I started in the very beginning, and quit after chaos/Yata lock (was probably the only 9 year old with the full deck ran at 60 cards of course, my parents didn't have a lot of money but LOVED eBay so they ask jeevesed what all the good singles were and found great deals on them. I was terrible w the deck but it was SO much fun) and got in around DUA format which I was instantly hooked on. I still shudder how I felt when this came out. BOSH as a pack was so big I can still remember the insane amount of cards that came from it. The deck filled me with disgust, but looking back, this is hilarious to watch now that the nightmare is over.
This video needs to have like 100,000 views. This is just too important for people to not see. Please share this video with your fellow duelists. This is probably the best deck in this games history.
5 cards to 13 first turn. With big beaters that have removal effs, multiple counter traps, scales to resummon everything next turn. Yet there are those idiots out there that go "Yugioh is just changing, it's for the better". Even if everyone played similar decks whoever went first would just most likely win.
This is the deck that could finally ruin it :/ the other ones weren't as bad, but this is just, a broken mechanic, full of broken cards. It's harder to fix a mechanic.
+I ship Fnatic don't forget the dracoslayers. They are the enablers of making a powerful board. I seriously hope to see a mass banning after 1 format of this. 2 at most. Will probably take a break when it hits TCG
Anyone else here after the 2020 Cross Banlist Cup? Yes, I know it's a different build, but I still want to see it against decks of it's time instead of modern.
Woooo I can't wait /s. I never saw these cards before a few days ago and decided to make a draco deck on DN. It was horribly built, yet I went + 4 first turn.
stratos? never... he isnt even once per turn, you could coth him and possibly search twice! thats just way too strong man!! just imagine, you could search a bubbleman and go for a rank 4 if you can empty your hand, game breaking stuff!!!!
.... HOLY SHIT. O_O; That beginning speech and... Traptrix Rafflesia isn't even NEEDED anymore?! How the hell did SHE get power creeped? This is legit one of the scariest decks I've EVER witnessed in action. You're right. It's just like Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy all over again. And we all thought THAT was ridiculous. There's power creep but then... I don't even KNOW what THIS is. It's like rape in a box or somethin'. Something SO horrible that you've only heard STORIES about it, ya know what I mean? And the fact that Traptrix Rafflesia, a semi-Rank 4 staple in a deck like this isn't even needed is just disgusting. Like... I would of thought she'd be a good fit in this deck just because of what the deck does already but... Ariadne and Flame Mascot are just... WUT? I mean, like I said I've messed with a build like this but THIS... THIS is insane! It makes Dragon Rulers look like COMPLETE sissies. XD And I DON'T know if that's a good thing. Should I be insanely scared or insanely in hysterics because of all this nonsense? And the thing is, people might blame Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer but... people didn't even CARE about him before all this stuff happened. I think at one time, we could of voted for him to be a Shonen JUMP Alpha Promo (This was before we ever knew that Performages was even a THING). Imagine how expensive he would of been at this time if he WAS chosen back then. I... I.... I.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
+Lithium2300 Ha ha ha! Not even "once per turn" but THAT'S still too much sometimes. "You can only use the effect of [corresponding card's name] once per turn" would be better. lol
+Lithium2300 I thought it WAS once per turn before this video, konami have to either ban or errata Ariadne or both of those cards because they are so broken it is beyond dumb and its breaking the game.
Ssjason will never return because of this kind of stuff. For me I'm ok. It may take awhile but the game will get better. It always does. Then it gets to a crazier level than it's ever been. Then it will more or less balance out. Repetitive cycle. Only thing is, now once the game cools down I still don't see it going back to a "plus 1 first turn kinda game".
The best thing of it is that it would be completely fine in the modern metagame but there are still cards banned or limited... And I know that Konami hates Pendulum but really that much?
i fell like nothing matter anymore so bring back infernitys, inzektors, judgement spellbooks, d-rulers, card destruction, djinn lock, tour guide, skill drain, everything that is a least strong enough to try to challenge that shit
+Fish Fosh Well, Monarchs and full power ba can hold their ground in the ocg, so depending on what konami does on the next banlist it might at least be a 2/3 deck format.
