I think this is the first time in the series we’ve actually cared that our opponent used Maxx C, which is such a hilarious way of showing how strong this deck has gotten
My own masochist deck honestly gets hurt by it, I’ve ended up making a strat to rush monsters like mekk knights on the field to use as tribute fodder for Krystia and Vanity’s Ruler (also some mad pulls). Also have BLS link, Number 101, and exciton knight which are crazy. Not to mention I also somehow have fenrir… It is funny when I don’t open any of that crazy side though, I just normal a level 4 and it’s so funny to see the Maxx c -1 drop :)
@@danmanproking2179 my strategy was also hurt by maxx c to my deck plan was always summon some monster that can special summon in hand and i also have kaiju's and the spell card that can return monster to there original owners
Ballgame is such an insanely cool card. They need to make an insect with an effect like: "You can discard this card; Add 1 'Ball' card that mentions insect monsters from your deck to your hand." I would play the shit out of Ballpark insects if they did that.
I forgot what episode it was, but I remember Cimooooo considering cutting it and calling it not that great. Just goes to show you that it's actually a solid card in his insect deck. Makes more sense to keep Ballpark over dogshit like Man-eater bug if you ask me.
@@IrrelevantOaf Pretty sure it left the deck at some point, came back when we needed Continuous Spells for Metaltron, and then Cimo forgot to remove it again. Which is cool, it allowed this card to prove itself!
I feel the best borrel for master duel is borrelguard it's underlooked it says can't be destroyed by card effects so it's both & borrelend is a link 5 too high investment! 😂
36:09 Spirit is passively negating Bird of Roses because it prevents 2+ monster being summoned at the same time, and Bird of Roses HAS to summon exactly 2.
17:22 the right choice here may have been to actually banish lovely labyrnth. most lab builds only play one of her. if you banished her, you would've had a much better shot at taking it, even if i don't know if you would've won outright Lady Lab is annoying to deal with but besides being sticky as hell, she's not as strong without Lovely also in rotation. and Lab decks always play at least 2 so banishing her doesn't do much when she's so easily accessible
He could've prevented so much card destruction if he banished it. He was scared of the lady labrynth but he has ice dragons prison in his deck, which is great at taking her out.
Absolutely Lovely was the only legitimate choice. He got a golden chance and passed it up like nothing. No wonder he loses to Lab everytime when he doesn't even know how to play against them.
Whenever Alex scoops after seeing one card out of his opponent, I always wonder if it was another masochist that just happened to pull a card or two from that archetype
Watch that the guy that opened with Wakaushi only activated it hoping Cimo would scoop because he has only 1 Superheavy to search and it's the 8th best one
I lowkey groan every time Cimo scoops after seeing one card a lot of the time. The point of masochist is to give yourself a challenge by making it harder on yourself, no? Then at least play it out and see if the opponent actually knows their deck
This card reminded me of the effect of a card that Izayoi YGO TF4 used called "mask of roses" where the effect of equipping it on an opponent's monster will take control of it
@@V-O-V it definitely felt like they didn't really know what they were doing and just kinda clicking buttons that being said, a baby with a nuke can win more often than a tactician with a water balloon
First thing I see today is Cimo’s masochist deck beating a full constructed Branded and I am already drowning in pleasure😂 Albeit the pilot might have been a newbie but STILL, Sanctifire outed by horneedle IS PEAK.
8:51 Giant Ballgame has another effect 53:44 wanna see cimooooo doing it again? (NO! You should have put it in the middle zone for hypotehtical V extra link)
To be fair 90% of the time he draws ballgame its dead. These just happened to be a time when it wasnt. Its been in the deck since he pulled it and it always just sits in the hand.
Konami is turning every darn deck into a combo deck lmao. Salanangreat used to be midrange, now it is combo. Altergeist used to be control, now it is combo. Dinosaur used to be OTK deck, now it is combo. I mean put a resonator engine into Labrinth and guess what, it is also combo xD.
I'm not even sure how to distinguish between any deck type in the game anymore tbh. Literally all of the relevant decks have the same "combo into a big board" style, at least as far as I can tell.
That first game was so great. I also didn't read that card, so the reveal was amazing. I wonder if there were any other previous situations it could've saved a game or two.
You had the line much earlier in the Code Talker game. You could have crashed Giant Rat and summoned Resonance. Then Ballgame reveal Cross Sword and swap Firewall/Resonance.
I recently just started my own masochist run and got to Plat V after 117 games. Personally, I think this is where the heart of Masochist run is. There's a bunch of meta decks roaming around and the ups and downs really make it for me. I'm playing an additional two rules: Rule 5; 3 Win Streak, 1 Common Maindeck monster craft that is NOT in your collection, and Rule 6; 5 Win Streak, 1 Rare Maindeck monster craft that is NOT in your collection. This means that the pressure is really on when you start hitting a stride (or lucky streak). 181 Games played and only used Rule 5 four times total (and have never gotten to use Rule 6). Something to think about. Best of luck on the road to diamond. I'll be on the trail with ya.
Neither player can Special Summon 2 or more monsters at the same time. This effect of Spirit Dragon prevents the effect of Bird of Roses (it wasn't because of missed timing).
"a and if you do b" and "a then b" both conditionally link a and b, the difference is just when b happens. "a and if you do b" makes b happen at the same time, while "a then b" A happens first, and B happens in the next gamestate.
Cimo you should of used exceed dragon bait the singularity then get two level fours to stick he gains 500 atk on the link rating of monsters pointing to it lol
Was wondering how long it would take Cimo to realize the potential of giant ball game. I recognized it as soon as he put it in the deck but he always just used it for the weak monster reborn effect instead of the creature swap effect.
I think once a week you should do a masochist tournament and the winner, including yourself gets to pick one card from all of the participants carpools to craft
He'd kill for some of my generic insect stuff I've got floating around. Or my Royal Chaos Angel. He's a wonderful big bastard that sits there like an asshole.
I think a good pull would be Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring. While it doesn't fit the insect archetype, it has a pretty unique effect in hand, that may be helpful
That's Gold for you, 99% of games are Bots or Try Hards (If you play Snake Eyes in gold or lower we are talking about you) and like 1% are fun back and forth matches. Its sad when you look forward to someone summoning DM because at lest its not a bot.
YuGi-Boomer in me was driven crazy by that Lab game at 22:00. Man summoned and resummoned and special summoned half his deck and extra in a single turn while blowing through at least 3 destruction/banish attempts, and wiped out Cimo of every single resource he had and still ended on a full board and up 6 cards. I know its Masochist deck and vs a Meta deck its going to be a shit show sometimes, I get it. But damn I just hate it lol.
I think this is the first time in the series we’ve actually cared that our opponent used Maxx C, which is such a hilarious way of showing how strong this deck has gotten

