Important thing for everyone to realize, you can only summon your deck master 6 times before it kills you. 7500lp for 5 additional summons. and if someone burns you for 500 you can only summon 5 times total. also you are facing 3 opponents with 18 cards to interrupt you with.
That latter notion introduces a political element to the game very much like commander in magic - people gang up on table wide threats, so reducing what you play turn 1 to limit how much people see you as a threat is much bigger in this format. I think it adds taste, but political games can and often will devolve into personal vendettas.
Decided to build my own domain deck while I watched this. I ended up making a dragon deck with Dragunity Areadbhair as my deck master so I could use dragons and winds. Why wind? Well, Galaxy Tomahawk and Auroradon are wind and the Dragon Rulers are, of course, dragons. Along with the fact that all the Guardragons, Dark Matter, and Eclipse Wyvern are all playable, the deck is absolutely nuts. First test hand I did I ended with Borrelend, Savage w/Triple Burst equipped, Spheres, Baronne, Regained to revive Druiswurm, and Max Metalmorph to tribute the Druiswurm or Magnamhut summoned off Spheres to bring out Fullmetal
That's pretty impressive, just keep in mind that building a huge board in domain format will make the other players go after you, so be sure you can hold them off before you can start going in for big damage.
I'm not a domain expert, but wouldn't it be better to put another WIND Dragon as a deck master that starts your plays or makes use of most of your main deck cards instead? Something like Arma Gram or Arma Leyvaten, Mystletainn, Dragunity Dux, ecc
@@domainformat well that's if you compare it to a starter. But if the boss monster is a main deck one with a proper summoning condition it would be better than using an extra deck monster I think, unless the extra deck monster would be required in 2-3 copies. Really depends, but dragunity main deck monsters are good in this cass
I really hope Joshua enjoys playing the format, it's been my main way of playing yugioh for a year and getting more players would be amazing for the community!
@Gymantis Right now we have a store locator on the domain format website that shows all the stores that officially support domain format, but you can always ask people in your locals to try it out with you. If you mean online duels, we currently don't have a way of finding games without the discord server since we're still a fledgling community, and many dueling websites/programs don't support 4 player free for all duels.
Idk if the rules work exactly this way but if you make your deck master number 103 ragnazero you get a water/fairy and you get the “number” archetype which opens up rhongonyniad and shock master.
also dies to poison of the old man cuz he spent 7500 lp on his deck master turn 1 and forgot its 3 turns till he can attack. and he is facing 3 opponents with 18 cards in their hands.
Honestly its super interesting in this form, cards like titanocider and vivid trail that infinitely recur themselves are so strong. Same with easy to recur bodies such as eldlich and morganites as well, the new one and the old one must be good in this format.
looks fun, I don't know the format but having Goblin Bikers gone wild as a deck master seems like you could have lots of fun, all goblin cards including goblin bikers, fiend for tour guide fiendish rhino, kagemucha knight, full fiendsmith access. maybe I've been playing to much goblin biker.
FYI, you can only properly summon your deckmaster. Not activate effects that would special summon them, you cant activate any effects in the deckmaster zone. If it was worded like Cyber Dragon with a built in summon, it would work. But that pesky colon means it activates
This ruleset looks fun to play infernoble in. You play all the names at 1 anyway half the time and you get isolde and baronne and access to all fire and warriors so snake eye package, stuff like s:p and promethean in extra.
The only cards I can think of that fits for the deck master that Josh didn't add is maybe Gameciel (who is an Aqua) if he wants a Kaiju and potentially? Eldlitch? Just because he's running a lot of Spells and Traps so having a recurring monster might be helpful depending on the board state.
