The only thing i see a problem with is you have so many monsters in here, with 3 arias you'll not very often actually have something to set off it, and there isn't anything you want to special with it either.
Why Lab works blind 2nd? Going 1st Lab is just a preparation for a grind game, getting hit by some handtraps on 1st turn playing Lab kinda hurt sometimes. And could possibly dead on 2nd turn against 1 card combo meta deck... But yeah, going 2nd open Arias + Impulse + Phantazmay, will give u guaranteed 3rd turn. Cz on the 1st turn you want to force the opponents to pass or they dead to card advantage 2nd turn... Or if can't OTK on 2nd turn, 3rd turn Lab just being Lab, "Grind Game" to the death.
@@felipemendes5336 You can, but people don't.... (and the current version without any floodgates nor access to arias is not that competitively viable)
@@lmr4403you very much can play without floodgates even in Md. Looking at mdm dbarrier is only at 27% usage and skill drain at 25%. The floodgates are over rated by ppl who don’t really play lab, I mean I get it being under d barrier sucks, but playing them makes so many hands worse and while you can search them, you need really big combos to do so, and at that point setting something else would still be really good without having to play cards that don’t do anything alone
I hate it here. Once Arias came out I built a very similar deck and evvvveryone on DB laughed at me when I posted it. "Lmfaooo youre really coping on the furniture cards xdd", this comment is stuck in my head for so long now. And now someone won a Regional with it and I cant tell these unintelligent idiots to smd
3:49. You say that, but TCG Konami has done some really weird things in the past. Like releasing a promo Rescue Rabbit and then sending it to limited I think a month after the tin released. What I'm saying is Snake Eye is probably safe from bans until one of them gets reprinted :p.
If u wana hit snek eyes? Just ban yhe spell. As for hitting it wuthout killing it? They made it expensive. Its the chance u take. They made it expensive. What ever choice they go with, will make people angry
Fire attacker resolves + any shaddoll name of your choice gets discarded: what’s your end result? This is talking ideal scenario for you what’s the best you can pull off. Probably discard Wendi/discard Squamata send Wendi, then set something to be flipped next turn? The issue with that is S:P is very available and denies most of the value you gained.

@@mrbubbles6468 It is, unless we're talking about OCG rules where you're not allowed to surrender on Victory Dragon. Even with OCG Victory Dragon it's still 50:50.
I tried this in MD about 3 Months ago, but without Arias and black goat its kinda boneless. Might be similar when those cards release, those 2 hits really grind down the consistency
I play Lab most of the time and honestly I don’t feel like Arias changed that much. The release of Transaction Rollback was a far bigger buff to the deck IMO. Hopefully Black Goat shows up soon.
3 Barrier instead of Black Goat Laughs??? Or instead of Daruma? If it's instead of Daruma hell no, they are way different, they hit decks very differently
@@RGARDL especially in those situations, D Barrier wins you the game. Daruma has to be played at a right moment to buy you a turn but if it gets destroyed/forced before the explosion you're done. Same for Black Goat Laughs, there are multiple ways for a Deck to play their lines, if you say Albion they can go Lubellion, if you say Chimera 2100ATK they go for the 2400ATK, Hughin and they can still summon other Runick fusions, etc. Same for Rituals, you shut them down with D Barrier or they can still summon other names if you used Black Goat Laughs or they can still Tribute their Face Down monsters if you used Daruma So, they are very different traps for very different matches/meta environment
@SlebenGates u see , thing with that is ,u are going blind second a and u are playing 3 Arias and 9 furniture's, I personally play that deck , simular build , and navarre did that happen to me and never did I not manage to pull it off , if u can pull of daruma going second , then u can pull of d barrier, and u can do all that before he even played anything to out d,barrier
People really go to extreme lengths to try and turn Lab into a combo deck. Not big on this build at all, but it must have been a decent meta call cause he did well.
You must not watch many deck profiles. This guy sounded like a genius compared to most people who win tournaments, and at least he provided reasoning for basically all of his choices.
Bonfire realistucally isn't getting hit since it's too new and too expensive, however it doesn't need a ban though a limit like rota can be argued. Ash to 1 is kinda dumb imo
@@jimtsap04 I would agree ash to one isnt the best, bc consistency hits arent all that relevant. Would be better to see something like original banned, oak banned, flamberge limited

That was really cool. been seing more of the phantasmay/impulse going 2nd pckg recently
Sounds like YCS hogwarts up in here.
