You know it's bad when the "supplementary" engine streamlines your main gameplan so hard you can cut all your old starters to 1 and actually be more consistent, AND have 16 leftover non engine slots to boot.
@@MrThejapans411 they wont ruin it, even with a banlist hit. As soon as a new Sinful toy is released and pushed (because Diabel/Wanted are the real money cards) they will simply unlink Snake-Eyes from Sinful and Original is the prime suspect.
A lot of players at my locals have started showing up for Pokemon and it's easy to see why lol. The deck is both incredibly expensive and miles better than any other deck you can play post PHNI. You could get almost 3 tier 1 Pokemon decks for a single copy of Wanted it's so comical.

@@Cybertech134saaame, I’ve been playing cedh exclusively. Proxy friendly community and really skilled/high powered gameplay instead of whatever the fuck those games were…
I went frame by frame at 0:07 and there is 1 singular moment we see the front of a card and I can't tell what it is because of how smeared it is. I know it's a monster and am 95% sure it's not a pendulum but other than that it's impossible to tell.
My first ever deck was the OG Fire King structure deck. I come back to this game 6 years later and am bamboozled at how its now suddenly tier 0 when it wasnt even tier 2 when i played it
One local does not matter when determining that. It is all about the representation in top cuts at large competitive events. I do agree that it will not be tier 0 but only because it is not powerful enough
Ash alone can actually play through Droll very easily since you're on Oak. You lose access to the Fire King half but you can still make the Whale Flamberge Masq board easily.
I call "ash" the snake eye one and changed ash to "Blossom" instead, since Lonfire is the next relevant card with that name + I call the Tri-B one Ferrijit + NO SANE PERSON PLAYS FLOWER CARDIANS.

@@user-yz6fd1yn4l it's not the worst deck ever, but it's more like a lot of decks have tested my limits over time. It's a gradual build up over a few years.
Same. Its not that the deck id bad. Just that the price, yeah no. You can go get a good gaming laptop or even a asus rog instead of building this meta deck. And we already know its going to get hit in the ban list.
Meanwhile in the Digimon TCG they pre-announced that we aren't going into a tier zero format by hitting the problem cards in the upcoming format meaning that nobody knows who's going to be the top of the mountain and everyone is taking their shot. Also, even an expensive Digimon deck can be had for about the price of a single bonfire, and there are plenty very competitive Decks that are half that cost.
Shadowverse Evolve did this too. Their third set in Japan caused a two-deck format until they limited a couple of cards. When they announced set 3 in NA? The limits it took Japan a few months to implement were there on the day of the set's release. Our set 3 meta was a solid five decks.
This deck is crazy. What does a future hit even look like? Its too new to wipe out and limits would do so little. Bonfire limit in 6 months? Ban snake-eye ash? Kills the deck. Limit it? Cool let me add in 1 for 1 and circle. Limit/ban Wanted? I'll play more Diabellstar and 1 for 1 I just have no idea how this deck can be balanced within the format. All the great cards are new and expensive. Its crazy
I mean the easiest hit in the world would just be to ban original sinful spoils - snake eye as it is by far the spark that makes this engine run as insanely as it does. The moment that card is gone the deck will be at a much more manageable level. (I hope they do ban that card as it not only makes Fire King Snake Eyes too oppressive but it also limits design as now Konami needs to walk on eggshells whenever they design a level 1 Fire Monster)
@k-dawgHI that's a decent option but I worry that it will have too much of an impact on the internal lines. I don't like when a deck goes from tier 0 to rogue and I fear that might be the case here, but I would happily be wrong
The Diabellstar engine before Populus wasn't really that bad, especially since it's limited to decks with a Level 1 FIRE monster that does something useful. Diabellstar is also the Albaz/Visas of her lore, so banning the Original Sinful Spoils basically kills any reason to play Diabellstar. The specific issue here is the other Snake Eye stuff, since they just shit material all over the board with no restrictions. Bonfire to 1 is basically a given. However, since they might not want to ban Poplar as it's both a newer card and Diabellstar's "pet", I do think hitting S-E Ash is reasonable. Even at one copy, being forced to play other unsearchable stuff like One for One is a massive consistency hit (not to mention a negative), but if it's still too good then they can easily just ban it.
Thanks for the way you explained the cards this video. I find it far more enjoyable to watch when you're saying x card searches y unless you have z, instead of just reading them in order.
