My name is Sonny and I'm here hosting with... As always, it is me, Jam the Man, Caleb. Oh, right. Well, we are so happy to have you here, Caleb, of course.
And I'm happy to be here. And I'm sure all of our listeners are happy to be here. So, to start out the episode, we are going to do a couple of quick... Just quick hits to please remember to follow us on Twitter at Top Cut Podcast.
Be sure to follow Caleb at Jam the Man 17. You can follow me at that, Chumly. We also want to be sure that you remember that we have a Discord server, which we are very excited about. We have a lot of fun.
We do a lot of remote duels. We interact a ton with our different members of the community and stuff. It's like 70 people strong now. So, it's still not the biggest community in the world, but we are very happy to be here, very happy to have this community, very happy to have everybody come and check us out.
So, please come check us on the Discord server. Next thing is to be sure to check out Team Darkraum Dealings. There are link will be in the description below. They are our sister YouTube channel.
The channels run by Dylan and Trevor, who have both been on the podcast, very cool people. Very cool people, right? Guys from our locals. And if you haven't listened to their episodes, be sure to check those out.
The last thing I'm going to talk about real quick is we did start a Patreon recently. This is a way for us to have the... Be able to get... We want some new equipment.
We want some sound boards and pop filters, things like that. All very expensive. Yeah, well, that itself is not the most expensive thing in the world. We want to save up.
We can be able to get new microphones. We want to be able to do artwork for the podcast, things like that. You know, be able to pay an artist to actually do the artwork. Commissioned artwork, things like that, right?
And the ability to do that comes with your support from the listeners. If that is something that you're interested in doing, we do three packages on our Patreon page. We have a $1 package, a $5 package, and a $10 package. The $5 package gets you...
And the $1 package shows support, and you get a shout out at the beginning of every episode. The $5 package gets you that, and it gets you an extra episode every week. So for those that just cannot get enough, you do get... There's an opportunity for you to get an extra episode each week, including a new series that we are starting this week, where we go set by set and review every set in UGO's history.
For now, it's just gonna be the core sets. We're still figuring stuff out on that. Yeah, we're gonna get all the exact setup of it down later. But those episodes will be releasing probably every Wednesday.
That's not set in stone, but that's when we release the first one. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, and then the $10 tier gets you access to a live stream once a week, when we record one of our podcasts. So we post every Tuesday and Friday, but we record generally every Sunday and Wednesday, unless something comes up.
And there will be a link sent out to our patrons, with the ability to watch us as we record. Yeah, so they get to see all the mistakes we make. Exactly. So if you're interested in any of that, please be sure to follow us on Patreon, and I absolutely click the link in the description below.
But for now, our five patrons that we have already are ScuzzDaddy, Adele Saeed, Jeremy Drysdale, Ray Powell, and Austin Johnson. So thank you for all of your support, Fellas. We do have some quick play news to get into. First off, we know, know that the set after Bursa Destiny Bowed is called Dimension Force.
Very interesting. Yes, here's hoping that maybe there's some new DDD stuff. Maybe, I never thought about it like that. Yeah, you know, maybe make a DD its own archetype.
Right, so this will be the set after, is it Dimension Battle of Battle of Chaos? Battle of Battle of Chaos. Battle of Chaos, right, which is after Bursa Destiny. Yes, we have, yeah, so basically we have Bursa Destiny, and then after that it's Battle of Chaos, and then Dimension Force.
Right, right, right. All we have is a name right now. And that's fine. So that'll be the OCG's February set, I believe.
The release date in OCG is January 15th. There you go. Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, OCG gets herself real quick after that.
It gets announced and we get like a year later. Right, right, yeah. Now this pack will literally probably come out sometime around like April or May of next year. Yeah, for us.
Anyway, that's about what we got for that. Next up, the next V-junk card is... Propriotis warrior lady. Propriotis, by the way, means giving or indicating a good chance of success.
So this is actually a V-junk that we talked about in a previous episode, but literally all we had was name and an artwork. Now here we have the full effect. Yes, so for those who don't know, the artwork, it's DD Warrior Lady or a Warrior Lady from a wasteland, but a younger version of her. So this is her before she was even Warrior Lady from other wasteland or whatever.
