Farfa is making good use of that green screen!
Tbf, it's the same amount of use it gets on any other stream lmao
“We have 4 YCS wins and one master duel worlds win between us” oooooffffff
Finally the Mystic Mindset Podcast is here
Ironically, Heart of the Cast sounds more ai generated than one this clever
Farfa is coward for not going with it
Wait that name is SO good
@@__-be1gk it's a pretty basic name for a ygo podcast, but the other gripe is that it's basically stylized as HotC which is way too similar to HoC.
Call this podcast mystic mindset now!
I wonder how some information here aged, considering Rarity Collection 2 got announced a few days after this episode....
So, what are your thoughts now?
Hour long plus episodes are perfect, would definitely recommend nothing shorter than an hour. I also love how y'all go in depth with each topic while keeping professional, makes for a great listening experience ^^
Crazy TH-cam only just now showed me this. Heart of the Cast is a great name!
With farfa, a pretty good commentator, and josh, a pretty good player, i would love to hear tournament stories and anecdotes and shit like that
Loving the podcast, would like them to be longer but I understand you're both probably pretty busy. Loving it regardless, hope to see it more!
the addition of chat is fcking phenomenal.
I'm glad to see more Yu-Gi-Oh Podcast
If this will be weekly, it would be great to have one or two "themed" topics that you talk about every week. Tech cards/archetypes, rulings, q/a etc. etc.
Funny thing about the card text and especially about summoning requirements. There is one thing I noticed many "newer" players confused: the materials for an Extra Deck Monster is basicly the first line of text in the "effect" box.
So I thought about it a few minutes and then I wondered, why are the materials not listed in the "Type"-Line.
Let's do Linkuriboh as an Example to show what I mean.
Right now it is like that [Cyberse/Link/Effect] then as first line of the "effect" part it says 1 Level 1 Monster.
Maybe the following way could be easier to understand for someone totally new: [Cyberse / Effect / Link: 1 Level 1 Monster].
Just a random idea I had and somehow it sticked in my head.
read a rush duel card on dueling nexus (preferably a fusion) then realise how much of a nightmare you are suggesting
Really enjoyed this! Hope you guys keep it going
I would definitely prefer more focused episodes, with fewer topics and longer discussions.
I learned the game back in late 2019 and my mate ,who showed me the ropes, built 3 decks for each of us where they kept getting stronger.
The first was vanilla monsters and very basic stuff. It never got to modern but it showed some combos and some of the cool aspects of Yugioh.
This got me hooked and really feel like if you want to give Yugioh a try you stuff like that is really good for new players.
love this! glad to be able to add this to my team aps weekly pods
Love the podcast! Would love more focused topics with added context like what's in the pack, why cards are good and exploring topics and play ability. Also helps to keep people updated if they don't follow news 100% and or they wanna go back and reminisce.
Could split one episode to be news roundup and another on focused topics on slow days.
Keep up the good work!!!
1:03:07 that’s a great point, it’s a chore learning a new deck mid game having to read each card
Would love for you guys to get Pak on. He's someone who came into the game in the last few years from scratch and had success. Would be cool to see his perspective on a new competitive player
Looking forward to more.
58:27 dealing with ygo card text will mean using space, paragraphs, numbering
Which can be accomplished by updated the ygo cards frames.
Rush duels is a really good example and a potential
Also including what Joshua said about being explicit with cost is nice
Lots of opportunities
Can we get Jeff Lenard on the Mystic Mindset podcast
Bruh, that video is just so good. I love that man.
Would love to hear you guys get into the macroeconomics of YGO; printing practices and how it influences card pricing vs the secondary market, as well as proposed hypothetical solutions to make the barrier to entry lower. Examples from other card games would help as well.
I don't think anyone's ever had a problem paying money for cards, but YGO prices are notoriously exorbitant, and power creep is no longer a suitable guise for price gouging.
Anyways, loving this content format lol
Woah it’s the World Champion 😮
This is an amazing first episode
W series
Love the idea, hope you guys keep it up!
Mystic Mindset is my new favorite podcast
Did not know about this and would love to keep hearing your two opinions
Was super sad after the top cut podcast ended, i cried with sonny but this can be good im glad i found it!
Please keep it going❤
the dissing at the beginning is fantastic
Feedback: use Farfa's Greenscrren to show Subway Surfers gamepkay in the background
The podcast I never knew I needed
Love this content especially with Josh
It’s mad that Josh has so many accolades that it could genuinely be believed they are that of two players.
Great pod. Loved it.
Banger content
Bring the professor to talk about reprint, alternative formats, staple cards and compare mtg and ygo
The horus stuff is a bit expensive too. While its nice that a lot of the cards releasing lately have viability. The short prints make it hard getting ahold of any of it.
To top it off you have scalpers that make scarce cards more scarce and expensive by extension.
