[@claudio6391]

I feel like people are forgetting a lot of the tools making the deck strong are things that It already had. Soulpiecer searches non-once per turn, the soul cards are individually strong by being either free summons or summons from deck, Wagon searches said soul cards, scales is a reborn. The new support is quite crazy, but its mostly just consistent boost to what was already there.

So they made the theme into a board-establishing engine. This was already one of the more unique archetypes in the game's life. ATK in DEF and Monster Mash. Generically strong boss cards should not be designed stronger than in-archetype ones is the lesson from this. And if they are that good at being an omni, sometimes multiple, they're bannably good.

We get that when an archetype debuts and then they turbocharge it into extra deck combo on the legacy support.

Ah yes because every single meta deck does exactly the same, definitely Purrely doesn't have a completely unique gameplan based on ranking up into a rank 7 towers by using quick-play spells and a bunch of level 1s. Kashtira definitely wasn't extremely unique being the first zone lock strat to be meta, Labrynth doesn't have a completely unique gameplan based on using NORMAL TRAPS to interrupt the opponent, set a resource loop and drown the opponent in advantage, while rarely using an actual negate. Ofc no! All Yugioh meta decks are exactly the same and they have no uniqueness or fun gimmicks whatsoever

I was playing a combo type of list even before the support, the machine ed i.e gigant x, genius, ballista are all insane cards and are what make machines what they are. The support just made it a lot more efficient at accessing those extra deck cards. I know people played the one note otk big boy version, i was never a fan of it and was always trying to play a combo version of this deck and i am happy to see this support.

[@homerman76]

I think people just forget that there isn't just one gimmick to the deck, as SHS has always also been big being at their strongest when you avoid having spells/traps in the grave, leading to a monster only deck generally. Now if they had printed out some spells/traps to use in the deck that don't banish themselves, then it would be Konami strangling the deck's identity as people are claiming (though it does make me sad that the main gimmick of attacking in defense is more of a side note at best.)

After playing around with SHS for a while now, I will say this deck is really good. The biggest problem with this video was the lack of engine played. All 1-ofs with a ton of hand traps that ended up weakening your consistency by a ton. Modifying the extra deck as well allows you to play into more boards and end on a stronger turn 1, while having more engine allows you to play through hand traps very easily. Searching is great in this deck, but with more soul peacemakers and Scales then you should still be able to set up 1-2 interruptions not including hand traps after droll.

Bruh everybody's sleeping on the synchro monsters. Also man, if only MBT had more engine. If only there were more Superheavy monsters. Damn, that's crazy. It's almost as if there's a benefit to playing more Superheavies.

[@DrAiPatch]

You either die as unplayable or live long enough to become meta.😢

[@blackknight1168]

As a superheavy samurai stan, your attempts at the heavy strong style are appreciated. However, due to treating the archetype as just a turbo for baronne and Apollo will be discredited as using SHS combo cards for this purpose is like running red-eyes dark dragoon in your typical deck that has dragoon as an extension and calling it a red eyes deck.

MY FIRST DUEL LINKS DECK! (That was actually decent)

New SHS support pied piper is so enchanted, even the baronne horse follows the steam train

[@AcroxShadow]

It's such a shame that this is how SHS finally makes its heavystrong appearance. Yet another example of the eternal issues created by overpowered generic boss monsters, and mediocre archetypal ones. That said, the situation isn't quite as dire as it might first appear. Sarutobi is still a nice card going first in some matchups, and you can still use their own bosses to end the game afterward. Monk Benkei's monster effect is pretty solid to give a Level 8 body and gives you a reason to play original Benkei, so playing an extra copy of him isn't bad. Going second the original strategy is better than ever with the new cards. The locks usually don't matter at all in this scenario, so you're free to use stuff you otherwise wouldn't, like Wakaushi's monster effect to summon a guy from deck, Thief is a free body that can remove and steal spells/traps/scales, Trumpeter's a free Tuner, Battleball is a Level 2 Tuner that can make synchros using the opponent's monsters in tandem with Jizukiru (searchable with Qliphort Genius). Stealthy and Susanowo's quick-effect spell/trap grave robbing might come up, as can Steam Train King's quick-effect mass spell/trap GY banish (particularly effective against Runick to stop them shuffling back and drawing), so keep them in mind too. Experiment and have fun with them while you can. There's a lot of space to work with, in Main, Extra AND Side, so try stuff out.

Did you just gloss right over that Santa Claws in Game 4?

Ah, yes. A monster only deck. I love it.

The intro is perfect, and a prime example of the big problem with Yugioh's complete lack of deckbuilding restriction beyond the banlist

Me, playing the same SHS deck since 2016. Like hell I'm going to play SHS just to make appo and baronne, that's what my speedroid deck is for!

[@cellsdup7748]

I think the synchro cat version is better, but good vid ty

[@Populon993]

When this comes to Master Duel I'll happily ignore this toolbox aspect and try to build a blind 2nd unga bunga "big metal man punch" deck that's a bit more consistent than before, like it's supposed to be.

[@Ashendal]

Same. I'm already running it as either Battleball into Train+Horns OTK if they bricked or the more grindy version with Ogre to clear backrow and Beast/Benkei to clean up monsters, so the new support is just going to make that easier to do.

[@PiePie453]

OLD YGOPRODECK INTRO SPOTTED

[@UshiUshiKakuThe2nd]

@14:53 This is not entirely true; OCG players were siding ASF, which is rarely going to end up in the GY.

[@MrTAG-re5ym]

We taught these Samurai how to link summon

[@mateusrp1994]

I'm gonna be honest, everyone whining that Konami made the deck lose its identity looks silly to me. The deck is even more capable of doing its old plays and ending on big guys attacking in defense position. Only a single oversight made this monstrosity of old Earth Machine enablers and generic negates possible, Wakaushi's archetype lock not being on the Pendulum Scale effect as well. Hell, they were halfway there, it DOES have an archetype lock, it just doesn't have enough of them.

[@slayerbane8941]

Personally I enjoyed Superheavy when it wasn't meta cause for me it fun when used Battleball to Synchro with a Jizukiru into Steam Train King.

[@RisingJericho]

...wait, how will someone who's been frozen since Zexal know what Apallousa and Baronne are?
