@@cuchutrainHey I'll take what I can get. Duel Links is the reason I was able to get back into Yugioh after a 10+ year hiatus. I genuinely disliked all the new summoning mechanics and speed of the modern game but Duel Links allowed me to play at a pace that let me learn all the mechanics and reminded me why Yugioh's so great. I still play it to this day. HOWEVER I don't think I could ever go to Master Duel or TCG cause the power level is so rediculous, it seems to boil down to "play Tears or don't play at all" every month, watch opponent do 30 minute long combos that effectively lock you out of the game on turn 1, and Konami seemingly deliberately introducing powercreep to the game to get people to buy more cards while fan favorites go in the toilet. But Duel links is a lot more casual friendly. Really appreciate the content and insights. Even just hearing people talk about the game.
Gotta love powercreep when an optimal endboard in 2022 was a monster negate + a backrow or two and pass, whereas in 2024 it's a monster pop, 1-2 monster negates, and a backrow or two (which can be hyper galaxy for a monster tribute).
So, I tried Duel Links briefly a few months back, and decided after grinding tons of levels for several characters it wasn't for me. But I found your channel when looking for tips during that time period. You now have someone who can barely even be called an ex-player watching everything you upload. Your videos are fantastic. Pleasant to watch and listen to, and it's nice to get these little pockets of yugioh knowledge that I didn't experience in the tcg.
Your scripts are among the most entertaining, funny, and educational of all yugitube. And somehow your editing is even better. Probably the best in the genre. I spent the last 2 days binging every video you've made.
I'm so happy you've been enjoying them. They take kind of a while to make since I do them on the side of my day job. Be warned the video quality gets worse as you go back in time lol
To be fair to ciphers - they are the AU photon archetype, played by AU kite from arc v. They aren't meant to be played with photon or galaxy, which is why only the generic boss monsters are used.
Hopefully this isn't annoying orz but to clarify for anyone who was curious and wasn't sure; XYZ (ex-y-zee) refers to the union archetype from early yugioh, whereas Xyz (ex-eez) refers to the summoning mechanic, including Xyz archetype spells and the line of Xyz dragons. Apparently the Xyz mechanic's name comes from the word Exceed, influencing how it was pronounced, because their effects (normally costing an amount of overlay materials) allow them to exceed what the opponent believed their strength to be (at least in early Zexal and early Arc-V - this effect became lessened once people got used to their presence.) Possibly also influenced by how ranks seemingly double the strength of a monster with the equivalent level, therefore exceeding them in power. TlDr; In this case, because Xyz isn't in all-caps, it would be ex-eez galaxy.
This version of Galaxy felt very similar to the toxic Cydra build that was competitive a couple years ago, somehow Zane players managed to open Core and go full combo every single time despite only playing 3 cores and 1 vanilla cyber dragon, for a grand total of 4 monsters (edit: just noticed you covered that deck too)
I remember building this and never got anything above Legend 3. Now I built Tachyon, I'm starting in Gold and it's already getting nerfed. Oh well I guess I still have Shiranui. If only I can figure out how to play em.
Funnily enough, pre nerf Cyber style was another skill that completely warped deck building. It was a cyber dragon deck that didnt play any cyber dragon monsters besides Core, because the skill gave you 3 for free lol
Dang, I remember hating this deck when it was popular. Side note - Am I the weird one for still sticking with the Galaxy Photon deck? I thought it was more fun than Xyz Galaxy.
MST also killed them, usually. Since you can chain MST to galaxy zero to make it fizzle - and since zero is a hard once per turn, that left your only options of comboing for galaxy-eyes as: A. Normal clouddragon & go for a mediocre combo. B. Die if you didn't already have galaxy wizard on field before you activated zero. Crow stopped them completely more often than not, but MST/cosmic was & is played by everything regardless, so most people had an out to draw if they were going first by default (going 2nd still needed crow to stop them).
@@jaernihiltheus7817 Galaxy zero wasn't as present as Shuffle reborn, mind you. I said that at one point, people just started summoning more from the deck (wizard+Expedition) than anything else.
I played photon since it came to the game. It only had one play, and that was all, just summon galaxy eyes and do your best to otk your opponent, I like to see it growing as an archetype, and I wish I could make a TCG-like version of it
1:13 Damn, I can't enjoy the joke due to how the things were release aka when galaxy-eyes photon was release, "galaxy" weren't a thing and it was just photon archetype, then much later, galaxy became an actually archetype,not just a fancy name and then 3 or 4 years later(too lazy to look for the real date) cipher became a thing and then much later, cypher blade who was an original irl promo happened Curse you knowledge of actually watching the anime.
man galaxy eyes is my fav deck...but i really hate this skill it doesn't play anything like actual galaxy eyes...i'm glad that playstyle has gone..but it made everyone dislike the deck unfortunately and because of the skill we wont get photon lord back for a long time...fuck that skill
Galaxy eyes is my favourite degenerate decks alongside cyber end OTK and Crystal beast rainbow dragon 🌈🐉 Duel links made my deck building skills go Hypernova
i actually really love this series man, rare to see anybody do some quality content like this on duel links instead of master duel