So it's a Warrior effect, Earth Level 3 with 1,000 tag, 800 of Fence. You can only use this card's first and second effect of this card's name once per turn. She's visibly like a lot younger in this. Very visibly.
Yeah, like she looks like she's like 18, 17, 16, like getting out on her own becoming an adventurer. Whereas the DD Warrior Lady artwork, like she's seen some stuff. Yeah, she's like 28 and then Warrior Lady at the wasteland, she's in her early 20s. Anyway, first effect.
When an attack is declared involving your other Warrior Monster and an opponent's face-up monster. So based on that wording, it's when either your Warrior Monster's declared an attack or your opponent's declared an attack on one of your warriors. You can send this card from your hand or field to the graveyard. That opponent's monster loses an attack equal to his original attack until the end of this turn.
So it's kind of like a janky, more complicated honest? More like Dark Honors. Because Dark Honors also makes them lose their attack, but it's their current attack not their original. This is their original.
Gotcha. So let's say just for the argument, it's a dark magician with spell book of secrets equipped to it. So it has 3,000 attack. It would only lose 2,500.
Right. Just off the top of my head, because I'm playing some Duquixo duels of the roses recently. That's the first question in my head. Anyway.
I was wondering, I was like, dark magician equipped with this? It was oddly specific. Yeah, yeah. Two.
You can manage this card from your graveyard and then turn an Earth Warrior monster in your graveyard and it's your hand. So it actually puts itself in the graveyard and then you can use this as a factor in the same turn. Right. It can become an extender for an Earth Warrior deck like.
Warrock, Goki. Well, Warrock doesn't need all the help they can get. Yeah. I mean, again, this is a great for Goki.
And to a much lesser extent, Heroes. So in that, just a warrior honest for any warriors. Right. Yeah.
Again, though, the banished at a new Warrior monster from graveyard to hand is exclusively for Earth Warriors. That's not a whole lot of those. No, there's not this. Surprisingly.
This card. It's very met. It's not good. It's not good.
Yeah. I mean, in Goki, it's niche. It's neat. Again, because Goki's you do declare attack a lot.
So you get that effect off to recur a lot. But I'm 99% sure there's something that you would rather see every time you see this thing. It's not good. Yeah.
I would not like. I wouldn't be like thrilled to. Like, I don't know. I feel like there's better ways that they could support.
I don't know. I guess I just want to like everything you've done on us. But like, this is unnecessary. Well, that's the thing.
Because right now the only thing that has honest is honest, dark honest for darks, and this thing for warriors. Yes. So, no, no, no, it is what it is. It's kind of disappointing for a V-jum promo.
Well, to be fair, a lot of V-jum promos these days are not, you know. Fair. I used to V-jum promos being stuff like Black Ship of Corn, which at the time was very stupidly good. Oh my god.
It was OK. OK. OK. Let's not over-height Black Ship of Corn.
It wasn't very stupidly good. It was surprisingly good for what it was. No, no. A much more impactful promo would have been number 16, Shockmaster.
Fair enough. I keep forgetting Shockmaster was originally a V-jum promo. Yeah, yeah. Shockmaster was like all the way to a jump promo.
That Shockmaster, like, top five promos of all time. Yeah. Again, this is what I used to with V-jum promos. Summon sword.
Summon sword. Summon sword. Also, I, uh, I should say, summon sword. Oh, sword.
I thought you said sword. I was like, oh, no. No, summon sword sword. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's a, yeah.
There's been some impactful ones, but like. I mean, then you've also got the victory dragons. Was that a promo? Yeah.
That's where I got my copy from originally from a V-jum. I never realized that. I guess it makes sense. It's just bad, but not because it's good, but because it's a match winner.
And you know, hilariously, that's not even the reason that that card should never come off the ban list. That card creates policy issues. It really can. Because, like, so theoretically, there's like, if you're in that situation, then there's a, basically whatever, if, you know, if this card attacks your opponent directly and reduces their life on to zero, you win the match.
Yeah. Right. But the thing about it is the card's not good. Not because your opponent can just scoop up as soon as they see it coming.
