"That's a lot of words, but I am happy for you" was so accurate

[@Benjamin_w02]

13:50 ‘that’s a lot of words man, but I’m happy for u’ 😂😂

[@prestonmccoy7097]

I was really hoping Infernoble would have come to MD on this new pack. I’m really ready to play with the new support.

[@setsana_inc]

Same

[@CaliburXL99]

Gotta get through Dark Wing blast & Code of the duelist 1st. Don’t expect the Infernoble support in MD until 2024 probably.

[@prestonmccoy7097]

@@CaliburXL99 I hear ya. You’re probably right, but Konami seems to just drops decks/support way earlier than expected from time to time, so that’s why I’ve been hoping for it soon. I realize it literally just came out in the end of August if I remember correctly, but they gave that Sky Striker support only two months after it hit TCG, so you just never know.

[@CaliburXL99]

@@prestonmccoy7097 To add to your SS example, they literally just gave us the new VS card that debuted in our most recent TCG set AGOV. So you’re right we don’t know but if I were a betting man it won’t be till early 2024. We’re still missing the rest of the branded support so I’m hoping Dis-Pater comes in December along with Luluwalith.

[@prestonmccoy7097]

@@CaliburXL99 I certainly don’t mind the rest of the Albaz/Despia cards. Huge Dogmatika fan, so those cards were next behind Infernoble for me. But we’ll see.

[@atdaniell2797]

Take a shot every time Pak calls a card broken.

[@inversedelta9829]

Hard to have an extensive vocabulary when you don't know how to read.

[@ThePheonixOfThe6]

Josh's question regarding not opening connector is valid. However, there are numerous 2 card combos that all do the same thing and several of them will insulated with either baronne or gearfried. Most times i am never afraid of getting hand trapped. Gas gas gas

[@astral_08]

I would say Infernoble is very consistent deck... But very hard to pilot, cz you really have to understand each infernoble card effect, each of them have 2+ different effect for different situation. Museum n Angelica is very powerful support card this deck really need... R-ACE also can work very well with Infernoble (since most of infernoble card mention fire warrior, n not specific noble/infernoble). But the hard part is the ratio in the deck building...

[@setsana_inc]

Enjoyable react. I'm quite proud of his pilot of this deck

[@screamordie1000]

We banned Halq, Verte, Summon Sorc, Curious, but yet out of so many years how has isolde never been touched. The card was always ban worthy just other problems came before her

[@saitougin7210]

Btw, LOL: the advertisement in the upper right corner of the screen looks like Pak wantet to stay anonymous.

[@NLNArkenred]

Ogier is also a 1.5 Card combo if you have an equip spell

[@JayFnkay]

“Also you could’ve played qcr nib so it would be 12 matching handtraps all qcr, did you think about that??” 💀😂

[@abendsonnewarriorcats9474]

Someone count the times this man says "like"

[@fisix4phun637]

These rarities are out of control.

[@simonepiolanti6991]

The rarity really depends on the card. For example, I love QC Terraforming, but most of the cards in that rarity are painful to look at and the artwork is hardly recognisable sometimes. Also, they are ofter way too much sparkling. In an artistic sense, I also agree about too many of them also make everything flat. For me jap ultimate is also too glossy (except some card). Instead, CRs seem just a better version of secret rares, with not covered artworks, but enhancing it

[@aerialjohn8631]

What you said about little knight is a real problem imo. A card that warps a format so much by itself MUST be accessible to everyone (but we all know how it works). Usually such cards don't last long in the game, so i hope it either gets an accessible reprint within 6 to 8 months, or is banned within this span of time

[@gigadon120]

It's the next spright elf for sure

[@SharkTCG_]

I’m so happy for Infernoble, i’m playing the deck even before the supports came out (Mikanko Infernoble Dracoslayer) and finally the deck is being recognized by the community, the deck has a lot of potential and can easily win a YCS one day, also s/o to Pak coach (and mine too) GianfrancoH for being a genius of the deck🎉

[@Xero-rr2ol]

it was once top tier... yk back when halq combos were in full swing tho those were dark times.

