@@daviddarmoni7298 At the same time it kinda takes away the excitement of the redoer ticket. It's much more exciting to see the risk vs reward at play than it simply being an 'oh you get to have a 2nd set of pulls "free" of charge'.
@@QPoily There is 0 excitement if they aren't used. If they are too risky to use, then change them to make them less risky (maybe you open 3 less packs or something), or get rid of them and do something else
Noticed that during the clownblade episode of history too, I think he's biased towards putting trick clown in rotation first because it's a better card historically that saw success in more decks. But in this deck you need to try to set up the clownblade combo as fast as possible, thousand blades is harder to search so want to get it first, and one in grave is much harder for your opponent to get rid of compared to a 0/0 trick clown on field that just requires two attacks.
Cimooo: "I am not happy with my pulls. I want that, that and that." Also Cimooo: "This set is not worth rerolling." ... If you want other stuff from a set, then reroll that set. Always sad to see someone, that ends a game with 99 Health Potions.
A note for the editor: The Patron name scroll is getting obscured by the TH-cam links at the end of the video. You may need to reposition some elements!
It'll be interesting to see who nuts harder, MBT or Farfa. Y'all are all gonna say Farfa. I think you forget how hard MBT NUTS over decks not chaos, or stun.
Normally I'd be mad at Cimo for not rerolling this set, but I'm actually glad he didn't toss out his 2 Anjelly. Madolche might just be on the table soon?
@@TheRedGauntlet IWishIWasDead, the only guy really paying attention to their accumulative pulls, said that Cimo had a decent Madolche lineup, 2 Anjelly makes it much better
Cimoooo really saving up that reroll luck for Season 3 huh. Please my guy, just high roll some stuff if you said you didn’t get anything and that just maybe you could get something, it’s worth the high roll!!!!
Cimo 100% should have rerolled. I opened 12 packs in anticipation for this episode just to see how the pulls could look like and pulled crack (construct, winda, el shaddoll fusion, grysta, disk, delteros). Gage re rolled and pulled great. This set could have been so impactful so it’s disappointing he kept what was pretty mediocre pulls.
Alex's Soul Charge move in Game 1 was the equivalent of having a baseball bat shoved inside of you. And Gage's move immediately afterwards was the same equivalent, but sideways.
@@Tuturial464 very true, i think thats where the analyzation comes in, is BLS enough of a game changer worth cutting off your Cir Dante loop/ card advantage. I think it might be a bomb enough to justify that, but still be on the fence bc it is so easily disruptable w almost any trap. High risk high reward for sure
Forbidden scripture might be okay if it said that cards and effects could not be activated in response to it. Otherwise, it’s just slower “make your monster Ancient Gear.” And that’s a big maybe too, since battle traps aren’t nearly as popular anymore.
1:40 Gage's Winner Wheel 5:00 Perfectly cut 13:40 Let's do the time warp again 18:12 Gage's Deck: Burning Abyss 19:48 Cimoooo Deck: Clownblade Rank 4 Turno (3rd time trying to spitefully use Gage's strategies Against him) 23:00 Game 1 36:29 Your clip out of context. 38:50 Muzurythm the String Djinn's finest hour (and how are Breakthrough Skill & both Graff / Barbar, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss involved?) 41:05 Game 2 52:34 Are we getting Game 3 or not? 55:45 Cimooo is banning Dante next week, isn't he?
Next season additions definitely needed: "Box of last set" on the wheel "Any Archetype specific card" on wheel Ban or Unban after 3 losses Decks require 3 cards minimum from opened set of the episode
I think every time you get back to 2015 DUEA era it just solidifies it as my favorite format. Just... so much good stuff. Clownblade, Chaos Lightsworn, BA, Tellar, Shaddoll, PePe, HAT. I wish that DUEA format was a regularly practiced format because honestly i'd never quit it. Screw advanced, MD, Edison, I want to play DUEA formats until I die.
