Could The New Lightsworn Deck Actually Be GOOD?!

[@alphadragon7679]

Weiss is Snoww. The lightsworn lore and the dark world lore are intertwined. You can see a bunch of dark world cards that have Ryko in them for example.

[@r3zaful]

Dark world : senior neighbor who just wants to chill but their neighbors dog annoy them very often Snoww : the neighbors nurse is feed up with the dog now decided to work in in the lightsworm hausehold "I need to keep this annoying dog from entering the lords castle, let's work for the lightsworm so I can train this dog"

[@r3zaful]

It's as simple as that.

[@thewave-qz9lt]

she also has the reversed stats of snoww

[@elvergalargo1469]

love the fact that you're actively pumping out the content, refreshing takes for a community that desperately needed it. cheers.

[@Ben2k109]

Gotta shill for Konami as if this format is fun or good

[@masterduelzero1795]

​@Ben2k109 that is the most baffling take I have seen. He's finding ways to enjoy a game, even during a format that is relatively stale.

[@markburns2621]

Because nobody could count before with the basic sworn combo?

[@undeadinside3571]

You could also just run malicious and use him with any of the level 4 tuners

[@TheMatt_SD]

Ryko gets lost in the Dark World. At first,he thinks Dark World monsters are bad, but they aren't. They help him get back home, and they bring some of their power to the Lightsworn to help them fight. Thats where the Twilightsworn come from. Weiss is Snoww that joined the Lightsworn.

[@kotzenderkeks61]

awesome

[@kuyagoldlink7563]

Cool story bro! 🎉

[@TheMatt_SD]

@@kuyagoldlink7563 thanks

[@REDDAWNproject]

no, the point is that the DW ARE bad, twilightsworn are the lightsworns corrupted by the Dark World. Snoww feels bad about corrupting them, so she turns against the dark world and saves the Lightsworns.

[@TheMatt_SD]

@@REDDAWNproject Master Guide 2 says that they look bad, but they are actually friendly

[@EMICIME]

Jesse : Make a Barronne Konami: And I took that personally

[@modcan15]

in the version with Tear, I would put in extra Visas Amritara, to be able to add Perlereino, and eventually use it to make zombie vampire

[@jordaneworley]

Agree

[@xardas149]

I mean regardless if it really breaks into the meta, I think those cards are clearly good enough to have fun at locas/smaller tournement settings and I believe ALOT of people will appreciate turning some old favourites back into action.

[@MonstreHunter]

I am an Runick Player since ages. I am a Lightsworn Lover since ever . How could i not think about the Abomination you just showed us

[@benjaminquaresma4889]

And Baronne banned

[@CasualYugiStuff]

We need a Lightsworn Eagle or Falcon card that not target bounces to hand…

[@StardustTCG]

Love to see some actual duels with both the decks. Only downside with this deck is Droll locks it out of adding. Nibiru can wipe out field easily unless you have Barronne out.

[@ianYGO]

Both Runicks and Tear doesn't really care about Nibiru, they can play on both turns

[@bbabins45]

This is the kind of content I always hoped to get from a Jesse Channel. The hype from an upcoming set/archetype that he can see

[@oliverfrench5262]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet or not but another card that could be considered is Bujintei Kagutsuchi. Can be made using 2 Level 4 Beast-Warriors (Felis and Wulf). It mills 5 on summon rather than being an activated effect and mills 2 more cards but you do sacrifice on the potential draws that it can bring. Just a suggestion.

[@jacobwoodard818]

Lightsworn Fiendsmith works really well because of Weiss. Caesar will be amazing and The Fiendsmith is a good mill.

[@alkhemia23]

not coming tell The Infinite Forbidden and that like July for us but yeah it a good engine

[@ViperGXX]

While I agree that enlightenment dragon isn’t the best, I’ve found through testing (especially in tear builds) punishment dragon is crazy. Not only is it a interruption for decks that needs cards in grave (example: flamberge’s grave effect) it also puts back all your cards in the grave or banishment which rly helps in the grind game.

[@kacpikachu5951]

Not only that, but my brother and I have found that the threat of Enlightenment is sorta better than actually firing it because it forces the opponent into playing around it. For example, without Lost active a Branded deck is forced into going for Lubellion because Albion is too easily shut down by it, which more or less guarantees that you get one more turn.

