They need a continuous spell/trap that sets both players' life points so that its owner is always 1 life point higher. Then you keep paying half until you get to 1 life with dinomorphia or something
For Rescue Ace, the irony that a fire attribute archetype doesn't have a time card, but also fitting that the fire fighter archetype doesn't have a burn card.
@@SoniChris98could be an interesting support concepts to have: a card that burns your life point to add a R-ace to hand, if that card leaves the field you gain the LP back. Not a time card, but a cool unique effect.
@@SoniChris98 Fire fighters are technically professional arsonist. Sometimes they do have to set things on fire in order to prevent the spread of fire, such as the woods to prevent brushfires or for maintenance of the forest, so rescue ace should have a burn card and it would still be theme. Hell they could call it something in reference to woods. Im saying this as someone who used to do Emergency work, and grew up in a firehouse half my childhood in regards to calling them professional arsonist.
6:10 During Tear 0 Format I genuinely drew against someone playing Witchcrafter with Emergency Rations as their time card. They were a returning player and the first game took ages, because I had to explain so much from cards to game rules and mechanics. Game 2 started, time was called and they activated this. Couldn't even be mad.
I tied with a Floo player once playing Abyss Actor under D Shifter because I summoned 3 after paying 1000 for Madonna then gained 1500 from opening ceremony. He played Advent and we both had 8500 in time
I still remember topping a Regional with Madolche in 2020 and one of the games I won in time due to being able to make a Gagaga Cowboy as time was called in Game 3. Needless to say, that Altergeist player was NOT happy!
it really is funny how cowboy for game was so strong when the game was so slow that doing 800 extra damage was a relevant push and now that the game has become so fast that we don't have time to play it out he comes back to once again give people kill shots
8:33 there are like 3 people at my locals who do this with every deck they play and it pisses me off so much lol. They sure are slow until they're the ones down lifepoints in game 3 and time is about to run out.
The funniest time burn I've ever pulled off was against Chaos Thunder Dragon. I was about to conceed before realizing I had enough material for one last jape. I combo'ed through a bunch of Destiny Hero plays before playing Fusion Destiny and burning with Dystopia for game. It was the only game I won that tourney, and the only game my opponent lost, meaning that he got dragged down due to my performance. Have never tried to do that again, but I have been getting a similar thrill from big Longyuan summoned off of regular Longyuan.
This video sent me back.Does anyone from Southern California remember a guy named Kirk who ran a group called Team Enigma with his son back in the day? This dude was responsible for making mystic wok and emergency provisions meta in our area because they would slow play the hell out of people.
A thing I read once is that a way to improve ygo's time rules is to make the game end at the end of your opponent's turn. Right now it's at the end of your current phase, but if it was at the end of your opponent's turn, then both players would actually hurry up to pass the turn to the opponent, and get the last turn. Chances are, the games will end much faster, neither player would be incentiviced to stall even for a bit as to be as efficient as possible, etc.
I was playing when this was still a rule and frankly time has told that the current rules are better. Not for player satisfaction but because in tournament setting the rounds would go to long which was a problem for other players who wanted to start their round or for and more importantly venue booking. This did also help save Players time who would spend a superfluous amount of time at events. From a gameplay standpoint it’s the better choice but irl settings it’s been a big help.
I won time with Fire Fist at YCS London 2019 after thinking I didn't have anything, then remembering I played the fusion monster Fire Fist Swan, which does 200 damage for every Formation on your board. I was about to handshake for the Draw, too.
As someone who plays Drytron, Cyber Angel Natascha is a good pick. It can be summoned if you only have one material left, even after getting the ritual spell back from grave. It can get you a min. of 500, and a max. of 2k off of either Drytron Ritual/Chaos MAX Dragon. I'll admit, I've yet to bring my Drytron deck to any event, but Nat is just a fun option.
Time is real. With the amount of time losses and draws I've been getting, I started playing Gustav max in tg that I make off of baronne and blade blaster if need be. Then, if i still have time for a battle phase, i hit with a 3000 beater and overlay into zues second main
My *very first* game back to constructed (Nats 2022 format), I'm playing Dino and go up against a Boarder Stun player. Time gets called, I Cowboy him and the whole local pops off.
