Some Explanations: - Only 2 small welcome because big welcome is better, and the same copy of welcome comes back again and again. - Only 2 Lady because its not essential to hard draw, and its not even that powerful against decks with strong engine. Cutting it to 2 makes room in the deck. - Ash is solid in this deck since it makes the mirror match less horrible. It also covers branded, which is a bad matchup. - Gamma loses all of its usual downsides in this deck since the furniture let you discard a dead gamma or driver. Also you sometimes end turn 1 without putting a monster on board. That being said, gamma sucks vs Tear, and that is probably enough reason to cut it. - Eradicator is surprisingly bad. Its only in there to prevent evenly matched, and to help in the mirror. Most other times its not worth using. - All 4 pots because consistency is a good thing. Also the plus 1 from Extravagance makes the furniture easier to use. - The field spell is important in the mirror, also its nice to have another target for the furniture when you already have access to both traps. - The furniture build is better than a more stun focussed build in my opinion. Evenly matched is not a strong card in the current format, and thats one of the main reasons not to play furniture. In future formats, it could be better to cut all the furniture and play more traps. - 1 Clock because it doesnt play by itself. - Dimensional Barrier is the best tool the deck has to combat Tear and Branded. - Compulse is a generic normal trap that always works. It was underwhelming and probably worth cutting. Punishment is solid. - Magna and Druis are crazy in this deck. They help against Tear, and can be bounced back to your hand in order to reuse their effects. - Rivalry and Skill Drain are needed because the deck is often not strong enough to meet Tear or Branded, or even sometimes Spright, on their own terms, so stunning them is an easy win. Rivalry is pretty much the only way to still win a game after Tear does a full combo. - The only important cards in the extra deck are Muckracker and N'tss, so 3 of each makes sense. The rest of the cards are extremly situational and hardly ever come up, but you might as well play some number of them since theres nothing better to fill the extra with. - Dingirsu cool. Zeus staple. - Bucephalus and Garura = a draw. - The synchros are intended to be a blowout for when you chain gamma to your opponents ash on extravagance. - Other options you could fill these slots with are: Bagooska, Psychic End Punisher, Scareclaw Tri-Heart, Underworld Goddess, Wind Pegasus, Spright Elf + Gigantic. The fossil monsters also make good budget options. - This list doesnt include the Ishizu Shufflers, but it probably should. Those cards are great discards for the furniture, and it punishes Tear for milling you. My updated list has put them in. - Ice Dragons Prison is a much better option than compulse. - Overall i think Lab is super solid. When Tear gets hit again, its going to be even better. The ability to comfortably survive a maxx c is a really good quality for a competitive deck. - I dont think the exact list is important, since its a trap deck with a more reactive gameplan. Lab is at its best when its card choices are unexpected. - Also the mirror sucks ass.
Do you mind explaining why Gamma is bad vs tear? Also I agree with the struggles against Branded one of the decks that’s been difficult to put unless I get optimal hand traps. I had to drop D barrier since it’s a dead card outside of the meta or mirror which is highly played and went with 2 impermanence instead. Felt Rivalry was a brick as well if the matchup didn’t require it.
@@answering248 I dont like gamma vs tear because where are you supposed to use it if its your only handtrap? The best time is on the gy effect of a tear after they normal reino. Its just a worse bystial because it doesnt banish the card, and puts nothing on board.
@AprilShowerz hmm to be fair I do run a hand trap heavy build since I feel like it’s east to get into the Lab engine and I don’t trust winning coin toss majority of the time. I haven’t had an issue with the tears I’ve faced so far, I just downloaded Master Duel last week so the highest rank I got was Plat 1 before reset (was almost Diamond 🙃) so I probably have to experience the things you mention since I’m not too sure what cards hard counter them yet. I heard Ash was a hard hit for Branded but the always seem to play around it, another deck I don’t truly understand yet is Floowandereeze. Kinda learned the Traptrix matchup buts that’s a tough one as well. Idk if you give pointers on deck building but I could show my list through discord if you don’t mind.
isnt overoot better than idp? (If i want to change compulse) Since it can target card, not just monster. And what's an alternative for gamma? super poly, ishizu, or maybe imperm?
i wouldnt replace it at all, the deck would be built different all together. For example the bystials arent as important now that tear is gone. ill be making a new list soon.
Amazing video. I just got back into MD and have started building Lab too. Does it still do well in this current meta? Also, is your list still useable? Or should I try something different.
@@AprilShowerz Heyy! i just got to gold 2 :DD i have 21hrs in the game haha. My friend has put some other cards than you im about to try your cards if i can somehow manage to get them in my deck
@@SixTenshi thats very good for a complete beginner. Keep going, its more important that you just play and practise, dont worry about the exact decklists just yet.
Yes, chaos angel is now the most important card in the extra. you could honestly play 3. and yeah im still playing all the pots. usually they are the first thing you use, so fenrir has no target, and unicorn doesnt matter.
@@AprilShowerz im playing it at 2, but only bc im conserving ur cp. And what really makes the pots risky is diablosis. More ammo for it. Also thoughts on set-up in the event? Been really good for me
@@wubwubdododo5656 I havnt looked at it too much since i dont normally play them. I normally use a loaner for the gems and thats it. Theres actually some challenger cup tournaments for the light and dark event, so maybe ill look into a good lab list.
@@AprilShowerzchaos angel is fun, but I’ve been trying to figure out a way to fit chaos arch fiend into my lab deck too, since chaos archfiend turns into a 4500 beatstick that if removed by card effect can instantly special summon chaos angel and banish another monster.
OMG... how many hours have you put together for this ONE video? (including gameplay time, video editing etc) BIG KUDOS! Liked! SIDE: Mind share what tools you used to record and put the replays together? It is so seamlessly smooth !
@@jessiebessie3616 Runick can be a hard matchup, but mathmech shouldnt be too hard. Against mathmech i would try holding my destructions for later rather than sooner, you never know how many extenders they drew, and they only need 2 or 3 to otk. Against runick i would suggest playin Terrors of the Overroot. Its a good counter to fountain.
Not a fan of lab, but big fan of you. I play branded often and I seem to struggle with lab in Master Rank going second. If they get dimensional barrier in rotation, it's pretty tough, but if it's not set up definitely feel like lab gets ran over. Big fan of yours love the series can't wait for the next one.

