    Hey guys, piece of constructive criticism. When you use this setup ensure that the player on the blue side of the mat has the blue screen overlay and the player on the red side of the mat has the red overlay. It will make the screen much more readable.

    Activating a trap in the GY is not the same as activating it on the field, so even if "Trap Trick" is activated in the same turn, Traps in the graveyard are still able to be activated

    • @JoeH..
      @JoeH.. ปีที่แล้ว +54

      It counts as a trap effect and not a trap card. Activating a card often consists of having it leave a private knowledge zone and it becoming public knowledge. Which it would already be for holeteu. But, as paul said, kinda irrelevant as alec had a pseudo-negate

    @OwlValkyrieQuinn ปีที่แล้ว +77

    I had a neat idea for a duel for you all! How about a Random Card challenge? Basically, you randomly generate a single card (Preferably a Monster) and you have to build a deck based off that card. Even if it's an ancient Normal Monster with no fusions or archetype, you can still build the deck surrounding the monster type or attribute, or the theme/artwork of the card. Here's the rules I came up with (though feel free to tweak them to suit your purposes)
    1) You must have x3 copies of that card in your deck (Proxies are acceptable if you don't have enough, of course)
    2) If there are cards that reference that card by name, (such as a fusion) you must have x3 copies of at minimum one of those cards. (Proxies, again are acceptable.) You must also have the means to actually play those cards (Polymerization and other materials for a fusion summon, for example)
    3) You must make reasonable effort to include your random card in your win condition - for example, getting M-Warrior #1 would suck, bad. But you could try, for example, to summon Karbonala Warrior (A fusion monster that requires M-Warrior #1 & 2) and then use it as a material for a monster that requires a fusion monster to summon. Is it good? No! But that's the fun of this idea.
    You could also reduce the pool of cards to select only cards of a certain tier of play, if you don't want a Twin Long Rods #2 VS Tearlaments Havnis match up, or add a rule where you have to summon your monster before you can win the duel.

    Good duel. Was entertaining a good way to showcase each of the abilities of the Structure Decks. Keep doing them! I like how DW plays, but the Traptrix SD is so full of control and recovery.
    I like the increasing production quality you and your editor implement into the videos. Showcasing the card being played for a few seconds really helps. There are some OCG TH-cam channels who do this pretty well.
    Some things I hope you can make changes to are:
    If using a dark colored playmat, please use light colored sleeves (and vice versa). It was a bit hard to notice set cards on Alec's field. High contrast/visibility is always good, and I know Paul you look up to the overhead camera a lot to check focus and camera views all the time.
    TH-cam allows End Screens to suggest other videos or display your channel's logo as a button to subscribe. As a viewer, it's super annoying to have those things cover up the last few seconds of your video while you guys are still talking and saying "Pass Turn". I recommend adding 5 seconds to the end of your videos as some sort of "outro" or fade out so your actual video is completely viewable and the End Screens cover up some nice background art or something.

  • @Merik2013
    @Merik2013 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    Alec, you still dont get Ceruli, it seems. The strongest play you can make going first with Darkworld is to discard Ceruli and then discard Siilva by Ceruli's effect. Especially effective if you pull it off twice. Just to remind you: Siilva's second effect is for your opponent to send two cards in their hand back to the deck. Its devastating. Siilva is also searchable off the new Reign-Beaux.
    Another thing you didnt seem to make use of was the new hand loop. If you have Reign-Beaux and Grapha in grave, then just getting one Darkworld on the field allows you to bounce it back to hand to summon Reign-Beaux and then bounce Reign-Beaux back to hand to summon Grapha. Thats a lot of card advantage.
    Bottom line is running only one Ceruli and no Siilva just doesnt cut muster.

    Paul forgot some effects. Sera can use each effect once per turn. So when he activates a trap hole, he can special summon a traptrix (in the first game it was dionaea), activate her effect, then activate sera again to set a trap hole.
    He also forgot to normal summon Pudica, which he could do thanks to his field spell.

    When grapha overlord leaves the field due to an opponents card, grapha will special summon, and then both players with a hand discard 1 card. Bottomless trap hole doesnt negate the summon, so you both would still discard a card.

Finally ordered three of the decks, so I can finally see the deck go up against Ultimate Dino Tyranno and Zombie World. I won my first game at locals with the dino deck; the icing on the cake was, when I got Ultimate Dino Tyranno on the board and swinging, my opponent conceded saying he didn't have an answer for it

      It's got a ton of potential. You've gotta reinforce it with cards that'll buy time and hold the line should things go South, as the Traptrix cards tend to lack firepower and defense. I like to put in max amount of Raigeki, Swords of Revealing Light, and Mimicking Man-Eater Bug. Also, a lot of attention is paid to Rafflesia, which is a great card, but - Traptrix Allomerus has a secondary effect of being able to steal an opponent's monster, if said opponent's monster leaves the field by card effect. This applies to any Trap Hole, Raigeki, banishment - anything. If you can get Malevolent Sin and Allomerus on the field, you can steal any monster you want. With the new field spell, it's even easier to make that happen.

      You can summon them to your opponent’s field to draw 2 cards and discard 1. They are a good extender, but they can also help prevent bricking if you start on them.

      Also, forgot to say, because you can put them on the opponent’s field, some of the extra DW effects can activate by forcing them to make you discard. ROTA helps to get them out. DW in general doesn’t rely on normal summons, so normal summoning them is usually a good idea.

    6:30 if you activated holeutea you could have another XYZ monster on the field, like rafflesia, to have any hole active from your deck. Or, you could have detached dionea instead and then use holeutea and special and make cularea, to special summon back the dio, to reset the discarded trap. Which would allow you to reset any used hole card (like the gravedigger that will wreck Alec's deck)
    11:56 why not normal summon pudica and activate holeatea? You can make alumerus, use her effect to special mermalio, pop a backrow and have 3200 + 2600 more on board to win this round.
    20:10 I think you ashould never get rid of Sera unless you can get her back the same turn. She has to much value on field.
    21:26 No 'it'is not the only card you can use: You can only use 1 trap this turn; It can eb any trap you have on field
    Still, you showcased what the TT deck can do. And how great this deck can be. Pak even went 5-0 against kashrita with this.
