Yu-Gi-Oh! 2017 YCS Seattle Finals - Noah Greene vs Alexis Rodriguez - Zoodiac vs Zoodiac

[@Azdrerios]

Zoodiac vs Zoodiac. Great. Welcome back to Dragon Ruler format, boys.

[@MegaMachiOnline]

Azdrerios more like Shaddoll x Dragon Rulers because it's being splash everywhere

[@sebastianraphaelbiggs127]

druler format did have spellbooks and evilswarm

[@Azdrerios]

why Not Just like this format has Infernoids and Kozmo. Case closed.

[@tristanalain9239]

And Pepe Format, and Nekroz format... SO we have had what? 3ish Teir 0 formats since ARC V began? That's scary. I hope the new rule changes actually fix the game and slow it down a little.

[@SpicyJalepano21]

which was probably the most skillful format in the history of yugioh

[@rozetg9233]

Skill is real in yugioh ppl, look at Noah's calmness, how he picks Alexis apart even tho Alexis argubly had superior turn 1 hands, Alexis played awful game 2 pressure is real, reminds me of Cimoo holding that torrential and d-Barrier vs Billy, who was also calm as hell compared 2 Cimo who definitely looked pressured, ppl say zoo, nekroz ,pepe , run themselves but shit throw a maxx c, orge, vieler, dd crow etc and watch and see pressure it applys. Knowledge of meta, deck building, spicy shit like chalice, spirtual swords, OG mirror force, making all the right logical plays round after round so difficult. Even tho Noah lost he should have been 2-0ed by many players logic of opening hand meaning everything, & emptiness stealing g1 was crucial, but great commentary Cap & interesting match

[@ShatnersProdigy]

Watching Noah Greene without him playing BA just feels wrong. How is my man gonna style on his opponent with barbar if he's not even running barbar? Yugioh is truly dead

[@wildwest8069]

Thank Koonoomiacs (The Zoo Maniacs at Konami)

[@Walrusxyz]

Erik Christensen won a the NAWCQ with Domain Monarch and YCS Dallas with Infernoid

[@TeamShaggypatriot]

This Alexis guy really was not very good with the deck...he drew insanely well and thats what got him there. Congrats to Noah for being the clear best player in the finals.

[@rg205029]

Alexis should've Twin Twistered the Raigeki to prevent Starlight from completely resolving and prevent the Stardust from coming out.

[@rayonxv1253]

hindsight

[@Nick_Rodriguez444]

rg205029 yeah definitely should've twin twisted the two Greene just set

[@GGtheRealest]

Nick Rodriguez yeah, but too late. In That play tho, road has to destroy the card. If he was a good player he'd have twistered his raigeki and moved forward.

[@phillicheesestake]

you do realize that you would still get the stardust dragon even if he twin twistered it right?. they changed the card text on starlight road when it came out as a gold rare. before you could destroy the card that starlight road is trying to negate and it wouldn't get stardust because starlight isn't the one destroying the target, but now the card text is changed that it doesn't matter. As long as starlight road meets it's activation requirements it would fully resolve no matter where the cards go.

[@Nick_Rodriguez444]

phillicheesestake no but Noah just set the starlight so Alexis could've twin twistered it on the end phase

[@Toni_Padrasto]

Noah deserved to win. Alexis scrubed the fuck out on game 2

[@amity4600]

Alexis missplays and wins

[@Zikerrock]

"Me have big monster. Me attack." Bitch I havent laughed so hard in a while.

[@prestonjenkins7089]

Chris Bowling has also won Nationals and a YCS/SJC.

[@josemadriz5716]

I used to play test with Alexis all the time, he is a really good player.

[@McNetDeck]

he didnt show it in this game

[@josemadriz5716]

@@McNetDeck yeah I think this was his first major event showing so I think the nerves caught up to him, and Noah is no slouch.

[@XenoKensei]

wait shouldn't terratop be banish when he atk dracnia? unless chalice negates it?

[@brandonchandra5461]

LSSJKensei Uchiha chalice makes it no effect, the banish effect from attached whiptail is considered as drident effect

[@XenoKensei]

Brandon Bremeer I thought so. Going to pick up some of that card.

[@slayves9990]

Duel Links is slowly but surely catching up to the TCG. We actually just got Forbidden chalice. Such a noice card

[@elbimio4u]

Cancer vs Aids

[@alexanderespinoza]

The better play might've been to pop the rat once Alexis got it out whether it's ss'd from barrage or normal from tenki

[@eclypx3628]

Why Strike the Ogre? Ogre doesn't negate. You activate the Barrage so it's face up on the field. Then you activate it's eff and Ogre pops it but eff still resolves...