Chris Green Yugitubers hype up decks that aren't all that they're cracked up to be all of the time. This deck needs some very specific combo's to get going.
Dragonage2ftw lithium doesnt hype up decks that dont deserve it. he'll usually call out the decks that will become meta or not and even he seems very worried/reluctant this deck exists. plus azneyes went +8 on his first turn consistently with this deck and he's notoriously pretty bad.
goodness, Gracias, great balls of fire that is some off the wall brokeness, I had no idea mage and pals was so broken, I mean I knew it was broken but damn not this broken, JEEZ.
Is 3x Wizard that necessary? you can easily search it ,and you run out of performapals in your deck quick. Also, do you really need Master pendulum Dracoslayer? it kind of a dead/win more card. What about a third Ariadne? Also, since you don't run Veilers, do you even need MaxxC?
+Johnny Berton Because for some reason Konami thinks one-for-one searching effects that trigger on destruction are okay. And then they give us all these destruction outlets that themselves search cards, and managed to forget that it doesn't actually matter if a Pendulum monster is destroyed.
Iv been playing since 2001 and frabkly altho i find it awesomely broken there have been decks that do alot more. Its going to be a awesome format, enjoy boys and girls!
I do wonder though, would summon limiter be useful against this deck? If you don't remember, it's the field spell where if the player (Doesn't matter who) conducts their 3rd summon, it automatically becomes the end phase. I know great horn of Heavy is better, but do you think it could see some play in side decks? P.S. Time to start siding Great Horn of Heavens and Wavering Eyes :P
How about a match against Spellbook Judgments and/or Dragon Rulers? My money is on this deck taking the win against Dragons super easily, Judgment maybe because of Jogwen. How does it sound for the upcoming 20k subs? ;)
I think you have to run 3 Ariadne to make these combos more consistant, because if you dont open up with ariadne, you do not have that much options that can interrupt your opponent from otking you in the second turn. Especially against Mermail because most of the time, 1 notice or 1 Infinity is not enough, that means you have to draw into some of the countertraps.
+Yugiold In fact many do. This instant lose to wind up and prophecy. Seriously, try the deck for yourself and you'll see it's not even 1/4 as good as he makes it to be. Regular p&p is better. Also this comes at the same time as other pendulum decks so people will ahve outs such has wavering eyes and Go&sR in the main and side.
I don't know what is most broken, the performages, dracorivals, performapals or even Ariadne itself, it is just mind blowing how Konami kept the game stable (for the most part) for all these years and then suddenly decided to have broken shit come out every week. WELCOME TO THE PENDULUM ERA I GUESS.......
I think the problem with the current cards being made is that they don't have OPT effects. You can use as many Performapal Fire Guy and Ariadne, which can be abusable and IS one of the component reasons for Stratos' ban (aside keeping other cards on the list as long as it was off it) I see this upcoming format to be possibly the worst because it cuts out player interaction entirely. One is able to create a board that is essentially unbreakable due to the stupid amount of resources and versatility and utility all the cards have, as well as the powerful protection cards searched off of Ariadne. I'm not happy with what Konami is doing for this format. I've been playing yugioh since the game first started in the U.S. and I've been okay with all the changes, Synchro I more than welcomed because it gave your main deck the ability to use weaker monsters and use them as a pseudo-tribute summon to call out a synchro requiring a specific card, a tuner. Xyz was a lot like it but didn't have any requirements except for levels which is easy when someone can just throw in level 4s only and call it a day. I'm not saying I hate Xyz, I think the concept is great but too easily abused and not as well thought out as Synchro. Pendulum however. Having the ability to resurrect creatures infinitely with the exception of a few outs that are limited, mainly D Fissure and Macro Cosmos. Warning and Bottomless also work but again, limited. I dunno. I think the approach is terrible but the idea for Pendulum was fine. Having the extra deck not go above 15 would make it more balanced or the scales break after Pendulum summoning from the Extra would've been nice.
