It’s not a matter of free will. It’s a matter of the deck auto piloting. The deck kinda plays itself and you have very little decision making to actually do.
1:30:00 This duel doesn't answer the question "Does Hardleg have Free Will" but it does pose the question, "If master duel players have Free Will, will they make the *wrong* decision" and the answer is, *yes, yes they will*
58:00 that bit and that transition are so good lol Cvit is by far my fav editor in the whole yugitubing community, no weird zoom-ins, no over the top edits, no unnecessary messing with the audio, no self inserts that stop the video, really just nice, clean editing
@S V I don't wanna throw shade, most editors are fine for what they do even if rough around the edges but yeah, I got a couple series ruined by horrible out of place editing every 5 seconds like the viewer has that long of an attention span *cough cough* Junior Journey *cough cough*
Eh, i like both styles at different times. Sometimes I wanna have a clean, calm edit. Sometimes I wanna have zoom-ins, audo distortions and other shit.
I think alternating between bad decks, outdated decks, and new but overshadowed decks is a good direction for the series. As long as it is not a real top tier deck I think they will be fun. Great episode.
I can't help but feel that the free-will discussion might have worked better with a deck that actually involves more decision-making outside of deck building. Maybe a topic to come back to, should you play say a more involved control deck for a future ladder climb. Until then, continue being existential Hardleg. Anyway, always nice when a new episode drops, I really enjoy seeing how the decks change between iterations. These are always a nice watch/listen, especially when they involve unexpected topics.
I feel like the opposite is true. In order to test for luck, you need to have as few other variables in play as possible. If you're playing a complicated control deck, and lose after you make 10 decisions, it's hard to tell if you lost because of your starting hand, or because one of your 10 decisions was wrong. It's possible you lost the moment you drew your starting hand, but it's also possible that the game was winnable, and your decisions lost it for you. It's impossible to tell unless you have perfect knowledge of the game state. When you play a deck like Umi Control though, where there are almost no decisions, then it becomes clear if the starting conditions determined the outcome, because there's no player input to mess with your results.
@@HardlegGaming I see, that is a good point. But couldn't the original hypothesis already be flawed? Here luck was measured as opening hand iirc. But beside luck, isn't that already influenced by deck building which I'd consider a free will decision? For example, your decision to run 41 cards including 3 Solemn should make it more likely to open a Solemn over a starter where as your decision to run 4 pots should make it more likely to turn your opening hand into something playable. So I feel that the way we measure the luck variable (as opening hands) is not entirely independent from the decision variable. Now of course we don't know whether correlation is even gonna be a major problem without any proper data. ...okay I don't even know why I decided to type this out and eventually this will end in someone doing a regression analysis. Nobody wants math! Free will is a lie and typing this was caused by brain parasites!
Man, I'd really like to see what a Hardleg ladder climb with Labrynth would look like. That's a deck that can run a ton of builds that might work better or worse at different points in the ladder. Playing Tenyis without immediately going into Swordsoul could also be interesting, as those have synergy with both the other Wyrm stuff and non-effect monsters.
Congratulations on getting Umi & friends to Diamond 1. Some of those duels looked extremely rough if they were able to deal with the lockdown. Gotta say though, Unending Nightmare is definitely the unsung hero of this climb for sure.
As someone who plays this deck a bunch, I've really grown to love Pacifis over A Legendary Ocean. Yeah, it's a bit harder to search, but those tokens are really valuable. Plus, you get to play Phantasm Spiral Power, a searchable Imperm! Also, SSA+Pacifis, for whatever reason, is really hard for Despia to break down, haha.
@Christian Wright Right now the deck list is 1 Phantasm Spiral Dragon 3 Kairyu-Shin 3 Electric Jellyfish 2 Doom Kraken 1 Mega Fortress Whale 1 Icejade Tremora (Good Synergy with Ice Barrier, and can unbrick you if you draw a big water monster) 1 Legendary Fisherman II 1 Legendary Fisherman III (You can totally cut the Fishermen, as they get walled pretty bad by Despia and Floo, but some decks like Dinomorph and I think Labrynth don't really have many answers to it.) 3 Maxx C 2 Warrior of Atlantis Spells: 1 Terraforming 2 Pacifis 1 A Legendary Ocean 1 Sea Stealth II 1 Rage of Kairyu-Shin 3 Pot of Extravagance 3 Foolish Burial Goods 3 Fish Sonar Traps: 2 Sea Stealth Attack 2 Ice Barrier 1 Phantasm Spiral Power 1 Kairyu-Shin's Dark Reef Extra Deck: Whatever you want, really. Just toss in a Bahamut Shark and a Toadally Awesome if you have it, cause that comes up sometimes.
1:09:20 I noticed, and I appreciate you changed it to day 2. With how long these go on for at times, it's nice to know which session you've been in to understand a bit more of how you're playing and what's the context for deck changes and the like.
@@ashikjaman1940 funnily enough, since Lantern and Buzzsaw count as 3/5 for Xyz, and Abyss and Crystal count as 3/4 and become level 4 anyway, not really
@@ashikjaman1940 I run three of each though? They’re kinda the best starters in the deck. Plus, Buzzsaw searches Lantern, Abyss searches any of em, and Abyss and Crystal are super good extenders
This is my first time watching HardLeg and I have no idea where he’s been all my life 😭🤧 I love Umi control so I’m glad this was my first video of his !!
This deck is literally "If Sea Stealth Attack was so good, then why isn't there a Sea Stealth II?" Also... Jelly fishing, Jelly Fishing, Jelly Fishing!
Jolly Roger Bay is one of my favourite Mario songs. So peaceful and beautiful and the remix you used is equally so. Also the Unending Nightmare bit made me laugh more than once.
Just a thought, it may be a good choice to run a non-water kaiju in this deck so that you can clog up the non-water summon while kairyu shin is on the field at least for main phase one given that they can crash it during the battle phase.
