Yu-Gi-Oh! Undefeated 5-0 HERO Deck Profile! Post September Ban list | New Format (Blake HERO)

[@CymorgX]

Love the build. Nice choice on going pot. With it at 1 there is zero reason to not play it. Ive actually been playing adusted + dark calling. M Bane has won me so many games as of late. Especially after FD. It allowed me to stall against tempai. Lost to centurion pre banlist. My locals is all Snake eye/ yubel/ tempai / all those super T1 decks. You and Carlos are the only two guys i truly trust when it comes to builds and advice for hero’s!

[@BlakeHERO]

The evil HEROs are so cool but at the moment I just don’t want to add the dark calling brick into the deck for another field wipe that the deck already has no problem dealing with. I do like it tho just don’t want to add another brick in the dark calling. I appreciate that! Me and Carlos talk sometimes and discuss card choices. I appreciate you enjoying our content!

[@jediwildheart1353]

Thats what my locals looks like too. I was debating on MB again.

[@YukiHeroYGO]

Let's mess around with some kuriboh action :) The take on eclipse was super interesting, hadn't think of that! Also, Dangerous makes sense in the absence of Liquid (sadge). We literally had the same thought on Prosperity and I think that's funny (also I feel smart, cause I look up to you a lot). Sad news for me is I kinda retired from playing the game, I am tired after 20 years! I wanna think about more important stuff now, but keep playing HERO online and Master Duel makes me happy anyway :) Sending lots of love, have a good one, Champion!

[@BlakeHERO]

Kuriboh has been great and super reliable for me, definitely much better than I originally thought especially with the direction I have taken the deck. I think prosp is so strong in this deck I had to be sure I gave it the time in the video to explain it and I really appreciate that. No worries friend! No one ever really retires, you'll be back in no time and I always appreciate your support! Thank you for watching!

Thanks for talking about taking out Blast. People now know better than to react to Stratos. They're catching onto our Mask Change dodge. I haven't seen Blast in so long and I dont really miss him.

Shadow Mist really needs a rarity upgrade. One of the most used core card ever in HEROs but nothing has changed since day 1. Konami are you slacking on this?

[@BlakeHERO]

@@xRafahl HERO is extremely Xenophobic meaning you can't play HERO with other archetypes because cards like Cross crusader, Infernal Devicer and Faris lock you into HEROs for either the entire turn or rest of turn. The fiendsmith chimera deck plays 1 adusted gold and 1 sinister necrom though.

Great video! I’ve been meaning to test prosperity for a little now only I think I’d struggle with picking the right things to banish 😅. Definitely makes me want to learn though.

It is very hard! Only way to learn is to make mistakes and take notes of what you should have done differently and learn from it. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@Mister_E_Gaming]

Hi Blake! I’ve recently been getting into competitive YuGiOh with a friend of mine and I play HEROs too. Seeing the new support with Yubel and Yubel winning Worlds, I’m wondering how viable a deck using both Yubel and HEROs would work considering Infernal Rage could search Eternal Favorite and Favorite Hero (with Favorite Hero being able to activate Nightmare Throne) and there’s Neos Wiseman and Neos Kluger too. I’d love to see if you could make a profile based on these, possibly using some neo-spacians and Cosmo Neos

[@BlakeHERO]

Unfortunately, I think yubel and HERO have pretty much 0 synergy together, and I believe you are just playing a subpar version of both decks, there is nothing wrong with having fun with trying to mix the two but as it is probably not very competitive I probably will not explore further. I wish I could be of more help man; I apologize! Thank you for watching and commenting anyway.

[@Mister_E_Gaming]

@@BlakeHERO hey I appreciate the help nonetheless! I haven’t really been able to find anybody try it out except a video by Slifer Red HERO and I was testing a version of it out on Master Duel last night and wasn’t doing the best with it, but I did have a few good matches with it so I’m gonna test it out some more. It might have more potential with the new Evil HERO support that’s coming out. Either way, your videos are really helpful for my HERO plays so I appreciate your work!

[@BlakeHERO]

@@Mister_E_Gaming It does seem really fun but just super conflicting being that the really good HERO cards lock you and that includes most of the Evil HERO cards. I appreciate your support anyway!

