    Just as a heads-up - I'm not "quitting yugioh," or changing my content on this channel. I was just happy to get a break playing something, ANYTHING else in-between Fiendsmith replays. Back to normal tomorrow!

      Honestly, I would have no issue if you decided to take a hiatus from yugioh, and share with us more of these other games.
      Giving us your analysis, seeing in real time how the game evolves since its infancy, making the foundation of its community, etc etc.
      To me it sounds like a more fun time. At least please consider to make more content of this stuff; your community needs the mental healing from being stuck in the same toxic game for decades.

      @chrishansen1842 you see, his current name is MBT-YuGiOh. MBT is a reference to his deck in Magic, Mono Blue Tron. He's known in the YuGiOh community as the "YuGiOh player who plays Magic". However, since he has been making more and more Elestral content, if he ever swapped to Elestrals from YuGiOh but made a new name with a similar name format to his current name, his name would be YugEl since its referencing the game he doesn't play anymore for the game he plays now. Yugi from YuGiOh, and El from Elestral.

    Hey, Gamers. I'm not paid by Elestrals.
    I fully quit Yugioh in April and dove into Elestrals. I haven't had so much fun with a TCG in a LONG time. Decks are exciting there's a LOT that is viable and there's the genuine back and forth that I enjoy from a card game.
    That feeling of needing to top deck the card you need is much more real in Elestrals than I've felt in Yugioh in a LONG time.
    I encourage everyone to pick up Elestrals. 2 Starter Decks (for playsets) and 1 Booster Box should get you enough staples and a strategy to get you going.
    Play Elestrals!

    I only just found out about this game yesterday through your short about Fiendsmith, and now I'm suddenly weirdly invested in the Elestriad series.
    While they currently ship worldwide already, I hope they're able to distribute it in other countries at some point because shipping costs are.
    Oof.
    But that's not their fault, obviously. The game looks really fun! Even if my first thought when I saw a card was "ah yes, Palworld TCG." I don't even mean that as a knock against the art, it just wears its Pokemon inspiration on its sleeve.
    Or the card stock. And the sleeves you can buy.

    I've had a passing interest in Elestrals ever since the first video you did on the topic, but due to the lack of an online client since I'm in the UK, it was hard to justify getting into. But now that I know there's a mobile app in the works, I'd love to try something new!
    If possible, 2 questions for Mister BlueTron:
    1) Given that the game has an online scene but is mostly US based, how accessible do you feel it is for a UK-based player to get into the game for paper product?
    2) As someone who fell in love with their first higher-tiered in-paper deck through your channel in the form of both Lyrilusc and Zoodiac varients of Tri-Brigade, do you have recommendations for mid-range style decks that would scratch a similar itch to this for a total beginner to the game?

    • @JTCasts
      @JTCasts 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hi! I've been playing Elestrals for over a year now, so I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.
      1) Finding cards outside the US is definitely difficult right now, but by no means impossible. There's a secondary marketplace Discord in place right now with a ton of sellers who ship singles internationally, you just have to ask! And the main Elestrals Discord server also regularly hosts webcam and app tournaments that are open to everyone. In fact, there have been several successful players from overseas who regularly play in these events, so you're definitely not alone!
      2) I'd recommend trying out Wind! It's a very midrange toolbox-y deck that revolves around the exceptionally powerful divine rune Aoelus, one of the only runes in the game that searches Elestrals from deck. You have a lot of removal options between Peagust and Soarlet, and even a ramp option in the Hydrake line that can get you to a 3 cost Elestral with 15 attack in one turn for some insane pressure! It's super fun to play and fairly simple to learn, you can also find the vast majority of the cards in the Wind starter deck from 1st Edition!

    I know yu-gi-oh is expensive and all but based on the prices of this game it's pretty up there already, £16 starter decks and £100 booster boxes for a base set and reliant on kickstarter. I dunno to me this game just doesn't seem like it has much of a chance to get it's feet under it.

    The only thing that I dislike about elestrals so far is that I wish the "energy/Life/mana" acted a little more like Digitama in the Digimon TCG. Not quite as impactful mind you but I think they could release "special energy" that give some kind of passive bonus to the equipped creature. Make your life energy stack limited to like 5 of them or something so you still need the basic ones and have to ration your special energy instead of just blowing through all of them in one turn. But I can see arguments against that. Complexity of gamestate could be a very valid one. Also some decks seem to manipulate their equipped energy a lot so I could see ways it could break the game rather than open it up more.

      A FULL set of staples is like $60-100 and then any deck core is all commons that you can get for like $20. Those staples are also going to be meta relevant for many many formats so it’s a one time investment and you’re good to go for quite a while basically😄

      The most expensive card in the game (at low rarity) is $15 and it’s already been confirmed a reprint later this year. The second set released a month ago and no single card eclipsed that price. The main issue is the ability to obtain singles, since the game isn’t on tcgplayer, but this is remedied a bit by a secondary marketplace discord that has almost 1,000 sellers including some vendors/LGS’ selling most of everything.

    • @Redbarron12
      @Redbarron12 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, there is. There are currently 2 options to mill your opponent out. One is via Hummbust which allows you to sit back and cast spells while enjoying seeing your opponent cry as they have their best cards sent to the graveyard. The later also induces a crying state but is played with Lumaroo and Roominous which has a more aggressive strategy and forces your opponent to mill based on whether you destroyed an Elestral or depending on the damage done to your opponent.
