"Screw the rules I have money" - is a term often used to mean your opponent is crazy rich and you can't beat them because you're a 3rd rate duelist with a 4th rate deck.
+Castell It misses timing when: 1. Tributed for a Tribute Summon. 2. Tributed for a Ritual Summon. 3. Tributed as a cost. 4. Tributed or otherwise sent to the Graveyard for an inherit Special Summon. 5. Used as Fusion Material. 6. Used as Synchro Material. 7. Used as Link Material. 8. Destroyed, Tributed, or otherwise sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, which then has another effect preceded by "then" e.g. Soul Taker. ( in fact, Soul Taker was meta exactly _because_ it causes cards to miss timing ). 9. Destroyed, Tributed, or otherwise sent to the Graveyard _by anything_ as part of a Chain Link 2 or higher effect. Essentially, missing the timing is consistent, if something that requires research: if a non-mandatory effect's condition starts with "when," then it can miss timing, and it will always do so if the condition is met at any time besides just before when the opportunity to start a new Chain. This is the distinction between "then" and "and" in effect text; when action 1 "and" / "and if you do," action 2 are done, then a player can activate a "when" effect in response to either. But if action 1 "then" action 2 are done, then a player can only activate a "when" effect in response to action 2. Any type of inherit summon as well as the standard card text for Fusion and Ritual Summon act similarly to "then," so you can't activate any "when" effects to anything but the summon itself, no matter what's done to make it happen. Mind, this is just for _non-mandatory "when"_ effects, and mandatory "when" as well as non-mandatory "if" effects will activate in these situations without fail. But in one of their few wise moves, Konami have stopped printing mandatory effects with "when," as there's no distinction being mandatory "when" and mandatory "if."
Duncan : someone who plays 2 copies instead of 3 (what would raise the consistency) but still is the best infernity player . Because its fine if you draw it but if you dont draw it its also fine
he means in terms of words a towers (makes since to call it that) is a card that has immunity to multiple card ie towers back in the old day or more recent i say master peace could be considered a towers style monster
Cold Springs all cards have some sort of out, towers is just kinda the universal term for stuff like towers, master peace, etc that usually have some sort of targeting and/or destruction immunity
Cold Springs Cerberus can’t out tower. It can only destroy special summoned monsters, unless there’s some qli card that ignores towers conditions (I don’t know much about qli)
Corrections: - "Auto-win" can also refer to win conditions other than reducing your opponent's life points to 0, such as Exodia or Destiny Board. - "Engine" can also refer to a small proportion of cards from a different archetype being added to the deck to give it more power or consistency. - OCG stands for official card game not original card game. - "Rogue" is not a deck that sees "little to no play", it is a deck that has an unexpected representation in a tournament. - "Stun" is a derivative of the fact that Stun strategies are usually employed in anti-meta decks, and will often literally stun players and stop them in their tracks. - "TCG" was not explained fully: it represents the western version of the game which differs to the OCG in terms of cards available, banlists, and even some rulings. Countries following the TCG are: All of South America, Central America, North America, Europe, Africa, Israel, Australia, and New Zealand. - "Win condition" is not a random occurrence as it may be interpreted from the phrasing in the video, it instead refers to a deck's usual play to help them win the game, for example, summoning Apoqliphort Towers in its relevant format in summer 2015.
Just to add to this: - "Win-more" cards are cards that can only be fully taken advantage of when you're already in a winning game-state, and typically offer little to no value if you aren't. I personally found the way he tried to explain it to be rather confusing.
@@MePlusToo a rota and a stratos are different because a rota is typically a searcher with no particular cost( typically a spell) and a stratos is a monster that need to be normal summonned to search eg: stratos/ traptrix mantis/evil eye serziel/ alister the invoker/ oviraptor
Hey Cimo, if you're ever struggling to think of Yu-Gi-Oh! content, I think that, since you've been playing the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG for such a long time, a series on cards that used to be good or an analysis on past metas might be interesting, as a history lesson for newer players and a retrospective for us older players. I wouldn't trust most Yugitubers to be able to make good content out of this, but I have no doubt you'd be able to make it both insightful and engaging. I personally would love to see something like this! P.S. Thanks for all the wonderful content you already bring us on a regular basis!
