This was a fun video but I did want to comment on one thing that was missed when discussing Ancient Fairy Dragon, which is the card wasn't errata'd when it was banned. You could use multiple copies of it in one turn and that's ultimately what decks were building themselves to do ("Field Spell Turbo" as I recall it) and that ultimately is why the card got banned. It's still quite strong even with the errata and it will always have a home in Yugioh as a result but it is one of those cards that got a power level errata.
This one was especially great because the guest actually had some experience in Yu-Gi-Oh! He had some point of comparison so the surprises were even bigger.
When Crim was talking about Cannon Soldier my first thought was "what if your Blood Artist was also your aristocrat." Which would be super busted in magic.
Crim is probably the Magic player with the most experience I've seen for these kinds of videos; he's dipped in and out of a few formats throughout the years I'm happy to see fewer cards with long text this time. As funny as it is to see non-yugioh players react to long text for the millionth time, I think these kinds of videos should be a test to see how one's knowledge of one card game translates to another one. It might also be a good idea to go over the basic mechanics of the game before the quiz starts so that the contestants can see the difference in the two games (e.g. Attacking monsters by default vs attacking the other player, no mulligan, no mana, effects are spell speed 1/sorcery speed by default unless otherwise stated, quick-plays/traps being spell speed 2/instant speed, normal summon/tribute summon rules, etc.) I think some good cards for magic players to evaluate are non-archetypal cards. Consistency cards like Pot of Prosperity, disruption like Infinite Impermanence, board breakers like Raigeki, etc. It's hard to evaluate archetypal cards without context, especially boss monsters. Boss monsters are really only as good as how easy it is to summon them, and anything that leads up to the boss monster is only as good as the monsters they can summon.
I agree, which is why you don’t see many archetype cards in any of my videos. I don’t show Raigeki and Dark Hole because they’re too easy, but I overall agree with everything you said here.
I wish you mentioned for linear equation cannon that being shuffled back into the deck is the most powerful form of removal in the game. It's not a narrow card, it's a genuinely good payoff that is very generic (and good for self-mill decks), just the conditions for resolving it are way too rare, so it's a dead card 99% of the time.
also you would like never know it if its actually live unless you do the math every second. also isnt the math done at the resolve? so the opponent can influence a lot of stuff by chaining to it aswell.
@@mauer1 In master duel, it will only let you activate it if you can resolve it, so it's actually not difficult to use. That's when you learn that linear equation cannon's real downside is being battle phase only. It's basically drowning mirror force that you have to do math.
the best removal in my experience is banishing face down. all the other removal effects have severe downsides. too much stuff is immune to destruction or triggers when destroyed. kaijuing something means it still hits the GY, which can have all sorts of negative consequences (and you're handing your opponent a pretty sizeable beatstick too) bouncing back to the hand or the deck is awful because it sends extra deck monsters back to the extra deck, meaning your opponent just gets to trigger their etb effects again next turn. if anything beats banishing face down it'd be just negating a card before it even hits the field and even then those cards still hit the GY in most cases.
I agree with buddy here. Coming back to yugioh from Six Samurai era to master duel I’ve come to realize the only reason monsters still has levels is because of the extra deck.
Sometimes dated/limited Yugioh experience can almost be a disadvantage in one of these. He was totally had by his childhood hatred of Cannon Soldier! xP
weird that he didn't compare Cannon Soldier to Catapult Turtle as both have similar effect and Catapult Turtle saw huge success because of its FTK burn potential
im a magic player and the best part of these videos is to see how broken and disgusting some of the cards are and it seems completely random to me whats good and whats not lol
Basically yeah. Yugioh is a game that is designed to be over the top, and archetypes are designed partly to be good - but the other part is for role playability. So basically every archetype is trying to have a unique playstyle & gameplan. There's like 400 archetypes out there, and more being added every set, so they get reeeaaally creative with playing with different mechanics and doing something weird or out of the norm with them.
So what pretty much kills linear equation cannon besides it being a trap is that if your graveyard is empty or just a few cards then there is no number you can declare that will lead to anything meaningful if the opponent has at least a lv4 monster on the field. So in many situations you cannot even declare 1 as 1x4+1 requires you to have 5 cards in grave to not get burned for 500 and even if you fulfill it you just shuffle back 1 thing. Once the board gets larger and the monster goes higher in level it gets even harder to declare a valid number. Here is also the main flaw, you can almost never declare a number higher than 1 and still be correct.
I stand behind teaching two cedh players basic game mechanics and having them play a tear mirror. Or just forcing mtg pros to watch _that_ tear mirror. That would be funny too.
@@TheOneJameYTI wud love to see a vid where u show MTG player(s) duel replay(s) of tournament lv duels from the past like 2 years. And they can chose to pause and ask questions and watever. And the best idea to go along with that is to show them a replay of 1 of yugioh longest combos. U know, like 1 that takes a few hours irl, but it’s a sped up online replay. Something like a classic dark synchro combo. Or infernity combo.
MTG players seeing Tear would just have flashbacks to Dredge or, more recently, Hoggak. And much like yugioh players, it will be a love it or hate it response.
