    Played against new-age Orcust on online sims a few times and I can confirm it is very, very strong. Feels like they have infinite plays. Even if you chew through their board you gotta hope you kill em right then and there bc the followup is stupid. Its not busted, but def puts it on par with the current meta

    • @prodmoira

Now, if girsu get imperm/veiler, you can go into her, set a spell or trap, and still have a column for purple (worst case/going 1st). Plus, the new orcust mekk-knight link can be used for key, whispers, and secrets along with crescendo. Plus if babel is on the field while you have girsu in grave, you can special him from the grave or banished in a column a monster/spell/trap is in as a quick effect on opp turn.
      So you can have girsu negate a card, banish him with purple, get a search, then banished an orcust to ss the banished girsu to negate in a different column, or reborn on from grave. Before there was no way to ss girsu for negates with secrets unless you had the quick play..now you can just loop girsu for negates

      @@zekiel2533 Maliss already does that without ALIN support. Like having traps as part of your combo is kind of new, but in the end the deck's build-a-board strategy is extremely similar to how SE plays. Yes, the boards are weaker, but 1 Rabbit gets you to a LOT of stuff that are also layered. If you hand trap them, and they have a way to extend, they'll end on the same board with you hand-looping yourself once. Maliss is just another deck that lacks a true choke point like Duodrive or Branded Fusion.
      It is just what it is, but Josh definitely has standard issues when it comes to different one-card-combo decks.

      @prodmoira День тому +5

      That's just one combo shown with 1 card. In yugioh you start with 5 so any other extenders or non engine boosts that board considerably. Yugioh is in a state now where decks play a lot lower to the ground and aren't trying to make unbreakable boards with a million negates. So a low to the floor combo deck that can play a ton if non engine and is incredibly resilient in a grind game is perfect for a meta like this. No one's claiming it's broken or even the best deck but it's not nearly as bad as you're making it seem

    I appreciate ROTK and all they do, but I wish they went a little step further and either put the corresponding links to the deck or labeled the links below with a note to say what lists they show. As it is, I have to click every single link to find a specific list I want to check out, sometimes even scroll through a whole thread/forum.
    I get that the links are sorted by event rather than deck, and usually one link contains multiple lists that topped said event, but I feel like most viewers of the site are more interested in seeing a decklist than they are the specific placements, or at least prioritize it. That might just be me, though.

    I know people roll their eyes at DM support but honestly, a DM or GX deck should probably always have it's place in the meta for the health of the game. This is just how every card game works. Magic has Red Deck wins in like every format cuz like there are just players who want that. Popular characters are always getting new versions cuz people want to play them. Same with digimon, pokemon, vanguard, everything. You want these decks people just like to be playable, you want a bit of nostaliga to be there for you.
