seriously. this is by far the best version of an "a player rates unknown card game cards".
1. because the game mechanics got explained. (other videos with 0 context are just guessing games with 0 "skill" )
2. the guesser is actually interested (taking notes), takes earlier cards in consideration and thinks about it.
this was just super interesting to watch.
This is why I, casual hearthstone enjoyer love the format. CGB is a great guest and like Rarran, he has a great way to reconstruct the underlying principles of a game.
Yeah, the main difference with most other similar videos is that CGB is a real expert of card games mechanics being 30 years into playing control in the first and arguably deepest tcg with a very competitive mindset.
I've seen lsv and frank Karsten do these with yu gi oh that were really well done, but largely I agree
@@pietrociompi5883 Absolutely
This!
These videos are only truly interesting if the guesser is given enough context as they go to try to make educated guesses at the system as a whole.
The idea of writing "Loses to Jinzo" under every new busted trap card that's releasing is so fuckin funny to me
The funny thing is, some of them don't even, Transaction Rollback GY effect is a peak "beats Jinzo" card
Radiates "dies to doomblade" energy
@@syrelian How?
@@Eidenhoekrollback is primarily used for its GY effect unless it’s a mirror
@@TrueGamer22887 So Jinzo being active doesn't negate the trap activating from the graveyard?
"whats the cost to play them?"
"the card."
is such a perfect way to describe how resources work in yugioh lol
If your playing in the real world and are competitive then it costs your wallet and soul to play
@@memerthedealernah, it's just € 1300 for a snake-eye deck, it's not that much at all. You can only pay for rent, groceries and bills for a month with that money, you don't really need it.
@@unaffectedbycardeffects9152 Right? And they said i was crazy for selling my kidney
@@unaffectedbycardeffects9152just to get beat by a kid at locals
It's like when someone asks me why I can special summon Rikka Princess, I just say "because she exists" or "because she's in my hand" because she doesn't have any cost or restriction on the summon
-Ok, you can have up to 3 of them in a deck, how big is a deck?
- 40 cards
...
-"Why would you not just play 3 of this in every deck?"
-Al right wrap it up guys, the man has understood Yugioh.
Tbf, free card draw is the single best thing in every TCG ever made. This card is busted in every game but Uno
@@Staunomat I mean ptcg has no cost discard hand draw 7s so I think everything just loses to that lol
@@Staunomat actualy thats not true. Vampire The Eternal Struggle (wich is still the second oldest ccg in active, just behing magic).
Card draw its ok, but not the best. And thats because VTES dont have a draw fase, by rule after youbplay a card, you draw a replacment. So the most important thing in VTES its Hand Size.
Years ago, in Magic, WotC released a card called Manamorphose which cost two mana, specifically red or green. The card was an instant that produced two mana, specifically 1 red and 1 green, and let you draw a card. So, while that card was in standard, every deck that ran red or green could essentially be a 56-card deck. I don't even think it saw any serious tournament play, despite being essentially a free card.
@@Staunomat Decipher, years ago, had a much different approach to their games. Star Wars, which came out about a year after Magic and for a time was the second most popular card game, used a mechanic where your resource was measured in cards. You'd deal them one at a time from your deck into a separate pile to track how much you can afford to play at any time, and it can build up over multiple turns, however, at the end of your turn, you could draw any number of them, so the more cards you drew, the less you could afford to do for now. When Decipher released Lord of the Rings, their draw was simply "refill your hand" each turn, so the more you played, the more you drew, which became something of a balancing act, as you needed to design a deck that reliably cycled through 3-5 cards per turn, otherwise you would never get through your entire deck, but if it cycled too fast, you could end up with no resources to finish the game. I once built a 120-card deck that decked itself 2/3 of the way through the game... and then won.
It kind of depends on the nature of the game. With many TCGs only drawing one card per turn, every additional card you get to draw is huge, but in a game where you regularly draw close to five per turn, drawing one additional card isn't nearly as important. It's still useful, but by no means as ridiculous as something like Pot of Greed.
Rarran is like Nick Fury assembling the Card Game Avengers.
There was an idea, called the Avengers Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable card gamers to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work against each other when we needed them to, to rate the cards that we never could.
took the words right out of my mouth. (Fingers? Keyboard?)
This comment wins for the day.
He straight up created an entire category of TCG videos, haha.
They all realized that the crossover content mill was a huge mutual benefit to all of them, driving subscribers to the other channels and interest in the other big card games. Just wholesome engagement, Rarran really helped the whole community with pushing this format.
"Now that Pot of Greed isn't legal, how do I recover?!" He has the Yugioh mindset! Lmao. This is my favourite episode of the series yet, this guest was brilliant, would absolutely love to see him on here again. Would adore seeing his mind get blown reading BLS. Hell, that has a cost, would love to see his reaction to something like Raigeki or Bigfoot!
