I remember pulling Yata at my locals when I was like 11, and everyone around me was telling me how strong the card was and how lucky, but at the time it just looked like a dumb bird with 200 attack. It still is a dumb bird with 200 attack, but as seen here that's all it needs to be to win games. Chaos era is when I really started attending locals, so Chaos is always a nostalgic deck to see. I always like watching it beat newer decks.
There was one game where it wasn't clear who the winner will be from the start, and I didn't see a lot of interaction either. A lot of setting and passing
Always a super back and forth matchup. Overall, Chaos just seemed to be in another class of power, with Tengu scraping to get their wins. Next matchup is an entertaining one. Tsuko lock is probably the worst deck in the tournament, but being able to win off of just one game makes them an upset threat all the time. Too bad it literally does not matter, I would have liked to see more of mind master OTK
A deck that was built back in what 2004 going against a deck in 2011 being evenly matched. Granted, the deck ran a lot of cards that were banned for a reason, but Snake Eyes could handle them both at full strength. Power creep feels like it’s been ramping up lately, and this kinda highlights that. Edit: I guess if full powered Spyral took on Snake Eyes that might be close, and that would be about the same time gap.
Spyral hasn't done that much in this series, and we've seen like 4 different builds of spyral. Even when people complained about outdated card pool a 2020 build was added to the series and guess what, getting to top 16 was the best spyral could do so it's not that strong of a deck as you're commenting. It would get destroyed by snake eye and Ishtear and even Kash probably.
@@Shinde425 it's not exactly power creep, zoodiac has performed way better than spyral (3rd place in two editions), and both decks are from 2017. It really just depends on matchups, pilots, side decks, etc. In those terms, some MR3 and MR4 are better prepared than others to face MR5. I highly recommend to watch previous editions on this series, and you'll see how zoodiac, pepe, monarchs and TK dino are the less power crept decks in Yu-Gi-Oh 👌🏻
the issue was that the tengu player were too passive and allowed chaos to draw all the cards they needed instead of taking initiative. like when he set tour guide knowing bls can just banish it instead of ns tour guide, use torrential, and force the opponent to have the outs before they draw any normal summon that can do damage
Great stuff as always but maybe a suggestion how to keep the hype a bit up on a group. If you see that the first two placed decks are paired against each other then rather start with the other duel and then run the other, otherwise it is already done over with
Build-a-deck vs Build-a-deck: the best in both of their eras! I wish they had more decks like these in modern Yugioh. Basically a bunch of cards that are not part of the same archetype but synergize well together. Nowadays its runick variants and dragon link.
He could have at least waited for lithiums turn bc if he got lucky yata could have been discarded by the card that draws during oponent turn It was a 1in 5 or 20% chance to happen
People often ask me why I don't like Tengu Plant format and this is exactly the reason, the best deck in the format is Tengu Plant, no point in playing a solved format with 1 deck overwhelmingly beating the rest.
Gx was the best, I miss diamond dude turbo, perfect circle, zombies those were the good days, now in todays yugioh it’s just one card combos and handtraps lol
yugioh died after september 2015 banlist, this was the turning point, BA, nekroz, dolls, tellars were all destroyed on that banlist and up to that point, yugioh decks were all (even though the powercreep existed) resembling the "idea of yugioh" that we all had, BLS, hands, traps, etc, but after that banlist when all those decks got hit, we got PEPE and from there on out, yugioh would never be the same and it would never resemble "the idea of yugioh" we all knew and loved up to that point. Even though, from PEPE onwards, the game was different, it wasnt too bad, but it just wasnt the same, it didnt hit the same, it was still good, and it would remain "good" until the next turning point of powercreep was introduced: tearlaments, from tear onwards this game is complete dogwater.
@Haooryu I'd argue that competitive YGO definitely changed forever after Duelist Alliance. After that set, every deck since has abused the recursion gimmick where BA monsters recycle, Shaddolls recycle, Satellarknight recycle, and Qli recycled via pendulum mechanic. It seemed as if no deck could compete since then if they couldn't innately float or reuse or grab stuff back from their graveyard as they would outpace anything that couldn't. We have seen this sprinkled throughout the game, but it seems that after DUEA, it became the standard and limited the characteristics of what actually makes a deck good now.
@@AmusedDragonflies-it8nu yeah, Duelist alliance definitely switched the game up, but even so, the game still resembled the yugioh we knew from the beginning till sept 2015 banlist. Even though BA, tellar, nekroz, dolls were cancer, so were dragon rulers and spellbooks, etc, but what makes the difference is that the decks resembled the yugioh we always knew, we still played classic traps, we still played BLS, we still played the classic xyz and synchros, spells. After sept 2015, decks that came out from that point on powercrept everything, playing traps was no longer optimal, unless you played pepe which could search solemn traps with ariadne. And decks would be build with just 3x all archetype specific cards and handtraps, and that would continue to this day.
When duty calls, Chaos always shows up
Chaos continues to be the deck of kings!
some of the best duels you can see, old school yugioh hits different
Tengu Plants Vs Chaos Yata is like the El Classico of Yugioh. Their games are hella entertaining!
Your opponent uses mst on call of the haunted.
"Oh no if only I had an imperial order set"
Now that is some peak Yugioh gameplay.