Anthony Catton I have, but IMO, Cimo is the best Yugituber and I'd love to see his take on it. Also, just because one person has already done it doesn't mean it's now off-limits.
Dzeeff: 10 Terms that are important: fails to explain bricking and milling Cimoooooooo: 100 terms, gets everything right in just about the same timeframe
In order to get rid of the "clicking" noise while reading a script, make sure to keep hydrated while recording. So have a water bottle nearby and regularly drink from it or something similar.
A few I noticed you missed: Draw Power: Cards that either deck thin or allow extra drawing. Lock: Any set of cards that stop an opponent dead in their tracks and force them to pass turns with no progression. Scapegoat: Refers to the card by the same name, but any card or effect that generates useless monsters for blocking/stalling. Beater/Beatstick: Monsters with a lot of attack but nothing else of value. Stratos: Refers to Elemental Hero Stratos, any card that searches and is also a monster that you can summon. Alternative: Any card that is played in place of a better card, but is far cheaper, such as Pot of Desires instead of Extravagence, or Effect Veiler instead of Infinite Impermanence. Misplay/Blunder: Not making the optimal play or doing something that results in a weaker game state or less advantage. Broken Gamestate: When you make a move or play a card that causes an instant loss due to there being no way to undo the actions that took place. Beatdown: A deck style that mostly works through dealing large amounts of damage with no protection or with little to no effects influencing the game. Can also refer to a certain combo that's typically unsafe but can deal huge amounts of damage. Disruption: A card or effect that causes the opponent to stop or change their plays to a less optimal strategy or an unfinished combo. Recycle: Cards that add themselves back or come back to the field/deck. Alternative Condition/Alt Win Con: A variation of your deck or strategy that can be employed when needed but isn't the normal win condition of your deck, such as a card effect win condition, or a not so typical combo. Yoink: Any card that lets you use an opponent's card or card effect. Wipe or Field/Board Wipe: Same as what you called Nuke. Power Play: Any card or combo that is good on it's own but is even more powerful against certain decks or can be better in the right situation. Usually dependent on the opponent making a bad move or using a card/deck that has a negative effect against your card/cards. Hard Counter: Refers to deck match-ups, if a deck is a "Hard Counter" to another deck, then that means it has a major advantage over that deck in particular even if against others it fairs no different. Check: Decks that hard counter each other depending on the situation/timing, where the one that is successful first is typically the winner. Force: Cards or effects that cause the opponent to make a play they didn't want to make or activate/summon cards out of their control. Zero: Refers to any time you put a part of a player's board/field to 0 cards, such as banishing their graveyard, shuffling their graveyard into their deck, banishing their entire extra deck, the opponent losing their hand, or milling the opponent's deck into the graveyard. Drop: Forcing the opponent to lose cards out of their hand. Also used when referring to dropping a monster or card that normally has a difficult activation/summoning condition but in the situation becomes easier or is previously setup. Board Breaker: A card that gets through a difficult field set up by the opponent. Negater: A card or monster that can negate something common in the game or a wide variety of cards/effects. Bait or Baiting: Any action that you do to cause the opponent to make the wrong move or misplay. Free: Has multiple meanings, sometimes refers to cards that go neutral in advantage, as in they get a card back even when lost. Or can also refer to cards that become easy to use in a certain situation. As an example, there are many combos in Mermails that allow you to special summon Moulinglacia the Elemental Lord, who normally has a difficult summoning condition, for free, due to the happenings in the combo.
Replay: a situation where the number of monsters on the field changes during an attack declaration. The attacking player has the option to continue/redirect the attack, attack with a different monster, or move to the next phase.
U-Link/U-Board: to create an Extra Link that prevents your opponent from summoning from the Extra Deck by summoning co-linked monsters in the shape of a "U"
I was very confused You didnt Mention "Stratos" : a Monster that when summoned (mostly normal summoned for Turn) searches an archetypal Card from the Deck to The hand. Also think "Tower" wouldve Been Worth explaining: a "Boss Monster" that is either unnafacted by Card effects or Generally very hard to remove.
MifBif No, T-Set is an extremely common term from back in the days of Goat Format, where it was the most common and often most optimal move to play going first, since overextending on backrow left you open to having it destroyed quite early, potentially costing you the game. It's effectively an obselete term considering how rarely it appears in modern YuGiOh, but for people who still play Goat Format, it is very much a real term.
