The azamina cards do actually nothing for chimera and it is a pretty sizable package. If I wanted to add a negate to start turns with I think nightmare throne is significantly better, but I'm probably more likely to just cut the edge imp package and play a smaller deck count than to replace it with the azamina stuff
@@AcarArslan-sp2wb most recent list for regular chimera fiendsmith is in the description, but if you're interested in a build that has a negate to start with my most recent video has a yubel engine in the list and its pretty fun to play
But what happens if they nobiru u on 16:39 after the apprentice effect ? U would lose 3 bodies and cant go into FS link 2? Wouldnt ur turn be ober or is there something im missing ? Why the oppo should let u make link2 there ?
If they don't nib you before you summon apprentice they likely don't have it, otherwise they risk not being able to use it at all if you just make Caesar with the two level 6 fiends on the field
Love the in depth guide and strategy from both of you all! With this upcoming format do you expect chimera to be competitive & do you think putting the azamina cards into this deck gives it yet another overall boost to raise its ceiling?
@@H0LYB00F I haven’t played around with it too much tbh but I think the azamina cards might be just win more. You already win majority of the games you go first and going second they don’t seem too ideal as the continuous spell is a pretty big choke point
2 is better because it lets you banish to summon back aerial eater, but if you are playing diabolica you can definitely get away with only playing 1 and replacing the second with a lacrima instead
Should've panned to the ceiling, would've brought the video to new heights, keep flying though! love the vids you'll be on a plane to the top in no time
I know you already commented about the Azamina engine in the video. What do you think of @CultofOtaku Fiendsmith Azamina Chimera Deck? Is it still not worth it? Summoning the Diabellze for free and getting into Desirae more easily, and of course the omni negate from Silvera. Would love to hear your thoughts!
I think if I were to try and build chimera and fit everything, my build would look pretty different from his. Personally, I really don't think the azamina cards are good in chimera right now because there is quite literally no synergy other than the typing and I would rather just have anything else in my main deck. Chimera already wins majority of the time going first so it doesn't really make sense to me to lean even heavier into a t1 board. Maybe that changes over time with more support cards but just looking at the deck from a post rota perspective I wouldn't take it to a tournament
Hey ggGio, in the video you guys talk about how you do not need more than one big-winged, but the lists you show has two of them still. did you change your mind later or?
@@aybarskoc8017 I had some different versions of lists I was toying with up that had 2 big wing. Personally I go back and forth on playing 1 or 2. I think it’s just a mental adjustment you have to get used to (how many you play) and typically will side one out in games anyways if I play 2. I really enjoy having both copies in my deck but I think it’s probably most correct to only be on one
@@ggGio yeah fair, I am also on 1 now and I havent looked back. fiendsmith version is not dependent on berfomet resolving as much as the other version are
I think its a bit overkill in chimera because you generally aren't fusing for des irae. If thats part of your game plan then its definitely worth including but you're almost always fusing for aerial eater or berfomet in this deck, so the extra light fiend body doesn't do a ton (it can be neat for making a chaos angel though!)
Why aren't you playing a small Yubel Engine? 3 field spell 1 Spirit and 1 OG Yubel. You can fusion with the fiends etc. Making Phantom is too strong right now.
I have a 50 card variant I've been toying around with that uses this. Its a lot of fun and very strong for sure, its just tough playing into boards if you draw 1 of the 2 brick yubels so if you're trying to maximize playability and consistency its hard to justify. Its a crazy strong tech with chimera though being able to make the phantom over and over again
Not likely. There really isn't any synergy with chimera other than the illusion typing. Its not worth cutting cards from the already extremely tight extra deck for imo
How important do you think it is you play dark fusion? It feels like im rarely to ever in a position where I can/need to search for adusted gold to grab it
Definitely a cuttable card for sure. I don't play it in my newest list. I did miss it a bit over the weekend but thats only because I kept hard drawing the adusted gold. Its nice for playing into boards sometimes but definitely not mandatory by any means. Its a bit more realistic to play if you play diabolica since you can add back the gold to search it after combo'ing but thats more of a niche thing you can do
There's a decklist in the description with most of the cards we mentioned in the video, with the exception of silhouhatte rabbit and the target, angel statue - azurune
Some hands it can be pretty tough to play through droll for sure. Tough to include crossout though because it means you also have to find room for the crossout targets. Going first, if you side thrusts and get drolled, you can thrust for a turn skip trap (dbarrier, different dimension ground, etc) and try again on the follow up
@@ggGio as I kept watching the video I realized thrust is a good option but would that just be a good option to side in or is it just better to main the thrusts?
@@rred1023 I think its better as a side option. Nightfall mentioned siding out some fiendsmith stuff and cards like diabellze/diabolica for the thrusts when you go second and you take out cards like dark ruler/droplet when you go first for it. The targets vary so its very matchup dependant

Amazing video man. Love the questions brought to the table and seeing nightfall combo with the deck is insane.
Yeah every time I think I have this deck down pat I'm shown something new. Gotta love Chimera
🐐
Wow amazing content, I learned so much, I feel ready for YCS Niagara!!
side events won't know who hit em
Would’ve loved to see nightfalls lists. Great Video! :)
Check the description ;)
amazing video but what do you think about cutting edge imp engine for azamina package

If I wanted to add a negate to start turns with I think nightmare throne is significantly better, but I'm probably more likely to just cut the edge imp package and play a smaller deck count than to replace it with the azamina stuff

I am genuinely planning on replacing Caesar with Goblin's Crazy Beast for my locals. Is it enough against decks like Tenpai?

Hey, late to the party here - is 2 Engraver needed in this deck, or can you get away with 1? Thanks

@@markomilovic5744 huge shoutout to my #1 fan
What due you think is better deck for this meta in your opinion memento fiend … or chimera fiend
i cut moon of te closed heaven for the second chimera, i never miss the moon
Great video! More like this

What you think about yubel chimera
I think it depends on how heavy the yubel engine you put in is, but 3 throne 1 spirit 1 yubel was treating me nicely when I tried it!

What do you guys think about making Lyna the charmer as a light spell caster to go into the azamina fusions
Really hard to find the extra deck space for the azamina stuff already as it is, probably too hard to fit a lyna in as well tbh
are you adding azamina when it comes out?
Not likely. There really isn't any synergy with chimera other than the illusion typing. Its not worth cutting cards from the already extremely tight extra deck for imo

2 adusted is a tech option o.o
What is the last main deck card?

Is it worth playing crossout in the main or in the side? I got hit with droll and it was nearly unplayable.
Some hands it can be pretty tough to play through droll for sure. Tough to include crossout though because it means you also have to find room for the crossout targets. Going first, if you side thrusts and get drolled, you can thrust for a turn skip trap (dbarrier, different dimension ground, etc) and try again on the follow up
