[@yunggod3076]

Calling Cyberdark Wurm a Circular for cydra is crazy talk. Both cards (Jormungandr and Wurm) are decent at best. I'd agree that Wurm is better in most cases, but it's not even a starter nor does it search one. You need to play the game first, with already existing cydra cards in order to get the full potential of the Wurm. Normal core; gets impermed, Link it off to be able to activate repair plant, and/or use emergency and then u can get the full value of Wurm. Which means u already need to open with your best starters in order to make full potential of Wurms effects. I've seen what one circular does in MD. Cyberdark Wurm ain't doing allat my G.

[@turtle-bot3049]

Pretty much this, the card itself allows for some really nice uninterrupted combos, but the deck is still insanely fragile to disruption. I will say that at least Wurm opens up additional starter options for the deck (realm/claw/chimera) but Wurm is not a starter on its own.

[@ferdyoktav]

Cydra need something that can give opponent Token like Girsu if they want consistently use Jormungandr first turn

[@yunggod3076]

Yea, and I hate the fact that you're incentivized to play cyberdark cards if you wanna use wurm. Is a good field spell for the normal cydra deck too much to ask? The way the things are going, we are more likely to get some generic machine support type of a field spell, that will help cydra in a roundabout way, rather than an actual good direct support for cydra. I'm not even asking to get broken cards to help push it to tier1 deck. That way, Konami is more likely to hit the deck on the banlist. Just asking for good cards that are intended for cydra and cydra alone, making them consistent and resilient to at least 1 handtrap activation trough a combo. Instead, we are gonna slam 2 new cards in our decks, add some cybedarks and 3 polymerizations for extra consistency bois. Hippie hooray!!

[@jake64royal]

Big Agree

[@marlonb.4017]

They restricted the bad Crydra so it’s not a generic go second tool that can make infinity and counter machine decks for just one brick being OG cydra. Which might’ve been something, but people only on slow control decks, because two extra deck slots for a go second card and 1 brick, is crazy. Now a free infinity going second is Crazy pressure those so I guess.

[@JoshyyBear_]

I really thought the cyber dragon support was undercooked. Like they didn’t know fully what they wanted to do with it, but they had a deadline and needed to do something. I just look at the cards a think to myself, why???

[@sepheiba]

the support is gonna stay cheeks until they stop mixing the cyberdarks with the cyber dragons, or they make more broken main deck cyberdark monsters and new cyber dragon fusions, cause no one want to play those old ass cards in 2025. also no one want to play poly

It doesn't seem like every archetype is getting one, y'all just started looking for any effect even vaugely similar to those cards and calling them copies.

[@aczeos]

How do you get away with the music in your videos? Im surprised Nintendo hasn't ended your whole career 😂

[@greenhillmario]

I want to put it out there that frost is a better starter for twins now over Lilla in case of a handtrap, you can make nib awkward for your opponent at almost every juncture

[@nyurgh1139]

Nah, you still want regular Ki-sikil. NS Pink can only be stopped by using Ghost Ogre on Pink, then Ash or Imperm on the Lil-Lia. That burns 2 interrupts and leaves a Level 2 on board, so any Spright in hand is combo. It removes the initial chokepoints in your combo, but any player actually familiar with Twin plays with just save their interrupting for non-Twin chokepoints. If Pure Twins were viable, this support would be insane, but the archetype is still fairly weak without Spright or Fiendsmith.

[@greenhillmario]

@ I said frost > Lilla, never mentioned og kisikil. I also think if someone actively burns two cards into my starter that’s not a situation worth considering because I should have opened some sort of extender, and if not they’re still down 2 cards because they misplayed. FWIW I think people just do not explore twins, theres actually a decent number of variants you can build if you apply two concepts: doesn’t need ns and doesn’t care about the extra/works with the locks. In tear format I was able to go 40/60 into tear with twins (you can only make up so much ground against a deck your own win con actively helps) by playing bystials and chaos cards. Twins work really well in bolstering the ground for these decks without ns’s and that’s where these cards really open up deck building. It sucks that pure is bad but they’d power crept that concept of a pure deck with the marincess/salamangreat cards. At least now they’re making it possible to play with the fiend pool. Also also spright twins suck I hate them if I’m not summoning a link 4 fiend in the turn im not playing twins

The Cyber Dragon Support is so mind-bogglingly terrible that I struggle to put into words how sad it makes me. It fixes none of the issues the deck has while further forcing us down the awful Cyberdark route. Even the 1 card infinity has an utterly useless secondary effect. Who the fuck plays Poly in CyDra? The worst part is that it 100% kills the possibility of ever getting halfway decent CyDra support.

