Looking at the Yu-Gi-Oh Mod for Slay the Spire...

[@Nyoxide]

As the creator of this mod, this video was extremely entertaining. Thanks for playing! P.S. Sorry about the orb volume 🙃

[@fdragon77fk]

My dude, what were you on when you made the card effects. Why does superbia do burn damage? Like I get its summon from.the graveyard thing probably wouldn't work well but what was the reasoning?

[@TheZomboy11]

Love your work man, amazing you managed to get all those effects working while keeping yugioh magic in them, well done good sir.

[@MovieSimpClips]

Have you fixed the cards that were not working correctly in the mod? I wanna try it out but not if it’s still broken. P.s Amazing mod 👍

[@xbon1]

where the updates been broh, last one in 2023. looks interesting but is it not WIP anymore?

[@saint-xiv2649]

as someone whos never played yuhioh the absolute chaos of this was so funny, the relic pool would be like "on the next full moon draw 16 red fire type attack cards and summon 3 majestic golden orbs, apply 15 turns of the leftovers at the back of the fridge's stink debuff to a random enemy" then "pen nib" XD

[@umbertorossin5977]

You know, this mod really channels the experience of playing Yugioh from 0: you look at a million different cards all that do a million different effects and are supposed to be played in a very specific way, interacting with a few specific cards. All while you realize that you have no intention of ever playing it unless someone makes a youtube video explaining which cards interact with each other and how to make them work.

[@sharplosion1]

I've played this mod very extensively, unlocking every available deck and playing them all at least once. Really, while it's overwhelming at first, it really isn't that bad. Each deck has a set card pool, meaning you get appropriately themed cards to keep those specific decks fairly consistent despite the sheer number of cards, while also offering up completely different gameplay styles. The Zombie deck has lots of play with the graveyard, while Toons deal damage to you but are all more powerful than the average card. It's all very unique, and while it can seem like a mess, the mod absolutely deserves far more praise and recognition for not just the sheer volume of it, but the many creative playstyles it has.

[@rompevuevitos222]

Only issue i see is that by StS standards, it is very generic. It has a lot of numbers, but those numbers don't have any interesting mechanic. StS has a very different approach to content from Yu Gi Oh which focuses more on bloat.

[@samfonze1382]

“Hey honey you watching Tricky again?” “Yeah” “He playing the spire game?” “He’s trying his best to. Unfortunately he’s lost his mind because fire doesn’t deal damage to burning enemies and the mud orb sounds horrific and machines have to chance to grease enemies.” “… got it”

[@samkilby7411]

I tried this mod out like a month ago, had no idea what was going on but I think I made it to act 3. You have way more patience than me I was just clicking random stuff and sometimes it worked sometimes it didnt.

[@tricky8068]

made it further than me

[@CoffeeSipper555]

@@tricky8068 i just put high rated cards jn the deck , 30 min act 4 , autopilot deck, i can see why there is a higher Difficulty because the cards power level is insane .

[@kuribohking3240]

I’ve been playing this game competitively for over 10 years now, and this was an absolute fever dream. Idk what to say my head just hurts

[@LaViejaConsolada]

There's a cry for justice in your tone. You gotta love it.

[@sospear6472]

I feel like I just got out of a fever dream drugs, drugs and drugs. That’s a different (in the good way) kind of entertainment compared to the usual videos since im more trying to improve with them ^^ appreciate the new kind and would love to see more wacky mods (that may not be an entire fever dream with no similarities to the character its supposed to be at all lmao) and thanks for being so entertaining all the time with these 1h+ videos :3

[@ivansokic7590]

this video made my day, love your content man :D

[@JeremyMYG]

I’m only 13 minutes in, but your reactions to what cards do is cracking me up. The mod creator keeps you at a raised voice. ☠️

[@stroppy6998]

oh boy i sure do wonder what effect machines might apply on there targets

[@hugh1146]

Played this mod for a little while and there’s SO much there. Can’t wait to see what you do with it :)

[@BlitzDG]

I can wait. Forever. Please.

[@matthewfanous8468]

accurate representation of what it feels like to go from Slay the Spire or MTG to Yugioh

[@miguelmackay4851]

watch a man complain about every single thing in the entire mod for 1:11:24 straight without anything else in the meantime

[@darkpwnu9189]

Actually sent me belly laughing at the end when you mentioned there’s a small chance to apply grease xD

[@mbutcher4711]

Man that was hilarious, also proved to me that no matter what gibberish you come across its really entertaining to watch you

[@almosteducatedmf8352]

This is probably one of the most vague and esoteric mods I have ever seen. Also tricky confirmed best Yugio player east coast???!!!

