The reason why the Power of the Element video did so well is because... IT'S F***ING POWER OF THE ELEMENT. A set notorious for its jump in power level very simular to sets like invasion of chaos or Duelist Alliance. It is hard to produce any interrest in a set, if it isn't a historicly importent event, that recontextualizes the way we play yugioh. For as long as playing on turn 0 stays mostly unexplored... Tearlament will be ahead of it's time.
I think it's cool that so many of your patrons are among the more popular yugioh content creators on the platform. Puts into perspective how much your videos are in a lot of ways not only the exact thing actual yugioh players want to see and interact with, but what a lot of us would like to be able to make in the first place. Can't speak for everyone, but I appreciate your focus on these long-form and highly produced discussion videos. I hope that the end conclusion here sticks and you keep making things you can feel proud of too. Fuck Power of the Elements dawg, Neos don't even sling dick like that
It can be hard when you feel like you’ve peaked to continue going forward. I’m glad you haven’t let past success be what ruins your future, and I’m always happy to see you in my subscription feed. Thank you for breaking the new cards down for those of us who enjoy watching this game from afar but have no illusions of actually playing the game when the “top” decks are as expensive and involved as they are. Godspeed my dude.
In my mind the "but" pause before talking about Moon of the Closed Heaven was recorded so that jaxel could edit in a clip talking about it depending on whether or not it was actually gonna be in INFO
Thank you for making these videos, a lot of the time I get overwhelmed with cards being added but you do a great job of breaking them down into understandable segments.
these videos are the funniest, best produced, and often the most informative bits of yugitubing on the entire platform. it is unreal how ahead of the game jaxel is
they don't really hate eachother, they're more-so just incompatible when together. two funny yugioh white boys in the same room and it gets a bit awkward
@@loubob69 i don't know we're you got that from, they literally stated they hate one another, I can provide links of videos were this occured (yes more than one time)
You mentioning how you could summon the one guy with Armed Dragon Flash was a lovely little eureka moment for me. Both Armed Dragon and the LADD stuff are based on cards Chazz used
Excellent video, as usual. Might have mentioned the Super Rare trap monster, but otherwise, it's everything I'd have pointed people to (unless they specifically play Paleo). Side note, I think POTE was a bit of a flash in the pan for the game in general. It was an incredibly exciting time for a lot of people. This probably contributed to the video's success. With that said, two other things are true at the same time: 1. You are too hard on the POTE video. It is still easily one of the best videos on the set out there. You are definitely getting better at your job all the time. But you still did a good job. 2. What you are experiencing is very normal for people who make videos. It took CGP Grey *years* to surpass the success of his first viral video. This is normal. Someone's first viral video rarely creates an audience by itself. It gets attention. The job of the future videos is not to replicate the explosive success of the first viral one, it is to consolidate an audience by presenting consistently good and improving material. The people who stay will be thankful for what you do. Please be kind to yourself. You are on the path for consistent rather than sporadic success.
I don’t find Kuebiko particularly appealing, but the idea of being able to complete the trifecta of “negates that jaxel is constantly saying are dogshit” with the targeting negate would’ve been priceless
19:35 Lyrics to wowaka's Unhappy Refrain in the tabs. "Asking 'What's wrong with this picture?' has left me dizzy/Please tell me how to look back on the past"
@@TheKuribanditsThe POTE tab tracks, if that's what you're asking. I assume it sits there like a religious altar would in most households. Everything else seems right. Not sure what Titled Presentation could be, or those other Twitter and TH-cam tabs. Could be lore but equally likely to just be nothing.
Real talk I think every artist that I know has a passion project or personal pictures that get dwarfed by a doodle they did in an hour as a joke or as a gift for a friend that just got huge, and it eats away at them that the stuff they spend days or weeks on doesn't get that much traction. I think thats just a reality for people who care about their craft as much as you do. The moment you stop playing or caring about the numbers game or trying to "top" something you did earlier; that you didn't put as much work towards, or didn't have the knowledge you do now; the more freeing it will be to create. Every video has gotten better. You are improving. I know you want to see that reflected in the results, but the worst thing you can do to yourself is be jealous of your own past success. Create without the pressure to outdo yourself, and you'll find yourself outdoing yourself just by creating without pressure. Your work is wonderful, and puts konami's actual reveals to shame: Its content that the community needs. Keep at it!
