Does Farfa Think Handtraps are Bad for Yu-Gi-Oh!? Full Reaction and Discussion

In today’s video, I react to Farfa’s take on handtraps in modern Yu-Gi-Oh! — are they actually hurting the game, or are they the only thing keeping combo decks honest? I pause throughout to break down the logic behind each point, add context from my own experiences, and talk about the role handtraps play in format design: deckbuilding pressure, non-games, skill expression, and what “interaction” even means in 2025 Yu-Gi-Oh! By the end, I give my verdict: what I agree with, what I think is missing from the conversation, and what the handtrap ecosystem should look like going forward. We actually end up agreeing on much more than I thought we would! Drop your stance in the comments: are handtraps necessary evil, good design, or a symptom of deeper problems?
