No competitive balance if you're someone who's trying this game out for Nostalgia sake cuz I haven't kept up with the game since your original Yu-Gi-Oh series there are so many new rules that can allow you to pull out a 10 star 3500 hack monster are the opening term if you were someone experienced with Yu-Gi-Oh then this game is for you but if you're trying to come back just for Nostalgia sake run at all cost
