The goat making an appearance

[@asterii_]

hey, this guy handlooped me for 3 and my life savings!

[@GriffinRB]

Congrats Chris! So happy you could take Mermail to FIRST PLACE!

[@ThisNameWas]

ah the classic pick up a card, put it down, tap the card, pick it up again, put it down, tap it again deck profile lol

[@Vades]

he made have had some nerves making the video which explains his fidgeting

[@ookamigenji-pv2st]

Just how we love them. Wouldn't be YGO without the obvious ADHD/Ocd-adjacent mannerism, cloth mats and unfathomably expensive pieces of cardboard :')

[@ThisNameWas]

@@Vades every deck profile is like this usually lol. It’s just what people do when they’re thinking, no big deal, just funny.

[@traplover6357]

Ngl, it's good asmr, handling cards a big rough. Thats how you know you a Yugioh player 😂

[@Zssprime]

Congrats on your incredible accomplishment 🧜🏻‍♀️🌊💙

[@chuchojuarez95]

13:20 respect to the friends for letting the guy do the entire deck profile without interruption

[@misafans1]

I just went x-3 with the deck yesterday at Anaheim regionals losing thr last round, deck is definitely solid but focusing on consistency is more important than raising the ceiling imo. I bricked quite a bit through out the day. I wasn't even playing armored xyz. Just played the deepsea king Nice list tho and congrats

[@phantomkaiba8727]

I saw a list from Pak that intrigued me, he used White aura porpoise and ghoti shif. Using coelacanth under droll to end on wayyyy more than they should do be able too. Draghite toad nept king etc. def going to try it out. White aura porpoise has crazy synergy with coelacanth cunce it will revive double pike, which you get off of ceolocanth

[@eu4um]

REALLY smart deckbuilding choices and explanations here, well deserved win

[@darthblastoise0098]

I know for a fact if I plugged this list into a test hand simulator I’d brick 6/10 hands. Insane you went undefeated with all that non engine, good work

[@SuperInsaiyan18]

You wouldn't brick that often. a lot of these cards that are seen as "bricks" just actually aren't on the simple fact they're water and can be pitched for multiple effects. statistically you should be seeing full combo roughly 85% of the time (assuming you go un-interrupted, but there are ways to play through interruptions as well. yes i ran the numbers, i'm currently working on a massive combo tutorial for the deck). A lot of the cards people think are "bricks" can actually be used to combo very easily.

[@darthblastoise0098]

@@SuperInsaiyan18I’m more referring to all my test hands and playing with similar lists the past couple weeks getting a LOT of unplayable hands because I’m drawing 2-3 hand traps and 2-3 extenders with no starters. But lemme know when your combo tutorial drops, I’d love to check it out!

[@SuperInsaiyan18]

@@darthblastoise0098 mind giving me an example of a hand you've opened? Also. Combo video is likely going to be multiple parts. Part 1 is going up tomorrow!!

[@darthblastoise0098]

@@SuperInsaiyan18 currently staring at an opening hand of teus, abyss-sting, double imperm, and pike. Using a standard list/the list this guy used, what plays could I have done? Anything with ocea maybe? Edit: My very next hand was dragoons, infantry, gunde, and double ash blossom🙄😬

[@SuperInsaiyan18]

@darthblastoise0098 if you play ocea, teus + any water (in this case pike) ends on: Mermail King Neptabyss, 2x toadally awesome, mermail abysslacia, icejade Gymir Aegirine, virtue stream, abyssrhine in GY to discard and draw, heavy infantry in hand + any 1 other sea serpent of your choice, and you ripped 2 out of the opps hand with moulinglacia. This combo will be in my tutorial. Abysspike + any water + any discard ends on: mermail king neptabyss, toadally awesome, abyss dweller, bahamut shark, abyss scale of the mizuchi, rhine in gy to discard and draw. (This combo can be better if your discard is impactful, but in this case it's teus). Also going to be in my combo tutorial!

Warning: No Megalo. View at your own discretion.

[@leopalma9351]

could always add 1 to your build

[@rubberduckie5518]

Megalo sucks

My boy out here representing the reef! 🫡🔱

[@fg00000]

Congratz!! Great insights

[@snipeshot556]

Ayyy that’s my goat right there

[@Agrivale1996]

If you close your eyes you might see Distant Coder in this profile… lmao anyways congrats on the top king

[@michaelngo2653]

Finally a yugioh player that pronounces Coelacanth correctly

[@DeepfriedVampire]

congratz! hm zealantis cant clear backrow btw or did you use zealantis to gain back the effects of declared type? (xyz / synchro?) against D-barrier. Or just got stopped in combo by dbarrier then went for coral+zealantis to get rid of their monster and attack with links and eff3ct monsters?

