THESE BOOMER-ERA YU-GI-OH! CARDS ARE STILL AMAZING TODAY! 

Ash Blossom? at this time of year? at this format? in this part of the country, localized entirely within their porch?

They're steamed Ash Blossoms, a family recipe!

​@@dardanikYes

@@PlayerBros2 May I see them ?

​@@cerberos1no

Raigeki is still really good. Lightning Storm just stole its spot despite being far worse monster removal.

@@moonjelly5 Raigeki is mostly a tool to deal with Monster-heavy decks because you can have 3-of. Against Backro-heavy decks you prefer Lighting storm though.

@@N12015 Lightning Storm is stone unplayable most of the time. You can only rely on going second so much.

@@dontmisunderstand6041or you play a stun deck like labrynth that can return its monsters and search it’s field spell to set it over your existing one if need be

I’ve sometimes had full boards just lose to raigeki, it is very strong

Or she just assumed they had to be expensive cards from context.

"Can I see them?" "No." Aight fair enough, not suspect whatsoever that he won't let me see some cardboard.

I agree. The editing helps a lot too.

-Insert aurora borealis meme here- “Can I see it?” “No.”

​@@1997dartagnan I would have been more defensive and asked her WhY? But the straigth No. is hilarious.

could clip it if you wanted to, it's less than a minute

He used ash as an excuse for his wife to not search for the engagement ring 😅 they were stopping searches before Joseph even owned them

Yeah, negating a spell then milling something useful...

​@@N12015a? I think you forgot two L's after the a.

With an earth tuner, at least

Yup. Play this as a tech in my scareclaw tri-brigade deck 😊

You hear that? That's the sound of my bones crackling from old age.

Big steamed hams moment

And then Poly show up and I'm dead from laughing 😂

Branded was doing that before the Expulsion ban to hard counter Labrynth. 😛

I ran Jinzo and End of Anubis in my Infernoid deck back in Shaddoll/BA format. Hitting either off Reasoning was *chef's kiss*.

Used to run him in cyber orcust in 2019 jinzo is goated

@@RNE1993I still do that to counter trap decks, I played a labyrinth player in a game where I bricked but drew Jinzo they activated a trap and summoned a second mommy in attack and left the other in def, I used triple tactics took the attack one, ran over the defense one and tributed for Jinzo in main 2. Strangely he lost communication after that.

Drytron with jinzo is just *chefs kiss*

They really saw that dude and just said "let's build an entire story around this one dude" didn't they?

skull servent got a full family over the decades, i like to think they were the kids of reletives you never heard of showing up 20 years later.

Snake Rain *is* broken, the problem is Reptiles have no good boss monsters except Ogdoabyss and the Alien-specific Cosmic Slicer. Give Reptiles a Phoenix Enforcer-level generic boss monster OR print some Reptiles that have effects that activate in grave (Ogdoadics aren't enough) and Snake Rain will basically read like 4 rotas.

Snake Rain will absolutely be broken, just give reptiles a good boss monster

Snake Rain isn't "one day this card will be broken" it's "every reptile deck is bad, because Snake Rain is inherently Broken"

​@@rescuerex7031I think Konami is scared to ban snake rain cause it hasn't done anything visibly wrong but it's like a demonic spectre hanging over the reptile types. Ban it so reptiles can be good

Snake rain is broken, it's just that as a consequence Konami is too afraid to make good reptile decks

Pendulums almost 10 years ago Crazy

What is this twitter you're talking about? All i know is X

@dardanik oh I'm sorry you're right, it's called X threads now!! 🤣😉

Yeah, have you seem those X videos? They're great. @@dardanik

Hot take that aint too hot: This series would suck if it wasnt for Dire

Another thing about Wanghu; it was sometimes teched as a stun option in Adventurer builds, because you can get it out by using Tri-Brigade Airborne Assault on Wandering Gryphon Rider. It's the build I use to this day, so... yeah.

Insane to think that psychics debuted in 5ds

Late 5Ds, also known as the post-edison synchro era, but so is Trishula, Naturia Beast, Genex and Hundred Eyes dragon.

He nailed the timing perfectly. He knew if he ashed the search he could still benefit from her adding the ring to her hand.

Mst is powercrept by cyclone but yeah

The problem is that there is no guarantee yhat they'll do that. Yes, it is the best case scenario, but that doesn't happen all the time

The benefit of rotation is that it removes good cards from the game.

