"Oh hey Tear got made reasonable, maybe I'll get back into YGO. Hey man what's meta now?" "Zonelock Macro Cosmos stun." "Great! See you next format then!"
This is literally me right now I quit when pendulums came out because I was like the game is way too fast and I think the meta deck when they first came out was absolutely ridiculous. The qi? I just returned to the game spent $200 updating my crystal beast deck because of the new structure decks Just to find out the deck to be 100% craps on my game plan. I already spent all this money so I'm not going to quit again but it is it is discouraging already, Or I'm going to need two more copies of that big rock cuz I only ordered one copy thinking oh I only need one in the deck But after seeing this three is definitely a necessity
Wow. I think that third duel in the best of three is the first time I've sped up a TMT because I knew exactly where it was going, and Joseph wasn't fast enough. Not looking forward to seeing this one in Master Duel.
If MBT is right and it's only so good because everything else got hit harder, then based on the way MD tends to do banlists (very lightly as evidenced by the Runick "hits") it might not be the #1 meta pick. Regardless it will be exceptionally unfun whenever it does come up, especially by virtue of being 1-off duels
Hey!, big fan here Joe!. I was going to suggest you to do a "personal ban/veto" of that broken af shit and just insta-scoop at the first Kash card played (Like I'm doing when I get matched vs Runick stun/Spright Runick). (Since I mostly just play rogue/T2/T3 decks and that shit's so broken that I literally have 0% chance of beating them and just don't wanna lose the time or experience their end-boards (Konami please kill Fountain). But then I remembered your monthly climb to Diamond that you do with Rogue, T2, T3 decks. Its going to be a grim future for that series for sure Hardleg :(
It's not a budget option but literally deck list from last ycs vegas champion. This is list slightly modified if im not wrong but the point is to make consistent setup not easily broke or sometimes just ariseheart pass.
A lot of people point out the zone lock as a non game, but there are a lot of other cases that are just as bad. Eradicator on spells? You've got nothing to play. Skill Drain and you don't have an out? Guess you die. There are so many "draw the out or you lose" situations that I feel get swept under the rug. I respect a good back and forth, but Yugioh is a game about stopping your opponent one way or the other. Kashtira just makes it more visible. Ban Diablosis btw.
They were the illusion of games. You were still gonna lose, but you just had more turns to pretend. Both decks are broken, but Kashtira is just being a bit more in-your-face. We need an emergency ban list for Mind Hacker and the other Xyz, this deck will become way more fair, and other decks will be able to shine

I remember watching a Kashtira deck profile that was posted before photon hypernova and they played fking instant contact for a free level 7 to go into harmonizer gradielle which was the most based stuff I’ve ever seen before I saw the zone locking
Yeah it was a common card we basically have to play, since base Kashtira doesn't do much. You're running cards like Dragonic Knight, Mekk-Knights and Instant Contact solely to get L7s on the board.
They knew Kashtira's comeback ability is basically nothing. In any other matchup that'd be a bad idea, but you don't need a full kit to beat a crippled Kashtira.
They had Beaver, Blue and Thrust to play through one unknown in hand and a set Preparations they knew about. There's literally nothing they could banish that would change the outcome of the game. Anything other than holding the Nib until the very end would have been objectively incorrect
i think the entire visas storyline is going to be about konami testing forms of interaction and resource management that have yet to be really tested in yugioh, at least in a good few years. i get *why* they thought giving a deck consistent access to better ghost reaper + macro on mommy drident's legs + zone lock would be something to experiment, but i think anyone with an nth of a braincell should have tried to stop them months before they designed fenrir.
While I'm sure they must be terrible to play against, I really like how Kashtiras thematically represent conquest. They take away land (Shangri-Ira), bring in opressive laws (Ariseheart) and bring in enforcers to react to any resistance (Fenrir) or try to choke it out before it happens (Unicorn, Ogre).
What I can’t stand about Kash is how utterly oppressive it is and how clearly beatable it is. It loses hard to a bunch of side deck options, yet if you don’t draw the out you lose!
