 Yu-Gi-Oh! MasterDuel, a game home to many top-tier meta decks, and it's also home to the Neo-Spatians. Look at these little guys. That's right, today on the channel we are taking my brand new Nios deck into online rank, trying to make it out of Plat-4 and into Plat-3, and we're gonna need four straight wins to make it happen. The overall strategy of the deck is just to play around our big boss monsters, try to stay alive as long as possible, with cards like Dark Ruler No More and Super Poly to make it so that no board is really too much to overcome. Now, hopefully it goes without saying that that's the best case scenario. In reality, we're gonna have to try to play around a lot of things today. So with that said, let's jump into the first duel and see what I get. A coin toss? Let's see, can it go my way? I don't know why, but every time I see the Dragon Maid Maid, I just prepare myself for the worst duel of my life. Ooh, a little underwater playfield, double Super Poly, and a Stratos. All right, well actually we're going second, so we might not have a chance. It might be a Super Poly start. All right, so they've got some punks going out here, bro, just your standard punk player, bro, just doing the average loops. Parentheses, I don't know what he's doing. Triple Tactics thrust hits the graveyard? Okay, I'm not playing on your turn, bro. Go ahead, it's your turn, man. I respect that, I respect that. And I hope that you respect that for me as well. Bro, so much is happening so fast. I can't even keep up, bro. I can't even keep up. Oh my goodness, bro, the field is being built. This is truly a board. No, I need my Super Poly targets. Wait a second. Oh, we've still got Super Poly targets like nobody's business, baby. We're going to Super Poly our way to victory. New animation and everything, believe it. As long as they don't play a face down, anti-spell fragrance, we win this duel, I believe. Okay, got a lot of back row there and I drew into a little Maxi. That's never what you want to see. But again, we are just going to Super Poly right off the get go here. Just going to Super Poly, probably going to ditch. Oh, this is a tough one. We want to ditch the other Maxi. I'm just going to ditch Maxi. You know, if we don't win this turn, I'm already feeling pretty bad. There we go. Just give me that. Give me that. Give me that. Just give me that. All right. And Garura hits the field. Now I've got a lot to think about. All right, let's try it. We're going to go crosskeeper effect. That's going to allow us to special summon Stratos from our hand. If this gets negated, it's really not too big of a deal. In fact, I'm fine with that. It's like bait. Throw crosskeeper out there. He still gets to the graveyard anyway, which is where we really find the strength of his effect. But right now our opponent's just going, OK, so we get called by. So he's not going to be in the graveyard, but that's fine. Now I'm regretting the Maxi drop right now a lot. But we should still be fine. So we won't get to special summon Stratos, but we still get to surprise, surprise, play him with a normal summon. That's going to give us his effect. Add a hero from our deck to our hand. Oh, no. He's killing me with this one. He's killing me with this. All right, fine. All right, fine. You want to take my monster, bro? How about we just make one happy family, bro? We're just going to be one happy mud dragon family. How does that sound, bro? How does that really sound, though? Yeah, mud dragon, bro. Come over here. Yeah, let's be mud dragon friends together, bro. You want him to get my effect? Fine, you can, but we ain't going to play that way. We ain't going to play that way. Boom, mud dragon hits the field. No effects happening anywhere. And we do get to add. So I'm just going to go ahead and take. Do I take the spirit of Nios or just shadows here? Really, I don't think it matters. I think we go with Nios just to be safe. Now, this could be a mistake and it very well could be. But I'm going to go ahead and just take it. All right, we will activate Mud Dragon's effect just to be safe here. I'm just going to go dark. Just going to go dark and we will go into battle phase. Yeah, we're going to go to battle phase. There's really no risk here. We're just going to do double 3000 damage 1900. Not going to get the big kill, but that's fine. I'm going into Preda plant, bro. I need some more. I need some more cards in my hand. So Preda plant is the move and you know what? We do get a draw off guard. That's beautiful. Beautiful. We're going plus out the wazoo here. Oh, and it just drew into Nios fusion. Wow, that changes a lot or does it? Actually, I don't think it matters. All right, I'm going to do something stupid, bro. I'm going to do something stupid. I'm going to pay the 2K. I'm not going to Nios fusion. I'm going to go instead into miracle fusion. Miracle fusion sounds good. Oh, let's go home. That's a huge bait. That's a huge bait. We actually do not care about that because we've got the Nios fusion in hand. But we do have to go for rainbow dragon. I feel like do we have to? Oh, wait, oh, no. This was just no. This was just the normal one, man. Here's what we have to do, though. We do have to go rainbow Nios and flushes graveyard, though. So rainbow Nios is going to hit the field. We're going to use the... Oh, my God. Does he have more effects? Oh, Nibiru. Oh, my gosh. That graveyard was looking awfully tasty, too, man. That graveyard was looking oh, so tasty, man. All right, well, now we just end and hope that we can draw sparks. I always run one copy of sparks in this deck. All right, his whole turn was set pass. So, oh, but my turn is not looking very good either. My turn is not looking very good. Is he baiting me to play into Magic Cylinder? Because I'll play into Magic Cylinder. All right, we're just going to battle and pass, I guess. Oh, my God. Bro, please, bro. OK, Rygeki, I don't mind losing my token. In fact, I want you to attack me. I just don't want you to do any combo plays. Oh, brother, this guy's playing around the spirit of Nios. I have to draw Dolphin. Give me Dolphin. Imperm, damn. I mean, I guess I just set Imperm. I'm just going to set Imperm in the Spell and Trap column and then you just, oh, you fucking asshole. Dude, I should have kept it in my head. I didn't know you'd do me like this, though. I didn't know you were going to do me like this. Please do a meaningless battle phase. This guy is