Playing on dueling nexus i went against a kashtira deck. Went second. Didn't open hand traps. Started my main phase with 0 useable monster zones and about 15 cards left in my main deck. The rest were banished facedown. So now I'm here to learn what they do.
I had the same experience. Went second, starter with no hand traps and when my turn got my turn, I was unable to play the game. Shangri-Ira reminds mi of Yata-lock. It requires you to have the answer right here, right now or you've lost. That's funny Konami's still making cards like this. I hope it would be banned soon.
My experience was even worse: since I play a 40 cards stall deck, once my opponent managed to summon Diablosis he could banish half my deck in a couple of turns with ease, and no other move I could do against without decking out. A very toxic card. It should be banned since it literally goes against the basic mechanics of the cardgame: it created another cardgame itself

Honestly, Konami might as well implement set rotation with how quickly they ban slightly-aged broken cards and add new broken cards for people to buy instead. It would make things a lot easier for them in the long run (or, at the current rate of power creep, they could start taking even more cards off the banlist without changing the game too much).

I started using Kashtira with Tearlaments after the banlist slaughtered tears , its pretty good , just have to be careful with Arise- heart on field so I dont banish my tears cards by mistake , and he makes a nice 4 mats Zeus sometimes
Tearlaments weren’t slaughtered lmao, they got nerfed and restricted but everyone is still playing them. If everyone is still playing then they clearly weren’t “slaughtered” enough.
Wow! That deck is definitely really good. No wonder why Konami killed Tearlaments to sell the Kashtira archetype and not to mention the last YCS was dominated by Kashtira.
Thank you duel logs, this video was very informative and super easy to understand when it comes to playing the engine, but i'd love if specific chokepoints or weaknesses were discussed. While I'm not planning to use the Kashtira Engine, I'm fully expectant to have to play against it but I don't really know when the best time to stop them is. I understand how and why Book of Eclipse is good against them but what about negating certain cards as they hit the field, or what about specific hate cards like Floodgate Trap Hole? (aka which summon is floodgate best used on) If anyone else can help with my dilemma against kashtira specifically i'd love to hear (im planning on playing Traptrix after the SD comes out btw)
Their starters in Fenrir and Unicorn can only be summoned if they control no monsters. So if you Floodgate the first monster they summon before it is able to activate its search effect there is a good chance they are stuck and have to pass. Even if they open Theosis they can't use it because their monster is face-down. So they need other cards like Riseheart or Birth + another Kashtira to accomplish anything. Also Ashing Theosis is a big chokepoint because if you do that they also need Birth + Fenrir in hand. You could also negate their Unicorn and hope they don't have Theosis or Birth + Fenrir in hand. So the best way to beat them is to get them stuck on 1 monster they can't clear (and dealing with Birth and/or the next monster they summon if they have the extender) and the easiest way to do that is to flip that monster down. In general Unicorn, Theosis and Fenrir are the most important cards to stop but you also have to keep Birth in mind because the chokepoints can vary on their hand. Here is a list of the cards that are used against Kashtira: - Book of Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse & Moon - Lava Golem, Sphere Mode, Kurikara & Nibiru - Ash Blossom - Evenly Matched - Contact C (when they activate Theosis) - Superpoly + Mud Dragon - Iblee and other methods to give them a monster they can't clear (Mushroom Man #2 xD) - Imperm - Thrusting - Tactics, Mind Control, Enemy Controller & Change of Heart (especially if you play 1 copy of Ariseheart in your extra to overlay) - Dimensional Barrier - Aqua Dolphin and Appointer of the Red Lotus - Lancea - Raigeki & Dark Hole
@@UmbraBirdNo problem, you are very welcome! And if you want to know more about the specifics of why any of the other listed cards are used, you're welcome to ask as well. I just didn't want to explain the reasons behind all these, otherwise the comment would have gotten even longer ^^
this is the first time i understand the topic before watching DuelLogs mainly due to getting my ass kicked by kashtira in edopro for 2 weeks straight back when tear 0 still exist. Yes, i play C tier decks, and now put 3 Nib
With Konami being on a massive bender of making archetypes cross with each other, I'm awaiting the day where archetypes become so incestuous that everything just turns into "King of Games" cards so that anything can be searched with anything and trigger off of anything being on the field.
