I love the deck, but can understand why some people hate faing it. In my experience, if you can stop the adamancipator player from serahcing block dragon off of galant granite, their end board is sinifcantly weakend, so always hold your imperm for that. Dark ruler is also butal to face, but a lot of the better players are siding 3 exchange and 3 anti spell going first so we can stop blow out cards.If you can stop the deck early on (like hitting doki doki or if tehy're playing the googo packag hitting glove) their turn can straight up end, so a well timed hand trap can be devestating. I still think it's the best deck of the fomrat, but not incontestable. Thanks for the great video Tombox!
I really love those kind of videos, the “how to beat/crush” or “ultimate counter guide” are perfect especially for whom like me that due to limiting time cannot play those decks and learn them alone! It would be perfect if those videos would be done each time a new archetype comes out (let’s see lately: fluffal, eldlich, darklord.. ecc and for actual meta too!!)
I feel like hand traps are starting to get power crept by blow out cards. Why possibly stop a single play when you can break a board? Excellent content👌
the downside to that is u make ur match up vs FTK decks worse. u have ur useless super polys/DRNM/kaijus/lightning storms/Evenly matched/sphere modes/lava golems in your hand as u get burned alive
Cool video, but I must admit I don’t like the advice of “open with 2 hand traps”. That requires a very specific deck to be able to consistently open like that and not everyone’s deck can support that. Heck not even good decks can necessarily do that.
Cool video! I would like to see something about the hand traps in this format (especially vs the 2 new archetypes) or something like “how to crush eldlich”
I will recommend: Ash blossom for summon Imperial Iron wall so they couldn't banish S/T for resources Macro Cosmos/Dark Law if you can summon it Cosmic Cyclone, permanent removal Unending Nightmare for the Continuous Trap Royal Decree or Trap Stun negates all trap Red Reboot stops all the trap Lightning Storm, Removal Twin Twister, Removal Jinzo since it is obviously trap decks Called by the Grave/D.D. Crow for the Eldrich guy (D.D. Crow can banish their opponen't spell/trap to reducing their advantage of resources) Denko Sekka, rendering their trap useless (Except for Solemn Judgment) Maybe there are others but for this may be enough tho this time
One of the best cards you forgot when going first is Inspector Boarder. They have no way to out it in their main deck (unless they play like dynatherium or something ridiculous) and the only card they would even side in that can kill Boarder is Lightning Storm. Honestly Boarder + 1 floodgate (TCBOO, Summon Limit) is pretty much game against Adamancipator even if they do happen to draw lightning storm.
Dark Ruler no more and Mystic Mine are so useful against Adimancipator in my HERO deck. After playtesting DRNM is a bit more useful since they can’t negate it and then you’re free to combo off and then summoning dark law and absolute zero followed by a mask change on zero which breaks their entire board, no battle phase needed. Even when you pass dark law’s hand destruction effect punishes any of their effects that add cards to hand like block dragon. MM is more of a hail mary play as you gotta hope they don’t have any spell destruction set but if it does activate you can combo into a single trinity->honest neos that bad boy and then swing for game. I’ve been running MM in my main for a while to deal w Dragon link but it serves a similar function for Adimancipator whereas i play Twin Twisters in main instead of DRNM to deal w Eldlich. Any advice for dealing with either decks would be much appreciated!
At 6:20 doesn’t trish miss timing because it was summoned via formula synchrons effect meaning that the summon of trish isn’t the last thing to happen in the chain? I.e. if vs when wording?
If formula synchron is chain link 1 to summon Trish. The card text states after the resolution of this effect immediately synchro summon using this card and monsters you control. Due to the fact it is immediately after resolution it was still Formula synchrons effect but the timing is after it's resolution thus Trish is still the last thing that happened. If formula synchron was chain link 2 then after the synchro summon something else happened ... Etc.
another potential counter this deck has to mystic mine that i'm not sure if you mentioned is gate blocker. u can technically have 4 copies being the 1 blocker and 3 signs to stack it to the top of your deck.
Trap decks can pick adamantia apart pretty well, altergeist builds that tech-in compulsory and/or crackdown along with evenly can normally deal with most adamantia boards with ease.
Probably because the majority of other decks play a good number amount of spells and may likely need them to extend. Plus setting up Naturia Beast shuts down the spells Eldlich requires to search/summon the main boss monster if it isn't already in hand. Let's face it if you're going first against Geist/Eldlich and they you set any of those boards up, they're not likely getting through anyway. Plus you will always want a guaranteed Mystic Mine out.
Dark Ruler isnt really that effective if you have Block Dragon for follow up turn. Add all 3 tuners to your hand, and if they have trouble breaking your board, you still can win next turn.
@@tl4038 every deck witch play dark ruler can set up their win conditions and break your board for exemple Dino and you can t do nothing against tyrano
@@yoloswag3666 It depends. You may also still have Nibiru in hand. Regardless, you can Special Summon Analyzer, activate its effect, special summon another 4, go into a omni negate to prevent Tyranno, without normal summoning. Its so easy depending on how many negates you still have in ED. Then you follow with seeker and researcher and end the game. Just use crystal and put back dragite in deck and bait out tyranno. Its like so easy if you have all 3 in hand..
@@sirbedivere5670 against eldlich? not good at all. pure builds only run 3 monsters in the entire deck and against other builds u better kill them the turn you use it or theyll just get it all back
Usually, since they resolve block dragon on their turn and on yours. That's +6, and those hands are basically guarantee to include the tuners and extenders with the option to recycle key synchros using the stones, especially the blue one.
this is just in my head so its probably bad but Book of Moon seems decent going first. Analyzer is the only issue. If you don't control a monster they can't special analyzer, and then you book their normal summon, can they do anything?

