Joshua Schmidt | Live Twin Runick Spright | Top 32 250th YCS London

[@gekkouga-sl7lb]

I saw you later in the day, but didn't want to disturb, as I knew you were in the top cut. Glad to see you managed to find a spright variant that worked!

[@comfy2819]

Just wanted to say it was awesome meeting you at the event if only briefly, sucks you didn't get further but top 32 is nothing to be sad about in such a big event. Sure you'll get it next time :)

[@duanew587]

Bruh I see him and started fan boying hard, didn't have the courage to say hello cause I'm a scrub 😂🙈

Top 32 at a massive tournament like this is very commendable. Well done Josh!

[@physicalruler321]

Horrible result

[@pinnacull]

@@physicalruler321 bro is upset

[@athenaproductions3569]

@@pinnacull this is horrible result for someone like Joshua, a pro player. This is a great result for someone who goes to locals from time to time

[@Ms666slayer]

@@athenaproductions3569 Taking into account that is really likely that everyone in the top 100 is at the level of being able to go to worlds then top 32 is really good.

[@Sengi135]

Well done Josh ! Looking forward to your stream after ycs

[@anklesthedragon]

This is cool to see. I’ve been playing Runick twin spright since Vegas and haven’t seen anyone talking about the idea. So it’s very cool to see u take it to such a big event and perform well. Congrats!

[@RepTheoAndFriends]

This list looks very good. Congrats on the Top 32!

[@spotsquadgaming2928]

We missed your feature Match on Stream, but really nice List. Keep on Going

[@angramainyu1813]

I've said it to you at London and i'll say it again... You are the man!

[@GiovaniProvence]

The build is amazing i playstest it aswell. I think that matchmech player got very very lucky. But you make the tops thats count

[@Regenalduck]

Congrats on your top 32, it was really great meeting you. I know you must have been tired but you were really friendly :D

[@chiko6484]

I met you at the ycs Thanks for signing my toads!

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

Using a common choke point as a bait card, that's how you know this guy's a pro.

[@Otzkar]

cant wait to try this list

[@hirukashiro5995]

You should have said the "interaction engine" instead of "non engine" as you mentioned in your stream last week lol. Congrats on top 32!

[@bunniyubel3782]

it just occurred to me that yeah, gryphon's floodgate effect is omega relevant into kash and branded, lmao

[@tacotastisch]

I've been playing him for ages in Mathmech. I always asked myself how nobody else was playing him

[@nicholascordulla8914]

Where you not afraid of kaijus ? Or did the other engines usually push through if you did get hit with one ?

[@RenegadeRacoon]

Congratulations on getting top 32. Yesterday I was watching the stream and it was really nice to see how plenty of people were asking how you were doing and what deck you were piloting. You have lots of support from this community and although you did great on this event, we sincerely hope you do better on the next one. Lots of love and our kindest regards.

[@gorsedh]

every ycs should be at least 3200 players or more so that top 32 is top 1%

[@k0ch1]

That's a absolutely sick deck, can't think that by some adjustment can make this deck way better, too bad luck wasn't by your side

[@Gustavo-vu1py]

anybody have an alternative to runick cards? I think is better runnick but my budget build i can't pay for this

[@Kolaaaron10]

Thoughts on playing Knightmare Phoenix to out anti spell since you opened a Bystial, meaning any other monster on board link both dudes into pheonix to kill the trap and otk him?😀

[@Ragnarok540]

Time to respect the Mathmech!

[@arayaerial]

It's sad we can't watch you on feature match , at least Spright fellow win the YCS

[@infinite39212]

Congrats on making Top 32, really liked the deck. Looking forward to the stream after the YCS joshygoHeart.

[@tommoex]

Congrats, shame about the loss to mathmech, would like to know your opinion on the other spright decks that ended up topping too, may make a decent video.

[@catcocaine9698]

Congrats on Top 32! Thoughts on the Julian Nagelsmann banning, how will it affect the Bayern Munich deck?

[@Aw3sumo13]

Been playing Live Twin Runick Spright at locals so glad it did really well at a big event. The advantage the deck gets is insane and Gryphon plus Sunny Snitch is always game and this deck does that alot plus Abomination triggering off Red, Carrot, Twins, and Runick cards are nice. Really stoked for you.

[@jimmygudiel3007]

Hello from the future, how well do you think the deck does current day?

[@TheCardTrooper]

Can you explain further how you play into Ariseheart with the Twin and Spright engines? Especially since there's no Zeus in the deck because of the Runicks.

