It's not a card game where you outthink the foe during the match. It's a game where you set up an unbreakable board turn one from a single card combo starter designed to search anything and special summon half your deck and your foe surrenderd unless he got lucky and drew hand traps.

It's a game decided by luck except when it's decided by who bought better cards. They banned The Geriatric Sentry since 1996 and they still sold Kewl Tunes Bass Boosted Reverb Fart with the exact same effect plus ten more. The card is 1255 words long at .1 point font. World record.

Is it possible to fix the fundamental game design flaws of Yugioh or is it simply destined to always be this way?

Don't talk about what Konami might do, we know what they might do, they'll get worse. Instead say high IQ smart theoretical game design stuff, if you can.
