I miss the days when duels were fun for both sides. I miss being able to feel like every opponent was an actual person and not just "another X user". The game no longer has a soul, you'll basically see the same 4 to 5 decks over and over and over again. Call me a boomer, call me a shitter, you're probably right, but I miss the old days.
kind of agree.. decks like this one doesnt need an opponent, you can just set up, draw, do everything solo, no enemy needed to play this deck...i also miss those days when you had a game when you actually get to play cards
One of the reasons I chose to play against the computer in Link evolution than to play Master Duel even though it looks better. I'm not going to miss any of the new cards. One of the last cards I cared for is Chaos Max.
As a person who grew up watching the duelist kingdom arc and then starting playing few weeks ago. I am curious when did Yu Gi Oh become so toxic and not a back and forth strategy game like showed in the anime? Just curious, just trying to understand.
It been around since the start, but those kinds were usually rouge decks that got quickly ban back then. It just got more and more common during the Xyz era and became common place during the link era.
There were still big combo decks back in the day but they were less frequent and got hit by the list quicker. I'd say ever since Pendulums got introduced so like 2014, it just got exceedingly worse since links tho as now it's even easier to summon big monsters
Power creep. Since YGO doesn't have a set rotation, each new card has to be better than the ten thousand cards before, to make it desirable. 3 card combos became 2 card combos then 1 card combos, 5-turn kills became otks, and so on.
@@lightdragoon88 thank you and everyone else for explaining. I do love the game it just hard to enjoy with all of it. I do appreciate you taking time to help me understand
This deck is truly a Gem! When me and friends start playing Duel Links I couldn't find a deck that suited me at all. Everyone find their decks suited for them but I was still searching had nothing to do until I discovered Gem-Knight and how unbelievable easy they are to use and they are amazing, strong fusion monster, I could fusion summon 4 times in one round and I felt just amazing. Ruby is my fave its like an ace and I can do 6500 piercing damage if i have the right combo also with Brilliant Diamond and Master Diamond and Lapiz Lazuli. Oh this deck is amazing, well done and becoming my favorite deck to use.
yep, i build it yesterday and gave it a try...its unfair, it all comes down to the flip of a coin..if you go first.. 99% chance of winning, if second id say 80%
I'm from north America and Sam constantly saying Lapis and it sounding like La-piss was hilarious for the entire second and third battle🤣🤣🤣. Love all the vids🧡. Definitely a better dueler because of
I recently started playing again after being an original TCG player as a kid. I just found out about Flower Cardian and would love to see your take on it. There's also an Exodia variant of Flower Cardian that could be cool.
Decks like that just make me sad. I just feel like there’s no satisfaction in a win like that. One player just gets to watch himself lose without playing a single card
i wanna pay attention to build this deck but i cant read or see what those last three or four cards are in your extra deck because of how small the game menu is. is their a deck list you have uploaded? you didnt go over those cards so i have no idea what they are
I used to play X-Sabers IRL, this is talking years back, is there a way to make them relevant in this meta? I miss them and stream master duel and would love to use them again
no cap, apart from the new cards this is the deck I learned the game with... except the ftk is inconsistent unless the hand without black garden is goated with the sauce and the deck loses to a single handtrap
can i replace armadillo with absorb fusion? ( i cant find them for trade) and for the block dragon and Brilliant fusion (both banned ) what other card can use instead ?
I know this deck isint worth mentioning but I've been playing vendread with Doom. Not sure if vendread is something you would show case but would love to see your take
It's no wonder I'm seeing GemKnights all of sudden in MD. However, no one pulled this FTK off on me... yet. They are weak unless they get this FTK done

Thank you
@@devonharris446 no Problem
This is a god sent comment thank youuu. I hope you can list the cards on the crystal beast deck as well. Thank youuu
@@jonmoriancumerfeliciano2297 I'll try it
Has terraforming been removed, I don't have that card in my game.
We love every deck except the one who plays runick
Having just come up against my very first runick opponent, I can safely say I hope whoever designed the runick deck burns for it.
My bad
And labyrinth
Labyrinth and runicks are toxic 😂
But this deck list and combo has gamma radiation
@@davidlawore8130 labyrinth isnt toxic. Its ok traptrix is the toxic one
Honestly probably he best way to utilize gem knights besides using them in a pure rock deck that burns
This was awesome to see wasn't aware gem knights had ftk lines
Gem-Knights have always been know as an FTK deck ever since Lapis Lazuli release.
I feel like the only viable option for Gem-Knight is literally the FTK
Gem knight can only win by ftk lmao

Would be interested in seeing a Gaia Knight deck
a structure deck focusing on Gaia the Fierce Knight cards was released a few days ago, it isn't to bad.
This deck is truly a Gem!

