Cimo receiving god's favor and still losing game 3 was so funny. I already KNEW Cimo was going to open Twin 3 games in a row the moment I saw it was available.
Honestly I just don't care at this point. These episodes has been pretty dull lately. Norden ban makes sense though. The complainers are just complaining for the sake of it.
The series has just been kind of boring for a few weeks now. There is no real progression, any new/good card is banned after 1-3 weeks so they just run back stuff we have already seen them play a bunch of times.
I would also suggest a 3-lose streak = can be either BAN or UNBAN because UNBAN can help the loser to get back as well. Now it's easy to ban a card but it's so hard to bring it back.
To cimo (should you actually read this), Deskbot players around breakers ran 2 005's,1 006, 1 007, 2 008's if they didnt have infinity. Always bait with the 004, 003 is the only way to grind and end game, 007 and 008 become crazy. Kaijus was the main way of removal during BOSH time, they sided out for traps if we were going first. Good run of twin twisters with dark hole. Typically deskbot decks ran kaiju slumber/dark hole with 2 twin twisters in main, 3rd was in side. Stuff like CoH and fiendish chain or bottomless were general good stuff traos to play with deskbots since our main weakness (other than normal summon sickness) was opponent summoning something 004 couldnt kill. 006 is nish for changing position to out problem monsters. But provided unique combos when 004 summons 006/004, 006 changes 004 to attack, 2nd 004 goes in on another monster clear for more 004 summons. Easy way to get 5 deskbots on field, likely ending in jet which allows for setup on following turn. Hope this helps, A BOSH-era Deskbot player
@@fredplaysbgs5756you care less about dark hole than twin twister this set - I imagine you go first so you’re not sitting there like an idiot once your scales get popped 😊
I am shocked that Royal Magical Library is actually used in a deck that doesn't try to win before the opponent even looks at their cards or takes a breath.
No joke, Cimo’s Deskbot deck is the most powerful deck in Prog right now (Gage doesn’t have any 004) and he just keeps throwing games with it. Additionally he draws the most insane opening hand every time.
Cimo is the king of Overthinking the most simplest plays, then going f*ck it on GAME WINNING DESCISIONS😂 I'm a Cimo lifer. I always will be. But I still cry...
Not even combos, he just needs to understand their basic effects. If you have 003 and 004 in hand and you want to summon 004, why would you not just summon 003 to fetch one from deck?
Banning cards should be exclusive to losing 3 times in a row. You should also be able to choose to un-ban instead of ban after 3 losses. At the very least, the wheel should have ban at half the size. Too many cards and strats get hit far too quickly.
yeah, like it sucks that BA was made unplayable with the Dante ban after like one game. One of the most iconic decks in history and it is unusable in a "Progression" series after one week.
Really should do something about the current banlist system. Ban tickets and the banning are causing more harm then intended. Giving us the same decks for what feels like months at a time.
Instant Fusion into Norden is boring anyway. We all know what it's used for, so Cimo did us a favor by not letting it get ANY foothold in Prog Series 2.
@@beardedchamp_ygo6515I'd be more interested if they did something out of the ordinary with what they have. If Norden stuck around, you know too well they'd use Instant Fusion to make Rank 4s just like back in the day. I'm tired of that.
This was probably one of the worst sets to pull out the igknights given it premieres two cards that are really good against them with IKS and twin twisters. Even if Cimoo wasn’t playing IKS this time, it’s bold to play a deck that has no follow-up if their stuff is wiped right after a bunch of cards that wipe your field release
Gage just needs to ban 1 of them himself. He doesnt use them nearly as often and not having to play around them for his playstyles would make many games different
Both guys having triple Twin Twister going forward is going to make this series very interesting going forward. Can I just say that Cimo’s Kaiju luck has been loco these past couple of sets and that could really make Gage’s life hell in the future since I don’t think he’s pulled that many Kaijus.
I started watching progression because I thought it would be cool to see what interesting decks could be made from random pulls but man, all these bans have put the game into a really boring position. Please stop. Please make interesting decks.