Stratos isn't a common effect. It is just a card. Search, and MST already cover stratos' abilities. What your saying is something like pachycephalo should be a term even though *vanity's* already exist. If they're is another card that allows you to mst and search, i don't know it. Slip rider MSTs and specials. I think you should see what i mean.
You forgot the most important term. "MST" A reference to a quick play spell card that has the power to negate AND destroy any spell and trap card. Haters will say it doesn't negate.
I feel like some of these could have been explained in greater detail (especially the difference between the OCG and TCG), but overall this is fantastic.
I know some of these terms started with MTG, such as tutor and mill being references to demonic tutor and millstone, but I wasnt aware just how much overlap there is for the 2 games.
Off topic, but I got to finally feel the wrath of the new time rules and had my first draw at locals. Edit: If anyone is curious, it was my first time playing U.A.s, dominated game 1, didn't know they had a version of Armedes, got knocked to 800 LP, time got called.
i just used your video in my Linguistics Anthropology college assignment, to convey how full ideas or situations can be represented through words known only within community's. Thank you
As a Magic player trying out Yu-Gi-Oh it's nice that there's some terms shared by both games, but also interesting that there are some cases where the lingo is different
Another great video! One day you should talk about archetypes that could have their own Structure Deck with new support and reprints, like Six Samurai long ago. I can name quite a few: Wind-ups Firefist Satelletknights Constellars/Evilswarm (Practically starter decks) Inzectors Blackwings(least likely) Also, maybe a video about Starter decks vs Structure decks(different purposes and effects on the game)
does "pot" count? a card who's effect results in the player who activated it, drawing a card or cards from their deck. this is typically a spell or trap card
I think that people would say „POG“ instead of just „pot“. I certainly do at least. Shard of Greed (SOG) is similar. One of the permanent spells of the Six Samurai, for example, is similar to SOG.
Forge, a deck built properly with great thought and perfected by time and knowledge of the game. Tempest, to remove cards from both the deck and graveyard. "Level Up"/"Rank Up", to bring a stronger monster by using Level Up or Rank Up cards.
As an OG player, who recently got back into the game a few years ago. I had a hard understanding some of the terms players use nowadays. Thank you for this video!
Well, this helps my "Yugioh Gaming Terms" facebook album a lot for my YGO FB Page, thanks Alex. Really appreciated! This will help a lot of yugioh spanish speaking players to keep up with the terms used in this game and learn more about it
idk if all uses it, but where i play, we usually use the term "foolish" or "foolish burial" to a card that send a card from the deck to te GY other is mill,send 1 or more cards from the top deck to the GY
As a Magic player, I have enjoyed watching a lot of your videos (starting with the What If YGO Had Magic Cards). You earned a subscription from me today, because a lot of these terms can be used in Magic as well. Thank you so much for having a great channel!
And a rogue deck is usually not present in the competitive scene, but ocassionally takes a lot of games by surprise or ignorance on the opponents part and tops a tournament
One of the best videos that you ever did on this channel. I'm glad that you had this idea, because I didn't know the meaning of a plenty of those terms and this video will be very helpfull to me. Thanks, my man. Greatings from Brazil!
I knew most of the terminology in the video but it good to know more. I feel dumbfounded on the new words like i was learning to play MTG all over again.
So like tyrant red dragon archfiend one of its effects is "during your main phase 1 you could destroy all other cards on the field but other monsters you control cant attack" how does that work
the "all linked monsters" effect includes link monsters and all monsters they point to. If a link monster is not pointing to a monster, then it is not linked. The "shuffle the face-down cards in your extra deck" is just a way to randomize what card you draw.
Maybe I'd just change the "LP to 0" bits to a more broad "meets a winning condition" or mention the different win conditions: Deck-out & "You win the Duel" effects. Other than that, this was pretty interesting.
Bobi i think he meant rule shark. Its when your opponent does something improperly but its common sense and you call the judge because of it. For example your opponent forgets to declare battle phase and instantly declares an attack and you call the judge with the intention to get them in trouble even though it didn't really affect you. So its basically trying to get someone in trouble for no reason
I'm confused on what the effects that say "you can only use the effect of (for example) Maiden With Eyes of Blue once per turn and only once that then." Why is that last part there? Can you use the same card on the field multiple times or something?