So I’ve watched a lot of CGB because he and Rarran collab a lot together.
CGB is my favorite guy to see videos from and with. He’s very good at telling stories from the history of MTG whenever somebody else is trying to rate an MTG card, and he’s hilarious when he’s the one doing the guessing.
Guy is fantastic, and I’ve never clicked a Cimo video so fast before. I was like, “Yo, I GOTTA see what CGB says about this game.”
The camera cutting to CGB holding a notebook and pen after Cimo finished explaining the card is comedy gold
I think he's actually taking notes too
@@ajkcool He legit seems interested in the game itself!
@@ajkcool You kind of have to from any other system compared to this.
He does that with Hearthstone too, he's laying the groundwork for future videos.
Cmon hes a blue mage he would love yugioh lol @zephshoir
Cgb tapping into the redditor mind and saying “loses to jinzo” feels like a fitting sequel to “dies to doomblade”
Loses to "Spell Canceller" 😅
Showing CGB the Extra deck is going to be like giving a Victorian era child a bag of Takis
Bag of what?
@@diooverheaven6561Victorian era child spotted
Imagine you have 15 companions EVERY GAME.
@@georgb710 And with no deckbuilding restrictions
@@ulisesmunguia8715 admittedly the companion deckbuilding ‘restrictions’ ARE deceptively easy
"if in Magic, the only way of rotating decks was by banning them, the players would be insanely pissed!"
yes, that is precisely how some of us feel when cards get banned. sometimes unfairly or as collateral damage of another deck
I remember how they not wanted to ban Hogaak
Magic turn 1: "I play a land and pass."
Yu-Gi-Oh turn 1:"I play my entire hand and fuck you."
Magic's enternal format: I play my entire hand, fuck you.
Entire hand psh I'll play half my deck
"I play 3/4 of my deck and take yours too."
@ConeJellos to be fair to Magic when you compare it to Yu-Gi-Oh, an eternal format game, you need to compare it to Magic's eternal formats, Vintage, Legacy, and Commander. For each of those at their most competitive a player can take multiple actions that can win the game turn 1, some combos can even win on turn 0 which is not technically a thing but refers to a non active player making actions before the active player's standby phase.
In the Vintage or Legacy formats in Magic, you play your whole hand similar to Yu-Gi-Oh. The difference in speed has more to do with the fact that magic has multiple different formats, compared to Yu-Gi-Oh where only the Legacy format exists.
"F this I need my glasses," is a very relatable phrase when I look at YGO cards and I don't wear glasses lol
Seems the opposite of relatable to me. Everyone I've ever seen with glasses who needs to read small text, takes off or looks above their glasses.
Myself included.
I am literally right now on the TH-cam app without my glasses on because the text is too small otherwise and I don't like the layout if I modify the GUI size.
@@RunicSigils lol is the your first time realizing the difference between short-sighted and long-sighted folks?
"Does it say it can't?" and it's variants are quickly becoming Cimo's favorite phrase, right next to *HOWEVER*
It works so well. Not to 'spoil' things. It's a good middle ground and makes it funny for us
Add also, "I'm going to blow your mind."
@@SpecterVonBaren and then "...yeah this card actually wasn't that good."

Don't forget ".... X is a funny card, back in the day..."
“It loses to Jinzo” is now my new way of making fun of trap cards, that was hilarious 😂
19:20 "The only way that it isn't banned, is if that you make a card that says Draw 3"
Imagine if the next card was Graceful Charity...
Fun fact there is a card that is unlimited in Yugioh, that can be played in any deck and let's you draw 3 cards.
My thoughts exactly 😂😂
@@resphantom yeah there’s at least a handful that let you draw 3
@@Helminiack Yeah, but none as generic and legal as "Performapal Popperup".
The downside being that you pay 1000LP per card in your hand and you have to discard up to 3 cards for initial cost.
@@resphantomwhich one is it again?
"NOW THAT POT OF GREED ISN'T LEGAL, HOW DO I RECOVER?!"
- Every TCG player since October 2005 😂😭
I think Cimo is doing a very good job of gradually introducing all the card types of ygo and set a good foundation of understanding, which we don't often see in this type of video.
That's really helpful for both the reacting player and viewers who don't know the basic rules!
It also sets the floor to smack him with how modern yugioh works, because old yugioh and modern yugioh is like looking at The Pyramid of Giza and the Bas pro shop pyramid stting next to each other.
@@598019001I don't know why but you got me thinking about miniminuteman
Honestly really glad I clicked on this. I have watched multiple Rarran Yu-Gi-Oh vids, but I had no baseline knowledge, so it has been hard to follow some stuff, like how the hell do battle phases go, etc. Rarran has some baseline knowledge so not everything was explained to us viewers who have 0 knowledge.
