So I Tried To Get Master Rank With GENERAIDER...

[@HardlegGaming]

Oh yeah! The chibi Jormungander art is from @_hasabuya_md on Twitter. They seem to mostly draw Generaider and Runick stuff, so if you like that go check em out! x.com/_hasabuya_md/status/1623364445102833664?s=20

[@kodytiffany5686]

What can you say... you got Yoinked and you got Boinked... rough failing to such a weird tech choice.

[@kodytiffany5686]

Never actually thought Generaider was that good. Annoying to face sure... but able to pierce the heavens... nope. Awesome job.

[@lordofinnistrad8757]

“Things can get pretty Dire.” I don’t know if that was intentional, but I’ll assume it is

[@jahaadjackson]

COMMON DIRE L

[@FrostReave]

He got the Invoked Build from Dire so I assume so

[@RealEppstore]

dire* she likes it to have it all lowercased

[@Memento_Mori-24]

​@@jahaadjacksonnah this is a W for sure

[@michael_betts]

4 seconds in and I already love the summoning of the 4 joe tokens when the boss joe is summoned with appropriate sound effects.

[@drewbabe]

So that's what tributing generaider tokens would look like if the monsters were real

[@megasartshack]

Every time I summon Jormangundr off of Laevateinn I love yelling "THAT'S IT, GET IN THE WORM!"

if you don't pilot the worm then Rei will have to

[@limbo2433]

Now I want to build generaider just so I can do that too

[@TheDuelLogs]

wow the editing in this was great

[@aclornoque23]

God, Ordinary's editing is so good, its crazy that they can keep such high quality for three hole ass hours

[@winniebeats5164]

The editing is minimal. It's one of those things where it's not difficult, but more so painfully tedious. Cheers

[@tobytrooper3928]

Right from the get-go, the intro is absolutely genius. 😂

[@HardlegGaming]

:D

[@imanalligator9694]

I loved this video, my favorite moment was when harr said " this is quite a DIRE situation ! " and then summoned himself to the field . No but seriously awesome video

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

Also I just realized Runick Dispelling is a direct reference to Haar's discard effect. Nordic tradition has it that the Allfather drank from a similar water source to gain the wisdom he probably needed to master the use of Runes, so it's not a coincidence considering Runick is confirmed to be directly related to Generaiders by the prescence of one of their monsters in their card art (Loptyr? I forget the exact name).

[@ab2aasd]

Loptr is in Runick Allure, yes

[@colossaldonut5190]

The Generaiders are the bosses of the RPG game that's depicted in the Runick cards with the spells being the spells you'd cast in the game and Runick Fountain being your mana regeneration fountain (which is why its effect is to recycle them into the deck and draw). The fusions you summon from the extra deck are supposed to be your familiars/allies to help you fight the bosses.

[@Kumo-s6f]

Norse mythology is so awesome. Shame the Runicks are, you know, Runicks.

[@drewbabe]

@@colossaldonut5190 oh so that's why you skip your battle phase. can't attack the same turn you cast magic (in a traditional jrpg, anyway)

[@Majoraspersona]

The level 9 Runick monster is also Odin's (or Haar's in this case) horse.

[@demonkingsparda]

The battle raged on for a century, many lives were claimed but eventually the champion stood, the rest saw their better, Mr Rogers in a bloodstained sweater

[@GrimmShane]

This is the ultimate showdown - of ultimate destiny - good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see; but only one will survive I wonder who it will be! This is the ultimate showdown! This is the ultimate showdown~ This is the ultimate showdown- Of ultimate destiny.

[@SergeantFrog]

I’ve never truly seen Generaider gameplay and this climb made me see the appeal of them! Also this was definitely the best intro it was so funny lol

[@kiu9521]

okay but "Fairy Odd Bosses" is comically ingenious

[@SproingBoing]

I love how Vala's title is just a really big brained way to pronounce "Cipher" using the Celtic language

[@jmc3735]

I love this style of content, I love the deck choices, I love the jokes. No one else is doing actual ladder climb with off meta decks. I’ve built Generaider and sprigs because of this. Great work man, you deserve millions of views.

