The game starts you off with the worst LOB deck possible and makes you work for every card you win (one at a time). Since early ygo is all about 4 star cards with good atk power you’re totally outclassed by the ai that has a bunch of beatsticks on hand AS WELL AS powerful tributes like summon skull.

And the absolute insult to injury is now TWO TIMES the ai has completed exodia, giving a big ol’ fuck you to me when I had the ai down to like 1k life points.

Konami fix your cheating ass games, these are supposed to be for babies, not masochists.

    I was thinking “that doesn’t sound like goat format to me” then you mentioned Summoned Skull then it hit me that you’re probably in a format predating Jinzo, the Monarchs, Chaos Sorc, and BLS.

    I loved Dark Duel Stories for the GBC. I used to play it all the time even though it’s probably not even that great. You could just randomly stack two cards together, and if they were in their esoteric list of possible fusions, you’d get a really strong dude on the field basically free. There was also a Rock-Paper-Scissors mechanic so even if you had a weak monster on the field, they could still obliterate a tough one if they had the right typing.

    Only thing that I remember from this game is Yugi saying “I end my turn”.
