I meant to comment this on the last one: I wouldn't want the players to stop playing the decks they want to because they obviously want to win but watching snake eyes do the same plays with very little variation was getting a little tiring to see. This was a breath of fresh air
I get that. Even playing my favorite engines in Snake-Eye wasn't doing a good job of making it more interesting. Hopefully some new cards do something about that, and if not then I'll just play Pure/Tri-Brigade Fire Kings and run the new Striker cards in Orcust or something.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that on top of the more interesting meta without Poplar, the Grand Finals also were not decided by Maxx C? So refreshing.
You were crazy this duel. I was hoping you coud somehow bring out Rainbow Neos to Calamity lock the opponent,but your deck doesn't have much neo spacians ig. Still, I loved your games.
Please more tournaments with Poplar banned. This was the best one in the last months and would be awesome to continue seeing different decks being played instead of 14 Snake-Eyes players.
I love using Golden swordsoul in my centur-ion deck, It gives much consistency by Combining both Swordsoul and Centurion in one deck, Thabks to Centur-ion Auxila, The most broken card in Swordsoul
@@kusanali9824 That's why I say with perfect play. I know Lab has ways to out it but outting it usually means you're going to trade 2 for 1 or even 3 for 1 and that leaves you vulnerable to any follow-up plays.
That Runick/Bystial vs Mannadium/Tear match was great, really highlights how amazing Runick is for the game by actually having proper duels that last a couple turns with lots of interaction, instead of the boring non-games so many other decks create.
great? my guy high or something? gayest fking deck in existence, GY hate is unreal u just sit there and watch ur deck get eaten alive. Fun? Maybe for the bozos playing runick otherwise nah fk that shit
I swear manadium visas is the most pathetic deck I've ever seen. Does not have more follow up than making a barone an omni and a changing. I can't even for real. Props to runnick kicking his ass with 1 fountain
Ordinarily I find Heroes kind of annoying but Grand Magus was cooking! I don’t like the floodgates but the go-second board wipe with engine and then big boy beat down made it hard not to root for him.
@@Kintaku Heroes dont have any of negates, just have pop cards as a form of disruption, one or two floodgates, which is not just summon and gg like fossil dyna, I really dont understand why call it as annoying.
@@diogofernandes4973 pretty simple. Plasma and Dark Law. I don’t enjoy playing against floodgates. Especially one-sided ones. It’s turn 1 is also just a super long combo just to end on those floodgates a lot of the time on ladder so I just tend to not enjoy it. Love the archetype, hate fighting it.
@@Kintaku Makes sense, for me I dont care too much, because Konami almost dont create good cards for heros, have really good combo starters but unless you use floodgates your end board it just DPE + Shining Neos Wingman, so I can tolerate just 2 floodgate. But I would really prefer Heros with other boss monsters, Dark Law and Plasma are card which dont could exist in a healthy game.
Just looking at the range of decks in this top 8 makes me want to watch. The past few I've skipped just due to Snake-eyes dominating and filling the top spots, just boring. Hoping for more of this :)
Maxx "C" is a problem entirely because it both draws and baits away Ash Blossom, which has so many fewer answers to in comparison, heck it even plays through Macro fields unlike a lot of old hand traps that still see a lot of usage.
As someone who enjoys snake eyes it’s still cool to see newer stuff. Meta lovers appreciate it but I find Horus is everywhere now , nothing worse then versing full anti meta stun decks set 5 haha . Horus and unchained still seem to be the coolest interactive decks
I found the tournament way more entertaining without snake eyes everywhere, but I understand if people want you to just abide the MD banlist so it's more representative of the competitive environment.
Can you update your top best free to play decks because some of your old stuff is outdated i like to get back in this and yugioh site is only tournament stuff and store is outdate too for your decks
@@maunabesanika a deck that can destroy 1 card in your hand in turn 0, place and activate virus with no effort, a deck that resolve everything like Floo with the "your turn is my turn" engine with their infinite chains and interaction? Mate, I played lab too, but just because I did it I shouldn't deny it's a toxic deck. You are trying to deny it like SE when they say that fkng poplar is not broken 🤷♂️
@@yugiohdungeonmaster the pop 1 is equivalent to handtrap that require at minimum 2 specific cards in hand, that can be stopped with other interuption like called or ash, also risking their boss monster to be removed from play for the rest of the duel since cards like S:P exist.

If you consider that playing on opponent turn is toxic than that means every deck that has cards that can activate their effect on opponent turn is toxic, which mean idk.. almost all modern deck?

Mannadium/shs/snake-eyes combo for like 15 minutes and then on your turn they negate all of your card is also toxic? Vanquish soul destroying and searching cards on your turn is also toxic? Crooked cook on defense position while waiting for all exodia part is also toxic? Nurse burn is also toxic? If there's something like health level of the game and the reason why it's so low, it's because people keep thinking that a strategy/gameplay of certain deck is toxic because they cant beat them
A lot of floodgates are in an awful place right now, so decks playing them more frequently has been less annoying than it used to be. HERO having one sided nonsense from Dark Law to Cosmo Neos to work with is dumb, but I can see why some people think they need those to succeed.
3:00 Quick ruling check. Does salamangreat charge still go through the called by? It can still shuffle the remaining 2 cards into the deck and summon nothing right?

