The reason things were at 2 is because it is a backrow/stun deck so you want every card in the opening hand to be usable as you probably aren't searching for more. A combo deck wants consistency in their opening hand. A stun/backrow deck wants variety in their opening hand.
Dawg I got to master 5 so quick making my own stun. It’s so fun. I even threw one Yata Garasu for the moon mirror lock when they have nothing to loop. NASTY WORK. ALSO put wall of revealing light and pay 5K LP they can’t do shit
I actually saw one of those classic Stun builds earlier today. As someone who regularly plays Spell/Trap heavy decks I tend to find those kinds of setups more entertaining to deal with than annoying. It also helps that I started messing around with Eldlich a little again, using both the Sinful Spoils package to dump the goons and spare Eldlixers with Diabellstar, and a certain other witch that likes to set up Forbidden Lance/Droplet and Light Barrier Statue shortly afterwards. And won an intense battle with a Trap Lab deck a day ago with that dumb setup.
Also want to add that Jowgen is my favorite floodgate of all time and the fact that it doubles as a board breaker is always hilarious. Fossil Dyna can also do something similar but as a Flip effect so it's not the best at it.
Yeah I went 2nd against Snake-Eyes Fire King with all of the Yubel support(Phantom of Yubel included) and I creamed Snake-Eyes Fire King. The deck can have 15 hand traps plus Super Polymerization in a 40 card deck and Grave Squirmer allows to make Valdrath. The deck can already make a reliable double negation board and it can snowball into a bunch of powerful interruptions. There is boards you can make where Samsara D Lotus can be a 3rd effect negation. However 9 times out of 10 its Phantom of Yubels fusion material.
Missed Set Rotation, missed Book of the Law (which right after, he asks for cards he knows), don't know how he didn't notice Seraphinite until the last zoom... The score might not indicate he's completely Washed, but...
I don't mind Runicks to much. I just feel like they need to limit Fountain because its fun for a lot of different reasons. But the high-roll into outs is to much with 2 Fountains and if we could just banish it with Cosmic Cyclone once and potentially be done with it it would be more fair. I hate cards like Jowgen and Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo because it promotes a form of play that punishes people who uses the extra deck by drawing the game out until they lose instead of being a deck that forces them to play on a equal battlefield and if you still win through it your opponent is so salty that they'll say things like they wish we would die and what not. But when they are allowed to uses monster based floodgates and cards like There Can Only Be One and Skill Drain your forced to have a out to spell/traps in the main deck and then when we're expected to run more than 3 copies of cards like Cosmic Cyclone and can't because then we lose to real decks like Fire King or Labrynth it either takes us to long to win, we scoop because we don't want to play against it, or we lose to cards like Moon Mirror Shield because we can't find our outs fast enough. Also with cards like Fossil Dyna you can't counter them with cards like Kaiju's. None of the modern options we have for decks like Fire Kings or Labrynth are prepared for some of the older floodgates don't work and its a real problem that cards like these aren't banned. Cards like Winda at least allows you to do something and cards like Skill Drain have to be addressed with spells/traps that we can't have enough of if any and it punishes players who Uses the extra deck more than players who players who play stun because they want Yugioh to be like the Synchro Era or back in Goat format when decks weren't that fast and the game was less complicated. All for a group of people who doesn't want the game to keep on growing and changing and to stagnate and die because they don't want the bar to be raised. The game changed for a people who did not want to play a game as simple and boring as UNO and Some of these other games like Pokémon that isn't complex enough to require hardly any brain power past deck building fit that exact same bill. People me feel that we need to almost constantly challenge ourselves and if we aren't constantly challenged by the games we play we won't want to play them because we are bored by them. My biggest thing is that on a lot of free Yugioh sites they'll follow the ban list and only allow people to play banned cards in custom game modes meaning that by banning cards like Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo and Skill Drain I would never have a Yugioh match where I would have to play through them or lose. Additionally I face cards like Fire Prison to often in ranked matches on Dueling Nexus and it goes back to the I had only 3 spell/trap removal in my deck because I wanted to beat everything else and not floodgates IO. The only way I can see cards like Skill Drain being fair enough for people like me to want it to be allowed is if we were in a format were we could search for a in-engine spell card that can act as spell/trap removal or if we can run 10 spell/trap removal and still be just as effective in playing against all of the other decks in the game.

