Correction: For some reason, I was thinking of Chicken Game when referencing Upstart Goblin on the Gitaxian Probe segment. My mistake! Upstart is definitely still at 1. 😂

As a Magic player, this is very amusing.

I find it hilarious that even within Yugioh, mill is still called mill, despite that being named after an MTG card.

The thing is that in Magic all of these cards have a cost but you're assuming that in Yugioh you could just play them for free. If that was the case in Magic too they would also be broken.

Cimooo: "Emrakur must be banned" Emrakul, Kozilek and Ulamog: "Laughs in eldrazi"

Long time MtG player here, *-Ponder* : MtG has mana costs. so while ponder _can_ be used multiple times per turn, it'll cost you tempo. which is basically what pot of duality's restrictive clauses are designed to do as well. also Ponder is banned in modern *-Thoughtseize* : discard is one of black's claims to fame in MtG. its their "catch-all" answer. everybody hates it, but it's part of the game for a good reason. combo decks. MtG combo decks are pretty insane. *-leyline of the void* : graveyard hate is EVERYWHERE in MtG. and it's POWERFUL. basically, if your gameplan 100% relies on the yard, you'll have a bad time... unless you can be extremely fast about it. this comes mainly from a different design philosophy between the games. yugioh graveyard decks tend to be grindy control decks. MtG graveyard decks tend to be extremely aggressive, often aiming to play a bunch of stuff from the yard for 0 mana, a huge deal in MtG. there are some control decks that use the graveyard, but they have back-up plans, and they're able to set-up their graveyard at instant speed (gifts ungiven) *-Glimpse of nature* : banned in modern. also mana costs help lessen the danger of such similar effects. (also yes it stacks) *-surgical extraction* : see leyline of the void. generally only used against graveyard strategies and combo decks, otherwise it's a -1 that generates no tempo. (most of the time) *-consecrated sphinx* : yes it includes the draw phase. card doesn't see play though outside of EDH (a fairly casual format that tends to move much slower than other formats), 6 mana cards need to be winning the game, not drawing cards. also, you're misreading the effect. if your opponent draws 2 cards (desires) you'd draw *4.* they draw 3? you draw *6.* *-Dark Confidant* : standby = upkeep, yes. that said, upkeep comes before the draw phase. yea its a pretty powerful card. *-Gitaxian probe* : banned in modern. side note - i like yugioh's (general) refusal to reveal players' hands. *-Glorious end* : i don't think a card like this'll ever be that great in magic. the game is just so much slower, and perhaps more importantly, there's so many more ways to interact with your opponent during their turn. imagine if every trap/quick-spell was a hand-trap. *-Bloodbraid elf* : fun fact, cascade triggers on cast. so even if the elf gets countered (negated summon) you'll still cascade. very very powerful card. mainly because of the tempo it generates. *-Snapcaster mage* : between the abundance of graveyard hate, and mana costs slowing the game down, this guy is pretty reasonable. (still one of the best blue cards in modern though) note, you can't use this with MtG's raigeki/dark hole equivalents on your opponent's turn (wrath of god/damnation) because they're sorceries. (normal spells as opposed to quick play). you can only play instant-speed cards on your opponent's turn, the card given flashback by snapcaster keeps it's original card speed. *-ancestral recall* : mega-super-banned everywhere but vintage where it's limited (TCG traditional format basically) *-demonic tutor* : banned in legacy, limited in vintage, legal in EDH... (EDH is a 100-card-singleton format. it'll take more than 1 search to break the game.) *-Future sight* : same as consecrated sphinx, too slow. 5 mana is alot for a card that isn't winning the game/saving your life. *-Spellskite* : you nailed it, dude's sick. especially in magic, non-targeted removal is extremely rare, basically it only takes the form of board wipes. but even better... your opponent tries to buff one of their creatures? i'll take that, thank you... *-dig through time* : banned in modern and legacy, limited in vintage. legal in EDH. you called it. *-phantasmal image* : clones are fun, we've got TONS of them (almost all of them blue... you're really striking me as a blue player) this guy is the most competitive clone as he is the cheapest to summon. *-rest in peace* : see leyline of the void *-yaegmoth's will* : banned in modern and legacy, limited in vintage. legal in EDH. cards like THIS are why we have leyline of the void, surgical extraction, & rest in peace *-supreme verdict* : 4 mana kill everything is one of white's things they just do. splash of blue makes it uncounterable. ya gotta remember the mana costs here. imagine yugioh had "black hole : destroy all monsters, spell speed 4, end your turn" that's basically what this and other board wipes in MtG do. they cost enough mana that your turns just over after casting it. *-BIG GURL EMRAKUL* : welcome to MtG, if we can think of some cool shit to put on a card, we will. we have zero self control. bear in mind here, this is another 'on cast trigger' like blood braid elf. so when they cast this, you can negate the summon, but the effect still happens. you have to negate the mindslaver effect seperately. (so named for the card, Mindslaver, with the same effect. that's right, Emmy is the second card that lets you mind-rape your opponent) how is this a thing? well it costs alotta mana, if you can pull this off, and your opponent didn't prepare for it after all the set-up, you deserve to lose. not saying this wasn't competitive, it DID get banned in standard (like hearthstone standard). but these days it doesn't really show up much. (also yes, you fully control their turn) *-Time walk* : "banned" correct

