Completely agree. I know we joke about it being lazy, easy content, but honestly I just enjoy hearing random yugioh trivia and learning about new cards. I love this series
Playing against Salad, they activate Circle, I chain Ash, they chain Crossout and I chain Engraver of the Mark calling Gazelle. Even though I dropped the card after 1 locals tour, I'll never forget that ragequit.
The ironic part is that crossout doesn’t even make sense in salad, it’s better for them to just run more hand traps or even just turbo out bagooska. Hell, they’d get more value main decking rivalry than playing crossout
Thing about Yugioh is that the meta is so volatile you can never be truly sure what's good unless you have prior knowledge. Something can go from meta altering to garbage overnight and vice versa
I mentioned this in the Twitter thread, but even when Lunalight won YCS Chicago the one holo Lunalight card that was actually played (the trap) was never bought out.
I really like playing Lunalights but I had no idea a version of it without the fusions existed, they are like half the fun of it to me, also do you mean Lunalight Reincarnation Dance or Lunalight Serenade Dance?
@@LilyApus Serenade Dance was played for it's GY effect. For that and Perfume, Foolish Burial Goods is also played. They can also be discarded by Danger! monsters. I actually prefer the rank 4 spam version. Kind of a shame Lunalight's are stuck with only fusions for their extra deck, but Tiger King is basically an honourary Lunalight lol.
@@Skasaha_ Lunalight Link, XYZ or even a Synchro would be kind of neat, but I think support for them is a pipedream at this point, I'll admit the fusion conditions are mildly annoying if your hand is bad that is probably my only complaint with playing the fusion version of the deck.
All jokes aside, this series really teaches a lot about yugioh both inside and outside the game. This is one of the few series that could watch the sun explode and still be interesting.
The fact that snake rain exists kind of ensures that konami wont print a good reptile archetype because snake rain would just become uber broken if they did. Gonna have to wait until konami forgets that snake rain exists.
Honorable mention to Mist Valley Thunderbird. Before duel overload came out, there were combos surfacing involving Simorgh, Bird of Sovereignty, Union Carrier, Mist Valley Thunderbird, and Mist Valley apex avian. In theory, this provided INFINITE NEGATES as long as nobody ran over Thunderbird after it summoned itself. Card went from .25 to $5 for the Hidden Arsenal copy and $7 for the Duel Terminal copy. On release of Duel Overload, this combo NEVER saw real play because 1) COVID-19 was in full force 2) no in person play was allowed with remote duels not really set up yet and 3) it was pretty easy to out. Source: I bought 76 copies of Mist Valley Thunderbird, didn't get to sell them, then sold them to a shop before they tanked. Great learning experience because I would get cards from sellers that were NOT the correct printing or condition. Seriously, it's not near mint if there is pen ink on it.
The funniest thing about the hex-sealed buyout is that goddess with the third eye does literally the same thing. And people just... didn't talk about her, at all?
Actually the hex-sealed is better because it had a kinda-contact fusion effect for a fusion of the same Attribute, so SS Cydra, NS Hex-sealed and tribute into Twin Cydra… goddess doesn’t do that.
Zany Zebra haunts me because I have one, and every time I look through my cards I always find him. I never know how, why or when, but I know he's gonna be there, even though I don't use pendulums
Funnily enough the lunalight situation happened two days ago when thunder dragon topped Minneapolis and Titan got bought out just for the deck not to play it at all
I only got into yugioh very recently a month after master duel came out. So I really like hearing people talk about cards in this game. It's some cool lore tbh and these videos are pretty entertaining too (I'm one of the 3 people who watched every single second of cimo explaining every card in prog apparently)
When Konami announced official support for legacy formats (Time Wizard), TONS of old staples and key cards in former meta decks got bought out. Unfortunately the Time Wizard tournaments weren’t as widespread as people hoped for (at least not from what I’ve seen)
That's why I'm in favor of a deck that has the mechanics of gaining life points and spending life points to activate the effects (in case, to be fair, it would have the same formula as the ancient leaf that needs a certain life limit to activate the effect)
Btw i thought about a gimmick in master duel , buying cards that are sold for gems i think it could be cool( what i mean is that everyone can put a card in the market and sell it for gems
I actually sort of did this once but it was for an in-joke and not directly regarding any level of competitive impact. I had bought out like 15 copies of the continuous spell “worm call”, for $0.25 each. Yeah, they aren’t coming back into the limelight anytime soon.
