I like that the title for this one just says "they" rather than “my patrons", implying that some sort of Illuminati-esque secret society forced you to play an outdated Pendulum deck
32:29 In case you weren't informed of this yet or anyone else is wondering, removing Apollousa from the field before her effect resolves does stop the negate because successfully negating a monster effect depends on her losing 800 ATK first (the effect says „and if you do“).
2:04 The second you said that, my mind instantly thought, "It's Entertainer, isn't it?" Dude is definitely the best and most dedicated Odd-Eyes player I have ever seen.
I think the greatest weakness of Odd-eyes is its Pendulum-Archetype-designed-before-master-rule-4-Itus so while it has protagonist support privileges, it's far from perfect. Odd-eyes is probably my single favorite archetype, just because I always loved the idea of using all the summoning mechanics. but due to its glaring weakness, while it is a pendulum deck that can combo, that doesn't in and of itself, solve all the problems. While D/D/D is a combo deck that can pendulum, if that makes any sense. I might have suggested using a larger supreme king package but then its conflicting combos with odd-eyes. At this point I'm just hoping for a new master rule to let Pendulums off the leash. it would give them back their grind game. I was very glad to see this attempt to climb though, so thanks for making it. I wish you better luck on the next climb.
I just grabbed my bag of cheese puffs to watch this. Thank you for not only giving me great content to watch, but also for inspiring me to work on my very first ladder climb!
Joe hitting us with the very well-put explanation of what separates older combo decks from monstrosities that are modern ones. And, also just a good deck-building theory analysis. I enjoyed listening to this midpoint talk a lot.
The unfortunate thing about "pure" odd eyes in my eyes is it's lack of starters before the pend summons. The deck has many ways to accelerate into making an almost unbreakable board, but it just lacks ways to get it going. This is why people use cards like darkwurm with shrine/foolish, as well as gate zero, specifically to have a way to start off without committing your normal summon. I personally like using those with curtain raiser just because if i draw any combination of curtain raiser/foolish/shrine and any other normal summon or extender in the deck, i can go into electrumite/beyond easily while still having the ability to go into other plays before i pend summon. There is no true 1 card combo, but with any of the cards I listed, you can do the electrumite astro play before pend summoning and can go into exceed or potentially SKSV and copy electrumite for more advantage. Other cards I really like in the deck are seer and butler at 3. Seer is great recursion that's searchable and can trigger arc pendulum's or astro's effects and butler is a decent starter and extender that can also trigger arc pendulum's or astro's effects. Arc pendulum and revolution are 3 ofs in the deck and you MUST have them at 3 because they're the heart and soul of the deck. Arc pendulum is good recursion, can be used as an extender, starter, has a good scale number and is a level 7 dark dragon. Revolution can search any pendulum dragon monster (which is why running darkwurm in the deck at 2 is good as well) and can be copied by SKSV, allowing you to wipe out your opponent's board and gy without committing much recourses and have a big dude on the field. IMO, monkeyboard, pend sorc and the kashitra package are fine to take out. Yes they are all great cards, but they don't bring as much as other cards do to the table. Almost all the performapals you play in the deck are odd eyes cards too, so they can all be searched via sky iris, joker or arc pendulum. Pend sorc is kind of a "win more" card in this deck because you don't rely on him to get pieces for you to start your plays or extend into them and he either ruins your scales, destroys another body, wastes arc pendulum's effect or multiple at the same time. Monkeyboard is unnecessary due to the same reasoning as pend sorc (most other cards search the deck for those cards already), isn't an odd eyes card, isn't a dark monster and is a scale 4 majority of the time, which is bad because you want to pend summon some level 4's or below sometimes. The Kashtira package would be better off being replaced with more pend cards or searchers (such as duelist alliance or spiral flame strike, or both) because being able to search the specific pieces you need actually matters a lot in this deck for example, arc pendulum is a card that