The best loss in yugioh that sent me the furthest was the YCS where two players shuffled their decks together by accident. Cannot imagine being a judge in that scenario.
it was finals, or semi-finals or something, so they had the konami sleeves on their decks. iirc it was a trickstar mirror so the decks just ended up getting shuffled together and neither player noticed until they drew a card from their opponents side board.@@HoneycombProductions
@@HoneycombProductions IIRC both players were playing BA and had the exact same sleeves, only difference in the decks were a few cards. I believe what happened was they shuffled each others cards but forgot to hand them back. They only realised when one of them had a card that wasnt in their deck
@@HoneycombProductionsOnly explanation I can give is somehow both players were running cards/decks that can steal from the opponent. Both moving quickly due to time only to forget to hand back the card they took.
Sometimes Yu-Gi-Oh players get so autopiloted with their deck of choice, they fall into a habit of taking shortcuts and forgetting what their cards actually say they do. Anyway, I once dealt exact lethal to myself with a Sunvine Sowing.
I'm surprised MBT didn't bring up... that duel in Master Duel. You know the one... the forbidden one with that 1 HERO duelist... with the strongest defensive hero.
i was at a regionals, in 2023, got exodiaed, she was playing runick fur hire, i attacked for game with avramax, and she goes tip, search golden droplett, fountail draw 3, and drew exodia, AAAAAAAAAAA she went top 36 in that event SHE SIDEBOARDED EXODIA
I’ve got a late entry to this, with something that I did at my Edison locals just this night: I spent all my resources pushing for lethal over a Blackwing Armor Master, completely forgetting that it negates battle damage. What makes this doubly embarrassing is that I was also playing Blackwings.
that bluey intro is a new level of top tier shoutout to dire for being in everyone's top three favorite editors with a name based around a removal/destruction card!
@@roberthorn9915 Diamond Dire Wolf I guess? Not sure if Dire's name is actually derived from Yugioh, but if it is, it would probably be from this Rank 4 staple.
Got a loss in the current master duel event because I forgot that lyrilusc recital starling doesn’t reflect the battle damage back like mikanko, but instead inflicts it to both players, so imagine my shock seeing the final blow animation play
Similar experience, I was playing with the Oogdoadic starter in between crafting the deck I wanted to make and my opponent was playing the same. Basically, I fired the alien trap card at the wrong time and he went Anata for game. Sadge.
I lost in the event to reptiles because I frogot Arsenal Falcon could attack multiple times. I had lethal, missed it, and the opponent summons Geh on me later on.
I had an embarrassing loss to Sacred Beasts because I got so into planning out my moves that I skipped over the "activate Lightning Storm to get rid of all that pesky backrow" step. And of course by the time I remembered, I already had cards on the field.
Here's a loss i'll never forget. Backstory is needed: Just getting back into YGO as a wee lad (2011-2013) when i was at locals having fun. I didnt know deck building and wanted to make a Dino deck so i made Jurrac. Guibas and Velos and Arleo and such. And then when Dino Rabbit was a thing and since i already had the core there and coincidentally pulled multiple Rescue Rabbits from packs, i was smooth sailing that format. I was in a Judgement of the Light pre-release event and got to round 3 of Losers and paired w/ an Exodia/Empty Jar player. At this point I have never seen Exodia as a deck, only in the anime. So I was basically going in blind. Its game three, turn 3 for me. They used Allure of Darkness and didn't draw a dark so they discarded their hand (no pieces tho). They have two set cards. I used Laggia already to negate Duality earlier so no mats. Nothing relevant on board or set because im a child and dont know the game. Draw MST and immediately use it on a backrow blind. Mirror Force. Awesome! I attack into Magical Library. Waboku. Mp2 i have a Beast King Barbaros and a monster reborn that i didnt want to use for some damn reason. I pass there. They draw, activate Reckless Greed, then use Hand Destruction after chain to then win after that. My biggest regret is not setting that Reborn. Because i didnt know Hand Destruction required both players to have 2 cards in hand. Super sad bois
I was playing Tri-brigade at locals the other day, i go first and set up a decent board. I activate revolt to summon 4 monster and link into Shuireg to banish 1 of their cards, and my opponent proceeds to 1) activate Nibiru on their own turn and give a token in attack position 2) activate tactics thrust to get triple tact 3) activate triple tact taking the token and otk me. I was at a loss for words
Kinda have that with a deck in MD, except whenever I get to choose I always pick the wrong one. “Okay, I’ll go first” get none of my combo cards or get imperm/LS/evenly-d. “Okay, I’ll go second this time” opponent goes full combo through every hand trap I have or sets up the 4+ negates or I get none of my board breaker cards. But whenever they chose, I have a much better chance either way. I don’t understand…
Man finally one that I had an answer for and I missed it. I was playing on a yugioh autosim shortly before the release of Master Duel. I queued up with a very crappy Yubel deck that basically had no interaction other than destruction. What does my opponent play but Flying Elephant- the card that becomes an alternate win con if your opponent tries to destroy it with a card effect. I actually held out for a while but eventually there was nothing else I could do and I joined Bandit Keith as one of the two people on Planet Earth to lose to the effect of Flying Elephant.
It wasn't me, but I had a duel where I used evenly matched and they popped a card to destroy my evenly match only for both of us to realized that this actually banishes the whole field. I have never seen that person again since that day.
That happened once to me, on one of the last matches I ever played on EDOpro before permanently switching to Duelingbook, they used the Swordsoul level 10 on my Evenly. Unfortunately still lost that game because the EDOpro RNG is complete rigged bullshit and I will die on that hill.
@@joanaguayoplanell4912 so is duelingbook better than omega? don't you have to do everything manually in duelingbook like send card to the gy and stuff?
Shoutout to all my homies who have set up nearly unbeatable monster infinite negate+interruption boards just to get double Lava Golemed or Dark Ruler + Even Matched.
There's a dude in locals that always always plays virtual World with some kind of variation, it's really funny to me cuz I'd never lossed to him, he wins the diceroll everytime but i always open dark ruler + evenly + robina, I always draw that exact hand when it's him, even on the Last regional LMAO poor guy he makes me draw the out for his board
My locals was having a crate tournament to celebrate the release of, of all sets, the Water Duelist Pack, and it turned into what can only be described as a mini regional. We had way more people than usual attending, and the tourney cost way more than usual to enter, so I was nervous - but I made it all the way to finals on my tried and true Earth Machine brew. I show up to finals expecting to face meta like I had for the last few rounds, only to come face to face with a Marincess player. I could tell he was a marincess player before game 1 thanks to his Marincess Mat, Sleeves, field center, and custom card case... I had never played against Marincess post their new support. Game 1 and two are over relatively quickly, but game 3 hits us with a double brick. I'm playing the shithouse that is Earth Machine, so it's no surprise from me, but I'd later find out my opponent opened 4 hand traps and battle ocean. We enter the mother of all top deck wars, trading combos that get cut short by handtraps for ages, when the judge calls five minutes left in round. My opponent is way up on me in terms of LP, but it's my turn, and I just drew combo. Let's game. I do my Earth Machine combo, which takes an eternity, and time is *this close* to being called. My opponent has about 3k LP on me, but I know that if I combo long enough, and if his hand doesn't contain *specifically Effect veiler* I can burn him to death...! But that's not what I do. He only has a single monster on field after all, sitting at a measly 3100 Attack. Why go through a long and involved xyz combo when I can just summon Ruinforce and beat over his guy for game? I enter the battle phase with a full board of 6, a Ruinforce, two Qliphort Geniuses, a Machina Fortress, a gearframe and a Citadel. I attack with Ruinforce over his measly link monster... And suddenly he starts digging in his graveyard. That was when I learned that Marincess is (or was at the time, anyway) the ONLY archetype in the game whose in-graveyard destruction protector can also protect against battle.
My worse lost was during my villain arc where I made a deck to get numeron dragon to over 16k in tag duels (tag duels have 16k) so I can otk. Had a melodious player magic cylinder me in style with the melodious attack drop combined with honest to reverse otk us for over 20k. I couldn't even be mad and I memed it on my channel.
Pretty sure the galaxy eyes player shouldn’t have lost, prime photon can only be used during damage calc, which is after you can activate magic cylinder, meaning he would’ve had to use it when prime photon was at 4k.
