The indecisiveness over Crossout Designator is entirely rational considering the difference between it being "nobody plays it" and "it's a staple" is reliant on the presence of a single cockroach.

Here's a suggestion, show non-yugioh players a full power Tear or Kashtira mirror match and ask them if this is a good deck.

on the Danger! Nessie!, revealing nessie and discarding a card at random is not once per turn. The once per turn clause only applies to the effect of adding a non-nessie Danger! that triggers if its discarded. For example if someone negates your nessie (and doesn't destroy it from hand) you can activate it again fine, and can even special summon multiple in the same turn if you have them (and it wasn't restricted).

So what's important about Cold Wave is that even back in the day, if you had a lethal push available, you could just use cold wave to freeze all of your opponent's traps for a turn so they couldn't use them to stop you.

I love how respectful he's trying to be to the game of Yugioh. Nice to see a magic player not just crap on the game and say its ridiculous the whole video.

'there are other playable danger cards', 'i didn't say that' xD

I love this series. Seeing the Nessie this episode made me realize that for meme reasons the next time Nikachu is on this show he absolutely needs to get a Danger! card.

wouldve been interesting to see how he react to knowing all of the danger! monsters are based off of cryptids from around the world and that their sharing of the reveal and then random discard to summon themselves is essentially a jumpscare as a mechanic

Another upside for Nessie is that the card that got discarded for it to special summon itself can also have useful effects upon being sent to the graveyard, so the synergy with graveyard decks like Dark World and Tearlaments is insane.

Amano-Iwato is still used in Master Duel for Runick Stun. Making the runick fountain safe to draw with.

I remember the day my opponent got up and walked away because I played Forbidden Chalice on my own Amano-Iwato at the end phase.

An important point about Crossout Designator that many people miss is that it was used in Meta decks that had lots of space to counter their own outs while also having said outs as an option. This made it significantly more powerful in the Master Duel compared to paper formats.

Amano-Iwato still sees play. Mostly in OCG and Master Duel Runick Stun decks. I've seen some regional-topping Runick Stun decks in the TCG play the card, too, but quite as frequently

A couple corrections on the Nessie section -you did say other dangers were playable at one point so he was correct on that information -the only OPT on Nessie or any other danger is the discard effect, you can reveal as many copies of Nessie as many times as you want. The day 1 knowledge check of playing against danger is knowing that if you Ash one, it does nothing and they can simply reveal again

The good old days of turn 1 Cold Wave + set Ryko. Defeated only by the completely broken response turn of Cyber Dragon + Grand Mole 🤣🤣

I like how your explanation of counter traps was just a roundabout way of explaining the old interrupt rules

You are doing something very special with this series. I always look forward to it. Keep up the good work!

Amano Iwato basically seems like Teferi in how it shuts off your opponents interaction

Using magic rulings and cards is a great way of explaining Yu-Gi-Oh to magic players and I implore you to continue with that in this series.

Amano-Iwato saw a bit of play with Adventure because it wouldn't go back to the hand

You absolutely said there were other playable dangers

I really like his thought process and logic to figuring out how good or not a card is I'd love to have him back again, but with a couple more bait cards to see how good his analysis is

Just recently found your channel and I really appreciate that you understand both games and can effectively explain, through comparison, why a card was good or bad. I love these types of videos, but they are usually one-sided explanations that only make sense from one perspective. Thank you for bridging that gap and keep up the great videos!

You are quite good at making the bridge between magic and ygo. I love hearing how people explain these card games to others who play another card game

The reveal effect on Nessie is not once per turn, you can use it multiple times a turn. You don't usually do that because either it gets discarded or summoned, but if they ash blossom the reveal effect you just laugh and activate it again.

2:23 "there might be like traps cards that blow up the entire board" Evenly matched: allow me to introduce myself

You have definitely taken feedback into account on this episode, and I think the episode is dramatically less frustrating to watch than some of the previous ones as somebody coming from a Yugioh background. You explained the cards around the example when they were relevant without really giving it away so the guessing was fun, and gave equivalent examples for the magic guys watching so it's accessible to both sides which is appreciated. Really good job on this one! My recommendation is a card like Li-La Rap, which in addition to probably being a funny talking point, is very much a do-nothing card due to the pace of the game and the once per turn/chain but which has a burn effect that seems intimidating. Maybe throw in that the archetype it belongs to does love to summon from GY as a hint, and let them judge knowing that this card is getting used to its fullest but just kind of sucks.

also here's a example of the ocg vs the tcg for a magic player to grapple with. red eyes dark dragoon. To summarize another yugituber's video on the card's history by megacapital g, it was a absolute menace in the ocg because nothing in the card pool at the time could kill it. When it came into the tcg, there were several different cards for different strategies that could easily deal with the dark dragon.

10:36 I dont know about that one chief, most stun/stall decks still always run Amano-Iwato, check something like Runick for instance along with a bunch of floodgates like There Can Only Be One or Inspector Boarder

As a Yugioh player, Gamble might be one of the craziest cards I've ever seen (besides demonic tutor, time walk etc. ofc.)

man i love your yugioh videos its so fun seeing the confused faces of the guests

Amano-Iwato still sees play. OCG has been using it in combination with Sales Ban and HAS seen tournament play at least at some of the larger locals in Japan Good episode btw. I love watching these videos

Should’ve brought up Inspector Boarder as a bonus just to see his reaction.

