Introduction:
Hello there. My name is
. Some might remember me under my old username DanielYGO, and today I am going to present you my thoughts on the current metagame. First up, you will be able to see my Power Rankings with slight tendencies in which direction it is moving up or down, after that I will give my thoughts on the state of the metagame, and last but not least, I will explain more of the archetypes in detail.Umso' s Meta Snapshot:
The deck(s) to beat
- Melodious - (Diva and Schuberta are the cards to beat)
Lower-power counters to the best decks
- Thunder Dragon - (With Harpies gone the best Side Deck abuser is gone)
Decks that require respect but have significant issues
-
Destiny Hero - (searching Loading... and sacking might be good enough for the deck to be considered meta still)
-
Harpies - (Swallows' Nest was a huge consistency hit and now it loses to pretty much any interruption)
-
Noble Knight - (with Harpies gone, Noble Knights have one bad matchup gone)
-
Ritual Beast - (with Harpies gone, Loading... is less played and Slash can't bounce Spiritual Beast Tamer Winda)
-
T.G. - (Sam D is an FTK against Melo)
-
Yosenju - (Yosenju Kama 1 and Izna are huge in the Melo matchup)
