Just a big reminder again that entry is open to all - not just patrons and twitch subs! So make sure you sign up for free at discord.gg/farfa to take part. Also - the next episode is going to be filmed during the SUBATHON! So September 9th 2pm UK (EST+5) - feel free to join me!
I'm the one who ran the time thief combo deck. A bunch of cards in the main raidraptor combo were banned due to other archtypes so I had to improvise the combo. The combo basically required any 3 level 4s on the field which the time thieves facilitated really well.
because nekroz might have been a tier 0 deck on release , but it is horribly powercrept by now. it is VERY weak to disruptions , even just 1 can screw you so much you end up in a mediocre board
What I appreciate about this tournament series is that Farfa made the correct decision to banish stuff other than archetypal cards so that *everything* in the format got progressively weaker. Obviously some stuff was banned later than it probably should have, but I’m glad we’re not having games getting decided by Talents right now
I tried Spellbook Magistus once for a Legend Anthology event, the problem is I am TERRIBLE with Magistus plays. And might have also been missing one of the two XYZs.
You have no idea how happy I am to see Skybase see play AND be the reason for winning a game, it was the first ever Qli card I ever both saw and owned and I thought it looked super cool back then and sounded ridiculously strong since all the cards I had at that time were pre-Synchro era, I got it in one of those packs of like 30 cards you could get at stores like Meijer or Walmart that just had a bunch of unassorted cards with a guaranteed holo in them.
after i saw the bujin deck i wanted to build one myself. but then i saw how ungodly expensive that deck is on master duel. why does a deck this irrelevant has so many UR and SRs ? i guess i wont build it :(
Why the hell did that Spellbook player run D Fissure? Basically destroyed his ability to close out the game since Zoroa gets to SS other Spellcasters from grave if he's equipped
we saw - whether due to a programming oversight or an oddity with dimensional fissure - that the equipped Magistus monsters get sent to the GY if they're equip spells on the field. DiFi is a strong enough card that it makes sense to run if you're relying on spellbooks that will go to the GY for a lot of your plays.
@@ungulatemanalphayeah butttttttt,, you still need spellcaster in gy, no matter how good is dimfis is... and the things that make me confused, if the spellbook player has level monster in gy, he can just ss it with life then use knowledge to send life that equip and draw 2 its better than just send life from hand for knowledge
nah. interaction is good. yugioh has too much. being able to play on the other guy turn is too much. tear and lab for example do too much. they shouldnt be going full combo before their turn.@@devinbannish1469
Gran Duke can be summoned by tributing a level 5 UP vayliant card in extra zone colunm And returns 1 backrow monster to hand and inflict damage equals atk monster
Last time gustos got banned and now spellbooks. I guess I am going to be cheering for the person who brings watts in a couple months... I will wait for the watt sweep we deserve.
Next year we should start the series with all the generic cards that got banned in this season being banned from the begging then go from there I think that would improve the early episodes
So, theoritically, if someone creates a discord for rotating formats, would you play them on DB? I have a following idea for rotation. First we need to separate sets into 3 categories:Core, Side, Premium. Core sets are 9 card packs, Side sets are smaller packs, Premium sets are bigger packs, products like Duel Devastator and structure decks. Distinctions like this are essential in assigning power level to the cards. Now for the formats: 1)Core standard - 8 last core sets. 2)Side standard - side sets released within core standard. 3)Mix standard - Core standard and Side standard. 4)Premium - Mix standard with premium products. Obviously, we will need to estabilish our own abnlist, to prevent tier 0 format.
@@fishontheinternetz3641 It is not available for players, who don't watch MBT, my idea is transferable to LGS environment, if it takes off, meaning it can potentially ease entry point for new players. Not to diss MBT's idea, but his format is aimed towards veterans only, whilst mine can be applied to new players, since it easier for them to grasp basic idea.
@@iloveyandex4862 No what are you talking about. MBT's Rotation format is available to anyone joining the discord he specifically made for the project. And he said several times the card pool is meant to exclude yugioh's most convoluted mechanics like improper summonings from the Extra Deck (like tri brigade) and targeting versus non-targeting.
@@fishontheinternetz3641 I meant, how do you explain how it works to a new player. "Uh, there is a discord server, where they post what cards are legal". My formats are "Just look at the release date, if it's within 2 years, you probably can play it" P.S.: Once again, I'm not trying to diss MBT, I know that his format is better balanced than mine, but it doesn't mean anything to a new player, if they need to go to some discord to even know how to play it.
