For those of you who miss the pack openings, consider checking out my new series: The Deck Devastation Challenge! That show has a ton of pack openings sprinkled throughout the episode, in addition to some REALLY silly duels with super janky decks. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fcxkdayayLDLaJc.htmlfeature=shared

this thumbnail is easily the most cursed image youve ever made, and ive been around since the original yugipoops well done joe :)

You deprive me of my beloved pack openings under the guise of shortening the episode and then dared to make it 3 hours long anyways?

That thumbnail is what Hardleg's reaction is gonna be when they finally ban Maxx C

Opening 10 packs at the same time is good. Cutting it completly would be a loss though.

Thunder dragon fusion mentions "cards on the field", but the fusion itself requires monsters, so IN THE BACKROOOMS YOU STAY

The fact that the Tear Pile player managed to hit you with two roaches and mill a hundred cards, getting into prime OTK position... only to lose because he didn't read Ancient Fairy Dragon's effects... is the most 'modern yugioh player' thing I ever witnessed.

I was really hoping for a rolling snake-eyes joke in the intro. Looking forward to watching though.

It said destroy a hundred cards and I was like, "Oh no! Not during the deck devastation!" forgot which series I was watchin'! Thanks for the great content joe

I hope the next climb is something more jank. I like seeing Joe succeed but I feel more invested in Rooting for the deck when it's like Egyptian Gods or springans or something like that. Great episode anyway though. I do like the pack openings btw, but they're not required either. I'm one of the people that prefer the longest episode you can make. I listen with my headphones at work so I want to get the most content I can. I suppose I should probably shut up or move up from one dollar to 10 on the patreon to vote on the deck. I really want to see dracoslayer or dinosaurs. Thanks for what you do Joe. It brings me so much time of entertainment and countless laughs and smiles.

I love editing such a great episode

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with long episodes. If there are 4- 4 1/2 hours of content that you think deserves to be in the episode then it should be that long. Likewise if you think there’s only 3 hours of content that deserves to be in then it should be 3 hours long. I understand wanting to keep the episodes at a certain length but I don’t think it should come at the expense of interesting duels and/or pack openings or deck updates.

"son of a birch! *glup*" almost made me spill my pepsi LMFAO the edits keep getting better SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE EYEEEEEESSS! I love this series; good stuff as usual Joe!

Editing is really good and fun on this one, which is specially funny because it goes the extra mile in every moment EXCEPT the time Hardleg said he could be creative and do anything for the transition lmao

I love the pack openings pls keep them

Hey Hardleg! Great video man, watched this while i was busy at work, it was great to listen to. I have a little bit of a meme to recommend. You know the Koala deck from Yugioh GX? I'd love to see something competitive made out of that lol.

This is the best intro you ever came up with. Keep up the great work being watching you since Mr bones wild ride.

sinful spoil of jumpscares - hardleg

Ah yes Snake-Eyes, the first going 3rd deck in the game

This series definitely helps with learning how to play the various decks. It’s the whole reason I picked up Generaider and developed a love for Libromancer. Happy to see it back!

joes refusal to wear greenscreen friendly shirts is iconic

Hi Hardleg. Thank you for showcasing this deck. As a new player it helps a lot to see you play it. Now I have a better idea how to play against it. I also honestly want to try learning the deck because it seems like a really fun and flexible deck that allows for a good amount of mistakes.

the field spell allows you to summon the opponents monsters in the spell zone as well to your side of the field. so it works like a slow snatch steal as well. taking the ladies of the labriynth is fun

Good to see this in my notifications after binging the other ladder climb episodes all this week. This is gonna be fun.

I like the pack opening because it gives some familiarity with the cards you are playing, as someone who has never played myself I Like to see the cards sortof one by one when you get them and talk about them. Still enjoyed the video=)

Man, the editing quality on these knows no bounds.

Must say I took me only 3k gems to get all but 1 diabestar(Which I crafted :D). My best pull was triple wanted and 1 poplar in single 10x pull :D

You know watching these duela have really just made me wonder why they ever made snake eyes. Like it is too too good. Unfathomably so. I hate that it feels like it’ll be a trend to have a tier 0 deck every year now. Especially if they’re this type of deck. I truly can’t wait for it and the diabellstar engine itself to get hit super hard.

I really REALLY love this series because its like the Yugioh equivalent of evolution by survival of the fittest, grinding through all the ranks, finding the most usefull deck in a certain arquetipe. It helped me a lot to get in the game by following the Gothi episode and really understanding what my new favorite deck of all time can do.

It's kinda crazy how dragon rulers are basically back and now we have basically dragon rulers 2 diabellstar boogaloo. Tier 0 and there are not a lot of easily splashable counters.

Hard leg is trying to become the new face of my nightmares with this thumbnail.