[@SamLindsayLevine]

Hilarious video. I don't think we need to revisit this particular mod again.

[@sneaky3014]

This video had me in tears haha. Your reactions were hilarious

[@crazzilla7203]

This was hilarious, especially the overly loud orb saga, and the 'high' chance to stun. Looking at the full card list at the end probably explains why all the effects are so janky, the amount of time the author mustve spent importing all of these is insane. Literally looks like 500 cards in that list, and its only ONE of the six lists there. I definitely dont think its meant to be a balanced slay the spire -esque experience or YuGiOh playable in StS. Its more of an engine for silliness with YuGiOh flavoured cards, and every random effect and mechanic the author could think of jammed in.

[@charliethekobold516]

please play more of this mod yugioh is my favorite thing

[@fatrickbateman9473]

I was thinking it was gonna be more about summoning monsters in front of you to fight. You could have started with really low max health and summon monsters in front of you to take the damage, kind of like in yugi-oh, protecting your life points. Summoned monsters add ethereal cards to your hand as their attack and defends and some offer innate abilities like card draw and stuff. You edit your deck at campfires, have a side deck where you can remove or add cards to your deck. A little disappointed that’s not what it does.

[@johnnyblunders]

What are you doing here go make a mod

[@JeremyMYG]

The pure chaos of your commentary before the run even started. ☠️ There a bunch of starting decks + Challenge mode + 7 card “relic” things? I have a million questions.

[@TeethbatFGC]

Ten minutes in and my head is already gonna explode

[@ouplas]

I'm at 40 min. I have stuff I need to go do, but i can't stop watching that train reck of a mod. I don't care much that the cards don't do what they do in the Yugioh game, I just care about the mega confused mud orb at the moment. What a way to watch your new type of content after leaving when you stopped the video montages.

[@sirjimby7107]

I can already tell Tricky is going to grind this character to A20 and he’s going to upload in a week where he just rips the spire apart.

[@sirjimby7107]

Or not, just finished the video lmao! What a wacky mod

[@davidpopplewell8466]

This mod is great for content creation in the sense that there are so many jumbled random ideas in here that it’s great to see your reactions

[@mirageowl]

this feels like a fever dream

[@Ahzealion]

If it wasn't for the fact the machines have a chance to apply grease to the target this run would have been over the moment you layed eyes on hexa.

[@applesfromeve]

I tried to go find the 2013 national championships online to see if I could see you there

[@nhbons783]

11:45 It tried to attack the dead monster. Didn't auto redirect to the other louse

[@furiousfemmeyazeth3362]

I just had to put a comment here as my brains are accelerating. I really don't want to come across as hyper negative or try to downplay a creator's hard work, but the quality of this mod is wanting more. As a former competitive player who still plays the game and has played since I was a young child, I have an intimate knowledge of the card game and the card pool so I was just as flabbergasted as you were with the differences from expectations. Obviously for cards that destroyed monsters doing damage is acceptable, but for cards like Mudora that channel orbs???? As you know Mudora is just one of Ishizu's random Fairy monsters that has a continuous buff effect. Is it because it has Mud in its name that it does this instead??? Also there are just made-up cards like Lightning Darts??? Been playing this game for 20 years so that is the first time I ever heard of that lol. I'm jesting, it's just hue shifted Fire Darts. Speaking of Fire Darts, I actually like the idea of the Duelist having orbs to channel burn damage; although Fire should be reworked or unaffected by Focus. I sincerely want to like this mod, because I have a fondness for this game, but this mod doesn't even give any reminiscence of Yu-Gi-Oh a single bit... I was hoping actually it used the Friendly Minions mod framework so that you can actually Summon monsters that actually fight and actually had individual Damage and Block values. Honestly, with the endeavor of transliterating Yu-Gi-Oh mechanics into StS it would be better to focus only on iconic cards and not stuff like Red-Headed Oni (or was it Yellow-Headed Oni); especially because either of them do not do what they do in the game anyways. Okay I could go on for actually much longer but I do not think it would be productive. There is definitely potential with this mod if it focusing on the mechanics that matter and are truly iconic, instead of using mid-era cards that most anyone hasn't ever head of. Slim down the mechanics to a tenth and you still have plenty of nuances and strategies to work from. I actually like the Tribute mechanic and it could be reworked to be more meaningful and feel more imposing. PS: I see why you are pretty good at card games if you played Yu-Gi-Oh seriously, and that era there was plenty of high caliber players since the game was more skill focused than it is nowadays; at least with the current meta decks and trends.