These types of vids are the best. Learn lines, see different plays, learn combos and synergy. Thanks for sharing and for the effort. Congrats on M1!
thanks!
I was looking exactly for this type of video! Thanks.
Even though i hate this deck more than runick stun and wish to see it get hit i must admit you did a pretty good job 👍
April, you’re awesome!! I remember when you said you were going to do the Rookie to Master climb with Lab. Thanks for delivering ❤️
Me reaching master to prove that i am capable of entering Lady Labyrinth's only fans
hope you enjoying my rookie climbs. new lab one coming soon ❤
It late but what would you recommend card to replace the third copy of pot of extra since the card is now limit to 2?
i wouldnt replace it at all, the deck would be built different all together. For example the bystials arent as important now that tear is gone. ill be making a new list soon.
我的確需要這個，超讚的啦，謝啦 兄弟
Appreciate the music choice :)

lab is still a top deck. you can play a similar build, theres a lot out there.
Poderia disponibilizar o deck no masterduel meta ? Entrei através do link porém não se encontra mais
Im very new at the game i really like this deck, a friend of mine helped me get this deck. Im at silver v now :-)
Hey thats cool, glad u liked the deck. People say labrynth is no fun, but they're wrong :)

Oh nvm I see it now
I updated it. Also its at the end of the video@@yohane2787
Now that Chaos Angel is out, you gonna add it? Also how do you feel about the pots with kashtira in the mix? Feels so bad to use them against Kash.

How important were the floodgates in Master?
at the competitive level, the floodgates are really good. Rivalry might even be the better one.

It took a few days to climb, and then a few days to edit. I use OBS to record since its free, and my editing program is Wondershare Filmora.
Respect! This single video is days of hard work!

It’s kinda scary knowing that we like somewhat of the same decks
we like good decks :)
nah fr tho has me trembling

Have you ever used the field card to destroy your own Skill drain?
I dont think i have. Cool play though.

How exactly do you summon N'tss?
you dont. you send it with punishment
