Today on Draw 5 Move 5, we're taking the time to have a conversation on card text and, specifically, keywords in trading card game design. While most modern TCGs like Magic the Gathering use keywords, Yu-Gi-Oh is a strange exception. The game is immensely complicated, and in some places, overly bloated, and considering their use in comparable TCGs, I think keywords could reduce some of Yu-Gi-Oh's barriers to entry, so long as we can find a good way to implement them. And so, we ask the question: can Yu-Gi-Oh use keywords like Magic the Gathering? Let's talk about it today on Draw 5 Move 5! Thanks for watching! I'd love to hear your thoughts, so let's keep this discussion rolling down in the comments.
