Bandit Keith's new skill: Reverse destiny draw - During your opponent's draw phase instead of the opponent conducting their normal draw, look at your opponent's deck and put a card from their deck on top of it. You can only use this skill once per duel.
That would be worse than destiny draw ,to know every card opponent has and also mess with his draw. I think that would cause alot of rage because is very unfair. Fortunately something like that will never happen(at least i hope so)
I used to play 42 cards in my deck because Im weird and this happened to me. the judge then asked him how he knew I only had 39 cards and then I checked my deck and noticed a card was missing. I then saw the color drain from my opponents face as he tried to clean up his cards and run away. he tried to get away with an ash blossom and luckily I knew it immediately and had a friend to back me up and we got the ash back and he got banned lmao
Good eye, more players should be aware and proactive like this. Don't be afraid to call someone out, if your wrong , don't be embarrassed. Nobody is gonna be offended if you check their stuff for your missing card, or ask them about it, or ask a judge. Any decent player will actually gather a crew and help you hunt it down.
For anyone who didnt see it - at 5:45, the bottom comment on the screen shows the outcome of all this - player disqualified from all future events. Dkayed missed it bc he minimized the reply thread.
To avoid this kind of stacking you can cut your own deck after the opponent randomized it, then offer it for a "FINAL CUT". No further shuffling, just a cut. Provided they don't pick up the exact same amount of cards you did, they will fail to stack you again.
According to tournament policy, your opponent shouldn't even touch your deck if possible. They are supposed to "instruct you to randomize your Deck, as well as cut it if necessary as they wish. This reduces the contact your opponent has with any of your belongings.". Didn't know what. Thought it was required to hand your deck to your opponent
Yeah, only cutting. When I played IRL when a guy started trying to pick up my deck from the table I would actually warn him loudly "Only cutting", some guys got soo pissed that he started trying to rule shark me.
The story of people dropping cards into their laps is a real thing. I know someone who usually runs 41 cards for this exact reason. "Judge he has 39 cards that's illegal" *Judge counts then says nope theres 40 cards* My buddy "now check his lap/the floor around him because I run 41 cards"
@@TheOfficialRandomGuy Well, registering doesn't mean you're playing all the cards after, cause judges aren't there counting cards in your deck before every game. I don't doubt some people actually take some cards out after registering, before playing the first games
I run 50 Card Deck and I make a video of all of my deck and possible trades as I walk into the location, stating time, place and cards. So that if anything happens, o can show what cards I own and with what I went in, in case they try to steal.
I really hate people stealing cards. A kid at my school stole my prismatic Gengar, and I'll never forget about it. It was impossible to get it back, because you have no proof, it's word against word, they hid it away so even if their deck gets checked it isn't there. Sucks
In fifth grade, someone tried to steal my Zapdos. Literally tried ripping it from my hand when I offered to show it to him, but I held on. It left a bad fold on the card. And on that day, some of my innocence was lost...
Just dont let kids take your stuff, fight over it. If some kid tried to snatch a card of mine back in the day then i wouldve kicked his ass every day till i got expelled or the school made him give me my stuff back. And If it was actually stolen behind your back then you werent responsible enough to be taking that sort of stuff to school and it shouldve been a good lesson about leaving your valuables at home.
my fossil dragonite got stolen as a kid by MY FRIEND. thankfully my mom got it back, but he also tried to steal my Chansey several weeks later. he had a secret compartment in his carrying case. you think you know people...
In 5th grade, someone literally stole my entire deck while I wasn't looking and after I told them it was gone they told the teacher about it, who then got the whole class to start looking. Eventually, that thief's sister catches him with my cards hidden away in his pockets and I got them back. Thank goodness, except for the fact one of my pilgrim reapers got 2 tears and bends, I still have it to this day
@@tmoney1487 Exactly. Some dude stole my Harpie's Feather Duster, which was priceless to me as a kid, and I followed him non-stop and never stop bugging him until he gave it back, because I literally saw him steal it.
I really hate this. I've wanted to try in person, but the prospect of stackers, judge sharks, slow players and other shenanigans has always been super off putting.
I’ve seen a video of someone in master duel, 17 card deck. Playing 3 pot of greed, three Graceful Charity and a few other cards along with the exodia pieces. Needless to say drawing 12 cards isn’t that difficult in that cheater’s deck.
Most people don’t cheat but if you are suspicious just brush up on your rules and always cut and shuffle thoroughly. IRL yugioh is fun and the people you meet can be really great.
@@nicholasfleischhauer191 I doubt something like that is very common, but the fact of the matter is I'm someone who gets distracted easily. People are going to be touching each-others cards all day, and it's just likely to happen to me at least.
There’s another clip of him “searching for a card in his deck while his opponent is searching, then he swapped a card from his hand with a better card from deck right when his opponent was distracted with shuffling, then he also added the card he was supposed to search
Protagonist. check Has a millennium item that manipulates luck for him. check Is in a series where they have to write things to make them more exciting. check And it’s not real. Check.
To be fair, in the manga things are different. In the anime in the last episode, it was shoehorned-in last minute the BS handwave to explain how he pulled the card he needed. The anime added a whole metric ton of cards to his deck that never existed in the comic, because konami was trying to sell trading cards, which resulted in his deck appearing to be a 300-card pile of crap that didn't have a single strategy. In the comic, Yugi's deck DID actually have a control-based strategy. Largely focused on spellcasters, fiends, and warriors, his duels were much more consistent and thought out, and he often won through knowledge of the rules, forethought, and clever plays. In other words, Manga Yugi didn't need the plot armor: "The Superpower!" because he had a solid deck recipe and strategy. So the whole "destiny draw" BS was never mentioned in the comic, never shown in the comic, and no-one, especially ishizu, never even theorized on it in the comic, because it never existed. Dark Yugi was only there to protect him from physical and mental dangers, that’s it. He’s a savvy gamer for sure, but he learned DM with Yugi. The anime makes little Yugi look like extra baggage. In the manga the story really makes you believe they’re one in the same.
