I'm doing my best Cimo impression and playing Blackwing in a Master Duel Tournament. Wish me luck.
Edit: I got 2-0'd through the entire tournament.
SHE HAS TOWER'D MY BONE AND IS ABSORBING MY SOUL
Tipping my scally cap to those Who have PTSD from the Blue eyes flood of 2021
No
@@That1powergamer I was running Pure Red-Eyes Burn as a defense mechanism, so I'm okay but thank you for the consideration anyway...
Teaching my friend Yu-Gi-Oh and losing to him choosing Ojama as his starter archetype is my proudest L
Gigachad friend holy
Based
Yikes, and I've seen Ojamas losing to a Master Duel tutorial deck too.
@@SparkShadow212 well the best way to play ojama is a-z dragon buster Cannon turbo.
@@malexthegreat Well, the match I was watching was pure Ojamas. Now, you might be wondering, why would anyone want to build that deck, in which I say, good fcking question.
“She absorbin’ my soul thru my Bone Tower” is decidedly the best variation of the joke with that monster MBT, you got there fast enough.
I will never forget my worst locals experience ever in the summer of 2015. I was playing Shaddoll and I lost round 1 to Nekroz. Round 2 I get paired against a guy who goes Banisher of the Light equip Moon Mirror Shield and I immediately realise I have zero outs in my deck
Dragon bounce LETS GOOO?
Surely all you'd really need is a squamata or dragon?
Moon mirror shield is definite wacky outplay tech
Funny enough someone winda'd me and hidden amory'd for moon mirror sheild one time
My guy it was 2015, you weren't running Squamata/Dragon??
THAT SUBMARINEROID STORY IS SO PAINFULLY TRUE. In my childhood my deck building was so God awful that whenever I got versed against him I just surrendered.
Bruh the 1800 defence was annoying when he would pull out the damn train to run over whatever you make to beat it
@@jtroll462 EXACTLY 💯
Haha its funny i feel like i did better with my childhood jank decks than i ever have trying to play viable decks nowadays 😅
So true, I lost count of how many times I found myself wanting to strangle that blue haired nerd.
lmao those video game opponents aren't fucking around sometimes. the fattest L I've ever taken was in one of the Gameboy Advance or DS games, I forget all the context, but somebody managed to summon fucking Dark Sage on me and I just didn't have the resources to climb over it. I was so embarrassed for so long.
Winning a tournament with Crystal Beasts in 2009, only to show up to the next one with the same deck and lose to Heart of the Underdog Bungus Turbo in the first round saw me as both the hero and villain of this framework within rapid succession.
Lost to a deck like this once. The guy fusion in defense mode that dragon thing (i think is first of the dragon, the name of the card) and stall until exodia.
I'd have to say a lot of people felt that way at regionals against me piloting Inferno Tempest/Gren Maju/Soul Absorption at a time where people were still legit tributing for Jinzo. Watching the Jinzo player realize that A) those face-down cards aren't traps and B) They were about to lose to them was worth the 5-4 record.
I'm a regular Traptrix player and I once lost to Sangan Beatdown. They must've had an actual strategy but they opted not to use it because the most braindead strat was actually working
It's what I get for not running OG Trap Hole I guess
What happened you bricked and didn’t draw a monster?
@@turtlesfan44 Sera is 800
That's why you always run og trap hole. I also use traptrix mainly on master duel) and I can't count how many times og trap hole was better than any other form of trap hole.
Master duel just had an entire format of meta decks getting clapped by Ben Kei OTK.
Trueeee
I personally run Supreme king dark rebellion to shut down stuff like that even better if they don't read and treat it like og dark rebellion
That was a dark time, we don't talk about that.
I was playing Floowandereeze on MD trying to grind ladder after a reset and during one duel my only option going first was barrier statue pass. Opponent proceeds to widow anchor my statue then use Rage with Eyes of Blue to face down banish it along with their entire hand to special 3 Blue Eyes from deck and OTK me. I haven't been outplayed so hard before or since.
All you can do in that situation is laugh :)
Funny I had the same situation with Live Twin in the current event, summonend one of the live twins, op effect veilered, so I passed the turn, had a couple of handtraps, which were all useless against Rage with Eyes of Blue. I was like WTF just happenend.
