Typically Nekroz players at the time would play fusions as a joke like Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon/Fire Headed Dragon, but some would use a Synchro 12 that's technically summonable with Trish + a handtrap like Onimaru or something to just make the Trish a bit bigger.
That made me think of a Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories speedrun where the opponent played Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, and on the next turn, the player drew Raigeki, destroyed BEUD, and attacked for game. It's so poetic for a Yu-Gi-Oh! speedrun to end like that.
As soon as I heard he found another Fusion Summon target and the fact he needed to get rid of FIVE Dragon Type monsters my head immediately went "He's got Five-Headed Dragon in his Extra Deck doesn't he?"
How TF do you watch a miracle like that happen and not laugh or fall on your knees in awe? Forget the fucking game, your board has been touched by God. Whether you're the player or the target, you've actually done an anime thing! These are awesome memories! Who cares about the game at that point?
Yeah, like I probably be annoyed at first too but after asking why he even has the card I would probably just lath. Who am I to go againt the Will of the cards after all?
Honestly sounded like the guy was already having a bad day to start with given that he wasn't pleasant during the pleasantries and was throwing slurs and insults over getting locked out of the game in game 2. Dude was a bomb waiting to go off at that point.
*Super Poly'd Five-Headed Dragon Field Clear?! And that FHD was meant to be Necroz Ritual fodder?!* My god, the stars aligned *perfectly* for this guy!
Before you said the Five Headed Dragon, I was like: "Dude, NO WAY he plays Five Headed Dragon". And when you started counting, I was: DUDE HE ACTUALLY DOES!
I’m curious since its only been released in 6 sets to date; which version did he have? The 2006 SD09-ENSS1, 2011 GLD4-EN031, 2012 LC03-EN004, 2015 PGL2-EN078, 2016 MIL1-EN012 or 2019 BLHR-EN000? If i remember correctly the 2006 release PSA graded 10 goes for 72 or 73 bucks.
I ran a fun, non tourney, deck that was Blue eyes max with a 5 head in extra deck. When he kept making a big deal about his opponents field being nothing but dragons I started to suspect the monster would be showing its heads to secure the victory.
something about yugioh really does seem to attract the WORST of individuals. im not saying everyone who plays yugioh is a bad person but if a bad person is gonna play a TCG i guarentee its yugioh.
Maybe because of the way it's designed to be the most God awful thing imaginable. Like no semblance of balance what do ever, the "I'm not touching you" Jewish shit of like choosing vs targeting, sense from hand to graveyard vs discarding, the fact everything is immune to destruction so why does destruction exist at all Oh and just child porn child porn child porn of little girls everywhere GEE I WONDER WHY IT FACILITIES BAD
You know, I always knew someone would get punched over super-poly I just didn't think it would be a judge of all people. Poor guy literally just showed up and got socked.
As I've stated before, my primary attendance for tournaments is as a staff member - primarily a judge. I have several stories from what was quite literally the WORST Regional Qualifier I've ever worked at. For the sake of this and the stories at this event, I won't be using real names. It was April of 2009 and I rolled up to the hotel's venue room to help the organizers setup. "Oh by the way, Leon... we got a couple of sick calls from the other judges." That's no big deal, having to cover an additional role is something I'm used to. How bad could it possibly be? "So it'll be Barbara and yourself working as our judge staff, I'd like you to be the head judge. We expect you to be on your toes! This is going to be a big turn out! We're expecting at least a hundred players. But you got this!" Fuck. Barbara is kind of a special case. She travels to tournaments across Canada and the United States, all while dragging her husband and son along. Claiming it'll be a family bonding experience or whatever. She works at the tournament while their little boy aspires to be one of the very best players. Sure... are delusions of grandeur the only thing you experience? On top of this, Barbara has next to no knowledge of the game or how to judge - how she got the qualifications, I still do not know to this day. Either way, she was my only other judge that I had to work with - today is going to suck. The tournament begins and we have just over one hundred players attending, two judges, and two organizers - one of which has volunteered to enter match information, print the pairings and match slips, while the other has volunteered to cut the match slips and help us pass them out. We have a system in place! A half-assed system, but a system regardless. As head judge, I address my players and tell them that staff is limited and I apologize ahead of time if we don't immediately get to your table with any judge calls. "Without further hesitation, it's time to duel. You may begin round one and best of luck." I realize that I don't have my water bottle and that I left it behind in the staff area when I was setting up. Retreating behind the staff tables, I quickly retrieve it and I hear "JUDGE", I look up and see Barbara approaching the table. Surely she's got it, right? "LEON", well... I suppose that's one way to ask for the head judge. Just shout for them by name like Ashley from Resident Evil 4. I approach the table and ask what's up. "My opponent has drawn extra cards." "No I didn't, I would never cheat." "You clearly did." "You just didn't pay attention. I don't need to cheat to beat someone like you." Barbara turns to me and says that she cannot reverse engineer the turn that just transpired and is unable to figure out what happened. I sigh and look ask the accused player what he did during his turn. They were playing Lightsworn and this player had clearly intentionally cheated by drawing additional cards. "I drew for my turn. Activated Solar Recharge, discarding Garoth. Activated Charge of the Light Brigade, searched my deck for Ryko. I activated Solar Recharge, discarding Celestia. I activated my third copy of Solar Recharge discarding Ehren. I activated Gold Sarcophagus. I set a monster and ended my turn. Then I discarded three cards because my hand was too big." 5 + 1 = 6 (draw for turn) 6 - 2 + 2 = 6 (Recharge discard Garoth, drawing two) 6 - 1 + 1 = 6 (Charge adding Ryko) 6 - 2 + 2 = 6 (Recharge discarding Celestia, drawing two) 6 - 2 + 2 = 6 (Recharge discarding Ehren, drawing two) 6 - 1 = 5 (Gold Sarcophagus being played) 5 - 1 = 4 (set a monster) "So with what you told me, you have four cards in hand after all of that. Yet I'm looking at your hand right now and you're holding six in hand." I proceed to pick up the hand off the table and nod at the pretty stacked hand that automatically wins on the next turn no matter what. "Sorry friend, but your math isn't quite add up - no pun intended." I proceed to give this duelist a "DC - Major" and issue a game loss. Both players shuffle up and proceed to start game two. I find a comfortable spot against the wall to watch my draw happy friend just out of their view. Barbara continues to walk the tables and inspect the other matches, while I'm focused on my new friend. He had opted to go second and he draws his opening hand. Well that's odd. I can even tell from where I'm standing that's not right. He proceeds to shuffle his hand and his opponent hasn't noticed yet, but he's done it again. I'll wait just a bit longer before I approach the table. His opponent does... stuff, I really wasn't paying attention, just what my new friend was doing. It's his turn and he draws. He shuffles his hand and I move in. "How are things? Going good so far? That's fantastic to hear. Hey buddy, cards in hand? Nine in hand? That's impressive, good sir. I'm not only going to give you another game loss, but I'm also going to issue a disqualification. Please leave the venue. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend." You'd think this would be the end, but I said this was the worst for a reason. You see... Barbara had been doing some sneaky stuff of her own. It was during the final swiss round before the top cut. I'm having a discussion with Barbara and the two organizers how we're going to handle the two win-a-mat events as well as the top cut. The organizer actually came up with a rather genius idea for the win-a-mat and I was on board with it. These were smaller eight player tournaments, and he'd give them each a booster pack. Whoever got the highest rarity card won the mat. That's actually kind of cool, it would allow Barbara and myself to focus on the top cut and he can do this on his own. Plus he said he'd throw in a few extra packs for prizing because it won't be a "proper" tournament. *beep beep beep* Barbara pulls out her cell phone and reads a text message she just received, then proceeds to excuse herself. She's probably responding to something work related, whatever. It's no big deal. The organizer suggests I should walk the floor and check in on my players. That's when I see her, standing over a match that her son is participating in. Only her son has his cell phone in his lap. I make a beeline for the table and tell Barbara that I didn't hear a judge call. "Oh, my son put his hand up a I was going to the washroom. I figured I'd see what's wrong." I dismiss her and ask what's up. Her son, of whom I'll call Thomas, says that his opponent is cheating and that Barbara was about to issue a game loss before I interrupted. I ask what the current match score is and I'm told it's 1-1, a game loss would not only crown Thomas the winner, but it would put him into the top cut. That's not suspicious at all. I immediately ask Thomas why his phone is on his lap and not in his pocket or in his backpack. His opponent chimes in with "I was about to attack for game when he pulled it out, then that judge showed up, and now I'm being accused of cheating." Thomas attempts to explain with something like he was laughing at a funny text message he received, completely unrelated to the match at hand. I take a deep breath and tell both players to pause their match, I needed to take care of something before they continue. That if needed, I'll provide them with a time extension. Spoiler, that extension wasn't going to be needed. Having caught Barbara red handed, I immediately tell the organizers what she had been doing. That she must have been helping Thomas throughout the tournament without us noticing. The organizer pulls her aside, they have a heated argument, and then next thing I know Barbara is being told to leave. "Never giving her a judge contract again after pulling a stunt like that. Now go kick her son out too." You got it, boss! Now completely on my own to finish judging this tournament, I can finally see the finish goal within sight. With my friends telling me part-way through that they were getting me dinner afterwards. The final round was done and over with. The top cut was played out. They received their prizes. The paperwork was filled out for Canadian National Championships invites. I received my payment and my judge compensation. I asked my friends to get me McDonald's and drive me home. Cheap food and a well earned nap. That concludes the worst event I've ever judged at.
