A Comprehensive History of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG - 2010: X-Rated

Published 2021-11-23
The 5Ds Era was now in full swing as 2010 would come to be the year where the Synchro mechanic got to take centre stage. After several years of continuous power creep the game was finally at a point where it had been slowed down just enough to hit a sweet spot which has rarely been seen before or since.

Reccommended for people with a basic knowledge or understanding of the game.

Post Episode Notes:
This was supposed to be a streamlined shorter episode but still ended up being 30 minutes long. Funny how that works.

The slides I use for the visuals I originally created ahead of time but they have now ran out so I'm making them as I make the video, increasing the short-term workload.

Expect the next part during the holidays but after that I won't be able to promise a regular upload schedule anymore.
