This was very insightful! Thank you for taking the time to profile and having Esala over to discuss his deck build choices. Great stuff as usual Tombox. :)
I’ve actually used zoo Eldlich right when aa Zeus came out. I didn’t have dogmatica cards in my deck and instead used more zoodiac cards and Eldlich cards. Going first, I used verte dragoon because the zoodiac cards are 1 card dragoons as long as you have a card to destroy with drident. I also used droplets strike and dark ruler to break boards and no hand traps. You have a lot of extra deck space and can get a 3 board wipe Zeus, 2 board wipe Zeus, superdreadnaughtrail otk and a space for black ouster solider link.
I am no judge but I would argue on the ruling @ 12:57 because while it is set and we cant see the card stats anymore it is still a cards in a monster zone. all cards set there are treated as monsters unless specified otherwise. if it was a card that set a backrow card back again i would argue yeah we dont know what its type is but monster zones are pretty clear that a monster is there
A Virtual World in hand should still resolve because the face-down monster is still a monster. It doesn't have to check that it is a Virtual World monster, just that it is a monster, which it still is. It's completely different from checking for ATK, since a face-down monster is still a monster, though it has no ATK.
But it specifically says “target one virtual world card you control”. How can it resolve when it can no longer identify the monster as a virtual world one? Or do I have the rules wrong
@@rez3r092 even if flipped face down, the game still recognizes it as being the same card that was targeted. You are right that it cannot identify a face down as being a Virtual World card, but the card text for the Virtual World monsters does not say that it checks what the name of the card is - only what type of card it is. And therefore, it would still resolve, as a face down monster, since it is still the target, is still a monster. It would be different if you targeted a Spell and it was somehow flipped down, since it would still be the same target, but the game wouldn't know whether it was a Spell or a Trap
@@topsycho4451 Hmmm. Well I don’t understand the problem solving text to well. The way I understand it is that targeting the card is the condition, but the rest of the effect is what happens at resolution. If my understanding is right, You first have to target a virtual world card first, and since it can’t technically target a virtual world card, then it shouldn’t be able to send anything or resolve the rest of the effect.
@@rez3r092 you target the card upon activation of the effect. The card will remain the target as long as it remains on field, even if it gets flipped down. Since the effect doesn't something like "send 1 VW card of a different card type (from that target)", or something similar that would imply that it must still be a Virtual World card, it can still work. The effects just say to send a different type of card, they don't say anything that would require it to still be face up.
@@topsycho4451 ahhh. Yeah. I thought about “that target” wording. I think it will just depend on what they decide. I know they make exceptions to how they word stuff. They may not have taken this kind of interaction into consideration.
This was how it was ruled at the event. Nothing can change that, going forward it will be ask the HJ on that, as mind control targets a monster and will take even if flipped face down. The question will always remain if it is a matter of public knowledge for pooling together effects that uses all card types. Why it would have different rulings to it, are they blanketing a rule to make it simpler. Who knows.
I was thinking about running a similar build but with Mystic Mine, it can help break boards, bait out negations, can make for cheesy wins with boarbow in time and if it's dead in hand or field you can just send it away for Goldy. Have yet to test it though but I think it should work well. Anyone test such a build already?
great profile and awesome explanations! do you have any other option for the droplets? doesn't need to do the same, but some other good tech cards in this deck specifically. I don't think dark ruler or chalice is good in this deck.
@@sirernest546 im lucky,got that eldland for 5 bucks, but i think rn is the perfect time to pick it up because in blazing vortex the fusion gets printed.
When are we getting an orcust deck post banlist lol, it's like my favourite deck and there is no one who like uploaded a deck of it, who knows what he is doing
it's a very good tech card both going first and second in this format, so even at 2 it can be good in every deck, also warning point is a really good card going first but going second it doesnt help you breaking boards at all so you should also think about this
@@andreabuzzolani7205 yeah it's kind sucks playing warning point going second but for going first it's incredible Also maybe you can give me some tips... playing 10 hand traps (2 ash 3 veiler 2 nibiru and 3 impermenence) I added nibiru yust because I have so many combo decks and prank-kids also salamangreat lose against nibiru hard Cut one extravagance bc it's bricky and 3rd never came a lot For traps line up 2 judg and 2 strike, already with 2 torential tribute for combo decks But problem is that I don't have dimension shifter so I add different dimension ground don't know is it good option to play, 2 rivarly of warlords if I don't get it in Saturday I will add artifact package
@@petarmalenica7839 i would play 3 extrav, you always want to see it, that card is like pot of greed it's too good, also you're playing a lot of handtraps and that's good because alteregeist struggles going second but other that this idk... dimension shifter in altegeist isn't that good because you usually want your stuff to go to the gy like meluseek to add faker
@@andreabuzzolani7205 if you have lucky and don't draw another extravagance you are golden Then different dimension ground can do he job Maybe will add 3rd book of moon bc it's so busted right now
@@patjeboemboem1980 a trap monster such as the Eldlands, if flipped face down, is no longer a monster. A "Trap" monster, like the Paleozoics, if flipped face down, is still a monster and not a trap. The game still knows what it is
Which monster effect matters in the current meta? Borrelsword (cannot respond to), Accesscode (cannot respond to), Knightmare monsters (not the most popular of choices),
@@andreabuzzolani7205 eldlich engine is control you wanna go first but can still play going second, you can toss it going second even with the golden lord

Ha! Kudos to you, I get the same reaction when I drop Necro Valley.
Hands down the best deck profile I've seen. I know not everyone likes long videos but this is what I'm personally looking for in a deck profile.
This deck is such a satisfying toolbox.

