As someone who has been saying for a month race is clearly the best deck with an insane endboard, insane grind, and insane board breaking power, while also going oh yeah unchain is going to fall off hard, it plays a million bricks, how anyone got surprised by this event is a wonder
Funny how people are suprised by the overwhelming representation of R-Ace. It did well in the OCG (Herp Derp OCG is not the TCG) Yes I know but it consistently performed and shifted the numbers when most OCG players were running Tear into the ground. Plus R-Ace was ALREADY topping before AGOV, so it's not a surprise to me the deck performed. We had months of Batman prep time. And the engines just mesh together so well. Plus R-Ace got zero hits on the banlist and came in at Full Power unlike something like SHS.

Because if you play competitively at higher teir events. When a format goes to wide with diversity. It makes it a lot harder to win through deck building and skill, and puts more luck into the fray
I thought it was very surprising how horus and tearlaments flopped. also how unchained went from being arguably the best deck to a pretty fair meta deck. and no banlist was needed. once again konami let the power creep do its work and they made the right call. same with purrely and branded (with and without chimera). those decks all seem in a fine place atm and imo don't need to be hit. one deck that I'm anxious to see is centurion. expectations are high but I can't say if they're going straight to the top or not
Tear didnt even flop. It performed extremely well last ycs, people prepared accordingly and it showed with both tear and unchained not converting the best. It doesn’t help that people wanted to try out rescue ace with the support following how the ocg did it. Everything makes sense from breakdown
@@frankunodostres473 failed? They still topped the ycs as expected and made it all the way to top 8 before losing to a judge call. People prepared for it and in return the numbers were much lower than it was previously.
Format is so bad. Hard to deck build for one. For two the format is so weak shitty rouge decks can compete. So now you play against shitty rouge decks that you have no idea where to hit or how it works 😭
squiddy! Amazing content as always, thanks for good breakdown. What your thoughts on chimera runick? I feel its positioned good, with being able to break boards with engine only and I feel Rescue Ace matchup is easy enough. Thanks!
I mean have a look at the early feature match of the Bystial vs chimera branded and you will see that the tear players may have been just shit … and top cut tear lost to slow play
relying on obscurity long term is a terrible game-plan. besides it already made history, yah know that the twitch clip of it winning became popular on things as distant as r/lsf and other non yugioh places.
@@AbsurdAsparagus It just makes it less fun and you will always have people like "Oh that deck" or "Oh, you are playing the deck from that YCS player", like no, we played this deck for a long time and the surprise factor just makes it so much more fun.

Imagine complaining about deck diversity, some people just love to complain.
It just means winning or losing is more down to chance. Not possible to build your deck or side purposefully to account for what you may encounter
What are you talking about? It makes deck building overwhelming and a pain in the ass. Of course just watching diverse tournaments is always nice.

Jesse Kotton using his platform to hype up decks is disgusting...
@@MaliEndz at ycs indy they failed, that's hard to argue. Look at the numbers. Of course the format is far from finished but atm it's not a top deck

@@MaliEndz fair enough. However "they only lost because people prepared" is not an argument lol. Like that's always supposed to happen to a T1 deck^^
Rescue Ace really surprises me tbh. It doesn’t do anything crazy. It’s just the most consistent deck.
Set 4 from deck isnt crazy??? How many other cards can do that?
@@melvinbrookins6313 only 2 of the cards are actually interruptions, so no.
@@melvinbrookins6313the 4 cards it sets are mid. Its just sheer card advantage and follow up they have if you dont kill them
@@AngryAyrab its follow up and interruption in one easy shot, theres no way thats considered mid
Are people pretending they dont also put up a lot of bodies to link/synchro on top of set 4?

The Exodia FTK deck having been made public like that is a bit annoying for enjoyers of it, since now everyone knows the deck.

Really surprised with R-Ace, doesn't seem that good, it's just extremely consistent or I'm missing something?
Set 4 on top of free bodies is good and diabellstar raised both floor and ceiling of the deck significantly
It's super hard to pick a deck in current format because of how varied the decks you come across are.
Wahhhh wahhhh complain harder
Found the PAKtcg alternate account
Exodia was hype
People hate diversity in format’s because “oh no I can’t side properly in diverse formats”
S:P put in work. She was in every feature 😮coincidence ? Or Konami conspiracy? 👀💀
People were saying this card is going down. The copium is crazy 😂
Bruh,Exodiahhhhhhhhhhh. What other result do we need. Who cares about fire machines.
