Joey Vs Weevil But It's Modern Yu-Gi-Oh 

is your family okay though?

@@goggleheroomegamaple820 Everything is going fine now thankfully, its just been a rough year but we're getting things back to normal.

wiiiiiild meta run

Wait why didnt he just Nib Joey?

@@jayku1624 By the time he was summoning more, it was the Battle Phase and Nibiru couldn't be used.

WE LIVE IN JAPAN?!

Liking this comment because we has the same reaction.

With all the discourse about Maxx C going around in the community, it does feel like an Egyptian God card sometimes lol

I mean with how powerful that card is may as well be

Ban maxx c in the tcg plz.

​@@ratzelbarreto2070It's banned in the TCG but not the OCG (Japan) or Master Duel

In the ocg structure manga, the protagonist has a near panic attack after being hit by maxx c.

When I was learning modern yugioh each turn took me like 30 min 💀

Tbf that's also the average time it takes in the anime anyway

Or magic blue

@@majickman if they make an anime with real decks they would need to play control decks or skip steps like in ocg structures manga. otherwise there would be no time for the dialogue...then again anime had duels that took as long as goku vs frieza in namek

5 minutes for his turn and then Joey cant get 1 second into his turn before Weevil is doing some bullshit again

Hello Mr blue tron

Holy crap it’s Marinecess Blue Tang

Go away

Momo blue tron looking ahh

Hello marincess guy

Cmon man traptrix has won twice *in a row* in japan sleve popularity pool, put respect on other people preferrences.

Yeah he even threw diabellstar overboard we all know yugi was gonna end up playing Snake eyes

I wasn’t that surprised- though I would have preferred to see him run Beetrooper or Battlewasp, it still somewhat fits him as it is an insect deck and this is a more modern reimagining of Yugioh. I wonder what Mako and Rex will run? Ghoti? White Aura? Transcendosaurus??

@@r3zaful Not if the preference is weirdly sexualizing fictional children

@@pvzbronygodgaming8476 & that's a good point, Beetroopers are a fairly modern & very fun deck, but also... the bit was just too good to pass on, you get that right?

It is always fun when they do these gimmick duels in the anime. I know Jaden had a pretty entertaining one as well in GX Season 2, fighting against a guy who's whole strategy was to cause a deck out, and then reversing it if I recall correctly.

​@@chromasus9983what about the dude who only used exodia that was Hella gimmicky

Fr fr, who out here running battle fader

Archeologist*

He's only 31

Not to mention despite being a very modern, very strong combo deck, it’s also a synchro deck,

​@@Oban2006 honestly it's killing me to tho :') 👍👍 I'm just 30 on last year December but when MD relase i played Odd-Eyes Deck >> meanwhile now sometimes played Labrynth sometimes played Yugi's Knight & Slifer Thunder Speed Summon tho (X'D / Meanwhile me when still on 28 played Syncrons and Odd-Eyes deck on DL just feel easier then played Syncrons on MD tho :') 👍👍

makes sense he had innthe games a rock deck based on the exxod starter.

Actually there is something funny I saw no one point out. People mention Niburu can't be activated during the Battle Phase. But D.D. Crow could have stopped Colossal Fighter.

@@phantom-ri2tg Weevil didn't have a DD Crow.

@@Raphael4722 That was my point. The meta hand traps like Blossom failed him where D.D. Crow would have saved him. To further this point if Joey had Blossom instead he wouldn't have been able to stop Weevil's graveyard effect.

​​@@phantom-ri2tg But colossal fighter activates in the damage step so you wouldn't be able to use crow Also crow is still not a terrible handtrap but ghost belle would have also done the same thing and is more "meta"

We sound like Yugi's friends commentating in the back.

That would have described what he basically did with Exodia tbh.

Thank you I was wondering about Nibiru I thought maybe it was because he was summoning the same monster every time and there was some weird wording that precludes it from working, never ran into that situation so I didn't know it didn't work during the battle phase.

Colossal fighter's effect was taken into account, CF starts out with 2800 atk. Joey only had 2 warriors in the grave, which made it 3000 on summon.

Ah damn I misremembered it being 3k baseline

so basically weevil using pot of desires lost him the duel

@@spiritpyros it's literally a -9 and that's why nobody except Gren Maju players are running it

"what the fuck are *time rules* !?!"

