[@PKSparkxxDH]

MBT: "Let's talk about race." Me: "I've been WAITING for this discussion." (cracks knuckles)

[@ccarvalho99]

PK/MBT collab when?? 👀

[@yserareborn]

No joke more deck profiles should look like this,. It’s great to see actual effort in the profile and not just drawing out presenting a list to reach 8 min midroll.

[@wren5413]

Weirdly, the best deck profiles ive ever seen are done by King Scarlet, who’s most competitive deck until extremely recently was Gouki…. In 2022….. they are super high quality and indepth for literally no reason

[@SDREHXC]

I mean, most deck profiles are nobody youtubers chasing down their buddies or random topping players at events. I don’t think most people are *trying* to make a good deck profile. It’s just to show the list.

[@leakypeach6250]

​@@SDREHXCEh. I like both. I'm a Rikka player, so having Jess and TopTierGaming incorporate combo guides and explanations is incredibly helpful for someone learning the deck. Meanwhile, a more experienced player like myself can also just use the quicker decklist vids as inspiration for their own.

[@reservationatdorsias3215]

No, i want more “this cards in my deck because it’s ridiculous” spoken by mouth breathers.

[@flackenstien]

This. So many deck profiles are just a few minutes of unrelated bs.. and when they get to the profile they rush and just say like.. "3 of this cuz its broken" and next thing you know, they're asking you to like and subscribe for the 3rd time and the video is over.

[@258thHiGuy]

He said "Let's talk about race" and I nearly forgot he was talking about R-ACE

[@flackenstien]

He was talking about Gold PRIDE, obviously.

[@jacobryan9021]

Every deck profile for any game should be like this

[@Ragnarok540]

Definitely. In other deck profiles every card is described as insane and at least 7 cards are the best card of the deck.

[@TheDonJuan]

“Bryan and I had been… Drinking” LMAO

[@Nas0630]

This is hands down the best deck profile I have seen in YEARS! I would love to see more of these in the future even if they aren't specifically for a YCS.

[@Ragnarok540]

Remember when Amazing Defenders was released and people were cooking Libromancer Mikanko decks and complaining Purrely and Rescue ACE were so bad? Good times. It really feels like in this game anything can happen, just look at Unchained suddenly becoming the top deck.

[@LeafhopperV]

MBT himself even called Rescue Ace at that time bad iirc.

[@juangarciamako9026]

You're everywhere I open a yugioh video check comments and you're there ._.

[@aure0521]

@@LeafhopperV Because it was? It got busted support so it's meta now but it really wasn't good first release

[@gatocochino5594]

PEOPLE SAIS THAT BECAUSE THEY WERE AWFUL. PURRELY WITHOUT LYLY WAS UNPLAYABLE.

[@LeafhopperV]

@@aure0521 Didn't say he was wrong or right, just funny to see where it is now.

[@nickgiz377]

You can tell he is very passionate about this deck and I like that

[@Sparda51]

I feel like people are playing one impulse because the OCG is but the OCG has a completely different deck. We need impulse in the TCG to play through boards and summon things from deck when we get stopped. In OCG they have auradon which makes hydrant a 1 card double negate that will eat handtraps to either break boards,play through boards, protect boards like evenly imperm on turbulance, lighting storm etc. and have options that aren't so linear and make a floodgate in herald. Its just not the same deck.

[@JaneOCGmeta]

I feel like I have seen a lot of r-ace deck list with 3 impulse and main deck super poly lately in our OCG format these days. And probably OCG people already know auradon is too good that might get ban in upcoming banlist so now people are more leading toward playing more other extra link monster these days still the deck too good. Lmafo

[@qu4ckzz]

13:34 Hard agree with rescue being incredibly important - the games where i feel safe with this deck are the games where i have an activatable rescue waiting in my hand or in the backrow, the card is just so versatile from extending my plays to being a shark cannon against bystials, or stealing a boss monster or link fodder

[@jvandep]

I run 1 kaiju in the side which I can search with smallworld (prosp to expensive for me). Its amazing to have fire engine on board turn 0, tribute their bossmonster, triggereing fire engine and reviving said bossmonster with rescue.

