Does this not highlight the problem with equalizers/hand traps? They exist solely to give Konami an excuse to have decks that are so powerful they can play through multiple disruptions. Two negates and two floodgate boards exist because Konami can say "well you have DRNM, so don't complain." They are excuses to endlessly power creep, because as long as players have them they can win *sometimes.* And that's a problem in itself; *sometimes* you win based solely on luck of the draw. Watching this tournament I can count on one hand how many times players actually attempted to play around something. Why? Because for the most part you can't. You just have to set up your board and hope they do not have the equalizer. It literally comes down to that and Rock Paper Scissors.
More like who does/does not draw their equalizers. Adam and Evelich are just the two decks that can play through an equalizer. That's all modern Yugioh is: you are either better than the hand traps or at their mercy. Now, that does not excuse cards like Block Dragon or Halquifibrax which need to be banned but, you see the kind of nonsense you need to ensure equalizers don't just completely screw you.
Funny but not really the truth. Simon won game 2 as well, despite going second as adamancipator. I know he got to side in the Nibiru, but playing around Nibiru is something you have to do going first as the eldlich player on game 2, or you risk losing to it. He should have seen it as a possiblity, and sided/played accordingly (summon limit/skilldrain/prohibition are all cards that could have won him the game if he sided them in and opened with them game 2). Going back to the die roll... while it is a powerful advantage for Adamancipator to win the AdamanciPaperScissors, Simon did win that game 2 and that isn't necessarily easy for adamancipator against combo eldlich. Bottom line is that Simon went 2-0, which is not usual for die-roll-deciding matches (usually its 2-1 or 1-2, and decided on who goes first more often, which WASN'T the case for this match).
You do realize there is an rogue deck called pk/lair and admancipator can't go off because lair of darkness the field spell card says you are all dark while on the field I would just sit there and ask anything else you like to summon😅
@@sergeantmajorflaremane8831 they can still special summon from the deck using the adamancipator monsters because lair doesn't effect the deck only field, it's the same as zombie world(where zombies change type not attribute), which we saw adamancipator play though adamancipator play though very well
@@sergeantmajorflaremane8831 that's can't stop adamancipator lol. You only change the attribute on the field not their type. What adamancipator need is rock type monster not earth type attribute. That's mean lair of darkness is useless against adamancipator because it doesn't even stop them from summoning anything.
Final decks standing aren't surprising. What is surprising is Cimo formally thanking his co-host Joseph on camera for commentating over a month worth of matches. Solid duo! Year 5 of Ulti-Cannahawk still limited on the F & L list. 🐦⚡

Redyuki The only thing I disagree with is that he said the tournament was amazing. I never said that you have to play rogue decks in tournament to be entertained hell I enjoyed the striker orcust salamangreat era thats what bring me back to yugioh. Be true to yourself this format suck they need to hit both of the decks. Is basically who win the rock paper scissor will win and the eldlich cheap advantage thats annoying as hell(adamancipator is acceptable only problem was block dragon). Even the last format with spyral was better than this
You guys have great chemistry as co-commentators! I hope you guys do another tournament. I think a tournament where eldlich and adamancipator aren't allowed would be at least 1 milliton times more interesting. This match was obviously boring and predictable, but the feature matches were amazing!i loved seeing other archetypes like madolche and generaider shine.
@@darklightmotion5534 You still have to worry about a Block Dragon, I:P , Dweller and a tackle crusader under it if you tribute away Apollousa, savage and herald. And you wasted a normal summon.
MBT and Cimooo work so well together as hosts, I don't think I'd have stayed as interested the whole way through this tournament without their commentary, great job guys! Hope to see you guys together on something again soon!
If there was a tournament with one eldlich and adamancipator deck and the rest being other decks of the other players choice I bet you that that those two decks will still make it to the final
Unfortunately not a spectacular final match to watch. I liked the previous feature matches more. Nevertheless still an amazing online event, keep it up cimo!
@@doomkingraye7692 firewall was one of the worst formats in recent memory. This format is just two decks being overpowered due to a few problematic cards like block dragon and auro, not even close to that format filled with ftks and handloops (and we didnt even have nibiru!)
Great job on the entire event Cimo! I really enjoyed watching the matches and hearing you commentate along side MBT Definitely a highlight of my day during this pandemic
@@SwagMaster824 I do play dinosaurs and it’s one of my favorite decks. Although they had to wait 20 years to get good too. I’m just saying it’d be cool to see Reptiles get some cool support.
