    Another thing for Flame Swordman segment: Blue Flame Swordman, a retrain made later even emulates the Deck Master aspect of Flame Swordman basically to a tee. As during the Battle Phase it can actually transfer 600 Atk from itself to another Warrior, and that boost is permanent. Not just when Blue Flame is on field, plus when destroyed on the field by an opponent's monster/effect it can banish itself to Reborn a FIRE Warrior from GY. So Blue Flame literally is all about supporting his fellow warriors, especially those whose hearts burn for battle like he does.

    Joey was such a fun character. He went from being a duelist that even a child could beat easily to one of the best in the series. His second duel with Kaiba was one of my personal favorite because he came a long way from his first duel with him when Kaiba demolished him. He even took his loss with much more grace even showing pity towards Kaiba that he could never enjoy Duel Monsters for the fun of it instead of being so competitive all of the time. It's a real shame Joey's arc got shafted pretty hard in the later seasons since they wanted to put more of a major focus on Yugi and Kaiba.

      That’s true when you talk about darkness metal Dragon, but when anyone thinks about “who Red eyes belongs to” you think Joey, mainly because he had infinitely more screen time, and was a character that was much more apart of the main cast, and while Atticus was a good character, when talking about about GX, he usually never comes up in conversation. Joey and his duels are just way more iconic and he is more of a fan favorite, so anything Red eyes is usually associated with Joey.

    As much as I loved Joey, his deck was such a hodge-podge of random cards, that even in the anime, he bricked more than once. He had a warrior/luck theming, and all the ace cards he pilfered didn't have any synergy with his deck at all.

      I think in the anime, rarity doesn't always mean strength. Lore wise, Red Eyes is a prize only tournament winners get. Like, everyone makes a big deal about Red Eyes. Same with Serpent Night Dragon, which is very weak for a level 7 monster.
      I think Gilford might a common card in the lore. Because Joey himself is stated to be poor and can't afford rare cards. The only rare/powerful cards he has are ones he won from other duelists. Obviously he never won Gilford from anyone we saw, so he probably bought it himself.
      But nobody ever says anything about something like Summoned Skull, which is stronger, so it might be a more common card.

      But the other writers didn't like that, they also thought the main character should be the one who defeats the bad guy in the final battle.
      But Yugi v. Joey would've been a rather insane battle instead. To see Atem bust out Slifer, then Obelisk, then to test Joey's bravery he summons Ra and Joey gets nervous from what he felt by Ra pure power.

      Normal Spell: Landstar Forces - Special Summon as many lvl 3 or lower "Landstar" from your hand as possible in face-up Attack Position.
      Something useful for Link or XYZ. Maybe Link, XYZ, Synchro Landstars.
      Equip Spell: Landstar Shot - Equip to a "Landstar" monster, it gains 600 ATK. If it battles a monster, the opponent's monster loses 400 ATK. If it destroys a monster while equipped with Landstar Shot, it gains 500 ATK.

    I think part of Joey's whole deal is that he became stronger by learning how to use cards that normal duelists wouldn't typically use to their fullest. He could easily slot in Mirror Force instead of Kunai yea, but that's not who he is. He's the underdog, the Dark Horse, the one who you underestimate when he summons small monsters like Baby Dragon and Time Wizard, then crap your pants when he fuses them into Thousand Dragon.
    He's almost like a precursor to what Yusei taught when he was battling the guard guy while in jail, even a hodge-podge deck can have value.

    9:32 - Joey wasn’t aiming to win. At least in the English Dub, his aim was to stall Mai out until he could figure out a means to force a draw. Joey had the foresight to recognize that anyone winning would cost the loser’s soul (doubly so since the season started with Yugi beating an Doma flunky, showing that they’re vulnerable to their own Seal of Oricalcos like everyone else), so he was banking on a draw to save them both. Unfortunately, Joey’s overwhelming comeback and Mai’s subsequent emotional breakdown convinced everyone he was going for the win, which prompted Valon to risk his own soul to cut the duel short.

    Flame Swordsman. Lets imagine, go back in time and play the hindsight card.
    Flame swordsman is now a Level 4 Warrior Fire Type. Non-Fusion. Each time he destroy a monster by battle inflict 500 burn damage to the opponent's LP. If he battles a insect or plant type during damage calculation he gains 500 attack, inflict double battle damage and 500 burn damage.
    I'm pretty sure if Flame swordsman had the effect like this he will instantly be a meta staple card in the early days.

      Maybe that, but for Dinosaur type monsters rather than Insect or Plant types. Flame Swordsman's first appearance in the anime is it cooking (almost literally) Rex's dinosaurs, since it randomly had the advantage over them using the field mechanics of the season. And to push that even further, its card's flavor text (in the games that gave non-Effect Fusions flavor text) specifically mentions it beating out dinosaurs.
      Regardless, you'll still have an 1800 ATK beatstick that can inflict burn damage, putting him over pretty much all other 4 stars until Mechanicalchaser is released. And once DNA surgery is released, you'd then have access to a free, double battle damage inflicting 2300 ATK beater.

      In duelist kingdom, people played with 2000 LP.
      If everyone just ran burn decks and defense monsters, most matches would be 1 turns.

    During the Synchro era, i. e. before its erratum, Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon single-handedly enabled Synchro toolbox decks that just played a bunch of more or less useful Dragon monsters (including some Tuners) and Future Fusion combined with FGD.
    This paired especially well with the fact that most of the good Synchro monsters back then happened to be Dragons, too, and that hard once-per-turn clauses weren't really a thing yet, so REDMD allowed you to loop powerful removal effects such as Dark-End Dragon or Scrap Dragon.

    Kosmochlor. Her effect to reduce opponent’s monsters’ atk by 1000 during the damage step does not start a chain and can be stacked with multiple copies of her on the field.
    I made a Tear player rage quit last night with this deck.
    When Ice Jade comes to duel links allowing you to play a deck that’s only Aegerine, Cradle, Cenote enion cradle, Kosmochlor, Tremora, Erosion and Curse. The consistency will push the deck to tier 0 status.
    Swordsoul, Branded, and Tearlament cannot handle this deck when you draw a good hand or resolve That grass looks greener, putting 3 monster reborns per turn in your graveyard which can activate whenever a water monster on your field is destroyed. Which if they attempt to play around with nondestructive removal will trigger icejade manifestation in the grave granting you a free banish.
