Can you do a video covering the tier 0 formats? Can you do a game of modern Yugioh with everything at 3? I don't thing some cards are as busted as people think!
yeah it's unfortunate that the Side Deck is oftentimes too tight to pull of something like that I think the best you could hope for nowadays is playing a going-second Deck and siding into a going-first build with Traps from the Side
I think it would be awesome go have a few episodes of Edison format as it existed at the SJC and then a few episodes using decks created in the decade since Edison format. I never played Edison format so I want to see everything the format has to offer
I agree. We got another episode for goat format even though all decks are pretty much just varients of each other. Eidson format on the other hand has actual diversity and a shitload of different decks. I hope they will give us more than just one additional episode
It’s better than goat got our second extra deck monster synchro goyo brio black rose and stardust are amazing starlight road makes you feel really good or bad depending the bluff game of Edison is ridiculous
When MBT revealed that Colossal Fighter couldn't recur himself with Necrovalley on the field...I felt the exact same way as Cimoooo. I generally root for the rogue's gallery instead of Cimoooo in all of these different series shows. However, MBT is right, Cimooo does get more flack for misplays because we see his hand. Kudos to you Cimoooo.
Colossal Fighter should work as we're under MR1. Necrovalley doesn't get its extreme rule changing until later. In MR1, anything that can "recur itself" is unaffected by necrovalley, which includes cards like treeborn frog, sinister serpent, twin headed behemoth, colossal Fighter, etc.
Bottomless does not send the monster to the GY before banishing it. It's a weird card. It destroys the monster and banishes it after destroying it, but these 2 actions are considered simultaneous. For the purpose of this interaction, the commandant would have still been banished
The weird part about it is that it can banish multiple mosnters summoned atthe sametime, not that it banishes upon destruction. That second part makes nso much sense.
@@edisonformatcom Which one would you recommend for the upcoming episodes? I think stuff like Dragons and Fish OTK would be awesome since they weren't acutally meta during that time period simply because people haven't figured out the format yet back then
I have a soft spot for Vayu Turbo myself, having played a similar deck back in 2010. The modern iteration by James Arc is a well-oiled machine by comparison, he sure put in a lot of work into optimizing it.
@@pandaman1331 ceoleocanth is just too much of an investment and it's like the OG quasar deck in the sense that it's power comes from knowing all the lines with a random assortment of pieces that often available in the deck, I played it a lot on DN because fish rock and coleocanth is such a sick card but super hard to play and rarely won, it makes you a hell of a frog player fast tho lol
Here are today’s illegal actions/clarifications: 19:49 Regardless of which Necrovalley errata they are using, it wouldn’t affect Bottomless Trap Hole. Despite the card saying both “destroy” and “banish”, the card actually doesn’t ever send the monster(s) to the GY, but instead directly to the banish zone. And so, Commandant should have been banished 25:22 Torrential Tribute should be banished because of the effect of Caius. Despite Skill Drain being up, at the time of resolving, Caius was no longer face-up on the field but instead was resolving from the GY. This means that its effect will work, and its target (Torrential Tribute) should be banished, not sent to the GY Conclusion: These didn’t matter. As many comments stated, Cimo could have easily won Game 1 due to having access to Book of Moons, flipping Colossal Fighter, attacking over it with his buffed up Gravekeeper’s due to Necrovalley, and then Colossal Fighter not being able to come back due to Necrovalley. But the illegal actions had nothing to do with the loss 👍🏻
I don't understand why Cimo never attempted to Book of Moon the Guard to send Colossal Fighter back to the extra deck. That should have been possible unless I've missed something
@@randybrayshaw9070 The errata they are using, which you can hear them state at the 19:43 mark states "Negate the effects of Spells, Traps, and Effect Monsters that target a card(s) in either player's Graveyard. Cards in either player's Graveyard cannot be removed from play." This is officially Necrovalley's 4th errata out of the 7 total it has had. As you said in your comment, Colossal Fighter does in fact "target" a card in the Graveyard. By the errata they are using, MBT would not have been able to target Colossal Fighter in the GY to bring it back. If they were using a different Necrovalley errata however, it may have been possible depending on which errata they use.
