I know these kind of videos probably take a lot of time, Coder. But I find those really enjoyable. Seeing you consistently play this well for an hour straight is a really fun experience. Don't only take my word for it, but I like this series a lot and would love to see a similar kind of format again in the future

[@annaxuldraugworc7832]

15:42 that Kashitra player really imperm, Big eye , and Ty-phon an unaffected monster without even thinking about wtf happened 💀 Master rank btw

[@garfrockbreadtroll]

icl, i still dont actually know how it was unnafected. was it the hop ear?

[@annaxuldraugworc7832]

@@garfrockbreadtroll no it was accel synchro's effect , your synchro monster summoned by its effect is unaffected by opp's activated effect

[@kusanagi-no-tachi5303]

​@@garfrockbreadtrollFun fact: Accel Synchro's effect to Special Summon OG Stardust counts as a Synchro Summon. If you have a level 2 Tuner and a level 8 monster except Accel Synchro, you can use its effect to Synchro Summon TWICE in a single effect, which will give you 2 unaffected monsters, one is a destruction negate and the other is a level 10 bullshit.

[@garfrockbreadtroll]

@@kusanagi-no-tachi5303 icl, i saw accel synchro, i thought of the og level 5 accel syncrhon lmao

[@DracoSenpai420]

When i cant out an unaffected monster, ill just keep targeting it out of rage instead of quitting, its more fun being like "MADA DAAAA! WITH THIS LIFE OF MINE, I WILL-!!!"

[@DeityofDestiny]

this video really does just summarize the master duel ladder experience get a hot winstreak, even with some games one had no business in winning, only to then loss streak into a derank vs the clown brigade

[@vaylantz_enjoyer]

I wonder how many cards need to get ban before he builds pendulum 🤔

[@CAT-l4v]

but he can only win one game with it. due to electrum being at 1, making it an easy ban for chat.

[@stamossarris7969]

​@@CAT-l4v i mean it is a swtback but not the ultimate hit

[@Sneakyeggs]

Every good card, so hundreds of cards🤣

[@Jyxero]

Reminder that Jord is a Pendulum

[@natetheknight2809]

9:34 “Little does he know… I was in the chef hat the whole time!” 😂

[@FrostReave]

I’m glad Distant seems to be having some fun again. When he got to Plat he seemed miserable in every highlight but the last 2 he seemed to have some good games.

[@ovelhadogelo]

Don't worry chat, we still have Plunder Patroll, Floowandereeze and Dragon Link. Can't wait to see them being played, or a new archetype.

[@Sevagox]

Very funny thumbnail and good video. Just wanna say this again that I enjoyed the ruling video and would like to see more. Yes, I’ve watched the DB judge calls lol

[@esrohm6460]

and in some deepest darkest depth some very ridged walking limb is weeping for seeing how the spaciatic beings also fail in this

[@Maczu_PIkczu]

I never expected to see Dark Magician on any banlist, and yet, here he is.

[@SyncroDubz]

bro i feel like stun always draws the cards they need, its crazy.

[@FrostReave]

It’s because they have dozen of instant win floodgates still at one. A lot of game warping ones at 3. And don’t even get me started with the staples. I don’t get why they didn’t ban skill drain and all the board clear floodgates just left them at 1

[@NgGuanYoong]

When the rank is master:

[@Jxstqn]

Raidraptors, hear me out. Maybe even Red dragon archfeind

[@studiobaguette7781]

ZARC ARTEFACT

[@ishmaelalvarez3837]

I was literally thinking the same thing because egg not red dragon archfiend with bystials

[@SC_Blast]

The idea behind wakaushi in snake eyes is that via super heavies you can make a rank 4 in the form of infernal flame banshee and search ash. Its just extra copies.

[@Themeir]

20:00 if that fire king player had original kirin at his deck he could have won Use garunix destroy fire king avatar kirin kirin effect send snake-eyes ash revive it with promethean princess and now he has access to subversion and full snake-eyes combo and that's why i use it in mine

[@Shiny_Plume]

48:05 Nonironically in the TCG you play two Snow Devil because you don’t mind seeing it in opener and for the grind. Maybe not as much in MD because Maxx C exists but playing two has started to become standard in some VS builds in the TCG.

[@Joseph-gy2rn]

Welp, time for Yubel, our second bigest enemy is gonna be the greatest ally in a dark time like this.

[@the1stmonarch686]

That's actually a very nice idea,But you have to be a pretty good Pilot for it to be fun.

[@crackedblack1410]

yea cuz you're really good at this game and smart

[@MartinDimitrov-c2b]

Best series ever

[@callumgambit9224]

The amount this man gets hit with called by you would have thought he plays ghost belle by now 😅

[@sangramos]

7:20 as a lair main this is sad but true lol

[@horn_hero]

Salamangreat also surprised

[@SamI-yq8oc]

Vanquish Soul has to play 2 Snow Devil because nobody scoops after the first one goes off

[@madpika6812]

So an idea is pend mags, the deck is hard to pilot, yes, but also doesnt need handtraps and the engine ia resilient enough to tolerate a couple of bans

[@sangramos]

He can still play lab. That’s how we played it before big welcome… even better with lady and arias. He could also mix it with paleo lol

[@islammohammed461]

how this man has those weak opnt and me in ranked only get block or yubel !!

[@Wangel-]

Half the video is snake eye duels

[@KixMusaid]

ghost ogre unironcally good

[@Muserist]

Coder got that streamer privilege playing drooling idiots in Master.

