Playing a self burn deck against a lock deck is peak Jank

[@MFChickenFlipper]

Final Sigma grindset: make your own LP 0 so your opponent can't have the satisfaction of killing you themselves.

[@therranolleo468]

we are inching 1 week closer to the Jank Tank merging as one with Cimo's skin, maybe then he can win a HoJ for once

[@willooo09]

He’s making up for ruining Gage

[@blahmaster6k]

So Cimo's deck has literally zero outs to the wattlock, which means that even if he managed to pull off his combo after MBT he would just lose to deckout after skipping all of MBT's turns.

[@jameselsbury9478]

Not quite- he would be burned to death by lotus much faster than he would deck out.

[@kevplescia4397]

The little plant would burn him to death before deckout

[@ravinercf]

[@sagacious03]

11:49 Cimo only had to pay 1,000; Reduce The World to Level 6, Tribute the Samsara on field. 16:07 Haven't watched ahead, but I'd bet MBT's set monster is their destroyed by battle searcher; Thus, you could destroy it, set your Quick-Plays, then chain EP to HD to get 1,000 LP & potentially make them choose between combo pieces. 16:38 Not attacking with other Screech? 20:38 Dark World Dealings as Draw & Discard? Dragged Down Into the Grave? Reload? Magical Mallet? I think something like Lightning Vortex, especially if you allow Sideboard, might be an option to help Cimo here. Maybe Cannon Soldier as an alt win condition once you get infinite turns? Sorry if my critique bothered you all. Anyway, neat video! Thanks for uploading!

[@Carlitonsp1]

How did MBT convince Cimooo to play a self-burn deck.

[@RaceBandit]

_"It'll be like when you played Dark Snake Syndrome against Gageh!"_

[@marcjimenez4116]

"Even if I summon The World, how do I out the lock?" "I don't know, you have infinite turns to find out!"

[@pinkdelicious655]

Legit that could be an anime moment. Duelist Kingdom was just jank meta

[@mottzilla2]

I'm so confused why cimo didn't make The World a 6 star and tribute the flower that killed him pretty much.

[@Chronos10099]

The turn skip requires you to tribute 2 monsters. So he needed the lotus to potentially lock MBT out

[@Alessandro-rn8tp]

@@Chronos10099 the lotus can come back in ep

[@homerman76]

@@Alessandro-rn8tp Yes, but that would give mbt the option to set his back row again which could ultimately end the game anyways via elimination of The World, though even then he only had one lotus out, and skipping one turn at the cost of the world wouldn't really help 🤔

[@HapsterHap]

The Tunnel

[@BramLastname]

@@homerman76 but if you have no way to get the extra monster on board, tributing the lotus is better.

[@Sad-Lesbian]

Turns out that your deck doesn't need a win condition when your opponent kills themselves!

[@darkjaden-fe]

Alex my dude my guy you gotta stop summoning Lotus with no way to get The World on field lol

[@IlpalaGaming]

Fool me once, shame on you. Summon Lotus against the deck with nothing but direct attackers twice, get tunneled.

[@genm4827]

Hmm, I will summon Samsara Lotus face-up against the Wattlock deck without any way to get rid of it, surely this is how I should play the deck *clueless*

[@ryanjones_rheios]

Yeah after watching for a bit, and having a lot of fun doing it, I've come to the conclusion that Cimo is not a very good player when the deck isn't an archetype he's excited for. And even then... (To be clear he'd probably beat any deck I've ever made but that's just because I play 60 card Dragon (with an unsupported blue eyes sub-focus) hard-summon jank. I know what I like and its not winning by the standards of a good deck in any game. My MTG decks were equally terrible.).

[@TDonnelly1989]

You guys better be planning on doing a History of Jank episode about that Madolche deck that topped Nats during dragon ruler format

[@zarashirkorai]

Yes I'm a year late, Don't worry about it Cimo not summoning Treeborne off of One-for-one when it's so clearly in view, and so clearly 1 star, when he knows Watt doesn't out monsters is insane, especially when it absolutely made the difference

[@Parabol700l]

I think at this point, cimo should start shopping for his wardrobe with the jank tank in mind. Maybe make some nice flower-themed outfits.

[@MiyaoMeow588]

that emergency provisions play was probably the hypest activation of that card ever. sucks it got negated

[@maskedduelist1380]

Everyone: Banlist dropped!!! Cimoooooooo: Jank

[@jnknknk]

Fire Blossom into the Samsara was such a bad move. Should’ve gone into the Dandylion

[@jameselsbury9478]

Cimooo versus a deck based on locking out attacks and chip and choosing to run a deck based solely around attacking and being burned by his own cards. Never change Cimo, never change.

[@banditkade]

Cimo really made watching this unbearable. He could have saved himself 1000LP to reduce Za Warudo to level 6 and sac'd Lotus, which would have also prevented Lotus' burn damage every turn. Game 2, he opened with the perfect cards to set up his graveyard, and instead of going for Treeborn like he should have, he goes for Samsara Lotus, which ends up burning him yet again.

[@DaemonRayge]

G2 was pain.

