1. 0:01What's good YouTube and welcome back to
2. 0:02the channel. Today we are going to be
3. 0:04doing a postbless tier list. These are
4. 0:08the decks that I think are going to be
5. 0:10the best going into this little sub
6. 0:12format right before Magnificent Maestros
7. 0:15and the release of Tunes in November.
8. 0:17These are the decks that I think are
9. 0:19going to be the best. And I'm going to
10. 0:22give a very brief description of why I
11. 0:24think these decks are good or bad in any
12. 0:26given format and kind of like a
13. 0:29postbless analysis on how the ban list
14. 0:32affected these decks and whether or not
15. 0:33I think they're going to be good moving
16. 0:35forward. So, first things first,
17. 0:37starting with branded Rolad. Um, I think
18. 0:40that branded Rolad going into the next
19. 0:42format is going to be a top 32 to top 64
20. 0:45deck. I still think that people are
21. 0:47going to play it. It does have a fairly
22. 0:49good angelic matchup. Part of the reason
23. 0:51why I had a good angelic match up was
24. 0:53because of Griefo. Now that grief is at
25. 0:55one, you're going to be opening Griefo
26. 0:57way less often than before. But I still
27. 1:00think that the deck has the tools in
28. 1:02order to counter Angelic pretty well.
29. 1:05And for those reasons, I do think that
30. 1:07people will continue to play it. I also
31. 1:08think that the deck is honestly just a
32. 1:10fan favorite deck and people really like
33. 1:13um branded Roland. I know that the
34. 1:15branded engine has been hurt, especially
35. 1:18without Albon, and I think that maybe
36. 1:20calling it branded Rolad is the wrong
37. 1:23way because I don't know if people will
38. 1:25play it with the branded engine, but I
39. 1:28do think that Rolad in general is um
40. 1:31really really strong and people will
41. 1:33continue to play it. The next deck is
42. 1:35Fairy Tale, Indemian, Spellcaster, Slop,
43. 1:39whatever you want to call it. I think
44. 1:41that this deck is a top 32 to top 64
45. 1:44deck. I know some people will say
46. 1:45otherwise and put this deck a lot higher
47. 1:47on their tier list. I honestly don't see
48. 1:49it. I think that this deck is very
49. 1:51strong going first and is a FTK deck,
50. 1:54but every deck pretty much that we're
51. 1:55going to be talking about is very strong
52. 1:57and FTK is going first. I think this
53. 1:58deck is terrible going second. I think
54. 2:00this deck has no unique non-engine that
55. 2:03it can play that gives it an advantage
56. 2:04over any other combo slop deck that's
57. 2:07trying to play hand traps. And yeah, I
58. 2:09don't think that this deck's angelic
59. 2:11matchup is that great, which I think is
60. 2:12going to be a big thing going into the
61. 2:14next format for why I think a deck is
62. 2:16good or bad. I do think that as opposed
63. 2:18to the role variants, it still has
64. 2:20consistency. It's pretty much gone unhit
65. 2:22on the ban list other than losing
66. 2:23Charmer Quartet, which does hurt this
67. 2:25deck. Um, this deck was one of the best
68. 2:28decks that used Charmer Cortet. And now
69. 2:30that Charmer Cortet is banned, that is a
70. 2:32small hit to this deck. However, I do
71. 2:34think that this deck will continue to
72. 2:36see more play cuz it isn't really seeing
73. 2:38too much play right now, but I think
74. 2:39it'll see more play in the future. The
75. 2:42next deck is D Heroes, and I'll put D
76. 2:45her Heroes in day two. Um, I think that
77. 2:47this deck is not that good, but and a
78. 2:51lot of their combos loosen Nibiru, but
79. 2:53at the beginning of this next format, I
80. 2:54think less people are going to be main
81. 2:56decking Nibiru just out of fear of
82. 2:57Angeliki. Like, that card is terrible
83. 2:59against Angeli. And I expect Alangeliki
84. 3:01to be the most represented deck going
85. 3:03into the next format. It already seemed
86. 3:05like it was one of the most represented
87. 3:07decks pre-band list having three out of
88. 3:10the eight slots in top eight tied with
89. 3:12Elf Note, which is an an extremely
90. 3:15impressive feat for its debut um
91. 3:18tournament pretty much at full power as
92. 3:20a pure Angelic deck. So I think that
93. 3:22going forward now that Elfno has been
94. 3:24hit a bit, people are going to be
95. 3:26looking at Angelic. We've already seen
96. 3:28um cards from Angelici like almost
97. 3:30double triple in price. Cards like um
98. 3:33strategy game are almost like $50 for an
99. 3:35ultra rare which is really really crazy.
