In my opinion, the main problem was power creep. Not just in terms of pendulum monsters, but Yu-Gi-Oh has had a huge problem with power creep that has only gotten bigger over the decades. I think a lot of people were reaching their limit around the Zexal era and the addition of pendulums with the new summons and extra effects and gamespeed just threw them over the edge. I know I was starting to feel the creep way back in the 5Ds era.

Not arguing with your statement, actually agreeing with it. The mass summoning didn't bother me about pendulums, the fact it was treated as a big deal and different from swarm based decks did.

Because pendulums existed MR4 was made very restrictive, because pendulums existed non-pendulum decks needed to have ways to respond to them specifically, because pendulums existed swarming is the primary playstyle of Yugioh. It's not a bad mechanic, it just was not very well playtested before release to the point its fallout still influences the game.

Pendulums weren't what made me quit the game initially, I quit before pendulums due to life getting too busy and getting into MTG. However, pendulums WERE the thing that kept me from ever trying the game again until master duel. They are EXTREMELY anti-newcomer. Like, yes, once you know how they work, they aren't actually all that complicated, but in a TCG, the more rules you have to learn from a rulebook that you cant figure out on the fly by playing the game, the worse of an experience for new players the game is. And with pendulums, you can take one look at a card and know you have no idea what it does and no amount of reading the card will change that. That is really, really bad for attracting people to the game. And I think the effect was just amplified for lapsed players. If you know the rules to yugioh but still cant figure out what a card does after reading it, you're going to feel like the game just got away from what it was. Not trying to be all yugioh boomer, I've been playing master duel and find the game enjoyable even if I can't play random normal monsters in defense mode and pass turn anymore. It's a different game, but still fun. I just think them introducing pendulums into the game was a big mistake for player retention and for bringing in new players. It's a really, really weird card type.
@CNightmare072

Agreed. The biggest problem with them is "readability." YGO cards already have infamously big textboxes & even combo pieces can have complicated effects, so the fact that you need to remember multiple modes on a series of card types, which could both have these giant walls of text, then remembering which mode is active as a monster vs a scale...it's just a mess. Not even going into how the mechanic works & the OTHER quirks it has (going to extra deck face up). Even if these were just all multi-mode monsters that could be played as continuous spells for different effects...I agree that it's incredibly anti-newcomer and the complexity up-front to a new player pushed people away from the game more than anything.

There was a time when I tried to get back into Yu-Gi-Oh and I had a hard time with Synchros. I took one look at a Pendulum card and said Fuck No, and went to play Magic. XYZ were the perfect mechanic, easy & intuitive. You could pick it up in two sentences and be good to go. Synchros, a little less intuitive but okay. Links, not nearly as intuitive but still manageable. Fucking Pendulums are a nightmare and despite knowing largely how the game is played, I still don't understand them. They're so sacky and either are extremely OP and borderline unbeatable or lose instantly. There's never an in between and Konami should let the mechanic fade.

Honestly Konami will eventually have to power creep pendulum summoning down to what they did with fusion summoning in the early format but I look at this type of summoning mechanic and it's basically you have to run an exclusively pend deck to get the most out of it. But it's draw back is that for having monsters who can also double as spells your not really getting the best of both worlds unless you really commit the mechanic. With synchro and xyz you can afford to splash them into decks because their summoning mechanic heavily relies on understanding the level of the monsters you have in your extra deck and knowing what to place in your main deck to add up to that xyz and special summon: xyz is easier since just need two cards of the same level to bring them out, with synchro lol...if people complained about this type of summoning y'all don't know how to identify a tuner and worst is y'all don't know how to add 😂😂😂

Synchros are the only mechanic that have effects that for the most parts don't have any kind of conditions to their effects or are obtuse to use. Things like pendulum or fusion have the strangeness of using other cards to facilitate them. XYZ monsters need material as cost, usually limiting them to two uses of their effects, and lots of link monsters need to be linked for their effects. Synchros are the most organic by far with stuff like scrap dragon or red dragon just have traditional effects.

Link monsters are more OP than pendulums ever were and there's no going back now, because they needed to make the link monsters so generic... There are actually some exceptions where I like link summoning like in @ignisters, sky striker or world legacy archetype. But yeah links were the first extra deck mechanic, that actually triggered me...