“Your pathetic deck”, my deck contains no pathetic cards but it does contain 5 headed dragon. He had the heart of the cards and pulled of a shining draw of super poly against a guy who deserved it 100% LOL.
I can't believe this man was faced with a true yugioh anime moment, and he chose to rage... dude should have been happy to be part of something so iconic lol
I heard that it was a random fusion card and thought immediately “how cool would it be to ritual away 5 headed dragon” and then realized “he’s running 5 headed” while loosing my mind. If that happened to me I would laugh so hard and be impressed
I see everyone's talking about how Makoto basically got an anime protag scene but no one's realised it goes even further than the standard "bullshit hyper-specific topdeck to overturn an unwinnable situation" - how many times in the anime do we see characters conveniently forget about specific cards in their deck (or even better its entire contents) until it conveniently ends up bailing them out? It literally reminded me of how, despite desperately staring at his hand during the entire duel with Ishizu, Kaiba didn't acknowledge the Blue-Eyes in his hand _even once..._ until it insulated him from losing.
"Who runs that as a super poly target?" "Well not me, I use it for something else" It is my absolute favorite thing when you have a play that is totally possible but you never play it until that 1 time when it saves you when nothing else could
The icing on the top if that mat he got to keep from the guy who ran. Not only did he fuse his dragons into 5-headed dragon, but he got a prize from it; like the mat itself rejected its original owner and came to him; granted there's only 4 dragons instead of 5 but it's close enough. Probably one of the most anime moments to happen in the card game in real life! :D
Same energy as when I was a Gym Leader in the pre-Rocket Pokemon League. "Who the fuck plays Gambler?!" "I do. Heads." People were so used to discarding their entire hand to draw 7 with Oak that they never considered you can shuffle your hand back into your deck and draw 8.
"1, 2, 3, 4, OH MY GOSH!! This is gonna work!" That has to be the greatest of the greatest of Heart of the Cards moments ever!!!! And for a freaking 16 year old to pull that off too? This hero HAD to have felt at least a little smug when doing that. Like.... It's REQUIRED. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Good job to this story's hero. If I saw that Super Poly, I would just smile and say, "Well, ya got me. You're the champion now." And I'd just let my opponent play it out because it's just way too fun to lose to that. Ya gotta let 'em play it out and see the huge smile on their face as they defeat you. It's too good.
Sad part is, I just feel like the whole bathwater thing was the opening of Pandora's box. Now it seems like anyone that is considered even mildly attractive can sell anything to desperate people online once they have enough of a following.
First. Holy crap, this guy needs to chill the hell out. 😂 Imagine punching a judge at a FREAKING YU-GI-OH! TOURNAMENT! Sheesh. He clearly needs anger management.
I always find it funny when someone plays none meta cards or builds, and when they win with it, the opponent ask, who would play that.... dude, you were there?! Your opponent would.
This might be my favorite episode I'm at work and when he said "All of Them" I was like "It's 5-Headed Dragon" and when you said 5 headed Dragon I jumped out of my chair dying of laughter holy crap what a play.😂😂😂
As soon as Super Poly was drawn , I knew it was gonna be 5 Head, but I still smiled with joy when it was finally revealed! Awesome idea for such a super specific match-up. GGs Makoto. Nice playmat!
This story made me unfathomably excited/happy. I love five headed dragon. Way back in the day I had a really crappy random dragon pile deck of a bunch of cards I liked. I only ever got to fuse that bad boy once, but you best believe he was in my extra deck. From the moment you said “super poly” I was just going to “please be five headed dragon” over and over.
First time i went to locals i was about 12, this was back in 2014 before pendulums. I remember dark world being the biggest deck at the time and i was running an extremely cheeky kuriboh stall deck. 60 cards, all littered with stall and burn. I ended up going 1-1 by the and of round 2 which isnt too bad. I started game 1 with an amazing hand, a couple flute of summoning kuribohs, a couple really powerfull stall traps, transendent wings and chaos sorcerer. I started by gettong my kuribohs on the field as fodder for my sorcerer and passed. He managed to get 3 really powerful cards out first i let him destroy both of my monsters an and ended up using mirror force against his last one, him having no way to react he used book of moon on his strongest card he had out to stop it from being destroyed. A Needless to say next turn i had enough fodder in my hands to use transendent wings. I managed to get my chaos sorcerer and a winged kuriboh out with 2 cards left in my hand. thanks to a removing from play his most powerful monster he had out and having my field set up i was ready for what he threw at me, he managed to get a 4000+ attack monster out and his 3000+ attack monster out he went to battle. I ended up using transendent wings and wiped his field and he lost over 6000 life point. He had 1 card left in his hand but he must have not had a good one. He started screaming and yelling saying that "this is bullshit" and litterally threw a chair across yhe room. He got kicked out, i was upset and scared at this grown ass man reacting like that, the shop owner gave me a free couple packs and i ended up coming tied 2nd with someone else.
