We CB players just need extra deck cards and perhaps, upd Graded stats and effects.

Extra deck cards to do interactions during either players and have power potential.

[@ShadowMasterLuigi]

Madolche is definitely an amazing deck with the new support and could see it having a good place in the meta the end board is really good going first with not many decks that can consistently get through the Omni(Promenade), Compulse(Dessert), the grave return(Teacher), and the Spin(Tiarafraise) in addition to any hand traps or other spells/traps you could have drawn into. as well as its usually ability of being able to dismantle a lot of end boards going second thanks to the always great Tiaramisu it also has a Fiendsmith Variant I've been testing out that can add Ceasar, Desirae, or Apo to the Madolche Endboard for even more power while also making Hootcake a consistent starter since the Apo line ends with monsters in grave that it can Banish, and Fiendsmith doesn't really get in the way of Petingcessoeur since there are combo lines that end with no monsters in grave, the fiendsmith cards can also take the hit from handtraps to allow Madolche to full combo much more consistently instead of losing to 1 Ash.Imperm, and these 2 also have amazing Small World Synergy with most of the Engine pieces from both sides and the hand traps working as either the starting or middle card for the Small World Bridges to any of the starters

[@arceusblade100]

[@evoLPFAN2011]

It has good options, with the Centur-Ion engine, but some big fault points like Crimson Resonator make it a C-tier. Needs some support to replace crimson resonator as the play maker. Cards like Synkron and Vision resonator can be special summoned, so it helps, but that means that the soul resonator one-card combo can be really bad. This deck dies against Bystials. Centur-ion makes this a much better deck alongside the Crimson King support, but still need some help with more pivot points. To be clear, I play a 60 card RDA deck on a consistent basis and love the RDA deck

28:18 The Ragnaraika engine is being contested right now; ROTA has the Battlewasp cards which arguably give a better endboard.

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

I want to mention something. You CAN make the God cards pretty good, if you slap them on Floowanderzee. Empen summoning Sphere Mode on the opponent's turn is absolutely hysterical of a play, and Slifer is a fantastic floodgate to combine with Empen as well. Ra can also solve Floo's lack of OTK options. Also, Crystal Beasts CAN run a lot of non engine in small decksizes without bricking, if you are creative with the deck. There is just little reason to bother since you can simply brute force through most endboards with sheer gas and thus rarely need the non engine to begin with. Especially if you open Rainbow Bridge of the Heart, wich in addition to a searcher and double summon, it's also a removal spell.

[@residentgrey]

The fact that the cards become continuous spells brings out some old cards to the front. That is another set I want to cook with.

Your production quality has been awesome in the last months. So good to watch. Keep it up! BUT Adventure Synchron with the Diabellstar engine is not an F Tier deck. I don't know how many tops Exodia has/will get in the near future but Adventure Synchron has by far the most regional tops in the last few formats of these Anime decks and it's definitely not because it's played more than the others. I got single digit placements in two regionals with over a 100 players myself. These tournaments should be acceptable in the case of Anime Decks to measure it's viability if you compare the decks to Blue-Eyes etc. Junk Speeder is not that susceptible to hand traps as almost any standard line summons it uneffected with Accel Stardust still people hold their cards for that spot. I feel like the representation in Master Duel is not really representative of what the deck looks like in competitive TCG. Yes, I am biased for sure but it's a bias build on playing the deck in competitive environments. The deck is better than Heros, DM etc for sure. But it's totally understandable to not know every minor rogue deck and it's competitiveness. Reasonable😂

[@gabrielpujol4709]

Bro I’m glad someone agrees with me I was looking for a synchro player to comment on that like wtf is he talking about you seen them just top recently he doesn’t know the potential of the deck and assumes it’s out dated I guess

[@LacaYGO]

@@gabrielpujol4709 the problem is the small player base. Many decks have greater potential than what they seem through relresentation and innovation. Many rogue decks suffer from that effect because not enough actual competitive players work on the deck as they do on the decks that are easier to get viable for the meta. It's natural that these smaller decks aren't noticed as much then. No accusation to Jesse. You just can't be that deep into all of these decks. It's just not relevant for the top meta players

[@fishiboybg1751]

Salamangreats are kinda insane though, currently. Their sbility to utilize the Snake-Eyes engine is amazing, yet they can't really utilize Fiendsmith not only due to their fire locks, but also because of their super tight Extra Deck. The deck is amazing even without the Snake-Eyes engine due to their multiple statyers and Gazelle and Stalio. I'm currently running a Salamangreat Fire Kings build with no Snake-Eyes cards and I've been getting top 3 results at my locals against Yubel and other meta decks. The inability of Salamangreat to stop Nibiru is a huge downside though... Great video!

