@@Miguelvillaloboss In TCG Link Kuriboh just got banned. It provided snake eyes (a hyper consistent and recursive deck of level 1 pyros that spam a whole of material for link plays) way too much both for extension and defensively because its tag in effect allowed dodging targeted effects like Imperm and effect veiler. Not to mention it also provided battle protection for stuff like Appolusa (not once per turn monster negate link 4 which traded attack for negates so the common way to deal with it was to run over it in battle which Link Kuriboh prevented)
Avermax you mean. Nightmare Unicorn have nothing compared to I:P with Avermax. An absolute boss killer that can't be destroyed by card effects because I:P, can't be targeted by card effects, and can't attack anything but Avermax.

I was here for the introduction of all these summoning mechanics, I remember Synchros being the end of yugioh and no one in their right mind would play them. Then Xyz were going to end the game and no one in their right mind would play them, then pendulum, and link. LOL Now I feel old.
Except with links everyone had to play them because konami had the bright idea to make MR4 cripple every extra deck mechanic by making it so you could only summon multiple extra deck monsters by summoning a link monster first.
My first hiatus was from pre-synchro basically until xyzs were released. So I had the pleasure of learning them both at roughly the same time just to play a deck that was viable to even what my friends were playing at the time lol. My next hiatus basically started when pendulums released and I came back sometime in mr4, thus learning links and hand traps dominated the game lol. So I didn't really see every mechanic hit the game, but I've been around since we the first true xyz...blue eyes ultimate dragon. Cause we were definitely overlaying 3 blue eyes before they printed a fusion card 😂
very cool video! loved the collabs! a minor correction, triple tactics hand effect was not confiscation (which discards the card to the GY), but actually the forceful sentry, which shuffles the card chosen back into the deck. good stuff regardless tho!
S:P makes I:P extremely good and a staple in a lot of competitive decks, because I:P lets you link off it and another monster during your opponent's turn for S:P, which then allows you essentially 2 disruptions during your opponent's turn.
Never have I thought formula synchron in the form of a link Monster be such a menace, especially instead of drawing a card that has a different clause instead
I love I:P and S:P. Super cute lore and in my opinion great card design. I know a lot of people want I:P banned, and I can see why, but to me if I:P is doing something toxic it's not I:P that's the problem, it's the toxic card she can summon. I don't think I:P into S:P is toxic in terms of game play, but it is toxic in terms of price tag. Reprint, don't ban!
@@strangevol5264 You can easily just chain IP to any destruction effect though? And the card that it brings out has destruction immunity for no reason.

monster reborn is there since the first duel in the og manga before even tribute summoning was introduced rituals are there since the 1st year of the game
@@leviathan5207 Chaos was not normalized. It was a bomb that had heavy requirements, and you had to build your deck around reaching the requirements to summoning it. CyDra could be thrown into any decks, and was just summoned for free on t2 just like that.
@@some2043 Rituals weren't good for like 10 years after their release Monster reborn was a 1 of that required a good target to already be in the graveyard Neither "normalized" the mechanic
I agree. Special summon was still "special" and required your decks theme to be based around it, most of the time. Especially for ritual summon or fusion summon. Cyber dragon introduced easily summoning a decent attack monster. Hero themed decks (and cards) introduction also signified a great change in yugioh. All of this started chain reaction of having to introduce more powerful spells and traps to deal with these monsters. I remember sakretsu armor being so strong early days to becoming obsolete because then every card in existence could destroy a monster and much more lol.
Ill never forget the win-a-mat finals I played vs Dinomorpia with Danger Tear. Game 3, I had the IP/Elf setup to zeroboros them and thought I had it in the bag until the opponent went Lava Golem+set 5. I was so sick LOL Great video! I love little essays like this :)
Funny you say that as I’ve always felt that I:p(and even chiyomaru) could easily be from a hoyo game like HSR or HI:3rd. The art style is very similar imo.
Awesome video Solemn, thanks!! It's crystal clear it took you a lot of time and effort (script, material from other sources, merging, edition, etc) but the result is amazing!!

