ABSURD! - Ritual Beast 2023 DECK TESTING (Terminal World)

[@nico9912]

In the first combo its better to keep the link 2 banished, so you can tag out the new fusion into the link 2 and then tag out the link 2 for two monsters

[@RanserSSF4]

Can we just be shocked at the fact that not only did RB get amazing support to help them out, but the fact that Lithium FINALLY played the deck for real for the first time on youtube despite the deck receiving support in the past and only shown off in the "Top 5 2 card combos" vod? That's a reality I never thought was gonna happen. This is not Lithium and I'm all for it.

[@SproutFarms]

I've been playing RB ever since their release and am still playing them to date: This is actually insane for the deck. Before, you had to dedicate so much space for the engine to be consistent but with those new cards it's getting kinda crazy. Finally space for more staples. I'll probably still keep the old loop of stacking Ambush/Steeds and the Gaiapelio turn 3/4. Also side note: I can see that you haven't played the deck before these videos. Those play lines are very refreshing but super weird. Sacrificing Ulti-Canna is...oof.

[@CV-ct2lw]

HE FINALLY PLAYS RITUAL BEAST ON THE CHANNEL

[@Lithium2300]

True dat 😅😂

[@stonzy87]

This looks so good, can’t wait to play it on MD in 3 years 😢

[@tino1663]

Sadness but we need to wait

[@ismailaksoy6173]

Its coming this june to the tcg

[@Foreversouth0]

Alright so whats changed since 2014: 1) better deck philosophy and minimalistic engines 2) better hand traps 3) support changes your gameplan enough to justify playing it

[@destructionswordspet]

Whats not changed in OCG since 2011: Maxx "C"

[@JesseRogers-vw6kr]

Lancea becomes maindeck staple 2024!

[@Arslanth]

I miss the cannahawk loop so much.

[@thenorthfox2609]

I’ve been waiting for this one! I’ve been playtesting the new stuff and… wow! This is what the deck needed. Curious to see if a little drago gets released

[@10tailedbijuu]

probably not, given the dragon is one of the yang zing.

[@alfredoancheyta932]

Y are the best bro… we love u, thanks for your contribution in ygo community!

[@nfisher5685]

I was always a fan of Harpie dancer and divine wind of mist valley, it’s sacky but the additional normal summon and the special from deck is way more viable now that we get like 4 normal summons in archetype

[@richardhut1742]

a deck that runs shifter and skill drain its going to be a fun time

[@karlpitt8726]

You can actually get 3 trap searchers with 1 Cannahawk, I know you're new to the deck and I appreciate you showing the deck some love though

[@whynotsquat8315]

how? that is curious! please share

[@bryanhickernell7189]

Basically the same line as the first one but he never got the additional normal from new Laura which opens up the elder canna loop

[@Carlet_S]

summoning conditions alone are probably enough of a reason to play at least another of the new fusion

[@Kleckna]

I've been watching Lithium for 5 years and 356 days, ever since the link 2 was announced in Link Vrains pack 1. After all that time it finally happened: Lithium played Ritual Beasts and I couldn't be happier.

[@goldbroadcast7186]

Lithium, I appreciate you very much. Keep doing what you're doing, I peep the consistency

[@goldbroadcast7186]

You need new thumbnail poses though haha

[@NeonMyloXyloto]

wait a minute...lithium learned ritual beasts??? cross banlist cup time for ritual beasts?

[@hotdogflexer9041]

I’ve played both and both are VERY complex but ritual beasts is more complicated. A lot of times in DDD a misplay leads to a meh board not ideal, but you can still recover. A misplay with ritual beasts means you lose.

[@blind0wl123]

i also wanna mess around with the nemesis engine as all the monsters nwork as extenders and recovery.

[@thomasbitmail7937]

The Secret Forces was really one of the best Deck Building packs of all time. I loved all three archetypes. Sadly there is still no new Nekroz support. I wonder how Konami is fitting the new Fusion into the Lore...

[@UBUB101]

Maybe we get a new yang zing

[@Olin112]

The consistency is fixed but ritual beasts in modern yugioh need a better search target for Ulti Cannahawk for them to really be good. The only disruption ulti cannahawk can search is a TRAP CARD from 2015. The new link 4 doesn't banish on your own turn making it basically a vanilla beater. Ulti Cannahawk is powerful but it's power is limited to steeds. Gaiapelio has negation but is too costly to summon properly. They solved the consistency issue but steeds is much too powercrept in 2023. The pros with the new support is that Ritual beasts do generate a lot of advantage from 1 card which is good, and you can potentially convert that advantage into link plays and xys like dweller, and they do have a 0 card new fusion monster as well. But other then that its just a bunch of vanilla beaters. They need better inherent forms of disruption imo.