The rage quit after getting Singularity stolen and then hit in with Beargram was the perfect ending 😂 Ballgame is absolutely insane

They need to make an insect with an effect like: "You can discard this card; Add 1 'Ball' card that mentions insect monsters from your deck to your hand."
I would play the shit out of Ballpark insects if they did that.
Think it can just be "Giant Ball" card
I had a Giant Ball Park deck for a little bit and it was dumb but fun

I was looking for this comment, bird being a “when: you can” effect has nothing to do with it not being able to activate.
@@lorenzomontanari722 He doesn't really understand the rules so he blames the "when you can" part whenever he has an issue. Kinda hilarious
When spirit dragon just says F U and have two effects to negate Bird of roses
@@8XHuXBgkok especially considering the game tells you when it missed timing.
Thumbnail has the wrong Giant Ball-card. Was hyped that he would pull Ballpark, but still fun.
17:22 the right choice here may have been to actually banish lovely labyrnth. most lab builds only play one of her. if you banished her, you would've had a much better shot at taking it, even if i don't know if you would've won outright
Lady Lab is annoying to deal with but besides being sticky as hell, she's not as strong without Lovely also in rotation. and Lab decks always play at least 2 so banishing her doesn't do much when she's so easily accessible
Yeah, I was yelling at my phone about how banishing Lovely is such a hard hit for Lab.
Yeah he literally hit the 1 of with ogre and didn't banish it...
He could've prevented so much card destruction if he banished it. He was scared of the lady labrynth but he has ice dragons prison in his deck, which is great at taking her out.
Same here, idk why he though Lady was the best hit when is just a Trap Card extender to begin with
Absolutely Lovely was the only legitimate choice. He got a golden chance and passed it up like nothing. No wonder he loses to Lab everytime when he doesn't even know how to play against them.