I play Branded, with Titaniklad as the DM. It's a dark, which opens up Predaplants, a dragon, which opens up Bystials, and mentions Albaz and Dogmatika. It also has a power level that's easily scaled forward or back. Like Commander, you have to actually talk with your opponents to work out exactly what kind of game you want to have, a skill Yugioh players desperately need to pick up.
chat mad trolling lol. "Make gigantic spright your deckmaster for access to all level/rank/link 2s" : Monster level/rank/link count is neither an archetype nor is it a specific mention. That be like dragon capture jar or buster blader giving you access to all dragons because they mention dragon types. "Evil twins and live twins are different archetypes" : even if that's true. both specifically mention Li-la and Ki-sikil
I had to build four decks ahead of time. I built one and proxied three others. If everyone is sitting around bored at the LGS, suggest it! when you have the decks to lend, they are far more willing to try it out!
the deck kills itself too fast. you cant kill 3 opponents before you deck out. atleast if you are trying to goo full crazy combo. its good but not broken.
@@yugiohcommander Yea but he's playing runick. There's an argument that playing SSM for the search alone is worth it, and there's also an argument that it's still good as he won't always have runicks, but I figured he's more likely to put the one in than to put both.
The whole time I was thinking King of the Swamp (aqua) allows you to make Rulkallos easily too if you don't get access to Kitkallos. Also Eldlitch seems too good to not include in a deck running that many traps, as a recursive boss monster or allowing you to pitch dead traps from hand.
While Puddingcess is sweet, the better Madolche Master is probably her little sister Peting is a one card combo with an empty grave, and summons her big sister to go into Chocolate
Oh wow, I played this format a bunch back at the start of the year, but I was still new at the time, so I ended up kind of putting it aside as I got more engrossed in Advanced. It's really cool to see it gain more traction, though.
I got incorrigibly angry at the person who asked if you could use gigantic sprite to get access to all the 2's, since I actually read the part of the rules where it tells you what DOESN'T count as a domain. I shouted (to myself) "JUST READ!" And after a moment, remembered which community this is, and that I'm actually an outlier. I'm sorry Spright question person. You do not deserve my anger, only my pity.
You could probably make a funny HERO deck with all of the random archetypal/bad fusion spells over the years. Not sure whether you'd want your deckmaster to be Stratos (no special summon condition means it always takes your Normal, but the searcher seems powerful) or maybe Faris (gives you an extra body for fusion/link nonsense, but if you draw the garnet Increase or Vyon you'll be in trouble as you search up the fourth best Vision Hero... Minimum Ray... Maybe if there's more back and forth combat in this format you could do some nonsense with Spirit of Neos? The more I talk about this the more copium it seems
Hmm, if I pick Surgical Striker H.A.M.P.(always treated as a Sky Striker card), would that give me an on-demand Kaiju-like effect? Or would I be stuck using it as a better Bull Blader/Warrior Lady by summoning it to my side? And yeah the idea here is Striker/Orcust/Dark Pile shenanigans.
According to Yugioh Commander, cards that are treated as multiple attributes such as LaDD and Invoked Elysium do in fact count as having all of them in their Domain. "That's broken!" You might say, but the dude has a video explaining why that's not really the case. Suffice to say that, yeah, you can have a monster that's all attributes as your deck master, but due to all of them basically being vanilla monsters, that hamstrings you about as much as helps you.
I think for myself I’d consider as a fun deck centurion with gargoyle as the deck master. Gives you access to whole centurion core, bystials, blazar and calamity
Centur-Ion would be really strong because it plays on the opponent’s turn and accrues free advantage every End Phase. This is a Battle Royale style format with multiple opponents so you get to reset the OPT clauses multiple times before your turn rolls around. The only problem is that you’d never get off the ground with how easily the deck is interrupted and the deck won’t be consistent enough with Gargoyle being worthless for starting combos.
