Trap Card: Enchantment that you play face down, then flip over when you want to use it.
Fusion: Play Delrache, but only sacrifice two creatures.
morph is basically hiding your creature when you play it, kinda like Illusionary Mask.
Unlimited cards in a deck? I've got a 1,000 card mono-black reanimator in a shoebox. If it was any bigger, I couldn't shuffle it. Hell, I can't really shuffle it right now!
No Casting Cost? I don't remember... to be perfectly honest. I think that's right, except you somtimes have to "fuse" creatures into play.
Tons of creature combat? As long as you want to fight one-on-one creatures, yes. Poke'game, anyone?
Yugi was BASED UPON Magic's popularity in Japan, as a complete bugger off of the game, then the cards were made to go with the series.
Poke'game gets big, jerks look to Japan and don't know snot about Magic(just like WOTC's current COO). They see money. and that's about it.
Stick to Magic. It's booster boxes arn't $140 even at discount rates. Hasn't been like that since before Fallen Empries, as a matter of fact.
