ELEMENTAL HERO 2020 COMPREHENSIVE DECK GUIDE - Decklist, Fundamentals, Combos, Strategy, Test Hands

[@RobertoBlanco232]

In terms of feedback: - Some minor editing in terms of listing the starters (by name) on the screen might be nice - I know you say them over and over, but the visual confirmation is nice for people new to the deck (I personally had this problem learning BA, they look and sound pretty damn similar). Similarly listing the 'question' (i.e. Who Am I Normal Summoning) on screen could be handy. - I've seen some profiles do test hands under the assumption that the opponent has a negate/handtrap - i.e. roll a dice on a chokepoint (evens to negate, odds to let go, for example) and see how the deck plays through it. I personally like this trend, maybe you can do 1 test hand with that too. - Similarly, a hand if you're forced to go second? Maybe discuss side-deck cards as well when you know you will be going second - Maybe list some cards that just about didn't make the cut but warrant experimentation? You noted Trinity because its a going second card, are there any other cards like that?

We definitely need more of this every time i try to find resources on how to actually play a deck it's always just a bunch of epic cool 360 no scope ftk ygopro compilations and actually has nothing to do with showing how to actually play the deck.

[@lightman9935]

@@blvck_noir91 im just stating a fact there buddy also i know what he is talking about which is wrong too because there are plenty deck profiles tutorials etc on how to play this specific deck and im pretty sure there is for the majority of the popular decks

I feel ya. I try watching teamSam and a lot of his words justenduprunningintoeachother something like that. Also I kind stopped watching him when he said honest neos can be a target for rainbow neos

[@BlastGamingSaia]

@@lightman9935 that may be true in a mild few cases but ask your self this, how many actually go into detail, while step stoning into card:a can be used with card:b in order to pile drive out card:x with quick examples like that a deck profile isnt as helpful, i agree with baragon in that aspect and yes there is a solid number of profiles out there for the meta but i mean even those dont break down like this 70% of the time, even when you commented on this is wasnt any better back then, and honestly first time finding MBT but he does a good job at the set up, execution, and detailing inbetween

[@GizmekGalaxy]

Didn't know the Duel Academy hired MBT as a teacher. Jaden vs Joseph when?

[@lordmitschke6303]

that feeling when joseph is gonna loose against flame wingman cause of plot armor

[@riedenstien9799]

It's the man who makes the good videos

[@utterlyj1277]

Yes, more of these please, but only when you're comfortable with the deck. It's clear you know a ton about heros which really makes it worthwhile. I wouldn't want to see you put out a sub par guide on a deck you're not super familiar just for the sake of content, those are dime-a-dozen on YugiTube already.

[@knowing1399]

And no, "why did I spend $900 on a Tier 3 deck?" is not the right question. I got the hiccups from laughing at this.

[@JacobKendrick]

One important thing that has come up in my time playing HERO's is don't be afraid to use the hand effect of dynatag, it has saved me a lot of times by allowing me to survive a boosted borrelsword and after they have expended all of their resources to OTK you, you just combo off and kill them on your next turn. I personally like going second and I have found a lot of success with it using super poly and forbidden chalice to easily break boards and being less susceptible to nibiru, super poly, evenly, lightning storm etc... But if you are going first just don't use all of your resources, sure it's nice to end on dark law, plasma, dystopia but if they drop a nibiru on you, GG, no recovery. I tend to try and leave a malicious in grave so that next turn my increase can set itself and tribute the final malicious getting vyon, pitching shadowmist and then getting combo again on your next turn.

[@CorruptNeo]

[@YeahTheDuckweed]

@Thias176 didn't i agree with you tf you on about

[@michaelsantangelo1875]

As good as the combo is. Any good first turn meta board is gonna negate the polly or the mask change making your combo useless and the effect of absolute kinda pointless in the end. Sure going first it can help blow a field if your opponent dosent see it coming which....well games 2 and 3 that combo is basicallt dead

[@Haooryu]

You broke me with E - Call part, and i cannot tell whether that was sarcasm or you were being serious

[@hyrule4326]

I'm not a big hero fan but i wanted to come here and say thanks for adding more content like this for more decks. I've only ever seen this done for lunalight and igknights and it's such a valuable resource to the community. I feel like videos like these really help those less experienced players, like myself, understand things that otherwise they wouldnt see themselves. I hope this video influences others to make more videos like this.

[@Gameboy_07]

6:37 Since Celestial is the only valid target in the deck, Dystopia's burn ends up being 1600 either way, but the damage is equal to the ATK of the targeted monster, not its level times 400.

[@letsgodigiv5615]

Celestial in my opinion is not needed the draw 2 cards the next turn is not needed. Not only that, but it's another brick In the deck.

Turned out to be more engaging than I thought. I really like deeper discussions about deck building and strategy. As long as there are other decks that you could speak about at the same level, this type of video could return. Otherwise it's just a longer ten minute testing.