[@sharkodile22]

I won't lie, I'd be a little salty if I was Noah. Seeing my opponent literally take a gamble and win would salt me just a _little_ bit. Both players were playing fairly equal decks so GGs and all that, but I feel for Noah.

[@iryuk5610]

Kumo Noah drew/topdecked nuts all day long, so I don t think he cant blame luck turning to Alexis side lol. Noah played really good (better than Alexis) imo tho

[@fery088]

Kumo well at the end of the day it is still a card game

[@sharkodile22]

Yeah, I know. It's awkward for me personally switching between fighting games and card games. In a couple ways they're similar, in most they're night and day.

[@iansinclair6002]

Cap pllllleaaaaassssseeee do a new top 10 budget decks it's basically a new format and I would really appreciate it and I am sure many other would your content is amazing and my favorite content creator on KZbin thanks!

[@ethan7359]

Just wanted to note Cap, and I'm sure it's been said before, but if Alexis had Slumbered in that instance in G2, Noah could've just chained the Drident to pop itself and make it to where Slumber won't resolve.

[@TheFireFistBear]

Noah Greene reminds me of Austin Powers lol.

[@BlackSaiyanKing]

Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Bear Austin Powers new son for the 4th film👌👌👌

[@1stnameever]

Alexis is such a bad player - so many mistakes and yet he wins with a 50-50 blind cyclone.... totatally undeserved win. He is the living proof that in this game all you need is luck and less to no skill....

[@thatoneguywho3434]

1stnameever Well thank God for link summoning then.

[@1stnameever]

Amen brother

[@1stnameever]

In this particular game the skill from alexis was absolutey absent . He just drew better and got lucky on the other hand Noah played much better so i feel that he deserved more to win. And how can i be in top cut of YCS when i dont even live in America :D . The game takes skill but alexis proved that even with a really good hand he can still fak up. I am judging on what i saw in this clip. And I've seen Billy play and he doesnt do such silly plays as Alexis so that is way he tops he has skill more than luck but in this case Alexis had only luck. That is my opinion. And yes I have topped multiple regionals and a national tournament in my country we just dont have YCSs so i dont have YCS tops.

[@alexisrodriguez8138]

1stnameever I was also the one who knocked out Billy Brake lol

[@1stnameever]

You should have bought a lottery ticket that day :D

[@Gawrdian]

Noah Greene for sure the better player...it's just the luck that costed him :/

[@algol8659]

Rodriguez on some next level plays lol

[@alessandrogaming]

Why does the blade get a 2nd att if the att went through on drident

[@matevosvachyan5494]

AlessandroGaming - Fifa KZbinr thorough attacks drident, drident activates, my body is chained destroying drident, drident is no longer on board, a replay occurs

[@amvnumber1018]

19:50 how the fuck do you pass on a hand like that in a format this fast

[@user-uk3py]

What does first place win?

[@prehistoricpkmn8372]

Did I miss something? When did My Body as a Shield become something that everyone is running?

[@darkarkeyblader7502]

They save their Drancia from most destruction or monsters in general from Ghost Ogre.

[@BUNJIN40K]

PrehistoricPKMN Zoo is really easily disrupted and My Body saves you from being stopped by stuff like toad, ghost ogres, Crystal wings, and obviously other Dridents.

[@daivanfueledbyvenega]

PrehistoricPKMN Kaiju Slumber Drident raigeki dark hole twin twisters lost of destruction this format

[@Lassiterdc]

Zoodiac Ratpier was in 30 of the top 32 decks.

[@TomPlaysGames1]

Hi comment 3 years later Eric christiansen won a ycs with infernoid then won 2016 wcq with domain monarchs

[@Lorddrake4444.]

ugh zoo I really hoped Billy would take it with the infernoids but I guess welcome to t0 format boys

[@Shione_Starlight]

lorddrake4444 it was still a zoo variant......

[@Lorddrake4444.]

