#canonask Steven, what kind of deck do you use when you play yu-gi-oh?

Steven: "A slightly modified version of the Zombie Horde deck."

Mod: The edit is the addition of a second zombie world, a terraforming a tutan mask, and swords of revealing light.

(edit 2, added Black rose dragon, Gaia saber, the lightning shadow, decode talker and decode talker extended, vampire sucker, saryuja skull dread to the extra deck... monster reborn, a 2nd anti spell fragrance, a solemn strike, Ash blossom and joyous spring, ghost Belle and haunted Mansion, ghost reaper and winter Cherries, and ghost sister and spooky dogwood to the main deck... and finally ghost ogre and snow rabbit, red blossoms from underroot, and obelisk the tormenter to the side deck)

Fruits Continued...

Blueberry:

Blueberries are rounded blue berries that grow on shrubs with white or pale pink bell shaped flowers, these shrubs prefer acidic soil and plenty of light and are native to North America. Blueberries are green when unripe and then turn white-pink before finally turning blue-purple when ripe. Blueberries are sweet and juicy to taste and are often made into jellies and jams. When fermented Blueberries can be used to make wine or cider. Blueberry can be used to treat cataracts and glaucoma as well as ulcers, urinary tract infections, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, colic, fever, varicose veins and hemorrhoids. Blueberry can also be used to improve blood circulation and as a laxative although when dried the fruit and leaves can treat diarrhoea. Blueberry root tea can be used to treat labour pains in childbirth and as a tonic after miscarriage. Tea made from dried Blueberry leaves can ease sore throats. Burning dried Blueberry flowers is thought to calm the mind and can be made into incense for ritual use.

Cherry:

Cherries are small spherical red berries that grow on Cherry blossom and other Cherry trees. Cherries are members of the rose family. Cherries have a sweet juicy taste and are often used in making jellies and jams and fermented Cherry produces alcohol for use in wines and ciders. Characteristically Cherries contain “stones” in their centre which is the seed, this can be carved to use as a runstone are in amulets and as usually symbolises pregnancy and fertility and can be used as an effigy in curses attempting cause miscarriage. Cherry blossom is particularly fragrant and can be used to produce insences often related symbolically to love and fertility. Cherries can promote good sleep, treat gout and lower the risks of heart disease. Cherries are very anti-inflammatory and can be used to reduce painful inflammations and stiff joints.

Chilli Pepper:

Chilli Peppers are members of the nightshade family and were originally native to Mexico before becoming more wide spread, the Chilli is a long or bulbous fruit usually green, yellow, orange or red in colour. Chilli Peppers contain a mostly hollow inside full of small seeds and the outer cortex of the Chilli Pepper is known for its intense flavour of heat used as a spice in cooking. Different Chilli Peppers have different levels of heat with the hotest variety known being the California Reaper Pepper. Chilli Peppers are associated with the Sun and Mars for their colour and firey nature relating them to passion and aggression, Chilli Spices and incense can be used to attempt to inspire passion or in curses related to burning and stinging sensations. Chilli Peppers have pain relief effects and are good for clearing up coughs, sore throats and colds. Since Chilli Peppers are high in Copper it is possible that they may act as birth control. Chilli Peppers have antioxidant effects which is good for the heart.

Coconut:

Coconuts are not actually nuts but fruit which grows on palm trees. The Coconut derives its name from the Spanish word “Coco” meaning “Skull” due to the three indentations on a Coconut which slightly resembles the eye sockets and nasal passage of a skull. Coconuts are hard shelled and begin as green-yellow coloured spherical or oval fruits which mature into hairy brown fruits. Coconut has an inner layer of moist white flesh that has a sweet taste and an internal pool of sweet white Coconut milk. Coconut flesh and milk can be processed into oil and soap while the outter shell and hairs can be used as charcoal or as fibers. Interesting the name Coconut may also be related to hispanic myths of witches or ghosts called cocos. Coconut is traditionally used by islanders to anoint their bodies in Coconut oil which is now a common place cosmetic item used in skin and hair care. Since the Coconut leaves a husk behind it can be related to Qlipothic practices and used to symbolise individual Qlipha and their cortex’s while the Coconut palm tree is often itself refered to as a Tree of Life due to its many varied uses. The sap of the Coconut palm can be drunk and also fermented into alcoholic wines or vinegars. Coconut shell and husks can be burned to repel bugs. Coconut shells are also used to create musical instruments which alongside their breast-like attributes of being rounded and full of milk seem to pair them well with Venus and the element of water which is interesting since native fisherman often offer coconuts to the sea and lakes at the start of new fishing seasons in the hope of gaining favour from the Gods and a bountiful catch. In Hinduism the Coconut is a symbol of wealth associated with the Goddess Lakshmi. The Coconut may also symbolise a womb as it is used in this capacity in Hindu weddings further cementing the connection to Goddesses and fertility. Coconut contains Copper and so could work as birth control in women if enough Copper could be gained from eating it. Coconut palm roots can be used as mouthwash and as a toothbrush and may help to treat diarrhoea and inflammation in the intestines.