@@iloveyandex4862 also farfa is a Konami employee now, he literally cannot touch unofficial simulator If he want to make alternate format ( like this one ) it has to be via Master duel / duel links
I'm not going to be able to play the next one :( but with Invoker being unbanned, has anyone considered trying to play X-Sabers? The best I've come up with: - Summon Rescue Cat and use effect to summon DarkSoul and Airbellum from Deck -Overlay Airbellum/Darksoul for Invoker -Invoker effect to summon Assault Sentinel from Deck -Sentinel effect to Lonefire Psi-Reflector (locked into Synchros at this point) and search Assault Beast -Beast effect to search Assault Mode Activate, the Reflector effect to bring back Beast and increase level by 4 -Synchro a Level 9 for Gottoms Since you have two X-Sabers on board Faultroll is live, and since you have an X-Saber Synchro on board Gottoms Second Call is also live (and Saber Hole isn't a terrible Counter Trap, that is situationally searchable off of Saber Reflection; this might be a slow enough format at this point that it could work) Since Psi-Reflector can be summoned off E-Tele, if you open the E-Tele you can opt to summon a Zoodiac off of Invoker to get Drident on board; can also run Tenki to search the Assault Sentinel if there's no Rescue Cat line Not a good Deck by any stretch of the imagination, but maybe somebody could get it to work ;)
With the newer support, Amazoness got some good consistency and search boosts, as well as recursion for their spells. They actually have pretty consistent otk potential, especially with so many better archetypes and disruption options banned.
Farfa trying his best to hype up the last duel, but it was like the most boring one 😂 Also pausing constantly when they were on topdeck mode made the duel unecessarily longer

That first duel was straight up out of anime

I got to be honest the fact that nekroz hasn't been banned is insane.
because nekroz might have been a tier 0 deck on release , but it is horribly powercrept by now. it is VERY weak to disruptions , even just 1 can screw you so much you end up in a mediocre board
Cuz they cheeks
It’s because djinn is banned
From experience dueling Nekroz in the LCS and testing, Nekroz hard bricks and basically hopes they can set up a normal summon of a Vanity’s
maybe because the deck was expensive so not many people bother to make it for this event too
Kozmo getting second really does prove the meta is fixed
any meta where Kozmo is good is a good meta in my eyes
Farfa really showed my most embarrassing dream mirror replay just because it was the best darklord replay 😂
Now the world will never know that Dream mirror assault mode existed
Tell md about Dream mirror? Did you blow up your own Cross sheep because you the didn't read targetting protection on the "The First Darklord".
@@prinnyking4926 yep
I'm sorry I destroyed you like that😂 Your deck was pretty cool though, GG's
@@realWannabeMVP no worries. Going 7-0 was good enough for me
actually unironically playing Skybase with Towers legal is the funniest thing I've ever seen in YGO
I mean I always run one since you never know when you'd rather have a Steal you get to choose over a pop that you don't.
Would be really nice if the duelists didn't immediately spoil the results of the duels in chat as soon as their replay starts.
What I appreciate about this tournament series is that Farfa made the correct decision to banish stuff other than archetypal cards so that *everything* in the format got progressively weaker.
Obviously some stuff was banned later than it probably should have, but I’m glad we’re not having games getting decided by Talents right now
Game actually looking fixed, i enjoyed watching every single one of these duels lmao, so much back and forth gameplay
This is the most fun I've seen in yugioh in the last 6 years
MR5 Qli v Spellbook was the coolest duel ever, makes me wonder how many good matchups are just lost to time and the huge cardpool
I topped with World Chalice, but not in the video. Big oof but the featured replays were generally better than mine.
I tried Spellbook Magistus once for a Legend Anthology event, the problem is I am TERRIBLE with Magistus plays. And might have also been missing one of the two XYZs.
The token switcheroo deck was HILARIOUS
This era is my favorite. You still get great combos but the games don't end as quickly on average.
Is genex gonna be meta ever?
genex best dexk
No
In this series they should be at some point. It's impossible not to be at some point.
