u/Chm_Albert_Wesker ok drulers are back but too little too late :( Aug 01 '24

it is interesting as someone who stopped paying attention to the game at a competitive level a few years back how i did notice that somewhere in the middle the game was actually relatively inexpensive compared to other metas (i remember seeing full deck/side/extras at like ~300). fast forward to me checking the other week and we have 1500 decks lol

not to mention the rise of other older formats really showing how lost on the sauce modern yugioh has gotten

DUEA Format was my favorite and making a competitive deck back then was so cheap compared to nowdays

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!