One day they should have a yugioh format where you can play any deck to its fullest potential. By that I mean, using all of its in engine cards. Obviously non engine cards that can make decks broken would be banished. So then we can play Fully Powered Snake eyes vs Fully Powered Ishizu Tearlaments or Kashitra. These decks are toxic but also fun in the way that they're powerful. Would love to see who the true Tier 0 king is
I'm still trying to figure out this Speedroid deck that uses a Kashtira engine that I've been playing around with. The guy I watched build it only included 2 unicorns, a wraitsoth, and a birth and claimed they were very important to the deck's functionality. Not sure how that's true when it's not even a full engine.
I could've sworn you sounded familiar and now I finally know: You do DnD videos too right? You have a really nice and unique voice! Keep up the great content across multiple channels :)
I saw a vid where a guy in vegas blocked off his opponents entire spell and trap zones, and 4 monster zones turn 1 using two shangri iras, opening with prosperity. Was wild
As a runick player, it's fairly difficult to play. I play Runick Naturia cuz I prefer it over Spright. You have to be at your best when you want to actually use its power. I've seen Runick players destroying decks directly made to counter them and it just amazed me. It took me months to use a bit of it's power and it's already so good
With Tearlaments about to get decimated, is this thing going to become the next Tier 0. So many of those cards have ridiculous effects that could shut down the opponent entirely. Seems like Konami saw just how many strong archetypes they created for the Albaz lore and took it as a challenge to make even more absurdly broken ones for the next Visas Starfrost storyline.
@@georgbergsten6050 Sigh... I didn't intend to use the term "Tier 0" lightly. I was saying that because of how absurdly broken both archetypes were/are and how it seemed like Tearlaments was the only thing keeping Kashtira in check. However, after the more recent major tournament results, it's clear is no Tier 0 yet, just a very dominant Tier 1. Which mind you, is still not great. Hopefully it will receive some nerfs in the next ban list.

@@Thegameshadow1no. Any archetype that banishes your opponent’s cards face-down deprives them of resources and is severely unhealthy for the game. Arguably the most toxic archetype ever printed.
@@dominickangelo4319Right. I cannot believe what I originally replied to this was never posted or maybe it got removed. Here we go again: ANY archtype that stops your oppoenent from playing is bad for the game. Are we forgetting how Dryton when they still got Eva put up 5 negates and did not allow you to play? Regardless of the game mechanic used (banishing, negating, blocking zones, skipping draws, discard looping), denying your opponent the opportunity to even attempt to play is the problem, not the game mechanic. Discarding 4 cards before they got to play with the Link 4 (Topologic Gamblar dragon I think was called) was healthy? How about Turn 0 burns or FTK? Are tbose less aggregious than blocking your oppoents zones? Bollocks! All you have to do to find the issue is open the ban list. If you have no graveyard plays and Labyrinth loop discards your card after every Draw phase is any better than Yata Lock? It"s the same thing. The issue is never the mechanics, but rather abusing a mechanic and not allowing your opponent to do anything.
More like lancea, bigger problem is unicorn banishing on their turn 1, if you are the one who go first, I'm sure you can setup better field that doesn't rely on a continuous trap.
No. The cards are strong, but vulnerable to the exact same things combo decks in general lose to, aka any board breaker or a well placed handtrap into a hand with no extenders (the extenders not being great at actually extending is a bit of a weakness in the deck).
Okay, I heard stories about how horrible Kashtira can be, but holy crap. Thank god Arise-Heart got banned. I'm experimenting with a small Kash engine in my Gate Guardian deck right now, and I was thinking that using Birth to bring back a Kashtira Unicorn or Fenrir after banishing it for the cost of Sacred Sword of Seven Stars was sort of cheap. I'm no longer worried about that.
