How To Properly Prepare For A Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament (Feat.

[@AnRuixuan]

Damn all of your collabs lately have been absolute bangers. Incredible to see Josh on the channel!

[@EMPCraft]

Diverse formats are the best (imo) because they reward good basics, knowledge and fundamental understanding of decks/interactions/goals.

[@aaronmorgan5860]

The hardest thing when deck building is deciding on the tech options for a given format. Deciding between going 1st or going 2nd cards, and cards that can work on either players turns. I struggle at times deciding between trap cards and cards that can work on either players turns. A good example is the difference between Solemn Strike and Book of Moon. It's interesting, because these two cards can have a lot of different interactions against Kashtira. Mind you, Kashtira runs forbidden lance at times, and solemn strike can get around forbidden lance due to being a speed 3 counter trap. However, book of moon is more flexible when it comes to going 1st or 2nd in a game.

[@shadowrabbitygo]

I mean you pretty much explained it perfectly, a lot of times some cards end up being worse because they’re slower (traps) even if they’d be better in a certain situation

[@LIM-xn2pp]

wow quality content you have been releasing lately goog job

[@Dinsho_]

after watching this video i got perfect information

[@malevolenceygo249]

Joshua's points about picking something consistent, strong and adaptable are on the dot! I've been rocking despia for a while because of that reason. So glad to see you getting bigger names on your channel, and I loved the vid with Jeff Jones.

[@xyz-dharak]

This was so intresting. This is peak content. Great vid. Amazing!

This is overflowing with great points and information, thanks for sharing this to both of y’all

Glad you enjoyed it!:)

Love these videos! Glad I followed when I did. Seeing you talking to other players is always great.

[@seddyx8994]

Oh my goodness she got the legend with the perfect information. I'm glad that you're starting to get noticed more keep it up Love the channel love how you keep us updated to be prepared for future formats and what to deal with during current formats.

Another great video! His advise about playing your opponents deck seems very helpful.

[@giohimejima]

its so cool seeing my two favorite players and content creators together

[@finnianfanning3136]

One thing I struggle with is finding time to grind Yughioh at the moment. Between work, gym and my relationship I genuinely struggle to figure out how people like Joshua have time for Yughioh and everything else. Maybe I need be more organised or try prioritise the game more. That or accept that other things are more important to me.

[@shadowrabbitygo]

I think u pretty much answered it urself

[@isaiahgonzalez5055]

I play Amazoness! I recommend this deck for beginners too because it is very consistent and pretty strong when played right. Thanks for this video! I am looking forward to going to my first locals. (:

As a mathmech player I felt pain when he talked about stopping circular 😂

[@christophersebastiao7501]

The way you feel about your circular, is how I feel eating an imperm on my Mo Ye 😂

[@Dreadlash]

As a Mathmech player, I think it's manageable

Thanks!:)

[@nzardoin]

This is a great video. I have one suggestion: you mentioned at 30:54 that there are resources online to check out for more information and rulings. Can you point us in that direction? I’m trying to get much better and more competitive. Thank you

[@shadowrabbitygo]

Hmmm there’s content on yt, my channel has a playlist dedicated to rulings and a rulings quiz, other than that a lot of times u’ll be able to find rulings for specific cards by just googling interactions. OCG database always updates rulings and usually ygorganization.com posts about those. There’s also Judge’s Lounge on fb:)

[@nzardoin]

@@shadowrabbitygo thanks for the help! I’ll check out the website and your playlist

Commented a bit ago how he watched your video on stream and now he's in a video. Can I say I manifested this lol

[@JMoreTCG]

Great insights

[@ducky36F]

Joshua always has perfect information ;p

[@cnssegura]

Do test hands all the time with each deck I have. Must be an old school yugioh player thing, but he's not wrong about the why.

[@GunnerDuels]

Josh’s hat hair is another animal we need to ban 😂

[@conradgarcia-hauzer4630]

To be fair even for seasoned branded players especially if you're playing bystials and all the new stuff what you dump off bf can change every hand

[@shadowrabbitygo]

I think it's pretty obvious I was giving an example, when u activate a card u should know what you're trying to accomplish with it

[@Sauceboi26]

As someone who doesnt play in tournaments, does calling a judge on someone whos rude and slow actually do something? Like what is the judge gonna do kick em out on your word that they are rude???

[@shadowrabbitygo]

When a judge comes, both players will have to give their sides of the story and I think at that point it's fairly easy to determine which one is telling the truth. That kind of behavior can then be penalized, yes

[@Sauceboi26]

@@shadowrabbitygo dang soo they do usually kick em out? 😂 dammm

[@Kloudd21]

@@Sauceboi26 usually the player that did wrong, gets a warning first. If you then continue with the behavior, then yea you can get disqualified

[@seddyx8994]

I would like to add this when someone call the judge on you for slow playing don't get mad at that person calling a judge for you their helping you understand that you have a time limit to make it plays we're not trying to make you feel worse we're trying to make sure that you stay on track with the time and make sure that you make your plays in the official amount of time so that way when you start getting used to it you guys will get better. I'm telling you this channel is amazing guys she's doing a hell of a good job she's going above and beyond to help you be prepared for events this video has to go viral I don't care this is to help people get better at the game this is very good information or should I say what Josh says perfect information.

[@shadowrabbitygo]

Thank u for such a nice comment:)

[@seddyx8994]

@@shadowrabbitygo no problem but I'm glad that you go through the perfect explanation I literally just watch the whole video and I just loved it it's so accurate it is good to help prepare people for these bigger event such as YCS followed by worlds. Like Yacine656 says you make it so skillful at yugimons!

[@anotheremail7118]

The only thing I'm struggling to understand is chainlink priority/blocking/timing. Are there any resources that can help me understand these things better? For example, how mo ye into Chixiao you chain link 1 Chixiao and chain link 2 mo ye. Or with floo you chain link 1 bird on the field and chain link 2 banished bird. What part of the text implies this type of chain blocking/priority? Is there something I'm missing?

[@shadowrabbitygo]

Uhm u can look up the yugioh fast effect chart and that should clear some things up hopefully:)

[@billybobmcbo6077]

Look up SEGOC (simultaneous effects go on chain). There's a few nuances to it, but the gist is that the player gets to choose the order that trigger effects go on the chain when multiple effects trigger at once. If you're coming from master duel it's confusing because the rules are a bit different there, but in the TCG it's the players' choice how the chain gets built up from multiple trigger effects

[@anotheremail7118]

​@ShadowRabbitYGO I mean I understand the basics of chain linking but I've realized there are some cards that allow you to chain link 1&2 before the other duelist has a chance to respond. I'll look into the fast effect chart. Thanks for the heads up.

[@anotheremail7118]

@@billybobmcbo6077 alright this SEGOC explained it perfectly. When multiple effects trigger at the same time, the player gets to prioritize the order in which they play out. Thanks Matthew and Shadow rabbit!
