You're gonna have to excuse my play Game 1 - I was a LITTLE NERVOUS!
Did you forgot phoenix enforcers ability yo reduce attack of your opponent's monsters? Around 16:40
Also forgot liquid soldier effect after you used it as material for miracle fusion, but i always forget that effect too so don't worry about it champ
@@JoaoPedro-jk1ub This one was intentional - I wanted to activate Pot of Prosperity later in the turn.
@@MBTYuGiOh aaaah i see, cool
Bro was so nervous he forget to finish his combo turn 1 😭
“THIS…is The Yu-Gi-Oh! Congression Series!”
In all seriousness, I’m so happy you had this opportunity, and no one could’ve done it better! Fantastic video! ❤
Hope you're doing well
Each week I duel another member of Congress. We then spin a wheel of policies we both have proposed. The winner of each duel gets to put in place that policy regardless of votes.
@@TheRenji696 This it the Congression Series. Democracy is dead but Yugioh is alive!
every turn needs atleast 50% of the votes to end
if you want 5% off your taxes, follow the link in the description
Joseph, spurned by years of no Konami collaboration, has moved onto the world's second most powerful organisation: The US Government
Is Konami the first? Lmao
@@sk8termac95I’d say Disney tbh.
@@sk8termac95 no it's the student council of Yugi's school
@@basicallyrk4018you mean kaiba?
@@sk8termac95 ngl I thought the most powerful was gonna be something like the illuminati
This man can't get sponsored by Konami to save his life but can summon DPE + Dark Law on a congressman.
and still get bodied by earth machine
@@Nightmare_52 Hell yeah, Kashtira's got nothing over Earth Machine this format!
U forgot dragoon
Why congressman? Why not congresshuman, congressperson, congress-representative, representative, congress member or something?
Same with fireman, policeman, actress, waitress, Filipino, Filipina, etc.
@@nicbentulan Because he's a man in congress? It's just a gendered word, it's not that big of a deal, a woman in congress is a congresswoman and an NB person in congress is a congressperson.
If you want to fight for gender equality, there may be more important priorities than the use of a gendered word in the comments of a yugioh video. (which also makes this answer pointless but whatever)
I wonder what policy changes we'll get in response to a best of 3.
ask what he thinks of israel PepeLa
Can’t wait for mbt to ask a congress man what he thinks of his bussy
Obviously we'll need Bo5.
farfa when can us brits expect you to duel rishi sunak to implement Beatrice to 3?
@@deliriouspanda214 I would say farfa is more likely to dool Scottish government in the Bute house tbh
My favorite moment was when Frost played Swords of Revealing Light and Joseoh looked at the camera like, "I'm about to lose to someone who plays Swords in main/side."
And works in Congress
when was that
Can’t wait for this series to continue. Looking forward to “I SHIFTERED THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES”
But turns out he was playing Floo
“End of Main Phase, dumbass!”
*Biden proceeds to dump Nib on MBT* 😂😂😂
@@menaatefadly Floo has too many effects for Joe to remember
@@grantplunkett8410 then we create a trier 0 banish deck that turns it into caveman Yugioh
LMAO
This is the closest confirmation we'll get to a congressperson knowing what a "bussy" is
Something tells me this isn’t true
You're clearly not very politically savvy if you don't know of the many congressmen who know all about bussy
It's a man's butthole, right?
when -ussy became word of the year 2022 according to The American Dialect Society, did any conservative congresspeople act like it was the downfall of civilization?
I feel like they must have right?
A former classmate of his can confirm that he knows
Really enjoyed the duality of Joseph and Jilian doing their interviews. Also: the fact that Frost is both an earth machine player and pushing a railway project is just perfect.
Having the guy pushing for a railway project play with an Earth Machine deck feels like something ripped straight from the anime lol

@@etho6712 Actual zexal character holy shit
This was awesome. I especially loved that Jillian got to interview him too. Great conversation all around and great to see a young politician be a young person.
A young politician is a young person?
No it can't be
@@adamismail8311 To be fair, sometimes young politicians can feel like they are old people in young bodies, because politicians tends to age people’s souls.
Love seeing Joseph platform smaller creators like this. Fantastic work. ♥️
MBT: Floodgates have no place in YGO
Also MBT: Drops Floodgate on member of Congress
i would have laughed my ass of if MBT was like "So i brought a small deck called Mystic mine Burn" and flipped Skill Drain on him XD
Well yeah, if we dont bring this to the attention of our congresspeople, how is the US Congress supposed to ban tcboo?