Also this vid is kinda funny, since I have not played Yu-Gi-Oh nor Magic.
Yeah, Cimo's pretty great at teaching Yugioh to people.
I love "FOR FREE?!" so much. It's funny every single time.
Yeah, ngl, his reactions to the cards, how they work
Him deciding to take notes at the start
The "well, thats free" "aaand it costs nothing" is also freaking gold
"You guys are insane"
Hahahahahah yeeeah... You have no idea...
@@valleyard8674 I always find it fun to normal summon a 1 star card and then it has more than 10 000 ATK

"Wha... HOW? What's their problem with balancing the game?"
The "Oh God" as he reveals that Yugioh is an eternal format is out of such genuine fear lmao
"YEP- ANYWAAAY..."
I dont play magic but man CGB is such a nice guest. He knows nothing about the game but is trying is best and honestly did pretty well. Wouldn't mind more of such collabs 😊
We would expect nothing less from such a connoisseur of Mesa Falcon
Mesa falcon guy truly a goat
Never played magic in my life but i Like his content, its so good
I am the bone
I wholeheartedly agree. I don't know this man, and I don't play Magic. However, I thought he communicated very well and very clearly, and his reactions were so authentic and genuine. I hope Cimo invites him again.
Cimo - now these monsters are also spells.
'well thats just confusing'
Cimo - oh and they can all come out at once with a pendulum
* shocked pikachu face *
We got Mesa Falcon Guy himself for this video! Hopefully we will have him some more in future videos. Wait until he learns Yugioh has a 15 card commander zone!
Lmao, that is a super funny way to put it XD
The mirror force section was dead on, he figured it out so well, and explained what everyone thinks when there’s a mystery facedown
Mirror Force is basically a way better version of Settle the Wreckage.
And Settle the Wreckage is a big ol meme, because everyone remembers getting utterly blown out by it. If you just hold up four mana, two of which are white, every turn in a format where it's in rotation, nobody is going to swing aggressively, no matter what kind of deck you have, because you might be running one copy and it might be in your hand.
Making it better and making it slottable in literally every deck is madness.
@@Biscotumno. Watching a dude go through his deck 20 times for his synchro whatever special summon congaline is madness.
Don't forget to tell him that every monster has taunt, it feels like cgb thinks you can choose to attack face or a monster.
YUP... It's not really fair to omit glaringly critical information like that about how the game itself works when they express belief about it working that way while explaining other mechanics of the game since it also implies confirmation of their understanding which isn't correct.
@@nykthosacolyte5710That makes it sound like he did it intentionally lol.
Yes I think Cimo just didn't clock what he was describing
@@skeletonwar4445 it' more so it's a glaring oversight especially we he's mentioned it several times and should have clicked that he wasn't understanding it when he went with what 3 monsters in a row without getting corrected despite mentioning it
@@nykthosacolyte5710 Honestly, I hadn't clocked he hadn't quite had that click despite the explanation of combat flow until fucking Book of Moon, despite knowing its a common failure to grasp for these videos, not even Toll, Book of Moon, so I think it was pretty reasonable error, and the one time it did come up clear enough, Cimo was already running on a different element and probably didn't even hear it
I've seen these types of videos between Magic, Hearthstone, YuGiOh, and Pokemon, but I must say that this particular video - especially with these two players - has got to be one of the highest quality ones of this genre I've seen to date. Because there's actually context for how the game is played and the decision making and the player is making an informed choice.
CGB also does a great job of absorbing info he's learned from past cards and evolving his understanding of the game to make even better calls going forward - and that's not even mentioning how good he is at card analysis from a purely game-design standpoint.
Really great list of cards to show a newcomer; incredible guest who really could dissect and vocalize his analysis and explain his viewpoint well enough that you can follow his thoughts even if his final answer was incorrect. Even if he was wrong about it being good/bad or banned/legal, his analysis of the card itself was almost always spot on and the reasonings for everything was always top notch and it's _purely_ the lack of context of the greater metagame and the card library that ultimately led him to the wrong answers in the few times he was wrong.
I really hope we bring CGB back for more of these and get into more unusual cards and archetypes, because the man really had it on lock in terms of making informed choices.
How I explain traps to Magic players:
They're instant speed sorceries with summoning sickness
it's just an instant with foretell lol
@@asterism343 that assumes I know what foretell is...
@@MrSimpsondennis It's basically the Magic version of Setting a spell or trap card facedown.
@@MrSimpsondennisYou banish it face-down and you can later cast it for its Foretell cost
@@dudono1744 correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't foretell show your opponent the card you're foretelling? Setting a card in ygo hides the card

"This card is very pedestrian"
Kaiba on suicide watch after ruining families to get his hands on 3 copies of it and destroy the fourth.