actually so genius for not even risking the battle phase. Surely I can draw into, like, a grand mole or something, bro, surely. Instant contact. It doesn't really do anything for me, though. It doesn't do anything for me, though, because it won't get its effect. It won't get its effect. There's nothing I can do with this card. We're in a true stalemate, bro. Somebody needs to do something. Oh, brother bear, dude. He's got answers for everything. Polarization. OK, I'm going to go crazy. Instant contact. Now, I don't recommend doing this play pretty much ever, but we're just going to go out into Wingman in Hope and pray that he doesn't pop it immediately. Flame Wingman. Going good so far, boys. Going good so far. Into the poly. He never saw it coming. Polarization. And now our boss monster, because we have a Nios in hand. We get to go out into Elemental Hero. Shining Nios Wingman. Boom, baby. 6,400. Now, I'm just going to pop the monster so we can win. Wait. All right, I'm actually going to pop the background. Just in case. Good, he didn't get any activation. And because of Shining Nios Wingman's effect, we're going to kill this card, inflict the battle damage, and that should be the game. Oh my god, that was a brick fest towards the end, but we got a W. And a W is really all that matters, especially with the way we were playing, which was pretty bad. Let's get into the next tool. All right, we won the coin toss. We're going to go ahead and go first. I'll show you what a going first turn usually looks like for me, which, depending on what we draw, changes dramatically. Also, I just decided to turn off Capture Cursor on the video. So do you like the videos with Cursor better or no Cursor? I'm going to say no Cursor. It looks a little more sleek, a little more professional. Anyway, we've got a few different options here, one of which would be a crazy turn. And the other one would be, I don't know what I want to do with this, honestly. This is a, I don't know if I want to Hero Lives here, because we can Hero Lives into Stratos and then Normal Summon Stratos for huge, huge advantage, right? But obviously, that would leave us with like 2,000 life points max. It would not be good. So I think what we should do instead is, I'm just going to play Hero Lives anyway. 4,000 life points down the drain, no Ash Blossom. And we didn't get Ash Blossom. Oh my God, he's got nothing. Stratos hits the field. Add one Hero Monster from deck to hand. We're going to go with Liquid Soldier. Not that it really matters, because we're going to come back for both anyway. And then, oh my gosh, what's this? Another Elemental Hero Stratos hits the field? What? What's he doing over there? Oh, he's getting me an Elemental Hero Spirit of Nios to my hand. All righty, gang. Now it's time to go ahead and leave us with 2,000 life points, like I said. All right, Verdi Anaconda hits the field. We're going to use his effect to get 2,000 more life points down the drain. And again, this is why I'm not. I kind of just want to poly, though. I'm just going to poly here, because I think we go crazy. So we're going to do this Shadow Mist and Liquid Soldier. And Absolute Zero is a great defensive card. It just only matters if they can blow us up before that even happens, because Shadow Mist is going to pop in the graveyard, going to get some advantage. Liquid Soldier is going to give us a draw to here. So we could get some good stuff off this. That's why I'm OK risking it. I feel like you've got to play risky. Oh, no. Hey, man, you're taking my draw. Does that actually take my? Hey, that better not stop the effect, bro. That doesn't say negate. That does not say negate. Also, we instantly lose, by the way. We instantly lose, because we're just going to get blown out. We just get blown out here for 2,000 damage. I'm going to allow that, because I don't really know what else I could do. And unfortunately, we probably just lose here off Verdi Anaconda being wide open to get punched in the face. Bro sends his Lubellion to the graveyard to get his effect. I'm still not popping Ash Blossom, bro. I'm still not doing it. I won't do it. I won't ever live that lie. I've only got one Ash Blossom to my name, and it literally doesn't matter, because Verdi Anaconda is about to, yes, yes. Let's do it. No, no, no, no, bro. Bro can just attack for game. Why is he tipped there? It's around this. I'm hoping that he just accidentally outplays himself and destroys it or something. Gives me a chance. I honestly don't want to Ash Blossom, because I want to give him his time to make a mistake. Please don't beat me over the head, bro. I knew the risk I was taking, but I thought I would go crazy. I don't know why I did it every time I play like this. I lose, man. I don't know why I did it. I could have played a little slower all the minute. I could have played slower. Do I have regrets? Absolutely. All right, we're just going to negate that one and probably lose now. All right, now, why don't you go ahead and do, like, a Kaiju Han Anaconda, dude? That would be so funny, dude. Come on, man. Bro! Bro! Wait, do you want to take control of my Anaconda? Dude, you don't have to, but, like, if you want to, that would... I understand. I'll show myself out. All right, now that I've shown you guys what not to do when you go first, let me go ahead and win the coin toss and show you what you actually do going first. Sorry, guys. I like to show you a bad example before I show you a real example. So here we are, turn one. Obviously, that was what a bad player would do. Let me show you guys what a good player would do. So, obviously, right away, we're going to go into standby phase and we're not going to be allowed to activate an... Oh, yes we are, thank you. So we automatically activate Engage Neospaced. This card is a brick sometimes. As long as you don't have Poly in your hand, you're good. I always throw away Dark Panther because I think he's the least usable. We're always going to special summon Spirit of Neos here because his effect, after we add our Poly to hand thanks to Engage Neospaced, allows us to search out another Fusion card. And that Fusion card that we're going to choose is always nine times out of 10 going to be Neos Fusion. We're going to pop Neos Fusion. This, again, is just another quick way to get a little cheeky plus two here. If we go with Cross Keeper, which is my usual target for this, just so that we can get that instant draw to put one