For the guy that lost to Syrus' Vehicroid deck, don't feel bad. When I was getting back into YuGiOh, I was playing Duel Academy and had a 12 game loss streak TO CHUMLEY'S KOALA DECK. I dodged that sucker every time I found him ever since
It's midnight. i can't sleep. It's time to watch MBT
Same
Same time same reason
Grande hahahaha io uguale
It's 6pm for me
It’s not midnight sorry
Matter transporter on Ladd is kinda based for the era
I remember once when a hero player with almost none of the good hero cards washed the floor with an actual hero deck by using bubble man + mask change into masked hero vapor for 1st game, and 2nd game he sat down on a speed duel plasma and won the set.
Bubble Man Mask Change into Vapor? What format was this? 🤣
I think that the guy who lost to water dragon cluster was talking about me. I literally played water dragon lightsworn for like a year in duel links to the point where I was somewhat known for it. I absolutely love that deck, it's probably the best thing I've ever come up with.
Well props to you for being a proper rogue.
water dragon clussy
I . . . I must know more. Please.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 I like to play garbage sometimes as long as there's legitimate synergy and surprisingly, there is very real synergy here because of the card Bonding - DHO. The card shuffles into deck from hand or gy 1 each of duoterion, hydrogeddon, and oxygeddon to summon a water dragon or water dragon cluster from hand or gy. From gy it can also banish itself to search a water dragon or cluster. I played it and duoterion at 3 because duoterion searches it. I then also played 1 each of the others and I think a couple cluster. Lightsworn at the time was just really good in duel links and already being played in stuff like witchcrafter and was a very efficient engine to get all this stuff in grave and could even get an extra copy of DHO out of my hand with lumina so I could search cluster if it was the last piece I needed. Lightsworn also provided effective removal for backrow so I could safely bring in cluster to enable an otk. The deck was not good. The deck was barely consistent and sometimes even failed to otk. I loved it anyway.
Wow I got the Water Dragon cards ages ago and they felt so bad, but that still sounds so nice. I imagine that with the recent power creep this can't even make Legend? (even without no rank downs anymore)
Honestly, the LADD + IMT combo is pretty sick
You can do the same with Moon Mirror Shield. Same goes for Apollousa.
Moon Mirror reloads them when you attack.
I certainly lost to that one a few times, only because the guy running the deck knew how to recur that card like a MF.
Wouldnt appo go to 0 since its original attack is undefined?
Yeah, no shame loosing against someone who's bending fire.
Well i learned two things today 😂
If this was made today he wouldve mentioned the Clayman Incident
The use of the German card name in the thumbnail is nothing short of exquisite and I commend you.
Morphtronics. For years during 5Ds I always lost to Morphtronics. Initially in video games, but even going to a regionals I encounter the 1 loon who brought them, got matched up against them and got my black-feathery ass handed to me on a plate with hoisin sauce.
yeah, you must not let Leo build a board
Nice battle immunity your armor master got there. Sure would be a shame if I equipped Power Tool Dragon with Double Tool C & D and ran over it anyways . . .
I like the wild ride of Cardian. It can go the distance through any hand trap if you get lucky enough.
Except Droll
I'm so proud to see someone reported a Bone Tower loss, because there's a non-zero chance it was me.
Mayakashi Mill is the funniest deck to win with, because you and your opponent both just watch their chance of drawing an out slowly leak away.
I broke someone's heart in the Synchro Event on Master Duel when Hajun getting Ashed was met by Double Summon Dakki.
Mayakashi Mill is my absolute favorite deck. Brought it to locals once just for the funny and made a guy so fucking upset his face looked like a squashed tomato
You play mayakashi mill too?
In my newer days of yugioh I would use UA and have Battlin Boxers in my side deck as a smoke screen. Was funny
hahahaaahahah
I got otk'd by Joey Wheeler in Legacy of the Duelist once. It was the most Joey otk too. We are talking Baby Dragon, Gearfried, and dice cards here.
Turns out Giant Trunade is rather powerful at board breaking when you are Odion and all your cards are trap monsters.