Probably one of my favourite MBT series. Just MBT sharing his years of game knowledge by picking out these niche conversation starters is always refreshing and entertaining
I'll never forget selling Pot of Duality for $100, when the card was worth $160 in 2010, RIGHT before the tins came out that reprinted it. I know they did not get their money's worth for it haha
I just did that a few months ago with the MtG card Mindbreak Trap. The reprint was announced _2 days_ after I sold mine at ~$75-80, and it lost about a third of its value overnight.
The sad part is players on a budget have to wait for reprints for many expensive cards that are only expensive because scalpers bought them out. the Albaz Strike SD was sold out literally everywhere but amazon when i looked into buying 3 of them. Also I was a victim of Chimera. £50 value at peak, girl sold me it for £30 due to slight wear...about a month later MGED comes out.
I went to my local store to buy the albaz struture on release day but it was closed due to a public holiday, so I bought it on an online retailer and the cheapest I could find was already a 30% markup of rrp. On the day it released.
I really hate price fixers and speculators. They ruin every single thing they touch. You shouldn't be able to make a living off of artificially inflating the prices of things.
@@destrudo2601 At least konami owns the rights to the cardboard. The people who buy out these cards to hopefully make a profit just create a scarcity where there really shouldn't be of a product they don't own any rights to just to make some money off an unlucky schmuck who thinks the price spike means it'll be good.
Predaplants are actually a Pretty good deck and has a strong match up against other fusion decks. It saw success in the ocg and has shown to be a contender. BUT people not only overhyped the hell out of the deck, which was never going to be the best deck in the format much less the room, just a really good OPTION, they bought of predapractice just for it to get a leaked reprint.
I remember adding the neos fusion package into my Zombie deck in 2019 prior to the release of Verte and my entire locals being incredibly confused by it.
I remember when people bought out Ground Collapse due to the announcement of Links (MR4). People thought you would be able to select both extra monster zones
@@goodguyshuckle9270 honestly I think what they need is a way to dump Aleritt and Kurse into the grave when you do the standard open combo. Then it's easy to get Aron out with the searched Water Lily, since by default you have 4 in grave. Either a link 2 or a "dark synchro monster" would do the job.
The problem with Ogdoadics is that they have a very specific naming scheme/reference, and they already blew up all the possible monster names in the first wave, so there's no hope for better combo piece monsters.
2:44 this question makes me sad, I mean, there are many cards that should been reprinted years ago, still have some demand, and konami doesnt seems to care. The karakuri merchant and that gaia fusion are some of the first examples that come into my mind, but we had even competitive viable cards like jurrac aeolo (once was), or to pick a very fresh example: beautunaful princess and warrior of atlantis. this last one drive me crazy, since konami decided to reprint FUCKING FROSTOSAURUS instead. So when you ask "why you think konami wouldn't just reprint this in ots?" I can only say "no idea, lol, but they could never reprint it for no fucking reason"
The most infuriating thing is the Air Neos. It never has any reprint, and probably won't ever. Apparently Konami no longer has the right to the intellectual property of Air Neos. They even delete the Air Neos art from the new Neos support in POTE. I don't know whether they can get around the law by just making an alternate art for it, but this situation is so f*ck up and funny at the same time
I remember back in 2017 when some people were siding appointer of the red lotus and it hadn't had a reprint in many years so for a meh side option was way too overpriced.
Keep doing these please, I know the meme that is effortless and you get paid off your followers, but this kind of content is so educational. I started yugioh from master duel and knowing all of this historic cards is so fun
Oh man, I remember the Spell Chronicle buyout. People were trying to convince players that it was "sooo good in shaddolls." I also remember people doing something similar to "Owner's Seal" when Kaijus came out.
