So I tried to climb the ladder with SCARECLAW

[@goldyloks156]

I’ve watched a half dozen of your climb series videos realized I wasn’t subbed. I’ve changed this. You earned it you beautiful soul

[@HardlegGaming]

Thanks! I appreciate it :D

[@garchompdude]

Hey! Vsauce! Scareclaw here

[@howaboutross]

Hey! Visas, Starfrost here

[@barrymchugh667]

This is underselling just how many Wayne's Hardleg pulled in that stream. It was quite crazy 😅

[@HazeEmry]

I watched the first stream and I think it was 2 in every 10 pack or something? Might as well be all the pulls cause I only remember the waynes (the rock johnson)

[@MrNova_404]

Loved that Herald of the Abyss on the Maxx C was totally the winning move there.

[@xer314]

2:18:01 watching your opp combo for an hour just to scoop to one twinsaw is peak yugioh experience

[@metalmariomega]

Scareclaw started out like a powercreep on Crusadia, but now has enough support with other Visas lore stuff to do some crazy shenanigians depending on what direction you choose to go. Kashtira and Mannadium both open tons of powerful plays now, and Vicious Astraloud makes for a nice backup plan in some cases.

[@Charley-ju6yg]

In general, scareclaw is an extremely versatile deck. Since all it needs for getting its basic tri-heart line going is any single scareclaw, it leaves a TON of space open for any engine or tech cards you might want to add. I've easily made a couple dozens different scareclaw decks since it came to master duel, obviously not all equally successful. It has absolutely become one of my favorite decks

[@Lagdarr]

2:53:00 See, clearly Maxx-C is a fair card! All you have to do is draw your Herald and you win! 😂

[@ttarzzxz3711]

I love the editor's note with how long the ghostrick angel of mischief ftk took where people have beaten speedrun categories faster than their turn took

[@KuroeNezumi]

TBF, at least we saw an alternate victory condition that wouldn't be possible under normal circumstances.

[@RockmanX47]

It is pretty neat seeing this deck have its moment of glory, especially thanks to Twinsaw just being the right card for the current metagame.

[@italianradio6148]

The pause after "But, that's just a theory" killed me. 🤣

[@RaggerBagger]

This was my favorite climb to watch live. Can't wait to see the edited version!

[@cloverthecatpizza7878]

I watched this entire thing, extremely entertaining the whole way through!

[@HazeEmry]

42:00 I forgot how funny this was lmao. Dude tried so hard to put up a front

[@Puchio189]

Dread it, run from it the claw arrives all the same. It's here!

[@safeandsound712]

Underrated and underappreciated fact, Joe is a great singer and an even better entertainer. You can really feel the performing arts talent from this guy. Much more than a duelist IMO.

[@liviousgameplay1755]

Scareclaw seems interesting to play against but I never got around to trying them out, so thanks for posting the climb!

[@cawrhy]

Duel 52 VS the Scareclaw mirror was insane... OTK'ing through a negate (which guaranteed them Maxx "C"), then an imperm, then another imperm, then NIBIRU... that was amazing.

[@GSchneeglockchen]

53:52 hearing that counter just go down the drain is so satisfying for some reason

[@Remnant-Star76]

6:13 Dude I thought I was the only one who makes that joke whenever I use Visas in a duel. Whether I add to hand or effects to summon him. I'm happy someone else is making that joke

[@FakeHeroFang]

Reichheart: "My dogs don't bite..." (Transforms into Tri-Heart) "But I do!" Duel 96 was put in specifically to trigger me. They searched Arachnocampa, they could have summoned it to protect their traps from Twinsaw but they chose death instead.

[@Lexadin]

All of the interaction in combination of not being clearly unfair made for a pretty hype and fun episode to watch. Looking forward to see what you can cook up next time.

[@ln1tohero698]

Hardleg, I wasn’t subscribed for the longest time despite watching a ton of these ladder climb videos. I finally noticed just now and remedied that, it’s well deserved. Good luck on your future climbs :)

[@magicianofd8434]

2:23:18 I'm sorry Joe, but it's illegal to activate merch plugs outside of the battle phase, so we're going to have to retroactively consider that match a loss.

[@zhappalove]

watched the whole thing, your videos are genuinely really entertaining

[@GodzillaFreak]

Your final build looks much better than your initial build, good job!

[@Patty-Q]

The Herald call was hilarious. Also, hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

[@HardlegGaming]

I did, thanks! Hope your Thanksgiving was pleasant as well :)

[@Patty-Q]

@@HardlegGaming my was great, thanks!

[@Pandreo-ce1ru]

Great video! As a Scareclaw player myself I would say that Adventurer (with a small Magician's Soul Engine) still is the better version of the deck but the Kashtira strat is also good!

[@lemlem35]

27:32 genuinely didn't see this coming and I actually chuckled out loud when you called them Arbys gift cards

[@gamergamer6921]

dang i had to CLAW though my feed for this

[@willparrish3218]

In duel 36 couldnt you have went scarekash straight into ariseheart on your first turn because they used shangri-ira to special summon unicorn. Ariseheart doesnt say YOUR ira so you can use its effect if your oponent summons a monster from the deck with theirs at the beginning of your turn.

[@silverstar6589]

And I was just building this deck and pulled 3 Straddles when I already had 3 of them. Also, I was honored to play on the testing, despite my massive misplay. To be fair though, I was extremely nervous.