I think the only way we are really gonna fix things like this popping up in the future is something like a "You cannot special summon monsters on the first turn (or your first turn)". The once per turn problem has existed for a while and its really just the result of konami pushing more and more better archetypes to move product. The only real way to fix YGO's core issues would be something along the lines of a reboot
+The visitor101 This is how I felt! I have been in love with Counter Fairy decks since Day 1, and I thought that these new support cards were good..... but I never would have predicted this level of insanity! I thought I was semi-retiring from the game for a while again. Now I know that it is true...
Isn't 3 Clash of the dracorivals too much? Since you have 2 vector pendulums in the deck, 3rd clash is automatically not needed, and when you get 2 vector's out of the deck it's pretty much a dead card.
Hey quick question, could you do a match with this Deck but without using Wizard since we wont have in the TCG for quite sometime, it would be cool to see example duels with how the deck will run in january since we wont have Wizard for ages, haha
I believe it is crystal clear to Konami by now that this community's majority is driven by the factor of addiction, which this games has created over the years. It is so easy to understand now (since konami has followed this strategy for several years ) that giving a tremendous amount of new card pool every some months and new overwhelming support/releases is what creates this vicious cycle. We all know that since full power PePe will be a thing around January, by the time of the European championship it won't be such big of a deal and certainly won't be threatening by next autumn (same thing like nekroz pretty much). And why do we know it? Because it's bound to happen with this strategy and will happen over and over again. My point is that it's up to the players if this game is gonna change anytime soon. Look at games with limited card pool, or limited community (weiss-schwartz, buddyfight etc), such hype there is just nonexistent! If we could just take the initiative and quit until this game is ummm maybe less money-consuming or just more of a game that what it is now, maybe just maybe we could achieve something. But then again, Konami certainly depends on the game itself, afterall addictive habits are not easily thrown away.....
Whelp - I placed an order for 3x Droll & Lock Bird. I'm glad the folks at my locals build these kinds of decks, but usually save them for Regionals or assholes. Either way, I think I'm just gonna build an Anti-Pendulum deck now. I don't expect to win, but I didn't expect to win when entering this game with Ghostricks either. Being a nuisance is fun enough sometimes.
this is crazier than when infernity were still a thing... they had to limit infernity archfiend AND barrier just because of how easy it was to lock the opponent out of everything and have an out to everything... and they released fk-ing THIS
Looks really powerful, but at the end of the day all powerful decks ends touched by the banlist I think that Konami don't want hit the meta in a early banlist because Monarch, Magician and posibily PePe will come out soon. +Lithium2300 you will play Monarch with the new support for the next year or other deck?
I wasn't sure whether to rate this video with a thumbs up or thumbs down...j/k. Great content as always and probably one of the most important videos for Yugioh for a while.
I will build a Anti-Pendulum Deck, with Floodgates Overkill (Mistake smiles), Every Anti-Spell and Anti-Special Summon Card and a good Engine to kill ya Opponent :))
Only thing I didn't like was searching counter traps while creating that field. A single infinity+monsters+scales isnt hard to take care of but backed by triple notixe and shit.....
having triple (searchable) solemn notice in the game, as well as warning and the new horn card, while pendulums decks like these are becoming so prominent should warrant for heavy storm and cold wave to come back. A first turn cold wave would be able to freeze this deck down, giving you time to either establish a board, or push for game.
Thunder king at 3, put dracoslayer Notice and maybe even ariadne (nooo my lovely counter fairies) at 1 imo. Or maybe Errata the flame mascot and Ariadne effect. I don't know what else could stop this deck.
