From what little I’ve read of yugioh, this would just outright win
From what I understand Yugioh suffers from an extreme lack of keywording, meaning every mechanic used is explained on every card which uses it, because no keywords.
I’m not sure ‘That’s A Lot If Words’ could win a game of Magic, but it could certainly win a Yugioh comp.
There’s that, and Yugioh’s answer to power creep is “Just keep printing stronger cards and never stop”. Stronger cards do more things and therefore need more text.

This is the point at which we are at with magic too.
Magic reached that point more than 10 years ago…
May have, but we are still there.
Funny enough, Magic has a keyword for exactly this called Wordy.
Amazing:
The typo remaining in the creature type is a nice touch.
Of course it’s in the Un-sets
Affect.
I think it’s actually correct in this usage because “effect” is a keyword in the game, so using “effect” triggers specific rules.
Plus Duke has a secret ability that if someone tries to argue the sentence isn’t grammatical you get to give them a swirlie.
Pretty sure they’re right. If something has no effect on you, it doesn’t affect you.
I can’t do a comprehensive search right now, but I’ve so far been unable to find the word “effect” on card text.
It’s not. Source: I gave the best years of my life to this game.
That’s a noun. It’s used as a verb in this card description, which is wrong.
Effect can be a verb also, but then the meaning is like “cause.”
“The president’s policies effected change.”
It’s technically accurate that cards with lots of text aren’t going to effect me, I think.
Unless the cards with lots of text are actually your parents.
Irregardless, I don’t think theirs really a difference between the too in this case.
No, that’s definitely not how it works. It would never be worded this way to begin with, but this “effect” is just a homonym of the word you’re referring to.
I don’t make the rules fam
Fun fact: There was a MTG keyword ability called “wordy” in one of the Un-sets. A card has “wordy” if its rules text exceeds some amount. This card should read:
You have protection from wordy.
Which feels like poetry in its own right.
Basically:
Oh so that’s what happened to Duke Nukem.
I assumed cancer would’ve got him by now
I print spells in landscape. Only two lines.
As a lifelong Magic player, I’ve reached a point where I’ve accepted that my strengths are more in drafting, deckbuilding, and card evaluation, not in reading complicated board states. I play more aggressively now and do better because of it. My new motto is “math is for blockers”.
Counter spell: terrible headache from overthinking.
Headaches cause discard, which helps with the overthinking because you have less options now.
Have you even watched Spice8Rack’s multi-hour masterpiece of a video essay on mill vs discard?Nah. I commented just for fun.