Everyone find their decks suited for them but I was still searching had nothing to do until I discovered Gem-Knight and how unbelievable easy they are to use and they are amazing, strong fusion monster, I could fusion summon 4 times in one round and I felt just amazing.

Love your videos, your deck building is really awesome.
Hope to see you build a deck around equip spell cards.
omg i've never seen an insane deck like this, it's illegal, WOOOOW
yep, i build it yesterday and gave it a try...its unfair, it all comes down to the flip of a coin..if you go first.. 99% chance of winning, if second id say 80%

I would always love to see your take on a meta Super Quantal deck. I love the archetype and want to see how you would make it over the top.
Unfortunately the deck isn't as good as it was due to the fact that the meta is alot faster now :(
I recently started playing again after being an original TCG player as a kid. I just found out about Flower Cardian and would love to see your take on it. There's also an Exodia variant of Flower Cardian that could be cool.
who’s gonna tell him
Been running gem knights in master duel even before the update and new cards! Real hype for this one 🔥
I’m about to run them myself need that one brilliant fusion and 3 master Diamond
I myself am a huge fan of Mako Tsunami, and his Umi decks, I would love to see how you would build a deck based on him.
he actually made a few weeks ago might not be as competitive as you hoped tho
ua-cam.com/video/Yp3DxgiXPY4/v-deo.html
Check out Simp King when you have a chance, he plays a lot of Umi decks on his UA-cam.
I really like Gem knights, but i hate any deck that doesnt let other people play, im not using this deck
that's why its a fun deck to use 🤣
This ftk deck is basically 0% winrate for me, they wont let me won coin flip every single fkin game
I used to play gem knights but I deleted the deck but now that it has new support I might play it again
I love the way you say "Gem-Knight Fusion". 😂😂😂😂
Ah before terafroming got blacklisted and removed from the game, ah I wish it weren’t gone
You should build a Gaia deck using three copies of the deck and see how it does
This Gaia OTK deck looks fun to use
ua-cam.com/video/QaXyGihYsVw/v-deo.html
You can actually otk by going second with the new gaia deck. I tried it in diamond and otk so many decks like ishizu, runick, spright etc.
I don’t no why but this makes me miss the duel links aromage era..what time to be alive
Decks like that just make me sad. I just feel like there’s no satisfaction in a win like that. One player just gets to watch himself lose without playing a single card
In link evolution I played an otk version of this deck instead, a lot more fun and a lot more consistent.
But its fun for the person using it. I went ahead and tried it in diamond and most of the time its either i ftk them or they scoop 🤣🤣🤣
@@KADL6703 more like you ftk them or they nibiru you and YOU scoop
Like to see more dark paladin or armed dragon/red-eyes armed dragon decks :-)
Definitely play the new g-golem deck would like to see you ftk with it
But we can't FTK with G Golem
If there is a way Sam will find it and it would probably be funny
its impossible to ftk with g golem bro are you good?
The Gaia structure deck came out on master duel. Would to see a build on that.
Gaia is a fun deck lol I've been using them for awhile now
@@jaynguin I’m fairly interested in the deck now seeing everything it consist of.
This OTK one is pretty cool:
ua-cam.com/video/QaXyGihYsVw/v-deo.html
Theres a Gaia FTK deck done by Atem
I wonder if you could do this with heroes. Between Electrum, and Fusion Gate you could probably cycle fusions.
You mean like this? ua-cam.com/video/0ViH2gLK2rM/v-deo.html
@@lightdragoon88 Sort of but I was thinking something that gets the ftk.
This deck is insane it's the best deck I've ever played in master duel. 😮 easily gets me to diamond no problem.
Are you able to make a 2024 new deck list for Gem Knight? Two cards here are banned in the OCG.
Legit how did you know i was interested in Gem-Knights rn??? Ive been playing the deck and everything
"LADY LA PISS" my girl having some urinary track problems with the way Sam pronounces her name lol
Deck list for the extra deck?
(personally) I'm having trouble with the new Gaia structure deck, maybe can you do a video on that? Love the content tho!
The world: Lapis
Sam: La-piss
Sam literally opens every video with the undefeatable instant win deck and has no balls to rank to diamond and play competitive matches
@@sendudes8336 most decks at that point had a few Omni-Negates on the field at once, so yeah, lucky
Sam said la piss more times than I needed to hear lmao
Would be pretty good if you could actually post the Deck list, since some of us don't know all cards just from their appearance.
ooo yea sam playing gem knights :) was waiting for this one :D
The way he says lapis La piss 🤣 🤣 🤣
no one:
literally no one:
Sam: Lady LA PISS
Pis! Pis coming from my Laz!
Nobody:
Sam: "Lady LaPiss"
