Yu-Gi-Oh History w/Joe Giorlando: Merchant Pot Turbo (2005)

[@topcutsonny]

This will never stop being one of the best channels on yugitube. Such an insane depth of knowledge.

This was the only time when I was playing yugioh semi-competitively, so I’m very fond of these cards. It would be great to see a warrior toolbox profile, as that was my deck of choice back then!

A few years ago I found and saved an old OCG decklist of essentially Merchant Pot Monarchs. It was a bit later on, when Treeborn and Dandylion (OCG got Dandy years earlier than us) were both not on the list yet, but that deck was super powerful. I like to find the decks / decklists that are mostly likely to have put cards on the Forbidden and Limited list, and I am pretty sure that it put Pot of Avarice, Dandylion and Treeborn Frog on our, at the time, combined F&L List. Also, the deck would have probably had a showing in the 2006 Video Game Championship, if Dandylion wasn't bugged, being a Warrior instead! So it was Forbidden in all major tournaments for the video game in 2006.

been loving the recent videos because it reminds me of the old yugioh days which have been the best imo. decks were fairly consistent, you had to grind for a win and most likely the better player always won. theme decks and power creep ruined this once best tcg for me but i love going back to the memories. thank you joe

I haven't played much Reaper Format stuff, but from my own research it's rather fascinating. Say, I would love to have you on my Yugioh podcast sometime!

[@m1das11]

Glad you’re back friend.

[@Herbstmann]

I approve of the little Avarice prop. Nice touch :)

[@TheMagician3000]

I am enjoying your videos, thanks a lot. I am a casual player so I am learning a lot about yugioh history.

[@ThanksFriend]

Talking with the Pot of Avarice in your hand cracked me up

[@YGOHistory]

I mean.. I had to right?

[@Roarkallos]

Your cards always look sooo good on video, what sleeves do you use?

[@YGOHistory]

Honestly, just cheap Ultra Pro Black. I sleeve all of my collection binders in them because they are cheap.

[@lounowell4171]

Merchant will skip over Kuriboh/fuel Avarice too, another perk over Waboku

[@NorbertNahumEvreuklovic]

Double mobius WAS bad in this format and he s still is💯💯💯 Also goats n sorl?? No thanks, minus 1 cards.

[@NorbertNahumEvreuklovic]

Also no future fusion? 🤔This is literally the best card of the deck... Whatever. Sorry man but this deck list isn't solid.

[@UTgohan]

First 💪🏼💯
