weird how no one played adamancipator in master duel despite block dragon being at 3. even before halq was banned putting rocksies at 2 just destroyed the deck
What I feel about Adamancipator is the same for Superheavy Samurai: Konami let some decks shine for a long period, while other decks didn't have this possibility. Why Block Dragon and Scarecrow were immediately banned but broken decks like Tearlaments and Kashtira carried the meta for 7 months? It's just unfair
To be fair I played the deck since it was first revealed, and still play it to this day. It still puts the negate boards it did but being honest, missing block dragon and later linkross really made the grind game almost impossible for a deck based around what's basically gambling. I don't want to sound like I am defending the deck on its prime, just hoped I could have taken it to any actual events before its demise.
The deck can grind hella nice, I've out grinded d link before. The crystals let you recycle the synchros and remove randomness from excavations past turn one. It's also not that hard to hold a tuner or signs in hand and that let's you rebuild your board. Getting to leonite is usually enough to win a grind game, especially if you can get guardian in grave. The problem I've had is that the deck just bricks so much, and the power level of your plays are a lot lower than they were when linkross was legal.
At this point I just wish they'd ban Block Dragon on OCG as well so we could at least have a sliver of hope that an errata locking BD into only rocks for the turn would come. That or at least more support for the type, because as it stands we can't get good Rock cards thanks to the deck being untouched there.
@@fumitann Huhh .... Block dragon will never be banned in the OCG, i am an OCG player, although block dragon is a good card, the problem with every "all-in" combo deck in the OCG is you must over extend and when a format having Maxx C, u cant play every extender like "Brain-dead" TCG players, u must play defensive card which make the deck brickable, also OCG meta is way better than TCG meta, not for now cause Brave Phoenix Phantom knight ( that deck will also rules the TCG like in OCG ) after those engine got hit, the OCG meta force every "combo spamming" deck player to think wether they should gamble all-in combing or not, id rather plays a format with maxx C when combo player can know optional resource management rather than dice-roll TCG style, deck can just play extender and play through interruptions like nothing
At minute 3:07 and 3:11 there is a Pop sound caused by the air we blow when we say certain phonemes, to prevent this you can use an Antipop, they're pretty cheap and very useful. I love your videos and I hope it helps :)
OCG has the card ( block dragon ) at 3, eventhough Maxx C does warp the format, at least it keep the deck in check and playable when it needs to, Adamancipator in TCG right now barely can be competitive but in OCG the deck can still perform
Here's something interesting: Despite that Dinos weren't top tier during the Adamcipator + Eldlich format, they did get animadorned Archosaur shortly after Secret Slayers was released, which helped dinos in the consistency department and catch up with the meta. Despite not getting many results at the beginning, it did started to get more tops and placements, and had a good niche in the meta. That being Dolkka + UCT was a auto-win against Adamacipator at least half the time as they don't have any in themed way to answer this board outside of generic cards like DRNM. If they waste their normal summon on Guardian first, you just use UCT effect on it, and if they use guardian effect, dolkka negates it or Misc protects UCT from being affected, which remember, he was at 3 at the time. If they don't, it gets flipped down, and isn't registered as a rock monster by game mechanics, thus they can't extend with the adamancipator tuners, so unless they got block dragon or something, they can't extend. It's so funny how many thought Dolkka + UCT isn't good anymore by 2020 standards, but it's a nightmare for most adamancipator decks to deal with, and it was close to being Tier 0 FYI.
I think you forgot a few things about adamancipator. One: block dragon and union carrier. Since union carrier can equip block dragon to any of the tuner's when you would use said tuber for a summon for example Halq you could search for three and summon a tuner. Secondly there is still Fossil adamancipator and even better prank kids adamancipator. Thirdly Adamancipator in it's prime was argued to be tier 0 because of the insanity of the deck. Fourthly I would have added Monarchs to your list of toxic decks. Facing that deck is like arguing with your parents it's useless and unenjoyable.
So, I'm new to the game and was not playing during Adamancipator. That said, what I do know is that this deck is doing nothing now. What would happen if they brought Block Dragon back to 1 AND banned Granite instead? Would that make the deck better or worse? Just want to bounce ideas around, I hate that this deck and SPYRAL have been banned out of existence (although I completely understand why full-power SPYRAL *cannot* return), my opinion is always the more decks, the merrier.
i honestly think the deck was op and could be very toxic but at the same time i think it's super fun to play and has brought to us some of the best designs i've seen in years,it's sad researcher is so expensive though,i hope to see a reprint in the future
Deck is still decent, can set up boards like Nat Beast, Crystal Wing/Savage, Dweller, I. P. Appalousa etc going 1st. Dragite, Accesscode played also to OTK going 2nd.
1. If we had in person events would full power Adamancipator be tier 0? 2. Can we ban Halqifibrax now? 3. U think in the future Adamancipator could get its own block dragon?
1.yes 2.halq isn't doing anything right now (mainly because konami banned all the tuners that help enable it broken combos) so unless for whatever reason konami wants halq banned or the other tuners unbanned I don't see halq getting banned anytime soon 3.I don't understand what the question completely but konami probably doesn't want to repeated what happens with block dragon
Hey blade, i think you have been hitting your mic in some moments in the video, also i think it would be cool to also see older tier 1 decks (by older i mean more like 3-4 years)
Great vid but am I the only one noticing audio fluctuations? Blade will be speaking full volume one second and then the next it's like I'm listening to him through his bedroom door
It's worse infernobles. The deck can play through a bit more going second but it still doesn't consistently have enough gas to play through most meta deck's end boards. It also struggles to play through two hand traps used at the right time and nibiru is still a nightmare to deal with if you don hit guardian early in the combo
It also has very little follow up and gets blown out by DRNM, and droplets to an extent, not every deck can play after using droplets for 3 after all. The prankids as a whole doesn't really address the problems the deck has, it pretty much just makes getting an appolusa and a link in grave for savage to equip consistent.
Glad to see you back! Please, please get a microphone shield. All of your "p"s pop the microphone really badly. It makes the video physically unpleasant to watch, even though the content is very well-presented otherwise.
I still believe that Linkcross wasn’t the problem. Sure, even without Halq, you can do some dumb s”t with it. But Halq is broken even without it and can still do almost everything on his own. Ban Halq for October 2021

He also thinks pot of greed can come back to one
In ocg it’s free
@@Alex-vk1jw Yeah and the OCG has a certain inscet at 3.
Without Union carrier it can come back
Why not? There are no OP tuners anymore, and no Linkross.
Blade talking about how adamancipator can power through so many negates reminds me of Drytron now
