Competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! Duels: Sky Striker vs. Crusadia Guardragon! (April 2019)

[@masterminer2338]

The irony of the Crusadia Guardragon player playing on a Sky Striker mat

[@thesaltking7355]

This is quickly becoming my favorite cimooooooooooo content!

[@coughy6100]

These videos are really helpful for someone like me who hasn't played irl ever in learning how you actually play the game irl

[@nolfan09]

Pretty sure in game 2 the crusadia player illegally resummoned crystal wing with monster reborn, as it was summoned off of agarpain originally. Didn't end up mattering in the overall result, just thought id point it out of either of them are watching

[@NickCamokidVisneski]

You're absolutely correct. It wasn't summoned proper

[@aaronphu6897]

nolfan09 where in crystal wings text does it say you have to originally synchro summon it and then you SS it off reborn and etc

[@MrListless]

@@aaronphu6897 it's just how EVERY extra deck monster works. It's a rule that applies to every non properly summoned extra deck monster, not just something specific to crystal wing.

[@aaronphu6897]

Kevin Kim huh I feel stupid now lol

[@NickCamokidVisneski]

@@aaronphu6897 It's not Crystal Wing, it's game mechanics. Monsters special summoned from the Extra Deck, or elsewhere that have a special summoning condition and cannot be normal summoned/set, have to be special summoned via their mechanic and the summon must resolve. Otherwise it wasn't properly summoned.

[@ASIANBATMAN6321]

I love watching competitive matches but these videos reminds me how extra casual I am at this game 😂

[@YukiKitty]

He couldn't summon crystal wing with reborn! It wasn't properly summoned first...

[@AMV_KINGDOM_mv]

I though i was the only 1 lol

[@ctabares77]

then just simply summon saryuja just for the attack and it’s still game

[@YukiKitty]

@@ctabares77 Crystal Wing was able to negate Raye in grave so I'm not sure if with Raye live it still would've been enough damage

[@darkutopia2711]

Yeah, as soon as I saw him use the Reborn, I went back to make sure he didn't synchro it out, and sure enough...

[@magicsaviola]

I was just saying the same!

[@DuelingDexperts]

in game three he should not have been able to use that second strike to negate spatha since black dragon would have been cl2

[@Mightymo1990]

I really love your new commentary vids. Not only that you're a skilled commentator but also it helps me and newer players who aren't frequently at major events get into the game on a deeper level. I think ygo pro commentary is not the same. So thank you and keep it up

am i the only onw who wants that adorable little sky striker play mat lol

[@Skyscraper188]

You know, when someone keeps shuffling their hands like this they probably think they are cool when it's the exact opposite.

[@benthehobo5833]

Just hold the damn cards!

[@louischandler4611]

i just do it because im highly fidgety, and i need something to fidget with to concentrate properly, so it just helps me. that might be the way with a few other people, but the other reason is it helps conceal the hand, as if you see something get added, you lose track of where it is. then everybody who wants to play meta copies this behaviour

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

It helps people think and pass the time. Same thing as people tapping their pencil or foot when taking a test. They aren't doing it to look "cool."

[@JoJoHakusho_]

Deck profiles are nice and all, but its videos like this that are great for teaching people how to actually pilot a deck

[@FernandoLopez-hk4gs]

This is real content!

[@Mclearmountain]

At 5:20 after Guardragon Pisty allows Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon to be Special Summoned from the Banished Zone, how is the player allowed to use Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragons effect to Special Summon 1 Dragon type monster (Crusadia Draco) from his Graveyard? Red Eyes clearly states on the card “Once per turn:” even though Cimo says it isn’t a hard once per turn... just wondering how he got the Crusadia Draco back out on the field. Sorry coming back to the game after a long hiatus. Trying to understand since I just built Guardragon Crusadias.

[@alphanightmare802]

If a monster says "once per turn" and not "you can only use this red-eyes metal dragon effect once per turn" you can reuse it if you summon it again

[@Mclearmountain]

alphanightmare THANK YOU

[@domenickpomponio2438]

How can I make a sky striker deck? I’m getting back into the game, what would I have to buy?

[@jamescorbishley5696]

Skystriker are very expensive. 45 dollars for one engage and you have to play 3 of them.

[@mtgnerd99latino66]

I would also like to point out that at the 19:08 mark skystriker player also cheated. He wasn't supposed to be able to special summon the raye off area zero being he was in control of elpy which states only dragon monsters can be special summoned which raye is not.

[@Oscar-b5b4x]

Top 5 rogue decks for april?

[@mtgnerd99latino66]

Can someone explain how he was able to special crystal wing off monster reborn when it was never properly synchro summoned? From my understanding if a monster weither ritual, fusion,xyz, synchro, or link aren't properly summoned via their summoning condition their not able to be special summoned from the graveyard.

[@UlquiorraxKonan]

I thought Clear Wing can only negate and destroy when a Level 5 or higher monster activates its effect? So how did it pop Hayate?