Cranberry:

Cranberries are the berries of evergreen dwarf shrubs that live in marshland and bogs these plants have dark pink flowers while the berries start off as an unripe green and change to red with ripeness. Cranberry is sweet but acidic in flavour. Cranberry fruit can be turned into jellies or juice drinks and can be fermented into alcoholic wines. Cranberries are harvested been Autumn and Winter and are often associated with festivals such as Christmas. Cranberries are antioxidant meaning they are good for the heart and skin. Cranberries can be good for preventing urinary tract infections and may be good for treating diabetes.

Cucumber:

Cucumbers are long slightly phallic green fruits which grow on vines. Cucumbers have a moist savoury taste as 95% of the Cucumber is water. Cucumbers were used by the Romans to cure scorpion venom and were associated with fertility, women wishing to concieve wore then around their waist likely due to the slightly phallic shape of the plant as Cucumbers were as commonly used as natural dildos in ancient times as they are today associating them strongly with masculine energy and fertility which could also suggest that they may have been thought to relieve impotence. Cucumbers are also commonly used for skin care and can also help blood clot when eaten, improve the immune system and help the heart, lungs and kidneys to function properly.

Date:

Dates are the fruit of date palm trees, they are small and oval in shaped being yellow or red in colour and have smooth fleshy skin. Dates are very sweet to taste being about 75% sugar when dried. Dates can be fermented to make alcoholic wine. Dates contain a small stone in their centre which can be carved and made into runes and also symbolises fertility and pregnancy and thus can be used as a curse effigy in curses meant to cause miscarriage. Dates produce oil which can be used in the creation of soap and cosmetics for skin care. Dates can be processed chemically to produce biological acids. The leaves of date palms relate to palm Sunday in Christianity and are excellent sources of fibre, palm leaves also have a nice fragrance which can be used in incense. In ancient Rome dates symbolised victory, most other sources on the symbolism of dates relates to Judaic, Christian and Islamic theology where they are often attributed Tree of Life symbolism. Dates are antioxidant meaning they are good for the heart, brain and skin. Dates contain around 18% Copper so they may be useful in birth control for women however Dates are also useful in child birth and labour as they are believed to promotr cervical dialation which helps shorten labour periods.

Dragon Fruit:

Dragon Fruit is the fruit of certain species of cacti from tropical regions. Dragon Fruit takes its name from its apperance of having spiked scales around its spherical cortex, the Dragon Fruit is bright pink, red or yellow with a soft white flesh within specked black with small seeds. Dragon Fruit is mildly sweet but mostly bland. Dragon Fruit is antioxidant meaning it is good for the heart, brain and skin. Dragon Fruit is good for the gut and may also be good for treating diabetes.

Eggplant:

Eggplants are oval or pear-shaped puple fruits with white fleshy innards. Eggplants are also known as “Aubergines”. Eggplants are part of the nightshade family and have white or purple six-pointed flowers which along with the Eggplants leaves are toxic when ingested, the Eggplant is associated with insanity in Egyptian folklore and this may be due to toxic effects of coming into contact with the flowers or leaves suggesting that the toxin may be absorbed through the skin, it is also known that some people are allergic to Eggplant. Eggplant tastes bland but absorbs other flavours well making it useful in cooking. Eggplants may balance blood sugar levels making them useful in treating diabetes. Eggplants are high in antioxidants making them good for the heart, brain and skin. Eggplants may promote weight loss and has good potential for treating cancers.

