This is definitely my favorite view you do for deck profiles. Please continue to keep this format for the video. The overview and all cards being shown is so nice. Also would love to know how you side deck. I still cant get it down. Figuring out what to get rid of and what to bring in.
I'll do the all the cards at once for updates on profile, it's faster. For new profiles, I like to give a little insight to my cards doing card for card
@@MSTTV that makes sense, especially in case of going through what the cards do and how they are used. Thanks for the reply keep up the good work in the hobby!!
I really like your version of deck profiles and thoughts about why cards are in the deck and what purpose they serve in the matchups. As a new player sometimes I’m unsure why cards are added to do what I’m certain instances so thanks for this one! Looking forward to your next guide video coming up! I’m still torn between pure and tenyi version uwu
A friend recommended this video to me. I'm working on making Swordsoul as well. I have two Mo Ye only; no copies of Ecclesia yet. I have been looking at the True Draco build. I might give that a try until I can afford another Mo Ye. I have the rest of the stuff at least.
Instead of vishuda, I use aspice swordsoul due to it acts like a handtrap again veiler/imperm on your lv 4’s, then make consistent lv 10’s too and more room in your extra deck for other outs
@@Ser-- itself helps makes the level 10’s easier, more versatile in any game state, not really dependents on another card to do something (no monk needed and people are learning to just get rid of the monk and you lose) it’s easier to search (you don’t need a synchro to search it/revive it off emergence/sacred mountain like players force their fields to just to do that for vishuda) and most importantly, make the opponent lose their hand traps easier while you have your crossouts live for their 2nd/key disruption. I had to stop playing tenyi due to locals learning how to kill off that variant easier and been doing better without the tenyi’s period (still use beserker)
@@aurabeast2468 lol like main swordsoul combo is so interuptable i dont see why not run tenyis, besides most builds play 2-3 monk as it helps in the grind game plus if your opponent pops monk vishuda just traded with interuption anyhow so i dont see the problem.
Tenyis offer so much to the deck in terms of breaking boards and followup that playing completely pure not even with DPE sounds pretty bad tbh. Obviously the deck is pretty strong in itself and WILL win no matter how you built it (especially for local level gameplay), but I feel like Tenyi is the most optimal build. They help play around Nibiru just like Crossout but unlike Crossout they can be used going second to force interrupts. Plus I feel that the pure deck lacks enough names to consistently see 2 of them and in the right combination. Pure Swordsoul feels like a worse version of pure Tri-Brigade that does not have Revolt to fall back to if its plays get stopped. Also Archnemeses Protos is insane in the deck and not playing it definitely wrong, regardless of build.
Tenyi engine is not as good as you think it is. when you play Ashuna they lock you into Wyrms. Vishuda and adhara are the best tenyi engine than Ashuna idk why most of peopls builts have 3 ashuna! it locks you in! then you have to play 3 vessels which are literally terrible cards! where you can play other cards to help you grind or break boards! Vishuda itself helps break boards! I built this deck because of the art work but i already knew this deck was mid tier asf! and its basic asf! i kept looking at it in the oc before it dropped in the tcg! its not as good pure or with the tenyi engine or even with the DHero engine Pure can still be good but its a grinding game
@@mannywhiskey7872 and what swordsoul synchro arent wyrm? You can play around nibiru while your zenolocked so the only downside is no baroness but still you dont need him to go for game or set up interuption.
@@Q67-m7z you do need baroness but ok! chi xao has limitations when you run out of swordsoul/wyrm monsters to banish! and alot of decks are cutting longyaun and taia to 2 to max out on tenyi and vessel is the dumbest shit ever lol but you go on and think vessel is broken lol i knew the tenyi engine was ok but its still a mid teir deck and adding vessle lol nah its a terrible card lol ieven PAK said its a terrible card lol but you go on say its broken lol
I took my swordsoul deck to my locals last Sunday. I went x-2 :( I was only running 4 handtraps and the instant fusion never came up for me so I might change it up. I was running 2 ash and 2 imperm, might do 3 imperm instead.Thanks for the content!
Midrange deck, that claps on the crack back as long as your opponent doesn’t break your entire board. Tenyi variant loses to scythe and other floodgates, DPE variant loses some consistency, but better grind.
What were your match-ups Tom? I am currently playing a going second build, I have a sneaking suspicion that to stay ahead of the curb, I need to put handtraps back in and swap to a going first build. (to stay ahead of the curve)

