[@Broken_Colossus]

Hell yah, thanks dkayed, gia and editor once again and GG's to all who participated giving us great plays and helping grow the community!

[@NovaCascade]

This is to be expected. Everyone knows about Kashtira from the TCG and OCG formats, MD is a whole different beast when it comes to its ban list and how the card pool affects the meta. Give it one or two weeks for people to start settling in and optimizing FOR Master Duel's meta. Same thing happened with Tearlaments and Purrely. You have a mix of people that are touching the deck for the first time and also people who are just putting in any defensive tools they can to deal with them.

[@ichigo96go]

Thank you and your editor for posting this; it is my TV show for the days it is posted since I cannot catch your stream due to work.

[@setsana_inc]

I'm convinced Kash format is playable from this. I do hope Masterduel catches up to the current TCG game state so I can play DUNE cards though :D

[@alfiexnakama4678]

Field spell at 1 in MD and we didn't even have terraforming. Just a 2.0 CopeTira at this point 😔

[@Mr.Stitch]

It is what it is lol, just gotta play planet pathfinder

[@Degen9111]

What funny about big eye is that you can big eye steal big eye steal another monster

[@alooonie7516]

Admittedly, I really thought that Kashtira was going to be a lot worse that it is. I’m a MD player only so hearing all these horror stories of Kash in TCG was off putting but yeah, it’s not that bad

[@Test-mq8ih]

Thanks to Komoney banning Terraforming and Diablosis, also limiting their field spell I guess lul,

[@allanyang21]

TCG had a nightmare because their banlist is once every 4-5 months. Kash had all their cards and maxx c is ban. They play in a very different format. That’s why you can’t relate lol

[@RayonDai]

3:31 if kash attack with scareclaw is the attack boost of punisher gone, because of the negate just like access code??

[@yellowflash8879]

Do you have any idea when the new super heavy samurai cards are coming ?

[@iCockaine]

I love this game, and you are a inspiration form for me. Thanks

[@astralhusky3615]

Scareclaw is on of my favorite link decks along side Tri-brigade with scareclaw and so forth

[@jamesmyco103]

imagine playing this with the actual paper cards

[@NovaCascade]

Triple Tactics Talent and Thrust as well are going to be the cards to have right now. Arise-Heart is incredibly susceptible to them since its attach effect is a mandatory one. Not to mention, Shangri-Ira also triggers Thrust during the Standby Phase. In the ladder you'll be able to get away with playing standard Kashtira builds but for the tournaments you'll definitely have to start building the deck different.

[@stefaniagerardo7562]

since arise heart came out i started to play in my sword soul deck double fenrir, arise heart and zeus so if they use shangri they'll get fucked by a zeus made without activating effects

[@webe9008]

To think that just one week ago, we had a viable fun and diverse competitive meta… and that shit didn’t last long

[@gerharddamm5933]

Give it a couple weeks. People are excited to play the new deck. But as you can see, pure Kash is not the strongest so you’ll still see a variety of other engines.

[@daedalus5253]

Wasn’t it just Purrely? Tower turbo doesn’t sound very fun.

[@mrharvy100]

No we didn’t when it was literally Purrely and everything else. Ironically things were better after Tear got nerfed hard, but before Purrely arrived.

[@McPyore]

Purrely player detected

[@Zencho639]

You mean purrely and labrynth 90% of the time on hight ranks? Bro are you only playing platinum or below?

[@avokes6919]

Zone locking is definitely useful, played against a full purely board and max c on my turn. Golemed the xyz’s and I just gave them a billion cards and had double shang-ri and ariseheart and locked up all the spell zones, they had like 20 cards in hand lol but couldn’t play a single spell and they scooped it up

[@leizero]

It's funny how my Spellbook Dogmatika deck from way, way back (before Judgement was even semi-limited) is single-handedly carrying me through Diamond against a bunch of Kash users. Turn 1 Jowgen/Winda lock or Turn 2 Evenly/Spellbook turbo to remove their boss mons usually gets me the win.

[@reisen9584]

as always april's gameplay is just insane

[@xMirko777x]

Thank you Dkayed ❤

[@youtubeenjoyer7279]

kashtira brickfest. so much time it bricks i can build a house out of it. seems like blue eyes has a rival now.

[@Papiness]

That first game matchup passive Maxx C yeesh

[@bullet4myex187]

It’s thoroughly possible that people just aren’t good with it yet but I’m playing drytron in master rank. Every time I play a kash player i haven’t had much of an issue due to running outs to arise heart even though if left on the field it breaks my deck. Time will tell for sure but there are definitely ways to be prepared for it and play around it.

[@stfdcrst]

NEW TOP16 VID POG

[@MarLG93]

I don't think Kashtira is overpowered like Tearlaments before each hit to the deck with new banlists, since Kashtira are very susceptible to any handtrap and not a single negate.

