55:00 To add some trivia onto Kagemusha of the Blue Flame: it's technically the first Six Samurai/Shien monster ever printed, in the OCG anyway. Its name translates to "Shien's Body Double" and both Kagemusha of the Six Samurai and Shadow of the Six Samurai - Shien call back to it. Quite a heritage for an uber weak super early vanilla!
I have been hit by Simon's Exodia. I was about 5 when this game came out. I'm pretty sure I cried for a while. This game felt like a kick in the balls in 2002.
@Jon_Oh he has to get in in his first couple of hands to avoid playing one of the pieces. I would assume that's why it's possible because it's usually a turn 0 kill. A short Google search can back up my claim. Considering RNG manipulation can force certain opening hands, it's probably not hard to recreate.
22:25 "You shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house." So just make sure you cover your windows and you should be able to nail a few kids with some rocks lmao
The simple immediate way to tell if a monster has the secondary fire typing is if its first guardian star is Mars, as Mars is the stand in for Fire in the alignment system that the early handheld Yugioh games used (which Forbidden Memories mostly copied, with it just changing it to "Guardian Stars" and altering the mechanics to have an alignment advantage give 500 Attack/Defense points rather than instantly kill the disadvantaged monster). The other Guardian Stars are stand ins for the following alignments: Jupiter -> Forest Saturn -> Wind Uranus -> Earth Pluto -> Thunder Neptune -> Water Sun -> Light Moon -> Fiend Venus -> Dreams/Illusions Mercury -> Shadow Once you realize this, it becomes much easier to remember the Guardian Star advantage chart (as it now makes sense), remember fusions based on secondary typings that rely on these alignments for fusion and equip purposes (such as non-Pyro Fire monsters, and Shadow Sorcerers for the Ushi Oni fusion), and it (mostly) makes more sense which Guardian Stars each monster has.
Never played flasebound kingdom but the mechanics you've described sound familiar (i'm assuming that was the behaviour of that game) I'll definitely neeed to brush up on this when i hit the harder challenge runs with the NPC character decks!
Yes! He’s back! Hope you had a good new year. This was a super fun run to watch. I’ve never been Exodia’d by Siamun but Heishin 2 has once ever. One of the only times I have ever rage quit a game because I was into double figure final 6 attempts when that happened lol. But Exodia win con deck sounds miserable in this game so good luck when you get round to that one.
Lillylazer_666 back at it again with another Super Thanks! I gotta figure out how to reward streaks at this rate 😅 Seriously thank you so much! Ouch! Exodia'd in the Final 6 that's gotta be rough😂 Exodia deck will definitely test my patience, especially when the game only lets you have 1 copy of each card! Glad you enjoyed the video hope you had an awesome new year. I have not forgotten about your Spellcaster vote - that type has A LOT attached to it so i want to do it justice when i run it.
Honestly the equip card spam at the end is very nostalgic for me because when I beat the game ages ago it was equip spamming Summoned Skull since it has a TON of equip cards it can use, it's why I'm really looking forward to the fiend run, Summoned Skull is definitely going to be an MVP in it.
Haven't commented for a while, but your videos are as awesome as ever! You could say this one in particular was... lit. I'll show myself out. I'd love to see the Winged Beasts run, even though that will probably be quite painful. But I believe in you! And can't wait to see the plot of the next video.
Thank you again DeltaSith for the support! +1 to winged beasts, In my head i'm thinking they'll be strong but expect me to be humbled on that one real quick! Seriouly, thank you once again! Have an awesome one
@@Jon_Oh I don't think you'll have any serious difficulties after already having completed hard runs such as the ritual or the sea serpent run! I can't think of a decent winged beast other than Crimon Sunbird - but then again, a card with 2300 base ATK probably beats a lot of the other types
So wait...we're coming up on a format where Pyro is the best deck in the game and just a few days ago Konami revealed they made a Pyro archetype inspired by Dark Souls (Ashened)....and this is when Jon_Oh releases the Pyro run that starts with Dark Souls gameplay? What is this timeline.
