In the Yugitard community there had been lots of complaints by losers like me that a lot of modern card art had been too much generic waifubait animegurls, and not enough monsters for the monster cards, but KONAMI follows the money, and money follows the coomers
Many of the older art had been more monsterous, ghosts, zombies, hydras, mythic creatures from europe or asia, but the past decade more waifu shit had been released in archtypes cuz they sell more cards . It's so obvious too
Here's a post about waifudecks:

it's because it makes our neckbeard hobby look even more manchildlike (unironically)
Anyways sorry, today's post: basically OP asks: what was ur favorite Yugioh playmat? Which is basically these super special rubber mats for turbo autists, because the starter-deck default paper playfield provided in every yugioh sold deck wasn't cool enough for Yugioh straggot eletists.
The 4 examples OP provides, 3 of them are waifubait, and even the Yugioh sub regulars pick up on this

at least OP takes it in stride
Does this one go to anime or /h/traditional games?

it looks way less coomer-y and fits the anime's style
those playmats don't even look like they're from the same franchise