back. The one we're going to put back, surprise, surprise. Activate Cross Keeper and Graveyard. Don't get hit by anything. Thank you. Well, usually I'd put back the Polyronization. Oh, damn. Why Rainbow Dragon, bro? All right, we still will put back Poly just in case. And then we're just going to set to and pass. So right now, what do we have? We've got Infinite, we've got a Imperm. We've got Super Poly and we've got Ash. That's about it. This can't be destroyed by battle so they have to get a different way, which usually they do. That's not really a big thing. And this, we have Neo's Fusion to negate one destruction. So again, it's not a meta board by any means. In fact, we could go into a rank seven. I guess if you want to throw a rank seven in here, not sure which one you do, maybe you could splash in a little cash to your engine. Ooh, I'm going to say no to that one. I'm going to say no to your one of a reinforcement of the army, bro. No. Now you could say no to, oh man. Damn, man. All right, well, go ahead and play then. Let's see what he's playing. Let's see what he's working with. Call by the Grades going to snipe my poor little Ash Blossom out of this universe. You know, the hype part about Rainbow Dragon being here is we can use him as a discard target for superpoly. Hit that Miracle Fusion into Rainbow Neo's. You pick it up, what am I putting down? Goki Suprex, what is this? When this card is normal summon, special summon, one Goki monster from your hand. Damn, that seems like he kind of needed that. Oh, especially if he's going to go ahead and do that. All right, we're going to go, oh, wait a minute. I could just imperman. Oh, I'm definitely going to do that. Let's see if he could play through this. Let's see if he could play through this. Bro, I forgot I had that. Let's see if he could play. We've still got superpoly. I know we're activating stuff super quick, but hey, if you got any spells, use them right here, buddy. Use them right here in this beautiful blue row. Ooh, see, this is what I was worried about. All right, now these are, I don't think that's a Mud Dragon target. That's not, all right, we'll go ahead then. That's just summon one level four or lower warrior target. Who's he going for here? Fire Flint lady, I've never seen this. Ah, warrior on earth, warrior on earth. Well, let me go ahead and just stop you right there, buddy. We're putting the play on hold. We're putting the play on hold because you're going to make a delicious, beautiful, fusion monster for me. God, wings of the resident life. Oh, I think he kind of wanted that. Oh no, oh, my stupid, am I stupid, bro? I never played against these guys. Did I pop off a little too early? I'm feeling like I might have popped off a little too early, bro. These guys got a lot of graveyard effects. Yeah, why these cards kind of look sick though? Wait, hold on, do I need to play this deck? Oh, wow, this was a waste. Holy hell, bro, oh, no way. They're literally on the picture of the goddamn card. Oh, damn, you know you messed up if they play a card with the picture of the monsters on the card. Oh my God. Hey man, how about you in your turn? I could accept when I was stupid. I really can, bro, I understand. Alrighty, Soul Day hits the field. I understand that I've made many a mistake myself. Damn, bro, they just go to the graveyard and then plus out like crazy. I wasted way too many negates early against this deck. I really thought I was gonna stun him. Nice, bright and early, bro, 8 a.m. stun. What was that? Super quantum, super quantums. Hey, bro, how about you stop your turn? How about we just become friends again, bro, like truthfully. I think there's a future for us where we don't do this to each other. But that's just me and he's linking. Okay, okay, Nightmare Unicorn never hurt nobody. Oh my God, he's gonna go into what's his face. Don't shuffle in Brave Neos. Or, okay, I mean, I guess he's stopping me from drawing. He's stopping me from drawing, but to be fair, that was the only one that didn't have some protection with it. So I'm actually not, I'm not terrified of that. Now, will I miss him? Absolutely. Yeah, I sure do, I sure do miss when I had a chance to, you know, do my thing with Super Poly and Imperm and Ash Blossom. I sure do miss when I had that. Damn, 5K immediately. How many Link monsters he's got? Two? How many times can this guy attack? All right, we're gonna pop Neo's fusion. So we get another little chance. So he wasted one of his two banishes. That's pretty sick. All right, he went back for it. Did he read that Spirit of Neos can't be destroyed by battle? Oh, I guess he did, yes. Damn, man, hater. All right, so his board is Access Code Talker. Now, draw. Now, I'm stupid, but does Imperm making Access Code Talker take away his attack? I kind of wanna try it, honestly. I wanna try it, let's see. Let me just, let me activate Imperm, let me see if it works, I need to see. Oh, yes. Okay, good, then that changes what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna miracle fusion. Oh wait, oh my God, thank God I had Imperm because I couldn't even summon Rainbow Dragon. Well, that could have been really bad. Brave Neo's. This is actually a little bit better now because now we get the battle phase attack and then after we pop him, which please God, let me pop him. Oh my God, what do you have? Oh, Bro scared me half to death. Brave Neo's will get his effect, allowing us to search out anything we want and honestly, we get Neo's fusion. Oh God, wait. Well, we wouldn't even be able to do that with Neo's fusion. So I think we're just gonna go with favorite contact, honestly. Favorite contact, main phase two, favorite contact just allows us to fusion summon anything with banished monsters, graveyard, et cetera, et cetera, but we couldn't get to, because Neo's isn't in my grave. He's, no, no, no, I banished him just now. Wait, what? All right, we immediately get Kaijude. Hello, come, hey, don't put him in this column. Okay, Goki Suprex, here we go. We're back on the Goki train. Later. Well, that fucking sucks. I didn't activate it. Win and you'll gain a rank. Nah, we got, bro, we have to stop that. Please let Neo's clutch up. Let me draw real quick. Ooh, okay, a little something interesting here. Not a bad hand at all. Now going second, surprisingly, actually, yes, this is a little bit of a bad hand. You would have wanted like maybe a Maxi in here, something. Yeah, definitely would have