Heres the thing that i feel most people dont get... 40% of an mtg deck is lands which means that our card draw is strictly weaker cause lands are required to cast spells and not have major board effects

Black Lotus, the most useless card in Yu-Gi-Oh

I played Emrakul against someone with a Sacrifice Deck once. *He basically just sacrificed all his creatures for a 1/1 Goblin and inflicted 10 damage to himself in the process.*

I feel like the biggest difference between Yugioh and Magic is the cost of a card. Yugioh, unlike most card games, doesn't have something like Mana or Energy, so you can just activate cards one after the other. A card like Snapcaster Mage takes enough mana, where you'll most likely use it in the mid to late game.

"In Yu-gi-oh, two turns is enough to end any game." In other words, a turn earlier than Glorious End can be used lol

Cimo: so that's basically a Macro Cosmos as a hand trap Konami in 2019: so check out this new promo card for the Mega Tin we came up with. Its Macro Cosmos as a hand trap...

As a heads up. The sphinx cares about each card separately. So a demise is draw 6 for you.

We so need episode 2 of this!!! :-D Here is few cards you would probably like: - Progenitus - True-Name Nemesis - Stuffy Doll - Treasure Cruise - Yawgmoth's Bargain - Emrakul the Aeon's Torn - Enter the Infinite - Doomsday - Tendrils of Agony - Cabal Therapy - Bazaar of Baghdad - Library of Alexandria There's plenty more to work with! Hope you'll give those one a go! ^^

Aw, he didn't even comment on Shahrazad.

The thing that trips me up about YuGiOh is that there's no limit to how many spell cards you can play in a turn? As a Magic player, it seems so weird to me that that's a thing, and that's the main reason the game seems as bonkers at it does. In magic, mana cost is everything. You can play one land per turn, typically, so this all seems fair to me. The fact that drawing two cards in YuGiOh is considered broken is mind boggling to me. The fact that searching a deck ONCE is considered broken is also strange. Finally, the list of cards you were given contains some powerful stuff. Ancestral Recall and Time Walk *are* considered broken in Magic, precisely because they cost so little to cast, but at higher mana costs, they're perfectly fair effects.

As a magic player, I think your friends went a little overboard with the cards they sent you. Majority of those cards are banned in Magic, where we have mana costs to balance things out even. So of course they would also be banned in Yugioh, or at least some of them. Bloodbraid Elf has recently been unbanned and I agree it would be an interesting effect in Yugioh. I think more cards on that sort of powerlevel would be more interesting.

