Korey's deck profiles are the best, because no one provides insight and analysis like he does. He can tell you exactly why, when, where, and how he uses his choices. And he isn't scared to provide this insight to the community, not afraid that other players will get an upper hand on him or copy him, because he can play around it. Great job, man. Thanks for posting this too!
Best deck profile in a while I love or every choice is well explain and how everything make sense. Plus it is actually very fun to play on DN. Good job Korey !!!
What's that white stuff on his mouth? o.O Also there's a pretty neat artifact, the purple shield. It makes it so that you cannot attack artifacts for that turn. Might provide some utility. Vs Dolls if you ss Scythe they can just chain El Fusion. I think Shaddoll Artifact is still a very strong yet. And dolls still have a huge match up vs BA, mix them back up with artifacts, they're still super powerful. There's a reason why moral got hit to one when it did, while people may be biased and disagree, but truth is, artifact dolls were better than denko dolls.
Great deck profile and wise words from our national champion , if i was to play this deck i would try to fit shadow mirrow in the side for the shaddol match up. I really dont think de-fusion is good right now sense the release of el-shaddol fusion and yes before someone point out i know scyth is dark but shadow mirror is just too powerful and IMO all rogue decks should run em in their side.
I thank you buddy, I actually had 2 Shadow-Imp's in place of the Night Beams the night before, just the Loli's convinced me to do the switch. Ultimately, Shadow-Imp still allows them to make giant Monsters, so you'll usually lose to a Construct, hence why I went for the 1 De-Fusion, to just allow them to Fusion Summon then get rid of that Monster. Maybe I could tune the rest of the deck where Shadow-Imp is better, like adding Mirror Force or Dimensional Prison.
this decks very good the only weaknesses i see are light imprisoning mirror denko sekka and skill drain(despite the amount of back row removal you have) i give you props for making a very inovative deck but why didnt you test thunder king is my one question
I tested Thunder King, and it just isn't that great against anything, while hurting my own deck. Against Shaddolls, they just Fusion Summon a big monster and run it over. Burning Abyss doesn't get affected by it except for Scarm (which has 2000 DEF), and Qliphort will just equip Saqlifice to their Monster or activate a card that swings the ATK by 300 (one of the many Pendulum Monsters). Not only that, but it turns off your own Pot of Duality and Myrmeleo. If anything, it is probably decent against Satellarknight, but I don't think it is good right now, and could probably even be put to 2 on the F&L list.
How'd he lose to Shaddolls? I have my own modified version of this and have gotten over 5 Shaddoll deck so far, completely stopped 3 of them from doing anything, and even demolished 2 Qliphorts out of the 3 I've played so far.
i dont understand the downerd magician thing, does the opponent need to have 2 spellcasters in order for it to work? what deck would this card play against?
I would like to see Korey's approach to a non meta fun deck like crystal beasts or toons, those are my favorite decks, I've built pretty decent ones, but it'd be cool to see insight from a pro
I have a card ruling question. If I have no spell/traps after my beagalltach gets destroyed, can I still special it even though I have no cards to destroy?
Dumb question but what happens if your opponent activates Shadoll Fusion (Or El) And you Summon Scythe with call or sanctum. Do they still get the fusion monster?
All of them ^ are right. I actually just never made Scythe against Shaddolls, unless I am 100% certain they don't have El Shaddoll Fusion in hand, because even if you Sanctum>Scythe during their Draw Phase, they can just El Shaddoll Fusion in response.
Basically, she makes it a bit harder for the Qliphort player to get field presence without Skill Drain or an expensive/risky pendulum summon, since any non-tribute-summoned Qliphort monster is vulnerable to Ragnazero's effect if their attack is boosted by Saqlifice or Carrier/Disk/Stealth being in the pendulum zone.
Right, I forgot all about that. I was just hung up on their own effects of being reduced to 1800 if summoned without a tribute, but I was like well 1800 becomes their original attack so rag wouldn't work. Forgot all about saq or the pendulum zone. Thanks
The only problem I have with the deck is that it is meant for the big 4 and works well against them against rogue decks I get stalled out and find it hard to win
Just make sure you use all of your resources optimally! Playing reactive Traps make it hard to win unless you precisely counter all of your opponent's plays.
I dont really agree with playing soul charge, solemn and double time space. Just so many life point costy cards especially in a deck where your monsters dont protect you too well. Thats at least my view
The game ends pretty quickly to where the LP hopefully don't matter. Also, it isn't like you are going to play all of those cards in the same game, you will usually activate 1 or 2 of the pack of them, which yes costs LP, but hopefully helps you capitalize the gamestate back into your favor.
KoreyMcDuffie Korey the deck built looks sound, what you can do to make the deck more control based is add madolches, You will have more control and be able to dominate, Well tell me what you think about that idea or are you satisfied with the results that you have came up with.
Nigel Cox The deck is probably too tight to play Madolche with it, but they are a similar strategy. I should probably look more into them in the future when brewing a deck like this.
KoreyMcDuffie Korey thanks for being openminded for other suggestions.Adding Madolche, you dominate your own turn, while with Artifacts, you dominate the enemy's. So basically you claim their turn for your own. that just an insight if you want to take the build in that direction. lf you decide to however implement that idea would you enlightened me of what choices you use, it be good to get another perspective in seeing a build like this work. Have a great new year nice chatting with you.
The format is very stale. This deck and the break the meta certainly broke the monotony of the pre secrets atmosphere. Nekroz may shake things up here shortly.