Yeah. So, you should go to clear attack, scoop. Not even that. You just like, enter battle phase, like, okay, scoop.
Yeah. And then it creates a situation where, like, it creates an awkward situation for judges. Like, I saw, I saw just in code, I talked about this one time, or it was MBT on one of their channels, and they talked about victory dragon coming off the list. And that was the reason and given that, like, it can't.
Because it creates, it creates bad and to match procedures and it makes things hard for judges. Yeah, exactly. Because then it comes down to scooping like. Unsportable like conduct.
Yeah. Is it just part of the game? Can you just surrender at any time? Or can you only surrender during certain parts of the game?
Yeah. And then it creates a match interactions that don't currently exist. Yeah. Which is why there's no reason for it to ever come off the list.
Yeah, which would create a procedural headache. Right. It's just not worth it. And then I kind of hope we don't ever get any of the other ones.
What do you mean by any of the other ones? Like the match winners? Yeah, in the OCD, there's a couple more match winners. Well, yeah, but I think most of them are like world's prize cards and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But even though I hope we never get any more of them. And I kind of hope Konami never prints it. Well, and all the ones that are in the game, most of them at the bottom of the cards they just cannot be used in a duel.
Yes. Yes. Yeah. So that's it all.
Yeah, well, they would have to. Yeah. Keep it relegated to Kitchen Table UGO. So, hey, everybody, wanted to take just a moment to talk about ETB Games in Alexandria, Louisiana.
ETB Games is your one place to go in and find all the things you want for all those things that we love. You can find stuff for figurines, for D&D tabletop games. You can find things for Magic, the Gathering, Pokemon, UGO, all your different cards, your different sleeves. You can find all your things for pretty much whatever you want.
And be sure to check it out this weekend in particular if you're nearby. This weekend on September 11th, there will be a large UGO tournament. They're trying to get as many people as possible. And Minkail will be there if you want to see us.
Be sure to check it out. And that'll be this weekend. So, again, please check out ETB Games in Alexandria, Louisiana. That is ETB Games dot com.
And there's a link in the description below. We do. We are going to move on here to the main event, which is an OCG Medigame Breakdown for those who did not read the title. But in between, I want to take a break.
We are no longer sponsored by Anchor. But we're going to take this moment instead to talk about our biggest supporter, which is one of our fans who left a rating for us on Apple Podcast. So to Daniel 3, 7, 5, 8, he left a 5 star rating for us. Fun to listen to.
I found this podcast after a recent return to playing UGO after a long break. I don't know what the meta is, but I like hearing about how things are going so I can learn. These two are fun hosts who make me laugh while informing me about dual monsters news. Thank you so much for the kind review, Daniel.
Thank you so much for the support. And hopefully with enough listening to this, you will know what the meta is. Speaking of meta, though, this past weekend was actually the Latin American remote dual, uh, remote dual, infatational. Oh, true.
That was something I was supposed to come and quickly news. I jumped over it. My bad guys. Okay, so in top four, we have Gerald S who's running in Vogue Dogma Dolls.
Interesting. Windows is strong card, I guess. Um, Kellen B running Virtual World. Uh, interesting.
Shenzhen is a heck of a card. Yep. And then second place was Andre's T running Drytron. Interesting.
Harold of Oldham is a heck of a card. And in first place was Jose L running Zodiac Tribergade. Interesting. Tribergade Revolt is a heck of a card.
Just anyway, it's just the span of the meta that Latin America seems to have. Okay, so let's take a quick moment. So this will be a good segue into the OCD meta game breakdown. So for those that don't know, we can't actually address this because a lot of our listeners are either newer returning players or don't know a ton about the game, which that's perfectly fine.
Uh, there's a lot to enjoy about the game and a lot to love about the game. So for those that don't know, the meta game, the meta, the game within the game, right, exactly is defined as kind of, okay, so basically it's what everyone is currently doing. Right. So this is like the definition of what are the top decks in the game?
What are the best things to play? What are tier? Let's tier two, let's rogue. Right.
Right. So the tier one decks will be like the best decks in the format. Currently in the TCG, you would be thinking about things like Drytron, Tribergade, Prankets. Those are really basically what I consider the main tier one decks.
