Sky Striker Annihilates The "New Meta" In 1 Turn (Master 1 Deck): Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

[@frozenbyicebeam]

Welp...turned out the best "support" this month is Engage back to 3 and alt art Raye, Camellia is pretty neat tho. Cyanos, well, ill wait for it to be good (could be a long time) Cards that i rotated around to test that wasnt included in the final decklist: - Cosmic Cyclone: Kinda funny using this on opponent's Fire King Island but sometimes i do wanna keep a number of monsters on their field to steal and it feels very bad when they have more than 1 set backrows so i would rather have more Lightning Storms instead - Forbidden Droplet: Nice option honestly, took it out for more Mind Control tho cuz im just going all in OTK - Raigeki: Good card to not clear the board but to trigger opponent's interactions so u can thrust/talent early, not too bad but doesnt feel great in this build simply becuz in some certain situations i prefer stealing the monsters instead (against the meta decks when the monsters come back to the field it should still be fine tho) -More Linkage: This card always feel bad drawing multiples, in this build, 2 random monsters make a camellia so most of the time u dont have consistency issue so i opted to keep only 1 Linkage, this applies to ROTA as well OVERALL Quite a risky build and u have to go all in when u get Maxx C-ed, a safer approach would be soul release/evenly build to try to play the electrician game with handtraps If i missed anything, feel free to ask in the comment! Thanks for watching!

[@SSA-X002]

Never tried a build like this but I had in mind creating a list with all spells being live in my hand, this implies not running multiple once per turn cards. I’ll need to dig to find out if there are enough of them that are actually good.

[@haiqalmuntadzar2067]

@frozenbyicebeam first of all nice vid man, does this build do well against unaffected mosnter such as purrly, ignister etc

[@frozenbyicebeam]

@@haiqalmuntadzar2067 those decks arent really common rn but u can see in the decklist theres 1 herald of the abyss cuz i still respect purrely quite a bit so with 3 copies of thrust + 1 herald, chance of u having access to the out is just as rare as running into one of those decks in high ranks

[@AljoschaW1993]

Can you make a safe List too ?

[@frozenbyicebeam]

@AljoschaW1993 sure, but it wont be until another season cuz im done with climbing on this account, playing at the riskfree M1 rank doesnt seem that good cuz my opponents just play whatever there thanks to the fact that they cant rank down --> not a good environment to test out ur deck

[@mamamia5905]

That first game was so satisfying to watch. They tried absolutely everything to stop you from playing the game and you just kept going. I loved it.

[@frozenbyicebeam]

Indeed! I think tear is actually a harder matchup for the deck than fire king due to the shufflers and snow constantly being in the GY so i normally have harder time against those.

[@frozenbyicebeam]

@@yes3293 its not strictly in any particular order but it depends on what ur opponents do and u react to them accordingly, this requires understanding of what deck ur opponent is piloting, so its pretty tough to have a clear line, what u need to pay attention to is that against fire king there r usually known interuptions like princess, kirin, linkuriboh, sky burn, amblowhale u need to keep track of, and the reason for me saying it has no order is that the opponent can trigger whatever he feels like that leads to the same result (for example destroying ur card with princess/kirin but they can do either of them first and then u would have to evaluate the situation and play ur cards accordingly). Not even to mention if they maxx c-ed ull have to think of the potential effect veiler and such, its an enormous amount of things to keep track off, thats why it makes this matchup fun imo, no clear line, just reactive

Also having board breakers and trying to break the board or otk instead gives me adrenaline rush lol.

[@Aletheia-vs2ou]

That first game was insane. Also love the FF7 soundtrack in the fourth replay. Your 100% focus on the board breakers makes me wonder, how would you play this deck in the TCG? (bo3 format) Would you go for 100% board breakers with handtraps on the side deck? Would you play full handtraps and a couple of Thrust targets + a few brakers on the side? Or perhaps a mix of both?

