The History of Yu-Gi-Oh! Jank! #8

[@sophieapparently9399]

Absolutely love a deck being called Uria “Turbo” when the way you “turbo” it out is stalling for 10 turns until you draw it lol.

[@poisonedyoyo]

He's not even using proper cards for a Uria Turbo. There literally is a Pot of Greed card perfect for Uria Decks. Having trouble finding the name, but it lets you send a Continous Trap on yur side of the Field to the Graveyard to draw two cards. AND most of what Cimo is using in his deck is vomit to true Uria players. I am DISGUSTED that this really cool Yugioh card is treated like this.. I have long said that the most fun Decks in Yugioh are Uria and Skull Servant due to the ATK those monsters can reach,, and then this clown doesn't even know how to represent Uria properly, that is the most disturbing thing I have seen on this channel.

Here are today’s illegal actions: 25:08 MBT’s Heavy Storm should have also destroyed his face-down spell/trap but he just left it there instead 25:14 Mystic Tomato is plant-type and so is not a valid target for Dark Necrofear to banish Conclusion: The Heavy Storm illegal action didn’t matter because he left that card face-down the whole duel and never used it anyway. The Dark Necrofear summon however possibly mattered because it put a lot more pressure on Cimo and put him on a clock. But it’s hard to say for sure

Also mbt activated heavy storm in his main phase as a chain effect on Cimoo trap monster. Heavy storm is not a qp spell. He needs to heavy before Cimoo activate his trap. That technically won him the game while he shouldn’t be able to.

[@JamesNintendoTurd]

@@clorkmagnus If you are talking about 33:00, MBT asked if Cimo activated in Main Phase, so instead of going to the Battle Phase, he used Heavy Storm after Embodiment of Apophis resolved. Embodiment of Apophis was destroyed because it is still a trap even after it was summoned as a monster, and Heavy Storm destroys all Spell and Trap cards on the field, which includes trap monsters that are still treated as traps.

Not having Solemn Wishes in a Uria deck is pretty lame, yeah.

Also Needlebug Nest that helps get your Continous Traps in Grave. AND Mondter Reincarnation before you say, "But how will I get Uria back if it's in the Graveyard?"

At 16:11, Cimo could have chained Nightmare Wheel which breaks the targeting and causes Dark World Lightning to not destroy a card, meaning the second effect does not resolve (as it is a conditional then), meaning there would be no discard and no Dark World would be summoned.

[@andleepfarooqui7874]

This is an important interaction and is a big part of why Dark Worlds are bad

[@jasikshaw9309]

@@andleepfarooqui7874 You're correct but I wouldn't say bad, they just don't match up very well to decks that out-aggro them. Dark Worlds are really good against decks that are much more passive with plays like setting monsters. They also get better over time with cards like dealings and more fiend support like neosphere and gorz. They also work much better without traps because you can more proactively use spells to make your hand more primed for a card destruction or morphing jar.

[@yazanabbadi4247]

24:45 why did heavy storm turn into harpies feather duster? LOL I'd like also to note that Cimo almost forgor that they're playing under old rules so trap monsters would still occupy the S/T zone as well as the Monster zone. GG fun game, wished to see the Uria drop

[@zexionfan15]

I once made a "Uria Turbo" deck that was more... continuous traps that are also monsters. Was built more to defend the trap monsters as long as possible with Tiki Soul and Imperial Custom, and had some removal in the form of Tiki Curse. The deck was like 2012 but I really enjoyed it, and it did pretty well against two of the three top decks of the format I built it in (2012 Chaos Dragons and Inzektors with 3 Hornets and 3 Dragonflies). Only deck it struggled with was hand-loop Wind-Up. I ran Necrovalley for two reasons - first, to antimeta a little bit, and second because Cat of Ill Omen was a decent "set with the field active" to grab Imperial Custom and just have no monsters die for a decently long time. Deck is severely out of date; much more good backrow removal nowadays, including everything from Twin Twisters to Feather Duster. But it was fun for the time and worked shockingly well when Imperial Custom would protect my monsters from battle. Also since I special summoned most cards during opponent's turn, Pot of Duality and Cardcar D really didn't hinder my playstyle almost at all. So obviously I ran both. XD

Bad Reaction to Simochi deck- utilizing Bad Reaction to Simochi and several cards like Eye of Truth that gives you benefit while extremely hurting your opponent. The Gift trap also comes to mind for this 2. Level 1 attack- use a ton of level 1 normal monsters and combo with "Law of the Normal" and "Triangle Power" to OTK the opponent 3. A true Macro cosmos deck with a lot of OOP support.