They will probably top the week after normal monster beatstick
Normal summon Celtic guardian is better than Genex
Castel and 101 really brings me the nostalgia of Rank 4 Toolbox back then
After all this bans, this has become duel links meta
Golden Homunculus aka "Gren Maju at home" is something i've never expected showing up in this one....😂😂😂
Considering the monsters on the field, does this mean Kozmos won that last game?
You have no idea how happy I am to see Skybase see play AND be the reason for winning a game, it was the first ever Qli card I ever both saw and owned and I thought it looked super cool back then and sounded ridiculously strong since all the cards I had at that time were pre-Synchro era, I got it in one of those packs of like 30 cards you could get at stores like Meijer or Walmart that just had a bunch of unassorted cards with a guaranteed holo in them.
Finally my beloved Time Thieves (with Linkmail Archfiend, which I actually knew and used) and Darklords get their time to shine
These games are fun. This is true YuGiOh.
It's almost like if you cut off most of the powercreeping staple fat the game starts to have some uniqueness
Damn, it only took 10 episodes for Skull Servant to get on the list
If this keeps on going, we'll be back to Summoned Skull Beatdown.
Summoned Skull beatdown would unironically beat some of the dcks people play on the lower levels
Summoned Skull will probably be banned as part of an archetype before it gets to that point. But there is a chance.
@@MarioLopez-xs3vc Probably not, but I guess there's a chance? Archfiend isn't really a coherent deck. So probably not.
can't believe glad beast finally made it
Only 20 more weeks until Normal Summon Breaker and for Ally of Justice to become the last archetype :)
after i saw the bujin deck i wanted to build one myself. but then i saw how ungodly expensive that deck is on master duel. why does a deck this irrelevant has so many UR and SRs ? i guess i wont build it :(
Bro this is just cards mashed together at this point and yet they still seem better than some meta decks
You literally only see 2 decks like that here
Santa Claws getting banned is legit hilarious.

We are entering LukeVonKarma sub replay territory with this duels here
Never thought I'd see the fire king loop again. Holy moly!
These games were very entertaining to watch!
The games are now actually slowing down, there's much more back and forth. The fixing is being done
Why did all of these duels look so good tho
I really love Yu Gi Oh, but recently picking up Pokemon TCG Live and god damn, it feels nice to play YOUR TURN when it's YOUR TURN.
No interaction is kinda boring tbh.
nah. interaction is good. yugioh has too much. being able to play on the other guy turn is too much. tear and lab for example do too much. they shouldnt be going full combo before their turn.@@devinbannish1469
The first duel and the bujon ones were just perfect
Bruh that switcheroo💀
for Lair bans - Diablosis, Lair, Ladys of Lament + Viruses?
Why wavering eye banned: first game
Centipede
Token best duel 18:21
Homubculus
How is Darklord didn't top last week?? Infernity?
I have never seen vaylants so I don't understand what the hell happened in that last turn. (20:50)
Gran Duke can be summoned by tributing a level 5 UP vayliant card in extra zone colunm
And returns 1 backrow monster to hand and inflict damage equals atk monster
@@moitavo That is the most normal action that happened that turn tho.
17:25 He KNEW which one was the imperial custom...
Farfa accidentally made yugioh great again! Those matches were fun to watch. Many back and forth. Hopefully konami watches this
Magnetscode Talkier ftw
I can't wait till we get to the part where people start needing to play monsters that are worse than vanillas
Chainsaw insect beatdown
That first duel was insane, chad ygo
Kinda Hate how fun all those matches were
I cant wait for every archetype to be banned and the only thing remaining are just complete incoherent piles for the last episode.
15:56 it stops a pop.
Farfa doing God's work with this format.
6:00 literally King of The Island MD event matchup 😭😭😭
this is mostly closer to yugioh how i remember it in 2013. feels good man
Imagine FARFA of all people never hearing of Painful Escape when it was a staple way to search Tour Guide in BA
Wait until you hear about a card called scarm it's going to blow your mind
It made me so happy to see the garunix loop
Surprised to still not see chronomaly
Don't worry, that happens in the next week or 2. The deck was really impressive to see in action.
Last time gustos got banned and now spellbooks. I guess I am going to be cheering for the person who brings watts in a couple months... I will wait for the watt sweep we deserve.
