[@rollrghostr3517]

I haven’t played Yugioh since it came out, getting back into it and these videos have been incredibly helpful! Thanks!

[@ZomebieKiller]

Cap, I’ve won entire rounds with deck lockdown. I play pure snake eye and I try to set myself up as strong as I can and have a witch in hand to get rid of it on my next turn. It’s a game changer, even if you opponent stops everything you do, it’s strong enough to buy time. You shut down SO much with deck lockdown

[@kotado6414]

Suprise didn’t mention Crossout designator. Since we are in a heavy hand trap meta atm plus it can hit other cards too. Plus is got reprinted super cheap atm

[@MattOsheaYGO]

i knew someone would ask that xD it was actually the last card i was going to talk about but the video ended up being longer than i wanted so i cut it! But it went in main decks mostly

[@kotado6414]

@@MattOsheaYGO noice lmao no worries ! I just got mine today

[@guillermomedel1575]

I'm maining Cosmic Cyclone. Too many runic players or lucky Tempai's that always draw into warlords at my locals

[@MattOsheaYGO]

I have no problem with that! (I was considering maining it in tenpai) But most decks use it in the side

[@asuraphreak]

I prefer using 3 witch's strike for those guys. Lol

[@smokey90710]

I swear to you I agree I ran 1 rivalry in heroes never saw it. Tenpai though that shit is glued to my hands

[@diegogonzalez1920]

A very accurate list for the current meta, a question, what is the name of the last song in the video?

[@tyrikjohnson8541]

I think super poly would most likely be a niche card at the lowest. If you can afford the extra deck space, which is usually about 3-4, the card can really pull you out of a lot of situations by clearing out some monsters at best and even in some cases makes your opponent respect the super poly by setting up a different end board which could be weaker or take the chance of being hit by it. Maybe a little biased since I’m on Yubel this format but super poly has a lot more applications than most think especially in Yubel

[@Tarmaccafe]

Battle fader for tenpai is a niche one that I use for locals

[@4llfy]

In my opinion, I feel like Evenly Matched could be higher. It has won my many games going second because I can out nearly their whole board.

[@MattOsheaYGO]

It could, but until it does more in the meta Im comfortable with my ranking

[@rorschach4502]

I definitely have to second your take on evenly. I cut Nib completely, and have been siding triple evenly, and it's just insane. Snake eye can't really do much against it, kills most rogue, and with all of the stun based decks still floating around it feels soooo good. Everyone is willing to acknowledge when a hand trap is good (even when you have to pair it for it to be good) but nobody ever thinks about how powerful a board breaker is with just one more piece of non engine to pair with it (or hell, even the appropriate engine piece in hand to secure your plays in mp2.

[@sOiCyMaRk115]

I agree with you! Evenly is insane. He has it rated to low. You have to pair HT together which i dont like. Evenly takes care of alot​@rorschach4502

[@JuanGonzalezZzZzZz...]

Evenly was powercrept by S:P. You Evenly and it doens't hit.

[@sOiCyMaRk115]

@@JuanGonzalezZzZzZz... back to my statement. Evenly is insane.

[@Steelbreaker12]

Woo! Let's go!

[@MikeyMoo1216]

Assuming your deck can run them: Rivalry of warlords and Gozen match in current meta? Worth running sacky 1 of’s ?

[@erikmaster3]

I brought a budget version of snake eyes fire king to nats and went 4-3. Fire king based. love the deck. Hope next episode of budget challenge comes soon

[@TeamHypnotik]

Honestly, this list is really solid. I would also place twin twisters in solid side card and crossout in main deck worthy.

[@dartz06]

Grave of the Super Ancient Organism is amazing card, as well Amorphactor Pain, the Imagination Dracoverlord

[@lifeisadream1992]

I'm main decking ghost cherries. Since I have roughly 3 side deck slots for meta targets

[@nero5642]

Wait, what about Skullmeister, did I miss it or wasnt it in the list? But either way I dont think it is that good right now

[@elir6919]

What about called by? I think it’s worth to run in most decks

[@BuddhaMelffyQueen]

I really really love Evenly. Sad but true that SP does hurt its power.

[@Rougelifestyle]

Evenly still put in work for me going 2nd cause you stop alot of recursion banishing facedown

[@apexishere]

Love when I get nibirued with purrely and I end on a better board than I would have if i didn't

[@robertcooper4255]

Sinful spoils is the best kaiju card out right now

[@ufukkuzu6780]

I'm thinking about playing Ghost Ogre and Forbidden Droplet in the main deck, what do you think of that idea? So in my Floowandereeze deck.

[@MattOsheaYGO]

I dont like that because shifter is better than both of these cards and you cant use either under shifter. I'd side them for when you play against a deck that doesnt care about shifter

[@ufukkuzu6780]

@@MattOsheaYGO Of course you're right, I was thinking about my match up against Tenpai Dragons in the first place because it's hard for me to win with Floo in the first game but as you said I'll come into conflict with Shifter. I didn't even think about that.