There is a card in the anime called no cheating orsomething and its eff is neg the ss from ur hand and its continues so if that card comes out it hinders the deck
I think you could've gone at least +1 more on the first replay if you would've used Luster Pendulum's effect on Ariadne before using Wavering Eyes, but I'm not sure.
It's funny how much this outclasses the old DUEA meta even without the hits...and connie, towers, and shurit still got banned. They're essentially saying you HAVE to play this, magicians, or monarchs (?) to have any chance. Not minding it since I'm making magician specter, but this is just brutal. Dragon rulers seem tame compared to this.
I think Sorcerer won't be coming to TCG, or it'll come too late when the deck did nothing. He is the core and heart of this strategy, without him we have to pray we got Wave or Dracoslayer for any kind of plus in ways that aren't re-usable like the constant treat of a Pendulum Summon of Sorcerer.
I have mixed feelings about this :| These combos are so...you know...I don't have any words for this...But I won't quit Yugioh just because the new cards make many "older" decks unplayable because they're not good/fast/strong/consistent enough. There's kind of a natural selection in Yugioh. I mean, you can't play Gladiator beasts these days, even though they were tier 0 when they were first released. But they still can defeat Goat Control, a very strong deck from 2005. I think we should come out of our comfort zones and give the new decks a chance. The more I think about it, the more I feel like Yugioh is build arround Darwins theory of evolution. "Adopt or perish", and I don't feel like perishing already.
+Babaroi It sure is a great strategy to make all your players adopt to a new paradigm they don't like or perish. Telling your customers to adopt or perish is not a very good business plan. Good job konami.
+Babaroi evolution is about natural selection, that was the core concept behind Darwin's theory these are artificially created cards for a card game made by and for humans. natural selection doesn't really apply, the phrase you're looking for is power creep.
Even though I like combo I'm throwing up in my mouth imagining Konami made a deck that synergized this well to consistently +10 to +13. What the actual hell was this?
You should make a guide about this deck bro. I love the commentary through the replays but it's just too fast. It's great for people who wanna play this deck or learn how to play against it
I started in the very beginning, and quit after chaos/Yata lock (was probably the only 9 year old with the full deck ran at 60 cards of course, my parents didn't have a lot of money but LOVED eBay so they ask jeevesed what all the good singles were and found great deals on them.

You were right lol
5 cards to 13 first turn. With big beaters that have removal effs, multiple counter traps, scales to resummon everything next turn. Yet there are those idiots out there that go "Yugioh is just changing, it's for the better". Even if everyone played similar decks whoever went first would just most likely win.
Sadly i agree with you... What a shame :(
this game is trash now. in the future if you don't play monarchs or this deck you're gonna lose.
This is the deck that could finally ruin it :/ the other ones weren't as bad, but this is just, a broken mechanic, full of broken cards. It's harder to fix a mechanic.
+User52 Actually it might be fixed by banning the broken cards(Wizard, Mascot, Ariadne). Don't blame it all on pendulum
+I ship Fnatic don't forget the dracoslayers. They are the enablers of making a powerful board. I seriously hope to see a mass banning after 1 format of this. 2 at most. Will probably take a break when it hits TCG
This video still lives rent free in my head.
Dust off your droll and lock birds guys. It's that type of format again.
Daaamn the algorithm brought me back to this video. This deck was so unfair but i liked it lol
You know when Lithium opens with "I've played ever since the beginning of this game...." that it's about to go down.
This is what i show people to introduce them into modern yugioh.
lmao XD
5 years later, and we have Ishizu Tearlaments. 🥲
5:50 those are some famous last words
Jesus, the number of broken cards in this deck, looking at a hand, you see so many banned/limited cards
Not actually as bad as some D rulers decks when it comes to sheer number of banned cards
No words can describe what I'm feeling watching these combos.
Even looking back at this now, it still seems broken.
How about doing a full powered dragon ruler deck vs this deck as a video idea Lithium?
+Ill Billy Incoming 20k special =)
Lithium2300 i find spellbooks to be the better deck. Maybe give both those legendary decks a shot at this one and see which comes out on top if any
+Lithium2300 can't wait!!
