For anyone who wants to play more optimized versions, the unchained engine is broken in this deck, you only need yama and rage in the extra and escape, sharvara in main to give you more options and more opportunities to destroy your yubel, more floating monsters and interaction with your opponent. In md some people also started playing spright cards for even more extenders and spell/trap negates with carrot because this deck is very good to interact with monsters, but spell/traps can mess you up.
Spirit of Yubel is insane, being able to material in the grave and no hard OPT is broken card design. Loved the episode! Good to get some ideas on how the deck plays and how to counter it - honestly no one does deck breakdowns as well as you do and always love the content In terms of what else I’d like to see, while I have no specific deck, it’d be cool to see something of a follow up to your ladder climbs for decks that have gotten new support since then (assuming you aren’t planning to do a ladder climb with them) - something like Labyrinth or Ghoti - just to see what new ideas you have, or how a deck has evolved since you last played it
im gonna be honest..the opening alone mad me laugh for like 20 seconds im not gonna lie XD joe be like "FUCK IT i dont know what to do! so lets do that)
Joe I’m sure you’ve probably learned but now by the reason you use Chaos Angel is that making Phantom of Yubel is not once per turn and super easy to get a second one out in the normal combo line so you have it for its effect on opponents next turn. And it only takes one Phantom and any of your numerous and easy to summon level 1s to make, the cost is very minimal since you can recur very easily. Great video watching it live has had me add Ultimate Nightmare to my decklist on the off chance I can get the timing on terror incarnate and get a super strong body on board.
I remember playing against this in the GX theme tournament on the discord and Unending Nightmare completely ruins them. Probably could have gotten to the finals if not for some bricking and one dude who played out of his mind with sacred beasts!
I WISHED spirit of Yubel searched the field spell, but alas it can't, and it's so annoying. Nightmare pain also reflect damage when YOU attack with your yubels, so you don't have to wait for the opponent to atack them. Loving Defender is funny, i once summoned it against a low LP dinomorphia player, unfortunately they didn't have the trap that prevents effect damage in the GY yet, so i won with the burn damage. Also that first AI duel, the moment i saw that hand and Joe talk about the AI having maxx C and Ash i just knew Ash was going to ruin Joe's day because he didn't summon Phantom first before activating Spirit gates lmao. Phantom also serves another function which is due to the way it's summoning work, you can use it to get rid of bricks in your hand, which all yubels are, well except for maybe spirit of yubel i guess. Also proper yubel combos are 2 cards combos, with Dark beconing beast + field spell or Samsara for a board of Apollusa + Phantom + unchained soul of rage + Escape of the Unchained + whatever you can get on the field like samsara for example.
I'm so glad that a lot of these older cards are getting good legacy support that can make them into both a very splashable engine and a very strong deck that is also incredibly flexible in what you can mesh with them
As a person who has been hyped for Yubel since its initial support in phantom nightmare and really started playing the deck when it was rogue after Nightmare throne and Varudras dropped in Lede months before Phantom busted the deck wide open it’s a blast to play. You have several win conditions in the deck, you can focus more on xyz, super poly with fusions, or link monsters. The link build is the definitive best one after fiendsmith dropped but it has some fun deck building options without that engine. I like that you always have a backup win condition in just doing the reverse OTK, but you don’t need it to win unlike Mikanko. Getting to play some other fiend support like the dark beckoning beast and Gates, or unchained in the deck is neat. My only criticism of the deck itself is Phantom is way too good for a contact fusion, card really should have had a hard once per turn on its summon so it can’t be used as extra link material. Everything else it has feels very “fair”. The deck also gets very complicated during its combos into any form of interaction from your opponent because of the way lotus works as an ignition effect, popping Spirit of Yubel isn’t a once per turn summon effect, and making sure you balance your Yubel and terror incarnate end phase triggers to not lose everything.
Taken from the official rulings detailing situations such as a Mikanko equipped with Double-Edged Sword, for multiple different effects that modify battle damage, you apply them in the following order: 01: This card inflicts double battle damage. 02: Battle damage is taken by both players. 03: Battle damage you take is also inflicted to your opponent / your opponent takes any battle damage you would take instead. 04: Battle damage is treated as effect damage. 05: The player gains Life Points instead of taking battle damage. 06: Battle damage becomes 0. 07: Battle damage is halved. 08: Battle damage is doubled. 09: Battle damage becomes X (X being a predetermined value). 10: You do not take battle damage if it is more or less than X. In the case of nightmare throne, it is applied at 03, before the battle damage would become 0 at step 06, which is why it takes precedent. Also, in the case you're playing some terrifying Yubel vs Mikanko battle or something, any instance damage can only be reflected once, so in that weird situation both players would take whatever damage the other would normally take (although yubel would shrink the received damage to 0 afterwards anyway).
I love seeing that Konami can make playable anime archetypes, and this one doesn't even depend on floodgates... Also it is interesting that this is very affordable in MD compared to arguably less powerful archetypes such as Voiceless Voice. It's interesting how people expected to see Superpoly becoming popular with this deck, but I don't think I have seen many competitive Yubel decks with that card.
i remember when i tried to make yubel work like years ago using stuff like the fieldspell that forces attacks and there is a continuous spell which gives both players a token every turn to give monster that can attack. man was it shit but now that you just get 19 yubels with only positive effects and a continuous that allows battle damage it's kinda uninteresting. i really like trying to make bad things that are uniq and not so bad its impossibly to make somehow functional. also what wehre they thinking with stage 2. like the entire gimmick is the opponent must attack you so in what world is it a good effect to dark hole every turn to make sure they don't have anything to attack
I play the golem and try to summon it on my first turn so that when my opponent starts theirs, they can’t use imperm, evenly, or lightning storm since all those cards requires an empty board to be used more interactively
46:16 it is good insofar as it gets rid of their continuous spell upon activation, so they lose both the protection and the set of Fire King Island from deck AND the option to XYZ on your turn. Beyond that yeah, not that good.
This decks good builds have Joes least favourite thing, cards at 2 copies lol. 2 grave squirmier and 2 nightmare pain are very common given they are okay to open, good to search, and you want the second copies for the grind game turn 3+ to kill. The deck is too tight to run them at 3 though in most builds.
Am I the only one that thinks yubel isn’t great? My generaiders icejades and plunder patroll just crush it lol The only scary thing they have is super poly
If nothing else, Mr. Hardleg, you will be remembered as the absolute king of intros among YuGi-tubers.
TeamSam doesn’t exist?
Nah that Mtg