The funny thing is that it's the Diabellstar/Snake-Eyes engine that's REALLY Tier 0, not really any specific deck running it. Though Fire King is probably going to be the most played variant due to the structure decks, so it'll seem like THAT build is Tier 0 even if it falls below the required representation.

Diabellstar being the Albaz/Visas of her lore, along with the Diabellstar engine requiring the deck your using it in has a Level 1 FIRE monster that's worth anything probably means that it's not getting hit (unless they do something like ban OSS). I imagine they'd hit Bonfire to 1 copy, and then either ban Poplar or hit S-E Ash to 1 (or both). My biggest fear is what they'll do to Fire Kings. I'm guessing they'd hit something, but I'd still want the deck to be playable.
@@xdragoonzero0 it only requires that now because of snake eye and their sinful spoils card, remember that visas had different planets for each new deck. I think diabellstar will have the same but with sinful spoils
Very small correction just for the people who are building this, Bonfire CANNOT search Ponix, as he is a Winged-Beast type, just keep that in mind when constructing your combo lines, but you can search Poplar or Snake Eyes Ash so it is functionally the same thing provided you have not activated their effects in the same turn already (Which theoretically means you should have access to Ponix anyways)
For those of you who thought you could play Master Duel and be safe from Snake-eyes because of how slow on the update MD tends to be, too bad, all of the Snake-eye monsters are in the game.
@@davidjimenez3822 You say that like it's not going to immediately be dumped in already strong fire attribute decks like Salad. Or run pure as a link ladder. Or other stupid things.
Point 3 is not totally true: Ash without extender is still a full Snake-Eyes line Normal summon Ash, add Poplar Opponent Droll Poplar summon itself Poplar summon Linkuriboh Poplar goes into S/T Ash + Poplar goes Oak Oak reborn Ash Oak + Linkuriboh goes Flamberge Flamberge + Ash make I:P Flamberge effect summon back 2 (doesn't matter which one) I:P + 1 of them go Princess Princess summon back Flamberge Flamberge put I:P in S/T zone Princess + 2nd Snake-Eyes goes Amblowhale
You know what i hate? The diabelstar and snake-eyes stuff is now in master duel but the new Red dragon archfiend and resonator stuff isnt and it came out a month before age of overlord.
I have been loving the fire kings as a deck for a while now. Playing dogmatika as a supplementary engine since wanted was to expensive. Makes me so sad to see fire king reduced to a engine for the broken snake eyes
If we are really heading to another tier 0 format then i am fine with this deck, no floodgates or 5negates boards or handrips just whoever plays better wins pretty nice if you ask me
They have to hit original sinful spoils, that’s the card that makes this deck both synergize insane, and go plus 8. It doesn’t kill the deck or make it mediocre. And consistency hits like limiting bonfire or Snash aren’t going to do it.
Goblin player should've won, there was no reason for them to imperm the arvata at the end there, if they save it for ash, the one card combo deck doesn't get to one card combo and probably loses.
If the fire king structure taught me anything it's that it's really funny to use Nephtys as a feather duster So could we run it as a one of in the side deck for lab?
I like that this TMT is just MBT being so incredulous about how stupidly strong this deck is. Have we reached critical mass of what a deck can do? The amount of tier 0 formats that have occurred within the past few years is absurd. Yugioh needs to change.
There has been one which is tear for like 3 premier events, other decks that had over 50% representation (still not close to tier 0) in between 2017 spyral and now are striker, orcust variants, adamancipator and kash, but only orcust came close to tier 0 even though it's probably the weakest deck here funnily enough, as it happened at the end of toss so no mermiad, no rusty and no azathot on the opponent's turn Also opening a 1-off nib against a deck that loses to it won't happen every game, the goblin player imperming arvata for no reason cost them the game and lab lost 2-1 afted losing the dice roll and not opening any hand traps or outs like evenly, if fire kings go 2nd there they probably lose the match so nothing surprising there, the deck's really strong but seems very overhyped in this video
Once again I’m very happy the people I play with all play Casual and Jank Pet Decks. And people wonder why people are jumping to other games, this is getting hilariously ridiculous.
Promethean is just an "ok" card as a link climber due to her restrictions. What makes her BUSTED is @18:55, not only completely invalidating Ty-phon's existence way harder than the Kamehameha from Zeus in the trailer, not only locking the opponent for the rest of the turn, but triggering a set of effects that leave your board even better at the "cost" of destroying 1 FIRE monsters. Without her, Lab could just NS clock, make Ty-phon, run over something like Apollo, bounce something else like Baronne, set 5 and profit. Now unless Promethean is used, you autolose the moment you make Ty-phon. In this case here leaving Lady there would be infinitely better since that board CANNOT remove her by any means, then on the opponent's turn you try to bait Sky burn while praying the combo DDG + Daruma are enough to give you a turn.
