I do agree with his last point that speeding up Yugioh shouldn't be a time rule change, but a more fundamental change in card design and general rules.
It IS retarded how many little finicky rules exist in this game, and how singular words or characters suddenly impact the game in a huge way, and how singular cards just do a billion things simultaneously.
I do think Yugioh needs a reboot. Not something as drastic as Rush, but just a general cleanup of the game. There's no real reason to have so many different variations of the same concepts, each with their individual interactions and rulings.
Like there is truly no actual reason to have cards like Diabellstar or Ext Ryzeal that Special Summon themselves as a non-activated effect, all with their own super-special HOPT clause. Just have them use activated effects to summon themselves. This one thing takes a good chunk of space out of both TCG and OCG text.
Cards should just be inherently HOPT, its the default state for basically everything. If it is non-OPT, soft OPT or some weird either-or, then you can reflect that in text. But the default is assumed to be HOPT.
In relation to the above, abolish "You can only activate "Card Name" once per turn" and just have them all be the "use" variant.
Stop doing stupid shit like declaring a concept then listing the choices, only for other cards to also declare the same concept with different choices. Example of such being Dimensional Barrier's "monster card type" list having different choices to Firewall Dragon Singularity's "monster card type" list, which is different to Simul Archfiend's "monster card type" list. At that point just say "Declare 1 of the following" and be done with it.
