Kindof. Based on public domain is better to say. Like how the wizard of oz book is public domain, but depicting the wicked witch with green skin is copyrighted by Warner Bros, since that’s an invention by them (though you can have a generic witch with green skin). So for Cinderella, the exact blue dress and the whole mouse subplot could be wholly owned by Disney. Then the songs are definitely Disney’s. But the general story (the wicked godmother and step-sisters, servant girl becoming Princess, pumpkin carriage and fairy godmother, the prince, and the glass slipper) is public domain.

Yeah as much as I enjoy these videos sometimes I feel like he could take an extra moment to point out these small but crucial differences to save on confusion, especially in this case since the only Pendulum monsters shown so far were Synchro so it would be expected for someone to assume they all are at that point

[@Oof316]

In Duel Links, there was a funny combo with Stromberg and D/D/Ds involving a skill that skipped your standby phase if you had a contract card on your field. It had no limit so you could just skip your standby phase forever, negating Stromberg’s banishing requirement. It was very funny lol

[@Pyroniusburn]

Man, I know full well how Pendulums work (Endymion and Vaylantz are some of my favourite decks), and I could still feel my brain frying listening to the explanation lol. It's such information overload, there's literally no way to really make it concise to someone, certainly not without more experience in Yugioh than Nikachu has.

[@Zetact_]

Even in the anime there was so much bloat to the mechanic that the actual plot had them say, "I have no clue how this works" except through trial and error. Like it was justified by the plot of them being brand new cards with no known rules but it's telling that they used that as a plot point just because explaining every part of the mechanic at a single time would kill the pacing. They didn't even figure out, "They go from the field to the Extra Deck, face-up" until, no joke, episode 8.

[@TheOneJameYT]

If I were to explain how pendulums work to a magic player, I would refer to the Nyxian gods, where they are not always creatures. It wouldn't be the best way to go about it, but it would help imagine its presence on the field. And then the face-up extra deck part is like the command zone

[@najawin8348]

[@fabrizioorpianesi6670]

Even as a pendulum lover, trying to explain pendulum monsters to a mew player is such a pain. Makes me question why and how I still play pendulums and understand them Also watch him freak out at Ultimaya or the Ursarctic synchros

[@MrFelblood]

12:50 Yeah, Monsters that have effects have to be specifically noted as Effect cards, even though all Monster cards with effects are Effect cards. They do make Normal Monsters, but other than countering a few decks that specifically screw over Effect Monster decks, they don't have much use. It's kinda like how only certain lands that can produce green mana are Forests when you search your deck for a Forest. 15:15 The Extra Deck, AKA the reason every YGO player is effectively running Karn the Great Creator. You can also think of it like a Command Zone, but with 15 guys in it. 17:30 You could also think of this card as being similar to the Deepest Gods cycle from Caves of Ixilan, where killing him just causes him to re-enter as a different card type, rather than go to the graveyard. Except his second form is more like an extremely fiddly enchantment than a land. 34:44 The very first Pendulum set had monsters with different red and blue values. It quickly became clear that this was a bad idea, and ever since monsters have made it clear whether they belong in the blue or the red zone.

[@Pyroniusburn]

Please name one card which has different pendulum scales.

[@EnbyOccultist]

@@Pyroniusburn There's none in the TCG at the very least, can't say as confidently that OCG didn't get something crazy at some point but I seriously doubt it

[@ViRoV00]

For some reason, I wish there is a pendulum deck with cards that have different scales depending on if they are in the red or blue zone. So then the gimmick is that different monster effects happen depending on the scale number of the cards in the pendulum zone and 2 cards in the deck are 1 and 10 in either side of the scale that swaps position with the other card in scale. Like If the red zone is scale 1-5, then... If the red zone is scale 6-10, then... If the blue zone is scale 1-5, then... If the blue zone is scale 6-10, then... And Once per turn, you can destroy another card in your pendulum zone. If you do, place this card in the zone that card was on, then place the card destroyed into the zone this card was on.