I'm hoping one of you plays Doomcaliber Gadgets. That's my Edison format deck and I would love to see it shown off here. Edit: Let's goooooooo Edit 2: oof
Ultimate Offering is auto-win in Gadgets and, IMO, Renaldo (the guy who lost to Jeff in the finals) would’ve take the whole event if he ran the 2 copies he was allowed to. It’s too good not to play.
Can't believe Oppression was still legal during this time despite Synchros taking off. Also Dustshoot was legal for so many years before being eventually banned.
When they both had Cyber Dragon on the field at the same time, both of them could have performed a contact fusion using their opponent's Cyber Dragon plus their own to summon Chimeratech Fortress Dragon, gaining massive card advantage. But they BOTH missed it!
Fun fact: Bottomless is one of the only cards that destroy AND banish in its effect. The destruction happens first, then it's immediately banished but the monster itself never hits the GY. So cards like necrovalley wouldn't work.
I'd actually love a mini, spin-off series where you two look at things like GOAT and Edison and play decks that have developed over time, maybe even do episodes where one uses a traditional deck and one uses a modern deck from the format.
Just echoing the crowd to say that I would love a few episodes of era-accurate Edison, and a few episodes of modern Edison. There's just so much that both eras have to offer.
_"People back in this time period were of course allergic to three-ofs"._ 1 Battle Fader because sometimes, quite rarely you want to see it. You really don't want to see it most of the time, so just 1 copy so that u see it in that specific rare instance when you want to see it.
I, echoing many others, want to see much more of this format, both in its old and current states. If there can only be one more episode, I want current decks in it. More than one more episode would be great. Edit: by "more than one more," I mean "many more than one more (would be excellent)." I would not mind if you stalled the series here for a little while.
I think it's looney that they call one of these Declists "Gravekeeper's Burn" when the player using it didn't even try Burn as part of their strategy to win at all, that is so wrong. It is disrepsectful to actual burn Decks, especially since Cimo said the reason he chose it was that there hadn't been a lot of burn in the HIstory of Yugioh, are you KIDDING ME? Use a REAL BURN DECK THEN.
Around this time was whennyugioh was at its best for me, the combos felt good and made you think, the format felt skillful when you played around it, even though I've played since og I look to this format the most with nostalgia
MBT, I remember you saying on stream once you weren’t a fan of Edison format. Change your mind huh? This is when my friend group got back into the game during high school. What a time to start playing again!
@Flamelord325 As far as I remember, he was asked on stream once if he was a fan of Edison and he said not really. But we of course now know, he was really just unfamiliar with it.
28:14 I get accounting for Bottemless and Judgement is important but I would've just summoned the Cat here, on the chance he had Torrential. It's risky, but it would've been such a blowout to trigger Starlight Road here
Game 1 Cimooo could have booked the Fighter, went in with a spy and attacked for game with the other spy and the Guard. Am I crazy, or was the line that easy?
I agree, Colossal's defense is only 1000. With a Gravekeeper's Guard and two Spies, all boosted by Necrovalley, Cimo would have been able to easily walk over it, and have more than enough damage for game.
I think that neither of the two thought that, because they forgot that Necrovalley negates the colossal fighter effect, surely they thought that he would return
He spent so long just... leaving the Fighter there. I kept looking to see if there was something I was missing but he had Skill Drain up! Did he just... forget how attacking works?
22:50 - Cimooooo could've just attacked the Colossal Fighter with the Guard after using either of the Book of Moons he got since, based on what they read for the text of Necrovalley (19:42), the effect of reviving a Warrior-Type would've been negated because it would've targeted a monster in the graveyard.
I'm pretty excited for this format too considering I discovered Yu-Gi-Oh around the beginning of the Zexal anime, and didn't play until mid 2019 when I got my first casual deck from a friend for my birthday.
