[@garfrockbreadtroll]

Farfa hates earth machine so much he knows the lines better than actual earth machine players lol

[@drbigglesworth]

>destroy an opponent's card by battle >opponent goes plus 4

[@tcoren1]

MFW the deck all about destruction enjoys getting its cards destroyed

[@jvdach4652]

​@tcoren1 Unchained vs Fire King could be a nice match up too.

[@tcoren1]

@@jvdach4652 probably. Heard it was unchained favored but unsure (I think it was pre-PHNI too). Unchained can float for longer with like 7 HOPTs and can link off the fire kings in engine, FK is generally stronger and more consistent, and it's non destruction outs are goddess, flamberge, dingirsu, SP, plus arvata to negate floats. All really accessible but not as much as the unchained linkers

[@absolutionveil8632]

That FK mirror really gave of Tear mirror vibes. Just a never ending back and forth where application of deck knowledge and personal skill really determines the winner

[@quado7681]

Just had a mirror match at locals days ago It really comes down to who has access to Arvata first

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

Yeah, and it's mainly the lack of the Ishizu cards that's the only thing making it "weaker". The worst thing about Tearlaments since the shufflers were added has always been dealing with the shufflers.

[@AshBlossomWorshiper]

4:45 YA KNOW WHAT WOULDA HELPED THERE!? AN IMPERM!

[@webe9008]

yeah i know... i mean there is like this card that's big, can't be destroyed by battle an is unaffected by monster effects. if only there was some kind of none monster negation allowing us to use sp's removal so we could lethal... I guess button was yellow, he had no choice. What was he gonna do ? not use imperm with no follow up and wait to actually have plays ? NAAAAAAAAAAAAH, blind that shit !!!!

[@mickjaegar2379]

Vaalmonica is coming close to taking over earth machines for the title of "deck that yugitubers relentlessly shit on for no reason"

[@arcy6945]

Masquerena linking by itself looks so funny lmao

[@martinl.7758]

To my defense as the Fire King player from the Mirror that isnt Regi. I literally forgot to put bonfires and diabellstar out of the deck. i literally had no targets and didnt use them hahaha

[@charlesfort6602]

Lol

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

That FK mirror was literally BOOM turbo.

[@tcoren1]

Dingirsu is how you usually end the fire king mirrors. Sends, stops destruction, etc. zeus is also very good for similar reasons, as is flamberge

[@garfrockbreadtroll]

Bruh they gave the engage alt art a diffirent animation

[@BezimiennyMarcel]

The level of glazing Sky Striker players enjoy is insane

[@olaadim7556]

That fire king mirror reminded me of the good old tiarament times, thank you!

[@DevastatingWarrior]

One brew of Vaalmonica I've had a lot of fun with is Nemleria Vaalmonica. And yes, it does sound like it has anti-synergy, cause Nemleria locks you out of the extra deck, but the angel scale lets you quick link summon on your opponents turn if they attack. I even managed to almost outgrind Fire King Snake Eyes with multiple misplays.

[@jasonmaiorano148]

So what's the list?

[@DevastatingWarrior]

@@jasonmaiorano148 3x all three scales, 3x Selettrice, 3x Vaalmonica Scelta, 3x Vaalmonica field spell, 3x Nemleria Dream Devourer - Reveil, 3x both Vaalmonica Links, 2x Sweet Dreams Nemleria, 2x Vaalmonica Versare, 2x Vaalmonica Disarmonia, 1x Vaalmonica Intonare, 1x Vaalmonica Invitare, 1x Vaalmonica Chosen Melody, 1x Vaalmonica Followed Rhythm, 1x Nemleria Dream Defender - Oreiller, 1x Nemleria Dream Defender - Couette, 1x Dream Tower of Princess Nemleria, 1x Nemleria Repeter, 1x Nemleria Louve, 2x Called By, 1x Ash Blossom and 1x Maxx C. The rest of the ED is just good generic rank 4's and I:P, S:P and Knightmare Unicorn until you get to 15. It can probably be improved on, but it works pretty well to my experience.

[@DevastatingWarrior]

@@jasonmaiorano148 I tried posting a link to a screenshot of the list and type out the list in a comment, both seems to have gotten removed by youtube or something.

[@strangevol5264]

@@DevastatingWarriorjust type it out

[@jwxu81688]

unironically the 2nd Vaalmonica duel was cool, was actually able to learn some tech I could use in the future

[@bolobre4th]

Ulcanix raises the ceiling for pure fire kings to heaven, deck is really fun to play and creates very interactive games

[@k-dawgHI]

At first I was a little confused seeing Valmonica. I thought “I mean the deck got top 32 at Dutch nationals so mid is a bit of a stretch.” Then I saw Farfa’s Italian comment and everything made sense.

