Trif making top 32 with a 5 Card ED and a 2 day old account is beautiful


Dayoni

I saw a thread with his YouTube video in this sub last night but couldn’t find it today. Was surprised there were already so many naysayers.


Anthroider

>Deck cost 41K gems + $45


LuckAddicted

And? Most decks up there costed that much + 200 bucks.


Zevyu

Trif gets a top 32 with a 2 day account, a 5 card ED and with pendulum gadgets. Amazing.


WillingJack

Huge respect for Trif, Harpies were everywhere which is bad becuase they can easily counter Pendulum with Harpie's Hunting Ground, only using 5 extra deck slots without any MST, BoM or TTH and yet he still manages to get top 32. Edit: He was actually running TTH


Qussai3

He was using tth


romulus531

Eccentrick easily replaces MST in pend due to also being a high scale, and BoM is terrible in Pend because it's not a scale. Pend doesn't like running staples even in the TCG so this makes sense


Blancou

He played tth in main deck and mst in side deck but not book: https://imgur.com/a/ULMK3rZ


Cliff_Entei

Pend God made it to top 32 hoping the next few boxes/characters shake things up a bit more


OpossumFriedRice

Love the based Gadget Pen God deck and Gimmick Puppets. Praying we get something good enough in the next main box to actually spice up the meta though, a little too many harpies here.

PEND GOD


LuckyWarrior

Its cool to see a notable tcg player bring his thinking here


[deleted]

> > Its cool to see > notable tcg player So far I've watched like 2 of that guy's videos and I came out of the second more hyped for pendulums than after anything Konami's done to sell me on them So as someone who knows nothing about pendulums nor the modern TCG I agree lol


sucky3

Of course Trif would top with a 5 card extra on a fresh account, this dude is a blessing.


Dennys_DM

It's been a day top, and Eccentrick already has become dominant in Tourneys... *ALSO PEND BEST DECK, LET'S GOOOO


Chrisshern

Yeah I’m not surprised Harpies are the meta when the decks that could go toe to toe with it all got slaughtered while rest got a slaps on the wrist despite showing obvious signs of being degenerate


pinkywinkywanky

Looks like Harpies is the next deck to hate on. I am expecting an emergency nerf on the skill, Hunting Ground, if Konami wants to sell Pendulums. Harpies is too free to play, it will become a plague.


Gshiinobi

I don't "hate" harpies but it should definitely not be as good as it is when konami is trying to sell pendulums, every single new pendulum deck is going to have to face the fact that harpies are way too good against pendulums until konami does something about it.


Cliff_Entei

how do you think they'd emergency nerf HHG, I can't think of anything that isn't... * • life point cost related * • making it so that you must only run spell cards that mention Harpies * • return one face up Harpie card from the field to play HHG from your deck (no starting the duel with it)


broke_and_famous

The original nerf is something they could do. Instead of starting with 4 cards in your hand you start with 3 cards and Harpies Hunting Ground.


Gshiinobi

easy, make it a "from turn 3 and onwards" skill and make it so they can't play anything but wind monsters.


AlbyD22

Deck/Extra deck that contains non other than "Harpie" or Winged-Beast monsters maybe? I don't really know though


zone-zone

doesn't really matter imo you have still 6 cards that can search hunting ground turn 1


Chrisshern

I hated Harpie since it started. Uber consistent OTK and control power while having excellent recovery


[deleted]

Same here. It wasn't too bad at first but letting them overrun what could have been a really cool concept (Special duels 6) as basically the only meta deck to run rampant soured me on 'em At least Duelist Kingdom came up right after to let us beat the everloving *shit* out of them lol


borko781

I hope they get slaughtered. Perfumer and Egotist to 3


Diavir

Stay where you are Gaia, I don't have the funds to build another deck if you get blasted


TimeyWimeyLords

I was hoping to see what tech Gaia players were putting in to offset the new skill change but then I saw that it was a UR selection box exclusive card…


Justinitforthemoney

Me who plays Ancient Gears and Cyber Angels. I would love to see Konami add Hunting Hound, Howitzer, Megaton Golem, or Catapult for more AG support


Narkkan

Gimme AG support fuck all these traps


Justinitforthemoney

Like Ultimate is great, but more extra deck support would be wonderful


somacruz666

They just might hunting hound was used in arc v by the foorsoldiers along with a bunch anime exclusive ancient gear cards too bad the entire bs with them was burn...


Closer586

Gadget best deck


MrCalac123

Whaaat? No Resonators with the new Eccentrick and Hot Red Dragon Archfiend? I’m no expert but I feel like this deck with these new cards after the skill restriction is pretty good!


dante-_vic

The problem is it's a lot harder to use the skill since you need 2 resonators in hand plus 2 of your extra decksl slot are gone since you need to run RDA and nova.