100. 3:38Um so yeah, people are really hyped for
101. 3:40Angelici. Pretty much going unhit on the
102. 3:42last ban list. Next is my baby Art Mage.
103. 3:47I think that Art Mage is one of the best
104. 3:49decks of the format. Like I said last
105. 3:51format, I thought that Art Mage was the
106. 3:53best deck of the format, but it alpha
107. 3:54matchup was so abysmal. I thought that
108. 3:56it was holding it back. I still think
109. 3:58that's true. I think Art Mage's success
110. 4:00is purely going to be based on how many
111. 4:02people play Elf Note. If a lot of people
112. 4:04don't play Elf Note and move to other
113. 4:06decks, then I think Art Mage is going to
114. 4:07thrive in this format. However, if
115. 4:10people try to salvage their investments
116. 4:13into the art uh Elf Note deck and try to
117. 4:16uh play the deck in different ways, then
118. 4:18I think that Art Mage will suffer a bit.
119. 4:20However, I think overall Art Mage's
120. 4:22position is just way better than it was
121. 4:23last format. Uh, speaking of Elfnote, I
122. 4:26still think that Elfnote is a um
123. 4:28tournament winning deck. I do think that
124. 4:30it is a lot worse without Tinia. I think
125. 4:33losing Tinia, you lose a bit of
126. 4:35consistency. It makes your lines a
127. 4:37little bit more awkward. It also makes
128. 4:39your June pride like turn zero worse.
129. 4:41Like resolving Regina turn zero feels a
130. 4:43lot worse with Alinia. just having like
131. 4:45a spell trap bounce plus a monster
132. 4:47bounce plus some engine recursion while
133. 4:50it's still extremely powerful like that
134. 4:52banish from the hand like in order to
135. 4:54like widow your opponent's resources was
136. 4:56a big deal also like having Tenia hand
137. 4:58rip on like a half board was really
138. 5:00really powerful um and you kind of just
139. 5:02lose access to home um welcome home
140. 5:05completely unless you use your um uh elf
141. 5:08no power patron to specifically search
142. 5:10the card out and I've seen some lists
143. 5:11going as far as to even cut homecoming
144. 5:13because tiny is banned which I don't
145. 5:15necessarily disagree with, but I need to
146. 5:17do my own research on the Elfno deck to
147. 5:19see if it's still worth playing
148. 5:20homecoming without Tenia, but some
149. 5:23people have decided not to.
150. 5:25The next deck is Doomsy. I'm going to
151. 5:27put Doomsy in day two. I'm going to put
152. 5:31it against um above Destiny Heroes. I
153. 5:33think it's a better deck than Destiny
154. 5:34Heroes, but I I do think we've all come
155. 5:37to understand it is the worst of the
156. 5:39media lore decks. It gets to take the
157. 5:41least amount of advantage from the power
158. 5:43patron cards and Arsmagna cards and its
159. 5:46ceiling is way lower than the rest of
160. 5:48the the other two decks being Art Mage
161. 5:51and Elf Notnote. I think his ceiling in
162. 5:52comparison is way too low and it suffers
163. 5:55a lot from that. So yeah, I think that
164. 5:58uh Doomsy is a day dude day two deck.
165. 6:00The next deck is Pure Power Patron. I'm
166. 6:03going to put this deck in top 16. I
167. 6:06don't want to put it in the top eight
168. 6:07area because I don't know what this deck
169. 6:09wants to do now. Like it lost Charmer
170. 6:11Quartet. It lost Verudras. It lost Zena,
171. 6:14which a lot of his combos were using
172. 6:15Zenna in order to do um goofy things. I
173. 6:18know that you can play Mercurium the
174. 6:20Quicksilver because God knows why that
175. 6:21card is not banned after banning 34
176. 6:23cards. But anyways, um so you can still
177. 6:26do some interesting things and try to do
178. 6:28some FTK combos. But I think that this
179. 6:30deck is really weakened to Fua. I think
180. 6:31Droll going to one was really good for
181. 6:33this deck. So that's why I think this
182. 6:34deck is a little bit better than it was
183. 6:35before. But this deck still loses to
184. 6:37FUA, and I still think this deck is
185. 6:39pretty poor going second. I don't think
186. 6:40the fact that this deck can play dominus
187. 6:42cards is enough to make this deck a good
188. 6:44deck going second. Um yeah, the next
189. 6:47deck is, shout out to Enzo. Um Enzo
190. 6:52Click. I think Enzo Click in the TCG um
191. 6:55is probably a day two deck. I don't I
192. 6:58don't think it's that good. I know that
193. 7:00uh Sako thinks that it has a really good
194. 7:02angelic matchup and I think that
195. 7:04obviously it destroys cards. It has
196. 7:06access to pretty unique non-engine
197. 7:08cards. Um things like um Gordian slicer
198. 7:12which I think are like very powerful. Um
199. 7:14so it has some things going for it but I
200. 7:17think that his engine is just very
201. 7:18inconsistent and that has not changed.
