[@cuchutrain]

Holy shit that was actually me. I pulled a couple from selection box, and thought it would be funny since lancea is such a good tech right now.

[@ReiMizere]

02:03 damn, those Rank 5s look like they wouldn't be randomly stopped by the police

[@cuchutrain]

Dang it, I knew someone would notice this. I recorded it, heard it later and was like, fuck-it, Im sure no one will notice,

Ah yes Rank 5 synchro

[@DuelLinksF2P]

if this skill ever gets reverted you bet imma immediately jam it with crystrons, i dont care if they have no synergy, ill create the synergy out of thin air

[@MazuiLakon]

💀💀💀 they just banned nurse burn

You build crystrons like that one kid that does jigsaw puzzles with a hammer. And then hit kog with it anyway.

[@Otzkar]

@@cuchutrain they should give back the crystal beast skill

[@felixdaniels37]

I find it baffling how THIS is considered too much while Zombies have been running rampant for months with busted skills that do so much more. Make it make sense, Konami.

[@StarkMaximum]

"Put a Dark Verger in the graveyard." Konami: That's too powerful, it needs to get nerfed. Also Konami: Okay, do you have a minute? Sit down and get a snack, we're about to introduce a skill that just plays your deck for you and generates literal free advantage. I'm not even referencing a specific one, they just keep fucking doing it.

[@extrashoddy]

It took me until today to realize dark verger had a mouth. I wish I hadn't realized that.

[@cuchutrain]

Whats crazy is neither did I until I had to zoom into the art for one of the jokes in the video

[@F...B...I]

Now we wait for the nurse burn video about its downfall and the first card to ban so fast in duel links clocking in at 1 month and 13 days I believe😂

[@N12015]

7:20 Almost all players who played during 2011 know about Tengu plant summoning Trishula with Spore. The card even got banned at some point because... Oh yeah, because Konami wanted to sell dino and Wind-up XYZ product considering the same ban list also banned the problem card in Trishula, but that's besides the point.

[@thatmspaintgirl]

2:22 WHERE did you get this art of Junk Synchron JoJo Posing??? I need the full version.

[@cuchutrain]

[@Cerbleur07]

Konami would never, EVER add monsters to the graveyard for free, do you think they are crazy enough to ruin gameplay just to sell cards out from chaos? PFFFF, NEVER!!!! They have ethics you know. It's not like they just decide to toss random junk to the grave just for the sake of selling dragons, they would never do that!

[@cuchutrain]

its funny you say this because at one point I tried to make shooting star road madolche deck, since the skill has deck requirements, but not summoning requriements.... yeah it was bad.

[@StarkMaximum]

@@cuchutrain based, actually

[@nintenx1235]

Honestly they could've just done a shooting star road and made the skill require a certain amount of plant or "rose" monsters to activate.

[@dantevic]

Well that one strong plant deck is coming this month.

[@Jaiden-100]

6:10 this part made me laugh so much 😂😭😂😭 I love your videos man

[@riodaweirdo3062]

Honestly what did Konami think Dark Verger was gonna do in Rikkas anyways??

[@meofficial7210]

Specter is coming. I wonder....

[@Ahegoalover420]

Amazing video very cool. I almost forgot that skill

[@ZeroNobody0]

love watching your videos man. bin playing since the very beginning and its nice to see videos like these. also do you draw all your pictures like akiza watering the plant

[@cuchutrain]

Honestly Im just really glad that you can enjoy watching these even if you know the whole story already. And yeah, I think most of the drawings are me, they have a look to them.. they LOOK like they were drawn by an elementary schooler lol

[@neonoah3353]

All i have to say to this is: "Fuck konami and fuck dkayed for nerfing this skill" That asscuse of a youtuber kept asking for this skill to be nerfed, and he actually got what he wanted when konami decided that THIS was too strong. This skill was literally my favorite skill to play rose dragons, and was my first kog using naturia.

[@arkz-nero9674]

Let's keep the 5D's train rolling with Obelisk Resonators next.

[@cuchutrain]

actually thats a good idea. Obelisk resonators, and Dhero plasma resonators were so fun

[@santiagocaballero3111]

Crazy that in response to this video John Konami added the Sunavalon Dryas to Duel Links

plant's are coming back baby

[@jonkeuviuhc1641]

Next month we are getting Specter, a plant playing character, so if we ever getting WGITG unnerfed, it will be next month. PLS Konami.

[@literallygrass1328]

They gotta un nerf it man, if they can make the shiranui skill dump the sword guy, search, and setup your link monster, i think we can get a free plant monster

[@SonicFan-db3dz]

Are you planning to cover the recent Nurse Burn FTK in Duel Links and why it got recently hit.

