@Heavyarms55 I tried to get into Pokemon (I like the games and anime so much). When I got some hands-on experience with it, it was so fun! The only problem I have is it rendering cards of the past almost useless... My big bro gave me his Pokemon card collection to start me off... I found some great and cool looking cards like Ditto or Gym leader cards I even had a birthday the same day (that was his gift to me). I couldn't wait to try them out! But when I went to my birthday party (I think it was my 12th) I got another amazing gift! Someone got me this Unova Reshiram starter set (it even had a Reshiram figure that I still have to this day). I rushed home in the evening to construct my all-star deck, complete with old and new cards... But then I noticed that all the newest cards had an average health of 110HP and the older ones had an average of about 30-70HP. This blew my mind! I was so confused about it. But I was determined to make my Pokemon themed mark on the world (or at least in junior high). When I encountered other trainers there I was amazed to see that they all used old cards and new cards alike! In the end I had established myself as one of the best in my group with a heated rival! I one my games utilizing my 30HP New with its signature move: Deveolution Beam to revert his powerful cards into base monsters. I had become the leader of my own 'gym' in a way (and I made some great friends😄)... That was until someone new came from a different school... I remember it was like it was yesterday. His name was Cedric and he was also a trainer like me, the only difference? He carried with him only new cards, specifically the newest meta of that time EX cards... He destroyed all of my friends including me with my invincible army of old and new cards (I even had a couple of EX cards myself at the time. My favorite that I acquired and used was an autographed EX Mewtwo). Needless to say even Cedric quickly became a new member to OUR 'gym' (we were essentially the two strongest trainers so we co-owner it). This was the beginning of how Pokemon eventually renders older cards weaker or useless to newer cards. I'll revisit my example earlier with EX cards. We thought they were the strongest until they introduced Mega Evolutions. After that they introduced the legendary EX killer themselves the Breakthrough Pokemon (any project monster that didn't receive a mega evolution basically had 'break' form). Guess what Break mode's signature trademark was... Double damage to EX cards! Now I hear they are introducing Tag-Team cards?! Who knows what those will do?

@AlienX I was the same way at first. Pendulum Summoning was introduced when I was in Junior High, it was a very confusing era of fumbling through the actual rules (and ones we made up because none of us had the official rulebook). Later on I had a chance to buy a structure deck (Zombie Horde). On the back of it lied a web address for Konami's rulebook online. There I found helpful videos on how Synchro, XYZ, Pendulum, and even Link Summoning on there. It helped me understand everything new they added (and took away because of Link Summoning). I encourage you to check out either the official rulebook or Konami's website if you ever want to be caught up with all the new rule changes and summoning systems😉

@GameOtaku I was thinking the same thing! I LOVE Yu-Gi-Oh! and then the same day I hear about a newly refurbished Battle City Duel Disk with updated visuals and card zones (extra deck, graveyard, etc.) with a bunch of amazing sound effects to be released next year... I'm hyped! I've kept up with Yu-Gi-Oh even in its physical meta (although the day they debuted pendulum summons😭 it almost made me quit) in fact I'm an avid player for digital dueling on Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links (the awesome mobile app that's free to download) so I'm looking forward to see what this year (and the next) brings for Yu-Gi-Oh and Konami as a whole!
