Can You Beat Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards Without Monsters?

SPOILERS: The character growth of leaning how to spell FINAL at the end made the whole video worth it

[@RobinandZephyr]

On today's episode of Blue's Clues, we're learning how to spell Final

​@@RobinandZephyrthe fact the dude who commented didn't spell "learning" correctly is fantastic irony.

I love the abridged card descriptions on the screen, especially as they get more deranged as you go on

[@k_thirteen]

In case you were wondering why tribute summoning was almost never considered good, refer to 30:22 in this video for an example of one of the reasons

[@CarmsCelestia]

Fun fact: Since your loss condition was "A single monster card on your side of the field at any point", Exodia would've also been a valid win condition.

[@RobinandZephyr]

True though you are, the Exoida cards cost much more deck capacity, so I wouldn't have been able to use them out the gate, or as freely with all my other cards. Also, like I mean come on, that FEELS wrong, right? LOL

[@riftstrider5433]

@@RobinandZephyryes but as is normal for yugioh, the smaller amount of cards you run, the more consistent a deck is

[@RobinandZephyr]

@@riftstrider5433 Oh believe me, with my deck consisting of drawing into 5 SPECIFIC CARDS and stalling until I do, I wouldn't be running more than 40 cards even if this game LET me. Lmao

The first rule says "no using monster" and the last is "no monster in the deck"

"Following the destruction of Girl, Yugi actually starts to brick as he starts spending turns playing sweet F.A." I am now imagining Yugi playing F.As, and the mental image of this ancient pharaoh going fast to feel alive amuses me greatly.

"You.. you tried to SELL it?" "Well, he didn't actually know much it was worth-" "Oh thank Ra-" "So I just gave it to him." "Oh no."

[@nightwing179]

I was half expecting at the end for you to play one of the letters over another letter and playing a flip table video. That would have been hilarious.

If it makes you feel any better, I *totally* did that at least once early game LOL

This video ignites every ounce of nostalgia I have. I loved this game growing up and still do

[@Nayef1406]

I wish there would be another Game in this Style beside Reshef of Destruction. I remember, the german Translation of this Game was really weird. :D

[@comfyghost]

i'm not sure why, but even two years later "f i a beartrap n spells final" still creeps into my head every now and then. been doing it a lot more since i've recently been theory crafting a destiny board deck of my own in master duel, and it always makes me wanna come back and rewatch this video.

[@joshuamedina6807]

I wonder how and if this will work in the sequel can't wait to see what the Chef of Destruction can cook up

[@RobinandZephyr]

With the card inflation in that game? Not in this economy! Least not without cheating. LOL

[@cloudchaser8650]

This video has convinced me that this is the best yugioh channel on youtube

[@muffet1536]

Didnt excpect this but im enjoying this a lot

[@thomashowe1583]

The fact that the final boss made you change up your strategy almost entirely made this an epic to behold. Think I ended up using Kuriboh + stall spam to get the god cards out the second I got Obelisk, and was just tributing for high level stuff before that.

[@Savaris96]

Now do it in Reshef of Destruction

[@chrisk3824]

Ahhh... such a fun video. Your guys channel is sooo underrated. And after being her since first DeSu video, (which obviously stands for Devil Summoner), I think I can speak about your quality.

[@AnvilPro100]

This is actually hella impressive dude. I'm astonished this worked in a game like Sacred Cards

[@Tracker947]

Loved this game. Always remember being disappointed I couldn't use Ra at the end

[@KenanVonKaiser]

Its Joey!

[@eraser2412]

Awesome. I played this game alot and to see it beaten this way is incredible. Great video, and good choice of music. The final part of the Duel against Maric was on point ;)

[@hiurro]

The can you beat the game without monster challenge is even better now that someone figured out how to manipulate rng the entire game and the speedrun tactic is to literally win with destiny board first turn every single duel.

[@lightsidesoul]

Been waiting for a chance to tell this story, I was playing Legacy of the Duelist, and facing Bakura's Battle City deck. He had F, I, N and had just gotten A out at the end of my turn using the board's effect. I needed to hit him for more than I'd have in the in the last turn he needed to get the L out through the Destiny board's effect, so I thought I was done. I decided to let it play out instead of resetting so I could see the Destiny board animation, but instead of leaving a back row slot open, so he could use the effect that lets him get the card he needed to win with from his deck, he placed a spell or trap, I honestly can't remember, but he blocked the last piece from being able to come out, giving me enough time to end the duel. I know this isn't really the place for this, but your use of Destiny board just reminded me of that point so hard, I couldn't resist sharing a point of an AI messing the bed.

[@HjalleCalibursChannel]

This game was my first ygo game. I remember how confusing it was at first, but I loved it!

[@undercoverweeb]

If you ever do another one of these on a more modern game, would traps that become monsters like the Paleozoics break your rules? They are technically considered both traps and monsters in the monster zone.

[@k_thirteen]

Paleozoics are no longer treated as Traps when they're summoned to the field from the GY. Even ignoring that however his rules were nothing in the Main monster zone, meaning any Trap Monster is probably off the table

[@ikhwananimationsbeyondweeb4528]

Maybe the true Destiny Board was the friends we made along the way

[@mAceOfHearts]

This was a very welcome surprise!