Great video, time to release the Liquid Soldier one now 🥳

[@BlakeHERO]

That will be next!

[@SeekerCSGO]

Very nice deck list!

[@BlakeHERO]

Glad you enjoyed! Please subscribe for more HERO content!

[@JDogth3Wise]

Tried this setup last weekend, and overall I do like it. Using the liquid search for plasma or dark angel every time made for consistently annoying boards. I ran into one duel where not having the extra attribute made things awkward, but 1 game out of 12 is still pretty good odds. I still haven't gotten lucky with the prosperity, but I know that's just RNG at play.

[@BlakeHERO]

Generally in the spots you would grab liquid if you need an attribute you can always grab stratos instead. Prosp has a very high precent to see what you need, sometimes you get unlucky but you can always banish 6 to help get that luck in your favor. Glad you are enjoying the list though!

[@raffymundo]

[@kolzvlait6442]

are you ever ganno record live duel? we would love to see that

[@BlakeHERO]

I actually have a few live duels recorded, they just take a long time to edit and I have had different videos that I am more passionate about making, they will be released eventually though!

[@pietroceccariglia]

I sincerely prefer a 50+ version of the deck with e-calls, more mask change, blazeman and crossout/EN-shuffle. But the good thing of this deck is that you can play it in a lot of different ways and still works

[@BlakeHERO]

I have seen, played and tested higher deck counts before, the fact of the matter is that you will see specific nonengine a lot less and this deck really need to see its power spells in AHL and FD. Fortunately, we are getting another power spell soon making higher deck counts much better in my opinion, but we are also getting mulcharmmy meaning we need to see our specific outs more which would lean towards the logic of lower deck count. I actually have a list that I am messing around with now that is much more E HERO heavy, but I always did not like how bricky EN shuffle feels. Hopefully I do well at some point so I can show it off! I hope this gives you another way to look at it! Appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@LightslashGamingRocks]

Is there any specific reason we dont run E- Emergency call? I feel like itd be a safe add to the deck since it shouldnt be a brick since it can always draw into stratos or shadowmist. Even just running it at 1 or 2?

[@BlakeHERO]

It's really not needed as the deck is already super consistent. Prosp/rota/foolish all fill similar roles but they are better because they are more versatile. I hope this helps!

[@kegra0]

Hey! Do you record your matches? I would like to watch them so I can learn other things then just memorized combos.

[@BlakeHERO]

I sorta do! I record when I play on Friday nights (has not been too much recently) and I really cherry pick matches to upload where it is either a really good match or there is something to learn. Unfortunately, a lot of games of yugioh are really boring to watch in my eyes because it is either super one sided or it is just comparing hands if that makes sense. This will take time to edit and cherry pick games I am proud of and there is merit to showing them off. I also am not just super passionate about live duels but it is highly requested, so I am working on this now! My videos take a long time because I like to be extremely proud of the product. Thank you for watching and asking the question and I will do my best to bring this for you guys!

[@wowhunter321]

Any chance you can record some live duels in the future? Would love to see you pilot the deck at locals and see how you use some of the non-engine to interact with your opponents field

[@BlakeHERO]

Absolutely! It is something I am working on but I am definitely less passionate about recording my matches than making other kinds of content as well as these taking a longer time to edit and such. I know a lot of people want to see this so I will work on this!

[@cali8196]

is there a reason why you prefer dark ruler over evenly? evenly has much better synergies with droplet

[@BlakeHERO]

DRNM lets you keep your BP if they are able to negate it while evenly does not is the main difference. DRNM is good as a 1st or 2nd breaker in the format at the moment with desirae existing while evenly is the best 3rd breaker if that makes sense. Their board can stop 2 but not 3 and evenly clears. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@jediwildheart1353]

Also, i need to see the Dark Angel combo, I never ran that card and i want to try but I keep hearing its bad this format.

[@BlakeHERO]

It's better than it was because Snake eyes was the best deck and played a generic link1 and they could just link away the angel. I will add this to the queue for content!

[@takitakasca2660]

Can you explain your siding pattern to us, the choices, as well as the cards you potentially take out of your deck?

I can try! I usually mention generic siding patterns as this would be something super subjective for each matchup and hard to do unless I put a picture of what I took out for each matchup I played for the day? Let me know if you think that would work!