can make the difference between winning or losing, or if you have it and the field spell in hand, searching for an odd eyes lv7 with the spells can make you not have to commit too much to making electrumite/beyond before pend summoning. I also see that you cut the 1 odd eyes pendulum dragon from the deck later. You should always be running at least 1. It isn't the best card, but it's a level 7 dark pendulum odd eyes card that's searchable from deck or can be summoned from deck, which is very relevant. Valet, gentrude and ladyange are difficult for me to decide on completely. I use them here and there, but out of all of them I'd say valet has come up the most, mainly because it's an odd eyes card, but also because it can manipulate it's level and sends a card, which fulfils seer's pendulum effect easily so i can pop it and trigger arc pendulum's effect. However other than that niche scenario, it doesn't do a whole lot else. Gentrude and ladyange are good in their own rights, but because neither have "odd eyes" in their names and only "performapal", it's much harder to have them see any use, especially with gentrude having the same scale number as arc pendulum. I also don't run ash blossom and imperm, just because I feel like the more gas you have, the better the deck will perform and bricking on hand traps (especially in a pend deck) is never ideal. As far as the extra deck goes, it's pretty much fine. It mainly comes down to player preference, but if it was me, I'd take out princess, amblowhale, elf and meteorburst for odd eyes rebellion, odd eyes rebellion overlord, odd eyes rebellion xyz dragon and a bagooska. You could also take out doomrider for something like selene iyw, but doomrider is a very very good card in this deck too. These are all just my personal insights and experiences with the deck, it all comes down to preference though and there isn't any "correct" way to play the deck in my eyes, which is what makes it fun for me to play. Pure odd eyes is a very slept on deck (especially in master duel) and I feel like people don't recognise that it's actually quite strong despite being unable to play many handtraps other decks would normally be able to play due to space issues.
If watching this 4 hour long ladder climb has taught me anything, it's that I'm fine with just staying in plat and under as just trying to go through diamond these days is just pure hell. Hopefully next month will be a lot better with the trappy bois.
Im really impressed how good your intros have become. Im a big fan of the new explaining part of the rank climb aswell. Love these videos, keep it up. ❤
Good for you man working to get in shape. Keep at it every day, clean up your diet and it will come. Youre such a wonderful genuine person and im glad youre taking care of yourself
Oh boy 4 hours of Joe- Oh....oh dear heavens he's playing a pendulum deck. Oh Joe you poor sweet angel. No wonder it's a 4 hour video, it takes an hour to play each game of a pendulum deck.
I feel personally that odd eyes with more of the SK stuff is probably the way to go, at least in MD with better maxx c routes and a more defined extra deck with otk options, also, your best bet for dealing with yubel is SK gate zero, with z-arc on the field you take no damage so yubel can't just face ram you.
I definitely like the visual explanation. I often skip this segment of the Ladder Climbs because I learn pretty quickly watching you play rather than you talk for minutes on end
It actually was in total about 24 hours iirc. Just cut down to 3 which is Amazing. Hardleg/Mr. Nova and someone else I watch do this kind of thing often and well it's pretty much seamless
Did he ever realize that all he needed to do was leave gate zero in pendulum zone while z-ark was out against yubel? That's pretty much auto win for him
SWING, OH SCALE OF MY SOUL! BY SETTING A LOW SCALE AND A HIGH SCALE, I CAN SUMMON EVERY MONSTER IN MY HAND WITH A LEVEL INBETWEEN! COME! MY SIGNATURE CARD, ODD-EYES PENDULUM DRAGON! also the whole reason why Odd-eyes synergizes with Z-Arc is because YUYA - original user of the Odd-eyes folks - Is, Infact, Z-arc himself. or at least a fragment of him, Arc-V shenanigans.
Ardwulf Also, always nice to see Pendulums. I always thought the mechanic was super neat, and it stinks how Konami’s archetype design has hyper focused on compactness and resilience to the point where the whole mechanic has been powercrept into the dirt.
Odd-Eye, Odd-Eyes. An "Anime" archetype with so many avenues and yet needs so much to get going. I am glad you attempted to revisit it Post the What A Deck days. I remember building Odd-Eyes specifically because of the WADs for it.
