So my info on Valiant Smashers was a bit off, specifically in terms of Memento due to YGOProDeck’s info on the pack completely omitting most of Memento’s TCG info. This resulted in not only non-updated text on their displayed cards, but also me missing that the strategy had 3 Ultra Rares in the set, not 0. Apologies for the misinformation.
What’s the soundtrack you use when you explain fire kings?
This was such a weird year. Starting off with Tear Zero and ending with “PLAY A FIRE DECK PLAY A FIRE DECK PLAY A FIRE DECK”
It was also the year that I bought my first physical product since getting into the game with Master Duel, purchasing three Fire King SDs to play with.
2023 YGO will always be memorable to me, the year that I took competitive YGO seriously, and I even attended 2 Regional events, which I have never competed on a level higher than Locals/OTS Store prior to that.
Good for you, fellow duelist
I also started playing competitive this year, and now look forwards to next year as well!
Same here! Started back in the late summer/fall and had my first two regionals in October/November and had a great time! 5-3 at first and 4-3-1 at second!
@@evanferrell7779 first regionals 5-3-0 (8 rounds)
second regionals 4-4-1 (9 rounds)
Nice! Keep at it!
The past two years of YuGiOh, in spite of Tear 0 and Kashtira, has been some of the most fun I've experienced as someone who started playing during the first Covid year. The new design philosophy of the cards is fantastic and while I don't like how expensive staples are, I'm still having incredible amounts of fun on sims with the newer cards from this period. It's been wonderful to experience
Ive played since 2013 but didnt start competitive till 2020 as well and yeah while some of the formats have sucked I’ve had a great time getting better and making more and more decks. The staple reprints this year were excellent and made the game much more affordable besides a few cards like Thrust, Diabellstar, and S:P. I was able to attend way more events than in the past and made great memories with friends.
What’s the new design philosophy?
Started YGO back in February after not playing since 2015-2016. It was definitely a lot to take in but it’s been fun so far. Missed playing with friends
Not having to r&d a new summoning method every other year has really helped with the game design. 2023 was a fantastic year and was one of the most fun i’ve had playing YGO. Here’s to another 25 years of yugioh! 🎉🎉🎉
2023 was a memorable year to be sure and, true to konami's word, became THE year of everything Fire related, despite the underwhelming set that Soulburning Vocano was. Also, shoutout to the new banlist that came 5 days ago which couldn't be on the video with how it came out of nowhere and will literally shook up the meta coming into 2024.
Even since your 2022 recap, I’ve been looking forward to the 2023 one! Thank you!!
Thank you for making these videos. I don't pay attention to the meta in depth these days, so to see summaries and reminders of what transpired over the past year, is very entertaining.
youre quickly becoming one of my favorites. the recaps of the older years got me hooked! shout out to the michigan TCG as well!
Some of the best contemporary historical analysis of the competitive side of Yu-Gi-Oh! in this video as well as your other history videos! Always look forward to these and learning more in-depth about the meta-game developments and reflections!
This has been some of the best yugioh ive ever played in the past three years. This is saying a lot for me because ive been playing since 2007.
Always love your recap videos.
I'm hoping the xyz era and beyond recaps have cool thumbnails like this one. the old ones were pretty good, but this is a work of art. thank you Nutuk for your hard work.
Cant wait to come back for the 2024 recap
The amount of work & effort you put into these videos deserves way more than your current sub count. Another fantastic video bro. Can’t wait to see what 2024 brings you. Cheers mate
Awesome recap ! These long story types of content are great to sit and relax and enjoy
New sub! This video was absolutely amazing and helped me to catch up on the second half of the year 2023 where I fell off. Thank you!
Cool recap video! I really enjoyed watching it
Ive played since 2013 but didnt start competitive till 2020 as well and yeah while some of the formats have sucked I’ve had a great time getting better and making more and more decks. The staple reprints this year were excellent and made the game much more affordable besides a few cards like Thrust, Diabellstar, and S:P. I was able to attend way more events than in the past and made great memories with friends.
Overall loved it and I’m so glad Salad got new support!
Been a wild year. Went from playing exclusively earth machine to picking up my first tier 1 deck and getting my first nawcq invite. I'll never forget this year.
I always love these looks back on the year
Edit: To make this a drinking game, take a shot every time you hear "taking the event on Kashtira" or some variation of it
What a banger video. Love it so much
Was really looking for this
I know the guy who topped with sky striker at 250th LA. unfortunately i haven’t seen him since the YCS
The new Labyrinth pieces may not have been meta, but they are fun, and it's nice to finally see Gate Guardian get a proper Fusion retrain with an appropriately beefy effect.
(also old yugioh video games had the Illusion type because it was a thing in the manga - Pegasus used several monsters of the type, most notably Illusionist Faceless Mage)
2023 is my splash back into yugioh after a long hiatus. Jumping back in playing Rikka Sylvan Therion, as sylvan was what I played last. Surprisingly after a lot of tweaking the deck feels really good and dodged the banlist hits by only playing 1 dryas just to get a plant into grave through link 1. Got my first local win, and while not topping, hitting top 100/450 at a regional still learning the format the game as a whole again felt really good.