I don't want this video to end :( Yes, that requires feeding Crim an endless amount of card but I think that's a fair price to pay for the entertainment
@TheOneJameYT I couldn't imagine some of them that can't grasp how strong the new games power is. I'm teaching an old friend and played a game against them using my for fun Utopia deck after their first day learning and they started yelling at me over the phone about how they've never experienced something so sweaty and how I need to 1v1 them on other games now lmao. I dropped dragonar, the monster negate galaxy lord on my turn, hope harbinger on their turn, they managed to bait harbinger negate before raigeki, they set 1 and pass, and I dropped ultimate ray, and f0 on my next turn 💀 "meta blah blah sweaty ass fuckin 1v1 me smash bros heckin meta abuser blah"
Getting back into yugioh myself has been a wild ride and I always love these types of videos and seeing if I can get the questions right too. I’d love to see someone rate a purrely card like Noir, that might be too easy but not knowing the cards the deck is built around could make it tricky.
Crim saying that Volcano Dragon was bad because of skill drain is some Peak Eldlich Brainrot Not that they're wrong, but it doesn't change the fact that, that of alk things was their reasoning.
The fact that so many people find Linear Equation Cannon so complicated is a damning indictment of modern education systems. You just multiply two one-digit numbers and then add another one-digit number. You then compare that number to the size of your graveyard. If it matches, do one thing; if it doesn't, do another.
and the thing is labrynth made top 4 with it too now sooo... edit: was wrong, just went through the video and it was simultaneous linear equation cannon not this one whoops
In theory Anti-Magic Arrows would have had a niche use like 10 years ago, but today It just doesn't make any sense. Back when Mirror-Force and it's family of cards were still a thing, this could have been useful. It would have allowed beat-down decks to last just a little bit longer. But these days there are so many better cards and it doesn't do anything against monster effects.
Funnily enough, Anti-Magic Arrows counters the turn 2 End of Main Phase 1 End of Battle Phase Activate Evenly Matched not saying it's a good idea, but it's funny.
Linear Equation Cannon is very easy to understand. It starts with "During the Battle Phase" (and can't be activated from your hand) so you now this card is trash and would be destroyed before even getting the chance to get activated.
Magic player here that the YT algorithm dictated I had to see this bc Crim was in it... great vid, 7:29 when Crim dares to make a joke about Yugioh not obeying its own rules I felt that was a bit pot and kettle. The first thing I have to teach magic players is "unless a card says otherwise", bc we don't have rules we have fancy suggestions.
lol yea same in yugioh, even now im still amazed at how even sometimes yugioh players complain about something breaking the rules when in reality it works the way it does specifically because of the rules im actually curious at what rule he thinks its breaking too but considering context its probably the fact that burning dragon is a high lvl and high atk monster with a removal effect that can play itself but he already mentioned he played during the yata-lock era so he shouldve been well aware of the chaos monsters from back then which were also high lvl and high atk monster with a removal effect that can play themselves sus moment
Anti-magic Arrows had 2 formats where it was good if I recall correctly. Maybe one around 2018 and one around 2021 but I'm not sure. It's an extremely strong card at what it does on paper, it's just in most mathcups it won't actually work. But when it's good, it's amazing.
Tbh now I kinda wanna use Burning Dragon in the side for my Vanquish Soul deck to put in for trap decks. Being a fire might actually make it less garbo
I hope they release Differential Equation Railgun to power creep Linear Equation cannon. What you do is you choose a monster on the field, then count the number of cards in your opponents graveyard, then you solve the system of differential equations that is the sum of the derivatives of y up to the number of cards in your opponents GY = 0 under the condition y(0)=ATK where ATK is the ATK of the chosen monsters and if you can find a non-trivial (so y=ATK doesn't count) solution you get to shuffle all cards in your opponent's hand, field and GY into the deck.
It’s so strange how the only deck box on that website is a Catholic deck box with a Bible quote… I was interested, but that is very much not for me, hah. But I’m glad you have sponsors that help incentivize making more of these videos so you can be compensated for providing us with so much entertainment! Another great video, thanks!
I've never seen LEC before but my understanding from reading it is that it's basically Evenly Matched but you have to do some math and already have a graveyard. Which isn't terrible? Since you can choose the starting number there's probably more situations you could pop this than you would think. But at the very least you're gonna need like... 10 cards in your grave. And 99% of the time it's going to be completely overkill because you're gonna pop it with like 15 cards in your grave when your opponent has like 6 cards on the field.
Dafuq I saw burning dragon for the first time and think it is actually pretty good in something like cipher dragons you get a free lvl 8 monster plus it destroys back row for a spell and isn't harpyies feather duster at 1
Burning Dragon's discarding 1 spell card might be handy. Although aside from Dragonmaids, I'm not sure where to start. Why Dragonmaids? They got a spell card that if sent to the GY, then it make all dragonmaids untargetable by effects. There's also their fusion card which can be retrieved in exchange of sending one of your dragonmaids back to your hand. The real issue in all of this is that the well is bound to run dry sooner or later, OR you get bricked. Like Polymorization, monster reborn, pot of Avarice and Nurse Dragonmaid and Red Eyes Dark Metal Dragon(?) while going first. Where in which case you can either hope the enemy also bricked and/or surrender immediately.
Linear Equation cannon probably would be pretty powerful and people would actually do the math if it wasn't a battle trap. It being a battle trap makes it a worse and more situational drowning mirror force
As a Yugioh Boomer who hasnt played much since Yata-Lock, and primarily plays commander as an arch-enemy (and also Dimir player) today, I have never identified with Crim more...