As someone who was bought back into Yugioh by MD, I really love these type of videos; they give me some insight into the history and mindset behind yugioh between me playing on the playground and playing today, and its presented in a funny way that is relatively low-effort for you. Win-win as far as i'm concerned
I hate speculators because they make the game more expensive,but without them we couldn't laugh of people that thought buying thousands of Ancient Leaf was a good idea
yugi tubers in the past hold experiments if they can affect the market and succeed hmmm makes me wonder if a champion of houses might do this on the regular....
I remember many moons ago, during Dragon Ruler format, that there was a rumor going around that Trishula was going to be unbanned. You know, before it got eratta'd. Well, everyone was buying out the card everywhere in order to flip it for a profit, or to have one for their deck. Guess what didn't happen and led to a bunch of salty players in my area.
Yeaa sadly ... The recent Predapractice buyout was so laughable. The deck never top. The one who top German nats didn't even play Predapractice. The reprint was also revealed not so long after. I hope that yugitubers and pro players get punished like this more often so they stop manipulating the market
I bought $30 worth of the Simorg field spell when Fluwandereeze was spoiled bc I thought it was a decent consistency booster. That was like 140 copies. I never bothered to sell any, it was trash tech that no one played.
Super gimmicky deck idea: mix artifacts and battle traps. If your opponent pops your back row, they could hit an artifact. If they don't, they could attack into mirror forces.
Funniest thing is this stuff probably happens in the actual stock market aswell. Some finance guys just can't be bothered to think further than the stock graph
I remember a while ago (I think it was around the ravine ruler format so like 2013ish) Yugioh Memes on FB wanted to stage a buyout on a random common card they had a small poll. Poki Draco happened to be on it. I collect Poki and have at this point maybe over like 300 copies. At the time i have like 100 maybe. Well i stated this fact and sure enough over the next few days it went from about a 5 cent card to a $10 one. I will never forget that for as long as i live.
I really hate the buyout market. In my opinion they make the game just as inaccessible as Konami’s greed. Every single time anything has potential and can be relatively hard to get is bought out for STONKS reasons. I wish they would just buy out the higher rarity versions of cards that already have printings and have lower rarity versions (ex. Go ahead and make Secret Rare Toad $100 if you want but why Gold Rare bulk Toad).
To be fair I bought a hell of a lot of Maximum Gold and only got two copies. TA was pretty clearly short printed in it. It's one of only a handful of cards in the set that I still don't have 4+ copies of because I never find them in stock anywhere. I even pulled more copies of Apollousa than TA which was also incredibly rare to see. Print rarity and power level is generally more important than the designated rarity. That's why, say, a lot of the cards - even secrets - in BROL are pretty cheap but ones like Souls' are not. It may have the same rarity but they're not actually the same rarity because Konami doesn't know how to use rarities correctly. If they wanted it (and the three others in its print rarity category) to be pretty rare they could have just made it starlight or stuck a couple ghosts or something in there if they wanted to and just saved the secret rare for LDS3. Or just make all secrets legitimately as possible meaning you would have seen a playset of everything secret in about 2 boxes but they had to be stupid about it instead causing Souls' to remain relatively expensive.
Yeah that happened several times around then because people assumed the rare proxies on the konami blog were secrets, I remember some of the lightrays being pre-sold for stupid amounts for that same reason.
Not a buyout but Mechanicalchaser was $300 for a playset when it came out because it was an ultra rare in a tournament pack and was the strongest level 4 beater at the time of its release by like 50 points
The problem with gambling with this kind of "an old & almost broken" card is that there's only 2 options: 1). Konami already noticed the existence of this card and so will never make an archetype or support cards that will be busted with this particular card. For example, they won't ever make an archetype that will be busted by banishing 5 spells from deck. 2). Or, if Konami had an oversight and make the card super broken, they'll ban that card immediately, since it's an old card so it won't matter for them (Konami doesn't gain anything from the secondary market). Like what happened to Phoenixian Amaryllis. Both of these options have happened a lot of time in the past, too many that you would be ignorant to still try to invest in these kind of things lol
Light hex-sealed fusion isn’t even the best way to make dragoon in despia if you’re playing dragoon you play dark magician since it can be banished with allure and also you don’t make dragoon going first.