Any deck that can make level 7 synchros could play lightning warrior. It burns for 300 for each card in your opponents hand when it kills a monster by battle. But to totally honest, the best burn card that isn't an extra deck monster is probably secret barrel. It does a good amount of damage for literally free and takes no thought (thus, no time) to set up. Just set it and pass. Stall all you need to before that and hope your opponent can't get to the battle phase quick enough.
wait, random thought, why cant we use like the chess slap timer for players turns like how master duel can swap between players timers for interaction no i did not think this through every little action and reaction players would make i just thought it would be funny
That’d be horrible. “Draw in Draw phase” *click* “No response” *click* “Leaving Draw phase” *click* “No response” *click* “Standby phase” *click* “No response” *click* “Leaving standby” *click* “No response” *click* “Start of Main phase” All of that just to get to the main phase, Yugioh drags on enough as it is, chess clock would be terrible.
@jk844100 maybe just make it a "thinking" button, where you can go off with your plays until your opponent presses it to decide whether or not they want to respond
@@Rahnonymous no because that requires a complete rewriting of the priority rules. You need to allow your opponent a response window after every action. You can’t just go off until your opponent tells you to stop.
The reason is that tournaments have to actually end. They changed their time rules because of people playing 15-20 minutes after time to finish the current turn and the next 2 turns. Then current turn led to issues because the turn player got a BP, leading to slow play so it wouldn't switch back till time. Now it's at the end of the current phase. If you just passed back and forth like in chess that wouldn't work because you can do actions on the opponent's turn. Plus in chess, I'm pretty sure you just lose if your timer runs out. Master Duel has shown how shitty of a way that is to lose.
@@DoctorOaks you don’t always lose in chess if you run out of time. There are things called “run out of time Vs. Insufficient material”. Which means you ran out of time but there is no combination of moves that your opponent could perform in order to beat you. You had the game won but ran out of time. That results in a draw.
should do one on Anti-time cards like how in game 3 of purrely vs salad my opponent activates My Friend Purrely with like 3 minutes on the clock, continues comboing and then passed turn with like a minute on the clock and then i like normal summon gazelle when time gets called and im like "soo,,,,,, i win, right?"
Hot take: Meow Meow Mu can come back to 3 when considering PrankKids power. It’ll be tier 2 MAYBE. However, with the current time rules Prank is unbeatable game 3 so we just need better time rules.
Joseph not even talking about the based effect of Opening Ceremony where if it's destroyed by an opponent's card while set it lets you draw UNTIL you have 5 cards in hand. Yes this card reads DRAW 5 and it's still mostly just used as a cheap way to activate Madonna's on-field effect or as cost fodder for Raiser. Insane.
I have said it before and I said it again time rules are dumb as fuck hp total is a pissppoor representation of who would win a game if played out and at that. If someone in the chess community seriously came along and said "hey guys our tournements are getting way too long because people take to long on their turn so lets just give two people a combined 30 minutes and randomly count material at the end point to see who is winning" he would get laughed out of the room and rightly so. and that is WITH material on board being a 1 billion times better representation compared to hp total in yugioh. Of course turn switching on a chess clock is slightly harder to get done and the process would have to be modified a bit for passing priority e.g. you would probably switch your own clock on during an opponents combo for a response but even that could make duelling more smooth. not as smooth as the brain of the person who desinged time rules though
If I had seen this twitter thread, I think I would've just instantly slammed down a picture of Volcanic Emperor. It may not be one of those old time cards, but it's still one that can even outburn Gustav Max turn 1.
Live twin also has a time card in Sunny's Snitch. "While you control an "Evil★Twin" monster, each time your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster(s), you gain 200 LP, and if you do, inflict 200 damage to your opponent." Just control any Evil Twin and watch them tax/burn themselves for time on round.
no Ghost Sister and Spooky Dogwood? that card became meta during Ishizu Tearlaments because they took so long to resolve all of their chains that it was better to just gain an insane amount of lifepoints and wait for time to run out
I will forever be grateful to Fire Cracker for winning me a round at 250th YCS London. Had a very grindy game vs a branded player and searched it off alem with 30s left and the look on his face was something I’ll never forget. (sorry!)