That Adamancipator player got SUPER lucky being able to fire off and go ape when the Eldich player didnt have any outs or very many hand traps to combat the Adamancipator player. Both decks are very resilient and can put up some boards, but Adamancipator being the combo heavy deck that it is and able to still keep going despite hand traps like Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru especially its fun to play and people apparently don't remember the Rock Paper Scissors format with Inzektors/Wind-Ups or even the Infernity deck.
Thank you for this tournament Cimoo. And once again Adamancipator proving why its probably the best combo deck in last decade (maybe even all-time if you ask me). Eldlich might have a better variant with combo, but its also way more susceptible to handtraps especially Nibiru. Hope we get to play real events soon.
Id argue that pendulum with everything was better, because rock is basically good pendulum and old pendulum is pretty much adamancipators if they had 10 million draw cards and could break insane boards
@@tl4038 adamancipator is shit in the OCG *because* of maxx C tho, they cant main the 15 anti-maxx C and all their engine while kepping the excavations consistent, but go ahead, play OCG ada, have fun bricking.
Really? This was the FINAL? Bro, literally every other match was less boring than this I hate this format, give me back sky striker orcust, it was funnier to face
@@jackbordar2727 i personally play zombie horde and my matchup against orcust was pretty fun to play because my deck is slower but counter them quite well
Back in Last years meta we had SS, Pendulums, TD, Rockets Altergeist, Guru Control, Orcust, Invoked Mekknights, Salamangrat and even HEROes. One of the best formats where there was a huge ammount of viable decks to play in competitive. This years format has been utter shit. Spyral, Dino and Shadolls, into Eldich and Adamancipators variants. Fucking pathetic imo. How can konami fuck that up so bad is beyond me.
Waiting for the Adamancipator decklist. It's clear to all of us which version of Adamancipator is best. Simon's version is busted with tackle crusader, the tenyi earth tuner and unexpected dai. So much more swarming capabilities compared to the gogogo monsters.
Thank you so much for hosting this tournament. This has been a great distraction from the hell that we're in right now. How much I yearn to be able to play real Yu-Gi-Oh! again.
It's possible to win despite going 2nd - the player going 1st could get a brick hand and lose, or the opponent could have perfect handtraps and win. So you can't 100% predict the winner based off who goes first in game 1.
So the Grand Final of a 500+ person tournament came down too who won Rock, Paper, Scissors. Honestly a lot of these matches have proved one thing to me. Adamancipator should have never existed.
Lol what? There is only 3 adamancipator Players in top 16 while there is 8 Players on eldlich side. You complains about ada but even eldlich can go to VFD and Buster lock to stop your opponent to activated any effect after drawing 3 cards and ripping cards from your hand.
It does feel a bit rock-paper-scissors this format, and I think something is seriously going to get hit. Even disregarding the newness of cards like Halqifibrax and the Adamancipator/Eldlich archetypes it’s really resilient to any interaction which would be the usual counter to such combo decks. With this much power behind them, alongside consistency and resilience it feels like a pseudo ftk. I mean, Macro Cosmos, an omni negate, graveyard effects turned off, domain lock. Like how do you beat that outside of like Dark Ruler into Evenly Matched?
If there's any deck that needs to be f***** with a hot iron it's adamancipator and the worst part is I don't exactly know what to hit other than block dragon
I would say limit researcher Its the one card that lets them keep playing since it has the most generic summoning confition out of the 3 adamancipator tuners
Oh yeah let's fuck up the only deck that can matc eldlich consistenly so everyone Will play eldlich right? Have you ever seen the capability of eldlich combo. They can make Buster lock with VFD AFTER drawing 3 cards and ripping cards from your hand.
Limit block dragon, semi-limit niburu, ban any link monsters that sends an extra monster to the field when sent to GY like crystron, also ban (some limit) any link monsters that generates tokens
Wow, the Anti Spell Fragrance to counter the DRN and Lightning Storm which have been by far the most popular board breaking cards and would have 100% won him the game; but, Nibru showing us that sometimes, you just can't beat the classics. I feel like that next level was next leveled lol.
Simon had Red reboot in hand, he showed it in the last second when he won cuz he didn't even need to use it, the Eldlich player simply has no chance to win.
To be fair, Simon was hella lucky. Opening Nibiru, DRNM, AND Red Reboot, and your combo cards while going second, while his opponent only had 2 backrow (one of which wasn't even that good). Then again when he went first, he also just had the right cards to make like, all his plays.
@@kristopher4746 Not sorry? This meta is literally trash. I usually don't blame changing in this type of games, but i find myself looking back at a way better game than it actually is right now.
