Because everyone's talking about DSummon winning YCS Sydney, I'll just leave me congratulations here, and get to the other notable event of the weekend: the ARG Circuit Nashville
You can check the results by taking a look at ARG Coverage Site
Just need to know that Fire Fist defeated Prophecy in the final (just as any predictions) but the 2 other semi-finalists were all playing Hieratic Ruler, whose decklists can be found here
Also, the famous CoreTCG writer Robert Bojyajan? topped YCS Sydney with the same strategy too
However I don't think this is the optimal build for Hieratic. They're fast enough to create OTK out of nowhere, especially after the addition of Labradorite Dragon/Star Eater
What they need is the faster and more stable combo setup, like Hanzo, Reckless Greed, Card Car D,... Not more power cards like the 4 Dragons
And the 4 Dragons weren't that powerful at all. Just one Blaster in your deck is enough to create OTK with the classic 3-card Hieratic combo, but with a synchro level 8 like Scrap Dragon/Crimson Blader instead of Gaia/M7/REDMD like before
Just like how Dragunity was far better than Dragunity Rulers, imo this trend will just decrease as soon as people playtest more
Hieratic is really good right now, and one Blaster just makes it better (free Grapha!). The 3 other Dragons and those Shrines, Skill Drains just make the deck worse
I'm pretty sure about that
D:
Agree . Reckless greed is garbage tho. But overall yes stuff like CCD is more optimal Imo
ReplyDeleteReckless isn't garbage in a deck that one more card will result in an OTK
DeleteOf course that's when Maxx "C" isn't taken into consideration, having to stop after Reckless isn't the best play. IMO you should play triple Reckless G1 and side them all out G2 and G3