Abraham Torres also starting to share this sentiment
Yeah floodgates can also shut Dow boards more than handtraps sadly

@@shadowdraqon2479 ftks are unhealthy...

Really intelligent analysis, I think your content is astute and easily understandable. Thanks Tombox, and congrats on the engagement!

Which is why if u run hand traps u need 2+... Otherwise not the recommended choice of breaking adamancipator
This is what separates the regular deck from the high tier competitive deck.
Play Salamangreat, you'll open Ash, Crow, Nibiru, Phantazmay, Gazelle, and Debug every hand lmao
play eldlich you will open whatever you want
Or if your deck so consistent, you should shove at least 20 removal and/or handtraps lol
So Cydra and the Kaiju is gonna be awesome

How to crush Eldlich?
That's sounds like a a fan favorite, I'll play the deck for the next 10 hours on matches and see what comes of it.
@@MSTTV Would love to see you stream this
I would watch that too
I will recommend:
Ash blossom for summon
Imperial Iron wall so they couldn't banish S/T for resources
Macro Cosmos/Dark Law if you can summon it
Cosmic Cyclone, permanent removal
Unending Nightmare for the Continuous Trap
Royal Decree or Trap Stun negates all trap
Red Reboot stops all the trap
Lightning Storm, Removal
Twin Twister, Removal
Jinzo since it is obviously trap decks
Called by the Grave/D.D. Crow for the Eldrich guy (D.D. Crow can banish their opponen't spell/trap to reducing their advantage of resources)
Denko Sekka, rendering their trap useless (Except for Solemn Judgment)
Maybe there are others but for this may be enough tho this time
I just bought secret slayers box and pulled the 2 money cards, going to sell Eldlich so I can get another researcher
That RNG is so admirable
Can you make a combo tutorial?

