    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.

    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.

      Well some of them are context dependent depending on the deck. Some decks, you don't want to banish random cards from your ED for Extrav. Lab or Eldlich, it's just Pot of Greed.
      Some don't mind banishing 10 as long as you can combo off for Desires (or if they benefit from having banished cards). Virtual World can, with Nyannyan, recover facedown banished cards

    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.

    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 8 годин 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).

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.

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.

    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).

    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.

    Whats weird with card destruction and Morphing jar from a HS perspective is the disruption you can do to your opponent with these cards, especially if your playing a warlock card destruction deck. because your basically going positive with your cards (kind of like dark world in yugioh) wile making your opponent hate you for getting rid of potential combo cards as unlike yugioh, the graveyard is not a thing and the cards discarded by hand are gone basically forever. these kinds of cards in HS would be considered some of the most toxic cards in the game especially in wild.

    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.

    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 8 годин тому +2

      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.

    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.

    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.

      You can't activate a card where the conditions can't be met at all.
      There has to be at least one card that it can discard even with the "as possible" stipulation.

    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.

  • @lorenztor1990
    @lorenztor1990 29 хвилин тому

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Holy crap the Maliss archetype thats out now could use Beginning of the End as a free reset plus 3 cards, obviously super situational to have an empty board and live but if your opponent manages to whipe your board of links this card could effectively give you back all of the Maliss monsters and draw 3

    Fun fact about graceful charity: Chinese ygo player hosted competition with no ban list before, and obviously we know the best deck is that deck, but here comes the funniest thing, graceful charity are in the deck while pot of greed aren't because "Card is not efficient enough"

  • @pretends2know
    @pretends2know Годину тому

    In the great Pot of Greed vs. Graceful Charity debate, I personally think that Graceful Charity wins because the floor and ceiling of Pot of Greed's power is a +1. The floor of Graceful Charity is a 3-for-3, but the ceiling is much, much higher than a +1.

  • @trevizee806
    @trevizee806 5 годин тому

    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.

    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...

  • @DoctorFalchion
    @DoctorFalchion 4 години тому

    I'm kind of with Rarran on Graceful Charity (not so much Pot of Greed) actually changing the top decks. Namely, that more powerful decks held back by banlist limitations to their consistency - namely Tearlaments - become disproportionately better.
    I think, if you introduced 3x Graceful Charity into the format and no other changes, Tearlament at least starts consistently topping again.

    *Card Destruction was a deck staple in early Yu-Gi-Oh.* I mean _early_ early Yu-Gi-Oh, maybe just the first six months to (upwards of) two years. Remember, just because you could reclaim Raigeki from your Graveyard with Magician of Faith *didn't* mean it was okay for it to be tossed to draw a single card.
    Speaking of Flip Effect Monsters like MoF, there wasn't an easy or effective way to revive them facedown from the Graveyard (or face-up then flip them back down) back then. This was the time when you just had *one copy* of Monster Reborn for revival purposes, so even Summoned Skull hitting your discard pile off of Card Destruction was iffy.
    I _think_ (hey, it's been over 20 years) there was a period where Card Destruction saw less play in extended the early days (first five years?), but then there's be another combo that made it return to - if not staple status - commonly-played-card status. *Think of it this way:* Graceful Charity releases, now you're running three of it in your deck - *Oh wait!* - now GC is down to one per deck so Card Destruction returns to fill a slot. Oh, and along would come Call of the Haunted and Premature Burial to help Monster Reborn...

    Theoretically I could see the meta changing if pot and graceful were legal if the power level of the less consistant decks was high enough, the main issues are games 2 and 3 imo, if graceful charity was at 3 decks like dark world, fabled and infernity would be a lot better than they currently are but the best endboard they could theoretically put up wouldn't be that much better, maybe they'd win more games but they still wouldn't be ble to compete in a best of 3
