Sitting next to you as you your opponent activated D.D. Dynamite for game was the best moment of my weekend lmao

How can one person get more based

"A lot of decks go unexplored, because the community thinks it's bad, so people don't play it" dude this is true of so many games with a way smaller matchup chart than YGO. I mean it took Smash Melee players like 15 years to realize Yoshi wasn't a low tier character and that's a video game with a roster that hasn't changed since 2001. Everything in YGO is underexplored if not totally unexplored. That's part of what makes the game fun: they release new stuff and increase the problem space of deckbuilding, through sheer combinatorics, because we don't have set rotation, and so it's impossible to ever fully explore the game. Even if the very early formats (pre-GOAT, basically) are solved, every other historical will take forever to fully explore, and modern will just keep accelerating past our ability to examine it in its entirety

bro taking edison deck for next tcg tourney

“Draw 3 every turn is just fountain🤡” omg 😂

I don't play current Format, but seeing Paleo in 2024 is just 😮

Witch's Strike was huge brained.

6-1-2 while only winning one coin flip is really impressive

Next paleo support, paleo field spell searches a paleo trap, also opponent cannot respond to paleo effect activations, can activate 1 paleo trap same turn it’s set

The witch strike thing is criminal, lock this man away

Josh is Paleozoicfied

I loved the cameo at 8:52

A lot of stuff goes under explored in this game. EARTH Machine and Fluffal ar two decks that have very high potential but no top player will give them a try. In a way is good because if the decks remain relatively unknown people don't know how to play against them, but at the same time no progress is made on them. A couple recent exceptions were Unchained and Naturia, Konami made the support cards commons but eventually had to hit them in the banlist because they were legitimate budget options.

The power spells look really good in this version, there's also a version where you send suliek with marella, search tear kash, with the general plan of fusing with tear into mud and overlaying reino and mud for bahamut toad. Once your xyz are in the grave you can also fuse for kalaido, and tear offers kalaido spin, field spell pop, suliek as ways to chew through, and to interupt a board. There is also a lab version that uses traps to recur stovie torbie as a level 2 for xyzing with because paleo xyz only need one trap,as well as getting you big welcome to be an interruption, and if you run lovely, she can reset your traps, and the other one can set you extra trpas from deck. Some considerations for cards you could run, titanocider, lost wind are still decent, 1 vivid tail in lab/tear versions to reset cards for next turn, to dodge interruptions, to proc lab effects, and to recur effects from the grave. The final card you could consider is ret-time reviver emit-ter which allows you to ss a level 2 from grave that books an opponents monster and your paleos are unnafected, and it will still summon, but your paleo doesnt get booked, but theirs does

because of you ive been able to play paleo in md again and have been considering trying it irl again. the deck is so fun and unique and i miss playing it since paleo frogs.

Everything about this is pure good yugioh. Knowledge about interactions and resource management in the highest levels (that being said fuck d barrier HAHA)

Quality content. Love to see the potential of decks that have been written off.

I played a Paleo/Spright/Exodia deck on MD for a couple seasons, so I know and love paleos. It's super fun, you need to stall using your resources carefully while you draw a ton hoping to find the pieces. It's like a timer on a bomb, if you like the feeling

Super fun and inspirational seeing you put effort into having fun with a not so strong deck! I have been playing crystal beast for a while and I still don't feel confident enough even to go to an ots with it but after I figure out how to smokescreen I think I'll give it a shot!

Honestly frog spright is kinda underrated. Lets you go avramax dupe lock on opponents turn, stops nib before 5 summons, and you can run paleo and boost the deck to 60 cards for more options. Also lets you run tear cards too for more mills to the grave to potentially hit angler again. Substitoad is just a str8 up busted card too, and is pretty easy to get into hand.

Bro actually cosplayed as prehistoric player in a tournament. Giga-based

I like your take on decks that go unexplored. I've been taking Umi to regionals, and just continually experimenting with the list to try and make it as competitive as possible. Currently running a small icejade package to splash in water 10 synchros, like aegirine or chungus and some kashtira stuff.