I really really enjoy these cars history videos. Especially when it's something relatively modern but you make it really detailed and interesting despite the "history" being relatively limited. I love these videos. Keep it up solemn. I'm all here for it.
I play Kuriboh Brothers (among others) and I:P is basically the lynchpin of my entire strategy. Always fun to face a Labrynth user only for them to go up against the wall that is Avramax with I:P as material. You want to use Transaction Rollback? Okay, but I get to waste the next 20-30 minutes of your day until you figure out some way to remove it. Once managed to deck out my opponent the hard way doing this. 18 turns and like 2 hours later. Suprised they didn't just surrender...
I'm curious about what the next summoning mechanics would be. Normal, Flip, Tribute, Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, XZY, Pendulum, and now Link summon. I guess we're now missing is quick sommon. A way to get other monsters out on the feild faster then the other mechanics.
Dpe works with almost any deck that doesn’t lock you into certain archetypes or elements. Since almost every relevant deck special summons their asses off it’s too easy to just have 2 hero’s you probably won’t draw and just verte at the end to bring dpe out for free basically.
i dont think the generic boss monsters are the problem so much as there isnt enough ways to punish the opponent for using monster effects during your turn. triple tac and divinecarnate do this part really well and i wish there were more cards like them.
How is pendulum so complicated? Like you get multiple monsters out on the field in one go unless the pendulum monster was in the extra deck it basically summon monster with level between 1-8 which you get 2-3-4-5-6-7 levels out which help you get out synchros or xyz or hell fusion monster out quicker
@@Y4ZYAZit really not that complicated if they hit the field without interference and was destroy they go the extra deck if they didn’t hit the field they go to the Gy and unless they were fusied or XYZ summon with since they aren’t pendulums scales aren’t that complicated either since a lot of them don’t change their scale unless they work with another one of their arctype
@@crimsonflareumbreon1290 it becomes complicated whether they are considered monsters or spell cards when interacting/jumping/leaving/returning from the field and other already complicated cards effects.

@@crimsonflareumbreon1290 they are tricky and can get people confused even referee can't decide correctly sometimes when they're interacting with bouncing effects or when mandatory effects take place, there's a reason people don't play them.

As much shit pendulums get I will say that link summoning is by far worse than anything pendulum could've done especially with how powerful most of them are.
Watch Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS you will appreciate Link summoning. I too used to hate Links but watching the anime 2 years later, I started loving Links and found out about I:P in Master Duel who reminds me of Formula Synchron. Now about Pendulum summon, actually they're FAR more busted than Links. Pendulums were so powerful that Konami had to include a new Master Rule were you can only summon 1 from your extra deck than many depending on how many link arrows points you have facing the monster zones. Pendulums at full power rival Tearlaments at full power. Links are just extenders for pendulums (mostly)
The fact that they reverted MR4 or whatever it’s called proves they only released links to make everyone buy them and killed a lot of rogue fusion/synchro heavy decks in the process. I was very sad when my synchro Karakuri deck wasn’t playable anymore.
@@hecatrice2064 i know that feeling! I took a break from the game under MR4! MR4 did not slow down the game, it made it even faster. Look like grinder spyral, and tell me that was fair
@@maple1234567890321 Yep, that's the exact time I quit the game...I've quit and come back a couple of times, but after Links in around 2017, I never returned to the TCG. Only played DL and MR while keeping an eye on the tcg to see what's going on..
A few nitpicks on the video I disagree that its a good thing Chiyomaru is not a S force support card We already have an abundance of powerful Link Monsters that are generic af And S Force is already forgotten enough as it stands, having another Good link monster beyond Justify, would have lead people to test it out at least more. Tho This is more of my opinion ofc and im not even disagreeing with you the video uploader self, just my thoughts Also TTT doesnt mimic confiscation, it does Forceful sentry And the title of the video is misleading as it ends with the fall and not like in your video the rise, the fall and rise again However otherwise a well made and reasearched video!