Also say with maiden you use the effect to negate an attack then summon a blue eyes. But then you can't use her second effect of when a card or effect targets maiden you can summon a blue eyes from hand, deck, or GY. Like I said I could be wrong. I think that's correct though.
really wished some of the cards shown were relevant to the term it's being used for. For example: blue-eyes alternative is not necessarily a beatstick. You summon it, use it's effect, then overlay it. A second example is with the Double Evolution Pill used as an example of rogue. The Dinosaur decks still see lots of competitive play, and is even shown is a lot of recent pie-charts that show the top decks of the format, so I do not see why that is used as the example of a rogue deck, when it very much is still a viable meta deck compared to other real rogue decks.
Chesterzoo7 Aren’t rogue decks just at the « limit » of the meta ? Like they’re used competitively but rarely top anything ? Ask anyone about the current meta, no one’s gonna bring up dinosaurs... So I think it’s a perfect example
you forgot: -stratos: a moster that searches cards from the deck to the hand from his very own specific archetype when hits the field, e.g: candina, oviraptor
So the way "degenerate" is defined here isn't totally inconsistent with the way people use it in Yugioh. But if things are degenerate, then that actually means they present themselves as the same (i.e. they're in the same state). So to say a card or play is degenerate really means it's the same thing in everyone's deck. Generally that implies it's imbalanced and doesn't require any new degree of thought, but it doesn't have to mean that. Otherwise I'm sure a very useful tutorial video for people getting (back) into the game.
So many terms not explained yet.. such as Ignition, Mandatory, Trigger/ Quick eff, Priority, Money card, etc etc.. Hope there will be part 2 and so on..
@Cimoooooooo you forgot to add the term "Master Rule 4" Isn't that term just referring to Link monsters, or just Link Summoning in general? I've noticed that you sometimes use that term, especially during your "Top 100 cards" videos.
This is a very helpful video. My only suggestion is that some of the terms have an example sentence to go with them so I know how they are properly used. Or at least have a general idea.
This is such a great video. It's very to the point, and covers each term concisely, while also explaining them very well. Wonderful video for newcomers, or anyone who is behind on the diverse Yugioh language. Also, I could hear Farga cringe when you said "Inherent" and dpygo's clip when you covered "BURN" 😂 Keep up the great work Cimo
Wow didn’t know some of these terms and ive been playing since 2005 haha Thanks for the post appreciate it. Your yugioh content is always on point. You should turn this into a handbook of sorts
I built a skull servant deck going by a combination of looking at what people run in skull servant and general zombie decks and looking at card options and this guy said “nice google deck” is it a google deck if I used several deck lists to try to find optimal cards?

"Screw the rules I have money" - is a term often used to mean your opponent is crazy rich and you can't beat them because you're a 3rd rate duelist with a 4th rate deck.

"Missing Timing"
Sees Dupe Frog
"That hurts, man."
The best part about locals is in half your matchups, dupe frog doesn't miss timing B)
Illustration for this should have been the entire Yang Zing archetype
The Four Star Gamer Could you explain to me in what situation it misses timing? I'm not very familiar with the term :)
+Castell It misses timing when:
1. Tributed for a Tribute Summon.
2. Tributed for a Ritual Summon.
3. Tributed as a cost.
4. Tributed or otherwise sent to the Graveyard for an inherit Special Summon.
5. Used as Fusion Material.
6. Used as Synchro Material.
7. Used as Link Material.
8. Destroyed, Tributed, or otherwise sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, which then has another effect preceded by "then" e.g. Soul Taker. ( in fact, Soul Taker was meta exactly _because_ it causes cards to miss timing ).
9. Destroyed, Tributed, or otherwise sent to the Graveyard _by anything_ as part of a Chain Link 2 or higher effect.
Essentially, missing the timing is consistent, if something that requires research: if a non-mandatory effect's condition starts with "when," then it can miss timing, and it will always do so if the condition is met at any time besides just before when the opportunity to start a new Chain. This is the distinction between "then" and "and" in effect text; when action 1 "and" / "and if you do," action 2 are done, then a player can activate a "when" effect in response to either. But if action 1 "then" action 2 are done, then a player can only activate a "when" effect in response to action 2. Any type of inherit summon as well as the standard card text for Fusion and Ritual Summon act similarly to "then," so you can't activate any "when" effects to anything but the summon itself, no matter what's done to make it happen.
