You know? If I had to describe the Extra Deck to a Magic player, I'd probably describe it as a "15-Card Command Zone that certain types of monsters start the game in."

[@IslarfPokemon]

An Attractions deck, but you cast spells from it instead with specific methods of casting.

[@zurajanaisephirothda3886]

Wouldnt the extra deck be like the O.G. Companion Zone where if you fulfil the condition/ pay the mana, you can just summon out of it?

[@ParryDox]

I like to say that if Marit Lage existed in Yu-Gi-Oh, it would be two cards where the land becomes some esoteric Spell card and the big fu token creature is an Extra Deck Monster.

​@ParryDox field spell w ice counters maybe? Or a trap card/continuous spell that ticks down on summon to make marit lage, or maybe you can sacrifice creatures to tick down the ice counters

1:00:45 Time Wizard Of Tomorrow has topped exactly one event, and it was me! This was briefly played in Dinosaur shortly after the release of Pot of Prosperity because Lost World + Baby/Petit + Instant Fusion was a 3 card combo that guaranteed your full Dragoon combo through an Ash.

[@GodEmperorKen]

you play(ed) fluffals AND you topped an event with time wizard of tomorrow? how can one person be so based?

[@masanetthomas8586]

I was thinking about this and wondered if Cimooooooooooo knew what event it topped in. Your whole deck (which I discovered in your apparence with MBT) was full of little amazing synergies and the "instant fusion can be a combo piece" was a super fun way to use TWOT. I can still here MBT's despair each time he understood "and it works with lost world?" or at the awesome find of Gilasaurus to combat Lancea. Props for this amazing deck! But I don't find Cimo's assesment that fair, sure the card almost didn't see play but it's far from a bad card, it's just a case of the extra deck beeing extra tight.

[@angelo9024]

Magic already has cards that are both monsters and spells. They’re called adventure cards. You can use them as a spell first and then later cast them as a creature. There isn’t the mess of pendulum summoning involved but the concept of a monster that is also a spell shouldn’t be foreign to him.

[@Arikel1349]

CGB here is a little Explenation for you: Consider the Extra deck like an unnerfed Companion Zone, but with 15 Cards instead of one. And you can summon from this Companion Zone if you meet the Conditions. And most likely the 15 Cards in this Companion Zone are the most strong and important Cards from your deck. Also another difference: Your opponent can't see the cards in your Extra Deck.

[@Noobie2k7]

Unless you're in the xyz era in which case in order to look at your opponents extra deck you can just look at your own. Since a good 13 of the 15 will be the same.

I love how Cimo basicly tells him at 40:30 basicly tells him that the Card was not legal to play at some point and CGB didnt even notice it

[@menderbug1]

It's probably because in Magic we usually play rotating formats, so saying a card "used to be legal" or something is completely normal

[@flinngordon9994]

Comment for CGB: 1:05:25 A better way to explain why Time Wizzard of Tomorrow isn't good is because it doesn't work well in modern YuGiOh's play pattern. The best modern YuGiOh decks have IN ENGINE ways of removing monsters, spells, and traps that don't require a lot of resource commitment. For example, in modern YuGiOh you will do something like: summon a monster that functions as a piece of removal, and then use that monster as a tribute (or something similar) as part of your combo. Having the option of using Instant Fusion to summon a Time Wizard of Tomorrow is versatile in the sense that it's one option out of potentially 15 from your extra deck, but it's not good enough when in engine removal exists. For non-engine cards to be viable in modern YuGiOh they must be game warping or achieve something that your decks engine cannot do on its own.

[@Doombacon]

I wonder if it might have been correct for branded to play it in older formats. Prior to Cartesia and Quem branded did have more extra deck flexibility and backrow has always been a weak point of the deck, there have been lists that ran hexsealed fusions historically as well.