This was the finals at locals, and it was my opponent having an embarrassing loss against 'me' , he was on Floo, I was playing Ancient Warriors. He said he bricked, so he set 2 backrow and passed. I went second, normal summoned Sun Mou, and then proceeded to kill him. At the end of the game he flipped his backrow to show me how 'bad' his hand was. It was 2 judgment. For those not in the know, Ancient Warriors is an incredibly fragile deck, if you screw with my normal, I either lose, or pass turn on the spot.
what happens whe you lack a variety of deck knowledge. though I do wonder: is it like an ice barrier case where if you lack any initial board presence you can't get any effect to work, or does it matter for effects when they're normal summoned to start your plays? I know they're stronger when there's more than one, wondering if stopping the one normal is equally as viable as trying to keep more of them from sticking to the field.
@@KuroeNezumi Incredibly late, but. They have no on-summon effects (save for the link 2), but they do have their continuous spell that searches on-summon. If no player has a monster on board and your normal was negated, you just have to hope you opened with the one spell that specials from hand. They get effects (on the field) when you have other ancient warriors activate effects (on the field).
Came in second at locals because I miscalculated End Punisher attack gain, left my opponent with 100 lp, and I lost the following turn. Worst part is that I could have summoned Plague Spreader from GY for that last bit of lp, but I was confident that my guy was going to be big enough.
I had a recent one like this versus Branded, I thought I would be able to swing for game since they were also Masquerade burning me, but ended up 100 short exactly
The evenly battle phase thing happens all the time. You combo so long you forget you used it and then end on a board that OTKs when you have no battle phase left.
friend and i were doing a progression series thingy around like MRL he has a hungry burger face up and a set monster flips it up MOF mof for burger recipe ritual summon a second hungry burger that's lethal some friends were watching in VC and the sentence "that dude just mof'd for hamburger recipe" has lived rent free in my head since february
years, years, YEARS ago (like hell, pre-magician's force I believe). At a local cardshop, another kid that I frequently played against, comes up and says that he wants to play me. We're playing and just chatting, we're going back and forth but I'm in clear control the whole time, which I think is a bit weird, he's not usually such a pushover. So as I pass my turn to him I comment that his deck kinda sucks since it hasn't really done anything all game, he draws and says "yeah, well this deck doesn't really do much, but it does do this" and he lays down a hand full of exodia. He didn't play any noticeable draw cards (not that many existed at the time), no sangan or witch or other recruiters. There were a couple of defensive cards such as a giant soldier of stone, which I remember thinking was an odd choice, but not odd enough to scream "stall". There didn't seem to be any actual coherent strat to achieve exodia in the deck, he just happened to draw it, and specifically on the turn when I pointed out that his deck kinda sucked. Literally got Yami'd
I went to a regional the days after the Rokket SD came out, and Rokket Dragon Link was hyped up. I was dumb, bought into the hype, and chose to run this deck I had literally built the night before. I ran it over Crusadia Dragon Link (Agarpain legal edition) which was a deck I knew like the back of my hand and regularly did well with despite only having practiced a few combos. I stayed up late the night before to actually finalize the deck and on top of this I got sick and was feeling it. First round, I played against Pendulum Magician and win die roll. I go first. I can't even think of a play with m dead hand, so I pass hoping to either survive somehow or at least make it hard for my opponent to side. It doesn't work, and I get blown out. It was only later when I was feeling better, remembering the cards in my hand that match that I realized I didn't have a dead hand. Lack of experience combined with feeling out of it had caused me to to not realize I had opened the absolute nuts of a hand, and basically throw my opponent the win. Lessons learned. Do t to a regional sick, don’t use a deck you built the night before, and Pend Magicians are in too many of my Yugioh horror stories.
I went to a Locals two weeks ago, thinking I finally had the perfect Labrynth deck. I went first, managed to summon Ariane, Lady Labrynth, and TWO Labrynth Archfiends, then had Big Welcome, Summon Limit, and TCBOO set for next turn, and my final card, Ash Blossom, in my hand... and then my opponent Harpies Feather Dusters me, then Lightning Storms my monsters, then summons two synchro monsters that blow me up in one turn. I was in shock and babbled like an idiot for five minutes.
Early days of master duel, playing an invoked dogmatika shaddoll mirror. My board was 3 dogmatikas and shaddol beast in attack + aleister in defence + punishment + solemn judgement. Just finished cleaning the opponent's board and passing back to him. He only has meltdown in field and no cards in hand, my 4000 LP to his 2000. I know the deck, there's nothing in it that can potentially recover from that. He draws into super poly. Do you know what ecclesia, fleurdelis, maximus, shaddoll beast and aleister all have in common? They are 5 spellcasters with different names... Dude uses my whole board to make a quintet magician, destroys my backrow and hits for game.
I'll never forget my two most embarrassing losses. Just getting back into YuGiOh in 2014 i was really digging the Bujin playstyle and since the Judgement of Light deck had just released i bought a full set to use the Lighsworn engine in the deck. First match i low roll so my opponent goes first, and he Necroface FTKs me. Lost that game 1-2. Immediate next game i win round one against Blackwings and im feeling good, only for him to side into light imprisoning because of the Structure release.
Second to last round at a regional. Game 2, i won game 1. My opponent goes arisehart pass. I talents to take it. I normal beaver and make Gigantic. I summon blue. I summon jet. i add gamma burst. I say "Hold on, I need a judge" and proceed to vommit on the floor for 3 minutes. They bring me some water and let me clean myself up and give us an extension. I say ok, enter battle and my opponent immediately scoops. Biggest loss of that guys life im sure
At the last round on the bubble at oceanics this year, we were in g3, I went first with despia ending on mirrorjade, bir, guignol, lubellion and branded beast. He starts with duster (1 of) to blow out my backrow, special summons pank (1 of) special summons alpha, I use mirrorjade to banish alpha, he then uses talents to take mirrorjade, then change of heart (1 of) to take guignol, the mind control (1 of) takes my lubellion, makes vampire zombie with my monsters, hits my albion the shrouded, takes that too and then makes draglubion into heart earth for an otk. This guy was playing 60 cards and opened 4 limited cards 💀
Hoo boy lemme tell you, I lost to someone who is using Head Judging and I lose the coin flip 3x times resulting in my starter and extender got stolen and I got nothing in my hand. It seems like I was plating with the real Joey Wheeler or I just have the worst luck in my life.
Actually won my game, but it was traumatizing for my opponent. During final rounds at locals during TOSS format, i was playing vs Sekka BA and the guy ended on Nat Beast, Beatrice, Block Dragon and Fossil Dyna first turn. I managed to drop Gizmek Orochi right before Fossil Dyna. My turn, I pop Nat Beast with Orochi, normal Battle Fader go into BP, which prompted the guy to dump Farfa via Beatrice to banish my Orochi. Swing with Fader into Block Dragon for 3k self-damage and activated Inferno Tempest. He dropped the moment I declared 3 times Necroface. Next week at locals he willingly got a round loss once he saw we were paired up against.
Playing against Dino in what I believe was a 2019 YCS LA with Noble Knights, whenever Summon Sorc and Gumblar were both legal. I went through the line that should have won me the game, but because of performance anxiety, when I sent Dawn Knight to the grave during the combo, I forgot to send Lady of the Lake to continue comboing off. We drew that match, but I remember being so bummed out. In the first round of that same YCS, I was playing against BA and both games, bricked my opening hand. Brick hands plagued me in every tournament in a 60 card deck.
Story 2. Regionals Number 2. I Change of Heart my opponent's Jinzo. Tribute it for Great Maju Garzett. Attack for 4800. Set pre-errata Ring of Destruction. He starts his turn, I Ring for game... he reveals Barrel Behind The Door to 8000 to 0 me.
Losing to a deck just bcs u don't know what they are actually playing. U thought the opponent is playing that one deck, but they are playing something else entirely. Opponent activate archetype A effect, manage to disrupt every single archetype A cards in their hand only for them to use archetype B cards later on. To make it worse archetype A and B don't even synergize well on paper.
I remember this one time, my opponent drew his opening hand and started laughing, I asked him what was so funny, he showed me his hand... it was all five pieces of Exodia.