Yugioh to magic is like a Combo deck meets a Combo deck but during the middle of a typical MTG game. You pop off, then your opponent pops off and whoever pops off better or responds better wins.
I think MBT once described YuGiOh as "Everyone just plays Storm"
If Hearthstone is like checkers and MTG is like chess, then YuGiOh is like a fighting game.
You need to know your combo's and any potential opponents combo's, knowing when in an opponents move it is best to block or counter. All of these combo's change depending on the character (archetype) your opponent is playing, so better learn a lot of them. Knowing when and how to stop your opponents combo's can be the difference between instant losing or a long drawn out slug fest.
The last like applies to basically every single card game in existence
@@rolebo1 this is honestly the best descriptor I heard and I'm like. "Yeah, that sounds about right."
@@rolebo1 everything's a ToD but it's just knowing what's safe on block or not and just the burst/bait the burst mindgame lmao
You should Explain that in yugioh you have to attack through monsters first to get to opponent's lifepoints unless otherwise stated by an effect. I thiink explaining this would help. In magic monsters can just swing directly naturally, which doesn't translate quite the same.
This is exactly why he thought Robbin Goblin was insane.
It's funny how in Magic terms, every monster (unless stated otherwise) in Yu-Gi-Oh has:
•Haste
•Trample
•Fight
Meanwhile, Defense Position negates Trample, unless the attacker has Piercing.
Every time Cimo says "Does it say you can't?" it reminds me of the ref from Air Bud. "Ain't no rule says the dog can't play."
Except there is. Participants in interscholastic athletic activities must be enrolled half time or more in the school they represent with some exceptions, none of which Air Bud qualifies for.
(Would you be surprised to hear I learned this from a Vsauce tangent?)
@@Quiltfish
No, I'm not surprised because I think I've watched that same tangent.
@Quiltfish so it's a semantic thing. He should have said "Ain't no rule says A dog cant play." Then they would have just needed to enroll the doggo lol
I really like that you actually explained the game mechanics to him and helped him understand what he was commenting on, the entire process was very enjoyable to watch
It was really impressive how fast CGB understood the implications of every card having 0 cost. I hope he comes back for more of this!
What if I told you that we have 0 attack power, french vanilla creatures that see play just because they cost 0 mana?

One of the best book of moon tips I've received was "face down cards don't have effects".
This means that you can bypass cards with indestructible by flipping them and destroying them outside of combat.
The counters to this are usually via traps or monster effects, but usually the opponent is scouting for your big play. They counter this and might not have enough to stop you, or they don't and are effectively down one boss monster for the turn.
I love his reaction to the explanation of how this game works. It not that he's dumb, it's more like Konami is a toxic relationship.
He's not dumb, the game is just weird
I've watched quite a few of these types of videos, and this is the first one where the game actually gets explained well enough for me to have an idea of how Yugioh is played. Great work
yea a lot of these sort of vids dnt really get the game explained well frequently leaving out crucial info that is relevant at hand but like the only thing that cimo forgot to mentioned to him is that atks cannot go to face if the opponent has anything out, their monster zones need to be empty to be able to direct atk
40:00 "If you, in the future, show me a card that's exactly this but two mana cheaper, I'm gonna be Pissed"
*Cimoo quietly puts away Denko Sekka* "I don't know what you mean. good sir."
Denko Sekka: (nervous sweating)
"Turning rescources into nonsense" has to be the best description of ygo i've ever heard
book of moon is weird to evaluate without a lot of context.
It is
- a combat-style trick to prevent an opponent's attack
- a way to turn off continuous effects of opponent's monsters
- a way to dodge opponent's interaction that interacts with face-up monsters (infinite impermanence, etc.)
- a way to prevent opponents from using ignition effects
- a way to block off a monster from all extra deck mechanics except fusion monsters (and ghostrick festival technically)
- a way to re-use flip-style effects (used to be common, but is pretty niche in the modern format)
It is not that it is particularly good at any of these, but that it is one card that has so many ways it can be used with just 1 simple effect. Even though link monsters are immune to it, it becomes really powerful when you need varied interaction, and much less powerful when you need a specific form of interaction, since other cards are usually better at any specific goal.
Yeah, none of its individual use cases are insane but it is just incredibly versatile
at the end of the day BoM is just a really powerful jack of all trades card that keeps popping off every now and then, it pays to be the no.2 or 3 in many scenarios rather than being no.1 on a specific one
I think if he noticed you could book of moon one of your monsters out of a mirror force then he would have realized the deeper interactions at play, at least in the "old school Yu-Gi-Oh" sense.
Book of Moon is a very blue-ish card in many ways, but he interpreted it more like a red.
