WHAT IS THAT CARD?? Yu-Gi-Oh Pack Dash #7

[@ex.ver.5818]

It's hilariuos how this is became "Gage vs Farfa series presents: Pack Dash! featuring Doug from the Master Saga series" because Doug got so unlucky with his pulls.

[@Kintaku]

I honestly don’t mind the “cannot be destroyed by battle” cards as a KZbin viewer. I can understand why it is boring for chat but the Crush Cards does a good job with making even the many turns of nothing viewer friendly. I think it’s interesting to see how the decks are able to out these cards over time. And they can help a technically worse deck stall until it draws the useful cards.

[@QuatroXEspada]

Gage scared the shit out of me when he said "why is your dogs name George like come on" right as I was calling my dog who is named George.

[@AnuxeL]

Did you answer his question though

[@emred4653]

He knows

[@hazamax2139]

Ain't no way Doug says "I just want to spin the wheel as much as possible" and then blames us for putting wheels everywhere. That's some next level addiction

[@duelistemissary7680]

Doug’s deck isn’t even that bad. He has a coherent synchro strategy and everything. The problem is the other two just have better cards. They’re practically playing a pile of good cards and it’s enough to absolute blast Doug.

[@winnerwood]

They could probably do with importing the Legacy Bans system from Saga in future seasons of this. Or else it'd always boil down to who pulls Baronne/Accesscode/Whatever big power card. Without the semi-constructed archetypes of Saga, the power cards are even stronger with less to counter them.

[@geiseric222]

@@winnerwoodthis is pointless. The odds you pull either of those cars is hilariously low, hell Barone isn’t even good unless gage pulls better instead Like enlightenment paladin has put in just as much work as Barone just by being level 8 with a good effect

[@Endershock1678]

@@winnerwood Baronne and Accesscode Talker suck in this format and legacy banning them makes no sense. Baronne is one negate and like, a pop in exchange for what's usually 3 monsters, and Accesscode is a few pops for 4 monsters and requires generic links to use him at all. The bigger problem cards are easy to summon removal cards, things like Infinite Antlion, Soul Scissors, and Unchained Abomination are significantly better in Sealed by virtue of being strong, accessible, and repeatable removal in a format where you need a ton of resources to make anything.

[@michaelvalentinoyo1259]

​@@Endershock1678Yep. It's why i feel like Farfa has a much better deck than both Gage and Doug. He has so much more power cards. Gage has some removals and Baronne but that's it after the bannings. Doug is just very unlucky to always get Baronned. I feel like Gage vs Doug isn't that one sided if Baronne doesnt hit the field.

[@MiyaoMeow588]

having a real strategy and just getting stomped by random pile decks. just master duel things

[@DoctorFalchion]

I saw this one live, PAINFUL how bad Doug's card quality is compared to the others. Wishing him some good pulls so he doesn't fall further and further behind (this series reward/ban system seems rather snowball oriented TBH). The Farfa v Gage game was entertaining at least.

[@RPGFanboy14]

They really are. I feel like last place should get some kind of craft or something

[@GameDay1UP]

@@RPGFanboy14 It shouldn't be a craft, it ruins the concept of a masochist tournament. Maybe the last place gets to ban one card?

[@ironfletch2981]

I think it shouldn’t be just bans exactly… I think every 3 losses you get against an opponent should be a decraft wheel on that opponent. Then if you ever get 10 wins ahead of any opponent, they get a targeted, no wheel ban, you know a blue shell of sorts. Lastly, their minds could change, but if they do this for multiple seasons, let’s keep the ban list going.

Not really related to the episode but Doug mentioned Goblin Pothole Squad and it has lore reasons for its effect and existence. Look at the Trap Hole type cards and most of them are goblins falling in. So the Goblin Pothole Squad was formed to take care of those pesky holes.

[@qazaq25]

It might be a bit early to say but if you have a second season of this I'd recommend that the extra packs are based on losses instead of wins. I get that they are basically prizes but a catch-up mechanic sounds more important...

[@MrShukaku1991]

Nah, have each win get a pack, but each loss lets you craft a duplicate of a card you've obtained. Maybe no duping SR/URs to prevent a single super pull from multiplying by tossing a week

[@darkpuppetlordful]

Or add a loser wheel so we can double dip on wheel spinning.