@Aquarium Gravel Say that when Master Rule 4 was one and pretty much any good deck was only using Link Monsters in their decks. Seeing a different kind of monster from the Extra Deck beside Links Monsters back in Master Rule 4 was VERY rare. Although when it comes to Pendulums...I feel like Konami nowadays may hate Pendulums. They got more and more nerfed during Master Rule 4 and 5 and nowadays rarely gets any new Pendulums or any new Archetypes that use Pendulum Monsters. I think nowadays Pendulum Monsters, in general, are the type of cards that least get new cards about it.

@@tomas_crusader1756 I think it's up for debate. Since those nerfs end up making Pendulums be easily the weakest and least spammable method of Special Summon in all of Yu-Gi-Oh!...maybe only ahead of Ritual Summon. Cuz here the thing. The fact that you depend on two cards in your Spell/Trap Zones together with them having scales with numbers low and high enough for the monsters you want to summon in your hand makes it quite fair to be easy to spam. After all, Link Monsters is the absolute definition of absolutely brainless spamming. I honestly have a few balance changes that Konami could give to Pendulums to try to make them more balance. One of them would be that you can only 3 monsters from your extra deck per turn instead of just 1. In exchange to balance it, the whole "GY" immunity that Pendulums have would only apply if they are destroyed by battle. If they are destroyed by battle, they go to the extra deck, if they are destroyed by any other method, spell or trap or monsters effects, they will go to the GY. One upside that I thought but could end up making it a bit too broken would be that: For each Pendulum card in the Pendulum Zone that is destroyed BY YOUR ENEMY, NOT BY YOURSELF, you get to draw 1 card. This could be balanced out so this way you could potentially draw a card to refill the Pendulum Zone you just lost for your Pendulum summon. One thing I noticed about most Pendulum decks is how their ability to stay in the field, having draw and searching power is something that they lack quite a lot. Although this could be just me imagining things because Pendulums is my favorite method of summoning and I love my Odd-Eyes deck.

@@cristianovogt5586 Your suggestion of rebalancing Pends to allow 3 extra deck summons in exchange for only going to the extra deck when destroyed by battle would completely invalidate many pendulum engines. Odd Eyes no longer goes to the extra deck if it uses its effect on the pendulum scale. D/D/D pendulum monsters on the field no longer go to the extra deck if they're used for another summon. Both decks are reliant on these core mechanics to function - the first so that it can play the grind game, the second so that it can combo. If your suggested change went through these decks would be dead. They're only 2 examples as well. Having to be destroyed by battle to gain a desirable effect is generally considered too slow in this day and age.

I think a fairly big reason why people didn't (or still don't) pendulums, is how far removed they are from the rest of the game. Which ties in to how (un)intuitive they are, I guess. Synchros were... basically fusion monsters, with less restrictions, you could say. You have monsters on the board, and use those to make a bigger one by sending them to the grave.The main complaint about those, was their powerlevel. XYZ was sort of the next step, where the whole thing of keeping the materials on the card happened. That's still similar enough to, let's say, equipment cards. Yes, that's probably a stretch, but I'm trying to get behind how people went to lengths to "rationalize" the cards' behaviour. Pendulums... yeah. new zones *and* an existing zone being used differently *and* the cards don't really behave like pretty much any other card, in that they don't go to the grave when leaving the board? That feels like it's an entirely different game. Link Monsters still have that extra zones stuff, though I guess after pendulums people were easier to accept them. But they're still fairly intuitive by how the summoning works at least. Even their effects that apply to/from cards they point to (which I'd say is their main mechanic), those are entirely readable from the card itself, no need to grab a rulebook. Well, I guess the restriction on extra deck summons comes with them as well, but even that feels fairly tame after pendulums. All of them besides pendulums have something in common. They're in the extra deck like regular fusions, they are summoned from the extra deck like others, they go to the grave like others. If I didn't know about pendulums and someone I'm playing against puts them back to the extra deck, I'd very much ask what the heck he is doing. For a cheating attempt, that's a bit *too* blatant, else I'd asusme that. And while the materials of the XYZ cards staying (sorta) on the board would make me at least raise an eyebrow, it's easy to see from their effects that something like that is supposed to happen. I do wonder what my opinion would be, if Links came out before Pendulums. I do think I would've minded them more than I did this way, but nowhere as much as pendulums.