I LOVED this format!! Ran a Glad Beast Deck pretty much exclusively, but I also had a Blackwing and Twilight Deck (and Crystal Beasts locally because I could and I have always liked the CB Archetype, regardless of how good it actually was), but I loved the VARIETY of decks!! You had to be ready for SO MUCH and it had a very high skill ceiling and it was SO FUN!!
You should have two different wheels, one for each of you. And every deck you take is then being deleted from your respective wheels for the spins of the next episode and so forth.
The pros is avoiding mirrors and the cons include one person's wheel possibly being more competitive (they are tracking wins and care about that slightly) as well as knowing what the opponent could be on informs turn one plays into the dark instead of having so many possible decks to face that an informed turn one is far less likely.
@@AstridCeleste96 To make it more balanced they can pick decks for their wheel. The one who wins rock papers scissors gets to pick first and then MBT picks 2nd and so on
Idk, mirror matches aren't necessarily a bad thing (it not only helps to simulate possible tournament interactions back then but also provides a chance to see different ideas for the same deck type)
I am not a fan of that card, it makes the whole Gravekeepr's Archetype lame. Well, they kind of already are, minus Gravekeepr's Vassel, the one with Piercing, and the one with thecape and knife, but Spy just makes the whole Archetype dumb.
@@poisonedyoyo nah necrovalley makes the archetype dumb, and the fact that if you consider royal tribute an archetype card then all the "royal" cards are gravekeepers cards, and if you ask me the "royal" cards are the most gross of all lol
I started playing the game in 2010 but obviously I was very young and I didn't have money to spend, so I wasn't able to play any of this decks. There are lots of decks on this format that play a lot of cards that I really like since I started. Now, thanks to you, my best friend and I are looking for a few cards to build some of this decks :)
As this was era was squarely in the middle of my first major break from the game (I took it due to Tele-DAD), this will honestly be my first exposure to Edison - my way of getting to know it. Here goes... good thing I am in good hands with you two.
I would love to play in this format. I remember jamming Machina Gadgets and Debris-Hime around this time. I got my first top at my locals ever with Dimensional Eatos. I didn’t know people were rocking this format, but I gotta get down.
This is probably my favourite time in Yu-gi-oh. I see this time as GOAT 2.0. The game was slightly faster than Goat, but the deck variety was still massive and rewarded skill. Synchro era was the best.
One thing I wish they would talk more about is that limited is almost unique to Yu-Gi-Oh( MTG even stole it down the road for vintage as far as I know), and is arguably one of the best parts of the game, often times a card being at one can make a very busted card on paper become a very interesting complicated card to play and build around if you can only access it one time
Edison format was my first competitive format as a teenager. Machina gadget and QuickDraw Dandelion were my fav decks. I really hope you'll get to showcase them!
I remember this. As this was my first HUGE tourney. And the VERY last SJC. I interviewed and hung out wit awesome duelists like; HighAdric, Headsh0tBR, PozJoker (Duelist turned business man, lol), etc. I dueled Roy StClair at a Win-A-Mat flight. Got my beloved Tragoedia playmat & Made a buncha videos that are styll on my channel to this day! It was a fun time fa sho! 👌🏾😁
After seeing MBT's video on Diva Hero, I'd be delighted to see the wheel incorporating Edison decks that were cooked up since, I'd love to see what wild ideas people came up with!
Correct. This ruling was added to the text of the sixth erata of the card to prevent the misunderstanding but they removed it with the seventh erata for no reason …
anyone else played yugioh during this format, just not competitively yet? I was a 13 year old life-long fan of the show and just learned about sleeves.