wanted a Maxi in here, something like that, you know, just something to keep him from just absolutely killing us, but we'll see if we can still play after this. Stella hits the field, Stella. All right, and Sophia lets him draw a card too. Great, great. Well, I am having a rough go of it right now. Hopefully we're able to get engaged Neo's face off. That would affect a lot. All right, cast Patel. All right, well, I wasn't gonna be doing much special something from the graveyard. Nah, Martha, they let Martha hit the field. All right, go off, Martha. Do your thing, Martha. And Ellis, what are you doing here? All right, is this the board? Two face downs, that's gonna get a little tricky. All right, well, we got our board, we got what we're up against. I'm just gonna draw two crosskeepers, huh? Very, very interesting. All right, we're gonna start with reinforcement of the army just to see if we can't try to bait something out here. Just to see if we can't bait a little something out here. All right, so they're not gonna go for it. So we're gonna go with Stratos then. I'm still gonna try to bait something out, honestly, because I really don't want to pay the price for this. So Stratos, attic hero monster from deck to hand. See if we can't bait anything out here. Come on, take the bait. If you got something, use it. If you got something, feel free to use it. All right, what do we got here? All right, so Stratos is gonna be banished. Now, did that stop his effect though? All right, they're going into the duo. All right, so now they get to banish a card we have. Let's see if Engage NeoSpace can go off. We are gonna target Aqua Dolphin, because when we throw in NeoSpace, we can ditch Shadow Mist. The Shadow Mist is just gonna help us get a little more applause, please, please. Yes! All right, so now we just get to immediately Spirit of Neo. Boom, right on the board there, give me the Polly. Polly's gonna come to the board. Give me the Spirit of Nios. Give me the Shadow Mist in the graveyard. Now he's thinking, he's thinking something. What's that face down? What's that face down? And we do have to play through one banish on the board. Okay, so they were just getting some stuff there. That's fine. I'm gonna get Liquid Soldier, just in case I can go crazy. All right, Nios Fusion comes out. All right, now let me see if I can go a bit crazier. Let me see if I can Polly. Am I gonna get the Polly? I think I'm gonna go into, I can go into Sunrise. And then that would give me Miracle Fusion. But yeah, why not? All right, we go out into Elemental Hero Sunrise. This is gonna pop its effect, allowing us to get Miracle Fusion. Also has another good effect in case it actually works. Liquid Soldier being sent to the graveyard gives us our plus two. I probably should have Cross-Keepered first, honestly. I thought I was gonna Nios Fusion into something using that, but I really should have just ditched it first. That was pretty stupid of me, won't lie. All right, here's the once per turn banished. That is absolutely fine. Totally okay with that. You will not hear me complain about it. Only thing is who do you wanna banish? Sunrise gets banished. Okay, draw two. Hmm, let me go ahead and discard. Let me discard a Cross-Keeper, honestly. Get a Cross-Keeper in the graveyard. Into the Miracle Fusion. And we're just gonna pop Miracle Fusion. Now that we have it, using something a little something, absolute zero. Absolute zero's gonna hit the board. Now we could probably just clear out the board right away like that. But Cross-Keeper's gonna go off, giving us another draw two, return one. Okay, so they're getting effects based off me special summoning from the graveyard. So I probably should have just played this differently. I should have, I had the cards on board to just play from hand. So, whoops, that's, you know. Okay, so he's got a monster effect negate, which I have to play around now. Draw two, we're just gonna go ahead and get rid of a hero lives, probably. This still doesn't bother me, honestly. He's got an effect in the gate. I'm gonna ditch Cross-Keeper in the graveyard, just to bring out Nios, by the way. I'm literally just gonna normal special summon Nios. Literally just gonna play elemental hero Nios here. Then we can instant contact and still keep the effect. I guess we should be good with Brave Nios. We should be fine with Brave Nios. My thinking here is he's going to have to negate Rainbow Dragon. Let me just make sure my Nios is still in the, in the deck. Yeah, we're good. All right, so what does he have here? Okay, so he has one send back. He's got one negate. So we should be good. We should still be fine. I think he might have enough to play through it. I'm not sure. All right, now he's gotta start activating effects here. Now he's gotta start playing the game. So let's see what he chooses to do, okay? I mean, now, now you've got me wondering. Oh, wait, what if I do this? Ha-ha! Bye-bye! Oh, he can't target me now, Kenny! You can't target me now! Oh, uh-oh, uh-oh! Bro, you should've stopped me when you had the chance. Now you can't negate it, huh? Now you can't negate it. I don't know if this stops it, honestly. I'm very scared still. Bye-bye! Oh, darn, bro, you should've, you should've stopped me when you could still target me. Anyway, let me just go ahead and smack him down a little bit. Brave Nios gonna take the win. I'm making up for me not using my trap card into the earlier duel, but I'm still pretty sad about that. Still pretty sad about that, but what is it, 2-2 now? Are we 2-2 on the day? Let's go into the fifth and final duel and hopefully get another win. Wait, rescue rabbit? Blank account? Could this be a bot? Could this be a free win? I hope so. I could really use that. I'm not gonna lie. I could really use a free win right now. Ooh! It's so free, dude. It's so free. Do I just, do I just, a hero lives just to bait it out? Let me use a hero lives just to bait out. This is looking like a bot. Let me use a hero lives for the price of a measly price of 4,000 life points. One hero monster from deck to hand. Always gonna pick up Stratos. Always gonna be my goat. It doesn't look like he has anything. In fact, this looks like it's a bot, so I'm just gonna start playing the goddamn game. Get Grand Bowl out of here so that we can ditch Shadow Mist. Shadow Mist hits the graveyard, allowing us to search another thing. We can special summon one. Obviously we're gonna special summon