Great episode fellas, excited for the future with us being this far in… a season and a half, feels like it’s been 4-5 years and it probably has been… thanks basically is what I’m saying this type of content helps my life so much
They just need to get rid of banning on the wheel, Alex spun it on the wheel. They also need to make a rule where you can't ban a card only one episode after they got it.
They should do the bans like Dzeef does in Saga. After every 5 games you get 1 ban for every game you lost. Would probably still have the same amount of bans but you would actually get to see the cards get used.
It’s really dumb that the winner has a chance to ban cards. It should be only a loser streak thing. Something they could possible do is either A: replace it with a one time only where you get to pick any banned (excluding hall of famed) card and get to play it the following ep Or B: Take off entirely and only the loser gets to ban
Losers should have a a loser’s wheel for pity packs, unbanning, redo tickets, rare , etc All the fluff from the winner’s wheel. Makes the game more interesting
The winners wheel always seems weird, like if your winning week after week, you're just getting more and more, sure some of the options are kinda less desirable, but there should also be a losers wheel were the pity packs have multiple slots so they are the most common, but there should be the snatch steal option, unban ticket and other things on the loser wheel, something to help whoever is losing multiple weeks the ability to fight back without just opening the absolute god box, or going to the banning for losing 3 weeks in a row.
Dino cavalry of dinon is stupid strong cause rember... it's a dino, so it benefits from all of it's support including stuff like survival of the fitest. It can also work with tyrano infinity and survival instinct not to mention its absolute ace vs pendulum monsters
He should ban gorz, not fader. Cimo can just swap fader for speedroid menko which will do functionally the same thing but also swap everything gage controls to defense(which in the era before links is probably better than fader just ending the battle phase).
Cimo and Gage have really different ways of playing. Cimo likes to hold back cards sometimes to the point of losing and Gage likes to just blow through every card in his hand to build boards that get wiped by board clear instantly.
I've never had good luck with pulling the big chase card in a set, but I somehow pulled 2 Solemn Strike from packs I bought at Target when this pack came out.
it was a while ago but I don't remember igknight doing too much in the meta, they're on a lot of restrictions so it's not going to be 1:1 with what the meta was like but Stardust et al. were amazing for their ability to actually protect big boards, Kozmo replaced itself, Drill Warrior dodged most removal. I feel like this era of yugioh was long after make a big board say go was considered workable.
I never played during this time period so I might be missing something but I don’t know why these guys are so against playing trap cards sometimes. I get it to some extent like Dark hole does basically the same thing as Torrential/mirror force, but pulling solemn strike and not playing it in this format seems crazy to me. even for cimo’s going second OTK deck.
traps are not good in pend decks like igknights or OTK decks like deskbots, not playing traps this week was correct. traps in general were being used less and less during this period (unless you could search them like the majespecter ones or with guiding ariadne)
@@MrGshinobi I agree. But this isn’t the format as it was at the time. It’s a unique semi-constructed format. So while I’m not saying he should play traps in a pendulum deck, I’m saying perhaps he shouldn’t play that deck at all when it has minimal payoff
Most traps aren't worth running unless an archetype can either search a specific trap during their combo or if they're a full on trap deck like Lab or Paleo.
Um, actually, he said he was maulding. Try going back and playing the captions if it says something that you think you misheard or is just that funny because sometimes it's different than you think you hear. Also, just for clarification, he said that on the last episode too.😊
Congrats to Gage for winning that even with Cimo having Dark Hole + Twin Twister in his opening hand two games lol. I'd ask for a small change to Re-Doer tickets, let you choose which roll you keep, so you can actually use them without the fear of losing a better roll and Reroller tickets SHOULD be a net positive item to use since they're so limited. So basically, if you use a Reroller, you get to chose between the old roll and the new roll when you finish both. So you have that safety net.
While it does make both players spend redoer tickets and not get flammed by the comments the current making redoer tickets a gamble if you can get better pulls or lose you're current pulls is more fun
I clicked off thinking the game was over... Came back after Breakers of Shadows Season 2 ft Doug and Dzeef to check on the comments. What a nice surprise.
For the love of god stop banning shit. Please. Yes Norden CAN be broken later, but again, Gage had it for ONE EPISODE!!! There is no variety in this series anymore, between Gage trying new decks for one week (until Alex bans the key part of the deck), and Alex playing the same four decks with BLS and Gorz shoved into it. I am so done watching this series Edit: I want to clarify. I watched until Alex screamed to ban Norden. I didn’t even have to see the decks this week to know it was a punt. Anytime one of them is on a win streak, they always throw it by the third, to avoid a banning. Im done with it
@@kingrex10000 We are not complaining that Cimo banned cards. Banning sucks when Gage or Cimo do it. It's not about fairness. We want to see the cards played.
@@jeykboy "we" Speak for yourself please. Banning is ok, but the winner shouldnt be allowed to do it. Also, throwing games on the third win? Did gage throw his game on the third win before losing dante? That sounds like selective memory.

For the wheel, maybe you could add a trade-in option ? Trade in a super/ultra/or secret you didn’t want for one you did?
I would also suggest a 3-lose streak = can be either BAN or UNBAN because UNBAN can help the loser to get back as well. Now it's easy to ban a card but it's so hard to bring it back.
I feel trading down a rarity would be better

Banning everything semi interesting is lame, especially in the episode directly after they’re acquired
While I do generally agree with you, Norden is a card whose existence justifies this preemptive hit.
at least we got to see Gage play BA for one episode before Dante was banned
He acquired Norden 2 episodes ago and had it in his deck the same episode. He chose not to play it last week.