Watched a friend of mine playing dino with 3 misc lose to a graydle player and the guy playing graydle topped his first locals lmao
6:38 I finally made it on a MBT video. I still don’t know why they didn’t just make VFD.
i think you somehow went up against the Danny viewer Mepomep, they used to make a different buck wild VW engine deck like every week. one time it was rhongo PLUS vfd PLUS the wicked avatar
I used to play solar flare dragon burn combo as a child, back when we thought 4000 LP (or sometimes 2000 LP) was normal.
It worked well so far so I entered a local my town hosted for ~10 y/o's and immediatly my unbeatable strategy lost to a guy only using 5 cards: Naturia Beans, Judge Man and 3 Call of the Haunted.
Lost to frogs with true draco(back when they had master piece) because I shuffled my cards out of my opponents sight(this was my first locals and I was dumb) so that I wouldn't accidently reveal that I was playing a deck that had a good matchup against frogs, so he got suspicious and decided to cut my deck 3 times and I ended up drawing all 3 maiden 2 master piece for opening hand and lost
That Kozmo one particularly hits, because I've been on the delivering end of that. Back when Master Duel came out, it was my re-entry into the game after like 2019ish, when Duel Overload and it's list of felons single-handedly pushed me out for a few years. Once I had made my beloved Vampire deck, there was still room for me to tinker, so I built Kozmos as kind of a joke, because it's been a pet-deck of me and my friend for years. What I didn't expect was absolutely trashing my friend's Sky Striker build and ranking up into Gold rank without so much as breaking a sweat off the back of this janky 2015 archetype. For a bit, I was absolutely confused. I knew in my bones these guys weren't good, but the results were not lying. This didn't last, because the minute Swordsoul came in and showed me what a YGO deck looked like at the time, it all clicked. Kozmos are not good, but they have specific ways in which they troll certain strategies and having semi-safe access to banish-floodgates let's them cheat wins really efficiently in a best-of-1 format.
4:01 honestly, to this day, I still don't know what the win condition for Kurakuri decks are without them playing without some other deck with a legit win condition
iirc it's supposed to be swarming big bodies but that hasn't cut it since like 2015
It used to be an engine for VFD turbo,back when Halqi and Aurora were legal.The actual deck tries to synchro summon a lot and use a weird gimmick of changing battle positions
I cant believe the Branded player teching Blue-Eyes Jet, followed by MBT losing his mind over how that was possible, didnt make the cut
I remember losing to dustons one or two times from a friend in the yugioh group in highschool. It was either due to goblin king otk or being locked out of summoning at all with the worlds worst ojama lock ever
My proudest L was playing monarchs, setting Up Vanity Pass. My opponent Impermed Vanity, normal Summoned Ojama Blue and crashed Blue 3 times and then they summoned Red.off the last Ojamatch. The ended the battle phase with 5 gremlins and turned 4 of them into Apollousa did knightmare climbing while getting the colink draw. Used Ojamassimilation and ended their turn with A-to-Z, Apollousa, and Avarmax. They had 6 cards in hand, as soon as activated an effect they negated with A-to-Z and discarded a third Ojamagic.
The guy had 9 negates in hand 4 monster negates and I couldn't beat over Apollousa because of Avarmax and because my hand was 5 cards I Activated 5 cards and they still had negates online.
Just two hours ago I got my ass handed by someone playing King Tiger Wanghu control
When I was first teaching my sibling how to play they were adamant about not playing blue eyes, or railways, or heroes, or any of the starter decks at the time. They instead played Qliforts. I lost a lot.
I lost in swiss at a regional playing full power mermail to pure jurrac. Lost game one to the sheer surprise of seeing "summon guaiba damage step lance" in that day and age, rolled him game 2, opened unplayable game 3. Opponent was a chill dude and we had a good laugh about it but I still drank to excess that night.
For me it was me playing salad.
And my oppenent bodied me with Ursatic.
Because their boss directly negates all links and XYZ monsters exactly.
The only 2 monster types in the extra deck.
And when I thought "Oh I just use Roar and win"
The guy destroyed Roar, then D.D. Crowed it.
I lost both games because I had no idea their field spell could steal monsters, and the fact I didnt think about a random synchro that negates monsters without a level would show up.
The worst L I've ever had was losing to Dice Jar turbo. At 6000 damage 2 across both games.
That was probably me I loved running that card as a kid, did it happen at a books a million?