If I was to rank each Cimo Yu-Gi-Oh series, I'd probably order them like so: 1) Progression Series - sure it can be frustrating at times but it's the most hype and original 2) Sealed Showdown - I really enjoy the nonsense that happens in each episode 3) History of Jank - no explanation needed, solid idea 4) History of Yu-Gi-Oh - why is this the lowest rank for me? It is by no means bad. I actually love this series as well, but out of all them, I think I just like the others more. Personal preference of course, no hate at all :)
TBF that thing has gotten errata'd so many times it's hard to remember which effect it's on (although they looked up that exact version earlier). There was a time when it negated cards that "moved a card in the Graveyard to a different place, except itself" too (and the "except itself" got removed later)
I don't get how come a GY-centric deck like Flamvell wouldn't run Foolish Burial to make Rekindling live more quickly, and it is a bit unfortunate that Cimo's deck happens to shut down Rekindling with Necrovalley. Otherwise it was a pretty cool deck and it was a pretty cool duel. A lot of people I know don't seem to remember Flamvells weren't just Hidden Arcenal filler but actually got spotlight back in the day. It was actually one of my favorite strategies from the era.
My favorite deck from this format is Spaceships. It topped 2 events, both piloted (pun intended) by the same player. SJC Edison was not one of them, but it was with the same card pool under the same banned list. It’s basically light machine beat down and he was playing crazy techs like nobleman of extermination and riryoku.
Omg this is so nostalgic! I was in my second year of college and this was the first time I played since middle school, man just seeing that ban list hit me right in the feels.
in classic history of ygo fashion the first game of the coolest format is decided by cimo forgetting that all of his gravekeepers can beat a defense position colossal warrior with necrovalley out even though it got booked 3 times.
It’s funny, I’d always loved QuickDraw Dandywarrior but I hadn’t seen many people talk about this format so I just figured it was just me. Nice to see this format getting a lot of love now all these years later. Maybe it’s just me, but I love these slower formats. I’d really love to see a Dandywarrior mirror match Cimo.
Im proud to say i went to this event being a NJ native and it blew my mind how many people went the biggest event I ever went too at that time awesome moment
I can't overstate how happy I am to see Rekindling. Bring tears in me eyes as a member of the Rekindling gang. I hope I can see Laval Quasar in action.
Another Edison video!! Let's go, this is a very interesting style, please give it another go! Specially as you guys said, this was during your hiatus, you're gonna have fun!
hey cimo, ed edd & edison channel (keegan & james) are the experts on 2021 edison and have a million videos with new decks to play, would make a really great collab
Playing formats as a legacy format like how goat is played today i think is still an impornant part of yugiohs history, so I think seeing some of thr modern edison strategies would be cool and in the spirit of the series.
Ryko targeted during this time Commandant would get banished by bottomless, its never sent to grave then banished, its merely destroyed on the field and banished
I remember playing Fableds vs Gravekeepers, and at that time, you could dodge Necrovalley with them, due to them reviving themselves. But the simplification of Necrovalley also buffed it through the roof and made it so weird stuff like that does not work anymore.
honestly the fact nobody can figure out why that deck came second should have meant you played it, especially seeing as how you are playing edison again anyway.
It won on floodgates and backrow. Most decks were not prepared to deal with it and thus lost to it. When the deck didn't open its traps or rekoval spells it got overwhelmed very quickly.
Should'nt Caius have resolved in game 1? It was not on the field anymore when its effect would've resolved, but Torrential would still on the field (since cards go to the GY not until the end of the chain).
I love goat format to death, but one friend converted me to Edison and now ALL of my friend group are so deep into Edison its insane. SO FUN! The deck variety, the deck building and carpool, all amazing. PLS PLAY IT
I was in college during this format surprisingly not many of the tournaments at my college were playing this decks mostly played blackwing monarchs most of my friends played during those tournaments
I've lived in or adjacent to New Jersey my entire life, and my parents both grew up here. And let me tell you, other than the beach or a format defining SJC, I really can't think of another reason to voluntarily come to New Jersey
From the point Road was printed, Solemn Judgment, Dark Bribe, or (after it comes out) Solemn Warning had to be set already to safely activate Heavy Storm. It seems counterintuitive, but losing 1 of those was a very worthy pay off to make sure Heavy took out at least 3 of the opponent's backrow.
