    Card Destruction only needs at least 1 player to be able to discard and draw. If it is the only card in your hand, you can still activate it as long as your opponent has at least 1 card in their hand. Similarly, if your opponent’s hand is empty, you need at least 1 other card in order to active it.

      Yea I was about to say the same thing. It's been years since I've ever played the card (I only play goat format and 2006 but this card is hella bad during those times) but I believe that just one player needs to have a card for it to resolve. It neither player would have cards then it cannot resolve and thus, cannot activate.

      It's also why the card destruction ftks work, cause on almost all, if not all, you card destruction while having no cards on your hand except card des, you also have no deck and your opponent's hand is over their remaining deck, so you can just card des, you dont draw cards and they cant draw enough and lose by overdecking

      You know, I wonder where the line is. Like, if there was a pot card that let your opponent declare a card(s) you couldn't use for the rest of the duel, would that be worth it? What about if it let them look through your deck and FD banish something? What about if it put you on 1LP so any kind of burn or successful attack did it?
      Because there are some things we don't do for a +1. There is a line somewhere. I'm just curious where it is.

    11:06 Rarran saying "this card became good because an archetype supported it" and then following that up with saying that it probably wouldn't see play in Hearthstone is crazy. Cataclysm had to get changed so that it no longer discards your entire hand simply because discard warlock got enough support. Discard warlock would play the shit out of card destruction, and if it costed anything less than like 6 mana, it would be a tier 0 deck.

    41:20 "If this card was still at 3 copies people would play it at three". It has actually been at 3 copies since the start of 2024 and it's rarely played. With the already insane consistency of modern decks and abundance of good generics, there's no need to play a card that's just a +0 when you could instead just put handtraps or boardbreakers in that slot instead, which you would much rather draw than upstart.
    The only time I remember a +0 draw being ran in a recent meta deck was a while ago in the OCG where Snake-eyes played 3 Chicken Game after limits to WANTED and Ash, which is because it also serves as a face-up card to send with Diabellstar after it's drawn you a card, technically making it a +1 instead of a +0.
    The fact that 3x Upstart is no longer a thing really shows how deckbuilding in Yugioh has changed. The main goal of free-slots in decks went from "more cards to find key pieces to your combo" to "more cards to stop your opponent from doing their combo".

    • @deesoff
      @deesoff 22 години тому

      Another factor is that a lot of decks now really don't care about sticking to 40 cards because of the combination of already very high consistency along with garnets that become worse in smaller decks. And obviously if you're already going over 40 then upstart becomes pointless (although there are still a couple exceptions of course).

    @7:00 *Card Destruction can be used so long as at least one player has a card in hand.* If _both_ players have zero cards in hand (or no cards other than _that_ copy of Card Destruction in the case of the person playing it from hand), *then* Card Destruction cannot legally be used. Under Konami (I don't recall it from the Upper Deck days), you also _cannot_ use Card Destruction if you have fewer cards left in your deck than you have in your hand. All of this is - or at least _was_ - quite relevant given the combo of Card Destruction and Serial Spell. Serial Spell *does* require you have a card in hand to discard for its cost, but I'm talking about how - if your hand size exceeded your remaining deck size - you wouldn't be able to play Card Destruction, even if you planned on chaining Serial Spell to it and thus emptying out your hand.

    19:20 He actually makes a pretty great point, this was especially in contention with Upstart Goblin in that you could argue that decks are already so consistent that they would prefer to see handtraps to interact on the opponent's turn instead of effectively a blank card. Now unlike Upstart Goblin, Pot of Greed and Graceful Charity are a different subject just because they're so egregious in card advantage why wouldn't you run them. But it is interesting that excessive consistency CAN end up being a hinderance and is usually taken into consideration in deck building.

    • @delta3244
      @delta3244 11 годин тому

      It's not that UG makes decks "too" consistent, the problem is that UG is a brick on your turn 0. If you're going first, UG reduces your deck size - simple as that. If you're going second, playing 3 UG instead of, say, 2 handtraps and 1 starter, makes your deck less consistent¹ because you cannot cycle UG for a handtrap on that turn. UG is not played in decks when it would make them less consistent going second. Smaller decks also play worse with engine requirements because bad cards to draw dilute the average power per card more in a small deck than a big one, so one might also avoid UG when playing too many engine requirements. Playing more cards increases the average power of your hands in those cases.
      ¹In a bit more detail, "consistency" when going first roughly equals "the odds of drawing enough combo pieces on my first turn." When going second on the other hand, "consistency" roughly equals "the odds of drawing enough handtraps in my opening hand and also drawing enough combo pieces on my first turn." UG helps with the "drawing enough combo pieces" part either way, but it hinders the "drawing enough handtraps" part.

