It's not a bad thing if card become to overpowered as the game goes on then they have to be banned or they just become boring matches, also if people kept using the same deck year after year then they would just have to find one that works and that would be it. Then the tournaments would did out
***** I totally agree. I only have one deck I could enter in a tournament, the rest of mine have banned cards in them, and, consequently, they are my strongest decks. They make a big show of "balance" and "fairness" when the real fun of the game should be making a deck to work around those powerful cards.
Also only a total dumbass who has never played the game before thinks that only cards with alot of stars are the strongest and not the effects,you know like the ones that get banned
+Chris Stark No, #1 would be Yuma. He literally has three to four transformations that allow him to draw new cards out of nowhere. His second good transformation even allows him to change a card into a new one.
Forget Yu-Gi-Oh, punching someone in the face is screwing the rules IRL. It's called assault, and it carries a prison term. His ass should be in jail, but it's not. Hence, he "cheated" his way out of prison. -.-"
***** Police would look at wether it was justified. It clearly wasn't, but he wouldn't get jailed. Most likely just a fine, pay for hospital bills if any, and possibly community service.
>No Kaiba >Kaiba normal summons a Blue Eyes White Dragon 3 times in the same duel. >Kaiba attacks through Swords of Revealing Light. Judge is literally watching, with the duel system likely flashing from cheating errors, no ban.
At that point summoning 3 monsters without sacrifice was normal because monsters like those were rare. Then when they went to duelist kingdom the rules changed and he couldn't summon monsters without sacrifice.
I feel bad for the guy who got his deck stolen. At Nat's 2011, I was playing gladiator beasts I had just won my ninth round improving to 7-2 securing my spot for day 2. My opponent asked if I had a pen for the match. I looked away for a second digging through my bag looking for a pen. When I looked up he was gone and so was my deck. My deck wasn't very valuable, so I figured I could probably replace it through trading the next day. However I couldn't remember exactly every card in my deck. I explained to the judge the next day I couldn't play because my deck was stolen and I was unable to remember exactly what I needed. I was dropped from the tournament like I knew I would. I was tempted to cheat and borrow a friends deck for an opportunity to play in day 2 at Nat's is rare, and just the chance to play and continue was almost worth getting banned. I didn't though, point is that guy got screwed over and he shouldnt have been banned for 2 years. He should have gotten a lighter punishment. As for that lance guy, the guy throwing dice should have gotten banned too for starting the fight and interfering with a match
Jae Kim was a pretty good player and ambassador, I agree that the situation really sucks but he should have just gone to the head judge about it. When you are a noteworthy player, people will be watching you and you can't get away with swapping decks. I don't think the punishment is really appropriate for the offense but I don't really know what he expected to happen.
DrewskiTheLegend personally i think it's kind of dumb they don't let you swap decks during tournies... i mean just have the judges check every deck everyday right before it starts and make sure there aren't any cheating decks or banned cards in the deck. Why do i have use the same deck every duel? i don't see other games like League of Legends forcing you to use the same champion every match
***** not during play though; i mean like if it takes multiple days; you should be allowed to change decks through out the course of the week; new deck every day also side decking is really since you play more than one duel; it's best 2/3 as for more money; more advantage; more money; already more advantage; pretty expensive to get black luster soldier envoy; also for a full set of judgement dragon...
+Havok Sosa to be honest what advantage does that even give? She could really only identify the cards from her hand. In real life there is no possible way to distinguish 40 different perfumes when the cards are that close together.
Andres Ortega considering your suppose to fill out a form on your deck and basically traded decks with a friend. it still against the rules other wise anyone can claim deck stolen to plsy an entirely new deck.
omg i haven't heard the phrase "if you aren't cheating, you aren't trying" since highschool. My wrestling coach taught us a bunch of crazy moves that aren't really "against the rules" but if you're losing they help a lot. One of them was called the dirty russian and it basically went like this. If your opponent has their hands wraped around you while standing up, you drop to the ground an they get a penalty because you can't have your hands locked when you have your opponent on the ground. I won 2 meats using that trick rofl
How the fuck can you even do that? I think someone would clearly see you grabbing your opponent's deck, whipping out your portable sharpie/tape/whatever, mark the sleeves, and put it back down. Either he IS a ninja or everyone there was fucking blind because that's shit that NO ONE should've missed.
He would pick up his opponents grave and use his fingernail to put a small indentation on the back of the card. Since his opponent was playing spellbook, he would mark the cards fate, tower, power, eternity, and so on. When he shuffled, he would put the cards with the mark on top of his opponent's deck, thereby stacking his opponent. His opponent noticed it after when he saw that the back of the cards that made up his opening had all had a weird Lil mark
vgmaster02 You can "mark" cards with fingernail indentations or bending them in a certain manner. It's a well know card trick with games like Poker or Blackjack, so much so, casinos go as far as opening a brand new pack with every game just to prevent it. I would imagine in this case, players would do so on shuffles since that's the only time an opponent has your cards, and since you can't bring out a 2nd unmarked deck, you have to ride with the imperfections unbeknownst to you.
+etherraichu money fame ect i stopped playing yugioh myself tho cause it became too expensive to keep up and id get decks stolen from me left and right so not worth my time not unless i win the lottery
+nightshadow989 well thats why i rarely bring more than my deck to places, and i'd keep a close watch, no one touches my stuff while playing. i feel your pain for the lost decks. sry to hear that.
What if someone just showed up actually dressed as Bandit Keith and hid 7 Completed cards in their wrist band as they dueled? I mean would that person be a real cheater or just a very serious cosplayer?
you left out my dad from this list he cheated on my mom on then he cheated on the girl he was having an affair with AND THEEEN he took out a piece of exodia from my deck when i was playing it at a regional
Justin Nelson just becuase my oppement forgott to sack my deck also a old player placed 3 acentgear town feild spell cards in the spell/trap zone (about 3years ago)
> Calls YGO a children's card game. ... Bruh, you honestly think kids can play this complicated shit? Every child player I ever dueled against either has no idea what the hell they're doing, or just runs shit they saw in the anime with none of the right support.
Doesn’t seem right that you get your deck stolen when you are a game away from the top and it’s either DQ yourself or get Banned and lose all you played for. Just a crappy situation all around on that one.
