@@deltaed3517 not really. Sky Striker has to basically be its own deck because all the spells require no monsters in the main monster zones. Engage, Hornet Drones, a maybe another teched Sky Striker card or two may work in various decks but likely no more than a 4-6 card package
Alexander The one In the case of Raye you could but it’s best to run her links too like Hayate or Kaina since they have arrows benefiting you but the spells besides Area Zero and Multirole do have the “no monsters in the main monster zone” but they’re kind of pointless without the other spells.

I like the meme, but Man-Eater Bug is just a worse Spine. I know, I ruin the fun, but MEB is no "can"-effect, so you HAVE to destroy a monster, even if it is itself. Krawler Spine leaves you a choice. Again, sorry for the seriousness.
Such solid advice. Also, people should be ready to identify if they're playing for fun or playing to win. And if you are playing for fun, don't be upset with the people who are playing to win. Most people don't like to travel an hour across town, pay entry, then go x-3 drop at locals.
Still got my misprint ulti Hanzo signed by you. Im one of those who travels 4 hrs to Regional and plays every game with four loses then goes to Hooters and gets drunk and has a great time.
@@DerVasto thats my point. Ash usually hurts these one card brainless combo copy decks people run around with. My deck is built around multiple plays on a consistent basis at a consistent ratio. These decks I've built just don't show up at locals, or events. It's like the decks brick under pressure.😂
One of the most important part of playtesting is to actully have a clock for the 40 minutes timer. While 8wouldnt recommend it if you are playing a new deck, if you’re playtesting for an event implementing the time rules is actually crucial, it helps to know when to surrender a game in order to be able to play g3
Arguably one of the most impprtant things to know. Most people who play competitive already know how to play the game well enough. Knowing when to fold is one of those things that really can be the difference beween a full 2-3 games, and a time loss/draw.
Wait you mean forcing out a draw on time isn't what youre supposed to do if you know you've got no hope in winning, the clock works both ways if you know you won't beat them in a best of three then stall out the games so you can tie on time or something
Playtesting with open hands can be very helpful. I found that I play better with my opponents hand than my own, so I usually just give my deck to my opponent
A video that would be very helpful is one about what to hand trap and negate for random "rogue" or low tier decks. If we are practicing solely against meta and we come across something like Madolche or Frightfur there is a low chance to know what to negate. I know how to play against meta and regularly practice against it at locals but then I go on DB ranked and I have very little idea what to do to these lower tier decks (granted I normally win.) But it would be nice to vaguely know what to hit without having to duel it multiple times. The type of decks you would see a lot at regionals.
@@jasonbourne5200 since you are commenting online, you obviously have internet. There are plenty of ways to play online; I would suggest duelingbook.com. It is free, has every legal card ever made, and multiple different formats for people to play, including a beginner mode.
I've watched a few of your vids now and for someone getting back into it after 4 years of being out of the game, I must say you've helped me a lot keep up the good work bro
one ofter thing i do is if i have my cards and only a few min is read the card over and over till you say ot word for word. that way you know the card and then can look for other ways they work together with out having to think
Unfortunatelly, this Is a case un which you have to go to a local store and start testing. It Is like online play, you may be good on your own, but having teammates to tests will always allow for a better improvement. Even if you don't have friends, local stores are filled with people wanting to test/play more competitive so you shouldn't hace trouble finding someone to test with.
@@nictay6180 lol, you're just describing basically all local stores. Jokes aside, what are you testing for? A YCS, regional, ir what kind of evento? A lot of people act like that (even worst) during big tournaments. Sweaty, rude, smelly, unfriendly, annoying, sharky... You can't take the social aspect of the game, for good or worst, out of it. I think that for you, it will even help you get used yo uncomfortable situation that, trust me will happen during a big tournament. As a former judge i have seen very nasty and rude players, and sometimes people start getting tilted and play badly because they're not usted to it. You kindda need to get used to it to an extent, so that you can enjoy the Tournament better. If you're really don't want to go through that, like 100% not doing it, all you can do is Dueling Book, trying to write descriptions like "testing against meta, full match", things like that. But it won't help you as much. Try to find online groups for testing, in the forums or any webpage.
Thank you very much for your answers. My locals is filled with underaged kids but I guess I will have to deal with it in order to get the necessary experience. Thanks again you are awesome 🤘
J.Rose From my experience, if you grind to the higher ranks on Duelingbook, or even host a room to only play versus meta decks, you’re more likely to be productive with your online playtesting. It’s not perfect, but sometimes helps speed up the process.
