Funny thing, there was actually a moment in a Duel Links tournament where a player was playing as Joey and using Joey's deck and the opponent was playing as Jaden using Jaden's deck. The Jaden player was pretty much guaranteed to win on his next turn as he had 3 monsters on the field, and the Joey player only had one very weak monster like the Red Eyes Black Chick on the field for defense. And it was the Joey player's draw phase....and he drew Time Wizard. He then played Time Wizard and activated the effect, and he called it right, wiping out "Jaden's" field, and then he performed a direct attack with Time Wizard to win the duel. That was real life "Joey Wheeler Luck" in play right there for sure! XD
I summoned Five Headed Dragon while playing against my friend. I destroyed their last monster and ended my turn. During their next turn, they apparently had no useful options or monsters, other than Time Wizard. They went for it's effect, and called it right... Never before had I been so happy to lose a powerful monster, but that was an awesome way for it to happen XD
ipwnwontons Yeah. I would ONLY use it in conjunction with Shield & Sword. Also can't forget about Battle Warrior. It won him his duel with Bonz but after that there's no reason for him to keep it in his deck.
@@bunnyboyking5215 then again in the anime there was an actual achetype of the landstar monsters. there were all vanilla monsters for some inexplicable reason s i have to give credit joey for being just that balls to the wall insane
There are even more in the manga... to the point where Tristan even said "Your more of a Gambler then a duelist." He even had an extra cheeky card in the deck called "Result Change" that allowed him to reject a Bad result, spin the roulette spider (or toss coin, or roll the dice) again with it becoming impossible for the Bad result from before to show up again.
I think Joey's dad is where his reliance on gambles comes from, and makes for a nice compare and contrast (Mr. Wheeler gambles for himself and lust for riches, generally losing, Joey gambles for his friends and love of Duel Monsters, generally winning).
I've always felt that Yugi, Kaiba and Joey represented the three core aspects you need to be good at this game. Yugi represented strategy, Kaiba represented the collecting aspect and Joey, luck!
Meh both kaiba and yugi were strategists. More accurately yugi was more geared at synergy and combination plays. Kaiba typically was focused on powerful cards. Joey was the gimmick player.
"but we're not talking about the real version, we're talking about Joey's version" Joey Wheeler, such a real nigga that he has his own versions of cards.
I just recalled when Pegasus is talking with Aster, the guy that just curb stomped most of the cast outta nowhere on GX, when he praises him but basically says there are other people that are better than him one of then being Joey.
Blackzero jar of greed always struck me as a thoroughly useless card. I mean why even run it when the odds of you drawing the card that you need are exactly the same as the odds of you drawing jar of greed? BUT I realized when I built my first exodia deck that running two or three jar of greens actually does tip the odds in your favor. 1:it can be used as a Hail Mary when you have four pieces and are about to lose the duel. 2: it let's you draw cards when you need it and balances your draw power between the cards in your hand and those on the field so you still having something if that One Day of Peace gets destroyed from your hand somehow. 3: at the start of the duel you draw your 5 cards(or 6 depending on who went first) and your odds are 5/40 of you getting the one card you need. if running exodia, your odds change from that 1 in 8 to 1 in seven because you have decreased the decks population by having 5 cards that you need. all of that is to say that each Jar of Greed basically reduces the # of cards in your deck x the # of jar of greens that you are running. if you were to just draw one card and it was a card that let's you draw specifically on card you odds of drawing the card that you need on your first draw change from 1/40 to 1/39. That said, it's still not an amazing card and you'd be better off with one of them and 1 card trader, but it does have a use, which was a nice surprise for this long time duelist. I hope that helped because I was honestly baffled by and angry with that card's very existence for years.

He got so far without the advantages of Yugi (the Pharaoh) and Kaiba (Money), to the point of reaching the semi-finals of Battle City without any God cards and without fate on his side (Yugi, Kaiba and Marik were destined to face each other in Battle City). Luck (his only advantage) is not as sure as the "heart of the cards" or money, Joey won and lost, always giving his best.
If I can remember, Joey's dad was a ludopath gambler so Joey grow in an ambient full of dices rolls, coin flips and general gambles... apparently, he was born with the luck his father lacked.
His Match against Marik will always be the best one outta the lot. He came oh so close to beating Marik and surprisingly saving the world. Plus he could've met Yugi in the finals and proved his skills at possibly beating *The King of Games* Ah well...
He was about to win and I'll still say that he won, but sadly, according to Battle City regulations, falling unconscious means instant disqualification, apparently. They couldn't get a do over? What if it was a medical condition? The hell, Kaiba? "You're a third rate duelist with a fourth rate immune system!"