I'm going to quickly explain whether or not these cards are actually broken in magic. But first, a little background. Magic has different formats that all have slightly different rules, usually the rules are just deckbuilding constraints. There are plenty of formats, including some vey popular fan-made ones, but the main formats are. Standard - You can only use cards released in the past 2 years or so, few cards get banned since cards "rotate" out of the format after 2ish years. Modern - You can only use cards printed since 8th edition (which released in 2003) Legacy - You can play with cards from the entire history of magic, but the most broken cards are banned Vintage - You can play with cards from the entire history of magic, no cards are banned, but the most broken cards are restricted to one per deck. Another important factor in deciding whether or not a card is broken is the mana cost. The mana cost is the numbers and colored pips at the top right. The number of colored pips tells you how much of a certain color of mana you need, while the number tells you how much extra mana you need in any other color. The "converted mana cost" of a spell is the number of pips, plus the other number. So, for example the converted mana cost of Glorious End is 3, since it costs 1 red mana and more 2 mana of any color. Mana comes from lands, you can play one land per turn. Every turn, you can use a land once to make one mana. There are ways to get more mana faster, but for the sake of simplicity, think of the converted mana cost as the first turn of the game you would reliably be able to play that card. Now, onto the cards: Ponder - Extremely good, kinda broken. Banned in modern, restricted in vintage, but surprisingly fully legal in Legacy. Thoughtseize - Extremely good. Not banned anywhere, but a staple in modern and legacy. Leyline of the Void - Not broken, this card does nothing but hose graveyard decks, so it'll never be in your maindeck since it's a dead card most match-ups. Magic allows players to have 15 cards on the side of their deck (called a sideboard) that they can swap in and out of their dec after the first game of a match. This card will basically only ever be in the sideboard, and gets swapped in against graveyard decks. Glimpse of Nature - Pretty broken. mainly because it only costs 1 mana, making it very easy to play multiple creatures afterwards that turn. (and yes, if you play multiple in a turn they do stack). Banned in modern, the most important card in Legacy Elves, a very popular and strong deck in legacy. Surgical Extraction - Not super broken, usually only shows up in sideboards. Consecrated Sphinx - An extremely powerful effect, but it has a pretty high mana cost. Doesn't see much play since it is so expensive. Dark Confidant - Very strong, but pretty balanced. It requires you to put thought into how your deck is built (ie, don't put emrakrul, the promised end in your deck, or you risk taking 13 damage, which is close to killing you on its own) It's a staple in modern, since it basically lets you draw 2 cards a turn, for a price. Gitaxian Probe - Extremely good, kinda broken. Banned in modern, restricted in vintage, but surprisingly fully legal in Legacy. This card is mainly good since you can pay for it with life instead of mana, meaning it's basically "free" Glorious End - Kind of a goofy card in magic, not played anywhere really. Getting just one extra turn to win isn't that good if you spent a lot of your resources last turn casting this card. Bloodbraid Elf - Extremely good, was banned in modern, but it was unbanned earlier this year. Snapcaster Mage - Extremely good, staple in modern and legacy. I wouldn't really call it broken, but it's a very, very powerful card. Ancestral Recall - Arguably the most broken card in magic. Banned everywhere it can be and restricted in vintage. Richard garfield was clearly smoking crack when he decided it should only cost ONE MANA. The not broken version of this spell, Opportunity, costs 6x as much if that puts things into perspective. Demonic tutor - Extremely broken, I don't think I need to tell you why. Restricted in vintage and banned everywhere else. The not broken version of this spell, Diabolic Tutor, costs 2x as much. Future Sight - A fun spell, but not broken. It just costs too much mana, so it doesn't really see competitive play. Spellskite - Not broken, but pretty damn good. A staple in modern, sees some play in legacy. Dig Through Time - Pretty broken, Restricted in vintage, banned in elsewhere. the cost looks high, but the delve ability means that you'll pretty much always be playing this spell for 2 mana if you built your deck right. Phantasmal Image - Not broken. Being able to copy any creature for two mana is very strong, but the part you blah blah blah'd over says it dies basically just by being poked. A staple in two modern decks, Merfolk and Humans. Rest in Peace - Same story as leyline of the void, but this one is more popular. It doesn't come into play for free if you open with it, but it costs half as much, and nukes everything already in the graveyard so it's generally seen as better. Yawgmoth's Will - Super broken. Restricted in vintage, banned everywhere else. Supreme Verdict - Not really broken. Most dark hole effects in magic cost 4 mana, which is generally a balanced cost for the effect. This one sees some play in modern and legacy, since it's one of the stronger dark hole cards in magic. Emrarkul, The Promised End - Was only really broken in standard, where it was banned. And it was only broken in standard since you could "cheat" it into play much earlier than you should be supposed to play it with a card called Aetherworks Marvel. Timewalk - Another one of magic's most broken cards ever. Restricted in vintage, banned everywhere else. The not broken version of this card, Time Warp, costs 2.5x as much.

