What do you think about blue eyes in ocg? Seems to have acceptable board into fuwalos also

Actually the best content by faaaaar. Congrats

Sister decks? Oh, you mean waifu decks

You consistently downplay Ryzeal’s strengths. Just because it doesn’t build massive boards like Snake-Eyes or Yubel doesn’t mean it isn’t an oppressive and dominating force, I see it as comparable to Zoodiac in its prime, which built much smaller boards than the Pendulum decks before it but had a high enough floor and room for techs to be dominant. When you say things like “I think Memento is definitely the best deck” after the most recent OCG ban list and then Ryzeal gets over 10x more tops you lose credibility.

Your videos are great

Shared with friends, absolutely awesome video, well worth the like and comment. I particularly enjoyed your breakdown of the format, and going into specifics

Hard agree on your assessment of Kashtira, while Arise Heart is a mistake that should never have been printed, the deck itself loses to a single book of moon, and specially to high impact cards like Nibiru, a card they never play around. I loved bullying Kashtira players with my Ninja structure deck back when it was considered one of the best decks in MD.

Well said brotha

Yeah I never understood why people throw the term Tier 0 around so casually now. it's funny that in the TCG before our most recent Ban list people often said Snake eyes was Tier 0 with Yubel being a "worse" Snake-eyes deck despite other decks constantly winning events. also if they have to include a 2nd deck as a note to a tier 0 deck that deck isn't a real tier 0. sure in the past it happened but Yubel is not the anti Snake-eyes nor the other way around so they aren't sharing tier 0. people in the TCG just like to be overly annoyed at yugioh right now with some of the more recently popular rising top players being overly vocal on their annoyance with the game while Older players just don't care and are playing since they enjoy the game over other TCGs. and not trying to make money of the prizing for events.

Let me make clear for it. TCG MAIN PROBLEM is the AFFORDABILITY due to RARITY DiSTRIBUTION. It baffle me that tcg peeps doesn’t have UNITED VOICE AGAINTS RARITY BUMP BY WESTERN KONAMI. If you folk want more sustainable yugioh, make the rarity EQUAL TO OCG

I don't think we mad at the OCG per say, im pretty sure we in the TCG see the OCG as the cure! I think the frustration comes from how the TCG handles these top decks. Good cards are a lot harder/expensive to get in the TCG, because of this, it is in konamis best interest to not hit these more expensive cards if they want to keep their current system. Knowing this, once we see a good new deck in the ocg, we know its going to be expensive and the deck is probably here to say. Snek eyes was hit hard by the ocg and the tcg around the same time.. the difference being that the snek eyes went UNTOUCHED until we started limiting cards. They just hit everything around it. Its more of a TCG frustration man. Which is why i dont play this game seriously. The company doesn't really respect its fans here. But yea, OCG is the cure and we all know this xD

coming from a Ryzeal player, it's easier to beat ryzeal than SE or Yubel ffs, hell Duodrive is basically a HT lightning rod. it's a very good rank 4 deck with various rank 4 toolbox and if anything it's the toolbox getting a possible hit if Ryzeal is let go without a slap on the wrist namely Abyss Dweller or the 7th tach search reveals

Ryzeal players disrespecting Yubel/Memento and not run Dweller is kinda crazy to me, Dweller is always a mandatory include in my Ryzeal deck over cards like Bagooska or Dugares. I also experimented with Toybox engine for a combo variant of Ryzeal over floodgates, honestly it's pretty bad into every single hand trap but it's much more fun to play.

About the negativity spread by tcg players: the issue is that you almost never see people online "oh i think the format is fine", you almost exclusively see the negative posts which is an inherent issue with social media. there are a still a bunch of people in the tcg who like it (enough) but they just dont post online or they dont have that much reach. And the recent price discussions, disappointing banlists, worry about fuwa etc. just clouds the general sentiment so its easier for creators to exploit negative posts.

Very refreshing to hear this. Please continue making these kind of videos.

