I do agree with MBT's point. I feel like the pool should have more small synergies instead of full archetypes that won't function if one or two cards get stolen. Still a great video tho!
I feel like having the key boss monsters of the archetypes literally be singletons in the draft while everything else is available in at least 2-ofs contributes to the issue. With how dry some packs can get there's literally no reason not to hate draft every singleton you see unless there's really something valuable for you due to how much it cripples anyone drafting into those strategies, especially in four person drafts where cards are wheeling often.
Even though it causes a huge power disparity, I love that Battlin Boxers and Evol are super strong while Salad is borderline unplayable. We never see the boxers, and rarely the dinos, but Salad shows up in like... every sealed series ever, and is meta playable, so I'm happy to see different strategies get represented.
@@Endershock1678 Admitedly, I think you just don't watch enough limited formats to know this is the 300th time someone used Lead Yoke to win. That card alone has consistently caused huge issues from both how easy it is to summon and how hard it is to remove.
Random idea for a potential draft. Alt win conditions. So like a bunch of unique winncons in the pile, while also having soem normal stuff. Would be cool to see some of the more obscure alt wins piloted by the cube
@uuh4yj43 I'm saying cards that are like different alt win cons. Like gimmick puppet Leo is not a good alt win condition. But its not a terrible card (gimmick puppet can get it out quite decently). And stuff like numeron could be interested
its too easy to hate draft, you can get a piece of destiny board, exodia or many others and thats it, other ones like flying elephant and stuff like that would be the only real option and playing with those cards suck
This is the first time I’ve really considered the power difference between Fire Decks pre 2024 and after. We really went from Flamvell & Laval to Snake Eyes & Fire King. What an insane disparity. Yugioh Year of Wind when.
I think the general approach for this draft was perfectly fine, but I think how each archetype was handled individually was maybe a little off. Fire King is made *so* much worse if anyone hate drafts the single Garunix, Salad was nerfed a little too much and lacks a win condition at all (Burst Gryphon is a big dude but he doesn't really do anything, especially without having two of em; i think having either rage or roar would've been fine), and it feels odd to say but I think Evol was maybe a bit too strong (and also, no one thought to snipe those)? Battlin Boxer looked insane, but i think that was moreso due to no one thinking to snipe any of those cards either lol. Gage got *real* lucky with those that said, still a real fun episode overall :)
Correcting Farfa on the 6 Heatleo guy, he didnt top a regional, he was a content creator here in Brazil, and made a video showcasing the structure deck, on the video he made a deck using only 3 copies of the structure deck and since the deck came with copies of the card with different artworks, he assumed they were different cards, but he never used the deck in any tournament, it was just made for the video
38:12 I can't believe I'm saying this but Farfa is actually correct here; despite the fact Lead Yoke's name is referring to carrying a literal Lead (Pb) Yoke in the artwork, so every logical fibre of one's being screams it being pronounced as such, it is (for whatever reason) actually supposed to be pronounced "lead" (as in lead side) phonetically, even in Japanese. Can't blame people for pronouncing it like the element though, as that is really how it ought to be pronounced logically (even if it's technically wrong).
Gotta also remember that his Japanese name isn't even Lead Yoke, its Lead Blow, so there's no abnormal emphasis on the Yoke itself in the name. If it was Battlin' Boxer Lead Blow in English I bet fewer people would have pronounced it Pb. I think the English translates were trying to be cheeky but inadvertently ruined the pronunciation clarity of the name.
I think a theft cube would be a cool one to see. Graydles, Santa Claws, Remove Brainwashing, Switcheroo, Change of Heart, Aliens, Kaijus, Hinezumi Hanabi, Wonky Quartet, etc.
