Ns air grab emergency, activate snake summon hydrant, hydrant eff grab preventer, summon linkuriboh then summon preventer banishing hydrant, then you can make SP with hydrant on board and emergency in hand to dodge imperm/veiler or use the linkuriboh and the preventer to make proxy f and use it plus the hydrant (off preventer) to summon mudragon. Both these lines play around imperm since you have turb in hand already. Second hand he could've linked off the hydrant for linkuriboh/anima, banished for preventer, summon either SP with hydrant or go for the aforementioned mudragon combo to leave preventer and hydrant in grave for the turb in hand. That was either a paid actor or someone literally just pressing buttons, no shot you pilot R-ACE that poorly.

I think Tistina is the prime example of a lack of Identity. You look at their cards, read them, and think the deck wants to go 2nd, but some of their cards don't promote that and the ones that do require too much setup alongside some of them not having synergy with each other very well. At least with decks like Ghoti, War Rock, and Myutant you knew what the decks wanted to do, but this one... I still scratch my head figuring that out.

[@SmashingPapaya]

To be fair, dont use the traps, apart from 1 Discordinence. Fallen and Returned are starters. Hounds and Sentinels are extenders - apart from Sentinel who is a starter if you have a fd card. and Demigod and Crystal God are the beatsticks.

[@Pihutihutihutijay]

it wants to go second, the trap disruption isn't particularly strong for going first anyway. With all the in archtype searching, you can play 1 or 2 of the situational traps to shut down your opponent if you can't otk, an event that is pretty likely since the deck's main beatsticks cap out at 2k. There are things that could have been done smoother, but the intended lines are pretty straight forward. even hound has a kind of place, securing the otk, if you have to deal with a monster that may float if simply removed from the field.

[@jacoposacchet1293]

The identity is literally going 2nd and summoning Divinity/Tainted + otking, but people are obsessed at building the deck as going 1st

[@johnnywilson3071]

I would've just given them all the summon from GY ignition effect. A boneless soul charge archetype with cool boss monsters at least sounds fun to play. I would've also swapped the levels on the water and fire so I can turn it into another Diabellestar pile.

Tistina is unironically one of the best TCG exclusives we've gotten in years. Just a weird deck that people are having a hard time figuring out, but it mixes with good cards a lot better than basically every other TCG exclusive we've gotten in the last 4 years besides like.. Gold Pride exclusively

Was so weird to learn how unsupported the Aqua type is. There is a lot of support for WATER but very little that can help non WATER aquas Also annoying that they made the fire tistina level two when we have level 1 fire support through diabellstar. Would have been better if water was level 2 and fire level one - but probably didnt want too easy to make Toad?

[@absolutelynot615]

Love the opening, he had an oven mitt, but was so angry at konami the pan was no longer hot.

[@Pihutihutihutijay]

The deck technically has a one card combo if baatistina's bonus effect is live. sending sentinal, and summoning crystal god at the same time, immediately turns on sentinal, who can pop itself to get whatever you need. If you can get away with that you might as well search tainted of tistina tribute something you flipped with the crystal god to summon it as a level 10. and set up for the themed OTK. I think this might be the best way to play Tistina, a small otk package when you burn through other disruption. While I'm not certain it might be worthwhile to use ken and gen to put a monster on your opponents field that can be flipped face down.

Hey, do you know how the guys on Tumblr are continuing the Greek Mythology by creating new gods like God of the UwU, God of the Basement Dwellers or God of the Terminally Onlines? Yeah, apparently Tistina is one of them.

[@ashikjaman1940]

Yu-Gi-Oh really is the sleeper agent of chronically online culture

[@Spoopmode]

Sentinal pops to search because it can pop itself, then reborn itself if you control a Light Tistina. That effect makes sense, even if it’s mildly gimmicky. Breath flips face down as searching any card for free would be ridiculously broken. In addition, it provides incentive for players to use the Light Tistinas so you can flip your opponents monsters and search, even if it’s not much. The field spell requiring face up cards also makes sense, as it’s supposed to be a “comeback” effect. Your opponent starts playing, and you’re a bit scared of their board? BOOM CRYSTAL GOD BITCH The XYZ should’ve been Crystal God on the field though.

