I guess I don't really know enough about Yugioh because I have no idea what was going on there

Yu-gi-oh! Is a game where card advantage is everything, a free Plus 2 card like Pot of Greed could mean the difference between winning and losing a match, it's an amazing top deck card too, this card will never ever return to the game legally because such an advantage was broken, especially in the modern game where your graveyard is your second deck and damn near anything searches anything, just the mere thought of Pot of Greed returning in full even at 1 would cause it's prices to jump into the quadruple digits it's THAT powerful of a card, another card like it, Graceful Charity could be argued to be even stronger than that as it lets you draw Three cards and discard 2, again in the current era where your graveyard is your second deck that discard 2 clause is not a cost, it's another way to gain an advantage and like Pot of Greed there are cards that can search Graceful Charity out from the deck, too.

Even with all I just said is nowhere near enough to truly understand how utterly broken those two cards are. They will NEVER return EVER!

1. Free extra card without any drawbacks
2. Excellent filler card so you can draw the cards that you want faster.

instead they play Rush Duel a much more simpler format

should I play that if i want to play yugioh without getting crushed by people who know what they're doing.

You'll still get crushed but you'll have more of a fighting chance in rush duel format than master duel format as that's the nature of ygo.

So they had to really temper cards that draw cards in order to make them not so op? Meta games are really interesting to me, even if the card game itself is kinda over my head

Just found out there's a card called jar of greed that draws 1 card. Is it op too?

based

A bit. Most have some kind of cost or restriction, but depending on the type of deck you're running those costs could be to your benefit.

That's impossible because no one knows what it actually does

What about that card called Gravekeeper's Servant? It is still allowed.

If I recall correctly, it makes it so that the opponent has to discard the top card of their deck before each monster attack.

I used it in a GBA game to force opponents to lose the match by running out their deck. I used it alongside cards like The Bistro Butcher (which had a flip effect that forced your opponent to draw 2 cards).
