Purrley is especially popular in Japan, Japanese players believed it is the META so you may see lots of Santas/Kaijus because they all believed they would get mirror matches in tournaments(facing Superheavy Samurai with less hand traps is terrible, in a 25 teams 3vs3 tournament, players all prepared for purrely mirrors (play triple tactic tasks for facing MaxxC, playing only 3 MaxxC 1 impermanence and no other hand traps) and they predicted correctly that out of 75 players only two of them played SHS. In Korea, Earth GS won all the tournament iirc. In China,Taiwan,Hong Kong and SEA, purrley is just a normal META deck that performs good, but not like Japanese players who loved and believed that is META answer.

My girlfriend wanted to play Purrely and so I wanted to get the deck max rarity for her. At the time, it was about $700 to get the deck blinged out in Collector's Rare. I was saving up money for it but now everybody became aware of the deck and now, it's over $1500

[@adamata64]

I main Exosister and they really are just awful compared to any other competent deck. The fact that we have to rely on Aratama and Sakitama as rank 4 extenders is proof of that given the fact that even some OCG players are dropping Sophia and Irene because they are just that useless.

[@lenuellzelren]

i love these lil fluffs im glad i got in early

[@EinSilverRose]

As an Exosister player this Purrely support frustrates me so much. Purrely gets everything it needs, strong spells, strong boss monsters, a boss monster you literally can't touch if it has 5 materials and can spin cards to the bottom of the deck all while becoming a huge beatstick. It also didn't get touched at all by the banlist AND every other deck that was good got hit like crazy. Purrely have very little restrictions but Exosisters can't even glance at any form of Rank 4 toolbox or engines because Martha is so important as a starter. Doesn't help that Martha only summons Elis, the only extender the deck has, instead of literally any Exosister. The Xyz just aren't as strong as they should be with how archetype restricted Exosister are. Only Mikailis and Magnifica are actually good since they have a quick effect. And even then Mikailis and Gibrine only get their quick effect on the turn they are Xyz summoned. Asophiel's bounce effect isn't a quick effect for some godforsaken reason and Kaspitell is used more for searching Martha than blocking the graveyard special summons. We also have to keep in mind that Exosister debuted with PUNK and Adventure engine, two archetypes with negligible restrictions if any AND Martha was released alongside Tearlaments and Spright, two other archetypes whose restrictions don't matter due to how you play them. It's just so annoying how Konami deliberately makes some decks good until they have to ban or restrict some the cards or just barely decent enough to still lose to the better decks.

I'm happy I bought them early. I only paid 50 for the set, but I'm probably going to sell them because I have little interest in actually playing the deck, and there is no way the draw spell survives the ban list. Im pretty sure the price will drop again in the future.

The new cards feel like the kind of stuff you give to shit-tier archetypes to make them decently playable, like what Circular was for Mathmechs. Except... this deck was very much playable, even taking the top spot of the OCG metagame. Absolutely insane that they gave them these cards

[@Avermra]

[@alfiearmadillo]

Idk if the new cards are even that great. The end board pre these 2 is good enough anyway, and the trap is bricky going second. You def play 1 of the new noir but idk of the trap is even worth playing

[@grodon909]

I was waiting with the hope that the price would drop before people realized it was good. That...didn't happen... I will say, I really don't like when the cards that make an archetype playable are prohibitively expensive. Like, you can do a scuffed version of Kashtira with the cheaper cards, and mainly lose combos and consistency without fenrir or the spells. Things like Runick or Purrely are virtually useless without their >$30 3-ofs.

[@jumpiestaman100]

Santas Claws just for a crash to go into Zeus seems...ok? Isn't it fine to just use a weak Kaiju like Kumongous or Gameciel, run through it, and go through Zeus that way? Also trying to buyout the cards and make a profit generally is stupid, especially if the cards/decks end up not being that good in the TCG. Remember that we do have a banlist coming up that'll affect the power of these new deck supports and whatnot.

[@cyber5787]

Kaiju need to be summoned in attack and all your Purrely Xyz have lower than 2000 Atk so they will die

[@alexrochaix8514]

It's not for zeus, it's for otk since it summons in defense since with Happiness you can attack 4 times, and Pretty changes it's battle position. You essentially search Delicious, make Claws battle proof, and go ham with Happiness

I bought mikanko because I love the idea of 2 trash mechanics, and I love the art of the cards as well, but the support is very mid, while the purely support is busted, like you said, it's kinda hard to foresee that

[@chaotixthefox]

Purrely's base gameplan was already good, a towers that can spin anything the opponent commits is quite strong. Much better than anything Mikanko does in house. It was clear that only a single wave of support would push it into contending for the top spot if it was remotely playable. Lily alone would have done the job.
