The MTG Concept that Yugioh Players NEED to Learn | TCG Theory

[@imnerdpodcast]

Ohhhhh, I really love this video, Snack. Good job on relating the MTG concepts to our game. This might actually be my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh video so far.

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Thanks so much! 🙏

Edison community been on fire lately, I think this might be my new favourite yugioh video.

Excellent breakdown. Once you play long enough, you start adopting this mindset even if you've never been exposed to this term before, but recognizing and summarizing it within that term really helps to ground it and apply it consistently. I'd never actually heard "who's the beatdown" until this vid, so this was very helpful!

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Definitely. The articles that those MTG players wrote were really just a way for experienced players LS to distill their knowledge into text.

[@R3vGames]

I really like this vid and hope it becomes an ongoing series. It is really important to identify how your deck will actually WIN the game. Too many players make comfortable "lose by less" plays/gameplans and don't understand that the outcome of a game is bimodal. You either win or lose. Losing by 8000 LP with an ex-ante 40% chance of winning is better than losing by 1000 LP with an ex-ante 25% chance of winning. A common misplay I make is being sheepish and playing around too many cards when I am ahead. You can rarely afford to play around every single Brain Con/TT/Mirror/Gorz. At some point in the game you almost always have to just go for it and be comfortable getting some egg on your face when it doesn't pan out.

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Well said. I’m prone to the same kinds of mistakes.

[@danielyu7237]

ooh this is a great video! i have been explaining this concept to some yugioh and vanguard teammates recently

[@kingvegeta7868]

I just learned alot with that blackwing mirror example

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

That's great to hear! It's something that I remember hearing Frazier and Cameron discuss once. How the opponent will often respond to the activation of double whirlwind by getting much more aggressive.

[@danielyu7237]

this is really well explained concept. will be sharing to some of my teammates!

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

I love to hear it! thanks for the support

[@florians.1326]

Great video! Made me kind of proud that I've been starting to use this mindset without knowing what specifically I was looking for, so this will help me out a lot! It also explains why Trap Dustshoot is so incredibly busted, being able to look at your opponent's starting hand AND removing a monster makes it much easier to identify and even manipulate which role you should be taking this game.

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Definitely! That’s something I was considering when crafting the blackwing example. Deciding what playstyle in that scenario is much easier if you know they have slow cards like vayu and blizzard

[@Diwalia]

This was an amazing video, the visual aids were a great accompaniment to the theory being discussed! I will echo others and say that the moving background got a bit distracting at times, but it wasn't too much of an issue overall.

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@purpleflurp3184]

Fantastic video. Seeing this concept so well-articulated further galvanizes my love for older formats that allow for inevitability to be such a strong factor. I feel like that might have gotten lost as yugioh developed as a game, or at least became less important.

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Yeah the playstyles are harder for me to differentiate from one another, especially as someone who isn't super experienced with current. I think we can probably classify the heavy combo decks like Superheavy samurai as beatdown and slower decks like Runick Naturia as control? But there are sometimes decks like Tearlament which both start quickly (on turn "zero") and seem to have unlimited resources, which lends them inevitability as well.

[@antoniorossi6675]

Great video, amazing visuals

[@vikinggoats4209]

I'm incredibly impressed, fantastic video!

[@SunnyYGO]

The goat. Fantastic video.

[@10footD]

Well edited!

[@YohananYGO]

Great video , good job

[@fitzyugioh]

Banger video great work!

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Thanks Fitz!

[@coolthot]

In late 2017 on New York I90 I had a slight buzz going. I hit something on the road, hard. Looked back only once and saw eyes glowing in the rear view. Didn't look back again but I can feel him there any time I drive at night

[@echo-ygo]

Hi Snack 😎❤️

[@GaybrohamStinkton]

Whats wrong with the sound settings? It sounds incredibly weird

[@TheFightSite]

We love u snack!

[@yugioh5ds209]

Fantastique video

[@papernes]

I love Edison. Still trails behind Goat though, we’ve practiced this concept for years now.

[@jacobwoodman4488]

That this is the first time you've heard it discussed in Edison community does not mean this is the first time it has ever been applied in Edison Community

[@Jeppe_P]

The background constantly moving really distracts my from the video 😅

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

That’s unfortunate. I was trying to avoid making people stare at a static picture but I can see how the movement could be distracting. I’ll see how I can find something that works for my next attempt at this style of video.

[@D0nGyK0nG]

@@CrowsNestRetroYGO for me it wasnt distracting, so its prob a person to person thing. imo the video was perfect and very interesting! yugioh kinda lacks theory videos like this one

[@johank3007]

i think its just spinning too fast, probably slower would be non distracting

[@w_tch]
