Joseph is a freaky little guy who sits in the park moving plants around in arcane strange ways but if you go up and ask him what he’s doing he’ll tell you he’s borrowing the dandelions and twigs from one table over
@@dearickangelonej.legaspi6686 It’s hard to brick when 70% of your cards are starters and 30% the rest are non engine. Even good decks need to play 1-2 bricks, but with 60, you’re less likely to see them.
He also said "consistently" People have tops here and there but she went to worlds day 2 which is way more consistent wins than anyone else on plant innit
@@hannahtcg1080 Jess helped innovate the deck Marcus placed with. She then won the same WCQ the next year and placed for the World Championship in Top8 the same Year. I'd say that's more notable than who placed first, alongside the fact that Jess has represented the deck three more times than Marcus from the listings I've been giving a look over.
credit where it's due, quite a few others have labbed the deck with the new support, Moelancholy on youtube has a few combos guides and deckbuilding discussions for example
I have been pet decking aroma, and plants at large since getting back into the game around 2017-2018. Something about the art, playstyle and variations of the deck have always been fun to test, and while I won't lie and say it's a sleeper deck or it's secretly rogue, I will say there are some really interesting things that you can do with aromas depending on the kind of nonengine you use
I think both Rikka and Aroma are cool archetypes, but I wish they could stand on their own, rather than always ending up as part of a giant plant pile. I feel like the knowledge they'll all be mixed together holds back what they're willing to give each archetype.
I don't mind it too much as they do work well with each and im a sucker for their artworks. The idea of the two archetypes coming together would make for some cool fanart. But i see your point. Sometimes it's nice to be able to just play an Archetype pure. With Aroma's new support they definitely have more of a chance. I think eventually both of them will be able to stand on their own. They just need a bit more. But until then i see it as the two decks supporting each other.
You can run a pure aroma deck but its a lot more fragile than running the whole plant pile. If you just want to have some fun you can do it and if you want run it as pure as it can get but remain somewhat competitive you can run just the sunseed engine to turbo 2 jasmines and end in the synchro, the fusion, marjoram and the rosemary link turn 1. I personally dont mind rikkas since they are also a cute girls archetype but i get where you are coming from, i would rather play one archetype than play plant engine dot deck.
It’s the opposite actually, the combination with other decks gives them much more of a ceiling than before. Sunseed can climb through links easily, but struggle to put up a strong board presence or break boards, which is fixed by Rikka, Rikka has strong board breaking, grind game, and varied removal, but struggles with reaching its ceiling consistently, which is fixed by Sunseed and Aroma, and Aroma creates a good board, but doesn’t have the varied points of interaction you would have with the mix. The cards all play nice with each other and let each other reach their full potential. All the cards can reach their ceilings because the other plants support them. And I feel this knowledge lets them print cards that work well on this system rather than their own archetypes. After all, why shouldn’t the plants work together? It’s a garden after all
Hey! I love the Aroma deck, one of my favorite Decks! Play it all the time, love to see this list; way diffrent than what I do with some main deck haha
I can't believe how well the 60 card pile managed to look. More and more interested in building Rikka in MD. Good thing I have 3 Lily Borea and 3 Lonefire Blossom.
it was fun, played rikka few months ago (before snake eyes) and i enjoyed it, dropped the deck though because for the more harder comboes i needed to look up guides and i just wasnt able to remember combos:D
I like Rikka but really advise against it in Master Duel simply because they have virtually no way to get quick disruption under Maxx C. Maxx C is such a toxic and polarizing card that maining a deck that inherently loses to it is just insanely frustrating.
Yes, this is one of the most difficult decks to play in the game The sheer number of different combo lines to play optimally has to be in the thousands (including all possible variations of drawing different cards leading to a different combo to play through more handtraps or end on a better board), which makes the deck humanly impossible to master
So there's a fan-made format called One Attribute, One Type which is basically what it says. They obviously have a Heart of the Underdog style additional banlist, but anyway, Dark Plants are hilariously good there because of the new Aromas. Obviously Dark Winged Beasts are the best, but Dark Plants are pretty damn good and Light Spellcaster surprisingly is also good. I just enjoy seeing Aromas be good.
