One copy of Alucard in the extra? Clearly a ghostrick deck
The Ghostrick community is fuming right now.
@@TheJeSTeR7530 ghostrick deck with only 1 ghostrick? Seems about right to me though
Happy MBT noises
No. That isn't a Ghostrick deck. One Extra Deck monster is not enough to be a Ghostrick deck. How dare you insult the mighty Ghostrick archetype!
Now, two Alucard on the other hand...
@@quintonclothier6171 🤔
Cimo talked about it being debatable whether destroying the trap (Seven Tools) or spinning it back to deck (Wiretap) was better but the actual reason Wiretap was played came up in this match and wasn't talked about. Yes, HAT was a heavy backrow format so negating traps was very relevant but Wiretap was good for stopping Artifact Sanctum exactly. Sanctum pops a card on the field if destroyed by the opponent. Wiretap bypasses this by spinning, Seven Tools will destroy Sanctum activating its pop effect.
Neat!
Thats an interesting fact
It also prevented breakthrough skill's GY effect
I’m just glad our man Alex Cimo is staying alive and drinking his coffee while pumping these endless videos four times a week
Wish he would do regular content also
@@mattyorshin He's got a formula that is working well for now. They are all in the swing of it at this point, so I assume there are ideas being formulated in the background. I'm just happy the dude is getting sponsors, I skip em anyway and he gets some cash lol
HAT Format where is hard leg joe? dada dadun!
@@sirloin1221 I used to watch for his meta break downs of ycs and reigonals. It was informative, it was also how I got into competitive play and got my first tops, but I enjoy these weekly videos, fun to get away from the meta lol.
I still wanna know about that thing he teased months ago, I wanna say before auction series died (rip). Maybe plans fell through
We're almost at Duelist Alliance. From here on out, decks are pretty much going to be pure archetypes with maybe a few exceptions such as Dinosaurs. HAT was the intermediatory between these two deck building philosphies. You have cards which synergise with eachother based on mechanics & interactions rather than just all sharing part of their name with eachother.
It's been a contentious issue for Yugioh, as a game and there is no easy answer.
If it weren't for Scythe, I kinda liked the pile formats or the PUNK decks that had a bunch of engines working together.
Duelist Alliance is not the progenitor of these woes, especially given how good Shaddolls were for unique deckbuilding.
I’d say dragon link halqdon, dark warrior, and Invoked dogmatika shaddol as well as stuff le synchron eldlich are modern decks with similar philosphies.
Hmmmm... I tend to be a bit of a Yugiboomer sometimes, but even I'd have to say mixing archetypes still happens quite a bit... Prank-Kids with Adamancipators, Shaddolls with Aleister, Swordsoul with Tenyi, Dragonlink was a mix of a few dragonarchetypes, and even Eldlich will often mix in Balerdroch and other zombies.
Part of that is more recent though. I think your statement still holds true for the Pendulum era for sure. But they did try and fix it with some succes. I could also talk about the splashengines like DPE and Adventurer, but I guess you could say that's more akin to running staples..
And non floodgate traps matter less and less...
17:35 Sanctum doesn't trigger here since Alucard says "Target 1 set card; destroy that target" meaning that if the targeted card is chained, Alucard loses its target and the card is not destroyed
The card has already been targeted, and remains the same card??? If that's true that's a dumb ruling.
@@rrteppo The point is that Alucard specifically destroys set cards, it can no longer effect a card that isn't set. A similar ruling happens with Atlantean Marksmen.
There is no youtuber better than Cimoooooooo when it comes to ad reads. Always a treat to hear them since they are so well produced with or without the skits as past ones have had.
Agreed. They fall into two categories, and both are great. You have the serious glimpses into his personal life, like this, which help to provide the audience with connections to the endorser and the product. And then you have the more, shall we say, off the rails, ads, which are incredibly comedic in a self referential manner. Cimoooooooo is incredibly smart at this, and I do hope his intelligence pays off.
Man this was a fun format. I remember playing what was known as the "hands of justice" for the next few formats. You took a Hero Beat core (without stratos T-T), added in the hands, then added captain gold, skyscraper, and skill drain for a little city style skill drain beatdown strategy. Maybe I'll send the list in for history of jank.
I love the thought of MBT raging at this
Do it. Send it to them.
Do that....I like the sound of hands of justice
This is when I started playing yugioh in Highschool, and playing the actual format with friends now, and it's one of the best formats I've played in.
