5 Minutes into the first game and Cimo is holding Triple Kalut, the nightmare returns. Also game 3. Within 1 turn of using his Pot of Duality, he still drew all 3 cards the Pot revealed lol.
Gage: If you normal summon Qlis become 1800, but if you special summon them from the deck, they are just as big. The Qli monsters: "If this card is Normal Summoned without Tributing, OR IS SPECIAL SUMMONED, its Level becomes 4 and its original ATK becomes 1800"
I like how cimmo is always passive aggressive in his conversations with gage, everytime gage deals with a situations cimmo is always saying went through worse last episode
@@Petsinwinter2 No. it was busted 5D’s/Zexal era cards that Gage lost to. Prog has become a point to you can build whatever deck you want and win because you have opened staples from several years ago.
@@superboy-prime9231 Did you miss last season where half the reason Cimo stomped Gage so much is because he'd pulled a bunch of DM staples and Gage hadn't?
YES…Blackwings are back. It was fun to see Cimo bring our feathered friends back and I’m glad they got him the win again. It was fun to see Kalut again.
True, but with that logic, we will be at 100 videos for prog 2 next week, since prog 2 began in february in 2021 so we have 98 episodes and one compilation so far.😊 So, basically the same thing.😂
man gage really needs IWIWD this shit has been miserable the past few weeks. Boxers, and DRulers have become the new chaos. Wheres the jank like servants :(
One of the best feelings in prog is when Gage goes "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE ON THAT OLD ASS, TERRIBLE ASS, NO GOOD DECK!!!" and then proceeds to get beat by said deck.
Lead Yoke requires a bad Rank 4 archetype to utilize and pretty much does nothing Stardust Dragon also wouldn't. There's a few Level 4 Tuners like Rose, Warrior of Revenge and Guldfaxe of the Nordic Beasts you can slot into a generic Rank 4 Turbo deck to access it plus several other 8s.
I'm sure lot of people think kalut is a bs win too. Oh well, just wait until superheavies get more support in the next several episodes. They have TWO hand traps like that.😊❤
Cimo's such a great villain. Giggling his way through the episode, top decking insane, just Gorz and Maxx C left and right but still manages to complain cause Gage draws Pot every game.

