CLASSIC MTG Can't Beat a SINGLE YUGIOH Trap Card | Card Connection 

Thanks for inviting me to play I had a great time and would love to come back for another video

Great video! Somehow paying 5 mana for Snatch Steal doesn't feel as powerful as just activating it in Yu-Gi-Oh! regularly LMAO

So first thing I noticed: Bottomless trap hole shouldn't able to exile Darksteel Colossus, it should destroys then exile so something with indestructible is immune to it, a la how it works in Yugioh. (patron of the vein is literally the only example of this in MTG, believe me I tried to find another but exile and destroy at the same time just don't play well together in MTG)

I want this as a rom hack or something. This looks fun as fuck.

54:25 is really giving kaiba's "so what hope do you have against two?"

Oh I'm sorry I didn't know I was in the presence of greatness

W...wow I have never seen someone translate Yu-Gi-Oh cards into magic in such a great way! Its so good, you made new natural interactions (like the metamorphosis a face down card) that just sound so right tho Excellent work right here!

the extra deck cards could have been companions with partner, so that'd function as an extra deck.

For what I get, Relinquished turbo is stronger than any Magic deck from the era in exchange for being more inconsistent, but that doesn't really matter since the games are slow enough

this dude just did 85% of the work for universes beyond Yu-Gi-Oh..

Funnily enough, some EXCEPTIONALLY old cards in yugioh actually have Reach. During Duelist Kingdom in the anime, monsters can have states such as flying and a big part of Yugi's duel against Weevil ADDENDUM : better example is Mai's Harpie Ladies

lets be onest, Nate NOT reading the card is the most gi oh ho play also reading what Pot of greed do is a RULE even if you use 3

Yugioh fan here, your content is great. This is so incredibly high quality.

I was confused for a bit going "how doesn't he die to poison from blocking colossus with his face?" and then I realized it was darksteel not blightsteel colossus

I swear to god I click on a completely innocuous MTG video because I've been on an MTG swing lately, and get jump-scared by my own alt-format. I can't get away from it!

The Yugioh Cards in Magic style look great btw :) I'd gladly have a real live version of this goat deck :o

I really like the idea to somehow transfer Yugioh Fusion and ritual mechanics to magic. I think if done and thought properly, it could give Magic a new life and maybe a more interesting approach to card design and gameplay. Maybe even commander gameplay would be more fun to fusion summon your commander for a certain creatures for flavor. When I tried to design a small homebrewed TCG I tried to implement Yugioh fusion summons and magic tempo and resources system and it was very flawed but incredibly fun and had potencial if reworked properly. I had an "extra deck" with certain enchantments. For a "Endless Calamity" you needed Anger, Exasperation and Fear in your graveyard, which you banish, making a "contact fusion" of sorts. My idea was that Endless Calamity had a certain effect, but then you attach banished cards used for its contact fusion cost to the summoned card, and the attached cards add to Endless Calamity effect. And its was hella cool. A little bit of Digimon influence here, but I just really like stacking cards on top of each other and attaching them so they can develop into something new. I think a similar idea could work in Magic.

This was awesome! I really hope you can do other erras

You're a great speaker, really interesting to listen to, thanks for the vid! Fun to see the two card games that take turns occupying my brain interract like this, really like your design ideas

I feel like Snatch Steal should be changed a little, to be that if the Equipped Creature is destroyed you also destroy Snatch Steal. I know there were combos with Giant Trunade, but it felt weird it staying on the board after it died. Lol

Really interesting stuff! I only have the ygo perspective and am more of an mtg observer, but it definitely seemed like some of the costs and stats could have used a bit more tuning. The one that jumped out to me was wanghu hitting the 3 power threshold -- I'm curious how many cards in the format get hit by that compared to the goat deck itself. As well, wanghu not destroying your own goats seems crazy (especially considering how many games devolved into TER control), but I'm not sure what the implications are of it hitting any creature that enters the field.

Next episode should be "Yugioh trap cards can't beat Chalice of the Void".

47:14 In Yugioh, Metamorphosis "tributes" the monster as part of the effect

"I can't believe it. All of the meta defining decks lost to morph"

This and your six Samuri videos are the best conversion videos in the business.

I would say that for the Trap Card they should be castable from Exile for either their CMC or half rounded up in order to balance out that aspect, otherwise they become way too good.

Pot of greed is just black lotus

this man can single handedly make the best crossover in history if konami and wizards (especially wizards) werent being so damn stupid with monetization of the game

Now, what about hybrid decks using cards from both games?

this was fun. gonna go up in years from now to see what happens in different eras?

Not even a full 30 seconds and there's already a Veldalkan Shackles learning experience. Poor fella, we've all been there

Great and entertaining video, earned a sub

This is incredible!

I'd have metamorphosis treat tokens as having a cmc of 1, because Thousand Eyes is level 1 for a reason (namely being a retrain of a ritual monster) Conversions seem really cool though, nice job

After seeing the reaction of MTG players to some of these cards, now we need some pure tier 0 formats translated. I had to suffer through TeleDad, so do they.

