Honestly i was disappointed that the deck doesnt even use it that much, but considering the deck is REALLY bad, im looking forward to how it will do in the ladder.
@@DeepCDiva I’m not saying it’s good but its gimmick is different. it’s like a worse Rikka tributing your opponents attack pos to summon your rituals and only reason I beat it in the ritual even is vendread have infinite recursion when they leave the field lol
We criticize Konami a lot, but releasing Ninjas as a structure deck, right when people are playing Kashtira is a big win from them. They can play in the opponent's turn and punish people shotgunning Maxx C in the draw phase. People probably underestimate them because is a structure deck, but this and the Salamangreat one are very competent.
Jeez. That duel vs Dragon Link was the epitome of: - “I activate this card!” => “Then I activate this card!” ==> “Well, I activate this card!” ===> “So I’ll activate this card!” Just a constant back-and-forth.
I think I personally like the coins more then the gems up there. It's more interesting that way imo. Also I just want to mention that I feel that both the editing and the Joe as an entertainer have both grown a lot over this series. As for the deck itself, it seems like a pretty cool non-linear control deck. The fact it doesn't just uses generic floodgates to exert control really makes it more amusing to watch aswel. Looking forward to see what Scareclaw can do, if it has some variety or if it's doomed to do the same thing over and over again.
On rewatch I'm really impressed by how much you evolve the deck and improve your plays. Your gameplay at the beginning of the video is far and away different from the end. Your goals for what is mostly the same deck change significantly and I just think that's neat.
45:41 this was hilarious, love just how good the new editor is with these bits. You'd think that it wouldn't show the animation if it didn't banish, but I guess not lol
This is easily your best work Joe. I love the chapter titles as well. I still haven't played YuGiOh, but I've been watching long enough that it makes sense now 😅
I really liked the fade to access code talker over firewall dragon, and then for it to stay as access code on the smaller version of the card was a nice cherry on top.
this was such a fun ladder climb to catch live. it awesome seeing you progressively get more creative with the ninja interruptions and combos against all the crazy meta decks. havent seen you enjoy a deck so much since ghotis
Ok this episode makes me kind of want to build a Ninja deck now. Also it was a missed opportunity to not have the fake leg show up instead of the log in the intro. Still another good episode.
Thank you, Mr. Hardle G. Gaming, for another excellent video! This is the third archetype you've effectively convinced me to try out just by playing (the other two are Crystron and Ghoti; I guess I like playing on opponents' turns)!
I feel that making most of your plays on your opponent's turn isn't as egregious as building an omni-negate board. It's a bit like going second, what you do depends a lot on your opponent's actual plays instead of just what handtraps they happened to open. The plays of you and your opponent are more intertwined and don't happen as much in a vacuum.
I'm glad I'm not the only one whose a little disappointed that a 3hr video barely scratched the surface of what Ninjas can do. It's without a doubt, one of the most synergistic decks I've ever seen, right up there with the likes of Generaider. Got a ton of success with a Vanquish Soul build for maximum tag out shenanigans.
He could have OTKd in duel 10 without cross sheep. He totally had the hand to do it at 36:48. Normal summon hanzo to get iron digger. Use reinforcement of army to get cannon ninja. Discard tobari to SS Canon, which will then SS tobari from grave. SS mitsu using her own eff. Thats Canon, Hanzo, Tobari, and Mitsu on the field. XYZ summon blade armor using cannon and hanzo. Fusion Meizen using mitsu and tobari. Give Meizen iron digger. Use Blade armor's eff to make Meizen able to atk twice. Then finish them off with Blade. 8200 damage. Game.
It's funny, I feel like Kash existing has removed the one ounce of skill that went in to MAxx C - knowing when to time it to guarantee the most draws. Now you just shotgun it in draw phase and hope for the best, and then your opponent is on Lab anyway and just Thrusts for EEV so yknow, great gameplay. Loved the video, love ninjas! Even if I do open Jioh like 80% of my games...
Been playing Ninja since I've seen Joshua Schmidt's test list after the most recent list dropped. MD's precon deck is one of the best value decks for quick builds. Being able to get just about everything is excellent.
A friend of mine convinced me to try and play ninjas last month. The deck is really fun, but I unfortunately posses an unnatural ability to draw Jioh going first
