Watching Yu-Gi-Oh! short videos is making the veteran players lose...

Yusei Hoshi remembered all the times he had excitedly opened Master Duel for a match, only to run into an Eldlich player going first and getting locked down so hard he couldn't make a single play. His good mood for dueling would instantly shatter.

But when he himself played Eldlich and trapped other people, the satisfaction was a completely different feeling. All he could say was, you can hate Eldlich, but you won't hate it when you're the one playing it!

...

VRAINS World

After watching the entire Eldlich showcase and analyzing the potential board states and the likely set cards in the backrow, Yusaku Fujiki had finished organizing his thoughts. And the more he organized, the more he discovered the terrifying aspect of this archetype.

That is, the Trap-heavy backrow had too many variations. Because of this, facing an Eldlich player who set five cards at once was just too difficult to deal with!

"Yusaku, if we want to deal with this kind of degenerate archetype," Skye Zaizen asked, blinking her big, watery eyes at Yusaku, "what can we do to break the stalemate? Have you figured it out?"

In their VR world, although the Link-based monster archetypes weren't overly afraid of disruption, being constantly interrupted would still make anyone's mentality explode. At the very least, her Trickstars would not want to face a deck like this. It was just too painful.

"Hmm, it's not impossible to deal with," Yusaku began his analysis.

"First breakthrough point: they go second, you go first. As long as you establish your own board first, their disruption won't be as effective."

"Second breakthrough point: run more backrow removal. For example, a card like Heavy Storm Duster! It can return all set cards to the hand, easily dealing with Eldlich's backrow! This will increase our chances of winning."

"Third breakthrough point: just play it by ear. After all, you can't control what cards you have in your hand. You can only act according to the situation."

"...."

Yusaku's three points made the nearby Soulburner's mouth twitch. He wanted to refute something, but he didn't know how. On second thought, what Yusaku said wasn't wrong. A duel is ever-changing, and every card can lead to a different outcome. It was really hard to say if one could break through when facing Eldlich.

...

5DS World

Just like Yusaku, Yusei Fudo was also analyzing the situation. After a period of calm contemplation, the solution he came up with was not much different from Yusaku's. But what was different was that Yusei had also found an interesting solution!

"Perhaps Akiza was right," Yusei mused. "We can use destruction. To be precise, deck destruction. Remember Masked HERO Dark Law from the HERO archetype?"

His question sent a jolt through the other duelists! An idea immediately emerged! That's right! Masked HERO Dark Law! If they had a card with an effect like Dark Law's, would Eldlich dare to send cards to the Graveyard so casually? If they sent anything to the Graveyard, it would be banished! Without resources, an Eldlich deck that could only make one push wouldn't be so scary, would it?

What's more, the Life Points in this higher world seemed to be fixed at 8000! Getting OTK'd in one go wasn't so simple!

"As expected of Yusei!" Luna's eyes lit up with a clever glint. "Banishment is definitely one method. I also thought of another one: burn damage. We don't attack, but we also play a degenerate burn strategy. We use burn effects to finish off Eldlich first!" And there were indeed quite a few burn archetypes, they just hadn't seen them yet.

...

DM World

Unlike the other worlds, the old-school duelists of the first generation were more concerned with the Eldlich archetype itself rather than finding ways to counter it. Every image of Eldlich was deeply engraved in their minds. Seto Kaiba, after watching the entire video, couldn't help but feel emotional. From Blue-Eyes, to HEROes, and finally to Eldlich, he had seen too many things that surpassed his understanding. In contrast, the decks from their old era... perhaps not a single one could stand a chance against the decks from Yusei Hoshi's higher world.

Yugi Muto: "Mr. Yusei Hoshi, this video is about to end. Could you please look for a Dark Magician deck showcase?"

Yugi Muto: "To be honest with you, I have a friend, perhaps you already know, the Pharaoh. I want to learn about the future development of Dark Magician through your world."

In the main world, Yusei Hoshi saw the message from Yugi Muto pop up in the chat. Dark Magician? If it's really Yugi Muto asking, then it's worth taking a look at this fan-favorite deck.

Dark Magician was different from Blue-Eyes. Blue-Eyes was a deck that Dragon-loving players could enjoy. But Dark Magician... was probably only played by true fans, right? At least, Yusei Hoshi had never really played Dark Magician much.

Yusei Hoshi: "If it's for you, Mr. Yugi Muto, then Dark Magician is no problem. I'll find one for you."

Yugi Muto: "Thank you very much, Mr. Yusei Hoshi. If possible, Magnet Warriors, Gandora, and others would also be appreciated."

Yusei Hoshi: "Leave it to me."

After the conversation ended, the nearby Weevil, Mai, Rex, and Pegasus were all stunned! Was this person from the higher world really this easy to talk to? He actually agreed? Was Dark Magician about to take the stage?