Yeah, I definitely agree on that last point. This deck is just boring. It either autopilots itself to a win or it just dies. It's boring to use, boring to play against and boring to watch. I guess it's the deck to beat right now but I personally hope it doesn't stick around.
Unfortunately. It'll prolly be around for a while outside of banlists. Khashtira is unique that it does lose more than tear. But you specifically need to play a critical mass of the counters to win consistently because if you don't draw the out on turn 1, you auto lose. Which leaves you much weaker against every other decks in the format. So you either build your deck to beat Kash or everyone else. Because Kash has ways of playing around some of it's counters. So you basically need all of them.
Sadly true, kashtira games are so boring, if you draw evenly nibiru the deck literaly flops, and if you floodgate or book of moon them then the game is just “go next”
Im a casual so this might be a done question but why is this deck not banned it can lock almost all my zones and banish cards off my deck, do we need another emergency banlist?
Because it just release. We need to wait month for new banlist. And while it annoying to play against, it isnt that much stronger compare to other deck. It just very boring to play against.
Its a very powerful FTK deck it feels like. The game ends if you pull off the combo before the opponent gets to play, and if you get outed, you just cry and seethe and say "game2?"
I said it before and I’ll say it again. The only positive about Kashtira matchups is that it’s over quickly. Either Kash wins or it doesn’t, and the match is likely decided in like 15 minutes so you can stop wasting your time and just break for lunch until time runs out.
It´s really funny looking at TMt from different months and how everytime Joseph tests the best deck of the format the comment sections are full of people guaranteeing that this will definitivelly kill yugioh for the 14th time this decade, tear spright apparently killed yugioh 8 months ago and brave a year ago,etc., or cursing konami´s guts on the top of their lungs and how playing yugioh is literally torture, am i missing something? , are there konami employees forcing people to play or watch every competitive format at gunpoint or something? what´s with all the melodrama and over the top reaction?
I can't believe how different the game was when Tearalaments Ishizu cause many players to drop the most use Hand Traps and it felt... bad. Not for that but how hard it was to deal with the deck but now... this is MUCH more depressing! Either you lose instantly or you get FTK. And now we're back to Big Rock and Feet. Kinda crazy.
That game 3 against labrynth kinda shows my problem with kash, they can open really ignorant pretty easily. Iblee plus full back row lock is kinda crazy. Yet conversely it's kinda shit too, that hand lost to a single book of moon more or less going second. There's a lot of hands that are ignorant going first but just fold to interaction going second. The zone locking at least has more outs than the floo boards of old did. The only card that is really ignorant is arise heart as well.
@@shawnjavery It's dreadful that Iblee is used even more effective here than before... and how the damn card in 2023 is a menace even in Duel Links meta no less Book of Moon being used an easy way to trigger more locks. Still, I feel no love for this current meta especially in RL since Kash is ridicules to build due to their prices.
Boring? Hah. You called Swordsoul boring, but you love the deck _now._ Hit Kashtira, Let the meta overtake Kashtira, then unleash Kashtira and tell me it's boring. No but seriously hard limit Shangri Ira PLEASE.
Hmmm, Complete zone locks or U-linking, Hard to decide which is worse tbh. At least we got an Awesome rap to soften the blow that is this steaming Pile of Kash!
I was in a dilemma whether to get this or not. I really like the banish face-down especially from the extra deck, but the deck skewed more towards shangri la and zone locking, which wasn't fun
As soon as I return to Yu-Gi-Oh since the beginning of pendulums. Of course the meta deck as a deck that will crap on mine (I decided to return because the deck I've had since 2007 got support through a structure deck it's my crystal beast) their entire game plan craps on everything I am trying to do that's insane
as funny as that frase is after a million times, seeing as people also hated the meta interactive deck , maybe it´s time for a lot of players to be honest and admit actually they don´t like yu gioh and just move on to something else
@@eldavid8774 the problem with too interactive decks IMo is that the gamestates can become too dense, like, in tear mirrors, it's extremely commun to have huge chains that lead into more mill chains, which although it can be interesting to watch how it unfolds, it takes tool of the viewer experience.