Anyone wondering he was playing a dark world deck, it's been so long though I can't remember what monsters he got out. Think high level dark world monsters
Imagine going to jail over a children's card game over a goated anime moment brought to life bro it isn't that serious, that's what yugioh is all about
If he was running a nekroz dogmatika variant i would probably understand the inclusion of 5 headed dragon but given the time period that was the last thing i expected ngl
Man, I'd have loved to see the other guy's reaction to Albaz just hitting the field. Albaz just being like: "Hi! Say goodbye to all of your dragons! Yoink!" and then Albaz leaves and brings out one of his fusion Dragons. Even better since Albaz's effect doesn't target, which means most forms of negation/protection won't stop Albaz's effect.
Damn. And here I thought I had a solid story about a salty 30+ year old. The guy ended up against me. He was playing full power Teledad at that time where it was at the top of the charts. I was playing Yubel. Which, at the time, was a bricky mess of a deck with no reliable win-con. Somehow, I managed to 2-0 him by tanking ALL of his deck's destruction effects. Twice. Every time he'd blow up Yubel, I'd already have one or two ways to bring it back ready for another round. The man was livid. But at least he didn't punch anyone. o_O
@@evanchismark3092 Never in my life would I have imagined it. Heck, I only DREAMED it would get support, never actually expecting it to actually happen.
@@blazesona12 I got really lucky on that set. XD A crazier match I had was against an Exodia deck. Managed to win by staling him out of options. Try figuring that one out. :p Just goes to show that even bad decks have their day.
It's moments like these that remind me why I love TCGs. Those perfect moments where something unexpected comes together and you get to do something completely unplanned and outrageous with the pieces you planned to use for something else entirely, because the stars aligned in the exact right way to make a board state you could never have predicted or even planned for... but there it is. The play. Absolutely peak anime protagonist energy. I'd have been hard pressed not to do my best LittleKuriboh Pharaoh voice on that "All of them!", punctuated with the satisfying snap of the card onto the mat. Bliss. :)
I have a short but sweet story from years ago. This was back when Konami recently released the tournament legal Winged Dragon of Ra card. There was a guy who had a copy in his deck and he really wanted to duel with it. He decided to challenge me and I accepted (while this was at a local tournament, it was just a casual duel). I ran an Amazoness deck back then. I don't remember all the minor details, just the big moment. The guy eventually managed to draw and summon Ra and used its effect to feed it all but 100 of his life points. While it was strong, it wasn't strong enough to knock me out after destroying one of my monsters. After he finishes his attack, it's my turn. I draw and the card I drew was Amazoness Swordswoman, who had the nasty effect of having any damage that I would take from Battles involving her be dealt to my opponent instead. I had an evil grin as I summoned Swordswoman and had her attack Ra. She was destroyed but my opponent took the damage, and he only had the 100 LP from using Ra's effect. He was shocked he lost the duel, while I was laughing like crazy from what I did. Easily my proudest moment in Yu-Gi-Oh. Even if it wasn't a tournament duel.
Its not commonly known, but this story was adapted in the anime, and Makoto's opponent was designed as a parody of loud/angry sore losers: Bandit 'America!' Keith!
I know I'm not an 30s autistic yugioh player, but if someone dropped a super poly with 5-headed dragon on my ass I would still be laughing to this day because of how the absurdity
I love when I'm playing against someone and they get a real "heart of the cards" moment. It's part of what makes the game so much fun, infuriating but fun
Gonna be honest, Five-Headed Dragon should be run as a Super Poly target more often. It’s niche, but it comes in clutch. Also, based Makoto for keeping the playmat.
as an oldschool player from gen 1, i'm SO happy that after having thought it was ultimate dragon the whole time, the moment he said all of them it instantly clicked and loom and i at the same time exclaimed FIVE HEADED DRAGON!
Some higher power out there was like "This old guy is trying to beat this kid? Naw, have the only out little man, and become the Yami Yugi you were always meant to be."
And this is why, whenever you need random cards in your extra deck, make sure they can under a niche circumstance be used. For example including a fusion lvl 12 instead of a synchro since you have super poly.
Ikr, since nowadays if I want to play a Nekroz/Dogmatika deck, I'd bring Luluwa or BEUD (if I'm crazy enough to play Magia) as extra fodders if there's no specific deck to counter
I got a story for your next video. This is the Story of Magicalibra with the unfathomable Dark Magicians! It was March 2022 I believe.. somewhere in there. I was playing Dark Magician back when Predaplant Verte Anaconda was at 3. I went to my locals and was playing a broken version of dark magician from the discord group chat that we discussed and had been training to use. I have other duels of it on my channel too. In the tournament I went 3-2. Round 3 began with me facing a skinny guy who seemed like he read a lot of books and was a shaggy haired skateboarder I guess? This was before the albaz structure deck came out with branded fusion so nobody had access to it. Round 3 began and I sat down at the table. We seemed to get along like brothers. We roll the dice, I won the dice roll, I chose to go first. I had full combo immediately and did all my dark magic things and pulled out all my tricks from my magic hat. I ended with a board of Eternal soul, Dark Magic Circle, set Super Poly, set Twin Twister, Verte Anaconda, and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, with 3 cards in hand because I was able to banish Soul servant to draw 2 cards all in turn 1. My opponent is playing the despia Albaz deck before the branded structure deck.. and realizes he can’t beat my board.. “on to game 2” he says… Game 2 begins and he goes first. It’s is very important that I note: in my version of the Dark Magician Deck at the time I played NO Hand Traps.. it was all GAS no BRAKES! He goes first. He does his whole combo with of course no interruptions from me. He ends with a board of 2 Masquerade The Blazing Dragon (they each make me pay 600 LP to activate ANYTHING), 1 Despian Quaeritis, and a set Infinite Impermanence, with an ash blossom in hand. I never faced this before.. so I asked him to clarify.. and basically he said I would be burned 1200 LP for every card or effect “activation.” So I sat and looked at my hand and saw I had full combo.. but did not know if I could full combo and survive that 1200 burn… i knew I needed to get rid of at least 1 of the Blazing dragons to even play…I started sweating.. over thinking.. contemplating.. and THEN!… I said: Ah Screw it! All gas no brakes!!! Let’s goooooooooooo!!! I started playing my hand with no care about the burn.. 1200 LP here… 1200 there… and again… but then! I got rid of 1 of the Blazing dragons when I had 4400 LP left! I don’t remember how I did it.. I may have done it by banishing it with DM Circle?.. At this point I it was time to keep playing! 600 LP here.. and there.. again.. and again.. AND AGAIN!! For a while it went on burning me while combo’ing and my opponent kept asking: “can you win?” And all I could say was “I Don’t Know but I certainly will try!!” I was able to set up my field with the previous field I mentioned before like in game 1 but this time instead of 2 set cards I had dragoon, Verte, Dark Magician, super poly in hand, and secrets of dark magic in hand, along with jester confit in hand (he is a free special summon SPELLCASTER type monster) and some other card in hand.. I use dragoon to pop his Blazing dragon and burn him for 2500 LP. (Thinking: finally! No more burn!) I use dragoon’s second pop on the despian fusion but he Quick Fused it into something that couldn’t be destroyed by card effects. So that was a dud.. and it was in attack mode with I think 2900 attack or something like that.. So I used secrets of dark magic in my hand to fuse Dark Magcian and the jester confit in my hand. Summoning “the dark magicians”. I attack his new monster with “the dark magicians” to destroy my monster and get Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl back onto my field. Attack with dragoon over his new monster. Dealing 100 LP To keep track of LP for you.. he got me all the way down to: 200 LP in the VERY END of the duel. as of right now I’ve dealt him 2500 LP and 100 LP. I then attack directly with Dark Magician and DM Girl. That’s another 2500 LP and 2000 LP for a total of: 7100 LP. He has 900 LP left and I have 200LP left… And then everything kinda slowed down for a minute.. my opponent said: “man that was close.. you almost had me! Okay.. so game 3?” I simply replied with: “No… this was the best game I’ve had in years my friend… but now it has to end… take care..” A puzzled expression was on his face… he didn’t know what to think or what I meant… As I slammed super poly down from my hand discarding the last card in my hand and fusing away my 2 magicians to make starving venom fusion dragon and attacking for Game! Before actually attacking for game my opponent kept screaming: Nooo wayyyyyyy and Whaaaaaaaaaat??!! In a dramatic way that was In shock and surprise (a good way) I attacked and it was done! I went 2-0 against him! And he was stunned.. I was surprised, and by the time I looked up from the table.. everyone was watching our duel! It was awesome! And a moment I will NEVER forget! I don’t know where that guy is today but let him know my handle on RUclips is Magicalibra and we had this duel at TBS COMICS in Pensecola, FL if you would please? I certainly would love to reconnect with him!
