@@Ubersupersloth Yes, Payne is famously the "Been X days since Volcanic Support" guy in the comments section of, I believe, various creators for a looooong time until it finally happened.
I like to imagine Snow arriving on the field after banishing Emperor to dodge targeted negation and screaming "SIC' EM JOHNNY!" before the spirit of the Emperor engulfs the board in flames from the great banishment beyond
For real, I was talking with my friends last night trying to think of actual cool boss monsters that aren't big floodgates, quick effect removal, nuke boards, negates, or attack for 1,000,000 damage and this card came up. I understand you can only come up with so many different types of boss monsters, but this one is super cool.
It's crazy how much better these have gotten since they started. I loved them the whole time already but the quality and production value has really grown. You're doing great Joe. Keep it up man.
Dang, now this is a top tier ladder climb. The amount of deck variety and interesting duels stacked ontop of this spicy new editing we've gotten recently and you get my favorite Ladder climb in a long while. Even better than Generaider, which is saying a lot considering how often I play that deck. I think I still had more fun with the Ojama climb, but this is definitely giving NumeRa a run for its money
1:09:56 that snow backrooms chair joke was great and then I took a sip of Gatorade and I was not ready for the chair out of nowhere and I got rolled Spit Gatorade everywhere lmfao Good joke, good edit
I've watched a couple of these but this might be the first time an episode sold me on a deck. Really cool to see all the things it can do, I gotta try them out for myself. Very nice vid!
its kinda insane how much snow exactly contributes to this deck, so many of these duels were lost without snow in grave for the targeting dodge (to say nothing of the number of pyros banished by it)
1: With how often you had to offer your left arm this episode, will you be getting a hard arm to go with the hard leg? :D 2: The way this deck plays is so different from anything else, really refreshing to see 3: Volcanic Emporer Burn Damage Jumpscare!
Considering Messmer in the Elden Ring DLC is a fire-focused boss, I find this to be a very appropriate thing to have going in the background before it comes out.
Burn is a glorious thing to play in motion; nothing quite like the joy of seeing Maxx C in response to a Trickstar deck setting up. I've loved burn longer than any other playstyle, so good to see one of the great ones got some love again. Also, you ALWAYS have two Counters waiting in grave. They catch the first, but rarely do the expect the second.
I love that the deck gradually evolves during each stream and you try different variants, I think you only missed the runick variant, there is some synergy since you have a lot of good discards and don't need the battle phase to win.
Once again Joe is heating things up again. The card pack openings was so nostalgic. I understand why Joe was cutting things down but it always feels like there is something missing from the videos with them. Plus at this rate I might as well watch a 4 hours video. The quality never disappoints and I feel like the longer the videos have got, the more interesting the videos have got. BTW Super Sayian God Joe was not what I was expecting. I will be looking forward to Super Sayian God Super Syian Joe once we got some new water support.
1:05:40 Fun anecdote about "Spirit Of The Flames" the original text on the card didn't say anything about not being able to normal summon the card. So when my siblings and myself played YGO as kids, we would normal summon the card, and just went by what the card said, it could ONLY be special summoned by a fire monster being removed from play from the graveyard, we also didn't understand the card itself was what removed the fire monster from play, so we basically worked under the assumption that any time a Fire Monster was banished, it would special summon itself from the hand or graveyard. We all thought it was a really cool card, and wished there were enough good fire monsters and ways to banish monsters to really get a lot of play out of it. Then we found out what it's effect was actually supposed to be, and honestly... the real effect is far better for the playground format we had going on. Though our interpretation of the effect would have made it a stupidly good card. Imagine that for a moment a level 4 that special summons itself any time a fire monster is banished, with no once per turn. That would be busted.
What a fun episode - great editing and you were a joy to watch as always Joe. Volcanics have been one of my favourite decks ever since their release, burn is an interesting strategy that has never been fully utilised outside of Gimmick FTKs, so it’s nice to see a deck that has a legitimate strategy built around it (with the low chance of being able to FTK making that angle feel less gimmicky) Also they have both an awesome aesthetic, inspiration and were used by one of GXs best characters! Always fun
You should do a "Where are they now?" with some of the decks to see how they are now and to see if they've just lost all steam in the metagame, or are they adapting in unique ways?
