 If you've ever been on this channel before, you probably already know two things about me. I am addicted to trading card games and anime. And I mean really addicted, I was playing these games in lunch during middle school, I was always a lost cause. But regardless, that is exactly why I was so excited when Genshin Impact approached me with an opportunity to sponsor this video. If you didn't already know, Genshin Impact is an open world action RPG game available on PC, Android, iOS and PlayStation 4 and 5. Now like I said, Genshin Impact is an open world action RPG game where you're supposed to go around adventure with new characters, unlock and compete in all sorts of fun gameplay, but in the brand new V3.3 version of the game, along with some new challenges and missions to complete, they've also introduced the new Genius Invocation TCG. And to be honest, I might be taking this sponsorship solely as a chance to play the TCG, so uh... So anyway, in this video, I will be taking on two other friends in this new trading card game that none of us have played just yet, in a pursuit to find out who is the best at trading card games. And if you ever want to check the game out for yourself, you can use my link down below in the description. With that out of the way, let's go ahead and get into some Genshin Impact. Mmm, time to play some card games. So here we are. I'm ready to take on both R- Who just jumped on my screen and jumped off, what? That would be me. Rhyme and C-Rex, aka Dion, we're ready to play the game. I'm frolicking. Wait, Dotto, you didn't use frolicking in your video yet. Alright, everybody frolicking. Frolick! Frolick! First, I have to set my active deck. Yes, I did name it Best Deck. I had to write that. The game did not regenerate that. Which one of you would like to be invited first? I'm going to RNG this. I'm RNG-ing it, I'm RNG-ing it, I'm RNG-ing it. Alright, I'm going with this person. Who was it? Yeah, it's me! Oh, we're running pretty similar teams here, huh? Please, first, first, first. Yes, let's go. I've won the coin toss. This game is about to be easy. Not a question. Why won't I'm not looking at anything here? Uh, this card is not going to be useful for later in the game. You can see this is a late game card, so we're going to switch that off. Everything else, I'm pretty confident. I'll go ahead and keep, especially with this card in my hand early on. This is going to end up just like the character duels. I'm going to crush you and throw you into the wind. I see you're copying my team pretty much. Yeah, pretty much. Who's your first character? Who is your active leading character? Deluk, huh? Deluk, give me Deluk! Razor. Now, Razor usually is my late game finishing character, but ooh, not the best roles I've ever seen. Or what elements is your deck? Well, right now I'm running Razor, who is a lightning user, and then, um, yikes, yikes, yikes. I have a hybrid or I should say a tribrid deck because my deck is mixed with all the mixes. Dotto and Dion both need to have the correct elemental dice for the attack. Yes, we roll dice for elemental attacks. All the other dice can be used for playing cards. So watch as I spend three colorless mana. Wait, hold on, wait, this might be the craziest turn of all time. The first turn being the craziest of all time. That says a lot. Here we go. I'll use three mana to set up Razor with his plus two claymore, for when I'm lower than 6,000. So right now you don't need to worry about that too much. I wasn't worried at all. Oh no. I already have the ultimate combo in my hand. Now I'm going to strategize by paying one random colorless mana. I can go ahead and boom, OK, OK. A couple of other cards, a couple of other cards from my boys. And then to be honest, I must have spent the wrong mana. This is the worst day of all time, but that's fine. I'm going to go ahead and give this claymore to Diluc. I'm setting up my team here. You're setting them all up for failure. Two of my electric mana went the way of the Dotto here. The way of the Duh. Now, while he's doing the way to the Dotto, I need everyone to come to decide who wins his first duel. I will start by playing. He might attack. He's got eight mana left. We can see over here he's got eight mana. I will start by playing Catherine onto the field, pausing my switches to be considered a fast action. Popped off with her good friend, Lu Su. Oh my god, an insanely powerful duo already. Now when I switch, I will gain energy for my switch. So I will go ahead and do said switch right away into Chongyun. He gets an ultimate point. He needs three of those to be able to use his cloud parting star for seven damage. This game might be over before