[@shirohiruka]

I mean, the deck is mid af. Dutch nats isn't that big either and people just tired playing SE. Getting 1 top isn't saying much about that deck, the deck still bad

[@jasonmaiorano148]

But the deck also got another top 32 and a top 16 ​@@shirohiruka

[@ThePokemap]

Didn’t vaalmonica top the Argentina nationals ?

[@mohamedesssam6631]

Yes it did

[@PlayDANMAKU]

Yes, it got top 16

[@Dusk471]

Fenrir with vaalmonica engine yeah

[@EternalTruth18]

The deck is honestly really competent post fiendsmith tbh, but damn this deck is rough rn

[@ThePokemap]

@@EternalTruth18 the new stuff coming out also helps beatric will be banned before fied smith stuff comes out I hope plus all of it will be secret in TCG

[@JaceOKami]

The Fire King mirror was actually really enjoyable to watch. Mr. Torgue was onto something.

[@timaeus22222]

YEP, that's how I remember Fire King mirrors were for me in Duel Links. We didn't even have D.D. Crow back then. The mirrors ended because you could steal lethal at 4000 LP by negating OG Garunix with Arvata before they could crash their Arvata and revive Garunix and re-destroy it.

[@naruka6834]

that first vaalmonica play is a disgrace , they would been better off just play Pure vaalmonica with a few outsider card that help getting counter, it easy.

[@Eis_Cold]

Yeah I was confused as hell when I saw it. They didn't even try to do the thing Vaalmonica is supposed to do and get the counters to be able to summon the link-1's. Also not a bagooska in sight!

[@naruka6834]

@@Eis_Cold zebufera on field with Followed Rhythm in the GY would ruin that pendulum deck. they also wouldn't lost their Spell and pend scale cause zebufera can trade 3 counter to protect everything from destruction.

[@FrostReave]

I wish Konami would stop printing decks that punish interaction. Mirrorjade, Tearlaments, Unchained, Flameberge, Horus, and now fireking.

[@SilverHyozanryu]

The thought of trying to keep track of that fire king mirror in paper would make my head numb.

[@michel0dy]

Snake eye-less Fire King is so funny stuff just KEEPS HAPPENING

[@tcoren1]

Playing fire kings I once summoned 5 times during my own standby phase then normalled arvata as first main phase action to play around nibiru, it was very funny

[@IC-23]

oh my god Selettrice has an animation! Time to build my cope Vaalmonica ABC AFD deck

[@L1nk2002]

Love Farfa pronouncing Selettrice in 4 different ways and they were all wrong lol

[@UziOmega]

Earth Machine, the Chad deck 😎

[@JMarsella9]

That earth machine striker list was based

[@thenickrider02]

just topped my locals with it today

[@DaShikuXI]

Boy these people did not put the pen in pendulum.

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

Watching Kaina carry Earth Machine never stops being hilarious.

[@mattbaltimore7195]

Fire Kangs doin' it's own thing during the Standby phase is just lit.........

[@pieoverlord]

Turns out this game is still pretty fun when certain decks aren't around.

[@youtubeenjoyer7279]

garunix + nepthys loop is nuts that FK mirror is nuts the one who pop most will likely win

[@EpicNinjaShiro]

I kind of want a live action recreation of that fire king mirror standby phase.

[@jasminelee1909]

God the Fire King mirror was PEAK

[@KikiCatMeow]

That FK game made me wanna get the deck irl 😭

[@Kumo-s6f]

Pure FK mirror is just a race to follow LTG's wise council between two complete psychopaths. Absolutely beautiful, and another reason SE is a blight on the earth.

[@kenthartig7065]

Kaina in earth machine is insane. I've gotta see that list, lol

[@moonjelly5]

There is a player at locals who plays Vaalmonica. I faced him with my cope Mannadium deck (with Chaos Angel subbing in for Baronne). He couldn't bypass my many stopping points game one. Game 2 turned into a stall where the deck proceeded to do things, but slowly and taking its massive time. I was disadvantaged but realized that there was no reason to surrender because the game would stall out and I would at worst end the round in a tie. I would winning in that game in time when the self burn damage he took put his lp lower than mine in. My synopsis, is the deck can do things, but not quickly and needs the opponent to not do a lot.

[@shaser3684]

I highly disagree. At my locals, pure Vaalmonica has a nasty win rate. It must be a ratio thing, really.

[@jasonmaiorano148]

Game 1 it depends what you had,too many interruption could win against every deck,game 2 it depends of what he could accomplish

[@moonjelly5]

@@shaser3684 It probably is. He is a solid but not exceptional player. I was also allowed to go off without interruption game 1 is not good for my opponent. I can believe the deck could be good.