As in XIV, the only HP that matters is the last one.

You know, seeing how power creep and no "mana" mechanic ate the gams from inside out i wonder. What will be the next game mechanic that will degenerate?

@@schwarzerritter5724 yeah solemn judgement mind-set.

​@@Shadethewolfy oh you're low on health? That bars still in the green get back in there!

@@louis7059 no, hard leg Joe and team Samurai

Yoooo more anime duels plz Zexal preferably

What the fuck SeeReax Jumpscare

I don't play YGO but I do play MtG and it was pretty fucking hype realizing Joey was going for an unconventional mill plan.

@@mads_in_zero Same. Especially the lines no one sees coming. Once decked out a 4 player commander pod in mono white. Been chasing that high ever since.

@@mads_in_zero it parallels a moment in the original series where Yugi does this to the big bad of the season, in which he's up against an unbeatable Egyptian god monster, which a lot of people fondly remember as being very ingenious and a testament to him being the real king of game, that even someone wielding the power of a god can't beat him. It's funny that the way they present Maxx "C" being activated is the same way they did with the Egyptian god cards, and that the win condition is the same: deck-out. And funnily enough, when this happened for the first time (in the manga? I think?) they had to change the rules of the actual OCG because it didn't originally have decking out as a loss condition, or so I hear. It's truly a highlight of the story, one of the best duels in the arc for sure, and I'm so glad this parody unironically uses the same "cool factor" of finding an unconventional way to win against what seems like an unbeatable advantage.

This really sounds like a line that they might say in the show.

No it doesn't.

I'M ACTUALLY KICKING MYSELF OVER THIS COMMENT!!!

@@RedMufflerMan To be fair, I absolutely love the line you did pick. Probably my favorite line in this video. "Get back my FUCKING QCRs!!"

Thought the same thing, but a swim in the ocean works too.

@@joanaguayoplanell4912 *EVENLY MATCHED INTENSIFIES*

Bring on some experts in the modern meta that could come up with some creative duals with lots of twists. Then you just get some good voice actors and writers for the overall anime, and it could definitely be good!

There already is Yugioh OCG Structures which is a manga which is based on the actual game and uses actual meta decks. Like there is legitimately a real climatic battle in that based on the protagonist having to overcome Maxx C.

@@interdimensionalcommunicat9750 that manga is fun, but it also stars kids in elementary-middle school age (though they JUST turned old enough to be high school freshmen) and it's targeted at the same demographic, so while it's cool to see real modern cards, the rest of what's going on is kiddie in a very vapid way. Like yeah sure the anime we grew up with was made for teenagers too, and 4Kids unironically did make it more kiddie and dumb, but it also knew to have real stakes and big emotional character arcs. OCG Structures' character arcs are mostly just about the protag being a ball of sunshine and helping mend dysfunctions in the character relationships between those around him, all of which he solves within the course of 1-2 duels. Well that and the Tour Guide from the Underworld getting a better paying job. They'd have to do better than OCG Structures to make an actually hype anime, but sure, the building blocks ARE there.

I've said for years that a Yugioh anime (or, really, any TCG-based anime) could be really interesting with "real" duels. Literally just make each character a canonical deck, have AI play their decks against each other, pick a good duel and dramatize the events. Slap a story around it, enjoy your 95 academy awards.

Vrains or even Arc-V have many anime decks that made it into the meta. It is indeed very possible.

The Yubel boss battles would be insane too

GET YOUR GAME ON!

Destroyer Phoenix go brrrrrrrrrrr

The show would take too long

agreed!

Right?

This may be "racist" AF towards accents, but he kinda reminds me of Jeyce from DBZA

It isn't racist lmao ​@@datstift610

@@datstift610 Um... How? This is based on Joey' 4Kids Dub. And 4Kids gave Joey a Brooklyn accent which pretty much became a stable of English staple of Joey at this point.

His consistency is approximately 0 though, there is like no other circumstance where he'd won.

​@@janisir4529 It never stopped the anime

Noticed it instantly.

@@ItsConnerKing True, but I'm just disappointed his modern deck is still trash. It fits Joey though I guess. At least he didn't pull a Yusei where he summons cards from thin air to place on top of his deck mid-duel.

