Galaxy Photon is a deck that either extend through everything bc every card have "Special Summon" in its text or just brick harder than Blue Eyes bc all the special summon require a specific card on field/GY
Sometimes we can play through disrupts/handtraps and somehow end up clogging our boards with rank 8s and sometimes we open 3 GEPD, a Vanisher, and a Lightning Storm when we're the turn 1 player.
"bricks harder than Blue-Eyes" As someone who pivoted from Blue-Eyes to Blue-Eyes/GalaxyPhotons to just pure Galaxy/Photons, I find this patently incorrect. Even before all the support they got, pure Galaxy/Photons could drop two level 8s much easier than Blue-Eyes could, with much less investment.

my favorite thing about how MBT mentions that Photon is basically 3 archetypes (Galaxy, Photon, and Galaxy-Eyes) is that there are actually more. There's also Tachyon, Starliege, and Cipher. Some anime characters are like Jesse and have a bunch of Crystal cards with sub-archetypes or like Jaden and typically go for one sub-archetype like his Elemental HEROs. And then others are Kite and play decks that are actually half a dozen archetypes stapled together.

I mean, yeah. The fact that going first is way better is a problem, but that doesn’t mean a deck that can only go second is the solution. You’re going to be going first and second in yugioh, not one or the other. The game doesn’t need more going second, it needs more balance between the two
form me i ALWAYS lose when i go second. it honestly seems to do better going first. also i exlcusively play galxay eyes. i just think going second is a genuine problem. by that point my opponet has so many negates i can't do anything. that or i just always brick going second
love that he was like "Photon Lord is now no longer 50 dollars." correct! it's now closer to 70 dollars. :) MBT did you just assume it would have gotten a reprint by now like I did?
I know it’s a rank 4 staple but just hearing bagooska the terribly tired tapir among all these badass dragon and photon names with no elaboration on its effect is so funny to me.
There's a balancing act you have to play in this deck. It's either have no handtraps or 50/50 brick chance. 3 trade-in is unpopular amongst galaxy players but even they'll admit that every other game a trade-in would've saved their hand even if the draw was negated. I personally run 2 trade-in and 2 jumper 2 vanisher and 2 trance (and then 2 roach 1 ash 2 called by since it's master duel) Trade-in pitch emperor turns on trance if you keep it in the graveyard. The summon turns on vanisher and expedition. Unfortunately there's no r8's that search pieces that you need unless you have/used afterglow, then u can maybe extend a bit further. But you can still end with a Lord that can't be destroyed by card effects and can search for the next turn, or a towers in the form of c62. I've managed to salvage a surprising amount of games (two) by managing to pitch photon emperor for cost and ending with tachyon dragon pass with transmigration in my hand. No fucking idea why the purrley player i was up against thought it was a good idea to do like a chain link 6 when i clearly had transmigration but we take those lmaooo
I actually added galactikuriboh to this deck since when you would be attacked you can discard it to special summon gepd from hand or deck and force that atk to be on gepd and when in gy you can banish it to protect galaxy and photon monsters
love how there isn't even just Photon, Galaxy and Galaxy-Eyes in here, but a bit of extra deck is also part of Cipher, the weird GEPT kinda-retrain from ARC-V. could call the deck Kite Pile honestly
With the new support it now feels like a good deck with consistency.The only issue is that it needs better xyz monsters for going first the deck is already good going second.
I wish the Deck Discussion was less, "Read the text on every card", and more "Here's what this does in layman's terms, why it's run/how important it is, any personal opinions." It feels like older TMT's did this more.
going first board is decent if you know the lines. ideally you want both rank 4's for targeting and card desctruction protection, photon lord and the link.
Shame that this was filmed before the banlist came out. Not that the result of that last bo3 would have changed, but the deck is certainly better positioned after Ariseheart's jailing.
