Double or Nothing! I have played it in my PK Kali Yuga deck, and there are two super scuffed ways to get it back in the deck. Originally it required you to go really far out of your way to put it back using Saryuja's link 4 effect. The second, more recent, way is to use Cherubini and one other monster to make Spright Spring to send plague spreader to put it back on top of your deck. Also, funny side note, the sprind thing is a funny tech option in regular PK too. If you have enough room in the extra deck, you can add Gigantic Spright so that when you're going 2nd you can make it, pop 1 with rusty because a dark Xyz was summoned to where it pointed, then attack with it, use it to make Downard, then make Zeus. You may ask why you'd do this, and the answer is that: for the most part you wouldn't, the upsides are cool, but the downsides are also pretty big. To be a bit more specific: Pros: 1. Gigantic is a 3200 beater, so it can get over some big monsters 2. It gives you something to do with Cherubini, where it can sometimes be left on the field as a 500 attack liability Cons: 1. Plague Spreader becomes another garnet in a deck pretty full of garnets. Frankly, the number of garnets in the first place is so bad that it's actually optimal to play PK with 45 cards instead of just 40 2. Adding Sprind and Gigantic into your extra deck takes up 2 slots in an already tight extra deck. One last thing, don't play Raider's Knight or Arc Rebellion in PK. They fucking suck ass. If you need to beat over something then just pay Accesscode or Borrelsword, or honestly even just use Underworld goddess to link it off.

[@AlexanderEVtrainer]

Infernoid Sjette is easily one of the worst Infernoid monsters in the lineup, but when Void Feast came out we all had to start running him, because we needed a level 6 to summon double Decatron off Feast. It sucked knowing that slot could have been another Seitsemas or Deviaty, but that turn 1 double negate helped ease our pain.

Japan is currently clamoring over Dokuroyaiba, an old Vanilla from Pharaoh's Servant, all because of the new Primoredial Dragon archetype coming out in Rage of the Abyss. The Dragon itself looks at Vanillas in the Graveyard to negate things with the same Type and/or Attribute. Japan's current meta is Fire Kings, Snake-Eyes, Tenpai, Yubel, and Fiendsmith. Being able to hit all of those with a single card requires a FIRE Fiend Vanilla, which Dokuroyaiba is literally the only one in existence.

[@AceTrainerLupi]

To be honest, One for One is a very good example for anything these days. It forces you to go -1 for a 5-7th chance to draw your engine, but we will play it despite the fact that one of the 12 handtraps our opponent plays might negate the summoned monster's effect anyway.

[@autobotstarscream765]

"Discard 1; force your opponent to burn a precious hand trap that either is a HOPT, basically freezing them while you combo off, or lets you keep the body on the field" is pretty good when simplifying the game state with a grindy Deck, and the biggest grinders right now happen to be based around Level 1s.

Amblowhale is so much more versatile. After Promethean Princess pops it to SS herself, it can summon pretty much anything you climbed through.

That intro is going to give someone a stroke

[@mr.thekid3827]

Imma be honest, I can't wait for Fiendsmith, not because I'm gonna play them as intended, but because they work far too well with one of my favorite decks of all time, Magical Musketeer, who are all light fiends, and already run Link Into The Vrains, which makes Requiem Unrespondable if you quick effect it immediately. Still not the next Zoo, and it's still worse than Runick, but I refuse to play Runick, and I enjoy playing Magical Musketeer (I remember when they were first translated and called 'Magibullet', which sounded so much cooler, but bullets and guns aren't allowed in english unless they're energy/magic blasters) So now I've got Fiendsmith put in with my Magical Musketeers that also run a copy of Eldlich. This is gonna be a fun rogue deck XD

[@autobotstarscream765]

Magical Musket sounds a lot more like what the card designers intended than White Girl Jumpsmith In Everything. 😂

[@yuzay16]

Is that Neo Space Connector at 6:18 next to Isolde? I couldnt find it on the VODs but it's hilarious how i was looking for another half decent Light Hero

[@wanderingrogue3039]

Mathmech Multiplication. There's no worse feeling than drawing this guy in your opening hand and knowing your easiest OTK is just *gone*.

[@phorchybug3286]

4:01 Dude! Thunder boy! I remember pulling that guy!

[@258thHiGuy]

6:43 This card is not Flamvell Urziquias

[@mattbaltimore7195]

I think Coltwing fits on this topic when HalqDon was a thing........

[@MrEntinen]

Needs more Pepe players running X-saber Palomuro because it's a lv1 earth tuner for Naturia beast you can search with King of the Feral Imps...

[@edwardlynch6550]

Hold on. Kots was absolutely essential. You HAD to. And it was good.

