That's why I explain during the combos that you should play the Fiendsmith and Kashtira engine for that exact reason. If they hand trap your normal summon, then any Dragonmaid + any Kashtira is Fiendsmith combo. If you open Fiendsmith you bait their handtraps first with Fiend plays before normal summoning. I do agree that Dragonmaid is better as an engine. Thats why I say at the end of the video its like you're playing Kashtira Fiendsmith with Dragonmaid as your normal summon engine

@earthteamjordan to be honest, i did not watch Till the End 😅🙈

decklist? or explain. im interested in trying this. i have a atlantean mermail deck and ryzeal.

If I had to choose one personally I'd choose Sky Strikers right now, because it covers your going second weakness more than Horus. Also I've been clapped by Sky Striker Orcust online recently. It really surprised me

Thanks for the feedback bro! I named this channel after one of my favorite anime characters. The anime clips are a stylistic choice meant to reference the channels anime-inspired roots. I told myself I wouldn't be just one of those combo channels that shows you a 2 minute combo in silence and that's it. I want the entire video to be entertaining, and I don't think many people wanna sit and watch just straight combos for 30 min. However I do understand that its not everyone's cup of tea, and I do appreciate feedback like this.

@@earthteamjordan fair enough makes sense did not mean to offend. Just felt a bit random when there is nothing referencing the clips and then there is just anime on the screen while listening to yugioh but even if its not for me ur still one of the only combo channels i actually look forward to so you do you homie

@@timgrass9774 No offense taken bro! I'll actually keep that in mind and try to keep them more relevant. I appreciate you fr

@@earthteamjordan also might be another me problem but is there a written deck list somewhere for the videos that im too blind to find? there were some videos where i couldnt make out one or two cards.Maybe you could just hover over each card for like 1 sec in the final thoughts section so people can pause and copy without much more effort for you

@@timgrass9774 I usually try to post the Deck list in the comments. Recently I've been putting it in my pinned comment like in this video

I'm posting some replays right now in the Discord where I play thru Nibiru. Link in the description if you or anyone want to join! I mentioned it in another comment, but basically Nibiru is not the best handtrap against this deck, because it triggers all of your Mitsurugi monsters, and you can use the Nibiru token to make Echidna and keep playing

Entirely disagree

@@michaelhomes8049 ok

I'm sayinnn 😂😂 I was mind blown when I saw it. Almost $100 for a set when I recorded this. The glow up is real

We have an advantage against Ryzeal because we can main-deck board breakers. If you Dark Ruler a normal Ryzeal board, you'll really only need to worry about their field spell negating your starter. Maliss on the other hand is a problem for this deck. Maliss can banish your field and GY which hurts a lot. If you go 1st you can stop them from playing with all your negates, but going second or playing thru shifter is very tough. You'll need to side-deck Lancea or something similar

Ogdoabyss is basically Aaron, but requires 3 tributes instead of 2. There's probably a way to make that work consistently

@earthteamjordan plus with everything getting resurrected all the time it's board wipe wouldn't even hurt you that much

@@TheSpiralCurse It's definitely spicy. You'd just have to make sure you special Futso from GY before you board wipe, or else you'll wipe your own Futso and won't be able to quick effect revive monsters from GY

Its actually not that bad because Nibiru triggers all your Mitsurugi monsters. You will usually be able to summon at least 1 more Reptile after Nibiru, so you can use the Reptile + Nibiru Token to link summon Echidna, Echidna can then reduce Nibiru's ATK to 0 and search you any Reptile you need to keep playing. This is assuming Nibiru didn't tribute your Ritual Monsters which float and search. Nibiru is average against this deck tbh.

To Nib the Mitsurugi portion u will need another handtrap to stop Futsu to comeback after Nib and have to discard another card for the omni. IF u dont have way to deal with Futsu onboard, this guy can just revive the entire arsenal one by one when u play.

Maybe if I used an AI voice then I'd be able to pump out 10 videos a week

@@earthteamjordan If that's actually you, then just talk normal my guy.