Not a fan of this list, but ultimately the judgement on the deck is still mostly accurate. You can actually build the deck to play into Dark Ruler better. By including Eternal Galaxy you can turn a rank 4 into one of the rank 8 negaters, and you can do so after you've waited for a Dark Ruler to drop. This line means you'll likely have to do the rest of the combo with 1 less extender though because you use GPD's search on Eternal Galaxy instead of an extender. Sadly, the main problem is that there are still too many hands where you literally cannot play a single card in your hand. I run only 4 lv8 monsters in my deck (2 GEPD, 1 Afterglow, 1 Emperor) compared to this deck's 8 and my deck still runs into that problem too often.
I ran it as I wanted to eliminate bricking as much as I could, specifically for hands like you saw in G3 against Kash. It's definitely something you could cut if you're a braver man than I 😅
@violetprison5478 I’d been running prosperity for a while now, mostly because I felt like I was bricking more with trade-in. But I changed my list recently so I think I’ll give it another shot.
Honestly just picked up Galaxy Photon about a week or so ago in master duel, I just play it as a blind 2nd deck, it’s been working wonders for me, only time the deck has flopped on me is in the mirror match, because going first with galaxy hundred basically let’s you summon the different number cards or banish Zeus, or finishers like C62 or number 107 for negating the mirror match battle phase effects
So nice of MBT to release this just after these cards released...in Master Duel. (Really tho thanks you run the best deck breakdowns on this webbed site and I'm overjoyed to have one ready for a deck I'm really excited to build
I’m gonna be honest. I don’t know what to think of this list. I’m very happy that Galaxy-Eyes actually perform somewhere as I personally like the deck (it’s also the pet deck of a friend of mine)! But some of those main deck choices and ESPECIALLY the side deck seem… interesting 😅
Hearing MBT talk about how Kash clearly isn’t the best deck in the format tells me that in about a month people will be talking about how fair the deck was and how based anyone who plays the deck is
I love how most of his complaints with kashtira is “this deck dies to any piece of commonly played non engine interaction” but that doesn’t stop it from winning games. Though now that ariseheart is banned, kash decks will need to change up massively.
@@DrAiPatch what I mean is, they'll start slapping a number of floodgates and become what runick stun is. Funny enough actually, I've seen a lot of kashtira runick stun in master duel. But I'm certain that's only a master duel thing
hi joseph! hope you had/are having fun in cancun. i'm a runick spright player and i'm a little confused - at 11:30 the guy plays slumber to summon hugin. shouldn't he use either of the other 2 and then slumber to draw? or do you think keeping the interruption of flash fire/curse is more valuable?
Honestly this deck is the perfect example of a sleeper deck imo. Not like sleeper T1 or anything, but a solid high rogue that people absolutely overlook
I hope dark matter dragon gets an errata that tailors it specifically towards galaxy eyes. That and more chaos xyz will make the deck a lot better. We also need searchers that can search any galaxy, galaxy eyes, or photon card
We have TWO CARDS that search any card. 2 monsters that search spells/traps. FOUR monsters that search other monsters. We literally only need tachyon transmigration to be searchable

@@thebirdprincess It can (and I personally do in MD, with Roach and Friends), but it also makes the deck significantly more bricky. As you see in game 3, I'm fairly sure the cards he boarded out were the Trade-ins and that makes it *really* hard to unclog your hands.
The first kash player beat you if he wasn’t dumb. Book the spell negate to which you have to negate. Summon ogre e con take the photon lord. Prosperity hoping for fenrir or unicorn. Birth bring back ogre if needed an basically pick apart your board an setup for the crack back
I'm a big fan of Galaxy Photon and I'm very mixed on the list. I feel like the guy could have cut back on some things to play more handtraps or board breakers.