2 years later, I still kinda want a part 2 to this. Some cards I wanna see you comment on that either you didn't do in part 1, or possibly didn't exist yet: Teferi, time raveler Underworld breach Deaths shadow Sneak attack Atla Palani, nest tender Chulane, teller of tales Niv-mizzet, parun

Wow, Yugioh's lack of built-in cost mechanic warps card designs SOOO badly.

Mana cost makes them not as broken as you imagine. They are still BROKEN, but not as extreme as you think, except ancestral recall and time walk LOL.

What I'm getting from this as a mtg player is yugioh breaks easy

“What?! Ancestral Recall? What does THAT do?”

"How is this legal" it's 13 mana

as an ancient player of YGO, long time subscriber ( in the first 400 subs) and now a MTG player, i cant stop being in love with you with all the vids you post ! keep up the FANTASTIC work !!

Do this with Pokemon cards next!

Zombie decks say their graveyard is their second hand Yawgmoth’s will laughs in broken

"You can use this as many times as you want" This is the key difference between Magic and Yugioh. Magic has more cost to cards. You don't just play a spell and it happens and you keep doing them. Imagine if a 3rd of your deck was just resources that you could only place 1 per turn and you had to pay a cost (not life points) to do literally anything. Very important distinction. From your perspective as a yugioh player translated to magic you're looking at these cards as though you could cast them for free whenever you want or have them in hand. Which is not the case at all.

These abilities are powerful but you have to realize the mana cost will hold you back from playing them too early in the game. For example, that one that lets you control and opponent, you need to use so many of your resources(lands) to play it. Overall great content Cimooooooo. As always!

My guy hitting 80k. I still remember your first 1k. ;)

Thats why magic is always gonna be more balanced. Magic has a resource management, so even tho the effects can be busted if you could just use it immediately, you have to take into consideration the amount of mana you can produce and better uses of it. It's a major reason that the banlist is considerably smaller, format breaking decks such as pepe are extremely rare, and generally most cards can be used in at least one of the many formats. I love yugioh but it 100% has balancing isssues.

By the way "Phantasmal Image" says it enters the battlefield as a copy of ANY creature/monster. It doesn't need to be yours.

Enchantments are like continuous spells, not hand traps. Also these effects would be busted in Yugioh because Magic has an inherent cost/ resource system. So in Magic a lot of these cards can’t be played on the first turn, or even the third or fourth. So them being slower (in Magic) balances power out.

To be fair ancestral recall got banned almost instantly after coming out

I've actually contemplated this with some friends. Instants are traps Sorcery are spells Mana cost is level Upkeep is standby phase

"Could you imagine macro cosmos in a hand trap?!" *looks at dimension shifter*

The funny thing is the emerakul you showed is easily the weaker of the two. Look at the original emrakul. You get an extra turn on cast, and when it attacks target opponet loses 6 permanents. Combo with it that betrays and what ever your opponet sacrifices you get instead

As a Magic player getting into YuGiOh, this was an amazing video! If possible, I'd love a Pt.2 since your reactions to our cards are awesome!

Part 2 please

The reaction to Emrakul the promised end was hysterical, alsp another thing that cimo should react to is the first Emrakul printed hahaha

as a magic player, i really want to see this done the other way around. What super crazy yugioh cards would be even crazier in magic.

Whatever you play a 13 mana creature you already should win the game in mtg, because of this Emrakul is super balanced

I like that whoever showed him these cool magic cards made it a point to send him like 75% cards that are also banned in almost every format in magic

Cimo: "Imagine X deck type with this card!" Magic players: "We have those decks." I know this is 2 years old, but I don't know if Cimo knows how absolutely insane Magic players are. Theorycrafting threads for Magic show that there are players who will find ways to build a deck around any card.