XYZ's whole detaching cards for effects thing may have been a bit odd, if you happened to play Pokemon TCG, removing card's for effects is pretty common, I mean it's literally on the most popular Pokemon card, so it's not like that's unheard of. And while keeping the materials attached was odd for Yugioh, actually playing the XYZ monster was essentially just another take on fusions/Synchros. But I have a hard time thinking of something inside or outside of Yugioh that you could refer to for pendulums. Maybe there is, but I haven't seen it in Pokemon, Digimon, or MTG

I honestly just couldn't be bothered to learn a new mechanic so different than what I was used to.

I felt it could be broken at the time but I also hoped it would make some slower decks more playable - like Steelswarm. The mechanic that actually turned me off was link monsters - restrictions for summoning anything from the extra deck and that made link monsters mandatory for the majority of decks. It was too restrictive in my opinion - even Konami backed it (mostly) down later. Now I think it is kinda nice as it is usually less restrictive (links monsters usually don't have level requirementa for material, as an example).

When pendulum first came out, I was more confused than upset. I got into the game when xyz monsters first appeared so its not like I had old school yugioh attachment as some of the veterans, but I understand where they were coming from. For me, I was still trying to master xyz summoning with my zexal deck, and by the time I made xyz my ace summon method, pendulums came out then boom, basically have to learn the game all over again. However, despite that, I can never say I was bored or irritated by pendulum cards. It was a new mechanic, and even when I was 12 at the time, I knew konomai did this to spice up the game, and good on them for doing so. I never really saw it as broken, as most decks at the time were still functional without them. Sure, it was kinda repetitive seeing TG magician and SG magician with odd-eyes every time, but that the flow of the game with new mechanics. Learning, for me at least, was made easier when I saw the anime, but of course, not all things translate to real dueling. To this day, while I am an XYZ master, I am still trying to master pendulum summoning as my second go-to. I have made this trickster-style performapal deck to help me out, but I wish I could go all out like we used to during rule 3. Mastering pendulum now was made even harder for me since links first came out, which is a summoning method I will never enjoy. In conclusion, my personal ranking of summoning styles mainly focuses on the more recent ones (except links), but I still found a way to enjoy each and every single one, no matter how much I prefer one over others. 1. XYZ 2.Pendulum 3.Synchro 4.Fusion 5.ritual 6.Links

definitely agree pendulums aren't half as bad as people make them out be, yeah they can be a big wall of texts sometimes but you can simplify the texts by spacing them apart and adding numbers before them like this. Astrograph Sorcerer Pendulum Effect: (1) During your Main Phase: You can destroy this card, and if you do, take 1 "Stargazer Magician" from your hand or Deck, and either place it in your Pendulum Zone or Special Summon it. You can only use this effect of "Astrograph Sorcerer" once per turn. Monster Effect: (1) If a card(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then you can choose 1 monster in the GY, Extra Deck, or that is banished, and that was destroyed this turn, and add 1 monster with the same name from your Deck to your hand. (2)You can banish this card you control, plus 4 monsters from your hand, field, and/or GY (1 each with "Pendulum Dragon", "Xyz Dragon", "Synchro Dragon", and "Fusion Dragon" in their names); Special Summon 1 "Supreme King Z-ARC" from your Extra Deck. (This is treated as a Fusion Summon.) before deciding on whether or not to put them in your deck, I mean most of the time comes to pendulums or even other cards in generally is that no one reads texts and give the same excuse that there's to much texts if you use example above that wont be a problem. My favourite Summoning Methods 1. Synchro 2. Xyz 3. Pendulum 4. Fusion 5. Ritual 6. Link Yes I hate Link monsters after all the hell cause in MR4 I'll never forgive them

Pendulums are what brought me back to Yu-Gi-Oh. I played super casually, and because of that when playing online I'd get absolutely destroyed by almost every deck I'd come across. Whether it was them summoning ridiculous amounts of creatures or just board wiping me and eating me alive. I recently discovered D/D/D, and now I feel like I finally have a chance, not only can I hold my own against some of the better decks out there, if I play my cards right I can even win. Pendulums in modern era aren't hard to deal with, just pop their scales and they usually start to flounder, then you put pressure on them and they can't recover usually as to even attempt to pendulum summon you have to go -2. Everyone wants to complain about how they are resource less but fails to take into consideration how much of your deck has to be devoted to performing the summons because if you can't get out good scales then you're done for.

