Q: What has Konami done now?
A: Made more sweet sweet love to their two pet decks, Blackwings and Lightsworn.
This is going to be a (most likely) horrible format to play in as LS now have a 49% chance to open with a Boss level monster, either JD or BLS. If you include DAD as Twilight decks most likely will the chance rises to 58%. Note that this is just the chance or natural drawing them, not counting in any Duality searches or Recharge/Allure draws. AND the fact that you can get back JD and BLS with Beckoning Light should turn this into a retardedly consistent deck.
List Here
Things I like : Fishborg, Mind Master, Trunade, LSS Shien, Debris, Lonefire, Librarian, Formula, Smoke, Avarice, Dewloren, D-Draw, SoRL, Call, Reaper.
Things I am "meh" about: Oppression (was retarded to hit this with MST going to three), Necro, Mind Crush, Overload, Megamorph, Gravity Bind.
Things that made me put down my deck and not want to play immediately after I read this to this point right now: BLS (dumb, but at least expected), Storm (not that it is back, just the way they did it), Tragoedia (wtf), JD (wtf), Icarus Attack (wtf)
I don't know what they were thinking when they decided to bring back Storm AND 3 MST. That gives you NO good way to play defensive backrow. One card, gets MST'd. Two cards, gets Stormed.
However, I'm gonna hold out hope that this will become a skill based format as people are unwilling/unable to deck the 3 MST and then you get to try to bait your opponent's Storm into something that will make it an even trade or even let you plus off of it (two revival traps into Sangan and Card Trooper for example.) Even just pulling off one CotH/Limit Reverse into something that will give you advantage when it dies can at least reduce your opponent's Storm to an essential one for one.
I also expect cards like Threatening Roar and Battle Fader to make a strong comeback this format. They can both be used after storm to keep your, or in the case of Roar your monsters, alive to the next turn so you can try to make a comeback.
Overall, I am very disappointed in this list, but think the players will have alot of choices to make. In the beginning of the format the more skilled players who can make better reads will often perform better. But as the decklists become more standardized and internet n00bs start to Copy/Paste their decklists we will see a return to the luck based format we have now...
Maybe...
More to say on this tomorrow as I organize my thoughts.

What do you mean by [Rabbit Anyone?]
ReplyDeleteYou can't special summon Rescue Rabbit with Summoner Monk. Read Rescue Rabbit.
Yeah, I had a friend of mine point that out to me too.
ReplyDeleteMonk could still do cool tricks in Rescue Rabbit decks, especially here in the TCG with Tengu, but not in the same way that I was intending.
