This is why he was never to be seen again.
They wanted to do a match for money, but the judges said they would get banned if they did. So, this was the non-money match for show, and then after the cameras went off was the real match. The second match took less than 10 minutes, but it was over 10 years ago, so I don't really remember it.
I couldn't imagine being friends with someone like Nizar. Just being a complete disrespectful tool. Like he could have just been polite and not an ass about all of it.
Also as to the grabbing another card, he seemed heated. I don't think it was intentional and definitely a slip up. I've made that mistake a couple times especially if I'm distracted or just not in the best mind.
@flyingchicken973 I mean, considering it wasn't a tournament duel, I would have probably asked if it was cool to do so? Like... i get it is shitty but there is no easy win. If he did, then he would have been called out for shuffling when he wasn't supposed to. If he didn't, we have people saying "well he knew his next draw." There was no real winning there, and it is an easy mistake, especially in that kind of stressful situation.

also... what judge? this was essentially a casual game. while they technically followed official procedure by leaving the extra card on top they didnt have to. it was not an official tournament game and thus not bound by official tournament rules.

14:27 - I remember this. Silva already had a reputation for being obnoxious and unlikeable at the time so when Jeff called him out alot of people got hyped because they wanted to see him get an ass whooping. I remember mikkivlogs popping off really hard after the match.
I played with Kevin Silva for a long time. We actually had a “team” for a short period. In like 3 regionals between the 4 of us we had like 7-8 top 8’s at so cal regionals in that short window (we were all teenagers then). I learned about this beef because of this video. As I stopped playing after that regional run and came back for one last event at ycs anaheim in 2011 (won the day 2 regional pod for my invite). Kevin was always a confident player and no surprise he won whatever the arg thing was (no clue since I left). He always wanted to play the best and he wanted to be known. As many of us did at the time. But hope your good Kevin as I haven’t seen or heard of you since 2011. Jeff jones was always a huge figure in the game. I know when we were younger we’d always say one day we’d be better or beat them. So I know that was always Kevin’s intention. Just as it was mine. We grew up playing the likes of Adam corn, emon when we were kids, and all the comic odyssey players. Kevin would travel from near San Diego to Los Angeles for events. He was all in. Maybe just caught up in the moment of his rise. I think he could’ve just been himself and could’ve grew. He really saw the game well. Always had good deck builders with him since it wasn’t his strength.
Its actually hella respectable having them front the money and turn the duel into a charity event, recording it and fronting the winnings for the players. W move for the tournament organizers.

Good to see they duke it out with a duel. In my area there was a group, when they had beef with someone they just beat them up once they left the local store and take their cards.
I unfortunately have been playing this game for 20 plus years.Roy Saint Clair taught me how to play. It was a pleasure may rest in peace. With that being said, these are the type of videos I look forward to watching continue to make these things.
After Six Sams were neutered by the ban list by having Shi En limited, and taking out the gateway while taking on a Tier 1 deck like Dino Rabbit made this match even more memorable.
That doesn't fix it, you still know where the card is, and certain cards can draw cards from the deck regardless of position which means knowing its in there is an advantage.
What Jeff Jones did is equivalent to what chess great Paul Morphy did. He was so good that he eventually quit playing because there was nobody who could challenge him. If he did accept a challenge from someone, though, he would offer odds (pawn odds, for instance) which essentially created a win-win kind of situation. If Paul won while giving odds, his greatness was more recognized. If he lost to a master while giving odds, it did nothing to his reputation. TLDR; Jeff Jones is a chess grandmaster.
Being someone that only collected yu-gi-oh cards when they were younger, never played, and only watched the show. I have no idea what's happening in the video or comment section lmao.
