Definitely Infernoble. Angel ring gives it a free out to DRNM or droplet. It definitely won’t be tier 1 though just from representation alone. The deck is very hard and players probably won’t want something that difficult for 10+ rounds.
I think infernoble will fill a similar role to decks like dragon link: not the boogeyman in the room, but present at pretty much every event and never a non-threat.
all but skill is required for the next format : draw thrust =autowin tear is basicaly gatcha draw feather storm =autowin draw shifter =autowin prosperity +trust= next game
The new chimera monster can send any beast, fiend or illusion monster to grave. This means you can mix it with tribrigade, since you can send kitt to graveyard, dump nerval and search. It also means that you can run more monster floodgates by dumping them then reviving them with chimera phantom beast grave effect during the opponents turn. You can play invader of darkness, makes life hard for runick and purrely. You can play end of anubis for any graveyard strategy. There are probably other ones too.
The main concern with Tri-brigade is that Berfomet locks you into fusions for the rest of the turn. You wouldn’t be able to link climb like you would. I never understood why people would mix the two. Unless you do your tribrigade lines first. Too risky.
@@ozzyb6595 this is true. Most of the time you won't even be summoning berformet for this reason. El exordio has replays of the deck and it looks interesting ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4KMMdGWWRsE.html&ab_channel=ElExordiodelDuelista
@@ozzyb6595i play the deck irl and trust me the berfomet lock almost never comes up, cuz like you said you either do your tri combos earlier or you just don't and setup the chimera board, which is not half bad tbh. In fact the new fusion makes it so that you can access all your tri brigade stuff even without opening any name, which is huge. Another benefit is that it nicely gives you the option to dodge things like veiler or imperm cuz its materials are so easy to have in hand, which would normally destroy you depending on the hand I'm telling you this new fusion is bonkers
I think Exosisters can be a solid deck. They got an indirect buff from the banlist. They aren’t getting any new support but all the graveyard decks coming back are just lining up to get put down by them. Asophiel being an in archetype Dweller is bound to cause some headaches
Swordsoul, under the right pilot, it can still hold its own. And I mean Tenyi Swordsoul. Between the recursion, toolbox of removing problem cards on the field and variety of extra deck monsters, it's still not dead. Plus with the handful of flex spots for tech and the sideboard, it can still push its way through today's meta.
One thing to mention: Sinful Spoils also gives R-ACE access to synchro plays. Being able to search for a tuner like Jet Synchron to make a Savage Dragon or Baronne allows for additions disruption & negates during your opponent’s turn.
That variant is very interesting, I've been looking into it myself, its very OCG inspired and without maxx C it could be incredible and remove the need for Iblee, But the lines are too long, it exposes extra choke points making the board weaker. I've always preferred shorter combos even if it has less of a WOW factor to them. If the combos are equal in Risk, Synchro variants maybe better, but does it also add bricks in the consistency?
@@MSTTV that’s valid - I personally don’t like the Savage Dragon since it’s possible to accidentally fill up your zones first (I’ve seen it happen). I personally have been testing just the Baronne with hydrant at 2 copies vs 3 and Courageous Crimson Chevalier Bradamante as the one tuner to make Baronne with it and Turbulence; the main reason for Bradamante is because I like that it works as a form of boss monster removal and can work with the snake eyes monsters to special summon the boss monster to your side of the field (if a bigger snake eye package is run). Overall deck allows for more flexibility with the extra deck post-AGOV
For Tears, while I’m excited for Horus. I’m also extremely excited for the Visas Samsara so we can play the small scareclaw engine to go into diabolantis and astraloud for the zombie vampire. Mill with zombie vampire, summon a monster and turn that monster plus zombie vampire into IP and then on opponents turn can use IP plus the light heart still on field to go into an SP little night
One deck that may pop up into rogue status is cyber dragon spright. Not many will know what it does so won't know how to beat it. The cyber dragon engine pairs nicely with the melffy spright deck giving it a lot of in-engine utility options and consistency with some nasty end boards (4-6 interruptions including 1-2 Omni negates backed by hand traps). It has a 1 card out to the unchained board that doesn't destroy (won't trigger unchained effects). The deck has a decent tear matchup too, I was playing it at ycs Sydney during full power ishizu tear format and went X-1 against tear (only reason I didn't top/bubble was a misplay on my part, the deck was good all day). Rescue ace is a decent match up as well, since a lot of them are machines. The deck has room for a lot of non engine too, 12 in a 41 card deck. So it can run enough non engine for harder match ups and side for anything else. It has a couple of downsides, droll hurts depending on the opening hand, same with bystials, but droll is moving to the side and bystials play into thrust/talents, so those aren't the biggest concerns. It also has a couple of awkward hands that can lose to a single disruption, but it has 12, 1 card starters so the likelihood of not opening something playable is extremely low.
