YCS CHAMPION BREAKS DOWN BEST DECKS POST BANLIST (TIER LIST)

Back at 2 still a w for the boy

[@Al-tanin]

There is a reason

[@adamquenano8563]

God Vanquish Soul needs new support, there’s other attributes Konami could make monsters on

[@R3LE4SE]

Yeah idk why Konami makes three waves of support of centurion, just to be an okay deck. Meanwhile, VS has gotten one and they’re already done. While in the same deck build pack as Centurion, memento and valmonic received multiple waves of support, like wtf.

[@CSCH69]

where VS field spell that can search razen :(

[@NajarinPrime]

Yea VS definitely can use more support

[@mt10-nick66]

Any spell that can be searched by mad love to turn her into a starter as well would be amazing. Obviously some kind of strong field spell as well and maybe one other kind of continuous spell/quick play to help you recycle monsters from banished or bounce them to dodge effects or tag out would be great..

No more like even tho he's a ycs champ he clearly doesn't know what the deck is capable of we literally can take any deck the hardest for us to deal with is snake eye fiendsmith so no inaccurate statements

[@eclipse_zeta]

I'm a Mannadium believer, just let me end on Little Knight, Chengying, Chaos Angel and Dis Pater and pray that my opponent doesn't have Nibiru.

[@ZombieReese]

Or dark ruler - a Visas fan

[@eclipse_zeta]

@@ZombieReese At least you can negate DRNM with Mannadium Reframing. The only way to negate Nib is with Dis Pater, and only if the opponent has played a handtrap earlier and you have banished it from the GY with SP.

[@ZombieReese]

[@eclipse_zeta]

@@ZombieReese Crossout Dessignator is such a good card. I'll probably play it in main if Nib gets more popular, which it'll probably do.

Mannadium is my religion, Visas is my dad and Baronne is our dead horse.

[@shalka8796]

I'm sad because I didn't see thunder dragon and swordsoul. Especially swordsoul is basically immune to bystials, plus can make protos, plus it's full power, plus denglong combo at turn one puts on the board 2 omni negates with chixiao and longyuan

[@Nugget6799]

Nibiru is like the best hand trap with apollousa banned and swordsoul has no way to play around nib with baronne banned. So as much as I love the deck, it's just not it right now

[@haroutkayabalian8591]

Calling chixiao and Longyuan "Omni" negates is an exaggeration. The cards aren't even enough to win games on their own

[@wdililn]

Tbh everything you said about swordsoul can be said about ritual beast, except that deck does everything better

[@Nugget6799]

@@wdililnnah ritual beast has lines that play around nibiru, yeah you may get nibbed BUT bare minimum you set up the link 4 or nochidrago and steeds which is usually enough anyway and because you can contact fuse and banish things from grave like the new Lara to summon nochidrago your Crack back is nuts but swordsoul doesn't really have that. Like you you're right nib hurts ritual beast and I'm not going to deny that

Its nice to see Chimera getting some respect from a more notable player. Definitely a sleeper deck if you aren't prepared for it

[@TCVHC1]

waited all week for this and mans delivers

[@IAngelofFuryI]

Centurion White Forest can play through Nib with most hands. It either makes Dragoon via muddy or extends with The Iris Swordsoul. Even without Calamity, full endboard is like Dragoon, Auxilla, Diabell/S:P, Blazar and Trapped Centurions ready to make another Blazar or Nova, and a set Woes. Sometimes a Chaos Angel in there if you see Bystials I've seen pretty decent results leaning into board breakers like Droplets and DRNM over handtraps.

[@invertfriend]

Memento not being in the top tier feels wrong, it's basically Snake-Eyes 2: Electric Boogaloo

[@ntheassasin9894]

I've been testing dragon link fiendsmith lately and its better than people give it credit for. The fiendsmith engine feels so nice in the deck since necroquip actually draws you 1 cause of ravine, lurrie is a discard with a good effect. The deck has a very good yubel matchup cause of bystials and koa ki meiru is basically an ftk, same thing with branded. Also a decent tenpai matchup cause they dont have an in-engine out to borrelend, also seal has a very good target against tenpai :)

[@diomede75]

it’s a pain to have to admit that when your opponent draws shifter you’re basically playing a different game, for this reason I will be bold and say Tenpai is the best deck right now

[@marcochiesa6356]

Have u seen the unchained fiendsmith build with magical muskets? If so what do u think about it?

[@ENvvoy6]

What are your thoughts on Mermail with the upcoming support in rage of the abyss?

Every deckof teh best decks with the exception of Ritual Beast can play around droll easily, it doesn't matter if you Droll when Ash was activated the full combo still happen, Yubel can do eveyrthing with Samsara D Lotus ands the combpo bareluy searches, Tenpai just need to search once, even Tier 2 decks like Labrinth searches once in their plays and all opf the otehr stuff comes from Deck to field.

[@Kpgg97]

Can you play a tear fiendsmith deck ? Locals

[@Shiro-ch7uu]

get cooking

[@fraternovaeres]

It requires 5 extra deck slots + Pilgrim Reaper. I'm skeptical Tear can fit it with how tight the extra deck is. If you wanted to use it purely for Pilgrim Reaper, you could cut Desirae and Sequence, but that's still 3 extra deck slots (Moon+Requiem+Necroquip) when you could run one Dangerous instead.