It's to get around the "only 1 equip" restriction. If you steal a LaJinn or whatever and they summon something bigger, you simply crash your Restrict to pop the equip off and take the new monster. The battle protection makes WAY MORE sense on Thousand Eyes than other monsters that randomly have it. Big offenders are like Five-Headed Dragon or Borrelsword which are so absurdly large that they aren't getting beaten over anyway.

@@amethonys2798 to be fair 5headed and borrelsword had battle protection for lore reasons involving how they were used in the anime

even then it's still nerfed from its original form, relinquished could originally assimilate more than one monster at a time and would gain the TOTAL atk of all the absorbed monsters (and thousand eyes restrict just had the full effect of relinquished + the full effect of thousand eyes idol (paralysing everything else on the field))

You guys must also take into Account that Rarran played the game for hours in a variety of formats and had help from other Yugitubers and his Chat, meanwhile CGB never touched the game before and sees everything he rates for the first time. So of course Rarrans guesses on cards are far more often on point than CGBs. I think people always go a bit harsh on CGB in the comments. You can't fully understand a 27 year old game and how it developed over time based on rating like 40 cards. And based by the stuff he's presented to in the videos, I think CGB does a great job.

Notably, one thing about Time Wizard of Tomorrow that was a bit downplayed is that it's a *very* new card. like 2020 card. If it had been printed like 5 years prior when a lot of the board wipe cards that you see today were either not made yet or on the F&L list and extra deck space was not as tight as it is now, maybe you would see some people teching it (but instant fusion is still at 1 so it wouldn't be widespread). But certainly not in the modern era

[@Stony2103]

This is an ignition effect. 5 years before 2020, back in 2015 - where you had to boardwipe opponents in Nekroz format (when they literally negated the extra so you can't play this last, but can't play this first due to no monsters being on the board), Kozmo which you plus by destroying, and Zoo, which pop this before you can activate it. You are coping, and badly so.

[@MiyaoMeow588]

@@Stony2103 ??? zoo was in 2017 my guy, i don't know what you're on. and nekroz was a tier 0 format so a silly comparison to begin with but blowing up kozmo monsters doesn't *plus* them. if anything you're essentially replacing them with weaker monsters that you may have an easier time dealing with. it's not like thousand eyes would deal with a dark destroyer any better not only that, but the pilots don't have floating effects, only the ships do

[@pivotcreator2]

@@Stony2103I disagree, maybe 5 years is too fresh, but he did mention instant fusion was an old card, CGB doesn’t have a ton of context in the first place, so him thinking a boardwipe you can cheat out that might have been around in a similar time frame as the cyber dragon stuff isn’t nuts. CGB was just evaluating things from the 2000’s, a jump to a card from 2020 should have been mentioned. If you just said this was around the time of handtraps/omni negates I’m sure he would have evaluated it differently

[@finalsusanoo830]

I feel like if It was around synchro or the beginning of xyz era I would’ve seen play but it’s hard to say after that because there are a lot of decks that don’t care about being destroyed

[@DimkaTsv]

Is anywhere specified ruling on this card? Or does it just have bad wording? "Once per turn, while you control this Fusion Summoned card. You CAN! toss a coin and call it. Destroy as many monsters on field as possible... ... ..." You can, doesn't mean you do. Meaning that act of tossing and call out is optional. And at the same time destroy any monsters on field is not optional effect. And if you hadn't toss coin, noone should take damage, making it just targeted clear of monsters. If coin toss is not optional it should've been written as "Call out a coin toss and toss a coin" or "Toss a coin and call it". None of that "can" or "may" bullsh*t.

[@VinceTenia]

The stupid thing about instant fusion is it essentially reads "pay 1000 lifepoints; apply the effect of 1 of your fusion monsters" so essentially, it becomes a "do anything" card which is way too flexible, its a board wipe, target removal, non targeting banishment, back row destruction, and start of a special summon chain into your win condition all on one card that "costs" 1000 LP.

