Apologies if this video is edited a bit differently than usual. I recently hired an editor to help improve the efficiency of my workflow, and I'm still teaching him the ins and outs of how I like everything to be polished. We were under a bit of a tight time constraint for this episode, so there wasn't time to get things as polished as I would have liked, but I wanted to ensure the content got out to you all on time!
Secrets of Eternity was released in January 2015. This set introduced the Infernoids, a series of monsters that can special summon themselves to the field by banishing other Infernoid monsters from either the hand or the graveyard. Notable cards in this set include Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Qliphort Monolith, Uni-Zombie, Nephe Shaddoll Fusion and a card that would bolster Satellarknight to combat the Burning Abyss Shaddoll Meta, Stellarknight Constellar Diamond. In this series
Yeah Cimo mentioned in the intro that DAD should have been banned here... But like, imagine if you were one of the guys who bought 3 200 dollar dads, only to have him banned like a week later. I'd fucking die, or leave Yugioh forever, or both lmao.
You can stack/power shuffle irl. These decks would not have been nearly as good if there were a digital format at the time. Not that they wouldnt be tier 1, but they are too bricky when not doing questionable stuff to be consistently sweeping top 8's.
I'm so glad that this is the last episode where DAD is the strongest deck. Certainly after Light of Destruction, the deck will get hit with the banlist and no one will be on DAD and we will enter a fair and balanced format. Right? That's what happened yes?
Rewatching these a year-ish later and yeah, he really did. Not ditching Malicious the first chance he got in game 2 was a total "I want to dead" moment.
Do you know what is a good counter to your opponent having three DArk monsters in Grave? Soul Release, a card for some reason at least according to these dudes people pretended didn't exist. It also would've helped Cimo to banish Giant Trunade and Premature Burial in the Graveyard last week, but no, players are fine with their opponents summong Dark Armed Dragon and losing to Magical Explosion. And you can't even argue that he couldn't prepare properly for Magical Explosion since it was left to the wheel, that's what the bleedin SIDE DECK is for.
@@clayxros576 cyber valley effect is not once per turn and Ligh and Darkness negation is mandatory. he keep activating Valley effect to force the negations until it could not negate anymore.
@@number-qx1kw MBT attended the prestigious KaibaCorp academy institution while Gage was thought by Squidward and a donkey at Squidward Community College Why else would Gage run Verdant Sanctuary + Terraforming or other dumb bullshit? The book of dueling written by Squidward himself says to run bricks on your deck builds before going to night.
That's just dumb thinking, they're 2 different formats. Theyre not even comparable. One series is, I only have some cards I pull and this one is I have all the cards! And let's play only decks that were competitive during that time so it's basically equal ground. There's no way you can say MBT would have done better with the same pool of cards if he was in Gage's seat in that series.
Cimooo spins DAD Return and proceeds to play a list that contais Allure of Darkness, LaD, Scapegoat, doomsday, monarchs, AND Return from a diferrent dimesion.... HIS DECK HAVE ALL THE WHELL
Oh man this brings me back. I remember being 14, buying three Dark Emperor decks (pretty much the first structure deck that you could just buy three of, get a few more cards and it was almost competitively viable), and making my first ever ebay YGO purchases which were like three holo DD Scout Planes from IOC, a holo Return, Ultimate DD Survivors and three Cyber Valleys and I built this Macro Monarch deck cause I already had a Raiza and two Thestalos (and that was a relatively common Monarch lineup at the time) along with a DOOMSDAY HORROR I pulled from PTDN and decided to splash in (wasn't fortunate enough to own any Necrofaces from GLAS). And I got fucking destroyed.
It's a shame that Dark Armed Dragon didn't really get much of the spotlight in the video itself, but it is indicative of a Tier 0 format that there's just this one thing that's looming over the game, just waiting to come out, and if it does, it ruins the entirety of the game for the person not summoning DAD. Glad that I was only 7 years old and unaware of the game's existence at the time!
@@gaaraofthefunk265 So Dad Allure is when he leaves for his cute executive assistant with the fake bazongers, and Dad Returns is the sequel where he comes back?
I didn't mind the wheel here since it was just deciding between variations of different decks! Great episode and it's exciting that you have an editor now
I remember I was in 4th grade when Dark Armed Dragon came out. This one girl in my class managed to get it but none of us knew at the time because we were so young just how strong and valuable it was at the time.
Cimo faced Magical Scientist OTK in his first locals. My first (and last) local was a round-robin full of all DAD matchups during this time. It's no wonder my competitive Yugioh career started and ended on that day.
@@jackedwards9007 No its effect is untouched. It's Just that DAD and other similar boss monsters is basically powercreepted. Most modern decks of today are very super combo oriented. So you rather have combo oriented cards that is more live at almost any Givin moment during a match. While still helping build your board up. Extra monsters essentially made main deck boss monsters a little less good. So there's no need to play early game bricks like BLS and DAD, that require a bit of set up anymore.
@@JDBass36 Its because those two do nothing turn 1. You can search either with Chaos Space, and manipulate the GY very easily to get the exact 3 darks for DAD with all the banishing going on. But once they hit the field, they do nothing but remove stuff, and there's no stuff to remove turn 1. TL;DR neither sees play because Levianeer exists
@@jackedwards9007 Nope, DAD's effect wasn't changed. Maybe you're thinking of Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon? That one was changed to give it a hard once per turn.
It will be a staple for every dark attribute deck. Blackwings play it, Inzektors play it. Even decks like Synchro Cat and Lightsworn Rulers played it. And of course Shaddolls
For the record in game 2, when using Mind Crush, Cimo doesn’t get to see MBT’s hand because all legal copies of Premature Burial are in public knowledge locations.
Hello from France 🥖 I started competitive Yu-Gi-Oh at this very format, being 15yo and bringing my one-of Dark Emperor structure deck to local tournaments. I earned the surname "Macro" for pulling wins against DaDs after building a pretty annoying Macro-monarch deck. Good times !