Speaking of solitaire, I met a guy at my 1st locals I played at that gave some great advice. He said to just draw a hand, figure out how far you can play it, and set it aside as a good hand or bad hand. Then repeat. It was similar to what I had already done, but better.
awesome, I'm so glad you made this. I've been getting back into the game lately, and it's really cool seeing someone explain how the hyper-geometric distribution could be used in deck building. I did a minor in maths at uni, and had a card game on my phone that had a lot of chance effects. The binomial distribution, hyper-geometric distribution, and Bayesian statistics were by far the most helpful in deck design for that game. Glad the same tools apply equally well in Yugioh :)
So happy to see cimo mentioning the calculator. It’s been invaluable over the last couple years and people always look at me like I’m speaking Greek when I’m talking probability.
Sir, as an old school player that recently got back into yugioh and ventured into the competitive side. Best, and most helpful video I’ve seen. Thank you.
@@harryperezperez5036 Change of Heart is just like Mind Control basically, but having a potential 6 "lol, my monster now" is cancer, I'd rather not deal with such players.
@@harryperezperez5036 I haven´t felt like any card would deserve being un-banned right now, the list is pretty solid at the moment. I´d wish No. 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark-Matter Dragon would get a work-over to not be so stupidly broken anymore, but the last cards I thought deserve some love were Shurit and Stratos. And they got back, Shurit at 2 and Stratos un-banned. So I´ve nothing left.
These are really good tips. A friend told me just to do test hands. I mainly play with my friends and know two out of three decks. Dark magician and blue eyes. My third friend uses a completely unusual deck but what's worse is he tends to bend the rules a bit. One of them even uses an exodia deck. Whereas mine is a rokket deck with a few cards to go with blue eyes white dragon. Of course I have 2 Ash Blossoms in ther too
Cimooo... This is one of the most if not THE most informative video you have ever made. Bravo. Killer content. The math, the professionalism, everything was on point. 💪
My personal recommendation is to *make sure* you and your friends have your rulings correct, or at least have someone that really knows their rulings. I've met people that have done things like activate a Spinny with no cards (which is illegal), and think it's okay without reading the card or having someone put them in check. On the competitive scene, any decent player will call you out 90% of the time.
I was watch Billy Brake and Philly Luna play test once at a Regionals and what they were doing when testing a single card was keep it out of the deck and start with that card and only draw four. They would also switch that card out in the middle if a duel while they had it to see how effective something was in a certain situation.
@@thewarrior4724 no, you misunderstood me. Like I said, Hypergeo calc is the only thing I remember. Why? Because it's the only thing that was useful to me. What did I use it for? Deck building ratios and probability. This video didn't make me realize anything. Sheesh
It’s been really cool In college we progressively became more competitive as the years have gone by in 2015 we all played kinda scrubby decks However, my focus towards the competitive started off with playing combo goukis (2018) but now I’m playing guard dragon pendulum metalfoes (the deck is nuts, I might switch to endymion ), my friend is playing thunder dragon guard dragon dangers, and my other friend is playing orcust. It is so cool to see the change and know that I’m getting better as a player snd playing decks that win are a lot of fun.
It is, but I'm not actually sure how to use it for combos. Here's an example, say you are running a classic pure Legendary Six Samurai list and want to see how often you can synchro summon Shi En on the first turn while going first. The available combos that will get you there involve 2 - 3 cards usually but these cards can vary wildly. From Elder of the Six Samurai + Asceticism to Kagemusha of the Six + Kageki (swap any of these with Shien's Smoke Signal or ROTA), to Kizan + any lvl 3 Six Samurai + Shien's Dojo, there's a lot of possibilities to improve on ratios.
personnaly i like a deck with a lot of different cards still linked togheter but i do love to improvise with what i get more than stiking to a focused strat. if i have a play that is not likely to happen...when it does it will be more fun to play it.
Also practice playing under a clock for time rules purposes, and for me, cuz I take a while to think out the most optimal play, maybe time how long it takes to complete a play/turn
We need to discuss how all of the pot monsters and stuff needs to have errata’s to make them work with the new cards like desires and extravagance to draw one more card and bring those decks back
My number 1 way to improve at the game is to play the meta I.e Go learn how salads play Go learn how to orcust combo Go learn pendulum Noing what the standard turn will be will help you 1. No what to stop negate or plan ahead 2. What techs and what's unauthodox about his build 3. Understand the cards without having to read em and think about responses
And that somehow was the reason why I played Gravekeeper's during the Gouki format Gouki couldn't use rematch, couldn't stand against some floodgates, as such, activating rivalry after they summoned a. Knightmare monster, etc, etc Also many of the decks during that format get really wiped out if they didn't had access to their GYs, and such Still thinking on a way to add nat beast to orcust combo nowadays tho
You cannot ever add Naturia Beast to Orcust combo (not wrong to try but I think that's impossible) since after summoning Orcust and use its effect, you can only summon Dark monster Also nat beast need earth monster Or just cheat it with Waking the Dragon (not a bad idea tho), hope you opp destroys it
A hypergeometric calculator isn't all that convincing when shuffling your deck irl is involved But reste is legit. Especially playing against top tier to see how well your deck perform against them.
