[@ryanwhite3393]

so Hoban sided the second garnet so he could ask his opponent to side out garnets and then he would side in his second one? lmao

[@Koburakage]

LOL ^this guy gets it! I was thinking the same thing.

[@yugiohhustler5466]

Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha fuuuuuck😂😂😂

[@thugjuice69]

+Ryan White Me an my friends did this to each other tonight over wavering Eyes. Cause you know, fuck that god damn card.

[@ryanwhite3393]

+thugjuice69 hahahah.

[@TheKillzone9999]

I love his magician line up. I was running that a few weeks before he posted it but it is the most consistent in r4 spam

[@RogueHero]

Desmond wrecked me at nats with psy blocker lol such an underated card.

[@rickysingh7896]

Wow in the year 2024 it’s pretty crazy how much of deck building and theory still applies and intuition he had was correct. Goes to show Patrick Hoban really was one of the best to ever do it!

[@KingBwinkus]

God damn he looks like he is gonna claw his skin off at any moment.

[@shodeb5564]

Basically he hates the deck but still plays it lol

[@CJDivide]

it's the best deck why wouldn't he play it

[@shodeb5564]

Teh Divide it's a game. Why would u play something you hate?

[@joshua14658]

gotta join them to win em

[@CJDivide]

+Sho Deb cause he's totally gonna play a shit deck at tournaments

[@shodeb5564]

Teh Divide dude chill.

[@raado1499]

I reckon Hoban gets 11minutes of sleep a night

[@victorymagician]

+Raado14 no, he's just always coked out

[@YGOPaisano]

What would he side out when he would put magical springs?

[@matevosvachyan5494]

I wonder if Pat gets upset when people use his deck lists cuz this is definitely something I wanna test out

[@TheZarr]

he's almost always ready to play those mirror matches

[@TopTierYugioh]

+Eleazar Mendoza And he said he always prepares to beat what won the last event because people are going to netback it

[@BooooClips]

was the arg las vegas streamed?

[@kurtcobane1762]

+Nick Ward 10:50 "nobody knows because it wasn't streamed"

[@brokenfiddle3379]

My Nigga in the background looking like he saw someone get rekt.

[@ryanshock3404]

Patrick is the best

[@matevosvachyan5494]

Playing palo makes trish viable, although does he not play it because of the resources that it takes up, or because he wants that palo specifically for the turn 1 Nat beast play?

[@brokeguydtd]

+Matevos Vachyan i was playing against a similar deck using my racoons and went first and made nat beast......player could not do anything. Nat beast too good against mag pepe

[@nazmibest]

When Notice comes out, that will be the end of Nat beast.

[@gwright1995]

+SXeNaz That will be slapped to 1 pretty much instantly.

[@joshua14658]

+Ben Wainwright (Zaitei) not till product sells out at konami

[@nazmibest]

***** it might of gone to 1 or 2. we only know what got banned in the Jan list.

[@CallMeNevermore]

@@gwright1995 Oh yeah?

[@Haooryu]

im going with my grysta deck to locals, there is lots of things to do to make it fast xD, but im gonna do it

[@ccboy3960]

What does floodgate deck mean??

[@69djpitbull]

It basically means it's a deck that can stop a lot of major plays in a lot of decks. Meaning you can make monsters on your first turn that let you opponent basically do nothing. Such as the brilliant madolche deck where you can make naturia beast and abyss dweller first turn with the right hand. Also it could run cards like mistake, light imprisoning mirror, imperial iron wall. These are traps

[@joseallentenorio]

dude if you hate the deck so much why o why did you play it???

[@dwaynemcfadden731]

Hoban's aura just screams I'm a dickhead and that acne is killing me lol.

[@glenjacobs9296]

i agree he is kinda a douche but don't mock his acne or his face it's not fun trust me

[@dwaynemcfadden731]

+Glen Jacobs what do you mean?

[@glenjacobs9296]

+Dwayne Mcfadden what i mean is stop making fun of someone's face

[@dwaynemcfadden731]

+Glen Jacobs just saying how I felt Glen and it is a bit of an eyesore and couldn't even watch entire vid.