Fun fact: At the current moment you can play Fireyarou in duel links, it's part of the "noodle art" strategy in rush duels. It's one of the better monsters in the deck because of its relatively high attack as well of his typing/attribute and him being a normal monster all being relevant.
These are like a interesting Yu gi oh movies. Everytime I watch one. The silly story. The card facts. How the deck works. All so good. Hope this year is a great one

Loved all the dark souls references in this playthrough. I just started a new playthrough of DS2 right before watching this video, so the timing was oddly satisfying
Can't wait to have my questions about this Deck answered! Such as "Pyro?", What Pyro?", and finally "There are enough Pyros in this game for you to beat anyone at all?"
You blazed through all of them duelists in an ardent, searing form mixing everything I love and it warms my heart. I love Dark Souls with a burning passion that sets my soul ablaze! Incredible run! Super witty commentary as always but it somehow became better. Also, I'm hopeful I'll get my Machine deck run this year! lmao
I always wondered why the pyro type was ever created, since the FIRE atribute exists. Every pyro card could be another type entirely and just have the FIRE attribute. Vermillion Sparow? Spellcaster. Hinotama soul? Fiend. Flame Cerberus? Beast. etc etc. This applies to Aqua and WATER as well. But I guess that's what makes YGO and thus Forbiden Memories so unique :] Also the duel against Kapura was funny, true a back and forth duel.
Hey man, absolutely wicked you're killing it with yhe forbidden memories vids. Your editing is getting noticeably better, can't wait to see where you take the channel after this series.
Kinda shocked to see how many equips fire eye can take, never really given it a chance as anything other than flame cerberus fusion fodder. Never realized how few pyro cards there really were, probably because so many of secret type cards count as pyro. Given how frustrating this game can be it's kind of cathartic to see it all burned down. You know, after all that fire the soil is likely pretty rich, maybe time for a plant run? (:
Nice one! I love the broken quantity of equips. I'm doing a Female run myself and having trouble into ATECing for magic/equips. They just don't drop! By the way, although it's not a rule, those secondary pyro card all have Mars as first Guardian Star. Mars relates to Fire, and in a sense, all cards that have that option are aligned to Fire (although it doesn't mean all get fire equipping cards, due to Konami's randomness). Nice video! Looking forward to seeing the next!
Good luck with A-Tec, it's a punish but persistance with pegasus will get you what you're looking for. Hope you're using a Rank Calculator to work out when you can end the duel early. And obviously using trap cards boosts your score exponentially. And point taken with the Mars star, most of the game equips were sloppily put together based on guardian stars i believe
After seeing that one duel where fire eye got boosted to 3,800 Atk, it makes one wonder if it’s possible to win (or how far one can go) with a deck of under 1,000 Atk Monsters. Edit: I call it the Pheasants Gambit Deck.
How the zucc do you only have 17k subs? Hecc how am I only now realizing that? I started binging your content like 3 months ago, this shit is good and your humor is a mood. Somebody get this guy a silver play button already.
Love your creative story telling. Glad you cleared up that you can't beat the game with Burn damage because that would have been my question for this Vid My vote is still for Machine type next.
I think i might have gotten exodia'd once but my memory is foggy. I feel Iike almost lost the duel, pulled a fusion out of my backside and was like "If i lose, im quitting..." Only to be exodia'd within his last like 1-6 cards and of course he immediately drew it. I played this game like people played ff7 growing up. The art and music really pulled me in.
For someone who is essentially putting out the exact same video dozens of times, the production and writing of these are absolutely insane. Well played.
