Not going to lie, I was trying to cook up a plan to activate it on opponent's turn for a while, missing the part where it says "YOUR main phase" - whoops. I still feel like the skip effect could be somehow turned into a positive, like maybe turning off some other effects. If it skipped the end phase as well, I could totally see that being abused, even just to make Spirit monsters stay on field.

I think what makes yugioh be yogioh is that 70% of card text that scares anyone that never played before is just to restrict players from doing loopholes and balancing the card... it's even funnier when people say: why they don't print cards like the old ones? pot of greed was straight forward to the point. chat...we should tell them?

[@timothyvenske6519]

Exactlyyy ^two yugioh players coping^

[@AmarantiStellar]

The thing is, other games usually have basic rules that restrict players from doing the sorta loopholes that require all this text. Like the classic, "does the card say you can't use the effect multiple times in the same turn?" Typically in other games, the "You can only use it once" is the default behavior, and the card would need the explicit text, "you can use this effect multiple times in one turn" for it to be usable multiple times. It's kinda like if someone said, "does the card say you can't normal summon it multiple times in one turn?". Well, no, the card doesn't need to, the rulebook says that. Yes I get this is not fixed because the game is an eternal format, but that doesn't mean they couldn't hypothetically rewrite the rules and reprint every card ever made with revised text, and as a result have an average of 70% less text across all cards. Konami will never ever do that, but it is a hypothetically fixable problem.

[@Sans01hp]

@@AmarantiStellar there's also the "how the card is worded" problem. there's some cards that you would think it will work but don't because it's "when" instead of "if" and other scenarios like that... you gave a very good answer to a lot of problems... but it's not going to happen because they won't reprint all cards just for that.

[@geoffreymullen3527]

I think one thing missing from the analysis of Card of Demise here is that with the way these kinds of effects are formatted in Yu-Gi-Oh. It says you can't special summon the turn you activate it, but I think Rarran's thought regarding playing out your hand first and then playing it may have been from an understanding of special summoning beforehand. In magic for example, this is how it would work, but in Yu-Gi-Oh it only works that way if it says "for the rest of the turn after this card resolves". You can't special summon at all on a turn you play pot of demise, if you special summon first, you can't even activate it.

[@AbdielKavash]

I think both CGB and Rarran have made this mistake in other videos too, maybe this is something that should be pointed out (if it is relevant.)

I know that the TCG and Master Duel are very different not just with regards to side-decking but also the existence of Maxx "C", but the idea of Cimoooooo calling Chicken Game "crazy" and "degenerate" but Card of Demise "fine" is absurd to the point of being hilarious. (Again, from the perspective of Master Duel.)

[@amethonys2798]

16:49 The funny part about Exodia is the win condition "triggers" the absolute second it is fulfilled and is pretty much the only thing that works like that. If you theoretically activated a card that draws 6 cards as like CL3 and drew the final piece on the very first card the game ends right then and there. You don't draw the remaining 5 cards. You do not resolve CL2 or CL1.

[@tweekin7out]

that's not entirely true. if you activated an effect that drew 6 cards, it would have to fully resolve before exodia activated. you're correct that the remainder of the chain wouldn't have to resolve, but that specific effect *would* have to resolve. same thing with a card like graceful charity - if you draw into the last piece of exodia with graceful charity, you *have* to discard before exodia can activate, and if you don't have any discard fodder, you have to discard an exodia piece.

[@666narutomanfan]

​@tweekin7out yeah this also has the possibility of a deckout. Say you have 2 cards left in the deck and you use an effect to draw 3 or more, you don't draw the 2 then win you deck out since you can't finish the draw.

[@ln8496]

@@666narutomanfanno, i dont think you can activate a card that makes you draw more cards than are in your deck.

[@TS0ciety]

@@ln8496 You can activate a card that'd let you draw more than your deck. If the cost is unable to be met (i.e. Pot of desires with 9 cards in deck), you cannot. However if you have 11 cards left in deck, you are still able to activate Pot of Desires, you will just lose when you are unable to draw that second card.

[@BestAnimeFreak]

@@ln8496 Sure you can activate a card that lets you draw more than there is in your deck. You simply lose the game if you do, because you can't draw when you are required to. Nothing stops you from activating the effect though, so that's entirely your fault if you activate Pot of Greed, with only 1 card left in the deck xD You can't activate Pot of Desires, if you only have 9 cards in your deck, because banishing 10 cards is a cost. If it's not a cost, you could activate it and just lose.