I like LT getting new support but feel like its kinda just not gonna do much. It just pushes the chokepoints up to the links instead of the main deck monsters and at that point it becomes a bad engine to get to fiendsmith.

[@Sx2Kirby]

Fundamentally the "issue" is still that Live Twins still is just a draw 1, destroy 1 and a non-targeting send on the follow up turn. I'm not quite sure it'll stack up to Maliss and Ryzeal especially when the Fiendsmith cards get hit again.

[@CJSGNR]

The main appeal, outside of the whole waifu thing, was how compact the main deck space was imo. It's 15 one card starters with the link 1. Extra deck is gonna be extremely tight tho.

[@ASecretLynn]

Normal summon any live twin monster turns into a targeting pop, a draw, a non targeting pop/monster reborn, and desirea/Cesar. Any extender in hand turns into all of that + unchained soul of rage. This new support adds so much versatility to what the deck can do and it's resource management, as well as gives it was to play through 2-3 hand traps on average. It's not just good, it's REALLY good.

[@Sx2Kirby]

@@ASecretLynn Don't misunderstand, definitely not saying it's bad. I've done some testing now and it's spicy no doubt. I could have worded it better though. Personally I've cut the Unchained stuff now to run more non-engine and I think it's got the sauce... if the cards were out now. I could definitely see a hit to fiendsmith soon.

[@rocapbg9518]

People calling for Requiem ban have either not played the format or they haven't thought about it for more than 5 seconds. If they banned requirm right now this format would be absolute garbage.

[@four-en-tee]

I'm going to be honest: Sweet is a mediocre hand trap. This doesn't stop Nibiru, it has to be chain-link 3 to negate. Its basically Witch's Strike on a hand trap as opposed to Called By (a better example of a pseudo Called By is Turn Silence from the Shining Sarcophagus package). It also only covers the Live Twin portion of the deck, so its only ever going to really counter a negate like Ash or Veiler, a board pop like Ghost Ogre, or an on-field monster negate (which we banned most of the generic ones already, this is only ever going to come up against archetype specific negates like Azamina Silvia, Phantom of Yubel, etc.). Sweet is an excellent extender though. What's good about this card is that its basically a better Jet Synchron or Unchained Shyama. Sweet doesn't have some sort of condition after her reborn effect, she just goes back to the GY. So in a grind game situation, you can resolve this effect over multiple turns with just a single copy. I get that Fiendsmith Twins will be a thing this format, but I'm more so excited to start breaking Spright Twins again since you can still lean into a Soul of Rage line using Abyss Actor Super Agent.

[@felipemendes5336]

The draw portion is a lingering eff tho

[@sandroheilmann]

@@felipemendes5336 doesnt matter as the draw portion only works if they directly chain their effects to kis and lilla monster which they obviously will not in these scenarios. and since cards like nib can be activated outside that window its still a all time present threat to your boardstate too bad new support actually can summon djinnbuster on 5th summon if u do not interact with the live twin normal summon

[@sandroheilmann]

u can actually summon djinnbuster on 5th summon with new support

[@four-en-tee]

@@felipemendes5336 I'm guessing you wrote this before I caught that and omitted that part of the comment. Yeah, i didn't realize it was a lingering effect on the first read. That being said, the effect more so reads like a Purulia than it does Fuwalos or Maxx "C". I figure you'd get maybe 2-3 draws max, its essentially a better Heatsoul. Ideally if you're facing Twins, you want to just stick to the gameplan of hitting them with Nibiru on their fifth summon from what I can tell. Like, I think Fiendsmith Twins will be rogue this format (its far from the best Fiendsmith variant). I just think that Spright is going to get a hell of a lot more utility out of this. Its basically a second Spright Sprind, and you can still make a somewhat conventional Spright end board under Dimension Shifter if you're facing Maliss. And if you open only Twins against Maliss: make Gigantic, 2 lock everyone, combo into Sprind, dump Cyber Ouroboros and have it get banished to dig a little more for non-engine.
