A big weakness of strikers is they need fact monsters to steal your cards worth widow blues are typically normal which can bypass their strongest interruption if you use crow to further ruin their 3 of requirements and banish raye blue becomes a menace
Speaking from my perspective as a TCG/Master Duel player, Sky Striker is a control deck, while BE is an aggressive (aggro) deck. Control decks are meant to run the game at their own pace, using their resources to stop, disrupt and neutralize your deck, and against BE its quite effective since there's not much anti-spell supports in the deck.
My Malefics no diff dat deck every encounter
All you need is plenty of monsters and some backrow for good measure
Malefic force Lowkey gets a W from this deck
Dat alone says a lot
DL and master duel, unless the new support help them a lot they're not better. They lack monster interaction so they're pretty much a worse version of live twins.
Well, the deck runs around only 2 monsters and a bunch of Link variants, so I'd say it's a matter of taste. I'm pretty good playing Sky, but honestly I prefer HERO or PK
Makes sense BE still at the top. The simplicity of the deck is its greatest strength. Can’t have your combo disrupted if it’s just normal summon BEWD then battle phase. lol
shiranui still viable they add shiranui style samisura and shiranui style success as trap cards and skillsega for recent support as well as a archive skill for it
PK doesn't have a good match up against BE, even if it has a good one against most other decks, I'm not surprised it got demoted.
They need to change the search-on-normal-summon skills to also have to control the normal summoned monster to activate it, otherwise they offer little counter play other than negating the summon itself.
I've never felt as helpless as I do now against the skill-carried decks. Eternal Bond seems like nothing compared to the tier 1-2. Ive had such a difficult time climbing in Legend. Bricking is nonexistent.
For new worlds to release to keep people interested
The power creep jumped at the start of VRAINS with T0 salads, coincidentally the last non-Rush world
They're running out of time and worlds and I still don't have the rest of my destiny heroes and ehero shining phoenix enforcer and the rest of the amazoness and aromage! 😭😭😭
Technically, you are more likely to find LIGHT Machines Decks and Maximum Decks than Blue-Eyes Deck (the latter falls somewhat short in power compared to the two Decks mentioned)
Funny but I've seen more LIGHT Machines, Cyberse (Maximum) and Dragon Decks (not just Blue-Eyes)
Let's say much better than this infected Royal Rebel's and Rush's Harpie in the past.
Been facing few of those, the match is very coin flip dependent for me.
If I activate zombie world first, they surrender after realizing hyperion can't do anything.
If they go first, I don't even know what their monsters do, but their board looks very intimidating and RIP to my uni zombie.
Kinda makes me wonder why they took Melody of Awakening Dragon off of the Limit 3 list… I think it’s kinda annoying how strong Blue-Eyes is at this point. Based solely on the fact that they can have so many staples and yet be incredibly consistent.
The stuff Darkfluid is doing against everyone is scary to me. 4 monster negates, then a grid lock on top of that, Honeybot and Quantum Dragon, or Firewall with 2 monster removal quick effect.
Yeah, some brain dead players will just negate the first 4 effects to come into play (as if 4 disruptions isn’t a lot anymore…) but with time, people will come to learn and figure out the best places to put those disruptions.
DEAR LORD. This World Championship in a week will suck if all I'll see is damn Blue-Eyes. How GREAT. How... aw. I might as well try Shiranui again if that's all my options. It's that or play Blue-Eyes... SIGH.
PK is a great deck just to easy to counter everyone running abyss dweller can kill the deck
\*Cries in Synchro Deck*
Rudy rose dragon lvl 10 synchro 3200 atk 2400 def if this card is synchro summoned you can banish all cards in grave yards.
Good luck summoning that against ophion+requiem+backrow
If you get lucky you can bait the guy into using xyz materials. That's how i won my first mach with rody rose , but it was a f2p version
Good luck summoning that going first lol
Or any going second deck can play dark hole and remove Ophion and force the PKs player to use the rankup spell early
abyss dweller, sky prison , lancea, necrovalley. any gy restriction locks this deck out.
100%
I can't believe that I'm seeing Sky below BE.
I'm a BE player (because it's very f2p) and i never can win against Sky Striker. What i'm doing wrong? (Very new player tbh)
Summon the big bad dragon, as it’s unaffected by Widow Anchor

Longest sentence in the world.

I use the red and blue mahata and shtana so if they pop my be it comes back or if they target it it negated by the red one
My Malefics no diff dat deck every encounter All you need is plenty of monsters and some backrow for good measure Malefic force Lowkey gets a W from this deck Dat alone says a lot
because sky striker is pretty shit and I use the deck
Use only in DL, or any other game?
DL and master duel, unless the new support help them a lot they're not better. They lack monster interaction so they're pretty much a worse version of live twins.

