@@LordTrent.yeah no need to be like cimo’s. I think your series has a lot more going on and you don’t need the extra dead air for us to probably skip. We know what happens when some activates circular haha
Also I think it’s fair to include the games that are instant scoop. It puts this challenge into perspective. It would also be really cool to have a stat counter somewhere that has wins and loss record!
I think seeing some of the scoops/losses show us a bit of what your deck is still struggling with or bad against. Like, seeing you scoope to a similar card every few episodes only to finally feel that you can take it head on is pretty hype but I understand cutting most or all of them
I was going to comment this too but was unsure if he added it later in the video. I’m assuming since you commented, he didn’t and I’ll double down. That Suship XYZ card is sick for a masochist series. Good attack and has removal when it does damage.
Got it in my own run and it doesn't come up every game but when it does its so valuable. I make synchro more often as I have dad and chaos dragon levineer so getting darks in grave is more important
A few thoughts: You should definitely check your beast pool with 2 mega hamsters. Getting level 2 beasts on the field is at a premium right now, because you have Sandayu. Also something to consider is that Sonic Chick effectively can't be destroyed by battle if you use powerframe to boost it's attack above 1900. It might have been wiser to bait an attack on the chick instead of summoning the Zubaba.
As always, Vijam carries the games like the man, the cubic man that not many deserve, but many need. I hope this little guy doesn't leave your deck soon.
Cheeky situational and lucksack play, but Stronghold Guardian + Stone Statue of the Aztecs! xP As for the scoops and stuff, on my run, I just skip them, only stay if it's worth dueling, likewise, if your scoops weren't auto scoops and/or was good or something along those lines, keep them in. Other than that, most Masochists decks are going to auto scoop and just move on to the next duel, likewise, you probably should too! And I love these Masochists journeys! Each one of us has the MVP card that makes us win!
That xyz ship is going to be big for you man, not only for his effect but also just the fact that he has higher than 2k attack. I'd look further into your warrior stockpile and see if you have any combos to turbo him out.
At around the 1:30 hour mark as he played against that purrley deck, how did the opponent xyz summon bigger monsters with just one xyz card and no other cards? Im not so familiar with xyz summons
That Noctovision is nice. I think you might have a few Rokkets already. The whole gimmick for them is most of them summon another from deck in end phase when they're destroyed. A good chunk are low rarity, too! If you pull enough of them, you might want to consider them cuz some of them are fairly big.
bit unrelated, but man, every time a streamer goes to a card by card after opening the pack, closes and opens the close up view when there are two big white arrows at the sides for navigation
Perfect timing i was just about to load up my masochist account cuz of the season reset. And yes for the scoops i agree with the other guy, just skip to the end so we know a game was played still and maybe just say the forbidden word "labrynth"
Joan only loses atk during the damage step if it attacks therefore summoning it and leaving it in attack position against weaker monsters is better than setting it.
I think every you have said consecrated light in theory is good but it just hasn't come up. I am going to miss that with you finally taking it out of the deck
I watch hopeless games through so that's one viewer for one. I do it because I like to see what cards were dead draws, which ones made it look like he could come back, and what was missing from the deck that he needs to find like spell trap removal or more tribute fodder. I'm curious to see which is the more popular opinion though because I can see why you do that too.
Play Crusadia Krawler. 2100 DEF, and he's another Level 2 to pair with Mask Of Darkness so you can make Crumble Logos. Also, PLEASE go looking for Insect Tuners. Level 2 ones especially. You can make Battewasp Halberd if you have one. Not pulling hope on that, but Halberd's effect is REALLY good for outing problem cards. He kills Chaos Max!
Are you allowed to use like Rare and Normal tokens on cards that ONLY appear in Legacy or Master packs? It seems weird that the entire token system is locked to you.
I’d say skip to the scoop, also thanks to your series i decided to restart the masochist account i made when cimo started this series, right now i’m at a funny point where i have combos but they are irregular and weak, like i have 3 amazoness cards that synergise, 2 mekknight cards, a bunch of recruiters and nearly no summonable extra deck monsters, and its kinda a breathe of fresh air playing a deck this jank
Scooping right at the beginning seems a bit stupid. At least make them do a board and see then if you can destroy it. Just like it happened with the Cyber Dark player.
