Yu-gi-oh has a little bit of everything
for example. the yugioh monsters based on the biggest pieces of artillery

We also got a Skyrim deck coming soon which is not surprising with how much Japan loved that game.

Skyrim aged poorly
Probably the least poorly aged game out there with how people still go back to playing it over 10 years later, both with mods or even vanilla.

Honestly, not even sure Bethesda can replicate the same success even with Elder Scrolls 6 whenever that finally drops

Pendulums were pretty dumb: Hard to market over Extra Deck options already available, convoluted, Metalfoes being about the only successful Pendulum deck without breaking it open to try to sell it, Konami was mostly done with the theme by MR4 where it was hit the hardest with the nerds and hilariously, the only mechanic to keep those needs in 2020 when they revised Master Rule 4, proving it was mainly done to neuter them.

Thankfully, Links have been a huge improvement after Pendulums and a great addition to the game. Only issue is broken, generic Link 1 and 2s.

Yep link was better than pendulum. When I got back a few years ago, I could easily pick up link, but Pendulum is a complete non-sense. And I don't see the use of pendulum except for specific decks while Link could be use almost by any deck.

That’s the appeal behind Links (and Xyz before Links finally topped them) and the biggest reason Pendulums flopped. Them being in Extra Deck and available at any time.

Pendulum takes up your main decks space and hurts its consistency trying to put enough Pendulum monsters to use the mechanic. Konami experimented in the beginning with generic good Pendies before giving up and just making decks tied around Pendulums.

And yeah, it’s really convoluted. Half-Spell Half Monsters, going to your Extra Deci face up rather than grave when destroyed, the whole Pendulum scale shit. I’ll give Konami credit for trying something new, but the execution left a lot to be desired
