When there was no card limit on the Extra Deck (sorry, FUSION deck). Imagine if that were the case today...

[mrdude]

I definitely remember when Spell Card were once known as Magic Card. Those were the day.

For me a big change with modern yugioh was that more than 1 field spell can be on the field. I thought it was an interesting feature.

Man, I remember I had one of those unofficial collector's guides that had a complete set list for Legend of Blue Eyes. The only thing is there was a typo on the list. According to the guide, there was an ultra rare "Blues Eyes Black Dragon" in the set and me and my friend thought that meant there was a super secret fusion of Red Eyes and Blue Eyes that we never heard about. So while everyone else was looking for Chaos Emperor Dragon, our dumbasses were buying LoB packs so we could pull a fusion monster that didn't even exist.

I remember when the fusion zone was done in a rich, purple color, it looked really nice against the dark yellow-ish starter deck mats.

I remember when “Magic Rulers” introduced Ritual Monsters.

Relinquish was a nightmare for judges.

Remember when there was no such thing as cards changing effects over time to nerf them? RIP Goyo.

Also Priority.

THANK YOU for mentioning the old art <3 I miss the creepy/forbidden vibes the artwork gave off.

[randomguy]

Remember when cards were referred to as being "removed from play" instead of banished? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[ndep]

That old school smell of the cards when you opened the packs.

Polymerization
"Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, sometimes Pendulum, and Link Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material."

[sullyshaheed]

Ahh yes, back in the day before cards could 'miss the timing'.

I live in a border city in Mexico and there was a Toys R Us on the city north of the border. When I was a teenager, around the time Invasion of Chaos or Dark Crisis released I remember crossing the border and taking the bus to that store and playing in tournaments. It was so much fun, I still have some pins they gave to everyone who assisted.

[cnssegura]

Dude, I remember just about everything because I've played every single format since the game has begun. xD lol

[raikazuchi]

"EVERY day BEFORE school"? Man, I'm the same age and from the same area as you and I don't know a single channel that had Yu-Gi-Oh on at any time except once a week, Saturday mornings.

I guess the three other things that I Remember about the Old School Yu Gi Oh is after thing about it is that...

1= Back Then Cards Are Much Easier to read and Understand Back Then or At least Try to Understand, and the Normal Monster Cards have such Cool Flavor Text like "This Monster Grants Any Wish To Anyone That is Wise Enough To Catch It" or "It Is Said That In Ancient Times This Monster Rains Supreme" or whatever

2= Back Then The Blue Eyes White Dragon was that Monster and Deck To Play Because of its Seer Power and Brut Force of it.

3= Back Then Starter Decks Don't really Come with any sort of Theme or Archetype Deck, just Random Cards that the Characters in the Anime Used, and they simply weren't that much Support Cards for Boss Monster Such as Red Eyes and Blue Eyes and Dark Magician and so at least Not Like how we have today

[BmanTheChamp]

Oh man, the memories and nostalgia from playing in my HS years... I didn't go to many tournaments, even back then I knew my deck wasn't good but I still competed at a few tourneys this local card shop put on from time to time.

Met a few people and bonded and became really good friends with some of them for years over playing Yu-Gi-Oh, don't talk to them much anymore.

Then there were these times where one of my teachers opened up the lunchroom after school for a bunch of us to duel, one time there was a 10-man battle royal I was in, I don't remember how well I did but I know I wasn't the last one standing.


So yeah, a lot of fond memories.

My earliest Yugioh memories: first pack I opened a Darkfire Soldier #2 and was convinced he was my signature card. I thought you played by sending in 9 cards in a 3x3 grid vs your opponents 9 and flipped them one by one, role playing the battles between the cards. On my birthday my dad got me a Kaiba tin with my first Blue eyes white dragon, however the card was too valuable for me to touch according to him and he held onto it for safekeeping (no, he did not play the game ever, and I have no idea where it went- never saw it after that day). After getting a large collection, my Floridian cousin(s) stole my favorite cards, including Zoa, which I thought was a devolved Obelisk the Tormentor so I was heartbroken. I never had anyone to play with so I would build theme decks in my room after figuring out the rules from Yugioh: 7 Trials of Glory. My sister would come into my room intermittently to kick over my decks. I had a birthday party where I invited all my friends to watch the first Yugioh movie in theaters. My mom and two sisters gave me their promotional cards from the movie so I was ecstatic to have 4 super rare and strong cards of my own. Fast forward to this year and I’m amassing a collection again and getting really into deckbuilding!

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't know that they stopped the first turn draw. I mean, I still do it with the people I play the game with. Note: I don't play professionally, it's just for fun
