I actually took your list to my locals (still used Prosperity and it worked out fine, but I get the reasoning for Desires). Went undefeated. Granted, one of those matches was a bye, but I still won 3 others. Thanks again, Mr. Kotton.

@@jessekottonygo that shit is garbage in marincess LOL

[@brikeri]

Great video! First match third game you had an easy out to SP without a draw (assuming no other handtraps) by going Sea Horse into Sea Angel, search field, summon Blue Tang from deck without effect (Assuming opponent doesnt waste SP on Sea Angel) and then going to battle phase to walk over SP with 1700 Blue Tang to play on mp2, so it wasn't all that doomed ^^

[@jessekottonygo]

This is such great insight, thanks so much for the tips!! 🙏🏽

assuming your opponent is bad is a terrible way to think

[@sandstorm7790]

@@airbomb24​​⁠He said assuming the opponent didn't *WASTE* S:P. Even if the opponent used S:P there you could've just gone into argonaut so nothing would've been lost.

[@coqvaillant7806]

1:19:20 You can't dump Battle Ocean off Blue Tang's effect. She only sends monsters. There were some other mistakes but the majority of them have already been reported in the other comments. Nice video tho, it was fun to see you pilot one of my favorite deck all time. I hope you will make other locals video like this!

[@eldinmemic9420]

i absoultely loved this video, especially because you talked about the lines you couldve taken after which shows you actually care about the deck you play! which is not that common i think since content creators just make content to have content lmao but i loved this video jesse, love from munich!

[@loadding3160]

This is so sick, Jesse. Thank you for this and def looking forward to seeing more of these. I really appreicate you taking the time to not just talk about whats happening in the games but also WHY you did what you did is great. Thank youuuu!

In the zealantis play if you used triangle in gy you are waterlocked 27:00

[@jessekottonygo]

Good catch! Appreciate you 🙏🏽

[@Eli1Dont1Lie]

[@jessekottonygo]

Bruh how did I not catch that 😂😂😂

[@airbomb24]

you have no idea how many times ive done that lmao

[@RiceForceOne]

I know you don't play crystal heart, but fun fact zealantis summoned with crystal heart is immune as well with the field spell!

[@jessekottonygo]

That’s actually really cool synergy, appreciate you putting me on!

[@yugido]

So excited for the new trickstar (marincess) support. Get into toad by summon 5 more consistently, to stop this decks only real killer, Nib. I play the deck a little different and have gone 4-0 at locals a few times. I dont play any pot or mining. I run 3x Icejade Ran Aegirine, 2x sea nettle, and 3 of each good marincess (2x mandarin), 2x dive, 1x Field, 1x wave, and 17 hand traps. Aegirine can either go for the lvl 10 icejade synch(which is great against destruction/banish heavy decks) or anemone which can summon back the marincess you ditched for effect, without using your normal. Ive found i can play through significantly more interruption now, and im not dependent on the normal summon to start as often.

[@nofonex9395]

36:40 he could chain mikailis to banish veiler just to triger martha to xyz summon and then make kaspitel :)

[@jamesbrowne421]

Absolutely loved this video, hope we get much more of this! Was great to see the live gameplay with your commentary and thoughts - I watch a lot of competitive content and my brain is fried from the amount of snake-eyes vids I've seen over the past month so getting to see a budget deck piloted by a great player is such a refreshing change of pace, please do more 🙏

[@ginganu1234]

Jesse this might be an odd request but do you think you could do a guide on your side deck thinking process and card/meta evaluation when siding? i find myself always stumped when trying to make a decent side deck and evaluating which sideboard cards are good for what strategies and what to side out.

[@jessekottonygo]

I’d say a general rule is try not to Side out engine and always look to swap out defensive cards or cards that aren’t going to help you playing into a board if going second but I’ll definitely try to make a video further explaining it soon!

[@Bird1912]

So one misplay Jesse. Coral triangle isn't an on summon eff where as battle ocean is so you can't chain block there only like blue slug/sea angel if you had already gotten the field spell

[@jessekottonygo]

This is a good catch, thanks for letting me know !

