Salamangreats - NAWCQ 2019 Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Profile

This Format was way better than last years. 4 top decks with some good amount of rogue. NAWCQ didn't have that many rogue but other Ones had awesome surprising rogue deck and one of the rogue Altergiest made it 1st place at German Nationals. It's not perfect and never please everyone but it's better than dealing with Extra Link, Gumblar Hand Loop, or Danger Darkworld FTK Solitare Yugioh which it's not supposed to be. The future looks pretty good at least for now.

Integrating a whole Salamangreat deck in your Altergeist list was a pretty spicy tech choice but it looks like it ultimately paid off! Jokes aside though, 2019 has been a fantastic year for Yugioh, and with your content in my subscription box I was assured to have fun playing. Watching your stuff has taught me a lot, man. I was able to get 4 regional tops ever since I started watching you!! That's actually crazy because in the 3 years between my beginning and starting to watch you I only managed to get two... Here's to an other great year, (hopefully) and good luck in your future events, Doug!

[@nocontextlovelive9871]

This was my first NAWCQ and it was a lot of fun (despite the fact I did horribly) , it was great meeting you and all the other yugitubers I saw. Thanks again for signing my spheal card and mat

I very much care about your deck names. If you abandoned consistency in the pursuit of puns I would like every video.

[@that_aint_it_kev9958]

I was walking by at the NWCQ and saw you playing. You seem to be really good with the deck and it looked like you were having fun with it. Glad you got invite for 2020. Oh and thanks for signing my Exodia Leg 🤙🤙🤙

[@phillip2k6]

Congrats on getting your invite! I was definitely rooting for you after you took me out (the Trickstar player). Hope to see you at some events this year!

[@anthonypeluso3775]

Honestly you should try cutting the debug. As you said its a handtrap magnet. You can play more consistency cards and then you can't open hands of foxy/debug. The first place dragon dueliest winner played salad no dbug

[@theonethathungers5552]

Anthony Peluso At the same time, you have to Remeber dragon duellists are still kids. Yes, they are competitive, but in comparison to the normal competive section, you gotta go with the older players. Also, even if it is a handtrap magnet, you still play them. Isolde? I think you mean handtrap magnet. But people still play it because it’s worth the risk

What sleeves are you using nowadays? I'm trying to pick some and I can't find a good consensus on the best sleeves or best sleeves for the price, but yours look simple and clean. Sorry if this has been asked on other deck profiles before.

[@VideoGameManiac8]

What do you think about the future of yugioh? Do you like the way its going forward? Do you still feel exicited about Yugioh just like you felt years ago?

[@FlergerBergitydersh]

Tofu Salad would clearly be the Mokey Mokey Salamangreat strategy we've all been waiting for.

[@alexhartline9220]

Dzeeff! I cannot see the text on the card because its holographic, and you mumble the names of the cards and use abbreviations. I'm just getting back in to the game, so I don't know what a violet chimera or starving venom is, and there's different versions of those cards? I'm sure the competitive players know exactly what the cards are by the shorthand name and the picture, but I can't tell because I'm just restarting.

[@alexhartline9220]

It wouldn't take that much more time to call dweller 'abyss dweller' or such and it'd be easier for your audience to understand you. But! I hope you get some rest after such a long day

[@zedlyfier7617]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm not really sure where to ask this, but if a Hard Once per Turn is negated, can I use another copy of the same card? Like Predaplant Ophyrs Scorpio (I like Predaplants, sue me), if my opponent negated its summon with Solemn Warning, but then I revive Scorpio with another card, can I still use its effect? Does the ruling change for Spells/Traps? Like if Frightfur Patchwork is negated but I have another in my hand, can I activate it or is it already considered "used"? Again, sorry if this is a stupid question.

[@Dzeeff]

It's not a stupid question :) it is, however, a long answer, so check out this video I made about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipKnnnVjft2GjJY

[@tyler8392]

Is it more important to get out dweller turn one or set the rage?

[@proghostbusters1627]

7:32 Actually playing 41 cards hurts the ability of opening any card by about 1% compared to 40 cards so it isnt as important as people seem to think, on the othe hand, playing 3 twins gives about a 10% more chance of opening them compared to 2 twin (in this context "opening" and "drawing" mean about the same thing). Great list nevertheless.

[@theonethathungers5552]

Actually, it’s only a 2% increase of chance if you play 3 twisters instead of 2.

[@proghostbusters1627]

@@theonethathungers5552 Farfa has done a video on that. It's about 10%. You can check it for yourself using a hypergeometric calculator

[@Dzeeff]

I refused to play more than 40 because while I'm aware it's only a 2% difference, if I ever lost a game to not drawing a hand trap then all I'd think about is how I would have had it if I played 1 less card

[@julioaldair3772]

Cut lady debug. I mean, if you have Cynet mining , then you have the most significant synergy with the deck. Don't get me wrong , lady his a good searcher , but i feel that mining is more accurate with the salamangreat strategy

[@skippernolen5644]

I feel you on that one, buddy. Salads are just one of those decks that can actually benefit from a seemingly steep discard cost. I even cut my own copy, but for a different reason, which is the banlist. I would still run Debug if she was at three, but I rarely draw her if I do, so I dropped her in favor of actual good cards (but I'm considering dropping the deck entirely because I don't wanna buy Mining, regardless of budget). All things considered, she's just not good anymore if she's not at least run at two.

[@justarandomgamer6058]

You have a point but I don't really agree

[@Harmonic14]

There's no reason not to play Debug. Hell, some people are cutting Mining to 2 and still playing Debug. The advantage it gains you is worth the risk.

[@Luminousplayer]

remember when dzeeff said mystic mine wouldnt be seen that much? D: ( this is not a sassy comment)

[@Dzeeff]

Yeah, I think a lot of people (myself included) were too focused on Mystic Mine Burn that we didn't see it being played in already meta decks

[@___i3ambi126]

Why arent people playing fusion of fire? Id assume it's because most of the times you can otk with it you can either otk another way or just drown you opponent in resources instead without the possibility of overextending... But want to check.

[@justinm3493]

Most of the times you can just build a field and otk without it, it takes up 1 extra spot in the extra deck and 1 in the main deck. If you are a budget player it's fine, but if you have money and all the options it's not worth it

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

You are highly unlikely to pull that many from the box. It was super short-printed and not many are in cases. Always buy singles if you want a specific expensive card.

[@TYSDan]

Wait for a reprint if you’re not playing competitively the price is not justified at all. It’s rumoured to be a promo in the tins but I’m unsure. Alternatively, the competitive season is over now so you might be able to grab a bargain, but be prepared to spend three figures

[@theonethathungers5552]

Daniel Williams Doesn’t matter if you play competitely or not, the price won’t change for the same card

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

@@theonethathungers5552 If you are not going to tournaments there is no major rush to get the card. It would be better to wait a month or 2 to get the card down to >$30 if you are just playing at locals than spending $300ish. But if you are going to big tournaments then the card will give you a competitive edge and would be worth a higher price to have it sooner. It is a matter of urgency for the price not the actual fluctuation.
