How are you doing dude?
So We're actually recording this before you record the rest of the episode and we're gonna edit this in like in the middle somewhere Yeah, in middle and somewhere we're gonna edit it into the actual episode But you participated in our 50th episode extravaganza I did and how did it go for you? I'm pretty good because I won so that feels pretty good. That is wonderful You are the proud owner of a near well light play first edition ultimate rare karma cut so congratulations I do appreciate it because now I have my place out of all T karma cuts for BA, which is perfect. Yes, that is wonderful a very nice thing to have Well, congratulations, what did you play in the tournament the tournament by the way for those wondering ended up not being super huge We had like 10 people participate, but I'm gonna be honest I'm happy that result considering we only gave everybody like a week's notice like we can have two weeks at most Yeah, so but what did you end up playing?
I ended up playing p.k. Fire, but I played not to ruin I played f0 and said which I think both versions are really good But I ended up going to go and play the ton and I wanted to write it so right how did how did your work out did it come up? I came up a lot It was very good against earth machine is a game-winning card and I played against two of them so we will take that air yeah We'll go through the deck breakdowns when we record the actual episode, but so let's you say we played two or two Let's do a round by round breakdown. Okay round one I play against earth machine It was pretty simple We had a grind game game one and I ended up coming up ahead because I made f0 and just gonna beat him down with it Right then the second game I kind of blew him out I kind of just blew up as I kind of drilled him and then I just kind of beat him the deck can't do anything on a girl Which I don't think a lot of people understand Second round I played against Eldlitch Game one I Had the grind game we grinded it for a while I ended up coming just far enough ahead with a exes code I played to just kill him and then game two I feel really bad for that for the guy because I really blew him out of the water I drew double twin twister and I just blew up his four back row and then beat over his border And I just went off it so that's not how I would have gone if I didn't draw the double twin, but who knows Who game round three was against infernoid and I lost this round in Swiss But I mainly lost to the fact that the infernoid player was playing mine with the continuous infernoid trap and just kept if you didn't kill Me he just looped everything back to his hand and just did it again So unfortunately can't really deal with that and then round four was against earth machine and again f0 put in a ton of work I stole his on exes monster, which is river stormer when he was trying to do the normal play and he just couldn't do anything without it on The board on his board.
Yeah, when F is zero negates a monster you take control of it if it's on the board It just doesn't destroy him. Oh, that's funny. That is hilarious It's super it comes up and it's super funny. Um and then in top could I play against infernoid infernoid again But this time I saw my twin twister and we got rid of mine and we kind of dealt with it so again Yeah, again, it's the only way I was winning that game was by solv twin and I was making on it And then the last round or last year last round I played against paleo frog and I won game one pretty Like not that difficult daily I played through whatever he did and then came to I think he made a really awkward play He went for access code and then tried to kill me but didn't get he didn't do it He couldn't kill me and then on the crack back.
I just dealt with the board so But yeah, yeah for sure and that was about it Well, I'm glad that the tournament went well for you every time it has to have a winner So I'm glad that you did so well it was interesting for me to see the the B.A. Deck the pk deck just Body people I mean you were smoking people I tuned in to some of the matches and generally it wasn't close Yeah, so this might be just on the fact I've been playing the B.A. Deck literally since corn skills come out And I played B. I played B.A.
and pk for a while before the time of playing it now I played it during virtual world um virtual world when they have D. I played in the point following that I played it for a very long period I really liked it and I really know it really well so it does it really doesn't help and so much doesn't know their deck And I know mine it just makes it way too easy at times. Yeah. Yeah deck knowledge is Probably one of the biggest things to consider when when you're picking your deck for a tournament I think it's maybe the most important thing to consider I do agree with that because I remember I've gone to a couple of regionals and I was debating on do I play the deck that I know is Really good, but I'm played a lot or I just play the deck I know the best because like I'm one of the major regionals I went through and played and did well or decently at is I'm either so playing like the new combo thunder variant just playing pier thunder and I just said well I know pier thunder like the back of my hands I'm just gonna play pier thunder and I don't really want to play around all the new because this one then original Negatons with like the bureau dark rule and all that stuff came out and I was like I don't want to lose it just getting the beer because I don't know the combo well enough to play around it But I just played pier thunder doing the entire and they got my invite off it So I mean sometimes the deck you know is just better than some deck You don't even if the deck you don't know you know like if you're going to event Caleb's a good example We went to a 3v3 tournament and Caleb's been on my Dolce non-stop for months now And we went to the 3v3 event at the last member like hey, maybe you should play a control deck, you know Yeah, which for me would be trapped at all which I had at that one hadn't played in months months right Turns out that was not the correct decision the correct decision was absolutely just my Dolce after lots of play just like That's just my Dolce.