There is a precedent for antimorph tech. We got karlov watchdog in mkm

That new taramgoyhf commander thing makes tokens with mana value 1G. When i made ygo mtg customs (including many goat staples and synchros from later formats) i just made the tokens have the ability that their mana value was treated as 1, etc.

Btw my other comments criticized some of the design decisions, but that was done out of love. This video is spectacular and i thoroughly enjoyed it and recommended it to my friends. Id totally want to see more like this from formats like hat or Meadowlands. And edison i guess

I liked how you incorporated Yu-Gi-Oh cards into magic cards

This is awesome!

magic has a trap effect you could have used that and give them no mana cost so there forced to use the secondary cast restriction

Black luster soldier's first ability doesn't work out because you can just exile a creature after declaring attackers but before declaring blockers, making the drawback unexistent

With the way you designed MSLV2, it can become MSLV4 by killing a face down monster, which is specifically not how it works in its Yugioh equivalent. It’s hard to create a true equivalent with how his toughness is 1 (accurate for a 0 def monster). The best remedy I can think of is to make him a 2/1 first strike instead, and to make the face down effect read like Kaldra Compleat

Excuse me sir, you dropped this 👑

I'm an idiot, I asked on an older video why there were no other episodes of Card Connection, not realizing this was a Card Connection episode.

With Modern Horizons 3 now tokens can have a mana cost (Tarmogoyf token is a 1G for example), so you could have made the sheep tokens have a cost of 1 and TER a cost of 1, so the weird interaction with face down creatures is not present.

Snatch steal should have just auto equip for free then had the clause to sacrifice it after it became unequip

If you do this again, how would you do XYZ? (If possible)

Fusions could just be stuck in the side deck, and poly can be: as an additional cost: discard cards or sacrifice creatures who's name are mentioned on a card you own outside the game: put that creature into play.

You mentioned the ultimate battle of ultimate destiny, I'm like a single voter issue, and you have my vote (like and sub)

Seeing the cards all over the damn place pisses me off to no end.

Interesting concept. Who knew if you print undercosted spells and put them against cards from 2005 you win. Could definitely use more work to make the Yugioh cards more in line with magic but not a bad concept

Wait till bro hears about chalice of the void

just the fact that you have to pay mana, changes the dynamic of a lot of yugioh cards... you can no longer summon, play trap and spell for free, add quite a bit of tactical component into the game...

I noticed a lot of stat oddities in the conversion. Like premature burial should cost 2 life for instance

I did something like this in Forge and it holds up very well...when it's not crashing the game that is because it's so hard to program it right sometimes XD

wow! this was cool!

what is this platform called, ive never seen online mtg that looks as much like the paper magic experience

Hey what software is that for playing please ?

It'd be fun to see how well the Goat deck handles full power Affinity or even decks from Onslaught/Mirroden Standard. The converted Yugioh cards are insane by 2005 Magic standards, so why not try a gauntlet of more powerful decks? Also, do't forget the changes that happened with mulligans and mana burn since 2005. Mulligans were very painful back then and Pulse of the Forge was so good because you could burn yourself before throwing it at the opponent and getting it back.

Sorry, what program are you using to play?

lol pot of Greed is strictly worst ancestor's recall, cost twice as much and get less cards

Im not sure how the Fortell cost of 0 is supposed to make sense here since the traps cant be played in any other way, meaning their CMC only matters for tutoring effects and all effectively just cost two colorless mana no matter which it js. I think they need a real fortell cost to not all be equally costed for such varied utility and power (you could use Mirror Force with zero white mana in your deck etc). Also if they want to play true to Yugioh then traps should suffer from summoning sickness somehow. I'd even suggest rather than exile them and cast from exile, they might function better as enchantments when facedown so Magic's equivalent to backrow removal (artifact/enchantment removal) can hit them. Other than that its a nice experiment.

Feel like the Yu-Gi-Oh cards were a bit busted, thus explaining why it cleaned floor with every other deck lol BLS being just delve 2 8/8 double strike is what hogaak wish it could have been

As of modern horizons 3 you actually can have a token have a mana cost if you use the original name of another card i.e. you could have scapegoat make zodiac goat tokens that would be 1/1s with mountainwalk and a mana cost of R obviously this is new tech that didn't exist at the time of card creation but its pretty neat new tech

Ez ygo sweep

39:07 pal already embraced the Yu-Gi-Oh core culture piece- not reading cards Edit: 40:38 Ah so mtg players are as braindead as we are!

Why not make the traps and quick play Spells become facedown permanents that you turn face up like using morph or manifest. Have the cards not be creatures but coloress facedown enchantments that can flip themselves to activate effects and if it wasn't originally a continuous trap the enchantment would sacrifice itself after resolving. This way you can also simulate the yugioh backrow removal in mtg as well being able to more easily target and interact with them.

