See MBT, the important thing about acting is the preparation. You purposefully screwed up tons of interactions in the past so that this time would feel like one of those screw ups. Little did Cimo know it's been a ruse this whole time!
I'm sorry, but Snipe Hunter is rancid. People read that and go "Oh hey, only fails on 1 or 6, that is so good!" Here, I'll translate it: "This card's effect fails but still costs 1 discard a THIRD of the time."
I'm a psychic. The moment he started talking about using Hydrogeddon twice, I expected him to draw it. MBT, you still haven't learned after 38 episodes: If Cimoo is the anime protagonist, that means you're the villain. And the villain always fails after revealing his evil masterplan.
I love that Gadget decks never really evolved past this point. Barring a Hydro here and a Rai-Oh there and that one weird fling they had with Ultimate Offering, basically Joseph's exact Gadget deck kept topping events off and on for the next 5-6 years. "Go +1, activate removal spell, attack" ain't fancy but it wins games.
Also, yes, back at a time when resource management mattered and Gadgets were auto in that department. Today you just play your whole hand and hope for the best or recur through recycle/graveyard effects.
@@PathBeyondTheDark I loved playing Machina Gadgets during the meta when Gateway of the six was at 3. Could easily break Shien syncro + Stardust/ Naturia negate syncros they went into turn 1 or 2.

I am a little bit surprised that there was no mention of the Rise of the Dragon Lords structure deck being released during this time period. It introduced both Foolish Burial and Trade-In to the TCG, and they're both very influential cards. Especially considering Alex had Foolish Burial in his deck and just glossed over it, when it's a brand new addition to the game at this time.
@@shawnli4746 It doesn't. It added Felgrand Dragon, Darkblaze Dragon, Decoy Dragon, Herald of Creation, Trade-In, Foolish Burial, and Malevolent Catastrophe. Notable reprints were The Creator, Tyrant Dragon, Horus Lv. 6, Morphing Jar, and Terraforming. L&DD Came out in those weird subreleases that Alex and MBT brought up.
Yugioh Progression Series fails to mention ever one of the best ARchtypes in the history of this game, Dustons, even though at the point they're at I'm pretty sure all the Dustons were in the game. And there's no way this series will show Dustons either because mostly only lame cards get played in videos, like the only Tribute monster they've played before this were Summoned Skull (barely), Monarchs, and Jinzo...even though there are amazing Tribute Summoned Monsters.
MBT describing YCS events is nuts. I imagine for the duelists that lived it, it was crazy to hear all these legends about the top competitors. The storytelling really adds weight to the format which they are playing with, and really puts me in the zone haha
Cimo: Statistically, I should be able to hit this. Me: Cimo doesn't know how common it is to miss attacks in Pokemon games, Focus Blast has 70% accuracy and is commonly memed as "Focus Miss" Snipe has 66% to hit which is garbage odds.
I just stopped using Focus Blast and Toxic. I can land every Stone Edge and sleep powder, but over 10 rounds with my friend I have a 10% accuracy with the former attacks. Toxic is 90% accuracy and I just can't hit it. I hate the move, but it really hurts only being able to Leech Seed/burn stall when I do stall.
it appears in the gx manga, yes, but the gx manga started way later than the anime. if you're thinking of the product that came with the first trade of the manga, that product's promo card wasn't ladd, but white-horned dragon.
I'm at episode 102 of Yugioh 5D's, Yusei summoned a Fusion monster and Akiza was like, "Whoa never seen anyone summon a Fusion Monster before." Also it was durign a Turbo Duel so of course Polymerization isn't a thing, but it did require a Speed Spell. I think it also goes tRC V where apparently GX is the Fusion World, 5D's is the Synchro World, and Zexal is the XYZ world. I haven't actually seen much of ARC V yet, just heard about this, but I bet they don't do Zexal justice because of haters...even though Zexal is the cloest in spirit to original Yugioh.
It still frustrates me that they did that to push the Synchro Mechanic. When that mechanic was already doing just fine if not amazingly well. They wouldn't have even been broken. The only good news is that they can be cheated out of the extra deck whenever we get the rest of Chazz's Manga cards.
10:30 Yeah, he goofed up. This is actually important playing with or against this card whether it was 2008 or in 2013 Dragon Rulers, it's one of the ways to get over this card, rendering it to a measly 800/400. This came up several times over the years, I'm not convinced Cimoo had enough experience with it.
What a great episode. It was awesome to see Cimo's deck showing off why it was so good in game 2, and MBT's deck showing off why it was good in game 3. And also, having game 1 be decided by a 1/9 chance off of Snipe Hunter rolls was hilarious.