Omg. Those comparisons are awesome! But they forgot some neat little things to put there. But as a Magic Player this is great fun to watch.

Just to note, the following cards ARE banned (or restricted to 1) in at least 1 format: Ponder, Gitaxian Probe, Bloodbraid Elf (was until recently), Ancestral Recall, Demonic Tutor, Dig Through Time, Yawgmoth's Will, Emrakul, and Time Walk. Also, Think of CMC more like a monster's level than anything else. Now i want to see him react to famous MTG combos like Blood Bonds (Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bonds for infinite life and infinite damage), Copy Cat (Saheeli Rai + Felidar Guardian for infinite creatures), and the Storm Mechanic (Copy a spell with storm once for each other spell cast before it in a single turn. Gets crazy when you can get someone from 20 to 0 in a single turn).

This needs a sequel. A lot has happened in two years.

"this card had to be banned!" Hehehe, he should review mtg's banned cards next!🤣👌

Yeah, so, magic is balanced by completely different game mechanics that you acknowledge, but don't fully address. Mana costs. A yugioh deck of 30 pot of greeds and a lock or otk combo would win 100% of the time on turn 1. A magic deck with 30 ancestral recall, 20 lands (for mana), and a win condition would be a good deck, but would still take a few turns, mulliganing to make sure you have a land, and would still face less hypothetical decks that win just as fast, just as often. And the inherent balancing of requiring mana is part of the reason MTG doesn't have to update the ban list nearly as often or severely.

yes, cimo, these cards are overpowered...that's why they have such large mana costs

I laughed so hard after watching this! A part two would be greatly appreciated, as someone who is a fan of magic.

I only play a little bit of yugioh and not competitively, but I do play Magic competitively, so for me seeing you freak out over how good these abilities can be was really fun, I laughed every time you freaked out and you're right, these cards are really good ones, and the combos that players use them in are insane. One of the really funny parts was that you didn't even know the half of how broken some were because of how easy they are put into play, two of the ones you were surprised at you could just pay life points instead of the regular casting cost for. I noticed you kind of had a hard time coming up with what a good comparison for the mana cost was, and the comparison you made to Link Cost was pretty much on the nose. Having a mana cost for all the spells is basically like if in yugioh you needed to sacrifice monsters or pay life points for every card (monsters, spells, and traps), but instead of your normal summon and free to play you have cards that are designated to stay on the field all game and give you material to sacrifice to summon bigger monsters.

It's genuinely fascinating watching you do this, both because it's hilarious thinking "Pffft yeah aren't you happy you don't have thoughtseize lol" ((thoughtseize warped formats the same way full power dragon rulers did BUT)) but then you also have the ones where you're missing a fundamental part of MTG, which is its mana costs. (This is sepereate from this point but your upkeep happens BEFORE drawing so Dark Confidant is MUCH better.) If you truly did translate something like Consecrated Sphinx would easily have something akin to the Egyptian Gods in requiring a decent amount of resources to summon. In YGO, you can potentially create an unbreakable board on Turn-1, but in MTG, due to it's requirement of mana to play your cards, you are inheritantly forced to play steadier and slower due to not having immediate access to all your resources from Turn-1. There's also the matter of the color pie, and how it limits what kinds of cards can be in certain decks. For example, Monster Reborn, if done in MtG, could only exist in black, fundamentally being shut off from any deck not playing that color. I would totally suggest doing a followup video where you actually attempt to try translating some cards from MTG to YGO, that'd be pretty neat to see! (I can tell you right now that if you did something like Slifer or Obelisk, you'd have to look into stuff like "The Legend Rule" and other things in MTG, though.)

Hahaha. You thought this game has fucking pluses? Look at Pokémon. Lemme just read off the Professor cardline: “Discard all cards in your hand, and draw 7 cards.” “Looks like I bricked hard, I opened 3 snows, a solitaire and my psyfrane driver, hope my next dra- Top deck professor pitch hand draw 7, good?”

I used to play Magic quite a bit around the Return to Ravnica cycle, and there was this ability built into the Azorius guild called detain. That was one of the most busted built-in mechanics that I got to see; it was great.

