Chapter 425: Five Exodia in the Starting Hand? (Please Subscribe)

As everyone knows.

The dueling rules of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" were not perfect when they were first born.

But with the continuous introduction of new content in comics, animations and new cards, a system of rules was gradually formed.

To put it more bluntly...

The duel rule system that was praised by thousands of fans in the previous life was actually just a game of comparing numerical values ​​at the beginning.

In the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" manga created by Takahashi Kazuki, it was after Pegasus J. Croftor visited Egypt that he came up with the "Duel Monsters" game.

There are only normal monster cards at the beginning.

The first magic card to appear is the normal magic card [Gigantic]!

With the introduction of magic cards, "Yu-Gi-Oh!" got rid of the simple "numerical size" comparison and had a certain amount of intellectual confrontation content.

Of course, this is not perfect!

Relying on magic cards alone, the content of this card game is still a bit thin, and I will probably get bored of it soon.

Therefore, in the subsequent development, two new card types, [Trap Card] and [Equipment Card], were added, which greatly improved the playability.

From ordinary magic cards to trap cards, to equipment cards... At this point, the auxiliary card system of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" has almost taken shape.

But what about monster cards?

Duel Monsters, as the name suggests, monsters are the absolute protagonists and the key cards in Duel games.

If the outcome of a duel all depends on "auxiliary cards" such as magic cards, trap cards, and equipment cards, wouldn't monster cards seem useless?

Based on this premise.

In the subsequent comic content, the original author Kazuki Takahashi proposed two new monster concepts: "Fusion Monster" and "Ritual Monster".

And in the subsequent plot, three patron saint cards of the Pharaoh appeared [Obelisk's Titan Soldier], [Osiris's Sky Dragon] and [Sun God's Winged Dragon].

Considering the popularity of the "Three Fantasy Gods" and their role in advancing the plot of the subsequent "Yu-Gi-Oh!", these three cards should be regarded as the origin of "Effect Monster Cards".

It was also after this that more and more "effect monster cards" appeared on the stage, and together with magic cards and trap cards, they formed the oldest rule system of "Yu-Gi-Oh!"

After that, the Yu-Gi-Oh rule system became more and more perfect, and even new gameplay methods were extended within the old rule system.

Let’s not talk about homology excess.

Anyway, the fact before us is that the rule system of the original "Yu-Gi-Oh!" was not perfect until the end of the Duel Kingdom chapter.

And the Wanbao version...

After reading the first volume of the comic created by Nantong, Gu Miao actually had a certain understanding of the content of the rule system he created.

There are two players, each preparing 40 cards.

The initial health value is 2000 points.

It is still a summoned monster. The difference between the monster's attack power and defense power is deducted from the health points. The person whose health points reach 0 will lose.

It is still the same set as the original version, but what is slightly better than the original version is that the Wanbao version has been born early with auxiliary cards such as magic cards, trap cards and equipment cards.

Not only that.

Along with many variant cards including "Counter Trap Card", "Field Magic Card" and "Continuous Magic Card", they also appeared in advance.

At first glance, this seems much more exciting than the original.

But both Gu Miao and Nantong felt that there was room for further improvement and addition to this rule system.

"Too few health points."

Gu Miao thought about the subsequent changes and couldn't help complaining: "The attack power of the Blue Eyes White Dragon has exceeded the player's health. From this point of view, 2,000 health points are still not enough."

Indeed less.

Nantong nodded and immediately asked: "Then add 1,000 points, how about 3,000 points?"

"not enough!"

"Let's just mention 4,000 points."

Gu Miao scratched his head and said thoughtfully: "In addition, there is another rule: at the beginning of the game, players need to draw 5 cards from each hand, and the maximum number of cards in the hand cannot exceed 7."

"no problem."

Just as he was about to jot down this change, Nan Tong seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised his head and asked: "If you draw five cards at the beginning, isn't it possible that..."

The Dark Archmage, Exodia!

As the most perverted monster card in the deck held by the protagonist Yu-Gi-Oh! in the early stage of "Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Five cards are drawn at the beginning. Wouldn't it be too perverted if we could collect the sealed left foot, right foot, left wrist, right wrist and the main body?

"Well! I can't rule out this possibility..."

Gu Miao nodded.

As far as he knew, although this situation was extremely rare, it did happen.

In the early Yu-Gi-Oh duel rules, if you start with five "Exodia" seal cards, you will directly win the duel.

If he remembered correctly, this kind of "Yangshou game" had occurred in a "Yu-Gi-Oh!" game held offline in Neon in his previous life.

At that time, some netizens commented that the probability of 1/658008 was similar to winning the first prize in a lottery ticket.

It can only be said that you rely on skills to play cards, while others rely on magic to play cards.

What to do?

It's not like you don't shuffle or cut the cards. Under the full supervision of your opponent and the referee, you can still start with five cards of Exodia...

Let this kind of person win!

After all, this is only a small probability event. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for such a miracle to occur.

Therefore, Gu Miao didn't take Nantong's worries to heart.

As long as there are no such "magic draws" in the plots of animations and comics, it will be fine. As for the reality, if someone is willing to use Yang Shou to draw cards, Gu Miao can't care about it and doesn't want to care about it.

"OK! OK!"

After listening to Mr. Gu's explanation, Nantong also felt that it made sense.

For something that has a very low probability of happening, it is really unnecessary to amend the duel rules. Might as well keep it and treat it as an entertainment Easter egg.

"Oh yes..."

Speaking of Exodia, Gu Miao suddenly thought of the legendary Pharaoh hidden in Yu Yu, that is, Yami Yu.

About dark games.

In fact, in comics and animations, there is also a set of "dark duel" rules and settings.

I almost forgot about this!

Dark duel, in terms of image, is a "life and death duel". The loser will be forcibly deprived of his soul. In early film and television works, it is roughly similar to the scene of "signing life and death signs to fight in the ring".

to be honest……

The dark duel seems quite exciting at first glance. But after seeing it too much, it just feels like that.

I feel like Dark Duel is still lacking something.

Because apart from the "punishment for losing", there is actually no special design or rule system during the duel, it is just like an ordinary duel.

this is not good.

Gu Miao believes that since Dark Duel carries the word "dark", it must highlight its differences.

After being attacked, the health points are deducted, and the person vomits blood and looks depressed. This is the same old routine.

On this basis, the rules should be revised...
