You might be here saying, okay, I'm not into worship ministry. Why am I learning this? Is it important for me? But most of these points are very very intentional. It can be applied for any area of your ministry for personal personal growth and also your ministry growth as well, okay, and so Please keep that in mind as we go through the content of this course if References are made to sit music musical instruments or skills or talents related to music We just keep that in mind. The course is all about that and we will also learn about the basic administrator functions of the worship ministry Team yeah, is that cool? So that's where we are with worship ministry Is there anybody here involved in a worship team or you lead worship or you are leading a worship ministry? I may just ask Okay Cool, okay So a lot of the things about worship ministry is I want us to start off talking about the challenges of leading a worship ministry Okay it's worship ministry leading a worship ministry and leading worship are two very different things, okay? It's two very different things So leading worship is something that you would do in a con in a congregation Corporately or a small group whatnot, right? So you would lead them in worship, but leading a worship ministry itself is a whole different ball game Okay, so overseeing a worship ministry is a challenging leadership task that requires insight and skill to growing your leadership as you look at the ministry and what not right? There are leadership and skill challenges that that comes with this with this title of a worship pastor or You know associate worship pastor or whatever if you're leading a worship ministry and whatnot, right? It's so important to know that you're leading a worship ministry whatnot, right? It's you have to take care of the dynamics of the entire team the band and whatnot and then there are these Technical challenges that come with working with everyone from volunteer musicians to worship arts leaders to sound team to the visual tech team Etc. Okay, and and so those are just a few of the challenges, right? If you're leading a worship ministry, you have the team in itself that you're leading and then you also have to take and a bunch of musicians who are like, you know Volunteers, how do you handle them? it's another thing and You have the sound team, which is very important the sound and setup team for your church Coordinating with them and the graphics team the media team And whatnot and we haven't even mentioned about the congregation right so In my time just being a worship leader and whatnot I've heard quite a lot being said to me, right?  I really don't like the songs you pick or how you lead them And by the way, also, this is an FYI worship ministry or the worship team or the worship ministry of a church In my opinion is the only team that gets the highest number of opinions and suggestions What do I mean by that Roshan? So it's like And why do you guys always do slow songs in the beginning? Why don't you do some fast songs? And why do you only do fast songs in the beginning? Why can't you do slow songs? Why are you doing only new songs? Why can't you do some old songs? And why are you doing only old songs? Why can't you do some new songs? That's I'm hoping it relates some of you relate to it It is it is not it is it's really not a pleasant place Okay, if you think the worship that this thing of worship pastor or worship leading or worship ministries You're so fancy being under the light and the spotlight. It's it's fun. It is fun Okay, it is when you look at it and from a different perspective when you see that it's You're just going with all your heart pursuing God And whatnot. It's beautiful. It's nice But then there is also this site the challenges that come along with it right the congregation This leading the church you are leading the church, right? So that's in my opinion is worship ministry of a church and gets the highest number of opinions and suggestions and whatnot You know why because it is the worship ministry or the worship team of a church That sets the hunger and the desperation level For the whole of congregation Right, it is the worship team that sets The hunger for more of God for more of his presence We are the ones that set the tone the level or create that hunger for For the congregation to pursue God for more. Okay, that's once again in my opinion You are free to defer and whatnot, but then once again This is my humble opinion from what I've seen if the worshipers in the worship team Are the ones true worshipers of you know worshipping God in spirit and in truth Going after him pursuing after his presence the congregation will want to see will see that and want more of that You know because what they will see the what the congregation see is the team on the stage And the congregation below the stage, you know and the congregation always sees It's it's like there's an invisible partition an Invisible line or an invisible veil if I may say between the congregation and the team And that can only be broken out of freedom because the river only flows down. Okay Hey, okay, just give me one second. There's some interference. Just give me a couple minute, please. Sorry Sorry guys my apologies. Okay Yeah, so there are challenges so leading worship is one thing and leading a worship ministry is a whole different ballgame as I mentioned Okay, so we need all the help we can get If you are leading a worship ministry if you are leading a ministry and if a worship ministry is under your supervision Your worship pastor Your ministry leader will need all the help he or she can get up in the area so that we can reduce stress Administratively and relationally Okay, so the challenges are real guys in worship ministry. It's it's it's fun It's it's beautiful. We get to pursue God and his presence as a collective as individuals It's it's a beautiful season that you know and I always keep encouraging my team Saying that hey, you know, we are in this You know only for a season, right? And we have to make the most of it in our pursuit of the time that we have together All right. I have Louie. Do we have question? I see your hand is raised Louis. Do you have a question? I can't hear you Okay, so I put on my videos of my Okay, do you have a question? No, I just want to you say something that That's the The worship team in the church sets the tone for the hunger of the congregation. Yeah I Don't know that's easy question or just a comment. I grew up in Bersie, but I could see a woman And most of the songs there was the sign were coming out of the teachings from the man of God So I'm trying to act is it that the pastor also sets the fabric or sets the texture of the message of the songs So it's like congregation to the worship team then the worship team to the pastor in that sense or it's just something that has to do with the Impressions of the spirit is just a loan or it comes from the fabric of the message informs the texture of the worship That extends to the contribution as a whole is that I will correct if you see that Yes, absolutely. I agree with you a hundred percent over there You know over the premise that you know, I just wanted to reiterate that that opinion was my opinion You know, but then also you are right on the nail and you say that yes You know, it's the our senior pastor also sets The culture the tone the hunger level and everything for the rest of the congregation Right and we learn more about it in the next chapter as well and how important it is to communicate with your senior pastor and you know in terms of Setting the culture for the for the congregation for the church itself. Yeah Yes, say I see your hand I Just wanted to chip in in support of your opinion is that I think the worship team Have a very very critical role in setting the atmosphere for the word of God to drop in parts of people Yeah, and so it's not just basically coming to Mark time because there's worship on the agenda for church People will basically to create an atmosphere. Yeah, but the heart of people will receptive to God and They can just fix their eyes on Jesus. It's just Support of what you say. Thank you so much say yeah, I appreciate that We one of our first album as a PC right the entire thing love album Was birthed out of pastor Ashish's sermon series on the psalms so he wanted to do a sermon series on psalms and So, you know, he he approached the team is like, okay Can we write some songs together or around the psalms that we that we will be talking about and so That's what the team did we got together and we started writing songs and One year later the album came out. So yeah, and this is in In response to what Louie was also saying and it's beautiful Charles you yeah, you see your hand being Yeah, just a it's not a Question but seeking clarity and maybe seeing whether it would be applicable For instance, if the worship team is preparing the songs that they're going to do For a service that is upcoming Would it be advisable to know the theme For the pastor that he's going to speak from so that they can prepare the songs for worship and praise Forowing the theme that is what I was thinking about Yeah, so hold on a second. Let me just Share this You're still able to hear me right So what you are seeing What you're seeing is the worship team roster That that is being sent out to the entire worship team. I'm not gonna show the whole Rostrum what not so here you see we started we are having this sermon series going on faith and science and For that Sunday is in the day. So all the sermon titles are being sent out to the team So the team that is leading so we have a bunch of worship leaders This is also how the roster looks like they're kind of jumping the gun here, but that's okay So every worship leader with this these are all the locations Central South North East West so when they look at this tab, they know, okay, what is the sermon series and? and so they can Prepare accordingly and and so now we know that the sermon series are on faith and science We look for songs that is around creation, you know Things like songs like indescribable God of Wonders and so they they can prepare well. I hope that answers Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Welcome Yeah, cool. So worship ministry is beautiful the time of worship in the church is also It's crucial. So yeah with that in mind. Let's move on. Okay, so we as ministers worship pastors worship ministers ministry leaders We need all the help we can get to reduce up the stress level Administratively and relationally extra extra because the challenges of leading the worship ministry is real Okay, so in this journey All there are four relationships in this ministry that make or break us Okay, each of the four areas of worship ministry the following four relationships Is it's not just an exhaustive list? Okay? there are a lot of relationships involved in our life that demand our attention and and whatnot but Again talking putting it into our context if you have to succeed in the task of building an effective worship ministry I've zeroed it down to these four points here. Okay the number one is All these four points are very basic, but then it's so crucial foundational to a to our life as ministers, okay first one our relationship with God how many of you think it's important It's one or two. Yeah We cannot compromise On this point, isn't it our relationship with God Right, it's crucial. It's foundational. It's we just can't say it's important and move on. It's it's everything right everything That that overflows from you is birthed in within you from this this point your time with him your relationship With him how intimate are you with him, right? So never compromise your secret life with God or confuse it with your public ministry activity Okay, never compromise your secret life your time with God or confuse it. Okay, this is a big deal and And I've seen it happen it is possible that we can get confused with our public minister activity as a continuation of our relationship with God No, that is different. This is different. You need to get alone with him You need to you know seek his presence pursue his presence spend time with him reading his word You know, so your physical health your emotional well-being Your authority as a spiritual leader everything hinge on this Right in the first chapter we learned about how David, you know He brought the presence back, isn't it? He was a visionary so much to say but And We can look back and see where it all began right when it's when he first starts us goes to Saul and said You know, I'll take on Goliath And Saul says how can you do this?  