Predicted: 60/40 Favoring True Dracos Actual: 70/30 Favoring True Dracos True Dracos OVERWHELMED Mermatlanteans severly with their overall stronger monsters, consistency, and their bane: Floodgates! I'm glad you didn't included Master Peace, they really don't need him for this year's CBC! (Maybe til we have a TIER 0 CBC hint hint wink wink) Mermails only hopes in winning was by completely stunning True Dracos temporarily and hoping to discard their important resources via Megaglancia! Their lack of spell/trap cards and over all power was one of the big reasons why they lost this match 3-1. This was never going to be an easy match for Mermatlanteans and they will need to do their best against H.A.T. and Tellarknights, other trap reliant decks. If they want to make it thru the group stages.
Really glad you dropped MP he was way too strong for this cup, the outcome was exactly what I expected, although I admit I underestimated Mermails a bit but the bonus duel at the end was a perfect display of TD’s potential, even when you are being shut out by negates and Dweller you could still claw your way back to a dominating win!
So I'm wondering, I haven't seen the Cross Banlist Cup before, do you change the lists between matches? Because that Draco list sucks in 90% of matchups, No Gozen, Imperial Order, Amano Iwato, or Boarder? Those are all automatic in Draco, Storm Duster is Pointless, Raigeki sucks, and most lists after Terraforming went to 2 started to cut Desires for the grind game, and most run There Can Be Only One instead of Rivalry.
tbh you really nerfed the deck XD "but not really" great video as always lith *^ * next match we will lit witness a murder xD the only exception would be colloseum + stalling + the ABC player bricks xD keep up the great work ^^
The mermail deck is super incorrect. If you look at the lists that topped ARGs during that fall and winter season, you'll have an idea as to how the builds were optimized. The outcome vs. True Draco would still be the same though.
True Dracos are a bad designed deck! Who thought having a deck that can summon consistently a better towers (Cancer card) 3 big +1 monsters , having s/t with 3 great effects, a busted field spell ,floodgates and being able to play desires/demise/duality a good idea. A very bad designed deck , barely any restructions on the effects and just bs
Sospicion agree. The worst part is definitely being able to play the draw spells without any hinderance others wise the deck is not as consistent. I don’t think many other main stream decks can play all the generic draw spells like this deck.
Sospicion exactly. And the combination of generic +1 or 2 draw spells, monster effects that activate during opponents turn, flood gate and spells and traps that have multiple effects, even if they’re sent to grave is just too unfair.
Sospicion and it’s so stupid the deck can make the plays while breaking your board with spell and trap grave effects which is much harder to stop than monster graveyard effects. It’s a better version basically of Atlantan grave effects or just like inzektor hornet effect which can be stopped by DD crow or called by the grave.
It would be funny if the finals ends up being zoodiac vs true draco. Lol throw back to that format where these 2 decks dominated the meta. Also next Match 3-1 ABC
Amazing match. Seeing this I understand why you decided to not include Master Peace. That's quite unfortunate nonetheless. Also you gotta admire the fact that there is Raigeki in the Draco list, this is funny with all the trashing the card received those recent times.
Raigeki in main deck was, I think, a leftover from the Amano build. Back in Spyral format, before we had Knightmares, you only needed to normal summon Amano and drop Raigeki to smash the Spyral board.
It’s still very early in the year but can we get all over powered decks next year? You know like master peace, zoo with the fusion and all the other nonsense decks
Game 2, He should’ve kept the Toad and tributed the Aqua Spirit in hand for Toadally Awesome’s effect. That way he was 100% safe from the Rivalry during his own turn cuz the Toad would’ve been on the field. He hard-drew Twin Twister but still. Game 3, I would’ve probably Morayed. Cuz Megalo + Dragoons into 4 backrow. Idk about that. Lol.
I wish you played the ocg true draco invoked with blue boy engine. No annoying floodgates, master peace at 1, and something that is, you know, worthy of the *BANLIST* cup.
ABC 3 - Bujin 1 ABC is just better with few things in Bujin that can directly counter it, but I imagine Bujins could get at least 1 really good game going first
I can't believe people think abc is gonna beat a anti meta floodgate deck like bujins Kaiser stops them from doing their plays so does triple Vanity's emptiness
About the part in which you continue rambling into the first part of the duel. I find it confusing when you talk about the decks and the pools you have while I have to keep track of the game. I don't know if I am the only one feeling this way. I really like these videos, I would just like to not skip the first 1½ minutes because you talk and talk :)
true draco is just too strong against older decks because of the consistency with which you open floodgates and interruption plays next winner will be abcs... bujins has just no chance to stop them
Well True Draco is just one of the most ugly decks ever created by Konami :S Back then I was so in love with the true kings and the support cards for them until they suddenly revealed these odd ugly tribute guys.
Floodgates galore… pretty saddening. But tbh, I thought the Atlantean was way worse than it was, didn't realise it could make this great of boards. ABC 3-1, They are the better deck, but it could be 3-2, because of ABC struggling against backrow and the possibility of bricking w/ garnet.
Lazy Lee its really the only reason why they won to be honest. And people keep staying “TD too strong”... I’m here saying “bitch is rivalry not TD” Jajajaja
Im sorry lithium you played like a champ no doubt but that was a really bad mermail player. For games 2 and 3 he could have done better and we know there was no sekkas light but there were extra deck monsters that were better for example. Cryston quandax with a lvl 4 on field. You can make the mermail xyz and sit on that board and if u soul charge extend youll have a beastly board. Molen, gaios, mizuchi and on the opponants turn make aura whale and keep reviving him because of his effect to come back. There was no called by the grave so it was a huge power house very few gave credit too. Mind that aura whales effect will activate cause he was synchro summoned.
I like watching True Draco go, but tbh it's more interesting against something that actually puts a struggle. Monsters that float into SS and chainable s/t that make it harder than just tribute s/t and pick apart the board. Also disgusting af knowing you don't need to outplay Ash to use Demise.
I wish True Draco had switched with Fluffals in Group G. Then all the OP meta defining decks would be in the same group!
True Draco with Master Peace is one of the strongest decks in Yu-Gi-Oh history. Not including him was a correct decision.
true i lost with it one time in my li_fe facing an anti draco deck xD

