4th Place YCS Toronto - Tech Genus

[gaymon1991]

Thanks so much for the deep analysis

[breakboi123]

check your messages, i want to ask you about this tech card!

[breakboi123]

fasho! have u changed anything in the magic/trap/monster line up recently? and do think 3 skills drain is too much? thanks in advance

[trynet123]

@breakboi123 I haven't touched this deck since colombus, and a more updated list from that event was posted on my channel a few weeks ago. I always felt 3 drain clumped the hands too much.

[breakboi123]

would u still main barbarous over thunder king? or maybe consider using both. thoughts?

[trynet123]

@breakboi123 I still really hate thunder king in this deck, and still really like barbaros. I don't think rabbit changes anything.

[The8BitF0x]

You're GOOD!

I'm trying to build T.G. , but I don't have barbaros's or tengus and am missing 2 strikers, a skill drain and a starlight, do you have any spare for trade?

[trynet123]

@The8BitF0x Sadly no, they shouldn't be very difficult to find though. Strikers are like 50 cents each, and barbaros is a couple dollars. Skill drain might actually be the hardest card to get there.

[DemiVFade]

@trynet123 Where do you get Striker for 50 cents each? I thought Striker is at least $3 each.

[trynet123]

@DemiVFade exaggerating a bit, but really it shouldn't be too hard to pick them up for like a dollar each in trade with other people. Just don't go to a vendor and you should be fine.

[The8BitF0x]

Heavy Storm?

[trynet123]

@The8BitF0x why? I love opening set 4 pass. Storm is more dead than live in just about every matchup. I'd rather play typhoon. In all honesty, I feel storm is the most overrated card in the game, I may do a video on that soon.

[ZeroBassSerenade]

Out of curiosity, why no Rai-Oh"s?

[trynet123]

@ZeroBassSerenade I never liked it, it prevents me from playing as aggressively as I'd like to, and it doesn't float.

[TheJavonWalker]

The most informative Yugioh videos on Youtube.

[yugiohchannel2]

What do you think about King Tiger Wanghu in the side deck or even possibly in the main deck?

[trynet123]

@yugiohchannel2 It just doesn't do anything right now versus the decks I'm worried about. Definitely not enough to justify maining it.

[jtakas4]

was there any reason that you didn't play librarian or naturia beast?

[trynet123]

@jtakas4 I didn't own a librarian, and it wasn't relevant enough for me to pick one up. It is very difficult to make naturia beast, and I just didn't bother playing it. I probably should've played a power gladiator and magical android though, not that it's all that relevant.

[jtakas4]

@trynet123 oh yah that's right, you need an earth to make that happen. i kept thinking striker into warwolf would do. woops.

also it seems macro/d-fissure decks are gonna be on the rise, at least side board in the meta so what would you do main board and side board against that?

[dennydu101]

Also why does Liberty at last! says return to hand on a copy I have?

[trynet123]

@dennydu101 it was errata'd to send them back to the deck. Check the wiki.

[dennydu101]

what do you think about Compulsory Evacuation Devices in tgs?

[trynet123]

@dennydu101 No room, and I'd rather play more dprisions before playing compulsory.

[FashoBROTO]

what do you side out for stuff

[trynet123]

@FashoBROTO I went over a lot of my siding in the article I posted on tcgplayer

[FashoBROTO]

@trynet123 can i have the link?

[Xxkiller914]

every top deck has to have tengus.

[trynet123]

@Xxkiller914 Agents don't play tengus, so idk what you're talking about.

[Excreated]

didn't even know about liberty at last, doesn't seem bad at all.

[trynet123]

@Excreated Nobody knew about it, that is what made it so strong.

[Excreated]

@trynet123 I've been toying with T.G. for a while, Maxx "C" mained is a good choice, in my opinion. Too much fairy/plants everywhere. Thoughts?

[trynet123]

@Excreated Maxx "C" isn't a bad card. It's solid versus fairy/plant, but I feel like in a lot of rogue matchups it's dead. It's really good to side, as I said in my tournament report which was posted on TCGPlayer, my main regret with the side was playing chain disappearance instead of maxx "C"

[Excreated]

@trynet123 Wouldn't chain disappearance hit plants pretty well? Excuse the scrubness, I'm just getting back into the game, I took a couple months off.

[trynet123]

@Excreated It isn't bad, maxx "c" is just better in a lot of various ways, such as being usable turn 1, and not taking a backrow slot.

[Excreated]

@trynet123 gotcha, thanks! ^^

[Megablast10]

You can call back a solemned tengu? i didnt know that

[trynet123]

@Megablast10 The only time you can't Reborn, or Call back a monster is if it was a seminomi(like chaos sorcerer)/card from the extra deck not summoned properly(due to being solemned, discarded, or milled)

.

[GojidSSJ2]

Ever consider running Gorz, or Sangan? And sided Thunder Kings? Also, would a 3rd Starlight Road be good over the Bribe? Might seem 'too much' but if for the consistency of a solid turn one it could be good.

Would like your opinions on these.

[trynet123]

@GojidSSJ2 I have a strong dislike for thunder kings, but other people seem to like them. I suppose it could work if you want to run them, I'm just not a fan.

3rd SLR is a waste, bribe fills the same role as that 3rd SLR while also doing other things. Drawing multiple SLR is horrible.

[dorifutokoi]

pretty nice that a deck so backrow heavy could top in a heavy + 3mst format. i find it kind of funny how some people think continuous traps are dead. good job man.

[TeamDarkMonkDJP]

congrats bro. I always see you at Philly Regionals and I didn't even know how good you were until I was watching you play in Top at Nationals. keep up the good work.

[TeamBattleFader]

dude nice deck,congrates on topping.

[mafiapride]

Also did you lose to a agents player? his name is jeremy?

[trynet123]

@mafiapride Um, I'm not sure. I lost to someone playing agents round 4/6, but I don't remember their names.

Probably because there are crickets.

[jcookchef10]

@mafiapride LOL yes, this is Jeremy haha. Round 4.

[mafiapride]

sounds like there are literally crickets in the background
