I've been a Yu Gi Oh Player for the longest time. I've a fondness for this game and it's unique style of cards, and I've played through most of its lifespan. As a rather casual player, I never really cared about what was meta and what wasn't, I was there to have fun with my favourite cards and deck and I didn't really care what was considered "strong" at the moment. 

But let me tell you, I've NEVER, EVER seen such a disgrace of a change in a game such as the Master Rule 4, AKA the 2017 changes. They really enforced players to ABSOLUTELY BUY AND PLAY their new set of overly stupid and bad cards ( Most links of the time were the most mediocre stuff ever, you know it when Missus Radiant is mentioned ), and the decks that didn't receive a link just straight got decked in nuts. 

That made me quit. That genuinely made me leave the game, a game I've been loving for so long. I'm still baffled at how that decision EVER made it out the room it was whispered. When I heard about the Master Rule 5, my heart couldn't have been happier. During my hiatus, the only new deck I had built from day 1 was the MathMech, which got MASSIVELY better due to the Master Rule 5 changes, so my patience had been awarded. 

People who likes to **** on Master Rule 3 seems to forget that at the time there were plenty of decks in the meta that didn't rely on pendulum, Monarchs, Nekroz as mentioned, yes, but also Burning Abyss, Shaddoll, Zoodiac, and so many more. Even if the pendulum had taken over, the small league players could still play their dogpoo Synchron Deck against their buddy with the Qliphort, and no one would bat an eye. 

The Master Rule 4 smashed that concept to piece. Oh you wanna play Synchron? *No*. 

Don't you EVER try to pull something out of your *** like the MR4, Konami. I'll find you and bite the ankles of your employees.