[@frozenbyicebeam]

I dont play TCG a lot but u definitely need handtraps in the side as u said, and stuffs lile dbarrier, threatening roar could also work

[@Aletheia-vs2ou]

@@frozenbyicebeam I agree. I'm trying a mix between handtraps and boardbreakers in the main deck but I feel like when I open 1 handtrap (sometimes even two) it doesn't help enough and it evens triggers Talent if they have it, with almost no payout at all. So I'm considering going all in with the boardbreakers, though if I'm forced to go first... I'm cooked.

[@KryueII]

One of the main reasons I love sky striker. It’s a very unforgiving deck that goes both ways. You can’t just yes click and spam every interruption you have against it, but you also can’t misplay when playing the deck or else your performance plummets. It forces your opponent to actually use their brain if they wanna win, also allows you as the pilot to break pretty much any board in the game so long as you play it correctly. One of the only decks in the game that actually requires thinking from both players unfortunately.

[@SSA-X002]

First game was absolutely beautiful 🔥 . Btw I aborted the adventurer idea, max c ruins every fun variation besides a single thrust does more than the entire engine 😢 oh well back to pure😂

[@ethan-lq1xg]

Great video! Im about to invest in a Sky Striker deck, and your version seems so alluring though it needs a lot of URs. I’m wondering what’s your experience with the “common” builds with handtraps and stuff. Which version do you find it’s better or more consistent?

[@frozenbyicebeam]

I use the handtrap versions if the format is horrible for boardbreakers which its not rn and using breakers r more satisfying to me so if i could run them and climb then i would In this meta i really hate the fact that aside from maxx C the other handtraps u always have to draw 2 of them to have a chance st stopping the meta decks cuz they always play through 1 easily and some even plays through 2 which is a bit irritating for my taste. If ur new i absolutely suggest that u should use handtraps cuz they r mostly staples that u need to craft for other decks anyway, the breakers arent the same unfortunately. But for this account i only play sky striker on so theres no shortage of resources, i have all the handtraps and the boardbreakers at 3x each myself so i could try everything

[@ethan-lq1xg]

@@frozenbyicebeam that makes perfect sense, thanks a lot for elaborating 🙏! I’ll probably invest slowly and over time in the deck

[@makenaiyomi1083]

That's definitely a wild list XD I'm currently a bit frustrated over the meta. Couldn't reach Master with Sky Strikers. I'm having so much trouble with Snake Eyes and Fire Kings. (also Tear/Horus to an extent) I have a grind game build but their recources seem endless... Even with a good hand and play I can't seem to win. Maybe I go for the board breaker list but hand traps feel more safe to me.

[@calamelli209]

Fantastic build, I might have to try this out myself. What do you think about Enemy Controller as an option for this deck, either as a cheaper alternative to crafting Mind Control or used alongside it for extra stealing cards? It can steal monsters, isn't once per turn, and has the secondary benefit of being able to tribute Kagari so she dodges Imperm/Veiler.

[@frozenbyicebeam]

Ah yes, i did try e-con, its definitely a usable cheap option and dodging imperm is nice indeed, but it is still a 2 for 1 after all and if it gets negated it feels really bad, and u have to have a monster on the field first so it limits the flexibility of the plays and force a specific order, mind con can force an interuption immediately and allows u to bait out negate sooner so u can resolve ur better cards is definitely nicer, a small example would be if u have raye and mind con in ur hand against a negate, its certainly better than raye and econ right? Good call on the budget part tho cuz mind con is not a staple in anyway and spending UR crafting hurts for ppl who dont use it often, not a bad alternative if ur low on CP

Would you make a SS guide? Your videos and gameplay make me want to learn the deck. I am not a huge control deck fan but SS looked like it can do serious damage with a dedicated pilot.