I don't think Kaijus are a good inclusion in this deck. Just a bit too bricky. The only reason we play the one Gamaciel is because it's searchable with Ice Barrier if you happen to go up against something like @ignister.
Thanks for the ideas, I have a pretty good version of this deck before I saw your video and this helped fix some issues I was having of updating my childhood deck.
Hey Joe congrats, I use umi control and you didn't use the whale to its full potential. When it's destroyed by battle or card effect you can summon a lv 7 or lower warrior water monster to the field or add it to your hand. From my experience you can either use it to summon legendary fisherman 2, and when it's destroyed get legendary fisherman 3. Or you can summon General raiho of the ice barrier. If he gets destroyed, you can just keep cycling between the whale and raiho as long as you have sea stealth 2. Raiho makes it where you opponent has to discard a card to activate monster effects on the field otherwise its negated, and its not once per turn.
Apparently this has synergy with swordsoul tenyi and pacifis, I saw someone playing a version that didn't depend that much on the floodgate effect of kairyu shin.
Yay floodgates. And ones that use actual WATER for once! I'd normally puke at this egregious display of Stun strats, but they way it's done in this almost looks tolerable if you understand how it works enough to deal with it. Though more importantly was how entertaining the pack pulling was. Ocean Man indeed.
Thank you Joe for reminding me why getting to Diamond 1 is something I never ever wish to do: there won't be anything but pain and agony because birds and out of nowhere numeron and eldlich fester on its surroundings. Branded at least is more interactive than them.
I literally just finished an Umi control deck the other day and have been beefing it in the Duelists Cup. I'll be happy to see one of my fave yugi tubers take it as high as possible!
That gravekeepee deck was actually another youtuber lol. He oddly enough was recommended when this video came out and is card for card the same as you shown
I think you just do both janky and competetive episodes! Just throw in a serious episode like this once in a while, play something meta and be serious from the start, but definitly keep some goofy episodes
I believe, your "free will" is determined by your preparation. I dont know if there is a "go second" deck version of umi control, but i am sure, there is a way to optimize this deck or use it as an engine to go into more serious stuff, whenever the situation demands it to. So in the perspective of oneself being in an certain situation, the free will seems not apparent. For me, an mtg player, free will is what determines most of the matches, because decisions and reading your enemy is what mostly determines the outcome of an game (when both have the same financial conditions to play under).
Man hardleg I really apprrciate you breaking even on a youtube channel! Its how we know you really do this because you love it and arent in it for the money!
I don't really see Kairyu-Shin as a traditional monster floodgate, like VFD for example, because by itself it doesn't do anything aside from searching making Umi Control a pretty balanced deck. I mean it leaves so many ways to counter it since Jellyfish is typically your only negate all your opponent has to do is remove Umi (preferably via non-destruction). Also leave Leafplace Plaice alone! He's trying his best.
Would've kept Sea Stealth Attack at 3. Really protects backrow and monsters when needed, and recurs your "Umi" from GY. Also some interesting interactions with Foolish Burial Goods. Warrior of Atlantis at 2, since 3 can get bricky. Sea Stealth II at 2, since you need as many "Umi" as you could get. Ice Barrier at 2 because lol. Also pairs well with Icejade Tremora... 2x Icejade Tremora for when you brick, or when your Physalia gets negated but need to summon Ocean King. ALSO, an Ice Barrier target.
I like umi control mainly because it is the only floodgate control deck that is actually balance. The combos are simple and it's easy to stop the floodgate if you out the kiryu-shin. Which is easy with a meta that has kaijus, skill drain, imperm and that stupid floowandereeze spell card.
I had never seen the kairu shin monster before even in decks where I'd seen sea stealth attack and stuff, this makes me see why I have never seen some of these cards haha
As piss boring as this deck and it's floodgate turbo playstyle is, I love the energy you bring and the singing especially and you make it worth a rewatch
I went in expecting Audi a control, a fun time to be had by all! I am now dealing with the philosophical debate of free will via Master Duel. Only HardLeg, baby.
I am a real sucker for water archetypes so umi control is one of my new favourite decks, but i gotta say, it also combines with one of my favourite archetypes of all time, Swordsoul, pretty well. also, the sheer number of players who have no idea what the second effect of Sea Stealth Attack is will always make me laugh
Umi Control. The more I play YGO, the more I realize I am a wonderful person who enjoys floodgates. The biggest problem YGO players have is playing YGO. Decks like Umi Control, help solve the problem, by not allowing your opponent to play YGO. You are helping to solve the addiction that too many members of the community suffer from. Keep doing such good work to help the YGO community stop suffering under the yoke of YGO.
Regarding your concern with free will and existential dread, you have to change your view of the world. If I can spend the duel chuckling like a Bond villain, while my wife looks on wondering if I have lost my mind I know I have done a good job. If I spend the duel ruminating how my plans have been foiled, it stinks, but the thought of chuckling maniacally in the future drives me onward. Remember it is all for a good purpose, to stop others from suffering from playing YGO.
I didn't expect to be proven that free will is an illusion on a Hardleg Umi deck video. 10/10 with rice
It’s not a matter of free will. It’s a matter of the deck auto piloting. The deck kinda plays itself and you have very little decision making to actually do.
Just as I couldnt take my hardleg ladder climb withdrawal anymore this video dropped, Hardleg truly does provide
1:30:00
This duel doesn't answer the question "Does Hardleg have Free Will" but it does pose the question, "If master duel players have Free Will, will they make the *wrong* decision" and the answer is, *yes, yes they will*
the laugh of pure, manic joy at the end was fantastic
58:00 that bit and that transition are so good lol