Mind, this is just for _non-mandatory "when"_ effects, and mandatory "when" as well as non-mandatory "if" effects will activate in these situations without fail. But in one of their few wise moves, Konami have stopped printing mandatory effects with "when," as there's no distinction being mandatory "when" and mandatory "if."

- "Auto-win" can also refer to win conditions other than reducing your opponent's life points to 0, such as Exodia or Destiny Board.
- "Engine" can also refer to a small proportion of cards from a different archetype being added to the deck to give it more power or consistency.

- "Rogue" is not a deck that sees "little to no play", it is a deck that has an unexpected representation in a tournament.
- "Stun" is a derivative of the fact that Stun strategies are usually employed in anti-meta decks, and will often literally stun players and stop them in their tracks.
- "TCG" was not explained fully: it represents the western version of the game which differs to the OCG in terms of cards available, banlists, and even some rulings. Countries following the TCG are: All of South America, Central America, North America, Europe, Africa, Israel, Australia, and New Zealand.
- "Win condition" is not a random occurrence as it may be interpreted from the phrasing in the video, it instead refers to a deck's usual play to help them win the game, for example, summoning Apoqliphort Towers in its relevant format in summer 2015.
Just to add to this:

I personally found the way he tried to explain it to be rather confusing.
Pretty sure you should have included "Stratos" as a term. Maybe included a different card to represent archetype.

Enabler: a card or effect that contributes to an archetype's primary strategy by triggering other card's effects.
You forgot the most important term.
"MST"
A reference to a quick play spell card that has the power to negate AND destroy any spell and trap card. Haters will say it doesn't negate.
I never saw the word judge spelled that way, "hater"
I feel like some of these could have been explained in greater detail (especially the difference between the OCG and TCG), but overall this is fantastic.
The O in OCG stands for Organized!
Of i didnt know any better i would think it was og gangstar hosheningen card game
I would have never come up with such a great idea like yours. A top notch video.
best term: GET REKT SCRUB
rip YUGINONO❤❤❤
Activate Grass.
I know some of these terms started with MTG, such as tutor and mill being references to demonic tutor and millstone, but I wasnt aware just how much overlap there is for the 2 games.
And spin references sensei divining top
Neg, basically minus, but can be used to describe any amount of total cards lost
E.g. Neg 9, the player lost 9 cards, or went minus 9
So Pot of Desires is a neg 9?
I've used sack as sacrifice back when tribute summon was a more prevalent thing
Off topic, but I got to finally feel the wrath of the new time rules and had my first draw at locals.
Edit: If anyone is curious, it was my first time playing U.A.s, dominated game 1, didn't know they had a version of Armedes, got knocked to 800 LP, time got called.
I'm so glad this video was made, always wondered what "x-?" Ment lol
Toon table of contents is the only book on the royal magical library
Cimo's version of back to school.
I often use these terms in other games and have people stare at me like I'm a fucking idiot.
i just used your video in my Linguistics Anthropology college assignment, to convey how full ideas or situations can be represented through words known only within community's. Thank you
"Free my Nigga X"
When X card has no reason to be in the banlist other than to annoy the community.
I remember for the longest I didn't know what errata meant.
As a Magic player trying out Yu-Gi-Oh it's nice that there's some terms shared by both games, but also interesting that there are some cases where the lingo is different
how about dig : reveal a certain amount of card then add certain amount of card from the revealed . EX : duality
Another great video! One day you should talk about archetypes that could have their own Structure Deck with new support and reprints, like Six Samurai long ago. I can name quite a few:
Wind-ups
Firefist
Satelletknights
Constellars/Evilswarm (Practically starter decks)
Inzectors
Blackwings(least likely)
Also, maybe a video about Starter decks vs Structure decks(different purposes and effects on the game)
does "pot" count? a card who's effect results in the player who activated it, drawing a card or cards from their deck. this is typically a spell or trap card
nope pot is a reference of what most player do after winning a event lol :)
I think that people would say „POG“ instead of just „pot“. I certainly do at least. Shard of Greed (SOG) is similar. One of the permanent spells of the Six Samurai, for example, is similar to SOG.