@@turtlesfan44 No no, it was with my friend on Dueling Nexus
@@archangelalucard814 ah I see
I once went to locals.
Smoked a bunch of weed outside beside the tacobell trash can .
Came back inside and proceeded to lose every game I played.
It was because it took my actual brain to have to read my cards and I realized I brought a goat deck to the meta pool .
Dinomorphia, he had that one floodgate that i had no outs to and couldn't draw the out to
A guy topped locals with a Dino starter deck, he literally arrived, bought the starter and signed in
That guy is the hero we deserve
Flower Cardians? Oh, that was a nightmare in Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution when I tried to rush the Arc-V campaign first. Imagine choosing between outing a Lightshower with a terrible loaner with no outs to Lightshower or with basically just Yugi's Grandpa's shop unlocked and the Ash Blossom and Nibiru packs light-years away. I had to keep trying and trying until eventually the AI killed itself with Super Koi Koi when it had lethal on board.
I won a highly competitive locals during peak Nekroz Tier 0 format with Ghostricks (5 of us topped regionals). I 2-0'd 2 Nekroz players and a BA player, so it's not like I was playing against other jank. The reason I brought Ghostricks was because one guy regularly played Noble Knights and Ghostricks was the only deck I had that had any consistent outs to an untargetable, OPT indestructible 3500 ATK Artogious.
I took a bit of a break from Yugioh and my friend got me back into it around the time the Rokket structure deck came out and I played that.
He would always beat me with Evil Eye since it was unlike anything I'd had ever seen at the time and I just didn't know how to deal with it lol.
I went to locals with Clown Control fairly often around the start of the XYZ era. I distinctly remember going against Six Samurais, one time, and managing to pull out Naturia Barkion, Barkion, and Landoise... all in one turn... before Soul Charge existed... with C l o w n s . . .
I'm sure some people adamantly hate my guts.
Back on Legacy of the Duelist I had a Galaxy Eyes Prime Photon Dragon get dark holed. It comes back during 2nd SP with double attack (8k).I used Mst on one of 2 unknown backrow. it was judgement of anubis, which then burned me for 8k by targeting my prime photon dragon
i remember just starting out and losing to Final Countdown for the first time. I had never really experienced it before and they just kept flipping Waboku's and every time I summoned to contest them they'd drop Lava Golem on me...
A couple formats ago I was playing Rokket Dragon Link (a deck I’ve been playing for months and years with previous variations) and I lost to Arcana Knights Slifer Virtual World …. Never saw the dude again so I could get his list
Wasn't quite a loss, but years back I quit a duel at school because the guy I was against refused to accept that setting a card is not normal summoning it. I was playing Ghostrick.
I remember losing may times to Golden Castle of the Stromberg and Noble Knights in Yu-Gi-Oh Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution. In general the AI of the game is not that good but for these decks it had everything. Also in that game I lost a lot to Salamangreat, but I guess that deck was actually good, to the point I had to use ghost reaper & winter cherries.
I was playing Synchrons back around the time Xyz Monsters first came out, and a friend of mine opened Thunder King Rai-Oh. I looked at my opening hand, I mulled my whole deck over in my head, and realized to my horror that I didn't have an out. My whole day was ended by one card...lesson _painfully_ learned.
I made a Shaddoll wendigo ice barrier deck once as a challenge to combine the weakest archetype and one of the weakest cards in a strong archetype. Basically shaddoll fusion sends phalanx to synchro with dux and ice barriers did draw engine and stun, but my game plan actively used the namesake of the deck and my friends were mad at me for winning (i think construct was at 1 or banned when i did this for context bc it was a while ago)
Barbaros Skill Drain win in POTE format? That's cool, I think! Barbaros is one of my favorite "archetypes" (it is considered its own archetype on Konami's official YGO deck search site) in the game, and I've been struggling to find a good way of using it. I would love to see this deckbuild.
I've actually not been on the receiving end of this kind of bad matchup BS, to my knowledge... but I sure as hell have been on the giving end! Two instances I remember was frustrating a Chaos Yata-Lock player during its prime with a rather crappy feline-themed bounce control deck (he ultimately got the lock in, but it took some time, and he actually congratulated me on it, at the end; that was the time that I realized that even bad decks, if build well and in certain matchups, can beat a top deck), and when I went to locals and whupped a couple of top-strength Mecha Phantom Beast players with Wanghu stun (that deck is still one of my favorites to this day, and I'm so glad it got new legs with the release of Menghu).