I remember being home sick from school for like 3 days straight and I went back to play this on my original PS1 and Simon pulled out an exodia while I was trying to get a thunder dragon practicing the fusion pieces on how to do it the best way. It was crazy I didn’t know he could even do that and I had to google it
ouch that's rough! Truthfully in my first run i didn't know about twin head fusions so i ended up wiping to kaiba each time because i soley relied on Pumpkings & Mystical Sands
Can't believe that I just discovered your series Yesterday and I already watched everything! Keep up with this series please! I'm learning a lot about this game (one of my favorites) with you As suggestion, you could do a run with machine monsters! I know sebek drops a Metalzoa but I was never rewarded with one for me, even after 900 duels... For me it is the most difficult drop by far
In Vermillion sparrow's defense: If you get hit by lightning you end up with burns so... 🤷♂ What I can't support is fusing him with Pyro + warriors. Dude is clearly more of a spellcaster
Hey man, congrats on your channels growth. I scrolled through your catalog and wanted to say hell yeah to you for the fact that you made lets plays for ages and finally hit a formula that people love. You rock and forbidden memories rocks
Thank you rick! Safe to say the attention these videos have gotten have blown me away, most of my channel are old twitch vods which are a bit too long to digest - my goal between the yugioh runs will be to re-do some of those challenges and post them back up as 1-2h vids. Thank you for the support my dude!
@@Jon_Oh keep going! It's awesome you've built a big audience. If you get to the point where you need to switch up formats, id be down to listen to anything yugioh related. Would love to hear your analysis and thoughts about TCG subjects
Didn't get exodia'd by Simon, BUT, I happened to get another very mega lucky thing happening to me. I beat Jono 2nd in the first battle against him to unlock him in the Free Duel, he dropped a Meteor B. Dragon. Suffice to say I freaked out. (Drop rate is 0.38%)
I finally subscribed, I've been watching for a while now but the content is amazing. I played duelist of roses growing up and had no idea another game like it existed. I hope you have a long and successful career because you're amazing to watch.
Aww thank you so much! Giving me all the warm and fuzzies on a Wednesday, well Forbidden Memories is technically the prequel to DoR because the card password line up between games
For Valentines month (I'm assuming you won't have it done before the day so all good), you should either do Females or Fairy types next. Nice DemiMeramon reference BTW =D
Seeing Flame Cerberus do so much work at the end was nice to see. As a kid, that was the card I relied on the most. Although I never got through the tournament arc when I was younger, that card still ended up as one of my favorites from this game.
To add to the Phoenix discussion: "Death Phoenix: Avatar of Doom" was released for a Duel Masters movie, which referenced *Mega Man Battle Network* of all things in its opening. It is also a Giga-level Battle Chip in Battle Network 5. Interestingly, Knightmare Phoenix is a Link monster, and the Link era introduced the Cyberse type, alongside an anime that had a theming about networks/technology/"links" between people... Which is very much in line with Battle Network's aesthetic and concepts. I'm not saying Joey is *right* about the whole conspiracy thing, but all this makes you think... 🤔
I have never played this game but the humor and obscure yugioh facts caught my interest, then the addition of conure yells in the background made me stay for the whole thing ♥
To answer your question he actually Exodia'd me on turn 4, I was just a kid and literally had ZERO clue what just happened and it went on my shelf. Only recently nearly 22 years later I realized how much of a broken mess this game was and realized "Oh I just got cheated" lmao that was the day "Screw this guy in particular" was added to my list of phrases.
@@Jon_Oh Oh it really was, but I won't lie seeing you do these runs actually makes me really happy simply because I wouldn't ever have the patience for it lmao
@@gundog39 idk Im just not a fan of watching my opponent do a 5 minute card combo turn and then i get to play for like 10 seconds and then watch my opponent for another 5 minutes and then Im dead.
@@Geemo90 You're braver than me, I only started playing MD a couple of weeks ago and I'm still picking my way through solo. The A.I is tough enough, the combo's that thing can pull off are insane enough. 🤣
One of my favorite series :) great timing mate I was feeling a bit down, thank you for all your hard work. I really enjoy your content and you are a great guy!
