I like how we haven’t spoken in over a year, and we independently came to the same conclusion in most of the format and card choices, our main decks are practically identical. Good job bro!
It's always good to see a pro player give insights over deck choices and particular match-ups. Congrats for the 1st place! Your read on board breakers is pretty similar with what I have in mind for the format atm. Going forward, I want to see how well Swordsoul/PK DPE performs to analyze the impact of Archnemeses Protos/Scythe in the meta and how players adapt their deck choices to avoid auto lose conditions, specially when going second. Keep posting videos. You have great content and players starting into the competitive scene can definetly learn a lot with these videos, alongside the pros that can share their thoughts and we all be blessed with pure knowledge.
Awesome to see you back and we always like the same decks don't know why. Congrats and I have a nearly same list but I prefer playing imperma and chalice as well then the dark ruler since its an interruption going first as well. But having more bombs like dark ruler seams correct as well.
In hindsight, I would have sided 3 and cut one lighting storm, eclipse performed a lot better than I thought it would. I didn't actually test the card just went off theory and thank you ❤️
Happy to help 🙂 the link spider is for the shade brigandine to help make verte (verte requires 2 effect monsters) also turning nibiru tokens into link spider allows you to also make verte to play through nibiru. 🙏 Hope that was clear
Have you missed something during the tournament? I think the exact same thing for the artifact package, i tested It a bit and i disliked It for the handtraps as you Say. I would love to talk with you about the deck. So much love JY and welcome back❤️
I would have probably cut the two copies of lightning storm for an extra book of eclipse and maybe 3rd cosmic/solemn judgment and thank you bro much love ❤️
Took this list to OTS championship tourneys this weekend and did pretty great. It is soo good and loads of fun to play. Came 2nd and 9th on Saturday/Sunday respectively. My main struggle was against sky striker, it seems to be a very tough matchup and a lot of folks are playing it at my locals. Any advice on this matchup?
Good job on your results, I am really happy to hear you did well! It depends on what kind of build they are playing, I have switched over to main decking the scythe package so resolving that combo generally will lock them out of their own enforcer access and being able to recycle and search spells via shiz and kagari. Siding heavy on backrow removal should help g2/3 twins, cosmic, duster and if I see floods like there can be only one etc, I will also side reboot vs the deck. I have also added number 80 rhapsody of berserk and this can come up really useful in the grind after 1 to out their enforcer package and banish spells like engage. I still main redoer so redoer can be solid taking spells off the top it can help you grind after t1. Maybe also practice playing vs the deck if you have any friends that run it, so you can brush up on your technical play ie figuring out best ways to play through widow anchor if you have multiple pushes etc. Best of luck at future events 🙏
Atm I haven't cut cards I've actually added them depending on how this weekend goes I may show my updated list and explain my theory behind it, you kinda have to find the right number that allows you to still consistently open combo and see your utility cards like drop/ruler and side cards etc. There's a lot of flexibility with the number of cards you can play and the ratios. Personally I don't like cutting this down to 40 due to the number of engine requirements you have to play fog blades,scythe destiny hero etc
@@jysharif Thank you for your reply!! I look forward to seeing an updated list! I just subscribed to your channel, I checked some of your videos and they are really good and insightful! Can't wait to see more videos from you 💯 😃
@@thegeneral4238 my new list is now live 🙏 I am going to make combo videos in a few days time, I was waiting to release the new deck before doing the combos 🙏🙌
Chalice is a pretty strong substitute, imperm is pretty solid since it's a hand trap and acts as a chalice when drawn as a sixth, also on odd occasion you can negate spells/traps with it, only downside is that it conflicts with shade brigandine. Book of moon and other cards like eclipse can be decent in that it allows you to force out a negate of a card like baron de Fleur but also acts as a trap going first. Hope that helps 🙏
This profile is the most insightful. My deck is identical to yours except I don't play judgment or book of eclipse. I side deck 2 summon limit and 2 dimensional barrier.