Yugioh takes skill? LMAO! For an example; Nekroz is the top deck right now and it's hard to beat, skill is beating that deck with a lesser tier deck. Deck's runs themselves in today's Yugioh, it's all about luck and getting the right card.
I think all major tournament's should be played with a video game. Imagine seeing the monsters appear and attack. All decks could would be reconstructed digitally, and there would be no way to cheat. NO cheating, and seeing the action on tv with cgi monsters... sounds like a win win. heck with the invention of AR coming soon, maybe one day they could make an actual dual disk.
No this wouldn't be suitable for the game style. As a yu gi oh player who.goes to.locals and regional tournaments the physical copy of a card is what makes the game. If its vortualni could just stay at home do some emails and log in ar home to play in new york whilst in the u.k. it sounds ridiculous as per yu gi oh game nationals.
I caused a huge fuss at a regionals in Miami years ago. I ran "Dropoff OTK" I was a level 2 Judge and knew a lot of shady rulings and found that if you shuffle your hand when dropoff is played it makes an irreversible game state and an auto loss. I made it to the Top table and had a few successful rounds, even beating Top Nationals players at the time (as a mediocre player). Eventually the head judge pulled me aside and told me to stop or I would be banned for rulesharking then made an on the spot errata about having to announce the play of Drop Off or Drastic Dropoff before the draw phase or on effect activation of a draw. Good times
+Verlisify How does that make them lose? Seems like you have to take their word that they discarded the right card, like how when they Set a monster, you have to take their word that it's a monster that can be Set.
+Resetti's Robot Wars Replicas Its an irreversible game state "taking their word for it" is in no way a valid reasoning for it, which is why the strategy was so effective. With them setting something, that can be checked then ruled as a misplay or cheating as the game progresses, there is no way to undo a hand shuffle. Also what made it work is that by the rules, you should declare main phase or else you are in draw phase until you perform an action. A lot of time people draw, think a little, and shuffle their hand while still being in draw phase which also gave a long time for the drop off activation. I got the same guy 2 times because its such habit.
YuGiOh drama is the funniest. MTG is just cringe. Pokemon tends to not have drama. Hearth stone is just desperation. That's how you got here. Maybe. Or you took a left turn at dragon ball like the last guy said.
I honestly don't even play Yugioh right now but I don't think calling it a children's card game is right, it's the most complicated card game I've seen around, hell MTG has less complicated marketing mechanics than this game is to play
It's a joke from Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. LittleKuriboh constantly makes the joke about how the characters settle all their disputes by playing "a children's card game."
Emon was banned for stacking crush *and* Sangan. Lost to him at SJC Houston. Would have gotten top 8 with rescue cat OTK, if not for him. Sad kids, couldn’t win with skill and matchup experience. Hoban, Corn, and Nzir (or howerver you spell it) were not good players, they misplayed regularly.
Tyler Tabman cheated in his Top 4 match at NA Worlds against Prowinston. He clearly realised he was out of life points by his body language but because Prowinston didn't notice they carried on playing and he eventually won the next turn.
With all your knowledge of older players and formats could you possibly make videos discussing the pros of the past and their accomplishments as well as possibly talking about people who have earned "life time achievement awards" maybe jeff johnes, winning SJC and YCS events idk just a thought
Jeff Jones real claim of fame is that he's a really good deck builder. He found a way to optimize in his own way Burning Abyss pre NECH with not just monarch tech but main decking mind crush since wing blast/raiza can put back main deck cards to the top of the deck for top decking purposes. As well as his Denko Doll interpretation and his reasoning behind it. I'd give Korey McDuffie props as well since every time I hear him break down his deck, he leaves absolutely no corner unturned for his motivations and reasons as to why he played the cards he did. Probably comes out of habit from playing MTG as well.
Robert Douglas Almost forgot about Jeff Jones plants synchro variant. As for the Psychic Deck, Jeff himself admits its jank as hell and the only reason why he won was because of certain technicalities of cards he used like Crystal Chrononaut that _favored_ him. He never used it again to top another event and no one was able to replicate the success of it in part due to its heavy inconsistency in part of Grandsoil itself.
To become famous for winning tournaments and be respected and fame for. That's why people cheat. To get close to a goal that someone doesn't work hard for it
DJAizakku :0 actually in the anime you could still activate spells on your opponents turn for a while which is why during yami yugi vs seto kaiba at battle city he was worried about the equip spell set.
I kinda wish you had gone into more detail about the exact situations that lead to the bans. Some of them were self explanatory, i.e. bribery, using a different deck. But others where you just said cheating or marked cards, it would be important for people to know how exactly they cheated so people can be more vigilant in the future.
+Ryan Amberger Well, if cheating technically is going against the rules and it is a rule from Konami to not play YuGiOh for money exept in an official tournament...... Yes, not the "classic" cheating, but if it is cheating depends on you definiton i would say.
I do not play the Yugioh card game, but gambling is a PRIVATE activity, and (to the best of my knowledge) is not illegal anywhere in the world. Anyone can bet ANYTHING they own on literally ANYTHING they want. If the other guy accepts it is no one else's business, except maybe a mutually agreed upon third party that ensures that the bet is honored. Just because a company made a thing does not give them the RIGHT to forbid gambling upon it, or to punish someone who does so.
Check it: Jae Kim was recently featured at the feature table in ESPN's broadcast of the World Series of Poker Main Event 2015. Episodes air every Tuesday.
I dueled Corn once. I ran frognarchs at the time. Had him at less the 3000 lp left. I try to ss treeborn on my sb, he plays warning. When I try to ss treeborn again he tells me that I can’t because warning negated treeborn’s ss eff for the rest of the duel. Stupidly, I believed him and 2 turns later he won. And that’s the story about how Corn had to cheat to keep from losing to a “random”.
LOTS of top players do shit like this. Either feigning ignorance or making up rules on the spot to try to trick less experienced players. It pisses me off to no end.
I remember my first tournament. Had like 70 cards in my deck, got stomped because I couldn't draw anything useful and learned why I had to keep my deck small :3 Won one of those sealed pack tourneys for the Flaming Eternity release, though that's nothing impressive (free boosters though!).
