  I only played against this card once as a kid, who was very proud of acquiring it. The other guy went first and summoned it right away. I set Wall of Illusion and he attacked it on his next turn, sending it back to his hand. He summoned it again and I brought out Summoned Skull the next turn and blew it up. Don&apos;t remember how the duel ended but will never forget the crestfallen look on his face.

  I think the worst contender for almost killing the game was definitely Crush Card. Tournament prize only, then short printed in one set and immediately banned afterwards. Actual evil business practices

  Always funny to look back and realize Power Creep was woven into Yugioh’s very invention

  This would make a great series, going through the history of meta progression

  I will never forget the time and feeling of using Dark Magician equipped with Book of Secret Arts, with Yami and Witch’s Apprentice on the field to destroy my brother’s Blue-Eyes White Dragon and winning the game.<br>3500 Dark Magician vs a 2600 Blue-Eyes White Dragon. 900 damage to his 800lps.

  I never realized how the starter decks mirrored each other, that&apos;s a very nice little detail

  Funnily enough the only time I EVER saw Mechanical Chaser back in the day was when my opponent ran it into my Wall of Illusion and lost two turns later. Don&apos;t get me wrong, it was a strong card at the time but it wasn&apos;t a guarantee to get you at the top of the bracket like some people make it out to have been. An extra 50ATK wasn&apos;t as explosive as you think when generic spells and traps were absolutely bananas out of the gate.

  Great video. Only thing I think this is missing is how important the DARK attribute was in the first few sets of the game. Sword of Dark Destruction and Yami were the only equipment that saw play until Metal Raiders gave us Sword of Deep Seated. While the equip meta would die off by the third set, the inclusion of enough kids at locals playing Yami made La Jinn much more valuable an asset than Seven Colored Fish. The fact that Chaser could also combo with Jinzo and Limiter Removal was also quite nuts.
