Where's ocg PePe vs Adamancipator? Also I feel like for a video of this nature where you're essentially seeing how Adamancipator stacks against some of the strongest decks of all time having two rounds where both starts would help show how much of a die roll the match-up is. Though I can understand if that would make the video too long.

[@magneto1992]

The electrumite messed up, could have made dweller + poison + trap which would have been game even through dark ruler no more. Dragon Ruler didn’t hit rejuvenation (mind you they don’t always see) and a few other mistakes here and there I have played most of the decks here including adamancipator. Adamancipator isn’t really that strong compared to Pendulum, Spyral Full Power or even full power Thunder Dragon. The problem is that Niburu and Dark Ruler No more destroy the more powerful decks. Like Even with the mediocre board electrumite pendulum made (holy crap was it bad) they would have still won without the dark ruler no more. The same reason why am pretty sure a 2020 deck is going to win this year cross banlist. Is not that the “decks” are better. It really is the side deck options, which in this case, Adamancipator just happened to main.

[@LunaDachi]

Cameron No based on their strength relative to their time, unordered: Adamancipator, Danger! Dark World FTK, Teledad, Dark Matter Rulers, Pepe. HM to zoo because it really only shined through its different variants which were... to combat itself. Can’t just say Zoo since they were all pretty different. Based on if they were to exist with their key cards at full power and with the modern card pool, swap Pepe and tele dad with Gouki and if you haven’t guessed it already: Sky Striker

[@domafox]

it would of been interesting if you did one match with Judgement Spellbooks to see what would of happened in that match up, but overall the Rock deck has earned its spot as one of the most broken of all time.

[@Kirin_the_Bouncing_Unicorn]

So this is it right? This is like the perfect deck. This is like the final final end boss of Yugioh. This deck just auto-wins 90% of the time going first AND second. This deck just really doesn't give a fuck about anything. Going first it'll set up an unbreakable "come at me bro"-board like we've seen every meta deck do for the past 5 years but it's probably the first of its kind that's just as good at breaking boards and swinging for the OTK going second. What utter madness is this?

[@KarelTheKaiser]

i'll just give my 5 cents on this. This whole game is madness. I myself play Mekk-Invoked and i run into these kinda situations lots of times; but not as consistently of course. Nowadays, if a deck can go first with easy engines, you can outright smash 15 cards for going second in and now everyone has a big problem. I run 19 disrruption cards out of a 41 card deck, they just dont need as many though, becuse the engine is busted, with the random supports and extenders that yugioh has unwillingly created for years. Point here is, other decks can outright fk you up and tell you a big fat NO, regardless of DRNM. Good old Calamities ( which is a 2 card combo in mekk-invoked ), doesnt give a crap about it either. DRNM+Evenly mached kills any board unless they got judgement. This next month's banlist will adress this bs.

Its seems like the duels was fix...you opponents purposely negates wrong monsters... @5:53 , its cool to ash just when you have appolusa but not before it summoned.. @7:24 why he veilered the doki2 when clearly needlefiber or linkross was the right choice..

[@zubabbie472]

😂 😂 😂 It's actually ridiculous how this deck didn't come close to losing once. I think the blowout nibiru and dank rulers helped doe

[@johnstegeman7122]

The deck should have lost to Gouki, if the player had been smart he would’ve saved the tri gate negate and banish for dragite since that was the only extra deck out to his board.

[@jestersol7100]

@@johnstegeman7122 This. Not even Sword would have outed the board. Saving it to the non-trageting, non-destruction mass removal was OBVIOUS.

[@darklaw7635]

No Pepe?

Meanwhile Ryan yu breaks the board no diff with just striker cards

[@B.27y]

But trif pendulum is tier 0 forever

[@Farrapoable]

you should be put true draco full power in this challenger

[@freakyfishguy1692]

Honestly think the only things that could have stopped this were full power monarchs, Qli or spellbooks. Simply because going first domain lock, vanities or jowgen.

Block dragon bout to hang out with the D Rulers.

Love your videos

[@julian354]

Some of the old school decks have real power, but watching chaos vs adamancipator vs chaos was a joke

[@MonarchVV]

Man the Gouki player should've won. Trigate should've saved its negate on something way more threatening

[@SpainLord]

I thought I heard "healthyfibrax" and now i cant unhear it

[@J43Pr0t0]

I hate to say it but take away halqifibrax, auroradon, and linkross and then tell me how good adamancipator really is? The deck is unquestionably good. Being able to flood the field with high-powered omni-negates that can spin your opp cards away is great, but with access to the cards listed above it just makes it crazy consistent. Don't expect this craziness to last forever though.

[@KeertikaAndFallenTree]

Adamatia is probably the only reason one could take to go back to MR4. I was not in YGO long enough to have a good judgment of what could be the best but... even though I've seen the craziness of Pepe, I would say it's AT LEAST on the same level.

[@arjanzweers6542]

Adamancipator is superior to PePe, heck I'd say that a lot of decks from 2017 and onwards at full power are better than PePe. Full power Zoo, SPYRAL, Dark Warrior Gumblar extra link, Sky Striker, Orcust, Thunder Guardragon, Endymion, all of these can easily compete with PePe due to powercreep. But keep in mind that what breaks Adamancipator are cards outside of it's archetype, Block Dragon and Halqifibrax being the main culprits. Without those 2 the ceiling of the deck would be significantly lower.

any comment on cross banlist cup is a good discussion.. tks to lithium..

[@hyoroemongaming569]

I got an idea but it conflict with CBC duratiob. A tournament of power consisting of 4 semi finalist of previous 8 CBC. if there duplicate entrants you can make preliminary using 5th places to fill the slot If not you we need someone in audience who can pliot TONS of these decks really well.