I can't even imagine why Spell Chronicle was made prior to someone coming up with Witchcrafter. It has no use I can think of before at least the idea for Patronus.
Has anyone heard of a card called Sphere of Chaos? It’s a secret rare from Raging Battle that has only had one printing in the TCG. And it has spent over a decade in complete obscurity and worthlessness until it was featured in an Edison deck by E3 Yugioh’s channel, at which point the card was completely bought out on TCGPLAYER. There was a point where literally zero copies were available to sell. And any that did pop up went for anywhere between 50 and 90 dollars. The price has since dropped to between 15-30, as I think people realize it is extremely cope in the deck it was featured in, but it’s still a wild story.
So going back in time a little bit but during the dragon ruler and spellbook format a random deck called the Psychic earth bending deck top a YCS it didn't win frist but people went nuts over it. One card in that deck (for the life of me I can't remember the name of it) it was like banish two earth types to special summon it from the hand or something like that. Went from penny's to $40/$50 sold out everywhere and the deck died before people even got there copies in the mail.
As someone who's currently still trudging through Cimo's progression series, hearing that Fairy Box got bought out because of it got a real good laugh outta me
Jokes on you that psychic monster looks great in my windwitch deck. Snowbell in hand means your opponent skips their main and battle phase while I have crystal wing that can't be destroyed by battle chilling
This is a really nice series, I have no problem with this series being produced until the sun explodes

Funniest thing is this stuff probably happens in the actual stock market aswell. Some finance guys just can't be bothered to think further than the stock graph
I remember a while ago (I think it was around the ravine ruler format so like 2013ish) Yugioh Memes on FB wanted to stage a buyout on a random common card they had a small poll. Poki Draco happened to be on it. I collect Poki and have at this point maybe over like 300 copies. At the time i have like 100 maybe. Well i stated this fact and sure enough over the next few days it went from about a 5 cent card to a $10 one. I will never forget that for as long as i live.
Pulling the Spell Chronicles with Witchcrafters is so funny that, as the recent internet lingo would say: "that spell plussy is finna bussing"
mbt can you ban this man I need to rinse out my eyes for seeing the cthulu-esque phrase “spell plussy”
why have you wrought this upon this earth
I really hate the buyout market. In my opinion they make the game just as inaccessible as Konami’s greed. Every single time anything has potential and can be relatively hard to get is bought out for STONKS reasons. I wish they would just buy out the higher rarity versions of cards that already have printings and have lower rarity versions (ex. Go ahead and make Secret Rare Toad $100 if you want but why Gold Rare bulk Toad).
To be fair I bought a hell of a lot of Maximum Gold and only got two copies.
TA was pretty clearly short printed in it.
It's one of only a handful of cards in the set that I still don't have 4+ copies of because I never find them in stock anywhere.
I even pulled more copies of Apollousa than TA which was also incredibly rare to see.
Print rarity and power level is generally more important than the designated rarity.
That's why, say, a lot of the cards - even secrets - in BROL are pretty cheap but ones like Souls' are not.
It may have the same rarity but they're not actually the same rarity because Konami doesn't know how to use rarities correctly.
If they wanted it (and the three others in its print rarity category) to be pretty rare they could have just made it starlight or stuck a couple ghosts or something in there if they wanted to and just saved the secret rare for LDS3.
Or just make all secrets legitimately as possible meaning you would have seen a playset of everything secret in about 2 boxes but they had to be stupid about it instead causing Souls' to remain relatively expensive.
It's so funny going back to these old videos and hearing him say Splight
card buy out wrecks MTG ... constantly ... so these failures make me feel good.
That outtro had me rolling! 🤣🤣
I think I remember preorder prices for Inzektor Dragonfly being in the triple digits before rarities were revealed. F to any that prepurchased a rare.
Yeah that happened several times around then because people assumed the rare proxies on the konami blog were secrets, I remember some of the lightrays being pre-sold for stupid amounts for that same reason.