When Loom mentioned lvl 12 fusion monster in Koto's Extra Deck while he was showing Nekroz Kaleidoscope, I fucking knew which monster he was going to summon xD
I got a kind of fun yugioh tourney story. I was at locals in 2018. I had a two loss one win under my belt and then the funniest yet weirdest thing happened in round 4. I was playing an all foil mash-up deck like usual and I know that’s not really a typical strategy but I like it and it works more often than you would think. The shop where locals was hosted was closing down soon so this was the next to last tournament. My opponent and I were in the far right corner for our duel which was nice cause the aggressive players were at the other end of the area. He was playing toons which I told him is one of my favorite archetypes and it turned out he felt the same. Always nice to meet a fellow fan of the game I told him. He said the same. We shook hands, introduced ourselves and started. Game one: I bricked a little hard but it was fine. Was the last round and I was a little worn out. He played toon table of contents. Got toon kingdom and played it. Got out red eyes toon and toon dark magician plus one back row. I drew for my turn and the only card I could really play was electromagnetic turtle. On his turn he got dimensional fissure if I remember right and I gave him game one. Game two went the opposite. Turned out he bricked really hard with only spells. I got a great hand and won on turn four. We were both laughing though cause we knew it was a tie but we were having fun. Third and final game was back and forth. For three turns each neither of us got monsters but on my fourth turn I finally got my inspector boarder. Only had one at the time. I got two attacks in and then he drew toon Gemini elf and equipped it with black pendant. Was the first hit to my life points but no worries. Then he played toon kingdom and ended his turn. I eventually won but felt a little bad about it. He had forgotten his toon kingdom could save his toon monsters. I reminded him after the duel. He had completely forgotten. We both just smiled and had a one game duel after the tournament. I was glad to not have just met someone who liked playing the game for fun but a fellow duelist who enjoyed just playing a fun card game. Was the last locals I’ve done in the past years due to more aggressive players going to the locals near me but it was definitely a fun way to end that locals! Also, in case this story of mine does get talked about in a video I go by my nickname Mike at locals.
Sadly I cannot remember everything from this match in particular, but what I remember I wanna share. In 2007 I was playing a E-Hero Pile, which literally ran all Heros at least as a one-of. I was called the Hero-Guy just because I had a fusion deck bigger than my Main Deck, but thanks to that I normally would have a Fusion summonable everytime. The Game which I clearly remember the winning turn had following game state. My opponent was down to 1100 LPs had a Gravity Bind and a Messenger Of Peace up and would finish me off next turn with his next top deck - yes he played a Burn-Stun Deck. I was able to burn his LP down thanks to Lady Heat, but thanks to his perfectly drawn removal I had to gamble on my next card I would draw. The card I got was one I totally forgot that I still had it in my build: Reinforcements of the Army. My opponent smiled and was sure of is victory, since the only "low level" hero he knew I should run, since most Hero Decks at that time ran 1 Avian for Wild Wingman. But the moment I activated confident the rota and said: The game is over. He looked in my eyes and said: "No way... you are not running" I added Burstinatrix, which just to happened to be a Level 3 Monster with 1200 Atk - and was able to attack and reduce the remaining LPs to Zero. It's sad that you only tell stories about YGO, since I would have "judge helped"-story for Cardfight Vanguard. It's a tale I love to tell and remember it by heart.
"ALL OF THEM!" bro probably felt like a yugioh main character
I know, holy shit
Probably what Atem/Yugi would have said to Kaiba if Kaiba ever got his rematch with the Pharoah.
*Sealed Miracle Intensifies*
He is the main character
He *was* a yugioh main character!
When you run a card that never comes up in 99% of your duels, but the 1% of times is glorious
Reminds n of the RA story
@@losimeek5193i always that story, he runs 1 Ra for the small chance he gets sphere’d
I have at least one of those in all of my control decks. I recently started running Clockwork Night just to lock everyone into being machines
Typically Nekroz players at the time would play fusions as a joke like Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon/Fire Headed Dragon, but some would use a Synchro 12 that's technically summonable with Trish + a handtrap like Onimaru or something to just make the Trish a bit bigger.
Legit my entire deck is full of gimmick cards like that, it’s the most inconsistent deck I have but by far my most likely to win a duel deck
This is a full on protagonist “Only one card in my deck can save me!” moment
Only one card in my deck can save me! And only one card in my sidedeck can save me! IDK lololol
Fr. 😂
That made me think of a Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories speedrun where the opponent played Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, and on the next turn, the player drew Raigeki, destroyed BEUD, and attacked for game. It's so poetic for a Yu-Gi-Oh! speedrun to end like that.

As soon as I heard he found another Fusion Summon target and the fact he needed to get rid of FIVE Dragon Type monsters my head immediately went "He's got Five-Headed Dragon in his Extra Deck doesn't he?"
As soon as I heard super poly and dragon link I knew it was over
I realized that as soon as he said "Level 12" lol
I'm not much into Yugioh anymore, but even I knew where it was going and was so giddy when it happened!
I knew it the second he said he had Fusions in his Extra Deck!
I was at that point when he top decked SP

I've wanted 2 swing on a person that top decked a 2nd super poly after I recovered from the first.. but he was over 18
"All of them" and slamming down a fucking five headed dragon is a based gigachad move, best one of these story time vids yet
How TF do you watch a miracle like that happen and not laugh or fall on your knees in awe? Forget the fucking game, your board has been touched by God. Whether you're the player or the target, you've actually done an anime thing! These are awesome memories! Who cares about the game at that point?
Yeah, like I probably be annoyed at first too but after asking why he even has the card I would probably just lath. Who am I to go againt the Will of the cards after all?
That just shows how bad & toxic he was
Nah if my opponent hit me with the super poly into 5 headed dragon I would be happy to loose
a five headed god!
Honestly sounded like the guy was already having a bad day to start with given that he wasn't pleasant during the pleasantries and was throwing slurs and insults over getting locked out of the game in game 2. Dude was a bomb waiting to go off at that point.

