GALAXY PHOTON - Ten Minute Testing 

Honestly, I think if he just said "y" instead of "and", then it would've sound better..

The sand is probably the only thing whiter than those two on that beach

​@@AnuxeLand thats only because they're already red as tomatoes from sunburn

8 days left.

Sometimes we can play through disrupts/handtraps and somehow end up clogging our boards with rank 8s and sometimes we open 3 GEPD, a Vanisher, and a Lightning Storm when we're the turn 1 player.

Galaxy-Eyes is 100% one of those decks that loses to itself more than it loses to its opponent

"bricks harder than Blue-Eyes" As someone who pivoted from Blue-Eyes to Blue-Eyes/GalaxyPhotons to just pure Galaxy/Photons, I find this patently incorrect. Even before all the support they got, pure Galaxy/Photons could drop two level 8s much easier than Blue-Eyes could, with much less investment.

@@aliesterus1.023 It doesn't brick _as bad_ as Blue-Eyes, but it bricks pretty bad. Source: I've been forcing Galaxy-Eyes at the locals and regional level since Duelist Pack: Dimensional Guardians reprinted Prime Photon Dragon in 2017.

I wanna smoke whatever you're having if you think Galaxy brick harder than Blue-Eyes.

Because there are like 2 staples in the main. This list was all engine cards that people who don't play the deck won't know what they do.

@@carstan62 also like every card was like exceptionally long textboxes

​@@passtheyaoialso just a lot of different single cards compared to a lot of multiples

@@carstan62Also its on 11 main deck 1 ofs

Cards that have so much text but don’t do much in all honesty. I thought about trying this in master duel but gave up on reading for the day😅

Yeah imagine going to an old format ycs kekw

Don't forget Number

Number C62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon represents 5 archetypes on its own @_@

@@MrGeorgFTW Number is kind of a super archetype that tends to cross over with other archetypes regularly. So I suppose it counts, with a bit of an asterisk. Although Kite is the Number Hunter so I mostly agree with you, even though he's by far not the only Number focused duelist. Almost all the main characters had a Number at some point.

YET IT WORKS and is so much fun it will always be my favorite deck

Yeah I dunno why the TCG allowed for that to work but I'm not complaining one bit lmao

isn't the ocg/ master duel ruling just wrong? the card states "you control" and not "currently control" so it should act retroactively. Maybe this is just from translation error and its too late to reverse it so the tcg side just went with it lol.

The Japanese card doesn't mention "currently control" it just says "Light monsters on your field" I guess I'd have to compare it to another card that has a similar effect to see if the wording is different.

@@ahirugaodoreru check the ruling section of Cipher X in the OCG by going to the official database, opening Cipher X and change the language to Japanese. It states clearly that it protects what's on the field at that moment only. OCG cards do not have strict PSCT like the TCG, hence their ruling sections are so detailed. They try to answer any common question they can think of. For anyone being lazy, here is the original: 【①の効果について】 ■フィールドで発動できる起動効果です。 ■対象を取る効果ではありません。 ■『相手の効果の対象にならない』は自分のモンスターに適用される効果ではありません。(処理時に自分フィールドの光属性モンスターが他のモンスター効果を受けない状況でも、相手の効果の対象にならなくなります。) ■処理時に自分フィールドに表側表示で存在していた光属性モンスターが、相手の効果の対象にならなくなります。 and my translation About the (1) effect (the effect that protects the monster from being targeted) - It is an Ignition effect that activates on your field - It does not target - It applies to LIGHT monsters you control by the time it resolves (which means it does NOT protect monsters that comes into the field afterwards) - The "your opponent cannot target LIGHT monsters you control with card effects" part does NOT affect the monster. As a result, if you control a LIGHT monster being unaffected by monster effects while this effect is activated and resolves, that monster can still not be targeted by the opponent's card effects. www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=4&cid=15854

@@quangduybui2181 I'm not disputing that, I'm just curious what other cards that do a similar effect say in the Japanese version of the card that actually works the same way in the TCG.

I'm 99% it was official that it's getting a reprint, but I can't remember what set

@@achilles8283 Reprint confirmed for the Battles of Legend set next year.

I mean, yeah. The fact that going first is way better is a problem, but that doesn’t mean a deck that can only go second is the solution. You’re going to be going first and second in yugioh, not one or the other. The game doesn’t need more going second, it needs more balance between the two

It actually can but the list is ass and is worse in both turns due to the ratios

@@Greyhoundsniper this list literally topped like a week ago

@@NoxiousAffection yet this was dog water ratios, for example 2 braves

form me i ALWAYS lose when i go second. it honestly seems to do better going first. also i exlcusively play galxay eyes. i just think going second is a genuine problem. by that point my opponet has so many negates i can't do anything. that or i just always brick going second

Galactikuriboh is also a perfect Small World bridge to banish from deck.

give me your discord and i can make your deck not brick as hard

We don't talk about the main deck Ciphers.

@@GoneRampant I have now looked at the main deck Ciphers and I agree

Yeah there was hardly any commentary there

I ran it as I wanted to eliminate bricking as much as I could, specifically for hands like you saw in G3 against Kash. It's definitely something you could cut if you're a braver man than I 😅

@violetprison5478 I’d been running prosperity for a while now, mostly because I felt like I was bricking more with trade-in. But I changed my list recently so I think I’ll give it another shot.

We have TWO CARDS that search any card. 2 monsters that search spells/traps. FOUR monsters that search other monsters. We literally only need tachyon transmigration to be searchable

Yeah, as a galaxy/photon player I think it can definitely be edited to add in some more non-engine but I'm not surprised it managed to top at all.

@@thebirdprincess for sure, there’s def room for improvement but it’s still very solid!

@@StriiderEclipse At least this list saved use from a bad TMT.

@@thebirdprincess It can (and I personally do in MD, with Roach and Friends), but it also makes the deck significantly more bricky. As you see in game 3, I'm fairly sure the cards he boarded out were the Trade-ins and that makes it *really* hard to unclog your hands.

I mean a regular ghostrick list is the same as the surrender button tho.

That's because it is it does all the same things as Blueeyes but with a longer combo.

@DrAiPatch I wish master duel would give us alternative ultimate, I would play blue eyes non stop

same

Ikr? Retrain accelight please!

Recursion effects in general are common in modern yugioh. joseph just downplaying the hell outta it.

@@blackfiresprout His problem with it was how slow it was, but he forgot how we actually had a couple of decently slow formats during the time that Optimus Prime Dragon actually became good.

Dont use this decklist. it sucks

photon sanc is decent, not too important to the overall line but yea, the decklist here is questionable

@@blackfiresprout I mean, I don’t entirely disagree, but in my head, it’s a starter that isn’t as easily messed up by handtraps as most others

the deck doesnt brick nearly as much anymore

And dude acting like monster recursion isnt still a thing in current ygo 🙄

Yes, change up massively by not being played at all.

@@dracoblizzard7944 nah they'll change by turning into a pure stun deck

kash is dead, jim

​@@iamtearabyte4595 they don't have enough interaction to be a stun deck.

@@DrAiPatch what I mean is, they'll start slapping a number of floodgates and become what runick stun is. Funny enough actually, I've seen a lot of kashtira runick stun in master duel. But I'm certain that's only a master duel thing