@@gingermlg actually it did he now knew it was a monster and knowing what your next card is in Yu-Gi-Oh gives you the advantage as that was pointed out when he set his five cards down he knew he would of needed protection for his next draw Now do I think he drew 7 on purpose? No it was obviously a mistake as you could hear the panic in his voice however putting that monster on top of his deck and setting the board for it was obviously a conscious choice as I said he should of placed it at the bottom
@@kyletucker3811 A) it's not that's schoolyard rules or maybe it's now but that duel wasn't a now duel B) What's his face only saw the back of the card not the front we did cause the camera was pointed at Blake's cards C) It was pointed out he went ahead with setting the five cards as he knew the next card was a monster card. D) As I stated do I think Blake in my previous comment do I think Blake purposely drew an extra card? No cause you could tell he panicked when he did but he obviously made a conscious choice about setting on top nice try though
I personally think the beef in Yugioh is fun, entertaining as long as it stays that way and doesn’t turn into a real fight or anything like that. It reminds of UFC or other sports where they talk trash about each other and then go out, duke it out and then the beef is settled and it’s all good. It’s fun to watch and adds a different level of excitement.
Bruh, the end of this 30mins card game analysis couldn't be more epic & accurate af Garret: Remember guys, we are playing a children card game. *Drop the mic*
Btw that was me beating Nizar with the gray mat in YCS Atlanta for $50. Be mindful I topped with Rescue Rabbit with X-1 after Swiss losing in top 16 in YCS Kansas City the month before. You can watch all 3 games. Sam Jones vs Nizar.
Great video! Coming from the FGC, which has a long and storied history of rivalries and beefs, this was fascinating to watch and learn about. Blake is basically the “Ghost of YGO” to me now lol
KevinSilva and I used to be friends back in Yugioh Online days. He was the same online as in person as I can remember haha. We used to chat for hours. Good times, good times. It was later after that I found out that he was challenging Jeff Jones. Insane Yugioh history right here. Great video!
Yea, trading cards is like playing a ball sport. It's more like chess, but you get your pieces on at a time in unknown order, and your pieces are dependent on how much money you put into it.
So when people watching who have no idea who these people are. Knowing that he was that unlikable makes the other dude acting out a lil more understandable
I do think that these types of duels would be nice to see more often. The issue is people probably don't know when people are just trying to "pal around" or not anymore.
How did Blake Ascetism in his game 3 scooper? You have to target a six sam with a different name and Shi En is at 2500, Kizan at 1800, it only gets attack boost if there’s 2 other names. Did Blake run Zanji?
Great vid I just started back after quitting 12 years ago.. my brain hurts I’ve compiled so much new yugi knowledge in this little time and I’m on day #3 my head is about to fall off.

Only lob era vintage cards and Tina with the 1996 edition cards(the most expensive, my era) Any advice bruh thanks. Subbed .
02:32 this way of thinking is elitist and dumb as hell in Yu-Gi-Oh of all things lol. I'd understand if this was fighting but this is a card game where there's no pride invested in an unranked match.

Good to see they duke it out with a duel. In my area there was a group, when they had beef with someone they just beat them up once they left the local store and take their cards.
not the rare hunters
Hey Garret I just wanted to say that it would be amazing if you would make a video about the one time World Chalice won a YCS in 2018.
This is like Day 100: this has been recommended so I just might
@@PhyYuGiOhI am interested in the story for sure.
My favorite event in Yugioh just for that. Surreal ass run
@@PhyYuGiOhplease😮😂❤❤
I wish any upcoming beefs within ygo community will be resolved with duel
Agreed.
I wish any upcoming beefs outside the ygo community will be resolved with duel
I wish beefs were resolved with duels.
Did Nazir ever make it out of the shadow realm? What about Kevin? Or are they just trapped in there, playing forever?
Kevin silva used to go to my locals before it closed, dude moved to mtg lol
@@JeremysajoniaDamn. That's rough lol. on another note, MTG's not bad either, both are some good ass card games
@@GEROKII yup i play mtg now too. Def a great game lol
@@Jeremysajonia damn, guy playing a card game literally owned by terrorists now.
@@Jeremysajonia😆
I unfortunately have been playing this game for 20 plus years.Roy Saint Clair taught me how to play.
It was a pleasure may rest in peace.
With that being said, these are the type of videos I look forward to watching continue to make these things.
Personally i think we should have MORE beef in our children's card game so I'm publicly challenging Phy to a duel
He won't he won't. No balls no balls
Man I don’t play modern at all. But your documentary style vids are so good that without understanding anything, you’ve earned my sub. Nice.
Man, I love whimsical and highly detailed videos about incredibly niche subcultures.