@@KingVerus they hated it before it was tier 0 have you seen the comments on the tear ten minute testing? I was promised that the deck would kill the game a year ago and here we are still Malding over cardboard
Tear was a insta win against anything that was not Tear or opened and played Shifter. In contrast Kash is telegraphed AF and can die to conventional handtraps. In comparation with Full Power Tear this archetype is more tamer and limiting Shangri Ira resolves the problem of being capable of locking all the field turn one.
@@Helem5XG tear is insanely fun, does interesting things, and is skill testing Kashtira is bullshit zone lock turbo+macro cosmo and if you draw the out you instantly win
@@flogos989 at the end is just a matter of perspective. I don't like the concept of a deck milling my own deck and making my GY unusable. It killed my locals because where I live cards are somewhat expensive and there's always THAT guy that has the newest meta deck bullying people. With Kash at least the price of entry is absurly more higher and I just need to main deck handtraps in any deck i have to play the game in comparation of "Just draw Shifter and don't use the GY bro"
I stopped playing ygo for like 4 years, got interested again when I saw that there was a traptrix structure deck in walmart so i decided to test for a bit with a friend, had a ton of fun for a couple of games then he tells me "hey, wanna see the current meta?" Sure, why not. Takes a minute building kashtira just throwing all of them into a deck. Game 1, tells me "Look, i have no idea what they do, but I'm not gonna read it, just gonna double click and whenever the game prompts me to chain I'll do it without watching" 30 secs later half my deck was gone, and half my zones were locked. Yeah, I'm not playing yugioh again lmao.
Wow, this deck looks even worse against Lava Golem than I originally expected. Though that zone locking is way more conaistent than it has any right to be. And people still think Deep Draw is an issue when stuff like this is allowed?
Love that the most annoying garbage decks in OCG and TCG, Runick Stun and Kash, revolve around banishing opponent's cards for free, and stunning, with both needing VERY specific outs. LOVE post-Tear formats! Very high skilled and DIEVERSE.
How tear and Kash even made it out of Konami's design department is a wonder. Last three formats have literally been "spend a deposit on a car's worth of money on a deck, your opponents won't even be able to play against you unless they hard-draw the out bro or play exactly the same thing as you"
Looking at how the paper formats and Master Duel are playing out, it's clear that Konami's philosophy behind card design isn't working. Everything is devolving into "barf out floodgates that turn off 80%+ of your opponent's deck" because the cards simply do too much and there's no cost to anything. "Discard a card"-benefit, not a cost. "Pay LP"-doesn't matter when everything is an OTK or locks your opponent from playing. "Banish"-benefit, not a cost. "Banish face down" is the only cost, but right now it's used almost exclusively as a way of harming the opponent by milling their deck. If decks are going to be like this, counterplay needs to be a given for the player going second. If the whole goal of the game is going to be "stop the opponent from playing anything", there needs to be a guarantee that the opponent can try to do something. Give the player going second a guaranteed hand trap of their choice or something so that if a deck that dies to Nib or Imperm but has no counterplay other than those crops up, then they don't get free wins off the coin toss. Make Player 1 have to deal with interaction, force decks to be built around knowing that you're going to be interrupted, and start adding actual costs to cards. We keep lurching from "negate everything" to "floodgate" to "negate everything" formats back and forth, and there's no appeal to these games of Yu-Gi-Oh Solitaire. There's back-and-forth gameplay that Yugi-Boomers are saying is gone is legitimately gone at this point. Games are being settled in Turn 0 now before you can even play a single card if you go second. Konami needs to decide if this game is Solitaire or an actual contest between two people, and take a hard look at why the TCG, OCG, and MD are all stuck in "floodgate/negate everything turn 1" mode.
They laughed....they all laughed when Ojama King locked 3 zones and Ojama Knight locked 2...but now look...as the Ojama Powered Orbtial Blast tears apart their field, as they feel the wrath of a thousand Ojama King's and tremble under Ground Collapse's on legs, what do they do!? They grovel, plead, and kneel to the reincarnation...Ojama Lockdown never died! They simply learned...the power of Capitalism and Colonialism!