Really? An entire community of people couldn't "understand how a deck did remotely well" when it's literally just an anti-meta deck in a field full of combo/aggro Synchro plays?? "Under the power level of anything" ...it slams gadgets and one-ofs your opponents out of the game while you rally advantage, and gained Doomcaliber to stuff effect monster plays. Literally the same thing Gadgets have been doing since they were usable in decks. The deck is consistent for very obvious reasons; it was just rallied against because it's boring. Looks really bad on the Edison community to not just own up to their feelings about the deck. And they're ok with watching Gravekeeper Burn sit on a stalled board until WMC declares a win????

I was signature #998. Less than a minute later we hit 1000!
You missed killing the colossal fighter in def cause spy could have taken it out and necro was up
I get why it's not common, but decks that use their side to board into a completely different strategy are always so cool
Like when people would side into dino rabbit game 2
I agree completely. Btw, the process is called 'smokescreen(ing)'. That might be easier to look up decks that can do that
It's also hilarious.
Smokescreeeeen
yeah it's unfortunate that the Side Deck is oftentimes too tight to pull of something like that
I think the best you could hope for nowadays is playing a going-second Deck and siding into a going-first build with Traps from the Side

No, this version of Necro Valley say : Negate any card effect that would move a card in the graveyard, OTHER THAN ITSELF, to a different place.
This is why I love History of Yugioh. I never ever heard of Edison Format until this video, and learning that such a thing existed was just cool.
And now it's exploding in popularity and I'm absolutely gonna play it now haha

Can't believe Oppression was still legal during this time despite Synchros taking off.
Also Dustshoot was legal for so many years before being eventually banned.
Not just legal, it was only semi-limited

Game 1 Cimooo could have booked the Fighter, went in with a spy and attacked for game with the other spy and the Guard. Am I crazy, or was the line that easy?
I agree, Colossal's defense is only 1000. With a Gravekeeper's Guard and two Spies, all boosted by Necrovalley, Cimo would have been able to easily walk over it, and have more than enough damage for game.
it is hard for them to use their brain cells ... it is history of misplays what did you expect ?
Glad someone else saw this.
I think that neither of the two thought that, because they forgot that Necrovalley negates the colossal fighter effect, surely they thought that he would return
He spent so long just... leaving the Fighter there. I kept looking to see if there was something I was missing but he had Skill Drain up! Did he just... forget how attacking works?
I'm curious. What is this legendary Dommcaliber Gadgets deck that got second place?
I believe it was Mkhol40!
its an antimeta deck i think it featured oppressions and maybe machina fortress as well
@@Hclody95 No machina iirc, it was basically a gadget list with plaguespreader, doomcaliber, tragoedia, gorz and a bunch of single target removal.
It's on our site! It was played by Renaldo Lainez
And why is it that bad
22:50 - Cimooooo could've just attacked the Colossal Fighter with the Guard after using either of the Book of Moons he got since, based on what they read for the text of Necrovalley (19:42), the effect of reviving a Warrior-Type would've been negated because it would've targeted a monster in the graveyard.
32:00 MBT gave up the opportunity for massive swag. Tribute stardust for caius, banish itself, 1000 damage, game.
but bottomless owuld happened before x\ so it was the safest play
@@otangakudyokeman7124 winning is far less important than swag
@@chibiraptor not really xd
I'm pretty excited for this format too considering I discovered Yu-Gi-Oh around the beginning of the Zexal anime, and didn't play until mid 2019 when I got my first casual deck from a friend for my birthday.
I LOVED this format!! Ran a Glad Beast Deck pretty much exclusively, but I also had a Blackwing and Twilight Deck (and Crystal Beasts locally because I could and I have always liked the CB Archetype, regardless of how good it actually was), but I loved the VARIETY of decks!! You had to be ready for SO MUCH and it had a very high skill ceiling and it was SO FUN!!
You should have two different wheels, one for each of you. And every deck you take is then being deleted from your respective wheels for the spins of the next episode and so forth.
