I know this might seem like a lot, but I 100% think you should do a round-robin's worth of episodes in TOSS format, showing each of the matchups (not dissimilar to the things you did for Duelist Alliance format). I always hear that the TOSS decks had good balance between them, but no one's ever been able to explain to me exactly how well or poorly each matched up to each.
@@BulbaFan0710 cloak searches “the phantom knights” cards, not just monsters. It also includes the spell/traps like rum launch and shade brigandine which summon monsters with their on field effects
I vividly remember when the structure deck came out, Cimo said “it’s coming out on Valentine’s Day to represent my abusive relationship with this game”
A nice quality of life thing that could be added with just a little bit of editing would be having what the cards were at prior to being limited, banned, etc. Like, I assume Brilliant Fusion went from 3 -> 1, but at first I thought it was being unbanned because keeping track of old banlists from 4 years ago is hard :'D. So yeah, just a suggestion that'd make watching these even better imo!
Today I learned Skyblaster summons based off the monsters you control - not the monsters your opponent controls; it being on the limited list makes a lot more sense to me now.
Crazy thing is that the deck is STILL to this day an excellent budget option, the salad structure deck is still really good value, goes to show how well designed the deck is.
It played well as a budget deck but the staples at the time weren’t cheap. Phantazmay was like a $100 card for some time, and if you didn’t buy the structure on release it quickly shot up in price as well, though it was still budget by competitive standards. The ash blossom alone was worth more than the msrp of the product eventually.
I really hope Endymion gets included as part of TOSS. Cimo's videos on them are how I got into competitive Yugioh during TOSS format just before RIRA released.
I'd like to pitch a new series of Master Duel where Alex just plays ranked with Salamangreat, since it's back at full power and he REALLY enjoys the deck
As someone who's started watching this series with LOB but has never played Yugioh before, the biggest thing that's struck me now that we're getting closer to the modern game is that it's harder and harder for me to tell who's winning. In the early episodes it felt like okay, whoever has more cards or a bigger board is winning, and there are some particular cards that if you overcommit and then run into them you can lose by surprise, but now I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be tracking, life totals don't seem to matter, cards in hand don't seem too important, boards come and go quickly, what should I be looking at to tell who's ahead in a duel?
Yeah, in lot of ways numbers completely stop mattering in Yugioh; only effects matter. So if you don't intuitively know what all the cards in hand, on board, and (sometimes) in GY actually DO it's hard to tell who's in an advantage state.
@@YeahTheDuckweed Gren Maju is based, but also the perfect example of what I'm talking about. Theoretically the guy with the 12k ATK point monster has an advantage. But at the end of the day trading 2 for 1 to Forbidden Droplet the big doinker is a game-winning play even though it looks like negative advantage.

