[@dudebladeX]

I'm pushing for Fluffals. But yeah. The Hungry Burger deck is undoubtedly going to win.

[@fluffdafire157]

Your god damn right

[@DeepCDiva]

Honestly i was disappointed that the deck doesnt even use it that much, but considering the deck is REALLY bad, im looking forward to how it will do in the ladder.

[@StrangeSynergy]

@@DeepCDiva I’m not saying it’s good but its gimmick is different. it’s like a worse Rikka tributing your opponents attack pos to summon your rituals and only reason I beat it in the ritual even is vendread have infinite recursion when they leave the field lol

[@erndaman8641]

That Gamaciel Ninja Turtle bit tore my sides. Fun times... fun times....

[@Ragnarok540]

We criticize Konami a lot, but releasing Ninjas as a structure deck, right when people are playing Kashtira is a big win from them. They can play in the opponent's turn and punish people shotgunning Maxx C in the draw phase. People probably underestimate them because is a structure deck, but this and the Salamangreat one are very competent.

Jeez. That duel vs Dragon Link was the epitome of: - “I activate this card!” => “Then I activate this card!” ==> “Well, I activate this card!” ===> “So I’ll activate this card!” Just a constant back-and-forth.

[@italianradio6148]

On rewatch I'm really impressed by how much you evolve the deck and improve your plays. Your gameplay at the beginning of the video is far and away different from the end. Your goals for what is mostly the same deck change significantly and I just think that's neat.

[@Lexadin]

I think I personally like the coins more then the gems up there. It's more interesting that way imo. Also I just want to mention that I feel that both the editing and the Joe as an entertainer have both grown a lot over this series. As for the deck itself, it seems like a pretty cool non-linear control deck. The fact it doesn't just uses generic floodgates to exert control really makes it more amusing to watch aswel. Looking forward to see what Scareclaw can do, if it has some variety or if it's doomed to do the same thing over and over again.

[@italianradio6148]

This is easily your best work Joe. I love the chapter titles as well. I still haven't played YuGiOh, but I've been watching long enough that it makes sense now 😅

[@redroC171]

I would LOVE to see a Hardleg MD Masochist series

[@Maestro..]

The "Wackiest Cards" video he did before this one is pretty much that. I saw so many cards ripped straight from Cimo's deck lol

[@ZenRai001]

Liking to cast my vote

[@Just_Jules_333]

Good news!

[@munchrai6396]

45:41 this was hilarious, love just how good the new editor is with these bits. You'd think that it wouldn't show the animation if it didn't banish, but I guess not lol

[@TheDocperian]

43:48 it's half a frame of a joke but I nearly spit out my water, thank you editor

[@matax3323]

I really liked the fade to access code talker over firewall dragon, and then for it to stay as access code on the smaller version of the card was a nice cherry on top.

[@LordCrota]

I've been using ninjas lately and they're just so much fun especially when I pull out number 2

[@phelgmingphelgming6608]

Thank you, Mr. Hardle G. Gaming, for another excellent video! This is the third archetype you've effectively convinced me to try out just by playing (the other two are Crystron and Ghoti; I guess I like playing on opponents' turns)!

[@HardlegGaming]

It's so fun!

[@xCorvus7x]

I feel that making most of your plays on your opponent's turn isn't as egregious as building an omni-negate board. It's a bit like going second, what you do depends a lot on your opponent's actual plays instead of just what handtraps they happened to open. The plays of you and your opponent are more intertwined and don't happen as much in a vacuum.

[@No_Plays_Hand_Empty]

It's funny, I feel like Kash existing has removed the one ounce of skill that went in to MAxx C - knowing when to time it to guarantee the most draws. Now you just shotgun it in draw phase and hope for the best, and then your opponent is on Lab anyway and just Thrusts for EEV so yknow, great gameplay. Loved the video, love ninjas! Even if I do open Jioh like 80% of my games...

[@munchrai6396]

I'm glad I'm not the only one whose a little disappointed that a 3hr video barely scratched the surface of what Ninjas can do. It's without a doubt, one of the most synergistic decks I've ever seen, right up there with the likes of Generaider. Got a ton of success with a Vanquish Soul build for maximum tag out shenanigans.

[@TheOnlyPersona]

What other synergy would you recommend? And how does it link with VS?

[@FrostReave]

Ninja’s wasn’t even on my Radar but boy am I sold now. I’m definitely trying this out

[@janjan-xr2qi]

A friend of mine convinced me to try and play ninjas last month. The deck is really fun, but I unfortunately posses an unnatural ability to draw Jioh going first

[@SaltymanGaming]

Same...but you need to run a 40 card deck so you actually see Hanzo.