"This is a _huuuuge_ package!"
-Tombox @ 9:55
He completely convonced me about the book of moon :)
yeah...always loved that card
It's always been a good card
"Yoooooo is that Triple Book of MOON!!?"
Not gonna lie, this is one of the best deck profiles I've ever seen.

For side deck, Gemini Imps could be an interesting option against hand looping :)
Really nice list! I was able to also get a top with Pure Zoodiac! unfortunately it was only 28th, but still an invite :)

Finally seeing people playing book of moon lol i play 3 book of moon in main the card is so good that using it right can end turn
Great deck profile and interview!
Is the Kaiju underneath Gameciel Kumongous? I can’t really make it out.
Amazing video !!! Would be great a video with the combos and the approach of the side deck !!!
I wonder what he would change in the new format especially against draitron
This has convinced me to consider book of moon as a side deck option. Pretty nasty card if you pull this going first - arguably better than imperm.
20:39 play this really loud when depressed, it might help.
Yeah you got me good there 👍😂
this deck is fucking everywhere on DB right now
Book of moon is a normal spell not a quick spell so how do you use it when it is your opponents Turn???
What should I play if I only have 2 copies of forbidden droplets?
Ice dragons prison is a little cheaper but a great replacement
whats a good substitute for the droplets?
maybe dark ruler no more or forbidden chalice
Chalice
Untargeting unrespondable monster negate, dark ruler is the closest you will get
chalice
droplet is insane cuz you send yo eldlich shit to grave and plus hard
9:55 when I look at my junk in the mirror
Book 📚 of moon is so underrated
This is Gold. I could interview ygo players for a living. :)
Anyone got a ygoprodecks of this deck up yet?
What card can I play instead of droplets?
what are the spells in side
should u double sleeve??
Can I ask if you can't play alpha, what is a reliable replacement?
Anyone have a good replacement for droplet in this deck?
Forbidden Chalice is a decent substitute
great profile and awesome explanations! do you have any other option for the droplets? doesn't need to do the same, but some other good tech cards in this deck specifically. I don't think dark ruler or chalice is good in this deck.
3 solemn strikes
damn, i could make this now with the Golden Lord Reprint
No dogmatika needed

this video is gold, thank you so much for this :)
I know 2 Zeus is obviously better but is the deck still worth using with only 1?
Anyone have good replacement for Zoodiac Barrage
More zoo monster
When are we getting an orcust deck post banlist lol, it's like my favourite deck and there is no one who like uploaded a deck of it, who knows what he is doing
Ramram also protects against fogblades too
why no black elixir.
Does ram ram just negate traps or any effects
Traps that target it
I run zoo tri birgade with a dragoon package and zeus it SLAPS
14:16 for who playing Dino, start put Lost World in your deck now LoL
Basically today you'd swap the imps, nibs and droplets for meister, lanceas and belles
I have only two copies of book of moon and is it worth to play it?
Thinking to add it in altergeist deck maybe main
Already have warning point to

Where are the traps Bro????
I love the videos were he brings a pro on to talk hand traps 👌🏾
if you book of moon for virtual world then the activated monster doesnt know its a virtual world card anymore
It doesn't need to know if it's a Virtual World card for the resolution, only the card type. A face down monster is still a monster.
could be a trap monster face down, don't think it counts as monster if face down

Never imagine a day people use book of moon again.
I know right I was skeptical a few months ago at first but it's actually a really really good card now!
Is playing this deck still worth it if I only have 1 Zeus?
You won't be able to hold the game state hostage to zeus the 2nd time... U may lose some games where you would win ..
@@MSTTV ok so a 2nd copy is a must, I’ll just play something else in the meantime until then

Which monster effect matters in the current meta?

Veiler/gamma are still strong savage/herald are as prevalent as ever
Without megaclops it just seems a little more practical
NVM forgot it was just targeting protection
Great video
love this guy
it's all about maining things to pop back row
why this insect kaiju?
Probably because it’s Earth and only 2400 ATK
Every card have a reason not like my bean soldier turbo deck
What Yu-Gi-Oh! deck do you think Kirito would use?
Be honest tombox no Bs what you think is better pure zoodiac, zoodiac dogmatika, or this ?
clean mister
this is sauce right here
Imperm is not good against Virtual World he needs to switch that with 3 Ice Dragon Prisons
ice dragon prison is bad going second
Impermanence is bad against the Virtual world monsters, but I think is really good if you play it Vs the synchros and calamities

Oh no please spare me
18:42 thank me later
Make my 3x Ulti Book Of Moon even more valuable baby!

I literally mentioned it in the beginning.
Just goto the link. In the description, this one is on easy mode.
The secret code was literally on screen the entire video.
LMAO found it LMAO
Felt even dumber afterwards to lol
Just came to hate on the meta tbh zoodiacs look like a wack archetype.