Since he said "with the power of video editing you'll never know," I think we were just seeing it out of order. Like, when he did the first deck profile he missed the second Sangan, they had their game one, then when they were siding for game 2 he noticed it, and after the games were over he redid part of the deck profile.
@@MercenaryPen It's certainly a possibility he didn't save it, but I didn't rule anything out. I just said what I think. Either scenario is equally likely.
@@MercenaryPen The video editing comment is significant evidence against pure carelessness. It strongly suggests that he recorded the part of the list containing Sangan after he played the first game, and there would be no explanation for the comment if he had just forgot to save the updated deck (since there would be nothing for him to go back and edit as a result of that error). Ruling out carelessness without reason may not be a good idea, but we have specific evidence that suggests we should rule it out, at least in the specific form of it that you presented (unless I'm failing to think of a scenario where the editing comment makes sense given the error was what you said).
Yeah, I forgot to save the deck after putting Stratos in during the discussion, and I realized in the middle of Game 1 that the second Sangan was still in the deck when performing the Sangan search. So after concluding Game 1, I swapped Sangan for Stratos, and we continued with the match.
Fun bit of history about that Light and Darkness Dragon product: It was the only way to get your hands on the full-reprint set Dark Revelation 4, and you only got two packs. To reiterate, Dark Revelation 4 was a full reprint set containing Cybernetic Revolution, Elemental Energy, Shadow of Infinity and Enemy of Justice, with a few cards having their rarities shuffled around a bit. Dark Revelation 4 was also not released outside the US. Lastly, this wasn't the only place to get Light and Darkness Dragon: a manga dropped that same month with a secret rare version of the card inside it. So a player going for a playset of Secrets wouldn't even bother with the Dark Revelation 4 set, and those that did only got 6 packs at most of Dark Revelation 4. This is why you'll see cards like normal rare Destiny Hero Doomlord go for over $100 and Secret Rare DD Assailant go for $500.
LADD might be one of the most important inclusions in yugioh. it was one of the first real "your opponent doesnt get to play yugioh" boss cards in the game. basically what the game is all about today
@@Marcusjnmc oh then I'm sorry buddy. I have access to Nightmare Troubadour GX Spirit Caller WC 06-11 Tag Force 1- Arc V Special On my phone. Sadly Tag Force 2 doesn't add cards to the truck when you buy packs and in Tag Force 6 my card can't be sorted correctly. So I don't play those games
He added the Stratos after duel 1. I imagine that they played game 1, realized he had a 2nd Sangan, ended the duel, replaced Sangan with stratos, started another match, had Cimoo surrender game 1, then continued from there.
When I 1st discovered which gadget gets what, my mind was blown. Red gets Yellow, Yellow gets Green, Green gets Red. It's just like the order of a traffic light!
You do realize LaDD doesn't need to to be on the field when it's destroyed to activate its effect. If he did use Judgemenet, its effect would still activate.
now correct me if im wrong but i read online that ladd only gets 4 negates because it has to lose exactly 500 atk and def and its stats don't align with that 5 times being 2800/2400
Anyone else feel like Cimo's got a separate tab with "scissors" already out? So when he says he reloads the page, he just switches to a different tab. idk or maybe he's doing something else, but it does definitely feel rigged lol
Editing. He missed it the first time around, and reshot the deck profile after the games were over to account for it. He could also have forgot to save the deck changes, but since he specifically mentions the editing pre-game 2 I just think it's more likely he rerecorded the deck profile.
I loved this format. I wrote the Gadget decklist that Paul Doherty topped with in the same SJC Orlando 2008 event. He ran it after seeing the Irish players do really well with the deck in the UK Pharaoh Tour Final. 20:53 and 42:20 is exactly why I never picked Hydrogeddon, instead opting for Drillroids. You already have Gadgets as instant floaters, and it doesn't support the Gadgets in any way. Drillroid on the other hand handled Reaper, Marshmallon, Spies, Fear Monger, etc, which makes it a struggle for them to bring out LaDD.
I remember surprisingly getting Light and Darkness Dragon when I was young from the manga and being the only kid in my friend group to have it. It was my favorite card back then.
I will say I like this format better than the wheel. It makes sense in a history format to just grab the top decks at tournaments and see how they clash.
History of Yu-Gi-Oh! episode wins Cimoooooooo: 21 MBT: 17 I cannot wait until the day someone finally gets that three-peat. It's definitely gonna be an achievement when it happens
“The power of video editing, you’ll never know”. Me: proceeds to remember seeing the second sangan when cimo searched the deck with the first one and thinking hey that’s not suppose to be there.