@@tr3y674 not really. What turns people away is them NOT knowing to look out for these rare occurrences, and having a bad experience because they weren't street wise enough to notice they have been hustled until its too late
@@tr3y674 pretty sure a person getting cheated on and losing his deck then disqualifying from a tournament with missing cards will turn more people away than videos of cheaters lmao
@@tr3y674 This makes literally no sense. Games drastically drop in player count or even DIE when cheaters are able to thrive. Look at Warzone or Titanfall 2. When care and support is shown to the game (ex: catching and exposing cheaters appropriately) then it shows that people actually enjoy a fair match.
Damn, I don't know what's worse a cheater in a nutshell or your cards getting stolen. I'll tell you, this one time my friend's dark magician deck was stolen. The sad part is losing a first edition dark magician girl that he was gonna give me as a gift. Also I don't compete but when I played with friends back then, my two decks got stolen and later realized one of the dudes was actually cheating. So a lesson I learned always cut your opponent's deck. I guess this is why I have trust issues. :c
yeah it got to the point where i didn't even want to go to the locals anymore due to the rampant stealing going on, and people kept gass lighting me to thinking i lost it, like how the fuck would i constantly only lose one most rare card in my deck coincidentally while playing and only that specific card every single time?
Stealing is only going to happen if you don't responsibly keep an eye on your stuff. To avoid theft, if your playing an event, DON'T take a binder. Take a stack of your trades , place them in a deck box, let someone sort through them like that, above the table at all times. Worked for me for nearly 10 years, never once got hustled. Realistically it's wise to not even take any trades to events to prevent theft.
always get them to cut the deck last that's the rule i used in mtg. but i agree i don't play physical, plus the online one is just better at keeping track.
I know there will always be toxic players but after watching this I'm glad I never got into real TCG, whether it be Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, Magic, etc. To put so much time and money into building a deck and learning how to play the game only for someone to steal 1 of your cards when you're not looking and then get you labelled a cheater for not having enough cards in your deck would just shatter me beyond repair.
@@Kurial94 lol you kidding me? people steal cards all the fucking time, one of the reasons i quit playing the tcg was because my cards kept getting stolen
I've NEVER seen anyone steal like your describing before in person and i played super competitive yugioh for nearly a decade. People steal decks and binders, usually at big events. At locals just keep your stuff by you at all times and it'll be fine 100%. Playing in person is the best experience you can have with card gaming, I have made lifelong rivals and friends from in person playing, I honestly HATE all of these new video games because less people go to shops. Shops are very hard to maintain now because of stuff like this, so in person play is slowly dying I think. It has completely died where I live, in Alabama. I have to travel about an hour or more if I want in person play sadly. Best times of my life were when we had a local shop, don't rob yourself of a good opportunity and a great experience my friend
If all yugioh player knew how to undercut, or stack the deck by sleight of hand on every possible shuffle moment, ow boi, just a pointless game to play
Btw if you don’t want this cheat to happen to you always ask your opponent to cut your deck or offer to cut his deck after he’s done shuffling. If they declined you might be getting cheated just call a judge and explain what’s happening.
Wow! This is why playing online would always be my preferred way to play and why a lot of people would always complain about the online emulators not being fair as they can’t bend the game their way there. 😂
But playing in person you interact more. You can bluff and mind game your opponent. The game is SO much better, and deeper on paper and in person. All of the best parts are taken from the game over a video game dude, like making friends and rivals, trading, learning new tech and asking for advice, many things make the game more fun in person I promise
@@raijuko I still play paper now with a small group of friends and the people at my locals and it’s fun because of all the other interactions you mentioned. And I would recommend if you have a group of friends you could play with, play with them and experience paper that way it would be fun. But the moment my locals have a special tournament with better prices or just a more competitive event where more people will attend, like a qualifier, then that’s were you would most likely get cheated and it’s not fun. I guess you could say it’s a part of the game and you have to get prepared for it just how you prepare for everything else but it sucks when you know or find out you got robbed of a win because you got cheated. That’s just my humble opinion.
lol cheaters never win if their opponent actually bothers to stop them, but most players just assume cheating is very rare and just let themselves get cheated like crazy.
imao talk about good cheater who just shuffle with the texture of the card and can reconize card with touch; like set all your secret in the bottom of the deck, sr/ur in the bottom and common in the up of the deck.
Well there's reason why top players are typically the same person, in a digital format where everything is randomized fairly, the chance of someone winning two tournament in row is rather slim. I kinda did the same thing but got out sleighted in pokemon tcg, the dude using cynthia (shuffle all cards on hand draw 6), when he gave me the deck to shuffle, I see the card I don't want him to draw because it would turn the game around, so I did the oldest trick in history of card game, hindu shuffling it all the way to the top so when he cut it the card would be burrowed in the middle or bottom, but to my surprise he managed to skillfully leave that card on the top side so he can draw it. Definitely cannot call judge because I'm guilty as well, but that should tell you to be a top player of card game in real life, you gotta learn a lot of magic tricks.
I remember once at a ycs a guy put a card from his grave on top of his deck and the opponent noticed and called the judge and said i know the card he is going to draw and that moment a tear run down the face of the cheater xD
I've had this done to me multiple times IRL, and I could not prove it. It's one of the reasons I stopped playing, because multiple players were good at it, and were always topping the tournaments. People knew they were cheats (and thieves, that's another topic) but the lack of proof meant they always got away with it. I would get a judge to shuffle when I could, but it wasn't possible to have a judge shuffle every single time. Also never use white sleeves. Everyone uses white sleeves. Use a different colour from your opponent, re-sleeve if you have the time.
