This Was Actually Meta ? The Story of Hydrogeddon 

Nice ! Please do, I'd love for him to see it.

Lmao please ask Joe if he can sign my 23 copies of Hydrogeddon please

What was the reaction?

crazy that it wasn't that long ago either

I mean hydreigon , giant germ, gravekeeper's spy and nimble mamonga served as the core monsters of Monarch Control/Beatdown back in the day

@@michaelkeha But those were passive, set and wait for your opponent to do the job. _Irrelevant to the point but Hydreigon prayed on Momongas and Giant Germs too_ :P

The Chaos Monsters (BLS, CED, Sorc), Cyber Dragons, and Gravekeeper Spy existed back then. Hell, even Reasoning and Monster Gate made the Reasoning Gate deck viable in GOAT format.

@@cookiecutter6735 didn't really matter unless your opponent also opponent hydreigon it was usually a guaranteed 1 to 2 tribute fodders on the board come your next turn and you can start dropping Monarchs or Jinzo at that point and just sledgehammer the opponent

They still do, it's called Mystic Mine matches. XD

@@mathunit1 it is kind of a lie honestly because 2 of the best deck in the format past were control deck and proving that duel still can go more then 2 turn and to be fair were one of the most skillful in the last time

@@dragullongblackfang8073 um pretty much every combo deck these days is technically control deck simply because you sit on a board like 10 negates but that's not true control neither were decks like salamangreat they were combo decks with a control deck closest we got is guru control and even then eh

@@michaelkeha i name it combo control huge difference what make salaameangreat more a cotrol deck then a combo deck is that they first turn is not as impressive as other decks but it self relivant and can do the combo over and over again it is a fair deck in a sense look at a deck like sky striker which litterly have only 1 broken card and the rest is fair and grindy control deck whith not so good finisher

It's time for the future,, it's about winning fast as possible useing meta decks and handtraps and kaijusto win, I'm one of them

Omar Valentini it won’t. It’s too slow. You’ll get OTKd and your opponent is unlikely to leave a 1,5k monster turn 1(1,7 is you play the UMI skill)

@Omar Valentini Not when it can't run anything over, the best shot it has is deneb but it will need miscsaurs and that's a UR in a main box that most people don't have 3 of.

Do you think Konami will ban the Synchro meta decks to make people use XYZ decks like the March 2012 banlist?

I remember using wall of disruption on a field packed with dinosaurs and just leaving the field like that because I knew they would deck out before me, and they had no way to remove their own 0ATK monsters. Funny times

@@youwayo Is that why Shiranui is still tier 1 and no Xyz deck is tiered?

Oof

His manga deck got more respect

His manga decks were actually cool

i mean, he did seem to be a lolicon

The guy fucked a tiger.

Don't forget Bastion was supposed to get a fire dragon I wonder how that would've been?

I never see GX as a generation instead more of an update to DM much like Pokemon Johto to Kanto.

Gx is the worst season for a reason, cause it's just trash

As I remember lots of the GX character started with fusion monster such as Jaden, Zane, Syrus, Alexis, Chazz etc., but the use of fusion monster slightly decreased as the show goes on

@@nunocarvalho6671 Zexal and Arc V are much worse, and Sevens I don't even consider that Yu-Gi-Oh at this point

@ULGROTHA That still hurts me

Bu dum tishhhhhh

Yup. Me too. Still is. I use him for Rank 4s.

Man, what a sentence.

@Springtrap Yugioh Shame the production was a nightmare and the show got cancelled mid final season with lots of plot threads left completely unresolved. You can thank the Dark Side of Dimensions movie for that.

@@elin111 I'm sorry how is DSOD to blame for Vrains not being as good?

@Springtrap Yugioh filler? you mean recaps, vrains got no filler at all and that's complain people make but it's meant to be really serious so ehh.

@Springtrap Yugioh I wouldn't call it the best. 5D's and GX are my first and second place, respectively.

It is. For me the Sept 2005 and Sept 2007 format is the best era of GX haha

@@spotsthecat7913 Goat and troop dupe are my fav, but I have a sweetspot for Wind-Up, Rabbit, plant synchro days. B4 plant synchro got deleted by komoney.

It is. Try playing some Tag Force and see what old gems you can find to crush the meta.

That would be a really cool video

Ah, yes the story of the Dragon Rulers... When Konami dropped Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy like damn atom bomb onto the TCG/OCG. A deck that ran so rampant that it's only counters were Spellbook Prophecy who relied on their high priestess and deck choices like Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer, Jowgen and Droll to shut the deck down and Evilswarm (who relied on setting 4 backrow behind Evilswarm Ophion as a counter though this deck lacked in consistency) . That resulted in the September 2013 ban list (one of the biggest in the games history) in which all the baby rulers were banned along with Stamping Rejuvenation and what did this change? Absolutely nothing because it turns out the Dragon rulers had so much synergy just among themselves that all you needed was a way trigger them off each other and you'd have indefinite fodder. Judgment of the Light also helped by providing synchro support the deck could take full advantage of. Then they limited all of the rulers and finally found themselves being the linch pin of attribute decks rather than with each other and found a semblence of balance.... until Konami released number 95 and ruined it for everyone. So ends the legend of Dragon Rul... can we bring Blaster back already?

@@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective Konami, should have locked the rulers in attributes and not have them banish dragon as a cheat no?

in GX era, "build" a deck really us, player, make deck consist of various card with unrelated effect and make them synergize. deck like this really fun to play or to go against as almost each player have their own build. as for archetype, archetype=structure deck in booster pack. its already a package as most of its card linked in name and effect. and no matter who used it, its pretty easy to guess the build and combo execution

why rise and fall of DRulers? rise simply when they hit us and fall bcuz the BL destroyed them. if they would be unleashed again they would be a force again.

Such simpler times lol. Raiza reminds me of the PC monarch days

Same. I liked to be able to swarm the field in a time when that was basically impossible. It helps that us casuals didn't understand the difference between Fusion tributes and normal tributes, so Great Evolution Pill meant two instant Gaiodiaz on the field and Ultimate Tyranno. Hydrogeddon was my usual way to start getting field control.

trashcan format

He did make a video on the March 2012 banlist

Now it’s all about hand traps

Check raiza format on weebly, it's a sept 2007-january 2008 format based on wc2008 yugioh ds game (gx era just before DAD era) The link is raizaformat (.) w**bly (.) com

TBH troop dupe is better than Raiza format, but that might just be personal opinion.

If only card games were still like that to some degree. Now you almost certainly Need the higher rarity stuff.

@@nonoaheart5594 The GX era was kind of wild, the commons and regular rares (or "silver tops" as everyone called them) were significantly more competitive than most of the ultra rares, which were almost all E-Hero fusions or esoteric anime cards. I doubt Yu-Gi-Oh will ever see a time line that again xD

I used to love the plasma blue thunder t-45 deck in 2008! Just like you, I cannot remember it at all which is a darn shame.

Water Dragon did get a retrain yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Water_Dragon_Cluster

how old are you tho?

are you high? he literally showed like 4 actual, era event topping, decklists...

@@wyomingptt you right, i just ment to always show