Holy....This is actually amazing. The ability to play through nearly everything is next level, though I can see that it takes a good pilot. Time to get my fiance to pick this deck back up before Jasmine gets limited (rightly so tbh)
why rightly so? like MBT said, Sunseed Jess is the only player seeing consistent results with the deck, and a combo deck that sets up lots of interupts is nothing new
@@user-wx6ms9rv2m because it's not a hard once per and it's an extra deck monster so you always have access to multiple copies. Just because a card isn't currently seeing play at the top tables doesn't mean it's not poorly designed.
@@imnotacat5299 Raidraptor force strix is an extra deck monster that you can access multiple copies of and has a soft once per turn search. I suppose force strix is badly designed too. Except nobody wants force strix limited, so why would jasmine get limited?
@@user-wx6ms9rv2m because you can't recycle it from the grave multiple times to keep getting the same effect, and it only counts as 1 for a link; where as you can use 2 Jasmine to get a double search, go inro Bengh, and then use those same 2 Jasmine to bring back Bengh from GY. And Force Strix has to search a Level 4 Dark WB, way more specific than literally any Plant monster. And Force Strix can't chain block another Force Strix. And Force Strix has 1 effect while Jasmine has 3. A Link 2 monster is substantially different from an XYZ because of how link climbing works, but also Force Strix is not even close to being able to do what Jasmine does.
I wonder how many decks like plants there are out there that are this good but just so unreasonably hard to pilot consistently that they'll never have meta share. We're lucky we have Jess.
we really just reaching the point where every deck is payed as 60 cards. at one point only dragons had enough good cards that you couldn't fit them into 40. like we're not even trying to mill cards, it probably wouldn't even be good, we simply have to many cards that are worth playing
@@user-wx6ms9rv2m yeah but at one time upstart was to good at 3 and now you wouldn't even think about playing 37 card decks. we are tending in that direction
I just ordered a whole package of Aroma cards two days ago because i bought some packs of PHNI and didnt know that Aroma support is in there xD So i got rlly nostalgic because I loved that archetype in Duel Links back then
Umm you know, sunavalon is still unhit in MD, so you can either play sunavalon therion or sunavalon rikka at full combo without any banlist limitations unlike the tcg format
I WAS planning on burning all my Plant cards in master duel but knew there were new cards, I just waited for the TMT and Jess vids so that I can see what the new combos were
A lot of things 'can' beat snake eye. The question is, what percentage of duels over time will they beat snake eye? I've won vs snake eye with runick bystial and heroes as well... Keep in mind he plays more matches than what he shows here most likely.
An iteration of this deck has been terrorizing my locals ever since aromas came out, and initial rikkavalons ever since princess and konkon came out. With the current build I can only pray to draw droll or imperm on dryas and hope its enough that they don't pseudo ftk me
I wonder how pure I can play Aroma. I built them pure in master duel but without the brand new wave of custom card tier support they're just not good. At the same time though, I don't wanna spend half an hour cycling a sunseed or devote 20 slots to handtraps
In all honesty, they used to be hilariously strong before the Zexal era Turns out having a deck that can go into any of the signer dragons on command on any turn with horrifying consistency was good enough to beat meta back then. Kinda an expensive deck to make though, and hilariously time-consuming to play if you wanted the slightly better Luna Spore skill considering her unlock condition
I’m happy Aroma got a little bit of support. But I would strongly like to see darkLord support like maybe a link 1 or link 3 monster and 2 new fusion darklords, and for them to get a fusion spell card
The deck isn't worth bringing to a YCS. Not because it isn't good -because it is-, but because every round you'll need to explain what a card does at least 27 times, and you'll lose your mind well before the finals.
@@user-wx6ms9rv2m depends on the setup, but negating the hard opt summon effect and forcing them to tribute a monster as cost for no value is still often the biggest chokepoint. If you know they have gas there’s an argument otherwise (especially now that dryas is at 1), but it’s still usually the safest chokepoint.
Pure aroma just puts out such weak interactions going 1st and its card economy is so insanely bad without the reinforcing of rikka grind + loci combos that it just. doesnt get there, sadly