Then you have decks that are like very solidly tier two, we're a very high end tier two, which is like virtual world, Sky Striker, Salomon, great. Invoked dog, McDonald's, Evoked dog, McDonald's, Phantom Knight, Burning Abyss, colloquially, colloquially called PK Fire. Right. And these are all decks that are very competitive and a good pilot can take 50% or more of their games off of tier one decks, but they suffer a bit from consistency and power ceiling.
Yeah. So, and then recently, older guys is proving itself to be pretty solidly tier two as well. Yeah. Older guys is definitely like one of the strongest rogue decks in my opinion.
Oh, yeah. I know. Like a, in my opinion, it's starting to kind of eke its way into outriving tier two at this point. Yeah.
I mean, it's definitely getting up there. If not, it is probably the number one rogue deck right now. Yeah, it's up there for sure. You still have things like Madolce cropping up a lot?
Oh, yeah. I mean, Madolce actually just won the European Invitational, I believe. Yeah, they got top four. I think after Swiss, he was first.
Oh, shoot. Okay. Well, there's that. And that's actual Benoit who got top four.
Oh, yeah. That's why I was thinking I was European YCS. Yeah. So he got top four, the European YCS and then in the Invitational with the one opinion, one that tastes the sex in the format.
I mean, you're not wrong. Yeah. Invitational, he got first after Swiss, I believe. I mean, I mean, the top eight of that event is a loaded.
You had actual Benoit, Pily, Madolce. You had Tatsum, who was a guest on this podcast. SuperDude. Right.
And then you had Rafael Nevin who just won the European YCS. And what's funny is his only lost nine entire YCS was to actual Benoit, Madolce. Oh, my lord. Yeah.
So it's the top eight for that Invitational was really stacked. Good stuff. Oh, yeah. No, that, you know, I bet that was, I bet that would have been really fun to have watched.
Absolutely. But as far as the metagame goes, the metagame doesn't just concern what are the top decks though. A lot of things, so they have a lot of people do what they call metagame, where like they'll predict going into an event. I expect to see a lot of this.
Ex-tech or a lot of people running this or why particular card, right? So like a good example is actual Benoit, Pilate and Madolce, which he's always run Madolce, but the point is it's a good metagame call right now because of the ability to mean deck dimension shifter. Oh, yeah. I mean, also the lack of people really understanding what the deck can do, which in and of itself is also a metacall.
Right. Right. So like another great example of this is like last December, pack, top, I don't know if it was an extravaganza or an invitation only top to major tournament. And he was running Virtual World.
And this was the very first day that Virtual World was legal in the CCG, which makes it a great metagame choice because most of your opponents don't know what your cards do. Yep. So you're going to spend a lot of time just kind of going, can I read that card? Exactly.
So the ability to pilot decks that are lesser known and things can be a serious advantage. I mean, your opponent not knowing what your deck does can just be the difference maker. So that's why it's so important to listen to us every week and find out what everything does. Oh, yeah.
No, no, especially with Olshay because that's the deck I'm meaning right now. Right. So going ahead and getting into the actual meat of the podcast, today we are doing an ocg metagame report. This comes courtesy of roadoftheking.com.
So for those of you wondering where the king.com is a mainly ocg news site. They do breakdowns. They do break down. They cover the agent championship.
They cover all the Hong Kong tournaments, all the ocg tournaments. They cover them, give deck profiles, give top cut breakdowns, all that, basically anything over like 50 players. Oh, yeah. So and when we get these metagame reports, this is a breakdown of like 75 topping decks from 13 tournaments across Japan and China.
Oh, yeah. I know. By the way, for those of you who don't know who are in the, the difference, the ocg is very specifically right and South Korea, Hong Kong and China. And I think parts of ocean, all right.
Yeah, like that's Thailand. Yeah, that would be part of Thailand. Singapore area. Yeah.
Yeah. Bunch of all the little tinier islands and countries all around there. The TCG is literally everywhere else. Yeah.
So ocg stands for original card game and TCG stands for trading card game. So all your European, American, Russia, South America, Australia, Canada, right. All of that qualifies as TCG. Yeah.
Shout out New Zealand listeners. We see you. You're the second most represented country in our statistics. I'm just saying.