It's just yeah, just you know more comfortable I had the same thing but like I had to I had two my friends who hadn't played in months That's much they didn't know their deck They didn't play it in two months and the same thing applies there I was doing pretty decently well and the other two were having like they were just having hard times making some of the decisions They're like knowing what other decks did and what their game plan was and that's not to say that you have to play non-stop To be able to play your deck, but it does help it doesn't make it a little easier. Yeah, so Well, I wanted to ask you Were there any particular deck choices or decisions that went into besides the deck itself was there anything in particular that you did that? You know, you maybe wanted to highlight Big one would be fcro playing as your over-durgoon It's it's different in the way that people don't think about because it does change how you want to play the deck Because you're not playing you're not playing to win normal turn one like normal pk would be with your good and stuff You're playing to make it so they don't beat you and you're trying to play just enough So when you fill them on a crack back is when you end your turn with the normal board of like rusty fcro I'd be When you end on that you have follow up in the great with cloak and torn scales You have fog blades set and you have all that follow up in the next turn and you have as old in your activity So you can go for the access code like OTK if you really want to on the following turn I really think that's a big part of it. Um, I was also playing two fantas Me to Naveeru because those really the two really impactful hand traps And it's really the cards that help you see what you want to see against next Because I play for other main silly go fantas me and you find the cards you're looking for that just kind of can win You the game off that Definitely do you got any questions?
No, not really you pretty much coder thing. I was gonna ask. Oh well in that case and I have more questions Oh, yeah, I just wish I could remember what they were I know I rush to really I should have written all this stuff down so oh no big I can I can I can I could literally talk about this a lot of weird stuff I'm playing one order in the side deck which feels weird because you're looking at pk like why would you play order because or If you will see it first like you just win the game off it. I'll get that's pretty good reason to play it in my opinion Oh, I know and my friend Rick has been like literally like jamming the idea of a playing order on the side No matter what your deck is because literally in my my drive time deck Which literally is half spells I side order because if you order someone on the second turn and it's their turn They kind of just lose so they don't have an answer to it who sides the beat order against retron nobody Yeah, I Order orders a good card orders a good card.
Yeah, I did want to ask you I remember my questions Um, so how long have you been listening to the podcast? Um, I've been listening to your podcast and September 24th, which is the episode you guys were talking about the upcoming format with Bode, right? I got you Not like that wasn't our plan for today's episode or anything I'm gonna talk about that though. And so after this interview, um, but no I yeah Post boat is going to be a really interesting format.
I think I think it is But I also like I don't know if it makes a big enough difference like it's you're gonna see the shit in the meta Ship but the decks that are good right now are still gonna be just as good But you're now the decks that are coming out and both have to compete with these decks and I think Lottie Lopula All this sentiment that a lot of the new decks are gonna have a hard time beating some of these older ones Like I don't think sort soul is gonna be able to play through a drive-around board unless they play the power cards in our deck Otherwise, I mean they just lose to it and things like yeah, yeah Yeah, I don't think sort soul is gonna be able to compete against what we currently have in the meta and sort soul is in my opinion The best deck coming out of boat. I do agree there I think sort soul is the best deck out of boat coming out But there are a lot of interesting things that people may not be thinking about like the SV adults is decent right now And it just gets better when boat comes out Flunderies is a very good deck if you don't are not prepared to deal with it. Flunderies is a good medical I think being able to macro your opponent at any given point is really good or just kind of shrug at it. I should all window Yeah, pretty much.
That's a big thing there But granted like invokes should all hasn't seen a ton of Consistent play currently again It's the same thing in any invokes here We'll start off the form of being played a lot and then just slowly die down and play it and played right so Well, are you looking forward to our next tournament? Oh, I will play again I just like laying you go and my locals hasn't started up again So I'll take whatever I can get just a kind of upsetting very odd. Yeah, got you Well, we are hoping to do another another a little another little tournament in the server well before the hundredth episode Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, we're not gonna wait till a hundredth episode again, though We will do one of those also. Yeah, so but thank you so much for coming and playing Thank you so much for competing and congratulations on winning Well, thank you, and I will probably participate again, so you will see me again I promise good to hear we are always happy to have people join have people play and have people come out and hang out So thank you again and have a good day Yep, you too and welcome back from that wonderful interview with Evie master So we do have a few things to talk about today.
The first is we do want to talk about a new card we have the We have a new secret shiny box coming from the OCG. It's gonna come with it's kind of like a prismatic Godbox But it's got a little bit different stuff in it. It's gonna come with good. Yeah, let's say like it's themed around Sky striker this time.
