Yu-Gi-Oh! 2nd Place Salamangreat Deck Profile! ft. Dario Guzman! (700+ Pasadena Regional)

[@GizmekGalaxy]

That's a pretty big attendance for a Regional... Damn.

[@jared-DAD4GAME]

Not really. The Los Angeles regionals used to regularly get 1000+ people before they had to stop any more people from registering. I'm surprised this has only 700 people.

[@GizmekGalaxy]

@@jared-DAD4GAME Fair, but not every country has those numbers. And the TCG isn't just the US.

[@lcjones0710]

700 is actually low for a California regional. Its usually 900+

[@jared-DAD4GAME]

@@GizmekGalaxy Pasadena is near Los Angeles, hence why I compared the two. Southern California regionals tend to have close to 1000 people or more. Of course, most other places have 500 people or less.

[@blackwingboy-yu-gi-oh9811]

In Germany Regionals are like 100-200

[@austinlyles4187]

I personally prefer flame bufferlo over debug, but I'm a bit surprised he made it that far without bricking with all those hand traps.

[@thesaucypickle9866]

Tell that to the 18 handtrap gouki at ppg lol

[@techtv1205]

That is why debug is better than bufferlo if you are going to run several hand traps. Debug allows you to draw four hand traps and still have plays

[@bladimircernaguzman6165]

Play Ghost ogre for only hit lady debug?

[@___i3ambi126]

Debug is 1 card combo. (Summon debug, add gaz, make bale, add field, relink bale, special gaz, send jag, make wolf, ss jag, add back gaz, relink wolf with jag). This means that drawing 4 handtraps+debug or mining isnt a brick. When if you play bufferlo instead, that same hand is basically a brick.

[@___i3ambi126]

@Vegeta King unless you play 1 copy of meer.

[@beiwubsnsod7378]

Glad salads are still alive after the masacre. Now just have to wait for the cynet reprints next month

[@kimyona9746]

I hope mining becomes a 5 dollar card or less. Doubt it but even becoming 8 bucks would be fine for budget salad. And phantazmay will prolly become a 2 buck card after mr5

[@miguelarenazas2108]

Does anyone know what’s the cards name at 5:54 ?

[@briangentry3714]

Droll and Lock Bird

[@___i3ambi126]

You can out raidrapter by colinking transcode with borrelload and crashing the 3500 borrelload into it. Its not the easiest thing to set up, but if the opponent is out of cards other than raidrapter (probably because you triggered waking the dragon while popping the last of the cards to their name) then its very doable. So id definitely play borrelload as the link 4 slot

[@___i3ambi126]

@Sina Karimi yeah, but then you need to play borrelsword in salad... Meh

[@DracoX0Miedo]

wait what ?!? they arent dead even with gazelle limited and stallio banned

Salads are still tier 1, ban list does slow the deck down, but we have way too many cards that really supports this deck

@@Crimsondigitallife by what? It can still be dropped and you can still copy lvls and steal oponents monster, gorz for sure can still be dropped too

[@Dylligraphy]

Xyz and Link Monsters don't have a Level. There are much better hand traps now since disrupting opponents' effects with cards like Ash and Veiler are much better than disrupting their Battle Phase once they've already assembled the field they want.

[@sirernest546]

mind sharing your build/some combos/techs? I hate how fragile the deck feels without Harp Horror and I'm desperately looking for a way to make thee deck strong again

[@kimyona9746]

@@sirernest546 this variant relys alot on getting your hand in the graveyard while still having cards in hand so dangers card destruction etc. Are must haves. Plant orcust uses an engine of evil thorn rose lover carrotweight champion bulb and spore with the jasmine link. You do this combo that lets you get cards in your hand to the graveyard. Sometimes you hard normal summon evil thorn to tribute off for materials for jasmine link and danger off. The deck has slightly more recoverability in this variant. Also it runs tech cards like instant fusion with winda and phantom knights rank up with True king of all calamities to rank up dingirsu when he is out of materials. Launch and instant fusion can be swapped either in the main or side. Depends on how big your orcust engine is. Allure of Darkness instead of return cuz it's an omni draw card cuz your not guaranteed orcust cards in your starting hand. The jasmine link lets you tribute a danger or something to special bulb or spore from deck which let you revive themselves. Once we get needlefiber bulb will prolly be banned so train to use spore. And 3 orcust knightmares are always a good option with machine dupe. You run 2 skelly because three is a brick. 1 wand cuz 2 is a brick. 1 grepher and 1 armaggeddon knight to be able to set up if necessary and if you have discard fodder such as nightmare you can send carrot to grave instead which lets you dump your rose lover for a special from grave. This deck's endboard always has dingirsu and one or two other things so side or main decking TCBOO is fine because you never have multiple types in your endboard with this variant. Run twinny in side. Lightning storm is a brick in the side. The deck can make dante which sets up your graveyard cuz of jack tsuchi and skelly and ogopogo can let you have a draw engine with response team or 2nd expedition into danger as well. That's my analysis. Your extra deck isnt really that big so you can run a lot of techs. Once needlefiber comes out i will edit the deck to incorporate him if he doesnt get banned. The extra deck is 2 galatea 2 ding 1 jasmine 1 avramax 1 borrelsword 1 apollousa 1 true king of all calamities 1 winda and you can run whatever techs you want in the extra such as big link monsters masquerena with sumthing and all kinds of other stuff. With the needlefiber variant if we keep bulb we can end on 3 neg apo with ding in grave and skelly in grave with babel on board and masquerena. That's what the deck can do. Im still testing to see what else but the deck makes a fair end board if you don't brick so machine dupe might be cut out for other stuff. Also as long as your opponent doesnt hit a danger or backrow that isnt babel or your danger garnet you have a 100% chance to unbrick your hand so that's nice. It's resilient to 1 ash as long as your evil thorn was special summoned and if he is normal summoned it doesn't matter cuz consistently you can at least set up dingirsu with 1 material to last a turn until you unbrick your hand.

[@kimyona9746]

The deck only bricks if you get your 3 garnets in your hand. You have 2 pseudo garnets that are honestly fine in your hand too. Your three garnets are orcustrated core, your ogopogo target, and if you have 2 or more evil thorns in your hand. 1 evil thorn is fine but 2 BRICKSSSSSS and you can only run 3 cuz at 1 or 2 there is no point.

[@kimyona9746]

Your pseudo garnets are bulb and spore

@@shimshimity5667 That trend is because basically all profiles come from what topped events. Most of the time meta decks win events, and every once in a whilea rogue deck will top something.
