"LOOOL.." | Six Samurai DECK TESTING (Rage of The Abyss)

[@Th3ranc0r]

The new support is cool but I am kinda bummed that their play style isn’t changing up from just gateway turbo. It really does just make for turns that are way too long

[@dylanwastaken5766]

I fear xsaber in same boat bc u can’t give em support that’ll help swarm without getting hand loop shenanigans

[@BlackBeartic229]

@@dylanwastaken5766 Yeah... Despite being an X-Saber fan I really would rather them not get support at all til they figure out how they're going to balance it. Easy option would be to ban gottems and then just go all out on the support but I feel like Konami WANTS gottems to be a part of the deck which is the problem

[@dylanwastaken5766]

@@BlackBeartic229 maybe a generaider route and let the opponent draw cards lol, or they can add a restriction to a main support card where u can only activate gottem once

[@BlackBeartic229]

@@dylanwastaken5766 Honestly? The former idea makes sense. I never understood why handlooping just perma rips like that. Most other card games have measures that don't make it as degenerate. So yeah i like the idea. But i'd say maybe make the draws at end phase because people will definitely figure out how to deck out your opponent otherwise.

[@TCGNistro]

if we get back invoker we could make boards without gateway

[@babrad]

This new Shi En is what Chixiao dreams to be. Answer to Nib and handtraps in general, search + negate on the same turn, once per copy for the negate and has protection for itself.

[@prideofjustice994]

+ You get a small bonus effect that can be an “auto-win” against certain decks if you use the new tuners as material

[@Darklord-Morningstar]

I've been playing the new support on Omega for about a week now as it updated earlier than EDO. Throughout my testing, I'm finding that the deck has a lot more success when played as more of a mid-range combo deck. Similar to sword soul. What I'm finding is if I try to go toward gateway first they are typically going to negate it and stop me from getting to it and then I've used too many resources to follow up but if I just focus on putting out a few synchros and great shogun backed up with non engine handtraps im still winning most of the games i play even without gateway

[@CaliburXL99]

Have u tried the six strike trap in your build or is it too situational since it requires u to remove a Bushido counter?

[@christopherroe664]

You can loop five with Omega & Emeral

[@vaonir9164]

You can loop ouroboros for 5 even. But thats not even close to the best thing you can do.

[@amethonys2798]

Worth noting the new Shien Synchro is also not HOPT on the monster negate

[@shadowdraqon2479]

That was a given

[@shadowdraqon2479]

The OG shi en and all of the negate monsters back in the day arent HOPT (Naturia beast/naturia barkion) (Evolzar laggia/evolzar dolkka) (Herald of perfection)

[@amethonys2798]

@shadowdraqon2479 and yet he almost never goes for multiple and instead goes for a redundant apo. Apo is most likely never getting more than one negate (especially on 3 mats) so a second shien is almost always better as it doesn't clog your EMZ and has protection. This deck can do literally anything in the game if it goes uninterrupted since it fosters infinite materials with Gateway yet we settle on a board that loses to a lot of board breakers every game. If anything you hold the Apo for opponent's turn to make with IP to have something worthwhile against a board breaker.

What's the point of the XYZ Shien? Just more Counters?

[@Lithium2300]

Correct

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Most people dont know

[@shadowdraqon2479]

The actual reason is becuz he can be revived off of gateway’s 3rd effect as a way to play thru nibiru

[@shadowdraqon2479]

The other reason is he makes it possible to get 4 monsters with different names on the field to make saryuja and get the draw 4 effect, if u dont have shadow shien in your extra deck u will have battle shogun/grandmaster/multiple kizans on field and u can make saryuja by treating battle shogun as a 2 link material but u wont get the draw 4 effect

[@Tintaaa]

Great video as always! Question: Why do you have 1 copy of The Six Samurai - Yariza? How does the direct attack help you?

[@Lithium2300]

Its a search target off of Acsetism.

[@potatoexe5410]

There is the new Vanilla monster support with Chamberlain existing for six sam. Since it is a lv3 earth nontuner it's also access to beast with the new lv2 tuner Also no gateway is at 1 in OCG. They limited it after the master rule change which freed the extra deck zone in anticipation for people doing extra deck loops plays

Just look the list is running pretty zero not engine is unplayable already the engine is to heavy and weak to hand traps

[@nicholasblutreich9544]

Correct me if I’m wrong but if they maxx c you now can’t you just set up negates for their hand traps and deck them out. (At least in the ocg)

[@mattr791]

Decking them under maxxc has been the alt wincon of 6sam since red blue was printed

Well you have to do that against ash, 3 veiler, 3 imper and nib

My brain was turning into a noodle from watching those combos. I love Six Sam, but sometimes I forget how mind melting their plays can be, almost as bad as Ritual Beasts.

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Its pretty simple, u loop kizans into battle shogun’s arrow pointed zones to get extra counters, then make saryuja draw 4 cards then search mizuho/shinai with gateway then summon both then do infinite red/blue combo. Now u have 9 trillion bushido counters which can handloop or ftk or set up 9000 negates

[@Dave2kool4skool]

Instructor and Yariza can make Naturia Beast so it might not be bad to have it in the extra deck

[@shadowdraqon2479]

8:00 six samurai can deck out the opponent if they drop maxx c even if the opp has a 9 trillion card main deck. This deck can summon infinitely. The only weakneses are going 2nd and imperm/veiler/droll/ghost ogre.

[@timbahr1792]

Wow… this is the first time where I fully with all my being disagree and loath a lithium gameplay video. Starting the video off saying the secret six samurai’s are bad is mind blowing when Kizaru is a net +3, and hatsume plays into braking your opponents board when losing the die roll. Plus your not playing legendary secret of the six samurai which is mandatory in the new build as it’s a free extention chain blocker that also turns ascetiscism on for both monk and instructor. Cunning of the six samurai is very good for ignoring the opponents Veiler, imperm HOWEVER using crossout is far superior because keeping the shogun on board always ends with a 3 material apollousa. Bro over here sleeping hard on kizaru which is nuts

[@Lithium2300]

Crossout forces you for handtraps. We’re in a format where decks like Yubel and Snake eyes play througj your 2-3 handtraps. Since Sams are a combo deck without solid 1 card starters, you can’t play many handtraps, so I go board breakers. I disagree also, most other sams aren’t that good and are not needed because the new ones accomplish the same.

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Kizaru is terrible. He is a shet version of stratos, search for a monster that isnt an attribute u already control on the field? Plus kizaru only gets his effect off when special summoned, stratos searches for any hero doesnt matter what the attribute is and gets his when normal or special summoned, if u play kizaru, u r dum.
