Deck Profile: Hero Beat Top 4 YCS Long Beach

[@thespreadingdiseasee]

this deck is amazingly well thought out. im building a varient of it and i really appreciate how in depth you go with the uses of all of the cards, as well as the pros and cons against certain matchups. thanks for the great content, and congrats on top 4!!

[@schoolkid1001]

love this video with your in depth explanation of why you chose each card backed by true reasons instead of the bs explanations or half ass job most yugi tubers normally do. congratulations and keep the videos coming. great job! really appreciate it.

[@Jigsaw135]

Awesome build man, don't feel bad that you lost, the guy who beat you ran an excellent tech build (Gellenduo is a pain) plus he drew pretty nuts, i watched the match and you deserve that top 4, your win is on its way!!

[@Teh1AnnOwnLeeByukk]

Dude, you are freaking amazing. This is honestly my 7th time coming back to this video.

[@MrDonnie54]

This video made me a better player. thanks Joe, you're the best player right now.

[@lSomeRandomGuyl]

Hey man I just have to say that when I read some of your feature matches I saw E-call and Dark Bribe and was immediately turned off. I have been a HERO player for quite some time now so I know how the cards flow etc. After hearing you talk and your explanations for your main/side I have really come to appreciate your way of thinking. Just wanted to let you know that you have another supporter. Subscribed. Good luck Joseph Giorlando.

[@04prosoccer]

Awesome deck profile!! Congrats on toping top 4... I also saw you play some duels on the ycs long beach :)

[@vuk5475]

That's 10k euro prize card now, wow

[@BlackOPsOwnage36]

Nice deck build just a few questions 1. why no bubbleman 2. How does this deck fair against other heroes and dragons 3. Wouldnt you use evocator chevalier instead of endymion because it is a fire target for nova master

[@TehNsider]

Evocator Chevalier instead of Crusader? Crusader is the only card choice I disagree with; Evocator is Rota able, is also a Gemini Spark target, and can make Nova Master if you need him to. I understand the need to go Shining, what with the synergy and he gets with Miracle Fusion, but do you think it was really worth running over Evocator? Nova Master plays are pretty good, too.:p But yeah, thanks for some excellent insight, I've been playing this deck for about a month now..lovin it

[@Liquidlnsanity]

subbed, you did a great job of explaining all your choices, great content and grats on the top 4

[@LuffyLaxer]

Honestly, I thought this was a copy-cutter Miracle Fusion Version. I was kinda right. But you actually explained the deck well and made me proud to be a hero player. Congrats on Fourth player. Take a look at my deck when you get the chance. I might take it to YCS philly. I did pretty good with it at the regional. Honestly, I would just play my deck over this, but this could be played on DN. No hand traps is pretty risky, but for you it was a well taken risk. Again Congrats.

[@deruneldembal5048]

I hope you see this joe. I really want to know which deck box that is back there. I thought tjey were stylish. Maybe u will respond 😇

[@YGOHistory]

It is called Moonloght Cradle. It appears on eBay from time to time but is otherwise rather rare.

[@deruneldembal5048]

@@YGOHistory thank you so much man you are my lifesaver. Are there similar deck boxes you used or some as stylish as this? It just feels like 2010s ygo vibes. So pretty

[@YGOHistory]

@@deruneldembal5048 I still use this deck box lol. I've used the same SpellGround, deck box and calculator case for about 12 years.

[@deruneldembal5048]

@@YGOHistory i figured that haha. I really need this deck box or a similar one. If u got a recommendation hit me up😂. Btw big fan of your channel. Keep it up!!

[@YGOHistory]

@@deruneldembal5048 If you search "anime double deck box" on eBay - a few in this style appear.

[@itsjoshtitus]

I am pretty impressed with your build and explanation enough to play the deck myself, but no future fusion for inzektor match up? I'm thinking of it over the second ecall for easier fusion and hero blast. Would you consider playing it?

[@LightGruntyGaming]

Congratulations on your Top 4 last weekend. This was a very insightful video, and I think that you really deserved the success you've achieved. By the way, this is that Nordic player that you beat in Round 7. Even though I've read your articles on Alterealitygames, I didn't recognize who your were at the time. Guess I was a little too tired, LOL.

[@thehsushoe]

I really like running top tier decks like this, sure my decks aren't rared out but seeing the deck in action I think is awesome!

[@TobeyFairre7861]

Glad to see you doing well in the tourney man.

[@zarfies23]

I tried to play chalice in heros last format didn't do much. But what I did do I want you to share your thoughts on lance its made my alius more of a threat of cydra utopia ect and bring them down to our size.

