[@LnnyOsoTo]

I can't remember the last time we had this many illegal plays. -Glassjaw adding from deck, it adds from GY -Dreary Doll is a hard once per turn -Battlin' Boxer Spirits requires a mill as part of the effect (which mattered for the first game since Cimo drew a Headgear that should've been milled) -Giant Grinder is MP1 only but it was used MP2 And those are just the one's I noticed So these decks are EVEN MORE GODAWFUL than they seem

[@DanielMendoza-ny1hs]

27:05 mbt even calls it out the second time he tries to add with glassjaw. He knows how it works they just don't care lmao they really didn't want to play these games out.

[@IyoMaestro]

Mistakes made this episode: - Dreary Doll is a hard once per turn - Glassjaw adds from the GY and not the deck - Cimooo forgot to mill with Battling Boxer Spirits and that actually mattered - Giant Grinder can only activate during MP1 - MBT attacks after activating Soul Charge So in my opinion you should both wear the jank tank next episode ^^

Unfortunately, these episodes are filmed far in advance. By the time they read the comments, they'll be out of Dragon Rulers format

Ygopro devpro and DuelingNetwork were a thing back then. And all the jank that fromat brings.

[@YeGhostyToast]

Fun fact about gimmick puppet giant hunter. Before the cards came to North America they were on duelling network. The original translated name for giant hunter was “serial killer” and in some internet circles a nickname of chucky floated around. So there’s that.

[@foxfireinferno197]

It's not 'Leed' Yoke, it's 'Led' Yoke, as in Lead, the metal. The weight of the yoke slows it down, which is what reduces its attack power. When an attack breaks a chunk off, it gets lighter, the monster speeds up, and its attack goes up. it's the rough equivalent of the Dragonball/Naruto weighted training clothes bit.

[@StormCrownSr]

Didn't know. So you're saying on top of being a chad card, it's got sigma backstory?

[@haohryuz-arc2261]

I used to have the same standpoint until a while ago, but after I watched the Sub of Yugioh Zexal recently, my opinion changed a bit. The Japanese name for Lead Yoke is "Leadblow the Bound Barbarian", with the "lead" audibly being pronounced the same as in "to lead" instead of as in lead the metal. A possible read for that is that the monster makes the leading punch, possibly by attacking into a stronger monster in order to force its ATK boost effect which in turn makes it a stronger threat. Or because it as an archetypal boss monster would lead the others into battle. Whatever it is, its name is quite clearly pronounced the same as in "to lead". The TCG localizations besides English on the other hand fall under one of two categories: They either don't mention the "lead" part at all, like French and Portuguese (which use phrases like "enchained" or just mention the "yoke" as their individual monster name), or mention the "lead" part as well, in which case it's unambiguous that the metal lead is the meaning that's being referred to, due to these languages not having an ambiguity for that particular word (said languages being Spanish, Italian and German). The English version however is ambiguous due to the ambiguity of the word "lead" in this language. So considering both the Japanese version, which follows the "to lead" interpretation, as well as some of the other TCG localizations, which follow the "lead the metal" interpretation, I feel like it's best to view both versions as correct in context of the English localization. So whether you say 'Led Yoke' or 'Leed Yoke' doesn't really matter I feel - both have their validity, although I slightly prefer the metal interpretation due to it making more sense and having more support across different localizations overall. Claiming one to be the strictly correct version however doesn't really work in my opinion.

[@LazurBeemz]

@@haohryuz-arc2261 The Japanese version is 拘束蛮兵リードブロー, or "Lead Blow the Bound Barbarian". In Japanese boxing, a jab is sometimes called a "lead blow". (And yes, pronounced "Leed") This follows the pattern of all monsters being named after boxing terms - Switch-hitter, Glass jaw, counter-punch (Counterblow in JP), etc. The English translation seemingly ignored the "jab" part and only translated the concept of him being a slave-boxer "bound" by that metal yoke. That they both contain the word "Lead" may as well be a complete coincidence. However, monster names get changed all the time and we don't make a fuss. So we may as well follow their lead (hah) and pronounce it as intended - Led Yoke. (if they just changed it to Iron Yoke we wouldn't even have this confusion)

[@BlueEyesWhiteTHUG]

I looked up a clip of the show and they pronounced it "leed"

[@dorugoramon0518]

Dreary Doll has a hidden third effect that allows you to use its effect multiple times a turn at the cost of being able to read your cards.