I've actually been in a similar situation as a judge in a magic tournament. It was a tournament with a lot of old school cards, and players would count their decks after every shuffle. We had a player get a permanent ban from magic, and because of the value of the card he slipped from his opponent's deck, a felony conviction for grand theft of an item worth more than 1000 dollars.
When i look at how he pick up his opponent's deck, you can see he flips the deck around and the bottom of the card is visible for a short time from there i know that this guy is going to do some shuffle shenanigans
This is more like the opposite. If the player is playing fast but announcing their effects properly, with their main deck and their hand visibly in a distance (for example many players prefer to have near them the GY and on the top Right/Left of their mat their main deck), it's more likely they are very well experienced with the deck. When you see "thinking hard", not making a move for up to 3 minutes and then slowly making moves get ready not only for "time rules" but most probably for a "rule shark". And these are even harder that plain cheaters to deal with. About card stacking and shifting cards, you can force the opponent to shuffle/search their deck in a different location AND NOT ABOVE their face-down hand, as well as cut everything and force them to just "final cut" your deck. If you see they "shuffle" your deck "sideways" while looking at it, you can call a judge because they would try to find out which cards you play.
yea like i play fast but only cuz i know how to play my deck but if my opponent wants me to slow down i will but just cuz someone plays fast doesn't mean they are cheating but like bab said they are just experienced with the deck and the game and this goes for basically any card game too not just yugioh
@@zombiegod34 Doesn't matter what you think or feel. Playing fast is the main technique they use to cheat. Imma call you out and everyone else should do the same.
@@doublestarships646 doesn't matter what you think or feel. playing fast doesn't mean that they're cheating, Yu-Gi-Oh tcg is very combo deck heavy so you have to play fast if you don't want to enter time or you just know your deck really well, it's when they shift speeds when they're most likely cheating
I’ve started yugioh at age 6 when it first came out and my older brother would always tell me to cut his deck and never vs a person in tournament unless they let you cut their deck.
Question. If lots of cheating is done in the way the desk is shuffled, whey not come up with a shuffling machine that both players can use? so that the shuffling will be done by an autonomous machine that is not under any influences?
“I’m Seto Kaiba, this allows me to take a high power monster from your deck and add it to my hand, I have a feeling you know which monster I have my eye on”
I used to magic tricks with cards and shit, this is literally someone with zero experience stacking a deck. The fact he did this in a tournament live match is just incredible to me 😂
Imagine facing someone with actually good slight of hand and card controll, i mean theres an entire technique called false shuffle. Don't let your wizard or cardistry friend play Yu-Gi-Oh with you!
It wasnt till videos like this that people freaking out on me makes sense. I always waited for the shuffle before continuing play and people would often call a judge to say I was slow playing.
i played like 4 regionals ever. I would stock up on sleeves of the same color and id have to resleeve key cards in my deck every other round. Wasn't ever an issue at my locals as when theres only like 20 people. you can sniff out whos sleeve marking pretty fast.
I could not compete in yugioh, dude if someone stole my card out my deck and accused me of cheating, best believe I’d have the glock pressed against his back and demand he gives me my card back and forfeits the match
That's why you never let your opponent shuffle your deck. And when you cut you opponents deck. Do a triple cut. Drop the first 4 or 5 card from the bottom of the deck then put those cards on top. So if they cheated. Now they will have all those garnets in their hand.
I'm always curious, are local duelists know all the cards effects? Because I always play yugioh on my PC and always take a moment to read every single card they use
Most locals often used a same deck or popular/meta cards, so it's your duty to at least know the basic knowledge about your opp's deck/cards.. and in a case where you are a new player or you're up against an unfamiliar deck, you can say something like "hey, i'm kinda new to this game/format. Please walk me your plays/deck" or "hey, what deck is that? What does it do?.. At least in my locals, they always explain the basic thing of what their cards do while doing their plays without being asked to like "this card can search this", "if this card is summoned i can do this", and "these card has these effects".. I think this is the only real benefit of playing in person which is the ease of communication
In locals, it's about the same . If your unfamiliar you can politely ask to hold and read said unfamiliar card, it's stupid not to do that with everything because sometimes you won't remember an additional effect a card may have, which will cause you to misplay and lose later on. Always read everything.
@@raijuko ahh so its basically the same I'm curious because I've watched people doing their combo like a mad lad If i was their opponent, I would feel bad to interrupt their "geekness" lol
I do slight of hand card magic as a hobby. Not pro level or anything, but I do know how these things work. This is not even close to deceptive false shuffling at all. A true professional card magician could stack as many draws as they want AND nullify the cut if they so choose and no one would see anything, maybe not even the camera!
I used to play pokemon tcg back in the day so idk about yugioh rules regarding shuffling. But it used to be a rule where the opponent could only cut the deck, not shuffle. Youre supposed to be the one shuffling and the cut from the opponent is to prevent cheating. Dont know what happened to that, but i think that needs to be a thing again.
I have a few "friends" who were guilty of this on a regular basis and sometimes straight up deny you your cut of their deck after searching. I will tell them straight up, "it is my choice weather your deck goes back with or without a cut, If you deny me my cut, I can assume you are both cheating and breaking the manners of dueling therefore you automatically surrender."
For legal reasons this comment is meant to teach players how to prevent cheating. Glancing at the bottom of the deck during shuffling and then stacking that card on top is a common form of cheating. This player did it in a really crude and obvious way. Beware of players performing a hindu/overhand shuffle that ends with them placing a single card on top of the deck. It may look inconspicuous, but may be an attempt at cheating. Always cut your opponents deck!
Yeah the constant fear of some rando stealing my shit and cheating made me so paranoid, that after I had to rule shark somebody cause they kept their area really messy after I asked them to clean it up so it doesn't mess our match, it became my wake up call to stop playing the game. I just follow the news now and occasionally buy cards. But as for tournament goes, I lost faith in people a long time ago.
I’m a magician and this is a terrible attempt at stacking. I do slight of hand with cards, and there are many better, undetectable ways to accomplish what he just did.