As a guy who doesn't play Yugioh much... 1. Linear Equation Cannon sounds absolutely terrible. There's way too much chance going into it. Pretty sure it'd backfire more than it would work. 2. Burning Dragon sounds neat enough, Heavy Storms on summon. 2500 attack on top of that is good. I'd use it if I could fit it in and had nothing else. 3. Cannon Soldier is okay. Not even bad. There's definitely ways to loop it's effect. It's still good. 4. Anti-Magic Arrows is a one-turn Quick-Play Cold Wave. I'd try it out at the very least and if I liked it, I'd keep it. 5. Ancient Fairy Dragon is neato. I know it became busted... and don't remember why at the timing of making this comment. I know I would have used it if I had no more extra deck space and could somehow justify it, though. Edit: And now I get why Ancient Fairy Dragon is crazy. Promotes so much setup!
The Canon Soldier burn deck was only good because of Firewall Dragon cause of the non-once per turn condition it use to have. Only then was it really ever used and I'd just attribute it's success to Firewall. You can still do it in Morphtronics but that's a little more difficult but the you'd run Toon Cannon Solider because of Toon Table of Contents to search it out.
having some YGO knowledge up to the beginning of Links, I think there's a good general rule for deciding if a card is good or not. 1) Is it chainable? Like, can you see this card chaining into getting you multiple +1s (adding cards to hand, adding cards to GY, special summoning monsters)? 2) Is it usable during your opponent's turn without too many restrictions? Like, can you activate it from anything your opponent tries to do? And can you activate it before removal effects are used on it? 3) Does it give you value for LP? It doesn't matter how much LP it costs, can it give you +1s, removal, lockdown for LP? 4) Can it disrupt? Can you use this card to majorly disrupt your opponent's intended cycling, chaining, and special summons without being negated, pre-removed, or otherwise ignored? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, a good 85% of the time, it'll range between decent to broken. The 15% is where the meta has a designated counter that you don't know about and the range between decent to broken depends on how good the archetype is that it supports.
@@TheOneJameYT I found the cannon soldier discussion really interesting also, the lack of a "once per turn modifier" really changes things. Something I'm interested in though, and I don't know exactly how to find information on it, is, when the text says "Tribute" does it assume your side of the field, or does it have to say "Tribute x monsters you control", or if it can tribute opponent monsters would it say "tribute x monsters from either side of the field"? I've seen cards that go either way with this, where they specifically mention "from your side of the field" or "you control", and cards that specifically mention "either player controls" or "from either side of the field", but then there's Amazoness, Cannon Soldier and Nibiru which just say "tribute x monsters"
@@TheOneJameYT ooh also as a follow-up: I'd love to see people react to Apoqliphort Towers because on paper it's such an insane card if you have no context of how YGO works nowadays it's like, if Obelisk got omegabuffed
14:15 it gets better, not all formats banned cannon soldier because : 1: it doesnt matter if you ban the OG because toon cannon soldier is a thing and due ot being a "toon" card is searchable with the toon support namely " table of contents one of the few not OPT search spells that can search other copies it itself. 2: Both variants of Cannon soldier an most main deck cards like it act as a " canary " in the mine where if there is ever an abusive tribute engine popping inot the meta that makes the FTK consistent and viable, its the sign that said tribute engine is overtuned and probably has to be hit in some capacity. for instance the original FTK was a problem because of magical scientis and eventually the Frog engine.
much like its spell counter part " mass driver" it ended with your opponent being covered in sticky frog residue if they could not stop the FTK from going off.@@TheOneJameYT
I don't even feel like the linear equation cannon math is that hard. You count (your GY - their board). If count is a nice number (multiple of a common lvl like 4) then you think "can bonk on 'em." if it's not a nice number you think about if there's a combo where you can change the count. Just seems like it makes it even more situational on top of being more counterable
I know this sounds weird, but I think Burning Dragon could be a 1 off tech card now that Promethean Princess has been released. It makes Burning Dragon an easy recurring card you can just bring out as part of your combo for security?
While that’s true, all of the spells you’d discard for the effect would be too good of spells to discard. Things like Thrust, Talent, Feather Duster, etc are just too good and do better things than Burning Dragon would
@@TheOneJameYT If you could discard a monster for cost, it would be decent since a lot of spells would be better activated than using it purely for discard cost and then the GY effect.
@@TheOneJameYT I was thinking maybe something like Salad in a side deck against idk Labyrnth? You can't use your 2nd Will or Circle in a turn anyway and you can get it back with Wolf.
If he that reaction to cannon soldier, I wonder what his reaction would be to the fact that Cannon soldier mk-2, an even worse card was banned in the OCG.
Burning dragon isn't bad. It's okay. If anything, it's a free special summon that can convert a spell card into a Harvey's feather duster if you don't need it. The only downside to this card is you can't use it on your first turn.
With the amount of graveyard effects now and the fact that it doesn’t give hand knowledge they probably could unban duo without it being completely broken
Every single time I see people bring up Linear Equation Cannon, I'm astounded at the amount of people that don't realize its JUST ALGEBRA; It's literally just y=mx+b!
