[@Cellyestial]

Read Sonic stun again, it negates an attack and summons any tuner, doesn't need T.G.'s, it's actually good

[@MrShukaku1991]

Especially with the assault mode engine. Summon the tuner, add the beast to pitch on your turn for assault mode activate, then res and syncro and you're cooking with gas.

[@JorgeLuiz487]

What if you were a trap card, then decided to become a monster, but god said "continuous spell"?

[@Betterthanyou26]

Theres a manga title in there

[@SeleneBox]

Thanks Trump e.e

[@pipes3490]

When your trap card that is a monster that was a trap card pop a card on the field

[@bobbywalker2980]

​@@SeleneBoxalso you're welcome for no more war ❤

[@Just_Jules_333]

#CONTINUE I need my weekly Hardleg video to drive to dnd to

[@LazinessInPerson]

Definitely #CONTINUE Masochist is all about the journey, and if we're missing critical pack openings and improvements it really diminishes the experience. Also transparency is cool. Not like I think you'd cheat, but it's nice to see all of it

[@Fireheart5]

Sonic stun summons ANY tuner from deck not just tg, 100% worth playing

[@briancross7443]

#continue i love watching the grind its awesome to see your pool improve each week

[@GeneralNickles]

Golden Apples is definitely worth playing. It stops you from being OTKed and gives you a big token. It's basically just Gorz at home.

[@remrad4315]

It gives you LP back too. It's VERY good

[@Goodday.2u]

10:51 his name is Yugi BOOOOOOYYY, it has the same character as the game name

[@PumpkinTyr]

These thumbnails are getting weirder, love it LOL

[@fight5422]

I for one, support statue of anguish pattern in its endeavors to transition a second time

[@MrWidget4nz]

#CONTINUE, but I would also continue to modify the rules to make it your own and also speed up the grind. The original Masochist challenge concept can be fun for someone who wants to try it out, but if you have bad luck on your pack rolls you can stall out in the same spot for a while and it can be rough to watch if you can't dedicate a ton of time to it between all of your other content plans. When I started mine I modified the pull rewards so that they get progressively better as you climb to higher ranks, and it's helped not only keep it fresh, but also opened up more strategies to build toward or switch between if just playing your 40 best cards gets stale. I know you previously mentioned increasing the rewards once you hit Plat, maybe expanding that further can help?

[@HardlegGaming]

Yeah, I have plans for increasing rewards on every tier. It's just that the gold reward was doing the exam and getting the packs from that, which ended up being insignificant, and I've been stuck in gold for 6 months at this point lol

[@MrWidget4nz]

@HardlegGaming as long as you're having fun, we're having fun watching it!

[@thisman5498]

@@HardlegGamingwhat if when you pull an ultra, you get to open the secret pack it unlocks, and if you pull a royal, you can open 5 or something like that.

[@teejayburger2136]

​@@thisman5498That would remove the entire point of the challenge. Imo you should only ever open legacy and master packs.

[@wesleygomes6093]

SONIC STUN IS REALY GOOD!

[@DuraluminBurner]

MASOCHIST UPLOAD!! Time for my strangely consistantly-timed 40-minute shit at work.

[@abeardthickerthanyours6416]

Boss gets a dollar, I get a dime. Thats why I poop on company time. 💩

[@yogsothoth915]

#CONTINUE We gotta see the whole thing. You cant cut us off from so much context now, we'll get abandonment issues

[@MiphonPhyphorGarash]

I really like the deck building and theorycrafting when you open the packs so if you do a time skip maybe do like some deck update sections talking about the new cards and how they are playing

[@silverstar6589]

35:55 AGAIN!? For context, during the gung show that was pulling for the D.D.D. Ladder Climb, Hardleg pulled the EXACT same Royal. Master Duel REALLY wants him to play Nordic.

[@gabrielwhite5814]

Best series on KZbin

[@TheNeoninja2215]

The text on anguish pattern at the beginning was just *Chef's kiss*

[@HardlegGaming]

lol I didn't even notice that part. Mr Metal is truly a master of his craft.

[@Amphidsf]

#continue I enjoy my Friday Masochist

[@lensban]

36:45 - Sonic Stun is actually good, i was rewatching today your Chaos Draft Video from 2023 where RJ used Sonic Stun for his Blue Eyes Combo, so it's funny to see the Card again :D

[@dan-ioangreu6561]

Best series so far

[@ave_maria323]

Faithful hour is amazing tbf, it also summons rituals or oppents extra decks they've put in the grave.

[@F0r3v3rT0m0rr0w]

my man has that music deep in his soul this episode!

