Oligoden Pretty much the only new cards from the SD that advanced the strategy are Router and Tracer (and maybe Quadborrel in a pure deck). Silver is useful too, but I'd argue that another maindeck Rokket with the standard issue Rokket effect isn't what the deck needed.
love the link 1 and absorouter dragon. I would recommend the following: - Apprentice Witchling: Has synergy with Rokket Tracer and popping it while it's equipped to borreload savage lets you recycle REDMD from GY. cute play, yes, but has won me some games. - The dragunity link with Dragon Ravine and dark wurm engine. Dark wurm becomes your debug, though it isn't as versatile and lets you pendulum summon.
The potential still there for much more, with VRAINS with at least 30-40 more chapters to finish, Rokkets could get more support to polish the rest of their weaknesses.
THIS! I know lithium gets a lot of flag for mixing and using meta in other archetypes but this exactly what we want, the guardragons didnt takeover! The borrel links actually fired the rokkets, yea is not meta but is the best rokket can be using their gimmick
One of my favorite combos is to start by making Ib the World Chalice Justiciar. You can search World Legacy Guardragon, use it to summon back a monster, Link-2 with IB who will summon World Chalice Guardragon from the deck, and they because you have WCG and WLG you can start the Guardragon combo my making Elpy and moving it. At worst this combo gives you Borrel + 1 Rokket on the field, but you can easily extend and do more. Also, with Tracer being a tuner, it's relatively easy to make that synchro 5 Ib (although you can't do it if you used Tracer's effect before).
I'd suggest playing 1 dragon's mirror rather than rapid trigger, that way furious becomes more of a bls of sorts, you don't to worry about losing to much advantage and field presence to bring him out. Also I've been trying twin triangle dragon for extra swarming thanks to the new level seven and definitely play 1 rokket synchron now cause it turns foolish burial and dragon shrine into 1 card rank 8s which is definitely comentable.
I dont know about running 3 of the light dragon and the allure. I recommend the rokket draw spell due to being able to get that special summon in the end phase from the effect and then with the link 1 you can get that rokket you destroyed.
Hey Lithium, I have been asking around as of late to see if any yugi tubers are down to test Heraldic Beasts in 2019, they have a themed Rota, a themed monster reborn that summons 2. Grave recovery and 2 lvl 4 dragons with good/decent effs. You can effectively do the whole gaurdragon play with something like Engage+(The Foolish of ED monsters). Definitely not tier 1 but I think it would make for a great/fun video :)
He summons the tracer and the silver Rokket dragon off the sawnborrel dragons effect. (Sawnborrel pops a link monster on the field and summons Rokket monsters from the hand or graveyard equal to the link markers of the destroyed monster, which in this case was 2)
This is a conscious decision from Konami (and I think Vrains directors too, don't quote me on this) that they wanted to make the anime decks and duels more complex and meta. Before, anime decks received a lot of support, but non-anime decks from core sets with less support were making the money (six samurai, chaos, BA, Zodiac, Pendulum Magician). If you look at them within their respective eras (before newer support), Onomatopeia, Shark, Galaxy, Barian, Vertex, Predeplant, Lunalight, PK, and Raidraptor decks were casual decks and hardly made money in sales. But they were being given support across sets. Similar to Synchros, Links came out very strong within first year to make money (buying new support), sell the new mechanic, and support Master Rule 4. Thus Vrains decks were broken to begin with. From the anime perspective, Konami began appealing to more mature audiences in contrast to the characters of Zexal and Vrains (one factor being that the older duelists are buying expensive cards) and created more complex cards and duels to appeal to them. Konami wanted to make structure decks that actually mattered and would sell as well (problem found at local Walmart and Target), so they began making more meta-impactful decks (Tyranno, Darkness, Cyberse). So for your question, I imagine it is being able to sell new support that attracts BOTH casual and meta players, to increase sales, make the anime relevant, and make Yugioh a more complex game state.
Lol, please don’t title the video ROKKETS TOP TIER if you are going to say they are still lacking some cards to be top tier. We’ll watch the video regardless, I swear.
How good is this without red eyes ? Given how the ocg has it banned can this deck now stand up to the meta decks given their new nerfs but without red eyes?
I know, right? I almost never utilize any archetype engines (seriously, keep Dangers and Sky Strikers FAR away from me) and stick to pure decks with the right support. Those decks have gotten to the point where the engine is the actual deck and the rest of the cards are just there to help it.
Sure, without those in the extra deck you can run other extra deck cards, focus more on the fusion and drop wyburstar engine. Quardragons make the deck more agressive, so something to solve that is needed.
Have to be Normal summoned and need setup in GY, also the lv7 dragon can special summon itself, waste the potential of make combo with other card too much.And there is much better card do the same thing.
Honestly, you play to much Rokkets lol. I'd cut Silver, Magna and Metal to 1. The field spell too. The fusion is ok, but since it only fuses from the field, I wouldn't play it. A card you should consider playing is destrudo. It can special summon itself and is a Dark Dragon, so the snyergy is defiantely their. Maybe even Dangers for more consistency/extenders.
The field spell is necessary, it makes the deck works. And if you want to play chaos dragon you might as well play them since Destrudo has a much better use there lol
@@mikejones972 you don't need more than 1 field spell. It is only good if you play a lot of rokkets and you shouldn't do that since more rokkets are more potential bricks. Also by chaos dragons I mean collapserpent and wyverbuster as an 4 card engine.
Absolutely delicious.
God the Lv 7 and Link-1 are SO DAMN GOOD.
Finally this deck is playable on a decent level. Only took them 3/4 of VRAINS to do it!
It was already playable just power crept to all hell
It also took them an entire structure deck of mediocre support only for a promo to fix the deck.
And those shitbiscuits Guarddragons.
Oligoden Pretty much the only new cards from the SD that advanced the strategy are Router and Tracer (and maybe Quadborrel in a pure deck). Silver is useful too, but I'd argue that another maindeck Rokket with the standard issue Rokket effect isn't what the deck needed.
I’ve been playing rokkets since day one. All this new support makes me SO HAPPY😃😄😂
Sad that the best link monster is a promo, happy that the deck got a lot better, not Salamanbad->Salamangreatest better, but still way better.
Nice top deck Raigeki in the first duel.
Rokket looks legit af
ROKKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAINNNNN
All rokkets need are a “rokket” monster that floats into another one and when it’s destroyed it returns a monster from gy to hand🙌🏻
I was waiting all day for this one, gj Lithium!
And plz win the Yugituber GC ;)
Honestly that Rokket Tracer might be the best monster in their deck lol too crazy