[@Ragnarok540]

I'm amazed how competent Generaiders are, having 10 lv9 monsters in the deck and most of them being garnets and still getting that far is impressive. It also helps that a lot of people are coping with Kashtira in their first wave of support and that deck is awful without the emergency teleport, the field spell and the boss monster.

[@AedricScourge]

“If have to play into an established board, then things could be dire” Regardless if you go first or second, you’re Dire 😂

[@MainManJaggi]

That Summonite trap is a Cimo's Master Duel Masochist staple, my boy.

[@Ahamkeira]

the editing has been so fantastic but this episode especially holy shit

[@noticethez]

The end of an era. Proud to see you finally reach the top of the mountain Joe. Good shit

[@robertking9321]

Oh no this isn’t the end… it’s just the beginning

[@RedWurm]

Yay, that was fantastic :) Generaider was my deck of choice last month and the timing was pretty good - munchin Lab backrows with the Very Hungry Jormungandr never gets old.

[@GeargianoXG]

The lesson to be learned here is that 3200 + 1400 may be less than 6000 Great episode as usual, Generaider always is satisfying to see pop off :D

[@ShadowBaofu]

That was super entertaining and informative! I couldn't help but cheer by the end. I didn't expect Generaiders to pull this off!

[@Demonmagnos]

Runescape actually DID have raid bosses! There was a minigame called "Soul Wars". The goal was to weaken/defeat the enemy team's giant avatar while defending your own.

[@HazeEmry]

Isn't that just MOBA and not raid bosses? Haven't played runescape in a decade+ but didn't dungeoneering have bosses? That's as close as a runescape raid I can think of (outdated asf I know)

[@tallyho836]

OK THE HARDLEG TOKENS AT THE BEGINNING HAD ME ROLLING LMAOOO

[@rexusthevaliant6311]

That duel at 2:23:51 had me on the edge of my seat. So dang good.

[@Syluxmaster]

I love the fact that you put the timestamps in everytime. It's actually insane.

[@matteoalacran132]

The duel logs quality editing by Mochiya was definitely worth it! The production value really is top notch

[@SantiagoAgnes]

Congrats on reaching Master 1 with the deck! Love to see a goal to be reached in this series.

[@spicymayotuber]

Thanks for taking the time to do time codes Hardleg. I love you.

[@HardlegGaming]

You're welcome :)

[@sstarfury4068]

Genderraider only seems good with the small fairy stuff (diviner and sprite for barron) and the plant stuff just locks you out so much. Also, boss room feels so good when opponent opens ash

[@BassAndTrebleBR]

This hasn't been a dire climb, I bet!

[@Ind3xPlus]

That's true, it was a mbt climb.

Absolutely lost it when you called Harr a "girthy gentleman". Prime entertainment, as always.

[@liviousgameplay1755]

Thanks, I love: Generaider HarrLeg, Boss of Joes summoning and then tributing his Joe Tokens.

[@darkhydrat9096]

This video was incredible, it explained how Generaiders worked and we got to hear Hardleg's great singing voice

[@HardlegGaming]

:D

[@italianradio6148]

Joe! I haven't finished watching Springans enough times! You're doing amazing with how often you pump these really high quality climbs out.

[@Renoc01]

By far my favorite opening to the series. The editing is just, chefs kiss

[@Lexadin]

The editing in the video was on point. Glad to see Generaiders doing well, I always loved the aesthetic of the archetype just never looked into playing them myself. Next time it's Vaylantz? Oh boy, this is either going to be a repeat of Kozmoz/Galaxy or it's going to be some 5d chess in action.

[@RedWurm]

lol, I seem to be picking the same decks, just a bit earlier and for a much lower budget :P Interesting to see what Vaylantz deck he goes with, my current going second unga-bunga deck is much better than I expected after struggling with some earlier builds.

[@andrewwhyte7130]

Was that a nostalgia critic reference?! Is 2023?! God damn i love hardlegs humour

[@MainManJaggi]

I can't wait to watch this video again six more times over the course of a month while I'm doing stuff

[@MrDreshawn12]

I literally had to stop the videos to look up that song you were singing. 😂😂 Best song ever!