When you talk about playing jank around 5 minutes in, I remember the days of jank like Bored To Deck. One of the things that makes me sad about the move to master duel is that there's now an actual, financial cost to play jank, since all URs in Master Duel basically cost the same. It's really frustrating because you could be paying 100+ dollars to farm all the jank you need, when the physical deck minus staples would be like 25 bucks. I'm liking the newer stuff though. Given the circumstances, you adapted, and keep making great stuff. PS: I'm feeling *HYPE* for that upcoming Scareclaw video, since I can't catch streams often.
This one a really fun ladder climb! Ninjas were fun, so much so that I gave them a try on ladder and they were great! Format sucked but I had fun! And strangely enough contrary to Hardleg here I bested more Labrynths than Kashtiras for some strange reason :p Anyway great job, and BanMaxxC
I think "hold the line" is basically how easily cards in a pack can keep monsters on the feild. Weather it means various effects that keep them from being destroyed/ banished/bounced, or if a deck can *immediately* summon monsters if the ones on the feild were destroyed
Big fan of the coin flip stats, it’s super interesting! And uh, will probably be more interesting with a deck that rolls over and does less when it goes second 😅
Definitely prefer the heads and tails amount to be shown, as long as the gems spend are made clear at the end and occassionally during the episode. It's a really fun statistic that shows how going first or second can affect the strategy
I didn't expect a 3 hour journey to becoming Hokage in my YT feed today....but I don't regret it. I will also say that this deck REALLY made me want to use Ninjas, just as an excuse to use main deck book of moon.
I am re- watching this a year later and realizing... Poplar is a Baku. Petition that all future cards with and "if added special summon" are referred to as Bakus
I would love to see something next year every 3 months or so where you maybe do a revisited series with the decks you really enjoyed or saw a lot of potential in, where you play a deck youve played before but now armed with the knowledge that you gained over the year and see how you do now, I can see that being really cool with runick ghoti or ninjas or something else
A cool thing I did while playing this deck was using iron digger on my opponents tower, and then activating dancing leaves to tribute my opponents tower because it was tested as a ninja, and the summoning Jioh and breaking their whole board. It felt very 200 IQ in the moment.
I'm screaming at the fact that you drew the OTK god hand so many times and didnt do the combo. I've been wanting to do it for so long but rarely get the opportunity.
Ninjas can def do master 1, I've got a couple of master 1 lists for it up on MDM. Really hope Konami gives them support, the deck is so fun and just on the cusp of being competitive.
Just a few minutes in but I'm commenting to say that master duel masochist genuinely seems like a format tailor made for you. Back in the what a deck days I remember being continually surprised by the random ass cards you'd include to support whatever gimmick you were on. Knowing that all those cards even existed is something in and of itself, but beyond that you'd see the potential in them when most duelists would write them off as trash. I know the content you make these days is different but you'll always be the goofy jank guy to me, and I'd love to see what youd put together in a masochist challenge. The world needs more good duelists playing bad decks!
Then you could have like a gem break down, gems like normal that were both used this episode and needed, gems spent this episode total including the ones not needed and maybe the ones that effected this episode that were bought in the passed or just the series total
When you put in Hop Ear Squadron I got to wondering whether Ret-Time Reviver Emit-Ter would be any good. It doesn't get you a quick sync on the opponent's turn, but it does get you a tuner and a flip-down.
I did it a couple times during the run, but it was always against people who bricked, or in situations where I had already won. And I never got hype enough during the combo to make it worth watching despite that.
Ninjas have so many options, even if you don't include all the bad ones that have come out over the years. Like this stream mainly focused on the new stuff so it didn't go into the possibilities that Super Transfomation provides(things like a small Dragon Ninja package and Bystials, since that one searches for certain types rather than archetypal stuff). My one gripe with it is just how annoying it is to get hit by The Blos. In a format where that's "not good enough" this deck can do really well, but Maxx "C", Branded and Labrynth will ensure that's not going to be an easy format to see so you'll always have to shove in some cards to deal with the thing that can cut its consistency down.
I would have been livid had we not heard at least one Naruto sound effect before this video ended. You have done well this month, Joe of the hard legs.
What do you mean by "the last set up?" Do you want to know the final deck list? Because I post that at the end of the video. There's time codes and such.
I have not climbed with either. There's a playlist on my channel with all the Ladder Climbs if you want to see what I've done. There's only like 20 episodes, so it's not hard to scan through all of them.