I love the tinfoil hat theory that Konami designed the archetype this way to get people to buy multiples of 1-of extra deck staples like Zeus and Accesscode
Please MBT..... Don't believe in TheBoomerGuy's opinion on the game!!! You should rejoice how Yugioh has come this far from interacting with your opponent (multiple times) to zero interactions at all!!! It's peak at it's best!!!!
I'm almost certain that Konami is just seeing how far they can go with printing absolutely bonkers cards until they finally decide to completely reboot and rework the game for MR5. We're reaching the limits of insanity over here. And also budget, otherwise, by 2025, people will start to sell their arms just to buy a coupon for a chance to be in line to buy a single archetypal card of a tier 2 deck.
Every archetype in the game should get a field spell on this level. Along with a link 1 to search it. And a negate of some kind or disruption of some form.
Kashtira is for people who don't want anyone else to play YGO. The deck has a universal hatred for every other deck on general principle. It has all the personality & flavor of that kid on the playground who brings a nuclear arsenal to every game of pretend. Decks custom-built to commit war crimes against rival archetypes are nicer than this. Kashtira players don't even bother learning what deck they're playing against because it simply won't matter. To those who play them, I highly recommend the game Rock, Paper, Scissors. It's a lot cheaper, a lot faster, and you still get to say "I win", but there's an actual interaction with the other player.
This is one of those decks where i look at it and just think: God konami fucking hates yugioh. It's like they're printing these decks just to get everyone else to hate it too and stop playing the game.
Why does Labrynth vs Kashtira remind me of Adamancipator Eldlich format? It's just a stupid unfun combo deck and a stupid unfun trap deck that both just prevent you from playing the game. 15:01 really making me feel like this comment was unnecessary tbh. At least I can take solace in the fact that if I have a zone to activate small world I can search lava golem or a kaiju.
As a blind go second fan, I am more than happy to run 3 of Nib, Lava Golem and Sphere. Staples that get more and more ageless. Especially Golem, got me some of those in the early days for stall burn strategies, now I use them to delete problems.
That best of 3 was so painful to watch. He who floodgates first wins who needs interaction. Going from one shit format to another is giving me flash backs to the V-rain era and how we went from one FTK format to another.
The last format was good. They should have been lighter on the Tear hits to make it be able to compete instead of just killing it so we get Zone Lock Turbo vs. Big Rock.
@@orga7777 last format was ass. Exact same deck over and over. The only real skill being the opening hand and whether or not you milled correctly. Tear deserved to get gutted the way it did and Im hoping the same happens to Kashtira.
The key to recovery is to have more extenders. In my deck I can extend to full board and still have cards in hand that will build me a strong board just in case.
Shangra ira needs an emergency ban. I don't care if kashtira gets power crept out of existence that card needs to go on the forbidden section and never come off. I would take Maxx c, pot of greed, graceful charity all at three over that card even being at 1.
@@thezestylime0989 I think any card that blocks zones should be banned. It just says you can't play the game. The only reason why I am fine with the ojama cards blocking zones is because that archetype is complete garbage and they can only block monster zones so at best it is a funny gimmick that can be gotten rid of be evenly matched or something like that. Any competent archetype should never be allowed to block zones. I would even be more fine with shangra ira if it said you had to detach to use it and you could only control 1 then maybe it would be balanced enough to be at 1.
Good news! NOthig in the next set will be better than this. Manadome kinda just sucks. I guess there is Purrely. Nothing else interesting will be around.
Shangri ira is basically a non factor if diablosis is banned, your opponent would basically have to not try for you to lock all of their zones without that card
Hey mbt, I recommend cutting droplet bc you won’t be able to use it under ariseheart or shifter. Other then that nice list bro! I hope you had fun running it and I loved the skit!
Local man produces enough salt to cause unbanned Tearlaments to shrivel and die. Joesph talking about Kashtira in the same seething tone as someone who stole their former lover, which is basically what happened.

Because it just release. We need to wait month for new banlist. And while it annoying to play against, it isnt that much stronger compare to other deck. It just very boring to play against.