This archetype has the same problem as labyrinth. There's no real cost. No banishment after use or HP cost. Not exactly balanced. This is the "Cash"tiera alright. Konami is not even hiding it anymore.
Cards haven't really had costs like that as a general rule ever in yugioh. There are a few archetypes with costs like that, but those are usually gimmicks. LP costs in particular are kinda a joke and always have been.
@@mbrusyda9437Labrynth card economy is disgusting. None of the cards even have a one effect per turn clause so they can use both effects and go chain link 6 every turn past turn 3.
Tear explained. Get a card to the grave. Mill the next 5. Mill the next 5. Mill the next 5. Shuffle back a few. Mill the next 5. Summon a fusion or 2. Mill the next 5.
When is a deck ever fun to go *against* unless that deck's just terrible or your deck can simply run it over? Your opponent getting to do as little as possible is what Yugioh's always been about.
Remember the protection effect on Shangri-lra? No problem, just use enemy controller and put YOUR Arise-heart over it. And guess what deck has access to countless boardbreakers, monster-steal tools and needs only one of their monster zones? Sky Strikers.

Hopefully it will receive some nerfs in the next ban list.

Thanks for the content. Next pls do mikanko engine
Greatest Cards ever printed.
Scareclaw Kashtira with Kashtira Fenrir can also out Avramax and Empen
How does Fenrir out Avramax?
@@milesandrews6711 Scareclaw Kashtira and Fenrir. With Scareclaw on field during battle phase, Fenrir can attack Avramax and on declaration can target to banish Avramax face down because of Scareclaw effect
@@uctsuki7396 Avramax can't be targeted
@@milesandrews6711 Scareclaw Kashtira - " If your "Kashtira" or "Scareclaw" monster battles an opponent's monster, that opponent's monster's effects are negated until the end of this turn". So Kashtira Fenrir...declares an attack on Avramax with Scareclaw Kashtira on field...SINCE FENRIR IS BATTLING Avramax on attack declaration...Fenrir CAN target Avramax and banish it face down because Scareclaw Kashtira's negation doesn't target.
@@uctsuki7396 I didn't know you meant both on the field at the same time
I thought you meant individually they could put Avramax
Unhealthiest cards ever printed
Hands down
Oh no! (starts crafting the whole deck in master duel)
Hahaha. The only unhealthy cards were ariseheart and mind hacker.
@@Thegameshadow1no. Any archetype that banishes your opponent’s cards face-down deprives them of resources and is severely unhealthy for the game.
Arguably the most toxic archetype ever printed.
@@dominickangelo4319Right. I cannot believe what I originally replied to this was never posted or maybe it got removed. Here we go again:
ANY archtype that stops your oppoenent from playing is bad for the game. Are we forgetting how Dryton when they still got Eva put up 5 negates and did not allow you to play? Regardless of the game mechanic used (banishing, negating, blocking zones, skipping draws, discard looping), denying your opponent the opportunity to even attempt to play is the problem, not the game mechanic. Discarding 4 cards before they got to play with the Link 4 (Topologic Gamblar dragon I think was called) was healthy? How about Turn 0 burns or FTK? Are tbose less aggregious than blocking your oppoents zones? Bollocks! All you have to do to find the issue is open the ban list.
If you have no graveyard plays and Labyrinth loop discards your card after every Draw phase is any better than Yata Lock? It"s the same thing.
The issue is never the mechanics, but rather abusing a mechanic and not allowing your opponent to do anything.
This is why I left Yu-Gi-Oh. Only keeping update by watching videos.
can't wait for the gold pride video when they get more cards this may
might want to add another idea for a next top 10
top 10 ygo cards that saw more competitive play outside of their archetype
Okay , so this maked me surrender in master duel , but how then i destroy the shangri Ira ? I attacked but i was affected ( i still learning) ...
wait. Mind Hacker sees play? I knew it’ll be a good pick someday
If I activate Kashtira big bang while the only XYZ I control is face down, can I still resolve Kashtira big bang and use its effect ?