please make a full deck name..coz im new 😅
Hardleg asking for the trap monster deck for december like the patrons aren't just going to give him the funny hungry burger deck
As a patron, I can almost guarantee you they are all already plotting to make it the hungry burger month
I'm pushing for Fluffals. But yeah. The Hungry Burger deck is undoubtedly going to win.
Your god damn right
Honestly i was disappointed that the deck doesnt even use it that much, but considering the deck is REALLY bad, im looking forward to how it will do in the ladder.

This comment aged like wine cause after the salad buffs they are everywhere 😅
@damonstreater4738 wish it was true for ninjas. Hoping for an op future
I kinda wish they weren't in a structure deck so I can get royal rares for some of the cards
@HonestOpinions4u you cam craft or buy ninja card packs
@@jeanpaulb.5078 not for Meizen
Jeez.

I would LOVE to see a Hardleg MD Masochist series
The "Wackiest Cards" video he did before this one is pretty much that. I saw so many cards ripped straight from Cimo's deck lol
Liking to cast my vote
Good news!
It exists now, if'n you didn't know

I really liked the fade to access code talker over firewall dragon, and then for it to stay as access code on the smaller version of the card was a nice cherry on top.
I've been using ninjas lately and they're just so much fun especially when I pull out number 2
Ninja’s wasn’t even on my Radar but boy am I sold now. I’m definitely trying this out
this was such a fun ladder climb to catch live. it awesome seeing you progressively get more creative with the ninja interruptions and combos against all the crazy meta decks. havent seen you enjoy a deck so much since ghotis
Pretty poetic that Joe picks up the ninja deck and had to face off against the legendary ninja Julio Uchiha at 35:39
Ok this episode makes me kind of want to build a Ninja deck now. Also it was a missed opportunity to not have the fake leg show up instead of the log in the intro. Still another good episode.

Same...but you need to run a 40 card deck so you actually see Hanzo.
just play notebook
t1 notebook Jioh for Notebook Of Mystery
t2 when opp plays a card NOM for Jioh and Dupli
Dupli Jioh for 4
enjoy full combo
@@SaltymanGamingOh that's what I've been doing wrong.. I'm still testing the water ..
Really cool deck, love this series cuz i would never have seen how fun these non top tier decks are ❤️
Mr leg and mr metal i really like the themed editing for each month
Thank you boss, I watched the whole vid! As a Penguin player, I loved this deck and def picking this deck up !
One of my fave decks! Been looking forward to you possibly doing this exact video, Joe!
I always have a good time watching these journeys! You never miss, Joe.
Every time I hear “check this out” I can’t help but imagine that one Mekk-Knight
I had bought the deck on paper and took a few losses before shelving it. Now I think I'll take it back out for a spin! That was a great video

Oh also, your December deck should be Bored To Deck 2023
I could tell that you really enjoyed learning this deck and I enjoyed watching it. Keep it up Hard Leg!
That play with the ninja arts to dodge called by the grave was amazing
Ive only watched 2 of his ladder climbing episodes but let me tell you, the fact that in his intro he wasn't wearing a Hawaiian shirt blew me away
I had to go all black for the stealthy ninja vibes
"if you go face down, you wont go face up again"
Sheesh Mr.hardleg the rizzler
You could call your merch *"The* *HardWear"*
THATS SO GOOD!
This one a really fun ladder climb! Ninjas were fun, so much so that I gave them a try on ladder and they were great!