The pros is avoiding mirrors and the cons include one person's wheel possibly being more competitive (they are tracking wins and care about that slightly) as well as knowing what the opponent could be on informs turn one plays into the dark instead of having so many possible decks to face that an informed turn one is far less likely.
One wheel for historical Edison, one wheel for solved Edison.
@@AstridCeleste96 To make it more balanced they can pick decks for their wheel. The one who wins rock papers scissors gets to pick first and then MBT picks 2nd and so on
No!
Mirrors!
Idk, mirror matches aren't necessarily a bad thing (it not only helps to simulate possible tournament interactions back then but also provides a chance to see different ideas for the same deck type)
It's so funny that between goat format and Edison format, Gravekeepers Spy is still just as good as it always has been.
I am not a fan of that card, it makes the whole Gravekeepr's Archetype lame. Well, they kind of already are, minus Gravekeepr's Vassel, the one with Piercing, and the one with thecape and knife, but Spy just makes the whole Archetype dumb.
@@poisonedyoyo nah necrovalley makes the archetype dumb, and the fact that if you consider royal tribute an archetype card then all the "royal" cards are gravekeepers cards, and if you ask me the "royal" cards are the most gross of all lol
I started playing the game in 2010 but obviously I was very young and I didn't have money to spend, so I wasn't able to play any of this decks. There are lots of decks on this format that play a lot of cards that I really like since I started. Now, thanks to you, my best friend and I are looking for a few cards to build some of this decks :)
I would love to see more deck from the format, there is so much ! I agree for at least 2 more episode !
I'd like to see more decks from the actual Edison format, and some of the ones that have come since.
There's so much variety, you should use that.
As this was era was squarely in the middle of my first major break from the game (I took it due to Tele-DAD), this will honestly be my first exposure to Edison - my way of getting to know it. Here goes... good thing I am in good hands with you two.
I would love to play in this format. I remember jamming Machina Gadgets and Debris-Hime around this time. I got my first top at my locals ever with Dimensional Eatos. I didn’t know people were rocking this format, but I gotta get down.
I would have loved to see the doomcal gadget see play. The deck can actually stand up incredibly well against the rest of the meta
It wins when you open the floodgates, backrow, and drop doomcal or TKR very early. Otherwise it gets overwhelmed very fast.
This is probably my favourite time in Yu-gi-oh. I see this time as GOAT 2.0. The game was slightly faster than Goat, but the deck variety was still massive and rewarded skill. Synchro era was the best.
Edison where my undying love for gadgets started. Its still an archtype i play around with.
One thing I wish they would talk more about is that limited is almost unique to Yu-Gi-Oh( MTG even stole it down the road for vintage as far as I know), and is arguably one of the best parts of the game, often times a card being at one can make a very busted card on paper become a very interesting complicated card to play and build around if you can only access it one time
What do you mean MTG stole from that idea?
Already liking this format way more than Goat
Edison format was my first competitive format as a teenager. Machina gadget and QuickDraw Dandelion were my fav decks. I really hope you'll get to showcase them!
I remember this.
As this was my first HUGE tourney.
And the VERY last SJC.
I interviewed and hung out wit awesome duelists like; HighAdric, Headsh0tBR, PozJoker (Duelist turned business man, lol), etc.
I dueled Roy StClair at a Win-A-Mat flight.
Got my beloved Tragoedia playmat & Made a buncha videos that are styll on my channel to this day!
It was a fun time fa sho! 👌🏾😁
After seeing MBT's video on Diva Hero, I'd be delighted to see the wheel incorporating Edison decks that were cooked up since, I'd love to see what wild ideas people came up with!
When y'all do these format mini series I would love to have one episode when y'all both choose one deck to play instead of spin
I have so much nostalgia for this format.
I’m pretty sure even with Necrovalley out, bottomless still banished since it never sends the monster to the graveyard
Correct. This ruling was added to the text of the sixth erata of the card to prevent the misunderstanding but they removed it with the seventh erata for no reason …
anyone else played yugioh during this format, just not competitively yet? I was a 13 year old life-long fan of the show and just learned about sleeves.