Yeah, anyone who has played Mermails enough knows that the True Draco deck is the Mermail deck's worst nightmare
Really glad you dropped MP he was way too strong for this cup, the outcome was exactly what I expected, although I admit I underestimated Mermails a bit but the bonus duel at the end was a perfect display of TD’s potential, even when you are being shut out by negates and Dweller you could still claw your way back to a dominating win!
Bujins have only 2 banned cards (vanity’s and Kaiser), and without opening those cards, they can’t win. They’ve were powercrept by ABC format
Nice timing sir ^^
funny thing i entered the video before getting the notif LOL
can't wait to see the murder of the sardines *^ *
Please use the list you used in the 2017's cup for nekroz, please!!!!
Who is your candidate for a winner this year. Mine are pendulum magicians.
I'm also rooting for all Toadally Awesome Decks as well as Dark Matter.
Oof as a Merlantean played this was hard to watch.
Poor Mermails, always getting so close but always ending losing. Go ABC!

keep up the great work ^^
lithium that duality into demise was hilarious
If you could put the decklists of the decks of the next match at the end it would help.
If you are going to do "a new challenger appears" can you do this with masterpeice?
The mermail deck is super incorrect. If you look at the lists that topped ARGs during that fall and winter season, you'll have an idea as to how the builds were optimized. The outcome vs. True Draco would still be the same though.
How come you never used the trap cards Escalation effect?

@@shingoukiex bad in concept. Too unfair

Floodgate turbo, nice.
man 1 masterpiece
It would be funny if the finals ends up being zoodiac vs true draco. Lol throw back to that format where these 2 decks dominated the meta. Also next Match 3-1 ABC
This was before Amano Iwato was common in lists?
I love how true draco won even tho he sucked at playing it. Always a solid deck
Amazing match. Seeing this I understand why you decided to not include Master Peace. That's quite unfortunate nonetheless. Also you gotta admire the fact that there is Raigeki in the Draco list, this is funny with all the trashing the card received those recent times.
With masterpeacce it would have been overkill.
Raigeki in main deck was, I think, a leftover from the Amano build. Back in Spyral format, before we had Knightmares, you only needed to normal summon Amano and drop Raigeki to smash the Spyral board.
It’s still very early in the year but can we get all over powered decks next year? You know like master peace, zoo with the fusion and all the other nonsense decks
Please bring back the number counter on the video title q.q
Game 2, He should’ve kept the Toad and tributed the Aqua Spirit in hand for Toadally Awesome’s effect.
That way he was 100% safe from the Rivalry during his own turn cuz the Toad would’ve been on the field. He hard-drew Twin Twister but still.
Game 3, I would’ve probably Morayed.
Cuz Megalo + Dragoons into 4 backrow.
Idk about that. Lol.
No Master Peace no worries, it wasn't even close.
I will pick ABC for next match.
Not Callum’s Mermail deck from 2016? That deck topped back-to-back YCSs, plus Genex Controller makes the deck less consistent.
Decided to go with the Toad/Shark combo also, now still easy possible in MR3 with Norden.
Lithium2300 that’s cool, True Draco would probably have won comfortably either way
I wish you played the ocg true draco invoked with blue boy engine. No annoying floodgates, master peace at 1, and something that is, you know, worthy of the *BANLIST* cup.
Masterpeace for another time =)
Lithium2300 I understand your concern 😊 btw I like the little thing on the left side that you did where we can see the scores.
Why no amano for td?
no lithium :( we were so close of getting the boss monster :/
in game 1 turn 1 was all 3 summons normal summons?
Yes, all normal summons.
ABC gonna steamroll. I wish I could be more optimistic but this is ABC we're talking about here.
THE NEXT MATCH UP IS TKYZDinos
True Draco can have Master Peace when all the blowout floodgates are banned, skill drain, ambush if the monarchs, rivalry of the warlord etc.
Seems to be like Mermail had cero opportunities vs True Draco.
Being a modern day draco player you need to play dark bribe to protect your backrow or strike of the monarchs
Fastest click of my life
Gonna go with ABC. Deck has good speed and Dragon Buster is just strong.
8/10= 4/5 people said that tru Draco will win
Tru Draco won 4/5 games.
Did we predict the ratio?
0:11 that draw engine though
I have a feeling Rivalry, Monarch's Erup or Skill Drain might already win on duels on their own...
I'm pretty sure that if dracos had Master Peace they would be a strong contender for the title
ABC 3 - Bujin 1
ABC is just better with few things in Bujin that can directly counter it, but I imagine Bujins could get at least 1 really good game going first
I can't believe people think abc is gonna beat a anti meta floodgate deck like bujins Kaiser stops them from doing their plays so does triple Vanity's emptiness

