Yu-Gi-Oh History w/Joe Giorlando: HAT (2014)

[@spoonflaps12]

I remember the weekend after Korey won Nationals, I was at Super Games when he asked who had a Kamionwizard. He wanted to playtest Infernity for Worlds. I gave him mine for free, but he insisted on passing me $5. In early 2016, he said hello to me back when we topped the same regional and still remembered that transaction. Nice guy overall.

He seemed like a really nice guy, i guess even he realized that infernity was the best deck. I think even in his deck profile he mentioned that hat shouldn’t be as good. Also, Kamionwizard is super expensive nowadays. I still remember pulling one and keeping it because it was an anime card, glad i still have it. Probably not getting a reprint in the near future.

He bought a whole stack of Joey’s world singles from my buddy back when he worked for the store for a lot more than they were worth. A class act all around.

RIP Korey

[@rogue_to_competitive]

this channel is so informative and artistic at the same time. Keeping all cards mostly in there old prints and old high rare prints with black sleeves which i think is the best choice to make the focus on the artworks themself

[@YGOHistory]

One sleeve for all my collection binders is essential for this channel.

I really loved this format because this format was slow paced and allowed for some testing of random flip effect monsters. Some of the acronyms were pretty funny too.

[@NinthSettler]

the last great yugioh format

[@Cashmoneez]

After mermails, dragon rulers, and spell books HAT felt like a hard reset of the power of decks which was really refreshing

[@HecticNicksCorner]

My favorite youtube series by my favorite yugioh player.

[@undeadburg4803]

Right on time, I am building a hat deck and appreciate all of your insight.

[@Talls8]

The truly last pile of good monster decks. Love the flexibility of this deck and how many different card choices people would make with it.

[@aaronburroughs1442]

The video quality has gone up so much in such a short time. I was just looking at the first DAD profile you posted. great work

[@YGOHistory]

Thanks! I am trying.

[@uncool9000]

Probably the best format for competitive play

[@jonathanhagins1137]

Great Meta call, I was very fascinated with this one

[@nicholaskoehler104]

Have been buying back into this format in paper as I remember it very fondly. Thanks for the great content Joe! I second the suggestion for 9/2013 fire kings. I played the hell out of the deck and would be happy to shoot over a list

[@GagReflexSwagReflex]

I did pretty well with a Fire Fist deck this format I really liked the amount of player interaction this era had, like the way you had to inticipate your opponent's Hand or Moralltach plays as you mentioned

[@tomdavies6933]

Will you be doing more on the 2012 format? Possibly a hero beat list from post Nats?

[@wookee159]

Xyz Infernity 💯

[@YGOHistory]

I need to pick up the cards for that and I already did synchro Infernity… but eventually!

[@andreanardi2514]

There is one top deck missing form the radar: raccons (1st in cuteness)

[@LyumKid16]

Can we talk about fire kings in spring of that year though. With 3 rekindling

[@YGOHistory]

That is a deck I have never used BUT I am willing to take a look at it.

[@Cherryking14]

I topped an ARG with Fire Kings :) love that deck

[@999spot5]

that deck was always scary

[@Fabi-qw1ms]

Uhh.Nice🤩

13:44 Compulsory is at 1

[@DigiSean37]

Yeah most of the 1-of traps were limited this format. That's the actual explanation for them being 1-ofs here lol

[@SolracXCV]

Moraltach doesn’t target so cairngorgon won’t work