8:59 oh boy can't wait for the next junior journey episode! surely it's coming anytime soon! (I hope ur guests are living their best lives instead of dealing with the future of the universe)
Just make a Rescue-ACE-X Fire Hydrant. No, not like that but a hydrant spewing flames instead of water, basically a stationary flamethrower. If you wanna give him some lore just say he failed the Rescue-ACE exam and has now sworn revenge on them by setting stuff on fire.
Runick with emergency provisions is funny if its set on opponents turn. They burn you and try to end the phase, so you just chain a bunch of runick cards and chain emergency provisions, sending everything to gain 4k or something lol
My favorite one is that for all DDD's self-burn that makes them less than great in time, they do have D'Arc. You played her strictly as a stepping stone but not only could she give you life off a Ragnarok trigger or whatever she could turn off a lot of opposing time cards.
In January 2023 I used Agave dragon to win 4 rounds at a regional with bystial thunder dragon. The deck could pump out link 4s for breakfast and was really the only time card the deck could consistently make. A judge shadowed my rounds a lot and he chuckled every time he saw the line to agave dragon. And in 1 particular round it took my opponent (playing tear) and I the entire round to even deal damage to each other. I was 1400 away from game and I somehow had 16 dragons in my graveyard to burn him for game.
It's an interesting concept while cards are considered "bad cards" because the modern Metagame that most cards in circulation are broken. Now what are broken cards? cards that can control or completely alter a game state. Some are more acceptable than others. But broken cards are still broken cards. Most modern cards are semi broken/broken depending on how they interact.
Surprised no one mentioned spooky dogwood I seen people use that game 3 to cheese some wins also I sadly seen people use marshmellon as a time card as well
As someone whom played in Nats a year or two before current time rules came about, I have to say I'd happily take current time rules over going into 45 minutes of time each round for like 10 rounds and then coming back in early next morning to finish day 1. Cuz ya know, that's what we did before current time rules.
Yeah I stand by the time rules being a net positive to the game. I don’t care if I lose because someone burns me in time nearly as much as I care about leaving a venue at 1:30 am.
I had a Purrley player drop condemned darklord on me in time after I fought tooth and nail to win game 1 with Tear and wanted to punch him in the jaw. At least I found out later he went 0/2/1
Funniest I've seen is someone main decking Condemned Witch for Forbidden Droplet searching, then side decking Nurse Reficule to summon off of it on a Quick Effect. They played no other reverse burn cards, was just there to catch out people trying to gain LP in the final turn phase of the match.
rescue ace has a time card it's the charmer fire card that can summon itself from deck and burn. I lost my 9th round of ycs richmond to this as my 3rd loss and didn't make day 2 :(
I had a big argument with the HJ and Konami when I was judging Edison at our nationals and YCS Utrecht over the time rules. Sadly, it makes perfect sense to use modern policy. If we use old rules, the public events last significantly longer because some table is going to a fat overtime every round.
And then there are decks like Exosister that just inherently cost you a bunch of lifepoint to setup a board. I remember at my first YCS, I went into game 3 against an Eldlitch Stun Player with like 8 minutes left on the clock. Never was more stressed, trying to do my setup combo as fast as possible and kinda just hoping I could get him to pass back to me or surrender before time was called.
Not saying i like these time rules, but i do absolutely hate losing to time in master duel when I'm heavily in advantage because I'm playing a deck like vs and i have to think for 0.0000001 seconds
It sucks but it forces me to make quick decisions under pressure. Which can help in real life so aint so bad. Luckily you get bonus time when you pass turns
O.K. I feel kind of dumb, but are time rules different in OCG? Or are the current rules different? I never heard of these "End of phase" rules. We always do "extra turn" when we run out of time then go by life.
Funny enough my most recent Regionals was won by a guy who in the final round was 4-0 against my buddy also 4-0, he won on time with.......Gagaga Cowboy. Also saw him do it earlier in the day too.