At that point, it is literally a dice roll battle. Like whatever deck goes first basically has a 95% chance of winning.
+Ill Billy GlasgowYGO did it :)
Anyone else here after the 2020 Cross Banlist Cup?
Yes, I know it's a different build, but I still want to see it against decks of it's time instead of modern.
Woooo I can't wait /s. I never saw these cards before a few days ago and decided to make a draco deck on DN. It was horribly built, yet I went + 4 first turn.
... but we better keep Stratos, TIV and TER banned, they would definetly break the game ;)
stratos? never...
he isnt even once per turn, you could coth him and possibly search twice!
thats just way too strong man!!
just imagine, you could search a bubbleman and go for a rank 4 if you can empty your hand,
game breaking stuff!!!!
+BontgomoryMurns i know, right? Or possibly even, you know, destroy 2 backrow cards? Man, glad we dont have to deal with such broken shit anymore.
I know TER but what is the other one ?
This comment didnt age well

+YuseiTheSynchroHero The funny thing is that it can all be much better if Konami added "once per turn" to Ariadne/Mascot... =)
+Lithium2300 Ha ha ha! Not even "once per turn" but THAT'S still too much sometimes. "You can only use the effect of [corresponding card's name] once per turn" would be better. lol

I think this is the kind of situation that warrants an emergency banlist...This is just insane.
+Fish Fosh I know Konami did that before, so I wouldn't be surprised, but this is retarded!
+Fish Fosh Well, Monarchs and full power ba can hold their ground in the ocg, so depending on what konami does on the next banlist it might at least be a 2/3 deck format.
Agreed. This deck will be tier 0 otherwise.
yeah i dont blame anyone who says they're quitting now
+Chris Green The deck might not even be that good, man.

Chris Green Yeah, but people can make mistakes.
dragon rulers/spellbooks vs. this
that would be so cool. Lithium could you please do such a thing?
Congrats on 21k,you deserve it!Now for the special 21k duel you could put Judgment Spellbooks vs PePe,i'd love to see that.

Is 3x Wizard that necessary? you can easily search it ,and you run out of performapals in your deck quick. Also, do you really need Master pendulum Dracoslayer? it kind of a dead/win more card. What about a third Ariadne? Also, since you don't run Veilers, do you even need MaxxC?
And Stratos is banned...yeah.
+1 too stronk..........+10 not too stronk
*sees deck name* PepeDraco... best name ever for this deck!
I don't understand, how did ariadne get its search when it was sent from the pendulum zone to the extra? I thought only its pendulum eff got applied
Pendulum Zone is still the field.And It says destroyed.So even If you Crush Carded It when It was in the deck It would still trigger and search.
5:15 almost made me cry
kinda like Infernitys right?
How good do you think, splashing the new fairy pendulum in a Pendulum Magician?
That was horrible.....why the hell ariadne and flame mascot are not once per turn?!
+Johnny Berton This deck wouldn't be a huge threat if their effects were once per turn
+Johnny Berton Because for some reason Konami thinks one-for-one searching effects that trigger on destruction are okay.
And then they give us all these destruction outlets that themselves search cards, and managed to forget that it doesn't actually matter if a Pendulum monster is destroyed.

It's crazy how this deck is STILL incredibly broken even by modern standards. No way does Swordsoul beat this
Play this deck against the winner of your Cross Banlist Cup - I don't think any of those decks stand a chance.
+Yugiold In fact many do.
This instant lose to wind up and prophecy.
Seriously, try the deck for yourself and you'll see it's not even 1/4 as good as he makes it to be.
Regular p&p is better. Also this comes at the same time as other pendulum decks so people will ahve outs such has wavering eyes and Go&sR in the main and side.