All the Suship cards are pun machines. The field spell makes your opponent pay LP for 'eating' the Xyz monsters that you prepared on your board, where the defence of the Xyz monster is the price.

[@NoBudgetDuelist]

I appreciate that we went from Field Spell to 4 pendulums back to back. Glad you really eased him in on this one. Tbh, idk how anyone is supposed to "succinctly" explain most of Yugioh's mechanics individually, let alone multiple Extra Deck-related mechanics at once. Glad that the analysis didn't seem too terribly hampered by this. Nirvana High Paladin is the final piece of a full-turn combo that ends in a Gigantosaurus, when your opponent will turn around with Doom Blade + Emrakul. If it was a "1 Tuner + 1 non-Tuner" kind of Synchro, probably extremely playable. Too many hoops for a payoff of extending a combo once you've already run out of gas.

I think Endymion is definitely tier -1 because sure it's not part of a great deck but he basically forms the deck by himself, he's an absolute house

[@admontblanc]

I found it extremely that Nika ended up discounting its pendulum effect, with its extreme potential for completely reversing card advantage, but to be fair you can't really grasp how easy it is to do it without the context of knowing how the average Endymion deck works. Likewise I think James underestimates a bit how Endymion decks tear apart established boards without having the space for handtraps. It is a good balancing aspect to the deck, a lot of players were having insane meltdowns over it until Konami hit a lot of its cards, if it also was able to just stuff itself with handtraps and such cards it would just piss off a ton of players.

I understand the point that it didn't change much in terms of the video's content, but it's a good distinction. Seeing as there are 3 versions of pend summon.

[@gibson17155]

As far as I know, Golden Castle was only ever competitively viable during and immediately after TOSS format in a rank 8 toolbox Gren Maju deck. I loved playing that deck. Golden Castle for Hexe Trude, summon Orochi, overlay into Sanaphond Sky Prison, set a floodgate. Your opponent can’t summon from the GY, you have the ever looming threat of an 8000+ gren maju coming out, and you can get out another Hexe Trude and/or Orochi next turn. It worked going first or second. Solid rogue deck against everything but Sky Striker…or a single Lancia.

[@alexsanchez8635]

Also, I think a good way to explain spell counters would just be that they're analogous to charge counter in magic: they have no inherent effect and are only really generated by cards that care about them. The only real differences are that most cards gain spell counters from spells being cast and that far more ygo cards can interact with spell counters on other cards than in magic.

[@acetraker1988]

47:30 This is actually one of the few meta pendulum decks and is actually good in specific formats. Easy to summon boss monster that negates cards in a deck that negates cards. MTGs its a bunch of creatures that use spell counters to COUNTER opponents cards. While tutoring Endymion cards from the hand / deck to the battlefield etc. In MTG -1 tier or tier 0 for other terms. In modern ygo pends decks take too much time to set up and suffer to disruption. However this deck is still a viable rogue deck.

In earlier folk tales, the shoes were more commonly depicted as silver or sometimes gold. The fact that the Yu-Gi-Oh! card uses the German word "Prinzessin" could point to the origins of the folk tale.

Im definitely an outsider to yugioh, but I remember watching some people try like eBay prebuilt Turin decks and one was the suship shark deck, and at the time it seemed really interesting and kind of explosive but importantly felt like it was almost a beginners tutorial in how the mechanics of a lot of card effect and summoning mechanics of modern yogi oh worked, like I get it’s too slow and probably not very good, but it feels like the deck anime protagonist b would use to really show the mechanics of modern yugioh at an understandable pace in the anime, the way I think it was jaidan? Made the hero cards understandable.

i think the best way to describe Dark Ruler No More in MTG terms would be Dress Down, but with Split Second instead of Flash

[@ingemarmartin246]

Why didn't he explain that facedown banished cards can't be used because they're face down?

