Kashtira catching strays

Ryzeal has this downside where the more of the meta it takes up, the more people will maindeck power Spells like Book of Eclipse and Dark Ruler No More that clean Ryzeal’s clock. Now that Snake-Eye Fiendsmith is gone, those cards are going to be more viable.

I play Memento in OCG, and it’s definitely a good deck after tons of supports. You can make Savage with Chorozo in OCG, so you’re less afraid of S/T board breakers. You can make Herald of Mirage Lights in TCG, but that’s a far worse option. I don't think it would reach the level of being "one of the best in OCG" though.

Wdym by turn skipper synchro dragon? Calamity is banned much earlier in OCG. Centur-Ion isn't bad actually. It plays around many good handtraps like fuwaross well. However, it becomes worse since Bystials are less powerful when Fiendsmith is hit, and it's not compatible with Dominus Impulse. The non-engine power decreases a lot, but it doesn't get any direct hit, so it should stay at about Tier 2 after the banlist.

Yes :(

@@SunnyYGO Jesus Christ, what's wrong with Konami OCG?

To my understanding, it isn't. Only YCS Japan does best of 1, the rest is almost universally best of 3.

Most tournaments I enter are Best of 3, although we sometimes have casual Best of 1 locals if they're not trying to take it too seriously. There might also be Best of 1 bigger tournaments if they are extremely massive, but I haven't entered one of those before.

It's a pretty normal list. The Fiendsmith ratios are just 3 Lurrie, 1 Man, 1 Girl, 1 Tractus. The extra deck is the full package including Moon. If you build a normal Purrely deck and try to add all of those, they all barely fit, but I don't know if it's still playable because there's no Beatrice to send Delicious anymore.

Puppet was banned in MD and branded keeps performing well

​@@Mt.Berry-o7because the ultimate issue isn't puppet, it's sanctifire. There's other floodgate monsters that people can use, it's just that puppet is by far the strongest one you can give to your opponent. As long as you can give your opponent that monster with sanctifire, branded will probably still be doing well

@@Mt.Berry-o7 it's masterduel

And we have Heavy Storm and Red Reboot. Be patient, we are already at the trend of banning floodgates and unlimit pankratops in both OCG and TCG.

2 card combo being stopped by 1 Ash is terrible.

@@EnfieldXu its a 1.5 card combo, the combo gives you 3 cards and an omni if it resolves successfully . You will not have ash everytime they start with azamina

@@MaliEndz Yes, their opponent might not have ash everytime they start with azamina but the meta contender with Ryzeal and Maliss (even Tenpai if people still try to play it) can main deck 2 shifters and 2 maxx c with 3 fuwaross. It hurts both Azamina and Snake-Eye line so bad. Tenpai and Maliss also has Dominus Impulse (4th, 5th, 6th copies of Ash that stops Azamina line on the Sacred Azamina if they decided to start from Deception)

Yeah, it's a bit of a tragedy because I like everything else Branded does, and I think the Quem, Lost, Mirrorjade boards are cool. I'm always a fan of bigger engine decks. It's just that none of that ever matters because I'm getting locked every game I don't draw Called By.

it's to sell the Mullcharmys..... also Maxx C is reprinted to hell and back, i expect Maxx C to stay at 2 for a long time. if your deck has small window for HT then why buy the Mullcharmy when the superior card called Maxx C exist.

@@hoshi314 'Deck has small window for HT' is very likely rogue at best in OCG tbh. So it's either you need Fuwaross or you don't even need Maxx C.

I feel like this is just to sell Fuwaross, without trying to make all the OCG players mad.

@@Hollo1001 Possibly, but it seems strange because Konami doesn't directly sell singles to players. Fuwaross is just Rare in the box, and the influential high rarity Azamina Engine is hit (since it requires more copies of Diabellstar to be consistent).

Always been :)

To be fair... the TCG and OCG banlists feel like 2 halves seperated by Time and Space. They're were both suffering essentially the same format, but each addressed different aspects of it in a different order and now they're finally unifying. I would not be surprised next TCG Banlist when the TCG has Rage of the Abyss and the Deck Build pack if Sinful Spoils Azamina and Yubel to get their Kneecaps busted there too.

@@genaromendoza4758 Bonfire is supposed to be the slap-on-the-wrist treatment. The deck is too new to hit directly, but it should be recognized that the deck can do a lot even though they're locked under Rank 4s for the most part (which really isn't a drawback for the pool of the most well known monsters come from). Yes, the deck is able to use hand traps including Shifter while also essentially having one-card starters, so it can definitely be a threat and their boss (Deadanader) along with the field spell could be enough to hinder the opponent and if we're not including other Xyz like Abyss Dweller.

This argument doesn’t work. If your opponent is on an ftk, having 3 Maxx C in your deck doesn’t stop it. You still only draw it 1/3 games, and even if you draw it, you still need to draw into handtraps that stop the ftk. When the Gimmick Puppet FTK was unhit in ocg, you’d still go for it under Maxx C, since the field spell insulated you from most the handtraps they’d draw. On top of all that, the fact you have to play the “Maxx C tax” (Maxx c + cbtg + crossout + ash) yourself in every deck means that frequently you’re having to run non-engine that is much worse at stopping FTKs, and the fact you’re opponent is running those cards mean that your whether your Maxx C resolves is basically a coinflip. Ash would be played in most decks regardless, but if Maxx c were banned, you would be able to replace them with handtraps that are also able to stop FTKs. If your opponent opens the ftk and your hand is maxx c + called by, and your opponent has Ash for your Maxx c, they get to do their nonsense, whereas if you were able to replace those cards with, say, droll+nib, you probably end up winning that game.

@@ct1296 What argument? It's just my oppinion LOL. Also yes Maxx C into Droll and other powerful handtraps is the move, it's a given.