And against full-force Nekroz, RejuRulers and JudgementSpellbooks :)
+Ramza Beoulves played the right way this deck it's far better than the previous ones. Being overpowered doesn't mean that it is easy to play

+Creator Number 1 Nah, I'd rather draw all 5 pieces of Exodia in my opening hand.
Wow... I am speechless. Making Perfomages & pals THIS good is beyond trolling, serious Konami stop it. Once again, great video Lithium. Thanks
I don't know what is most broken, the performages, dracorivals, performapals or even Ariadne itself, it is just mind blowing how Konami kept the game stable (for the most part) for all these years and then suddenly decided to have broken shit come out every week.

+Bullpup Shotty This deck might not even be that good.
Don't overeact, bruh.
+Dragonage2ftw hey where did you find that weed. Can I have some ?
Dragonage2ftw Only way it wont be relevant or atleast less relevant is if more broken cards come out in the following set...
The visitor101 There have been a lot of decks that seemed good that have turned out to be utter crap, man.
+The visitor101 pendulum wizard wont be on the tcg for a while so that ruins the performapal engine.
Evilswarm Exciton Knight will be banned in TCG starting November 9. What card would you suggest we use in place of it?
+CheesyMallets Black Rose Dragon is the closest thing, but it has no defense and requires "tuners," something rarely seen nowadays.
This is still funny to watch
I think the problem with the current cards being made is that they don't have OPT effects. You can use as many Performapal Fire Guy and Ariadne, which can be abusable and IS one of the component reasons for Stratos' ban (aside keeping other cards on the list as long as it was off it)

I dunno. I think the approach is terrible but the idea for Pendulum was fine. Having the extra deck not go above 15 would make it more balanced or the scales break after Pendulum summoning from the Extra would've been nice.
I think the only way we are really gonna fix things like this popping up in the future is something like a "You cannot special summon monsters on the first turn (or your first turn)". The once per turn problem has existed for a while and its really just the result of konami pushing more and more better archetypes to move product. The only real way to fix YGO's core issues would be something along the lines of a reboot
Cancer format inbound.
+Ben Wainwright (Zaitei) You said it man :P
I almost cried watching this, Ariadne is.... no words...
You know you’ve broken the game when you can unban Raigeki and it just barely slows people down.
+Bullpup Shotty yes counter fairy support they said, they needed this THEY said, KOONAMI IS FINALLY DOING SOMETHING RIGHT THEY SAID !!!!
+The visitor101 This is how I felt! I have been in love with Counter Fairy decks since Day 1, and I thought that these new support cards were good..... but I never would have predicted this level of insanity!
I thought I was semi-retiring from the game for a while again. Now I know that it is true...
Isn't 3 Clash of the dracorivals too much? Since you have 2 vector pendulums in the deck, 3rd clash is automatically not needed, and when you get 2 vector's out of the deck it's pretty much a dead card.
+pWneRSRB 3 because it tutors your Luster Pendulum.
+pWneRSRB Do you really think a Duel can last more than 3 turns in this format?
Hey Lithium, could you make a video using PePe without Damage Juggler and Plushfire? Really curious to see how the deck fares with those two banned.
Well it seems the answer was that it fared pretty well lol
I think it's funny how this deck was teir 0, was a thing for a month and now half the cards are now banned or got in some way lol
Wow Lithium, you're an evil genius.
The deck got so good to the point when you dont need rafflessia...that's ridiculous...
What anime is ur pic?
Tbh revisiting this video now. Its sad that exciton and construct are gone.
Hey quick question, could you do a match with this Deck but without using Wizard since we wont have in the TCG for quite sometime, it would be cool to see example duels with how the deck will run in january since we wont have Wizard for ages, haha
yea guys how would adding in 3 shadow mists, x2 rots and masks change fit into it for the mirror?
