I'm going to be honest. This year was great on paper but every format had glaring flaws that stopped them from being enjoyable. Mine being an oppressive force for like nine months and Rivalry being that way for all of nats season blew. Floo being there the whole year also meant you had that 30% chance of having a bad time every round at locals. The only format I can say I loved wholeheartedly was probably DABL but that only lasted one event before MAMA.

[@KuroJet]

Thinking about it, yeah, that's very true. I remember hating before Verte got hit, because literally every deck ran it. It got worse with Adventure Package and I remember everyone talking about how every deck had the same like 15 cards in it and it was IMPOSSIBLE to tell what the deck was with a skeleton decklist. It was obnoxious as hell. This happened like once every format: there was one strategy/deck that basically usurped the format and made you rather step on legos than play it.

[@turtle-bot3049]

Pretty much this. That 2 week format post DABL pre mama was pretty fun, spright (which had a ton of variants) and tear both felt fairly even and many older decks could still keep up.

[@NSGSpartan]

My favorite was in January. When most decks were running dpe but still there was a lot of variety. Almost a triangle format

[@geek593]

@@NSGSpartan DPE gatekeeping continuous floodgates out of the meta was so cool. Once he got bopped there was nothing stopping them from coming back.

[@alexanderbatterbee8369]

the format with depsia was the hottest because the adventure decks were still popular and floo was jus kinda chillin

[@spookster2265]

Deserves way more views. This is one of my favorite types of content. Especially for a game as volatile and exciting as Yugioh with all the changes that happen, its INCREDIBLY interesting to take a look at all that actually happened in the year. Just wanted to let you know this is much appreciated, wish it got more views.

[@holydiver4988]

its really cool to see yugitubers start doing year reviews on the meta and sets of the year hope it becomes a thing from this point forward

[@MSTTV]

Umm I've been doing this year after year... First 2 episode were 2002 - 2008 then 2008 to 2016 and since then 1 episode a year

[@holydiver4988]

@@MSTTV oh that's cool

[@MSTTV]

@@holydiver4988 thanks! I'll continue this ongoing series

[@dpacula63]

This year was super crazy for Yugioh. Definitely good for the game as a whole, but not really good if you were a budget player.

[@adamcogan211]

Awesome breakdown of 2022! Thanks for the vid! ❤

[@noniknockdown]

The Amount of effort this took is amazing! Really enjoyed this video thanks again

[@MadaraUchiha-wf4iv]

Always love these, makes my day. appreciate you Tom, I know this takes a lot of planning and time.

[@ShahedTCG]

congrats on the skillshare sponsor, idk if its common with other yugitubers but its a big step to get a mainstream sponsor, i wanna see squarespace and then hopefully yugioh gets more awareness! loved the timeline pov

[@MSTTV]

Hopefully, skillshare's class on editing actually was applied in this video I probably wouldnt have released it until like.. Dec 15th

[@ShahedTCG]

@@MSTTV oh absolutely!

[@meowmastr123]

Bird up was so fun to play in January.

[@Dreadlash]

Mentionning Marincess and Dark world was great though I think Mathmech in POTE format was worth mentionning aswell

[@MSTTV]

Yes it would've been nice

[@Boristien405]

I can't believe he mentioned Virtual World for February (maybe not even top 10 at the time) but left out Mathmech when it was like the 3rd best Deck at a point. VW was more popular even if it wasn't that successful so at least it shows how splashable the packages were.

[@geek593]

@@Boristien405 The window of Adventurer VW/PUNK VW's test popularity happened right before big events came back so I can see why it would be difficult to fill that month in with perfect accuracy. Mathmech unfortunately lasted about as long as Branded Tri-Brigade and got about as many meaningful tops.

[@Boristien405]

@@geek593 Naaah mathmech got more tops and lasted longer than Branded Brigade lol.

[@GizmekGalaxy]

Can't remember if this is the first time you do a video like this or not, but considering it's archiving competitive history, I love the idea!

[@geek593]

It's their longest running series and an excellent one at that.

[@GizmekGalaxy]

@@geek593 I see I see, thanks!

[@dpacula63]

You didn’t give mathmech some love! I think before DABL the deck did have some major tops. I think it had 2 of the top 4 at a YCS

[@outdoorfr3ak]

Metaverse at 3 makes invoked pop off so much harder

[@ninezerotwo1778]

How?..

[@roltrat522]

Would love to see eu events included

[@MSTTV]

Next year maybe it's hard to keep track with limited time

[@hootclesia]

@@MSTTV not much of a 2022 breakdown when you ignore the biggest ycs’ of the year.

[@malevolenceygo249]

Tom, I've edited just about a dozen films on premiere. A quick question I'd like to ask is: what annoys you the most about adobe premiere? For me personally, the rendering times get on my nerves. (I edit on a laptop, which y'all can and probably will castigate me for xD) I thought 2022 was pretty decent for yugioh, I liked the branded decks a ton; adventure solved a lot of problems I faced as a deck builder, and I'm kind of a sucker for drytron. If you had to score the year out of 10, what would you score it and why?

[@ctusiard9755]

Siuuuuu, my watery girls made it in July. Even when POTE came out it was still able to give a fight, but DABL and MAMA just killed any chance of meta play.

[@Thenelsonking2010]

Is that a unsleaved unicorn in the background 😂

[@MSTTV]

Unicorn?

[@Thenelsonking2010]

@@MSTTV kastira unicorn lol

[@gri4108]

mystic mine @ 1 !

[@vixozas]

Yes, you can do better next time - the visuals is nice, but the review is weak - you did not mention how well the elijah turned out with marinecess, e.g. Top4. You didn't know exactly (but you were right) about the ycs champion Hansel and his swordsoul deck. You also didn't mention EU YCS. So I think this video was made as quickly as possible without a lot of facts.

[@Gastoe]

mathmech ?

[@MSTTV]

yes

[@has199]

So let me get this straight? You missed every European event despite event data being readily available and despite the events being some of the biggest yugioh events we've had to date but you managed to cover LATAM events where the data is obscurely available? Sounds like lazy content to me. Like would it have killed you to have a graphic saying Joshua Schmidt won YCS Utrecht with Runick Spright (a deck you completely glossed over) or Marcus Patel winning with Rikka (another deck glossed over)

[@bigdog243]

you go make it then, it’s easy to criticize other people’s videos when you don’t have to do any of the work lmao

[@has199]

@@bigdog243 This philosophy is stupid on a big big level. Are movies beyond criticism from its viewers because they did not work on production? Of course not. Just because I dont make videos doesnt mean the criticisms arent valid. Are you living in a totalitarian state where speaking up is so bad? This video could have been so much more representative of what actually happened throughout year, instead it feels like a rushed job.

[@machina5]

This is truly a travesty of all time

[@MSTTV]

Yes it would have killed me. Please copy and paste, all all of EU's data in 1 comment and their winning decks, month. Source: yugiohblog.konami.com/ EU's data was not there. I respect Joshua Schmidt, Herman Hanssen and Raphael Neven are 3 of my favorite EU players.