[@SirEmanon]

Glad to see you're putting your own take on detailed-oriented content! As you mentioned, I think it's vitally important to have a library of resources for players to be able to access, and it's something that's painfully lacking on YugiTube right now. Hopefully we can change that! Great work! :)

Mealy nice video. The main problem I have when learning a deck isn't how the combos work, but what exactly you should be focusing on when planning a turn, this helps a lot.

[@karlkhai51]

Do more of this. It very informative compared to other things.

[@eliasontiveros4297]

I really like the video! It's tough finding guides on how to play decks; most of the time you infer the combos through replays, mentions in deck profiles, or trial-and-error, but this really explains the strategy well. I'd love to see more of these videos for other archetypes, and also maybe include a section for how to beat the deck and its weaknesses

Joseph, I love your video, you have a great view of the deck, and an interesting input! But there is a very key combo that you may be unaware of

I do like the basicness of this deck is the a good replacement for the third malicious to still end combos that require all three

[@awaissohail8787]

I really like these discussions video so I can learn all these interesting combos as a person who watches the game but does not play. One thing to add, if possible, when discussing the cards would it possible to add a image to the side so those of us who dont know every effect of each card can take time to read and understand. Great work as always

Glad you get to commentate combos at regular speed rather than the blood pressure spiking speed in the TMTs

[@aaronaaronson8312]

Hey MBT, great video, I'm always happy to see more long form in-depth discussion and HEROs are my deck of choice at the moment as well. One small thing; Dystopia's burn effect simply deals damage equal to that target's ATK, although all of the relevant targets are 1600 anyway.

Would love to see these for as many decks as possible! As a newer player I really need to get better at learning when to use my interruptions. Heroes are very heavily played at my locals and I misplay around them a lot by not understanding where/when is the best time to stop their combos.

I love this comp deck guide I HOPE you have/do more

[@treckey6563]

That was super cool! I'd love to see this become a regular thing!

[@alexanderevans6767]

I really enjoyed this. I hope this becomes fits into your regular upload schedule. For recommendations: -Is there a way to do the decklist online? it is easier to follow along with card effects that i'm new to with the bigger card display on screen. The live hands and explanation was great but maybe switch to it after introducing the cards. As I personally am super casual as I only play legacy of the duelist due to time, money, and access constraints I actually had to look up a good majority of the cards. As i figure these are for newer or less experienced players, It would probably be helpful to at least be able to read them in video before going into all of the combos. That being said your explanation of relevance and use of cards was great. -You mention it being a tier 3 deck and such maybe a overview of this game in the meta such as good match ups, bad match ups, deck weaknesses, strengths, what tier it is. You said it throughout the video and explained why very well. Just for the sake of review or a quick visual reminder if one is to come back to the video. -If these become a regular thing, which I hope they do, a poll deciding for what comes next? There might not be a lot to explain but I personally want you to do a deck guide on Sub-Terror Guru Control.

[@rsktcg3739]

I would love to see more of this in the future. Keep up the good work.

We definitely need more vids like this. Do Pure Lunalights next. They can be budget (around $200) compared to making your landlord angry.

[@omegax45-alexander65]

This is honestly the best video you made

[@GK_Lucy]

When I have Stratos and Faris and I tend to sacrifice Stratos to Increase and then banish that Stratos for Vyon. That leaves Faris in the Graveyard in case I need it for Dark Calling, because Bane needs a level 5 or higher. Most of the time there will be the last Malicious or another Fusion in the graveyard, but you never know.

You actually don't, mask change just has it as a special summon not specifically fusion summon and liquid soldier needs to be part of a fusion summon so really only when using him for sunriser or absolute zero would have been nice tho

Dian was OK for me too but I cut him IMO he was kinda gimicky and conflicts with dlaw I also run draw hand instead of celestial

[@jacobemerson4749]

I'm praying for 2 things regarding Heroes. I'm praying for an "Elemental Hero Gas Soldier" to complete the triangle and I'm hoping it'll do something to give you an additional normal if its special summoned, allowing you to utlilize all 3 Soldiers in a single turn. Second, the one I feel is more realistic is the main deck Masked Heroes from the manga. Firstly, I hope they don't all end up being vanillas, but I don't see konami actually doing that. If we get Masked Heroes in the main deck, Contrast Hero Chaos becomes 100% live and is, as we all know, summonable off of Miracle Fusion. Sunrise has made that easier. Now we just need the tools and we have the negate that Heroes so desperately need. Imagine ending on a board of Decimator, Chaos, Dark Law, and Plasma, and Sunrise. Hell, Bane being there is feasible too. I did a fun little test on an app where I just used the vanillas as they were, and ended on boards like that every single time. God help us if they have even decent effects.

[@manuelalcala2309]

Don't forget to consider Elemental hero mariner as it's a level 5 water hero monster off the instant fusion. Also easier to get to acid. Mariner can go into volcasaurus with faris... for Nibiru otk burn :/ (I do that in mekk- knight hero otk) But also realize you won't be able to volcasauras and use Crusader in the same turn. also easier to get to acid... lets be honest about that hero lives... 2-3 nibiru and 3 ash are never gonna let it resolve... But when it does :0 lol great tips. I love Mekk-Kight hero Otk 3 super poly's mained XD always blind 2nd :)
