Based mat and sleeves

[@PermaFrostical]

"PSST Dude! Theres kids playing at this locals!" 😂 No hate the mat caught me very off guard

[@amycus22]

That mats actually pretty chill. Don’t think it’d be inappropriate at all.

[@DebeliYuGiOh]

I somewhat agree but it's tame and kids know what breasts are

[@Shutterbugjon]

Great video on the combos!!!

[@Ixsiehn]

Thanks! Hope you found them useful!

[@ariosmorenosanchez3649]

Nice video bro, ty

[@Ixsiehn]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@kiteamakusa]

Been thinking of picking these up just for the off chance i might need it for Centurions

[@Ixsiehn]

Worth getting even if just for fun, the structure deck already has a good solid backbone for a good deck, you would need to get the non-engine cards separately if you don't already have them though (bystial and supay package are optional, although i think if i were to choose, id prioritise supay package over bystial)

[@OhVicanne]

Those mats and sleeves.... jfc

[@pablepablo2321]

Bro is down tremendously bad

[@michaelsulesky7221]

Shouldnt calamity be chain 1 and vision is chain 2 since calamity is a "when"effect, or am i thinking the wrong way around

[@Ixsiehn]

There are 2 ways "When" effects interact in a chain. For Calamity's "when" effect, it is a triggered "when", meaning it is a "when" effect that does not say it is a quick effect; for these kinds, they can activate in any part of the chain on the resolution of the effect that triggers it, as long as the effect is chain link 1, and does not have a "then" effect that does something else. The times where when has to be activated immediately after the conditions are met, are "when" effects that are also quick-effects. Think Epurrely Xyz monsters, Paleozoics and Lady Labrynth. In cases like these, you must activate the effect immediately after the triggering effect in the exact same chain.

[@Farid2511]

any suggestion what to side out or in when going first/scnd ?

[@Ixsiehn]

I usually side D-barrier in and then 3-4 other cards depending on the matchup when going 2nd. D-barrier mainly for Crossout Designator. Generally taking out the bystial package as it is mainly there for Calamity lock (which is bad going 2nd). Example, Going 2nd: Against backrow decks: D-barrier, 2 Cosmic Cyclones, Duster, Scarlet Security; Removing: Droll, 2 Lubellion, Saronir, Branded Etude. Against Purrely: D-barrier, 3 Book of Eclipse, Duster, Scarlet Security; Removing: 2 Lubellion, Saronir, Branded Etude, Resonator Call, Nibiru Against Tearlaments: D-Barrier, Magnamhut, 2 Druiswurm; Removing: Ghost Mourner, 2 Imperms and 1 Ash. etc I would side Beast in going 1st, or if im going against a floodgate deck. Example Going 1st: Against backrow decks: 2 Cosmic Cyclones, Duster, Scarlet Security; Removing: 2 Lubellion, Saronir, Branded Etude. Against Purrely: D-barrier, 3 Book of Eclipse; Removing: 2 Ash Blossoms, Impermanence, Resonator Call Against Tearlaments: D-Barrier, Magnamhut, 2 Druiswurm; Removing: Ghost Mourner, 2 Imperms and 1 Ash. etc Siding really depends on what you expect to go up against, and a lot of it comes from experience and practice. Hope this helps.

[@Farid2511]

Thank you so much for the insight

[@rudi3642]

What I dont understand is, how u can activate Red Zone without controlling a Reddragon Archfiend, to get the banned Super Nova Dragon back. Can u explain that for me?

[@rudi3642]

I thougt that I can use this effect only if I control a Reddragon Archfiend.

[@Ixsiehn]

The effect of red zone that requires a Red Dragon Archfiend on the field is only the one that targets and destroys a card on the field in response to your opponent's activation of a card or effect. The effect to special summon a banished dark dragon synchro monster is a separate effect and does not require red dragon archfiend on the field. (the 2 effects are separated by a fullstop)

[@1AlexGTV]

Do you have ideal targets for prosperity turn 1?

[@Ixsiehn]

Depends on the rest of the hand, but generally this is my priority: 1. If I dont have access to any combo, aim for Crimson gaia, Resonator Call, or Soul Resonator. 2. If I already have access to a combo, I aim for crossout or called by the grave. 3. I try to get a bystial or etude to go for calamity/chaos angel play 4. See if i can aim for crimson resonator + bone archfiend Otherwise, if there is combo: 5. Grab Supay Duskwalker to extend in case enemy stops the combo 6. Get Resonator call, vision resonator or Synkron resonator to extend in case enemy stops the combo (weaker extender) Otherwise, if there is no combo, and none of the above works: 7. Grab a handtrap and hope you can stall long enough to start playing.

[@jimtat2527]

I think he means what you banish for prosperity

[@Ixsiehn]

​@@jimtat2527 Ah, really depends on the hand, but if going 1st: 1 red rising 1 Red Dragon Archfiend 1 Bane 1 Kuibelt 1 Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend 1 of either: Void Ogre Dragon, Chaos Angel, Calamity, or Super Nova If going 2nd: 1 red rising 1 Red Dragon Archfiend 1 Calamity 1 Void Ogre Dragon 1 Chaos Angel 1 of either: Scarlight, Bane, or Supernova depending on what you dont need to break the board.

[@HyperGirl81]

Earthbound Prisoner Stone Keeper is another card that you shoud add in your deck as it is a searcher for a level 3 or lower Fiend Tuner. I also seen recommendations of adding a copy of Snatch Steal but with all the negation I don't know how good it is in this deck.

[@Ixsiehn]

Yea you're right, I should update the decklist with the new MZMI stuff, that earthbound card is a great extender and starter too.

[@PURPLE_G0J0]

*I know the mat doesn’t show nudity but come on man, have some decorum*

[@kvng-boobie7580]

All fun and games with the 2 card combos until RDA blows up every other card on the field because they didnt declare an attack

[@Ixsiehn]

Actually, for all those combos, notice that Soul Resonator is already in the graveyard, which gets banished to protect your monters, also fueling Bystial Dis Pater's interaction.

[@miguelmondragon3958]

Link for the mat and Ishizu? 🤨

[@Ixsiehn]

got the mat off ebay, ishizu metal field center i got from www.manamoon.com/

[@hannahosb5132]

Whats the deck list?

[@Ixsiehn]

You can find the decklist used here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWaldWp5bsuth5Y

[@carlos1998cj]

Link to playmat???

[@Ixsiehn]

Got it off ebay.

[@davidecrocetta1999]

Only problem is that this is a 300€ deck 😢

[@Ixsiehn]

Fair point, Prosperities really do boost the prices up, hopefully the november reprint will make it more affordable. In the meantime I will see if I can cook up a more budget friendly version of the deck.

[@davidecrocetta1999]

Yes that would be great, nevertheless I really appriciated your version of the deck@@Ixsiehn . I'm really tempted to get the bystial engine tho with supays too. but dys pater is very high in price right now.

[@Corey91666]

You can substitute pot with 2x small world and 1x santa claws. It can help bridge into non-tuners or a specific resonator

[@YordansGamingNetwork]

Until you get lava golem,Kaiju,and waboku 😂

[@Daniel-dl7ft]

Literally every deck loses to it, your point?

[@KingVerus]

Lmao, so do literally most decks this format. Except for waboku... I don't know anyone bad enough to run that, lol 😅

[@DavidS-gx1ok]
