Yu-Gi-Oh History w/Joe Giorlando: Wind-Up Loop vs. Inzektors (2012)

[lordofthered]

I love this format. This is when I got introduced to Yugioh. I bought the Dragons Collide structure and played janky playground chaos dragons. I want to get back into the meta at the time. I know one of my friends loves Hero and Darkworld so this format is perfect for him too.

This was an amazing gameplay video and a great showcase of this format. I really love your gameplay videos and hope you do more sometime soon!

Giorlando: *plans 4d plays in parallel universes*
Regular yugioh player: Haha summon machine goes brrr

I loved playing Inzektors the combos with giga-mantis/sword with hornet/MST were insane.

Nice Match =) I always liked playing against Inzektors with Wind-Ups the least, since the match up felt kinda the worst in comparison with the other decks of that period.

Anyways, regarding that play on Effect Veiler vs Magician + Shark combo:

Magician (and also Factory) trigger after the effect of the Wind-Up monster is resolved, meaning that you would have to summon the Shark in whatever position you choose and then you could trigger the Magician on a new chain, to which your opponent would respond with Effect Veiler.
Not that it really mattered in that situation, but just to clarify =)


Looking forward to more new historical content! ;)

I know everyone and their mother has made a video about that but I'd really love an introduction of yours into Hand Control 2003 & Chaos Yata 2004 due to your exceptional analytical video style.

Meet Inzektors, the most glass cannon deck to ever exist lol. Great match!

Magician 1 Veiler 2 is a new chain so Shark's position has to be determined before the Veiler

-Great stuff Joe! I've always loved your commentary and hearing you talk about your philosophy on the game! (I still remember the play you made with Photon Papilloperative and Leviar to Mole Lock the opponent under Messenger of Peace! Just amazing, and got me small goosebumps reading about it! 💪💪💪😁)
-Can hardly wait for your feature of inzektors! (my favorite deck back in the day even though many people hated it...😅😅) I personally teched 3 Divine Wraths in Inzektors because it often completely trumped the most common outs to Dragonfly-Hornet, such as Laggia and Dolkka, Effect Veiler, etc. And because the opponent often didn't expect Divine Wrath, I was often able to completely shift the game in my favor by still resolving a huge combo despite their outs! Plus with Wrath I could dump an inzektor in the grave, and then either Reborn or COTH it back it! 😁😁😁
-I was also wondering if you'd have thought about perhaps organizing some online tournament playing with certain formats such as Goat, Tele-Dad, March 2012 no priority, etc. Or even a tournament with our own (democratically) made F/L lists! For example without 'instant win' and' braindead' cards' like Card Destruction, BLS, Avarice, Morphing Jar. (And probably my Hornet to 1 as well, in order to force me to be more careful/skillful using it as my trump card! 😆😇😇).

Please keep up the good work! 😇😇😇

Always love this stuff as Yugioh is my biggest passion. Curious if your focus is only on the meta tiers of that format you are looking at? Or is it possible to get some love for some extremely unknown decks that maybe just did not have the push that the meta decks had but have a rather high ceiling regardless?
For example, I’ve already asked about 2007 GB which I think have amazing potential under that list and just before the release of LaDD. But also
Original six Sam
Volcanic monarch
Big/ little city 2007/2008
Phantom darkness Giga plants
2011 Watts (Joey David 2011 Nats watt)
Junk and debris in space
T-Thunder 45/ plasma control of 2008
Sandayu beasts
Just to name a small few.

Incredible! Gozen steals a few games from me, but when I play Inzektor that Gozen doesn't prevent Evolzar or I'm always MSTed

Floodgates win so many games. Nothing feels worse than having the perfect cards to make a big play just to be stopped by a onesided floodgate like that. You played well but such games are the only reason i am hassitating to play formats like this.
I tried playing some Pre-XYZ era format but all my buddies are doing is normalsummoning/setting a X-Saber/ gravekeeper/ T.G. and setting 4-5 backrows mostly warnings judgement and floodgates. Lets just say it got really infuriating really quickly...