[@lucestrasz2312]

Sacred cards, but you can only ever activate a card once? As in, you get a single use card before you toss it inThe metaphorical shredder?

[@RobinandZephyr]

That’s a cool idea!

[@DustD.Reaper]

[@RedDragonForce2]

I’m currently doing a run of this myself, and it’s been fun, if not stressful at times. I’ve only lost like five times. And I accidentally killed my win con and had to deck out Rex Raptor at the last minute. Funny enough, I have not used Spellbinding Circle or Shadow Spell, mainly because I forgot about them. But hey, I’ve been managing just fine drawing 30+ cards on average per duel, making each duel take… 5 minutes at a time.

[@RobinandZephyr]

That's the best part of these runs. You draw so much, and it's amazing LMAO

[@RedDragonForce2]

@@RobinandZephyr sad thing is… I’ve had to break it up into multiple sessions because of the tedious amount of time per duel. That plus life equals slow progression. I’m just now adding Swords of Revealing Light to my deck and about to duel Weevil’s crew. So yay, the cheater needs to be taught how to spell DEATH.

[@RedDragonForce2]

@@RobinandZephyr okay, I finished up and I learned something. Atem has Master of Dragon Soldier in his deck. I never knew that before this run. It’s his second best card! If he and Kaiba weren’t known for bricking in this game, I probably wouldn’t have even known he had it. I got him to the point of bricking so bad, he was discarding from his hand just to draw a card. I also lost to Strings and Marik the first time. Also, the option dual with the guy obsessed with Mai, I never paid attention to his deck and found out in this run he runs a straight Warrior deck with M-Warriors and the Battleguards! This was fun! I learned so much in this run!

[@hazelv.a.7976]

Never thought I'd see destiny board being used. Granted, it makes sense that it would only reasonably win in a video game. Also calling life point granting cards powerful is like calling paper bulletproof. It pains me hearing you say star instead of level.

[@idontwantahandlethough]

who cares

[@fluffsquad8658]

Funny thing about perfectly ultimate great moth, I had a very easy time with this game running an insect deck and got PUGM out a lot

[@StormerSage]

I wonder if the same thing is possible in Reshef. Destiny Board has 500 deck cost, and all the Spirit Messages have 999. Harpie's Feather Duster also runs rampant.

[@MasterQuestMaster]

Yoo ima watch this later today because if it’s yugioh video I have to auto watch

[@PapaBattles]

Very interesting video!!!! Loved it! Make more pretty peas!!

[@RedDragonForce2]

To be fair, there’s Restructer Revolution. However, its damage is dependent on your opponent’s hand and the max potential is 1000, but there’s no way you could max out that damage unless you open three of them in the first turn and you go first. It’s super unrealistic to even have that, so it changes nothing about burn being viable.

[@lauradrake1234]

Fun Fact Destiny Board is actually How The world Record Speedrun for this game is done its a little over 30 minutes

[@dudono1744]

That seems like an interesting challenge for every yugioh game. (Haha wave motion goes brrr in later games)

[@solidsnakeandgrayfox]

Im curious if the game had lightforce sword which may help against seeker.

[@Charagodslayer666]

Yes. You can. Depends on the deck

[@DraconisLeonidas]

Huh. I think I... HAD this game as a kid. I just didn't remember until seeing it right here. Prooooobably because I never got past the first duel. Yea, I was really bad at YGO. I'm not sure I actually knew how to play in the first place at that point. I only played for a little while when I was younger and never actually won a game. RIP.

@@RobinandZephyr still not as bad as Forbidden memories where the AI has a 36 card hand at all times and will always play a higher attack monster even if you play facedown. still i noticed your editor note around the time you asked that question but because the seeker bar has to obscure the bottom border of the player i didnt notice it at first until after commenting.

Have you played a lot of yugioh video games before? I was wondering which one you think is best, out of the ones that don't put a spin on it like Forbidden Memories.

[@cj4958]

If ra takes the use down to 1, why not just add a sparks to your deck and win that way?

[@RobinandZephyr]

Ra reduces the user's LP to 1 and makes the opponent take the same amount of damage. If you are at a Life Point disadvantage when Ra hits the field, it's a loss. I have never seen the opponent go for Ra's ability while THEY were at a Life Point disadvantage, so my assumption is that their AI is smart enough to realize that's not a smart move.

[@dragonman7856]

What does pot of greed do?

[@pokemonmanic3595]

Nobody knows

[@dehdesh]

What about Restructer Revolution?

[@RobinandZephyr]

Restructer Revolution would theoretically get us the burn we needed, as it could deal a max of 1000 damage. However, the AI in this game wants to play cards, so will almost always set traps or monsters if it can. And if it can’t, it’ll usually start discarding for more cards. As such, the odds that Restructer would actually deal the full 1000 damage is basically nil, aside of the first turn. Assumed to be 800 per use and added to our total, it would add 2400 damage, putting a burn strategy at 7950 LP’s worth of burn.

[@franknova987]

Huh, I have the cartridge around here, just need to see if I have a...my DS can't use gba games... crud....
