*Cough*

Inconsistency? Just believe in the heart of the cards

Why would you play anything else when you have Ojamas ?

Billy Brake lost to chaos maxx once. Seems legendary to me.

I think it’s very poetically ironic that Kaiba known for playing Blue Eyes that LIGHT monsters, uses a DARK Blue Eyes and Yugi who typically uses Dark Magician DARK monsters, uses a LIGHT themed card associated with Dark Magician. It’s as if the roles being reversed with Seto’s card embodies all of his inner darkness and Yugi’s his inner hope.

As some one who has played Blue Eyes Chaos Max for pretty much every single of my local tournaments, I can agree that it is highly inconsistent. But, honestly, I worked so hard to make a Blue Eyes deck for YEARS, so I realize the this deck's weaknesses, and I'm fine with it. No, you will not stop me from playing the deck. But I can agree to some of what you said.

"Blue eyes is too inconsistent. So lets play the brilliant engine in it."

Uh dzeeff I'll have you know I won a card game one time so that completely invalidates your entire video!

I used to play a lot of Magic: The Gathering, and one of the lead designers of that game is a guy named Mark Rosewater. He helped create what's called the Psychographic profiles of what they think of the three types of players of Magic, Timmy, Johnny and Spike. Johnny is the Combo Player, Spike is the Hyper-competitive glory player, and Timmy is the power player. Chaos MAX Dragon is 100% a Timmy card. Timmy players love big, smashy cards that do fucktons of damage, or just have huge effects, regardless of how incredibly difficult it is to pull off said effects (the archetypal Timmy card, and the one that made Mark make up the name, is Verdant Force, which is an 8 drop 7/7 that makes 1/1 tokens at the beginning of your turn). While the name sounds demeaning, it was actually made in adamant defense of cards like MAX Dragon, and how there totally should be people who love these cards. Basically, what I'm saying is, while this card is probably not that great, there's totally precedent in other games for cards of its kind, and there's also a reason why there's a subset of people who will always defend it.

BRUH DON'T SLEEP ON MY MOKEY MOKEY DECK

As someone who doesn't play the game anymore, most people playing Chaos MAX are probably doing it because it's a big ass monster that's fun to summon. Yes, it may not be the best card of ever, but who cares if someone runs a card that isn't the best thing ever. Back when I played I would put things like Blue Eyes Shing Dragon and Black Skull Dragon in my decks, fulling knowing those weren't even good cards. I wasn't going to spend the money to get any of the super great cards anyways, so it only made sense to use cards I enjoyed using.

Me and my friends have a weird, sentimental connection to Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon. He's like the family pet to us. We just call him Max, he's a good boy.

fun>consitency

"Blue eyes decks in general are pretty inconsistent" *Seto Kaiba crushes the phone he just watched this video on with his bare hands*

Obviously it's because Davinator1212 didn't call it one of the top 5 Ritual monsters 😏

As a blue eyes player I agree with the video... but that doesn't mean I haven't given chaos max a fair chance. I have thoroughly experimented with the deck over the time it's been popular, and have tried many iterations. As soon as chaos max released in the movie packs I tried it with my friends at a locals for a few weeks. It won me a few games, but it was EXTREMELY inconsistent. I decided at the time that it wasn't very good to play in the deck, as it slowed me down considerably. However when Link Vrains came out I was forced to change my outlook on the deck. Since blue eyes couldn't really afford using monsters to make a decode talker early game back when there were barely any link monsters available, Chaos max turbo actually wasn't that bad because it didn't rely on the extra deck. I did end up winning a locals with it when Zoo was still around, but in this day in age with Spyrals and more and more link monsters... the deck does NOT hold up in the slightest. I decided to make a compromise with myself, as chaos max does shut specific decks down. I side deck one chaos max, a chaos form, and an advanced ritual art. No manju or anything like that. Running two ritual spells means I'll most likely draw it in my starting hand, and chaos max is so searchable that I don't really need more than one. For now, though, I'm sticking with plain old blue eyes. That new kaiba legendary collections has 5 brand new cards in it, hopefully it has some new blue-eyes support that helps chaos max become a option!

