Thank you. Big fan of all your Igknight combos too. Wondering what your take on this combo is, timestar magician into summoner monk abuse?

@@Immortal-sr8gq This deck is pretty bad, normally one would like to run an extra equip spell so that Isolde is always live but we can't run any extra spells because of Gallis' effect.

@@TheMrG0AT Not sure how familiar you are with the concept of missing timing but 'earthbound release' uses the phrasing "when 'x' you can" Therefore earthbound release can only respond to the summon of a monster if it was chain link 1. If you go chain Link 1 Beatrice then chain link 2 nightmare archfiends the last thing to happen in that chain was the Beatrice effect meaning earthbound release can't legally be activated. Always ensure nightmare archfiends is chainlink 1.

@@4n6 Do you not miss Isolde. :)❤️

@@Ailtir I didn't say that I just don't like Master Duel as a whole mainly because of the slow speed among other things.

This is an offline 'hacked' version of the master duel client with all cards available, you can see that I'm using it to get custom starting hands as well. You can search for terms like 'ygomaster' or 'pixeltris' to find it.

@Ailtir now I need to find it. There are times when I want to test a deck and use my ultra rare to test it out and did not go as plan.

@@Immortal-sr8gq There are a lot of other autosims that are much easier to set up and use. I just like this for recordings as the master duel client has good visual polish.

@@jaycarl85 Thank you. I think a true 1 card combo might be possible with only minor changes but even getting this to work was quite challenging for me.

@@GoriCHAD Very hard to get access to non-fiends in yubel. I've seen people just send archfiends heiress using verte + miracle fusion but this way uses fewer garnets.

@@GoriCHAD Almost 1 card Gimmick puppet FTK with "the world" czcams.com/video/U2EaSyGBH8k/video.html

@@Ailtir Ah, so sending it as a Fusion Material counts as an effect? Seems great. I'll check the Gimmick Puppet one soon. :D

@@ShadowSaberBaroxio Nightmare archfiends summons 3x 2000 atk tokens that each deal 800x damage when destroyed for a total of 2400 damage. Earthbound release destroys the tokens dealing damage equal to their original attack so 3*2000 = 6000

@@Ailtir Thank you.

Uppercutter is a 1 card starter, so it's the best card to play at 3 copies. :D

Thanks.

🥴

@@SiverShadow I think the rollback FTK based on Gorichad's list is the most competitive FTK I have posted on this channel. The dark strike fighter list I have posted here is probably the best FTK relative to the number of URs required.

To enter main phase 2 you must enter the battle phase which is impossible on the first turn. Obviously not practical, I just thought it was an interesting showcase.

Never tested it but yes, you should be able to pendulum summon it with no effect and when you summon auroradon later it should have space to summon 3 tokens.

@@Ailtir I see, then we can just play generic link 2 to remove the token(s). This one's great, it's 99.62% chance to FTK for the 60 cards version.

@@GoriCHAD I did a Monte Carlo simulation of the 40 card decklist shown in this video where I replaced one of the Igknights with Moon Mirror Shield. I did 20 million test hands and found the probability to open a hand capable of performing the FTK to be around ~99.68% I am missing a couple of specific edge cases with certain 3 card combinations that are very difficult to account for with my current approach but I think overall it should still be clear that playing these kind of FTKs with pure Igknights and relying on 2 card combos may be as consistent as playing a version with multiple 1 card starters that each introduce their own garnets. I will be able to do a more extensive comparison in a couple of days and will see if I can find a more conclusive answer.

@@Ailtir Seems great. Yeah, a 2nd equip spell is the game changer, because we only have 0.5% to draw both, and it's possible to shuffle Moon Mirror back when we draw it. :D 2 Igknights is indeed super consistent, but I'm too lazy to calculate 2 cards combo starters. XD

The only disadvantage of running pure Igknight is the fact that it requires 2 cards to search the 1 card starters, and 2 cards to search extenders, so it hurts the consistency more if we're playing more non-Igknight cards like staples. :D

I only realised long after uploading that the field spell is also a hard garnet in this combo because even the discard with Majesty Pegasus is important. This is probably the least viable FTK I have posted given just how rigid the combo is, the dark strike fighter combo I posted in my latest video runs the same number of garnets and is a lot more flexible.

@@Ailtir Oh just realized we need to send that Lv.5 to the GY with Majesty. On the other hand, it's fine to play 2 or even 3 copies of Black Garden because it disables Imperm. Haven't got a chance to watch that one, I'll check it out.

