Joshua Schmidt Reacts to King of Yu-Gi-Oh Rates Classic Magic Cards 

In yugioh there are no cost like mana which is you can play whenever you like except normal summon and trap cards Yeah drawing cards and search effects are broken in yugioh coz they can set a board in a single turn most of a time a single card can build a end board with lots of negates

@@mazeradevere8352 my nig explaining how draw is powerful in yugioh...in a yugioh channel.

​@@mazeradevere8352 There is a cost in yugioh though, I dunno why people keep saying this. There's no *universal* cost, sure, but e.g. it really hard to think of a special summon monster without some kind of specific summoning requirements. Of course some cards are costless and can be activated at any time, but there are many, many cards where this is not the case. Drawing and searching are strong in any game, not just yugioh.

Draw cards are good... :P

Because he's not a good player. His whole channel is "broken" deck profiles with 19 bricks in them, and obviously fake reactions to pack openings. This video is more cringe than his normal content... and that's saying something.

He already did

@@_CE53 See, ready for round two. Ojama Boogaloo.

@@_CE53 He did? When and where?

Kinda implying we’re not lol. Look at the content creators who’re popular. MBT, Farfa, TeamSam, Trif. Not a bad thing though in my opinion, just means YGO players are more childish at heart, I appreciate that

​@rockyledonio5341 mbt is a theater kid and farfa is a shitposter, I wouldn't say that them being popular relates to how they play yugioh, I think people just think they are entertaining They are one of the few yugitubers that have found out that they can also be youtubers

It's a show for entertainment dude

@@felicen93 Toddlers aren't that entertaining, dude

@@Cybertech134I know it’s hard to understand but people don’t all have to enjoy the same things

You mean a broken clock?

Is that why every tsx1 deck profile bricks like hell

I want to go off on a bit of a side tangent here as well. Notice the “negate” he showed on screen when they were talking about song of creation. It costs 2 mana. Unlike in yugioh, using negates in magic costs tempo, or more than just one card out of your hand in resources (like the card called force of will, requiring the use of itself plus another card in your hand to be cast for 0 mana). In yugioh, if you think your opponent has it, you usually have to run your face into the card. Sometimes there are alternate lines to play around an ash or nibiru, but usually it boils down to do they have the answer? If no, you win. If yes, do you have the answer for their answer if yes, you win, if not, you lose. In magic, because the answers cost mana or cards, you can actually wait for more opportune moments to cast your “combo”. You can play some value pieces or just go to combat and attack until they’re forced to use the mana on removal and then you can combo MP2, etc. Yugioh feels like it’s missing that kind of magic. You can’t play a backrow deck and not set your hand in fear of heavy storm because you’ll lose to the combo deck playing through your measly one or two negates. Or they’ll have duster and win anyway. Or your playing master duel and get red rebooted and lose. I love yugioh, but I really think that the game needs to slow down so that tempo can become at least slightly relevant, or decks need to speed up to the point of tear or lab, where the controls decks need to be able to play on turn 0. However I think if that is the case, mulligans need to be introduced into the game. Right now the draw step might as well not matter, your opponent usually wins the game with their combo before you can draw the ash blossom as your 6th opening card. If you were allowed to mulligan at least once going second it would feel monumentally less backbreaking to see an opener with no hand traps or interaction of any kind.

City of traitors is much better now than what it used to be. Although Chalice of the void has become weaker, stuff that you can accelerate into is much better nowadays. Fable of Mirror-Breaker is so much better than Gathan Raiders.

@@robertbauerle5592 Also, the vast majority of spells in mtg that 'negate' don't stay on the field, attack and defend (they go to the graveyard immediately) and don't get the opportunity to 'negate' once per turn (for free). In mtg, you can completely exhaust the counter spells the opponent uses through threat density and attrition. Very, very few counter spells in mtg counter activated effects, so once in play/used, the opponent has to find another answer besides negating. There's no threat of omni-negates and mana requirements make it so there are *big* decisions that can leave you not being able to respond unlike in yugioh where everything is free and it doesn't matter. You can always respond with free things and the decisions that matter are *when* you do something and not *if* you can for the most part. A perfect example of a card that does this is *Gigadrowse* . With its *Replicate* ability making it a nightmare for decks that want to respond to everything at any time. The last card shown, Thalia is excellent in aggro decks that are just playing/creating multiple creatures a turn while slowing down combo, control, aggro-control, and any other decks that rely on non-creature cards and their ability to interact fast enough. It gets better when you can protect Thalia as well as attack and deploy.

​@robertbauerle5592 hear me out. Instead of slowing the game down, we just speed it up by designing cards to allow the turn 2 player to also play on turn 1. Labyrinth for example has its Furniture trio which set a trap from deck (at the cost of a secondary discard) or let you activate a trap the turn it was set. Then Lab also has Arias Butler now, and she also let's Labyrinth play on the opponent's first turn. Tearlaments had Havnis and TearKash to use during either main phase at quick effect speed. Vanquish Soul has HG Pluton to summon on the opponent's turn. . . Bystials can play on the opponent's turn if they commit a monster to the board. Yugioh is getting there, but slowly.