Vic what would you say is their weakness out of curiosity
Try to use borrelguard and borrelfurios together, u will get a free pop, using the guardragon’s combo u can make 2 bordel link 4 and the 1 furios
finally a good use in the deck for borrelguard dragon besides being there just to look good ^^
It would be nice if the link 1 is released with the structure deck here in the US.
Bless your good soul I have been looking for this all day
LINK-1 IS A V-JUMP PROMO! Great job konami 👏 great job
Sunligth wolf v.2
@@Akumask at least sunlight was in sast. We don't know when we'll get this card.
@@Akumask It's more closer to Balelynx
It could be in the structure deck still.
YES YES YES. I’ve been waiting for this!
Absorouter dragon and the link 1 helps so much. The deck is very consistant.
too bad the link 1 is not from the structure deck :/
Lithium now best antagonist.
Really liked seeing these, Revolver is just awesome anyway.
Had to be sick at night to be in the firsts (greetings from France, keep the good job)

Can someone clear something up, how does he summon silverrokket at 1:30.
He summons the tracer and the silver Rokket dragon off the sawnborrel dragons effect. (Sawnborrel pops a link monster on the field and summons Rokket monsters from the hand or graveyard equal to the link markers of the destroyed monster, which in this case was 2)
What's up with all these broken character decks in Vrains?
I mean how else would they be anime level