Hi Farfa. I have to say this is my favorite yugioh youtube series on youtube and want to thank you for the entertaining content and continue the cube series! I wanted to help and share some ideas I have that you can do for a cube are: - An Edison cube (Only cards you can use in edison in the cube) (You should Invite ruxin to this one) - A individual cube for the remaining few attributes (Dark, Light, Wind, or Earth cubes) - A Fusion strategy focused cube (Cube includes fusion cards and stuff that works with poly etc) - A burn cube (The cube includes mostly burn cards and cards that inflicts damage to the opponent) (An additional idea on this is you could make the starting LP 4000 instead) - A specific Arc cube (Like this cube would be decks from a certain era within the anime) (Example: If you did a 5D’s cube, you can include the most popular decks from that anime like blackwing, resonator, rose dragon, stardust, junk, etc. - A trap cube (A cube that only includes only trap cards) - A Spell cube (A cube that only includes spell cards) Hope this reaches you and maybe one or a few of these ideas get used.
@@pauldurbey1787 the burn cube winds up with Farfa running the “Bro Drew” strategy from the 2025 event, but on a larger scale. Edit for pre-emptive clarity: I wanna see a meta “Bro Drew” burn deck.
@MiyaoMeow588 There were 4 people and 4 good archetypes to go into plus jurracs and genrics. Dezeef's salad drafts screwed over MBT's deck consistency while Gage and Farfa were pretty unopposed in their archetypes. It seemed like there were always going to be 2 good decks, a slope deck, and a deck whose consistency was ruined by whatever archtype the slope deck took the most away from (in this case salad but could have easily ruined BB or FK by stealing 6 important cards)
@@GreyVictory1510 I feel like they could have just chosen a different Fire archetype rather than making such an unplayable shell of Salad in there. Like we didn't have to put Salad in the cube. Hazy Flame, Flamvell, the new Flame Swordsman cards, Infernoble, etc etc
I liked how MBT heaped praise on Doug's value deck and how it followed principles of limited compared to the turbo strategies, only for both value decks to eat s**t to turbo strategies
just under the video, right next to his account name, Farfa, should be a button that says Join. If you're on mobile, the button should be on the far right, either location it is next to the bell icon to turn on notifications. I hope this helps!
This series is AWESOME. Limited gameplay of TCG’s is such an incredible way to play. It demands so much of the player in such a fun and creative way. Maybe a future cube idea could be a remastered version of the Battle Pack sets; generic playables that don’t have inherent synergy, but can play well with one another depending on picks. 3:24
This was an amazing episode. The decks were unique and all of the duels were fun like always and the banter was funny. A great way to kick off 2025. Farfa, you’re definitely rocking it with this cube challenge and I can’t wait to see what you do next with this fun way to duel. Great job Nadir, Doug, Joseph and Gage and I can’t wait to see what you guys do next. Also 🎉🥳🎊 hope you had a Happy New Year 🎊🥳🎉.
After watching this live and then edited, I do basically agree that I prefer a cube with more synergy based and less archetype based. Means it’s a little harder to hate draft and doesn’t just become who drafted the most of their archetype cards.
Its pronounced Leed Yoke and you can literally look at the Japanese card to prove it cause リード (Riido) and レッド (Reddo) aren't written the same. This is his OCG Name: ＢＫ拘束蛮兵リードブロー (Bāningu Nakkurā Kōsokubanbei Rīdoburō)
Ive been meaning to try putting together a cube of Weird Free Agents, stuff like Silent Wolf Calupo, Miradora, Eka the Flame Buddy, some of the generic Illusions, yknow what I mean? That could be a fun theme.
Idea for a draft, fallen of albaz lore (I think everyone would need to get polys for free but it could work) so stuff like despia, dogmatika, tri brigade, spriggans, etc
I love how the wonky quartet is joining forces to dominate the yugitubing community. They bring so much joy and fun with their approach to the game, which I think is the future of this game's content creation.