[@elving.414]

I was hoping to find a Za Warudo in the comments haha

[@LazurBeemz]

and then even after going for Lotus and taking 1000, he still had Lonefire in hand, which he could summon and have it tribute the Lotus for Dandylion, removing the lotus from the field and setting up to tribute Dandy and get tokens for tribute fodder, etc. The play could have been salvaged, but...

[@deadlineuniverse3189]

Dark Bribe on Emergency Provisions And the best play. Only in Jank

Alex looking more like Arcana Force 0 in this one.

[@williambryant6175]

He’s been looking like that for quite awhile now, lol

[@CobaltSanderson]

This episode is another of many that showcases a huge issue with this series. We have two decks running such seperate win cons that they actually have no interaction with each other. Cards like Screech are played with the intent of being destroyed by battle, going against a deck that never attacks opponents monsters. Jank decks are designed with their format in mind, not another random deck that doesn’t interact with them whatsoever. We saw this with the Final Countdown episode.

[@emreamuk6207]

Wow I can't believe cimoo played the fabled samsara lotus self burn turbo!!!!

@@ArmageddonEvil Pretty sure he wasn't referring to how many episodes he'd won in the second season, but to how many seasons of Prog he had won already. Hence the one because he beat Gage in most of the Season 1 episodes and won the season as a whole.

Thank you for maintaining the upload schedule while still working on your banlist reaction. I hope the algorithm doesn't take too much of a toll on the double upload, love your stuff cimoooooooo

[@emilypearl3510]

I mean, part of the problem is this a weird matchup right? The world deck counts on your oppoent attacking into your stuff. Against a deck that isn't all about direct attacks, it does better. And we didn't get to see the value of the watt-lock. You kinda picked a match up that didn't show off these decks

[@julias01]

Really liked this episode. But I have to point out that Wattcobra didn't come out until Photon Shockwave, in the Xyz era. Whoops.

[@ZeroLDD]

Cimo activates one for one has a choice between Samsara lotus a monster that won't be attack against a Watt deck and burns you vs treeborn which doesn't kill you picks samsara and proceeds to kill himself

[@Reveal_City]

Arcana Force used to be my favorite archetype as a kid! I loved how these were used by the big bad guy in season 2 of GX and when they finally got printed irl I almost lost my mind! I collected all of them from LODT and my dad got me a copy of Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler online. I still own all of them today! There is something incredibly complex and mysterious about these cards...

[@garbagecan755]

Cimo: I guess I'll get Samsara Lotus Treeborn: Am I a joke to you?

[@johnsopa5921]

Didn't wattcobra come out in photon shockwave so it wouldn't be out for a long time until after edison?

[@Magile]

My thoughts exactly

[@Beldurkin]

The real reason Cimo lost its because he didn't shout "Za Warudo!" before flipping the coin

[@RomanceJones]

this man is so good he chains MST in the graveyard

[@Jessyjplays]

the way Cimo sounds like despairing Kermit when he says "I guess we tried" is gonna kill me holy shit

[@yagizozkan8074]

Should have called him ZA WARUDO

[@shirayukinobunaga9424]

I feel dissapointed Cimo didn't go ZA WAULDO!!!

[@NexusVFD]

[@Traves.official]

Star Blast is a classic, used to run it in my tribute/synchro pile back in high school and it was a very versatile card.

[@galindoof]

Game 2 was pain.

[@Alb410]

Oh no, the deck that requires to be attacked to get searches lost to the deck that attacks directly. Oh noooo....

[@Exisist5151]

1:57 Yeah the funny part is everybody on online sims still act pretty much the same as that.

[@dk2853]

Oh cool deck MBT. I used to run a Stromberg/Watt deck on Duel Links, and it was actually really good. Surprised it was ever played in the TCG though.

[@AtomicOpenHouse]

Dark bribing emergency provisions is unironically the funniest shit

[@sinbadddx]

Why cimo chose samsara lotus over treeborn I do not know

[@Dannysapphire]

Game 2 was weird. Why One For One for the Samsara when when Treeborn was a much better choice in that case?

[@verbalengine95]

Again, I feel like this series is at it's best when you both cover jank decks that historically saw a level of success and not just finding random decks from Pojo

[@MomijiHVods]

I’m pretty sure wattcobra was released in Photon shockwave, an XYZ era set.

[@sallas09]

Since this episode is set after Edison, if it were set in Shining Darkness format, you could make a somewhat viable World deck using the Frog FTK engine. Just replace the Mass Drivers with copies of The World, and then try to find a way to incorporate Light Barrier(to make sure the combo definitely goes off) and Upstart Goblin(because you have infinite turns to beat your opponent; unlike with Frog FTK, you don't care about your opponent's LP). While you don't have 'infinite' fodder, Treeborn Frog and Ronintoadin guarantee that you have more than enough tributes to buy you as many turns as you need to win.

[@BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

For the record mbts deck is historically incorrect. Wattcobra came out in photon Shockwave and royal oppression was banned in the September 2011 format which doesn't include photon Shockwave. So his deck makes 0 sense for the post Edison erra.

