MY META TIER LIST FOR OCTOBER 2026 POST BANLIST! — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Hey guys, Lago here and today we have a
2. 0:02postbless list meta tier list for the
3. 0:04new current state of Yu-Gi-Oh. This is
4. 0:06going to be right after the ban list but
5. 0:07before um the new tune stuff comes out.
6. 0:09We have this cool like four-week period
7. 0:10format where we just get to um like have
8. 0:13all these like neuter decks uh in
9. 0:14comparison to like the high ceiling
10. 0:16decks that are coming out. And so it's a
11. 0:17pretty neat format honestly and now that
12. 0:18I've had some time to reflect over I'm
13. 0:20actually pretty happy with this form. I
14. 0:21think Konami is done a very good job for
15. 0:23the man list. Before I get into anything
16. 0:25else, I did want to talk about the
17. 0:26updated uh Angeli Grandmaster class that
18. 0:30Triff and I have done. You guys can
19. 0:31check that out in the description if you
20. 0:32want to learn how to play Angeli because
21. 0:33I I hate to spoil this right here, but
22. 0:35Angeli is like probably the best deck of
23. 0:37the format. Um it's like one of the only
24. 0:38decks that didn't go completely
25. 0:40untouched. Like I looked at my my deck
26. 0:42from YCS uh YCS Houston that I just came
27. 0:44back from. I got top 32 by the way with
28. 0:45Angel Key. Only reason I didn't make top
29. 0:47four because I had the same record as it
30. 0:49is. It's just unfortunate tiebreakers.
31. 0:51But um was looking over my deck list.
32. 0:54One card changed in my entire deck list
33. 0:56and it's draw went from two to one. Like
34. 0:58this deck is basically just like fully
35. 1:00untouched. It is it is so so promising
36. 1:02in the next one. But if you want to
37. 1:03actually learn how to play this deck,
38. 1:04you guys can check that out in the
39. 1:05description. Um it goes through like
40. 1:07basically everything you'd ever need to
41. 1:08know about playing Angeli as well as the
42. 1:10the postbless changes to it. Um and then
43. 1:12we have Invoked. Invoked is another deck
44. 1:14that I think is is pretty decent to this
45. 1:15next form right here. Um this is one of
46. 1:16the decks I actually lost to at YCS
47. 1:18Houston. The only thing that I would say
48. 1:20about this deck is that you have to be
49. 1:21super aware of its like major lack of
50. 1:23consistency. And if it if Angeli like
51. 1:26starts to like appear more in the
52. 1:28format, you are just going to lose
53. 1:29because you're just going to get out
54. 1:31hand trapped by Angeli. Uh and you just
55. 1:33won't have enough like pushes through
56. 1:34their their interactions to actually get
57. 1:36there. That was one major thing is like
58. 1:38um the invoke deck already has like kind
59. 1:40of a teetering edge with consistency
60. 1:42unless you play like the um like big
61. 1:44majestus package in there, which I'm
62. 1:45just not the biggest fan of. Um, but if
63. 1:49you do manage to play, you have like a
64. 1:50crazy instance into that the chess deck,
65. 1:52like they can't play into your board.
66. 1:54However, you're just never going to be
67. 1:55able to like truly establish your board.
68. 1:57Uh, so just be be aware of that if
69. 1:58you're choosing this deck here. But I
70. 1:59don't I don't think invoked is
71. 2:00necessarily a bad pick. It just was
72. 2:02really shaped by how it plays into
73. 2:03Angelic Key. And then we have Art Mage.
74. 2:05I think Art Mage is like probably the
75. 2:08best combo deck of the format with Angel
76. 2:10just being like basically the
77. 2:11counterpick to all like current meta
78. 2:13decks. Um the actual like best combo de
79. 2:15deck itself that stands is Art Mage. Art
80. 2:18Mage has such a powerful matchup because
81. 2:20of the non-union he gets to play. Angel
82. 2:21and Jeliki gets absolutely blown out by
83. 2:24board breakers if you guys didn't know.
