The BIGGEST FREAK OUT in Yu-Gi-Oh!

[star_sultan]

Nah Ben is better than me cause I'm keeping that deckbox lol

[magma]

I have a story to share.

The time period is a while after Battle of Chaos’s release. Everyone who thought they were the man at my locals was playing either Branded or D/D/D.

One funny Saturday locals I decided to bring the new jank brew I had cooked up for less then twenty dollars in Yosenju. The deck that’s whole goal was summon a few dudes bounce your cards and pray to god you get in for game. I was not on the best build for the deck by a long shot this was when I was unemployed and a high school student so I didn’t even have ash blossoms yet.

The first two rounds of the locals actually had gone decent not a lot of people expect you to say going second after winning the dice roll in branded despia format. I was going into round three on a nice 2-0 win loss.

I say down from my opponent for the purpose of this story we shall call them Declan after the person who uses D/D/D in the anime.

He had come to this locals for a while now had the reputation of taking locals a bit too seriously. He had also had some times where people said he had cheated before but I never saw it.

Declan had that type of vibe to him the one that you knew if he was riding high or livid at the game based on his movements. Going in I could tell he was riding high he was 2-0 like me and was talking all day about how he was one of the best D/D/D players.

Game 1 was decent I had barely managed to inch out a win with a last minute draw of Yosenju Oroshi Channeling. A card that either lets me set two pend scales for free from deck or add a level 5 or higher Yosenju. The card allowing me to get the scales I needed for a massive pend summon of three Mayosenju Hitot which bounced three cards and proceeded to gain 4500 attack due to its none once per chain effect to make all Yosenju monsters gain 500 for each card bounced off the field.

Game 2 he went first again and demolished me i barely could get anything done and game 2 ended with a crushing loss on my end. This round win I feel made Declan think that game one was a fluke and he had this in the bag no problem.

Game 3 and the big moment of this story. I decided to go second and my god my hand in terms of OTK ability was amazing as long as my opponent didn’t stop to much.
Yosenju Oroshi Channeling
Kama 3
Yosenju sabu
Mayosenju Daibak
And a second copy of channeling

Declan gets his opening hand on turn 1 looks at me with the cockiest smile he could and says “Pass turn”

I look at him asking if he is sure and he says yes.

My turn goes as follows.
Draw into called by the grave.

Activate channeling 1 to add a copy of Yosenju oyam just in case

Activate the second channeling to set scales from deck for free

Summon Kama 3 and use him to summon sabu

Sabu adds another copy of daibak

I pend summon the two daibak using one to bounce back my scales so they aren’t destroyed.

When I try to enter battle to swing at his board of nothing for lethal Declan goes “Activate Nibiru” I look at him for a moment and go “you can’t that was only 4 summons”

He then looks at me and the board and with the most pissed off face says “Proceed”


I swing for game and win the match 2-1 Declan proceeds to drop his hand revealing the nibiru and full combo. He could have set up a full board but just didn’t. He then proceeded to pack his bag and walk out of the store not even telling the owner he’s dropping.

The next week he goes into the stores discord and says he’s quitting yugioh because it “isn’t fun at the casual level anymore”

I read that message and thought I might have caused a man to stop playing Yugioh by playing Yosenju.

That’s my story probably not gonna get a video but felt like sharing it.

Edit: well this has become my most popular comment ever it seems. Thanks for that guys I really hope this gets a video now and if it does I don’t know I’ll make a deck list of the Yosenju deck as a meme and share it.

So when you think that Ben is the one who made the mess, it turns out to be his final opponent that not only cheated and then starts whining over a common 30 cents card. Classic Yu-gi-oh

[HieiKirisame]

So... Ben's opponent was mad at 2nd place at a locals? I'll take that all day.

[sebastiantschatordai]

Whoever that Madolche player was, you have A LOT of maturing left to do.

[datruthgt]

Ben didnt deserve to deal with all that bs lol.

[stingslim]

That has to be one hell of a plot twist with the " I used the Salon effect "

[CyberseGreninja]

To this day Ben's opponent is still triggered by ocean waifus. He can't even watch the little mermaid without holding somebody's hand.

[FableLionHeart]

I cant be the only one thinking "what are you gonna do now big boy the duels over"

[crimsonphoenix]

