[@Treblebeatgames]

One kind of video id love to see is a yugioh story time true or false, because there are some WILD things that happened in yugioh history. Like the 2000 card deck, tokyo dome riots, the shower clause. Tell them a story, and ask them if it actually happened or not. A similar thing with magic would be fun, like the dude that got banned for taking pictures of ass cracks.

[@lunaristhomsen6941]

fun fact: yugioh didn't originate as a card game. it originated as a manga about a kid being possessed by the spirit of a pharaoh punishing people in gambling games to the death. in the original yugi vs kaiba game. they were parodying... MTG! blue eyes white dragon is literally a Shivan Dragon stand in! The thing is though, people were hyped for a trading card game based on the one in the manga so much that the entire thing pivoted to their own spinoff solely about card games, and went through multiple iterations of card layouts and rulesets before settling on the ones we see today.

[@venerable_nelson]

Watching season one and season two makes it even more obvious how little the actual card game was flushed out in the anime. So many made up rules in season one. Season two is when they came up with the idea of tributing to summon stronger monsters. In season one, Yugi fuses a monster and spell card in his duel against Kaiba. A monster and spell card!

[@8Kazuja8]

@@venerable_nelson I think I heard someone describe everything up to and including Duelist Kingdom as basically Dungeons & Dragons except as a card game, with the duel platform as a DM. There are some vague rules but as long as you can justify bs you make up as something that makes sense in-universe, it's fair game. Battle City onwards is the actual game taking shape, though the shows always ended up adding some wacky stuff for drama that just wasn't feasible to do in the context of the actual game. Perhaps most notably, the Egyptian God Cards wouldn't be introduced to the game proper until like a decade later, and I heavily suspect the Sacred Beasts introduced in GX were basically retrains to make them reasonable for real-life play.

More fun facts: In the original Japanese manga, the card game isn't called "Duel Monsters," it's actually called "Magic & Wizards." Referring to MTG and Wizards of the Coast. "Duel Monsters" was exclusive to the anime.

I give him a pass on the Blue Eyes pricing because I don't think Cimooo gave him an accurate assessment of which version they were buying. A lightly played card goes for a whole lot less than a near mint or mint condition card. If he was assuming a near mint Blue Eyes, especially if he's thinking graded, then 3k is a conservative guess for something like that.

[@geminimaxxim]

CGB made a good point about Dustshoot, but I think rebutting it is actually very easy. Yes, reading an opponent - their body language, sequencing, resource management, etc. - is important and skillful. Dustshoot, as a card, bypasses that skill. You no longer need to read your opponent, because you simply know.

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

... you're missing the point being made. At a basic level, hand knowledge *doesn't* actually give you information. Not really. Often times, it's that much easier to trick the opponent who does have hand knowledge, because they're too confident. Like you said, they think they know. Which makes it easy to exploit. Your rebuttal just doesn't work, because that's literally the point being made. Only someone bad at the game benefits from it, and someone good at the game can then turn that benefit into a negative for them anyway. The actual rebuttal is kinda what Cimo was getting at. Yugioh games are much shorter. Getting a snapshot of the opponent's hand at one time during the game means more when that snapshot represents a larger portion of the game. Hand knowledge would be strong in Magic too if it lasted the rest of the game. Another key aspect that gets overlooked is, Yugioh doesn't really like letting its players draw cards. Yes, it's full of searchers that grab other searchers than grab other searchers, but those all require you to show your opponent that card. So effectively, the player with hand knowledge is maintaining that knowledge. There's no real opportunity to obtain information that is hidden from the player who used the Dustshoot. That makes all the difference in the world. In magic, if my opponent casts Thoughtseize on turn 1, they're only going to see at most half of the cards I'll play this game. Turn 1 Dustshoot can genuinely mean they see 100% of all the cards you could play for the entire game.

[@JohnDoe-oc4rk]

But the idea is that the skillful player, who can glean information from body language, sequencing, and resource management, won't benefit very much from the hand knowledge because they will have already deduced most of it.

[@syrelian]

I think its also relevant that most of the other hand rip effects got a rules shift that stopped you from handpeeking with them, so Dustshoot or Aqua Dolphin are like, exceptional in giving real hand knowledge, which affects their effect potency

[@syrelian]

@@JohnDoe-oc4rk The way YGO works, most of that information hasn't been put into play by the time the knowledge matters, this isn't MtG and people really need to stop thinking that resource sequencing works the same way

While I don't think it would cater to the same audience as his previous podcast did, I think the two of you have incredible chemistry, and I, for one, would LOVE to see these videos become either a semi-regular podcast, or an extended series of videos on each channel. I could listen to literal hours and hours of the two of you discuss the two games, how they're different, how you both feel as you learn countless new things, swapping old stories from when you were both competitive players or in the "good ole days" of your respective games, etc. Idk how long this collaboration will last, and I would have never seen it coming, but I couldn't be more strapped in to see what else you both have for us in the future. ...and I get the feeling I'm not alone in that sentiment.

