Honestly think the Zoodiac package in Mannadium could be bigger, deck does a lot of self-popping so you could pull some shenanigans by popping your Ramram at the right time.
Maxx c is broken but allowed at 3 and can draw you a ton of cards but pot of greed is banned. If they gave us pot of greed it would only be at one and only will draw you 2 cards. I need them to make it make sense to me because I can't understand the imbalance.
Maybe he corrected himself on stream or I missed him doing so, but you cannot use Branded Banishment or Fallen of Albaz to out Sanctifire because it cannot be used as fusion material.
I like the idea of Zodiac, bc they are only extra deck used and you can prevent like link theme a dead hand. With using time thief theme, you can get trap mats with support xyz of them, which can be chained with the monster, bc it is time thief xyz and you cant negate new summoned xyz. I use Zeus very often with the Utopia which drops mats by destroying and stacking 2 mats for zeus if it is needed. Funny and it was by the hard nerf of barrage :)
Expulsion is unnecessary with Sanctifire. You can search and loop a single Branded Fusion reliably enough now that extra copies are potential bricks, but it's still the only HOPT Spell in the deck I'd consider running 3 of outside of Nadir Servant(which I'm considering dropping to 2 for space), especially when going for full gas piles that ALWAYS need EVERY card to have something to do. I haven't seen so many cards that I want to run a single copy of since the last time I tried out a Cyberse Pile in Duel Links. The worst part is you might STILL go over 40 even if you play every card worth playing at 1(don't do this, there are certain things like Albaz, Lubellion and Aluber you want to have at multiple copies no matter what build you're on). Reminder that Reasoning and Grass are non-HOPTs, which is the main reason Grass had to be limited to begin with.
Idk man i feel like KidArt at 24:29 couldve tagged barrone out with its standby effect so when they zeused they you know... Wouldnt lose barrone and can make another? Granted it wouldnt have mattered thanks to black hole but yk
NGL, I used to have a love/hate relationship with Maxx-C, especially when I was kinda newer to MD and didn't know what any decks did / chokepoints to hit in decks, these days I've joined the #BannMaxxC squad fully, it's not even just because of what it does to the game itself, it's actually starting to ruin content creator's potential footage AND tournaments like these. Like I can't tell you how many potential GOOD best of 3s that we just flat out miss 1-2 games of what COULD be great content in a great battle due to someone just dropping Maxx-C. They literally put MaxxC in to control combo decks but combo decks run MaxxC aswell so it's like.. "Watch me combo turn 1 then drop a MaxxC on you in turn 2" lmao. Its not the players fault either. What are you gonna tell someone.. handicap yourself by not running Maxx C in a "Competitive" game. Nah man, Konami just needs to ban the card like.. YESTERDAY, and finally let us move on and free those 3 deck spots up and start focusing more on how we can create and break boards fairly and actually git good. Even though players who use MaxxC aren't necessarily noobs, it's a noob card that basically promotes mediocre deck building and holds noobs hands. The card is like literally created for new players to get off tutorial island with.... there's enough board breaking cards in the game to let go of the Maxx C, Konami... Jeez. Lol..
Totally agree, and cards like Nibiru or Droll are already made to control combo decks and are much more balanced than Maxx"C" as well. For Maxx"C" it doesn't matter you summon a 20-monster combo or just 3 monsters for your basic line (like Vanquish Soul), the advantage Maxx"C" gives is already enough to cost you game.
