The Kase for Krawler: A Defense of Monsters in Defense
August 22nd 2018
It’s hard to find diversity in Yu-Gi-Oh playstyles. For the past few years, every format has featured one of two different deck types: an incredibly synergistic control deck that can whip up advantage out of nothing and a super-powerful feast-or-famine board building strategy that aims to win the game on its first turn. There isn’t a suitable deck for GOAT-era veterans who prefer a “death by 1000 cuts” style of gameplay. There’s nothing for players who appreciate games playing out differently every match. Worst of all, there aren’t options for anime fans who want to practice their mid-turn banter.

TCG Meta Snapshot: Trickstar Variants June 2018
June 10th 2018
After a breakout performance at YCS Secaucus, Sky Striker Trickstar is poised to take the metagame by storm. Sky Striker Trickstar improves upon the Trickstar core by playing startup spells instead of trap cards. Electing to begin turns with Sky Striker Mecha – Hornet Drones and Sky Striker Mobilize – Engage!, this deck is horrifyingly consistent and incredibly powerful.

TCG Meta Snapshot: Mekk-Knight Invoked April 2018
April 11th 2018
Invoked Mekk-Knight is the logical conclusion of decks going second. Engineered from the ground-up to lose the die roll, this handtrap-heavy strategy rewards efficient, cautious gameplay. By taking advantage of the Invoked fusions’ flexible material, the deck can turn a poorly-placed Ghost Ogre or a mismatched Master Peace into material for Mechabah. The Mekk-Knights, a suite of powerful beaters, add OTK potential to this otherwise reactive strategy.

TCG Meta Snapshot: Gem-Knight FTK April 2018
April 3rd 2018
What can possibly be said about Gem-Knight FTK other than a long, deep sigh and a reluctant “game 2?”
While first-turn-kill strategies are usually incredibly fragile, die-roll reliant, and lack a competent backup plan, Gem-Knight FTK is different. It is redundant, has reliable “plan B’s,” and has comparable win-rates going first or second.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links Meta tierlist for Febuary 7th 2018. Any and all data used to determine each deck’s placement is a result of discussions between myself and other players, reported KoG lists, published tournament victories, and, in extreme cases, some degree of speculation.

Duel Links Meta Snapshot: January 17th, 2018
January 18th 2018
A few months ago, I wrote an article on getting started in Duel Links. The article, now embarrassingly outdated, provided a clear path towards Duel Links’ ranked mode. However, when looking back, I realized I had neglected to give readers an adequate understanding of the current ranked climb. Because of this, I’ll be writing a series of tier lists which explain what the top decks are and what they do. This first list includes what I believe are the current top performers, though that’s subject to change with the impending banlist.