I got banned from nationals because my opponent marked my card while I wasn't looking and his friends backed him up I was on a winning streak as well aT.T I think he was scared off my burn deck
When I was in highschool there was a group of kids who called them self "rare hunters" and really threatened people/beat up/fought people for rare yugioh cards. they had their own hangout and one of them got arrested while betting $300 in a duel and beating up the guy he lossed too. (No serious injuries)
I like how you pronounced San Mateo, and Adam Corn did not cheat at YCS San Mateo, I saw the situation go down, his cards were clearly unmarked, the judges took the deck and preformed the deck check for about 20 minutes in a back room, comming back and disqualifying him, he was clearly targeted.
While siding, you both keep the card you agree to side out face up on the table. This practice was really common in bablyless dragon mirrors, as both players would agree to side out Sixth Sense and RFTDD. The issue is with the Djinn side out is Pat had a 2nd copy of it in his side deck, so while it was face up on the board in between games he could take his 2nd copy and put it in. This wasn't an issue during dragon mirrors because both Sixth Sense and RFTDD were both at 1 so there couldn't legally be a spare copy in the side.
I know of a guy who is banned from Magic the Gathering for photo-shopping cards. He had this Bone Hydra that was supposed to cost 9 mana and five or six black lands. He edited it to take 6 and one less black land. Sadly, he didn't realize the same card was used as a poster almost right behind him, and the second it lay it down the kid he was playing against called foul. Turns out a few of his cards were shopped, either for more damage or less mana, and he got a two or three year ban for each card. The local shop no longer allows him to play, either.
I'm still a newbie but I need more time that I have to train and someday become a pro plus I have long road ahead of me when first did my first yugioh tournament I lost many times but I never give up I kept trying until my last card was played..
When you call Roy chunky ass I laughed so hard. This guy that makes the video it’s really funny and cool and does a great job researching all of this information. I played a little competitive when I was young but I was awful and it makes me feel like I was a part of something really cool that I actually wasn’t lol
My old friends used to cheat against me during middle school and I won only once, so one of them gave me their deck as an apology. I don't have the deck anymore unfortunately because it was lost when I moved to Florida 7 years ago.
elitebelt You obviously lived under a rock for too long. A grown adult is 21. 21 is the age of maturity when someone can completely fit in society. You keep telling my it's 30, but you're thinking of the age you enter your prime.
WTF gambling really? Now I do not play the Yugioh card game, but gambling is a PRIVATE activity, and (to the best of my knowledge) is not illegal anywhere in the world. Anyone can bet ANYTHING they own on literally ANYTHING they want. If the other guy accepts it is no one else's business, except maybe a mutually agreed upon third party that ensures that the bet is honored. Just because a company made a thing does not give it the RIGHT to forbid gambling upon it, or to punish someone who does so.
You give these guys too much credit. Saying "they were stupid for cheating, they were so good they didn't need to cheat". Um, no. They were only as good as they were BECAUSE they were cheating. It's not like it was all their first times cheating when they got busted and banned. It was just the first time they'd gotten caught.
These guys are such jabronis, but buddy's comment about how everyone does it couldn't have more sad truth to it. When I was heavily involved with the game, it was ridiculous how many people (from little kids to top players) would not only try everything imaginable, but also try everything they could to justify it. Always had my issues with Konami and the way Yugioh was and still is handled, but the terrible player base was ultimately what nailed the coffin for me.
If someone is a cheater, he can't be a top player period. No one knows how many "achievements" he got just by cheating. Anyone that ever got caught cheating loses all accomplishments he got in the sport.
Not Yugioh but a guy at locals for Mtg always ALWAYS manages to win drafts he enters. He’ll “draft” 2-3 copies of the same mythic rare power houses and the cards + mana bases to support them. The one time he was asked to leave his bag, deck box and sleeves in the car, he didn’t win a single round. Never been confirmed to be cheating but it’s pretty telling
This video was a walk down memory lane for me - I loved it. Well done. Just a great summary - Do you have a hall of fame video up? This is a great chronology video and you obviously have a great memory of events. Just enjoyed the hell out of this.
Dalton Bousman,Michel Grüner (Slowplay,playing 4 copies of one card,stacking [back in the day Rabbit on topdeck]),Piyal Peiris (stacking,multidraw during Draw Phase),Vittorio Wiktor (stacking,dealing with drugs), Travis Smith (stacking-> watch his 1st Place Wind Up deck profile, he played Heavy Storm in rainbow 3D Rare, also stacking during last ARG events)
This might be a dumb question, so dont get too salty, but How in the name of the pharaoh do you mark card sleeves to where someone can tell without ruining them?
Seems like a waste, especially if all it'd do is get you banned. I think Yami and Yugi would be ashamed. By the way, Is it just me, or does Cheater #2 look EXACTLY like Bandit Kieth but without the shades and the Bandanna?
Anyone who cheats is a disgrace. Even as a kid I shared this sentiment. Kids don’t know better, but they ideally learn. It doesn’t matter if they have skill. I won’t name another name, but I was told of a bribery instance with someone I knew who won an sjc and failed in another. Never cheated against me. I went x-1 or x-0 until I had to leave bc friend’s parents lol. When I began yugioh as a kid , another who literally wore an American bandanna, tried to say if he won he’d get my raigeki - f him, told the judge and gone.
When I was watching this year's WCQ, a number of people in chat mentioned that Sehabi, last year's World Championship winner, was banned. Would anyone know if that's true or not, and if it is then what did he do?
40 Crush Card Viruses at that time huh? Well, I'm glad to have been one of those proud 40 owners of Crush Card Virus! I got that along with a Grandmaster of the Six Samurai from the Gold edition back then.
The dude that got banned for punching someone seemed to be in the right for me. I don't have the full story but it sounds like nothing was being done about the dice throwing, so at that point it becomes self defense.
Was there ever anyone who ever went to a RL YGO tournament with a random deck that was not dedicated to an specific archtype or gimmick? 'Cause everyone seems to be rolling meta decks
Real Number 1 Cheater, of all time, yuma tsukumo episode 98. yugioh zexal. 1 monster on field, 0 in hand, 1 in deck. Yuma stacked the card on the bottom of his deck with a card effect the turn before. In his draw phase his opponent ,Vector, activates a mind crush like card. Calling The Card Correctly!!! Yuma then changes the card entirely with alien magic super powers. Fucking Cheater!!!