[@jirachi4765]

There are a bunch of decks nowadays that just say add any card, directly or indirectly. Unchained got one, infernoble got one, purrely and tear have one sort of indirectly (w/ the black cat and foolish burial goods for sulliek or trivikarma)... It's just something that decks are allowed to have nowadays. The first interaction you describe is... just not minusing? How are you supposed to get out a light tistina before resolving sentinel? It would still be a comeback effect even if it worked on face-down - set 5 traps is scary ^^

[@animeknight99]

Great video

[@Aelith766]

I did play a Tistina 8-Axis mash-up list two times at locals and was actually quite positively surprised by its performance (3-1 and 3-2). This is definitely not a meta deck by any stretch but I think it can fill the role of a rogue deck.

[@golfclubninja]

The attack over face down monsters would make some semblance of sense if it kept them face down permanently like floodgate trap hole, just because it could lock a monster with a grave/destruction effect out of the game for many decks

[@Sokaras3]

I did try using small therion package and the new armored xyz. Seems to work though we dont have the armored xyz spell yet

[@salimasalima6742]

2:04 I use that effect of Breath of the Tistina along with the effect of the hound of Tistina to attack the opponent directly (If I have switched one of their monsters to face down defense).

Ive been running the deck sense it was announced and ive found so many cool tips on it that will blow your mind, diabellister effect pitch a card, ss self search the sin to send herself to ss the Evoltile Megachirella, use effect tribute self discard and ss the evolsaur lios, use on summon effect to set Evo-Singularity, afterwords use effect to send your copy of misc from deck to gy, use effect of misc ss Animadorned from deck, use effect pop lios search pill, link into linkuriboh then into gravity controller. Use pill ss ultimate conductor (banish animadorned and kuriboh) from deck and go right into tistina combo with whats left in your hand. Then at DP use trap set by lios go into evolzar lars for 2 negates. Your field will be uct and 2 negates plus your tistinas. All this off of one diabellistar btw

[@ShrankTheFirst]

I tried to play a Tistina/Kashtira go 2nd deck after the first wave. It could have done okay (the Kashtira were meant to bait most of the interraction, before going in for an OTK with the Tistina line which, yes, relied on the Hound). HOWEVER Where it fell apart was that to OTK, I needed my opponent to have 3 face-up cards. And. They. Never. Did. So now I'll try playing it using Black Garden to force them to have face-up tokens on their field during my setup. ... Once I'm done playing every other deck.

Attack directly does have some synergy with flipping opponent's face down because that way you can keep pressure without flipping them back... Except of course that, unlike Ninjas, this Deck doesn't flip permanently, so the obly benefit is maybe OTK with the Xyz... that nukes all face-down cards on Summon

[@aeugh8998]

Truly peak of Konami design, Pisstina

[@grodon909]

I've been testing out Tistina the past couple days. It's really bad if you don't get into a combo, but if you do (say, playing with lower power decks, or pack something to help with that) it can potentially steal wins. That said, I don't think this is the correct build strategy for the deck. I run it as blind second, and use the concept MBT mentioned in the Watt video of just simplifying the board by running Kaijus. Usually if there is a problem monster that can't be flipped or sent, a kaiju will handle it, and then you can play against your kaiju. Running it as a going second deck eliminates a LOT of issues. You can flip it with whatever, then tribute it for the dark tistina, which is a level 10. You can usually go into the field spell running x3 +x3 of the searcher, so you have crystal god. The both of those are 8000 damage if you get to battle phase. Returned gets you to a level 10 as well, but only 4000 on its own. Dog lets you ignore any on destruction effects and just swing for game. In a pinch, use the trains to burn for 2k and swing for 6000. No idea why he's not playing the reborn as an extender. It folds very easily to non-destruction removal, but I think it at least plays better than this build which does a lot less.