I don’t think I’ll ever regret the time I’ve spent with Yugioh and I’ll continue to play some of the video games, but I think Vanguard has become my go to when I’m wanting to enjoy some paper play. It certainly helps that my family is able to play Vanguard with me, while Yugioh is a bit too complicated for a “casual” game.
popular? popular? there's no 'u', it's a tree (like ash, oak), poplar. this is straytos all over again. also tier 0 is a very, very rarified air (arguably not even dragon rulers or nekroz were tier 0), will be interesting to see if this starts getting 65-70%+ of top cut!
"Fun and good" I wouldnt go that far. Good? Yeah absolutely. Fun? If you like winning like 95% of your games for free then I guess thats fun lol. But yeah $1000+ for this deck is ludicrous.
@@AcroxShadow I mean yeah you can play those variants. But they aren't nearly as likely to top above a local level. You might get a lucky regional with that deck. But YCS and above I doubt it
I can't wait for the people complaining about the people complaining about the game being too expensive that we took a solid week off of now that we have the clear tier 1 to potentially tier 0 deck choice breaking a grand easily again.
Feels like every card in this deck is both a starter and a extender, or a handtrap that, if you open any combination of two, will stop almost any other deck. Not as good a Tear Ishizu, but pretty close.
A friend of mine came to me on Discord and asked if I had copies of Earth Golem. I remembered keeping it as a super poly target but it was never used because Salamangreat disappeared around the time IGAS was released. Turns out I have ONE Golem. Now I know why the guy needs it...
Ok, I have an issue with miragestallio. People often use it to summon another monster then link it off into sunlight wolf or Heatleo, which is good, it's a decent combo. My problem with it is that you use 2 monsters to summon miragestallio, and you only need 1 material to detach to summon the new monster. Once you link the new monster and miragestallio, the miragestallio still has another xyz material on it, essentially wasting it.
Ironically enough, it's not the Fire king. It's just Snake eyes that are a real problem now. FK is just a small engine. Pure snake eyes is a real problem
I know that the cards that will get hit in this deck are going to be the fire king cards, not the "underpowered" and "situational" snake-eye cards that form their own competent tier 1 competitive deck with 9 one-card starters
It sucks to me that these cards are so good, because they are so cool to me. Snake-eye is great, possible tier 0-0.5 by itself because I've been playing it since it came out in master duel and it is absolutely the snake eye cards that are the problem. But to end a tangent, yeah I hope both of those get limited, bonfire especially because it just should be
Princess isn't at the level of elf, simply due to less flexibility with rank 4s you can summon. Then again you have 2 really good ones with a third infernoid one on the way
The idea is you go try and fetch super poly with allure of darkness, you play yubel and you give your opponent a veidos so if they try and play you can super poly it away with any yubel monster to make the fuion wich is indestructible by card effects pop the board and then use ashened for eternity to add back veidos to threaten lethal using the yubel monster and pop fire king island
I mean is this consider a Tier 0 deck? YEA... But it doesn't piss me off like Tearlament Ishizu. Maybe for others but for me; I can at least respond and play the game. MAYBE I lose right away but at least my deck isn't getting milled or worse.
@@siphemanana2551 Fair statement. Still, my experience in Master Duel against Tearlament was hell. Only 1 ONCE because my opponent milled the wrong cards.
Did I miss the part where he explained diabellstar and the sinfulspoils stuff? I've felt so out of the loop regarding this and was hoping he would expound on it in this video
I love how each time I take a break and then come back it's a tier zero meta, last time was Tear (though then I could actually beat all but the better players at my locals). Won't stop me from playing Yubel though, made a Yubel deck almost exactly 10 years ago and now there's new support, well now there's actually support and not just things like Mystic Tomato and Savage Colosseum. Will probably try mixing it with my D/D's too, either a Yubel deck with a D/D engine or a D/D deck with a forced Yubel engine who knows. (Just gotta wait for the next set to come out.)
Something's getting emergency banned if they don't want attendance to events (locals especially, but even big events) to drop off a bunch or just be very inconsistent. Especially with the price tag. Sadly, if they do hit the deck it's probably gonna be Fire King cards getting banned first before any Snake Eye stuff is hit 2 lists later.