it even starts. All right, I will just go ahead and... He's gonna hit me. He's got four energy. He's gonna hit me. First, I'm also gonna play my Knights of Favonius library. Why is it that Dotto was snitching in like Rhesus or something like that? He's gonna hit me too, sir. I don't wanna re-roll anything. All right, I'm gonna re-roll anything, okay. Interesting play. Now I will just go ahead and hit you. Layered frost that's gonna hit for three. I'm not below six just yet, but I am looking forward to that attack. Why do you think I only did three damage, clown? Now I'll end my round. Oh, also, I don't have the choice. Ooh, it looks like I get to attack first. Hmm, ooh. Do you think it matters? Okay, okay, we love to see that. I said ooh and re-rolled everything. That wasn't the best ever, but now I have the multi-code rainbow energy. I'm about to go nuts. Rainbow energy counts for anything. Yeah, you don't even wanna see me with the rainbow energy, bro. It's about to go nuts right here. What's the play looking like, Dotto? The play is looking good. Show me what you've got, clown. I need to start building up damage. Try it. But do I wanna spend that much money on it? Yeah. All right, I will start building up damage. So I'm just gonna hit you for a clean four here. Claw and thunder, big four damage, and an ult charge for me. You'll regret leaving him on the beat. I don't think I will. I suppose you'll find out in a moment. Or whispering in my ear. I'm going to switch back to DeLuke. And being that he has no energy, I can gain an energy. That is a cheap tactic. That's the last of that strategy he'll be able to use though. For now. And now I'm going to allow DeLuke to satiate himself with some grub, boosting his attack. Next elemental burst deals three damage. Jesus. Yeah, plus three. So how about ideal five with searing onslaught? Oh, that hurt. Dotto's in a verge of losing his first character. It's not too bad though. As now you've powered me up. How does he feel to be the only one of us who's gonna lose every game in their video? It's not going to happen. I think I'll keep things nice and simple. Go ahead and switch with your tail tucked between your legs. I mean, to be fair, Deon, if he loses, this will be pretty on-brand for every TC video. I can see you only have two energy crystals left, so you don't really have the merit to talk back to me because you can't attack. So why don't I just do this, huh? Why don't I do a little bit of grubbing, a little bit of snacking? I'm gonna go, go, go, go, go, go, go. You'll back to four. Then I'm just gonna bonk you over there for three. Come here. Still fighting. Three damage, take it. You're a fool. Did you really think I was planning to do it for this turn? I don't need to worry about it. I thought I was just walking through this trap. You survived temporarily, but before I end my turn, I will play the Dawn Winery, causing my switches to be one less energy, and I will end my round. Mm, he's shifting around. Mm, I'll also end my round. It's time we move on to the next one. I'm tired of being here. Two cards apiece. Since I go first next turn, you will lose. Couldn't you have played one of those cheaper cards? You still had energy dot all. Only one. Yeah, you should have switched with that one. RNG's not really helping out here. Three roll these three. Quick, quick, quick, the RNG is helping me. The quick, quick, quick, quick. Not the best rolls I've ever seen. All right, I will go ahead and play the bestest travel companion. That's one of the best cards in the game. Another piemon card, bro's cheating. You just go ahead and, gosh, I just can't finish you off yet, and it's killing me. Well, leaving you with one and giving me my ultimate is good enough for me. Ouch. That's bad. It looks ultimate is really, really powerful. When the crane returns, allows me to activate it so that the next skill causes me to switch. That's the best play to make. He's thinking. Dotto, how about I just actively voice your thoughts? Right now, you're debating on whether you should switch out your character or leave him out there to face the wrath of DeLuke. But I'm actually not worried about that at all. Because what I'm going to do is activate Claw and Thunder, giving Raven his ultimate while also switching him out. Smart. But this is going to leave you wide open for an attack. Ultimate. Now I don't have the energy. Is what I would say if I didn't have the energy. Does he have the energy for the ultimate? But unfortunately, it won't finish off DeLuke. So I would leave my DeLuke in a compromising situation if I use it and then leave him active. Yes, that makes sense. That definitely makes sense, yes. So instead, I