@@alwaystired4506 There are some retention shuffles that look like a legit shuffle, but allow you to keep cards on the top/bottom. What I was trying to get across in my first message is that it’s worth searching for, watching, and learning a few basic false shuffles that magicians/gamblers use so you can spot it when an opponent tries to pull something. We’ve caught it multiple times at locals. Some are easy enough to learn and do in a couple hours without much practice, so I’m sure it’s way more prevalent than people realize.
For everyone , this tournament was played three days ago in Italy,it was a regional, and this guy Codianni GOT caught later that day and banned for ever .
Even if they do not stack your deck, just looking at cards in deck gives them information they should not have. Looking away from deck while shuffling should be enforced to disable nonsense like this.
Make a mandatory rule that after every game players have to count and check their cards. Would solve a lot of cheating and stealing problems. Ppl won't be to scoop and leave
One time there was a dude that had 5 cards in his spell zone and then plays a 6 on the middle of the field to activate it. The other person didn't notice and then I jump in and ask, has the rules changed and you can play 6 cards now?
That is his skill when averytime a card active any effect that will shuffle your deck,you can choose any card and put it to top of your deck after that shuffle effect.
The funny thing is that he can see him doing this as he looks in his own deck. He didn't even do the cut which makes no sense at all. So in truth one guy cheated but the other guy let him cheat lmao.
Here is best advice I can give to anyone to prevent as much cheating as possible. When ever your opponent is touch cards that are not on field or hand is you watch them. If you can’t like searching a card from deck wait until your opponent is done with what they are doing.
Great advice here. When you play locals, people aren't really THAT likely to cheat, but it happens. Regional and up is where it really goes wild. Watch some videos on card sleight of hand, there are magic the gathering channels on TH-cam here that post videos showing typical ways players stack the deck and cheat, it's well worth educating with if you plan to go to an event. Also, they cheat by stalling for time sometimes. If a player is taking forever , every turn, and not actively playing cards that whole time, call a judge. They are likely trying to get your life under theirs, then play something stupid like threatening roar when it comes to your turn count after time is up. A friend of mine had that happen and he lost out of top 8 at a regional, because he didn't want to seem rude when he should have called judge to tell the guy to hurry up. TH-camr MTG Degree has a GREAT video on simple ways people can fake shuffle or stack the deck, check him out for some great info on this kinda stuff, even though he doesn't post anymore the video still exists and it's extremely helpful info for any of you non-experienced players that haven't been in a high competition environment before :) Oh yea, one I forgot, also you may check the sides and tip/ bottom rims of your opponents entire deck too. Sometimes they will use markers to place a black dot on the rims of cards to mark them and cheat. As long as you DONT look at the bottom card of their deck, you may look at the deck when you cut it. Many have been caught using this marking method to cheat in Yugioh tournaments before. Stay smart fellow duelists!
I topped a regional where I didn't play against any of the known cheats in swiss. Most of the known cheats were in the Top 8. I lost in the semi finals to one under strange circumstances, it was 1-1 and I drew well in my game 3 opening hand, then every time I searched my deck I would draw a brick the next turn, and eventually ran out of options and lost to perfect counters to everything I had. I knew what happened, other people knew it. But nobody could prove a thing. That same tournament, the police were called out because a binder full of big money cards went missing. It never did get recovered, the culprit was widely known but yet again, there was no proof. It wasn't the first time it happened either, it was such a shit show. I am fortunate I never had any of my own cards stolen but I was vigilant and made it harder by having obscure sleeves. When everyone is using white sleeves it makes it so much easier for people to steal.
Unless your opponent has found a way to interfere with Master Duel's electronic play system over the Internet (which is launched from within a protected Cloud infrastructure) using hacking tools (in which case it's very easily noticed) its near impossible to pull off a sleight of hand magic trick on an online simulator which is quite well randomized. Any deck has the potential to brick. If you're bricking more often than not, that's a problem with the deck build.
They should do like other games do and permanently ban them from any Konami event forever. The only way of making people afraid of cheating is by placing harsh punishments. (not warnings)
Ban them and take half their decks to be shredded online (an even amount of traps monsters and spells if it still can't be determined take away the whole deck)
It surprises me how in this 20+ years old card game no one had the idea to make a shuffling machine for this sort of events. A lot of problems could've been avoided (not to say it wouldn't create its own tho, but not like this)
I'm an engineer who play this game. I think it would be hard to create such a machine considering too many different kind of sleeves (sizes, texture, thickness, etc.). It maybe possible but the machine will be expensive and big. You'll realistically need one for every duel to not prolong the duration just for shuffling. The budget just for buying and maintaining the machine will be absurdly high
Tcgplayer just recently announced they start developing a card sorting machine with a startup. This will be easier since it will only take care of their cards, which conditions can be controlled by them easily

Eventually, that thief's sister catches him with my cards hidden away in his pockets and I got them back. Thank goodness, except for the fact one of my pilgrim reapers got 2 tears and bends, I still have it to this day
@@tmoney1487 Exactly. Some dude stole my Harpie's Feather Duster, which was priceless to me as a kid, and I followed him non-stop and never stop bugging him until he gave it back, because I literally saw him steal it.
I really hate this. I've wanted to try in person, but the prospect of stackers, judge sharks, slow players and other shenanigans has always been super off putting.
I’ve seen a video of someone in master duel, 17 card deck. Playing 3 pot of greed, three Graceful Charity and a few other cards along with the exodia pieces.
Needless to say drawing 12 cards isn’t that difficult in that cheater’s deck.
Most people don’t cheat but if you are suspicious just brush up on your rules and always cut and shuffle thoroughly. IRL yugioh is fun and the people you meet can be really great.
Cheating is one thing, but I'm more worried about having cards stolen than anything.
