This go second build is pretty fun. I just dueled against a kashtira player and they rage quit. Thanks Hardleg.
The evolution of his editing is insane
59:35 I would've summoned Saion and Nazuki in opposite spots, make unicorn with saion and beyond, summon Dominator Duke, move him with Nazuki, steal Baronne, boom.
Amazing duels!!!
Does hardleg not know the difference between left and right? "Slide to the right" goes left 😅
This was really good! You played really well, and I learned things!
Neat. I've been having a blast learning to link with my Beetrooper deck. The deck is mostly done. Has accesscode talker, Knightmare stuff, and Goddess of the Dark World? The one that needs 5 mats including 1 from your opponent. If this deck is that complicated it might be fun to learn how to use it.
I love how unphased you were against Kashtira zonelock. Around the 1:46 mark xD
Thank you, Joe, for playing my favorite deck for this. Sure you made a few mistakes but I will always appreciate seeing this deck getting the love it deserves.
is it me or does this episode look low qual? I'm watching on 1080 and the screen seems to be all fuzzy
the overwatch reference in duel 23 made it for me
This is Gold!
Well paced. And a delight to see you go from an absolute novice BS-ing his way through the deck profile to a truly commendable Vaylantz pilot!
So many memorable duels.
That terrifying Labrynth tactical masters
grudgematch,
Learning what Purrely Delicious memory does,
That glorious war of attrition against Dragon Link who psy-framed you when you had lethal,
The chaotic neutral sky Striker player,
Fossil Dino Pachycephalus IS in fact a Flip Monster!
I was here
"Enjoy turtle!" 😀
Why one Dogoran over a lower atk kaiju like Kumongous? Is it for FIRE barrier statue or something? Burn damage with Grand Duke?
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon gives you another search for a missing pendulum piece, so you can get more consistency and get a 2500 beatstick with double battle damage on the board.
The Kendo Spirit tech is one many missed and I am glad to find on Duel Links. I am still ruminating on a deck that uses that mini-archetype and some other tech that relates to them. Since they have a Monarch statline, you have search options and other synergy.
This video could be called lowering the Win Rate of Maxx "C"
I was so happy to finally not only a pendulum deck make it on the show again but the most complex one since DDD. Thanks Joe for making amazing content yet again.
Vaylantz can be lucky that Lava Golem and Kaijus exist. Without these the deck does nothing going 2nd.
Holy this is such a cool deck lol imagine playing this on the playground back in the day 😂😂
Favourite family channel swear words! Oh the shame… Lol
2:17:12
I love Vaylantz's concept but their in-archetype endboard is pretty awful, and it takes a LOT of work to get there
Im trying to watch this because ive seen them all….however it just reminds me why i hate pendelums as a mechanic of the game….
That duel 24 vs lab was so fun to watch. Great job figuring out the path to victory.
pendulum when arise heart is in the meta and zone locking is ambitious can't wait for them to lock your two pen zones and you scoop
I know you’ve pointed out how much work you put into the intro, so this might go without saying… but I love your intro segments.
They’re so engaging and I love the combination of wacky and witty that goes into them.
Really liked you videos but who plays vaylants?
thank you for showing me Vaylantz, built a deck last night and having a blast with it even if I don't have the best grasp on it entirely yet.
I am actually constantly destroyed by card effects.
“We are bear tops over here ladies and non ladies” me looking at Hardleg Joe.. yes I agree
Waiting for the return of IgKnight
