Deodorant is the best side deck staple this sweaty format.

[g-t-mac]

I feel like thrust is a little underrated in such a handtrap heavy format, the fact that d barrier and different dimension ground are so good right now means thrust has some viability

[littlezero]

Hey Jesse, would love if you find this interesting to make a video around it:

When I am looking at what makes a deck powerful I think it can be distilled down to these main groups, and then sorted in this order in importance (Possibly shifted depending on a meta/format):

1. Game ending win condition ( Able to end the game)
2. One card combos (Consistency)
3. Hand trap resilience (Ability to play through interruptions)
4. Control (i.e. stopping the opponent from performing their strategy)
5. Recursion (Recycle cards back to the hand/deck/extra deck to keep playing in a grind/win more)

What do you think? Am I wrong, or missing something? Have a good one!

Been playing with 60 card SE Infernoid Fiendsmith for a couple weeks now, no handtraps all breakers. Have room for 9 non-engine, currently using 3 Talents, 3 Thrust, and 3 Droplet. Been doign very well online with it and then did a 5 round tourney for INFO sneak and only dropped 1 GAME and that was due to a misplay I made by not correctly counting levels. I think this INFO format requires complete blowout staple cards, not cards that trade 1for1. Every card needs to be high impact type cards and also you need enough gas in the engine for the follow up.

An actual top tier competitive player actually putting Ash Blossom as a best hand trap staple unlike an insane person like Cali Effect. Refreshing

[Auovix]

I was really surprised to see super polymerization as low as it was

Always thought it was good against Voiceless, decent against Yubel, and turn ending when timed right against Tenpai but then again I'm playing rogue. Big agree on how cramped extra decks are though, and I do enjoy the card being useful going first or second.

[polodoskyz]

what you think about gnomaterial? it's pretty funny to lock link out of them when they make moon of the closed sky

[hughjazzspider]

I personally favor Simul Archfiends over D Barrier because it hit Link decks as well

[luka]

I was really expecting droll to be a main deck staple. You mentioned how it's good against Yubel and said it's not very good against snakes. But people were already siding it against kashtira snake eye, so why wouldn't we against fiedsmith? Engraver, tractus, ash, poplar, bonfire, wanted in gy.... it feels really impactful, and if they start with engraver there's not much they can do. It's also great against some rougue decks like white woods.
Would love to hear if you have a counter-argument or if it's just an oversight

[RabbitsGoDojyaaan]

I love Tear lists!

Oh wait that's not what this is. This is nice too.

[paranidherc]

Hey, can you make a tier-list of your favorite salads? :)

[nicholascouture]

What do you think about herald of orange light? Specifically melodious. The hand traps it can run is wide but with orange light as an option it feels absolutely necessary to run

[Xyvil]

Happy that I only play locals for the next 2-3 months.
Best of luck during the NAWCQ. ^^

Would mostly agree with your list, you explained your choices & reasoning in a way that's easy to understand.
Only things where I have different belly feelings are:
- Nib bc only really good when paired with specifically Veiler or Imperm → less good imo
→ I just don't like Nib too much with Tenpai, Yubel & Stun around
- Droll bc kills a lot of rogue & paired with one negate handtrap it can already be a turn ender → better imo
→ stops Runick strats, Gimmick FTK, seems good against Yubel strats, ...
→ kills plants? maybe?? (I know, EU problem only, but still)
- board breakers feel a bit similar to handtraps rn in terms of how many you need to have to play the game
→ maybe droplet is enough, if you have very good discards for it, but anything else into either SE or Yubel Findsmith does not cut it
→ even dark ruler + evenly don't do the job against the full Yubel Fiendsmith endboard
→ sooo for a board breaker only approach I'd say droplet is to be rated higher then the others & you'd still need to play 12+bb
→ don't like Book of Eclipse, since it can be stopped by Ash
- personal bias: I like the chicken nugget → weirdly working tech card vs branded & full boards, which we'll see all over the place,
since all the best decks now play with the goal of a plant size endboard in mind
→ for most decks the nuggets are still not worth giving up your normal summon I feel
(maybe it's something to be considered for decks like Kashtira, if they happen to not open Shifter)

Kashtira Unicorn would be interesting, since there are so many one-offs in the extra decks rn.

[slaygoblins]

Crow is searchable during combo in floo, so it's cracked. 🤠

[Airbornekilla]

Where is the schwarzchild infinity dragon bro I need that in my galaxy deck

[QuintonVelez]

Why have snake eyes haven’t been hit on the ban list yet

[mitchwilk]

@jessekottonygo do you think we will see Angel of Blue Tears milled off by Beatrice? I'm also nervous about Gimmick puppet lock through Give and Take and Blue Tears interaction.

[TgsMaverick]

Is it worth justifying playing mourner over veiler if you main shifter? (assuming we are already maining imperm, and we dont have room for imperm veiler AND mourner). Veiler is completely dead under shifter, and in my case (Im maining shifter in tenpai), the mourner life point burn can help mitigate tenpai's main issue under shifter aka the damage output. I guess the counter argument would be that if you open shifter their turn is probably over anyway and you can save the veiler for a potential turn 3/4

[rayshonharris]

lol 😂 the board breakers part didn’t age well

[dalexisfantasy]

i disagree with that staples, i dont think drawing 4 handtraps including nibiru would do a thing, they are just going to continue playing after that.