[@alchemicpink2392]

I love that CGB not only figured out that Change of Heart is removal but also had an immediate existential crisis about it! Edit: If CGB does read these comments, think of Dustshoot specifically not as a Thoughtseize but as a "Destroy up to 2 lands of different colors". Normal Summoned monsters are like a land drop and lacking resource systems outside the cards themselves makes moving a monster to a more difficult to access zone than the graveyard and hand knowledge each as powerful as getting rid of a land, severely damaging their play curve.

Hand Knowledge is also insane compared to Magic coz of the abundance of handtraps which is something a Magic player hasn't seen how it works in YGO. This guy is good at this.

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

There's also the fact that most of the time, cards that add more cards to the hand require you to show your opponent that card. So the hand knowledge ends up applying to a significantly larger portion of the game than even the turn count suggests. Hand knowledge would be a much bigger deal in Magic too if it effectively lasted the rest of the game.

[@Metallicity]

Yugioh players really over focus on "hand knowledge" when talking about these cards. Yes, it is insanely good to be able to play around your opponent's hand perfectly. But you know what else is good? Taking the best card *out* of your opponent's hand so you don't even have to play around it to begin with, and also means you aren't forced to play a four card hand against their five card hand. Plus, by the same argument that hand knowledge is more impactful than in Magic due to the game ending more quickly, hand ripping is more impactful since players start with fewer cards. The fact that even a random hand rip is still among the best effects in the game, while cards that just let you look at the opponent's hand (but don't really do anything else) are garbage should at least tell you something about how each part of the effect might be valued.

[@MajesticSundew]

To be fair, instant-speed cards are even more common in Magic than handtraps are in Yugioh. That said, one of the big differences (as CGB mentions) is that almost all of them are going to cost mana, meaning it's a lot easier to deduce what instants you might need to play around simply by looking at what mana your opponent has chosen to leave open (though of course that does open up the possibility of bluffing).

[@alxhades6231]

@@MajesticSundew So whats the % of instant speed cards on average. Its common to see 15-20 out of 40 cards being handtraps in a YGO deck nowadays. And if you could explain how they interact on opponents turn that would be great, haven't played at all.

[@Sutobuto]

?? No it's not, everyone's over-exaggerating hand knowledge effects so much just because of Talents. What's good about Talents is REMOVING the hand card you want, not because you can check their hand. So what if you know what handtraps your opponent has? If all you have is a starter there is no way you are even playing through that. Okay I only have Snash and I know they have Imperm, ok then what? You pass empty? Knowledge or without knowledge they are playing that Imperm no matter what. Even then you SHOULD be playing and baiting through certain handtraps on your combos regardless that hand knowledge did not matter at all. The only good thing about hand knowledge effects are that YOU wont lose to their combo lines that bait interruptions, i.e. if you see that the only thing your opp has is Diabellstar you can safely Imperm her without worrying about them going normal Ash. Hand knowledge as a SKILL is where the good shit lies. Keeping track of searches is already something that you should be doing if you arent a dogshit player. You dont track HANDTRAPS with hand knowledge, you track ENGINE PIECES and assume everything else is a handtrap, then as you play thru your combo you slowly single out which handtrap they might have and which one they dont.

[@justinalicea1590]

I think something that was missed was how the activation clause works: the opponent just needs to have 4 or more cards in their hand for Trap Dustshoot to go off. It doesn't need them to draw a card, it doesn't need them to get a hand of 4 or more, they just need to have 4 or more cards in their hand at the time you want to activate this card. So because Yu-Gi-Oh's starting hand is 5 cards, Trap Dustshoot already is live. So Set it, it becomes playable after you pass turn, and now your opponent has 6 cards after their Draw Phase. So unless they can play a card in their Draw Phase that allows them to discard 2 other cards for a total of 3, Trap Dustshoot can be activated and rip a Monster Card out of the hand, which can be any Handtrap that would counter a different card, any Starter card that the opponent needed to get going, or an Extender that would make them able to keep their plays going. AND you get knowledge of what other cards they have and thus what else they would be going for. Because when cards are the only resource of the game unless they have an extra cost in their text, you do not get an idea of what is being played until it happens. Whereas Magic has turns of set up with cards that give specific mana to allow certain cards to work, thus giving away the color deck, then what mana is being used gives away the strategy.