Enjoyable as always! There may have been *two* ways for Alex to avoid lethal in G1. Put the Dweller in Defense.... or put Jigabyte under the Dweller as its second material. Since it's a water, Dweller would have boosted itself, Ragna, AND 101 by 500ATK. The 900 Barbar burn + 700 from attacking over Dweller is only 1600, not enough to lethal. And Breakthrough Skill needs to be used pre-damage step, so the ATK boost can't be negated as long as Alex holds the Dweller effect until Gage BTS's like they're playing chicken lol. Putting it in Defense was likely better, but it's good to know for future games. Also: Archfiend Eater's GY effect would have come up game 2! There were a few spots where Alex had the dead King of Feral Imps on board during Gage's EP. Had he held the Mathematician, he could have played Protect the King, pop it in EP for the Archfiend, then normal'd Math to send Trick and make a Rank 4 like another King, and go from there. Food for thought as someone who's played a lot with the lvl 4 familiars in Crusadia and other decks over the years!
So is prog season 3 gonna be starter + structure decks plus tins being thrown in as well in more of a "history of yugioh" style prog season where we get every single product ever made therefore every single deck ever considered good?
Actually wild. Cimo talks about how crazy Duelist Alliance is but won’t respin his best chance to pull great cards He’s definitely just waiting until Master Rule 5 to get all the busted shit and blow Gage out all at the end
If I had a nickel for Every time Gage does a awesome game winning play with BTS (Breakthrough Skill). I would have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it funny that it happened twice.
The extra redoer ticket in the wheel was fine, but now that they get 3 redoer tickets every "season", maybe they could change that option to something like a duplicate of a card they already have.
@@eugenideddis Not that that matters in this case. Detaching IS sending to the graveyard. It was sent to the graveyard which is all it stipulates and is eligible for activation under these circumstances. A Shaddoll card like Wendi or Hedgehog indeed wouldn't be able to activate from being detached by this XYZ and a card like Sangan wouldn't at all since those stipulate they must be on the field which material isn't counted as being but neither is the kind of card in question here.
@@RunicSigils| IIRC the cards that broke that ruling were Sangan and Witch of the Black Forest ... eventually, Konami had to rule that the detach doesn't treat them as cards for GY effect purposes, or something like that.
I think in prog series 3 there should be a point where more packs are pulled, with archetypes introduced most are very high rarity and 24 packs is simple not enough to have a cohesive playable strategy
I know it wouldn’t happen, but during game 1 it would’ve been astounding if Cimo dropped Number 69, negated both of Gage’s dudes, milled 3, then clobbered him. Oh well.
banning construct was a mistake, either way this set is where you use redoer tickets to pull a good doll core or a good BA core, which im guessing neither cimo or gage do
Banning Construct was the right move for Gage because Gage didn't have Construct but DID have Fusion. Construct is one of the best but it's not the only Fusion so it wouldn't make sense to cut himself off from using it. Especially considering it mixes well with other Fusion archetypes that were shortly to release so missing Construct becomes less important to both of them.
Honestly, I think because the redoer tickets are an "all or nothing" item, Cimo or Gage never wants to chance on. I think if they were able to spend the ticket, see the pulls, and then choose between the 1st pull or the new pull, they'd be more prone to using them
How is cimooo so good at gaslighting himself into not using a redoer ticket 😭

