Ravine Rulers (2013) vs. Nekroz (2015) | Cross-Banlist Cup 2019

[@riccardozaramella404]

Probably the best match of this cross-banlist cup. Thumbs up

[@OutbackYGO]

The next match is going to be absolutely insane too... *I love this series* :)

[@Sketch_XR]

I've never been so invested in a match as I have for this! I am so happy Nekroz pulled it out.

[@otangakudyokeman7124]

that is nekroz for you

[@jthememeking]

Basically it's whether the monarchs can consistently get their boards out.

[@gengstar09]

Monarchs have never lost a duel (unless they bricked). I am curious to see if Zoo can overpower Monarch’s high ceiling. I feel like Ash Blossom is going to be a key factor in this match-up. Turn 1 Majesty’s fiend single handedly stops Zoo.

[@otangakudyokeman7124]

let's hope they will get it

[@daraenmetaknight8148]

zoo plays 2 darkhole 1 raigeki book of moon and tribute. They can definitly out Monarchs going first with a good opening hand and going second i dont see Monarchs taking a game and Monarchs can brick. 3 : 2 zoo edit: dont forget about ghost ogre

[@domafox]

I have been waiting for this match up for such a long time, cause while Zoodiacs has the most power crept cards in the game such as Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, and even Dimensional Barrier, Monarchs has Storm Forth and Pantheism at full force and since this is the extra deck version, it has potential to give Zoodiacs a fight especially with Majesty's Fiend in the main deck. I am looking forward to watching this battle and I am rooting for Monarchs.

[@VICE-H3RO]

I don't played competetive yugioh anymore but I love watching these cross tournament series. Nostalgic and fun to watch.

[@johnnywilson3071]

Interested to see what deck you'll choose to a video with of the three decks that just got their LV3P monsters revealed.

[@supermariobrosz8]

Vanity's Emptiness and Return from a Different Dimmension stealing games, they are banned for a reason XD Monarchs are going to 3-2 on Zoo, unless they brick hard, which is not that uncommon

[@musiyevonchilla6769]

In the OCG u have emptiness at 1 😀

[@xy394]

No idea why OCG thinks Vanity is an ok card XP

[@TrianglePants]

because like TCG they dgaf

[@LordSillyBottom]

xy394 1 Vanity is fine.

[@supermariobrosz8]

@@LordSillyBottom Sacky one of that will probably win you the game? Seems fine to me (no irony)

[@Charmander_R27]

Zoodiac will take it 3-2, but I feel like the finals will also be Zoodiac vs Extra Monarchs again, regardless who wins this one.

[@restoredtheology3689]

Wish I could have afforded playing when these decks was out. Very great video and duel lithium.

[@coveringgrape5251]

Heart: ED Monarchs, Head: ED Monarchs. Don’t underestimate them

[@zig555]

Sad rulers are out but that was a good match especially that first duel. Sorry Lithium but I think Zoo might stop the tyranny of Monarchs 3-2.

[@SakuragiLastname9]

Why didn't you torrential his decisive armor. And in the last game why didnt you set the trap stun along with the blast? 50/50 he misses wing blast and you can use it during BP

[@cydra-evolution5623]

Can you tell us who you think will win the next match the previous video instead of that video if you know what i mean. Also i hope you make a tier 0 tournament now that master rule 4 can cross with master rule 3

[@TheDortmunderJungs]

woah that first one already a fantastic duel, those can only be good!!!

[@LukesYuGiOhChannel]

Pretty good win there for Nekroz. Lithium got the Sixth Sense off as per usual but couldn't help him this time. Zoodiac 3-2

[@troyalexander52]

Is it possible to have a cross banlist but just ban every floodgate? Really hate when floodgates decide games.

[@toteruntoter]

Omg best Match in the Series really so nice 😍

[@EspoCreations]

Why no trick clown in nekroz?

[@HareHaruhi]

Who would win an annoying bug or a vane boi.

[@xMousieBoix]

Vanity’s emptiness is so fair in this match.

[@emildokle261]

Amazing matchup! Next match will be the one where Monarch finally loses, 3-1 Zoodiacs

[@ChimeratechRage]

I think zoo has the next one 3-2. It's far more consistent and has a lot of interruption.