As a magic player, this reminds me of when I used to open packs after school and get so excited about how amazingly over powered the cards all seemed. Thank you.

Funny thing is, Emrakul isn't the only card in MTG that allows you to take your opponent's turn. Also, these cards aren't as over powered in mtg as they would be in yugioh. Magic has built-in costs, that being that you have to pay to cast cards. Emrakul for example is a 13 drop creature, meaning you have to pay 13 mana to get it out. This means you might not get it out until at least mid game.

I started Magic recently, and was especially amazed by how common self-bouncing effects are. So many otherwise innocent cards, that would absolutely be abused in Yugioh, but the mana costs keep them (mostly) in check in magic. There are a lot of differences in the games that come just from the fact that magic has mana costs, while yugioh doesn't.

Watching this in 2020, found it really funny, keep up the good work. Also would love to see another one of these

I freaking loved this video specifically from you, as someone that plays both games. Your reactions were hilarious 😂

As a magic player exclusively, this was hilarious. Do more of these to bridge the TCG gap and grow your audience.

Isn't there a card in Magic where if you deck out you WIN the game?

I loved the video. I'm a MTG player (thou know how to play YGO) so this was much fun to watch. Please do a follow up with more cards, perhaps doing more analysis. I can easly see something like this becoming a series of videos.

You should do a part 2 to this, dude. This was genius and brilliant!

Yeah without the mana system magic would be stupid broken

jace is legal now. import him to ygo.

Former Yugioh player/current MTG player here. Loved this video and would honestly love to see you do more of these videos (specifically for Magic). Also, loved your reaction to Emrakul's ability XD

Im newer to this channel but this needs a part two this is outright entertaining

Yes,glimpse of nature stacks. It's banned in modern format due to a deck that runs It, and just keeps drawing cheap elves/untapping a certain card they use for mana. It's also the main card for a legacy deck called cheeri0s, which plays It, and 0 mana cost creatures to. Well. Maxx C Themselves to oblivion and win with a card with the storm mechanic

As both a Yu-gi-oh fan and a MTG fan, this video is hilarious, partially at Cimo's reactions and partially due to his lack of knowledge about MTG. Both of those just add the fun of the video, however. (EDIT) Another great thing is how shockingly accurate most of Cimo's "ban" predictions are as most of the cards he said should get banned instantly are banned or are some of the most expensive and powerful legal cards.

Some of my Favorites in MTG Lighthouse Chronologist: You get an Extra between each players turn including yours. Soren (Planeswalker): You get to take control of your opponents turn. By drawing for them, Playing his/her cards for them, & attacking for him/her.) Jace (Planeswalker): Mill 30 cards of your opponents deck. Eldrazi Annihilator effects: When these type of monsters attack. You send a number of your opponents cards to thr grave depending on the Annihilator number is on that Eldrazi. Platinum Angel: Can't lose the game while this monster is on the field. Laboratory Maniac: When thus creature is on the field. You Instantly win if you run out of cards in your deck.

I'd love to see another one of these. Awesome video! Subbed.

How about platinum angel? Effect: flying, you cannot lose the game. Your opponent cannot win the game. Or all of the slivers which give additional effects to all slivers on the field that range from protection to power up, to resource building, to floating effects and more!

Consecrated sphinx has a yugioh equivalent, its called appropriate.

Please make a part 2 for this? As someone who actively plays both games, this was fucking hilarious and I need more

Into magic right now, haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh in years. I loved this video, it was amusing as hell. I really wanna see you do something like this again. Maybe with some of magic's "you win the game" effects

This video is really cool comparing the two games, but in reality you cant compare most of these cards to yugioh. The reason magic cards seem more broken is because alot of them need massive amounts of mana to use. Obviously these cards would be broken in yugioh but they would break the game. Magic is inherently a slower game then yugioh, needing set up time with mana. Still the premise of the video is a cool idea.

you dont understand cost though: magic has that

“and it looks like you can do this as many times you want in a turn” I thought he might know a little about magic, I was wrong.

I would love to see a on going series of just this.