84. 2:25Um like cuz you can activate pot of
85. 2:27sloth you can pot of sloth and something
86. 2:28like magical spring if you guys don't
87. 2:29know about that either. Magical spring
88. 2:30is a crazy counter card for Angelic. The
89. 2:33only reason it wasn't super super good
90. 2:35in any deck besides Ro for the YCS YCS
91. 2:37Houston is for the fact that you would
92. 2:40draw into like four different cards,
93. 2:42five different cards and discard like
94. 2:43one card, but you you still couldn't
95. 2:47play through that board, you know, like
96. 2:48it was floodgates. It wasn't like
97. 2:50interactions. You didn't need to draw
98. 2:51more lines of play. You needed to
99. 2:53actually draw into um like like powerful
100. 2:56board breakers that could trade with
101. 2:57those floodgates to enable you to be
102. 2:59able to break through the board. And you
103. 3:00just couldn't play those in those
104. 3:01previous formats. Um, the only one was
105. 3:02like Rode cuz Ro you could summon like
106. 3:04Black Chaos and your engine was a crazy
107. 3:06board breaker. Um, that just wasn't um
108. 3:08it's just not the case for like every
109. 3:09other deck. But now that we can play um
110. 3:12more things like like board breakers,
111. 3:15more H space trunids in the main deck um
112. 3:17or even like in the side deck or just
113. 3:18general like board breaker type cards.
114. 3:21Um, I think that we'll see that start to
115. 3:22see more play in the overall format. But
116. 3:24specifically, our mage uses it very very
117. 3:26well because you have so many cards that
118. 3:28just like have value just existing in
119. 3:29the graveyard as well as just like like
120. 3:31random other things like that. You can
121. 3:33use it to even proc like your your owl.
122. 3:35Owl is also like a good search. Um, but
123. 3:38that that's like one major thing that I
124. 3:40would I would say is like the the art
125. 3:42mage ninja just has such a powerful like
126. 3:44utility for using spell cards and with
127. 3:46more board breakers being around two
128. 3:47counter angelic key like art mage power
129. 3:49patrons is looking very very insane. I
130. 3:51also think the Blitzclick is a really
131. 3:52interesting deck. I've said it before,
132. 3:54but I actually really like Blitzclick. I
133. 3:55think this deck will do very very good
134. 3:57in the future. Um, the only thing is
135. 3:59that it does also have some consistency
136. 4:01issues. I feel like there's a common
137. 4:02trend going on here with a lot of the
138. 4:03powerful decks having consistency
139. 4:04issues. Um, but Blitzcook has a really
140. 4:06good angelic match up as well. It's just
141. 4:08it has kind of a rougher match up into
142. 4:10like the big big combo boards. But I
143. 4:11think that this deck will start to see
144. 4:13more play um as as like this format
145. 4:18starts to heal a little bit. Just like a
146. 4:19a generally strong deck that can like
147. 4:21have the opportunity to break boards and
148. 4:23have like crazy hand trap potential. Um
149. 4:25it's just like I feel like this deck
150. 4:26needs like one more starter, you know,
151. 4:28and then we're we're good to go. Uh and
152. 4:30then we have um Sacred Beast. Sacred
153. 4:32Beast is another deck that I think is
154. 4:33like pretty solid going into this next
155. 4:35format. Uh its inboard didn't really get
156. 4:37affected. Yes, this deck used to go
157. 4:39through some of those like combo like
158. 4:40link slop type things where you like
159. 4:42make cross sheep. You had the
160. 4:43opportunity to go protect code firewall.
161. 4:45Um but it just it has other options, you
162. 4:47know, like you can just basically play
163. 4:49control with just the the sacred beast
164. 4:51cards and get like a solid inboard. I
165. 4:52mean thunder dragon colossus is still
166. 4:54like a very very good card and so if you
167. 4:55can play that and like a pretty
168. 4:57consistent deck, I think it's it's not a
169. 4:58bad choice. Then we have uh the Destiny
170. 5:01Hero deck. I originally loved this deck.