@@Bingo_Bango_ Using just these cards, flip your monster in response to mirror force or snatch steal. turn off jinzo and a combat trick
It is impressive how much of the games concepts, terms and basic metas he guessed correctly just by reading some of the early cards.
I also agree about Mirror Force.
Should never have been banned because it slowed the game down in a good way and encouraged some level of mind games.
Meanwhile Raigeki and Dark Hole exist and do not care about what position any monster is in, nor do they care about any form of interactivity. Cast from hand- nuke board. I know they were also banned and limited at various stages, but nah.
Mirror Force’s ban was 100% never justified.
It honestly fair when both players have access to 3. Plus typically in Yugioh holding onto cards is a bad move so I think in most cases people just trade the 1 for 1.
@@bijuutamer729 I think 1 is the right number. 3 makes it so no other trap cards can be considered in your deck because of the opportunity cost. Power Traps at 1 like Torrential as well contribute better to the mind game and the "proceed but with caution" mentality of old yugioh.
There were mirror force equivalents that offered the same mind game with a lower reward so i don't think it matters much.
Mirror Force is the most Yugioh card ever printed. Banning it only signals that they don't know what makes Yugioh fun. If you get owned by Mirror Force, it's your own fault. Literal perfect card design.
It was banned because they banned every non reciprocal board wipe. Then they brought it back the next list.
Man it will be funny once he finds out theres not even just turn 1 kills... but also turn 0 kills
I love seeing the Rarran Extended Cinematic Universe all meet up
Imagine if the Continuous Trap you showed him was Imperial Order. He recognizes that of course it has to be banned, you tell him that it is, then tell him that this is the errata'd version and that the original was even more busted.
Or say it got errated, "so is it legal?" , "no it got banned again"
This is like the best of these. I always want people to start with old cards instead of jumping in the deep end.
For real, yeah, like the ones Farfa does immediately go to modern cards with paragraphs of text where the 'answer' to whether they're good or bad is one sentence that requires explanation and context
I think throwing a person in the deep end /can/ be funny.
For example, showing someone a modern yugioh card first just to get a big reaction can be a pretty hilarious joke. That said, I do think rolling back to old cards after is much better for the overall video.
21:37 remembered seeing a video where someone rates pokemon cards and the pokemon player said a draw 3 card was bad
Drawing cards in pokemon tcg isnt at a premium because the main resource in that game isnt cards but the energy cost of the pokemon attacks.

@@prophetedubaroque5136 The one guy of APS predicted that FIRE would have its time and he was spot on.
This video was the best "showing another TCG player cards from a different game" video. I feel like a lot of other videos either throw the guesser to the wolves and have them basically just try to assess cards blind, or go way too handholdy and don't let them assess the cards themselves. This video had the perfect balance of explanation but also letting him sus out the cards himself. And CGB was a great guest and asked a lot of really good questions.
After that reaction to Pot of greed, I can't wait to see more of this guy! LMAO
CGB is a charm and an honor to have around for a collab.
I follow a lot of variety of card game content creators, and so I’ve seen him and Rarran interact a ton together.
I’m so glad he got to come on to Cimo’s channel and experience the insanity that is YuGiOh after Rarran has mentioned stuff about the game to him in passing.
CGB is going to show up to his first Yu-Gi-Oh game with his Robbin Goblin deck and be very surprised 😂
I think what he didn't get about it is that dealing face damage with monsters isn't all that easy/common, unless you're already winning.
I think he also misunderstood that you can't attack the face any time. He might think you can bypass monsters if you want. If you could, that would indeed be pretty OP.
I get the sense that Yugioh episodes were gung-ho about explaining pot of greed because, like CGB, no one could actually see the goddamn text on the card.
As a Magic and Yugi player, this is one of the most enterteining video I have ever watched, CGB logic is absolutely on point, its clear why he's such a good player. Kudos for explaining the mechanics midway in a way that his answers didn't have to be random with 0 context and for picking cards that build said context
Looking forward for the next episode where he has to rate a snake eyes 30 line of text card lmao
The moment Cov said "For free???" 👉👈 at PoG

"The only way that this isn't banned is that you make a card that says [draw 3]"

Finally, a Magic player who truly understands just how broken Pot of Greed is.
There's a less broken banned card in magic
@shadow-faye And yet, this guy is the only one I've seen so far that gives an appropriate response to seeing Pot of Greed.
No one ever show CGB Pokémon cards “draw 7” isn’t even unheard of
Eeeeeeeeeh, it's not a great comparison really, there's opportunity cost in the cards. The draw 3 supporters are pretty bad for example.
MtG also has draw 7s. Several of them. It's a lot more tame when tied to a resource though.