"The angry twink under darklaw" has me dying
Its a very powerful FTK deck it feels like. The game ends if you pull off the combo before the opponent gets to play, and if you get outed, you just cry and seethe and say "game2?"
This deck is going to be popular in MD since they don't like interacting with their opponents.
Spright Live Twin is already running wild, it's literally just Scythe turbo because ofc it's not banned
I'm a tri-brigade/spright player on MD. I love interaction. Can't wait for Tearlament to come out. EVEN MORE INTERACTION!
Bro it's popular in the TCG too, Yu-Gi-Oh! players don't like this game (myself included)
This deck is already popular in the TCG since they don't like interacting with their opponents.
I want this deck on MD just so I can splash it into Speedroid.
I said it before and I’ll say it again. The only positive about Kashtira matchups is that it’s over quickly. Either Kash wins or it doesn’t, and the match is likely decided in like 15 minutes so you can stop wasting your time and just break for lunch until time runs out.
It´s really funny looking at TMt from different months and how everytime Joseph tests the best deck of the format the comment sections are full of people guaranteeing that this will definitivelly kill yugioh for the 14th time this decade, tear spright apparently killed yugioh 8 months ago and brave a year ago,etc., or cursing konami´s guts on the top of their lungs and how playing yugioh is literally torture, am i missing something? , are there konami employees forcing people to play or watch every competitive format at gunpoint or something? what´s with all the melodrama and over the top reaction?
Shangri-Ira should really be a hard once per turn
I feel like a single limit to Shangri-Ira would completely fix this deck, while not completely killing it.
Kash players would just start ripping each other's IRA and it would murder the mirror.
@@Powerman293 and?
Not completely killing it? Nah, we want this deck dead. Hell, it shouldn't have been made just like tears. Who let konami cook?
I can't believe how different the game was when Tearalaments Ishizu cause many players to drop the most use Hand Traps and it felt... bad. Not for that but how hard it was to deal with the deck but now... this is MUCH more depressing! Either you lose instantly or you get FTK. And now we're back to Big Rock and Feet. Kinda crazy.
That game 3 against labrynth kinda shows my problem with kash, they can open really ignorant pretty easily. Iblee plus full back row lock is kinda crazy. Yet conversely it's kinda shit too, that hand lost to a single book of moon more or less going second. There's a lot of hands that are ignorant going first but just fold to interaction going second. The zone locking at least has more outs than the floo boards of old did. The only card that is really ignorant is arise heart as well.
@@shawnjavery It's dreadful that Iblee is used even more effective here than before... and how the damn card in 2023 is a menace even in Duel Links meta no less Book of Moon being used an easy way to trigger more locks. Still, I feel no love for this current meta especially in RL since Kash is ridicules to build due to their prices.
The musical number was truly beautiful a work of true art!
The intro was necessary to help pay for the deck
Boring? Hah. You called Swordsoul boring, but you love the deck _now._ Hit Kashtira, Let the meta overtake Kashtira, then unleash Kashtira and tell me it's boring.
No but seriously hard limit Shangri Ira PLEASE.
Hmmm, Complete zone locks or U-linking, Hard to decide which is worse tbh.
At least we got an Awesome rap to soften the blow that is this steaming Pile of Kash!
Gumblar rips was worse lol. U links were draw the out but at least you had a few of them imo.
"Banish it and Lock it, I've got this on my pocket" is such a great line, King Scarlet is a legend
I was in a dilemma whether to get this or not. I really like the banish face-down especially from the extra deck, but the deck skewed more towards shangri la and zone locking, which wasn't fun
As soon as I return to Yu-Gi-Oh since the beginning of pendulums. Of course the meta deck as a deck that will crap on mine (I decided to return because the deck I've had since 2007 got support through a structure deck it's my crystal beast) their entire game plan craps on everything I am trying to do that's insane
Didn't even bring up the Nordic Match Up and how Jormangandr beats the whole archetype
These intros are like superbowl halftime show, you can only watch them and feel satisfied enough to leave and not watch the "main event"
I am surprised so many people like this format.
