We Dueled Using Only Banned Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards! (#1) (ft. House of Champs) 

“This has never been done before.” Playground rules, bro.

When all cards are broken, no card is broken

Imagine a "reverse banlist" rule. Banned = 3, Limited = 2, Semi-limited = 1, unbanned = 0.

When you played with most of these cards before they were banned: Feels nostalgic man...

16:47 *_The actual duel start._*

"This has never been done before" *hardleg joe cries in corner*

And this, Kids is how "we only use banned cards" turned into Eclypse Wyvern beatdown...

I remember back in the day, when I was in school. People used to not shuffle their decks and what they did was set the cards in an organized order to draw. Can you believe this, obviously they didn't read the rule book. And once I mentioned you need to shuffle your deck, the shit really hit the fan. Anyone else have this experience? One tactic I had just in case they refused to shuffle the deck was to organize my deck with direct attack spell cards which added up to 4000LP. It was another way of playing them with their own game. This is going back 17-18 years ago.

Card: Exists Them: I'll take 3.

you NEED to duel Hardleg Joe. This is literally his career.

I just started getting back at yu gi oh after so many years, and basically every card I knew and loved are banned 👍

This man has 3 Snatch Steals, but can't find room for Change of Heart.. lol

Banned Cards showing why they need to stay banned

Next: We duel using banned Players!

"Never has been done before" Of course it has, its called Casual

“We can’t play Norden because we don’t have Instant Fusion”. Me: MAGICAL SCIENTIST!!!

You see Dragon Rulers, you see Level Eater, you see Card of Safe Return. But you don't play it. Seems I didn't understand that game.

A duel where the only choosable monster cards have 0 attack.

I love that while Champs is actually trying to build a deck, Cimo's strategy is just to go full Supermarket Sweep.

"flip effects are too slow", puts max c x3, meanwhile game is: attack with 1600, pass the turn.

"This has never been done before." HardLeg has literally done this exact challenge on his DBC

Welcome to Yu-Gi-Oh when I started playing lol 😂

Her: I like a guy who plays by his own rules Me:

"Never been done before" bold of you to assume I ever played this game by the rules.

Deck-build challenge idea: You pick a letter at random. The first card in your deck has to have a name that starts with that card. Every card after that, the name has to start with the last letter of the previous card. Banlist applies as normal. EXAMPLE: Randomly select J. Junk Synchron, Neo Space Connector, Reinforcement of the Army, Y-Dragon Head, Decode Talker, etc. etc. etc.

From the instant they went the grass strategy I was like "PUT IN THE DANDYLIONS!"

Feels like they were all banished to the shadow realm, and we're watching a duel from the other side!

"let's get right into it" he says after 16 minutes

Hardleg Joe has to be in one of these crazy Yu-Gi-Oh challenges are his thing

I love this. I'd love to see Dzeef, and I'd love the restriction for him to be Chaos MAX decks only

I love this, I think this is the best thing y'all done so far.

Nice job on the back and forth editing on the deck building. It really set a good juxtaposition for how things would go, and showed how similar or dissimilar you two were thinking.

i was screaming at the screen for him to use tidal effect lol

Now this is the content I subscribed for.

It probably sounds like a bad idea, but me and a friend had a fun time back in the day playing under a weird rule set. The rules for the duel were 1. You may only put monsters in your deck. 2. You may only play monsters of level 2 or lower from your hand. 3. Once per turn you can shuffle a card from your hand into your deck and draw a new card (free card trader) 4. During your end phase you may send any monster you control to the grave and special summon a monster from your deck who's star level is 1 higher than the sent monster. This monster may be played in face up attack or face down defense position. 5. instead of attacking monsters you attack your opponent, and they may choose to block your attack. optional rules 1. You may only bring out monsters of the same type as the sent monster (for example, lv 3 fiend to lv 4 fiend etc) 2. You may send multiple cards to level them up but for each additional monster after the first you must discard a card from your hand. 3. If your life points are less than your opponents you can play level 3/4 monsters from your hand. (for balancing purposes, can choose either 3 or 4) As a rule clarification, as you remove the ability for tribute summoning and such, the summon was considered a normal/tribute/special summon so you gained whatever effect the monster had coming into play under that condition. You also ignore any effect that states a monster can only be special summoned in this way. (unless you feel the need to restrict that) Granted when we played this, XYZ's weren't a thing, and synchro's were somewhat new, it was fun for us at the time. I'm sure you could create a rather over powered deck, we had a lot of fun with what we had. Would love to see you give it a try, but I understand if ya don't XD