I don't think it's already themed around Sky striker comes with a bunch of skyshiker stuff Yeah, okay, I guess that's true. So it's got two secret or four all special bonus cards So there's six total cards so you can get like one of three different cards And then there's also one special acrylic stand with six different designs to which are sky strikers one set of 70 special Dualist card protectors with six different designs So you get one of six different packs of sleeves one special storage box three different designs to get one of those five packs of the secret shiny special pack So it is a an extra extra extra special pack of super shiny cards five parts five cards were packed 40 total cards And one set of 70 dualist card protectors which are large and clear So they give you a pack of oversleaves to which is very nice. Yeah, more than we can say for the TCG Yeah, this is an OCG product. We don't have a release date for the product But I mean it'll be coming some cool stuff coming though The first thing to talk about is strategic striker ha mp So the strategic striker ha mp is a new skier card and the effect is it's a level eight dark machine effect monster 2500 Tax 2500 defense first off first line text is that this card's always a skier card.
Yeah, it's always treated as a skier Car which means it's searchable absolutely. Yep. So you can just go ahead and grab it right out of the deck with your engagement So draw one but this card's extra cool because you can only special someone with the first effect of this card's name Once return one if you control a sky shaker ace monster You can special in this card from your hand to either field by tripping one monster on that field to win this card Just roll by battle you can target one card your opponent controls and destroy it So very cool You can either sum it to your own field as either a link it's an extender or whatever or or you can Cai to your opponent's you can just kaiju your opponent's your goon Yep, get ready upon your goon or whatever, you know and a cool part is that it is a Summit that doesn't start a chain So colloquially known as an inherent summit. Mm-hmm.
So yep And the thing is is that like if you open this card in your hand plus when your level four sky tracker monsters Mm-hmm, you can out your opponents you're doing and they can't do anything about it Yeah, you can just normal some your sky tracker monster link it off into one of sky tracker aces and then that then you can Sure, but I think you're gonna give them this guy And then whenever you run it over you then also get a pop monster on their field on top of that Well pop a card on their field on top of that. Yep It's it's it's a searchable kaiju is what it is and in archetype searchable kaiju, which is kind of what the deck needed Yeah, I know it's awesome. It's awesome. Oh, yeah, it's great Oh boy, so it'll be great for the deck It gives them always a monster and their opponents main monster zone and other things like that Yeah, so some of the reprints are coming in this are sky tracker a's race shazuku hi-atte afterburners multi-role some other non-sky tracker cards Such as millennium eyes restrict relinquish anima nightmare Cerberus instant fusion I mean pretty solid stuff in there actually yeah, absolutely my millennium eyes restricted reprint would be awesome so Here's something we get that eventually yep, so thank you so much for showing us all the school stuff that we're not gonna get in CCG yep, so Next we have the TCG structure deck albas strike So we do actually have an announcement of the fall of albas structure back in the TCG right which unfortunately suggests that they're skipping the Agent structure back here, which is just tragic which also suggests maybe something like goes from the past to right right Right, you know, but basically they're gonna have to come up with a reprint set to print all to get first printings to the well Actually, I just throw it in our song chapter two Because that's rather all the original's are gonna do stuff is probably reprinted So I don't see why they wouldn't also just because they're pretty pretty well advertised.
Yeah. Yeah, it's yeah They know it's just they're hitting our song monsters. Yeah, that's that's fair. Hmm.
So yeah, but um, yeah, they could definitely throw it in there I just don't think they will yeah, um, we'll have to wait and see yep, it'll hit shelves March 11th 2022 MSRP will be 1099 per box. They are going up a dollar Yeah, and when you consider the difficulties that they've had doing printing and stuff like that it makes sense. Yeah, so Look up. I'm just like I'm just happy that well I'm not having their increase in the price but I'm happy that you know since they are they're only doing about like a dollar Yeah, so it does include Volna Valbas, of course, and it says it will include multiple new fusion monsters to further expand its power interesting So we do know for a fact that it will be you know, yes, I mean, yeah, because I don't think the OCD Structured I got any new got any new fusions.
I think it did. I don't think so because well, we also might not know Yeah, I don't know we have more information coming on the OCD one after this. Yeah, yeah, yeah Like particularly some cards that are almost there. They're most likely also gonna be printed in hours Just due to it being just kind of part of the deck strategy which is right which is to turbo out the albaz and then fuse.
Yeah, so next We do have the breakdown It's got 46 cards 40 the main decks six and the extra second five special tokens So the way it says it is tokens Yeah, I'll strike as five special tokens that you can use as whatever type of token you need in addition to the new art Made specifically for these which can lead to further into the stories of the phone about so It's more is more albaz lore right in the tokens right five ultra rarers three supers 38 comments five special tokens and one Bells I deluxe a game at slash to one guy all the stuff you never get well Does it say what they always say when I you'll get one token it doesn't say oh, it says five tokens Okay, okay, so in that case they'd be given as 51 cards. Well, yes because the I don't know the spiritual armor one had five different tokens that were possible So I don't know we could see yeah, we only got one per pack in this random right But then they also had that weird randomization of the alt arts right that's true They did a lot of randomization in that one yeah So maybe they'll just rate give us all five of them because again It is kind of a lower thing as compared to the The other thing is with the spirit charmers ones the one you the thing you have to look at is that that was like a fan made thing It was fan voted on so when you really think about it, it's like okay. Well, let's consider really They want it to be more of a fan service thing Yeah, so whereas this is more of something that they came up with and they want to put a little bit more effort into all right All right that that's very I actually just gave us all five in which case that would be 51 cards and a structure deck Which is a little bit more than what we usually get because normally you only get 43 40 43 to 46 yeah, it depends on how many extra cards I think cyber strike had 45 And it also depends on whether or not the deck can the deck itself can produce a token if it can they give you the one of the exact token For the deck right so like that a smasher 31 give you a drag token. Yeah drag egg token.
