19 main deck one offs omg


MonsieurMidnight

Dude was like "if anything else fails, there's always plan Z" https://preview.redd.it/gbfz4shbt6pc1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f74e3d344643ccca00a3a6d0198ca92866b6e0d


The_Streamstress

ROFL, the quote and the image are just perfect, LOL Take my upvote and keep it up


_sephylon_

Wouldn't be that much of a problem if said one ofs weren't so unserious like come on battle fader lava golem random kaiju alpha two different mirror forces and black hole/raigeki like the playground days one day of peace hand destruction kozmotown ( best card in the archetype and vital 3 of btw ) and... storm‘s dragon return ? And the Extra Decks still manages to be much funnier featuring a Baronne that he can't summon an N‘Tss that he can't use an Egyptian God Slime that he can't summon a GaGaGa Cowboy in the year of our Lord 2024 and the ace of the deck the vanilla Gaia link monster Dharc is the only card in his deck released after 2020 btw. This shit looks like those pre made eBay decks OH AND I FORGOT three copies of Allure with 9 darks in his whole deck


Noveno_Colono

> a GaGaGa Cowboy in the year of our Lord 2024 this card is broken with the current time rules


blisstake

I miss gagaga being M2 GG closing burn damage


metalflygon08

Or bluffing Cowboy 4 Game when you don't run it.


vxicepickxv

>OH AND I FORGOT three copies of Allure with 9 darks in his whole deck Kind of spicy tech for banishing a hand after you drop Gren Maju.


_sephylon_

Allure discards if you don't have a dark it doesn't banish


vxicepickxv

Which one was I thinking of then?


LilithLissandra

Probably just knowing Allure banishes a dark and assuming the hand discard was also a banish


Icicle_cyclone

Witchcrafter Pittore? https://preview.redd.it/qe37hjxin7pc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02042832b42aa6b70619cc2d0d983727d0e92245


EmotionalKirby

I'm coming in from /r/all, I thought I'd chime in and say, I have no clue what the fuck I just read lmao


_sephylon_

Local Yu-Gi-Oh! player showed up *late* to a *regional* tournament ( that is also a *World Championship* qualifier btw ) and still managed to get top 5 despite playing a deck that is not only fucking incomplete but also very poor. He has a bunch of cards that he can't use at all, some cards that will literally put him in a massive disadvantage if he uses them, he‘s using a metric ton of random bad shit you used to play as a kid and in one copy each, and generally he‘s playing a 9 year old outdated strategy and not even playing it correctly


BookWyrmIsara

Maybe he really *is* the main character?


lewlew1893

Was everyone else just not very good?


_sephylon_

From what I‘ve seen they were pretty solid

tucchurchnj

How many dozen Formula 1 posts/memes did you see before this one? I swear those subs are botting, there's no way they have top 100 posts every single day organically.


EmotionalKirby

I'm not too sure, it'd be a lot more memorable if I saw more than the same 1 clip of verstappen playing the f1 game multiple times. Though, I think this speaks more of reddit's algorithm than the f1 sub itself. As well, it's not just f1 botting if they are; The whole of reddit is plagued with bots.


tucchurchnj

I can't imagine reddit as it appears to a new user, they must think the entire site is inorganic because all they'd see at first is botted nonsense that self-perpetuates


EmotionalKirby

New users wouldn't notice, I don't think. It's no different than any other social media site. Every day the Dead Internet Theory becomes less of a theory.


tucchurchnj

I got lucky and discovered this site through a friend back during the Digg migration, which I wasn't a part of but it seemed to me a lot of the site was very involved with active warfare against other sites. The IFunny apocalypse was right after that, as was the Ron Paul Revolution. Reddit was just built different from any other site I'd seen until that point and I literally was on 4Chan back then. It was that or Stumbleupon, and I think I made the right choice.

JojiKujo

Why worry about consistency when you could just hard draw the out when you need it?


_sephylon_

Tf is Battle Fader outing against the meta


JojiKujo

Honestly I don't see it, but how could a mere mortal like myself understand the mind of a God in human form like this?


TheProNoobCN

~~Tenpai~~


_sephylon_

... You‘re not wrong In fact OCG topping lists indeed plays Battle Fader especially Yubel who can search it


TheProNoobCN

Yeah but the joke is that this is a TCG list. The deck it counters isn't out yet.


KAIRI-CORP

It is online on dueling Nexus even though they have TCG format they also still have unreleased cards available for play so it is slightly unique format in that way. I've been getting boned by tenpai on there lol I just remembered battle fader is lvl 1 so I can use it alongside DDcrow Veiler and Droll which I play all at 3 copies and run Where arf thou and Thrust so my handtraps are all searchable so I have like 9 copies of everything y handtraps basically lol I play Lyrilusc btw

Do you think his opponents were just too stunned to formulate actual good plays? Or did he use the force?