Galaxy has a turn 1 that forces a turn skip on your opponent to be fair. It's done with photon time skip and the artifact xyz so relatively not impossible to pull off
So we get photon but not cydra ten minute testing? 😢 like, yeah cydra sucks but we got clockwork night which turns everything into machines and lets us chimeratech the whole board and also duality which is metamorphosis for the deck😓
It used to be a staple before the new support. The problem is that the deck is tight, like really tight. There's so many things you want and need to play that cuts are inevitable. Plus with the release of cards that can modulate soldier's wierdo level like summoner and galaxy photon dragon its actually better most of the time to just turn it into a lv4 or lv8 to further extend your plays. As a result a lot of people cut the infinity package for more relevant names. Personally speaking tho I think the list's creator coulda easily taken out the 2nd lord and bagooska for the infinity package. The lion's share of the time you don't need the 2nd lord, and galaxy hundred has a neat interaction where you can actually opt to poach a number monster from your opponents extra deck instead of banishing a card, and guess who just happens to be the most played number xyz monster in the game. I'm not gonna pretend it happens all the time or even that it's always the most optimal play, but its something that's relevant enough to warrant considering in my opinion.
I actually prefer to take this deck going first, round 1 I can usually setup a lord, blast dragon and solflare along with, hopefully, a tachyon transmigration, if I pop off full combo add a hope harbinger to that.
as a galaxy eyes player i don't think its that compicated to play. actually since i picked it up(whcih was for like ever) i have never once struggled to figure out what to do and when to do it. not until i started changing my strat with photon jumper which even then it took a few tries before my brain clicked. i actually prefer going first(in master duel) because negates go brr photon blast,photn lord and if ur lucky solflare dragon and im most of the time okay. if i go second its a matter of weather or not my opponent gets all there negates out. point being i either love galaxys eyes to the point it doesn't feel complex or well idk tbh. interesting decklist tho i'll be sure sure to try this one out. also 14:06 why wasn't galxay eyes speical summoned when bkast dragon was summoned?

About the (1) effect (the effect that protects the monster from being targeted)
- It is an Ignition effect that activates on your field
- It does not target
- It applies to LIGHT monsters you control by the time it resolves (which means it does NOT protect monsters that comes into the field afterwards)
- The "your opponent cannot target LIGHT monsters you control with card effects" part does NOT affect the monster.

The first kash player beat you if he wasn’t dumb. Book the spell negate to which you have to negate. Summon ogre e con take the photon lord. Prosperity hoping for fenrir or unicorn. Birth bring back ogre if needed an basically pick apart your board an setup for the crack back
But Tachyon stays getting no recent support, huh? 😭 I'm happy for y'all Photon fans though, love the monster designs.
I'm a big fan of Galaxy Photon and I'm very mixed on the list. I feel like the guy could have cut back on some things to play more handtraps or board breakers.
he said he went first
when i go agianst photons and am able to monster reborn their galaxy eyes oh do they have a hard time
It's been a while since I've played. Can someone explain why Honest isn't in the deck?
Galaxy eyes really does just feel like a fancier blue eyes
That's because it is it does all the same things as Blueeyes but with a longer combo.
@DrAiPatch I wish master duel would give us alternative ultimate, I would play blue eyes non stop
Ah yes galaxy, my favourite Mexican deck. Some would even say it's one of the strongest edison deck!
I loved the part where gage said it's "Spanishin time" and chicos and chicad all over them 😮
GEPT NATION RISE UP I LOVE GEPTING
I thought Afterglow was Starry Dragon and i was like "what kinda jank ahh build you got going on here?"
They both look so similar
1 vanisher 2 thrasher. Search vanisher easy and thrasher is the combo starter based on other cards in hand.
Cancun looks amazing
The level 4 that summons another copy of itself might be the push the deck needs to de-brick itself
curious are you allowed to watch the event in person
Man I forgot about the whole anime thing where only numbers can destroy numbers. I feel like all numbers should get that effect in the tcg.
they made a Numbers trap with the effect to protect Numbers, similar to the anime
So you want to turn all Number to Zeus?
still trying to figure out whats on that tank top he wears all the time
Live and die by the level eight garnets.