[@FecalMatador]

You don’t face these players because you are these players

[@Fainted-Ikaros]

I too play second snow devil 😅 it comes up way more often than you would think

[@anomals9692]

maxx c is a new bishbaalkin for coder lmao

[@Ribbonzarkuraspear]

Waiting for Coder to put Gorz in the deck 🤣

[@zahriks234]

Next move, get credit card burning and ur craft snake eyes fireking :D and u could still play brandon for at least 1 win

[@horn_hero]

I’m surprised he hasn’t whipped out unchained or Snake-Eyes yet

[@FrostReave]

As far as we know he doesn’t have Snake Eyes built

[@horn_hero]

@@FrostReave I mean yeah, by the could build it lol

[@tadijajo7644]

Next deck gotta be melffy

[@TheZCACK]

Try some traptrix ragnaraika. There is all the "C" cards for hand traps. Gravedigger trap hole to counter hand traps too. Seems like a good choice to rank up

[@Jyxero]

Shotout to Chain hole who counters both handtraps and negates

[@BDT17]

I wonder if he plays Kash at some point? You could totally swap out Shifter for Fissure

[@ManuelRiccobono]

41:11 why he said that imperm is not stopped by that combo? doesn't imperm still need the monster to be on field in order to negate it???

[@NightFoxZero]

How much longer till he gives into to the temptation of Bishbaalken strats? lol

[@FrostReave]

The banned Bishbaalken?

[@goshogoshev9672]

Are we saving unchained for the master one push 🤔

[@ASH3N_S]

FIRE ATTACKER AND IMPULSE? coder done pulled a MBT

[@Mannadium-riumheart]

If your just trying a lots of synchro decks maybe mannadium might work

[@FrostReave]

He had it built and learnt

[@Mannadium-riumheart]

​​@@FrostReaveHe made the vid before visas amritara and crimson dragon released the combos are completely different + he needs a good player to teach him becuase mannadium can die from 1 negate if you play it wrong

[@hyperrobot99]

Be a stun Andy bro!

[@gdfighter]

This video shows that sword soul is numero uno! Cant change my mind.....my girl mo ye

[@Despair209]

Wonder when he brings out tear,kash and etc.

[@kindklan8020]

when in doubt stun it out when is he gonna pull out the draco pal

[@Trinity_BLiGHTS]

Impulse for a hand trap? What is this, Dueltaining?

[@heftyjongle2958]

Naturia Horus Gaslight char into targeting Horus Reposition into naturia ragnaraika

[@gustavoheringer]

Correct play on the De-Rank game was Taia 100%

[@ColCoal]

CODER! Play Madolche Verny! It will get you the win!

[@J4fflez]

One thing I'd like someone to explain is how does ogre "negate" temple after it has already targeted the monster to special summon? Shouldn't temple still be able to SS the monster even though it's been destroyed or because its destroyed does that mean its not on field so it can't SS? It's always been something that's confused me.

[@emilianoflcn]

Haven't gotten that far into the vid but if by temple you mean the snake-eyes field spell you are correct. If the card wouldn't leave the field by resolving it then it must stay on the field through the resolution or it resolves for no effect. So a continuous, field, or equip card gets "negated" by ogre or mst

[@joaopottes9595]

Why the chengying no die?

[@diabellkay]

U said hi chat boys and girls and gamers where's the goblins ??

[@LexLuxray]

I'm happy I helped lead the Driver ban, I will always #protectprimera

[@niccolosalvetti1903]

I wonder why you are so worried, you still have yubel, kash, tearl, rescue ace and snake eyes all still full power. You can get it Ez

[@luccapaschoal3748]

If try that again, play drytron

[@lewishouse5945]

Ice barrier best deck

[@WallabyQT]

I've been loving this series, but I am not a fan of the bans that aren't meaningful, since it takes away from the spirit of the challenge.

[@bloodkl622]

He could play spiral

[@DeanoWeb]

These players are master btw

[@george_p99]

I think this "Maxx C" card should be banned

[@joshuasanchez9704]

Gaia

[@pochi_tama]

come and play rescue

[@frankartanis1290]

The Chat is really gaslightable. Kinda ok the first time they did it, but if they keep doing it, it defeats the purpose of this challenge.

[@justinalicea1590]

Not even close. There are way too many games required to reach Master 1 for chat to be distracted everytime from hitting cards the deck requires to function. And as Coder himself pointed out, hitting Driver is stronger than hitting Gamma because it turns off every Psy-Frame Handtrap. So while Coder was able to play Centurion for a little longer, it was at the cost of having no Psy-Frames that could have been relevant for future games.

[@connorbutcher6430]

Maxx c counter 3 thrust 1 heavy slump No balls

[@AngeloMarmolCarranza]

Why not just play stun

[@kylev777]

Try traptrix

[@SFWUxSavage]

How do you de rank to bronze I've only ever de ranked to silver unless I didn't play for a whole season

[@FrostReave]

You can’t de rank at all until Plat and you can’t de rank below plat. It’s just a thumbnail not a representation of the content

[@DrPippy]

wow I didnt know you could derank all the way back to bronze from platinum

[@lunarshadow5584]

Challenges really can show the issues of the games they're in.

[@FrostReave]

Such as? Don’t need to play a challenge deck to see Maxx C, Floodgates, Yubel, and SEFK are miserable problems.

[@lunarshadow5584]

@@FrostReave Good games always have extra thought put into its code that shows that even if the game can break, it has enough nets set up to be a fun mess. Speedrunning is a challenge that has found many unique interactions unknown till people tried, sometimes intentional sometimes a bug that made the game more interesting. Fighter Games are well known to have buggy mechanics that made themselves unique. Modern Yugioh is not that. Meta decks are made so overpowered that archetypes that've never reached master rank before never will because of hyper specific rulings that modern cards and archetypes were created to bypass. Doesn't help it that staples have become so generic that they can be added to every deck to increase the chances of success
