  Yu-Gi-Oh is still best game at the end of the day! But I guess Magic the Gathering is _alright_. 🤷🏾‍♂️<br>Check out all our other MTG x YGO videos with the Professor here - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR9jhO9W17H64OrPhkcqpHAK6z4cK0npb">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR9jhO9W17H64OrPhkcqpHAK6z4cK0npb</a>

  As someone that has both played and been a judge for each game, the Rules Lawyering exists in both games, however... they are done in very different ways. <br><br>MTG has a comprehensive set of rules. They are 281 pages long (as of June &apos;23) and tend to over rule what a card says it does if that action leads to a player taking illegal actions (i.e. Player 1 casts Murder to destroy a creature controlled by Player 2, but that creature has Hexproof, meaning it cannot be targeted. Player 1 engaged in an illegal action.)<br><br>Meanwhile, Yu-Gi-Oh&apos;s ruleset is mostly determined by the cards themselves. The rule guide for beginners even says something to the effect of &quot;If a card says it does something that goes against the basic rules, follow what the card says.&quot;. It leads to cards having to be so wordy because without that it leaves everything up to interpretation and the Rules Lawyering only gets worse, or Konami has to put out those articles specifying how a card is meant to work and we pretty much have to treat it as &quot;Because Konami Said So&quot; even if it makes no sense. <br><br>I&apos;ve seen MTG players bring a notebook with citations from the rules to try and argue why an interaction works the way they think it does. I&apos;ve had Yu-Gi-Oh players scream in my face that I&apos;m wrong about a ruling while reciting card text to me over and over. Both games are filled with those types of people.

  The whole argument about the placing of cards on the board was epic xD

  Larry was present, pondering over a new collection to begin

  The line of text on nearly every monster that states &quot;the effect of insert name here card can only be used once per turn&quot; really does take up so much space, if once per turn and soft once per turn we somehow keworded there would be a lot less text on each card

  &quot;That explains your draws on that episode&quot;<br><br>Jeez, the Prof really sent Paul to the Shadow Realm with that comment.<br><br>Once again, I&apos;m SO happy to see two of my favorite TCG channels collabing more and more, and I hope this is something that&apos;s becoming relatively frequent. Keep it up both of you &lt;3

  Didn&apos;t even notice the 17 minutes go. This just reinforces that we need to figure out a casual format. MTG can be just as sweaty, but we can&apos;t be as chill as MTG Commander? Why not?

  Magic player here: I think if Yu gi oh had diferent formats it would attract more players. Start playing Yugi now is like throwing a new player in to legacy with a standard precon deck.

  I really wanna see Prof try yugioh the same way team APS has tried magic, i know he did a vid of them trying to walk him through a game but it really felt more like a joke than him genuinely trying out the game and seeing what he thinks which id really like to see

  Why is Larry perfect in the role of marriage therapist?

  I wish yugioh had a multiplayer format. 4 player game mode or tag duel side modes have always been exciting in the games.
