Remember he also pulled 4 dogmatika cards and tactics in the last playoffs episode. I don't want to know how many tri-brigades he's going to get in the next episode XD

How? How? How did Dan let you get away with this? He is the most PG content creator and goes and get the most unPG yugituber to promote his game. I love it
It's kind of sad how many "new" TCGs default "MTG but different". The only one that broke from that, that I can remember and that's also really good is Android:Netrunner
@@heinokunzelmann8967 flesh and blood is definitely different. Netrunner is amazing. No "summon a bunch of guys" game will ever beat Doomtown imo, but we love in a society.
@@heinokunzelmann8967 I mean WotC made a game that wholesale copied most of the core mechanics of MtG, Called it Duel Masters and made it Anime AF, And in Japan it's been serious competition for Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon for years now, Despite the fact that MtG flopped in Japan. And while people outside of Japan don't tend to know, Duel Masters inspired a lot of modern TCGs, Most notably Weiss-Swartz and Digimon TCG.
Legit this looks really cool. its like a mix of magic and yugioh with a mixture of pokemon and greek myth for the art. I am in fucking love with that. Please make more content for this MBT, This was really cool!
@@Hurricane1990 Thats fair to say too, though becuase spirits stick on board and not haveing correct elements on an elestral matters it feels like poke energy
Amazing business decision from aDrive to get you guys on this, so informative of the gameplay, great exhibition and broke boy banter, what more could anyone need!
I did a bit of a broke boy today and got a digimon deck for a grand total of 3.50 euros, can't wait for it to be shipped and see how much fun I can have with so few money spent
This is some of the best tcg content on TH-cam you irl content I'd so much fun to watch the chemistry between you two is so good I'd love to see more content like this.
I quite like the enchantment system in this game. It's like energy in pokemon or lands in MTG but they don't clutter your hand/deck but it's not too exploitable by the equivalent of a yugioh combo deck because the number of spirits is equal to your life total
I would love to see more content from you guys about Elestrals. Especially once you guys get the rules clarified a bit more. Then the games may not feel so lopsided and quick ^_^
I would definitely like to see a change to the mana/resource system. It being tied directly to your life count seems counterintuitive especially towards the end of the game. You can’t preserve your life if you need to play cards to preserve your life. Maybe add a lifesteal mechanic? Both players once per turn can give lifesteal to an elsestral?
You're actually pretty decent with physical comedy. It's sad you can't use that on an average stream/video since it's usually just you sitting at your desk. Also, you both have awesome shirts here.
using life points as mana, but having to equip them like energy cards, is interesting. I'm just not sure if it's fun? Cuz MBT spent like 6 spirits to get his big bug on the field, then lost it to an Exiled Force. It seems like it's easy to just wall up and let your opponent kill themselves, then finish them off with cheap removal.
Yeah, it feels like they didn't have a solid idea as to what function each element of the game would perform. As a result it ends up making some of the same mistakes early 2000's TCGs made.
the game has some neat ideas but it seems insistent on not learning from things that caused past games to fail or that current running games have changed rules wise. games have tried the "your life is also your resource" thing and it tended to pretty universally suck from a gameplay perspective. and like theres a reason current yugioh field spells dont blow up your opponents...
@@gwenyurick9663 to be fair in Pokémon the field spells do blow up the opponents, But they're usually designed either like Chicken Game, beneficial to both, or like Catalyst Field or Umi, immediately gives you value and does nothing on your opponent's turn. The main problem is that they did not learn, Weiss-Swartz is the perfect example of learning from the past, They took failed games like Bakugan TCG and addressed the complaints in their own system.
It looks like the packs might not be getting randomized correctly There were multiple packs that contained like the same 3 spells in the same order as another pack
That wouldn't be unheard of, Was kinda surprised there was not more immediately obvious errors with the randomisation, But based on your observation they're likely randomised on the sheets and only on the sheets. Which is fine, but unprofessional. That being said all the holos being on the same side is unacceptable by today's standards, Every corner should have roughly the same odds.
The game looks cool and the art is amazing! Unfortunately, I have already decided to sell my soul to play BattleSpirits... Do a video of BattleSpirits when you get access to it! XD
Kinda wish there were more unique Spirit cards. I understand this is the first set, but having so many duplicates of a particular card gets weird when it's supposed to be a particular *creature* as opposed to a location or resource.
Plus most MtG sets have at least 3 art variants on their Basic Lands per set so that they don't all end up looking identical. This is less of an issue considering the Spirit Deck is auxilliary and not direct, but still *an* issue.
Boys? Broke Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Reference? Woke. Awesome vid, thanks for enticing me to spend even more of my company's embezzled money on cardboard crack! ~Altair
I appreciate the video here, but I would have enjoyed one where you cracked the starter decks and taught us how to play first before opening a box and building decks with it. I had zero clue what's going on here and I feel that hurt the enjoyment of the video for me
This looks incredibly fun but the only thing turning me away from it is that no one I know currently plays it and none of the locals around me supports it. If it get supported by local card shops or something I'd love to play this.

