Best Tech Cards going into the next Format 

Woa, the chapters makes this so much better

Ogre on Nightmare Pain is SO strong

2 you didn't mention that can be good for decks that can run them are Gamma and Herald of Orange Light since they can counter Shifter and are basically the only option to do so when going second if your opponent drops it on their turn

Some madlad hit me with cursed seal of the forbidden spell and locked me out of nightmare pain for the whole duel. I wasn't even mad.

I adore Metaltronus. It's just tricky to value in a format because it's not just about what you can negate with it, but the quality of the body you bring out. Metaltronus is amazing when a meta endboard piece matches Atk/type/attribute with anything with a powerful gy effect or is easy material for a strong ED monster.

1 counter point on Ghost Mourner is that there are 2 scenarios where the card is a must main. First, if your tournament has a ton of Shifter decks (like mine often does) then it's much better than Veiler. The second, if you are playing Gimkick Puppets (or another burn deck) then Mourner becomes one of the best handtraps your deck could run, serving as both non engine and a pseudo engine piece.

Going second with minimal hand traps and loaded up on board breakers is more fun

Josh how did you look more German with shorter hair No, I won't elaborate

Clean cut Josh will be a great format!

RB doesn't care about Ogre at all, we're either under Shifter or protect with Lara. And while we're at it, we can also use Book of Eclipse as a defensive tool to protect from Nibiru, since we can still Contact Fuse with face-down monsters.

I actually think Superpoly is very nice into the yubel board since you can hit desirae with either varudras or soul of rage into dragostapelia which can force out phantom…

In testings, I found that with new Mermail Atlantean handles pretty good going 2nd against Yubel. Combined with non-engine board breakers, makes the deck a lot more oppressive since Mermail Atlantean already has a good amount of in-archetype boardbreakers already.

Rare Ultimate Slayer W

Nib gats a lot stronger once the new Mulcharmy comes out cus you can draw into it if your opponent decides to take the challenge

You forgot spooky

Loving the pan in the background

So Bystials are good, you want to run multiple handtraps, survive shifter, play around Nib...Centur-ion best deck!

Thrust working against shifter and mulcharmys going first feels worth mentioning, supplementing the worse end board with a trap can make up for the stuff you miss

Spooky dogwood is peak

Thanks for sharing your insights.

A masterduel list would be cool

Ultimate slayer honestly in theory is fantastic if you can play it. Against yubel no matter what happens they will find a way to summon phantom of yubel even through 2-3 handtraps, so if you can manage to handtrap them once or twice and make the end board weaker, its fantastic at breaking the half boards. Has the benefit of not being once per turn either.

forgot to mention dominus purge and might as well do dominus impulse too at this point too since its gonna be out in 3 weeks

I play a Mix with Handtraps and Boardbreaker

were is retaliating C the best meme tech card vs snake eyes and in master duel it seaches maxx c

Thoughts on Vesper Girsu? Outside of potentially making you lose in time, it seems like a decent one to main deck, and it's super affordable.

With shifter being so prevalent, how do people feel about lancea?

highly appreciated 🙏

i summon sphere mode on my opps turn with EMPEN

I main Eclipse and Daruma in my Deck. If you know how long you can hold it until you have to activate it, it can stop the entire opponents turn on their own. A lot of times they either think its an imperm and therefore would just play through it or you hold it so long they think its a bluff and completely lose to it. I even main daruma because if you deck is good enough at grinding the card basically resets OPTs lol.

i'd love to know your opinion on book of moon as a breaker/disruption

Man, I remember when I came back to the game in 2018 and the promise was that you open one handtrap and you're going to be fine most of the time. What the fuck happened that literally 3 cards in the entire game do anything to the best deck going second?

Left out ghost reaper and winter cherries bro, it is really good going second vs fiendsmith, even better if you have ED space for more targets

What about super poly and yubel loving defender in side, am I missing something, I thought about siding them going second, wouldn't you clear their whole field like that?

anyone got the link to that spreadsheet in the beginning?

Crow is fine for me, since I'm on Purrely, at worst is an Extra level 1 that can help me make Lyrilusc/Fucho to break a board. I also used to run veiler, but I run into too many enough decks that I had to use mourners instead since at least those would be live most of the time (looking at you random bird enjoyer).

I see a sinchrony between post-Worlds break and Josh's new hair cut. I wish you good luck next Worlds. You are going to put into work, I am sure. ♡

Appo ban helps a lot, but the fact the best decks still end on multiple omnis sucks. I dunno.

I don’t think he mentioned Spell Card: Soul Exchange. Tribute and you get to use your normal summon.

Really good video

Fireking is too buggy

D Shifter is crazy every format. Its not even worth talking about.

You talked about Sphere Mode but is there any consideration for Kaijus? Are 1 for 1 just not good enough? You get to run Kaiju Slumber with them so it's a decent little package.

Ogre vs ritual beast is pretty strong by the fact you can hit canahawk or rampengu and basically remove 1 body from the field wich ritual beast really dislikes. Sadly it's not good vs shifter but after maining it for the last 3 weeks I feel ogre is in a pretty good spot.

Super poly absolutely cooks yubel, just play loving defender forever and its a wrap

ash top 3 is crazy especially when maxx c and fuwaross arent in the format

what do we think about lancea for hindering ritual beasts / floowandereeze, since we are going to need to side handtraps against them anyway?

Punk must be the best because it can search hand traps

Where Can I find the Google Docs showed at the Beginning of the Video?

11:40 You dont even need to chain the trap, lets them resolve Dark Ruler. You still have escape Pop Rage -> Reborn Rage into Little knight and Sharvara poping Desirae quick effect

her name is not ash blossom she is branded fusion negate 😂

Karma canon not good?

What about Dominus Purge?

how is super poly bad if you can get rid of phantom and varudras

What is "No Bueno" and what is "Very Bueno"?

I destroy yubel with SS spells only 0 hand traps

Nice haircut

Where's evenly?

the fact you need to run 12-15 hand traps says alot about the current format

Can you make one for md please 🥹

going 2nd is insta lose unless you are tenpai rip yugioh