[@SidekuestChannel]

i think i smoked too much is all i can say about this mod

[@Corbin13ftw]

When that Solder text came up i was sure this mod is satire hahahah

[@tricky8068]

i really think it has to be and if it's not, i'd advise the modder to act like it is

[@Guacamole777]

As a person who also played competitive Yu-Gi-Oh back in the day, your reactions were so on point. The cards don't make any sense to their actual Yu-Gi-Oh effects, and it just kinda hurts my brain lol. Like what's the point of skinning them as Yu-Gi-Oh cards if they don't have anything to do with the source material?

[@batterytoast896]

I would love for you to cover more wacky mods like this. I highly recommend the Lobotomy Mod

[@kalikars81]

I’d say this does a pretty decent job of getting the “wow what the hell is this book on the card’s mechanic text” feel of Yu-Gi-Oh across.

[@92eddiekrueger]

The Kaiba surprise attack from the previous video gave me high hopes for this mod, but so far so ugh. I used to play competitive yugioh as well. 2013 Nats was Dragon Ruler format, right? If so, I was also at that nationals haha Edit:Reload, already a meh card, gets turned into a strange Reno Jackson from Hearthstone?!??!??!!!?

[@tricky8068]

yes i played Infernity at that nationals and went 3-3 lost to 2 dragon ruler & mermail and beat 1 spellbook 1 druler & 1 evilswarm iirc

[@Laugical]

Hi Tricky, loving these new modded character runs! I actually finished making a modded character if you’d like to check him out- he’s called The Vacant. He mills cards, debuffs everyone including himself, gets stronger the lower on life he is, and mines gemstones! Looking forward to more modded runs :D

[@Isithnica]

Hi Laugic, I'm hijacking your comment to also suggest my mod, the Astrologer.

[@tricky8068]

@laugic Brave of you to ask such a thing on this video. But, dope mod. Consider it done.

[@rennysama9752]

I had to disable this mod because it was too confusing and complex for me

[@warriormouse3005]

For a mod that uses orbs so much, it really lacks focus. Needs a serious edit.

[@AWPNubDiesel]

Mud, ok kinda loud, but lava is trying to blow out your eardrums. Question card not working without busted crown just needs to get fixed. Broken cards like Sangan, that for some reason tutors spells instead of monsters (allegedly), needs to get fixed. I think mud orbs are dope, I often take a just in case copy of fumes to solve annoying fights like spikers. I think stapling un-upgraded fumes and caltrops together doesn't make sense, and seems too strong. You take one card and it gives two damage engines. Imo, mud should be 1 poison base, evoke to give 2 noxious fumes. Even then it might be insane. I had a run recently that nightmare fumes/apparitions, and that can literally be all your deck does to win every fight in the game. I'm also in the same boat as "how do you fuck up pot of duality", but also with the gate guardian pieces. Just make them give you a retained 0 cost buffer card that exhausts upon playing one of them. That pretty closely mirrors what they do I think. I dunno, weird mod, has some ideas I actually think are cool, but make no sense in the context of Yugioh. Like fire orbs are also really cool, but if you can make them and gain focus on the same card it just becomes better thousand cuts, in the case of this run its 5 thousand cuts for 2 energy lol. This is both thematically and balance wise a complete mess.

[@DrunkTigerGrill]

Ah if only the cards were somewhat close to the actual game

when will we get a tricky twitter account

[@fivetwoeighty7012]

I never played yu-gi-oh really, aside from getting stomped by older kids at my local game store and comparing cool cards with my friends, but this seems really try hard, and complicated for a STS mod. Edit: case in point -- the Egyptian Village event, there were 5 choices, and 4 were locked, each due to different reasons, like come on dude, simplify the experience a little Edit 2: too many status effects lmfao

[@Sir-Taco]

I think that’s the point of the mod

[@fivetwoeighty7012]

@@Sir-Taco fair enough. Just antithetical to the idea of STS.

[@redxrider44]

I've played this mod for a decent amount of hours, and I enjoy it a lot! However, I don't think it is enjoyable because it is the most clean, tactical mod (which it is not by far). I like the duelist in a way that I like to play Dynasty Warriors compared to something like Civilization. Sure, there are a lot of theoretical strategies that can make this a thought oriented mod, but it seems more fun to just throw out all your insane and powerful combos at the game! Maybe they need to rework the challenge system to effect cards or insane combos to make it balanced, but I don't know.

This is too much