10:14 HOLY SHIT I DIDN'T KNOW HARDLEG WAS SO GOOD AT SINGING! HE SOUNDS SO GOOD!!
He is a legit singer, idk how long you've been following but his videos always had his acapella music sprinkled in and it's been always so good
hardleg has some amazing singing bits in older epsidoes, it’s a sshame we don’t see it too often but it’s a treat every time it comes up
Pretty much every clip with unending nightmare was amazing lol and that ending was awesome
Ever since the start of the game, Umi and Stealth Sea Attack has been my favourite archetype, so it's really nice to see it still active today!
Hardleg has such a nice singing voice i would legitimately listen to a hardleg ocean man cover
I think alternating between bad decks, outdated decks, and new but overshadowed decks is a good direction for the series. As long as it is not a real top tier deck I think they will be fun. Great episode.
I am 3/4 through the video, I saw the bubble transitions coming 1.609 km away, but I was surprised to learn that the nightmare is unending.
Duel 153 Vs Zombie Floodgates. It was so satisfying seeing undending nightmare work. God that was a great stream!

Shoutout to Cvit who always makes some banger edits to these videos.
Man, I'd really like to see what a Hardleg ladder climb with Labrynth would look like. That's a deck that can run a ton of builds that might work better or worse at different points in the ladder. Playing Tenyis without immediately going into Swordsoul could also be interesting, as those have synergy with both the other Wyrm stuff and non-effect monsters.
I'd like to try it. Only time will tell if the Patrons actually vote for it though.
Always looking forward to HardLeg ladder climb. Good work. Hope to see more videos like these.
Ocean man take joe by the hand take him to the land where he understands
Congratulations on getting Umi & friends to Diamond 1. Some of those duels looked extremely rough if they were able to deal with the lockdown. Gotta say though, Unending Nightmare is definitely the unsung hero of this climb for sure.
As a new player, I randomly chose Umi as my first deck, very fun and strong to play
As someone who plays this deck a bunch, I've really grown to love Pacifis over A Legendary Ocean. Yeah, it's a bit harder to search, but those tokens are really valuable. Plus, you get to play Phantasm Spiral Power, a searchable Imperm! Also, SSA+Pacifis, for whatever reason, is really hard for Despia to break down, haha.
Got a deck list of that?