Ardwulf! i really like the unique counters for some of these ladder climbs, i think they're fun, deck specific statistics to track i also prefer the visual explanation of the combo against the bot than just the verbal one it's easier to follow and understand
Pendulum is my favourite mechanics to use in YGO . I really don't mind the text in pendulum section cause most of the cards , just easy to understand effect. But it always weak against handtraps especially maxx C, nibiru or meta decks like fire king or snake eyes. That's one of the major reasons why i hate to climb rank in ranked match eventhough more gems can be achieved in higher rank
I haven’t finished the video yet, but I'm looking forward to this Odd-Eyes ladder climb! I'm a big fan of Pendulums, and while I haven’t played Odd-Eyes myself (I usually prefer the related Pendulum Magicians), I do think it's a really cool deck. Also, the intro was pretty fun! Just leaving a comment because you said Odd-Eyes isn't as popular, so hopefully this helps the algorithm, at least a little. :)
Yeah, I remember the times I played this deck because I went from rookie to platinum with it when it was just platinum and then I did it to diamond with it but recently I’ve been playing supreme Kings more and I do play odd eyes with the dimension dragons so I was playing a anime deck for 2 years and getting into high ranks so I’ll say it is fun playing it when you can
Great episode, shame how it went but it was probably the best you could do with an Archetype (types) that just hasn’t had the support to truly bring it up to the modern level (it’s amazing how many cards that came out early in the Pendulum era are still some of the best in the deck) Good job Joe! Looking forward to this upcoming climb, and to see how masochist is going!
This deck really seemed that it would've benefited from being a part of a larger collection of Pendulums, rather then being limited to just Odd Eyes. I always enjoyed the esthetic of the next deck so I'll be looking forward to seeing what they can do.
UM HELLO JOE? EXCUSE ME??? THE SONG AT 3:04:44??? It's 5am and I'm grooving. So many things happening in this ladder climb that even when I'm not watching on my phone I had to get it out so many times to comment about just the most interesting and fun stuff happening in this video. This is new comment worthy and not just a reply moment. Like it's one thing to edit what happens when you sing the Nibiru song but it's a whole nother thing to do a song like this 3 hours in when people might not even be paying attention or skip it. Genuinely surprised me, keep up the good work
I clipped the song here on TH-cam but idk if that even works like twitch clips. Kinda wish I had an editing software to edit this part and just upload it myself
@@HardlegGaming still a good song and I'm assuming you used ai since you don't know how to actually make the song yourself. No harm in that and you clearly explained that you didn't write the whole thing yourself instead of lying and claiming credit for the whole thing. Wrote the lyrics tho so that's dope
I think I've wanted to see "full combo" from the start of these videos for a long while tbh lmao. It was easier during the start of the series since you played much less complicated decks, but it started to be a noticeable(albeit slight) downsides in the red dragon archfiend climb. Please do it like this from now on
I don't know how you stay motivated to do these. I've more or less had my desire to play crushed by the meta that has just refused to shift for months. Waiting for a big shake up to renew interest. It's hard to get interested in the new support that comes in when it's DoA compared to Fire.
You know after the last 5 ladder climb vids I thought the patreons wanted you to play at least somewhat competent decks, I guess this one proves me wrong.
if youtube has proven anything it's that people wanna see "funny" decks not good ones, between the constant and I do mean constant complaining about anything remotely competent and the difference in views between good decks and haha funny combos it's pretty clear which people prefer
@@Zarc-wi4wy Don’t get me wrong, I love absolutely awful decks, I play them all the time. I just thought the ladder climb was for “good decks” now. (Also side note I don’t play Abyss Actors, Sylvio is just one of my favorite characters)
The Yubel/Numeron Deck Opening With Dark Hole Was Probably Just Forcing Out The Z-ARC Summon Because If Allowed To Be Used As An Interruption, It Shuts Down Both The Crash Burn Decks Through The Board Wipe. Edit: Got To The Bit Later Where you Explained How It Didn't Help Much Because 4k Booty To Crash Into. While True, Nuking Their Board Once Established (Especially The Numeron One) Does, I Believe, Shut Them Down For The Turn, Which Is Usually The Opening Needed To Deal With Them.
Seeing by stream 5 the deck has become the hardleg special from the good ole days of what a deck 🥲 felt nice seeing one of my favorite decks and even more so deck iteration from my favorite yugituber, felt cringe saying that word but I am sincere and hope to catch your next stream
just started the video and i must say knowing what deck you play alone makes me happy. i love odd eyes :) one of my favorite decks. this is gonna be good. edit. i love your hat.