I can't believe we went through an entire video without talking about WAR ROCK MOUNTAIN
Not a buyout but Mechanicalchaser was $300 for a playset when it came out because it was an ultra rare in a tournament pack and was the strongest level 4 beater at the time of its release by like 50 points
I love that dire called that shit so well. Rare moment dire was a fuckin genius
Don’t stop the twitter videos they are my favorite
Playground "Wait! That's OP" cards that actually are not.
For me, Chimeratech Overdragon blew my mind.
Can’t wait for new witch craft support I do think that spell chronicle is pretty good card for deck still
The problem with gambling with this kind of "an old & almost broken" card is that there's only 2 options:
1). Konami already noticed the existence of this card and so will never make an archetype or support cards that will be busted with this particular card. For example, they won't ever make an archetype that will be busted by banishing 5 spells from deck.
2). Or, if Konami had an oversight and make the card super broken, they'll ban that card immediately, since it's an old card so it won't matter for them (Konami doesn't gain anything from the secondary market). Like what happened to Phoenixian Amaryllis.
Both of these options have happened a lot of time in the past, too many that you would be ignorant to still try to invest in these kind of things lol
Snake rain gets my vote for "card with the most wasted potential." XD
Light hex-sealed fusion isn’t even the best way to make dragoon in despia if you’re playing dragoon you play dark magician since it can be banished with allure and also you don’t make dragoon going first.
I can't even imagine why Spell Chronicle was made prior to someone coming up with Witchcrafter. It has no use I can think of before at least the idea for Patronus.
I don’t play infernity. But is it good in that?
@@ericmay560 Not at all. Infernoty doesn't really want any of its backrow banished, ESPECIALLY not Launcher
Spell Chronicle was an anime card. It was used by Yubel as a ticking timer to add super poly to Yubel's hand over the course of it's duel with Jaden.
This is the first time I have ever heard of a Yu Gi Oh rug pull
I was so happy offloading my copies of Snake Rain when they were hitting up to $20.
You forgot when pak got people to buy out witch’s strike and broken line.
Has anyone heard of a card called Sphere of Chaos? It’s a secret rare from Raging Battle that has only had one printing in the TCG. And it has spent over a decade in complete obscurity and worthlessness until it was featured in an Edison deck by E3 Yugioh’s channel, at which point the card was completely bought out on TCGPLAYER. There was a point where literally zero copies were available to sell. And any that did pop up went for anywhere between 50 and 90 dollars. The price has since dropped to between 15-30, as I think people realize it is extremely cope in the deck it was featured in, but it’s still a wild story.
Pak could top an event with krawlers and I’d wake up tomorrow and receptor would be a $100 dollar common
"We all have read at least 3 cards"
I mean, technically you're not wrong 😭
Appointer of the Red Lotus in zoodiac format.
I need three Diviner of the Herald, but don't want pay 30 bucks for each one.
I stan cat shark both because you can use Atlantean Heavy Infantry for material for a quick pop and cause he's cute as hell.
*fixes glasses* AcTually, the sun isn't big enough to explode, it will become a white dwarf. So I guess you'll do this forever
So going back in time a little bit but during the dragon ruler and spellbook format a random deck called the Psychic earth bending deck top a YCS it didn't win frist but people went nuts over it. One card in that deck (for the life of me I can't remember the name of it) it was like banish two earth types to special summon it from the hand or something like that. Went from penny's to $40/$50 sold out everywhere and the deck died before people even got there copies in the mail.
Lithosagym?
As someone who's currently still trudging through Cimo's progression series, hearing that Fairy Box got bought out because of it got a real good laugh outta me
Adamancipator researcher is goals :)
Jokes on you that psychic monster looks great in my windwitch deck. Snowbell in hand means your opponent skips their main and battle phase while I have crystal wing that can't be destroyed by battle chilling
i like Joseph talking about twitter threads they're calming
What is the full story behind Vylon Cube?
Topic for next time: what about cards names that don’t fitting their art and/or card text
What do u got in mind
@@eleonarcrimson858 nothing special just cool topic to talk about
Probably a good bunchof monsters with 'Dragon' in the name that either are not Dragons, or do not look like such