@@hermitxIII Oh yeah that thing dkayed said sounds scary. The 39 card sleight
of hand scenario
@@nicholasfleischhauer191 I doubt something like that is very common, but the fact of the matter is I'm someone who gets distracted easily. People are going to be touching each-others cards all day, and it's just likely to happen to me at least.
There’s another clip of him “searching for a card in his deck while his opponent is searching, then he swapped a card from his hand with a better card from deck right when his opponent was distracted with shuffling, then he also added the card he was supposed to search

Lol
The pharo will never do this.
@@TheGuyWhoIsSitting nah bro he's believing in the heart of the cards
To be fair, in the manga things are different.
In the anime in the last episode, it was shoehorned-in last minute the BS handwave to explain how he pulled the card he needed. The anime added a whole metric ton of cards to his deck that never existed in the comic, because konami was trying to sell trading cards, which resulted in his deck appearing to be a 300-card pile of crap that didn't have a single strategy.
In the comic, Yugi's deck DID actually have a control-based strategy. Largely focused on spellcasters, fiends, and warriors, his duels were much more consistent and thought out, and he often won through knowledge of the rules, forethought, and clever plays.
In other words, Manga Yugi didn't need the plot armor: "The Superpower!" because he had a solid deck recipe and strategy.
So the whole "destiny draw" BS was never mentioned in the comic, never shown in the comic, and no-one, especially ishizu, never even theorized on it in the comic, because it never existed. Dark Yugi was only there to protect him from physical and mental dangers, that’s it. He’s a savvy gamer for sure, but he learned DM with Yugi. The anime makes little Yugi look like extra baggage. In the manga the story really makes you believe they’re one in the same.
Please post more videos on cheaters getting caught in TCG! I love seeing this type of content and think it's a cool way to diversify your channel :)
Why? Just creates more diversion in the game. Turns people away from the game as well.
@@tr3y674 not really. What turns people away is them NOT knowing to look out for these rare occurrences, and having a bad experience because they weren't street wise enough to notice they have been hustled until its too late
@@tr3y674 pretty sure a person getting cheated on and losing his deck then disqualifying from a tournament with missing cards will turn more people away than videos of cheaters lmao
@@tr3y674 This makes literally no sense. Games drastically drop in player count or even DIE when cheaters are able to thrive. Look at Warzone or Titanfall 2. When care and support is shown to the game (ex: catching and exposing cheaters appropriately) then it shows that people actually enjoy a fair match.
Damn, I don't know what's worse a cheater in a nutshell or your cards getting stolen. I'll tell you, this one time my friend's dark magician deck was stolen. The sad part is losing a first edition dark magician girl that he was gonna give me as a gift. Also I don't compete but when I played with friends back then, my two decks got stolen and later realized one of the dudes was actually cheating. So a lesson I learned always cut your opponent's deck. I guess this is why I have trust issues. :c
Honestly I rather get cheated than having my deck get stolen. Well, at least the opponent not wanting me to cut his deck.
Homie has permanent destiny draw without the life point requirement holy crap cracked
The real bandit keith :
This is one of many reasons I gave up on the paper game, LONG before the pandemic. The cost, the rampant cheating, the STEALING.
Not worth it
yeah it got to the point where i didn't even want to go to the locals anymore due to the rampant stealing going on, and people kept gass lighting me to thinking i lost it, like how the fuck would i constantly only lose one most rare card in my deck coincidentally while playing and only that specific card every single time?
Stealing is only going to happen if you don't responsibly keep an eye on your stuff. To avoid theft, if your playing an event, DON'T take a binder. Take a stack of your trades , place them in a deck box, let someone sort through them like that, above the table at all times. Worked for me for nearly 10 years, never once got hustled. Realistically it's wise to not even take any trades to events to prevent theft.
always get them to cut the deck last that's the rule i used in mtg. but i agree i don't play physical, plus the online one is just better at keeping track.
online programs are rigged too
I know there will always be toxic players but after watching this I'm glad I never got into real TCG, whether it be Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, Magic, etc. To put so much time and money into building a deck and learning how to play the game only for someone to steal 1 of your cards when you're not looking and then get you labelled a cheater for not having enough cards in your deck would just shatter me beyond repair.
It’s 1 bad match. Relax lol
@@Kurial94 lol you kidding me?
people steal cards all the fucking time, one of the reasons i quit playing the tcg was because my cards kept getting stolen
Wow how tf you do victim blaming when the youtuber itself say Don't victim blame
@@rendy1222 it does tell how bad yugioh community are isnt?
I've NEVER seen anyone steal like your describing before in person and i played super competitive yugioh for nearly a decade. People steal decks and binders, usually at big events. At locals just keep your stuff by you at all times and it'll be fine 100%. Playing in person is the best experience you can have with card gaming, I have made lifelong rivals and friends from in person playing, I honestly HATE all of these new video games because less people go to shops. Shops are very hard to maintain now because of stuff like this, so in person play is slowly dying I think. It has completely died where I live, in Alabama. I have to travel about an hour or more if I want in person play sadly. Best times of my life were when we had a local shop, don't rob yourself of a good opportunity and a great experience my friend
If all yugioh player knew how to undercut, or stack the deck by sleight of hand on every possible shuffle moment, ow boi, just a pointless game to play
3:14 "You have to assert your dominance, just grab their D"
Thanks, I'm in jail now
Ahhh, so this guy being my opponent is the reason I draw driver every match
The audacity of blaming others it's their fault for getting cheated leaves me speechless.
I can tell this isnt the first time that people caught cheating on a card game.
Shunsuke lmao
"YU GI OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH" - Said everyone who only watch season 1 and use it irl
"Dragon link duelist with a beard" DKayed asking the real questions
What's wrong with Dragon Link?. Its a great deck.
Btw if you don’t want this cheat to happen to you always ask your opponent to cut your deck or offer to cut his deck after he’s done shuffling. If they declined you might be getting cheated just call a judge and explain what’s happening.
Never let them re-cut their own deck either.