I never thought I needed to see a cute Arise-Heart toasting at the end of the year, but here we are.
I love your work keep up the amazing work
Love these great vid keep it up
Easily my favorite types of ygo videos, great job
2023 was the year i started considering and understanding that i was capable of playing at a higher level and played super hard and grinded with one strategy and have gotten rewarded with it handsomely, a memorable year for sure. The beginning of the year started rough for me but once march came around i started thinking more competitively, and the later end of the year was a wonderful experience for me despite the start and despite many not enjoying some of the formats
Ah, Amazing Defenders, the birth of my favorite deck. #RACEWar
This was a great year for me: as a fire king and ancient gear player it makes me so happy that they got new support (especially ancient gear)
AG just need the hound fusions and fusion spells from arc v.
This is fun!
Great video, I am a huge fan of the series! The memes are also insanely good, the Spright Blue while presenting Mannadium Trisukta appearance made me genuinely laugh!
If I may, here are the mistakes I found, for eventual confused viewers and for future improvement (of, let me state it again, an already MASSIVELY high quality video):
- Mementotlan did not have 0 ultras but 3, the total amount of ultras in the f***in' deck building sets are 10, 5 to Centur-Ion, 2 to Vaalmonica and 3 to Mementotlan. Therefore, the imbalance of Ultra distribution was less marked than in the disastrous Valiant Smashers
- S:P is not a RANK 2 monster lol
- For some reason you convinced yourself that Gerunix Eternity and the new Sacred Garunix and Avatar Kirin are rank and level 7 respectively, while they are 8s
- Sometimes you show on screen the cards translated in prerelease, that have different names. This was particularly evident when you treated Mementotlan, because you mentioned continuously "Combined Creation" (their ass boss monster) and in most of the cards you showed it was called "Netherskull Dragon", which was its YGOorganization name before the official release. It is a slight detail, irrelevant for who knows, but might confuse some less experienced viewers.
This video being almost TWICE as long as the 2022 Recap shows just how wild the power creep was in 2023.
Hope this game slows down soon.
It was just a way more diverse year
I'd say the game even slowed down significantly after the diablosis ban which meant no more 5 zone lock, and after pure shs was killed
Unchained, purrely, lab, bystial dlink etc are probably weaker than basically most, if not all 2021-22 tier 1 decks

Great video 😊
I now know about the rarity collection and understand why when the second one was announced why it mattered so much. I wish I'd known it came out cause I would have definitely dropped money on it.
2023 was hectic particularly in the 2nd half of the year with perhaps the one of if not the most diverse line up of tiered decks seen.
Also obligatory Hello from youtube to Josh when he reacts to this on stream.
thanks for the ealry chrismas gift happy holidays to all
This is exactly what I needed right now
2023 YGO was a banger. Despite how degen it was, full power kash was so fun to play. The pendulum support and synchro support from AGOV and DUNE respectively was also great. Tons of great staples, and in a post kashtira world I love playing diabellestar. Hopefully 2024 will be even better.
And of course… one. more. piece.
Amazing video
As someone getting back into the game right after rarity collection dropped I see this as an absolute win
I came back to playing this game 2 weeks before DUNE, but holy shit what a year this was
Let’s goooooooo
Ty for making more Joshua content
Honestly, I don't have anything to say about the game. I just want to say: what an amazing coverage you do with these recaps. Keep them coming!
Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes can still be your bag. I got wrecked by both TODAY.
cyberstorm access also intoduced us to time-tearing morganite which not only works extremely well in decks like runick. but from what i've researched, has the potential to make chain/stall burn a bit more consistant.
Thank you for you
I will say Ariseheart legal in kashtira was the most cookie cutter example of a gate keeper deck in yugioh history. The over centralizing card that is kashtira ariseheart made it so so many decks with even a hint of reliability on the graveyard just could not exist in a competitive state against it. Once ariseheart got banned, the format opened up due to the gate keeper card ariseheart being gone and strategies like unchained, infernoble, and nerfed tearalments were able to rise to prominence
Unchained wasn't really affected by Kash, in fact the deck thrived in the format. So much Kash hate didn't affect Unchained at all, which is why Unchained won 2 ycs events mid Kash format.
We need a time format name for post Sept 2023 banlist ASAP due to its diversity of decks!!!
2023 was the year i came back to comp yugioh after quitting back in perfect circle format
started with salamangreats and ended on P.U.N.K gold pride
i also started playing time wizard edison and the last regional i went to i won the side event and the LADD mat
chaos angel actually banishes on special summon not just synchro, its more broken than that lol
I love how the original Z-Arc set had Ash Blossom and the new Z-Arc set has once again game changing cards. Though I dion't like how the core strategies of Age of Overlord didn't even include Z-Arc T.T
banger video incoming
you know what would be a great idea for a video? Top 10 Cards of 2023! that one channel that used to do it no longer plays paper yugioh so there's a demand for that kind of video from someone who has local/regional tournament experience
Definitely an interesting year for me. I enjoyed Tear format because it was incredibly skill intensive, especially because I didn’t have Tear at the time. But I did manage to pick up the core when everything was cheap, and then the banlist dropped three days later. I HATED Kashtira format and genuinely did not enjoy the game, so I took most of the summer off until Nexus dropped and the new Chimera and Illusion cards came out. I’ve been playing that deck since it came out and I LOVE it and it reignited my love for the game
Literally every impact screen, I really had no clue what the impact was
2023 was so good, the only bad thing is that they didn't inban electrumite.