So I got to use the Agave Damage to win. This was a playground format and I was playing a deck comprised of 3 Branded Structures and some cheap things I bought online. I was able to get out Mirrorjade early so my graveyard with the Branded Dragons. my opponent destroyed my backrow and I had a set Waking Dragon. to flex I brought out Agave. One of us had to wrap it up to go to class but I Agave burnt him just enough for me to win.
Can someone, kindly, explain what time cards means? I mean the time rule in ygo? How does that work and why it matters? I honestly thought it’s the same with MD where both have the same time they can use to combo and interact and the person who exhausted theirs first loses to time limit.
In an in-person tournament you have a round timer, usually of 45 to 50 minutes to complete your best of three match. If you run out of time then time is called. What happens next depends on the card game. Some tcgs and things right then and there and make the game a draw. Some give you X additional turns for people to win the game before it is declared a draw. Yu-Gi-Oh says currently that whoever has more life points at the end of the phase wins. Thus a time card, like those explained and explored in this video, are cards to let you gain LP or inflict direct damage so you can cheat out a win at the last second.
If Vaalmonica ever becomes relevant all the "guaranteed effects" say lose the duel and all the effects with variance become time cards whicu is kinda funny
Actually since gokipole could search it and mothman, pre ishizu casino tear could play skull mark ladybug very well. Cowboy was probably still better though.
I remember back before the Time rule was a thing and my friend and I were dueling in this local tournament in 2007 he was playing some beast deck and I was playing water pile with random nonsense I had lost game 1 but won game 2 because my friend didn’t read Neo Spacian Grand Mole and tried to bring it out with some card that brought a beast monster before we both realized that for some odd reason it was a ROCK game 2 goes to me because a judge called time and saw what happened after he asked for him, judge also called the round since our game was taking a while tells us in game 3 first to inflict damage or gain life points wins game 3, I went first and the first card I played was Goblin Thief a card that inflicts 500burn damage and lets you gain 500 life points , my friend couldn’t believe it, and yeah I was the guy who played all kinds random shit like dice jar and barrel behind the door because I thought it was funny.
I managed to go gagaga cowboy AND super conductor tyranno on my first turn against shaddoll/tearlament/ branded back in early 2023. The guy couldn’t recover ( note he took so long game 1 that game 2 was only 6 minutes. ) we drew but it was funny watching him sweat
So since time is proceed to end of current phase and not end of opponent's turn, do yugioh duels at the tournament level ever go to time during turn one and the going second player just doesnt get to play?
I won more than a few matches playing Salamangreat by getting Parro off of Stallio and gaining 2000. Straight up one of my favorite names in the archetype for that
mikanko runs axe of fools and it is the worst time card in the deck it negates an opponents monster, gives it 1000 attack and during your standby phase burns for 500, its good it turns mikanko rivalry into a time card a monster negate and a spell negate with angel ring, but if you just need a time card you just grab mikanko spiritwalk instead because it burns instantly

Damn, that sold out FAST.
They need to print a time card that doesn’t just gain you life point but matches your life points with the opponents+1 life point. Exactly 1.
Imagine you pull that off, only for your opponent to use Psy End Punisher's attack gain effect for a WHOLE WHOPPING 1 ATTACK GAIN
It would still be immune as well@@Rahnonymous
Finally, Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca's 1 atk stat will matter
They need a continuous spell/trap that sets both players' life points so that its owner is always 1 life point higher.
Then you keep paying half until you get to 1 life with dinomorphia or something
What if you have more life points than your opponent and play it?

My favorite one is that for all DDD's self-burn that makes them less than great in time, they do have D'Arc. You played her strictly as a stepping stone but not only could she give you life off a Ragnarok trigger or whatever she could turn off a lot of opposing time cards.
Says more about how bad the game is that “time” cards are a thing.
In January 2023 I used Agave dragon to win 4 rounds at a regional with bystial thunder dragon. The deck could pump out link 4s for breakfast and was really the only time card the deck could consistently make. A judge shadowed my rounds a lot and he chuckled every time he saw the line to agave dragon. And in 1 particular round it took my opponent (playing tear) and I the entire round to even deal damage to each other. I was 1400 away from game and I somehow had 16 dragons in my graveyard to burn him for game.