1 Phantasm Spiral Dragon
3 Kairyu-Shin
3 Electric Jellyfish
2 Doom Kraken
1 Mega Fortress Whale
1 Icejade Tremora (Good Synergy with Ice Barrier, and can unbrick you if you draw a big water monster)

The reason you run the water kaiju specifically is because you can search it. A non water kaiju is too inconsistent to use.
I don't think Kaijus are a good inclusion in this deck. Just a bit too bricky. The only reason we play the one Gamaciel is because it's searchable with Ice Barrier if you happen to go up against something like @ignister.
I love the naming in this game. Ocean Dragon Lord Kairyu-Shin Or 'Ocean Dragon Lord Ocean Dragon Lord' if you translate 'Kairyushin'
Thanks for the ideas, I have a pretty good version of this deck before I saw your video and this helped fix some issues I was having of updating my childhood deck.
"Okay, I activate my free will."
"Ash"
"...why did that work?"
man's having too much fun, by depriving him of fun. never thought something would be a fun, but it's fun, how fun...
This was so entertaining to watch. Behold the power of the feeeesh!!!!
Mako sure grew a great beard at sea!
Jokes aside, this is the kind of legacy support that's nice to see. This'll be a fun episode.
Unending nightmare is such a underrated beautiful card. Well done Joe.
honestly after some of those duels I'm considering just slapping it onto some of my decks
Or at least would if Maxx C didn't exist

The joy on your face when you made it to diamond one was exactly what it's like after having to grind lol..Nice one Joe good gaming 👍
Apparently this has synergy with swordsoul tenyi and pacifis, I saw someone playing a version that didn't depend that much on the floodgate effect of kairyu shin.

1:26:00 can we appreciate this player that went second and still did the FTK line pretending that they didn't have a battle phase
It's finally out. Wish I could watch these live but different time zones make that impossible
Dang this is some incredible editing in the intro alone.
I’m surprised it was this deck that made you question free will and other existential questions and not the madness that was Ojamas.
There must be some deep philosophical commentary on society that the floodgate deck is the one that did it.
That gravekeepee deck was actually another youtuber lol. He oddly enough was recommended when this video came out and is card for card the same as you shown

I really wanna see Hardleg use infernity climb ranked, mostly so I can learn the deck vicariously. lol
Man hardleg I really apprrciate you breaking even on a youtube channel! Its how we know you really do this because you love it and arent in it for the money!
I don't really see Kairyu-Shin as a traditional monster floodgate, like VFD for example, because by itself it doesn't do anything aside from searching making Umi Control a pretty balanced deck.