Yeah. Shout out New Zealand. So that's why I brought them up specifically. There you go.
But this will be an ocg meta game breakdown and why this is important is the ocg is always like one to two sets ahead of us. Just something about the way the release schedule has just always worked is that the ocg just gets stuff before we do. They get their core sets three to four months in advance. They get side sets in advance.
I mean, we've been trying to get the cyber structure deck here since they were supposed to come out in June. It's slated currently for October. And they've had a sense like February. No, it hasn't been quite February.
It feels like it. Yeah, it does. I think they got it in like May or June. Okay.
But still still. Yeah, that still that's right. That's its own thing. They get products that we don't get.
They get exclusive sleeves. They get exclusive play mats. They get different artwork for different cards. They get a lot of different stuff.
We don't get there's also a couple of sets that they get that we don't. Yeah, they got a Drigunati structure that we didn't get. Yeah. Instead they just made it into a product.
Yeah, then years ago, they actually used to have a set that was nothing but TCG imports. They still do every year. There you go. Which is a set that we don't get for OCG imports because there are cards that are TCG exclusive and OCG exclusive.
Right. So like Drigun was OCG exclusive for the more time. A great example for TCG exclusive right now is Beach Ruppers. Right.
The entire art type is TCG only. Warrock. Yeah. They finally got it and they got the better artwork for it.
I don't think they're all because any different. I think you're wrong. I'll show you your pictures later. Okay.
Regardless. So this OCG beta game breakdown gives us a look to the future. Even though they have a different ban list and a lot of their game is different. It's still relatively similar.
It's similar enough that we can get overarching themes and we'll point out the key differences in the formats and why certain things won't translate here. But as a whole, you are going to see that a lot of this will translate eventually. For example, Zodiac Trivergate was the best deck over here. Three to four months before it's the best deck over here.
So so the first thing we want to talk about. And again, you can get all this. They updated weekly on groadyking.com which is the link in the description below. We're start with medic.
We haven't done this in a while and they do it every week during the format. So medicain report number seven is actually two and a half weeks ago. This came out. And the time, the archetype sword soul, which releases immersive destiny in a few weeks here, was the top deck at 12% of the meta of 12% of the topping decks.
So this is 75 decks. Then you had Eldritch at 10.7%, Drytron at 9.3, Destiny here, Scratch Tracker at 8.0, Trivergate at 8, Shadow at 6.7 here at 5.3, VW at 5.3, or Virtual World at Ignister at 5.3 and others at 29.3. I'm not going to do the deck by deck breakdown because we want to really want to get into the most recent information possible. Yeah.
But just to show you how fast the medicain progress and change. Right. The next very next week, this is 51 top decks from 10 tournaments. The only release in between was that they got a V jump called Victoria the Angel of Courage, which is not playable.
Nope. Okay. The top deck in the meta is Virtual World at 17.6, then Skystracker at 11.8, then Drytron at 9.8, Sword Soul at 7.8, Zephra at 7.8, Invoked at 5.9, Trivergate at 5.9, and then others at 33.3. So Sword Soul got went from number one to other.
It went to four. Okay. I went to four. And Virtual World went from like six to one.
The representation tripled. Keep in mind, you hear Virtual World topping over here and you're like, wow, that's pretty good. Do you know this any other deck that doesn't trick you anymore? The deck, you know, they still have tricking, don't they?
Exactly. Over there, they still have one VFD, one Trinkin of all calamities. So Virtual World is still like a top contender over there. In the same way, they also have Max-C.
Yeah, they still have Max-C. So the meta games are really different because of that. The decks like Drytron are generally not as good because it's straight combo. Oh yeah.
And Max-C just ends it. Oh yeah, give mine generally. They also have Cross-side Desonator, which is another amazing card that we don't have access to, which I'm pretty sure they had originally limited Call by the Grave to push that card because that card was a bout to get released. And it just didn't get released over here.
And it released. Yeah. So this Prothery's Armette is so much more combo oriented as compared to the OCG meta. Yeah, yeah.
The OCG meta game has always been typically slower. A lot more control oriented. Right. So now we're in the meta game report number nine, which is this past week.