I have never seen a Dueling Network game being played so politely and with no toxicity

I can't believe you almost COMPLETELY threw that game with the Dimension Fusion misplay LOLLL

When Cimo said "this has never been done before" he probably meant on his channel

I love the intro! My girl jumps every time I yell CIMOOOOOOOO!!!

Hardleg Joe is a great candidate for this format creation. He is a meme lord for decks and always thinks outside the box. Plus he is hilarious.

Building decks the hard way. Having fun with Cimooooooooo

Buildin' decks the hard waaaaay, Havin' fun with [Cimoooooooo], It's time for some Yu-Gi-Oh!, It's not the Deck Build Challenge.

14:43 I knew it Shapesnatch is banned also "Im paying for your chicken"

Watching a yugioh video after quitting for years only to see almost every card from my old decks is banned Sux I'll stick to Ghostrick i guess

This is very cool to watch here! I can't wait to see your other videos with this series. And I have a challenge for you and the other guest as well. I should say that the challenge will be an anime archetype (It can be from any generation [DM to Vrains], but the stipulation is that it can only be from that archetype and it has to be an archetype from that anime only like Heroes or even Stardust or something of the sort. No outside cards to help it. Gets the gears turning, but it is just a suggestion though. Anyways, keep up the great work! I can't wait for future videos.

Drinking game: Take a drink everytime Cimo says dude

Okay this is the kind of challenge I wanna see everyday And theb intro is as always a masterpiece second to none

Cimo sitting over there not searching with tidal eff, and jon sitting over there not activating the chicken game that cimo didnt get rid of

Next: We duel our mom

Here's an interesting idea: Only use cards released (maybe reprinted) during a certain era of the anime. Ex. A GX only format, 5D's only format, ARC-V only format. Cards released in between series counts as the previous era's cards. Maybe by Year too? Cards released only in 1999, or 2004 or 2013.

"NeVer BEen DoNe BeFoRE" Harldeg: Laughs in hidden

Cimo: "I gotta try to think of what he's using, and counter it, because then if I do that then I can do my thing... But I don't know what I want because--" *Meanwhile* Baby: "Yeah, let's get them Pot of Greeds."

Make it like this: Forbidden: 3 times Limited: 2 times Semi Limited: 1 times Edit: thanks for all the likes!

Cimo: "We can't use Norden, really, because we don't have Instant Fusion." ( 11:19 ) Me: How about Magical Scientist, searchable by Last Will, abused by Mass Driver? Real talk: You can make a Magical Scientist burn deck with this custom format.

Of course gotta have that Pot Of Greed X'D Their reactions to these banned cards made me laugh X'D

I love this, I'm gonna sub just for this series. You should do one where the only monsters you can have are 500 attack points or less.

So this is what we see instead of Throwback Thursday

"If it ain't broke, dont fix it"

I have wanted to see someone using only banned cards, the algorithm has blessed me.

Since you did a video on using cards that are banned use cards that are limited to 1! Also this video was awesome Cimoooooo!

Could do one where you can only use cards with “the” in the name of the card. Like dark magician the dragon knight, gizmek orochi the serpentron Sky slasher, etc? Could be neat

Next challenge: all cards on the Forbidden/Limited list are banned, and all other cards are limited.

This segment is gold😂

Would be interesting to see a Banned vs Limited vs Unlimited fight. Which is better? A few broken cards or a near unlimited diversity of sane ones?

Next: We duel using only Semi-Limited cards!

I only play Magic, but I can’t resist watching a banned card battle.

I really enjoy stuff like this! It was interesting to see what strategy you would choose.

