UPDATED - Back to Back Wins! Swordsoul Pure - How I Readapted The Build

[@tomcat6968]

This is definitely my favorite view you do for deck profiles. Please continue to keep this format for the video. The overview and all cards being shown is so nice. Also would love to know how you side deck. I still cant get it down. Figuring out what to get rid of and what to bring in.

[@MSTTV]

I'll do the all the cards at once for updates on profile, it's faster. For new profiles, I like to give a little insight to my cards doing card for card

[@tomcat6968]

@@MSTTV that makes sense, especially in case of going through what the cards do and how they are used. Thanks for the reply keep up the good work in the hobby!!

[@ryanmcconnell7410]

This deck already evolving to a going 2nd build is so crazy to me, the more innovation a strategy has the healthier the game is. example - look at drytron innovations since the banlist.....

[@troygrootegoed3160]

Mine Evenly Lightning storm DRNM this is all in a going second build, open this and u mostly win

Which banlist ? The previous one did nothing to drytron

Congrats on the wins. It looks like you really put in the work for them, a lot of practice. Deck is super pretty too.

[@MSTTV]

I just have to hold back my habit of saying standby main...., Coz I don't actually wanna go into main phase.

[@alexlee7668]

I really like your version of deck profiles and thoughts about why cards are in the deck and what purpose they serve in the matchups. As a new player sometimes I’m unsure why cards are added to do what I’m certain instances so thanks for this one! Looking forward to your next guide video coming up! I’m still torn between pure and tenyi version uwu

[@Lockon_Stratos]

A friend recommended this video to me. I'm working on making Swordsoul as well. I have two Mo Ye only; no copies of Ecclesia yet. I have been looking at the True Draco build. I might give that a try until I can afford another Mo Ye. I have the rest of the stuff at least.

Sovereign is awesome card i use him in my D/D/D extra deck and its rly useful

[@ApollousasBear]

Tenyis offer so much to the deck in terms of breaking boards and followup that playing completely pure not even with DPE sounds pretty bad tbh. Obviously the deck is pretty strong in itself and WILL win no matter how you built it (especially for local level gameplay), but I feel like Tenyi is the most optimal build. They help play around Nibiru just like Crossout but unlike Crossout they can be used going second to force interrupts. Plus I feel that the pure deck lacks enough names to consistently see 2 of them and in the right combination. Pure Swordsoul feels like a worse version of pure Tri-Brigade that does not have Revolt to fall back to if its plays get stopped. Also Archnemeses Protos is insane in the deck and not playing it definitely wrong, regardless of build.

[@roarbahamut9866]

I really feel like DPE and tenyi is just optimal. Also, pure SwordSoul is even more boring than the tenyi version.

[@mannywhiskey7872]

Tenyi engine is not as good as you think it is. when you play Ashuna they lock you into Wyrms. Vishuda and adhara are the best tenyi engine than Ashuna idk why most of peopls builts have 3 ashuna! it locks you in! then you have to play 3 vessels which are literally terrible cards! where you can play other cards to help you grind or break boards! Vishuda itself helps break boards! I built this deck because of the art work but i already knew this deck was mid tier asf! and its basic asf! i kept looking at it in the oc before it dropped in the tcg! its not as good pure or with the tenyi engine or even with the DHero engine Pure can still be good but its a grinding game

[@Q67-m7z]

@@mannywhiskey7872 and what swordsoul synchro arent wyrm? You can play around nibiru while your zenolocked so the only downside is no baroness but still you dont need him to go for game or set up interuption.

What do you do differently in a regional than a local when deck building ?

[@Easoccer10]

I took my swordsoul deck to my locals last Sunday. I went x-2 :( I was only running 4 handtraps and the instant fusion never came up for me so I might change it up. I was running 2 ash and 2 imperm, might do 3 imperm instead.Thanks for the content!

Instead of vishuda, I use aspice swordsoul due to it acts like a handtrap again veiler/imperm on your lv 4’s, then make consistent lv 10’s too and more room in your extra deck for other outs

[@Ser--]

I'm not really getting why you're doing that. To be using Aspice feels like a win more. Vishuda functions on its own due to Monk

[@aurabeast2468]

@@Ser-- itself helps makes the level 10’s easier, more versatile in any game state, not really dependents on another card to do something (no monk needed and people are learning to just get rid of the monk and you lose) it’s easier to search (you don’t need a synchro to search it/revive it off emergence/sacred mountain like players force their fields to just to do that for vishuda) and most importantly, make the opponent lose their hand traps easier while you have your crossouts live for their 2nd/key disruption. I had to stop playing tenyi due to locals learning how to kill off that variant easier and been doing better without the tenyi’s period (still use beserker)

[@Q67-m7z]

@@aurabeast2468 lol like main swordsoul combo is so interuptable i dont see why not run tenyis, besides most builds play 2-3 monk as it helps in the grind game plus if your opponent pops monk vishuda just traded with interuption anyhow so i dont see the problem.

What do you think about the virtual world + swordsoul? I never seen any player that plays this deck. I played VW for long time and know i play it with 6 cards from SW.

[@Mistrudels]

Why don't you run adhara? Im just curious. Seems like a solid way to recycle your vishuda.

[@kennynguyen5248]

More or less has to do with the way the deck plays, this deck isn't that great in the grind game especially when people only play 1 of the in arctype monster reborn spell. After you set up your board and your opponent manages to break thru it's pretty much gg

[@MSTTV]

Adhara isn't bad, but just does have as many standalone hands where adhara gives me value without the aid of the rest of the tenyi package. I want to see Swordsoul names. I could give it a go see what type of options it offers

[@Mistrudels]

@@MSTTV yeah I see. I run it at one. I would just think getting it back to hand and using it as fodder to summon long yuan might be a solid play then you can just have it back in your GY for follow ups if they break your board somehow

[@juggernautstark1]

Midrange deck, that claps on the crack back as long as your opponent doesn’t break your entire board. Tenyi variant loses to scythe and other floodgates, DPE variant loses some consistency, but better grind.

Tenyi varriant has better grind game tbh and also swordsoul loses to floodgates like sythe regardless of your decklist

Been telling people that the pure version of Swordsoul is more consistent than slapping on an engine.

There's less choke but also less flexibility. The tenyi builds I respect and will try it out again! But the tenyi build at my local has consistency issue with DPE in the mix.

[@jonathanloera6830]

You can afford to use desire because you don't play enforcer that's why. Most people play enforcer if there not playing the tenyi build

[@MSTTV]

It's really a choice because prosperity has its downfall of making the chixiao activation exposed when bother Moye and chixiaos fail to resolve, your playing from behind even with DPE. Enforcer can be punished via Ruddy Rose and a negate/bait play. Again it's about adapting, why I choose not to play enforcer, to reduce drawing into destiny heros and make it difficult to ash anything. I tend to just have bad luck with drawing DPE Pieces into hand (on stream like 4 out of 5 games lol at least 1 piece)

I mean it's a testing ground until YCS to help evolve the deck. Back to back wins ;), if you can go x-0, x-1 ,x-0 ,in 13 rounds with a variety of matchups, it's not bad. It can deal with variance. Especially when most builds were floowander, evil twin, d-hero, SS, triDPE, a couple rogues including mystic mine.

[@MrCitizen0]

Designator is so bad

[@mustardapple8028]

Lol people really counter yugituber builds

Getting a free win is a free win. People could grind it out the normal way or... Just main a couple of cheese cards. If you got a locals and 90% of it is floowander..., My main deck will have chalice, and lightning storm and I'm only going 2nd.