For competitive play it’s not good because because it causes consistency issues and the deck can’t combat backrow etc also kaijus exist But for a casual tourney like a locals, Chaos max turbo is pretty good However Dzeeff what you have to remember is that nobody competitively plays Chaos Max, however on the casual level (which still has loads of players, if not more then the number of competitive players) Chaos max is a popular deck choice, due to its power, appeal and price

Being a pure Blue-eyes player, I never played Chaos MAX in my deck because of the inconsistency factor. I like how you compared MAX to a lot of the structure deck boss monsters because it's true.

I just see Max as another possible win condition in the deck not competitive but it sure is fun lol

Also don't talk shit on mokey mokey

Unfortunately Confirmation bias tends to mean that you only see the games against Chaos Max where they actually played it, and not the ones where it got stuck in their hand. In addition you only remember the games where you trounced the opponent by playing Max first turn and running over their Ghostrick or something, and not the games where you never see a Chaos Form or a Max

Dude I completely agree with you. I have been playing Blue-Eyes since the game began in the US and I have tested Chaos MAX as much as I could because I like to find at least some amount of use to the cards in the archetype, with the exception of Priestess with Eyes of Blue, and I always end up liking better and reverting back to normal Blue-Eyes. I thought that once the game slowed down with links Chaos MAX would be useful, for obvious reasons, but then certain things came out that just weakened the cards potential. Not only is the Chaos MAX version the most inconsistent but also cards like Draw and Lock bird, Ash, Maxx C, DD Crow, etc. it just isn’t as good as it would’ve been. I was playing a friend of mine and every time I used melody he would Ash Blossom it and I would just lose, and I would lose because like you said the cards you usually draw with Chaos MAX version are all situational. Where as normal Blue-Eyes has more plays and can go around those cards better. I also agree with the comparison of boards. You invest too much with Chaos MAX just to usually have a much weaker board than normal Blue-Eyes, this was especially the case pre-link era, and I never understood why anyone would main deck Chaos MAX. Sorry the comment was very long, but still very educational video.

I have a lot of experience with Blue-Eyes, and with Chaos MAX as I played it for about 3 weeks after it came out, experimenting and playing it in tournaments. (PRE MR4) There ended up being 3 ways to build it more or less: 1. Dedicate every possible deck slot to either A. A ritual piece or B. A card that searches a ritual piece. This turbo'd out Chaos MAX and often multiple of him turn 1 very consistently, but as dzeeff said in the video, as soon as you're into game 2 and 3 you get Kaiju'd and lose instantly, or it gets outed by any of the 1000 ways to get around it. (Kozmojo, Storming or Drowning Mirror Force, True Draco Apocalypse, Beelze, Time Pendulumgraph, etc.) 2. Galaxy build that tries to make Chaos MAX and Cyber Dragon Infinity. Significantly less consistent, and often you ended up making either or neither. 3. Just trying to incorporate him into a more or less standard Blue-Eyes build. This had the most success, as he ended up being just a booster to your standard board and if you lost him to something, you didn't instantly lose. Still had less potential than Invoked or Pure Blue-Eyes, but was the best of the options.

Zero dislikes? *one day of peace*

I lost a lot of games to a friend that has a chaos max deck... i learned to never set monsters.. and he learned to use cyberangels instead

Yes I have won locals and regionals maining 3 hand destructions and 3 double summons and no you may not see my prize card

Yeah as inconsistent as this deck is I still Love Chaos Max and this deck

I like chaos max as it's a fun deck to play. That's it.

Did you just assume my flashy big king of the skull skervant OTK deck is useless? I assure you it's definitely tier 0. It's for high IQ people like me. You wouldn't even understand the concept of skull servants which was intended for high IQ duelists. I'm winning locals every day with my skull servants.

