TRAPPED IN A SHADOW GAME FOR MY CHAT'S SOULS - Dueltaining!

[@NotAbot1011]

MBT: "but I can just crash this" Opponent: *perfectly timed proceeds to summons Utopia* 👌

[@Deadlad69]

I jumped out of my seat! That was amazing!

[@GCD]

Had an absolute blast putting on a show in that duel, yugioh rocks.

[@callmeriggy]

Were your bans random?

[@aidanobrien5591]

It was absolutely the best duel of the episode.

[@fortidogi8620]

youre a legend

[@colossaldonut5190]

Next time you'll know the full spreadsheet it's fine.

[@Neutron2403]

Were banned chatter paid actors?

[@TrevorAllenMD]

I wonder if the 8 people GCD used as examples were willing participants or just chilling out, supporting their YGO inspiration MBT, when they were randomly pulled in and out of the banish pile for no known reason.

[@PharaohofAtlantis]

I choose to believe they were completely randomly picked. It's funnier that way if you ask me.

[@phoenixvance6642]

Who would volunteer to be the victim of a SHADOW GAME?

[@donkition]

i was one of the ones that got banned and i played into the bit after he said the premise by saying like "guys... help me..." in chat so i was a willing participant but they weren't picked beforehand (other than probably cj)

[@nellewoodruff6337]

Imagine getting banned jokingly

[@StriiderEclipse]

As someone who was banished to the shadow realm, I can confirm that some of them were random while some of them (cjellex) were chosen specifically

[@jman667755]

That "shadow game" having a very anime comeback with that Primera draw was perfect. Might not have made MBT laugh but definitely made me.

[@Abunai_Gaming]

Joseph had a full-on Yusei "path to victory" moment, that was incredible.

[@vbun4662]

It might not have made him laugh but it made us all smile.

[@colossaldonut5190]

It was eveven more perfect with the villain putting up some awful mid board with full combo

[@mr.thekid3827]

I friggen LOVED that last duel, it doesn't matter if he had won or lost by laughing or if chatters WOULD have ended up permabanned if he had lost the duel- that right there? That was some GENUINE, TOP-QUALITY, DUELTAINING It put stakes on the line, it had high risk, and yet our protagonist won by the skin of their teeth on a heart-of-the-cards draw, and good play. It genuinely felt like a scripted duel you'd see in the anime, it was just THAT good- the only thing that'd need to change is he'd need to have at LEAST 2000 less LP at the end of the game. It was so incredibly done though. Hahah

[@AshleyoftheSwiftspear-pb8cs]

It was even complete with the villain putting up a mid as hell endboard with full combo! So peak

[@TheProgenitor]

For anyone curious, Oliver was just chillin there cuz my hand was weird and i couldn't figure out a way to get an extra level 3 on board to make herald after I discarded for pico to equip. I realized what i needed to do in post, but it's not like i had to worry about nib or anything lol

[@ThePhalinx_]

Do you know of anyway to get the mop without isolde?

[@ashikjaman1940]

​@@ThePhalinx_ not as easy or good as Isolde but equips are searchable with Power Tool Dragon as long as you run 3 of them

[@Rhino-n-Chips]

The D/D/D duel was insane. Down to one last card, pulling an anime comeback, shame he didn't finish off the MVP, Auxila, though.

[@nicholas9908]

Kinda insane that he was able to do so much from 1 card. Modern YGO is so lame.

[@Eragonnogare]

I may not be cheating in this one but I'm always happy to see all the hilarious setups everyone comes up with! I'm running on fumes in terms of cheating ideas, but at least I can do my best to help people come up with new ideas in places like the discord. Glad to see this series continuing strong!

[@ravinercf]

I am conviced u will find a way to hack master duel just so MBT will autosurrender when he duels you

[@monarchy028]

Next time you should play completely normal. But make him think you’re trying to cheat again. Just tell him you didn’t draw the funny cards. Thus, gaslighting turbo 2.0.

[@WavemasterAshi]

@@monarchy028 For added gaslighting funny, when you have lethal on board, tell him you didn't draw the funny and ask for a redo.

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

@@ravinercf There was that one time someone Quested Farfa by changing his chrome extention that tells him when a banlist is dropped. Maybe there is something there if MBT has a similar vulnerability?

I like the unironic joy MBT felt talking about insect cards.

[@Lightmaster677]

Ngl, that mod had the right idea. Win or lose, everyone wins just for being able to have fun with an anime trope made real.

[@kanokarob]

Actually really incredible storytelling by GCD to pick a deck that perfectly demonstrates the rules of the shadow game on the first turn. Mans could write for the anime

[@michel0dy]

This episode was a certified banger! Congrats to the players, these decks were so much fun! Imagine Showing up to locals with CUCUMBER HORSE CONTROL

considering how gcd didn't end on a wave high king caesar, with having contract with the gate in the opening hand, he probably drew thomas and couldn't scale it with gilgamesh

[@thesun5275]

actual fucking anime moment. One draw that saved the game.

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

God I love how we're thinking about the Dino Rabbit format decks thanks to this and Wind-Up. Heck, even the Evolzars still see play in Dino decks thanks to all of their support, so it's almost like 2013 never left!

[@shadexvii3975]

24:24 what would happen if GCD had won though?

[@Ultima_Atulos_Maxim]

ngl, this entire video I was waiting for a duel where someone declared "Stake Your Soul!" at the beginning of it.

[@KingEdward27]

Might be the best episode yet

[@Technizor]

That D/D/D XYZ being able to respond to Trudea's Trap effect is specifically because it looks for Monster Cards (presumably to control Pendulum monsters/scales)

[@auroraseppel6204]

Instead of Isolde in the Inzektor game, you could theoretically use the Fiendsmith engine to make Beatrice in order to send the mop, finding Renaud with the normal Fire Warrior stuff

[@batsmak2506]

Cucumber Horse was deemed too powerful for our all-types Battle Pack 3 style cube and we had to ban it. Within a few drafts the meta immediately shifted to drafting GY hate being a top priority, so the cucumber drafter would then draft every way to recycle it from banished. Unironically the Nutbuster Dragon play was one of the most dominant options, but also just looping Stratos effects or things that could tribute the horse for value were all crazy powerful.

[@Nortea]

Between the horse and the shadow game this might be my fav episode so far

[@pkpyro2000]

MBT literally had a heart of the cards type moment there

[@moleycule3177]

glad to see we got soul stealing shit going on this week, can't wait for next week where we recreate the episode of vrains

The one where both players brick for 4 consecutive turns or a different one?

[@omicronshiri44]

That last duel was WACK 😂😂 He activated Seal of Orichalcos before the Duel started 😂😂😂

[@NeviTheLettyFan]

The Insektor combo was fucking sick, I loved every single move made by them It's like a more convoluted Mikanko Isolde setup with Ken/Gen, but it covers even more with the extra Utopia lmao

[@FacetiousEnigma]

This is the best series on the channel by miles. It's like Farfa's table 500.

[@Thaneriffic]

dueltaining is so fucking good man. and this was an absolute banger

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

Using mod powers to make a literal anime duel out of that last one was a brilliant idea. And D/D/D is a pretty scary deck if you're just on something okay.

[@timsuu8991]

I was just thinking to myself recently about how no one was trying to go for Nirvana High Paladin turbo and here it is. MBT viewers might usually be dumb as fck but they are so gooood with jank. Also that shadow duel is one of the best yugioh bit i've ever watched, someone should definitely animate that duel. Would've been cooler if MBT kept reading GCD's lines throughout the game but i guess he was busy saving his viewer's souls. I guess he does love us chat 🥰

GCD decided to be really cool with this and that's awesome

[@brianmead1983]

Lmfao as MBT explains how insect and Ogdoadic both have the same issues in no end board, and thus Ragnaraika ends up in the same boat by default

[@TheLetterJ0]

And that's why Ragnaraika seems to mostly get tossed into existing plant piles at the moment. At least plants have things they can do.

[@catbear6183]

Armour horn lock has gotta be top 5 decks on this show. So tight

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

I'd ask him to drop the Crimson Dragon package too, but that unironically seems to play worse than just running a bunch of Rank 8s and 12s, and the point is to give the opponents a chance.
