Chapter 425 Starting with Five Exodia? (seeking subscription)

Well known.

The duel rules of "Yu-Gi-Oh" were not perfect at birth.

Instead, with the continuous introduction of new content and new cards in comics and animations, a set of rule systems was gradually formed.

To put it more bluntly...

The duel rule system that was admired by thousands of fans in the previous life was actually just a game of simply comparing numbers at the beginning.

In Kazuki Takahashi's "Yu-Gi-Oh" manga, it was Pegasus J. Cloverdo who first came up with the "Duel Monsters" game after he visited Egypt.

At first there were only normal monster cards.

The first magic card to appear is the normal magic card [Enlarge]!
With the magic card, "Yu-Gi-Oh" got rid of the simple "numerical size" comparison, and has a certain content of intellectual confrontation.

Of course, this is not perfect!
Relying on magic cards alone, the content of this card game is still a bit thin, and it probably won't take long for it to get boring.

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

From ordinary magic cards to trap cards, to equipment cards... So far, the auxiliary card system of "Yu-Gi-Oh" has almost taken shape.

But what about monster cards?

Dueling monsters, as the name suggests, monsters are the absolute protagonists, and they are also the key cards of dueling games.

If the outcome of a duel depends entirely on the "auxiliary cards" such as magic cards, trap cards, and equipment cards, wouldn't the monster cards seem rather useless?
Based on this premise.

In the subsequent manga content, the original Kazuki Takahashi proposed two brand new monster concepts of [Fusion Monster] and [Ritual Monster].

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

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

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

After that, Yu-Gi-Oh's rule system became more and more perfect, and even extended new ways of playing within the old rule system.

I won't talk about coherence excess.

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

And Wanbao version...

After reading the first volume of comics created by Nan Tong, Gu Miao actually has a certain understanding of the content of the rule system he created.

Two players prepare 40 cards each.

The initial life value is 2000 points.

It is still a summoned monster. According to the difference between the monster's attack power and defense power, it will be deducted from the life value, and the person whose life value becomes 0 will lose.

It's still the same as the original version, but it's slightly better than the original version. The Wanbao version has produced auxiliary cards such as magic cards, trap cards, and equipment cards early on.

Not only that.

Many variant cards, including "Counter Trap Card", "Field Magic Card" and "Continuous Magic Card", also appeared in advance.

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

But both Gu Miao and Nantong felt that there was still room for further improvement and supplementation of this set of rules.

"The life value is too low."

Thinking of the subsequent changes, Gu Miao couldn't help complaining: "The attack power of the blue-eyed white dragon has already exceeded the player's health. From this point of view, 2000 health is still not enough."

Indeed less.

Nantong nodded, and immediately asked: "Then add 1000 points, how about 3000 points?"

"not enough!"

"Go straight to 4000 points."

Gu Miao scratched her head and said thoughtfully: "In addition to this, add another rule: At the beginning of the game, each player needs to draw 5 cards in their hand, and the maximum number of cards in their hand cannot exceed 7."

"no problem."

Just as he was about to write 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 of the game, isn't it possible that it will appear..."

Dark Mage, Exodia!
As the early stage of "Yu-Gi-Oh", the most perverted monster card in the card group held by the protagonist.

If you draw five cards at the beginning of the game, if you can collect all the sealed left feet, right feet, left wrists, right wrists and the main body, wouldn't it be too abnormal?

"Hmm! This possibility cannot be ruled out..."

Gu Miao nodded and said.

As far as he knew, this situation was extremely rare, but 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 Bureau" had appeared in a "Game King" competition held under the neon line in his previous life.

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

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

What should I do then?

It's not that the cards are not shuffled or cut, but under the supervision of the opponent and the referee, he can still start with five Exodia...

This kind of person, let him win!

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

So Gu Miao didn't take Nan Tong's worries to heart.

As long as this kind of "magic draw" does not appear in the animation and comic plots, it will be fine.As for the reality, if someone is willing to use Yangshou to draw cards, then Gu Miao doesn't care and doesn't want to care about it.

"OK! OK!"

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

For an event with an extremely low probability of occurrence, it is really unnecessary to supplement and modify the duel rules.It's better to keep it as an entertainment easter egg.

"Oh yes..."

Speaking of Exodia, Gu Miao suddenly thought of the legendary pharaoh hiding in the game body, that is, the dark game.

About dark games.

In fact, in comics and animations, there is also a set of rules and settings for "Dark Duel".

Almost forgot about this thing!
The dark duel, the image point is "the duel of life and death".Losers will be forcibly deprived of their souls. In early film and television works, it is roughly similar to the plot of "signing life and death to fight in the ring".

to be frank……

Dark duel, at first glance, it looks quite exciting.But the more I see it, the more I feel.

I feel that duel in the dark is still lacking something.

Because apart from the "loss penalty", there is actually no special design and rule system in the duel process, just like an ordinary duel.

this is not good.

Gu Miao believes that since the word "darkness" is included in the dark duel, it must highlight the difference.

After being attacked, the life value will be deducted, and he will spit out two mouthfuls of blood and look sluggish, these are all old ways.

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