2:32:50 The beginning of Josh enjoying stun KEKW
2:34:30 To combat the stun, we call upon josh’s greatest enemy, the math!
We could have seen this coming, he did in fact profess his love for runicks
“OMG yes I love stun I would die for stun”
Next ycs winning deck by Josh:
Just straight up, back to basics, Runick STUN
"Joshua Schmidt is a stunner" more like it
1:53:09 I'm impressed that you can read that, and I'm impressed that Slim uploaded this profile in 4k so you *can* read it.
SIGMA SCHMIDT

That man was building Noah's ark with all those two-ofs
Chadification of joshua schmidt
Johnny is one of the nicest guys ever met him. Very great player, informative and very nice
The Jet Synchron basically lets you win more often if you're bad, or if face decks that aren't very played.
for once the mathmech player is the hero and not the villain.

josh finally truly embrace the true essence of a runick player. so proud of him

Azn had the most interesting deck profile in the whole ycs
Something is awakening inside Josh as he was playing stun. It will not be good for our world
From Runik to Stun, i mean, what changes?
Runick Combo pls
My favorite thing about Yu-Gi-Oh is not playing it. Based Josh
The dream
Facts
Cope, slower games are good, stun is necessary to stop combo spam. Other wise konami needs to do set rotation
I played against this exact deck like 3 times yesterday in MD. Josh, what have you done?!
Josh playing the best deck I see
That thumbnail cracks me up every time
Winged dragon of rawr got me
Stun Cold Steve Austin
Fossil dyna sky rocketed wtf
Josh has become a stun Andy
I love my going second snake eyes build more than the hand trap version
I never ever thougt i would see Joschua Schmidt playing Stun EVER
That thumbnail sure is something...
Runnick Stun Tier 0 meta approaching
Thumbnail Josh looks like mainmanswee😮
for the record, i did not expect a person from my country playing stun
A vile is always a vile
To be fair, OCG stun (the good ol stun, not runick) already use that Golgonda card for stun.
Stun chad keeps on winning
GODAMN
Lol the decisive battle of gol gonda is on some duel logs shit
Aznpersuasion the OG Rouge Legend!!
No Inspector Boarder, no problem
ayo what is that thumbnail mr.editor?!
I'm surprised that Josh did not get why chat cannot understand the points MBT was delivering. After all, Yu-Gi-Oh players cannot read.
2:32:55 KEKW
what’s the card after water barrier statue
I think you can beat snake eye-fire king with runick-stun
Missed Set Rotation, missed Book of the Law (which right after, he asks for cards he knows), don't know how he didn't notice Seraphinite until the last zoom... The score might not indicate he's completely Washed, but...
The first game I tried I opened Shifter and then wondered why my Punishment didn't out my opponent's normal summon. My Dyna died and then I died.
Based
Lmao he played like 3 games 😂😭
This deck wins againsr snake eyes easily but cant beat blackwings at all played many duels with this
I am disappointed this isn't Runick stun. Although Runick Stun could be unplayable in Master Duel.
2:19:00 bro fucked up the ftk uninterrupted 😭😭😭
"Never playing Stoorming Mirror Force i 2024"
Well no, i played in OTS Championship and got Top 8 with it 😅
2424 is not worth living in
I personally always think anti meta stun is only acceptable in a tier zero format. We are in one so 🤷
The stun list is not original, golgonda has already been played this format

Never meet your heroes 😔
man
mirror force is so bad you should cut it for more floodgates or going second cards
Ich denke das letzte puzzel Stück für ein traumhaftes Spiel ist eine Limitierung von Hand traps wie wäre ein Limit von 9?
Play stun 2
Jesse needs to get into better shape. His face is showing the results
day 10 thousand of losing to stun. It was awful and I feel stupid.
Play the 🤡 music 🎶 🎶 🎶