Love this kind of content from you and not just MD or DL gameplay
Stealing a card to get your opponent DQ'D. These cheaters are getting smarter lol. Sus of the cards guide him.
Prime Bandit Keith right there
Dude the "its the heart of the cards" pawn is not referring to Keith but to atem himself... Lmao
Wow! This is why playing online would always be my preferred way to play and why a lot of people would always complain about the online emulators not being fair as they can’t bend the game their way there. 😂
But playing in person you interact more. You can bluff and mind game your opponent. The game is SO much better, and deeper on paper and in person. All of the best parts are taken from the game over a video game dude, like making friends and rivals, trading, learning new tech and asking for advice, many things make the game more fun in person I promise
There’s still a ton of cheaters online too…
@@raijuko nah. Stop spamming people comments to play in person.
@@raijuko I still play paper now with a small group of friends and the people at my locals and it’s fun because of all the other interactions you mentioned.
And I would recommend if you have a group of friends you could play with, play with them and experience paper that way it would be fun.
But the moment my locals have a special tournament with better prices or just a more competitive event where more people will attend, like a qualifier, then that’s were you would most likely get cheated and it’s not fun.
I guess you could say it’s a part of the game and you have to get prepared for it just how you prepare for everything else but it sucks when you know or find out you got robbed of a win because you got cheated.
That’s just my humble opinion.
Cheaters never win kids, don't be like Bandit Keith's brother here and cheat.
"You think I won't do it again punk!"
@@AlwaysPur3 What are you gonna do bandit Keith shoot us with your invisible gun
lol cheaters never win if their opponent actually bothers to stop them, but most players just assume cheating is very rare and just let themselves get cheated like crazy.
imao talk about good cheater who just shuffle with the texture of the card and can reconize card with touch; like set all your secret in the bottom of the deck, sr/ur in the bottom and common in the up of the deck.
Dont worry guys its just Bandit Keith activating his Sleight of Hand skill.
These duel links skill memes never get old 🤣
Well there's reason why top players are typically the same person, in a digital format where everything is randomized fairly, the chance of someone winning two tournament in row is rather slim.
I kinda did the same thing but got out sleighted in pokemon tcg, the dude using cynthia (shuffle all cards on hand draw 6), when he gave me the deck to shuffle, I see the card I don't want him to draw because it would turn the game around, so I did the oldest trick in history of card game, hindu shuffling it all the way to the top so when he cut it the card would be burrowed in the middle or bottom, but to my surprise he managed to skillfully leave that card on the top side so he can draw it. Definitely cannot call judge because I'm guilty as well, but that should tell you to be a top player of card game in real life, you gotta learn a lot of magic tricks.
Wang and Shunsuke reach 2 finals.
Shunsuke himself is a top player in duel links as well, he play invoke in kc cup and got top 50.
Digimon NA nationals had a guy cheat multiple times on camera still lost too lol
imagine cheating and still losing
When he said “paper Yugioh cheating” ngl I felt accused lmao
I remember once at a ycs a guy put a card from his grave on top of his deck and the opponent noticed and called the judge and said i know the card he is going to draw and that moment a tear run down the face of the cheater xD
Ahahhahahaha
I've had this done to me multiple times IRL, and I could not prove it. It's one of the reasons I stopped playing, because multiple players were good at it, and were always topping the tournaments. People knew they were cheats (and thieves, that's another topic) but the lack of proof meant they always got away with it. I would get a judge to shuffle when I could, but it wasn't possible to have a judge shuffle every single time. Also never use white sleeves. Everyone uses white sleeves. Use a different colour from your opponent, re-sleeve if you have the time.
Some people also steal a card from your graveyard then run to a judged and tell them their opponent is running a 39 card deck
I've actually been in a similar situation as a judge in a magic tournament. It was a tournament with a lot of old school cards, and players would count their decks after every shuffle. We had a player get a permanent ban from magic, and because of the value of the card he slipped from his opponent's deck, a felony conviction for grand theft of an item worth more than 1000 dollars.
@vxicepickxv was it a first set "secret rare" (or whatever it's called in magic)?
When i look at how he pick up his opponent's deck, you can see he flips the deck around and the bottom of the card is visible for a short time
from there i know that this guy is going to do some shuffle shenanigans
Cheaters are the BANE of card games. If your opponent plays abnormally fast they're 99% most likely cheaters. Cowards.
This is more like the opposite. If the player is playing fast but announcing their effects properly, with their main deck and their hand visibly in a distance (for example many players prefer to have near them the GY and on the top Right/Left of their mat their main deck), it's more likely they are very well experienced with the deck.
When you see "thinking hard", not making a move for up to 3 minutes and then slowly making moves get ready not only for "time rules" but most probably for a "rule shark". And these are even harder that plain cheaters to deal with.
About card stacking and shifting cards, you can force the opponent to shuffle/search their deck in a different location AND NOT ABOVE their face-down hand, as well as cut everything and force them to just "final cut" your deck.
If you see they "shuffle" your deck "sideways" while looking at it, you can call a judge because they would try to find out which cards you play.
yea like i play fast but only cuz i know how to play my deck but if my opponent wants me to slow down i will but just cuz someone plays fast doesn't mean they are cheating but like bab said they are just experienced with the deck and the game and this goes for basically any card game too not just yugioh
@@zombiegod34 Doesn't matter what you think or feel. Playing fast is the main technique they use to cheat. Imma call you out and everyone else should do the same.
@@doublestarships646 cool but you know what they say about assuming. but good luck with calling random people out you don't know for cheating.
@@doublestarships646 doesn't matter what you think or feel. playing fast doesn't mean that they're cheating, Yu-Gi-Oh tcg is very combo deck heavy so you have to play fast if you don't want to enter time or you just know your deck really well, it's when they shift speeds when they're most likely cheating
Magician here. That's terrible sleight of hand.
