Team APS talks about Domain Format! (They just don't know it)

[@alecfields1153]

Thanks for the reply! I've seen the name domain format running around a few times, but until now I didn't know what it was

[@yugiohcommander]

Yo Alec!! Thanks for taking a look! Hope you give a try with the guys sometime 😎

[@ratiuvictor9533]

It's the first time I heard about domain format and sounds interesting. I already texted my friends to watch more of your videos to learn more about this so whe could try it next time whe meet.

[@yugiohcommander]

You guys are in for a treat! I had to build a few extra decks and keep them on me at my local game store. But it made it so much easier to convince the people who were hanging out to give it a try.

[@safeandsound712]

Bro this format you made is so cool. I just got stuck on watching all your videos and thinking about what to play in the format. I love it. I hope the format grows and thrives. Great job. Thanks for supporting it and promoting it brother.

[@yugiohcommander]

😭 Thanks bro, comments like yours spark great joy! 💪😤 Edit: Just FYI, I didn't make the format. It was created by a discord user named JeebusCrisp! He's an awesome guy, I've met him. He played the Red Dragon Archfiend deck in my 5D's themed dual video!

[@beech5950]

We gotta get the word out, duelists!

[@MrFlackle]

Been building my first deck can't wait to jump into a game this weekend!

[@yugiohcommander]

Lesgoooo!! What Deckmaster did you pick? Or what archetype are you building around?

[@MrFlackle]

​@@yugiohcommandergoing a bit old school with cloudians luckily fairies have a lot of support over the years lol

[@yugiohcommander]

@@MrFlackle a man of culture, I see!

[@MrFlackle]

@@yugiohcommander will it be good? Idk but it'll be funny plus turbulence can go brrr but the deck restriction make you have to get real creative with the extra deck lol

[@tactix9843]

​@@MrFlacklesounds dope! Did you post it on ygoprodeck?

[@Vinylboii]

I wanna play this format really bad. I love MTG and Commander but I’ve always had a soft spot for Yugioh. I’m thinking a out builing a Dark World Domain Deck🔥

[@yugiohcommander]

Oh man, it would be quite easy to get one started! One structure, and some added personal favorites for the extra deck, finish off the Danger!'s package, add some banger spells/traps and you're good to go!

[@Vinylboii]

@@yugiohcommander exactly! I already own the structure deck which is why I want to do this. Which monster would be a good one to be the deckmaster? Thinking about Grapha or the fusion

[@yugiohcommander]

@@Vinylboii The grapha fusion is a great choice. Once you get the fusion spell, you always have it pretty much, so he's a recurring menace. I like Trance Archfiend too as a deckmaster. is a guaranteed discard and can fetch back banished stuff

[@Vinylboii]

@@yugiohcommander woah Trance Archfiend is great indeed. I hope I can find some people to play this with irl in my community 🙏🏼

[@tactix9843]

I play the grapha fusion! The new fusion spell let's you keep summoning it for the rest of the game. But trance archfiend, the fabled raven, and so many others are great options 😍

[@BanditGaming479]

I’ve been looking for a Singleton Yu-Gi-Oh format. Definitely going to give this a try.

[@yugiohcommander]

It's so much fun. If you try it with your friends, come by the discord and tell us about it!

[@eyesoftomorrow6647]

The commentary is a fun thing its nice to get your opinions

[@tactix9843]

Makes good points and it's nice to have someone in the game community that doesn't just tell people they are wrong.

[@eyesoftomorrow6647]

@@tactix9843 IKR super refreshing

[@ianthefifth7790]

I hope there's more arguments and discussions in big comment sections, because then more eyes will come in. I already built a little prototype deck with Archlord Kristya as my deck master, and added in Drytrons and BLS for fun after just finding out about this format last night.

[@Frogleeoh]

First time hearing about this. Sounds awesome! Still a bit skeptical about whether or not it'll work for me, but I am down to give it a try. I'm not so worried about the format being "broken" per se, at least not after hearing your arguments, but I'm still uncertain if I'd be able to have MY fun with it. With how far gone yugioh has become, there are so many things that are not considered "broken" by today's standards, but sap fun from the game anyways. That being said, when I get the chance, I'm gonna try to test the format by REVERSE breaking it, meaning I'm gonna build decks with cards/themes I like regardless of power level, and see how much fun I'm able to have against whatever I run across. One main issue tho, this type of format is clearly not supported on all the main dueling sims, at least not with more than 2 players (which would defeat your points about players ganging up), so I must ask, is there a good way to play this online? In person is sadly something I'm missing out on in TCGs these days.