Once you're done with attributes you can explore type groups. Like insects / plants / reptiles. Or dragons warriors and spellcasters for example, with all having several generic support cards. Basically do what Konami refuses to do for monthly fun events. And add Maxx c to the insect group lol. There are so many other n/r/sr good generic cards like titanocider, lost wind, imperm, monster reborn, rota, dark hole, raigeki etc, cards that everyone owns or wouldn't break the bank that you can include in these too. This one turned out interesting but felt like less of a draft and more of a master roulette.
An idea for two cubes could be a hero and villain style cube. One having the main strategies of the MC of each season of the anime, and another their main rival/villain
I played evols way back when they were actually a really stong deck in 2013. But people were just on the Chaos grind back then. But with the slower playstyle of how yugioh was they filled in a perfect as long as you got weslo off, which was easy back then, you had a pretty solid board. And Sollda was super slept on. Protection, plus it could respond to any special summon, not just inherent ones. The only unfortunate part was that sollda didn't negate the summon, but most of the time was good enough. Unfortunately they weren't Spellbooks, or chaos, or wind-up good.
A draft with the different alt-types for maindecks could be fun - Spirits, Gemini, Toon, and Union, with a cultured power level and some older "powerhouse" cards like BLS mixed in with newer things that never saw play, like Amaterasu.
A cool future theme could just be a monster type, like Fairy, Aqua, Fish, or Fiend or something. Playing a FIRE draft is good and all, but it forces people to try and make an archetype work and it's possible to hate draft them out. While it is sick to see something like Evolsaur hit the field, if two players both went for Salad, you just get 2 kinda weak decks since neither could get all the Salad cards they needed. If you just have Fairy synergy pile or some such, with spells and traps that work with each other, that might be neat since it's hard to wind up with something weak/unplayable - The fire king cards were a great example, you just needed some kind of FIRE monster which you would always have in order to make the fire king card work. In short, cards that care about the theme of the draft (FIRE in this case) rather than being locked into the archetype (Salad, Evol, Battlin' Boxer). Tri-types would be a good version of this too if only one type is too restrictive to make an interesting cube.
I would like if these were closer to mtg limited drafts where you have to evaluate individual cards rather than like "tunnel into archetype and hope nobody hate drafts you", cuz we basically got "shitty constructed boxer" vs "shitty constructed evol" vs 2 limited decks. I was really expecting the Fire draft to be like idk backfire burn, solar flare dragon, raging flame sprite type stuff and it just felt like a saga episode where 2 people pulled nothing and had to play slop.
Doing a HAT format draft would be interesting. Especially if you had limited number of ice/ fire hands because that strategy really relies on three of each and hate drafting would be very viable
I would love to see a cube focused on cards that revolve around zones and columns. I think it potential for crazy mind games and its criminally under supported by Konami nowadays.
You know what how about an Aqua draft with ice jade ,Gunkan, penguin and aqua actress? All 4 have pretty distinct game plans and you can have the Paleos be generic support for all decks
When I assisted with decks for a Gta rper, it was very hard to find a balance with multiple builders all wanting to put their vision thus the balance wasn't as good as I originally hoped it would. This only applies if multiple people worked on the draft, if it was just one, then I am sorry but the balancing wasn't up to par and you should definitely seek additional advice and help when constructing formats. You have to give everyone an equal chance to either high roll or low roll and consider the cards as a whole rather then specific combos that can be achieved.
If we're picking silly cubes I'd love to see the top like 4-6 decks (with much fewer staples if any in the cube) of a format would be great to see. Mainly because I think the competitive, deck important cards will be hate drafted & so everyone will end up with a weird pile
Rank/link/level 2 draft could be cool. Melffys, Sprights, Paleos, Frogs, and maybe some tangentially related stuff like Live Twins, Runicks, or Purrelys.
Fun little suggestion. Wonky Quartet vs. the Three Idiots. Dzeef being a part of both can be an excuse to make it 3 vs. 3. Farfa, Gage, and MBT vs. Seereax, Dzeef, and Doto. Maybe a Tier battle. Spin a wheel for the Tier for each match and the two opponents spin a wheel for that Tier to choose their decks. Best 2 out of 3 for the three different matches win.
