Can you please use my code? I'm 32 years old, I came back to Yu-Gi-Oh! and most of the times I can't understand what's happening, but Swordsoul seems easy and enjoyable for a beginer. Please use 15bd377c
I bet a lot of people (like me) are watching this after the free deck from the recruit system. I've wanted to play this deck for a long time. edit: Small tip for people who want to run PEP, put a copy of Destrudo as well. You'll have an alternative to summon him easier and give a huge attack boost.
Same, been holding myself from crafting a budget version of the deck for a long time and finally a free deck comes up. I'd definitely use PEP as I also like the card but dont really want to build punks for it.
@@ashutoshmahapatra9036 Psychic End Punisher. It's a Level 11 Synchro that can come up once and a while with the Deck (Token with a Level 7 Tenyi for example).
Wow! This guide really help me a lot. I wanted to play swordsoul but didn't have the luxury to craft the cards. I stayed until the very end and I have deep respect for the amount of time and effort you've put on this guide. This walkthrough is a blessing and you made it with excellence. Thanks alot bro!
I am a returning Yugioh player (havent played it since 2006) I sat through this like I would at a lecture taking notes with my iPad. What a guide, Thanks Brav!
Incredible guide! I recently pulled for Swordsoul in Master Duel and am trying it out now. Another monster I thought of for Extra Deck Inclusion is "Icejade Gymir Aegirine", since it protects your monsters and has a banishing effect that could synergize with Chengying.
What's the consensus on running Icejade Gymir Aegirine? I've found some success summoning it instead of Baron off the standard Mo Ye to Long Yuan line.
I was playing Ninjas and a little bit of Dark Worlds. Started to look for decks that seemed cool and this seems really cool and a cool playstyle. Branded despia and OP stuff like stun seem lame. Glad I found this video it's AMAZING and exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks so much for putting this together for people like me :)
i can only do the basic combo... the advance ones are very hard to pull off, even if you have the right cards, the opponent have also all the negate card effect to disrupt your combo. im im really lucky if i manage to summon two synchro summons in one turn. but this video is very helpul and i learn i lot
I have absolutely leaned on this vid to help my SSTEN plays whilst getting into MD. I’m about a month in and loving it. Hands down the single best guide for SS out there, and whilst I don’t run the exact list you recommend (to better suite my personal play-style and current knowledge of the deck) this vid has been essential in helping me to understand for MYSELF why I run/choose not to run the recommended cards/ratios. That being said; I’m gonna need something this in-depth with card explanations and play by play breakdowns for Branded Bystial Despia 😝 there are SO MANY interactions involved and I feel like I’m bashing my head against a wall of info blindly while attempting to build and trial the deck slowly.
Hi there. Great video thank you. I’m just starting you-go-oh and am trying to build this deck in master duel. However, the main deck breakdown only comes in at 26 cards. I assume the other 15 are staples but being new to the game, I don’t know what they are (with the exception of ash) and the pictures aren’t clear enough for me to work the rest out. Would it be possible to get the deck list just in plain text as a comment? Thank you
Disagree on summit. There's many combinations that allow summit to be useful at 1. Moye, longyuan, dragon cycle Taia longyuan, any teny except ashuna. Emergence, longyuan Taia, Emergence (if you dont have the swordsoul target in hand theres a chance of drawing into a target to extend plays) Ecclesia tenyi longyuan Ecclesia, Emergence Etc. The combinations are what you look out for. Who cares about consistency when swordsoul is consistent enough. 1 wont kill the deck. Iris and golden swordsoul played at 1 wont kill the deck either. Iris is useful in the hand if moye gets negated. If you have taia lines or ecclesia you can use golden swordsoul on the opponents turn to get to iris. This video is also 2 months old. Swordsoul is powercrept out the format with this basic list with purrely, kashtira variants, dragonlink, branded, labyrinth, mathmech, cyberse piles etc. Its not good enough anymore. So im not following this list as gospel. The deck needs to evolve. Better tech options need to be explored. You and the other swordsoul heads need to focus more on how to use swordsoul with its consistency to increase the power level and not just hyper focused on consistency with no power.