171. 5:03I thought it was super super cool. I've
172. 5:04gone on record saying like I'm a big
173. 5:06hero fan. Um but man, this deck has its
174. 5:09problems. Like I I could uh I could say
175. 5:11this deck is like just insane and then
176. 5:13try to sell you a product on it, which
177. 5:14I'm not going to do. Um I'm very
178. 5:17truthful with pretty much everything
179. 5:18that I put on the internet as far as
180. 5:19like decks. And if I wanted to sell you
181. 5:21a Destiny Hero guide, I would. I have
182. 5:22the entire thing made already, but the
183. 5:24deck was genuinely just so rough to
184. 5:26play. I would I felt bad like having the
185. 5:28opportunity to put it out. Like I said,
186. 5:29I've made the entire thing already just
187. 5:31because I was going to do it for Destiny
188. 5:33Hero, but I just the deck has so many
189. 5:35problems, you just can't um you just
190. 5:37can't get around it. It has um like so
191. 5:41few starters for what it actually needs
192. 5:43to. Uh and like some of your starters
193. 5:46even like conflict with like the reasons
194. 5:47to play your deck. Like uh the winged
195. 5:50Kuribo Sabatil, that card is like very
196. 5:52very solid. Um, and the fact that it
197. 5:54just adds fusion um, fusion destiny, but
198. 5:58I mean it's a light monster, so if you
199. 5:59play like impulse in your deck, which is
200. 6:01once again another main reason to play
201. 6:02this deck, it kind of just shuts you off
202. 6:04from a lot of plays. Uh, and then into
203. 6:06nib, the deck is like very rough. Um,
204. 6:09hero used to play through nib before
205. 6:10because if you nibbed them, they would
206. 6:11go DP effect pop itself and they would
207. 6:13trigger DP, they'd summon it back and
208. 6:15um, your next standby phase. However,
209. 6:16like now in a lot of the combos, you
210. 6:17really just don't have the opportunity
211. 6:18to do that. You have to special summon
212. 6:20the destiny hero from your deck. Um, I
213. 6:23forgot his name. The big giant guy. Um,
214. 6:26yeah, I don't know. Big guy. Uh, you
215. 6:29summon him from your deck and he is a
216. 6:30mandatory effect to activate if you
217. 6:31special from the effect of clock tower.
218. 6:33Um, to special back to from the
219. 6:35graveyard, but once his effect
220. 6:37activates, even if you don't summon back
221. 6:38anything from the graveyard, um, your
222. 6:40hero monsters can't be destroyed by card
223. 6:41or your destiny hero monsters can't be
224. 6:42destroyed by card effects for the rest
225. 6:43of the turn. And so that like totally
226. 6:45messes up your your DP pop it and self
227. 6:47interaction to dodge a nib. Uh, so you
228. 6:49have to like do funky things to like get
229. 6:51it all to work together and it's
230. 6:52honestly just not worth it. Um, in order
231. 6:54to do that, I will say this deck does
232. 6:56get to play a large amount of non-engine
233. 6:57now and it has a very good matchup into
234. 6:59angelic and so if you're wanting to play
235. 7:01hero, this is not something that I would
236. 7:02say, oh, it's it's a trash deck. But I
237. 7:04just just know that there are better
238. 7:06decks than it have to accept that fact.