[@glenjacobs9296]

+Dwayne Mcfadden then don't look at his face watch the deck and his acne isn't that bad i have in 2 sides of my face acne and i don't look well.

[@BearBear5]

Biggest GLO UP 2015

[@97masterskater]

how good are infernoids vs this deck? i mean he side decked the roach just for the match so??

[@DJAizakku]

Infernoids have bigger beaters, which can be a problem for PePe since they like to make large boards as opposed to sitting on a giant monster. Roach is just an extra out to the bigger Infernoids. Let's not forget their D.D. Crow effects, it can be useful like hitting Trick Clown, Garnet or other Norden/Emeral targets.

[@darrennguyen1946]

what was that lv 1called?

[@sune301]

I hate this card This card sucks These cards sucks

[@bobinthescrubs]

Has Hoban ever run a deck without Upstarts?

[@gilbertnolazco6998]

Probably not. Having a 37 card deck is better than 40.

[@hugoaguilar3294]

Was this pre bosh?

[@Mugen1874]

Wubba dub dub

[@BlackDemiseKing]

Why so late? We already know the list by now.

[@zets8238]

3 upstarts?

[@ranch-nachos]

3 upstart

[@armoredtyranitar9934]

So he didn't expect any kozmo?

[@TopTierYugioh]

+ArmoredTyranitar I think he expected it, but knows his deck is better so he wasn't too worried about it

[@armoredtyranitar9934]

TopTierYugioh Still, kozmo isn't a bad deck. If they out your only ignister you've lost

[@TopTierYugioh]

Oh for sure, Kozmo definitely isn't bad, but pendulums have so many more options and outs to everything. They simply have a better engine; assuming both players draw statistically average hands and neither misplays, a pendulum player will probably beat a kozmo player.

[@zefraschosen]

Didnt this guy cheat once? not in this tournament but like a while ago with a different deck?

[@frankdamsy9715]

he didn't cheat he just did something extremely frowned upon, he was playing a Nekroz mirror match and he and his opponent mutually decided to side out dijin and he sided in another dijin.

[@zefraschosen]

frank damsy yeah i agree it was a gentleman's agreement which means his opponent wasnt dumb he wanted to make an unfun match a little more fun and let skill be more a factor and patrick accepted which means he really should have sided out the dang djinn to be honest instead of putting an identical piece of cardboard in each others places which is not siding out really cuz yur main and side deck are the exact same as they were. Just one of the biggest dick moves ever pulled in the game tho he didn't break written rule but the code amongst players.

[@williamfan6646]

Igknight Reload is actually insane

[@quatre5555]

+William Fan its actually not

[@buggranger4781]

+quatre5555 actually is

[@quatre5555]

must be cause no one uses it. only gets you one card further into your deck, by putting cards back and taking a random chance at getting something better. upstart if anything is definitely a much better option. theres a card for performapals that does the exact same thing as reload and to no surprise no one uses it either. i played with it a few months back. it completely blows.

[@owned2050]

I was playing this duel on dn just copy and pasta what he had an got fucking tossed on my neck. I would open bad get luck hell hard game 1 hand 2 fusion garnet trick lose rock paper scissor for first get rekt. play this guy set 5 has all the answer play another guy turn1 beast 99% spell hand. I don't if I get bad luck cuz I total an admin to fuck off but pepe seem pretty sure shit I never see the card to otk like I open fusion once to today I open instant once and I open triple instant and I think u need the magician more than the other guy wisdom cuz that deck has like what 15million 5 scalesluster plush wisdom and 1 mirror 2 4 and 1 8 and u run a rank 4 spam. and u know I never see my scale

[@timmead3415]

hoban needs a shower

[@ranch-nachos]

Camera guy asks too many questions

[@gonedoof8531]

Because special summoning a monster for absolutely no cost is bad...

[@Manfred3106]

Yes ist is because you could also pendelum summon it. So why running a card which you can only specialsummon it when you could run a card with a good effect you can also special summon with no cost because of the pendulum
