"Let me paint you a picture." *Takes 8000 damage*

Rarran: this card is broken Stevie: let me paint you a picture Rarran: *coughs blood*

"Does it win you the game" *now you're thinking like a true yugioh player*

Rarran: This is broken Stevie: So..., let's me paint you a picture.

Hearthstone Players: "The power creep in our game is absurd!" Yugioh Players: "Hold my Tier 0 format."

I love how you see Rarran slowly devolve into the yu gi oh player mindset. "This doesn't negate or disrupt anything? This card's garbage"

Stevie's dry wit and Rarran's energy is a fantastic combination

You can imagine the yugioh extra deck as battlegrounds quests. You can pre-select which 15 quests you want at the start of the game and they give you a reward if you complete them. These quests can be very specific like "have three creatures of these exact names" or be very broad like "have 2 creatures with the same tribe"

“Unfortunately, Konami is still a company” I effin’ died.

Fun Fact: the three effects of Triple Tactics Talent are based on three of the most broken spell cards in Yugioh. Draw 2 Cards is Pot of Greed, the monster steal is Change of Heart and the hand shuffle is The Forceful Sentry

When Stevie says "Let me paint you a picture" you already know what's gonna go down lol

Destructive Darma is actually good. It gets around monsters that say "unaffected by other cards"

"You don't need to know anything about formats or archetypes to know if these cards are good" - "this card would be great if these 3 cards werent banned" i am larfing

Daruma Cannon definitely isn't the worst trap. Especially with Labrynth in the format, the card isn't awful

Stevie: "Let me paint you a picture" Rarran: "Okay but theoretically..." "Okay but in a vacuum..."

Finally more of this It's funny that i used to play only Yu-Gi-Oh before rarran started making these. They are how i found out about rarran and also started playing Hearthstone

Me: Dr. Stevie, did my dad make it? OK, SO LET ME PAINT YOU A PICTURE ...

Rarran: "This card MUST be broken." Stevie: *Activate Ignatz critical hit*

As soon as I saw Ghost Sister & Spooky Dogwood I thought "Come on! There's no way he knows about time rules." Throwing that one in at the end feels so mean but only because Stevie said at the beginning that there wouldn't be any cards that referenced stuff Rarran wouldn't know about.

What on earth am I hearing about Karma Cannon? It's nowhere near one of the worst traps lmfao. That is one of the most shortsighted things I have ever heard in one of these videos. The special thing about this card is the second part "then, if either player controls a face-up monster(s), they must send all face-up monsters they control to the GY." This alone makes the card one of the very, very few outs to cards (notable others being Kaijus/Lava Golem etc.) that have built in protection. Having this as a trap option gives trap decks a relatively simple out to many things that are a nightmare to deal with otherwise. Things like an IP Masquerena'd Avramax, which is untargetable and cannot be destroyed by card effects, and you can't even run over it by battle. Flip this and it's gone (as well as every other Link in the game regardless of what protection it has). A trap deck might literally have no other option to get rid of that outside of Lava Golem etc. Another example is BLS-Chaos Soldier. It will also completely wipe a Dinosaur players board if they used Miscellaneousaurus. It might not be a premier option vs current decks but the card has a very unique use case (especially for a trap) and is also incredibly versatile in general. Also, locking materials face-down is very often better than destroying them, since most decks cannot interact with their own monsters if they are face-down, whereas they can usually do stuff with them if they are in the graveyard or if their field is cleared. I would say this is definitely a tech option for Labrynth as they have incredible Normal Trap access, and situations can come up where you have to out something that cannot be targeted/destroyed, and this bypasses all of that. Skill Drain of course will generally take care of stuff like that (besides cards that are unaffected by everything if they are on the field first) but it's not a Normal Trap and would have to be hard drawn and active in advance. This is a nice option to have in the toolbox of traps for Lady to search in case you run into something like that. And most of what I have said is just specifically talking about the secondary effect, not even the primary effect of the card which can end turns on its own (especially vs stuff like Kashtira if they didn't just hard draw Birth). Really disappointed to see this card trashed like that. Rarran was much closer with the "other cards are more powerful", especially with the primary effect being overshadowed by the upcoming Weight Measuring card, but the fact remains that the secondary effect is still extremely unique and something to keep in mind. This card is much, much better than Torrential Tribute considering the current state of the game. Book of Moon was not at 1 for years for nothing.

Rarran killin it as always , keep it up big man!