At 19:16 mbt used the fog blade to negate, then it went to grave when cimo linked heatleo off so it wasn't actually wrong, unlike the 15 other mistakes this episode
Salamangreat has gotta be one of my favorite decks, I wasn't actually playing Yugioh during Salad's heyday but I fell in love with it when I began playing Yugioh about a year ago. Salads to me is like Hero to MBT, I'm probably gonna play it, regardless of its viability at the time. It hasn't aged the best I suppose and the new support didn't fix its modern day biggest issues but damn do I still enjoy it
ROTATION YUGIOH REFERENCE!! also it's insane that salad was not considered a good deck when it came out and then it inmediately started to top all events as soon as people figured out it was good
Ah yes, I came back in 2019 January and picked Salads in February up. Such a prime time. Multiple wins at locals, top at regional, pulled 3 phatazmey out of Savage Strike and here I am today, still playing salads for years, altough the formats haven't been kind to us anymore.
I mean, it is the least destroyed of the TOSS decks with most support which is still coming out (prison princess do be arrivin). I would say it is adequate.
I think the big thing I'm seeing in the lead-up to TOSS is that none of the decks are aggro by design. Yes, Thunder is kind of aggro by nature of the Thunder Dragons just being *big*, but the gameplans of the top 4 decks are very much flexible control strategies. And that's genuinely interesting to me. And it's not like these are slow decks, they're powerful combo and resource looping strategies.
I know this format so well that I think this is the first time I considered skipping the intro lol but very, very cool to have insight on the topic, even if I already know most of it
I always heard people yelling "ORCUST COMBO" back in the day and having zero fucking idea what they were referring to. Thank you Joseph for clarifying.
Salad's resource loop to this day is still one of the best in the game. And to think the most recent support was exactly what this archetype needed to start coming back into the current era.
I always knew people were crediting Salad for being the first deck that looks like modern yugioh decks do, but by watching this series it really puts in perspective how true is that. clean 40 cards, engine purely archetypal with maybe 1 or 2 cards that arent, ED is 50% archetypal and 50% just generic cards that work with it, and you have atleast a fourth of the deck dedicated to non engine, with a clear direction that your entire engine is going towards, and you open it insanely consitently, instead of the previous "yeah we can go 2-3 different ways depending on what we open, we may brick sometimes but the ceiling is huge"
I actually had to play this exact matchup in a regional once. I was on Salamangreat, my opponent on Joseph's deck. Game 1 I was able to hang on with 100LP and my opponent wasn't able to do anything to kill me, eventually scooping as I pushed through all of his plays. Game 2 he went first and was all set up to Azathot on my turn, but I luckily drew one of my sided Book of Eclipse to set the Redoer, then I proceeded to OTK by using his Bardiche make Violet Chimera.
i started playing yugioh around this time, the structure was how i got my ashes. i remember watching mbts videos on inzektor and monarch post banlist in school. crazy how close this series is to modern
@@TheUltimateCancerCell unfortunately i'm not sure if the new salad support is coming out with her too, which is a problem because without a link 4 she becomes a lot worse
@@jellyunicorn8347 Salad lists with Bufferlo instead of Of Fire exist, which are arguably better in the current format because Salad needs Dweller to even beat Tear and Unchained.
Man this hurts so, game 1, mbt locked in dark and making cerberus, also having otk, shade bridadine with traps in gy, cimo special summoning gazelle in damage step, game 2, mbt special summoning danger from nesse discard, also fun fact, summoning aqua dolphon and discarting jack is full combo and/or hand knowledge in case they have ash and no veiler,, oh boi this episode hurts as much as cimo playing BA sekka
If anyone wants to play a deck similar to Alex's Salamangreat deck in an evolving interactive diverse format, Common Charity Salamangreat has most of this deck (the main abscences being Debug, and Baelynx). Legendary Duelists Soulburning Volcano downshifted a lot of the key pieces.
I got back into the game because of Cimo's videos about budget with Salamangreat. Bought 3 structure decks. Got them on the Monday and the banlist came out that Gazelle and Circle went to 1 so I needed very expensive Cynet Minings now :)
I only played yugioh during a few events competitively and that was when Salamamgreats were meta and I also played them. It's kind if crazy to see that it is in history of Yu-Gi-Oh now and that it's already been 4 years since then
MBT: "It may seem strange that we play Pankratops and Phantazmay in the main, but that's because, we're already sure to win when going 1st". Also MBT: *loses 3-0 when going 1st thrice*. Congrats to you Cimo, Salad is truly your best deck (after blackwings of course)!
That salad list is actually really close to the list I got my first invite with in 2019. I was playing the Artifact engine instead. But I also sided extra fusion cards and they came in clutch cause I faced 4 mirror matches. Good times.
This had pot of extravantage which was the last card altergeist really needed to be full power for a long time (we dont talk about mystic mine altergeist)
Gazelle doesn't summon itself when a Salamangreat monster is destroyed by battle. Also, Alex wasted the Balelynx protection when Rusty tries to pop Heatleo whiles it's colink to Knightmare Cerberus.
This deck allowed me to get my first copies of ash blossom for cheap and I lived using this deck. I just forgot to use some graveyard effects so it performed well for me.

Also he switched the effects of nessi and jack ;)

Yeah I think he wouldve survived the battle phase anyway tho
And at 29:01 he uses ancient cloak to grab the rank up. Ancient cloak only grabs monster. Silent boots search pk spell or traps