That's correct So something that we do have though is we have about five four five new cards that we know we're gonna be in the ocg Structural so we can only assume they're gonna be in the CC to yeah particular because it's main deck not extra deck right so new support The tribregade Mercurier is a dark winged beast effect monster level four 800 attack zero defense so something to note is that the tribregade So the the alba's structure deck Involves all of the other archetypes the spriggens the dog nagas the sword soul the yeah Yeah, it's everyone coming. It's all the different factions coming together to help alba's right So the dog mad guys have just main deck monsters where's the alba's uh you have so you have a fusion mechanic Which is alba's you have a synchromchanic which is sort soul you have an exes mechanic which is spriggens You have a link mechanic link mechanic which is the tribregades and even Konami does not want to acknowledge pendulums um Technically the this technically they're the they're all the despias the fusion Yeah, despias are also fusion But that's also because that would I think the lore for that is that it's that the despias are the dog mad guys going The ends justify the means even if it means going against our own code of ethics Oh, I don't know too much about the lore. I don't know for 100% for that um But that's my thing it is because they because the despia and the dog madika have like the same like You know pseudo catholic thing going for them right um, but whereas the despias are the more dark side of Catholicism right right or religiosity in general Well, um, well that one the despias should straight up flertileese armor Right corrupted. Uh, but the dog madika's also do ritual summon, which is an ex-deck summon.
So Still goes with her steam of the extra deck is heresy Anyway, but let's all like so basically this is that the the lore for this is not everyone's coming together to help alba's help their boy alba's Yep, uh, so keep that in mind Even though that this is a tribregade monster and as part of the tribregade archetype doesn't mean it's going to be helpful for the tribregade deck Right, this is by the cooperation between the alba's and the tribregades and all the spring and stuff So when you can only use the first and second effects of this card's name each once return one when you're playing activate A monster effect and you control a fusion monster that lists fall on a bow bad as material quick effect You can send this card from your hand or field to the graveyard and negate that effect Okay, doesn't negate activation just negates the effect which is not as good, but I mean it depends actually that would depend on whether or not it says you Only activate or use this as you only activate it's better. Right, but it says you can only use it. It's the same. Yeah, so It's that's interesting It's interesting.
No, yeah, second effect if this card becomes banished You can add one fall on a bow bads or one monster that lists that monster in its text from your deck to your hand except tribregade Mercurier also interesting because technically if you activated another tribregade effect like a tribregade Fractal say own field and banish it as you get its effect then how would practice effect and then you could search an alba's like There are combos there. There are lines there. I'm not smart enough to figure them all out, but they're there Yep, next one is spriggun's kit and level four dark beast effect monster 1700 attack 1000 defense You can only use the first and second effects of this card's name each once per turn one If you have a fusion monster that lists fall on a bow bads as material on your field or anywhere graveyard You can special in this card from your hand very good Two if this card is normal or special summoned you can add one of your branded spells or traps that is banished or in your deck or graveyard to your hand Then you place one card from your hand on the bottom of the deck, which is very similar to bear brom and fair g Oh, yeah, um also the art for this card is kit, but like she's just kind of kidted herself Um with a bunch of like leftover spriggin parts. It looks like Yeah, it's definitely tribregade kit, but in like a different armor get up similar to how bear brom the ramp and rampager is just kit in a different armor get up Yeah, well it turned like a tank she made yeah, so um also another good card.
I think great extender Yeah, let's go ahead and read off the next couple of cards and we'll kind of decide how we feel about them after Unlikely sort soul allies. It is a light spellcaster tuner effect monster level four 1800 attack and 1500 defense You can only use the second effects of this card's name once per turn One when a monster declares an attack you can special summon this card from your hand And if you do negate that attack then if you control a fusion monster Let's fall out of all as you can destroy the attacking monster So if you have two of these in your hand you can do this more than once Uh, two if a monster becomes banished face up you can banish this card from your field or graveyard Especially someone one light spellcaster who is attack equals its own defense from your hand or graveyard Which would be all the dumb act dogmatic is I think no probably not all the dogmatic is probably um Well, maybe a klesia exactly. Yeah, maybe but it might be the new a klesia. Oh good point.
Also the art for this is like Um, I can't think of the dogmatic. It's named the dogmatic at aidon. Yeah, Theo. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, it's him with a sword soul dude Yeah Um, so that's why it's the unlikely sorts of allies gotcha. Okay.