It was briefly teched in Dragon Ruler as a SOMETIMES card as they full well legitimately could field the 2 tributes needed to pop it onto the board. It gets better because Yamata is a fire dragon, and thus fully valid for both of Blaster's effects, and a level 7 so it already slots in with all their support. Yamata would often be supplanted in it's spot by Obelisk the Tormentor, as Obelisk was very difficult to out in the mirror outside of another Obelisk, but it wasn't unreasonable to see Yamata come down itself and just dunk some people off the earth by drawing 3-5 cards.

    One other thing to mention, in regards to Beginning of the End, is that the draw 3 rarely builds towards something. If you're committed to dumping 15 monsters, there's very little else you can really do besides, I guess, draw into traps---which your opponent may have answers to. And, if you've spent all those monsters on extra deck plays, then chances are you're already setup and there's very little that you can actually _do_ with those draws that your board can't already do. (There's little point in drawing removal/negate/whatever cards if your big boss monsters are doing that anyway.)

      The costs for it are also quite high. 7+ DARK monsters in grave is a bit too high for a deck to hit turn one unless it's specifically going for mass graveyard shenans (in which case, BotE works against by removing those resources from the grave), and banishing the monsters essentially makes them unrecyclable compared to Avarice's shuffling back into the deck. It just doesn't really have a viable niche.

    One thing that Cimo didn't mention about Pot of Avarice is, it doesn't specify the monsters need to be Main Deck monsters. This was a big part of its strength, putting back Extra Deck monsters (most of which you'd only run at 1 copy) so you could bring them out again if you had the material, letting you either redo your deck's main combos or just have more options to deal with the board. Shuffling back Extra Deck monsters also means you wouldn't hurt the consistency of your Main Deck and makes it far easier to meet the 5 monster requirement than just Main Deck monsters would've.

  • @Ryukurai
    @Ryukurai 20 годин тому +3

    I could be wrong; but I think the difference between Pot of Avarice and The Beginning of the End is that Pot of Avarice is more susceptible to counter play due to the fact that it requires you to target the cards (and if one is removed it becomes invalid even if you still meet the minimal count); whereas Beginning of the End can only be countered if you are put below the minimal requirement (i.e. if you still have 7 or more cards after your opponent removes one, you can still remove 5 of the remaining since it doesn't specify that they're being targeted).

    Toon Kingdom protects the toon monster from Trapeze's destruction so you don't lose material, gives you some protection from damage so leaving a weak monster like sorc in attack becomes less of an issue.

    Minute 19: he has an amazing point yes the good decks would be more consistent but consistency isnt linear. Thats why its not optimal to run 18 starters for example. So those meta decks already have around 90% consistency and would only slightly increase in consistency while worse decks would have a higher jump. Making it probably more beneficial for inconsistent roge decks. Thats why cards like pot of prosperety are way more impactful in worse strategies then in top meta decks. So yes while annoying I do belive pot of greed isnt close as unhealthy to the game as commonly discussed. GC has to stay banned thougj as it enables combos and set up

    • @xakuray5522
      @xakuray5522 23 години тому +3

      Though I see the argument you're trying to make, and this is why modern deck don't run upstart goblin anymore (the small upside in consistency isn't worth the potential brick going second), you're missing 2 way more important factors.
      - First off, these cards are absolutely toxic as they make the game more affected by the coin flip and luck dependant in general as opening pot of greed or graceful charity over not opening them is a huge power swing, even when going second. They are in some ways even less balanced than Maxx C, for providing important card advantage but by favoring player 1 even more. And yes, even if they were to always trade 1 for 1 with an ash, it's an upside.
      - Second, even though the consistency increase they provide would be more important to less consistent, more degenerate strategies. It's important to remember these meta decks are already so consistent that they can afford to run ~40% if not sometimes ~60% staples, hand traps, etc. So, despite not really improving the combos they would make, these cards would provide more answers and counters to their opponent's strategy. Thus, providing value potentially even higher than the consistency gain to other decks.
      This is why these cards should never be unbanned and why almost all pot restrains are atleast being limited and even sometimes banned to this day.

    Masked sorc is a good card in critter. I play one copy in Muka Muka Turbo. but in that format its all about setting monsters and keepig your opponent guessing. set witch, set la jinn, set this guy, set soldier of stone. just keep them guessing until you can build up for a gameshot with last will cannon soldier raigeki and reborn or whatever else needed to go for game.

    To answer rarrans question about what would happen if graceful and PoG where at 3 right now, I don't agree with Cimo that nothing would change. Apart from droll being a must main I think either sky striker, dark world or purrely would rush to the top of tier 1. I think of all the meta decks only ryzeal (which isn't even out) would significantly improve with 3 pots.
    Purrely with 6 free draw spells and gy setup would be crazy, you guys have no idea. First you get to draw street almost every hand so you instantly invalidate half the hand traps your opponent has. Your deck can easily get to double noir with enough spells in rotation and your engine is pretty good going second so you can cut on the hand traps for more pots. I'd definitely try purrely first if they came back tomorrow.

    To be honest, I think Rarran is on to something. I think the consistency improvement to decent but not good enough decks would be much greater than it would be to already ultra consistent decks.

