Im not going to lie, this series has made me a little sad that I was on hiatus during the 5d's era. It's like a happy medium between old school grindy yugioh and modern explosive yugioh.

[@EinDose]

It seems like it's a really friendly era to go back to if you want to buy physical cards now, too. A bunch of the big cards at the time like Pot of Duality and the Signer Dragons have become really easy to get with various reprints over time.

Yep, this was the time I played and liked yugioh a lot...(using simulators, though, but still lots of fun). Then it came pendulums...O found their mechanics ugly...then performapals and performages became way too consistent; I quit, waiting for them to het hit by banlists, but then we got zodiacs I quit like forever...nowadays the game looks nuts...when I watch replays it looks like everything is decided on the first and second turn

[@midshipman8654]

I tottally get that, though i do think starlight is a bit of a “win harder” card. there was something fun about top decking a mass destruction card and evening a one sided field. as well as the person with the advantage having to consider keeping some stuff in hand as a back up.

[@AstraRandom]

I just realised now that were done with 2010 Xyzs aren't that far away now, which is kinda rad. Also I think this is the first time we've seen new Synchros in this series since like Hidden Arsenal 1

Is that how “Xyz” is pluralized? I honestly don’t know. I usually just pluralize the “monster” “material” or “summon” that comes after.

[@AstraRandom]

The nostalgia for me with this episode is unreal. I was playing GKs during this time period. When Recruiter was revealed, my excitement was immeasurable. So much fun! For me, at least. My varient played Royal Decree. If I got Necrovalley and RD on turn one, I basically made them scoop.

[@RealKingChief]

Yeah weirdly this episode made me nostalgic with the Gravekeepers even though I never played them. My cousins played Gravekeepers around this time which brings back memories.

[@rfrff9526]

I dont think quickdraw has had a single good showing in the entire series lmao

[@shawnjavery]

That's combo decks for you. Even in the modern format, it's not necessarily that a deck like drytron is less consistent than the other decks, but their weaker hands tend to be much weaker than comparable hands of other decks.

[@adamata64]

It's hilarious how Starstrike Blast just had nothing but bangers for it's card set. Anytime you look for an older card that's been overlooked in some form, you see STBL in the corner of the art. Freaking love that about this set.

[@jpjoshua7]

Great to see them both laugh hysterically! Hadn't seen that since the early show where Cimo predicted MBT's 1 turn kill.

Ironically, 100% in decimal form is 1, which is odd. CHETS from before the game even starts. I expect better from you Mr. BlueTron.

I stopped playing around this time shortly after I pulled a Duality and then traded it off to a local shop for a game console. Then it got reprinted in a tin and the price fell through the floor like a month later. 🤣 Game is just so ridiculous with it's price points that I lost interest. Fun to watch though, so many memories of this era.

[@AnimeRevProductions]

This episode gave me PTSD from this era. Gravekeepers absolutely FLOODED the locals scene with how easily accesible it was to make (sans the Duality before reprints). And with how frequent of a rogue deck GK's were throughout the early 2010's, I've got a sinking feeling that we are gonna see more of them. -Ryu

I stopped playing Yugioh around 2007 and briefly returned thanks to dueling network in 2010/2011. This Gravekeeper deck was more or less exactly what I played, as I had loved them before I quit and I was very happy to see them as meta contenders. Knowing what this episode would be put a big smile on my face before I even hit play.

[@9898Hawk]

I played basically the exact same deck Cimo played around that time period. Was pretty fun, idk wut joseph could possibly be complaining about

[@mohwe1007]

Oh man, early 2011 was a great period for me Six samurai was my first deck I ever got, thanks to some leftover cards my cousin gave me from his Strike of Neos collection When stardust overdrive released, I think I spent all my allowance trying to get some earthbound immortal cards, and I ended up with 3 copies of gateway instead. I wasn’t complaining, but 4 boxes of that with only a single Ccarayhua to show for it was…disappointing Then Storm of Ragnarok came, or as my friends called it, Storm of the six. And I dove for legendary six samurai cards and I got some pretty decent pulls out from there And that’s how I fell in love with the PTSD Samurai Which I still don’t understand how they get so much hate. You’d be fine getting ftk’d with firewall dragon loop or frog FTK, hell even 3 master peace, but Shi En is where u draw the line?

[@jimmysanders505]

I irrationally hated Shi En back in the day too. Dunno why but I'd always put a ton of six sam hate in my side even when I wasn't especially likely to play it.

[@TsuikeNovaus]

I think it was because at the time Negates weren't the name of the game(there was some but it wasn't as oppressive) and Yugioh players hated being told "No" every turn so easily. The same thing happened when Infinity was big during Pend era. We just got used to boards full of negates, since every deck had them at that point. But Shi en and Infinity's time? Negates weren't common and that felt "unfair".

[@WG_Zombeenie]

I think it can be summarized as losing T1 hurts, but you can move on and find something else to do. Being made to sit and not be able to do anything of value without being actually dead yet just sucks.

19:37 Fluff Tokens are wind, so you can't use them for Nat Beast Also Stele shouldn't work under the "current" erratum of Necrovalley, because it says "can't be negated by NV", but NV says that cards in the graveyard can't be affected. Unless Stele said something else at the time

[@erenerikci3263]

Remember when future Cimo or the guest would correct the mistake made

[@teamfossil6312]

It could be something like warrior of Atlantis, which shouldn’t be able to search A Legendary Ocean (which is always treated as umi), but still can due to rulings.

[@thatcynicalbastard6636]

Some cards work in ways that were unrelated to the words on the cards. Somehow I think Stele works under Necrovalley.

[@fireblaze16]

Necrovalley: "Negate any effect that moves a card to a different place" Stelle: "this effect cannot be negated by the effect of 'necrovalley'"

[@TheArcv2]

I'm 99% sure it was ruled that Steele just worked even though it technically shouldn't

[@cameronpower7814]

Oh Gravekeepers, I swear this deck is still only 1 wave of support away from still being relevant, just because of how good necrovalley is.

29:30 a little late to say, but cimo summoned Stardust when he already played Duality

those Six Sams and TG Agents are coming up very soon, looking forward to seeing them in action for the 2011
