I love Ghoti Runick so much. Such a fun deck. I know it's Rogue at best, but the fact that a synchro-on-your-opponents-turn style toolbox deck even stands a chance in the modern game makes me smile :)
It's really important to know that S:P can banish cards from your own GY on summon. This means you can use Leaffish to dump Psiics, then make S:P with Leaffish + Hugin to banish Psiics in GY. Psiics will then SS itself by banishing Leaffish. From there you can use Psiics' search and setup more interaction. Furthermore, when it's your opponent's turn, you can use S:P's other eff to banish your Psiic. That way you can trigger yet another Psiics search.
I’ve been scrambling searching for content on this deck since I just recently purchased the runick part of it. I’ve loved the Ghoti archetype since it was announced and the new support inspired me to try to get back to playing competitively in this meta. Thanks for the content as always!
you know jillian jumpscare aside, imagin how scary it actual is to have a spouce whose main source of income is cultivating a group of silly people with fish jokes. THEN again I now feel like a fish in the barrel for jumping to see more fish, if only next week we could get some fire eye ghostricks..
Genuinely love the new approach lately in explaining the deck non-linearly and highlighting what's going on before each game starts. It makes these play-by-play breakdowns a lot more comprehensible.
I appreciate how MBT gives Ghoti so much attention even when there are so many stronger decks. It's always a good day when it talks about it or Plunder.
intresting thing to note S:P can banish your own fish in the grave to trigger them. that way lifeless + 1 Runick does something because you can send a fish go S:P and then banish the fish
Crossout is legitimately worth a slot in the deck. It can protect you from hand traps and act as a play starter by banishing Shif or Paces on your turn, to trigger them on your opponents' turn.
@@snekpeachy Any kind of deck that can play in your opponents turn, you want to aim to activate at least 5 effects before the point you'll need You're Finished! to trigger. Ghoti, Melffy (maybe with Sprights too?) and Purrely (pretty sure each Sleepy draw is a separate effect) sounds like the best option for it. From the top of my head other decks where maybe it would be playable in VS, Labrynth and Ninjas.
Another build is the SHS variant that plays like Snake-Eyes does, with a bunch of handtraps. Since you can't play S/T, PSY-Framegear Delta works as a spell negate and Wakaushi is a one card combo by itself that can end on Beatrice and extra bodies for synchroing on your opponents turn.
I remember hearing this deck mentioned in another vid and I was hoping this would be covered soon. It's exactly was I was expecting it to be but I'm happy. It seems strong but isn't meta breaking which makes for fun games against everything else
Another Ghoti video from MBT, another 20 minutes of hearing Snopios be pronounced "Snopoisus" Edit: In the Conclusions he fixes his pronuniciation like at 18:28
Hey man im so glad you make these videos, lmaonthats funnywith the power of runick anythings possible 😂 but yeah theres alot of decks i enjoy testing, feels really good to see other good duelists making similar decks - as always sweet deck, i also just posted my first deck on ygoprodeck
My ghoti dream support -> "a level 4 synchro fish(1 fish tuner and one non tuner monster), If this card is synchro summoned you can special summon 1 level 4 or lower fish tuner monster from your graveyard, then immediately after this effect resolves, you can synchro summon a fish type synchro monster using only those 2 monsters as material. You can treat this card as a tuner for the synchro summon of a fish type synchro monster using only fish type monsters as material. If this card is banished from the field or graveyard you can return it to the extra deck."
It might be worth considering Crossout ratios of the hand traps this deck is most vulnerable to, and sometimes just using the card to self banish your stuff so it can float on the following turn can be the extra gas you need to keep going. Speaking of Self-Banishes, apparently S:P can also do that, even hitting your stuff in GY if needed, and the Runick summons ensure you have an Extra Deck monster to get that effect off with more frequently than other decks that aren't Link heavy.
great idea, but you are still missing the point mbt made. The only reason this deck is mid rn is cause Snake eyes can play 18 handtraps no prob. And thats the problem not the deck itself.
If you play Munin in the extra deck, you can make Arianpos by normal summoning any level 3 tuner. If we’re trying to run more hand traps, this might be the way to go. Having to run specifically Ash, Belle, Mourner and Ogre isn’t ideal, but it slightly makes up for any lost consistency you have by trying to cram more hand traps into your Runick deck.
hey, i just learned the turn one setup with lifeless leaffish, is supposed to be lifeless bin psiics, lifeless plus hugin for a S:p, sp banish psiics to trigger it, banish leafless to summon and search a keaf, and then banish the keaf. This is supposed to leave you with fountain, keaf that can tag out for lifeless to bin a zep, and S:p which can tag out your psiics to get it back and banish the zep. That's supposed to be the bread and butter combo of the list.
Btw. the combo with Lifeles (if you have a Runick spell) is to send Psiics, summon a Runick, go into S: P and banish Psiics. That way you end on way more then Arionpos on the opponents turn.
The deck needs more ways to get going. If you manage to somehow get the engine going (Snopius in Hand + Tuners in Grave/Banish) it feels like the deck literally cannot loose any more. I don't think I've ever lost a grindgame with Ghoti ever
I just realized that Psiics, is pronounced, SIX, and I looked at the monsters level, and then proceeded to slam my head against my desk, multiple times.
Loved the video, but I'm not a big fan of Leaffish. It's normal summon is decent, yeah, but it accomplishes so little imo. I prefer playing the lightsworn engine (2 raiden 3 charge) as it's Arionpos directly with Hugin, plus it fills the gy with runicks and fish.
I like phantasmay in the side with Magnamut and druiswurm cause if youre against a light dark deck bystials are good and if you're going first and can put a light in grave you can search a fantasy for your opponents turn 1 if you can't make an unbreakable board
this was a pretty good showing of the deck. however, I CANNOT recommend that other plays play lifeless leafish in this deck. it's a good card in any other version of ghoti, but unfortunately it just doesn't really do much here. the boards that lifless leafish make are far less impressive than if you had used Paces or Shiff.
I've been playing ghoti since it came out. Crossout is genuinely broken because if nothing else it grabs you a fish to get the engine running and of course there is the protection
if you like this deck, you should try pure ghoti and ghoti banish variants. ghoti banish plays dimensional shifter, necroface and aloof lupine. very effective against many decks
I just started playing YGO after a long 2 year break, my friend want me to play this deck at the upcomming regional at Montreal tomorrow. Full disclosure, its gonna be my first time playing since the last 2 years and i dont know what half of the card does. Ill keep yall updated

