I was the Fur Hire player :) I loved getting EEV’ed twice in the same tournament. Still can’t believe I won the first time after my Lab opponent just hard opened it going first.
My condolences. Lab robbing people with all that cheese just feels bad. Lab has been getting away with war crimes for a while now with basically no direct hits and being allowed in 2 events previously is either favouritism or mad incompetence by the devs.
@@telepathicdragon ah well I knew going in that this was very much a possibility. Also not sure if you saw game 3 of top 16, but my Dragon Link opponent just also happened to hard draw EEV in their 60 card deck after I used Droll. It’s just what Konami does to keep me down lol
Watching Jeff Leonard is like watching someone so experienced every duelist sits around him waiting for a gem of good advice from him, his words go recorded to our minds
I'm the Labyrinth player that got knocked out of top 16 by Rikka! I'm happy to say I was one of the two Lab players that topped!! All things considered I'm super proud of myself for topping as this MCS was my first top ever!! I may not have been able to do as well as Duke, but am I so happy I managed to top this MCS! Thanks to MBT for hosting such an amazing event, and GGs to everyone I played! It was a joy to play in this tournament and I'm gonna make sure during the Invitational I give it my all!
Hey man thanks for being good at the game and all but unfortunately I do have to hate you personally because of a deck you play on a trading card game, I hope you understand
What's their list? I've been LOVING generaiders since the lev XYZ came out, but I'm not sure I'm playing the most consistent list. I'm on 3 vala, 3 loptr, 2 harr, 1 of the rest, 3 field, 1 of each raider spell and trap, then stuff like diviner + trias + DD sprite, world legacy monstrosity, kuji Kiri curse, and then mostly just staples
@@AffirmingtreeYou don't need 1 copy of each Generaider tbh, Nidhogg, Ugartha, and Hela aside from the 3 vala, 2/3 Harr, 3 Loptrs should be fine. Trias at 2 should be a must have for any Generaider deck, and 3 copies of World legacy monstrosity powers up your consistency a lot
@@Affirmingtree your best bet is to play this deck with runic. The draws + control aspects of runic really helps cover the weaknesses of Generaiders. Once the runic level 9 fusion comes out, monstrosity becomes an insanely powerful card to open. The way this pilot played is pretty bad.
9:05 Coder's Right. Current ruling on Karma cannon is like Kaiju slumber. you can't activate it unless there's a monster to flip face down. can't activate it if the only things are Links/unaffected monsters
@@Petsinwinter2 I think in the case of unaffected non-link monsters, it can be legally activated since they theoretically can be flipped face down (a valid position for those monsters to be in), it just won't resolve properly since it fails to actually affects said monsters
I'm the Lab player who got first, couple notes. 1. The side deck may seem weird to many, and that's cause I actually didn't have enough gems to deck it out fully LOL. 2. The Anti-Spell was quite literally a last minute inclusion after a friend said to do it, and it won me the tournament. 3. This is the first time I've topped anything this big let alone win, I was crying a lot afterwards this meant so much to me. 4. They must have seen I was too powerful and hit extrav, welp guess it's time to test Wannabee LOL. 5. Shoutout to every single person I played against. You (especially in top 16) were all really tough matches. The only game I almost dropped was against Roarkallos in round 2 which was a lab mirror into a tie game, and wow I can see why she won these. Overall though thanks for the experience since I don't have the income to do entry fee tourneys regularly (semi-struggling college student) and I hope to be back next time for more! (Sorry in advance to any opponents for any crazy drawn hands, though knowing my luck this is the best I'll ever draw LOL).
Anti-Spell was such a smart last min include!! When I was building my deck I was trying to decide between anti-spell and skill drain. All things considered I wish I went anti-spell as I likely could have won my top 16 match vs Rikka. Can’t believe this tournament was both our first tops! Congrats again on the win Duke! Wish we could have played, but maybe during the invitational!
