I like that you kept encouraging him to relate the cards to those in Pokemon, it really shows that you have a good understanding of what makes these videos so fun, which is getting to see the different perspectives and learn how other cars games are played.
Now we need a video where Cimo, Rarran, CGB and Azul take turns to present 3 cards each from their respective games and all the others have to guess gow good they are. It would be fun to have a 4 way call.
Worth noting that MtG and Pokemon players count turns differently. In most card games other than Yugioh, it turn 2 is after both you and your opponent have had their first turn. That is to say, turns are in terms of both players. So when he says "My understanding is Yugioh games end by turn 3" he probably meant turn 5/6 in Yugioh terms.
@@itsomegali5342 I think it is more that he had played goat before, not that he plays regularly. If he was a regular player, he would have recognized creature swap I think
2:09 To clarify, Supporter cards are once-per-turn for ALL Supporter cards. For example, if you play 1 Professor Juniper, you can’t also play 1 Iono in the same turn.
I had a deck once where i could use 3 supporter per turn. 1 extra from an Ability and 1 more from an Attack. But thats the exception and not the norm , it also felt super imbalanced that time.
Prohibition was played against me one time when I played back in like 2002. Guy side boarded it in against my burn deck after losing to me a few weeks in a row, declaring just desserts. Unfortunately for him, I already had 2 of them set on the field. Which feels like exactly the example of, “this card just never worked out.”
Yeah, I've had it used against me with my opponent declaring Runick Fountain. But I would just have Runick Destruction or Runick Tip (to search Destruction) in hand, so I'd just pop Prohibition and be on my merry way. I imagine people probably tried this against Sky Striker, but they have archetypal, searchable S/T removal too. Yup, even in decks that live or die based on a single card, it doesn't work. (Or rather, I should say it doesn't do enough _on its own_, and there are too many answers to it in the game.) I think if it wasn't a continuous spell it would be way better, but on the other hand, lingering floodgates are bad for the game, so I'm glad it's not. But at the same time, sometimes I really wish I could just rip every copy of a certain card out of my opponent's deck, so I get why people want to try playing it...
To be completely fair, even if you didn't have the Just Desserts in play, it's a bad card to call, despite being the best burn card at the time. It just wasn't a good match up, a best case scenario Prohibition kills a lot of decks by itself but early burn wasn't one of them.
Prohibition is an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE to Mystic Mine Burn Deck. You got Goddess Skuld's Oracle+Prohibition literally banned any of the outs for Mystic Mine.
I feel like not showing newer monsters (other then when you showed handtraps) makes it harder for the guests to actually figure out the power level of monsters. A lot of stuff is archetypal now, but showing someone something like Sauge De Fleur, Fenrir, Apollousa, etc could help with this. Or maybe start having people rate archetypes by giving them a few cards.
Hell no. If you show them any new card, chances are they wouldn’t understand the significance of 90% of their kit. It’s better to start old and slowly move to new than start new and go to old
I really appreciate the respect content creators clearly have for each others' games; at least enough to be willing to gain a basic understanding for these sorts of videos. Back in my college days, the Yu-Gi-Oh players hated the MtG players and vice versa.
One thing that could be important: Last Turn is supposed to be used when you're about to lose. So the Pokemon version would need to be activated when your opponent has one Prize left, not when you have one card left.
Really cool to see Azul pop up back to back on Farfa's channel and now here. Would love to see you get some other Pokemon TCG creators for this to balance out the Hearthstone/MTG folks, perhaps Celio's Network or Andrew Mahone from Tricky Gym?
Cimo keep doing this style. It's very entertaining and interesting to hear the other side's perspective of how the card would work in their game or just general knowledge of their game.
1:08:34 uh oh, I think there was a confusion here. The leas prize cards you have the closer you are to winning, not losing. The better comparison would be if your OPONENT has only 1 prize card left.
Awesome to see Azul on here. Been watching him for 4 years now and I truly believe that if he were to undertake learning another TCG, he could easily be one of its top players within about two years. As anyone watching could probably tell, Azul has a deep, fundamental understanding of TCGs in general and it did not take him too long to start understanding which cards were good and bad. Great episode Alex, thank you for this one 🙂
I love RNG and lols, so I always put Prohibition in my side deck. One time at a regionals, I called Kaiju Slumber and my opponent had two of them in hand and called a judge lmao they are dead cards if called by Prohibition. Funny stuff.