[@fadeemblem7665]

Pot of Desires also had some very funny appearances in the various "banish everything" Gren Maju decks, where Pot of Desires' downside was actually an upside for the deck, making Gren Maju into a +4000 big bonky boi with a single Desires. It's a fun little addendum for the card, where "Pot of Greed with a downside" becomes "but what if Pot of Greed with an upside instead". That said, the Gren Maju decks could run into a very interesting issue with Desires: instead of accidentally banishing a card you needed, on later turns they just wouldn't be able to play Desires at all due to not having enough cards left in deck.

Cage Head, Octosari with Demon Seed, for standar easy trigger Reska, Sylvanas, Kangor, Thunderbringer.

[@Cheerwine091]

@@juliosoto6315 Not a hearthstone expert by any means (I played for like 20 minutes a couple of years ago), but if you put the effect on a minion then the issue is lessened, no? If there’s a way to play and bounce this hypothetical card repeatedly, then that might cause problems, but otherwise, the only way this is consistent is if you run little to no other minions in your deck. And, if running 2 copies of this, it may simply just kill the other copy in the deck, doing nothing. Make it a terrible rate otherwise and it would make a good Timmy card (perhaps a 6 mana 3/5? Idk). Also, you run the risk of having the deck-murder target in your opening hand (not very likely considering how hearthstone’s mulligan works, since if it’s there you can put it back) and your card simply not working because there’s no minions in the deck to kill Or, if it’s still a problem, you could throw an “if you have x or more minions in your deck, kill one of them.” to make it always inconsistent. It seems manageable if handled right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@PotofDs]

Tbf, Hope for Escape also had some decent results with Final Countdown decks. It topped a YCS at the time before dragon rulers with Hope for Escape, and I got to top 8 at a regionals with it in 2013 with Final Countdown as well. The benefit is that Final Countdown already deducted 2000 lp and you could technically activate any other copies if FC you may have if you draw them to make your Hope for Escapes even more live.

[@TheMongral]

I think a good example for Rarran of a Hearthstone deck that would have potentially used Cardcar D is Spellmage, where the deck was basically all spells. Spells that summon minions, spells that cause damage, spells that control the board, etc. In that deck, pretty much everything you do is with or involving spells, so having a free body that got you +1 would probably be one of the only minions that deck would even care about running and would be an ideal turn finishing effect. In my opinion of course.

Cimmooo : miss something else you can activated two of the same to stack it but then you can activated the diffrente one during the same turn, for example if you activated two of the same you draw 2 card everytime your opponent special summoned from deck or extra deck, and the end phase effect if you play it during your opponent going first they go nut with link summoned and end-up only controling one Boss monster that have a lot of protection and high attack stat, so you might lose your kaju by chance back into your deck untill you have 7 card left in your end during the end of your opponent turn. For the deck that go nut with a full board of monster that negated the opponent stuff, then they would end with 10 card or 11 on the field if they used their own field spell, so you can end-up with 16 card, or 17 card during your turn to bait out all of their negated and still have something to more to do.

The issue with the logic that I don't care about my life points so I use it as resources so hope for escape should be good, is that your opponent doesn't care about their life points either and will also use it for resources. This means both players have a tendency of having low life points which undermines hope for escape. Like, if your opponent halves their own life points with destrudo or solemn judgement, the card is now just a worse jar of greed because it caps at 1 card.

[@ivicapavic3381]

Yeah, who'd want to have cards that go in every deck?! That'd be insane!

[@somethingsomething6977]

ah yes another episode of talkie-mans favorite series, the i talk and explain things for 1billion seconds while everyone else listens show

Dinomorphia says "Hi" to Hope for Escape.

I saw that thumb nail and got Vietnam flashbacks.

[@aradan3913]

From the way it is described, "Chicken game" doesnt feel like a broken card or badly designed. Its effect requires it to be a field spell, but they have such small design space to make it because of how much support and recursion they have, if it's slightly good it will be too consistently good and the best thing you could be doing other than wining on the spot.

[@KhoaTran-md5ou]

a reverted upstair goblin + being a field spell, which enable alot of field related cards

yes my Friday is made! 🎉 better than Christmas!

[@Wenzan3pm]

I remember someone in my locals who played "pot of desires". You can see the color drain off his face as he checks that was banished (his 1 fs 3 of his starters 2 of his extenders even his maxx c was banished hhahaa

[@ignacioperez5479]

Reptiles being a deck that can make a +25 and not win is fucking amazin

[@OrthodoxM0nks]

Hope for Escape could be used for Dinomorphia where you intentionally lower your LP to 2000 or less to activate certain effects of the archetype's cards and have Kentregina at a higher attack while also not boosting your opponent's LP.