More of this! Love it
I suppose they could make the order of events clearer with typesetting; not replacing conjunctions but maybe type them in bold or have the ones that don't describe things happening at the same time start a new line.
Activation conditions could be written in cursive.
Other things on cards that are not effects could be written in brackets, just as they do to have a card be treated as if it had a different name.
Really enjoyed this
I forgot the name of the podcast, so I typed Farfa Joshua Schmidt on youtube and it didn't come up anywhere. I had to go to Farfa's youtube channel in hope that there would be a link somewhere there to the podcast channel. I think finding ways to make it so the podcast is easier to find / come across would really help it grow. It was by watching an entire Joshua Schmidt stream that I even found out there is a podcast collab being made.
It would be nice to put some timestamps in the description.
Josh discussing board games makes me want more board game content. I think his pov as a world champion tcg player would be incredibly welcomed in the board game space. Reach out to dice tower or shelf side. I know shelfside has played a lot of yugioh so there could be awesome content there.
When was this recorded?
Even if I had to listen in two sessions because of irl stuff, I really enjoyed the content, hope you can continue doing these. Also, any chance you get this on Apple Podcast?
new podcast pogchamp? new podcast pogchamp!
New pogcast
Any chance this will be available on Apple Podcasts??? ❤
Love this! Keep ut up! ❤
Nearly 2 weeks late to the party, so it may have been mentioned later, but with 3v3 events MTG has a method that could be cool for konami to try (even though we know they won't)
Instead of a shared card pool, in team unified players "claim" cards, so if one player is playing any copies of lightning bolt, none of the other players in the team can play lightning bolt
Great podcast ! I would strongly recommend adding Spanish subs so more people can reach this nice content 🙌🏼
Josh roasting farfa is funny af 😂
Longer In depth podcast is always good imo
About the 2 player starter set: I am going to buy it. I own very few real cards. I mainly play yugioh on master duel, and I have only bought a couple real life products and only because I wanted to have some real cards. Not many people around me play, and a few days ago a friend of mine and I tried to make two decks witht the few cards that I had, and we were able to play speed duel format, but it was really bad. I think the product is great to have around for exactly this reason, I would like to have two ready to play decks that I could teach a friend about.
Please make this available on podcast apps!
Not sure if there's some currency conversion mishaps going on or if it's something else but the two-player set is way more expensive here in Australia, most retailers are pricing it at around $60 AUD and online it doesn't seem to dip below $40. For context, those same retailers are selling the Fire Kings structure deck at around $25, and I know you can get certain other structure decks for under $20. So you're basically paying the same price as 2.5-3 structure decks for a tutorial and a bunch of cards you'll never use again if you actually end up being interested in the game. If it was the price of a structure deck it'd be a great product, but I find it hard to sell to any of my friends (or justify buying it myself to give to them) at this price.
I love the concept of this, though i prefer longer podcasts. Something like 90 minutes to 2 hours to listen to while i work
Should definetly bring tasuku for the master duel disscussion
Do you guys have an RSS feed anywhere so I can cram it in Pocketcast?
Cant wait for the bird episode with kanak guest
Low-key the wording on yu gi oh cards has helped me with my studies in law.
Great great video just wondering if you can port this podcast to TH-cam music like other podcasts I listen to if you can’t don’t worry about it
In the ocg they can't change to a model like ours because of gambling laws. In Japan the gambling laws consider card game's boxes and booster packs as gambling and they have stricter laws on gambling. I saw this in a video explaining tcg and ocg card prices differences but can't remember exactly the name or the youtuber
I think dragon rulers could be experimented with in controlish decks
How didn't i see this series and channel 😔❤
Small counter point to Josh's argument about Konami not changing the way things are done. They did make an important change back with BOSH, and making each pack have a super rare now. Because before then there was no guarantee you would get a hold in a pack which eventually led to people weighing packs and finding which ones weighed more to get a holo. And pulling maybe 3 holos a box sucked, so now we have the current system which is a step in a better direction. Plus with rarity 2 announced already it shows people are leaning towards the OCG approach to rarities which should show them people want that system.
Hold your breath on the tcg shifting towards the ocg model. Just because rarity colletion 1 did well enough that they announced a sequel doesnt mean anything. We are going to need 3 or 4 of those types of sets being successful before konami even thinks of switching to the ocg model
I haven’t played yugioh since toss and this is still a fun listen 👍🏽
Dracossack can combo too😅
This is epic
farfa just going full on in this is a listening project and just giving himself the full "do I look like I know what a jpeg is!?" filter
ah yes, Duelist Duo: Farfa x Josh, my favorite
the og!
I think that doing something similar to the speed duel box would be a good intro to yugioh product. Instead of having 8 different decks you have it be 2 decks that progress through 3 different stages of difficulty. There would be a core of cards that are part of the deck at each stage, but you'd swap out the rest to make the deck more modern.
