Quick update!
I should've clarified, but more trap heavy Labrynth builds are going to be fine against Tenpai! More monster heavy lab deck are going to be weaker.

My bad!

EDIT:
Other cards that are also good and have been brought to my attention
1. Simul Archfiends

Just beat a tenpai player at a local tournament using my updated Ancient warriors deck. I totally agree with the info on this video. Cosmic cyclone on the field spell, ash upon paidra summon along with feather duster, ancient warrior lu feng to snipe as soon as they summon and Sun Mou to pop the big guys who effects activate upon being sniped. Great video, you gained my subscription 👍🏾

Man, you're becoming the best channel out here! This content is what I haver ever wanted last 2 years :D

100% going to be play raidraptor readiness in my raidrapotor build just for this.

If my Girl and Moye are drowning, catch me at their funeral calling Dark for Protos

Other good option for siding against this deck is Black Goat Laughs.
Can use it as a set card to limit their damage output and keep them from special summoning. Calling Chundra is generally the best option since that keeps them from getting a tuner, or if they've already normal summoned it, you can call one of their synchro monsters and limit the damage output.
Grave effect allows you to banish it and negate a monster's effects with that name for the turn. Multiple targets that vary depending on game state.
Can't use the on field and grave effects in the same turn, so pick your poison, unless you're a Lab player and have rollback in the graveyard.

My homie #41 bagooska cooks them to perfection

Nightingale is interesting. The other thing about Snake Eyes is their common endboards, assuming they get that far often have a way of answering the field spell whether that’s dis prater popping it, or hot red dragon archfiend negating it or if they can pull it off SP can just banish it…then Tenpai has to compete with a large array of hand traps themselves.

I’ve picked up a play set of mirror force, magic cylinder and battle fader for this match up

[MonkUnitBrawl]

Another counter that no one seems to be considering is Zombie World or Clockwork Night, as long as your deck doesn't care about types.

Bident Dragion, Transcend Dragion, and Trident Dragion all require dragons as materials. Bident can't target a dragon in grave, Green can't target a dragon in grave, and Red can't use its hand eff to summon if Zombie World / Clockwork Night is active.

They would need to open LS/Duster/Cosmic to beat them or it forces them to make something like Kuibelt which is a generic Lvl 7 synchro that pops a card on summon, but they would still need access to Kaimen to continue extending and OTK there.

[szymonsadlo]

my mission for this format is to activate Prohibition and call Chundra 😂

[DarkRockerTom]

I think kash will struggle slightly, but scareclaw kashtira is a fantastic card against them. Forces them to have droplet for it.

[Anemoi_]

Tenpai Dragon? More like Senpai Dragon 🤤

[MasterDrood]

Waboku, threatening or thunder of ruler, I think can be easily incorporated as they will prevent you from dying that turn

[abedgabrielmachadocastillo]

Bro first time watching you, this was helpful, keep the good work !

[deanoor]

I just use waboku with dimensional barrier then just break their boards on my turn with rikka
Sniping the field spell makes things a bit easier to deal with

[blitzBS]

This is lowkey a free matchup for branded unless u get sacked with Kaiju + droplet, I’m curious wether or not people think buster is worth siding

[cgtrs]

These 15 card engine mini decks are a blessing and a curse

[classick]

For those who are thinking about playing random garbage like Mirror Force, Wabuko and Battle Fader, don't.

Play Numeron Wall as it has the exact same states as Fader but activates during the Damage Step so it it's harder to interact with and doesn't require ya to control no monster monsters or if your deck plays Xyz monsters, Smoke Mosquito

[Dovahkiin]

Interesting vid for sure! How would Purrely match against Tenpai? 🤔