I am really happy with the format of these videos. Cimo gets to talk about Yugioh and do something different than sealed series (as he wished in the start of this year) and the views are good too, which means people really like this type of content. It's a perfect win-win! Credit to where is due though, Rarran seems to have united all the card games communities, and in the end everyone wins!
I would love to see you have a video where your Guests react to our different Summoning Types, or one where they react to Archetypes. Maybe even as a Group
Cimo is totally correct that Fiber Jar probably wouldn't see play. But all it takes is one dude siding it in a feature match to win in time to ruin it for everyone.
Cimo ya did it you got a pokemon tcg guy in here. Now we need him to complete the tour with Rarran and CGB and then yall gotta take your turn in his hotseat for fun!!
In Pokemon, the equivalent to you having low life points is your opponent having fewer prize cards. So Last Turn would be card you can only activate if your opponent has 1 prize card, since that's the point where you would be about to lose.
AzulGG was an awesome guests. Since I used to play the Pokemon TCG I could better understand his reasoning compared to the other guests. This series in general has been awesome for bringing in outside perspectives Cimo.
@@thonk7611 yes, but if we consider no attacks at all, no matter how many times the player switches, they cannot use an attack, because Paralysis prevents a Pokémon from attacking in the TCG, unless that’s changed in the 20+ years since I last played. Swords would prevent the opponent from attacking for three turns, which means they take a lot a damage no matter which Pokémon they switch into to take the hit. So it’s kinda broken to prevent damage for three whole turns.
i agree that swords would be broken in pokemon. i'm just saying the comparison to paralysis isn't quite right, because you can't paralyze benched pokemon at all.
@@thonk7611 I know, but you can’t attack from the bench either. I’m saying if the benched Pokémon swapped in, it’s basically paralyzed immediately and can’t attack.
Kudos to you Cimo for showing the cards from the other TCG when the guesser mentioned it. Even the assembler of the Cardvengers is too lazy to include those. :D
Fiber jar does not effect banish zone so it would have a few decks going plus from it and some permanently losing starters No way it comes off the ban list
Huh, that's actually really neat! We had a card in XY for Pokemon called "Lysandre's Trump Card", which was a supporter that shuffled each player's discard pile into their deck, before discarding itself. That was strong enough that it was banned, because it completely removes a way of losing/winning the game if you have more than one (no more cards to draw in deck). This card would not exist in ptcg for sure, though I could see lysandre come back as an ace spec (card type that's super powerful, but only one ace spec per deck), maybe with the caveat that it discards to the lost zone (basically a permanent discard pile) to prevent cycling it.
I would definitely like to see a video where you get a bunch of the past guest and have them learn a deck and play a small tournament and could even bring in other yugitubers to help and coach
If you can bring in some people from smaller games (Lorcana, SWU, Universus, some of the Bandai games) it would be great to see an 8-man cross TCG tournament. It would be fun to see who would come out on top in each others' games.
This is like one of those glorious crossovers in TV/Film where a character from one show you love pops up in another show and you lose your mind! 2 of my favourite UA-camrs combining!!!! Geek out!
Never seen this guy, immediately likeable. Immediately relaxed, humble without being self-depreciating, chill. Just, yeah, immediately pleasant to listen to.
i remember one duel in highschool that dragged out for so long i actually won by playing swords of revealing light and my friend decked out during those three turns, that was fun!
Last turn for a pokemon context would make more sense if it followed along the lines of "If your opponent has 1 prize card left" for a requirement because then it would do more with (you are close to losing the game) rather than you having 1 prize card left.
Yeah 'lifepoints' in pokemon would be your lifepoints are high if your opponent has a lot of prizecards left, they're low if they have almost no prizes left. Since no one would play the last turn equivalent like Azul said if you had one prize card left yourself you'd rather just try to KO an opposing pokemon to take the last prize card to win and last turn doesn't really do that.
Poor Hino-Kagu never stood a chance, they didn't even have to go into the fact that it returns back to your hand after all that work to show how unplayable it would be today
Fiber jar has a pretty novel application. If you can use soul release or the like to strip your opponent's graveyard of key cards then use Fiber Jar to reset the board except your opponent will be down several cards.