[@midojulshin]

I take time to write something, means that I really really really appreciate how inovative is your Channel those last days ! Editing, music, etc all on point !

[@arc7xangel897]

Maxx C wasn't the issue with lightsworn not taking off in the ocg. Its the fact that though they have a few more guaranteed plays with the new support, they're still too Rng. Solid rogue deck is its ceiling, especially if they dont bring back Curious.

[@chewdoom8415]

Not to mention chaos ruler, agido and Kelbek got banned on the October ban list, as well a tear Kash limit

[@bryanverz1080]

I would like to add as an avid LS player. That the twighlightsworn shaman becomes incredibly more useable now. Before you had to play cards to actually turn her effect live but now the synchro does it. On top of that two lumina shamans and one summoner is a loop that gets you 4 bodies and 6 cards milled with one card from hand. To anyone who reads this I have now exposed something I’ve kept for years haha. Also does exactly what he mentioned where it allows you more level options while only committing at max 5 slots and as low as 3 slots (2 shaman 1 summoner) the new diabell cards have a very odd amount of synergy as well

[@PalkiaDialgaGiratina]

Enjoy seeing the thinking behind working the combos in front of us, as we test new things. A lot of things can be gained during watching the learning/testing phase like this, we definitely see the potential behind the cards.

[@Coatez2000]

Enlightenment Dragon seems incredibly nice as an additional boss for the deck. Has a few effects to burn through and recycles. Plus artwork is beautiful.

[@MiyaoMeow588]

I think it could be cool to take a look at other older themes that get new support in LEDE that have potential in that format! Stuff like Melodious. Maybe Ancient Gear, but I don't imagine a deck that has no real plays going first will do a whole lot

[@HormKrun]

Joshua schmidt: Today I learned about Lightsworn Runick

[@yugiohpromasters6445]

joshua schmidt Lightsworn orcust

[@emmarosie7176]

It would probably be a 0/0 normal monster lmao

[@ab0xxy]

I just wish the end board wasn't generic extra deck cards & instead archetypal boss monsters to continue the theme. I get why the end board is what it is, just wish they would make similar cards to the generic ones but for the archetype.

[@Aldragon]

Seems like the lights worn tear version has a lot more options in master duel, especially if you make can make a grass version. Maybe lightsworn tear snake-eyes or some abomination like that lol

[@lucasjoe1979]

The level 8 Visas synchro only requires a light monster(doesn't even have to be a non-tuner iirc) searches any Tearl spell or trap, including Pearlereino.

[@lucasjoe1979]

So you can use felis & Weiss even tho they both tuners.

[@noahbussinkwilson1505]

If you use two lightsworns you can use new menerva to send two, summon two make visas astroud because they're both light and add a testaments spell, then mill 4, then make either the zombie vampire to mill 4 more or photon lord for protection. All of of two lightsworns one of them being a tuner

[@bloodarcher7841]

Love this in depth video. I have ideas myself. Was thinking lightsworn Eldlich but wasn’t sure if it could work

[@ghosbaby]

I can't believe I never thought about combining LS with Runick with my testing. That said I'm a big fan of the tear version of the deck running with some Shaddolls for Winda access. Also Weiss can not summon herself from grave

[@durgons749]

I've been waiting for this for so long, someone to break down these cards. Let's goo, thank you

[@jjjenkins6586]

I’m excited as hell for lightsworns in this next set!

[@adambriscoe4993]

I've been trying make ls work for long time with these cards but I always fail but I feel it's the ed knowledge is the issue for me

[@juandavlin]

I’ve been testing lightsworn with tear and bystials. You’re able to sync for 10 like baronne or sync 12 (lubellion & 4 star tuner) to make crimson that goes to crystal wing

[@vintok]

Maybe the trivikarma is a good addition to the Tear version. It can activate even if its sent by cost

[@francisbartoszewski2284]

I would side deck a copy of the trap as an out to Dark Ruler No More and Droplet.