Since Konami can alter rules(as we seen as the the draw phase for going first players) going second player should be able to draw two cards. That makes it not a die roll format and makes the players who won give a second thought if they want to go first or second.
I think the one fatal flaw that the synchro eldlich variant has is it's extremely more vulnerable to nibiru, while with adamancipator, at least you can play through a nibiru with the extenders. Really not surprised by this result. I really do hope Konami take steps taking adamancipator down on the banlist with Block Dragon being banned and banning either Linkross or Halq. preferably both.
Linkcross isnt officially legal in the tcg yet, so it won't get banned. Halqi is still selling (help selling) duel overload, so it probably won't either
@Hehe Haha O-lion has a confirmed reprint later this year. Chances of it getting banned are slim to non. Jet Synchron probably. But then Quickdraw takes the spotlight or plaguespreader zombie.
Eldlich should go back to it's control variant, the reason it's combo variant has been on the rise was because NOBODY was playing Nibiru due to it being useless against Adamacipator, now everyone will use it against combo Eldlich, and as can be seen in this match, the deck was extremely vulnerable against it.
Eh they die to any hand trap like ash/veiler/imperm no need to start main decking Nibiru. Just use any of those hand traps on halfqafibrax and they can't continue their combo.
Hey Cimoo I have a suggestion for your next video. How good is token collector! I seen a lot of pro players using it to help them against eldlich combo and adamantia
My theory is if they decide to make any banlist changes which they might not because theirs no official play happening then it might be banning raptite and semi limiting all of the mini adamancipators to hurt the consistency and power of the deck but not destroy it. I don't see them banning neddlefiber as they just released linkross and neddle and want to sell packs and banning block would bury the deck so they probably won't do that yet either.
O-lion not getting touch, because of the Battle of Legend reprint. Everything else that came out this year isnt getting touch, until September most likely. Block Dragon/Buster Buster dude is the only one NOT safe, he's not gonna be at 3 in June. And in all honesty, just hitting Needlefinder will enough to save the rest of the cards that work with it in September.
How to win a best of 3 in 3 turns: 1. Win RPS 2. Open Nibiru & Reboot 3. Open any 2 starters in your 40 card deck Tbh.. this format is terrible. Nothing compares in power level to these 2 decks and it's super unsatisfying to watch. Seeing dark ruler no more having to be MAIN DECKED just to have A CHANCE of winning is absolutely disgusting. There's no variance in the meta and the problematic cards (needlefiber being our key starter here) are unlikely to be seen on any banlist in the near future as it was just released recently. This will reign eternal for quite a while and oh my lord will the game go stale fast. So much for MR5 shaking up the meta
Funny how complaints contradict themselves. Players complained about sky strikers and orcust and how the format was stale. People wanted new meta decks and here we are! New meta decks. Now players want these decks destroyed on the ban list and wish we could go back to the stale format from before.
There is an illegal play at 3:23, the adamancipator player use the o lion token to make a link spider, but he is under the linkross who says that he cannot use token to link summon.. and he does the same play at 10:01..
Lol why is everyone crying. Its a new Format so Konami need to have some new Decks. When Engage was released everyone was saying "Engage needs to be banned" blablabla... Now "Block Dragon needs to be banned" "This format is shit". They will Hit the decks indirect and not banning fuckong Block or limiting the fucking adaman tuners. Or Limiting Samguine or some shit like that. Konami released them 1 Month ago what are you expecting? Wtf
can you do a version of the crush card cup but do it in partnership with farfa. so we could have a no meta tournament not necessariy highlander but something similar where you can only have 1 copy of any effect card and up to 3 of vanillas? something that will ensure weird and stupid games

I can see Needlefibre, Auroradon, and Block Dragon getting banned in the next banlist.
Adamancipator vs. Majesty's Fiend Turbo now. Let's go.
It does feel a bit rock-paper-scissors this format, and I think something is seriously going to get hit. Even disregarding the newness of cards like Halqifibrax and the Adamancipator/Eldlich archetypes it’s really resilient to any interaction which would be the usual counter to such combo decks. With this much power behind them, alongside consistency and resilience it feels like a pseudo ftk. I mean, Macro Cosmos, an omni negate, graveyard effects turned off, domain lock. Like how do you beat that outside of like Dark Ruler into Evenly Matched?
Needle fiber creates all these combos that needs to get banned
and maybe if meta stays like this until megatins come out there will be another problem... dragoon of red eyes :/
@@K0Fyagami2k2 I don't think adamancipator would even play dragun. It adds 2 bricks to the deck and doesn't improve the end board that much.