Agreed to me he will always be the champion in that duel and I can always imagine what Kaiba’s reaction would’ve been to see Joey hold the wing dragon of Ra oh the happiness
What about "Question?" That was the most entertaining Jinzo summon of all! Of course It wasn't really luck considering Alligator Sword (the first monster to go in Joey's Graveyard) was removed from play. But it tested Marik's luck nonetheless....
i knew i forgot something. hang on... 1 flip-ahahah. 2 flip-ahahah. 3 flip-ahahah. 4 fli-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NO HE'S KILLING ME----NOOOOOOO! ...and i'm back. Can't be done.
David Potts Step 1: Take the coin with the heads facing up. Step 2: Lift the coin so it is about 1/2” above the surface you want the coin to land on. Step 3: Drop the coin and make sure it’s heads (this is made easier if it’s a trick coin with two heads). Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 as many times as you need heads in a row.
Joey: "I activate my magic card....If I get 20 heads in a row I win the game if not I lose the game". Villian:" Ha there's no way your gonna all 20 heads in a row". *20 heads later* Villian: "What the FU-" *Gets sent to the shadow realm*
You forgot about Joey using time wizard's power during their time in ancient Egypt to reveal the ancient machine that allowed them to fly closer to Atem
Time wizards seems more like a "discuss the result and the one making up the better shenanigans will get to have them go off" card in the anime. I mean if it was used on pegasus toons it would have likely turned them into CGI animations thus making them entirely undefeatable following the logic of the anime.
@@DarkChocolateGamer Then why doesn't my luck power work for it? I'm incredibly lucky in rng based things. It's like I have a super power that greatly influences rng in my favor while sapping all of the luck from my opponents. For some reason it does not work in Yu-Gi-Oh. It works very rarely. Luckiest was getting Exodia on 2nd turn. I gambled a reckless greed thinking it wouldn't happen. Sure enough the two pieces I needed. Other than that no dice.
His fight with Marik was the greatest time he beat the odds. According to Kaiba, him or Yugi had a 3% chance of beating Marik's deck with two god cards. Even after Kaiba added Fiend Santuary, it was only 20%. Joey didn't have any god cards or Fiend Sanctuary and still technically beat him.
You did forget one actually with Time Wizard. He used the Time Wizard to turn back the clock in three part Legendary Warriors Arc to revive that flying machine.
For the Fairy Box: because timings are all screwed up and the players don't declare phase changes, it can be argued that Joey activated Fairy Box in response to Mako's attack declaration, which is the closest we get to a declaration of phase change, meaning it was still Main Phase 1, allowing Mako to choose to remain in Main Phase 1 and activate Umi before declaring battle.
At least in Duelist Kingdom, it seems to be an unwritten rule that when monsters are destroyed by a card effect, the controller loses life points equal to half the monster's attack points. Most likely this was to allow the game to move along in a version where direct attacks weren't a normal option. You most often see this when people lose life points from Yugi activating mirror force, and yes when Time Wizard destroys things (although time wizard is very inconsistent between destroying things and aging them). It's also why Panik lost when his monsters were flattened by the Castle of Dark Illusions. But like everything in Duelist Kingdom, it's not 100% consistent.
So in conclusion, time wizard was Joey’s gateway into gambling. Yugi gave him time wizard. Luck certainly was on joeys side, however…did the bond he built with Atem/yugi possibly influence certain events? Think about how Joey risked his life for the millennium puzzle multiple occasions, 3-4 I believe. And with the puzzles power granting, in theory, willpower, luck, heart of the cards…did the pharaoh’s spirit give Joey better luck than he may have had ? Just randomly thought that up lol but Joey is a legend, that man straight beat Marik and we all saw
What are the Odd of getting 500 Likes on this video? Also if you enjoyed that and want to see my list of Top 10 Yugioh Shenanigans click here: th-cam.com/video/-0DI7z4gKf0/w-d-xo.html
I wonder if some of the luck effect from Yugi's millennium puzzle rubs off onto Joey, since Yugi is rooting for Joey to win? Incase some people don't know, the millennium puzzle increases it's owners chance of winning games, and the more important the game, the more luck it gives. I think i actually learned that from one of your video's TGS! Can't remember which one though!
Joey aproves this message because if he was angry at you you needed to watch out cuz joey's anger is called rage and that rage is from a specific area of new york so yeah.......... BROOKLYN RAGE!
