Why Was ABC Tier 1? - Yu-Gi-Oh!

[@BladeYGO]

Thanks for watching everyone, I hope you enjoyed! Make sure to like if you did! :D Also I can't believe I didn't mention the ABC GOD Calvin Tahan, make sure to check out some of his deck profiles if you'd like.

Pls do video how zombies are anti meta

[@lunadachi4792]

You forgot to mention Destrudo ABC with Ravine and AFD (plz stay banned) early in MR4.

[@sauravbharatam2132]

Have you heard of a to z?

[@jonassilva2099]

with Destrudo banned, maybe we can get back Ancient Fairy Dragon limited (probably with a errata). xD

[@RevzCards]

Is this... consistent uploads? The mad man actually smashed it out, v proud of you

[@BladeYGO]

ayy thx my man! Also I'm as shocked as you are 😂😂😂

[@stepheng6349]

ABC is a great deck! *Konami proceeds to ban Ancient Fairy Dragon, limits Terraforming, limits A-Assualt Core (got it back), limits Buster Dragon* At least Mothman and Gold/SIlver Gadget are still at 3 for draw power?

[@spicy7724]

In my new build of ABC, I stopped using gold/silver because it was 9/10 be negated. However, mothman is quite good.

[@chaos_blue1089]

[@peteryanes9339]

Yup n a card to brilliant fusion I play both it made the deck really good nu always can go into busted even turn for sure wish they will u nban both of the cards

[@scalchopwarrior3298]

Why was ABC top tier? Because it’s easy as 1 2 3 It’s simple as Do Re Mi A B C 1 2 3 Baby you and me now

[@KingLazy93]

booo

[@scp0535]

Pure beauty

[@scalchopwarrior3298]

Ah, yes, my PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Dragon-Buster

[@lunadachi4792]

Was... ABC really 2016? God I’ve been playing longer than I thought.

[@spicy7724]

Dachi T. Yea same. It was my first real deck since I started the game in 2017 and the deck was affordable as hell. Now (just like every other deck), I use crystron to linkcross to mecha phantom beast link three and I’m pretty sure you can guess from there

[@purgatory1022]

Still mad that ABC-Dragon Buster is limited to one. I just got back into the game not too long ago and I had really fun with the deck.

[@blenderowl6495]

All decks die someday except for Dante, Dante is immortal

[@Trynottoblink]

And they limited Toadally Awesome too, I was pissed.

[@price102]

Please Konami, put ABC Dragon Buster back to 3 (I know there are apparently some busted combos with the new support cards) but please cut the deck some slack

[@spicy7724]

OPG77 Honestly! The deck is not even remotely busted with three buster and support. It’s just consistent and good

[@MasterJongXG]

Like bruh, compared to the Tier 1 decks we have now and the tons of negates we have right now, I doubt that ABC can keep up with them (if ABC was at 3)

[@Flexy59]

I started playing yugioh competitively when striker, orcust, salad and thunder Ds were the top decks (last summer) and eversince i got to hear about cool decks from the past like zoodiacs, ABC and what not and i really hoped that with MR5 some of these decks would at least see some experimentation, but with this one specifically, konami didnt allow that whatsoever and i dont like that at all :( great history video though as always, keep it up BladeYGO!

[@muazyusof765]

Flexy so you just said about zoo and ABC. I hope you also heard about the terror of Tele-DAD.

[@Flexy59]

@@muazyusof765 i've heard the name but i dont know about what it did etc :( looks like i have to look into that

[@str8a]

Oh hey, it's like I meet the other me here XD. I also just started competitively similar with you and still learning how wonderful/ menacing old meta was lol

[@connorb1775]

This is my personal Favourite Archetype, I love playing it and hope ABC-Dragon Buster either becomes unlimited again or atleast semi-limited I also hope they don't hit their support cards, because it's not necessary. I will admit the deck isn't that strong but it's fun to play and I love it's theme/aesthetic

[@pinkdelicious655]

Im sure it is as yugioh players are paedophiles

[@johnnywilson3071]

It had a very strong resource loop which could be consistently accessed and most decks during that time could not handle the loop without running out of resources quickly.

[@francisbartoszewski2284]

Remember when people thought ABC could compete with Zoo, then 1st event Zoo got 27 top cut spots 🤣🤣🤣

[@eduardomtz9916]

I remember when I first built the deck and then A assault core got banned 2 days later.

[@TheMangakid1995]

So I know that these cards came out in a Kaiba themed deck but in my head I always associated them more with Chazz from GX not least of all because the three main deck monsters match the colors of Ojama trio and he once used the VWXYZ cards in the anime. I also tended to pair the Electromagnet monsters that came in the Yugi deck with Bastion for similar reasons.

[@SirNilooo]

You should do a video on the return of SHADDOLLS! 🙌🏽😁

[@lordquaz7154]

I'm here to remind myself of how ABC continues to get shafted by Konami. A moment of silence for Union Carrier.

[@michaelnelson1127]

While the flexibility and speed of the deck is admirable, I mainly like the cards for their design. I loved the design of the XYZ cards and their ability to combine (power rangers may have been an influence), so seeing a new line of combining unions made me fall in love with them all over again. I even like the design of A-to-Z Dragon Buster Cannon, and I honestly think it would look even cooler if it was redesigned as battle armor. Has anyone else though of that, or am I just weird?