Love this 🔥 still reminds me of the time I played my odd eyes deck during peak virtual world tri brigade and drytron. Managed to get some wins solely off no one knowing which monsters were the main threats or which pendulum effects were most relevant.

Awesome deck profiles as always!

The paradox mentioned at the beginning thats exactly what I've been thinking about Everytime yugitubers make tier lists .

Great video, wanted to say I didn’t know that the video ended cause the Autoplay played a video with the same first 5 words

I played inov paleo pure. This deck single handedly made me fall back in love with the game. Accumulated fortune was my favorite card because of people response to seeing it. Thanks for this profile and having fun with my favorite deck!❤

I saw your 60 card paleo deck in my recommendations, but I never paid attention to it till earlier I saw someone use it against me and it looks so much fun

You gotta bring Salad next. Do it for the culture

I played Paleo Lab in the most recent Duelist Cup! Obviously not optimal but it was soooo fun. So I am definitely one of the people who is familiar with the different Paleo effects ;)

morganite is quickly growing to be my favorite card! thanks for the list i'll surely try it out looks hella dope

Thank you so much for giving Paleo the love it deserves. I’ve been climbing Ranked with different versions of the deck all week and it’s been such a great time to pilot. Definitely the most fun I’ve had playing Yugioh since Paleos were first released. Glad they’re finally a real deck.

Hey Josh! Have you considered the quick-play spell card "Surprise Chain?" Here's the effect for your convenience: Activate only as Chain Link 2 or higher; apply the following effects, depending on the Chain Link number of this card, in sequence (skip over any that do not apply). You cannot activate this card if multiple cards/effects with the same name are in that Chain. ●2+: Excavate the top cards of your Deck, equal to the Chain Link number of this card, then place them on the top of your Deck in any order. ●3+: Send the top card of your Deck to the GY. ●4+: Draw 1 card. You can only activate 1 "Surprise Chain" per turn. Essentially, if you make the chain link really high, you can basically search your deck for 1 card and mill for one card. I will admit though, it isn't the best tech, considering it isn't a trap, but I wanted to mention it regardless!

I have been having a lot of fun with eldlich paleo. milling cards with kuribandit and the zombie vampire that you make with the horus engine is really good. also the extra deck is adaptable since eldlich enables rank 5 and 10, horus enables rank 8, and paleos enable the rank 2 pool.

If you had won 3/9 dice rolls instead of 1 you'd probably have been in the finals. This is the one thing I really hate about yugioh, the reliance on the die roll.

Have you try with Volcanics? Back in the day I was in love with that deck (Paleo-Volcanic) and, as I can see, you can use pretty much the same engine cards to accelerate the volcanic engine. It can be for both scenarios: to burn your opponent with Scattershoot, or to control it.

This applies more to MD, but reasoning + junk collector is also a nasty combo version of paleo :)

Ive been trying a similar deck in master duel, its super fun. Sometimes you lose, but geting past turn 3 or 4 and just trying to outgrind the opponent is super satisfying.

I’ve been trying out laundry dragon maid to get mills, since its a level 2 and also a water, its been alright! I also found that sometimes it can be helpful for toad since toad can add back a the laundry, then you can send laundry for stuff like dinomischus. Super cool profile!

I've been playing 60 card Paleojamas, using leancholia to abuse Ojama Duo, I run 1 eldlich, 1 ABC, ojamassimulation for rank 4s like Bagooska and Exciton into Zeus. Holeutea plus Lv 2 for opabina turn 1. Arias set ojama duo - end of battle phase duo resolution activate evenly matched. I agree the Paleozoics are slow but the ojamas make the deck fast. I only play 1 spright jet, blue, and double cross for a searchable trap reborn/steal. Phantom knights vambrace is a 1.55 card Anomalocaris that doubles as battle protection or level manipulation. Don't sleep on Numer29 & number2 js

loved the deck profile, man now even I want to try some paleos

I played Paleos in N/R in Master Duel so I am familiar with quite a few of them. I would need to read the ED monsters for sure and a few of the main deck traps.