Would've kept Sea Stealth Attack at 3. Really protects backrow and monsters when needed, and recurs your "Umi" from GY. Also some interesting interactions with Foolish Burial Goods.
Warrior of Atlantis at 2, since 3 can get bricky.
Sea Stealth II at 2, since you need as many "Umi" as you could get.
Ice Barrier at 2 because lol. Also pairs well with Icejade Tremora...
2x Icejade Tremora for when you brick, or when your Physalia gets negated but need to summon Ocean King. ALSO, an Ice Barrier target.

53:38 nooo not the ultra-rare fortress whale
Me sober enjoys the duels. Me drunk just listens to fun dire dire docks moo-zeek!
Truly an oceanic task and umiazing success. I tip my hat off to you, good sir!
I like umi control mainly because it is the only floodgate control deck that is actually balance. The combos are simple and it's easy to stop the floodgate if you out the kiryu-shin. Which is easy with a meta that has kaijus, skill drain, imperm and that stupid floowandereeze spell card.
I did not know hardleg could sing
I main this deck irl and in master duel. This video made me buy 18 copies of Unending Nightmare. Thanks for the spicy tech option!
oh how i love these ladder climb vids
WHEN THE NIGHTMARE IS UNENDING
I had never seen the kairu shin monster before even in decks where I'd seen sea stealth attack and stuff, this makes me see why I have never seen some of these cards haha

"what is this, Japanese Duellogs?" The master of jank gimmick decks has many students, it seems
I went in expecting Audi a control, a fun time to be had by all!
I am now dealing with the philosophical debate of free will via Master Duel. Only HardLeg, baby.
I would jump on uncharted waters with you as my captain, if you catch my drift.
u could try to climb with predaplants now that they have more support
I love fish sonar. Some may not, i however, do.
This beautiful man and his beautiful shirts and words.
The boat won me a lot of duels, because of the direct attack effect. Not using anything for when it pops, though. Tried it, but it rarely comes up
What an absolute wild ride, but you made it to the top!
When people think of what a yugioh player looks like, this is it
Is it? I imagine they'd think of someone with bigger, more silly, anime hair.
What have you done Joe! You were supposed to destroy the floodgates, not become them...
I did both, once I got Unending Nightmare in my deck.
Can't believe he's teaching the fish to TCBOO
Honestly, mad props to the Valyantz player in Diamond 2 xD
I am a real sucker for water archetypes so umi control is one of my new favourite decks, but i gotta say, it also combines with one of my favourite archetypes of all time, Swordsoul, pretty well. also, the sheer number of players who have no idea what the second effect of Sea Stealth Attack is will always make me laugh
Simple answer to if free will exists or not:
I could stop watching this video. The end
I've been waiting for this Video
It's kind of crazy that this deck disappeared from the face of the Earth. Good since it's a floodgate deck but still.
My man finally did it. Proud of you son
I think for another deck to play is the Arcana Knights or Poker Knights
I did not expect to see free will be tested in this video.
I am surprised you didn't try Yorishiro of the Aqua as recursion in the deck.
I seriously considered it, but it doesn't really do much for the deck.
the number one hard leg in the business.
I love this pack. It got me into Marincess. Which is the only good one among the elemental cyberse decks
Damn you can sing man
Icejade Agergine , Icejade Eriosion, Icejade cradle, Abyss shark, and Crstal shark will make the deck MUCH better
Need to see a morphtronic deck ladder climb
I'm trying to think of decks with decisions that might be even a little good... Orcust, maybe?
I was very lucky with this pack, I got 3 kairyu shin in the first 10 boosters I opened.
