MBT’s sleeve game playing a Joshua Schmidt deck with Circular sleeves 😂

[@aether6293]

im clueless can you give me the context?

[@Edgelordfosho]

Josh has stated before he hates mathmech circular and cards like it due to how overly splashable it is in cyberse archetypes along with a myriad of other reasons

[@Hempujonsito]

​@@aether6293 Joshua is the #1 Mathmech Circular hater

[@aether6293]

thx both of you

[@sluggernott]

His reaction to seeing the circular sleeves on his deck is priceless. hahahaha

[@turtle-bot3049]

That pure zoo fornat (before draco) was so fun. I was playing crystrons that format and it was so good. It had a good zoo matchup, its paleo matchup was decent as well since it had a good resource loop. Draco (master peace) just made crystrons completely unplayable.

[@devilbhrothesavage2807]

Dracos killed the entire format. MACR for that reason is my most hated set. Every deck needed 80 bucks Ash + the format was dogshit cause True Draco/True Draco Zoo with the only enjoyable deck being True King Dinosaur Yang Zing. True Draco especially felt unbeatable as rogue decks.

[@GyzelE]

Every time i see this card resolve when i don't have a negate, i surrender before it resolves. Easy enough to negate, but man this card is so strong when it goes off.

[@ozzy6831]

Nice to watch after Josh made the new Paleo list in Master Duel

[@Emporkommling]

I love how annoyed Josh gets at how bad they both are

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

Me watching the Crystal Beast episode in a nutshell. I really hope they don't try to players Conclave Control on Tear format, because I'll be SO pissed when they inevitably mess it up.

[@aovroxie3346]

I mean at the end of the day this isn't supposed to be a pro player game, they are still content creators. I don't think it's fair to judge someone who is playing a new deck every week and nit pick what they did wrong from someone who cooked with these decks for multiple months

[@danha3107]

kinda crazy and cool how Josh just scanned the list and remembered exactly that it was his despite it being like 6 years old

[@prodmoira]

You're white

[@xCorvus7x]

Looking at that Lightsworn pile, imagine resolving Grass and milling all your Spells.

[@tubbytoadinc-yugioh7220]

I ran a 60 card varient of lightsworn when grass was legal you didnt so much rely on the grass so as it was mainly used to make 3 copies of omega and start your opponent with half a hand running things like brilliant fusion and preda plants,

[@ducky36F]

Cimo certainly knows how to waffle 😂

[@tristan4807]

60 card Paleo is such a cool deck, kinda feels like Runick Spright in some ways with just a strong rank 2 engine and a tonne of powerful generic effects that would gain additional advantage all in engine.

[@vicentepalma999]

even thou that lightsowrm deck list was dog water, it pains me to see how cimo missed so many clean plays like returning a card with omega and use snow to chain block

[@meathir4921]

The list was fine; it’s a blind second list that sides Omega to loop for going first. It’s on the high roll side but Cimoo is just a bad pilot.

[@davecatss6652]

snow to chain block. go touch grass

[@mrsquadbot]

FREE HIM. I can be trusted with Grass Dragon Link Tear Runick

[@GyzelE]

Every time i type Runick, these 2 emojis pop up instantly,🤢🤮, as I used the emojis in conjunction with Runick so many times 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tadejzinreih5071]

Please, do more reaction videos for the Cimooo series

[@sammydray5919]

Please watch more history of yugioh (or even just history of jank). I wanna see Joshua mald more over their plays lmao

[@justinpennington6680]

Yeah that made it infinitely more entertaining. I like the history series as a whole so watching them while he reacts is great

[@SittonSpin]

Free the homie grass. My baby.

[@avins6145]

challenge accepted

[@ultimetacooler]

Grass changed deck building, I wish it was at 1 so we could have some fun with it… but they would have to keep Snow locked away

[@estebanminnoye1236]

"hello :)"

[@vampyrusblack494]

If i remember correctly Maxx would have been at one in this format cause it would get banned Shortly after this.

[@cuttlefish6839]

Fluffals had a short period of time it could have been meta but they refused to give fluffals the ocg cards till after it lost that time

[@eonflutehza131]

Does anyone think drident would be anything close to a mistake if it was brought back today?