[@WuffyDudeD20]

Just a tip for Rulers since you’ll probably play them again eventually: I noticed a lot of the time you send trigon even when you have access to card trooper. Card trooper acts like a better trigon because it can mill 3 for cost and you have a color dragon that you don’t have instead of trigon. Debris can reborn trooper.

[@otangakudyokeman7124]

OMG, One of the best games out there !!! one of the best matches for sure (not the best tho xD but damn I can't stop getting excited

[@inciaradible7144]

Amazing match, unfortunate about the Emptiness, but those were some excellent duels; YGO at its finest. Next match will be difficult, but I am gonna give it to ED Monarchs; Stormforth Ehther isn't that powerful against Zoo, but it does quite a bit and D-Barrier won't do enough; Viper is a real pain, though.

[@LohanChannel17]

Nice duels GO NEKROZ! Next one iam sheering for Monarchs but its against Zoo's so its gonna be tense... going to call a 3x2 for Monarch either way

[@TheMacroShow]

I don’t want Zoo to win anything. This deck is the reason I quit Yugioh in the first place Monarchs 3-0

[@TheSupermannbatman]

at 7:02 that was a misplay if you activated torrential tribute you could have won because it would have got the 3300 monster off the field and he couldn't have trisula you.

[@tcenzo6722]

Amazing Duels, The Battle of the Giants and the next one is following.. I hope for Monarchs, but I think Zoo's will win this 3:1

[@Samusin.]

it can actualy be pretty tough for zoo… that is if monarchs can establish a good enoug board… and even if they do they have to keep it somehow… i woldnt be suprised if monarchs would get 1-2 rounds in but in this specific matchup i'd rather play no extradeck for the domain lock and even that feels iffy… zoo just so lame…

[@Sh0ecare]

Zoodiac is probably the better deck, but I can't not root for monarchs so I'm gonna pray they don't brick and win 3-2

[@osoriochavezmiguelangel4813]

This Should’ve been the finals of 2017 Cross-Banlist Cup☺️

[@scrubbyygo969]

That was such a great duel with back and forth

[@maxicruz246]

Las últimas partidas de la Coss Banlist están siendo muy ajustadas.

[@A11sopp]

Engine to Engine Rulers are definitely the better deck in the matchups but the floodgates are just massive.

[@zenmaines355]

Game 1 was a huge misplay. He searched Trishula and you used Wing Blast on Unicore anyway instead of Juggler, and that let him make dweller.

[@thesaltking7355]

Monarchs all day BABY!!! LEts hope no missplays!

[@isaacladrondeguevaramorale1331]

lithium missplay with monarchs?

[@thesaltking7355]

@@isaacladrondeguevaramorale1331 its happened before. Far more frequently than ppl wanna acknowledge

[@mardshima2070]

Freakin' awesome match. Somehow I think their chance not that good but I going vote for Monarch 3:2

[@VicRTH]

Emptiness was pretty key for Nekroz this time, but great match and great for Nekroz still alive. ED Monarch 3-2, they have the cards and combos, if our old friend the brick doesn't appear of course.

[@ethan7359]

The Emptiness sack made up for you sacking the Nekroz guy with the Return earlier in the match. Oh whale, definitely a great match on the whole. Calling Zoo to win 3-1 based on the interruptions they have plus Monarch being a house of bricks.

[@Real_Sp00ks]

Damn, good match, glad Nekroz managed to clutch it out, good play from both of you. Damn, powerful matchup. Gonna have to go with Monarchs since Magestys fiend just craps on Zoo. Monarchs 3-2

[@Thecurseofsanity]

Wow this was a good match!

[@ericksantander4437]

JUST AMAZING...

[@rueblie2627]

Never thought I’d see a day where I root for Zoodiacs but here we are. Zoo 3-2

[@SparklingThunderPK]

Oo this next match gonna be good but I have to go with Zoo 3-2

[@Broadbull-q4f]

Great video

[@tl4038]

Thank god. Dragon Rulers vs newer decks are being carried SO HARD by Maxx C. Without Maxx C, they wont do shit vs newer decks.

[@engelsvladimir7727]

Nekroz got carried by vanity's.

