That’s the reason why I only play with old cards. There is no fun in playing a card game if your opponent is easily able to win in turn one. (this also occasionally happened with the old cards, but not that often)
I ignore every card which was released after Yugioh GX ended. The anime and the card game realy went downhill from there.
Honesty I find it so dumb when someone is teaching someone a new card game, and they use a super powerful deck and absolutely wreck them.
Like what are you trying to prove.
There was one time I did that in Pokémon, but only because my friend had never played and was convinced in a joking way he could beat me if I played with my good deck, so to go with his joke I thrashed him with my good deck and then we laughed about it.
It’s like these people can’t stand to lose to the point they have to protect their fragile egos from a newbie.
If you play with a new player use balanced beginner friendly decks like the Pokémon battle academy decks or the MTG starter decks.
When i used to teach magic to others, id always give them my RB vampire deck which was a beast. Id then either use my UG trample which stood a chance, or if i knew theyd be a good sport id use my red win and keep board wiping till i was board then deal like 90 direct damage ending their hopes.
But i was always sure to give them a great deck to play thats easy and fun. It was my deck though and i knew every play they could make and how to destroy it.
I have a MTG deck that’s pretty much like that, but if you don’t get lucky with the cards, you’re going to lose pretty quickly. It’s all based around an artifact that reduces cycling costs.
That one was part of the strategy, but the main card was the Fluctuator, and another one I can’t remember that let you search your deck and draw a swamp for each creature in your graveyard. Then a spell to do X damage per swamp tapped.
The first time I played MtG, my friend who was teaching me let me go off with the token deck he lent to me. I ended up making so many creature tokens I was just writing them down on a piece of paper. It was in the hundreds. And then when I swung my massive army at him, he Uno-Reverso-d me and basically killed me with my own creatures. I think it’s still the most brutal way I’ve lost a game of Magic and I absolutely loved it XD
IIRC there are infinite token combos and if you are using one, you can just establish the loop and then claim the amount you want, so you don’t have to go through the process a billion times.
You forgot to teach the newbie the part where if they do interact with your turn 0 win, you rage quit because “wow dude your threat assessment skills need some work.”
You’ve activated my trap card! Also, my unbreakable board full of effect monsters that negate literally everything you could possibly try to do while I pop all of your cards with my spell counters and discard your whole hand.
I had this happen to me a few years ago. My friend was dating this older woman who had a teenage son. We went to her place one night to play games. We all played Yu-Gi-Oh when we were younger and brought our old decks/cards.
Turns out the teenager played also but collected more recent cards, think it was XYZ at the time. We decided to play against him and he destroyed us in two turns, we had no chance. My Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder and Harpies Feather Duster were no use 😭😭
