You made the claim your duels are interactive, but you'll literally spend 30 turns doing NOTHING and not letting your opponent do anything (Provided you didn't rage at them at the start of the duel cause heaven forbid they used a card you didn't like). That isn't interactive, that is straight up stalling for no reason. Yugioh in today's game hell even in Master Rule 2 was a lot more interactive than your duels.
YOU CLEARLY CANT READ, SO LET ME REPEAT THIS ONE LAST TIME FOR YOU! MY WATER DECK AND SIX SAMS DO NOT TAKE ANYTIHNG MORE THAN 2 TURNS AT MOST TO START DOING SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE!!!

Since we're going in this stalemate back and forth, I'll try to illustrate what Renji means (or at least what I think he does, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong):
Take this duel for an instance:

In that duel, you had the upper hand from turn 1, since your opponent never really managed to outmatch Mirror Force Dragon. Still, you never even attacked with it. You never attacked in a whole duel of 38 turns. Despite the opponent playing an Exodia Deck, they were still trying to make a stand with the unusual cards for such deck.
It's not about which deck you have that can do serious damage earlier, it's about how you end up playing and possibly forcing your opponent to abide as well: To achieve some convoluted ace monster or board setup, even though the interaction could have started several turns earlier. Not to mention that if they used a single effect on your cards you would most likely ragequit, despite THAT being interaction.