You should play a fossil deck Sam. Jim “crocodile” cook was my favorite gx character
Sam deadass said lapiss xD
Shout out Sam going through the deck list!! 👌🏻🙌🏻
I enjoyed playing this deck. The one in the event was super fun
What are the cards in the extra deck?
I love Gem-Knights. Was VERY happy when the new cards came out.
Love the voice over you did on this video. Definitely a lot more engaging.
This is a major upgrade from Cyber Stein FTK and Xyz Manipulator FTK, something to make Gem Knights a bigger threat than both….
Nah loading into ranked and not getting to play at all is crazy
Hey, I recognize this thumbnail artist. Shoutout Vincent.
I hate that lvl 1 effect monster has more effects than lvl 10-12
Ah yes, Gem Knights: the movie
i wanna pay attention to build this deck but i cant read or see what those last three or four cards are in your extra deck because of how small the game menu is. is their a deck list you have uploaded? you didnt go over those cards so i have no idea what they are
sorry just the tuner and the last link card
@@andrewking5055 the last link card is “Cross Sheep” but I can’t tell what the synchro monster is sorry fam
@@neuworldgames5006 thanks man!
@@andrewking5055 No problem bro! Also the synchro monster was garden rose maiden 🥀🙏🏿
I think seeing you make a U.A. or Rikka deck would be entertaining
So far, every deck has been the most of something
dude i just played against that deck, somehow managed to get the win by negating a couple cards in the right moment
Where’s an updated deck list for this ? My royal master diamond
SAM! When are you going to cover Thunder Dragon’s? I made a Runick Player RQ last night you gotta cover them, crazy strong!!!!
Could u make a predaplant master duel vid plezzzz 😏
We are like diamond in the sky
What about the extra deck? Did I miss when you went trhough it?
I used to play X-Sabers IRL, this is talking years back, is there a way to make them relevant in this meta? I miss them and stream master duel and would love to use them again
@@kozaky6584 ty! I have to search up tri-brigades!
Bro genius 🔥
Making strategies like this
Bro everytime he says la-piss
This is the deck I use, But I need to update it with these new cards. It's so toxic. hehe
Le’ Piss ☠️
no cap, apart from the new cards this is the deck I learned the game with... except the ftk is inconsistent unless the hand without black garden is goated with the sauce and the deck loses to a single handtrap
ash and imperm = no ftk
Shine right like a diamond 💎
What packs do I open for gem knight cards ?
I like how Sam pronounces Lapis... "LA PISS",peeing in french xd
jk jk
Question, is brilliant rose I'd treated as a gem-knight in the hand or field because it doesn't say
can i replace armadillo with absorb fusion? ( i cant find them for trade) and for the block dragon and Brilliant fusion (both banned ) what other card can use instead ?
What’s the extra deck cards?
Gem Knight Fuuuusion😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know this deck isint worth mentioning but I've been playing vendread with Doom. Not sure if vendread is something you would show case but would love to see your take
Could we see a Gate guardian deck with the new stuff if its in there already
Soooo... Why is Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon still banned, then? When you have crap like this running around lol
If we have 3 copies of rabbit what card do i remove ????
What’s the xyz in the background?
So cool this Sam 🙂
can we get a super quantum vid?
Eh Cant find the Block Dragon is it also banned?
It's no wonder I'm seeing GemKnights all of sudden in MD. However, no one pulled this FTK off on me... yet.
They are weak unless they get this FTK done
Gem-Knight FUUUUUSION!!!
We need new odd eyes / performapal support
My odd-eyes deck was actually so reliable for a good 5 months after the game released, and now it literally can't compete anymore. Pretty annoying.
@teamSamuraix1 can you do a magnet warrior deck? Would be cool to see if you could pull off the fusion successful
I would like to see a gem-knight structure deck
there is one except is sucks its from solo mode
I meant in tcg @@tomryan2812
To the shadow realm they go!!! Lol
Hey man will you have anymore signed playmats for sale soon? Been waiting forever bro! 😢
Gem Knights doin what they do best
Would like to see a Gaia, pure Danger, or Amazoness deck
called by the grave
It's LaPiss-ing time!
Lady lapis gonna be limited to 1 💀
Why isn’t there a comment section in master duel with your opponent during the duel?
What budget deck perform good in master duel? Thanks in advance
If you don't want to climb too high, maybe salamangreat or dark magician...
Obviously without the hand traps, but i think that you will need them
Dark magician, save some UR to convert into hand traps and you should have a decent deck
which is worse the deck he made or the way he says lapis?
Pretty good deck only problem I see is getting interrupted during set up.
I love gem knights wooo go Julia!!!!!