It was the most obvious stack I've ever seen, holy shit.
It's also the other dudes fault for not cutting the deck after the shuffle
I’ve started yugioh at age 6 when it first came out and my older brother would always tell me to cut his deck and never vs a person in tournament unless they let you cut their deck.
Question. If lots of cheating is done in the way the desk is shuffled, whey not come up with a shuffling machine that both players can use? so that the shuffling will be done by an autonomous machine that is not under any influences?
I promise I had a uno toy that shuffled the deck for you idk why they don't use it. Hell even casinos have card shuffling machines
Your a 10th rate duelist with a 9th Rate deck (I know I changed it)
“I’m Seto Kaiba, this allows me to take a high power monster from your deck and add it to my hand, I have a feeling you know which monster I have my eye on”
I used to magic tricks with cards and shit, this is literally someone with zero experience stacking a deck. The fact he did this in a tournament live match is just incredible to me 😂
when it comes to cutting you have to offer the cut your opponent doesn’t get the last cut
now that master duel is getting more popular and konami wants to make it an esports, and there won't be any more cheating anymore
That's why I hard cut after my opponent shuffles my deck. They have no choice but to cut and can not shuffle again
Imagine facing someone with actually good slight of hand and card controll,
i mean theres an entire technique called false shuffle.
Don't let your wizard or cardistry friend play Yu-Gi-Oh with you!
It wasnt till videos like this that people freaking out on me makes sense. I always waited for the shuffle before continuing play and people would often call a judge to say I was slow playing.
Whether I'm playing Magic or yugioh I always watch my opponent shuffle and I always cut.
i played like 4 regionals ever. I would stock up on sleeves of the same color and id have to resleeve key cards in my deck every other round. Wasn't ever an issue at my locals as when theres only like 20 people. you can sniff out whos sleeve marking pretty fast.
I love Dragon link, and this cheater makes me sick, not having faith in his own draws. POS
I could not compete in yugioh, dude if someone stole my card out my deck and accused me of cheating, best believe I’d have the glock pressed against his back and demand he gives me my card back and forfeits the match
That's why you never let your opponent shuffle your deck. And when you cut you opponents deck. Do a triple cut. Drop the first 4 or 5 card from the bottom of the deck then put those cards on top. So if they cheated. Now they will have all those garnets in their hand.
I'm always curious, are local duelists know all the cards effects?
Because I always play yugioh on my PC and always take a moment to read every single card they use
Most locals often used a same deck or popular/meta cards, so it's your duty to at least know the basic knowledge about your opp's deck/cards.. and in a case where you are a new player or you're up against an unfamiliar deck, you can say something like "hey, i'm kinda new to this game/format. Please walk me your plays/deck" or "hey, what deck is that? What does it do?..
At least in my locals, they always explain the basic thing of what their cards do while doing their plays without being asked to like "this card can search this", "if this card is summoned i can do this", and "these card has these effects"..
I think this is the only real benefit of playing in person which is the ease of communication
In locals, it's about the same . If your unfamiliar you can politely ask to hold and read said unfamiliar card, it's stupid not to do that with everything because sometimes you won't remember an additional effect a card may have, which will cause you to misplay and lose later on. Always read everything.
@@raijuko ahh so its basically the same
I'm curious because I've watched people doing their combo like a mad lad
If i was their opponent, I would feel bad to interrupt their "geekness" lol
I do slight of hand card magic as a hobby. Not pro level or anything, but I do know how these things work. This is not even close to deceptive false shuffling at all. A true professional card magician could stack as many draws as they want AND nullify the cut if they so choose and no one would see anything, maybe not even the camera!
There was another clip where he replaces a card in hand with an effect veiler from his deck while searching out Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon
I used to play pokemon tcg back in the day so idk about yugioh rules regarding shuffling. But it used to be a rule where the opponent could only cut the deck, not shuffle. Youre supposed to be the one shuffling and the cut from the opponent is to prevent cheating. Dont know what happened to that, but i think that needs to be a thing again.
Then the deck owner get the advantages to stack
Simply you suffle the deck and your opponent cut it.
I have a few "friends" who were guilty of this on a regular basis and sometimes straight up deny you your cut of their deck after searching. I will tell them straight up, "it is my choice weather your deck goes back with or without a cut, If you deny me my cut, I can assume you are both cheating and breaking the manners of dueling therefore you automatically surrender."
Man was playing duel links and activated his skill before the duel started
For legal reasons this comment is meant to teach players how to prevent cheating.
Glancing at the bottom of the deck during shuffling and then stacking that card on top is a common form of cheating. This player did it in a really crude and obvious way. Beware of players performing a hindu/overhand shuffle that ends with them placing a single card on top of the deck. It may look inconspicuous, but may be an attempt at cheating.
Always cut your opponents deck!
Yeah the constant fear of some rando stealing my shit and cheating made me so paranoid, that after I had to rule shark somebody cause they kept their area really messy after I asked them to clean it up so it doesn't mess our match, it became my wake up call to stop playing the game. I just follow the news now and occasionally buy cards. But as for tournament goes, I lost faith in people a long time ago.
I’m a magician and this is a terrible attempt at stacking. I do slight of hand with cards, and there are many better, undetectable ways to accomplish what he just did.
thanks for stating the obvious. "There are better ways to cheat, I know, I'm a professional." Cool story bro.
@@RecordToDeathToBoredom did a clown not show up to you Birthday party one year? #trollwithnolife
Out of curiosity what are some ways to hide from both the person and the camera?
@@alwaystired4506 There are some retention shuffles that look like a legit shuffle, but allow you to keep cards on the top/bottom. What I was trying to get across in my first message is that it’s worth searching for, watching, and learning a few basic false shuffles that magicians/gamblers use so you can spot it when an opponent tries to pull something. We’ve caught it multiple times at locals. Some are easy enough to learn and do in a couple hours without much practice, so I’m sure it’s way more prevalent than people realize.
are you a spellian?
why even cheat. I just don't get it
lol he just wanted the concept of "believe in the heart of the cards" to work
Things must be getting tight if dude's robbing from graveyards
For everyone , this tournament was played three days ago in Italy,it was a regional, and this guy Codianni GOT caught later that day and banned for ever .