Really hoping you see this HLJ, but from testing I've been doing, Zombies actually play really well into Snake-Eyes since if'n you didn't know if they make Eldlich a continous spell in the back row, both conquistador and Huaqaro still get their effects. Also Doomking really hurts them. Maybe look into it and share your thoughts?

Also, as someone who did his first Master Climb with Ancient Warriors back during the Tear 0 era, seeing how many of the level 10 questions were randomly dedicated to my favorite archetype made me feel weirdly vindicated.

Eyyy, nice to see you cover this deck. I do agree that going more towards pure linkage might make it easier to pilot, but I will still try to shove Acadonda + DPE package in there to help with the destroy 5 cards missions.

You can turn watching this into a drinking game by taking a shot every time he sings the "I wanna be popular" bit and it ends up being a pretty nice night.

We’re so back!

I can already feel the absolute salt from the 20 minute + combos.

I'm watching specifically because you do an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating the play-style of a deck. I've even picked up a few archetypes cause of these ladder climbs, like Generaiders!

The standard Snake Eyes deck is pretty good, but the handtrap wars get boring pretty quickly. I played Snake Eyes Sky Striker with no handtraps, inspired by the deck played by Joshua Schmidt, during the duelist cup and got a 15 game win streak during the event. Also not sure if the matchmaking takes into account that I wasn't playing Maxx "C", but I almost didn't see it while playing this deck. It was pretty fun to break boards with Triple Tactics Thrust, Cosmic Cyclone, Enemy Controller, Forbidden Droplet and of course the sky striker cards.

In the Master Duel swamp looking for that 20ft python. YOINK!

One other option was dinomorphia, I hope Joe does that at some point

A funny detail, unless there is a ruling I haven't found, I think that Flamberge can bypass proper summoning of extra deck monsters, because it makes them into spell cards and then summons from the spell/trap zone this may allow actions like pitching a Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon or Unchained Abomination via Extra Foolish Burial or Cyberdark Claw, then using Flamberge Dragon to make that monster a spell card on your turn and then summon it on the opponent's turn. I don't expect this to be a very useful play but it would be funny to see somebody pull it off if it works.

The way i personally do pack openings is i skip most of them, but i go through them one at a time whenever there is an unusual number of SR and UR glows

Terrifying thumbnail, thanks for the content Hardleg c: Also, I want me pack openings back wäääh

soy-tsu is hilarious, excellent stuff this episode legman jim

It’s good to be back

There is so much gas in this deck that Initial D opening started playing

That thumbnail is amazing. The editing was also top notch.

As a proud member of The Runick Order and consulting the high council of The Order, we'd like to issue the following statement: "We here members of The Runick Order do solemnly apologise for the actions of one "Bakr", Stun players are a disgrace to our order of using Runick to make incredibly fun and interesting decks such as Runick Fur Hire, Runick Spright, Runick Prisoners and more importantly Runick Ghoti, we can only apologise and excommunicate this person from our esteemed order" Sincerely The Runick Order. P.S Welcome back Joe.

I got my comfy socks on, a bunch of fluffy pillows, and a few hours to watch Ladder Climb. Let's do this.

The first 15 seconds 😂😂😂😂 great intro🙌🏽

One thing I’ve been doing with snake eyes that makes it kinda fun imo is rescue ace snake eyes. Something funny about a fire hydrant being the core of the board.

I think the pack openings being skipped to the end but still going over the cards pulled quickly is a good compromise for these ladder climb videos. I watched a lot of the vods and these edited ladder climbs are a great way to experience them and I am one of the viewers who learns a lot of the decks in the game by watching these.

24:40 Kurikara is BEEG

Curious to see how this climb measures against Tearlament, hopefully Joe gets a stomp, hes earned it.

got a guilty conscience from playing snake eyes so I mixed metalfoes in which resulted in such a fun and high ceiling puzzle deck with basically so much gaz that your true enemy is the clock and not your opponent, as well as maxx c and droll of course. going through beyond the pendulum + electrumite/astrograph putting down a vortex dragon, savage dragon, early apolousa or, depending on hand and opponents interaction, all of them before even normal summoning snash is just crazy. PLUS mithrilium is basically the most explosive combo piece for princess you can get your hands on, almost too explosive tbh. its got just endless non linear combos, didnt have that much fun with a deck in a long time

I thought you took a month off for health reasons? Are you ok? Did the surgery go well?

Thirdleg Joe never fails to fill me up with content

I think if you just have the pack openings with clips if you hit relevant cards to the deck you're building is probably the best middle ground for it because they do improve the deck building section experience IMO. Also Poplar not having an "if this card is summoned by its own effect" clause on its search effect is the most insane card design I've seen in a minute.

you can spell S E X on the board using snake eyes monsters (with one in defense mode). That's the tier zero deck.

man when fire kings come out in master duel.

I enjoy the pack openings, but I do see how they add to the workload for the editor. Maybe just a separate video that's just pack openings to see your luck (or lack thereof)?