There's an old Yu-Gi-Oh video game for the Wii (YGO 5D's Duel Transer) with a bonus postgame area containing almost exclusively duelists with illegal decks. I remember one had exactly that - a deck with nothing but banned cards (that said, it also actually had limited and semi-limited in there, and it had the banlist at the end of the Wii's wi-fi connection's life). That was the Synchro era, it was actually kind of easy to beat. Now, the illegal deck running Final Countdown + Stall + Flips + 3X Fiber Jar...

I was waiting for one of you to pull out Jace, the Mind Scuptor.

Cimooo: all cards from Banlist and 3 of a Kind too Also cimooo: takes some at Two or even one Lol 15:34

Deckbuilding with only banned cards: Pot of Greed into Graceful Charity into Pot of Graceful Greecharity.

Loved it!!! Suggestion for a deck challenge: each player has to use exactly one monster of each type in their main deck, except for Divine Beast (for a total of 23 monsters) and they can't use more than one monster per type for the Extra as well.

I'm over here, I remember when all of those old magic and trap cards where legal. I've seen a lot of broken decks from release to when Qli's where the top deck.

Do a duel where the only cards you can use are cards that were released in 2019 TCG

The Prisoner's Dilemma at work. Both of you play a suboptimal 60 card deck because the risk of allowing you opponent the Grass advantage is too great.

What does pot of greed do again ? 😂 god the amount of times the show had to explain it

I am loving this new series. How about a deck with just spells?

Damn, haven't played Yugioh since 2007 but I still remember some of these rules, at least what they were during my time. Royal Oppression destroys the magic/trap/monster card with effect that triggers a special summon, and that card goes to the grave. The monster from the grave is never summoned, or even interacted with. Yugioh has become a fairly ridiculous game since I used to play however, so I have no idea what the current ruling would be on it. Guess more than the cards, what era of rulesets are you playing under?

I like how neither of them thought to go with some of the truly broken full power combo decks like Spyrals, PePe or Goukis using stuff like Pot of Greed for consistency boosting; instead just going for the basic super strong cards like Snatch Steal, Confiscation, etc

I haven't played this game in eleven years.. so I'm not sure why it's in my recommended.. but the nostalgia. That ban list now is insane though.

Old Yugioh cards are my era

I've had this idea for years: Dueling using only cards with 3 or lower lines in its text. This is how I got a friend to play the game cause he was so overwhelmed with how much text cards have nowadays.

There is something i really want you to do, start a series about introduction to the most common cards used now like Ash Blossom etc, and explaining decks, like in depth.

I'm a Magic player, and I've almost never played YuGiOh, so I don't know what most of the cards do, but this was intriguing. 😄

next: We Dueled Using No Banned Cards

Next: We dueled without using cards! (only guns)

"Something that has never been done" How do you know? Have you witnessed every single duel in history?

discard effects are more powerfull when you draw so few cards at the start of the game(d.duo). dwaw effcts( POG) are stronger when your deck is only 40 cards and ALL other cards in your deck are multi purpose cards that work as combo pieces

Frustrated neither one of u used level eater in a self mill high level dragons build to use for link or tribute fodder

What is the name of the deck building software/game you are using, Cimooo?

more interesting to watch than the meta, that's for sure.

“Never been done before” hah me and my friends ALWAYS USE BANNED CARDS

Next challenge: every card in the game s limmited

Me watching this: ALEX STOP TALKING ABOUT CARDS AND BUILD YOUR DECK THERES NO TIME FOR THAT

You'd think they're talking to each other during deck building XD

It's funny. It's like the banlisted cards check themselves. This banlist duel was more strategic then unbanned one's when people drop 5+ monsters a turn. lol

Cards must start and end with the same letter.

This felt like a good old school game of yugioh where turns were strategic by looking at the outcome and your card effects. Not cards that combo and do shit for 30 minutes like today's decks.

All of those classic forbidden spells (Pot of Greed, Graceful Charity, ect) would have been my first go to.

when the newer cards have 10 different keywords and 20 paragraphs to read for their effect and then you compare them to pot of greed
