[Goat Format] - POV: Can we win a PS5 @ Collectible Exchange? 10/20/24

[@luisangelgarcia5398]

Dear Calvin, yesterday I won my first YGO tournament in goat format with my deck Chaos Turbo, I’m very happy for that, thank you so much for your videos I learned to play this deck in this page. Kind regards from Queretaro Mexico!

[@Calvin-YGO]

@@luisangelgarcia5398 Congratulations and it makes me happy to hear that I’ve helped you out! May you win many more tournaments in the future!

Legend has it he's still verbally declaring draw phase and stanby phase when going first.

Hey man just some food for thought but in Round 5 game 1 T-set as an answer to T-set is one of the worst opens you can do. Doing this increases the value of the nobleman because its threatens an early direct attack and also reveals a shit ton of information. When the other player can naturally assume/count you probably have 2-3 monsters in hand. Overall try to be in the mentality that they have an answer to T-set. Think about what they may or may not have an answer for, if you can get them to expense a card/resource, if you get them to expense something how can you punish that to build a lead, how to maintain board presence so that you can still end in a favorable trades. I can tell its not main deck but I think it's correct to fire off Swords of Revealing Light turn 1. By doing this, you get information on the set monster or even potentially the backrow/future backrow to out it. Additionally if it lives one turn thats more value than 0. Another thing to think about is that by sending NA while you technically get the most bang for your buck you also reveal that you don't have an additional flip monster. I think personally I value keeping both flip monsters (Spy and NA) maybe even discarding Jar of Greed instead of 2nd Thunder Dragon or just both Thunder Dragons. That being said I challenge you to try and never T-set onto a T-set open again and maybe make a small push just to see what happens.

[@Calvin-YGO]

You’re the goat bro ty for the advice and I’m gonna try and incorporate it into my play going forward!

[@Kodabear47]

Round 5 game 1. You started with Swords, acknowledged that you forgot to side deck out the swords and continued to play instead of scooping for a instant game loss. Game 2, you summon solider and he torrentialed, his monster should have went to the grave. Game state is on both players.

[@KorokHero_]

"Trio Trunade Milus Deserts" is surprisingly catchy

[@T-Ret1990]

Against the cat burn I think if you break one of the radiants, you end up taking less damage overall by 200. Not sure if you still win by the end of that match. But you survive the ring at least.

[@Calvin-YGO]

@@T-Ret1990 honestly the answer was set Torrent to avoid all the damage but being at 200 is insanely scary anyway against cat combo because you’re like one Panda or Desserts away from dying anyway

[@blurry9744]

Was a little curious about the play in the first game, where you knew about desserts and trio face down, and summon an extra monster before you heavy storm, any reason you did that before using the heavy first before summon? at 1:40 . Not a big deal, but looked like a free 500 extra damage from the desserts in my eyes

[@Calvin-YGO]

Yeah you’re right ngl

1:12:20 why banish? if u prio and he torrential it not resolves backwards?

[@Calvin-YGO]

I was trying to keep a light out of grave

[@robb.3598]

@@Calvin-YGO I mean when you do prio and he activates torrential, it goes to the graveyard anyway, right?

[@mitakatodorov7297]

Am I mistaken or you could in round 5 final game normal zombyra try to crash into BLS or in that case that he ring you you had thunder dragon and dark why didn’t you summon BLS banish his a continue?

[@alphacentauri3162]

Kycoo prevent bansih from grave

[@Calvin-YGO]

I had to run into Kycoo to even have a chance of getting BLS out.

[@radian1048]

Round 3: i was thinking, is it really so hard for your opponent to announce the phases? i would shark him so bad, just waving hands and swinging cards throws me off so bad. But great video, as always.

[@Calvin-YGO]

@@radian1048 Lol if it weren’t a homie I’d absolutely want them to clearly announce their phases but Joaquin is one of the people I look up to and I understand where he’s at and stuff

[@Metalicss]

40:30, breaker shouldn't be banished. On the side note, based on his plays, it was a solem and probs should have mst-ed it before he summoned the mobius. In situations like those, I like to think "can I afford him to negate/do w/e is coming. 47:36 Ballsy move. I'd probs go with mst the prema, set mof pass. Seems more conservative, but it payed of to ya.

[@Calvin-YGO]

@@Metalicss Yeah I got distracted cause one of our friends signed Joaquin’s card and I wanted to see but it wasn’t super impactful. Tbh I think Mobius is an AWFUL side into most Turbo lists and I never expect to see it past game 1 and I don’t really like blinding MSTs personally so that one was like “well he had it”

[@Metalicss]

@@Calvin-YGO Just finished the video, and edited the comment a bit. I'm not even sure what the double Mobius guy was playing. Seemed like some mix of warrior monarchs, he didn't even have Don. The MST part, you didn't read it that it was a set Solemn? In one of the previous plays, he was thinking about negating one of your previous plays (yea, it could have been the bluff but still).

[@Calvin-YGO]

@@Metalicss About the second timestamp, I would rather pitch a light to grave to get the CSorc out to regain tempo, the only thing I'm worried about in that game state is Snatch and I have the answer. MST to pop Premat would have been okay if I had a spell in grave that was worth grabbing with it but since there wasn't there was no need to do so especially since it could have been punished by the Exiled that he summoned.

[@naushaadgoolamalli4121]

30:02 not chain mst?

[@Calvin-YGO]

I can’t chain anything in response to Solemn
