i scrolled down to see when was the last time gub was banned becus it definitely wasnt 2018... halq wasnt tcg till 2020

[@minabasejderha5972]

The 2012 ban of GUB was famously unnecessary, though. That list was almost entirely to push Synchro strats of the meta to convince people to play XYZ. As for GUB's second banning, it was because Linkuriboh (and I guess Anima) made it a free rank 2. Problem is, there are lots of cards which are free rank 2s like that, but people have a weirdly based view of GUB. Technically, it mills for effect and Jet Synchron mills for cost, but I straightforwardly do not think that makes it more bannable.

You just go glow-up, relinquished, glowup effect have a link two that can go in every deck. Today its just any deck could use that as their normal summon to get into moon into fiend Smith.

26:44 100%. It was banned in a period when Konami literally said: "look, we know you like to synchro summon, but we want to push the newly released xyz summon a bit more". Plant engine would have been completely fine going forward. The only instance glow up bulb would have been too strong would have been in combination with halqifibrax, although that may have been applicable for any good level 3 or lower tuner.

[@GeneralNickles]

Glow-up bulb has been banned twice, dude. It was legal from mid-2014 to January 2019. Then it got banned again, not because of halq (because halq didn't exist for over a year afterward), but because everyone was complaining that bulb was just free link material in literally deck. It also had a ridiculous interaction with linkuriboh. I would argue that bulb absolutely still deserves to be banned. It's 2 free material in any deck that find a way to summon it without using there normal, which isn't difficult.

[@FellowIntello]

I wish sometimes Farfa had the knowledge of pokemon TCG so he could bridge the gap a bit better; Like at 11:26 he could’ve explained Xyz summoning as like evolving a pokemon, whether it’s normal into EX or V maxing a V Pokemon. Still a really good episode and love his content and his guest’s reactions/deductions.

[@Kaimax61]

because that's completely different, you don't treat the pre evolution that's stacked under as a resource in pokemon tcg. In pokemon you just stack them, but Xyz needs atleast 2, not to mention discarding for monster effect You can't discard pikachu under a raichu to use attacks.

Foolish vs painful (I'd expect like 95-99% hit rate from any of the "card" game players) Red Reboot vs Trap Stun (I'd expect like 95-99% hit rate from any of the "card" game players) Rhongo vs Alembertian (Honestly I expect 60%+ of "card" game players to get this one) Glow up bulb vs Revolution (Can easily see why 50%+ of people might not get this one) Honestly the first two aren't the nicest picks to actually watch as a viewer as they don't feel like they are in the orbit of "hard". The Rhongo vs Alembertian one would have been cooler if the player got it wrong but I can see where it's coming from. The Glow up bulb for a contextless player that can ask Farfa questions is really good and fits in this format really well to me.

[@0__Vector]

Yeah I feel like Painful Choice should've been paired with a search card like RotA over Foolish, because that could either lead to a surprise that you want stuff in the grave in Yugioh, or cause the guest to second guess why searching for a specific card wouldn't just automatically be better than having your opponent choose for you. Paired with Foolish makes it so obvious that the goal is to get stuff in the grave, so obviously you pick the one that sends 4 things to grave AND gives you a card instead of just one to grave. Red Reboot vs Trap Stun also felt fairly simple, I think maybe something like Dark Bribe or something else in that vain could've been more interesting to evaluate against each other if you don't know how fast Yugioh is.

[@tiggerbane4325]

@@0__Vector honestly I think Red Reboot and something like droll would have been “better” than the two used I don’t think Dark Bribe fits really well cause it doesn’t have either the from hand effect or the lingering effect.

If revolution was released at the same time as bulb, then it would have definitely been the better card in those earlier formats, but bulb as aged like fine-wine and is absolutely the better card from a modern perspective.

I feel like other card games are beginning to understand yugioh better partially because the speed of their own games have gradually been accelerating to a yugioh level, with more and more ways to win fast or cast stuff for free/cheap and slowly break that resource mechanic, which is the reason why the other games are slower

No, glow-up bulb is a 1-card link 2 in any deck in the game. Also good going second as a 1-card S:P. Rev synchron is too specific and the cards it summons aren't worth using

[@GreyVictory1510]

I agree. Yes, Glow Up is generic, but doesn't get itself onto the field. So it takes a normal for a Link 2, which we have other cards for, or eats another of your effects to search and then summon or just summon from deck (1 for 1). And for these it is by far not the best target anymore. With the current power level it can come back no problem.

Glow up bulb was at one most of the time. Pretty sure it was banned because halq and link kuriboh made it an easy link 4 or even a one card combo starter on its own. Together with one for one and other cards really easy and free extender it also made naturia beast possible in dinos and lightsworn.

[@buttonasas]

Can anyone explain Rhongo to me? - First of all, how the hell do you get 6 material for the 5 effect? I thought you could have at most 5 monsters on field suitable for xyz? - It seems absolute trash? Farfa keeps talking about the great effects but never addresses the part where you need to wait for your opponent's end phase to even gain them? Am I missing some combo here where you make it happen immediately? - Also, I'm very confused by the wording on multiple of these cards, Rhongo has this but other cards I've seen as well: what is "once per turn, during ... end phase" supposed to mean? Can you get more than one end phase? Why "during"? Do you attach the material back after the phase ends? Even the simple stuff like "gain effect" where effect is "gain ATK/DEF" so you... _gain gain_ ATK/DEF? I'm so confounded by stuff like this in YGO...