It is an archetype, King Beast Barbaros supports it
@@manjackson2772 Yeah, I find that funny; Barbaros has 3 cards to its name, and it's only an archetype because the newest card has an effect that mentions "Barbaros" specifically. I remember, when they were making that poll for what structure deck people wanted made, back in the day, Barbaros was one of the options, which seemed weird to me, but I'm thinking that King Beast Barbaros was a result of that poll.
Ah good memories. I remember back in the day (probably '18-19) I was playing either Cyber Dragons or Legendary Ocean, and I had a friend wash me with Counter Fairies.
On the flip side, I remember going up against Crystons with another friend, and found very quickly Ocean ruins their plays. And when they finally played around it, Double Cyclone and they are 100% out of place. Then, I pummeled with Mobius
Imagine losing to an Elemental HERO Clayman
I remember a format when ThunDra and Sky Strikers were around. I don't think I was seeing Salamangreats yet. Well, one duel got a few spectators because it was 'Lswarm vs Cyberdarks. In what, like 2018? 2019?
Anyway, Cyberdarks won. It was a build like Duel Links - Desperado Barrel Dragon was a boss. Combined with Edge/Cannon/N'tss control. Anywho, Exciton Knight, board wipe after board wipe after spot removal - the Lswarm player surrendered because he ran out of gas. While Cyberdark player just kept rebuilding.
I've been getting some wins in the Link festival by using Borrelload Riot Dragon, because no one seems to run anything that can out it outside of maybe a single Raigeki
I remember getting 2-0ed by ancient gear mystic mine during the eternal format when I was on Endymion. He used the Qliphort link to negate his Mystic mine and otk with the Ancient gear fusion monsters
I clearly remember one L I had. I was up against Advanced Crystal Beasts while playing Kshatri-La. I had most of the game through and through, but the game was taking a while and my opponents deck was running thin. Then he activates his Emerald Tortoise to switch my Shangri-La to attack mode, and Xyz Summon REGULAR Utopia, only to attack for 5K because he managed to draw the DoN at the bottom of his deck.
Worst part is I even banished his Utopia Double thinking that was the right thing to do, but my dumbass forgot he can just summon the normal one XD. Never doing that again.
That bone tower story underneath the inferno fire blast one is also rough, oof to all of these but it definitely happens
Notes from an Ancient Gear Mechanic;
Before I got hired by the garage, I'm not proud to admit I was a Red-Eyes Thug. I got into a Best of 7 feud with some Archfiend idiot. My record in that was 2 wins, 2 losses and 3 draws....
Pilot Trevelyan signing off,
Game Over!
Earth machine most definitely has an out for leo with astral kuriboh. It has no protection but by battle and card effects? Enterblathnir, dingirsu, zues, and any of the many good generic cards they play like skill drain deal with it easily. All one card combos. Heck just use that to your advantage and reduce its atk to 0 with ancient gear ballista and make liebe to atk it over and over till the opponent is dead Dont know what that guy playing earth machine was on.
Depends very much on when it occurred and if any of those outs were released yet
@@kidumby7599 earth machine has been out since early 2020 in a recognizable form, astral kuriboh came out in late 2021 so we know the time period and that every single out i mentioned has been out before it even existed as a functional deck and well before this duel occured. They are all one card combos into an out, of which there are 12-15 starters an earth machine deck plays on average with a consistency of over 85% in its opening hand. Considering leo has to be out for 3 turn cycles we can assume the earth machine player saw atleast 8 cards through the minimum 3 turns and that gives them atleast a 98.5% statistical probability of seeing an out within the first 8 cards they drew. If we count the generic outs the deck plays it grows to nearly impossible to not see an out. So again i move the blame to the player not the deck. Do you have any other doubts?