@janisir4529 As Kaiba said he's a third rate duelist with a 4th rate deck

True but at the same time, certain characters have to run certain types of deck. Kaiba not running Blue-Eyes and Weevil not running insects is just odd haha

​@@joelww2501 Traptrix actually IS an insect/plant archetype funny enough (maxx c is also insect). Kaiba is just updating "anime meta" (big attack go brrrr) to real meta so pretty much in character, he is the only one relying on skill and intellect in the anime and not heart of the cards BS.

@joelww2501 yeah, but now blue eyes got new cards, so strong to break the meta.

I also really like that he used flame swordsman, a card he did have, and comrade swordsman of landstar, a retrain of one of his old cards which he used against weevil

@@CL361 I've also noticed that too

@@CL361 to be fair that was like the only one. Most of the monster card artstyle was fantasy(minus toons)... until gx. Theres plenty of cool fantasy art now as well but theres a lot more silly/cute/waifu/powerrangers compared to old cards. I mean i dont personally care

@@MrAw3sum "to be fair that was like the only one." No, she wasn't There's D.D. Warrior lady, Eatos, Mystical Elf, Injection Fairy, Thunder Nya Nya, all the Charmers, all the Harpies and more. I understand that in the current times there's more waifu archetypes/monsters, but they were there since the begining.

@@CL361 Technically Charmers were added in the same set that introduced Elemental HEROes and Ancient Gears, which makes them GX-era. The rest of your point's still valid, though.

@@CL361 is eatos before gx? I agree that injection fairy and thunder nyanya have that anime style waifu art. But dd warrior lady and harpy lady/1/2/3/sisters look more like fantasy comic book art fanservice. I guess that still counts. Edit: hahaha wooow harpy lady 1 was originally super fanservice but then they put a body suit on her. Thats so wild.

it's literally just a -9

Which, when you think about it, is kinda like Yugioh...

I want to know what they all say.

It's easy to forget, but it's honestly super-useful sometimes. Outs Maxx, makes it impossible to lose to battle damage if your opponent doesn't have piercing, and... yeah, that's basically it. Two very specific situations that it solves.

@aBlackMage my foot is slowly getting better, thank you! it's in considerably less pain than it first was.

​@@sen-aveeAwesome, that's great to hear! :)

A bit of dialogue to remind people of nibirus main phase restriction might have been a good addition though

This is honestly a big reason I make these videos, to show how cool modern Yu-Gi-Oh can be so this has made my day, thank you 😭

I don't know if they're still doing the promo now, but there was/is a promo where if you have a friend who already plays give you a referral code, you get a Swordsoul structure deck for free (not enough to build a properly constructed deck, but it saves you a ton of resources and you can easily look up a list to figure out how to finish filling the deck out.) If you're checking it out, see if that promo is still going on, and see if you can find a friend to give you a referral code. I quickly peeked online and I didn't see any definite confirmation that it's still running, so you might have missed the bus, but hopefully not since Swordsoul is a REALLY good starter archetype: it's powerful but its combo lines are relatively straightforward, the effects on its monsters are pretty easy to understand but are a step up in complexity from the 5D's era, and it's a synchro deck so if you're familiar with 5D's era mechanics then you should have little problem piloting it, and even if not, synchros are easy to learn and the Master Duel tutorials show how they work.

@@RedMufflerMan I really hope Joey's speech gets turned into a short on your channel at some point. A lot of people need to hear it and it's delivered really well.

I'm gonna warn you that MD might be really frustrating if you don't do some research. Watch some videos about the game, try to find some friends willing to play low power, and for the love of Ra get ready get ready for some of the BS decks that exist right now. The game's fun, but the learning curve is brutal.

@@MercuryA2000 Thanks I’ll look into researching. Any recommendations for other yugioh games to get me started?

_Yeah, I don't think you should be talking about "minor" anything._

Yeah, I played the game about 3 years ago. It fell down hill unfortunately, and their attempt to digitalise was a complete flop. The game is great fun to play but there's just too many issues like FTKs (death before enemies first turn) and Floodgates (cards that disable an entire mechanic, such as spells)

@@ProcuredHatit quite literally has the best online sim out of any card game that has tried it. Ftk’s are gimmicky and inconsistent. The game has changed a lot since it first came out- and every card game has stun cards, it’s not a great point for why the game is bad. It’s just a really hard game.

