Hey my son is the kid in the blue jacket with the mow hawk! He was so sad that you lost. Thank you for taking that picture with him after the match. You are a pretty outstanding guy.

[@ztofii]

Humble stuff. I felt for that kid when watching this video. Hes a true fan! Your son has been raised right mate

[@TrinityYGO]

Thanks for the shoutout, i appreciate it! You’re a great player with good thoughts and insights on Yubel - it’s great talking to you about the deck. I wish people would stop underestimating you so much! Also you did really well, if you keep grinding that Yubel deck and continue to do what you’re doing, you will be at worlds, im calling it Much love bro

[@benlarkin857]

So I've been out of the game for years (since 2017 approx) and don't know what anything does, BUT this video was still highly entertaining to watch because the feelings you had are the same in any format. Dice roll so important, especially in a card game with no mulligan, pressure to draw perfectly and set up an unbreakable board to win games 1 and 3. But as soon as that's broken you lose. This has always been the part of yugioh that put me off. Now that I play other card games instead, I have to say I prefer games where you win more gradually and have a chance to play the game. And where you don't autolose if you're going second.

[@AmadoSanzu]

Great video bro! It’s cool to see you compete. Gimmick puppets are awesome. I was so happy when I heard that there was support coming out for them. Happy to know they do well competitively too!

@@soulflame99 gimmick puppets had an FTK before? That’s news to me. Why did they make the new cards to FTK if you could already do it anyway?

[@soulflame99]

@@AmadoSanzu Because before it was stopped with a single interruption, you couldnt search the combo, and people are running 18 hand traps? The point im making is even before this super consistant non-interactive FTK they were still puppet locking you out of playing the game turn 1. GP players the type of people to praise VFD and mystic mine as peak gameplay, i dont understand it.

If you play Yubel/Fiendsmith or Snake-Eyes/Fiendsmith you are just FTK-ing your opponent. So, it is only fair and fitting to get FTK-ed by Gimmick Puppets.

@@YarnLalms711 I see where you're going with this and frankly I do agree with your point, but saying that one guy, doesn't matter what status they have, lost to one card and saying the card is good is kinda ridiculous.