[@JoshuaSchmidtYGO]

a field of both Twins + a Spright already threatens linkings into purple Link while living the pink Twin on the field to pop it so they‘re forced to Arise there, afterwards you‘re free to play, Gigantic can at some point resummon the Twin they banished, or you can simply Red destroy Arise after it is forced to Trigger on any banish

[@G.G556]

GOAT

[@hannessteffenhagen61]

How do you play vs ariseheart? Just make lil la with lil la + any spright with kisikil still on board? That loses to them just banishing either twin with arise effect no?

[@hzko396]

Finally nice to meet the man himself and congrats on the top 32 would have been nice to go further but it is what it is when it comes to die roll against mathmech. joshygoHeart

[@dpacula63]

I wanna play this version but I can’t afford the runick stuff. I got everything else but the tips are too much.

[@yugiohfanatic1964]

wow so strong player with Ishizu banned guess what? runick spright iz peezy. 200IQ here

[@the_sid]

I’d love to see a more in depth combo video/ Definitely looks like it could be an interesting deck for Master duel. GG

[@08megamon]

How many people are coming back to this video after the new banlist

[@4Kuroi]

How can the Twins play under Ariseheart ? Or what is the Combo under Ariseheart ,Linking into Lilla/Kisikil cant be the play :0

[@frozenbyicebeam]

"Why do you not hate mathmech?" Indeed

[@chasing_it_all]

Great work Josh! Top 32 in a format everyone is still adjusting to is no small ask.

[@nickcook6380]

Its amazing how many people I have ran into that copied this card for card.

[@yugido]

Love to see some live twin make it out of swiss. Good job!

[@Vades]

i do care because they nib me after :(

[@Leonardo.ohime.i]

did you just call knightmare gryphon gryphon rider ? ahah

[@sebastienlamberdiere]

Based deck, unlucky that you didnt win but its an easy spright sweep next ycs bro dont worry about it:)

[@melvinbrookins6313]

how is it unlucky? it was 3000+ people and he still got top 32! thats still a hell of an accomplishment. you cant win them all and he did very well.

[@tacetjackalmighty]

So was the melffy deck a better call for the meta?

[@dapopasd]

The last extra deck card was access code?

[@bevanmcness9497]

does branded expulsion seem like a card that could be banned on the next list if they decide to hit branded in some way. i dont think banning gimmick puppet nightmare is fair to all 3 gimmick puppet players but that card and cards like it are only problems due to expulsion.

[@apocalyps586]

Gg man! I was your round 12 opponent (note to self, don't d barrier xyz). I was stressed out but really enjoyed playing against you, you were a very chill opponent

[@Julio_Valls]

Congrats for ur performance Josh =)

[@colbeytracy3815]

throwback to when josh said mathmech is trash because it plays small world. But honestly congrats!

[@ellius4294]

Hey I am not a TCG player how is the 250th YCS happening at the same time in London, LOS ANGELES and BOGOTA ?

[@MarcelNinety]

Gut gemacht . Top 32 kann sich sehen lassen 🇩🇪✊😉

[@johnbriggs2700]

So I went to YCS London had a horrible stomach ache and went off to relieve myself On the way down I seen schmit himself. The 15 second internal argument if I should talk and risk shitting myself or just walk past. The biological functions won and I missed the chance to thank you for your content. Anyway congrats on the top

[@Gradyboogers]

What were you siding vs spright (heavier negate boards) going second? I feel like drnm could possibly be an option. Or even droplet

[@TeamV_YGO]

What rarity of the I:p???

[@antonBrawlStars23]

virtual world best deck

What do you think of adventure melffy spright?

[@ceelokstah3303]

I got my ass beat on master duel a few day ago. Almost same extra deck list. They didn’t even attack me they just kept setting up disruptions and negates lol

[@07Tussin]

PRAISED BE HIS NAME!! 🙌

[@AlphaSquadZero]

10:13 Why is evenly matched good against ariseheart pass?

[@kiranearitachi]

what happens if kash rips your gigantic do we just not care about the sprights at all?

[@vanguardanon8686]

your last two tournament videos make it seem like it’s the beginning of the downfall of the 3rd reich

[@fuchsi-sama1383]

love it, that he speaks english in the videos but most of the cards are german

[@yardship]

germans speak english better than the english

[@Bennime_Once]

@@yardship They also speak english better than german. lol

[@Xandersmusic]

genuine question from sb pretty rusty regarding competitve yugioh: why is it so important for competitive yugioh to maintain the deck at 40 cards? would 41 cards where you play e.g. a 2nd tactics talent bring more problems than it solves?