Not my loss, but Was playing against Lair/Infernoid deck with BlockDragon BA.and the guy had me locked out of playing with floodgates. My only out was to crash Gigantes into his monster to destroy all S/T but theres no way he'd let it through...right? Well I summon Gigantes, he says "lemme see this card." picks it up, looks at it for a solid 20 sec and then says "yeah thats fine" I go to battle phase, crash into Onucu, and "Gigantes effect?" He looks at me with suprise and says "wait what? what effect?" he then picks the card back up and goes "ooooooooh man, I didnt even read the effect I just thought the art looked cool...oh well." and thats how I went 4-0 that night
If you are wondering how the Ancient Warrior player stole a Lightshower; Ancient Warriors have their own Goyo Guardian, Ancient Warrior Ambitious Cao De
My other worst one when I was learning how to set up Tri-Brigade combos. With some assistance from my opponent (it was the casual locals), I got UDF, Ensemblue Robin, Appolusa, abd something else on board only to immediately lose to Lava Golem and post ban Tearlaments. That did little to quell my extreme hatred of Tear.
I was in a real grind of a game early on master duel and was finally able to get enough material for accesscode to clear the board and push for lethal. I linked my 4 monsters, and when it came out with only 2300 atk I read the card
Not my own but while watching a tournament during Rulerbook I saw a Six Sam player go first and summon Shi En + Beast against Spellbook. Basically an FTK right? Opponent reveals 3 Spellbooks and then drops 3 High Priestesses and goes battle.
At first I thought any loss I had that involved a Monarch brick was the worst ones, but no. It's to loose after activating three Solemn Judgement in a row. Which also reveals the bad thing of Yu-Gi-Oh. Some meta decks can survive three Judgements because they only need one card from the archetype to full combo.
Back in 2008 I won a game after face tanking 3 solemn, Playing a Macro cosmos strategy against a E-Hero Stratos deck. After he had dunked him self for 7000 trying to make me scoop in frustration I drew my one of Soul release and flipped DD dynamite. Smugly asked if he had another negate.
At the 3v3 ycs in Vegas this year, my friend accidentally shuffled his side into his main round 1 and got an immediate game loss. He then proceeded to win the next 2 games which won us the match because me and my other teammate got a draw in our games
My most embarrassing loss was a game I played against Thunder Dragon where I was playing Extra Deck True Draco. We were down to the wire, I was sitting on a Crystal Wings with a bunch of backrow, while my opponent was on Thunder Dragon Titan throwing the kitchen sink at me trying to remove my Crystal Wings. I was getting nervous because Crystal Wings negated a pop 2 turns running, and if he had a second removal either of those times I was dead. So, out of desperation I flip SKILL DRAIN to turn off Titan's abilities. Only for my opponent to let out a sigh of relief and everyone watching us had an absolute stroke.
A different sort of situation. I picked up Paleo-Exodia on master duel because i thought it was funny. When i was messing around in solo to get the feel for the deck, i lost to DM bot because i popped dark magicians, then got my board cleared by DM raigeki and OTKed. I had 4 pieces in hand.
My best witness to a loss is in Duel Links where people can't resist to go full combo even when it doesn't serve any purpose. The last card my opponent plays is the Darkwing that self-burns and he loses the duel instead of direct attacking for 5k damage against no backrow.
Got to watch one at my locals back around 2005. Player drew 3 pieces turn one, opponent drops Card Destruction, no big deal, then his opponent drops Soul Release. The player scooped, game 2, and the poor guy draws 4 pieces alongside Swords of Revealing Light. Activates SoRL, passes turn...and the opponent dropped Card Destruction again, followed by another Soul Release. The opponent was on a Gren Maju deck, and actually got really good luck with a lot of his draws, but I'll always remember that as a reason why Exodia decks need something in the side to deal with banishing.
Side in skill drain for game 3. Draw 3 of them one turn at a time cementing you have no plays to stop them from beating you down the old fashioned way. They had 2 ash and called to make sure I wasn't doing any searching or drawing.
Watched the most insane comeback of the century where two friends of mine were dueling, one was on tearlaments Horus and the other was on mekk-knights. The mekk-knight player had a god hand and played head first into the tearlaments end board and ended up still being able to get out avramax and hang on for dear life for the rest of the game utilizing the mekk-knight back-row and indigo. The mekk-knight player won after about 6 turns of outplaying the friend on tearlaments. It was like watching a legit anime duel through and through
I know this is the opposite of the thread but here it goes anyway. I was playing labrynth before the latest support in MD and I sniped Ido the supreme magical force from the hand of my branded opponent with Lovely, and basically Ido locked them since the summoning from the graveyard is mandatory. I can only hope that branded player learned from the experience.
I'm playing Crusadia vs Nekroz in 2019. Time gets called and we're both at 100 lp. I have Aveamax on board, and a limited hand. His board is empty. He has multiple Valkyrus to fade the battle phases. I know he has Trish in hand, so I have to set every card I draw. I chew through 3 Valks, and my next draw was World Lance. He summons Trish and kills me
I don't have any of them, but I've been the one to give someone a good yugioh loss: Volcanic'd a Chaos-DAD player on the first round of a locals match. Lost the other two handily because, well, I was hella young versus a grown adult with expensive cards, but the face he gave me when Scattershot stopped him was bliss.
I can remember one of my favorute losses - Round 2 of an England regionals playing Mikanko Libromancer against Kash. I won game 1 by setting up a full board with multiple negates, indestructable Archlord Kristya, 2 steals and followup in hand. Game 2 I get full zone locked and just get OTKd, game three I start to do the full lockdown combo and get ashed at a choke point in the setup. Being the silly billy that I am, I fail to look at my options and pass seeing as I didn't realise I have a valid activation of Libromancer First Appearance that would have allowed me to tribute a Benten and put my opponent under a Kristya. Get OTKd and die to a tax dragon the next turn. Thems the brakes.
Worst loss was at a locals. Built a board of 4 Omni + S/T negates. Opponent booked me 5 times (2 Eclipse, 3 Moons), and then drew into a 1-card combo to OTK.
One time in a casual game against a friend I confidently banked down to 100 LP through various halvings and minor damages with a Limiter removal power bonded Chimera tech ramage on the board going for game and you know what My opponent has face down? Marshmallon
back when the Geargia structure deck had just come out, I bought three copies and mashed them together and just playtested it all the time but my only consistent opponent was my brother, who wasn't nearly as familiar with the game but I was teaching him the new mechanics. One day he had to get his oil changed and his tires rotated so we decided to bring our cards and walk across the parking lot to the Applebee's next door. So my semi-meta Geargia deck goes up against my brother's pile deck of cards he just had laying around but I helped him build a reasonably competent deck with them, a lot of which were cards from War of the Giants battle pack and a handful of Premium Gold: Return of the Bling. Turns out, three-structure-Geargia has absolutely 0 ways to deal with Gem Knight Pearl. I lost to a vanilla XYZ in an Applebee's because of the 100 additional Attack points. I think the Geargia deck came with a Forbidden Lance of Chalice but I was only playing 1 or 2 if any, because it was at the time when those cards were on their way out via power creep so all the netdeck lists I examined barely ran them at all. To complement this, a few years later I was at my locals and I ended up going against this dude who lowkey bullied me as a kid. He was on pure Yang Zing back when they were thought to be this big game-changing meta threat, and I kicked his ass with pure Harpies lol Turns out Chaofeng can't do shit against Black Rose Moonlight Dragon.
The loss that caused me to quit competitive tcg was during dragon rulers/spellbook/evilswarm format. It was a locals and lord of tachyion galaxy came out a week before. I made sure no one in the locals owned a dracosak (bought them from everyone who opened them) and the locals was filled with evilswarm (which i had main deck hate against ophion) and i face a watt deck (gravity bind, level limit area B, summon limit)
On md i lost to a blue eyes while playing mikanko, why cause i placed the monster and spell on the same column of impern i activated. Attacked not realizing and lost, i killed myself
4:48 For what it's worth, this was an illegal play. You can summon Reinoheart in the damage step, and send a Tear name with it, but you are not allowed to Fusion Summon during the Damage Step (all the Tear girls say "(except during the Damage Step)" as a reminder), so summoning Kaleido with Mother Grizzly is not possible.
I just had a game today on MD where I did FIVE game losing missplays that got me dying of embarassment and the opponent somehow didn't end the game right then. I felt like I was given four opportunities to redeem myself and wasted all of them.
I'm not really great at tracking specific loss stories, but I lost to a Swoswo player in Master Duel the other day because I forgot that I can't Nibiru after Scarlet Sanguine! That was a very silly of me. You'd think the Mayakashi player would be better at understanding xeno-locks.