This may be a terrible idea but I would like to see a Fairy-type draft since a lot of fairy archetypes have this weird thing where they're like half archetype locked and half type locked so I think a cube like that would be funny
I think Hazy Flame would have been a neat include over something like Salad, especially if they were gonna make them this bad anyways. If we wanna show off the lesser seen fire decks, we can just not put in Salad or FK at all.
a cube that uses under used summoning mechanics like tribute summoning, spirits, ritual, maybe even some normal monster control with spiral. just a bunch of wonky summoning mechanics. alternativly tribute summon only box would also be funny. basicly monarc vs true draco vs floo vs simorg etc.
I know its not always easy or feasible to do these big colabs but as a viewer, I definitely click on them more than just watching 1 content creator do deck highlights or weird master duel challenges. Yugi apes together strong
Okay another theme you guys can do is chaos decks, but without any chaos monsters. Make it kind of like goat format where all the low level and atk monsters are the effects that are actually good and important, and all the high level monsters are pretty much just beat sticks.
I think that a tri type draft would be cool beast/winged beast/beast warrior, reptile/plant/insect, dino/wyrm/reptile and I think theres another I forgot.
9:14 - I don't think that's particularly tactically viable if it can only negate the summons of Bill Tin. What if someone with a different name summons monsters? 10:00 - I'm also unfamiliar with the Goon Can Suship and don't what to know what they're transporting to/from Gooners... 46:12 - Unless I'm not at the impact site's epicenter this is one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard. "Would you rather get crushed like an orange under a pneumatic press by a giant fist out of nowhere and be guaranteed to die or just fall down a hole and potentially live?"
Next cube do tri types and include limited copies of tri type engines like tri brigade, giving folks options to pivot several type related avenues or focus on one type exclusively
I do agree with MBT's point. I feel like the pool should have more small synergies instead of full archetypes that won't function if one or two cards get stolen. Still a great video tho!
I feel like having the key boss monsters of the archetypes literally be singletons in the draft while everything else is available in at least 2-ofs contributes to the issue. With how dry some packs can get there's literally no reason not to hate draft every singleton you see unless there's really something valuable for you due to how much it cripples anyone drafting into those strategies, especially in four person drafts where cards are wheeling often.

- An Edison cube (Only cards you can use in edison in the cube) (You should Invite ruxin to this one)
- A individual cube for the remaining few attributes (Dark, Light, Wind, or Earth cubes)
- A Fusion strategy focused cube (Cube includes fusion cards and stuff that works with poly etc)
- A burn cube (The cube includes mostly burn cards and cards that inflicts damage to the opponent) (An additional idea on this is you could make the starting LP 4000 instead)
- A specific Arc cube (Like this cube would be decks from a certain era within the anime) (Example: If you did a 5D’s cube, you can include the most popular decks from that anime like blackwing, resonator, rose dragon, stardust, junk, etc.

You have to give everyone an equal chance to either high roll or low roll and consider the cards as a whole rather then specific combos that can be achieved.
If we're picking silly cubes I'd love to see the top like 4-6 decks (with much fewer staples if any in the cube) of a format would be great to see.
Mainly because I think the competitive, deck important cards will be hate drafted & so everyone will end up with a weird pile
Rank/link/level 2 draft could be cool. Melffys, Sprights, Paleos, Frogs, and maybe some tangentially related stuff like Live Twins, Runicks, or Purrelys.
Love to see the wonkey quartet all playing together at once
Fun little suggestion. Wonky Quartet vs. the Three Idiots. Dzeef being a part of both can be an excuse to make it 3 vs. 3. Farfa, Gage, and MBT vs. Seereax, Dzeef, and Doto.
Maybe a Tier battle. Spin a wheel for the Tier for each match and the two opponents spin a wheel for that Tier to choose their decks.
Best 2 out of 3 for the three different matches win.