I mean, the whole US government is a floodgate for meaningful legislation
Until you can come up with a better way to make politicians fix the major problems of our time, that doesn’t involve shoving it into their faces, we are going floodgate every chamber of politics
The classic "Do as I say not as I do"
I had no idea we were getting a high speed rail from Orlando to Miami that also connects to Tampa. As a Florida resident that's triangulated between Tampa and Orlando, that'll be such a nice way to go to Miami without the need of driving a half dozen hours. That aside, this looks like it was a super cool opportunity for yourself and Max to connect over a similar hobby while also talking about some larger issues in this country.
Now I just need North Florida connected so I can go to events in Orlando and Miami.
Yesss, Brightline! It’s already down by where I live, and it’s great!
I'll absolutely adore if this makes it way up to Jacksonville eventually!
The fact that he has a deck that actually does fit with his political platform is amazing, this man could be in the anime with no changes whatsoever.
Feels like in yugioh anime everyone plays yugioh even the president 😂
I am unsure his take on Ukraine but I assume he supports sending them Liebe's and Gustav Max's to protect their soveirgnty so they have the ability to build Switchyards
Big facts
I want to live in the world where the president is decided by duel
The fact that he's playing a actually rogue-ish deck using actual semi competitive cards makes this way more interesting
I was expecting him to OOGA BOOGA normal summon blue eyes white dragon. But when he dropped that blind going 2nd Urgent Schedule I was like “ok ok I see him I see him”
I am so proud of seeing him come this far, it is indeed huge for Maxwell Frost that he gets to play Yugioh with the one and only MBT, so proud of my boy. For comparison, not even someone like AOC has gotten to play with Cimo! Huge day for the democratic party of the USA, a country I am not even a part of.
This is a splendid move in order to get a hold of the white faces of America
AOC did hop onto a Donkey Kong 64 stream once with Hbomberguy, so that's neat!
@@mozata6838 That was legit great
Very similar feelings here! Great to also see someone get that far in politics before the age of 30, extremely impressive. Hope it sets a precedent.
AOC played among us with corpse and OTV I think awhile back tho!
I can't believe they got a congressman for the new season of Prog Playoffs! I can't wait to finally see some Brent Thug representation in our government.
I volunteer to roam the streets at night with my fellow Brent Thugs
Beyond just "wow this whole thing is incredible", MBT came very prepared for this. Excellent questions, fantastic dialogue. It was way more than just Frost plays Yugioh so let's play.
MBT has been preparing a HERO side board for his political opponents for awhile.
And his outfit was cute on top of it all
MBT seriously wearing a Millennium Ring necklace with a SUIT that is hilarious.
It works better than one would think tbh
Don't hate just cause you can't pull off the drip player
MBT out here bringing us an episode of the Congression Series this week
Congrussy
"My favorite card is Machina Citadel"
Wow, this guy is batting for the narrow audience of "Earth Machine Players in Florida", of which there must be like, 3.
Reporting for duty 🫡
lmao me
Ok, we found 2 of them. Where is the 3rd?
@@Phyrrus Congressman Frost is right there in front of you.
@@frostcrm the First comment above Talks about "an audience" of 3 Earth machine Players. Means Congressmann Frost is excluded from the question.
When I said "I think MBT needs varied content" I meant you and Danny doing the suck off series, not you BECOMING PART OF THE LIBROMANCER MEDIA
I don't know why people are surprised by this, this very clearly what this channel has been building to
Yeah, I mean, he played Biden in playoffs right? 🤣
@@ouroboros_1355 "who said that?"
@@ouroboros_1355if there's a god we'll get at least one prog playoff voiced over with Trump and Biden AI voices
Yeah i mean this what happens when you don´t see his tweeter,also Hasan collab when?
If he can teach fish to Synchro summon than literally nothing is impossible to Mbt.
There genuinely could not have been a better duo to do this, between Joseph's dorky charisma and Jillian's genuine political interest and background as a political scientist. Absolutely delightful!
Also, very polite of Joseph to not trigger DPE popping DPE 7 times. :)
In this series, 1 random member of congress and myself will be opening 24 booster packs or 1 box of a core Yu-Gi-Oh! booster set. We will build a deck and play a best 2 out of 3, and the winner will introduce one new bill to be voted on. HOWEVER! Each episode, we will open another box of the previous set that was released moving in reverse chronological order, constantly downgrading our decks before dueling each other at the end of each episode. This is the Yu-Gi-Oh! Congression Series.