239. 7:07You have to like acknowledge the fact
240. 7:08that you're playing Destiny Hero because
241. 7:10it's Destiny Hero, not because it has
242. 7:12advantages over other decks in the
243. 7:13format. Um, Dooms Dooms blows. This is
244. 7:18like the worst power patron deck. People
245. 7:19like it, but no, it's it's just
246. 7:21genuinely bad. Um, Draco Tale, I think
247. 7:23the Draco Tail has lost a lot of value
248. 7:25as well. Um, there are still ways to
249. 7:27play this. You can still technically
250. 7:29activate Branded Fusion and then fusion
251. 7:31summon into Sanctifier and use that to
252. 7:33access your um your Draco
253. 7:34[clears throat] Tail engine. However,
254. 7:36like you you lost access to Albaz being
255. 7:39such a crazy powerful card, but you
256. 7:40still have to play it um just because of
257. 7:42um like the necessities of your deck. it
258. 7:45it's in a pretty awkward spot honestly,
259. 7:47but it is still Draco Tale. It's like
260. 7:49you can still activate Rahu, you can
261. 7:50still activate Ketu, and you can break
262. 7:51boards pretty efficiently. Um, just be
263. 7:53aware that your inboard is significantly
264. 7:55weaker now that you don't have access to
265. 7:56Fallen Virtuous on pretty much every end
266. 7:58board.
267. 8:00Um, Elf Note, I think the Elf Note's a
268. 8:02solid deck in this next format here.
269. 8:03Actually, I'd probably put it like right
270. 8:05here if I had to be honest. Yeah,
271. 8:07probably right here. Um, Elf Note just
272. 8:09has the issues in the fact that like you
273. 8:11you have so
274. 8:13little diverse lines of play in the Elf
275. 8:15Note engine itself. It's basically like
276. 8:17draw Lucina or draw Regina with a name
277. 8:19or you bust. Like it's it's super super
278. 8:21specific on what you have to draw in
279. 8:22order to get the elf engine rolling. And
280. 8:24if you guys have actually ever played
281. 8:25that deck, it kind of felt like Snake
282. 8:27Eye Fiend where like if you started with
283. 8:29the Snake Eye Engine, you felt super
284. 8:30powerful, super uninteractable with you.
285. 8:33you felt like you could push through
286. 8:34anything, get the Fiend smmith stuff on
287. 8:35the way and the Fenixmith stuff will
288. 8:36just like help insulate your F or your
289. 8:38Snake stuff even more. Um, but now it
290. 8:40feels like if you start with like the
291. 8:41other engines, like you feel so prone to
292. 8:44just getting like interacted with at
293. 8:45every point. Um, like if you start with
294. 8:47the Magnus stuff, like you uses two guys
295. 8:49to go through a Medius, Medius gets
296. 8:50stopped by almost every single card that
297. 8:52can activate in the game of Yu-Gi-Oh.
298. 8:53And so you just have to like be aware
299. 8:55that like you you are playing like still
300. 8:57a strong deck, but it's it's it's like
301. 8:59snake after it got hit, you know, like
302. 9:00you're playing more Fenith cards to make
303. 9:02up for the fact that you have less like
304. 9:03actual starters through the engine and
305. 9:05like you're just exposed to certain
306. 9:07things. So you just you have to be aware
307. 9:08of how you're going to be playing this
308. 9:09deck. Um but it is still strong. You can
309. 9:11still get like a ton of good in
310. 9:12interaction. Doesn't matter the drug
311. 9:13store is gone. Doesn't matter Cryst's
312. 9:14gone. Number 90 is not gone. You know,
313. 9:16like that's a monster negate. Um you get
314. 9:18in with Dragite on your field right now.
315. 9:19That's super easy to go through as well.
316. 9:21You can put the um like while link
317. 9:23climbing up, you can go through the
318. 9:24haggarded lizard rose and just just put
319. 9:26that in the grave. That way it's a water
320. 9:27for you to actually have a negate with
321. 9:29which is something neat. Um you were
322. 9:31already considering playing the
323. 9:32haggarded lizard rose in the um arch
324. 9:34magnet stuff anyways and now that's a
325. 9:35much bigger part of the deck. Um it's
326. 9:38something that you can definitely lean
327. 9:39into doing. Usually the builds that I
328. 9:40have seen that are doing fairly well in
329. 9:42like early testing are playing like
330. 9:44multiple of the Ars Magnus starters in
331. 9:45the deck now. And so also just like
332. 9:47having an extra deck that's more
333. 9:49centered around facilitating those cards
334. 9:51seems to make more sense as well. Um but
335. 9:54it's definitely not like a top deck
336. 9:55anymore. One deck that I do think is
337. 9:57actually a top deck is Fairy Tale. Like
338. 9:59I think that honestly if I had to like
339. 10:00if I had to pack up everything um on
340. 10:03today, October 20th, and go to a YCS.