[@blind0wl123]

Steeds is a non targeting non opt searchable monster board wipe it's fine as is. The new fusion makes gaiapelio as easy to summon as any other fusion so it's fine as is. We should be focusing on adding cards and engines to interrupt and simplify the game state where the deck shines.

[@Olin112]

@@blind0wl123 Its definitely not bad, but I think for a deck to be really top tier meta they have to have better in engine options. Gaiapelio is easier to summon but its still very costly. I do like how the deck though has multiple types of interruption...unlike monster spam decks that just lose to dark ruler no more

[@mitchellmayhaus1430]

This was my deck back In the day, bout time we got good support

[@hugoinconnu371]

My dream finally becoming true : ritual beast on lithium Chanel !!

[@robertbauerle5592]

I heckin love 20 part one card combo decks they’re so kewl

[@strangevol5264]

Then why are you watching. I can tell it’s sarcasm.

[@robertbauerle5592]

@@strangevol5264 to be fair, I didn't finish watching. I watched the first couple combos. That's it.

[@UBUB101]

You sound like a yugi boomer

[@robertbauerle5592]

@@UBUB101 Lol. It's just funny to hear people say that when I know my favorite deck of all time is tear. There's a difference between hating uninteractive and unfun designs and hating all things new in yugioh. Though I do think link 1's were a mistake, link summoning in general is actually an interesting dynamic.

[@AngelofHell1311]

Pure love ❤ this is what I've been waiting for new good ritual beast support 😍

[@ai2802]

Love this new support!!

[@nfisher5685]

Does the archetype lock us into ritual beasts?

[@realtalkwithtelven1477]

What format are you playing on

[@wreckoninggames]

Are you planning on doing the new yugi cards

[@leoornstein3963]

Ulticanahawk loops lets gooi

[@lordyhwach6618]

Also Wynn can search Cannahawk, an additional 1.5 card combo

[@lucatempesta6027]

It's not. Wynn locks you into wind effects only and the new lara is light

[@giorgiozirone3955]

There's a noble Knight that searches rampengu and is a lvl 4 warrior

[@alexandreblossom6461]

Amazing

[@teetin003]

havs you tried the windwitch engine?

[@Lithium2300]

I wouldn’t play that

[@Delicashilous]

I got baited, I thought new meta RITUAL CARDS where released.

[@xynetoram]

share edopro texture please 😁

[@JesseRogers-vw6kr]

I think cannahawk'll go to 1 before the cards even come out. If not... Woah. Favorite deck ever just became meta AF.

[@GenesicShinZyraelKai]

I feel inheritance is the weakest card in the set. It's a great extra search, but getting to cannaloop is super easy now that it's barely a problem.

[@Maestro..]

This would be a great future structure deck for Master Duel 😊

[@whynotsquat8315]

in cannahawk combo, why do we get elder + bond and then use bond to fuse (canna + falco) into link 4, WHEN we could skip getting bond, just get elder, then we LINK PROPERLY falco + 2 rb into Link 4? this way, we can reborn him later!!!!!!!!!! because he was properly summoned

[@PurpleWarlock]

Give it to DrFaker. :P

[@LexxusTheSpark]

First!

[@DjJavierCN]

Zzzzz😅😅

[@pablepablo2321]

I am absolutely snoring plz god dont make this be good 😢

[@bl00by_]

It's faster than most modern combo decks, idk why people still act like it takes too long.

[@blind0wl123]

​@@bl00by_people only think it's turns are long because it was a cheap deck on release and so a lot of people played it during a format when "tribute Valkyrius pass" was the best thing the top meta deck was doing

[@BlackBeartic229]

@@bl00by_ It definitely is not, outside of like... Purrely lmao.

[@Zeromus5555]

Yugioh is such a jerk fest now...

[@coffeedudeable]

No, you can't put your cards back in the grave under shifter. Shifter still good in the deck though as it doesn't hurt your plays much

[@Lithium2300]

Hmm?

[@mudtke]

I'd like to inform u that under shifter any card "send" to the gy is banished instead. However Ulti Cannahawk "returns" them to the gy which bypasses shifter.

[@teoman_aslan]

Thats one of the best shifter decks on god. Under shifter even Rampengu is a 1 Card Combo

[@Farvalseda]

This is just blatantly false

[@mudtke]

@@teoman_aslan Even without shifter he is a 1c combo with new support, it's just that Shifter turns him effectively into a Cannahawk which enables 1 search more for ur endboard.
