SEE & COPY MY DECK HERE: ygom.untapped....
its a very basis deck to learn and graveyard effects are in most top meta right now. easy for those that dont want to learn long combos i guess
Here I'll answer the question: it has a really good match up against snake-eyes because of dimensional shifter
or the way the deck feels to pilot feels nice
Birth alone kind of solos snake eye
Beyond the whole, “it can shut down Snake Eye” argument, I think there’s something to be said about how simple the deck is to play.
Of the decks that can play in the meta, most have long drawn out combos in order to access their power.
I know we often say players don’t want to play against long combos. But also some players don’t enjoy doing it themselves.
Kash puts up solid power with very few steps and also can auto win games, so it saves time because you will either win or lose quickly.
And of course Ariseheart is one of the coolest looking cards in the game so I’m sure part of the audience is just in it for the aesthetic.
Easy to learn
Fast games
Splashable
Floodgate boss
Yeah no idea why it’s played a lot
Monkey 🐒 deck for monkey
I feel kshatri is still on top because it actually plays on a mixture of a control/graveyard hate deck + a super aggressive plan past the first turn.
In the current meta, in a best of one format, when you have a lot of decks that either can't play without the graveyard or need to expend some decent resources if they don't have one of the outs to the floodgate, Kshatri can feel like an improved version of stun (not saying they're stun), locking your opponent out of their main game plan, not immediately losing if they go second, a deck that can play some powerful handtraps like shifter, and they even have Fenrir (although at 1) which is a decent board breaker.
Also, not every deck can or plays board breakers that out Arise, and while negation is still a thing, not every single hand will draw the out.
Kshatri-la is definitely frail and inconsistent, but when you only need one game for your conditions to work out, it can seem it's better than how it actually is.
i feel like the reason why is because people see it as like, stun w/ teeth on it. Yes i know you said "but people arent playing the stun cards as much" but regardless the deck itself is very stun-y and floodgate-y. Also this deck is just one of the decks that has an instant win condition with the opponent being able to do very little about it with extra deck rip, pendulum zone block, key zone blocks, drawing shifter.
Its a very easy, its like "good" stun, its stun with the capacity to kill you fast and doesnt insta lose if going second, and you dont have to hard open X floodgate. Its very much of an example of a deck whos power level isnt there, but its strengths are very much geared towards bt1.
I think theres something else to consider that theres some deck loyalty that gets formed when you play a deck when its strong but wanna keep playing it. Like with infamously tear. Thats why people still play pure snakes, its the thing they are familiar with and they know is strong. So when kash was strong, people grew attached to kash and dont wanna shell out gems for a new deck.
for kash you can also just make a second ira and then use the second ira as material for arise heart so he has 3 mats to fire and you still have a ira on board.
Before I quit MD this month I fucked around with Forbidden Lance in Kash and I feel it's a super good card for the deck that should be considered more. The cards that tend to beat Ariseheart this meta are spells and traps (Imperm, Subversion, Sky Bridge, Triple Tac, Super Poly etc), so having a card that blanks those cards for the turn is huge for the deck, and the macro effect if not dealt with is often enough to win the game on it's own (SE, Tear, Mathmech) so even if you make it under Maxx C, those extra cards might not deal with the problem. So because of that you can go 3-mat Ariseheart pass and both play under Nib, and not have to worry about a top decked Imperm/Triple Tac losing you the game. There's also some more utility it gives that's nice (can be a way to play around imperm on a Pathfinder/Unicorn, can be used to play around backrow decks like Lab/Stun), the only problem is that it has to compete with other Non-engine slots
Kash has so many elements that should theoretically add up to a cool, grindy control deck. Birth/Prep/Shangri being able to constantly generate resources, the generic extra deck cards mostly being boardbreaking bosses for turn 2+ instead of turn 1 interuptions, big bodies that can play into boards going 2nd - these are all really cool aspects that I’d love to see in any deck. Sadly, they gave this deck some of the worst designed cards imaginable, and designed it in such a way that it pairs incredibly well with floodgates.
I’ve face so many Kashtira players that I can possibly deduce some of the reasons why it’s popular apart from anti-meta.
1. Like Swordsoul it’s easy to play and puts in enough work to probably get satisfying wins.
2. There are many different strategies for different playstyles.
3. It’s not extra deck reliant. The main deck can hold it’s own decently and the extra deck enhances it.
4. Once the deck gets going it has fairly decent recovery as well.
That’s what I think off my head from observation alone. Actual Kashtira players can correct me now.
