You can still get dia in rotation using nab you just use circular to dump nab and tribute to summon make wickid and tribute nab for dia search the second 1 which leaves you enough for heatsoul
Kashtira, postbanlist, has a really funny problem where it loses extremely hard to itself (a resolved Unicorn is usually GG because you snipe the other guy's Ariseheart), so the more people playing it at an event increases the probability where you get put into an almost coinflip of a matchup. There's definitely still some nuance to the mirror past that, but kneecapping your opponent in the mirror by taking their boss away while you're free to use yours is a hell of an advantage in a match where the players are ostensibly equal skill.

I think you forgot to mention dinomorphia. The deck has been legitimately getting some tops (I think around 3 or 4?) at Nationals and YCSes. The new support puts a lot of stuff into the table, but given we're entering a runick format maybe the deck will just fall off. Wanted to see your thoughts on it.
I've played against it a few times online and at locals and the new card really does help it a lot. If you don't bring a dedicated out you kinda can't do shit. It is looking like a very promising deck.
I've played it myself, hard drawing the Diplos is legit pain. Intact is such a great card but if you don't open that card or get the search off from Theriza ooooofff. Lab is just a better deck trap deck overall and your Rex getting Kaiju'ed is pretty much GG unless you have another fusion trap. Personally I think the deck requires another main deck monster that isn't a total brick like Diplos but once that Rex is on the field it is pretty freaking strong tbh.
Dinomorphia has given me a ton of success in local and regional levels, but with labyrynth potentially re-entering the format I worry about it’s ability to compete
Bro, Joshua will do ANYHING but recognize Dinomorphia as a competent deck. I brought it to the Italan Nats and got close to top128 (finished 173rd) but yeah, such a bad deck uh?
I think the only real usage for striker is as a way to cheat many spell activations and H.A.M.P. Engage -> Hornet Drones Hornet Drones -> Token Link token into Kagari Kagari add Engage Engage -> H.A.M.P. H.A.M.P. Tribute opponent’s monster. But like that’s very prone to disruption. But also doesn’t commit a normal summon and depending on if you have spells in grave already you could get a lot of draws off of it.
Floowandereeze needs to be higher. Good matchups against the top decks, mains Shifter & no hits from the ban list maintain it as one of the more solid decks.
Gold Pride PUNK should be placed higher. With Droll less played, the deck goes crazy. It has the same advantage as Rikka: many people don't know what is happening to them when facing it. They have an in-engine out to Evenly and Lightning storm and have a great Kash MU because of that. Deck is super resilient overall to interruptions so I'd definitely put it in the 1.5 tier. I'm going to French nationals with it and I'm pretty confident 🔥
Gold pride punk is a backrow deck disguised as a combo deck. If people dont let themselves get baited by all the punk cards it is fairly straightforward to beat
Honestly the disrespect to Sky Strikers is immense. Yes the deck sucks going 1st but going 2nd the deck can break any board in the game. Yesterday, I was almost testing the deck the whole day and the only 2 cards I only ever lose to were anti spell and D shifter, I sided 9 cards in my side deck to counter anti spell but D shifter is a bit annoying. However, the deck is still extremely extremely good.
As a Floo player if you know what you’re doing you can completely wash both dragon link and Rikka as well as kash and spright. Plus thrust makes it to where we don’t care if we go first or second the only thing that holds us back is not being able to play a lot of non engine cards so personally I’d say if you are a good pilot it’s a 1.5
plus the simorgh bird of perfection + the simorgh field spell can play through droll, if you open an empen. Also like you said thrust can let us play through HT
I think everyone is underrating dinos right now... i see it at least tier 2, just won locals this weekend and i am going to use it for German nationals as well
Dino just got powercreeped, i know most Dino players with the exception of myself were born with their asses pointing to the moon and will always open ovi + misc but Tyranno is not enough anymore
I'll just keep playing twin spright with generic handtraps/spell/traps. Idk how well that compares to the runick version (there are pros and cons either way that I find hard to quantify), but I just like playing a mostly twin focused game plan. I also don't own the runick stuff which is a factor lol
This honestly looks pretty accurate, after the banlist, tears is dropping and I LOVE it lol. I'd honestly say Branded Byst, Fur Sprite Runick and Labrynth are probably the top contesting decks in the next upcoming few days.