I tried it! it rarely comes up! Pot of prosperity is legit better but at the same time! you need your extra deck for the grind game! pot of desires is hard to play helps you dig into the deck but banishing cards like you have 1 copy of sucks
More or less has to do with the way the deck plays, this deck isn't that great in the grind game especially when people only play 1 of the in arctype monster reborn spell. After you set up your board and your opponent manages to break thru it's pretty much gg
Adhara isn't bad, but just does have as many standalone hands where adhara gives me value without the aid of the rest of the tenyi package. I want to see Swordsoul names. I could give it a go see what type of options it offers
@@MSTTV yeah I see. I run it at one. I would just think getting it back to hand and using it as fodder to summon long yuan might be a solid play then you can just have it back in your GY for follow ups if they break your board somehow
I keep losing to floond and similar deck to yours...I go level 9 synchro rather than synch 7...but if floond makes a board...how do you get over...I don't have tactics...any alt?
I have 2 DPE in my collection and fusion destiny and max rarity dasher and celestial. Change desires to prosperity Change chalice for fusions +3 Add 2 monsters Remove the nibiru Update extra deck as well.
It's really a choice because prosperity has its downfall of making the chixiao activation exposed when bother Moye and chixiaos fail to resolve, your playing from behind even with DPE. Enforcer can be punished via Ruddy Rose and a negate/bait play. Again it's about adapting, why I choose not to play enforcer, to reduce drawing into destiny heros and make it difficult to ash anything. I tend to just have bad luck with drawing DPE Pieces into hand (on stream like 4 out of 5 games lol at least 1 piece)
There's less choke but also less flexibility. The tenyi builds I respect and will try it out again! But the tenyi build at my local has consistency issue with DPE in the mix.
@@mannywhiskey7872 well it doesn't actually suck. Because u can choose when to time the ashuna which offers different plays to bypass that restriction.
Getting a free win is a free win. People could grind it out the normal way or... Just main a couple of cheese cards. If you got a locals and 90% of it is floowander..., My main deck will have chalice, and lightning storm and I'm only going 2nd.
I mean it's a testing ground until YCS to help evolve the deck. Back to back wins ;), if you can go x-0, x-1 ,x-0 ,in 13 rounds with a variety of matchups, it's not bad. It can deal with variance. Especially when most builds were floowander, evil twin, d-hero, SS, triDPE, a couple rogues including mystic mine.

Congrats on the wins. It looks like you really put in the work for them, a lot of practice. Deck is super pretty too.

You can't forget to add back Ecclesia. She's mandatory.
Yah she is, but still forget sometimes... Lol improper play occur
Its when you can so if you dont want you dont need to add her back. :)
@@Q67-m7z that's not correct. It says if: add back. Read the card
So if you dnt go 8, 10 play. What do you usually go for. Especially considering it's a mirror?
Super clean haircut Tom!
They don’t call him Thomas “Mo-Ye” Cheung for nothing!
What do you do differently in a regional than a local when deck building ?
Midrange deck, that claps on the crack back as long as your opponent doesn’t break your entire board. Tenyi variant loses to scythe and other floodgates, DPE variant loses some consistency, but better grind.
Tenyi varriant has better grind game tbh and also swordsoul loses to floodgates like sythe regardless of your decklist
@@Q67-m7z better grind I could agree with. Pure variant Losing to scythe is fiction.

You can afford to use desire because you don't play enforcer that's why. Most people play enforcer if there not playing the tenyi build