The “Nationalize YuGiOh” campaign finally worked.
Finally, congress is gonna tell Konami to stop short printing and give us OCG rarity distribution. Thanks MBT!
@@fieldoflettuce7091 I feel you. Enjoying my Ultimate Rare Number C62 and Ultra Parallel Rare Destrudo right now.
the portion of the interview where he was talking about how he loved the game so much that he was playing on the center console of his car using his knee as the graveyard, man that hit me hard. card games bring us all together
> Checks MBT's Channel
> (Prog playoffs final episode) Oh, wow we've come so far
> (He dueled a congressman) Oh wow, we've REALLY come so far
i've played against my bro's earth machine deck for years now, thinking I knew what the deck offered, but the spice Frost brought to the table was protagonist levels of unbelievable. WHAT A MATCH.
wow! i wasn't expecting Jillian to get a shot at interviewing too! I think its safe to say that this was one of the best videos you've ever made MBT. i think you really did a great job at not only using your passion for the game as a way to connect younger people to real world political discussion, but also in framing the game with the two different interviews. I think you and Jillian asked smart questions and made it not only entertaining, but informative. i knew nothing about Congressman Frost before this, but this helped to fill me in on some key bits of information. I only hope that more people like him will be in charge soon.
Those three games really highlighted to me that casual lower powered back and forth Yu-Gi-Oh is a lot more interesting to play and watch than Meta games that end in round 2/3.
*Laughing in pure Runick*
if you like back and forth matches you should try out literally any other card game, having resources like mana in runeterra/magic the gathering force even meta decks to take 5+ turns each before they win
@@swank8508 Maxx C goess brrrrrrrrr
There’s a ton of jokes that can be made here sure but being serious for just a second, this is such a cool video and one of a kind when it comes to yugioh content for sure, props to mbt for doing something this absolutely amazing
Jillian and Joseph are both unironically top tier interviewers, it's genuinely impressive
This is wildest MBT collab ever, the only thing that can top this is a Konami Sponsorship
I literally died when MBT plasma’d a congressman
i hate and love that a yu-gi-oh channel has had the best political interview i've seen in years.
Why you hate it thoe ? 😅
@@Cruzer871 probably bcs other channels can't do it right
From my point of view is that Jillian is a political scientist and her partner is game content creator so there is basically no incentive to do a interview to shot down someone's leg. Her questions is genuinely good and kinda bipartisan unlike media who clearly heavily side to whoever they payed to.
Seeing Joseph in an actual suit when I’m most familiar with him in a tie dye tank top or Jean jacket with a bedazzled American flag hat was a little strange to see.
"That's not fun", the most natural reaction to Dark Law, for sure.
10/10 needs to be ban 😂
Orochi, Draglubion, Hope Harbinger, Swords, and Crusher Run? I don't care if people say this isn't an optional build -- let the congressman cook!
"yeah Mr congressman come play yugioh with me"
*immediately makes dpe + floodgate*
HERO players man.
Heroes: “hey Konami can I have easy access to the extra?”
Konami: “to do cool fusion combo plays?”
Heroes: “yess…” (actually makes floodgate turbo)
from now on im gonna have to vote based on what deck each candidate is playing and how based it is.
This was absolutely fantastic. So amazing. Thank you Joseph for being such a high caliber member of the community to even be able to get this close. :) Not even just about Yu-Gi-Oh. You got an incredible interview the first part of this. :)
MBT couldn't get an official collab with konami so he lobbied for an interview with a sitting congressman in order to get legislation passed mandating his inclusion in the next official yugioh reveal
Yugioh: the congressional Series
In this series I take your elected members of the senate and the house and beat them in a children’s card game
Bro, if Congress/the house resolved deadlocks with a duel that would actually be kind of sick
@@Damini368 That's how we slowly shift towards the world being destroyed/saved by card games like the anime. Don't start down that slippery slope.
@@mooncalf_4534 As opposed to the world as it is now? I’d take card games over pointless bickering any day.
Incredible video! MBT really is the perfect person to do this kind of stuff. Perfect way to represent the community, gj.
Can't wait to see Farfa play someone from the royal family.