[@CCHanma]

This really the funnest series to watch

[@scottjohnson9672]

I remember making a Zombie World deck with this guy as the boss monster. Very fun and wasn't horrible just took time to get combo off successfully.

[@jnknknk]

He had MST to get rid of messenger of peace and chose to target a random set?

[@Gamemaster13000]

Cimooooo: *Plays the absolute worst decks known to mankind* Also Cimooooo: Why do I keep losing? At this point, I think Cimooooo is the one who's One With The Jank, sadly, that means losing every week.

[@Registeel13Ty]

Probably the best version of the World deck I ever tried was back when Soul Charge was legal at 3, and it also ran triple Level Eater to keep eating levels and providing tribute fodder for the skip turns

[@OmnimonX12345]

It does kinda suck for Cimo that Skreech is just a dead card. MBT wouldn't attack it face down and the strongest Watt monster he plays has 1400 Atk so Cimo couldn't even crash it.

[@creed4548]

When MBT asked "are you okay?" After that G1 I died 😭😭😭

[@cheshirewise942]

Worst duel ever.

[@timaeus22222]

Meanwhile in Master Duel you can simply set up Amorphactor Pain, Beatrice dumping Thunder of Ruler, and Auroradon to recover Thunder of Ruler each turn that you Special Summon 3 Drytrons to tribute after Ritual Summoning Amorphactor Pain beforehand. Skip Main Phase 1 and Battle Phase, thus skipping Main Phase 2 and going straight to the End Phase.

[@gabrielpelletier6202]

I mean, MBT's win condition wasn't establishing the Wattlock. It was you summoning Samsara Lotus.

[@cr9almightyking377]

Dude I love this series bro it helps me when I’m feeling down keeep up the content 👍👍👍

[@anasazmi8554]

Cimo could've Star Blasted 2 stars on The World instead of 4. Then he could've gotten rid of the self-burn while hoping for The World to get its Heads effect and have 2 other monsters on his field. Also, with One for One in Game 2, he could've Summoned Treeborn Frog instead. The tunnel seems to be full of Samsara Lotuses.

[@StilfStonermilf]

Who knew a 5 card combo would lose to a 2-3 card combo?

That jank tank is gonna start ROTTING on Cimo. Let's GO MBTEAM

[@TDZ__1]

Shocked he let history of jank be uploaded since they released the ban list

[@coreyyotto]

The World Lock deck definitely would have benefited from a side deck. For instance, My Body is completely dead against Joseph's deck here. Reckless Greed might be a better replacement considering you're at risk of deck out, otherwise spot removal or flood gates would be better. Other than that, I think Alex just misplayed a little bit. For instance, the way he played Samsara was Gage-tier in terms of self-burn. All of Joseph's monster attack directly anyways, there's no reason to put up defenders.

[@tonibufu6103]

Samsara Lotus effect says that, you can special summon it from grave, but you don't have to.

[@someguy4309]

[@Carlitonsp1]

Cimooo releases an extra short video on the day the banlist is released so people can quickly watch both. He secretly knows when the Ban List is being released.

[@thelogonater78]

You cannot have both protagonist powers diamond hands AND ALSO dumb jank superiority. You get one Cimo. One.

[@badegg1262]

a friend made this deck playing around an agent package. he also used the other big arcana and no barrier

[@slanax97]

honestly while the decks Cimo plays are of course incredibly jank I also feel that between Frog Wetlands Beats getting hardcountered by Absolute Zero by sheer coincidence and now The World going up against a lock it has no outs for, he's also just been getting very unlucky with matchups he can't even win when he gets full combo on board

[@DigitalxGamer]

I have no idea why in game 1 you would pay 2000 when you can get away with 1000 and tribute away the lotus. ...Or in Game 2, i'm totally lost as to why you'd summon Lotus that burns you instead of just taking the easy Treeborn. Especially since you not only already had a Lotus for the grave, but ALSO a Lonefire to get another one. Sure, Screech was gonna get you Treeborn in the grave, but that's objectively a worse play since it leaves you with a Lotus on the field to burn yourself with. Plus, since your opponent was playing Watts, they were never going to attack your monsters in the first place. Man, when Cimo dismisses a deck as unplayable, he really doesn't even try huh

[@wumpmas2]

[@TheAngryMoth104]

Should have gone full Arcana force, subject yourself to the luck

[@Zanji1234]

why does the World Deck not play 2 Terraforming i mean ... it's kinda neccesary . Also getting a Samasara Lotus with 141?? wouldn't be treeborn frog the better idea? and yeah i also played Watts on YGO Pro ... even in xyz time xD ... and even on locals in real life and when i won i got hated xD But PLEASE at least try to get some duels in with jank decks that have kinda outs to one another. I mean playing against watts without a propper mass removal... is kinda stupid .

Dude! I love your videos but MBT's sleeves are so funny 😂😂

[@wsh4d0w]

It is very interesting to see that neither MTB nor Cimo can read Light Barrier and just not tossed a coin to determin if the effect of Light Barrier would even activate. It wouldnt have changed anything, but YuGiOh! Players seem to not read cards is not a myth at all.
