Yugioh Player Reacts To Best Magic Cards Ever 

It's really not. Yu-Gi-Oh is much more straightforward while magic has more complicated steps to play.

Yugioh, straightforward Those 2 words don't belong in the same sentence​@@awesometubing9471

​@@awesometubing9471 you really don't know how hard yugioh is in pro play

The idea though, is thay you can play a card of good strength by 'tributing' (using) other cards

​@awesometubing9471 what??? Like the opposite is true. You're clearly not that familiar with either game

They all look the same but but Pokémon players are all gross. Even the pretty ones

My guess is it's because he isn't thinking about yugioh (I'm a yugioh player myself)

But how does he smell

@@felipemontes6010 The guy looks well-kept. Come on.

@@Dj87887 hay just saying both mtg and yugioh tournaments have rules on ppl smelling

Unless you're playing SHS

​@@baxterbruce9827no they would still play it. Having a 31 card deck would be worth the risk.

@@DrAiPatch A LOT of SHS effects DEMAND a GY void of spells and traps

@@baxterbruce9827 ya thats why you would use them after you built your bored to get into hand traps

if both pot of greed and posg not banned and a real card people just no longer play super heavy samurai. You wont able to beat a non meme with both of them generating plus out of tin air with SHS

Ah I see, you are a man of culture

Also notice that ancient recall, huge growth and i believe some other cards use a brown card icon : this is magic's card back design Starter deck makes 5 color dots appear on Isaac's face : Magic's color circle There are some other references to Magic I guess, but I cannot remember them all

​@@Anaklusmos42theres a couple items named after magic cards, only one i can remember rn is saguine bond. Edmund mccmillen also designed a card for m15

@@ianshevlin299 this I didn't know for the card he designed ! Incredible

Yup

tbf its all about resources in all card games pot of desires is a -9 but its still constantly played in decks that require you to draw certain cards or brick

​@@namo2403Desires is a straight +1 though, the whole point is that you didn't have access to the cards you got rid of anyway, so you don't lose advantage by using it.

My brother in christ desires is not -9. The cards you “lose” are not cards that you had access to anyway. Remember, cards in deck are as good as useless until you get them out of the deck. The only drawback of desires is risk of losing important cards, which is why it is usually only played in decks that run several copies of their core cards so you are unlikely to ruin your strategy with bad luck

​@@Aaron0000014 thats not how Yuigho works if your playing cards you don't have 16 ways to access your they are hand traps that you want in your hand.

@@DrAiPatch Ya and you get those handtraps in hand by playing desires. I am just pointing out that you cant go -9 in card advantage when you didnt have those 10 cards to begin with. I wonder if people who think desires is -9 consider the start of the game as +35 with a full deck?

Impossible, nobody knows what pot of greed does, just like Negate Attack...

Same thing I was thinking

The thing about the lotus is~ in the format it's legal in, the game is over before it matters

​@@aWildKITsune This, you are probably dead before they equalize. If you're not dead, it's because it's control shenanigans and your stuff is dead at least.

This is just for fun so don't take it too seriously; An important thing to remember is that moxen and lands don't actually generate infinite mana only by the number of times it been tap. Its not very relevant when the games end in 1,2,or 3 turns. They do no represent infinite value when turns are finite, unless you combo off. Lands are also much worse due to being gated at once per turn but better in the sense that "destroy non-land permanents" is a common clause but obviously "as many moxes as you want" is way more powerful. Running lands risk bricking versus just running moxen, it mostly because all fast mana is limited to 1. It would be interesting to see how few lands would be run if it was unrestricted. There also the matter of card efficiency being 1 card to get 3 mana, all color, and the reach of having more mana in a single turn to use a powerful spell, and opening up option that would be otherwise dead cards. In the context of the game or format the fact that lotus is gone afterwards is NOT actually that important because the game is so fast and tempo loss so significant, the most valuable tap is the first one and each subsequent ones are less valuable, this is the Time Value of Mana since doing stuff now is more valuable then doing stuff later. Even if you do manage to tap a mox for 3 times over 3 turns, the value of the mox still does not equalized the value generated by a B. Lotus and its unlikely 4 or 5 turns still appear to be "worth it". Does sticking around add value, yes and we can analyze to what degree, Moxen>L.Petals barely and not in all situations. So a triple L.Petal condense into one card makes the most powerful cards in the game, the moxen, look terrible in comparison. Moxes are somewhere between 1< fast mana but