Rarran energy is something else. I recognise myself in any feat, the stoned asfuck Dekkster, the cynical/daddy/nerd vibe of Roffle, the guy who played way too much Kripp side, and all of those match very well with Rarran 100% the dude you want as a friend in real life

It is not one of the worst trap ever printed, it’s actually really nichely good , not close to being the worst card

I wonder if Rarran's opinion of Keldo would've changed if Stevie had pointed out that the previous (and very good) card shown was an EARTH Fairy that mentions 'Exchange of the Spirit'

Stevie and rarrans interactions are so funny because rarran finds Stevie so funny. I would love to see a video somehow that combines all the community extras. Like sunny and snappster and Stevie all together playing some weird stupid card game to see who it's hardest and easiest for. Feel like that would be a banger.

Me: Hey I just moved into my new place and my walls look really bland, can you help me out? Stevie: Let me paint you a picture

Daruma is still pretty good, just not in a fusion format when facedowns can be used.

I love how he says destructive Daruma Karma cannon is "one of the worst cards ever printed" an it toped in the European Championship this year, cant be that bad

imagine claiming TT powercreeps Daruma Cannon when TT cannot get rid of anything with destruction protection

The cannon trap card sees play in Labyrinth decks at a ycs, its really not that bad as he made it out to be

I hope Rarran does more stuff with Stevie. They have great on-camera chemistry!

5:18 Stevie is wrong about Daruma Cannon. The card IS good, it's just a niche card, currently only seeing play in OCG Labrynth decks. The same can be said for Torrential Tribute, and Daruma Cannon is arguably better because it sends the monsters instead of destroying them, and it can be activated whenever you want as opposed to a specific trigger window. It also has weird language that forces your opponent to send the monsters so it bypasses trap immunity. Stevie paints cards in a specific framework (like with Dogwood), so it was frustrating to see he wasn't consistent with this card.

Today's phrase... 'Let me paint you a picture" *suspense sounds of regret*

Stevie: Bob Ross of the Yugioh world - painting so many pictures.

I feel like all the times Stevie goes "Everyone thought this card would be great, but..." should count as wins for Rarran. Bro doesn't even play yugioh but he has the same thought process as people who do, but doesn't actually get to test his theories.

I honestly think you'd do well to invite someone like MBT on to do one of these. He's the best content creator for actually explaining the nuances of the game deeply, but in a way that is very easily digestible for new players or even non players

the ghoti synchro and guardian chimera are equally good. The only problem is that guardian chimera has more support that helps summon it while ghoti syncho has only crap support. It's a bit hard to him to guess which is good or not solely based on the card by itself while not being aware of what kind of supports are out there. If one day fishes become broken, the synchro will become good just like how manequin cat became good after sprights made level 2s OP.

I don't know how it happened, but Rarran basically became the card games channel for me. I really love the variety of things you do and card ratings are always a smash.

Rarran: This card must be good Stevie: Hello, I'm Bob Ross and i'd like to welcome you to the joy of painting.

The Ishizu cards are absolutely nuts. I can't try to explain how powerful milling 5 or shuffling 3 is. There is a banned card called Chaos Ruler which is way harder to make and also mills 5. Meanwhile kelbek basicly is free to set up. Even after the new banlist the Ishizu cards will probably see play in GY decks in the future.

Destructive Daruma Karma Cannon IS technically an out to unaffected monsters. It's unaffected by the flip down effect, then your opponent is forced to send it off.

Please keep doing this series! There’s so many crazy wacky cards in the game.

My favorite part was when Stevie said "its picture painting time" and totally painted a picture all over Rarran

god I love this series I really wanna see more overlap between card games

"Daruma cannon is one of the worst trap cards ever printed" - Stevie this game has 20 years calm down doood

more of my favorite type of Rarran video, always love to see these!

i dont this guy is a reliable source for what cards are considered good

I love this series always happy to see it!

The nods to Fantano's NOT GOOD made me laugh so hard. Feeling a strong 9 on this video.

Like how he gave a pretty percise evaluation of keldo even tho he didnt know what keldo can search :D

I've been waiting for this. Can't wait to see how many cards Rarran would underestimate.

I am a long time yugioh player, and if you showed me daruma cannon for the first time I would think "This card is pretty decent, so bassically this trap can destroy monsters unnaffected by card effects? sick!"

Love these videos! You guys should do more!

Having Stevie hosting this is so infuriating. His definition of a good card basically is "does it see play in every tearlament list"

Calling torrential better than daruma in modern yugioh is kapp. You'd rather clog up the zones and return cards to deck after than sending everything into the grave

So glad there's a new part of this

This collab with Bob Ross was crazy So many pictures painted

Daruma Karma Cannon is actually solid, wtf. There's monsters that are unaffected by literally everything that this outs. It's not crazy or busted but it's a solid out for decks with certain uber bosses.

what i've learned today: let me paint u a picture! :D great vid..i really like the ''guess how good the card is-videos'' with Stevie.