Yugioh players love decks that just hand them easy wins
What an interactive deck! I LOVE YU-GI-OH!
as funny as that frase is after a million times, seeing as people also hated the meta interactive deck , maybe it´s time for a lot of players to be honest and admit actually they don´t like yu gioh and just move on to something else
@EL David The meta interactive deck that was literally tier 0? Color me shocked that people hated it lol.
@@eldavid8774 the problem with too interactive decks IMo is that the gamestates can become too dense, like, in tear mirrors, it's extremely commun to have huge chains that lead into more mill chains, which although it can be interesting to watch how it unfolds, it takes tool of the viewer experience.
@@KingVerus they hated it before it was tier 0 have you seen the comments on the tear ten minute testing? I was promised that the deck would kill the game a year ago and here we are still Malding over cardboard
@@eldavid8774Agreed, it is funny how so many complained about TOO MUCH interaction last format... Look how far we've come
This song better be on Apple music by the time this video is done
MBT talks about Kash the same way everyone talked to him about Tear last format. I'm not saying either is right or wrong but it's pretty funny.
Tear was a insta win against anything that was not Tear or opened and played Shifter.
In contrast Kash is telegraphed AF and can die to conventional handtraps.
In comparation with Full Power Tear this archetype is more tamer and limiting Shangri Ira resolves the problem of being capable of locking all the field turn one.
@@Helem5XG tear is insanely fun, does interesting things, and is skill testing
Kashtira is bullshit zone lock turbo+macro cosmo and if you draw the out you instantly win
@@flogos989 at the end is just a matter of perspective.
I don't like the concept of a deck milling my own deck and making my GY unusable. It killed my locals because where I live cards are somewhat expensive and there's always THAT guy that has the newest meta deck bullying people.
With Kash at least the price of entry is absurly more higher and I just need to main deck handtraps in any deck i have to play the game in comparation of "Just draw Shifter and don't use the GY bro"
@@flogos989 🤓
I still say that they should've just gone with Kashtirapotheosis. If you're gonna make a weird name, just go all the way, not just 70% the way.
Still after 10 months this is probably my favorite opening skit to one of the TMTs
It’s weird that a top tier deck is basically just a competent version of the Ojama playstyle.
Who knew the missing ingredient was V-Sauce Colonialism?
The real missing ingredient was playable cards lmao
I stopped playing ygo for like 4 years, got interested again when I saw that there was a traptrix structure deck in walmart so i decided to test for a bit with a friend, had a ton of fun for a couple of games then he tells me "hey, wanna see the current meta?" Sure, why not.
Takes a minute building kashtira just throwing all of them into a deck.
Game 1, tells me "Look, i have no idea what they do, but I'm not gonna read it, just gonna double click and whenever the game prompts me to chain I'll do it without watching"
30 secs later half my deck was gone, and half my zones were locked.
Yeah, I'm not playing yugioh again lmao.
Either your friend was joking or got an insane hand
Also kashtira is a massive glass cannon, the spright game in this video is a decent example
ow boy, seeing the match against labrynth after the YCS incident really made me giggle
Wow, this deck looks even worse against Lava Golem than I originally expected. Though that zone locking is way more conaistent than it has any right to be. And people still think Deep Draw is an issue when stuff like this is allowed?
….yeah these last few formats have made me glad my locals is pretty casual. Least I’ll probably only have to deal with one person running this irl…
Maybe we should get more special zones that can’t be blocked like the EMZ and field spell zone. Making the Pend zones immune to block for example
Yeah, the fact that just one zone lock from Kash can completely kill a pendulum deck is just the next level of pend hate
Ojama King: who are you?
Shangri-Ira: I'm you, but good
Love that the most annoying garbage decks in OCG and TCG, Runick Stun and Kash, revolve around banishing opponent's cards for free, and stunning, with both needing VERY specific outs.
LOVE post-Tear formats! Very high skilled and DIEVERSE.
I feel like this deck requires a phrase from days long past.
“…aaaaand stop me if you have you seen this one before!”
Let's be honest. Tear format was more fun than this.