[@syrelian]

And some things don't even flinch at the last part, "it is destroyed" means all the shit thats destruction immune DOES NOT CARE(the attack lock is permanent tho) Instant Fusion is insanely good, wild card

[@valleyard8674]

(A,B,C or D) Kind of deal

[@DoNotFearTheReapa]

I don't think watching a yugioh expert answer multiple choice trivia would be very interesting, and I don't think getting someone who has no idea to pick a random choice is very fun. Card evaluation is way more fun for people who aren't as invested into the one game.

[@dhamtom9]

As we are covering the main mechanic of GX, Cimoo feels like a proud professor Crowler at the end of the anime with his students after seeing how much he has grown. A funny fact and maybe a good way to think if it could be ban if this card could be a too powerful card for an anime villain. For example Super Polimerizarion was introduced of a certain villain "opponent" in Gx. For next episode, if we follow the generarions let's hope that Cimoo told CBG to prepare his bike helmet and get ready for acceleration and math.

[@rufuspilula247]

CGB, here's a few spoiler free explainations. - The Extra Deck is, simply put, a companion zone with up to 15 companions (not shown to your opponent). There are 4 companion types, each having different methods of summoning, which mainly involves sending monsters from field to graveyard (with the exception of Fusions). - Attack and Defense aren't Power and Toughness. They're (attack) Power and (defense) Power. A defense position monster looks like a tapped creature which signifies it (usually) cannot declare attacks and the Defense "Power" is applied for damage calculation.

[@HakureiIllusion]

Can't wait for the Synchro episode CGB: "But you need to get the right levels of monsters out and a tuner to get this one out..." Cimo: "Yes but there's like five Synchron monsters that will just pull all of the levels and tuners you need out of your deck and you don't even have to think about it."

[@firemage8874]

5 headed dragon in edison format lets you send any 5 dragons you want to the graveyard with future fusion and THAT is totally busted as hell lol

[@Xotamus]

Homie CGB actually killing it with the reasoning on his guesses, very impressive considering the extremely limited context he's working with

[@andreobarros]

So yugioh is a very simple game, to do the very simple action of battle (attacking your opponent monster) you just need to: - Enter the battle phase: (Now the game state is open, and you can declare an attack) - Battle step, (everything starts here, you declare the attack) Now you just need to be somewhat aware of those simple steps: -Damage step [ -- Start of damage step :: :: -- -- Here; you simply declare that you are entering the damage step -- Before damage calculation :: :: -- -- Here; monsters flip up, atk modulating effects (1) can be applied -- Damage calculation :: :: -- -- Here; we do the math, subtract the life points, losing monster gets marked for destruction -- After damage calculation :: :: -- -- Here; flip effects are applied -- End of damage step :: :: -- -- Here; monsters marked for destruction are destroyed, and battle destruction effects (2) are activated ] ** Cards can activate at any point if its stated on the card, 1 and 2 are generic cases. Now you are ready for somewhat casual yugioh. Very simple no?

@11:10 TER's restriction on changing battle positions only applies to manually changing battle positions.

[@hctaz]

CGB, as a long term Cyber Dragon player, I love the fact you IMMEDIATELY figured out that Cyber Twin Dragon was better than Cyber End Dragon LOL. It warms my little Cyber Dragon heart. Also yeah our deck is designed to go second and deal like 20,000 points of damage in one turn. Not only do we have Limiter Removal, but we also have a special Polymerization card that only works on machine fusion monsters, but doubles it’s attack… So… Twin Dragon but you double it to 5,600 but then you double it again to 11,200, and then it attacks twice. :) ALSO, I’m so glad he showed you Chimertech, Future Fusion, and Overload Fusion. What I loved about Cyber Dragon is the ridiculous combos that exist like Future Fusion to send your entire deck to the graveyard into Overlord Fusion into chimeratech which now has 16,000 attack and defense or something stupid.