Counterpoint on Vanquish soul price, it's probably a very good investment, the deck has yet to get it's 1st wave of support and it's design is very solid and will probably be viable for years to come, kinda like sky striker
If that's the case then just wait until it gets reprinted over those next few years. It will not take long. Not to mention that they will fall in price once they become meta and fall in performance
When will ppl realize traptrix can turbo naturia beast or barkion. Lol the deck can up 3 to 5 + negates or change tactics and go control if it gets interrupted too much.
im gonna play going second purrely spright, pitch angler off memory summon nimbles make gigantic (it only locks the special so if u draw black or white and summon the other off a memory in drawphase u can normal it after gigantic to dodge nib) blue into jet into gamma burst search gamma burst otk could be fun, use the big non engine room for board breakers.
Doesn't Live twins also suffer a lot from the existence of Bystials, making them weaker in every format where branded and dragonlink gain popularity? Makes me struggle to see Live twin runick spright be the best version of it, I see the Furry hurry version outperform it.
I keep seeing Fur Hire Runick Spright on these lists near the top tier. I also keep seeing players talk about how good the deck is. But despite these endorsements, if you search YGOPRO deck there aren't any other tops for it in the past two months. In contrast, melffy Spright, evil twin runick spright, and tri-spright have all had multiple tops at several different events during the same time frame. Yet, most people are rating Fur Hire Spright higher than the other variants. I am trying to understand what I'm missing here. If the Fur Hire variant has so much potential, why hasn't it gotten any more tops? Are these topping lists absent from YGOPRO and I'm just missing them? As is, the numbers don't seem to line-up with the tier lists I'm seeing. Everybody is talking up the deck, but nobody wants to actually play it. Strange. I understand that these lists are a projection of future meta, but it also seems odd to suddenly put this particular variant of Spright above the others when it doesn't have the history of success of its counterparts.
I mean Id put all those as Runick Spright with extra flavour, its almost the same deck in all of those cases, you are just opting to stregthen one or the other aspect with those different flavours, whether it be Drawpower, consistency, recovery, or breaking skills, and people probably just dont vlaue drawpower in practice as much as they do in theory when making these lists. But it is wierd I do agree, 100%
20:03 Yes, Joshua Your runick spright live twin *Watches video noticed he claims no credit there* Yah love seeing history being rewritten I do think it was a flub tho in what he said. "The deck I took to this ycs"
Superheavy has machina metalcruncher as another starter, and they make the same board with 12 starters as before minus savage dragon. Thoughts on the deck given that?

@@alexv5581 Look up on TH-cam those decks if you think that crazy combo decks that make broken boss monsters and multiple Omni negate/interruptions in one turn after activating 20+ card effects are fun or something to underestimate.
Ok so, i've been looking forward to start playing yu-gi-oh even irl but cant decide what deck to play. My ideas were Sky strikers since it was my first ever actual deck (because i got back into the game when MD came out) so i figured it would be fitting, then there was adamancipator because it's the deck i currently play but no block dragon, shifter, "macro cosmos" really makes me go away from that option and lastly, branded because i saw there is a structure deck so i could start with that and then slowly upgrade it with singles. Those are the only decks i'm familiar with, so if there are more suggestions i'm all for it. But i'd like to not spend too much right away especially on non staples, which is the reason that i'm not convinced about branded (multiple cards over 40€ that only play there)
I heard Swordsoul isnt that expensive (Fleur aside which is sort of a staple, any deck that can make 10 synchro runs it), and is fun cool loking, easy to start and learn but hard to master deck but it aint that competitive currently, some Runick variant might be good because those look like they are here to stay for good and with that engine you basically get 2-3 decks that play very differently with just slight modificaiton of other side of it (whether it be Spright, Melffy spright, Fur hire spright or Plunder)
I play Tribri Lyri, the deck is really strong, if droll play drops is even better. You need to adapt the deck to be more efficient to the meta but its a solid tier 2
@@juliangrillo I'd like to think more likely now that wind barrier is gone but I ended up getting one JUST IN CASE it just somehow does. But we can dream tho lol.
Branded bros, ash blossom isn't a card, it doesn't exist, 1 card can't shut down an entire archetype on it's own. Edit: Not naming names, lmao, but yeah my comment is a joke at branded players expense.