The thing about skull & graceful dice is if you need a specific result out of the 5 good results, your odds go from 5/6 - 2/3 at best if both are used, and one didn't get the result you hoped for, but increased the number range you need on the other
Graceful dice must be on monsters with 500 Atk or less? No wonder Joey never used Graceful Dice on Jinzo against Zigfried! He had it in his hand and I always wondered why he never played it.
asdfers at least in Battle City, a lot of burn and monster destruction effects were banned. In the Marik!Joey vs Yugi duel, it's mentioned Hinotama is a banned card. So it's unlikely you'd get much chain burn there.
You honestly cannot complain about the rules in the anime. They're based on the Manga, and the Manga is quite clear that spells can pretty much be used any time. And prior to Battle City, which uses "Super Expert Rules", everyone used the Basic Rules which allows you to play monsters without tribute.
Hey dude, i'm not always positive with these kind of shows on youtube. But i have 1 thing to say: U are an awesome HOST!!!! U really work in a very nice mood infront of the camara and u have a really smoth/moderate voice. I will not say i'm suscribing to your channel (cause i only have a sub with max dood, do not get me wrong), but i'll keep watching your videos, even if there are no themes that i could understand. THX for the good time, grettings from MX, (y)
Yeah I say that in the original series the dualers could essentially pick the rules to the game based on the lure of the card. They didn't matter if it was true or not as long as it seemed to fall within the lore of the cards
I can’t believe I’ve watched the anime several times and didn’t know Graceful needed to be 500 or less atk monster. Also, they should print the ones they haven’t yet. The artwork is pretty cool.
He also had a card call question which he used against Merrick which for those of you who don't know When activating this card, your opponent cannot check cards in the Graveyard. Your opponent calls the name of the first monster found at the bottom of your Graveyard. If he/she calls it right, the monster is removed from play. If he/she calls it wrong, the monster is Special Summoned to your side of the field.
Pegasus also pulled some anime shenanigans in hi duel against Joey (real life actor duel) earlier in 2016, where his Burning Abyss monsters aged a thousand years but nothing happened! (Thousand Eyes Restrict was oddly ignored too)
Honestly, I’m surprised Joey never used Ordeal of a Traveler. The opponent has to guess a card in your hand is a monster, spell or trap. And if they guess wrong, the attacking monster returns to the hand. I started using it in Ultimate Masters 2006 for the GBA, and it’s broken against the AI!
Kevin Li The theme mostly seems to be that he lacks a lot of the good cards, so he supplements his deck with cards that have potentially good effects based on luck. He does get better cards as time goes on, but Yugi and Kaiba are by that point acquiring cards like the Gods themselves and Chaos Emperor Dragon. He clearly has a lot of skill, maybe more than Yugi and Kaiba, really, but he isn't rich, his grandfather doesn't own a game shop, he can't magically will his cards to do whatever he wants, and doesn't have the plot power the other two do. While his luck cards do use a large amount of his natural luck, it also takes skill to pop them when he does, very few are just mindless rolls. And a lot of the bigger ones were from filler so that's a little more forgivable (Kaiba going from a jerk to a jerk with a backstory but still a jerk, Yami is the ace and Yugi is a Kuriboh, Joey is a gambler, Rebecca is a smart brat, Tea is all about that friendship, Tristan may as well not exist, Mokuba in distress, Mai has boobs, etc. They expand and exaggerate character traits for filler a lot)
The anime time wizard gives a 2/3 chance of failure and the fact that the placing of the skulls probably makes the likelihood of success even less. And I wouldn't call time wizard a "tech". If you make more lists can you cover ritual, fusion, synchro xyz and pendulum monsters from the anime?
The anime's odds are indeterminant. There are 6 "faces" on the time wizard's wand, however the successes are double the size of the failures, meaning the odds intended could either be 2/3rds or 50/50. We can't tell from the design of the clock face... However the time wizard's wand is clearly not meant to spin like roulette spider is. It's rigged, which means that it could literally be any arbitrary percentage that the game designer chose.