LADD would trigger its revival eff even with Judgment. Then Raiza would still die to Shrink, or you could go for the draws with Disc. Still I believe you played it really well (it's easy to talk with card knowledge afterwards). What a great episode. Also note that I enjoy much more the episodes without the wheel. Just play the decks you like, or even better have matches that represent the format in question the best (with some personal preferences). Makes it even more nostalgic.
for the curious, cipher soldier was renamed for the opposite reason of harpie's brother and frog the jam: the tcg localized an archetype name as something else, which didn't matter for quite a long time but then arc-v entered its xyz arc
Another detail not mentioned in the LaDD explanation is that iirc it only can use its effect once per chain so even without Solemn set in that last game, if MBT had a Shrink he could bait the negate and resolve the Shrink as Chain Link 3 with no opposition. LaDD was a pretty solid boss back in the day. It's not too many episodes before the game gets REDMD too. This is gonna get pretty good.
Then it would have been far too strong for the time, people ran archfiend calvalry even though it killed itself and lost you advantage doing the same thing. Just the fact that it can autonegate anything keeps your opponent from doing anything, and on a 2800 bod you can sorta just slowly bonk over everything unless they want to commit 2-3 cards to lower it enough to beat over it.
Cimo watching these videos gives me good memories from the past of yugioh where games don’t end in one to three turns LOL. Thanks for the series keep it up!
@@pandaman1331 it's fun to me, more engaging, no pun intended, more interesting, at least when on a deck that doesn't autolose the long game & has it's own recursion & resource generation plays.
@@pandaman1331 if set passing is occuring it's a build up of resources or preparation towards a later turn, which creates pressure and changes decision trees available to both players, & that set pass itself may be due to pressure from the opposition making more interactable options seem too neg to attempt, or the opponent being down to few resources and the win on the folowing turn being ensured by patience for a turn to build more resources for a game winning push, so that the set pass demands an answer or results in the game being lost
Not sure what it's short for, but it just means that something will activate an effect when something else happens. At 6:07, it's mostly just used as a synonym for "activates"
Icon cards from Phantom Darkness: Dark Grepher, Samsara Lotus, DAD, Armageddon Knight, Darius, Super Poly, Proving Ground, Allure of Darkness, and Lonefire Blossom, yeah, that set is stacked!!!
I really liked the playing around specific cards thing from back in the day. Nowdays the only cards we play around are nibiru and gamma and we only do if we can. If we cant we just yolo.
I REALLY wish they had given Crystal Beasts a chance. With Ruins enabled you can summon them again and again, and Ruins can block the removal spells that would otherwise out the loop.

So a player going for a playset of Secrets wouldn't even bother with the Dark Revelation 4 set, and those that did only got 6 packs at most of Dark Revelation 4.

Drillroid on the other hand handled Reaper, Marshmallon, Spies, Fear Monger, etc, which makes it a struggle for them to bring out LaDD.
Wow, what an episode. This is Yugioh in its prime. So many memories came flooding back 😢
You can tell these were top cut decks.
I remember surprisingly getting Light and Darkness Dragon when I was young from the manga and being the only kid in my friend group to have it. It was my favorite card back then.
Those were such good duels to watch. That first one was like an anime duel
Light & Darkness Dragon in the manga was such a badass as chazz’s card
The moment the second snipehunter shot missed, i Liked the video ;D
I will say I like this format better than the wheel. It makes sense in a history format to just grab the top decks at tournaments and see how they clash.
Well, well... did someone forget that LADD triggers it's effect if it's destroyed by Judgment or Crush Card?
Good episode this one was. Sniper hunter is a questionable monster.
History of Yu-Gi-Oh! episode wins
Cimoooooooo: 21
MBT: 17
I cannot wait until the day someone finally gets that three-peat. It's definitely gonna be an achievement when it happens
Perfect Circle was probably my favorite Yugioh format ever alongside the formats that existed in early 2014 before DUEA (Fire Fists/HAT).
'.' Fire Fist format event on Format Library this Saturday
@@Marcusjnmc Wowee, I didn't even know that's a thing. I have to look into that.
This was possibly the most intense match I've ever watched.
“The power of video editing, you’ll never know”.
Me: proceeds to remember seeing the second sangan when cimo searched the deck with the first one and thinking hey that’s not suppose to be there.
When premature burial is pay 1400 lifepoints; discard 2 cards from your hand. Makes you wonder why its banned :)
LADD would trigger its revival eff even with Judgment. Then Raiza would still die to Shrink, or you could go for the draws with Disc.
Still I believe you played it really well (it's easy to talk with card knowledge afterwards). What a great episode.
Also note that I enjoy much more the episodes without the wheel. Just play the decks you like, or even better have matches that represent the format in question the best (with some personal preferences). Makes it even more nostalgic.
Hey look. it's _The Chazz's_ monster!
Every time time I look at that dragon I would always here this question from my childhood.
“Hey could I play with your Ojama deck?”