Loved this video, super excited to play memento. Regarding the POTE vid, I really think that it’s just because POTE was a huge set that people really cared about. IMO every video since then has been better and better.
Something I have been cooking with actually running ankh is using aratama and sakitama to make redoer, banish himself, then return him on end phase to have something else on board. Is it good? No idea, but sakitama isn't too bad to draw on his own since you can still place him as a spell for weidju temple
my favorite analect is 17.22 where confucius basically says "Gaming is cringe, but it's better than doing nothing.", truly a legacy we can all take to heart. anyway i just discovered dimension reflector like 2 months ago for lcs so when i heard it brought up in the video i got freaking jumpscared, how did it become possibly relevant now. anyway my favorite random light fiend is the new spyral tcg exclusive, baby sleeper. i think it's funny tcg got tired of not being allowed to make relevant exclusives so its like what if we just make them secretly part of the ocg's broken deck maybe. great video btw u r the funniest yugituber. i really enjoy all the hard work that you do on these
Hey after finishing this video I just want to say I appreciate everything you do. As a casual player who enjoys summoning nut buster dragon more than creating one card combos you do an amazing job of teaching me so much about new cards. I appreciate you ❤
It can be hard to remember that things go viral sometimes. AS a content creator, it can be hard to accept a shitpost I made in 2017 is my best performing video. But your growth is defined by how many people tune in consistently, not how randomly viral one thing got by chance. you are a must watch content creator, my dude, and you have every reason to be proud. Your filmmaking for the obsession skit was better than most people earnestly trying at that kind of content even, lol.
41:15 for a brief moment you can see on the screen the OCG name of the card "BBS - be back site". I'm guessing when editing jaxel used the names that existed at the time, and changed them when the TCG name was revealed, but missed this one since it's on a transition
Pretty much exactly right, I’d have to pull up the project to figure out what I messed up specifically, but this was like one of the very last edits I made to the project at like basically 11 PM Monday night so I’m not surprised that’s where something went wrong
Meant to bring that up but couldn’t in the millennium segment cuz I hadn’t talked about rabbit yet and didn’t wanna waste time in the rabbit segment circling back to it
Makes sense. It isn’t the difference maker by half and the deck is just desperately fighting against the problem of how searchable any card with exodia or “forbidden one” in name can be allowed to be. The best thing to do with Millenium is something other than what it wants to.
Half the comedy in the Kuribandits comes from Jaxel thinking of the dumbest word association you’ve ever heard. The other half is him making fun of how dumb it is.
I think Creature Swap is such a cool option for playing the bricky flips. If you gain the bricky flip you want on OPs field you can creature swap it after setting it then activate your forced flip cards like swords or Dragon and get Hiro's or Fire Sorcerer or whatever off anyway.
To be clear, the 5th negate isn't the difference maker, X is still greater than Y and the larger point is that they just turned 2 dials on LADD and called it a day and I think that's boring.
I think POTE video wont be on the top forever tbh. LEDE almost surpassed it, and the quality of your stuff keeps going up. and trust me, I know a thing or two about having a viral video that you will never surpass in views
I'm having difficulty wrapping my head around the Ptolemy part of the Necroquip line, I'm trying test hands but it seems I either already burned Fiendsmith or Tractus as a starter so the combo runs dry or I have enough Light Fiends to continue the combo regardless. I am VERY stupid.
@@StarfieldDisarray it is very difficult to work with and probably not that good. Someone better figure it out in the next 2 days though cuz decklists are due Friday.

remembered to watch before the mbt stream this time
have a real view instead of just leaving the video running in a muted tab o7
Gimmick puppets hard making Zeus has that same aura as activating the sphere mode your opponent gave you to go into Ra
Power of the elements was really cool but really i came back for every single one of these ur amazing
The effort put into the intro is more than 99% of videos on this site
for drytron, IP into dyna mondo is yet another way to abuse DAD's soft twice per turn, so it plus the trap is 6 monster negates
heraldtron... TWO!

The one extra thing the millenium deck can do to add to the end board is make the new rabbit and set a trap.
Meant to bring that up but couldn’t in the millennium segment cuz I hadn’t talked about rabbit yet and didn’t wanna waste time in the rabbit segment circling back to it