Only reason I don't play this Ghoti variant. SP is too much money and, as you said, does basically everything for this deck.
I can't believe MBT got Master Duel World Champion Joshua Schmidt to cameo in his video
really happy you voiced joshua Schmidt despite him being a discord dm away

MBT taught the fish to synchro summon so well, they become the runick variant of the month.
Great seeing MBT and Josh finally collab.
Josh has such a wonderful voice.
Your pronunciation of Psiics was sending me, shades of DB Grinder!
Once again, Ghoti proves to be a sick Synchro engine
The Joshua schmidth intro was too funny lol
MBT is converging to Rata humour with that intro. excellent
Bro, out here showing us the peak athleticism. 10/10, one of my favorite skits yet.
Foolish MBT forgot close the door 2:50
I hope that becomes a meme
he really does think snopios is pronounced like that huh
i love snupoisus
And beautuniful princess
As an Australian, it took me a minute to get the tuner vs tuna bit since we eloquently pronounce both as "chew-nah" 😅

I pronounce Psiics like “seeks”
Also MBT has gotta say Snopios right. He adds an extra is every time
I think it's meant to be pronounced "sicks" since it is then a homophone for its level, 6

That first game uhhh
As a traptrix player I really do not know what he was cooking
ngl, i don't know what they were cooking exactly, but i can say for sure they were cooking
There is so much you can do with this archetype, that's why is very fun to play.
I know it isn't good but you can almost always reach You're Finished! requirements with Ghoti, it's a lot of fun.
are there other decks where that card is also decent?

When I first heard of this deck, I thought “wow, these local duelists are cooking” UT represented 👌
I really wish Josh would have popped out at some point in the skit, keeping the dub
mbt's joshua schmidt voice sounds like an ai trying to replicate mbt doing joshua schmidt. masterful
Btw. the combo with Lifeles (if you have a Runick spell) is to send Psiics, summon a Runick, go into S: P and banish Psiics. That way you end on way more then Arionpos on the opponents turn.
MBT doing the joshua voice is so funny lmao
Funny how MBT made a lengthy video on murdering your darlings (ash) and then ends up play 3 Ash in a Runick deck with only 6 handtraps.
Such a good intro damn.
That being said I was playing Ghoti Icejade bystial runick nearly a year ago.... It was awful but the idea was there
Josh is just a PNG… 😂
"fish can't top" have you SEEN the shape of water??????
Brother was diving in her Mariana trench

I just realized that Psiics, is pronounced, SIX, and I looked at the monsters level, and then proceeded to slam my head against my desk, multiple times.
18:27 I literally* screamed out loud and probably scared my neighbors cuz MBT said "Snopios' effect" and pronounced it right
I will never play Runick, however I did not think of using Snopios as a way of stopping ash or oak! Definitely using that strat next time I play.
FISH!!!!
Joseph saying synchro fish is a mid joke while thinking calling Danny gay is the height of comedy
Hoping for a more fish/ Ghoti centric one minute overview after this
I feel you pronunce Moonlight of the Ghoti as "Sicks*
Loved the video, but I'm not a big fan of Leaffish. It's normal summon is decent, yeah, but it accomplishes so little imo. I prefer playing the lightsworn engine (2 raiden 3 charge) as it's Arionpos directly with Hugin, plus it fills the gy with runicks and fish.
Dumb fact lifeless leaf fish triggers on any summon including flip. Has come up exactly one time for me.
The new fish makes Joe sound like he's having a stroke any time he pronounces it, or attempts to at least lol.

This will get much better after LEDE. Finally a good Level 4 fish tuner is exactly what this deck needs.

I've been playing ghoti since it came out. Crossout is genuinely broken because if nothing else it grabs you a fish to get the engine running and of course there is the protection
I’m 99% certain MBT could have just asked Joshua Schmidt to record the 4 or so sentences and send it to him, but him doing the voice is just better