You say Cannon Soldier is fine today, but I heavily disagree. Around 2014/2018(whenever Unerrata'ed Firewall was legal), we had Danger Dark World/Goiki Danger Dark World(I forget which) running around, and they were perfectly capable of just playing normally without having to FTK woth cannon soldier(they'd just rip cards out of your hand instead). Every time such a deck is available, and they don't have to have another FTK as a wincon, Cannon Soldier _will_ turn up. Reminder about what happened to Pendulum Magicians and Starving Venom Fusion Dragon Zarc. All of this was before Nibiru, but these days, outside of Master Duel, Nibiru rarely turns up because people figure out how to make their combos under five summons, or just summon a negate under five summons and keep going. The current environment is also very hostile to running Nibiru, because it's a very dead card if you draw into it, and it probably won't come up on turn 3 if you somehow get there. Basically, Cannon Soldier should _really_ get banned, because every time it's turned up, it's never been healthy for the game.
I wouldn't say Linear Equation Cannon being bad is the reason it's not being played, it's nearly impossible to resolve in a non-automated duel and would likely result in DQs for people not being able to resolve it properly and would likely be banned if people actually used it.
That deck box is making the very down bad part of me and the very Christian part of me battle internally.... while also somehow fueling each other. I'm surprised seeing it though, one of the reasons I'm less into Magic is I've heard the players in general can be very prudish, stuck up, and basically anti-fun. This was a fun one. I think this is a rare case of somebody actually doing worse because they've played the game and have game knowlege. It's funny too since Canon Soldier was part of the first ever tournament winning deck right from day one and saw dominance for years. In fairness tough, those of us playing on the playground sure didn't know that, let alone how to break it. I wonder how he'd react to the Jinzo archetype?... actually, no I don't, those are some of the worst designed cards ever printed, they'd probably ruin the card for the poor guy. I do not want to be the underpaid underfed intern at Konami who will inevitably need to design cards to force all that Jinzo bloat to be good or at least usable in 5 years (the people who design Hero cards must be on constant suicide watch).
Hahaha yes!! Even the people behind the scenes responsible for making dark magician and blue eyes playable several years ago must’ve been jamming their skulls into the walls for months figuring that out
It's great that even the Yugioh player has no idea what is good (showing the pretty average Ancient Fairy dragon and saying it's good/was banned because of the unerrata'd version, leaving out that ever happened).
tell you what, we can unban all the old hand ripping cards like Duo, Confi, etc. but, we have to put all the Ishizu Tearlament cards to 3 as well. Yep, not every attempt to hand rip is just letting your opponent get full Tears off.
@@TheOneJameYT would it really? To me it just looks like the ultimate conclusion of Yugioh as a game. Confiscation, Delin Duo, Sentry, and Appointer of the Red Lotus all at 3. But Tear gets Agido, Mudora, Kelbek, Keldo, Havnis, Merrli, Scheiren, and Kitkallos back to 3 each. that totals 12 hand rip spells/traps, 9 of which are live turn 1, and you can search them all with TTThrust, along with TTTalents being live because your opponent activated during your turn 1 Main Phase. Also you have the Ken/Gen engine to forcefully put a monster on their field if they do not commit. and you can run your own Millers and Runick cards to mill out the Tear deck.
@@TheOneJameYT neat! a thing to keep in mind about the speedroid bike, if speedroids ever became too good, this card would be a menace to the entire game
If only if it didnt remove the entirety of the field spells and traps it would've been so insane for fire kings and would've seen so much upcoming play. Also it being a level 8 blends in super well. Damn you Konami. @@TheOneJameYT
@@TheOneJameYT I have a Treasure Panda Synchro spam Exodia FTK deck, but you can use a similar engine for a (Toon) Cannon Soldier FTK. The Toon variant is even better, because three TToC means three more Spell cards for the panda.
I remember playing Ancient Fairy Dragon and Zombies, to get Zombie World, And do a lot of graveyard loopings... I mean Ancient Fairy Dragon, Stardust Dragon, heck I even had Red Nova and Quasar at one point in my Zombie deck. Oh and of course fun cards like Level Eater. It was just smack every possible engine into one deck and flood the board with fucked up good cards, be them synchros or XYZ, and then after a few years I quit playing after they banned my favourite card, albeit not a card in my Zombie deck, but I was a Qliphort player... I mean why would they ban Scout, Towers was the evil card.
I want to make one correction, yugioh players can't read. Obviously it's a joke, but I've had multiple situations where someone tried to link summon using my Rusty Bardiche. The last line of text is that it can't be used as link material. Kind of surprised that it's not the first line of text on it like with anything else that can't be used for something.
Odd to put burning dragon in here considering its so new that there hasn't even been opportunity to play it and then not mention its specifically support for the rank 8 deck instead posing it as generic spell trap removal.

Basically yeah. Yugioh is a game that is designed to be over the top, and archetypes are designed partly to be good - but the other part is for role playability.
So basically every archetype is trying to have a unique playstyle & gameplan. There's like 400 archetypes out there, and more being added every set, so they get reeeaaally creative with playing with different mechanics and doing something weird or out of the norm with them.
Welcome to yugioh lol
Because there are so many cards with different effects, some interactions can potentially become very broken even though they seem harmless alone.
So what pretty much kills linear equation cannon besides it being a trap is that if your graveyard is empty or just a few cards then there is no number you can declare that will lead to anything meaningful if the opponent has at least a lv4 monster on the field. So in many situations you cannot even declare 1 as 1x4+1 requires you to have 5 cards in grave to not get burned for 500 and even if you fulfill it you just shuffle back 1 thing.