[@frig7014]

Feels like it would just be a nice tool for rank 4 strategies, slightly bumps up the power level of rogue, broadbull on the other hand..

[@eonflutehza131]

@@frig7014 honestly the only thing I see broadbull enabling is more consistent tri-brigade decks

[@Hempujonsito]

Drident can't come back as long as Zeus is legal tbh

[@Ms666slayer]

@@frig7014 Broadbull was never the issue, if Broadbull was the issue then Turbo Zeus would've still be competitive after Drident band, Drident is the issue, because it was the card that gave the deck any kind of turn 1 play, and also i made summoning Utopic Draco future way more easier and consistent, without Drident the deck is a hard going second deck that has almost no way of defense if they get stoped, also Drident was what people went if for some reason you couldn't summon Zeus, so yeah Drident is and has always being the problem.

[@toadallynoodle5414]

@@Ms666slayer Broadbull was absolutely an issue as part of the Zoo engine, a Non-HOPT ROTA for almost any Beast-Warrior is an absolutely cursed mechanic with 3 Tenki and the ability to get multiples of them in a turn or Drident with Ratpier is absolutely cursed and has only aged like a fine wine with stuff like Tri-Brigade and monster-lite strats like Eldlich. Any deck that doesn't need a Normal Summon would absolutely love Zoo for the ability to have access to Drident/Broadbull, or easy access to Zeus/UFD

[@lucaslennan3356]

I get that they don't have a lot of time to practice, and that it's a pretty difficult deck that really isn't even that good, and that the goal of the deck isn't immediately obvious. But it's still really frustrating to see Cimo completely fumbled showcasing the deck. I won't blame him, I get it. But it's important to say that this episode doesn't represent the deck honestly.

[@sluggernott]

Fair assessment. I think they'd both admit as much. They arent pro players either. Think about that the people who played these decks spent considerable amounts of time practicing them, compared to what these 2 are doing. Neither of them are bad players by any means, but its about dedicating to the craft. Unfortunately, this probably only get worse as they advance to even more modern times, outside of maybe decks that they actually played themselves.

[@ducky36F]

This is how I felt watching Cimo play Chaos dragon against Dark world. Holding bloody Lightpulsar in his hand waiting for it to get sniped when the card floats on the field 🤦‍♂️😂

[@invertbrid]

Hmm i still dont undertsand how these 60 cards grass or lose deck even a thing.... I mean ur trying to activate unsearchable 3 ofs in 60 cards deck? How that even consistent.

[@The_Vanni]

left arm also has 3 additional copies, + desires which is pot of greed

[@invertbrid]

@@The_Vanni so 9/60.... fair enough i guess. Actually decent chance

[@jps_user20]

@@invertbrid That's why joshua's deck doesn't depend on the grass. Most of the good 60 card deck make Grass as a win more card rather than "I need grass to win"

[@traplover6357]

Grass was either the most advantage or win more. And if you played 40, the most advantage grass would be even more likely.

[@nbassasin8092]

Having a "Im absolutely winning if this simple spell resolves" in a game is still degenerate as hell Nowdays most decks would just run it as a win more but even if it was a grass or lose, that even being an option is a degenerate thing Some strats dont get hit because they are too good, but because they are unhealthy for the game

[@whateverdot]

Lol when I watch their games I'm the same. Unfortunately they are both pretty bad but still watch the content

[@manjackson2772]

I'm willing to put a lot of it down to recording tax + not having a ton of time to practice and learn the decks for one video considering everything else they're doing.

[@ducky36F]

@@manjackson2772 yeah gotta cut them some slack they play like 2 new decks a week for a week. It is still frustrating watching them butcher a deck you like but it’s understandable 😂

[@nbassasin8092]

I'm willing to bet that 99% of you chatters that say this, would play 10 times worse if you were in their spot, excluding some of your pet decks that you may know how to pilot

[@inciaradible7144]

The Lightsworn pile is awful, but Cimo sure is a horrible pilot of it as well. ~25:00 No you go Bull and search Rat!

please for the love of god, ban grass