As a blue-eyes player, I generally agree with most of this video. Chaos Max tends to be really inconsistent and situational, only really serving as fodder for trade in or dragon ravine when you can't pull it off. When it does go off, it goes off big as generally opponents don't really have an answer to it unless they have a kaiju, which is not 100% of the time. However, it can't go off every time which is a big problem. That being said, I still play it at 1 just because situations do arise and if you can pull it off first turn, opponents don't really have a good way to deal with it except kaiju (which is good because then they aren't kaijuing other cards you may want to keep) but usually side it out immediately.

TL:DR too much investment of at least 3 cards with not enough insurance am I wrong?

Dzeeff confirmed for getting owned by a chaos max player and mad about it.

I won my locals with Hand Destruction

I don't play Yu-Gi-Oh! why am I here?

I agree that it can be bricky. But thats why you dont run the deck only around MAX. Keep an extra deck to help with comebacks have the revival spells to flood the board with blue eyes from your grave after hes gone.

Dzeeff: Chaos Max is too inconsistent (5 years pass) Commentors: What do you mean??? There's lots of support that gets Chaos Maxx out consistently, such as (insert card that didn't exist 5 years ago). Idiot.

It's a 4000 beat stick! The hits to the face and it's game. I lost to it many times and won with it.

As a blue-eyes player, the deck does need more cards like sage to prevent bricks, keep consistency and going negative. Lets hope the new lord of d and flute of summoning dragon retrain help prevent these and still keep the deck powerful

After having seen this video, I couldn't help but birst out laughing when Kaiba summoned it in the new movie, claiming that he has the ultimate card to defeat the pharaoh. Good stuff, Dzeeff.

*Impcantations have joined the chat*

I once saw a Blue-Eyes player scoop after I solemn'd a chaos form. Shit was hilarious.

I’ve stuck Chaos max in my Black Luster Soldier deck and can get this out more consistently than a blue-eyes deck. I still lose though...

I have not played Yu-Gi-Oh since early 2005. You read that correctly. Early two-thousand-and-five! When I stopped playing, I was 14 and lost interest. 3 weeks ago, my girlfriend, who had never had any exposure to Yu-Gi-Oh aside from the abridged series, decided to Netflix binge the series. We have just reached the Capsule monsters arc, and I have brought my basket of old cards from the loft out for her, at her request. We have build 6 or 7 decks from them for us to play and for her to learn and are both just getting to grips with all the new rules like Synchro summons ect. Her favourite character is, obviously, Seto Kaiba. For a small gift for her birthday, I bought her some Kaiba Corp card sleeves, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon and Dragon Master Knight (Only shining dragon was released of these 3 when I stopped playing). She was absolutely over the moon and liked the £12($15) children's trading card gifts more than the festival ticket I got her as her main present. I'm going to, week-by-week, buy and build her a Blue-Eyes White Dragon deck with ALL the new blue eyes cards possible. Because she wants to use those cards. We're going to steadily get into the modern game, even though we're both pushing 30, because we have had so much fun playing the outdated version together at home. In a month or so, once we've really got to grips with the new game, we're going to go to a local regional tournament once her Blue-Eyes deck is all completed with every Blue-Eyes card that exists. She is going to play with her Blue-Eyes cards, I'll have a go with whatever I can cobble together, and even if neither of us take a single life point from our opponents, we're going to have a brilliant time and leave feeling happy. Screw using only using the most consistent and tournament friendly cards, we have cherished Yu-Gi-Oh founded memories and fun!

I used to love playing MAX in my Blue-Eyes deck, but after a while I grew out of putting it in. I feel like the deck is more consistent without it, and that pushing multiple BEWDs or BEAWDs is a better strategy for me.

Respectfully disagree. I find chaos max one of the faster boss monsters to get out until you can get to the extra deck.

So....who really cares. People who play Chaos Max more than likely know it's not the best card ever. A good duelist should already know every weakness his/her deck has, but plays it because they enjoy it. If you can't have fun playing the game, then it's not a game any longer.