As someone who plays somewhat competent decks, sometimes in lower ranks: It's because ranking up to master is a huge time sink. I wouldn't assume malice. It's unfortunate, but if you only have 6 hours a month to rank up, those players drop right back down to Gold to battle those who couldnt reach for other reasons. Where else are they going to play, casual?
Two things came to my mind.: 1. that resonator, mixed with your trap that equals attack between monsters is great value to out troublesome monsters. 2. A potential idea that doesn’t change how you reward yourself much. Save up wins until you reach 10 wins, then buy ten packs at once, that way you get a guaranteed SR, and increased odds of more big pulls.
The only issue with the 2nd issue is it normally takes at least 15/20 games to get 10 wins woth this challenge and not changing your deck for like 20 games seems bad for content
Like i understand some people are staying in lower ranks then they should but you should keep in mind that not everyone is doing that some people may have started the season late or just made the deck and started playing it
On my alts where I am silver or gold I also see these meta sheeps, like seriously what are you doing in gold 4 or silver 2 few days before season reset with Kashtira, Purrely and Mathmech. Literal definition of a smurf and a bully.
if you start cutting you might aswell stop alltogether ;) and for the love of god keep in mind what big bang shot can do if you equip it to the opp monster ......
I think if you get to gold, and finish a tier, you can do one solo mode node most cards are archtype cards are too specific, and you cant finish the two archetype banners because they give you decks but you can do everything else in them.
I hate your reasoning for not using Kuraz so much. You always say that you don't want them to draw but you'll sit at a stale mate for like 4 turns, guess what, the card you could have outed is still on the field and they now have 4 more cards.
You throwing shade at people in low ranks with meta decks makes me feel even worse about the time I came back after a year break and was in rookie with a meta deck. After like 3 duels I built a low-power deskbot deck just for the bronze-plat climb so I actually had real duels instead of curb stomps.
I just play meta decks on new accounts because why not speed the process out of lie tiers. I don't want to need to make 2 separate decks to climb to plat before swapping to a meta deck
You are too scared of using life points, the only life ooints thst matter is the last. Stop being scared to use life points as a resource to trade. You can use your cubic seed offensively, and you can play your 1900 atk mondter in sttsck you dont need to set it
Another thing that would be dope is spinning a wheel every start of the video. The wheel should consist of good and bad things that could alter the way you climb. It shouldn't be anything on the wheel that would destroy your deck or make it super OP but more so thing that can help you or be a speed bump on the way.
They just aren't that ban worthy, all the problem cards are out of archetype and with vanquish soul around lab isn't even the best resource generation deck. Vanquish had better overall matchups
For the scoops, skip to where you decide to scoop
I agree
The answer
I will do that from now on
@@LordTrent.yeah no need to be like cimo’s. I think your series has a lot more going on and you don’t need the extra dead air for us to probably skip. We know what happens when some activates circular haha

The cyber dark player calling light into the assault synchron pull is just outrageous lmao. This is my favorite masochist series
Definitely. Was a very stupid move calling light but it worked out perfectly
The suship pops cards when it inflicts battle dmg
Yep, was thinking the same thing. Honestly a pretty solid generic rank 4 all things considered
I was going to comment this too but was unsure if he added it later in the video. I’m assuming since you commented, he didn’t and I’ll double down. That Suship XYZ card is sick for a masochist series. Good attack and has removal when it does damage.
@@yukiloho he does next episode
Got it in my own run and it doesn't come up every game but when it does its so valuable.
I make synchro more often as I have dad and chaos dragon levineer so getting darks in grave is more important
@@lunaeons45 huh, neat. You wanna duel? I haven't gotten another masochist to try that lol.

I want more copies of him
@@LordTrent.Itll be so dope if you get the other cubics and eventually can make a cubic lord. Im so invested in this series
42:34 fast dragon only works on extra deck monsters you could have just tribute summoned and attacked.
There were so many misplays on both sides that game.
the evil eye spell card prevents you from summoning except for fiend type monsters
I appreciate seeing the couple of seconds at the start where you are deciding to scoop. I can see it both ways.
The greatest irony of the forced obelisk is I already had one on my masochist run.
