The 2019 competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! season is about to begin and the July 2019 Yu-Gi-Oh! Banlist is in effect! Many people thought Salamangreat was unplayable with only one Gazelle and one Circle, but with some modifications, Salamangreat is still positioned to be a top tier contender in this upcoming format!

[@lastzerk6311]

Super poly/fusion of fire is a typical side deck if you go look up Cameron neal deck lists for example that topped a lot with the deck. It’s only useful in the mirror match, or in situations going second to otk. It’s not the best maindeck card

[@machina5]

[@mattwhelan13]

I would put the chimera in the side seeing as the fusion spell is in there too and stick in a level 6 or 7 synchro to use with e-teli and ghost ogre seeing as it's a tuner. This could be dawn dragster to negate, black rose to dark hole or stardust charge warrior to draw a card. The synchro monster or the second stallio or the dweller could then be sided out for chimera depending on the match-up

[@mattcrow656]

I really enjoy your personal deck profiles please do more

[@J33zeus]

Thanks for the suggestions .

[@maouzen7109]

If you make another salamangreat deck profile, try changing secretary for 2 archiver; cyberse, lv3, special from hand OR grave. Love your vids, keep up the good work!

[@machina5]

"Not one, not two, but THREE copies of Solemn Judgment" I had to sit down, that was euphoria. I missed this card so much.

[@Zabbie17]

One of things I've been testing out and has been working out well is throwing in Jackalope and Snek to help the rank 3 spam. Mainly cause they're getting you deeper into your deck and salamangreat doesn't really care about discards (sometimes even welcomed).

Thank you so much! , You help me to complete my deck

[@george2991]

I like running Amphibious Swarmship Amblowhale in Salads as the link-4 monster personally. It's Fire, it offers removal, floating effect to revive a link monster and it can easily get over 3k attack in a deck like this, which link summons using monsters with the same name (and so fills the GY with link monsters), so it can take down some of the strongest boss monsters by battle. Not to mention it's a well cheap card for budget players :)

[@caseyrowe9629]

[@construct8295]

gazelle going to one was necessary. circle going to one was just unlucky

[@Eristocratt]

Unexpected but well predicted

[@george2991]

I kinda feel that without limiting Cyberse mining, the deck lost nothing but its budget friendliness. In the Berlin WCS, all top three competitors used pretty much identical Salad lists.

[@nils.18n]

Cimoo. I've included bagooska in the extra deck on top because I love him. So now I don't onow what to cut. The 3rd Balelynx or the 2nd Stallio?? What's your opinion and please explain. Me personally, I used to play 1 stallio and 2 balelynx... I think I make 3 balelynx 1/10 games or so... Same for 2nd stallio.

[@theebloo7777]

As a salam player with plenty of experience i would opt to drop the balelynx since it could be brought back in various ways. While having only 2 stallio it would really suck to get one of them hand trapped or something like that. Before the july banlist I thought it would be a good idea as well for 1 stallio and it got striked. So I would personally cut the balelynx since u still would have 2 and at most how often do u need to turbo out into a bale in one game?

[@Myron_The_Wolf]

I feel like with the loss of consistency, violet chimera might be necessary in the extra deck. I tried this build against sky striker and my resources wiltered away a lot faster than before the July banlist. The violet chimera win condition might be the thing that puts this deck back on top, especially since super poly is now at 3. Called by the grave is also even more important to this deck than it was before. Salamangreat plays are a lot more limited, so if they get ash'd, you might as well scoop.

[@elijahbuscho7715]

You need to run 2 rage and 2 jack jaguar. They are basically extra gazelles. Rage is your best card and your ideal opening is to draw gazelle, send rage, stallio into jack, set rage with relinked sunlight wolf. You often can't draw gazelle, and need to summon it off stallio. And then you have to choose whether to send jack OR rage. If you draw one, you can send the other and get the ideal opening anyways.

[@cardshark4362]

Thank you so much!!!

[@DarkFun25]

Been testing triple Crackdown in the main & I love it. We’ve slowed down anyway so why not?

[@thedemonofrazgriz3602]

I also use crackdown in the deck. Taking an opponent's Saryuja mid-combo on the opponent's turn is so satisfying

[@vgmaster02]

I can see fitting two in. Maybe drop a Judgment and the E-Tele for two Crackdown. At least, going by his build and adjusting some numbers.

[@pwny1000]

Incorrect. It’s a trap

[@ceasebenjaminbeast3947]

Opinion on sea archiver? Between cynet mining and flame bufferlo you have ample discard outlets

[@larrydastolfo9497]

Budget Option for Cynet Mining that has been useful for me - Widget Kid - Helps facilitate the Rank 3 Turbo

[@guilhermemarinho9861]

Cimo, what do you think of Avramax? In my opinion, is as good as Borreload

[@MaskoftheWraith]

Guilherme Marinho Funny story. I once had a showdown between Borreload and Avramax on ygopro2. My Avramax won. Somehow triggering its effect caused Borreload to miss timing with its snatch steal effect and it just crashed into Avramax for a nice 3k damage 👌

[@sirspookybones1118]

I personally play Avramax

[@811jdog]

I run both avramax and borrelload in my extra deck and I love having both options

[@kurtsell8376]

I play both, but once I was playing a Endymion dark magician player and Avermax killed the guy all on his own. I needed no other cards.