[@notdiegocontreras2649]

I mean...there has to be a reward for winning?...(Although I do get it about being a snowball mechanic.)

[@geiseric222]

What’s the point. They have a catch up mechanism in the bans 2 extra packs isn’t gonna change shit

[@bridgeseller7004]

​@@notdiegocontreras2649Does it has to be, though? Winning is the reward in itself - I doubt any of them would throw games to get some extra packs. You win, you get to triumph over the opponent, you get a higher score. Now, a better idea would be having different "rewards" for winning AND losing, to make catching up easier. Something based on losses and their decks, perhaps. But still, a series can exist without mandatory win rewards.

[@afeathereddinosaur]

Dzeff, you will pull everything one day. I believe in you. Believe in the me that believes in the heart of the cards for you, because you need more bangers of your own

[@mageius]

It's so worth keeping things that can't be destroyed by battle lol.

[@Salacavalini]

Stardust Spark Dragon can actually still protect itself if you chain its effect to whatever is flipping it face-down. It only loses the protection if you apply it and then it's flipped face-down on a new chain. Weird, but there's a ruling for this interaction.

[@bridgeseller7004]

That's just incorrect though? The ruling describes the opposite situation - CL1 Spark Dragon, CL2 BoM. CL2 resolves, flips it face-down. Cl1 resolves, applies effect successfully. HOWEVER: If it's CL1 BoM and you use Spark Dragon's effect in response on CL2, that protection ceases to exist when it's flipped face-down when CL1 BoM resolves.

[@bridgeseller7004]

I.e. it only works if for some reason opponent decides to chain flipping effect to Spark's effect, not the other way around. And they have no reason to do so - they can just wait for a new chain - or activate it before Spark activates.

[@SaHa0v0]

Sticky indestructible cards add tension to these games.

[@crh1985]

I think “can’t be destroyed by battle” effect monsters can be used in one episode than the card is banned next episode if the card was used or not. The card can be pulled but not used to save for a better time, but if another player gets and uses it the card is banned before the player could use it.

[@Alx501]

We need a super cut of all the non-sequitur conversations in these series, like the cut to Gage raising people giving dog’s human names out of nowhere

[@billyjdonut]

3:39 would you rather have 1 dollar or 2 dollars...

[@SonicSaltyStryker]

This series could definitely use a Blue Shell mechanic. The ban wheel every 5 wins is more a Red Shell which is more a minor setback for the winning players.

[@andrewjennings236]

Just a reminder to all the Doug fans who are now just complaining about the balancing of this series, there is a delay from when they record this. After watching the first episode my thought was “huh winners get additional packs and the only catch up mechanic is a total of 4 bans, that’s so imbalanced I may not like this series.” But the gameplay was good enough I stopped caring about that. It was also very lucky this series stayed as balanced as it has up until now

[@ZGAMER777]

It's hilarious how genuinely upset Gage looks when he's losing/about to lose like there are no stakes here bro cheer up

[@chrisb.2028]

38:19 small note, Raigeki IS available in the master pack card pool, can't remember if always was like this or was added to the master packs after being included in the alt art ash blossom reprint box, I remember because that's where I got my royal rare, monster reborn and rota are unobtainable tho.

[@shapular]

I think they added it to the master pack after they put it to 2 since you can actually do something with a second copy now.

[@themightyai-5302]

Each player should only be allowed each type of immunity once each. So they can have two separate cards that has battle protection and card effect protection respectively, but if they have one card with both of those protections, then that is the single card they may have. The same should go for all immunities, as that would make really interesting decks and deck building. (Spell immunity, tribute immunity and so on)

[@kevinvidjai2161]

This has to be one of the funniest episodes so far xD

[@turobot8803]

I loved how long this was. Fun times and chats.

[@eelfroth]

59:35 i don't think "cannot be destroyed by battle", or any other generic effect, should be banned outright. yeah these cards are annoying, but the fun of masochist is trying to make your limited cardpool work in any way you can. if the meta becomes too stale i'd rather see some changes to the ban wheel, like maybe doing it more often, so you can ban specific problem cards

[@eelfroth]

like say, for example, the losers get to ban a card(s) each episode. then someone with a vendetta against stall could work on getting rid of all the aroma jars one by one

[@LazurBeemz]

I think we need ONE of these series to figure out a way to incorporate the solo mode cards

[@lewisfishr]

mr zeef would loved to see a special high speed dash round with a 30 second timer for the games

[@Leprosyyyy]

I have an idea to shake up the game, make it less lopsided that winners get better chances of winning more, and most importantly add MORE wheels. If you win you still get one more master pack per win BUT if you lose, for every loss you get that week you take all the secret packs you unlocked from your master pulls, put the packs on a wheel, and pull one pack of the one you land on. If you lose two games you do it twice but you have to spin the selection again. This will emulate now in Mario kart first place just gets stuff like coins while last place gets crazy items.