This may be a terrible idea but I would like to see a Fairy-type draft since a lot of fairy archetypes have this weird thing where they're like half archetype locked and half type locked so I think a cube like that would be funny
I think Hazy Flame would have been a neat include over something like Salad, especially if they were gonna make them this bad anyways. If we wanna show off the lesser seen fire decks, we can just not put in Salad or FK at all.
The equip trap can be used in the damage step. There are fiend with chain rules for this
How do i help fix the cube draft becausw this Is Suffering /// but yea WIND next time
Why is MBT the only one who isn't spasming out?
The fire kings are insane for this format even just as one ofs. Like rangballi and arvata don't need more than themselves and a fire to kick ass
a cube that uses under used summoning mechanics like tribute summoning, spirits, ritual, maybe even some normal monster control with spiral. just a bunch of wonky summoning mechanics. alternativly tribute summon only box would also be funny. basicly monarc vs true draco vs floo vs simorg etc.
the blackout curtain gy effect coming up was crazy
I'd throw an application into playing the cube if a spot's ever needed ❤️ 😉
Can you put the card list in the description?
Also... is there cube lists somewhere?
I watched the stream VOD but I have absolutely zero recollection except Farfa's deck choice so this is basically a brand-new video
51:28 damn, that econ went so hard.
I know its not always easy or feasible to do these big colabs but as a viewer, I definitely click on them more than just watching 1 content creator do deck highlights or weird master duel challenges. Yugi apes together strong
I was really hoping you guys were coincidentally eating hot wings just like Sam and Seereax
Okay another theme you guys can do is chaos decks, but without any chaos monsters. Make it kind of like goat format where all the low level and atk monsters are the effects that are actually good and important, and all the high level monsters are pretty much just beat sticks.
Love these Cube duels!
I think a old school duel monsters cube with blue eyes, red eyes, dark magician, and toon would be fun, including all the new legacy support.
Farfa clapping moms back in the day, the goat
Can't find the Playlist for this series plz help
genetic warrior cube would go crazy, they keep printing support for those guys
A big archetype like d/d/d as a draft theme could be cool, everyone is the same archetype
I’d love to see flip effect monsters. Could go crazy
I would love to see a draft with just op strategies/cards to see who can pilot or grief better
Me: Fire Kings!
Farfa: Hate drafts Fire Kings 😈
I think that a tri type draft would be cool beast/winged beast/beast warrior, reptile/plant/insect, dino/wyrm/reptile and I think theres another I forgot.
My suggestion for a cube: Duel Terminal cube! Those old cards have a bunch of crossover synergies, anti-synergies, and most importantly….LOOOOORE
Theme for a cube: oops all HERO. the cube is literally filled with HEROS and poly cards
I love how Salads are just the best deck in almost every lower powered format they're allowed in.
MBT being punished by his hubris of thinking "they are fine as a starter deck for links"
Its nice to see boxers get some love
21:21 the "Who?" broke my heart a little bit
I think a TCG exclusive draft would be exceptionally funny
A cube with monster that have weird stat lines that end with 50 or another number could be something.
9:14 - I don't think that's particularly tactically viable if it can only negate the summons of Bill Tin. What if someone with a different name summons monsters?
10:00 - I'm also unfamiliar with the Goon Can Suship and don't what to know what they're transporting to/from Gooners...
46:12 - Unless I'm not at the impact site's epicenter this is one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard. "Would you rather get crushed like an orange under a pneumatic press by a giant fist out of nowhere and be guaranteed to die or just fall down a hole and potentially live?"
i believe michigan is the one without "the water".
My body is a Shield that Defends Dinos🗣️🔥
I’m actually really curious, as a person who lives in Philly what school did gage go to in Philly
Farfa wanted something he could win to prove that his bad run on Master Saga 6 wasn't reflective of his ability
Next cube do tri types and include limited copies of tri type engines like tri brigade, giving folks options to pivot several type related avenues or focus on one type exclusively