@@scotchegg4268 Dinosaurs would though which is a great thing Get out of the way emancipator
I enjoyed all of these videos a lot. Thanks for doing this
Lesgo Wolverine making sure his tier one status is not relinquished at the hands of zombies, Simon deserves this.
Only one for save this format, "maxx c!!!"
If you haven’t already guessed it, it’s
Eldlich and Adamancipator
Very entertaining tournament and love to hear Cimo and Joseph cast together. Keep up the good work Cimo we appreciate it ^^
What a amazing team Simon is representing !
You guys took almost all tournaments with Adamancipators lol. Great job
T L Thank you :)!
Very much fun interactive gameplay
Nibiru won the match for the Adamancipator player
The big rock helped the other rocks win 😂
the chad italian
Finally the battle we've all been waiting to see happen animancipator vs eldlich ELECTRIFYING!
Well, if not exciting, this finale match is at least appropriate.
Can’t believe zoo won a tournament in 2020. Unreal
If there's any deck that needs to be f***** with a hot iron it's adamancipator and the worst part is I don't exactly know what to hit other than block dragon
I would say limit researcher
Its the one card that lets them keep playing since it has the most generic summoning confition out of the 3 adamancipator tuners
Oh yeah let's fuck up the only deck that can matc eldlich consistenly so everyone Will play eldlich right? Have you ever seen the capability of eldlich combo. They can make Buster lock with VFD AFTER drawing 3 cards and ripping cards from your hand.
Limit block dragon, semi-limit niburu, ban any link monsters that sends an extra monster to the field when sent to GY like crystron, also ban (some limit) any link monsters that generates tokens
@@UnlovedZetsu semi limit the one card that helps break boards. Go thinking.....not
@@kristopher4746 I mean like there's dozens of effect and spell/trap breaking cards
Having 3 nibs doesn't help at all...
Imagine if Konami had their own game that we could use for stuff like this 😂
Pokémon has an amazing amazing online simulator that’s officially made and sponsored by the Pokémon Company. Konami should take some serious notes.
LIT GOD are you talking about Pokemon Showdown?
The year is 20XX...
bet the deck that goes first is gonna win
This match pissed me off...
So Yu-Gi-Oh right now is officially an expensive version of rock, paper, scissors...
Wow, the Anti Spell Fragrance to counter the DRN and Lightning Storm which have been by far the most popular board breaking cards and would have 100% won him the game; but, Nibru showing us that sometimes, you just can't beat the classics.
I feel like that next level was next leveled lol.
The anti spell is useless, if he wanted to Simon can just activated red reboot that he drew.
Simon had Red reboot in hand, he showed it in the last second when he won cuz he didn't even need to use it, the Eldlich player simply has no chance to win.
what a nice game Yu-Gi-Oh has become... we used to play until the last card and nowadays we games end in the first round
Play until last cards? So this is before any meta decks are relavant right? There is no such thing anymore after yata lock was invented.
The entire match was less than 5 turns long! Where's the fun in that? This game has really gone to the dogs...
this is why i prefer to play stun eldlich. combo version can die too easily to a hand trap and then you’re just left there...
Facts
To be fair, Simon was hella lucky. Opening Nibiru, DRNM, AND Red Reboot, and your combo cards while going second, while his opponent only had 2 backrow (one of which wasn't even that good). Then again when he went first, he also just had the right cards to make like, all his plays.
Cant wait for these 2 decks to get gutted on the upcoming banlists
They won't get gutted lol. Indirect hits yes. Direct hits no. sorry not sorry
@@kristopher4746 Not sorry? This meta is literally trash. I usually don't blame changing in this type of games, but i find myself looking back at a way better game than it actually is right now.
@@paolovittoriodigilio7913 how is this meta trash?
looks like the Trophy is going to Adamancipator, i always rooted for this deck... :)
All i see is two guys playing good yugioh good job the two of u
Maxx c must to come back its the only counter
Sadly most ppl dont understand why max c is a important check so it not eith the tcg mindset we have
@@latroyw4650 tcg players are cry babies
Welp we knew this was going to happen.
awesome series! enjoyed all the games
Imagine all YCS’s being canceled due to a virus pandemic
Since Konami can alter rules(as we seen as the the draw phase for going first players) going second player should be able to draw two cards. That makes it not a die roll format and makes the players who won give a second thought if they want to go first or second.
But its not really a dice roll format though
im glad they never fixed MBT's audio lmao
I think the one fatal flaw that the synchro eldlich variant has is it's extremely more vulnerable to nibiru, while with adamancipator, at least you can play through a nibiru with the extenders. Really not surprised by this result. I really do hope Konami take steps taking adamancipator down on the banlist with Block Dragon being banned and banning either Linkross or Halq. preferably both.