Cheating is extremely common in yugioh tournaments. A HUGE part of winning is to always assume your opponent may potentially cheat, and to constantly employ anti cheating techniques. Always ask how many cards they have, don't allow them put their hands under the table, ask them to play slowly once they start going super fast, keep track of erratad cards, always keep track of lifepoints yourself and verify often, ask them to cut your deck not hold it sideways and shuffle so they can see your cards, watch them side deck, keep track of traps they just set that turn so they don't activate the turn they are set, don't let them stack you cut their deck well and unpredictably, ugh and SO many other things hahahaha. The sad truth is the quote 'all the pro players cheat' is basically true. Of course, most non pro players cheat too. Everyone cheats, both pros and non pros alike. Learn anti cheating techniques and you will become a better player.

I think the number 3 guy Jay Kim should be number 10 on the list rather than in the top 3 or that he shouldn't be on the list at all because he sounds like a victim of circumstance after getting his deck presumably stolen. What really sucks is that he was also banned after of being *victimized* due to said circumstances which is basically adding salt to the wound. That just makes it hurt so much more. A regular disqualification would have been sufficient given he was a *victim* of theft. Konami really does give players a royal screw job and is not even compassionate towards such tragic incidents.
Thing is, Kim was plain stupid. Yes, he had a good record. Yes, by winning the next game he would top the event. BUT... that was all history when his deck had gone missing. He shouldve just dropped from the tournament, there was no way he was getting through with playing another deck... BUT... he still did. Such stupidity deserves to get banned.
It is mentality like that that is the reason why there is so much indecency in the card game. Calling him stupid? His deck was STOLEN and he was banned because of his circumstances. Given what happened to him as he was a *victim* of theft and couldn't compete anyways, a plain disqualification SHOULD have been the answer, not a 2 year ban. Compassion and understanding are things that *should* exist given circumstances like his and others. It is people with no moral fiber that taint the game with cheating and using "technicalities" (dishonest abuse of using the rules to win by default/disqualification) to win. When situations like Kim's happens, it is understandable and therefore deserves compassion and *lenient* punishment. The mentality of calling victims of circumstance like his stupid makes those people less than scum. The elitist/asshole attitude has to stop and decency has to take precedence over execution of the "rules" that are easily abused and tainted in favor of those who would take advantage of it.
"Screw the rules. I have money."
-Seto Kaiba
Hahaha renegade for life
Lol.
+Matt Parks don't make me show u my Brooklyn rage
Little Kuriboh is a genius.
+Matt Parks I activate this card!!!!!
Bet Yugi would be #1 on this list with all the top decking he's done when he's about to lose. "Heart of the cards my ass!"
Not to mention using some banned cards
It's not a bad thing if card become to overpowered as the game goes on then they have to be banned or they just become boring matches, also if people kept using the same deck year after year then they would just have to find one that works and that would be it. Then the tournaments would did out
***** I totally agree. I only have one deck I could enter in a tournament, the rest of mine have banned cards in them, and, consequently, they are my strongest decks. They make a big show of "balance" and "fairness" when the real fun of the game should be making a deck to work around those powerful cards.
Also only a total dumbass who has never played the game before thinks that only cards with alot of stars are the strongest and not the effects,you know like the ones that get banned
+Chris Stark No, #1 would be Yuma. He literally has three to four transformations that allow him to draw new cards out of nowhere. His second good transformation even allows him to change a card into a new one.
All these guys were banished to the shadow realm.
bigtiny805 their souls were taken by the seal of orikakalamos
Lmao
orikakalamos? some new card?
They just died regularly in the sub
Damn, their evil souls will only make Dark Leviathan stronger
Why is Louie on the list of cheaters if all he did was punch Duke Devlin?
He screwed the rules. Punching someone in the face is not something you're allowed to do. I also wanted variety.
Forget Yu-Gi-Oh, punching someone in the face is screwing the rules IRL. It's called assault, and it carries a prison term. His ass should be in jail, but it's not. Hence, he "cheated" his way out of prison. -.-"
***** Police would look at wether it was justified. It clearly wasn't, but he wouldn't get jailed. Most likely just a fine, pay for hospital bills if any, and possibly community service.
sergeantassassin3 It was because die were thrown so it would be aggravated assault, not just assault, and assault carries a much heftier punishment.
John Deuce wouldent u punch him? i know i would.
>No Kaiba
>Kaiba normal summons a Blue Eyes White Dragon 3 times in the same duel.
>Kaiba attacks through Swords of Revealing Light.
Judge is literally watching, with the duel system likely flashing from cheating errors, no ban.
not Real People? xD
VixXstazosJOB
Are you trying to tell me Seto Kaiba isn't real or something.
Aravash lol true, but in season 2 he made up his own rules. the very rules we follow to this day. (mostly)
At that point summoning 3 monsters without sacrifice was normal because monsters like those were rare. Then when they went to duelist kingdom the rules changed and he couldn't summon monsters without sacrifice.
He actually only broke one rule that duel...
If you're an adult and you cheat at Yugioh, you have officially failed at life.
+Floydthefuckbag Or you could be someone who is bored and gets entertainment from people who don't realize you're cheating

all very true my friend
I feel bad for the guy who got his deck stolen. At Nat's 2011, I was playing gladiator beasts I had just won my ninth round improving to 7-2 securing my spot for day 2. My opponent asked if I had a pen for the match. I looked away for a second digging through my bag looking for a pen. When I looked up he was gone and so was my deck. My deck wasn't very valuable, so I figured I could probably replace it through trading the next day. However I couldn't remember exactly every card in my deck. I explained to the judge the next day I couldn't play because my deck was stolen and I was unable to remember exactly what I needed. I was dropped from the tournament like I knew I would.

i mean just have the judges check every deck everyday right before it starts and make sure there aren't any cheating decks or banned cards in the deck. Why do i have use the same deck every duel?
i don't see other games like League of Legends forcing you to use the same champion every match
*****
not during play though; i mean like if it takes multiple days; you should be allowed to change decks through out the course of the week; new deck every day
also side decking is really since you play more than one duel; it's best 2/3
as for more money; more advantage; more money; already more advantage; pretty expensive to get black luster soldier envoy; also for a full set of judgement dragon...
I never saw the guy again, its hard finding anyone there.
...I would've hunted like a blood hound...
I'm surprised mai isn't on here , she cheated using perfume on her cards to get the advantage.
+Havok Sosa to be honest what advantage does that even give? She could really only identify the cards from her hand. In real life there is no possible way to distinguish 40 different perfumes when the cards are that close together.