He says when I was tending my father's flock My father's sheep and a lion and a bear attacked You know, I went after it. I held the lion bites beard and rescued my sheep the imagery is beautiful, isn't it and When one of the very famous quotes Bill Johnson says is if you can kill a lion and a bear in private God will let you kill a Goliath in public right so and and Another feature about a shepherd boy or a shepherd in that region is they would take the flock and Go away into the wilderness area and the shepherd has been gone for a long time Huge a lot of hours of the day And so you can imagine the David as a shepherd boy with his flock all alone Only the flock as his audience. He has so much of time for himself Because he is alone and all he did during this time was right Psalms worshipping and his audience worship, right? So he was alone with God and so we as leaders we as worshippers you know forgive me if this point is too basic but We need to get back to basics sometimes we need to remind ourselves as ministry leaders as worshipers The importance of our relationship with God right if you can play an instrument get on your instrument when there is no crowd and just Be a lead worshiper and don't just be a worship leader Right, so that's our first one is a relationship with God and and the second point that will make or break Break you in this journey as a leader is your relationship with your family Okay Our first church to which we must attend is our family Having a good husband or wife son daughter father mother or even friend is Central to being a good worship leader or and an overseer of a worship ministry and need I elaborate on this I don't need to but then I just want to emphasize that and say First your relationship with God second your relationship with your family What face are they seeing you know at home what face of yours are you are they seeing at home? Right, so that that is essential and the third one Which is getting a little bit more real now is your relationship with your pastor Okay, your relationship with your senior pastor One of the most vital relationships in the local church is often one of the most neglected The relationship between the worship leader and the pastor of the church right and and most of the times And this is again I'm Just out of experience, you know, it I've seen where because of miscommunication and because of Very a relationship that is so frictional between the senior pastor or a worship leader or the worship team because not every church In India at least that I've seen has a worship pastor. It's just a worship coordinator or who's volunteering for the church and It is possible that there is No proper relationship between the two a Lot of people can get hurt right the congregation gets hurt the worship team gets hurt the pastor gets hurt Everybody involved can get hurt. So this relationship is very very crucial. Okay.   Okay, both ways Right, so Let's talk a little bit more about what makes or what can make a Healthy relationship between the two. Okay, the senior pastor and the worship pastor So God intends that a mutually cooperative Unity prevailed between the senior pastor and the worship pastor God has blessed each of us with abilities that are uniquely our own and we must be content with our gifts The pastor and the worship pastor are not in competition You need to understand that Each is able to contribute in areas that make the ministry of the other more effective Each is able to contribute in areas that make the ministry of the other more effective Okay, so I just want to pause there and say and remind us once again of what we learned from worship ministry in the Old Testament With the couple of scriptures that we read back then one of the things that kept standing out was unity, right? When they did something with a unity with one voice when they lifted There, you know, when they played together as one when they sang together as one there's something beautiful that happens In unity and we need to get that right And there's something else that I learned. I saw a firsthand in 2018. I think We had something called a big Sunday during Christmas time It's a it's one of those Sundays where At apc we it's like an evangelistic Sunday We ask our church members a congregation to invite all their friends their unbelievers To come to you know come to church. We encourage them to do that every Sunday But then just that Sunday we say we specifically say it's going to be more like an evangelistic Sunday So it's a big deal. Okay, it's it's like a nice celebration where every team is doing something from the worship team to the children's church and the arts team, you know dance and arts whatnot so, um, you know, it was that sign is also Every team is like, uh, you know, kind of discussing about okay. Hey, when when are you guys practicing? When are you guys doing this? You know when when is our time when are we when are we going to get the stage to run do a rehearsal and whatnot? and uh And one of them responded by saying it's like, hey, no, no, we can't give you the slot because it's our time We have to we have to do this. You know things like that can happen. It happens And so one of the team member responded so beautifully. He said hey guys, we are not in competition We are one. Okay. We are doing this together as one.  It's not we versus you We are all in this together from the children's church team to the worship team to every other team, right? And so let's see how we can accommodate each other and um, so simple communication like that goes a long way Isn't it? I'm sure you all have been in scenarios like that and relate to um But yeah, anyone been in something like that Exchanged unpleasantries and also resolve Okay, right. It's only kong But then kongi, I guess it's just me and you then Okay, so uh coming back to this uh point right our relationship with our pastor. So here are a few things that can help um Us in our relationship with our senior pastor and vice versa. Okay So for the first one Once again basic respect Right worship pastor needs to respect by submitting to his authority Accepting the direction and the decisions of the pastor Right the pastor should now the senior pastor should respect To the worship pastor by not constantly interrupting or pre-empting the worship pastors methods without consideration Okay, once again one of the lessons that we learned from david's worship team the way he set up on first chronicles chapter 25 was all of them all of the worst the the The asaf he man jerethen and their sons. They were all under the supervision of the king And so right we need to respect that and uh If you're leading a ministry of the church, what is the senior pastor's vision for the church? You can't just come in and say i'm the worship pastor now I'm going to take off in an opposite direction because this is what the lord has spoken He said thus says the lord we that it's not going to happen. Right. That's clearly not for the lord Right, uh, we need to learn to respect and honor The vision of our senior pastor Yeah, it begins from there and knowing that we are under the supervision of our senior pastor and he is accountable to god right and then Also a message to the worship to the senior pastor is like hey, you know sometimes it's okay Give this with a worship pastor the freedom to fail Right, uh, and we'll get to that point in just a bit again, uh, and you know Just because the one is a senior pastor what? You've hired that person for a reason Knowing that okay, this person has skills that I don't and so i'm going to trust This person with leading the team and not keep interrupting or preempting You know with their methods and considerations and whatnot of course Having discussed about that That takes us to the second point of consideration Okay with the first point as a premise we go to second point which is consideration so When the pastor and the worship pastor have different ideas Which in most case is the reason About what the direction the service should take Each must have consideration for the other Okay, once again, and you will have consideration when you have respect out of respect I'm going to hear you what you have to say And then you will hear me what I have to say because there is mutual respect, right? We understand each other. I as a worship pastor. I understand that I am under the supervision Of my senior pastor and then he my my senior pastor also knows why he hired me and so he will hear me out Right, uh, the worship leader should be considerate of the pastor Respect his respecting his expertise his experience his vision For the church and whatnot and the pastor may allow the worship leader to make mistakes due to lack of experience And correct him or her gently in private after the service instead of public during the worship time Right. So let me see the role of the pastor is to build up We still are inefficient. So we'll read more about the role of the worship pastor and the chapters to come Kennedy hi, do you mind elaborating a question, please? Hi, Kennedy if you can hear me do Mind elaborating on that Okay, if you're talking, I think your mic is on mute. So Okay, all right. So Kennedy says he will talk later Cool Right. So there's respect consideration and that also finally also leads us to the third point is communication Okay, ms. 33 says can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction That's a beautiful verse. Uh, can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction And so there is no such thing as over communication with your pastor Okay, can I say that again? There is no such thing as Over communication and I've also learned this from leading a team Okay, this is uh, I don't know a pointer or a tip of leading a team is There is no such thing as common sense Right. Um, so as a leader what uh, you know, what seems common sense to me You'll be surprised to know that common sense doesn't occur that easily to a lot of people in the team so If you think it's common sense and assume that the team is just going to do that because it's common sense to you Uh, it's not going to happen. I mean that doesn't happen You as a leader is the one who will get frustrated angry and erupt So even if it's some, you know, a silly thing, uh, the most The common sense kind of thing Communicated because there is no such thing as over communicating in this context, especially with your pastor Okay, so if either have an issue against the other if worship pastor is frustrated with The expectations of the pastor or if the pastor is upset With the worship pastor for not understanding the vision Etc the only solution will be found is an honest loving communication Both need to remain humble and guard against pride Right guys. Um, are you with me? Any thoughts or anything else that you want to add? Uh Wait, uh, do you agree that uh a relationship your relationship with the worship pastor or the senior pastor has to be healthy And it's important Yes, Christopher, please Okay Christopher raised his hand and left the meeting All right. Thanks. Thanks for your response guys. Yeah Uh, do you think any of the points that can be added to uh, what is listed here respect consideration And how we can keep the relationship, uh Healthy between the senior pastor and the worship pastor any of the points that you want to add You can add in the chat section or you can unmute and speak I can I'll add it in the next year's lips Hey, uh, Christopher, I see you join back again. Uh, is there a question that you'd like to ask? Yeah, sorry. Uh, my question is Um It regards to I mean, I agree completely with all the what you had mentioned Uh, my only question is uh, does this not also apply to Uh other pastors pastors who are you know, uh looking after branches in the church And uh, not just necessarily to the uh worship pastor. So what you mentioned was, you know, the relationship of God with family and with a senior pastor Uh, would this not be similar to to that to those pastors also? Absolutely, Christopher. So, uh, I mean, so when I when we began this, uh, the The the chapter three in this class I began by the premise by saying, uh, this every most of the content that we will discuss The points that we will discuss is applicable, uh for every area of ministry as well Regardless of which ministry you all you'll be leaving and um, so and this we're talking about these points more in context with only worship ministry But then like you can talk about communication uh, respect consideration for of every area of ministry, right? Your relationship with your family is important regardless of which ministry you're leading. It's not just worship ministry. So Uh, and um, yeah, that's what I began by saying and you're right. It's applicable for every area of ministry Yeah, is that okay? Christopher. Okay. Uh, louis, uh, please go ahead Uh, I think sometimes you have healthy expectations from the worship team Um, because we use better or your song in our private worship does not mean we respect that Um from the worship team at certain levels So I think there should be that expectation that they grow Um in the grace and the spirit of the house Um, so that at the point in time