@@dontmisunderstand6041 Well i mean most wheels are either too good they're banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage (Windfall, Timetwister, Memory Jar, etc) , require setup or build arounds to be good and therefore fine (Echo of Eons, Day's Undoing, etc), or just bad because they're expensive/have a massive downside (Time Reversal, Magus of the Wheel, etc). Its very hard to hit the strong enough to be played bad enough to not be busted. There are only 49 blatant draw 7s in all of magic and most of them haven't seen competitive play.
@@MrMarnel I think its important to recall that Oak and shit were not "Supporters" at launch, you could just wheel through all four of them in a single turn
@syrelian ah I remember those days back when evolving ment you didn't know what you are doing. It's also good to remember that cards like oak can be used as the last card in hand so you completely negate the discard effect as well
I always love when someone asks you absolutely valid questions about costs or restrictions and you just go "Does it say that"
Literally never gets old
I don't think he ever understood that you can't attack directly when monsters are on field in yugioh
i mean, that's how it works in magic
@@blackwing1362 No it isn't...?
In MtG the defending player chooses whether any of their creatures block
@blackwing1362 in Magic, you ONLY attack your opponent directly. You cannot attack your opponent's creatures. You just swing at their face and they decide whether their dudes will block your attack or not.
It's not that he didn't understand. He wasn't told. The host is the one who didn't understand because at one point he said attacking in the face and the host didn't say that it won't work if there is a monster.
It was also never explained to him that there's a limit to the amount of each card you can have on the field, which isn't the case in Magic
53:21 The way it cuts to CGB staring, wide-eyed and he just "...What?" With fear in his voice.
Seing his reaction to pot of greed, maybe magic and yugioh players aren't so different after all 😂
"Come to MTG, we have real Timmy cards" was a quality line
Back when Five headed dragon was good...
He reacts like an american getting into a European hospital for the first time.
"You're telling me this is free?"
"AND you all pay LESS in taxes for it TOO??"
Cimo: "This is what we call a vanilla card"
CGB 5 mins later: "I'm getting the impression that this is a vanilla creature"
You gotta get this guy back and show him more modern cards, especially extra deck monsters.
I need to see him try to wrap his head around Synchros and Pendulums
I wanna see the early Synchros and their inability to have hard once per turns or non broken effects.
And then Flashbang him with Nirvana High-Paladin, and never explain pendulums.
@@GrugGangGrugGang nah just show him something like Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon keep it simple for them
and Toons lol
CGB is an amazing guy to collab with IMO.
He’s super knowledgeable, and he loves to learn I feel. Like he’s literally writing notes about this whacky card game while doing this video.
He’s also one of the strongest people I’ve seen at analyzing card games. I mean, look at the way he analyzed some of these cards. He was able to understand that these cards would be absolutely stupid in MTG but was able to talk through fake game states WITHOUT EVER HAVING SEEN A GAME PLAYED. Like wtf.
Could you imagine trying to rate MTG cards without having any prior knowledge of how that game works at all? And being able to imagine board states and game scenarios that actually kinda make sense?! Like wtf he’s cracked, man.
If you have him back on (please do), make sure to tell him that all creatures in YGO essentially have Taunt. Based on a couple things he said, I think he's under the impression that you can always go face.
Rarran called Mesa Falcon guy. Lol
I love how popular these videos have become across so many channels.
Its just very entertaining to see people interact so openly about each others games busted cards.
Just imagined he just did "Enough of Genie of the lamp, time for Centurio-ion Auxila"
I'd quit then and there
Cimo, you’ve really figured out how to do this format of is card good from the perspective of another card game video perfectly!
I have to agree, especially for YuGiOh. I’ve seen other people basically copy Rarran’s format to a T, but it just doesn’t work as well in YuGiOh as it does with Magic and Hearthstone.
Cimo’s style of, “is/was the card any good and was it EVER banned” is the perfect way to handle things for YuGiOh because we don’t have set rotations. Old cards in Hearthstone and MTG can be called “good cards” despite being power crept today because they WERE good in their format before they rotated out, but in YuGiOh? I mean, there was a time when Bottomless was a good card that was limited to one copy. There was also a time when Summoned Skull and Gemini Elf were considered powerful possibly game winning cards.
I am glad he started with some very obvious cards though that are either still pretty good to this day or were always bad cards and not introduced any of the weird cards (yet) that were very good in the past but are now unplayable trash.
I LOVE that the mechanics of the game where clearly explained in the beginning. That way the cards could be evaluated properly instead of it turning into "rate this yugioh card as if it was an MTG card"
"What for free!?"
Starting to see where Yugioh went wrong and it was in 2002 when Pot of Greed was printed in the first set and both starter decks.