"Good" players design their decks around doing more with less thanks to the stupid bug. That SHOULD be a good thing, but it isn't because of how polarizing certain game states become if they fail to open what they need to actually do that. And how many ridiculous things decks need to be able to do with just one card so all those workarounds don't result in constant bricking. The main problem with the card though has indeed always been how horrifically it limits deck design. But that might be what Konami wants, since forcing people to shoehorn certain cards into their deck honestly makes it easier to keep insane homebrews from spoiling their various attempts at powercreeping old tactics out of the format, and get people to actually consider trying new cards.
@@metalmariomega I honestly dont think it is Konami's intent, as TCG continues to play new archetypes without the existence of Maxx "C", but rather to boost the price of all its relevant cards (Ash Blossom, Called by the Grave, Crossout, and Maxx "C" itself) to increase profit.
@@hongquanpham7322 The trouble is that Konami now loves to create other decks that can summon negate in less than 5 summons, then continue their full combo. You can see Mannadium once in this tournament and can set up Barone de Fleur in 4th summon. Without Dimensional Fissure, this will be a full combo like nothing interrupts it. . Speaking of Droll, in the future we will get a new mechanic who can put monsters directly into your spell/trap zone. It bypasses Droll and Ash at the same time, you cannot use them to interrupt this play. . But if talk about fewer summon like VS or Labrynth. You should remember those decks gain advantages too while summon something. At worst, their condition is neutral advantages under Maxx "C".
Honestly, there are so many dozen-specials summons-a-turn decks in the Meta right now, I’m finding the Cockroach less objectionable than at any time *except* when EVERYONE was playing Braindead-D. Kind of want to puke over all the support Branded’s gotten, while so many other archetypes languish.
@@shawnpanzegraf5642 You're right about the support. We have seen more support for Branded in the last 2 years than any other archetype. I think it's time they let it rest and start coming up with support for other archetypes that did not make the cut. There are lots of interesting ways to play besides spamming fusions. Tears format got me sick of fusions.
What happened to purrely? They got a slight touch on the wrist and no mathmetch either? Seems like Kashtira is finally making a comeback after being mid for so long but only time will tell ig.
Maxx c at 1 just makes it more frustrating when someone opens it. You'll probably still have to play cards like Ash or called by since using just one Maxx C is enough to win the game.
I have spent 5ks to vanquaish and i didn't get any of the urs main deck cards wtf And instead i got most of the possisonuer nevelous the trash cocking deck
I get so mad watching bad dragunity plays. I accidentally closed the video. Dragunity is barely shown love and you get a spotlight to normal summon Dux? I am so mad
Fellas, please don't tell Dkayed I messed up the title or he's going to fire me. 😢
DKAYED FIRE GIA 🔥
mistake alert
You misplayed, now you're gonna get punished
Just tell him your fingers got infinitely Impermanenced. He will understand
Misplay from Gia
This is up so fast! Thank you guys as always for how hard you work on these tournaments. My favorite YuGiOh tournament series on CZcams!
Maxx "C" is still the strongest deck.
Dkayed and his team are insane between setting up the tournaments and recording and uploading 💪💪💪💪i love watching yugioh