[@NoNameOrLife]

the main issue is being unable to deal with arisehart quick enough so that they dont lock all your zones

[@reisen9584]

the issue is not that, it is ariseheart itself. Unlike tear boss monster, ariseheart alone is what makes kash tier 1. And kash has crippled so much unlike when we had tear 0. Prosp and planet at 1 hurt the deck that it wont become tier 0

[@NoNameOrLife]

yep arisehart ban would insta take it off meta and i dont think kash even with all umlimited would come close to t0 the literal only thing the deck can do which is bothersome is arisehart

[@manofsteal5066]

ye baby was waiting for this

[@Borderlines]

Kashtira is not as overwhelming as I expected. I was worried it would be Tearlaments part 2 but with other popular decks like Purrely and going 2nd decks like Mikanko, Kashtira hasn't been extremely dominating

[@hienable6933]

wait until they release Kashtira D/D/D/D Chaos-Reborn-Arise-Heart. You'll be pissing your pants then

[@TroyTheTCGTrustee]

I will say it's nice to see punk being relevant lately as someone who's been on the deck for 10 straight months but sucks going from one of the few playing it to seeing it all the time. Bitter sweet but feels like it's a real contender on a lot of match ups. Especially after winning he first coin flip

[@queenbrightwingthe3890]

Without End Punisher to hard carry the deck its just a deck with no strategy lol. Try and take out End Puisher and see how many games you win.

[@SilverShadow494]

mad for what

[@TroyTheTCGTrustee]

Somebody sounds a little bitter. You could literally say that about an endless amount of decks? Lol and play the deck for a while. So many lines to go into besides punisher and people being so focused on it make it so easy to go into other lines. Why you think the engine is splashed into so many other decks? Guess PEP and jam dragon the only good 8s and 11s huh 🤣 ok bub

So much brick in this top 16 holy shit I'm crying

[@jblocker118]

Really havent seen the issue with kashtira if im being honest, im a turn 2 Kaiju/scareclaw so i may be biased, but i much prefer playing full kashtira than runick spright or labrynth

[@teddi_tqt]

Kashtira is oppressive, and it is worse than Tear cuz it does not let you play the game. Tear at least still allow you to do some play (without the shufflers) The reason you dont see that is because most of the decks here are already top tier Branded or Dragon link. But those are not what we only play. Watch 0:34:00. It is just another Runick.

[@sternritternovad]

It'll be Tier 1 at best you can already see people countering it with Branded and Spright.

[@rontolbert7878]

Branded is still a viable deck you just don’t see it as much anymore because people are bored with it

It's not shadow nerfing, they already nerf it since the start, arguably even worse than Tear when Tearlaments released in MD

[@raystrife234]

I actually kinds find arise heart tolerable in this format tbh. Its the spright gishiki that im having a hard time with. They now have access to some annoying combo that's added to their arsenals of "playing through anything"

[@charlesjefferson4372]

Yeah Arise hasn't been so bad. It helps that it has no built in protection and is susceptible to pretty much all forms of removal

These Visas decks are too troublesome. Must they all cause chaos? Why couldn't they just be as mellow as the Albaz decks?

[@Evol_Tendencies]

kash has been super underwhelming. v peeved that i wasted 300 UR credits

[@Kintaku]

Man as much as I understand hating Branded, watching really good Branded players go through different lines to break a board and set up their own is SO satisfying.

[@metalmariomega]

Going first in the mirror is hilariously bad because of all the dumb stuff you can pull like stealing an opponent's Ariseheart, or making your own if the opponent uses a Shangri-Ira on your turn. You do want to make sure they can't spot banish with their own Ariseheart first so you can just beat over any Fenrir they might have before making a Zeus. I would not be surprised if this kind of silly play is what inspired Konami to create T-Phon.

[@quiet8553]

I never thought duel links staples would become relevant.

[@youtubeenjoyer7279]

with pure kashtira having issues with consistency, punk kash is the way. it can easily summon baron for protection and can more easily go for the kill with pep

[@natashamaddox3117]

It's 100% overrepresentstion. Kash isn't super strong I'm MD

[@FullUhFools]

Kashtira is still too bricky without the field spell at 3. That and 1 Imperm can stop everything without Rise Heart or an extender. It was such a good deck in TCG because of pot of P, and the field spell maxed. You burn your normal using planet pathfinder and that hurts too much. Hybrid looks to be the way. Adventure engine, P.U.N.K etc.

[@user-nc3qc2fk2b]

Theres so many miss play in this video.. Why not just use ur bookmoon to dodge the impermenence?

[@chancerichards9176]

It has a lot of gas, but the boards aren’t that strong 💪🏼. What he banished 1, then had a hand trap and zone locks on top of 1 flood. That’s great, but I can do the same shit with spellbooks? You can do that chaos, tear (even still), ruinick, Punk variations, spright. They do it better, most likely without the flood gate, but hero’s do that flood gate and things similar. There are decks that do better things is all I’m say, it’s the mechanics of Kash that make then strong and recursion, not that they make strong boards it’s the overall grind game.

[@AAA-nl4zw]

TCG is cringe actually...

[@samifaride3245]

You can use the OCG as example since they have Maxx C. And Kash was good so good they had to limit and ban the engine

[@daedalus5253]

Why not? It only got hit slightly in consistency (1 field, 2 fenrir) and unlike tcg, you can’t sidedeck the 1000 outs for it. Diablosis is also gone, but in tcg Ka was still around 50% in top cut with that hit. It still has a broken boss monster and crazy main deck monsters. Tbf, I don’t think it can easily out Noir, but g1st it kills nearly all meta decks (purrely, runick builds, sprite decks, etc). G2nd its strong main monsters like fenrir can easily be a threat via battle phase, it can easily run board breakers or handtraps and d-shifter can be used outside of your turn. Seems pretty powerful.

[@CriticalCamZ]

@@samifaride3245TCG banned it, not OCG

[@dannyeleternity7390]

If you want to use the OCG as an example, they had to hit various different cards within that deck to regulate it, including banning Fenrir (which is at 2 rn in MD) and limiting Unicorn (which is completely free in MD), along with Wraithsoth being hit to 1 which has already happened. not that strong my ass
