Congrats! Good day for Chimera players!
Thank you! Congrats on your 2nd place!
Thanks Galzo
Congrats to both of you! Impressive piloting 💯
I have a similar deck I'm trying to sell. I know it goes for $300 or. Close to that.
I was to sale my decks for 50% off do you guys anyone interested?? Thanks
Proud of you man! I saw you have potential based on your tutorials that helped me.
Glad I could help!
Congrats on the win man, that's awesome!
My man rocking the sand tee from his uniform for the profile ya love to see it! Good job brother!
You make a very good point with fatigue. I went to my first regionals a while ago and that was something I wish I took into account into deciding what deck to bring.
Congratulations!
Best branded chimera build I’ve seen so far. Everyone whose trying to build a chimera deck should use your deck as a reference.
Appreciate that boss
Yeah I don't like patchwork. Granted it's more viable now drolls fizzling out but I feel like you would brick more with it
@@michaelstephens4992there are always better options than Patchwork
Congrats!! That’s awesome!!
Thank you!!
Congratulations
Congratulations on 1st place!! Truly enjoy your content!
Thanks so much!!
Awesome performance dude! Congratulations!
Big congrats! Keep up the great work
Thanks! Will do!
Ayy grats. I sadly wasn't able to be at the Pitt regional. I had work lol. I have all the stuff for this deck in the mail and can't wait to play it. It's so fun.
Next time!
Congrats bro!
Appreciate it
Very nice, I've seen you try and build your channel and its hard to argue with excellent results considering your channel is relatively small.
I am very fond of Crossout Designator. It has taken 2+ years to catch on in the TCG because there is no Maxx "C" here. If someone Ashed or Impermed your Berformet and you responded with Crossout, you probably won that game.
Like many I was playing Aluber's and Branded Openings when the deck just came out, the Pot of Prosperity makes a lot of sense. Would love to see what you can do with Scareclaw as of recent, but this is admittedly a significantly more powerful deck. Congrats of your results.
Edit: Such a well thought out Side Deck.. wow!
I appreciate it a lot, thanks!
Nice brotha keep it up , its been a while and i always watch your branded videos🎉
Appreciate it!
Main deck is almost exactly what I played in Vancouver. Good showing meng
Thanks man, appreciate it
Nice!
Spicy
Congrats on first place
Thanks!
I'm glad you won with chimera. But honestly, I'm that type of casual player who likes a little more personal touch with my decks.
Fenrir. Prosperity. Bystials. Not so personal to me. But good job.
I think the fusion deployment build is what I'd go with.
I feel that, and believe me i tried a whole bunch of fancy stuff, but nothing felt good enough to keep. Best i can do is Alpha in the side
You do the fusion-bros proud.
Congrats! I really like the thought process on a lot of the build. Been playing a really similar list for the past month and have had a ton of success at the local level + a PS5 tournament that I got third at. Couldn't make it out to this because of a wedding though sadly.
What were the cards you normally sent off of prosperity and did you feel like you ever missed anything that you sent off it? I've mulled the idea of putting it in, but I haven't had the chance to do proper testing with it.
Appreciate it! New video coming out tomorrow to answer this and other questions. Always ended up banishing 6 off prosp.
YO! I was the guy who traded some of the gold pride stuff to ya. Congrats on the W dude! I couldn't pull it off with Chimera but I'm glad someone did
Thanks man!
Good work as always 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
@@phantomsygo i have a show that I make every week... do you have any video on online gameplay like TCG or master duel? I would like to showcase your duel skills for everyone to see on my show...
All I really have is gameplay on my twitch account, if it's still up there. twitch link in the description
Ok thanks I will include you on the next episode on my channel as branded chimera champion 🏆👍
@@phantomsygo ok thanks you will be on my next episode anime show. Your the best 👍
Would you like some engine pieces with your staples deck sir? lmao great job man! I'm glad someone else tried the crossouts, it's been a life saver when I was seeing ash every game.
Forreal. Thanks man haha
I really like the rationale for the extra deck. I'm curious also how the Bystials felt for you in your matchups?
bystials were great when they were relevant but based on the matchups i saw yesterday they only came in for dragon link and tear. but they were great in those as can be expected
Congrats on the win! Question tho, what do you tend to banish off from prosperity? I haven't been playing it just because I always feel so unsure about what to banish and how many.
