This card will ruin Yugioh!

[@d1fferen7]

Players: Please don't release broken cards that will ruin Yu-Gi- Konami: Aight bet. Also Konami: Releases this card.

[@chikasnotmadjustdisappoint6266]

That's their whole business strategy. By releasing new and powerful cards, they're almost forcing players to buy those cards if they want any chance of keeping up with the meta.

[@shigesohma]

you forgot one. Also players: buys card.

[@mxp4se]

And in today's show, we'll see why archetypes NEED summoning restrictions.

[@MattOsheaYGO]

i dont disagree!

[@dudono1744]

Well, Fiendsmith Requiem does have a restriction, which is pretty tight.

[@theerealatm]

Right. Archetyoes need to have summon restrictions on certain cards. I shouldn't be locked down to summoning heroes for the turn if I summon a cross crusader and it gets negated, meanwhile snake eye gets to summon heroes, failures, fiends, angels, god. What happened to restrictions like, skip battle phase goes back to hand and end turn.

[@jjasuka]

Probably one of the reasons I love qli so much that “you can only summon qli monsters”

[@Beannie7777]

Exosister would within the best decks if martha did not left a restriction where you can only summon exosister monsters

[@kashira-0]

It's not Goddess that's the problem, it's the Fiendsmith engine itself, especially the link 1. Whether it's Mermaid or Requiem, a link 1 bridging you into a powerful engine is the real dumb design.

[@ib5131]

Naah

[@imsoready1114]

8:58 This is EXACTLY the problem. Konami knows they can get away with it no matter how many times people bring this up as a problem because these exact same people will continue to purchase the product they're complaining about.

Conspiracy Theory: Konami is releasing this engine to make a hyper tier 0 deck so toxic that it makes players invent a new Master Rule 5 retro time wizard format that Konami can later host and make money from.

[@303Thatoneguy]

[@paranixoussouxinarap4090]

Unfortunately boycotts are the only answer. Konami won't learn unless everyone even the tournament going meta players would need to boycott the sets and just refuse to buy the new cards. Which isn't going to happen because Yu-Gi-Oh and magic are closer to addictions then hobbies at this point.

[@hoodinisoar]

I’ve literally just stopped buying cards these new cards at this point, but I’ll go buy Edison format cards to keep supporting my local card shops

[@drewtoya8015]

Any bets chummy or moon goddess or fiendsmith engraver being a short printed secret like nekroz brionac?

Moon goddess looks to be a common

[@jayliherable]

Isn't this kind of like Underworld Goddess?

[@gabudaichamuda2545]

Someone mentioned in your Discord that Russian players have an agreement not to play Snake-Eye. Imagine an event where majority of players, if not all, agreed to play anything but expensive meta. Think of the looks on Konami reps' faces as their T0 bullshit rots on shelves.

[@cnydo]

Yeah Knightmare Mermaid has returned

[@MattOsheaYGO]

facts!

[@BGLoscar]

No xeno lock means it can be splashed to most decks, but the lack of low rarity option means low accessibility, so not everyone can play this deck. Causing a larger gap between new and veteran players. Turning away new or returning players equals losing players. No wonder why some stores in my area dropped yu-gi-oh!. Some locals reduced their events from every day to 1 day only. My closest locals don't even do edison format and only do speed duels when there is a release.

[@undeadinside3571]

My licals never did alternate formats like edison to begin with. We just get a tournament on wednesdays if we have enough people

[@grimvengeance7445]

All they had to do is to make fiendsmith hard lock you into light fiends and we would all be still in this cool peaceful snake eyes format lol

[@MattOsheaYGO]

THANK YOU!!