Yessss creature swap mention!! My all-time favorite card Here's my creature swap story. I was at locals and it was mid-week no tournaments but there was alot of people in the shop, so the owner pulled out a big box of cards told us to make decks and he would run a tournament for us. I was in finals about to lose with only enemy controller in hand ,my opponent had #11 big eye BLS and darkflare dragon on the field. I top deck creature swap, my tree born comes out of grave Econ take big eye tree born comes back because it's still standby, it goes to attack I creature swap take his darkflare then big eye the BLS. It was one of my favorite plays just because the setting and I was 100% about to lose
I wish Universal Fighting System still existed. That card game you drew your hand size every turn. Playing out as much of your hand and cycling the deck was a strategy.
I love these videos. I love them too much. I'm addicted. Please help me. Release more of these videos. I need more. I need so much more. Why don't people make more? I stop whatever I'm doing to watch these when they release.
Cimo, I used to play Traditional Format, but, yeah, even when I played Traditional Format in 2009-2011, I've only met like 12 people who also enjoyed Traditional... IMHO it's actually better than Advanced, because there's a lot of good old decks, that can match the modern decks tempo, but since they're not playable in Advanced, for example PsychicFTK, due to Mind Master being banned. And yeah, but it's just a very tiny part of the playerbase that plays it. And there's the 3rd format, The Unrestricted Format, which was me and my friends favourite format, because we had a lot of banned cards, like binders full of just banned cards. And that was only fun to play when they hadn't errata'd all the fun cards.
I haven't played yoghioh at a high level, but it seems like fiber jar would put your opponent at an advantage if it was triggered as a flip effect on your opponents turn. It would remove all of your cards and give your opponent a full hand to finish their turn with.
I wonder if a card called "Ungraceful Charity" with an effect of, "Discard two cards for cost if you do draw 3. (You can word it differently if need be so that the cards sent don't trigger discard effects as necessary) Hard Once Per Turn" it'd still be net neutral and dig three cards deep, but it restricts handshaping a significant amount relative to the original and you can use it to draw out of a dead hand with less than 2 cards in it.
pokemon has a "mana" MTG inspired resource system along with a very hard limit win-condition at 6 prize cards. So it makes sense that it feels very weird from a Yu-Gi-Oh perspective. You can't really cheat your way to an instant win on Turn 1 like with Yu-Gi-Oh. there are alternate win conditions like deck out, or exodia-esque meme decks, but nothing close to FTKs. The ones that did exist got TPCi to change rules and ban cards over the years. In pokemon, FTKs are called donks and theres few formats where those were possible. The most egregious instance was during BW standard where Sabledonk would've been the best strategy, but fortunately there was an emergency rotation that avoided it.
You should definitely do one with Snnuy from Legends of Runeterra. Ask Rarran for his contact info. It will be a blast and you might add more variety to these type of videos. Keep up the good work.
Please get Magic player Brian Coval - Bosh n Roll for one of these. He specializes in eternal magic formats, and I think he would give some interesting perspective.
This is great! Love Azul! Would also love to see Tricky Gym, Little Dark Fury, or PTCGRadio if you ever wanted to do an episode with another Pokemon TCG player!
Cimoooooo: to correct you with megamorph, if your life points is higher you can equiped to your opponent monster for them to have half the original attack. In goat format it work the way descripte it strait up change the original attack double or half and since it is a continuous effect if the life points change it will also effect how megamorph applied its effect. The modern way now specified that it change the current attack to equal half or double the original attack depending if your life point is higher or lower then you opponent changeing the way it work. But it both case they cannot stack.
As a kid, I loved playing decks centered around using flip and trap cards and that made Fiber Jar really fun for me. No matter how much I would burn through my cards for their effects, I can just refresh my hand and deck and continue from there. I didn't even consider it to be annoying. Just a strong control card.
37:10 He's not counting those properly though, he's counting the two cards as if they were two extra cards, but one of them you'd have drawn anyway. So you only get +1 per turn. So you spend 6 card to activate it, get 2, you're at minus 4 on activation and then it takes 4 turns to go neutral, so it takes 5 turn to draw an extra card from this.
The main takeaway with Pokémon and Yugioh is that Trainer Cards have a Support card which is basically a Normal Summon but for a Subset of Spells/Traps
They started by reprinting into with different professor names, but eventually they just unified it into a generic name they could keep printing with multiple arts but was clearly the same card (for deckbuilding rules purposes).