    The good thing about Trap Draw cards in older yugioh is that they can bait your opponent's destruction effects. They target to destroy and you just chain so you kind of plus one by making them waste a card. Was always a great feeling when you chain your Jar of Greed to your opponent's MST that was targeting it. It's funny that Cimo says this tactic is only just now becoming popular in retro formats because I did that all the time when I was a kid.

    To answer Raran’s question about Graceful Charity/Pot of Greed being fine because modern top tier decks are already incredibly consistent, the issue would then be that these decks could just dig for non engine. Graceful Charity in particular would be insane because you could just discard redundant hand traps. Like you don’t care about discarding your second copy of Ash because it has a HOPT. It’d also make side decked games incredibly swingy. The last thing the game needs is for decks to be able to dig for side deck pieces more consistently. That’s the main reason why Prosperity is as strong as it is and why it’s the strongest legal draw spell by a mile and in my opinion arguably the strongest draw spell of all time, only questionably behind Graceful Charity but absolutely ahead of Pot of Greed because none of the restrictions matter if it gets you to your 1 card starter or your turn ending side deck card like D Barrier. Meta decks would just use the draw spells to find hand traps in game 1 and side deck cards in game 2/3.

    I would argue that if you have a deck that has an insane ceiling but rarely gets to said ceiling then unbanning pot of greed and graceful might allow them to shake the meta. I can't think of any deck off the top of my head this would work with, but i do know that it would affect hyper consistent decks alot less than inconsistent ones.

    In the 5D era video games, I liked running 3 jars and 3 legacies in a deck built for level 8 synchros. Probably not that great objectively, but it was fun to be able to target one of those with Scrap Dragon and then chain it to draw before the double pop. Mostly just wanted having the possibility of the MST dream but with a little something else to help justify it.

    The Beginning of the End doesn't target the cards it removes so the only way for your opponent to disrupt it is to reduce the number of dark monsters in the graveyard below 5. With Pot of Avarice if any of the targeted cards leaves the graveyard the effect can't resolve.

    Card Destruction fun story: i was playing treasure Panda Exodia, my opponent went first, just set a card, and passed. I have no idea what he was playing. He hit me with Maxx C at the start of my turn. I had Treasure Panda in my starting hand, with a bunch of spells as draw cards/panda fodder fodder And Card Destruction was in my deck. My opponent banished one of my exodia pieces from my graveyard using his set Called by The Grave, and probably turned his toggles off. I played through most of my deck, extra deck included (there are quite a few extra deck monsters that are good for card draws in Treasure Panda exodia, let's take Formula Synchron, that level 3 cyberse synchro, corall dragon, or ravenous crocodragon as examples. But link spider, link 2 dark/earch charmers, seleene, accesscode could go into a neat combo if your opponent hits you with a dark/earch handtrap, with simply 2 normal monsters in hand, like 2 exodia limbs. The rest were just some nice beatsticks, like Baronne, Satellite Warrior, Stardust Charge Warrior, T.G. Hyper Librarian, etc.) Point is, my opponent Maxx C-d me, made sure I can't get to Exodia, and what I'd assume is he turned off his toggles. Because he had lover 25 cards in his hand by the time my combo finished, and I basically went through my whole deck. Than I hit him with card destruction, with my own hand almost empty. Deck Out victory. One of the 3 win cons of that deck. The Baronne/Accesscode combos are nice too, but generally Exodia himself is the main wincon.

    Beginning of the End is different from Pot of Avarice in that The beginning of the end does not target those 5 dark monsters so you don't have to select which ones first so if your opponent removes one it will still resolve. The 7 or more is an activation condition and if your opponent removes one to make you only have 6 it won't matter because the required condition was already met upon activation. The only problem you will run into is if your opponent makes you have less than 5 Dark monsters, then the card would not be able to resolve.

  • @MagnusvonYoshi
    @MagnusvonYoshi 3 години тому

    Beginning of the End's current PSCT reads "If you have 7 or more DARK monsters in your GY: Banish 5 DARK monsters from your GY; draw 3 cards." so your opponent cannot disrupt this the same way as Pot of Avarice

Dekoichi is completely terrible nowadays, but one might get the feeling that that is not the case after listening to how he describes the card.

    Funny thing semi-related to Morphing Jar. Because Jar would be very slow, and the Anime wanted these very back-and-forth games of cards constantly being played and more than 1 card per turn, the Anime created a spell card Coins From Heaven to just have both players draw back up to 6 cards in hand.
    Like other anime cards, it got printed in the physical game as total garbage because it's obviously insanely broken. But it's just kind of cool to think of how much fun a mutual hand refill would be in a very slow version of Yugioh.

    Pro Tip = Card Destruction + Serial Spell = GG.... I used to do this to people, it was great times...
    -Serial Spell copies card Destruction however it has the cost to discard your hand, doing so means the opponent will discard their hand twice. You will discard and draw nothing.
    Random Tip: Card Destruction triggers Dark Worlds...
