I love Yugioh so much but everytime I try to teach a friend about the game it just ends up like this. So sad.

Back in the day decks had a 40 card minimum and no max copies of cards. There were decks that were just mountains and lightning bolts. So getting a combo like this out wasn’t completely unheard of.

Nowadays, combos need lots of drawing and fishing to hit in the first couple turns.

Confirm, and I am guilty of having owned, and currently owning, functional decks that basically just boil down to mountains and lightning bolts. The "new" (decades old) rules forced me to diversify a bit, but Fallen Empires brought us the gift of the Goblin Grenade, so it's all gravy for me. Four goblins and four Goblin Grenades is a win, even if you don't attack with any of the goblins. You can spice things up in the interim with Lightning Bolts if you like.
