[@LegacyRetroFormats]

Thank you for watching

[@GLatinoMCY]

I don't know if you speak italian but, what do you think of the top4 list deck profile i posted on my channel? Even if you don't understand, look what he played. I wanna know an opinion from you.

[@LegacyRetroFormats]

I don’t speak Italian but I did see he was main decking mole and morphing jar

[@GLatinoMCY]

@@LegacyRetroFormats yeah, with main fissure. I think in this meta is a very good call

[@DarkSk8r903]

some light instrumental music in the background would be fire

[@LegacyRetroFormats]

Thanks for the tip I’ve been thinking about picking a song for background noise

@@LegacyRetroFormats u should make it be los saying activate return for game? On repeat

[@kuyagoldlink7563]

Agreed

[@stierkoe120]

Por qué pudi regresar a los gladiadores a pesar de estar la skill drain activada? 😮

[@LegacyRetroFormats]

Cost to activate the effect of gladiator beast to return to deck! Perdod se me olvida como escribir en español

[@DMCEagles05]

That synchro is very expensive now and was more used back then

[@LegacyRetroFormats]

I didn’t know

[@Zeromus5555]

Skill Drain was used too early.

[@Floatstonemafia]

maybe? It didn't affect the end of the game, and he straight up told me he had a bunch of GB cards in hand, so I didn't want him to respite again to unbrick his hand. It would have made the DAD drop able to pop stuff, but he would have had the solemn anyways so it didn't matter too much. I don't see much of a reason to not flip drain there even knowing the DAD drop might be coming. It just lets him find more ways to out the drain.

[@LegacyRetroFormats]

🤔

[@Zeromus5555]

@Floatstonemafia It shut down your Dark Armed. If he didn't have solemn it could have brought you back, but ya it didn't matter.

[@JmagsHero]

Totally pre-played him with setting double Bottomless early game!

[@theman226]

100% lol javi no joke so i get it

[@LegacyRetroFormats]

Locals everyone pre plays 😂

[@Floatstonemafia]

I actually did not pre-play him. I mind controlled and saw his set samnite. I was honestly surprised too, I did not expect a GB deck. It's actually why I set two bottomless instead of holding one, I expected him to flip samnite -> eat bottomless -> summon gb -> eat bottomless and I was in a good spot. I was not in fact in a good spot.

[@theman226]

@Floatstonemafia javi only plays 1 deck but if u did mind con then ya thts not pre play

[@Floatstonemafia]

@@theman226 I didn't know that yeah, so he set one set two and I mind con'd him on my first turn, saw the samnite, and my heart just dropped.

[@kuyagoldlink7563]

Mind con with no tuner, bro come on.

[@Floatstonemafia]

90% of sets in this format are ryko/hamster. If I don't mind con it, then my recruiters just get blown up for free and I never recover because now I'm behind like 2-3 turns to him with no real plays still trying to get the engine going. It's a standard play when you go second with zombies if you don't have anything that matches up well in to ryko like sangan/goblin zombie. It's not a great use of mindcon, but it's literally do or die when you go second into a ryko set if you don't have another play otherwise you just lose quickly to decks like vayu because you're so far behind on making a play while they start churning out plays. But otherwise, the only other outs zombies has to a possible ryko set going second is literally either just set backrow with no monster and pass, and hope they spend the ryko on the backrow, yolo ram the recruiter into it and take the L which loses to two backrow, or spend the mindcon to try to get control back. I just didn't know it was GBs until the exact moment I mind con'd it and saw the samnite.

[@LegacyRetroFormats]

I thought he pre played Javi I was wrong

[@theman226]

Cl1 would always be turn player optional or mandatory dont matter

[@JohnsonBoss23]

na - mandatory cl1 over turn player optional every time.

[@theman226]

@JohnsonBoss23 well duh im saying if turn player has optional and so does the opp Clearly mandatory overide it all

[@theman226]

@@JohnsonBoss23 optional vs optional mandatory vs mandatory its always turn player cl1

[@JohnsonBoss23]

@@theman226 ok - I think I misread and saw turn player optional goes over non-turn player mandatory.*
