Very amazing article, and the comments are even more amazing. Perhaps Konami isn’t printing more bosses because it feels that all decks already have access to big monsters in the form of Synchros?

I think some people are looking at it the wrong way.
It is not that the Low tier decks are lacking Support, rather the high tier deck have too much support.

Some of my rants include:

Draw Power and Deck Thinning and Graveyard Dumping
– Draw Power is an increasing trend as a big requirement to win. The quicker you thin your deck out of cards that can be used in the graveyard, the more is your chance at getting your limited cards such as heavy storm, torrential, mirror force and such.

Easy counter to anything within a few turns as well as Easy big damage and mostly easy Destruction of cards on the field.
There are so many cards that have too easy of a time to destroy cards on the field that it feels like monsters attacking each other is not required anymore to even pass through the game moderately.

I have other rants but this post is long enough XP

I was an avid yu gi oh player and now I have secluded my self and became a casual one for the reason that yu gi oh is breaking apart.

Very good read.

This meta is definately going to be fast. Every new format and every list I hear people saying the list has slowed the game down, when in actuality this is not the case and wont ever be the case unless konomi starts paying attention to articles like this.

With the boss mechanic, I am fine with it. And really would not mind if “boss cards” were at two as long as they were not splashable (DAD) and a simple line was at the end of the text of those monsters: “You cannot enter your battle phase if you activate this effect”.

Hello everyone! There have been a lot of talk about Gravekeeper decks in this article. I am one of the few that have run Gravekeepers for over five years. I have won a few local tournaments in New York City with them but I never traveled to Shonen Jump to truly test the deck. The problem with GK is fact that they have not been given any direct support in years. (A 1800+ beatstick or spell of trap that allow them to draw or destroy monsters would be nice.) The only support that have come out for GK is splashable support such as Deck Devestation Virus, which is one of the most underrated and underuseded card in yu-gi-oh right now. I have destroyed so many cat synchro decks with DDV going off and many players never heard of the card.

I think that Konami wants Yu Gi Oh to be a little more fair. They also want to give me three of every Yu Gi Oh card up to date and give me a load of cash along with Metal Gear Solid 4 and Rising when that comes out. What really grinds my gears is when you lose something. Then someone asks you where you lost it. If I knew where I lost it, would I be wondering? Anyways, Jae Kim, man, I love you man, you made me look at Yu Gi Oh in a different way.