If you are still losing to ash then you either haven't updated your build since 2 wave of supports ago or you are just bad. Ash hurt but any above average hand plays through it
@@alexYu-gi-oh True but u have to admit it kinda makes your turn 1 really bad and u need a combination of specific cards play around it unless your playing nadir and maximus in that case u just make the board on the opp turn

my hopium pick for actual potential: Tellar. their new wave of support was pretty crazy and they have a wide variety of playstyles available. maybe like tier 2 or 3? my copium pick that i'm going to play way too much: Nouvelles. serving up borgar
did joshua forget that kash literally shotguns barone if they see unicorn + any ghost sister? the barone is so easy to get into and shuts down the cards he listed besides kurikara
None of those Ghost girls are popular except for Ash. Most Kash lists that topped a YCS play none of the others as far as I can find, for a good reason.
@@arobnugzo6818 ok lets blindly ignore the lists that also played mourner and the events previously dont mean shit after the list took affect. New meta new builds.
While I absolutely agree that exo isnt a top tier deck, it is better than half the decks you put in t2 100%. Sakitama means the game has a great 1 card starter in aratama, you can cut a lot of names in the main for non engine and can easily fit 20 non-engine cards. Deck has been topping in the OCG regularly with shifter at 2 und prosp hit as well.
Why no eldlich? I always thought that those trap decks can always adapt to the meta by changing traps.. Floodgate are always a pain, so 9/12 flood + counter negate for monsters could be able to smash a lot of decks imo. Ps: i love eldlich ❤
Hi Joshua! I mostly play in Master duel, and play Exosister. I don't know what happens in TCG, but I keep hearing that Exosister will become bad, and you just rank it "unplayable". Can you please tell me why? Thank you so much in advance.
Like the comment above.. Exo is really good as anti meta.. But when the meta is not the deck it countered its just decent not amazing.. Also josh just doesnt like exo like he doesnt like mathmech.. So a bit bias Maybe tier 3 or even 2 if it can adapt well
Sky striker is tier 1.5 because it’s a high-skill deck and it very well compliments high skill players. In an average player’s hands, it’s not the best choice, but in a competent player’s hands, it’s a very good meta call. Edit: I understand your argument that it’s too fair of a deck for modern yugioh, however keep in mind that while the cards themselves are fair in terms of tempo trading, the cards are very powerful and the deck has a very strong grind game. Today’s decks focus on being too unfair in the early game but sacrifice the grind game. All sky strikers have to do is survive the the first two turns.
Depends what deck they face, if they go up against Ikea Labrynth, Branded or Runick decks, they are not probably not outgrinding. It probably is pretty decent into Spright, but it's gonna struggle probably vs stuff like Dragon Link (Bystials) or Mathmech (too explosive).
@@ainevek I disagree with your point there. With so many ways to access shark cannon and widow anchor, plus its excellent use of handtraps, I think it can defend against Dragon Link or Mathmech just fine. As far as Lab or Branded or Runick goes, the only one I think has a better grind game is Lab. Sky Striker is very capable of simply incorporating Runick into the deck and can easily break Runick since the deck has built-in searchable backrow destruction. Since Branded has so many choke points that can be easily exploited by Sky Striker (such as widowing the Albion when it activates to fuse or sharking the Albaz so they have no valid fusion targets, ash blossoming the branded fusion, veilering the Aluber, etc), I think Branded doesn't stand a chance against an experienced/skilled Sky Striker player. Now, you're likely correct in regards to Lab. that will probably be their hardest matchup.
@@Scifiwriting41 they'll absolutly get blasted by branded if they don't open ash. Yes shark cannon is nice, but the days branded relied on branded in red alone are over. Also striker can't fit enough handtraps nor go first very well so I don't see when you shark cannon albion, and they can skip albion and go for lubellion instead They can also play around widow anchor by getting a Cartesia on field first. Branded has too much Gas and recursion for sky striker to stop. Also, Runick variants (like fur hire spright) grind very hard, and draw way more cards. Maindecking the backrow removal striker card is bad. If its Runick Stun it's even worse since most of your engine is straight up dead.
7:00 someone in chat says "not to be disrespectful, but waka ushi is 2 syllables." You're wrong. In japanese, itd be 4 "syllables" (wa-ka-u-shi). Japanese doesnt use emphasis, though. You don't separately emphasize any syllables. Saying wakaushi as all one thing is closer to the correct pronunciation than saying waka ushi.
What do you think about Going 2nd Swordsoul? Vishuda and Baxia as well as Chengying and the Draco Berserker seem good at breaking boards and pushing for game (if necessary alongside Droplet or Kaijus).