Forge, a deck built properly with great thought and perfected by time and knowledge of the game.
Tempest, to remove cards from both the deck and graveyard.
"Level Up"/"Rank Up", to bring a stronger monster by using Level Up or Rank Up cards.
I thought the title said 10😂
Must have been a long video for you man.
As an OG player, who recently got back into the game a few years ago. I had a hard understanding some of the terms players use nowadays. Thank you for this video!
7:27
"salty" ...awesome card..definitely a must get
Well, this helps my "Yugioh Gaming Terms" facebook album a lot for my YGO FB Page, thanks Alex. Really appreciated!
This will help a lot of yugioh spanish speaking players to keep up with the terms used in this game and learn more about it
Cimoooo: talks about terms and there meanings
Also Cimoooo: jargen
idk if all uses it, but where i play, we usually use the term "foolish" or "foolish burial" to a card that send a card from the deck to te GY
other is mill,send 1 or more cards from the top deck to the GY
I'd say a card has a foolish effect, and when activated it dumps a card
Spyral being noticed several times hyped me up for no reason lol
Great video, but I wish you mentioned that TCG refers to the metagame outside of the OCG
Stratos: when this card is normal summoned, add 1 (insert archetype name here) monster from your deck to hand
Or in denebs case just summoned
Search or MST. Done.
As a Magic player, I have enjoyed watching a lot of your videos (starting with the What If YGO Had Magic Cards).
You earned a subscription from me today, because a lot of these terms can be used in Magic as well.
Thank you so much for having a great channel!
I'd have also added "Kaiju", "Insta-Win" and "Exodia" (even if it isn't too relevant in the competitive scene).
And a rogue deck is usually not present in the competitive scene, but ocassionally takes a lot of games by surprise or ignorance on the opponents part and tops a tournament
cimo using a monarch card for the term brick is just beautiful.
This was a great idea! There are a lot of terms I never heard of until I watched this. Thank you so so much for making this vid.
Blank? Bomb? Board? You were really digging here cimo.
Digging: The act of drawing multiple cards from the top of the deck to acquire certain card(s)
-Garnet
-shows picture of garnet
-Referring to Gem Knight Garnet
One of the best videos that you ever did on this channel. I'm glad that you had this idea, because I didn't know the meaning of a plenty of those terms and this video will be very helpfull to me. Thanks, my man.
Greatings from Brazil!
Baiting: Playing a card or series of cards that has the intent of your opponent playing a specific card in response.
this was extremely helpful, i literally thought hand trap was a strategy to prevent playing cards from the hand.
I knew most of the terminology in the video but it good to know more. I feel dumbfounded on the new words like i was learning to play MTG all over again.
So like tyrant red dragon archfiend one of its effects is "during your main phase 1 you could destroy all other cards on the field but other monsters you control cant attack" how does that work
If you summon monsters after you destroyed all other cards on the field, those monsters cannot attack.
Vincent Zhang okay so what about cynet storm its effect im confused by it can you help me out
the "all linked monsters" effect includes link monsters and all monsters they point to. If a link monster is not pointing to a monster, then it is not linked.
The "shuffle the face-down cards in your extra deck" is just a way to randomize what card you draw.
OTK - One Turn Knockout
God Hand - A opening hand that has all the cards you need to win the duel.
Maybe I'd just change the "LP to 0" bits to a more broad "meets a winning condition" or mention the different win conditions: Deck-out & "You win the Duel" effects.
Other than that, this was pretty interesting.
now that I know what OCG and TCG stand for, I finally understand why there are two separate banlists
Fun Fact: META is an acronym for "Most Effective Tactic Available"
Can someone explain the Shark one please? Really interested whats that about!
Bobi i think he meant rule shark. Its when your opponent does something improperly but its common sense and you call the judge because of it. For example your opponent forgets to declare battle phase and instantly declares an attack and you call the judge with the intention to get them in trouble even though it didn't really affect you. So its basically trying to get someone in trouble for no reason
I love how many of these terms are shared with, or come from, Magic the Gathering, like "tutor".
This was rather interesting, and it made me happy that I knew a lot of those terms. I can most certainly speak Yu-Gi-Oh.
