I played Crystal beasts in my first yugioh locals over a decade ago and after a ten year break I wanted to play them again without just ending on a bagooska. Along came your last video and I’ve spent more time reading your 15 page guide than I spent reading for my degree (it was a music degree I admit). Just got back into locals scene and can’t wait to turn up with something along these lines. 100% with you on the guide>decklist. I wish everyone did that. And as for this video, figuring out what to do with the bad hands was the last ingredient for this absolute beauty of a deck.
Wow, that's some high praise. Thank you. If you haven't already, play the deck solitaire on a simulator or with proxies, just moving things around until you start finding weird ways through what looked like bad hands. As for Bagooska, I've actually removed that from my "regular" Crystal Beast deck--I don't think it's very effective these days.
Since your January video on this kitchen sink of a deck, I’ve been constructing my own version of this deck. I love that, for once, someone is making a deck which isn’t either a typical fragile YT combo or just another generic deck Konami designed to synergize well. I love non linear combo decks, so I’ll be sure to follow along with these to see what else I can do!
Love your deck, I went for a "simpler" build that ends on sargas + F0 + simorgh/apex avian + Warriors + branded in red, I found quem and friends to be too bricky instead I maximized searching the one card combo with noble knigth shield bearer and small world with plenty of handtraps, also branded fusión despite everything is an excellent out of jail card. For example if your opponent ash your Crystal Bond and then imperms your tri-brigade You can just fusión and end on mirrorjade or rindbrumm + merc and some handtraps.
Awesome ideas! I haven't used the Simorgh link since its TCG ban. I was summoning Barrier Statue and protecting it from battle by using Kerass + Nemeses Flag to make Armored Kappa. Have you tried Nemeses, or alternate wind beasts for Shield-Bearer?
@@MarkThePage Tried Hop Ear for the synchro variant to turn borreload dragon into baronne, tested nemeses but I'm not convinced. I legit think this could be a 60 card deck since the engine is quite big and has a lot of searchers for one card combos, small world feels really solid, it can search anything. Also for non-engine I think called by + crossout + Triple talents is important to protect the combo.
@@MarkThePage That sums up my last locals against swordsoul. Opponent goes first: "Main phase" - Me: "All good" - Opponent: "Normal Mo ye" - Me: "sure" - Opponent: "Activate Mo ye" - Me: "Ok all good. On resolution I will activate arias the labrynth butler in hand chaining lady labrynth. I special lady, then set welcome labrynth from hand. I now activate welcome labrynth and, assuming no ash, chain lady labrynth. I set dimensional barrier from de-" - Opponent: "Nope. Aint doing this" (picks up his deck and walks away" Labrynth's a joy to play. It's OUR turn :).
@@MarkThePage Says the branded+ pile player with his main phase 3. 😉 Also, Dinomorphia lab is the true toxin. Fun fact, Kentragia AND Stealthbergia are lvl 6, and one domain gets you to both (f for rexterm). Do you happen to know any rank 6 monsters that completely win you the game on the spot? Perhaps one that works well with TRAPS?
Hey, I'm ALLOWED to make my opponent sit through an entire pride parade every turn when I build decks this weird. But I can't believe how much literal turn skipping is present in the game right now... At my last tournament, I got hit with the Amorphactor ritual skipping my main phase 1, then Parthian Shot skipping main phase 2.
Really liked your past deck profile video. Is innovation really possible to that extent with other archetypes or individual cards? I wanna get more active on DuelingBook, and am trying to make Star Drawing viable. There's interesting interactions with Lavalval Chain for Infernity Archfiend (the former is banned, but wouldn't be surprised if it came back to 1), and with Soul Servant (DM quick play searcher; can be chained to SD's draw eff to essentially draw the search). How long does it take to make really interesting and cheeky synergizing decks?
Could you please give me an complete Deck Profile of the Sapphire Surprise Deck (no Master Duels version :D), i cant really seak through the docs. Greetings from Germany
Avoid using Salvation as your first search--it can be chained to Droll. If you have a search to spare, search for Miracle first. If going second, Golden Rule and Beacon make for OTKs when the opponent expected to skip your turn.

At the end of the combo I sacrifice everything to summon Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon. NEW TIER ZERO???

This would be an 80-card deck if I was above the law.
This deck reminds me of combo labrynth, with its “let’s make the best of it” hands.
I STILL don't know what Labrynth cards do, because they all have such similar names and art. They do whatever they want and then my turn gets skipped.

This channel was a safe space until you showed up.

Hello. I just have one question about this deck. How do we play through droll?
Avoid using Salvation as your first search--it can be chained to Droll. If you have a search to spare, search for Miracle first. If going second, Golden Rule and Beacon make for OTKs when the opponent expected to skip your turn.
The Branded player was so bad wth lmao