[@GM-gp7lg]

just play notebook t1 notebook Jioh for Notebook Of Mystery t2 when opp plays a card NOM for Jioh and Dupli Dupli Jioh for 4 enjoy full combo

[@edima]

this was such a fun ladder climb to catch live. it awesome seeing you progressively get more creative with the ninja interruptions and combos against all the crazy meta decks. havent seen you enjoy a deck so much since ghotis

[@otterfire4712]

Been playing Ninja since I've seen Joshua Schmidt's test list after the most recent list dropped. MD's precon deck is one of the best value decks for quick builds. Being able to get just about everything is excellent.

[@tommysuter4053]

Ok this episode makes me kind of want to build a Ninja deck now. Also it was a missed opportunity to not have the fake leg show up instead of the log in the intro. Still another good episode.

[@METAS0MA]

Pretty poetic that Joe picks up the ninja deck and had to face off against the legendary ninja Julio Uchiha at 35:39

[@Slingyman3]

[@Degnique]

I always have a good time watching these journeys! You never miss, Joe.

[@CoralPallet]

This one a really fun ladder climb! Ninjas were fun, so much so that I gave them a try on ladder and they were great! Format sucked but I had fun! And strangely enough contrary to Hardleg here I bested more Labrynths than Kashtiras for some strange reason :p Anyway great job, and BanMaxxC

[@darthdonkulous1810]

One of my fave decks! Been looking forward to you possibly doing this exact video, Joe!

[@TeaIngyer]

When you talk about playing jank around 5 minutes in, I remember the days of jank like Bored To Deck. One of the things that makes me sad about the move to master duel is that there's now an actual, financial cost to play jank, since all URs in Master Duel basically cost the same. It's really frustrating because you could be paying 100+ dollars to farm all the jank you need, when the physical deck minus staples would be like 25 bucks. I'm liking the newer stuff though. Given the circumstances, you adapted, and keep making great stuff. PS: I'm feeling *HYPE* for that upcoming Scareclaw video, since I can't catch streams often.

[@TeaIngyer]

Oh also, your December deck should be Bored To Deck 2023

[@dhesh0066]

I could tell that you really enjoyed learning this deck and I enjoyed watching it. Keep it up Hard Leg!

[@Charley-ju6yg]

Definitely prefer the heads and tails amount to be shown, as long as the gems spend are made clear at the end and occassionally during the episode. It's a really fun statistic that shows how going first or second can affect the strategy

[@SophieApparently]

Big fan of the coin flip stats, it’s super interesting! And uh, will probably be more interesting with a deck that rolls over and does less when it goes second 😅

[@CrowQQ]

Well, looks like that dude in duel 63 was playing *puts on sunglasses* Spwrong

[@bored4033]

I think "hold the line" is basically how easily cards in a pack can keep monsters on the feild. Weather it means various effects that keep them from being destroyed/ banished/bounced, or if a deck can *immediately* summon monsters if the ones on the feild were destroyed

[@themerchant9711]

Ive only watched 2 of his ladder climbing episodes but let me tell you, the fact that in his intro he wasn't wearing a Hawaiian shirt blew me away

He could have OTKd in duel 10 without cross sheep. He totally had the hand to do it at 36:48. Normal summon hanzo to get iron digger. Use reinforcement of army to get cannon ninja. Discard tobari to SS Canon, which will then SS tobari from grave. SS mitsu using her own eff. Thats Canon, Hanzo, Tobari, and Mitsu on the field. XYZ summon blade armor using cannon and hanzo. Fusion Meizen using mitsu and tobari. Give Meizen iron digger. Use Blade armor's eff to make Meizen able to atk twice. Then finish them off with Blade. 8200 damage. Game.

I fined it hilarious that green ninja is literally just Lloyd from Ninjago, even the artwork looks like him

[@metalmariomega]

Ninjas have so many options, even if you don't include all the bad ones that have come out over the years. Like this stream mainly focused on the new stuff so it didn't go into the possibilities that Super Transfomation provides(things like a small Dragon Ninja package and Bystials, since that one searches for certain types rather than archetypal stuff). My one gripe with it is just how annoying it is to get hit by The Blos. In a format where that's "not good enough" this deck can do really well, but Maxx "C", Branded and Labrynth will ensure that's not going to be an easy format to see so you'll always have to shove in some cards to deal with the thing that can cut its consistency down.

