for the love of- yu gi oh this, yu gi oh that. the world has to realize yu gi oh is a game with flaws, and lots of them. first of all. in this game, there is such a thing as an ultimate deck. you can fill your deck with kill spells pump ups and a complete abomanation of creatures, and not to mention exodia. that means that there is no real stratagy. all you need is some simple math skills and thats it. "my creature is stronger than yours so it kills it, and whatever damage isn't blocked goes to you." simple subtraction people.

a game like Magic the gathering on the other hand has few flaws. first, the game is not based on creatures alone, so you can actually make a deck without creatures in it, an unthinkable concept in every single other tcg out there. second, the game is based on strategy completely, there is no ultimate deck, you can always build a deck meant to destroy another, no single deck is an unbeatable force. third, magic is one of (if not is) the only game that has counterspells in it. if an opponant plays a card you don't like, you don't have to put up with it being in play or even being played at all. fourth the creatures there are have throngs of different aplicable abilities. abilities that make it so other creatures can't block, abilities that add stats to all other creatures of a certain type. i can go on for hours. and if you want me to, say the word, and i will continue in a second flat. i'm not flaming or anything, but yu gi oh is a kids game, and its getting on my nerves that that's all anyone ever talks about. not even pokemon was this bad, and pokemon has more than yu gi oh.