Supreme King is a very consistent engine that can make brutal end boards when paired with something like Pend Magician or Melodious, either layered interaction from IP>SP, Time Pendulumgraph, Appo etc plus adding back extension for next turn and drawing into hand traps. or with Melodious Ostinato is a one card combo that can let you set up Absolute dragon on summon 5 letting you insulate against Nib since they either nib there and you get to summon vortex, or they don't and by the time vortex is out you have a live negate. even without ostinato it has several 2 card combos that can result in some nasty links and rank 7 xyz.

As a Dark Magician player I can accept the placement. I like to have fun duels with some back forth and DM allows me to do just that.

[@SultanMirBeats]

Been playing bystial Burning abyss latley its pretty solid. one of my favorite decks of all time and is always splashable with other decks thanks to cherubini

[@terminateallsjws8318]

What do you think of mannadium?

[@konohakards]

Some of my favourite rouge decks I’d like to see talked about are Ninjas, Six Samurai, Yosenju & Spyrals 🥷🏻

[@Serge-25]

nobody remembers D/D/D as an anime deck...that actually topped a few ycs unlike most of the rest of the list. It even has some synergy with fiendsmiths

[@crayyonnyadrav4055]

I honestly was pondering to re-enter YGO after seeing both Ritual Beast and Madolche. But when I was last sunday at my LGS, 5 of the 9 guys played Snake Eye Fiend Smith so I dropped the thought.

[@tdslayer6302]

Don't know much about the tcg side of things in terms of competitiveness, but is blue-eyes and DM really that much better than the synchron deck? Also would memento be considered rogue rn?

[@autobotstarscream765]

Blue-Eyes depends on the rest of the support.

[@tdslayer6302]

@@autobotstarscream765 ah makes sense, I saw a few of the new cards and I’ve seen some combos so with that in mind yea I can see the ranking being the way it is a little more

[@chrisjones1473]

Im looking forward to the lightsworn video. Im a returning player that quit when symchros came out and ive been attempting to learn the game again. Been playing Tear Lightsworn on Master Duel and Dark World

[@Wortigon2000]

I use Harpie's Pet Dragon Fearsome Fire Blast in a deck as an extender. It's not even a harpy deck. It's Speedroid. And it's only valid in master Duel, where a level 7 non-tuner extender can go into Baronne in that deck really easily. Sadly it can't go into the other level 10 big boss we use, as it requires a synchro tuner, and a clear wing non tuner. Basically Cork Shooter and Clear Wing Synchro Dragon/Clear Wing Fast Dragon Synchrons relying heavily on Junk Speeder is a weakness, sure, but if it resolves, that gives access to millions of possible combos for an insane endboard. Mine usually had more negates than my opponent had cards in hand. That deck is insane if Speeder goes through, but busted if it doesn't. Kind of a 1 trick pony, but with a really strong trick. For Photon, I'd include Hope Harbinger as a honorary card for the archetype. I kinda miss red dragon archfiend/resonators as an anime deck. It's a good budget option due to the structure deck. Tearlaments were never a problem deck. The Ishizu cards were. And I'm really f*cking glad they're limited to 2/12. F*ck stun. Runic stun was cancer. The less of those cards are still legal, the better the game gets. Receantly I've seen a Spright deck that can bring out Magia with just about any starting hand. Through multiple handtraps. It was pretty insane. Sprights are really good if someone knows how to use them well. Adventure engine is still pretty decent in MD though. Where baronne and Borreload Savage are still valid. Infernoble had 2 good cards. 1 got banned. Renaud can't carry it alone. Heck, I've seen Isolde and Renaud used in other decks more than in Infernobles. Let's say, Jeffrey Leonard's Indianapolis Exodia deck for example. Dragonlink physically can't die. It has tons of options. You take away one, they find another. To actually hurt it, you'd have to take away something very core to them, like Striker Dragon. What I find weird, is that you included Paleozoics, but not Labrynth/Traptrix as trap decks. Labrynth is probably the strongest among them, but Traptrix is really cheap thanks to the structure deck, making it a great and very consistent budget option in my opinion. (any 1 monster -> Sera -> go combo off as you want) I'd also love to see Speedroids/Clear Wing as an option, which almost never shows up, but I love as a deck. Windwitches are also a nice package to slap on the deck, for an extra free unkillable Crystalwing, if you pull the windwitch combo starter. Alternatively, Blackwings. Blackwings are one of the most versatyle archetype I ever played. They can keep comboin on for a long time through multiple handtraps, and set up a board. If they don't get hit too hard, than a rather impressive board at that. Imagine taxing your opponent for over 2000 life points for every monster effect activation, while you can also negate a bunch. Or be unaffected. Or just pop their monsters on their turn. Simultaniously.