Yeah same this is also the format where i start playing yugioh competitively so it always hold special place in my heart.
Geargia is tough to beat when you're playing H.A.T. so I like to play aggressively against them by summoning Moralltach even if it has nothing to destroy and trying to attack their Geargiarmor
Totally with you in that play
How tf did you post this 1 day ago?
@@ethannolastname patreon
@bing chilling yeah hat format is the peak "back and forth" meta in my opinion. And after hat (which is shadoll iirc) is where yugioh start become very combo based game
Although I never experience HAT, but after this epsiode, I think this is what the "ideal" Yugioh is like. This is not wombo combo game decided by turn 2 like modern Yugioh, this is also not slow as molases with occasional power spell sacking like really old school Yugioh. You can still do wombo combo if you can, the game is decently fast but still long withs lots of resources trading. This is a format where Maxx C is only pretty good but not back breakingly broken like it's currently now.
You say that in a best of three where two games were decided by wiretap and one was decided by a sanctum resolving
Their comment about having more Life points for the games making the games feel better is a solid reason I'd love to see a format where you do naturally start with more then 8k.
I am so glad to see HAT Format getting love, it's always been my favorite because it was the first well regarded format that I was playing seriously to experience. Maybe Edison and Goat format might be more famous, but I'll always have a place in my heart for HAT
1:36 MBT's Deck: HAT (Hand - Artifact - Traptrix) 6:26 Cimooo's deck: Geargia
12:00 Game 1
21:01 Game 2
26:26 Game 3
12:59 "Imagine paying someone on Patreon to just say that to your friend" Sounds like something Kaiba would pull against Joey.
I want 10 episodes of this format
History of Yu-Gi-Oh! episode wins
Cimoooooooo: 49
MBT: 47
I feel MBT gets stuck with worse decks 80% of the time I wish someone tracked that lol itsa great series tho
@@NYGJMAP well, he himself wants to play these decks.
This is my favorite format, it's when I truly got into competitive ygo and started attending to locals regularly.
The rogue decks are so close in powerlevel to the meta decks so even in those matchups the games were super skill-intensive.
By the way, high hat is decently popular nowadays, I absolutely recommend people trying it out, it's a format that rewards good habits so it's pretty good to teach new players and getting meta decks for it is around 30~50 bucks, so it's also really fun to just carry some around and play with friends.
I hope this show people that HAT is a format worthy of praise like Edison and Goat, as much as I hate Goat, it has a big playerbase
Man i remember playing Shadoll Hand Artifact Qliport back in the day as a joke because of the acronym.
Did it work
History of Jank brrr
@@LordBeau kind of. People did experiment with Shaddoll later down the line with the Hand and Traptrix engines, sometimes throwing a little Artifact in there. but the qliport bit was purely just so you can say "I played SHAQ"
Sounds fun, but doesnt Qlis lock you into Qlis? I guess yo can set El Shaddoll Fusion and Artifacts but still.
@@lilsunny7399 ima play SHAT in that format
I just love how Cimo summoned a Lv 4 Xyz and then practially used the same materials to summon a Lv 3 Xyz without realizing it.
I’m sure he realizes it as the trap card he uses king of requires that interaction
Read the cards my dude
reading is hard
It was legal the trap used to summon them increased their level by 1
I was shocked to not see Rafflesia in that HAT decklist since it's such a powerful defensive tool, and I was positive it was released not long after the first wave of Traptrix cards came out, so I doublechecked to see...and it wasn't until like 5 or 6 sets into Arc-V, long after HAT format had ended. I was *shook*.
Although I guess it makes sense. If that deck had access to Rafflesia at that time, I imagine it would be near unbeatable
Fun duel, I do think MBT's list was a missing some good cards in it but it was a historical list that topped so fairs fair. Looking forward to future episodes :)
Really hoping that we might be able to see Plant's list.
I wonder which deck you are looking forward to the most xD
@@pandaman1331 hmmm I wonder
This is my favourite format of all time. It was fast enough to not be boring, but slow enough to allow pretty much anything to be at least playable.
Fun fact- Primal Origin was the set wherein the last Hazy Flame card was printed, Hazy Flame Hydra.
Now we have sat and waited for support for 3,010 days. Konami does not care, as they sit on their pachinko throne and laugh at our woes.
Hazy Flame? The duel links archetype?
