Monarch Burning Abyss (June 2016) | The History of Yu-Gi-Oh!

[@jacobrcorreia]

MBT continues to prove that reading cards is optional: Chimeratech can't be summoned under Return of the Monarchs.

[@cephery8482]

not to mention cimo forgetting fire king iland has an effect when sent from field to gy that does trigger when you active another field spell

BA Monarch is one of those decks you see and think "what on earth" then it spins your board, floats, spins your hand, pops your scales, adds like 5 cards and its impossible to OTK and it breaks boards super well. That being said, Joseph illustrated some of the reasons it wasn't the definitive best deck by a lot at the end of a format that wasn't completely solved but idc summon erebus float into purple dante is funny

[@dadocta5168]

To make it even worse, Dzeef also went on hiatus last week. Luckily MBT, Farfa and Coder saved me.

[@williamwheeler3899]

Return of the monarchs extra deck locks you while face up. This is why the common play of the deck was to domain reveal aether summon Kuraz off of aether, and then do return cl2 kuraz cl1 to pop domain and return to draw 2 and search dark armed dragon since it had monarch stats for some reason. After that, you could overlay the Kuraz and aether into Beatrice since they were both 6.

26:07 not the first time Chimeratech has been summoned in the series. Cimo did it in the wind-up hand loop episode

[@averageguy7620]

Can you tell me which episode it was?

[@sallas09]

That moment was even featured in Cimo's End Of 2022 Highlights compilation xp

[@ibrahimjuwara9441]

It was also an illegal summon iirc

1:10 Deck List / Breakdown 13:12 Duels

[@Carlet_S]

the most legal summon of chimeratech fortress dragon you'll ever see

[@The2bGaming]

30:35 Barbar actually cannot activate here. After the hand size limit, no player can manually start a chain, including Barbar's optional effect. Only manditory effects can go off, after which players can chain cards. This actually comes up sometimes in Dragon Ruler format, where discarding a card for hand size limit (White Stone is the funniest) can allow you to chain super rejuv, and counts all of the dragon s you were forced to discard for hand size limit. Without the mandatory effect, this wouldn't be possible.

[@verbalengine95]

Can't wait to see Kozmo Demise I remember having incredibly grindy matches against it playing Dinomist

[@Hclody95]

they would feature it only if they stay in this format, otherwise they just skipped it sadly

[@thenightstalker6165]

My version of that deck is the best If you want the list for it

[@DeAtHmkw]

Let's be honest though.. The pilot player won't display it right here. Its not easy after all

[@raizen4597]

The game 3 was so intense, very fun to watch.

[@ZXMaster00]

26:08 Nice but forgot Return of the Monarch was face-up lol...

[@munchrai6396]

Both these decks are super cool. Mixing 2 very dissimilar archetypes together and having them shore up each other's weaknesses is some truly peak deckbuilding. Though I do now really wanna see a Fire King, Kozmo deck in History of Jank later down the line. Really sucks that an archetype as cool as Kozmo just drops off the map after this with 0 new support even to this day

[@dolphinsniper]

Agreed, considering just how much bloody support Noble Knights has (even if its via Infernoble Knights), its appaling that Kozomo hasn't recieved a single new card despite how insanely popular it was.

[@scythermantis]

imagine Kozmo/Fire King with ccarayhua!

[@TheTrueFool]

That game three was insane! I love when games go long (without both players bricking). Doesn't seem to happen a lot these days.

[@Hclody95]

dont forget that fire king island has another eff that can special summon a fire king monster from hand if you control no monsters... it comes up very often when you draw the garunix to help with rank 3 plays

[@masterblitz195]

It is actually not relevant unless you have high avatar garunix, as the effect is "special summon one lvl 8 winged beast monster"

[@Hclody95]

@@masterblitz195 sorry but i dont see the lv8 part in the fire king island text

[@Hclody95]