Loved watching all these videos, your storylines and humor are brillant. I am also surprised you havent mentioned that the final two fights are against Macho Man XD
I want to do them justice since there are so many subtypes mixed in with them "Dark Spellcaser" "Mercury Spellcaster" "Females" "TIme Wizards" list goes on
To say this game hates the player is the mother of all understatements, just chalked up my 302nd win against Jono 2nd and still no Meteor Black Dragon. To add insult to injury he's dropped "left arm of the forbidden one" 5 times which has same drop percentage as M.B.D🤣😖😭 Loved the story in this episode with Heishin the fireman, doesn't that technically make him the good guy in this story.😂😉
In regards to the burn deck maybe it could be done as a “beat the game without attacking” challenge. Where you combine the burn cards with playing Millennium shield and labyrinth wall. Have the opponents attack into them in facedown defense to maybe get that extra 2500 damage you need. Although as I’m typing I’d imagine that would only work in the early game when you’re facing monsters significantly under 3000 attack.
The problem of Nitemare still stands.... he is almost impossible to deck out as he needs to fuse at least twice (which he almost never does due to his deck RNG) :(
The thing with the weird typing is a thing like blast juggler. You could do a fusion with a beast for the flame Cerberus, or if they're weak you get machine wolf instead.
When i first scrolled past this, my brain went "yea this cant be too bad, theres a lot of fire monsters" but then i remembered pyro and fire arent the same thing.
As someone who was inspired to buy the game and completely play through it due to your videos. I’d personally love to see either Rock or Female next since Mystical Sand was my go to card for a massive chunk of the game.
Every time I see one of these in my Sub feed, I have to stop and watch it. Your skits throughout are too much fun. I cannot wait to see where the next one goes.
Amazing that this has dropped Jono! Thank you so very much for picking the Pyro deck, always was my favourite. Thank you for showing my comment /donation in video. You're an absolute legend Jono
I love the different ways you alter the story based on the theme of the deck. Guess, the role of villain and hero are kind of flipped this time around since your goal is to quite literally watch the world burn 😂
will there a be a jars only run? :p (Maybe if impossible you could do a object only run, where you also include sub types that are objects like thrones)

Kinda shocked to see how many equips fire eye can take, never really given it a chance as anything other than flame cerberus fusion fodder. Never realized how few pyro cards there really were, probably because so many of secret type cards count as pyro.
Given how frustrating this game can be it's kind of cathartic to see it all burned down.
You know, after all that fire the soil is likely pretty rich, maybe time for a plant run? (:
+1 to plants! They'll be interesting
Nice one! I love the broken quantity of equips. I'm doing a Female run myself and having trouble into ATECing for magic/equips. They just don't drop!
By the way, although it's not a rule, those secondary pyro card all have Mars as first Guardian Star. Mars relates to Fire, and in a sense, all cards that have that option are aligned to Fire (although it doesn't mean all get fire equipping cards, due to Konami's randomness).
Nice video! Looking forward to seeing the next!
Good luck with A-Tec, it's a punish but persistance with pegasus will get you what you're looking for. Hope you're using a Rank Calculator to work out when you can end the duel early. And obviously using trap cards boosts your score exponentially. And point taken with the Mars star, most of the game equips were sloppily put together based on guardian stars i believe
You have no idea how happy I am that you've officially added exodia to the list
Someone in here has to be because it sure isn't me!
After seeing that one duel where fire eye got boosted to 3,800 Atk, it makes one wonder if it’s possible to win (or how far one can go) with a deck of under 1,000 Atk Monsters.
Edit: I call it the Pheasants Gambit Deck.
if fusions are allowed it's doable. If not, then i'd probably sub out monsters each duel for better Guardian Star Matchups
@@Jon_Oh Hmmm….no Fusions but I agree with your idea on how to work it without the fusions.
How the zucc do you only have 17k subs? Hecc how am I only now realizing that? I started binging your content like 3 months ago, this shit is good and your humor is a mood. Somebody get this guy a silver play button already.
Pull some strings for me "ign" 🤣
Love your creative story telling.
Glad you cleared up that you can't beat the game with Burn damage because that would have been my question for this Vid
My vote is still for Machine type next.