Something that I find funny is Hollywood will spend millions of dollars to create content that is half of the amount of time and yet hardleg can still do it better🤣🤣
New segment is very Pog! Not gonna lie I often check out when you just explain with words because I have brain rot so if you give me dandeling keys on the screen I can focus more
Loved this episode and two big things came out of it: 1. realized i wasn’t subscribed when he said something and thus rectified the issue. 2. His sudden idea to start working out between combos made me want to get in shape too!
3:11 Joshua Schmidt approves! OMG yes I love Raye! I would die for Sky Striker Ace Raye! This support card is going to change my life and it's going to be the best card ever!
I know this was an ass duel but I just wanted to say MD looks amazing in grey scale here 1:19:04 . The values are actually So pleasing to see and it's clear what everything is even without colour. Also I just realised those are googly eyes on your top hat. I thought you sewed on buttons and bastardised the perfection that is your top hat. Knowing it's googly eyes, you've only elevated the top hat to godly status.
I'm watching you on my TV at home this time so I can't flood the video with comments so be glad hahaha. Also just wanted to say your intros have only be getting better and it's absolutely wonderful to see. This one in particular needed to be timed for 3 different takes and have them all line up which is, imo, way better than any editing you can possibly do. In edits you can manufacture timings but this kind of thing is a true performance art. Especially fitting for this deck as well
At this point if I ever get kids, I'm probably going to sing that Nibiru song as a lullaby for them to fall asleep to. One of the best songs you've sang on the channel imo
Massive thanks for the shout out, and it's always nice to see new people picking up the deck!🔥
I love you us odd eye fans must stick together I personally play z arc but after I’m done with my hero deck I’m going to make a Yuya deck
ODD EYES GOAT!!!
I have a feeling this will make me avoid the deck, or at least play it differently, the newest magician support is pretty good.
@@ACTIONFAN-lo5cxI play Z-Arc in Dinomorphia, can I join the club? :/
Odd eyes phantom dragon my fav
Huh, this episode of Masochist seems to be much longer than the others.
4x as long, one could say. A little odd, huh?
@@bionman88 yea i couldn't believe my eyes, 4 whole hours
One must imagine Sisyphus entertained.
im gonna be honest, the opening being a huge yuya refrance is pretty neat XD
he looks more like yusho with the top hat and beard
Swing Pendulum of Legs! Kick an ARC of light across the sky. Best of luck Joe, we’re all cheering you on. 🎉
I like that the title for this one just says "they" rather than “my patrons", implying that some sort of Illuminati-esque secret society forced you to play an outdated Pendulum deck
Big Pendulum got to him
Woke mind virus got him
There is not outdated pend decks?
@@martinignacioberro9876 Pure Supreme King isn't outdated, hell it even has quite a bit of space to play non-engine
@@AggronOverlord_306 i guess, but even that one is kinda mid at best
Remembered that time he pulled odd eyes performapal monster card and said "I'm not playing performapals, you can expect that"? I remember..
32:29 In case you weren't informed of this yet or anyone else is wondering, removing Apollousa from the field before her effect resolves does stop the negate because successfully negating a monster effect depends on her losing 800 ATK first (the effect says „and if you do“).
2:04
The second you said that, my mind instantly thought, "It's Entertainer, isn't it?"
Dude is definitely the best and most dedicated Odd-Eyes player I have ever seen.
Absolute legend of a man
Being the only odd eyes one trick he’s both the best and the worst simultaneously
Every climb i wait for Joe to start singing "i need a big ass rock" it's so bloody infectious
I think the greatest weakness of Odd-eyes is its Pendulum-Archetype-designed-before-master-rule-4-Itus so while it has protagonist support privileges, it's far from perfect.

As a big pend fan myself, I don't think they'll ever fully release them from link arrows. So, we just need Judgement Arrows and I'll be good to go.