Like most TCGs, the launch years of "idk what balance is" absolutely defined some of how the game got wild in the future, YGO's case is a bit special imo, as many of the Really Fucked Up cards were not designed to be Played in A Real Card Game, they were plot devices of Kazuki Takahashi(RIP) for the Yugioh Manga as it spiraled into being a Card Game Manga and not a Variety Games Manga, which has very obvious repercussions, though its not like MtG Alpha was sinless, plenty of "What the fuck" cards over there
I can’t believe Cimo forgot my favorite OG card type - Ritual Spell 😂
51:40 I like that CGB says it's from 1996 because of the copyright at the bottom thinking that's when it was printed whereas that's just how far back the series copyright goes and Cimoooooooo doesn't even say anything about it LMAO
Cimo is so respectful of a guy, man.
He didn’t correct him on tribute summoning (CGB kept calling it “special summon” because it was “special” since it required a tribute)
My autistic ass would be like, “UHM ACKSUALLY ITS A TRIBUTE SUMMON”
I love how Cimo laughed shortly after covert said "Oh, there's interaction!"
Oh, you sweet summer child 🤣
La Jin was basically Chillwind Yeti. A vanilla creature that was pretty good when the game launched because of the limited card pool.
La Jinn is a legend
I think that's overstating it a bit. Yeti remained premium stats for the cost for a while (there were better 4s but not better stats without a downside).
La Jinn was immediately power crept, the only reason you kept it around for a bit was because he was in a starter deck and thus easy to get.
@@hannessteffenhagen61 Also just deck filling, year 1 monster beatdown did get power creep, but it took a while for that creep to get good enough to slide La Jinn entirely off the top cut(esp cause early players overlooked Jirai Gumo and Dark Elf for a good while, same as Solemn Judgement, people were too stingy with their LP at the time)
La Jinn wasn't genuinely power crept until later, not until 2000 became the high limit stat for normal monsters.
Ok, so you go second, you Cyber dragon, you snatch steal, and you tribute summon your best card, does opponent scoop, or is this just normal Yi-Gi-Oh?
If you are relying on tributes you probably won't survive to see your second turn
Yeah thats "normal" yu-gi-oh. The game hasn't been normal since 2010 but don't tell that to the fans
CGB has a great energy level for videos like this and they both work well off each other.
2001: most monsters are vanilla.
2024: most played monsters have effects.
Love the fact that Yu-Gi-Oh got CGB to wear his glasses and keep notes. His reaction to cards and the game rules in general were pretty funny also.
Cimo in every video:
Doesn’t say you can’t.
*evil laugh*
Love it 😂
Rarran singlehandedly brought peace to the cardgame community. We are all one now.
NOW MAKE EDISON AN OFFICIAL FORMAT IN MASTER DUEL, DO IT KONAMIO YOU COOOOOOWARDS!
One point that was left off about Witch of the Black Forrest was that you could use it as a tribute to summon a higher level monster and then use the effect to pull a particular monster you wanted from your deck. The effect trigger doesn't require it to die, just that it be sent from the field to the graveyard.
Table Hawk's entire reaction is realizing that everything in Yu-Gi-Oh truly is free real estate and i love it
"We've got 16 power creatures!"
*Marit Lage would like word*
2:49 This is pure gold. CGB, knowing absolutely nothing bout YuGiOh, basically summed up the feeling of the ENTIRE YuGiOh player-base in a single sentence. And Cimnooooo knew it.
Also Cimooooooo, may I recommend you do this with a Pokemon player too. Like TrickyGym or AzulGG
31:35 - My guy started learning about yugioh 30 minutes ago and already spotted the design flaw with the Infernity archetype
I’ve watched Rarran and CGB collabs, but I never knew CGB was this clueless about YuGiOh.
Rarran has told him how insane YuGiOh is, so I’d assume he’d have looked into it at least once but nah. You show him La Jinn and the man realizes how crazy we are. Bro, if you think playing a 4 power creature with haste for free is nutty, just wait till you see some of the combos possible LOL
“I summon 12,000 atk power in monsters, many of whom destroy your entire board and also have build in negates and/or protection effects all while refilling my hand. Response?”
He IS right though from some perspective I mean La Jinn being summoned to attack your opponent (if we say it’s roughly 1/5 of your total life) would be like going second in Hearthstone and summon a 0 mana 6/1 with charge.
I opened Exodia.
I know that he has a whole video series about this, but Cimo is really good at explaining Yu-Gi-Oh to beginners. I'm an MTG player with a very surface level understanding of Yu-Gi-Oh rules and this was a great intro/refresher course. (I watched the how to play yu gi oh series years ago out of curiosity)
As of the time I'm typing this, I'm just at when he was shown PoG, and genuinely, I think Cimo has the best format for sharing YuGiOh for non-YuGiOh players. Not only are you getting really entertaining guests, but you're informing them so well about historical context as well as in-game context. And seeing them understand how the game works at an intrinsically deeper way than just "here's card, any questions?" is quite important.
