New Yu-Gi-Oh! format: Genesys

[Jayonnaise6105 Jayonnaise6105]

I guess Konami are introducing another new format to try and freshen up the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game:
https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/genesys/

The gist is to eliminate both Link & Pendulum summoning, remove the ban-list and assign each usable card a point value with your deck having a total point cost limit.

They'll likely balance this format out a bit more once more people have had a chance to play it and give feedback, but the point values assigned to each card seem a bit arbitrary to me.

Yugioh peaked with Synchro and XYZ, getting rid of Link and Pendulum is a good call, but I don't know if removing the ban-list is a good idea. The point values assigned to some cards is weird too.

I guess is save to say konami attempt to fix pendulum with link is totally fail.

I brute forced my way into understanding Pendulums, but I never could wrap my head around Link summoning

Imo for video games atleast they should introduce a system that only lets you play cards up to a single point.
For example in the GX League you can only play Fusion, Ritual etc. No Syncro, XYZ, Pendulum, Link.
That´s why I like Rush Duel in Duel Links, fewer cards, fewer rules, fewer summons, big fun!

Damn, I happen to love the link system.
I'm not sure how I'd feel about a point system for building a deck though.

Yeah, I'm not sure about it either. A few GBA games had that sort of cost system, but I don't know if I'd apply that to real world duels. Have to see how it goes, I guess

Genesys? Terminator?

Genesys? Terminator?

I thought the same

I've been asking for more official formats in Yu-Gi-Oh for a long time now, glad to FINALLY see it happen. Not exactly what I would have done, but I'll take it. The main format has been very stale to me for some time now.

So kind of a blend of classic Duel Links and the deck cost system in Duelist of the Roses? Sounds pretty fun!