11:30 Aria and Opera (conditionally) prevent Melodious monsters from being destroyed by battle. I could’ve sworn there was one that prevented you from attacking any OTHER monster (so if you had 2 your opponent couldn’t attack) but can’t find it
25:58 should have just grabbed Sirroco here and attempt to run into Exicton. Worse case scenario it eats a backrow best case scenario it eats the entire board because of Gage's own Exciton. There was no reason outside of greed to grab Icarus.
The good thing about Ciimos deck in is that he can just normal summon one monster and still can survive, while gage in other hand always relies on special summon. i think if gage focus on summoning exciton first before going to lead yoke will be a better play since you cant attack recklessly w yoke anyway knowing your opponent had prisoner here, especialy exciton is a quick effect too. its good to see BW in the board again tho
Fun match and I wouldn’t be surprised if Gage spite bans Gorz in two weeks. Gorz has been a pain in Gage’s ass the last few weeks and not having to worry about Gorz going forward would take a load off of Gage’s mind. I’m kind of hoping we might get a montage of Gage getting Gorz’d in next week’s Beat of Prog 2023 video. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Alex and Gage start having discussions about sending Skill Drain to the Hall of Fame as it’s been pretty game determinative the past couple of weeks.
I can't wait for Konami to give us more support for the Gorz/Maxx C/D Prison Archetype. We had to pad out the deck with a bunch of bad cards to hit 40 here.
For the "First of the Dragons" card, I had a deck idea around the time this came out that did alright. Ran all the best normal level 3 monsters (Like Sonic duck, Tune warrior etc). Then use cards like Dragons Mirror, Faustian Bargain, Enchanted fitting room (The reason we use level 3s) Unexpected Dai, Heat wave. Then just run best rank 3 Xyz, and level 6 Synchros, along with Mist wurm and you get a surprisingly nice deck. Not the best but certainly could work in this sort of series as a surprise. Also Knight of red lotus works well in it too for special summoning normals back from grave, either special summon him, or if you get chance can tribute summon him where he just can bring back a normal monster that was tributed anyway.
Cimo, not sure if you have any, but Swallow's Nest makes multiple copies of Sirocco pretty good because if you target the same Blackwing with more than one Sirocco it can make it pretty high in ATK.
I remember buying this set in uni. Got my Ghost Rare Dark Rebellion from it but also introduced me to the Melodious and Fluffal stuff. Wish I could pull a full deck for them both outside Duel Links >.>
Cimo: How does it feel to get floodgated Also Cimo: Drops maxx C every game, Gorz 2/3 and the skill drain Man sacked Gage every game + protag powers Gage was never meant to win this episode, I don't blame Gage for getting tilted
Oh man all this Maxx C it's like I'm playing Master Duel all over again. I love how Game 2 Gage is like "Oh I'm going to play around Icarus and not put 2 cards on the field." Proceeds to take free 1800 damage and then plays into Icarus (If Cimo had it). The classic where the only time Cimo doesn't have a card is when Gage is playing around it but then draws it as soon as Gage stops playing around it.
Gage: We are way past Duality's prime
Cimo: Oh boy, Duality
I don't think Gage realizes Yosenju are right around the corner
@@magicmuffin247 Yosenju Kama 1 is a slept-on menace
Does Gage not realize that Qliphort at the time played Duality cause it was a stun deck at heart?
Gage can't understand anything but combo decks.
@TehWhiteTiger gageh doesn't even know combo decks.
Gage: please shuffle that extra good, i dont wanna see maxx C
Cimo: *Draws maxx C*
I laughed so hard when this happened 🤣
Shuffle well, yugi!
Cimo is the only player that can magically make 2 d prisons and 3 Maxx C's look like 15 cards
not to mention the 2 gorz
@@foji-video facts
He also makes playing chaos look like a small engine.
cimo the kinda guy to beat a 2014 meta deck with staples from the year 2008
“Cimoo the only player who can make 3 maxx “c”s look like 15 cards” lmao what
This might as well have been a duelist cup match considering how Maxx c was basically the only card that matter in this set
Maxx c just maxx c'ing
Only cimo can pull up to duelist alliance format with an edison deck and make it seems this good.
Protagonist powers are one hell of a drug
Cimo will never catch up with the times and play correct time line decks for the era they’re in
Except he’s been playing Shaddoll lately
Maxx C moment
Cimo's deck is a lot better than Edison version of BWs, and to be fair the blackwings barely did anything, it was gorz, traps and maxx C turbo
Ah yes, the classic "Alex Cimo draws exactly what he needs every time" episode. The power of Blackwings i guess
5 Minutes into the first game and Cimo is holding Triple Kalut, the nightmare returns.
Also game 3. Within 1 turn of using his Pot of Duality, he still drew all 3 cards the Pot revealed lol.
Gage: If you normal summon Qlis become 1800, but if you special summon them from the deck, they are just as big.
The Qli monsters: "If this card is Normal Summoned without Tributing, OR IS SPECIAL SUMMONED, its Level becomes 4 and its original ATK becomes 1800"
Was just about to mention this myself....not even 5min in and he's got a ruling wrong
Gorz is now the best Blackwing and Alien card.
Triple maxx C in cimo's hands means getting sacked at least 1 game for the rest of the series
Maxx c gets limited later
I like how cimmo is always passive aggressive in his conversations with gage, everytime gage deals with a situations cimmo is always saying went through worse last episode
17:57 Now this should be included in that Best of 2023 Prog compilation aside from that stellar King of Skull Servants play.
😂😂
Cimoo has the plot armor like every single protagonist
The D-Prisons. The Gorz. BlAcK wHirlWinD.
We're in 2015, and Gage lost to a literal Edison deck. What a time to be alive.
The Maxx C is a thing. That wasn’t legal for Edison.
Goddammit, you're right. It was a literal Edison deck but with Maxx C and Steam
He lost to Maxx C