we can see that there was a journey Um in their skills in the anointing their graces And then we can all come to a place where we're celebrating them as our own worship experience Yes, um, but if you use better to worship at home They come to church and expect that kind of worship then they don't have that skill set. They don't have that exposure Yes, um, there can be some kind of conflict with the worship pastor and the senior pastor Um, they're secondly understanding how they the pastor flows with the word of god and the gifts of the spirits and also help because um If if I'm on that someone like pastor, I should say it's more gentle and more calm in the disposition for the word I don't bring that to a tdjx meeting. It might not work Because the the sound and the music Um, it's gonna be different if I'm going to do a vamp or a pastor ashes It might not allow him flow in the gift of the spirit and then the communication on the work Yes, I can start playing a him or like a tdjx. I might not get the best of the person else So I must also distinguish and the character of the person I'm on there. I'm serving on that so that if I'm bringing um A sound to help his the ministration of the word It's more effective that way spiritually the the pastor Worship pastor and senior pastor can begin to come and begin to bond spiritually even without so much Meetings just that because your policies follow me as a as a full of christ Yeah, so if you understand how god ministers to this person then it can help you are the worship leader to coordinate your team to help him um function better when he's minister Yeah Thanks to you. Yeah Yes, I think if we were to simplify it as an uh to just put it into Maybe one or two words one is definitely maturity or spiritual maturity And the other one I would say is being sensitive to uh, what being sensitive To god, of course to the moving of his spirit and also being sensitive to the congregation that you are leading All right, um, like just as you mentioned the congregation's background or you know the the demographic The average age group of the congregation everything it's all about coming it comes down to serving Right, you're serving god. You're serving your senior pastor.  It all comes down to that. Yeah Yeah, thanks for sharing that And um, I just want to um you know The last point before we take a break. Um, this other relationship The fourth point is your relationship with your extended team members Right because at the end of the day if you are the worship pastor you're leading a team and um If you don't care For your team if your relationship with them and their relationship with you is not healthy um It's going to be Yeah, it's going to be very challenging Uh, it's in hebrus 3 13. We all know this was so encourage one another as long as it's called today So that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness, right? So uh, just keeping in constant touch With your team encouraging them individually checking on them. How are they doing? How is their walk with god? spiritually what's happening in their life just being proactive and not just reactive but proactive about genuinely taking interest in their life as like, hey You know getting to know them catching up with them for coffee and and whatnot and creating a culture A kingdom culture and not a culture of criticism or backbiting Etc etc, right? um Encourage your team members to be difficult to be offend This is uh offense is a huge part that can Uh that can break a team that can destroy individuals or teams right offense getting offense. So Uh, there's a wonderful book. You might already know there's a apc publication called You know offense. It's a small 30 page book. I think So creating a culture a healthy culture a kingdom culture Of encouragement, uh, you know as being there for one another a culture of community You know So many things right all the healthy culture that you can think of is very important So you as a ministry leader and your relationship is very crucial with the team members That you are leading. Are you genuinely taking interest in their life? Right? so And also having said all of this the in the in the last three lines of that point It is also vital that I mentioned here the relationship between members of the opposite sex must always be Kept above board with people keeping and respecting appropriate intimacy boundaries both in public and in private Right. It cannot be stressed enough on that one of some of the guidelines that we have at least at apc is that if you're meeting with A lady member of your team, they will have to meet a me and the church office Uh, you know, and so there is no meeting Individually privately in a cafe or whatnot. So, I mean all of this is just understanding the guidelines of the church respecting one another's boundaries Especially when it comes to the opposite sex and keeping a character in check your integrity in check and all of that is very crucial As well because you're not just going to be leading a man. I mean a team of the same sex right, so That's these are the four, uh, you know relationship That can make as a breakers In the journey of worship ministry. Okay. First thing is your relationship with god your relationship with family your family Relationship with our pastor and finally our relationship with the team members Okay Uh, we take a break now and we'll come back and resume the second session Right. Thanks guys. Have a good one


Hi everyone, so today I'm going to talk about incremental proof of sequential work and It was very convenient that there was a talk before me So I don't have to go through the same things again But this is again to look off talk about proof of sequential work So just let me give you a brief introduction about the primitive So the idea is that the prover receives an input a statement then it does some work the work takes Approximately time and and then the prover is able to find and to compute a small proof Which we call pi Such that the verifier given the statement X and the proof pi is able to say yes or no in the sense that you accept or rejects the proof and This is a very very natural primitive to have and there are many applications and Beyond you know like the classical blockchains with this this can be used right off the box for doing things like CPU Benchmarking or you know time stamping of a document in general is a nice little primitive that that we I think we all agree This deserves to be studied So let me let me be slightly more formal and this is going to be the last formal slide of the talk So get out of the way and So what we want from from a proof of sequential work is of course completeness Completed this means that honest proof correctly verify is like sanity checks fine We want soundness soundness intuitively means that I cannot force proof in time much less than and and note that it is important here that That the soundness is parameterized by a certain constant This constant doesn't have to be universal in the sense that it's a constant might show up for example in the proof size But the sequentiality of the prover is required to be at least one minus constant times and so in the sense There is some some some slack is not a perfect proof You're allowed to make some some shortcuts as not as long as you are not taking too many of those then Then we're okay with it and if you are too short then then we want this We wanted that the verifier ejects your proof with all but negligible probability And throughout the next the next talk by time I mean random oracle queries and Number of random oracle queries. It's easy to show that that in the random oracle model repeated queries are inherently sequential, right? so But you can substitute time with random oracle queries and We have some efficiency requirement which makes the primitive non-trivial The primitive has to has to have short proof And fast verification in the sense that you need don't want to go through the whole computation again and We want additionally to be non-interactive by non-interactive I mean that there is just a single proof that gets exchanged from the prover to the verifier and Publicly verifiable which was exactly the point that you raised before so I'm glad that I actually Yeah Yeah, so it's publicly verifiable everyone should be able to verify the proof and Well, this is a bonus feature which is due to the fact that our construction achieves it and that the fact that You can extend queries for for parameters greater than than the fixed n without of course starting over and this is you know for example, this is this feature is useful for For the time stamping when you know that your computer or your hardware is are is prone to to some failure And you don't want to start over every time your machine shuts down, right? So it the you you compute the proof up to a certain point you can fork you it's it's an interesting feature And it's good to have Okay, so now this these slides require a bit of imagination in the sense that I didn't put any constant here You substitute with your favorite constant and I didn't put all the related work here because of space issues But like RSW is all captured by by this so that means said Let me let me quickly summarize the feature of what's known. So the first two are Construction of proof of sequential work. The first was from a Mood et al, which we call MMD and The second one is from a coin Peter tuck and I don't want to slaughter anybody's surname. So it's CP Okay So the first the first construction was was the motivating exam motivating work of this of this line of work and It achieves essentially logarithmic proof size and very fire complexity, which is nice But it had a Prover memory complexity proportional to MF if you think the N is Something around 2 to the 40. This is like typical parameters of N. It requires really a lot of memory So and this is why this is where the the coin Peter's a CP construction Improved a lot and they they had this very elegant idea to use this nice graph that we show in the talk before and They they they managed to bring down the proof of the proof of memory complexity all the way to log N However, this came at a slight cost in the sense that the prover computation is now to N as opposed to N And we'll see in a minute where does where does this come from and let me mention that that they also they also outline a They also have a have a trade-off where they managed to trade a little bit of proof of computation for for for Decreasing the the the proof of memory this in practice is very good But you know there is this motivates the question whether we can get you know the best of both words Okay, let me mention all these both this construction. They are based only on our random oracles and And there is no no no additional assumption. They are both Both very very simple and very easy to implement and practically efficient Right, so now it comes to the rest of the machinery Of course as we discussed before Verifiable delay function is a proof of sequential work. It is a stronger primitive and as such It requires at least week. It's conjecture. They require stronger assumption We we known we know new constructions very recent construction and they're presented at this conference that take the RSW paradigm paradigm and use the sequentiality of squaring over in the northern group plus random oracles But they they essentially achieve the best support of whole words. They are incremental and they they get best parameter asymptotically and Well, then of course if we go one level one level above in the hierarchy, then we get incremental verifiable computation, which is a Verifiable delay function. It's again, of course proof sequential work and what is this really really involves machinery this builds on on on Recursive compositions of snarks. So as far as I'm aware, they're the only two construction one uses a random oracle in a non-blackbox way So it's unclear what it means and the other one uses pairings But but but but as a trusted setup. So Then this brings me to our result We are interested in the first setting. So in the simple proof of sequential works based on random oracles only And we want to have best parameters possible meaning polylogarithmic Prover complexity in terms of memory and and linear with constant one Prover cop prover computation and we propose two constructions. The first achieves. It's asymptotically optimal But as an extra Square factor in the in the in the prover memory But it's it runs on a single processor Whereas our second construction The it removes this this square From there from the prover memory But it requires some parallelism from the prover then we can bound the parallel the number of parallel processor to log n Which is which is I think is a reasonable isn't it reasonable assumption. I'll talk more about that later and Bonus feature both both constructions are incremental both construction are