[@FalseHerald]

I mean, I don't think it's that relevant to the evaluation. From a magic player's perspective, there's a one mana card that gives you perfect hand knowledge all game... and it's really bad, just flat out unplayable. It's even one of those cards people will laugh at themselves for thinking it was good when they started playing, because it's just so obviously useless.

[@blud890]

[@theelectricant98]

CRIMINAL THUMBNAIL! In all seriousness, been loving these CGB collabs as an mtg player with a cursory interest in yugioh

[@SoupServerdCold]

I want to see you guys try a best of 3 in each game. Have the community pick a good deck for each person.

[@Ringularity]

Loved the part 1 soo much that I jumped to this video as soon I finished it.

[@steeveedragoon]

You know what, sometime when you're doing a stream, you should have twitch chat vote on cards to show him and Rarran. I'm sure that nothing could possibly go wrong with that. To be fair, it'd probably end up being a mix of actually good cards like Evenly Matched and random BS like Tindangle Intruder and The Great Noodle Inversion.

[@jmurray1110]

And sone obligatory meme cards like pot of greed and nirvana high paladin

[@repyukJC]

These videos have absolutely captured me so hard. I haven't played a card game in an eternity, then I saw Rarran showing cards to CGB. Next I saw Rarran showing cards to you, then CGB and Voxy. Now, I've watched as many of Rarran's videos of this format (rating cards from another game, I especially like "bad, good, banned" or things like that) Now, I've watched as many of yours as well as CGB's videos of this format as I can... and it almost sickens me that there aren't more episodes of this stuff. Every one of you between Rarran CGB Voxy and yourself could upload one of these every single day and I would literally never get tired of it. Thank you for sticking to this format, I hope you don't stop

[@ragenaros4475]

Are you planning to show him some modern cards in future? Would be fun so see him react to Modern Ygo card types

[@grin_of_grimmsnarl1333]

As a migrator from CGB (Magic being my main TCG) these crossover videos are dope, and all you guys got a sub from me!

[@Kaylersick]

if you want to know how strong nostalgia bait blue-eyes white dragon is, just remember the first set in the west was called "The Legend of Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

[@leafy470]

Very glad to see more collabs with CGB!! Also, CGB's intuition at guessing card prices were insane!!

[@minasparker1421]

i love how he was like "little CGB in 2002" like dude im pretty sure CBG was a grown man by that point

[@moalboris239]

I think he is like 38 to 40. So he'd be like 13 to 16 in 2002. Which isn't super far off.

[@davidpjorkl8851]

[@kylescott9529]

If I had to describe Seto Kaiba (at least in the duel monsters anime) as anything, it would be an anti hero. In fact, I’d argue he’s a poster child for an anti hero. He lacks the typical traits of someone you root for. He’s an asshole. He’s selfish. He stands for things we typically don’t root for: rugged individualism, money, power, “by any means necessary”. But he isn’t completely evil. He performs malicious acts but it is presented as small scale compared to the rest of the show. He often finds himself aligned with Yugi & co. even if it is reluctantly. And there are things in his life and moments throughout the series where he understands that he has to do something either for the greater good or to protect someone else. Especially Mokuba, who manages to humanize him and make you root for Kaiba when he isn’t dueling Yugi or Joey. Since he isn’t presented as a normal hero, he can do “good guy” things with his own “flair” allowing the audience to be entertained (like when he roasts someone he’s dueling). Honestly, he’s like Prince Zuko from Avatar but without the needed redemption arc. However in Season 0, Duel Monsters S1E1, and the Pyramid of Light movie (kinda) he’s presented as an actual antagonist.

[@MrMarnel]

Funnily enough he's almost identical to Liliana who CGB mentions in the video as his waifu card of choice. All of Kaiba's personality traits are expressed by Black in Magic and he's a Spike who was a black card in Unstable.

[@hugomendoza5665]

reminds me of vegeta a bit too. anime protagonists always seem to have that anti hero partner/rival

[@YukiFubuki.]

i mean kaiba was suppose to originally be a one off villain meaning redeeming traits werent necessary so it makes sense that he was just an antigonist like any other in season zero

[@kylepinpin3037]

Screw the redemption! He has money

[@syrelian]

Seto also has certain keen edged morals that hold him up, like his distaste of the war economy and weapons, and general disdain for being bound by traditions or superstition

[@DecayedPony]

The price reveal of the last card was so wholesome.

[@mawillix2018]

MFG (or as you called him "CGB") is definitely my favorite.

[@AD_Saffa_HD]

[@borislibaque1558]

Its wild how close he got to these numbers just by tugging at strings and logic looping experience. That's incredible. Also, cgb if you read this. You should totally watch the rest of season 1. The main villian actually can read minds and see cards in your hand!