[@greenhillmario]

I only realised today that abc doesn’t ONLY summon its materials. Granted you never will summon anything else but still This is a deck that was the wall to my initial entry to the game. I’m honestly kinda laughing my ass off every time I see it get hit, just a bit less than when I’m laughing at draco players when they get hit, but I do feel a little sorry for ABC players still

[@BitZMoment]

abc is still broken. One card ABC buster w/ union hangar, or go into infinity + apo, apo + abc, or all three. The deck is good, just no representation

[@armaan9766]

@@BitZMoment union hangar is a one card infinity + buster, thanks to photon orbital. The deck still has good combos and turn one boards, but now the follow up plays are pretty bad because of the buster limit

[@CrimsonKobaNakirigumi]

Yeah, I remember when I returned to yugioh a few years ago and I only mained Ghost Reaper because I was scared of Dragon Buster.

[@theduxabides9274]

8:53 *Mentions Union Carrier* "Wait a minute, I know this one, this is a classic!!!!"

[@pedrorivera9640]

But detaching an xyz material is not treated as "from field to the graveyard". It was the same thing with Tour Guide+Sangan that konami had to correct people on. And tour+san predates ABC.

[@LJW1912]

I enjoyed ABC because it was a budget-friendly option for locals. I bought three of the seto kaiba structure deck, added a couple of tech options and had a respectable deck for £30, which was nice

[@deankinsella3579]

Where's A to Z dragon buster cannon in this video

[@leobardoviramontes5587]

ahhhhhh i remember buying the structure deck. good times

[@peteryanes9339]

U forgot fairly dragon and brilliant fusion I play both it made the deck really good nu always can go into busted even turn for sure wish they will u nban both of the cards

[@MACHEW_WingDestiny]

Am I the only one who liked playing ABC synchroes in YGOPro before?

[@chargebladeygo6889]

Sounds like ABC where your boys at one point in time

[@neooreos1263]

Konami, September 2018: *hits ABC for a stupid reason*I Also Konami, April 2020: I'll fucking do it again

[@dynastywarriorlord07]

ABC-Dragon buster, Masked hero darklaw, Mirror jade the ice blade dragon, and Ultimate conductor Tyranno are hands down the 4 best boss monsters that came out of structure decks

[@VinceOfAllTrades]

You make it sound like the decision to limit Dragon-Buster was completely arbitrary, but weren't they running wild in OCG for about a month and doing some nasty FTK setups with all the new support?

[@lunadachi4792]

Unrelated, but it never made sense to me that people were so afraid of ABC and Paleo going into MR5 like they weren’t at full power in the TCG the entire time they existed. Paleo had 3 toad, 3 grass for a long time in the TCG and was just another good tier 1 deck. Same with ABC. 3 of every piece, 3 Hangar, 3 Buster, 3 Terraforming the entirety of MR3. If anything, the decks (pre april 1 banlist) got WEAKER than they were in their prime.

[@lunadachi4792]

Also, where’s all the Bahamutoad people were saying would destroy the game?

[@aztheking6280]

ABC Bustanut dragon

[@sapphicashley5124]

And now union carrier has been banned, another blow to ABC players LMAO

[@someperson8569]

Incase you didnt know, once drivers out, hangar is a 1 card combo into dragon buster and infinity

[@OmegaRpg953]

Great video love this series its so fun learning about old decks and they were teir1

[@darkalbervideos]

Loving the videos Blade! Would maybe like you to add to them maybe some deck profiles of when the decks were at its peak vs current ones to see how much better or worse the strategies have gotten. Keep up the great work!

[@BladeYGO]

That's actually an amazing idea! Will definitely look into that! Also I'm glad you're loving the vids my dude!!!

[@franciscojuliangomezlara5679]

It has always been Union Hangar

[@tonyjr7986]

This series is underappreciated.

[@theskullboy8700]

This whole story is just Konami pulling the reverse card on abc. Kinda like matpat with anything related to fnaf

[@wyomingptt]

I always wondered why ABC wasn't better during Link format. The Link summon kinda helped the deck to some degree. I remember many times sending all three pieces + something else for a Link-4 triggering all the A,B,C effects then when your done you summon Buster Dragon for free. I guess it just still couldn't complete, I love the deck but it's kind of a one note thing. Also, why isn't Union Carrier locked into machines or something???

[@heroking3197]

Remember kids you learn your ABCs in kindergarten so you should all know how this deck works

[@dontawanpitak]

Now ABC is back at 2!!!

[@gracefulcharity8412]

Before even starting the vid I liked it and I already know this is gana be great !!

[@julian354]

The only locals near me that had these in stock on release was only selling the structure decks as set of two for tenets dollars. Even worse, my friend and I had a regional that weekend. Needless to say we both ponied up the cash for the terrible yugi decks😭😭

[@SpritePony]

Hey, just a quick tip here, don't have that transitional music so loud. Compared to your voice, it's absolutely BOOMING. I had to turn down my volume when it came up so that people wouldn't complain about the noise.

Oh gotcha, my apologies my dude! It'll be fixed for the next vid.

[@jofx4051]

They can have board with any 2 cards when Knightmare Mermaid still exist (they still can right now with Scrap) Ridiculous access to monster which has no cost like Galatea and That PK link monsters Ridiculous Xyz monster that can be summoned with a link material Also Orcust monster that is fucking splashable at any given deck (especially Harp Horror, make it needs to go) The field spell that grants quick effect to Orcusts And many more