I guess a lot of Uh, I guess a lot of dogmatic is left. Yeah, so Uh, if you look at the little guy like a little editor's note here, which is that uh, the name references two things Uh, the japanese name, which is uh, kenen no naka, which literally translates to two people being like cats and dogs and the yellow emperor Uh, jun-yan judging by how the jan-jang are based on Chinese swords. It's probably based on his mythological short. Uh jun-yan jin I don't know The next new card is the the last new card is a continuous spell card called paradise branded So first thing right off the bat is a branded spell or trap.
So it's searchable with uh, a luber So you can only use the second effect of this card's name at once per turn one the activation of your cards and effects that include an effect that fusion summons a fusion monster Cannot be negated also your opponents cards and effects cannot activate when a monster is fusion summoned this way Two if you fusion summon a fusion monster you can add one to fall in a vow of as or one monster that lists that card in it from your deck to your hand Wow, it's magical in help town crazy, but for uh, but for albas No, it's a continuous spell card. Just as good. Yeah, just It's the same general concept of activating it just kind of sits there. That's so frustrating They're making more of them We were all over here just complaining and being upset because we're just like man melt down needs to go Yeah, we're like meltdown needs to go the fact that you can't respond is just cancerous and making more right now.
I was like, yeah, we hear you We're gonna make more of them. Yeah We hear you. Absolutely. We hear your frustration, but this archetype also needs the exact same thing gross Very uh, we do also know some reprints coming in the structure deck for the ocg at least we don't know about tcg Uh, fallen of albas.
That makes sense. I'll be on the shrouded dragon, which is I think one of the Uh branded cards. I think here. Yes.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah He's alby in the branded dragon here. I think and dogmatic of flur de lee, which is cool It's not gonna be in there for us. No, it probably will if I leave it though I think so because it's got the equal attack and defense you work right about that Okay, and then it's also uh, it fits in with the deck So and I mean we already have a flur de lee re-print here like realistically So uh, and then red eyes darkness metal dragon that makes sense branded in white makes sense screams of the branded judgment of the branded makes sense Taitana clad that makes a lot of sense Brigand the glory dragon sprint the iron dash dragon and albion the branded dragon all of those makes sense Yeah, yeah Because those are all decisions.
Yes, and then on the same day you'll have some new sleeves that come out of the ocg That feature albas and ecclesia and the tribergade rebellion. Well, that's cool. Yeah, some new tribergade sleeves would be dope So, um realistically, it's a very cool deck. It's a very cool I mean, I think it's very cool everything's very cool about it, but I just I don't know man I don't know.
It's just I don't know if it'll be good or not, but it's cool. Yeah, my biggest Like some my biggest issue with it is the branded paradise. Yeah, the fact that wait just it's a branded smell So it's more searchable than melt down. I always melt down you have to hard open this is searchable.
No, no, no No, no, no because they're forming with that one search card as compared to three. Yeah, the whole artite, right? Yeah, it's yeah, so it's actually worse It's better and worse than meltdown better in the sense that it's more searchable than meltdown worse because it's more self searchable than meltdown Well, anything is it's not even that it's more searchable than meltdown. It's also going to be um What's what I'm looking for?
You so you don't get the search for albas on activation if you do it when you do a fusion summon then wait the search which is fair Yeah, so the other thing is This and so this is something that's really interesting. I think that these two things combined this structure deck and the agent structure deck Could be what I've heard referred to as a top-in-a-box Which is like the structure deck is good enough for you buy three structure decks Take it out with a couple of little things here and there if you really feel like you need to and you could realistically do well at a competitive event Just off of a structured just off of oh, yeah, um a single package. So Um, yeah, well, yeah, like one card I would 100% be like yeah, you got it like I would highly recommend adding into that It's definitely cross sheep. Oh, yeah, because cross sheep's really good in any fusion tread Oh, yeah, because like if you make cross sheep and then summon albas effective use and if you fuse in one of those zones You can just summon your albas back out, right?
And then I don't think yeah, and I think albas institution fact is once per turn Yeah, if it was if it's not I don't know for sure if it's not it's not you can just immediately fuse again Yeah, if it's not key term if it is you still get to recycle your albas back Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Um, we're not even just albatch just any level four lower monster in your great for you can just recycle that Yeah, I think that between this deck and the agent structure deck if we were to get that here Um, we could enter like a new age of cheap good yugio, which would be amazing Uh, yeah, it's like right now the most like right now I mean, but you got the reprint of a zoo's making zoo's more accessible ttt's more accessible Um for bin droplets getting another reprint coming up. Yeah for the agent structure deck the biggest thing that you're going to need to get Before it comes out is the baron. Well, it was baron a stiffler.
Now. It's a baron de flare which we'll get into that next Yeah, that's that's what we're gonna start with next. Yeah. Oh, yeah Yeah, like, you know, it's just a couple of synchro in a couple of synchros coming out of synchros storm Up some stuff like that.