I wasn't sure if this was the same aDrive as in "Dan, aka aDrive", but seeing hin in the reply confirmed it! This is the crossover of all time
seeing mbt standing next to people always breaks the illusion i have in my head that he's a little hyperactive theatre kid because he's actually tall
an alternative option, Danny and dzeff are actual gnomes
met mbt irl and tall is an understatement man is like 6'3 he is the alpha chad
I don’t care what else happens anymore after Danny opening every holo 😂
That man has a gift for sure...
seeing danny pull 3 lands/field spells or whatever back to back gave me immediate flashbacks to kohdok opening beast wars
Remember he also pulled 4 dogmatika cards and tactics in the last playoffs episode. I don't want to know how many tri-brigades he's going to get in the next episode XD
I can imagine someone oppenibg something like the ultra special nimbug, saying "Man i already have like 7 of these" and ripping it in half because they don't know how valuable it is

Or to just pull a kaiba an limit supply
@@brutalnobody5240 he IS a business Man after all

How? How? How did Dan let you get away with this? He is the most PG content creator and goes and get the most unPG yugituber to promote his game. I love it
How long until Joseph asks which Elestral spirit has the most "pinchable waist"?
Nice to know that MBT says “Death death kill kill” when he breaks, glad I’m not the only one with that tick. 💀
People who use the internet a lot tend to exhibit the same quirks
I like how mbt compares the cards to yugioh cards for everybody to understand exactly what they do
This is quite the direction to take broke boy, very interesting
Dont forget to interact so MBT can get other sponsorships, cause Konami never will.
Is kind of funny Konami doesn't care about the people keeping their game alive.
@@Ragnarok540 unless your channel specifically does box breaking you aren't konami's friend.
With Danny opening all of the holos, MBT now knows how Doug feels during Master Roulette.
Are you planning on making a Twitter thread with more extended thoughts on the game in a few days similar to what you did with Marvel Snap?
oh, for sure
A good friend of mine was a part of making this game! It's really nice to see someone like MBT giving it airtime.
The spirits system is cool. Another tcg in the "summon a bunch of dudes and fight your opponent's dudes" pile. Interested to see where it ends up.

Its basically yugioh but your life points are your mana

"Let me show you a little trick I learned from Infernity players." Nothing MBT has ever said was more real than that statement.
"What if magic cards had pokemon's artworks?"
Nah this game is 95% yugioh, but everything costs at least 400 life points to play.
"..and used Yu-Gi-Oh mechanics?"
@@solobugg5087 "...and isn't Metazoo"

How much for shipping?
I appreciate you guys running it back to fully appreciate Nimbug
I can't believe they printed a card named after gage in a rarity that would cause gage to uncontrollably cream himself
I think long after I've stopped playing yugioh and don't have time to watch youtube anymore, I will still watch every upload MBT makes.
What a cool Video. You guys should make much more content like this, even though the production is a lot more time consuming.
As they say taste the food before disliking it.
Not sure if it's a good or bad thing that I'm constantly laughing because of the really good camera quality
This was pretty fun, I love the chemistry between you to doing these vids, can't wait to see more!
Hi Leviathan. Cant wait for the danny and mbt sitcom. Also this game looks pretty cool. Its always nice seeing yugitubers with physical cards
god looking back to see this video so much has changed x3
If Danny and joseph made their own new gaming channel I think I’d cream
That prototype Voltempest at 9:55 got me feeling some type of way. I'd pay top dollar for one of those beauties
This looks awesome!!! I love how colorful and intuitive this game appears to be. Instantly supported.
You can't fool me, that isn't Leviathan, that looks an awful lot like blåhaj
This is some of the best tcg content on TH-cam you irl content I'd so much fun to watch the chemistry between you two is so good I'd love to see more content like this.
Definitely looks like something to make taking a break from this format a bit less boring.
How much for just ONE of those Voltempest Prototypes!?!? 🤩
Best way to prepare for deck building is to give yourself an edge, like this knife I have. Killed me.
I quite like the enchantment system in this game. It's like energy in pokemon or lands in MTG but they don't clutter your hand/deck but it's not too exploitable by the equivalent of a yugioh combo deck because the number of spirits is equal to your life total
Hi leviathan. Also tbh this game definitely doesn't look bad
The game is tons of fun. It's a really interesting risk reward gameplay since life is resource
I would love to see more content from you guys about Elestrals. Especially once you guys get the rules clarified a bit more. Then the games may not feel so lopsided and quick ^_^
Your camera quality is a lot better in this one !
So what I learned in this video is that this is just explosive starts that dwindle to normal summon I lose from summoning my own guy
Hi Leviaphin! Nice to see Brokeback errr Broke Boy Yugioh back.
Since Joseph is willing to give Elestrals a chance (sponsored, obviously, but still) maybe there's a chance of a Grotto Beasts video when it launches?
I would unironically LOVE MBT Grotto Beast gaming... The closest to a Jerma crossover we'll ever get on this channel
You forgot to Synchro summon.
everytime danny and joeseph looks up, It looks like they are getting wisdom from a transcended voice of adrive. lol
This is like force of will and light seekers had a child
Surprising that Joseph hadn't called any of the bunglers he played with the -ussy additive.
I’m always thrown off at how tall MBT is, he just radiates short guy energy
Man I dont care if this is just an ad, any additional broke boy is fine by me
Joseph smacking that expensive card on the board
the art doesnt really do it for me but i respect the hustle
I would definitely like to see a change to the mana/resource system. It being tied directly to your life count seems counterintuitive especially towards the end of the game. You can’t preserve your life if you need to play cards to preserve your life. Maybe add a lifesteal mechanic? Both players once per turn can give lifesteal to an elsestral?
With that nimbug this series gonna go from broke boys to money mates
This was great! I'm so curious what would happen if you guys did something like magic now. Hope you guys had fun!