Well if you were running it, you can use the shiny art lol
I just cant get enough of this series
Glad to see you continuing this series Trent. Am working on a new deck myself
This series inspired me to start my own masochist challenge. So far SPYRAL Tough has been the MVP plus I opened a Tornado Dragon.
Cheeky situational and lucksack play, but Stronghold Guardian + Stone Statue of the Aztecs! xP
As for the scoops and stuff, on my run, I just skip them, only stay if it's worth dueling, likewise, if your scoops weren't auto scoops and/or was good or something along those lines, keep them in. Other than that, most Masochists decks are going to auto scoop and just move on to the next duel, likewise, you probably should too!
And I love these Masochists journeys! Each one of us has the MVP card that makes us win!
13:30 Sometimes the opponent outs their boss card for you! LMAO!
Hell yeah bro I'm rooting for you !
YAAAY perfect timing on the upload thank you !
If you manage to get a odd eyes and pendulum monster,you can use that maid change to summon the vortex dragon in the future!
That xyz ship is going to be big for you man, not only for his effect but also just the fact that he has higher than 2k attack. I'd look further into your warrior stockpile and see if you have any combos to turbo him out.
The suship is also removal with its last effect!
that 41 turn 40 minute duel was epic
I would like for you to include an updated win loss record post every duel
13:40 he thought he was clicking light to send, rip.
Love this series!!!
Started my own journey with this challenge love the idea and the strategies required
Doesnt the evil eye spell lock you into fiends
Oh thats why he cant tiamaton
Yeah, when he hovers over the cards, I pause the vid to read and that was what was locking him.
It's back!!
Would love to see como vs Trent battle of masochists when they end their series
This series will never end
11:20 the evil-eye card prevented you from special summoning
"Chinese name and rabbit " is a wild statement but deffinetly true. 😂
Nice video! Wish I had some playable spells in my masochist run. Literally all my spells are 100% useless. Feels weird.
At around the 1:30 hour mark as he played against that purrley deck, how did the opponent xyz summon bigger monsters with just one xyz card and no other cards? Im not so familiar with xyz summons
Just read the purrly cards it's kinda their entire gimmick.
If you ever are unsure just read the cards
Consecrated light seems like a win con against decks like lab, dark magician ... I'd include it personally.
So I usually play meta decks but stay in silver and gold ranks because I know I'm not good enough to be in Diamond or Platinum and never will be.
Trust me, you are good enough. The difference between a meta player in silver and a meta player in master is very small.
@@LordTrent.Yeah but I don't have the follow through to grind out the wins. So I also have to take mental breaks which sends me down to bronze.
54:00 idk if you read Joann wrong but if she attacks, she loses 300 atk
If you get attack she stays at 1900
Or Do i misread her?
the pack they force you is a secret pack ticket not a legacy ticket so no worries there, as you wont open it when you go open legacy packs
Classic example of just not reading your cards in this video lol
That Noctovision is nice. I think you might have a few Rokkets already. The whole gimmick for them is most of them summon another from deck in end phase when they're destroyed. A good chunk are low rarity, too! If you pull enough of them, you might want to consider them cuz some of them are fairly big.
I would like to see the endboards, but if you see a welcome labyrinth and decide to instasurrender I get that.
bit unrelated, but man, every time a streamer goes to a card by card after opening the pack, closes and opens the close up view when there are two big white arrows at the sides for navigation
Perfect timing i was just about to load up my masochist account cuz of the season reset. And yes for the scoops i agree with the other guy, just skip to the end so we know a game was played still and maybe just say the forbidden word "labrynth"
Battle of the elements is kinda powerful because it's tricky to resolve properly in the MD UI
Joan only loses atk during the damage step if it attacks therefore summoning it and leaving it in attack position against weaker monsters is better than setting it.
In my masochist run I pulled a Time-sealed morganite and astral kuribo which have been my MVP
I think every you have said consecrated light in theory is good but it just hasn't come up. I am going to miss that with you finally taking it out of the deck
I beg you to read the second part of the suship. That card is great in sealed environments.
That speedroid duel was so hype you played that perfectly
There were a few things he could have done differently but overall he pulled out the dub and it was definitely one of the best battles of the series.
