So could everyone who plays against them please check their set cards at the end of every duel to make sure they are not cheating, thank you." I legit laughed so hard at that.

[@kyuubinaruto17]

@@gregoryford2532 I first saw Infernities in the 5d's manga, and it always struck me as a deck that could only work for a Yugioh protaganist. Kessler even had a card that, if his hand was empty and it was in his graveyard, it skipped his draw phase every single turn. In a game about generating advantage the very concept of Infernities goes against good strategy and is extremely luck based.

Everybody was cheating their ass off at this event lol. You gotta be skeptical of every list that topped. Similar to the lightsworn lists from previous episodes, this really demonstrates the difference between true randomization on Duelingbook and the ability to stack your deck in real life And MBT you used my son Harris’ deck of all people. Great player but notorious cheater 🤣

@@ssengageisop3952 The main way Infernity players cheated was different from Lightsworn players. While lots of Lightsworn players stacked their deck, none of the Infernity players did that. They were setting Infernity monsters instead, like how you set an Artifact monster. That was also why when opponents activated backrow removals some Infernity players would just immediately surrendered and go to Game 2 lol.

[@donjuan6996]

Also the fact that he drew for turn but goes back to Joseph's End Phase because he forgot Dark Soul's effect. 😑

[@DaemonRayge]

He would have probably had it either way. He was clearly trying to play around that backrow by the End Phase E-Call. If it was a Barrier, he would have lost either way. He could have set up for a Mist Wurm play (Summon the Darksoul and Emersblade) instead and still win. Also, Darksoul is optional, so he forgetting to use it is still legal.

[@konstantink7310]

Im hundred procent sure that no one is perfect and that you did illegal actions too in one of your games .

[@TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

@@konstantink7310 He's not trying to call out Cimo and MBT for being "horrible dirty stinking cheaters" he's just trying to tell them where they misplayed for any future reference or just things that Cimo and MBT may have missed. MBT is aware of DeltaShinyZeta because DSZ has made videos of the misplays/illegal plays in the Progression and this series. Not sure if Cimo has seen the videos or not. Either way it helps to know the rules, and I don't know if these decks go away after this episode or not. They have been informed by him and in the comments about misplays and Cimo and MBT address these things in the videos when the plays/rulings come up again. Hell, I know I made a lot of misplays in my days playing on the old Dueling Network. Granted I was also mostly playing against friends. It's good to know when you made mistakes so you learn from them rather than just passing them off as "we all make mistakes" and continuing to make the same mistakes.

[@TheFunfighter]

49:58 Joseph used a lvl 2 Avenger and a lvl 3 Darksoul to synchro into a lvl 4 Armory Arm

[@pandaman1331]

The last duel was a certified Yugi Moto Anime protagonist moment. From barely living with 300 life points to and OTK. And even though we didn't get to see what Infernities can do, you still can't tell me that this wasn't an entertaining episode. I like Edison as much as everyone but XX-Saber is just one of my all time favorite Synchro decks. And it will only get better with Duelist Revolution. And in MBT's defense. Infernity is quite difficult to properly pilot and learn. It took me literal months to get behind the idea of this combo deck

[@asju4]

Also he didn't cheat and set his monsters in the s&t zone

[@MegaMK13]

Cimo chet. He special summoned his Airbellums in defense and one miraculously switches to attack with a perfectly timed jump cut.

[@Agumame]

Idunno usually yugi’s opponents dont just pass turn without doing anything at all twice in a row. Usually yugi at least has to top deck swords of revealing light to get that to happen

[@potatoexe5410]

Fun fact: there was no mistranslation with Dark Soul because it was a TCG exclusive. Due to being a TCG exclusive there was no previous ruling for such a card hence why it was ruled as such. The errata'd and proper ruling for it occured when it got its OCG printing forcing the TCG to change their ruling of it to match the OCG. This ruling was brought to us by the same person who gave us the Sagan being detached as an xyz material triggers Sangan's effect.

[@aliceinwonder8978]

Wow lol i remember that sangan ruling, they swifly fixed that xd

[@onlyonehere555]

Game 1 Cimo could not summon the Faultroll off of Emergency Call, he can't be specialed except by his effect from hand, but he would have just gotten something else, still may have mattered though

[@condedepiamonte93]

It did matter Otherwise, XX-Saber Gottoms can't be summoned Therefore making Doom Dragon a threat

[@gingsSon]

@@condedepiamonte93 nah, if cimo got any other pair of level 3s he could have went into gottoms since he drew a fulhelmknight and gottoms can use multiple tuners. also he could have went into mist worm if he got two non-tuners off the gottoms e-call. edit: actually the brain control would have won the game for MBT haha. But cimo certainly would have gotten over the doom dragon, and potentially won if he went into mist.

