RB doesn't care about Ogre at all, we're either under Shifter or protect with Lara. And while we're at it, we can also use Book of Eclipse as a defensive tool to protect from Nibiru, since we can still Contact Fuse with face-down monsters.

[@ShadowMasterLuigi]

2 you didn't mention that can be good for decks that can run them are Gamma and Herald of Orange Light since they can counter Shifter and are basically the only option to do so when going second if your opponent drops it on their turn

[@Jerry4281]

I play it in d link, my opponents go always draw the one of huh? 😂😂😂 I am like bro I am just trying to play the game when a card doesn't let you do that, and you mad I drew the one of gtfo😂😂😂😂😂

[@Petsinwinter2]

I adore Metaltronus. It's just tricky to value in a format because it's not just about what you can negate with it, but the quality of the body you bring out. Metaltronus is amazing when a meta endboard piece matches Atk/type/attribute with anything with a powerful gy effect or is easy material for a strong ED monster.

[@TgsMaverick]

This was definitely helpful for me-I like where my Tenpai deck is but I've been really struggling to get the right non-engine for my Pure Kashtira deck. The biggest issue is that since I'm a shifter deck, I have to figure out if it's worth maining or siding multiple non-engine that conflict with it. Obviously if I open shifter that's phenomenal and it's a huge advantage, but if I don't, most of the best breakers (and some of the hand traps) this format conflict with it in some way (Droplet, Slayer, Droll, sorta veiler). Lava Golem and/or Sphere mode may be the way to go in the side for me (As much as I like Ultimate Slayer and have the room for it) as I can work around my normal summon if needbe. DRNM can be an option too. I haven't had issues running droplet with Shifter in Tenpai, but that's also because I blind second. Going first if I draw both, one is a dead card. Hand trap + Talent main feels like the correct choice for Kash since too many breakers conflict with shifter, and just gotta side hard for Yubel I guess.

Ogre on Nightmare Pain is SO strong

@@Pleia_Ds I feel like ogre is a lot stronger than people are giving her credit for right now

[@matthewbrady1562]

[@OsirusHandle]

issue is if they make the link 0 first but thats normal

[@Pokerbrosmtt]

​@@EpicSaxPandaYeah I underestimated Ogre until someone used it on me lol there was a time I used Ogre and even though I destroyed their card, I still got screwed because it wasn't negated. I need to learn how to use it better ..

[@elijahwilliams5734]

Unless they have the continuous spell they get from dark beconing beast it recycles continues spells out of the grave if u control lvl 10 monster

[@Mr.WarwickBot]

Clean cut Josh will be a great format!

[@YourKingSkeletor]

1 counter point on Ghost Mourner is that there are 2 scenarios where the card is a must main. First, if your tournament has a ton of Shifter decks (like mine often does) then it's much better than Veiler. The second, if you are playing Gimkick Puppets (or another burn deck) then Mourner becomes one of the best handtraps your deck could run, serving as both non engine and a pseudo engine piece.

[@LOS18]

yeah mourner is sick in gimmick puppets, really helps if you dont draw the field spell or if you get impermed or something

[@YourKingSkeletor]

@@LOS18 Won cuz someone Bystialed my Cattle Scream when I was gonna revive it to their field. Was just shy of lethal even with it. Mournered then used C15 to pop and burn for 5k winning the game.

[@hi123452008]

It's also a time card.

[@handledeeznuts_]

Mourner has won me games with purrely in a pinch. target a big body. then spin it away

[@RockerOf60s70s80s]

In testings, I found that with new Mermail Atlantean handles pretty good going 2nd against Yubel. Combined with non-engine board breakers, makes the deck a lot more oppressive since Mermail Atlantean already has a good amount of in-archetype boardbreakers already.

[@smurfaccount282]

which non-engine board breakers did you use? im trying to optimize my mermail for a tourney next month and i've been playing around with the new dominus trap. also a good thing about the new atlantean stuff is, if you have room for it in the extra deck, it has become extremely easy to summon abyss dweller and kragen, both of which straight up out several of the top decks in the format. Especially kragen is quite funny against tenpai and fiendsmith. "oh no fire monsters cant be hit with activated effects - oh wait kragen's continuous effect makes all the tenpai WATER, and all of the tenpai protection effects protect FIRE dragon monsters on the field"

[@JetComboSupreme]

Some madlad hit me with cursed seal of the forbidden spell and locked me out of nightmare pain for the whole duel. I wasn't even mad.

For yubel you could run chain summoning vs them as well

Thrust working against shifter and mulcharmys going first feels worth mentioning, supplementing the worse end board with a trap can make up for the stuff you miss

[@tykixds]

forgot to mention dominus purge and might as well do dominus impulse too at this point too since its gonna be out in 3 weeks

[@guy_who_games]

Going second with minimal hand traps and loaded up on board breakers is more fun

All good and fun until opp puts something on the board you can't activate spell cards 😂

[@Smootyinc]

Left out ghost reaper and winter cherries bro, it is really good going second vs fiendsmith, even better if you have ED space for more targets

[@nabroleonswolenaparte2348]

I actually think Superpoly is very nice into the yubel board since you can hit desirae with either varudras or soul of rage into dragostapelia which can force out phantom…

[@alexYu-gi-oh]

Desirae will get rid of Dragostapelia once it hits the GY so you cant really force anything out with Drago

[@nabroleonswolenaparte2348]

@@alexYu-gi-ohtrue lol but I still consider it worth it

[@RhydderchZX]

If you expect to play against Yubel with a super poly extra deck and you are not playing loving defender forever you are throwing

[@alexYu-gi-oh]

@@RhydderchZX phantom cannot be used as fusion material so unless your opponent is ending on a random yubel on their field (they wont), your loving defender is pretty bad

[@RhydderchZX]

@@alexYu-gi-oh of course, just gotta bait the phantom and they will most of the time bring out a normal Yubel after everything resolves, and if you only have the super poly you can always make mudragon or something

Thanks for sharing your insights.

