Scapegoat chained on Imperial Order would be Spell Speed 3, though, right? Because Imperial Order itself was already on a Chain. Spell Speed 3 would require a Counter Trap Card.

All the cards were Spell Speed 2, because you can't activate cards in a chain with a lower Spell Speed than the last one. Chains resolves backwards, so Scapegoat summoned its tokens, then Imperial Order negated spell effects on the field, and then because of this, it negated Mystical Space Typhoon.

i had the same but as a returning player i was on the other side,not goat format rulings but nowadays chainblocking,inherrent summons,missed timing ,just to not play because of a)1000 omninegates or floodgates on the board,b)handtraps,c) meta cards which costs 50 bucks per copy when you need a playset which you wont need after next banlist cause you need sth new but as expensive...

[@Zelnyair]

Mystical Space Typhoon was activated, Imperial Order was activated in response, and Scapegoat was chained to it. Quick-Play Spell cards and Continuous (and regular) Trap cards are both Spell Speed 2. Because it's Spell Speed 2, you have to respond with cards that are Spell Speed 2 or higher. Chains resolve backwards from the last card. Scapegoat resolves and summons its tokens, then Imperial Order negates Spells on the field, and then because Imperial Order resolves before Mystical Space Typhoon, MST gets negated. At least, I think it works something like that. I'm still kind of confused to be honest. Not gonna lie, I have no idea how something like Destiny Hero Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer works with this, because its effect lets it pop two cards simultaneously. I don't know how it works with two potential effects going off at the same time, or if negating the destruction of one target protects the other target, and so on :P

What. That means that it passes the Bechdel test, not fails. Failing the bechdel test means that you don’t have two women characters talk about anything but guys

@@batknight2014 You can't fail it by having two women talk about a guy, its failed if the media ends without them talking about anything other than a guy. That said, its kinda unclear if the duel counts or not when they both explicitley mostly care about it for the sake of a guy

I'm just imagining Bakura, when this arc finally wraps up, being like, "Finally, it's time for my plans to come to fruition!" and then 4kids comes in like, "actually, we wanna hawk our stupid capsule monsters game." and then he just screams in agony as another filler arc wastes his time

The 3 phases of watching a new YGOTAS episode: Phase one: Shock and excitement to see that LK has uploaded a new episode 🙀 Phase two: Pure joy watching the most hilarious and entertaining fifteen minutes of your day 😸 Phase three: The wave of ensuing sadness once the video is over, knowing well that it could be at least a year until the next episode, or potentially longer 😿 I know you’ve been going through it lately LK and that these take a lot of effort to make. Whether it takes a year or two, I’ll be very grateful to watch the next one. Thank you for all the laughs! 😺
