Swordsoul Deck & Guide - Learn to play in 7 minutes! Yugioh Master Duel Beginner Guide

[@KnightofZero473]

This break down is amazing I just saw this on Reddit and immediately had to sub. Please do more as a newbie to MD this is insanely helpful

[@KuganeGaming]

Thank you! I'll be doing more soon^^.

[@HI-kb2cg]

@@KuganeGaming hey trying to learn atm and thank you would like to see you do the structure decks and you forgot the decklist and possible sides and optional cards.

[@KuganeGaming]

@@HI-kb2cg i wanted the videos to be evergreen so I did the guide and decktech separately ^^

[@jabermogwai5996]

A little extra information regarding chixao effect, when your moye or taia gets negated and you have longyuan + wyrm or other swordsoul card You can special summon longyuan + token, make chixiao using taia or moye, use chixiao effect to banish blackout (since his effect lets you either banish or add the card from the deck) use blackout effect to summon another token and make barrone or evil longyuan using the token + longyuan on the field.

[@H-Visage]

That makes sense, but now you lost blackout destruction? or is valuing a level 10 and 8 better? (I'm a noob)

[@jabermogwai5996]

@@H-Visage it all depends on the meta, for example when tearlament is the best deck, you probably want to have chixiao + evil long yuan since if you use blackout it will only benefit the tear player, but in other meta (like during kash or labyrinth meta) you probably want to prioritizing black out over the syhncro 10, but for me personally i prefer having an omni negate like barrone in bo1 format.

[@H-Visage]

@@jabermogwai5996 Ah I see. Thanks for the feedback!

[@up7fplayzz660]

what do i do once barrone is destroyed?

[@shaman8375]

It’s actually a great breakdown. I don’t play swordsoul but good to understand how other popular decks play when I’m going against them

[@KuganeGaming]

Happy to hear so! I kind of want the videos to be short and to the point so both new players and experienced can benefit from them.

[@asurahri7606]

This video is actually amazing. I already main swordsoul but I get curious what other videos have to say about it so I've seen a few and this gotta be the best yugioh explain deck video I've seen really good job you deserve the support!

Thank you so much for the kind words! ^^ I’ll cover Sprights next week =)

[@dylan9124]

I've seen this and the Tearlaments guides you posted and they are HANDS DOWN the most concise and informative guides available. One of the easiest and most well deserved subs ever.

[@talonmort8059]

I just started playing Swordsoul in MD, and I have looked up several deck guides on youtube. This video has been the easiest to understand by far. Thank you for making this video.

[@KuganeGaming]

Glad to hear so!

[@JMoreTCG]

I enjoy these kinds of videos. They are broken down very well. I can follow your thought almost like a school lesson. Sometimes people on KZbin go off on a tangent which makes it difficult to learn the concept.

[@KuganeGaming]

Its the style I'm trying to go for. We have a lot of talented players on KZbin, but a lot of them either overload players with information or provide too little. These guides aren't perfect, I need to cut corners and not mention some effects for the sake of making the learning process easier, but I hope I can provide a stepping stone for new players!^^

[@J___G_]

Great video. Would love to see more of these for top tier decks and maybe videos about choke points on popular decks

[@KuganeGaming]

Thank you! Right now I want to get everything up to Tier 3 covered as a 'how to' style of video. After that I want to start heading into "How to beat" stuff, maybe a periodic Hand trap tier list when there is a meta shift and such =].

[@beetus8169]

just made a sword soul deck and although it isnt as strong as tears its still one of the most fun decks out there with this video it helped alot to combo

[@KuganeGaming]

I also love that you are done after 5 summons instead of having to sit through 15 effects in a turn. Makes grinding a lot more fun.

[@DigiTism]

I was looking for this exact video!!! I recently built the deck (TCG) and was looking for a guide. You’re the best!!! Would you consider doing a Dracoslayer guide?

[@KuganeGaming]

I did consider a Dracoslayer guide simply because of how budget the deck is. You can pretty much build it with 0 URs. I'll look into it!^^

[@Tylerohwhat]

If you haven't yet, please do a more in depth one for breaking boards and additional tips/tricks! For some reason, some of these things that should be easy to get, just don't come naturally to me. This is insanely helpful

[@KuganeGaming]

@@devyncondon7413 I think we will just shift to playing the 10 cost Lonyuan and Chenying instead of De Fleur. Both were arguably great plays anyway, now we have more reason to go for it.

Super clear and concise, thank you that was so enjoyable to watch !

[@KuganeGaming]

[@kennypk]

Dope video! Just a few nit-picky things I want to mention for posterity: CHI XIAO can banish a wyrm from HAND as well as gy to negate. It can also banish a swordsoul from deck instead of adding to hand. So if moye gets impermed etc. you can longyuan eff>make chixao>banish blackout and create another token to make a synchro 10. ASHUNA not only locks you from ss’ing non-wyrm ED monsters, but just ss’ing non-wyrm in general. So you wouldnt be able to ss ecclesia or bystials after. If its eff is negated by ash etc however you are still free to ss non-wyrms. DRACO BERSERKER has to destroy an EFFECT monster AND send it to gy to get its atk boost and second atk. So if they are banished or sent to ED (Pendulums) you could miss lethal. QIXING only lets you draw if a WYRM is synchro summoned. BAXIA lets you spin cards up to the number of diff attributes of WYRM monsters used for its synchro. So ecclesia + lvl 4 wyrm only gives you 1 spin for example. Additional cards to note: Shthana + Heavenly Dragons Circle. Circle lets you dodge imperm on mo ye etc, then add shthana (lvl 4 wyrm) to hand to continue plays. Also can ve ss’d with ashuna to extend into lvl 8 synchros. Finally there are some battle trick plays you can use shthana for by crashing monk etc. Chaofeng. If you have an all gas hand, you can use ashuna + lvl 1/7 tenyi to make baxia and then pop another card (monk etc.) to revive adhara and make chaofeng. This will then insulate your plays from effect veiler, or force your opponent to nib before you make chaofeng (otherwise its dead unless they also have imperm).

[@KuganeGaming]

I'll take note for future update videos =]

Other than the Baronne misinformation, this is a good breakdown. You always risk it for that extra draw biscuit off Qixing Longyuan. Not to mention it often has better applicantion in applying pressure since everyone forgets its effects.

[@met_roundnet]

I watch a lot of KZbin and I always find the hard part of picking up a new deck, understanding: if I like it, the win condition the basics of what it wants to do, I discovered golden nova couple years back he makes videos that give an archetype analysis that gets some of the job done. I also thought about starting my own yt channel with video just like this one The cards/ the basics effects and how they relate, and explaining briefly the actual list and “combos”, or just what u usually want to do/ summon Just a longer way of saying Great vid ! Hope you do more ! U got a new Yugioh subscriber

[@KuganeGaming]

I'll do more for sure! =] I think the "golden ratio" to make these videos sustainable in ad revenue without having to rely on people donating to Patreon and such is to be able to reach around 50k views per video on average within a year or so. Yugioh is a big market, and I have had a lot of success with Sky Striker last year, over 100k views. So I will keep looking into ways to cover popular decks to be able to do just that.

[@met_roundnet]

@@KuganeGaming i was just watching the other videos of that series, ''beginner guide '' ( i'll call it that ) thankfully most of the decks are similar between tcg and duel master. I'm a ''compettitive '' player, or at least that's the type of content i watch( even tho i'm not that good), just maybe consider that the type of viewers may vary between strictly master duel decks and tcg decks. in my case i'm not interested in master duel only decks. great job again and ciao from italy
