A Look at SAWCQ 2024 Winner "Juan C. La Torre's" Spright Deck Pt. 1 (Deck Breakdown, Melffy vs Toad)

[@xSkwintz]

Starting with 2 losses to eventually take the whole tournament is actually wild

[@Powerrr_YGO]

He really wanted to represent level/rank 2's with his own 2 😂🎉

[@BCmockingb1rd]

Good food for thought, thanks 🙏 Congratulations to the Juan man, what a legend - bringing Glory to the level 2s ❤

my fav part is when u talked abt playing around linkuribo.....

[@TechAreUs]

Hey there man! Really liking your videos recently bro, but I can't afford S:P, so I'm thinking to run the Melffy package instead, but not sure if it's worth it to just run more non-engine like Fenrirs. Also having some annoyance OTK-ing with the deck and finding that really hard to do and don't know whether to drop Smashers for Double Cross or Gamma Burst, or play one gamma, one smashers or something maybe and side in Double Cross?

[@theorangegriffin7531]

@@TechAreUs you can run both! The Melffy stuff and Fenrir are both great! As for S:P, while it is great not only as an I:P link target, it is also really good at removing follow-up or annoying cards in general (Princess, My Friend Purrely, etc). Replacing it is hard, but you can try Knightmares instead. You can usually OTK with Gamma Burst (break their board and then swing for game with 3-4 bodies and Gamma Burst), or you can use Mosquito (2-3 additional bodies, you don't need to clear their board). I'd recommend running both Gamma Burst and Double Cross. Gamma Burst for OTK potential, and Double Cross for Toad/Herald follow-up. Also acts as interruption if you don't want to reccur the Omnis.

@@theorangegriffin7531 Thanks so much man, one of the best responses I've ever gotten from a KZbinr and being one myself, I appreciate you always responding to comments and viewer's questions. But yeah man I'm just torn between playing the Melffy stuff, or just playing Triple Tactics, because a lot of my locals don't play HTs so I'm thinking the Melffy stuff is worth it to make going first even better and was on Smashers, but decided to go for Double Cross instead after watching your new video that you posted an hour ago bro! Yeah just don't know if I should play more breakers, I'm currently at 40 cards with the Melffy stuff, but really wanna play Talents, so let me know what you think bro and decided to play Avram over S:P, since I had a copy and figured it puts up major pressure on board. P.S. what do you think of siding Phantazmay to draw cards as well as stop targetting disruption from popping the normal summon, or level 2 before you can do anything?

[@theorangegriffin7531]

@@TechAreUsAppreciate the comment! I see it as just helping out fellow players more than viewers :') Talents can definitely suck to draw. If a good majority of your locals aren't playing HTs, then definitely consider playing other cards over it. Maybe Droplet, or even just other handtraps? Droll, Crow, Veiler etc. Phantazmay does seem quite interesting, considering it'll come up in most matches. Definitely one that is worthwhile testing! I like the aspect of being able to cycle through cards, and to have more resources going 2nd. Could be onto something!

[@snuggstcg]

I think right now with Snake Kash, SP doesn't do enough to disrupt it. They have too much that punishes you for either banishing their stuff, like Oak, and the snake engine being hard to interact with SP in general. The melffy stuff can stop them going to battle phase and walking over Toad or SP ect. as well as providing an extra potential 2 negates on board for the cost of 2 extra cards in main, one brick, one semi brick. I think this is one of the times where you have to play riskier deck building wise to see results.

[@Oteoreoo]

How do you think on a kash engine, I feel like it’s a anti fiendsmith for next format then using a handtrap on one of our cards then using unicorn eff could come up ripping the link out. Plus unicorn alone is a free link two as well. Final question what’s your opinion on the illusion link 2 for spright. Thanks for all the spright content brother you are truly a big help’

[@ivanZ.4]

Very curious to see if they deck will have any relevance post INFO

[@crossberlix6761]

just gonna be rogue ,any deck that can run Fiendsmith will be toptier because this deck and other deck that have custom extradeck will not be able to take advantage of the engine

[@xSkwintz]

Cyclone main deck is really good moving forward. Almost every deck has some kind of face up spell/trap that is relevant

[@Leo98pm]

this is so cool... but it sucks so hard it's probs gonna be obsolete once info comes out....

[@Veerasin7]

Since I’ve sold my SP recently, I’m assuming the mellfy endboard is the most effective one for me

[@theorangegriffin7531]

Sounds like it! The package is still solid.

[@wolfblood9k522]

I’ve used Dharc a lot against Snake Eye to summon Witch to my side to help push for game and it’s came in handy for that. Other than that, it doesn’t really come up for me

[@theorangegriffin7531]

I agree, I think the slot could be better used for smthng else.

[@denizsyed7699]

I’m Wondering: mellfy + frogs . Is that not too bricky ? Also like the ability to play through handtraps… u will open handtraps and maybe one frog , one melffy etc. is that really enough ?

[@snuggstcg]

if you run almniraj, one mirror mage is full combo, and swap send mirror is also full combo, the melffys can give you the omni outside of the toad line

[@theorangegriffin7531]

Test it out! I think it's fine, you're really only adding 2 cards to your main deck. If you hard draw Catty, you can skip Forest entirely.