[@xshippaix]

Dude I have no interrest in Marincess at all, but your commentary was peak content and I watched the whole video, keep up the awesome work! I would love to see you playing other decks with the same kind of commentary. :D

[@jessekottonygo]

I appreciate the feedback so much and people like you are the reasons I push this content out so I’ll definitely be playing different decks with commentary coming soon! 🙏🏽

[@ninjadandy9166]

Round 2 you should definitely kill with spring girl. You had a chance to mill a pasc or blue tang which would great extend the play. Either bahamut toad or something else.

[@Solus_Fenryr]

This needs to be a series. Can't wait for the next one.

[@jessekottonygo]

We’ll definitely make this a series and take all types of different decks to locals!

[@brasil2907]

In round 2 leading off the turn with coral triangle locked you into waters, it says you cannot special summon monsters the turn you activate either of this card’s effects except water monsters, so zealantis should have wiped the board

[@jessekottonygo]

This is a good catch, I appreciate you helping me learn the interactions!

[@KENfrmNY]

Not sure if anyone else said but round 2 game 1 Coral Triangle activation in the graveyard locks you into water monsters the turn u activate so the zealantis should’ve banished the board. Not sure of the exo players hand and if that mattered at all but yea they shouldn’t have been able to keep those monsters on the board

[@HiRow369]

It was great listening to your thinking process this gave me a better insight on how reacting to certain situations. Keep at it champ

[@seddyx8994]

Please more of this if you can Jesse this is very helpful by us visual learners can get better and make the competition more difficult we all want this game to grow also in time the quality will get better glad you started doing this.

[@Karmitify]

As a Marincess player appreciate the representation! And can confirm Splash pretty good in those awkward scenarios, sometimes getting to GBR and hope for a dream is good enough

[@luckytitan6118]

Very insightful video, have been considering picking up the deck and getting such an in depth video is definitely swaying me

[@lukegavel3135]

Would you consider doing a more through deep dive/post mortem on the deck list in a dedicated video? Love this type of content, can't wait to see more, maybe even budget version of meta decks too could be cool

[@dingodyno9016]

I think without the mistakes you made that others have pointed out, you probably could have gone farther with the deck, were all human, the more you play it the more you will know it inside and out, but it still shows how it can stand up on its on two feet VS the fire meta right now, hope to see you play this deck more often and improve upon it and take it to locals again, loved hearing the play by play. Thanks so much for this, i hope we get more Water decks as well. Whats the music in the background btw?

[@luxinfang1851]

Pascalus can only summon monsters in defense position.

[@TheFPSCameron]

The splash mage line vs exo you were talking about would prevent you from summoning Zeal due to cyberse lock ❤

[@jessekottonygo]

This is a good point, appreciate the insight 🙏🏽

[@jamesonnguyen1124]

Amazing content!! Learned so much even though I don’t play much Marincess

[@ShadowSpartin]

4:48 you can’t chain block since the effect is ignition and not on summon.

[@ryu3196]

You can chain link 1 anemone and chain link 2 battle ocean to chain block, this has always been a thing in marincess

[@oli1213]

Did you put in the abyss Dweller in your deckprofile afterwards? Because you summoned Kragen at some point

[@EddfaceOfficial]

How is the Battle Ocean chainblocking the Triangle search? I thought Battle Ocean's equip effect activated on the link monster hittnig the field and then Triangle would be activated afterwards?

[@RyanSmith-po4xn]

Thank you for sharing. great to see Marincess get some play by one of the greats

[@fgtcg8078]

Did you think about adding Thrust and Talents into the main deck? Since it is a handtrap format you could play 2 desires take out the mining and play 1 of each TTT

[@jessekottonygo]

Definitely something to consider! If you ever try it out, let me know how it worked for you 🙏🏽

[@enzoxentral5523]

Just a heads up pascalus on sum ef can only sum Marincess monster in DEFENSE position, even though it didn't change anything, it's something for new Marincess players to be aware of. Overall great video :D

[@jessekottonygo]

What a good catch! Still a noob when it comes it the deck but appreciate you all helping me improve my knowledge so thanks🙏🏽

[@MrAlops]

Wasn't stealth kragen a good option on the first match against voiceless as it disables their protection cause they turn to water on the field?

