    Yeah, but you got way less support until modern Archfiends… So you were only useful as a beatstick, which was only useful in like the first few matches in the game. Duelist Kingdom and onwards you needed more than just a big beatstick

      Look, I was like 12 playing with other 12 year olds who also couldn’t afford cards. We weren’t thinking any of that. Hell we all probably shit ourselves the first time we saw a Blue Eyes in real life.

      To be fair, the reason Summon Skull was more competitive in early YGO is because at the time of the game’s release, Dark Magician didn’t yet have that support.

      Early YGO was basically a race to be the first to pull out summon skull and then protect him with magic/trap.
