BT17 Meta Report - Week 7: The Dust Settles

In a recent stream clip, East covers the events for the seventh week of events for the BT17 Secret Crisis box set in Japan and Asia. He talks about the recent trend of aggro decks and how they are evolving and changing the landscape, and where decks are starting to settle within the set as a whole, now that its been out for quite some time.

[@BBDudes]

I love diaboromon, I'm just in BT17 waiting mode for him to arrive now that my poverty has gatekept from me magna

[@mightytoothpick]

You can have some fun in ex6 tbh DiaBRO is coming back already

[@sagezemage8834]

I’m so glad its been getting more love!

[@thevoidbeckons]

I didn't let poverty stop me, I have credit cards!

[@DrCoeloCephalo]

I was building Numemon BEFORE it was top tier because I loved ShinMonzaemon and I was building Sukamon, Etemon and Valkyrimon before I knew about this tech. I'm lucky I unintentionally had all of this stuff for the deck including a generous friend giving me all the Ukkomon pieces from his box.

[@MagnaTimon]

The marcus from the agu rush deck gets played by ancient from the on deletion effect unless they hard set up by just hard dropping it.

[@jasonandrews1770]

They need to address the constant "attacks cant be redirected" effects in blue. Its becoming bt7 like with the 2 ignore all your cards and otk you decks

[@East_ML]

I think when you have very powerful blockers like MagnaX in the game, Koji’s ability to not be blocked seems pretty balanced and reasonable.

[@jasonandrews1770]

@@East_ML see id be fine with that if there was a cost and they werent in otk decks like mirage

[@idonotmakevidsyet]

​@@jasonandrews1770 the cost is that mirage has to find its pieces to do so. If they dont find their right pieces then their stack is just mid.

[@jasonandrews1770]

@@idonotmakevidsyet "the cost is they need to find the card" thats not a cost. Thats just called playing the game

[@DarkeLourd]

The Gabumon rush deck is the Gabubond Blue Hybrid deck from BT6 all over again.

[@AxtionBastrd]

The Clock requiring 4 on board for the Alt win is the most painful thing about it for deck building.

[@lovesickherox]

that agubond list on twitter has been updated on may 25th with an analog youth and 2 digimon emperors and other small stuff lol

[@HewLeta]

Do you have a link to it?

[@gravesbeard8078]

Have you seen Zephagamon winning with a Leopardmon engine? Kinda wild

[@ahmadarif3012]

that gabumon rush deck loop is pure bs n i would love to playing it but not against 🤣

[@DavidIn]

Hoping bt18 brings back Red Hybrid

[@joseantoniogomezrodriguez1724]

Is this a reupload? I think i saw this before

[@East_ML]

This has been edited down from a stream VOD. Just a way to get the info if folks don’t want to watch the full stream.

[@joseantoniogomezrodriguez1724]

@@East_ML oh, that's were i saw it. Thanks

[@vagos093]

so 2-3 grey tops were agu rush decks?

[@gabrielazolini6069]

The rush decks look fun and interesting, but both seem to play hard into DeathX and Ruin Mode. Even Crimson Flame.

[@East_ML]

Yeah there are some definite counter plays. Things like Ruin mode or Digimon emperor are VERY problematic for them!

[@falko2473]

Can you share the list for the Sakuyamon deck? I always see the single top in your BT17 reports but I can't find it on Digimon Meta.

[@muffinman7000]

The topping Sakuya list never posts their list unfortunately

[@falko2473]

@@muffinman7000 Thats sad. Thanks for the info.

[@Rosario0X]

there should be 1 more week of BT17 Meta Report that you missed to cover right? I also look forward to the Meta Recap of BT17

[@East_ML]

Nope, I took a break last week, but I’ve captured the results for that week for the entire set recap video. That video will go up later this week!

[@austincantu15]

Just curious, where do you find the deck lists you share

[@smolbrain6713]

he finds them mostly on twitter

[@East_ML]

Check my discord faq channel. Answers with links there! You can find a link to my discord in the video description!

[@FreakinSpooky]

Deck list for ancientgaruru if you would be so kind 🙏

[@East_ML]

Check previous week’s videos!

[@VierteMann]

No Loogamon? 😢 I really like that good boy

[@AdaptiveReasoning]

He's there

[@VierteMann]

@@AdaptiveReasoning I was looking for the Fenrinrloogamon art, didn´t register the new art, I though it was a weird new deck

[@_lesnak]

Is Japan still Bo1?

[@East_ML]

Yep!

[@donarcangel1997]

to think magna X is in the peek of its hype, and in japan they are just like, meh, boring

[@nomnom2407]

Magna my beloved fell off ain't no way

[@East_ML]

Definitely not. He still strong for sure 👍

[@hugemclargetall]

Been exclusively playing Tyrant in the BT-16 format for the last week or so. High win rate for now. 🪲

Unless your opponent uses a Bug Spray...