This is one of the best tournaments I have seen in a while.
HERO best deck!!
bro you did soo good, ignore the hero haters in chat they probably lost to heros and malding cause they're bad
The GOAT
You were crazy this duel. I was hoping you coud somehow bring out Rainbow Neos to Calamity lock the opponent,but your deck doesn't have much neo spacians ig. Still, I loved your games.
man you really did such an amazing run , hope you will win next time
you did great just really bad luck getting a hand that dies to Ash at the end.
One of the best meta weeklys since the snake eyes cards dropped, we saw so many different decks not just boring SE combos. Fuck snake eyes!
Wow. Banning poplar actually kills snake eyes? I mean it's understandable since this card alone can do too much
The limit one event just made me realize, even if they limit one of the SE monsters they will just become a splashable engine
Imagine banning Flamberge. They'd be crying a river
Banned poplar konami
👁️👄👁️
Banning thier best starter will always mean it dies and never see play.
The thing with snake eyes is they use to need an extender an somenthing to sent to the GY,and poplar provides both
can we keep poplar banned till the next snake-eyes banlist hit? This meta weekly was so nice to watch.
those hero vs labyrinth duels were amazing , loving it ❤
Please more tournaments with Poplar banned. This was the best one in the last months and would be awesome to continue seeing different decks being played instead of 14 Snake-Eyes players.
the golden swordsoul and quen combo is sick, truly looping machine
I love using Golden swordsoul in my centur-ion deck, It gives much consistency by Combining both Swordsoul and Centurion in one deck, Thabks to Centur-ion Auxila, The most broken card in Swordsoul
So this was basically just AGOV meta nix Unchained. I’m really sad we missed out on this in MD because Konami rushed out poplar.
I'll be honest, having less Snake eye have truly make this more enjoyable.
"How does Labrynth deal with DPE?"
They do not. With perfect play, you whittle down the Lab player's resources and they just roll over.
GIGACHAD players: i use red reboot
you can handle dpe as lab but it becomes almost impossible when the opp has dpe with multiple disrubtion on top of that but yeah its very annoying
@@kusanali9824 That's why I say with perfect play. I know Lab has ways to out it but outting it usually means you're going to trade 2 for 1 or even 3 for 1 and that leaves you vulnerable to any follow-up plays.
IDP can work, but finding the right time to set it up can be tricky.
DPE dies as soon as Lovely hits the field and the Lab player has a non-destruction removal. But without that, yeah it’s tough.
This has been one of the best tournaments of the year so far! Great call on banning that card.
Great tournament! Was really hoping heroes would've won😅
Ban Nickiboy he made me brick (this is a joke)
Unironically one of the most fun tourneys we've had this year. The matches are very entertaining and interactive, props to the players👏
That Runick/Bystial vs Mannadium/Tear match was great, really highlights how amazing Runick is for the game by actually having proper duels that last a couple turns with lots of interaction, instead of the boring non-games so many other decks create.
i like it too but i gotta admit. runick is kinda toxic lol. not hating it though cause I'm basically one of the pollutants.
nah fk that deck toxic ass GY hate bro runs 2 Called By, Bystial Package and fking Runick cards. Actual banish merchant 1 trick pony type deck
the issue is that Runnick gets INSANE resources and 80% of the time it's just a stun deck
great? my guy high or something? gayest fking deck in existence, GY hate is unreal u just sit there and watch ur deck get eaten alive. Fun? Maybe for the bozos playing runick otherwise nah fk that shit
More videos like this awesome seeing other decks
great custom banlist. fun to watch and the hero player made his matches very exciting.
Refreshing to see good yu gi oh !
People donating so much money to a streamer... like dont you need the money for yourself, those people already are Set for life till death 😂😂

It would be nice if the Meta Weekly Logo would be a little lower on the screen, such that the activated effects would be compleately readable.
JADEN !!! 😭😭
Dinos messed game 3 by summoning lars over keeping 2 monsters and go for game, and he knew both traps are dead damn what a shame
Yes it was technically a win for dinos
yeah he was probably rushing bc of time i think,loosing on time is retarded imo, they should change it back
@@lolekbolek7655 yeah mostly this, couldnt add up how much damage i had on board (i thought lars + uct would be enough).
@@zShaNKeRzthank gawd 😅