[@DaemonRayge]

Probably wouldn't have mattered. Cimo could have set himself up for a Mist Wurm or Brionac which would have won him the game. The latter would have been playing a risk on the backroe, but Cimo would have lost if he didn't take that risk.

[@DaemonRayge]

Wouldn't have mattered. Cimo still could have taken the gambit by setting himself up for a Mist Wurm or Brionac (Taking a gamble on the backrow not being a battle trap like Mirror Force for the latter) to win the game.

Idk enough about Yuma or Yuya to mention them. And Playmaker/Yusaku sort of got around this issue by having a lot of draws. escalating tension, and having more duels where you have no reason to believe one character might win over another.

Tbf. Cimo could’ve crashed emmers into Doom Dragon for Fulhelm then get back a monster to get Faultroll onto the field in MP2 and win that way So if he played right then he could’ve won without cheating

[@TempestDacine]

The game was never the same after this. Its funny seeing how suboptimal some of the lists were when infernity is just so much stronger than people at the time could have realized.

[@DrewskiTheLegend]

Gorz in main was just stupid. That being said, pure infernity is kind of a glass cannon if your opponent knows how to dismantle it. It’s a great dark horse but not a good mainstream meta deck.

[@maximusatlas9377]

X Sabers is my favorite deck of all time. I'm really glad to finally see it at it's prime in the History of Yugioh. I will never forget how dominant the deck was back in the day alongside Infernity and it did teach me how to value everything in all of my later decks. In a way I understand it's a bittersweet format. Some people didn't like it, others really loved it and others were stoically indifferent. I personally really liked it because my favorite decks got a massive boost but I do admit Edison was more fun in regards of having more deck options like the modern day or Duelist Alliance. However this format didn't last as long as many think, so it's by no means a Dark Armed disaster and quickly went back to other decks. I'm a 5Ds boy all the way. This was my favorite era of Yugioh.

You are able to search "XX-Saber" monsters when searching for an "X-Saber" because it still has "X-Saber" in the name. It's like D/D/D and D/D, you can search a D/D/D when searching for a D/D using Dark Contract with the Gate because it says "D/D" and "D/D/D" still has "D/D" in the name, but you can't revive a D/D using D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok because it says "D/D/D".

[@SuperSayianWarrior]

[@Skios]

Silly bit of trivia: Hundred Eyes Dragon was originally printed as 'Hundred-Eyes Dragon'. The hyphen had to be replaced by a space when people realised that it would make it a 'Red-Eyes' card for the purpose of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon archetype.

I don't know why he attacked with Archfiend instead of faultroll when archfiend and gottoms both could have killed cimo and its pretty obvious from last duel that none of the x sabers have high defense. The worst it could be is emmersblade which you just run over 3 times. If he had played optimally and gone weakest monster into the def position one, he won the duel.

History of Yu-Gi-Oh! episode wins Cimoooooooo: 28 MBT: 26

[@dhamtom9]

Love the Kiryu sleeves from MBT but it was a Yuseo Fudo save in the last minute with 300

[@insanemakaioshin]

1. Can you do a video covering the tier 0 formats? 2. Can you do a game of modern Yugioh with everything at 3? I don't thing some cards are as busted as people think!

[@dovadoevans2897]

😂 As someone who has always played infernity I can feel your pain.

[@Blizz3112]

Can't wait for next week, when they play Rock Stun... :-P

[@larryjohnson6208]

MBT could have won game 2 if he just hit through the emmersblades, eventually he'll run out of dudes

[@scythermantis]

Yeah that's true

[@amrkadry5176]

Kudos to Alex for pulling the win in game 2; that was dope!

[@thekidsatno80]

I wanna see the unlisted video of you guys just royally fucking up the combos and interactions.

[@alberthcuayla1587]

I'm going to beat that Cimo forgets to resolve Dark Soul at least twice...