I was planning to use Odd-eyes Advent in a Metalfoes deck. Which would let me also use Advanced ritual Arts. Also, there is a very cool light dragon that is a ritual monster. So Odd-eyes advent can be used with it. That light dragon can also be used to stop all sorts of thing, Odd-eyes advent can be brought to your hand using Sky Iris, Odd-eyes advent can also be used to ritual summon dragons out of the GY, and it does not need exact stars when used.

I have a blue eyes felgrand deck I put together and a chaos max deck. I really like playing with both and have quite a bit of fun with both but my blue eyes felgrand deck is arguably more consistent. I will say that chaos max is alright in a blue eyes mirror match because unless you're running something like quaking mirror force or swords of concealing light, it's really hard to deal with

Chaos MAX is just meant for 1 thing. Dealing damage. This is a trap for many lower level players: "To win i need to deal 8000 damage, so more damage = better card." It's not a good card, but i think it has it's place in casual play, it's just a funny thing to mess around with for a few duels, before going back to your 'real' deck.

Why play Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon if I can play Amorphactor Pain, the Imagination Dracoverlord?

Such a great Boss-Monster. I'm playing casual Yu-Gi-Oh and i always liked Decks with badass Boss-Monsters. But at the end of the day they even suck against the mediocre decks with good combos, that gain card-advantage easily.

Top tier vids bud, your audio pops and hisses from the P's and S's nearly busted an ear drum, talk with a finger or pencil infront of your mouth, instant filter

I've won alot of games playing Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon

I only play this card in a deck that is build to summon this card in combination with Bishbaalkin to otk my opponent in 1 turn, other than that I prefer regular Blue-Eyes with Amorphage Goliath, Arkbrave Dragon and Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand teched in. When you go first and mill Goliath and Arkbrave with Dark Matter Dragon you win the game 9/10 times, much better than Chaos MAX.

As a blue eyes player don’t invest to much into chaos maxx. The extra deck is what you wanna focus on. If your gonna run max use it as a finisher. Especially with all of the good xyz and link cards that are compatible with blueeyes!

when blue eyes took the championship it bricked multiple times in the final mirror match was pretty ridiculous at that level of skill to see both players dueling for the top spot bricking

Blue eyes chaos max dragon is really strong.When i summon him i always have a combo .i use the card forget it to turn my enemies monsters to defense then attack to win.

I haven't lost a single match at school after I got blue eyes chaos max dragon so Bruuuuuuu

Konami: "We need to keep Blue-eyes relevant in this new generation. How many new words can we cram between Blue-Eyes and Dragon?" New Set now contains Blue-Eyes Master Superior Ultimate God Dragon which is a Link monster that allows you to banish Blue-Eyes monsters from your graveyard as fusion substitutes for any fusion monster regardless of summoning conditions. And also that card can attack your opponent directly or some shit.

I don't like Chaos Max dragons, but just current regional champions are not running playing Blue-Eyes Chaos Max Dragon does NOT mean that "Nobody," plays it. I get that you even addressed this in your opening line but I'm just saying, it is quite an inaccurate term. I agree it is the end of Yugioh and despite its popularity as you've pointed out it does not guarantee victory, and its cost forces you to at least partially rely upon chance why has no place in "Meta." That being said, you also missed the point as to why its so popular. Its not because of it flashy appearance or because it you Ritual Summon it, and its not popular just because of the "Casuals", but because it is not difficult to summon, and if you go second then your opponent needs a very specific response to right then and there to get rid of a monster that you can neither target nor destroy. Ash blossom would be great, negating his summon also works but if you don't have a SPECIFIC way of dealing with him then he can attack with 4000 that doubles to 8000 piercing if you had to set a monster because your deck goes better second. So I know its not the ultimate card but is stupidly overpowered, not hard to summon, and extremely popular. You basically made a video saying, "Yea its stupidly overpowered but it could be more and its not so you're scrub for running it." I don't even run one nor would I ever but your argument just seems funny to me. Like you are intentionally trolling Blue Eyes fan boys for a reaction, and you did succeed. Bravo lol.