Dang I was looking forward to Doomcalibur Gadgets. I played a doomcalibur gadgets to a regional top.
If I was to rank each Cimo Yu-Gi-Oh series, I'd probably order them like so:
1) Progression Series - sure it can be frustrating at times but it's the most hype and original
2) Sealed Showdown - I really enjoy the nonsense that happens in each episode
3) History of Jank - no explanation needed, solid idea
4) History of Yu-Gi-Oh - why is this the lowest rank for me? It is by no means bad. I actually love this series as well, but out of all them, I think I just like the others more. Personal preference of course, no hate at all :)
I would love to see a bunch of episodes devoted to just Edison format, for both original Edison and solved Edison
I miss this format so much. Machina Gadgets was my favorite deck that I ran, had an answer for everything and GB's got destroyed by them lol
Cimo and not reading Necrovalley - name a more iconic duo.
That colossal dogde necrovalley 3 times xd
He read it at the start of the duel and forgot the ATK boost for the rest of it. Fun
Cimo and activating TT illegally
TBF that thing has gotten errata'd so many times it's hard to remember which effect it's on (although they looked up that exact version earlier). There was a time when it negated cards that "moved a card in the Graveyard to a different place, except itself" too (and the "except itself" got removed later)
I don’t really blame him on this one necrovalley has gotten like 8billion erratas
Probably one of the best formats ever
Variety of tier 1 decks *check*
Skillful gameplay *check*
No expensive meta decks *check*
Ahh this was my format, I got back into yugioh at the start of the synchro age but i remember building my Machina Gadget deck fondly~
I don't get how come a GY-centric deck like Flamvell wouldn't run Foolish Burial to make Rekindling live more quickly, and it is a bit unfortunate that Cimo's deck happens to shut down Rekindling with Necrovalley. Otherwise it was a pretty cool deck and it was a pretty cool duel. A lot of people I know don't seem to remember Flamvells weren't just Hidden Arcenal filler but actually got spotlight back in the day. It was actually one of my favorite strategies from the era.
My favorite deck from this format is Spaceships. It topped 2 events, both piloted (pun intended) by the same player. SJC Edison was not one of them, but it was with the same card pool under the same banned list. It’s basically light machine beat down and he was playing crazy techs like nobleman of extermination and riryoku.
Omg this is so nostalgic! I was in my second year of college and this was the first time I played since middle school, man just seeing that ban list hit me right in the feels.
I remember playing my flamevell synchro deck as a red nova dragon turbo back in the day
Been playing this a lot, quickdraw plants are so much fun to play
in classic history of ygo fashion the first game of the coolest format is decided by cimo forgetting that all of his gravekeepers can beat a defense position colossal warrior with necrovalley out even though it got booked 3 times.
12:40 Edison chat was awesome. Loving this format
It’s funny, I’d always loved QuickDraw Dandywarrior but I hadn’t seen many people talk about this format so I just figured it was just me.
Nice to see this format getting a lot of love now all these years later. Maybe it’s just me, but I love these slower formats.
I’d really love to see a Dandywarrior mirror match Cimo.
Im proud to say i went to this event being a NJ native and it blew my mind how many people went the biggest event I ever went too at that time awesome moment
"If we get wave motion canon set up, we win automatically" Me: Sealed Showdown shows differently.
You and MBT wear those clothes that in opening with the Pyramid just funny to see .
This is better and more exciting than Goat.
True
I can't overstate how happy I am to see Rekindling. Bring tears in me eyes as a member of the Rekindling gang.
I hope I can see Laval Quasar in action.
Y'all can't do just a single episode for this format, please! COVER MORE DECKS PLSSS
Both say repeatedly that they'll be doing several episodes in this format
Another Edison video!! Let's go, this is a very interesting style, please give it another go! Specially as you guys said, this was during your hiatus, you're gonna have fun!