@@cuchutrainnah its not really an overstatment tbh,binged watched all of it after i had enough of seeing..tachyon
Master duels better

Remember, Galaxy, Eyes, Photon and Cypher can coexist together and vehicleroids have to take things from speedroids to be.... Something, not even ok.
A wise man once said, " Say hello to Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon."
I love that blue eyes decks surrender before I turn 1 galaxy eyes photon dragon
Photon lead is heaven send

Can't believe John Konami's teeth are white now instead of the background behind him.
oh god, someone noticed. I had thought that went under the radar all these months
@@cuchutrain*for all these mouths
wait till you hear about what the first galaxy photon box was called
not tachyin
ohhhhh boy i remember... konami really just be taking the word photon and galaxy, and throwing them into literally everything

The cyber dragon joke killed me 😂😂😂

Kite is fine now, he just don't play Photons anymore.

DD crow was so detrimental that youd'd play more accelelight to summon Galaxy Wizard from deck.

1:40the Galaxy-EYES thing is what gets to me
XD
Funny enough, I just saw a Duelist of the Roses playthrough with no monsters. This is almost that lol

The opening bit was 99% perfect. Only missed the sound effect
Woah that’s crazy I had no clue they put Runick in Duel Links
Now you just run the new spell hyper galaxy
Kaito with Xyz Galaxy top king...
Mizar: Hold my beer. *Introduces his Tachyon Domination and DOMINATES the meta... SORT OF.*

Curse you knowledge of actually watching the anime.
Goddamit, see this is why you don't put the guy who hasn't watched past gx in charge of making DL videos
Thank you for making great content for this aging masochism simulator some of us still play.
Less gooo best series is back
4:36 *WHERE* is that bellll---?!
--a monster just sent to the GY
it gave me ptsd everytime i hear that skill
galaxy eyes is konami's favorite anime deck
xyz galaxy was the only deck ive ever hit kog with
Loved playing meklords against this deck bc the game was determined by who went first
I think there will be a Part 2 of this with Tachyons hahaha
The jokes, there amazing, im setting up camp now for all your posts
I used the galaxy dinosaur bcuz y not & it saved me so many times
I love your voice its so relaxing
man galaxy eyes is my fav deck...but i really hate this skill it doesn't play anything like actual galaxy eyes...i'm glad that playstyle has gone..but it made everyone dislike the deck unfortunately and because of the skill we wont get photon lord back for a long time...fuck that skill
4:45 you forgot to mention that only the yoinked monster can battle. Also sometimes not even it can attack sometimes and I don't know why!!
@draganstefanovic7957 OMG thank you!!!! Much appreciated!!!
This video made me think about thak
Pretty good galaxy eyes deck but I think I'll stick with my version. As building a deck allows you to better understand how it's going to work.
I became galaxy eyes lover after the deck build i just need 2 card to finish the deck
I've been playing duel links for about 2 weeks and i am already sick of tachyon eyes bullshit
It’s confirmed to be ex eez
1:49 NCH enjoyer spotted
lol yes indeed. my very first video on this channel is, weirdly enough, a mhw non-ta speedrun
free my boy photon lord
Love the opening bit 😂
Galaxy eyes is my favourite degenerate decks alongside cyber end OTK and Crystal beast rainbow dragon 🌈🐉
Duel links made my deck building skills go Hypernova
I've never played dl before.
But it's just so funny seeing ppl suffer from f***** GALAXY EYES
why did galaxy get 3 different useful skills when most decks only have 1?
F*ck it, your channel is deserves more love! Keep pumping the funny as heck content
And Konami not learn from this case to create more absurd skill,Tachyon Dragon Domination
And when Photon Lord release Konami ???
This video exceeded my expectations 😊
oh hey its fe fi fo flo. i see you on twitch all the time
@@cuchutrain hello there. Small world eh 😉
great video, i had to sub!
You've made me laugh, congrats! sub👏
Bring back No.90 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
62 also and 95
The fact that galaxy eyes is still broken to this day just shows how much konami messed up when designing the skills for the decks
😂😂😂😂😂 your joking right?
Still broken…?
Epic
Ygo Domics 😂
I sleep to your voice
Free GEPL!
9:34 WHAT HAPPENED???? NOT EVEN A SPICY WIN STREAK LMAO
This is without using galaxy eyes dark matter dragon which is banned in tcg nd ocg 😂😂
Dark Matter was banned due to it working terrifying with the dragon decks and nothing to with Photon Galaxy.
🍊
as galaxy's number 1 hater i gotta say great job on this one!
This stupid deck forces me to use my tickets for 2 dd crows
Worth it