[@frozenbyicebeam]

Hmm its unlikely cuz my mic is really crap rn and youtube is just a hobby so i dont post many vids, hence no good mic yet. And also, sky striker with board breakers is a reactive deck, u dont follow stiff lines, u play depends on how opponents react to each of ur card as they go and the u make decisions accordingly. There r some tricks in the deck for sure but im quite certain any sky striker veterans should have at least a half decent guide for it already, not much to add :D

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

I'll try Autonomous Action Unit when I'm on a build where running Hidden Armory is useful(i.e. if Snatch Steal gets unbanned), Could be interesting in something like a Mikanko/Infernoble Pile right now though. I find Cyanos' GY effect to be pretty useful already, the Machine Lock from its Special Summon effect can be annoying, but I haven't found myself relying on S:P or Accesscode too often early in turns, and can usually get them out without it if I need to actually go into those things(using it as an emergency extender if those plays get interrupted). Setting up Azalea Temprance or Amblowhale backed by Eagle Booster usually works fine for grindier games and for going first when you can't get to Shizuku + Multirole though, would be nice to have a Link-3 or 4 Machine with some OFFENSIVE potential though(S.P.E.C.T.R.A. is just BARELY better than Orcustrion, enough so to make it actually worth running in Orcust but not in many other builds besides maybe Rescue-ACE where they can recoup banished spells on a dime).

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

You CAN still go for the grind game, but you'd probably have to run a "going first" build on hand traps or Thrust Trap targets to punish hand traps(stuff that lets you take advantage of getting stuck on Camellia/Temperance/Amblowhale), Eagle Booster for surviving through backrow wipes, and some combination of Pot of Avarice and Hercules Base to recoup all the one of monsters being played(or draw cards if you can make/steal a big bungus). Backrow decks are the only potential annoyance I've found in that regard since your main answers to backrow are stuff like S:P, H.A.M.P. crashing and REALLY slow board wipes(I refuse to play multiples of a HOPT card like LS that can't even do anything if you control a face-up, especially one that the opponent probably stuffed onto your field(even the Vaylantz fields stuff it), Evenly Matched also often feels terrible for similar reasons but at least can be spammed more easily). Accesscode is too easily stuffed by a Veiler, removal trap or sometimes even Nibiru for me to consider it reliable backrow coverage either. Engage Zero is Linkage support, if you don't run 3 Linkage you probably don't want to run it. The only time the board wipe probably matters is under Skill Drain, and you still need to pair it with Droplet to pull that off, which is not a great option for monster theft OTK for obvious reasons(you need things to have ATK so you can beat them to death with their own obnoxious boards).

I didn't get the hype behind Sky Striker until the Link/Synchro event. I copied someone's build because I didn't have a synchro deck at the time, and I absolutely fell in love with the deck.

As for the grind game build, since i never play the same decklists each month, ull likely get one next month..maybe And that wont include any of the new supports aside from camellia most likely, becuz i cant lie, if i think a card is not good to use in the current meta i wont use it and i only use builds that i get to M1 with while also having fun and not having to struggle. Im sure u can push through M1 if you play enough games, even with cyanos but that would take a lot more time due to the fact that new support cards dont really have a place in the deck yet so u would have a really difficult time coping (its a shame really cuz cyanos is the type of card that would be highlighted in replays thanks to the amount of plays u make with the card compared to camellia which has a unique unseen advantage in summoning condition)

Hello ! What do you recommend if you only have 2 Kagari?

[@frozenbyicebeam]

My recommendation would be to craft 1 more...funnily enough

[@seijurokusanagi495]

@@frozenbyicebeam Sadly we can't craft this card X) We can only get her in the secret pack. The decklist at the end is the best version? Or do I need to add droplet for example?

[@frozenbyicebeam]

U can craft kagari, just not the alt art, look for the regular art one :D And theres no best version, i just never play the same lists ever so theres always something different each month

People are so petty now with scooping before final hit that I can't tell if players take the hit anymore because they are fine with it or if they just didn't realize they lost until that moment

Prolly didnt realize or they just dont wanna give u the satisfaction

Do you think you can put one bonfire and one poplar to search Kurikara?

Ah that would be too much bricks unfortunately and kurikara is definitely not that essential to a point where u have to search it whatever the cost

Should i replace pot by droplet or raigeki 👀?

[@frozenbyicebeam]

if u feel like ur rng is kinda mid and dont wanna randomly lose all ur important spells then yeah lol, i usually rotate raigeki/droplet in and out for mind con to test em out and it feels like mind con fits better in this build, droplet and raigeki r definitely good however

ima try this cool deck

Is there any card for replacing change heart?

