Some Singaporean dude, will upload whatever I want and feel interested about.

I want this to be a side thing I do in my life, not a main commitment for now.
As I'm pursuing my university degree, there won't be time for a regular schedule.
Enjoy the quality.

    I feel that isnt the case yet, since only 1 major wave of support came out after it (the rest are kinda sprinkled here and there), so we dont really have much to go off for now. For timaeus, it is restricted more from archaic design than pulling the brakes on DM support since it is technically usable in decks that have a mix of dragons and spellcasters like in branded, but held back by hinging on setting up spells in the gy because DM cant make up their mind on wanting spell/traps in gy or not. Illusion of chaos was designed to fill the monster searcher spot which was much needed. The rest are nostalgia bait references that for some reason still have battle phase centric effects (magikuriboh & knight of dragon magic) or haha-hehe-blow-up-effect-too-difficult-to-pull-off (master of chaos) Honestly would need to see more incoming support to see if this is true, but you never know if [Toy box + white woods] could one day make DM relevant again cos it needs to send a billion spells too.

    Thank god we dont live in a timeline where something like DM is meta relevant lol. Duel Links made me despise DM and Blue Eyes so now I just laugh whenever the pilots of those decks complain about them being mad. Like I realistically should feel bad, but I am too petty and biased against those 2 decks to care lol

    I’ve been playing ONLY DM since 2016 so I’m glad to see someone covering the deck and you did a great job Despite having “multiple searches” the deck lacks….searches lol The back row can definitely feel cluttered Even if you full combo your end board is basically nothing And your entire game plan is basically just to summon Dragoon and hope it’s one negate is magically enough …well that or playing a stun variant (which in my opinion is the best way to play DM by far. The deck is so bad I don’t care if other variants are able to consistently poop out 2 dragoons in one turn, that just isn’t enough. Especially when 1 flood gate has a lot more stopping power)

  • @ASalomon69

    Thanks for commenting about your perspective on the deck! I've always heard that the deck was bad in some way, shape, or form, but never got a solid concrete explanation of it besides vanilla = bad, or it just sucks in general. Glad you found my points valid to the discussion. Regarding the searchers part though, it was something I never really heard people talk about alot, and only found out about it from the video I shared near the end. During playtests I would just play with what I had and just hoped for the best. Maybe I've been too conditioned by bad ritual decks to just vomit out my hand and pray.

    @@ASalomon69 DM players also don’t use a lot of cards that are considered good in the deck. Circle, Eternal Soul, Navigation, etc We literally only play Souls, Rod, the blue man, shitty dragons eyes but now as a monster, Servant, and of course dm and dms questionably aged girlfriend The only combo worth going for is Souls summon DM Blue man group to search the worst fusion effect in all of history dragon And then use the dragon and your dm to summon Dragoon Anything else on your deck usually just revolves around making this as consistent as possible Its also a little funny that Dragoon isn’t a hard once per turn so having a board of 2 dragoons is actually full combo Altho good luck having two cards in hand for that That’s also another thing you touch up on in your video and that’s how despite dragoon being a pretty good card. A lot of the time, on your path to summon it you end up with zero cards in hand making the entire point of summoning dragoon pointless

    I didnt know about that honestly and it would be nice to find out how the hell did that happen. Point taken though, but I try to consider more modern formats in my videos since they are more closer to the present and more relevant to the general player. End result, though, is me not talking about the colourful and impactful history of flips (such as not going to talk all about magician of faith looping spells or gravekeepers stalling with flip monsters for tribute setup).

    I think if you add floodgates to any deck or archetype, it becomes good if not somewhat playable or decent. No matter the playability level of that archetype, Flip monsters are no exceptions, can we truly say that the Flip monsters were the reason that the deck did well? . On their own Flip monsters cannot do much, it doesn't matter if they have insane effects or mediacore ones. The time investment is just not worth it, and if you are gonna attach a floodgating effect to a Flip monster, does that even hold true to the legacy of Flip monsters? Or is it just summon limit on legs? It's like Equip cards in Yu-Gi-Oh, they could get the most game breaking effects with insane consistency from Konami in or outside of an archetype but still being brushed off due to how modern Yu-Gi-Oh can deal with Equip cards. Great video btw, looking to see more video essays like this from your channel👍🙌 This topic was extremely thought provoking and fun to follow along throughout the video.

    Thanks for your comment! Funny that you mentioned about the "legacy of Flip monsters" because my original scripting wanted to cover that lightly but scrapped it since it should not hold any bearing when designing them in the future, baring some retrains such as magician of sanctifaith to magician of faith where the theme is kept constant as to the past. I also chose to focus on the mechanic itself instead since that was the main issue holding back flip monsters like ritual monsters, whereas spirit monsters are the ones affected by their legacy the most IMO.

    I think you're slightly off, it's not just dementia and masochism. It's because there's also a very small non 0% chance that when you play spirits you can cause your opponent immeasurable suffering. For example with shinobirds, non targeting bouncing their entire field to hand and then leaving Dwayne "Amano-Iwato" Johnson to hold the line. The 5 second pause after their draw step where you KNOW they're clicking on cards that can't be activated into surrender is all I need. I live for that pause.
