Performage Pendulum (December 2015) | The History of Yu-Gi-Oh!

[@darkjaden-fe]

Alex making a specific point that Skullcrobat joker can only add Performapals, Odd-Eyes or pendulum Magicians, and then adding a Performage card

[@quinnkaplan172]

to be fair my brain also autocorrected performapals to performage, which is what im guessing happened to both cimo and mbt.

[@RPK_96]

Yeah same, more proof Ygo players don’t read(all of it)

[@mazenmz603]

@@quinnkaplan172as someone that played this deck and against this deck I can never miss stuff like this the performages are such a strong and annoying bunch in comparison to the performapals

They found a way for joker to be even more broken than it already is

[@TheGoldenBoot-cz1do]

😂😂

[@thederpiestofderps]

Hat Tricker is my favorite Performapal monster 🙂 Edit: After game 3 so is damage juggler

[@ChampionMarx]

Imagine if joker could search performages. Cimo really thinking outside the box

[@dallaselder7457]

Crazy, right? Good thing it didn’t matter in the slightest

[@mcfluffikinz7365]

Cimo attacked with Garnet. This is the 1-in-million game where the ATK actually mattered.

[@Crackers2796]

well attacking with it is not that uncommon, but there was also an 1800 gem knight target that was like 10 cents instead of $10 and he would have been just as good here

[@effluxi9587]

Well i mean the gemknight attacking happens relatively often if you run 2 in a pend deck. What doesn't come up often is the 100 point difference from the next strongest gemknight, who has 1800 and wasn't bought out to shit

[@NikoAmii]

Pendulum really did usher in the era of every deck being able to otk at any given turn

[@lazerd3662]

I can’t wait for the d/d/d episode so you both get the treat of reading those cards

We dont need another community blacklisting MBT

[@maurogonzalez6242]

also known as the Brent episode, we all waiting for that powerpoint of possible plays for the D/Ds

[@yazanabbadi4247]

The worst ever history episode incoming...

[@gigalodon14]

Wow they discovered Joker‘s secret effect to search any pendulum card

[@ComfortableStraightjacket]

Any card really

[@TheLawYGO]

The format where I won my first and only regional xD In all seriousness, there was a very key couple of pieces missing from Cimo's list. Jigabyte and X-Saber Palomuro were both key cards in this time period with King of the Feral Imps, as the former gave easier rank 4s and the latter could be used with Hat Tricker to access Naturia Beast, which was an auto win summon for the mirror match. Those 2 are so pivotal to the pre-BOSH PePe list that I hope its looked at a little more before we move into BOSH.

[@Azkadaz]

Not to mention that the list also played Painful Decision and Vector Pendulum, which enabled more consistent scales and put a 0 def monster in the GY for Masked Chameleon. Also, 2 Brilliant + 2 Garnet, really?

[@dolphinsniper]

If you think Cimo's list was bad, just look at MBT's list. No Nobledragon Magician, no Dragonpulse Magician, no SKY IRIS which is the best card in the deck by far (oh you want to use Wavering Eyes on me? Too bad!), no Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon to act as an extender to your plays by summoning the level 7 in your pendulum zone and going into an XYZ play? Not to mention Magicians used Dracoslayers as well, because why wouldn't you?

[@blahmaster6k]

​@@dolphinsniper yeah why tf was there no sky iris in mbt's list?

[@jefferycraig5353]

Imagine reading Skullcrobat, then immediately resolving the card wrong. Wild

[@aecflashbreaker]

Massacre. Demolition. These are some of the words used to to describe this set holy shit this is shorter than the MS FTK duel 3 weeks ago

[@nikodemossowski4621]

this is as close to Coughing Baby/Nuclear Bomb this series gonna get

[@HardlegGaming]

I've eaten candy bars that lasted longer than those first two duels.

[@birdofclay9581]

Small note about Brilliant Fusion: In Gem Knights, if you want to swing with the monster you summoned off of it, you can just pitch Gem Knight Fusion and immediately add it back to hand by banishing one of the Gem Knight monsters sent with Brilliant Fusion. It´s a nice little interaction I got to pull off in Master Duel a couple times (where it´s at 1).

[@Elderunlimited9]

Ahh yes I remember trying to search damage juggler or plushfire with joker back in the day too

[@jacobjensen7704]

I’m surprised the deck didn’t play Majespecter Kirin instead of Apex Avian. It’s signiiiiiiiiificantly less bricky.

[@balistikscaarz1959]

This is when I got into the game. Master of pendulum structure had me hooked.

[@Chaosm03]

Yes we are now in one of my favorite eras of Yugioh. It's going to be alot of fun until we reach Zoodiac.

[@DemonFox369]

Joker cannot search Performages 16:40

[@DoeSeeDoe123]

Truly one of the episodes of all time

[@andalthevandal2528]

I think you should showcase the Pendulum vs Artifact Kozmo match up. In particular my regional topping Kozmo list 😅

[@massimocalzola9138]

After taking my first big pause from the game at the start of high-school during Druler format I came back to the game thanks to some new friends exactly during this time. This format will always have a special place in my heart not just because I particolary enjoyed playing it but mostly because of the people I was playing with; some that I than later lost to the threads of life. Really enjoying this series and me and my friends exactly like MBT tried for so long to make a deck that pend summon Apex works for so long a real journey trough memory lane.

[@WShoup9818]

MBT I'm gonna bring a jank deck to history of Yu-Gi-Oh. Cimo- I'm bringing an evolved version of clown blade.

