Did it this time with bystial fiendsmith, a very fun deck that can play fairly well under maxx c/fuwalos and has lots of room for non-engine (the bystials + a good amount of hand traps). Very fun deck although I did end up drawing the 1 ofs you don't really want to quite a lot (sangan and paradise).

It's that time again gamers, made it to DL Max, this time with the yearly tradition of it being the world championship qualifiers so it's extra competitive. I was at DL 18 around tuesday but was busy with other stuff wednesday and thursday so did the rest of the climb today.

Finally, the bans: gryphon and dweller are very welcome, less lingering floodgates. Link decoder might be too harsh especially with lancea still around but sure. Bahamut is a good hit to mermail/atlantean, can see why shark players are sad they chose it over toad, but sprights are pog so I'm glad.

Limits: Druiswurm is sad to see go down, especially with maliss losing some stuff, shifter is rip bozo (also might mean exo will have an alt art of it), master peace is nice to come back, detonator and bonfire are more ryzeal hits which I'm happy to see the grind game hit for detonator...

For semi-limits: 3 less ryzeal and maliss cards is w/e, consistency hits have never really felt the best way to me, then morphing jar same as cyber. Baby chaos rulers coming back for d-link is nice, ash and poplar coming back up is fine due to OSS ban. Sharvara coming back is nice for fiend decks.

Going to go through the banlist, For unlimits: cyber jar is fine unless more prediction princess cards come then maybe it's good, the dangers are back so dark world can do war crimes, eva is back so drytron can do war crimes and, monkeyboard is back for pend to do nothing (no electrumite 😔)

Here's the replay of the game that got me into DL max. made some misplays, mostly putting branded beast in the column i chose, using maxx "c" in the draw phase especially since ttt isn't seen much and, using s:p too soon might've been weird but I wanted to use it before they summoned unicorn again.

I dislike this meta, not only because the 2 best decks are combo heavy, but also the cards I would've liked in this format aren't in here. Mostly the remaining centur-ion cards, as well as main deck lacrima which would've been really helpful for this deck. Overall glad I'm done with this now.

Hit duel level max again, this time with a bystial fiendsmith handtrap deck. I did have a few iterations initially starting with the dpe package but, as i went on i valued more room both in extra and for hand traps. lots of kash near the end which this can't deal well with.

Got the full royal deck finally, although some cards like cynet mining and fossil dig don't work, there are a couple synergies like cartesia + DM for the dark magicians, having 2 lab monsters (although no great trap cards to use them with) and, everything in the extra *can* be made which is neat.

Games are pretty smooth unless hit with the roach always or by nib if you're going for the anti-tenpai line of dumping Gatchiri @Ignister with terahertz and bringing it back with Splash Mage. If you want 40 cards you can drop a veiler/imperm/ttt, although drawing multiplication or guardian sucks.

Bans:
Nightmare and jowgen are always nice to see banned, but like with how they hit scythe way after that was the problem, branded or any of its variants hasn't been doing anything for months
OSS ban is probably correct but it does suck that fire king snake eye got more affordable then got hit

Limits:
Chundra and kaimen are very big hits to tenpai, making it very undesirable to play anymore which is nice
Phantom is also a big hit to one of the other top 4 decks this ycs and hopefully means less of that deck too
Barrage to 1 probably won't do anything since drident is banned still

Semi limits:
Cyber jar is a neat card and would love to see some sort of mill or combo deck take use of it being at 2
Level 3 dangers should come back to 3 at this point but 2 is good too
Eva to 2 is probably the weirdest number it can be at, choose any other one
Monkeyboard is nice for consistency

New TCG banlist, gonna put my thoughts here. First the unlimits:
Dragon Rulers all back to 3 doesn't really matter except maybe mermail using tidal
Pank, tiger, air lifter, and ib to 3 doesn't really matter imo
Sus and opening are good for their respective archetypes but not when they're engines rly

Unfortunately not the link 1 that searches the field spell, it's a level 8 synchro that does it. Not too much else to say other than it has a similar effect to the tenyi link 4 minus the token generation. As I've mostly been talking about tenyis with swordsoul, I wonder how it will fare with ryu-ge.

As for HDC the play in swordsoul tenyi would be to save it for when mo ye/taia would be hit with imperm/veiler so you can dodge it and add shthana to still make an 8, the other play being adding protos. Making it searchable lets you cut down on it but still not being swordsoul in name is not good.

Back to the 1st effect of the field spell, if you had been hit with nibiru you could use vessel to send ashuna to add shthana/surya due to the token, and add the other to hand so you can special both for a synchro 8. This can be a very interesting play but probably not great as they can wait to nib.

Next card is a field spell that searches 2 cards that were interchangable or cut all together in swordsoul tenyi decks. going 2nd it can also tribute a wyrm to pop something of your opponents and, for the 3rd effect, while draw 2 is nice i'm not sure if the added brick would be worth for swordsoul.

It's a tuner so it won't replace shthana for the HDC play and it's not a 7 or 1 so it won't replace the main 3 tenyis. 1st effect is different than the usual tenyi special summon and is really nice. 2nd effect is neat for potential link plays if you aren't wyrm locked.

Same list since the last DC.
Changes in main you could make include: swapping the gatchiri for a 3rd imperm if you want to keep it at 40, just add the imperm for 41 or, adding the cynet conflict package that I took out.
Changes in extra could be link spider/singularity for packbit/2nd splash mage.

Got to MAX on the duelist cup with mathmech again, posting it here instead of MDM because of the worlds incident.
Harder to climb than normal since all the bystial decks are running around so probably should've went with centur-ion/d-link if i put in some practice with them beforehand.