I believe it is crystal clear to Konami by now that this community's majority is driven by the factor of addiction, which this games has created over the years. It is so easy to understand now (since konami has followed this strategy for several years ) that giving a tremendous amount of new card pool every some months and new overwhelming support/releases is what creates this vicious cycle. We all know that since full power PePe will be a thing around January, by the time of the European championship it won't be such big of a deal and certainly won't be threatening by next autumn (same thing like nekroz pretty much). And why do we know it? Because it's bound to happen with this strategy and will happen over and over again. My point is that it's up to the players if this game is gonna change anytime soon. Look at games with limited card pool, or limited community (weiss-schwartz, buddyfight etc), such hype there is just nonexistent! If we could just take the initiative and quit until this game is ummm maybe less money-consuming or just more of a game that what it is now, maybe just maybe we could achieve something. But then again, Konami certainly depends on the game itself, afterall addictive habits are not easily thrown away.....
damm lithium2300 u scared the shit out of me with that speech at the begining of the video...thought you were going to give up on ygo ;-;
+The_ Last_Human Haha, no no definitely not ;D
+The_ Last_Human Considering what is gonna go down, we all might as well...

Whelp - I placed an order for 3x Droll & Lock Bird. I'm glad the folks at my locals build these kinds of decks, but usually save them for Regionals or assholes. Either way, I think I'm just gonna build an Anti-Pendulum deck now. I don't expect to win, but I didn't expect to win when entering this game with Ghostricks either. Being a nuisance is fun enough sometimes.
this is crazier than when infernity were still a thing... they had to limit infernity archfiend AND barrier just because of how easy it was to lock the opponent out of everything and have an out to everything... and they released fk-ing THIS
This is my build with Bountiful Artemis and cutting the mages out.

Just a different variant! I'd like to see what you think.
+Creator Number 1 I respect that, it's not as good, it's still fun.
Looks really powerful, but at the end of the day all powerful decks ends touched by the banlist
I think that Konami don't want hit the meta in a early banlist because Monarch, Magician and posibily PePe will come out soon.
+Lithium2300 you will play Monarch with the new support for the next year or other deck?
+Freddx L. ofcourse =)
+Lithium2300 you know...you have to get a t32 spot at a ycs in this case ! ;p
Why does Konami still forgets to write "You can only use this effect of "..." once per turn." on some cards?
I wasn't sure whether to rate this video with a thumbs up or thumbs down...j/k. Great content as always and probably one of the most important videos for Yugioh for a while.
what happens if they just never release wizard?
this deck needs several bans, wizard is one of those, with 1 mascot/ariadne you can still going for +2 plusses with dracoslayer/wavering
Droll and lock Bird to stop this madness
+Alex Denia ツ [Hago vídeos Mierder] thanks god i have 2 xD
+Alex Denia ツ [Hago vídeos Mierder] Oh no... don't tell us that we have to play THAT stupid card again. XD
***** i think so ://
I will build a Anti-Pendulum Deck, with Floodgates Overkill (Mistake smiles), Every Anti-Spell and Anti-Special Summon Card and a good Engine to kill ya Opponent :))
And where is a Qli-Tower Out in this Deck???
When rafflesia is already pushed out then we have a scary format
Now that Konami's marketing these buggers? Heavy's NEVER coming back...
In wich Set will they come?
So no hand trap in main? Is that safe?
This deck is already banned
What do you mean?
+Ill Billy He means it's so broken it's probably gonna get hit fast.
+Ill Billy Ptolemaeus is banned in the OCG
Team Xenon that isnt enough...
+lll Billy the deck is too good and makes the game unhealthy!So in about 7 months konami gonna hit it in the nuts
Only thing I didn't like was searching counter traps while creating that field. A single infinity+monsters+scales isnt hard to take care of but backed by triple notixe and shit.....
having triple (searchable) solemn notice in the game, as well as warning and the new horn card, while pendulums decks like these are becoming so prominent should warrant for heavy storm and cold wave to come back. A first turn cold wave would be able to freeze this deck down, giving you time to either establish a board, or push for game.
+The Tempest Hell no.
The deck might not even be that good, man.
