U ok bro?

Oh.....😔

@@jemma2607 Oh yeah I just thought it was funny

This feels like one of those divorce bits that you would see in DougDougs twitch chat

"will you marry me?" "Ummm cost?" *Buys ring* "Solemn Judgement."

"if" he makes a video, it'll be good

@@SuperPoly25 theoretically, if you had a boyfriend, i would hypothesize that he does not kiss you

@@SuperPoly25 lol

Amen brother!

No joke this missing the timing thing is the biggest thing holding me from getting into the game. I played master duel for a bit and it would handle this for me though

I'mwaiting flip monster mechanic how this mechanic are super useful in early yugioh now it become useless.

@@xenonim the flip mechanic is more of a requirement, the effect were decent and people played them cause there were not really a lot of better choice. People stop playing them because monsters got 10x better effect without requirement.

@@robinlinh still a good to make documentary to make about it. The fall of flip monster.

That's hilarious. You manage to get lucky enough to open Eatos and the Celestial Sword, have no monsters in GY, summon Eatos, use its effect to send the Sword to the GY to banish 3 in their GY (because of course you went 2nd and got lucky), and you don't even get the main boost of 500 for each banished monster, that only happens if the equip spell is sent? Oh, sorry WHEN the equip spell is sent. Lol All you get rewarded for having the stars align is the ability to have a 2500 vanilla and 3 banished monsters from their GY. Oh no! Konami was concerned an inconsistent mediocre attack boost was too strong in 2014. Either they didn't realize they messed up, or they did realize, but don't feel like giving it an errata (the card was reprinted in 2020), or just hate Raphael for beating their mascot and are that passive aggressive they can't even give him a fighting chance. Personally, I think their bias is showing, which is funny as can be! They are so stubborn when it comes to errata's, it makes it look like they just don't care about their products, which, based on Castlevania and Silent Hill...eh? Oh well, maybe someone should start a petition to fix this. lol

They had to make something about Eatos utterly incompetent to keep with the theme of the Guardian archetype.

Eatos is barely a Guardian because of it. All other Guardians require their equip spell to be already on the field. Eatos just does its own thing.

I was devastated when the ruling was you pretty much always miss the timing with its effect. I was so happy when Eatos came out because she looked so cool but crushed when it doesn't exactly worked the way it should. Feels bad man.

Guardians were a mess of an archetype so frankly it changes nothing.

I really need the first. I'm a new player and I play Labrynth. The extra deck is basically ammo fir the pots.

Same I rarely play

@CedricDones-ej4kx atm can't afford to

isnt that like 90% of the pack filler/overhype secret rare?

For the worst, that would be most of the early GX era cards. Konami were really scared back then after the Chaos meta lol

@@hoangnguyen0721 I have no idea. Most of my modern knowledge of Yu-Gi-Oh actually comes from this channel.

Sparks and Hinotama first released in the same pack

It’s a “you can” so you would be able to just not activate it even if it didn’t miss timing

Why would you want it to miss timing?

@@17-MASY Utopia Double can only use his effect if you have at least one copy of Double or Nothing in your deck.

@@ace-trainer-aj So you don't want to draw that card with Xyz change tactics

@@17-MASY Ideally speaking, nope.

All gustos really. I used to do sync spam a lot back in the dueling network days when I didn't know any better. I really wish they were "if" effects

It wasn’t a balancing thing at first. It really was just arguments that lead to rulings. With modern printings, you can tell they put “when” in some cards to balance them, but that wasn’t the original intent. A lot of early Yugioh was all over the place with card text not being consistent with language. That created other unbalanced things like hard once per turns and soft once per turns because of the language usage. Now there are things like Mirrorjade’s “this card” with its banishing effect meaning if you can actually recycle the effect as many times as you can get “this card” on and off the field. Or Baronne’s “once while face-up on the field, when a card effect is actived” which can be recycled as long as you send Baronne back to the extra deck and then summon it again.

Konami has really written themselves into a corner with card text rulings. Same with non-targetting targets, like a destruction effect on a specific card that doesn't count as target for effect purposes. Or the infamous send to Graveyard (from field) not being a destruction. They probably have to rewrite the entire game to fix all their mechanics and balance them out.

I assume most changes to the game was because people got upset to losing all the time I.e banlists, needing a dictionary to play

@@kotzpenner As far as I can tell, the "send to graveyard" not being destruction was a genuinely intended mechanic, rather than a ruling/translation clusterfuck. Like, it's to destruction effects what "banish facedown" is to banish effects; it's either a steeper cost / anti-cheese mechanic or an intentionally stronger effect.