[@shasan2393]

Turns out, when you use dreary doll like ronin toadin, it can actually be pretty good

[@JorgeLuiz487]

Always great to see mbt attacking under soul charge and cimo not paying the top mill cost for the battlin boxer spell

[@spyreofthewolves8125]

Dreary Doll once per turn. Spirits mills a card. Glassjaw returns from GY. Idk why I reacted so strongly to the misplays in this one but I was definitely yelling at my phone. Also I'm not even through game 1 so I'm sure there are going to be more.

@@thegoodoldays911 They could have been so much better. I was so excited hearing about new support, but was then so damn disappointed seeing them. Terror Baby and Bisque Doll look like they could have been from the earlier releases of GP their design is so beyond antiquated. Like, there is no excusing making Terror Baby only on NS and making Bisque's discard be GPs only. I don't know which designer or designers made them, but clearly the last cards they ever made were from Enemy of Justice. Gigantes Doll is indeed hilarious, if not for the fact that he was made during a Link-heavy era. Like, how many non-Links were even left on the field when he was released?

Did you enjoy their brief appearance on the Master Duel Solo Mode? They were one of the more memorable duels of the “The Legends of the Star Heroes” storyline.

[@pickyphysicsstudent201]

Game 2 at 27:23 you can't use Giant Grinder during Main Phase 2. It is only during Main Phase 1. Number 15 Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder. That last thing you'd want in your boss monster is a random stipulation which restricts the effect. But as it turns out that might be what you get.

[@arielgomes7989]

Well, the gimmick puppet list certainly isnt from druler spellbook format playing triple soul charge...

[@MiyaoMeow588]

Hope we get to revisit some of these decks at a later point, with additional cards that either directly or indirectly support their archetype.

[@bgammax5842]

A funny note about Argent Chaos Force is that its one of the few rank up magics that isn't restricted by type, attribute, or name. This allows you to use it to rank up one of the Gimmick Puppet XYZ into Coach Lord Ultimatrainer, which is the closest thing to an acceptable turn one Gimmick Puppets have until ACF gets banned

[@genm4827]

I was gonna comment on Cimo missing the mill off Battlin' Boxing Spirits, but I see everyone's already noted all the illegal plays.

[@irra8994]

The aDrive Cimooo collab; never thought I’d see it

[@Clear1]

One of the cards that the Gimmick Puppet deck missed is a heavier Cxyz engine to go into specifically CXyz Coach Lord Ultimatrainer. it is a heavy body at 3800 Atk, has target immunity, which is a rare trait to have in 2014. Also, his rank-up effect is not locked behind using the proper xyz rank-up, it is just locked behind any xyz, which means you can go Grinder, pop 2 idiots, rank-up and go to Ultimatrainer, immune to D-Prison, detach 1 to draw 1 to get back some hand advantage, and go right in.

[@adamata64]

As someone who played both of these decks religiously, I'm screaming at my monitor. Glassjaw adds from grave to hand, not deck to hand, it's not THAT good but still decent. Sparrer you can Special in Main Phase 2 after a BP because it just says "You Cannot Conduct Your Battle Phase for the rest of this turn." So he could've made another Lead Yoke. Joseph had an issue on space but could have equipped to Fortress to make room for Double Dreary Dolls in grave to make Strings. Giant Grinder is Main Phase 1 only Joesph you even said it in Game 1. How do you pop the Lead Yoke in Main Phase 2? Strings puts a counter on your monsters to, so it'd have a counter on it. I'm glad they acknowledge in Game 3 but man.