One thing about Fiber Jar. If your opponent has key cards banished, their deck will be significantly slowed down, if not crippled, after it resolves. Also, lots of cards get banished after being used (like Psy-Framegear Gamma), or to summon other cards. Also, if you temporally banish a monster before activating Fiber Jar, it will come back, so you could basically start a new duel with a boss monster (like Last Warrior from Another Planet) already on the field. And, Painful Choice in pokemon would work in soke decks. Some attacks deal more damage based on what's on your discard pile, or can play energies from there. You basically do the entire setup, or half of it, by activating only one card (and you activate it for free).
Prohibition reminds me of Contraband in Dominion; a fairly cheap Treasure Card that gives you the same amount of Coin as a Gold, but as a downside the player to your left names any card and then you can no longer buy that card for the rest of the turn.
In Pokemon TCG, I'm just thinking Painful Choice would be a nuts tech for V-UNION decks. It's basically a way to turbo a V-UNION on to the field. Context: V-UNIONs are basically the Pokemon version of Rush Duel's Maximum summoning, the cards are split into 4 pieces and join together into one giant card but you have to get all 4 corners into the discard pile. With Painful Choice you could just select all 4 corners of the V-UNION as well as some other throwaway card (maybe something else useful in the discard pile) then discard the last V-UNION with an item like Ultra Ball. Instant turn 1 V-UNION
Scenario taht might be more common than you might not realise; Opponent searches card. you use Droll and lock bird. They attack into fiber jar. They shuffle everything to deck and do not draw. Have fun.
Man, I'm honestly a bit surprised that Azul missed so much on the Fiber Jar given that Pokémon LITERALLY had the same card in Lysandre's Trump Card and that was so good it had to be banned... in a game that doesn't do bans!
Fiber is definitely a lot more intense than Lysandre, but yeah it would basically nullify Mill decks moreso than Lysandre did. Imagine Stallax with it though...
I one time lost to spright on master duel bc they slapped down swords of revealing light when we were at a stalemate with both of us having a bricked hand, countering each others plays immediately and drawing more bricks 😭
I feel like creature swap he also should have pointed out that it’s usually used when you can force your opponent to only have one monster on the field so they can’t actually choose
Fiber jar: The ongoing effect of virus cards persists after its flipped, and banned cards do not return to the deck So when the game soft resets its possible to wipe their entire hand or play return from another dimension to summon all banned monsters
Talking about Pokemon SPs! Oh my gosh that unlocked a core memory for me!! Wow!! The good old days of Pokemon TCG when it was at it's peak of fun! I miss the old days
I'm surprised that Fiber Jar didn't make him think of Lysandre's Trump Card! One of the most infamous cards in the Pokemon TCG for being one of the ONLY cards ever banned in standard, since its effect was so toxic: Both players shuffle their discard piles into their decks The field is left alone, but it gave control/stall decks the ability to make a game go on infinitely. They banned it in STANDARD because it was just that bad

Only 23 minutes in so far but he has more than once made the distinction between opponents turn and your turn.

I love these videos. I love them too much. I'm addicted. Please help me. Release more of these videos. I need more. I need so much more. Why don't people make more? I stop whatever I'm doing to watch these when they release.
I was really waiting for you to pull up Morganite after Guarded Treasure. "Now what if you DIDN'T have to discard 5 cards??"
10:29 "That's anothed thing I don't understand. All the summoning mechanics" Me: "Ya Yugioh players barely get all that either"
Wow two Card Game Masters with Blue in their names in a row
we have one for pokemon, magic, and yughioh.
azulgg (pokemon)
CGB (magic)
and MBT (yughioh obviously)
@@azurefoxbh9280 someone quick make a conlang where rarran translates to blue
AZUL lets gooooo!!!!!! So happy to see you collaborate with the double G! Please bring him back for more please please
Cimo, I used to play Traditional Format, but, yeah, even when I played Traditional Format in 2009-2011, I've only met like 12 people who also enjoyed Traditional...
IMHO it's actually better than Advanced, because there's a lot of good old decks, that can match the modern decks tempo, but since they're not playable in Advanced, for example PsychicFTK, due to Mind Master being banned. And yeah, but it's just a very tiny part of the playerbase that plays it. And there's the 3rd format, The Unrestricted Format, which was me and my friends favourite format, because we had a lot of banned cards, like binders full of just banned cards. And that was only fun to play when they hadn't errata'd all the fun cards.
I haven't played yoghioh at a high level, but it seems like fiber jar would put your opponent at an advantage if it was triggered as a flip effect on your opponents turn. It would remove all of your cards and give your opponent a full hand to finish their turn with.