24:26 Pendulum worst nightmare 😂
Bro I get a jump scare whenever I see that card when I play my pendulum magician deck, that's why I make sure to get backrow removal for that instance
I'm surprised this request didn't come sooner from the patrons considering the whole showman with a top hat thing Hardleg has going on
I just grabbed my bag of cheese puffs to watch this. Thank you for not only giving me great content to watch, but also for inspiring me to work on my very first ladder climb!
Woah woah woah, how come there's no mention of the odd eyes song we got during the Majespectre duel? It was amazing!
Bro all the songs sprinkled through the video were all really good and catchy!! Was not expecting them and I was very pleasantly surprised 😅😊

The new explaining method is pretty neat in my opinion
Odd Eyes (And Arc-V) fan here, appreciate what you do Hardleg. Fantastic.
OK but can we shine a spotlight on that little song in the Majespecter duel? That actually kinda rocked
And it's 3 hours in of a 4 hour video when people might have skipped or not be paying attention. Honestly just amazing
Oh boy 4 hours of Joe- Oh....oh dear heavens he's playing a pendulum deck. Oh Joe you poor sweet angel. No wonder it's a 4 hour video, it takes an hour to play each game of a pendulum deck.
Joe resolving Nibiru in ladder climb never fails to make me happy.
Well the reason why odd-eyes crosses over with zarc is cause yuya becomes zarc at the end of a series and zarc made odd-eyes
7:18 "We're gonna get Persona Dragon. Cause they'll never see it coming." Looking cool HardLeg.
that odd eyes song was so fire wtf 3:04:34

So many things happening in this ladder climb that even when I'm not watching on my phone I had to get it out so many times to comment about just the most interesting and fun stuff happening in this video. This is new comment worthy and not just a reply moment. Like it's one thing to edit what happens when you sing the Nibiru song but it's a whole nother thing to do a song like this 3 hours in when people might not even be paying attention or skip it. Genuinely surprised me, keep up the good work
I clipped the song here on TH-cam but idk if that even works like twitch clips. Kinda wish I had an editing software to edit this part and just upload it myself
Sorry to disappoint, but that song didn't take hardly any work on my part. I just wrote the lyrics and a.i. made the rest.
Still, the lyrics are pretty good and made the song very catchy. I love it
@@bladela242 hear hear!
@@HardlegGaming still a good song and I'm assuming you used ai since you don't know how to actually make the song yourself. No harm in that and you clearly explained that you didn't write the whole thing yourself instead of lying and claiming credit for the whole thing. Wrote the lyrics tho so that's dope
Love the intro, easily one of coolest ones in awhile
I think I've wanted to see "full combo" from the start of these videos for a long while tbh lmao. It was easier during the start of the series since you played much less complicated decks, but it started to be a noticeable(albeit slight) downsides in the red dragon archfiend climb. Please do it like this from now on
It seems like the Odd Eyes Revolution never left the planning board
I don't know how you stay motivated to do these. I've more or less had my desire to play crushed by the meta that has just refused to shift for months. Waiting for a big shake up to renew interest. It's hard to get interested in the new support that comes in when it's DoA compared to Fire.
Its absolutely crazy the number of kash and tear I’ve been seeing recently on the ladder. Idfk where they all came from
I'm only halfway through the video but playing the 1 of darkwurm without any way to foolish burial it hurts my soul
Odd eyes is my favorite deck it is also my favorite ace monster it's so cool
Are those songs in the vid originally yours Joe? If yes, you really have the talent. The lyric n music are great & amusing.
@@zerfchannel which songs? I sing a lot lol
@@HardlegGaming odd eyes song
@@zerfchannel ah, I wrote the lyrics for that one, but the music was made by an a.i. program called Suno.
You know after the last 5 ladder climb vids I thought the patreons wanted you to play at least somewhat competent decks, I guess this one proves me wrong.
if youtube has proven anything it's that people wanna see "funny" decks not good ones, between the constant and I do mean constant complaining about anything remotely competent and the difference in views between good decks and haha funny combos it's pretty clear which people prefer
Saying that while (probably) playing abyss actors is crazy 💀
Don't ever talk about playing a "non competent" deck again lil bro
@@Zarc-wi4wy Don’t get me wrong, I love absolutely awful decks, I play them all the time. I just thought the ladder climb was for “good decks” now. (Also side note I don’t play Abyss Actors, Sylvio is just one of my favorite characters)
Ok that has got to be the best intro. If they ever make you play Utopia you *have* to find a way to say FEELIN' THE FLOW
Commenting again lol
I built this deck and I frickin love it! So stoked to play a good and fun Odd-eyes deck! Thank you sir!