Imagine being world champion at a card game, and yet being unable to figure out how to wear a cap.
Was thinking the same thing. People who wear baseball caps like that drive me crazy
After Six Sams were neutered by the ban list by having Shi En limited, and taking out the gateway while taking on a Tier 1 deck like Dino Rabbit made this match even more memorable.
8:08, When I've mistakenly drew too many cards on a turn and saw what I drew, I'd always admit to the mistake and put the card UNDER my deck.
That doesn't fix it, you still know where the card is, and certain cards can draw cards from the deck regardless of position which means knowing its in there is an advantage.
@@venusjinn4984its the best way you can fix it
If they were doing a competitive match that should have immediately forced a rematch
Yugioh is NOT a children’s card game (not in the OCG at least).
Right
"Joey just faced Marik and won"
Aka what would have happened in a straight Duel
Aww man that Blake duel was legendary, and Silva learning to never mess with Jeff Jones was amazing. Miss that era of Yu-Gi-Oh. Ahh the golden age!
content idea: would love to see the strongest and weakest card per field type, throughout the history of the game. awesome videos as always Phy!
What Jeff Jones did is equivalent to what chess great Paul Morphy did. He was so good that he eventually quit playing because there was nobody who could challenge him.
If he did accept a challenge from someone, though, he would offer odds (pawn odds, for instance) which essentially created a win-win kind of situation. If Paul won while giving odds, his greatness was more recognized. If he lost to a master while giving odds, it did nothing to his reputation.
TLDR; Jeff Jones is a chess grandmaster.
The zezima of card games
“I didnt want any problems with this dude. My life points were low after a long trip” 😂
Honestly that last one comes off as more of a bar bet match than real beef.
Im so happy you covered this video. This is one of my all time favorite yugioh moments. I rewatch this video often haha.
Being someone that only collected yu-gi-oh cards when they were younger, never played, and only watched the show. I have no idea what's happening in the video or comment section lmao.
Bruh this video reminds me of the Chappelle show skit "True Hollywood stories about Rick James lol good video.
"A habitual line crosser." That's one of my favorites too. 😁
This reminds me more of the racial draft
Blake should of put the monster he Drew as the 7th card at the bottom of the deck the top no disrespect to him that was just kinda a meh move
Huh? It didn't change anything about his play.
@@gingermlg actually it did he now knew it was a monster and knowing what your next card is in Yu-Gi-Oh gives you the advantage as that was pointed out when he set his five cards down he knew he would of needed protection for his next draw
Now do I think he drew 7 on purpose? No it was obviously a mistake as you could hear the panic in his voice however putting that monster on top of his deck and setting the board for it was obviously a conscious choice as I said he should of placed it at the bottom
@@traigongamesA) it didn't and B) that's standard protocol since both of them saw the card.
@@kyletucker3811 A) it's not that's schoolyard rules or maybe it's now but that duel wasn't a now duel B) What's his face only saw the back of the card not the front we did cause the camera was pointed at Blake's cards C) It was pointed out he went ahead with setting the five cards as he knew the next card was a monster card. D) As I stated do I think Blake in my previous comment do I think Blake purposely drew an extra card? No cause you could tell he panicked when he did but he obviously made a conscious choice about setting on top nice try though
Watching Jeff jones say “I don’t play those games” “say it to my face” over a ygo game is hilarious 😂
Some Samurai honor shit here my boys
0:33 a bored god, that's who
More beef videos, i need them
First time channel viewer, and I immediately subbed. Show me more Yugi Beefs and Big Rivalries.
Damn I need more beefs to happen so you can make a part two 😂. Haven’t played in 15 years but this just felt nostalgic. Great vid
I personally think the beef in Yugioh is fun, entertaining as long as it stays that way and doesn’t turn into a real fight or anything like that. It reminds of UFC or other sports where they talk trash about each other and then go out, duke it out and then the beef is settled and it’s all good. It’s fun to watch and adds a different level of excitement.
This do be some real-life anime moments. This is good stuff right here.
This is one of your best videos to date
Maybe the best
Bruh, the end of this 30mins card game analysis couldn't be more epic & accurate af
Garret: Remember guys, we are playing a children card game.
