Yu-gi-oh cards. Playing all 5 parts of Exodia results in an immediate win. Things were simpler back then.

You don't have to play them, all five have to be in your hand to trigger the win condition. You just reveal them once you have them all (and there's no current "chain" of plays in effect)

wow that doesn't sound completely fucked at all

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It sounds more powerful than it actually was. Hand limit was 7, so you'd be sacrificing up to more than half your hand size for a small chance at an instant win. That plus a lack of consistent draw in Yu-Gi-Oh, it was basically a crap shoot. If you ran an Exodia condition deck, you'd maybe win 1/3 times.

But the memes are immaculate

no consistent draw? What did pot of greed do?

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Pot of greed draws 2. You can also only have 2 in a deck. It's also banned in competitive play.

You draw two cards when you play it. No drawbacks or additional effects.

It's all also, like, one of a handful of cards that actually let you draw.

Gracias amigo!

I know that dude. It was actually used in one of the few Yu-Gi-Oh episodes I watched.

Not much, what's Exodia with you?

Yugi when the opponent is doing a little too well

Has this guy's website been down for a really long time? I've checked it periodically for a couple of years now. Before it was just no updates, now it just gives an error.

Yeah his website doesn’t seem like a good place to get updates, Tapas tends to stay up to date and has his bonus panels, though:
