True Draco Zoodiacs (2017) - A Challenger APPEARS! (YgoPro)

[@rafaelfernandez6626]

I didn't realize how much I missed hearing Lithium saying "Zoodiac" this much with his accent.

[@cydra-evolution5623]

At the time it wasnt because he made too many zoodiac videos but now i miss them

Same when he say "Durrrancia"

True King Dinosaur for Challenger APPEARS

[@RepTheoAndFriends]

True King Dinosaur Yang Zing Ocg from early Link Format with 1 Diagram. There are 100% lists that didn't play Link Monsters

[@assuming9735]

I really like the opening for this video, or at least the idea behind picking one highlighted clip and rolling it at the beginning, but I feel like something could be done to make it different from the rest of the video. As it is, I agree with some people in the comments who say this intro felt almost like an editing error. I'm just some guy on the internet so I know my opinion doesnt mean much, but I think the intros would stand out more if they were completely quiet except for the YGO Pro sound effects. It would make one really insane play or combo seem more epic, and spotting that play later in the video with your commentary and music over it sounds really satisfying to me. Just a thought. :) Love your videos regardless, keep up the great content.

Haven't seen the full vid, but I have to say: I am liking the new opening. I hope that sticks around, but maybe slightly prolonged with a bit more of a fade-in video, because it felt oddly jarring. I thought that I had skipped ahead for a while :P With that out of the way, GO ZOODIAC!

[@Drschnarch]

when the video started I thought using an OCG True Draco Zoodiac list (before OCG 04/2017 banlist, 3 Ratpier, 3 Maxx "C" possible) would have been cooler, but apparently even the 06/2017 version of the TCG was too strong for most decks...

It might be nice to have like a mini tournament of all the most absolutely broken decks in yugioh history. The lot too strong for the regular cup. So Pepe vs Zoo vs full power dragon rulers and spellbooks or whatever. Might not be time for such a thing since the regular cup already takes up the whole year but it’s a fun thing to think at least.

I must disagree with everyone else on having a highlight as the first clip. It just feels jarring and.. well, the video's only ten minutes long. I'm going to find it eventually.

[@herbertcharlesbrown1949]

New Idea: Cross Banned List "Champions League" with Baby Dragon Rulers, Judgment Spellbook, Master Peace True Draco, Full Force Qliphort, Fire Lake BA, PePe, Djinn Nekroz and some other decks that would be too strong for the regular Cross-Banlist-Cup

[@nerfirelia8235]

For next year's cross banlist cup just put the zoo engine in all of the decks

[@simonsberg6370]

Nerf Irelia next deck: zoo/dragonrulers, zoo/pepe, zoo/nekroz so on and so forth Lol

[@ForteGX]

Zoodiac was obviously heavily favored in many of these games. This cross banlist cup was designed to have some of the most OP decks excluded to make things more interesting. But, something that I would like to see is Zoodiacs against some of the most broken decks in their prime. Like what would have happened if the Baby Rulers/Super Rejuvenation, Spellbook Judgement day, or full force Nekroz saw Zoodiacs? All of these decks just have a ton of ways to generate advantage/ really strong board states that would more likely put up a fight with the torrent of zoodiacs flooding out of the extra deck.

[@edymiguel4247]

Nekroz with Shurit shit on Zoo and go toe to toe with True Draco on the search department. It's the Ash and Dbarrier that kills Nekroz

[@bryantsalcedo554]

Feedback on the opening: Kinda unclear what that was supposed to be. It looked like an upload error. I was in the process of leaving the page, when the normal intro appeared while the page was loading.

[@god-emperorsodom_787]

To make it look like a highlight, simply add epic music so it's very evident that it's a highlight!

[@MrAhYesh]

Unlike some commentors here, I am not a fan of the new opening. I appreciate you're trying to experiment with your work Lithium but I feel its a takes a bit of gravitas away from the video, which I feel is a major component in my enjoyment of your work. Its more emblematic of twitch streamers, but I always felt your channel was outside that kind of style. Your old style was good, very good in fact, I've been a consistent viewer for at least two years, and as I say I understand you feel a desire to mix it up every now and then, but I feel like this doesn't work within the already existing style of the channel. Of course, this is your work and if you choose to adapt it into a new style that is your choice.

[@TheKartana]

I wanted to see it against full power nekroz and pepe

[@lucasflores8095]

The only thing that annoyed me, is that you stopped the duels, i wanted to see more xd.

[@xxdinorabbitxxschannel5083]

omg i thought you discontinued this series ;_; i like this series, and io never thought you'd choose zoo again! lol its too bad you did discontinue the challenger vibe from the previous ones, like how the challenger approaches its next victim and the music and the pokemon music and what not, its what i liked most.

[@Lithium2300]

The amount of time I need for editing that, was just too much, not possible now =(

[@xxdinorabbitxxschannel5083]

[@jay997]

I dont see a zoodiac variant ever being added to the cup. Because quite frankly there weren't any 'fair' versions of this deck. Or maybe if they do get added they can be featured as an engine in a more fair deck. Because i remeber every deck was playing them in thier format.

[@jtalkalot19]

I would argue against it from the zoo side. Zoo by itself isn't so oppressive its the d barrier and handtraps.

[@omar5788]

@@jtalkalot19 zoo being able to generate tons of plusses off of one card is what allows them to play so many handtraps and dbarrier

[@jtalkalot19]

@@omar5788 yes. I know that. But are you saying that even without barrier and handtraps, full power zoo is way too powerful for the CBC? I would say you could fit in a OCG RATE build into the cup and depending on the other decks you could MAYBE have a post Ebanlist MACR TCG build.

[@m.slayer6058]

true draco zoo is probably tied with pepe as the second best deck in yugioh. but no one can deny the fact that true king dino is by far the best deck in this game.

Looking back on zoodiac comparing it to the other historically broken decks, what the fuck where they thinking when they designed zoo? Their card economy and pressure is ridiculous

[@JorgeGarcia-ww9vv]

How about Full power monarchs with true Draco?

[@auenboy4571]

Id like to see a pure zoodiac try its way agaisnt these decks. True draco just shits on everything in this tournament. Might as well just have been just demise draco as the Challenger because outcome wouldve been the same. Would be cool to see an erata om broad bull, rat, and drident, so they say once you use their effects you can only summon zoodiac monsters. Kills the engine. Ofc broadbull should only search zoo monsters as well. I think the deck can come back in todays meta if some of their cards were changed. I like their designs and mechanic would be cool to see xyz make a comeback.