[@durgons749]

2:42:40 - Why not run a Hela? It also fits with Small World because it's a Zombie, like Ash, it has 2800 DEF, which could search Sauravis if you wanted it to, and it's also a solid Generaider name that does some pretty nifty stuff for the deck. For the current MD meta I also think that Book of Moon/Eclipse would be really good because Purrely exists and is probably the best deck, and they completely neutralize Purrely going second, work vs other decks well going 1st and going 2nd (like the ever-present Mikankos).

[@NerdySatyr]

Considering how many bricks the archetype has I'm honestly very impressed by it! Looks very fun and not too overly complicated, whilst also having a cool theme/fluff. Very cool!

[@Phantom_of_Black]

Me during the intro: "Are you sure it was multiple patrons that suggested this and not just a singular dire?"

[@Jigundus]

It’s hilarious to me that Joe kept calling Leva a lady when it’s literally just upgraded Loptr

[@VanessaVersus]

I think this is the first time I've actually wanted to build a deck from this series

[@ryann42]

Kurikara went kinda brazy near the end of the episode. Honestly brought me a little closer to finally crafting her

[@HardlegGaming]

She's really neat, I hope I can use her again in the future.

[@munchrai6396]

Generaiders' approach to splashability is something that I've always found really cool. Having the majority of the main deck monsters function as a variety of generic type support ontop of their archetypal functions allows for some really interesting synergy with plant, fairy and spellcaster archetypes, like Predaplants, Sunseeds, Heralds, Prediction Princesses and even the new Majespecter support, which works incredibly well to both insulate the deck from removal and grab their field spell more efficiently. The deck also has a lot of synergy with easily summonable level 9s thanks to Monstrosity, so decks like Rescue-Ace, Invoked, True Kings and the new Runick Fusion can work very well for getting accessible xyz material and can even function as combo starters if they happen to not be Light attribute. Finally, the decks focus on drawing your opponent's cards can create niche synergies with hand control decks like Trickstar, where your opponent is pretty much never allowed to search anything. The best part about Generaider synergy is that any deck with a tribute or reciprocal draw effect has potential synergy with the deck, you just need the right typed Generaider for that synergy to work. Survival's End is a crazy good trap for a deck that summons a bunch of tokens, you just need a Dinosaur to bridge the gap. Similarly, Dark World Dealings is the most available reciprocal draw option available and would a guaranteed staple in the deck if we had a Fiend to go along with it. Heck, we just got a new Link 4 Infernoid card that would also work great summoned off of a Fiend Generaider

[@Tristar2500]

I was the one playing the spright tear paleo list at 50:00 and the idea was that all the paleos are level 2 and merrli/havnis help put the paleos in grave. If you discard a paleo with holeutea you can chain the grave effect to that activation cuz it discards for cost. And you can do it turn 1 to make a live anomalocaris. Deck is mostly dead now cuz of the merrli ban tho but she did deserve it so i cant complain too much

[@tommysuter4053]

Generaiders always seemed like a neat archetype to me, I am so happy to see it do so well as a mostly pure build.

[@colossaldonut5190]

One of the Dire W's of all time.

[@UnsmartDonald]

I look forward to these every month. It's even better when you use a deck I'm also using

[@merryasemily]

I was so hype to see someone better than me play Plant Generaider and was absolutely crushed to see its bad [in this format]. Its not just me/fricking Link Regulation 😭

[@KumiStellari]

I can't get over "If they have another nibiru I'm gonna shit my fuck"

[@nikigoturspine7478]

Most people don't know but you can tribute the fire genereraider to keep the tokens and do link plays next turn

I actually love the time codes. Its the best thing to come back to a video.

[@Paytonzane]

…of all the concepts I expected to see, Small World Generator sponsored by Dire was NOT in my predictions.

[@xCorvus7x]

3:16:08 Hang on, does it really work like that? Isn't it so that you can't replace the destruction of monsters with the destruction of one of those monsters that are already about to be destroyed?