Um, right. Yeah, like so that's if we even get the agent structure deck which is not looking like we are Unfortunately, um, so whatever set the new agent stuff comes out in right? I will say that Um Did your sync calls? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, let's go ahead and get into the legendary dual season eight I do want to talk about that. Yes as we as we do have the entire set list for synchros form Right. So uh, uh, en 0 0 is clear wing synchro dragon.
That's the ghost rare Uh, is it ghost rare clear wing synchros or crystal clear wing synchro? Because I thought it was crystal clear wing. I don't I don't think crystal clear wing synchros even in this. I don't think I didn't see when I looked at it crystal clear wing synchro.
Oh, okay. Uh, huh. I don't know that I figured 0 0 0 would be the ghost rare because that's what they did with the raw set. I think oh, is it?
Yeah, I guess it was 0 0 0 we had we know for a fact what the ghost rare is. I just don't remember Yeah, it's been it's been announced and we've already discussed it once It's just been a while You know, because it's a ghost rare um um, the ghost rare is That's not it. Yeah Okay, well we'll get that for you. Yeah, we'll figure it out.
Yeah, um, the thing that I will say though is that um This sets really interesting. Oh, yeah, no, it's not a lots of really big. Okay. Yeah, crystal clear wing synchro is the ghost It's ultra and a ghost.
Okay. Well, what's its number? He ends 0 0 5. Okay.
Okay. Okay. So 0 0 is just regular clear wing Yes, so for some reason right so you got the clear wing synchro dragon and you have crystal clear wing which was an upgraded form of upgraded in quotation marks. Yeah, that's the new one.
Yeah, so oh, yeah, uh, let's see and like For me looking through it. It's got just about every speed worry card in there Yep, I mean it's got talk a ton it's not the ones that matter at least talk a tomborg Teratop and red-eye dice. Yeah, but if you want to pure speedroy, it's not everything else too Yep, it's got the new cards that just came out like the oh gosh. I want to say double yo-yo is a new one Yeah, the dog.
Oh, yeah, the relet that go Duke the relet wheel. Yeah, speed word wheel. Yeah, that's the new one I think clear wing rider is a new one. I think I have four or five new cards.
Yeah. Yeah, um, some of the new cards are really good Oh, yeah, like like like the like like pure speedroy the speedroyd wheel is A plus one right. Yeah, it's it's good. Yeah, it really is very good right at the gate and like teratop Let's talk a tomborg by themselves is already a great rank three engine right?
Um, you know, and yeah, it's a great ranked Three engine in a synchro deck. So yeah, that I should tell you something. Um, so you do have all the speedward cards You have all the high speedward cards, even things like speed recovery speed lift Um, and then you get into the stuff from uh, what's your name from the anime? Uh, I don't remember I just I thought about it right as right whenever you said a baron esta floor and I was like, oh, yeah, Cheryl Yeah, yeah, I think it's Cheryl.
I think you're right. So we get into it. Cherry. It's cherry leblanc.
That's what it is. You're at it. Um, you get into Some of the other stuff from the set which is the flare stuff. So you have sage de flare you have Sosirate de floor right or synchron necrosynchron right pro floor Shavagliate floor things like that, but yeah, Baroness is baron the def lure I don't know why um, yeah, I don't know why they would do that at all Uh, I guess to make it sound more French than Baroness Considering it's chavagliate floor right probably but I don't know I think I think Baroness would have been fine But it's whatever yeah, they floor to me is enough French.
Yeah. Well, so you got that you're the floor right the floor. Um, you have Then there's the um, the whole they also got their horse, uh White seed of flowers. I think it's called.
Yeah, white seed of the floral lights. Yes, it is an amazing extender for the deck Um, so it's level five that if you could uh that can just special summon itself. I don't remember the requirements for it Yeah, and I don't have a build up. Yeah, but it's just a level five and then you can fetch uh one of your other synchrons and That's you can grab like floor synchron and that's level two and you can go right to chevallier right or normal summon and go into baroness Yep in addition you also get some cool synchros stuff such as quibble hedgehog synchron explorer unknown synchron We're near gross synchron.
Yep. The only good synchrons left honestly. Yeah, um, then you get all of the lyricless stuff Just all of it. We don't mean all the new ones.
We mean literally every lyricless card. Um, that is you know, that's going to be printed Isn't here you got you don't have the fusion in here. I don't think yeah I got might be the one card that's not in there because you got because you have the new uh, Celeste wacktail and barrel canary and ensemble robin on some blue robin and promenade the rush but then they also reprinted um both the other exceeds Which is assembled nightingale and rest of the starlings. Yeah, we're stapling and they also reprinted cobalt sparrow sapphire swallow and It's a boy's water.
Yeah, plus bird call. Yep. There's actually three new spell cards that go with it Bird call bird sanctuary and phantom feathers. Phantom feathers is a trap card trap, right?