will switch over to Razor, and that will grant me, oh wait. It is a fast action. I forgot, but that was a fast action, yes. It was a fast action. He gets to move again. The switch was not that bad of a move. And then I will just go ahead and attack DeLuke for three. Claw and Thunder, I've used that skill many times myself. I can only respect that. On my turn, I'll go ahead and keep things simple by activating Wang Shu In. This card allows my lowest health to heal on my band. This guy's healing. That makes his team pretty tanky. I'm pretty familiar with that move. That's my turn. You fool. I only have two energy crystals left, bro. Yeah, true, true, true. Forgot about that. I ain't gonna lie, I forgot about that one, didn't I? He had so much confidence that even I thought he was about to get the move off. All right, I'm gonna go ahead and heal DeLuke a little bit. Go ahead and eat up. And then I will just go ahead and end it right there. Ooh, good draw. A huge draw. He was sitting on the sofa. It was me. Let's see. But the RNG is just not earn a side. RNG has been terrible to me. I'll be rerolling multiple times while you struggle with your RNG, Morzel. This wasn't the best possible rolls for me. How do you wanna go about this, Dotto? I think for starters, I owe it to myself that I must strategize. This card allows me to draw two additional cards. I'm a pained one energy of a card. Then I'll play Catherine. We all know and love this card. Catherine, very good card. Allows all my switches to be active or at least the first one. My style. I'm equipping DeLuke with his own special card. Searing on slot. Immediately or full. Attacking me while hiding. Not a bad move. A damn shame that your DeLuke will be nullified. What's that mean? How are you going to nullify DeLuke? I switch over to my DeLuke. That is a fast action. It's his first switch. And then I will use Dawn to show you that it's the ultimate power of DeLuke. Ooh, damn it. Why are you more than normal? Ah, you're cheap. You killed one of my characters this turn. But now I get a free elemental dice. How does it come back with this? I think I just owe it to myself to build up. I don't really have anything else I can do. Do with that, coward. I feel like killing DeLuke is the most important thing you can do. Actually, it is true. I have to just kill DeLuke, huh? Try. But I have to. I should leave him on the bench. Don't know if I... I don't know if this is smart. Try, Dotto! Try! He's got four crystals left. It would be too much. I don't think it's worth it. I do not think it's worth it. So I'm just going to do a nice standard two damage here. That'll get me my ultimate. I think it's best to play it safe right now. His ultimate is pretty annoying, too. Especially when you come out with Catherine. You'll create an icicle field. So after me switches, he does extra damage to my point. I will go ahead and... What's he got? What's he got? What's your energy? You look like zero and you haven't ended your turn. I think it's in my best interest to just end the round so I go first next time. You can't do anything on your turn anyway. Go on and end your turn. He's spitting. He's spitting. I have to end my turn. But Razor gets another two. He's not out of six yet. It comes down to this roll right here. It really, really does. It could be better. Oh, the gods have chosen. Got him. Just a decent enough roll. A decent enough roll. Will it be good enough? Bro is rolling a lot of dice. I am. It's true. Okay. How do I want to play this? So first as a fast action, I'm going to switch over to Chong Yun. And then I will equip Chong Yun with the Wolf's Gravestone by paying... Oh, they have to all three be the same element. Quill? I didn't read that part. Okay. He equips a sword, a claymore even. Another claymore equip, that's going to do a lot of damage now. Four in fact. Swift and merciful. Four damage, that's huge. And he gets his ultimate. It's my turn now. Got to make a choice here. Then make it. I've got to do this. I'm influencing the whole field with waltz. This is going to create three icicle tokens. Every time I switch, you're taking two damage. Well, how are you going to switch again? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Damn, I need to do six damage. Sounds like Tian doesn't have the damage. I made that assumption myself. I will go ahead and... Ah! I won't do six damage though, I think. I'm going to switch over to razor. Now it's my turn. Wait, I thought it costed no energy. You're a fool if you thought that. Oh, it still ended my turn. It didn't. Oh yeah, it did. Time to activate the bestest travel companion. No, that's not what I meant. I thought it was a fast action. Oh, that's once per round. We're still on... Yeah, I already used that ability, okay. I should be able to easily kill you if I switch over to my razor and eww! Four damage for an explosive finish. And you get to attack still. Hmm, I do also use forget to look back. Let me see which move would be the most beneficial. What is your ultimate? It would do six damage and also activate the wolf within, but I don't know if I'll have enough time to be alive and still use the wolf within here. But I, I don't think it matters. I'll just wolf within for eight huge damage. Ah! Say goodbye to your razor. Once again, Donald plays a character based around a wolf. Impossible. It seems to happen in every gaming place. I will switch, then I will simply end. That was a smart choice. All right, now you should be in trouble. Now you should be in trouble. Huge re-roll here. I need something and I received nothing. Every die has value. That roll result might have just decided the game for me. I don't know if I'll be able to make it past these horrible crystals. You wanna see something crazy, Dotto? Now? Oh, you are in trouble. Ha ha ha! So, first. What's your combo? What's your combo to end me here? First I'm gonna just play strategize because the order of operations of this turn matters. I strategize huge cards. And then I will do a devastating amount of damage. The most that we've ever seen. I will do cloud parting star for 12 damage. Oh my God! Even a max health, you wouldn't have survived that. That's going to cost me to switch but that'll also trigger two more icicles on their way to you. Wait a minute, this is gonna come down to the last move here. It is my turn, isn't it? That it is, so it is, so it is. You've got a lot of options. In theory, you should still be able to win. I think the best bet right now is just to activate Causa, giving me a chance to re-roll my die. I knew, I knew. When I saw that card, I was like, Dotto's playing that. Looks like I've got one that I need. But I can also re-roll twice. Yes, go back to Ryan's video. I misplayed, I could have rolled again. I probably won that one. I get an additional dice. Now behold, as I use my cold strike and equip it, it automatically makes me attack for three damage. It de-ideals six damage in one turn. And it also heals me for two. Will this be Dotto's first victory? Is the curse broken today? What do I need? What do I need? You need God. You'll need God if you're going to beat me. So many of these cards aren't even like, I can't even use. All right, well, I have to maximize my damage. I don't think I can win. The four energy? Yes, you can definitely still attack. Shit. You never know that. Maybe the best bet is to end your turn and maybe you go next. You start first. All right, I'm just going to go ahead and use Vestis Travel companion. That's a great card. With four crystals left, that means most of his crystals are probably rainbow. God, but unfortunately, it's bloody just not enough. You have to trust in my cards. They've brought me this far. They can secure the victory for me. Since I have no way of actually beating you in one turn, I think I just have to end my round and hope that I go first next time. There won't be another turn. I know there won't, but shit. There won't be another turn. Say goodbye. No! No! That's one victory for team. Uh, three different colors, let's go. I was also three different colors. Still using your mono eye stack? I am. My hand is ready. I'm good to go. I'm good to go as well. I actually swapped. I did not mean to swap. Bro, Mulligan needs to tie her hand. I know exactly who I'll go with first. Anyone you are. Hmm, who do I want to lead with? Hold on, this changes a lot. It doesn't matter who you're going to lead with. Every card on your field is trash. Every card has value and they've all brought me here. What if Dice was doing triple jumps? All right, I'm not going to lie. I'm going full one-minded strategy. What an abysmal draw. Oh my goodness, the worst hand I've ever seen of Dice. I will play Paimon, but get rid of my fire card. Actually unreal. Then I'll play this. I use that. And then. He's activated his Favonius library. Now he can select any elemental dice to re-roll. Look at that, God is on my side. I would just attack you. Take a pathetic turn. Three damage, not the most damage I've ever seen, but something I do have to respect. You will see way more damage in this video. I'm going to go ahead and also play my bestest travel companion, giving me three. I will make sure the only win is the win against Dion. And how will you beat me when I strategize for one color? That's equal to couple grade. That lets you draw two cards. But I'm not done quite yet, am I? Wait, wait, I think I... No, no, no, no, I'm not doing that. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Sounds like you're pretty done. Nope, not yet. No, wait, wait, wait, wait. Sounds like you're done. I'm not done. In fact, I'm going to do a toss up here. Allow me to re-roll any of my dice I want. Oh wait, you have seven dice. I thought you had one. That's a lot of dice. What? Bro, bro thought I had nothing. Bro, I didn't know my numbers. It's okay, come on, give me some rainbow dice. I need one, please! No! Not today, Dotto. Not today indeed, not today indeed. You have answered a duel that you're going to lose. Actually... My actions are very cold, Dotto. All right, here we go. I'm doing three damage and equipping Deluke with Flowing Flame. This is huge. I'm not worried. It's gonna cost me less Iro energy every time now. I will simply just end my turn, starting you around. It seems like a good play to me, but I will say I am going to go ahead and give Star Signs to Deluke, giving him another ultimate charge. That's not good. We might be seeing the dawn come quicker than you think. That's not good, that's a lot of damage. I will draw! I too will draw. I'm gonna roll on RNG, give me good dice. Please, please, please. Oh my god, not good. What with my dice? Luckily, I get to re-roll everything. My dice are so bad, please. Okay, that's something I can work with. That's definitely workable, it's not the best. I don't know why my dice hate me, but I can use this, I can use these dice at least. That's usable, oh, very usable. And I get two more rainbow. What story are you going to lose to do? Well, I first I will activate Thelonious Cathedral. Then this, and now I'll attack you for three, Dotto. I do not fear your ultimate. Reach me. My turn, first of all, I'm going to eat some lovely hash browns. Damn, you know they cook this one up fresh. That did two additional health. What flavor was that? Doesn't matter. Potato flavor. I'm gonna use Paimon. What do I wanna do here? You will surrender, that's what you're gonna keep. I think you're taking three damage to the face thanks to searing on. I will heal that. I'm not worried about that at all. You're gonna heal two health. Guess I'll just do a simple attack in my turn. I have to collect this. And it's my turn. So it looks like I'll be going first in the next round. Perhaps a miscalculation on your part. It was. He's not gonna get the heal. Six damage for Duluc. That's a lot of damage. You're done. You're done. You'll never make it past the dawn. The important question is we spend all that on my weakened character. Yes, I really. Well, I wasn't ready for that. This is a terrible re-roll. Something you don't understand about me is I'm stupid. I am rolling horribly. Keep rolling horribly, keep rolling horribly. Can I get one ice? There's no ice. There's no time for you left. First, I'm gonna eat a lovely rotisserie chicken. You know they cooked this up for us. OK, so I'm just gonna go ahead and say it. You're not making it out of this one alive. Six health was not enough. It's always darkest before the dawn. The goal! The goal! Roll got taken out back. He wasn't ready for the heat. You should have never entered. I bring out the kitchen. A yaka. What is this? It's your doom. I'll activate the inn. Let me keep healing. And now I'll simply just attack you for three. Ouch. My field is ready to be tanky. How will you win? You better switch your character and end your turn. I will, but only because I'm going to activate when the crane returns. This means that after I use my skill, I'll be forcibly swept. So I get to say goodbye in a fun way. Bye-bye. Very powerful. Very good play, actually. And I'm gone. I will heal all of this. Heal. I don't think you quite understood your card. I did not. I did not. It allowed me to clue you in. You're going to heal for two. Ouch! I have to end, so I'll go first in the next round. I'll get you back for that. You will get two health for this, though. I want to do this. Yeah, I'll just end it. Smart, smart. I can't hate you for that. It's something I would have done. You're back for nine health. Ooh. Ooh. Good draw. Excellent draw, actually. However, you get to go first. Bad. Bad RG. Good roll. Beautiful roll. Beautiful. Oh, horrible roll. Horrible rolls. Even better re-roll. My god. Somebody help me with these dice rolls. Look at that. And Pymond's gone. I'm going to activate Wang Shu Yin to heal my most injured character on standby. That means dilute. That. I need to look dead. You could try to run away, yes. I mean, I can't. I literally just can't resist. I got to do five damage, and I got to do it now. Frostknot for five? That's huge. Right. I'll