42:20 "CALL AN AMBULANCE< CALL AN AMBULANCE... BUT NOT FOR ME!!!!!"
Seen mbt talking about fear monger at the second game and cimooo just making a poker face was priceless
gotta love that Hydrostrapon
Holy shit
The blessing from resolving Hydrogeddon was put to good use on those Snipe Hunter rolls 😅
for the curious, cipher soldier was renamed for the opposite reason of harpie's brother and frog the jam: the tcg localized an archetype name as something else, which didn't matter for quite a long time
but then arc-v entered its xyz arc
Another detail not mentioned in the LaDD explanation is that iirc it only can use its effect once per chain so even without Solemn set in that last game, if MBT had a Shrink he could bait the negate and resolve the Shrink as Chain Link 3 with no opposition.
LaDD was a pretty solid boss back in the day. It's not too many episodes before the game gets REDMD too. This is gonna get pretty good.
Next week: The decks that were so expensive that you could have bought a car for cheaper.
I remember dimensional prison! It was anti Stardust lol
MBT: Damage step...
Gage somewhere: I feel a disturbance in the force.
Light and Darkness Dragon would be loved more if it didnt negate everything automatically
Then it would have been far too strong for the time, people ran archfiend calvalry even though it killed itself and lost you advantage doing the same thing. Just the fact that it can autonegate anything keeps your opponent from doing anything, and on a 2800 bod you can sorta just slowly bonk over everything unless they want to commit 2-3 cards to lower it enough to beat over it.
@Silverwing idk it could still be auto and not negate your own cards tho,but then it would be too op
Cimo watching these videos gives me good memories from the past of yugioh where games don’t end in one to three turns LOL. Thanks for the series keep it up!
'.' Virtual Worlds vs Sky Strikers can last rather long
@@Marcusjnmc Oh yeah. Dueling against Sky Striker can take forever. But unfortunately, longer doesn't mean more fun, contrary to popular believe
@@pandaman1331 it's fun to me, more engaging, no pun intended, more interesting, at least when on a deck that doesn't autolose the long game & has it's own recursion & resource generation plays.
@@Marcusjnmc I never found set and passing duels very engaging
@@pandaman1331 if set passing is occuring it's a build up of resources or preparation towards a later turn, which creates pressure and changes decision trees available to both players, & that set pass itself may be due to pressure from the opposition making more interactable options seem too neg to attempt, or the opponent being down to few resources and the win on the folowing turn being ensured by patience for a turn to build more resources for a game winning push, so that the set pass demands an answer or results in the game being lost
I love it when MBT goes “whooo! 🤗”
Cimo just can't avoid those 33% chances. Always Scissors. Always 1 or 6 on Snipe Hunter.
MBT should be the narrator when we get to the time that Cimo quit after Dark Armed Dragon came out
I've played a rom for the gx world tournament 2008 and I was pretty into it
What does "Proc" mean?
Heard Joseph it a lot when he talked about his deck in the beginning.
it means to meet the activation conditions of/for an effect to be activated
Not sure what it's short for, but it just means that something will activate an effect when something else happens. At 6:07, it's mostly just used as a synonym for "activates"
Hey,
Broadbull, Chris & Gregory,
Thank you all for answering my question! Much appreciated! 🙏🏾
And Cimo finds himself on the OTHER side of ".... damage step?"
Icon cards from Phantom Darkness: Dark Grepher, Samsara Lotus, DAD, Armageddon Knight, Darius, Super Poly, Proving Ground, Allure of Darkness, and Lonefire Blossom, yeah, that set is stacked!!!
I really liked the playing around specific cards thing from back in the day. Nowdays the only cards we play around are nibiru and gamma and we only do if we can. If we cant we just yolo.
There's lightning storm by putting monsters into def mode instead of leaving them in atk mode when possible
@@potatoexe5410 truuuu
Church of monarch with Cimoo as the vicar and the devil since he looses alot cimoo trying to get mbt to repent his ways
I REALLY wish they had given Crystal Beasts a chance. With Ruins enabled you can summon them again and again, and Ruins can block the removal spells that would otherwise out the loop.
This episode is the end of perfect circle? I guess this deck has come full circle.
46:08 was the highlight of my day.
THE DAMAGE STEP SHRINK. LEGENDARY
Me watching this episode nice
Also me knowing dad is coming oh yeah good times ahead
I love Light and Darkness Dragon so much
I want to give a personal shout out to the Patreon named "DamageStepKaluut" just because.
ya lost the moment you tributed the marshmelon. it was your only defense.
Raiza: Foolish Machine, I'm a God!
Red Gadget: Puny God.
Cipher Soldier got its name changed because of the "Cipher" archetype being released. Think of it as a reverse Frog the Jam.