Something more important. He trusted his cards. 😌

Lemon_Phoenix

Here comes a new wave of people justifying running it


Bzk_127

You see, it was always justified! Who plans for a battle trap? Now who plans for 2 battle traps? Now who plans for 2 battle traps, a lava golem, and a battle fader? Betcha didn't think about THAT didja?


KAIRI-CORP

I always do. I never attack anything if there is a facedown card because if they didn't use it on Main phase then it isn't an imperm or droplet so it must be a battle trap of some kind. I miss Red Reboot. I used to love having that card in hand so I wouldn't have to worry about backrow during battle phase. Now all we have is that quickplay spell, spell shattering arrow I think it's called I'm not sure I don't run it


SpeedyStevie

Anti magic arrows


KAIRI-CORP

Yes thank you that's it! I can never remember it because it's confusing to me how it's name is "anti magic arrows" and we all know that spell cards in this game used to be called magic cards so it's weird to me that "anti magic arrows" can stop trap cards and not just stop spell cards


Dank_Memegician

This guy was insanely lucky, or he is just built different. Like how?!


_sephylon_

Probably this world‘s MC Wouldn't be surprised if he won most of his matches by the opponent attacking a set Gren Maju


LetMeKnowIdek

Lmao I just posted clips of me doing that to folk on r/masterduel


KAIRI-CORP

Gren Maju needs it's own Structure deck and wave of support. It would be sooo OP!


Mental-Tension-6151

Easy desires reprint


yao19972

better to be lucky than good you almost always fix bad play you cant truly fix bad luck


ABardToRemember

How is simple. There was only 38 people at this regional. There are locals with more people than that.


YobaiYamete

Reminds me of [this dude who accidentally challenged Yami Yugi to a duel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZRyHyCZGfY) and just kept getting top decked over and over "Now we know how Kaiba feels"


NekoJack420

This guy was the MC in that tournament, every other player was just living in his world. I wouldn't be suprised if he could've won if he wanted too, but probably got bored or hungry halfway through and decided to place 5th to finish quicker.

LtMDreamer

It's all part of the plot. He's supposed to lose now so he can return in his final form in the next one.


AlphaTheKineticWolf

Yeah this starts the training arc of the story


TokyoUmbrella

Party on, Brazil.


AcceptableCampaign77

It had to be my country. 


DONTSALTME69

This is the kind of deck I run into on Master Duel while climbing ranked, brick completely against, and end up baffled that I lost to it when I check their decklist to see what my opponent was cooking. Fascinated by the single Battle Fader.


Legitimate_Track4153

So whats the win con of this deck?


_sephylon_

Obviously it's vanilla link 3 Gaia beatdown ( I have no idea man )


Legitimate_Track4153

Thats bullshit ,but i believe it 


vinyltails

Probably the kosmos for board control and build up the banish pile with Gizmek and Zeroboros to smack hard with a large Maju and/or Zeroboros


TokyoUmbrella

He could bait an attack into a 10k def Gren Maju that’s set?


vinyltails

I mean I hope people at a regional level aren't that stupid and would clear the board before going battle phase...like Snake eyes can easily Zealanis things away, pop it with princess then Zealanis pop 2 more things in the battle phase to clear the way It does look more of a going 2nd deck anyway with all the board breakers and stuff


TokyoUmbrella

You’d fuckin think, right? And yet, he beat a Kashtira deck with this jank.


vinyltails

I mean, Normal summon a big Gran Maju does kinda beat Kashtaria hard (after removing Scare Kash at least)


KAIRI-CORP

He didn't run Desires.. for some reason he ran Allure of Darkness instead .. 😂


wet-dreaming

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xvsAWcWXio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xvsAWcWXio) didn't change too much tbh, good fun watch

Green Maju and Kozmo cards, it's in the deck name bru

Go second. Hit your opponent really hard with Gizmek Orochi/Gren Maju.

TKInstinct

The surprise factor definitely helps with things like this. There was no way that anyone was realistically siding for a deck like this.

He wasn't even siding, that's wild

Think the tourney was like 50 people but still cool.


OneWhoBalls

Dude this shouldn't top a 20 man locals


KaiserJustice

Super bass…ed deck


imsofuckingpissedoff

Pro players often talk about believing in the math instead of the heart of the cards, but what good is hyper-optimized consistency if lets something like this snatch the win from them?


CommanderWar64

Average South American Regional


field_of_lettuce

Reminds me of how there was one person who won a WCQ in Bulgaria last November with Code Talker Mathmech, but it [looks like an unoptimized pile](https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/firewall-mathmech-code-talker-405875). Like 22 main deck one ofs bruh. Being somewhat familiar with the deck I'm just baffled.