@@wickederebus I never said the game should be slowed down to be fair. Tear is one of my favorite archtypes of all time and that deck is the fastest deck in the game's history, being able to nearly "full combo" on an opponent's turn 1. I also do like labrynth for the same reason, it being a control deck that has engine that can play faster than combo decks. Bystials I don't really count since you're not really playing engine, they're just hand traps with the upside of a body. That'd be like saying kaiju's are engine since they're part of an archtype. I don't have enough experience with VS to give a good take on that, since I mostly play master duel and they haven't been added yet. Fire kings can do similar things, tho they lack enough viable main deck engine to be able to consistently play like that (hoping for more support even tho we probly won't get it).

I feel like these videos should show no mana cost, no non-generic summoning conditions. Something like force of will (I believe?) or Dinowrestler Pankrotops rather than Dragoon or this video. Also, the whole Dragoon=bad thing is a bit outdated with Branded in the meta anyway. Sure, it's still not that well-played now, but it will probably be mandatory in Branded when Mirrorjade is banned.

He's more yuya than judai tbh Also, why do people keep spelling him "Jaiden"

​@@xolotltolox7626cause they can't spell Jaden, or Judai. Or they try combining the two.

These terms are just ripe for misunderstanding, too. A card can be good generically but also only if you build a deck around it. It's perfectly plausible for such a specific deck to be among the better ones in a given format. A staple, however, is only a generically good card, not a card that is only good in the right deck. Stinkers, on the other hand, are not cards that can only be found in a few different decks (in which case they could still see much play if many people play those decks) but cards that aren't good for anything and see barely any play at all. Edit: it's a false dichotomy.

I don’t remember the Troll showing up at all. It might have seen play in a couple decks but it was always replaceable, while the rest of Eldraine dominated Standard for two whole years

Are you confusing limited with standard? It was very good in limited. In standard it had an incredibly poor matchup into the sacrifice deck that took over post Okotober. It was like asking for a free loss. (I made the same mistake, thinking about Magic Mirror. It was decent in limited, no play in standard.)

@@najawin8348 >Okotober. I see what you did there, and I raise you two elks.

Also I think city of traitors being strong is clearer if you realize you can activate it before playing a land, so you get at least 4 mana out of it, which is 2 more than what you'd get from another land and that's the cost of playing a typical ramp card that fetches a land. Not that you'd want to do that with that card it'd be kinda weird but it shows that at baseline you at least get the value of the land you lose. So it's more like, if you can't do better than that with the mana what are you doing with your deck?

If it were free, it might have seen play when mine stall was legal (although it may forced you to play anti-deckout cards). Ledger of ledgermain saw occasional play in that deck for example.

Song of creation seems like you just draw a land next turn and then have no play.

Except mirage of nightmare lets you keep your cards in hand for the opponent's turn

It's pretty mid to bad. Big stats and combat are worse in commander because you don't have 1 opp with 20 life, but are facing 3 players with 40 life. It's not really threatening if anyone can sacrifice stuff and the upside of drawing an extra card can be had on much cheaper cards like phyrexian arena. These cards where opponents choose what happens are mostly bad, cause if you want to push for damage they will sac, and if you are starved on cards they will gladly take damage to deny you a card draw.

As someone who still plays Golgari ramp in commander (Vorinclex/Wrenn commander), Clackbridge is sadly not good in commander. It's a shame because it's a very fun card.

You gotta remember that commander is legacy so you can probably find another card that is better than 5 mana gain 3 life and draw a card each turn.

It’s awful

Actual hater

Sams content is definitely made with a wider audience in mind but he’s actually a pretty good player as well. He has some relatively impressive tops for someone who is primarily an entertainer and it might not be a stretch to say he’s one of the better players out of non professional content creators in general.

Sam the 🐐 You just hating.

Except they've already had Josh on?

Bro why so aggressive? is jus dumb fun, not even the top comments in that video care about the score.

TeamsamuraiX1 is one of the few yugitubers with multiple YCS tops. He acts goofy but he's a strong player. Tbh the goofier a yugituber acts, the better they are at the game as a general rule. Milano and Trif are better players than Farfa and Cimoo.

Everyone hates Stax in every card game as a deck. The fundamental idea behind Stax is making it so your opponent cannot play the game which is never going to be something that a person trying to play the game will like. Thalia is a bit of an exception where she is a Stax piece used in non dedicated Stax decks so playing under her floodgate is interesting. As with most effects, it’s fine in moderation.

@@calvinbarboza I suppose I always just saw it as more of the puzzle to have to solve. I had a friend who used Elesh norn mother of machines which turns off all etbs, so I soon had to start adjusting my deck to make up for not being able to count on my etbs. This made it so I had to start using cards I would have never used otherwise.