202. 7:21Um nothing has changed to make the
203. 7:22engine more consistent and you drawing
204. 7:24your uh combinations better. So I for
205. 7:27those reason I think that it's capped at
206. 7:29a day two deck. The next deck is
207. 7:31branded. Shout out to my my lead mod. Um
208. 7:36I don't want to put this deck in like
209. 7:38and subscribe. To be honest, I don't
210. 7:40think I have a single deck that I would
211. 7:42put in like and subscribe.
212. 7:44I [sighs]
213. 7:46I think Branded might be the closest
214. 7:49that I put to like and subscribe other
215. 7:51than just D heroes. Like these honestly
216. 7:53could be here. Um I I don't I don't
217. 7:59think anyone is going to play Branded.
218. 8:00Like the deck already had a suspect
219. 8:03Angeli matchup with Albian, but now you
220. 8:06have no Albian in order to like properly
221. 8:08recur your FMVs in order to try to break
222. 8:10the board. And then this deck is
223. 8:12terrible going second against the combo
224. 8:13decks and FM like Albon like searching
225. 8:16an FMV during the end phase or like
226. 8:18getting your plays going during the end
227. 8:20phase was so powerful for this deck. and
228. 8:22losing two copies of high spirits, which
229. 8:24was your best starter and two copies of
230. 8:27opening. While yeah, it doesn't matter,
231. 8:28but having multiple openings matters
232. 8:31when your consistency is hurt and your
233. 8:32ceiling is hurt. You want to be able to
234. 8:34get to at least your plays more often.
235. 8:37So, opening probably would have been a
236. 8:38two to three of if they only hit high
237. 8:40spirits and Albian. But hitting opening
238. 8:42also is just like it's overkill. Like
239. 8:44the memes are all true. like they really
240. 8:46went super hard on Branded for no reason
241. 8:48realistically, but they did a good job
242. 8:50at removing it from the format. So, I
243. 8:52think that yeah, like Branded is rogue
244. 8:54at best. I I don't think that it's that
245. 8:56good.
246. 8:58The next deck is Sky Striker. I want to
247. 9:00put Sky Striker in the top 16 area.
248. 9:03Shout out to my boy Jason. He ended up
249. 9:05getting, I believe, top 32 or top 64
250. 9:08with Striker at um Houston, but he
251. 9:11started off day one 900. He literally
252. 9:13went 900 day one first after Swiss was
253. 9:15Sky Striker of all things. I think that
254. 9:18this deck has a really good angelic
255. 9:20matchup and if you have a good weekend
256. 9:22and you play against mostly Angelici,
257. 9:24you're actually going to go crazy.
258. 9:26So, I think that like Sky Striker having
259. 9:29a really good angelic matchup is going
260. 9:31to propel this deck um more than it
261. 9:35having like a good combo matchup because
262. 9:37I don't think that it has a very good
263. 9:38combo matchup. The next deck is Trains
264. 9:41or like Earth Machine, whatever you want
265. 9:42to call it. I think that um putting this
266. 9:46deck Gustaf Max to one really hurts this
267. 9:48deck. This deck was already not seeing
268. 9:50much play. Um I think that this deck can
269. 9:53go into like and subscribe. Like I I
270. 9:55don't think that this deck was a good is
271. 9:56a good deck. Uh I remember when um Sean
272. 10:00Pitman was saying that Earth Machines
273. 10:02was better than Art Mage. That just
274. 10:04showed me what he knows about Yu-Gi-Oh.
275. 10:06That was crazy. Earth Machine is
276. 10:08terrible. It's been terrible. It's a
277. 10:11YouTube combo deck that got hit on the
278. 10:13ban list because people were crying
279. 10:14because of a YouTube combo deck. Shout
280. 10:16out to DB Grinder. This deck sucks and
281. 10:19they just made it worse by hitting
282. 10:20Gustaf Max one. So yeah, I think that
283. 10:23this deck is not that good. The next
284. 10:26deck is Malice. I want to put Malice at
285. 10:29the top of top 16. I think that this
286. 10:31deck is actually really really strong
287. 10:33right now. Like very very strong right
288. 10:35now. Um, it's one of the best hand trap
289. 10:38decks and it's a really strong combo
290. 10:39deck. So, I think that this deck has a
291. 10:42lot going for it. It can play impulse.
