I made top 16 cut at regionals with Runick Ice Barrier this weekend. Got 10th overall, Ice Barrier is slept on, and water support is Ice Barrier support...

[@ZeeAurami]

Good list. My only rebuttal is that branded gets indirect support in that it's basically a chaos fusion deck. The new light and darkness dragon cards slide nicely into the strategy without even adjusting combos. I'm sure there will be similar boosts in the future

[@757gamerguy2]

As a floo player, don’t sleep on that new Soul Exchange card. It’s literally a spell Kaiju and can easily cheat out Empen or Wicked Avatar

[@Gojukid]

@757gamerguy2 do u know if it works in monarchs? I was thinking about adding it but then having the opponent tribute summon as well can turn off my field spell so I was hesitant

[@OjamaIndigo]

I’m so happy that the two decks I was planning to build (Purrely and Labrynth) placed so high, really look forward to playing them, especially with how damn cheap Purrely is (the whole core is like $10)

[@IreallylovebeansandImatree]

purrely is realy good i would recomend @calebygo for great lists

[@ajax1200]

Yeah but Lab only got price this week throught the mega tin. From 200+ to 60 Euros. With unchained. But i Just bought IT and i have high hopes. But floo is also terrefieng good in my opinion for i guess 50 Euros. I mean you can win easy against fireking. And ein against tenpai or runic but i dont know how you Play against snakeeyes or yubel but i guess you can Play pretty Solid.

[@carrotswordgaming3483]

8:47 An Eldlich deck topped my locals thrice recently

[@SilverGaming01]

Honestly, and I have bias here as a dedicated player, go HERO. Despite having an unwieldy engine with several choke points, if you can get to full board, you have a board state your opponent will struggle to deal with. Multiple pops from DPE and Shining Neos Wingman, plus a one-sided Macro Cosmos with hand rip from Dark Law and a one-sided Skill Drain from Plasma. Plus the deck is looking to be absolutely cracked once Supreme Darkness releases, with new searchers, combo lines, boss monsters, and even more fusion options.

[@metaggrit]

Dark World literally has YCS tops in Tier 0 Snake format. Idk why you think it's bad. You shoulda seen the lists topping too. No Ty-phons, no S:P Little Knights, and if I remember right no Appo. Dark World murders the meta going 2nd. It's the only deck that easily and consistently breaks full SE board.

[@candy9997]

I play dark world but how does it consistently break full se boards and what does se stand for

[@metaggrit]

@candy9997 Because they aren't once per turn effects. So if you play a good list you can break the whole board with Grapha and Dangers before committing to the field. Even if you commit to the field early DW can just eat up interruptions before going for Hyang/Zeus, and then leaving Overlord on field. The only way SE wins that matchup is if you hard brick or they get to Droll before you can resolve Dragged Down or Accession. SE stands for Snake-Eye. I'm not saying it's a good matchup if you aren't an expert. You still have to think to win, but DW is a great budget deck

[@candy9997]

[@royalegaming4148]

@@benx2397 Ik right?

[@thecalieffect]

I wouldn't say top 5, but remember there are various factors in play for the tier list, like is the deck getting new support and how much longer does it have (Life span)

[@EnderianVR]

@@thecalieffect remember, branded gets indirect support through other fusion decks or decks that just need a piece in grave like voiceless voice.

[@MoodyBlag]

The new support for goblins is good

[@thecalieffect]

@@EnderianVR could have sworn I said that.

[@crimsonphoenix2094]

Ok, the Raidraptor placing is just wrong. If your only argument putting it where you did is because your Raidraptor locked isn't correct since the only card that RR locks you is Fuzzy Lanius. You can just not play it, and you'll still have enough extenders with cards like Bloom Vulture, Strangle Lanius, Singing Lanius, Heel Eagle, and Pain Lanius. If anything, you're primarily dark locked, so a PK engine would work. The only problem with this is Nibiru. But if your 5th Summon is still Arsenal Falcon, you're still good. Having access to Swallow's Cowrie is fantastic since it dodges certain handtraps like Imperm and Veiler. Ash feels kinda irrelevant since if you have an extender in hand, you're good. The only issues I see are just the Bystials and anything that makes you lose your GY. Also, having access to 2-3 towers against your opponent is just amazing. So that's my argument for Raidraptor to be placed in at least "Takes a good pilot."

[@thecalieffect]

Not that's not my only argument. 1. 0 Tops since we left PHNI Format 2. Ridiculously weak to hand traps in a format where hand traps are commonly played. Arsenal Falcon is not a threat. Swallow's Crowie does not solve Imperm/Effect Vieler on Raider's Knight (the correct choice). 3. Needs 2-3 card hands in which if your normal summon gets interrupted then it becomes even more difficult. 4. very rigid deck that doesn't do anything outside of summoning a towers. I've been playing the deck since it came out. A good pilot would be a deck that rewards you for your effort while Raid Raptor requires you to be a great player, your opponent to have little/no knowledge, and for you to be put in situations where draw perfect + opp has no answers.

[@crimsonphoenix2094]

@thecalieffect yeah true. If you can cope on a deck, then so can I dammit. Also, didn't a Raidraptor deck get first place at a WCQ? I swear I saw the list on Twitter/X

[@thecalieffect]

We're both coping together. I wish they were so much better and no, not that I know of.