31:15 The level of Danger! Nessie! does matter, because it can be used in other Level 7 decks like Kashtira or Dark Magician to summon their Rank 7 Xyz monsters.

I'm surprised the usage of Amano-Iwato in Runick wasn't mentioned. That was what got it limited to 1 in Master Duel.

I'm happy for you that you got a sponsor!

Would be nice to show them more extra deck monsters. I know youd have to do some explaining but itd be cool to see them figure out completely alien concepts

An interesting way to have more achtype cards would be say show 3 cards and ask if the archtype won a tournament. That way you an show more complex cards and have clues in how they work together. E.g show trickstar candina, holy angel and the field spell card.

You should show an MTG player some boss monsters (good and bad) and see what they think about them. I know it might be hard to evaluate them in a bubble, but I’d love to see them evaluate the effects of something like Ghoti of the Deep Beyond or Expurrely Happiness

Just a sidepoint about Danger! cards; it's only the second (triggered by being discarded) effect that can only be used once per turn. The first effect has no restrictions, so if the opponent were to ash-blossom the effect to negate it, you can simply activate the effect again when player priority returns to you.

15:07 "this stops anything" Shows Dark ruler no more.

This was a pretty good video nice work on the card selection overall. For future videos in this format I would recommend scripting important information you want to give the guest prior to filming so you can find easy to understand mechanical comparisons you want to use when you are not under the gun. Additionally I strongly recommend either avoiding cards with multiple effects like nessie or explicitly point out where each effect starts and ends in the text as yugiohs psct format isn't great at communicating that a new effect has started especially if you are conditioned to different formatting.

I love this series ngl Can't believe I subbed to an MTG channel to see some yugioh content lmao

These videos are awesome to watch and I hope this series continues! I would love to suggest a card like Reasoning or even Chicken Game if it hasn't been done yet and see what the MTG players think 🙂

Counter Traps could be analogous to the retired Interrupt card type in MTG And a little pointer about Danger! Nessie! you can activate the gamble effect as many times as you want you can activate the discard effect only once per turn this means, you can summon as many Nessie's as your luck lets you in a single turn if they pick other cards than Nessie but if they discard multiple Nessie's you can only search once

The talk during Crossout Designator about the difference between countering a spell effect and countering the activation of a spell got me thinking about the best way to translate weird YGO rules to MTG. As for that distinction, I got to the following: • normal (and quick-play) spell cards are actually sagas with only one ability, which is the card text (they enter the battlefield as a permanent, trigger their effect, and then go to the graveyard as a state-based action) • there are two ways to stop their effects: counter the saga before it ETBs (negating the activation), or counter the triggered ability (negating the effect). • A hard OPT on a spell only counts cards of that name that have ETB’d

Crossout is so slept on, card is good af with the plethora of handtraps

just one thing I wanted to point out is danger! nessie! is not actually once per turn; it's only the search effect that's once per turn. It's reallllyyyyy relevant because it means you can't blossom it or they just get to use it again.

YAY, Cold Wave hype...it's also a very old card.

Solemn Scolding's other problem is that it requires a fix price. Unlike Judgement where it wants half your LP, which makes it super flexible. With scolding? Hope it counts or hope you got healing.

Man, your Solemn Scolding explanation was perfect. Though I'd say the time it was usable was waaay longer ago than it might've been implied. You can still use this card today, but I do feel like there are more flexible cards you can put instead that are less powerful but still more generally useful. But your card explanations this episode was pretty on point in general Though I'd say the guest being right or wrong is pretty lenient lol One other thing is that I'd say Amano Iwato doesn't see that much play but still has the potential to come up randomly in some formats. Like Droll and Lock Bird is occasionally completely missing from the scene, but everybody fears its return

Funny that the magic player understood Danger! Nessie! better. You can use the first effect of all dangers as many times as you want per turn. Nessie is also at 3 on the banlist. Not restricted at all. Lots of misinformation this video.

i'd love to see Arne on the show again, he was great!

Amano-Iwato in a Prediction Princess deck can be a funny gimmick. Alternatively, if you just want many normal summons, I'd probably go for Floowandereeze, not True-Draco, but those kinda need their effects for it. Solemn Scolding is only good if your deck doesn't really use other cards you'd set in your backrow. Knowing how much people use Called By and Crossout, to counter handtraps, they sometimes end up being set as well, if they're not used in turn 1, so you can use them in turn 2, to possibly interrupt an opponent's combo, or to block their Ash if you'd start a combo on their turn.

We just need a good Spirit deck and Imano-Iwato will see play again! More Shino-Birds support! xD

Danger! Is great. Good old criptid deck.

23:55 See! I told you it works!😂

Would love to see a rating of one of my fave synchros good old swordsoul chengying and maybe the diabelstar dark witch

5:56 **insert SpongeBob "It's a roooock" clip here**

I'm pretty sure a free counter in MTG that cost 8 life would see play in every single format back to Vintage.