SUPER POLY 5 HEADED DRAGON USING ALL OF YOUR OPPONENTS MONSTERS IS HILARIOUS
Before you said the Five Headed Dragon, I was like: "Dude, NO WAY he plays Five Headed Dragon". And when you started counting, I was: DUDE HE ACTUALLY DOES!
to be fair i also play it in my nekroz deck i mean why wouldnt you its a nice punishment (when n'tis isnt gonna cut it) and mirror target
@Nephie1984 Like in the story says: WHO PLAYS THAT AS A SUPER POLY TARGET, or in another way of saying it, it is a tech card NOBODY expects
I said you only play 2 12s 5 head or quasar
I’m curious since its only been released in 6 sets to date; which version did he have? The 2006 SD09-ENSS1, 2011 GLD4-EN031, 2012 LC03-EN004, 2015 PGL2-EN078, 2016 MIL1-EN012 or 2019 BLHR-EN000? If i remember correctly the 2006 release PSA graded 10 goes for 72 or 73 bucks.
I ran a fun, non tourney, deck that was Blue eyes max with a 5 head in extra deck. When he kept making a big deal about his opponents field being nothing but dragons I started to suspect the monster would be showing its heads to secure the victory.
HE KEPT THE PLAYMAT LMFAO
that one detail took this story from crazy to legendary

something about yugioh really does seem to attract the WORST of individuals. im not saying everyone who plays yugioh is a bad person but if a bad person is gonna play a TCG i guarentee its yugioh.
Maybe because of the way it's designed to be the most God awful thing imaginable. Like no semblance of balance what do ever, the "I'm not touching you" Jewish shit of like choosing vs targeting, sense from hand to graveyard vs discarding, the fact everything is immune to destruction so why does destruction exist at all

The moment he started counting the number of dragons I knew EXACTLY which fusion it was. Rarely ever get to see FHD get played
Yep. Once heard the counting I was grinning ear to ear.
@codebreaker4866 I have a copy of FHD myself, but it's still rare I ever summon him. Namely due to me not wanting to waste the summon
I knew as soon as super poly was mentioned against dragon links
Pretty sure Makoto rarely ever sees it get played either lol.
You know, I always knew someone would get punched over super-poly
I just didn't think it would be a judge of all people. Poor guy literally just showed up and got socked.
Bro got the gold experience 💀💀💀 all seven pages
As I've stated before, my primary attendance for tournaments is as a staff member - primarily a judge. I have several stories from what was quite literally the WORST Regional Qualifier I've ever worked at. For the sake of this and the stories at this event, I won't be using real names.
It was April of 2009 and I rolled up to the hotel's venue room to help the organizers setup. "Oh by the way, Leon... we got a couple of sick calls from the other judges." That's no big deal, having to cover an additional role is something I'm used to. How bad could it possibly be? "So it'll be Barbara and yourself working as our judge staff, I'd like you to be the head judge. We expect you to be on your toes! This is going to be a big turn out! We're expecting at least a hundred players. But you got this!" Fuck.
Barbara is kind of a special case. She travels to tournaments across Canada and the United States, all while dragging her husband and son along. Claiming it'll be a family bonding experience or whatever. She works at the tournament while their little boy aspires to be one of the very best players. Sure... are delusions of grandeur the only thing you experience? On top of this, Barbara has next to no knowledge of the game or how to judge - how she got the qualifications, I still do not know to this day. Either way, she was my only other judge that I had to work with - today is going to suck.
The tournament begins and we have just over one hundred players attending, two judges, and two organizers - one of which has volunteered to enter match information, print the pairings and match slips, while the other has volunteered to cut the match slips and help us pass them out. We have a system in place! A half-assed system, but a system regardless. As head judge, I address my players and tell them that staff is limited and I apologize ahead of time if we don't immediately get to your table with any judge calls. "Without further hesitation, it's time to duel. You may begin round one and best of luck."
I realize that I don't have my water bottle and that I left it behind in the staff area when I was setting up. Retreating behind the staff tables, I quickly retrieve it and I hear "JUDGE", I look up and see Barbara approaching the table. Surely she's got it, right? "LEON", well... I suppose that's one way to ask for the head judge. Just shout for them by name like Ashley from Resident Evil 4. I approach the table and ask what's up.
"My opponent has drawn extra cards." "No I didn't, I would never cheat." "You clearly did." "You just didn't pay attention. I don't need to cheat to beat someone like you."
Barbara turns to me and says that she cannot reverse engineer the turn that just transpired and is unable to figure out what happened. I sigh and look ask the accused player what he did during his turn. They were playing Lightsworn and this player had clearly intentionally cheated by drawing additional cards.
"I drew for my turn. Activated Solar Recharge, discarding Garoth. Activated Charge of the Light Brigade, searched my deck for Ryko. I activated Solar Recharge, discarding Celestia. I activated my third copy of Solar Recharge discarding Ehren. I activated Gold Sarcophagus. I set a monster and ended my turn. Then I discarded three cards because my hand was too big."
5 + 1 = 6 (draw for turn)
6 - 2 + 2 = 6 (Recharge discard Garoth, drawing two)
6 - 1 + 1 = 6 (Charge adding Ryko)
6 - 2 + 2 = 6 (Recharge discarding Celestia, drawing two)
6 - 2 + 2 = 6 (Recharge discarding Ehren, drawing two)
6 - 1 = 5 (Gold Sarcophagus being played)
5 - 1 = 4 (set a monster)
"So with what you told me, you have four cards in hand after all of that. Yet I'm looking at your hand right now and you're holding six in hand." I proceed to pick up the hand off the table and nod at the pretty stacked hand that automatically wins on the next turn no matter what. "Sorry friend, but your math isn't quite add up - no pun intended."
I proceed to give this duelist a "DC - Major" and issue a game loss. Both players shuffle up and proceed to start game two. I find a comfortable spot against the wall to watch my draw happy friend just out of their view. Barbara continues to walk the tables and inspect the other matches, while I'm focused on my new friend.
He had opted to go second and he draws his opening hand. Well that's odd. I can even tell from where I'm standing that's not right. He proceeds to shuffle his hand and his opponent hasn't noticed yet, but he's done it again. I'll wait just a bit longer before I approach the table. His opponent does... stuff, I really wasn't paying attention, just what my new friend was doing. It's his turn and he draws. He shuffles his hand and I move in.
"How are things? Going good so far? That's fantastic to hear. Hey buddy, cards in hand? Nine in hand? That's impressive, good sir. I'm not only going to give you another game loss, but I'm also going to issue a disqualification. Please leave the venue. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend."
You'd think this would be the end, but I said this was the worst for a reason. You see... Barbara had been doing some sneaky stuff of her own.
It was during the final swiss round before the top cut. I'm having a discussion with Barbara and the two organizers how we're going to handle the two win-a-mat events as well as the top cut. The organizer actually came up with a rather genius idea for the win-a-mat and I was on board with it. These were smaller eight player tournaments, and he'd give them each a booster pack. Whoever got the highest rarity card won the mat. That's actually kind of cool, it would allow Barbara and myself to focus on the top cut and he can do this on his own. Plus he said he'd throw in a few extra packs for prizing because it won't be a "proper" tournament.
*beep beep beep* Barbara pulls out her cell phone and reads a text message she just received, then proceeds to excuse herself. She's probably responding to something work related, whatever. It's no big deal. The organizer suggests I should walk the floor and check in on my players. That's when I see her, standing over a match that her son is participating in. Only her son has his cell phone in his lap.