:D If at least one person has fun with the deck, I'll consider all the time worth it.
My favorite deck! Can't wait to watch!
The Yubel/Numeron Deck Opening With Dark Hole Was Probably Just Forcing Out The Z-ARC Summon Because If Allowed To Be Used As An Interruption, It Shuts Down Both The Crash Burn Decks Through The Board Wipe.
Edit: Got To The Bit Later Where you Explained How It Didn't Help Much Because 4k Booty To Crash Into. While True, Nuking Their Board Once Established (Especially The Numeron One) Does, I Believe, Shut Them Down For The Turn, Which Is Usually The Opening Needed To Deal With Them.
the thing with supreme king decks, ALWAYS TRY TO KEEP ZERO ON FIELD, negates the OTK ability of Yubels (Edit) and mikankos!
1:40:26 this duel is just beautiful
Seeing by stream 5 the deck has become the hardleg special from the good ole days of what a deck 🥲 felt nice seeing one of my favorite decks and even more so deck iteration from my favorite yugituber, felt cringe saying that word but I am sincere and hope to catch your next stream
just started the video and i must say knowing what deck you play alone makes me happy. i love odd eyes :) one of my favorite decks. this is gonna be good.
edit. i love your hat.
:D
7:18 lol I didnt see it coming that got me a good laugh thanks hardleg
Funnily enough, here in texas it never hit over 100, and every summer for like as long as I can remember has hit 110 lol
I set these two cards in the pendulum Joes to set my scales! Swing, Joedulum of the soul!
Dw dude, I got the reference in 43:30 you’re not alone in being a nerd
Something that I find funny is Hollywood will spend millions of dollars to create content that is half of the amount of time and yet hardleg can still do it better🤣🤣
THe odd eyes song was amazing!
New segment is very Pog! Not gonna lie I often check out when you just explain with words because I have brain rot so if you give me dandeling keys on the screen I can focus more
please god someone link me to the odd eyes climb song
The Odd-Eyes ladder climb theme was fire, especially the "FUCK!"
Loved this episode and two big things came out of it: 1. realized i wasn’t subscribed when he said something and thus rectified the issue. 2. His sudden idea to start working out between combos made me want to get in shape too!
3:11 Joshua Schmidt approves!
OMG yes I love Raye! I would die for Sky Striker Ace Raye! This support card is going to change my life and it's going to be the best card ever!
I know this was an ass duel but I just wanted to say MD looks amazing in grey scale here 1:19:04 . The values are actually So pleasing to see and it's clear what everything is even without colour.
Also I just realised those are googly eyes on your top hat. I thought you sewed on buttons and bastardised the perfection that is your top hat. Knowing it's googly eyes, you've only elevated the top hat to godly status.
I'm watching you on my TV at home this time so I can't flood the video with comments so be glad hahaha. Also just wanted to say your intros have only be getting better and it's absolutely wonderful to see. This one in particular needed to be timed for 3 different takes and have them all line up which is, imo, way better than any editing you can possibly do. In edits you can manufacture timings but this kind of thing is a true performance art. Especially fitting for this deck as well
At this point if I ever get kids, I'm probably going to sing that Nibiru song as a lullaby for them to fall asleep to. One of the best songs you've sang on the channel imo
The intro to this gets better every month
2:47:18 tbf it really is all you need to do to stop it
Pendulum sure put the “Hard” in Hardleg
why not wait to imperm until he uses the effect duel 1?
I've been trying to make an odd-eyes deck. Thanks for the video, I'll defs be checking out the TH-camr you shouted out.
how did you know I was hate watchin- I mean. Want a piece of candy?
That was the weirdest workout tutorial ever.
around 3 hour mark, that was so true and hilarious
3:07 Sky Striker cards and a Fire King UR? I didn't know world champions also get to customise Master Duel packs.
Ngl that's a pretty catchy tune