[@holdengraham6945]

Anguish pattern, master of all elements, ascended first as trap, into a monster. When Gus needed him most he vanished into spellhood. Love the show hardleg ❤

[@mathewrichardson2962]

I like to see every single step. This is top tier entertainment.

[@rashadoglesby9674]

Please Do More Of These Challenge. I Really Love These Videos So I am Definitely All For The week straight Idea You Have

[@riotkitty]

The Golden Apples is a good pull when facing against decks that have a lot of bodies on board, it can definitely save you a turn

[@remrad4315]

Seeing Orbital Dragon was so cool. I pulled that back when I still did the challenge myself. #continue

[@phoenixvance6642]

These 1 off custom card jokes clocked this editor as the duel logs vod editor. Also, the "days without hardleg singing avenged sevenfold" counter has to be set back to 0

[@superdimentiobrolyX]

the golden apples is a pretty good way to live an extra turn if that makes the difference

[@Pan6100]

If you do a timeskip, I would like to see the pack openings and general outcomes and matchups as you've been progressing please!

[@Chaoticmuffins8780]

I wonder what our lv 1 pyro's are looking like

[@秋丱]

11:00 It's Yugi boy. He's pegasus.

[@xCorvus7x]

3:27 Z-Arc is the Yugioh Avatar, master of all monster card types (except Ritual and Link).

[@Nedyah74]

Keep it up hardleg< love the series

[@morecrafty247]

Great episode but disappointed that brain hazard wasn't edited in when Joe was singing

[@Yumil_fab]

Irrespective of what you choose to regarding timeskip or continue, best of luck out there now that the Fiendsmiths dropped. Gonna be a rough patch for a bit. Also nice avenged sevenfold reference at 28:13

[@laffodile1636]

22:24 it's funny how he missed the part of it can't be destroyed by battle

[@MattAnd]

Huh, I missed that. For one reason I thought it was just the generic hard OPT text… That may be worth Joe putting in a deck tbh

[@aaronkatinis7121]

Due to the Royal rule, and the new snake eyes secret pack. Does that mean you can open it since you pulled a snake eyes royal rare a couple episodes ago?

[@lordbackfisch1420]

Actually smiling universe can be a surprisingly strong card in a pendulum deck. Just activate it on your opponents turn and you gain lots of material for summons next turn or attack/shields as well

[@seanbon93]

silver fang plus raigeki goes crazy, i think you can get one in story mode

[@redphienix]

#stakeursoul I think a timeskip sounds fun tbh :) Getting a nice little rundown on what the deck has become, maybe some highlights if you think to mark those from the marathon to keep, mostly just with what you said on the slow down- a little jump might be fun

[@Kannerxd]

In terms of pyrite knight. He’s really for battle phase warrior decks like amazoness or war rock

[@TheElly750]

Doesnt Sonic Stun special summon a generic low level tuner or a T.G.?

[@vkorde278]

it does

[@ICHBinCOOLERalsJeman]

calls nordic stupid immediately opens 2 more

[@brettfettbeargaming]

Theres no prince like Horse Prince

[@TheFishOFWAR]

Ideally I would love a maso-marathon like a subathon but #stakeyoursoul is probably the better of the two options I think :)

[@magicalnewsmaneditsbumpers4374]

ORBITAL HYDRALANDER MENTIONEDDDDD

[@xatuyou8045]

Sonic Stun summons any tuner.

[@cototo]

Avacard was RIGHT THERE

[@Betterthanyou26]

What is that thumbnail dawg

[@janivirtanen5722]

A Big Man - The Big Man was a one of some people would play in Big Dudes back in 2016 but you didn't really need it if you played the Big Dude Big Muscle Gym field spell.

[@OberonKin]

The thumbnail is peak

[@HardlegGaming]

It got you to comment :)

[@petiteexplication6249]

With fiendsmiths coming i wouldnt even mind if u just opened a 10 pack for the hell of it lmao its gonna be hell for a masochist series these next days

[@magicalnewsmaneditsbumpers4374]

22:25 It's also just marshmellon! But man eater bug is better I think.

[@wario1226]

#Stakeursoul While i love the weekly installment, i think a heavy climb could help shake things up. Its been a long time since youve gotten any big power cards. A 2 week wait and a montage later, we could have an actual deck on our hands. Either way ill be happy, though.