I will never forget the time I missplayed in Master Duel, after a three hour grind from Silver upto Diamond. On my last win before diamond one, playing Megalith against Swordswoul. All I needed to do was tribute Phuul, summon Bethor, pop the known Blackout, special summon Analyser, and then go into the Aurorodon line. End on two negates versus two cards in hand. I planned the whole line out. And then I tried to retain the Phuul Bethor in hand to summon the second one from deck. And then Blackout was live.
Mine was summoning UDF three games in a row only to have it Triple Tac'd and turned into Zeus three games in a row. I even had Crossout set in the third game only to realize that my Triple Tac was banished by my opponents Diablosis.
Back a long time ago I was coping on Fabled at locals. I walked into a mirror force and next turn they flipped a graverobber to use my monster reborn for game...First and only time I have ever seen graverobber in a deck.
Just yesterday I got infinite comboed by a drytron player in fusion xyz fest using arcana force XXI to keep skipping my turn and I mistimed my imperm to instead negate Beatrice who I didn't know was quick effect on the dump effect.
When i was returning to yugioh in winter of 2021 , and boy was the return to party i had abysmal ( keep in mind that i was only playing with only two of the "mechanised madness" structure deck"so it's the most jank sht ever) First round out four; i get u linked ok i guess it happens sometimes, oh well no big issue right? Second round : i get mined, then the player who also mined me activated final countdown and prohibition call "twin twisters" ( my only backrow removal at the time, thankfully i had ine facedown but oh oh! *OLD MAN SAY NO* ) 3RD round: .......you know that was actually not bad, it was a decent back and forth again code talkers, even tho i got *accesu intergrato* but yeah......i think I'm missing something Oh yeah! I also got paired against litch, in it's hay day
one time when i was teaching myself g golems i lost to a hero player because i was only playing 2 pebble dog. my line of thought was that the first pebble is ashbait to grab the second one, and the second one grabs gravity balance. little did i know that i needed to use all my available material to make trilithon, not even otk them with tri/crystal, and get caught next turn with no cards on field and no way to start plays.
2:40 - I had a similar experience. I swear *EVERY* game in Master Duel for like 50 games in a row was rigged. No matter how good/bad the deck/person I was playing against was they *ALWAYS* got the perfect cards turn 1. *HOURS* later I *FINALLY* played against a 60 card Blue-Eyes player, went in for something like 7900 damage ...only for them to reveal Mahaama. If the opponent wasn't operating with the intellect of a lobotomized chicken with its head cut off and actually used the burn effect I would've lost.
I know a guy in a continental that South America. HE LOST IN THE FINALS WITH CYBER DRAGON WHEN HIS OPPONENT ACTIVATED MYSTIC MINE. I don't remember what was playing their opponent.
I went against lab today in MD Opened d-barrier, deck devastation big welcome I tried to play through it I’m on runick spright fur hire, eh it won’t be that bad Bro starts throwing kaijus out like I’m goddamn ultraman
I don't know if this counts, but I was playing in a small online tournament, my turn starts, IIRC my hand is looking pretty good, but at that moment I get called to bring the groceries into the house from the car. I immediately bolt for the car in an attempt to get the groceries in before my time limit runs out, but as soon as I reached the car, I knew I was not gonna have enough time.
Love when people don't read Crimson Nova the Dark Cubic Lord and target him to destroy and go "why isn't he destroyed" but they won't read him to see that he's unaffected by activated monster effects with an original attack of 3,000 or less. Then they die to the 3,000 burn damage he also does
Honestly I have to respect the players that, when they see they have a card in their extra that's not supposed to be there/have too big of a side deck, will call a judge over to get the loss. I know i'd be fine with it if the person I was playing told me "Hey can we go to game 2? I messed up and some of my main deck cards went into my extra". I've had that exact thing happen to me before (in a casual setting) and there's nothing more disappointing than seeing the card you need in a spot you'll never get them from
In the same vein as that Pendulum player trying to out Anti-Spell, I was dueling this kid playing Lab, and trying to out Skill Drain... turns out he opened with three of them, so I'd pop one, and he'd flip another.
when there was a locals in my area, I went to locals with my brother and my cousins, and, although it did not happen to me, my cousin lost to pre-errata dark strike fighter, but not because it was a broken card in the sense that it was pre-errata, but because he thought that dark strike fighter was a card that inflicted 2000 points of damage for each level on the monster tributed. for me, when I was a kid, I found a stack of random cards sitting on a chair at what I think was a regional tournament (that my brother was playing in, he was also just a kid still) and played against someone who was playing full power teledad. with my cards held by a bundle of rubber bands that were not even mine, I got swept by my opponents ridiculously powerful hand. (I literally had marine neos in my extra deck and could not play it)
I also know that I delivered someone his worst loss when, in Game 3, I told him that he just killed himself by paying all of his remaining 1000 life points to activate his Heatsoul.
I've had a few over the years but mostly don't remember them. The one i hated most was at a locals a couple of months ago. So i'm on Conclave Control and this asswipe across from me is not only on Branded but he's one of those "I don't read, i ask you to explain your cards" fuckwits. I managed to hold him off turn 2 after i went first, then OTK him, game 2 i brick. Game 3 i go first, hold him off, miss lethal by a few hunted but surely he can't out a board of conclave, miracle and 4 monsters right? Well i'd never seen Blazing Cartesia till then, he did out the board and i had nothing left so he killed me over a couple of turns.
Got VERY close to getting an example yesterday. Fusion XYZ festival (meaning Goddess is not on my extra deck), and I forgot to add Vespenato in her slot. Turn 1 they drop the usual unkillable Crooked Cook. THANK GOD for Amethyst Cat. After about 3 turns of dealing 600 damage he went for a Zeus, and I punished him HARD with Overdrive.
The worst loss i can remember was back when the new time rules just came by and i was playing noid vs gravekeeper, we were1-1, i was loosing by 100 points and my oppnent just refused to pass turn for 10 seconds , i had the clear play summon anything attack and win …. He just didnt passed turn…

The best loss in yugioh that sent me the furthest was the YCS where two players shuffled their decks together by accident. Cannot imagine being a judge in that scenario.
H…HOW DO YOU DO THAT ON *ACCIDENT*
it was finals, or semi-finals or something, so they had the konami sleeves on their decks. iirc it was a trickstar mirror so the decks just ended up getting shuffled together and neither player noticed until they drew a card from their opponents side board.@@HoneycombProductions
@@HoneycombProductions IIRC both players were playing BA and had the exact same sleeves, only difference in the decks were a few cards. I believe what happened was they shuffled each others cards but forgot to hand them back. They only realised when one of them had a card that wasnt in their deck
@@HoneycombProductionsOnly explanation I can give is somehow both players were running cards/decks that can steal from the opponent. Both moving quickly due to time only to forget to hand back the card they took.
@@HoneycombProductionssame sleeves probably
Sometimes Yu-Gi-Oh players get so autopiloted with their deck of choice, they fall into a habit of taking shortcuts and forgetting what their cards actually say they do.
Anyway, I once dealt exact lethal to myself with a Sunvine Sowing.
That sounds very in character for the amime character who pilots them
I'm surprised MBT didn't bring up... that duel in Master Duel. You know the one... the forbidden one with that 1 HERO duelist... with the strongest defensive hero.
This video is a classic Clayman W

@@waltcruz1631 it was the master duel tearlament video
I thought Joseph's worst loss would be the Clayman one

I thought Joseph's worst lose is his tear 0 deck against normal summon E-Hero Clayman with clay body built-to-last.
Woohoo clayman sweep!
That clayman wasnt the only thing hard as a rock that day
i was at a regionals, in 2023, got exodiaed, she was playing runick fur hire, i attacked for game with avramax, and she goes tip, search golden droplett, fountail draw 3, and drew exodia, AAAAAAAAAAA
she went top 36 in that event
SHE SIDEBOARDED EXODIA
Most based Runick player, she deserved that win just for the balls to side fucking Exodia pieces
Yeah that's incredibly based
I’ve got a late entry to this, with something that I did at my Edison locals just this night: I spent all my resources pushing for lethal over a Blackwing Armor Master, completely forgetting that it negates battle damage.
What makes this doubly embarrassing is that I was also playing Blackwings.
that bluey intro is a new level of top tier shoutout to dire for being in everyone's top three favorite editors with a name based around a removal/destruction card!