It's an interesting concept while cards are considered "bad cards" because the modern Metagame that most cards in circulation are broken. Now what are broken cards? cards that can control or completely alter a game state. Some are more acceptable than others. But broken cards are still broken cards. Most modern cards are semi broken/broken depending on how they interact.
Surprised no one mentioned spooky dogwood I seen people use that game 3 to cheese some wins also I sadly seen people use marshmellon as a time card as well
As someone whom played in Nats a year or two before current time rules came about, I have to say I'd happily take current time rules over going into 45 minutes of time each round for like 10 rounds and then coming back in early next morning to finish day 1. Cuz ya know, that's what we did before current time rules.
Yeah I stand by the time rules being a net positive to the game. I don’t care if I lose because someone burns me in time nearly as much as I care about leaving a venue at 1:30 am.
Neko mane king will always be the funniest time card in full power Tear format
Evil Thorn. Tribute to burn 300 then summon 2 more from deck to make whatever busted Link-2 of the format was.
I had a Purrley player drop condemned darklord on me in time after I fought tooth and nail to win game 1 with Tear and wanted to punch him in the jaw. At least I found out later he went 0/2/1
But mbt rescue ace did get a time card, it’s called red louts king, flame crime
Noble arms - Caliburn for infernoble can gain you at minimum 500 LP but can go up to 2k with the correct sequencing
Fur Hire actually have two time Cards, funny enough. Wiz heals, Sagitta burns
The scott pilgrim nod had me jazzed ^0^
i love when editors correct something and you can hear the annoyance in their voice lmao ty dire
Funniest I've seen is someone main decking Condemned Witch for Forbidden Droplet searching, then side decking Nurse Reficule to summon off of it on a Quick Effect. They played no other reverse burn cards, was just there to catch out people trying to gain LP in the final turn phase of the match.
Time cards are very situational but interesting plays do happen and that's where the fun begins as you learn.
While i have never played agave as a time card, i have played agave dragon to ftk with flare metal and gelenduo
rescue ace has a time card it's the charmer fire card that can summon itself from deck and burn. I lost my 9th round of ycs richmond to this as my 3rd loss and didn't make day 2 :(
I had a big argument with the HJ and Konami when I was judging Edison at our nationals and YCS Utrecht over the time rules. Sadly, it makes perfect sense to use modern policy. If we use old rules, the public events last significantly longer because some table is going to a fat overtime every round.
I really didn’t expect Scott Pilgrim here. I’m pleasantly surprised
Win with a red resonator with the primordial being token my opponent give is a nice memory
And then there are decks like Exosister that just inherently cost you a bunch of lifepoint to setup a board.
I remember at my first YCS, I went into game 3 against an Eldlitch Stun Player with like 8 minutes left on the clock.
Never was more stressed, trying to do my setup combo as fast as possible and kinda just hoping I could get him to pass back to me or surrender before time was called.
Not saying i like these time rules, but i do absolutely hate losing to time in master duel when I'm heavily in advantage because I'm playing a deck like vs and i have to think for 0.0000001 seconds
I have been literally SECONDS away from winning games and just lost to time lol
It sucks but it forces me to make quick decisions under pressure. Which can help in real life so aint so bad. Luckily you get bonus time when you pass turns
Probably the wackiest time card I've ever seen was a Dinomorphia player siding in Reversal Quiz. The man Thrusted for it 😂
Anyone else remember playing Salamangreat Parro in the side deck for time in the beginning of TOSS format?
It's funny how Cowboy for game came back into existance.
O.K. I feel kind of dumb, but are time rules different in OCG? Or are the current rules different? I never heard of these "End of phase" rules. We always do "extra turn" when we run out of time then go by life.
Ultimate Falcon is one of the funnier time cards. Its a towers that also randomly burns for 1000 during each end phase.
only if it has material. It's not doing that if you summon it off waking the dragon
@@xatuyou8045 bruv nobody mentioned waking the dragon
why would rescue ace have a burn card?????
Funny enough my most recent Regionals was won by a guy who in the final round was 4-0 against my buddy also 4-0, he won on time with.......Gagaga Cowboy. Also saw him do it earlier in the day too.
