'Normal Summon Ash for Game' is a turn of phrase I'd never thought I hear.

[@DerAstrophysikerr]

I'd also add another con: the deck struggles against backrow heavy decks. Your negation is very much focused on monster effects, and while there are ways to play around and through backrow, it's generally a bit more difficult.

[@rhysjonsmusic]

We found the altergeist player

[@Jakc_Tk]

That kind of sounds like most meta these days

[@chiefgaming7692]

this list that he's personally playing doesn't seem that way? it has multiple ways to interact with the backrow. the enforcer popping backrow, so if this deck goes first they're popping 2-3 backrow before you would use them. so... I don't think backrow is just a straight up con... because negation in general isn't the sole focus of the deck. the deck sets up like 2-3 monster negates with around 2 pops for your turn. just my personal take on the matchup.

[@Big1nz]

@@chiefgaming7692 I mean how are you gona leave out going first against a backrow deck? It's gona struggle. It's just how the deck works.

[@chiefgaming7692]

@@Big1nz I mean the deck plays a fair amount of back row hate in the main, and in the side. I’d easily say it’s reasonable to believe that after drawing 6 cards you could see a lightning storm, or you could see a harpies. I’ve been playing the deck since torn scales came out and have never struggled against a back row deck

So I'm a filthy casual and know nothing about meta or even basic current yugioh, but I love PKs and this looks like an amazing deck to learn. Where can I go to learn more about how the game is now?

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

Dzeeff's "why nobody plays" series tends to up you from casual to understanding how meta players think. From there watching people like Box Box's side deck/hand trap list series gives you a good idea of what cards are the chokepoints in any given deck. But overall just watching a bunch of matches/replays with the deck you like and practicing with it should get you far.

[@jamismiscreant7514]

As far as finding replays of good players dbgrinder has a large amount of modern meta games to browse though playing lots is one of the best ways to improve

[@jamismiscreant7514]

Also playing more meta decks than only the deck you intend to main is a good way to learn how they work

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

@@jamismiscreant7514 I always found playing control or watching control players works really well. The majority of their play revolves around understanding their opponent's deck better than the opponent. You also don't have as much to focus on as a control player. Altergeist/Guru/Amazement/Traptrix only really make their big plays/combo after they have crushed the opponent and want to clean up.

[@martinrios3546]

The Phantom Knights Facebook group is a really good place

[@A.C_B.]

The thing is, even vs decks that don't care about the extra deck you can still reliably set up multiple fog blades and pops. It might be worth to include some cards in the sideboard to get rid of the scythe combo in game 2-3

Been wondering why I haven't seen PK. It's been a tier 2 deck ever since Bardiche came back but like, nobody played it. The Xyz focused version set up like 4 negates and otked without breaking a sweat but I guess people don't like scooping to nibiru.

[@lucaslennan3356]

@@eleonarcrimson858 Certain trap variants were pretty good that format. Torriential fog blade was good enough to beat VW going second and you won a lot of games from consistency over it.

[@ruru0770]

Question: if I forbidden chalice/impermanence Artifact Scythe, do I negate the anti special summon portion of its effect? And, is that part of its effect lingering? Does it stay active if scythe leaves the field but wasn't negated?

[@consoleman94]

Scythe's effect is a trigger effect, which means it has to actually resolve for it to happen. If you imperm or chalice it on activation, it negates it, and you're able to summon from the ED no problem. Also yes, its effect is lingering. Even if you get rid of Scythe after its effect activate, you still wouldn't be able to special summon from the ED.