Dire, Crush Cards, and who else?
Vlad?
@@MomirViggwilvMe : )
Im going g to ask because I don't know but what card is dire's name from
@@roberthorn9915 Diamond Dire Wolf I guess? Not sure if Dire's name is actually derived from Yugioh, but if it is, it would probably be from this Rank 4 staple.
Got a loss in the current master duel event because I forgot that lyrilusc recital starling doesn’t reflect the battle damage back like mikanko, but instead inflicts it to both players, so imagine my shock seeing the final blow animation play
Similar experience, I was playing with the Oogdoadic starter in between crafting the deck I wanted to make and my opponent was playing the same. Basically, I fired the alien trap card at the wrong time and he went Anata for game. Sadge.
I lost in the event to reptiles because I frogot Arsenal Falcon could attack multiple times. I had lethal, missed it, and the opponent summons Geh on me later on.
that's why you're supposed to use your assembled nightingale to negate the battle damage you'd take that turn! :)
it happens.
@@KuroeNezumi I couldn’t, it wouldn’t have enough attacks for lethal
I had an embarrassing loss to Sacred Beasts because I got so into planning out my moves that I skipped over the "activate Lightning Storm to get rid of all that pesky backrow" step. And of course by the time I remembered, I already had cards on the field.
1:26 People always say skill issue, but nobody ever thinks to call out a mental issue
Here's a loss i'll never forget. Backstory is needed:
Just getting back into YGO as a wee lad (2011-2013) when i was at locals having fun. I didnt know deck building and wanted to make a Dino deck so i made Jurrac. Guibas and Velos and Arleo and such. And then when Dino Rabbit was a thing and since i already had the core there and coincidentally pulled multiple Rescue Rabbits from packs, i was smooth sailing that format.
I was in a Judgement of the Light pre-release event and got to round 3 of Losers and paired w/ an Exodia/Empty Jar player.
At this point I have never seen Exodia as a deck, only in the anime. So I was basically going in blind.
Its game three, turn 3 for me. They used Allure of Darkness and didn't draw a dark so they discarded their hand (no pieces tho). They have two set cards.
I used Laggia already to negate Duality earlier so no mats.
Nothing relevant on board or set because im a child and dont know the game.
Draw MST and immediately use it on a backrow blind. Mirror Force. Awesome!
I attack into Magical Library. Waboku.
Mp2 i have a Beast King Barbaros and a monster reborn that i didnt want to use for some damn reason. I pass there.
They draw, activate Reckless Greed, then use Hand Destruction after chain to then win after that.
My biggest regret is not setting that Reborn. Because i didnt know Hand Destruction required both players to have 2 cards in hand. Super sad bois
I was playing Tri-brigade at locals the other day, i go first and set up a decent board. I activate revolt to summon 4 monster and link into Shuireg to banish 1 of their cards, and my opponent proceeds to 1) activate Nibiru on their own turn and give a token in attack position 2) activate tactics thrust to get triple tact 3) activate triple tact taking the token and otk me. I was at a loss for words
There’s always the classic; playing a deck different than what you’re used to, winning the coin toss and making the wrong choice
What the crap are you doing playing a deck that can't play well going first AND second to begin with?
@@joanaguayoplanell4912he is playing for fun. A man of sheer commitment and will.
Kinda have that with a deck in MD, except whenever I get to choose I always pick the wrong one. “Okay, I’ll go first” get none of my combo cards or get imperm/LS/evenly-d. “Okay, I’ll go second this time” opponent goes full combo through every hand trap I have or sets up the 4+ negates or I get none of my board breaker cards.
But whenever they chose, I have a much better chance either way. I don’t understand…
Man finally one that I had an answer for and I missed it. I was playing on a yugioh autosim shortly before the release of Master Duel. I queued up with a very crappy Yubel deck that basically had no interaction other than destruction. What does my opponent play but Flying Elephant- the card that becomes an alternate win con if your opponent tries to destroy it with a card effect. I actually held out for a while but eventually there was nothing else I could do and I joined Bandit Keith as one of the two people on Planet Earth to lose to the effect of Flying Elephant.
It wasn't me, but I had a duel where I used evenly matched and they popped a card to destroy my evenly match only for both of us to realized that this actually banishes the whole field. I have never seen that person again since that day.
That happened once to me, on one of the last matches I ever played on EDOpro before permanently switching to Duelingbook, they used the Swordsoul level 10 on my Evenly. Unfortunately still lost that game because the EDOpro RNG is complete rigged bullshit and I will die on that hill.
@@joanaguayoplanell4912 so is duelingbook better than omega? don't you have to do everything manually in duelingbook like send card to the gy and stuff?
Shoutout to all my homies who have set up nearly unbeatable monster infinite negate+interruption boards just to get double Lava Golemed or Dark Ruler + Even Matched.
Dark Ruler, Lava Golem, Evenly followed by Mo-ye revealing Long-yuan
Claaaaaaaaaassic
And turn 1 boards like that are why strong breakers need to continue existing at 3 copies. 😊 I don't care what Farfa says. Free Lightning Storm.
There's a dude in locals that always always plays virtual World with some kind of variation, it's really funny to me cuz I'd never lossed to him, he wins the diceroll everytime but i always open dark ruler + evenly + robina, I always draw that exact hand when it's him, even on the Last regional LMAO poor guy he makes me draw the out for his board
My locals was having a crate tournament to celebrate the release of, of all sets, the Water Duelist Pack, and it turned into what can only be described as a mini regional. We had way more people than usual attending, and the tourney cost way more than usual to enter, so I was nervous - but I made it all the way to finals on my tried and true Earth Machine brew.
I show up to finals expecting to face meta like I had for the last few rounds, only to come face to face with a Marincess player. I could tell he was a marincess player before game 1 thanks to his Marincess Mat, Sleeves, field center, and custom card case... I had never played against Marincess post their new support.
Game 1 and two are over relatively quickly, but game 3 hits us with a double brick. I'm playing the shithouse that is Earth Machine, so it's no surprise from me, but I'd later find out my opponent opened 4 hand traps and battle ocean. We enter the mother of all top deck wars, trading combos that get cut short by handtraps for ages, when the judge calls five minutes left in round. My opponent is way up on me in terms of LP, but it's my turn, and I just drew combo. Let's game.
I do my Earth Machine combo, which takes an eternity, and time is *this close* to being called. My opponent has about 3k LP on me, but I know that if I combo long enough, and if his hand doesn't contain *specifically Effect veiler* I can burn him to death...!
But that's not what I do. He only has a single monster on field after all, sitting at a measly 3100 Attack. Why go through a long and involved xyz combo when I can just summon Ruinforce and beat over his guy for game?
I enter the battle phase with a full board of 6, a Ruinforce, two Qliphort Geniuses, a Machina Fortress, a gearframe and a Citadel. I attack with Ruinforce over his measly link monster... And suddenly he starts digging in his graveyard.
That was when I learned that Marincess is (or was at the time, anyway) the ONLY archetype in the game whose in-graveyard destruction protector can also protect against battle.
My worse lost was during my villain arc where I made a deck to get numeron dragon to over 16k in tag duels (tag duels have 16k) so I can otk. Had a melodious player magic cylinder me in style with the melodious attack drop combined with honest to reverse otk us for over 20k. I couldn't even be mad and I memed it on my channel.
Pretty sure the galaxy eyes player shouldn’t have lost, prime photon can only be used during damage calc, which is after you can activate magic cylinder, meaning he would’ve had to use it when prime photon was at 4k.
This was the finals at locals, and it was my opponent having an embarrassing loss against 'me' , he was on Floo, I was playing Ancient Warriors. He said he bricked, so he set 2 backrow and passed. I went second, normal summoned Sun Mou, and then proceeded to kill him. At the end of the game he flipped his backrow to show me how 'bad' his hand was. It was 2 judgment. For those not in the know, Ancient Warriors is an incredibly fragile deck, if you screw with my normal, I either lose, or pass turn on the spot.
what happens whe you lack a variety of deck knowledge.
though I do wonder: is it like an ice barrier case where if you lack any initial board presence you can't get any effect to work, or does it matter for effects when they're normal summoned to start your plays? I know they're stronger when there's more than one, wondering if stopping the one normal is equally as viable as trying to keep more of them from sticking to the field.