Do we only win with going first? What about getting gand trap? How about if we have to go second , can we still win? Im new to FTK deck please help thanks much

@@the_anonymous369 Going second can be quite challenging, the objective would typically be to go for the Zealantis OTK. The nature of the current game is 1 card combos, 1 card extenders and 15+ handtraps which Igknights are just not very well suited for.

By pressing the little gear icon top left and then pressing the red surrender button.

There's no decklist or anything, I'm using an offline client to give myself a custom hand and a stacked 12 card deck with only the necessary combo pieces for the sake of a showcase. I have seen some people try to play something like this in tearlament labrynth though if you wanted to try something similar.

I think it's only slightly more likely to pull this off than it is to open 5 pieces of exodia.

@@Ailtir Haha only if all 5 Exodia pieces are at 2 or 3. XD

Transaction rollback copied the effect of 'earthbound release' in grave.

I thought exceed the pendulum was going to be really strong but I have not found a single use for it yet. Konami got tired of writing 'non-token monsters' on all their link card material requirements and it has hurt Igknights a lot.

One more combo with astrograph and a higher ratio of level 6 igknights. No mali or selene needed. czcams.com/video/R7LE0IHpui8/video.htmlsi=rfgvfIle0SSQmJhW

Commented on that other video IIRC. You can add Bull for Savage and maybe Arc Light for extra protection that can be made with 1 extra Igknight. :D

I think you can get away with only 2 or 3 Lv.6 Igknight if you're playing Malicious. It means more space for Bull and starters like PK or Armageddon Knight or maybe even staples. :D

Oh wait, just realized there are 3 combos in this video, in that case Armageddon Knight is the best addition, because it's a 1 card starter thanks to Malicious, and can even send Archfiend if it's Pendulum Summoned, so we only need 1 Beatrice. :D

Oh yeah, It felt really bad to pop promethean but I was just tunnel-visioned on getting promethean off the board so I could summon chronograph sorcerer. I knew the end of the combo was really inefficient with material, I'll have to try that.

@@Ailtir Well, it gave you 2 additional bodies, so you can keep Electrumite and recycle its effect with Zealantis. So it's either Apollousa or S:P. :D Still, this is a true 1 card combo because we're not playing Majesty, better than mine. :D

And I think it's possible to save 1 more ED slot by playing Reprodocus instead of 2 Link Spiders. Haven't done a proper routing for the combo though. :D

@@GoriCHAD Yeah, that helps quite a lot. We can cut a promethean and the knightmare phoenix from the extra deck but need to add a secure gardna since wicckid can't be popped by electrumite if we're doing the pure 1 card combo. We actually end up with a lot of extra material at the end compared to what I had at the end of this video, with our one free extra deck slot we can end on a 4 mat apo as part of the 1 card combo. Thank you again.

@@Ailtir Oh right, just realized Wicckid can't be destroyed. And man, I thought Reprodocus is Cyberse this time, turns out it's a Dinosaur. XD

It's a direct copy basically, the difference is that SHS only needs ~2-3 extra deck slots dedicated to the FTK and can calamity lock if it fails, meanwhile Igknights need 13 ED slots with no backup plan. :)

@@Ailtir Well, at least we can end with Apollousa and S:P, but ShS can also do that with less resource. XD

This was difficult to put together but I had to do it for my old beloved blaze Fenix. I feel like there is more potential to this combo. No clock lizard, tomahawk for only 2 tokens is very sad and zealantis for only 600 burn is pathetic.

@@Ailtir Haha I can only use Clock Lizard for my new 0 UR Salamangreat OTK because it requires 2 Cyberse monsters, good for fulfilling Violet Chimera's activation condition (-400*x attack). This is actually my go to FTK for ShS, because it can easily Summon Lv.4s for Dugares to bring Fenix back, and it requires 0 garnet there. XD

Thank you, full credit to somebody from discord for pointing out brilliant rose. The extra deck should have any one additional gem-knight in it in case we draw lapis, with that any hand capable of making isolde can FTK.

@@Ailtir Haha I see. Yeah, noticed the "what if I draw Lapis" scenario too. Guess 3 Lapis Lazuli is the way to go, we still have 5 ED slots left after all. :D

Oh never mind, it will only reset if we Pendulum Summon that monster, it'll be fine because it stays in the ED after we destroyed it. :D

@@GoriCHAD Yeah, it won't let you add an ignis phoenix because we summoned it back out but it does let you add a copy of the igknight you grabbed with isolde's first effect.