I feel like for returning guests (maybe at least video 3 of each guest or something), you should introduce them to archetypes; give them a glimpse into how 3-5 cards work together and let them evaluate how good the deck is.
I was an Yu-Gi-Oh player for the first maybe second or third generation I don't remember very well and lately I been trying to understand the game again and the new mechanics
Just letting you know that you explaining things slowly and giving examples helps to make sense again of the game
17:45 i was drinking coffee, and spit it all out after🤣
this is pure gold, thanks Rarran for putting all these funny as hell streamers together
One of the best of these types of videos, if seen so far! Great guest, really nice card selection and just the right amount of gradual rules introduction. I'm very much looking forward to the next one.
This was fun.
I suppose the one thing Cimo didn't mention that might have helped with the evaluation of a couple cards, is that in YGO, you can't just *decide* to attack directly / go face. In Hearthstone terminology: All monsters have Taunt.
Yeah, I was surprised he didn’t mention this at all, but I don’t think he caught on.
Man, I dont even play TCGs (though I used to collect magic a little bit as a kid in the 90s) but I absolutely love these videos. Not only do they serve as a great way to collaborate between creators who play different games, but they also help teach other people a bit about a game they might not know much about. I've certainly learned a ton about YGO throigh videos like this.
JUST WAIT TILL THIS GUY SEES FUSION, SYNCHRO, XYZS, PENDULUMS AND LINKS. HE'S GONNA SHIT.
He’s gotten SOME knowledge of the extra deck from talking with Rarran (they’ve collabed in the past and I’d be willing to bet Rarran introduced the two of them in some capacity), but not a lot.
I think the most Rarran explained was basically that the extra deck is like a free 15 card hand that you just have to meet some requirements to summon from, and he already had a heart attack from that LOL
I played Yugioh back before Pendulums and I'm still shocked at the power creep with the new mechanics...
I stopped playing when they announced pendulums. It's too much garbage tacked onto a game with already too much garbage tacked on. I'm fine with syncros and XYZ but fucks sake let's just change the whole field layout
Dude I want to commend you, this video was so well done! I dont okay Yu-Gi-Oh and your guest make it so easy to get by constantly translating to MTG terminology! Also thanks for taling the time to actually explain the cards and their strategies!
As somebody who put hundreds upon hundreds of hours into Eternal Duelist Soul as a kid and adamantly believed that Robbin Goblin was busted, I have a bit more insight on why it was actually trash. The main issue with it wasn't the prevalence of Spell/Trap removal (though that was *an* issue), but the fact that monsters just have too many attack points. When you're a beat down deck facing another beat down deck, you're not regularly attacking over your opponent's monsters. You may have a Gemini Elf on the field, but she's not doing any damage this turn because your opponent also has a Gemini Elf; there's parity with the monsters. Thus, the way you win is by using removal cards to destroy your opponent's monsters and attacking directly; that's the only way you're dealing battle damage. At that point, you're just dealing so much damage that the hand rip becomes irrelevant. Who cares if you trash three cards from your opponent's hand if you're killing them? For Robbin Goblin to be worth playing, you need to be capable of consistently hitting two or more cards with it, but if you are in a position where you can hit your opponent at least twice, you're already winning. Robbin Goblin is, at best, a win more card, and, at worst, a dead card. There are better things to put in your deck.
Yeah, it was this card and Ekibyo Drakmord that had kid me's evaluation thrown for a loop. I remember reading Ekibyo over and over again, finding it unfathomable that such a card could ever be considered balanced.
I had a good run with it in Spirit Caller, but early GX has enough weak effect monsters running around that you genuinely will be getting chip damages here and there, also Piercing exists so you can even rip through defensive plays
But its still very much a Playground Card, even if more viable as a Playground Card
I love the fact that rarran started this trend of differend CG creators collabin and iam all here for this. This is amazing please keep doing this. You bounce so well off of cgb and rarran
Solemn Judgement is actually apparently really good in the OCG right now as a side deck card for when you know you're going first because of Mulcharmy's meaning your opponent can effectively have 6 maxx c and it being a way to set up interruptions without special summoning lol
Maxx C is Yu gi ohs one ring huh
Additional stuff with witch of the black forest: You don't need to crash the monster to your opponent's. You can use it for tribute, fusion, synchro, and Links summoning and still proc its effect.
I love he literally takes notes XD bro just wants to make sure he keeps track of all this madness
First video I ever see of either of you two and I got to say it: it was really well made! Always a pleasure to discover great content like this. Both of you seem to be using your brain and I could play along as well, that's refreshing! I can only encourage you to keep producing videos that way!