So side decking imperial iron wall is pretty much a must now
More like lancea, bigger problem is unicorn banishing on their turn 1, if you are the one who go first, I'm sure you can setup better field that doesn't rely on a continuous trap.
Do you think this will be another tier 0 format?
No 😂
No. The cards are strong, but vulnerable to the exact same things combo decks in general lose to, aka any board breaker or a well placed handtrap into a hand with no extenders (the extenders not being great at actually extending is a bit of a weakness in the deck).
Omg! They made Red Eyes support?!!? Or is the Shangri-lra Ojama King 2.0?
Now that Ariswheart is banned you can still use the zone blocks against Link strategies
Are you the guy that does the skill capped voice? I swear to god your voice is so familiar..
I can’t wait for this to come to master duel
Thanks mr. Logs
Okay, I heard stories about how horrible Kashtira can be, but holy crap. Thank god Arise-Heart got banned.
I'm experimenting with a small Kash engine in my Gate Guardian deck right now, and I was thinking that using Birth to bring back a Kashtira Unicorn or Fenrir after banishing it for the cost of Sacred Sword of Seven Stars was sort of cheap. I'm no longer worried about that.
Why the heck do they keep printing broken field spells? Komoney learned nothing from Spyral Resort.
I bought a play set of Orge and Scareclaw because they were cheap. Since the engine is so expensive, I’m hoping I can use them for basic rank 7 plays
D/d/d deck?
Do one on branded or branded despia pls
Prepring for master dule
*Quietly waits for more monarch support*
Ah remember the old days when doing a simple Summon Skull was seen as amazing. We sure got the "step numbers" quite high.
Yes, that happens after 20 years.
@@nnnp634 could you imagine tournaments today where the boss monster can only be Blue-Eyes white dragon.
And people said the duel kingdom battles were ridiculous....so naive.
i wonder why kashtira ogre and preparation were not mention is my question those 2 are quite nice to use ngl
Rulkallos’ dumbass stuck in that container like
Very straight summary: Number 89 is to ban
This archetype has the same problem as labyrinth. There's no real cost. No banishment after use or HP cost. Not exactly balanced. This is the "Cash"tiera alright. Konami is not even hiding it anymore.
Cards haven't really had costs like that as a general rule ever in yugioh. There are a few archetypes with costs like that, but those are usually gimmicks. LP costs in particular are kinda a joke and always have been.
No cost, but there's restrictions to the deck, at least for Labrynth.
@@mbrusyda9437Labrynth card economy is disgusting.
None of the cards even have a one effect per turn clause so they can use both effects and go chain link 6 every turn past turn 3.
@@isidoreaerys8745 most competitive duels end before 3 turns
Pair with Diabolisis mind hacker, it going to be insane lmao
Please put a Tearlaments engine explained video.
Tear explained. Get a card to the grave. Mill the next 5. Mill the next 5. Mill the next 5. Shuffle back a few. Mill the next 5. Summon a fusion or 2. Mill the next 5.
Why would they think people would enjoy facing this?
That's the fun part, you don't 😔
When is a deck ever fun to go *against* unless that deck's just terrible or your deck can simply run it over? Your opponent getting to do as little as possible is what Yugioh's always been about.
So this is what Ojama's wanted to be...
They should make Fenrir limited or at least semi-limited. Way too strong once they get shangrila out lmao
Well unless skill drain is involved
Kashtira Is like the Fiendsmith but of master duel
They need to add a way to easily deal with having your cards banished face down
Just ban Kashtira.
Opponent: aw sweet that’s a nice kashtira combo *activates raigeki*
Remember the protection effect on Shangri-lra? No problem, just use enemy controller and put YOUR Arise-heart over it. And guess what deck has access to countless boardbreakers, monster-steal tools and needs only one of their monster zones? Sky Strikers.
i just got my kash deck finished and this helps alot

In a new strategy ogre 👹 is played as well to get the prep and help fight against imperm and stuff
I love this deck. But hate it because it’s vulnerable to everything
It’s not vulnerable to stalling
Nice voice 😀