1:50 But that's exactly it. The TCG is dreading the future.

I was wondering how white woods/forest was in the ocg? I dont see any tops so im going to assume it isnt that good?

Hey man loved the video. When u say “ocg players don’t like ugly decks” do you mean the amount of 1 of engine you need to play such as engine requirements? Or something else? Thanks again for the great video.

ryzeal just looked to me like a deck that saw traction cause people werent using boardbreakers as much cause snake eyes and yubel played too well into them also based for liking kash format

Will we get tachyon cards in time for ryzeal?

A lot of complaints as of late in the TCG have more so been about the price, but I agree that TCG players have been quick to judge the format as of late (myself included). I'm only skeptical towards the current TCG meta because we only have early results right now for our format, but from the looks of it, Fuwalos has surprisingly revitalized a lot of previously irrelevant decks. So I am pleasantly surprised about the impact its had on the game, and it does seem to be more well designed than Maxx "C" despite still being incredibly strong (not to mention that we may see less people on D Shifter since it conflicts with being drawn off Fuwalos). I'll probably be picking up Sky Striker again this format if I don't find something else that's more interesting. In the case of Ryzeol: I only keep up with the OCG in order to try and plan out my online purchases. I don't follow the meta itself too closely and i don't know much about it other than that its a pretty consistent rank 4 engine, but I have certainly heard players describe it as tier 0 before like you mentioned. As far as the alternative format i'm working on goes, i've only really limited the Tachyon searchers pre-emptively since i'm trying to shake up the meta for this format (though if we don't get those cards before the Blue-Eyes structure deck comes out, i'll just take it off the list since it won't even be in the legal card pool for the debut version of the format). As for the Kashtira point: while I agree its wasn't technically a tier 0 deck, Ariseheart definitely gatekept a lot of decks from playing in that format, which was why a lot of people were frustrated. You either needed to see your Book of Moon type cards in your opening hand, or you were generally fucked. It just wasn't fun gameplay. Like, for as much shit as DUNE and AGOV got at the time for being "too diverse" and being difficult to sideboard, it certainly was a lot of fun to play because you could play just about any deck. Honestly, i'm hoping that Fuwalos helps to bring the game back to that point again, because its when Yugioh is at its best imo.

Amen on the first part of the vid... As an OCG player who lurks to known TCG discord servers... Im so tired on someone claiming a new "Tier 0" deck just because it has 40% represented which it doesn't makes sense if we only rely on that number

People are dumb and make dumb comments - especially Yu-Gi-Oh players who can't read. Due to clickbait youtube titles, people now think that if there is a most-represented deck, that equals tier zero. Because we've had recent actual tier zero formats, people take the term out of context

Thanks for your insight Sunny its refreshing to have an ocg player discuss the meta game. Rather than uniformed tcg player or top players who've never played ocg format and say they have the insight when they clearly dont.

Hey, TCG player here and Memento enjoyer - Thanks for the Fuwalos explaination, you don't know how ANNOYING people are about Fuwalos despite being one of the best deck against it :)

Is there anywhere that OCG players playtest consistently? We used DB mainly here in the TCG, but I will be moving to the OCG soon, and I can't find a place to practice like that.

we hawe now 5 archtypes that are playing the same with 1starter card and the decks hawe 15 plus handtraps so whats the diferenc absolutly nothing until they start limiting or straight up baning handtraps we hawe the same gameplan or strategie or outcome and it doesnt mather what deck you play

Memento on the chart baybeee

I'm sorry that you, an OCG player, have to keep making videos on how stupid the TCG playerbase is. They look for any excuse to complain. To them, if the format isn't DUNE and/or AGOV format, it's tier 0. It's unfortunate.