Once the board gets larger and the monster goes higher in level it gets even harder to declare a valid number.
Here is also the main flaw, you can almost never declare a number higher than 1 and still be correct.
Yea there are a lot of things NOT going for that card 😅
I stand behind teaching two cedh players basic game mechanics and having them play a tear mirror.
Or just forcing mtg pros to watch _that_ tear mirror. That would be funny too.
That's a great idea for a future video lol
@@TheOneJameYTthat sounds so goooood! Please please do it!
@@TheOneJameYTI wud love to see a vid where u show MTG player(s) duel replay(s) of tournament lv duels from the past like 2 years. And they can chose to pause and ask questions and watever.
And the best idea to go along with that is to show them a replay of 1 of yugioh longest combos. U know, like 1 that takes a few hours irl, but it’s a sped up online replay. Something like a classic dark synchro combo. Or infernity combo.
@@baileydombroskie3046 maybe a DDD combo 😂
MTG players seeing Tear would just have flashbacks to Dredge or, more recently, Hoggak. And much like yugioh players, it will be a love it or hate it response.
Literally just left locals and saw this masterpiece on my feed, Crim is my favorite guest so far, he's funny
Yea he's hilarious!! Super happy he chose to guest on the show
I don't want this video to end :(
Yes, that requires feeding Crim an endless amount of card but I think that's a fair price to pay for the entertainment
I didn't want this video to end either!!
You should host a Master Duel tournament with all your MTG guests! 😂😂
That would be hilarious 😂
@TheOneJameYT I couldn't imagine some of them that can't grasp how strong the new games power is. I'm teaching an old friend and played a game against them using my for fun Utopia deck after their first day learning and they started yelling at me over the phone about how they've never experienced something so sweaty and how I need to 1v1 them on other games now lmao. I dropped dragonar, the monster negate galaxy lord on my turn, hope harbinger on their turn, they managed to bait harbinger negate before raigeki, they set 1 and pass, and I dropped ultimate ray, and f0 on my next turn 💀 "meta blah blah sweaty ass fuckin 1v1 me smash bros heckin meta abuser blah"
Getting back into yugioh myself has been a wild ride and I always love these types of videos and seeing if I can get the questions right too. I’d love to see someone rate a purrely card like Noir, that might be too easy but not knowing the cards the deck is built around could make it tricky.
Archetype cards are tricky in general especially with no context
Krim and duel logs or hardleg would make an insane colab playing the jankies decks possible xD
That is so true lol. Maybe I can get duel logs to rate MTG cards sometime!
Crim saying that Volcano Dragon was bad because of skill drain is some Peak Eldlich Brainrot
Not that they're wrong, but it doesn't change the fact that, that of alk things was their reasoning.
Haha I know right 😂
The fact that so many people find Linear Equation Cannon so complicated is a damning indictment of modern education systems.
You just multiply two one-digit numbers and then add another one-digit number. You then compare that number to the size of your graveyard.
If it matches, do one thing; if it doesn't, do another.
and the thing is labrynth made top 4 with it too now sooo...
edit: was wrong, just went through the video and it was simultaneous linear equation cannon not this one whoops
One thing you gotta start showing magic players is doomking balerdroch. That card will have magic players frothing at the mouth to play.
Haha balerdroch is a great card to show them
When they tried to understand both effects of AFD is when i realized how f-ing badly we need OCG bullet points. Why dont we have that in EU/Americas
Yea exactly lol
In theory Anti-Magic Arrows would have had a niche use like 10 years ago, but today It just doesn't make any sense.
Back when Mirror-Force and it's family of cards were still a thing, this could have been useful. It would have allowed beat-down decks to last just a little bit longer. But these days there are so many better cards and it doesn't do anything against monster effects.
Yea you’re 100% right
I always enjoy these kind of vids. Just wish i could get more yugioh players guessing MTG cards
Jesse Kotton will be on the show next week
I don't play any of these games i just like hearing people analyze things lmao
Same 😅
Funnily enough, Anti-Magic Arrows counters the turn 2
End of Main Phase 1
End of Battle Phase
Activate Evenly Matched
not saying it's a good idea, but it's funny.
Linear Equation Cannon is very easy to understand. It starts with "During the Battle Phase" (and can't be activated from your hand) so you now this card is trash and would be destroyed before even getting the chance to get activated.
Well yes, but the fun of it is seeing people try to understand the math 😂
9:36 Evenly matched, or how mtg players know it: [Balance]
Yep! Balance is such an absurd card 😂
Magic player here that the YT algorithm dictated I had to see this bc Crim was in it... great vid, 7:29 when Crim dares to make a joke about Yugioh not obeying its own rules I felt that was a bit pot and kettle. The first thing I have to teach magic players is "unless a card says otherwise", bc we don't have rules we have fancy suggestions.
Yea that’s a big thing to learn in yugioh, if a card says it can, it can
lol yea same in yugioh, even now im still amazed at how even sometimes yugioh players complain about something breaking the rules when in reality it works the way it does specifically because of the rules
im actually curious at what rule he thinks its breaking too but considering context its probably the fact that burning dragon is a high lvl and high atk monster with a removal effect that can play itself but he already mentioned he played during the yata-lock era so he shouldve been well aware of the chaos monsters from back then which were also high lvl and high atk monster with a removal effect that can play themselves
sus moment
@@YukiFubuki. he thinks it’s breaking the “level 8 requires 2 tributes” rule, which is understandable
20:48 this is why TCG should copy the way OCG text
the numbered effect on OCG make it easier to read
I agree!!