Stage 1 is very low powered and is intended to teach the fundamentals and basic rules of yugioh to someone who hasn't ever played before. Similarly to what the actual product is, but maybe with some more goat staples.
Stage 2 is faster paced and introduces Synchro and Xyz. Everything works a little better and a little faster, but not quite the speed of today.
Stage 3 introduces anything that wasn't in the previous stages and is essentially a modern deck. It is intended to be something you could conceivably face in a local or regional event. By no means would this be a straight up tournament quality deck though.
I would still include the script that the starter decks come with to kind of hand hold at the start of each stage. The price point could be around the $30 the speed duel box is because it would be about the same number of cards and you could even include the promo pack it has and do higher rarities of some of the goat/edison and modern staples.
This is coming from someone who is a returning DM era player that is just now getting into Edison and has found modern yugioh hard to connect with overall.
I love Josh, I'm a big fan
One Episode could discuss, which Decks are for beginners Andy which Decks are good in both Playstyle and deckcosts
1 hours is very good time for me i think
I swear I thought this as Josh said it, but this should have just been a solo mode update, and they send you a zeus in the mail
I don’t know if anyone cares but I learned on master duel but recently my lgs was holding a case tournament so my brother wanted to play so what did I do I gave him Floowandereeze he had a great time
Wherever you get your questions from please have them prepared in advance so you have structured points for them.
Also if you don't make a Patron and maybe even if you do you you could take questions from the comments here.
Please more of this guys!
I want to see a DB grinder true crime collab.
have Rarran play the 20$ tutorial and if he gets it it is a good product lmao. Jokes aside though it could be fun to reproduce the decks in md or some sim to host a newbie battle between 2 content creators and see how it turns out. It might be entertaining, who knows
Timeless? Get YOURYUGIOH channel on. That man's been a blessing to the scene for the longest.
Feedback: have 2-3 topics to discus just in case per episode, extend them whatever the topic needs in 50-70 minutes, if the one topic consume all the time, that's fine, if all the topics prepared for the episode consume less that 50 minutes, its fine to end the episode early, if a topic gives more of 70 minutes to talk, its fine to have a part 2 of that topic.
And most important have fun discussing topics, if a topic it's fun for no one of the participants, just skip it.
And funny enough, Paul did test out the starter deck with 2 new players & little to no guidance. Turns out the product is not very good
Don’t mind the format. But maybe a few twitter poles, questions from viewers you guys can answer, and one of you guys taking a bit of a devils advocate would be more interesting between you’re dynamic together instead just adding to each others opinion. You guys get along well but I’d like you to pick each others brains would be great. Also having something to argue about would be good so it’s not just a overlook on product and formats
Most people in OCG have been playing since childhood. I don’t think they can accept the Tcg rarity system.
OCG players are okay with decks having time limits via the ban list, cause most decks can be build for $50-$100 so it’s not a big loss when they destroy your deck on the list.
Nah, while it's true that the OCG is relatively affordable, the same thing can also be apply to other card games in Japan so if OCG Timmy's favourite decks get butcher as frequently as in the TCG then he will just go to other games instead, it's not like the "MR4 almost killed the game in Japan so Konami OCG have to make the Link Vrains packs and treat their playerbase well" theory existed for no reason.
YALL GOTTA HAVE GAGE ON THIS BIH HE IS THE GOAT
Joel
Please every week just have 1 viewer call in from each of your guys twitch subs. Shit would be so much content. And I gotta know whats the next yugioh gameplay development after the third pend scale.
17:20
The ocg gets more products, better accessories, a larger presence in card shops and better quality products including better quality cards. I really struggle to believe it is less profitable than the tcg.
I think having more in depth discussions would be the way to go forward. And I think people would like longer episodes (a lot of big podcasts usually last somewhere between 1.5 to 2.5 hours per episodes Which I also personally like for episode length), so you might not even have to cut down on the amount of topics in per episode. Love the discussions and I hope to see many more episodes :)
Also I think using the window in the middle for something like a picture that gives a visual representation of what is being discussed is probably better than having chat up spamming pepela and kekw
30:30 the answer to this not as easy as it seems. I am sure this has something to do with japanese gamble laws, which are pretty strict and could play a part in it. Secondly the targeted audience is and will always be kids for ygo. They are not paying 60 bucks for 1 card.
Mystic Mindset >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I feel like 20$ is too expensive for the two player starter, that will turn off a lot of players.
Sets like this should be designed with losing money in mind, and making up for it by introducing new players to the game (similar to how video game consoles are sold at a loss)
Mystic mindset is a better name
Fix mic please Farfa. Otherwise good show :)
well let the heart of stone guy , the streamer who had a meltdown playing master duel. let him try that product!
edit 1: yeah i wish there was a gentlemans agreement to not play meta at locals
edit 2: the even bigger question is, even if they changed the text of cards, how would they solve that for all the 10k+ released cards to the people. well it is better to start now than never, but i would hate to buy all my cards again.