I think this is the channel I needed to get myself back into form. I’ve been trying to stay in the meta, which I never do, to try and climb rank and getting stuck in a mindset and play style that isn’t me. I just need to get back into fun rogue strategies that are fun for me to play instead of this robotic net-decking, meta chasing. Winning for me used to be having fun and pulling off combos, competitive meta chasing is so toxic.

Awesome Paleo deck. I should share it with a friend of mine since he likes to play paleo from time to time too

I love this deck so much in MD I mixed Paläo Mill with Lab, Tear and Shadoll.

Absolutely love this.

I too am enjoying what you cook up because you don't have to try hard for points/YCS'. It's very enjoyable watching someone be creative and enjoy something they're good at. I do know what most of the Paleos do, as well as accumulated fortune, not because I played when they were a meta threat, but because I've made a paleo-exodia deck which I quite enjoy. :)

This deck list got my Sub! Sweet list!

Now we just gotta wait for runick paleo

Another possible idea for this deck - goddess skuld's oracle. I liked it in paleo in the past and it gets better the longer the game goes on. You give them cards you can play around, eventually end up playing with perfect information and in game 2 unless they opened a side deck card then they're never seeing one until you let them. The down side is a second copy is a totally dead card and it takes a few turns to get the value from the first one. It was interesting when I played it though, you could tell who also played mtg and had experience with control decks there based on how fast they realised that they have to get skulds oracle off the board.

On the idea of picking up older decks to see hiw they do in a modern format, do you think the new fire support would help a deck like Nepthys? All of their graveyard shenanigans makes them decent in a grind game and things like amblowhale and princess help with even more recursion

I'm just now getting back into the game, and was disappointed to learn Ronintoadin was banned and I can't play my paleo-frogs anymore. But this is making me reconsider, and at least try to make the paleos work if the frogs don't. I was going to try a Traptrix deck, but now I may instead try them with paleos and see what happens. Thanks for the inspiration!

Lmao the DB grinder clip 😂😂

You could also secret barrel as a time card as well 200 for each card in there hand and on there field is good. Plus you could run. Threatening roar as a battle negate

...yeah I'm building this in Master Duel. Paleofrogs was my baby. I started playing it before it was really on anyone's radar, even before Toadally Awesome, and kept at it until it getting hit + Links introduction made me take a break. Is the only Deck I own IRL. Only just downloaded Master Duel last Tuesday, so now is as good a time as any.

hey josh recently come back to the game over the last year and im struggling to learn what the core cards or packages consist of expample what you need to include in like a branded package or spright

Paleozoic is love and life On Master Duel I built a 60 card Paleozoic with a small Labrynth engine for Ariane, Stovie torbie, lovely, Big Welcome Labrynth that's been super fun to play

Paleo was my first locals deck E: i think it was a little while after gouki extra link

10:30 protection engine - and based deck - no stun engine

Got me playing this. I've been trying out good goblin house keeping. Fun deck to mess with

Could sprind instead of sp be a budget option. Gigantic into draw one into sprind dump scattershot sounds nice. If not sprind in the main then could side it

Seen the same thing happen playing Thunder Dragon Titan, people forget it's one of the few relevant boss monsters left in the game on a When not an If

@Joshua Schmidt maybe you could add Boo-Boo Game to maximise Waboku no battle damage effect and to recycle 2 traps to the field.

