i’m so invested in this series, it’s so nice to go back through the sets i grew up with :’) i’m currently on a quest to get one of every card from BT01 to BT05, i just completed BT01, 02, 03, and 04 :)
Ahh, I was one of the two players who went with Tachikaze in the Australian Qualifiers. I do own a Spectral Duke deck but didn't want to contribute to the GP statistics. And the joke that there was no Dark Irregulars presence in the qualifiers is because it was held in a church. Lost the first 2 rounds though. Could have won the 2nd round but got 6th damage healed. But at least I made it out with a playset of Sphere Magus, which for some reason was going at 30 bucks during that time.
My experience of BT04... Shadow Paladin was the hyped up clan of the set. So a lot of cards are sought after, especially the Blaster Dark SP, which was priced at around 90-100USD at the time, even more expensive than the Alternate Art SP Phantom Blaster Deagon. I own said card, after getting off a guy for 20 bucks + tonnes of limited edition magazine stuff that I got. Still treasure it to this day, it was one of the most beautiful SPs ever. Even the R rarity Blaster Dark was priced quite high too. But sadly Bushiroad International fumbled the R rarity distribution of the box. Before this set, you can get at least 1 of each R rarity cards, more if the amount of R rarity cards in that set is less than 30. However, this was not the case for BT04EN. You can sometimes get multiple copies of a certain R rarity card while not getting a single copy of another. So you can have some lucky person who opened a box and get a playset or R Blaster Darks while another person could open another box and get no Blaster Darks. The second biggest winner of the set is in my opinion, Nova Grapplers. The Blau series opens up another playstyle of Novas, which was scary at the time meaning you need to guard each Stern Blaukluger's attack unless you are on low damage. Dimension Police and Megacolony are another highlight clan of the set, as the set made these 2 clans playable. Though DP is on the losing end as the anime showcased Great Daiyusha, which will come out in BT08, so not many people is keen on making an Enigman Storm deck. Though the set did feature a very useful RR in Commander Laurel which will be a staple for DP decks in the future. And finally, Kagero and Royal Paladins give new decks for both clans in Amber Dragons and Garmore. It also gave Royals a new starter in Blugal in which just acts as a free 4k booster in case people don't want to run the Galahad engine. Garmore is a pretty fun deck with the easiest swarming tactic for Royals. Against decks with no retire capabilities, it's easy to maintain that field advantage until the finisher in Soul Saver Dragon. But alas, it is still overshadowed by Gold Paladins.
gonna help ye in this one, but for some pronunciations are actually different. earlier, there's Beaumains, it's actually pronounced like "Bowman" and "Marquis" is pronounced like "Markey" and "Luquier", it's pronounced like "Lu-Key-Eh" Nimue is like "Nimu-eh" and now fer set 4. Skull Witch, Nemain (actually pronounced like "Nevan") Darkness Maiden, Macha (actually pronounced like "Maha") Dark Mage, Badhabh Caar (actually pronounced like "Bibe Car") Blaujunger is like "Blau-yunger" the names are based on the Morrighan trio, and they have some kinda interesting pronunciations (gaelic / irish) because I know once the set 4 video comes out, it'll probably bug me with that. Also, Brandon Smith did WHAT now!? I dunt get it, 2012 had later accusations of buggery 2013 had a shuffle cheater who also knocked off a card shop and 2014 had a lug who cheated on stream and intentionally misread his vanguard's limit break skill.
This and the first half of Shinemon were the only times Great Nature was put in the spotlight in any capacity gotta appreciate those sets
Actually Great Nature is a pretty solid deck that get overlooked.
During the Legion Era and the Early G era, that deck has a lot of draw power.
Don't forget the hammsuke won worlds in 2019 iirc

46:14 your Philippine Flag is wrong and should be Blue on Top and Red in the bottom in times of peace.