[@tecul1]

40 is the "most consistent" when it comes to opening nonsearchable cards, so in most decks, side deck cards and HTs A bit higher than 40 is fine, as long as all the cards added are a similar power level (think Jesse has a video on this too) EDIT: in regards to specifically playing a second TTT, it could be that playing more than 1 can lead to bricking, you can ask Josh when he streams next tho

[@NeyoGaming11]

It's kinda scary he can just top with barely knowing what to play beforehand.

[@90sduelist83]

Did smasher ever come up ? I see why you cut it due to the oddball hands, but that choice to cut is very interesting, since so much randomness running around.

[@spencergeorge6077]

At this point when a YCS happens in EU I just assume a top "" profile will be up shortly after with your name in it.

[@KuroJet]

I lost to Mathmech at locals on Friday. Swear to God it made me wanna side deck Shifter.

[@kekegegege]

Well done on making to top 32! You're the main reasons I got into competitive Yu-Gi-Oh and was one game away from making into top 64, which I'm really proud of for my first YCS. Best of luck and keep up the great content! Also thanks for signing my slime token ❤

[@bootkickgaming6724]

Bro is it me or Pac has similar tech choices. Both getting top 32 as well? Says a lot. Great job!

[@syntetic965]

Played a very similar version of the deck 2 weeks ago and i can tell you guys its a lot of fun. Its really difficult to stop it with handtraps and the evil twins are a good way to out oponents cards without a battle phase. Also liked, that you sided the chaos hunter tech. What is also nice is that its nearly impossible to brick. Thanks for the profile Joshua!

[@youssefbenaziz8561]

Does this convince you that small world decks are pog ? lmao. GG WP

[@tacotastisch]

Really happy to see Knightmare Gryphon shining again. I've playing a Mathmech Deck centered around him for Ages and always thought the card is underrated af. Especially cause 90% of the top Decks arem't playing any real Links

[@MrJordon1862]

Very nice build was a pleasure meeting you on the weekend. Thanks for signing my wind up kitten.

[@lilina7578]

Great job joschua I rooted for you. Im Playing this in Master since Sprite release, I will probably see some mirror matches now xD.

[@thatyugiohplayer4374]

Spright best deck lets goo!

[@ducky36F]

Knightmare Gryphon is low key fire

[@MechaTamago]

Building a Runick Spright based on your design, very fun deck but without elf it hurts but opens up to creativity

[@johnnickfanaccount3492]

Like how u call knightmare gryphon "gryphon rider"

[@vitorapollinario9335]

Josh congratulations on top 32. I know isn't what your expected, and must have been really exhausted with the number of games, but is an great result, and an great deck. Congrats 👏👏

[@Maybeknot666]

Top 32 with a deck you’ve been piloting for about a week is a big W in my book!

>dunks on mathmech calling it a bad deck >Loses to mathmech Big F. I wish you best luck for next time!

Beat Mathmech by applying Bystials, lost to Anti-Spell :P

Yea, Anti-Spell is Mathmech best friend

he lost to anti spell not mathmech, its always the floodgates theres a reason why he hates them so much smh

[@casju]

​@@med3694 mathmech can search anti-spell, which is one of the reasons why its good into runick

@@casju so what are you trying to prove now that Mathmech is good or that anti spell is a floodgate?

[@getsuga10shou47]

nice deck! even after hitting elf spright is such a strong engine/archetype.. i guess on the next banlist spright will get hit if we follog the ocg

[@DjesertGaming]

Played against you round 10 and was looking forward to seeing your list. Kurikara was insane. Congrats on the top :)

[@herbertcharlesbrown1949]

I am glad that you played such a based deck and not the cringe kashtira

[@travisdinham6084]

I predicted you using Spright as an engine and I was correct

[@EggoEspada]

He loves Spright and he loves Runicks. If he could find a way to play them optimally in a format, he would. Turns out he did find a way lol

[@Randomperson-pv6lz]

Good run. Your deck is very good . But unfortunately it has to be anti spell out of all cards

[@sheathvinz6451]

really sad didn't see you on the camera, but congratulation on top 32 !

[@mohammedhussain6749]

This honestly feels more like live twin runick with a small spright engine

[@drunky5247]

When will the next stream be? Btw really nice list congrats

I knew josh was gonna play this deck. He would always be so nonchalant about it on stream 😂

is spright twin runick better than spright twin

[@zweis]

Thanks for bringing my Live Twins up

[@hectormoreno3940]

Thoughts on cutting runick and playing handtraps? I like how playing with handtraps is "simpler" to play with as Runick cards you have to skip battle phase.

[@dakotarogers3954]

I feel like hand traps aren’t as impactful compared to the resource gain from Fountain, imo.

[@Ben2k109]

Lazy deck but congrats