@@masterblitz195 funnily enough if he used that eff in turn 1 game 1, he could tribute for sliprider, eff sliprider target island, trigger island destroy sliprider, eff sliprider banish summon, kozmotown, add... basically he had full combo. edit: actually even better, since he had both fields in hand he could literally just tribute for landwalker, then trigger island by just activating or setting kozmotown and summon shuttle (or sliprider depending the route you are going for) from deck and get full combo from that

[@masterblitz195]

@@Hclody95 ah my bad, apparently I can't read the cards of my own de k xD

[@arielgomes7989]

IIRC the delta shuttle was required for the turn 1 combo. The fire king island enables a combo that i think ended on infinity, dark lady, leviair, and maybe something else? This deck was very short lived, so I dont remember exactly how the combo goes, but that was the main draw of this deck, not just fire king field for 1 extra summon. Ultimately, people figured running several bad cards, for a situational going first combo wasnt the best idea

[@LightFykki]

That game 3 was so entertaining, really glad that you decided to do it

When Cimo activates Kozmotown over Fire King Island he is supposed to destroy all monsters he controls.

[@Adam-wt5id]

2016 and a bunch of the formats right before MR4 were the best yugioh ive ever played. BA, Dark Law, Monarchs, Blue eyes was so much fun. The mirror force retrains and even a simple mirror force going to battle phase was nuts. Decks were becoming decently fast paced but duels weren’t over after 1-2 turns like now (unless against monarch floodgates). It was just really good yugioh. DDD went ultra modern mega negate combo for like 2 weeks then died to MR4. Konami held themselves back, but blood was in the water, they had tasted the ultra mega negate combo deck, and they needed to bring the whole game up to speed to make it happen

[@shawnli4746]

Pantheism of the Burning Abyss is a card I'd like to see for real ngl

[@SSJGazhan99]

@21:10 mbt activates the monarchs stormforth in cimo’s end phase to tribute summon ehther, I can’t seem to find any reason he can do that? Or have I been “judged” out of winning games in the past xD

I’m looking forward to the AFD decks. It’s time to showcase how and why AFD was banned for the uninitiated.

[@dihydrogenmonoxide4134]

Oh, you're into Shining Victories now? I thought you'd be starting that format with Blue-Eyes.

[@williamcronshaw5262]

Blue-Eyes still lacks 2 critical pieces; Alternative which was released in the 2016 movie pack. And Return of the Dragon Lords which was released in the Felgrand Structure deck. Both were released about 2 months after Shining Victories. Even with the support in Shining Victories the deck still sucked without those two cards.

[@braedenkoechle3649]

I remember playing against BA/Monarch one time…I activated necrovalley and he said let’s got to game 2. Can you guess what I opened game 3? ;)

[@cketcham1217]

You don’t get the destroyer effect at 18:45. When the new chain starts, call and destroyer are already off the field and it doesn’t get the chance to trigger

[@Azkadaz]

You're thinking of missing activation trigger. While you'd be right if Call actually would be destroyed, Calcab says "You can target 1 Set Spell/Trap Card on the field; return that target to the hand." That means the target must continue being a Set card in order to be returned to hand. Since Cimo chained the Call, it's not destroyed and Destroyer can resolve just fine.

[@NewtBannner]

MBT ruined Erebus for me, all I can think is Erebussy

[@kellenliame2674]

Hey guys? Is Kozmo Forerunner a mandatory effect, or voluntary? Just trying to see if they missed a trigger that would realistically change the game 1. (If it’s mandatory, then Cimo would have had an extra turn to try and recover. His hand was pretty decent, there was probably a path to at least parity. Can’t say what the draw would have been though.

I remember playing Fire King Kozmo for a bit during this format and it was just as disappointing for me as it was for Alex in this episode

[@SmugsfromSplit]

You’ll notice that prog episodes tend to be upwards of 20 minutes shorter than history episodes This is due to a phenomenon where MBT doesn’t suck at the game

[@Click3tyClick]

very arguable

[@doubl2480]

When Joseph announced Cimo was on Demise Kozmo in his deck profile, I was expecting Cimo to actually be on Card of Demise. Instead he was on... the weird version with Fire King Island? This deck honestly looks pretty bad...