[@juliocalvar3z]

Great video bro, can you please do some siding patterns that's my main opportunity when playing the deck

Can't understand the prosperity why we wait the card to be limited and be like hey i can play thus

[@BlakeHERO]

I have played it before in the side but overlooked it, as well as like every other HERO player. I just recently figured out how broken this card is in HERO until SUDA and now it looks like it is becoming a popular choice! There are plenty of times in yugioh where something is discovered late into a format and completely changes it. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@leonardoapollonio6243]

I know this question might be too specific... But what if you knew you played against Despia? Would you maintain your strategy and stick with board breakers or switch to Handtraps? And if so, which ones? Thank you!!

[@BlakeHERO]

Breakers can work against despia but if they really know what they are doing you have to keep them from getting to "Branded Lost". Ash, imperm on lubellion + droplet can completely cook them. Also depending on how they play (I watch Pak/other pros play this deck a lot) DRNM is actually pretty good against them as well. D.D crow is also another fantastic option. Now notice this is all for going 2nd, if we go 1st dark angel completely cooks them unless they draw a bystial or droplet. They usually also play a higher count list so them drawing these specific answers is a lower %. Hope this helps! Thank you for watching/commenting.

[@leonardoapollonio6243]

Thanks a lot my guy!!! Really appreciate it

[@leonardoapollonio6243]

My friend, who I usually play against, plays Despia at times and ever since I absolutely cooked him with Dark Angel, he's sided in a Link-1, making DA not an option anymore unfortunately lol

[@BlakeHERO]

@@leonardoapollonio6243 Well luckily if he is playing a standard list of branded, if they link summon it turns off branded fusion which is their biggest blowout tool. The rest of the deck is very manageable with our setup.

[@MrVergil9000]

love the build, what is your generic side patterns for going second? i kind of understand what to side for going first, but i wanted to be sure im siding properly

[@BlakeHERO]

Generally I take out called by, Wklv6, , stratos, for the two thrust + evenly, but it changes depending on the matchup!

[@MrVergil9000]

​@@BlakeHERO Thanks, i tried your build at a tourney it performed very well. I made mistakes but that was due to not playing the deck IRL alot, but i see the potential. in terms of deck total, if u had to make the deck 42, what 1 card would you add? Talents. I'm currently testing 1 Talents or 1 extra polymerization. i like the talents more for flexibility.

[@annalieestrabaofont760]

also Liquid Chain blocks Flame Wingman, i think thats the bigest adventage it coul bring to the deck

[@BlakeHERO]

At the point in which you would chain block flame wingman they have probably already used the ash or they are holding it for something else. Honestly if they ash this it's not the biggest deal in the world, I don't see it coming up very much at all to warrant playing another card you really don't want to draw and I have not missed it at all.

Going 1st DPE/favorite contact solos these decks. Going 2nd solidifying DPE works and stratos pop will really mess them up.

[@BlakeHERO]

Deck lockdown just kinda fulfills a completely different role than droplet, deck lockdown is a going 1st floodgate and droplet is a board breaker. It might just take some getting used to because going 2nd is much harder in Yugioh than going 1st. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@Ninja_Bryden]

Last time I played ygo on paper was like in 2017 and I was always wondering what exactly is your game plan if Vyon's poly search is stopped ever since I've been following ygo more again. I feel like that's the deck's BIGGEST bottleneck.

[@BlakeHERO]

You have a lot of ways to circumvent this weakness, vyon is definitely the bottleneck but the deck is fundamentally flawed compared to other decks in the fact it needs a fusion spell to unlock the extra deck while most meta decks just need to throw as many bodies on the board as possible. Eclipse, mask changes, playing without your normal summon to summon another vyon, fusion destiny, mulitple polys, blazeman are a lot of ways to reduce this bottleneck. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@Ninja_Bryden]

@BlakeHERO I do definitely think Evil HERO might all but almost negate that weakness entirely. They have a gazillion Evil Fusion searchers lmao. Maybe Vyon could show up later in combos or something.