Right. This is released on September the 4th. Another one released on September the 11th. More than likely.
So there has been a new product released, which is Deck Build Pack Grand Creators. That's what's slated to release in January here. And it's already released. Yeah.
So, Grand Creators has stuff like... The art does the graffiti one? Yeah, they have punk. They have the punk archetype.
They think that's where we're getting the hero token. Brave token. Brave token. That's what it is.
Brave token. And there's another one. It's the one, the adventure one. Or is that Brave token?
That's Brave token. Long story short. It's like three new archetypes worth of cards. A couple other in-between cards, couple of reprints, blah, blah, blah.
What's the meta look like now? Very different. So the breakdown here is Drytron at 16.4%. Virtual order at 16.4.
Sword Soul at 13.1. Elditch at 9.8. Destiny of Skystroke at 4.9. And others at 34.4.
Very different. Because first off, Drytron is always up at number one. And part of that is because they still have three Ben 10. Yeah.
They never got around to limiting or even semi-limiting Ben 10 over there. Which is kind of disgusting. The other thing coming in Grand Creator is Exorcistors. Ah, the Exorcistors, right.
Right. So, right. That's what it is. Anyway, so I'm going to go through the entire list of everything in top here.
A couple of things to know is when I say Destiny Hero, a Destiny Hero, this, like for example there's 10 Drytron, 9 Drytron, and 1 Destiny Hero, Drytron. 9 times out of 10 what they mean is they're running. It's Fusion Destiny and... Like, I don't even know what...
One Dasher, one something else that they can make. Dark Phoenix Enforcer. Is it Dark Phoenix? Like...
Maybe Shadow Phoenix? It's something Phoenix Enforcer. Yeah. So there's a new Destiny or Fusion that's basically like the new version of Dragoon.
And Dragoon is banned over there. So they can literally just splash the Verthys, splash Fusion Destiny, a couple of Destiny Hero monsters and do the Shadow Phoenix Enforcer? Destroy Phoenix Enforcer. Destroy Phoenix Enforcer.
I Googled it real quick. Yeah. So it's just a quick splashable engine, one card engine, or well, like one Fusion Destiny does it or... Yeah, and then two effect monsters to make Verthys.
Oh, yeah, yeah. For the Garnets that they would run, it's a level 6 or higher Hero Monster and a Destiny Hero Monster. And it's Destiny Hero Dasher and Celestial I think is what they usually use. Yeah, but I mean, as long as you have a little...
Right. I mean, you technically use Blade Edge if you really wanted to. Yeah. All that matters is you have a Destiny Hero and a level 6 or higher Hero Monster.
It's all that matters. Okay, so the total breakdown is... And this is 61 top performing decks from 12 tournaments. So 10 Dry Trons, which is 9 Dry Trons, 1 Destiny Dry Tron, 10 Virtual World, 8 Sword Soul, which this is weird.
3 Sword Soul, Pure, 2 Destiny Hero Sword Soul, 2 Destiny Hero, 10 E Sword Soul, and 1 10 E Sword Soul. 6 Eldritch, which is 3 Eldritch, Pure Eldritch, 2 Destiny Hero Eldritch, and 1 Grass Eldritch. So... That grass looks greener.
Alright, that grass looks greener is legal in the OCG. I think it's too obvious actually. Yeah. Which is crazy to me.
3 Destiny Hero Sky Striker, 3 Triber Gate, which is 1 Triber Gate, 1 Zu Triber Gate, and 1 Destiny Hero Zu Triber Gate. 2 Danger Dark World. That deck is possible over there, I think also because of some certain... certain banless changes.
Yeah. Something's different there. 2 Destiny Hero Invoked, 2 Flunder, Destiny Hero Invoked. Some people just want to watch the World Burn.
Apparently. 2 Flunder E's, 2 Hero, 2 Prankid, which is 1 Prankid, and 1 Brave Token Prankid. 2 Add Ignister, 1 Ad Grass, Destiny Hero Invoked Shadal, 1 Grass, 1 Grass, 1 Grass, 1 Grass, 1 Power Sword, and the Link V Nightmare-, at the end of world? No.