It's become a balancing thing in more recent years, especially in regards to cards like Thunder Dragon Titan who'd be completely ridiculous if you couldn't chain block its effect

There's also limit overdrive which admitedly cannot be searched, but it allows you to special summon it just by using 2 monsters. Although both monsters need to be synchro tuner and synchro non tuner.

Yeah but also Kali Yuga stops spells and traps

@@one-up7498 well...king calamity also stops them since it prevents activations and effects, unless you mean kali yuga's effect to also heavy storm the field, thing king calamity cannot do, which i do grant is a point i didn't mention on my first comment if you interpret advantages as a whole, but since the video only talks about its activated effect to prevent activations and effects being able to miss the timing, i focused there as a point of comparison

@@Megalopros no, true king doesn’t stop spells and traps from activating on the field while Kali Yuga does

@@one-up7498 i mean...sure, as the scenario described by the video explains, if you chain a formula to a raigeki, king calamity will miss timing unlike the rank up thing with kali yuga, but if king calamity's effect resolves properly then your opponent just cannot activate cards, this effectively stops spells and traps from activating on the field (which is what you specifically typed), it is just that they way they do it is different, kali yuga negates everything that hits the field, so a raigeki will get negated, whereas king calamity prevents the activation of cards so the raigeki will stay on the hand because it cannot be activated, but you can qualify both as being able to stop the activation of spells and traps on the field. (also i assume "true king" in your reply is a typo)

@@Megalopros wait, we probably aren’t talking about the same cards I’m talking about “D/D/D Duo Dawn King Kali Yuga” and “True King of all Calamities”

Yeah, I remember running into so many of these needless issues in real tournaments. Missing the timing really seems like it has no benefit, it's like Konami moving the goalpost. You finally came up with a cool strategy? Too bad, it sucks because it misses the timing. Thankfully most modern cards avoid that text, so that is one step in the right direction, though playing around cards like that was like some kind of surgery, so maybe it's what we need to counter these unbreakable boards.

Yep. Chaining arc dragon to absolutes fun. Just need to remember who to chain to who lol.

In some of the old yugioh video games, the AI will chain mst to their own geartown to try to get the effect and then get confused when the effect doesn't activate.

Thats an OCG - TCG difference. In the OCG, you were always able to draw a Card if Poison Draw Frog is destroyed by battle while face down. In the TCG it got this weird restriction that it does not work like this. The Video Games uses the OCG Rulings but the TCG Texts. So its very confusing.

It does, for example if you use vw lulu to summon her and then add something you can't use torrential after the summon In cases like this where the summon isn't the last thing to happen torrential can't be activated

@@andrejv.2834 I think that is what I said, you have to respond to the summon, if you add then is too late but that's not missing the timing. From what I understand missing the timing is when you activate the effect but it doesn't resolve because is no the last thing that happened in the chain, but I could be wrong.

@@Ragnarok540 yeah torrential basically misses the summon response window in this case, but ig it's kinda similar so it was included

The summoning itself took the timing from Cliff. Happens with Gustos all the time. Basically the synchro summon happens immediately after Cliff got sent to the gy so Cliff misses it's timing. idk if this helps but I hope so

Missing doesn't always require chains. Naturia Cliff also misses if it dies to Soul Taker because it gets destroyed, "then" you gain 1000 LP.

I learned it because of Yubel in Duel Links. The floating effects of the base form and the first evolution can miss timing. I was SO confused when that happened. I thought the game was broken. Ok, truth be told, there have been quite a few errors in the game. Some might only be laziness upon translation, but it's still funny to see that. For example one of Yami Bakura's skills lets you mill a card from either deck when YOUR OPPONENT loses at least 1000 LP. The text in the German version says that YOU have to lose 1000 LP.

Are there that many cards that copy effects? I know 2 of them are forever banned and 1 is super restricted (Phantom of Chaos)

@@andreaseverin1346 Not too sure, which is why I'm interested. TheDuelLogs has a video titled, "Top 10 Cards That are Treated As Another Name In YuGiOh" but I'm specifically interested in cards that copy the effect, not just a name. For example: "Pseudo Space" and "Serial Spell."

I think none of them is as strong as yazi, ignition effect solve the archetypal problem, floating effect summon entire type from the deck without restriction, untargettable so it is immune to typical targetting negations, other yang zing that come close to this is Deng Long but you can imperm deng long.

Don't get me wrong, Yazi is the one people are most familiar with thanks to Destrudo and/or Auroradon, but I think it's funny there's an entire archetype that share the ability to float and all of them can miss the timing by the effect of cards in their own archetype.

Good cards that can miss timing
