Hey man, took this approach to Dragons to locals and it went really well. I have been playing the deck for quite a while but always as more of a combo pile. This approach made it feel fresh again and was very fun to pilot. Have you ever thought about playing more Rank 6 monsters? If so, which ones? Currently trying Wollow and Photon Strike Bounzer over IP and Apo
Been playing this deck since the release of bystials with really good success. Our lists are fairly similar but I couldn’t ever bring myself to cut Levi with how much it comes up
I hear that all the time, im actually doing some tweaking and testing here and there, maybe ill do a fieldstudies Episode with levi in Deck and see how it goes. In Theory the card is insane ofc
Very nice. I've been trying a slightly different version using lair of darkness and that has been working out pretty well. Gonna take my list to the London open see how it fares. I don't understand why you don't play levianeer. It's so good to search off magnamut and can end the game by itself.
The Problem with levi i have is that its impossible to make alive going first, so its just a brick then While its very clean to have post turn 1, i already have a search slot for that in chaos emperor, which can be very good going first. its just about consitency for me
Congrats on the result, I have a few questions: 1. Why no Triple Tactics Thrust (or talents)? 2. Why did you pick Chaos Emperor over Levianeer, or why did you not play it? 3. What's your reasoning behind one Saronir?
1. The deck doesnt have enough gas to push through boards, once more bystials are played talents take bystial and overlay into atum will be very strong again tho. This Deck tries to stop boards before they even get there instead of playing through them. 2. Levi is kinda hard to get alive, and once it is alive you sometimes cant play with the rest of your stuff, its almost always dead going first as well, because we struggle getting stuff in the gy for it, Chaos emperor while being equally dead going second, maybe slightly less, its way better once we got everything setup and and helps otking the opponent under 5 summons, alsot lets us play with basically 2-3 bystials every turn so keep grinding, so again it just fits the playstyle of control better. 3. Just Space issues/bystials not being the best handtraps anymore, if i could play more Bystials it would be more saronir for sure.
I love this deck profile, I’ve been trying to make a similar deck work with the small thunder dragon package, which can be very good when it goes off by handripping two and setting up a similar board, but I think the consistency issues might push me towards something similar to this with handtraps and more one card starters
I've been playing a similar list both at locals and on DB and I find a pretty big weakness against naturia runick as well as branded. If those two decks don't brick they have just too much gas
I always thought branded was hard but currently playing 12 Hts and 6 Bystial as handtraps makes the Matchup pretty easy, i was pretty suprised by that as well. Runic Naturia is a whole other Beast tho for sure, still trying to figure out how to play and mostly prepare for that deck the best
@@professorsunreis personally, I'm trying 3 epidemic virus and 3 droll & lock birds, both in the main because I'm just that crazy. and honestly, they work fine? droll is sleeper strong and almost every deck suffers epidemic. traptrix, kash, branded, runick. they all fall to a well timed tribute a 2500 atk dark. more testing is needed meh
I did test Nocto in the start when a thought i needed to go for Masq with Seal to stay competetive, but now i value the extra Slots for non engine more, as the ceiling is good enough. If Lancea picks up some steam id think about building a little different with 3 Noctos tho. Im missing my buddy as well, by far 1 of my favourite Dragons.
What are your thoughts on Kurikara/Kaijus in the side for the Ariseheart Control Kash decks? I find the idea of yeeting the Ariseheart (and maybe more) off the board without using the Normal incredibly appealing.
I like Kaijus and im testing with those here and there. The Problem about Kurikara is that we struggle to even activate anything under arisehearth, so it doesnt even use its mandatory effect against us :D
Awesome deck! I'd love to try it out instead of my dragon link! What are your outs to nibiru/evenly if you're going first? Also with so many hand traps do you struggle with bricking?
Against Nib we just summon the other 1 card starter of seal and just go back into seal, sometimes this even opens up the hand more and we end on seal and Masq. Against Evenly we use seal bounce Lub and leave branded beast on board, summon magna of seal and we are still left with 1 disruption on board, and like 7 cards in hand with no chance of being otkt. About the Handtraps, i have 9 1 card starters going first, Lubellion opening up very good 2 card combos with lots of stuff and Magna being a starter going second, so its fine. This deck plays alot on the opponents turn, so even 4 hts+ Magna can be fine to play with
I played something very similar but I don't use the Albaz package just replaced with talent and extra deck pretty much stays the same as last format for me Side deck I didn't side anti spell, I put in Gozen as majority of the decks this format loses to gozen and it basically doesn't affect us
Currently i think atleast 1 Albion is mandatory as Seyfert pitch lubellion is a super strong play with less bystials in the format tho even more defensive cards are also really nice, dont think talents would have been good for me this tournement tho, people are gravitating towards boardbreakers atm. I really like Gozen/Skill Drain as side card, but i wanted to protect by backrow against control matchups and against Kashtira Anti Spell is basically a turn ender aswell by nature of them playing like 25 Spells so i valued the versatility
@Professor Sunreis how's the match up against traptrix? I can't seem to match up against them in db and at my locals more and more traptrix seem to be popping up and I haven't played the match before and there's an OTS store tournament for invites to nationals this coming Saturday
With People going for ariseheart control over full combos i dont think you need the 2 Zeus, tho you 100% have the room for that if your regional meta calls for it. Space is tight but i 100% want more against Runic so im thinking about it
Next Video will be about that and extra tips and tricks for every matchup, just trying to get my voice back, will probably be up on monday so stay tuned
on 1 hand its a discard to make bystials alive, on the other hand its a discard and we dont like going minus one 100% an interresting choice im not quite sure about it.
I really love the Idea of the package, but i dont know if its worth it. Between bounces being only decent, the traps being really bad to draw as we lack power compared to Dlink and us already having a plan against Nib by just using the second normal summon engine and link1 to get into seal again, i dont see a reason for it atm.
Its Utility is nice for sure against Lab, which is an easy matchup to begin with tho Overall its Utility is something i never really missed so i just didnt include it to be more consitent. Overall its not as good in this as in Dlink as this deck doesnt have as many Darks/Lights in GY to play with, so we cant even get it alive going first
Love all your videos and how you explain things so well and in depth. And we need more die hard dragon player's 💪 we're a dying breed
We are still going strong just flying under the radar.
Next Retrain Structure Deck will be the Dragon one so maybe the we will be high meta again.
Putting us on the map 💪🏻👑
Hell Yeah Appreciate you buddy ❤
16 seconds into the video and I love the mood of the video. Subbed.
Crazy cool build, can you show us combos and how to play your deck with its current build
Nice video! well done
Bystial Control is back! waiting on your take
Hey man, took this approach to Dragons to locals and it went really well. I have been playing the deck for quite a while but always as more of a combo pile. This approach made it feel fresh again and was very fun to pilot.
Have you ever thought about playing more Rank 6 monsters? If so, which ones? Currently trying Wollow and Photon Strike Bounzer over IP and Apo
The Third Rank6 would be either Wollow or actually Jinzo-Layered as weird as it sounds.
Glad your having fun with the Deck.
@@professorsunreis Damn, that Jinzo is actually a really cool idea!