I play both Chaos Max and pure Blue Eyes but i know 1 guy who plays Blue Eyes and he's not a competitive player and 4 other guys who play Chaos Max but 2 of them are competitive players

Mask of Restrict helps to counter Kaiju. :)

I like how the premise of this video is Dzeeff explaining why Chaos Max saw almost zero competitive play, and everyone is like "Manju and Impcantations make it far more consistent than you're hypothesizing moron" or "I usually in on like the 2nd turn with Chaos Max", as if that's gonna make him go "Oh! That's right! Ok, yeah, then it DID see a lot of competitive play. I was wrong"

I haven't played yugioh in years and I never knew the rules. I just like to hear you talk and see the card art. You present well

"Nobody" is simply poor click baity word choice. Many people play it, and it isn't really a bad card. It just trades some consistency for extra power options (which I think you basically say more or less). This causes it to be less appealing to competitive players who value consistency more than sheer power. It would of been nice if pre-prep worked with it though. I love my shino bird deck and seeing pre-prep always makes me feel really good about the outcome of the duel.

nothing is wrong with chaos max dragon, however EVERYTHING is wrong with hand traps and kaijewing.

since i am watching this 2 years later i can say, there are some cards that can dispose easily of chaos max. I play my chaos max deck only for fun, if i want to win locals or something i like playing my burning abyss deck or something like that.

As an Invoked Brilliant-Eyes Spellbook Dragon player, I can say for a fact Chaos MAX is very inconsistent. If you're allocating deck space to 3 Manju, 2 Chaos MAX, 2 Advanced Ritual Art and 2 Chaos Form, just replace it with 2 Blue Boy, 1 Spellbook of Secrets, 1 Spellbook of Knowledge, 2 Terraforming, 1 Alister the Invoker, 1 Magical Meltdown and 1 Invocation. Not only can you drop an inconsistent boss monster from your deck, you have more draw power and deck thinning, to get to Arkbrave/ Golaith combo (the best board for Blue-Eyes) but you can also get an Invoked Mechaba or if you're feeling frisky, use the Invocation on the Dead draw Garnet in your hand to go into Seraphinite. OR if you're feeling REALLY frisky, Invocation into Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon or First of the Dragons with Blue-Eyes in your hand. Seriously, 9 cards can change your consistency greatly. Hell, you can use the other Blue Boy as Melody discard fodder. There are always options. EDIT: With Magical Meltdown on the Field, Alister in hand, and Seraphinite on the field with Brilliant Fusion, if you decide to run 1 Blue Boy and 2 Spellbook of Secrets, you can pitch one after the Spellbook combo has been used to give Seraphinite her original attack, and run over a monster with her, using the 1000 ATK boost of Alister. Magical Meltdown also insures you get the Seraphinite on the board.