He made a couple misplays
Btw, joan doesnt reduce her attack is she is attacked, only if she attacks
42:55 religious speedroid player here: actually, fast dragon only negates extra deck monsters 🤓
Pennant of revolution is a good anti-syncro card if you start running into a bunch of those
I skip though games that seem hopeless so having less of that would be better.
I watch hopeless games through so that's one viewer for one. I do it because I like to see what cards were dead draws, which ones made it look like he could come back, and what was missing from the deck that he needs to find like spell trap removal or more tribute fodder.

Cutting insta scoops a must plus anything else u can do to make the videos less then hr and thrity min
Play Crusadia Krawler. 2100 DEF, and he's another Level 2 to pair with Mask Of Darkness so you can make Crumble Logos.
Also, PLEASE go looking for Insect Tuners. Level 2 ones especially. You can make Battewasp Halberd if you have one. Not pulling hope on that, but Halberd's effect is REALLY good for outing problem cards. He kills Chaos Max!
Add the win loss counter!! We wanna know that loss to win ratio
Even though I just started the video, I already see an issue...these need to be 2hrs long lol
Buster rancher is funny with Barrier statue of the inferno
Finally a normal monster for the magikey xyz
I think you could bit maybe add a counter for scoops
People de-rank at the end of the season so the start next season at a low rank to get the rank up gems next season.
how do you not remember who won the coin toss or what they picked? honest question, just curious.
Are you allowed to use like Rare and Normal tokens on cards that ONLY appear in Legacy or Master packs? It seems weird that the entire token system is locked to you.
What is your outro song?
Protip. Play mikanko sleeves and always choose to go second. Free damage second turn.
I will try this
Record by the end of this episode: 19-29 (39.58%)
I say include some of the scoops for posterity's sake
Be careful, lots of Godcard deck users are out too at the moment.
I’d say skip to the scoop, also thanks to your series i decided to restart the masochist account i made when cimo started this series, right now i’m at a funny point where i have combos but they are irregular and weak, like i have 3 amazoness cards that synergise, 2 mekknight cards, a bunch of recruiters and nearly no summonable extra deck monsters, and its kinda a breathe of fresh air playing a deck this jank
Always scoop the unwinnable matches, time is precious😀
Any chance you could open the legacy pack first? The master duel pack on average is so much better
Yes include all wins & losses. Always.
Scooping right at the beginning seems a bit stupid. At least make them do a board and see then if you can destroy it. Just like it happened with the Cyber Dark player.

That card is in the tcg
On my alts where I am silver or gold I also see these meta sheeps, like seriously what are you doing in gold 4 or silver 2 few days before season reset with Kashtira, Purrely and Mathmech. Literal definition of a smurf and a bully.
I say play them out some time people get disconnected or they time out because real life things come up or they misplayed and just quit
if you start cutting you might aswell stop alltogether ;) and for the love of god keep in mind what big bang shot can do if you equip it to the opp monster ......
I know it can inflict life points to my opponent
I’d say skip the scoops. Unless something funny happens
Not for nothing, but how about buying a duel field. Masochism doesnt have to look raggedy.
skip when you decided to scoop. would also love to see how much you wins and loses like cimo did.
Bro utilize vijam more and get aggressive with it
Do I hear a Boston accent?
I think if you get to gold, and finish a tier, you can do one solo mode node most cards are archtype cards are too specific, and you cant finish the two archetype banners because they give you decks but you can do everything else in them.
Yes leave all games don’t skip any games

Yea im tired of the thousands of kashtira , purrely, i just opt out. Tired of the meta spam sht
If you get a Kashtira card as a masochist player you get sometimes wins because of this.
You are too scared of using life points, the only life ooints thst matter is the last.
Stop being scared to use life points as a resource to trade.
You can use your cubic seed offensively, and you can play your 1900 atk mondter in sttsck you dont need to set it

2007 had much better decks 😡
I would show the scoop game but at 2x speed
I think the world needs every instant scoop to Labyrinth to be recorded until something gets banned. :p Hate those decks.
They just aren't that ban worthy, all the problem cards are out of archetype and with vanquish soul around lab isn't even the best resource generation deck.
Vanquish had better overall matchups