+Jacob Monks it's a joke bro
A JUKE BRUH
she doesn't even exist dumbass
Have these people not seen the episode...
You know if someone threw dice at me I would punch him too...i mean wtf
But the question is why would the opponent throw dice?
Duke Devlin fetish?
Someone probably told him Dungeon Dice Monsters was just like Duel Monsters
He disrespected his theme song.
That’s on the judges. It never should have gotten to the point where it got physical.
#3 really sucks. He was just trying to continue to play, but he got banned for something that wasn't even his fault.
Andres Ortega considering your suppose to fill out a form on your deck and basically traded decks with a friend. it still against the rules other wise anyone can claim deck stolen to plsy an entirely new deck.
omg i haven't heard the phrase "if you aren't cheating, you aren't trying" since highschool. My wrestling coach taught us a bunch of crazy moves that aren't really "against the rules" but if you're losing they help a lot. One of them was called the dirty russian and it basically went like this. If your opponent has their hands wraped around you while standing up, you drop to the ground an they get a penalty because you can't have your hands locked when you have your opponent on the ground. I won 2 meats using that trick rofl
or the old THUMB UP THE ASS trick
When I used to wrestle anytime somebody would get legs in on me I would roll or stand up haha. Wouldn't call that cheating but it was fun rolling
When I was wrestling I had this one trick where I stuck my hand up their singlet and felt their ball sack.
The old ball blaster...Classic
Haha chill
Grown men cheating at a children's card game...I feel like there's a joke in there somewhere but I just can't find it.
+hairypancake Honestly most of these people look like teenagers.
+hairypancake That IS the joke.
+hairypancake Hairypancake for President '16
Some didn't cheat
Yeah its like the opposite of COD meant for adults played by kids
Simon was banned because he marked his opponents cards, not his own. He would then stack unplayable hands
How the fuck can you even do that? I think someone would clearly see you grabbing your opponent's deck, whipping out your portable sharpie/tape/whatever, mark the sleeves, and put it back down. Either he IS a ninja or everyone there was fucking blind because that's shit that NO ONE should've missed.
vgmaster02 fingernails bro
He would pick up his opponents grave and use his fingernail to put a small indentation on the back of the card. Since his opponent was playing spellbook, he would mark the cards fate, tower, power, eternity, and so on. When he shuffled, he would put the cards with the mark on top of his opponent's deck, thereby stacking his opponent. His opponent noticed it after when he saw that the back of the cards that made up his opening had all had a weird Lil mark
It's very easy to pick up your opponents grave and put a fingernail mark on it
vgmaster02 You can "mark" cards with fingernail indentations or bending them in a certain manner. It's a well know card trick with games like Poker or Blackjack, so much so, casinos go as far as opening a brand new pack with every game just to prevent it. I would imagine in this case, players would do so on shuffles since that's the only time an opponent has your cards, and since you can't bring out a 2nd unmarked deck, you have to ride with the imperfections unbeknownst to you.
so pretty much, the entire top ranks eventually gets caught cheating which calls their past wins into question.
Does that mean....those guys who always made it to the finals but never got spotlight were actually the best duelists?
:O
screw the rules I have money
Screw the rules, I have green hair
Huh that was just weird I should probably lay off the drugs
Fsilone oh I’m sorry to keep you waiting go right ahead.
Screw the rules, I'm a main character
So its baisacly like yugioh
Never understood why people cheat at games. I mean, whats the point of winning if you had to cheat to get there? Makes no sense.
Money, Mass amount of money
+etherraichu money fame ect i stopped playing yugioh myself tho cause it became too expensive to keep up and id get decks stolen from me left and right so not worth my time not unless i win the lottery
+etherraichu fame and money
+nightshadow989 well thats why i rarely bring more than my deck to places, and i'd keep a close watch, no one touches my stuff while playing. i feel your pain for the lost decks. sry to hear that.
+etherraichu cheating is a strategy =p
These people shouldn't have been banned. THEY SHOULD'VE BEEN SENT TO THE SHADOW REALM.
actually its the purple realm
The Bard King lol
more like get set on fire, legs chopped off, drown in the ocean with weights on so you can't swim back up
You want to murder a guy for playing after his deck got stolen? How long do you want to go away for? Must be a horrible person to think that.
That's the great problem with cheating; if you are caught doing it once, it throws all previous wins into question.
What if someone just showed up actually dressed as Bandit Keith and hid 7 Completed cards in their wrist band as they dueled? I mean would that person be a real cheater or just a very serious cosplayer?
Good question
you left out my dad from this list
he cheated on my mom
on then he cheated on the girl he was having an affair with
AND THEEEN he took out a piece of exodia from my deck when i was playing it at a regional
d00blz - You've got one shifty papa.
That bastard,Stealing a piece of exodia is unforgivable
What a legend
Which piece
@@moojza the head cause he was in love woth exodia
Very insightful and well researched video. Great Job CapG.
You are one cool fella
Love your voice btw ....I have a thing for voices...
***** Galactic God your here too :O
well i got local banned when my oppement forgot to cut my deck
they said the odds its to high to get all 5 exodia cards on hand on the first turn =(
Justin Nelson just becuase my oppement forgott to sack my deck
also a old player placed 3 acentgear town feild spell cards in the spell/trap zone (about 3years ago)
***** whoa its galactic god again wow two time in a row
> Calls YGO a children's card game.
... Bruh, you honestly think kids can play this complicated shit? Every child player I ever dueled against either has no idea what the hell they're doing, or just runs shit they saw in the anime with none of the right support.

Patrick Hoban broke a gentleman's agreement. That's not cheating, that's just being a sleezeball.
MarioSaavs you never break a gentleman’s agreement, I’m 11 and that’s low
@@carolinewald3109 its low, but its not cheating.
@@mariomasv Plus he DID take out the copy in his main deck. So he technically held up the agreement as they never agreed to not put another one in.
@@yeahmaybe1177 Nah men, he didnt honor anything, he was an asshole. Glad he lost.
@@mariomasv He was absolutely an asshole, but he technically didn't break the agreement, just did what would be implied to not be done.
Doesn’t seem right that you get your deck stolen when you are a game away from the top and it’s either DQ yourself or get Banned and lose all you played for. Just a crappy situation all around on that one.
Yugioh takes skill? LMAO! For an example; Nekroz is the top deck right now and it's hard to beat, skill is beating that deck with a lesser tier deck. Deck's runs themselves in today's Yugioh, it's all about luck and getting the right card.