Possibly but idk if we really want to play against each other XD. The mirror is hell but if we Ed do I look forward to it, I will be testing constancy cards for that to make up for the extrav loss
@@digitalduken9973 The extrav loss def hurts, but personally I was thinking of only running one and it didn't come up as much as I thought it did. So I'm not too broken up over the extrav loss!
that rikka vs lab game 1 was insane... i can't believe lab was able to bounce back at that situation, you can never count this deck out, especially in that sort of grind game, absolutely ridiculous and well played
you say that purrly gets infinite advantage when they out noire but how much does that card advantage matter against the deck that will just search and then activate d barrier every turn
I’m wondering too! I built the deck and cut out the Neos Alius because the master duel RNG kept making me open dolphin I find the ignite field spell works really good getting a warrior on the board, then I play the master duel tax and Crossout.
Yeah, people realized Kashtira was "bad" and Purrely is still broken. Well, ExNoir is at least, half my DC run this time was with Rescue-ACE and as long as I stopped ExNoir from getting on the field I was fine against them, past that point though it's find Kurikara or die(especially if they have the brains to set a spell to summon a Lily with and play around HotA). And no, Rescue-ACE is NOT good yet, the best thing about it right now is being able to play around Maxx "C" when going first. But its average end boards are pretty mid right now, which is still good enough sometimes surprisingly.
Honestly though. It really feels like I only lose to Kash if they open the absolute nuts. The deck just explodes to interaction the actual meta decks put up.
If people were smart they would not play kash during events so it doesn’t get banned. I wish the deck was still at full power in tcg I shelved the deck for good after the hits
Yeah it was pre hit way harder than tear, spright not to mention unfun garbage like lab and runic. I understand them being afraid of zone locking shenanigans so diablosis ban is good thing, but they butchered deck's consistency in meta where everyone is prepared for them. And it's weird to see them go so hard on kashtira while stronger deck roams free (purrely) and you got disgusting "just draw the out" decks everywhere on ladder (runic, lab, stun, mikanko).
Kash does alright on ladder but it’s just so inconsistent that it hurts. If you get hit with Ash on Theosis your turn just ends half the time. Being best of 1 makes it not that ideal to play around Nib as well. But even if you do play around Nib you play massively into Imperm instead and have no other disruption. Kash is frustrating to play with how painfully fragile it is and how it loses to pretty much every commonly played pieces of disruption, but also frustrating to play against if you don’t open the necessary disruption to play into it.
Im always confused on why people call purrely cats they don't really look like cats to me , i assumed it was an eevee situation where its not based on anything specific, just supposed to be cute. And even if it was based on something, i would assume a dog because how many cats do you know enjoy taking baths and playing in water (pretty memory) and also playing fetch (happy memory)
Because the TCG name for it is "Purr"ly, and dogs can't purr last I checked. In fact, no animals other than small cats can purr. Though the OCG name is more vague, as it is a portmanteau of "pure/pyua" and "fairy/feari," hence, "pyuari." So there, they could very much be either cats, dogs, or a combination of both.
@alexquinn4792 guess i never noticed that since i still pronounce it like purely (pure-lee) which im pretty sure was the original name before the tcg version was revealed
@@amamiyaharuto8407 Really? I see more of a fox than a cat. Plus, they have many evolutions, similar to a kitsune in Japanese myth that can transform to basically anything
Hello Jeff, please consider playing INFERNO TEMPEST, its basically stalling until you can pull the trigger to banish your opponents entire deck at once.
Plant hard threw that game one after an amazing comeback. Literally activating Sheet in draw phase vs after Lovely activation would’ve won them the game, and most likely the set 😢
@@alexandregannier5400 agreed. Granted, I’ve been there, too. So uncertain on where to make a move and afraid to waste a resource that by the time you decide, it’s already too late.
the deck is just gigahit out of the gate. What do you even do with 1 planet, no terra, no diablosis, prosp at 1, *and* existing as a deck that dies to purrley outs lmao? Planet pathfinder cope? Nah lol, they just swung REALLY hard after tear qq i think
mbt posted the full breakdown of decks on his twitter, there was 16% kash rep- only 1% behind purrely, the top rep deck. it's not that nobody is playing it, it's straight up not converting.