practically efficient and they are based on your random oracles Okay, so this is the one slide about the CP construction that they want to they want to give you as a glimpse So this is the graph that we saw in the previous talk and As you can see you can you can think of this as a miracle tree with some extra edges for example this one and and and this one and I Highlighted in red the traversal order. So this is the order in which the prover computes the node So very very executive summary about this The how does this how does this proof sequential work work the prover computes starts computing this graph It goes through the all computation Then once it gets to the root it applies the fission me transformation and gets a set as of challenge leaves right Now for all these leaves s he returns the the miracle commitment So let's say that this that this the one of these leaf is here And he has to return the path plus all the siblings and given all this information Then the verifier can verify indeed that that this is correctly correctly formed and that the hash are indeed computed correctly and And this is repeated in parallel to boost sadness, but this is not not really important All right, didn't tell you how the how the labels are computed Well, essentially if you take a node the label of the node consists of the hash of all the Folded labels of the node with an incoming edge Okay, so this is this is it But what's the problem where does the where does the the computation as luck come from? Well, the problem comes from the fact that you don't know the set f of challenge leaf Until you get to the root and the root is actually the last step of the computation, right? so you have no idea which Which leaves you should keep in memory until you get at the end of the computation and that's already in steps So how do you how do you solve this? Well, there are several solution, but the naive way in a sense is you know You just compute everything and either you keep the old graph in the memory That it's not good because that goes back to having a really large memory or you Recomputed in the worst case the whole graph and again, let me stress that there is a there is a trade-off which is Which brings this memory and the over to square root of n But the question is can we do better? Okay And this is this is this is where our work. These are the idea of our work. So Just before you tell me how this is trivial. I'm just presenting the idea in plain text and for the math I refer you to the paper. I just want to give you a very very high level Idea of our of our of our construction. So the idea the basic idea is actually very simple Instead of waiting until the root to sample the leaf We start accumulating and pruning leaves throughout the computation of the graph. So this is what happens, for example at node V Let's say that let our our lambda is actually the in this slide is the set of challenges. So the the cardinality of the set and You can think of this as the hardness parameter of the of the scheme So now at this point for the node L We have exactly three path and for the node R. We have exactly three path. So everything is fine And once we get to know V Then the idea is to apply Fiat Shamir to to denote V and this will index a subset of size 3 of all This of all this path. So what we do is simply we drop the path, which do not belong to this subset and Of course for for for reasonable values of lambda for high-def nodes So at the very beginning of the computation we'll just keep all the leaves, right? And the more we get higher up to the tree. Well, the more we start pruning and forgetting about about about Path that that we do that we don't need and note that as soon as the path is forgotten We don't need it anymore because what we do is just pruning Gradually as we go up to to to the tree and The the the conceptual difference is that instead of performing Fiat Shamir at the very end of the computation We do it at each node sort of except for the for the for the very high depth nodes Okay, so let me give you let me give you a quick glimpse of the algorithm and This is again, it's it's very simplified version But this is the backbone of the of the ideas from I think from here you can all reconstruct the algorithm so the prover starts the computation of the same graph of CP log n and We we define SR and SL to be the challenge set for each node V. So first we check whether whether they exceed the parameter lambda and Is such we apply Fiat Shamir. So using a random oracle to the node V and we take s We define s to be a random lambda size such set of SR Concatenated with SL Otherwise, if if they are not not large enough, we just keep s to be the unit The very fire is identical as CP. The only difference is that additionally to check the correct labeling of the graph and to Yeah, to check that the response is actually well formed the very fire is also to check whether we prune the correct branches, right? We need We need to check that the subset is correctly chosen and this can be done by simply Recomputing the hash of the node and parsing this appropriately as a subset Well, now it's very easy to see that we have at most log n log n nodes in the memory and We have at most lambda times log n root root root to leave pass in the memory So the space complexity of this of this construction is roughly lambda logs log n square and this is actually not where the Where the source of inefficiency come from I'll tell you in a minute Oh, and let me let me let me highlight that this scheme is naturally incremental in the sense that there is absolutely nothing special about the root The root node you could just keep going, right? There is there is no reason to stop at the root just the path are already there in memory And you can just keep going and and and even even after the computation So the incremental the incremental feature comes essentially for free So now the catch is that the analysis gets a bit more involved because now the proof can sheet Adaptively so what what the prover can do is that he can start some computations see if some favorable Some favorable subset of nodes is chosen then go back and change change labels introduce mistake and this this This messes up a lot and that's why we need to throw a lot of tail bounds To into our analysis and but this increases diseases increases significantly the challenge set lambda So we need in order to account for this adaptivity. We essentially need to check many more path This is the moral behind It's still fine in the sense that it's still poly logarithmic, but there is a square factor when you compare to CP 18 so our next idea is say is based on an extremely simple observation and So take any any balance miracle tree, right? Once the left tree once the left sub tree is computed Well, then it will take exactly the same amount of time to compute the rise of three So that means that for this left sub tree. We actually have enough time to run the CP 18 strategy And recompute even the left subtree. This doesn't matter. I will just spawn a parallel processor and and this and As long as we have enough parallelism this this doesn't really affect the running time because the moment I need those path I will be done with a computation and So the idea is very simple use essentially a hybrid approach between watch what I just described and the idea of CP 18 and I hope that this image help you understanding what was going on and So essentially this is the left sub tree that I was talking about So what happens is that my prover starts with a computation it gets up to this point and Up to this point if there is one the main thread continue the computation of this subtree Whereas this phones as parallel thread that goes and recompute the challenge path So in for this subtree the Fiat Shamir is just applied at this node We don't need to bother applying it doing our on-the-flying sampling strategy and The point is that we will merge the two subset at this point, but and we will need the Path that come out of this out of this subtree, but we will need them only When this node is also computed and it will take exactly the same time because it's a balanced tree, okay, and It's very easy to see that that you can there is a very easy proof Such that it allows you to bound the number of parallel processors used at all time to log n and Just I mean there are The log n is a really reasonable See if you take into account that there are two to the 80 atoms in the universe Take log n equal 80. You have 80 processor. It's fine. There exists machine with 80 processor So good and the point is that what was the point of this mess the point is that now we do not have to throw so many tail bounds because we have no adaptivity already in this full subtree, right and You can already see where we have to throw a tail bound. It's here here here and so That's very little with respect when compared to all the old three and now our Parameter get much better and we get proof of size approximately a factor of nine greater than CP 18 which is you know, if you think if you think that this gives you essentially optimal prover complexity and and The incrementality feature almost for free and it seems to be a reasonable price to pay Okay, so let me just give you give you a bit of Conclusion like I like to then conclude with some open problems so what we showed in this talk is the proof of sequential board which is a Synthetically optimal with respect to prove a efficiency. It comes from simple and well understood assumption and it is completely efficient and and simple to implement and I think it's a nice. It's a nice idea and I'm sure I'm sure that this idea will find other applications So then open problems if are of course, can we can we get unique group unique proof? Of course, you can using verifiable delay function. Maybe something simpler. It's good question Well avoid random miracles. This is also always an interesting an interesting question and Find other application of this on-the-fly sampling technique You can you can imagine you can think of this as Some sort of random probing over some data stream whenever you cannot go back to the data And you need to to sample some probing some verifiable way If you if you if you have some ideas how to use this technique, please come talk to me. I'm very interested Okay, this is it. Thank you for your attention Are there any questions So when you mix your technique with the CP 18, I wonder if you lose something in terms of incrementality because So I don't I'm not sure I completely understood how you achieve it But actually if CP 18 is not incremental then and some part of your proof is using CP 18 then no So the point. Yeah, good. That's a very good question. So the point is that Imagine imagine that we are at this point, right? Yeah, the proof the proof will not be increment the CP 18 is not incremental But the point is that if we if we keep going on upon this way Then we have enough time to recompute the old path and to do the the trivial incrementation so that the end proving the end is incremental and So is there a reason why you just always go to the left like this you have this particular structure of the This this comes why we start from the left and not the right or I don't know like alternating or something like that No, this is because of the of the structure of CP of CP 18 It has to go on this specific order, right? So that's that's why And this parameter lambda what's who chooses it and is it It's fixed. It's it's the hardness of the system. So I mean Lambda was just for the sake of the talk. We have a more fine-grained Any other questions So I had a Question so in this construction. You're essentially basing it on on CP 18 Yeah, there's the tree which is basically a power of two So can you have number of iterations amount of work that is not a power of two? I mean you can buy the way. Yes, it works You have just a log a log a log factor by just taking the power of two essentially But yeah, not very satisfactory Okay, thank you. If there are no other questions and let's thank the speaker again


patients have been posted, and then the minutes have been posted to the public house, I guess. Great. So our first and only agenda item is DB-24-55, which was recommended for consent. Well, at least we'll ask, are you okay with staff findings and conditions to have any questions or concerns? Sure, the answer may be in operations at Champlain College. Any comments or questions or concerns of feeling this as a consent item? Is anyone here from the public speaking on this item? So no one is online, Katelyn, but Evan, our alternate has just appeared just in time. Very important. Great. What's the main question? The main question is EP-24-55, which is 3887 Maple Street. I knew that we stopped staffs findings and conditions. Second from Brad. All those in favor? unanimous? Great. Thank you. I was like, am I really gonna drive all the way up?


Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of theaccesotrader.com. Nightly wrap up show. Hope everybody is having a good day. Hopefully everybody had a good trading day. Again, not a lot has changed from the weekend update. We talked about very, very bullish market. The players may be changing from day to day. Speculation money is still very, very obvious. Now that we got all the big major hitters out of the way, the Apples, the Facebooks, the Googles, the Amazons of the world, the Netflix, now we're kind of shifting into like phase two, right? Not the kind of, you know, borrow work from this whole corona craziness, but that's kind of what we are. We're kind of like in phase two of earnings and now we're looking for the next tier. So the Roku's of the world, the beyonds of the world, and the videos of the world. And it's very is quickly being very apparent to it doesn't make a difference of what the day is. We're still more or less getting exactly the same aggression every single day. And matter of fact, this morning you're probably not going to find a more aggressive first half hour of trading, especially in the beta world that you saw this morning. Facebook, Apple, Roku, ZM, I mean, we'll talk about the individual pivots in a second, but with the most amazing part about what we're continuing to see here is, there is no slowdown. Okay, again, we talked about this yesterday during the weekend video. Yeah, you might have days that you're going to have a hiccup, right? There'll be an exhaustion and maybe a buyer strike. But again, the mantra of the tape is continue to take the strong stocks. Higher option order flow is an absolute godsend when you're trying to take advantage of price action. Again, I traded today Facebook, I traded today ZM, but I also traded three or four small cap stocks, all of order flow, literally all of order flow. Solo, right?  Solo, for example, GME, right? Solo GME.  NiO today, right? Off order flow as well. NiO, again, I kind of consider NiO kind of a smaller cap name just because it was like five, six bucks a couple months ago. But again, what we're seeing in this market and what's making this market special here is there's something there for everybody. The common denominator is stop overthinking of what the whole overall economy is doing. Stop overall thinking, making excuses of why the Fed is the reason the market's going high. Whatever the reason is, whatever the reason is, it's irrelevant at this point. Again, take advantage of the price action. Again, we don't know how long this market is going to behave going forward. Again, it could stop tomorrow. We could go back into normalcy, whatever quote unquote the word normalcy is very subjective, but we don't know when it's going to stop. The most important part right now is to continue, try to continue to take advantage of the days that are giving you aces, that are giving you kings, that are giving you queens, the days that we see that there's absolute no value, that you're waking up in the morning and you're saying to yourself, well, the channels are congested, everything is in the middle of the range, everything is close to supply, there's not enough strength to get it over, there's not enough weakness to present fear. See, those are the days that you stop, right? And we talk about those days in nausea because it's so important for traders to understand the difference between a day of trading and a premium day of trading. And we woke up this morning, again, we already knew we were going to be bye-bias, right? We talked about this on the video. We knew there was going to be tremendous value today, especially in continuation names, especially like a name like Apple, Facebook, stuff like that. But the most important part is that this market is giving something for everybody. You have to take advantage of the days that are premium and continue to push. The days that are obviously painful, obviously contracting channels. Again, do the right thing, be an adult and kind of slide to the sidelines. But when you see a premium day and we talked about this morning at Morning Strategy, when you see me talk about, for example, on the Twitter feed Lowe's and Maxim and Home Depot, you know the day's not premium. When you start talking about ZM and Facebook and Tesla and Roku and Netflix and Apple and beyond, that's a premium day. That's when the whole tribe, whether they're going to the upside or going to the downside, that's a whole different story. But when you start seeing beta all attempting to confirm channels, you know there's a high probability that it's going to be not only a premium day in beta land, but it's going to be a premium day in speculation money. And that's exactly what you saw today. Not enough that beta went nuts. You had again, you had names like NKLA going nuts ahead of earnings. You have Beyond running nuts ahead of earnings. You have Roku, big, big bets into ahead of earnings. You saw big bets all over the place today. You saw ZM monster order flow the whole day. Again, this is what speculation money is. This is where people are willing to pay higher prices in a shorter period of time. Again, the options market is going to reflect the bets that they believe where the stock is going to go in such a short term period. And that's where we are right now. So the idea that you can sit there and turn around and say, I'm not going to trade until the market resets. Again, a lot of people have been having that conversation for six months. Again, guys, and I say this till the end of time, nobody cares about our opinions. Nobody. The market will do what it has to do. You have two choices. You either, well, you have several choices. You can either complain, sit it out, or act accordingly to what the market is giving you. And again, right now, probably one of the most, and it continues. This is like the last two years now, continues to be one of the most aggressive markets that I can remember in almost 21 years of trading. And when you see moves, for example, like Microsoft, right? What was the last time you saw an 11-12 point move on Microsoft that had nothing to do with earnings? It's absolutely amazing. It looks like Trump is giving them the blessing to either buy 30% of TikTok or try to buy the whole thing in TikTok. But the moral of the story is, again, when you have the hottest platform, and right now, if you have a teenager or a preteen kid, they'll tell you, TikTok's like the hottest thing out there, when your possibility having to buy the hottest platform on the planet, your stock is going to depreciate. And again, traders are willing to pay higher prices because, again, that's the environment that we're in. Again, just looking at from the macro point of view, again, we talked about this yesterday on the video. The queues just fell a tad short of breaking out. Again, for the queues to kind of sustain the next leg up is going to need to get above that 270 level. And tomorrow, again, I don't want to use the word, I'm a little cautious for tomorrow. The only reason I say that, if you look at the high here was 270, if you look at the high here today was 270. So you can make an argument. Again, not a very persuasive argument because I'm still, even though I'm about to say, is a little sell-side bias, right? Again, in other words, if we open up tomorrow and again get rejected at 270, things are going to roll over. But again, even if that happens, okay, and at least we're at least conscious of this fact, even if that happens, there's so much speculation money, so many setups that have nothing to do with the Nasdaq 100 that it's so important to kind of concentrate and focus on that you can still do very, very well. And at the same time, have a nice orderly bad test because some of these names are incredibly tired. So Q's looking good. Diamond's very, very important close today. It reclaimed. Remember, we were talking about diamonds are trading in a very, very long duration on the weekend video. Again, we finally got across one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, almost a week and a half worth of selling. Got bought today. First close over the 10-day moving average. Again, you could see a slight rotation tomorrow into the Dow Jones stocks compared to the Nasdaq names. But again, there will be something for everybody. Nobody, believe me, I am not calling for a sell by his day tomorrow. It's just something we have to kind of keep an eye on the corner of our eye just to see what happens if the Q's do indeed do a triple top off that 270 level. But again, very, very bullish close today on the diamonds. And if you look at the SPY, again, we covered this on the video. Again, finally broke out of this channel. The only reason why it stopped, it hit the upper Bollinger Band today. And if you look back at the Q's from Friday, that's exactly the only reason the Q stopped going up on Friday just because we hit demand. Excuse me, supply. So if we reclaim, you know, 329.7, 330 on the SPYs is going to start the next leg up. So today, I'm telling you, one of the more aggressive opens I can remember. Again, we were all biased on beta today to the upside. Literally, I think I put in, I think every single beta pivot, like literally every single beta pivot, and it absolutely exploded. The only one that didn't confirm was Tesla. I was looking for a downside pivot and never came, which is a good thing in a weird way. That's a good thing because, again, there is a lot of speculation money flow. If you look at the options market on Tesla today, you started seeing the weekly 16.05s, 16.10 calls. And that is speculation that, again, it will be added to the S&P 500 at some point. Again, these guys are betting it's going to come at the end of the week. Again, we don't know. This is all speculation. This is all hearsay. This is what, you know, the headlines are being driven in the last week or so. So traders are making bets accordingly ahead of this. But everything else went absolutely nuts. Zoom was great. Zoom, 258 sneaky area, 260 macro needs to build. I traded this thing. It was great. Really, really big move. So here was the 258. Let me show you guys all the areas. So here was the 258, right? Here's the sneaky pivot. Again, most people don't know what a sneaky pivot is. But here's where the sneaky pivot is. 258. Here was the macro, right? Here was the macro at 260. It was the high from July the 29th. It took both of them out. Just absolutely exploded. Went to 271. Huge move. Absolutely huge move. Facebook was awesome. There was two ways to trade Facebook today. Either a 251 dip, and that's exactly what it did. Trade the 251 or red to green. We'll get to that in a second. I traded red to green. I quoted for like a dollar and change very, very aggressively. 