Gladiator Beasts WON their 1st Edison MAJOR??

A few weeks ago, history was made. Gladiator Beasts, the much-hated-on archtype of Edison, finally claimed a major W at Peak Beak 5. Carried in part by an excellent pilot, Spyral, it's truly impressive that it's taken this long - people were beginning to doubt if it was even possible. I go over his list and a couple replays - enjoy.
0:00 Intro
1:20 Spyral's GB Deck
5:45 The Finals
12:20 Best play ever?

The battle phase mind games are real with GB

[@AstorThalis]

10:44 That's incorrect. Stardust cannot negate Heraklinos' effect because a card which activation was negated counts as if it were never on the field.

[@ChrisSaur]

This should be correct. I think it would even be correct if the opponent sets the card and flips it up later. As far as i can remember when a set card is flipped up to activate it will not be considered as on the field anymore until it resolves again. Yugioh is hard sometimes xD

[@DoubleBeast]

​@ChrisSaur Yup, you're right. Kinda wish Konami put some of these finer details in their Structure Deck rule books, or in those Duelist Pack tip cards which were pretty useless from what I remember lol

[@ChrisSaur]

I won a tournament with Glads last month. It was a 40 player tournament with 6 Rounds of swiss + Top 8. I lost one match against Zombies in Swiss. I hate that people disrespect Glads so much. I think that hero signal stuff is wierd. 😅

[@McKayCameron]

Does crash test ape & hero signal work? Ive been playing both in the deck but never tried to resolve this because i assumed they would miss timing as both are when effects

[@c_spare]

You would have the opportunity to activate both because they happen in the same substep of the damage step in which monsters are sent to the graveyard(End of the Damage Step), in either order you would prefer. They would start a chain but seeing as it is in the damage step your opponent would have very little in terms of interaction.

[@McKayCameron]

@@c_spare terrific, thank you for the explanation!

[@playtestirl9448]

Mwhahahaha!

[@TokenBlack]

Every person who talks about GBs does the same thing you did at 5:11 There is always a reason to tear down the success of the deck.

[@Jade_Hanson]

Hey, great video. I got a question, how do you get you DB to look like that? With the card text and all?

[@donsilk7623]

Also wanna know

[@Dracossack.]

It must be some kind of browser extension, I’ve seen ones that change the background or skip the intro screen but not sure what he’s using to get the colored text

[@kameronsullivan2389]

My one question is why play one book of moon and how come no cold wave? I love this deck btw. Congrats!

[@arkaninee]

Nice samnite play! You think in this position T-Set bluff hoplumos instead could be a viable play?

[@Sn33k_]

it'd be safer. Just know they're gonna swing regardless

[@SunnyYGO]

Extremely pro Samnite play. Spyral is probably the least-known player relative to his skill level. Super strong player. GB best deck.

[@rasenganb41vtx]

The most hated edison deck

[@fernandoibarra5314]

Why? Glads were good at that time

[@nicolaskrohling]

What is the point of Synchro on extra deck? There is no tuner neither control

[@H2MixtapeGod]

I am getting clarification on it but I feel like Heraklinos cant be negated by Stardust since s/t that are negated arent considered on the field.

[@cketcham1217]

Boooooo

[@j.s.h7046]

how bad should you be to lose a match to GB? the deck is literally garbage

[@jamesarcygo]

apparantly a lot of bad players in this tournament

[@j.s.h7046]

@@jamesarcygo makes sense this format is oversaturated with a very small card pool the goat format syndrome has caught up. Hopefully people move on to 2014 and 2019 formats these will be way more interesting and more skillful in both gameplay and deck building.

[@Sn33k_]

say you're a gb hater without saying you're a gb hater

[@fernandoibarra5314]

People that disrespect on GB obviously suck in this format, is not the best deck but is far from being garbage
