a real yugioh deck focuses on cards like Dark magician, Blue-eyes, Elemental heroes, Destiny heroes, Stardust Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend, Galaxy-eyes, Utopia, Odd-eyes, D/D/D etc.

Because people play to win?

Last I knew, every official card that Konami has made is considered "real yugioh".

Every yugioh deck is "real" as long as it follows the banlist and whatnot.

Doesn't matter, those cards are still legal in the TCG/OCG. The anime has no bearing on the physical card games in terms of what can be played and what can't be. Only cards printed in the TCG/OCG can be.

Ah yes let’s all play anime decks because they are from the anime, when the anime is a representation of what the game looks like. Like here’s a question why should we play these decks because it’s from the anime?

obviously the best cards are shown in the anime. If konami wanted the cards to be known they would have the cards shown in the anime.

Isn't the slogan of the US the land of the free? Everyone can play whatever they want. I built F.A. because I liked the gimmick, probably you play those decks because you like the anime, and probably other people play meta because they like to win.
And no, obviously not all the cards shown in the anime are the best, if that was the case, there wouldn't be anime-exclusive decks, like drones, those drawings that kid in arc-v used, etc.

Blackwings were essentially the first good deck shown in the anime, to the point of becoming meta, so anime cards being good as a whole took quite a while. In a more selective regard, if you exclude the time before and somewhat after the first banlist, where essentially we only had beatdown strategies (and Yata-lock), good decks usually avoided using character's main cards until further support was released, aside from Jinzo and, to some extent, Blue-Eyes White Dragon (Exodia decks).

Also, since you began this topic stating that real decks should focus on (main characters') anime debuted archetypes, I ask you: How would it feel getting just a couple of new decks options every 3-4 years?

So Salamangreat is the OBJECTIVELY BEST ARCHTYPE EVER?

As a side note: seeing good and relevant cards in the anime usually has more impact than seeing regular anime cards getting printed, since most people see the latter as fanservice.

SALAMANGREAT BEST DECK, Jokes aside ah yes the best cards are shown lemme go play my meklords before their new support or hell the nordics or better the quiz archetype or glacial beasts yup best cards are shown in the anime alright.

Based on this vague definition, Rush Duels are real yugioh!

You aren't yusei fudo so why would you be playing his deck? If you are confusing reality with anime then remember, in"the anime" you would just be a nobody cheering in the stands. So if you want reality to reflect a cartoon go to your locals and shout cringey one liners as other people play. "You can do it! Believe in your deck!" Or perhaps try summoning an earthbound immortal and absorbing the souls of everyone in your vicinity and just taking all the prize packs.

I agree sorta, a deck that has a consistent boss monster is great and decks with a lot of versatility like heroes are also great. What I dislike are decks that are like I'll put up 5 negates turn 1 if you don't have hand traps, goodluck!!

My answer to those are just anti-meta and playing hand traps.....