Running a nine card zoo engine isn't comparable to the over 40 infernoid cards as long as it isn't pure or kaiju zoo it ain't zoo to me

[@Shione_Starlight]

lorddrake4444 over 40 cards? lol that just simply isn't true. I don't think you understand that the zoo engine within it's own deck isn't even that big. The deck is allowed to play an insane amount of traps,hand traps and tech cards because of this. Which is why it's so good. They have a lot of one card combos with cards that get to the one card combos. It's aloud to have a minimal engine with an insane amounts of stun cards. Adding another 30ish cards doesn't count for it not being a zoo variant. It's OWN deck is zoo plus 30ish cards. 60 card infernoid does not have over 40 infernoid cards in it. It's a zoo engine with terratops, grass and grass staple mill cards (example:fairy tail snow) these do not count as infernoid cards because these types of cards go in EVERY mill deck(zombies, Lightsworn, Skull servants etc.) with an infernoid engine in it aswell. It's still a Zoo variant whether you like it or not.

[@fuckwatyathinkimspikedadar3469]

they need this in Miami Florida And i will be there with my CYBERDRAGON MIXX DECK

[@tarikfretes5970]

was adam korn the yugi muto in real life ?

[@welook4you328]

This is why i love Yugioh!

[@TheWinterPhoenix]

Moral of the story? Throw Zoodiacs in your deck, it will make it more competitive.

[@MrHellsing1055]

Also Ahmmad Khalil won a YCS and a Nationals

[@richardfreire3199]

Kinda hard to win when your opponent has maxx c in all 3 of his opening hands

[@ragnarokddd2458]

How did they got there? that first game maxx c sucked

[@TheNutshaq]

If konami decides to release a ban list, can we hit Zoodiacs HARD please

[@Instinct_JM]

''I don't understand why he's upset, he threw the game away'' - MegaCapG everybody

[@matthewdavids3668]

With drawing scythe can't he pop it with drancia?

[@higherstatusfitness4645]

Matthew Davids no drancia can only target face up cards

[@naunghtonwilliams6946]

Why couldnt he chain sanctum on cosmic cyclone in game 3 to summon scyth

[@matevosvachyan5494]

naunghton williams he did it during end phase

[@hantossedpotato4895]

He couldn't slumber the solo drident... Noah would just chain drident to pop itself and then slumber couldn't fully resolve, so no kaiju's, also idk if I would've used reigeki on a solo drident either

[@josh-do9kq]

wtf are they doing with the cards in their hands? looks like they are rubbing them

[@username5107]

It was Erik Christensen

[@chuckdastump]

I prefer purple sleeves. I do main a Dark Magician deck though

[@chuckdastump]

I also main Starlight Road and double Mirror Force. Both(technically the three) have saved me many times

[@mushiana1476]

He played two cosmic cyclones, sanctum would still be gone and and monster has nothing to pop cuz ARod had nothing the field,

[@arcadegamer1465]

He should of slumber when he had a stardust then ghost orge stardust when he uses the effect

[@Marcez168]

Arcadegamer 14 ghost ogre would be useless since stardust tribute itself as a cost to activate effect

[@crazydragun1]

They 100 percent had some long days the way they were playing lol

[@Shione_Starlight]

I GOT XYZ UNIVERSE CAP AND IT TILTED ME SOOOOOO HARD all day.....I broke through a board of drancia and 5 backrow except one card and he XYZ UNIVERSE ME and I lost the game......

[@dushbagg1]

Game 1: Alexis wins because Noah bricked. Game 2: Noah wins because Alexis fucked up bad. Game 3: Alexis wins because of a 50/50 lucky shot. lul

[@jamesgutro4200]

Cap what's honestly really funny about you saying next year well be able to xyz just by playing a spell is literally we now have waking the dragon which actually let's you play an xyz.

[@naturalTHEATER]

to this day i think this is the worst somebody's ever played to win an event lol

[@sostreight]

is this u paul ?

[@Instinct_JM]

A-Rod, the worst ycs winner of all-time.

[@Instinct_JM]

not to mention worst haircut of all-time

[@jacura2staffordcity877]

Alexis is mad because the amount of money you have to spend to play this deck.

[@frrmrr4314]

Jacura2 StaffordCity im new to this game, how much did he spend probably *-?

[@CallMeNevermore]

@@frrmrr4314 Late comment, but $0 because he's sponsored

Your comments... omg.

[@eded94]

rewatching this after all these years and still some of the shittiest zoodiac play ive seen on alexis’ end LOL

Alexis ran 3 starlight roads in his extra deck why does he need to re read it

Why are u trash 🗑

[@yinglo3270]

why didnt he use maxx c earlier round 3 ... to plus when he dropped the treratop ? alexis deserves to lose playing like that ... and game 2 was omg .... he sucked