251 dip for experienced traders. Again, this is where we talk about the 251 rising 60-minute support, right? Here's the rising 60-minute support of 251. It took that out just when green almost took out Friday's size. I mean, really, really good trade on Facebook. Tesla obviously, again, never confirmed. Roku Monster, again, they're coming ahead of earnings for the 165, 170, 175, 180 calls. They're very bullish on Roku. 159 needs to build. Rejected there's July the 21st. Here was Roku, right? Here was Roku. Here was the 59. Just absolutely exploded. Went to like 63 and changed. A big, big move on Roku. You can see beta was ridiculously strong today. 495 Netflix needs to build. Again, the big macro number was 501. That's where it got rejected to supply two weeks ago. Not only did it take out the 495, took out the 501, you started seeing 505, 510, 520, 525, excuse me, not 525, but 505, 510, 520 near-term call buyers coming in on Netflix. Huge move, right? So here is the 495, right? Here is the 495, here is the 501, and the stock went all the way up to 503. I still like this thing for tomorrow. Looks really, really good. Apple was definitely by far the move of the day. Apple 433, 20, 433, 50 needs to build. Again, experienced traders only. The first move I thought was only going to get the 437. Yeah, Apple said hold my beer. Here's Apple. Here's the 433, 20, right? I thought it was going to get to here, okay? Once in a while it goes through supply. Well, this was the day. So it takes out the 433, 20, 50 area and it goes all the way to 444 in one candle. Just an absolute, even if you screwed up and sold it in the 37s, you still got four points out of it. Just a big, big move there as well. Beyond the head of earnings, they do report tomorrow. 128, 128, 50 needs to build. Again, you can get the impression. These things are just on fire today. Here's the 28, right? Here's the 28, 50, just explosion with the 34. Big moves here. Nvidia went nuts. Absolutely nuts. Facebook blah, blah, blah. Experience, right degree. Yeah, so here is the video. Just bananas. Absolutely bananas. 431, sneaky pivot, 432 macro needs to build. The video reports, I think the week after. I could be wrong. But here is the 431, 432 area. Just when nuts went all the way up to 444. Huge, huge moves here. Just monster moves. Just huge moves everywhere. One by one by one. All right, then I traded NIO. Then I traded NIO. $13 rejected twice needs to build. NIO had call buyers all the way today. The 14s, the 15s, even so the 20s, closed relatively at the high of the day. Netflix take on the way up. Netflix is a monster. New highs. Tesla repeat. Again, this is kind of my point. Tesla repeat buyers of the 1605, 1610 bets. Again, they are betting or at least speculating that it will go into the S&P 500. Tomorrow you have Beyond Reporting, NKLA reporting. I think Space reported this evening. I haven't a chance to look at it yet. You have Roku coming up next week. You have NVIDIA coming up. So the monster, I mean the monster, the market looks great. I mean, look, can you get a pullback? Maybe a little bit of a pullback tomorrow. Apple did have a big, big move up, right? Two-day big move up. Looks a little tired. I'll watch it tomorrow on the gap and trap. If they gap up the market and trap late longs, you could get a nice little reversal just for a trade. Again, nobody's talking about this. Apple's going to go back down to 400. We're just talking about an opening range, 60-minute channel to the downside, just because of a little bit of profit taking. Nothing more. Facebook, I still think it might rest one more day. I do believe Facebook will have another run towards the end of the week. Testing Friday's highs as well. Overall, just great market action. I hope everybody's doing well. Again, the most important part, especially if you are a new trader, again, you don't need to know everything at once. You don't need to figure everything out at once. Every single day that goes by, you're going to learn something new.  And again, don't put that pressure on yourself. It will click. I promise. It will click. The greatest teacher possible that you can have is time. Time makes everything better. Guys, God bless. Have a great night. I'll see you all tomorrow.

That's right, you write the title correctly, it has been one full year since the original release of Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, a game that changed my channel completely. So I decided to celebrate the game being out for that long, I was going to take a few of the decks that I made over the course of this first year and put it into one video. So I figured the best way to celebrate one year of Master Duel being out is to go through each and every one of the decks that I've made a video on from the time when this game released and do it all in one video. Will we be able to make it out of bronze using a random assortment of decks over the year? Ah, I hope so. Oh, a fellow that enjoys the nice, simple things in life. First of all, I'm winning this game, oh my god. This game is actually over and I got Dangerous Machine Type 6 for the fun factor and Lucky Pun- this duel's over. This duel is so over, you're done. You're actually just done. First of all, I think I might just Gambler of Legend get him to discard a card. Am I really that guy? Am I really so lucky that I'll just naturally get two heads? Watch this. Oh, I'm going to second coin toss that. Second coin toss, easy peasy, two heads coming up and that's what I'm talking about. Don't ever in your life say that you're better than me. Give me that fusion substitute.  During each of my standby phases, I'll roll a six-sided dice. For each dice rolled, I'll get a different effect. Also if you couldn't tell by now and didn't already know, my luck deck is basically a deck that's only built around luck. There is no cards in this deck that don't rely on raw luck except skill drain.   You got to love the thrill of the hunt. You got to love the coin toss, the dice roll. You got to love it all. And I don't, I don't know if this guy wants to play against it. Wait a minute, he's back with Cyber Dark Claw. He's good. He knows everything about sitting two-faced down. Battle phase. Here's the thing, but you're actually giving me my trap card Lucky Punch. If you don't know what Lucky Punch does, once per turn when an opponent's monster clears an attack, I can toss three coins. If all are three heads, I get to draw three cards. If it's three tails, destroy this card and take 6,000 damage. So basically there's no way this goes wrong for me. Give me my three heads. I want my three heads right now. Coming up. Oh, but come on. That could have been amazing. Just give it to me again. Just give it to me again. It's worth the risk. Give it to me again. Oh, okay. Just take my monster.  And now dangerous machine type six will activate after my draw face. I believe it's time to let the good times roll. Machine type six spit out a dice after he's done loading. There he goes. Here he goes. Five. What's five to destroy one monster? Oh, you're messed with the wrong machine. And now I'll set one card face down and in my turn. It wasn't a very exciting turn, but it was a very important turn to me. Now, let me roll a six and win this duel. That's all I want to do. Playing a little defensive. Are we OK? I can respect it. I can respect it. Sadly, I won't be aiming for your life points in that way, but it is what it is with the turn change. I draw once more for Sasuke samurai number four. I didn't I didn't know I was going to draw. I didn't know I was going to rhyme until I drew him. That was not it's actually embarrassing. I feel like people are going to think I meant. I didn't mean to rhyme. Dangerous machine type six. Give us a number. Give me a three. I really want to draw another card. I really want the hand advantage. Give me a three. Wavaku bro is just playing playing. Five. Oh, well, I guess that wasn't really battle. Cyber pharaohs. Well, bro did not want to lose his monster. Anyway, it's time to play some dice jar. A competitive dice game where if I roll three, that's not good. That's not good. That's not good. Oh, take 1500 damage then. Let's go. Sasuke samurai. We out here, but I can't do any battle damage, but I'm just going to attack just to let him know I could have if he didn't activate wobble there. Now he knows I'm serious. Every now and then I like to show my commitment. Cyber dragon. Ain't no way he thinks he's not going to get lucky punch right now. You're really risking me drawing three. Oh, I didn't activate it. Damn it. Well, that was my bad. Another turn is coming my way. And now we've got misjudge and also dangerous machine type six. Please give us another five. Spit out one more five. Actually, give me a two. I kind of want a two right now. Give me a two. I'm kind of feeling a nice two. I want him to discard a card. Six. Oh, there he goes. You didn't really feel like sticking around that time. I think here the safest options just to go with misjudge gives us a negate on the board. Also just gives us, you know, the raw 1800 beat stick that we need. Sasuke Samurai doesn't even have to go to work today. He gets to just chill. Are we really going to get a win with the luck deck right away? Did we just look into the perfect opponent? I still don't know what he's playing. Some sort of interesting cyber. He's definitely playing cyber dragons, but I'm not really sure where the build is going. You know, I'm just not really sure what the vision is. Cyber repair plan. Oh, actually, wait a second. Wait a second. Misjudge, please show this man the door. If you didn't know with misjudge, every time the effect activates, if I get two heads, I negate it. Oh, second coin toss. If I get two heads, I negate that effect. Damn. Oh, all right, you can go ahead and have that one. Misjudge didn't find any reason to give that one a no. That only works on the first effect of the turn, though. He's got another cyber dragon in his hands. We could be looking at a big, my God, cyber rev system. It cannot be destroyed by card effects. That's pretty, I mean, that's pretty good. He gets one out of his graveyard that can't be destroyed by card effects, but it only has 1500 attack anyway. He's playing polarization. He just did it to get it out of the graveyard. Bye. God, what am I about to see on the field? Did he just use his entire hand? Uh-oh. Timeritech rampage dragon. Don't destroy Lucky Punch, bro.  