I took an 8-year break from competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! near the start of Pendulum era because disgusted me at that point. By the time I came back, there were so many new cards that it took me a long time to learn everything. My first few tournaments I would consistently go to time because 1. I play a combo deck that I had to relearn on the fly bc the OCG card I tested with didn't come out until several months later, and 2. I had to read damn near every card my opponents played in order to maintain the gamestate. I would have to read all the Paleos, aside from Candidna bc she was a staple in Duel Links xD

If you let your dice soak in the moon light of a full half moon for 567 hours in a row, they should start rolling better

Incredible

What about The Phantom Knight of lost Vambrace? Its a nice little interruption + triggers a paleo + puts an extra level 2 monster on the board for animalocaris or opabinia.

That’s db grinder cameo goes crazy

Since you mentioned Accumulated Fortune only being okay, do you think Hope For Escape could work better? With Rollback halving your life points so much I'd imagine you could get some crazy draws off of it but idk if its too high roll-y

Thank you for playing Paleozoic. These little guys need some love too Komoney.

I've always been tempted to play Paleo Spright. Don't know if I have the mental capacity to cook a list that contends though. 😅

I would need to read every card but more so to know when i want to use them, i tried throwing paleos together when i first started master duel but never really looked into anything else

Another thought - could there be a way to be a loop scattershot deck in game 2. Like jar of avarice back the scattershots and then put back the blaze accelerator reload

Hey Josh, have you also considered Flowerdino for extra banish recursion, and Angel of Blue Tears?

I'd love to play this as well now XD although cba buying Rollbacks.

get well soon

Does anyone know where I can watch the feature match (paleo vs voiceless)? I can't find it on YT

2:56 sounds like this was not just an upside, your opponents dealt some psychic damage, lol

The most fun game I ever played I was playing 60 card PK Paleo Frog against Towers Gouki. Damn that was fun.

Since you spam "Transaction Rollback" and will probably not deal much dmg to your opponents LP "Hope for Escape" could maybe be better then "Accumulated Fortune" in this deck.

Dein HoB Video war zu wild :D

Would it be bad to add some more control maxing out to 60 in the form of cards like TT? Maybe monster gate?

Falling more and more in love with trap decks now. Rollback I hope never hits the banlist because is the coolest card ever

you should consider play8ing bomber dragon. you can field wipe 5 or more times a turn like zues

Ah Paleozoic, one of the only decks that took on my armed dragon Catapult cannon deck at full board. Being inmune to monster effects is a real pain for that deck! Both it and A-Z

I just realized you could use Paleos to go into Epurrely Plump. It's generic... and since you're milling so much in the MD deck, you could technically mill the 1 of delicious memory and make Expurrely Noir. It's win more but it works, it could also make a 6 mat zeus pretty easily by overlaying Plump into Downerd into Zeus.

Did you ever test out ret-time reviver in this deck instead of ipiria?

hey josh, after watching your master duel stuff, me and a friend also started building paleo for the tcg. what do you think of merrli as an alternative to ipiria. i always found myself struggling to have enough paleos in grave to get the most value from my traps, and i feel like merli is similar to ipiria, but it gets cards in grave instead of hand.

Considering how skilled Josh is with Paleo it never surprises me that he is able to take this deck to events and perform well. Congrats and I am glad you had fun with the deck again

Next tournament we will see Josh take Shaddoll Cartesia Dogmatika to show his love for Shaddoll

That side deck is so fucking funny

This is amazing, it makes me incredibly happy to see Paleo in 2024.

Josh is the Wizard off the coast.

now we only need paleo runick to unlock the ultimate version of josh

Josh the 🐐

When are we gonna see you take another crack at salamangreat? They have some really good combos now with princess in the game

Honestly shocked people don’t know what the paleos do. Even if they weren’t around when it was good, all the main deck paleos are N/R on master duel. Dinomischus is among the best N/R spot removal cards. You’d think people knew what it did

I love this deck it looks so much fun

I love the fact that the chat said multiple times " so when are the floodgates coming" bc they see traps -> floodgates But its paleo, u dont play any floodgates its basically all interaction ( ofc some list can play it, but the playstyle is way more controle than stun)

great deck !
