Hearthstone Legend vs. Below-Average Yu-Gi-Oh! Player! | Master Duel Arena ft.

[@Cimoooooooo]

Thanks for all your support for the new series! We saw your feedback regarding how the perspectives flip back-and-forth too rapidly during the gameplay, and will tone it down in future episodes! This episode was already finished before Episode 1 was released!

[@denaxil9012]

How frustrated were you when you found out that rarran could have had 2 BLS but chose to have none? Lol

[@johnowlgem9264]

Rarran was like joey with his luck most of this video

[@cameraredeye3115]

Glad this issue is being addressed, because yeah, it got annoying real quick in Episode 1. It'd be much better if both players' facecams but only Cimo's perspective was displayed constantly.

[@AeroAnimationsInc]

I mean, I like seeing both hands tbh. What if you did something like a hand-cam using a rotoscoping/masking effect on his capture? Feather the edges of the mask so it blends into your capture a little cleaner? Best of both worlds? Love this new series btw.

[@doubleduece2012]

Rarran needs to play doto.. also, your description say subscribe to rhyme then tagged rarran..

[@TehWhiteTiger]

@@anacreon212 almost all his other choices were good yeah

[@CodenBahn]

I love how Rarran was just able to intuit the whole strategy of cyber stein OTK without even knowing the cards beforehand

[@andyrajendra3103]

The double 6 roll Roulette Barrel was hilarious, he really wanted to kill that Jinzo lmao

[@TheTrueThomaster]

There is an alternate universe where Rarran could've OTKd Cimo by opening Cyber-Stein, Megamorph, and Creature Swap.

[@ovelhadogelo]

Rarran had a great start, then fumbled a lot in between but, just in general, he did good. That's something to be proud of, so congrats for giving this Draft a chance, you evolved so much. In general, this series is a good way of teaching new players and returnees, while still having a high level for veterans. PS: Saying "f-ck this guy" to arguably one of the best and strongest cards ever in GOAT Format is to be laughed at. I won't scroll through the comments but you expect some beef from it.

[@charlesf.7947]

Rarran did great, and people bag on him for BLS but the other picks when he had BLS were equally as good, both snatch and graceful are never dead and let’s be honest BLS would’ve ended up dead in hand with no light in grave. Now, passing on Torrential on the other hand…

[@tjr930]

@@charlesf.7947 ye it was funny skipping on bls but understandable considering the choices. i facepalmed when he faded torrential for whatever it was he took instead lol

[@gamester512]

@@tjr930 But the important thing is now he should know that the cards he skipped like BLS are really good, he should hopefully perform better if he returns to do this again.

Rarran, had 2 chances at the best card in GOAT format and said it was bad. I love this man.😂

[@moonjelly5]

To be fair, there was no bad pick in his first chance at it (Snatch Steal and Graceful Charity are both ridiculous).

[@charlesf.7947]

@@moonjelly5Yeah, and those Spells are never dead whereas BLS probably would be dead with no light in grave

[@holayoseremi1788]

Plus, BLS is only good if you build around it, and im almost sure rarren had 3 light monsters at max

[@SDREHXC]

That is highly debatable about it being the “best card”. Maybe the best monster. Card is a massive stretch.

[@friskydrinklunkybank1108]

You can't really blame him. He didn't know. Watch as he now knows it will never appear lmao

[@MatterTheCause]

@@MegaMetal96 Oh did they? Nice! Must have missed that,

[@ScarredWill]

I think that, at least with non Yugioh players, explaining cards like Metamorphosis in advance is a good idea. That way they aren't so uncertain over Fiend Skull Dragon and Dark Balter type cards.

[@hat_sauce3846]

Agreed. Clarifying some things beforehand or even mid game would be better.

[@charlesf.7947]

Yeah, that’s really the only thing that’s not immediately obvious with this draft pool

[@Reynar7]

To be fair Metamorphosis & Lvl. Up were 2 cards that bent rules early on w/o explaining itself.

