Honestly, the Machinedramon win feels like such a high roll, because Imperial just eats that deck alive.
lmao I didn't know you also waiting for a new BWG X
Seeing Doru do work makes me interested as I like playing black base decks 🤔
I dont play competitve so Im probably missing something, but shouldnt machinedramon be good against ancientgaruru? Chaosdramon cant be bounced to hand and you can redirect attacks with analogman. I know it could struggle against other decks. Just feels like chaos and analog could combat ancientgaruru.
Honestly as a machinedramon player i feel ahmd is bait if your going digivolve route as opposed to a on play
Honestly I think it is Philippine Hybrid
Definitely want profile for royalKs.
Ukkomon is causing nume and blue hybrid to be issues.
Yeah, 2 of the blitz option is standard in machinedramon. Sure, going higher increases your chance of seeing it in security, but Machinedramon's biggest weakness is consistency so you don't really want more cards that are bricks until late game.
Man why my rapidX so low q.q
East my dude thank you again for another phenomenal update. Small teeny weeny request – can you maybe not use the annoying “waah ohhh way” anime music, for some reason it’s very hard to hear what you’re saying while sitting in an airport because the music is louder than you. Haha. Music annoying, East Sensei not annoying. Bless my dude. Thank you again for all the content you make, really helps a person feel like the game isn’t going anywhere but onwards and upwards. Can’t wait for AGAR
Attack of the Heavy Mobile is generally a 2-of, 3 tops and thats only if you REALLY build for it.
The cycle you described tbh I think is why more people don't play it, top decks like Numemon are extremely solved, you know what 90% of your deck is as soon as you select your archetype, with a few flex slots. Machine not only has no set method of building it, but as you mentioned there isnt even a set gameplan for playing it. You can approach it a dozen different ways and most players dont consider it worth investing the time and effort to get good with it when other decks tend to be much more consistant with much less work.
I will say, Machine with 0 copies of Supreme Connection is insane to me… connection is the best consistancy piece the deck has access to, im shocked he topped an event without it 😅 but hey, if it worked for him more power to him! Once we get Cyberdramon Ace in the states im guna be playing copies of BT15 Guardromon personally, i dont like him in general but playing him helps your ace stay protected when you can evo over him, which is huge.
Evo is evo, like always. The Asia qualifyier championship store events is similar to last year's national qualifyers but this time is to a big event in summer where the top 16? or so goes directly to worlds
Love the forbidden memories soundtrack in the back!
I wanna see that Sakuyamon decklist!
I really wanted to see that Sakuyamon list, lol
🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸American hybrid best hybrid🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Loved the yellow vaccine profile, but the small count of rookies scares me 😂
It's still pronounced Sawn- dree-mon in English, it's just spelled the french way ('cause it's a french name lol)
To answer why one would cut the old Morpho in new Eos: It's just worse than the other 3 options available. The guy needs to get deleted, that means swinging into security and probably not dying because every deck since BT14 runs a bunch of mem boosts and trainings. The inherits of the promo and BT17 are so necessary to be able to play the game that you basically exclusively want to see them. And then Ukko is just good in general by ramping your eggs and searching (I don't believe in using promo Ukko in Eosmon)
Where can I find the Fanglongmon list? 😮
I'm not surprised bt6 morphomon got dropped to 1. Sure it's a 5 search but it being on deletion is so obnoxious.
The Super Eradication Attack more likely used against Digimon (Or Boards) that can't be effected by Digimon effects you just buff the hell out of your guy and for 2 cost just get rid problem card.
Hey East, hook me up with that Sakuyamon list that topped. Please and thank you.
Man I need to see that Sakuyamon list
I’ve been a Machinedramon main for a while now, and I’ve tested several builds, so far my veredict is that the building in raising one is still the best way to go.
I personally only play 1 heavy mobile, and no other options except for consistency. As for top end, I only play 4 chaosdramon, 2 chaos X and 2 EX-1 machinedramon, plus a Ragna because my locals love to play sec control and yellow decks in general 🫠
Finally understands all the potential plays of a new deck
Gets into regional tourney
"Oh no, it's all brick…"
You play Super Eradication Attack in Machinedramon for removal and as a security bomb, yeah, but you can also pop your own Chaosdramon X, it doesn't die because you can strip sources, you get to kill something big that's perhaps in your way, and then pop your opponent's security card off the Chaosdramon X effect. (It says WOULD be deleted.) Then you can potentially swing for game.
Poor Mastemon my queen T_T
In the Numemon deck I believe the reason they run yellow scramble over black is because majority of top end is yellow, they use the scramble to recycle top end.
East no, there's too much yellow in that Hybrid deck to be called American. Philipino instead!
Could we see that Gracenova decklist with Mirage it sounds rather spicy xD
I really love Mugendramon, but that list is 100,000% a high roll. Imperial rips it apart, so the fact is they probably didn't have to go against any Imperial players. Also, the fact that they didn't run ANY Supreme Connections is bad. That card lets you drop the CyberdraAce for 2, and can combo with black mem boost to do effectively the same for ex1 Mugen. Defense Training shouldn't have even been in there for that list. It has too many red cards.