You can tell Cimo and Gage are Capitalists unlike MBT who is a socialist lol

Nova is 1 as well, not 2.

Also Cimoo: "We will never re-spin this!"
He was prepared to redoer this set until he pulled strike.
His pulls were out of this world though. He would have been crazy to respin that.
Ah, this is the YuGiOh we are all familar with. 3 turns and SCOOP.
The ban system is legitimately ruining the series.
Watching Gage go through the cards in the set like "...is he seriously not gonna mention Dinomist?"

By far the best April fools video out of the yugituber bunch

He should ban gorz, not fader. Cimo can just swap fader for speedroid menko which will do functionally the same thing but also swap everything gage controls to defense(which in the era before links is probably better than fader just ending the battle phase).
Too many bans IMO... Every interesting card that seprates Gage's and Cimo's cardpools is banned.
Gage: Going first is the play
Also Gage: Gets OTK'd by the person playing the going 2nd OTK deck.
Cimo and Gage have really different ways of playing. Cimo likes to hold back cards sometimes to the point of losing and Gage likes to just blow through every card in his hand to build boards that get wiped by board clear instantly.
Have they ever actually established a rule limiting only one reroll per set?
Yes, I think they did at the beginning of both series when they go over the rules for each series.
Both of them have stated as much even if they didn't ever specifically say it together at some point.
Knowing that cimo has twin twisters for the pendulums, why not save wavering to play defensively?
maybe the real April Fool's Joke was the friends we made along the way 😃
Gage is so frikken greedy. Theres so many twin twister and he kept spending all his hand into dying to spell trap removal 😂😂😂

"I'm balding bro!" 😂😂😂
Um, actually, he said he was maulding. Try going back and playing the captions if it says something that you think you misheard or is just that funny because sometimes it's different than you think you hear. Also, just for clarification, he said that on the last episode too.😊
@@weirdsweetcoolplants Captions are not accurate most of the time.
Congrats to Gage for winning that even with Cimo having Dark Hole + Twin Twister in his opening hand two games lol.
I'd ask for a small change to Re-Doer tickets, let you choose which roll you keep, so you can actually use them without the fear of losing a better roll and Reroller tickets SHOULD be a net positive item to use since they're so limited.
So basically, if you use a Reroller, you get to chose between the old roll and the new roll when you finish both. So you have that safety net.
While it does make both players spend redoer tickets and not get flammed by the comments the current making redoer tickets a gamble if you can get better pulls or lose you're current pulls is more fun
This series is so broken. No one has a deck that they're known for because everything that's exclusive to each duelist is immediately banned.
No fucking WAY 😂 i was about to turn this off and do something else that 3rd game but my boy GAGE clutched it by the skin of his scrote!!!!!
I clicked off thinking the game was over...
Came back after Breakers of Shadows Season 2 ft Doug and Dzeef to check on the comments.
What a nice surprise.
The algorithm took me to Dzeefs channel when I typed in Progression series, I was confused 😂
For the love of god stop banning shit. Please. Yes Norden CAN be broken later, but again, Gage had it for ONE EPISODE!!! There is no variety in this series anymore, between Gage trying new decks for one week (until Alex bans the key part of the deck), and Alex playing the same four decks with BLS and Gorz shoved into it. I am so done watching this series
Edit: I want to clarify. I watched until Alex screamed to ban Norden. I didn’t even have to see the decks this week to know it was a punt. Anytime one of them is on a win streak, they always throw it by the third, to avoid a banning. Im done with it
Didn't gage ban construct? I'm just saying
@@kingrex10000 We are not complaining that Cimo banned cards. Banning sucks when Gage or Cimo do it. It's not about fairness. We want to see the cards played.
@@kingrex10000 im not saying he didn’t. Im saying that the idea of petty banning shit is ruining this series
@@jeykboy we'd get a worse version of season 1 with more broken cards and no way to get rid of them. That's what you guys want?
@@jeykboy "we" Speak for yourself please. Banning is ok, but the winner shouldnt be allowed to do it. Also, throwing games on the third win? Did gage throw his game on the third win before losing dante? That sounds like selective memory.
What card did you want or get from breakers of shadow?
Gage its time to main deck starlight road
This set introduced Twin Twister
Gage : Proceed to play Pendulum Deck
Ok
Gage not hand loop himself challenge level: impossible
why do we keep playing into Dark Hole and Twin every single game even after seeing them?
Game 1 22:43
Game 2 29:30
Game 3 37:21