I make a beeline for the table and tell Barbara that I didn't hear a judge call. "Oh, my son put his hand up a I was going to the washroom. I figured I'd see what's wrong." I dismiss her and ask what's up. Her son, of whom I'll call Thomas, says that his opponent is cheating and that Barbara was about to issue a game loss before I interrupted. I ask what the current match score is and I'm told it's 1-1, a game loss would not only crown Thomas the winner, but it would put him into the top cut. That's not suspicious at all.
I immediately ask Thomas why his phone is on his lap and not in his pocket or in his backpack. His opponent chimes in with "I was about to attack for game when he pulled it out, then that judge showed up, and now I'm being accused of cheating." Thomas attempts to explain with something like he was laughing at a funny text message he received, completely unrelated to the match at hand. I take a deep breath and tell both players to pause their match, I needed to take care of something before they continue. That if needed, I'll provide them with a time extension. Spoiler, that extension wasn't going to be needed.
Having caught Barbara red handed, I immediately tell the organizers what she had been doing. That she must have been helping Thomas throughout the tournament without us noticing. The organizer pulls her aside, they have a heated argument, and then next thing I know Barbara is being told to leave. "Never giving her a judge contract again after pulling a stunt like that. Now go kick her son out too." You got it, boss!
Now completely on my own to finish judging this tournament, I can finally see the finish goal within sight. With my friends telling me part-way through that they were getting me dinner afterwards. The final round was done and over with. The top cut was played out. They received their prizes. The paperwork was filled out for Canadian National Championships invites. I received my payment and my judge compensation. I asked my friends to get me McDonald's and drive me home. Cheap food and a well earned nap. That concludes the worst event I've ever judged at.
The year was 2009. Jesse McCartney forgot the lyrics to the National Anthem…
damn hoes man
Me thinking Barbara slipped some cards into the guys hand to get his disqualified.
Thank you for this well told story! I hope your other tournaments were more peaceful!
Should be a rule, especially if theres money and prizes involved: if you have playable interest, you can’t judge
“Your pathetic deck”,
my deck contains no pathetic cards but it does contain 5 headed dragon.
He had the heart of the cards and pulled of a shining draw of super poly against a guy who deserved it 100% LOL.
The irony that he keeping a "Dragon Ruler" mat the opponent had on his side is all the more hilarious 😂
Riddick rules. You keep what you kill.
Koto won the tourney, his opponent playmat and one absolutely bonkers history to share, nice
The minute you said level 12 fusion just there for material I instantly thought "my god he picked Five God Dragon"
Yup I knew as soon as the ritual appeared that’s awesome

I can't believe this man was faced with a true yugioh anime moment, and he chose to rage... dude should have been happy to be part of something so iconic lol
Makoto having the Ultimate Luck topdecking Super Poly, truly a Makoto Naegi moment.

That was absolutely wild, from the perfect super poly to the punch.
The punch was the funniest it don't happen much to judges. Nice 😂
Thats straight up a Anime scene
Draw the out when they are on losing position and having a perfect extra deck in specific scenario
I heard that it was a random fusion card and thought immediately “how cool would it be to ritual away 5 headed dragon” and then realized “he’s running 5 headed” while loosing my mind. If that happened to me I would laugh so hard and be impressed
I see everyone's talking about how Makoto basically got an anime protag scene but no one's realised it goes even further than the standard "bullshit hyper-specific topdeck to overturn an unwinnable situation" - how many times in the anime do we see characters conveniently forget about specific cards in their deck (or even better its entire contents) until it conveniently ends up bailing them out?
It literally reminded me of how, despite desperately staring at his hand during the entire duel with Ishizu, Kaiba didn't acknowledge the Blue-Eyes in his hand _even once..._ until it insulated him from losing.
"Who runs that as a super poly target?"
"Well not me, I use it for something else"
It is my absolute favorite thing when you have a play that is totally possible but you never play it until that 1 time when it saves you when nothing else could
He was like an enemy in a RPG, he was defeated and dropped some loot (the playmat)
Five Headed Dragon as a Super Poly target. That's probably one of the most Protagonist moments I've seen.
100% Yugi, Jaiden, Yusei, Yuma, Yuya and Yusaku (I’ve only watched up to VRAINS) would be proud
The icing on the top if that mat he got to keep from the guy who ran.
Not only did he fuse his dragons into 5-headed dragon, but he got a prize from it; like the mat itself rejected its original owner and came to him; granted there's only 4 dragons instead of 5 but it's close enough. Probably one of the most anime moments to happen in the card game in real life! :D
"He just needed a random lv12 monster"
>playing against dragon link
... oh god, he's gonna show him what a -snake- lizard pit looks like...
"I murdered my father.. So.. whatre ya in for?"
"Uh, childrens card games?.."
That Five-Headed Dragon really came in clutch XD
Same energy as when I was a Gym Leader in the pre-Rocket Pokemon League. "Who the fuck plays Gambler?!" "I do. Heads."
People were so used to discarding their entire hand to draw 7 with Oak that they never considered you can shuffle your hand back into your deck and draw 8.
"1, 2, 3, 4, OH MY GOSH!! This is gonna work!" That has to be the greatest of the greatest of Heart of the Cards moments ever!!!! And for a freaking 16 year old to pull that off too? This hero HAD to have felt at least a little smug when doing that. Like.... It's REQUIRED. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Good job to this story's hero. If I saw that Super Poly, I would just smile and say, "Well, ya got me. You're the champion now." And I'd just let my opponent play it out because it's just way too fun to lose to that. Ya gotta let 'em play it out and see the huge smile on their face as they defeat you. It's too good.

This might be my favorite episode I'm at work and when he said "All of Them" I was like "It's 5-Headed Dragon" and when you said 5 headed Dragon I jumped out of my chair dying of laughter holy crap what a play.😂😂😂
The "and fuck you too" part, absolutely floored me, this is probably the best story time yet 👌👌
As soon as Super Poly was drawn , I knew it was gonna be 5 Head, but I still smiled with joy when it was finally revealed! Awesome idea for such a super specific match-up. GGs Makoto. Nice playmat!
Imagine having to explain to other prisoners you’re in for punching someone over a TCG.
This story made me unfathomably excited/happy. I love five headed dragon. Way back in the day I had a really crappy random dragon pile deck of a bunch of cards I liked. I only ever got to fuse that bad boy once, but you best believe he was in my extra deck. From the moment you said “super poly” I was just going to “please be five headed dragon” over and over.
First time i went to locals i was about 12, this was back in 2014 before pendulums. I remember dark world being the biggest deck at the time and i was running an extremely cheeky kuriboh stall deck. 60 cards, all littered with stall and burn. I ended up going 1-1 by the and of round 2 which isnt too bad. I started game 1 with an amazing hand, a couple flute of summoning kuribohs, a couple really powerfull stall traps, transendent wings and chaos sorcerer. I started by gettong my kuribohs on the field as fodder for my sorcerer and passed. He managed to get 3 really powerful cards out first i let him destroy both of my monsters an and ended up using mirror force against his last one, him having no way to react he used book of moon on his strongest card he had out to stop it from being destroyed. A Needless to say next turn i had enough fodder in my hands to use transendent wings. I managed to get my chaos sorcerer and a winged kuriboh out with 2 cards left in my hand. thanks to a removing from play his most powerful monster he had out and having my field set up i was ready for what he threw at me, he managed to get a 4000+ attack monster out and his 3000+ attack monster out he went to battle. I ended up using transendent wings and wiped his field and he lost over 6000 life point. He had 1 card left in his hand but he must have not had a good one. He started screaming and yelling saying that "this is bullshit" and litterally threw a chair across yhe room. He got kicked out, i was upset and scared at this grown ass man reacting like that, the shop owner gave me a free couple packs and i ended up coming tied 2nd with someone else.