pay Favonius Cathedral. Oh, brother. Not another Favonius Cathedral. He just won't let his characters die. An owl attack. Nice. Ouch. My turn again. I'm going to go ahead and feed him some chicken. This means his normal attack will cost one mana less. Yes. This means it's only going to cost two. So I'll be able to do ceremonial blade work for two. That's fine. It'll also give me my second ultimate. Dotto, where can I find this game and play it myself? You can find this game in Genshin Impact. Wow. And now I get to make my ultimate. Don't do five damage. Don't do five damage. Yes. Four damage. My turn. Oh, you thought I was done. I didn't think you were done. I knew you were done. Ceremonial blade work for another two damage. That's fine. All I need is my last character, anyway. That's probably true. I saw what you did to D on this character's cheap. And my turn. There is a tank. Looks like he'll be going first. Oh. Also, and my third. Two damage. That's not how this works. Good night. Yes, it does. Excellent. I'm going to bring Dalukia. No, he's going to stay on the bench so he can keep getting, too. Smart play. He needs to heal. He needs to heal. Come on, RNG. Hey, goodbye. Excellent. Excellent. I know. This is what good rolling looks like. This is what good rolling construction looks like. OK. I mean, it's decent. It's definitely not the best I could afford my whole world. Nah, this is the best I can get. All right, first, I'll par my character up with a bow. Then, what are you trying to do with that thing? You're scaring me. I will activate best companion. Oh, brother. He's got Paimon cards. And I will hit you with my bow. Icy paws. Is that the shield one? It is understandable. I can relate. I'm going to use. That's going to switch the energy from one to another. Interesting. Yep. Yep. Yep. That is a bold play. It is. I'm basically making the declaration that you're not going to stop me before I get my ultimate. Is that true? Even I don't truly know. Anyway, take some, wait. Anyway, take some claw and thunder damage. I'm not worried. I will heal all of this. You actually spit. And I'll attack you for my paws. Oh, brother. You cannot beat my cat girl, Diana. That's what I can name. No, but I can go first in the next turn. And he left you with no other move. Two more attacks. And FaZe, DeLuke goes up. Six, ouch! Who did that? And I'm back to full health. That is true. If you understand, I have spent the whole 20 minutes learning this game. I can't be beaten, Dotto. And with these dice abilities. Ooh, reroll. Oh! All rainbow and ice. You getting cold, Dotto? No, I'm not. If you're nothing. You sure? Leave it to me. The next time I switch, it'll be a fast action. Impressive. That's a good play. Now he can switch over to DeLuke for no cost at all. Well, for a cost. But, you know, fast. Mmm. I'm about to get my ultimate attack here in a second. I'll also activate Crimson Witch of the Flame. Oh, that sounds pretty scary. It's not that scary, but it will help DeLuke a little bit. And then he'll switch in. Hold on, he's working on it. He's scared, he's nervous. DeLuke, fast action. Now, boom, take four damage. On slide. I will heal all of this. You can probably spin. He did heal all of that. You got sliced in the ear. Heal me! You ain't healing shit. That's bad. The trouble we do is options are getting slim. Getting slim to none here, bro. I just have to try to burst him down another two damage. Heal me! I will get rid of DeLuke! This will give Dotto the advantage, because he'll be able to attack first and next turn if he ends his turn, right? I can live in this turn. He's got two de- Oh, nay. Are you done, Dotto Doya? Is it over? Does he have the two required energy to make this attack? Can he end it right here? Unfortunately, I cannot. He cannot? I will heal. I will heal a lot. The end phase is here. And he's got six health. Unreal. I'm going to hit this card last turn. That could have been huge. Can you win roll phase? Dotto might have every cool he needs. Except for the dice. I have to re-roll my entire hand. I need to re-roll my entire hand. No, I have to re-roll my hand again! Same! Help! Help! Help me, man! Help! Please! Come on! Please give me that dice, please! I need one dice, too! Dang, that is pretty wild. There's no way. Well, I can do one damage. No, no, no, no, no. That's not worth it. Dotto, fortunately, the only deal you win today is against Dion. Oh my gosh, I had no dice! The power of cats! Meow, meow! I watched that about to do nothing. No dice, I rolled it. I want you to understand, I rolled three times and rolled nothing, except for one rainbow. That's all I needed. Well, it was a good day at the Cat's Tavern.