there should be a card called Live Or Die and it's effect would be: Flip 1 coin, if it lands on heads your opponent takes 8000 damage but if it lands on tails you take 8000 damage. This card can only be used once per duel
Imagine getting that card in your hand first turn. That would speed things up too much. Perhaps an errata to that would be make it continuous, limited, and the effect would be you each flip a coin. Call it right, nothing happens. Call it wrong and you take 1000 burn damage. Okay, mine would be more like Poison Chance, but I like yours too
Actually, this does raise a question; If Joey was successful using the Time Roulette during his duel with Bonz, what would've become of the Flame Swordsman? Would he age 1000 year, and become a brand new monster, very similar to how Baby Dragon became Thousand Dragon and the Dark Magician becoming the Dark Sage? Or would nothing happen? If it's the Former, let's theorize what could possibly be. In my mind, I think Flame Swordsman would transform into Ancient Flame Swordsman, OR Flame Swordsman the Immortal. A level 9, Fire, Warrior Type monster. And if you want, you could make it a Fusion monster very similar to the Thousand Dragon. I think it's ATK and DEF would be double from his original ATK and DEF. So from 1800 to 3600 for his ATK, and 1600 to 3200 for his DEF. Appearance wise, Ancient Flame Swordsmen would, obviously, be an older version of the Flame Swordsman, which his hair, (provided if he had hair,) would be longer and grayed. Multiple wrinkles and his clothes a tattered, worn and torn. I could also envision a cape that's engulfed in flames, as well as the horns and spikes on his armor being engulfed as well. And as for his sword, I think it would be a combination of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword, but containing the symbol of fire, and a black flame is engulfing the sword. I would like think that he would have some effect at his disposal. Something along the lines of; This card can be special summon from your Extra Deck by sending one Time Wizard and Flame Swordsman or Blue Flame Swordsman is on the field after the effect of Time Wizard were applied. (You do not need to use Polymerization.) This Card gain 300 ATK for every Fire Attribute Monster in your graveyard. Other Fire Attribute Monsters you control cannot be targeted by your opponent's monster attacks or card effects. Once per turn, you can pay 1000 LP to select one monster on the field and turn it into a Fire Attribute, excluding other Fire Attribute Monsters. Once per turn, you can banish one Fire Attribute Monster from your Graveyard to destroy one card on you opponents side of the field. If this card targets a Fire Attribute monster via this effect, you can return one Fire Attribute monster from you Banished Zone to your GY. If this card should be destroyed by either attack or card effect, you can banished one Fire Attribute Monster from your GY and special summon this card.
I'd say that his biggest showing of luck was one he never intended. When he was dueling the cheating psychic the way Joey is holding his cards makes the psychic siblings, who were checking out Joey's hand via binoculars, think he had two graceful dice instead of a graceful dice and a skull dice.
There are a few details that weren't covered with Roulette Spider in the anime. Joey himself referred to it as a very risky move. Espa Roba ends up commenting after Jinzo is snared that Joey's deck is so lame that he's got nothing to lose. On a side note regarding Joey's first Battle City duel, it was almost handed to him by default since he smoked out the cheating tactic that was being used which led to Mokuba's immediate response to the cheating. Only reason a disqualification wasn't handed out was because of Yugi's presence.
I hated how they portrayed Joey as more luck then skill I mean if you seen his match against valon they showed complete skills no luck I'm hurt he never beat kaiba
I consider luck based cards as a perfect mechanic for casual duels. It adds a bit of excitement to the duel as you wait for the results as well as keeping the game on a more level playing field dis[ite what kinds of decks your and your opponent are playing. However, I don't think it would necessarily be good with Dice re-roll or second coin toss as that can get quit annoying, especially if either player runs 3 of each. They might be ok as a 1 though
"dice" is the plural of "die", actually. A single one is a die, two or more are dice. Which yes, does make it a bit odd that most die-related cards use only a single one but many have the plural "dice" in the name
Joey would do really well in the Pokémon TCG, considering how many card effects in that game revolve around flipping a coin (or rolling a die, treating even numbers as heads and odd numbers as tails)
I really enjoy your interactions with things in the video instead of just sitting statue still and boring.. Like when you flipped the coin and gasped at the end. The little things make the video good

What about "Question?" That was the most entertaining Jinzo summon of all! Of course It wasn't really luck considering Alligator Sword (the first monster to go in Joey's Graveyard) was removed from play. But it tested Marik's luck nonetheless....
"No! I spent so much time monologuing I forgot to pay attention to what i destroyed first!"
That was one of the best Joey lines ever though "Nope stunned silence was not the answer we were looking for" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I flipped a coin 10 times, it landed on the edge all 10 times gg
I flipped a coin and it turned into a Sasquatch and killed me.
Skooby Doobop but did it do it 10 times in a row?
i knew i forgot something. hang on...
1 flip-ahahah. 2 flip-ahahah. 3 flip-ahahah. 4 fli-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NO HE'S KILLING ME----NOOOOOOO!
...and i'm back. Can't be done.
It's actually insanely easy to do if you know the right way to flip it. I've gotten heads more than 15 times before using that technique.
David Potts Step 1: Take the coin with the heads facing up.
Step 2: Lift the coin so it is about 1/2” above the surface you want the coin to land on.
Step 3: Drop the coin and make sure it’s heads (this is made easier if it’s a trick coin with two heads).
Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 as many times as you need heads in a row.
Imagine how many of these cards would be staples of duke devlin if he played this game?