@@jaredricci9278 If I had to take a deck to a tournament right now, it's between Maliss, Kashtira Fiendsmith, or Labyrinth stun. It's really hard to tell if any of the new stuff can stop Ryzeal. My money would be on Blue Eyes primite if had to choose a new deck

maybe goblin bikers for ryzeal?

@@alex62965 Thats a good idea, but Goblin Bikers don't really have much of an advantage against anything else sadly. The best new anti-meta deck will probably be one that can play going 2nd against a full Ryzeal and a full Maliss board.

Thanks bro! I honestly never felt like I needed more handtraps while playing. Going second you have a lot of ways to break boards like Murokumo board wipe, Zealantis OTK, and even Haggard and Echidna put in a lot of work too going second. Its nice to open 1 Imperm or Ash but I usually want all my cards to be gas. Also your quick play spells help you dodge targeting effects and handtraps, which means you can play through disruption, so you're not worried as much about stopping them from setting up. I do side deck more handtraps game 2 or 3 however. Fiendsmith only Conflicts with Nephlabyss and the Raika stuff so you can play it, but Im personally not a fan. Primite sounds super cool I hadn't thought of that one. It gets you a level 4 + disruption + hand trap bait so you can resolve your Snake Rains and Mitsurugi Rituals. I'd have to test it first, but I think it could work if you build your deck around it a bit.

This was the most fun I've had making a video in a while. Are there any cards or techs you think I should have played? *DECKLIST* Main Deck: Nephilabyss, the Ogdoadic Overlord x1 Aron, the Ogdoadic King x1 Keurse, the Ogdoadic Light x1 Mitsurugi no Mikoto, Kusanagi x1 Zohah, the Ogdoadic Boundless x1 Reptilianne Coatl x1 Mitsurugi no Mikoto, Saji x3 Night Sword Serpent x1 Ragnaraika Armored Lizard x1 Nauya, the Ogdoadic Remnant x3 Nunu, the Ogdoadic Remnant x3 Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring x3 Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi x1 Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi x1 Snake Rain x3 Ogdoadic Water Lily x2 Mitsurugi Ritual x3 Called by the Grave x1 Ogdoadic Daybreak x1 Mitsurugi Prayers x3 Infinite Impermanence x3 Planet Pollutant Virus x1 Mitsurugi Great Purification x1 Extra Deck: Reptilianne Melusine x1 King of the Feral Imps x3 Ragnaraika Chain Coils x1 Worldsea Dragon Zealantis x1 Benghalancer the Resurgent x1 Cosmic Slicer Zer'oll x1 Ragnaraika Selene Snapper x1 Alien Shocktrooper M-Frame x1 Ragnaraika Skeletal Soldier x2 Haggard Lizardose x2 Reptilianne Echidna x1 Side Deck: Nibiru, the Primal Being x2 Artifact Lancea x1 Mulcharmy Fuwalos x3 Harpie's Feather Duster x1 Triple Tactics Thrust x3 Dark Ruler No More x1 Crossout Designator x2 Evenly Matched x1 Dimensional Barrier x1

I am honest this deck does look a LOT of fun but just by looking at the plays, I wonder how many frigging “one of cards” you mashed together here? There seem to be so many one of bricks that make you sad if you draw them.

@@lifequality There's a lot of ways to get your one-ofs in GY in case you draw them. Mitsurugi Ritual, Mitsurugi Prayers, Snake Rain, Ogdoadic Zohah, and Alien Shocktrooper can all get your one-ofs in GY.

That's definitely some good synergy, but I feel like you're just playing a worse version of Dragon Rulers at that point

Thanks bro! Traptrix and plants in general are one of my favorite types, so I really wish they were doing better right now. If you've been playing plants for a long time then you can definitely win matches with plants. The problem is they have no advantage against anything in the meta right now. Most people who want to play a Link deck will choose Maliss.

@@DDgaming2478 I know how it looks but the deck runs smooth like butter

Thats wild tbh

I think all the board breakers in the Main Deck give it a good advantage against Ryzeal. I think its gonna be one of the best Combo decks besides Maliss. Maybe Tier 2 or high Rogue Tier