@@inazumatan7050 i thi k the idea is that it basically lets ypu play dragonlink and the dark pool with access to so many various tuners and extenders that you probably can make auxila quite comfortably
They are solid for pile decks. But regularly you will be targeted or at higher power levels losing a deck master can be rough. Not to say it's not a valid trade off but that 7th card is huge
@@domainformat so the point is that you can't actually use Elysium in the game itself, and so it's a disadvantage. You had to decide whether it is worth being able to play all the monsters available in the main deck. good point! Thank you
So as a Branded Andy does this format consider Fallen of Albaz as part of all branded lore or do you only gain access to cards that specifically mention fallen of albaz? like if I have Fallen of albaz as my Deck Master do I have access to Despia, some bystials, some of the missing branded spell cards that specify despia or dogmatica?
You would only have access to Dark and/or Dragon monsters. You can still play Branded with a Chaos deck master or the Lubellion/Albion fusions since they let you play Light and Dark monsters, which is almost all of the albaz stuff.
lore? by lore a lot of things are tied. but you gotta go with archetypes. no, fallen of albaz is not from the branded archetype. what you want is a guy with a good type and attribute. so you can tie all the archetypes you want into the deck
As always people need to be realistic, that ygo by nature is not a game that target these type of market, it's focus on their domestic audience and market. To make it happen you have to make the Japan side of the playerbase to rally Konami making this format supported, if you can't then sorry no amount of complaints would work and if people quiting and profit in red, Konami would straight up discontinued the game in the west.
@@r3zaful That is not really true tho... The Time Wizard format is not popular in OCG, but it is quite popular in TCG. I know the Time Wizard Format is not fully supported by Konami, but they still hold the Time Wizard format often for OTS and many TCG events. Maybe the Domain Format can grow like the Time Wizard format right now.
@@GearOFFBlackI barely saw any people who play time wizard had more than 1k views in all platforms, that is as niche as it can get. I don't live in tcg countries but That impression and people review about that format doesn't seems popular enough to warrant an actual support from the main company to acknowledge it and make products specifically for that format, not to mention it can't sell new cards because of locked card pool.
@@uuh4yj43 people like commander the format, but wizards has been on a race to make product designed for other formats sell to commander players too, so much so that powercreep has been skyrocketing exponentially in magic in general, since Commander is an eternal format. Modern Horizons II pushed the envelope on that, and we got Nadu which was a horrendous play experience for modern and legacy, then after the ban, wizards said in a blog that the card was designed for commander and that they also didn't playtest the version that went into print...
@uuh4yj43 The actual play mechanics of the format itself is generally fine, however WotC started printing overpowered cards in every product specifically geared towards commander players, which negatively affected the health of all other formats, most of which WotC just let die. Then, there is the influx ultra-competative players entering a casual format and infinite-comboing with T3 kills. Then, you have the establishments which sell singles raising the prices of certain cards that are bad everywhere else but great in commander, so a 10c common would be inflated and sell for 12$. Then there is the ban committee, which have a special interest in protecting their investments, and so sell off, or quickly buy up, cards they themselves know, and determine, if those cards will be banned or unbanned.
Saw some people laughing at the 500LP cost. Maybe something like "cumulatively tribute 1 card (M/S/T) from your hand or field" would translate better? And the first summon's free? Then again, the creators probably know better
with three players able to attack you, and the inherent weakness of cards that gain you LP (it's not a tangible advantage), you actually end up really caring about your LP and the cumulative cost is very real at least in my experience
Yugioh is still a very consistent game even with the deck building restrictions. It's going to depend on how you build your deck, but you can still get your important plays out with some non-archetypal backrow to protect you pretty consistently.
1:19 As an MTG player, hearing you say "Similar to Magic" and not "Similar to Commander in Magic" makes me feel really bad lol. Commander has conssumed MTG and now peopple are equating Commander to MTG.
From the first 30 seconds he says exactly that, but repeating it every 3 and a half seconds would be annoying, so after the first few times abbreviating is fine
@@windunursetyadi That depends on what are you focusing on. Will you go Blue Eyes for nostalgia? Branded for fusion focus dragon? Chaos dragon for broad access to Light and Dark domain monsters? Rocket for link focus dragon? Galaxy-Eyes for XYZ focus dragon? Odd-eyes for Pendulum focus dragon? What kind of dragon deck do you want to play?
pretty sure black metal dragon would be absurd. obviously you'd rather play it as d-link (elpy and pisty are legal) but even just a basic red-eyes control strategy would work with metalmorph and seals.