Woah, congrats dude!

levi is a brick most of the time for me so I replaced it with just chaos emperor (pendulum) and it's the best!!!

Congratulations professor!!!
Amazing job, really makes me think hard about my own control build and love ur techs.
No Nocto rationale?
I did test Nocto in the start when a thought i needed to go for Masq with Seal to stay competetive, but now i value the extra Slots for non engine more, as the ceiling is good enough.
If Lancea picks up some steam id think about building a little different with 3 Noctos tho.

@@professorsunreis thank you!!
I played something very similar but I don't use the Albaz package just replaced with talent and extra deck pretty much stays the same as last format for me
Side deck I didn't side anti spell, I put in Gozen as majority of the decks this format loses to gozen and it basically doesn't affect us
Currently i think atleast 1 Albion is mandatory as Seyfert pitch lubellion is a super strong play with less bystials in the format tho even more defensive cards are also really nice, dont think talents would have been good for me this tournement tho, people are gravitating towards boardbreakers atm.
I really like Gozen/Skill Drain as side card, but i wanted to protect by backrow against control matchups and against Kashtira Anti Spell is basically a turn ender aswell by nature of them playing like 25 Spells so i valued the versatility
@Professor Sunreis how's the match up against traptrix? I can't seem to match up against them in db and at my locals more and more traptrix seem to be popping up and I haven't played the match before and there's an OTS store tournament for invites to nationals this coming Saturday
@@Fahrenheit41 To be fair i have no idea :D
Thoughts about playing a second Zeus for Kash? Maybe Ghost Belles in side for Runick and Despia.
With People going for ariseheart control over full combos i dont think you need the 2 Zeus, tho you 100% have the room for that if your regional meta calls for it.
Space is tight but i 100% want more against Runic so im thinking about it
All about the 🙌🏽
can u explain siding pattern for some popular match-ups like branded, kashtira and maybe labrynth?
Next Video will be about that and extra tips and tricks for every matchup, just trying to get my voice back, will probably be up on monday so stay tuned
Is two lubellion mandatory? I have one but cant really afford the other aha
Do you have thoughts on playing one for one to special summon black metal dragon?
on 1 hand its a discard to make bystials alive, on the other hand its a discard and we dont like going minus one
100% an interresting choice im not quite sure about it.
If there is 1 thing i learned from this. Dont use thunder dragons
Would you consider a small dragon maid package ?
I really love the Idea of the package, but i dont know if its worth it.
Between bounces being only decent, the traps being really bad to draw as we lack power compared to Dlink and us already having a plan against Nib by just using the second normal summon engine and link1 to get into seal again, i dont see a reason for it atm.
Why no leevianer ?
Its Utility is nice for sure against Lab, which is an easy matchup to begin with tho
Overall its Utility is something i never really missed so i just didnt include it to be more consitent.
Overall its not as good in this as in Dlink as this deck doesnt have as many Darks/Lights in GY to play with, so we cant even get it alive going first