Even if they do not stack your deck, just looking at cards in deck gives them information they should not have. Looking away from deck while shuffling should be enforced to disable nonsense like this.
Make a mandatory rule that after every game players have to count and check their cards. Would solve a lot of cheating and stealing problems. Ppl won't be to scoop and leave
3:15 grab their what?
One time there was a dude that had 5 cards in his spell zone and then plays a 6 on the middle of the field to activate it. The other person didn't notice and then I jump in and ask, has the rules changed and you can play 6 cards now?
Your back row and field spell??
@@joekline5171 The back row was full so he threw the card in the middle of the board saying "I activate this card"
Always shuffle and tell your opponent to cut , you can tell them you don’t want them to shuffle so you don’t get cheated
TIL asserting dominance and grabbing your opponent’s D is a healthy way to play yugioh
3:15 best line to avoid cheating
That is his skill when averytime a card active any effect that will shuffle your deck,you can choose any card and put it to top of your deck after that shuffle effect.
The funny thing is that he can see him doing this as he looks in his own deck. He didn't even do the cut which makes no sense at all. So in truth one guy cheated but the other guy let him cheat lmao.
This is why you cut your deck after you opp picks up to "shuffle".
I guess one way to curb the cheating is to have dedicated shufflers at every table.
He pulled the Bandit Keith move
Here is best advice I can give to anyone to prevent as much cheating as possible. When ever your opponent is touch cards that are not on field or hand is you watch them. If you can’t like searching a card from deck wait until your opponent is done with what they are doing.
Shuffle, then cut
Has always been table etiquette
I wish the judges had personal Yugioh cards to punish people who cheated. Would make it more settling.
If someone tried to steal my card and accuse me of cheating I would legit judo wrestle them.
Great advice here. When you play locals, people aren't really THAT likely to cheat, but it happens. Regional and up is where it really goes wild. Watch some videos on card sleight of hand, there are magic the gathering channels on TH-cam here that post videos showing typical ways players stack the deck and cheat, it's well worth educating with if you plan to go to an event. Also, they cheat by stalling for time sometimes. If a player is taking forever , every turn, and not actively playing cards that whole time, call a judge. They are likely trying to get your life under theirs, then play something stupid like threatening roar when it comes to your turn count after time is up. A friend of mine had that happen and he lost out of top 8 at a regional, because he didn't want to seem rude when he should have called judge to tell the guy to hurry up. TH-camr MTG Degree has a GREAT video on simple ways people can fake shuffle or stack the deck, check him out for some great info on this kinda stuff, even though he doesn't post anymore the video still exists and it's extremely helpful info for any of you non-experienced players that haven't been in a high competition environment before :) Oh yea, one I forgot, also you may check the sides and tip/ bottom rims of your opponents entire deck too. Sometimes they will use markers to place a black dot on the rims of cards to mark them and cheat. As long as you DONT look at the bottom card of their deck, you may look at the deck when you cut it. Many have been caught using this marking method to cheat in Yugioh tournaments before. Stay smart fellow duelists!
I topped a regional where I didn't play against any of the known cheats in swiss. Most of the known cheats were in the Top 8. I lost in the semi finals to one under strange circumstances, it was 1-1 and I drew well in my game 3 opening hand, then every time I searched my deck I would draw a brick the next turn, and eventually ran out of options and lost to perfect counters to everything I had. I knew what happened, other people knew it. But nobody could prove a thing.
That same tournament, the police were called out because a binder full of big money cards went missing. It never did get recovered, the culprit was widely known but yet again, there was no proof. It wasn't the first time it happened either, it was such a shit show. I am fortunate I never had any of my own cards stolen but I was vigilant and made it harder by having obscure sleeves. When everyone is using white sleeves it makes it so much easier for people to steal.
Dude stole my card, used it against me and I still won.
That’s why I always bring Duel Disk.
If it was good sleight of hand he wouldnt have got caught.
Someone phone Will Smith.
Another reason why I don't like anyone else shuffle my deck
He is going to be notorious!
So how do I catch someone in master duel for cheating because somehow I'm always drawing bricks while my opponent is always drawing the perfect hand
Unless your opponent has found a way to interfere with Master Duel's electronic play system over the Internet (which is launched from within a protected Cloud infrastructure) using hacking tools (in which case it's very easily noticed) its near impossible to pull off a sleight of hand magic trick on an online simulator which is quite well randomized. Any deck has the potential to brick. If you're bricking more often than not, that's a problem with the deck build.
So besicly just stick to md as people can't steal your cards on that sinceit online?
Stuff like this is why I play mobile.
They should do like other games do and permanently ban them from any Konami event forever. The only way of making people afraid of cheating is by placing harsh punishments. (not warnings)
Ban them and take half their decks to be shredded online (an even amount of traps monsters and spells if it still can't be determined take away the whole deck)
Good to expose this stuff, excellent video
Well those thumbnail keep getting better and better
Bandit Keith in real life. KEKWait
It surprises me how in this 20+ years old card game no one had the idea to make a shuffling machine for this sort of events. A lot of problems could've been avoided (not to say it wouldn't create its own tho, but not like this)
I'm an engineer who play this game. I think it would be hard to create such a machine considering too many different kind of sleeves (sizes, texture, thickness, etc.). It maybe possible but the machine will be expensive and big. You'll realistically need one for every duel to not prolong the duration just for shuffling. The budget just for buying and maintaining the machine will be absurdly high
Tcgplayer just recently announced they start developing a card sorting machine with a startup. This will be easier since it will only take care of their cards, which conditions can be controlled by them easily