At my first ever event, I had made a budget Lightsworn Rulers deck using structure decks and tins. My dorm mates helped me put together an extra deck. The first round, I lost to a stall deck who did not declare a single attack because I played hyper turbo and decked myself out. That said, I did win Game 2 with Gimmick Puppet of Leo using 3 JDs. My friend nearly ran out of the building because he never saw that card work before lol
back when i first got into YGO in the very beginning of the vrains era i was running world chalice for a while. i kept the deck and updated it a bit as we got new support. eventually we got the knightmares and i couldn't have been more stoked to have a generic toolbox to use my critical mass of dudes on.
i duel my friend, we pick lower to med power decks. i was on chalice he was on heros. i don't remember everything on the field, but i ended turn 1 with colinked phoenix cerb and gryphon and i was so happy with it and so proud of my lil end board bc i couldn't be destroyed by battle or card effect. mf pulls out vision hero trinity and honest neos and just attacks into cerb 3 times for game. i was so sad. that was the day i learned the importance of negates.
My first every game while I was teaching my brother, I played a disaster of a deck while he was on a old blue eyes structure. Needless to say I've lost. But I'm proud of him for getting better at the game.
Almost everyone at least contemplates role playing an anime character at 1 point or another.
The person that lost to the roid deck was roll playing
A background character.
I once lost to Barrier Statue Control on Master Duel. They'd drop whatever Statues and equip them with Moon Mirror Shield and whatever other equips that would guarantee they'd run over whatever I could Normal. Drawing the out (Feather Duster in my case) doesn't matter when those cards either float into something else or additional copies, or add themselves back from the GY. It was more unfun than even Numerons.
Ugh, that hop ear clip gives me flashbacks to a game of master duel i had a couple weeks ago. I normal summon, opponent gizmek orochi's to summon, then hop ear'd into baronne.
In Master Duel, I was trying out Altergeist and didn’t quite know how to navigate the deck. Match with a person running BEAVER WARRIOR BEATDOWN. The whole goal was to summon out Beaver Warrior and buff them up with equipt spells. I opened bad and they did not.
3:55 what's funny is that card is actually super playable in Karakuri Machina in MD rn. It's not meta but if you don't get ashed you can draw 5-6 cards and end on stuff like Baronne, Regulus, and Borreload Savage Dragon.
I need these twitter thread videos more! How often do these get
Uploaded?
I remember going to a regionals with U.A. in college. I didn't have a lot of money and really enjoyed the archetype. There was a lot of Shaddoll and BA, and I performing very well. When l I got to round 5, I started losing. I think that was due to my misplays rather than the deck.
Modern UAs are a legit fun deck. I know I'm taking the bait but I won't let anyone discredit my sporty boys.
EDIT: Cyrus' deck in Spirit Caller is the equivalent to Bianca in Johto. It's a really hard deck to beat when your best card in the starter deck is Megamorph.
God I need a list tho
Hell yeah, played them recently against my friend running Infinitrack/Trains (fairly unoptimized though, no Machina or Ancient Gear stuff and no generic staples aside from Ash).
There's a suprising amount of things you can shoulder through with just Perfect Ace, Libero Spiker and a Player Manager in hand.
Also funnily enough I actually started to play Playmaker again purely because you can't get over a Super Dora in defense position... casual ygo is still the most fun ygo.
My one big gripe with them is just that, despite the crossover support, combining them with F.A. really doesn't work.
@@DroppedMyMarbles MBT has one: czcams.com/video/SpkMPqTiSWE/video.html&pp=ygUVVS5BLiBvbmUgdGFrZSB0ZXN0aW5n Took it to Master Duel and it was actually quite fun.
5:30. Oh my god. Me too! I played Spirit Caller after rediscovering Yugioh. Those duels were tough, Syrus was actually stronger than the Sacred Beast duel for me. Mostly because I sucked as a duelist.
A couple weeks ago, I took a game from a playing Branded. We had both bricked on hand traps and his field consisted of Albaz and an 1800 guy. I beat him by tribute summoning Psy-Frame Driver and attacking.