[@raymondvanderbunt6402]

I'm also a fellow Cyber Dragon player, and part of what makes the Cyber-Stein combo so deadly is something Cimo didn't bring up here.

39:35 I love how he says, "Oh, that's cheating!" Exactly like how a kid seeing this for the first time would.

[@ColiniStauch-m9i]

I can‘t wait for him to meet pendulums

[@yoyobird8427]

aw man im so glad you had this guy back on. Hes really entertaining : D

[@derpro8125]

He's very fun

[@blakelarkin9663]

I believe that cyberstein and blue eyes ultimate dragon wasn’t a problem because blue eyes ultimate dragon was delayed so long to be released in the TCG, not just because cybersteins inaccessibility Blue eyes ultimate dragon wasn’t released in the TCG until 2010, cyber twin was released in 2005

[@chataclysm2112]

ultimate dragon was released in late 07 - early 08 depending on region, but yes. however, master of oz existed.

[@patrickschmidt6140]

One thing that I think helps with context as of why cards like thousand eyes restrict are so good, is you're not just one for one-ing your opponent. Because usually whatever card you're taking out, they've spent resources to make. In the old days, if it was a tribute summoned monster and you take it out with thousand eyes, You technically two for one them. Because the original monster they played, and the tribute summoned monster. It's the same thing if you take out their extra deck monster. If they used a polymerization and two cards to summon their monster, you've just done a three for one.

[@lukethegamer1308]

CBT has got to meet MBT i so want to see them collab

[@jamesaditya5254]

Thousand Eyes Restrict is such a cool card, it's a subversion on the idea that the higher level a monster is, the stronger they are. Especially when compared to Ultimate Dragon since Kaiba did start as an antagonist turned rival/anti-hero, it's nice seeing that a low level monster with a nasty trick up its sleeve is more than capable of overthrowing a big unga bunga dragon with all style and no substance.

[@howlingzangetsu]

So I remember one time playing with a friend, I used future fusion and chimeratech overdragon to win the game, I dumped 19 meterials including a cyber dragon. Then I played overload fusion to get the overdragon out, attacked into my friends attack position sangan… and they flipped magic cylinder. I was dead silent for a good minute

[@LichKingGTR]

Can't wait for his reaction to Synchro lmao Awesome video! thanks guys!

[@Earthgrand234]

39:45 Why yes, yes I do.

[@Dyleniz]

Oh are we getting the card game on motorcycles in the next episode? CGB nailed it saying we hate paying costs lmao

[@hunterfitton7592]

I love that everyone who sees future fusion doesn't notice it says from deck

[@nuggetsml]

Man the era when future fusion and Cyber dragon were good cards was so hype. i remember being a kid and seeing Zane Truesdale do the Future fusion +overload fusion combo in the anime, then coming to locals that weekend and seeing someone do it IRL, good times

[@rickyl3819]

"I'm having fun reading!" Clearly, still not ready to go to a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament.

[@Tenortimmy]

CGB’s “Whaaaaaa? They made an ultimate dragon???!!” at 3:28 cracks me up. Great video!!

[@g0mmyg0mmyg0m]

Love this series. I'd love to see him rate cards relating to alt win conditions. show this man an exodia setup

[@spacepsycat]

Instant fusion died because of Kitkallos. That card has banned even Terraforming in MD, because tear is so popular. OMEGALUL

[@neoaquadolphin]

i think cimo should have said when talking about the materials of thousand eyes restrict is "one of them is a 0/0 vanilla monsters so unplayable, and the other is with a card type thats even more convoluted to summon"

[@Jimey28]

59:45 the muted elated laughter is sending me

[@DammitSinged]

CGB and Cimo vids came out 40 minutes apart, which do i watch first? Fuck it im Dual Wielding.