292. 10:44Its engine is pretty intact and I think
293. 10:46it has a good angelic matchup um because
294. 10:49of the non-engine that it's able to play
295. 10:51and I think it's combo matchup is fairly
296. 10:53even. Like it can play a lot of
297. 10:55non-enine as opposed to some of the
298. 10:56other combo decks and has access to
299. 10:58impulse with no like drawbacks as
300. 11:00opposed to elf note. But um yeah, so I
301. 11:03think that Malice is actually in a
302. 11:05really cool spot and it's better than
303. 11:06it's been in the last four to five
304. 11:08months, I would say. Um
305. 11:11the next deck is Sacred Beast. Sacred
306. 11:14Beast is another deck that I want to put
307. 11:16in this top 16 area. I think that this
308. 11:19deck um doesn't get enough burn, at
309. 11:22least in America, and Europe is seeing a
310. 11:24lot more play and a lot of a lot more
311. 11:26better players are playing Sacred Beast.
312. 11:28And I think that this deck is good. For
313. 11:30sure good. Um, and I think it's very
314. 11:32much underexplored in the current
315. 11:34format. So, I would say that yeah, I
316. 11:37think that this deck is pretty good. Uh,
317. 11:39the next deck is Invoked.
318. 11:42I know a lot of people are hyping up
319. 11:43this deck right now. I personally don't
320. 11:46see it. I think that I'd probably put
321. 11:50Invoke similarly to like where I put
322. 11:53Sacred Beast. It's like a deck that I
323. 11:54think is a little bit underexplored. I
324. 11:56know. Shout out to my man Shannon. like
325. 11:58he one tricks the out of this deck
326. 11:59and he was doing pretty good day one at
327. 12:01Houston. I don't know what happens to
328. 12:02him day two, but um yeah, like invoked
329. 12:07it's not terrible. Like Aon is a crazy
330. 12:09card. Oceanis is a crazy card. Like the
331. 12:11deck has access to a lot of very
332. 12:12powerful cards. Super poly is extremely
333. 12:14good in this deck. So yeah, I I think
334. 12:17that it's all right. I will say that. Uh
335. 12:19the next deck is Radiant Typhoon.
336. 12:21Radiant Typhoon I would put in the top
337. 12:2432 area. I think that this deck has
338. 12:26gotten a little bit better. I think his
339. 12:27angelic matchup is really good. And if
340. 12:30you're trying to make a meta call and
341. 12:31you want to play something that you
342. 12:33think has a really good angelic matchup,
343. 12:36um you can play Radiant Typhoon and
344. 12:37probably have a really deep tournament
345. 12:39run. Um if you queue into a lot of
346. 12:41angelic, which I think that a lot of
347. 12:43people are playing Angeli. Um people
348. 12:45just like the deck and it's funny, I
349. 12:47guess. Like people like being um sickos
350. 12:49and burning their opponent to death or
351. 12:51stunning them out of the game with the
352. 12:53king. So So yeah. And then I think last
353. 12:57but not least is the deck that I think
354. 12:59at least at the beginning will be the
355. 13:01best deck of the format which is
356. 13:03Angelic. Um the deck just has a lot
357. 13:05going for it. Like going first your stun
358. 13:07deck, you set up your lock. If your
359. 13:09opponent does not have an out to your
360. 13:10lock, you auto win the game. Some decks
361. 13:13just cannot beat this deck's lock and
362. 13:15you will auto lose the game to the lock.
363. 13:17Um going second, you play the most
364. 13:19non-engine. Like I was talking with
365. 13:21Sako, he was saying he was main decking
366. 13:2224 hand traps and postside he was going
367. 13:25to 27. So most of his deck was hand
368. 13:29traps postside. Um also going for the
369. 13:31deck is siding cards like inspector
370. 13:33border which is an insane card just to
371. 13:35try to beat hand traps that you would
372. 13:37use against the deck. The best hand trap
373. 13:39hands down against the deck was Griffle
374. 13:40into spell shattering sword. Konami,
375. 13:43I don't know if it was a strategic hit,
376. 13:45but Konami decided to remove Spell
377. 13:47Shattering Sword Griffle combo from
378. 13:49every deck's arsenal except for decks
379. 13:52that are strictly rolet deck. So, um,
380. 13:54there the best hand trap against Angeli
381. 13:57got removed. So, that's also a big boost
382. 13:59to Angeli. That was like the one hand
383. 14:01trap that they really couldn't do much
384. 14:02about. So, yeah, like Angeli has a lot
385. 14:06going for it right now in the upcoming
386. 14:08format and it's for sure at least the
387. 14:10deck to beat. Um,
388. 14:13will it stay the best deck? I don't