Next year we should start the series with all the generic cards that got banned in this season being banned from the begging then go from there I think that would improve the early episodes
Wow neitger Kaiju or graydle is on the list. I might have to get in on this.
the first game was insane
Favorite Yugioh series. Probably because it least resembles modern Yugioh
One of these days my dumb decks will top in the LCS
Like?
@@devinbannish1469 idk, I have like 20 different dumb deck ideas for the LCS
At long last, Vaylantz at full power!
I get it not the real banned, custom banned list, in a custom tournament, that change during the tournament if the deck reach the finial.
What
That first dule was insane
God Vaylantz are so based and cool.
Just recently picked valiantz and the deck can do soo much more than what was shown X3
That Magistus Deck was cool af
Finally, sacred beasts makes an appearance (at the end chart)
21:12 I SUMMON POT OF GREEN TO DRAW 3 ADDITIONAL CARDS FROM MY DECK. *ROLL MY DICE!*
I am surprised Time Thief isn't out yet
28:05 more like gizmek uka
Next video is gonna be fucking NUTS
That spellbook magistus player really drive me crazy

Now for the formats:

2)Side standard - side sets released within core standard.
3)Mix standard - Core standard and Side standard.
4)Premium - Mix standard with premium products.
Obviously, we will need to estabilish our own abnlist, to prevent tier 0 format.
MBT beat you to the idea. Months ago.

letting that lair resolve was such a mistake, what a shame
Technically kozmo won that last game. Look at the board state
that kozmo player is a disgrace to every kozmo player that has ever lived.
Can't believe Cubics arent here yet...........
Wait, i though lair of darkness deck already topped and banned a couple of episodes ago.
I'm telling you, level 4 vanilla beatdown is the way to go.
Turns out all you do need to make yugioh great again is a 500 card banlist
i remember that Garunix, from Duel Links LOL
The first Qli game lowkey went kinda hard
I'm not going to be able to play the next one :( but with Invoker being unbanned, has anyone considered trying to play X-Sabers?
The best I've come up with:
- Summon Rescue Cat and use effect to summon DarkSoul and Airbellum from Deck
-Overlay Airbellum/Darksoul for Invoker
-Invoker effect to summon Assault Sentinel from Deck
-Sentinel effect to Lonefire Psi-Reflector (locked into Synchros at this point) and search Assault Beast
-Beast effect to search Assault Mode Activate, the Reflector effect to bring back Beast and increase level by 4
-Synchro a Level 9 for Gottoms
Since you have two X-Sabers on board Faultroll is live, and since you have an X-Saber Synchro on board Gottoms Second Call is also live (and Saber Hole isn't a terrible Counter Trap, that is situationally searchable off of Saber Reflection; this might be a slow enough format at this point that it could work)
Since Psi-Reflector can be summoned off E-Tele, if you open the E-Tele you can opt to summon a Zoodiac off of Invoker to get Drident on board; can also run Tenki to search the Assault Sentinel if there's no Rescue Cat line
Not a good Deck by any stretch of the imagination, but maybe somebody could get it to work ;)
After this week assault mode was banned
Ok. All the veylands players I ever met does a 10 mins combo and just surrenders for some reason, I have never seen their end board
if they surrender mid combo , it means they play the ftk version & they screwed up
Yo that first game was pretty Fire
This is indeed my ideal yugioh
kinda surprised despia live this long, is it because all the fusion mention albaz?
Yeah, that's a huge part. Another part also might be the low interest in playing it.
Amazoness was really banned before Nekroz
Just let that one sink in a bit
Nekroz still sucks, don't expect it to be banned anytime soon trust me lol.
With the newer support, Amazoness got some good consistency and search boosts, as well as recursion for their spells. They actually have pretty consistent otk potential, especially with so many better archetypes and disruption options banned.
Why would it be surprising? Amazoness has support printed this decade.
How in God's name is Pot of Greed not banned!?
What does this deck even do Everytime then you gotta read the very understanding text on the card 😂😂
I need someone to explain me what is thepoint of firefist like it gets so complicated and for what?
Farfa trying his best to hype up the last duel, but it was like the most boring one 😂
Also pausing constantly when they were on topdeck mode made the duel unecessarily longer
Maybe next week Bujin can top.. Bujin best Deck lets gooo
Why has no one played a Winged dragon if Ra
Who did the intro? I love his voice
We are this 👌close to vanilla beatdown
Climate change? Is that a Junior journey reference