These cards can seem OP in Yugioh but in magic everything cost mana. Ya you can draw 2 cards but that could be all you could do in one turn. In Yugioh you can easily go through half of your deck in 1 or 2 turns based on how stupidly every card is as follows, "When you normal summon this card search your deck for X and special summon or add to hand. Then the next card is, when this card is special summoned get X card from your hand to the field. Then you have enough materials to bring out some link summon garbage from your deck. Then you XYZ summon some bullshit and it does X to other players monsters, then you trigger some effect on your XYZ and it lets you summon some other card your your extra deck or deck or so on. Oh and I forgot to mention you have X field card or backrow card that gives some form of protection to your cards. Oh and you have X card in your hand that is "instant" cast that stops your opponent from playing the game because some effect your their monster triggered. Its obvious that this is a game that constantly only stays relevant due to power creep on new mechanics. While lots of older cards struggle to remain relevant or competitive. It's so ridiculous that they thought bringing link summoning will somehow slow down the game. Because of all of this I can't even begin to teach any of my friends to play Yugioh based on the ridiculous learning curve and how every card has 2 paragraphs worth of text for them to read and to remember. Meanwhile I was easily able to teach them all magic and have fun with that. Magic is so much simpler and slower based and strategic. Compared to Yugioh its fast paced, memorized, and card draw centrist. Where the winner or magic uses their limited resources the most efficiently; Yugioh is about who draws the most resources from their deck in 2-3 turns. There has been games of Yugioh where my 40 card deck is down to less than 15 cards in less than 3-4 turns. And there, you easily used half your deck in 1 turn while in magic mana limits how much you can do per turn. Plus 95% of cards can't attack the turn they are summoned. Not saying Yugioh is bad because of this its just a very different and slower game that isn't controlled by power creep.

Im both a magic player and a yugioh player, if you wanna see some crazy creatures from magic check these three out: Emrakul, the Aeons Torn; Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and since you liked the draw effects so much look up Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur (in the lore I believe he created the Gitaxian Probe, the look at your opponents hand then draw a card). Lastly look up Time Vault and Voltaic Key (its combo that lets you take infinite turns). Also, loved the vid... and would love to see more of these

Can`t stop rewatching this video. Your reactions are too hilarious XDXDXDXD

2:19 "What're you gonna do about it you're basically fucked?" Is pretty accurate to game 2 against dredge with a leyline out

I play magic and Yu-Gi-Oh

Yo Cimoooooooo I just want to say thank you! With your content, as well as few others I've gotten back into YuGiOH. Bought my first cards for the 1st time in 12+ years. So thank you!! Now its time to find a way to play while spending the least amount of money as possible xD

3:35 Dark Confidant in Yugioh would be you lose 200x it’s Level, though 500x level is probably more balanced. As for Cascade it would summon a monster with a lower level. In fact any thing that says mana cost just change to a monster’s level. I’m also assuming you did know research as ancestral Recall is banned in every format except Vintage and ante

I want to see more vids like this, it would be interesting to see more magic cards translated into yugioh and vice versa

This is great! A video like "Planeswalkers vs Extra Deck Monsters" would be sick! : )

Upstarts banned? Did I miss something, Cimo? xD

I'd love a "dimension hopping" format where you can use a tiny list of cards from other games

Well, in the original manga the card game was called "Magic & Wizards", before it was renamed to Duel Monsters. it was a nice nod to MTG.

Most of the dedicated graveyard hate in Magic exists because of a deck called dredge. Think lightsworns on steroids. In Vintage (Think traditional format) there are dredge decks that can kill you before you take a turn.

This would be a cool series. Cross game card analysis videos to see how other cards would translate into Yugioh. Also, congrats on 80K subscribers!

2:13 Yep... That's a perfectly accurate description of how Commander Format games get.

i actually want to make a list of magic cards converted into yu gi oh style. thanks for the video, loved it.

what about UNO cards? would love to play a skip... or a reverse in a tag duel

But I don't believe in magic

I knew this would be funny since i play and love both games and i actually like that you added a lot of low manacost cards too. I really expected griselbrand, door to nothingness and other cards like this who basically instantkill the enemy if you had enough mana. But the manacosts you showed (even with one emrakul) was pretty fair.

There's a MANA system in MTG, which helps to balance the effects, in case you forgot.