@@ctusiard9755 True. But it did hurt attendance, although mostly locals level. Hell, my locals went from averaging 20+ to being lucky if 8 people showed for a bit. May happen again here but wouldn't be as noticable at big events.

Very small correction just for the people who are building this, Bonfire CANNOT search Ponix, as he is a Winged-Beast type, just keep that in mind when constructing your combo lines, but you can search Poplar or Snake Eyes Ash so it is functionally the same thing provided you have not activated their effects in the same turn already (Which theoretically means you should have access to Ponix anyways)
For those of you who thought you could play Master Duel and be safe from Snake-eyes because of how slow on the update MD tends to be, too bad, all of the Snake-eye monsters are in the game.
don't worry, the engine has no Fire Kings to go alongside with it, not even the second wave of rescue-ACE support.
@@davidjimenez3822 You say that like it's not going to immediately be dumped in already strong fire attribute decks like Salad. Or run pure as a link ladder. Or other stupid things.
Tbh the Goblin Rider Player sold, he shouldve won that

I hope you wear the snake eye glasses in every video and stream from now on
3 Stage of choosing dexks
1. I couldnt
2. i wouldnt
3. I didnt that money anyway
Point 3 is not totally true: Ash without extender is still a full Snake-Eyes line
Normal summon Ash, add Poplar
Opponent Droll
Poplar summon itself
Poplar summon Linkuriboh
Poplar goes into S/T
Ash + Poplar goes Oak
Oak reborn Ash
Oak + Linkuriboh goes Flamberge
Flamberge + Ash make I:P
Flamberge effect summon back 2 (doesn't matter which one)
I:P + 1 of them go Princess
Princess summon back Flamberge
Flamberge put I:P in S/T zone
Princess + 2nd Snake-Eyes goes Amblowhale
Basically Snake-Eyes Ash through Droll end on Amblowhale + Flamberge with I:P in S/T
Everything Changed When The Fire (King) Nation Attacked
You know what i hate? The diabelstar and snake-eyes stuff is now in master duel but the new Red dragon archfiend and resonator stuff isnt and it came out a month before age of overlord.
make note, the cost of this deck is approximately over a thousand dollars, let that sink in
1.4 k here in my country and still going up. XD.
shifter and the deck sink in swep
Half of that is just the SP
I love the framed photo that has more pictures of Sadie than it does Joseph or Jillian
Thank God, now bad yugioh players can stop complaining about the meta being too varied 🙏🙏
Its crazy that Master Duel can basically play this before TCG
And all it took was shareholders making demands because konami was fine lagging over 6 months behind even the tcg.
No fire kings tho
One of my first decks ever was fire kings in duel links. I'm salivating in anticipation for this in master duel
Have fun, all the Snake-Eyes cards minus Oak and Ash are UR.
i am SO close to memorizing the ygopro sponsor segment. just a few more lines away and ill be just like my favorite white boy....
1:09 for a second, I thought there were 6 copies of Bonfire in there. Imagine making the deck's price THAT bad...
Technically the truth to be honest both Bonfire and Wanted get to Snash.
I can only imagine how infuriatingly grindy.
The mirror match is going to be
I have been loving the fire kings as a deck for a while now. Playing dogmatika as a supplementary engine since wanted was to expensive.
Makes me so sad to see fire king reduced to a engine for the broken snake eyes
Edison format lookin' really good right about now
Konami have really been advertising for Edison conversion with these past few additions to the game.
I just appreciate having a good Going Second deck
Witch is?

This is going to be looked back on as one of the most skill expressive formats of all time I can feel it
Did he just say "untap"...twice?
His name stands for Mono Blue Tron, an mtg deck.
You can guess what he is planning on doing during his hiatus
If we are really heading to another tier 0 format then i am fine with this deck, no floodgates or 5negates boards or handrips just whoever plays better wins pretty nice if you ask me
They have to hit original sinful spoils, that’s the card that makes this deck both synergize insane, and go plus 8. It doesn’t kill the deck or make it mediocre. And consistency hits like limiting bonfire or Snash aren’t going to do it.
Goblin player should've won, there was no reason for them to imperm the arvata at the end there, if they save it for ash, the one card combo deck doesn't get to one card combo and probably loses.
And now we wait for post phni raidraptor
the only thing I hate about this format is the price tag
(Heath Ledger Joker)
"It's simple, we uh, unban the Tearlaments."
If the fire king structure taught me anything it's that it's really funny to use Nephtys as a feather duster
So could we run it as a one of in the side deck for lab?
