Wait till you see runic.

You create really high quality content

As someone who's way more experienced with OCG, I only watch these videos to learn about the meta, and they are good regardless

[@nathanielsood1059]

As someone who's coming back to Yu-Gi-Oh I'm very thankful for things like this

[@Preyinglol]

Awesome video, super informative. Thank you.

[@ClarkieReidri]

Board breakers next!

[@MonkeyFightTCG]

I have something similar planned next, That I think you'll like!

[@alucardygo4239]

Enjoyed this🎉

[@finnshelton3815]

Thank you funny tier list man. Very cool

[@Arlesmon]

Thing is, even if someone plays maxx c, there's this challange some take called the maxx c challenge where they try to deck out their opponents and try to use card destruction to facilitate it with some of their infinite summon decks. It's a fun challenge if someone is willing to do it.

[@tomerator]

A very important thing about belle that he forgot to mention: belle can negate anything that INCLUDES moving a card from the GY. So a spell like nadir punishment, which adds a dogmatika from deck OR GY, can get belle’d. Invocation as well. When I was a yuginoob playing invoked was getting pwn’d by that card.

[@mrmeow2297]

Underrated video!!

[@four-en-tee]

Man, I wish Mad Hacker was good. Its such a funny concept for an effect.

[@Buzterer]

I personally run ghost belle to counter dd crow and the bystials since ogdoadic get eaten alive by those

[@DigiTism]

Bystials are almost always going to be live because Konami doesn’t know how to print cards outside of DARK. 😂 LIGHTS are abundant as well. Also considering they let you target in either GY they are even more live and could potentially give you more advantage since some cards have that “if this card is banished” as an effect. Example: Tri-Brigade Mercourior let’s me negate and search in the same turn. And I’ve never agreed more with someone’s tier list in my life.

[@DoctorFalchion]

If you're going to include Maxx "C" which isn't legal in TCG, I think Red Reboot should also be part of the list.

[@grenouilledemon7687]

Red reboot is banned in tcg

[@DoctorFalchion]

@@grenouilledemon7687 That's why I said IF you include Maxx C, also banned, which they did.

[@zexrom1297]

Certified ash moment

[@screendemon4558]

ayo wheres my boy gnomaterial the greatest hand trap of all time

[@screendemon4558]

ps i just have some attachment to the card cause i pulled it out of my first pack ever as a secret rare

[@delta3244]

6:53 is just disappointing. They know that playing around their time rules is not healthy, they _must_ know that people do so all the time by now, but there's no effort to change the rules.

[@RvBnerd618]

Nibiru at B is a rank I respect. Love using it on Master Duel, too bad the meta isn't affected by the bolder's effect anymore. Even tho I don't play Yu-Gi-Oh as much, both Master Duel and TCG, I love these videos you put out to help returning and new players to the game. I have pre ordered Dear Days on my Switch, and while I do hope for the game to still be good, even if they fix the localization text for the English version, that $70 is just going to make the game tank unless they either make it go on sale with every new set brought into the game (Which by the way you have to pay for. This makes me glad Konami at least lets you get two decent decks to start with in Master Duel if you know where to soend your gems). I love Vanguard, but Bushiroad needs to face reality and see that even card games like Yu-Gi-Oh aren't worth the AAA price tag, at best it's a $40 game with some paid DLCs thrown into the mix, but realistically it should be free to play with microtransactions implemented like Zero. I finished with my rant, still excited for the storyline of Dear Days, but I wish the game becomes more accessible to others one way or another.

[@MonkeyFightTCG]

I feel that. Why would I spend $$ on a dear days dlc when I could just by the actual deck?

[@Nomorehero07]

Right now in the TCG, ever since the ishizu cards came out, every ishizu tearlaments deck are running herald of orange light, not only as negate but it's also use to send the ishizu cards to the grave.

[@dragon-id5uj]

false, it's heavily debated among the top players. some play it some dont..dont.

[@Order-Sol]

Do you have the TCG's best hand traps in modern YGO?

[@MrBthomp]

Everyone in masterduel should run at least one lock bird. In case your opponent tries to deck you out.

[@icarosro]

After handtraps and handspells, we need handmonsters

[@danielkim848]

what bout evenly matched?

[@MonkeyFightTCG]

Not technically a hand trap

[@moopes3140]

I feel like d shifter is overrated coming from someone who plays a lot of graveyard focused decks like sure it is annoying but every good graveyard focus deck has a strategy against it like for example tear as long as you put up 2 lvl 4s you can make bagooska and out live it and it shows with like with the recent YCS compared to Maxx c where the counter play is either minimize your pluses you give to your opponent or not play at all it's also ALOT more generic than shifter either way I do hope d shifter is hit great vid (and spooky dog wood will always be ''playable" as long as time rule are the way they are even if you can't say that we all know it LOL)

[@marcelobr96]

i can't believe the time thing is real LMAO, how do they enforce people not talk about it in official events? thats ridiculous

14:11 "Out of the top 30 most popular decks, this hits all 30 of them, except for maybe Mystic Mine" Floowandereeze: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@chrisgroves8891]

Just started the video but spooky dogwood is NOT a “bad” hantrap. It’s a really strong side deck card if your playing a slower more control based deck with how time works right now.

[@MonkeyFightTCG]

It's objectively worse moonlit chili. Any deck that it could be used agasnt can gain enough value through their combos to effectively end the game without actually killing you. It's a hard trap that messes with a minimally needed resource. It does nothing to stop the opponent. It's the handtrap equivalent of sending a strongly worded letter.

[@lil_crossgg1029]

Probably one of the most annoying things in current yugioh in my opinion

[@megaspacewaffles]

Why’s that? Don’t you want interaction?

[@Head0.25s]

I love the content you're making, it is very high quality for the players that want to play optimally, with that I have a suggestion for the type of content you can try and make: Try making a 5 minute guide to every relevant deck in the format, for reference of what I mean, in MTG we have the YT channel AmmiO2. A video of his: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4izmJqPiLaenq8 (I'm not trying to advertise him or anything, I am just trying to show a reference to what I'm hoping will happen in Yugioh since the type of content you make is very similar. This is what I love your channel for) thanks a lot for understanding and I hope to see your videos soon. For newer players such as myself, those guides are excellent entry point and further improvement for whatever the competitive format is.
