ORCUST BYSTIAL HORUS - Ten Minute Testing

[@MysteriousQuiggles]

I'd like to think Joseph took up cello lessons again around the subathon just to do this TMT.

[@TofuofLight]

At first i was gonna doubt this comment by saying “he really bought a cello and look up lessons for a 5 second bit.” But then i realized who i was watching so it checks out

[@tanklett]

When was the subathon?

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

This kinda feels like a "passing of the torch". Years ago it was "Orcust full combo" being splashed into everything, and now it is Horus (with the Bystials guest starring)

[@galaxyvulture6649]

If they everbring back mermaid I would cry so badly since that was so toxic. The amount of negates you could get was ridiculous and with better cards it would be morr annoying.

[@antman7673]

@@galaxyvulture6649 Harp alone is a big step. -Maybe mermaid can come back in 5-10 years. Depending how the power creep goes.

[@jayman445]

Ehhh no. Horus is only really ran with low rouge decks. It’s not splashed into a majority of meta decks like orcust was

[@andrewfirth9858]

they basically remade knightmare mermaid with the fiendsmith stuff :(

[@RenSako]

@@jayman445This aged poorly

[@tootsie_]

I wondered for a second why MBT was reading out the Orcust effects like they were some brand new shitter strategy when this was a tier 1 meta deck but then i realized the last time this archetype was playable was like almost 4 years ago.

[@Lulu-dc4zq]

The banlists was on 2020 my friend, I don't know how you count your years, but that is not the human metric I tell ya. Orcust was the strongest at the January 2020 banlists as it was then where people started tinkering with orcust sky, the strongest version for the deck. So dunno how "the last time it was playable it was like 6 years ago" ever came from.

[@tootsie_]

I thought it was late 2019 and I felt it was kinda falling out of favor but I'll edit my comment to say 4 😅

This was the video that made me realize Konami put exactly 25 changes on the banlist

[@BoBnfishy]

It's wild that Armageddon Knight is still practically an auto include in dark decks

[@KingRoni1222]

Rise, orcust sweepers! RISE! I BID THEE! Rise from your graves of brass and string! Relinquish yourselves of the chains of the yard and summon forth your brethren! Return to the deck from whence ye came and bring upon us the grand crescendo! Bystials be damned as we march forth to harken a new age of strife!

[@Ragnarok540]

Orcust has been a fun option in a few master duel events, but in the current format it feels really underpowered, even with three harp horror in the MD banlist.

[@TheBaldingPied]

I'm gonna be real i totaly forgot photon lord had effects that weren't dependent on having photon/galaxy as material lmaoo. I don't think i've ever used the negate without detatching a galaxy.

[@forgeree]

thats pretty much only you, its been a staple for any rank 8 deck for a minute

The Longirsu comparison closing the video did it for me.

great job on the trumpet!

[@zacharypayne2903]

The opening....that was the first few notes of Megalovania you sneaky bastard!

[@RayquaSr.]

Always has been.

[@DeathMetalDuelist666]

People keep trying to run orcust cards like an engine when it should be run as a deck (I have been testing this deck since harps ban). Horus runic orcust or Horus scrap orcust is the wave

[@shen.daniel]

Damn, that introduction made me realize mbt wasn't even making all the ussy jokes before harp got banned. It really has been this long huh

[@dearickangelonej.legaspi6686]

As someone who played Orcust in Master Duel at "full" power I'd say its not the best but in a sealed or a day to day friend group duel its one of the more fun decks with lots of interactions and vulnerabilities so more "hype" moments can happen

[@honeyham6788]

honestly, it makes me annoyed that orcust look so long to get unbanned. if they had come off the list a year ago i think orcust could really have slotted well

[@DKODA97]

Last time it did anything in OCG was nearly 3 years ago... Its just not what it used to be. Mermaid made the deck busted and splashable, searchable engine...

[@fieldoflettuce7091]

Could've come back some time in 2021 when they started lifting restriction on the other TOSS format decks and the deck would've been fine. Instead Konami TCG decided for whatever reason it should rot on the list for almost 4 years... Ridiculous, Orcust felt like it was gonna be one of those archetypes like Infernity where it has cards on the list for years when the deck wouldn't have done anything for a while.

[@DKODA97]

@@fieldoflettuce7091 that format was Fair, they could've kept it untouched and newer decks wouldve started to dominate on their own accord... But we all know Konami is just a cash grab.

[@go2it566]

Remember when harp horror went to 2 in Md and then 3 and still nobody cared? I remember that

[@EnemyMango]

That poor harp will get eaten alive when he first squares up with the bystials and modern yugioh.

[@Deadzme]

I took Horus Orcust to locals last night and went 4-0. I’m still iffy on adding the bystial engine

[@rinpg3333]

You know the engine is bad when even I don't wanna brew orcust with it

[@JPitt1070]

🙏🏻 Dear god please don’t let Orcust ever be meta again so I don’t have to hear MBT say Babel wrong

[@imth3nutr8ntyt97]

Babel is pronounced Bay-Bell, not Bah-Bal. The pronunciation coming from the tower of babel. I think he's saying it correctly, but he probably said it both ways in the video.

[@Smeik2901]

​@@imth3nutr8ntyt97 Babel is obviously a reference to the biblic verse about the tower of babylon and theoretically in hebrew Babel or בבל is prounced Ba-behl.