A great episode ! I think it really showcases just how much the game changed from the Synchro era onwards, when all of a sudden the boss monsters became concentrated in the extra deck and available at all time, meaning that whether it's 2009-10 and you're summoning Stardust Dragon or it's and 2020 and you're aiming for VFD, in most cases you're guaranteed to summon your ace monster(s) 70-90% of the time, which just wasn't true before, even in the case of a card as ubiquitous as Dark Armed Dragon.
For a new editor, this is actually pretty much satisfactory. Nice. On another topic, I'm quite sure Phantom of Chaos does not inflict damage to opponent, but then again its effect was replaced by Stratos'
Note: When both players play so badly, it looks like it's impossible to summon a DAD. Cimo could have banished the Malicious to be at 3 DARKs in the GY in two of the three games. Infuriating.
Genuinely cool episode and really like seeing how even if the decks have in theory a lot in common, the differences they have like 3 Solemns really does change things.
Progression Series allow for the most creativity and innovation amongst the 3, however neither Gage nor Alex take full advantage of that. History of YGO is the most "standard" one out of the 3 and significantly showcases the skill level of the pilots. Fortunately, Cimo and MBT's technical plays using pre-built decks are passable the majority of the times. Sealed Showdown i predict is going to be very inconsistent in terms of quality due to the huge variance in resources per episode. Some weeks will be absolute bangers while some will be unwatchable garbage.
If we are lucky, we will both get to enjoy ourself next week because I am looking forward to Lightsworn. Maybe we will get Gladiator Beast vs Lightsworn
I love this era as Dark Armed Dragon is one of my favorite cards and playing it now instead of then it is not very expensive. It is so fun to play, once you retroactively play it without the price ceiling it is a blast.
This format was when I ended my competitive run with the game. DAD format was just too punishing. In the OCG it wasn't so bad since DAD was a far cheaper card and got reprinted pretty early on.
The fact they banned Dimension Fusion but left Return from the Different Dimension as Limited, and didn't even touch Dark Armed Dragon, blows my mind lmao
42:57 >uses brain control on grepher >doesn't use grepher's effect to dump mali and send disc commander to grave >tributes spirit reaper and grepher leaving single token up >wonders why shirt of shame always comes back for him
2:54 "even at their playgrounds if someone had pulled a dad" @ the british, this was how i learnt that americans don't use the other meaning of the word pulled
@@CD-zi6rb from urban dictionary: English word that means to hook up with someone or make out with them, often at a party or nightclub. Tongues are often involved. You can also be 'on the pull', which means to seek out or pursue someone with whom you want to get off with (often a complete stranger).
Man, this is the format that I started playing competitive yugioh in, and even though I got my teeth kicked in, it was a blast playing dark world and just losing to DAD in awe when it appeared. Ironically I started playing magic competitively during Caw-Blade, so I guess I just have a thing for tier 0 formats.
Why does Ash need to be banned again? Also, Halq is actually not used as much as it has been. Mine 100% needs to be banned. But Ash has no place on the banlist.
In order: Banning Ash Blossom helps Tier 1 decks wayyyyy more than rogue, which is really not what you want. A way to hit consistency and encourage player interaction in the hyper fast turn 1 environment that Yugioh has become is not something that should really be villainized, no matter how frustrating it might be to have a turn ruined by it. Halq is a monster of a card and the only one I would agree deserves banning for being too good. The fact that they banned seemingly every decent Tuner instead frustrates and baffles me. Mystic Mine, despite reading like a poorly thought out custom card and causing degenerate garbage to see play, has never seen enough wide scale tournament level success to be bannable. Largely because unlike most casual play, competitive yugioh take on the Match format and often cards sided to deal with specific meta threats also conveniently wreck Mine. I would ban it anyway on the grounds that even in the ideal scenario the cards intended function is cancerous, but I get why it's never been hit before, outside blanket strikes against all field spells.
@@orochimochi905 The main argument for Mine is almost the same as for the DAD format. It's very much not fun. No amount of objective analysis can defy that, no matter how many decks play it or not. Just because there is an out to a card doesn't mean it's a good idea to keep it in the game.
An important trap card came out to me in the structure deck. Iron wall. Once when I played it. My opponent told me that I killed his deck due to having no outs. It was a dark remove from play deck.
I’m guessing if you weren’t playing DAD you had a control deck with Kycoo right? That would be a good way to get rid of monsters from the opponents graveyard.
Should have pitched the Mali when you Brained the Grepher before sacking off for for LADD. Could have even kept your reaper too if you wanted to use the second mali to sack for LADD.
Imagine my surprise when I learned that the Dark Armed Dragon I owned at the time of this format, which I was too young to actually play in and was just collectong cards, was like $300 and was the main focus of a tier 0 deck
The amount of resignation on both of their faces on the wheel screens says it all. This format is actually probably the main reason I never got *into* Yu-Gi-Oh in the first place and just stuck with MtG (which I had been playing for years). I had a bunch of friends who played both games around this time and literally all of them told me to avoid learning Yu-Gi-Oh bc it was so miserable, and that sentiment stuck with me for enough years until it was at a point where I wasn't interested in learning a new paper card game any more (and by learning I don't mean learning to play the game, I mean learning to play it competitively).
Crushcard only lasts for 3 turns and activateing it in your opponents turn is turn 1 so only 2 draw phases more (and ofc all cards drawn from other sources such as d-draw)
When I was a kid my grandpa bought me a discounted phantom darkness pack and I actually pulled a first edition dad and I also pulled a first edition jd from a light of destruction booster box. I still own the cards and the booster pack they were in, I will never forget the excitement of unboxing them
13:45 "People started siding Royal Decree, so we're only playing 1 Return from the Different Dimension" Meanwhile Cimo at the start: "Return from the different dimension is now limited to 1."