Guys, don't forget that Paper beats Rock
That means Flower Cardians can beat them!
Conductor doesn’t stop satellite warrior though. I’m pretty sure it’s more common due to being easier to summon and not having an awkward level
This was awesome! How to crush Dino’s next😈
You can’t! My boys gotta feed🦖🦖🦖
Ash blossom their oviraptor on effect. Turn ends unless misc is in hand.
Brandon Pike misc is always in the hand! Or called...or restrict is on the field!
Brandon Pike with the new combo it’s safer to ash the baby from the new jewel Dino card from eternity code. The misc doesn’t affect Dino in the grave
ennie minee good idea. I haven’t play tested against the new version yet.

I really like your idea of mystic mine + trinity or MM + az + acid. You can also use Anki and attack directly.
Tom box thank you brother. Much appreciated the video. Great content.
dude i just started watching this is amazing, insane job, hope you have another for eldlich, ill check, gj
It's coming!

I love playing adamancipators because it reminds me of dragon rulers in terms of playstyle
How to crush Eldlich
There can only be one and dimensional barrier?
Is DD Crow not good against this deck? To hit the block dragon?
SingleIQAllStar not really. The search eff is once per turn and it’ll get its search eff before u can dd crow
What are you think about pot of avarice in Adamancipator?
another potential counter this deck has to mystic mine that i'm not sure if you mentioned is gate blocker. u can technically have 4 copies being the 1 blocker and 3 signs to stack it to the top of your deck.
Wut r good matchups for adamncipator? R there even any f+king deck beat it going second?
Are the tuners an inherent summon or an effect to summon?
Mfw primal being token is rock
How to break them... I think i just learned how to play them and what time I'll most likely get handtraped.
Trap decks can pick adamantia apart pretty well, altergeist builds that tech-in compulsory and/or crackdown along with evenly can normally deal with most adamantia boards with ease.
Not if they going second
@@yoloswag3666 set 5 pass?
having at least 1 mirror and a solemn to back mirror up
@@ScorpioneOrzion what do you mean man?
@@yoloswag3666 he meant by just setting 5 and pass to disrupt in the 3rd turn using destruction effs and negation based traps
@@theclosecall4095 yes but in fact you will maybe loose the first game but trap deck are weak after siding
why would'nt you play naturia barkion for the eldrich/altergeist matchup?
Or vs evenly
Probably because the majority of other decks play a good number amount of spells and may likely need them to extend. Plus setting up Naturia Beast shuts down the spells Eldlich requires to search/summon the main boss monster if it isn't already in hand. Let's face it if you're going first against Geist/Eldlich and they you set any of those boards up, they're not likely getting through anyway.
Plus you will always want a guaranteed Mystic Mine out.
Barkion can be a side deck option or maybe main since it’s not that tight for deck space it just depends
What about Droll and Lock Bird against this deck? Their first search will go through but is their board presence still huge?
They don't search much
Chan Kevin I realized that later lol I thought when they excavate the top 5 it adds to hand but they just straight up summon. 😂
someone mentioned convulsion of nature on reddit but another user said adamancipator can still excavate. true?
That is a pretty niche ruling, U can still excavate. It doesn't block the mechanic and also excavation is not a cost.
You can still excavate
Back then Sylvan use it to send top card to GY or add it to hand if Convultion of Nature is activated with Archfiend's Oath
Use Deck Lockdown, Summon Limit
I also will consider Mind Drain since all their summon is activated from the hand
what about intercept wave ?
I do play solem in adamatia cause of dark ruler and the deck can easy strat with 1 card

Depends on what’s left in the extra deck but their main is still ok.
Droll or gnomaterial should cause issues for them???
Droll kinda. Depends on build, if they search before the get block dragon then yah it's good but if block dragon was the search... Oof.. drolll :(
MST.TV ....that dimension shifter tho?
Gnomaterial was a no go?
this is just in my head so its probably bad but Book of Moon seems decent going first. Analyzer is the only issue.
If you don't control a monster they can't special analyzer, and then you book their normal summon, can they do anything?
Nah set Book of Moon/Floodgate Trap Hole and pass, hopefully they don't have any removal anyway
Card ruling question does mudan the rikka fairy gain her search if special summoned by her own effect
