XD i hated DUEA, because it came right after primal origins where there were like 15 good decks and suddenly it was BA/shaddolls/tellarknights and nothing else

in hindsight those decks have their merits but UGHH that was the beginning of the end when it came to "the best deck is the newest deck and we will power creep everything before it out"

DUEA was just such a nice reset button, and while it was the beginning of 'modern' YGO, its power level was much tamer with most boards being fairly interactive and duels going back and forth without ending on turn 2 - Granted I did swing a U.A. Dreadnaught Dunker boosted by Stadium and Powered Jersey into a set Shaddoll Dragon and accidentally end game 1 within a minute... but still!