[@Lily-iu9ms]

Really appreciate this format of deck profile, when people just show the list I have no idea how the deck is supposed to be played so this is really helpful

[@sgtcisco92]

Really enjoyed the video loved the formatting and i do hope you keep doing profiles like this i love hearing all the reasonings and how to you went into and explained a deck i knew nothing about until today

[@duelme1234]

Im normally not a regular viewer of mbt's content but I have to say he blew this deck profile out of the water. I watched some ocg videos (mostly cn) when I'm curious about their meta game and always found the 20min-30min worth of card choice, meta discussion, or banlist implications so much more informative than the "8-10min bye, if you want more info search another video" content here. Obviously being able to learn from strong players is a great benefit, but I feel like the format of deck profiles here is quite limiting. So I'm glad someone is at least trying to push for more informative content all wrapped up in a single place instead of forcing people to search 3 more different videos to get any missing information.

[@YeahTheDuckweed]

Recall mbt's mathmech primer. Man's a visionary

[@Trynottoblink]

@@YeahTheDuckweedoh yeah, that Mathmech primer is the gold standard for how all “How to play … deck” videos should be

[@YeahTheDuckweed]

@@Trynottoblink some of the archetype discords have kinda got it going on. Like the dinomorphia google docs Would be nice to see more for the remotely meta decks tho

[@liamjamse]

a big oversight that people tend to have is that RESCUE! can target your opponents grave too. think of it as a similar mudora ishizu card to shuffle back, but instead you take control of it which in alot of decks can mean disaster or potentially turn ending. i have won a few games like that after taking an opponents fallen of albaz, but i imagine this could work against purrely and even unchained too

[@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin]

Thank you, longer profiles like this are very helpful for actually understanding how a deck works.

[@maskedduelist1380]

Nadir slowly approaches mic... ..clears his throat.. ..stares deadpan into the camera... *BEeN SOldIER*

[@RoseZ7323]

Honestly MBT Simply great deck profile Having each card explained, your thoughts on them, feelings on ratios/other card inclusions, potential lines or counter play to various scenarios Precious deck profile ❤

[@scottsocia7828]

Seriously, awesome deck profile video. All other deck profile content creators should take note and use this as a guideline as to how make future ones. Hats off to you good sir.

[@aidancossin1524]

I can't wait for the ycs breakdown! It's my favorite part of any "mbt goes to a ycs"

[@JaneOCGmeta]

High respect to MBT! Thanks for ur effort and time to make in- depth explanation, and sharing overall experience to the community. Keep up great work and yes one day, we will root for you getting top in YCS! Much appreciated! From South Korea fan.

[@IkoroseShinsou]

Great profile! I’ve been playing rescue ace recently and your insights really help!

[@justinbaker4608]

When I got into playing yugioh the side deck was really intimidating and it is very nice to get an understanding of why choices were made and how you would have changed them going back

[@Venusora123]

Dude this is very good stuff. Really thorough and I learned a lot about how cards could be used, why they are good and their interactions with other decks. Keep up the good work

[@stayflyxx]

Man, I wish more deck profiles were like this. Very well detailed and has convinced me to run 3 Preventers. Can't wait for Age of Overlords where the deck becomes even more consistent!

[@Eli1Dont1Lie]

Can't wait to start seeing you get competitive success, super unique deck profile design, keep grinding man.

[@jameseyr]

This was an amazing take on the deck peofile format, stuff like this should be so much more prevalent in our sphere

[@leadanarchy]

Oh man, I loved this type of video. In depth trains if thought on why, what other people are deciding to put in their decks etc. Good video

[@nsiderultimaseth]

Joseph, I love this video. I hope you upload more profiles in the future.

[@kroffen7]

I’ve never read any of their cards and this was the best profile I’ve ever watched.

[@mariojordan9543]

I loved this deck profile, cant really complain. U will get better Joseph, as it is, congratd

[@justinbaker4608]

Very cool deck. Liked listening to the thought process a lot.

[@harrya9458]

More than just being a beautiful breakdown of his deck building, I found this video to be really entertaining because of the anecdotal touches Joseph includes. Things like his conversation with Brian from Crush Cards which made me laugh audibly just add to a video. Makes it feel more personal and heartfelt, like he had a journey with this deck

[@SlebenGates]

Hey man, I was there to say Hi to you in Cancun. I was playing Rescue-ACE as well, we played a couple rounds next to each other. I made Day 2 also, I was playing the Superheavy Infernoble Rescue-ACE built, it did great but fuck Floos. Nice having met you there, respect.

[@frankieyuen9363]

I know it’s not possible for every deck profile but I really love how detailed the high quality this deck profile is.