Don't forget you're talking about a yugioh player, where games may take a while, but are decided by turn 3 on average, so it wouldn't even equate to a black lotus by the time its over. Pace is huge in TCGs, and realizing how fast yugioh is compared to every other TCG puts into perspective that Konami needs to slow it the hell down to bring in new players

Nah, that is ancestral recall

Facts this card is only comparable to Pokemon not Yu-Gi-Oh. Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't have a mana base or anything that makes them able to play the game by using a certain resource. Yu-Gi-Oh is magic without having to use mana.

But what does pot of greed do ?

@@awesometubing9471just imagine this as a spell that lets you special summon a Monster 3 tribute points higher than normal

​@@awesometubing9471 That's not exactly true. Yu-Gi-Oh DOES have resources, but they're more ephemeral than Magic's. While Magic lets you do anything you want (outside of rare hard 1/turn effects), so long as you can pay for it, Yu-Gi-Oh does have the hard limit of only a single normal summon effect, outside of very rare effects that give you a second. Yu-Gi-Oh's resource is cards. Draw and searching is everything in Yu-Gi-Oh, the same way mana is everything in magic, so comparing Black Lotus to Pot of Greed is actually quite valid.

Preview of future video!

The YGO player here is the new showhost for our YGO channel :) we've been recording videos and will launch that channel back up again in a week or two

@@CardmarketMagic That's great! Looking forward to it

It's a mana rock nothing more. It doesn't draw cards, help you search or anything like pot of greed.

Pot of weed lmao

Weed makes you not want to kill your enemy.

You have to sacrifice it to get the mana, so you have to find a way to get it back onto the field to keep using it. Which is absolutely doable, but it does require a combo of some kind

It's one (of the many) things that make Lurrus one of the most overpowered card in Vintage. Before the companion nerf you could Lotus out Lurrus and replay the Lotus.

They really should it would boost sales and Yu-Gi-Oh just broke the world record for most attendance for a TCG event.

Yes this is our new YGO showhost. We will be launching new videos on that channel in a week or two :)

@@CardmarketMagic Niiice. Looking forward to both that channel and this channels content

pot was broken the moment it came out what are you talking about? It was an auto-include from minute 1

Pot of Greed didn't "break the game" but it was pretty much a must-have in every deck since there wasn't a single downside to running it.

That and you have to sacrifice the lotus

That would be time walk

With other powerful cards, once is all you need. Plus you can recur it

@@iankane3732 that one is certainly strong. But imagine being able to cast it again from the graveyard alongside black lotus, moxen, rituals and whatnot. If the card resolves, the game is often just over.

@@solcloudchaser4988 yawg's will is really only used in storm decks. Cards like black lotus, time walk, ancestral recall and sol ring are so flatly ridiculously powerful they go in every and any deck. Yawg's will is great but it requires other cards to be strong, the other cards stand alone. Yawg's will is not in the same conversation power level wise as the power 9.

@@solcloudchaser4988 if we are being 100% honest underworld breach is probably a better version of yawg's will at this point. There's a reason breach is banned in legacy and breach is a top tier deck in vintage, whereas yawg's will is legal in legacy and doesn't see much if any representation in vintage. Yawg's will isn't as good as it used to be either.

price in that case would have nothing to do with power. The reason dark ritual is cheap and lotus is not isnt power, its availability. If black lotus would not be reserved list, it would be a 5 dollar card

I mean, all of those (minus the land) are very old and very expensive cards. They're also banned in effectively every format. So they don't have any impact on modern play.