@@Hempujonsito you leave my beautiful babies alone
Hazy Flames are awful tho, there's not a single piece of support that they can get that would make them good aside from an entire archetype rework like Infernobles did to Noble Knights
@@aereon_gaming you must be real fun at parties.
@@SFUTH You're not saying I'm wrong tho
So excited for this episode HAT is my favourite format
This is peak Yugioh for me. Heavily looking forward to the upcoming episodes
Cimo always being a sacky one of incarnate is always hilarious, especially when he blind Alucard into the backrow in a format where doing said thing is more risk than reward.
Cimo actually puts effort in the ad reads, it's nice
Oh boy, what a cool card Artifact Scythe is! Surely it will soon become a relic of the past and die out within a couple of formats!
Ironically, Scythe took a really long time to catch on.
This format is so fun, I miss trap cards.
Me at 5:35: Soul Charge, it's obvious. MBT: Wiretap, ahh right...that was a thing for sanctum
honestly during it's time scythe was just the thing you can summon of sanctum that beats over moraltach. everything scythe could stop moraltach could simply pop instead permanently removing the threat from being summon in the future and more
I played using ygopro during this time and when I saw scythe in the list I was like wait what scythe was that early in support.
Temtempo! I loved that card.
I honestly think mst is good in this matchup. Artifacts only ss themselves on the opponent's turn, so if you know something isn't sanctum,(either through ignition or if they didn't flip it at a time when sanctum was good) you can mst during the opponent's turn and you're safe. Hitting ignition kinda sucks but losing one bp isn't the end.
Also, I hope we get to see breakthrough skill shine against artifacts. That graveyard effect is still a trap card's effect so you can chain it to the artifacts.
My favorite format of yugioh. Very back and forth. Plus this was the format that got me into competitive yugioh. Really love playing geargia and hat. 3.5 axis is also fun. I did also like playing Infernity
Is it just me, or do the formats that center around control and grinding advantage (GOAT, Reaper, Edison) tend to be more popular than big sudden RKO-out-of-nowhere formats (DAD, Dragon Ruler, Pendulum...)?
RKO? What does that stand for?
More back and forth is involved so both players get to play rather games ending super quick.
Well, saying H.A.T doesn't have decks that can't explode on the spot simply isn't true. While they usually need one turn to set up, there are decks that can easily OTK on your next turn like Geargia Karakuri, Lightsworn Rulers and even Sylvans and Constellar Artifacts can otk with a good hand. And let's not forget XYT Infernity which won't let you play the game. The great thing is about HAT format isn't that it's slow (an argument that doesn't make sense to me) but that it's so diverse. And I don't just mean diverse in deck choices but also playingstyles. You had helmet decks like Bujin, "break my board decks" like Infernity, grindy control decks like HAT or Constellar and explosive combo decks like Geargia Karakuri and Lightsworn Rulers. There were decks for wichever playing style you prefered without being in a huge disadvatage against other decks.
PS: Edison and Reaper format had their share of OTK decks too.
@@sulemanzakriya It's a wrestling meme. The WWE wrestler Randy Orton (whom I have no idea if he's still around anymore) has / had this jumping neckbreaker as his finisher called the RKO (Randy Knock Out presumably; it used to be called the Diamond Cutter when Diamond Dallas Page did it) and because it was so quick to hit, had a variety of creative entrances, closed out many matches, and for a while lacked the finisher signaling that other wrestlers gave their own finishers, the meme was that it was _really_ called the "RKO Out of Nowhere", largely riffing on the lack of creativity of the announcers who would often call it that exactly whenever Randy hit it.
Think the TV wrestling equivalent of an OTK.
I was confused about the level threes making a rank 4 but then I read cards. I FEEL MY BRAIN GROWING
PLEASE GOD play Tin Gadget! Tin Goldfish and Kagetokage along with their respective searchers of Gear Gigant X and King of the Feral Imps made such a great resource loop for a powerful rank 4 toolbox spam deck. It was so fun.
Devastated to discover that HAT format was not referring to a triumphant return for Magical Hats.
Ah HAT format, the memories!!!
I was a budget player and remember running a six sam deck since the format got slow enough I remember been buying a Fire Fist deck for a while, and I took my bears and tenkis add them to my six sams and got a good top for a regional, the deck that was my favorite pray was that exact geargia list. Bear was just too good for armor
At 19:20 MBT actually can't attack the set monster since Alucard does indeed have an effect
Why cimo's mouse pointer get so HUGE at 30:06 im so perplexed by this
Underrated format! Still one of my personal favorite and most proud regional top 8 just because of the intense games I had piloting sylvan against HAT
I wonder what they'll play when History gets to Master Duel era.