@@KuroeNezumi Incredibly late, but. They have no on-summon effects (save for the link 2), but they do have their continuous spell that searches on-summon. If no player has a monster on board and your normal was negated, you just have to hope you opened with the one spell that specials from hand. They get effects (on the field) when you have other ancient warriors activate effects (on the field).
I lost on MD because my zephyros did the last 400 damage while I was panicking pressing buttons due to low time. It was a funny jump scare.
i have done the exact same thing lmao
I have seen Spright Starter kill so many people, I think there’s even a clip of MBT seeing it happen
@@alchemistarcher02Any chance you remember the video? That sounds hilarious
Came in second at locals because I miscalculated End Punisher attack gain, left my opponent with 100 lp, and I lost the following turn. Worst part is that I could have summoned Plague Spreader from GY for that last bit of lp, but I was confident that my guy was going to be big enough.
I had a recent one like this versus Branded, I thought I would be able to swing for game since they were also Masquerade burning me, but ended up 100 short exactly
Were you against Traptrix in the UK by any chance? My opponent did that to me a few months back lmao
@@lolaandjoe123
Nah, it's was against Tearlaments during POTE format. I was using a PUNK/Zombie/Tear pile at the time.
The evenly battle phase thing happens all the time. You combo so long you forget you used it and then end on a board that OTKs when you have no battle phase left.
I must be 900+ iq because I never ever have done this.
Because I’ve never played Evenly Matched….
friend and i were doing a progression series thingy
around like MRL
he has a hungry burger face up and a set monster
flips it up MOF
mof for burger recipe
ritual summon a second hungry burger
that's lethal
some friends were watching in VC and the sentence "that dude just mof'd for hamburger recipe" has lived rent free in my head since february
years, years, YEARS ago (like hell, pre-magician's force I believe). At a local cardshop, another kid that I frequently played against, comes up and says that he wants to play me. We're playing and just chatting, we're going back and forth but I'm in clear control the whole time, which I think is a bit weird, he's not usually such a pushover. So as I pass my turn to him I comment that his deck kinda sucks since it hasn't really done anything all game, he draws and says "yeah, well this deck doesn't really do much, but it does do this" and he lays down a hand full of exodia.
He didn't play any noticeable draw cards (not that many existed at the time), no sangan or witch or other recruiters. There were a couple of defensive cards such as a giant soldier of stone, which I remember thinking was an odd choice, but not odd enough to scream "stall". There didn't seem to be any actual coherent strat to achieve exodia in the deck, he just happened to draw it, and specifically on the turn when I pointed out that his deck kinda sucked.
Literally got Yami'd
I went to a regional the days after the Rokket SD came out, and Rokket Dragon Link was hyped up. I was dumb, bought into the hype, and chose to run this deck I had literally built the night before. I ran it over Crusadia Dragon Link (Agarpain legal edition) which was a deck I knew like the back of my hand and regularly did well with despite only having practiced a few combos. I stayed up late the night before to actually finalize the deck and on top of this I got sick and was feeling it.
First round, I played against Pendulum Magician and win die roll. I go first. I can't even think of a play with m dead hand, so I pass hoping to either survive somehow or at least make it hard for my opponent to side. It doesn't work, and I get blown out. It was only later when I was feeling better, remembering the cards in my hand that match that I realized I didn't have a dead hand. Lack of experience combined with feeling out of it had caused me to to not realize I had opened the absolute nuts of a hand, and basically throw my opponent the win. Lessons learned. Do t to a regional sick, don’t use a deck you built the night before, and Pend Magicians are in too many of my Yugioh horror stories.
THE MCDONALS TRAY Dino player! I still reference him this day! 6:51
The guy at 7:37 is a good guy, I like that guy
Man makes a mistake, owns up immediately
I went to a Locals two weeks ago, thinking I finally had the perfect Labrynth deck. I went first, managed to summon Ariane, Lady Labrynth, and TWO Labrynth Archfiends, then had Big Welcome, Summon Limit, and TCBOO set for next turn, and my final card, Ash Blossom, in my hand... and then my opponent Harpies Feather Dusters me, then Lightning Storms my monsters, then summons two synchro monsters that blow me up in one turn. I was in shock and babbled like an idiot for five minutes.
Early days of master duel, playing an invoked dogmatika shaddoll mirror. My board was 3 dogmatikas and shaddol beast in attack + aleister in defence + punishment + solemn judgement. Just finished cleaning the opponent's board and passing back to him. He only has meltdown in field and no cards in hand, my 4000 LP to his 2000. I know the deck, there's nothing in it that can potentially recover from that.
He draws into super poly.
Do you know what ecclesia, fleurdelis, maximus, shaddoll beast and aleister all have in common? They are 5 spellcasters with different names...
Dude uses my whole board to make a quintet magician, destroys my backrow and hits for game.
How did the opponent activate Super Poly without another card to discard?
I'll never forget my two most embarrassing losses. Just getting back into YuGiOh in 2014 i was really digging the Bujin playstyle and since the Judgement of Light deck had just released i bought a full set to use the Lighsworn engine in the deck. First match i low roll so my opponent goes first, and he Necroface FTKs me. Lost that game 1-2.
Immediate next game i win round one against Blackwings and im feeling good, only for him to side into light imprisoning because of the Structure release.
Second to last round at a regional. Game 2, i won game 1. My opponent goes arisehart pass. I talents to take it. I normal beaver and make Gigantic. I summon blue. I summon jet. i add gamma burst.
I say "Hold on, I need a judge" and proceed to vommit on the floor for 3 minutes.
They bring me some water and let me clean myself up and give us an extension. I say ok, enter battle and my opponent immediately scoops. Biggest loss of that guys life im sure
At the last round on the bubble at oceanics this year, we were in g3, I went first with despia ending on mirrorjade, bir, guignol, lubellion and branded beast. He starts with duster (1 of) to blow out my backrow, special summons pank (1 of) special summons alpha, I use mirrorjade to banish alpha, he then uses talents to take mirrorjade, then change of heart (1 of) to take guignol, the mind control (1 of) takes my lubellion, makes vampire zombie with my monsters, hits my albion the shrouded, takes that too and then makes draglubion into heart earth for an otk. This guy was playing 60 cards and opened 4 limited cards 💀
Hoo boy lemme tell you, I lost to someone who is using Head Judging and I lose the coin flip 3x times resulting in my starter and extender got stolen and I got nothing in my hand. It seems like I was plating with the real Joey Wheeler or I just have the worst luck in my life.
Actually won my game, but it was traumatizing for my opponent. During final rounds at locals during TOSS format, i was playing vs Sekka BA and the guy ended on Nat Beast, Beatrice, Block Dragon and Fossil Dyna first turn. I managed to drop Gizmek Orochi right before Fossil Dyna.
My turn, I pop Nat Beast with Orochi, normal Battle Fader go into BP, which prompted the guy to dump Farfa via Beatrice to banish my Orochi. Swing with Fader into Block Dragon for 3k self-damage and activated Inferno Tempest. He dropped the moment I declared 3 times Necroface.
Next week at locals he willingly got a round loss once he saw we were paired up against.
I lost against Ninja with Ancient Gear cause I forgot to attack on one turn when I had lethal on board .....
Playing against Dino in what I believe was a 2019 YCS LA with Noble Knights, whenever Summon Sorc and Gumblar were both legal. I went through the line that should have won me the game, but because of performance anxiety, when I sent Dawn Knight to the grave during the combo, I forgot to send Lady of the Lake to continue comboing off. We drew that match, but I remember being so bummed out. In the first round of that same YCS, I was playing against BA and both games, bricked my opening hand. Brick hands plagued me in every tournament in a 60 card deck.
Story 2. Regionals Number 2. I Change of Heart my opponent's Jinzo. Tribute it for Great Maju Garzett. Attack for 4800. Set pre-errata Ring of Destruction. He starts his turn, I Ring for game... he reveals Barrel Behind The Door to 8000 to 0 me.
Losing to a deck just bcs u don't know what they are actually playing. U thought the opponent is playing that one deck, but they are playing something else entirely. Opponent activate archetype A effect, manage to disrupt every single archetype A cards in their hand only for them to use archetype B cards later on. To make it worse archetype A and B don't even synergize well on paper.
I remember this one time, my opponent drew his opening hand and started laughing, I asked him what was so funny, he showed me his hand... it was all five pieces of Exodia.