TEARLEMENTS STRONGEST!!
Amazing video and excellent taste using LoL's soundtrack
2023 was a Great YGO year imo. It had really fun formats and my beloved Deck Salamamgreat got support. I went the first time in my life 4:0 and found good friends. THANKS Yugioh
Finally
Skydive Scorcher is already a card and TBF, It's meant to be the name of Flame Wingman's attack in the dub (that's rarely used)
It makes more sense with it's Japanese name:Elemental HERO Flame Wingman-Flame Shoot which Judai said everytime Flame Wingman Attacked
Knowing the bar minimum about modern Yugioh, and having my video running in the background, you can imagine how much mental whiplash I had when Law namedropped "Visas". Or, what I'd imagined they'd said, 'Vsauce".
Take a shot everytime he says Little Knight 🤣
Very based video. Appreciate all the work u put in
on sp i tested with exdioa for the hell of it and sp plus firwall can help get exdioa to hands
Forgot that Visas' lore archetypes were born here.. with kashtira and tearlaments proof that Konami is not able to think with more than half a braincell when balancing a game
Awesome video but I can def tell kashtira hurt you because you called the fire king monsters “level 7’s” 😂
I’m surprised no mention of the remote duel ycs in June that was won by exosister
Dear Lil' Knight my beloved.
Babe wake up, TheLawYGO uploaded another Yugioh recap
I haven't chimed in the channel for quite some time but i want to ask was the Duel links's History series cancelled?
2023 is the year I was required to leave the game for 2nd time due to the insane increase in price to continue being competitive since joining in 2012. It’s so sad how most people who have little money they should be spending on cardboard somehow don’t see a problem with SP Little Knight and Sinful Spoils being over 100$ and both being heavily incentivized to purchase if you want to stay competitive.
#MakingYugiohGreatAgain 🐧
No way you mentioned Leblanc by name but not HERO player 🔥💀🔥
You forgot the Link-3 that Traptrix also got.
Pog
“Rimfire- *snrk”*
I started playing when the card game first came out in the US, but started losing interest around the time of Synchro monsters were introduced and dropped out entirely around the time of Pendulum summons.
I started paying attention again this year. The modern game is almost unrecognizable as the game I played years ago. I don't think I'm going to pick it back up again, but I'm having fun watching from a distance.
Would totally play a retro format, though.
Question: What's the difference between a Core Set and a Deckbuilding Set? I understand all the other release types, but not sure what separates these two.
Core set is every 3-4 months with 1-2 new archetypes and new support cards; generally 100 cards for Tcg since 20 of them are Tcg exclusive cards, archetypes and OCG imports and 80 for OCG. Deck building sets are 3 new archetypes to enter the game and has 60 cards per set. Core sets has common, super, ultra, secret and currently rn QSCR. Deck building sets has Rare, super, ultra, collectors rare, and currently QSCR.
Im glad you can pronounce qebehsenuef. What a name
Mannnn i just want purrely in a single player game 😢we're overdue
What’s the difference between a core set and a deck building set?
Is a deck building set just a smaller set that’s more focused on a few archetypes, where as a core set is more broad?
A Core Set is a 100 card set that features a ton of new cards, including support for older archetypes, new archetypes, and new generic cards.
A Deck Building Set is a 60 card set that is centered around 3 new archetypes, with all the non-archetype cards being old cards that synergize with one of the new archetypes.
so many nice looking links and pendulums that i can't use for regionals because links and pendulums are banned :(
Umm... regionals cannot have links and pends banned... what? An official konami event has to follow the official konami banlist...
@@e-tan3911 it's not an official konami tournament It's a regional tournament hosted by 2 firms with some additional funding from fans with post XYZ mechanics banned an their own ban list. It's a small gathering of around 50 people and a small winning pool 5k€ for 1st. 3k for 2nd and 1k for third. It's not much but its still fun to hang around and play a few matches. And if you get to top 3 you get some nice cash for cards till next years tournament.
AGOV format was insanely fun. So much vareity going in and it felt like anything could perfeom well. I played Branded Chimera at a Regional and did surprisingly well for myself vompared to previous attempts.
55:10 did i hear ash blosh-shom?
2 hour video. let go
Cant help but notice that most Links are read as Rank
there is a difference between link and rank. singularity is a link 6, not rank 6 for example
josh sent me here
To bad the new ban list wasn't put in but it's was still a awesome video
Banlist takes effect 2024. It’s not a 2023 change technically.
Arise heart is the only starlight that is banned.
Gravekeepers inscription is a downgraded version of Silent Grevyard which Silent Grevyard is 1st a quick effect 2nd without dmg you most of the time
I didn't understand like half of the video, i just like looking at the pretty monsters
Song list?