[@ceasebenjaminbeast3947]

@@MaskoftheWraith but borreload doesn't miss timing? Maybe borreload didn't have any zones available, it needs to place the monster in one of his vacant zones after all

[@ashfuller-lee9289]

I have a question... if somehow my friend manages to get a blue eyes chaos max dragon out what can I do to defeat it as the reincarnation link summon on heatleo won’t work because of chaos max not been affected would my best option be using flame chimera?

[@mikeymarkey]

Will you be doing one for Sky Strikers as well?

[@TheDukeCTL]

The deck works well until you eat a handtrap on Stallio, or any interruption on it really if you dont go first or open Gazelle.

[@coreyholliday1650]

My adapted list has 3 buffer 3 cynet 1 debug and max out on traps with 3 desires to keep drawing cards

[@vannzy5636]

The best alternative of phantazmy is probably pankratops, ik ik it's not a hand trap but it is a 2600 summon if you're going second or if you get your board wiped, and the best alternative to cynet mining is cynet backdoor

[@CJ-zu9iw]

Challenge: take a shot every time he says salamangreat lost consistency

[@edgatnavarro156]

What is tour thougts about "cynet backdoor" think it can work?

[@derekbackofen6]

By far one of my arc Types

[@vgmaster02]

Is Apollousa any good in the deck? Just wondering if she can be good as a disruptor.

[@guilhermemarinho9861]

It is good on everything that can perform decent spaming

[@noahpeace7253]

I've been trying a build I call "Salamanfloodgate" that really turns up the control aspect of the deck. I'm running the bare minimum for spells and I've been using stuff like anti spell, rivalry, and gozen. I've definitely seen some decent success with this type of build and I'm interested to see if anyone else has given this a shot

[@PyroBlitz.]

Try imperial order too. It's pretty deadly in salads as well

[@TheMoxyth]

Been playing Degrade Buster, the card is kinda like a bls. Also, with Diagust Emerald back i feel like it's better to replace the second copy of Stallio with it as it can reccure the Stallio in addition to drawing a card!

[@nitevision1703]

I'm surprised more people don't run Foolish Burial Goods in this deck, considering you can recover up to 2 in-archetype spells per turn, three if you set Roar by its effect. I was running a couple before the July list just to extend through Gazelle's hard OPT.

[@arkoner7057]

No called by the grave to protect your search/draw from circle/lady debug/cynet mining/flame bufferlo/foxy? You really need this to bring your combo out. Also you now play 1 fury of fire + will of the salamangreat instead of 2x copies of will of the salamangreat. But only if you play fennec also as an 1 off in here. You could also replace the 3x Pantazmay with 3x Called by the Grave. Also Avramax in testing is better than borrload because you can out every beatstick you want in your turn (what borrload can be outed easier). With 3x Flame Bufferlo you want to see him second more than first turn so playing at least 1 copy of fusion of fire would be good in this build or you play 2x Flame Bufferlo and have always a safer first turn. If you want to play Crusadia Reclusia in testing 2 is the best for going first however if you want to make going second go for 3x copies.

[@greyroot00]

I test widget kid+backup secretary just to smoke screen my opponent I play generic cyberse and negation bait

[@rjtorres9871]

Sea Archiver is also a good extender for this deck

[@clashblast3834]

[@icards7986]

I run beat bison I'm surprised more people don't. It's a main deck 2800 body that is easy to summon, off of its own effect or Will of the Salamangreat, and can negate multiple monsters while recycling your link monsters.

[@krash2094]

Thank you 🙏

[@basuka93]

There's any low budget option for cinet mining? Lol

[@zekondlyfe2555]

Thnx!!

[@timaeus22222]

No Called by the Grave? Also, I like using Time Thief Redoer, since I'm not rich enough to get 3 Phantazmays. I can usually steal a spell and draw a card that way. :-) If not, I can at least free up my Extra Monster Zone for later plays, and I can easily trigger Falco or get Jack Jaguar back into the GY on cue.

[@blakehill740]

If you just care about consistency and are willing to play the risk debug, I would encourage you to try summoner monk. Debug gets effect on special, so you special it off of summoner monk and go on with plays. Monk also goes into the almiraj link monster. Let me know if you are in favor of my idea.

[@yunusemreozen1967]

alright guys i have a question: how consistent would my deck be if i replaced cynet mining with 3 copies of cynet backdoor and took away phantazmays and solem judgement to get two of roar/rage and put one more will, 2 called by the grave also 2 of veiler, ghost ogre and ash (i could get 3 of veiler and ash tho)

[@blackjack2253]

I’m starting Yugioh and I’m hesitating between playing a Salamangrear or an Orcust deck. Wich one is the best for a beginner to understand ?

[@dce7845]

Orcust might be a little more affordable because it does not need to rely on Phantasmei or Cynet Mining for consistency. As far as how easy they are to understand... well id say they are both beginner friendly. Neither one has tooooo complicated of combos. There are ALOT of ways to build Orcust though. Its basically just a splashable engine that can be thrown into any given deck that easily puts 2 monsters on field. i.e. Trickstar, Danger, hell even blackwings. And given the only expensive card in the Orcust engine is Dingirsu which you only need 2 of... im gonna say Orcust. Salamangreat is amazing at what it does but isnt budget friendly anymore if you want to play the most consistent and competitive version whereas Orcust can be pretty competitive on a budget.

[@blackjack2253]

David Essl Yes I saw that Salamangreat was pretty expensive, I made myself a Zombie deck, it’s not to hard to understand for beginners
