Yu-Gi-Oh anyone? -

I know this is close to Our Pet Lolcow's interests, but I wanted to see if anyone here played Yu-Gi-Oh. I used to play Magic: The Gathering, but I grew up with Yu-Gi-Oh and personally, I find it way more fun.

So, what decks do you play?...

I never got into the game(Even though I owned a few cards), but I was obsessed with the badly dubbed 4kids anime as a young teen. In fact, I remember I was watching Yu-Gi-Oh, when I started my first period (Sorry, if I made you some of you guys uncomfortable) and it was my first real fandom and everything. I know 4kids sucks (Or did suck), but I have so many good memories of Yu-Gi-Oh, but sadly I stopped watching it because I was going to a fundie Christian school ran by this batshit insane old lady and she made us feel guilty for watching anything to do with magic.

I never got into Yu-Gi-Oh Gx though.

I also grew up with the Yu-Gi-Oh! 4kids dub (but in spanish) and I also got negative comments for watching it (it's boys' stuff, the egyptian gods go against catholicism, they use satanic concepts, etc.) but I continued watching it till the final episode.

In relation to the card game, I got some starter decks when the series just started airing and played with my siblings, but I didn't really continue since the cards got harder to come by as the years passed (and more expensive).

Despite being fairly popular when I was growing up, I never got into Yu-Gi-Oh (both the cards and TV show)

I watch the Abridged Series if that counts :lol:

I've actually collected a bunch of Yu-Gi-Oh cards over the years. I constantly rebuild my deck in hopes that I can make one that doesn't suck. My deck isn't themed, but it consists of a lot of Elemental Heroes, some Malefic cards and the Jashin Gods on occasion.

I've watched the Abridged Series to the point where the real voice actors sound weird and out-of-place.

If there is one good thing the 4Kids dub gave us, it was the Abridged Series.

Played Dragon Rulers on Duel Netwok. Managed to draw half my deck on my first turn. Went back to M:TG legacy tourneys.

I played Lightsworns once and managed to draw through my entire deck on my first turn.

I used to watch the show growing up. The dub of the anime fills me with so much joy. It's so wonder-terrible it's almost awe inspiring. I remember my little kid brain thinking that it was super emotional deep shit back in the day before I realized just how awful it was. But hey, I still remember it after all these years and so do lots of people. I guess that kind of makes it worthwhile after all.

Never was a Yu-Gi-Oh! guy to be honest, I heard everyone else talk about how it was the best thing since sliced cake and I wasn't that fussed about it. The only interest I took in the series was when it had a Abridged series and the first season it had or 'Season 0'.

I actually got into the game during the Zexal/XYZ Summon era. I had some bootleg cards when I was a kid, but as people who play the game know, season 1 predates the real cardgame and going by the anime to play cards that were in chinese was a miserable experience.

Right now I play with an amazoness deck and a Blue-Eyes White Dragon deck. I got into the game because I saw the XYZ and Synchro cards and I loved the artwork, I thought they were kickass, so a friend decided to teach me how to play and I really had fun, it's so fast paced now.

... Or was, until the current Link Summon format dropped. They seem to want to go back to the original Battle City format in which you slowly build resources.

I watched the anime as a kid, but once it dropped off daytime television, I lost interest because I was too young to know how to play the card game well enough. (I guess I just lacked the attention-span and willingness to read the bottom of the cards, I suppose.)

Now that I'm a boring, collegiate adult and my friends suddenly play Yu Gi Oh, I actually have the time and effort to learn the card game, battle, read the cards, build my own deck, etc.

I played until around synchro and quit because the game was becoming way too fast and first turn combo heavy, my last deck was a worm deck with so many traps to punish most combos that most games were rage quit after few first turn. I just don't find it fun anymore

It's really not hard at all. I was also kind-of intimidated at first by the rules and all types of cards, monster and effects, but then my friend told me a very convincing arguement/mantra to pick up the game:

It's a god damn children's card game, it's not hard to learn.

I remember every attempt to get a game going in highschool always resulted with people bickering about the rules, about whether or not things from the anime broke the rules, what the complicated instructions on some cards even meant and confusion over sacrificing cards for stronger monsters. I don't think anyone in our class ever actually finished a game.

The anime was great, though. And some of the art on the cards looks cool.