I was actually curious about that dancepione play in game 1 when you could have gone straight into jasmine for rikka plays, it seemed you could have been fine there. That being said it was cool to see rikka make it so far, mad respect!
@@majickmanYeah I could not tell you what I was thinking there, if I had missed it would’ve been over just there. Going straight into jasmine is the right call 100% of the time. Also ty :>
It happens, btw, have you considered putting 1 copy of therion charge in the deck? if you happen to draw ANY 1 therion card you can take advantage of it's draw effect very consistently, not to mention it's a solid way to send regulus or lily to the gy if you're in a pinch, or you can take even more advantage of grabbing another lily alongside snowdrop. It might seem as a "win-more" card at first glance but let's be real, the deck still can brick and with the meta landscape, there's no such thing as "I don't need more", if the deck could, it would love to add any pot into the deck. It helped me a lot more that I expected during this dc.
@@justinpennington6680oh god, the floo mirror is a clusterfuck. Cluster cluck. The best matchup I think I ever played was Vaylantz Marincess. They put Koenig Wissen on my side, which was a big mistake, because after I put up Battle ocean, I could Shinra Bansho any monster I wanted out of the equip spell position onto the board at will during my turn. Big mistake!
limit prosperity and no diablosis is such a killer for the deck. it would have been absolutely overpowered with those yeah but its just kinda meh as it is
Well, then the deck loses to everything that doesn't effect other decks, it's no surprise there. Besides, when all most decks can do is spam negates that's not even really playing the game.
And this is why Labrynth is such a degenerate deck. They don't do anything but flip floodgates and rip cards from their opponent's hand. Konami needs to ban that nonsense.
@@r3zaful In their archetype... if they decide to make baron, it would be weird for them to continue their plays. I've played against so much Kashtira and NONE of them ever made Baron. Even when I lost to them.
@@Ragnarok540 Kashtira in its current MD iteration is far more tolerable than some silly Umi "control" deck. The deck lacks consistent ways to properly zone lock you and the macro on legs aka ariseheart has no protection outside of that one prosperity interaction. Kash right now is far less toxic than Umi which is only relevant because of TCBOO liek floodgate
@@sammydray5919 Kairyu-shin is barely a floodgate, you can do a lot more than you'd think with just one monster. Even when they do draw the unsearchable semi-limited tcboo, half the time they'll need to sacrifice either a possible jellyfish negate or the kairyu itself to protect it from destruction, and then still you can just banish it with something like, oh I don't know, Fenrir? Sea stealth wouldn't even destroy the Fenrir when you declare an attack because the pop activates in damage step. If you want anything that could be considered a "fair" floodgate deck, Umi control is pretty much it.
I LOVE seeing people play Purrely so much because its such an easy deck to play around 😂 I love free wins personally so please keep playing it everyone 🙏
I think we really see why Kashtira Fernier is in fact the problem card here and that the OCG made the right call, banning it and hitting Unicorn to 1. Ariseheart is really strong but not nearly strong enough to carry a deck without one of the strongest cards ever printed to be it's starter that's so strong it's splashed in most good decks.
The thing is Ariseheart is a cringe floodgate boss monster and Fenrir is a turbo Pankratops that helps decks play through bullshit without being a brick, so if you have to choose one to get rid of why not just axe the macro cosmos on legs?
Tbf a card like fenrir is also a lot more dominant under maxx c. You pretty much have to play into maxx c to deal with fenrir and its also a low investment play you can make if you get hit with it yourself. Fenrir at 3 feels like a mistake but I can respect hitting arise in the tcg.
@@Click3tyClickI agree. Although it forces you to contend with it, Fenrir is not an unfair card. Unlike Arise-Heart that floodgatekeep you to playing cards that must out it or decks that semi-do not care about the GY.
