Hey Blake HERO, everyone here

[@Its109TheGamer]

Been struggling this format with HEROs. Maybe the 3 Evenly and bringing back Book of Eclipse is the way to go

[@BlakeHERO]

This has been how I have been finding my most recent success. Thank you for watching and commenting! Appreciate the support.

[@Zero-Heroes]

Wing Kuriboh Lv6: “I’ll be your Wingman.” Good video btw Blake

[@BlakeHERO]

I appreciate the support! Thank you for watching

[@tolis19]

I really like this list but tbh i just cant find it in my heart to play no handtraps.i mean my whole nonengine is 3 ash,3 imperm3 belle,2 talents,1 called by.

[@BlakeHERO]

Unless you draw 2 hand traps you are generally gambling on one hand trap stopping them (almost never the case) and the way you get to see 2 nonengine consistently is by playing 15. HERO unfortunately cannot play 15 hand traps and at most can play 12 so I do not think handtraps are good because you will probably hand loop yourself. By playing breakers you are ensuring that if you only draw 1 nonengine it will be as impactful as can be. I am also siding hand traps so just in case I play against an ftk deck I at least have (some) options, although low, to try to draw to beat it instead of a 0% chance I appreciate you watching, commenting, and sparking the discussion as well! (I also do not think belle is very good rn)

[@tolis19]

@@BlakeHERO yea that is completely fair.its just that from my experience every time I try to play little to no hand traps it doesn't end well for me. But maybe I will try a boardbreaker approach like yours.(Also I play belle because there are multiple lab players in my locals)

[@BlakeHERO]

@@tolis19 That makes sense! I just find the card does not have much coverage. As someone who has tested both versions of nonengine thoroughly, I think breakers are much better. Please share and subscribe!

​@@BlakeHERO Hey Blake! Love your videos and your input! I'm struggling with my deck being for going first or going second, what do you recommend I build it for? Do I side going 2nd cards and hope I win to go first, or do I make it a going 2nd deck, and side deck for going first if I lose? Obvioustly if making it a going second deck, you will ALWAYS go second as everyone chooses first, and if you win you choose second. Which one is better?

[@BlakeHERO]

@@CatGuy969 I think you should always look to go first in modern Yu-Gi-Oh. Getting to have the ability to place cards on the table before your opponent is something that can not be beat. I appreciate you commenting and sparking the discussion!

What would you replace triple tactics talents with in the main deck if you didn’t have it? Also Thankyou for the very cool videos I like to watch yours in my free time to make my deck better for locals

[@BlakeHERO]

I'm glad you are enjoying the videos! I think you could try a main deck like I used in my most recent video with 3x DRNM instead, sure it sucks going 1st but it's so powerful going 2nd.

[@jackcrockford6027]

have you always had the max rarity cards?

[@BlakeHERO]

Yes! I just picked up extras so I can play with some and have some still in the collection. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@ThatDashinKid]

Instead of Bagooska would it be worth running masked hero acid again for pesty back row decks

[@BlakeHERO]

Acid is tough because it only works on liquid soldier/abz, which requires you to already be playing, stratos + blast is much better to deal with backrow. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@ThatDashinKid]

@@BlakeHERO no problem man fellow hero player. Been on the deck since Isolde days

[@jclau77]

Hey Blake just want to follow up with the deck profile. I made some adjustments to the deck where I am testing new potential non engine cards that replace my extra mask change and winged kuriboh. Irl I am currently testing on subbing out the extra mask change which I subbed it out for the e-call with rivalry. I also want to keep winged kuriboh in the deck cause for one I don't have any room to move him to the side ans two he is an extra body and if it comes to it I do not mind running 43 cards I am also testing to see if Thrust will be a good addition by adding in 2 and taking out one talents. But my question here is, if i include thrust and go through with this change what cards should I side out? I found it made things slightly harder with these new cards. Perhaps I could take out the talents going 2nd and putting in some dark rulers as with thrust I can get easy access to those breakers and also the droplets. Appreciate the help with expanding out of the initial deck profile!