Every galaxy photon players experience.
the deck doesnt brick nearly as much anymore
If you want to have more stuff to do going first, galaxy soldier + 2 light monsters can get you to cydra infinity
Ahh yes. The Space Church of *BIG NUMBER.*
I must admit I don’t like that this version of the deck has no copies of photon sanctuary. It’s a good starter
photon sanc is decent, not too important to the overall line but yea, the decklist here is questionable
@@blackfiresprout I mean, I don’t entirely disagree, but in my head, it’s a starter that isn’t as easily messed up by handtraps as most others
Where you finding these Kash players? Cos everytime I play against the deck, they always open unicorn + fenrir + shifter + birth + prosp
Galaxy has a turn 1 that forces a turn skip on your opponent to be fair. It's done with photon time skip and the artifact xyz so relatively not impossible to pull off
Seeing all my fav yugitubers out in Cancun giving me the biggest case of FOMO. YUGIOHHHHHHH
So we get photon but not cydra ten minute testing? 😢 like, yeah cydra sucks but we got clockwork night which turns everything into machines and lets us chimeratech the whole board and also duality which is metamorphosis for the deck😓
My favorite archetype of all time \o/
same
I’m surprised the deck doesn’t play with Cyber Dragon Nova and Infinity. You can make it with two Galaxy Soldiers.
It used to be a staple before the new support. The problem is that the deck is tight, like really tight. There's so many things you want and need to play that cuts are inevitable. Plus with the release of cards that can modulate soldier's wierdo level like summoner and galaxy photon dragon its actually better most of the time to just turn it into a lv4 or lv8 to further extend your plays. As a result a lot of people cut the infinity package for more relevant names. Personally speaking tho I think the list's creator coulda easily taken out the 2nd lord and bagooska for the infinity package. The lion's share of the time you don't need the 2nd lord, and galaxy hundred has a neat interaction where you can actually opt to poach a number monster from your opponents extra deck instead of banishing a card, and guess who just happens to be the most played number xyz monster in the game. I'm not gonna pretend it happens all the time or even that it's always the most optimal play, but its something that's relevant enough to warrant considering in my opinion.
We used to, but Summoner and GPD's ability to make Soldier into a 4 or 8 alongside a tigher Extra Deck means we had to cut it.
I love seeing runick being slapped for 5 billion damage after drawing 3
Love Galaxy!! Just hope Konami actually gives us a proper starter and turn 1 play one day 😅
Ikr? Retrain accelight please!
I actually prefer to take this deck going first, round 1 I can usually setup a lord, blast dragon and solflare along with, hopefully, a tachyon transmigration, if I pop off full combo add a hope harbinger to that.
Blackpool? Blackpool!? I never thought I'd here that name love MBT's lips
will mbt revisit this again once Photon Delta wing comes to tcg?
I'm guessing whenever a streamer wants to go on a nice holiday, they host a subathon
Gage's spanish is top tier
as a galaxy eyes player i don't think its that compicated to play. actually since i picked it up(whcih was for like ever) i have never once struggled to figure out what to do and when to do it. not until i started changing my strat with photon jumper which even then it took a few tries before my brain clicked. i actually prefer going first(in master duel) because negates go brr photon blast,photn lord and if ur lucky solflare dragon and im most of the time okay. if i go second its a matter of weather or not my opponent gets all there negates out. point being i either love galaxys eyes to the point it doesn't feel complex or well idk tbh. interesting decklist tho i'll be sure sure to try this one out. also 14:06 why wasn't galxay eyes speical summoned when bkast dragon was summoned?
Who topped with the galaxy eyes?
I am one of them pet deckers
That card's name sounds like a new cellphone model
Pilot here! Sorry I made you have to wrap your head round this backwards deck by topping somehow 😝 I'm fairly sure it won't happen again
erling haaland playing kash makes sense.
"Prospi? That's not resolving" lmao
Mbt really said that a deck that ends on a quick pop and 2 negates can do almost nothing going first