+1 to machines, i'm keen to try them out too
I think i might have gotten exodia'd once but my memory is foggy. I feel Iike almost lost the duel, pulled a fusion out of my backside and was like "If i lose, im quitting..." Only to be exodia'd within his last like 1-6 cards and of course he immediately drew it. I played this game like people played ff7 growing up. The art and music really pulled me in.
I can say that i've never been exodia'd in this game, now that i've said it im expecting to be immediately exodiad in my next playthrough
Taking 2024 Modern Yugioh to 2001 is pretty cool
For someone who is essentially putting out the exact same video dozens of times, the production and writing of these are absolutely insane. Well played.
Aww thank you Shino! they get repetative so i need to keep things fresh where i can
I remember being home sick from school for like 3 days straight and I went back to play this on my original PS1 and Simon pulled out an exodia while I was trying to get a thunder dragon practicing the fusion pieces on how to do it the best way. It was crazy I didn’t know he could even do that and I had to google it
ouch that's rough! Truthfully in my first run i didn't know about twin head fusions so i ended up wiping to kaiba each time because i soley relied on Pumpkings & Mystical Sands
Can't believe that I just discovered your series Yesterday and I already watched everything! Keep up with this series please! I'm learning a lot about this game (one of my favorites) with you
As suggestion, you could do a run with machine monsters!
I know sebek drops a Metalzoa but I was never rewarded with one for me, even after 900 duels... For me it is the most difficult drop by far
Welcome to the channel, enjoy your stay! Planning to keep these going till all types & characters are done :) +1 to machines, can't wait to try those
In Vermillion sparrow's defense: If you get hit by lightning you end up with burns so... 🤷♂
What I can't support is fusing him with Pyro + warriors. Dude is clearly more of a spellcaster
Agreed!
I have been waiting since Christmas for this new video
😢
Haha, definetly my new favorite series! Good show!
Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely more to come as i get around to them
I feel partly responsible for exodia. lol.
oh trust me, you all will be named and shamed lol
Man the thought and effort that goes into these videos are unfathomable. Great job man and keep it up!
Aww thank you! Yes , the editing and recording takes about as much time as the run itself
22:50 JAR RUN FOR THE LOLS???
Pls no 🤣
@@Jon_Oh JUST FOR THE LOLS
@@Jon_OhF O R T H E L O L S
Hey man, congrats on your channels growth. I scrolled through your catalog and wanted to say hell yeah to you for the fact that you made lets plays for ages and finally hit a formula that people love. You rock and forbidden memories rocks
Thank you rick! Safe to say the attention these videos have gotten have blown me away, most of my channel are old twitch vods which are a bit too long to digest - my goal between the yugioh runs will be to re-do some of those challenges and post them back up as 1-2h vids. Thank you for the support my dude!
@@Jon_Oh keep going! It's awesome you've built a big audience. If you get to the point where you need to switch up formats, id be down to listen to anything yugioh related. Would love to hear your analysis and thoughts about TCG subjects
Didn't get exodia'd by Simon, BUT, I happened to get another very mega lucky thing happening to me. I beat Jono 2nd in the first battle against him to unlock him in the Free Duel, he dropped a Meteor B. Dragon. Suffice to say I freaked out. (Drop rate is 0.38%)
Wow! That luck!
Time to binge watch starting from this! I’ve been watching all your series and my last one was the christmas video! Keep it up bro!
Aww thank you! Enjoy the reruns!
Pyro deck? Someone stop this man he's on fire
🔥👁🔥
I finally subscribed, I've been watching for a while now but the content is amazing. I played duelist of roses growing up and had no idea another game like it existed. I hope you have a long and successful career because you're amazing to watch.
Aww thank you so much! Giving me all the warm and fuzzies on a Wednesday, well Forbidden Memories is technically the prequel to DoR because the card password line up between games
I'd honestly love to see plant. That type of monster is underloved in YuGiOh, and it'd be interesting to see how a Plant only deck would go.
+1 to plants, there are definitely a handfull of carrds that make that deck runnable
2:45 look up "Speedrunner gets EXODIA'D after 13 hours run" here on youtube
Gosh i remember that one, bloody heishin!