god i hope MBT plays a people running about/huge revolution deck
Only if Maxwell plays The Huge Revolution is Over
The huge revolution is over is a hard counter to DPE, curiously.
Always nice to see non-stream personality MBT
Ngl Maxwell's earth machine machina deck is pretty goated. The MD number 97 with Hope and number 100 tech, Swords of revealing, Dracosack, Crusher run (which I'm sure none of us heard of), like damn
It's too messy and seems to lack Anger Knuckle, a card that ties the whole deck together. It will become goated once he cleans it up a bit and fully becomes junk enthusiast.
"dueling a member of congress" sounds like an actual yugioh anime plotline
This is incredible, really nice to see younger members in government. def gonna like and comment because i wanna see bigger connections to younger individuals who often feel excluded from politics when their views arent represented
It was honestly your Best video so far.
Jillian was explendid, Frost was on point, and you...were quite prepared. Good questions, good timing, and a good game. Well done Joseph. Now back to the bussy schedule 😉
More like an urgent schedule 😉
A year later, how this video isn't high on the view count is wild to me. Also congrats on Maxwell Frost on winning his reelection
Hearing about the upcoming improvements of the US railroad system as a detour from an earth machine deck discussion is just so right
This is a great way to get people to engage with politics.
If you ever get a chance to do this again, PLEASE do it. This was amazing
MBT's out here going, where no YGO anime ever dared to... seriously, of all the ridiculous shit that DM and GX specifically got up to, I am shocked there has never been a "Dueling congress" storyline to my knowledge in YGO.
I think this is the best yugioh video of all time. Congressman Maxwell here both played amazingly and answered Jillian’s questions all in spades with no issue! MBT and Maxwell heavily going back and forth was amazing. MBT and Jillian gave some amazing questions and dialog. Just a fantastic video and I love every bit!
holy shit Junior Journey really had some butterfly effects on the timeline
This video does a tonne of work in terms of summarising how far you've come in your Yugituber career so far MBT. The conversation with Maxwell felt casual, yet informative and meaningful, the questions you asked were very balanced and carefully crafted - not many people could have found themselves presented with this opportunity and grasped it so well. You should feel very proud of this!
This is peak Yugioh. I need for more of this to exist.
Yugioh players of America, start running for positions of government, I *WILL* vote for you if you make it known you play.
Ditto.
Unless they use Blackwings. Then their opponent will have to be on the level of a Marjorie for me to NOT vote for said opponent; F*** those birds.
MBT once again reminding us that the B standa for "Based".
Mono Based Tron
Dam MBT has come along way from Yelling out BUSSY on twitch , to doing a sit down duel with a politician
Content on your channel this week is going to be rough lmao
Content stealin piece of ...
@@flapskeygo why the hate on progrussy
@@The_Vanni he literally rips vod content without consent to make profit. MBT works hard for the content and this channel just steals it.
@@flapskeygo MBT clips is direct competition, and does get way more views. Any instance of progrussy getting better statistics are 100% due to it having earlier access/content not uploaded anywhere else. Mbt and friends also I guess, but it gets videos like 2 days later
This has to be one of my favorite yugioh videos on youtube. Great job with everyone involved making this video. This is the type of content I live for
*That moment when a congressman hits you with a Numeron Dragon*
(13:38)
As a Floridian duelist I LOVE this.
Also about the train track to the 3 MAIN REASONS to go to Florida.❤
MBT is a real 1 for this.
Please make that state better.
Too many Californians building their “I’m moving away from taxes” home though 😅
Pretty stupid of them, considering what's bound to happen to that home in a few years.
YO. He’s a kingdom hearts fan AND he plays earth machines!? Him and I would get along swimmingly. He has my vote.
Yugioh and KH? You, me, and him would get along swimmingly 😆
@@PkmnTrainerMario619 what decks do you like to play?
@Rundy Ftw Usually combo decks, two of my favorites have to be Synchrons and Fur Hire
@@PkmnTrainerMario619 yeah my favorite decks are rank 10 trains and giant ballpark mixed with battlewasps
OMG. This is so cool, man. Congrats and can’t wait to watch!
Fantastic interview. This is amazing that you are using your platform to have these kinds of conversations and put yourself in these spaces. All while doing it with the games we love. Hats off to you for this, great stuff as always
Thank you MBT, for caring enough to do the interview at the beginning and end of the video. It was important to hear Representative Frost's opinions and motivations.
