Yugioh is a solitare where you can put everything you want if you get the right cards, yes, but to my understanding

  • cards above level 4 need to be Tribute Summoned (sacrificed other monsters to play them)
  • general Special Summoning usually requires something else to be on board already, and/or a certain kind of trigger (which means requiring something else being on board)

Otherwise your selection of cards that you can just pull out of your deck nilly-willy is kinda limited

I've seen turn 2 wins which doesn't seem fun to me, but it may have just been a perfect starting hand.

Oh, there are videos on YouTube of Master Duel (latest digital Yugioh version), where people go through their entire deck with various card draw spells to assemble Exodia (which is instant win if you have all five pieces of it in your hand), which takes about 10 minutes, but somewhat reliable on any starting hand, on their first turn

Exodia is the least of your worries, modern Yugioh is mostly about setting up turn 1 negates and floodgates so your opponent can't play and you win, and some turn 2 OTK decks which are explosive enough to just win on turn 2. Matches rarely last past turn 3.

And don't forget about hand traps

Yeah, that's just not a fun design in my eyes.