@@SketchyHat after each duel whereither or not you forget to make sure to shuffle your deck in a way that you won't see the cards you played during your previous duel again.make this matters. Because this can makes you end up opening with 3 copy of the same cards
@@drearydoll6305 that still doesn't affect using the calculator. all the calculator tells you is the chances of a card or a groups of cards appearing in your hand. shuffling doesn't affect your chances of opening a certain card unless you're stacking
@@drearydoll6305 stacking isn't shuffling. its just cheating. so if you're saying that the calculator won't work if you're planning on stacking, then yea i guess you're right but then you're just missing the point of why you should use the calculator
lol my friend don’t like me using Borrelsword atk steal effect because of math attack(divide + add). he said calculating such a pain in the butt 😂 me and my friend duel for fun, never been in Locals before.
Can you make a video about how to use hypergeometric calculators? Because I didn't know they existed before you said it in this video and I'm trying to figure out ratios and stuff for how to build a DM Chaos hybrid deck and I feel like I'm the only one doing it and it would be helpful to make it as efficient as possible. I really am having a hard time perfecting it because I don't know every card in existence and there may be a card that'll help it that I don't know about. I recently acquired a sphere mode so that'll help my deck a lot
Am I the only one doing the probabilities in my head lol and I started with dark world and gold sarcophagi and boosters put in. Don't need to read my cards anymore unless very obscure. First build going first with 5 cards 2-3 options at least and can deal with link summon effects using spells needed to get my cards into the graveyard by force or no space to summon and only 2 semi/limited
Plan on getting the deck banned by punching through 3000 and more attack monsters with ease tragoedia will recognized as more broken than slifer when I'm through but heavy spell count and invincible monsters using belial
Back in February I jumped back in to the game after 13yrs and have discovered that there are no online groups in my area and the closest locals is an hour away from my home. could I just not be looking the wrong way for these chances to test? Also I am struggling to find a good reference about game machanics as well. I did play on ygo pro and dueling book but found they same problem of people just droping off any advice?
Play test i go ygo pro is automatic chain but i will get hang of effects and chaining then go dueling book to finish touches Note get friend is faster with meta deck Buying the cards is next tcgplayer is my go to or ebay depends on price
Even with Kaijuus, you would have to be super lucky to out your opponent's board if they build a negation board when going 2nd. The type of deck you play doesn't matter whether it is meta or otherwise because your opponent won't let you play. The game has gotten way too toxic because Konami doesn't care about game balance and keeps printing negation cards.
This maybe an odd comment. But I dip in and out of playing. Perhaps you should do "engine analysis" what makes an engine and why it is played. As sometimes these decks are several archetypes who merge together.
Nice video. I hate when people say let's duel I'm testing my deck and I'm like sure let's play. *Dude making his insane combo to fill the board with big monster* Me: Stop, Ash to your card Dude: shit, let's start again. Like fuck, they want to go to big tournaments and all they do is learning the combos like they saw it on youtube and once you negate something they don't know what else to do.
Try to have multiple ways to get to the same card...if it's possible. Or have multiple play lines depending on what they hit. I know that this is easier said than done for the rogue decks I play...but it works out if you can incorporate it because you'll never really be stopped by an interruption, you know? You'll always end on something somewhat formidable for the opponent to have to deal with. I just feel like this approach can be better than just maining 3 Called By the Grave because there will be times where you don't draw Called By the Grave and you'll need other countermeasures to compensate for the lack of its presence in your hand.
@@danielsash2079 I feel like Ogre could be the most impactful against your deck, but at the same time, I could be completely wrong. Gotta learn the interactions and key points to dismantle the strategy. Perhaps there's a key point earlier in the combo that needs to go uninterrupted for the FTK to be successful. Or perhaps it loses to itself due to inconsistencies. A duel could do wonders for helping me understand, but I don't know if it's worth sinking time into... ...but knowledge is power, especially for rogue players. Perhaps it's been documented in video form. I'll get back to you once I understand more about it...instead of insulting my intelligence with mere stabs in the dark.