She's like pot of greed. it's effect is not that good on it's own. but combined with a right deck.... it will be lethal. but the problem is not pot of greed...
@@benoitbrown9400 Veiler too. One of the most famous and best handtraps in the game, played by Kaiba: one of the two poster boys of "Old School Yugioh". This dude shows the typical nostalgica-idiocy mixed with no knowledge of the actual game.
Nah, i hope links will be the last one. We need a new main deck one instead (like how pendulum was kind of a hybrid of the 2). But not maximum summon either. I kinda hope we stop getting more card types at this point
Use fateful hour to revive I:p after making a link-3 or 4 and you can use it to interrupt your opponent by summoning a huge link monster depending on spare bodies you control.
It was. I was literally running it at that euwcq, and so were the players who are much better than I am. It was only later people started doing the curious-gryphon lines Kotton used.
@@solemnyugioh I went back to 2019 orcust deck profiles and I did see it in some peoples extra decks. I always felt Zeroboros was superior to bomber dragon. I guess it’s better than zeroboros vs t dragon.
18:57 SHE IS EVERYWHERE IN MASTER DUEL AND I HATE IT she is my arch nemesis she destroys cards and negates effects it’s so annoying and I want her BANNED
I honestly believe that i:p and s:p should stay in the game to give every deck the option to use it. Its generic af but if everyone has finally access to s:p everybody wouldnt mind that interaction bc using s:p is a skill expredsion that i enjoy it alot
There were a lot broken aspects to yugioh prior pendulum and link monsters, but i think those two mechanics completely destroyed the game. Generic links in particular are extremely unhealthy for the game regardless of how cool the artwork may be.
so you're saying the only reason I:P has ever not been one of the best cards in the game, just very very strong, were the times when cards THAT ARE CURRENTLY BANNED were running rampant? crazy. Almost like I:P should be on that list too.
Such a ridiculously banworthy card, on par with the worst banlist offenders, yet allowed to roam free 🤷🏻♂️ turning going second cards into first player interaction is unexcusable. Not to mention allowing degeneracy without cost. Like for Snake-Eye for example it makes it so the player doesn't have to choose between using Flamberge's effect on the opponent's turn or using it for an Apollousa now, the player can have both! It's absurd!
Snake eyes aka the- This is a fun deck but it’s too expensive so most of us have run degenerate stun decks just to have a fair chance. Wouldn’t be surprised if at some point local tournaments start using their own ban lists because I don’t think anyone wants to play a format where if your too poor the only decks worth playing are stun decks.
With I:P being able to summon so many powerful boss monsters, the most recent banlist got rid of the worst offender of them all: Linkuriboh.
I'm urged to tell you that I:P cannot summon Linkuriboh
But you probably know that and all of this was just a joke
I mean just because IP is broken, doesn't mean that Linkuribog isn't also broken lol. Both deserve to be hit 😅
The most annoying always used to be I:P into avramax, then it just kept getting worse

And the title of the video is misleading as it ends with the fall and not like in your video the rise, the fall and rise again
However otherwise a well made and reasearched video!
I know another thing that rises from IP masquerena
So what I’m hearing is that we should ban I:P
Most people hate generic ED monsters and yet, I wouldn't be surprised to see Rena in a "Top 10 YGO cards with no haters" video😂
Oh my god yes i love IP : masqareena, i would die for IP : masqareena, this card has changed my life, It IS the BEST card ever. Bad chest
if apo gets banned ip will take its place
IP Masquerena makes _everyone_ "rise".
Brother you said fall?
She's like pot of greed. it's effect is not that good on it's own.
but combined with a right deck.... it will be lethal.
but the problem is not pot of greed...
You mean a better example is Formula Synchron. I:P is the Accel power of Link climbing into a boss monster on your opponents turn.
Old school yugioh ending when hand traps and the word I set 3 or 4 and pass or the most famous line you activated MY TRAP CARD era
@@benoitbrown9400 Veiler too. One of the most famous and best handtraps in the game, played by Kaiba: one of the two poster boys of "Old School Yugioh". This dude shows the typical nostalgica-idiocy mixed with no knowledge of the actual game.