I'm sorry You can activate it from your hand control there list I think yeah So bird call it lets you either add a lyricless monster from your deck to your hand or send one from your deck to your graveyard And then it lets you special someone with a different name from your hand. Yep, it's insane. It's honestly insane. Oh, hold on So what you so what you do is that if you already have cobalt, um Stir in your hand and bird call you activate bird call mill.
Um the searcher Effect and then effect special on a different one you have in your hand. That's a different name And then effect special on the cobalt sparrow which will then bring back out the one and grave Right and that's three monsters on board immediately And that's and you can do that with a lot of the different names in your hand Oh, yeah, there's different ways to finesse it because of the versatility that bird call gives you Oh, yeah, oh yeah, and like uh one of them is like uh the cobalt sparrows effect Is if you control a wing of beast and special on it and another level one wing of beast from your hand That's easily done by special on something called by like volus varioling the um So let's wait until I think no, let's wait until Burial Canary yeah, no, no turquoise wobbler by the turquoise wobbler something the uh And then it comes out when turquoise wobbler gets special on and no matter where from you can add uh another Level one wing of beast your hand. Yeah, we're just talking about how it how it like how it works In relation to the ones that are already out. That's not even incorporating the less wagtail or the berry Which are both which berry is stupidly good and it's a rare right granted The celestial actel is an ultra and on some blue robin is an ultra and I think bird call is there ultra?
Yes, it is but the um the other spoke hard, uh, what do they call it the tcg? Bird sanctuary, uh, no, it's like something strike Uh, I don't see bird strike on here. I don't think that one was coming in this set No, because it wasn't the ocg Ooh, that's like the one we're not getting bird strike. What is that?
So, okay, so if you control a layerless monster, okay, all face out cards your opponent controls Oh, that's right. It was a dark ruler no more. Yeah, a search will talk a little more Yeah, so bird sanctuary is if you control two layerless exceed monsters Um, you target one you target you make your first target and second target then you attach your second target all this materials to the first target as material Right. Um, which which by the way makes it feasible possible to have a 12 material zeus Which I think is hilarious.
I mean, yeah, if you structure everything correctly, it is possible Which is just absolutely hilarious just six four wipes on a zeus. What do you your opponent all your pun can really do is cry? Mm-hmm So and they also have prominent thrush, which is uh, two level one monster zexise Gains 500 attack for terra once per turn you can attach one from the from its card Then target one spark tribe your opponent controls shuffle it into the deck So and that's also got some damage depth stuff like most of them do but um, yeah, I mean, it's it's really good It's really interesting for those that want to know on some blue robin does it's a rank one two level ones to remore all all the The all the airless exceeds or two or more Yeah, uh gains 500 material for each 500 attack for your material if your opponent special something monster, except during the damage step You can detach one material from this card then target one of those special monsters and return it to the hand and this card in your Possession to the graveyard by an opponent's card you can target one of the leryless and your graveyard eyes your hand So good so good so and then you also got synchronic explorer unknown synchronic warrior mariami the true drago phoenix Sardis warrior sars assault warrior totem bird tornado dragon and quill pen of gildos for some reason I mean because quill pen of gildos isn't terrible Um, it's you target two and monsters in a graveyard one on field You shuffle the two and graveyard back in your deck and then you return to one on the field back to the hand right? It's not terrible.
It's not good either. It's not terrible So as a general rule of thumb here is the advice that I will give going into This release because this sets gonna release this coming weekend. It'll be available in OTS stores I think thursday or friday. Yeah one of the other and then four release everywhere else saturday Right so what I would recommend is pick up as many copies as you can of baron a stiffler or baron a fler She is generic and really good at any deck that can hit what is she level ten?
Yes So it's a level ten synchro and it's very very good in the actual baron deck It's good in the speed war deck, but it is also good in the sword soul and the agent deck It's in fact, it's extremely good. It's maybe the best card in the sword soul deck Oh, yeah, no, not that's that it is arguable But it's uh the ability to hit that card so easily is one of the best things about it. Yeah, no So Yeah, cuz like because I mean because even she's a holiday floor was actually pretty good for the time But it was hard to hit because it wasn't generic. Yeah generic.
You had to use for synchron who is garbage Yep, that being said uh necro necros necros necron a thing is called the new one. Yes, it's actually pretty good Yeah, it's solid But honestly, I would recommend picking up any ultra you can get your hands on out of this set When you really think about it because it's a legendary dualist set the ultra is here Aren't gonna get reprinted for like a year plus minimum I mean if what they've done Reese if they would they done in the past is any indication I mean look at magician souls look at legendary or elantor liquid soldier A decid goal malicious bane they might only start out at you know a couple of dollars But over the over time they're gonna go up look at soul servant Right from magical hero that was considered a bad pull and now soul servants are 35 dollars a piece They were only a dollar or two on release. Oh, okay So I just went ahead and pulled up Baroness day floor's effect Which I'm still gonna call it key calling her Baroness, right? Um, let's return to her one car on the field destroy it Period next effect once while face up on the field when a corridor effect is activated quick effect negate any if you do destroy that card Right, right.
