Reminds me of one of Cimoo's meme videos. "Dad, why is my sister named Rose?" "Because your mother loves roses." "Thanks, dad!" "No problem, Super Polymerization!"
I’m genuinely curious why Joseph was so baffled at the way the Lab player played the hand. He waited for a spell to be added to activate EEV, assuming that it was a highly important spell. The opponent wanted to be sure to get value off of their EEV instead of just blinding it in draw to get punished, at least what it seems like to me. The only real confusing play was glitch pop planet not unicorn
I think they only used Glitch to get a search off Lady but they wanted to keep Unicorn on the field to both guarantee the typical continuous spell search and stop MBT from special summoning another Kash before getting a look at his hand with EEV.
They played the hand in such a way that they were far more likely to be punished by blowouts like duster and LS, and had absolutely no backup plan if that EEV hadn't won the game on the spot. There are far more hands that punish that kind of play than hands that reward it. The goal of EEV should not be to loop for as many cards as possible, it should be to take relevant equalizers out of the opponent's hand while gaining perfect information, then using that perfect information to correctly play your remaining interaction, ensuring you find yourself in a winning position. Holding for that long makes no sense whatsoever
@@bencrandall-malcolm8303 I played this DC with Lab (no floodgates I promise) and I don't think I encountered a single Duster or LS. I wouldn't think shotgunning EEV out the gate for a limited FD or the relatively niche LS would be a great play, in the current format especially, and since MBT didn't fire them at the start of his turn the Lab player was confident he wasn't playing them. Letting him activate the Unicorn so they could ensure popping all Births in hands limits Kash's combo significantly and leaving Unicorn on the field prevents additional 7 summoning and Evenly. Personally I also like to make sure my EEV is going to do something before firing. If MBT had been playing Kash engine in a more monster heavy build like Scareclaw, Tear, VS, or P.U.N.K. or had been splashing it into a Trap focused deck like Lab or Traptrix I don't know that the Lab player's follow-up would've been enough. They had the single pop with Lovely off Big Welcome, which could've been used on anything left in hand, or they could've gone for Cooclock to get Daruma online but without the other furnitures their recursion is diminished. I just don't think shotgunning EEV is the best call since the BO1 environment is so diverse and waiting for deck info is preferable. Yeah you get blown out sometimes but that's just how it goes.
I think the ghastly glitch was them realizing they click it too early because mbt could have had more names, so leaving unicorn was better than leaving a fenrir for example (although they could've summoned clock, return it and use it with daruma). However, once they pop'd the entire hand, they had no fear of that so they popped unicorn.
The lab play actually makes sense because the easiest follow up after EEV for kash would be another kash monster… unless you leave the unicorn on field and pop the spell it tutors. Then the only real play could be to have arise heart.
Couple goals. True actual couple goals: “You’re very strange, but I love you.” “Yeah, and you married me, what’s wrong with you?” That plus the Alpha Argument. I can confirm, that’s how it works for common names. Doubly so if we share last names as well.
Ah yes, as a Mikanko player myself, I too sometimes forget that even non-Mikanko monsters equipped with a Mikanko equip spell cannot be destroyed by card effects.
It's why you always deal with the spells and ignore the monsters 99% of the time. The monsters are just basic bodies that prevent their controller from taking battle damage if there's no equip spell on their side of the field for at least Hu-Li's targeting protection.
I payed attention to how many Kash decks, dragon ruler engines, and zoo engines I saw on my 8 hour climb to dlv20 over the last 3 days. Kash was surprisingly popular after having dropped off a lot last month. Zero dragon rulers spotted, and zero zoo engines spotted. No dridents summoned in 8 hours getting to max level. Good to see zoo is busted and will be everywhere KEKW
Despite everyone insisting that Kashtira is bad, it's incredible how both in this video and in this event, it's been incredibly common to run into. Almost as much as mathmech. And like, I kinda agree that it is bad on its own, but if you put something in there besides Zoodiac it gets pretty good! edit for past MBT in the end flashback: scareclaw kash is legitimately a better deck than pure of either archetype
Kash is bad: - You know a deck bricks when they have to run Planet Pathfinder of all things - Theoretically, the Ariseheart beat Cyberse but cyberse decks play 15 handtraps + searchable Kaiju so Methmech beats Kash like everytime - The deck is only "good" right now because nobody respect Kash and Shifter hard counter Dlink/Branded, which were everywhere
I've said it a myriad of times, and I'll say it once more. Zoodiac in 2023 is not very good compared to what we have now, and they will be delegated to a splashable utility engine at best. This is anecdotal, but its crazy how every single deck I've seen with Zoo in it in recent times has used it exclusively as a way to turbo out Zeus instead. Nobody is playing Zoo cards because they're strong, they're playing them because they're fast and there's a massive difference between the two.
Zoo isn't like garbage, but sometimes I think people under appreciate how much MR4 helped Zoo be "the deck", it was basically the only deck that could access it's entire extra deck toolbox without jumping through a couple of hoops, Zoo probably still would have been the best deck but like Blue Eyes proved in 2016, it's a lot easier to be the strongest in the room when everyone else's arms are broken.
In MD, Tri-Zoo was maaaybe third best in the format because stuff like Eva and several Eldlich stuff never got hit while Zeus was at 1. So yeah any success Zoos ever ended up seeing was purely due to other decks being hit in formats. MD proved that at near full power amongst Drytron/Eldlich/Tri-Zoo trinity, Tri-Zoo was maybe Tier 2 generously if T2 existed. In tournaments, it was strong because of side decking backrow hate and Kaizus
@@monkeylemur I agree with the statement, but TriZoo's playability in MD 2 years ago really doesn't say much about full power TCG Zoo, the cardpools are so drastically different you would comparing decks that have entirely different gameplans, strengths, weaknesses, and environments. to sum up my point, TriZoo is not Zoodiac, it is Tribrigade feat drident and Zeus.
In the entire event, all I been running into is kash, dragon link, lab, swordsoul and stun decks. The only time I saw zoo was someone playing it in a vernusylph naturia deck.
I still believe you were right about Zoo. But, come on, Kash? Zoo are the most legal they've been in years, and all you can think is "let me play them in the k-ASS-tira. Both archetypes make XYZs, they surely go together".
>remember that deck that was good in 2016 >I bet it's still totally broken now Yeah totally dude, dragon rulers are also about to take over any day now
in the last duel, what is the point of summoning ariseheart with scarekash if your opponent is on kashtira and you will be likely to trigger zeus again next turn ?
It's weird to imagine the possibility of MBT as a dad, but I feel like he'd be good at it. Definitely not as a daddy though, this is the bottomest twink to ever twink.
I understand this is a zoodiac did but can someone tell me how battleball works? As in if the superheavy syncro needs a superheavy non tuner you can still syncro it
Thank you Jules, took what seemed to be a classic "Joseph whines for 15 minutes" video and sprinkled in a good amount of "Joseph massively regrets everything he's ever said" content to balance it out.
For those wondering why he messed up on that Mikanko duel, the equipped monster can not be destroyed by card effect. He should have actually targeted the spell instead.
0:29 Another victory for the "please ban Riseheart" team. Doesn't matter that he lost. We all know he should've won and MBT was also playing Riseheart.