341. 10:07I'm taking one of the three decks right
342. 10:08now. Probably Angel Key for me just cuz
343. 10:10it's I think it's the best deck honestly
344. 10:11into like everything. Um but also it's
345. 10:13the deck that I just feel the most
346. 10:14comfortable with. I definitely think it
347. 10:15is the best deck. Um, fairy tale and art
348. 10:18mage though would be like very very very
349. 10:19high-second choices. I mean, they
350. 10:20basically lost like no ceiling to their
351. 10:22inboard. Quartet being removed from
352. 10:24either one of these decks is like a oh
353. 10:26well that was cool. Glad we could use
354. 10:28that while it was here. Time had time to
355. 10:29do something else. You know, it just
356. 10:31like it didn't really affect them like
357. 10:32super hard. Yes, they played it, but
358. 10:34they played it because the card was
359. 10:35broken, not because they needed the card
360. 10:36to be broken. And Fairy Tale can do
361. 10:39something like almost no other deck can
362. 10:40do. Like you you can just use Fairy Tale
363. 10:42and just search for a droll. like that
364. 10:44is one of the best possible like
365. 10:45layerings to your board is like having a
366. 10:47board plus a droll means it's like super
367. 10:49super hard to actually interact with
368. 10:51your deck. Um, one cool thing about
369. 10:53Fairy Tale is that Fairy Tale seems to
370. 10:55be having a pretty good matchup into
371. 10:56Angelic because the whole snow
372. 10:57interaction, even if you hand trap them
373. 10:59a bunch for for this deck here, um, if
374. 11:02they can find any way to put the snow in
375. 11:04the graveyard, you have like almost no
376. 11:06ways of interacting with that snow um,
377. 11:09before the like angelic deck like tries
378. 11:12to steal battle phase with the Kusanagi.
379. 11:14Then you can just like summon snow and
380. 11:15book it and then their entire like
381. 11:16frontline push is done. Once that
382. 11:18Kusanagi has gone from the the chess
383. 11:20grind game, it's it feels really
384. 11:22awkward. It's basically like chess, like
385. 11:23if you s like push your first like seven
386. 11:25moves in like one attack and then attack
387. 11:27get stopped, you feel like you're you're
388. 11:29like way way way way at a disadvantage.
389. 11:32Um, and so it kind of feels like super
390. 11:33similar to that. Like if your Kusanagi
391. 11:35is gone, like you're just you're just
392. 11:36already crippled for the rest of the
393. 11:37game. Um, and and Fairy Tale has a very
394. 11:39good grind game to begin with. And so
395. 11:40that's just one thing to be aware of. I
396. 11:42think that fairy tale is a very strong
397. 11:42pick in this next format. Um, and then
398. 11:44we have the um the Branded deck. I think
399. 11:47that Branded is is technically still a
400. 11:50playable deck. I just it's not a a good
401. 11:53deck, you know? I mean, let's be honest,
402. 11:55like it's definitely worse than than
403. 11:57Draco Tail. Draco Tail, or sorry, not
404. 11:59Draco Tail. Um, Doomsy Doomsy has it
405. 12:02like it's like merit to where like it's
406. 12:03still a strong combo deck. It just
407. 12:05doesn't have Verudras in there, which is
408. 12:07a little funky. Um, you can play the Ars
409. 12:09Magnus stuff with the Doomsy stuff, by
410. 12:10the way. It's still just bad. you're
411. 12:12just trying to force things to work
412. 12:13together because they almost overlap.
