ICE BARRIER - Ten Minute Testing 

Watching my opponent try to activate certain cards or attack without reading ice barrier floodgates is peak entertainment 😂

Genuinely, I don't care about whether its mid or not, what I do care about is that the new support is designed immaculately; they actually let the deck go into its intended win condition (Ice Barriers actually being a barrier to your opponent's plays) while threatening with bosses like Trish at ANY point. That's just good card design.

I think my favorite thing about Ice Barriers is that they're the unholy amalgamation. A perfect marriage of everything Stun Andies hate about combo decks, and everything Combo Carls hate about stun. You wombo combo for sometimes quite a long while... to get your walking floodgates to drop on the board during your opponent's turn, then freeze them out of the game unless they have the very specific out to what you're doing. ...then if they DO out your engine... you float into a treated-as-synchro-summoned Trish and banish 3.

Legend says he’s still throwing ice cubes to THIS day!!

Imagine the icehitting the window noise playing though the ENTIRE video softly in the backgounds. Probably at some volume you wouldnt really notice unless you had headphones on.

I always and I mean always say mbts opening when he does videos. And when he did not say I'm mbt and this is 10 minute testing. I started having a mental break down

You forgot to add Royal Knight of the Ice Barrier

one of my favourite archetypes ever not because i think its good not because i think its bad so i wanna be different but just because i love theri artwork and they arepaired with my actual favourite archetype, Dragunities

8:28 "this is why we don't play Branded anymore" against the Spright deck....

Ice Barrier now can easily summon their synchro boss monsters and maintain their niche of being a floodgate-esque deck with their main deck monsters. Against certain decks, they are powerful, but against others, it can struggle. The almighty D-Shifter and Kashtira cards would make this much weaker in practice, but against most other decks, it will fair pretty well.

Watching MBT play decks you actually know about fills you with the same level of despair as watching the heat death of the universe

Fun thing to note Georgius also locks your opponents graveyard effects while he is on the field with another ice barrier

"Whoo, nice to see Ice winning during Fire format." I hope they make Atlantean support, because the Animation Chronicles video gives me enough hope for that. We even got some Water cards, hm? Hm?

They did in fact, make them playable after X years

As a Crusadia player yes drawing 4 is VERY good especially when you can draw into 3 ways of interrupting the opponent

My favorite deck ATM. Beautiful synergy

Great angle on that skit MBT, it's perfect for the energy being given

I've always had a soft spot for Ice Barrier. Glad they are finally up to snuff.

Ice Barrier is my favorite Water archetype (followed by Paleozoics), so I'm glad it's getting a TMT that it's jank very much deserves.

Revealer is so funny. I had a match against a Floo player and she legitimately just could not out it lol

0:01 Bruh, why is Joseph showing us Jillian's pov?

The year is 2039, we play Yugioh with actual holograms and MBT is still throwing Ice Cubes out of his window.

If that isn’t the yubel experience idk what is. 3 garnets in the opener and a duplicate of the starter.

It’s still hard to believe that Ice Barrier is not only good now (relatively speaking), but it’s actually an interesting deck. Normally I really don’t like floodgates, but the Ice Barriers are just strong enough to make it challenging for the opponent to play without being oppressive. The board it puts up is very beatable, but if they mismanage their cards they can end up with very little gas in the tank. It’s really cool to see.

Any reason why we aren't playing Graydle Dragon? An offensive alternative to Crocodragon that is better at breaking boards going second and Mirror Master makes it by itself

Honestly its just cool to me thay ice barriers are in any way playable now. I had fun with a memey wetlands deck bsck in the day but knew that they were never a good archetype. But they did have some of the best aetwork in the game imo which is why i loved them.

Her pov be like: 0:01

I was about to post "Jaxel bet you to it" but I heard the intro lol

What a banger intro Joseph. You inspired me with that good throwing form.

I still want to make ice barriers. Not new ice barriers, not even structure deck ice barriers. I legitimately mean the original really shitty ice barriers.

I’m not sure how optimal it is, but I’ve been messing around with an Atlantean Ice Barrier list I found on an OCG forum a few months back and the combos are pretty crazy (even though everyone in the comments was just laughing at the guy). Instead of using revealer as your starter you play Deep Sea Diva (summoning Neptabyss). The lines change based on what extenders you have but the basic idea is that you dump mirror master with Spright Sprind and then do the full ice barrier combo after having resolved Minstrel and Moulinglacia.

Small complaint but instead of swap frog I’d use icejade vanegarine since for the same cost it’s an instant lancea

YESSSSSS!!!! I been waiting for this one!!!

"I summon Hexa, foolish Mirror Master, summon Speaker, Synchro into Mannadium Trisukta-" "Please leave the kitchen immediately"

THe lore for ice barriers is that someone dies and someone else tries to revive them, sort of failing and melting the ice barrier which creates the gishki right? Then the gishki lead to the creation of the ilswarm, who lead to shaddolls and the qlipfort, who then lead to the zefra and the morphage?

