1
We're all waiting for a list that we know is going to be disappointing,
2
but what if it's not?
3
What if it actually saves us?
4
What if it's great?
5
It might be.
6
Oh!
7
Oh my god.
8
Oh my god.
9
Oh my god.
10
It's beautiful.
11
Oh my god.
12
It's beautiful.
13
Dude, I'm shaking.
14
I am shaking.
15
Okay.
16
Beatrice, expected.
17
Calamity, great.
18
We'll take it.
19
Appaloosa, great.
20
Beansmith's Lachryma is wonderful because this means that they were actually willing to meaningfully hit the Fiendsmith engine.
21
I love that one.
22
This one is better than expected.
23
The only thing that I'm really worried about right now is that there's no Snake Eye card.
24
Why is there no Snake Eye card?
25
I'm scared of that.
26
So I'm gonna scroll over to the limits
27
and there better be a lot of Snake Eye cards on there because this is not enough to beat Snake Eye.
28
Oh my god, that's a lot of limits.
29
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
30
Whoa, oh my god.
31
Okay, Eva, I don't care, whatever.
32
Snake Eye Ash
33
and Snake Eye Poplar number 40 gimmick puppet of strings number
34
c40 gimmick puppet of dark strings i don't know what
35
that means i don't care branded fusion opening of the spirit gates pot of prosperity sang
36
and summoning
37
that grass looks greener skill drain you know what my problem is right now just a little bit is
38
because all of these changes are great but i don't know
39
if it's enough for snake eye for now before rage of
40
the abyss is out i think banning appalooza is probably fine
41
when we're talking about snake eye
42
because now it's really hard to make a meaningful snake eye combo
43
that beats nibiru the problem is snake eye gets really good support
44
and asamina right and
45
so until rage of the abyss i think this is fine in regards to snake eye
46
but after rage of the abyss snake eye is just back that's a problem
47
that i have i think snake eye ash to one is stupid i think that's the worst hit
48
so far because they can just replace it with other consistency cards i hate
49
that snake eye Poplar to one out of these two.
50
Unironically is the better hit because it does one thing at least.
51
When you draw Poplar, it's going to be pretty bad.
52
But other than that, these limits,
53
I'm not a fan of those.
54
The other limits, Branded Fusion is fine.
55
I like that.
56
Now that we're talking about Branded,
57
I would have liked to see Sanctifier.
58
It's not here.
59
Opening of the Spirit Gates.
60
Like I said, they didn't want to hit Phantom of Ubel.
61
I kind of get it.
62
I mean, if you look at it, Ubel loses Beatrice but they have Aerial Eater to replace it.
63
They also lose Lachryma.
64
They lose Appaloosa and they get opening to one.
65
Overall, this is decent when it comes to Yubel.
66
Pot of Prosperity is a card that should have been at one a long time ago.
67
It's finally happened.
68
That's good.
69
Sangam Summoning is another thing I predicted.
70
That's great.
71
Skill Drain, it needed to have.
72
That's a W.
73
Honestly, so far, everything is a W except for how they dealt with Snake Eye post Rage of Diabit.
74
Gimmick Puppet FTK, I assume that's gone with these two.
75
I don't know enough about Gimmick Puppets.
76
I'm assuming if they make these two limits, it does something.
77
I'm hoping it.
78
Grass to one.
79
I honestly, I don't mind it.
80
It's at one in Master Duel and I don't really think grass is the problem in Master Duel.
81
I think it's okay.
82
It's a paleo buff.
83
That's good.
84
I find it hard to argue against Eva.
85
I don't like the card because it's mostly a Drytron card and I don't like Drytron.
86
At the same time, Eva is allowed in Master Duel,
87
for example, and it doesn't really do anything.
88
Semi-limited.
89
Okay, we have only unhits here.
90
We've got Blaster, Redox, Tempest,
91
Tidal, Lunalight, Tiger, Colossus, and Ib.
92
None of those matter.
93
Long story short, the only thing worth noting here is I think Colossus is moving in the wrong direction.
94
But I said this last time,
95
if you want Colossus to be legal,
96
which is a questionable decision,
97
I think it's better if it's at 2 or 3.
98
Thunder Dragon Colossus at 2 only benefits Thunder Dragon directly.
99
The pure Thunder Dragon deck.