I play a pretty wild mix up.
Ursarctic Yubel Centur-Ion.
I call it “Ursa Yubel-Ion”
Crazy plays
Watching this before locals so I get slightly less shitstomped by Yubel
Edit: went 1/1 vs Yubel, thanks Hardleg
I remember pulling Yubel from Phantom Darkness packs and instantly wanting to build a deck with it.
You're in luck, yubel's great now
Oh yeah same for me. Played it with friends too :’) I cant wait for it to be non-meta again so i can play the deck !

lol "Yubel's meteorite"
That's Yubel keeping Jaden in her wings.
Yubel the ultimate simp
Yubel? You-bet!
Look, I tried, okay?! 😅
Honestly helped me understand Yubel a bit more.

I'd love to see a Hardleg ladder climb with Yubel.
There's a chance people vote for it, it's very anime and the wincon in funny.
i think all the new support is really cool, except the contact fusion monster, that can go to hell and stay there for how annoying it is
You know you love her lol
yubel yes, phantom no
I only just noticed that the artwork for eternal favourite shes suffocating/hugging Jaden
Neat

38:16 muck-ray-ker, not muckwracker A muckraker is someone that digs up dirt on people.
I know :)
These new yubel supports are literal custom cards !
Even the wording on these cards sound like custom cards
i value you as a creator, that is why ill get emotional. you are great. we just dish align on a few things

bro forgot about the calculator. you have multiple lv 10+
Now we're cooking
Mr. Konami, what were you thinking when you made the support for Yubel? Mr. Konami: What if Mikanko, but GOOD?
Mikanko has always been good
Lets learn Yubel Right before it gets demolished by the bannlist
Evil eyes/ yubel= great results 😎
I wouldn't play with it but they made me do it.
honestly the main issues with yubel is ending games. running the unchain cards do let you play through evenly somewhat.
Now I see why people like to say first. Love your content, Joe!
I play a mix up deck of Yubel, Ursarctic and Centur-Ion.
I call it “Ursa Yubel-Ion”
Absolutely disgusting deck lemme tell ya
i hope you do a yubel ladder climb, i could see easily making something goofy to have fun with low ladder and working up to something meta
Perhaps someday? But at the moment it looks like Ghoti is next.
i remember when i tried to make yubel work like years ago using stuff like the fieldspell that forces attacks and there is a continuous spell which gives both players a token every turn to give monster that can attack. man was it shit but now that you just get 19 yubels with only positive effects and a continuous that allows battle damage it's kinda uninteresting. i really like trying to make bad things that are uniq and not so bad its impossibly to make somehow functional.
also what wehre they thinking with stage 2. like the entire gimmick is the opponent must attack you so in what world is it a good effect to dark hole every turn to make sure they don't have anything to attack
i wonder if with the new support, this deck can actually make neos wiseman now, that would be funny
I play the golem and try to summon it on my first turn so that when my opponent starts theirs, they can’t use imperm, evenly, or lightning storm since all those cards requires an empty board to be used more interactively
Oood luck drawing golem and grave guy and bricking.
@@trellyv8826 fair
I would like to see Solfachord at some point, whether on here or ladder climb!
Do goblin bikers next!!! You have to goblon the gabongas broo. In a bad-ass way
I have royal Nightmare Throne and Samsara D Lotus, got a full Yubel package, yet still doesn't know how they works lmao
LoL. the Nightmare throne has a glory hole😂😂😂😂😂 Supreme King is a naughty dog hahaha
If your dick is square either you should go see a doctor or your literally Steve from minecraft
46:16 it is good insofar as it gets rid of their continuous spell upon activation, so they lose both the protection and the set of Fire King Island from deck AND the option to XYZ on your turn. Beyond that yeah, not that good.
Reminder that Yubel's entire character arc is that she's a pissed off binary ex-girlfriend