I still think curse of Anubis + chaos max is the most satisfying otk in yugioh

Vanities fiend can't be kaijud

8 out of 10 times i have a backup plan if ash blossom is pulled on me, chaos form doesn't require a blue-eyes card; from hand or field it just needs to be a lvl 8. Regardless of the fact that your opponent ash blossoms your Melody or Trade-In, you still discard a card because it's a cost for activating, which will in any way help you in the long-run, especially since 9 out of 10 times the discarded card is either a tuner that gets an effect upon being sent to the graveyard (stone of legends, stone of ancients), or a monster card that's worth more in the graveyard than in the hand, and it's highly probable that you'll have Dragon Lords or Silver's Cry in your hand anyway. Chaos Max getting Kaiju-ed is almost never the worst thing in the world to me cuz I'm always bound to have a stone of ancients in the graveyard that I can just get it back into my hand with; in addition most of the time I have another card on my field. You don't have to invest that much of your hand or deck into summoning Chaos Max; with Advanced Ritual Art all that's expended is that card and a blue-eyes in the deck, and with Chaos Form all that's needed is a lvl 8 either in the hand or on the field, and most of the time that monster's better in the graveyard anyway. Most of the time if you have to use your normal summon on Manju you can just Sage him away to get a blue-eyes or dragon spirit on the field. Really the most cards one should have in their deck for the ritual build is like 8; everything else is just typical blue-eyes support. It literally just makes your deck go from 40 cards to 45 cards, and you're heavily overemphasizing how inconsistent the ritual build is. Regardless if you do get two in your hand, which really shouldn't happen anyway cuz two is the most Chaos Maxes you should ever run, it's still a Blue-eyes lvl 8 that can still be used as a discard if it's dead in your hand, and if you need it again just Stone of Ancients it back into your hand. Sure, all it does is protect itself, but taking into account it's atk points as well as all the blue-eyes support you can run for the deck, you really don't need it to have an effect; in fact, the board that i mostly find myself having upon my opening move is Chaos Max out with Alternative for support, and if i can get a Dragon Lords in the graveyard, great. Every Chaos Max deck is different, and some have better support than others

Came in wondering why nobody plays it, came in understanding consistentsy and Kaijus

*"THAT'S ALOTTA DAMAGE!"* -Jontron 2017- -Dzeeff 2017

Don’t get me wrong. I love Chaos Max Dragon. But I see your point about a lot of things. I like Chaos Max before Kaiju’s because there was literally no way around. I played against a friend who topped multiple times with BA and he could never get around it, but I never played at a regional because I know it’s a glass cannon. If they get around it, I only have 2 cards in my hand and I lose. Point blank. Chaos Max is not a bad card. But it’s definitely not a Master Peace or a Apoqliphort Towers.

Facts. While chaos max is strong the spots in your could be used for much better options. I.e. Desires, ash blossom, silver’s cry, maybe even a fusion engine for neo.

I really love the artwork for chaos max and its a shame that chaos ritual doesn't list it but you're right...its bad...not gonna stop me from making filthy casual decks though ❤ on another note that old school blue eyes art hit my nostalgia like a truck

I love your videos dzeff. This is literally what I have been telling people for a long time now, and I've been told I am the only one who doesn't think Chaos Max is broken among my friends (I'm also the only competitive player out of them). Continue reading my mind man.

One time I was playing Metalfoes VS blue eyes, they got Chaos MAX out with their double piercing and then had a monster facedown for some reason so I double pierced for game with Orichalc 😂

True, Blue Eyes Chaos may be bad in a pure Blue Eyes deck, but in a deck based of it, it's pretty good.

I’ve played a chaos deck the last month and it seems to be more consistent now with Impcantation and bingo machine. I do use banned cards like pot of greed or harpy’s feather duster but for casual play only otherwise I would sub the pot of greeds for 2 more bingo machine go. This deck is meant for otk, and for the most part it wins. I’ve only lost to my friends because they’ve now built their deck with mirror force cards that don’t target or destroy, in tournament play my opponent will not have every card to stop this deck. My Deck profile is: 3 Chaos Max Dragons 3 Chaos Dragons 3 Blue Eyes White Dragons 2 Alternative White Dragons 3 Impcantation Talismandra 3 Impcantation Candoll 3 Manju of Ten Thousand Hands 3 Chaos Form 3 Advanced Ritual Arts 3 Creature Swap 2 Called By the Grave 1 Monster Reborn 1 Bingo Machine Go 2 Pot of Greed 2 Trade In 3 Melody of Awakening Dragon 1 Raigeki 1 Harpy’s Feather Duster

at the end of the day the question remains...is the card fun to use? Yes? Then keep playig it. This is a game remember...remember when games were about having fun and not beeing the best? I do. And know dzeeff din't mean stop playing it. Just play what you like and have fun.