Pak played this deck recently on a stream and his decklist pretty much lines up with everything that was said in this video. Swordsoul requires you to play more properly than Chixiao, Baronne and Protos pass at the moment, you need to learn the combos and lines now to win consistently. I would highly recommend you to actually learn the deck and it's lines first, before you deny a "2 month" old guide that lines up with a deck profile of Pak's most recent Swoso video, which is only 2 weeks old. EDIT: I am not denying that the deck is being powercrept and that it needs to adapt to the meta to a certain extent, but not with all of your mentioned card choices, those were all bad. A fitting adjustment would be leaning more towards Bystials to deal with Dragon Link, Puppet Lock, Mathmech...
I feel the Denglong line to play through imperm or veiler was very off from the way you should go about it, which why I feel people underestimate Denglong in Swordsoul. With that hand specically, you make Denglong w/ Adhara + Sthana before you normal summon your Swordsoul (use Adhara to add back Ashuna if it’s Mo Ye), then do your normal summon and activate its effect. Use Denglong’s effect to send a lvl 4 to the GY if your Swordsoul gets negated, viola you have a lvl 4 tuner on the board. Leading to my next point, any advice on making a guide like this for a version of the deck with Denglong and Yang Zing in the main? I run them in mine, and yes I know it may seem suboptimal but I enjoy the endboards you can make with them. Plus them being wyrms let’s you play with them through Ashuna and they work along with your Swordsouls effects. In the aforementioned Denglong line for example, you can summon Qixing + draw effect , Chixiao, and Chengying (or light Chaofeng) as a two card combo from Denglong’s other 2 effects in that combo.
Also want to recommend Summit as searchable monster reborn is always never bad. Let’s you extend combos, helps recovery, and in hands where you don’t have to search Longyuan from Chixiao you can otk with it as your search instead.
I’ve been playing my swso scuffed asf 😭😭 Those combo lines and saving resources got me hooked for sure. I never knew you could combo it like that until I saw this and I knew I wasn’t playing it as optimal as I should. Swordsoul has always been my M1 climb deck so this vid has helped a ton man, I appreciate it. Had to sub for this one
A lot of Hollow Knight OST, I approve. Also thanks, while the more common and intuitive combos (Such as Mo ye into longyuan for 2 interrupts) are quite far spread on the internet, most other combos are really hard to find.
One question. Does baxia activate its pop and summon from the graveyard twice? In the description, it is once per turn. Im kinda having a tough time thinking about this
despite originally being for MD, still helps for physical game. thanks a lot. and by the way, with emergence and adhara, you can have longyuan, chixiao, chaofeng light lock and 9 pillars of yang zing on field. you can also play dragite since it plays pretty well with moye, and also you can use the excavate effect to do compulsory effect if you are playing nibiru
the words at 12:15 echoed through my mind as i banished 3x Mo ye, 2x Longyuan and 1x Blackout with desires today... left me with 1 Longyuan in hand and 2 Taias in deck XD
Glad I looked at this video, with Barrone De Fluer set to be banned, I needed to find a card to fill that space in. The adamancipator card was the perfect choice for me. Though if you have a better suggestion, I am all ears.
Slight phrasing issue there, you search with Chixiao, and then add back with Adhara. Point is you should have Ashuna back in hand to help with whatever Chixiao searches. I just couldn't find a good way to write the script for that part specifically.
what an awesome guide! really helpful for the beginners player like me, love this beginners friendly deck, anyway how about the swordsoul + ringowrum combo sir? do you have any plans to make a guide of it?