413. 12:14But the branded deck itself is just is
414. 12:16bad. Um, as soon as I I was in the car
415. 12:18with Yasine doing a ban list reaction.
416. 12:20We were we were inside the parking lot
417. 12:22of a BIE. By the way, if you guys have
418. 12:24ever been to Bies, you'll know it's the
419. 12:26most like magical gas station you've
420. 12:27ever been to. It's huge. The first time
421. 12:29I pulled into one, I like looked to see
422. 12:31what um like pump number I was at. Um I
423. 12:34don't know why I was looking to see
424. 12:34that. I think I was paying card anyways,
425. 12:36but I like looked up to see what what
426. 12:37pump number I was at. I just saw it and
427. 12:38it was like 255 or something like that.
428. 12:41It was crazy. Um, and so like I usually
429. 12:45you go to Bies and you're like amazed by
430. 12:46how big it is. We pulled into this Bies
431. 12:48and I don't know if it was just like the
432. 12:49first BIES or like the the
433. 12:52one of the BIES, but we pulled in there
434. 12:54and it was like a normal gas station.
435. 12:55Like it was on the small side of gas
436. 12:57stations. It sucked. I felt so bad. I
437. 12:59had like some friends from Canada and
438. 13:00Justine in the car who's also from
439. 13:02Canada. So they had never seen like a a
440. 13:04BIES before. We pulled in there and
441. 13:06they're like, "Oh, oh, this is the gas
442. 13:08station. It cool. That's my scene
443. 13:11impression by the way. It's very very
444. 13:12good. But um yeah, it was it was just um
445. 13:16it was super super let downy. Um I got
446. 13:19super sidetracked telling that story
447. 13:21though. What um we're on brand right
448. 13:22now. Yeah, that deck that guy sucks. I'm
449. 13:24just going to move on. Okay. Uh Rolad
450. 13:26Rolad is not great either. Um I'll be
451. 13:29honest, I I updated the the Rolad sheet
452. 13:31and I I wrote a whole page just saying
453. 13:33like, "Hey guys, it was an honor playing
454. 13:34Rolad with you. The deck sucks." It it
455. 13:37just does. there there's not a way that
456. 13:39you can force Rol ad to function on its
457. 13:40own and they they cut off every single
458. 13:42like good bridging engine for it. I
459. 13:44think like 30% of the um the ban list
460. 13:47was just around like engines that
461. 13:48bridged which is like it's fair those
462. 13:50things probably needed to be eliminated.
463. 13:52Um but they left Rolad with like almost
464. 13:55no no backbone to it. Um I mean even
465. 13:58like the Albaz build this deck you lost
466. 14:00access to Fallen the Virtuous on all of
467. 14:01your end boards. you lost access to like
468. 14:03the um the excess like consistency
469. 14:06engine that just like keeps you alive.
470. 14:08Um and you you lost lost access to like
471. 14:11a lot of different bridges for this.
472. 14:12Now, Angeli um Rolet is probably like
473. 14:15one of the only builds that I say is
474. 14:17potentially alive. Um but it's man, it's
475. 14:21just you lost so many starters still.
476. 14:22Like losing access to Griffo is like the
477. 14:24worst thing ever. Um it's it's what gets
478. 14:26your engine actually rolling to be so
479. 14:28good at going second. and the fact that
480. 14:29you have a 33% chance to like put this
481. 14:31card on the field and like if it sticks
482. 14:33like you not only had a push but you had
483. 14:35like two unstoppable pushes that work
484. 14:36together. Um but like losing two two
485. 14:39copies of these is just just so so
486. 14:41unplayably rough. It's like the bottom
487. 14:43of like okay tier. It's worse than like
488. 14:44pure branded I think honestly.
489. 14:47Um then we have Lunalite. Lunalite is in
490. 14:49the retire tier. We've gotten to the
491. 14:50time where people are going to play
492. 14:51Bandit in just about every single deck.
