I joked then you could chop all the numbers in half and remove a 0 and have the same game... but it is based on an anime/manga, and again those writers knew a 3,000 attack blue eyes white dragon and a 2,500 attack dark magician   FEELS more powerful then 150 attack blue eyes white dragon and a 125 attack dark magician, but if you had 400 life points to start instead of 8,000 it would be VERY similar even if not the same.Magic uses monsters (unless there has been serious power creep since my craw worm days) that are 1/1 - 6/6 for attack and defense and you have 20 life points... Yugioh isn't better for having bigger numbers (but it isn't worse either).</blockquote>