Probably banquet of millions vs prankids with the meow mu glitch
All I remember seeing over and over during the first weeks was Eldlich and Tri-Brigade/Dogmatika lol
We need and aditional episode of Modern HAT.,
This series has been so interesting to watch through; I entirely stopped playing around the time the Dragon Rulers came out. My college roommates and I had just got back into the game our Sophomore years, came back for Year 3 and Draccosack was a "3-of" at ~$200 each. I would occasionally buy singles for MerLantean support as it came out, but college got wild busy and I had almost entirely forgotten the game existed before Pendulums were even introduced. I met up with one of my roommates a few years ago, played MerLantean against Silvan and that seemed like a fun match, but then he asked me which Links I was using and I literally didn't know what he was talking about. So... I guess I dropped out around Master Rule 2/3? Whatever the case, it's nice to see cards which don't need magnifying glasses to read
So close to Duelist Aliance format one of the best formats ever.
Hat is the first format i played in...
I love it so much
I find it funny that during HAT format, the Yu-Gi-Oh community collectively decided to stop playing the explosive combo decks of the previous formats in favor of a slow as molasses control deck.
There’s something kind of funny about seeing artifacts scythe not being just an instant game over like it was a few years ago
Yo that coffee ☕️ actually looks 🔥 might have to try it out. Thanks Cimooooooo
My favorite format where I could actually play Koa'Ki Meirus, wiretap was such an awesome card this format
*Play the 5th place Oceanic LIGHTSWORN list that played 0 Soul Charge,* 0 Necro Gardna, 0 Max C, 0 Card Trooper, and 2 Minerva, Leo, and almost 1 of each LIGHTSWORN.
I remember this format with H.A.T. being a cope version of the ocg's chronomaly artifact never coming because we didnt get nebra disk. Not saying H.A.T. was a bad deck but it could have been worse here
Cimo’s ads really are the best
I loved artifacts, was one of my decks after I'd played in the format a bit. Very expensive if I recall. I sometimes went pure artifacts just to break it up a bit as it was hilarious on the rare occation my opponent ran into a Malevolent Catastrophe :D
Evols clap hat because of the trap from this set to summon solda
Cimo calling MBT a cheater for having Scythe main when MBT was playing a list with no wiretap is too ironic. Made me laugh.
Yeah MBT's list was so weird I don't remember seeing scythe at that point. I questioned if it was even out then 😂
When this set came out, one of my friends was very excited about it, due to Diamond Core of Koa'ki Meiru being in it. After it's release he showed up with a deck consisting of a small Koa'ki Meiru engine, a small Fire Fist engine and a small Traptrix engine. The rest were some generic good card available at this time.
I asked him for decklist later and gave it a try myself. It was a lot of fun to play and eventually ended up being my favorite deck to play during this format.
Tito?
Maybe I'm being dumb, but how do you use 2 level 3s to make a rank 4?
I had to make sure th little guys didn’t have level modulation. Sure enough they don’t. For real there’s no reading involved here, just very simple math.
geargiagear increases their levels by 1
@@glennpert Geargiagear has text on it
Geargiagear modulates their levels by +1, so they're level 4s
I'm dumb, got it
XD
HAT was the first format I had Monarchs built IRL because of their newer support a couple sets prior. The back and forth with Hat was actually crazy even for a rogue deck like monarchs. From here up to the release of the monarch structure deck was the best string of formats in the game's history to me. Granted i'm biased as a monarch player. I miss being able to play my favorite deck and top locals and get invites without feeling forced into playing Meta. Here's to hoping monarchs get more support in the near future so I can stop "blos pass" making my favorite deck useless in the modern game.
To this day I'm still a fan of 101
27:55
"SHCHSHCHCIMO DONT OPEN WIRETAP CHALLENGE IMPOSSIBLE!"
I love how tempo changes so fast
Shame that we did not get a huge crash chain of hands into a big field of monsters
Lets give 2 big hands to the new format, I really tip me HAT to it
14:56
Am I missing something here? Is Cimo using a level 3 and level 4 to XYZ summon a rank 4?
Concerning how far I had to scroll for this comment
Edit: reading cards lol
@@DryFieri Geargiagear adds +1 level to what it summons, they were level 4s
@@SuperGallzy wow I could swear one of them was a lvl 4. Thanks, man.
you're missing your ability to read the cardboard
Hands of Justice was my most favorite HERO deck for HAT format.