Dr. Barber duke does play, just rarely duels
Lockon stratos iirc he played about 2 times in the entire series
***** yep but like I said he does duel just very rarely
Nothing but cards that double as sexual innuendos. Because he's Duke Devlin.
There's a reason Duke made Joey his bitch in that one episode.
Joey: "I activate my magic card....If I get 20 heads in a row I win the game if not I lose the game".
Villian:" Ha there's no way your gonna all 20 heads in a row".
*20 heads later*
Villian: "What the FU-"
*Gets sent to the shadow realm*
He should play Exodia then. It's almost twice as likely to get all five Exodia pieces on your opening turn than getting head twenty times in a row
😂😂😂😂😂 I wish that was a real scene.
@@shadowhunter9835
They should put it in an abridged series if nothing else XD
@@feathero3 😂😂😂😂 I would love that.
You forgot about Joey using time wizard's power during their time in ancient Egypt to reveal the ancient machine that allowed them to fly closer to Atem
Time wizards seems more like a "discuss the result and the one making up the better shenanigans will get to have them go off" card in the anime. I mean if it was used on pegasus toons it would have likely turned them into CGI animations thus making them entirely undefeatable following the logic of the anime.
Or they'd all fade into obscurity (banished) because people don't like old cgi.
Joey will defeat you via luck, which is one of the most annoying/clutch ways to lose a duel.
Z.D.F yugioh in general is luck based
That is in a way true. Getting cards at the exact right time to negate your opponents plays, hoping the opponent doesnt do the same to you, etc.
@@DarkChocolateGamer Then why doesn't my luck power work for it? I'm incredibly lucky in rng based things. It's like I have a super power that greatly influences rng in my favor while sapping all of the luck from my opponents. For some reason it does not work in Yu-Gi-Oh. It works very rarely. Luckiest was getting Exodia on 2nd turn. I gambled a reckless greed thinking it wouldn't happen. Sure enough the two pieces I needed. Other than that no dice.

His fight with Marik was the greatest time he beat the odds. According to Kaiba, him or Yugi had a 3% chance of beating Marik's deck with two god cards. Even after Kaiba added Fiend Santuary, it was only 20%. Joey didn't have any god cards or Fiend Sanctuary and still technically beat him.
How Marik was scared and almost vomit after that duel, wow.
I hate that Joey wasn't given the win simply because it was a shadow game
@@DeathGodRiku But that's why Joey almost won. Marik wasn't taking him seriously. He was focused on the shadow game instead of dueling.
@@RenaldyCalixte Marik is a terrible duelist if he’s just going to underestimate his opponents just because they don’t have a god card.
@@Mindless029 That makes sense
Jonouchi sure is good at multiplication and division for a kid who used to run with young toughs.
I tried the coin flipping thing, I though "I can do it, it'll be easy"... first result was tails
unlucky haha
It would be amazing if joeys first xyz monster would be Number 85 Crazy Box
You did forget one actually with Time Wizard. He used the Time Wizard to turn back the clock in three part Legendary Warriors Arc to revive that flying machine.
Matthew Brown did he succeed
Sergio Sanchez Yes.
Meh, virtual reality filler arc. How many times did they fight that 5 headed dragon?
millennials4trump millennials4AlexJones Man the Yu-gi-oh anime is weird.
ReBoot Fan can't deny how bad ass dragon master knight was
Maybe the next time Joey and Kaiba duel, Kaiba shoukd add "Dice Try" to his deck, a trap card that negates the effects of cards that need dice to work
He wouldn't consider wheeler worth the effort
Joey Wheeler ultimate lucky duelist
Danganronpa reference? :D
Zaikozila finally someone got it
It's cool because he;s actually in high school. But he never goes to class...eh...screw the law, I have plot armor?
Komaeda and Naegi dueling would be kinda cool to watch...
Zaikozila same maybe he could teach Nagito Komaeda and Makoto Naegi a few things.
The millions of times he drew the exact card he needed at the time he needed it, like Yug,i throughout the entire series.
I didn't know whether to like or dislike this video, so I flipped a coin
what did you get?
No game no life's coin toss results
I liked it so much I hit the like button a hundred times in a row.
Edwin Harbauer so in the end, you unliked the video.
Joey's lord of the red moment needs more mentions in general, it's just too good of a moment where we see him as a reliable duelist
For the Fairy Box: because timings are all screwed up and the players don't declare phase changes, it can be argued that Joey activated Fairy Box in response to Mako's attack declaration, which is the closest we get to a declaration of phase change, meaning it was still Main Phase 1, allowing Mako to choose to remain in Main Phase 1 and activate Umi before declaring battle.