[@DragondePlata324]

Even just a hard generic fiend lock would do (hides my Unchained deck) 😂 But yah, I can agree for the sake of not giving EVERY deck access to Ceasar

[@AceSif155]

LIGHT fiend will make it a shitty engine if thats the case and only playable with magical muskett lol, a fiend lock would be much better, but even better is to just ban beatrice and problem solved it cant bridge to anything and make a one card combo to any deck lol

[@grimvengeance7445]

@@AceSif155 banning beatrice in my opinion won’t solve anything, fiendsmith can allow you nib protection (wave king) with one card without taking your normal summon which is insanely powerful. Locking you just to fiends is an option, but it would severely restrict future archetype designs (basically konami wouldn’t be able to make a good fiend archetype because fiendsmith exists)

[@AceSif155]

@@grimvengeance7445 thats a very good point, but without beatrice ull have to draw or otherwise use cards from ur hand for ur starters and reveal ur hand which makes the lines wayyy more susceptible to handtraps besides nib, and lets say they make an apo for 3 instead of wave king, the meta will shift to more ghost ogres, and veilers, imperms to counter that, but having beatrice allows for insanely consistent combos without using cards from hand and u can link off to other engines or even sp for protection. As for the restrictions side of things fiendsmith could have been like tenyis for swordsouls where its strictly tailored for that specific type of deck, and later down the line they can hit the smith cards on the list if fiends overtook the meta but at the end of the day they didn’t put restrictions on it just like melodious for business reasons and maybe their planning to make one card combo engines a thing who knows🤷🏻

[@Got3Weens]

Question from someone who wasn’t around for full power ishizu tear format - would full power snake-eye fiendsmith be more powerful?

[@-Pulsar-]

Most likely at the same level of power. If you were to put Tear Ishizu vs Fiendsmith snake-eye it actually benefits from having their stuff being milled aswell. So Tear milling them 10 cards in grave wih the Ishizu cards it legit I feel gives them a huge amount of options, maybe without even having to use cards in hand to start comboing.

[@Got3Weens]

@@-Pulsar- makes sense! Honestly Ishizu kinda hard counters fiendsmith

[@08megamon]

The thing is that even if the effect looks bad, that link 2 makes underworld goddess a link 3 monster (by using 2 monsters your opponent controls). Even if the fiendsmith engine gets nerfed it will be useful

[@MattOsheaYGO]

if it didnt target or activate, i would agree but because it does that hurts the effect significantly

[@Synchr0nYGO]

Will there be any specific counters to Fiendsmith?

[@cjyoung5635]

I mean you could always run an ally of justice deck if your a masochist.

[@BGLoscar]

In my experience, they tend to lose when I Ash the search spell since it is hard once per turn card. Droll also hurts them. Shifter hurts them the most. As time goes by, choke points will show up, allowing us to make it easier to interrupt them.

The problem is fiendsmith, not this card

[@dissidiamaniac460]

Fiendsmith looked like It was gatekeeping other decks unless they played light fiends. Then Konami made an easy to access light fiend…

[@wyoming3898]

I know people always say this, but this is genuinely the worst place yugioh has been in for a LONG time, at least in tear the mirror match was entertaining but everything about snake eyes sucks; at the end of this competitive season im hoping yugioh will go through massive changes. A. Getting us good prizing, with Lorcana and One Piece giving amazing prizing and some of our top players jumping ship to go those games konami almost has to give better prizing now. B. Actually listen to the players/give regular banlists. Some of the biggest issues in today is the fact engines are way to small and dont have enough restrictions, ive seen a lot of people (me included) that are done with playing decks and playing against decks with 20 hand traps/board breakers. Its old and annoying but you need to play those decks in order to compete. Also maybe this is a me problem but im sick of playing against the exact same decks at my locals week after week, with how pricy decks are it makes it difficult for people to change decks so at least at my locals like half the people have been playing the same deck for 2 years cause they dont wanna put money into it.

[@MZX4206969]

I'm trying to think of a way we can potentially use closed sky to avoid running 3 fiendsmith and still go full combo

[@zefrisk7827]

Actually its not any 2 monsters for fiendsmith combo, its any 3 monsters because u need the extra body to make sequentia

[@WolfPackAlpha-sn2sw]

Konami realized hand traps are fundamentally bad card design. And proceeded to make the game infinitely worse by doing everything in their power to powercreep hand traps as a concept.