@@ELMONOLOCO-ko3fy My concern with the opinion is that all those ftk decks still exist in the ocg. But in the tcg, we took care of them. But for as long as maxx c exists, those ftks will just keep existing under the radar. You want them hit, hit the thing masking their existence

@@avatarmufasa3628 In fact, FTK decks existed BEFORE Maxx C, the roach was created as an answer to such decks.

Tcg is objectively better than the ocg , everything wrong about the tcg exists in the ocg also , except a few things like gimmick puppet lock and ftk still existing . But overall there's barely any comparison , maxx c is the most objectively toxic card to ever exist , and it being allowed in the ocg makes it garbage by default . It doesn't balance anything i'm not even gonna bother with that argument since every pro maxx c argument has been debunked 100 times over .

Yeah, I could work on this next. That's a good idea. Thanks!

inb4 the next tier 0 will strike dw.

@@vipayham3 Ryzeal is already going to do that in tandem with this list.

I wouldnt say saved. More like under new management

​@@naunghtonwilliams6946 new management is much better though

I mean Ryzeal is ass into literally any Board Vreaker, just build ur deck differently lol

The problem for you ocg players is that you dont have aerial eater which means fs is not even full combo anymore... I'm pretty sure Yubel is gonna have to sit this one out

Nah Yubel is definitely dead in OCG, you don't have Aerial Eater after Beatrice ban which is very different from TCG.

@@saito853 It's not dead dead, more like it's unlikely for it to be the best. 3 Beckoning 3 Spirit Gates 3 Monkey D Lotus 4 Knightmare Throne is still 13 starters. It's just way worse into hand traps because it's harder for it to extend with such a neutered FS engine and only one Phantom. The full board is still pretty nuts.

@@Flame082 Beckoning/Gates are not real starters, you can't bridge from Fiendsmith to Yubel engines without Beatrice and Aerial Eater, it's a huge blow to the deck. Sure you can still setup Apo/Caesar/Desirae with it but that's what every other decks can do with 2 bodies, if you dont open the Yubel portion of the deck it's gonna be like infinitely worse now. Phantom to 1 is incredibly impactful because that card helped so much with its bricking issues. The deck needs to play an uncomfortably high amount of garnets and it was fine because you can put them back in deck for Phantom (and use Phantom for other link plays)

​@@saito853 I agree with you that Yubel's not going to be a good deck in the new format. However, there's one point I’d like to slightly disagree with. You are absolutely able to bridge to the Yubel Engine with Yama and post-errata Summon Sorceress in OCG. The only problem is that you can't do too much being fiend-locked. I never run Apollousa in my Yubel deck, but it hurts if Varudras is also not accessible. I also often play Fiendsmith Unchained in OCG. I know Beatrice is bound to be banned, so I started adapting to Summon Sorceress builds early, which is now a popular build in OCG. After Lacrimosa, the requirements for a starter have been reduced to just needing a certain number of monsters, so people stopped using Rhino and started using Sangan, as you can set up the Unchained board with one Tour Guide and search Maxx C. Even after the October banlist, you can still use a single Lacrimosa to complete the Sequence + Lacrima + Engraver combo (this starter is strictly worse than a single Closed Heaven). You just need to recycle Lacrimosa with Engraver before activating Requiem. After that, you can use Yama to search Sharvara and connect to any Fiend via Summon Sorceress. For Unchained, one Tour Guide equals Rage + Escape + Muckraker + Caesar + Maxx C. This is actually not too different from Beckoning, because without using Rhino, the only thing Tour Guide brings is two random bodies. I'm not trying to argue that Yubel is still playable, because Yubel actually relies more on non-Fiend Boss Monsters to use up its bodies. What I'm trying to say is that when you're trying to adapt to another format, it's important to avoid fixed assumptions. Some decks that seem similar may be much more localized. When I first arrived in TCG, I thought D-Link wasn't playable because the standard OCG combo required 2 Strikers. However, after a while, I found out that D-Link was still popular at local. I’ve also seen TCG players think that OCG's Fiendsmith Memento uses Fiendsmith only to go from Cross Sheep to Goblin. In reality, after Grand Imprisonment, Goblin became extremely accessible, the starter is always abundant, and Fiendsmith is more extender to Desirae or Caesar. The TCG doesn’t have Chorozo yet, and players may not realize that Desirae has become far more accessible post-Lacrimosa. Maybe Yubel will somehow turn into a Fiend Pile and become viable again after some time, or perhaps it will become a rogue deck later. It's still too early to draw conclusions before OCG players explore post-banlist combos, especially since OCG has utilities that TCG has yet to receive.

Redmd errata

@@eggera-d4v oh, right, thank you !

Honestly, I could probably make an entire video about this, but generally what I personally think makes an Edison deck good falls on 5 main factors: 1. Consistency 2. Ability to Plus 3. Spot Removal 4. Broken Win Conditions 5. Resiliency All good decks in Edison have all of these traits and decks that tend to be hyped up, but not actually good (ie. Fairies) tend to be missing one or multiple of these categories. This is also the criteria I use to determine is a new deck has the potential to be a really good deck or not. To speak about Diva Beat specifically, a brief summary would be that Diva Beat is a hyper-consistent deck that represents a similar threat range every single game with all 5 of the criteria listed above. It also has the ability to side the strongest side deck cards in the format and has a strong matchup spread (even having a rare positive matchup against Blackwing). I find it more difficult to conclude that Diva Beat isn't one of the best decks in the format because its strengths are so obvious. It also passes the eye test easily.

@@SunnyYGO that is very interesting ! I guess everyone also has this theory, but the practice did not lead to the same conclusion.

I am definfitly undervaluing the side potential of hero beat tho. I will try to get back on the deck with those options in mind !