Edison Format looks super fun. please play more!
also definitely give us a taste of the modern format's changes
hey cimo, ed edd & edison channel (keegan & james) are the experts on 2021 edison and have a million videos with new decks to play, would make a really great collab
Quickdraw dandy is my favorite deck of all time, I just love this format.
Playing formats as a legacy format like how goat is played today i think is still an impornant part of yugiohs history, so I think seeing some of thr modern edison strategies would be cool and in the spirit of the series.
Ryko targeted during this time
Commandant would get banished by bottomless, its never sent to grave then banished, its merely destroyed on the field and banished
I remember playing Fableds vs Gravekeepers, and at that time, you could dodge Necrovalley with them, due to them reviving themselves. But the simplification of Necrovalley also buffed it through the roof and made it so weird stuff like that does not work anymore.
I want to see more decks from the wheel AND I want to see more of what people have cooked up from Edison format
honestly the fact nobody can figure out why that deck came second should have meant you played it, especially seeing as how you are playing edison again anyway.
It won on floodgates and backrow. Most decks were not prepared to deal with it and thus lost to it. When the deck didn't open its traps or rekoval spells it got overwhelmed very quickly.
Machine duplication cyber vally was my favorite random throw-in stall draw power.
Yay Flamvell Magician! Aka Flamvell frickin Lore Man!
Should'nt Caius have resolved in game 1? It was not on the field anymore when its effect would've resolved, but Torrential would still on the field (since cards go to the GY not until the end of the chain).
I love goat format to death, but one friend converted me to Edison and now ALL of my friend group are so deep into Edison its insane. SO FUN! The deck variety, the deck building and carpool, all amazing. PLS PLAY IT
I was in college during this format surprisingly not many of the tournaments at my college were playing this decks mostly played blackwing monarchs most of my friends played during those tournaments
I've lived in or adjacent to New Jersey my entire life, and my parents both grew up here. And let me tell you, other than the beach or a format defining SJC, I really can't think of another reason to voluntarily come to New Jersey
Best era of yugioh. The game is at the perfect amount of speed and complexity here, with a very solid ban list
You better elaborate on your points please...
Edison format is when I got back into the game, though I never knew it was called Edison format.
I would love to see the new Edison format decks that have been developed since.
Hey Alex I really enjoyed this episode and the format looks sick. I'd love to see more of this format
I didn't know Edison existed until this and MBT's other video. But it's now the only format I want to play.
Would love to see some of the decks that have been developed since
12:40 This is probably the most wholesome moment in The History of Yu-Gi-Oh!
Wholesome has come to be another word for cringe. But, I can understand their excitement, as Edison is a very fun format.
From the point Road was printed, Solemn Judgment, Dark Bribe, or (after it comes out) Solemn Warning had to be set already to safely activate Heavy Storm. It seems counterintuitive, but losing 1 of those was a very worthy pay off to make sure Heavy took out at least 3 of the opponent's backrow.
Yu-Gi-Oh is at its best when the deck is a game of two toolboxes and this proves it
Why do you say this please?
Dude flamvells, my boys being showcased
Man this brings so much memories
Played almost same deck back in the day
Edison is the greatest format in the history of yugioh, followed closely be HAT
Really? An entire community of people couldn't "understand how a deck did remotely well" when it's literally just an anti-meta deck in a field full of combo/aggro Synchro plays?? "Under the power level of anything" ...it slams gadgets and one-ofs your opponents out of the game while you rally advantage, and gained Doomcaliber to stuff effect monster plays. Literally the same thing Gadgets have been doing since they were usable in decks.
The deck is consistent for very obvious reasons; it was just rallied against because it's boring. Looks really bad on the Edison community to not just own up to their feelings about the deck. And they're ok with watching Gravekeeper Burn sit on a stalled board until WMC declares a win????
The monster destroyed by Bottomless Trap Hole gets banished from the field, not from the gy. Necrovalley has no effect on this.
