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.

[@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 😂🙈

[@Sengi135]

Well done Josh ! Looking forward to your stream after ycs

[@TeaGarrison]

Great work, Joshua. I knew you’d be on a Spright variant. it’s awesome that you took it so far and I’m glad Samir brought Spright all the way to the top. Hopefully you’ll get the next one!

[@FretfulArc]

God this list is so sick, congrats on the top!

[@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!

[@infinite39212]

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

[@RepTheoAndFriends]

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

[@V4Lanz]

thanks for the content as always and i wish you luck in the next big event

[@chasing_it_all]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@weis2098]

congrats streamer man! we will be waiting for ycs london breakdown stream!

[@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

[@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 ❤

[@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.

[@Otzkar]

cant wait to try this list

[@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 👏👏

[@DjesertGaming]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

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

[@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.

[@danielmokobia106]

Thanks coming to London hope to see you again

[@Julio_Valls]

Congrats for ur performance Josh =)

[@Tidalclamp98]

Good stuff josh 🙏

[@zweis]

Thanks for bringing my Live Twins up

[@07Tussin]

PRAISED BE HIS NAME!! 🙌

[@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

[@MrJordon1862]

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

[@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

[@MarcelNinety]

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

[@phoney4258]

Congrats on Top 32 widepeepoHappy

[@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

[@chiko6484]

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

[@abskale570]

🐐!

[@sheathvinz6451]

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

[@CanerBoy61]

King of Games !

[@TEAMyugiUS]

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

[@Maybeknot666]

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

[@Ragnarok540]

Time to respect the Mathmech!

[@bootkickgaming6724]

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

[@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

[@hottsaucekid]

This deck looks so sick

[@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?😀

[@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

[@G.G556]

[@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!

[@xpouk1471]

What do you think of adventure melffy spright?

[@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

[@thatyugiohplayer4374]

Spright best deck lets goo!

[@tecul1]

o hell yea

[@tacetjackalmighty]

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

[@yugido]

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

[@arayaerial]

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

[@Gradyboogers]

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

[@drunky5247]

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

[@driptcg]

Nice

[@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

[@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?

[@skrypt0rs660]

Which oversleeves du you use ?

[@frozenbyicebeam]

"Why do you not hate mathmech?" Indeed

[@MechaTamago]

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

[@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

[@chrisszocker866]

Best streamerman

[@Gustavo-vu1py]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@dapopasd]

The last extra deck card was access code?

[@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.

[@azazel2114]

My Streamer

[@jakehxllxws259]

my streama*

[@nicholascordulla8914]

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

[@4Kuroi]

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

[@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.

[@Stylercom113]

This deck is the most played spright deck

[@ellius4294]

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

[@TeamV_YGO]

What rarity of the I:p???

[@AlphaSquadZero]

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

[@catcocaine9698]

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

[@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.

[@ducky36F]

When the mech is math

[@johnnickfanaccount3492]

Like how u call knightmare gryphon "gryphon rider"

[@wardenwest5152]

Good morning josh

[@slavencarapina2831]

is spright twin runick better than spright twin

[@ducky36F]

Knightmare Gryphon is low key fire

[@deanefe9]

Cool deck profile. But at 7:51 how does the Ki sikil go to that zone if no link is pointing at it?

[@Bennime_Once]

If a Link gets summoned from the grave you can summon it wherever doesnt have to be a linked zone.

[@deanefe9]

@@Bennime_Once oh he summoned it from grave. Oops.

[@nickcook6380]

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

[@KuroJet]

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

[@Leonardo.ohime.i]

did you just call knightmare gryphon gryphon rider ? ahah

[@hypnotist1200]

Can't let the runics go lol

[@Videoguygamer]

"Gryphon Rider" lol

[@charlieeasdown7229]

Toby is the 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@Gonzalez9379]

So I’m kinda new to yugioh. How is it that the twins play well into Ariseheart/shifter? If you go for the evil twin shenanigans, they’ll be banished so you can get them back or am I missing something?

[@JoshuaSchmidtYGO]

Chaos Hunter is what makes you beat Dimension Shifter, Twins just help you flood the board and force Arisehearts banish effect a lot

[@Gonzalez9379]

Makes sense, thank you!

[@colbeytracy3815]

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

[@Alex-Omega]

What are those outer sleeves?

[@JoshuaSchmidtYGO]

dragon shields

[@Alex-Omega]

@@JoshuaSchmidtYGO So, 3 layer of sleeves I suppose?

[@kiranearitachi]

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