This Was Actually Meta ? The Story of Cyber Valley

[@supercanadian0640]

Great video Cap, except I saw your mouse cursor at 3:44 so it's actually trash

[@pokeperson1000]

I like to imagine that the edit wasn’t the correction of a spelling mistake, but instead the addition of the second half of the sentence.

So, fun fact, this card was supposed to be named Cyber VARI (as in variation), but because of how similar L and R sounds in Japanese, was mistranslated (like Buster Rancher)

[@Vessy95gg]

In Italian it's translated as "Cyber Naga", I don't know why... XD

[@MobiusLeader007]

I noticed Zane/Kaiser pronounced it as "Vari" in the sub, but I wasn't sure if it was just that Japanese Engrish.

[@numberhunter62]

It's not that L and R sound similar, there just isn't a difference between how they're pronounced. It's the same with B and V.

[@cinemacynic980]

Not sure what a Buster Rancher is, but I remember they changed Buster Blader because the original name was Bastard Blader. It had nothing to do with Ls and Rs, this isn't Gojira....

Ah yes! I loved using in my Cyber decks in the Yugioh DS games.

[@nophiontrollbringer661]

I fondly remember how the AI in the DS titles was completely unable to ignore Cyber Vally or use destruction effects on it because those 0 Attack Points just looked too good to be true.

Yes, the AI was so great. Tribute summon Zaborg with no other monster on the field. Zaborg: *guess I have to die*

This was Actually Meta? The story of Spirit Reaper

[@cinemacynic980]

Spirit Reaper was never Meta, but it was Anti-Meta. People would use it for Stall/Mill decks. A Marshmallon, Needleworm or Jar deck will use Spirit Reaper in order to have protection from direct attacks. Karibou was never meta, even though it had received some support cards, but they never finished him - along with the Lvl cards.

[@victorvarela6885]

I played in Macro Monarch,in combination with D.D Suvivor and D.D Scout Plane you drew 2 cards and your monsters return in the end phase + it was abuseable with D.D.R and Return from D.D.(it was at 1 at the time)

[@JuwanBuchanan]

Dimension Fusion made this card overpowered, especially with Machine Dupe. I remember that a few stall decks tried utilizing the combo because what would happen is that you could literally banish it during your opponent's Battle Phase, stop them from attacking you and draw some free extra cards in helping you stall out. There was not really much you could do back then to get around something like that, and you was basically screwed. But there was some other cheeky things you could do to abuse Cyber Valley, but the whole stalling tactic was one of the most common ways Cyber Valley got abused from what I remember.

[@jaggededge11]

Newer players will never know the struggle of playing in a tournament and getting paired up against someone with an SJC CCV and Sarc in their deck.

[@jaggededge11]

@Somerset Belenof It's crazy because DAD-Return was an already expensive deck. Those 2 cards alone ended up costing just as much as the remainder of the entire deck. Even when CCV was reprinted in GLD1, it only managed to cut it's price in half (As it's pull rate was about 1 per 50). Needless to say, it felt damn good shutting down a several thousand dollar deck with budget trash.

[@jaggededge11]

@Somerset Belenof At the time, I was playing Six Samurai (As well as Sack Samurai), and Gladiator Beasts. Of course, this was GBs before winning SJC Minneapolis (Which ended up skyrocketing the deck's value). Funny enough, I had all the cards to run DAD return (I think actually twice over) but much rather preferred playing with budget/rouge decks (Or wherever Six Samurai were at that point in the game). Honestly, I've enjoyed Yu-gi-oh throughout all of it's formats. Well, at least until Links were introduced.

[@jaggededge11]

@Somerset Belenof Yah, Europe also didn't have access to Prisma so it wasn't as powerful as the North American version.

[@jaggededge11]

@Somerset Belenof I honestly didn't mind synchro format. Heck, I remember playing GB's because I could main Legendary Jujitsu Master, Book of Moon and Compulsory without much of a downside. As the format progressed, I ended up falling in love with Scraps and Six Samurai became insanely busted.

[@thetitsarefree]

Phantom Darkness was a busted set back in the day 😂

[@Saadsaif]

It’s still busted today. Many of its cards are still being played.

[@AzIgaziMakk]

Was that busted i stopped playing YGO cuz of that :)

[@mikegreen2701]

damn those old decklists got me feeling so nostalgic...feels like a lifetime ago that people were winning SJCs with crush card virus and dimension fusion

[@cn7187]

Those decks were very creative and unique.

[@cheyennemonger7959]

Hey I appreciate the love for Cyber Valley, I personally used it in my Cyber Dragon deck it was great as draw power and a shield. Using it with machine duplication is +2 in card economy, summoning the first Valley, dup it, then get two more on the field, and banish 2 for two more cards. Very simple not that flashy, but it did get 4 cards out of your deck and they were good targets for a power bonded Pair Cycroid back then.

[@nonstoplocs2443]

Dear Cap, This is awesome content. You don’t need click bait to get views. Keep up the great views. PS: Do continue to do meta analysis/ what happened series. Even for online events.

[@JoseOrichalcum]

I came back into the game when Cyber Valley was still around, but I believe that it was fading off of the map.

[@pickyphysicsstudent201]

Machine Duplication is a very nuts cards. Its a plus 1 and gets the monsters onto the field. its very very fast, even for modern day standards and some decks, like Cyber Dragons, rely on it, for alot of their plays.

[@sodaftpm185]

Spyral's abused the card most since there searcher is non HOPT and can revive itself.

[@ectoOLDACC]

Cyber Valley is essentially a Battle Fader that takes up a normal summon but allows you to go hand neutral. Just in that context alone makes it seem good, even by modern standards it could probably be played in a Mystic Mine deck.

[@Weareonenation303]

Dimension Fusion made this card very powerful, you could also banish it to stop a battle phase and draw 1 card meaning it had some utility on stall decks at the time. The last effect of placing cards from your GY to the top of the deck was there for even more utility despite not being used often due to it's steep cost.

[@bunnephante]

Yo these videos are so well done. Do you have any for goat format?

[@ebolahh_same8610]

early on it was used primarily for it's first effect. Later on at the end of it's life it was used more as tech for it's second effect with floating monsters or tokens as kind of a dekoichi.

[@syrelian]

It had threefold choices Effect 1: When this card is targeted for an attack, you can banish this card, draw 1 and end the Battle Phase Effect 2: You can banish this card and one other monster you control: Draw 2 Effect 3: You can banish this card, and one card in your hand; to target a card in your GY: Place it on top of your deck 1 and 2 were the common choices, blocking a battle phase and going neutral was useful if you were playing a slower deck, banishing 2 monsters for draw 2 was powerful if you could fill the board, the last effect had utility, as mentioned in the video, loading your deck like that had very useful implications at times
