Yeah idk why Konami makes three waves of support of centurion, just to be an okay deck. Meanwhile, VS has gotten one and they’re already done. While in the same deck build pack as Centurion, memento and valmonic received multiple waves of support, like wtf.
Any spell that can be searched by mad love to turn her into a starter as well would be amazing. Obviously some kind of strong field spell as well and maybe one other kind of continuous spell/quick play to help you recycle monsters from banished or bounce them to dodge effects or tag out would be great..
No more like even tho he's a ycs champ he clearly doesn't know what the deck is capable of we literally can take any deck the hardest for us to deal with is snake eye fiendsmith so no inaccurate statements
@@ZombieReese At least you can negate DRNM with Mannadium Reframing. The only way to negate Nib is with Dis Pater, and only if the opponent has played a handtrap earlier and you have banished it from the GY with SP.
I'm sad because I didn't see thunder dragon and swordsoul. Especially swordsoul is basically immune to bystials, plus can make protos, plus it's full power, plus denglong combo at turn one puts on the board 2 omni negates with chixiao and longyuan
Nibiru is like the best hand trap with apollousa banned and swordsoul has no way to play around nib with baronne banned. So as much as I love the deck, it's just not it right now
@@wdililnnah ritual beast has lines that play around nibiru, yeah you may get nibbed BUT bare minimum you set up the link 4 or nochidrago and steeds which is usually enough anyway and because you can contact fuse and banish things from grave like the new Lara to summon nochidrago your Crack back is nuts but swordsoul doesn't really have that. Like you you're right nib hurts ritual beast and I'm not going to deny that
Centurion White Forest can play through Nib with most hands. It either makes Dragoon via muddy or extends with The Iris Swordsoul. Even without Calamity, full endboard is like Dragoon, Auxilla, Diabell/S:P, Blazar and Trapped Centurions ready to make another Blazar or Nova, and a set Woes. Sometimes a Chaos Angel in there if you see Bystials I've seen pretty decent results leaning into board breakers like Droplets and DRNM over handtraps.
I've been testing dragon link fiendsmith lately and its better than people give it credit for. The fiendsmith engine feels so nice in the deck since necroquip actually draws you 1 cause of ravine, lurrie is a discard with a good effect. The deck has a very good yubel matchup cause of bystials and koa ki meiru is basically an ftk, same thing with branded. Also a decent tenpai matchup cause they dont have an in-engine out to borrelend, also seal has a very good target against tenpai :)
Thank you for adding names- I havent played in prob like 8-9 years. but I still keep up to date with the meta to a point but obv don't know the decks based off a shitty jpeg image. So ty for adding names. None of these other youtubers do this and its annoying af
it’s a pain to have to admit that when your opponent draws shifter you’re basically playing a different game, for this reason I will be bold and say Tenpai is the best deck right now
Whats up Pak! Is there a way you can show us some Locals gameplay with the Chimera/Memento Fiendsmith deck with commentary? That would be insightful to see how you play around handtraps.
Every deckof teh best decks with the exception of Ritual Beast can play around droll easily, it doesn't matter if you Droll when Ash was activated the full combo still happen, Yubel can do eveyrthing with Samsara D Lotus ands the combpo bareluy searches, Tenpai just need to search once, even Tier 2 decks like Labrinth searches once in their plays and all opf the otehr stuff comes from Deck to field.
It requires 5 extra deck slots + Pilgrim Reaper. I'm skeptical Tear can fit it with how tight the extra deck is. If you wanted to use it purely for Pilgrim Reaper, you could cut Desirae and Sequence, but that's still 3 extra deck slots (Moon+Requiem+Necroquip) when you could run one Dangerous instead.
Drytron does literally nothing, also if you use the new drytron stuff it locks you so it ain't it right now especially with all the bystials and nibiru in format
@@sajjad6387 as someone who played drytron religiously when it was really good and tried to make it work now, there's decks that are way better and that includes pure voiceless voice
Nahh bruhh that's Cap even tho I personally rather play pure Mementotlan but the Mementotlan has yet to receive The Goblin Rider Imprisonment, Mementotlan Akihiron, and yea the other fiendsmith lvl.4 is coming too along with the new Silhouette Rabbit Trap definitely deserves best deck of the format hands down
@@jotaabreu4580 As a HERO player I’ve been able to fairly consistently play through at least 1 interruption (maybe 2-3 depending on the hand, what kind of interruption it is, and what they hit with it) I know this is a list about right now so I’m not holding this against the list but the evil HERO support will also help in this offering another starter that doesn’t require a normal summon and giving 2 negates to be less susceptible to board breakers.
@@chocolatechara01 I'm a HERO fan tbh, waiting for the new support but as far as I can see, every time I see heroes on my locals they never do good... but they can be just bad players
@@jotaabreu4580 Oof. The most recent locals I’ve been to HEROes (not me but another guy) got 2nd place. I believe with a good pilot they can do fairly well. They don’t compare to snake-eyes or Yubel though.
@@Alan-gt5lr Versago The Destroyer or Dark Hex Seal can be subbed in Kitkallos' place. And King of the swamp but the dark attribute on Versago and dark hex works better in 60 card branded pile
@@oFABLEDo ig that would give you the rulkallos but imo the point of tear in branded was to get advantage and mill not thicken up ur endboard. You only have 3 targets in a 60 card deck with only 1 grass.
why do people like to lie so much your the only person who hasn't woken up everybody else knows this format has the same top 3 decks and maybe ritual best. unless your mean a grass version of branded and runick have no right being in top tier because there not.
He is a branded player rn ofc he is biased😂 but runick up there is runick stun which definitely is very strong have to see how the skill drain hit affects it
bruh ritual beast is good only becuz of 1 card , protos, ban this bs ,also fiendsmith musket is very very very weak only 1 person in the world can play it just like plant deck
Now tell me specifically why, Hero is no longer “okay.” What made it worse? Asking for specifics: was it a set, a specific card or mechanic? I understand power creep but give me card names.
@@jameshaverkamp5181makes sense that deck has now way to play around nib at all at best they chain dpe and bring it back you can literally wait so long with the nib cause nothing threatens it

@@ZombieReese Crossout Dessignator is such a good card. I'll probably play it in main if Nib gets more popular, which it'll probably do.

Low end of can cook

Seeing you try a tear deck at locals would be cool
Its nice to see Chimera getting some respect from a more notable player. Definitely a sleeper deck if you aren't prepared for it

Played Purrly twice at a regional on HEROes
Plasma is a soloution

Have u seen the unchained fiendsmith build with magical muskets? If so what do u think about it?
What are your thoughts on Mermail with the upcoming support in rage of the abyss?
Im thinkin about picking up plants, could you make a plant link video
Whats up Pak! Is there a way you can show us some Locals gameplay with the Chimera/Memento Fiendsmith deck with commentary? That would be insightful to see how you play around handtraps.
GIMMICK PUPPETS can still FTK they didn’t really nerf it. Just made a little bit more inconsistent not even by that much.
Rolling on a Budget series? Maybe Ritual Beast? Or tenpai?
we're in a droll format
We're not
You're right, it is rather droll 😅
Droll Vs yubel is hand looping yourself

I had my doubts about tenpai … but I’ve won all my games on db .. like 10 games
NGL memento is really bad until next set. Losing fiendsmith as full combo murdered the decks consistency.
There is no way Plant Link is on the same tier as Mimighoul lol
Sad to see no ice barrier. It is in a far better position than infernoid.
Where would you put RaidRaptor ?
are handtraps or boardbreakers in the main better for Tenpai?