That would mean Alex has to sit through Snake-Eyes full combo over and over again. He has people live there.
@@Daniel-ne5ms No one said wait the full combo lmao. Obviously if they start to combo off it's obvious they know what they're doing.
@@BlueSparxLPs How do you know they won't mess it up?
The bird of roses didn't miss timing, the spirit dragon prevents from summoning more than 1 monster at the same time, and bird summons 2
Giga cannon crashing into masq was also game because it has a second effect
4:12 ah yes if only we had 2000 more attack.... if only we could've summoned another monster....
We all make misplays but Alex playing too conservative hurts him more than it helps most the time
Every single time, he claims Ballgame is useless when it would have won him multiple games.
Cimo not banishing the one copy of Lovely that most lab users plays took me 20 years of life ☠️
I love how all of today's episode was Cimo failing because reading.
17:25 - for future reference, banish the lovely lady. they only play 1
I think we found THE lab player. Almost their entire deck is royal.
This card reminded me of the effect of a card that Izayoi YGO TF4 used called "mask of roses" where the effect of equipping it on an opponent's monster will take control of it
That first game against Branded was so good wow I wonder if they know they lost to a masochist deck
definitely one of the Branded players of all time
i mean the branded player was horrific, they probably lose to most people they play against.

Obviously Espa Roba knew where to target the Compulse. Espa Roba is psychic.
15:00 he will simply never open the most earned pack
LOL GIANT BALLGAME CARRY, owned that fallen of albaz player. Was there live for that and it was amazing
29:51 thats actually a mini floo penguin if you manage to stick it on the field
36:23 it doesnt miss timing... bird cant trigger under spirit
And right after he gloated about reading cards, too. XD
34:15 Honestly, a brilliant play on your part.
You can't use bird because spirit ban you from summon 2+ monsters
Watching this series, I alwas get out with the very poignant question: "what is a deck?"
And Ill never get the answer
What is a deck? A miserable little pile of secrets, but enough talk have at you!
@@_sorbetunderscore glass of wine shatters
@@moebino2685*Summons Vampire Voivode and attempts to attack Vampire Hunter*
That Cyberse player had game with Crystal Heart and Transcode and just linked them back into Singularity XD
That first victory was amazing, never seen you use that second effect of ballgame😂
How did we went from "We need to cut Ballgame it does nothing" to "Won 2 games because of Ballgame"?
Ah yes, reading.
To be fair 90% of the time he draws ballgame its dead. These just happened to be a time when it wasnt. Its been in the deck since he pulled it and it always just sits in the hand.
@@SuperRedNovaDragon As a monster Reborn. Then he realized just this episode that it was just not a bad Monster Reborn. It switches monsters.
Drink every time Cimo says "i forgot"
I was laughing hard waiting on you to realize Harbinger’s other effect.
I wanna say the “bot” with double Cyclone was Hardleg but idk
This episode brought to you by Reading!
He finally figured out Ballgame is insane 😭 I wonder how many times before this it would have saved his ass
Many. Even just as a bad Monster Reborn, yet he refused to activate it because he won't use the ED.
Literally every Ranked/Duelist Cup/WCS game ever: 23:03
Insane. That branded victory was amazing.
0:56 That card looks straight out of those YGO card makers.
Konami is turning every darn deck into a combo deck lmao. Salanangreat used to be midrange, now it is combo. Altergeist used to be control, now it is combo. Dinosaur used to be OTK deck, now it is combo. I mean put a resonator engine into Labrinth and guess what, it is also combo xD.
Fiendsmith is gonna make everything even more obnoxious. Even Lab is gonna full combo you. Hell, even Blue-Eyes is gonna get a combo xD
I'm not even sure how to distinguish between any deck type in the game anymore tbh. Literally all of the relevant decks have the same "combo into a big board" style, at least as far as I can tell.
True, but whenever control or aggro or stun decks are even somewhat playable, people start rioting. Yugioh players seem to only want combo mirrors.
Did he forget to claim a master pack entirely?
Nope he opens it at 15:51
Me when I comment before watching the video to the end.
55:00 As a Cyberse player, Im just offended by the way this guy played. He had game 10 thousand times
As a mathmech player, he also disgusts me. He deserved that loss 1000%
As a Salamangrear and Code Talker player, that guy fucked up hard I swear
As a Cyberse and @ignister player, it frustrated me how the guy could have won so many times!
I feel that way about the first branded player here AAAAAA
It’s low ranked what do you guys expect
That first game was so great.
I also didn't read that card, so the reveal was amazing.
I wonder if there were any other previous situations it could've saved a game or two.
Masochist should be a permanent game mode. Get 5 initial packs then 1 pack every victory. That would bring back tons of players to the game
You had the line much earlier in the Code Talker game.
You could have crashed Giant Rat and summoned Resonance. Then Ballgame reveal Cross Sword and swap Firewall/Resonance.
I thought that too but they ended up having Ash in hand and would have def negated Giant rats eff.
@@exLightningg Can't Ash in damage step.
@@dizbrony3906 oh real, it’s always small things like that that I forget
Shout out the 7,000 atk "Jinzo" lmao
Man, it's good you found a new way to use Ballgame, because the packs are really not helping you update your deck!