[@EpicSaxPanda]

With shifter being so prevalent, how do people feel about lancea?

[@eddysegafan6655]

I've been using Lancea for awhile now too in order counter Shifter. Very handy card, but not sure what else it would counter

[@EpicSaxPanda]

@@eddysegafan6655 first thing that comes to mind is runick stuff and kashtira, but against yubel it stops grave squirmer, yama, and aerial eater I guess?

[@SamBsound]

It only works against decks that NEED to banish stuff. Like if Phantom of Yubel banished instead of shuffling for cost, it would be insane. But it's pretty much only good against Ritual Beast.

[@PeTr0o0L]

Ultimate slayer honestly in theory is fantastic if you can play it. Against yubel no matter what happens they will find a way to summon phantom of yubel even through 2-3 handtraps, so if you can manage to handtrap them once or twice and make the end board weaker, its fantastic at breaking the half boards. Has the benefit of not being once per turn either.

[@mickjaegar2379]

Thoughts on Vesper Girsu? Outside of potentially making you lose in time, it seems like a decent one to main deck, and it's super affordable.

[@Ragnarok540]

I wonder if there is an OCG yugituber out there doing handtrap tier lists. "Guys, you are not going to believe it, Maxx C is still the best handtrap for 8 years in a row!"

[@xenonim]

This is also true in MD. One handtrap really do nothing, even worst most player will prepare answer for your handtrap like called by the grave and crossout.

[@EliDSage]

A masterduel list would be cool

[@gungnir382]

I play a Mix with Handtraps and Boardbreaker

[@darkolos5836]

I main Eclipse and Daruma in my Deck. If you know how long you can hold it until you have to activate it, it can stop the entire opponents turn on their own. A lot of times they either think its an imperm and therefore would just play through it or you hold it so long they think its a bluff and completely lose to it. I even main daruma because if you deck is good enough at grinding the card basically resets OPTs lol.

[@TinTinPlays]

were is retaliating C the best meme tech card vs snake eyes and in master duel it seaches maxx c

[@LionheartBeatz]

highly appreciated 🙏

[@ioan.vasile]

What about super poly and yubel loving defender in side, am I missing something, I thought about siding them going second, wouldn't you clear their whole field like that?

[@GranKrat]

The Yubel deck tends to end on Phantom of Yubel as their only Yubel monster which cannot be used as fusion material.

[@ioan.vasile]

@@GranKrat ahhh, indeed, I forgot that

[@adriancalinescu577]

If you have extra deck space and really care about yubel matchup, superpoly into yubel, the loving defender forever does just win vs yubel

[@feeltheflow5173]

Danke sehr hilfreich deine Einschätzung 👍🏻

[@RNGHater]

Crow is fine for me, since I'm on Purrely, at worst is an Extra level 1 that can help me make Lyrilusc/Fucho to break a board. I also used to run veiler, but I run into too many enough decks that I had to use mourners instead since at least those would be live most of the time (looking at you random bird enjoyer).

I was about to say that. Cent does pretty well vs shifter. Can’t wait for the support atrii and prima

[@lurrielee2755]

Doesn't Shifter turn off the field spell, which is the main point of the deck?

[@abcrx32j]

@@lurrielee2755 Not really. It turns off your ability to set bodies from deck, which isn't that much of a problem for Centur-ion, it's only a problem for hybrids. The summoning on your opponent's turn is what you care about the most and that's completely online. Plus the dark Synchro can get material back from banishment.

[@valentinbouvard7798]

I disagree on where you put belle on the list: it's a really good handtrap into memento, negating the fusion is huge and it has applications against other decks such as labrynth, yubel and against runick stun it's not ideal but it can help. Also it helps against bystials on certain choke points if you're playing memento

[@smurfaccount282]

where would you put the new trap (dominus?) that stops a special i didnt see that mentioned and thats going into next format

[@andrew-guillen]

I don’t think he mentioned Spell Card: Soul Exchange. Tribute and you get to use your normal summon.

[@zariygo]

Ogre vs ritual beast is pretty strong by the fact you can hit canahawk or rampengu and basically remove 1 body from the field wich ritual beast really dislikes. Sadly it's not good vs shifter but after maining it for the last 3 weeks I feel ogre is in a pretty good spot.

[@polodoskyz]

what do we think about lancea for hindering ritual beasts / floowandereeze, since we are going to need to side handtraps against them anyway?

[@OlgaZuccati]

Man, I remember when I came back to the game in 2018 and the promise was that you open one handtrap and you're going to be fine most of the time. What the fuck happened that literally 3 cards in the entire game do anything to the best deck going second?