At least he didn't tell Jake " boi you know u got no sauce"
Flashbacks man... I wish I could go back in time
h.a.t was the golden era of yugioh .... So many midrage decks and so much fun
When it goes to history of jank, can we have you play your old old old hat deck for the Frick of it?
During this time I was playing Battlin' Boxers and it was the deck I ended up taking to Nats, but at either a local or regional level ruling I was told even if you used a destrution prevention effect (ie Lead Yoke, N101 or R4 Djinn) on a Fire Hand effect it still summoned Ice. I played it like that in testing until the day for Nats main event when I was told the real way. Who knows how many games I lost to this one bad ruling. ( Probably not many as I didn't do as much testing as I should have.) Hope to see Boxers in history of Jank. I know a few people tooks some Regional Top 8s with the deck.
These cimo ads are ridicules like this man haas some of the smoothest transitions on the internet, this shit is far to impressive.
these Cimooo ads are fire af
I still remember the argument for not running Upstart was exactly that it'd make games drag out and allow your opponent to swing the game with a powerful draw, so it was only encouraged in control strategies. I guess it also speaks to the lower power level of monsters back then, that even with 3 Upstarts you couldn't just inmediately seal the game.
So excited for them to get to Duelist Alliance. Thats when i started playing the game
Damn, Cimo. Almost used your link for Coffee to get my mom to try some "real" espresso because she doesn't bother to make coffee herself. Unfortunately, there was a better referral deal elsewhere for $5 more off my first order.
Man I can’t wait for y’all to cover trick or treat from June 2014 format
Cimo5 got the competitor, he is called Cimo40.
Oh boy, I can't wait for the Sylvan episode! I loved that deck and was one of the first competitive decks I had when it was relevant. The next would come in DUEA and NECH with 'Tellars and Burning Abyss.
I just have nightmares about sylvan's after how broken they were in duel links 😂
After this format i quit. I was still playing but Master Rule 3 killed a lot of love i had for the game and the last product i bought for 8 years was the 2022 tins.
I really hope we see koaki meiru from Jeff Jones in 2014 too
When there is one time an ad of a product youre interested in, they only ship to the US. Meeh
I remember making Evigishki Merrowgeist a staple in this format for hands. Dweller is great but you have to activate it preemptively, versus Merrowgeist which you can choose to activate after seeing what the monster is
geargiagear was at 1 by May 2014. I know this because Shin en Huang only used 1 in his decklist at the world championship
It got hit to 1 in July
U rite. My bad, your fault
1. We need a history of Tier 0. Can you do a video covering the tier 0 formats? ex. Tele-dad vs Zoodiac
2. Can you do a game of modern Yu-Gi-Oh with everything at 3? I don't think some cards are as busted as people think!
If they took it seriously, a game with everything at 3 would just devolve into contest of who can pull off their FTK faster.
@@shipu302 Who said they’d have to take it seriously?! When have they ever taken anything, on screen, seriously?!
Some of those names shouted out at the end were crazy af
Minus warning compluse always stuck out to me as insanely powerful and insanely versatile especially for certain niche situations
Compulse is superior to Bottomles in most situation. You can compulse everything regardless of the attack stat and even if it's already on the field. But it also has the niche benefit of bouncing your own monster.
HATs off to Cimoo for his victory, you'll get him eventually MBT
Right pre limit geargia gear
We final found a rival to cimo5 with cimo40
“Might see wire tap getting wire tap’d” maybe if it was in both decks yeah 😬
We were in Fire Water format for so long, when are we getting the Dragon Ruler deck again (with the xyz that sends for cost)?
Surprised that Malevalent Catastrope isn't in an Artifact deck
I love how the first major play of the duel is Cimoo xyz summoning a Rank 4 with 2 level 3s
geargiagear makes em both level 4s
@@WedgeCuts Oh thanks, I missed that part
It definitely is one of the formats of all time
With some of the cards in the game.
Personally I always found HAT to be pretty overhyped, its a mash of three engines that are good but don't really have any actual synergy with one another and often clash in really annoying ways. It's certainly good but it lacks the cohesion other decks in the format have.
Also glad MBT spotted that Pot of Dichotomy was cope, card is SO ass.
Im sooo hyped for more vids of this format..
HAT format hell yeah
Did Cimo just successfully sell me coffee
