Why Playing 40 Cards Is Wrong

Been watching some Yu-Gi-Oh! video essays recently and was inspired by MBT's recent video "MURDER YOUR DARLINGS." to make my first video essay on this topic as I've been thinking about it for a long time (also shoutout the top comment on that vid mentioning this). First time using adobe premiere so hopefully the video isn't too bad other than the audio balancing which I know is rip. Obligatory there's a lot of nuance to this topic so there's no way I could've gone over everything in this video so if I missed something that's probably why.

Pak talks about how the ratios of engine and non-engine you play is important. Probably should've talked about that concept in the vid but didn't really have a place for it.