[@BlakeHERO]

Honestly, stay tuned for my list from the NAWCQ along with my experience. Going to try to upload this week before the EUWCQ. I think that video will answer a lot of your questions

[@jclau77]

@BlakeHERO Definitely will, this will be worth the wait! Thanks for keeping us updated Blake!

[@viktorserrano3386]

Hey Blake, nice video! You got the last pack magic 😂 Wanted to ask, why did u decided to cut off Impermanence? And what are your thoughts on Chaos Space to search Kuriboh/Plasma and use the gy effect to recycle malicious or something else? Thank you man 🤜🤛

[@BlakeHERO]

That’s actually really cool idea! I just think it’s not super necessary imo but it seems neat. Deck space is really tight and imperm just didn’t feel enough and I wanted to try some higher impact cards instead. Thank you for watching and enjoying the pack opening portion as well! Really appreciate the support brother!

[@awezomehero]

Id keep cosmic. I think its always good to have backrow removal (aside from using stratos)

[@BlakeHERO]

It's just not needed in my current siding patterns. I think I figured it out though! I appreciate the suggestion nevertheless

@@awezomehero Nah not for this build, the decks that nib was really good against are getting better options to force it earlier and earlier making it weaker

[@oscarespejel9195]

Hey Blake great video! What do you think about moving dark angel back to the main deck this format? Seems like more decks are cutting their link 1’s and could struggle playing around it. Also, how do you feel about Bagooska over SP little knight or another hero extra deck card? I’m having a hard time deciding which might be best for the NAWCQ.

[@BlakeHERO]

@@oscarespejel9195 I have not seen many people cut their link 1s but it can still work if you know what your matchups will be. Bagooska is just insurance against droll and shifter while SP just doesn’t do enough I don’t think. It being a warrior is very nice though. I am having the same issues planning for the NAWCQ because of how new the format is going to be to us. Thank you for watching and commenting and hope I helped you out a bit!

Hey. Curious what your thoughts are on thrust

[@BlakeHERO]

I love the card! Check out my first deck profile to get a better explanation! Bridges nonengine and engine together

[@GoldFalcon22]

@BlakeHERO Yea I've seen it! I'm just curious why you left it out this time, or what you'd replace for it from your current list?

[@BlakeHERO]

@@GoldFalcon22 Too many cards I want to play and not enough space. Maybe the two cosmic from this list could be thrust to give 8 ways to see DRNM/Evenly. Thank you for asking the question!

[@CymorgX]

Gotta question. What is your opinion on instead of lv6 running aqua dolphin in the main? You can get a second search of infernal which can also be a free discard for liquid solider. He can give you free hand knowledge along with ridding of a hand trap that could be there. Or any other key card. And aqua neos is a free alternative summon if you hard draw the miracle. It still is brick if drawn but it is a warrior so you can discard mali and make cross with him which still allows for you to make plays. I know it was a long winded explanation but I was just curious of your thoughts on it. Other than that I love the list! Keep it up!

[@BlakeHERO]

I like aqua dolphin, I think it's solid. Kuriboh just flows with the deck a lot better plus there are some cards you really do not want to pop in their hand (yubel). I have tested it a lot in the past though and I enjoyed it! I think now Kuriboh is out it will probably take a back seat tho. Thank you for asking!

[@CymorgX]

@@BlakeHERO I definitely don’t disagree with how nicely WK flows. And I almost forgot about yubel haha. My locals is all sneakeye and tempai so I haven’t actually run into yubel surprisingly enough. I really appreciate your input and you responding!

@@BlakeHERO I honestly didn’t realize I wasn’t subscribed before when I made my first comment but made sure to remedy that lol. And yeah I’m with ya on that extra disruption. I think I like him better as a side choice though because of inconsistency. Like he is a great going into time card not to mention adding dystopia to the mix for some free burn wins 💪. And gotta ask what would you take out to make it an even 40 if that’s even doable (the 40 or nothing is a hard mindset to break from)

@@aleleaguilera I missed out on topping the NAWCQ because I only played one, never ever again.

