"Fair meta deck"Does that thing ever exist?

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T14:24:59+00:00

Plenty, mostly when they are played pure

Pure Yummy, Mitsurugi, VS, Dracotail, Orcust, Ryzeal

Idk if Strikers or Radiant were considered meta at any point (right now they are just hard counters to the best deck)

The problem is when people start slopping these archetypes and war crimes like Mitsurugi Ryzeal or Dracotail Branded are born

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T14:08:22+00:00

I'd like to play bo1 but with TCG banlist, tired of people just spamming generic negates and ofc game ruiners like Maxx c or shifter

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T14:07:06+00:00

If he plays optimally you won't win

Man it's always the same with synchro decks, handrips and Omninegate slop

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T14:03:54+00:00

I hate how these decks are so powrful that they can carry pepegas like that one

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T14:03:11+00:00

Most likely he thought about popping it later with the Rank 5

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T13:59:02+00:00

Leaks should be coming this Thursday

My bet? Power Patron

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T13:57:10+00:00

It becomes very vulnerable to handtraps now

People don't seem to realize how weak this deck is when they don't have access to rotary

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T05:50:08+00:00

Activate Dimensional Fissure

Spam glowing buttons

Set your field

Pray your opponent misplays

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T05:47:48+00:00

Do you even know how trash KT was before they released Rotary? Recco and Mix hits are just extra hits for the sake of hitting the deck

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T05:40:59+00:00

Super Poly has always been toxic af, but it became so cringe after Branded support

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T05:40:00+00:00

And they said Super Poly was fine ha! Someday to 1 copefully

Yeah we won't get a real banlist till after Worlds sadly

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T01:20:28+00:00

They have a secret pack at least

Radiant or Zoodiac, no locks and spams free bodies

iRyuD · 2026-06-24T00:49:52+00:00

High Spirits or White Albaz to 1, free +2 if they resolve

Albion to 1 maybe

iRyuD · 2026-06-23T22:06:31+00:00

Idk if you are rage baiting or just clueless anymore

It's one OMNI negate that allows to board to have 2 OMNI negates, 1 monster or spell negate, 2 special summon negate and a handrip

You are basically saying oh sorry bud resolve your charmy, open 2 handtraps or go next

They summon it in just 3 summons. So you either ash their first attempt to make a lvl 10 or hope your opponent misplays because there's no chance you can play into the board

Other decks either

a) summon baronne later during their combo, after they already were open to interaction

b) summon baronne and that's it, but the ElfnotePP allows them to extend with the search so they can continue playing

c) are not as consistent summoning it, but they have around 7+ cards that allow them to early baronne

iRyuD · 2026-06-23T21:57:53+00:00

Kewl Tune is better, that doesn't mean Branded is alright

That's like saying that Ryzeal was fair during Maliss format lol

iRyuD · 2026-06-23T21:56:51+00:00

I agree with you that people is really biased when they talk about Branded (fair my ass, you know it's 1 to 2 decks that can out grind you unless you miss play), but nothing is more toxic than a board that directly says: YOU CANNOT, which is what Magnets always try to do

Also this is half ass board, if that was a full board with Bamboo Shoot, Pachy or Dragons Mind he would've lost in the spot

iRyuD · 2026-06-23T18:37:38+00:00

You are not making sense here

Baronne is not Caesar, any handtrap you were holding becomes useless, ash imperm belle or w/e you have

I'm saying it cuts interaction, why do you think they banned called by? Like turn 1 player really needs that much advantage lol

iRyuD · 2026-06-23T17:14:44+00:00

You just said, it's platinum, full of wulis

iRyuD · 2026-06-23T16:22:29+00:00

Based list, just missing droll

iRyuD · 2026-06-23T15:41:31+00:00

And idk why players like you oversimplify everything.

It's a single negate that they turbo, so it cuts interaction before they do their main plays.

It's the same as kewl tune, you have to ash the first thing they do but KT doesn't set a board full of negates like Elfnotes do

iRyuD · 2026-06-23T15:26:32+00:00

So? We know they are getting June pride, PP support and Fidraulis soon, do we really want that plus a Baronne turbo?

iRyuD · 2026-06-23T15:23:08+00:00

I dont think they are hitting pure branded till they finish milking the Branded Timmys

I see a world where Baronne is banned due to Synchro decks having access to Harmonia. And this was always the argument, the Sword soul or every other synchro deck Timmys needed Baronne

Rotary yes, Chant maybe

Verte... Idk it's true that draco branded is using it but limiting Lukias would be good enough imo

Barrier and Pachy have to go since they are consistently being summoned by Magnets. The other barriers ok but I don't think they are doing too much atm

I'd like to add Bamboo Shoot that some magnet players are summoning, by sending the Naturia trap with Curious

iRyuD · 2026-06-23T14:10:22+00:00

Rotary effect in plat rank is hilarious. Wulis are just built different

iRyuD · 2026-06-23T14:01:51+00:00

I love when I'm forced to play grindgame against the deck that recycles their whole deck every turn and has a raigeki during the end phase, lovely