At least in Duelist Kingdom, it seems to be an unwritten rule that when monsters are destroyed by a card effect, the controller loses life points equal to half the monster's attack points. Most likely this was to allow the game to move along in a version where direct attacks weren't a normal option. You most often see this when people lose life points from Yugi activating mirror force, and yes when Time Wizard destroys things (although time wizard is very inconsistent between destroying things and aging them). It's also why Panik lost when his monsters were flattened by the Castle of Dark Illusions. But like everything in Duelist Kingdom, it's not 100% consistent.
Time Wizard might be the most random card in the series...
Gabre
either you leave yourself open to direct attack or you get rid of your opponent monsters.
just like Russian Roulette
Except there are no guns in 4kids.
No, Double Spell is. It had like 3 different effects according to Yami. xDD
The G-Wing but in the original Japanese version
And the card that hates me the most. Joey only FAILED once: I only SUCCEEDED once.
I took him out of my deck after the sixth failure.
“Improving his deck” *shows joey with swordsman of landstar* sure
So in conclusion, time wizard was Joey’s gateway into gambling. Yugi gave him time wizard. Luck certainly was on joeys side, however…did the bond he built with Atem/yugi possibly influence certain events? Think about how Joey risked his life for the millennium puzzle multiple occasions, 3-4 I believe. And with the puzzles power granting, in theory, willpower, luck, heart of the cards…did the pharaoh’s spirit give Joey better luck than he may have had ? Just randomly thought that up lol but Joey is a legend, that man straight beat Marik and we all saw

TGS Anime the luckiest guy ever xD
TGS Anime I enjoy these Top 10 videos quite a lot.
50/50 XD
The manga the anime is based off of came before the game. If something doesn't make sense with the game that's because it was manga material.
TGS Anime i goot 10 heads in a row
I wonder if some of the luck effect from Yugi's millennium puzzle rubs off onto Joey, since Yugi is rooting for Joey to win?
Incase some people don't know, the millennium puzzle increases it's owners chance of winning games, and the more important the game, the more luck it gives.
I think i actually learned that from one of your video's TGS! Can't remember which one though!
It also summon cards to the top of your deck
Nah i think it only works for the user however if yugi was actually betting things on joey winning maybe
@@williampinkley1842 The first time we see an explicit Destiny Draw in series is when Yami Yugi ensures Joey draws Time Wizard against Mai.

Ryan Klaassen NYEh NYEH NYEEH
Tingle Rupee I remeber that I think
I always loved Joey duels. There are so many duels he should have won but still ended up losing in the end due to a variety of strange reasons.
great episode I always thought it was funny how joey got so lucky throughout his duels he's definitely in my top 5 duelists throughout each series
funny enough, real TimeWizard has even less chances of failing.
The thing about skull & graceful dice is if you need a specific result out of the 5 good results, your odds go from 5/6 - 2/3 at best if both are used, and one didn't get the result you hoped for, but increased the number range you need on the other
Graceful dice must be on monsters with 500 Atk or less? No wonder Joey never used Graceful Dice on Jinzo against Zigfried! He had it in his hand and I always wondered why he never played it.
One of my favorite videos from this channel so far for a multitude of reasons, extremely well done :)
honestly if i was in this series and was not the main character with all the OP cards and deck stacking, I would play nothing but luck cards.
asdfers at least in Battle City, a lot of burn and monster destruction effects were banned. In the Marik!Joey vs Yugi duel, it's mentioned Hinotama is a banned card. So it's unlikely you'd get much chain burn there.
I'm honestly considering being a luck player myself. I've already gotten a 6 on Dice Jar before against another player
Joey is the human equivalent of a reverse card
so joey basically has a trap version of Shrink lol
You honestly cannot complain about the rules in the anime. They're based on the Manga, and the Manga is quite clear that spells can pretty much be used any time. And prior to Battle City, which uses "Super Expert Rules", everyone used the Basic Rules which allows you to play monsters without tribute.
I never relised how luck based Joey's deck was
logan I just fine it funny that people complain that GX was luck based
logan it's even more so in the manga.
Hey dude, i'm not always positive with these kind of shows on youtube. But i have 1 thing to say: U are an awesome HOST!!!!

8:52 Joey, I told you to stay away from those gnarly drugs!
Yeah I say that in the original series the dualers could essentially pick the rules to the game based on the lure of the card. They didn't matter if it was true or not as long as it seemed to fall within the lore of the cards
I used to play YuGiOh, and my friends always liked to call me Joey Wheeler, as my real name is... Well... read my nsme.
All you need is a Brooklyn accent and inconceivably impeccable luck
game84cube don’t forget the ability to make that weird-ass face.
Heh.