Linkcross isnt officially legal in the tcg yet, so it won't get banned. Halqi is still selling (help selling) duel overload, so it probably won't either
Combo eldlich is weak to any hand traps, have you seen the top 4 match? Just negate the halfqafibrax and it stop their combo.
@Hehe Haha O-lion has a confirmed reprint later this year. Chances of it getting banned are slim to non. Jet Synchron probably. But then Quickdraw takes the spotlight or plaguespreader zombie.
Adamancipator 💜
Finals should have been Goat format
Were can we find the decklists?
Eldlich should go back to it's control variant, the reason it's combo variant has been on the rise was because NOBODY was playing Nibiru due to it being useless against Adamacipator, now everyone will use it against combo Eldlich, and as can be seen in this match, the deck was extremely vulnerable against it.
Eh they die to any hand trap like ash/veiler/imperm no need to start main decking Nibiru. Just use any of those hand traps on halfqafibrax and they can't continue their combo.
I have to ask what does deck lock down and different dimension ground do against these decks if I were to use them ?
Hey Cimoo I have a suggestion for your next video. How good is token collector! I seen a lot of pro players using it to help them against eldlich combo and adamantia
*sees the video is 13 minutes long* hm who will win
here we go!
Saw it was short video. Which deck is going first? Adamancipator? Ok we know winner.
Nevertheless hav enjoyed watching this tournament cimoo
My theory is if they decide to make any banlist changes which they might not because theirs no official play happening then it might be banning raptite and semi limiting all of the mini adamancipators to hurt the consistency and power of the deck but not destroy it. I don't see them banning neddlefiber as they just released linkross and neddle and want to sell packs and banning block would bury the deck so they probably won't do that yet either.
Banning block won't bury the deck. Banning block will put the deck more towards its roots as a synchro deck and more rng based. Block has to go.
New speed duel format looks good
There were more duels than the eldlich player got turns played
When the eldlich player activated antispell it made me think if it stops union carrier cause the monster is a equip spell
Yay finally
O-lion not getting touch, because of the Battle of Legend reprint. Everything else that came out this year isnt getting touch, until September most likely. Block Dragon/Buster Buster dude is the only one NOT safe, he's not gonna be at 3 in June. And in all honesty, just hitting Needlefinder will enough to save the rest of the cards that work with it in September.
How to win a best of 3 in 3 turns:
1. Win RPS
2. Open Nibiru & Reboot
3. Open any 2 starters in your 40 card deck
Tbh.. this format is terrible. Nothing compares in power level to these 2 decks and it's super unsatisfying to watch. Seeing dark ruler no more having to be MAIN DECKED just to have A CHANCE of winning is absolutely disgusting. There's no variance in the meta and the problematic cards (needlefiber being our key starter here) are unlikely to be seen on any banlist in the near future as it was just released recently. This will reign eternal for quite a while and oh my lord will the game go stale fast. So much for MR5 shaking up the meta
Funny how complaints contradict themselves. Players complained about sky strikers and orcust and how the format was stale. People wanted new meta decks and here we are! New meta decks. Now players want these decks destroyed on the ban list and wish we could go back to the stale format from before.
Exactly. Its hilarious stuff
Edlich vs Adamancipator finals who could’ve seen this coming
Would a virus Deck be useful against adamanipator or eldlich?
Ah yes the originality vs originality matchup
Could the board duel one be dark holed?
There is an illegal play at 3:23, the adamancipator player use the o lion token to make a link spider, but he is under the linkross who says that he cannot use token to link summon.. and he does the same play at 10:01..
> Adam goes first
> 13 min long vid
OK GG bois, see ya next CCC!
Lol why is everyone crying. Its a new Format so Konami need to have some new Decks. When Engage was released everyone was saying "Engage needs to be banned" blablabla... Now "Block Dragon needs to be banned" "This format is shit". They will Hit the decks indirect and not banning fuckong Block or limiting the fucking adaman tuners. Or Limiting Samguine or some shit like that. Konami released them 1 Month ago what are you expecting? Wtf
A three turn finals... Very exciting. Competitive Yu-Gi-Oh is in a very bad place right now
Not really
lets get some deck profiles!!!!
Adimancipator vs Elditch in the finals?
And sky is blue...
Who knew?
can you do a version of the crush card cup but do it in partnership with farfa. so we could have a no meta tournament not necessariy highlander but something similar where you can only have 1 copy of any effect card and up to 3 of vanillas? something that will ensure weird and stupid games