[@Kaiasky]

you can tribute both to fusion summon a Rarran or Voxy video

[@fardboi9781]

I really liked the future fusion one here. I could see immediately with the cards the thought process you wanted cgb to go through haha. Content cinema

[@GreycatRademenes]

I remember playing Pre-Extra Deck time and remember that you used your Fusion Deck Zone as one of the following: You put your 'mascot card' there (usually in a different sleeve so it's not mistaken for a card in play), your Tokens, or a spot for counters if needed. Later you could tell if someone was playing a Hero or GladBeast deck, cause these were first that had good fusions.

[@MajdYT]

for super polymerization it is a quick effect spell, if you go first and you don't wanna remove any of your monsters on your field then you can set down the super polymerization and on the opponent's turn you can fusion summon whichever you want, the biggest down side is the cost which super polymerization requires a discard of one card to activate the super poly

[@FirekingBarong]

The Cimoo and CGB Ark is a really nice season, i dont want to watch the season finally because there is so much more to watch yet ^^ Keep it up guys, you make a good pair

[@IWannaToHelp]

I gotta say I love these blind review videos you, CGB, and Rarran have been making. I get excited when any one of you upload these videos!

[@tkay42]

As an oldtimer Yu-Gi-Oh player, who dippt a little into magic and just came back to Yu-Gi-Oh via Masterduel, I can say, it hit me hart aswell, when I first encountert Super Polymerization. Even after I've got a little grip on new Yu-Gi-Oh with the extra deck and so on, I still could'nt belived, that this card is not banned. 😅 The "no response" thing realy cought me of guard @.@ Love this format. Especially with CGB 😃 Can relate a lot and helps me to to catch up, what happens with Yu-Gi-Oh scince 2010 😄

[@ZachWay]

I've been waiting for the extra deck/ fusion video THIS WHOLE TIME!

[@jorgitosilva]

Basically my head canon lore behind the Extra Deck would be this: Monsters in the deck are actual "Existing monsters"... weak lower level monsters can "get to the field" by just being summoned into it... but higher level monsters require tribute to break the barrier between the hand and the field in order to hit the field... And ritual monsters require that tribute/sacrifice as well as a "ritual" (magic) in order to break that barrier and hit the field... Then we get to the Extra deck where the monsters are actually "not real" in the sense that they are not pre-existing monsters but are instead "new monsters" created from the actual monsters that exist in the deck... Fusion monsters are created when you combine 2 monsters... Synchro monsters are created when tuner monsters "sacrifice themselves" to "tune" or upgrade an existing monster turning him into something new... XYZ monsters are beings from an alternate "negative" dimension who require beings of their same negative level to open a gate for them and become their stength in order to display their abilities, but that strength is consumed whenever they use it. Link monsters are beings from a different but not negative dimension, which require monsters from this dimension to create a path for them to follow into this one... and they themselves can become a path for other link monsters to follow into this dimension. And their abilities can only be displayed with the support of other monsters backing them up from close proximity... Pendulum Monsters are real monsters from this dimension but they are atuned to a different dimension so when they are destroyed they instead are pushed away into a different dimension and those same monsters can used their own magic to create a gate to bring those monsters that were pushed away back...

[@dancorneanu9144]

You are close to the way Fussions were first envisioned. In the manga, anime the fussions were not real cards. They were actual fusion of monsters based on charts. Each monster worked like Pokemon. That is why Kaiba had to do the work and discover the Ultimate Dragon. There was no card made by Pegasus for him. That is also why the fusion with Mamoth graveyard worked like it did. Alive and undead could not fusion correctly and the result was killing itself. It's the same for transformations. When Joey used Time Wizards effect, the monsters transformed. There was no Dark Sage, or Thousand Dragon. Those were the result of the transformation. The same with old Harpy Ladies or Fossilized Red Eyes. That is why the original Fussion Deck was infinite. It had infinite cards for infinite modifications. Because Konami made a straight card game from a tabletop rpg mixed with a card game. Early videogames worked like this. You discovered the extra deck monsters, not buy the card. Synchros are the tuner using itself to tune a monster and make something else from it. In idea. But the card is real. The dark synchros were the negative dimension monsters.

