How Douglas Tepper Won RBET NY and Changed Gladiator Beasts Forever

[@E3YuGiOh]

Doug wanted me to plug his high end collectors group on facebook if you wanna see some swag cardboard, check it out: facebook.com/groups/846143402811573/

[@PhonkLover5588]

Douglas Maxwell Tepper here, thanks for the opportunity to showcase my deck on your channel. I really appreciate it man! Hopefully my profile will help inspire more people to explore new tech cards in gladiator beasts. Edison is the best format let’s gooooooo 🎉 P.S. The round against Machina I lost 1-2 sorry for the oversight

[@E3YuGiOh]

❤️💪 cheers bro. Thanks for putting on for the people

[@purduebro]

Thanks for making my edison locals be flooded with glads 😂

[@richsilverberg9902]

ggs man great run!

[@ContractUnavailable]

I was an gb enthusiast, but man this deck list made my deck so way up against all metà decks

[@ContractUnavailable]

Thanks bro for letting us know the way to play gb right xD

[@tommasozagolin3152]

This is top quality content imo, you see a player coming up with an original decklist and obliterating the competition made up by long-time validated decks. This is just the definition of peak yugi for me, and I wanna see more of this

[@E3YuGiOh]

Same tbh

[@DiverseStyle]

_Me remembering "Gladial Eatos" decks from OCG channels 14 years ago_ I think the timeline's finally reset.

[@bobbybero7452]

What goes around comes around

[@E3YuGiOh]

The OCG usually way ahead of its time, just pretty bad at optimization.

[@Jade_Hanson]

You know a duelist is salty when they say, "if I drew X you would lose" lol... bro depending on 1 heavy storm to carry his deck.

[@TruePartyKing]

Doug definitely deserves a glazing for keeping the vibes high throughout the top 8 grindfest. Watched our top4 match a few times and damn my matchup inexperience really showed… but no longer! Next time I’m at least getting a game off you, Doug! XD

[@E3YuGiOh]

Would be hype to see a rematch!

[@Kushypanda]

resident macro player is crazy😂appreciate the shoutout doug! you cooked fr🔥🔥

[@ZiaEdisonTCG]

Love seeing innovation in this format! Really hoping to see the meta shake up with more creative players like this man.

[@josephs.4813]

How did he do it? Step 1: Be unbelievably based

[@javislugo6835]

Man you really ate up with Nickys boss monster congrats i was honestly hoping for a new glad list

[@slowpokew2282]

I love the List! Very Straightforward, no Bricks, 9 Ways to dodge BTH.

[@LBcash12]

Doug has skyrocketed himself to GB superstardom. What a legend. #60cardEatosGBbestDeck

[@simonedangelo1308]

Would love to see that Six Sam list

[@E3YuGiOh]

Will do what i can ❤️

[@ContractUnavailable]

Yooo this gb list is fire, no way one of the best deck list for gb

[@MrMirofl]

great vid! yeah find the six sam guy

[@E3YuGiOh]

Will do what i can 💪

[@douglashoffman7129]

Not this Doug 🤔🤔 Dougs unite

[@aalparikh]

Just a few questions: 1) After the first copy of eatos hits the grave, do the second and third copies just become bricks? 2) Any room for secutor in the deck? I feel theres no good tag options early game (both GY's empty, no monsters on opponents field, etc.) and secutor could really put pressure on the opponent. Or do you just sit on 2100 laquari in these scenarios?

[@myeternalsin]

If it was mentioned in the video I must have missed it, but what’s up with the AbZeros in the extra deck?

[@Sn33k_]

Just because he can. GB doesn’t really make any other extra deck monsters. Just to fill the space

[@myeternalsin]

@@Sn33k_ fair enough lol thank you!

[@evangelosalexiou3605]

Is the deck weak to Skill Drain? You have 2 Dust Tornado in the side but I am not sure, do I side in Sirocco just to have the stats? Then if I eo that, do i also side in snowman? Against what do you side in snowman, generally speaking?

[@ejayagnes]

How does the plays work when you mentioned comp and book on test Tiger. Also when skill drain on the field, how were you able to pop when you comp and book of moon byst? Still learning some GB techs lol thanks

[@henrycarter5340]

Skill drain specifically says faceup monster so if the monster isn't faceup when it's effect is resolving, then skill drain won't negate it.

[@ejayagnes]

@@henrycarter5340 So it’ll be CL3 right? Thanks!

[@henrycarter5340]

@ejayagnes yea so you can go Cl 1: Bestiari effect target backrow Cl 2: Opponent flips skill drain Cl 3: Book of moon or compulse on bestiari Resolves backward Bestiari returns to hand or is flipped facedown Skill drain resolves Bestiari resolves with effect because it is no longer face up. You can also do this even if skill drain is already faceup

[@maninblackmetal]

Not to mention trap stuns

[@soundwave9560]

i feel like draw cards in place of 1 book, 1 compuls, 1 trap stun would make this less bricky

[@Sn33k_]

you literally don't brick with this deck

[@alexYu-gi-oh]

Do you people watch the video before commenting? He literally said the deck dont have consistency issues. I swear some of yall seek to make decks worse 😂

[@soundwave9560]

I did watch it but I don’t believe him 😎 if I see a video of the deck played and not bricking I’ll believe it. and I also don’t see how 3 draw cards that just draw into more defensive cards anyway makes the deck worse.

