Swordsoul is a deck that seemed like it could do many things which gave a lot of options for creative plays and tech choices. What made you choose Swordsoul for the tournament? What were your tech choices? Side deck sacks are a lame balancing mechanism and Twin Twisters is also too damn helpful to unga decks in general IMO. Hit Twin Twisters, Fairy Wind and its other ilk and then balance pendulum and similar continous-heavy decks accordingly. I will also take this moment to lobby for Big Pend. Some things are still pretty wack though, like unlimited Monster Reborn running wild. Also, dying to my own contracts in my round 2 match against LiquidLoan, though I blame that one on having to play in North American time zones.Īny general thoughts on the tournament, the ban list, or the format in general?įormat is pretty aight I guess, 90% of the players aren’t set on abusing whatever is strongest and just plays whatever is fun to them and decently competitive so there’s nothing overpowered truly ruling the format even if some things are probably a little bit above the curve, like Unchained. I played decently well I think, the only time I can recall having a scare was when I activated Thomas right into a known Ghost Ogre against Sparky in top cut without searching a backup high scale to get Ragnarok out, but it ended up being fine since Kepler is also a scale 10 for some reason and I had one sitting in my hand from previous Thomas uses. With T1 Gilgamesh it’s usually pretty hard to lose to anything other than backrow blowout or absolute god hands if you play your cards well. I didn’t run into a lot of handtraps on my Kepler>Gilgamesh openings either, even though according to Pandor 75% of the players are playing all four hand traps that each just ends my turn on their own. ![]() I was very lucky with my opening hands throughout the entire tournament, I saw Kepler turn one in ~72% of my games compared to the average ~50-55% that would be expected. How did your tournament experience go? Any notable moments? Would have been a big help in a few of my games. I’d also find space for Rebel King Leonidas, another thing I discovered midway through by watching old replays from Technically Footsies playing D/D/D in earlier YTCs is that you can use him to free up a scale by popping himself when set by Gilgamesh, in case you drew one of your preferred scales. They are very good in the right situations though, so I’m leaning towards keeping them around. Even the synchros were kinda iffy since they are so summon inefficient, I don’t think I summoned either once during the entire tournament. Darius never came up, LV6 Genghis was pretty meh too, used him for Swirl Slime into Gilgamesh plays early on in the tournament before I realized Ragnarok’s on-summon effect is kinda cracked and switched to using my bigger fusions but other than that he just isn’t worth the summon and hassle. Yes, I’d cut some of the extra-deck D/D/Ds to make space for some more toolbox options like Dingirsu or Rank 4s once Griffin comes out. The discard wasn’t much of an issue, I always had spare D/D Savant Kepler searchers or suitable D/D names to pitch. It was particularly useful in my two matches against Sparky´s Unchained Despia as an accessible way to kill Despia, Theater of the Branded without having to give up my good scales for Orthros or waste my precious Witch Contract pops. I suppose the closest thing would be playing Dragon King Pendragon who reads kinda jank but ends up being really quite good when given a chance. As for tech choices, I didn’t really have any. Still had a somewhat respectable suite of backrow though, so I was happy enough. In the end I ended up cutting a lot of backrow and going a little unga with the build, focusing hard on finding and resolving the ridiculous one-card starter that is D/D Savant Kepler>Gilgamesh with stuff like Odd-Eyes/Tour Guide From the Underworld, D/D Savant Galilei and Crossout Designator + Forbidden Lance. They looked pretty cool and also interesting to play so I decided to give them a shot. I went asking for decks that could fit a bunch of backrow and was recommended D/D/D by Erika. I’ve only been playing very backrow-light decks (Pends, Thundras and Megaliths) in previous YTCs that couldn’t reliably interact with the opponent on their turn unless I manage to resolve my own gameplan, so I wanted a change of pace. ![]() What made you choose D/D/D for the tournament?