Yeah. The Underworld Goddess of the Knight, or whatever. Yeah. The Link V, that's like yeah, it's a bunch of monsters.
But you use this one, you're a Pwnerspawnsster to make it too. You just steal it. It's ridiculous. Pretty much.
Yes. It's pretty standard list. The only thing that I see here that I really just flat out don't agree with... Is there any 3 Lightning Storms and a Duster in the Side deck?
Any chainables. No chainables. I don't know. I don't know.
I guess the spells are going to go off without Hinch. Maybe I-O just isn't as prevalent over there. It's gotta be. Yeah, I think that's about it for this.
We're going to go into Virtual World now. Oh, he, uh, this guy's a good competitor. He's participated in multiple Asia championships. He finished ninth in the Asia championship 2017, barely missing out on top cut.
Then he was finished top eight in 2019 with Salad. And this time he opted for Virtual World. He went six to finish top eight in a 300-man tournament. Let's see.
The list looks pretty box standard. Um, the really weird thing is that I think, okay, so that's three of the level six. I think that's GG or level three is GG. Level six is- oh my god.
I don't know the names. I just rather don't know any of the names. I know it's got only two Nanyan, but three of all the other ones. Yeah.
So two maxi, three ash, gamma package, which is only three cards over there. Um, three kinglong, three of the other one that searches. Uh, Kaloon. Yeah.
Two desires, three cross-eyed designator, two called by the grave, two emergency teleport, one triple tactics talent, two choo-chay, and one of the other trap card that is a newer release. 41 cards total, weird that you're- I feel like you could cut the triple tactics and be at 40, but okay. Whatever. Uh, you do you.
Um, the extra deck, I recognize about five of these cards. Uh, so you have the- uh, the Virtual World, Synchro Six, Stardust, Charged Warrior, Coral, Dragon. Uh, you have the, uh, Stardust, Clear Wings, Synchro. Uh, Shen- Shen, you have Cloud Castle.
Uh, yeah, that's Cloud Castle. Ravenous, Crocco, Dragon. Uh, Vermilion, Mathemic, Ultimyse, Elkin. Uh, Phantom Nights at Breaksword.
Uh, that's the Virtual World Fan Fan, the Rank Six. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Um, so the Psy Deck has a couple of interesting options. Uh, Tunobiru, I think Nibiru, is semi-limited over there. I'm not sure. Uh, one, Lancia.
None of the main ones inside. That is because Lancia gets Psy Decked against its deck. They deck it in, in game two, and they can either, Lancia their opponent, if they have it in hand, or they can cross that designator and get rid of the one Lancia, then you're going to get to the one in Science, yeah. Yep.
Okay. So the third Maxine, the Psy Deck, three Troll and the Psy Deck, three Dark Roll and a More, two Lightning Swarm, one Duster, one I.O, one Red Reboot. So, uh, it's a pretty standard VW list. The main difference over there was over here is that they don't want to go back and over there because they have, they have Drew King, why would they?
Yeah, they don't need it. Right. So, um, but yeah. So pretty standard stuff.
Um, so next we have Sword Soul. A card by card on the Sword Soul is that they have, um, they reduce some of the stuff in the main decks on the Sword Soul cards to start running Triple T and Prosperity to increase consistency of the deck. Yeah. So you've got- They're still kind of tinkering with it.
They'll figure it out. Right. So you've got the three main Sword Soul main deck monsters running three of each, uh, then you've got the three of the Ecclesia, the new Ecclesia, that's OCC only right now. Yeah.
Because of the first Destiny, I believe. Uh, then you have three Maxine, three Ash, the Game of Package, which is three cards, um, three of one of the Sword Soul spell cards, three Desires, one Prosperity, two Talents, such weird ratios, two Cross-eyed Designator, one called by three Imperm, uh, two of the, uh, Trap Card for Sword Soul, uh, one I.O. and one. I hit Razzas cards, like only got 2G, one Vanity's Emptyness.
Oh yeah, Vanity's Emptyness, yeah. That's legal there. Yup. Um, okay.
Um, and then going forward, we have one of the Dark Level 6 Sword Soul Synchros, two of the Light Level- wait, is that level seven? How are they hitting seven? One Dark Level 7 Synchro that I don't know if- two Light Level 8s, those are- three Light Level 8s, two of one and one of the other. Those are gonna be the Sword Souls.