SS has always had grreat potential going 2nd, as it can play thorugh million things given the right hand. But the biggest make or break thing right now for newer SS decks will be if they can incorporate some cool new Denglong tricks
Anti meta deck could be a great opponent against the actual meta game. The only problem is Labrynth but in general have a good matchup against the other decks 😅 In my channel I have my list I endws 6-3 in the last nats in my country so I think is pretty well 😊

@@juliangrillo I'd like to think more likely now that wind barrier is gone but I ended up getting one JUST IN CASE it just somehow does. But we can dream tho lol.
@@cameronsmith4342 Yeah I have mi link3 and my apex waiting for the miracle haha
how about adventure melffy spright
What do you think about Runick Sky?
Hey nice vid. Just courious to know if you think that scareclaw is a viable option this format
Branded bros, ash blossom isn't a card, it doesn't exist, 1 card can't shut down an entire archetype on it's own.
Edit: Not naming names, lmao, but yeah my comment is a joke at branded players expense.
If you are still losing to ash then you either haven't updated your build since 2 wave of supports ago or you are just bad. Ash hurt but any above average hand plays through it
@@alexYu-gi-oh True but u have to admit it kinda makes your turn 1 really bad and u need a combination of specific cards play around it unless your playing nadir and maximus in that case u just make the board on the opp turn
@@phoenix5095 quem definitely helps alot, its a great support for the deck and it is 2 disruptions at once on its own
But yeah you obviously not happy when u getting ash'd but between cartesia and quem ash hurts much much less now compared to a year ago when it was sometimes just a pass
@@alexYu-gi-oh Twas a joke, relax friend.
Pure Scareclaw? 👀
Denglong is back. Cuz did Dino dirty 😢
vanquish soul looks cool but expensive is it worth it ???
Denkst du, dass adventure spright nochmal was wird?
my hopium pick for actual potential: Tellar. their new wave of support was pretty crazy and they have a wide variety of playstyles available. maybe like tier 2 or 3?
my copium pick that i'm going to play way too much: Nouvelles. serving up borgar
can you sell me on why i would play this over dark world?
@@tecul1 honestly I think Dark World is probably better unless you really like xyz combo decks
dam, at least you're honest
@@tecul1 I mean Dark World is actually on the tier list so I'd say perception of that deck is a little better than Tellars LMAO
u can get diameter/any of the tuners off cyberse wickid
did joshua forget that kash literally shotguns barone if they see unicorn + any ghost sister? the barone is so easy to get into and shuts down the cards he listed besides kurikara
@@ddeine_ 3 ash + 3 mourner + 2 or 3 ogre/belle. thats 8-9 tuners with everything in ur deck being 7 not taking normal.
None of those Ghost girls are popular except for Ash. Most Kash lists that topped a YCS play none of the others as far as I can find, for a good reason.
@@arobnugzo6818 ok lets blindly ignore the lists that also played mourner and the events previously dont mean shit after the list took affect. New meta new builds.
Im hurt😭 i just went X-2 at an LA regional this past weekend with salad and joshua thinks its trash😭😭
Vanquish soul got 2nd place at Italian Nationals.
They gotta be higher on the tier 2 list.
this was made on stream before the nats
@tecul1 I know, but if he sees this, maybe he'll change the list a bit now
What do you think about Live twin spright with like 15 non engine?
it can work but runick makes it so much more consistent
I can’t tell if my dude has a giant Yugioh card behind him, as a poster? Or he is shrunken down to card size.
virtual world comment had me so dead 💀
Hey Josh, what do you think of Dinomorphia with the new trap?
While I absolutely agree that exo isnt a top tier deck, it is better than half the decks you put in t2 100%. Sakitama means the game has a great 1 card starter in aratama, you can cut a lot of names in the main for non engine and can easily fit 20 non-engine cards. Deck has been topping in the OCG regularly with shifter at 2 und prosp hit as well.
So why didn't you do amdamancipotor that is easy tier 2 or tier 3,you need to re do this video 🤔
Scareclaw seems high end tier 3
Was looking for this
The argument about Droll losing popularity is kinda weird tho, considering how many of the Tier 1.5 and 2 decks suffers with it.
Why is eldlich unplayable?
can you maybe next tier list ranked dogmatika ? and can i send send you then adeckbuild?
Why no eldlich? I always thought that those trap decks can always adapt to the meta by changing traps.. Floodgate are always a pain, so 9/12 flood + counter negate for monsters could be able to smash a lot of decks imo.