It's a once all face on the field on the gate. So good. Um, you can only you can only yeah And it's once once once all face up on the field and even once per turn hard once per turn So because you get theoretically get this thing out pop its effect and then get it out again, right Um once per turn during the standby phase. Here's how you can target a level nine or lower monster in your graveyard return this car to the extra deck And if you do smash something that monster so so good So it's like it tags out into a much weaker monster because it's all ten But then let's say you tag onto a level eight and you have a level two in hand level two Two and a normal star or you can tag out into one of the sword soul cards and then resummon exactly and just make it again It By the way, the uh once per turn pop is a soft once per turn.
Yeah, it's not once you know You know if that this guy can bear in a safe life once per turn, it's just once per turn So there is actually still like good reason to make multiple bearness a floor is per turn right right? Um I think that'll pretty much give it that it's pretty much it for today.

So, um We're over 10,000 total plays now, uh, which is just just crazy So, uh, before we leave last thing I want to do I want to get into the podcast question of the day I did not forget this time. I did but I kind of remembered so Um, last week's podcast question of the day last ryd is episode Is there a particular tech or combo that you haven't seen around that you like? So Of course, no one expects magic cylinder not a soul true Uh back in the form of shadaw's neck crows and cleave fort i like my triple skill drain double cyclone and gear town combo Because if i went first i could set two activate gear town normal bee skiing barberos pass And then like they set a scale or something or they activate a scale You could activate the cyclones pop their back row gear town get stuff and then flip skill drain for free 3000 beaters Uh scraps the entire scrap package is ridiculous very true Uh, you ever hit them with context c rober of warlords? That's a war crime.
So, yeah But good Haven't seen anyone play windwitch with dart magician sure lays dam sports considered the best version but windwitch you can get a good crystalline out Uh, yeah, I mean, that's true Iron dragon tiamaton Interesting that is an interesting one. Uh, that's very very interesting very interesting Uh, whenever I say interesting in this situation, I don't mean interesting as I think that's that that's actually really cool Right. Yeah, I kind of like the tech Um one here's another one. I've always liked kaijuing and stealing the kaiju back with anima that's hilarious That is amazing.
Yeah, if you have a deck that consistently hit anima, that's an awesome one Yep, like clear list. Mm-hmm. I have a fun cast deck where I used to use ceremonial bell and cards like dd designator to rip cards out of the hand That's gross. Uh, two different barriers statues on field stop so special something also gross Uh, it makes out the moon mirror shield on one and hard of clear water on the other Um, that's just disgusting.
Uh, none of them are super competitive, but digital bugs makes them beat troopers have some cool combos That's true. That's true. Uh, if I had skill drain 3 again, I would run my mulevic beat down again Yeah, and that's the double cycling gear town. Yep.
So he's in the server and on Twitter. Yeah, true. Yeah, it's I don't know. It's there's so many different ways and so many different, um so many different things that There are many different things you could do.
Oh, yeah, so I really do like the idea of some of the different um, some of the different things that are possible so um, and of course for This week's this episode's podcast question of the day. We have What is the deck you've always wanted to learn slash play but haven't gone around to so this is an interesting Interesting question. Um Oh, and by the way, my answer for the previous question was one black wing deficit elite in uh, trabrogate decks Very spicy deck. You can pitch it.
Yeah, and then you can just revive it by bouncing back on your uh, So like something hilarious that you can do is uh, you can activate if you already have it in hand Of course you have to hard draw it usually but or you can send it with fractal and like bounce something on and yeah It gives you another body on board. Right, but it can also give you a second activation of 10 key That's a good point. You can bounce 10 key back to hand and then like next turn you can activate 10 key again Yeah, you get another fractal search. Yep broken.
So but uh for me Let's see. I think the spiciest tech that I've ever come up with was probably double summon in adult jay And I only even came up with that because I had didn't have three salon So if I open salon plus magic plus double summon It's ridiculous because I can uh normal summon the first magilin search another one Uh double summon some of the other magilin search a third magilin salon summon that magilin and then search out whatever I want Right. Yeah, crazy. Yeah, it's because double summon because we double summon salon are worded.
They They they stack Um because double summon doesn't get because double summon gives you an additional normal summon because it changes specifically How many normal summons you get as a law whereas law and just activate to normal summon a adult jay Because it modify your normal summons per turn Well The deck I always want to learn and play behind around to I think is an interesting question And you can be sure to answer that question on our in response to our twitter post which will go up around the time of the podcast going up And you can also answer it in our podcast question that I channel on in our discord server Thank you all again so much for your support. Thank you for the love it means the world so thank you all for listening. Have a good day Take care everyone