I used to run what I called level 1 stall and draw, I went even in a ycs with it somehow using triple upstart (when it was legal), triple solemn wishes, piper draw engine, level limit area b and gravity bind, arcana force 0 the fool and aroma jar, battle fader, swift scarecrow and cyber valley, final countdown and then the spice of double localized tornado to never run out of cards
So I was at a random location nearly 10 years ago. Think of it like a party, but without the partying. In the middle of a game against this one dude, he flips Torrential Tribute (the fake one from the Ultra Rare Packs) and immediately pointed it out. He legitimately tried to tell me "No it's not. I got it from an Ultra Rare Pack!" so I went to borrow a friend's laptop that was there so I could look up the story of it and show it to him. After reading it (while playing a game against some kid), he immediately goes "Wellp, fuck this game. I quit. You guys can have my cards. I don't even care!" and he storms out of the room. We were so astonished that everyone was legitimately frozen as if time had stopped for a good 10+ seconds before someone comes into the room going "wtf just happened?" ... Afterwards, I went through all the cards and pulled out all the fakes, pocketed them while telling everyone I was going to burn them outside later, and let the rest of the people there have the rest. For anyone curious, the collection had nothing really desirable. The most-valuable non-fake card the guy owned was an ultra rare - Seven Tools of the Bandit from w/e the first set it came out in is called. I forgot the name. The rest were commons, rares, and a couple super rares.
I was playing Dino in a regional in late 2019 and got my shit rocked by an Amazon loop that let them keep attacking over black garden tokens and keep replacing them with new monsters.
So, I have one of these stories, but I'm the villain here. The Knightmares just came out and I recognize that they have arrows and can extralink. So, I play ABC Ojama Extralink. I went 3-1 at locals that week. Only loss was against True Draco. Turns out, when search Hurricane with Ojama Pajama and pitch your Ojamagic you go +3 and also cause tremendous Psychic damage.
Back when i had sacred beast structure deck as my only legit deck, i was playing with a friend that has a 40 card pile deck with garbage, like 20 goat staples (no pot of greed and degenerate stuff tho), monster reborn, mirror force, chaos sorcerer, stuff like that, and other stuff rank 4 enables such as goblinbergh and kagetokage I once lost to him, after i boosted my Raviel's attack to 8k, trying to swing for game, but earlier in that turn he removed my field spell, and i didn't have ways to stop its magic cylinder from resolving...
When speed duels started I managed to get a playset of sphere kuriboh so I made a relinquished/Skull servant deck which managed to take some games when I got lucky. It was able to steal my opponents stuff and then punch for game with the king.
there was that one time I watched some guy on Duelingbook get beaten down by a Performance of Sword of all cards
in 2022
Elemental Hero clayman has a clay body built-to-last
Losing to my older brother who haven't played yugioh in 10 years against a deck that consists of old yugioh cards I had ( like a blue eyes white dragon and mirror force old) against my synchron deck that was not full power and had duel devastating sychro monsters. Yeah I lose.
I lost to the one of morphing jar #2 in my opponent's prediction princess deck. Got rid of everything except my pep and I was short of having lethal. Slowly withered away after that as I had blown my decks engines comboing when I didn't need too.
Man I've got a laundry list of embarrassing losses
I bought 3 of the Geargia structure decks and mashed them together and asked my brother, who hasn't played Yugioh in 10 years up to this point, to help me playtest it. Turns out my Geargia deck has absolutely no way to climb over Gem Knight Pearl. Nothing.
Then there's the time I was playing a very meta (at the time) Chaos Dragons deck vs my friend who was new, he was running some Frankenstein'd build of Mermail Atlanteans. I laughed, until he dropped Abyssgunde and EQUIPPED THREE MIKAZUCHI ON IT ON TURN 1. The cherry on top was him flipping Anti Spell Fragrance on my draw step.
One of the video games, the computer summoned fucking Dark Sage on me and I just didn't have the manpower to beat it.
Yugioh has been such a wild ride throughout my years.
I had someone at a locals tell me that Volcanic Scattershot was errata'd to only burn when sent from hand to grave. This was mid Zexal, I think tail end of Wind-Ups.
Joseph in Flower Cardian TMT:
"... First, the pros:
1 - It's good, it's, like, really good [...];
2 - It matches extremely well against the current meta (summer of 2020, Eldlich, Numeron, Adamancipator, Infernoble Knight)"
etc.
Joseph now: "Flower Cardian sucks"
Don't get me wrong, I know that the deck is too topdeck reliant, but I still cannot believe that nobody at least tried to use it in competitive.