An amazing video from Joseph and Jillian. And i really hope Maxwell keeps pushing forward
He should run for president and write a US bill to push for the banning of maxx c.
This may not be for everyone, but as a foreigner who is interested in us-politics and ygo this is just great content for me! :D
22:50 there is something really funny about seeing starlight DPE and common Swords of revealing light on the same field
goated content right here, great work!
Also, we need to make Maxwell say:
"You're third rate politicians with Fourth rate policy" while on the House floor.
really burying the lede here, which is that MBT played yugioh with a member of congress WHO IS YOUNGER THAN HE IS
MonoBoomerTron fr fr 😂
I was surprised to hear he was one of the oldest millennials bc that means he’s like… 40??
@@fosterdawson7339 29
@@fosterdawson7339 ye there's no way he is.
How old is MBT? I assumed he was 23 or 24
Might be the most ambitious crossover in yugioh history
I can't believe I'm only seeing this now but the dude's so chill
Unironically two of my favorite hobbies in politics and Yu-Gi-Oh mixing, you love to see it.
MBT got so fed up with Konami don't wanting to collab with him that he went and did a collab with the U.S. Government
The level of respect I would have for you if you used kashtira on this poor man would be astronomical
Not the video I was expecting! We need more people of our generations in Congress. It's good to see! Also he got me thinking about some strat for my own deck. That Gizmek seems real handy.
Genuinely glad there's a video like this here today. I'm very frustrated learning that congress is /still/ having hearings about that stupid fucking laptop, and that actual issues are still getting ignored.
Not much we can do I suppose.
He actually played really well honestly definitely awesome to have got the chance to see this duel and hear about politics in a glass kind of manner.
Thank you so much for the video! Being able to hear maxwell speak on a more personal and relaxed environment on something he is passionate about.
I love how the editor even got the olde Season 1 warp-like summoning noise when the monster hologram emerged in use here. Nice touch.
I was already super stoked when you announced this "collab" as a stream, but seeing how well realized this video is mind blowing.
I'm not even from the usa, but it's still incredibly nice hearing that someone from my age group has managed to land such a big opportunity to participate in politics, I really wish maxwell the best in his endeavors!
Never thought I would see a politician duel. Just feels like something that would only happen in the anime. Also I know Ice Barriers sucks but I love playing that deck and it is my main. Awesome match.
We should abolish democracy and have government positions determined by duels.
@@billcipher826 Holy shit, I was thinking the same thing!
@@juliogaytan20 what decks do you think politicians would play? Bernie definitely gives me dragon link vibes.
@Bill Cipher doesn't really matter. They probably all cheat lol
This video absolutely made my day! Really appreciated the interview and messaging in the opening as well. It's so easy to become cynical and disengaged when it comes to politics and policy.
This may be one of MBT's best videos absolutely loved it.
That was wild, not only did they get in a neat interview, but we got to see an a real live US Congressman pull Rank 8 shenanigans with Earth Machine. Gonna be hard to top this one.
"That's really on that card?!"
Really perpetuating the stereotype there, Joseph XD
This mix of politics and TCG is everything I’ve been looking for in a video. Just Subbed!!
This has to be one of the most important and amazing ygo videos of history so far.
This was an awesome video! Really happy this exists. Love that its also a blend of professionalism and having fun playing a game.
This was a great duel! Great job on organizing this as well as a great down to earth guy. MBT this was very well done. Maybe now we can convince him to have all Bills to be passed through a D-d-duel
Amazing fucking video. This channel really does prove that RUclips content like this has so much more potential than people give it credit for.
First of all the entire thing is just so incredibly funny and of course Joseph is aware of this, but both of them are so charismatic, as well as played a great game. The best thing about the entire thing is the Jillian content tho.
wow I’m blown away this was amazing, it was good yugioh, and good conversation. Thank you for this!!!
Great interview Joseph. The Daily Show has an opening. Watching this on the day Bill SB1248 is file in Florida. Good luck Congressman Maxwell Frost.
The Armstrong bossfight is a bit different than I remembered
Fantastic video. Not only is it really cool that you can say you've dueled a member of Congress, but I really appreciate you saying what the cards do. Rather that just saying "activate Denier, activate Malicious," you explained "I'll use Denier to place Malicious back into my deck, then banish Mali to grab Mali." As someone who doesn't know what every card does, this was just the right amount of explanation to understand what was going on at all times.
I’m glad Joseph is advocating with congress to get the time rules changed