What kind of _passionate duelist_ remix is in the video ?
What fall? I:P is still crazy and still sees play.
Thats just the problem, it sees TOO MUCH play, therefore it'll probably get banned in the future by konami
@@tonypalladino9305 of course it will see play, it is a great card. Nobody wants to play rubbish.
@@chimeratcg07
Did you read the part where he said "TOO MUCH"?
And SOMEHOW synchros continue to break the game
The next mechanic will be “spells and traps” you access from the extra deck.
Nah, i hope links will be the last one. We need a new main deck one instead (like how pendulum was kind of a hybrid of the 2). But not maximum summon either. I kinda hope we stop getting more card types at this point
@@undeadinside3571 I hope we do too lol this is just my prediction
The concept of half spell/monster or trap/monster is really cool, but pendulum has ruined the chances of it ever becoming a thing.
I summoned fan service trap card.
legend
Ahh yes, Orcust's true boss monster.
link summoning by itself is good
the best era was at the xyz era. nothing too crazy , fun and interactive . With the pendulum and link coming in play, it became modern warfare
I:p plus Fateful hour = Do you want to have a bad time?
Use fateful hour to revive I:p after making a link-3 or 4 and you can use it to interrupt your opponent by summoning a huge link monster depending on spare bodies you control.
She fell?
I must be playing a different game.
I don’t think topologic bomber dragon was as played as this video makes it seem
It was. I was literally running it at that euwcq, and so were the players who are much better than I am. It was only later people started doing the curious-gryphon lines Kotton used.
@@solemnyugioh I went back to 2019 orcust deck profiles and I did see it in some peoples extra decks. I always felt Zeroboros was superior to bomber dragon. I guess it’s better than zeroboros vs t dragon.
Motorcycle Waifu will not be forgotten in vain
Great Video. I Need more of this
NOW 😢
Good stuff my dude.
Holy christ the beat goes hard
Banger video
18:57 SHE IS EVERYWHERE IN MASTER DUEL AND I HATE IT she is my arch nemesis she destroys cards and negates effects it’s so annoying and I want her BANNED
Could she work in a dark world burning abyss deck ?
Returning player here.. Would i be able to use Bystial with orcusts?
I honestly believe that i:p and s:p should stay in the game to give every deck the option to use it. Its generic af but if everyone has finally access to s:p everybody wouldnt mind that interaction bc using s:p is a skill expredsion that i enjoy it alot
Words of the common link summon spammer of the community
Well now imma run I:P >_>
only commenting for the algorythm! great vid m8!
I'd be the guy who prints the card on a computer and stuff it into a sleeve I'm new to yugioh I'll be trying new things here 😅
There were a lot broken aspects to yugioh prior pendulum and link monsters, but i think those two mechanics completely destroyed the game. Generic links in particular are extremely unhealthy for the game regardless of how cool the artwork may be.
Why Links? Pendulums weren't even that good...
so you're saying the only reason I:P has ever not been one of the best cards in the game, just very very strong, were the times when cards THAT ARE CURRENTLY BANNED were running rampant? crazy. Almost like I:P should be on that list too.
Such a ridiculously banworthy card, on par with the worst banlist offenders, yet allowed to roam free 🤷🏻♂️ turning going second cards into first player interaction is unexcusable. Not to mention allowing degeneracy without cost. Like for Snake-Eye for example it makes it so the player doesn't have to choose between using Flamberge's effect on the opponent's turn or using it for an Apollousa now, the player can have both! It's absurd!
wait, where do I find IP masquerena figures? are they official or fan made stls?
Snake eyes aka the- This is a fun deck but it’s too expensive so most of us have run degenerate stun decks just to have a fair chance.
Wouldn’t be surprised if at some point local tournaments start using their own ban lists because I don’t think anyone wants to play a format where if your too poor the only decks worth playing are stun decks.
This is already happening
@@lambtoken2708 Wait really?
Can you give me an example?