Your can make vs video with othet duelist and your are prohibited own deck and must follow whatever AI have generate for your. This is very fun and challenging video.

I’d go with Bravo Fighter Fur Hire as deck master. Fire/Reptile with access to the entire Fur Hire engine seems like it would have good options.
That would be a cool deck!
Azamina Elzette of the White Forest as deck master here we go!
Oh yeah, its all coming together
Let's goooooo! Welcome to the party Joshua 😁
I think Spellcaster/Prophecy/Spellbook would be a fun Domain Deck.

This ruleset looks fun to play infernoble in. You play all the names at 1 anyway half the time and you get isolde and baronne and access to all fire and warriors so snake eye package, stuff like s:p and promethean in extra.
The thought of infernoble decks stress me out xD
Charles the Great as the commander would be awesome
The flame swordsman stuff with gearfried is great too!
and you get the bonus of many people just letting you combo because they know maybe 3 or 4 infernoble cards total...
I think I'd go for phoenix gearfried or renaud as commander for free extender or free nib insulation whenever.

what you want is a guy with a good type and attribute. so you can tie all the archetypes you want into the deck
josh not playing runic challenge impossible
Can we make this game type popular. I want to open Soma every game
Its just mtg commander edh😊
Be the change you want to see 😉
As always people need to be realistic, that ygo by nature is not a game that target these type of market, it's focus on their domestic audience and market.
To make it happen you have to make the Japan side of the playerbase to rally Konami making this format supported, if you can't then sorry no amount of complaints would work and if people quiting and profit in red, Konami would straight up discontinued the game in the west.
@@r3zaful That is not really true tho... The Time Wizard format is not popular in OCG, but it is quite popular in TCG. I know the Time Wizard Format is not fully supported by Konami, but they still hold the Time Wizard format often for OTS and many TCG events. Maybe the Domain Format can grow like the Time Wizard format right now.
@@GearOFFBlackI barely saw any people who play time wizard had more than 1k views in all platforms, that is as niche as it can get.
I don't live in tcg countries but That impression and people review about that format doesn't seems popular enough to warrant an actual support from the main company to acknowledge it and make products specifically for that format, not to mention it can't sell new cards because of locked card pool.
Card of Safe Return misses timing with the Paleos, unfortunately. So I'm not sure if it is so good here.
Could you make protos your deck master?
Yes, and you can special summon them from the deck master zone since they have a inherent summon effect.
I miss Adam
"I want it to be a josh deck"~ sorry fountain can't be a deckmaster.
It is 🌟 twins to include the links
He could played memesis elephant too right?
Be cool if they adopt the format officially like Magic did...tho its konami so doubt
Shhhh..Don't jinx it😂
Commander ruined MtG, but Yugioh is already in such a poor state I doubt it could get worse.
@@tzera_rhuon i never heard anything about this, could you elaborate? i thought people really liked commander
@@uuh4yj43 people like commander the format, but wizards has been on a race to make product designed for other formats sell to commander players too, so much so that powercreep has been skyrocketing exponentially in magic in general, since Commander is an eternal format. Modern Horizons II pushed the envelope on that, and we got Nadu which was a horrendous play experience for modern and legacy, then after the ban, wizards said in a blog that the card was designed for commander and that they also didn't playtest the version that went into print...
@uuh4yj43 The actual play mechanics of the format itself is generally fine, however WotC started printing overpowered cards in every product specifically geared towards commander players, which negatively affected the health of all other formats, most of which WotC just let die. Then, there is the influx ultra-competative players entering a casual format and infinite-comboing with T3 kills. Then, you have the establishments which sell singles raising the prices of certain cards that are bad everywhere else but great in commander, so a 10c common would be inflated and sell for 12$. Then there is the ban committee, which have a special interest in protecting their investments, and so sell off, or quickly buy up, cards they themselves know, and determine, if those cards will be banned or unbanned.