[@moonjelly5]

@@jasonmaiorano148 It was definetly too many interruptions in game 1. That is what my deck relies on. Game 2 was just a bit too grindy and Chaos Angel with both effects can be a lot to deal with.

[@moonjelly5]

@@shaser3684 I'd be really curious to see what the deck looks like in the hands of a great player. The best players at my locals are on Branded, Kashtira-Snake Eyes, Rescue-Ace Snake Eyes, Yubel, Voiceless Voice, Pure Kash, and Floodgates plus another engine (Horus, Zoodiac, or Runick).

[@layachaz7318]

Fire King without Snake Eyes is actually fun

[@fatrobin72]

Fire king mirror is quite explosive.

[@williampeete2473]

Like 12 second in how are they using Ogre on an on summon effect to add?

[@uuh4yj43]

actual fun decks and duels whoaaa

[@uuh4yj43]

the fire king mirror match went crazyyy

[@geiseric222]

Not really? Like there was some good ones but most played out like any other game with a meta deck

[@Ragnarok540]

Remember that to get usable footage Farfa has to ban Maxx C in the duel room.

[@supervegito8340]

Biggest thing vaalmonica has for it is 99% of the cards are a soft OPT. It’s literally just the main deck non pendulum

[@DoctorAJSOB]

I don’t see it in the comments, but the reason Z-Arc didn’t have an effect is because Zarc was negated because he didn’t use the Odd eyes pendulum dragon to banish off the trap, but used the lightwurm. So there wasn’t a “pendulum dragon” name in the banished zone

[@KirikoOnly]

I’m still just waiting for the day they make more fox cards/a fox archetype that works- my name translates to “foxy” and i would die for something actually usable Currently every fox card has zero synergy and are terrible cards

[@marshalkagami]

I thought they were Italian too icl.

[@Concobhar]

Farfa should play Earth machines for next video.

[@deathpyre42]

So for the next one, how about Allure Queens?

[@JohnCena-iq3tg]

Why did they make odd eyes arc ray useless 😭.

[@kevinalbarn120]

SP for days

[@ThiloNorris]

I played against valmonica and lost to Bagooska ._.

[@satekoi]

Vaalmonica is Bagooska deck.

[@bagigian7549]

Today I faced Valmonica for the first time, I bricked, I fought the handtrap war for 6 turns and lost. Now I hate the deck with all my passion

[@Ragnarok540]

I also faced Vaalmonica for the first time today, and all it did was to end in bagooska. I won in the second turn with my gishki spright deck (2 Jet makes the difference).

[@setsuna-ch.]

i miss played so hard

[@vaylantz_enjoyer]

Speaking of mid, when is the next Burning Abyss video?

[@OlgaZuccati]

just saying but Angelo and Angela and all variations are from latin/italian from angel. i know it's shocking, but it's the truth.

Yeah you can. You can’t call them mid if they are tiered but that’s something else

Today (well, very often) I prefer Farfa over a video from another yugituber showcasing another stupid and boring Snake-Eyes variant. P.D. Shirt! Snake-Eyes is being showcased here too. I guess that happens when you comment without watching the entire video... 😑

[@dhanyl2725]

Game 1 had the most anticlimatic moments, but it was still the most enjoyable to watch lol

[@CgfThisnameisrandom]

I love how this whole episode is a ton of decks just destroying pend.

[@NotsoNaisu]

This proves they could have given us these cards 3 months ago and it wouldn’t have affected the game at all :( it sucks being a pend enthusiast

[@CgfThisnameisrandom]

@@NotsoNaisu I mean youre probably right. Alas, you are someone that konami hates. pend worst deck for as long as konami has a say in the matter. They will continue to sprinkle in support only to drag pend players along with false hope but it will never be enough. they never want pend to be good again. Moral of the story. Konami is racist against pend players.

[@zeothesnowwolf2937]

​@@CgfThisnameisrandom Tbh it's not even about pends being "bad" the real reason is because of the fact that since no one is playing pendulum, a lot of the cards are cheap as hell and Konami knows if they released actual good pendulum support they would lose out on a lot of money

[@zeothesnowwolf2937]

​@@CgfThisnameisrandom Don't believe me? Check out Rika Sunavalon, the deck is hard to pilot but an experienced player can do quite a lot with it, compared to Fire Kings and other top decks it's not OP at all. But Konami still decided to hit the deck. Why? Because the deck was cheap and they didn't want people playing with cheap 4+ year old cards that are just as good as the new expensive shiny toys they just brought out

[@zeothesnowwolf2937]

​@@CgfThisnameisrandom In the end it's all about them wanting to make their money, they release a busted archetype, milk it for 3-6 months, then kill it in time for the new busted archetype to come in, and cycle repeats
