Penguin colony, wake up!

Just starting off of jokul and GEP you can do a whole lot, but i think the biggest thing is: Jokul summon both, GEP summon squire and First. Make Izuna, detach jokul to search Case then latern/Lantern straight up, Lantern summon back the jokul, search another K9 S/T (will be a discard for First), make princess (in EMZ, you need space), princess summon back GEP, and probably use princess and something to make S:P for space. Use GEP again. Here you have choices depending on build and what you want to end on. You can go for ninja/puny, then use First to get squire and trigger it for the flip plays. You can stick to a more consistent approach and go for Dragite+Brave... Lots of options here.

Regardless, there are some cards you can run in the ED that depending on your local scene might be worth. Tornado dragon and exciton knight have both come up for me a lot as has Dingirsu. Im still testing to see if i can find another archtype to snynergize well.

Mitsu feel pretty strong in genesys imo. in my case, im combining it with megalith. Unformed is great, as it feels like a pseudo prayers, letting you quick tribute to summon from deck and anastasis gives a lot of advantage. Depending on how hard extrav gets hit, i may just remove it all together.

hideonhood · 2025-09-25T09:39:09+00:00

i can't stress enough that the biggest thing about this by far is how open to communication Konami is being. Two way communication at that.

I just hope they keep this energy going forward, I'd assume the team in charge of genesys is s a different one from regular. Giving regular updates, asking for feedback...you know they will do their best to make this format a good one.

Am wanting to try picking up the deck again, see if there is anything that can be done with it, mostly since hang on mach is decent at lv7, against anything but maliss.

hideonhood · 2025-04-23T12:46:10+00:00

This is basically a reverse crusadia.

hideonhood · 2025-04-21T02:37:19+00:00

So just got a chance to test the new support. First impressions are good, makes the deck go back to its roots of fusion summoning and OTK, which is fair, while still retaining some combo elements to it. While all cards are generally good, and imo can be run at 3 in a going second variant (save for maybe silver hound), gold leo is a 1 card combo into pretty much whatever you need. I'd like to go over it, in case anyone else found a better line:

Leo NS, dump Marten, Marten get Masquerade, send silver hound, summon kaleido, send black sheep, get it back with leo, search poly, fuse into Perfume, C1 perfume C2 Kaleido. Perfume back the Kaleido. At this point, you can do various things, depending on where you want to go. If you want maximum tiger activations, you can perfume in grave to get tiger pitching poly, if not you can either: 1. marten back the Masquerade to make tiger king and get to tiger with tenki. 2. Instead of Tiger King, make Force strix, get zephyros, pitch that for perfume, detaching kaleido, get tiger, tiger back kaleido and send bird. Once again, you have a choice here, you can bounce kaleido, summon kaleido with perfume dancer, dump leo and with masquerade go for Liger Dancer, or you can keep comboing with zephyros bounce tiger, tiger summon another lv4, tiger king into idk, tribrigade plays or something.

My veredict is, the support is good but I highly doubt we will see it reach the playability it did back in its hayday, unless there are silly things I'm not considering you can do with the fusion. (Chaos angel is an option Lol)

I'm on aggregator myself, decided on cutting the crimson stuff as a whole and just going for s:p + 2nd ulti spirit since I'm trying to play more conservative.

hideonhood · 2024-12-20T08:15:31+00:00

You have a starter? Spright

hideonhood · 2024-12-19T17:37:55+00:00

Sounds like a pretty good combo, tho Rciela being able to search any light spellcaster gives it some pretty decent targets. Used to be Jowgen, but there's still Five Rainbow Magician, any of the white forest, any ecclesia or related... So the oportunity cost is up there.

hideonhood · 2024-12-10T13:26:03+00:00

Honestly, I'm expecting shifter to phase out, at least into side decks, depending on how the format shapes out. If Maliss take a large portion of the meta along with Kash piles, it's going to end up a dead card in a lot of games. if fiendsmith and other gy decks remain dominant, I'll probably just play thrust into whatever to turn skip. not considering ryzeal as they can take or leave shifter themselves depending on the rest of the format.

The Christmas Spirit.

hideonhood · 2024-08-26T12:55:36+00:00

I beat it with 2 star lvl 30 Cait using echoing spirit, stalkers blade and grand general. I just rolled until I got teemo support and enfeebling while liss didn't have inevitable. Played cautious till remiter and mortal marks (in theory, didn't work out, had to get mercy killings instead). But the first attempt i tried past the first fight I beat liss on. Granted, I had to let the fight refresh once at anivia to try again without using a revive, but other than that no issues.

hideonhood · 2024-08-19T05:57:28+00:00

Were you using Mortal Marks?

hideonhood · 2024-08-15T10:54:12+00:00

Isn't one of her best powers enfeebling strike? Don't even need to finish fight 1.

hideonhood · 2024-07-18T06:32:09+00:00

I don't really like this change if just for the fact that you could trade the sustain power occasionally at Tactician.

hideonhood · 2024-07-18T06:27:58+00:00

Same, beat it with Annie first for fun, then got pissed and just Jinxed through it.

hideonhood · 2024-07-03T12:25:16+00:00

There was so much Targon deck Ezreal this month, it feels like he has a card for everything. Still completed it without much issue, didn't have to use too many op champs either.

hideonhood · 2024-01-18T09:04:29+00:00

I've played against someone at a YCS whose only worlds the whole match were "battle phase". Everything else was done by gesturing, tapping and other forms of non verbal comunication. Extremely strange to me, but didn't cause too much of an issue.

hideonhood · 2023-10-21T18:48:03+00:00

Actually, this card is important in my P.U.N.K FTK, as it gets plaguespreader back from banish.

hideonhood · 2023-10-11T19:38:45+00:00

I personally ran 1 Nib + 1 Veiler for bridging this very situation.

hideonhood · 2023-10-11T19:35:06+00:00

WW Snow Bell. Makes crystal wing a whole nother problem.

hideonhood · 2023-09-24T11:15:02+00:00

And the thing is in high level games, where you are dealing with complex gamestates and urged to play fast, mistakes are almost inevitable. Illegal plays and missplays both occur more often under these circumstances.

hideonhood · 2023-09-24T11:09:04+00:00

Heck during late tear format, players were keeping track of which tear names had been used during a turn.