I agree! :-)
TheOjamaKnight 0tk me too
Thank you for the kind words! :)
KoreyMcDuffie Keep up the good work!
Lol that's not the real korey
Rest in peace Korey 😥
"Grand Mole was like a card that I think a lot more people should look into."
:D
Truly an amazing, innovative player. R.I.P.
So the words of an mtg player think on your opponents turn and set things up for your turn. This is the perfect deck for an mtg player.
Best deck profile in a while I love or every choice is well explain and how everything make sense. Plus it is actually very fun to play on DN. Good job Korey !!!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
It's so awesome that Korey a Magic player is undeniably one of the greatest minds in yugioh!
Rest in peace
Love it! Especially the Mind Control/Snatch Steal-Downered Magician-thing
My FAVORITE video here on the channel! This was such good innovation for the Artifact theme. :)
RIP Korey. 🥺😢💔
Great deck profile one of the best deck builders out there
Thank you sir.
This glare annoyed me, but thank you for Korey's deck!
Rip korey

Scythe is Light. All artifacts are.

Lel i derped.
My bad
Korey, have you thought about trying a fire fist engine with this deck?
this decks very good the only weaknesses i see are light imprisoning mirror denko sekka and skill drain(despite the amount of back row removal you have) i give you props for making a very inovative deck but why didnt you test thunder king is my one question