I can’t believe I’ve watched the anime several times and didn’t know Graceful needed to be 500 or less atk monster.
Also, they should print the ones they haven’t yet. The artwork is pretty cool.
The King of Luck, the one and only Joey Wheeler! ^-^
He also had a card call question which he used against Merrick which for those of you who don't know When activating this card, your opponent cannot check cards in the Graveyard. Your opponent calls the name of the first monster found at the bottom of your Graveyard. If he/she calls it right, the monster is removed from play. If he/she calls it wrong, the monster is Special Summoned to your side of the field.
We need that card that Joey got when he merged the claw of hermos and time wizard!
Blue Moon Jaymyin Time Magic Hammer has already been released
Pegasus also pulled some anime shenanigans in hi duel against Joey (real life actor duel) earlier in 2016, where his Burning Abyss monsters aged a thousand years but nothing happened! (Thousand Eyes Restrict was oddly ignored too)
you noticed that when time wizards effects only worked when he was losing
Honestly, I’m surprised Joey never used Ordeal of a Traveler. The opponent has to guess a card in your hand is a monster, spell or trap. And if they guess wrong, the attacking monster returns to the hand. I started using it in Ultimate Masters 2006 for the GBA, and it’s broken against the AI!
Whenever I call a heads or tails in Yugioh, I get it wrong like 90% of the time. I wish I had Joey's luck
Kevin Li The theme mostly seems to be that he lacks a lot of the good cards, so he supplements his deck with cards that have potentially good effects based on luck. He does get better cards as time goes on, but Yugi and Kaiba are by that point acquiring cards like the Gods themselves and Chaos Emperor Dragon. He clearly has a lot of skill, maybe more than Yugi and Kaiba, really, but he isn't rich, his grandfather doesn't own a game shop, he can't magically will his cards to do whatever he wants, and doesn't have the plot power the other two do. While his luck cards do use a large amount of his natural luck, it also takes skill to pop them when he does, very few are just mindless rolls. And a lot of the bigger ones were from filler so that's a little more forgivable (Kaiba going from a jerk to a jerk with a backstory but still a jerk, Yami is the ace and Yugi is a Kuriboh, Joey is a gambler, Rebecca is a smart brat, Tea is all about that friendship, Tristan may as well not exist, Mokuba in distress, Mai has boobs, etc. They expand and exaggerate character traits for filler a lot)
@@Kairnestar "Tristan may as well not exist...Mai has boobs..." That made me laugh.
I bet if Joey played warhammer tabletop, he'd played the orks
The anime time wizard gives a 2/3 chance of failure and the fact that the placing of the skulls probably makes the likelihood of success even less. And I wouldn't call time wizard a "tech".
If you make more lists can you cover ritual, fusion, synchro xyz and pendulum monsters from the anime?
iBenjamin1000 I have a video planned about all the summoning methods funnily enough. Should be out in a week or two
He called Dark Sage a tech.
The anime's odds are indeterminant. There are 6 "faces" on the time wizard's wand, however the successes are double the size of the failures, meaning the odds intended could either be 2/3rds or 50/50. We can't tell from the design of the clock face...
However the time wizard's wand is clearly not meant to spin like roulette spider is. It's rigged, which means that it could literally be any arbitrary percentage that the game designer chose.
there should be a card called Live Or Die and it's effect would be:
Flip 1 coin, if it lands on heads your opponent takes 8000 damage but if it lands on tails you take 8000 damage. This card can only be used once per duel
Dead Memz people usually play with 4000
@@grmworld6922 in the anime...
@@samueljackson3512 no irl too
Imagine getting that card in your hand first turn. That would speed things up too much. Perhaps an errata to that would be make it continuous, limited, and the effect would be you each flip a coin. Call it right, nothing happens. Call it wrong and you take 1000 burn damage.
Okay, mine would be more like Poison Chance, but I like yours too

Actually, this does raise a question; If Joey was successful using the Time Roulette during his duel with Bonz, what would've become of the Flame Swordsman? Would he age 1000 year, and become a brand new monster, very similar to how Baby Dragon became Thousand Dragon and the Dark Magician becoming the Dark Sage? Or would nothing happen?
If it's the Former, let's theorize what could possibly be.
In my mind, I think Flame Swordsman would transform into Ancient Flame Swordsman, OR Flame Swordsman the Immortal. A level 9, Fire, Warrior Type monster. And if you want, you could make it a Fusion monster very similar to the Thousand Dragon. I think it's ATK and DEF would be double from his original ATK and DEF. So from 1800 to 3600 for his ATK, and 1600 to 3200 for his DEF.