Yes, and no. MTG works by a mana system restraining its action economy; in order to cast a card, you pay the cost listed at the top right. Black Lotus costs 0, free, taps (turns sideways, to 'exhaust' it) and then sacrifices itself (goes to GY.) It taps for 3 of any color in a game where you can play one basic land (a seperate kind of card, typically say 'Tap : produce a mana of a color the card does creates') per turn, functionally ramping the speed you play at. Pot of Greed is similar in that YGO has no mana restriction but you could compare it to skipping three turns worth of delay, and could also be used to draw more cards or get MORE mana, or play creatures...

I'd say it's similar to getting any card that gives you extra Normal Summons in how much it can drastically speed up building up a board.

We're talking about a format that is absolutely busted though. 2 mana can take you an extra turn. 3 can reset every one's hands. 1 can draw 3 cards. 1 can grab any card in your deck and put it on top, 2 can put any card from your deck into your hand. So 3 mana for free on turn one is absolutely devastating. Sure, your analogy is kinda accurate, but only if you don't realize that my cards that cost 3 or less are equivalent in power level to your strongest boss monsters..

That is one of the reasons why I can't play 50 copies of it 😅

What's funny is some people believe that sol ring is in some ways better than black lotus. Or the one ring is better than ancestral recall.

@@awesometubing9471 These are reasonable takes, sol ring is in many cases better then lotus, both see extensive vintage play

@@ich3730 Seeing the same amount of play in the same format does not mean they are on the same power level. Context is every thing. Both cards are similar in what they do but they're still not on the same power level. They're both restricted to 1, so people want to use any thing that is similar to Black Lotus. Sol Ring does have some upsides to it of course, but it doesn't match the raw power that Lotus has.

So? If you're playing with lotus and moxen then the deck you got ain't playing many if any multicolor spells.

@@tonysmith9905 fair. It's just it has a weakness. Granted its a small one, but still a weakness.

He had the card in front of him and read it :) he knows what they do

Pretty sure there's literally a card that gives you 1000 mana from one of the joke sets It's close enough

​@@baxterbruce9827 Mox Lotus 15 to cast T: infinite mana. 100: to add one mana of a color to mana pool. You don't lose life to mana burn.

Omniscience lets you play everything for free, that's pretty close

We have multiple cards that make your deck free. We also have hundreds of combos that make you gain infinite mana. Both dont create an experience close to yugioh, since these combos end the game instantly, you never have infinite mana long enough to "play the game like yugioh"

You really dont know why having double colorless energy thats 50% better is broken?

You also have to be able to get it on the board turn one tho.

MTG Arena has had omniscience cube for a few years now, just google that format.

We need mana on turn one to win the game before the opponent gets the opportunity to react. The only thing stopping Black Lotus is counterspells that don't cost mana.

Only plus 10 what kind of unoptimized deck are you playing Dark world?

But mana advantage is important.

@@DrAiPatch Bro you know what I meant, i just did not want to make magic players cry too much.

Lotus is legal in vintage, cube and casual magic.

Different countries can have their own famous players who aren't famous otherwise, because they don't speak english and they don't make their own content. They just participate in tournaments and win.

So negative, he could be good, he could be a new addition to the ygo creators and personalities we know. Id welcome a new face in the ygo content i watch.

And I do not care about any name mentioned… I just ask for Joschua Schmidt back at their Studio 🎉

I mean, none of the MTG hosts are known names too ( beside maybe thoralf, have seen him at events ). Nobody gives a fuck who carl is, yet we still love to watch him

Mana burn isn't in the game anymore.

Thats not how mana burn worked

No one plays these. They are too expensive. It would be like saying talent shows are pay to win because you can recruit Elton John and Dave Grohl as your backup band :P