I wonder if a card called "Ungraceful Charity" with an effect of, "Discard two cards for cost if you do draw 3. (You can word it differently if need be so that the cards sent don't trigger discard effects as necessary) Hard Once Per Turn" it'd still be net neutral and dig three cards deep, but it restricts handshaping a significant amount relative to the original and you can use it to draw out of a dead hand with less than 2 cards in it.
I feel like Magic, Yugi, Heartstone, and most weird stuff kinda plays more similar than the pokemon TCG which feels foreign to me as a Yugi player.
pokemon has a "mana" MTG inspired resource system along with a very hard limit win-condition at 6 prize cards. So it makes sense that it feels very weird from a Yu-Gi-Oh perspective. You can't really cheat your way to an instant win on Turn 1 like with Yu-Gi-Oh.
there are alternate win conditions like deck out, or exodia-esque meme decks, but nothing close to FTKs. The ones that did exist got TPCi to change rules and ban cards over the years. In pokemon, FTKs are called donks and theres few formats where those were possible. The most egregious instance was during BW standard where Sabledonk would've been the best strategy, but fortunately there was an emergency rotation that avoided it.
You should definitely do one with Snnuy from Legends of Runeterra. Ask Rarran for his contact info. It will be a blast and you might add more variety to these type of videos. Keep up the good work.
Shame Runeterra isn't a PvP game anymore
Ahhh love this
Perfect to clean my house with lol
Great timing brotha
Guarded Treasure, now that's a card that I haven't seen or heard of in an extremely long time. Wasn't expecting to see it at all.
Please get Magic player Brian Coval - Bosh n Roll for one of these. He specializes in eternal magic formats, and I think he would give some interesting perspective.
Love fibre jar so funny, especially when the effect goes off
Like cards go weeeeeeeee
This is great! Love Azul! Would also love to see Tricky Gym, Little Dark Fury, or PTCGRadio if you ever wanted to do an episode with another Pokemon TCG player!
Painful choice would go crazy in Lugia
As a side note, last turn's pokemon equivalent would be that your opponent has one prize card remaining not yourself!
Cimoooooo: to correct you with megamorph, if your life points is higher you can equiped to your opponent monster for them to have half the original attack. In goat format it work the way descripte it strait up change the original attack double or half and since it is a continuous effect if the life points change it will also effect how megamorph applied its effect. The modern way now specified that it change the current attack to equal half or double the original attack depending if your life point is higher or lower then you opponent changeing the way it work. But it both case they cannot stack.
As a kid, I loved playing decks centered around using flip and trap cards and that made Fiber Jar really fun for me. No matter how much I would burn through my cards for their effects, I can just refresh my hand and deck and continue from there. I didn't even consider it to be annoying. Just a strong control card.
Plz do one with Snnuy who plays Legends of Runeterra
37:10 He's not counting those properly though, he's counting the two cards as if they were two extra cards, but one of them you'd have drawn anyway. So you only get +1 per turn.
So you spend 6 card to activate it, get 2, you're at minus 4 on activation and then it takes 4 turns to go neutral, so it takes 5 turn to draw an extra card from this.
Effect Veiler is probably most similar to Canceling Cologne, which only can be played on your turn, but it sees play currently
Fiber Jar can now be searched with Mimighoul Maker, and since the effect is symmetrical it hardly matters which player gets it.
The main takeaway with Pokémon and Yugioh is that Trainer Cards have a Support card which is basically a Normal Summon but for a Subset of Spells/Traps
TIL Professor Oak got turned into Professor's Research
They started by reprinting into with different professor names, but eventually they just unified it into a generic name they could keep printing with multiple arts but was clearly the same card (for deckbuilding rules purposes).
One thing about Fiber Jar. If your opponent has key cards banished, their deck will be significantly slowed down, if not crippled, after it resolves. Also, lots of cards get banished after being used (like Psy-Framegear Gamma), or to summon other cards. Also, if you temporally banish a monster before activating Fiber Jar, it will come back, so you could basically start a new duel with a boss monster (like Last Warrior from Another Planet) already on the field.
And, Painful Choice in pokemon would work in soke decks. Some attacks deal more damage based on what's on your discard pile, or can play energies from there. You basically do the entire setup, or half of it, by activating only one card (and you activate it for free).
