James Arc "The Professor"
Registrace 5. 12. 2022
Hello Duelists - my name is James, I play a LOT of retro format Yu-Gi-Oh... and have been pretty successful at it. I'm here to share my knowledge about how I approach the game, how I've taken down recent tournaments, and learning new strategies while we're at it. Expect deep-dive strategy content, insider reports from other top players, and the occasional tournament stream. ❤
How FISHBORG Stole Nationals
It's the new hottest deck on the block - Dream Frog. Let me be your spiritual guide through the astral realm of playing this complicated deck... some replays of my gameplay contained within, as well as some history of how Bronte and I worked on the concept. Enjoy and happy frogging!

My teammate Bronte won the Ultimate Time Wizard event at the NAWCQ with a deck we've worked on a lot we call it Dream Frog, a hybrid frog combo list. Super proud of him for taking it down even though I couldn't be there! More detailed explanations to come.
ZETA CONTROL?!? Kata's 9th Place SPICE 🥵 Edison $1K Deck Profile
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 14 dny
Kata is a great local player who's been brewing a SPICY Zeta Reticulant deck for a while, and he's getting closer and closer to making topcut. This was a 74-man tournament which I'm sure makes it the best performing Zeta deck... ever? Give the man his flowers for having the courage to try something unique!

This is the Twilight list used by the elusive slimmrglimmr to get 1st on the duelingbook ladder in the spring season - an impressive feat for sure. The list is pretty unique and a solid take on the Twilight strategy that hasn't seen much success in Edison. It's a banger, folks!!

Ame tu deck, es asombroso.
How can i access this edison tuned DB?
please purchase a proper mic so we can hear you better, so noisy/echoy rn
How do you get DB in Dark Mode 👀
How many players?
@@clubberlang1689 believe the final count was 466
@@jamesarcygo oh God, finally people are enjoying this format
Lmao that poor guy
Do you think the ladder opponent in your last story knows how the rulings work and was doing some 4D chess to tilt you?
Opinion on turbo rocket/cannon?
I think it’s so cool that the 6 draw trap strategy just became popular last month and players like Brontë are already creating strata around that! He said he included the one Jar of Greed to bluff that he had 6 and making his opponent not respect his backrow as much
Using only 1 Jar to make the opponent think you might be on 6 is genius! They won’t respect your backrow and bam you flip mirror force or skemthing
What is the music
bronte!
How is the GB match up? I find in hero frogs the hero’s help out a lot while the frog engine takes a bit of a step back. How does siding look like againest that match up for the winning deck in particular?
I have never lost to gb with this deck
Now need combos and replays
The name makes no sense, just another frog synchro variant
Love this list and all the testing/theory behind it. As always, you are the mastermind behind some brilliant decks
the only thing that has been solved in Edison is that Cuias is good
15:31 Why would D.D. Assailant be played over D.D. Warrior Lady?
Some people like it because it doesn’t get hit by ddv, runs over dyna, and can still trade with bigger monsters
In summary, substitoad is fucking insanely broken. Shocking I know
I didn’t know it was legal lmao
why d prisons over bottomless?
Vanity perhaps
Dyna & vanitys
Hey, I’m the creator of the Forg deck that topped UK nats and I definitely resonate with a lot of what you say about arriving at the concept of your deck. I appreciate our decks are different in many ways, but they both apply the similar basic concept of getting the most out of substitoad by using Fishborg to unlock its full potential. You talked about how when playing the fish deck you realised that often the games you felt the most comfortable when you are just doing sub plays, and that sub realistically is the best card in the fish deck. I came to the exact same conclusion as you in the same manner. Playing fish was quite a good teaching experience to springboard onto this idea. I’m glad your teammate won this event with this deck, and it’s a pity you couldn’t compete yourself. IMO this concept of deck blows the regular hero frog stuff out of the water, and it’s only gonna be a matter of time before most other players start realising it too.
This deck is such a cook, big fan
Watch me cook!!!! 👨🍳 Congrats to you and the squad!!!
We'll see if dream frog catches on but it's wholesome how affectionate the name feels. I'd like to hear more about how you feel about Salvage. I think it's a really strong card that fills a lot of roles. Gets you to Sub through Swap, lets you recover a utility frog they may have thought was dealt with, helps fuel Fishborg and discard traps. Just a really good piece that I think really completed the deck. Basically was wondering if this was a notable diverging point for you from Bronte and if you're warming up to it at all. Either way, expecting more experimenting cause it looks like the deck has loads of room to develop. Good work on the deck!
I had some versions trying Salvage but I always want to max Avarice and I thought I would brick with so many. Also cutting Flip Flop you lose a lot of utility with Salvage. At the end of the day they have similar functions to fuel the discard traps and fishborg as well as being good lategame topdecks, but Salvage is only ever finding Sub/Swaps, while Avarice can actually find you a Monarch/Junk/Traps. It's still good though for sure
Flip flop is a really interesting one. Such a powerful card but a lot of trade-off, both in the decklist and in the end boards
I've been searching for coverage of this deck since it first posted. Thanks for doing this, James.
Let’s talk about the airline screwjob of 2024, they had to stop you from winning somehow! 👑
I love the name FORGS idk where DREAM came from, maybe it’ll stick but it feels random
It is a very different deck and if you watch the video I explain the name 👍
@@jamesarcygo okay, saw the explanation Definitely gonna push FORGS lol I was hoping it would be like an acronym or something deck is solid tho
@TheMacroShow it’s 2 different decks
FishForgs sounds kinda cool 😂
Hello
Good Morning
Hey I know this guy
fuck man, Bronte is so much more handsome then marcus its crazy

anywhere i could see the card list? congrats on the win, this is a dope deck
Glad you won bro, i was the dragon player from round 3. Sorry i couldnt rematch you. Lost again to glads in round 5 lol
Having 1 copy of Jar of Greed to psyop your opponent into thinking you're also playing Legacy of Yata's, and then your other two traps actually being non chainable traps with mirror force and Torrential is a 300 IQ Gigabrain play coming into this event
Where can I find coverage for this?
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO BRONTE
Bronte is acting like he doesn't even want to show it 🤣 Cool list
no gish is strange
You cant make gish in this because it needs a level 3 non tuner
You can play a Beelze Frog instead of the Jar if you need a L3 non-tuner
Based list. I need to see some games with it for sure.
this is post board combo frogs haha
HaHa!!! Laugh out loud!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
@@bobbybero7452 you good?
Is this the deck that you wanted to hold until nats?
@@00dreamer00 yes very similar
Des Frog explanation?
Didn't even name the card. Completely insane that he brushed over this. I am confused also
@@TheListening922 you can make brio/brd/colossal with it and fishborg. Also sometimes can summon it mid combo to clear a monster on their field
It's a L5 frog, that's all that matters. Same reason some people will play Beelze Frog in pile decks so you can get a L3 frog
Congrats to Bronte and the decks' success. You deserve so much credit for working on the deck. 🎉 Executive Chef James 👨🍳
I get winning is hard and all but he could have at least tried to sound a little excited
This is a based way to record one of these videos. State of people saying "I play 3 Sunstitoad because the card is very good, loved drawing it all weekend". Just say what's in your deck and move on. Video as a method of sharing decklists is stupid to begin with. Images or text is much better.
just another day at the office
Lmao he sounds tired which is understandable bro just won an event
ur silly
@@UltanOfficialVideos are a great way to explain over one’s tought process on building the deck and how they performed in reality. That’s the point
nice to see the work come to fruition congrats to bronte!
they’ve been cooking