oh i get it thank you
KoreyMcDuffie so essentially when it comes to tking he hurts them to a degree but your hurting yourself more with it
whats the second set of 3 monsters
x2 space time warming and soul charge really reduce ur hp to low levels was that ever an issue?
Maybe hands in the side deck for Qli instead of Fairy Wind. He has 3 MST, 3 Ignition and Moralltach.
The problem with the Hands is they will just Carrier one away and try to OTK you. Ignition, MST, and Fairy Wind are much more reactive.
How'd he lose to Shaddolls? I have my own modified version of this and have gotten over 5 Shaddoll deck so far, completely stopped 3 of them from doing anything, and even demolished 2 Qliphorts out of the 3 I've played so far.
Deck list or it didn't happen
Real nice deck!
Thank you! It was a fun experiment!
i dont understand the downerd magician thing, does the opponent need to have 2 spellcasters in order for it to work? what deck would this card play against?
He mains Downerd because he can Snatch Steal or Mind Control Dante and use Dante to summon Downerd.
Break the meta, Korey!
I don't get it why the artifacts got so hyped on the EXACT banlist when morraltach got limited ._.
Dude I see Rewrite stuff right there! Awesome man!
I would like to see Korey's approach to a non meta fun deck like crystal beasts or toons, those are my favorite decks, I've built pretty decent ones, but it'd be cool to see insight from a pro
i love crystal beasts
I have a card ruling question. If I have no spell/traps after my beagalltach gets destroyed, can I still special it even though I have no cards to destroy?
+Ash Ketchum Yup.
Dumb question but what happens if your opponent activates Shadoll Fusion (Or El) And you Summon Scythe with call or sanctum. Do they still get the fusion monster?
Yes they get the fusion cause scythe is an activated effect and will activate in a separate chain after the fusion and call/sanctum resolves.
yes scythe is a trigger effect so it will resolve in a new chain
Thats why you need to anticipate the fusion and activate before it.
All of them ^ are right. I actually just never made Scythe against Shaddolls, unless I am 100% certain they don't have El Shaddoll Fusion in hand, because even if you Sanctum>Scythe during their Draw Phase, they can just El Shaddoll Fusion in response.
KoreyMcDuffie awesome deck. it works really well against ba. but why so many artifacts. do they ever clog
RIP Korey.
What kind of sleeves does he use for the main deck?
Looks kind of like white Dragonshields
no rank 3's?
This dude so pro
:)
Korey said in this video that he didn't lose to any burning abyss in the tournament this weekend of arg, but he lost to me and I played burning abyss.
yeah me 2
I lost to it during the $1K and in fun matches, but I didn't lose to it in the Main Event.
Korey nice job man love the deck profile wot an.insight too :) keep going
How is Ragnazero good against qliphorts?
Basically, she makes it a bit harder for the Qliphort player to get field presence without Skill Drain or an expensive/risky pendulum summon, since any non-tribute-summoned Qliphort monster is vulnerable to Ragnazero's effect if their attack is boosted by Saqlifice or Carrier/Disk/Stealth being in the pendulum zone.
Right, I forgot all about that. I was just hung up on their own effects of being reduced to 1800 if summoned without a tribute, but I was like well 1800 becomes their original attack so rag wouldn't work. Forgot all about saq or the pendulum zone. Thanks
So..... it's a HAT deck without the H?
The only problem I have with the deck is that it is meant for the big 4 and works well against them against rogue decks I get stalled out and find it hard to win
Just make sure you use all of your resources optimally! Playing reactive Traps make it hard to win unless you precisely counter all of your opponent's plays.
you should try Enemy controller / Creature swap
I tried Enemy Controller a lot, no way to really play Creature Swap without the Hands.
As much as I hated HAT's first hand and draw issues I miss the deck :/
Yes! Somebody who still plays the Artifacts!
They have treat me well.
Blair Hunter in the background like " WHERE THEY AT THO? "
Blaiiiiiiir Batman Hunter
nice deck .. i mean it was good two formats ago in the h.a.t. format but still nice... also denko sekka says hi :D
HAT was pretty good to me :)
I dont really agree with playing soul charge, solemn and double time space. Just so many life point costy cards especially in a deck where your monsters dont protect you too well. Thats at least my view
The game ends pretty quickly to where the LP hopefully don't matter. Also, it isn't like you are going to play all of those cards in the same game, you will usually activate 1 or 2 of the pack of them, which yes costs LP, but hopefully helps you capitalize the gamestate back into your favor.
He should throw this in shaddoll artifact gg
Most yugioh players twitch like a crack addict without their fix for the week.
You think this is a game? :B
I also main downerd for BA lol^-^
Rip
when i saw scythe control i assumed it was dreadscythe master lol
haha nope
Scythe control? You know this is just HAT with 2x Scythe in place of Tach
And without the hands
LMAO.......DUDE IN THE BACKGROUND!! TOO FUNNY
Blair thinks hes slick! lol
Why am I looking at a bunch of upside down cards?
K.A.T. anti meta for the win
Scythe Control :P
Lol I am the real Korey!
He's my inspiration. ( no homo)
Dude this game seems really high on drugs. jesus.
Dat adderall
Bro you lost to one burning abyss I was standing right behind you when it happened you got 2-0 in fact
I lost to in fun matches and in the $1K, but I didn't lose to it in the Main Event.
Nope you lost to Victor Venezuela in the main event again you got 2-0

Korey had some white stuff on his mouth at the end. Someone got excited :D nice deck Profile I is subbed now :D
:) all i can do is smile
no homo :/
way to make a deck that loses to denko
congrats
Lol
3x Dionaea, Mind Control, Snatch Steal will hopefully show up!
The format is very stale. This deck and the break the meta certainly broke the monotony of the pre secrets atmosphere. Nekroz may shake things up here shortly.
Yeah, Nekroz destroy this deck.
