Yu-Gi-Oh!

Konami should change the threshold for 15 rounds from 2048 to ~1500. In the US, X-2s have missed Top 8 at every event, while in South America (one less round) and Europe (one more round) all X-2s make it.


“Hold my beer” - Konami

Floodgates in Yu-Gi-Oh are like guns in America. I don’t know how you’d fix it even if you wanted to.



Dominant strategy to speed run the 3k gem events in Master Duel if you just want the gems is to build a deck of 40 going first cards and just quit if you lose the dice roll


The average South American player is better than the average European player


Floodgates are legal because a core principle of Yu-Gi-Oh is that anyone can beat the best player in the world, at least sometimes. Floodgates help Konami accomplish this.

Prediction: Board breaker strategies are dead with the new time rules. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but either way trying to break a board takes 20 minutes and that’s no longer viable.


Hey Master Duel - you're welcome

I didn't have a chance to do a deck profile at the event, so here's my Top 16 list from the WCQ. I went 11-1 in swiss.
