How Good is the YUBEL Archetype?

[@TroyTheTCGTrustee]

I play at a 50 player locals and ive gone 11-0-1 over our last 3 event with the deck. Playing against tenpai, snake eyes, fire king, voiceless, melodious, branded, lightsworn, goblin punk pride, dino morphia and horus bystial. So can definitely say if played correctly the deck can be a massive threat on any day. I will say the hand trap variant with skill drain and mature chronicle has definitely been the most consistent for going 1st or 2nd. Chronicle nets you so much card advantage in the grind game, especially with throne, pain and eternal favorite up

Hey, since you've played the deck at a locals tourney I was wondering if you knew the official rulings that my friends and I were trying to determine last night. I was playing my Yubel deck on paper yesterday and my friends were debating whether or not I was allowed to crash my Spirit of Yubel, Yubel, or Yubel - Terror Incarnate into their monsters with Nightmare Pain on the field because the card specifically says "When this card is targeted for an attack.... blah blah then deal damage to your opponent equal to the opponent monster's attack". They were trying to say that since I was targeting their card for an attack then technically my Yubel monsters were not the target of attack. I tried searching for legitimate rulings because they just kept telling me the simulators I have been training with could be wrong in allowing it.

@danslitadventure terror incarnate is the only one with the wording on if it's targeted for an attack your opponent takes the damage. But to answer your question. If nightmare pain is on field they will take the damage regardless of whether you're attacking or them. The thing I've got mixed answers on, depending who was judging that night was if yubels ability to reflect damage stacks with nightmare pain where they would take double damage. I've had multiple say that it would apply double. From nightmare pain then yubel, then other that say nightmare pain gets priority. So that been the main ruling I've seen mixed answers too. And still am not certain on myself. But your friends were definitely wrong on that. You could literally have skill drain up with nightmare pain and spirit. And attack everytime into them and float into another body for easy otks.

@@TroyTheTCGTrustee Appreciate this comment man. I felt like I was going crazy last night. It was getting to the point that I was all like, “why would anyone play this if you couldn’t do X, Y, or Z”. They were probably terrified of the OP-ness honestly.

I've been waiting for this one!!

Took me.long enough 😂

One for one is also good because it special summons the lotus. That means if you open with one for one and beckoning beast you can use both of your normal summons on the 2 beckoning beasts and overlay for djinn buster to have a monster negate before special summoning lotus from deck and going full combo with the ability to negate a hand trap.

😊 i will be playing both yubell and centurion 💯👍🏽

[@katherinephilippakis1270]

When phantom of yubel releases u can cut back on the third spirit of yubel and the second yubel.

[@Fsbr21]

i wish there was a combo spreadsheet for yubel

[@MattOsheaYGO]

I'm.sure someone smarter than me has made it lol

[@albertosalazar200608]

Please if you find it let us know lol

[@liamlovering3574]

Could you do an updated version of something like memento Like How good is memento post INFO BTW. Its crazy good

[@0mma0mma0]

How about Horus engine in this deck? Thanks

[@MattOsheaYGO]

I see the appeal but I don't think it's necessary. Already needs so much space for non Engine. Adding the Horus cards gives less hand traps which I think is a mistake this format

[@thaoxiong6362]

Definitely, I am hoping to see some methods to defeat the deck.

[@thelegendmc2121]

Mature chronicle is still good, you can go easy in Koloss

[@rashawunjones3281]

Its nice deck i dont consider it s tier even tho it does wins most duels