[@CaliburXL99]

@@Xero-rr2olU mean fine time with smoke grenade? Played 60 cards Igknight Infernoble back then 😂

[@PrototypePlatform]

we need an "unironically" counter. for every time josh uses the word "unironically". regardless of if the thing hes talking about is ironic or not.

[@rj8097]

13:29 that's a lot of words but I'm happy for you😂

[@YarnLalms711]

That round 1 opponent was my friend, I felt really bad for him

[@OfficialSipSlo]

Everything is broken got it

[@David-hw9si]

This deck is actually extremely unfair and has CYAC SHS vibes prior to Scarecrow being banned. If it goes first, you're not stopping the deck with 2 hand traps unless your opponent doesn't know how to navigate through them. Isolde sending equips for cost is actually such a broken mechanic whether the special summon part goes through or not. Not to mention if they start with Connector, you are pretty much forced to use one of your hand traps in an sub optimal spot. High impact wise Nib works reasonably well if your opponent opts for the most greedy line, but if they don't you have to Nib at a bad place. Droll actually does a lot less to this deck now unless they have to start sub-optimally. Board breaker wise, thanks to the new Angel Ring, even if you play "un-responsible" cards like DRNM and Super Poly you would need to open 2 of them. The only card i can think of that can break their board with boardbreaker is Sphere Mode, and only Purrely can play that. Let's say you break their board somehow going second, but was unable to establish a strong board yourself (likely, since you have to play through multiple disruptions), they have infinite follow-ups in the graveyard. Honestly, I only expect this deck to get more popular and perhaps at that point the community can figure out if there are better cards to side against them.

[@AljoschaW1993]

Dont forget the Fire Princess i think this you must play there and the Link 4, cut 1 Sp amd something more

[@brandoncunningham7253]

Playing around nib with apollousa is so broken it crazy

[@dandelions907]

Everything "so broken"

[@Carlosanormal]

Play board breakers or hand traps? Me: why not both?

[@johnnycapote9817]

We need this in md🤦🏾‍♂️ same with unchained

[@ethanhopper2467]

New salad stuff too

[@harrya9458]

Master Duel is getting close to being a year behind on tcg, not even mentioning ocg, and it’s really ridiculous

[@hiimroo3120]

As someone who’s knowledge only comes from masterduel, I’m currently on the fence about a few decks to build next. What decks that have been out in MD so far would feel similar to infernoble for me to decide if it’s a play style i would enjoy and start putting some gems into getting the core cards ready before support comes

[@janieraltreche1989]

Infernoble easily play through 2 hand traps

[@DMCEagles05]

im starting the think josh dont liek pak lol. goad video tho

[@jayman445]

The biggest and most important part of the deck and the decks play is lying to your opponent about effects and rulings, shuffle cheat and ignore card restrictions. With all those skills mastered you will go far

[@jameeljohnson19]

Lets just hope this is the one time infernobles get any sort of tops and doesnt become a tiered deck 🤞🏿

[@ashikjaman1940]

Ah, ptsd hitting hard I see

[@jameeljohnson19]

@ashikjaman1940 nah, not really, I would just like to keep all my cards. I love Isolde too much 🤣

[@alfredoceballos956]

Sound like pak was using up most of the match’s time on his turn smh

[@AldricSaint]

How many games did Pak win by flash banging his opponent with so many Quaters

[@mr.zluxsd539]

Early squad

[@alexanderpondarius8586]

Someone explain to me how he got 3rd place in a format that you cant build a deck competitive due to the fact that there are too many decks in the format....i mean he cant get third in the worst format can he?!!! LMFAO jk i love pak he did great even though his previous take was eh.

[@aczeos]

Downvote Pak because he was missing a QCR. You immediately get my upvote 😭😭

[@jujubeanz009]

This is Yugioh to a “T.” New, un-read archetype go BRRR until the match-up is recognized and finally countered. That’s how most match-ups are won and bc there’s so many decks this format, who has the time to learn every single match up

[@ivicapavic3381]

is Pak a millionaire IRL? WTF?!

