This Format was way better than last years. 4 top decks with some good amount of rogue. NAWCQ didn't have that many rogue but other Ones had awesome surprising rogue deck and one of the rogue Altergiest made it 1st place at German Nationals. It's not perfect and never please everyone but it's better than dealing with Extra Link, Gumblar Hand Loop, or Danger Darkworld FTK Solitare Yugioh which it's not supposed to be. The future looks pretty good at least for now.
Integrating a whole Salamangreat deck in your Altergeist list was a pretty spicy tech choice but it looks like it ultimately paid off! Jokes aside though, 2019 has been a fantastic year for Yugioh, and with your content in my subscription box I was assured to have fun playing. Watching your stuff has taught me a lot, man. I was able to get 4 regional tops ever since I started watching you!! That's actually crazy because in the 3 years between my beginning and starting to watch you I only managed to get two... Here's to an other great year, (hopefully) and good luck in your future events, Doug!
This was my first NAWCQ and it was a lot of fun (despite the fact I did horribly) , it was great meeting you and all the other yugitubers I saw. Thanks again for signing my spheal card and mat
I was walking by at the NWCQ and saw you playing. You seem to be really good with the deck and it looked like you were having fun with it. Glad you got invite for 2020. Oh and thanks for signing my Exodia Leg 🤙🤙🤙
I also got my Regional win, Doug! It was my first qualification, and I won it with my Train bois against Thunders playing a prize card. I was super pumped
Congrats on getting your invite! I was definitely rooting for you after you took me out (the Trickstar player). Hope to see you at some events this year!
Honestly you should try cutting the debug. As you said its a handtrap magnet. You can play more consistency cards and then you can't open hands of foxy/debug. The first place dragon dueliest winner played salad no dbug
Anthony Peluso At the same time, you have to Remeber dragon duellists are still kids. Yes, they are competitive, but in comparison to the normal competive section, you gotta go with the older players. Also, even if it is a handtrap magnet, you still play them. Isolde? I think you mean handtrap magnet. But people still play it because it’s worth the risk
I am going to my first ever yugioh event this august in portland! I had so much fun watching the WCQ coverage that once I saw the YCS was in Portland, i had to go! Hopefully you'll decide to go to the first YCS of the season so I can have you sign all my common salamangreat cards.
Dzeeff! I cannot see the text on the card because its holographic, and you mumble the names of the cards and use abbreviations. I'm just getting back in to the game, so I don't know what a violet chimera or starving venom is, and there's different versions of those cards? I'm sure the competitive players know exactly what the cards are by the shorthand name and the picture, but I can't tell because I'm just restarting.
It wouldn't take that much more time to call dweller 'abyss dweller' or such and it'd be easier for your audience to understand you. But! I hope you get some rest after such a long day
What do you think about the future of yugioh? Do you like the way its going forward? Do you still feel exicited about Yugioh just like you felt years ago?
What sleeves are you using nowadays? I'm trying to pick some and I can't find a good consensus on the best sleeves or best sleeves for the price, but yours look simple and clean. Sorry if this has been asked on other deck profiles before.
Foxy's Special Summon effect and destruction are all one effect, so as long as both players control the same amount of monsters when you activate the Foxy you'll be able to destroy the Mystic Mine
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm not really sure where to ask this, but if a Hard Once per Turn is negated, can I use another copy of the same card? Like Predaplant Ophyrs Scorpio (I like Predaplants, sue me), if my opponent negated its summon with Solemn Warning, but then I revive Scorpio with another card, can I still use its effect? Does the ruling change for Spells/Traps? Like if Frightfur Patchwork is negated but I have another in my hand, can I activate it or is it already considered "used"? Again, sorry if this is a stupid question.
any one knows the best way to get the Phantazmay ? I really want this card but simply buying them online costs too much and Ive seen SimplyUnlicky pull 3 or 4 of em in one box opening, so can some one tell me where he got that box cus they are out of stock everywhere I look
You are highly unlikely to pull that many from the box. It was super short-printed and not many are in cases. Always buy singles if you want a specific expensive card.
Wait for a reprint if you’re not playing competitively the price is not justified at all. It’s rumoured to be a promo in the tins but I’m unsure. Alternatively, the competitive season is over now so you might be able to grab a bargain, but be prepared to spend three figures
@@theonethathungers5552 If you are not going to tournaments there is no major rush to get the card. It would be better to wait a month or 2 to get the card down to >$30 if you are just playing at locals than spending $300ish. But if you are going to big tournaments then the card will give you a competitive edge and would be worth a higher price to have it sooner. It is a matter of urgency for the price not the actual fluctuation.
7:32 Actually playing 41 cards hurts the ability of opening any card by about 1% compared to 40 cards so it isnt as important as people seem to think, on the othe hand, playing 3 twins gives about a 10% more chance of opening them compared to 2 twin (in this context "opening" and "drawing" mean about the same thing). Great list nevertheless.
I refused to play more than 40 because while I'm aware it's only a 2% difference, if I ever lost a game to not drawing a hand trap then all I'd think about is how I would have had it if I played 1 less card
@@Dzeeff Omg he answered!!! Yeah it's completely understandable but as a physics major I have to show that the math I have studied are helpful xd. Love you man, best of luck in future events.
Cut lady debug. I mean, if you have Cynet mining , then you have the most significant synergy with the deck. Don't get me wrong , lady his a good searcher , but i feel that mining is more accurate with the salamangreat strategy
I feel you on that one, buddy. Salads are just one of those decks that can actually benefit from a seemingly steep discard cost. I even cut my own copy, but for a different reason, which is the banlist. I would still run Debug if she was at three, but I rarely draw her if I do, so I dropped her in favor of actual good cards (but I'm considering dropping the deck entirely because I don't wanna buy Mining, regardless of budget). All things considered, she's just not good anymore if she's not at least run at two.
Why didn't you play Yata-Lock? My sister's barber won Locals last week with a SICK Yata-Lock deck. Holy PoOP is this deck aweSome! YOU NEED TO USE YATA LOCK SO YOU CAN WIN EVERY MATCH WHY DO KEEP HAVING TO EXPLAIN THIS TO PEOPLE OH MY FREAKIN' GOD UwU
Why arent people playing fusion of fire? Id assume it's because most of the times you can otk with it you can either otk another way or just drown you opponent in resources instead without the possibility of overextending... But want to check.
Most of the times you can just build a field and otk without it, it takes up 1 extra spot in the extra deck and 1 in the main deck. If you are a budget player it's fine, but if you have money and all the options it's not worth it
Ive made the "best" version of this deck i could think of on dueling network as I do run it in real life im just poor so cant buy thanos dragon or imperm but the only difference is I sided 3 twin and mained 2 Super poly and obviously the extra deck is different
I watch 1 thread beast video see that it not worth it. Now I get spammed with Thread beast ads. I don't want u thread beast. The value not there for getting random things. Rather pay just a couple extra dollars n get what I want

There's no reason not to play Debug. Hell, some people are cutting Mining to 2 and still playing Debug. The advantage it gains you is worth the risk.
