[@Asako_Gaming]

A lot of people didn't play Earth in FL but personally I always felt she was mandatory as 1 just to be a big attacker.

[@DigitalxGamer]

In my experience, she was kinda necessary to put any kind of pressure on the opponent. Earth and Dark were basically inseparable when I played them xD

[@NickWuebker]

I'm kind of surprised the list Cimo used wasn't playing Fire. Her effect is kind of nuts .

[@Asako_Gaming]

@@NickWuebker Yeah, the deck he used was pretty bad to be fair. Wind is a terrible card as it's mandatory destruction equalling number of FL not up to number of FL. So if you have 2 out and they have one back row you don't get to pop it. That being said, as much as I love Fortune Ladies they were kinda crap even back then. no protection and no good spell / trap support outside of the draw power.

Fortune ladies suffer from the age old mess-up from konami, not giving them their good cards until like 2019. Fortune lady every, fortune lady past and fortune lady calling (could be a different name) make the deck pretty good. However at this point in history they are just for the anime. And only ever became relevent in Duel links.

They may be basing that play off of Edison Format, where, at that event in 2010, it was actually ruled to be an activated effect, and therefore that is how it is played in the modern version of the format.

12:05 - MBT never got his 1000 from Upstart. 1. We need a history of Tier 0. Can you do a video covering the tier 0 formats? ex. Tele-dad vs Zoodiac 2.

@@Lord_Phoenix95 Yeah, in Game 2 Alchemist was at 1800 from its effect - Cimo lives at 100, though with Allure just missing Fortune Lady Dark by 1 card and no targets for Fortune's Future, he was basically dead to rights.

[@17thArcana]

The lack of Fortune Lady Fire really hindered Cimo in the first game. Fire is alright in archetype removal for Fortune Ladies. One for One also makes getting to Light easier, as well as Rai-Mei, and Kinka-byo allows one to recur Light from the GY, especially when combined with the field spell. (and reuse the Lights for Fortune's Future). Usual win-cons from what I've seen is either big bungus damage with Earth or going into Aslla Piscu. The extra deck tech was an interesting take on the deck though.

[@shawnli4746]

Iirc Carly in the 5d's anime also used aslla piscu and comboed it with future visions

[@Pyrrha_Nikos]

I mean, Fire is a complete brick in most scenarios, and you can see in the games that because you draw so many cards you are guaranteed to draw the garnets (Alex even opened Water in all 4 openers, including the last one after game 3 was over and they were talking about the match), and the archetype had no way to special summon Fire or Water if not the Light + Future Vision combo, which does nothing if you draw them (that's still a problem with current FLs in 2022 btw). And, to be fair, drawing 2 is always better than the removal, considering you are left with a 400 atk monster that doesn't even have a good level line to go into the extra deck, so it's correct to not play it. Hell, I'd even argue about why play Wind. At first glance, she reads like a good card, if you don't have access to Light and need to clear backrow, but then you realize that she only works on normal summon and only destroys the exact same amount of backrow as FL monsters you have on field. So if you have 2, and your opponent has 1 backrow, she does nothing. I would have played 1 Earth just because she starts with ok stats that get out of hand if she's not dealt with immediately

[@NickWuebker]

@@Pyrrha_Nikos Earth's burn effect can also speed up the clock on your opponent, lowering the threshold needed for victory.

[@Pyrrha_Nikos]

@@NickWuebker I mean, yes, but it doesn't really matter. This early in FL's life, Earth beatdown is your only win con, and Dark is the backup plan in case your opponent outs it. If by any chance your opponent makes a 2001 atk monster turn 1, Cimo's list cannot win the game anymore

[@17thArcana]

@@Pyrrha_Nikos Yeah, Fire is a Garnet, hence why I'd only run it at one. Usually when I build Fortune Ladies (aside from the newest stuff), my ratios are 3 Light, 1 Fire, 3 Water, 3 Dark, 1 Earth. Wind can easily be replaced by some generic S/T removal. 3 Waters is pushing it, but it can suffice as discard fodder (One For One For example), and can be resurrected by Dark for draw power.

