Mirage couldn't even get a tamer in play. All hail Doru

[@pedrofigueroa3368]

I was waiting for this vod. Thank you for the great analysis!

[@dimaspagam7271]

I feel the mirage player kinda rush a bit too early maybe

[@Silvermoon1k]

14:00 to me it looks like Kurov is in the wrong, not his opponent. People are always trying to reboot immediately after they pass turn. It's not the opponent's fault kurov is impatient and can't wait for start of turn effects to occur first. Unless I missed some speaking there cuz I don't know the language .-.

[@TitoRodrigez-h2w]

Mirage unsuspended, which means he entered the unsuspend phase and was opting to skip the start of turn trigger of scramble. Therefore kurova was right to unsuspend after Mirage unsuspended

[@Silvermoon1k]

@@TitoRodrigez-h2w Thank you for the correction. I rewinded, and I see it now. I think East going back and forth thru the video was what threw me off the 1st time I watched.

[@DeCa796]

Kurova missplaying and still showing why he is THE dorugamon player.

[@TemBear]

For the scramble situation in game 1. My opinion is since he didn't draw yet idt rulesharking really works but def depends on judge

[@kelvinhernandez4714]

Man glad he won it all but it was soooooo cringe when he kept using Doruga effect to trash and draw. He got so lucky twice!

[@KnTElixar]

Kurova actually played out the final few turns reallyi well. Demon Wolf to get an alliance target would have been cool but ultimately he didn't have lethal in any permutation there.
The final turn his looga wouldn't have been able to attack anyway so making sure that the taunt went up to prevent burst mode was more important than not sacrificing memory. He had enough to get into DoruGrey which is all that mattered. If that burst mode came down he was going to get lamped for his life savings.

[@rcthehedgehog]

Personally I think had he let the Doruga die, he restands Dorugora, Demon wolf into another lvl 3, alliance into security for the last 2 checks then swing his promoted Looga for game

Dex supremacy

This was nuts

[@RobertoCarlos-it8rn]

I was having heart attacks watching this

[@East_ML]

You and me both brother. You and me both

[@TonyPino18]

In order to taunt you need to use dourgamon’s effect so they had to draw.

[@kelvinhernandez4714]

No, they're separated by a period. It's optional to trash and draw, but the taunt is mandatory if an SoC tamer is underneath, bc why, if worded the way you think it is, would they include 2 conditions to taunt?

[@TonyPino18]

@@kelvinhernandez4714 it’s a situation that in order to do B you need to do A so if you don’t do the 1st part of the effect you cannot taunt. If I’m wrong I would love to see a source to prove it as this will change a lot of my plays with the deck.

"Then" Effects
Some effects read, ". Then, ," effectively splitting themselves into multiple parts.
When activating effects like these, first perform , then perform .
You can activate these effects even if you can only activate half or none of the parts.​@@TonyPino18

@@TonyPino18 You have to discard + draw to Taunt. Its do A to do B like you said.