Elderberry:

Elderberries are small purple-black or red spherical fruits that grow on large shrubs which have clusters of small five-pointed white flowers. Elderberries must be cooked before being eaten as all parts of the plant are toxic including the uncooked berries. Elderberries are tart and bitter when raw but sweet to taste when cooked. Despite being highly toxic and taking its name from witchcraft practices (hence “elder”) the Elder tree is thought to give protection from witchcraft and can thus be employed in antimagic while other folklores suggest that witches congregate under the plant likely harvesting its toxins. Cutting down Elder trees was thought to provoke a spirit called the “Elder Mother” who would launch a metaphysical attack or curse against the the one who had chopped down the tree in some such myths witches were thought to become Elder Trees in life or in death. Elderberries are thought to relieve flu like symptoms and constipation when made into tea.

Mistaken Accusation ———————————————— If your opponent has more total cards in their hand and their side of the field than you do: Target 1 face-up card on the field; neither player can activate cards with that name, or their effects, for the rest of this Duel, except that target. You can only activate 1 "Mistaken Accusation" per turn. ———————————————— Can Be Found In: Breakers of Shadow (BOSH-EN068), 2016 Mega-Tin Mega Pack (MP16-EN222)

The most popular Trap Cards and Quick-Play Spells are those able to answer every situation during a Duel, overall becoming efficient no matter the opponent's actions. However, while this clearly makes players ignore cards with activation requeriments, they can become more powerful than the mainstream choices. A famous card like "Mirror Force" might have lost prevalence over the years, yet there's no doubt that despite a specific condition it can become one of the most devastating cards of the game. Many other cards take this route with less or more complex requeriments, becoming either heavily disruptive or turning the tables for most of the Duel.

"Mistaken Accusation" is a card capable of ruining entire Decks under the right conditions, as can become one of the strongest tools to negate effects with. Requiring for the opponent to own more cards than we do in both field and hand, "Mistaken Accusation" will target a face-up card on the field. This won't negate the target's effect(s), but rather all other uses of said card will become completely forbidden for the rest of the Duel. With a rough condition and not negating any threats at the moment of activation "Mistaken Accusation" is easily forgotten over other options, yet if we have knowledge of which cards the opponent likes to exploit it can complete shut down entire strategies on its own.

The conditions to activate "Mistaken Accusation" might seem a very complex card to work with, but is actually simpler than it looks. In a game that any player can easily spend several cards in a single turn, we can start Duels by investing materials and other resources to prepare our field with a few yet powerful cards. Otherwise is up to the opponent's Deck itself, as some will either try to keep a big hand or prepare a heavy field with both monsters and backrow. The card count goes further when involving the Extra Deck, with some opponent's trying to swarm the field by Link Summon and/or Pendulum Summon among other mechanics. To further assure its use, we can work along cards like "Effect Veiler" and "Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring" to not only discard them and assure the Spell Card's activation, but also shut down the target's effects before is too late. Similarly, bouncing effects such as "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" or "Compulsory Evacuation Device" will target the card "Mistaken Accusation" will aim for as said card becomes useless for the rest of the Duel.

If we know the Deck we're facing against beforehand, we will know which are the best targets to choose for "Mistaken Accusation". Staple cards featured in most Decks will become the safe choice to work with, like recurring management effects like "Pot of Desires" or "World Legacy Succession" among others. However, once we know the opponent's strategy and goals "Mistaken Accusation" can become a powerful tool to completely shut down entire Decks by targetting the right card. Archetypes in particular will lose some of their winning conditions as popular options like "Mask Change" or "Invocation" become unusable for the rest of the Duel. Even if the opponent only owns a single copy or is a limited card by the banlist, stopping powerful cards like "SPYRAL Quik-Fix" from returning will become a powerful outcome. That is because although "Mistaken Accusation" doesn't affect the target card at that moment it stops any further uses along any copies, while also halting any Graveyard or banishing effects if any. But to further restrict the opponent's plans not only we can try to work along various copies of "Mistaken Accusation", but other options like "Ghost Reaper & Winter Cherries" and "Prohibition" can increase the number of limitations on their performance. Don't forget that "Mistaken Accusation" can target our own cards if needed, and since it won't affect said card's effects we can try to run common cards in most player's Decks to stop their use before they have any opportunity to play them.

"Mistaken Accusation" has a great chance to single-handedly stop entire Decks from going further with their plans, becoming a potential candidate for some Side Decks. The reason why that's its preferable role is that for its best results we require full knowledge of the opponent's Deck, and if we go blind against any strategy will be hard to time "Mistaken Accusation" before is too late. Including its rough activation that will make conservative players completely ignore this card, "Mistaken Accusation" is not a card suitable for every build there. However, once its two flaws are solved "Mistaken Accusation" is a very dangerous Spell Card for any Decks exploiting certain cards for their goals.