Saw some people laughing at the 500LP cost. Maybe something like "cumulatively tribute 1 card (M/S/T) from your hand or field" would translate better? And the first summon's free?
Then again, the creators probably know better
with three players able to attack you, and the inherent weakness of cards that gain you LP (it's not a tangible advantage), you actually end up really caring about your LP and the cumulative cost is very real
at least in my experience
They should make it so that each player can only be attacked once per round by whatever
@@NeostormXLMAX I wouldn't like to be restricted by what my opponents do in the way you suggest
Plus the amount of times people get locked out of their Deck Master is pretty high
Uh, Future Card Buddy Fight anyone?
Well, if you play Hero.... 😂
60 1 ofs sounds too random and inconsistent to be fun IMO.
Run a Stratos type deckmaster to start your plays 😎
Yugioh is still a very consistent game even with the deck building restrictions. It's going to depend on how you build your deck, but you can still get your important plays out with some non-archetypal backrow to protect you pretty consistently.
@@bluetf2622 I'm not a fan of games that go 4+ turns. Doesnt sound like the format for me.
@@Godzillagamr999 That's okay, everyone has their own preferances. Personally i love grindy games but i can understand how that could get tiring.
its a multi turn deck. consistency is not from your opening hand its based on what you draw too.
1:19 As an MTG player, hearing you say "Similar to Magic" and not "Similar to Commander in Magic" makes me feel really bad lol. Commander has conssumed MTG and now peopple are equating Commander to MTG.
From the first 30 seconds he says exactly that, but repeating it every 3 and a half seconds would be annoying, so after the first few times abbreviating is fine
It's a shame you can't play Salamangreat here
We can assure you, you can.

This is using the old rules, i dont think Horus LVL8 gives you any archetypes at all actually, or just horus.
Horus and LV are archetypes.
not gonna read the deck, but glad you already have an idea of what to play
@@domainformat Didnt actually know LV counts as one, neat.
If only some of the people pushing the format weren't so hard to deal with the format might be pretty interesting.
who do you mean?
@AbsurdAsparagus there's some people that host content and push it here but they're pretty insulting and aggravating to deal with
@@Tortorrtawho are you talking about specifically? Played a few rounds on the Domain discord and most of the people are alright
who in specific are you talking about? all the people I talked to seemed nice
Sorry everyone I meant a couple UA-camrs, let me look up the names
How strong would a dragon deck master unironically? Asking for a friend
Depends a lot on what dragon we're talking about
@bluetf2622 just generic dragons not unlike dragon link
@@windunursetyadi That depends on what are you focusing on. Will you go Blue Eyes for nostalgia? Branded for fusion focus dragon? Chaos dragon for broad access to Light and Dark domain monsters? Rocket for link focus dragon? Galaxy-Eyes for XYZ focus dragon? Odd-eyes for Pendulum focus dragon? What kind of dragon deck do you want to play?
pretty sure black metal dragon would be absurd. obviously you'd rather play it as d-link (elpy and pisty are legal) but even just a basic red-eyes control strategy would work with metalmorph and seals.
they can be really good if you build it well
Domain a hand trap
doesnt count as in hand so its useless. now if it interacts when summoned like the monarchs then it works.
You can't activate any effects in the deckmaster zone.
@yugiohcommander if I made driver my deckmaster, could gamma summon it?
@@Salati00 gamma doesn't summon from the deckmaster zone.
@@alicepbg2042 that's because the deckmaster zone doesn't exist, but as josh said in this video, his deckmaster would still summon itself
Your can make vs video with othet duelist and your are prohibited own deck and must follow whatever AI have generate for your. This is very fun and challenging video.