Don't play pure but yeah. It's easy, has big monsters that special summon themselves on an open field, and when it goes it can't be stopped. (also having one of the best floodgates against gy necessary decks)
It's a menace but not as bad as some of the... current archetypes.
@@lunarshadow5584 Agreed at full power they were a menace. Plus bricking when facing Ariseheart still sucks. But yea the deck is fun to face now unlike what’s at the top these days.
kash wasnt even the meta when it was at full power in MD , im with you with not understanding why it remains so popular outside events.
MD is the only format you can play a kash deck with the full cast of characters. Pretty sure thats it. Like how MD is the home of kitkallos. I think konami keeps it as a draw for fans of the deck
I feel like for the handtrap slots, I'm torn between droll and ghost mourner. I think I'm leaning more toward droll since I can also bridge it for unicorn with small world like in previous builds. I was wondering if droll is worth running this season against the popular decks we see.
Think some of the main popularity that this archetype has is because of the XYZ event.
Lot of people trying to remember what boards they can make with the hands they can draw.
Now that Yubel is here, obviously one of the answers to that is a deck that constantly banishes yubel cards. So it makes sense they resurface. I’ve also seen floowandereeze return too
There's also the fact that Scareclaw negates the battle protections on Yubel cards, meaning if they don't have Nightmare Pain up(or you remove it with Fenrir or Ariseheart) their board is gone.
Yes floowndareeze in a is a good match against Kashtira because they have the same strategy, the only way I’m able to beat them if by stealing their monsters with arise heart or banishing them face down
I think it's popularity is because it can be a counter to Snake-eyes right now. SE needs the graveyard and if you can shut that down they get screwed real fast.
It was a meta threat in the txt until they banned arise heart because of its macro Cosmo effect
If y’all ever go against lab I recommend making DOUBLE Red Eyes Flare Metal. Lab players like to make big chains, they will self destruct every time,(it’s better than going for Shangri) anyways that’s my out to Lab it’s kinda hard to beat them if you don’t shifter their ass lol
i built it 2 days ago climbed all the way from plat 3 to master 4 and only lost like 4 games i love playing it rn a turn 2 deck
Having birth to 3 really insulates you from nibiru if you play correctly. If you’ve done it right, you’ve activated shangri iras effect before 5 summons so bringing back any kashtira with birth after nibiru drops should convert into arise heart
I am a kashtira main as a tip replace two of your ogur with small world it helps with consistently
the same reason sword soul saw popular play long past the time of it being meta relevant
Kashtira Birth is the true boss monster of the deck
As a yubel player I fear this deck every time I play it lol
Kashtira counters most meta decks. Since most rely on the graveyard to play. Kashtira banishes cards unicorn can snipe the extra deck Fenrir banishes on the field and ogre from your opponents deck all banish them face down. Then there is arise heart that banishes everything so no graveyard and has a quick effect banish.
That data is only from Ranked right? The XYZ cup has nothing to do with it? And wasn't there a Kashtira secret pack too so the deck is more accessible now?
The data is from Ranked, yes. Also Kashtira was still the 4th most popular deck last season before the new secret pack dropped.
I remember making a Kashtira deck when it first came to MD and after playing it for like a week I just ended up dismantling the deck. It just feels boring to play for me personally.
I enjoy a lot of control decks, even including kash, I'm very much not a fan of full on stun though (like actual stun) because at that point either they get the hand they want and you don't play the game or they don't and they scoop so they don't play the game, or like runick stun where arguably no one plays the game. In my opinion yugioh is about interaction or at least doing things, stun is barely even a game of solitaire, no hate on the players, i guess they want the dub that bad or maybe even get like a villain like joy out of it, the real thing that annoys me is that masterduel in particular highly incentivizes it
banishing stuff face-down makes me feel powerful and i like it
With Pathfinder, you still play into nib
People just wanna d-shifter for easy wins, that's all it is. Kashtira itself is really not that good. Loses hard to 1 TTT.
Not playing Rota?
I bet Kashtira-Zoodiac is pretty good too
Horus kash is nice
Kashtira is simple deck for monkey-brained casuals like me.
It’s me I’m people, I play kash boxers though
I mean I wouldn’t consider Kash a good deck in this meta and it Bricks too much but I find it very fun to play
Small World
I play kashtira stun with a lot of traps it’s cancer
You should be banned monkey 🐒 kashtira is a monkey deck
Stupid monkey deck 🤬 Fenrir and unicorn should be banned
Barely xyz festival is kashtira festival
Lex keep em coming 👏🏽🫡🙏🏾💪🏽