Episode 52? So next week is the 1 year anniversary of this series?!

[@Pyrrha_Nikos]

As a Fortune Lady player myself I can confirm that Cimo played the deck correctly at all stages. He lost to his own field spell, like one must. He plays 2 copies of Water and opened it IN ALL 3 GAMES or drew them before being able to summon them. He drew 15 cards in a single turn and drew nothing playable. Genuinely nothing to critizice, this is peak Fortune Lady gameplay

[@guldfacts]

Amen, for an archtype with 6 copies of pot of greed, 9 if you count spellbook of knowledge, they really show that draw power doesn't matter if your cards are trash

[@thegoodoldays911]

The fortune lady stuff seems good on paper until you realise that they don't actually like being banished it's just light that wants to be normal summoned with the field spell nor do they get anything off of being returned to the graveyard by fortunes future nor a reliable way to get to activate it outside of blowing a normal summon with the field spell up. The new support kinda helps shore up the sore points but not enough even though the synchro is pretty good

[@jamieclifton785]

Joseph didn't add the 1000 from Upstart Goblin, at the start of the very first game.

[@luish8056]

The only time I ever went up against fortune ladies was in a Master Duel match when they used its draw power to dig for Exodia.

[@roonloe]

Cimo said "this is crazy that I have do many cards in hand and I literally can't do anything"....if only he played a control deck

[@EduardoWeidmanBarijan]

As I don't know that much about Yugioh past formats, it would be nice to see some extra info (maybe in the end of the video) about which cards got released for the deck at the time. I didn't see the Fortune Lady Every, so I guess it was not released, but there were other Spellcaster cards for support, so it would be nice to see why some strategies were not used at the time. The wheel is a nice touch to get some RNG manipulation for the series

[@chimpmasterflex]

I used to love playing fortune ladies, while the downsides of no genuinely payoff and needing a turn or two to actually get going, I just really enjoyed the bouncing around with the field spell/traps, tagging in and out and stuff like the level manipulation. Felt they worked pretty alright with spellbooks though

[@Kirinmon]

Quickdraw Synchron does not start a chain, you cant chain MaxxC

[@mind.hemorrhage]

I remember when Fortune Ladies came out I ran a “pure build” that had no real extra deck aside from usual staples for Spellcasters , and the only extra monsters I ran were Catoblespas & the Witch of Fate, Marshmallon cuz I could, and some random Spellcaster Tuner cuz I needed to have 40 cards. My side board was what I usually used- stall and burn cards. I just played it during the tourney cuz my hubby n I bought the box and I wanted to try it out. I managed to place 2nd due to sheer dumb BEYOND Joey Wheeler levels of IDIOT LUCK. I beat out Dark Simorgh (bad hands for player), 2 Vayu Turbos (including hubby, basically burn damage from dualin’ Earth and Fire) and a Lightsworn who decked out twice cuz of Marshmallon. my ONLY loss was to my friend running Six Samurai.

[@HazeEmry]

No Fire NOR Earth? One is a card pop and the other is a beater you sorely need. Maybe it's because I played FL during 5ds era so I know this but a pop is way better than card draw that leads to nothing.

[@4Refros]

I love fortunelady, I used to play a spellbook fortunelady deck prejudgment. It wasn’t anything compedetive but it would hold its own at locals, the deck had a lot of draw power and spellbook of life has some synergy’s with fortuneladys by increasing levels. Future visions as also pretty backbreaking today a lot of strategy’s in that format especially with a fate in reserve.

[@juanpellicena]

Powerful of course meaning powerful for fortune ladies specifically

[@Rairiky]

Fortune lady is one of those decks that were(hell,are) thiiiiis close of being an insane engine thanks to water light and their new support just need a little extra push or a deck that plays well with other spellcasters(which quite rare surprisingly) This was fun!

I think its cost, so it would not trigger Light. Anything that does not help my Light I try to avoid putting into the deck (when it comes to removal; self or otherwise). I barely keep track of "if" vs "when" while reading cards so I could be wrong. An interesting tech spell I have considered is "Share the Pain" a norm spell that reads...