How tear and Kash even made it out of Konami's design department is a wonder. Last three formats have literally been "spend a deposit on a car's worth of money on a deck, your opponents won't even be able to play against you unless they hard-draw the out bro or play exactly the same thing as you"
I want the people who made them fired lol, should have never let them cook
Looking at how the paper formats and Master Duel are playing out, it's clear that Konami's philosophy behind card design isn't working. Everything is devolving into "barf out floodgates that turn off 80%+ of your opponent's deck" because the cards simply do too much and there's no cost to anything. "Discard a card"-benefit, not a cost. "Pay LP"-doesn't matter when everything is an OTK or locks your opponent from playing. "Banish"-benefit, not a cost. "Banish face down" is the only cost, but right now it's used almost exclusively as a way of harming the opponent by milling their deck.
If decks are going to be like this, counterplay needs to be a given for the player going second. If the whole goal of the game is going to be "stop the opponent from playing anything", there needs to be a guarantee that the opponent can try to do something. Give the player going second a guaranteed hand trap of their choice or something so that if a deck that dies to Nib or Imperm but has no counterplay other than those crops up, then they don't get free wins off the coin toss. Make Player 1 have to deal with interaction, force decks to be built around knowing that you're going to be interrupted, and start adding actual costs to cards. We keep lurching from "negate everything" to "floodgate" to "negate everything" formats back and forth, and there's no appeal to these games of Yu-Gi-Oh Solitaire.
There's back-and-forth gameplay that Yugi-Boomers are saying is gone is legitimately gone at this point. Games are being settled in Turn 0 now before you can even play a single card if you go second. Konami needs to decide if this game is Solitaire or an actual contest between two people, and take a hard look at why the TCG, OCG, and MD are all stuck in "floodgate/negate everything turn 1" mode.
The best deck in MD is Runick Spright and it doesn't really play floodgates except for very targeted stuff like Rai-oh.
What? Master duel is awesome right now it’s just a bunch of runick spright mirrors
that opening was baller status keep it coming mbt
They laughed....they all laughed when Ojama King locked 3 zones and Ojama Knight locked 2...but now look...as the Ojama Powered Orbtial Blast tears apart their field, as they feel the wrath of a thousand Ojama King's and tremble under Ground Collapse's on legs, what do they do!? They grovel, plead, and kneel to the reincarnation...Ojama Lockdown never died! They simply learned...the power of Capitalism and Colonialism!
It's shocking that you can lock over half of your opponents board before they start their turn and people still complain about despia
I love the tinfoil hat theory that Konami designed the archetype this way to get people to buy multiples of 1-of extra deck staples like Zeus and Accesscode
It was funny when ojamas did it. But not anymore 😭
Please MBT..... Don't believe in TheBoomerGuy's opinion on the game!!! You should rejoice how Yugioh has come this far from interacting with your opponent (multiple times) to zero interactions at all!!! It's peak at it's best!!!!
I'm almost certain that Konami is just seeing how far they can go with printing absolutely bonkers cards until they finally decide to completely reboot and rework the game for MR5. We're reaching the limits of insanity over here.
And also budget, otherwise, by 2025, people will start to sell their arms just to buy a coupon for a chance to be in line to buy a single archetypal card of a tier 2 deck.
Every archetype in the game should get a field spell on this level. Along with a link 1 to search it. And a negate of some kind or disruption of some form.
We basically need a field spell that just say spell speed 4 nuke the board but you can't use the field zone again.
@@waiyon1951 Mine, but thats gone ig
@@ixchel3330 yeah.
They need to make an archtype that fucks with banished cards more to mess with Kashtira. We need the game to be even more complex for no reason.
Kashtira is for people who don't want anyone else to play YGO. The deck has a universal hatred for every other deck on general principle. It has all the personality & flavor of that kid on the playground who brings a nuclear arsenal to every game of pretend.
Decks custom-built to commit war crimes against rival archetypes are nicer than this. Kashtira players don't even bother learning what deck they're playing against because it simply won't matter.
To those who play them, I highly recommend the game Rock, Paper, Scissors. It's a lot cheaper, a lot faster, and you still get to say "I win", but there's an actual interaction with the other player.