I'd watch a compilation of people not reading cards from cimo vids
That's just every video he already has.
Imagine reading then not reading the next interaction. Couldn't be me. 😅
52:01 Isn't Crystal Heart with Earth Co-link game?
The Compulse big brain move!!
Then immediately didn't read spirit dragon, which led him to confusion as to why bird of roses didn't trigger.
You need a gagaga cowboy in the worst way 😂😂
The last game was incredible Giant Ball Game came in clutch
Neither player can Special Summon 2 or more monsters at the same time.
This effect of Spirit Dragon prevents the effect of Bird of Roses (it wasn't because of missed timing).
Yo boss you gotta upload more regularly my fav series on RUclips atm ! 😀
That branded player really fucked up.... you shouldn't be losing to a MasterPacker ever as branded
is this guy actually beating branded with a frickin' masochist deck, take my like in this moment honorable gentleman
That lab deck was insane
cimo finally reading his cards
That last duel was amazing
"a and if you do b" and "a then b" both conditionally link a and b, the difference is just when b happens.
"a and if you do b" makes b happen at the same time, while "a then b" A happens first, and B happens in the next gamestate.
I would think Beufort 9 would be worth playing.
14:29
I aged 35 years waiting for the Labrynth turn to end
I think it’s better to just set your interactions rather than trying to play around a card your opponent may not have
Ik he's invested a ton of time into this beargram deck but I do feel it might be time to build a new deck when this season ends.
What's he supposed to build?
@@SuperRedNovaDragon idk. I haven't gotten that far yet
lab is trap deck btw, let that sink in meta enjoyers
If you had cowboy for game in that first one that would have been epic.
I feel like he must have other small engines but hyper focus on beargram. Pretty sure I saw a small cyber dragon package.
23:01 this is why Lab is a no brain AIDs deck
Ngl I kinda miss hearing “What is a deck?” at the beginning of each episode
I think Espa Roba must now of the Masochist run, and wanted to see if it could out Firewall Pass II.
36:23 Totally missing the point lol Read Spirit Dragon. It prevents special summoning of more than two monsters at the same time.
looks like ballgame is finally pulling its weight
Cimo you should of used exceed dragon bait the singularity then get two level fours to stick he gains 500 atk on the link rating of monsters pointing to it lol
masquerade the blazing insect lmao
Still think you should duel lord trent
9:51 that's ball "GAME"
Bird didn't miss timing. You couldn't activate due to spirit saying you can't
Was wondering how long it would take Cimo to realize the potential of giant ball game. I recognized it as soon as he put it in the deck but he always just used it for the weak monster reborn effect instead of the creature swap effect.
looks like creature swap is still a pretty good effect.
The only 7:46 thing could be an honest, but if they playing that they deserve it, the tech of all techs.
I think you have the wrong timestamp.
just came from watching runescape videos so hearing him suddenly say solo missions was jarring
Alex, please! You were lucky enough to find Lovely with Ogre, how can you not banish her? They would probably rage quit after that, lol.

He did he opened it at 15:51
Oh you're right
Thank you, I guess I either skipped it or wasn't paying attention