I like that this TMT is just MBT being so incredulous about how stupidly strong this deck is.
Have we reached critical mass of what a deck can do? The amount of tier 0 formats that have occurred within the past few years is absurd. Yugioh needs to change.
Tear is the theoretical maximum for now.
There has been one which is tear for like 3 premier events, other decks that had over 50% representation (still not close to tier 0) in between 2017 spyral and now are striker, orcust variants, adamancipator and kash, but only orcust came close to tier 0 even though it's probably the weakest deck here funnily enough, as it happened at the end of toss so no mermiad, no rusty and no azathot on the opponent's turn
Also opening a 1-off nib against a deck that loses to it won't happen every game, the goblin player imperming arvata for no reason cost them the game and lab lost 2-1 afted losing the dice roll and not opening any hand traps or outs like evenly, if fire kings go 2nd there they probably lose the match so nothing surprising there, the deck's really strong but seems very overhyped in this video
Once again I’m very happy the people I play with all play Casual and Jank Pet Decks.
And people wonder why people are jumping to other games, this is getting hilariously ridiculous.
Gonna miss the diverse formats after the Ariseheart ban and before PHNI 😢
Promethean is just an "ok" card as a link climber due to her restrictions. What makes her BUSTED is @18:55, not only completely invalidating Ty-phon's existence way harder than the Kamehameha from Zeus in the trailer, not only locking the opponent for the rest of the turn, but triggering a set of effects that leave your board even better at the "cost" of destroying 1 FIRE monsters.
Without her, Lab could just NS clock, make Ty-phon, run over something like Apollo, bounce something else like Baronne, set 5 and profit. Now unless Promethean is used, you autolose the moment you make Ty-phon. In this case here leaving Lady there would be infinitely better since that board CANNOT remove her by any means, then on the opponent's turn you try to bait Sky burn while praying the combo DDG + Daruma are enough to give you a turn.
I don’t think I’ll ever regret the time I’ve spent with Yugioh and I’ll continue to play some of the video games, but I think Vanguard has become my go to when I’m wanting to enjoy some paper play.
It certainly helps that my family is able to play Vanguard with me, while Yugioh is a bit too complicated for a “casual” game.
popular? popular? there's no 'u', it's a tree (like ash, oak), poplar. this is straytos all over again.
also tier 0 is a very, very rarified air (arguably not even dragon rulers or nekroz were tier 0), will be interesting to see if this starts getting 65-70%+ of top cut!
I watched through the whole deck profile part of this video while sitting through a SHS combo
I won, they had 3 omni-negates and a 3 mat apo, and then their connection failed
Oh wow! This deck seems pretty good!
Of course when you play against Salad you open the 1 of Nibiru 😂
“Sweet! A deck that’s fun and good! I should play this!”
Looks at price
“Oh…”
"Fun and good" I wouldnt go that far. Good? Yeah absolutely. Fun? If you like winning like 95% of your games for free then I guess thats fun lol. But yeah $1000+ for this deck is ludicrous.
Honestly you have other options. For the Fire King-oriented version you can play FK Dogmatika, avoiding stuff like Bonfire and WANTED.
@@AcroxShadow I mean yeah you can play those variants. But they aren't nearly as likely to top above a local level. You might get a lucky regional with that deck. But YCS and above I doubt it
Liked the video cuz that intro made me laugh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. You have no idea !!! 😂😂😂😂
Konami really pushed Snake-Eyes to it's full potential while Goblin Riders will suffer the same fate as Krawlers...... Oof......
damn good luck to all tcg players
This deck makes me so glad I'm MD only. I'm not paying $130 for bonfire and you can't make me!
You say that but I had 8k gems saved in anticipation of these cards…. And blew them all to get exactly 1 Witch and no other Fire URs 😂
The only thing worse than playing this format without dropping $300 on a vaguely useable deck is how MBT pronounces Poplar
Love the Wicked reference!
I know the joke was supposed to be "snake eyes" but the only thing I could think of were those marshmellon glasses
I can't wait for the people complaining about the people complaining about the game being too expensive that we took a solid week off of now that we have the clear tier 1 to potentially tier 0 deck choice breaking a grand easily again.
Feels like every card in this deck is both a starter and a extender, or a handtrap that, if you open any combination of two, will stop almost any other deck. Not as good a Tear Ishizu, but pretty close.
I'd say pretty close is a bit too much. DABL tear, or maybe even PHHY tear without ishizu are better comparisons.