Anti-magic Arrows had 2 formats where it was good if I recall correctly. Maybe one around 2018 and one around 2021 but I'm not sure. It's an extremely strong card at what it does on paper, it's just in most mathcups it won't actually work. But when it's good, it's amazing.
Yep!
Kinda shocked Crim didnt get the cannoner. Aristocrats decks in mtg love infinte sack effects.
Yea I’m a little surprised too 😅
Cannon soldier just walking ballista 😂
YUP!!
I love the subtle eye shift that happens when TAA mentioned he fell in love with Eldlich.
Yea he's like "this isn't going to get great comments"
Tbh now I kinda wanna use Burning Dragon in the side for my Vanquish Soul deck to put in for trap decks. Being a fire might actually make it less garbo
True!! Also recurrable with Sunlight Wolf in Salamangreat
Tbf it's actually aint THAT bad. Can be used these days but only in certain decks.
The fun part of having only been into comp around 2010 and knowing nothing pass 5Ds era stuff means I'm often just as lost as the magic players lol
Well get to learning, and reading!
Linear equation is good because your opponent will absolutely surrender if you pull that shit on them
I know I would!
I hope they release Differential Equation Railgun to power creep Linear Equation cannon.
What you do is you choose a monster on the field, then count the number of cards in your opponents graveyard, then you solve the system of differential equations that is the sum of the derivatives of y up to the number of cards in your opponents GY = 0 under the condition y(0)=ATK where ATK is the ATK of the chosen monsters and if you can find a non-trivial (so y=ATK doesn't count) solution you get to shuffle all cards in your opponent's hand, field and GY into the deck.
Oh god I hope Konami makes this card 🤣
It’s so strange how the only deck box on that website is a Catholic deck box with a Bible quote… I was interested, but that is very much not for me, hah. But I’m glad you have sponsors that help incentivize making more of these videos so you can be compensated for providing us with so much entertainment! Another great video, thanks!
Happy you like the content!
I've never seen LEC before but my understanding from reading it is that it's basically Evenly Matched but you have to do some math and already have a graveyard.
Which isn't terrible? Since you can choose the starting number there's probably more situations you could pop this than you would think. But at the very least you're gonna need like... 10 cards in your grave. And 99% of the time it's going to be completely overkill because you're gonna pop it with like 15 cards in your grave when your opponent has like 6 cards on the field.
Dafuq I saw burning dragon for the first time and think it is actually pretty good in something like cipher dragons you get a free lvl 8 monster plus it destroys back row for a spell and isn't harpyies feather duster at 1
Burning Dragon's discarding 1 spell card might be handy. Although aside from Dragonmaids, I'm not sure where to start. Why Dragonmaids? They got a spell card that if sent to the GY, then it make all dragonmaids untargetable by effects. There's also their fusion card which can be retrieved in exchange of sending one of your dragonmaids back to your hand.
The real issue in all of this is that the well is bound to run dry sooner or later, OR you get bricked. Like Polymorization, monster reborn, pot of Avarice and Nurse Dragonmaid and Red Eyes Dark Metal Dragon(?) while going first. Where in which case you can either hope the enemy also bricked and/or surrender immediately.
I love his love for Evenly Matched!
Shadow realm the opponent baby!!
Linear Equation cannon probably would be pretty powerful and people would actually do the math if it wasn't a battle trap. It being a battle trap makes it a worse and more situational drowning mirror force
Anti-Magic Arrows specifically stops Evenly Matched, since it has to resolve before you can activate Evenly Matched =D
As a Yugioh Boomer who hasnt played much since Yata-Lock, and primarily plays commander as an arch-enemy (and also Dimir player) today, I have never identified with Crim more...
"Mirrodin, Metal Raiders, same thing."
Except that cannon soldier, catapult turtle, and magical scientist were broken BS for a whole lmao.
"Linear Growth, What am I? A First year?"
linear equation cannon, if it wasnt for the "during the battle phase" I think it would be played
As a guy who doesn't play Yugioh much...
1. Linear Equation Cannon sounds absolutely terrible. There's way too much chance going into it. Pretty sure it'd backfire more than it would work.
2. Burning Dragon sounds neat enough, Heavy Storms on summon. 2500 attack on top of that is good. I'd use it if I could fit it in and had nothing else.
3. Cannon Soldier is okay. Not even bad. There's definitely ways to loop it's effect. It's still good.
4. Anti-Magic Arrows is a one-turn Quick-Play Cold Wave. I'd try it out at the very least and if I liked it, I'd keep it.
5. Ancient Fairy Dragon is neato. I know it became busted... and don't remember why at the timing of making this comment. I know I would have used it if I had no more extra deck space and could somehow justify it, though.
Edit: And now I get why Ancient Fairy Dragon is crazy. Promotes so much setup!
1. The idea is to check your math before you activate it
Meltdown over Cannon Soldier is one of the funnies stuff I seen recently
Same!! 🤣
The Canon Soldier burn deck was only good because of Firewall Dragon cause of the non-once per turn condition it use to have. Only then was it really ever used and I'd just attribute it's success to Firewall.
