[sp]Are tournament rules for Yu-Gi-Oh really that strict? I've only ever played it with friends using all the cards[/sp]

From what I understand basically every old card is banned or useless, or has cards that directly counter them. There's even a card/deck that cancels out Exodia, which used to be an Instant-Win set of cards.[/sp]
IMO, Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged is one of the best abridged series out there. Definetely recommending for someone to watch it, its so good.
[QUOTE=Zender Troop;51737811]IMO, Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged is one of the best abridged series out there. Definetely recommending for someone to watch it, its so good.[/QUOTE] It is also the OG abridged series, it inspired a lot of the older abridged series, including TFS
[QUOTE=Durrsly;51737724][sp]Are tournament rules for Yu-Gi-Oh really that strict? I've only ever played it with friends using all the cards[/sp][/QUOTE] Theres a pretty big ban list, a lot of older cards are actually on it for how unaware they are of downsides. (Pot of Greed lets you draw 2 cards with no real downside to speak of, essentially meaning it should be run in every single deck no matter the archtype) But mostly they get banned as gateways to too many One turn kills.
Is that card that allows you to draw 2 cards whenever you draw a normal monster banned? In legacy of the Duellist, the mission where you play as Yugi Vs Kaiba with Exodia, I had 3 of those on the field, and at one point I had 26 cards in my hand.

Basically, it allows one to draw cards infinately until you draw a Magic/Trap card, I think. What happened was it made me draw until all parts of Exodia were in my hand.

You know how hearthstone has a "standard" mode where you can only use the classic cards and the card released of the last year? I think MTG has something similar as well. Yugioh doesn't have a "standard" mode in that sense but they cycle out old cards by power creeping and banning the OP ones.

Probably becuase it means you're running vanilla monsters. If you were to run a deck of nothing but vanilla monsters and it, you'd probably brick. Theres also a lot better draw engines than it.
[QUOTE=Durrsly;51737724][sp]Are tournament rules for Yu-Gi-Oh really that strict? I've only ever played it with friends using all the cards[/sp][/QUOTE] A lot of cards just either got way too powerful as new things were released or were poorly balanced in the first place. If you removed some cards, tournaments would just consist of everyone playing the same deck with minimal differences. If you put every card at 3, every duel would be literally decided by who goes first as people play hyper-consistent first-turn-kill decks. The current list has about 150 cards, with 78 being completely forbidden and the rest restricting you to only one or two copies. Also God-cards are legal, but you need the versions that have actual effects printed on them instead of the fancy cryptic ones Yugi had.

Slifer relies on you not playing many cards or running a shitload of cards to support him with, like infinite cards which removes the card limit in your hand. Ra has the potential to be devastating but IIRC he literally burns your life points just for using him. I used to play this all the time in high school but I retired because I got tired of the same old bullshit with Konami EVERY ban cycle. Find a cool/useful deck, waste money attempting to build it, finally finish it....new ban list comes out that completely breaks said deck and makes it worthless. I'm still glad I managed to place in quarter finals in a local tournament with what amounted to a $30 deck when other people there were running $300+ decks.