Ps: i love eldlich ❤
they lose mega hard game 2 and 3 coz ppl side for them
is spright live twin without runicks a valid deck ? I prefer going handtraps as I feel like they do way more when going 2nd.
Absolutely, it won Spain nationals
@@PortableMediaReviews ye but I don't see it in the tier list, that's why I'm asking where it should go
Noooo my eldlich... 😢
Hi Joshua! I mostly play in Master duel, and play Exosister. I don't know what happens in TCG, but I keep hearing that Exosister will become bad, and you just rank it "unplayable". Can you please tell me why? Thank you so much in advance.
Exosister is good in a format with meta decks that it counters, like Tear was. If not playing a good matchup, it's just decent, but not amazing.
Like the comment above..
Exo is really good as anti meta.. But when the meta is not the deck it countered its just decent not amazing..
Also josh just doesnt like exo like he doesnt like mathmech.. So a bit bias
Maybe tier 3 or even 2 if it can adapt well
Sky striker is tier 1.5 because it’s a high-skill deck and it very well compliments high skill players. In an average player’s hands, it’s not the best choice, but in a competent player’s hands, it’s a very good meta call.
Edit: I understand your argument that it’s too fair of a deck for modern yugioh, however keep in mind that while the cards themselves are fair in terms of tempo trading, the cards are very powerful and the deck has a very strong grind game. Today’s decks focus on being too unfair in the early game but sacrifice the grind game. All sky strikers have to do is survive the the first two turns.
Depends what deck they face, if they go up against Ikea Labrynth, Branded or Runick decks, they are not probably not outgrinding. It probably is pretty decent into Spright, but it's gonna struggle probably vs stuff like Dragon Link (Bystials) or Mathmech (too explosive).
@@ainevek I disagree with your point there. With so many ways to access shark cannon and widow anchor, plus its excellent use of handtraps, I think it can defend against Dragon Link or Mathmech just fine. As far as Lab or Branded or Runick goes, the only one I think has a better grind game is Lab. Sky Striker is very capable of simply incorporating Runick into the deck and can easily break Runick since the deck has built-in searchable backrow destruction. Since Branded has so many choke points that can be easily exploited by Sky Striker (such as widowing the Albion when it activates to fuse or sharking the Albaz so they have no valid fusion targets, ash blossoming the branded fusion, veilering the Aluber, etc), I think Branded doesn't stand a chance against an experienced/skilled Sky Striker player. Now, you're likely correct in regards to Lab. that will probably be their hardest matchup.
@@Scifiwriting41 they'll absolutly get blasted by branded if they don't open ash. Yes shark cannon is nice, but the days branded relied on branded in red alone are over. Also striker can't fit enough handtraps nor go first very well so I don't see when you shark cannon albion, and they can skip albion and go for lubellion instead
They can also play around widow anchor by getting a Cartesia on field first. Branded has too much Gas and recursion for sky striker to stop.
Also, Runick variants (like fur hire spright) grind very hard, and draw way more cards. Maindecking the backrow removal striker card is bad. If its Runick Stun it's even worse since most of your engine is straight up dead.
7:00 someone in chat says "not to be disrespectful, but waka ushi is 2 syllables."
You're wrong. In japanese, itd be 4 "syllables" (wa-ka-u-shi). Japanese doesnt use emphasis, though. You don't separately emphasize any syllables. Saying wakaushi as all one thing is closer to the correct pronunciation than saying waka ushi.
They know. They are joking about how MBT purposefully mispronounces it
What do you think about Going 2nd Swordsoul?
Vishuda and Baxia as well as Chengying and the Draco Berserker seem good at breaking boards and pushing for game (if necessary alongside Droplet or Kaijus).
SS has always had grreat potential going 2nd, as it can play thorugh million things given the right hand. But the biggest make or break thing right now for newer SS decks will be if they can incorporate some cool new Denglong tricks
Tear?
Would be better if we seen you play some games with these choices
Prohibition 3x and declare fallen of albaz
Best cards against spright runick twins in the mirror
send nabla then brimh it back then summon diameter and keep goimg the same way
Anti meta deck could be a great opponent against the actual meta game. The only problem is Labrynth but in general have a good matchup against the other decks 😅
In my channel I have my list I endws 6-3 in the last nats in my country so I think is pretty well 😊
I actually just topped a very comp local 30+ with anti meta