Don't do that. Dude, don't do that. You don't even want to do that. Really, you don't want to do that. You want to do it through attack damage.  You love doing attack damage. And I think that's actually like very cool of you, man. Like, I think that's so cool. See, second coin toss, I'm fine. Take second coin toss. I don't need that. And you know what? I think second coin toss is kind of cheating anyway. So no, no, no, no, please, please, please, man. Don't do it, please. Take it back, please. You've got to take it back, man, please. Wait, is he? What's that? Bro, do you even understand? There's no point in other effects if you kill Lucky Punch, the duel's over. You can't do that. If this face of card on the field destroyed, I lose 6,000 life points, man. It's not a good card, man. You've got to take it back. Well, Sengen's doing his dance of defeat once again. What if I just use a Jinzo? You know, we haven't used Jinzo in so long. What if I just go back to the old... Wait, what? Oh, I broke down cards in here. Which card did I break down? Up a bit. Wait, am I going... Wait, what? Am I going up against the luck deck? Please give me tails. Oh, never mind. What's... Oh, he's, he's, he's dying. Well, goodbye. Yeah, I'll take that. Give me that. My prismatic Jinzo. Oh, what a beauty of a card I've got here. Look at this guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was very lucky with this Jinzo deck. Yep. Okay, okay. My opponent sets one face down. I can't lie. It's a play. It's a play for sure. All right. Well, I have no idea what he's going for here, but that is absolutely fine as I'm going to draw Jinzo Jector. It's actually been so long. I forgot what Jinzo Jector even does. He doesn't do too much, but I can use Allure of Darkness for the sweet draw. Look at this. Damn, I'm just getting card draw out here. Allure of Darkness. Give me that. Bro is just trying to end it. He's trying to end it. He's lucky. I didn't have a Jinzo out there. He wouldn't be able to. You just lost the duel. And he wanted to do that, but now you just really lost the duel. With his face of trap card, I'm able to special summon Jinzo the Machine Menace in attack mode. And then normally I would do a lot more, but let's be honest. This guy wants to die, so let's just end it. And now we're out of B5 and into B4. I'm going to be honest, though. I don't think that counts for Jinzo's duel. We're doing another one. Not a bad hand. I'm going to be honest. Not a terrible hand. We do have Psychic Megacyber, which is one of my favorite cards in the entire deck. It's just so cool the way this card works. We're able to special summon if they have more spells and traps than we do. And when we attack and we control Jinzo, we can tribute that card and make them go into the spell and trap zone as a trap card. It's really, really good. That being said, will our opponent actually play the game? I do have Maxi. I kind of hope they start by... Ooh. Okay, okay, okay, okay. But hold on, because if you do any other moves for this entire turn, I'm going plus. So go ahead, do stuff. Go crazy.  Okay, you added Elemental Hero Honest Nios, okay. Here comes my special summon. Tell him to bring me my money. I want my draw. Give me my draw. I want one card. Oh, brother. I think I lost the game.  Hey, what card did I just draw? Oh, Jinzo. Oh, I was not hoping to draw another Jinzo. I'm going to be very honest. I was hoping not to draw another Jinzo, but here I go, draw another Jinzo again. What I need right now is to draw Instant Feud. What? I didn't even do none. Psychic Bounder is literally just here for a good time. Wait, what? Oh, do you think I'll fall for this?  I'm going to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime deal. You can set one trap card. Go ahead, set one trap card from your deck, and if you do, I'm going to special summon Jinzo, but don't even worry about that. Don't, literally, don't worry about that. Go ahead, I need you to go ahead and set a trap card. He's reading. Oh, brother, he actually reads. Oh, yes, yes. Yeah, baby, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I've been waiting for. That's what it's all about. Jinzo hits the field, and I only have, like, two things. But also, because I also got Feed Mega Cyber, and then, and then not even just that, but not even just that, look at this. Hold on, did he already use his effect? I'm really trying to decide what I'm trying to do here for real, because I think I might lock him up. Ha ha. Do I just lock him up? Does he get another effect? Hold on. Oh, baby, tell him to bring me my money. Psychic Mega Cyber, lock him up as the continuous trap card that he is. Hey, how does it feel knowing your meta cards locked up as a trap card, buddy? Must not feel very good. Jinzo, get him. And now he can't use trap cards. Bro, misplayed so hard. Also, that's a lot of face-up trap cards you got there. So I'll also be special something Jinzo the machine menace in attack mode. Yeah, yeah, you made one crucial misplay. You forgot to read my card. It was optional. It was a fake deal. You should have never taken it. Oh, and also Cyber Energy Shock. If I destroy a trap card, I get to negate the effect of one face-up card on the field. So even if, even if he tries something cute, something cute, see something funny, I'm negating that. And I'm not gonna do it by popping destiny hero. He can stay there. What's this? What you got here? Pretty good turn, pretty good turn. Not gonna lie. Now that being said, no. Wait, what does the machine do? Oh, no, that's just, so listen. So listen, I'm gonna go ahead and remember that card I let you set? I'm gonna go ahead and destroy that. And was that a trap card by chance? You wouldn't have happened to set a trap card when I asked you if you'd like to set a trap card. Ooh, because now you don't get any funny effects. Nope, you just don't. Nope, it doesn't happen. Not gonna happen. You just ran into Jinzo, buddy. You just ran into Jinzo. Oh, look, oh, and there he goes. There we go. He didn't read the Jinzo cards. He's gotta pay the price. Jinzo, that's the kind of duel I wanted from him. We're going on to the next deck. So I think this next one is actually a little nostalgic even for me because the first deck I ever made was, was tunes. I wanted to make a tune deck and this deck is not very good anyway for me, but I like the cartoon cards. So I'm gonna go ahead and play my tune deck, the original.  Whoa, that was pretty cool. Hey, how come saying again doesn't do that? I really want Caribo so bad. If I could get that Caribo made, I would be so happy. Tune table of contents. All right, I have a question. I haven't played this deck in a long time. If I use Pot of Extravagance, do I not get to use tune table of contents because this doesn't technically count as drawing cards, right? This would just be adding cards. I'm gonna go ahead and say that's exactly how it works and I'm not gonna ask any other question. Damn, bro played every card in his hand. All right, turn change my turn. I draw. Well, I love to see tune kingdom, baby. You know I love that. You know I love when tune kingdom hops in. Anyway, I'll go ahead and activate Pot of Extravagance.  Give me this Pot of Extravagance, six cards banished face down. Give me two cards, okay, bad draw. Then I'll activate tune table of contents. This card allows me to add any tune deck card for my deck to my hand. I'll use it to draw tune table of contents. Oh, perfect. I'll activate tune table of contents. This card allows me to draw any tune card for my deck to my hand. I'll grab tune table of contents. I'll then activate tune table of contents. This card allows me to take any tune card for my deck to my hand. And I'll use it to grab tune bookmark. I'll activate tune bookmark. This card allows me to add any tune card for my deck to my hand. I'll use it to grab comic hand. The very funny spell card that lets me turn your monsters into cartoon. Then I'll activate tune kingdom, Vanishing Three from the top. And then I'll also activate first, I'll special summon Toon Mermaid in face-up attack mode. Then I'll special summon Toon Harpy Lady and summon her in face-up attack mode, allowing me to destroy a car. I'll do this one. Stamping destruct. What are you playing? Then I'll activate Toon Page Flip. And you can choose between this one, this one, or this one.  