1:07:25 "I don't want to be like, the max c guy" - The max c guy 2024

Never before have I seen Hero kid hit with so many handtraps and called by

Heads: 20 Tails: 11 I knew there was a reason all my snake-eyes opponents seem to go first. It's cause they are!

HARDLEG UCHIHA IS HERE, HECK YEAAAH!

Ngl I wish Ghoti had their new stuff in MD, been playing it at locals and full power Ghoti can cause so much interaction with your opponent that game 2 or 3 with soul absorption you just win for time against snake eyes because every interaction your resolving between 5-9 chains going off

While I enjoy the pack openings, I completely agree that out of all parts of the ladder climb videos, it’s the smart choice to cut short.

1:43:35 I can't believe one of my Matias brethren would take 2 hours to make a move, then again knowing the time Joe streams at they were probably falling asleep, if they're from one of the latam timezones then it was probably a bit late (but not horribly late) and if they're from the Spanish timezone then it would have been like 3 to 5 am

wow! So ghost bell is the answer!

#KEEP_THE_PACK_OPENING

we need the pack opening joe

Saving the ash fir the maxx c in Duek #36 is a 200 iq move

Birch does tag out, but only on the oppenents turn. Good recovery tool if you lose flamberge early

I am absolutely convinced that skipping opening gives you worse pulls 😂😂😂

I think i could see why if hardleg doesnt, and i hope that does not happen, get that many views in this video. Most of the joy, in my opinion, is of hardleg managing to get far with decks by playing unconventional decks, or just plain ol' rogue decks, because is fun to see the meta crumble, and prove that it can crumble, by decks that are not the most optimized for the current ladder climb. And while this video shows really cool plays and the clever ways he plays around disruptions against other players, it doesnt feel as special because "He is playing the best deck in the format, and it does by default manage to play around anything with some moderate thinking on how to operate it" With that said i might be wrong, I have to wait and see if the numbers hardleg gets here and see if they are around the same as the tearlament climb he did. With that said I know his patreon mostly voted for this deck not because of being a fun rogue or meta deck, but more so his community can understand more how snake-eyes works.

2:58:29 Maxx C 2 Gammas Nibiru. Ouch I feel that pain man

I wanna see Hardleg make master 1 using a maxx C challenge deck. Prove it deserves to be banned

Editor popped off on this video

I used evenly matched on snake eyes and won with a dark magician deck and loved every minute of it 😅😅

I don't really like the fact that you're playing the deck that I despise but I respect you for doing what the patrons say. That said, snake-eyes can eat a snake.

The Popular song is driving me crazy.

2:35 exactly why I clicked back to this video!

I watch this series because of pack opening. pls keep them

*Casually goes +5 in response to Lightning Storm* Hmm, yes, fun and fair.

🎵Charles in Charge🎵 played in my head every, single, time, 😅

I had the exact same trouble with this pack, I swear the Noble Knight stuff and Crimson Dragon were weighted lol

Og hardleggers will remember the snake rain and reptile DBCs I was wondering where u heard that "snake eyes" audio clip. #slatt

The Backrooms are a scary place. Some monsters visit and never return

I climbed using tear this month. I honestly didn't face much snake-eye. Snake eye is the best deck, but it isn't that much stronger than the other stuff so the meta is pretty diverse. 22:50 they may not have played into the imperm if they had summoned a monster first. I don't bother playing around imper with my spell placements if I don't have a monster on board, but I play around it if I do.

I just formally wanna say "HI" to No-Legs and Kritter :D Also... really?! The Sonic drowning....brah lolz

personally joe i liked the pack openings it was fun to watch your reactions to it your personality opeing packs is something i love, but if it save you time editing and/or money to do it this way im fine with it but lease at least do one per vid :)

the best part of snake eye is that you can just play blaze fenix ftk for like three slots and if it doesn't work you're still playing the best deck in the game very fair and balanced

i know hind sights 2020 and all but honestly the game at 1:00:00 against Rikka you should have just drop the rock even if they had a Negate, just to get rid of it since it shuffles back in the chance that you did draw your starter.

Toss a coin to your Hardleg, o' snake-eyes a-plenty

How do we vote or suggest a deck for the next month?

Another video where Joe sells me storming mirror force? Maybe ....

With that intro.... It be mighty fine time you redo master climb but with Tearlaments post all bans. Test new synchron strategy or super poly one. Honestly deck is stil solid but most importantly is extremely fun to play and engineer.

Little sad that for Thumbnail and Intro there wasn't him rolling "Snake-Eyes" on a pair of dice. That would have been perfect.

Ive mentioned this before but i really think you should change the coin toss counter to how many times you win going first and going second to actually see how much the coinflip matters. Youre gonna have around equal coin tosses by the end so its pretty pointless to have it like this (also you can calculate it with what i suggested anyways)
