The History of Yu-Gi-Oh! Jank! #56

[@mekklord]

Joseph's crucial mistake here was that he didn't throw the pieces of Exodia into the ocean.

I can’t believe Cimo drew the Gemini Imps to out morphing jar for his final draw spell and then proceed to win with the last spell before final countdown resolves, and in the same match too. Truely an anime moment

Cimoo, literally every other jank episode: "Joseph, how the fuck did you talk me into this?"

[@mb778_]

the other half of them is joseph asking cimo the exact same question

[@Rynjinivar]

And it makes the least sense in matchups like this where he gets "talked into" facing off against a deck that has almost literally no wincon against his own deck lol. Being in the Jank Tank for so long has rotted his brain.

[@davidENGaged]

Yu Cimooootooooo

[@gogogadgetrectalpunch]

That Morphing Jar in game 1 was the real Final Countdown, but little did MBT know that Cimooo had already drawn 4 Exodia pieces by the 2nd turn with 2 drawing powered cards in the chamber ready to fire.

[@mythplatypuspwned]

22:35 Sangan, attack the Final Countdown to negate it! 😂

[@PhoenixTheImmortal]

These duels were incredible, absolute treat to watch!

[@netcat22]

This is it, this is the peak, nothing will surpass this episode.

[@aasgier9091]

Those duels were crazy! Both of them in their own way really show Cimo's protagonist powers. As for the question at the end of the second duel; you *always* Reckless first. It is much more obvious if you repeat this experiment with 6 cards (with one last piece of Exodia hiding in there), and you have Reckless Greed and Pot of Duality but it applies to any number of deck size, though the difference becomes smaller the more cards you add. If you Reckless Greed first, you get to draw 2 cards and then you see 3 out of 4 remaining cards (giving you a 5 out of 6 chance to find the last piece of Exodia), or ~83%. But if you pot of Duality first, you see 3 out of 6 cards, and then draw 2, which reduces your odds to just over 50% (though I'm bad enough at maths to be unable to figure out the exact number quickly. All I know is that it doesn't come close to 83%, and that's good enough for me. It's a principle similar to the Monty Hall problem, and knowing how to resolve that also helps here.

[@ileee1]

this episode should be the best of the year as a whole...

[@alexander.tahtadjian]

15:30-16:04 and 25:00-26:15 "EXODIA...OBLITERATE" The Forbidden One has brought Cimo to victory once again. This has now become one of my favourite History of Jank episodes. It was nice to see the legend himself make an appearance once more.

[@akechiv1855]

15:45 - 15:47 You can see Joseph’s life leave his eyes oh my god. That is so perfect. I’d be sooooo tilted LOL.

[@brycemiller831]

As someone who played during the time, I actually remember seeing BOTH of these deck profiles. - The final countdown deck I believe was at YCS Long Beach, the 100th YCS. The player was so confident in his deck winning, that the sideboard plan was specifically to be ahead in time in game 2 or 3 if it was taking long. The Exodia deck on the other hand was from an Ex-Yugituber, Prowinston who got top 8 at Worlds, using exodia as an anti insektor list like Joseph mentioned for the FC deck.

[@morphogames]

Alex just became Yugi moto, there's no other explanation

[@religiousjedi]

On the last turn of Final Countdown... "Draw your last pathetic card so I can end this, Alex!" "My jank deck has no pathetic, Joseph! But it does contain...the unstoppable Exodia!" "AHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

[@adav838]

This is the second time I see Cimo draw all the pieces of Exodia and it's just as hype as the first time!

[@9raff]

I think this has to be the best episode of the whole Cimo Cinematic Universe. Alex is the king of games with those insane draws.

[@TheIceCreamHadMelted]

I love how all of MBTs luck went into drawing a playset of "Upstart Goblin" with "Pot of Duality" which was like a 0.00103% chance.

[@franksolmer8125]

I love how jank isn't just about the rickety-bridge deck builds and strategies, but about the silly moments that can happen. Obviously cimo's Exodia wins here were the biggest moments, but we can't forget the ambrosia-level jank of Joseph drawing all 3 copies of Upstart Goblin off of PoD, which SPECIFICALLY screwed his intended Hope for Escape play afterwards.

[@SoundFantasy]

What exactly are the odds of drawing three upstart with a duality? That was pretty nuts. This episode was awesome.

[@roblaquiere8220]

He had 18 cards when he fired it, so 1/18 * 1/17 * 1/16 is the odds of drawing the 3 upstarts. Therefore his chances of doing that were 0.02%. or two hundredths of a percent.

[@SoundFantasy]

@@roblaquiere8220 wew

[@conker1847]

@@roblaquiere8220 It doesn't matter which upstart he draws first/second so its more actually 3/18 * 2/17 * 1/16, so more like .12%, still very unlikely.

[@Toolez]

This was a really fun episode. One suggestion I would have is for "one deck" formats that make jank decks like exodia and countdown possible it would be cool to see the jank vs the meta they are countering. Exodia vs inzektor at world's was actually a really interesting match up with unique positions that you wouldn't see in any other duel. Seeing solemn judgment used to negate an upstart goblin because of hope for escape would have been nuts.

[@aidanklobuchar1798]

Hard drawing the final piece of Exodia at the last possible moment twice in a row is fucking insane. Dude really is Yugi Moto. He should just roll up to the next YCS with some busted ass Exodia deck and trust in his protag powers.

[@clarosk2518]

Spectacular duels! Exodia strikes again! Got to wonder how the Exodia segments from both Exodia episodes from History of Jank will be arranged in the compilation, maybe as a finisher similar to how the Kalut montage was done in Progression? In fact, that might be even more feasible if, though very improbable, Cimooo somehow gets to use Exodia again near the end of the year and his insane protagonist powers continue to dominate!

[@mystikx2205]

To answer Cimo's query: Yes, Pyro Clock of Destiny does fast-forward the count for Final Countdown. It also causes a unique Draw scenario where, if Player A played FC, then Player B plays FC and PCoD, both FCs will be on the same turn count, and cause a Draw on Turn 20. Although it should be stated that Pyro Clock of Destiny is technically mistranslated, as the Japanese text says to advance the turn count for a single card, not the entire duel as a whole. Other cards that Pyro Clock of Destiny interacts with: Virus Traps - Fast-forwards the turn count for where the affected player reveals all drawn cards Doom Virus Dragon - See above Time Magic Hammer - Fast-forwards the turn count, and can keep monsters banished permanently if the turn count skips past the Nth turn Spell Gear - Fast-forwards the turn count for when you can Normal Summon again, including immediately if played the turn after Spell Gear was used Swords of Revealing Light/Nightmare's Steelcage/Big Evolution Pill - Fast-forwards the turn count for when it expires, including immediately if it becomes the 3rd turn Zone Eater/Swordsman from a Distant Land - Fast-forwards the turn count for when the monster inevitably explodes Cards that PCoD does NOT interact with: Gold Sarcophagus - It counts Standby Phases, not turns Future Fusion - See above Wave-Motion Cannon - See above
