    That Card Destruction in game 3 was a backbreaker. Looking at Cimo’s hand, if Joseph doesn’t top deck the CD, he is screwed on the crackback. Even if he manages to survive the onslaught from Cimo’s hand, he also would’ve had to worry about a potential 5K nightmare hitting the field in FHD.

    From Game 1, A tip on Zenmaines for Cimo: If you used your MST at the end of Joe's Main Phase 2, Zenmaines' destruction effect is mandatory after the material has been detached, so Joe would have been forced to pop one of his own backrow.

    Chaos Dragons was, pretty much, one of the last set before archetypes became dominant in the meta game. Where you'd run Monsters with synergy with eachother but didn't necessary share names with eachother, as well as running all the one-of broken spell cards. It makes a significant change in the meta, which is not often something talked about.

      @@aliesterus1.023 Its kind of a catch-22 because generic cards can only reach a certain threshold of power, before they become too dominant. The alternative is to make cards with great effects but come at the cost of only working with/locking you into certain: Types/Attributes/Extra Deck Summon/Level/Rarity/Effects/Etc.
      That being said, we like when archetypes have room for generic support and splashable techs, as apposed just playing purely archetypal cards. Most new archetypes kind of feel interchangeable, besides their unique gimmick.

    Well, that was a fun episode. We pretty much got to see all the broken combos from both decks that made them so infamous. Besides the Red-Eyes DMD and Lightpulsar loop. Especially transitioning from an OTK in the first duel to a hand full of bricks in the second duel is representative for Chaos Dragons. It's basically the Boss Monster Top Deck. One ruling note though. Reckless Greed doesn't reset. That's why it was played at 3 compies in the first place. You can go plus 3 and only drop 2 draw phases. But this episode had many great scenes that are worthy to be in the rewind 2022 video

    • @kyuubinaruto17

    This was the format I decided to become competitive. I’ll always remember the 100th YCS, btw I took fabled dark worlds to that tournament, lol bad decks at YCS, but soon after pick up chaos dragons and ran that deck into the ground. I day 2 ycs Seattle with it. My favorite memory is playing the 100th ycs winner game 5. I won game one because he drew double effect velior game one, game two I won because I double gem imps his double dragged down to the grave. Also, after the ban list I included a copy of dark Horus. It helped with OTKs because you could end on a board with pulsar, red eyes metal and Horus for 8300. It helped a lot because of its not included you ended on a board of pulsar, pulsar,metal which is 7800, so now you had the choice of end there, or go into bounzer and hope you don’t get dark holed. If chaos dragons get featured again after the ban list, and my boy Horus is included I will literally shit.
    also, in the same Seattle tournament, I got mind crushed, and the dude called “BLS” but, he was forced to discard because I didn’t have a copy of “black luster soldier” I had “black luster soldier-envoy of the beginning” in my hand. Biggest waste of a tour guide if I had ever seen one

Honestly that period between the dominance of Wind Up + Inzektor and until Dragon Rulers released was easily one of the most enjoyable times playing the game. Very diverse meta with multiple competitive strategies such as the ones you mentioned and displayed and then also random decks like Machina Gadgets, Karakuri, Fire Fist, Mermail, Hieratics, Agents, Bubble Beat, Hunder, Frog Monarch, T.G Stun, Geargia and later Evilswarm and Constellar were all very playable and competitive decks in the game.

    Dragons Collide was one of the first structure decks along with the Dark World, Dragunity and Merick structure decks I bought when I got back into YuGiOh, and I love that you reached chaos dragons since I love them. It was fun seeing Dark World vs Chaos Dragons (two of my personal favourite decks/archetypes). Great job as always guys and I’m looking forward for when you reach Dragon Ruler format.

    This was genuinely my favourite time playing the game. I had only just started playing at the height of Synchro's and got to play and face so many fantastic decks! It was all so varied that it felt like every week there was a different deck that was all the rage! Inzektors, Dark Worlds, Chaos Dragons, Agents, Fabled, Sams, Karakuri, and on and on! Plus you got to see XYZ's hit the fields and change the way people played with decks like Wind-Ups and Ninja's and stuff. IMO it really wasn't until E-Dragons and Dino Rabbits hit that things got completely unfair and everyone really started to play the same 2 or 3 decks. I really do miss this era.

    Finally getting around to watch this in April and I gotta say, this episode is hype IMO. 2011-2012 was the time. When I started playing with my friends in a semi consistent manner. We would get together and play multiple times throughout the week. Not competitively or going to locals, but just playground, Yu-Gi-Oh. And chaos dragons, whilennot one of the first decks we picked up, would come up later on for about everyone in our group at some point. I actually to this day still have my chaos dragon core in hopes that it ever would have been a good deck again after something like 2013 or 2014. Sad to say it never did, but I always have my hopes.

    Man game 3 was probably the strongest protagonist moment in the entire series. Not only did this require a series of specific draws and topdeck from MBT, but Cimo opened the almost invincible almost certain win combo hand, which is exactly the sort of thing a card game anime antagonist would do.

    Plant was the last deck i had. Appart from all of the new exciting strategies, u might forgot to mention one of the biggest factor that lies in front of u all this time.
    The rising popularity of Dueling Network was the one that allows people like me to stick around a little bit longer playing online, before i finally stopped, but not without the thought that this game might just never die.

    "Dueling Network had just come out"
    Joseph. DN had been around as far as 2008/2009, I remember discovering Dueling Network _around_ the same year as when Montage Dragon was released, and Black Rose Dragon Collector's tin was new on store shelves. Dueling Network's Wikipedia page cites it as having been made in 2006, considering it had a thriving community deep into 2008 when I first discovered it, this tracks.
    You're partway into the _Zexal_ era somewhere into 2012, 5-6 years after creation does not constitute "just come out". It's better to say that the average Yugioh player didn't have easy access to internet at the time, didn't think to bother looking at computers in their local library or school at the time, or just didn't look hard enough.
    2/3 are on you guys for not being nerdy enough I guess.

    Back in the day I played both of these decks. I started with the Dark World Deck then went to making Chaos Dragons (both made pretty easily through the structure decks they had). Pretty surprised the Dark World deck didn't main Morphing Jar or at least 1 Fabled Raven. I get the Grapha thing, but he wasn't too hard to get rid of, especially if it got banished (bottomless, DPrison).
    As for Chaos Dragons, I remember testing a bunch of things in it, like Purplythorny Dragon (a level 5 Dark Dragon and easy to summon) and Needlebug Nest (if the LS mills weren't enough).

  • @AtomicArtumas
    @AtomicArtumas 2 роки тому +1

    Cimo. This is probably the like 30th time something like this has happened.
    Play more aggressively with stuff like Reborn.
    Very real chance this could've been a 2-0 if you'd resurrected something like the REDMD BEFORE attacking and just gone for lethal, instead of saving it for after. And this has been true of revives in progression, history and jank, sealed, etc. - You always throw games by not attacking for lethal when you have it and "playing safe in case they have a card that can interrupt" and then losing to draw power and non-reactive cards over the following 3 turns.

    I loved playing chaos dragons back then one of my favorite decks. Not many people knew of the potential combos it was capable of especially using catapult turtle for otk. Game 3 cimo could have established board turn 1 by using tour guide xyz into No. 17 then banish to SS REDM to SS lightpulsar from GY, SS other lightpulsar from hand banishing wyvern and darkflare to add DAD to hand and guess what?? you have 3 darks in grave (1 darkflare and 2 materials from tourguide) :)