Personal Rating: B-

+ Forbids further uses of the card that targets + Potential to shut down entire strategies by targetting staple cards + Various options to improve its efficiency

- Requires for the opponent to have more cards than we do - We need to know the opponent's Deck beforehand to plan ahead its activation - Doesn't negate the effects of the target card unless leaves the field

May 2018 List Re-Review

I did this once before for fun and wanted to do it again. For the reference, the May 2018 analysis was here.

If you’re not familiar with the idea, in this post I will be highlighting statements where I made predictions about the shape of the format to come and scoring them based on how accurate they turned out to be, then tallying those scores at the end to see how well I did. Let’s get into it.

(Also, September 2018 list analysis is on the way. I didn’t want to do it at first but have received a request for it.)

Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King

Yep, this is Luster Pendulum. He’s now Zoodiac Drident crossed with Apoqliphort Towers, and naturally he’s on the banlist again. Feel old yet?

To continue on that analogy, I fully expect this deck to go the way of Qliphorts and continue to see play as a stun variant. Note that nerfed Draco is still a better deck than Qliphorts, unfortunately.

Correct on both fronts: Qliphorts are still bad, and Draco is still seeing play as a stun deck with two variants, one using The Monarchs Erupt, and the other using Ghost Reaper & Winter Cherries, both with the intent of winning by preventing your opponent from playing the game and drawing cards to beat them down once they can’t.

Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis

Woohoo, we won’t get Plant FTK! With that, I have the feeling we’ll be getting the Aromage Link Monster next set, since that’s the card that enables this FTK. Once again, a good hit.

Wrong: We didn’t get the Aromage link monster, but who cares. I’m not going to score this because this post isn’t really about my predictions about Konami’s product design, but rather the metagame.

Oh and we technically got a plant FTK involving Samsara Lotus. Whatever.

That Grass Looks Greener

I’ve been a 60-card player since around this time last year, and Lightsworn is my favorite deck of all time, so I’m sad to see this one go, but it was absolutely responsible for 60-card decks’ most unfair hands. “Oh, you decided to drop Ash Blossom on my Lonefire? Here, let me just mill a third of my deck real quick and end on Naturia Beast or Void Ogre Dragon with Fairy Tail - Snow and Shiranui Spiritmaster in the GY. Oh, and you only have three cards in hand. Sorry, not sorry!”

There’s nothing factually wrong about this since there’s no real prediction, but I would like to mention here that a totally different 60-card deck has seen play since: it turns out that there are some Pendulum variants that legitimately have 60 cards they want to play and wouldn’t have played Grass even if they had the chance. Shine on, you crazy diamonds.

Dinomight Knight, the True Dracofighter

This is the best card in Draco that isn’t named Master Peace, and is the sole reason for why I think the deck isn’t totally dead. Return and Apocalypse are still absurdly strong cards going first and this card searches them.

Correct: I don’t think anyone would disagree that this is still the scariest card left in that deck (unless you think it’s Rivalry, but Frogs and Altergeist play that too).

Gem-Knight Master Diamond

Here’s another “spin the wheel” hit; the Gem-Knight that actually burns is Lady Lapis Lazuli, but hitting this hurts the deck’s attempts to play legitimately, too. Problem solved, I guess, but at what cost?

They can’t make Calamities anymore, either, but that matters much less when they can’t actually kill you, either.

Wrong, unfortunately. Gem-Knight FTK has topped once since this hit happened. I don’t know how and I don’t really care. They should have banned Lazuli.

Chain Strike

And there’s a strange hit! Chain Burn has been a nuisance since, well, the release of Chain Strike, and this hit is kind of out of nowhere, but who cares. Chain Burn is dead if you don’t draw an insane hand. Better now than never.

Correct, haven’t seen this deck since. Don’t care to either.

Semi-Limited Cards

Apoqlihport Towers

Ring of Destruction

I’ll take “Cards that have seen no play” for 800, Alex.

Though much weaker in a format with copious Extra Deck-based removal by battle, this card’s namesake lives on as a reference point for insurmountable boss monsters.

This card’s errata in 2015 addressed its infamous problems in tournament by preventing it from stealing games and forcing draws.

Correct.

Neo-Spacian Grand Mole

Compulsory Evacuation Device

Fairy Tail - Luna saw no play and Solemn Strike is still at 3. Who cares.

Also Correct.

Grandsoil the Elemental Lord

The functional errata is effective already, though we won’t get it in print until FLOD: SE. Elementsaber buff, though the deck really isn’t good anyways.