[@urke5895]

Yo Jesse, could you please add Witchcrafters to the tier list? I'm interested in your opinion on the versatility of the deck, and at the end of the day, the usability of the deck.

[@averagefronkle3122]

Beetrooper player here. Personally think you’re underrating em’. They’re able to play through a ton of single target hand traps and they end on enough recovery tools to where even if they deal with the turn one board, you can just throw the kitchen sink at them turn 3. Should at least be C, but I’d rate them on the lower end of B.

[@stephenhull1958]

I think Drytron would have been a good option to talk about, personally my all time favourite deck but with recent support the decks game plan has slightly changed and made it alot more interesting

[@Ni9htshadow33]

left out Red Dragon archfiend, and swordsoul would really like to see where those are right now.

[@Incognito-v6m]

I think no one consider to add then to the list 😢

[@boxsummoner2424]

My boys Yuma and Shark Utopia and Shark/Armored decks from Zexal lets go baby!

[@TCGMetalZ]

17:50 I'm pretty sure dragon ruler still wins for most bans, considering every card in the archetype was banned at one point

[@ForourLord95]

Are black wings and Red dragon archfiend not worth mentioning? You can mix black wings with a lot of different stuff. Bystial, Centurion, Fiend smith, you also got the kali yuga stuff if you want to get really toxic. Let's not forget that they burn with a lot of their effects so no one is going to be trying to play time against you, and if you can get a fully established board you're likely going to win that duel.

[@NastyNate689]

Where would you put marincess and Ojama abc at?

[@vasilistheocharis164]

Resonators are worthy of being considered at least. They mix well with centurion, have better utility for supernova and are super consistent. Their only problem is the choke points because they are really bad but centurion helps with that and if centurion gets another dark dragon synchro I believe RDA could do a lot.

[@jkteddy77]

It's obscene Rescue Ace is considered rogue, if more people wanted to play it, it would be Tier 1

[@randay_crap8306]

what is your take on evil eyes? (maybe alongside unchained/fiendsmith)?

[@constabrielbell4523]

Pendulum just needs a little more push. What I noticed is that pend just doesn’t have early enemy removal or 1 card recursions not to mention special summoning pend monsters from deck or hand is so rare like bruh for a deck that needs links to summon a lot its hard to get them.

[@SamBsound]

Resonator absolutely belongs in A-tier, if not stronger. Bunch of starters and bunch of room for non engine. And Flame Crime/Red Reign do a lot to improve the decks resilience to Hand Traps (even as 1 ofs). And there are so many ways to play it... Bystials/Pure/Centurion... Would be sick to see you try it. P.S. If you try pure, play Void Apocalypse.

[@_thebigsteve]

I would like to see where dinosaurs, sharks, domain monarchs, cyber dragons, salamangreats, and pendulum magician go on the list.

[@RussellBlanc]

I've been playing Witchcrafters, I'd love to know what Jesse thinks of that deck.

[@vampireguy92]

Unfortunately many decks got lost in time due to more powerful and crazier decks coming out. There's a few decks like lunalight that might actually still be pretty decent. Dinos aren't half bad. Unfortunately a lot of pendulum decks just fell off and collected dust like dinomist and deskbots and just never got support again

[@miin1610]

I really want to see where the plants deck are on the list like rikka sunavalon or traptrix

[@Amar-lp3sd]

RDA needs some love, I mean deck can make a pretty strong board if doesn't get hit by negate (most of the time it will). Crimson King Structure Deck was awsome and picking up 3x deck is a really strong deck without bricked hands but it doesn't have enough non-engine. If you put some hand traps and some staples and really make deck modern it's a solid A. I've already won locals with this budget deck and I must say it's really fun to play.👍

[@jrtg5758]

Love the cutscene to CrushCards!