You can still do it in Morphtronics but that's a little more difficult but the you'd run Toon Cannon Solider because of Toon Table of Contents to search it out.
having some YGO knowledge up to the beginning of Links, I think there's a good general rule for deciding if a card is good or not.
1) Is it chainable? Like, can you see this card chaining into getting you multiple +1s (adding cards to hand, adding cards to GY, special summoning monsters)?
2) Is it usable during your opponent's turn without too many restrictions? Like, can you activate it from anything your opponent tries to do? And can you activate it before removal effects are used on it?
3) Does it give you value for LP? It doesn't matter how much LP it costs, can it give you +1s, removal, lockdown for LP?
4) Can it disrupt? Can you use this card to majorly disrupt your opponent's intended cycling, chaining, and special summons without being negated, pre-removed, or otherwise ignored?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, a good 85% of the time, it'll range between decent to broken. The 15% is where the meta has a designated counter that you don't know about and the range between decent to broken depends on how good the archetype is that it supports.
This is such a good response
@@TheOneJameYT I found the cannon soldier discussion really interesting also, the lack of a "once per turn modifier" really changes things. Something I'm interested in though, and I don't know exactly how to find information on it, is, when the text says "Tribute" does it assume your side of the field, or does it have to say "Tribute x monsters you control", or if it can tribute opponent monsters would it say "tribute x monsters from either side of the field"?
I've seen cards that go either way with this, where they specifically mention "from your side of the field" or "you control", and cards that specifically mention "either player controls" or "from either side of the field", but then there's Amazoness, Cannon Soldier and Nibiru which just say "tribute x monsters"
@@a.v.y8331 when it says tribute, it means on your side of the field unless specifically stated otherwise.
@@TheOneJameYT got it, thanks!
@@TheOneJameYT ooh also as a follow-up: I'd love to see people react to Apoqliphort Towers because on paper it's such an insane card if you have no context of how YGO works nowadays
it's like, if Obelisk got omegabuffed
Dang, Just started the video and hearing his journey has me worried he's already in the know. This ought to be good.
Trust me he doesn't know ANY of these xD
@@TheOneJameYT Just finished the vid. Had a good chuckle at him calling AFD "hot garbagio" 😂😂😂
14:15 it gets better, not all formats banned cannon soldier because :
1: it doesnt matter if you ban the OG because toon cannon soldier is a thing and due ot being a "toon" card is searchable with the toon support namely " table of contents one of the few not OPT search spells that can search other copies it itself.
2: Both variants of Cannon soldier an most main deck cards like it act as a " canary " in the mine where if there is ever an abusive tribute engine popping inot the meta that makes the FTK consistent and viable, its the sign that said tribute engine is overtuned and probably has to be hit in some capacity. for instance the original FTK was a problem because of magical scientis and eventually the Frog engine.
Yep!! The fact that cannon soldier was played in those decks is just hilarious
much like its spell counter part " mass driver" it ended with your opponent being covered in sticky frog residue if they could not stop the FTK from going off.@@TheOneJameYT
@@Teixas666 haha yep!
I don't even feel like the linear equation cannon math is that hard. You count (your GY - their board). If count is a nice number (multiple of a common lvl like 4) then you think "can bonk on 'em." if it's not a nice number you think about if there's a combo where you can change the count. Just seems like it makes it even more situational on top of being more counterable
I know this sounds weird, but I think Burning Dragon could be a 1 off tech card now that Promethean Princess has been released. It makes Burning Dragon an easy recurring card you can just bring out as part of your combo for security?
While that’s true, all of the spells you’d discard for the effect would be too good of spells to discard. Things like Thrust, Talent, Feather Duster, etc are just too good and do better things than Burning Dragon would
@@TheOneJameYT If you could discard a monster for cost, it would be decent since a lot of spells would be better activated than using it purely for discard cost and then the GY effect.
@@TheOneJameYT I was thinking maybe something like Salad in a side deck against idk Labyrnth? You can't use your 2nd Will or Circle in a turn anyway and you can get it back with Wolf.
@@lionofash7700 that’s true, and I like that it’s recyclable with Sunlight Wolf!
That trinity deck box does look pretty fly though, and I don't even play IRL 😂😂
It’s great!!
If he that reaction to cannon soldier, I wonder what his reaction would be to the fact that Cannon soldier mk-2, an even worse card was banned in the OCG.
I loved mk-2 back in the day lol
As someone who last played Yugioh when Monarchs were a thing… YIKES
Too much text? lol
Burning dragon isn't bad. It's okay. If anything, it's a free special summon that can convert a spell card into a Harvey's feather duster if you don't need it. The only downside to this card is you can't use it on your first turn.
With the amount of graveyard effects now and the fact that it doesn’t give hand knowledge they probably could unban duo without it being completely broken
That would be an interesting unban!
@@TheOneJameYT maybe errata it to add an effect that you can’t make your opponent discard again for the rest of the turn after it resolves
27:20 you forgot to mention it was banned because it wasn't a once per turn and only got of the ban list with the errrata
I did forget to mention the errata but I felt that letting him know how powerful AFD was in the meta was a good enough reason to say it was broken.
Every single time I see people bring up Linear Equation Cannon, I'm astounded at the amount of people that don't realize its JUST ALGEBRA; It's literally just y=mx+b!
Yes!!