I started playing somewhat seriously during TOSS format, where:
- every Sky Striker card said "target" or "destroy";
- Salamangreat and Orcust were GY focused;
- Thunder Dragon prevented you to add except by drawing and, again, "destroy".
Flower Cardian has an Abyss Dweller on steroids, an untargettable and indestructable by effects burn boss monster with 3000 ATK (that grants protection to all Cardians) and a 5000 ATK S/T negate with an effect that doesn't start a chain that negates whatever she or other Cardians are battling (just to make sure that neither Avramax nor Borrelsword could do anything). At the time it didn't have the searcher yet, so it could only draw, something that Colossus allowed.
Next formats saw Eldlich, Drytron, Tri-Brigade, Numeron... all decks that are countered by Cardians.
And what about now? Tearlaments? Same.
And even if it didn't counter these decks, it still can go through handtraps (except Droll) with ease. As long as you can cheat out Cardians from the hand, you could even get Nibiru'd.
I Remember beating my friend's Glad beast deck at our locals....with Cloudians. Well, the Cloudians didn't really beat him, I D-prisoned his Laquari on his first attack and he just never came back from that. It was hilarious
Tried getting back into Master Duel with Ishizu Tear, mega-bricked, opponent summoned Blue-Eyes and flipped Summon Limit, tried to use a tribute set Shaddoll Beast to get into Kit, drew and discarded Reinoheart, summoned it back by pitching Haufenis, tried to make Kit but couldn't because the game had counted my Shaddoll Beast getting attacked as a flip summon.
One I will never forget? Kozmo Magician Pendulum back JUST before the end of Kozmo format. Dude pend summoned then got out 2-3 dark destroyer multiple games in a row against me. Told me "this is where Kozmo is going once it gets hit. I'm taking it to regionals" and shit but I wasn't convinced (and still aren't) that pendulum decks are ever better with a bunch of non pendulum monsters in the main deck. *cough cough* trif *cough cough*. Needless to say I never saw the dude play that deck again so he was wrong.
I went to a regional in the middle of full power spiral/triple electrumite format.
Lost to magnet warriors of all things. Dude drops imperion magnum on me by turn two both games, and what the fuck is Mermail suppose to do about a walking solemn judgment with 4000 atk?
I wasn't playing kaijus because I needed as many combo pieces as possible and there was just no room.
I still remember that i outplayed an icejade duelist due to simply unga bunga Apoqliphort towers and then realizes that they didnt have the link monster/ rank 10 higher out...or at least, they didnt drew it
In master duel synchro festival, I got FTKd by Makayashi mill, featuring soul-absorbing bone tower. Literally decked me out first turn.
My roommate and I have been privately playing our own spinoff of the progression series. We were in one of the gx sets and i was playing this really stupid king of the skull servants deck that was meant to get king really really big and kill you with double strike. Unfortunately, i bricked both games and my roommate was playing cybernetic cyclopean beat down. He unironically played pot of generosity to get it to 2400 attack and managed to win.
I fully admit I deserved to brick and lose to it but holy hell i will never forget that thing.
2:35 YES, I HAVE A VIVID MEMORY. In the 2010 World Championship game, one of the packs was locked behind beating a Cloudian player 5 times, and they used Sanctuary in the Sky. And my dumb idiot child brain couldn’t figure out what to put in my deck to out it.
In HAT format, I was one win away from possibly topping but probably bubbling using Berserk Dragon OTK.
Around 2006 there was guy at my locals running cyber dragon otk. I never could beat him. I even went to another locals and went 5-0 with gravekeepers only to lose to him in top cut
Reminds me of the times I played Phantasm Spiral beatdown with just a bunch of vanillas like Megalosmasher and somehow won too many games than I would've liked.
During DRuler/Proph/Merm era, I 2-1'd Plants with blackwings, I especially remember using Dark Eruption on topdeck to synchro 6 to win the rated match.
One game that will always be stuck in mind was a match I played at locas and this was around the time that I got back in got back in to yugioh in 2017 during zoodiac format, and during that last round I go up against this old guy who was probably in his 50s or 60s who was playing stun or as I call it you can't do anything and of course was playing odd-eyes pendulum magician and got 2-0 by him and to be honest it was a fun game not because I was getting stun left right and center but because that guy was cool
