The game starts you off with the worst LOB deck possible and makes you work for every card you win (one at a time). Since early ygo is all about 4 star cards with good atk power you’re totally outclassed by the ai that has a bunch of beatsticks on hand AS WELL AS powerful tributes like summon skull.
And the absolute insult to injury is now TWO TIMES the ai has completed exodia, giving a big ol’ fuck you to me when I had the ai down to like 1k life points.
Konami fix your cheating ass games, these are supposed to be for babies, not masochists.
I was thinking “that doesn’t sound like goat format to me” then you mentioned Summoned Skull then it hit me that you’re probably in a format predating Jinzo, the Monarchs, Chaos Sorc, and BLS.
