Super dope list, Josh! I hope you get to play this list or a similar list in an event soon.

Kurikara has been so good for me in testing. Really like the Lancea+kurikara combo instead of nib and eclipse. Big fan of cards that always do their job.

@@adrianmoral8634 been great against kash regardless of what board they make, but also outs things like dragoon and baronne if you can force them with an eclipse or something first. also lets you steal a monster you kill in the end phase so you can just take them for yourself if you cant get lethal that turn. havent tested this enough yet but ive been thinking about options against traptrix going second and this feels pretty nice to have in that matchup too since their stuff all stay on the board and usually have destruction protection, and pairs well with evenly. I was trying lava golems in different decks a lot but the normal summon restriction always seems to come up at the worst times for me, so this has been a very nice replacement. lancea is always good to have against evenly even if its less effective in other matchups.

Seeing how it's basically elf at home is kinda cute xD also sad i miss the stream you tested runick spright. The interaction with metalfoes fusion is cute too, but i think i will hate it since i definitely will draw it back. thx for the profile though ! For chat : TIME TO BUY MUCKRACKER BOISSS

what a great list. my hopes in spright runick are back

So the chat have to explain every choice ? « Why capshell ? » « draw »

Why did you decide to play the more pure version with Ipiria/Capshell instead of the small Live Twin package?

Clean list, you would have clapped with this for sure

Thank you, Josh, for pronouncing Muckraker correctly. Very cool.

Video was awesome! How do you prioritize the side out targets from the main? I feel I need every card in the main since it's engine and never know what to side out

@JoshuaSchmidtYGO

generally siding out some engine when going 2nd is okay since you habe the extra card to make up for it

I've been a Double Cross truther since it released. Even last format you could use it to give yourself a third Toad negate, yoink an important monster, interrupt a Tear fusion, etc. Even used it to steal a Pankratops out of my opponent's grave last night lol. Was pretty much always my Jet search going first.

i tried my list and managed to get to 3rd place lost only to kashtira but the huge diff here is was playing 40cards with 3evenly on main and 1 Scissor ( the lvl 2 monster ) but gonna check on ur list Josh and maybe play 43 with some diffrences or 42 cuz evenly in the main deck was so good for me that i dont wanna change it

hey Josh, have you been testing dark world at all?

hey josh you mention siding your non engine instead of maining it, but since the runick engine is so big, what are your usual siding patterns for the deck? Also are you not scared of decks like labrynth that have virus + dbarrier to stop your plays?

Going 2nd I think its ok to side out some amount of engine because you draw 6 cards instead of 5, so going lower on Runicks and Sprights by 1-2 each is fine

Akashic? Spicy, haven’t seen that in ages since grinder golem

For aktuelle Format is spright or naturia runick stronger

Hey Josh!, great vid!. I also run Akashic in a lof of MD decks great spicy tech choice! On another topic: I don't know if you're going to read this and sorry in advance if its a noob question but what are the benefits behind running Donner instead of Knightmare Cerb?. The ones I see are that Donner doesn't need to discard and also that It can just pop any monster unlike Cerb which can only pop special summoned ones in the main monster zone, but Donner having to pop himself isn't kind of a really big drawback?

You banish the Albion before it gets to set Expulsion

Wouldn't Fusion Substitute be better in the Metalfoes Fusion slot? I think 1) Recycling Hugin 2) Not shuffling the deck as to not redraw Runick spells that you bottom 3) Not putting itself in the deck like MF Fusion so as not to draw it again and 4) Not being a hard once per turn like MF Fusion would heavily weigh in favor of Fusion Substitute.

@GrandBlueCosmic

Жыл бұрын

It isnt bad but more so only works if you plan to remove Hugin or Dog off field. Which again you can do Metalfoes is just a lot more live.

If your branded opponent goes for the puppet lock just banish the Albion with your bystial. One big adventage of the puppet play in comparison to the deciple play is that it needs just 3 summons. They usually end with just an used mirrorjade on the Board to stop any bystial interrupts. If you banish the Albion you only lose against hard draw trap. If you want a even more consistent Option for this Matchup just side belle going scnd against branded on top of ash to negate the trap. If the branded Player try to end on an additional fusion monster to negate a belle or bystial with the bord they need to play into nibiru.