[@Zssprime]

@@DeepfriedVampire zealantis eff when co-linked pops any card on the field (non targeting)

[@DeepfriedVampire]

@@Zssprime yeah :D during battle phase I dont get how he stopped dbarrier with zealantis. Thanks for replying mate! Ah I see he had zealantis on the board. His opponent used triple tactics thrust to set the dbarrier during his opponents turn. Entered battle phase. Colinked zealantis poped the set trap he couldnt activate yet. Because of thrust he knew it was a dbarrier. Like that?

[@adamn1126]

Brother his opp d barriered him calling xyz he couldn't make poseidra to get rid of this field so he used zelantis to banish his field with the water lock on coral and used the zelantis clinked with the coral later on to pop more cards in battle phase

[@DeepfriedVampire]

@@adamn1126 yeah that is what my 1st post 2nd part was saying. Eitherway thanks for confirming how he played did make me wonder :D so he didnt actually stop dbarrier just played through it. Thought I missed something special here :P

[@iaiGamer]

Im a returing yugioh player. Why isnt Deep Sea Diva ran anymore? Is it because her normal summon is too risky nowadays?

[@oreoblizzard1662]

Yeah, ash, veiler, imperm make it a hard counter to the deck

[@stuckmeister7750]

Genuine question, no hate. how, do you never brick without extra consistency cards? Any hand you dont open goons squad or nept is really bad. Anyways congrats on the result.

[@JQLiFiCE]

abysshrine + any mermail/atlantean + blind discard: shrine eff; summon coelacanth coelacanth summon out the pikes make toad and neptabyss link ???? profit considering that there were no other engine pieces in hand and no extenders like triaina you end on toad, an add back from neptabyss and handtraps

[@adamn1126]

Any hand where you open teus plus a discard outlet or pyke plus a discard outlet is also just full combo

[@stuckmeister7750]

@adamn1126 i understand these combo although I don't think you get moulin off those? Either way they aren't really good combos. Take at least 2 discards 1 off pike/teus, and 1 off coelecanth to pass to literally 80% of hts is not good

[@DustyGlandon]

Phenomenal.

[@lightyagami4248]

Really nice list 🤙🏼

[@SuperInsaiyan18]

Do we know what the fuwalos combo he's referring to is? I can't figure out a line that gets to Aegirine + Gaios or Dweller that doesn't give a ton of draws, even with the moulin rip 2. I'm working on a spreadsheet/video and will credit anyone who can help me figure it out.

[@zarosthewolf]

what would be good replacements for the mulcharmy? i dont have the funds for them

[@sammykane5967]

Ill ask the same question😔😔

[@tuavaresm]

Did I miss count only 14 extra deck cards?

[@BossMonster17]

I have that same shirt

Can you do something going second when u lose the dice ?

44 cards?

[@justinmiller5539]

Yep

[@amosque34]

Mathew is the back lol 😂

[@Chris-rv1hp]

Hab mal gegen den gespielt und ich kann bezeugen, das er sehr unsympathisch ist und auf Time spielt. Wenn ich die Kommentare durchlese, ist es also kein Einzelfall.

[@SuperStinoworld]

ofc it has the 3 pay to win cards each 3 times in the deck. 😂

[@Geo-ok1nw]

Stop lol

[@jjefferyh]

Dont worry cali made a tier list no rush But Expecting something by november REMINDER: STAPLES TIER LIST IN TIER LIST FORM!!!! NOT!!!! THE MOST PLAYED!!!!!

[@diomede75]

why are you bringing cali up? (I havent watched the video yet)

[@jjefferyh]

@@diomede75 need to make content bro

[@Ralir]

Love it when they print support for this old bs handrip. Idk who would want to play such ugly cards willingly xd

[@darthblastoise0098]

Crying about mermail Atlantean is CRAZY hahahaha

[@Ralir]

@@darthblastoise0098 i am not “crying”, if anything I think it is a very mediocre deck. I am just baffled at konami printing support for this old pile of cards that tried to handloop and still ltries to. They really love excavating ancient evils, that were poorly written and sometimes not even once per turn

[@traplover6357]

​@@Ralirbecause it originally didn't handloop until Neptabyss came out way ahead of its time in 2015 😂