[@PyckledNyk]

Rarran is unofficially the wild card. I love seeing his perspectives of the game coming from a Hearthstone background, and his hot takes like saying “fuck this guy” about BLS with his flippant delivery sends me flying. I don’t care who wins, I just know this will be a fun match up to watch

[@atdaniell2797]

In his deck, it was the correct call. He didn't have the light targets for it, really.

[@arbitrary5226]

honestly i gotta give big props to rarran he caught onto flip control and gamba like a true ygo player

[@tyranitararmaldo]

I'm actually really happy to see Rarran on this series, I know that this is part promo for his channel & goat format is a different world of Yu-Gi-Oh but after seeing him be so heavily against modern Yu-Gi-Oh the fact he said yes & seemed to actually be enjoying himself while playing it makes me happy. :)

[@mageius]

I like seeing things like this. As you don't have to be the best player to just be good at drafting. It's also just a fun way to get new players interested in trying out the game even if it's not the modern version of the game.

[@shuttlecrossing1433]

Penguin Soldier driving fear into Cimo's heart in two separate series is cinema

[@willwatson1176]

I love Rarran, so glad to see this collaboration. Watching him draft reminds me of trying to interpret these unintuitive ass cards for the first time.

[@allmightjunior6917]

I love how rarran started by dunkin on the game on its very real issues, and the community responded by helping him and including him in, that he slowly became one of us.

[@Baltux]

to be fair, the community was not extremely helpful until he invested hours into learning modern yugioh. Am pretty sure he would have had fun from the start playing old school drafts though.

[@2iq371]

you can see ramranch isn't a yu gi oh player...he actually read the cards!

A little suggestion, do a short introduction of the guest of the video. It true that their name is on the video’s name but it helps to know who you are dueling

[@Siinory]

Super fun episode. I'd love to see the opposite where Cimo plays against Ram in Hearthstone, that'd be a sight to behold

[@ChaosDragon]

It looks like Alex threw game 2 for content. Wall pay 1000 on attack declaration would have caused Rarran to have more lifepoints and megamorph would cut darkfire dragon down to 750 instead of boosting it to 3000.

[@daezondario]

I think my only thing i wanted ranran to do differently was take dark dust spirit, torrential tribute(these could turn the tempo back in his favor in an undesirable position) and ha des(is great for keeping pressure). Other than that i have no complaints i feel like he did a good job of not falling for some of the bait cards in here and determining the strongest card choice. If i we're to grade his card choice in the draft id give him a 90% A. All in all really proud of ranran for his choices looking forward to seeing more of him in the yugisphere

[@justinnoble6393]

You could have paid 1000 with wall on attack dec to make your life points lower making mega morph halve the attack instead of doubling it in game two

[@markbonker6861]

Man, watching Rarran's progress with learning the game reminds me of when i was a kid learning the game. He's doing well. Of course older formats are better for learning the game because of the simpler card design.

[@turntsnaco824]

Man I remember Slate Warrior from back in the day but didnt realize just how crazy it was. The Flip effect is pure greed, but just the fact that it was a 1900 attack 4-star effect monster with a pretty substsntial UPSIDE, in world where most 4-star monsters over 1800 attack had downsides. I know thats about when 1900 just became the norm on 4-stars, after the introduction of cards like Gemini Elf and Archfiend Soldier, but still....

[@Xeroxthebeautiful]

Watching a non Yugioh player's though process while drafting was kind of fascinating. I hope I don't sound mean by saying that cause I'm really not judging him and I think he made overall very solid decisions for someone unfamiliar with the cards beforehand it's just interesting to see him evaluate the cards on the fly.

[@pilzgnom2329]

Honestly rarrans ability to intuit and valuate cards is stunning for a non ygo player

Roulette Barrel has never been so complimented in its life

[@NotsoNaisu]

… player new to learning the game… wins with luck based cards.. IS RARRAN OUR JOEY WHEELER?!?!!

[@Technizor]

At 50:20, if Cimo activated the Wall of Revealing light, his LP would be lower causing Megamorph to halve the atk instead of double (750 atk vs the 1600 def monster) and it would have either cancelled the attack or if it went through then he'd win from battle damage.

I understand why the modern game is the way that it is right now, but there's something about early yugioh where everything is much more generic that makes the incidental synergies more fun to discover.