*Drop the mic*
You got to do beef with the guy called “The Yugioh Hustler” that fight lives rent free
2 double quarter pounders, large fries, and TWO 2-litre orange sodas.
He ate all that just to get Tiger Knee'd in the face.
Hell yes, great yt ygo lore
Blake taking out gateway and winning is like Goku giving Moro a Senzu bean. All the respect to Blake for standing on business
These vids be mad interesting and I ain’t played or watched Yugioh in years😭
Btw that was me beating Nizar with the gray mat in YCS Atlanta for $50.
Be mindful I topped with Rescue Rabbit with X-1 after Swiss losing in top 16 in YCS Kansas City the month before.
You can watch all 3 games.
Sam Jones vs Nizar.
Garret keep up the good work my brotha. Always rooting for you! More content your content is 1 of 1!
GOAT
This was very interesting, keep this kind of content up!
I still love the jeff jones grudge match.
Peak of an era
Funniest thing is getting a Yu-Gi-Oh ad before the vid
I remember this. The good ol days lol pro Winston instigating in the background lol
Great video! Coming from the FGC, which has a long and storied history of rivalries and beefs, this was fascinating to watch and learn about. Blake is basically the “Ghost of YGO” to me now lol
This video was amazing 😂 would love to see more of this! Great work!
"guys it's just a children's card game"
I see no child around
Easily one of the BEST story tellers and content creators to ever grace our small niche of
Yu-Gi-Oh! RUclips! Another straight BANGER!! 🔥🔥🔥
KevinSilva and I used to be friends back in Yugioh Online days. He was the same online as in person as I can remember haha. We used to chat for hours. Good times, good times. It was later after that I found out that he was challenging Jeff Jones. Insane Yugioh history right here. Great video!
The good old days. I remember that Jeff and Kevin drama when I recorded it. You are definitely a good story teller
Yea, trading cards is like playing a ball sport. It's more like chess, but you get your pieces on at a time in unknown order, and your pieces are dependent on how much money you put into it.
its really important to remember how unlikeable Nizar was at this time.
Why does that matter when it comes to fair reporting of something
So when people watching who have no idea who these people are. Knowing that he was that unlikable makes the other dude acting out a lil more understandable
Im not interested in yugioh but videos like this are interesting, good job!
Hope you get some motivation back 💪
They weren't bogus claims, Nizar was literally banned for 2 years by Konami, officially. He is a known cheater.
Correct, 2 years for gambling related offenses, and then a second time for arguing with Konami tournament officials while interrupting a match.
Wasn't banned for cheating. Was banned for other reasons
@Chaoxide666 was known for cheating though
So he wasn’t banned for cheating
This comment is how media works in a nutshell. The replies prove news should be a forum, not a presentation.
4:50 John didn’t do anything righteous either
you had a perfect opportunity to call somebody out
That first story plays out like a Chappelle show true Hollywood stories lol
I do think that these types of duels would be nice to see more often. The issue is people probably don't know when people are just trying to "pal around" or not anymore.
I'll never forget the first time I dueled Jeff at my locals, I spilled grape soda on his playmat. 💀
(We're cool, it was a decade ago now 😂😂)
How did Blake Ascetism in his game 3 scooper? You have to target a six sam with a different name and Shi En is at 2500, Kizan at 1800, it only gets attack boost if there’s 2 other names. Did Blake run Zanji?
Zanji was in every build that run asceticism at that time
@@fernandoibarra5314 gotcha
I love your videos. I can tell how much work you do behind the scenes in research alone. ❤
Great vid I just started back after quitting 12 years ago.. my brain hurts I’ve compiled so much new yugi knowledge in this little time and I’m on day #3 my head is about to fall off. I’m compiling all this new yugi knowledge from my vacant years… any advice think a blue eyes deck counts make it.. I was thinking of collecting and all.
Only lob era vintage cards and Tina with the 1996 edition cards(the most expensive, my era)
Any advice bruh thanks. Subbed .
02:32 this way of thinking is elitist and dumb as hell in Yu-Gi-Oh of all things lol. I'd understand if this was fighting but this is a card game where there's no pride invested in an unranked match.