This was a burning desire of mine. I need more of this in my life.
🔥👁🔥 fire eye approves and assures you that theres more to come
@@Jon_Oh bombastic fire eye
1:00:15 after growing up on avatar: the last airbender im used to fire users also having lightning.
🤣 accurate!
For Valentines month (I'm assuming you won't have it done before the day so all good), you should either do Females or Fairy types next. Nice DemiMeramon reference BTW =D
Gosh +1 to both! And ill see what i can do
Seeing Flame Cerberus do so much work at the end was nice to see. As a kid, that was the card I relied on the most. Although I never got through the tournament arc when I was younger, that card still ended up as one of my favorites from this game.
It carries the early game, such a great card
To add to the Phoenix discussion:
"Death Phoenix: Avatar of Doom" was released for a Duel Masters movie, which referenced *Mega Man Battle Network* of all things in its opening. It is also a Giga-level Battle Chip in Battle Network 5.
Interestingly, Knightmare Phoenix is a Link monster, and the Link era introduced the Cyberse type, alongside an anime that had a theming about networks/technology/"links" between people...
Which is very much in line with Battle Network's aesthetic and concepts.
I'm not saying Joey is *right* about the whole conspiracy thing, but all this makes you think... 🤔
Reading this comment brings me joy purely because there are others in here that love Duel Masters
I have never played this game but the humor and obscure yugioh facts caught my interest, then the addition of conure yells in the background made me stay for the whole thing ♥
Aww thanks for the visit! Hope the next few are just as good!
To answer your question he actually Exodia'd me on turn 4, I was just a kid and literally had ZERO clue what just happened and it went on my shelf. Only recently nearly 22 years later I realized how much of a broken mess this game was and realized "Oh I just got cheated" lmao that was the day "Screw this guy in particular" was added to my list of phrases.
🤣🤣 thats rough buddy
@@Jon_Oh Oh it really was, but I won't lie seeing you do these runs actually makes me really happy simply because I wouldn't ever have the patience for it lmao
That barn matchstick puzzle is going to keep me up at night.
thought i was a genius as a kid when i figured out the solution
If you're still having trouble it's the middle one.
This has easily become my favourite youtube series. It got me to try Master Duel and I absolutely hate it so you can tell its a good TCG
You want to see the shameless price gouging that goes on with the TCG, how come you had such a bad time with Master Duel ?.
@@gundog39 idk Im just not a fan of watching my opponent do a 5 minute card combo turn and then i get to play for like 10 seconds and then watch my opponent for another 5 minutes and then Im dead.
Gosh the simplicity of this game is refreshing compared to the 2-Player solitare that is the TCG
@@Geemo90 You're braver than me, I only started playing MD a couple of weeks ago and I'm still picking my way through solo. The A.I is tough enough, the combo's that thing can pull off are insane enough. 🤣
One of my favorite series :) great timing mate I was feeling a bit down, thank you for all your hard work. I really enjoy your content and you are a great guy!
Anytime UraniumBandit! always glad that i could brighten somebody's day :)
I've been Exodiaded by him once, but it was my fault, I was trying to find a way to deck him out
The unluckiness needed for that to happen!
Loved watching all these videos, your storylines and humor are brillant. I am also surprised you havent mentioned that the final two fights are against Macho Man XD
Aww thank you! Oh trust me, there are plenty of tropes for Sebek & Neku, macho men is definitely one of them
Again, dragon with the pocket station fully allowed
I cannot wait for that!
Jon: Fun fact, Oil floats on water.
Me: *remembering Dane Cook* NO! GET BACK IN THE FEIRY WATER!
Ah yes, the alternate universe where the Pharoah became your standard arsonist with anarchist leanings
Strangely has less plot holes than the actual storyline 😅
Been waiting for more!! I’m a Spellcaster duelist, so can’t wait till you get to them eventually!