[@gavinkayson99]

I mean I know thus took you weeks to learn the ins and outs of but I'd love to see more in depth deck profiles or overviews on meta relevant decks because I learned a lot about just how the deck functions and what lines of play they have access to which as a newer currently more casual player i don't have access to without face to face experience testing against the deck

[@thatoneperson3113]

1:30 did he just say "anyway lets talk about race" and then touch his nose?

[@ItsReallyColdOutside]

On a more serious note, your run was stacked. Tons of top players and most people would have folded. Congrats on your progress

[@isidoreaerys8745]

I loved your mathmech primer. I’m hoping this is similar

[@idalwave]

this is the great deck profile ever. the quality of content is unreal

[@ic3dr4g0n5]

As someone whose only experience in competitive ygo is playing against guys who just copy toping decklists and can't do anything other than a few turn 1 combos and know nothing else about the deck, this has to be the best deck profile I've ever seen. I, someone whose knowledge of the current meta is just kash and purrely go brr, was able to keep up and actually understand the reasons for this and that because you aren't just saying "trust me guys, this card really helped against some really bad matchups". Really hope more people take this video as an example of how a deck profile is supposed to go.

[@timbusbee1483]

This has to be the best in-depth guide in any TCG.

[@animeknight99]

Great video 👍

[@narfd.8837]

Rescue! is legit one of the best cards of the deck, not only is it recovery, it's additional offense during the battle phase and if you have Hydrant you can also use it to disrupt your opponents GY, for example by reborning Bystial targets, Tearlaments monsters or their Kashtira Fenrir. Or reborn IP to hasten your link climb. It's flexible enough to play more than 1 if the format is very heavy on the GY.

[@sreeakhilpulipaka3976]

Some of my favorite content. As someone who doesn;t even know where to begin to understand competetive yugioh, this was really interesting!

[@StarfieldDisarray]

love to see eclipse in the main, what a cool card

[@alucardo9031]

The deck has potential, btw, no one cares about Ecuador events, but our last DUNE regional champion was playing Rescue-ACE and it went undefeated

[@ptgia1301]

As someone who brought Chimera to a local, I opened three games in a row with normal summon Gazelle so yeah it can brick pretty hard sometimes. Still gonna play it though.

[@arkadarkartist]

I hope to be able to go to the event the next time you come to mexico

[@SuperSayianWarrior]

Whats crazy is 3 guys at my locals who have gone to YCS events consistently play 2 HQ. They laugh when someone uses something like TT or Cosmic to get rid only for a second copy to come down and them targeting the 1st one along with whatever other ones are banished or in the GY. Its actually an underated card that in the long term actually allows the deck to grind a bit. But with this list, Prospy to 2 would be the only cut and thats hurting immediate consistency for long-term consistency

[@otterfire4712]

Could go to 2 on Preventer instead of Prosperity

[@TheIncinerator12]

insane quality

[@BucketsnG10ves]

19:28 i gotta agree with u on this one

[@bukithd]

Ghost Mourner is a great Crow replacement and the books take a back seat to Imperm I think. Play Zeroboros over accesscode for Unchained matchup.

[@zephyrrrr4813]

I think crow is a great HT this format. It's great into unchained and tear, solid into purely, r-ace branded and dragons. It's even okay into lab floor is it's only real bad natchup

[@loggi7605]

Awesome deck profile mbt, It really shows your investment in it.

[@FAI_CW]

well I guess today I learned Puzzlomino can pop cards on the field too lol

[@afellowhumanbeing9701]

[@viko1996viko]

Hi, How to defeat impulse noir? You just can't do anything and you can't kill noir? What is your opinion about small world in the main for more consistency? And ways to a Kaiju and go ash?

[@mercylessplayer]

Will there be a recap on the clips channel? Always loved those

[@aurabeast2468]

From this video and what you are saying, besides sounding like you woukd switch grave with anti spell frag, what would replave encore, iblee and eclipse with then since you were questioning them

[@MBTYuGiOh]

i would still play iblee. cant make any considerations about SB to be honest as it’ll depend on what’s playable this upcoming format

[@gomigomi4856]

Out of curiosity, is there a reason for no Fenrir in your decklist? I noticed you didn't mention it, but some R-Ace decks are still running it

[@MBTYuGiOh]

i actually had fenrir in here until a few days before the event. i think it competes for the nib slot, and there are enough nombos - impulse and the like - that occasionally make it not worth that said, it is an INCREDIBLY powerful card and should DEFINITELY be a consideration for one of the non-engine slots

[@harrygunter6805]

Scareclaw therion is my main right now

[@mattbaltimore7195]

MBT is now a legit RACE-ist player.....