Six months from now chaos max turbo becomes tier 1 and this video turns into brilliant fusion over double summon.

combo Mausoleum of White/Terraforming + Sage with Eyes of Blue end field -> Chaos form in hand, Crystal wing Synchro dragon on field, battle phase intact. If you happen to draw melody, then you get your chaos max.

Who cares about winning? If i manage to summon a flashy cool looking dragon and win, im gonna have fun and feel good about it. And even if i lose, come one, just enjoy the dmg that mf deals. I may be casual but i dont really care thaaat much. Cool looking dragon, dont care too much about winning. Like when u lava golem a very big monster. Feels good and thats what matters for me. Good vid tho, have a nice day to u all.

I’d argue that impcantations make this deck both very powerful and consistent. Barring utopia the lightning, kaijus, and skill drain, it’s a pretty hard card to get over too. In terms of ritual decks in general, I think they got a huge power boost in 2018 and it’s only getting g better with additional impcantation support on the way

Basically your arguments for this card can be said for almost any other ritual monster. Yeah it has some drawbacks but it's not the worst card I have seen.

if you want to meme it up, you can use Odd-Eyes Advent as your ritual spell, allowing you to summon the Chaos Max from the grave, letting it be used as a discard cost or allowing you to use Foolish Burial or Dragon Ravine as a "search". You can run Supreme King Odd-Eyes and Odd-Eyes Dissolver as your main deck tributes (both can be searched by Sky Iris [which can also search Advent], or used as discards for Trade-In or Allure of Darkness). Sure, this deck would do literally nothing but summon Chaos Max, but... it can summon it, I guess.

I love stealing players Chaos Maxx Dragon with the effect of Metaphys Horus! Thanks for playing!

Neo Blue-Eyes is we’re it’s at

Why Nobody* Plays Chaos Max *Nobody who plays competitive meta Yu-Gi-Oh There's more to the game than the metagame

Things that can out chaos max: -non-targeting non-destruction removal -kaiju -changed to defense, battled over -non-target face-down defense (ghostrick doll) -moon mirror shield -all mirror forces except regular one -ritual floodgates -honest the list goes on

I get the point of this video. Even my speed ritual Chaos Max only hits when I can get ahead of my opponent's curve; but I'm still gonna keep her for fun because a 6000+ punch early in the game is hysterical.

Nah fam. It's the most powerful card in the game. Because of its badass artwork

It's hilarious to see them just hating on chaos maxes existence

If your playing a dragon engine you got put deep eyes in it. So you have max, regular blues deck and deep eyes burn for spice. Spice is really the thing that wins matches.

One thing I figured out about the chaos max dragon is that you can get rid of it really easily with a memory of the adversary trap it seems to ignore the can’t be targeted or destroyed by card effects I guess it’s because it’s a blanket effect and it banishes not destroys chaos max or something like that one downside to taking it out that way is that you don’t get chaos max on your side of the field and you of course lose 4000 life points for it but hey if you want a consistent way to kill a chaos max there it is I guess

you miss the whole point of duel you wouldn't have lasted in the early years of dueling

I don’t think you intended for this, but you came off quite condescending and kinda rude in this video.

So I know you get a lot of comments from casuals like "well I play them!" or "my friends all play them!" when you do this series, I think this could be remedied by simply changing the title from "why nobody plays" to "why the pros don't play" lol

With all do respect dzeeff, I feel my deck with not two, but three Chaos max cards has worked for me in my Blue Eyes deck. So far it has been very consistent and at locals I typically go 3-1 or 4-0 in Swiss. At my last regional (zoo/true draco format) I went 5-2. Just for the record, here were my matchups for that day. Zoodiac (2-1) Zoodiac/Draco (2-0) Infernoid/Zoo (1-2) Winner of Regional True Draco (2-0) Paleozoic (2-1) True Draco/Zoo (1-2) Lightsworns (2-1)-my friend I don’t disagree with anything being brought up from this video, but I enjoy playing the deck for fun and competitively and that’s what matters most. Just know your deck’s vulnerabilities and be ready for anything to happen.