[@SonicFan-db3dz]

The skill even got stealth fixed where it doesn’t guaranteed the enemy gets heads and works as intended from Master of Destiny Skill along with the recent announcement of the limited list update.

[@cuchutrain]

@@SonicFan-db3dz Yeah Ill cover it at some point. Usually I wait for all the dust to settle so i can cover everything that happened in 1 video. And also thank you for this, I actually didnt know they stealth fixed the skill. Though lets be real, that was a really bad design oversight/bug on their part.

[@DragonWaffleX]

Haven't played DL in a a while. But I used that strat to summon level 5s in 2018

[@maa3563]

9:22 what were you playing back then?

[@elementalherosparkman168]

Love your videos!

[@michelebitetti230]

I got my first kog with this skill, was a very fun time to play

[@shubhpatel619]

I remember playing this in madolche before xyz's were even a thing

[@-Pulsar-]

I unironically quit duel links when they nerfed this skill. It was one the few skills that allowed you to essentially brew anything that came to your degen mind. It was super fun to theory craft decks while in its pre-nerfed form. After it got hit it felt like you really just had to play what ever slop konami served you as the new archetype of the month.

[@antoinecabot9622]

I hate konami so much for killing thses generic skills that helped rougue/unsupported archetypes/strategies. When they killed the labyrinth builder skill I cried

[@expic3954]

PLEASE bring back this skill!!!!!!!!!!

[@mohamedhazem4065]

Have you thought of making videos about the downfall of certain archetypes like witch crafter and cybers dragon or how blue eyes never really left the meta

[@cuchutrain]

blue eyes being popular is like a running joke in duel links at this point. So yeah I should add that one to the list. Cydra i did a video on at one point, and witchcrafters I can do if i can think of something fun with it.

[@ZackeroniAndCheese]

Excellent video

[@darklight1030]

Duel links meta doesn't have all the history catalogued. One of the best ways to play WGITG back in day was yo run "angel trumpeter". Level 4 plant tuner with 1900. Bring up verger, and synchro level 6, archfiends call. Then run Battle tuned and you can banish trumpeter to boost archfiend to 4100. Non targetable 4100 beat stick

[@neonoah3353]

Pretty sure even back then, this was just a niche strategy that nobody ran.

[@darklight1030]

@@neonoah3353 Myself and a few others ran this variant and it performed very well. Either way, it wasn't meta or anything like that. My comment was for the content creator

[@ajayusspiritus6955]

Don't know if you made a video about it, but Yugi's Destiny Draw skill

[@cuchutrain]

I will add that to the list. Can't forget about looping battling boxer veil with a non once per duel skill.

[@NicolasCaja]

okay, im a yugioh lame man, only been playing like for a year or so, but how is that plant in the graveyard skill any different to the black luster stuff i usually play? 1 tuner in the graveyard too strong but 7 cards in the grave + extra recycling and drawing is okay? note that i dont want my black luster to get nerfed, i like my lame deck, just trying to understand 😗

[@blexander]

That's the joke. Konami nerfed a skill that was fairly inoffensive and somewhat balanced for its time, only to make several skills that do the exact same thing, but better.

[@neonoah3353]

I Tell you how. A famous youtuber that abadoned this game after masterdurl released once made a "ban list prediction" video, and in it, he asked for this skill to be nerfed because "making a rank 3 and a lv6 synchro is too strong". Said asshole had a fandom full of glue eaters that couldnt play this game properly to save their lifes, which just meant that a bunch of idiots decided to should everywhere that this skill wss broken and needed to be nerfed. Some time after that, rikka would be releasing and guess who asked again for this skill to be nerfed?

[@elvenatheart982]

Sweet video Fun fact although I have not played in 2018 I chose Syncho Deck in Master duel just for the free Junk Synchrons back in2022😂😂 How does Alistair and this card get u to that fusion monster I don't get it

[@cuchutrain]

I got you. In most other formats, you summon aleister, search invocation, then link 1 aleister into a fire or light monster. This lets you then use invocation on aleister + the link monster into mechaba or purgatrio. But in duel links you couldnt do that link 1 part in 2019, so you would just have aleister stuck on the field. BUT if you started with dark verger in the grave, you could use invocationt to fuse aleister on the field, and dark verger in the grave into big rock, effectively turning it into a 1 card combo, just not a very good one.

[@elvenatheart982]

@cuchutrain thanks I forgot Involation can use GY too, pretty nice for 2019