I recently got into master duel and after getting the Swordsoul structure deck from the Follower Campaign, I've made it my own. I looked up videos on the deck to see what people actually used in it, but I found myself not liking the 2 spellcaster tuners or the Tenyi engine, let alone I didn't have any crafting materials for the Tenyi engine. I also didn't and still don't have a crazy number of extra deck monsters to pick and choose the best and use. Only just today I was able to get Baronne de Fleur, even got lucky and pulled 2 of it. My deck right now consists of: 3 Mo Ye, Taia, Longyuan, Emergence, and Sacred Summit. The other cards I have at 3 that probably not many others have are Virtual World Oto-Hime - Toutou and Monster Reincarnation. I saw I had that Virtual World card and it's pretty cool; it's a level 6 wyrm that can special summon itself as a tuner from the GY by discarding a wyrm. I like this because it gives more availability to synchro 10's but also opens the door for synchro 12's, really the only one worth using is Superheavy Samurai Brave Masurawo for being a big booty that can draw you cards. It also allows for possibly going into Xyz 6's like Number 39: Utopia Beyond and Photon Strike Bounzer. The cards I have at 2 are Forbidden Chalice, Blackout, Dust Tornado, Called by the Grave, and Call of the Haunted. The one-of's are Iris, Monster Reborn, Lightning Vortex, Maxx "C", Effect Valor, Ash Blossom, Numbers Protection, Silent Graveyard, and Performapal Celestial Magician. I like this deck to have a lot of recursion in it in case any of my synchro's gets destroyed, hence all the summon from GY cards. I put in all the cards that discard for cost so I'd have ways to discard the Virtual World card because I want it in the deck or grave, not my hand, although, while writing the effect of it above I realized I'd be able to discard itself if I had one in grave and one in hand. The only card I'll probably change back is Lightning Vortex to Raigeki. I have the Silent Graveyard card in the deck becuase there be lots of effects that activate in the GY. The Performapal seems like an interesting card and with this deck I expect to use it's pendulum effect to re summon something that got destroyed and then special summon it from the GY while I have a synchro and Xyz on the field so it doubles it's attack and the opponent can't activate monster effects that turn. The synchro's I'm using are Supreme Sovereign - Chengying, Grandmaster - Chixiao, Superheavy Samurai Brave Masurawo, Adamancipator Risen - Dragite, Timelord Progenitor Vorpgate, Crimson Blader, and 2 Baronne de Fleur. I've only played 2 games of ranked and none were with this deck, so idk how effective it is, being compared to the Tenyi version or not, but I expect it to still be fairly good.
Last thing for now, if most people don’t play a card it’s 99.9999999% because it’s not a good addition, we all been there thinking we found the line, me personally it was with the gravity collapse counter trap
Another use for circle: Tribute a normal monster to summon Mo Ye. Her effect will go through, because its an n Summon effect und circles negate only sets in, as soon the card hits the field, so you'll get the token either way
Any advice playing swordsoul tenyi against Snake Eye and Unchained? I have a snake eyes deck, but I'm getting really sick of the barage of mirror matches. Newer account, don't want to spend a lot of money.
use your handtraps wisely because engine alone won't be enough to beat snake eye as for unchained, I think our engine can deal with it pretty effectively already, but using handtraps to stop them is also good
@@brav1122 Some follow up questions then. What hand traps do you suggest running currently and how many copies of each? My current list of hand traps is 3 Ash blossom, 3 infinite impermanence, 2 called by the grave. Any considerations for Nibiru, effect veiler, forbidden droplet, crossout designator or dimension shifter?
I have been looking at this deck for a while but never could find something updated for the newest cards/ format. Then this popped up. Thank you for this amazing guide
I honestly don’t believe the “swordsoul community” helped u. first off heavenly is dog crap and the level 4 tenyi monsters are soo good especially paired up with Virtual World Oto-Hime also visas you can ss ashuna to monk then use ashuna affect to ss level 4 tenyi then tribute monk for visas boom level ten plus you can easily make any level ten by sending Virtual World Oto-Hime to grave by one of the many ways in this archetype then use his grave affect to ss him to your field as a tuner then use him and a lvl4 tenyi to make a lvl ten synchro smh these are all things I’ve seen LITERALLY the best swordsoul players off discord all use on a regular so again idk what community you talked to because you showed the most basic sword soul combos I’ve ever seen. Also all those cards I mentioned are all different attributes so more ways to summon protos the god of this deck..
Yeah that visas line doesn't even work once you use Ashuna as you are wyrm locked. And Oto-Hime (most people call it Toutou by the way) isn't terrible per se, it will just clog up hands if you open it and requires you to have a wyrm in hand to discard when longyuan already requires a discard for it's effect too. Having fringe situations where you can increase the ceiling of the end board doesn't make this deck stronger when it's all about consistency rather than explosive turn 1 set ups. Oh and circle is widely considered a great, versatile card for many reasons beyond just dodging targeted effects so yeah the card isn't even up for debate as to whether it's good or not.
I recently saw a decklist using only two Monks and having a Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. Thoughts on that? Also do you have links to some of those decklists you mentioned at around the 24 minute mark?
scarlight isn't good when baxia exists, and we mentioned 3 monks being preferable in the grind game you can most likely find the updated decklists in the swordsoul channel in the master duel meta discord
Thank you so much for this bro, been playing this deck for a few months and I've learnt so many combos and stuff that I didn't know about. Keep up the good work bro !