konami employ a bunch of brainrotten potatoes , it's that simple .
Don't try to understand
glad to see more meta weekly.
dragunity is probably my favorite deck. i need to see it in the top 4
Finally. I've been refreshing since 7am west African time. I was watching the stream and slept off 😢
I need Dykaed videos in my life consistently. Without him I wouldn't have something to complain about the meta.
Top 18 in the title and you said we're in the Top 16 WHAT IS GOING ON!?
Yugioh math at work.
Top 18 Pog
Top eighteen PogChamp
Dragunity Strongest 💪

Meta weekly = resolve maxx c
At least branded can somewhat play through maxx c now
Albion pass, only giving 1 draw
Another Duelist Cup, another Emergency Banlist expected!

42:30 What a comback. Well play
"Attack animation for visas" my guy Visas who they should make one for all iconic boss monsters first like (Neos, Stardust ,...etc)
1:09:45
“Great! Now none of us can summon a Bystial!”
“That’s my Bystial!”
“No crap! That’s why I’m freaking banishing it!”
Imagine how powerful branded will be if Branded fusion at 3 and branded explosion is unbanned

“What the meek!?”
The best who does it, ever since DL. Konami tripping not hiring Dkayed 💯
10:56 You're right, Link monsters weren't a thing yet.
Isn't Barron a once per turn activation? Then why and how that happened? 24:30
2 extra tops this week let’s go
Seems like a lot of them are running a Zoodiac engine. Is it worth all the URs?
Idk man i feel like KidArt at 24:29 couldve tagged barrone out with its standby effect so when they zeused they you know... Wouldnt lose barrone and can make another? Granted it wouldnt have mattered thanks to black hole but yk

i got a royal drident. im basically forced to craft 3 barrage, sigh
dragunity is nut. friendship end with dragonlink, dragunity is my new best friend
If gimmick puppet generic monster number #3 is banned, the 3 gimmick players left on the world would be absolutely FUMING over Albion.
I felt cheated. It says top 18 but only 16 players 😢
Where can i get that dragunity deck list? It looks so cool.
Beautiful top 18.
What happened to purrely? They got a slight touch on the wrist and no mathmetch either? Seems like Kashtira is finally making a comeback after being mid for so long but only time will tell ig.
Mathmech diameter to 1. Big hit man what can I say? 😂. Nah real talk the format is unsolved
Maybe a lot of people just want to try the new pack?? Not sure
@mckenlyoneal143 still doesn't explain the sudden rise in Kashtira, but that makes sense ig
@@HeroKnightDBbecause dragon link
you clearly dont play purrely what can i say
Will dkayed will have a duelist cup stream?
Nib bluff isn't illegal 😂😂
Man maxx C see needs to be limited 🤧
Nah Ban it
@@elixgreen I feel you 😂 but limited to 1 is just as powerful
Maxx c to 1 at least 😢
No. ban it

@@flamewizard9022 true
I am a tribute summon true Draco main so I don’t really have a problem with Maxx c
Comboing on end phase is the new meta?
I have spent 5ks to vanquaish and i didn't get any of the urs main deck cards wtf
And instead i got most of the possisonuer nevelous the trash cocking deck
What in the Hp lovecraft is that thumbnail.
Yo! No way Top 9x2! :D
Konami should make Fenrir playable once per turn
very cool
But empen still at 1?
those birds deserve it
@kyji1569 yea well enjoy maxx c cause that was keeping it at bay.
I love the puppet floodgate, thanks konami branded really needed to be more toxic 💀
can we tribute summon over puppet? that gonna be other way to get rid od them
@@Someday-dt5bq so its just like branded fusion that locked you after the effect. thanks pal
konami banned the branded trap that abuses puppet then released a card that does the same thing 😂 just ban the damned puppet and ido.
VS is expensive enough without Barrage☠
I can't believe they are tier 1💀
I want to join the next tournement how??
People acting like Zodiac can not compete in this meta LOL.
How funny to see After 2 year Maxx C still « fair card »…
Since MD is a OCG format, that gona never changed… (this is why i playing OTK deck)
Nice
Top 36 when!?
guys playing kashtira have fried their brain ealier ain't no way you playin' that Konami boosted deck
Can’t they simply change the title to 16??
zoodiac is cool but its cope in vs
Decks are cringe, rip.
Vanquished soul is ridiculously op.
The advantage, the interactions, the consistency.
New decks just keep getting more and more dumb lol
Bann maxx c
bann maxx c that's so broken in this meta wtf are konami doing
No GG :(
With Maxx C exisiting there's no GGs only BGs
Master Duel is dying from maxx c
Why are people saying Zeus is at one he's at 3 right?
It's at 1 in Master Duel but at 3 in TCG
I get so mad watching bad dragunity plays. I accidentally closed the video. Dragunity is barely shown love and you get a spotlight to normal summon Dux? I am so mad
Wtf am I watching
Way too many filler, goof cards in the branded decks. They're trying to cover too many bases.
first
Meta is so stale. Branded, kash and vanquish. Some occasional Labrynth maybe. They should return Sprite and Tears to full power