Almost always: zeus, linguriboh, magnum, 2nd lv6 chimera, titaniklad, alba lenatus/mjade
Personally I woulda ran a Veiler over 1 of the Nibirus just for a little more crossout coverage, as well as to potentially make Incandescent Albion which I'm experimenting with right now. The list definitely feels pretty solid otherwise, I don't run Talent just because it doesn't always feel like it helps enough, or if not handtrapped you basically are down a card instantly, but it definitely can be very good so I don't blame you for running it.
Out of curiosity, how did the Nibirus do for you? Since I didn't hear you talk about it that much tbh. And why did you choose to not run Super Poly?
Nibiru was excellent and kept me in several games. Nobody ever veilered me so I didn't miss it for crossout, plus book of eclipse dodges veilers/imperms for me anyway so I had some way to play around it.
great 🎉 I SEE NO DROLL! what do you think of Droll to use like a target to crossout? no body drolls you?? or like a handtrap going second?
I didnt think people would be playing droll in the main so I didnt bother maining one for crossout. Playing one in the side is up to you for the crossout target but that's up to you
Hi very good list, what you put instead the second magnamut?
prob another bystial, druis or baldrake
I never thought about Alpha :0
It's sneaky for sure
Nice decklist! Can i ask how albion helps you in the grave ? You set something with him?
Just searches BFusion for follow up
Any decent replacement for Prosp? Or take it out and put one card in place? Loving this list and looks fire! 🔥
im a big fan of branded openings and alubers if not playing pots
Congrats! 😊 Just a little question: how do you summon Zeus? i don't get it. Thank you!
Talents take an xyz, attack with it, and overlay zeus
curious what you're thoughts are on Thrust? I see all the top decks running it, and it could help this deck play through hand traps as well.
I dont own thrusts but If i did i'm not sure if i'd play them in this particular deck, i'd have to think about it. Like if you get ashed on swordnight going first, thrust can only set you an imperm. And if you get ashed going second, thrust wont be able to search you anything to push through since your main play is already stopped.
@@phantomsygo yea I’ve been testing Thrust, but it only felt good when I main decked a single dimensional barrier
imo Thrust is overrated, I have 2 but no deck I've ever played I've ever wanted to run Thrust, over just running the cards it could search, or easier ways to get to those cards than relying on the opponent.
Just curious did pot of prosperity ever conflict with guardian chimera going second? Nice list btw!
Luckily no, but if i opened combo and pot going second i would just hold the pot so i can use guardian chimera
Have you built the P.U.N.K Deck yet? Also.. I seen people online use Horus with Gold P.U.N.K
I really like your chimera gameplay but I noticed you didn't play against unchained. Were you ready for that match up? And if so how? I'm having a lot of trouble in the matchup. There deck tends to benefit from us.
Your reasoning behind no frightfur package? Since, drolls are not main deck currently?
Imo, frightfur doesnt really help you going first endboard nor is it great at breaking boards. You might get into guardian chimera more frequently but its not worth the risk of bricking from the package clogging your hand when you dont want it to
Congratulations on the win from two weeks ago lol.
I am currently a newer Yugioh player that has recently began going to locals with branded chimera. I really appreciate how in-depth you went about the reasons for choosing specific side cards. It really helped me get a better understanding of what should be included in a side deck, and the side decks importance.
I am currently trying to learn everything that I can in order to get better to be able to start taking some games off of the people I play against at my locals. I hope you don’t mind if i ask some questions because I would love to hear from a great yugioh player that is also playing the same deck as me.
When you do put in side cards, what cards do you usually take out? I am assuming it is dependent on the matchup, but are there any cards that you always will take out?
There are many different variations of branded chimera out currently and I am trying to find the one I like the best. Is there anything that you think this deck lacks, is bad at or is weak against that you specifically try to compensate for with your variation of non-engine card selections?
Do you think running light-hex and dragoon is a viable option? Or is dragoon not strong enough due to not being able to use the burn effect, and many decks having ways to out dragoon?
Do you think D.D crow would be a good addition to the side deck? Or are there cards already in the deck/side that can accomplish the same goal as crow?