But the thing is that there's a lot of times in Yugioh when some random old card will become meta for the first time Rotation prevents stuff like that from ever happening because why would they keep a bunch of cards that no one has ever played?

the problem with rotation is that i can't think of a single TCG that it helped, and plenty that died shortly after introducing it

Ok so you’re just gonna put your faith in Konami to stabilize Yugioh with good reprints when Konami got us into the mess of modern Yugioh?

ok

I feel like if you see someone play skill drain, physical violence should be allowed

Yea it's like 5 cards. We've had banlists that banned more than that in one go

It's more than 5 and not all of them are traps. Skill Drain, Rivalry, Gozen, TCBOO (it's a 5 year-old card), Macro, DiFi, Anti-Spell, Summon Limit, Imperial Iron Wall, Decree, Droll (yes it is a floodgate), Lancea, every Barrier Statue (Stormwinds is gone but all other attributes are still legal and waiting), El Shaddol Winda, Necrovalley, and more. Not all are equally playable at all times but enough have enough overlap to be simultaneously played and YGO's floodgates are overwhelmingly comprehensive. I enjoy them but having every single one being legal at the same time as each other is not good. One solution would be to create a lost like Duel Link's/Speed Duel's Limit 3 category for specific cards.

@@thorscape3879 putting something on the list as limited 3 or banned doesnt make much of a difference for bloat. Duel links style banlist is way harder to keep track of and will cause issues with new players and casuals, in DL its automated which takes care of potential misunderstandings. Also most of those floodgates arent regularly causing issues and are more severe tools against 1 specific deck type should it become too represented in the meta. As always rotation probably wouldnt fix this anyway as konami clearly wants floodgates around otherwise anti spell wouldve gotten banned after last years nats format.

​@@thorscape3879I'm going to keep it a stack: complain about Droll and Lock Bird is a massive red flag. That card only sees play when the meta is run by the most degenerate decks imaginable. The only times I remember it being good enough to play were times like Spyral format, 2018 and all that year's associated awful decks, Herald Drytron, and the week long SHS format from last year. To me, if you're complaining about Droll, I have some questions about what you'd like to be doing that Droll isn't letting you do.

Counterpoint: Wizards of the Coast uses rotation for MtG specifically so they can be lax with bans. If MtG was even half as aggressive with their ban list as Yugioh is, it'd be in a much better place than it is right now.

Yeah even with rotation Pokémon and Magic still have power creep issues so I’m really wondering why people think Rotation will help Yugioh.

Yeah keep in mind that the older formats in MTG are very popular, and they also don't want to be snapshot formats a la GOAT, so you can't just permanently lower the power level unless you want literally every new release to be unplayable in Modern or something.

@@hatefulgaming1800 I have no problem with stronger cards. The boon of rotation or more aggressive F&L lists is to intentionally curb the power of strategies that are stronger than they should be. Puppet locking is total bullshit but it is a neat tech. What wasn't neat was how free it was with Branded Expulsion. Now you have to use Sacrifire which requires an all-in turn 1 combo. Rotation also mostly solves the problem of low power set releases as the definition of low power is constantly relative. An expanded format is allowed to still exist but a rotated standard format or at least a more aggressive F&L list goes a long way.

@@thorscape3879 Expanded formats have been known to die in most rotation games that aren't MTG and even there its prohibitively expensive. The whole argument for rotation is that you get to print cards that break the format if they were legal at the same time and they are, in expanded. Which leads to those formats becoming hellscapes of super fast aggro decks and very consistent combo decks. The other side of the coin is MtG where every product release has maybe 3 cards that are relevant to older formats and the only way to actually get some meta shift is to wait on the modern horizons set every 2 years.

No, the real big brains use those traps in combination with Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird and Golden Ladybug to get a Ra with 80000+ ATK onto the field.

I use them in toons as backups in case something happens to Kingdom

Why would you use uraby instead of sabersaurus?

@@REDDAWNproject because it’s funny

based@@theblastzone3037

It legit slapped me across the face with a core memory unlock

Honestly the funniest part of the whole vid high key

Both monster reborn and change of heart are 10 times better at 3 then at 1. 3 ofs will influence how you can build a deck whereas if a card is at 1 then you cant really build with that card in mind, and it becomes an addition rather than a core for the deck. The same goes for other cards like foolish burial, card of demise, reasoning etc

And also dark eruption not only fetches you cardians, but also exodia pieces outta the grave

It doesnt need a hit, konami just needs to release good decks again.
