Is the current meta share of controlling decks up since before? I’ve been trying Loot sword but have been losing to controlling decks that all feel well tech’d against loot sword

Zhiff thanks for making a good video

Regardless of the quality of this meta, I’m biased cause this was when I first did good at a competitive event

I seriously don't get how is Loot Sword a Tier 1 deck with all the healing running around in the game as is Mysteria and Crystallize have healing up their ass and are the most contested decks next to each other.

oh boi time to try out Magachiyo again

Crystallise finally gives amulet Haven a chance to shine first time in months. Looking forward to it, as well as ghosts and chess.

I didn't really think about it much but yeah, I think I preferred the pre-mini version of this meta as well. I was weirdly fond of Radiel Sword despite it not being the sort of deck I usually play and I don't think I want to play it at all in a meta with Lily around. Both meta's are kind of mid still but the rest of the game after this meta was kind of mid in general, the last 4 months were a bit of an uptick again, I think. I'm kind of wondering if they're throwing in some modern throwbacks to help out new players a bit. It'll be more likely for newer players to have cards from more modern meta's compared to the old ones but even still, that's not really going to be enough to keep up.

This is nearly similar with fortune hand where class diversity is very good since even bahamut dragon is annoying deck that possible you gonna meet in ranked I'm actually fond of this one due how much option you can play in here Mysteria rune is definitely my favourite consider it's actually has balanced matchup save for any forest deck (either fairy or magachiyo) Probably gonna play it alongside with loot sword in this throwback

One of those instances where pre-Mini meta was better, specifically post-buff. Late-July/early-August Rivenbrandt was one of the best metas in this game's history.

I haven't played for about 4 years and I'm shocked to still see annoying Roach still playable LOL

I think you missed one, E-whale spam

Baal blood, my first ever GM deck

I haven’t checked in on Shadowverse for a while, but I’m really glad to see you’re still going strong! Watching that video brought back some great memories. It reminded me that it’s already been three years since Storm Over Rivayle, which came out right after Fortune’s Hand, and three years since I started following you! Whether I was playing casually or competitively, your content has always been so helpful for keeping up with what’s going on. We were so close to having a Rotation with Resplendent Phoenix, though :')

Evolve Sword was the first deck I ever played when I started in Rivayle. Nice to see it back with familiar cards.

I remember having a lot of fun with Evo Swodr back then, def one of my favourite decks. Still waiting for Rivayle so I could play Loxis forest.

Lol, since this is just a throwback waiting for SVWB, i gonna play meme deck, gonna have fun with oluon for a month

1:00 That's the wrong Kuon!

best decks for ladder?

Most beautiful card set ever made

i definitely going to make AIS deck and Ra deck . My biggest enymy in this rotation is evo sword and burial shadow 😠

I remember playing every single meta deck in this format except AIS rune since I hated it so much haha. I switched to Thoth Hades shadow after the grand finals and stuck with that since it was so fun. Might have to come back just to relive it.

Ah yes, the unnerfed Zelganea nukes aggro out of existence format. As my favourite decks were Dirt, Wrath and Storm Haven I don't have the best memories of this one.

Ah, I remember this format fondly. I brought SB Rune/Artifact Portal/Control Haven to that SVO and did alright, very fun format overall

Oh this meta has so many memories (arguably the most craziest one) especially shimon performance surprise everyone with wildest choice) And control ra is truly the most funniest ever especially when artifact start to thing due they get powerful support Lucille and Ra is the most hard counter due banish and transform 😂 Ah memories, this is gonna be fun November

Your friendly UL player reminder : as long as Throwback Rotations are last patches, Fortune's Hand is the only meta in Throwback Rotations where Artifact Scan costs 0, as the nerf to Scan was among the first nerfs of the Storm Over Rivayle meta. Have fun ! (Spoiler : i won't but i need the UL GM sleeve~)

I was close(I was not close)

This looks sick

Who here came back from throwback rotation and actually had different expectations and now all I see is handless and spellboost and f&g shadow is now out of the plane of existence lol.

i use flame and glass for an unlimited deck, pulled a cernnunos, by chance in throwback rotation packs this morning and vialed it without thinking... nooooooooooooooo. i' guess i'll just eat the 2k lost vials lol

Is there any good prebuild deck for F&G?

Finally, Drache is back!

I played mostly Ward heaven during this rotation... good ol' try not to die.deck

Keep following the dragon one and never getting that final point to spend to finish the puzzle :/

Was Haven just not viable in this area? Like neither Ward nor Heal? I was looking forward to getting to play Wilbert again

but forest has aria ?

Thanks for keeping doing these. Even when the game is in this lethargic state, you still are the reference for quick useful info

The beginning of nightmare at handless blood 😂

Might be late to say this after SV is in this state of transitioning to WB but please continue making these contents when Worlds Beyond come out next year. I started playing Shadowverse around 1 or 2 years ago and use your videos and Ignideus video as ref. Im a sword main and really like your detail infographic/slides and match recordings/play as It helps me understand how to pilot a certain deck rather than just copy the deck and try to understand it by play test. Sure, this way I will be able to pilot the deck eventually but it is nice to have some kind of game plan explanation for me and a general idea first before goes unga bunga. The other details on how to optimize piloting can be achieve through a lot of games and understanding the opp after that. Even though Im only using sword as my rotation deck. I still watch every single vid for other class as well to understand them better. Guess you are the only one on youtube that make this kind of SV videos content. Other SV content creators just show a requested/meta deck and verbally explain them and show the match. It is extra helpful to have this kind of infographics so that we can prepare for specific scenarion.

People were excited for Festive cards (for some reason) and in the end got another meta with Evo Shadow on top, lol

You can also check this playlist for more in-depth strategy for each deck kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZSui2mtYtOUiqc . Good luck with this throwback iteration

Is there a budget version of that swordcraft deck?

Can you start posting Arena Special Cup guides per month? (ei. Take Two, etc.)? Gamewith doesn't update, and I'm getting frustrated per lose. And I find normal Take Two the hardest cup to win.

Thank you very much 😎👍