I don’t remember getting this spicy. Yeah, Elementsabers didn’t turn out great. Correct.

Mathematician

This is still a solid card, honestly. I could see it seeing play again in decks that don’t need a Normal Summon, or if they finally unban Construct. I don’t think that deck’s in the game right now, but it could be soon.

So Mathematician saw no play whatsoever, but I still think it’s because the right deck doesn’t exist; after all, Armageddon Knight is arguably more restricted than Mathematician, and that card does see regular play (in Gouki because it’s a Warrior, in Dinosaurs because it can send Overtex, and in Zefra because it can send Destrudo). All that really proves is that a monster which consumes a Normal Summon in order to send something generic to the GY is good enough to play, and Mathematician is definitely that, so I think we’ll see him come up again once a more useful Level 4 or lower target is introduced for a Type or Attribute that doesn’t already have a better alternative, or for ones that need three more copies of it (with Armageddon Knight, Dinosaurs have eleven cards that send Overtex to GY or search a card that does). For that reason, I’ll call this a maybe--ultimately, as much as I can try to demonstrate that it’s a good card, it depends on whether that deck comes to exist.

Atlantean Dragoons

Dragoons was tearing through boards years before SPYRAL Tough was, and honestly, there’s very little stopping it from doing so now with Light of Sekka in the game (Abyss-scale is a brick and chances are that you don’t run any spells that do anything more impactful than drawing two cards and fixing your hand). This is kind of like when Charge of the Light Brigade came back to 3: It’s a fairly solid buff to a fairly solid deck. Add onto that the imminent reprint of Moulinglacia and the new Mermail Link Monster, and the deck is looking like it’s soon to be in a very strong place.

Mermails have seen minor competitive play, but it is certainly stronger than before, and indeed, the deck plays Sekka’s Light over Abyss-scale. Correct.

Ignis Heat, the True Dracowarrior

This means virtually nothing compared to Dinomight coming back to 1.

…

Okay, hear me out. Ignis was the deck’s best play going second since it grabs Heritage, which plusses off of disruption. That’s fine, but:

Amano-Iwato stops your opponent from doing anything to stop you already.

You are going to search your spells with Diagram anyways, and you don’t need your opponent to be using effects on your turn to do that.

Heritage is still a disruptable card itself, and the proper play with Ignis is usually to let him hit the board and swing over him later in order to give the opponent Heritage on a turn when they can’t immediately use it.

For these reasons… yeah, Ignis doesn’t actually matter that much. Draco would still be fine with Ignis at 1, and I don’t really expect that he’ll be run at more than 2 at MOST due to the way optimal ratios work with Card of Demise.

This is a pretty contentious portion of that post and I kind of regret being so bold. Actually going through and looking at what was right and what wasn’t here is a mixed bag because much of it plays upon theory that is half-true and ended up being half-followed. Let’s take a look.

Ignis is an important card in Draco.

Ignis is a good card in Draco, and the deck often plays two or three copies.

True Draco with Master Peace and Demise regularly played the same ratios of eight monsters in the Main Deck: 3 Amano/Boarder, 1 Ignis, and two Majesty and Master Peace.

The current incarnation of the deck plays roughly nine monsters. It has lost two of the previously available ones and gained a potential three more; not counting the other Dracos, this would account for 3 Amano/Boarder and Ignis, 2 Majesty, and 1 Dinomight, but about half of the lists I’ve seen play two Ignis and a sparse few play Dreiath and/or Metaltron.

Waterfall of Dragon Souls is a fair bit more popular now than it was then, too.

Finally, optimal ratios for Demise necessitate as few monsters as possible, but optimal ratios for Desires insist that you play more cards in triplicate than usual.

So with that said: I feel safe in saying Ignis can be justified at 2 or 3 copies, and I definitely feel safe in saying that he’s a worse card than Dinomight. Going off of this, I’m tempted to say I’m right, but my language was a bit too decisive and derisive (surely people would have played 3 Ignis even if it was demonstrably wrong), so I’ll say this was at least partially wrong and call it a maybe.

In the last section, I made a bunch of predictions about various decks; I’ll go over them each and judge how they should be scored. I’ll also tally this separately just to see how well I guessed how the format would pan out; these will not be scored twice if I mentioned them earlier.

Magicians nerfed. FTK and Zexal builds murdered. Pure deck is still viable.