[@TheOnlyPersona]

Can you expand at all on the dragon ninja and bystial stuff? Trying to see how interesting ninjas get but everyone plays it mostly the same

[@Squidtoken]

Just a few minutes in but I'm commenting to say that master duel masochist genuinely seems like a format tailor made for you. Back in the what a deck days I remember being continually surprised by the random ass cards you'd include to support whatever gimmick you were on. Knowing that all those cards even existed is something in and of itself, but beyond that you'd see the potential in them when most duelists would write them off as trash. I know the content you make these days is different but you'll always be the goofy jank guy to me, and I'd love to see what youd put together in a masochist challenge. The world needs more good duelists playing bad decks!

[@Kurinth]

I would love to see something next year every 3 months or so where you maybe do a revisited series with the decks you really enjoyed or saw a lot of potential in, where you play a deck youve played before but now armed with the knowledge that you gained over the year and see how you do now, I can see that being really cool with runick ghoti or ninjas or something else

[@TMGSeanVODs]

With Vanquish Soul cards being in Master Duel now, I hope we get to see those soon!

[@HardlegGaming]

I plan to make a Let's Build if nothing else.

[@10tails]

My vote is totally for Trap Monsters. Those decks seem so fun

[@ren4951]

I'm screaming at the fact that you drew the OTK god hand so many times and didnt do the combo. I've been wanting to do it for so long but rarely get the opportunity.

[@YumeBoi]

[@johan3116]

You didn't try the cross-sheep borrelsword otk during the whole thing? that's sad

[@HardlegGaming]

I did it a couple times during the run, but it was always against people who bricked, or in situations where I had already won. And I never got hype enough during the combo to make it worth watching despite that.

[@michaelzaccardo1010]

I think the "hold the line" rating might be for comeback potential. How good the card/s are at recovering after the field got wiped.

[@qwertystop]

When you put in Hop Ear Squadron I got to wondering whether Ret-Time Reviver Emit-Ter would be any good. It doesn't get you a quick sync on the opponent's turn, but it does get you a tuner and a flip-down.

[@esbenrnnegreen1082]

To be fair Terahertz isn't just a OTK machine, it's also a S/T negate.

[@yurei3714]

The peasants were on top this time (because ninjas were basically peasants and farmers)

[@SaltymanGaming]

I almost liked Ninjas but dropping them because I kept drawing Jioh every game. It's a shame because the rest of the new support is so well designed but drawing Jioh is like an automatic loss. No idea why they made their most important card a garnet. They really need a good spell that can shuffle ninjas back from hand to search or special summmon Hanzo.. Jioh should have just had that effect included to begin with.

[@metalmariomega]

I've found Kagero and Tobari can be good ways to get Jioh out of the hand(whether by summoning it or using it as Fusion fodder), but I don't like playing more than 1 Jioh because of how bricky it can be. You always want to play 3 Tobari because that one's potential with Duplication, but Kagero can vary between 1-3 based on personal preference. I like 2 of that one because of its aformentioned value in unbricking hands, but it can't special others of itself so you don't want to brick on a pair or even trio of them if you can avoid it.

[@FakeHeroFang]

​@@metalmariomegaThe downside with 1 Jioh is that even if you're less likely to draw it, when you do draw your 1 copy, you can no longer use Jioh as disruption unless they literally have no other way to deal with it besides attacking. Kagero and Scroll summons facedown only, and the cards that summon face up only summon Ninjas from the deck.

[@SaltymanGaming]

Summoning it off Tobari can be nice if your going 2nd but I'd much rather use the extra summon on something else, and you would need to just hard draw Duplication if you summon Kagero and set Jioh or they can't actually do anything. Either way Jioh is not only a dead card in hand but drawing it shuts off your best form of interaction by summoning it on your opponents turn. The ratios for the ninjas don't really matter outside of 3 Tobari and 3 Hanzo, you just really need to draw Hanzo instead of Jioh or it doesn't work.. Hopefully they get a few more consistency tools in the future. It sucks because you kind of need to run 2 just in case but then your likely to have a dead card in hand.. and I've still drawn both of them a few times. The master duel shuffler doesn't seem to work something.

Yes, I think a masochist is lots of fun. I did one masochist* (on my main account, keeping the cards I got using Gage technology aka prints). Lots of fun weird sht. Like when I goddess revenged this guy for 8 and still lost. Or when I shut generaiders completely down, with a Tearlament MST, and they proceeded to brick for 4 turns. Or when a salad player after drawing 5 was confused 'why Access no destroy timelord' and shame scooped, I was honestly about to scoop, he had an entire board (which i had no hope of outing) and threw it away to make accesscode.