Man... Horus is a huge engine to consider playing. It's sooo good.
How is salad here but not mathmech
Glad Heroes is getting some light. Where is RUclipsRay with his Dark Magicians?
Salaman not great HUH 😂😂😂😂😂
As a salad player myself this one hurt haha
Runic again proving to be complete BS deck. Fountain should shuffle max 1 or 2.
I need a hero 🎵 (and poplar banned)
Hero best deck!
Grand Magus you're the best Hero player out there. Such beautiful, well coordinated and cool plays.
Unban Merrli make tear great again
Thank you Gia
I love the duels but damn even though bystial runick win I can't play it on ladder when all my opponents are fire hahahhaha
i have huge success with naturia runick horus on ladder. it is too oppressive for snake eye, and has extension that bystial runick just doesn’t have.
Lets goooo heroes !!!!

please ban polar again the deck diversity was so amazing to see
The Runnick Bystial deck is a Yoink I will tell you what
dekayed was soo lost during the first duel of the last game
Keep it banned please, very enjoyable to watch again.
Ban again for next week unless new ban list shakes stuff up
Bystial Runick is one of the coolest decks I've seen in Master Duel! 😲 Ban ALL the floodgates, unlimit Runick, and LET RUNICK COOK! 😤
Why don't more people use mikanko sleeves, I use them in my scareclaw deck and the amount of people that leave an open field can't be coincidence
people must be super stupid or their deck cannot put up a good field against Mikanko for whatever in god forsaken name they are playing.
If MD had existed in the times of Sun Tzu:
Worst lab player lol. This is why unchained lab was way better
I'd like to see you do better with that hand lol
It it weren't for Maxx C and Ash Blossom these matches would be near perfect, but those 2 handtraps really make some matches boring af.
The 1st match with the salamangreat player didnt even get to play his Deck in the last duel. I wanted to see a comeback at least 😢
Maxx "C" is a problem entirely because it both draws and baits away Ash Blossom, which has so many fewer answers to in comparison, heck it even plays through Macro fields unlike a lot of old hand traps that still see a lot of usage.

A breath of fresh air.. all SE match-up was getting boring. Made no sense watching top 8 when it was all SE lol. More of this pls 🙏
Loved this Top 8 so much. Honestly banning Poplar was the best idea ever. Whoever thought of that, you my sir deserve a prize!
I found the tournament way more entertaining without snake eyes everywhere, but I understand if people want you to just abide the MD banlist so it's more representative of the competitive environment.
Keep Poplar ban tournament pls,it makes the show more enjoyable instead of boring Snake Eyes mirror match all along
I played Evol in SE at Raleigh, never got a feature to show it off😢. Had a winning record before dropping for giant card(topped it instead)
How lovely of Yugioh Game. Just go first, cook and negate all opponents play on the next turn.
poplar was the problem ..
no more one archetype deck dominating...
Ofc banning the best starter of the deck completly kills it
Can you update your top best free to play decks because some of your old stuff is outdated i like to get back in this and yugioh site is only tournament stuff and store is outdate too for your decks
Looking at the release it's fire king next tsk another fucking fire now I want an errata on my bystial make it hit light, dark, and fire hahhahahaha
Please do this more often, i was so tired of snake eyes mirrors, it's bad enough seeing them in ranked
labrynth got pooped on oh my god
Faith in humanity restored
Yeah that grand finals was all kinds of tragic. Good week though, all kinds of spicy decks.
This was way more exciting to watch! Way more diversity, way more interaction!
I love runick, im happy hugin winning this tournament.
everyone cheering for hero, felt like a superhero movie i was watching
Watching heroes wipe labrynth genuinely made my week
it should be an unspoken rule if that there is a runick/stun player ur allowed to go full BM to rub it in
Dkayed weeping over the heros player getting eliminated 💀😭
I wanted heroes to win ❤❤ good games, snake eyes won't be missed
so glad to see so much diversity in a tournament. it's awrsome
Heroes is either go 2nd otk or floodgate turbo
Actually your wrong heroes is the best deck
Yeah actually you’re wrong pal
Looks at Dark Law
he's got a point
@@absoul112 Don't ignore Plasma
And their own calamity lock card but I'm not sure if it's run often to be fair. Go big or end on a huge rock token.
damn that rescue-ace player could have been a hero,why
Runick trash, I prefer Rescue-Ace. Trash and toxic deck.
Banning Poplar makes the meta so much more fun for sure
22:44 TRINITY CRUSH!!
Tear deck got counter so hard with bystial runick
No more snake eyes felt so refreshing. Finally some variety
keep doing this
For the algorithm
Damn. Idonesian skilled duelists are on onother level
Limit poplar and flamberge to one maybe
Yup keep poplar banned. Way more fun to watch this. Rescue ace still gay as fuck too but it’s better than nothing for sure
This was so much fun to watch, leave poplar out lol

the 3 card must remain in place for charge to be resolves...
i believe you must have 3 when it resolves.
no poplar and everyone bricked
I'm glad Lab got destroyed by heros 🔥
I have a question. Are kash and tear not the same deck or do they just interchange cards?
They're not the same. Tearlaments Kashtira is just a card they can both use.
