Cimo's protagonist luck aside, he's got the full Solemn brigade plus a TT and Bottomless and multiple Twin Twisters. Pendulum as a strat is extremely fragile while he has all of that, especially something like Igknight that commits its entire hand to setting up the face up extra deck and is left on next to nothing if the Pend Summon gets stopped. It's a great deck but Cimo has literally all of the tools to stop it.
This is one of those times you really feel the "every card is the best card in your deck". Also dogfighter was there. Easily fhe worst card in Cimos deck. Still wins the game for him though
Yeah exactly this comment. I’d say it’s hard to watch cimo dog on gage like this almost every single episode but gage does it to himself sometimes with the deck choices; the series feels hella unwatchable sometimes though like it’s painful watching this back and having gage no “nooo, NOOOO NOOOO NOOO!” Like a child losing his tennis ball to rip current.
7:24 'twas a 20th anniv pack that with some anime (re)prints. The OCG version was smaller but also had reprints of things like Duster and it's own new rarities (millennium secret and ultra) while they filled ours with missing alt arts of basic anime cards in nothing special rarities. One of the many perfect examples of why they should just match releases worldwide and not just in name only.
Worst than having MBT reading all the subs while the video is rolling is to speed up the whole thing with a high pitch voice. It's already a challenge to hear the video he's reaction, now it just gets worse. But I appreciate your efforts, Vlad. Please keep up the amazing work as always.
I always look for cascada’s comment in cimos videos to I can skip right to the duels cimo talks for way too long. I get he’s hustling for that ad revenue
I think MBT fundamentally misunderstands what makes the Progression Series work. Progression is at its best when Cimo is out here topdecking like a god and making Gage scream and mald in frustration. This is a golden formula for comedy. When Gage wins, one it’s like “yeah, the guy with the much better deck won, what do you expect”, but crucially, he is MUCH more entertaining as a loser than as a winner. When he wins he gets all cocky and immediately becomes insufferable. But Gage in the tunnel will never not be funny. Gage always talks a big game and is quick to talk trash, so it’s hilarious and satisfying when he loses, ESPECIALLY when it’s his fault. Gage being the lovable loser perfectly contrasts with Cimo being the protagonist who prevails in the end despite the jankier deck. Cimo is boring when he loses - he just gets kinda salty - but he’s a great winner. Progression follows in the footsteps of Seinfeld, establishing great characters with a fun dynamic that NEVER changes, because character development is strictly prohibited.
Yeah, I think that's why season two is so much worse than season one. The closeness and back-and-forth dynamic just doesn't work. Gage is insufferable when he's winning, and Cimo is boring when he's losing. I do feel sorry when Gage gets mercilessly pummeled, but it's just more entertaining.
- Gage plays another all in combo deck - Cimo has a single card that interrupts him - Cimo is the luckiest protagonist in the world. Just ban 'whatever card is annoying chat'.
I dont understand why streamers keep naming all the subs like robots in every video. I mean, nobody likes it, right ? Takes forever and it is completely useless content. Even if I would donate I would not find it gratifying to be part of this 2min of unbearable nothing. Maybe I am just dumb and that thing is obligatory, but I always find that absurd
Can we stop with the annoying 1 card "oops, i guess you won't be playing today!"? It's getting kind of annoying to watch games decided by those types of cards, there's nothing interesting about it.
This is why pendulum and ritual are flawed. If you bring any amount of good removal you're pretty much screwed. You can't really prepare against this. Correct me if i'm wrong though I don't remember every card Gage has so I might be missing something
>apologizes for the delay on the upload
>the stream this upload is from is still live as of writing
People chatting "TUNNEL" like Gage had literally any other option than to play into the interaction.
Shouldn't have picked pends, DM staples 4 life
Playing Igknights in the first place was the tunnel

I played it at 2x speed and it was fucking hilarious! XD
I watched cimo's original video and I also x2 his explanation of the set
It would be funny if it was a different voice every time
Hard disagree. I absolutely loved it

dawg what are you talking about
Couldn't agree more since Gage hates budget players
Yeah, I think that's why season two is so much worse than season one. The closeness and back-and-forth dynamic just doesn't work. Gage is insufferable when he's winning, and Cimo is boring when he's losing. I do feel sorry when Gage gets mercilessly pummeled, but it's just more entertaining.
This episode was basically the Yu-Gi-Oh equivalent of Looney Tunes
just a sickening amount of bullying
This episode was very funny.
13:34 Cimoo acknowledges that it goes to extra deck, then within a second forgets and asks if it goes to hand lol 🤦♂️
mbt sounding far more pleasant at the start of the video
The react channel is back, why MBT keeps doing the sub messages?
I get its deck building skill based and draw luck but damn i hate seeing cimo always beating gage without him being able to put up a fight
Wonderful example as to how inherently fragile pend is. And this was without anti-spell
Gage should have bounced the Witch instead of Dogfighter, having a negate is nice and all but why even let the monster activate?
Episode should've been called "Well Gage..."
Let’s be honest we root for gage because he’s the underdog, but see cimo not letting him cook is funny af
MBT is just wrong about this
Any episode where Gage loses and the quality of his life is diminished by some amount is automatically a good episode
This is the most disturbingly parasocial comment I may have ever seen 😂 You do know that Gage doesn't know you exist, right?
MBT & Friends vs MBTYGO_ProGrussys.
How much is Cimo paying him to basically be his punching bag for content?
- Gage plays another all in combo deck
- Cimo has a single card that interrupts him
- Cimo is the luckiest protagonist in the world. Just ban 'whatever card is annoying chat'.

Vlad is God.
KING VLAD HAS RISSEN
god this episode you could make a nsfw voice pack with gage
The episode was fine, mbt whines a lot
so, like every episode ever?
I mean it's annoying seeing Cimo always have the exact card he needs every time
Go go Cimoo!😊
This is honestly one of their worst weeks
Can we stop with the annoying 1 card "oops, i guess you won't be playing today!"? It's getting kind of annoying to watch games decided by those types of cards, there's nothing interesting about it.

@@senseisawkTwin Twisters was in his side deck, but basically they banned the other good spell/trap removal.
Idk what to comment so I’ll be as uncreative as possible
“First”
There's no way cimo isn't cheating now
You do relize his deck is literally filled with outs right?
cimos main deck alone is basically build to out pendulum decks.
How would bro be cheating