Nekroz IS skill
Joel Sium The only skill in Nekroz is convincing yourself that paying that much for a deck is a good investment. XD
no it's who ever shut's the others players down by mass summons or making your opponent unable to play anything/comeback and money.
Sometimes when it comes down to building decent decks to try to stand off against the Meta, the solution can be in front of you.
So what your saying is you could pick up any deck today and top an event ? Good luck with that
Aside from cards being stolen, this is another reason why I refuse to do tournaments... Goes to show these guys have no respect or honor.
Real-life Bandit Keith, LOL.
In America
I think all major tournament's should be played with a video game. Imagine seeing the monsters appear and attack. All decks could would be reconstructed digitally, and there would be no way to cheat. NO cheating, and seeing the action on tv with cgi monsters... sounds like a win win. heck with the invention of AR coming soon, maybe one day they could make an actual dual disk.
Justin Forest the YCS would be televised like the freaking Super Bowl if Holograms were real.
Yes that would be sick but konami wants people to shill out money for cards so sadly that ain't happening LUL
No this wouldn't be suitable for the game style. As a yu gi oh player who.goes to.locals and regional tournaments the physical copy of a card is what makes the game. If its vortualni could just stay at home do some emails and log in ar home to play in new york whilst in the u.k. it sounds ridiculous as per yu gi oh game nationals.
@@lewys9204 And yet, Duel Links.
I am baffled the Japanese haven't made them already, they got all kinds of fancy gadgets and gismos over there.
I caused a huge fuss at a regionals in Miami years ago. I ran "Dropoff OTK" I was a level 2 Judge and knew a lot of shady rulings and found that if you shuffle your hand when dropoff is played it makes an irreversible game state and an auto loss. I made it to the Top table and had a few successful rounds, even beating Top Nationals players at the time (as a mediocre player). Eventually the head judge pulled me aside and told me to stop or I would be banned for rulesharking then made an on the spot errata about having to announce the play of Drop Off or Drastic Dropoff before the draw phase or on effect activation of a draw. Good times
Hey
Verlis, stop playing crappy OTK's and get back to your channel for the Pokemon Z "hype" :P
+Verlisify How does that make them lose? Seems like you have to take their word that they discarded the right card, like how when they Set a monster, you have to take their word that it's a monster that can be Set.
+Resetti's Robot Wars Replicas Its an irreversible game state "taking their word for it" is in no way a valid reasoning for it, which is why the strategy was so effective. With them setting something, that can be checked then ruled as a misplay or cheating as the game progresses, there is no way to undo a hand shuffle. Also what made it work is that by the rules, you should declare main phase or else you are in draw phase until you perform an action. A lot of time people draw, think a little, and shuffle their hand while still being in draw phase which also gave a long time for the drop off activation. I got the same guy 2 times because its such habit.
wow verlis, never knew u played this game, nice to know :)
"Never heard of this guy" i never heard of any of these people i don't even know how i got here lol xD
MeADinosaur me either
MeADinosaur you didn't take that left turn at dragon ball
YuGiOh drama is the funniest. MTG is just cringe. Pokemon tends to not have drama. Hearth stone is just desperation. That's how you got here. Maybe. Or you took a left turn at dragon ball like the last guy said.
I honestly don't even play Yugioh right now but I don't think calling it a children's card game is right, it's the most complicated card game I've seen around, hell MTG has less complicated marketing mechanics than this game is to play
It's a joke from Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. LittleKuriboh constantly makes the joke about how the characters settle all their disputes by playing "a children's card game."
Strigiform Oh ok well I'm a big idiot then, thanks for clarifying
You have to say it how Eddie Guerrero said it:
"If your not cheating, your not trying."
Brett Estes VIVA LA RAZA!
Marco Piccirillo yep
You’re
Emon was banned for stacking crush *and* Sangan. Lost to him at SJC Houston. Would have gotten top 8 with rescue cat OTK, if not for him.
Sad kids, couldn’t win with skill and matchup experience. Hoban, Corn, and Nzir (or howerver you spell it) were not good players, they misplayed regularly.
Tyler Tabman cheated in his Top 4 match at NA Worlds against Prowinston. He clearly realised he was out of life points by his body language but because Prowinston didn't notice they carried on playing and he eventually won the next turn.
FXo how is that possible? Doesn’t at least one of the players keep a life point counter?
With all your knowledge of older players and formats could you possibly make videos discussing the pros of the past and their accomplishments as well as possibly talking about people who have earned "life time achievement awards" maybe jeff johnes, winning SJC and YCS events idk just a thought
Jeff Jones real claim of fame is that he's a really good deck builder. He found a way to optimize in his own way Burning Abyss pre NECH with not just monarch tech but main decking mind crush since wing blast/raiza can put back main deck cards to the top of the deck for top decking purposes. As well as his Denko Doll interpretation and his reasoning behind it.
I'd give Korey McDuffie props as well since every time I hear him break down his deck, he leaves absolutely no corner unturned for his motivations and reasons as to why he played the cards he did. Probably comes out of habit from playing MTG as well.
Robert Douglas Almost forgot about Jeff Jones plants synchro variant. As for the Psychic Deck, Jeff himself admits its jank as hell and the only reason why he won was because of certain technicalities of cards he used like Crystal Chrononaut that _favored_ him. He never used it again to top another event and no one was able to replicate the success of it in part due to its heavy inconsistency in part of Grandsoil itself.
sorry but jeff is a cheat.
james falco any definitive evidence that actually points to this and not hearsay?
Seriously why do people cheat on Yu-Gi-Oh for?
To become famous for winning tournaments and be respected and fame for. That's why people cheat. To get close to a goal that someone doesn't work hard for it
worst cheater ever: Yugi Muto xD
I agree lol
Nah man Dark Magician can be summoned with no tribute, didn't you see the anime?
sorry yugi that cards banned

+Naruninja555 Same here. A black dude talking about a bunch of whites who got banned from playing yugi-oh. It's like the twillight zone.
Super SwegWill
A bunch.
I kinda wish you had gone into more detail about the exact situations that lead to the bans. Some of them were self explanatory, i.e. bribery, using a different deck. But others where you just said cheating or marked cards, it would be important for people to know how exactly they cheated so people can be more vigilant in the future.