Love the Intro, good job Hardleg Sensei ^^
Thanks! 😄
Big fan of the coin flip stats, it’s super interesting! And uh, will probably be more interesting with a deck that rolls over and does less when it goes second 😅
"My opponent is a jabroni" kills me every time.
Goddamn, that was a satisfying episode to watch!
Well, looks like that dude in duel 63 was playing
*puts on sunglasses*

YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Definitely prefer the heads and tails amount to be shown, as long as the gems spend are made clear at the end and occassionally during the episode. It's a really fun statistic that shows how going first or second can affect the strategy
It would be interesting to see earth machines played, especially with the spicy meklord or kashtira techs
God i hope hardleg plays nouvelles now they are in the game just for the memes of cooking people's boss monsters into hungry burger

I fined it hilarious that green ninja is literally just Lloyd from Ninjago, even the artwork looks like him
Now we need the Hardleg cover of the Ninja Rap!
lol
That intro was top tier my dude
i see giant moth monster
my internal deck builder: Ay let him cook
With Vanquish Soul cards being in Master Duel now, I hope we get to see those soon!
I plan to make a Let's Build if nothing else.

I've seen other people comment this but i'll say it too, hardleg please do a masochist series! It would be so fun to watch
I think the "hold the line" rating might be for comeback potential. How good the card/s are at recovering after the field got wiped.
Me, yelling at Hardleg to summon Joe off of Joe when he was facing Oohime and Fenrir.
When you put in Hop Ear Squadron I got to wondering whether Ret-Time Reviver Emit-Ter would be any good. It doesn't get you a quick sync on the opponent's turn, but it does get you a tuner and a flip-down.
Wouldnt mind seeing time thief trapmonster deck again. Now thats a throwback lol
Been waiting for this since the whole week let's goo!
my favorite masterduel series lets goooo!!!!!!!
These intros keep getting better
Hmm, one version of this I done used Apex. Also played ninja in the tcg during the xyz era. Reminds me of my warrior rabbit build.

Amazing opening this month 😭
im still new to this game, how can i copy this deck?
New viewer whos got back into YuGioH , loved this video , if Morphtronic hasnt been done would love that especially using clocken for wins !!
Glad you liked the video! Wouldn't expect Morphtronics anytime soon though. Patrons choose the decks and they've shown no interest in that archetype
@@HardlegGaming never any love for morphtronics 😂 should start throwing suttle suggestions. Love the content pal. Looking forward to diving in more
The issue these days with morphtronic is that it's always just some infinite combo with telefon
To be fair Terahertz isn't just a OTK machine, it's also a S/T negate.
i would LOVE another masochist series:) watched all the vods of Manser VODS streams
Hold the line= the amount of disruption it's endboard puts up.
Hard leg found his ninja way
The peasants were on top this time (because ninjas were basically peasants and farmers)
I would have been livid had we not heard at least one Naruto sound effect before this video ended. You have done well this month, Joe of the hard legs.
LES GOOOOOOO, JOE FOR HOKAGE!
what is the 1st card in the final deck, the normal glossy one?
Ive been waiting for this
Ninja play style is very grindy and I like that
Oh hell nah you just call my girl Hyunlei as Hyrule 😂😂😂
I assume Hold the kind like ability to stick on the board
I did it with magnet warriors and speedroid its not hard to get to master you just need to play 3 more times than you would like too
heads and tails is definetelly a better stat to have than gems spent
Me waiting to ser what the patrons are cooking For our christmas gift
Great video my ninja
Anyone know the cards used in the last set up? I wanna make something to bother my buddies with.
What do you mean by "the last set up?"
Do you want to know the final deck list? Because I post that at the end of the video. There's time codes and such.
Does anyone know if he has tried to climb the ladder with either timelords or monarchs ive tried with both decks had mixed results
I have not climbed with either.
There's a playlist on my channel with all the Ladder Climbs if you want to see what I've done.
There's only like 20 episodes, so it's not hard to scan through all of them.
