BATTLIN' BOXER - Ten Minute Testing

[@SknowingWolf]

"can't conduct your battle phase this turn." Wait you're telling me somebody decided to not let the BATTLIN boxers BATTLE? that's one sarcastic ass Konami employee.

[@Honest_Mids_Masher]

For the rest of the turn meaning you can summon sparrer after you conduct the battle phase. Why did they make such a weird card? Who knows.

[@Ragnarok540]

Back then Konami was trying to balance the archetype. There a fine line between balancing and making it unplayable, but from what I have heard this deck was able to sometimes win against dragon rulers.

[@AcroxShadow]

It's for sparring, not the real fight.

[@TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

For the record, the archetype is burning knuckle in the Japanese OCG.

[@SknowingWolf]

@@TheGuyWhoIsSitting then we need a "burning phase" for me to adjust my low hanging joke lol

It’s crazy how the stars align to make flamvell counter playable in this deck

[@monkeykingw]

Only kind of, since with the start of Rekindling, Fire as an attribute has this weird secondary group focused on 200 defense monsters

[@aHumanBeing97]

It’s strange I don’t ever see anyone running Counter Counter despite still seeing various solemn cards in most other decks.

[@RohanSingh-cf9tk]

I don't know if it would be smart, but has anyone tries to use rekindling in the deck to spam out 4s to make more rank 4s. Also could you use UFD instead of other copies of some cards in the extra

[@aHumanBeing97]

@@RohanSingh-cf9tk sadly in a pure BB deck only the 1 monster has 200 def. So it’s not worth doing unless specifically running 200 def fire monster garnets in the deck. Or you have some specific build in mind.

Mandatory Bussy Tightening

[@caswellweird]

The fact that they made BB support that coincided with the release of the Duel Links character and didnt put them IN DL to make the deck actually worth investing in. They even made a pick up box like “wow guys you can give up your battle phase to end on a single xyz”

[@body_guard1894]

First, I hope Mr. BT has a recovery that is as swift and pain-free as possible. I also wanted to take a moment to thank this channel for an element in content that isn't like a big one everyone does. As someone who has attention deficit, and can find it difficult to lock into videos of any length, the "set pieces" of MBT videos are a godsend to keep me tied in. (For examples from this video, the classic TMT intro, the "until now" whenever we talk about legacy support, "BUT 👏 FIRST 👏", the standard dialogue at the start of the actual games, etc). Bits like this not only make it easy for repeat viewers to be involved with the video, but it feels rewarding as a long time viewer when these crop up. I am o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶s̶l̶i̶g̶h̶t̶l̶y̶ not embarrassed to disclose that there are multiple shows on this channel where I say or do these bits along with the video every single time. This is really common in other media (it's the theme song, the "Previously on Yugioh", the protag's catchphrases, the "HOWEVER") but I think it's not as common in the yugitubing sphere outside of specifically intros, and I think it's a really cool thing this channel does. Thanks!

I got into Yugioh around 2013, and played with one of the modified starter decks at the time that was mainly utopia cards and zexal weapons, with some battling boxer support to bring out the XYZs. It was so much fun, even if it wasn't at all good. I'm really happy to see boxers featured today, and catch up with where they are now!

[@xatuyou8045]

The branded player completely punted by not going for the safe play. If they normal summon albaz and then book it when you try to impermanence, they probably just win because I don’t think your deck can beat mirrorjade

"Infernoble Knight Ricciardetto" sits pretty well in this deck. You can use both of its effects whether or not you lock yourself into Special Summoning "Battlin' Boxer" monsters. If you don't lock yourself and want to play an extra brick or two, you can also do the new Infernoble Knight combo and summon "Emperor Charles the Great".

[@SquibbyJ]

Actually big comment: Blaster Dragon Ruler is at 1. Any fire deck with a card like Switchhitter benefits from it. Inconsistent but its 1 of removal or a link extender or a grind tool. Is it good? Kinda.

Far as I know there are no cards that allow you to conduct a second battle phase so if Big dad Konami ever blesses this deck with more support they’d better make a spell that includes battle phase 2. Literally will be in flavor and make the deck’s theme more impactful

sparrer isn't really a problem in a world where you need to play stuff like dark ruler and evenly to make it to turn 3, this deck is like if war rock was a viable rogue strategy

[@wesgannon4621]

While going pure I don't think is that powerful, splashing Infernoble can really make cards like Uppercutter and Sparrer pop, especially the latter who can be searched with Uppercutter, made into Dempsey, detatched for Dempsey's effect to prevent targetting, and added added back with a Renaud searched off Dempsey. Makes Uppercutter into a 1 card full Charlemagne line

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

Counter Traps are supposed to be useful in a flurry of disruption by being harder to interact with than other things. The problem is SS2 backrow removal is too commonplace for that nowadays. The big issue with Red Reboot though is that it wad tied to Life Points instead of a specific monster class, that sort of thing is why Solemns kept flip-flopping on the banlist for a while. Strike + Board Wipe still clears against monster spam if they have no good ways to interact with backrow, but almost everything has something these days.
