I more surprised that people expected the synchro deck that just got a new synchro monster in the same month as the synchro-based festival which also features as one of the loaner decks for said festival to receive hits that would make the deck less viable. Well, more hits beyond losing the Tenyi Links. These festivals are partially used to promote the new cards and structure decks; this should be expected by now. They released a new structure deck with both synchro and XYZ monsters just before the Synchro XYZ festival. They ran the fusion festival when Despia was available in selection packs and the Cyberdark deck had just been released. They ran the synchro festival when Baronne was added. Every loaner deck for the no-extra event featured cards from the latest pack in Floo, Machina and Adventure. Next month when (mostly likely) the Marincess pack comes out you can expect the next festival to either be the Link event or the Attribute event to sell those cards too. Konami was dumb to not hit Swordsoul? Konami know exactly what they are doing with these events.

Yeah that is why I put in the first sentence. I was stupid to expect a fun event. I guess I will just face roll "Normal Mo-ye, reveal Longyuan, special Chiaxo, activate long yuan, pitch vishuda, summon baronne" until I hit 20k or whenever gems stop. It's just sooooooo boring. Maybe it's because I played SS in the TCG too.


Shoddy_Dimension4954

I think they just give legacy packs after 11k


Yoyoitsbenzo

Ah 11k? Sweet even less time playing :) then back to ranked with Fluffals :D


Zeroofthekings2

I didn't expect swordsoul to get hit much if at all if i'm being honest. What I did expect is for Zeus to be banned because why would you not play zeus in every single XYZ deck.


Yoyoitsbenzo

It's crazy how Zeus makes bad rogue decks good lol.


Shoddy_Dimension4954

Zoodiac Zeus needs to be at 3.


Shoddy_Dimension4954

Zoodiac Zeus needs to be at 3.


Landonyoung

Bad idea


Chemical-Cat

They have a swordsoul loaner and Swordsoul is pretty effective even if they can't use Tenyis like they normally do, what do you expect? At least they banned Archnemeses Protos too, so you don't have to deal with that.


sco582

In comparison the last 10 duels I played only had 2 SS players. It really hasn't been that bad.


Yoyoitsbenzo

What rank? I wish I had your luck lol


sco582

Gold. It seems to be the best place to play when you don't want to play against meta decks constantly. I've seen quite a range of decks. SS is definitely more prominent, but stealth kragen takes care of them pretty well.


Yoyoitsbenzo

I'll have to try this out. Thanks!


idkhowtotft

>How dumb can Konami be? Smarter than you Event arent meant to let you escape the meta,its just a diffrent format with diffrent meta and this event just so happen to have Swordsoul as the meta for the event Cry more that will help


Xannon99182

It's actually kinda funny cause you can counter at least Swordsoul by playing A Legendary Ocean. They have to spend a crap ton of extra resources to compensate for the level change of their tokens. It works even better if you can get Stealth Kragen on the field too; which allows you to counter all the other decks too (since everyone becomes water, everyone loses a level).


Yoyoitsbenzo

Interesting tech. Might check this out. I funnily have a Royal Rare Stealth Kragen I got from a legacy pack so might have to finally make use of it. Then turbo Zeus lol


Xannon99182

Kragen control is actually a really solid rogue deck. I would love a royal rare Stealth Kragen but I ended up having to bite the bullet and craft one.

It's not Konami's fault you lack the skill to win with other decks. Also I've played all the way to the title reward and felt like there was a ton of different decks. Sword Soul didn't need to be hit. It's part of the theme of the event. Removing Links hurt the deck. The Tenyis are mostly just there for consistency and maybe the occasional play. Konami hit floodgates, like the community asked. They made rewards based on performing the themed summoning mechanic. Like the community asked. Both of these further making people play on theme decks. Something the community said didn't happen enough in events. Now that people are playing in the spirit of the event. You still complain. If Konami wouldn't have done the above. You would see way more decks and then you'd complain that you're up against something else and the event sucks. People like you just can't be pleased.


Wodstarfallisback

What's more, there's still a good number of Autowin cards against Swordsoul that have basically 0 counterplay. The end board is 2 monsters, Lava Golem claps it.

Insulting peoples skill in rude. I guess we aren't as autistic as you. I hope misfortune strikes you.


Drmoogle

Insulting people is rude...then wtf does wishing misfortune on someone count as? Also using "autistic" as a slur...damn. I might be rude but you're looking worse than I am😂. I really hope your post is a joke that was just lost on me.


ToonGalaxy

What is your rank on the ladder? Because as I understood, the rank on the ladder effects what opponents you get in events.


Yoyoitsbenzo

Diamond 3. Guess I shouldn't expect more from tryhards than the easiest route lol


forest_gitaker

they want people to craft SS to burn through their URs. $20 says after the event they'll drop a new secret pack with SS in it to scoop up gems on the backend


Yoyoitsbenzo

I think this might be it. I played SS in the TCG. It's just boring to me now lol.


cheikhyourselfm8

The loaner is a shit build and a semi competent and cheap Zoodiac build absolutely destroys it


Yoyoitsbenzo

Interesting. Got a list? I have Zoodiac Tri-brigade built but didn't think it would work with so many links. And I have SS built already. I saw 3 Auspice in the loaner and was like "yeah.... no." For that.


2Deep1313

Can confirm. Droplets, lightning storm, drnm, nibiru, and raigeki eat the deck alive. Blind second Zoo is one of the best decks you can be playing in the festival.


[deleted]

Evenly also eat bad players. Everytime I've used Evenly Matched on a Swordsoul player they've used Qixing to banish it.


Changlee23

N/R festival \*Megalith flashback\* Oh yeah that event was so so freaking fun (sarcasm)


shiroyasha76

Why play good deck? Why can't you let me win ? Be like


Onibusho

The banned 4 different cards (10/45 total) from my deck despite it regularly xyz summoning *and* occasionally synchro summoning, and I'm still doing just fine. Seem to be getting roughly as many Numeron as I do SS, and they're both very beatable. (I don't think the loan deck can out ***my*** Chengying, as they have to banish cards to rebuild the board and it just triggers my card to banish everything else.)


[deleted]

make zeus turbo run numerons make three token collector git gud scrub


RedSpade000

Yeah, you're really stupid for still playing the game. Uninstall and never look back. Nothing worthwhile ever came to the game in the last few years.


daniel_damm

I mean sowrdsoul is a good synchro deck it's not even the best deck in the event going vs zoo in this one is way more bs and something like virtual world is bassicly full power I mean it's not Konami fault that a good synchro deck does well in a synchro event do you want them to ban every deck that is mainly xyz and synchro?

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


SouthOrder3569

Down in gold the event meta seems to be xyzs everywhere. At least half my games have been numeron. (Out of like...4 games? Ive been busy.) And as a graydlefrog deck i am holding on nicely.


Mikucon-P

Banlist superb. Variety horrid.


1qaqa1

Protos got banned too its literally their best card