CROOOOOSSSS BANLIST CUPPPP CHAAAAOS YEEEAAAAAAHHH!!!!
Yata being OP again, never fails to crack me up.
I remember pulling Yata at my locals when I was like 11, and everyone around me was telling me how strong the card was and how lucky, but at the time it just looked like a dumb bird with 200 attack.

Siempre Chaos dando tremendas batallas, así pierda o gane, no importa quién.
sooo goooooood
miss these eras
That Yata Lock was beautiful
My boy chaos
I wonder if we ever see a match in the bottom part with that much back & forth interaction like that one
CHAOS BEST DECK ❤🔥
There was one game where it wasn't clear who the winner will be from the start, and I didn't see a lot of interaction either. A lot of setting and passing
Chaos another beloved
I want to be mad that chaos just sacked power spell, but that's the entire gimmick of their deck😂
what a fun duel. Nowadays only time when you pass without winning is when you brick
Its almost time for the top 16. This year is flying by
just amazing 😢
Damn, V-Tsuku lock already out 🥺
Honestly, probably for the better, BUT my biasnis kicking in.like damn
It was never gonna be consistent enough to win, but it was damn cool to see get represented
@@AmusedDragonflies-it8nu Yeh, i got verh happy to see it reo at least

First time I seen a duel 3 and either result clinched the playoffs.
chaos and that one old hero deck for life
Woohoo! Chaos FTW! 🎉

To put into perspective, if Spyral was at full power right now, it still wouldn't do anything
@@sejotejerina3732 aight, fine, then it really just shows how power creep has been getting crazier

Hell yeah Chaos!
In g3 should use imperial against mst. Nice duels btw
I miss this version of yugioh.

tengu seems to slow to prevent chaos from drawing the crazy cards

Someone needs to put the spoiler❤
ouugghhh tha'ts yugioh babey
... What can I say? Both are passing to the top 16 and showed being around the same powerlevel. Mind master OTK and V-Dragon will be a pointless duel.
Build-a-deck vs Build-a-deck: the best in both of their eras! I wish they had more decks like these in modern Yugioh. Basically a bunch of cards that are not part of the same archetype but synergize well together. Nowadays its runick variants and dragon link.
Was the opponent actually right to surrender to Yata-Garasu? Lithium should have decked out one turn before he could attack for game with the bird.
He could have at least waited for lithiums turn bc if he got lucky yata could have been discarded by the card that draws during oponent turn
It was a 1in 5 or 20% chance to happen

Uh… except the fact that nobody is topping with Tengu in its modern iteration. Most people are playing T.G. Stun, Agents and Fabled Chaos.
You couldn’t be more wrong.
U shouldve deleted this post and nobody wouldve known bro
Yugioh died after GX