[@alberthcuayla1587]

Well he didn't forget, but he revive FaulTroll :/

[@AlanDCat]

Grammer nazis and people who call out the smallest misplays that don’t matter are literally the same

[@Sillimant_]

Faultroll off Emergency Call is a big thing

[@lesibalto1016]

It is fascinating to see that in person duel infernity was a beast and in simulators like ygopro(cross banlist cup) and here in db it aint that broken with matchups of the time. #Bringbacklegalcheating

[@blahmaster6k]

Cheating was never legal

[@lesibalto1016]

@@blahmaster6k by that i mean setting monsters as s/t and opponent cant know until the end if it was a chet or not

[@LeAndre_McCoy]

I look at MBT deck and think "WHY GORZ!?!" You can't get that shit out of your hand

[@TrainHardnett]

thats me and seeing fucking Dark Grepher instead of Street Patrol, also no triple Barrier.

[@BlazingRaptor]

Early infernity was running fucking inferno, I don’t think the builders understood the deck at this point

[@LeAndre_McCoy]

@@BlazingRaptor Inferno is a great card for setups and to unbrick your hand, but Gorz is actually useless. It's a hand trap you can only use , if you have nothing on the field and your opponent attacks directly. If you draw it, it's a complete brick, unless you also drew Grepher or Inferno and it's useless in the grave, so you may as well have not played it. Summoned Skull would be more useful because at least it's only 1 tribute.

[@Chamele7n]

That game 2. Wow.

[@CStacks]

Cimo won game 2 due to that massive cold wave chet. One or both of the trunade or brain control would have been discarded by gottoms.

[@carlosb.6851]

I guess we just don't read the cards: XX-Saber Faultroll "Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by controlling 2 or more face-up "X-Saber" monsters, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways." *Special summons it with Emergency Call...

[@TrainHardnett]

The moment i saw that Infernity deck I knew MBT was gonna lose, that deck is absolutely horrendously bad. Goes to show how much that second place "player" cheated on that event. Who the fuck plays Gorz in Infernity? Who the fuck doesn't play Street Patrol in a deck that really, REALLY doesn't want to normal summon? And to top it all off, 41 cards just to make sure you are not drawing what you want ever. How does Cimoooooooo not know that Infernity play Inferno at 3 when its literally a better foolish burial for the deck?

[@wolfshirtawoo]

Cimo the sack lord strikes again. Kitty cat off the top with trunade? But to be fair even with the compuls, he would’ve won. The advantage was too good. I give credit to infernity to pop off on a top deck, but with the control Alex had, sorry joe, the deck was against you this week. Also “yOu ShOuLd HaVe SeT tHe MoNsTeRs”

[@andych92]

That was a sick 2 games

[@kazaarus5007]

Also, if that Infernity list had played 40 cards then you could argue that Joseph would've seen all those game winning cards one turn sooner to actually win the game with them. What a shame

[@minabasejderha5972]

Real butchery of the concept of archetype names in this episode.... For clarity, "XX-Saber" cards implicitly also have "X-Saber" in the name, so they count as *both* X-Sabers and as XX-Sabers. The reverse is not true. All XX-Sabers are X-Sabers, not all X-Sabers are XX-Sabers.

[@PathBeyondTheDark]

Infernity never was good as far as I'm concerned. Having built the deck, stacking it with as many generic search, pitch, and revival cards as I could, I still bricked more often then not. I let someone borrow the deck and they confirmed it. It was unplayable. Any win it got was cheated to get. I will never believe anything else.

[@ziccy2]

Honestly i am sad to see edison format leave but it left on such a high note im glad it happened that way and didnt just slowly slide into the swamp THAT BEING SAID MORE EDISON SIDE SERIES WHEN!?!?!??!

[@creativechicken3367]

Hey, i love the series sincerely. But i have some critisizm. The content is FIne, But the ads are WAY to close together on this video specifically. Ive watched most if not all of your videos and this one is the most egregious one. IM not gonna tell you something stupid like "Dont have ads" Just dont have them back to back like 30 seconds apart. Spread em out a little more. Because its really taking me out of the video. Its hard to be engaged when i feel like an ad is popping up every ten seconds

[@BmSteelChain]

Simple fact is they both need to read and understand the way there cards work and they should be doing that before putting up the episode knowing it will be seen by 50+ thousand people. I'm just being honest. Reading Faultrol and Gottoms E Call was an easy oh I can't do that by simple reading. It literally won him game 1 flat out.