The first one isn't a cheater. Just played for some side money.
+Ryan Amberger Well, if cheating technically is going against the rules and it is a rule from Konami to not play YuGiOh for money exept in an official tournament......
Yes, not the "classic" cheating, but if it is cheating depends on you definiton i would say.
+ziebell1994 you cant even play for money in official yugioh tournaments. they dont support cash prizes for some reason
I do not play the Yugioh card game, but gambling is a PRIVATE activity, and (to the best of my knowledge) is not illegal anywhere in the world. Anyone can bet ANYTHING they own on literally ANYTHING they want. If the other guy accepts it is no one else's business, except maybe a mutually agreed upon third party that ensures that the bet is honored. Just because a company made a thing does not give them the RIGHT to forbid gambling upon it, or to punish someone who does so.
jlk461 Where do you get your laws from? Gambling on sports in countries like the U.S. is illegal

I was at shonen jump washing where adam corn was banned, it was funny as hell, because the guy he was playing called all 5 of his cards in order.
I dueled Corn once. I ran frognarchs at the time. Had him at less the 3000 lp left. I try to ss treeborn on my sb, he plays warning. When I try to ss treeborn again he tells me that I can’t because warning negated treeborn’s ss eff for the rest of the duel. Stupidly, I believed him and 2 turns later he won. And that’s the story about how Corn had to cheat to keep from losing to a “random”.
LOTS of top players do shit like this. Either feigning ignorance or making up rules on the spot to try to trick less experienced players. It pisses me off to no end.
I remember my first tournament. Had like 70 cards in my deck, got stomped because I couldn't draw anything useful and learned why I had to keep my deck small :3 Won one of those sealed pack tourneys for the Flaming Eternity release, though that's nothing impressive (free boosters though!).
"Banned for fighting"
Wasn't expecting that from this video
I got banned from nationals because my opponent marked my card while I wasn't looking and his friends backed him up I was on a winning streak as well aT.T I think he was scared off my burn deck
TheClassb burn players burn in yugioh hell
When I was in highschool there was a group of kids who called them self "rare hunters" and really threatened people/beat up/fought people for rare yugioh cards. they had their own hangout and one of them got arrested while betting $300 in a duel and beating up the guy he lossed too. (No serious injuries)
thats hilarious because that is the name of the villians in the anime that go after everyones rare cards. that is like some real life anime shit lolz
greed makes you cheat
"I dont have time for a third rate duelist like you wheeler. I have a company to run" KAIBA STYLE
I like how you pronounced San Mateo, and Adam Corn did not cheat at YCS San Mateo, I saw the situation go down, his cards were clearly unmarked, the judges took the deck and preformed the deck check for about 20 minutes in a back room, comming back and disqualifying him, he was clearly targeted.
Pretty sad. Wouldn't be surprised if they were paid to do it.
I don't know if they were paid or not, but there was definitely something fishy going on when they came over to give him a deck check
My thoughts exactly.
What was Patrick's plan? "Alright, I'm gonna bring back my djinn and hope for love of God my opponent forgets the whole side out djinn thing."
While siding, you both keep the card you agree to side out face up on the table. This practice was really common in bablyless dragon mirrors, as both players would agree to side out Sixth Sense and RFTDD. The issue is with the Djinn side out is Pat had a 2nd copy of it in his side deck, so while it was face up on the board in between games he could take his 2nd copy and put it in. This wasn't an issue during dragon mirrors because both Sixth Sense and RFTDD were both at 1 so there couldn't legally be a spare copy in the side.
How did peter cheng not make it on this list?
i feel bad for the guy banned for fighting. he was being assulted with projectile weapons. it was self defence!
Wasnt Adam Corn also banned for making porn?
lolwut.. details plz?

gay porn too . . . ewwwwww
I know of a guy who is banned from Magic the Gathering for photo-shopping cards. He had this Bone Hydra that was supposed to cost 9 mana and five or six black lands. He edited it to take 6 and one less black land. Sadly, he didn't realize the same card was used as a poster almost right behind him, and the second it lay it down the kid he was playing against called foul. Turns out a few of his cards were shopped, either for more damage or less mana, and he got a two or three year ban for each card. The local shop no longer allows him to play, either.
That's fucking hilarious ngl xD
I'm still a newbie but I need more time that I have to train and someday become a pro plus I have long road ahead of me when first did my first yugioh tournament I lost many times but I never give up I kept trying until my last card was played..

Well, at least these guys admitted they were cheating. That's...admirable...I guess.
Grown ass men cheating in a children's card game. Their ain't a single thing admirable about it.
+elitebelt Grown males are 21 and older and most of them look 21 or older.

Grown males are 30 or older, jackass. A 21 year old is a young adult. You obviously haven't lived on Earth very long.
elitebelt
You obviously lived under a rock for too long. A grown adult is 21. 21 is the age of maturity when someone can completely fit in society. You keep telling my it's 30, but you're thinking of the age you enter your prime.
the guy how had his deck stolen should have been allowed to play still. banning him was completely unnecessary ti ban him for two years.
WTF gambling really? Now I do not play the Yugioh card game, but gambling is a PRIVATE activity, and (to the best of my knowledge) is not illegal anywhere in the world. Anyone can bet ANYTHING they own on literally ANYTHING they want. If the other guy accepts it is no one else's business, except maybe a mutually agreed upon third party that ensures that the bet is honored. Just because a company made a thing does not give it the RIGHT to forbid gambling upon it, or to punish someone who does so.
You give these guys too much credit. Saying "they were stupid for cheating, they were so good they didn't need to cheat". Um, no. They were only as good as they were BECAUSE they were cheating. It's not like it was all their first times cheating when they got busted and banned. It was just the first time they'd gotten caught.
Exactly, when they’re finally caught cheating, it brings their previous wins into question.
These guys are such jabronis, but buddy's comment about how everyone does it couldn't have more sad truth to it. When I was heavily involved with the game, it was ridiculous how many people (from little kids to top players) would not only try everything imaginable, but also try everything they could to justify it. Always had my issues with Konami and the way Yugioh was and still is handled, but the terrible player base was ultimately what nailed the coffin for me.
Shane Scurry comes to mind for the ones that you missed.
Him and his thug group of thieves.
Jason Holloway AKA Stalloway.
