Just want to reiterate, I misspoke when I said Firewall coined the “FTK”. It certainly didn’t 🫠 Also yes, Prank-Kids did top 16 YCS Chicago, however for a YCS winning deck, it fell off the face of the earth in terms of the competitive meta-game and still was a rogue pick either way. But props to another rogue warrior for making the deck work. Now enjoy the video :)

Honestly, as a casual player who's not interested in competitive Yu-Gi-Oh, your story-telling abilities and video structure made this a very interesting watch. Would love to see more...

This is the first video on your channel that I stumbled upon, and I must say I love the editing. The level of hard work put into this video is admirable! Keep up the good work!

Dinh Kha's deck profiles are always great. His lab list from Bologna looked insane. I was questioning why even play Arias in furniture lab until he showed up with trap tricks of all things, absolutely genius!

Fantastic video! This style of video documentary is something the Yugioh community has really lacked. I've watched Rhystic Studies and Jon Corpora cover MtG Esports for years and always wanted that polished, narrative style covering YGO. Cheers and keep up the good work!

Man I love your conten. It’s great it’s so high quality keep it up

Yacine Sahli’s trap cyber dragon deck was a huge moment in yu-gi-oh for me. It wasn’t the fact that the deck wasn’t popular at the time. But it was reinvented and played in such a different and inventive way but was still amazing, and it’s one of my favorite things to see. It will never be as big as this upset. But it is still very cool.

YES, Cyber Dragon Trap is probably my favorite unexpected Yugioh moment. It was interesting because while most other Trap decks were threatened by Orcust using Zeroborus, Cyber Dragons had their Megafleet plays to mitigate it.

It was so cool. I made that deck shortly after and not only was it a suprising deck, but it was one of the most fun and simple decks to play as well. I’m forever sad about the new master rule lowkey nerfing that deck. My goal in yugioh is to make a deck like that one day

Wow, great video, really excellent coverage of an interesting subject! Kudos to you, sir!

Honestly a great video man. Love seeing videos that involve the history of the game, not just the cards themselves, but also the most important part, the players. 👍🏻 good job

Because of the intro i thought this was gonna be explaining how my favorite NBA player (also a good friend of mine in highschool; during my freshman year at least) became a godlike yugioh player. Wtf was that intro? Lmao

The quality of this channel is unmatched. Get this man to 100k subs holy

The risk of rain music in the background, This is a crossover I never knew I needed, yugioh history breakdowns with risk of rain music

Great video my friend, keep it up

Great video !

These history videos are so fun to listen to. Yugioh history is interesting, but often i dont see anyone covering stuff like "the biggest left field ycs win" and the like. Im sure theres def a larger audience for these presentation style videos

Really love the history great video! Learning how to properly combo a deck/ play to its full potential, has always been the most fun and difficult part of the game. Major respect for being the first ❤

Not sure why this was just playing on my phone when I set it down but good video amigo. You got a follow, sir. One critique/suggestion though, maybe lower the volume a smidge on the background music to make it more subtle rather than competing with you.

I would like to thank you for this video because I could, for the first time in my yugituber consummer life, understand what was happening.

To add some extra context to prank kids, the deck did not release with rocksies. It was just the water fire and wind guys. It got rocksies early in soul fusion special edition which helped the deck massively.

Great video! It's a really nice watch. Bit nitpicky, but I think you used the picture Top 8 from YCS Utrecht at 16:04 instead of the YCS Milan one. Granted using a picture from the event he got 2nd place with BA, doesn't really invalidate how good Dinh-Kha is at utilising under the radar strategies.

At my locals people would complain that the only reason I'd win consistently was because I'd keep changing decks every week or two for bad decks

Very high quality content which you don't see much on yugi content.

I haven’t played since a kid I collect a little but this video got me hyped

This reminds so much of when that one dude took Mega Audino to a Pokemon TCG World Championship

Cool vid

I love how goofy the Prank Kid card names are

I found success in the deck at the same time and after Dink all the way up to the salamangreat structure release. I made top 16 at ycs Chicago early 2019 and 2 ppgs in late 2018 (one being before ycs Milan) and one more in 2019. Didn't have too much success after link 1 besides winning an LCS during covid.

This channel is definitely a fan of summoningsalt

Link-1 Miow-mu at 1: At least make it limit, every deck deserve a consistent opening if they can. 2: This will make the deck is more agrresive, because you can double board wipe with no worries. 3: This will be dominant again. . Either limit or semi-limit, this will give a different impact to their play style. And I think it is still balance for the game.

@erbinha_1234

5 ай бұрын

Absolutely not, Meow-mu could be 4 and I would be surprised if Prank-kids were anything beyond Rogue. Simply because, what is the Prank-kids end-board? An one-sided board wipe and probably 2 or 3 hand-traps? If that was enough for a deck to be dominant Vanquish Soul would be tier 0. Sure, Meow-mu gives it a consistent 1 card combo, but that combo is both interruptable and low-impact, so it should go to 3

banger

I think the story of Eu2022 where rikka won its first event it's worth telling too.

One reason Borreload taking Colossus or Titan was such an important play in Prank Kids is that Fansies is also a Thunder monster, which provides fuel for their protective effects, making it that much harder for the Thunder Dragon player to recover.

here is my comment for support Ty for the vids

I other words, he pulled a real-world Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters move. In the OG anime/manga, the characters didn't exactly always know what their opponents' cards did. Nice.

I only play on master duel but prank kids is one of my favorite decks. Its an underrated strategy but "pranks" is such a fitting name 😂😂 apparently the best way to control the board is to keep clearing it 😂

The imagery you use for 'grind game' is actually someone cutting.

12:35 Thanks for the foregone conclusion. When it wasn't a good deck, it didn't top, let alone win the tourney. That's how definitions work.