Dang it. I spilled my milk reading this
Ironically Cimo did drew DAD return. But we all know I didn't.
I can see why this format turned so many people off, If I wanted to get beat by dad I could just have stayed home.

I'm so glad that this is the last episode where DAD is the strongest deck. Certainly after Light of Destruction, the deck will get hit with the banlist and no one will be on DAD and we will enter a fair and balanced format.

For a new editor, this is actually pretty much satisfactory.

On another topic, I'm quite sure Phantom of Chaos does not inflict damage to opponent, but then again its effect was replaced by Stratos'
So this is where DAD went when he said he was stepping out to get milk and a pack of smokes 15 years ago.
MBTs face when he flipped fires of doomsday was priceless
Now we need a cage fight between Joseph's DAD and Alex' DAD. And by DAD I mean their fathers.
Note: When both players play so badly, it looks like it's impossible to summon a DAD. Cimo could have banished the Malicious to be at 3 DARKs in the GY in two of the three games. Infuriating.
That cyber valley at the end was straight outta the anime...

Genuinely cool episode and really like seeing how even if the decks have in theory a lot in common, the differences they have like 3 Solemns really does change things.
Best series out of those three
Change my mind
MBT is what makes this show tbh, but also yeah the other two are subpar
Progression Series allow for the most creativity and innovation amongst the 3, however neither Gage nor Alex take full advantage of that.
History of YGO is the most "standard" one out of the 3 and significantly showcases the skill level of the pilots. Fortunately, Cimo and MBT's technical plays using pre-built decks are passable the majority of the times.
Sealed Showdown i predict is going to be very inconsistent in terms of quality due to the huge variance in resources per episode. Some weeks will be absolute bangers while some will be unwatchable garbage.
Been looking forward to this upcoming format with Glad Beasts and nearing the dawn of the 5D's Synchro era with Tele-DAD just right around the corner.

2:54 "even at their playgrounds if someone had pulled a dad" @ the british, this was how i learnt that americans don't use the other meaning of the word pulled
Apologies if this is a silly question, but what’s the other meaning of “pulled” aside from acquiring a card specific card from a pack
@@CD-zi6rb 🍆 related
@@CD-zi6rb from urban dictionary: English word that means to hook up with someone or make out with them, often at a party or nightclub. Tongues are often involved. You can also be 'on the pull', which means to seek out or pursue someone with whom you want to get off with (often a complete stranger).

