I hope to see more videos of this aspiring Edison team, keep it up :)

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

If only they had a player capable of topping a tournament with pure BW. Alas 😔

[@charlesinternicola8072]

Thanks for the tier list - I’m really into Goat format and getting into Edison now. Really glad to have this as an overview

[@samskott2344]

Great video. Nice healthy discussion about pretty much every deck. Looking forward to more content!

[@MrMaple-zt9ou]

Not sure why I'm so quiet. Likely an issue with my headset as I'm quiet in Keegan's iron man video but not this quiet. I blame Snack.

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

She's the worst.

[@Frogslicer]

karpath signing off with "that was terrible" lolol

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

A teaser perhaps, for his own revised list? 👀

[@eldoradoadelantado9098]

Is Fairy a good pick to join the Edison format with ?

[@eldoradoadelantado9098]

I am new to it and Struggle very hard with the Deck choice .. hope you can help me :D

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Fairy is easy to understand but extremely difficult to master and get good results with. One of the harder decks in the format, I'd say. Misplays get punished pretty hard. Some of the easier decks to play are Blackwings, Quickdraw, Vayu Turbo, Diva Hero, Hero Beat, and Lightsworn.

[@andoniarangolu6264]

Disaster dragon C tier?

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

It just doesn’t have powerful backrow like Icarus attack or gemeni spark, and with the rivalry of warlords ruling discovery, one of its best side board cards is less potent. There’s been some recent innovation with DDWL in the deck that could prove fruitful and if a new brew of deck can show its mettle, it’s spot could improve on a future tier list.

[@Yayayayayyayay]

what list were u guys talking about of Diva-zombies?

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Most zombie lists play deep sea diva. We were just trying to differentiate those zombie lists from the flamvell zombies that Fitz and some others like to play.

[@Zoknias]

I'm a bit confused. What are the differences between Turbo Vayu and Hybrid? What decklists could I see?

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Hybrid Lists are playing Whirlwind and Grepher together without ryko or caius. Vayu Turbo doesn't play whirlwind, shura, blizzard, kalut, or bora.

[@Zoknias]

@@CrowsNestRetroYGO Oh! Make sense. Back in the days we called it "Turbo Blackwing" here in Mexico. I've heard about Edison Format a lot recently. I'm gonna give it a try. Ty a lot!

[@SSJGengar]

Why does no one ever mention Frog Monarchs? Am I missing something?

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Pure frog monarchs without a hero engine or a synchro engine are really underwhelming in the modern Edison meta, but all the frog decks in the format play 3 caius and most of them play 1 or more copies of Raiza.

[@cameronsaunders1410]

who is that host with the adorable voice and laugh?

[@SnackMuay]

Meh, I think her voice is pretty mediocre

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Could be anyone. 🤔

[@corinna4577]

dibs

[@Exe7737]

So build Diva Zombies and not KFC.. hmmm

[@kwamegunn1012]

This tier list is just wrong

[@CrowsNestRetroYGO]

Definitely. We recorded this 7 months ago. I think we'd all agree to put frogs higher up. I would say Glads probably deserve to be higher too and that Sabers should be lower.

[@kwamegunn1012]

@@CrowsNestRetroYGO I can. Respect that still a little off tho lol
