Breaking Thunder Dragon Colossus... with Crystal Beasts

[@Kaikyou519]

The S:P proxy got me a good laugh 😂

[@vitoralcantara1320]

wow, dreadguy, you, neshy and Jesse playing Crystal beasts. Finally the crystal fam cooking

[@shirow0again423]

Wow, thanks for the video, I tried it and well, I think I prefer my cute kaiju lock and my synchros but ig it helps when my hand sucks

[@Some._.Random._.Person]

1:34 it’s not just random flames, there’s a humanoid shape in the flames, like the fire is clothes or something

[@VanillaScoopYGO]

Always so entertaining to listen to

[@joeyadams5222]

You could use the springans engine to help get 4 summons on the field and use the 2 level 4 into banshee bringing out Protos or Thunder colossus in the process having Bow of the goddess on the field with 3 negates

[@MarkThePage]

That is a strong play! But I prefer going into Saryuja Skull Dread to lead into stronger plays. Between Worldsea Dragon Zealantis here and The Golden Swordsoul in my other deck, I can't stand to make Apollousa without a way to protect her from attacks!

A Hashira once said “THOSE WERE SOME FLASHY MOVES!”

[@ARandomNerdyGuy]

I GOT MENTIONED! Also the IFB to colossus/protoss works really well in ritual beast.

[@MarkThePage]

Sorry for the surprise! And sorry to hear that you play Ritual Beasts.

[@ARandomNerdyGuy]

@@MarkThePage What did ritual beasts do to you?!

[@neyrhu]

11:50 thats a transition if i ever saw one

[@charliecruz5640]

this was epic.

[@looxx1z]

Heyhey, may i ask what that awsome playmat is? :) Great stuff as always! Crystal based

[@MarkThePage]

You can find foil mats on eBay.

Hey! I just came back to ygo from a 13 year break haha and am working on building a pure crystal beast overdrive combo without the nemeses or synchron cards sadly. I have almost the entire extra deck and am trying to incorporate 2x ancient city and 2x beacon cause they just feel good to use lol. I am running a 40 card deck and was wondering what you would advise to use instead of 2x ash blossom in the deck cause it doesnt feel great to draw her while comboing.

[@MarkThePage]

You got away, but you came back!? If Ash Blossom feels underwhelming as disruption, you could also try Forbidden Droplet.

[@harrisonzeiler620]

How do you feel about including hope harbinger number 38, since nemesis flag and corridor recycles the banished crystal beast rainbow dragon so it can be summed out with golden rule

[@MarkThePage]

A combo with Rainbow -> Nemeses -> Golden Ruby + 2 Rainbows could get wrecked by Primal. A control strategy might rather play it safe, and a combo strategy would go farther with Saryuja. With careful planning ahead, a combo strategy without Ruins could summon 2 Rainbows after Cross-Sheep, ending on a rank 8 counter + Worldsea and 2400 ATK Apollousa (and Colossus). If you have space in the extra deck for that.

[@ナサス砂のキュレーター]

What card can be replace Apollosa if she got banned?

[@MarkThePage]

For combo plays, the closest options are Revolution Synchron -> Crystal Wing or Arc Light; Knightmare Gryphon; or Kyotou Waterfront -> Gameciel summoned to your field by Saryuja.

[@CDolph296]

Have you looked at combining these ideas with SP to get Flag banished while having a *different* monster to shuffle back with Corridor? Because then Corridor can add back Flag to the hand for an Eschatos or whatever next turn.

[@MarkThePage]

It's certainly possible to summon S:P after Overdragon & Sheep! This would be a cool move for when Rainbow Ruins isn't an option, when summoning S:P would be optimal anyway. Otherwise, accessing the Extra Deck after that step costs negation and there probably won't be a next turn anyway. Sounds like a good idea for Advanced Crystal Beast fans!

[@CDolph296]

​@@MarkThePage do you know of any extra deck monsters that revive monsters then have them banished when they leave the field? This seems like the kind of thing that should exist but be potentially useful here (Eschatos or not)

[@MarkThePage]

After some quick searches, astoundingly, there are no such options. S:P and Haggard Lizardose appear to be the only generic ways to banish on command.

[@CDolph296]

@@MarkThePage rip. It's a bad idea, but power tool -> living fossil is a thing that exists

[@GatsbyCioffi]

Which small package do you prefer? The Nemeses/Colossus package, or the Kyotou Waterfront/Gamaciel package? Is it possible to pack both, since the Gamaciel package is only 2 cards? Though I suppose the Gamaciel package would conflict with Ruins.

[@MarkThePage]

I don't see why you couldn't run these alongside Gameciel. I only tried the Kaiju stuff once, but even if it'd turn out more optimal than Ruins, I love Ruins too much to let go.

[@aetherwolf9288]

Does Markthepage by any chance have a DC?

[@MarkThePage]

I'm not hip enough to know what you mean by that.

[@suchlux377]

Can you pleeeeeeeeease do a complete deck profile (not in master Duels) for TCG plsssssss

[@MarkThePage]

I don't want to present my strategies as if I have them solved. I've seen how conversations are shut down after an authoritative player has shown a deck list (even a rough draft), how people will judge a deck as bad because they copied a list without understanding how to use it. If you understand the cards I use, then you are already able to build a deck that's almost identical to mine, but with techs and ratios that match your personal style. And if you're not yet skilled enough to figure out your own list, then the ratios won't matter anyway. My videos show the whole thought process behind these strategies, so that you can add your own ideas to them. Just believe in your abilities and use whatever cards you enjoy.

[@ciccio7557]

btw you took out the tray with the wrong hand

[@smashflame2136]

hate it. disgusting direction to take the deck in lmao. actually this is great. morally correct sp activation