When I first saw the early Pendulum Monsters, and thought it was a brilliant idea since they were all Normal Monsters. I thought it was a great way to make them viable (as a spell cards, or as a monster when you needed it.) But then that ended quickly when they became Effect/Pendulums near exclusively, thus power creeping. Pendulum Summoning however was what made me quit competitive Yu-gi-oh. Because it turned the game into a war of attrition. Something that, even with archetypes being able to summon half their deck in one turn, the game was NOT designed for, thus throwing off what balance remained. (Need I remind you of that one deck that was tier... -2! And took about 2-3 emergency banned list to take down.) Then MR4 tried to fix thing, but it ended up funneling everyone into Link Monster, and I gave up on the physical game all together. Now I play the digital versions exclusively (From Gameboy Color to Switch).

@@tpsam That's a good question that I really can't answer, as each one was made in a diffrent format of the game it really depends on your tastes, plus there's the Non-Card-Game games as well. But to try to answer the question, here are some that I like going back to. "Eternal Duelist Soul" (GBA) is the earliest of the proper card game simulators (it also had many cards that did not, and for some STILL have not, been imported into the TCG). So if you want the game with the smallest card pool, for a "back-to-basics" style of dueling, you can find carts for cheep. "Nightmare Troubadour" (DS, but did not mark the end of GBA YGO games strangely enough) was the last DM era game to come out before the GX era. It's chapter/level system unlocks pack at a reasonable pace, allowing you to build-up your deck with the best of each pack, and actually appreciate the weaker cards for a bit, before you hit the obvious includes at the endgame. This one might be a bit pricy though. And to round this out, "Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution" (Switch/Steam) is the most recent one, and therefor, has the most cards, but even with a card-adding patch a while back, it is still outdated now. This one is still on store shelves though.

In my opinion, Pendulum is unfairly hated by the community and probably Konami at some extend (or they're just lazy at dealing with them, as with other stuff), just because of stuff that could be fixed, instead of just complaining like crying babies. Also people really like to complain about stuff like too much text, but when you really read it, it really isn't that much text once you look at it, also they complain about modern cards having walls of text, when in old school Yu-Gi-Oh! you could see stuff like the redundancy of Ritual Monsters, telling the player the levels needed to Ritual Summon, when those requirements were also in their respective Ritual Spells (look for the oldest prints of Relinquished and you'll see), and the unneeded text for Polymerization and Monster Reborn, that was really too much text, not anything printed at today's age. Pd: Congratulations on your wedding, I hope you and your wife get a lovely and healthy relationship.

Well, Master Rule 4 was because Konami wanted you to buy more cards so they invalidated all your old cards unless you bought the new ones. It’s the same reason there’s a new identical iPhone every year. They want you to buy stuff while you’re old stuff still works, so they make the old stuff stop working.

For me, I lost my job shortly after nats 2013 and while I got a new job less than a month later, I had to adapt to a new commute and schedule that prevented me from playing the game for at least a few months. When looking at what new cards had come out in the months I was away, Pendulums were announced in Japan, and with it came the restructuring of the field of play. Having played the game from Metal Raiders all the way to that point, considering myself "pretty much done" after qualifying for nats in 2011 with that tournament taking place in my backyard and knowing that I'd be proposing to my own girlfriend a month later, and "accidentally" qualifying for 2013 nats at the end of 2012 because I went to a regional with a longtime friend right before they moved away... I was done. Too much change for someone that really didn't have as much time, money, or interest in keeping up. Pendulums weren't the only reason, but they were definitely the nail in the coffin.

So I came back to the game in late 2015 after a 10 year hiatus and had to learn Synchro, Xyz and Pendulum Summoning all at once in combination with the new master rules and new deck building style as I was still used to Goat style deck building. My experience with the mechanic is that at first sight the cards are indeed overwhelmingly confusing to look at, so to their visual card design definitely could have been better. When I actually sat down and read the mechanic and looked up some tutorials (Hardleg has some great tutorial videos), it all came down to simple memorization like any other rule and simply putting in the effort to learn them. Once I actually learned them and started playing them, the mechanic is actually very easy to play. The only hurdle I had to overcome was how to properly deck build with pendulum monsters because you are still dealing with cards that have a buttload of text and comprehending the synergy between their effects and recognizing which ones are good and which are not isn't easy if you don't fully understand the mechanic, but even that is something that didn't take me too much time to learn. In the end my take is that if you are an experienced player and you really like the game you will put in the effort to learn the new rules and new mechanics instead of complaining about everything new that comes up. By this point you should know by now that new things will be added to the game and that the way the game is being played keeps on changing over time and complaining about it is wasted time. If you really don't like the direction the game has taken then maybe you should start contemplating if you really do still like this game and if you shouldn't be looking for a different game that you actually do like instead of continuously complaining about a game that you don't like anymore.

