to include a fair few Dragon and Spellcaster Fusions as the big guns. And I always make sure I have at least three Blue Eyes in my deck if possible, as soon as I have those monsters available, and the Blue Eyes Ultimate too...

They are going to eventually make real duel disks considering they got the card scanning technology already.Palademon said:That would be fun, scaring people with holograms of massive monsters.Marik2 said:
Until then we just have this hunk of plastic in various styles:

I play Yu-Gi-Oh! and I'm 19. It is just as complex, if not more so, than the "grown up" games like Magic. Seriously, screw anyone who goes "I DON"T PLAY KIDS" GAMES. LOL"PatrickXD said:
I don't own the cards. I use the Kaiba Co. Online Duel System. I run Lightsworns.
Gemini decks are too risky. Cards like Book of Moon, Bottomless Trap Hole, and the countless destructive abilities of cards make summoning one twice neigh impossible. I first read their effects and went "WTF, How can you use this?"Asuka Soryu said:
I was playing Yu-Gi-Oh! since LoBE.
Since, I have stopped playing, but I was once a notable player in NC.
I won two championships and a sneak peek tournament when the Elemental Heroes came about.
What was my secret to success you may ask?
ZORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: I also played a warrior deck which gave me an endless attack phase. I forget how, though.

Not to be offensive, but back when I did play Yu-Gi-Oh, I quit because it definitely was not as complex as Magic. Not by a long shot. I admit this could have changed, but when I played around 8 years ago, the best decks were the ones where people dropped a lot of money on getting 4-star 1900 attack monsters and just going agro. There were a couple of viable decks, but if you played in tournaments there were probably about 5 different deck types there. But things could have changed. The early days of Yu-Gi-Oh are probably significantly different from what they are now.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
I used to play, but quit and switched up to Magic. I quit because a)my friends were more of Magic people b)there was a lack of variety in deck types and c)the company could not stop limiting good cards. First rule of game design: the less changes you have to make in post-production the better. I got tired of good cards getting printed and the best thing they could think to balance it was saying you could only have 1 copy.
A lot has changed. A lot. You just don't know. Synchro summons, the upcoming Excel summons. It is now as complex as Magic. Go on the wiki and see for yourself.j0frenzy said:
I'll take your word for it. Quite frankly, even if it has become as complex as Magic, I have no one to play with, so its a moot point. Thought I am intrigued by some of the stuff in this thread. Flaming Dinosaurs and Frog decks sound kind of awesome. Awesome like trying to build a Magic deck around a sheep-mage.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
I used to have a really good deck and was pretty good at the actual game, but I eventually lost interest and now I've got hundreds of dollars worth of cards sitting in storage. Not sure why I haven't sold them yet.
I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh back in high school. It was fun until the people I played with graduated, then I had no one else to play against before school started .
About a year ago, I tried creating a Yu-Gi-Oh game that would take care of the game logic and all the individual cards for you. I had a working demo with the Legend of Blue-Eye's booster pack, but no one seemed interested in it, so I dropped the project.

It's fun and a nice hobby. I WOULD like to get back into playing it but there's this whole problem of it costing money and if you don't get the most up to date boosters you can't play the best and all that. I used to play with my friends and we were all sort of mediocre. We got the rules, we pulled strategies out of our arses but we didn't spend years perfecting techniques. It was a hobby, something to do in lunch hours at secondary school and college.
What killed it for me was when I met the elitists. YA KNOW those who only live for the game. Me and my friends were playing amongst ourselves in a comic shop and these guys came over and were like, "d'ya wanna game?" We all got beat in roughly 5 turns or below. I don't know why, I don't know how, but it wasn't that what got me. Me and my friends were actually ENJOYING the game, laughing and going "oh snap, you did not just use that trap!" but then these guys showed up and when they played it's like they wanted to just drop dead. So after seeing that I left it.
I've liked every card game running I think besides Magic. I stopped buying them though and sort of just went with what I got. I remember Pokemon, my cousin kept getting his friends cards and then he got bored so gave me all that he collected. I remember Duel Masters, a friend lent me a deck and I never stopped using it. With YuGiOh I actually went out of my way and started buying it, but even so it was a few boosters and 2 theme decks, nothing major. If I was a rich man I'd buy them all out, but unfortunately I'm not. Besides, the next time/money sink hobby I'm interested in is Warhammer...YEAH I WENT THERE!!!
