I've been playing Stairway to the Destined Duel recently after playing my fair share of EDS and man. I dropped it the first time I tried to play it because it felt like only EDS 2... but it's only EDS 2, and that's based. EDS was so good looking back and so soulful. Stairway is basically the expansion pack version with more cards. There's just something about the sprite work in these games and the music (shared between them), a simplicity and being just grinding but they actually found a way to balance it. You can only choose from a few duelists at a time which forces you to keep your deck prepared for everything and stops you from just pounding Tea's ass over and over like in 7 Trials to Glory, there's the soulful weekday system, the fact that all the packs are based on real world packs, it's all pretty cool. Plus it's always fun to be able to use those obscure but useful OCG cards like Monster Eye (one of my favorite DDS monsters) or fucking CRUSH CARD. The EDS and Stairway to the Destined Duel duology are like a warm blanket of 2003 Kids WB nostalgic memories. Too bad I never had them as a kid.