[@Luke96Green]

I love that orange deck protectors. One question what website (if any) did you buy those protectors and your cards? Or do you just open a lot of packs? Brilliant video, great deck, I hope to build something similar!

[@Magiccircle100]

Someone give this guy a medal for using dark bribe, bravo man, bravo.

[@Zeromus5555]

If you don't have Skill Drain, what changes would you make to the deck? Trap wise and monster wise. Thanks Joe! And Congrats man! Your time is soon. :)

[@TheFluffyPorcupine]

you sir, deserve to win a ycs. you are quite possibly the smartest yugioh player and take EVERYTHING into account while building a deck.

[@Ronc137]

Curious about you decision of using Crusader over Evocator... They're both 1900 Gemini, but Evocator has the luxury of being a fire element which can make the Nova Master play as well as being a warrior which can be another RoTA target. Was it ruled out of the final build for a specific reason or just simply looked over

[@ArmityleCard]

This is one of the decks that I actually have hard time using, its great since your learning the proper timing to use the effects, compared to Inzekts, DinoRab and Windup this is probably one of the YCS decks that actually would take some skill to use IMO

[@rotondoss]

have you thought about a evocator for a nova master target?

[@Team3NVOY]

I had the same question and tested it for a while. CRUSADER MAKES SHINING

[@Ajaxslayer2]

i really wanna take part in a YCS heh im just curious though do people bring their trade binders with them to these events?

[@DBSDoolist]

cos u can use crusader for the shining play which is a better play then nove master anyway?

[@GreenSscythe]

Can i recommend the purchase of a Tri-Pod? lol Nice deck

[@ShadowKurupt]

the geminis in this deck are 1900 beaters but theyre are targets for spark and hero blast which makes them dangerous

[@TiScorEagle]

Can you do a vid on how to play against the DW match up with this deck?

[@ro0quin]

Just gg ; ) It's too badto loose against DW with this deck :/ How many time did you play DW last week-end?

[@YourYugiohGuide]

Hey ygotrader what would you change to this deck after sept 1. When pod are semi limited = lower consistency

[@oscar54321]

what would be in his extra deck?

[@JinTGC]

No Photon Thrasher? He gives you more light targets (For Shining) and if skill drain is on the field while he is, he can attack no matter what. He can also help you go into Blade Armor Ninja more often and he is searchable by RoTA.

[@noz48a2]

Have you thought about Photon Thrasher?

[@SmellYoJello]

Goodness, the whole concept with Skill Drain with Barbaros just gives any stun deck a great advantage.

[@KaizenYuGiOh]

Awesome decklist! So whack they gave you 4th place without a chance for 3rd. Congrats to all you accomplished and for your humble atttitude. If any of you have a chance take a look at my profiles, and any advice would be HUGE!

[@Ler_tactical]

Man I would like to know how was your experience as yugi competitive player in the past years. It was another world compared to modern yugioh and I would like to know your thoughts about your trip as old school player P. S. I love hero beat, that's a great profile

[@YourAvgDreamer]

at my locals and from what i hear, chaos dragons are still played so thats worth keeping in mind. as for inzektors, i know they are a still relevant deck that you will end up playing at a regional or ycs no doubt. and on the wind up note, now that i think of it, veiler or maxxxc are the best choices.

[@EnvoyArmageddon]

i assume you use shining and stardust but what other monsters do you have in your extra deck?

[@Mjaco51]

What did u do to change this deck after the tournament?

[@BlackOPsOwnage36]

maxx c would be alright against inzektors because of dragon fly and zektcaliber means you can draw at least 2 so plus one and it makes them not want to continue so it protects your plays.

[@MooseHeads99]

will you continue to play heros?

[@YourYugiohGuide]

Awesome video bro! But why run crusader? I don't get it

[@Da1nstantClassic]

Hey just wondering what would change in the main and side to prep for hieratics?

[@Pasqwalle]

GG's Joe. Not gonna lie. Still REALLY bummed about our match (I am the idiot ran into your Dark bribe playing TGs)......... I easily coudla taken that into Game 3....Anyway. Glad you went so far.

[@Ronc137]

But there are already Shining targets with Thunder king and the best Shining play to make in that deck anyway is Stratos and Alius so you get them back. I'm guessing he had honest in there first and then took it out for crusader because it was another light not acknowledging the other gemini targets that were playable.

[@Leclwrd]

uhh... is there a part 2 or something?

[@Gh0stBustaz11]

I don't know if you would respond to this, but do you think HERO beat is competitive for this format?

[@Phan211]

I LOVE this deck. It's definitely one of the coolest deck ever.

[@Its_2d]

So does shining miss timing when it is getting gemini sparked? I looked up the ruling for gemini spark and it says that the destruction and the drawing resolve at the same time?