the one. That's gonna get Polly to our hand. Yup, yup. Spirit of Nios gonna go a little crazy. Shadow Mist gonna go a little crazy. Shadow Mist is gonna let us get Liquid Soldier to the hand, which is good because now we're gonna make Absolute Zero with the Stratos on board. And then for this, honestly, I'm gonna go Favorite Contact here. Favorite Contact just to stay a little safe. So I'm immediately, this is a little crazy. I will use the Polly here. Again, cause I wanna make Absolute Zero. Oh, or do I make, I guess this allows us to draw more. All right, we're gonna make Sunrise. I was gonna go crazy, but let me not go crazy. All right, Sunrise hits the board in defense. That's gonna let us get Miracle Fusion to our hand. And then because Liquid Soldier hit the graveyard, we're also gonna get a plus two here. I have to send one back to the deck. Hopefully we hit something good. Ooh, we could just discard, honestly, Niospace connector's kinda out of this one. Niospace connector kinda fell off a little bit, not gonna lie. All right, then we hit Favorite Contact. And you know what, just to make the board a little boardier, I will Miracle Fusion into Absolute Zero. Just to make the board a little boardier, Absolute Zero's gonna keep things a little safer, a little safer. And then, you know what? Yeah, I mean, I can't not get another draw too. I gotta get some more hand traps in here, bro. So then we're just gonna go Brave Nios. We're gonna send Crosskeeper, and we're gonna send one Nios. Again, Nios Fusion is okay. It's a very, oh wait, can I get into Beard? This is a bot, bro, why? I just realized, why am I doing this on a bot, bro? Why am I doing this? All right, so select the card we wanna return. I'm just gonna go ahead and return. Honestly, I can get Stratos back with Reinforcement of the Army. I'm just gonna get Reinforcement of the Army out of here. Probably the wrong decision, but just, and pretend that this wasn't a bot, guys. Pretend that this wasn't a bot. So on board now we would have absolute zero just to take care of anything. Some monsters for defense and favorite contact just to get things in case things got a little wacky. Obviously, we would have hoped to draw more hand traps. We've got Maxi, which is good. Like an Ash Blossom would have been crazy. I usually just shock at Maxi nowadays. What with Cash Tiro running around? Can never be too safe. Unfortunately, this is a bot. But imagine if it wasn't. So you can see the deck is capable of playing Modern Yuya. You can play a lot of cards, do a lot of things. You don't necessarily need to go this crazy. Honestly, it's a little risky even. But, oh, wait a minute. Hold up. This is a bot, right? Draw one. Ash Blossom, let's go. Huge pick up. Oh, I don't, I think I got tricked. No, I didn't mean to actually activate it, man. Damn, I hope that's right, bro. I didn't mean to do that. Bro, I just accidentally double click like crazy. Please don't be able to just activate it again. I'll take a Neo's Fusion, I guess. All right, bro. I really thought this was a whole bot. Oh, dark ruler no more, genius, genius card. Bro, this guy actually set me up, man. I really thought this was a whole bot. I have no idea what I'm playing against. Damn. Oh, we both get to draw and then discard one, cool. I guess I discard Crosskeeper. Now I'm gonna discard Maxi, because I don't think I'm gonna, I don't think I'll be playing two turns for Maxi to even be worth it. I think we either win next turn or lose this turn. So I'm not playing Maxi. Okay, we've got some tier limits cards on the board here, Engage Neo Space, that's huge. Aqua Dolphin comes to the hand. Appreciate you, Aqua Dolphin. Damn. Damn. Bro is discarding. Didn't bro start with 60 cards? Bro has got a lot in the trash right now. I'm not, I'm not familiar with bro's strategy, by the way. I wanna make that infinitely co- Oh, yo, why is that kinda sick? Hold up. Who is this? Puzzle Mino, the drop and the leader? Yo, this guy looks crazy. I like this guy's design. I wanna play a deck with guys that look like this. I feel very confident. If we can Maxi draw into Super Polly, I'd be feeling very, very good about our chances, but, you know, it would be, damn. But I don't really know, to be honest. I know we've got Dark Ruler no more, so I'm not really worried about monster effects. Imperm would have been sick. Ace down defense. Okay, that doesn't really, oh, wait a minute. Level eight, does he wanna drop absolute zero? Okay, so he made him level eight, but for what? Damn. Respell counters down. The special summoning gonna go crazy here. I've got my entire deck in my hand. Was this the Maxi challenge? Is that what happening to me? Are you just trying to kill me off raw special summoning? I have a feeling that that's what's happening to me. Is that gonna work how you think it's gonna work? Oh, it did. I do have favor contact, which will unironically put some cards back in my deck if that's what it takes to keep me alive. So hopefully they combo themselves into a corner. If that's what they're doing, I honestly can't tell. I think it's just special summoning. Oh, playing five, huh? Okay, gonna negate the effects of all the monsters I control. I don't disagree with that. I would do that too if I were you. Hold on, let me look through my hand real quick. Okay, very cool, very cool. Battle phase, wait, this wasn't the Maxi challenge. Favorite contact. I'm gonna shuffle Aqua Dolphin and Nios back into my deck. Yeah, Aqua Nios, baby. You don't see Aqua Nios hit the field a lot, but I figure I might as well pop off since I have a, you know, nope, I can't be shuffled back into the deck thanks to the effect of favorite contact that is. I draw now. How am I gonna cook you? First of all, I just wanna discard a card because I think it's fun. I'm gonna discard, let's see. I'll discard Maxi because I really don't, I can't afford another one. Let's see, random card in your hand, bodied. See ya. I could also just fusion kill you, so let's do that. Let's use a little bit of a super poly. Let's ditch a hero lives. We're not gonna be using that card. One dark monster and one fusion monster gives me a nice little in the gate on board. That's true. That's beautiful Predoplan Drago staplia. Love that for me. I'll go ahead and use Engage Nios. Space, why not? That'll get a polarization in my hand. Go ahead and send a Nios to the graveyard. Go ahead and send a, we'll do that I guess. Oh, I could also go