The current format is so good y’all are really missing out fr. The only parts I don’t like are the expensive staples like the Charmies and fiendsmith but when you play games in the tcg now, they’re consistently going to turn 3-5 which hasn’t happened in idk how long. The games this format produces are fun and interactive even when you are playing rogue because the Ryzeal board isn’t putting up anything degenerate and it can be outed with like two board breakers or even a board breaker plus a strong engine. Sure there are problems within the format (lancea, dweller, d barrier, shifter, etc) but those have been around for a while and we all knew they were going to be problems eventually. But if you actually sat down on duelingbook and played games with fiendsmith or Ryzeal I guarantee you would have tons of fun.
@@Cokevanished Yeah but the price is kind of the issue. Plus loads of degen cards like shifter, d barrier, bysials that just aren't healthy for the game at all. That, and the new xyz in SUDA makes Ryzeal a real degenerate strategy as it can Handloop now. It's honestly spellbook/dragon ruler meta all over again but with more degen staples
@ it’s not anything close to spellbook ruler format 😭 the only way you stopped rulers was with floodgates (ophion, jowgen, crimson blader) but Maliss and Ryzeal can both lose to the ubiquitously played hand traps. Also I think bystials are great for the game, maybe Druiswurm could see a limit but to me they’re no better than a card like fenrir, against certain decks they’re better but it’s not toxic at all. But the format itself is not bad, it’s just expensive, as soon as these cards see a reprint the game will be in a great spot.
@Cokevanished I feel like Bystials overly punish and hit rogue decks mostly. Stuff like Infernity and Galaxy for example. Also the expensive cards probably won't be reprinted until 2026 megatins. But yeah I think if you don't play exactly ryzeal or malis you realistically don't stand a chance hence me comparing it to ruler/spellbook tbh.
@ my point is that the reason ruler spellbook format was bad is not because there’s only two super good decks, it’s that the actual gameplay sucks, and that’s not even true for the dragon ruler mirror. And no one really expects infernity or galaxy to be playable anyways even if the bystials weren’t legal. Also I guarantee the fiendsmith cards will be reprinted in the mega tins this year, and fuwalos already has a confirmed reprint the the newest quarter century set. Maybe what makes the format bad will be the Ryzeal hand loop because it punishes board breakers which work exceptionally well against the deck but we’ll have to see when suda comes out.
@@Cokevanished in the end, these kind of lists are hella subjective! I'm going full fuck it we ball mode with Infernity Lightsworn and having fun in my own way, but comp it just ain't my format. If you enjoy it that's completely valid too!
