Talking Modern Yu-Gi-Oh with the Undisputed UDS Champion Jesse Kotton | Heart of the Cast #7 

So many YCS wins and YCS tops in one video and also Farfa…

It's nice that they want to include a casual's perspective in the podcast. It's a long way ahead, but the way things are going I feel Jesse will catch up to Farfa's level eventually.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="230">3:50</a> how many times can Farfa say "like" in a 20 second window? Farfa: Yes

Jesse’s dad sounds so wholesome

Waiting for the day Josh corners Trif as a special guest and forces him to explain things. cool to see ppl like Pak and Jesse on the show.

Beste Bottom and his bottomless love for Boo-Ty-Oh

Arguably the two best current players in the tcg, and also Farfa have a discussion.

I swear I’ve heard Jesse’s age like 7 times and I’m surprised every single time 😂 Edit: Also farfa saying to build a meta deck by playing charmers this format was way funnier than it should’ve been.

How nice of Pak to appear two weeks in a row 😅😅

Played against Jesse in a regional, didn't know who he was until my freinds told me after the duel. Very good player

Its funny that both jesse and josh did badly during the 2022 nationals format while farfa topped UK nationals that year.

The chemistry between Farfa and Josh really shined on this episode. Very enjoyable to watch.

Honestly make Jesse a regular feature on this podcast imo you 3 are perfect together as a trio

Been waiting all day for this

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:01</a>:00 My issue with Baronne is not only what Josh and Jesse said, but also the fact that because it's so good, it's the default option for every single synchro deck. Whenever I see profiles of synchro heavy deacks, they always default to Baronne because it's just that good and while I don't think any other thing about it is ban worthy, I'd like to see it banned just for the sake of variety and creativity.

Master Rule 4 made all my friends quit for years. So it's def possible to mess it up bad enough to kill the game.

Josh’s face when Jesse mentioned liking Spyral 😂😂

NGL, i do wonder if the kid he ftk'd still plays cause if you get bodied like that on stream, you have so much strength of character to keep playing

Man I love this podcast

pak be lookin kinda different

the non linear combos is why i first liked Virtual World. The idea of if they interrupt my main combo line, I still have a backup combo line or a combo line designed to play around specific handtraps i think is very fun.

At this Point, you should call the Podcast " two Champs and farfa"

Bro jesse is so young! He could go another 10 years of dominating 😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3125">52:05</a> Master Rule 4 made me quit Yugioh for a while. My decks overnight became worthless because of the extra deck monster summoning restriction. I'm glad we're not in that format anymore.

That ftk feature match was one of the first features i ever watched (i was then probably at the level of the kid)

Man these guest have been 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

A piece of feedback for the podcast i'd be cool if you had timestamps in the video for the different topics that'd be great.

I hope jesse come again in a later. Episode.

24! Bro should be at the club

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="382">6:22</a> I understand where they coming from but I am Hispanic you get thrown into the deep end sink or swim 😂😂😂😂 but that kid probably was very discouraged after that lol

Joshua just totally burning Farfa is something that I didn't know I need in my life

Jess Robinson for next Guest, pls ✌

Very funny to have Jesse’s mortal enemy Joshua be on this podcast interview

A tier 0 format like this where the cards are so expensive and the staples like SP too being unaffordable will drive people away and keep new players from joining. Its not even worth going to locals right now because Snake-eye is so strong the only thing that can compete with it is itself. At least in Kashtira format you had infinite amount of outs. This one is too broken even more than tear.

Was the connection unstable during recording of this episode ? There seems to be alot of talking over each other

in time for food

Farfa, you might wanna fix your mic. Been noticing that you sound a bit muffled in all the episodes. Just for consideration

Tom Brady of YGO

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2147">35:47</a> Endymoin is a these decks (i like it to play but if i was the Opp i would be bored too)

time stamps for topics would be nice

I’d recommend headsets for the hosts to help not talking over the guests

Got my sub

Bruh let poor Jesse sleep😅 why is this filmed so early

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="72">1:12</a>:00 aged so well

Josh should do a podcast with pak instead of farfa.

Isn't yugioh already a bad game with some good formats?

Has Jesse ever beat Josh

Bro let the guest talk abit more, I heard your opinions infinite times already.

Playing against tier was terrible you was forced to play hand traps an side deck cards that specifically hit tier but might not work against other decks. An it might felt like your opponent could play but in reality there end board didn't let you do much of anything extremely one sided. But I don't have any of those issues going against Fire I can play my game I can run interruption that fit multiple match ups. An too me it's not as oppressive

"Getting hand trapped and not playing game is bad" Gee... not like I have not been saying hand traps are the core of the issue in today's game because they are the standard for which decks can and cannot realistically be viable to compete with. "When deck can play through hand traps, it's a good mirror." Gee, I guess Konami has to make decks more powerful then what hand traps can stop leading to power creep that increases faster then it would if they did not exist. "Hand traps exist to stop unbreakable boards." Boards are only really unbreakable in modern YGO due to throwing additional interactions in the form of generic ed monsters. So guess how you stop them from happening? BAN FUCKING BARONNE AND STOP PRINTING SP LITTLE KNIGHT, aka get on on Konami's ass about generic interaction. Not enough of the community does so. You ban all these generic assholes that come up EVERY SINGLE FORMAT and you can play through most interaction with just engine, turning the game into a combo heavy yet still resource management intensive back and forth (ie highly skillful). And when you can play through it with just engine, hand traps can go fuck themselves onto the ban list as well. Case closed.

I'll give gouki over striker when yall had mid breaker field. It's def a die roll. If striker goes first amd goes bananas with Engage which was all the time and the deck ends up drawing in to cards like ogre It should win. Also, going second let's say you open like Gamma, ogre I get that sky can't kill but at the end of the day you better set them superexs my thing is lets say you take these two decks vs each other and they design themselves for only facing each other and gouki does not get mid breaker field. I feel like sky will win 6/10 matches. Droll could be slightly effective. Striker could opt for cherries etc. They were easily 1 & 2. I loved both of them... but there was just something about striker that made it the most fun deck I have ever played. I played full power rock, dragons, gouki, hand loop norden mermail, Dino rabbit, wind ups, inzektos, trick star, etc nothing will ever be more fun then resolving 3 engages under role drawing in to 2-3 hand traps woth set 4 and 4-5 in hand. Such a complete deck that did not have to be a hybrid or combo deck to be good at everything.

Income? Can someone make a living from creating content and topping? Yuguoh should improve their prize pool so people can actually use that prize money to pay for their transportation and hospitality at each event.

Lost me at trying to make the game sound hard. And Jesse sound like a genius. Smh. He netdecks and plays meta. Not impressed 😒

The years of playing Yugioh have not been kind to Jesse.

Boo hoo. Tear has a weakness to Apo. If we banned every card that gave other archetypes issues we wouldn't have a card pool.

Bold of him to have a camera directly pointing at his face, looking like this.