Appearance wise, Ancient Flame Swordsmen would, obviously, be an older version of the Flame Swordsman, which his hair, (provided if he had hair,) would be longer and grayed. Multiple wrinkles and his clothes a tattered, worn and torn. I could also envision a cape that's engulfed in flames, as well as the horns and spikes on his armor being engulfed as well. And as for his sword, I think it would be a combination of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword, but containing the symbol of fire, and a black flame is engulfing the sword.
I would like think that he would have some effect at his disposal. Something along the lines of; This card can be special summon from your Extra Deck by sending one Time Wizard and Flame Swordsman or Blue Flame Swordsman is on the field after the effect of Time Wizard were applied. (You do not need to use Polymerization.) This Card gain 300 ATK for every Fire Attribute Monster in your graveyard. Other Fire Attribute Monsters you control cannot be targeted by your opponent's monster attacks or card effects. Once per turn, you can pay 1000 LP to select one monster on the field and turn it into a Fire Attribute, excluding other Fire Attribute Monsters. Once per turn, you can banish one Fire Attribute Monster from your Graveyard to destroy one card on you opponents side of the field. If this card targets a Fire Attribute monster via this effect, you can return one Fire Attribute monster from you Banished Zone to your GY. If this card should be destroyed by either attack or card effect, you can banished one Fire Attribute Monster from your GY and special summon this card.
14:48 I got 10 heads in a row, because i believed in the heart of the coins.
Is that Joey's big secret?
If Joey had the puzzle with his already crazy he would be unstoppable
This is just some Joey magic.
I'd say that his biggest showing of luck was one he never intended. When he was dueling the cheating psychic the way Joey is holding his cards makes the psychic siblings, who were checking out Joey's hand via binoculars, think he had two graceful dice instead of a graceful dice and a skull dice.
u could have said that joey should have gone off to Vegas or something
There are a few details that weren't covered with Roulette Spider in the anime. Joey himself referred to it as a very risky move. Espa Roba ends up commenting after Jinzo is snared that Joey's deck is so lame that he's got nothing to lose. On a side note regarding Joey's first Battle City duel, it was almost handed to him by default since he smoked out the cheating tactic that was being used which led to Mokuba's immediate response to the cheating. Only reason a disqualification wasn't handed out was because of Yugi's presence.
LUCK is Not CHEATING though... i wanna see you praying with that argument in say LAS VEGAS XD
I love it when you talk about the anime, brings back some good old funny memories.
Keep up the good work
I hated how they portrayed Joey as more luck then skill I mean if you seen his match against valon they showed complete skills no luck I'm hurt he never beat kaiba
True, but that duel ended up turning into a boxing match at some point.
I consider luck based cards as a perfect mechanic for casual duels. It adds a bit of excitement to the duel as you wait for the results as well as keeping the game on a more level playing field dis[ite what kinds of decks your and your opponent are playing. However, I don't think it would necessarily be good with Dice re-roll or second coin toss as that can get quit annoying, especially if either player runs 3 of each. They might be ok as a 1 though
Joey actually playa by the rules I swear
Andrew Kaczorowski non of the characters does since they summon level 7 monsters without tributing anything
thegaming pro at least he doesn't somehow hack the entire game like Yugi and marik
+thegaming pro that was only in the first season tho.
This was the first video on your channel i seen and it is probably one of the funniest yugioh videos I have ever seen
Why do yall call the "dice" as "die"?
(I'm not a native english speaker)
Summoner Arthur just a nickname
Star Sitsu oh, thanks.
Ya
die is plural
"dice" is the plural of "die", actually. A single one is a die, two or more are dice. Which yes, does make it a bit odd that most die-related cards use only a single one but many have the plural "dice" in the name
Joey would do really well in the Pokémon TCG, considering how many card effects in that game revolve around flipping a coin (or rolling a die, treating even numbers as heads and odd numbers as tails)
Joey's not a good duelist. He's a lucky one.
I really enjoy your interactions with things in the video instead of just sitting statue still and boring.. Like when you flipped the coin and gasped at the end. The little things make the video good
But seriously Joey has a so powerfull card that multiplies the power of his monster and he wastes it to Lanstar freaking swordman all the time...
ΛΑΖΑΡΟΣ ΕΥΘΥΜΙΑΔΗΣ The greatest insult would of been against Seto Kaiba if he used it on his Red Eyes
It can only be used on monsters with 500 attack or less.
I always told my self that, but tbh I can't recall them saying that in the show. Do they?
When playing the video games, I was so upset that the graceful dice and skull dice didn't have the same effect. I was confident
BROOKLYN RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!
I wonder what if Graceful Dice and Skull Dice retained their anime effects.