[@TurntOddish]

14:00 I expected this to see experimentation in P.U.N.K. and Dinomorphia, but I guess Exodia makes sense too.

[@YukiFubuki.]

not too useful in punk actually since they cannot do anything with it going first and they have their own draw engine in their field spell that is already potentially a draw 4 at max by the time their turn comes around again while dinomorphia can too fast actually half their lp too low to even make this card useful if they dnt open with it

watching these videos not knowing a thing about yugioh is actually really fun

"Only play in exodia deck" Yusei Character Deck user: I'am a joke to you?

[@janisir4529]

Yes

[@numberhunter62]

It'd be interesting to have a video about the cards that got neutered upon release. Like how much they crippled Card of Sanctity.

[@thefirespecialist9007]

Cardcar D could be used in combination with Double Summon, which lets you do 2 Normal Summons that Turn.. you Summon a good/decent main monster, play any facedowns if you can or want to, then Summon Cardcar D, pop its effect, Tribute it, draw 2 more, auto pass turn!

Rarran's take on Desires was spot on...damn

If Shared Ride was a handtrap, it would be insane

[@kylepinpin3037]

I saw Cimo guest in a Farfa video, and I suddenly picked up on his tendency to say the same sentence twice for emphasis. Now it always sticks in my brain lol

[@fatcat2015]

Not to “erm actually”, but Hope For Escape has recently seen play in Paleozoic decklists, but that could have just been in masterduel.

[@pk823456]

Seems like it would be a great Dinomorphia card too.

[@Bob-ss5zt]

@@pk823456 that's what i was thinking too, Dinomorphia's whole shtick is you're at 3 or even 2 digit LP the whole time, you'd prolly get a few cards out of it

[@jk844100]

@@pk823456Dinomorphia get too low on LP too fast to use Hope

[@randomgenretalk8151]

@@pk823456 No, it would be terrible in Dinomorphia, DInomorphia only likes LP costs that halt the LP. Paying a specific amount of LP means that this card has to be either in your starting hand or your second turn because you pay so much LP so quick that this card becomes a dead card. DInomorphia can't afford cards that may be good at turn one or two, this deck needs cards that always do something.

[@legeul]

@@pk823456 Not really, unless you have this card in your opening hand, Dinomorphie halves your LP multiple times too quickly to a point where your LP will be too low to even use Hope to Escape.

[@kiyopawn]

Cimo, you gotta explain to rawran the next episode the whole sangan storyline as a bonus or something at the intro. I would'a liked to see his reaction to it.

[@robertlinke2666]

58:36 i am a banish player, i run all the copies of this card i am allowed, together with necroface(which is one of the few cards that can get them back) soul absorption, pot of desires, draw 2 + 5000LP. then you send 10 cards to banish from extra deck to summon eater of millions, +5000LP. you have 20 cards in the banish, summon gren maju da eiza, with 8k attack. another fun degenerate combo with this deck: dimensional fissure/macro cosmos/banishers together with gravekeepers servant. gravekeepers servant says that to attack, your opponent need to pay a cost, of sending 1 card to the graveyard but the banish cards say that any card that would be send to the grave, is banished instead. so your opponent can not send cards to the grave, so they can not pay the cost, so they can not attack also fun, but not consistent: TRAINS night express knight + heavy freight derricane = 2 lvl10 earth machine monsters, essentially for free XYZ into Number 35 ravenous tarantula. tarantula says all monsters gain attack equal to the difference in LP. i can easily get +10k LP. and easily get a gren up to 8k on his own. so that's a nice 18000 ATK gren maju. the highest ATK value i have gotten a gren is like 27k ATK

[@Pr0phetless]

Blue-Eyes Exodia also played 3 Super Rejuvenation as well. Play White Stone and Flamvell Guard with Cards of Consenence, and drop Blue-Eyes with Trade-In, then draw like, 8 at the end of your turn and drop Exodia

[@satibel]

my reaction to chicken game, not knowing there's 5 billion ways to trigger it: you play this in a burn deck where you put yourself at 500 and the opponent at 1k and you deal with it on your next turn.

[@deathnote5234]

Hope for escape also had success with Final Countdown even with Tyler Tabman winning a ycs with it.