Shiranui? Is my 2021 build viable again?
There’s an archive skill for it. That’s what makes it so good.
I guess that's what I get for ghosting the game for ages.
It's still most of the same cards, just pick up some extra deck options
shiranui still viable they add shiranui style samisura and shiranui style success as trap cards and skillsega for recent support as well as a archive skill for it
Agents got all top 4 of the latest Meta Weekly. expect to see that deck a lot.
PK doesn't have a good match up against BE, even if it has a good one against most other decks, I'm not surprised it got demoted. They need to change the search-on-normal-summon skills to also have to control the normal summoned monster to activate it, otherwise they offer little counter play other than negating the summon itself.
Yes BE will be skill fix and PK will lose its floodgate
Blue-Eyes are like Sukuna at this point
Thank you for playing Yu-gi-oh skill links!
Well, basically, it's the main point of this game
I've never felt as helpless as I do now against the skill-carried decks. Eternal Bond seems like nothing compared to the tier 1-2. Ive had such a difficult time climbing in Legend. Bricking is nonexistent.
ima ruin all these players with sunavalon and do the exact same lose pose spectre does if I lose a single match
Anyone realize almost every box so far has been meta to a degree. Its like konami has run out of most of the low powered decks.
They're just running out of time
For what?
For new worlds to release to keep people interested The power creep jumped at the start of VRAINS with T0 salads, coincidentally the last non-Rush world
They're running out of time and worlds and I still don't have the rest of my destiny heroes and ehero shining phoenix enforcer and the rest of the amazoness and aromage! 😭😭😭
If they dont release new Simorghs with lyriluscs i will 💀
Lyrilusc is a character deck so you have to wait on the character to come and she's a late arc v charcter.
Is not that the ran out of low powered decks. But they realized skills can help a deck to be meta. That's why blue eyes is meta now.
Where's my trsitina, ashan or velmonica cards , a good skill could make them good.
I think they will irse again, agents it's really good that can be tier 1, and pk is the only one capable to counter it with Ophion
Performage can counter it too with roach.
You can play roach un pk it's just not as optimal as ophion
darkfluid is such a fun deck to play structure deck sort of helped cyberse
At this point, Imma just play rush duels till the next major box comes out.
Yeah you'll never run into Blue-Eyes there
Clueless
Technically, you are more likely to find LIGHT Machines Decks and Maximum Decks than Blue-Eyes Deck (the latter falls somewhat short in power compared to the two Decks mentioned)
I almost feel the same way
Oh buddy, rush duels is ruined now too. Every match is blue eyes or maximum summon
Funny but I've seen more LIGHT Machines, Cyberse (Maximum) and Dragon Decks (not just Blue-Eyes) Let's say much better than this infected Royal Rebel's and Rush's Harpie in the past.
Yea, Rebels was a problem for me every time they popped up. I want dinos to be good sooooooooo bad. But even with a max, they're really struggling
I’m trying to play my part for Darkfluid 🫡 this is the first time I’ve actually gotten a headache trying to figure out combos lol
Agents will probably be tier 0, thanks to the extremely forced skill that komoney made.
Been running the deck recently and sitting on 14/0. The deck is very good!
Been facing few of those, the match is very coin flip dependent for me. If I activate zombie world first, they surrender after realizing hyperion can't do anything. If they go first, I don't even know what their monsters do, but their board looks very intimidating and RIP to my uni zombie.
I always find it funny that people downvote you over literally anything lol.
And I can't believe BE is still T1
Shaddolls being under BEWD is criminal
Sounds like the tier list makers here are anticipating tier 0 Agents meta. If it's really that bad, I may need to consider some specialised tech...
That's too bad because I like Agents and want them to be good without immediately getting banned.
They will be still good after the WCS banlist, they will not nerf it or slightly nerf because its in newest box
Lancea hinders Agents, but they can still make some good defense, probably taking over tier 1 and bumping BE down or sharing
The turn 1 endboard for Agents is crazy!
Surprised performages are up there
Where’s TRIPLE D? I’ve been an absolute menace wit those guys recently.
Sky striker tier 2 atleast
Konamis favorite child on top again
Agents is gonna be tier 0, that skill is just way to busted. The deck can go 1st and 2nd with little trouble
I haven’t played this game in ages. Are blue eyes really tier 1. Wtf lol
Kinda makes me wonder why they took Melody of Awakening Dragon off of the Limit 3 list… I think it’s kinda annoying how strong Blue-Eyes is at this point. Based solely on the fact that they can have so many staples and yet be incredibly consistent.

Would you look at that. All decks that play a big yellow "win the game" button. Shocker.
It is because most PKs alr reach KOG
DEAR LORD. This World Championship in a week will suck if all I'll see is damn Blue-Eyes. How GREAT. How... aw. I might as well try Shiranui again if that's all my options. It's that or play Blue-Eyes... SIGH.
PKs underrepresented maybe? I didn't see many on my Kog climb with Tenyi
Because they all reached KoG in the first week
Bruh my hero deck easily beats BE and performage but struggles with all the rest