The stars might actually be dragon balls, yugi references dragon balls in the manga very early on, comparing them to the puzzle.

32:12 Danger! Nessie! isn't restricted on the banlist as of a few banlists ago lol

The dude seemed very confused 😂😂 I feel bad for gim lol I didnt know Cold Wave is still banned lol

"There could be trap cards that could blow up an entire board, ok, but not that powerful" I saw you clench your lips when he said that XD

They should do a archetype guessing like this like numeron networks with the gates or them purrely big/smol cats or like the shang/ariseheart combo

I think Sekka's Light is a good card for magic to guess the power level of and a meld card such as Hanweir Battlements could be a good card for YGO players to guess the power level of because it's similar to fusion monsters.

For anyone wanting to know about the Danger archetype. The “once per turn” effect only applies to the discard effect. So if you have 3 Nessie. You can still activate them to Special Summon and draw after you used the searching effect.

Imagine playing burning abyss with cold wave against something like altergeist 😂

I do wonder if Cold Wave would still be good today, like the effect is broken, but the downsides of not being able to run spells or traps are so limiting nowadays. Like I can't think of any recent good monster mash archetypes, maybe Adamancipator, or Super Heavy Sams (which coincidentally can't run it lol).

You should start these videos explaining them about archtypes

5:20 That's the entire appeal of videos like this.

Imano iwato was also played in runic

Gotta love how Magic players always get tripped up when they read "Spell card" in an effect and think it means every card

Man you gotta give someone frog the jam you'll definitely catch them with it another good one would be tierra source of destruction

Nessie isn't on the forbidden/limited list. Only jackalope and tsuchinoko are limmited to 1.

Runick stun with Amano Iwato won a tournament recently!

Saying Yu-Gi-Oh is colorless is not fully wrong, but not fully right either We do have archtypes, and overall deck themes that restrict deck building... However, Yu-Gi-Oh is indeed much more loose about cardpools

Good old flopout designator. The most painfully mid card ever.

For some reason I love Morph in magic. I love playing morph decks. I have a commander deck with kadina the slinking sorcerer as my commander Edit: Im not the best magic player but I enjoy it

Jame: Amata awano doesn't see play My runick stun opponent: nice board bro, normal summon amato awano?

Okay, recommendation for future ones, can we try showing them Pendulum monsters? Itd be funny seeing them question how it works, and why it has two different effect texts. Not to mention, there are many good and bad ones to be used.

"maybe like trap cards that blow up, I don't know, like the entire board or something maybe not that powerful? suuuuuure, there are no cards in yugioh that board wipes. * shoves a copy of mirror force, raigeki, and dark hole in my pocket*

You should get the play to win guys on this

I would enjoy seeing more Yugioh players evaluate Magic cards. Edit: Oh, also, you misunderstood the Once Per Turn on Nessie. Only the search from deck is once per turn. The reveal/discard/summon/draw effect can be used as many times as you have remaining copies in your hand. This is the case for all Danger monsters. Only their second effect is a once per turn.

Amano iwato is still staple on runick deck in ocg

We gotta show an MTG player Pole Position and Purgatrio >:)

I hope you do one of these but rather than doing it so they are guessing whether a card is seeing play or whatever they are trying to guess whether one of two cards with similar effects *Ultimat Falcon vs Apoqliphort towers* which is “better”

He said how he feels about RNG, clearly you need to show him nothing but random effects next time! Things like milling in Tear could be considered random too

Dude, Amano-Iwato is seeing a ton of play in Runick Stun variants right now and those decks are (unfortunately) doing well in tournaments and topping events often

Next time bring endymion the mighty mastet of magic just that entire text box will confuse them to oblivion

I mean, show them ursarctic radiation and some flower cardian spells and watch them get mad

i wonder how good cold wave would be in current format. just like imperial order is the effect busted but also just like order was for a long time legal because no one played spells good enough to warrant a unsearchable go first card would cold wave not see play all the time but when it is there to kill purrely oh boi does it kill purrely

The title and thumbnail hell im in Nessie as the final card and me revamping my DDW deck after Dark C. Just dropped 1 suggestion for next time HKtsutchi its a wild read if you dont know the game

I'd like to see more of the reverse, non-MtG players rating MtG cards.

"might be trap cards in the game that blow up the whole field but maybe not that powerful" no no those exist

Show non-Yu-gi-oh Players different turn 1 boards, and have them guess how many cards it takes to break them going second, or how long it took for that turn 1 to play out in a replay (master duel default replay speed)

Is he Joshua Schmidt's brother? Thats the crossover we really need!

It would be cool if you can show people an archetype or core archetype cards and let them decide if it's good

You better put Nirvana High Paladin in one of these videos

Man nice to see cold wave have had its time in the sun lol, back in the day of heavy storm, harpie's feather duster and triple MST and even giant trunade it wasn't all that great just cuz there was better stuff. As an oldie looking into modern yugioh can be as jarring as it is for mtg players lol
