A Battle of Wits deck is different than what the Yu-Gi-Oh deck was trying to do.
Battle of Wits, while goofy, is a legitimate win condition and the player is trying to win the game by playing a card.
In contrast, the gigantic Yu-Gi-Oh deck isn’t trying to win, but force a draw by taking up the round’s time by constantly shuffling the deck. It would be like a Magic deck built around playing Shahrazad until an opponent quit or time was called. You aren’t playing to win, but draw.
Interesting. Hilarious. And annoying. Thanks for the info, that analogy helped a lot. I don’t think TCG players will ever cease to amaze me with some of the shit they pull, I love it.
