New Format - Tiltwings

Need to beat myself up for not thinking this muchhh earlier

3 Mecha Phantom Beast/MPB Tetherwolf
3 MPB BlackFalcon
3 MPB HamStrato
3 MPB Aerosguin
2 MPB Coltwing
1 MPB Warbluran
2 Machina Fortress
1 Machina Gearframe

3 Scramble times two
3 Scapegoat
3 Black Garden
2 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Limiter Removal
1 Book of Moon
1 Dark Hole
1 Token Sundae

3 Aerial Recharge
4 (empty slot)

This deck probably play much higher token generator than your usual MPBs

Every MPB here is a token generator with the exception being Coltwing itself and the lone Warbluran. This is mainly to support Scramble times two, which is going to bring out Coltwing most of the time. This is the most reliable way to trigger its effect, bar none.

All that you need is one of the MPB generators, Scramble, and two monsters in your opponent's field. Remember, your opponent would have a hard time to kill your card if they don't have two monsters on the field so if your opponent trying to play conservatively, it works to your advantage anyway. Also Hamstrato is just amazing with Scramble times two; the synergy between these two cards and Coltwing is too obvious.

Gearframe is searchable with Gigant X although usually Chidori is the more preferred Rank 4 and you dont usually go for Rank 4 anyway. Having more option is always nice.

While Scramble let you search for Coltwing from deck, Black Garden is here exactly for being Monster Reborn for six of your maindeck monsters. It's essentially your 4th, 5th, and 6th copies of Scramble. Something as simple Garden + Tetherwolf can easily turn into an explosive play. Even as a standalone card, it allows you to control the board and let you switch seamlessly between control or aggro state.

Little Update (Disaster)

Fairly satisfied with this so far




- Just saw Richard Clarke's build. I'm not sold on triple MST AND TWO Forbidden Lance. Such dedication in undefined meta is troubling imo. His build has a very solid matchup against Verz though.

- Clarke also didn't play Debris Dragon and Scapegoat. I did the opposite, taking full advantage of Goat with higher Tuner count. He has VERY few way to access Black Rose Dragon, which is very relevant in heavy backrow (or frontrow even) format.

- Scapegoat is really really good against IDIOTS who think 2nd turn MST against single backrow is a good play. If I open Scapegoat + multiple traps, my go to move would most likely be to just set the Scapegoat and pass.

- Dandylion is good. Lonefire is not and Spore without Lonefire is stupid, so....

- Mist Bird Clausolas is a Debris target.

Disaster Dragon

While the Rulers suffer from an inevitable fall, the Disaster stands the test of time. Again.

3 Blaster
3 Tempest
3 Redox
2 Koa'ki Meiru Drago
2 Debris Dragon
2 Masked Dragon
2 Exploder Dragon
1 Golem Dragon
1 Yamata Dragon
1 Flamvell Guard

3 Gold Sarcophagus
2 Scapegoat
2 Pot of Duality
1 Dark Hole
1 Monster Reborn
1 Heavy Storm
1 Book of Moon
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Smashing Ground

2 Mirror Force
2 Torrential Tribute
1 Vanity's Emptiness
1 Solemn Judgment
1 Solemn Warning

EDIT:  Since TCG has got a different list - definitely one of the best decision Konami has ever made - this deck would be slightly underpowered for TCG format. Basically it lose a lot of 'power card' and two Sarco getting hit especially is a real blow to the consistency provided from the toolboxing.

This is the change I would made for the time being (still under testing). Its more defensive to compensate for lesser consistency

Out:
all card that is illegal under TCG list

In:
+ 2 Maxx "C"
+ 1 Gorz the Emissary of Darkness
+ 1 Scapegoat
+ 2 Phoenix Wing Wind Blast