[@UnsmartDonald]

My favorite time of the month is when the ladder climb videos come out 😁

[@alaadawood5876]

2:18:01 one of the most satisfying duels I've ever watched 😂

[@darkhydrat9096]

Can't tell what I love more, the concept of this deck or Joe's shirts

[@HardlegGaming]

:D

[@__-be1gk]

Scareclaw is the Swordsoul of Vsauce

[@FlameEcho]

LMAO charmer pack wayne. Edit: Nice climb it is funny how many games were decided on the back of .. archetypal Icarus Attack. Reminds me of when I started in Master Duel and mained a 40 card Shiranui Zombie deck, a surprising number of games they would stop my normal summon, but I would set Shiranui Swallow Slash and pray and often still clear spright.

[@GiafyViews]

I love how the man himself couldn't even keep composure in the intro

[@Charley-ju6yg]

btw just for anyone curious or thinking of building the deck IRL, triple tactics thrust makes up like 70-80% of the IRL cost, scareclaw is absolutely *dirt cheap* to make

[@sangramos]

The KD ratio at the end was so satisfying

[@MetaKaios]

1:46:46 Bruh. Zaborg is the only one that is not level 6. 2:38:45 Uh. Is D/D Ghost a cat?

[@HardlegGaming]

Yes, it's supposed to be Schrodinger's Cat, in a state of potential life or death!

[@starbomber]

That first line almost broke him lol Edit: Also, i feel like that Fur Hire Runic Spright player could have outed that if they played thejr cards in a different order, but he didnt know a out D-barrier so i guess there's that.

[@luigifan4585]

That's what happens when you have to deal with two oppressive floodgates on board(one being unknown)

[@SergeantFrog]

duel 36 was absolutely insane, that reaction at the end was very well deserved

[@xCorvus7x]

2:59:35 Isn't this 100 off? The piercing damage is only 1900 plus 3000 twice makes 7900. By the way, Heavy Borger has the same amount of defence as Caesar Varius.

[@CaptainBatmanAmerica]

I love playing Kash, but I understand why people hate it. Duel 36 was super satisfying to watch!

[@a.mackey3499]

I was not at all expecting this deck to be able to consistently play through UDF + 2 Noirs. Great job!

[@KuroeNezumi]

Consistently? He does it more than once?

[@a.mackey3499]

@@KuroeNezumi I believe he did so at least twice

[@DDDzombie]

Scareclaw is the lesser known wolverine mvc2 special move

[@ghotyolocanisyn2880]

47:00 vanquish soul “might” have a chance at being good. Troll face smirk Yeah, theyre tier 1 lol.

[@RayD-TCG]

Heralding the opponent's Maxx C was the best thing on Master Duel I've ever seen 😂

[@ghotyolocanisyn2880]

If you’re going blind 2nd, i dont agree with instantly clicking go 2nd. Wait 4 seconds and then click it, they will think you were afk and it just RNG’d over to them going 1st. Otherwise clicking it straight away gives them the knowledge “hes using a deck that wants to go 2nd, good to know”

[@HardlegGaming]

Oooo The Mind Games

[@koito3929]

I realized I've been watching these without being subscribed. Hope my crimes can be forgiven, after liking and subscribing.

[@HardlegGaming]

"Hey Visas! Starfrost here. Your deck is perfectly safe... _but what if it wasn't?_ "

Good job! If he had appeared more, it ould have been fun to have a Visas counter on the screen.

[@ryuhayabusa6651]

Im surprised too. But in fact, you joe, have become a better duelist. That is also part of it.

[@HardlegGaming]

:D

[@mrsidescrape2311]

No one escapes Wayne

[@xanglatervang4696]

So the reason why the com is so hot every time the game gets booted up is it because you cards are inside the AE86 shuffler?

[@mikemosc3254]

@HardLegGaming, 36:27 the answer here was wrong because of true dracos. which can tribute summon using spells and traps.

[@nathanielsood1059]

Yeaaa, I dueled you and saw the username and thought, I don't wanna bust his ra spheres, so I won't instantly max C, then I saw you playing kashtira.... annnnnnd had no mercy about summoning my red supernova dragon. I appreciate the quit out

[@HardlegGaming]

When was this? I don't remember facing a red supernova dragon

[@nathanielsood1059]

Scareclaw beating out Generaider is a surprise and a half. That's another successful run in just 2 months which is a hell of an accomplishment.

How did I just find your channel. Seen you on the libromancer video first cause I myself have recently tried to make the deck work. Lets say your video was almost a perfect representation of the deck lol. Subscribed hoping to watch some of your new stuff soon.

Scareclaw great deck, still can do its thing vs the meta. While watching this I was thinking how AG might become a better OTK deck If they got support but who knows.

[@HazeEmry]

So...

[@vampireguy92]

@HazeEmry AG got support and has become a better OTK deck than it was before. Would you agree?

[@HazeEmry]

@@vampireguy92 I'd agree, but honestly, I don't have the experience with AG before nor after the support to say that. Heard good things though and the Hardleg's ladder climb on it was fun

[@jimbus1001]

Awwww it's out let's go watch a leg climb a ladder

[@Ragnarok540]

Not gonna lie, I don't find Scareclaw particularly interesting, the combo is quite linear and it just doesn't look very satisfying to me. HOWEVER, since a good number of these cards are also used in Mannadium I really hope he gets to play that deck at when it gets all the support, it is the complete opposite, it can play through Ash Blossom and even Nibiru and still end in a decent board.