[@jclau77]

Interesting take for possibly changing my hero deck. I do have a question though, should you prioritize board breakers over hand traps? My current non engine has 6 board breakers and 6 handtraps. Both a set of Ash and imperms. I can take them out and sub them in for board breaking cards but let me know what you think. Also, with Fiendsmith coming out soon, do you think Heroes will struggle in the next meta?

[@BlakeHERO]

I really think that’s up to you, I find board breakers to be better “bang for your buck” cards as they are individually higher impact and can be good on the draw. Playing so little hand traps I find will cause you to hand loop yourself more than actually stop your opponent. I do like the mixture sometimes but as you said with the way fiendsmith is looking we may need to find breakers to beat it. I actually think going 1st our board got better into SE fiendsmith because they have to play less nonengine to fit more engine now. Thank you for watching and please subscribe and share!

[@jclau77]

@@BlakeHERO Yeah, I will try and use your deck at locals and on EDO and see how going board break over a balanced non engine. My deck is based off of TSX1 but I have made a few changes such as subbing in some extra polys for called by. Also you have earned a new subscriber!

[@jclau77]

Hey Blake, ive ran a few tests with the deck on EDO and it is doing alright for me but I have two questions regarding the side deck and possibly the non engine for main deck. For side, which cards would you suggest you would replace in regards to D-barrier? Ive played this with my current hero deck at locals yesterday and it legit saved my bacon more times than not as I mostly played against Branded and Tenpai. Secondly, would you consider slotting in Droll and D-shifter? I feel that is also an excellent board break/stun if you are going 2nd. Perhaps siding out the book of eclipses could be a possibility? But let me know what you think about this potential change!

[@BlakeHERO]

I think D-Barrier is solid and you could play it in place of the rivalry and 2 cosmics. I will be playing droll when INFO comes out to be able to beat fiendsmith decks a bit more reliably going 2nd. I do not like shifter in the deck because even when we go 2nd we still really need our GY to be able to play unless your deck is completely built to play under shifter which means you have to play more suboptimal cards. You could not play the ashes or the extra mask changes and play the drolls if you would like. Really tailor your deck for your local meta but I like ash against both branded and tenpai which you had mentioned. Ash can be like d barrier against them but if you want both I would suggest that.

[@jclau77]

@BlakeHERO Thanks for the response! I'll go ahead and sub in the cosmic's and rivalry for my d-barriers. Droll I think when the next format comes out I'll probably replace the eclipses for droll? We'll see though! I'm running 41 cards but I'm certain you can run up to 45 comfortably and that's pushing it

[@BlakeHERO]

@@jclau77 I would not main droll, I prefer side it for the specific matchups it is good against. Also eclipse helps dodge hand traps while droll will not

[@jclau77]

@@BlakeHERO Yes, you do have a point. I feel that when INFO comes out we hero players are due for another decklist. I'll run some more testing on EDO with your current list and see how it performs. As mentioned already, I will be taking this to the premiere of INFO and I will see how boardbreaking does over my balanced non-engine loadout. Perhaps for the next video, the side deck needs another makeover! Can't wait to see your take on post INFO Hero deck!

[@BlakeHERO]

No but for my recent list it could have been that instead of droll in the side!

[@timothyzeiler2902]

one mask change?

[@BlakeHERO]

Yes, depending on what you want to do with your build, if you want to fit the most nonengine possible you have to cut down on something and mask change is something very cuttable because it is not very good going 2nd. You can replace the other copies with books and these cards are good going 1st as well as going 2nd. I would side the other copies of mask change tho for certain matchups as well as when you know you are going 1st because it is the card in our arsenal that is best going 1st especially in a meta like we are now with the amount of hand traps going around. Thank you for watching and commenting!