[@OmarPerez-tl3rj]

Do u think this deck is better than mannsdium? Explain why not and why yes

[@roxas4587]

it doesn't outright lose to droll :v

[@zweis]

​@@roxas4587 Hoban's profile says otherwise

[@platypuspatrol9625]

I think it's better, it can play through more disruption and has more game going 2nd than Mannadium. Mannadium's "cool thing" is that it can do the calamity lock or FTK, but setting up a full Infernoble board isn't really much worse. Infernoble is just way more versatile and resilient

[@zweis]

​@@platypuspatrol9625Mannadium is better going 2nd imo but they're probably both fine

[@jameeljohnson19]

Infernoble has more space for non engine in the main, as well as having legit ways to out spell speed 4s. Getting hand knowledge, potentially taking out hand traps and setting up early negates is a plus as well. It doesnt lose as hard to droll but may lose harder to cards like tcboo and d barrier. Although astraloud can jist out a tcboo. But mannadium is also known to losing to silly stuff like mud dragon. Manadium has more gas, but infernoble has alot more versatility in how it wasnts to play out its hand andnhow it wasnt to play around interruptions

[@SorenArcwind]

So what was that whole deal I heard about Pak cheating, or something like that? Does anyone know?

[@dudesk099]

Misusing Turpin. He was called out on this day 2 so God knows how many times he won previous rounds that he shouldn't have. Take this 3rd place with a massive grain of salt. He said he didn't know but Pak paid for coaching for this exact deck before the event

[@lionofthebluevale7170]

​@@dudesk099lol this most be some salty loser that Pak stomped in swiss

[@Alex-Omega]

He just missplayed, no big deal. Dont listen to those lame people online

[@qwertyg3666]

qcr cards look really tacky. Very much not a fan of the rarity.

[@Chillyvanilly]

its not top tier if you have only 4 one card starters

[@stuckmeister7750]

This logic is flawed. Unchained only has 3x tour guide, mannadium only had 3x riumheart (unless you play tear planet) and so on. Not every good deck has to be a 1 card combo deck.

[@Alex-Omega]

Not a fan of those Syncho bunches. They always need ages for their turns, never stop playing and setting up boards with tons of negates. People hate on Pendel and Link but Synchro is the most toxic and annoying mechanic and Infernoble proves it again. I hope the deck gets hit hard next banlist

[@xerospades]

Synchro is not the most annoying mechanic.

[@Damers88]

So much waste of money for shiny cardboard.

[@GutsmanLoL]

Get ya money up brokie. 💪🏻💪🏻💯💯

[@yy5173]

I mean they are probably a insane investment. S:p was like 300 and is like 500 now Apo was i think 500-700 at release and is at 1k+ now The Ashes will go crazy in a few years most likely, card was like 120 a week ago and is 150+ now

[@inciaradible7144]

I like how the format sucks because there's too many different decks, but 90% of the cards in this deck are "broken". Obviously cool deck, well-piloted, and well-build, but everything being called broken, busted, and banworthy is a little eyerolling.

[@jarom1144]

This guy was literally just complaining about the format. This basically shows me that he was just lazy as a pro to make a creative deck. Bet he's not complaining about it now.

[@Surime]

Maybe Pak woke up form his bin finally 😂

[@davecatss6652]

pak being salty over not performing. imagine.........

[@GofUrselv]

Negated super poly. Must have been another one of those “unreleased to the public” plays that his coach taught him. Pak got to make a lot of very interesting plays in this ycs. Some that were legal and some that were not.

[@greenhillmario]

Please read Angelica’s ring if you want to get on pak’s case for cheating cause that works like magician’s right hand

[@vanessareid5518]

do you guys get paid to be this weird or do you just spend your time doing it for free

[@e-tan3911]

Angelic Ring does not activate. It's negate effect is mandatory, so yes, it does negate super poly. Read the cards.

[@absentmindedshirokuma8539]

Wait until he see it's not the first nor only one that can "negate" superpoly