Wow Konami really went “How do we make Ice Barrier playable?” “Make a new deck!” 😂

Holy crap someone remembers...... that floating block thing

I’m always shocked when I see any reference to deck check in the wild because I personally view the show as a tax write off and assumed all the views were bots

my favourite deck finally gets something approaching love

Ice barrier is its own barrier to playing

Never did I think a day would come that ice barrier is playable

oh no, duel links is turning real

you know what MBT, i dont even LIKE or play ygo anymore, i just love your fucking banter to your editor and the way you break shit down

KNACK TWOOOOOOO KNACK TO THE FUTURE KNACK IS BACK BABY

I thinks it's very funny that this marks the second water tribe from duel terminal lore that got a recent wave of support that was playable in spright. Maybe in a couple years we'll get Nekroz of Gigantic

Thanks Joseph! 😁👍

My question is why are water decks just floodgate turbo? Umi stun, Icejade, Ice Barrier. It's like that's just "the thing" konami thinks primary water decks should be.

Hey where’s the most popular ice barrier royal knight?!

I guess they took the criticism to heart and made it do much better

15:57 that person is gonna be happy

KNACK IS BACK BABY

im happy they are finally playable and it looks pretty fun too!

They’re FINALLY playable thank Christ

Someone call Rata! He can make more Royal Knight callouts!

One cool thing is you can go Mirror Master > Ib > Coral dragon all from the tokens he summons.

I like how it doesn't even occur to MBT that a big buff birdman is probably not actually named "Gorgeous".

The worst part of this video is when Joseph made me remember that Knack was a thing that happened

Deck check mentioned!!!

To hammer the fact that ice barriers sucked, I should point that he played only 3 ice barriers from the original wave of support, which are general and warlock and medallion. So they didnt make ice barrier good, they made it from the ground up

Banger skit this time

Bruh that opening I thought something else was happening lmaoo nice pov

Ice is nicebros we are SO back

7:02 that's just halq and linkross shenanigans

Looks like I need to get the Ice Barrier deck again and play it

Oh wow actually good content

so im presuming were not getting the spright version of this for tmt :(

deck 👏 check 👏

Ice is my favorite attribute.

General Raiho my beloved

Mbt is genuinely just funny af

I still own the structure deck cards 😮

Can't wait for non-Snake Eye Noids.

Let's gooooo

If only the creator of the Duel Terminal DDM saw this 😔

Don't forget swap frogs return for cost, you could return a georgius just to summon it again

Finally my ice cube throwing has paid off

Hell yeah.

0:06 Did you know: Technically all Ice Barrier Monsters are playable

Intro is so funny

LET'S GOOOOOO

Please god let Ice Barrier become good! The aesthetic is everything I've ever wanted in an Archetype, and I just want to play a deck I like!

I SCREAMED I LOVE ICE BARRIERS! PUSH THE EM TO MAIN STREAM!

Chrococo dragon should be in the extra monster zone. To give more space for Lancia to summon

If you already sent mirror magic master to the grave, you should use Hexa to dump the level 3 anti-spell. It gets the brick out of your deck to revive with Georgius

I like to imagine dough playing frogs influenced this deck.

The first 3 seconds are my fantasy POV

@MBTYuGiOh Which card were you reffering at the start that's an option for Turboing Lancea? General Wayne the lv.5? I can't quite catch that

Icejade synchro turns off shifter if you played ran it only hurts your opponent ruling check in judges lounge

Horus package with these guys goes crazy btw

I'm confused what the duelist in the 2nd duel was doing? Could've either banished or attacked over the level 4 Ice Barrier with Fenrir but just leaves it there unless they were under some attack and effect activation restriction then they messed up. Tried playing this with a bit of a ghoti core with Arionpos, keef and shif and some fish extenders for some higher value plays with better followup depending on some hands you can go Arionpos instead of Coral to search keef and three draws if you open the princess alongside speaker, freezing chains, medallion or george, keef itself is an excellent disruptor and advantage generator since Arionpos doesn't care about being synchro summoned to get its search effect, the bricks it introduces are a bit of a pain and accommodating fish does eat into your non-engine quite a bit but it does give the deck options into shifter.

Finaly this was my favorite deck from the star and now people wont laugh at me for plaing it

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR ICE BARRIERS TO BE GOOD, YESSSS😭!!!

I don't mind the amount of effects of the Ice Barriers, it's my favorite deck I already know all the effects of the ones that exist. I'll need to add the new ones.

One of the only times that I wish Konami did drop the ball instead of making the stun deck competent, lmao. Nice video, though. Good showcase.

A archtype i wanted to be good slowly getting there 😂 now they need a ash poplar wombo combo

ice barrier have lot of good card. the only problem is that until the recent support, there virtually no card that actually tie them together as a deck. led to member of the archetype used individually in other deck instead. the other thing is that many player using them wrong way. when using ice barrier, player supposed to fill the board with em, limiting their gameplay and gradually depleting opponent resources and only synchro to push for game. common mistake player do is that they synchro summon too early, resulting in numerous removal of ice barrier floodgating eff

KNACK 2 BABY!!!!

Tha Speaker gave me Rimuru and Ranga vibe lol

Every knack reference has to be a dunkey reference

Oh so should I trow rocks untill they make more adamancipators?