Unlikely. Next week should be the prog compilation, not a new episode

Oh great. Nym runs a deck impervious to Kalut damage step and Alex somehow still protagonist draws a brain control.
Protagonist power is just immaculate in this episode
**screams from behind car window**
Gage! Noooo! Look at the graveyard you’re gonna give him 3 darks! GAAAAAAGE!
Prog made U.A. my favorite deck to play in MD, I really hope Cimooo runs them back this season
They were pretty damn fearsome in Cimoooo's hands. Would love to see them again.
UA is such an underrated deck imo, it's only a few decent support cards off being nuts
@@IrrelevantOaf yeah cimo's record playing ua in season 1 was crazy. i think he only lost one match in the final gauntlet
There counter parts the f.a.'s are nothing to sneeze at either
37:00 & 44:26
Gage: I'll shuffle these babies real good! BADA BING!
**Cimo draws it again**
Digging the new thumbnail style!
Whenever you see Battlin Boxers, you know someone is throwing the game away.
man gage really needs IWIWD this shit has been miserable the past few weeks. Boxers, and DRulers have become the new chaos. Wheres the jank like servants :(
@@neloverg3774Gage cant build like that. Man needs help in deck building for this at all times lol
To be fair he was in control game 2 and he would've won if he wasn't dueling the titular protagonist of the series.
@@neloverg3774 The boxers have barely appeared this season...
@@ДимитърПоптолев Yeah, that was a crazy amount of luck...
"How'd you have all those D Prisons??"
Gage... he had two Maxx Cs and you played right into it.
One of the best feelings in prog is when Gage goes "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE ON THAT OLD ASS, TERRIBLE ASS, NO GOOD DECK!!!" and then proceeds to get beat by said deck.
To be fair, he was beaten by maxx c more than black wings
I like how we are ending 2023 with the progression classic blackwings, a surprise for sure but a welcome one

Always look forward to this on Monday, makes monday a little more worth it
I knew Gage's BS win with King of the Skull Servant generated some super negative karma thats gonna haunt him later, and here we are...smh
I'm sure lot of people think kalut is a bs win too. Oh well, just wait until superheavies get more support in the next several episodes. They have TWO hand traps like that.😊❤
Maxx "C" sure is a fair and balanced card
I love Cimo at his most evil
Double Gorz with Triple Whirlwind is certainly a choice
17:53 YES, LET'S GO!
I am genuinely so hyped for this.
Gage cannot complain on that skill drain with the three Colosseums…… lol good episode boys
Gage literally had shadow mirror flipped up, which is essentially a skill drain that only works on Cimo given the matchup
Gorz, Maxx C, and D-Prison just vibing in cimos hands all day long 😆
Always love watching this series it makes the rough mondays better.
Listening to Cimo, the King of floodgates, complaining about floodgates again is too funny
Technicality, they were BOTH complaining about Floodgates, even though they HAD floodgates in their decks. lol
I guess Gage's consolation price is that Alex didn't really get to do any real Damage Step shenanigans despite having three Kalut in hand game 1.
Cimo’s Flock has returned. Not used to Prog Amor Master 😂
Cimo's such a great villain. Giggling his way through the episode, top decking insane, just Gorz and Maxx C left and right but still manages to complain cause Gage draws Pot every game.

Find it weird that no one is playing mirror force. I know it was dead at this point in Yu-Gi-Ohs history but in sealed it's still a blowout
We need a reissue of Penguin Soldier as part of the Blackwing archetype
Penguins _are_ birds...
@@draketheduelistbut they aren’t blackwings
@@kankouyathey are black they have wings. Ergo blackwings
LOVE the new thumbnail style!
Joseph is going to cry on the stream tonight.
If only Cimo shuffled an extra time, that would have really changed the outcome.
If only Gage would the damn mirrors in his main deck since like half of the decks playable right now are more or less chaos based.
Cimo getting mad at situational floodgate for one attribute when he's playing Skill Drain.
Holy cow, some great moments in here for the compilation at the end of the year.
*I haven’t watched in a year and the first game back he’s playing BLACKWINGS.* 😂
Top deck brain con os the biggest legal steal i ever seen since the cimoments from season 1
Step aside, Kalut! Gorz, Maxx C, and D Prison are here to make Cimoooo's day!
Today we are playing Gorz/maxx C control.
Hall of fame Maxx C? Nah
Hall of fame Gorz? Nah
Hall of fame D Prison? Of course
(cimo brings back blackwings)
cimo: KEIKAKU DOORI!
I love when Cimo haunts Gage with his Blackwing deck
Ladies and gentlemen, time is a flat circle
Punch-In-The-Box is a sleeper trap card from this set. It deals with 2 Lead Yokes no problem.
The good thing about Ciimos deck in is that he can just normal summon one monster and still can survive, while gage in other hand always relies on special summon. i think if gage focus on summoning exciton first before going to lead yoke will be a better play since you cant attack recklessly w yoke anyway knowing your opponent had prisoner here, especialy exciton is a quick effect too.
its good to see BW in the board again tho

