It got to stay on the Field (being a Field Magic card) until you were ready to perform a Fusion. (More quickly as the game continued to progress) with the first notable ‘improvement’ being Fusion Gate.įusion Gate changed the Fusion mechanic. Secondly, Polymerization was practically the only way to do this, but this did improve, slowly over time. Many were without effect, and the attack gain you’d get from the Fusion didn’t warrant giving up three (or more) cards to bring one out. Fusion plagued the early Yugioh for a few reasons.įirst, there weren’t hardly any Fusion Monsters that were worth playing. These were Special Summons, which weren’t particularly easy to stop at the time, as opposed to today. Combining two or more Monsters to become another, albeit at the time, being forced to use Polymerization, to bring out a stronger Monster. Specifically, the theme of Fusion, although this will spread into other territory as well.įusion is quite a concept in Yugioh, especially in the original and early days of the game. As the title suggests, I’m going to touch on and tackle a theme of evolution in Yugioh. Our story begins in Frostbite Falls, Minnesota, where our heroes, Rocky and Bullwinkle…I’m sorry, that’s a totally different story.