Thunder king at 3, put dracoslayer Notice and maybe even ariadne (nooo my lovely counter fairies) at 1 imo.
Or maybe Errata the flame mascot and Ariadne effect.
I don't know what else could stop this deck.
There is a card in the anime called no cheating orsomething and its eff is neg the ss from ur hand and its continues so if that card comes out it hinders the deck
+mrjuniornl l oh I remember it. But I think they won't bring out any of Chojiros Cards :/
+mrjuniornl l It only works while you control "Cardian" monsters, and even if they would be released, they're bad af
Babaroi oh that sucks maybe they can change it
we watch you from tunisia
+hamoudi gamer Awesome =)
thanks men we doit big group in tunisia and we watching you because you awesome
5:24 that mermail player had a perfect hand. He couldn't do anything...
I think you could've gone at least +1 more on the first replay if you would've used Luster Pendulum's effect on Ariadne before using Wavering Eyes, but I'm not sure.
This is like the new Infernity, but with way more consitency.
It's funny how much this outclasses the old DUEA meta even without the hits...and connie, towers, and shurit still got banned. They're essentially saying you HAVE to play this, magicians, or monarchs (?) to have any chance. Not minding it since I'm making magician specter, but this is just brutal. Dragon rulers seem tame compared to this.
2021 be like… Nibiru?
Holy shit, this is madness.
I think Sorcerer won't be coming to TCG, or it'll come too late when the deck did nothing. He is the core and heart of this strategy, without him we have to pray we got Wave or Dracoslayer for any kind of plus in ways that aren't re-usable like the constant treat of a Pendulum Summon of Sorcerer.
Performagepals vs Dragon Rulers(2013) best of 5. Has to happen. Best decks of Yu-Gi-Oh?
I have mixed feelings about this :| These combos are so...you know...I don't have any words for this...But I won't quit Yugioh just because the new cards make many "older" decks unplayable because they're not good/fast/strong/consistent enough. There's kind of a natural selection in Yugioh. I mean, you can't play Gladiator beasts these days, even though they were tier 0 when they were first released. But they still can defeat Goat Control, a very strong deck from 2005. I think we should come out of our comfort zones and give the new decks a chance. The more I think about it, the more I feel like Yugioh is build arround Darwins theory of evolution. "Adopt or perish", and I don't feel like perishing already.
+Babaroi It sure is a great strategy to make all your players adopt to a new paradigm they don't like or perish. Telling your customers to adopt or perish is not a very good business plan. Good job konami.
+dannyv233 exactly it's either you play this deck or monarchs or you'll lose. what kinda game is that?!
The game is gonna be shit. Just because Konami don't think before cards creation. This deck is just insane.
+Babaroi evolution is about natural selection, that was the core concept behind Darwin's theory
these are artificially created cards for a card game made by and for humans.
natural selection doesn't really apply, the phrase you're looking for is power creep.
+Jonas B I hope so.
Even though I like combo I'm throwing up in my mouth imagining Konami made a deck that synergized this well to consistently +10 to +13. What the actual hell was this?
Why is Skullcrobat Joker (a NORMAL summon-search) such a big deal, while Secondonkey (a SUMMON-search) isn't even acknowledged?
deck list would be nice
thunder of ruler+ new horn means no turn for opp
Why not 3 Wavering Eyes? It helps your deck with your combos and if your opponent also runs a Pendulum Deck it can pretty much end the game.
+theo konstantellos Yeah, wavering eyes is too good to not run 3.
lithium, you should have this be the next challenger appears for the current cross ban list cup.
I think there gonna give up back heavy to fight back row ... we need it now
+Damon Jackson Fuck no.
The deck might not even be that good, man.
Lithium before link format is funny... He doesn't know what is coming to ygo yet hahaha
The Shenanigans...The Absolute Shenanigans
You should make a guide about this deck bro. I love the commentary through the replays but it's just too fast. It's great for people who wanna play this deck or learn how to play against it
