​@@tlkfanrwbyfan8716 Even "Eternal Loving Protector" sounded better imo

[@xCorvus7x]

@@Sassaparilla The Japanese original name uses German words with the same disregard for inflections that could be expected from any foreign speaker, and since they do so deliberately, they could have gotten away with that in other localisations as well (maybe even in the German one, to express that this name was given by someone who doesn't speak German which might be true to the anime or whatever). Besides, they disregard grammar rules with very many names, and not just in German, if the name follows the structure „[proper name], the [title]“ because they often omit the comma. In German this is particularly bad because our articles are inflected and some inflections for different cases are spelled the same (verbally you'd mark the difference by intonation/rhythm of speech, and in writing you'd use a comma to clarify that the [proper name] is followed by a title that stands in the nominative, not some genitive phrase; aside from the part after the article also being inflected accordingly, if it's actually a genitive phrase). Though, they've done worse than ignoring punctuation in their localisations.

[@The2bGaming]

Damn, my girl Leah catching strays before the deck profile even begins 😭

[@andleepfarooqui7874]

Given how Yubel used Sacred Beasts in the anime, i think it's reasonable that the sacred beast support might have said "level 10" instead of "Uria, Hamon or Raviel" in a few places because of them, making it more like a designed synergy :3

[@dr8ke_142]

Its insane that this deck is already very very solid, and that you can also play it with the new Fiendsmith cards which are also very very good (and definitely my new favorite engine in any fiend deck ever)

[@TrinityYGO]

First few seconds are accurate. Before every Yubel video I make, I do chug a few beers and sink deeper into my German spirit

[@tlkfanrwbyfan8716]

It took so long for more support but, as a sub watcher, they’ll remain forever loved.

[@mastrblastr8662]

I'm extremely happy with where Yubel is rn. I've been using a "normal" variant like the one in the video, but I also like playing with a larger Unchained package, as it doesn't have as high of a ceiling, but it plays around interruption better IMO. Very hype for Phantom to see this deck become a major part of the meta.

[@touriian8371]

So basically yubel is getting a lot of love. Duel links had neos kluger for a while and now she’s got crazy tcg/ocg support.

[@lordflarus]

I like how he pronounces it as a mix between “Varudras”, it’s new name, and “Valdrath”, it’s old name

Damn, its like Mikanko but without all the equip spell baggage Or is it more accurate to say that Mikanko is like Yubel but with a bunch of equip spe- y'know, i'm probably overcomplicating this

[@diegourbina5083]

Mature chronicle helps play around droll and nibiru but honestly he did pretty well just playing through them or living through them.

[@goldlink567]

My favorite deck in years, I played with a Yubel deck about 10 years ago and it's how I went from playing bad anime decks to bad rouge decks. Right as I was thinking of getting into Edison to play Yubel there, all of these cards got announced! Been keeping up to date on every decent list of this deck, and I gotta mention that it can play Promethean Princess. Some people are playing the burning whale or sunlight wolf with it, but I prefer Duelittle Chimera to add Sharvara back to hand to pop Princess and unlock yourself out of fire without the opponent's help. And if you still have Yama in grave you can use it during your opponents turn to bring back Yubel to battle lock them. MBT's list here isn't bad, a week or two outdated with what people have solved, but pretty good. My main complaint is that the deck should be running the Unchained trap to reborn Rage from grave, because you should be linking Rage and something like Sharvara into something, and then using the trap to reborn Rage so it's playing around board breakers. Shifter and Skill Drain do still hurt the deck, but they hurt almost every other deck way more. I also personally think it should have Mature Chronicle, it's a great extender if you open it or Grave Squirmer and it can non-targeting pop problematic cards... also you know, search Super Polymerization. Which is arguably it's 3rd worst effect depending on your list. Then again I'm just not playing a "Super Poly" list, I'm playing Super Poly but not as the main strategy. And Eternal Favorite is just to slow in my opinion, if I have a choice to search it or Mature Chronicle who can only reborn OG Yubel, I'm going with Chronicle since it can do it that turn as an extender to play through Nib or something. You can also play Colossus by including 2 bricks, but the extra deck is fairly tight and Colossus is either a win more card or kills rouge decks. Which is why I'm using 3 slots in the side deck for that package, it's not good, but it's funny. (I never side it in.)

That last turn of the last game where the opponent tried to crash a 0 atk into another 0 atk reminds me of all the times I've been playing Ritual Dogmatika and end my first turn with my opponent having one of my Iblee, while I have all def pos monsters and a 0 atk Almiraj. And then it takes them 20 sec to realize "wait, why can't I special summon?" followed by them going to the battle phase and trying to crash Iblee into Almiraj... except 0 atk monsters don't crash, they bounce off each other.

Best Side against Yubel: Chain Disapperance. A trap that, when your opponent summons a monstet with 1000 or less attack you play and it banishes that monster and all other copies from hand, field, and Deck, this could be a good side to use going 2nd and if timed right can probably slow the deck down enough while dealing with some of the key cards like Samsara, Squirmer or the Yubels

[@danslitadventure]

I was playing my Yubel deck on paper yesterday and my friends were debating whether or not I was allowed to crash my Spirit of Yubel, Yubel, Yubel - Terror Incarnate into their monsters with Nightmare Pain like this simulator shows because the card specifically says "When this card is targeted for an attack.... blah blah then deal damage to your opponent equal to the opponent monster's attack". They were trying to say that since I was targeting their card for an attack then technically my Yubel monsters were not the target of attack. I tried searching for legitimate rulings because they just kept telling me the simulator could be wrong in allowing it. Does anyone have any links to official rulings to prove that I am in fact allowed to crash my Yubel monsters into theirs during my Battle Phase?

[@KenjiAsakura09]

bro, your friends are just salty that they got otk'd. The last line of text from Nightmare Pain states that your opponent takes any battle damage you would have taken from battles involving your "Yubel" monsters.

Still keeping Yubel an LGBT+ character but in a different way

[@ConductorElcrest]