Yeah, yeah. Um, one Draco Preserker of the Teni, one Colossal Five, and one Dark Level 7, and then one Dark Level 1 Colossal Fighter. This is here specifically for a Max-C Loop. Yes, if your opponent, um, Max-C usually when they also have a monster who is higher attack than a Colossal Fighter, like around 3K.
Yeah, you just make Colossal Fighter attack into the monster. Your Colossal Fighter dies, you take like 200 damage, affect a Colossal Fighter than Prox. When Colossal White battles into the graveyard, you special him to wear a monster in your graveyard, special him back out the Colossal Fighter. Your opponent draws a card.
Attack again. Draws on the card, and you just keep going until they deck out, which I think is hilarious. Yeah, yeah, the ability to deck out your opponent is really funny. To punish them for, uh, daring to hit you with a Max-C.
Right. Um, one Crimson Blader, one just for the mirror, right? One of the Black Rose level 10. Ooh, Rode-Rose Dragon, yeah.
I guess. It must be Rode-Rose. Well, Rode-Rose-Rose, Bloody Rose Dragon for them. Yeah.
Uh, here's a Water level 10. I believe that is there in archetype level 10, Synchro. Yeah, maybe. Uh, and then one, uh, Chevalier, is it, what is the name of the Chevalier level 10?
Baroness. Yeah, Baroness the Flur. Baroness the Flur, right. Um, they're also running a Bistweller, a...
Cause the Bistweller is a Bistweller. Right. I think that is an Earth rank 4? Uh, two double Azous and one Lila.
I don't know what the Earth rank 4 is. Uh, Zydec, a pink for going second, two Nibs, three Lanceya, three token collector for the mirror match, token collector shuts Zydec down. Uh, two Ghostbell, one Duster, one Zclim, one Twin Twister, one Red River. Why?
The ratios here are so sucky. The ratios here piss me off. I mean, that's fair cause they run random one and two Oves. But you can't even, like I understand running random one and two Oves if you're using Crossout Desinator.
Right. But Crossout Desinator only works on monsters. Yeah. Right.
Yeah, I'm like 99% sure of that. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. So I'm going to go back to this extra space that I have nothing to put in, which is a lot of confidence.
Let me tell ya. Okay. So let's, I really want to get into this next egg list because it's dumb. Okay.
So we've got, this is pure Eldlitch. This man went 511 and finished first in this, uh, 3v3 team tournament, which had 23 teams or 69 nice participants. We're going to get some interesting stuff here. Okay.
So three Eldlitch. The game. Boy. Right.
Three of the golden lord, the gamma package. Simple. Um, two curse Eldlend, which is semi-limited over there. And excuse me, one Eldlix are black awakening, one white elixir of, uh, Eldlix are white destiny, three extra against two prosperity.
And then you have three Scarlet Sanguine, three conquistador, two Aquarro. Then you have one of an Eldlitch truck part that I do under the name of. Is it the line one? No, it's not the line one.
It's a different one. Okay. Looks like there's a light coming down from above. I don't exactly know what I mean.
It turns out it's all Japanese. I can't reach Japanese. Uh, three storm strikes, two solemn judgments, three strong attributes, three skilled rain, because the Lord's reign is at three over there. One IO, two dogmatic punishment and the really spicy tech card of the deck, two debarrier.
Wait, how many trap cards is that? That'd be 25 traps. And there's only one monster he commits to the board. Pretty much, yeah.
I mean, there's some interesting tech cards in the extra deck though that, uh, maybe it's an almost. Fair enough. So here's the fun thing about this. He's running two debarrier.
De-de-bearer is not just a meta call for certain decks. It's a meta call because you can chain it to fusion destiny, call fusion and it stops the destiny or a disroiffy Phoenix enforcer. Yup. So that's a really interesting tech.
And not only that, also since your opponent is some of the monsters, you probably know what their entire, if you, if you're a, no, the meta, you pretty much know what they're going to do. Right. So the extra expert interest in three in tests, one, um, for the win Pegasus, add agnister. Those are all for punishments.