He said big fan at the end of the big fan card. Ok I'll go to sleep now lmfao

8:31 Reminder here: while Ghoti of the deep beyond is not generically usable its part of an archtype where its gameplan revolves around synchro summoning on your opponent's turn where its " banish the whole field" effect kicks in and the Ghoti arhctype actually has cards meant ot facilitate this summon.

Yay, more of this. Love this content. Pretty insightful for me too.

I've been really enjoying your recent videos, this stuff is quality content 👌

Rarran, your content has singlehandedly brought me back to hearthstone. Engaging, funny and energetic. Love from Toronto!

Ghoti of the Deep Beyond is a really good card. The archetyp around it isn't all that good, but the card itself is insane and if we ever get a good way of summoning it then this card will see a lot of play. So I think that wasn't really a fair question.

Rarran: sees the word Fish "FEESH"

Kinda wish we have more of these with Shadowverse.

We need more of this 😂😂😂

I like how Rarran's problem is just underestimating how extreme the power creep in yugioh is. Any other card game and he'd be right 100% of the time.

Please, always include Price of the card in these. Was so intersting to see the price of the first. It could work with magic cards also

Stevie saying "let me paint you a picture" has the same energy as that one "so anyways I started blasting" Danny DeVito meme

A card only needs to read "you win the game on the spot" if it's inconsistent. If you can always get to a card and it goes maybe +1, that's crazy, but if it's just a random situational card that goes +1, that's not good enough.

I love how Rarran's friends pray for him to get cards right, and Rarran prays for his friends to botch their guesses so he can get the thumbnail. Friendship is so wonderful.

That last card reminds me of the time I played a hearthstone tournament where everyone and their dog brought control warrior for the conquest format. Easily 1 hour plus mirrors or games leading to the turn cap. It was miserable and every game was streamed as well so all the viewers would see were 6 guys sitting in a room for so darn long doing hero power, play the least impactful card, end turn.

Stevie out here like a damn Bob Ross with all his painting of pictures

3:59 “Big Fan” joke entirely unacknowledged. Had me spinning.

With all those pictures you painted, you could fill an entire art gallery. You must be a great artist.

I like Stevie's attack voice line "Let me paint you a picture".

Dude was painting more pictures than Picasso lol

Personally, these videos are very interesting to watch. However Steve, although being a semi-wellknown yugituber doesn't always have correct reasoning for whether or not a card is good or not. With the example of Ultimate slayer, the card is a very good card, it is simply format dependent instead of it being bad because of deckbuilding commitments. I look forward to Rarran colabing with other more competitive yugitubers in these kinds of videos.

meme: fish rarran: feesh

whenever Stevie Says, "let me paint you a picture" I can already tell there's a fun little anecdote coming up to put Rarran in place

I love the interaction between you two :D And tbh as someone who dabbled in both hearthstone and yugioh, I think your question "does that card win me the game?" sound pretty reasonable as criterion to judge them :D I hope you will remember next time you do this kind of video :D (I didn't finish the video yet, so I dunno if he says something about that at the end)

Stevie brought an absolutely despicable energy to this episode and I mean that as the highest form of praise

Stevie’s facial reactions are also just fucking hilarious

it is funny Daruma Karma Canon is now a mandatory card in one deck. like it is now one of the best traps

I accidentally found Yu Gi Oh biggest fans , these two critique this game more then normal fans

As a non YGO player, a rule of thumb that I like to use is: if a card allows me to draw more than 1 card, it's probably good or godly broken

Rarran can open an art gallery with how many pictures Stevie painted for him

Honestly, Destructive Daruma Karma Cannon doesn't seem like a bad side deck card. If your opponent has monsters that are unaffected by card effects, they would stay face-up on the field, which would mean that your opponent would have to send all of their monsters to the graveyard. This is considered "non-destructive removal," which is a pretty valuable effect in yugioh

the sorting algorythm cracks me up every single time ahhahahaha

"so hear me out" "let me paint you a picture"

Don't forget that Keldo searches you Kelbek in order to special summon itself.

They jump over the biggest focus of Triple Tactics Talent: All the three effects come from BANNED cards

Funny thing in Yu gi oh fast forward 6 months now daruma Canon is one of the strongest side options out there for the tier 1 Decks

Hey Rastafarian, you asked in a recent stream what some of our favorite content was and all of these type of videos are the best imo, hope to see a lot more!😊

So many picture were painted I forgot this wasn't a Bob Ross video for a moment there

I think Stevie is obligated to show Rarran a Weather Painter card at this point.

3:59 "big fan" if that was intentional well played sir

"Let him paint" I love this phrase