[@lordofgarbageprogenitoroft4147]

He made crystal

[@Yugiohdeckmaster41]

Once per turn, during either player's turn, when another monster's effect is activated: You can negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that monster, and if you do that, this card gains ATK equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK until the end of this turn. If this card battles a Level 5 or higher monster your opponent controls, during damage calculation: This card gains ATK equal to the current ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling during that damage calculation only.

[@UlquiorraxKonan]

@@lordofgarbageprogenitoroft4147 aahh I thought I heard clear wing

[@sho3003]

Why crusadia guardragon played crystal wing instead of hot red dragon archfiend abyss?

[@Ludwing_]

Sho Marufuji456 Crystal Wing is probably better in this matchup

[@sho3003]

@@Ludwing_ hot red dragon archfiend abyss can negate engage because it is a quick effect

[@josegonzalezw7167]

Wasn't Elpy and Shizuku pointing at the same zone on game 3?? Missplay

[@MrListless]

Nope. Look again

[@blinky_52]

Elpy points left so it isnt pointing to same zone as shizuku

[@ryouichisano06]

Team Endgame represent!!

[@boazhernandez-kosche1841]

Neither one shouted out team endgame XD

[@hydra1346]

Anybody else note how bad the crusading guardragon player was? He was literally playing wack-a-mole with his negates and didn’t see that hamate was summoned to main monster zone. If he let the guy send engage he could have stopped Kagari and prevented Shizuku from searching engage during ep anyways.

[@shakeweller]

Why do people call decks like Striker and Salamangreat "fair" when they have that much recursion and negates in form of roar\strikes and 10+ Handtraps?

[@KingFabz]

They are more "fair" because you generally can respond to their ending boards. They are really consistent decks, but the power ceiling is much lower as a result. For example, the guardragon player put two negates and over 8k damage on it's end board, admittedly he didn't manage to win, but usually that's enough to win. The sky striker player had a couple negates each turn but never had more than 2k damage each turn (apart from the dogoran and borrelsword). Similarly, salamangreats will nearly always end on two negates and a weak link monster that can survive one battle. On top of that, both crusadia and SS can have all their negates turned off by being kaiju'd as both decks have interruption dependent on specific boards (Salamangreats need one of their links to use roar, sky strikers can't have a monster in the main monster zone).

[@shakeweller]

@@KingFabz I'd be gone with those decks if they didn't have the room for so many Handtraps floodgates or strikes. Decks like Cyber Dragon, BA and similar simply dont have small enough consistent engines to pull that off. I find the consistency of Striker and Salamangreat too strong as well as their small engines

[@Jhawk2711]

Cuz compared to the top decks of 2018 were super unfair, so Striker is better in comparison

[@shakeweller]

@@Jhawk2711 so... "at least it's not an FTK".... sounds like a Trauma

[@dooms_terror4977]

Game 3 when spatha got striked was a massive misplay on crusadia player. Should of done chain 1 spatha chain 2 collapserpant to protect himself

[@MrShorttj]

That doesn’t matter, we must remember strike can also neg summons

[@pvidales05]

another thing he could have just summoned the the shizuku zone to avoid that as well but either way strike would hit it

[@PaladinfffLeeroy]

3 Spatha????!!! Am I missing something??? I have been playing Crusadia since it came out and to be honest I still think the deck is better going second with some Mekk-Knights in there but 3 spatha???????? Not even regulex???What??? And running into a brick with Crusadia is impressive. How many of the tiny chaos dragons was this player running? I have bumped down their numbers because they brick too goddamned much. Best thing, in my opinion, about the guardragon part of this build would be running kyoutou waterfront and gameciel. 2 negates can be baited out easily but 6 negates, now that's where the nutting begins.

[@ClassicDura]

Oh man I was cheering game 3 and then the Strike hit D:

[@davidcarroll5354]

As someone who only watched DM and GX, I gotta say I'm conflicted. I think it's cool to see all these combo plays, but I dont understand any of it. Also I think its bullshit if players win a game turn 1, and shitting out 30 billion monsters in 1 go is absurd. I like the channel and its crazy to see what became of yugioh, but how tf is anyone supposed to get back into this game?

[@AlanDarkworld]

This just isn't fair. Multirole and engage need to go, seriously. This is spellbook of judgment all over again, except even worse.

[@PaladinfffLeeroy]

Hey, Trunade and Sky Striker dies instantly to an Equimax oneshot. Too bad people are not even playing the card it seems. Just stupid if you ask me.

[@soulygo1685]

Could be wrong but I’m pretty sure savage only negates and doesn’t destroy. In game 2 on the first multi role he negated and the ss player put it in the gy. Either way, love this content! Thanks cimooo

[@JustJules250]

If you negate the activation of a S/T card it doesn't properly hit the field, so it goes to the GY. It's similar to a summon being negated.

[@nick2000720]

Sky Strikers may be the best deck but if you stop them using their spells, they cannot play.

thats not saying much as at a local the amount of good players (ycs level) can vary and depending on how good he was with the deck how many mistakes they made ect would determine on how good your skills are i mean congrats on beating a sky striker deck but even the best deck suck if played by a not so good player (one who not learned its ins and out)

[@PaladinfffLeeroy]