[@ledrociam]

Just getting into Yu-Gi-Oh, coming from MTG this sounds like the perfect format for me, I just want a casual version. This sounds dope

[@yugiohcommander]

It’s so good! This is legit the most fun I’ve had playing Yugioh. Try and get some friends to make quick decks using some recent structure decks. Or join the domain discord and schedule to play online for free with Untap.in!

[@ledrociam]

@@yugiohcommander I went and bought 10 structure decks and sleeved them up as is. They're not great matchups as they're all from various points in the games history. So I think upgrading these too domain decks would be better

[@astralman]

This is an interesting topic I hadn't seen before, so this is fun. I just wanted to mention that while it's usually true that in commander you can't immediately kill a player in early turns, players can still punish them with removal and disruption to put them behind everyone else. To me, this seems like a benefit, since as the game progresses, they could recover and they could prove, within the same game, if they have learned their lesson. Otherwise, they will be a lot easier to deal with in the later game. I might check out some of your other videos.

[@JosephHacker-w6c]

Me and my friends have been playing with 4 or more in a group and it works really well only problem that come up are text that's say opponents vs opponent or opponent's

[@RatoRatito]

Omg I am in this great video! I am happier than that time when I kidnapped a chef, controlled him through his hair and ran a whole restaurant by myself!

[@kidmaverick5211]

Would love to see commentary on 1v1 domain

[@yugiohcommander]

It's really really rough lol. Honestly, I think a 1v1 variant would absolutely need a banned list. All the reasons Painful Choice is fine in a four player pod are all gone in 1v1.

[@k9commander]

​@@yugiohcommander Multiplayer tends to balance most broken cards. It can even strengthen some weak cards. It's one of the reasons I love playing commander.

[@Dogma7]

Hey 👋 wanted to say love the content lately

[@yugiohcommander]

Thanks! Long form content is actually some of my favorite. I listen to a lot of podcasts myself.

[@haruhisuzumiya6650]

Konami need to make a 3rd blue eyes white dragon like in Rush duels 😂

[@yugiohcommander]

KONAMI HIRE THIS PERSON 💯💯

[@tactix9843]

Spreads the gospel

[@haruhisuzumiya6650]

Yu-Gi-Oh Commander 😊

[@chrystiantodero47]

an structure deck + an speed duel deck = a domain deck ready to play. just saying

[@yugiohcommander]

Structure deck makes it so easy to throw in some cards and have a whole ass Domain deck!

[@Hatchet_Gaming]

Interesting. My client told me about Highlander format and said it was basically commander.

[@Gr1mPulse]

If I could build a machine deck and have cyber dragons be included? Fuuuuuudge me I guess I’d get cards to play for the third time in my life! ༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽

[@yugiohcommander]

cyber dragons are really fun in Domain!

[@Gr1mPulse]

@@yugiohcommander Thank you for the work you’re doing to get this format out there. I believe it’ll save yugioh for casual and competitive gamers alike! I will be passing this and the tutorial vid to my friends. Surely one will let me get some machines to form up a deck! ❤️

[@CorrinQuest]

How playable do you think Raika would be in this format?

[@yugiohcommander]

VERY. The Seed can just start all your plays and it mixes so well with whatever archetypes you like that are in the raika types. I would totally try it out!

[@BrandonLee365]

I feel like Domain format makes something like Maxx - C absurdly more powerful, what kind of banlist exists for it?

[@yugiohcommander]

There are no cards currently banned, and currently no cards banned as a deckmaster. I actually just got 3 maxx C myself!! In my opinion, it's way better in 1v1. This is something I need to make a video essay on, as it comes up a lot and I have a lot more to say about it than what I can fit in a comment lol

[@l3oogle]

Has Team APS made a video playing Domain yet?

[@yugiohcommander]

@@l3oogle Not yet! But they did talk about Domain Format in their last two episodes of their podcast, and have replied to Michael, the guy who runs the discord. So who knows!

[@TheWinterPhoenix]

First

[@RatoRatito]

Oh, you are that person that got top comment in APS' video talking about domain.

[@yourdagan]

It was going through my mind as I watched it. Nobody in the comments mentioned it. Seems like the good news is Domain has a mere publicity issue.

[@jeremiahriley663]

Literally not true. I saw a tone of comments mention domain format.

[@yugiohcommander]

I saw a whole bunch! I think Domain has come a long way from anecdotal experience. One regional I went to, I brought up Domain to some of the judges and two of them had already heard of it! I have no doubt that we will have a big break out at some point
