[@ertawanderer1062]

Indeed, The only time that pot of greed will not be good is if they make better cards and they become standard. Every single deck in the entire game would run it at max . Maybe a few whose engine is too big to fit It wouldn't but that is the only exception

[10:55] For those who are still confused as to how the hell this is supposed to work: It's a linear equation in the form of (Y = M*X + B). B is the number of cards your opponent controls, M is the level of the chosen monster, Y is the number of cards in your graveyard, and X is the number you declared. If you activate this card and declare an "X" such that (Y = M*X + B) _is a true statement,_ you're greatly rewarded for it. If you did your math wrong, you lose Life Points. This is absolutely one of my favorite "joke cards" in all of Yu-Gi-Oh's history, because of just how absurd the premise is.

[@RavenCloak13]

Oh thank you.

There’s no argument you can have that makes not getting free cards viable. Every other pot is limited or banned in someway in every format. One without any negatives will be in every deck hands down.

[@trancepeirce3107]

@@Ricozaza It's very easy to argue from a qualifying position against definitive statements like 'every deck' or 'any downsides' and 'no argument'. I just need one single example and your statements become false. For one deck example, even without mentioning some gimmick archetype, there are no banlist tournaments where half the decklists and usually the winner will not include pot in favor of more handtraps. Tear cards for example go for above +2 anyway so you'd rather mill one of those. So I can argue that pot wouldnt be in atleast one deck. That's one of your statements that's false. For downsides or negatives, understand that pot needs to be played on your turn in order to draw a handtrap. If you go second, pot is a temperory dead card. A downside over live handtraps. More so if your opponent setup a spell negate. So that's one argument, downside, and negative, so those statements have become false. For pots being banned, other cards like change of heart have been unbanned. So cards being banned does not conclude that a card will be in 'every' deck if unbanned. The limited pots aren't in every deck, so that's not part of the logic either. In fact many bans is to stop specific archetypes from becoming too strong. Sky Striker would benefit alot from multiple cycling pots and jars. Maxx C for example is not banned in all formats despite benefiting 'most' decks. So that's another statement proven false. Your final conclusion built on earlier false statement is therefore also false.

Playing it alongside other spells would be awkward for the possibility of drawing said other spells off it, but the option is certainly nice - and as you point out, drawing exactly 1 unplayable spell after activating Egotism essentially makes Egotism into Upstart, which isn't horrible. SL has its GY effect, Egotism has no Trap lock. Those are the main benifits of the cards. They simply belong in different decks - monster pile for SL, traps with Egotism (and you can arguably pair it with some spells). I would not call either better than the other, because the one that sees more play would always be cardpool/metagame dependant. That said, I do see the argument for calling Egotism better in a vacuum.

Yugioh is such a weirdly designed game that once you've seen a decent amount of cards you realise that literally anything could be real. Crazy OP effect? possible. HORRIBLE effect? possible. Art style seems super weird? Possible. Super inconsistent literally everything? Possible. Yugioh is one of the most insane games from a design pov. It's genuinely funny.

[@Fabboi_unl]

Props to Whoever designed "Negotiating with the "C"" was 100% sure this would be real, based on the artwork alone

[@breadeater1194]

Mischief of the Time Goddess is in the category of "OG anime card that was so ridiculous it took them 15 years to figure out how to put it in the IRL game"

[@user-iz7nu4wk3h]

They didn't fk up "Insect". Types are capitalized, attributes are all caps.

[@ivenstorm]

If I remember correctly, there were cards that could turn enemy monsters into insects, which is why Aerosol was a used card.

[@burningfox4974]

It was also an early era generic wipe card. Where stuff like field spells that boost one Attribute, and every single Monster Type had a field wipe. Like the Witch’s Strike or that one fiend one.

Town twister sounds like a really fun tech card. Especially if you can target S/T anywhere on the field and then be able to destroy a monster on the other side in the same column. Though there are ofc better options that do sth similar

[@therranolleo468]

Would've been a nice tech options against Mekknights

[@IamGrimalkin]

I actually think it wasn't printed specifically because there aren't better options. The card hard powercreeps MST. MST has been soft powercrept already, but there are still arguments for playing it that would be removed by this card.

[@randalledwards529]

Fun fact about weather report. It actually broke the game at one point because it was the first card printed that gave you two battle phases in a turn. This is the reason why every card that has battle phase effects has to denote whether or not you can use its effect in each battle phase of your turn.

[@Rodzario]

Good thing he didn't gave you the Musician King fusion card. Cause that card's fusion material is so bizarre bro

[@masansr]

Castle of Dark Illusions is one of the OG cards. I remember when you could use a Catapult Turtle to launch a monster at it's levitation ring to make it fall, but not before your own Swords of Revealing Light expired. Of course, they couldn't print all those cool interactions on the cards, you just had to know they worked like that. Edit: "Town Twister"'s [Spell Card] tag was misaligned, otherwise it would probably be a real card.

[@orangegalen]

They did that with Phantom Hand too, so it’s not a good measure. I saw that with Town Twister, then Phantom Hand and I literally threw my hands up in frustration.

