The DEFINITIVE YGO Edison Format Normal Summon/Set TIER LIST

[@angelcandelaria6728]

Great idea! No one else does this tier list

[@charltonmccoy5300]

Frazier just talking for an hour about yugioh? Sign me up! Love you’re enthusiasm brother, easy to tell you have a lot of fun with your channel. Continue your passion and you will always do well!

[@imnerdpodcast]

Wow thank you 🙏🏾🖤

[@mrmatthewwilliamsify]

I was just happy to see lonefire so high. Tytannial really does have a lot of plus matchups in Edison. It’s insane

[@imnerdpodcast]

trust me, I aint sleepin lol

[@angelcandelaria6728]

As an old player CAN CONFIRM junk synchron IS what made us play frogs again seriously. junk frog was affordable and easy to build while being fun and efficient

[@angelcandelaria6728]

Holy shittt, you can mill with card trooper after debris dragon?!!!! Wtf All these years playing it and this is the first time Ive heard this. Back then we were not as clear on “cost” and the benefits of being able to “pay for cost” With effect negated. This changes so much

[@Rodrigaumsjn]

I dunno if its too late for a comment, but here it goes. i do think gearframe deserves abeter spot, since the monster brings a very good boss monster to the hand, or a "monster reborn". and you can still equip it to a machine to protect. thats a good machanic. it sinergizes greatly in the sworn engine for turboing the deck. the only bad thing is being a machine, which we all agree is very easy to side against. good stats btw.

[@alonsoalfredo70]

Where’s my boy Dimensional Alchemist

[@imnerdpodcast]

He’s meh

[@austinbrown2833]

Pretty solid list, although your forgetting the clear S+ card of man-eater bug lol

[@imnerdpodcast]

The OG! How could we forget

[@ofwgktaDREW]

No Dimensional Alchemist :(

[@danielyu7237]

great video really shows why blackwing, hero and vayu are head and shoulders above the rest. are you meming or does arkus eff actually work while in grave? is that just weird edison ruling and are there other cards in the format that also have continous while in grave and field eff?

[@imnerdpodcast]

No it doesn’t actually work like that. We are referencing a previous video we did where we played with lightskin and our opponent told us we couldn’t target anything because aurkus was in grave lol

[@AsianWithHat]

Tier list everything!

[@imnerdpodcast]

It’s a good one

[@thunderdragondome]

stratos also being really good cuz nobody wants to bottomless or prison it, it cant get beaten over easly, it just puts up so much pressure in combination with alius, is searchable by 5 cards, can be used with miracle, is insane in return fadd decks or them that use call of the haunted, searches a free special, a skill drain on legs, mali for comboing off etc etc💨💚

[@imnerdpodcast]

all of this

[@SinatraAtHisFinest]

Once you get in a situation where people keep bouncing stratos with a ocean you will never question bottemless on stratos

[@thunderdragondome]

@@SinatraAtHisFinestyes sure but i mean after first summon 👍😊

[@Dizzinator2114]

I just started Edison a few days ago and I was like I wanted to either play a hero or vayu turbo.

[@imnerdpodcast]

both of those are among the best decks in the format, so you have good taste

[@samskott2344]

I'm only a few minutes in and I 100% agree with Alius, the card itself is insane on top of everything it can synergize with.

[@imnerdpodcast]

probably the best overall stats of all normal summons in the format tbh

[@DanteAlighieriIlBulloDiFirenze]

My boy forgot about zero gardna. That counters any pesky otk deck!1!!1!

[@imnerdpodcast]

Oh yeah we sure did! Lol

[@danglennon5642]

What would you rate normal summoning cards that are typically special summons? Like, normal summoning Plaguespreader Zombie or X-Saber Airbellum? Another question; what about archetype specific cards like Ocean or Flamvell Firedog?

[@imnerdpodcast]

All of those as normal summons are mid, so we didn’t bother

[@Kolaaaron10]

Really? Why dont you like Firedog? It’s a 1 card stardust or any level 8 synchro (even attacks over stratos/shura/hamster cuz it’s 1900!😎

[@guilhermebotelho5691]

I agree with pretty much everything, but I don't understand how Sangan is not above Shining Angel at least. Searches the same things and is more proactive since if you tribute it or synchro with it not to mention if you torrential or black rose you still get your search is pretty powerful. Maybe it is slow compared to the s tier but I think it is at least a tier

[@imnerdpodcast]

shining angel is more game warping than sangan in Edison because Kristya exists, and keeping field presence is super important too. It's incredibly hard to get through against the fairy deck because of how "squishy" shining angel is. Sangan, on the other hand, is not bad but most of the time it's just waiting for a caius to happen.