[@marque_iii3859]

I like how he never forgets the U in "OrcUHst"

[@shine-ub6eb]

[@Valadit]

I was GOING to give up on orchard until some yugi-tuber suggested I try to keep reinventing a deck with staying power rather than play whatever is topping the most in the format. It’s a least more interesting than biggis bungis turbo (danger gren maju)

[@codycarney2311]

I'm glad to see the music demon boi free again.

[@Rain593]

I think Orcust will find a home as a Runick variant.

[@samarlow3497]

Seems fun, but conflicting field spells plus locking yourself to dark on the opponents turn seems kinda annoying.

[@duelme1234]

I suggest watching Joshua Schidmt's vod on testing the new format and the part where he explains the problems of the deck.

[@Rain593]

@@duelme1234 i saw it. Honestly with how tcg players are someone is gonna find some nutty combo that'll make Orcust viable. I've seen Orcust Tear being talked about too.

[@zigzag321go]

Scheiren+orcust is probably full combo.

[@DKODA97]

​@@Rain593 I could see that if Mermaid was unbanned, but its not a searchable consistent extra combo for decks anymore, and there are much Better Midrange Strategies. I could see a small engine in a Tear Deck, but Honestly, it seem like it would be awful draws...

"did you miss us?" Yes. Yes I did

[@darksphere4679]

do you think theres any way to bring back the old Orcust Lunalight strategy in any capacity now? or is that still dead in the water

[@BGriffin_UK]

Nice violin work

[@holmborn]

Crazy how Ib doesnt earn a spot in Orcust

[@astercat49]

For some reason Orcust doesn’t have any “World Legacy” cards, besides World Wand, that you’d want to search. However, Lib at least is an integral part of the Scrap engine if you play that Orcust variant.

[@gubigubigubigubi]

She does if Knightmare Mermaid gets unbanned. But without having the generic way to bridge the archetypes theres really not much between them.

[@animationtv426]

World legacy succession ​@@astercat49

[@ashikjaman1940]

Sadly Girsu functionally can't become a Tuner on your first turn and the only other Orcust Tuner is Brass Bombard. Also adding another garnet seems wack lol

[@gubigubigubigubi]

@@ashikjaman1940 Its actually not too hard to make him a tuner really. You can do it pretty easily with Runick and also with Sky Strikers. Pretty much any runick spell lets you turn him into a tuner. Then Hornet drones or engage also let you turn him into a tuner very easily. Problem is then you can't make the token in either of those situations.

[@pableitor2009]

I hope that people realize that "full orcust combo" in 2024 crumbles to against a single fenrir. Harp could've come back years ago

[@metalmariomega]

"Orcust Combo" was never really a full board, more like something you throw up after setting a bunch of Fog Blades/Widow Anchors. Which probably do more nowadays than a single Crescendo or a Dingirsu loop.

[@ericpontarelli1690]

we know youre cooking ghoti Joseph, lets see it, the fish must apply their training

[@midn8588]

Orcusts are best used as extenders on a long combo that can bin one of them at the end of the base combo for extra extension and grind power. They're less good in midrangey type decks like this one, and sadly most of the ways to bin a harp are now banned. Maybe some sort of synchro strategy that can make shooting riser wants them now, or if dark warrior ever becomes a thing again they'll be good, but I don't think they line up great with the current meta.

[@nonadqs]

You know shooting riser has text, right?

[@mustafaoh9866]

Orcust is back babyyyy

[@thepotato513]

This has to be one of the greatest MBT sketches of all time

[@masenhopper5247]

Orcust combo into PK rusty gives an extra interruption in fog blade and with the newer rank up you can banish 2 darks to go into raidraptor ultimate falcon using dingirsu as material. Summon ultimate falcon after using dingirsu and other interruptions to at least give you another turn to pop off. Uneffected decent big stick could be all you need in some scenarios to push through some things, plus fog blade is still pretty good.

[@albotski1253]

orcust is already bricky enough

[@ricardomunoz122]

Resonator engine is pretty fun

[@eu4um]

I did not expect you to actually play that cello wello. But hello, i stand corrected.

[@obskewerd3992]

MBT, Try my deck. I tried to show it to coder but he told me I was bad or something. Vanquish Swordsoul. No Mo Ye (thats why Coder didn’t like it I think) Longyuan at 2x Emergence at 3x Jiaolong and Longyuan are both Fire + Wyrm. Jiaolong is a ROTA on steroids for VS. Can pitch her for longyuan. Choose between Barrone, Chengying, Augerine Icejade or Sinister sovereign. Chengying- Combos insanely well with snow devil Icejade - Protect stuff Barrone - negate Sinister sovereign (my fave) Combine his burn banish, With borgers 1500 every standby, plus the longyuan 1200 burn. It comes up a lot and has won me games. Its my favourite SwordSoul Auspice Chunjun. Progides a dodge and an earth attribute in hand. Jiaolong and Longyuan, can essentially make you a way to razen as well, through things like revealing Ash blossom, Longyuan, Abyss dragon swordsoul. Its the most consistent version iv played to get to razen. I dont even use madlove because Jiaolong can search so frequently and easily for ANY VS CARD. You can mix and match your attribute targets all you like but longyuan Emergence Auspice Abyss dragon swordsoul Pretty much do the job as they are.

[@obskewerd3992]

I keep trying to share this sauce with people and im being told its bad. But I believe in it 💪 and I haven’t even finished labbing it yet

I don't care if it's meh, I'm still gonna try. Given that I missed TOSS format and that I've always wanted to play Orcust (machine decks are my Jam). It's also the only somewhat relevant machine deck right now that won't make you take out a second mortgage on your home just to play it.
