The FIRST Yu-Gi-Oh SYNCHRO vs XYZ Decks!

[@TeamAPS]

*Synchros or Xyz? Which one do you like more and why?*

[@shadow_lore]

Synchro cause it’s easier for me lol

[@varisrevolver4061]

Synchro all the way. I may have gotten into yugioh through Zexal but my main deck is synchro based

[@joshschave6376]

Xyz because it have my favorite yugioh deck the galaxy deck that Kites own

[@isaiahbroars835]

Synchros

[@jamesw9781]

Synchro since my first proper deck was based all around Synchro Monsters.

[@norabellerose8560]

The ideal strategy for Paul that sadly never happened would’ve been for him to bring out junk warrior and copycat, copy cat could of copied utopias attack and junk warrior would gain those attack points from copycat giving junk warrior an attack strength of 5800.

[@neptune1163]

4800 hundred lol junk is 2300 and utopia is 2500

And missed with them all

[@lexyeevee]

his original catchphrase was "kattobingu", which doesn't quite mean anything, so it's not too surprising that it got lost in translation

[@peterstory4840]

Both of those were my favorite childhood starter decks I remember how my brother got his xyz deck before me bc I thought I wasn’t getting one and then got surprised by it after I did my chores also I remember trading a nerf gun to my brother for the synchro deck

[@fernandosano7598]

21:50 it's an illegal move, dark blader is level 3 due to miniaturize effects, can't be used to bring out Utopia

[@Deoxys_Used_Mimic]

It thought the catchphrases where: “Let’s kick this duel into Overdrive!” and “I’m feelin’ the Flow!”

[@Galcian1995]

The first one was Jack Atlas's catchphrase Yusei's Catchphrase was "Let's Rev It Up" The second one is Yuma's Catchphrase

[@pokejedi5184]

@@Galcian1995 It can also be "I'm gonna jet" depending on whether you read the manga or watch the anime. I still don't know what the manga catchphrase means though, since it's used a lot in way too many different situations.

[@leolyo7]

What's strange is that here in Serbia, Europe I've played YuGiOh during my primary school days and stopped somewhere around 2011 and I've never heard of Synchro nor XYZ until I came back to the game this year. This means that the coverage of cards in my country then was extremely behind other big countries. While the YGO scene now is pretty much up to date with the world thanks to the internet and everything, it's just something interesting to think about: the fact that while the world was in the 5ds time and started shifting towards the XYZ, we were still in deep into GX.

I am not a pro but I feel like you can use xys basically with any deck, instead synchro monsters need a good deck to be played consistently.

XYZ still need deck setup. A lot of times monsters in an archetype are all different levels which works much better with Synchro than it does XYZ. They said they still both require paying attention to levels and even sometimes modifying them. Cards like Galactic Spiral Dragon matter for a reason. Links are really the only ones that commonly don't need setup.
