Reading Dora Dora was scummy. You know what it do Jesse.

[MBTYuGiOh]

its frustrating that spreadsheets have transformed from "here's the gameplay loop, now you're familiar with it" to tricking yourself into a chinese room experiment. great to see a little pedagogical critique!

[Ragnarok]

This is why I like decks that are less linear, and you can get to the goal of your turn in a variety of ways through interruption like Tearlaments, Paleozoic, Dragon Link, Adamancipator, Infernoble, Traptrix, Raidraptor, etc. Full power Snake Eyes is the extreme version of this, almost every card in the deck is a one card starter and/or extender so it was pretty much immune to one or two interactions, and even using Ash is just giving them fuel for the fire charmer.

[epthopper]

Goal-based teaching is way more effective than trying to memorize specific lines. Know what you’re aiming for and the basic sequence of how your combo will play out, and then just play. Eventually once you know the deck inside and out, spreadsheet combos can be useful for perfecting your lines, but that’s going to be a minor boost in winrate comparatively

[Sunsaparilla]

I think understanding the basic combo lines is good for learning the deck, but not for learning Yugioh.

As shown in the Jesse's video, it's important to understand that in the majority of your games, you are going to play into interactions. You should practice how to navigate around different interruptions at different points in your combo.

Reading your opponent and improvising your gameplay are incredibly important skills to have in this game!

Good video!

My favorite games of yugioh are the ones where I deviated furthest from the beaten path and reached a completely undiscovered gamestate such as tribute summoning a monster to escape a lock

[metalmariomega]

When I learn decks, the first thing I learn is the cards they can use to play into and through disruption. The real challenge is learning the most efficient ways to not die when the opponent's on a buttload of breakers. "Surviving efficiently" is key to closing out games on the crackback, whether you OTK or not.

[adamquenano]

Some people literally believe they have to be like a Yugioh protagonist when starting out. Where they assume they can’t lose ever whether they go to locals or not before entering events. Because of this they don’t know how to evaluate taking losses and what to gain from getting them. Another one is they assume the game is too expensive to even try and act like they need to use their money for what matters more as an excuse.

I last played Competitively in Tengu Plant era, early 2010s. MAN the game sure has picked up. Really appreciate the insight, thanks!

[idkdontask]

I should just comment on the point of spreadsheets, he is absolutely right thay spreadsheets are counter productive but they are useful if youre just starting out with a deck and testing the deck online. But once you get familiar with what the cards do and why, you should be able to deviate from the "basic combo" spreadsheets

[JediJess]

This is also why I enjoy Mirror Matches or watching others use the core/archetype of my deck. I get to learn other methods.

Thank you Jesse for the informative video!
I started playing yugioh after 10 years and started with agents the most nerfed deck in yugioh history (check the Tcg banlist, you will believe me). I got utterly destroyed by full power tear and instead of throwing it away, I improved on the deck myself and could catch some wins with it. If you want to get good at the game, you really need to love an archetype and get so shit on that you learn from the mistakes and improve from it. thats how I learned to get better. Now after savage and baronne banned. it is really only a going 2nd option with the hope of nuking your enemy with kurikara. I switched to Ice Barrier and now I try to learn battle wasp/Insects

[JediJess]

I'd love to see a follow-up for this video going over how to build the deck.

Honestly, spreadsheets helped me broaden my combo route thought process. Sometimes I just dont realize or think of how to keep going or move around things and knowing what and how different cards interact and extend off of each other helped me a lot.

[AccelBurner]

To be honest I never knew about those spreadsheets when I am playing and building my deck, it's all about picturing most interactions in the current trends and what can be possibly brought, generally I often practice my own combos, my choke points, my points of adaptations and how to play around cases when the odds are not in my favor.

I am more into the understanding of playing directly and experiment then understand how I can change the deck

[vidkarlic]

This was a really good video. Wouldn't mind seeng more videos like this one.

[ecpsuper]

I've always found spreedsheets and combo videos to be a starting points when learning a deck. Just to give an idea what the deck is capable of and what the ideal endboard looks like. Unfortunatly most players dont try to learn past this point. Whether people like it or not interaction is a thing in this game and those variables can very easily put an end to a standard combo unless the player can adapt accordingly. I remember one time i was playing against a centurion player who had blazar backed with backrow and handtraps and I had to think and change up my plays depending on what disruptions they used up. After the duel i had a spectator say I should have had my combos memorized instead of thinking so much on what to do, i had to explain if I had done a standard combo I would have lost to certain disruptions hitting certain chokepoints of said combo.

[notRowan]

I learned salamangreat through learning the main combo line and months of experience and experimenting

[Gilgamesh-emru]

I've never been a fan of spreadsheets. that's also why I got so good with Yubel with it's initial support. there were a lot of lines that could be done even if you did not have access to your yubel part of the deck. even now I can still pivot very easily based on what my opponent does.

[JAMbandful]

Am I the only one who’s been learning combos the hard way like a cave man? I didn’t know people did this at all! Great info all around in the video.