Anyone wondering he was playing a dark world deck, it's been so long though I can't remember what monsters he got out. Think high level dark world monsters
@@RicoTheSadBoireign-beaux, perhaps? That's the only one I can think of with a high level and high enough attack.

As soon as dude said "Five Headed Dragon" I absolutely lost my s***

If he was running a nekroz dogmatika variant i would probably understand the inclusion of 5 headed dragon but given the time period that was the last thing i expected ngl
Man, I'd have loved to see the other guy's reaction to Albaz just hitting the field. Albaz just being like: "Hi! Say goodbye to all of your dragons! Yoink!" and then Albaz leaves and brings out one of his fusion Dragons. Even better since Albaz's effect doesn't target, which means most forms of negation/protection won't stop Albaz's effect.

Damn. And here I thought I had a solid story about a salty 30+ year old.
The guy ended up against me. He was playing full power Teledad at that time where it was at the top of the charts. I was playing Yubel. Which, at the time, was a bricky mess of a deck with no reliable win-con.
Somehow, I managed to 2-0 him by tanking ALL of his deck's destruction effects. Twice. Every time he'd blow up Yubel, I'd already have one or two ways to bring it back ready for another round.
The man was livid. But at least he didn't punch anyone. o_O
I wonder how the Teledad player feels about Yubel now that it's a meta deck. Would your younger self have believed Yubel would become meta?
@@evanchismark3092 Never in my life would I have imagined it. Heck, I only DREAMED it would get support, never actually expecting it to actually happen.

@@blazesona12 I got really lucky on that set. XD
A crazier match I had was against an Exodia deck. Managed to win by staling him out of options. Try figuring that one out. :p
Just goes to show that even bad decks have their day.
The moment I heard super poly, I was like, “if there’s five dragons, FGD is the perfect card for this”
It's moments like these that remind me why I love TCGs. Those perfect moments where something unexpected comes together and you get to do something completely unplanned and outrageous with the pieces you planned to use for something else entirely, because the stars aligned in the exact right way to make a board state you could never have predicted or even planned for... but there it is. The play.
Absolutely peak anime protagonist energy. I'd have been hard pressed not to do my best LittleKuriboh Pharaoh voice on that "All of them!", punctuated with the satisfying snap of the card onto the mat. Bliss. :)
Most of us had that happen in other situations, but you can't not be amazed, and find that hilarious. I couldn't even be mad
I have a short but sweet story from years ago. This was back when Konami recently released the tournament legal Winged Dragon of Ra card. There was a guy who had a copy in his deck and he really wanted to duel with it. He decided to challenge me and I accepted (while this was at a local tournament, it was just a casual duel). I ran an Amazoness deck back then. I don't remember all the minor details, just the big moment. The guy eventually managed to draw and summon Ra and used its effect to feed it all but 100 of his life points. While it was strong, it wasn't strong enough to knock me out after destroying one of my monsters. After he finishes his attack, it's my turn. I draw and the card I drew was Amazoness Swordswoman, who had the nasty effect of having any damage that I would take from Battles involving her be dealt to my opponent instead. I had an evil grin as I summoned Swordswoman and had her attack Ra. She was destroyed but my opponent took the damage, and he only had the 100 LP from using Ra's effect. He was shocked he lost the duel, while I was laughing like crazy from what I did. Easily my proudest moment in Yu-Gi-Oh. Even if it wasn't a tournament duel.
That punching aound ligitimently jumpscared me, i was listening to this in the background and it just spooked the heck out of me.
I would have laughed at seeing that five god dragon slam onto the field like "damn man you deserve that win I was not expecting that God draw."
Its not commonly known, but this story was adapted in the anime, and Makoto's opponent was designed as a parody of loud/angry sore losers: Bandit 'America!' Keith!
I know I'm not an 30s autistic yugioh player, but if someone dropped a super poly with 5-headed dragon on my ass I would still be laughing to this day because of how the absurdity
It's never about how much attack a monster has; it's about how much damage it can do.
I love when I'm playing against someone and they get a real "heart of the cards" moment. It's part of what makes the game so much fun, infuriating but fun
Thanks to this, I'll remember to side a 5 headed dragon in my side deck in case I ever run into a dragon player.
If somebody outed my board like that, I wouldn't even be mad, I would think it was hilarious 😂
"THATS JUST IT, NONE OF THEM WILL SURVIVE" type moment
Gonna be honest, Five-Headed Dragon should be run as a Super Poly target more often. It’s niche, but it comes in clutch.
Also, based Makoto for keeping the playmat.
I have been to tournaments where bullies were physically thrashed for throwing punches.
Super Poly into FGD is the best gag in the books.
Makoto when he remembered he had Five-Headed Dragon: Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
Ya know from over here it looks a bit like Five Headed--OH MY FUCK!!!
It was obviously his opponent's fault for not even playing around Super Polymerized Five-Headed Dragon.
My grandpa's deck has no pathetic cards... but it does contain - the unstoppable Super Polymerization!
as an oldschool player from gen 1, i'm SO happy that after having thought it was ultimate dragon the whole time, the moment he said all of them it instantly clicked and loom and i at the same time exclaimed FIVE HEADED DRAGON!
Some higher power out there was like "This old guy is trying to beat this kid? Naw, have the only out little man, and become the Yami Yugi you were always meant to be."
The moment I assumed Five God Dragon i thought to myself "Could he really be...?" And then when I heard it confirmed my only thought was "Holy BASED."
And this is why, whenever you need random cards in your extra deck, make sure they can under a niche circumstance be used. For example including a fusion lvl 12 instead of a synchro since you have super poly.
Ikr, since nowadays if I want to play a Nekroz/Dogmatika deck, I'd bring Luluwa or BEUD (if I'm crazy enough to play Magia) as extra fodders if there's no specific deck to counter

I got a story for your next video.
This is the Story of Magicalibra with the unfathomable Dark Magicians!
It was March 2022 I believe.. somewhere in there.
I was playing Dark Magician back when Predaplant Verte Anaconda was at 3.
I went to my locals and was playing a broken version of dark magician from the discord group chat that we discussed and had been training to use. I have other duels of it on my channel too. In the tournament I went 3-2. Round 3 began with me facing a skinny guy who seemed like he read a lot of books and was a shaggy haired skateboarder I guess? This was before the albaz structure deck came out with branded fusion so nobody had access to it. Round 3 began and I sat down at the table. We seemed to get along like brothers. We roll the dice, I won the dice roll, I chose to go first.
I had full combo immediately and did all my dark magic things and pulled out all my tricks from my magic hat.
I ended with a board of Eternal soul, Dark Magic Circle, set Super Poly, set Twin Twister, Verte Anaconda, and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, with 3 cards in hand because I was able to banish Soul servant to draw 2 cards all in turn 1.
My opponent is playing the despia Albaz deck before the branded structure deck.. and realizes he can’t beat my board..
“on to game 2” he says…
Game 2 begins and he goes first.
It’s is very important that I note: in my version of the Dark Magician Deck at the time I played NO Hand Traps.. it was all GAS no BRAKES!
He goes first. He does his whole combo with of course no interruptions from me.