[@BenediktWernicke]

i think zoo will win over monarchs unless monarchs always open field spell monarch and stormforth or they go first. zoo is just too consistent and got something like ash blossom and ghost ogre. let's see how this goes. depends on who goes first but i believe monarch should atleast win once

[@sidX-CEO-IS]

If monarchs go first win, also zoodiac have 3 death cards in form of dimensional barrier

[@RandomCommenter955]

YESSS THEY WIN (no spoilers though)

[@ProfessorVitale]

Probably one of the more fair matches. But the next one is going to be great. Monarchs are strong, but I think zoo will take it 3-2.

[@DarkFireBlade25]

you drew 5 and still lost LOL wow that was rough

[@Broadbull-q4f]

Ed monarca vs zodiac va hacer un encuentro electrisante

[@YukifuneAiri]

It seems hard for monarch to win vs zoo but then,lithium is the one who plays it,so maybe 50-50.

[@euler625]

Next one will definitely go to Zoo, the only way Monarchs could have won this was If they could sack with Domain Lock, but in a even Grindgame Zoodiac is just too consistent.

[@gunsandroses234]

Saddest match I've ever watched in the Cross-Banlist Cup

[@brandont7523]

Such a good match. Although this was basically a showcase for why Maxx "C" and Vanity's are banned.

[@boraaksitozgun9912]

Don't think maxx c accomplished that much here...it was mostly vanity and return that stole the games.

[@RobPalmer454]

wow what a comeback

[@samskott2344]

What a match! Too bad Emptiness had to kind of ruin that last bit. Still great though!

[@thenightstalker6165]

Stop complaining about a one of emptiness it's not broken and should have stayed limited you complain about vanity's but I saw rulers open same hands every game and always had sixth sense and max c

[@co8wei]

+The Night Stalker The whole point was that Vanity's was a one off and he drew it nearly everytime which is bullshit. Whereas dragon rulers have a ton of draw power so of course they would see their one offs.

[@achmadthoriqalhafiz9075]

no wonder emptiness banned

[@Broadbull-q4f]

Great secction crossbanlist

[@aaronsamuel501]

That 1 copy of Emptiness stole the last match :/ really sucks as Rulers are one of my favourite CBC decks to watch!

[@Thecurseofsanity]

I swear that 1 Emptiness steals more games for Nekroz than any other deck wins off their Royal Oppression or Emptiness. Nekroz abused Emptiness harder than any other deck back in their day though

[@pro711200]

@@Thecurseofsanity nekroz have a lot of deck thinning and draw power plus can stall games out. Not surprised.

[@co8wei]

@pro711200 Nekroz don't have any draw power apart from Valkyrus. They were solely relying on top decking or opening with the emptiness so this match was incredibly unlucky for the dragon ruler player.

[@pro711200]

@@co8wei what are you smoking? Literally all the wins the ruler player had were because of sacky 1ofs like return from the DD and six sense. Nekroz completely outpaced rulers. In terms of draw power, Valk every turn is quite a bit of draw power.

[@co8wei]

@pro711200 I'm not smoking anything my dude. Nekroz ways of getting vanity's: Starting with it, Deck thinning to draw it on turn start, upstart goblin, Valkyrus. Rulers ways to get DD and sixth sense: Maxx c, Cards of consonance, ,sacred sword or seven stars, card trooper, sixth sense, Starting with it, Deck thinning to draw it on turn start.

This one felt deserving for Nekroz, even while winning Ravine Rulers felt against the ropes, also sacky one offs got Ravine Rulers 2 games. I'm quite confident in Monarchs barely defeating Zoo. 3-2

Vanity's emptiness vs maxx c was a good match.

[@GamerGhostRider]

Even though I think Zoo is the better deck, I'm still rooting for ED Monarchs. With Lithium playing, they might pull it off. 3x2 for them.

imagine losing 2 games to a sacked 1 off

I was rooting for nerkoz from the start, but honestly Vanity's for the win.

[@juancotena8957]

Oh sure, Vanity’s Emptiness is cheap, this coming from one piloting a deck running Return from a Different Dimension

Told ya Nekroz had the advantage. TOLD YA Emptiness would steal one. Next up, Zoo should win, more so when they get rolling

[@daraenmetaknight8148]

I vote for zoo; 3 ash 3 ogre 2 darhole 1 raigeki and book of moon. Monarchs are weak against handtraps and zoo plays 4 maindeck outs against majestys fiend.

yeah there's no way zoo will lose next one

Even with sixth sense and Max C rulers couldn't pull that last win. This makes me sad. Ah well, my money is on Zoodiac next round.