Prohibition reminds me of Contraband in Dominion; a fairly cheap Treasure Card that gives you the same amount of Coin as a Gold, but as a downside the player to your left names any card and then you can no longer buy that card for the rest of the turn.
Please do a video where AzulGG has you look at Pokemon cards.
In Pokemon TCG, I'm just thinking Painful Choice would be a nuts tech for V-UNION decks. It's basically a way to turbo a V-UNION on to the field. Context: V-UNIONs are basically the Pokemon version of Rush Duel's Maximum summoning, the cards are split into 4 pieces and join together into one giant card but you have to get all 4 corners into the discard pile. With Painful Choice you could just select all 4 corners of the V-UNION as well as some other throwaway card (maybe something else useful in the discard pile) then discard the last V-UNION with an item like Ultra Ball. Instant turn 1 V-UNION
Night March, Lugia Archeops, Regis, you could do a lot with what is basically a better Battle Compressor
Scenario taht might be more common than you might not realise;
Opponent searches card. you use Droll and lock bird. They attack into fiber jar. They shuffle everything to deck and do not draw.
Have fun.
But you also shuffle everything into deck and can’t draw?
@@drdca8263 exactly. Do you want this kind of thing to happend? Nope.
@@netter11 Maybe I do want it. Maybe the duel should be fisticuffs at the parking lot instead of a civilized children's card game
Man, I'm honestly a bit surprised that Azul missed so much on the Fiber Jar given that Pokémon LITERALLY had the same card in Lysandre's Trump Card and that was so good it had to be banned... in a game that doesn't do bans!
Fiber is definitely a lot more intense than Lysandre, but yeah it would basically nullify Mill decks moreso than Lysandre did. Imagine Stallax with it though...
I'll flip a Weather Report. Double Battle Phase!
Gotta love how most of the reactions to YGO cards so far have been "what the hell is this!?" due to the sheer insanity they get up to lmao
Yo, awesome to see Azul on the channel! Now all we need is Marvel Snap phenom KMBest
You should show Rarran or someone Legendary Shi En.
Fiber Jar does not shuffle itself if attacked into
"X is an interesting card" about to reach "Damage Step" and "However.." levels of repeatability
I have droll at 2 to help counter Maxx C in Master Duel. So his comment about unhealthy formats got a laugh out of me.
You gotta show people R10 Trains.
I one time lost to spright on master duel bc they slapped down swords of revealing light when we were at a stalemate with both of us having a bricked hand, countering each others plays immediately and drawing more bricks 😭
I feel like creature swap he also should have pointed out that it’s usually used when you can force your opponent to only have one monster on the field so they can’t actually choose
Fiber jar: The ongoing effect of virus cards persists after its flipped, and banned cards do not return to the deck
So when the game soft resets its possible to wipe their entire hand or play return from another dimension to summon all banned monsters
Graceful Charity is one of the cards that has steadily gotten more powerful overtime
Effect veiler is pretty much power spray 1:1 but without having you need to have 2+ sp
about prohibition: the biggest thing i remember seeing it in was mine burn
For Last Turn, rather than say “You have 1 Prize Card”, say it like “When your opponent has 1 Prize Card remaining”.
Talking about Pokemon SPs! Oh my gosh that unlocked a core memory for me!! Wow!! The good old days of Pokemon TCG when it was at it's peak of fun! I miss the old days
We're still missing the One Piece TCG player. If we got that, we'd have the set complete.
Cimo is priming himself to make his own Card game at this point lol
lets go azulgg
one of the best to ever do it
I absolutely love this series. Keep it up, brother. ✨️🙏✨️✝️
If we try to evaluate last turn on how much they cooked scale, then the houses is on fire. And it is spreading to the neighbourhood.
I used Effect Veiler as a random tuner so many times. Droll & Lock Bird can't do that.
Funniest thing I’ve done with a ruler was summon Savage Dragon in Cyberdarks
*Veiler
One of my tcg buddies keeps trying to get into Pokemon and I'm finally taking the dive into it.
I'm surprised that Fiber Jar didn't make him think of Lysandre's Trump Card! One of the most infamous cards in the Pokemon TCG for being one of the ONLY cards ever banned in standard, since its effect was so toxic:
Both players shuffle their discard piles into their decks
The field is left alone, but it gave control/stall decks the ability to make a game go on infinitely. They banned it in STANDARD because it was just that bad
Why did the editor cut off his talking point for guarded treasure? He literally didn't finish his assessment of the card before cimoo came in talking.