[@CharlesTaylor-lo6ol]

Bro same on the lights lightsworn nostalgia. So stoked for this. I'd probably play the fusion, also wanna fit in a Chaos angel

[@Fancyyyy____]

This core is nuts for a lot of strats like sworn/zombies sworn/bystials sworn/rollback.. etc but the hardest part is actually being good enough to see lines with the mills you get lol it’s super cool when it works though

[@NLNArkenred]

with harp at 3, you could play this new lightsworn engine in Orcust, since they don't care how they hit the grave, as long as they hit the grave

[@bennygroysman4205]

Videos like this are great. Magic and comander has so many videos that are just deck techs where they talk about a deck and the options and how you could play it. The only thing i can think of that may add to a video like this or even be an additional video after is some gameplay with the decks you showcase.

[@RoBert-gj9pl]

Fun fact: Charge of the light brigade mills for cost, thus not triggering any lightsworn or tearlament effects, except for Wulf

[@DaKurlzZz55]

love that you used the clip of you destroying that poor kid with danger ftk 🤣🤣🤣

[@casuallydone468]

Will be playing Lightsworn Thundra me thinks. That Enlightment is pure advantage on a wipe for Thundra.

[@emmastar5332]

I know it’s random test hands but when you have 4 bodies (after summing punishment) would it have been better to go for a 4 mat appo, then using the Horus cards to make the zombie vamp?

[@Kekto934]

Tearlaments Synchro Lightsworn is actually really playable. The new Synchro Miverva is a +1 Agido and half a body of a Zombie Vamp, also really tagable with Shadolls. The only downside is not enough room for the non-engine cars tho.

[@plabcentral630]

Many people forget that this was tear before tear. This is one of my favorite decks of all time and god it always feels so good to hit wulf and suet watch it roll.

[@allmight4858]

We need a Decklist to the Crystal Beast/Snake Eye Deck

[@757gamerguy2]

So I've been messing around with TearSworn and the ratios.....this build is fun af and so much more consistent. My best endboard so far was Perlereino, Scream, Sulliek, Kaleido, Dracostopelia, SP, Abyss Dweller and 3 negate Appo.

[@Flumpor]

I really want to try a Lightsworndeck utilizing Transaction Rollback with. I think there is a lot of power in LS, but to me it sounds fun trying to break boards with it :)

[@pappinator97]

Dragon + name in GY: -Summon Dragon, send Felis, Felis summon -Synchro for Minerva, send Weiss + Felis, summon 2 monsters -Synchro for Armitara, add any Tear Spell/Trap -Minerva effect, banish 4, mill 4 Here you can overlay for Zombie Vampire to mill 4 more, or you can keep Armitara as a tuner 8 to make Baronne later with Merrli. You can also turn Minerva into Crimson Dragon and Dis Pater if you happen to have another level 4 tuner on the board. This is so good!

[@tryhardgamingyt8518]

How do U make dispater with Minerva ?

[@pappinator97]

@@tryhardgamingyt8518 you did with crimson dragon, as Armitara is a 8 tuner and Minerva a 8 non-tuner, so you got the chance by having a 4 tuner on-tuner on the board. Guess doesn't matter anymore as Baronne was banned. XD

[@VORTEX___]

Would you consider including more tear cards like 3 sulliek, trivikarma, 2-3 scream, 3 tear kash, metanoise,... so that we have better mills and get to our tear engine more reliably? maybe amritara to add perlereino and some sort of 1 visas samsara/starfrost might be great to go cross-sheep, astraloud, revive a reinoheart.

[@heatherrausch6085]

Lightsworn is my all time favorite archtype and this support is perfect. The deck has been perfectly adapted to the modern game, keeping all the same flaws as it had in the past. Hating the side deck, not having room for non engine, maxx c, etc. While it does some of the same good stuff as before, some combo potential and the possibility of summoning big dragons. I don't care how strong it is, I love it

[@BLUE2U]

I'm tempted to try to mix the new lightsworns with the new infernoids but I think a lot of the infernoid stuff locks you.

[@jainahandere657]

I can't wait to see how the TCG uses the Lightsworn cards because here in the OCG the only brews I see are FTKs

Was so happy about lightsworn until I saw the horus. Just don't have the cash for em. Looks very fun though