A friend of mine came to me on Discord and asked if I had copies of Earth Golem. I remembered keeping it as a super poly target but it was never used because Salamangreat disappeared around the time IGAS was released. Turns out I have ONE Golem. Now I know why the guy needs it...
Ok, I have an issue with miragestallio. People often use it to summon another monster then link it off into sunlight wolf or Heatleo, which is good, it's a decent combo. My problem with it is that you use 2 monsters to summon miragestallio, and you only need 1 material to detach to summon the new monster. Once you link the new monster and miragestallio, the miragestallio still has another xyz material on it, essentially wasting it.
Great just back into yu gi oh and the fire king was my favorite deck back in the bad and now seeing it at tear 0 is greatly
Ironically enough, it's not the Fire king. It's just Snake eyes that are a real problem now. FK is just a small engine.
Pure snake eyes is a real problem
I know that the cards that will get hit in this deck are going to be the fire king cards, not the "underpowered" and "situational" snake-eye cards that form their own competent tier 1 competitive deck with 9 one-card starters
My guess is that snake eye ash will be at least limited. And in a year bonfire is limited
It sucks to me that these cards are so good, because they are so cool to me. Snake-eye is great, possible tier 0-0.5 by itself because I've been playing it since it came out in master duel and it is absolutely the snake eye cards that are the problem. But to end a tangent, yeah I hope both of those get limited, bonfire especially because it just should be
And with elf banned, princess should get the same treatment. We will see. But i think we will have a fire meta the whole 2024.
Princess isn't at the level of elf, simply due to less flexibility with rank 4s you can summon. Then again you have 2 really good ones with a third infernoid one on the way
Yubel/ashened, we should cook with this as a community as a budget option
The idea is you go try and fetch super poly with allure of darkness, you play yubel and you give your opponent a veidos so if they try and play you can super poly it away with any yubel monster to make the fuion wich is indestructible by card effects pop the board and then use ashened for eternity to add back veidos to threaten lethal using the yubel monster and pop fire king island
This video is great, i will just wait at my locals playing budget volcanic and having fun
I mean is this consider a Tier 0 deck? YEA... But it doesn't piss me off like Tearlament Ishizu. Maybe for others but for me; I can at least respond and play the game. MAYBE I lose right away but at least my deck isn't getting milled or worse.
I feel like any Tier 0 deck would piss anyone off. If Fire King doesn’t piss you off then it’s not Tier 0…yet
@@siphemanana2551 Fair statement. Still, my experience in Master Duel against Tearlament was hell. Only 1 ONCE because my opponent milled the wrong cards.
Did I miss the part where he explained diabellstar and the sinfulspoils stuff? I've felt so out of the loop regarding this and was hoping he would expound on it in this video
I love how each time I take a break and then come back it's a tier zero meta, last time was Tear (though then I could actually beat all but the better players at my locals). Won't stop me from playing Yubel though, made a Yubel deck almost exactly 10 years ago and now there's new support, well now there's actually support and not just things like Mystic Tomato and Savage Colosseum. Will probably try mixing it with my D/D's too, either a Yubel deck with a D/D engine or a D/D deck with a forced Yubel engine who knows. (Just gotta wait for the next set to come out.)
Is there a spreadsheet already created for the combos
Just seeing the 2 Popular, 3x bonfire, 3x wanted being like $500+ is horrendous
Play something else like I am
Which organ would you recommend to sell for this deck?
Preferably your left kidney
And I thought Unchained being tier 1 was one of the wackiest thing to happen in ages.
Having StuckStepmom as your second opponent was a thing that happened.
Something's getting emergency banned if they don't want attendance to events (locals especially, but even big events) to drop off a bunch or just be very inconsistent. Especially with the price tag.
Sadly, if they do hit the deck it's probably gonna be Fire King cards getting banned first before any Snake Eye stuff is hit 2 lists later.
Nah, we still dealt with three months of Tear 0 and Konami didn't rush anything.
@@ctusiard9755 True. But it did hurt attendance, although mostly locals level. Hell, my locals went from averaging 20+ to being lucky if 8 people showed for a bit.
May happen again here but wouldn't be as noticable at big events.
Idiots showed up in droves to play Gouki Gumblar and Danger FTK. Locals attendance is tanking but we all know the weekend warriors will continue to book their trips to whatever the next YCS is. My locals can't fire Yugioh anymore.
@@geek593 Yeah. Not every tier 0 format sees fall off in attendance. Tear had some drop offs and some spikes (very inconsistent) with the exception of at locals levels. Locals, at least in my area, had near 0 attendance.
