This is exactly the kind of edison content I’ve been wanting. Insight on what you sided was also super dope!!

[@E3YuGiOh]

glad u enjoyed more to come

[@josephs.4813]

I love the long form discussion vids man. Thank you for the content!

[@E3YuGiOh]

Cheers bro!

[@IcebergOG]

Top tier content, always nice to see some high level Fairy gameplay. The sideboard screenshot is a clean addition, definitely helps with conceptualizing the strategy for games 2 and 3. I think for Hero Beat you don't need the extra slots in board. Sirocco could just be replaced with cards that were swapped from the main like Oppression or Mirror, but I get that you're testing new stuff which is dope. Keep up the quality bro

[@E3YuGiOh]

Sirocco will come up more in tomorrow's installation hopefully

[@stefanhuber7357]

I played 2 legacy in my fairies at the PS5 tourney. It was really nice seeing it frequently. It was an amazing bluff set for heavy AND gain a little advantage at a later turn that you need.

Keep em coming I love this series idea.

[@E3YuGiOh]

It'll b like this thru Nats most likely

[@meathir4921]

I tried one of your Fairy lists and I definitely agree Sirocco is a bad side card for it. You already have enough normal summon threats with Warrior Lady and the floaters; feels like something like Pulling the Rug or more Shadow Imps for other matchups are more important. I’m not really too scared of Hero Beat as a MU because you can usually put value them over a long game as long as you have a plan for Future Fusion.

Love the competetive content! This is hype

[@JuanGonzalezZzZzZz...]

Keegan. I have a question but it is also a pedge: Would you put your Decklists in alphabetical order so me and some people could visualize better the deck? There are players who visualize a deck in alphabetical order for more than 15 years. I would appreciate if you could do thatm I am surely not alone on that. It also helps us to glance quicker to cards we would be missing (and need to buy) when we see the decklist. Thanks and luv.

[@OutbackYGO]

really sweet insights! Btw thoughts on 1 proto cydra? I wasnt sure if its a meme or not and have been trying to test it but im genuinely not confident that there will be much machina post round 3 at nats and you're going to want the cydra more for herobeat.

[@E3YuGiOh]

proto cyber is a narrow card for machina but it's maybe worth it if i expect a lot of machina (i dont)

[@DexproziusMD]

Did you miss the Cyber Valley? I find it really powerful with both brain and mind in the game + it fuels return and is easily pulled via shining angel

[@E3YuGiOh]

i didnt feel it in these 2 matches, but i havent played enough volume without it yet.

[@tylerkehrmann]

Just wondering what your take on a tech asura priest in fairies would be. I personally like the interaction with honest with it.

[@E3YuGiOh]

Asura priest is more of a "build around" than a tech. He needs the right support to fully function

[@RyanAtlus]

You'd get creamed in the mirror because of Legacy draw 2 ;)

[@weedhigh2564]

tested and discarded this idea right when i first picked fairies up, much like gellenduo, it looks good on paper and in concept but in practice is just meh, if one had a way to be certain to have it when needed, along with Honest ofc, it would be different but as things stand, its way to gimmicky to go for a one off and hope it works but going for 3 needs you to really build around the card more than just putting in the 3 Asuras and calling it a day so additional spots in the deck become a necessity which dilutes the power of the deck. Those are just my opinions and i could be wrong, from what i tested fairies i dont think i am tho

[@bennylopez8128]

How do you stop the viruses? You should test purple light, just as an advice

[@E3YuGiOh]

Hopefully tomorrow video will showcase how I win through virus

[@bennylopez8128]

@@E3YuGiOh let's goo! I hate auto win buttons like those in Edison, specially with fairies (which I play'em bc of you and Karpath) that is a very monster focused strategy and purple light has been useful for me to counteract those cards

[@arjunant9930]

Why is the deck called Hero beat? Where does the beat come from?

[@marciamakesmusic]

All the high attack normal summons and honest

[@yoshortyb]

I think Legacy's/Jar of Greed/Upstart/maybe even Reckless Green are severely underused in Edison. Goat format uses these quite frequently to effectively run more copies of OP cards and get them faster(Trinity pieces/Serpents/BLS/Sorc). I also think chainable backrow allows is super underutilized for free +1s in this format with MST/Heavy/Icarus/Cauis/Black Rose/Breakers and a million other ways to blow up backrow. I'm curious to see if it picks up steam.

[@junkmail9299]

What's the best way for Fairy's to beat Frogs?

[@E3YuGiOh]

There are a couple of approaches you could take. Historically I've just used a ton of mask of restrict, but then u have to slog thru 2k defenders and potential synchro plays. Still working out what I want to do specifically in that matchup

Good question

[@soundwave9560]

@@LorcaLoca but it's slow compared to upstart, and does the same thing as jar of greed. like has anyone in the history of yugioh even used the draw 2 effect because the opponent had a spirit?

@@LorcaLoca *opponent summons inaba white rabbit u flip legacy and they flip the table*

[@drianna75]

​@@soundwave9560 Technically you can get the draw 2 against frogs which can play Dark Dust Spirit. But yeah most of the time it's going to be the same as a Jar, which isn't bad in this format. It's great bait for all backrow hate which can be easy +1 material, as we saw here it's also interesting paired with Gorz, it scares the opponent because they see one additionnal backrow and they'll start playing accordingly, and it doesn't give LP like Upstart Goblin does, which can actually matter in Edison. I don't know if it's gonna stay in the long run, but there are at least reasons to playing it.