crazy though. I guess I really can't go, actually, yes I can. No, no, but I can, I can't though. All right, so I couldn't go as crazy as I wanted, but let's go ahead and special summon Spirit of Nios. Polly will come back from the graveyard to the hand, then we'll also get to use Spirit of Nios to get a fusion card. Oh, miracle contact, this is gonna go so nuts. I'll set infinite in perm just because. Stratos, add one hero monster from deck to hand just because I can. Just because I can, by the way, we're gonna get Nios back. Then we're gonna cross keeper effect, ditch him to the graveyard, that's your thing. No, I'm not gonna let you do that, bro. I'm not gonna let you do that. Now, maybe if I was feeling more generous, I would've allowed you to do that, but I wanna absolutely style on you right now. Go ahead and let Aqua Dolphin do the talking. Why not discard another card? Hold on, his effects are negated because I'm not on board yet. Instant contact, you already know who we're summoning into Flamewing Man, you already know who it is. Can I, can somebody see boss monster? Let me go ahead and get my draw two out here. Let me go ahead and get my draw two out here just to see if I can. Oh, and there it is! Rainbow Dragon, get back to the deck, bro. Rainbow Dragon, get back to the deck. Anyway, here's what we're gonna do. Here's what we're gonna do. I'm going to show you the ultimate, this is literally the ultimate Nios board. You never get to play with all the cards in your hand. So we are gonna make Flare Shining Wingman Nios. That's gonna be a double pop extravaganza. Nios Wingman hit the board. Talk to him, 7,600. I'm gonna pop you like crazy. Get out of my, get out of my, get out of my duel. Get out of my duel. And then I'm gonna miracle contact and form the ultimate beast, the ultimate beast. I don't care who he is. Go ahead, special summon. Go ahead, go ahead, I do not care. Take it forever in a day to get this fairy guy out here. Miracle contact into the ultimate Cosmo Nios. If this card is special summon, you can activate this effect. For the rest of your turn, the opponent cannot activate cards. So GG, by the way, just in case you had a little something, just in case you had a little trick up your sleeve, you actually never really did. You never really did. And my deck is getting thicker and thicker with the cards in there. So by the way, I hope you enjoyed effects because they're done. You don't get to play the effects no more. Bye-bye, bye-bye to effects. And then just because I'm summoning the ultimate board, I'm really summoning the ultimate board out here, I will go ahead Nios Fusion into Rainbow Dragon into Rainbow Nios that is. Because why not? Why not make the ultimate board, bro? This is the ultimate board. You don't get better boards than this. 3000, ugh, wait, hey, don't forget the 3000 on top. Hey, I didn't even need to do them like that. But I had to do them like that. The max seed challenge goes in my favor. I'll take the win. Victory is mine. Do I do another one just cause I'm feeling myself? Just cause that was long. Why not? Why not? Why not go again? This Nios video is truly a treat, bro. We just keep doing it. Win and you'll gain a rank. This is why I was put on this earth. To stop this guy from ranking up. If I can't be Plat 3, he's not allowed to be Plat 3 either. All right, well, this hand's actually ass. I'm just gonna Nios Fusion. And if this gets stopped, I mean GGs. It pretty much still is GGs, honestly. We're just gonna crosskeeper Nios in the deck to the graveyard. I don't wanna take the max seed challenge. If I'm speaking truthfully, crosskeeper just gonna get us two into absolutely nothing. That's not very good. All right, well we can't special summon anymore thanks to Nios Fusion. Our hand is pretty ass. This guy's playing on a rank up. You know he wants to win. This is a bad case scenario. This is a horrible case scenario. You do not wanna see this one happening. Okay, okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We might not be dead. We do have Spirit of Nios in the hand, which will allow us to play something during the battle phase. All right, he's got a rank eight available on the board. Could also just link into anything. Okay, danger Thunderbird goes away. All right, all right, Gizmek. Gizmek, he's got a little rank eight deck here. He's got a little rank eight, something, something. Now, is he going to do anything with these rank eights? One, two, three, three, level eights. Oh, he's gonna use two of them. Could we be seeing a, okay, or cuss. Then one card you control the graveyard. Wow, it just sends me, bro. I didn't even get the Nios Fusion. Now, oh gosh. Pain Gainer, what's this? Okay, the seven sins, all seven of them? Battle phase, now I will go ahead and play Spirit of Nios in defense mode and activate his effect. Sorry, I'm sorry. I know, I know, I'm a little crazy. Let me get this Engage Nios base real quick. Hopefully I don't drop Polly. Can this card destroy me? Hey, you got walled by the Spirit of Nios. You should have never got walled by the Spirit of Nios, kid. Oh, what's this? Zeus, huh? All right, well, hopefully I can just, okay, this is a big Zeus. Okay, Spirit of Nios goes back. I don't mind that, technically. Okay, the Zeus has a lot. This Zeus is quite a conundrum for me. Let's see if I can play around it. Let's Engage Nios base. This won't necessarily do anything to him. I guess we'll go with Elemental Hero Nios and then we'll go with Dark Panther. Engage Nios base, gonna go off like a charm. We're gonna special summon Spirit of Nios again. Boom! Polly goes to the hand. Love that. We also get to activate Spirit of Nios' effect. I'm kind of thinking, do I wanna try to instant contact or do I think he'll just blow me up for that? Let's just, let's try it. You know, let's actually just try it. Let's try it. What's the worst he can do? We're gonna instant contact here. Instant contact into, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. Flame Wingman. And then I guess we, do we Polly first? All right, let's Polly first. Oh, I messed up. Boys, I do regret to inform you that I did in fact mess it up. Now Sunrise is technically fine. Let's go ahead and Miracle Fusion it out here. All right, come on. Just don't pop me. Shining Nios Wingman. Hopefully we just get the pop and win. Just get the pop and win, buddy. Now is being destroyed the same as going to the graveyard? Yes, no? Ah. Oh, we're