He ends with a board of 2 Masquerade The Blazing Dragon (they each make me pay 600 LP to activate ANYTHING), 1 Despian Quaeritis, and a set Infinite Impermanence, with an ash blossom in hand.
I never faced this before.. so I asked him to clarify.. and basically he said I would be burned 1200 LP for every card or effect “activation.”
So I sat and looked at my hand and saw I had full combo.. but did not know if I could full combo and survive that 1200 burn… i knew I needed to get rid of at least 1 of the Blazing dragons to even play…I started sweating.. over thinking.. contemplating.. and THEN!…
I said: Ah Screw it! All gas no brakes!!! Let’s goooooooooooo!!!
I started playing my hand with no care about the burn..
1200 LP here… 1200 there… and again… but then! I got rid of 1 of the Blazing dragons when I had 4400 LP left!
I don’t remember how I did it.. I may have done it by banishing it with DM Circle?..
At this point I it was time to keep playing! 600 LP here.. and there.. again.. and again.. AND AGAIN!!
For a while it went on burning me while combo’ing and my opponent kept asking: “can you win?” And all I could say was “I Don’t Know but I certainly will try!!”
I was able to set up my field with the previous field I mentioned before like in game 1 but this time instead of 2 set cards I had dragoon, Verte, Dark Magician, super poly in hand, and secrets of dark magic in hand, along with jester confit in hand (he is a free special summon SPELLCASTER type monster) and some other card in hand..
I use dragoon to pop his Blazing dragon and burn him for 2500 LP.
(Thinking: finally! No more burn!)
I use dragoon’s second pop on the despian fusion but he Quick Fused it into something that couldn’t be destroyed by card effects. So that was a dud.. and it was in attack mode with I think 2900 attack or something like that..
So I used secrets of dark magic in my hand to fuse Dark Magcian and the jester confit in my hand. Summoning “the dark magicians”. I attack his new monster with “the dark magicians” to destroy my monster and get Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl back onto my field. Attack with dragoon over his new monster. Dealing 100 LP
To keep track of LP for you.. he got me all the way down to:
200 LP in the VERY END of the duel.
as of right now I’ve dealt him 2500 LP and 100 LP.
I then attack directly with Dark Magician and DM Girl. That’s another 2500 LP and 2000 LP for a total of:
7100 LP.
He has 900 LP left and I have 200LP left…
And then everything kinda slowed down for a minute.. my opponent said:
“man that was close.. you almost had me! Okay.. so game 3?”
I simply replied with:
“No… this was the best game I’ve had in years my friend… but now it has to end… take care..”
A puzzled expression was on his face… he didn’t know what to think or what I meant…
As I slammed super poly down from my hand discarding the last card in my hand and fusing away my 2 magicians to make starving venom fusion dragon and attacking for Game!
Before actually attacking for game my opponent kept screaming:
Nooo wayyyyyyy and Whaaaaaaaaaat??!! In a dramatic way that was In shock and surprise (a good way)
I attacked and it was done! I went 2-0 against him! And he was stunned.. I was surprised, and by the time I looked up from the table.. everyone was watching our duel! It was awesome! And a moment I will NEVER forget!
I don’t know where that guy is today but let him know my handle on RUclips is Magicalibra and we had this duel at TBS COMICS in Pensecola, FL if you would please? I certainly would love to reconnect with him!
When Loom mentioned lvl 12 fusion monster in Koto's Extra Deck while he was showing Nekroz Kaleidoscope, I fucking knew which monster he was going to summon xD

*EMOTIONAL DAMAGE*
I got a kind of fun yugioh tourney story. I was at locals in 2018. I had a two loss one win under my belt and then the funniest yet weirdest thing happened in round 4. I was playing an all foil mash-up deck like usual and I know that’s not really a typical strategy but I like it and it works more often than you would think. The shop where locals was hosted was closing down soon so this was the next to last tournament. My opponent and I were in the far right corner for our duel which was nice cause the aggressive players were at the other end of the area. He was playing toons which I told him is one of my favorite archetypes and it turned out he felt the same. Always nice to meet a fellow fan of the game I told him. He said the same. We shook hands, introduced ourselves and started. Game one: I bricked a little hard but it was fine. Was the last round and I was a little worn out. He played toon table of contents. Got toon kingdom and played it. Got out red eyes toon and toon dark magician plus one back row. I drew for my turn and the only card I could really play was electromagnetic turtle. On his turn he got dimensional fissure if I remember right and I gave him game one. Game two went the opposite. Turned out he bricked really hard with only spells. I got a great hand and won on turn four. We were both laughing though cause we knew it was a tie but we were having fun. Third and final game was back and forth. For three turns each neither of us got monsters but on my fourth turn I finally got my inspector boarder. Only had one at the time. I got two attacks in and then he drew toon Gemini elf and equipped it with black pendant. Was the first hit to my life points but no worries. Then he played toon kingdom and ended his turn. I eventually won but felt a little bad about it. He had forgotten his toon kingdom could save his toon monsters. I reminded him after the duel. He had completely forgotten. We both just smiled and had a one game duel after the tournament. I was glad to not have just met someone who liked playing the game for fun but a fellow duelist who enjoyed just playing a fun card game. Was the last locals I’ve done in the past years due to more aggressive players going to the locals near me but it was definitely a fun way to end that locals! Also, in case this story of mine does get talked about in a video I go by my nickname Mike at locals.
Honestly if I was the opponent, I wouldn't have been mad. It'd just be one of those "that's unfortunate" moments for me.
imma be honest, I wouldnt even be mad if someone dropped god damned tiamat like that
LMAO AS SOON AS THEY DREW SUPER POLY I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE 5 HEADED DRAGON THAT'S AMAZINNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Sadly I cannot remember everything from this match in particular, but what I remember I wanna share. In 2007 I was playing a E-Hero Pile, which literally ran all Heros at least as a one-of. I was called the Hero-Guy just because I had a fusion deck bigger than my Main Deck, but thanks to that I normally would have a Fusion summonable everytime.
The Game which I clearly remember the winning turn had following game state.
My opponent was down to 1100 LPs had a Gravity Bind and a Messenger Of Peace up and would finish me off next turn with his next top deck - yes he played a Burn-Stun Deck.
I was able to burn his LP down thanks to Lady Heat, but thanks to his perfectly drawn removal I had to gamble on my next card I would draw. The card I got was one I totally forgot that I still had it in my build: Reinforcements of the Army.
My opponent smiled and was sure of is victory, since the only "low level" hero he knew I should run, since most Hero Decks at that time ran 1 Avian for Wild Wingman. But the moment I activated confident the rota and said: The game is over. He looked in my eyes and said: "No way... you are not running" I added Burstinatrix, which just to happened to be a Level 3 Monster with 1200 Atk - and was able to attack and reduce the remaining LPs to Zero.
It's sad that you only tell stories about YGO, since I would have "judge helped"-story for Cardfight Vanguard. It's a tale I love to tell and remember it by heart.
"Super poly..."
Me: 5-headed dragon??
"Only mudragon and starving venom..."
Me:Oh, no 5-headed dragon.
"Underneath, another card he forgot about..."
Me:5-headed dragon???
"Level 12 fusion..."
Me: holy shit it's 5-headed dragon!!!
5:06 Me: „No Five-Headed Dragon? I thought it was pretty common as a Kaleidoscope target“
5:58 😏