What about pend magicians, AGOV gives them more consistency cards and gives you a way to pend summon again. It also gives them a new link 3 as a replacement for Selene
Not really, the deck still loses hard to Droll, Crow Bystial etc and gains nothing that makes them less fragile. Sure they get 1-card combo but that combo loses out to droll still and now loses out to Nib which was something the deck didn't really lose to post Dune. Deck is practically in the same spot it's in post Dune with a really good lvl 6 Synchro. Samsara is really good but he makes you play into Nib, Rumble Synchro is great to search off Crimson but it doesn't really do much that you can't do already.
@@RanmyakuJouten I wouldnt say it loses hard to Bystials and crow, since now Samsara is Visas on field and in grave and can put those banished cards back in the deck. I mean yeah the deck loses to droll, won't argue that
I'd love if people actually gave a shot to tg, the new supports are excellent and it can calamity lock now while playing diabellestarr and also it has a lot of flex spots
Lab with Butler coming out in AGOV. Turn 0 combos and EEV is still a card. Transaction Rollback also comes out in AGOV, so Lab can resolve Big Welcome and Welcome twice by pitching Rollback with the furniture cards. The combos can be outright degenerate
I think that infernoble is underrated, because he's not the stongest combo deck of the format but it is still a really competent deck. And he has a combo heavier deck that is not really studied right now but that is less bricky and that is stronger against hand trap : the pendulum variant. I think there is something to dig here.
Just won a playmat at a locals beating unchained (the player is a judge who was apparently undefeated 3 weeks in a row til I came on in), salad etc with brave synchron and jet is a level 1 fire so the new cards in age could buff list. My unique build can consistently rip 2, with 3 negates on board and a counter trap. With a 2 card combo but can get lucky and do this with a 1 card combo if tuning is nice to me lol
Unchained can use SP Little Night since its a dark so rage and anguish can go into it. It is a warrior so the fiend lock on your turn might conflict but there are ways around it.
But on the flip side, it removes Rage (or Yama from the GY) and banishes Caesar (no materials) or anything else to hinter your link plays + removes itself from the board so it will block a potential Rage even during the next turn. I'll definitely play this in Unchained, but i believe the format shift + this will make the deck a lot less popular.
Im still wondering why you didnt include infernoble. Its pretty underrated. I mean i Got on Board: Gearfried, 2 charlemagne, 1 baron und ra' ten and angelica . Equipped with (talking about best possible Board) Metalsilver Armor and Oliver on 1 charlemagne, Gearfried with ogier and some other Equipments what so ever. Meaning i got: 1 Omni negate, 1 Monster negate (non target), 2 spell/trap negates. 1 target Pop in my battlephase, 1 non target pop with Roland with Quick equip. I can play around super poly with goki oger, i can play around nibiru, also around lockbird and also around dragoon. So Sure, its a card game we still got rng in it. But still in my oppinion, its underrated and should be atleast tier 1.5.
Vanquish soul is really underrated the new monster helps the deck allot and the shs engine improves the consistency and also the ceeling of the deck going 1st or 2nd
I honestly like ninja. Book of moon and book of eclipse pull double duty to interrupt opponent/ make them pay for your dancing leaves and reset your flips, floodgate trap hole on legs with gravity ninja, and the flexibility of the iron daggers equip. Also it’s dirt cheap. You can bling it out and still pay less than some decks. Oh and since Hanzo is old as the hills it has no OPT.