So basically in short. Your giving the creators a pass at just making a game that was already fun into a game that is overly complicated and just makes everything into a cookie cutter deck? Sounds about right? We all have a right to complain unless it doesn't harm the gaming experience. Pendulums I didn't care for in the beginning. But they're okay. This whole link summoning stuff now? It's just stupid. What's next? Are they going to add even more stupid mechanics? Like Pokemon did with dynamax? All I'm saying is at a certain point you just need to stop adding stuff before you ruin something that a lot of people enjoy. Constructive criticism of this game is not a bad thing. This game is getting really out of hand with all the new mechanics. That's all I'm saying...

@@spades77 Wrong conclusion. What I said is that new mechanics aren't as big of a barrier as people think they are if someone is really interested in a game. All it takes is some time and patience to memorize how a mechanic works. I never said anything about giving Konami a free pass bloating the game with new mechanics, and considering they didn't add a mechanic with the master rule 5 update, they have realised it as well it isn't in the best interests of this game to keep adding mechanics. The cookie cutter deck is something I will give them a pass for because without set rotation it is a way to prevent cards from breaking the game so we don't end up with another accidental tier 0 deck like PePe

When I came back, I understood how Synchro and XYZ Summoning worked. Pendulum summoning makes no sense to some who grew up with the card game after taking a hiatus from it. To make it more confusing, Pendulum cards had a new spot on the playing field for them. Then, when you look at the cards themselves, they are a mixture visually between normal monster and spell cards.

As someone who only learned of Pendulums last year, after being out of collecting and playing for a good decade, I was intrigued by them. I find them a fairly nifty mechanic, and definitely can facilitate all sorts of extra deck plays. My main complaints are that it took me forever to figure out how they properly work, and that it’s very hard to remember all the details of their effects due to how long the texts can be. They can definitely be confusing and frustrating, but then again I know people who thought the same of Synchros and Links. Also, congrats on the wedding.

Pendulums were part of the reason why I quit Yugioh, or at least it reaffirmed my decision to not play it. They were weird, they were intimidating to learn, confusing, too much text, I was mad that they introduced a new type of card instead of improving old cards that needed buffs (like rituals), etc. But recently, I've gotten back into Yugioh, and I decided to force myself how to learn Pendulums, and they're actually fun to use, and powerful. But all of my previous complaints are still valid, it really doesn't matter how great they are, Konami should have understood how they were power creeping the game, and changed things to compensate. They should have split the game into two new formats. Advanced style and Classic style. The latter would have banned all these new cards, no syncros, xyz, pendulums, link monsters, etc. Maybe make some small changes to the rules as well. I still think Ritual Monsters should have been re-worked so that they are in the extra deck from now on, and all you need to summon them is the ritual spell and tributes. Something like that.

They really aren't that hard. They're basically continuous spells that allow you to special summon. As long as you have two pendulum scales and one has a lower scale than the other you can special summon whatever monster from your hand or extra deck that is pendulum. However, Extra Deck pendulums are a bit more difficult because after the summon, no other pendulum can be summoned from the Extra Deck that turn.

@@cthree0 there's another advantage pendulum doesn't have, monsters going into the extra instead of gy is not that good because even before MR4 you can only pendulum summon opt, but monsters in gy are only limited by their own restrictions and the cards you can play in your deck. All modern combo decks that use the gy do the equivalent to 2-3 pendulum summons per turn, and since games are decided on the first couple of turns mostly that advantages those other decks way more. And of course pendulum summoning makes you summon everything in 1 move so summon negation or torrential can be very devastating. And there's another thing, most pendulum monsters don't have ss effects from the hand, or when they do there are in most cases heavy restrictions, so getting them back from the extra to your hand doesn't necessarily help you extend, outside your pendulum summon of course.