[@TheBreaker4444]

u could try siding summon limits, i side 3 and it works great

[@WoPrulez]

Did you have any matchups against GK's?

[@OnlineDuels]

Crusader is there for any time to buff honest, or use it for elemental hero the shining.

[@BOOMHEADSHOT033]

what was the card that you won? in that trophy??

[@Jayce1712]

Wheres the extra deck cards?

[@pheano]

I'm not done watching but very good break down of the deck.

[@NsyteIcyShadow]

are your hero blasts in a different language? if so they allowed that?

[@SuperBunnyPlayer]

What can replace crusader? please answer i have locals tom.

[@AIexhn]

Crusader is Light Chevalier is a Warrior In this case, Shining is really important and what would you rather have? Alius and Crusader or Alius and Chevalier in grave?

[@HanzoFan3000]

sooooo good, man :) I'm so glad someone you topped without rabbit

[@xNaturemasterx]

What would you replace for Snowman-Eater and for Chalice?

[@RileyBertrandSquats]

is that a 1st edition ultimate rare crusader of endymion or is it an ultra?

[@Teh1AnnOwnLeeByukk]

Well, if you were running a evocator chevalier, you could pull that with a ROTA, and get nova master next turn. Not so sure on this build though (Crusader of endymion).

[@MrBakaVlogs]

& the extra deck???

[@brycemiller831]

this is just a guess, but i believe it be because people would THINK he has honest when he really doesn't, which helps with the stress and mind game factor of yugioh, also he can more consistently fuse shining

[@palams7861]

advanced deck build is advanced. Good build and good video

[@xthattguyx]

whats your opinion on Inzektors?

[@dylanfrost6865]

okay not trying to be mean or sound like noob ygotrader101 but this deck only runs like nine monsters is it realy that good?

[@TeamProFTK]

i Played a deck like this like 2 formats ago! then i left the game like 2 months ago and now i come back to the game and heroesd are like big! omg! :D!!

[@Vintage_86]

Only question... why run endymion over chevelier???? The rest od the deck is as consistent as it gets

[@DeathnoteRulez4]

what do you play in your extra deck?

[@Jaku939]

when would you use hero blast against rabbit?

[@flipaznboy10]

what would you put in when playing against chaos dragons/dino/inzektors?

[@JoshuaBacon99]

I like how u think sir. haha congrats on getting top 4!

[@BlackOPsOwnage36]

is it me or my computer cos the when i scroll over the red time bar for the vid the pictures are at the worng point

[@fateric007]

Congrats on the top. It's nice to see heros get in there. You plan on making any changes?

[@OmGvNiKvGmO]

Your answer is run all normal monsters, just saying the have an allure, and skill drain works best with them, and justi break is a mirror force for normal monsters at 3. I have this deck and its actually really good and fun.

[@summoningslifest]

would u replace the warnings now that priority is gone?

[@jciq]

the deck is so consistent it doesn't need one

[@BlackOPsOwnage36]

what other prizes do yu get

[@OTKblackwing]

What synchro card is that?

[@NBAPwns13]

are you Joseph Giorlando ?

[@zarfies23]

I also didn't like how honest 5 backrow clogged and it added with chainable cards and uknown factors that my opponent must weigh in when attacking me

[@angellapayre6764]

And the extra deck?

[@YGOGerman]

how you come on zero in this deck you ppay no water monster`?

[@TTW378]

why no Mystical Space Typhoon?

[@chaoshexer96]

good job joe, get your tops to double digits

[@pakinthepunch]

What's the last monster called?

[@Teh1AnnOwnLeeByukk]

It annoys me whenever I draw barbaros and skill drain, having to wait a turn until I can activate drain. Or whenever I draw skill drain, but no barbaros, and vice versa.

[@charleseladas]

why d prison instead of bottomless trap hole?

[@lordmackery]

Why not Evocator Chevalier over Crusader?

[@YourAvgDreamer]

i was not talking about maining this card, i was just stating it is worthy of being put into the side deck lol

[@KingofTrey]

damn top 4 of the largest card tournament in history sounds like 1st place any other weekend, the win is definitely coming.

[@YGOGreatTornado]

@bobulator66 But he wasn't running honest thou so what b the point?

[@ninjadude5011]

Why does everyone use Crusader over Chevalier? Someone please help id like to know.

[@Rixuko]

why not use chevalier instead of crusader since chevalier is searchable with ROTA.......??

[@bleachonepiecakias]

you beat a dino rabbit,inzectors and wind-up?

[@guylaroche5]

i like chevalier over crusader. same thing except you trade the shining for nova master but gain a rota target/blade armour target