I would like to see where altergeist goes... Invoked has a new variant if I am not mistaken ... If it stays under the radar people won't prepare for them. and can likely surprise people with a top but if they hit a top 8 or 4 then people will flock to it surfacing them to the main stream as meta
TomBox: if you have a terrible memory you will have a hard time keeping up with this deck. Me: HA! losers skill level. Also Me w/Terrible Memory: " yo yo yo! play slow i gotta see what youre playing" lmao
Because of Tearlament, Abyss Dweller is back. Some decks main deck Shifter, Droll is many side decks so it will be difficult for DW Danger to make something. Anyway the 5 cards handloop is still very strong against everything on going 1st without tje cards above
its mainly because of 2 things: Ban list. - No Ariseheart, - Less people are playing droll - Less Bystials - They can win from 1 successful line into an OTK.
Labyrnth gets a turn 1 Eradicator Epidemic Virus why are people not getting it that Labrynth is basically a tier 0 trap deck but everyone gonna have to start playing around that before they set up their board
At events I play to win sometimes, but with the invite at hand and I don't need a mat... I might just choose a dark horse deck to mess people up with poor siding choices. I might just go lazy and play a super floodgatey deck.
I got out of the game a couple months back. All I see now is rotation of cards that require players to buy new cards. With power creep being a catalyst to spend more money. I will say the income I was generating from trading and selling cards is very much missed.
How about exosister with dark cyber and spirit engine? Lot of graveyard interactions this format. I know people are playing dinomorphia in it as well. I just choose not to so I don't get cheap wins off of rextrum XD keep up the good work tom!
brother fails to mentions phantom knights again :(, your boi is cooking up for the new regionals season and will try to finally get his invite. unironically pk have a bunch of silly synchro plays and only really looses to itself ( somehow i brick with all the one ofs every game ). the hardest matchup is anything with super poly ( i still think that card is stupid and should still be at 1 or something )
Why Blackwing? Kanak made a point of that deck. He's got the lines down and appropriate end boards. Most decks don't get explored to a degree which would be top tier, but some individuals push the deck to their rogue limit.
its always around, its good, but somehow it fits the venn diagram of what other people are siding. Thus leading to them having a harder time games 2 and 3. I think because cross out D is getting more and more popular and the handtrap pool is smaller they should be able to make a comeback in the season
@@fanplasterI just ask you a question. I play darkworld myself and unfortunately, even if Arise Heart is gone, I still have troubles against the cards I mentionned. So I ask you how darkworld can be a thing in this format 😊
Personally I think plunder (personally the adventurer version) is in a good place in this format most of the top decks you listed are light and dark based and suffer from getting banished. The only deck I can see being a major struggle is rescue ace
The last 18months i did rennovate an old house and didn’t really played yugioh. But looking at the last months and the latest formats, I’m happy I did prioritized my actual life and didn’t keep up with this mess that Konami made out of this game. I hope - for the sake of active players - that the game will get better eventually.
Beats unchained because they can only link off on your turn with special summon. Gren maju is a normal summon. Beats rescues ace and other rouge strategies because D shifter is a win con for gren maju Beats purrly because you play Kaijus/lava golems in the deck. Beats floo because dangers pick the board apart.
In a format with other combo decks that can do that or be more consistent. Infernoble has like 12 ROTAs at the min and a high rolling DDW hand can play through like a binder worth of interaction. Being a combo deck means having to compete with Infernoble, Danger Dark World, Rikka Sunavalon, etc. Why play Mannadium over a different combo strategy?
@@adellongino9413 At least I've actually heard of it topping lol yall been coping on Mannadium since before yall knew its name Also we have Ken/Gen now Dark World is more cracked than Mannadium now lol
Its aite. It's just cut from the same cloth as most combo decks, with more steps but similar results. It's nice to play through nib, but not fun to get drolled on, d barriered, or gozened.
@@MSTTVI’ve played through D Barrier plenty of times with just Astraloud and my link tool box and have done fine. D Barrier doesn’t kill as hard as some think