[@dinhoxdinho]

generaider was one of the first deck i knew nothing much about and had a blast playing and coming up with combos. Some of the stuff i came up with includes: - using diviner of the herald to send trias, summon trias by tributing diviner, diviner summons valkyrie sechste, which summons sigrun (another lvl9). From here i could either go to a rank 9 (infinitracker earth slicer for destroying removal, hyperiton for negate if i feel like there's a nibiru waiting to activate or leyvateinn for next turn) or i could use sechts and sigrunn for synchro into chaos angel (this guy saved me from a baronne + thunder dragon colossus by himself, only because my opponent didn't negated sechste) - e-tele or one for one into psychic reflector, add assault beast, discard him to get assault mode activate, use reflector second effect and bring beast as a lvl8 to synchro into archossauros (lvl9 plus 1 draw). Since achossausros is a lvl9 water monster, he can be targeted by world legacy monstrosity to bring both mardel and harr, to get a search and to have a negate ready in any case of ash or impermeance - (i think i still have the replay for this one because i thought it was funny how annoying i was) after resolving boss stage, bring loptr and use him to summon harr, i used both harr's effects against a cyber dragon player, but when it came to the negate, i tributed a token and harr himself, so i could keep 2 generaider tokens. The reason for that is that i used hop ear squadron (lvl2) to synchro with the token (lvl4) into desert locust, which has two effects, one that forces the owner of the turn to discard a card and one for a quick synchro, which i used on the second token. In the resolution i summoned baronne and forced my opponent into discard his second to last card in hand and got a omni negate to whatever he tried to play - if i ever got into a situation that, in the late, i have no generaider card in hand to activate vala effect, i use nine lives cat to bring her back, which also triggers her reviving effect, which gets me 2 lvl9 for another rank 9, so as long that it isn't dyson sphere, i could use both nine lives cat and this new rank 9 to go into utopic future, and then utopic draco future - condenmed witch can, on summon, get you a "forbidden" quick play spell (droplet or chalice for monster negate) and can tag into loptr if you already have the field spell on board, so you can focus in bringing harr or utgarda for more interactions - as bad as generaider boss room may sound, it did saved me quite a lot. its the continuos trap that can change the effect of a card your opponent used in response to a generaider card effect to "both players draw a card", but only if you discard a card first, but you can use it if your opponent try to chain ash, maxx c, impermeance or called by the grave to either both the field spell's effect, loptr or vala. And because i play a different spell/trap than the field, i have reason to use generaider boss mission (reveal a generaider monster in hand, add up to 2 generaiders spells or traps to your hand) whenever i brick hard with generaiders in hand that are not vala, or that i need on deck so i can bring with the field

[@chrigeo76]

I liked it when the generaiders said "it's generaiding time", and started to generaid all over the place

[@Kingminer13579]

[@lordsalatino4100]

Never understood why tey are rank 9 and not 10, meaning they can't be used in the Norse Mythology deck (Aesir) even if they would be perfect considering the cards' inspitrations

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

Even before their new support I had trouble figuring out how to play against Generaiders for a while. Their gameplay loop has always been pretty unique, and if they don't brick they can put up a lot of pressure.

[@KuroeNezumi]

Play second, bait or get rid of their one negate, wipe their board, then OTK. Yeah, not the most consistent way go beating them, but they have not much to do if you remove harr and have a way to eliminate all their monsters after boss rush has activated. Unless it is the fairy one, then you just have to pray they cannot outresource you. And don't have a good turn 2 play.

Some of my faborites are crusadia, cubic, swordsoul, purrley, ninjas, suship, sprigans, monarchs, generaider, timelord, eldlich control, zombies, and amorphage. half of these i looked up but i think these plus the structure decks can make it a lil easier.

[@Stephen__White]

1:00:56 I kind of hate how Desperado is in the Legacy Packs. I just want to build a fun Gimmick Puppet deck and have some fun with it even though it's absolute garbage, but there are SO MANY of the cards I need, that are only in the Legacy Pack. Meaning to get the cards I want to grind through the lower tiers, I need to play the game... and grind through the lower tiers to get the tickets to open the Legacy Packs. Honestly Gimmick puppets in general are stupidly expensive, nearly every card in that archetype worth playing is a UR, plus the Rank-Up Magic's that are worth playing are URs, then you need the Master Duel tax... Yeah It's likely one of the most expensive casual/flawed decks in Master Duel, made worse by having key cards locked behind the Legacy Packs.

[@ienzio7795]
