They are.
But basically it’s two scenarios.
A) We get a list (or an announcement of a list) sometime next week with YCS Atlanta in the rearview.
B) What I expect, that with the knowledge of Link Summoning on the horizon, the TCG just won’t bother with one for three months until that happens.
Bruh YCS Atlanta…some dude bodied Zoodiacs with “Switcheroo” LOL
And Aaron Levy proceeds to punt his way out of Top 16
Zoodiac didn’t win YCS!
Tier 0? Naw son!
Love Paleozoic Frogs!!! With 40 cards too!
Makes me wonder what would’ve happened if Levy didn’t shit the bed against Cunningham in the first place. Because his deck was a lot more well positioned against Paleos. I’m honestly surprised Cunningham was able to take a game.
Too many people dismissed Kaijus when Paleos only got stronger with Lost Wind’s release. I’ll even say it, Lost Wind is the strongest Non-Zoo/Grass card that came out in RATE. Way too many people overlooked it (for understandable reasons but still). If you don’t have your playset, immediately change that.
Lost Wind tech was indeed strong. Chase just looked lost lmao
Also I’m just flabbergasted that people STILL Solemn Strike Toad on the summon.
Zoodiac isn’t strong enough to be tier 0.
Doesn’t have to be. Ultimate beauty of Zoodiacs. Unlike every other Tier 0, their worth isn’t in how they’re dominating every other deck.
Think of Tier 0 Decks like big Marvel Comics events. Most of the time, they’re like the Thanos Imperative or Onslaught. Everyone against this one deck, terrorizing and destroying everything in its path.
Zoodiacs however, are the Secret Invasion, or possibly Spider-Island. They win the war based on subterfuge or infection. They’re not trying to dominate everything by force, rather worm its way into every facet of the game. And in that matter they’ve succeeded.
Yes, Paleos ended up winning YCS Atlanta. But it was a great call knowing that 1) Lost Wind was supremely underrated and 2) Kaijus were starting to fall out of favor which makes Toadally Awesome a lot tougher to deal with when Zoodiacs aren’t huge on attack power.
But because Zoodiacs have their fingers in every strategy and the ability to adapt with absurd ease, don’t expect that to happen again. Expect to see either Kaijus to come back to prominence, or a lot more Trap hate coming out of the side like Denko Sekka, Trap Stun or even Wiretap (all three were already seeing a modicum of sideboard play at the event).
the whole thing baffles me, i mean it is clear as day that zoo kaiju is the strongest version and i dont think its even close…like kaijus out everything that would give zoo trouble, and to top it off zoo has somewhat slowed the format down, cause most zoo decks do their combo and set backrow, last format, backrow, especially battle traps were far and few between, so im shocked how people are not running denko in their side.
But the thing is pure Zoodiacs basically took half of top 32. Kaiju’s can be a liability. Pure Zoodiacs are more “safe”
Zoodiacs are consistency, Kaiju’s are power.
I’ve always said this but kaiju are stupid powerful and will continue to be relevant for as long as they are able to be played.
The sad thing is people aren’t playing waterfront with them even though it takes them to the next level.
you can win games alone by simply having slumber and waterfront in hand
Wow there’s alot of Drama involving the recent YCS champion.
Dick Pics
Phone numbers given out
death threats etc
And I’ll say the same thing I said to others who were talking about it.
Dude’s a giant prick who I wouldn’t be sad about if he were banned. But we can’t retroactively punish people. If either Konami or the general populace didn’t deem his shit ban worthy before, why would they deal with it now?
For sending dick pics?
C’mon lets not act like we don’t do that
Oh not the dick pics, I couldn’t give a shit about that…
The yugioh card market is ridiculous. Some of the most ridiculous cards are seeing price increases.
Happens every 3 years.
Like do you see this random dark world card that skyrocketed when dark worlds will probably never be good again. Lmao