[@BlakeHERO]

@@Ninja_Bryden It depends on what your build is, I am using the cards as a way to play without normal summoning to then grab faris or just normal summon vyon. It's going to make it so we can play without our normal summon which always leaves the threat of a vyon normal summon, that's why I think 3 will be important post SUDA

[@Ninja_Bryden]

@@BlakeHERO Yep. Opening up that bottleneck by allowing us to access fusions outside of just drawing well or being able to activate Vyon is gonna help a ton. Definitely think Evil HERO is gonna be the way to go, and I heard we might be going towards 60 car HERO builds or at least close to that.

[@BlakeHERO]

@@Ninja_Bryden It will really depend, you can play still a lower count which is what I think I will be doing and basically using the Evil HERO cards without the bricks as a way to play without normal summoning, then if you get stopped you can simply just normal summon vyon and full combo from there. I am very excited about these cards because playing without your normal summon is a attribute a lot of top decks have! There is a reason AHL and FD are our best cards

[@timothyzeiler2902]

40 cards? what can I swap the 2 wake up for? only have one copy

[@pivotchampion]

When you dont get dark angel on field, whats typically your play when getting evenlyed?

[@BlakeHERO]

This was one of the main reasons for judgment in the side, if I do get evenlyd matchup depending you will use DPE to pop and leave either Dark law/Favorite contact whichever is stronger and have that as your only card left. DPE will activate his eff to come back next SP. You will either have Dark law that trades with a lot of cards to be outed or have FC which will trade with many cards too. You will be playing a bit of a game there and it is not always a guaranteed win, but the guaranteed fact that you live the turn means you can come back turn 3 and deal lethal. I hope this helps!

Hey bro! Any reason you don’t use E-emergency call ?

[@Daldi564]

Mainly due to Droll & Lock Bird being so prevalent in the format. Additionally, ROTA is more flexible since it can get any Warrior monster whereas E Call is Elemental HERO specific. Neos is obtainable through Infernal Devicer while it's best to use Shadow Mist with the DPE/Wake Up combo either in End Phase or if your opponent is going to Nib you since the condition for that effect is when you Special Summon 5 or more times so you can chain onto the tribute part of the effect.

It used to be much much worse! Wake up is also getting a reprint next week that should help that

I think Dark Ruler isn't good in HEROs. HEROs are best at OTK'ing and Dark Ruler disables that. Our end board, ehile powerful, is rather fragile, so it's much better to push for the OTK than use Dark Ruler and give the opponent another turn.

[@BlakeHERO]

OTKing is not going to happen very much through boards, you have to play DRNM to even have a chance to beat that board, simply put nothing does what DRNM does as it is such a high impact card being that in 9 nonengine you will only open 1-2 most games. Our board going 2nd with plasma is so good that they most of the time cannot crack it because of the number of resources they use to actually setup that board. As long as decks like Yubel, SE and other decks that setup these crazy boards are around DRNM is absolutely mandatory to even give you a chance. thank you for commenting and bringing it up though, because I see this take a lot!

[@E-HeroZachary]

Gonna have to disagree with this. DRNM is 100% essential in my experience. I main deck 2 myself and have seen success competitively against the meta. Sure you can't OTK, but at the very least you're breaking their board and setting up an unreal board yourself for the follow up OTK

I know the hero community respects Blake but what’s the hype? All he does is top locals lmao

[@BlakeHERO]

Honestly that's all I have been to in the past year and ever since I started my own channel, I have not been able to go to many events bigger besides Nationals this year but I have had some success in the past if you look up my name! I have topped case tourneys, OTS Championships as well as regionals in the past. I am trying to change that this year though by planning on going to some YCSs as well as more regionals! I also don't think tops are the only thing of what makes a good player, I think talking theory and deck building strengths go a long way too. Also, should mention that my locals is full of very good players, YCS champion, regional winners/regional toppers, so when I do super well at one I do take it as a small accomplishment haha. I appreciate the comment anyway!

His theory and understanding of comp play is generally good and is usually spot on, unlike most other yugitubers or hero pet deckers, or just pet deckers in general. So based on those reason his hero lists, opinions and theory are generally taken more seriously.

[@Ubetterrecognize]

put some respect on his name

[@BlakeHERO]

I appreciate it y'all but I can see where he is coming from, if you have not followed me from Facebook or other KZbin channels I can def see his perspective if it is a serious inquiry.

[@TeamOverTheEdge]

Good work!