You say Cannon Soldier is fine today, but I heavily disagree. Around 2014/2018(whenever Unerrata'ed Firewall was legal), we had Danger Dark World/Goiki Danger Dark World(I forget which) running around, and they were perfectly capable of just playing normally without having to FTK woth cannon soldier(they'd just rip cards out of your hand instead).
Every time such a deck is available, and they don't have to have another FTK as a wincon, Cannon Soldier _will_ turn up. Reminder about what happened to Pendulum Magicians and Starving Venom Fusion Dragon Zarc.
All of this was before Nibiru, but these days, outside of Master Duel, Nibiru rarely turns up because people figure out how to make their combos under five summons, or just summon a negate under five summons and keep going. The current environment is also very hostile to running Nibiru, because it's a very dead card if you draw into it, and it probably won't come up on turn 3 if you somehow get there.
Basically, Cannon Soldier should _really_ get banned, because every time it's turned up, it's never been healthy for the game.
I would be all for Confiscation and Delinquent Duo coming back. Yugioh should allow more hand ripping effects.
Going first would be EVEN BETTER though!
I wouldn't say Linear Equation Cannon being bad is the reason it's not being played, it's nearly impossible to resolve in a non-automated duel and would likely result in DQs for people not being able to resolve it properly and would likely be banned if people actually used it.
Too much math!!
That deck box is making the very down bad part of me and the very Christian part of me battle internally.... while also somehow fueling each other. I'm surprised seeing it though, one of the reasons I'm less into Magic is I've heard the players in general can be very prudish, stuck up, and basically anti-fun.
This was a fun one. I think this is a rare case of somebody actually doing worse because they've played the game and have game knowlege. It's funny too since Canon Soldier was part of the first ever tournament winning deck right from day one and saw dominance for years. In fairness tough, those of us playing on the playground sure didn't know that, let alone how to break it.
I wonder how he'd react to the Jinzo archetype?... actually, no I don't, those are some of the worst designed cards ever printed, they'd probably ruin the card for the poor guy. I do not want to be the underpaid underfed intern at Konami who will inevitably need to design cards to force all that Jinzo bloat to be good or at least usable in 5 years (the people who design Hero cards must be on constant suicide watch).
Hahaha yes!! Even the people behind the scenes responsible for making dark magician and blue eyes playable several years ago must’ve been jamming their skulls into the walls for months figuring that out
Crim. reacting just like I did when friends were telling me about how modern Yu-Gi-Oh! plays.
Limear equation's effect could be "win the tournement" and it would still trash
You can totally dunk a Rescue-ACE player with a sideboarded Anti-Magic Arrows. Once.
One time is all you need!!
Konami should amke hard once per turn staple and add text to cards saying you can use then multiple times per turn when needed
Ohhhhhhh
Cannon Soldier is just Goblin Bombardment on a stick
Yep!
It's great that even the Yugioh player has no idea what is good (showing the pretty average Ancient Fairy dragon and saying it's good/was banned because of the unerrata'd version, leaving out that ever happened).
Pretty sure I was right about all the cards in the video, but thanks for trying to put me down :)
Another awesome video man, keep up this awesome series!
Also, would you ever do a vid where a Yugioh Player has to guess MTG cards?
Jesse Kotton is 2 videos from now ;)
Awesome!
tell you what, we can unban all the old hand ripping cards like Duo, Confi, etc. but, we have to put all the Ishizu Tearlament cards to 3 as well.
Yep, not every attempt to hand rip is just letting your opponent get full Tears off.
Haha that would be broken
@@TheOneJameYT would it really? To me it just looks like the ultimate conclusion of Yugioh as a game.
Confiscation, Delin Duo, Sentry, and Appointer of the Red Lotus all at 3.
But Tear gets Agido, Mudora, Kelbek, Keldo, Havnis, Merrli, Scheiren, and Kitkallos back to 3 each.
that totals 12 hand rip spells/traps, 9 of which are live turn 1, and you can search them all with TTThrust, along with TTTalents being live because your opponent activated during your turn 1 Main Phase.
Also you have the Ken/Gen engine to forcefully put a monster on their field if they do not commit.
and you can run your own Millers and Runick cards to mill out the Tear deck.
Did Crim play against the regional champ, Weevil Underwood?
Crim **is** Weevil Underwood
Never seen burning dragon before but heavy storm on legs sounds good
True but I think the downsides are a little too bad to make the card played!
In an Unban Yugioh Tournament, I'm taking Exodia all day.
Linear Equation Cannon would be decent if it didn't have "During the battle phase".
That’s true, but it’s still too much math for me 😅

I mean Ancient Fairy Dragon, Stardust Dragon, heck I even had Red Nova and Quasar at one point in my Zombie deck. Oh and of course fun cards like Level Eater. It was just smack every possible engine into one deck and flood the board with fucked up good cards, be them synchros or XYZ, and then after a few years I quit playing after they banned my favourite card, albeit not a card in my Zombie deck, but I was a Qliphort player... I mean why would they ban Scout, Towers was the evil card.
I’m convinced Konami banned Scout because they were tired of people saying “pay 8” constantly 😅
No shot he didn’t know cannon solider was busted

Yea it should be the first line of text
hai rem :3
Odd to put burning dragon in here considering its so new that there hasn't even been opportunity to play it and then not mention its specifically support for the rank 8 deck instead posing it as generic spell trap removal.
I thought it was interesting enough to evaluate even though it is new