@@monarchy028 FTKs aren't gimmicky and inconsistent, they've been meta defining and at times tier 0 across the games lifespan. Turns can take 30+ minutes and the game runs with a mishmash banlist that allows Maxx "C". I played TCG for several years competetively and enjoyed it but I moved and I was unavailable locally. if you actually want to play Yu-Gi-Oh online competetively then play dueling book.

Me: "Hehe, Weevil is going to steamroll Joey's 2004 era deck." Joey: *activates dark ruler* Me: 🤯

It can be done I used crooked cook and left hand shark together making a monster that cannot be affected. Or destroyed and proceeded to watch a combo player play 47 turns constantly trying to destroy my monster until I drew exodia, on Master Duel. Damn that was satisfiing! 😎😏

...Shouldn't Joey be losing 300 LP every time he crashes into the Kaiju?

@@H3y_Im_Robas long as weevil has 23 cards or less left in his deck then Joey would survive with 100 lp

@@H3y_Im_Rob he does. starting at 7k LP he can crash 23, and special summon back, times before running out of LP. With the kaiju and FS special summons, that comes out to 25 draws. Weevil started with 5 cards in hand, used PoD to draw 2 and banish 10, then searched 4 cards from his deck during his turn, so his deck should only have (assuming 40 to start) 19 cards in it when Joey's turn starts. (I actually thought this was impossible too until I remembered he opened with Desires. That card is unironically a -9.)

@@flaming_water8603 I did some quick math and yeah, it's plausible for Joey to survive if Weevil's deck is between 40 to 42 cards. He starts with 5 cards, banishes 10, and searches his deck for 4 cards so there would be 21 to 23 cards left in his deck.

As long as you go in with an open mind and are willing to learn I think you can have a good time

Basically there's a mini event going on rn where everyone is given a code to give to new/returning players so both the code giver and user receives a swordsoul deck swordsoul is a deck that is extremely easy for newcomers while also being good enough to get you to max rank if you combine them with Tenyi's which you'd have literally no trouble getting so if you're gonna start I'd think it's best to do it before the event ends.

I'd definitely recommend watching some videos about modern yugioh. Get some basic familiarity with how the game has evolved before you get into it. Because the game is VERY different and the learning curve is kinda brutal. The game is fun, don't get me wrong, but there's decent odds that if you just load in blindly, you're gonna get stomped by fourteen different decks with no clue what happened or why you lost. And that can be frustrating.

I picked it up back in November. Take you’re time, stick to solo and save those gems up (you can easily rack up 10 to 20k in solo alone) then splash out for a competitive deck that’s fun to play like Branded or Rescue-Ace. It took me ages to get to grips with the new mechanics as someone who checked out back in the XYZ days. But it’s genuinely a fun game. You will no doubt be overwhelmed at first but like anything once you’ve got to grips with it it’s really rewarding to play. Also plenty of videos out there to learn from. Good luck dude 👍

I tried deckbuilding but the UI is super unhelpful on my phone. I just quit because i didnt want to wiki every single card.

@@Protect_all_ljf3forms Joey: Then wtf is that? *Points to Kashtira, Scareclaw, Fiendsmith* Weevil: They all contain a hot anime dude

Almost as long as the first turn in modern YGO. :')

People say that you can't make a Yu-Gi-Oh anime with modern gameplay because of the long combos but Weevil's turn definitely didn't feel boring or slow to watch.

​@@Honest_Mids_Masher Weren't all the shows played by the somewhat modern style of their era? Like in ArcV Shun got handlooped and almost Gemknight FTKed in his first duel, also Vrains and OCG Structures manga exist, so it isn't that an anime with modern Yugioh won't work. But if it's rebooting OG Yugioh with modern cards is what you guys mean; so yeah that's a bad idea.

@@Honest_Mids_Masher They can also shorten the combos the way they do in the OCG Structures manga.

@@omermohammad1336 For the record no I actually don't believe that you can't make modern duels seem engaging I believe otherwise tbh. The OG Yu-Gi-Oh with modern cards is actually what some people want though but I don't really care about that either.

@@Honest_Mids_Masher Compared to how slow and boring turns were back in the "good old anime" days where occasionally they'd just stare blankly for minutes at a time. Yeah this was nowhere near that bad.
