YCS Utrecht - Top 16 - Shaddoll Invoked - Bart Ladru (NO CALIGA!+ Combo Guide)

Bart Ladru is VERY familiar with Invoked.
Thank you for doing a deck profile Bart! Great job!
Bart's Shaddoll Invoked decklist focusses on going first and trapping your opponent with a winda. He has a really cool combo that he shows in the video. Bart has been playing invoked for quite a long time now and has booked a lot of succes. This is his 2nd YCS top proving his skill.

Top 16, definitely impressive considering how massive this YCS was, and due to the nature of this format (very unsolved/hard to predict going into the YCS)

I came across this guy 2 times next to me in top tables. Nice guy. Good to see he made it into Top 16

awesome profile

[@matthiasretter9878]

Does this combo work aswell starting with Shaddoll Fusion?

[@BartLadru]

If you open Shaddoll Fusion you can summon Hedgehog with Wendi, then flip it up with the trap to search El Fusion, then during the opponents turn Hedge and Controller still make Winda. So it still works, just slightly different

[@wassimzenine8116]

good deck

[@phalmatticus5093]

Without Caliga or Raidjin in the extra deck, what were Bart's options for hands only containing Invocation without Lights to fuse with? Invocation can't make Gardna into Construct, so did he just do Mechaba pass in this scenario?

[@fidibus4290]

why no aleister link?

[@Tatsym]

Bart said he wanted more space for the SuperPoly package, and Aleister was the least needed card so he cut it!

[@fidibus4290]

@@Tatsym okay interesting. Extra deck economy seems to be a very important part when building this deck.

[@Cancer8899]

@@Tatsym I would don't do it, cut aleister link.

[@sirbedivere5670]

I want to ask: Don't you think the PSY-Frame package and Pot of Desires kinda conflict with each other? If Desires banishes Driver then three Gamma become useless.

[@jazzerokami2443]

You are pretty much right but they still are fusion fodder for Mechaba and Construct

[@theofficialk.a.m...p4760]

Do y'all realize he got top 16 with a budget build. You don't need apple or Thanos to build this deck.

[@tl4038]

budget build.. sure invocation, aleister meltdown, almiraj. budget sure

[@theofficialk.a.m...p4760]

@@tl4038 very budget when you already bought the invoked stuff for a deck that I built on ygo the day they released all this support for Shaddoll. Watch that market. You'll be OK.

[@plankcaller]

@@theofficialk.a.m...p4760 maybe invocation will go down once the crazy buyouts stop? here's to hoping.

[@theofficialk.a.m...p4760]

@@plankcaller invocation was ten dollars when mekk knight invoked was still being played over this. It's always been a good archetype people just forget how good poly decks can be. People also forgot about the card keeper of dragon magic. Looks you into fusion but a really good one of for the pure Shaddoll to search with

[@antoinelanglois8587]

what is the trap at 8:14, we cannot read it and i don't recognise the image

[@Tatsym]

Evenly matched..?

[@theofficialk.a.m...p4760]

My deck is so crazy. Blind second and almost unlimited non targeting destruction. Can't wait to give it a shot at a local

@@Tatsym u fool!! haha awesome

[@Roxsaws]

I was thinking Shaddoll would be a good restart for me in the game but now I sit here with 100 for inocation, 70 for evenly matched, 20 for the rabbit and so on :D my plan of playing 100 euro budged deck expands now to 500 euro compeditive deck and I just play with my friends. fuck my life LMAO

[@Tatsym]

Do you live in america? Cuz super invocation is 'only' 30 in europe

[@Roxsaws]

@@Tatsym 30 each, playset 90 with shipping 100 bucks

[@Tatsym]

@@Roxsaws oh yeah fair enough.. i'm sure there are some good budget builds if you're only playing with friends though?

[@BartLadru]

I'd say Evenly isn't 100% mandatory when building on a budget. Although it is ofc a good card, there are alternatives such as Cosmic Cyclones, Red Reboot that can do similar things. But yea, that still doesn't make Invocations and Almiraj any less expensive sadly haha

[@Roxsaws]

@@BartLadru on almiraj a friend said I can have it for less than 20 bucks. Then I'll showed him cardmarket with just a "not anymore" xD

[@alphawolf9324]

So would you say this is more of a budget build ?

[@Tatsym]

I mean the cards are not really expensive anyways? Its just a build

[@alphawolf9324]

@@Tatsym that's true I was just wondering but his build is pretty solid I love the 2 mechaba

@@Tatsym Sure 3 invocation is only $100+. Not expensive at all..

[@Tatsym]

@@tl4038 imo 100 for 3 cards is better than 100 for 1 lightning storm. If you don't want to spend anything this game isn't for you. This deck being less than 250 makes it REALLY cheap for this format

[@tl4038]

@@Tatsym Man youre really cocky. The best version of Shaddolls isn't budget anymore wich makes it unplayable for budget players. They were all hoping to be competitive with just the structure decks and now prices have skyrocketed. Like 60% of the players who bought it for competitive play won't even be playing it anymore. Also 250 euro is not cheap. Ive payed 300 euro + for my Appollousa and Magicians' Souls, but that doesn't mean a deck below 250 is REALLY cheap. It's still rather expensive, considering the structure deck is what made this deck be all hype. With Soulburner Structure Deck without the 3 Phantazmays, you could still build a Tier 1 competitive deck for less than 100 euro easily. Do you see the difference now? The deck is not really cheap this format. You have alot of decks still cheaper than 250 euro and still perform just as well.
