Frazier Smith's Side Deck MONSTERS Tier List - YGO Edison Format

[@ATrueHER0]

It’s interesting how Thunder King Rai-Oh is in C tier, but in the following format jumps up to S++ tier.

[@imnerdpodcast]

The more powerful and consistent the decks are, the better thunder king becomes.

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Infernity/herald of perfection came out after edison, infernity loops archfiend 9000 times so they search 9000 times, almost every card in herald agents searches(manju senju sonic bird/preparation of rites/agent of mystery EARTH)

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Also dragunity and six samurai came out around 2011 ish. Dragon ravine searches Smoke signal and gateway searches Both dragunity and six samurai synchro: thunder king shits on that

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Since deez decks dont exist in edison, theres no reason to play thunder king since most decks dont search except stratos/sangan/goblin zombie/black whirlwind/machina gearframe and gadgets

[@YohananYGO]

My personal favorite kind of videos I hope to see moreb

[@imnerdpodcast]

thank you

[@YohananYGO]

Hmm banisher of radiance for me , is used for floaters , most of them need to get in the grave but it is still weak i agree 👍 i wanted to mention that , it has that upside on it

[@kwamegunn1012]

I sided breaker at nats in frog monarch to get over dyna and deal with mask of restrict it also had synergy with swap frog and allowed me to dodge ddv games two and 3 where if I did the frog loop ddv didn't hit anything card seemed good d.d crow and cyber dragon to high imo but overall good list like always keep up the good work

[@mikeyvesperlick6982]

How many did you side?

[@imnerdpodcast]

Were you just playing straight frog monarchs?

[@kwamegunn1012]

@@imnerdpodcast yea I was

[@kwamegunn1012]

[@WearableTundra7]

I’ve been side decking trap eater as a neat tech in hero frogs. It gets rid of floodgates and gives you a body for monarchs or substitoad. It’s also a 1900 dark level 4 tuner

[@imnerdpodcast]

oh you mean trap eater lol I was so confused at first

[@WearableTundra7]

@ oops auto correct 😅

[@медитирую]

Cipher Soldier can be a goat vs hero sometimes

[@imnerdpodcast]

yeah I lowkey considered that card too but I always felt like snowman was better because it's water

[@alex_flamer]

Snowman Eater probably is better since it's Water, removal, and it's high defense and low level make it good synchro/tribute fodder. But Kinetic Soldier (I just like this name more) can deal heavy damage which can win games. Not even Ab Zero can get over it. And if you're playing it in Heros, it's an Earth monster which you can use to fusion summon E Hero Gaia.

[@samskott2344]

Fossil Dyna has been an MVP in my side deck as of late. It's such a versatile card that plays well into a lot of matchups. It's also great that it can either be a small Vanity's Fiend if you have tempo, but can also be a Snowman Eater on steroids if you don't. Definitely a bit better than Vanity's Fiend, but backing up Vanity's with a Deck Dev is absolutely crippling.

[@imnerdpodcast]

Fossil is broken

[@YohananYGO]

For me it's been vanity's fiend. I can imagine fossil dyna could be even better if you back it up with backrow

[@samskott2344]

@@YohananYGO I play Diva Hero so I side into both quite a bit. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. Dyna not needing a tribute makes it a little easier to commit to. Vanity's Fiend however is basically game over if you summon him at the right time. A late game Vanity's is probably curtains.

[@YohananYGO]

@@samskott2344 decks I play are LS and QuickDraw it hurts me too but I still win when I already have a board of monsters

[@nova7747]

6:40 if you tribute set the dark, yes

[@MVSkrazywhytboi]

Frazier smith coming through as always ❤ can’t wait to see spells and traps for the side!

[@imnerdpodcast]

You already know!

[@ConstanceMists]

Breaker is really good in fairies. Yes it has the normal summon aspect and the lack of synergy with typing/attribute but Ive never sided that card in and had in not put in work. Fairies just really want a guy that can pick off backrow and clear set rykos

[@imnerdpodcast]

I totally get it, but my opinion on fairies and its current side deck is just not very high anymore.

[@ConstanceMists]

Yea i get that. In general i think your placement makes sense. Seeing all the usual fairy sideboard cards in c tier is telling of that. For the most part i agree on banisher and t king being overrated, and I definitely get the breaker criticisms

[@kylemccarron1817]

Quality tier list and accompanying rationale! Do you have any plans to do another amaryllis solo series but with the WCQ turbo build?

[@imnerdpodcast]

Oh definitely, and thank you 🙏🏾

[@nicholaskoehler104]

thanks for the quality content as always :)

[@imnerdpodcast]

Thank you for the support 🙏🏾

[@alexff7]

I think zombies can theoretically side sirocco pretty easily. A lot of builds even main gale for some added synergy.

[@imnerdpodcast]

I don't like the idea of sirocco in the zombie side because it takes up the normal summon, which is super vital for that deck. I think the key to that matchup is to stop the bw traps, like Icarus and Oppression, since zombies require at least 2 cards to play, and that plays perfectly into those traps.

[@Haukel]

how do you feel about Reaper? Some decks like Fairys or Dragons(depending on the build of course) may have a really hard time outing it

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Reaper is terrible

[@shadowdraqon2479]

The only deck it hard walls is machina gadgets or machina geartown since they have no way to pop or target, only attack and summon and search

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Any deck that has tuners can synchro into something to trample(flamvell urquizeez or black armor wing) or bounce(brionac) or pop(black rose dragon) or target(armory arm)

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Glad beast can pop with murmillo/six samurai can pop with hand or zanji or irou(if reaper is facedown)/heros can pop with gemini spark or hero blast

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Flamvells can make lvl 8 synchros so they have red dragon archfiend to shit on reaper. Only lvl 5 synchros dont have a way to kill reaper since catastor cant kill dark monsters like reaper

[@wibi45]

Thoughts on king tiger wanghu?

[@imnerdpodcast]

C tier. Every deck you would side it against has really good outs to it, and sides more.

[@danglennon5642]

I played zombies in some tournament. I got crow'd five times in four games.

[@danglennon5642]

One of them was main deck crow...

[@imnerdpodcast]

Yep, as soon as people see zombies the first thing they’re thinking is “I can’t wait to touch my side deck to grab those crows”.

[@danglennon5642]

I side Sirroco in my relinquished deck

[@mikeyvesperlick6982]

I saw gemini players starting to side mystic swordsman

[@imnerdpodcast]

to pair with reinforced truth? I like the sound of that actually. That's good innovation right there.

[@alex_flamer]

Why play that card if his effect is useful against face down monsters? Why not just play Nobleman of Crossout?

[@edymiguel4247]

​@@alex_flamercause nobleman you have to draw, with mystic swordsman you can draw it, summon it with Rejnforce truth, or search it with ROTA/sangan