[@einargs]

I'm so excited that we've finally gotten to fusion summons. I can't wait for the even weirder ones -- especially since I stopped playing right when XYZ monsters were being introduced, so I'll be just as confused by them! I really hope Gladiator Beasts get covered in some video eventually, purely because I remember finding them as a ten year old and going "this is so weird, I must play these." Though, I doubt they really fit the format of this series.

[@PROcrastinatingnao]

I love the “for now…” when you said they’re all monsters. Pendulum extra deck monsters xdd

[@reiezevan]

Was expecting DPE or Magical Scientist to be in the video but seeing Chimeratech Overdragon combo here was a delight

[@JeffreyRenaud]

I will never not watch the CGB + Rarran + Cimoooo train. It’s just good brain rot content for a casual lunch break

[@FFFirestorm]

I LOVE THIS SHIT FOR NO REASON THANK YOU CHEF ALGORITHM

[@Krokodilius]

lol that standby phase shit was gold 🤣

[@TheRecamender]

Bro when he was talking about time wizard of tomorrow I was like whoa wait a minute did we miss something he was so convinced that it nearly made me think it was a good card lmao

[@needsanameedit4982]

First frame of CGB; "I HAVE MY NOTEBOOK!!1"

[@Ninj7]

It's probably my Joey shenanigans brain, but I instantly love TWOT seeing it first here. Just makes me sad that Instant Fusion is banned in MD since that's the only way I play. I guess I could still combo it in private games with friends. But my friends don't typically play high-tier metas, so a board wipe OTK would be unlikely.

[@VB2P360]

Awww should've shown him Last Warrior From Another Planet.

[@alphamarigi]

I feel like Time Wizard of Tommorow being relatively new was a piece of context he was missing.

[@numb1gxfan]

Playing competitive Cyber dragon was the most fun I have ever had playing Yugioh. It was so satisfying to end a game with a 16,000 atk Cyber End. This was mid pendulum era, the only deck I had trouble beating was Qliphort.

[@Stony2103]

That is not mid-pendulum era if you played against Qliphort. I'm sorry for your warped sense of time.

[@numb1gxfan]

@@Stony2103 Well, whenever it was, it's been years oh well I got a date wrong. I played through most of the pendulum era. No need to be rude about it.

[@zergolicious666]

i have been enjoying these long hour videos seeing peoples interpretations to yugioh shenanigans , its been fun

[@theHeavyMetalHermit]

Holy shit. So I've been playing Yugioh since like 2005. I've had Instant Fusion for most of this time! And it never occurred to me that it looks like instant ramen...

[@YukiFubuki.]

what did you though it was, like the art is literally a cup of instant fusion (cup is even labeled fusion)

[@DGSnowolf]

Time Wizard of Tomorrow wouldve definitely seen play if it was released during the time of all the cards before it in this video. It's basically a Chaos Emperor Dragon on a fusion with the effect being a coin flip. So it probably wouldnt have been banned like chaos emperor dragon but it definitely wouldve been as annoying as the guest predicted it would be. The only reason really it isnt good with its actual release date is cause the game has become so crazy that Raigeki is at 3

[@VCV95]

Damn, I never thought about Thousand Eyes being immune to Book of Moon! I mean it's niche, but a neat interaction.

[@sapphiredraggytheflygon8521]

It’s not

[@mrevilducky]

"Other monsters on the field cannot change their battle positions or attack." Unfortunately, thousand eyes can get book of mooned.

[@SoujiSetaP4]

This isn't true. If you play goat format, you know the premier out to TER is Tsukuyomi. TER only stops manual changing in battle position. Effects are good to go.

[@TheRealHiboman]

*tips my yugioh fedora*: “m’dragon of the swamp”

[@jseeker1867]

The chemistry Cimo and CGB have with each other is amazing. I could watch a hundred videos of them together.