I want to do them justice since there are so many subtypes mixed in with them "Dark Spellcaser" "Mercury Spellcaster" "Females" "TIme Wizards" list goes on
To say this game hates the player is the mother of all understatements, just chalked up my 302nd win against Jono 2nd and still no Meteor Black Dragon. To add insult to injury he's dropped "left arm of the forbidden one" 5 times which has same drop percentage as M.B.D🤣😖😭
Loved the story in this episode with Heishin the fireman, doesn't that technically make him the good guy in this story.😂😉
I remember dueling meadow mage around 367 times iirc.
Then I got the Meteor Black Dragon from Jono 2nd.
100% the game does not like you 🤣
In regards to the burn deck maybe it could be done as a “beat the game without attacking” challenge. Where you combine the burn cards with playing Millennium shield and labyrinth wall. Have the opponents attack into them in facedown defense to maybe get that extra 2500 damage you need. Although as I’m typing I’d imagine that would only work in the early game when you’re facing monsters significantly under 3000 attack.
Maybe you could S-tech the opponents who are too strong for that strategy?
The problem of Nitemare still stands.... he is almost impossible to deck out as he needs to fuse at least twice (which he almost never does due to his deck RNG) :(
I knew you could do it
Hinotama soul was the first card I ever got, Wayyyyyy back when. Its epic. Lol
The thing with the weird typing is a thing like blast juggler. You could do a fusion with a beast for the flame Cerberus, or if they're weak you get machine wolf instead.
Certain cards have priorities on the fusion result. Its hit and miss with some dual types
When i first scrolled past this, my brain went "yea this cant be too bad, theres a lot of fire monsters" but then i remembered pyro and fire arent the same thing.
🤣 dw i did the same thing
Feck yeah, Jon_Oh continues the series.
Best way to recover from a work weekend of dealing with drunk jack-holes at the bar.
Glad you enjoyed it! Nights would go a lot quicker if you were able to be drunk behind the bar 😅
As someone who was inspired to buy the game and completely play through it due to your videos. I’d personally love to see either Rock or Female next since Mystical Sand was my go to card for a massive chunk of the game.
Mystical sand, crimson bird and twin headed thunder dragon are the GOAT of this game
+1 to rocks and i cant wait to do those!
Every time I see one of these in my Sub feed, I have to stop and watch it. Your skits throughout are too much fun. I cannot wait to see where the next one goes.
Aww glad you like it sionfel! hope the next one is just as good if not better!
That MGS notification tune is lit
Yeees. New video. Gosh I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks a lot for brightening my Sunday here in Germany
Glad you like them! 😁😁
I can't be the only one who feels like GPT fumbled that math at 14:35
Only problem in that logic is that 200 wins = 1000 _games_, rather than _losses_. 1000 games at 2.5 min apiece would take 41 hrs and 40 min.
@@retnuhytnuob4068 clutch reply, but yeah all it takes is one mistake to completely fuck up an entire equation
Yeah that one was completely my bad 😅
Amazing that this has dropped Jono! Thank you so very much for picking the Pyro deck, always was my favourite.
Thank you for showing my comment /donation in video. You're an absolute legend Jono
My pleasure! Thank you right back for the support and im glad you enjoyed the video!
I love the different ways you alter the story based on the theme of the deck. Guess, the role of villain and hero are kind of flipped this time around since your goal is to quite literally watch the world burn 😂
The stories either make my life easy or make it hard depending on how much the plot resonates with me lol
I remember my friends and I throwing rocks at each other. Those were good times.
🤣 well one of you at least remembers
nice one :D when the reptiles enter in action, maybe your win rate will drop jejeje the first noup you can't win
+1 to reptiles and they'll definitely be problematic
will there a be a jars only run? :p
(Maybe if impossible you could do a object only run, where you also include sub types that are objects like thrones)
Gosh it would basically be an Ushi Only solo run
Glad i got bonfires, cant wait to try this list at locals
🤣 if its even runnable
I have an insane idea: What if you try to beat the game, but you are obligated to play the card that your opponent gives you, even if it sucks?
Yes i love it, it will be one of my "misc" runs i do. "Reverse xmas" mode where i take that deck and make it worse each duel