A big thing I am currently messing up is understanding where to interrupt my opponents during their combo. I know i need to learn how to actually play the decks I go against in order to truly understand where to properly interrupt, but is there any sort of “universal effect” where if i see a variation of that effect I should immediately try to interrupt it?
I’m really sorry for all the questions and I really hope you don’t mind them.
Start by watching the side deck pattern video i put out shortly after this one. I think this version is the best because of how flexible it is with the nonengine. Side deck is flexible too. Learning where to interrupt just comes with practice against these decks, but usually any effects that summon another monster is a safe bet to negate
Congrats mate, you've inspired me to get a playset of prosperity's for that I thank you, my bank account does not 😂
haha it's worth it! best card in game possibly. or wait till november reprints
@@phantomsygo ahh sure its overdue to complete the playset, had 1 as a thrust and crossout target but want to drop the aluber + opening package so 3 prosp will do ha plus I need them in time for dortmund 💪
You should give chimera plunder a try its actually really good. Id play it yhis weekend at locals but im missing the 3 of each super rare main deck monsters for chimera
i'll have to look up a list as a starting point, i couldnt come up with anything worth playing
I’m assuming this is after the new banlist with chaos space to 1 and such no ariseheart
No, banlist was not live yet
i went x2 due to some UNFORTUNATE hands lmao it was a fun event though. Congrats!
bummer, what deck were you on? Hopefully we meet next time!
Have you tried playing Chimera with Plunder Patrol?
I've tried to theorycraft something but nothing successful unfortunately. maybe i'll give it another try soon
I just want chimera to be its own deck as soon as possible.
Just need some more support, fingers crossed for something good
Yeah, I was there X-2-2, but I couldn't stand my judges. Apparently, pot a prosperity lets you draw, not add to hand 😂🎉
I don't think I'll ever attend that regional again, not with judge calls like that.
hate to see it
what would you replace the 2nd magnamhut in the side with now that he's limited?
Either a third Druiswurm if you expect a lot of unchained, since druiswurm is very good against them, or just a baldrake will do since you can tribute off your berfomet or guardian chimera for an additional interruption. Can also play any other handtrap like phantazmay, droll, or a pankratops or something if you like.
como bajas zeus ?
Talents take an xyz and attack with it. It came up against purrely and it was also there for arise-heart and d/d/d xyz
Why no super poly ?
not a fan of its utility going second in this format
Why not super poly, did you missed it at all?
Check my FAQ video about this list, i answer that in depth
@@phantomsygo thanks!
What and how many did you usually banish of pot of prosp?
video going out tomorrow to answer this and other questions. banish 6 almost always unless you have 1. bfusion, 2. chimera engine and 3. crossout already
@@phantomsygo looking forward to it. Congrats on the 1st place!
Congratulations on 1st place from the guy that got 2nd. You deserved it, you're a good player
Appreciate it king 👑 you as well
@@phantomsygo Do you have like a business email or DM, so we can talk, and maybe collaborate on videos about the game in the future??? If that is ok with you
i got an email in the description
No unchained or lab, and only 1 purrly. Lucky day 😅
2 purrely but yea i’ll take it
Zeus? Why?
talents take and overlay
What if we don't have Fenrir?
it's tough to replace fenrir unfortunately. not sure. i'd like to replace it with a monster if possible. potentially main bystials? not sure.
Did I hear that right? You played 8 rounds in a 45 participant tournament? They did do top 8 single Elim then? Mathematically for Swiss a 45 participant tourney should be 5-6 rounds. When I played in regionals in 2009, socal was always 300+.
Still a fantastic win! Congratulations! I mainly made the first comment to understand logistics and to understand other regions experience.
Nah it was 245 ish people
Thank you though I appreciate it
@@phantomsygo oh wow, so it must have been exhausting. That makes more sense why it was 8 rounds then.
Good job man. I keep rewatching your branded videos and your explanation. Definitely shows higher caliber play. Glad the results are showing that.
I personally prefer having Branded Opening. I tried without it and I was constantly bricking
But if you use Pot of P, you can dig to the Fusion so makes sense. I don’t have that card unfortunately
Rip magnamhut
Why not plunder? D:
gz on the win
haha i think i'm goin back to plunder next