[@TheOneJameYT]

Not sure if that was relevant at the time but I should’ve said something about that

[@michaeldavid1961]

It's funny watching this as a former yugioh player and still having no idea what's going on. I do think it makes more sense to evaluate how good the cards were when they were released

[@TheOnlyIchiban]

Well actually if they pendulum summon monsters from their hands, it can go anywhere on the field, it's just the monsters face up on the extra deck that has to go to the extra monster zone or monster zones link monster points to

[@neodaltiair8624]

This just proves Yu-Gi-Oh is such a convoluted game but I still love it lol

[@NormalNeu001]

Harmonizing Magician can never be used as material for Nirvana High Paladin because according to it the other material has to be a Magician Pendulum monster.

[@gyppygirl2021]

The way it actually works: if the pendulum monster you're using as material was pendulum summoned, even if it isn't normally a tuner, it's treated as a tuner. It's quite complicated!

[@gyppygirl2021]

I know this is probably a very "out there" comment, but I just want to say I love the flavor in Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon. The "destroy all monsters on the field" is similar to Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing, the "corrupted" Dark version of Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, and Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon is also Dark. Its pendulum effect is similar to Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon's effect to gain ATK when battling a monster. Funny enough, Supreme King Clear Wing has no level restriction on its effect, while Crystal Wing does, and Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon swaps the level restriction around.

If they ever make pendulum hand traps it's fucking JOEVER

[@TheOneJameYT]

Haha yea it would be

[@ziggyq6712]

I think the best way to explain the D/D/D car is there are some many cards with busted effects just locked behind a bad or irrelevant archetype. Look at Astrograph Sorcerer. Extremely strong card, bad deck, but 1 meta shift later it’s busted. 1 support link card, and it gets banned.

0:00 DURING BASKETBALL PEOPLE MONTH!?

[@admiralrhino4049]

One of my favorite pendulum monsters is Guiding Ariadne. People on Master Duel never realize that it's monster effect still goes off even if it was a spell card when destroyed 😂 And if they use a card to negate and destroy that effect it goes off again since it's not once per turn, and monsters sent to the extra deck CAN be destroyed again

[@hctaz]

Bless you for trying to explain Pendulum monsters WHILE ALSO SHOWING OFF A PENDULUM SYNCHRO MONSTER AS THE INTRODUCTION LOL

[@TheOneJameYT]

It was a tough ask 🤣

[@gyppygirl2021]

There's one way this could have been worse: Xyz Pendulum. Good luck trying to explain how pendulums interact with ranks.

[@ssjEasterBunny]

Hey man I love your channel and these videos. But just as friendly feedback, I do think you could explain game mechanics more concisely. Admittedly, pendulums are very convoluted, but even so, the explanation can be simplified for non-Yugioh players: _"A Synchro Monster starts the duel in your Extra Deck. You can summon it by sending monsters from your field to the GY whose levels add up to that Synchro Monster's level, but exactly one of them must be a Tuner."_ _"A Pendulum Monster can be treated like any other monster card, or you can instead treat it like a Continuous Spell by placing it in the leftmost or rightmost Spell/Trap Zone. While in that zone, its Pendulum Effect applies instead of its monster effect. If you have two Pendulum Monsters being treated as Spells, then once per turn, you can Special Summon any number of monsters whose levels are between those Pendulum Monsters' Pendulum Scales - from your hand, as well as other Pendulum Monsters that have previously left the field."_

[@TheOneJameYT]

Very true, thanks for the feedback!

[@melsorondo1132]

Yugi's breaker is the first spell counter monster

[@TheOneJameYT]

I loved Breaker

[@IVIaskerade]

So Nirvana High Paladin still gets the effect of returning a card if it treats a non-tuner pendulum monster as a tuner, right?

[@TheOneJameYT]

I believe so

[@jvdach4652]

Do show them some Exosister and Mikanko next time. Need some rogue stuff in the mix.

[@weckar]

Pendulum scales were originally designed such that the two numbers COULD be different. Only the number pointing towards the center of the board would count. However, due to an almost immediate poor reception of the mechanic this was never implemented and now it is no longer possible within the rules.

[@DustyQatun]

We're like 2 sentences into the first card and im already lost lmao