You know Shane? Lol
If someone is a cheater, he can't be a top player period. No one knows how many "achievements" he got just by cheating. Anyone that ever got caught cheating loses all accomplishments he got in the sport.
Patrick looks like a mushroom tip.
Not Yugioh but a guy at locals for Mtg always ALWAYS manages to win drafts he enters. He’ll “draft” 2-3 copies of the same mythic rare power houses and the cards + mana bases to support them. The one time he was asked to leave his bag, deck box and sleeves in the car, he didn’t win a single round. Never been confirmed to be cheating but it’s pretty telling
How do champions and skilled players cheat? pathetic.
Because there not believe in hearts of the card
This video was a walk down memory lane for me - I loved it. Well done. Just a great summary - Do you have a hall of fame video up? This is a great chronology video and you obviously have a great memory of events. Just enjoyed the hell out of this.

What a fucking dumbass xD
Who was the cheater at worlds last year (I think) that used Miracle Fertilizer's effect multiple times in the same turn and then admitted to doing it?
Dalton Bousman,Michel Grüner (Slowplay,playing 4 copies of one card,stacking [back in the day Rabbit on topdeck]),Piyal Peiris (stacking,multidraw during Draw Phase),Vittorio Wiktor (stacking,dealing with drugs), Travis Smith (stacking-> watch his 1st Place Wind Up deck profile, he played Heavy Storm in rainbow 3D Rare, also stacking during last ARG events)
You forgot to mention me back in 04 I cheated.... In AMERICA!
Keith sup
Yeah buddy
Adam Corn and Roy St. Clair are the ones that hit the hardest. I cant believe I ever looked up to them.
this is just disgraceful...these guys are an embarrassment to duelists everywhere...I'd say their the lowest of the low in terms of yugioh...
Eddie Guerrero "if you ain't cheating you're not trying
This might be a dumb question, so dont get too salty, but How in the name of the pharaoh do you mark card sleeves to where someone can tell without ruining them?
dent in the corner, you can do it with your fingernail but judges know to look out for it now
Seems like a waste, especially if all it'd do is get you banned. I think Yami and Yugi would be ashamed. By the way, Is it just me, or does Cheater #2 look EXACTLY like Bandit Kieth but without the shades and the Bandanna?
Anyone who cheats is a disgrace. Even as a kid I shared this sentiment. Kids don’t know better, but they ideally learn. It doesn’t matter if they have skill. I won’t name another name, but I was told of a bribery instance with someone I knew who won an sjc and failed in another. Never cheated against me. I went x-1 or x-0 until I had to leave bc friend’s parents lol.
When I began yugioh as a kid , another who literally wore an American bandanna, tried to say if he won he’d get my raigeki - f him, told the judge and gone.

Great video! I hope this would discourage folks from cheating ... but alas, it will happen again.
So, where's Kaiba? :D
One time, I used flamberge baou without discarding in dueling network, when I realised that, I felt bad and admited defeat :(

40 Crush Card Viruses at that time huh? Well, I'm glad to have been one of those proud 40 owners of Crush Card Virus! I got that along with a Grandmaster of the Six Samurai from the Gold edition back then.
Why would they ban people for playing for money?
they are communists.
kazuki takahashi deosn't want people to use his game for money, thought in his manga Joey do
The dude that got banned for punching someone seemed to be in the right for me. I don't have the full story but it sounds like nothing was being done about the dice throwing, so at that point it becomes self defense.
That fedora tip at intro is worth a dislike.
Was there ever anyone who ever went to a RL YGO tournament with a random deck that was not dedicated to an specific archtype or gimmick? 'Cause everyone seems to be rolling meta decks
Real Number 1 Cheater, of all time, yuma tsukumo episode 98. yugioh zexal.
1 monster on field, 0 in hand, 1 in deck.
Yuma stacked the card on the bottom of his deck with a card effect the turn before.
In his draw phase his opponent ,Vector, activates a mind crush like card. Calling The Card Correctly!!!
Yuma then changes the card entirely with alien magic super powers.
Fucking Cheater!!!
Firesboilingpoint05 It's called a Deus Ex Machina not a cheat as they were using magic
Cheating is extremely common in yugioh tournaments. A HUGE part of winning is to always assume your opponent may potentially cheat, and to constantly employ anti cheating techniques.
Always ask how many cards they have, don't allow them put their hands under the table, ask them to play slowly once they start going super fast, keep track of erratad cards, always keep track of lifepoints yourself and verify often, ask them to cut your deck not hold it sideways and shuffle so they can see your cards, watch them side deck, keep track of traps they just set that turn so they don't activate the turn they are set, don't let them stack you cut their deck well and unpredictably, ugh and SO many other things hahahaha.
The sad truth is the quote 'all the pro players cheat' is basically true. Of course, most non pro players cheat too. Everyone cheats, both pros and non pros alike. Learn anti cheating techniques and you will become a better player.

I think the number 3 guy Jay Kim should be number 10 on the list rather than in the top 3 or that he shouldn't be on the list at all because he sounds like a victim of circumstance after getting his deck presumably stolen.
What really sucks is that he was also banned after of being *victimized* due to said circumstances which is basically adding salt to the wound. That just makes it hurt so much more.
A regular disqualification would have been sufficient given he was a *victim* of theft. Konami really does give players a royal screw job and is not even compassionate towards such tragic incidents.
Thing is, Kim was plain stupid. Yes, he had a good record. Yes, by winning the next game he would top the event. BUT... that was all history when his deck had gone missing. He shouldve just dropped from the tournament, there was no way he was getting through with playing another deck... BUT... he still did. Such stupidity deserves to get banned.
It is mentality like that that is the reason why there is so much indecency in the card game. Calling him stupid? His deck was STOLEN and he was banned because of his circumstances.
Given what happened to him as he was a *victim* of theft and couldn't compete anyways, a plain disqualification SHOULD have been the answer, not a 2 year ban. Compassion and understanding are things that *should* exist given circumstances like his and others.
It is people with no moral fiber that taint the game with cheating and using "technicalities" (dishonest abuse of using the rules to win by default/disqualification) to win.
When situations like Kim's happens, it is understandable and therefore deserves compassion and *lenient* punishment. The mentality of calling victims of circumstance like his stupid makes those people less than scum. The elitist/asshole attitude has to stop and decency has to take precedence over execution of the "rules" that are easily abused and tainted in favor of those who would take advantage of it.
