My first Master 1 of the year, and I used Blue-Eyes XYZ OTK Deck, updated with some Light and Darkness Dragon cards to achieve it. The goal of the deck is go 2nd, break opponent’s board, and OTK if possible, by using Blue-Eyes cards as the core. The deck has plan B, if forced to go 1st, by summoning monsters with interruptions like Light and Darkness Dragonlord, N90, and N38 as shown in the video.
To win going 2nd, you need to have and use good staple cards at the right time against your matchups. My mathcups (in the final climb) were mostly decks that play well against Maxx C/Fuwalos, or if their decks lose to those cards, I often didnt have/draw them too late. Thus I decided I had to adjust by cutting Fuwalos to have better matchups against my opponents. I also consider Ash Blossom to be good for current meta, because it’s the handtrap with the most generic counter to most decks I faced (backrow decks lose to this more than to Maxx C). Going 1st against Tenpai can feel better with Ash Blossom, as it can stop Tenpai’s OTK. It also stops Maxx C if you want to OTK, as Maxx C can draw annoying handtraps like Nibiru/Veiler. Aside from those, I also swapped in/out some cards, like Lightning Storm/Thrust/Kaiju etc with Raigeki/Heavy Storm/Called by etc, to have better matchups in my climb. I also listed some alternative cards in the description below.

The deck’s gameplan of playing Blue-Eyes differs from this version https://youtu.be/sCbKUtuCld8 . This deck prefers to go 2nd, while if it’s forced to go 1st, it can do the same strategy against Maxx C/Mulcharmy, which is summoning Light and Darkness Dragonlord.

Hope the new Blue-Eyes support cards coming to Master Duel soon.
I put full list, alternative cards, and explanations in the video description.

Just a little bit of feedback on your videos, you should consider making the transition between music a bit smoother, it is very abrupt and a little jarring when it suddenly cuts out.
Love your content though.
Great vid, thanks for the showcase!
Cool to see the LADD support making the cut. Though we didn't see too much of it here, Dark End (+Light End) turning Seyfert into a 1-card rank 8 is so nice.
Feels better than Dangers, at least.
Thanks again!

Yestaeday from 10 duels 9 vs tenpai….master 3 rank
This is why i watch this channel , because of the transparency that convince me every time, not those duels :"look on my combo and that player is in platinum league" . This is how i like. 👍
Well now i can try out the horus engine since there's a selection pack that has them right now
Thank you so much for the handtrap tips!!
Loved playing this deck during the Theme event it was pretty fun, it’s probably a lot better with Bystials added to it along with Maxx C lol
There are no limits when you are as brilliant as seto kaiba
wow even before the link blue eyes and new supports nice~
A Dovahkiin in the last match playing lab against dragons Thats crazy
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
T-T IM SO HAPPY THANK YOU SO MUCH
HI quick question, I thought numeron is like 9000 here? since the combined rank is 9 why did the opponent surrender ?
you can't attack except with numeron, im a bit confused
12:15 No he was just bming for some reasons, idk why people are this evil
also he was in fact very very lucky
This is awesome, thanks so much for the more detailed "alternate" cards. As a blue eyes main, if it wasn't for your videos I would suck so bad at this game lmao.
Thank you for this.
updating my bewd with this one.
My favor monster to get rid of tenpai is my blue eyes tyran dragon. Love hes special ability
Watching you is like watching an artist, or Kaiba. Do you plan on playing physical?
I have a feeling when blue eyes support comes a lot of people are gonna switch from tenpai to that especially since the ocg version has a nasty boardlock
The biggest hit Tenpai players need is with the front of a bus
Gigachad kaiba reached master 1 with blue eyes again even before the new support