3. Understand the cards without having to read em and think about responses
Huh, weird. I was actually going to playtest tonight. Locals tomorrow!
could explain the math behind the cards. I need a better explanation of how this works and figuring it out.
This video a day before la regionals? Perfect timing!
If u starting a day before its too late
@@OGBanditGaming What about a week before then? (My first* regionals is next weekend)
Edit: added "first"
One of the most useful videos for competitive yugioh
So...Yugioh has made math cool again?
And that somehow was the reason why I played Gravekeeper's during the Gouki format
Gouki couldn't use rematch, couldn't stand against some floodgates, as such, activating rivalry after they summoned a. Knightmare monster, etc, etc
Also many of the decks during that format get really wiped out if they didn't had access to their GYs, and such
Still thinking on a way to add nat beast to orcust combo nowadays tho
You cannot ever add Naturia Beast to Orcust combo (not wrong to try but I think that's impossible) since after summoning Orcust and use its effect, you can only summon Dark monster
Also nat beast need earth monster
Or just cheat it with Waking the Dragon (not a bad idea tho), hope you opp destroys it
Nat Beast is impossible, what you can do, is incorporate more lvl 4 to acess a rank 4 toolbox, so you can do a Dweller before the Orcust Combo.
A hypergeometric calculator isn't all that convincing when shuffling your deck irl is involved
But reste is legit.
Especially playing against top tier to see how well your deck perform against them.
how does shuffling your deck affect using the calculator?
@@SketchyHat after each duel whereither or not you forget to make sure to shuffle your deck in a way that you won't see the cards you played during your previous duel again.make this matters.
Because this can makes you end up opening with 3 copy of the same cards
@@drearydoll6305 that still doesn't affect using the calculator. all the calculator tells you is the chances of a card or a groups of cards appearing in your hand. shuffling doesn't affect your chances of opening a certain card unless you're stacking
@@SketchyHat i mean stacking can easily happen between matches. Not everyone shuffle their decks the same way after all
@@drearydoll6305 stacking isn't shuffling. its just cheating. so if you're saying that the calculator won't work if you're planning on stacking, then yea i guess you're right but then you're just missing the point of why you should use the calculator
i know how to calculate probabilities but i struggle using the calculator
Cimo always delivering the quality vidoes
lol my friend don’t like me using Borrelsword atk steal effect because of math attack(divide + add). he said calculating such a pain in the butt 😂
me and my friend duel for fun, never been in Locals before.
Can you make a video about how to use hypergeometric calculators? Because I didn't know they existed before you said it in this video and I'm trying to figure out ratios and stuff for how to build a DM Chaos hybrid deck and I feel like I'm the only one doing it and it would be helpful to make it as efficient as possible. I really am having a hard time perfecting it because I don't know every card in existence and there may be a card that'll help it that I don't know about. I recently acquired a sphere mode so that'll help my deck a lot
I'm sorry but no math can save you from the chaos gods of probability, I wish we could fight them, I really do...
... ....... ....
Excellent video, I really found this helpful. Please continue offering how to guides
Am I the only one doing the probabilities in my head lol and I started with dark world and gold sarcophagi and boosters put in. Don't need to read my cards anymore unless very obscure. First build going first with 5 cards 2-3 options at least and can deal with link summon effects using spells needed to get my cards into the graveyard by force or no space to summon and only 2 semi/limited
Plan on getting the deck banned by punching through 3000 and more attack monsters with ease tragoedia will recognized as more broken than slifer when I'm through but heavy spell count and invincible monsters using belial
Back in February I jumped back in to the game after 13yrs and have discovered that there are no online groups in my area and the closest locals is an hour away from my home. could I just not be looking the wrong way for these chances to test? Also I am struggling to find a good reference about game machanics as well. I did play on ygo pro and dueling book but found they same problem of people just droping off any advice?
When your only opponent's both play block dragon.dek
Cimo are you going to YCS Niagra falls?
Awesome insight thank you so much for the pro tips 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hey, I was wondering if Dark Magician Endymion would work well.
It's a good concept but it hurts when the opponent stops you mid turn or they pop your eternal soul and you have nothing left
Just play pure Endymion
How would I change this up if I was play testing duel links?
Very good advise. Even people like me can still use tips like this
My friend and I practice on nexus together, we play test decks we see at our locals
This was a great video man, good stuff
pretty damn good video honestly
thank you so much for these videos cimo, really helps me in becoming a better duelist 👍😉
Play test i go ygo pro is automatic chain but i will get hang of effects and chaining
then go dueling book to finish touches
Note get friend is faster with meta deck
Buying the cards is next tcgplayer is my go to or ebay depends on price
You can choose to untick automatic chain so you can order the chain the way you want
Play a deck that wants to go second so you can almost always break through those ones that want to go first. Ez life.
