Unless you mean the VERY beginning where Summoned Skull was considered the best monster in the game.

Of those, the only one that was really dominantly used was Chaos.
Though it could just be my personal timing (Since, by the time I started playing more competitively, Yata lock was banned, Exodia was too slow at the time, and I honestly just never ran into Goats).

I realize now Yugioh has essentially been one big power creep to sell cards. Any OP deck formulas recently introduced would be nerfed in about a year, but a stronger deck would come out. For fuck's sake, the game at the beginning was a lot slower and required tributes, but by the time Zexal came around, you could almost make monsters out of thin air by just so happening to have monsters with the same level.

Yeah this is pretty much the reason why I stopped collecting the cards. It's hard to keep up unless your willing to dump a whole lot of money into the game, and even then only certain decks can truly be competitive.

This is why as a card game, I like Vanguard way more as it gives you more freedom to make whatever kind of deck you want and be competitive with it.

GX was also the first time I watched Yugioh in Japanese and man, what a huge difference that made.

Of course, they had to do Kaiba and Blue Eyes

I wonder how these scale next to the Figmas? Cause I would not mind getting the Kaiba to go a long with my Figma Yugi.

Is there a new version of Blue Eyes, because I know about 4 different Blue Eyes artworks, and that doesn't correspond with any of them.

Does anyone when Dark Side of Dimensions tickets go on sale? The movie is getting a limited release in the US in January.

How far has the current Yu-Gi-Oh franchise deviated from the original?
I don't collect and play the cards but I want to know which season after the original is a decent watch. I saw some of GX when it was on TV out of boredom back in the day and heard that 5Ds is Fast and the Furious + Judge Dredd + card games but never watched it. Anyways, let me know if there is a post-original show season you guys feel is worth watching.

Huh we have a thread for this... I guess I'll post my deck questions here

Never read the manga, but based on what little research I've done on it it seems that characters have different cards/decks that they never used in the show.

Like Jaden using Masked Heroes as part of his deck, and him getting Winged Kuriboh from a different person.

Read the first 7 volumes of the Manga. Because it's not trying to advertise anything, it's a lot more varied, with multiple different games that Yugi and friends play. Hell, Bakura is a Dungeons and Dragons fanatic (Volume 8 and onwards is called Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist, which is the Duel Kingdom arc and on).

Concerning shows, GX is pretty decent once it starts delving into the characters, and I hear 5Ds isn't bad, either.
Never watched the other two to really say much on them.