[@guilhermebotelho5691]

fair enough, thanks! I probably underrated that lol@@imnerdpodcast

[@guilhermebotelho5691]

i haven't played much against fairies as well

[@ATrueHER0]

Deep Sea Diva S+ in my opinion.

[@imnerdpodcast]

S+ is reserved for the absolute best normal summons in the format. Diva is great. We have it in S tier. But I don’t think it’s on the same level as stratos and toad. If tribute summons were counted Caius would be in S+ tier though.

[@ATrueHER0]

Every deck she’s in is named after her, which speaks volumes to how good she is. However to each his own.

[@imnerdpodcast]

Yeah, but attributing a card’s power to a deck’s naming convention is a bit ridiculous. Also, zombies is just called “zombies”, but they all have diva in them, so there’s that.

[@JorgeGarcia-r2x]

Are u gonna be in Orlando?

[@imnerdpodcast]

Nah

[@Goblinpunch123]

>>doesn't include expressroid >>gotta remake the video great video, keep up the good work.

[@imnerdpodcast]

Lmao one day

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Ryko is slightly better than hamster cuz hamster gets shat on by firedog which then makes stardust to shit on the ryko that hamster summons

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Also hamster gets shat on by koaki meiru drago/kristya/vanity fiend. Where as a ryko wouldve saved u by popping the floodgate

[@imnerdpodcast]

Lol

[@snowboardinglegend]

Wheres firedog deck is tier 1 this format

[@imnerdpodcast]

in what format?

[@snowboardinglegend]

@imnerdpodcast flamvell got a top 16 spot at SJC edison? Pretty sure the flamvell cards were fairly new and unexplored at this point and very underrated. Alius isn't anywhere in top 16. 🤔

[@hoofTooTheHead]

Lonefire S+ in Amaryllis

[@imnerdpodcast]

Yeah lonefire go crazy in that deck for sure

[@LaxusDB]

They didn’t even mention LADD 😢

[@imnerdpodcast]

lol we specifically said no tribute summons for this video

[@tylerpoe8628]

Is Arkus commentary real or no? 😅

[@imnerdpodcast]

it's from an old video we did where we used lightsworn and the guy told us we couldnt target because aurkus was in grave

[@Nucyntax]

Lone fire summon tomato

[@imnerdpodcast]

Yes

[@snowboardinglegend]

Diva and debris dragon deserve to be higher for sure.... Alius is ok but a lot of the cards played to make him good (gemini spark, hero blast) can be bricks... think you are overrating him here.. Shining angel and nova summoner are trash not sure what deck theyre even played in this format?? KM drago is just a niche side deck card? Thunder king is a boss and should be higher up just cause his stats imo put him on par with alius, and late game maybe the search thing isnt as relevant but the special summon negation is big

[@imnerdpodcast]

nice!

[@shadowdraqon2479]

Debri dragon is accurately tiered, it would be higher if scrap dragon and/or trishula was in edison or if debri dragon didnt have its 2 negative clauses(cant synchro with a lvl 4 and can only go into dragon synchros)

[@elijahbarfoth1832]

No Flamvell Firedog on here??

[@imnerdpodcast]

Flamvell firedog has done virtually nothing in modern Edison, so it’s mid.

[@wibi45]

Feel like you are really biased in favor of frogs but that is just my opinion. And when you said gearframe isnt s tier because no s tier deck plays it kinda sounds not in the spirit of the video because you are mixing grandmas and grandpas. The only reason why machina decks arent s tier is because everybody sides 2 cyber dragons, and that still doesnt actually affect the powerlevel of gearframe which is to almost instantly enable fortress.Hope you dont find this comment disrespectful because i typed it out so your channel can get some constructive criticism

[@imnerdpodcast]

So you don’t think substitoad is by far one of the most absurd ygo cards printed?

[@imnerdpodcast]

Also, you should really watch the full video because I talked about gearframe extensively

[@wibi45]

@@imnerdpodcast yeah i get it that you continued talking but got the itch instantly to type a comment. And about substoad, it wouldnt be banned for such a long time if it wasnt one of the strongest cards in the history of the game, but lets say its game 2, sidedecking done and the opponent has mask of tribute up what is the toad supposed to do. I am using the same logic as if the opponent had cyber in hand after gearframe player opens gear + fort. He cant do nothing if he has no removal for the type of card that is blocking him. And dupelocks arent that powerful in this meta imo because rykos and caiuses and even snowmans are really common so you used your subs play to make a soft dupelock, or even a hard one, its still going to get outed

[@stango127]

@@wibi45 One interesting thing to note I don't think we really mentioned Gearframe being weak to Cydra at all in the video as a negative towards it even though that's decently valid. I think what's more cruical to the point is Gearframe once summoned does nothing to further the plan of the deck and engine (outside of PoA but that isn't Absolute Zero lol) when it goes in the grave where substitoad very clearly and strongly does this