Yeah and he doesn't even have to redo 20 something months of the same decks we've seen, he could do it them in 1 video "I climbed the ladder with every archetype under the sun" or something like that, I think he kept all the cards
I feel like its hard to determine the cost stat for these decks now b/c by the time you start a new deck, you already have a majority of the card from past pack openings so the cost is not very accurate. This was fine in the early stages of master duel. At the same time, the new cards you start to acquire have yet to be in a dispersed into a secret pack. Also what you send is not necessarily the last build you end on
I remember meeting you and brick on Baldrake+Wandering King with no way of getting Soul Resonator at all. You opened double called by and i only opened 1 disruption which is Ash :). Nice Combo btw
What does the ashened stuff gives to volcanics ? I think it gives u access to banshee and thats good for searching trooper, but i dont know ashened very well
@@julienkupet1989 gives you a field nuke outside of scattershot, some backrow removal, more bodies for link plays, more pyros to banish for Emperor, and their big fusion has quick effect destruction
51:35 "Lore accurate Kurenai" has to be my favorite Joe quote of this year. 1:47:49 Edit: *"WHY IS THERE BUTEN?"* Edit 2: No, Josh didn't make swordsoul superheavy, but I saw it show up in both DKayd's Meta Weekly and Josh's Challenger Cup...so, people *are* using it. It's close to a meme but it's good enough to do some things.
1:12:07 through 1:12:09 I caught that SpongeBob reference from the episode where SpongeBob showed Squidward up on Bikini Bottom Style Professional Dancing LMAO AND 1:14:43 with the Killer Queen image for the bomb comment! I LOVE THIS GUY
This one was a really fun one to watch - the deck is bad enough to make the climb a challenge, but good enough that it's possible. Kind of makes me wish Snow and Grass were legal in the TCG so I could try some of those plays!
i had a flight yesterday get delayed for nearly two and a half hours with everyone already inside because the (boeing) plane was broken. which would've been enough to make me miss my connecting flight, were it not to turn out that the next (also boeing) plane was also broken. anyway uh, solidarity, i guess.
Volcanic are totally a 🔥 deck oh hell yeah and nice wig man HardLeg It reminds me of Heat Miser from It was the year without a Santa Claus the cartoon that was a reference to that and I was the only one that knew that man I'm getting old lol
This reminds me of something vaguely similar many years back. Of course a lot of the really good cards from this were missing so instead I played around with teh volcanic queen, creatue swapp and kurenai. Ring of destruction was also legal. etc. Was fun when it worked. Volcanic counter was always one of my favroites though. Just judginig from this YGO seems to evolve around 4 minute turns now and the game ends when one players gets his OTK out first.
You should've also add a counter for how many times you sing the Popular song. I was on stream once and I've counted 15 times and I never stay till the end
The last FTK wasnt counted in the statistics, but it was still the craziest one to me because you know there's bullshit incoming when someone gifts you their boss monster. Super fun watch, effect damage isnt super popular in YGO these days and im glad a very decent deck makes use of it.
This one felt oddly light, like it's 3 hours but I didn't feel them I don't know if i tuned out at some point or If it's actually just a good video, imma have to watch it again
You know the night before I had somewhat of a nightmare where the whole Master Duel Ladder video was Hardleg losing to a really grindy deck for about 2 hours with Volcanics.
This was one of my favorites, we really need a bonfire reprint asap so this deck is more accessible in the tcg. I like the Horus version a lot (again hoping for reprints)
So glad KONAMI finally decided to give Volcanic an actual wave of support, also even though it isn't viable and not easy to do I have Volcanic Doomfire in my build just to keep Axel's ace going
Tried out Volcanic and always seem to have lots of fun with it. A fun little interruption I sometimes pull off it summoning Doomfire during my opponent's Battle Phase. Did it during a Snake Eye's turn, after they spent all of their effects, and they just rage quit XD
How do the bomb tokens work? Does the effect that summons them include the burn damage when that specific one is destroyed? The way it's worded doesn't really sound like that. Or is it an effect that lingers for the rest of the duel and burns for every destroyed bomb token, no matter how it was put on the field? or is the burn inherent to the tokens? Though, so far only Ejection and Trooper summon them.
The tokens are normal monsters but the card that summons it applies a lingering effect on the specific tokens they've summoned, so even if trooper is not on the field anymore you can still get burned by its tokens Or at least that's what I could gather looking at rulings
With some decks it the fun the player has doesn't fully translate to the audience, but I feel with Vulcanics it does so quite nicely. Especially the more "wacky" versions.
When I was learning the deck on stream, someone posted this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WCSAJLgmfAk.htmlfeature=shared It didn't feature a deck list, so I just went through and picked the Pyros and ratios I thought would work best.