The Brits really on another level
Man, this is the format that I started playing competitive yugioh in, and even though I got my teeth kicked in, it was a blast playing dark world and just losing to DAD in awe when it appeared. Ironically I started playing magic competitively during Caw-Blade, so I guess I just have a thing for tier 0 formats.
0:52 Don't worry, we have plenty more cards that constantly escape the banlist:
Ash Blossom
Crystron Needlefibre
Mystic Mine
Why does Ash need to be banned again? Also, Halq is actually not used as much as it has been. Mine 100% needs to be banned. But Ash has no place on the banlist.
Ash Blossom doesn’t need to be banned lol
In order:
Banning Ash Blossom helps Tier 1 decks wayyyyy more than rogue, which is really not what you want. A way to hit consistency and encourage player interaction in the hyper fast turn 1 environment that Yugioh has become is not something that should really be villainized, no matter how frustrating it might be to have a turn ruined by it.
Halq is a monster of a card and the only one I would agree deserves banning for being too good. The fact that they banned seemingly every decent Tuner instead frustrates and baffles me.
Mystic Mine, despite reading like a poorly thought out custom card and causing degenerate garbage to see play, has never seen enough wide scale tournament level success to be bannable. Largely because unlike most casual play, competitive yugioh take on the Match format and often cards sided to deal with specific meta threats also conveniently wreck Mine. I would ban it anyway on the grounds that even in the ideal scenario the cards intended function is cancerous, but I get why it's never been hit before, outside blanket strikes against all field spells.
Dude ash blossom helps rogue heck no. needlefibre yes. Mystic mine Ban it for only meta decks yes.
@@orochimochi905 The main argument for Mine is almost the same as for the DAD format. It's very much not fun. No amount of objective analysis can defy that, no matter how many decks play it or not.
Just because there is an out to a card doesn't mean it's a good idea to keep it in the game.
Turns out the real patriarch of the DAD deck is DMOC.
When a guy is bothering a girl too much: I summon DaD in attack mode!
Why stop there? Bring forth the doom!
Wow, that Cyber Valley play was really big brain for whoever first realized it.
That Nuclear Waste Site warning is perfect.
proxies on the playground was how i kept having fun with yugioh.
This episode was probably punishment for Cimo's ridiculous topdecks in Progression and History
32:32 HOLY SHIT I got a fucking heart attack, lmao my PC has been a little shaky lately thought is straight up DIED
An important trap card came out to me in the structure deck. Iron wall. Once when I played it. My opponent told me that I killed his deck due to having no outs. It was a dark remove from play deck.
I’m guessing if you weren’t playing DAD you had a control deck with Kycoo right? That would be a good way to get rid of monsters from the opponents graveyard.
Should have pitched the Mali when you Brained the Grepher before sacking off for for LADD. Could have even kept your reaper too if you wanted to use the second mali to sack for LADD.
The bit about Malicious is very funny in April 2024, considering he left his home in the semi-limit list for the first time in ages.
46:55 Gotta love reading the top line of card text
Imagine my surprise when I learned that the Dark Armed Dragon I owned at the time of this format, which I was too young to actually play in and was just collectong cards, was like $300 and was the main focus of a tier 0 deck
Cimo spins dad return. Plays LDad with dad control sided. Pick a deck
“It’s a very dark time for Yugioh history” I wonder if we can say this for our current format as well😅
Nah. If anything it’s way to bright XD (drytron)
That Cyber Valley-LADD interaction is hilarious. Cyber Dragons: Great From the Beginning
15:33 "I think you're going to see some *dad* *droppings* in this episode." is what I heard
Anyone else notice how just done with all of this Cimo is
These games just reminds me of my dad and how I never seen him and he never made an impact in my life.
The amount of resignation on both of their faces on the wheel screens says it all.
This format is actually probably the main reason I never got *into* Yu-Gi-Oh in the first place and just stuck with MtG (which I had been playing for years). I had a bunch of friends who played both games around this time and literally all of them told me to avoid learning Yu-Gi-Oh bc it was so miserable, and that sentiment stuck with me for enough years until it was at a point where I wasn't interested in learning a new paper card game any more (and by learning I don't mean learning to play the game, I mean learning to play it competitively).
cimoooo not pitching the mali with mbt's grepher hurt my soul
The best part of this is Cimo choosing paper during rps
Crushcard only lasts for 3 turns and activateing it in your opponents turn is turn 1 so only 2 draw phases more (and ofc all cards drawn from other sources such as d-draw)
I love MBT's opening. It's amazing.
I absolutely ADORE Joseph's sleeves for today!!
When I was a kid my grandpa bought me a discounted phantom darkness pack and I actually pulled a first edition dad and I also pulled a first edition jd from a light of destruction booster box. I still own the cards and the booster pack they were in, I will never forget the excitement of unboxing them
13:45 "People started siding Royal Decree, so we're only playing 1 Return from the Different Dimension"
Meanwhile Cimo at the start: "Return from the different dimension is now limited to 1."
I got all the Yu-Gi-Oh cards boyyyyy
This video needs to get added to the playlist. I just noticed its not there.