[@testifacatehour101]

Once yubel gets hit RR coming back BABY

[@joccles9982]

@thecalieffect I feel like that same logic can be applied to RDA yet you put that a tier above. One imperm on red rising and you’ve cooked RDA, unless they draw those 2-3 card hands which is the same scenario as raidraptor. All respect here, I love both those decks and play them frequently but it just doesn’t make sense to me to put them in different tiers. RDA is slightly more capable of playing through interruption with the right hand but I don’t think it’s a tiers worth of difference imo!

[@CarlosGonzalez-ig4xy]

Dinos are still great imo because you can make a big ass board Colossus, Laggia, UCT, and the field spell is nuts and one last thing Misc can be recycled and searched easily so to me dinos are great 🔥🔥🔥

[@AJANI97]

please share our list for the Dino gang

[@key_of_destiny4712]

11:11 as a Millennium Exodia player, let me tell you all, it’s not difficult to be a good pilot to this deck. Its combo and strategy is very one note, and how you play your side deck, which contains a bunch of generics, is basically the strategy. I’ve topped locals with it, but usually that’s just from me playing traditional stun strategies like using Shifter or the Secret Village lock. Most meta decks have a work around for those strats, but if you’re used to playing any stun deck, you’ll feel right at home with this one. The rest of the strategy is just knowing when to activate the Fires of Rage trap to stop combos. My last piece of advice, if they imperm your exodia, just let it happen. Odds are if they’re doing that, they have Talents. It’s better to risk it and keep your trap active than letting them take your exodia for nothing.

[@ricotaline]

We need that RDA field spell card !

I gotta say, i kinda wanna get back into the game since a number of decks just seem really fun to play

[@kammxd4325]

I can say you definitely miss Virtual world, the deck is amazing right now, can be put under 50 bucks I have played the deck for 3 formats and while some times you just get tier 1, I tend to steal a lot of games from Yubel, it's a solid choice that will never get hit and we get more support with rank 6 and any dragon Synchro

[@casketbase7750]

Blue-Eyes Of The Heart is in Rage Of The Abyss, and it allows the Exodia deck to summon Chaos Angel on the opponent's turn. All you need is Hop-Ear Squadron, which the deck plays already (along with Noble Knight's Shield Bearer to search it). I'm optimistic.

[@alicegotlost8369]

Love the vid and all the inclusions Cali! Very expansive and lots of options for players to choose from. My personal cope take is virtual world, whilst its not as efficient needing 2 card combos, dragoon, final sigma, tolkien for synchro wing, and shenshen being a one sided psuedo macro is pretty good! I got my list for just under $50 excluding a couple staples so pretty budget! Imperm and veiler are also pretty weak against the deck.

[@jaceofspades6721]

Maybe I'm biased because I play Blackwings, but bro. They're certainly better than noodles. Kanak puts in the finest of work with them, and shows how good they really are.

[@peterzelaya9948]

@@jaceofspades6721 Kanak sounds like an exceptional player. Key word being exception. Generally speaking the average duelist with practice can be good. But that's not enough in this meta.

Goblins doing a 1-card 5 interruption combo is still nutty my guy

[@jacobwoodard818]

When Ryzeal comes out I think I'll play it with a small Azamina package. Unlike Snake-Eyes the deck already has a Tour Guide and a walking Monster Reborn if I get Drolled and if I don't Azamina gives me the ability to effortlessly play around D. Barrier by giving half the materials I need for I:P and a monster negate. Keep in mind you technically only need Deception and Sacred Azamina and Diabellestar and Wanted only help you get to Deception more easily. I would probably choose to have 2-3 Diabellestar though because she can be the other half I:P. If you don't get Drolled you go into Mu add back the Deception Sacred shuffled into the deck, fusion summon Rhea with Sacred because Sacred isn't once per turn, and all of this is why Snake-Eyes Fiendsmith Azamina becomes the best deck next format. Think about it shuffling back Wanted or Original after using them can be huge. You can main deck 1 Original and never run out of Original. Snake-Eyes grind game is hurt severely but its end boards after having their board broke is cheeks if you aren't running a 2nd S:P.

Goblin biker is definitely a solid choice and it’s really not that hard to run with plenty of interruptions I’m still seeing and finding builds that keep surprising me.

[@jacobwoodard818]

Honestly I think Dark World is better than people think. A lot of people say that Droll kills the deck when actuality its more so the player. I put up a Branded (without Nightmare) level board and had multiple hand traps but lost even though I hit them with Droll. This means Droll definitely hurts the deck buts a far cry from killing it. Nibiru doesn't really work against Dark World because you have line that get you Photon Lord or the Grapha fusion monster. The only thing deck is guaranteed to lose to is Shifter. The only the deck won't do under Droll is compete with Tearlament and Snake-Eyes and Ryzeal.

[@thedoctormario_]

unfortunately, silhouhatte rabbit does not pair with sera. sera activates under normal spells, not continuous traps. plus to get to rabbit in trix you need multiple extenders to even be able to make it. unless you make it first instead of raff, but then youre open to nib. the only realistic way to make rabbit is with exceed but then we just bring up the exceed vs shade argument all over again.

A deck that requires two card combos while also having half the deck you don't want to draw (archosaur,UCT, meterous, scrap raptor and chimera,double evolution pill, kaitoptera, list goes on). Yes those cards can come in handy in certain scenarios but not when you need 2 cards to combo, then another two cards to play when the first 2 get interrupted.