I just want to reiterate alittle bit, tier 0 is 65% on big tournament, so basically on TCG is like YSC etc2. The last time we had tier 0 in OCG is during ishizu tearlament (first time reach 65% is in vietnam national iirc) and i dont remember snake-eyes reaching 65% in ocg but i might be wrong. Also personal opinion, i hate ryzeal.

the people screaming "TIER 0!!!!" are really just a loud minority that has no idea what theyre talking about. even players in the west like me (note im not a tcg player, i only play MD) are getting frustrated due to OCG players picking up what these loud minorities are shouting, and them then generalizing as if the entire west thinks that way (we dont) and making fun of players in the west. pretty much everyone i know that looks at the current OCG breakdown thinks their format is fine after the list.

5:10 the closest term is probably simp

Issue is ocg overhitting stuff too fast. Ryzeal was already doing well and close to best deck before killing snake and yubel. OCG made a list for product cycle rather than diversifying the format. When ryzeal hits tcg, we won't have this split. We will have ryzeal going toe to toe with azamina while yubel and tenpai compete with other lesser decks like maliss, fire king,etc. Creating a more diverse format where 40% of the pue isn't a loner deck. And agree with the rest of the video.

I think since you're one of the only good english speaking OCG players, people took your words as facts.

I am a TCG player and am looking forward to the crossover breaker format

Imma call the sister players the gooners ☠️ 5:06

love your content, keep it up with your good work!

MY GOAT

I dont play ocg but I like listening to your insight on the format. I also play fighting games and we have a term for people who only play female, it's called "Waifu Players"

commenting for algo as always sunny goat

Maliss and ryzeal feel like the tribrigade/drytron format which I'm comparatively looking forward to, if I weren't just entirely disillusioned with the game right now. I feel a lot of yapping online is from players just unwilling to step away from the game on the west so just using every outlet to complain about the game, regardless of how informed they are. TCG players have every reason to be negative and if you show them a pie chart with a distribution that doesn't look like a pizza they will use that to justify more negativity regardless of context. Anyways I'm playing digimon until konami tcg ban oss/flamberge, reprint fuwalos and revise time rules for lacrima to come back (I play light fiend decks)

This was such an informative video and exactly the type of commentary I was looking for! Subbed and will tune in regularly :)

Do you have any social media by chance? I find your videos very resourceful considering I’m a tcg player “primarily play MD, but i watch enough coverage for our format”

Did red eyes dark dragoon can return in ygo master duel

Hey, love your videos. Just wanted to hop in and say, people aren't really upset about rayzeal, more about the fact that if it is indeed a tier 1/0 format, rayzeal will for sure cost an arm and a leg to play here. I for one wasn't planning to play any of the new decks myself, however I'm excited to play vs them (more than playing vs yubel for sure.)

I think the negativity from the west stems from the inevitability of the format coming to us. Because we are getting those cards in a few months, a lot of westerners see it as a "whats coming" so a lot of the negativity is foreshadowing of what's going to happen to them. I don't think they're mad for the OCG or OCG players, they're upset that they see what's coming, how """""oppressive"""" it is, and throw a tantrum because its an inevitability to prepare for. Usually whats good in the OCG translates pretty similarly to the TCG. The one time in recent memory where thing's didn't translate 1 to 1 from the OCG to TCG was last year when the Unchained support was released. People loved that format a lot and I think a big part of it success was it being a surprise to a lot of people and created a fresh environment that players didn't expect. Yugioh in the west is often full of doom and gloom because of what reports we see in the OCG so if you see people being negative its usually because they're already being defensive of what's coming to them in a few months.

If posting to youtube about card game content has taught me anything it's this, people will find your video, not watch it, and instead complain about a game they do not play with opinions that are blatantly wrong. That being said, thank you Sunny for more ammunition. I will be using your video to continue complaining about the format that I do not play.

TCG players shouldn't be throwing stones. They're taking the negativity for things they can't change in the TCG and using the OCG as a scapegoat to pile on without drawing attention to their own house burning down. I can guarantee people are mad about the DBP decks being decent and prevalent because they know they're going to be extremely expensive in the TCG.
