Get the YuGiTard mug.Describes a certain demographic of people who watched the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Series on TV, and played casually with friends during the initial popularity. These are people who complain about broken cards and mechanics, the competitive scene, and long card text of modern Yu-Gi-Oh! cards when:
1. Cards around that era were arguably just as broken, if not more so. A good portion of cards on the Forbidden and Limited List (a list that restricts certain cards from being used in official tournaments) came out during the "ol' days" yugiboomers mention, and have never came off since.
2. Even during the initial launch of the card game, there was always a metagame. It was never JUST invented. There were always cards that were better than others, even back then (Ex: The 1900 Attack Gemini Elf was objectively better than the 1850 Attack Mechanicalchaser).
3. Card text is longer in modern Yu-Gi-Oh, but is infinitely easier to understand. This was due to a lot of unnecessary bloat in older card text, especially during the series' heyday. Some cards would have text that was completely unnecessary, or even not tell you entirely what the card did (Ex: the first few prints of Waboku did not say your monsters could not be destroyed in battle, even tho it was ruled to be that way in official tournaments and in video games).
While some complaints of modern Yu-Gi-Oh are exclusive to modern times, a lot of others were also there since the beginning as well.