Not my loss, but
Was playing against Lair/Infernoid deck with BlockDragon BA.and the guy had me locked out of playing with floodgates. My only out was to crash Gigantes into his monster to destroy all S/T but theres no way he'd let it through...right?
Well I summon Gigantes, he says "lemme see this card." picks it up, looks at it for a solid 20 sec and then says "yeah thats fine"
I go to battle phase, crash into Onucu, and "Gigantes effect?"
He looks at me with suprise and says "wait what? what effect?" he then picks the card back up and goes "ooooooooh man, I didnt even read the effect I just thought the art looked cool...oh well."
and thats how I went 4-0 that night
If you are wondering how the Ancient Warrior player stole a Lightshower; Ancient Warriors have their own Goyo Guardian, Ancient Warrior Ambitious Cao De
My other worst one when I was learning how to set up Tri-Brigade combos.
With some assistance from my opponent (it was the casual locals), I got UDF, Ensemblue Robin, Appolusa, abd something else on board only to immediately lose to Lava Golem and post ban Tearlaments. That did little to quell my extreme hatred of Tear.
I was in a real grind of a game early on master duel and was finally able to get enough material for accesscode to clear the board and push for lethal. I linked my 4 monsters, and when it came out with only 2300 atk I read the card
Not my own but while watching a tournament during Rulerbook I saw a Six Sam player go first and summon Shi En + Beast against Spellbook. Basically an FTK right? Opponent reveals 3 Spellbooks and then drops 3 High Priestesses and goes battle.
you should've called this one "YOU SENT ME YOUR CLAYMAN MOMENTS"
At first I thought any loss I had that involved a Monarch brick was the worst ones, but no.
It's to loose after activating three Solemn Judgement in a row. Which also reveals the bad thing of Yu-Gi-Oh. Some meta decks can survive three Judgements because they only need one card from the archetype to full combo.
Back in 2008 I won a game after face tanking 3 solemn, Playing a Macro cosmos strategy against a E-Hero Stratos deck. After he had dunked him self for 7000 trying to make me scoop in frustration I drew my one of Soul release and flipped DD dynamite. Smugly asked if he had another negate.
tbf if you judgement 3 times in a turn the only "full combo" you need to win from that position is to summon one guy with 2k
I swear, I think I speak for everyone that Dire is a fucking amazing editor.😁
At the 3v3 ycs in Vegas this year, my friend accidentally shuffled his side into his main round 1 and got an immediate game loss. He then proceeded to win the next 2 games which won us the match because me and my other teammate got a draw in our games
My most embarrassing loss was a game I played against Thunder Dragon where I was playing Extra Deck True Draco. We were down to the wire, I was sitting on a Crystal Wings with a bunch of backrow, while my opponent was on Thunder Dragon Titan throwing the kitchen sink at me trying to remove my Crystal Wings.
I was getting nervous because Crystal Wings negated a pop 2 turns running, and if he had a second removal either of those times I was dead. So, out of desperation I flip SKILL DRAIN to turn off Titan's abilities. Only for my opponent to let out a sigh of relief and everyone watching us had an absolute stroke.
A different sort of situation. I picked up Paleo-Exodia on master duel because i thought it was funny. When i was messing around in solo to get the feel for the deck, i lost to DM bot because i popped dark magicians, then got my board cleared by DM raigeki and OTKed. I had 4 pieces in hand.
Who could forget the ARG fever dream when Barret didnt judgment the danko sekka with set 4
My best witness to a loss is in Duel Links where people can't resist to go full combo even when it doesn't serve any purpose. The last card my opponent plays is the Darkwing that self-burns and he loses the duel instead of direct attacking for 5k damage against no backrow.
Got to watch one at my locals back around 2005. Player drew 3 pieces turn one, opponent drops Card Destruction, no big deal, then his opponent drops Soul Release. The player scooped, game 2, and the poor guy draws 4 pieces alongside Swords of Revealing Light. Activates SoRL, passes turn...and the opponent dropped Card Destruction again, followed by another Soul Release. The opponent was on a Gren Maju deck, and actually got really good luck with a lot of his draws, but I'll always remember that as a reason why Exodia decks need something in the side to deal with banishing.
Side in skill drain for game 3. Draw 3 of them one turn at a time cementing you have no plays to stop them from beating you down the old fashioned way. They had 2 ash and called to make sure I wasn't doing any searching or drawing.
I lost from delinquent duoing a despair from the dark out my opponents hand in 2004 local tourny final. Couldnt out it.
Watched the most insane comeback of the century where two friends of mine were dueling, one was on tearlaments Horus and the other was on mekk-knights. The mekk-knight player had a god hand and played head first into the tearlaments end board and ended up still being able to get out avramax and hang on for dear life for the rest of the game utilizing the mekk-knight back-row and indigo. The mekk-knight player won after about 6 turns of outplaying the friend on tearlaments. It was like watching a legit anime duel through and through
I know this is the opposite of the thread but here it goes anyway. I was playing labrynth before the latest support in MD and I sniped Ido the supreme magical force from the hand of my branded opponent with Lovely, and basically Ido locked them since the summoning from the graveyard is mandatory. I can only hope that branded player learned from the experience.
I'm playing Crusadia vs Nekroz in 2019. Time gets called and we're both at 100 lp. I have Aveamax on board, and a limited hand. His board is empty. He has multiple Valkyrus to fade the battle phases. I know he has Trish in hand, so I have to set every card I draw. I chew through 3 Valks, and my next draw was World Lance. He summons Trish and kills me
This whole thread is just a Yu-gi-oh episode told from the perspective of the antagonist.
I don't have any of them, but I've been the one to give someone a good yugioh loss: Volcanic'd a Chaos-DAD player on the first round of a locals match. Lost the other two handily because, well, I was hella young versus a grown adult with expensive cards, but the face he gave me when Scattershot stopped him was bliss.
The flashiest lost ive ever had was when my opponent summoned chengying with 0 cards in deck and swings for like 10 billion
I can remember one of my favorute losses - Round 2 of an England regionals playing Mikanko Libromancer against Kash. I won game 1 by setting up a full board with multiple negates, indestructable Archlord Kristya, 2 steals and followup in hand. Game 2 I get full zone locked and just get OTKd, game three I start to do the full lockdown combo and get ashed at a choke point in the setup.
Being the silly billy that I am, I fail to look at my options and pass seeing as I didn't realise I have a valid activation of Libromancer First Appearance that would have allowed me to tribute a Benten and put my opponent under a Kristya. Get OTKd and die to a tax dragon the next turn. Thems the brakes.
Worst loss was at a locals.
Built a board of 4 Omni + S/T negates.
Opponent booked me 5 times (2 Eclipse, 3 Moons), and then drew into a 1-card combo to OTK.
One time in a casual game against a friend I confidently banked down to 100 LP through various halvings and minor damages with a Limiter removal power bonded Chimera tech ramage on the board going for game and you know what My opponent has face down? Marshmallon
back when the Geargia structure deck had just come out, I bought three copies and mashed them together and just playtested it all the time but my only consistent opponent was my brother, who wasn't nearly as familiar with the game but I was teaching him the new mechanics. One day he had to get his oil changed and his tires rotated so we decided to bring our cards and walk across the parking lot to the Applebee's next door. So my semi-meta Geargia deck goes up against my brother's pile deck of cards he just had laying around but I helped him build a reasonably competent deck with them, a lot of which were cards from War of the Giants battle pack and a handful of Premium Gold: Return of the Bling.
Turns out, three-structure-Geargia has absolutely 0 ways to deal with Gem Knight Pearl. I lost to a vanilla XYZ in an Applebee's because of the 100 additional Attack points. I think the Geargia deck came with a Forbidden Lance of Chalice but I was only playing 1 or 2 if any, because it was at the time when those cards were on their way out via power creep so all the netdeck lists I examined barely ran them at all.
To complement this, a few years later I was at my locals and I ended up going against this dude who lowkey bullied me as a kid. He was on pure Yang Zing back when they were thought to be this big game-changing meta threat, and I kicked his ass with pure Harpies lol Turns out Chaofeng can't do shit against Black Rose Moonlight Dragon.
On my Masochist run, I attacked into a face-down Gren Maju with 26 cards banished. Taking 8800 out of nowhere... I just had to laugh.
The loss that caused me to quit competitive tcg was during dragon rulers/spellbook/evilswarm format.