Every other pendulum deck nerfed, though pure Metalfoes arguably lost the least. (Zefra didn’t use Astrograph at all, but really needed AFD.)

Magicians are still a tier 1-2 deck (is Gouki tier 0 or 1?). Pure Metalfoes actually really liked having Astrograph, though for what it’s worth, it is the only one of these decks that doesn’t need to play bad cards in order to make Vortex. Zefra also did play Astrograph, though at the time, the only Zefra player I knew complained that it took two slots in a very tight extra. Maybe on this.

Draco nerfed. Still viable, mark my words.

Correct.

60-card is dead outright. The best playmakers are still there, but Left Arm into Grass is no longer valid backup for Lonefire Blossom. You may see 40-card Dino or Zombiesworn lists in the future given good enough hands, but there’s no good way to fit the Lonefire combo in 40 cards without bricking too often.

So this is a weird one. The Lonefire combo has seen play at least once in the form of a Gouki deck, but that follows a different combo route than the Lightsworn variant did and is demonstrably a worse version of that deck: it’s hard to get more explosive than Gouki already is, and it requires at least two more bricks. 60-card decks as we knew them are totally dead, so I’ll say this is correct.

Gem-Knight FTK dead.

As mentioned above, unfortunately wrong. Haven’t seen it beyond that one time, though.

Chain Burn, for some reason, also dead.

Haven’t seen it since. Correct.

Every deck that plays Destrudo into AFD is nerfed or dead. I expect ABC and Zefra to survive through sheer power, though both lost much in consistency.

This is correct as it is obvious. Calvin Tahan would top with ABC in Nekroz format if it happened again today and Zefra will be better than the best rogue deck until they start losing copies of Zefraath or get horrendously powercrept.

Invoked are fine, though invoked hybrids lost AFD, I guess.

Invoked didn’t really do much but get power crept. I guess this is wrong? The one Invoked hybrid, AKA the deck with six field spell engines and nothing else, did lose this, but it also literally died. So.

World Chalice untouched. If you think you’re good at this game, try this deck and realize how wrong you are.

I didn’t make an explicit prediction here, so no score, but I should mention that it did top at least once during this time. The only list I can find doesn’t use Knightmares to their full potential, but to be honest, the deck doesn’t entirely need them; it can still do an extra link and make the opponent discard four cards off of an opening hand Venus and any monster without Knightmare Goblin.

SPYRAL untouched. Easily a top-tier contender.

Deck was really good for a while, yeah. Correct.

Burning Abyss untouched. Still a solid deck with proper backrow.

Well goddamn, it turns out Burning Abyss is still a solid deck without proper backrow. Current lists run Sekka’s Light at three copies and more than a dozen hand traps. I’d like to call this a coincidental maybe, but I honestly felt at the time that Burning Abyss was only strong due to its ability to pack in powerful backrow without losing consistency, and in that regard, I was totally wrong.

Paleozoics untouched, though the worst part of their worst matchup is totally gone, and they’re very solid versus Altergeist. Budget players, keep an eye on this deck.

Paleo Frogs were good for about half of the format and dropped off pretty hard. It’s not like what it does it bad, just that there are more counters to it. Also is indeed a budget deck. Still correct.

Neo-Spacians tier 1, obviously.

AHAHAHHAHHAAHAHHHAAHHAHAAHHAAHHAHAH

This dumbass one-off comment I made has come full circle because Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin saw regular play in a tier 1 deck, that being Gouki. It is played because it’s a level 3 Warrior that can mulligan your opponent’s hand of hand traps, and in that regard, it is absolutely unmatched. This card’s burn damage closed out the last game of the European WCQ in time. Do I deserve to be correct for this? You decide. I think so.

Trickstar ANYTHING

This deck has fallen off a bit, but Drollcarnation is still legal and the deck is still a threat based off of that alone.

Another funny one. This wasn’t that true early in the format, but so-called Kid Touch (Trickstar Sky Striker) ended up being a tier 1 deck for a couple of tournaments immediately after the implementation of the new end-of-match procedures, though not entirely because of them, and not entirely because of Drollcarnation, but both together ended up being an unbelievably scary combo: Trickstars could now make Link Monsters without drawing Scapegoat, and Sky Strikers could get even more consistent advantage while also ticking away with burn at a time where it matters the most. Correct either way.

Tallies after eliminating duplicates:

11 Correct

3 Maybe

3 Wrong

64.7% correct, 17.6% definitely incorrect. Pretty good ratio.