I would play 3 tragoedia and Battle fader and some Kind of Stall deck than to surprise Gage.
I wouldn't be surprised by a gorz ban either. I am really hoping for max c although I doubt it will happen since he has 2 copies.
I really wanted both of them to reroll 😞 I think they could have done so much better and they have a good amount of rerolls each
Gage absolutely, Cimo getting Yazi at the end really complicated that question
shek and elshaddoll fusion would have gone crazy for cimo, gage unfortunately had nothing to reroll for
@@MrGshinobiThen gage would simply ban Construct like Cimoo said
Cimo is right though, Gage might ban Construct. Cimo won so if he spins another secret he could get Shek or El Shaddoll Fusion.
@@leonardopolizelmartins5794 After him getting a Third Maxx C? Would be pretty stupid to do so.
"Shuffle well, Pharaoh!"
{draws Max C}
Sounds about right.
That table/keyboard smash is fitting for gorz around that era of yugioh 😂. Not as bad as previous formats but yeah.
Cimo out here bringing the 2009 special into 2015 yugioh
39:30 The third D Prison reaction 🤣🤣
Love how Cimo complains about floodgates when he’s been maining floodgates before they were Hall of famed.
I was losing my mind when Cimo hit with Bora and forgot his piercing bypasses Shadow Imp. He shouldve won then and there
Does it bypass Shadow mirror? I never knew. I just read it only stops activated effects. Thanks I guess.
In game 3? Skill drain was up so it still lost its piercing effect.
I get actively angry when cimo doesn’t use his respins lmao :edit I stopped being angry when I saw what cimo brought today hype is back
I soon as I saw Cimo's list I had the biggest grin on my face Gage is going to shit so is mbt lmao
I can't wait for mbt's reaction 😂
Cimooo actually has protag plot armor when playing black wings 😂
MBT is gonna have a coniption when he sees this episode
Cimo complaining when he drew Maxx C 3 times in a single match and played floodgate turbo for like 2 months is so rich.
Cimoooooo is never beating the synchro era allegations my god
Not sure if cimo has allure of darkness in the duelist alliance era black wings got support also but were pretty strong and I loved playing them
I can't wait for Konami to give us more support for the Gorz/Maxx C/D Prison Archetype. We had to pad out the deck with a bunch of bad cards to hit 40 here.
i wish you would also put what time period for the packs too in the description or title. This is more for the jank and history series though
This has been the best banter in the series. Fun episode!
Blackwings vs Battlin Boxer, do I here Damage step Kalut and Counterpunch in my ear
Gage PLEASE get an ad blocker my guy.
My boy, Blackwing 😎🔥
the “4” d prisons and 3 maxx c moments need to be in the final compilation oml 😂😂😂
g1 of of blackwings and cimo gets triple kalut. classic

I actually expected Cimo to play Blackwing on the 5D's Collection episode, so it was a bit of a surprise to see them pop up now instead of then.
This episode was peak!! The past episodes have been peak! Nothing but game 3s you love to see it!
This video deserve the like the king is back!
I remember buying this set in uni. Got my Ghost Rare Dark Rebellion from it but also introduced me to the Melodious and Fluffal stuff. Wish I could pull a full deck for them both outside Duel Links >.>

Also Cimo: Drops maxx C every game, Gorz 2/3 and the skill drain
Man sacked Gage every game + protag powers Gage was never meant to win this episode, I don't blame Gage for getting tilted
Cimo Mechanical Laugh it will definitely be a Awesome Episode.
For the Holidays, Cimooooooo brought back repressed trauma for Gage.
Cimooo's evil laugh always gets me. Hilarious