[@Angel-zh8cz]

As someone whose first deck was Odd Eyes Pendulum Magician and then proceeded to play this deck for the next 5 YEARS this episode has me excited to finally see this deck in action in the History of Yugioh Edit: and it’s just as bad as I remembered. Although I’m not sure if builds later removed the traps for sky iris, odd eyes fusion, more odd eye scales, etc

[@Angel-zh8cz]

23:57 Damn I got flashbacks of me hating Oafdragon have re-emerged. You can’t add Oafdragon off Oafdragon

[@GrumpyGremlins77]

Mbts list is really bad and i have no idea where he got it from. I remember playing odd eyes so much when the structure dropped and sky iris was always in there along with performages. Bad lists + egregious misplays = kinda a lazy episode. This was a really fun time in yugioh for me but this ep blew

[@KD8_NotTheShoes]

What a BEAUTIFUL format, so excited for the next few episodes,

[@NitsuaBZ]

I had just quit playing Yu-Gi-Oh when this structure deck came out. My friend started telling me about how they combined spells and monster cards. It was a wild time to leave the game.

[@DRok09]

These decks are the reason why I play this game today. Cimo’s deck is one of my favorite decks of all time.

[@iowa89357]

Can we get gage to react to history series, like MBT does for progression. Would love to see his reaction to game one

[@NARFNra]

gage finally gets to clown back on everyone

[@YugiSannin92]

And remember guys, performapal is not the same as performage :)

[@jamiemeason5051]

One of the things I remember playing with Pendulum Magician / Odd-Eyes used to be was Sky Iris (field spell) and Odd-Eyes Fusion (fusion spell card). Sky Iris could protect the scales from targeting and also search your odd-eyes monster or spell. And Odd-Eyes Fusion allowed you to make Vortex dragon way easier (as it has a effect if your opponent controls monsters you can use your extra deck). That was 1 reason why you run the Odd-Eyes Rebellion XYZ in extra. Also Majespecter Kirin was playable and was a free bounce and a LVL 6 for your Norito or Utopia rank 6 plus Odd-Eyes double damage OTK. Glad to see MBT play one of my favourite archtypes, even if this was its first build. :)

[@Lord_Phoenix95]

It was honestly the worst build he picked. There was a Odd-Eyes Magician Turbo Deck that could get out Absolute Dragon which makes people think about doing stuff and also Meteorburst Dragon just says no to effects in the Battle Phase.

[@ragedrock5945]

I love it when Performapal Skullcrobat Joker searches Performages

[@bulbasam2143]

Yoooooooo I’ve been waiting for y’all to get here! That structure deck is the exact point I got into the game and I’ve been on pend magicians ever since. My deck looked a lot like MBT’s here, but worse, until pendulum evolution haha. Really excited to see this episode!

[@MasterPeaceTrueGlue-EatingKing]

I remember Dzeeff running the Brilliant Fusion engine in almost everything.

[@nigerianprinceajani]

Everyone ran it in everything, especially when Orphys Scorpio became a Rank 3 + Seraphinite + Extender in GY. It was just that good.

[@esrohm6460]

boi you gotta love 3 upstart in a 41 card deck. that third upstart really putting in the work there to get your back to 40 cards

[@michaelgrey1503]

I'm so excited to see Odd-Eyes Magician here. I loved this deck when it came out, even if I bought my Apex Avians late and so I had to pay an extra $12 per copy for.

[@paintsplatkid13]

At 17:09 Trapeze magician can activate to get a performage from deck even if the summon is negated because it says "possession and not control".

[@BlumenCT]

Cimo with the Broken Deck Jumpscare it's shocking there was any argument to be made for MBT's.

I got back into the game at this point in 2015 in college after not playing since 5Ds and it was a lotta fun. Love my pendulums

Shoutouts to when the release of this structure took Apex Avian from a 30 cent card to a $25 card overnight

[@AKingofBacon]

Many people were playing Stardust Dragon during this format just because Wavering Eyes is such a nutty card, which was really cool to see at the time. Hope they show it off in a future episode!

[@andreapiccolo8199]

Mbt needed to make absolute Dragon turn 1 to survive, but that would require he plays the lv3 tuner and meteorburst. Man, i loved early pend magicians

[@Lord_Phoenix95]

Idk why he wasn't playing Odd-Eyes Pendulum Magician Turbo. It was basically the best deck especially with Odd-Eyes Vortex being released prior.

[@Ironpecker]

I have to say as someone who played pendulum magician during that exact era of yugioh that while at first the decklist looked like what joseph was piloting, eventually it started to include many more pendulum monsters inlcuding bunbuku, kirin and lots of odd-eyes with sky iris which is a crazy card. I hope during the next episodes you show off that build of pendulum magician (without the performages) which was the second best deck during PePe and that got kirin banned! Lastly absolute and vortex dragon are crazy cards, you can search 1 odd-eyes fusion with sky iris and you get an absurd boss monster, while absolute makes any low attack monster you have represent an extra odd-eyes to attack the opponent and if by any chance your opponent destroyed it you actually got to summon vortex!

[@Azkadaz]

19:24 Cimo could have done Foolish Burial into Trick Clown, then overlay with Joker to make either Ptolemaeus into Pleiades to interrupt, or King of the Feral Imps to get Partnaga to get to scales for Wavering Eyes. Passing on Joker was stupid imo

[@Reachmond]

Ptolemaeus requires 3 detachs to rank up

[@Azkadaz]

@@Reachmond read Ptolemaeus' full effect. During the EP, it can attach a Stellarknight as material (Diamond) and the rank-up effect is a Quick Effect, so he can make Pleiades during MBT's draw phase
