Also remember that Illumirage is in BOSH and it can run right over Cyber Dragon Infinity in most cases.

The more I look at Illumirage, the more I fall in love with it. It's such a great card.

It can suicide Infinity if it has 1 Xyz material. It can't kill it with two. Remember that Illumirage affects itself so basically has 700 ATK.

E: I hosed up the maths. It suicides with 2 materials.

Can someone explain to be how Ptolemaeus is used to abuse Outer Entity Azathoth? I see it mentioned repeatedly as why Ptolemaeus was banned in the OCG.

I'd have thought the main Azathoth play would be instant fusion -> noden -> noden summons a lvl 4 synchro -> overlay nyarla -> overlay Azathoth.

Cyber Dragon Infinity and Constellar Pleiades are why Ptolemaeus got banned.

Who's telling you that Azathoth is the reason? Japan only got Azathoth like a week before the ban happened.

Nyarla's a much easier way of going into Azathoth. People just use it to seal the kill with its monster effect lockdown I think.

In a thread on Reddit about CDI coming out in the TCG. People are arguing that CDI coming out isn't going to cause ptol to be banned because ptol was banned because of its abuse with Azathoth. I don't have an exact link unfortunately.

Ptolemaeus tripling in price because CDI was announced is pretty hilarious.

E: Just read the card text more closely. I'm guessing it isn't because of the nuke effect of Azathoth, but rather the "your opponent cannot activate monster effects for the rest of the turn" component. Detaching three from ptol to summon Azathoth and disable monster effects sounds pretty crazy good against EMEm, combined with shock master blocking spells that is an effective instant win.

Those people are dumb and shouldn't talk about metagames they don't know anything about. Azathoth had nothing to do with Ptol being banned.

It's for the fact that your opponent can't use monster effects the turn Azathoth is summoned. You summon him during your opponent's DP, they're hosed. It is absolutely a reason that ptol was a problem card.

CDI was the only thing that ptol needed to be three mat for. Two mats, plus its EP effect would mean that you could drop Azathoth or pleiades for almost no investment. Couple that with shockmaster and you've got a hell of a lock with little investment.

You can mute the video and still see the combo.

AznEyes is an awful person, but I still watch his poo poo because he usually takes the time to explain combos and how/why they work, instead of just putting up a sped-up YGOPro replay with awful music over it.

I'm fond of Cimoo and Lithium2300. Cimoo for his in depth tech videos (if you can handle his hyper-enthusiasm), and Lithium2300 for his cross banlist duel videos

Lithium2300 is the best I've seen by a fairly wide margin. I used to follow TheDuelLogs, but he heavily sacrifices playing well in favor of making GBS threads out content like crazy. Oh, and Tainted Wisdom is neat for showing off crazy impractical combos, but you won't learn anything from watching them other than why certain cards are banned.

I'd love to see some goon-generated "Yugituber" content to counter some of the dregs out there.

Cimoooooooo (Exactly 8 o's, just full of energy in his videos, though some, like his early banlist videos, are plain awful) and AlintheaYoh (European player, judge, very experienced, and well though-out videos. Awesome deck profiles. Has started to sell out a bit recently, but still a good guy) are quite nice.

Depending on your tolerance, I usually enjoy MegacapitalG (Though he has trouble reading half of the time), and XUnderGroundMembersX (unusual sense of humor and unique videos, but like button whores, though I personally love them).

Azneyeswhitedragon (or Slaydra as he goes by now) was decent a couple of years ago, but now it's all memes and streams...completely unawesome.

You can also check out House O' Champions or TheCardGuyz for professional players and their decks, profiles, etc.


Edit: Also, watch out for Kozmo Kings, now.


Double Edit: Can't believe I forgot to mention GalacticGod (He's pretty chill, nice, simple videos), and Yugimation, who has some cool videos.

If you are into product openings, JRBjobber is your best bet. He's somewhat gotten onto the "meme" train as of late, and is somewhat of a sellout, but he has a fun-loving personality, and does a good range of product, including trade binders and such for all of the jealous nerds online to be angry over (He's heavily involved in selling product, so that's why).

you definitely want dweller and emeral. emeral is important when you go through all of your constructs, which can happen a lot in the kozmo matchup. dweller is for grave stuff like BA and the mirror, also anoyatillis.

stick to 1 (max 2 if you really like it) trick clown. it kinda sucks to draw them sometimes.

foolish is definitely a staple, I'd find room for it.

yeah if you don't see yourself going into masquerade a lot you can drop it. you can el shaddoll through nekroz of valkyrus so you don't need to commit 3 level 4s to just get through valk.

keep 2 winda as you're not always going to see light monsters and winda is the next best thing to make when you have anoyatillis out. (shekinaga being the first so they can't go into an R4 to deal with anoyatillis)

MST > fairy wind, but I mained 2 shaddoll dragon for a regional last weekend and it hardly bothered me as the flip effect came in handy a lot. thus I felt like I didn't need it for the qliphort MU.

Took suggestions on board and took my deck to locals. Dropped book and move denko to the side, and added in foolish and mind control. I only drew into mind control once in the nekroz matchup, and it got trishula'd. I'm undecided on keeping it in or swapping it for a third squamata (if I do then mind control is going into the side). Foolish I ran into a few times and it was always useful. I took out masquerade for Abyss Dweller, and I am glad I did. It was crazy useful in the Nekroz match to stop them from getting back their ritual spells, and making it with noden makes it a more useful 2200 beater.

I'm thinking of dropping 1 instant fusion and 1 noden (I can recycle my noden with emeral quite easily) to fit in glow up bulb and naturia beast, and probably drop 101 for a trish because I never make it. I'm thinking this mostly because I got a synchro trishula as collateral in a trade :v:

I came first at locals undefeated and won a bunch of High Speed Raiders and Astral Packs, so thanks for the help!

^Just a heads up, Naturia Beast isn't really good in Shaddolls, because it requires both an Earth Tuner AND Earth non-Tuners, meaning you pretty much need Glow-up Bulb + Hat Tricker/ Nefarious Archfiend Eater of Nefariousness. You can playtest it, but It won't come up very much. Dropping 101 is a good idea, though.

I'm aware beast is a pain to get out. I don't really like the effort to get it out, but it is an effective win condition versus nekroz and they're the deck to beat. If I get both GUB and damage juggler in grave then that is a guaranteed Naturia Beast (fuse damage juggler with a Shaddoll for construct and send GUB with mathematician or foolish).

I feel like it would be a bit wasted to run GUB just for Trishula too, but Trishula would feel wasted if I need to go for a weird hog/falco/squamata play or something involving veiler to get it out.