[@MaliEndz]

Not gonna lie i think you are tripping having raigeki so low when lightning storm is higher up they function almost the same in tenpai but lightning storm has the added bonus of hitting backrow in the case you go blind second into a backrow deck

[@Infinite8blue]

Half the people at my local is main decking Droll if they are not siding

[@nekrozofmakoto120]

I really like book of eclipse rn

[@javierflores6688]

What are your thoughts on ultimate slayer?

[@MattOsheaYGO]

really like the design of the card but very deck dependent. it would be a niche card because most decks dont have the ED space for it to be widely played

[@Fischkudda]

honorable mention to "Powerfilter" - doesent even stop Snake Eyes - it also hurts decks like yubel - went 7-2...

[@pamoon_]

I still love my pankratops Table 500 dinowrestlers ftw

[@derrickharris9079]

Spellbound is awesome idk why people sleep on that card

[@simualjohnson5845]

Beat Yubel 2x at locals with main deck evenly matched/ cosmic cyclone.

[@frogtopia8624]

What do I side if my deck needs a noir out? Kaiju?

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Xyz encore or herald of the abyss

[@SunShine-lo7pm]

Ultimate slayer?

[@codywellsbigdog5908]

Super polymerization is good people that is the mistake he made and Bystial is decent at lowest

[@anthonyholder1119]

I think he said that because he looses to them so he thinks people will go up against that aint using those cards that stop whatever hes plus people who do these ive notice alot of the people put cards in niche because it what stops them performing with a deck there using at the time

[@codywellsbigdog5908]

@@anthonyholder1119 again super polymerization is good not just it's ok I guess and with Melodoius and a few others running around you need super polymerization to help break ur opponents board

[@Kratos0210]

Nah. Spoly is weak rn.

[@ItSpooling_]

@@Kratos0210 Yeap

[@3030DA]

E con is niche but I think it’s pretty good going 2nd to take an Appo

[@MattOsheaYGO]

very good card, might even put it in solid side deck imo

[@ItSpooling_]

Crazy how people are now just finding out about deck lockdown

[@MattOsheaYGO]

I know right?

[@ItSpooling_]

@@MattOsheaYGO I have slots for 5 slots for lockdown and barrier , which one would you do as a 3 off right now?

[@cbgg1585]

I’ve been playing Deck Lockdown alongside Mistake in Melodious 4-5 years ago as Melodious pre meta support did NOT search whatsoever and always had potential to play a lot of non engine. I topped a lot of 22-24 man locals as a result.

[@marcbardou712]

What do you think of crossout?

[@MattOsheaYGO]

Mostly main decks

[@purplekzero]

Ayyy i was like 100!

[@roguetopriest6808]

My boy Skull Meister didn't make the cut :( Sadly pulled the QCR so have to play him regardless now

[@imnotacat5299]

Hold on to it. It's a very format dependent card but it's very useful when it becomes relevant as it's not once per turn. You'll be able to flex or sell it for a decent dollar later on.

[@snaker_574]

I'm planning to use skull meister in the side deck for my dark world at some point, because not only is it a hand trap, but it's a fiend that I can use as discard fodder for the field spell.

[@JuanGonzalezZzZzZz...]

​@@snaker_574I used it in megalith to make r4nk and unformed him for Phul, a thing no other handtrap can do. And it is not bad at all.

[@user-vr5uw6gd6f]

D shifter isn't really a side deck card.... if anything you side it out if it's a bad match up

[@MZX4206969]

Instructions unclear: smashed like button so hard, youtube servers crashed

[@DonCh4oS]

Like 300 what timing

[@drinksdragons8922]

I side spellbound to chain to the IP

[@MattOsheaYGO]

i love spellbound! i wish it was just a bit better though

[@drinksdragons8922]

@@MattOsheaYGO same here. It’s a very strategic card.

[@ThatsSoGiorgio]

Thrust, niche? They finna drag you.

[@MattOsheaYGO]

so be it! Its just not a very commonly played card this format like it was when unchained was running around

[@ThatsSoGiorgio]

@@MattOsheaYGO I’ve seen every single Branded Despia profile running 3. I just got two in the mail. Everyone I duel at locals is running 3 or complaining about how expensive it is to run 3 😭 I guess we’ll find out at my next regional how good or bad main decking 3 Thrusts will be. Maybe it’s niche for Branded since it gets us fusion duplication or branded fusion. So I can see your argument there.

[@MattOsheaYGO]

@@ThatsSoGiorgio that's exactly my point, branded is the only deck that needs to main thrust. Other decks might side it but most of the time they save the side deck space for other cards

[@jjefferyh]

Close enough

[@MattOsheaYGO]

xD

[@indritdibra572]

Dark ruler no more ist the best card in this format..! By faaaar

[@RaresMardare0x0]

Against tenpai? 😂😂😂

[@indritdibra572]

@@RaresMardare0x0 against tenpai not. But against all other decks yes. I won every march against snake eyes when i draw dark ruler and 1 runick spell