[@slowpokew2282]

How does the deck even brick except for drawing 0 GBs? Drawing Multiples of Bom, Compulse, Trap Stun, Eatos should be fine.

[@Omegateck16]

First off congrats on getting 1st with this list. Is this the future of glads? Im not sure.I feel like test tiger is a must play card, otherwise you lose too alot of common things that you cant get around otherwise, as a frog player I fear test tiger all the time when im playing against glads. What I do like is the trap lineup though. There's alot of good reasoning to play the compulses and trap stuns with smashing ground in this deck.

[@E3YuGiOh]

Tiger into secutor can be crazy, but generally speaking they're pretty high roll and expect the opponent to have nothing to go right. As edison format gets more developed, we gotta stop expecting our opponents to have nothing.

[@alexYu-gi-oh]

@@Omegateck16 how can you see the very FIRST glad beast to win a big event is a tiger-less list and still say tiger is a MUST? crazy.

[@Omegateck16]

@alexYu-gi-oh You can't fall into the trap of results based analysis. I give him his props,but that doesn't mean it's automatically the best list. Things can be refined and improved upon always. The community has a tendency of seeing top 8 lists and netdecking the latest ones without any thought processing.

[@alexYu-gi-oh]

@@Omegateck16 oh please dont come at me with the holier than thou tone lmao. Im not following a topping list blindly. I played glad and i can tell you for a fact that tiger is easily interruptable. I'm not saying a list would be the ultimate truth just because it won (it won btw, not just topped) but you saying tiger is a MUST after literally a deck with no tiger won means you don't know what the word must means, because if tiger was a must then the list wouldn't have won.

[@Omegateck16]

@alexYu-gi-oh A lot of things can win events, and I can question their logic and reasoning. My friend won a big edison tourny last month with a blackwing deck with a lightsworn engine and Caius. Does that automatically mean everyone should copy-paste a list and it's correct? No. I already said I liked the trap lineup alot, not sure about everything else going forward.

[@1985mitsui]

Forbidded chalice is good with trap stun for me

[@soundwave9560]

will u show some duels with it?

[@E3YuGiOh]

Yea I streamed with it today

[@nicolaskrohling]

I build this deck for try, first hand was a brick kkk and lost game 2 trap Stun, 2 Starlight , 1 Chariot And draw Waboku

[@E3YuGiOh]

Thats crazy bro. Good thing there's 3 games in a match

[@Jade_Hanson]

@@nicolaskrohling sounds like a skill issue.

[@wolf1yug]

Anti spell sounds awful against lightsworns. Lyla and ryko eat them up

[@PhonkLover5588]

Set Ryko vs this deck. You will get gyzarus’ed or charioted. Lyla will get compulse, booked, bottomlessed, or charioted

[@E3YuGiOh]

Even if the ryko/lyla is resolving and hitting anti spell, you already slowed them down turns on using their spells and theyre not hitting the real backrow or the monsters and you're free to tag. Seems like a win

[@raffigarnighian760]

How u let BUGLESS BEPPER win???

[@E3YuGiOh]

Bro cooked. Deck is unreal

[@NextGame1004]

i build this deck and played like 3 matches. i brigged the fuck out with eatos. it was dead everytime in my hand. funny thing is i still kinda won some matches but i didnt really enjoyed it. i had like situations where i had 2 in my hand with 3 gbs in the grave. also i dont rlly understand how you can only play 1 equest. if that dude gets prisoned or bottomlessed you are not able to ever recycle your chariot, which is a huge downside. i tested your built with 2 equest and one got bottomlessed first turn after going secound, but i was like „atleast i have a secound one“ and why didnt you play Transmigration Prophecy? not only is this a really good anti card, it unbricks your eatos. i didnt quite unterstand that, because when i think of eatos, i think of this trap card.

[@E3YuGiOh]

Yknow I'd b interested in seeing ur replays lol cuz I'm curious how u managed to get 3 glads in grave

[@PhonkLover5588]

@@E3YuGiOh I have no idea how that would happen unless he played recklessly into backrow or some unfortunate series of events happened.

[@alexYu-gi-oh]

@@NextGame1004 you are a bad player. It's simple as that because there is no other way you'd end up with 3 glads in gy

[@NextGame1004]

@@alexYu-gi-oh bro you dont even know me lol. i dont have replays because i play irl. like i said i built it irl and i think i couldnt summon it once. maybe i need to test it more though, 3 matches isnt enough but my mentality was already like "this is like a brickcard". and you cant always keep your gbs from dying, its stricly not possible.

[@NextGame1004]

@@PhonkLover5588 funny thing is that you kinda need to play angressive and it takes some risk to it. you cant wait everytime for some keycards to get an attack off, its just sometimes not possible. there were enough situations where i had to murmillo something and couldnt protect it, because i had like a starlightroad and trapstun or something else in play.

[@eded94]

that BW idea sounds very bad 😂

[@__gavin__]

I mean he's basically just describing Vayu, so its not a bad idea its just already been done.

[@eded94]

@@__gavin__ vayu uses the bws that function from gave. bw itself is heavily normal summon reliant so adding even more sounds really bad. the whole point of the deck is getting a nomal summon to stick