I'm definitely thinking ABC will win the next one.
Also buijin’s will be slaughtered. They might be the weakest deck in this tournament by far.
it's weak, but the weakest one that shouldn't be there is Quickdraw
honestly if you add masterpiece pretty sure they could win the cup
DMoC OTK would be a good deck for this I think
true draco is just too strong against older decks because of the consistency with which you open floodgates and interruption plays next winner will be abcs... bujins has just no chance to stop them
Abc will kill bujin easily cause of the power creep but good games💪💪😊😊
I think ABC is gonna win 3 - 2 vs Bujins, but it really looks like anyone's game
MASTER FUCKING PEACE, this is a cross banlist cup FFS.
to be honest true draco deck with masterpeace is one of the strongest deck ever created in the game
Link version of mermail is a lot stronger than 2016 mermail, draco is still the same so we filled the gap
Well True Draco is just one of the most ugly decks ever created by Konami :S
Back then I was so in love with the true kings and the support cards for them until they suddenly revealed these odd ugly tribute guys.
ABC is such a powerful deck and i cant see it losing to bujins
ABC 3-1
Bujin wins at most one game
ABC 3-1
Not surprising, TD is too strong even without Masterpeace. I say ABC wins 3-1 next, Bujins are just too slow.
Imagine Master Peace lmao
Unfortunately for bujins power creep is a thing. ABC ez win
Master peace.....why lithium why...he was our saviour
Maybe ABC 3:2
Abcs 3-2 but only if they win the dice roll
We all now mermails are better in this match up in general
If we had true draco full power now orcust wouldnt be the best deck
Floodgates galore… pretty saddening. But tbh, I thought the Atlantean was way worse than it was, didn't realise it could make this great of boards. ABC 3-1, They are the better deck, but it could be 3-2, because of ABC struggling against backrow and the possibility of bricking w/ garnet.
LOL Bujins??? versus ABC!
CMon. Oh yeah yeah
i voted in bujins cause i prefer the underdogs
Draco with anti-spell and boarder is better than with erupt.
Debatable, most decks do rely on monster effects, and the most degenerate build I used actually mained both of those since it covered all bases.
@@admontblanc thats why you use boarder.
@@admontblanc and it is to stop decks that want to use raigeki as side and strikers.
Abc Will win 3-2 probably cuz crane just is not that scary and its more consistant Than kaiser.
Bujin with 3 0 due grave trap
no way abc lose this match, 3-0
Go my ABC 3-1!!!
That Draco deck list is ASS for this. If you have full power Pepe in these then you can have masterpeace.
really bad mermail player: i have 3 sea serpents and 2 aqua. rivalry? I select aqua monster ..... BAD.
No MP? NP.
Abc should 3-0 bujins. All Day Every Day Any Day.
I Hope Bujin can steal this. 3-2 Bujin
Rivalry is such a degenerate card
Lazy Lee its really the only reason why they won to be honest. And people keep staying “TD too strong”... I’m here saying “bitch is rivalry not TD” Jajajaja
ABC ALL THE WAAYY!!! 3-0 EASY
Ughh... True Draco is so horrible deck to go against, ABC easy 3-1.
Buijins 3-2.
Boooooo #freethepeace
Kaiser and Vanity's is gonna burn abc lmao
Im sorry lithium you played like a champ no doubt but that was a really bad mermail player.

Dracos is such a boring deck
who actually likes to watch this deck