Alright, I've got a story for you all. Gather round, gather round:
The year was 2023 at the Sydney YCS. Tearlament format is in full swing, the deck at full power, and me and some friends decided to go to our first YCS ever. I decided not to use Tearlament or the upcoming deck Kashtira and chose to play Crystal Beasts. I'll be completely honest, I never thought I'd end up taking this deck to such a high-level event, but one of my best qualities as a duelist was unpredictability. So fast forwarding to Round 5, i was 4-1, having done, surprisingly well beating Tearlament, Madolche, and Purrley with my only loss to Kashtira. So i was chilling. Round 5 was announced, and i sat at my table waiting for my opponent to arrive. Some friends were down the other end of the table, and they were nervous. In turn, i was starting to feel the pressure as this is my first YCS. Then, after about 2 minutes of waiting, my opponent arrived, and to my utter shock, it was an elderly man. I started having some small talk with the old man and he was very nice. He told me his grandsin had gotten him into Yugioh, and he was excited to be playing his collection of cards he has had since the start of the game. So we started our game, and he won the dice roll electing to go first. He started playing some odd cards like reload and sangan. After linking away his Sangan, he searched his deck for a left arm of Exodia. I. Was. Panicking. There is no way i was going to lose to an old man with Exodia... the two guys next to us said, "Damn, you got paired up against Grandpa Muto." After some time, the old man ended his turn having searched his deck for 3 pieces with 2 cards face-down. I drew for turn and started going all out trying to summon my strongest card, Ultimate Crystal Rainbow Dragon Overdrive. But alas, I was short one Crystal Beast. So i decided to at least do some damage. I tried swinging with Sapphire Pegasus only to be met with a Mirror Force. That hurt a lot. I had no choice but to end my turn. The old man draws a card, sighs, and passes to me. This is it, my chance to take back this game. I drew a card, and it's the Crystal Beast i was missing this entire time, Amethyst Cat. I normal summon it and summon my Rainbow Dragon with there being 7 Crystal Beasts on the field and gy. I then banish all of them to summon my Ultimate Crystal Rainbow Dragon Overdrive. I go to battle and attack. On the attack declaration, the old man flips up a Magic Cylinder. The duelists beside us cheered in excitement. I quickly activate the effect of my Ultimate Crystal Rainbow Dragon, tributing it to summon back 5 Crystal Beasts dodging the Cylinders. I swing in for the last bit of damage and win the game. Game 2 was very similar, but i ended up winning the match 2-0. After signing the match slips, the old man and I started having a very nice conversation for the next 10 minutes, waiting for the rest of the matches to finish. Once time was called in the round, we shook hands and parted ways from there. I ran back to tell my friends what just happened, and they didn't believe me at first until the grandson ran up to me and thanked me for being nice to his grandpa as that was the best duel he's ever had. I unfortunately didn't make it to day 2 with a 6-3 record, but i didn't care. After that, i was filled with more determination to do better and eventually make it to day 2 at a YCS.
So that's my story. Just thought we could use a more wholesome story after today's insight into the dark side of the duelist.

[nope]

> "this game was a LONG one"
> "8 or 9 turns"

Is that considered a long game now?

[SSJBass]

“His opponent was on Madolche.”

There’s your red flag right there.

[bvang]

People forget that this game is supposed to be for fun, especially at locals. If you're going to play to win only, use a meta deck.

[abyssyahoo]

Bro…as a Madolche player; this kind of upsets me. Not because Ben won cuz, let’s be honest you have to play Kaijus for unaffected monsters, but because he threw a perfectly nice Madolche deckbox at his opponent! You guys don’t understand! That Puddingcess deckbox is REALLY NICE and hard to find and he just chuckled it at Ben 😢. I would like to think that Ben’s opponent had some sense to check if the card was worth anything before ripping it in anger but…that’s just wishful thinking. I apologize to Ben as most Madolche players are not like this and he does not represent us in any way! Thanks for the story and hope you have a lovely day everyone.

[The_Lovey_Informer]

[moonlight]

Reminder that there are 3 Normal Summon type

1. Modify Base Normal Summon
This modify your Normal Summon from 1 to specified number. Only the highest will apply. Example: Floo Snowl, Morganite, Double Summon, etc.

2. Additional Normal Summon on specific monster
You special summon Dark Beckoning Beast, then proceed to Normal Summon Samsara D Lotus.
Result (in Master Duel).
• DBB effect used automatically, meaning your base normal summon is not used.
• If you have Madolche Salon as well, you *cannot* use its normal summon effect, so you have to use your base normal summon to NS Madolche monster.
Example Card: DBB, Salon, Balancer Lord, Photon Emperor, Scrap Raptor, etc.

3. Perform Normal Summon.
This action can be done as many times as you like, without using any of two above. However, it is usually limited by the card that grants you this.
Example: Ultimate Offering, Blackwing Simoon, Soul Energy Max GY effect, Cynet Optimization, etc.

Ben's opponent didn't believe in the heart of the cards.

[kurocollie]

I remember a small story from the store I play pokemon TCG at. So this kid (aged 13 or 14) was competing and we (Me and the regulars) have played him before and knew he was a trash talker. This was during the Expanded format where older, and more broken cards, were available so the kid built a deck around Dialga Vstar and Dialga GX. The goal of this deck was to get both your dialgas set up, and use both their moves that say "your opponent is forced to skip their next turn". I was playing this kid and knew he was a trash talker and endured it for the match, i was using a standard deck which had no older cards so i was at a disadvantage. During this game the kid would tell me how to play my deck and i was playing wrong and the cards i was using were for "pussies". I admit i was using a card called "path to the peak" which stopped most pokemon from having an ability. Regardless the kid tried to use an ability which was blocked and i told him so, the insults came rolling in but for a minute or 2 before he realised his setup was stopped. He passes the turn and i take the final knock out to win the game.

It's not an interesting story in the slightest but the best part was the kid is a deck copier and had copied the deck from someone else and called it "bad" when he lost with it.

Dude Ben is a such pure heart person, like whether the card worth 30c or even 1c that dude ain’t leaving the shop without an apology or at I rip off one of his cards too