[@SilverTheReaper]

Ghost of a Grudge was actually used by Yuma(Zexal Protagonist) in the manga against the cooler character, Thunder Spark. This was done in something called a Speed Duel(No relation)

It's really funny that chat is like "remember torch" because blowtorch does NOT have a GY effect. Not only does it require you to have no spells and traps in grave, it also requires itself to be in the hand AND another superheavy samurai on the field, none of which was fulfilled.

[@masterduelzero1795]

In terms of "cannot be destroyed by battle", I definitely don't think they should ve banned. It reminds me of how some cards can warp how you play your own cards but in a good way. There definitely shouldn't be so many of them, though. Limiting it 2 or 3 would be perfect

[@cerdocucaracha3573]

You can get Raigeki from Master Pack, i remember getting one...unless it was a bug or they changed it recently

[@LeiChaobruh]

it's cause it's not limited anymore. The other two are literally only useful for dust if you could pull them

[@Shakazuki]

At 38:19 about the Raigeki: This is wrong. First, I obtained one Raigeki Copy through the master packs and second, when you click the card in the Deck Builder it tells you it can be obtained from the Solo Mode OR Master Packs.

[@maxt.2224]

One suggestion for “cant be destroyed by battle” cards is maybe limit them to one card per deck. Like Gage could have Vijam OR Naga but not both? I personally dont really care but i could see how it can get annoying after a while

[@UriaW]

13:45 what mbt doing here 😂

[@chrisschmidt5351]

Everytime I've seen ghost of a grudge activated it's a blowout

[@monkeylemur]

You should only be able to have 1 battle immune card. I think having more than 1 just allows the duel to last near deck out every goddamn time. Having only 1 means at least decks generally have 1 or more outs, so it's more balanced

[@randomgenretalk8151]

I don't mind players having monsters that can't be destroyed by battle but i think each player should only have one to prevent staring contest's.

[@hernandezaurelio95]

As a KPop fan I appreciate all the KPop cuts ❤

[@jimjams4787]

38:30 You can definitely pull raigeki from master packs since I have one in my masochist deck. I've never seen monster reborn and rota, so they might have just added raigeki to master packs when they semi-limited it

[@reidmoore8754]

[@Dio_kazuhira]

If when I see your video, I say episode, let's go", youre doing something right.

[@24isthebestyea]

I think if you pull "can't be destroyedby battle" cards you can't use them but you get another pack to open instead, or they can't be used after the 5th win per player

[@fireky3]

I think not only should you not ban the can't be destroyed by battle cards, I think if you're playing them you should ask "cards in deck?" every turn

[@peterusmc20]

So something to consider is that over time your 10 packs are less likely to contain cards as good as the cards you already have. The bans redress this a little I guess but there is a lot of room for some sort of conceit to increase the speed of the format as it continues so that the actual progression of the deck doesn't taper off. One option to stick with the analogy of the Mario cart race could be some sort of speed boost mechanic that everyone gets or each person has to complete a challenge or something for etc. This could be a craft to enable some engine that wouldn't otherwise work or additional packs or whatever else comes to mind (could even be a wheel). Another idea would be some monopoly style trades where every few episodes each player gets to trade 1 card with each other player and you all can negotiate what those are. Give a common for one archetype for a common from the other or choose to spite each other and trade some rubbish if one player is too far ahead. Regardless really enjoying the show so far! It's like a less painful masochist that gets to play against other masochists exclusively rather than selftk bots, swordsoul and dark magician. Hope it continues!

[@peterusmc20]

Another option since you all seem to have opened the packs with the free generics maybe you spin a wheel with them on it and get to run one for that episode only like picking up an item in yugioh cart.

[@Asd2897]

I think having cards that don't get destroyed by battle is fine, though having multiple in a deck may be a little much