I dont think so cuz its not once per turn and the stolen monster can also attack, very fitting for this OTK build

@@StrongestRed haha if u think this fun build is worth it. I have an account just to play sky striker so i dont really have problems with the materials

You should run pot of avarice over desires

[@frozenbyicebeam]

It doesnt fit this build, this is an otk build and avarice is for the grind game which works best if u run lots of handtraps

@@frozenbyicebeam you can use it for otk this type of build you just got into all your link 1s and 1 link2 then use pot of avarice I tested it a lot n use it first turn pretty often when I draw it

Haha ur not the only one apparently

[@jervey123]

damn, what a nasty deck this is

[@luismolina7030]

What do you do when you go first? Sky striker is Big brain deck to play and going first is not a good choice unless you can establish a decent field

[@frozenbyicebeam]

U just pick going 2nd? And in this meta, no top decks wanna go 2nd so opponent will pick going first and make u go 2nd anyway Remember MD is bo1, u have no reason to worry about it unlike in TCG where its bo3

[@luismolina7030]

@@frozenbyicebeam Ok

[@nehki7394]

I played the cyanos variant and I can say that this card is garbage. Except for the graveyard effect, he is pretty useless. Always get ash or imperm. The design of cyanos is for sure to play SS as a control deck. But SS control is very very hard and 1 mistake kill the game. It’s the same for Camelia being able to be summoned JUST once per turn. So her effect can’t be used as a board breaker. And I will not talk about engage 0 that lock you without linkage. Konami just piss me off…They print broken cards just for meta decks but nothing for rogue players …

Thank you for skipping the first turns of the opponents. The video is much more enjoyable this way.

[@tatthanhmai8559]

Every time I think the rogue deck has reached the limit, you show me the new way to play during the meta. Wellplay as always. Currently, I'm climbing with Vaalmonica and oh boy, the deck is really fun, a zebufera + followed rthyme on field with field spell set up is deceptively hard to break. However, the deck bricks like no tomorrow, you need specifically at least the pendulum and lv4 to start your combo. I'm too frustrated that I have to do everything to set up my basic endboard when snake eye or fireking can just use 1 card and have tons of interactions. Konami plz...

[@frozenbyicebeam]

Haha, vaalmonica is definitely one of those decks that brick more often than usual and its also quite irritating to play through just 1 imperm/veiler sometimes

[@malaxianos374]

Good video but this kind of games rarely happen

[@frozenbyicebeam]

Hmm, i mean, i went straight from D5 to M1 with this deck and gather replays so i dont see these as "rarely" per say...basically having to do this every month constantly

[@cnydo]

if only mind control allowed monster to attack

[@frozenbyicebeam]

The funny thing is that even if so its still a slightly worse Change of Heart, time to release Snatch Steal!!!

@@frozenbyicebeam why not play falling down or reflection rondo. edit: nvm they're bad and hopt

[@kashira-0]

All the Sky Striker support in recent years has been so f**king mid. Linkage, Camellia and Azalea are the best we got and they're just decent cards. Those stupid main deck 'Sage of' monsters and now these big links should've been new SPELLS. New ways to interact and manage resources. Maybe a bounce that evolves into a spin, or a reverse Widow Anchor that can steal a monster but only use its effects with the GY setup, or a busted field spell like Babel that can turn Engage and Afterburners into quick-effects, etc. We could even have some brand new gimmick with 'spell monsters' that can hop onto the MMZs like a Paleo or an Eldlich trap, but specifically not count against the activation of other spells. Just simply more ways to link and avoid lethal without the anti-synergy of clogging yourself and killing all your spells. That's what the Sage cards could've been. I don't understand why Konami is so intent on giving control decks focusing on backrow more and more monsters. It's so annoying. Anyways, great video. Even though I prefer the multiple turns grind, this OTK version is interesting and might be less of a pain to rank with. It really feels hopeless sometimes to grind vs the insane recursion of newer decks without Multirole working overtime.

Yep, pretty much! Altho the meta decks atm always go first so its not an issue (we also dont have TCG bo3 so it should be fine, until tenpai comes around that is....story for another day) Thanks for watching!
