#Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards

[prokopetz]

Memes about collectible card games tend to treat Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gu-Oh! as basically interchangeable, but the truth is that each of them is fucked up in completely different ways. In brief:

Magic: The Gathering –

Official rulebook that's about nine hundred pages long

Timing and priority framework with roughly a billion different steps and sub-phases that tries to account for every edge case and technicality like a video game developer trying to stop speedrunners from clipping out of bounds

Authoritative card text resides in a massive centralised database which receives constant updates and errata, such that what's officially printed on a card may bear no particular resemblance to what's physically printed on it

So densely keyworded that a single symbol in a card's text may expand to several paragraphs of rules

Yi-Gi-Oh! TCG –

Judges' rulings in major tournaments create binding precedent which is not subsequently incorporated into the rules, creating situations where fully understanding what a card does may require a knowledge of its complete history of use in tournament play

Multiple mutually incompatible priority, timing and targeting frameworks, such that which framework is used may vary not only from card to card, but among different effects of the same card, determined by differences as small as the placement of one word

Legacy cards may receive permission to resolve their effects according to what the rules were at the time of their printing

See the difference?

- Your deepest and most intense and profound emotions being inexorably entangled with particular dragons

- Some of the tensest sexual tension you've ever seen between two men with large hair (the hair) who are trying to kill each other with trading cards

- VERY ENORMOUS HAND AND ARM GESTURES

- Talking to your trading cards and they talk back

- A man in a big coat being a big bitch

- OSTs that have absolutely no business going as hard as they do

- Monsters with suspiciously juicy asses

- Solving and/or causing all your problems with card games

- Being sent to the hospital with a lethal case of Played Card Games Too Hard

- The hair getting EVEN BIGGER to show just exactly how fucking CRAZY you are getting

- A young idiot learning that he is queer how to play card games better

Stuff that happens every now and then in Yu-Gi-Oh:

- Playing actual Yu-Gi-Oh

Whenever I’m feeling sad I remember this card exists and feel a bit better.

I’m still crying over how if you put the first bits of their names together it makes the fucking word friendship

GRAHHH

I need to find a better way to colour with this specific art style because the airbrush is kind of making their clothing look a bit goofy

Personally I like the sketch best