cimo when he sees one of the best mega packs ever made: "hmm nah i'm locking it in 🤓☝"
We always talk about Alex's protagonist powers, but that Game 1 play with the Djinn was a bona fide anime moment.
I thought he was gonna drop bls
Gage is really good at seeing the lines.
The "Oh no, I put the Downerds in attack position!" being followed next turn by "Aha, he put the Abyss Dweller in attack position!" was wonderful.
Reminder for Cimo: you can always send thousand blades with math as it also summons from battle damage.
Noticed that during the clownblade episode of history too, I think he's biased towards putting trick clown in rotation first because it's a better card historically that saw success in more decks.

52:06 TEN YEARS BABY! ITS NEVER GOING TO STOP!
NEVER STOP COPING
Say the line Gage
WE NEVER LEAVE
That first game is definitely one for the Prog Hall of Fame.
Note to Gage: you need to reveal the BA monster you are trying to special as it does start a chain.
Cimooo: "I am not happy with my pulls. I want that, that and that."
Also Cimooo: "This set is not worth rerolling."
... If you want other stuff from a set, then reroll that set. Always sad to see someone, that ends a game with 99 Health Potions.
For reals. Its like the opposite of the family guy box meme
cimo's hoarder mentality bites him again
Exactly one hour? That's more impressive than Cimooo playing using a redoer ticket!
A note for the editor: The Patron name scroll is getting obscured by the TH-cam links at the end of the video. You may need to reposition some elements!
36:26 "You've done well Cimoooo, remember: Hesitation is defeat".
What a banger of a first game!! Sick stuff
15:38 Omfg Gage that is definitely getting clipped.
That and 36:29 lmao
Cimoooo: the only thing going to be coming after this is me
Me:... and mbt...
And gage actually, had him dead to rights but got cooked instead
That game 1 is just the equivalent to Breakthrough Skill + Burial 😂😂
conclusion: breakthrough is the most based crd that always leads to GOAT plays
Gage better kiss Dante goodbye, because I’m pretty sure that’s getting banned next week. That or Cimo spite bans Breakthrough Skill.
36:29 MBT is gonna SHIT
He sure isn’t gonna come
I just hope MBT remembers that Gage is Yakub
MBT is gonna fail his edging streak
Honestly, the last two turns of that game will have him hitting chat with the xQc reaction stream because he will be glued to the toilet.
He's ruined everyone!
36:29 Here you go Joseph, figure you'll want this timestamp ❤
gage playing burning abyss is the highlight of this series for me. BA is sick im so happy he re-spun the wheel for it.
Gage: Thers Dante where did he travel from Timbuktu?
Dante Alighieri: vengo dall'Italia, Gage!
As soon as I saw Cimo not redoer this set I knew he was gonna get rolled
It'll be interesting to see who nuts harder, MBT or Farfa.
Y'all are all gonna say Farfa. I think you forget how hard MBT NUTS over decks not chaos, or stun.
seeing BLS with both 0 lights main deck and 0 darks main deck is the pure progression experience
You do know the BAs are all Dark right
Probably meant for cimoooooooo deck @defectivesickle5643
@@Kiwyko but...cimo's deck does have plenty of lights main deck, so that doesn't make sense either
cimo had 0 darks main deck. gages deck had 0 lights main deck. did i watch a different deck break down?
@@MiyaoMeow588 they meant gage has no lights and cimo has no darks (he has 1 juregedo but still)
Who wouldve predicted out of all the cards, that card would be the one to win the game. Amazing.
King of the Feral Imps might as well read "Detach a material from this card; your opponent must send an Effect Veiler from their hand to the GY"
*IT'S ALMOST LIKE CIMO DOESN'T KNOW "DEFENSE MODE" EXISTS*
Farfa is going to be so proud 🥲🥲🥲🥲
He’s gonna be disappointed cause gage is using my favorite deck
He’s gonna scream “DEF the DANTE”
He’s still sulking when Doug used it against him

Gage even said the sacred line
Simo getting tilted in game one after so charging for four was amazing
1hr exactly. Shoutout to progression's editor. Cimo said their name before, i just forgot it
Normally I'd be mad at Cimo for not rerolling this set, but I'm actually glad he didn't toss out his 2 Anjelly. Madolche might just be on the table soon?

Next season additions definitely needed:
"Box of last set" on the wheel
"Any Archetype specific card" on wheel
Ban or Unban after 3 losses

Damn that game 1 was one of the best plays ever in Prog! I love you Gage!!! LET'S FUCKING GO
I had to make sure I wasn’t watching Joseph when Alex used soul charge🤣🤣
You should each get the promos that come in the tins! I want some Norden plays!
That Game 1 was crazy.
I woke up my neighbor’s dogs from hooting and hollering at this episode, great stuff!
An hour long? This'll be a banger!
I was like „there’s no way he can beat this, he’s cooked!“, but then mind blown!🤯
Sickest game 1 in a while
Game 1: Banish breakthrough skill isn't quick effect, it's illegal move
"it was just not good enough" he says, when he misplayed with Lance like THREE TIMES
What are we missing from madolche didn't cimo pull 2 hotcakes as well ?
So is prog season 3 gonna be starter + structure decks plus tins being thrown in as well in more of a "history of yugioh" style prog season where we get every single product ever made therefore every single deck ever considered good?
Game 1 ending will be an end-of-series highlight. Gageh!!!

I knew gage would forget scarm at least once :) 49:49
I think the redoer ticket should have other utility such as being able to respin the wheel which will actually give some value to the ticket.
That way to get lethal g1 was so clean