[@hi-i-am-atan]

i think that's just a bug with the card maker. all of the backrow cards with a type, including the real ones, have that same issue the real tell with town twister, though, is how its text falls apart as soon as you target a card in a column with two or more monsters

[@xXMGVXx]

@@hi-i-am-atan In my box with weather report, the castle and the aerosol are definitely no misprints. Would love to mention that some cards missed the monster in monster card in their German translation. Just minor oversights that did not affect gameplay in any shape or form I assure you (I mean what difference could it make if you counted only monsters or all cards in a GY)

[@TopPigg]

The speed dual bug spray gimmick, was you used a card/ability to turn all if your opponents monsters into insects. So instead of hoping they ran the type, you forced it so this because a board wipe

I was afraid he would stop making yugioh content altogether after the master duel stream. Happy to see he is still doing it. I dont watch ramranch because im not interested in hearthstone content, but every yugioh video of his is a banger and a must watch for me. Stevie and him are a great duo.

[@Ricozaza]

Expect Stevie doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Example is his pot of greed statement.

[@XLuxtra]

Actually? Pot of Egotism would be busted. Its not a worse version of Sekkas Light per se. Its missin some lot points 1. You can use Spellcards prior to the activation (and have dem in GY) You can just drop this at the end and Draw 2. 2. You can still use Spell effects under this card. Sekkas light prevents activation and effects of Spell cards I think this card would be absolutely nuts. Maybe not in Skystriker but yea

[@skeletonwar4445]

Yeah Pot of Egotism would absolutely see play. A lot of decks only need their spells turn 1 to combo and then don't really care about them.

[@Marco-xv1et]

He is like "they fucked up eradicating aerosol" and doesn't realise that barrier statues are based on attributes and they are always caps ☠️

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

A theoretical "Barrier Statue of the Creator" would be the most insane card ever

[@draconicepic4124]

Let's be honest: Linear Equation Cannon is a meme card. I doubt anyone at Konami ever expected some one to actually play it.

[@olvynchuru1663]

I suspected Negotiating with the "C" was fake since it didn't capitalize "special summon". Same goes for Barrier Statue of the Creator.

[@burningfox4974]

I knew barrier statue was fake only because the Divine attribute and Divine Beast monster type are only reserved for the “God” cards and only I think like 10 monsters have the “Divine” attribute

[@IXxJordan]

10:45 - Closest card I can think of to Town Twister is Infinite Impermanence: Instead of Destroying, it negates the column if it fully resolves and it targets the monster first instead of the spell/trap.

[@cyberdoga5728]

Fun fact about Castle of Dark Illusions that throws a lot of people off, even though the effects are wildly different it was theorized that Castle of Dark Illusions printed form unintentionally (or rather illogically) got the effect for Pumpkin, King of Ghosts which was released in the same pack irl and in the same part of the anime. There are many possible reasons for this including the idea that they did not know how to translate Castle of Dark Illusions effect into something coherent. But this example is especially strange because the characters that played both cards are not related by any other means.

[@guthinkiller2]

The fact that neither of them noticed that the quick-play spell icon is half over the words Spell Card and Rarran says "This is the most realistic card you have shown me" Is pure chaos and I love it.

[@-DeScruff]

The cards were remade via the fake yugioh card maker to give fake cards a fair chance of looking real.

[@bb7344]

I really like that Negotiating with the "C" has the inspect cursor in the middle of the art and Rarran still guessed it as real then again, with all the Yugioh cards I saw in these videos, I wouldn't be surprised if that was not a 100% disqualifying factor

[@juliamedina3322]

It was honestly pretty easy to tell if a card was real or not simply by listening to how he talked about the cards.

[@i_eat_denim_4_breakfast199]

Find someone that actually knows the game like how type and atribute are not the same and also Bonfire (the card at 9:00 is just straight up not real) because listening to this yugioh "expert" is physically painful.

[@KryllYGO]

I agree that Stevie is among the worst yugioh content creators to do these videos with, though I should say that Bonfire is a real card, though it only has an OCG print, as of this year.

I feel like this would have been way harder for rarran before he played yugioh and lost any semblance of belief in Konamis design ability.

[@purpleth3199]

I swear, Rarran's interactions with yugioh, so far, were a trifecta of bad experiences. First, you have Stevie, who put the idea of "if it doesn't say win the game, it's not a good card" into Rarran's head, which is objectively wrong. The cards that Stevie brings to Rarran to guess, have been getting worse in terms of choice. Not to mention that, when Rarran has an actual question, Stevie is like "ignore that" or "don't worry about it" instead of actually answering the question. Then he played Master Duel, which is one of the worst things that Konami ever released and shows how badly they chose their priorities as a company. And finally was the "debate" with Farfa, in which Farfa seemingly tried to have a conversation for half of the time, only to starts being toxic and clowning on Rarran for the second half...

[@BoxWizard]

Idk if id say Master Duel is bad buuuuuuuuuuut it is bad at teaching new players which IS bad. If it had a half-way decent tutorial it would be great.

[@purpleth3199]

@@BoxWizard the good thing that Master Duel did is it made easier to know what effects your opponent is using (because it highlights them) and maybe it made it easier to follow the board state. But other than that: it's the same outdated tutorial; a solo mode with gimmicky and bad decks, with stories that are there just to be there; there is no match duels, only single duels; because of that, it made a completely new format that encourages burn strategies... I could go on about the many things I hate about Master Duel, but I am going to finish with: Since they planned to release it on every platform, they should've made it for new players and people who have never seen the game, not making it so it would be easier for current active players who already understand the game.