It was a locals and lord of tachyion galaxy came out a week before. I made sure no one in the locals owned a dracosak (bought them from everyone who opened them) and the locals was filled with evilswarm (which i had main deck hate against ophion) and i face a watt deck (gravity bind, level limit area B, summon limit)
On md i lost to a blue eyes while playing mikanko, why cause i placed the monster and spell on the same column of impern i activated. Attacked not realizing and lost, i killed myself
I swear it's our destiny as yugioh players to fuck the columns up with that card
4:48 For what it's worth, this was an illegal play. You can summon Reinoheart in the damage step, and send a Tear name with it, but you are not allowed to Fusion Summon during the Damage Step (all the Tear girls say "(except during the Damage Step)" as a reminder), so summoning Kaleido with Mother Grizzly is not possible.
I just had a game today on MD where I did FIVE game losing missplays that got me dying of embarassment and the opponent somehow didn't end the game right then. I felt like I was given four opportunities to redeem myself and wasted all of them.
I'm not really great at tracking specific loss stories, but I lost to a Swoswo player in Master Duel the other day because I forgot that I can't Nibiru after Scarlet Sanguine! That was a very silly of me. You'd think the Mayakashi player would be better at understanding xeno-locks.
I will never forget the time I missplayed in Master Duel, after a three hour grind from Silver upto Diamond. On my last win before diamond one, playing Megalith against Swordswoul.
All I needed to do was tribute Phuul, summon Bethor, pop the known Blackout, special summon Analyser, and then go into the Aurorodon line. End on two negates versus two cards in hand. I planned the whole line out.
And then I tried to retain the Phuul Bethor in hand to summon the second one from deck. And then Blackout was live.
Mine was summoning UDF three games in a row only to have it Triple Tac'd and turned into Zeus three games in a row. I even had Crossout set in the third game only to realize that my Triple Tac was banished by my opponents Diablosis.
Back a long time ago I was coping on Fabled at locals. I walked into a mirror force and next turn they flipped a graverobber to use my monster reborn for game...First and only time I have ever seen graverobber in a deck.
3:51 works in irl, ygopro, edopro, ygopro omega, and in master duel. I’m not sure about duel links since I don’t play that
Just yesterday I got infinite comboed by a drytron player in fusion xyz fest using arcana force XXI to keep skipping my turn and I mistimed my imperm to instead negate Beatrice who I didn't know was quick effect on the dump effect.
When i was returning to yugioh in winter of 2021 , and boy was the return to party i had abysmal ( keep in mind that i was only playing with only two of the "mechanised madness" structure deck"so it's the most jank sht ever)
First round out four; i get u linked
ok i guess it happens sometimes, oh well no big issue right?
Second round : i get mined, then the player who also mined me activated final countdown and prohibition call "twin twisters" ( my only backrow removal at the time, thankfully i had ine facedown but oh oh! *OLD MAN SAY NO* )
3RD round: .......you know that was actually not bad, it was a decent back and forth again code talkers, even tho i got *accesu intergrato* but yeah......i think I'm missing something
Oh yeah! I also got paired against litch, in it's hay day
My first time if going to locals btw
I'm still surprised i am actively playing after that
one time when i was teaching myself g golems i lost to a hero player because i was only playing 2 pebble dog. my line of thought was that the first pebble is ashbait to grab the second one, and the second one grabs gravity balance. little did i know that i needed to use all my available material to make trilithon, not even otk them with tri/crystal, and get caught next turn with no cards on field and no way to start plays.
recently at a 3v3 i lost while on rescue ace; i ended on set 4 darkfluid judgment pass, my opp goes lightning storm lightning storm harpies
Legitimately had the exact same sky striker experience at 5:38 on plunder in a last round of locals, havent loves it down since
2:40 - I had a similar experience. I swear *EVERY* game in Master Duel for like 50 games in a row was rigged. No matter how good/bad the deck/person I was playing against was they *ALWAYS* got the perfect cards turn 1. *HOURS* later I *FINALLY* played against a 60 card Blue-Eyes player, went in for something like 7900 damage ...only for them to reveal Mahaama. If the opponent wasn't operating with the intellect of a lobotomized chicken with its head cut off and actually used the burn effect I would've lost.
I know a guy in a continental that South America.
HE LOST IN THE FINALS WITH CYBER DRAGON WHEN HIS OPPONENT ACTIVATED MYSTIC MINE.
I don't remember what was playing their opponent.
What a Chad, calling the judge on yourself cause you accidently left a card in the side/extra
Yo let’s go I’m the dude that activated 2 anti-spell vs the pend player (JJPM), dude was scythe locking he deserves that shit lmao
When he said "by a Dino player who didn't have a mat" I thought the next part was going to be "...Who summoned Bishbaalkin and FTKed me".
I went against lab today in MD
Opened d-barrier, deck devastation big welcome
I tried to play through it I’m on runick spright fur hire, eh it won’t be that bad
Bro starts throwing kaijus out like I’m goddamn ultraman
I don't know if this counts, but I was playing in a small online tournament, my turn starts, IIRC my hand is looking pretty good, but at that moment I get called to bring the groceries into the house from the car. I immediately bolt for the car in an attempt to get the groceries in before my time limit runs out, but as soon as I reached the car, I knew I was not gonna have enough time.
Love when people don't read Crimson Nova the Dark Cubic Lord and target him to destroy and go "why isn't he destroyed" but they won't read him to see that he's unaffected by activated monster effects with an original attack of 3,000 or less. Then they die to the 3,000 burn damage he also does
Honestly I have to respect the players that, when they see they have a card in their extra that's not supposed to be there/have too big of a side deck, will call a judge over to get the loss. I know i'd be fine with it if the person I was playing told me "Hey can we go to game 2? I messed up and some of my main deck cards went into my extra". I've had that exact thing happen to me before (in a casual setting) and there's nothing more disappointing than seeing the card you need in a spot you'll never get them from
In the same vein as that Pendulum player trying to out Anti-Spell, I was dueling this kid playing Lab, and trying to out Skill Drain... turns out he opened with three of them, so I'd pop one, and he'd flip another.
when there was a locals in my area, I went to locals with my brother and my cousins, and, although it did not happen to me, my cousin lost to pre-errata dark strike fighter, but not because it was a broken card in the sense that it was pre-errata, but because he thought that dark strike fighter was a card that inflicted 2000 points of damage for each level on the monster tributed.
for me, when I was a kid, I found a stack of random cards sitting on a chair at what I think was a regional tournament (that my brother was playing in, he was also just a kid still) and played against someone who was playing full power teledad. with my cards held by a bundle of rubber bands that were not even mine, I got swept by my opponents ridiculously powerful hand. (I literally had marine neos in my extra deck and could not play it)
I also know that I delivered someone his worst loss when, in Game 3, I told him that he just killed himself by paying all of his remaining 1000 life points to activate his Heatsoul.
I've had a few over the years but mostly don't remember them. The one i hated most was at a locals a couple of months ago.
So i'm on Conclave Control and this asswipe across from me is not only on Branded but he's one of those "I don't read, i ask you to explain your cards" fuckwits. I managed to hold him off turn 2 after i went first, then OTK him, game 2 i brick. Game 3 i go first, hold him off, miss lethal by a few hunted but surely he can't out a board of conclave, miracle and 4 monsters right?
Well i'd never seen Blazing Cartesia till then, he did out the board and i had nothing left so he killed me over a couple of turns.
I have a friend who was on Branded and lost to Crystal Beasts. Whats bad about that? He lost to Double Ruby Carbuncle. JUST Double Ruby Carbuncle.
For the mother grizzely interaction you can't actually use the tear effects to fuse, if you summoned reino heart it shouldn'r do anything there.
when your favorite card game has literary turned into "just draw the out, bro"
Got VERY close to getting an example yesterday. Fusion XYZ festival (meaning Goddess is not on my extra deck), and I forgot to add Vespenato in her slot. Turn 1 they drop the usual unkillable Crooked Cook. THANK GOD for Amethyst Cat. After about 3 turns of dealing 600 damage he went for a Zeus, and I punished him HARD with Overdrive.
The worst loss i can remember was back when the new time rules just came by and i was playing noid vs gravekeeper, we were1-1, i was loosing by 100 points and my oppnent just refused to pass turn for 10 seconds , i had the clear play summon anything attack and win …. He just didnt passed turn…