That’s true, but I only get joy out of other people’s misery so this deck is perfect for me
Kash might be one of the least fun archetypes the game has seen
This intro on the other hand though, godlike
This is one of those decks where i look at it and just think: God konami fucking hates yugioh. It's like they're printing these decks just to get everyone else to hate it too and stop playing the game.
Why does Labrynth vs Kashtira remind me of Adamancipator Eldlich format? It's just a stupid unfun combo deck and a stupid unfun trap deck that both just prevent you from playing the game.
15:01 really making me feel like this comment was unnecessary tbh. At least I can take solace in the fact that if I have a zone to activate small world I can search lava golem or a kaiju.
Nah the comment is necessary because there shouldn't be decks in any format where you either draw the out or scoop
Because both formats had uninteractive decks that hard lost to specific cards, but can be good as long as those cards aren't drawn
Going first ive never lost to Kash. But my luck drawing kaijus and whatnot on the flipside is unbeatably bad.
we got a deck with cool mech samurais instead of AI generated waifus and it's the most boring deck to play.
thanks konami...
As a blind go second fan, I am more than happy to run 3 of Nib, Lava Golem and Sphere. Staples that get more and more ageless. Especially Golem, got me some of those in the early days for stall burn strategies, now I use them to delete problems.
This deck is such a gamble lmao. Modern version of magic ftk with less thinking
Dang, who knew Joseph and king scarlet could make such a banger rap about the kash
That best of 3 was so painful to watch. He who floodgates first wins who needs interaction. Going from one shit format to another is giving me flash backs to the V-rain era and how we went from one FTK format to another.
The last format was good. They should have been lighter on the Tear hits to make it be able to compete instead of just killing it so we get Zone Lock Turbo vs. Big Rock.
@@orga7777 last format was ass. Exact same deck over and over. The only real skill being the opening hand and whether or not you milled correctly. Tear deserved to get gutted the way it did and Im hoping the same happens to Kashtira.
@@Tokumastu1 Someone missed the nuances of the game if you think that is all the matches were in the mirror.
@@orga7777 someone has never heard of the dunning kruger effect. But I got better things to do than waste time arguing such a person.
The key to recovery is to have more extenders. In my deck I can extend to full board and still have cards in hand that will build me a strong board just in case.
Shangra ira needs an emergency ban. I don't care if kashtira gets power crept out of existence that card needs to go on the forbidden section and never come off. I would take Maxx c, pot of greed, graceful charity all at three over that card even being at 1.
@@thezestylime0989 I think any card that blocks zones should be banned. It just says you can't play the game. The only reason why I am fine with the ojama cards blocking zones is because that archetype is complete garbage and they can only block monster zones so at best it is a funny gimmick that can be gotten rid of be evenly matched or something like that. Any competent archetype should never be allowed to block zones. I would even be more fine with shangra ira if it said you had to detach to use it and you could only control 1 then maybe it would be balanced enough to be at 1.
Good news! NOthig in the next set will be better than this. Manadome kinda just sucks. I guess there is Purrely. Nothing else interesting will be around.
Shangri ira is basically a non factor if diablosis is banned, your opponent would basically have to not try for you to lock all of their zones without that card
First he plays a congressman, then releases the most fire track of 2023. What can't MBT do?
I only saw the art of the cards since they are comming to MD, loved the art, shame it is such a gimmick garbage deck
Finally all those custom DeviantArt Yugioh cards using Link Joker art will come in handy
So when is MBT's next album dropping, i need more.
Hey mbt, I recommend cutting droplet bc you won’t be able to use it under ariseheart or shifter. Other then that nice list bro! I hope you had fun running it and I loved the skit!
Holy....This looks so lame. Can't wait to watch this deck get banned into obscurity.
Local man produces enough salt to cause unbanned Tearlaments to shrivel and die.
Joesph talking about Kashtira in the same seething tone as someone who stole their former lover, which is basically what happened.
Ahhhh Kashtira or as I call it- The Link Joker of Yu-Gi-Oh