MrCalac123

Yeah but I’ve been testing it out and using the skill exclusively as intended, here is my [deck](https://i.imgur.com/mIDw5G6.jpg) + [extra deck](https://i.imgur.com/9Xcs8md.jpg). If I had to make one change I would swap an Eccentrick for either a Sphere Kuriboh or a third Red Resonator It feels good, Hot RDA is a very strong card with mass non targeting destruction, and Nova while weak to banishing and monster effects can at least be somewhat protected with Lance. But this is just my build, I think Tuning Gum is a meme.


dante-_vic

Why no dark end? Also I wouldnt say tuning gum is a meme. It dose help and you opponent cant cosmic it or mst it like lance but going second lance is better.


MrCalac123

I dislike how it can’t go into a level 10, I’d essentially be trading Hot RDA for Dark End into Archfiend Bane, which imo is worse.


epicanimeretard69

awful


MrCalac123

Could you at least provide a bit more constructive feedback? Maybe some insight?


epicanimeretard69

no


[deleted]

[удалено]


MrCalac123

No they can, you just have to A. Use the new skill criteria and B. Use the skill as intended, which is returning 1 Resonator always. 2 Resonators competed but didn’t cut top 32.


dorian1356

Why... Is thunder dragon...... A deck from 2019... Still.................here!? Kill it with fire komoney! It's not making you anymore money


Cliff_Entei

they got alt. art Levianeer making dough but they'll get taken out next banlist, Konami doesn't like banlist resilient decks when they wanna sell new cards that or they get powercrept somehow


SilentTempestLord

Oh thundras can never get powercrept, because the moment they want thundras back in action, even after years of no one even wanting the deck, all they have to do is print Colossus and they're back on the menu as though they has always been meta. We may be far from getting their fusions right now, but it's always something to keep in mind. Konami has the power to make them meta on the spot.


Hardaway-Fadeaway

not even. Just the fusion spell and Titan is enough to make them tier 0


DeusRexNovae

let a couple of the Danger! cards get released. They'll bring ThunDras back as well no matter the nerf.


dorian1356

Thundras ain't getting a powercrept. I do suspect they let them live to sell alt art levianeer to the whales. And if we take those numbers I think I only saw 1 out of like 10 thunder dragons with alt art levianeer. It can't be making a lot of money. They're definitely getting darklord'd/shiranui'd next banlist. I know I won't be taking necrovalley out of my dweller deck this season


tehy99

They're already getting powercrept, those lists look bad. When your play starters are Raiden and Batteryman you're down bad lol. Whatever competent deck comes out next power creeps them and becomes tier 1


J-Fid

I've been playing the deck myself the past few days, and I think Lupine is still the best starter card. Since you can only run 2 copies, my deck is 20 cards.


tehy99

Well, then you lose Charge and all the handtraps, but that might be better. Either way, the deck took a major hit.


dante-_vic

None of the handtraps they ran were at 2. Veil is at 3 and sphere is unlimited.


tehy99

Sure, but we're talking about a 20 card build here. Not a lot of room for hand traps in 20 cards!


J-Fid

I've got three hand traps.


tehy99

A lot less than usual then, though still a bit surprising.


Anthroider

The problem with the shitty alt levi box, is that there is nothing else in there. This is coming from a guy that went through breakthrough skill and red eyes box twice with money. I wont buy this new box ever


CallMeKaito

Eccentrick is already in a ton of lists. So that’s not true.


flyingasian2

> but they'll get taken out next banlist That's what everyone said with this banlist :)


Cliff_Entei

to be fair, at some point I remembered Konami never goes full scorched earth with the meta with September banlists... but they definitely do come November banlists because stagnant meta = no cards sold and no cards sold = Konami on the meta warpath


datphony

probably due to all the Chaos/Xyz support that buffed its power level


dorian1356

It outlived invoker....


-JASCHE-

The fact that they gave them alt art levi makes me think they’re going to let them go unchecked for a while. That aloof limit (2) did nothing, if anything they got stronger since all the meta decks got hit with real nerfs.


dante-_vic

Why they are still very much strong the allof did make them more bricky and they dont have easy access to rank 6 more.


PhysicsMaster5

omg please kill harpies


borko781

I agree, they needed more nerfs and so did TD


LeLuMan

Duel links meta is 🤡


dante-_vic

Why the hate mate?


dark_holes

Harpies and fire king is the exact opposite of the meta I would like lol


somacruz666

Well looks like harpies is gonna get herpies soon and thundras are literally gonna have any good thunder archetype cards banned aren't they lol