[@Hambloyger]

[@task_failer8223]

CIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHOW THIS MAN MODERN CARDS, AND MY LIFE IS YOUUUURS!

[@mattevans1643]

Listening to his whole explanation on Blue-Eyes... oh boy someone needs to show him all the blue eyes cards. There are literally like 15 cards that specifically summon this thing for no reason, make it invincible for the turn or forever... and a bunch of alternate versions that just dump it to summon themselves and they have crazy effects too. And then... you can just get it back with another card.

[@gomez9949]

The issue with dustshoot is that we have a 15 card extra deck full of monsters that we can go into and if we know which monsters answer all your combos next turn on our turn( we activate the trap on your turn after you draw) then literally all the cards in your hand can be taken into account before summoning the specific monsters with the appropriate counters to your cards.

[@Futuristic271]

So is it accurate to say that Yu-Gi-Oh is about locking your opponent out of the game before they get to play? I can see how knowing exactly which effects achieve that against their current hand is a big deal. I would have assumed coming from different card games that you would be able to tell based on their extra deck what their loss cons are and would have assumed seeing their hand wouldn't be that important so thank you for explaining why it is so good to me

[@XCC23]

@@Futuristic271 part of it is also that basically everyone runs a card called Ash blossoms. It's basically a counterspell that can stop the opponent from grabbing something from their deck (either to the hand or the battlefield). If you try to start your combo, but the opponent has Ash blossoms, they just counter you at the worst possible time for you, so knowing whether they have Ash Blossoms or not makes a huge difference. If they don't, you just go all in.

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

To be honest, that actually makes dustshoot massively weaker. Both players effectively start with a 20 card hand, with 35 left in the deck... and dustshoot doesn't get to look at 15 of those cards.

[@syrelian]

@@dontmisunderstand6041 But, looking at those cards in hand will often tell you most of whats in their Extra, and the Extra Deck takes Resources to access, if I know you have ABC cards, I can just prepare a gun for A, a stop sign for B, and keep you from ever playing C, and your extra deck no longer matters because you don't ever get there

[@IGNEUS1607]

​@@dontmisunderstand6041if you know what the 5 cards in their hand are, then you can be pretty certain of what's in their extra deck though. Modern yugioh is pretty locked to archetypes, so for example, if you see any "snake eyes" cards in their hand, then you know what deck they're playing, and thus what's in their extra deck.

[@598019001]

God I always love the story of tyler the great warrior. you can say that the joy that card brought him as a child helped save his life, helping fight back dark days like that, and then come maturity, it didn't just do that! It then Kickstarted the rest of his life. Its a feelgood 😂

[@Luminousplayer]

he fell for the waifu trap and it was even the nerfed chest version.

[@ogre589]

So just in case anyone wants to play old school magic and see how it plays, theres a computer game from the 90s simply called Magic the Gathering or Shandalar based on the area the game takes place in. It features, if memory serves, the base sets as well as a few sets after base. It also comes with a few expansions as well, though I can't say which sets they include as I haven't played the game. If you want an idea of what the game is like, ProJared has a great video talking about it. The game even includes a tutorial that can easily teach anyone the ruleset of the time. "It even makes Banding make sense."

[@haku8135]

You haven't even touched the Extra Deck yet, not even a fusion monster. He was too good at getting these prices. He must suffer for it. Bring in the pendulums.

[@stroodlepup]

Oh god why?

[@chomchomchomsky]

Great video, regarding Morphing Jar though. It was not a gimmick or fun random "Mana Clash" card. It was a format warping, competitive force. I am not sure if CGB is aware that you can set spell cards. So back in the day, often first turn was just set 5 backrow, set 1 monster (morphing jar), go. It was incredibly hard to deal with, especially for beatdown kind of decks that played many monsters. Nobleman of Crossout WAS NOT OUT YET, so you either had to waste a Raigeki/Dark Hole for one set monster that could be Sangan, or go -1 in card advantage by playing Tribute to the Doomed. Either way, setting backrow meant that you could navigate around "symmetry" of the effect and make the card much more deterministic (setting monster reborn, keeping high level monster in hand so on)

[@SerialDesignation_O]

that transition was great

[@Swarloooooos]

Really love the trio of arc you're going with CGB and Rarran. I hope you 3 farm this for as many videos as you can and end the series with the three of you, building a deck, and battling each other in each respective card games. Or maybe host a tournament with other creators as well but u 3 must participate. That will be kind of cool

Give him a little time, he has seen like 10 yugi cards in his life. I'm sure that if the series goes on, he'll see more and more crazy and wacky cards.
