PROGRESSION PLAYOFF #33 - Stardust Overdrive

[@InterstellarVulpine]

To the untrained eye, it may seem that MBT had set Fairy Wind against Leah, but, if you look closely, you'll see that it was actually a Gagaga Cowboy painted pink all along.

[@amiablereaper]

It was a Jigglypuff, seen from above!

[@publickip]

nobody laughing at the "Heres my Twitter Support impression" killed me

[@ethaninjapan]

Totally not opposed to hidden arsenal, that set literally defined this era of yugioh. It also has a lot of cards that would definitely see play.

[@netcat22]

Same, it's so sad they don't include side sets.

[@bduddy55555]

Better solution: Go back in time and add side sets from the beginning

[@wormyagan8213]

If they don’t open hidden arsenal they can’t play worms

[@hughjass2640]

So what you're saying is...... It changed everything?

[@TheSuperf12]

It says you made this comment 2 days ago.... how?

[@Garulon_Remir]

"And Cimo looked at MBTs Blackwing deck, and saw that it was good. And so he said. Three shall be the number of times thou shalt win, and the number of the wins shall be three. Four times shalt thou not win with this deck, neither will thou win two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out."

[@tks3131]

Bring forth the holy kalut grenade.

[@TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

I’m glad majestic stardust is “almost unplayable” instead of entirely unplayable seeing as Stardust is banned.

[@hexi9595]

Well, you can simply find a card that changes names...

[@chataclysm2112]

@@hexi9595 wait what's the actual ruling on when a synchro in particular requires a named non-tuner? does the card that changes names also have to be the same level?

[@LeodSMW]

@@chataclysm2112 It has to be a level that allows you to summon the synchro, so that its level with the tuner adds up correctly. There doesn't need to be a ruling here, that is just how Synchros work.

[@JayPhoenix]

It’s not REALLY 5D’s era without hidden arsenal Y’all should add five packs of hidden arsenal for everyone

[@AstridCeleste96]

Time for Leah to get her sixes by adding three Brionac to her pool

[@cristianDominguez314]

MBT when he goes from an absolutely winning position to a slightly winning position: "Fuck, I'm going to lose now. I just cant win here"

[@lordvaust5830]

Fun fact; in Duel Links’ loaner deck duels, they have a list for spiders. It is one of the legit hardest duels to win in Loaners because not only are spiders bad, but the AI’s deck is specifically outfitted to counter spiders’ best plays. I won through a mix of luck and abandoning the intended playstyle for whatever I could muster to not lose

[@ctusiard9755]

Some loaner decks are seriously hilarious, like Megalith is so bad in the game they have you try them against vanilla fusions.

[@kipstz8104]

omg i remember that deck literally took me like an hour it was insane, the only good card was the traptrix guy because it had 1800 attack lol

[@azurepixels]

I still have nightmares of not being able to win with Lavals

[@slammgames7425]

@@azurepixels oml same here u needed a VERY specific hand

[@midn8588]

This was early master duel Demise/Ruin solo mode. You would invest 100% of your resources into sticking a demise and the AI would normal summon a manju and ballista squad your demise and you would just lose.

[@jmbw4271]

You know, the 5ds opening has grown on me. Excited to hear it every time.

[@InvaderWeezle]

I'm very curious how MBT tackles the Zexal theme song when they get to it.

[@erickjr9]

@@InvaderWeezle I just want him covering both openings, my only fear is the Vrains opening

[@InvaderWeezle]

@@erickjr9 I have no clue how the Vrains opening will be tackled. Not only is there no lyrics to parody, but it's not even catchy like the DM theme where it's not hard to create lyrics to sing along with the tune.

[@maxlongtin5444]

Medusa is such a sick tech card honestly

[@heliasthehelias3058]

When the NOTHING is HALF OR!

[@BillyBob-xx5jr]

This is honestly one of the best episodes in a while. While yes everyone was on Blackwing, it was just really funny and some tech choices like Master Gig and Reptilianne Medusa were super hype. Also Jo getting his first win since I think like early or mid GX? I'm really interested to see the decks people bring next time, I think Koa'ki Meiru actually is solid and worth considering.

[@DrDrao]

So far, I think he's won 1 episode each season.

[@AnRuixuan]

Yep his only two other victories are from Cybernetic Revolution and Soul of the Duelist

Might be a good idea to count the token cards and if they equal a pack, open an extra pack, so the huge amount of token cards don't screw any of you guys over.

I was wondering if you had pulled this set before because I could swear I saw these pulls already. Then I realized I was there live.

[@Iwant0ut]

I'd love to see the hidden arsenal sets. The first one has some powerful synnchros but 2 3 and 4 are full of fun jank for sealed . Plus lots of the cards in the core sets are useless without hidden arsenal like x saber flamevells worms and others

[@NARFNra]

"What is the correct way to pronounce this terrible archetype?" Fun fact, the Japanese for it is "Koakimeiru"... which was transliterated directly like that, but is probably actually meant to be "Core Chimail", with Chimail sounding a bit like Chimera. I now just say it this way all the time when it comes up and see if people to correct me

[@dm-sx6wf]

The great final stand. The Blackwings final battle I forgot next line.

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

It's an MST. Any day now Gavin is going to come in with some degenerate stun deck. You gotta be ready.

[@RealKingChief]

The Dark Illusion was released in August 2016. This set introduced the Metalfoes, Paleozoics, SPYRAL, and Subterror archetypes. Notable cards in this set include: Blackwing - Gofu the Vague Shadow, Fairy Tail - Snow, Cosmic Cyclone, Floodgate Trap Hole, and, a card that would push decks to their limits if they wanted to draw two, Pot of Desires. In this series both Nyhmnim and myself will be opening 24 booster packs or one box of a core Yu-Gi-Oh! booster set. We will build a deck and play a best two out of three and the winner will receive a small price to upgrade their deck. However, in each episode we will open another box of the next set that was released, moving in chronological order, constantly upgrading our decks before dueling each other at the end of each episode. This is the Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Series.