Give me, what Toon card are we hoping he gives me? Honestly, I'll take any. I really will take any. I'm not picky. I don't see myself as a picky guy. Oh the strongest card in the whole game I'll take that I'll take that the strongest card in my whole deck, and I don't know what he's running So I'm just gonna banish the card he has face down. Oh That seems pretty pretty important anyway, I can't attack first turn so I'll just end it tune. That's a that's a common tune effect I don't know what's happening. Who is Lucius the shadow that's I've never seen that card. All right. I'm gonna be honest I don't know what my opponents play. Oh Toon dark magician I think this would be funny. Yeah, sure. Why would I not do it? I'm gonna get rid of toon mermaid and toon harpy lady to bring out toon dark magician And I'll activate his effect to special summon another toon or I could just that I'm just gonna add a spell card That's that's crazy. I'm just gonna discard that for toon bookmark and recycle. Why would I why would I not do this? I need more toon bookmark protection just in case there now We've got to toon kingdoms and a lot of backup and I'll just attack toon black luster soldier direct attack Does he have a response to this? No shot. He actually has something. What is this? What? What that was the perfect card for this, huh? But I can't attack directly if they control a toon. That was actually the perfect card for this what? What I'm actually stunned bro is the pharaoh bro is yugi in the flesh. Oh brother I fell right into his trap. I fell right into his devious scheme. Oh Luster dragon what What is he playing? How did he get around my toon card perfectly? I have to save kamekane because I'm gonna need to be able to grab my toon bag Well, actually, I'm just gonna special summon a toon. I think I'm gonna ditch black luster soldier to special summon black luster soldier Okay, that was fine. That was fine. We had the owl. It was never a question I just got really scared because honestly, I was impressed. That was a great card to go up against toon decks That was actually insane, but still we're gonna get out of there with a big win and now we're in bronze tier Oh, they know we're in bronze here's too. I thought we were gonna make it out of silver I know exactly what deck we're using next. It's time to summon gandora. Whoa A little ghost strike avatar. Do I go second or first here? I'm going first I'll go first because I think maybe we have a better chance of setting up stuff for gandora that way We go third turn we get the instant third turn KL. I mean, you know, we call it a day there. Okay, okay This is almost exactly what I was hoping for. There's almost exactly what I was hoping for I'm sorry. I thought I was going first. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'm gonna use gizmek Did I not pick going first? Did I just horribly mess that up? I have no idea. I think I might have just horribly messed that up He's playing time thieves. All right, so he plays that card and sets two face down nothing too crazy for me We also do get a lure of darkness. That is huge first things first though. I am going to I'm gonna foolish burial something here.  Is that crazy? Maybe but then I'm going to lure of darkness This is huge for me a lure of darkness. Give me two we get gandora. Oh, that's that's crazy that we just got gandora I'm gonna go ahead and banish eater of millions though. I want eater of millions out of here. Then I'm going to This is all very very different. This is very different I'm gonna summon eater of millions by getting rid of every single card in my extra deck Every single card needs to leave my extra deck every single card get out of here. I want to play eater of millions Boom, then I'm gonna activate a bit of soul release. This is this is kind of crazy.  Boom. He's gone. Boom. Now we gizmoch a direct attack We might not even see gandora rare gandora duel where we don't even see gandora the dragon of destruction Luna light what who did I hit? What are we playing? Oh, this is just a straight luna light deck what? Oh, brother. We're gonna lose. Oh, brother. We're gonna lose Okay, setting up his old pendulum scales here I think gandora might actually be the best way out of this if we're able to keep enough monsters on the field to make gandora realistic We might need his effect to get past all of these cards. It's got to be that or grandma utopia Does he have double or nothing? Who's he going for? That's a that's a big mistake. I That's a big mistake. He doesn't know what eater.  Wait, is this exact lethal? No, wait No, well, I don't have lethal anyway. So go ahead take your free thousand life points Well, unfortunately, you're gonna be getting 2000 life points. All of a sudden this seems like a worse deal for me Oh trade in okay. I'll trade in gandora. I thought gandora was the key But I'll trade him in you see what I can get here another gandora, huh? I don't like I don't like him having those cards in his graveyard. I'm gonna get rid of those All right, get rid of every card in your graveyard, buddy. Bye. Bye. Very very cool. I like that. Oh, what? Oh, all right. Now we just you know, we just attack and we gave him a lot of life points That's fine. We didn't have lethal anyway. We just have to hope that uh, I don't know actually I guess we have to hope he runs into eater of millions again. I I really don't know I really don't know what we're hoping for Brother we might have made a mistake. He's got raiders night on board Damn Road took everything from eater of millions. He left eater of millions with nothing. Oh, I banished two of my grand maju's Wait, is that three grand maju's one? Oh, we don't have any grand maju's left. We have no grand maju's left. It's over. It's over Ow three k y I'm coming right back. I'm coming right back. Don't you forget it Yeah, you thought you saw the last of old gizmek. I'm right back. I was that a misplay probably yep I'm out of gandora's eight. Yep. And yep. It's over. Yep. I have no gandora's left All right I'm going to do something crazy and maybe this might be my only shot But I'm going to tribute eater of millions and gizmek to summon gandora the dragon of destruction I just only hope I have enough attack points to win the duel Well, uh, he didn't get destroyed. Haha.  Ha ha I wonder if I could have just attacked with eater of millions and one I really don't know. I uh Damn it. All right. Well, I'm going to my neosteck. This is by far the best if we're just talking on win rate This is the best deck I've ever built on master duel just because It's actually capable of keeping up with other competitive decks. Every other deck is mostly just a big joke But this this deck can actually win in some good situation Oh This is a risky hand. Okay. I'm going to go ahead and play neo space connector to activate his effect. Hopefully this doesn't get negated Well, okay. Well, this is equally as bad. Actually wait I'm gonna get me some free life points out of this. Hmm. I think it's best to go for it Anyway, quite honestly, I think it's best let him have his fun Let him have his fun But we've got to get preta playing out here and we've got to do one more after this So we can he can take his two draws honestly neos fusion goes to the graveyard This is gonna let us summon brave neos and again, you always want to ditch turtle You want to ditch turtle and you want to ditch one neos in your deck that way you get brave hero You can actually bring him out like this now. I wish I wish we could go ahead and use favorite hero But sadly we can't go to the battle phase on turn one. So it's not even worth doing What why did what I'm not sure why he just negated preta plant But I maybe there's something I'm missing small world.  This is insane What wait? He's actually just playing math math max. I thought he was just gonna be summoning a Honestly, I thought he was just going into access code talker. So this is this is impressive to me That sure is a lot of monsters. I'm looking at Oh splash mage moment, please Oh Here we go. Well, I was uh, there's access code talker now again Even with this it's not really too bad for us because he can't go to the battle phase He can he just won't get to do anything there. He's going to destroy one card. I control Hopefully he targets brave neos targeting brave neos would be the misplay here Then we get neos fusion neos fusion rejects that that's the misplay. We were hoping he would do that Okay, now my opponent seems stunned. He's not he I think he's reading neos If you bro picked up the card and said no wait, hold on. Let me read that Bro acted like we're playing a real life. Okay. Oh, no, he saw turtle. He saw turtle. Oh, wait, what? Well, I didn't I've never seen that invasion. Wait, he didn't see turtle Okay, he really wanted neos gone, but I don't think that was what was standing in his way Okay, now he's going after anaconda, which is okay I mean I wanted anaconda live that was the big out But I don't know I think I would have just banished turtle if I was him turtle just ends his whole battle phase Does he have an answer to that?  I think I'm beat here. I think I'm very much beat here Actually, first I'll go to the battle phase Then I'll go to main phase two, but before that I'll go ahead and play evenly matched I forgot I take this card in now banish cards until you control the same amount as us.  Oh brother. Oh, brother I can't get bro as in out to everything I've ever said Damn He even got the only monster I was gonna play for defense. Uh, you got it. I mean at that point you got it at that point I you know I just at that point. I just couldn't do it compete and bro's taking his victory lap, too He won't even just finish me. He's got to take his victory lap every card in his deck had value every card countered every card That was crazy bro tapped into every every dueling method. He could possibly envision. He tapped into it all He's good. I got to give it up. He's good He knows everything about coming all of my cards. He can read too Who it what who is this evil guy? Who is lingerie bow? I've never seen this one. What is this bro is mean looking. Well, I mean, that's all I got. That's all I got for real Oh Good. Well, that's gonna be it for this video We've gone through most of the decks we have and uh, we couldn't make it out of bronze But I believe that we could have if I had a little more time, but I don't have any time Hopefully you enjoyed the video, which is a walk down memory lane. It was a lot of fun with that said Thank you once again to rastadule for sponsoring this video and for making a really fun game I really do love you. Yeo, so I couldn't have asked for a better way to play it at home But that's gonna be all for me If you enjoyed the video hit it like button and check out some of the other videos that should be on your screen right Now I have been doubted away and I will see you in the next one
