Best first turn I've ever seen

Alright, I won't normally do this unless it falls into, what I call the "rare" or "extraordinary" category. What I'm about to show you falls into that category and it's too good to not share.

This has to be the best opening I've ever seen, possibly that anyone has ever seen outside the meta game.

Dual Dragon Master Knight, with a First of the Dragons in toe. I did go first, but even if I went second it would not have made a difference, unless I drew into Dragon Capture Jar and even then it would've made very little difference. And who runs DCJ anyway unless they know they are playing against Dragons? There was nothing I could really do to stop them.

That is the dream opening hand if you're running fusions and that's why I love playing Yugioh. These crazy, rare openings is what I feel the game is about. Not the Meta game. If you want to run Nekroz or Burning Abyss, that's fine, but I just think that, as a general rule, there's skill and then there's Meta. Then there's anit-Meta if we assume if it exists. Yes, some Meta decks can require skill. Dragon Rulers when they were Meta required skill. It wasn't a deck like Nekroz that just anyone could turn up at a tournament and win, it actually required a deep understanding of the rules of the game and the combos the deck could pull off. If you weren't a skilled player, you couldn't make the Dragon Ruler deck work for you and you would lose the duel simply because you didn't understand how to play it.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share that with you guys because it was a rarity. Just goes to show that you don't need to be a Meta player to be a good player. I doubt much of the Meta could've handled that.