still gonna go ahead and pop that out. Then we can Miracle Contact. Hold up, hold up. Check my notes, check my notes, check my, watch my paper, watch my paper. We're gonna send these two back to the deck, the ones that we brought all those years ago. Then we're gonna Nios Fusion. We've got a Nios Fusion into this. Rainbow Nios. Now right now it does look, oh, this is perfect. Hopefully we do hit something here that will affect something. Send one card from it. All right, we're gonna send a card top of the deck to the graveyard. Super Polly, not a great target, honestly that kind of sucks. This is gonna shuffle his graveyard back into his deck. Have I normal summoned this turn? Ah, I don't know if I've normal summoned this turn. I'll keep it, I'll keep it. Let's not play absolutely crazy. Let's assume that this duel will in fact go to the next one. All right, restack his deck there a little bit. The reason I don't mind this is this will give Brave Nios his effect. So Brave Nios will get an effect to add a Fusion card to our hand. And I think we have to go favorite contact here. Rainbow Nios just gonna pop him one in the mouth. 4,500. It's getting a little crazy. He will get Gizmek back for sure. We can special summon Spirit of Nios again. I don't know, this is gonna be a little dicey, a little dicey for sure. Now imagine if I max seed into Super Polly. Wow, that would have been crazy. Living at that time would have went nuts. Okay, we've just get instantly Lava Golem. Ha ha ha ha, damn! All right, but if the Lava Golem came out, I'm not too worried about it. Let's just go ahead and max seed out. This is what we were saving for right here, baby. This is it. His deck's getting a little thin and I wanna keep drawing. Hopefully we get like two draws off this. Or hopefully, oh, Ash Blossom, thank you. Two cards, awkward dolphin. Now he can make another rank eight. Surprise, surprise. He might be doing the same strategy. We literally saw this strap before. We just sent it all back to his deck. Okay, rank eight coming out here. Yep, seen this one before. Then one card to your opponent controls to the graveyard. Will I be able to activate this? Will I be able to activate this? Ah, damn. I'm just gonna activate it, man, he scared me. I don't know if it would have targeted it. I didn't wanna make the same mistake I did before I got scared. Just put a bolt back in the deck, man. I got scared. Now, do you wanna destroy Absolute Zero? Now that, you know, I won't be sad about that. If you wanna take Absolute Zero away from me, you can. Like, totally, I think that's fair of you. I think that's really fair of you to say, hey, well, I mean, do you wanna destroy Absolute Zero in the battle phase? I mean, like, that would be pretty crazy. Okay, dude. Okay, dude. Ooh, another Maxi, crazy. Oh my God, brother is just letting me draw my whole deck. The seven sins, eh? You know what? I will go ahead and take this. I will go ahead and special summon again. Spirit of Neos. Honestly, we, I've got a lot of engaged Neospaces. I don't even know if I have any more cards to hit. I've really carded out here. Okay, Absolute Zero, go ahead, pop him. Oh, he's going back into Zeus. The same play we saw all those moons ago. Now, how do I wanna do this? I have Dark Ruler no more, so we definitely can just body him. But as for right now, I mean, let's just, let's just call it what it is. Let's just, no! I didn't mean to activate Dark Ruler no more! Oh! No! I'm about to activate Engaged Neospaces. Dear God! Okay, we can't win this turn because Dark Ruler no more makes it so they don't take any more battle damage for the rest of the turn, which is so awesome, man. You know what I could do is I could just grand mold this kid. I could just grand mold this guy. You know what? Why not? I could just get a grand mold, kid. Shadow Mist in the graveyard gonna let us get any hero from our deck to our hand. We already know we're going with Stratos, baby, all day, every day. And then we are gonna reinforce him. Oh, get him out of here! He knew, he knew that he, I think he forgot Dark Ruler no more would have given him one more turn. But we'll take it! Not my finest duel. But you know what? I mean, hold on. I mean, we gotta go one more to see if we can get Plat three, bro. With Nios? With the Neospations? Let's see. Perhaps it could be a bot? Perhaps it could? We have to go first? But this could be a bot setup. Or this is the longest video of my life. I don't know how long the actual video is because you know, there's probably a lot of cuts when nothing's happening, but damn, bro. As for me, I've been here an hour, 20 minutes. Ooh. You never wanna see two Niospaces. Yikes, indeed, dude. Yikes, indeed. Wow, this is bad. This is bad. We literally just have to Neofusion. We just have to Neofusion and hope it's a bot, but it's probably not. So we do go into Brave Nios. We do get to ditch Crosskeeper and Elemental Hero Nios. Brave Nios hits the board in defense mode. Crosskeeper for the plus two. See if we can get a max C here. Wanna try to get a max C here for sure? Ooh. Don't get it. We're gonna return, engage Niospace. We just set Imperm and pass. So we've got Ash Imperm and then a few anti-destructions and then Dark Ruler No More to try to make something happen next turn. But that's really about it. Obviously not a great situation. We would have loved to have a target for engage Niospace, but we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. This could again, it'd be a bot. Or one duel away from Plat 3 Glory. Oh, Sword Soul. Add one Soul Sword. Let's just immediately Ash Blossom that. I don't know how to play against Sword Soul. We'll just assume that we don't want that to happen. Sword Soul Emergence is done. I want to just negate this. You know what, why not? It was normal summon, bro. If something gets normal summoned, I just do it. I don't know, man. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what I'm playing against. Red Reboot. Okay, we can't activate trap cards. That's fine. Because we can't activate it for the rest of the turn, I'm going to choose to just go for favor contact just to see if I live. All right, so Psy Reflector's just going to pop off Assault Beast, Assault Mode Activate. What does that do? Maybe one Synchromance, especially someone who wants Assault Mode Synchro. Okay, so we're doing something wacky here, bro. Ash will sub in it. Hey, go into the graveyard to get something else. I really don't know if we lived through this turn. That's kind of always my big scare with these kinds of decks, because I don't know if we're just dead. Level 7-1, we could see eight. Maybe Stardust Dragon, Assault Stardust Dragon? Probably not, though. Ah, Chaos Ruler, eh? I'm the scariest card on the block, but pretty good. I mean, I guess if he wants it in graveyard, we'll owe Triple Tactics thrust. Wow, that would be a bad card for me to have to go up against right now. Surely he won't add that. Oh, okay. Okay, okay, okay, we're getting someplace. Just straight to battle phase? Okay, we're just going to pop Neo's Fusion's effect Brave Neos won't get destroyed, but Neo's Fusion's going to go ahead and get banished. That's fine. We don't really have a way to get that back anyway. Main phase two, what's he got? Face Downs? Face Downs? Is this the turn? Oh, buddy, is this the turn? Okay, we got a set. We got a set. We've got one set. Luckily, I'm not a Labyrinth player. I didn't really feel the effects of that Red Reboot too hard. I mean, he got to play off it, I guess. So hopefully we draw into a Neospatian here or Shadow Mist. That would be obviously the ideal play what would engage Neospatian. If we draw into Polymerization, that's going to make me very sad. That would be very sad. We do a favorite contact as well to tribute one effect monster, Special Home in this card. Okay, he's trying to get some plays out here. It's a little token. He's getting back his other monster. He just wanted the little combo play, I guess. He just wanted three monsters on board. What he doesn't know is I do not care. Three monsters on board, one monster on board. It does not matter to Rainbow and Neos, but it will make me decide between getting that or just doing the normal play. But, ooh, Neo Space Connector. Now that, that's a touch interesting. For sure, Neo Space Connector is a touch interesting. This is going to set up our Prede Plant plays, Max C. Max C is definitely interesting. We could play around that. Do I want to awkward-dolphin him? I guess I could also, you know what? In this specific situation, it might be worth it to not go for a Prede Plant play and just go for a Neos. I'm just going to go for a Neos. I could be able to get game here if I go a little crazy, but he'll probably be able to stop me. That'll also give him another draw, which I don't think is inherently very smart. Ooh, you know what? This is a bit of a crazy play here. I'm not going to lie. I don't think, I don't think we do it. I don't think we go that crazy. There's really no need. Let's just go battle phase. Get our fusion card. Do what we got to do. Now this card, I don't think we're that scared of it, right? You can actually talk to the person. Yeah, I don't think we're that afraid of it. So I think we can just leave it on the board. Let's get this 2,000 beat stick out of here, bro. You're done. Brave Neo slap him up. Brave Nios, hit him. Right over the head, bro. Ooh, easy. Now, the play I wanted to do is maybe get Flare Wingman out here and do a little something something, but we'll just get another Nios fusion just in case. The reason I'm not too antsy to play quick is because I think we have decent options to at least ensure that we get another turn. And with Dark Ruler no more, I feel like we should be safe. But again, you know, it's up to a bit of interpretation here. I won't lie. I could also just Nios fusion go plus, but I don't think I want to do that. I'm just going to end. I'm just going to end, bro. I'm just going to let him cook, let him get his one turn, see if he can do anything. I don't really have any hand traps. That would have been the reason to not do this, but I mean, we'll see. We've also got in perm. He knows we have that. So, I mean, let him play. Let it play, let it play, let it play, let it play, let it play, let it play. It's a little confusing, bro. It's a little confusing. I'm trying to earn a rank up here. I'm not sure what he's doing. I'm not sure what he's playing. I'm not good at the game. Okay, he's just going to go into attack mode. If he just wants to take out Nios based connector, I won't cry. Okay, he sets another one. Battle phase. Um, I don't mind that. Yeah, I don't mind. I don't mind if that's what he's got to do. That's what he's got to do, you know? Main phase two, do we see the end? We do, in fact, see the end. Interesting. This is a real interesting game. I think we've slow played it long enough. I don't, my God. We keep drawing engaged Nios based with actually no way to make that work for me. But it's fine. It's totally fine. We're going to instant contact. Instant contact is going to bring out the one and only. I mean, we could just go crazy here, honestly. I think we instant contact into Flame Wingman and then favorite contact into Elemental Hero, Shining Wingman. I think that is genuinely the play. We have Miracle Fusion. We don't have Miracle Fusion. I still believe in the original play though. I'm going crazy. I want to see my boss monster. Flame Wingman, hit the field. Yeah, yeah. I can tell you're scared. I would be too. Now the key here, the real key here is going to be, can I not get bodied, bro? So how many elements do we have? We have only two elements on board. So we get two pops, Shining Nios Wingman, Ampiedashroid. Let's see if he pops any back row. I think I'm going to go for these two right here. These were the OG sets. I'm just going to assume that those were his go-to cards. Okay. I mean, that's, thank God I didn't hit that. Brave Nios. Yeah, go ahead. Honestly, you can go ahead and do that, bro. He lowered my attack points by a little, but let's just go ahead and one, go ahead and two. Bye-bye. And this duel is pretty much over, honestly, because this is going to do 3K and then 400. So 400 and then 3K and so 800. So I don't really got to do anything, but I will go to attack position just because I'm, just because I'm him, bro. Why not? Nios Wingman, go ahead, bro. Talk to him. 400 and there's a little 3000. That's going to be it for the video. We actually got the Plat 3 with Nios. That's a little crazy. I think this, this deck could get the diamond. And by that, I mean, if you got a lot of time and patience, you could technically do it. So, which one of you guys is going to do it? Cause it ain't going to be me at least not today. Hopefully you enjoyed it. I have been Don Adoya. Thank you for watching this video. I will see you in the next one.
