Hello Duelists - my name is James, I play a LOT of retro format Yu-Gi-Oh... and have been pretty successful at it. I'm here to share my knowledge about how I approach the game, how I've taken down recent tournaments, and learning new strategies while we're at it. Expect deep-dive strategy content, insider reports from other top players, and the occasional tournament stream. ❤
Jiraiyakid here, wanted to say that I played 2 icarus instead of 3 because I dont have 3rd one irl, I had barely managed to buy the deck for my birthday.
There are some real tips you can gather from this video once you get over the violent part. People don't like when you tell them their card choices are bad, but it's the best way to make them improve. Great content, I'm just sad no Machina decks made to the top cut.
This vid was great 😂 I'm kinda glad now that I bubbled x-2 so I wouldn't get shit on for cutting solemn in BW. At least I didn't cut down on Icarus lmao "if you're loading this deck in an actual tournament in 2024, you hate yourself and edison and probably should find a new hobby." I was not ready for that 💀
James, your content is great but can you please invest in a mic? I know you probably dont care but cant finish most videos cause the audio is annoying </3
I helped zinesha in building the list he brought to DDV. The one instant fusion choice was an attempt to reduce the number of bricky hands, as we decided to play trunade instead (which is often like a 2nd storm). Along the same line he kept the 2nd vortex trooper to unbrick dead hands in early game, a choice the worked pretty well, looking at his replays. I don't get why not playing trunade in the main is ok while not playing double instant is not. I think we're just not completely sure about the 2nd instant in the side, the main idea was to have a way to play under DDV.
Honestly I get the build 100%, 2nd trooper for consistency. The side instant fusion I could see being used to side out the vortex troopers against blackwing/glads.
“If you’re loading this deck in an actual tournament in 2024 you just hate yourself and Edison and probably should find yourself a new hobby” dam I didn’t even make top 16 and got called out 😂😭 this video was hilarious tho LOL loved it