[@frankvillas2317]

This is wonderfully interesting and informative competative commentary thank you so much for giving back to the community like this.

[@jensmeyer4542]

Pascalus has to special in defense btw. Doesn't matter most of the time, but you went in for damage with a specialed blue tang once, so I thought I might tell you.

[@ChaosDY]

As a marincess* player, I appreciate this

[@zukusenryu]

Ofc we like this. Keep making videos like this. You should dip into old formats too :)

[@overmess6606]

I dont see it in the comments but 1:20:49 you can't Argonaut negate in your turn, sadly the negate it's only in your opponents turn for some reason

[@JG-si9qt]

Bad ass video tbh would of liked for you to keep going with this deck or give a “based on what I learned here is how this deck should be built” or so but awesome content

[@jessekottonygo]

Yooo this is awesome feedback and a dope suggestion! I’ll try to incorporate more of that in the future videos so thanks for looking out! 🙏🏽

[@JG-si9qt]

@@jessekottonygo of course!! I know other KZbinrs stick to a deck for like a month and then they give like an insight on what they learned which is cool but might get boring for people if they don’t want to see the deck for that long but maybe a 2 week period where you try the deck out with initial built, then go to locals try it, then modify it then try again then final observations, then move on to another deck you want to try or so. But yeah glad my suggestion helped! Keep it going with the content

[@kappamaster7179]

with crystal heart there are some lines that can play around nibiru which aren't all that good but still worth an ED slot as an option imo.

[@bladeknight_4748]

[@13EqualsB]

Why no Called by the grave?

[@Rawrfa11]

Against your Round 2 (Exosister), when you went Zealantis and mentioned that you never locked yourself into water, you actually did with Coral Triangle as using EITHER effect will lock you. So, he would have lost his monsters.

[@minnayuan2591]

Not going to comment much about your play since I'm not too familiar with Marincess, but I will comment on the Voiceless player. They misplayed in all 3 games. Could have easily won game 2 if they sequenced plays better. But in game 3, so there's a few things I noticed. So firstly, it's very unlikely they had pre-prep in hand for turn 1, otherwise they'd have used it. That means they most likely top decked it. That would mean their hand would have been Diviner, Lo, Saffira, Imperm, and an unknown. Why didn't they Saffira eff first to check for Ash, Belle, Crow, and Droll? It would make sense for you to Belle their Saffira eff. No problem, now they can NS Diviner and use eff to send Arc Light to grab Skull Guardian, since they'll still be able to Ritual Summon as long as you don't have a Bystial/Crow/Meister. (And who'd run Meister this format, let's be real). This basically forces you to make a read about whether or not it's worth Ogreing Diviner. If you Ogre Diviner, it cuts them off from a body completely. However if you ogre them there, and they have Lo in hand, well yeah that's a bad feeling. But either way whether you Ogre Diviner, or hold it for Barrier, it wouldn't have mattered since Skull Guardian would have hit the field anyways, and thus preventing Ogre from being used effectively. Even if you hold Ogre to pop Skull Guardian on your turn after they attempt to negate Lightning Storm, they still would have Imperm and the Trap, along with guaranteed followup, so not something that you would have been able to play around with your hand from what I noticed. Also while it's very possible they don't play SP, if they did have SP, game 3 also would have went differently.

[@ouijaboy6664]

So it can’t beat voiceless? 😪

[@poro9084]

it is Marinsus time! i really like marincess - after i finally started playing yugioh MD, i picked up birds and madolche, and then when marincess got her argonaut i picked them up, love them, only deck i actually rolled for some royals cards - i like their effects, like their style, like the cards - it essentialy taught me how to link climb and how links works i play personally prosperity..bcs my luck sucks:D and also feels like prosperity is better bait then desires for MD players god i miss toad..., there was also time when we ran agerine engine, but lot of people on sus discord went back to classic setup

[@clintoncross5274]

[@Harrowing999]

First match against Exo was good to watch. Game 3 he could have hard punished your Veiler by chaining Mikailis to banish it from GY while Martha was on the field. Martha would’ve been able to rank up on its own and get to Magnifica

[@Azuruki]

Pretty sure you can't chain block with the field spell as it triggers on summon and the link three that gets the wave is an ignition effect.
