Dang. Can’t believe it has been 12 years already. Thanks for the shout out Cap G. This deck was a lot of fun to play. Looking back on it, I would have dropped Mirror Force for Call of the Haunted. Hated milling Jinzo and DMoC and only having Premature to fetch them back.
And plot twist for those who never watch GX anime in Japanese *ONE OF THE MAIN VILLIAN VOICE ACTOR IS TAKEHITO KOYASU AKA DIO* Also Arcana force AKA Part 3 of JoJo stands
The thing that made Airblade Turbo so unique too is Stratos was only available through the SJC magazine. That issue was not yet released to the public. Only people that were subscribed to the magazine got their copy of stratos early enough to play it. So there weren’t many copies in circulation. That day stratos was a $100 card
This video needs a part two. You forgot to mention so many things like Chris Bowling taking second place to Demise OTK at SJC Anaheim. The Limiting of Magical Stone Excavation which pretty much killed the deck for a period of almost a year. Perovic's TOP8 at SJC Washington with a semilimited mally and 3 Return from a Different Dimension and finally the resurgence during Costa Mesa and PTDN era.
Honestly this is my favorite part of your channel. I wasn't playing competitively during this time so I like the throwback to the old formats plus they help me theorycraft new versions of these old decks. Even if they don't work, the design phase of deck building is what I live for
Indeed gx era was a good time. Still remember my first "good" deck was every good cards for a standard Monarch deck, but played Evil Heroes and the creator instead of monarchs as those was hell expensive. Almost made the top cut at my nats with it xD
This was a crazy nostalgic video. I actually played at the St. Louis Shonen Jump and I even played Carlo Perez round 1 (possibly round 2) where he absolutely destroyed me (I was playing Dark World). Fun time overall though.
Just joined the game recently, so these videos are very helpful for me in understanding the history of the game. I look forward to seeing more in the future.
DDT still is a viable deck, though it's obviously less focused on Dimension Fusion blowout and more on the newest D-hero support. The build I used can spam Diamond Dude 4 or 5 times in the first turn
Spells excavated off diamond dude can have their effects used without paying the card's cost. Cost-cheating (what was then) powerful spells like lightning vortex or destiny draw, I assume the deck out valued the opponent very quickly.
I love watching your Story Videos CapG. Would be great if you would make a video on how Volcanics, out of nowhere, topped a Regional in 2015. (Beating meta decks like Burning Abyss and Qliphort) Day 97 of waiting for new Volcanic support to arrive
@@DavidD31312 Great question. Volcanics are an archetype in the Yugioh trading card game released in the booster set "Force of the Breaker" from 2007. They are considered one of the few (if not, the only) pure pyro type deck/archetype in the game. Unlike in the ocg (Japan), the American part of Konami and Yugioh, was aware of their needs of that time and gave them a tcg exclusive card in the form of Volcanic Rocket. To this day Rocket is considered the best Volcanic card, together with Volcanic Scattershot and Blaze Accelerator Reload. In their span of 12 years (at the time of writing this comment), they have received ONLY 1 new support card, and that was Blazze Accelerator Reload (Many believe that this card is one of the best support cards to ever be released in the game). With just one card they managed to top a Regional and defeat the top meta decks of that time (Burning Abyss and Qliphort). Sadly, 5 years later, Volcanics and pyro type monsters in general, have not received any new form of support, which makes them the least supported type in the entire Yugioh game (together with Reptily.......and NO, Divine is not counted here). Lets hope that Volcanics will get new support and bring a new era and life into all pyro type decks out there. Hope this was somewhat usefull.
The only reason why rare players plays Diamond Dude it's only because he can pretty much ignores some of the requirements for example: 1. Lightning Storm, pretty much destroys either S/T or Monsters on your opponent's side of the field with no cost. 2. Draw power like PoE, PoD or that Darkness card that let's you have a plus two does have a cost, bit with him, you might have a huge advantage ignoring the cost. 3. He can also create more Tokens. Remember now, Diamond Dude doesn't target at all and yes, you can chain it with Veiler or Infinite Imperence on him which can prevent him from activating his own ability.

Do not cite the deep magic to me, CapG, I was there when it was written. Seriously though, good vid, brought back a ton of memories.
Before Stratos, I had a DDT deck that ran the Silent Swordsmen for some reason. Those were the days...