That "yeah yeah yeah" i feel for that. Thats me any time i go against a combo deck that i dont have a response for
So I got to use the Agave Damage to win. This was a playground format and I was playing a deck comprised of 3 Branded Structures and some cheap things I bought online. I was able to get out Mirrorjade early so my graveyard with the Branded Dragons. my opponent destroyed my backrow and I had a set Waking Dragon. to flex I brought out Agave. One of us had to wrap it up to go to class but I Agave burnt him just enough for me to win.
hear me out tho, R-ace doesn't have a level 2 yet....
gib a level 2 tuner that burns for no reason at all. :)
When's the dinomorphia time card coming out :(
Can someone, kindly, explain what time cards means? I mean the time rule in ygo? How does that work and why it matters?
I honestly thought it’s the same with MD where both have the same time they can use to combo and interact and the person who exhausted theirs first loses to time limit.
In an in-person tournament you have a round timer, usually of 45 to 50 minutes to complete your best of three match. If you run out of time then time is called. What happens next depends on the card game.
Some tcgs and things right then and there and make the game a draw. Some give you X additional turns for people to win the game before it is declared a draw. Yu-Gi-Oh says currently that whoever has more life points at the end of the phase wins. Thus a time card, like those explained and explored in this video, are cards to let you gain LP or inflict direct damage so you can cheat out a win at the last second.
Tl;dr
Card that win you game when time out (aka lp gain card,burn card)
If Vaalmonica ever becomes relevant all the "guaranteed effects" say lose the duel and all the effects with variance become time cards whicu is kinda funny
Actually since gokipole could search it and mothman, pre ishizu casino tear could play skull mark ladybug very well. Cowboy was probably still better though.
Makes a whole video about time cards in archetype. Forgets about the absurdly unnecessary effect of Advent of Adventure to gain 500 LP
Are recent cards really made with time rules in mind? Are time rules the same in OCG as in TCG?
OCG has different time rules
I remember back before the Time rule was a thing and my friend and I were dueling in this local tournament in 2007 he was playing some beast deck and I was playing water pile with random nonsense I had lost game 1 but won game 2 because my friend didn’t read Neo Spacian Grand Mole and tried to bring it out with some card that brought a beast monster before we both realized that for some odd reason it was a ROCK game 2 goes to me because a judge called time and saw what happened after he asked for him, judge also called the round since our game was taking a while tells us in game 3 first to inflict damage or gain life points wins game 3, I went first and the first card I played was Goblin Thief a card that inflicts 500burn damage and lets you gain 500 life points , my friend couldn’t believe it, and yeah I was the guy who played all kinds random shit like dice jar and barrel behind the door because I thought it was funny.
holy hell that fieldmat show off gave me motion sickness
I managed to go gagaga cowboy AND super conductor tyranno on my first turn against shaddoll/tearlament/ branded back in early 2023. The guy couldn’t recover ( note he took so long game 1 that game 2 was only 6 minutes. ) we drew but it was funny watching him sweat
4:23 dawg we would rather just use the 4 mats for Starlight as most those are special summoned anyways
It’s cool to see lab decks play old ass normal burn traps like secret barrel or cease-fire
0:40
Yeah, but they have only been JOKINGLY designed towards that. Everyone with a brain could see that that was a joke.
Did you pay for fairy box?
Did you pay for fairy box?
I love Yu-Gi-Oh, I fucking love Yu-Gi-Oh
So since time is proceed to end of current phase and not end of opponent's turn, do yugioh duels at the tournament level ever go to time during turn one and the going second player just doesnt get to play?
In games 2 rarely depending on match up
In game 3 oh yea it can
0:07 Obligatory current trending reference
I won more than a few matches playing Salamangreat by getting Parro off of Stallio and gaining 2000. Straight up one of my favorite names in the archetype for that
I would love a thread about cards that are confused about their archetype
mikanko runs axe of fools and it is the worst time card in the deck
it negates an opponents monster, gives it 1000 attack and during your standby phase burns for 500, its good it turns mikanko rivalry into a time card a monster negate and a spell negate with angel ring, but if you just need a time card you just grab mikanko spiritwalk instead because it burns instantly