[@TylerMcVeigh1]

I've been playing a lot of Tear Horis on Master Duel and you are playing like, 5 or 6 cards you never want to see in your hand. Hapi and Trivikarma are glued to my hand.

Ultimate Slayer in Dogmatika is literally a +2

[@__-be1gk]

I cant believe a prompt this good only got 8 minutes worth

[@24kam48]

I dont even know what the reference was for the intro this time...Porygon??? The Siezure Procedure??????

[@SilverEternal22]

Smiling Friends

[@HoneycombProductions]

3:37 i used to play Chaos Core until i realized that summoning beast can be gotton off of one-for-one so i switched to that. Fiend link is already playing like 8 garnets anyways so what's one more

[@mordielleygo]

I can't believe I accidentally caused a buyout of melomelody because of a silly line I made up at locals earlier that night

[@ashtonwestfall4777]

The fourth toon card when playing a toon table of contents engine

[@GeneralNickles]

5th. The fourth one is bookmark these days, which just searches another toon card.

[@zeloz6129]

Bit of a different spin but if you want really good end boards and quick OTK lines in Synchron you play arive in light with converging wills and stardust wyrm. Wyrm can occasionally give you access to speeder but converging wills just sits in your hand until you get arrive or bin it for jet. But in exchange you get shooting majestic which can OTK, has a permanent monster negate and a non-opt omni that banishes. An incredible pay off for one dead card and two mid ones

[@MrMadOfficial]

I personally would like to shoutout both Versago the Destroyer and The Light - Hex Sealed Fusion, both of which are still seeing play in Chimera decks (even if very little thanks to Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon).

[@theskullboy8700]

“I second this” -branded player probably

[@autobotstarscream765]

Earthbound Chimera can search and recycle Versago iirc, and Chimera can turbo out Diabellze so it's no joke.

[@MrMadOfficial]

@@autobotstarscream765 Oh, it can?! I didn’t know Earthbound and Chimera were used in the same deck. Neat.

[@asmcint]

Scrap Golem was also necessary for a funny build Hardleg showed off a long time ago that made VFD when it was still legal.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

0:07 what's this a reference to?

[@unattractiveguy1770]

Smiling friends intro

[@Thekoodie]

As a Scrap player, calling Golem bad is a terrible insult (like yeah you don't want to draw him, but I wouldn't call a soft OPT revive from grave bad)

[@ДаниилТолмачёв-ж2ы]

Agree. Also i cant understand why moon mirror shield are here. *full of love Scrap Dragon's roar*

[@Billy_Wyatt]

Very fun thread and the takes were right on point. 👍🏼

[@0live_highscore]

7:39 Excuse me, I'm crying, my pet deck is evil twin and this is dog even there (still love it tho, pitch from deck as cost for trouble sunny is worth it, and the one time where I needed exactly this card to win was too hype)

[@theskullboy8700]

I remember a time when branded played the light hex seal for freaking dragoon of all things. So glad we moved passed that shit

[@Quasartist]

My niche pick would be Harpie's Pet Dragon. Sorry for the small essay but man I've been going up to bad for Harpies for a decade now so I just gotta get this out of me lol Way back in the day after Harpies got their first real wave of support around the Tachyon Galaxy booster release, you were forced to play Pet Dragon because it's the only card Channeler could summon to give you access to rank 7 monsters, and oftentimes you would need to play at least 2, maybe even 3 if you had a heavy rank 7 build. With Channeler being literally the ONLY way to interact with Pet Dragon without tribute summoning, which Harpies do not want to do (or I guess reanimating but your Reborn was better used on anything other than Pet Dragon), drawing even 1 could spell the end of the game because your deck wouldn't have the muscle to actually do anything with the advantage you muster up. You could pivot into a rank 4 strategy but the rank 7 pool was so strong for the time that it would be foolish to not play any, and so you would be playing on the backfoot for the remainder of the game, if not outright losing just due to no way to really generate momentum outside of maybe Hysteric Party but that would just get MST'd before you could even do anything. It's almost paradoxical because the less Pet Dragons you play, the worse the deck gets technically due to rank 7's being so good that you didn't want to skip them, but also playing more Pet Dragons also INCREASES your odds of drawing them, therefore ALSO MAKING THE DECK WORSE LMAO running 2 is supposedly the sweet spot but it was still just an absolute traffic jam of a deck. Harpie's Pet Dragon Fearsome Fire Blast should have been made 12 years ago lol

[@rixia_ygo]

I cannot believe you agreed with the post that has SUNSEED LOCI

[@elianpacheco7831]

LET ME USE INCREASE IN HAND FOR FARIS PLEASE I'M BEGGING

[@EliteElk221]