Loved that Ehther was the image for Brick. So. Many. Times has that deck bricked on me
I'm confused on what the effects that say "you can only use the effect of (for example) Maiden With Eyes of Blue once per turn and only once that then." Why is that last part there? Can you use the same card on the field multiple times or something?
I think it refers to a specific effect if the card has multiple effects. I could be wrong though.
Also say with maiden you use the effect to negate an attack then summon a blue eyes. But then you can't use her second effect of when a card or effect targets maiden you can summon a blue eyes from hand, deck, or GY. Like I said I could be wrong. I think that's correct though.
really wished some of the cards shown were relevant to the term it's being used for. For example: blue-eyes alternative is not necessarily a beatstick. You summon it, use it's effect, then overlay it.
A second example is with the Double Evolution Pill used as an example of rogue. The Dinosaur decks still see lots of competitive play, and is even shown is a lot of recent pie-charts that show the top decks of the format, so I do not see why that is used as the example of a rogue deck, when it very much is still a viable meta deck compared to other real rogue decks.
Chesterzoo7 Aren’t rogue decks just at the « limit » of the meta ? Like they’re used competitively but rarely top anything ? Ask anyone about the current meta, no one’s gonna bring up dinosaurs... So I think it’s a perfect example
you forgot:
-stratos: a moster that searches cards from the deck to the hand from his very own specific archetype when hits the field, e.g: candina, oviraptor
OCG actually means "Official Card Game"
Tell cimo it doesnt mean oriental
@@Nick1921945 what's up with your hate boner for cimo? He never said that
Honestly the first video you have to watch to watch any yugioh video
Sack can also mean a number of monsters used for a tribute summon. "Jinzo is a 1 sack".
Dead thought salty was a legit card for a moment LOL 😂😂😂😂😂
You explained the card reference in ROTA and Garnet, but left out explanations in lonefore, book, and "tag," which was Gladiator Beast.
So the way "degenerate" is defined here isn't totally inconsistent with the way people use it in Yugioh. But if things are degenerate, then that actually means they present themselves as the same (i.e. they're in the same state). So to say a card or play is degenerate really means it's the same thing in everyone's deck. Generally that implies it's imbalanced and doesn't require any new degree of thought, but it doesn't have to mean that. Otherwise I'm sure a very useful tutorial video for people getting (back) into the game.
So many terms not explained yet.. such as Ignition, Mandatory, Trigger/ Quick eff, Priority, Money card, etc etc..
Hope there will be part 2 and so on..
@Cimoooooooo you forgot to add the term "Master Rule 4"
Isn't that term just referring to Link monsters, or just Link Summoning in general? I've noticed that you sometimes use that term, especially during your "Top 100 cards" videos.
Always wondered if backrow was a fancy term for spell/trap zone lol
"Destroy a single card on the field"Shows toughSpyral laughing in background
As a magic the gathering player, it's interesting what terms we both use, and terms that means completely different things
mind providing some examples? I have no exposure to Magic
This is a very helpful video. My only suggestion is that some of the terms have an example sentence to go with them so I know how they are properly used. Or at least have a general idea.
At first I thought no way he's really came up with 100 terms. There can't be so many. Then I watched the video and recognized every one of them
2:20 damn cimooooooo,throwing shade at monarchs
This is such a great video. It's very to the point, and covers each term concisely, while also explaining them very well. Wonderful video for newcomers, or anyone who is behind on the diverse Yugioh language.
Also, I could hear Farga cringe when you said "Inherent" and dpygo's clip when you covered "BURN" 😂 Keep up the great work Cimo
he should do a "we dueled only using bujin cards"
Wow didn’t know some of these terms and ive been playing since 2005 haha Thanks for the post appreciate it. Your yugioh content is always on point. You should turn this into a handbook of sorts
I built a skull servant deck going by a combination of looking at what people run in skull servant and general zombie decks and looking at card options and this guy said “nice google deck” is it a google deck if I used several deck lists to try to find optimal cards? (I assume google deck means I googled the deck like researched it with google?)
I believe you forgot “What’re you gonna do now big boy? The duel’s over.”
"Told you I was the master" -is a term when there's no monsters left on the field so you summon Dark Magician and attack directly for game.