@@jysharif I play d barrier because dragon links most powerful extra deck cards are synchro, VW (synchros), swordsouls (synchros), lyrilusc play a lot of xyz, drytrons are rituals. So most of the decks have to just pass or scoop. Plus d barrier can chain to any back row remove cards
@@utopiadagoat8567 downerd is as staple as zues it lets you double zues which is super important for playing through negates. Let's say you play Vs drytron you and you open ruler, you ruler their board summon a level 3 then summon pk overlay for breaksword ATk a monster then m2 downnerd zues you can double zues through the orange light then use pk search shade summon shade into link spider + an extender into verte into DPE. It also let's you zues your op then keep zues for an interruption for their turn if it resolves the first time which is super vital in my opinion.
@@utopiadagoat8567 No worries! I have these kinds of conversations with my friends all the time and you'd be surprised how many times they prove me wrong 😂
Mystic mine was really good, helped force out negations Vs things like baron de Fleur, or helped me lock full boards and zues people under mine. It can be difficult to play under mine as there are so many options and routes and things to play around so it's probably where people in general and myself tend to misplay the most but if you're technically sound for the most part you can get huge value out of mine.
@@darealist2409 I liked judgement for that event since it's still solid Vs backrow decks like edlich/giest and it beats rogue decks that don't rely on spells but mainly monsters, judgement can also negate droplets as well which can be chained to anti spell. Also, if I get handtrapped and wasn't able to combo setting judgement lets me stop their normal summon/main play giving me a turn whereas frag doesn't stop monsters, essentially I chose versatility and coverage over the floodgating ability of anti spell. And no hand traps since I found they were vulnerable to tatics and most decks can play through one handtrap without batting an eye which means I need to open 2 hand traps which would have led me to diluting the deck with hand traps. Board breakers can be drawn as 6th so you don't need as many and they pretty guarantee you out their board unlike handtraps where you can even draw 2 and still get comboed through it. Hope that helps you 💪🙏🙌
@@jysharif was more than I can ask for. Good thing I kept judgments In the side deck.and since I stop using hand traps the deck flows better. Is that your take about hand traps in general? Tbh I like nibiru. But when brave token drop. Griffin gonna be staring at you. So like u said, better to run board breakers.
@@darealist2409 It depends on the format, I've played 15+ hand traps in some formats and less than the average in others. In general hand traps are not as good as board breakers because they suck as the 6th card and you need to play more to be able see them more consistently in your opening 5 which can dilute the power/consistency of your deck. But it all depends on the format, on the decks etc. Post brave is gonna be a bit wild since gryphon eats hand traps 😂 but we just gotta wait and see how it all unfolds in the tcg 👀
Evenly is pretty strong Vs the deck but you can play around it, for the board in the thumbnail - Cl1 Evenly cl2 Redoer cl3 dpe cl4 fog targ rusty cl5 fog targ rusty - Resolve - Dpe pop itself and rusty (both fog to grave) redoer banish itself, evenly banish IP facedown. I have apollusa with 3 negates and you are in your M2 with 5 in hand, good luck. 👀😉
Scythe overperformed for me. At the point you set up scythe handtraps already dropped down and artifact also allows for a better matchup against eldlich and flunder, cause you can set lancea instead and lock them out that way. Dagda is just overall a very flexible card to play atm.
I'm glad it over performed for you. Scythe is super powerful, dagda is really good being able to grab Lancea as well. I think I may drop a breakdown video going into detail about my thoughts around scythe overall. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts once I release my analysis.

I got protos locked once and lost that game luckily I won g1 and G3. It's hard in the format there are a lot of auto wins birds make crazy board with oath, and swordsoul have proto, flunder with statue, pk with scythe it's pretty difficult.

Do you think you will go for the Scythe combo?
At the moment I would not because hand traps are so prevalent but this may change depending on how the format develops

Zues is insane it didn't come up during the event much but in testing it comes up so much. It's an absolute staple in my opinion.
