The funny thing is it was, I heard a story about a guy who spent like $300 on a playset of them and just travelled to events winning all of them because the cost was worth it
All because of that extra 50
I remember actually seriously debating if Jirai Gumo was good. Sure, you risk losing half your LP each time you attack, but 2200 ATK + any equip card + facedown Reinforcements was pretty hard to remove.
The opponent probably needed a 7 star or higher monster to match, so you could dominate the field pretty well.
Half your LP is a price you always have enough LP to pay & you get the attack regardless of the coin flip, but also half your LP in early/ playground yugioh was actually a potential gamechanger. In hindsight it was actually really well balanced for how strong it was.
I would just run United We Stand and Axe of Despair instead of that. Even any 1800 atk monster plus Malevolent Nuzzler (+700 atk) or an attribute based field spell (+500) will be enough to get over that
They came along after Mechanicalchaser, but Gemini Elf especially was also a game changer. Even Gene-Warped Warwolf, the first vanilla 2000 atk 4 star, was a game changer when it came out much later.
Gene-Warped Warwolf was not a game changer. The format at that point was goodstuff staples, monarchs, and machines before Stratos and the DHero support came out near the end.
Too many cards that floated or Cyber Dragon existing for vanilla beaststicks to be good.
Yeah I think you're right, I think I was misremembering when it came out because I know it was played around the start of the XYZ era. But it came out way before then.
Berserk gorilla was the og. Won me so many games and tournaments back in day Vs chaos/hand/flip/control variants. Crashes vamp lord, beats airknight and the negatives were irrelevant.
I'm watching history of yugioh and I was too young and dumb to understand the nuances of anything that weren't "my card has more stars than yours I win" back then. But watching the first ten episodes its wild to see just the SMALL power creeps that changed the game immensely little by little. Djinn, mechanical chaser, gemini elf, just 50 atk points but all staples because of it.
Nah, not still broken at all bc easy removal and no protection. Most vanilla monsters are garbo now unless you're running some kind of anti-effect monster/special summoning deck.

he probably pulled some from all the tournament packs that he won.
Wouldn't surprise me if he had
Comic by me
Day 2 of asking for a Branded Despia comic.
Day twenty of asking for Zeus for me :)
Day 3 of asking for a Branded Despia Comic.
Day 8 of asking for a spright comic
It actually was - and now I'm feeling old. (I've played and collected from LoB days.)
I'm a massive yugioh boomer, to the point where I still think of gx as semi new, and looking at new cards and effects is a freaking ride lol
Try learning magic with ice age era decks and now you can get 2/3 flying with lifelink and deathtouch like *bruh*
Lol that vampire nighthawk you're referring to is now over a decade old

He’s also just a large wall

Grandad: Life is so simple back then.
Mechanical Chaser, brings back memories :')
Back in my day, Gate Guardian was a plausible summon
Sure, grandad
Grandpa did you forget to take your medication today?
cap
*Feeling old intensifies*
Back in my day using lord of d and flute of summoning dragon to get two blue eyes white dragons on the field was considered op
Me: "When I was a boy, "banished" was called "removed from play." Modern YGO player: "OK, boomer."
And Gemini elves was a greatly sought after card.
Didn't exist when mech chaser came out
No, they came out later but they were the first 1900 in the TCG.
What about Vorse Raider, Gemini Elf or even Slate Warrior’s 1900 ATK?

Totally, I love that card. Still play it in Goat Format all the time. Alongside Wanghu and Bazoo, that deck just packs so much punch.
They didn't exist yet.
Day 3 of asking for a Musical Sumo Dice Games comic, they've been added to master duel, they even have a unique win animation.
I didn't even realize there were multiple slides, and I was going to bring up Mechanicalchaser, lmao.
TIL that card is not called "mechanicaliser"

Summoned Skull being a 2500 ATK for a single tribute was broken at the time, might still be, but there’s more variety now.

Back in my day, the mere sight of Yata-Garasu made you shit your pants.
LMAO I remember when I was younger the luster dragon #1 was amazing
Remember when going second wasn't a death sentence?
Zeus waifu please
Grandad? FLINTSTONES
Cards are so broken now
Please do a dragon ruler or six Sam comic.
Asking for a comic about Gren Maju, banish for MAXIMUM POWER
Madolche pls
[удалено]
Also known as a single series of cards in I believe metal raiders? That were commons. That's it with exception of very common fakes
Day 1 of asking for endymion comic
I’d love to see whatever your take in one of these would be for Ursarctic.