493. 14:53Bandit will be in every deck that can
494. 14:54play it. um or if like decks like Angeli
495. 14:56that can't really play Bandit, they're
496. 14:58going to play things like Lava Golem. If
497. 14:59they do decide to play board Breakers,
498. 15:01it's just going to be super funky for
499. 15:03you to take Lunaite into an event for
500. 15:05anytime in the near future. Uh then we
501. 15:07have Malice. Malice, I think, is
502. 15:08actually a very solid deck for this next
503. 15:09format. It'd be Malice Ars Magna, which
504. 15:12I'll make a video probably sometime this
505. 15:13next week here, um where I'll just talk
506. 15:14about the deck, show off the combos for
507. 15:16this. I think this deck is super super
508. 15:17slept on and the fact that it makes like
509. 15:20almost an unbeatable board through hand
510. 15:22traps very efficiently. Um, and it it it
511. 15:25breaks boards like incredibly well cuz
512. 15:27you just get to utilize basically like
513. 15:28three kill buttons. Your extra deck can
514. 15:30have like mediocus in there, cryptor,
515. 15:32and access code. And that's like
516. 15:33literally just three extra deck monsters
517. 15:35that just say kill them. Like you you
518. 15:36could play through two Nibiru to put a
519. 15:37lethal in this deck, which is
520. 15:38phenomenal.
521. 15:40Um,
522. 15:42but it does have its problems with the
523. 15:45fact that unless you start with a Malice
524. 15:48name directly, it's a little bit funky
525. 15:49if you have to bridge directly from the
526. 15:50arsenal stuff into like multiple hand
527. 15:52traps. but you can usually get there.
528. 15:54And this deck does get to play like
529. 15:55quite a bit of non- engine. It just it
530. 15:57loses access to things like Impulse
531. 15:58because you're choosing to play the Arch
532. 15:59Magnus stuff. So, just just be aware of
533. 16:00that when you're you're building your
534. 16:01deck. Um and then we have the Radiant
535. 16:05Typhoon um deck. I think that this is
536. 16:07like an okay deck as well. It's like a a
537. 16:09faster version of Blitzclick in my
538. 16:11opinion. Um but it's not as good at um
539. 16:14like the hand trap approach. So, it's
540. 16:16inboard is quite a bit weaker, but it
541. 16:18counters Angelic Key to like a crazy
542. 16:20degree. I mean, if you activate opening
543. 16:21to E fart and they MST your guy, you're
544. 16:23feel you feel so terrible just like the
545. 16:25entire time you're just like a miserable
546. 16:27miserable person to play against for the
547. 16:28rest of the game because of that. Um,
548. 16:31but because of that matchup, I'd say
549. 16:32this deck could be playable. It's just
550. 16:33going to have kind of a rough time going
551. 16:35into things like the arm mage and the
552. 16:36fairy tale board. Um, Sky Striker. Sky
553. 16:39Striker is a good deck as well. I'd say
554. 16:41that it probably falls somewhere around
555. 16:43here. Um, this deck didn't get like
556. 16:45fully neutered. They put engage down to
557. 16:47two. Uh we lowered down FNV to basically
558. 16:50band tier. Um but Sky Sky sky strike is
559. 16:53still solid. This can also play the um
560. 16:56the vision engine with MST in it. And so
561. 16:58you have like a a decent setup into E4
562. 17:00as well, which is pretty cool. Um and
563. 17:02this is one of the decks that gets to
564. 17:03utilize like every boke broken board
565. 17:05breaker. Like hace trunade into boards
566. 17:07is phenomenal. Like there's just there's
567. 17:09nothing that that matches that deck's
568. 17:11like ability. This is obviously another
569. 17:13deck that can utilize the magical spring
570. 17:15card really strong. Um, and so you can
571. 17:17do quite a bit of things while like
572. 17:19going into boards with this deck. Um,
573. 17:21the only thing that I would say to be
574. 17:23careful of when choosing to play this
575. 17:26deck is that people will be playing hace
576. 17:28tr in their deck and that card destroys
577. 17:30you. And so you you have to play like
578. 17:31some hand traps in your deck as well.