So what happens if you dropped peak Tearalaments Ishizu into modern MTG would it ruin the format or not do anything at all?

Why is snatch steal an equipment? Doesn't just straight up fit perfectly as an enchant aura, like control magic or something? I feel like it'd be a perfect fit as like a 3 mana control magic that just gives your opponent 2 life each upkeep. It should also give haste for yugioh flavor! I do want to note that I love the idea of this video. The other day I turned my favorite yugioh archetype of all time, tearlament, into a magic "archetype". Obviously adding mana costs to the cards and all triggers, but I still think that it's a super cool idea for a playstyle, especially since nothing like it exists in magic. The closest thing is probably dredge, but dredge is so unbelievably far from a control deck that it's difficult to say they're similar other than the fact that they both like to mill themselves. I've been thinking about doing so with several archetypes over the history of the game and printing them out using a proxy website, then turning it into a cube. Tho I have to ask - where/how did you make your cards? I noticed, especially with cards with higher text like saryuja skull dread, that you were able to fit a monumental amount of text on the card. I used MTG Cardsmith, which unfortunately has a pretty limiting text box.

equating foretelling to setting cards face down when you have mechanics that synergize with the exile zone seems like a tremendous design mistake equips should not be actual equips, they should be auras - especially snatch steal, which could have been equated to magic's staple 'control magic'

All mana values are funky 2 mana for snatch steal is too little, when all other steal cards are 4 mana

One of the best decks the game has ever seen VS mtg decks that happen to align because of the year they were played. Though, I get why there isn't any p9 shenanigans. You came to play magic, not spectate it.

One of the most consistent problems I see with Yugioh -> MTG conversions is never using mana for anything other than the baseline casting cost of a card. Of this entire "set", the only activated ability that isn't completely free in terms of mana is Snatch Steal, and that's all the more perplexing because it should be an Aura in terms of how the card actually plays, not even being able to put an actual "equip" ability on it because that wouldn't be compatible with equip spells being able to target opposing monsters in Yugioh (and not being able to re-equip afterwards). Like, you realize all these "Foretell 0" trap cards just completely ignore the color pie, right? Why would something like that ever get printed? Same for every special summon monster here, with the chaos monsters being the most egregious for not even asking you to pay mana to cast a fusion spell first.

good movie

No matter the game, Book of Moon always overperforms

Imagine if he made library FTK or reasongate in magic

The only reason it can't "win" is because the custom cards are overtuned lol? Magic has so many removal options it makes yugioh a joke. Not to mention alternate win conditions.

Someone get this video to MBT, I’m begging

Snatch and steal should have just been a 5 mana mind control enchantment having it be repeatable is silly. As it clearly only worked once in yugioh. Dust tornado shouldnt be able to destroy artifact and enchantments while also being modal to move cards out of exile while also cost 1 mana, or 0 cause of foretell and being at instant speed. Trap dust shoot should probably be at 7 not 4 since it desgined around starting hand size being 4 not 7. Having seen the end of the video yeh being able to mana cheat with foretell was busted as was being able to heavily mana fix with them. The creature balance was slightly skewed as you identified, but otherwise was a intresting watch.

Can you try modern YGO vs modern magic next time?

1:01 get draw four card.

Fusion is literally just meld.

snatch steal wouldnt be an artifact, and it wouldnt be green, and where does it say in ygo that you can reuse snatch steal? so why put that effect on the mtg card? it prob would be a red and or blue enchantment for 3 mana (maybe 4) with the effect of taking control of target creature and giving the opponent 3 life on upkeep

So you made OP cards for MTG out iof Yugioh cards... Lol

I dont get why you made the life costs so high Premat pays 800 lp which is 1/10 your starting life total in ygo. Why wouldnt it pay 2 life in mtg? Duo is 1000lp cost, so why not pick between 2 or 3 for mtg?

Magic has trap cards to my knowledge didn't they?

The ironic part of Metamorphosis getting haste: in the Manga and Anime, during the Battle City arc, fusion summoned monsters couldn't attack the turn they were summoned.

I am so happy this video exist. Because it shows how much broken yugioh already was at the start. And how much different was the power level in comparison with other card games

Well yea, Yu-Gi-Oh is pretty much like Vintage Magic. It's broken as hell, lol.

The Magic conversions of trap cards shouldn't really be Trap type. The Trap type in Magic implies there's a cost reduction to be made if the conditions are met. Archive Trap is free because the opponent searched their library, for example. Mechanically I suppose it doesn't conflict, but is a huge flavor fail

The trap mechanic is really janky and exploitable. They should just be like morph but instead creatures they are artifacts. Single use ones get sacrificed and the continuous ones don’t.

Also since yuigoh doesn't have rotations at all your probably should have been matched up against a vintage deck not a standard deck.

yeah i'm not exactly sure what's going on, the sudden jump cuts and the never actually showing what any of the cards to make this pretty unwatchable tbh

power9 solos youll never get a turm

Dustshoot is also OP in Yugioh XD