Could you make a spyral deck profile ? Its been a long time since you last updated your deck
I swear to god this guys move his hands the same way every video , I wish he would do a video without moving his hands
???
Android stuff
Even with Kaijuus, you would have to be super lucky to out your opponent's board if they build a negation board when going 2nd. The type of deck you play doesn't matter whether it is meta or otherwise because your opponent won't let you play. The game has gotten way too toxic because Konami doesn't care about game balance and keeps printing negation cards.
This maybe an odd comment. But I dip in and out of playing. Perhaps you should do "engine analysis" what makes an engine and why it is played. As sometimes these decks are several archetypes who merge together.
Bro you always help me become such a better player thanks for the help and giving your time hope to play against you one day
Responsibilities? What does that card do?
Me i play test against all my decks to see what areas the deck is strong against.
Sometimes when i play test going second. ill roll a dice adn whatever it lands on is how many neg my "opp" has on board :)
So you’re saying my Kuriboh Krawler control build isn’t gonna top a YCS ? I mean I won 2 games the other day on YGOpro...
also write down your mistakes that are pointed out to u by the group of friends so u can also learn from your mistakes
I want more videos like this
Can you do something like a $50 rokket deck video
One problem I see is people won't make compromise with bias.
But what if your playing meta decks on ygopro? That means your casually playing competitively.
I was worried that answer would be friendship.
I play test by playing against myself with two of my favorite tier 3 decks. Usually Heros, Blue Eyes Chaos Max, Buster Blader, and Neckroz.😁
Wow that sounds like great preparation!
@@nova7747 Thanks! I thought so too! 😂
No Afilliet Calculator?
Nice video. I hate when people say let's duel I'm testing my deck and I'm like sure let's play.
*Dude making his insane combo to fill the board with big monster*
Me: Stop, Ash to your card
Dude: shit, let's start again.
Like fuck, they want to go to big tournaments and all they do is learning the combos like they saw it on youtube and once you negate something they don't know what else to do.
Cimooo are you planning on going to ycs forth worth on oct 5-6?
One Gaming Effect I’ll be there!
Thanks cimooo your a big help man 😁✌️
All my table 500 krawler players rise up!
Kyle Innes lol what about worms. 🐛🐛🐛
Another tip: plan out what your ideal opening hand is. If the ideal hand is not that great, your deck is probably trash.
im taking geometry in high school rn
Practicing in time!!!
Really hard for step 3 if you are playing rouge I play alot of cards that bait out but every match they hit something different
Try to have multiple ways to get to the same card...if it's possible. Or have multiple play lines depending on what they hit.
I know that this is easier said than done for the rogue decks I play...but it works out if you can incorporate it because you'll never really be stopped by an interruption, you know? You'll always end on something somewhat formidable for the opponent to have to deal with.
I just feel like this approach can be better than just maining 3 Called By the Grave because there will be times where you don't draw Called By the Grave and you'll need other countermeasures to compensate for the lack of its presence in your hand.
@@neverendinchaos4800 I play gem knight ftk and have so many cards that ppl will negate on how I play it
@@danielsash2079 All I can think of would be using Ghost Ogre on Master Diamond.
Edit: Would that even impact your plays?
@@neverendinchaos4800 no it wouldn't due to block dragon protecting it and can b reiccured
@@danielsash2079 I feel like Ogre could be the most impactful against your deck, but at the same time, I could be completely wrong. Gotta learn the interactions and key points to dismantle the strategy. Perhaps there's a key point earlier in the combo that needs to go uninterrupted for the FTK to be successful. Or perhaps it loses to itself due to inconsistencies. A duel could do wonders for helping me understand, but I don't know if it's worth sinking time into...
...but knowledge is power, especially for rogue players. Perhaps it's been documented in video form. I'll get back to you once I understand more about it...instead of insulting my intelligence with mere stabs in the dark.
There is a good app called yugipedia and you can playtest if you have two devices easily(i watched a old team aps video)
You can get it both on ios and android
how it works how I'am supposing to understand
Numbers?! I just need to believe in the hear of the cards 😎
I got a regional tomorrow. This would have been nice a few weeks ago 😂
My regionals is next weekend...do you think I have time to optimally prepare? Mind you, this will be my first regionals...
@@neverendinchaos4800 I think so depending on your schedule lol. If you know your matchups already though you'll be ahead of the curve.
Excellent video!!!!!!
Bro u roasting the best deck:KRAWLERS
So... the first part is basically yugioh.party
Lol I just do it with a normal calcular😂