Lol, please don’t title the video ROKKETS TOP TIER if you are going to say they are still lacking some cards to be top tier. We’ll watch the video regardless, I swear.
From what I saw in this video, the title should be GUARDRAGONS TOP TIER lol
How else will he maximize them clicks
@@EinTheEin by providing good content
@@fidibus4290 dafuk niggas ur talking about ? he has excellent content One of the best there on this field so shut up please
How good is this without red eyes ? Given how the ocg has it banned can this deck now stand up to the meta decks given their new nerfs but without red eyes?
When the struction deck coming out?
Even better though you can play them pure and actually do things now you don't need to use them as a guardragon engine like everyone thinks you do.
I know, right? I almost never utilize any archetype engines (seriously, keep Dangers and Sky Strikers FAR away from me) and stick to pure decks with the right support. Those decks have gotten to the point where the engine is the actual deck and the rest of the cards are just there to help it.
Classic 44 card main deck with upstart
there's some build to play this without the guardragons?
Sure, without those in the extra deck you can run other extra deck cards, focus more on the fusion and drop wyburstar engine. Quardragons make the deck more agressive, so something to solve that is needed.
Please try dragons mirror.
Me gusta el arquetipo, tiene pinta de ser competitivo.
Dont you think 3 allure over 1 upstart and 2 allures? Also what do you think about brotaur?
What about rokket recharger???
Why they are no guardragon ?
Fireshow21 don’t need it
We need geargia support damn where is it
Main deck raigeki in 2019?
Raigeki + Tracer is quite solid
Lithium2300 sounds like the 2019 version of Volcanic Scattershot + Reload
Why did he use Upstart Goblin in the deck with over 40 cards?
Bruno Calasans he explained it. You activate it and target it with tracer and you draw a card and summon a rokket
@@thomasfaraone4213 Ah, i got it... I just had asked it cause i watched it in muted mod
You say in almost every video " this deck is weak to hand traps " ,this might be a silly question but what deck isn't?
Orcust
sky striker
Use rapid trigger fusion to destroy Yazi as a fusion material then summon mare mare
Yazi will miss the timing.
I think it would only miss timing if Rapid Trigger destroyed for cost, but I think Rapid Trigger destroys as the effect itself
2 dark dragons hmhm
Still, you cannot call something top tier without it being legal and played in tournaments
FINALLY
Why play upstart in a 44 card deck?
Tracer pop
@@Lithium2300 ooooh ok i get it thanks man!
Splash orcust since all monsters are dark.
striker dragon will be a jump promo so we wont play it until 2021
Top tier my ass. This deck is still buns
Ive been testing with a saryu turbo negate version that has been working pretty good
Finally rokkets have a target fo their own to revive with the effect of rokket synchron and he isn't even in the deck lol
Have to be Normal summoned and need setup in GY, also the lv7 dragon can special summon itself, waste the potential of make combo with other card too much.And there is much better card do the same thing.
Sadly most of the new support is just pack filler. They crushed a lot of people's hopes.
About half of it is really good though. Who cares about Checksum Dragon while you have like Rokket Tracer?
Personally I dont like the wyverbuster combo
Paused the ad just to say I hope it’s actually rokkets this time and not the 689th guarddragon deck profile
Yet the best card in the deck is a V-jump promo....
Extra deck should be 20 cards, change my mind
Winter Cherries
@@ShuraEssays oh damn.... Didn't think of that 😅
Rokkets next ZOODIAC
No lol
Nothing can do against mine
Striker is good except for the fact....
..its a promo..
They are decent. Nothing to amazing. Defence is lacking.
You're playing 44 cards with upstart. Stop.
You dont know what Rokket Tracer does, don't you. Be more polite in the comment section 😊

LMAO at these dudes don't know what Click-bait is and take it so seriously. Do all you guys just watch videos on YT the first time? Relax, guys.

Thats a bad thing?
"now"... lol
we had many others before that were meta worthy.

Borreload + Tracer + Field spell and grave support pass is great if Guardragons wasn't an option =)

Ewwwww Guardragon Engine So Tired Of These Extra Decks! 💯
How about playing Starliege Dragon Seyfert (the level 4 dragon from CHIM)?
can search tracer and be used as material for striker dragon.