100
No other deck plays more than one Colossus anyway.
101
Okay, and then unhits.
102
Armageddon Knight, fine.
103
Red Rose Dragon, fine.
104
Kirin, fine.
105
Flushfire, fine.
106
Ancient Fairy Dragon, fine.
107
Denglong, fine.
108
Time Seal, fine.
109
Okay, Unlimiteds I have no issues with, all fine.
110
It's a big list with a lot of changes that I think properly addresses a lot of stuff in the format.
111
It addresses Skill Drain, which I think is very important.
112
It addresses Prosperity, it addresses Tenpai, it addresses Yubell.
113
It addresses something that I did not expect them to address,
114
which is Fiendsmith's Lachrama.
115
They finally hit Appaloosa and Beatrice and Calamity.
116
Those are things we've been asking for for long times and that's great.
117
I think until Rage of the Abyss comes out,
118
this is a good list.
119
The problem is what happens after Rage of the Abyss.
120
It's not even a question.
121
After Rage of the Abyss, Snake Eye will return.
122
Rage of the Abyss releases in TCG October 10th.
123
For the next six weeks,
124
I think this list is fine.
125
After Rage of the Abyss,
126
we're gonna have some problems with snake eye.
127
I don't know how I feel about that.
128
Give me Flamberge to 0 instead of Poplar to 1,
129
and I think I am almost completely happy.
130
Which is crazy that it is this close, but yet so far.
131
There's so much on this that I want to like.
132
There's so much on here that I was asking for.
133
There's even stuff on here that is even more than I was asking for, like Lachryma.
134
I was never expecting Lachryma to get hit so fast.
135
I just have a problem with snake eye,
136
and I'm not satisfied with the Snake Eye hits on this.
137
I am not.
138
I think what it depends on is how long are they gonna wait for the next one?
139
How long are they gonna wait after Rage of the Abyss to finally kill it?
140
Because this does not kill it.
141
And I felt like we needed that.
142
I felt like Yu-Gi-Oh! needed to kill Snake Eye.
143
And that's my only problem right now.
144
Snake Eye is gonna be on a hiatus,
145
basically, just for like a month.
146
Oh, it's delicious.
147
You like it?
148
No?
149
Okay.
150
I'm trying to sort my thoughts.
151
I'm sure I'm gonna have a lot more thoughts in the upcoming days.
152
I think there were a lot of things
153
that this banlist needed needed to do or that I wanted this ban list to do.
154
Let's say there were like 10 things I wanted this list to do.
155
So this list did nine of them,
156
but then the one thing it didn't do was the most important one.
157
With this list, I'm probably not really touching Snake Eye.
158
With Appaloosa being banned, Nibiru is going to be a huge deal in the TCG,
159
which honestly, I personally think that's a good thing.
160
I don't want decks to just make Appaloosa on summon five and then ignore Nibiru and combo further.
161
I think Nibiru being something you have to really consider when you're making your first turn board is important.
162
I think it's good for the game
163
because it has impact on a lot of games even when your opponent doesn't have Nibiru, right?
164
Now that you can't just make Apo,
165
you have to be like,
166
oh, I'm making a board,
167
but I have to maybe hold back some resources because in case my opponent has Nibiru and stuff.
168
And until Rage of the Abyss,
169
this is going to handle the snake eye problem.
170
But after Rage of the Abyss, there's no shot.
171
No runic hits?
172
Yeah, it's crazy.
173
It's almost like they have a brain.
174
I've been live for 10 and a half hours.
175
My head is spinning right now.
176
I'm happy it's finally here.
177
I have to sort my thoughts.
178
That was my initial reaction.
179
We'll try to put my thoughts into words better on the upcoming streams.
180
Overall, I don't think this is terrible.
181
I really don't.
182
I think there's a lot of things going in the right direction here.
183
For YCS Lil, I think this is fine.
184
I'm a little worried, but that's mostly because Rage of the Abyss,
185
which is a set in six weeks.
186
And I don't want to be worried about that right now.
187
I want to be happy about some of the things that did happen.
188
A lot of good stuff happened here.
189
Let's not pretend like it didn't.
190
I'll try to sort my thoughts.
191
We're going to do a whole lot of talking and theorizing with the new Forbidden and Limited list.
192
And I will see you guys.. then.
193
you

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
