I always have kept dragon's bind in the back of my mind. It's actually quite generic, was considering playing with with yubel anda heavy bystial lineup, or even in a rank 4 deck tornado dragon is easy to make. I dont play irl though.

[Backslashed]

I don't have to worry about Crooked Cook since I play Galaxy/Tachyon and GE Tachyon Primal makes the card useless by summoning it to the opponents field.

Starliege is really good in both Ryzeal and in it's home archetype.

Solemn Scolding is awful.
-Way too conditional.
-3k is too much.
-At most, you can play a single copy of the trap, because playing multiples doesn’t work.
(As you cannot have other set cards, including multiple set copies of itself)
1x Scolding vs 1x Judgement:
Judgement wins, because it is always possible to pay half and has a better activation window.
(-2x continous traps+scolding and the opponent uses twin twister in the draw phase, but you cannot negate it, while judgement could)

Scolding+Judgement vs. 2x Judgement effects:
- 4k+3k [LP] vs 4k+2k [LP] payed

So far it is always better to play the judgement effects, but what happens when you want 7 judgement cards?
(3x Judgements, 3x iron hammer, 1x Scolding)
You can draw 3 of those 7 cards
(scolding included)
Scolding among them not usable at all or you pay 7k LP and keep one counter trap in hand:
-Now you can have a dead draw in your opening hand, while also being at a lower life total.

Conclusion:
Everytime you play scolding, there has to be good reason for it. Maybe a lot of continous effects and you play aromage, where you need many lifepoints and it is cheaper to pay a fixed amount instead of half.

Everytime, I have ever played scolding, I wished it was a solemn strike or even a black horn of heaven.

Better alternatives:
Solemn Warning is a lot better, because negating a normal summon, is similar to a floodgate and sometimes may be the actual use of the judgment, instead of negating a spell or trap.

So it is probably a lot better, just to play as many solemn judgement effects as possible and splashing in some strikes and warning.
Sometimes you need to pay 4k LP to stop a normal summon and then warning is a discount.
Strike is also a discount. It is also possible to activate it most of the time, even after halving twice.

Scolding is a very powerful effect, but it it is too restrictive and too expensive.
I hate that card with a passion from my experience playing with it.

Judgement is always a good fellow to have around, but scolding just isn’t.
For example in a matchup with sword soul you get burned for 2.4k.
If you have a judgement and scolding in hand, then you again have one less card.
(set both cards, pay half for solemn, you have 2.8k LP left, which is not enough for scolding.

Scolding is currently an almost worthless card, that has been powercreeped by iron thunder’s existence.
Scolding was meant to be a worse solemn Judgement, when judgement was limited or banned.

Also about Iron thunder. If a card is activated in the column of iron thunder, no cards are destroyed on your side.
Iron thunder can also be used to negate your own cards to blow up opponents columns at spell speed 3.

When you have judgement or iron hammer. The part about blowing up columns is most often an upside.

Why is it out out of control when it’s played to counter the meta?

Lancea is searchable with seventh tachyon. Bonkers tech is finally realizing it's potential. Down with shifter decks. 👎

[cbgg]

Lancea has always been a staple in my personal side decks. Not only do I not want to sit through 20 minute Ritual Beast Combos, but in general, it is a really good check/counter to Shifter which is useable in a fair few competitive decks, so there’s that as a bonus to specifically countering Ritual Beasts.

Lancea was/is an underrated card in this regard. Glad I will not be taking it out of my side deck anytime soon.

PLEAASE MORE RYZEAL CONTENT I RLL WANNA PLAY THIS DECK IN TCG

[MrThemelloman]

I laughed in crooked cooks face and summoned my own, bigger towers and started smacking😂 it was so funny

[isaiahjack]

I’d love to see your evil hero fiendsmith deck profile

[frosticle]

I’m considering Contact C in Sky Striker. Fewer bricks to pair with Dimension barrier.

[Zmon]

Evenly matched isn’t really a tech card you’d have to be stupid or play a very weird deck not to play it going second. in this format it’s way too Good should’ve just sent straight to the GY instead of Banishing face down.

[kapwns]

Surprised that, and the band played on, wasn't mentioned as a raz floodgate

[DiontaeWalsh]

And the band plays on would be another good tech choice………..maybe

[knallb]

I feel like book of moon/eclipse are going to be exzellent board breakers against ryzeol since they cant build any omnis and their entire strategy (both going 1st and 2nd) revolves around the rank 4s staying on the field so if they already have to play so many solemn cards I dont think the deck is going to have quite the impact in the TCG as in the OCG as they cant play too many handtraps going 1st because they have to play like 9 counter traps so their board doesnt get annahilated by the first book of eclipse, raigeki, change of heart, evenly matched they come across as the only negate they could theoretically build is Heretical horosphobos and that one isnt really the creme de la creme. I think maliss will not have such problems because the deck plays shifter and just how hard shifter hits almost all decks.

umm beatrice is banned in ocg wtf is dood talking about

[rinkujoka]

You keep mentioning beatrice while she got axed already