[@Cool-rx2ry]

I think changing the rules as a whole will be better as we are very stagnant right now I think for every pack you can get another secret pack of the the card and if it's a royal get two instead of 1 as the decks have now direction

[@flakfaksplays2265]

#stakeursoul just do u hardleg I'll still be watching

[@newqwua1]

You don't mess with the Zohah

[@jerrypencyke8140]

I played golden apples so much in duel links

[@dynomgtansari3206]

A time skip would be crazy if you did it, but I love watching you and your commentary so whatever you choose I’ll be here for the ride. :)

[@silverwolf132]

I like seeing all of the duels in and pack opening. If you did do the grind for a month or sub a thon I’d hope the pacs and duels would still be in a video even if the videos was longer during that period it’s nice to watch/ listen to as I do other things like the story of lefty

[@Earthbound524]

I wasn't aware of this "Interdimensional Matter Forwarder" cards existence. I want to test this out now to see what cards work with it or not. If anyone has any suggestions lmk

[@MattAnd]

The rarity system in Master Duel confuses me sometimes. How on earth is Pyrite Knight an SR? Maybe in the Legacy packs, but not in the Master Packs! Possibly more surprising is when a genuinely good card like that Evilswarm, or the Sinful Spoils removal spell, is only an R

[@2445ace]

the vanilla srs are even more confusing like summoned skull ans cyber tech alligator

[@taild_fox7889]

Hopefully he re-reads sonic stun the t.g. card because that just gets him any tuner and it's a negate attack

[@MrMovieMaker116]

11:00 The characters also mean Yugi. So it's meant to be Yugi boy a la Pegasus.

[@ElZetaVerso]

Well, although I do love this weekly show. What ever makes you have more fun and confortable with the series is fine with me. :3

[@hirumaredx]

SHOW EVERYTHING

[@theotakuwolf8573]

I wouldn’t mind a #stakeyoursoul But only if you provide a highlight reel of any funny duels you have during the grind

[@koreannom]

If you want to grind I reckon you can upload an entire vlog unedited. I'd def watch that.

[@facethefacts8721]

3:25 Hypothetically if Master Peace was summoned using the Spell card turned, Monster card/trap card, would he gain uneffected by all 3?

[@yasharthpandey6317]

No, he's only unaffected by the same type of cards as the original card types used for his Tribute Summon. If you use a continuous trap that becomes a monster and is then made into a continuous Spell, Master Peace will only gain Trap immunity from that card.

[@chetjohnson6264]

I think a 24 hour thing would be sick. And it would be fun to see the recap of like the best cards you pull. So we could see you get like 100 good cards. Plus you don’t have to upload 100 dules.

[@afraid2losebalance303]

22:22 cannot be destroyed by battle BTW

[@leolllx]

#stakeursoul As long as the full vod is avalable and the important duels(and all the pulls) makes it in to an edited video, I would love to see you tryhard(leg) for a week. Maybe open the packs in sets instead of after every win to allow it to be edited into a video.

[@LordCrota]

Golden Apple is probably the best card you could have pulled from the Nordic pack 😂 is it good…probably not but you gotta play it for the memes. #CONTINUE

[@fredthomas7608]

#stakeyoursoul, the streams would go crazy hard too!

[@Lexadin]

#STAKEYOURSOUL Normally I'm all for the weekly grind, but I think it's nice to mix it up once in a while. Not too married to either idea tho.

[@koimijyar5161]

"Yu-Gi-Oh is like Chess "♟️ All the One card OTK -"haha hold my beer"

[@coltonhuff9764]

I also would like to see you dual stream on KZbin. You'd have alittle more work to do, and you could pay attention to multiple chats, but I feel as though you'd get more helpful people to benefit you further. I know you probably would make more with just the twitch thing, but overall I think it may be more beneficial. Maybe not but ik I'd show up when I could, and I'm sure others would as well. I had to do a second comment cause KZbin isn't letting me edit the first one

[@Honest_Mids_Masher]

Id prefer it to be in the form of highlights where whenever you win a duel and get a good card from a master pack it gets added in the video. #stakeursoul

[@FERD19930]

#CONTINUE

[@mikemekker2855]

I like to see the pack opening, deck progression, and exciting duels, if you want to skip everything else I'm down.

[@afraid2losebalance303]

I didnt get the joke of the thumbnail, i mean which monster that supposed to be ?

[@ZeeAurami]

#stakeursoul it'd be fun to see a more advanced build

[@Patty-Q]

#StakeYourSoul While I like having this as a weekly watch, I'd like to see how far you could really push it and don't mind missing a few duels.

[@Dexter_1309]

Greetings Joe, hope you're having a nice day. Thanks for the meal enhancer :D also #CONTINUE? >yes no

[@edge8066]

[@chaz8230]

I would support skipping but only boring duels.

[@HyperFlame64V1]

#StakeYourSoul

[@jackbradley6720]

In the duel vs snake eye why didn’t you summon Zohah and attack Ash? Would’ve slowed them down surely? Certainly would’ve stopped them getting flamberge the next turn