579. 17:34That way you can like fortify your board
580. 17:35with more interaction. You were already
581. 17:37having to do that before. It's just more
582. 17:39things of like like less floodgates.
583. 17:40You're you're probably not going to play
584. 17:41FUA in this deck anymore. You're just
585. 17:43going to play like good one for hand
586. 17:44traps and just like a lot of board
587. 17:45breakers. just try to shove your way
588. 17:46into boards. Um, and then we move on to
589. 17:49the pure power patron deck. This is
590. 17:51going to be like
591. 17:53a little bit funky because the inboard
592. 17:55for it's going to be very heavily
593. 17:57reliant on the um actually I probably
594. 18:00put this here. It's really heavily
595. 18:02reliant on the um the ars magna side of
596. 18:04things. And if the ars magna stuff
597. 18:05doesn't resolve, I feel like you just
598. 18:06get blown out. you have such a terrible
599. 18:10terrible time um like playing through
600. 18:13FUA as well with this deck compared to
601. 18:14other decks. Like the arm mage deck
602. 18:15plays through it so well because you not
603. 18:17only have the ars magna or sorry the the
604. 18:19arch mage engine to play through it
605. 18:20which we already know did it very well.
606. 18:22You also have the Arce Magna stuff to
607. 18:23play through it. And you can you can
608. 18:25actually manage to get through all of
609. 18:26the the the Charmies now with this deck,
610. 18:28the the Art Mage Ars Magna deck because
611. 18:31um like if they pllia you instead of
612. 18:34going through the um the Art Mage engine
613. 18:36more heavily, you'll lean onto the ars
614. 18:38magna and you lean onto the power patron
615. 18:39set of things a little bit more. If they
616. 18:41use FU on you, then you try to lean into
617. 18:43the art mage set of things a little bit
618. 18:44more. And the ars magna side, you give
619. 18:46them like one two draws at the most to
620. 18:47end on like a crazy powerful full board.
621. 18:50And then if they use Meows versus you,
622. 18:52like you just in on like a whole art
623. 18:53mage power patron board. You can still
624. 18:55even end with like the link too. Meows
625. 18:57is just like generally not that strong
626. 18:59of a card. I think that a lot of people
627. 19:00are like way overvaluing how good that
628. 19:02card is. Um but this is probably where I
629. 19:05would put everything in the format. The
630. 19:06power patron deck is just like the art
631. 19:07mage deck, just worse. And so that it it
632. 19:09it just is going to be lower on the tier
633. 19:11list in this. That's going to be pretty
634. 19:12much it for all of my thoughts involving
635. 19:14this next format here. If you guys had
636. 19:15any questions, please leave them in the
637. 19:16comment section down below. One more
638. 19:17time, if you were interested in learning
639. 19:19about the Angeli deck and how this deck
640. 19:21functions in this next format, you guys
641. 19:23are more than welcome to check out the
642. 19:24Angelic Grandmaster Class. You become a
643. 19:26chess master, a chess uh savant. I think

645. 19:30That sounds fancy. Um you can become um
646. 19:33proficient with the chess deck by using
647. 19:34that. It's one of the greatest products
648. 19:36that I have ever put out. Like it took
649. 19:38so many hours. I think it's nine hours
650. 19:39of content is what it says on there. And
651. 19:41that's just counting the videos that are
652. 19:42in each section. Not to mention, there's
653. 19:44like like so many other things that are
654. 19:46in that guide, as well as we're still
655. 19:47adding Genesis stuff to it. So, if you
656. 19:49guys are interested in playing Angelique
657. 19:50um for like Genesis or any upcoming
658. 19:52formats, um you guys are more than
659. 19:54welcome to. But, I appreciate you guys