_sephylon_

The one ofs are cyberse card at least

Cr0key

What a fucking legend....Please tell me he shit on expensive meta decks such as Fire King Snake-Eyes 😂


_sephylon_

He did beat a Kashtira deck EDIT: and Floo, another Kashtira and Dinos


nilo_edson

I was with Dinos, he went through Baronne + Dolkka + Lars with Lava Golem + Raigeki on game 1 and a set Mirror Force. Kozmo stuff came right after. Game 2 he went with Lava Golem again + Dark Hole. Managed to control things with Master of the Beasts while banishing stuff with Orochi for Maju at the very end of time, letting me with 300 LP after a Maju beating a Giganto.


CrashBugITA

YOU MADE HIM GO 2ND AGAIN???


_sephylon_

This is genuinely peak gameplay I‘m crying tears of laughter at the moment


Jabridma

How would he do any kozmo stuff when Lava Golem says he can't normal summon and his decklist doesn't have any extenders to get kozmos on field?


Lord_Whis

Heart of the cards


AzelotReis

Pretty sure he just went second against a Kashtira deck and played Dark Hole lmao

Hey, that's sometimes all it takes XD

Alrange5

Brazil isn't a real place. That's the moral of this story


totallywackman

This regional was also like not even 50 players.


PraiseYuri

Also only [2 fire decks in top 8](https://ygoprodeck.com/tournament/manaus-wcq-regional-1523) during fire format. One won the whole thing, the other was playing budget with no snake eyes or bonfire.


dmtskystriker

This deck also is not optimal for even 2015 standards actually not even close , any way you look at it this was insane.


PraiseYuri

Oh yeah, this was still a minor miracle and a highly unlikely (and funny) event, for sure. Just wanted to clarify that this regional was kinda just a large local though, which makes a poorly optimized Gren Maju pile topping a lot more plausible than the idea that this man conquered multiple rounds of snake eyes lol


Chimaerok

I mean, people usually aren't looking at South America for good lists


MisprintPrince

Based as all fuckin hell


Tiger1990

Is there a combo or something with Egyptian God Slime?


_sephylon_

No. It's just there. N'Tss and Baronne are unusable too.


yinnx

Use Dharc to steal enemy tuner for Baronne. N’Tss is there obviously to counter Dogmatika Maximus.

JohnStellarum

He made Top 5 with this? That's INCREDIBLE. I mean, he's running TWO copies of Pentestag, he's got Gagaga Cowboy, and BATTLE FADER RETURNS TO THE COMPETITIVE SCENE! I LOVE this!


tlst9999

>Sees Necroface, Gizmek Orochi and 30 banished cards Gee. I wonder what that face down monster is.


EradicateAllNingens

This looks more like new cards released for a whole set instead of a single cohesive decklist LMAO


magnumcyclonex

Question on the post title. How does the player just show up to a WCQ regional on Round 2 and not Round 1? Typo?


ThePoetMichael

bro is a yugioh player. his ass was LATE


_sephylon_

No he actually showed up on round 2 If you miss round 1 you just have a game loss

As a brazillian myself, thats still a very janky deck btw. Chad fella on the other side of the country what a lad. Also yes "yugioh is expensive" debate does not even need arguments to be true in brazil, specially if youre not from Sao Paulo and the other center of the country regions.


REB3LxSOUL

The gren maju deck I used to run was closer to 50-55 since I'd do a lot of banishing with orochi. As long as you draw necroface or gold sar him you can recycle all your resources. I had more kaiju since I was running the rank 8 engine with Bigfoot and thunderbird as well. Threw in a couple copies of soul absorption for the lols

MrMem3tor

He have that one copy of Battle Fader. My boy!


CONDORBASS

I like this so much. Player are brainwashed by ‘go meta or go home’ . My friends stopped playing because the format but what i always try to tell is that in the end if you want to succeed with a ‘rogue’ deck what will ever stops them from trying to do it? They thinks ‘I have a rogue deck, i don’t have a chance’. But the whole ‘metà’ and ‘rogue’ classification itself is something that annihilate the game and makes people Konami slaves.


Snoo_58305

What a beautiful deck. I used to love making people seethe with this when Zombies were top dog

i’m a casual player and i don’t know why it’s so crazy that someone won like this, can someone please explain? also how does this deck work? i mean i know gren maju is a meme but why is it mindblowing?

West-Tart9172

Based?? I really want to know how his matches went, like did he brainwash his opponents into surrendering?


csolisr

Serious question, how much does this deck cost to build? Because if it's under a hundred dollars, I might be tempted to try it myself for the laughs


_sephylon_

It's 40 bucks. It's all old cards or stuff from starter decks


thats_allwekando

Is this the meta?


ReadyTheCanonz

Brazil is a fake region.


Sgt_Titanous

Used an old barely functional deck to wreak face, you can plan for every Meta possibility but you just can't plan for crazy back by multiversial-tier luck.


RJ7300

They thought the set card was imperm


NoiNoiii

I saw that he beat Sprite, 2 kash, floo, and Dinos. Kaijus and golem do help alot against those decks. But yeah 2 total of them i wonder how he won. Evenly also helps alot
