Max's (most likely incorrect) metagame analysis

Hello cardhousians first thing's first my sincerest apologies for my neglect to my part of the blog. My internet went down went on holidays had crap to do yadayadayada but I'm back and ready to analyse the meta, WOOOOO. So first thing's first most predictions thought we'd say madolche artifact and slyvan wrecking everything. What ended up happening will be discussed in the later paragraphs with little discussions on each deck and where I think said deck is going. Also stick around because at the end of the post I will give off my banlist predictions (rather early i guess) and predictions for after the next set! Without further ado lets kick it off with possibly the best deck this format.

H.A.T this name stands for hands artifacts traptrix if you didn't know, it may be just me but the deck reminds me of firefists in the way they dominate the grind game and simplify the game state. Why is this deck going so well? In my opinion is that it rarely bricks due to its searching and almost always has a play, this deck has so many plus 1's its not even funny and there's not that much you can do game one other than otk or win in the first couple of turns. How to beat this deck? Soul drain dominates the hands and veiler and breakthrough and fiendish dominate the traptrix and the artifacts are not focussed upon enough in the deck to the point where if you protect your effect negation you will be able to push through. Pretty much effect negation for days!

Madolche my personal favourite, we originally saw this deck released in return of the duelist with magiline and mew and the field spell among other small support cards, in abyss rising we saw messengelato and other cards tachyon we saw hootcake and with all these madolche still wasnt great. Then we saw angelly and it made the deck tier 1/1.5 we have been seeing them win and top some top events. This deck is going well because it stuns and plusses with its best combo with mew and anjelly returning two cards to the deck and getting a great set up with follow up plays for days. How can i counter this deck. VEILER THE MEW OR STOP THE NORMAL SUMMON. If you can do this they don't have much they can do so stop the normal stop the deck.

Geargia is still slipping its way into the top on a consistent basis with its insane consistency and ability to drop rank 4's all duel. Geargia focusses on flipping and setting geargiarmor which leads it to get accelerator and making rank 4 plays. Add this with their consistent recycling and explosiveness and you have a duel on your hands. Why is it doing well? It has possibly the best rank 4 toolbox in the game and plusses as well as any other deck. How to combat it? Stop armor destroy armor win. Effect negation is key and also not letting it get its effect off.

Those in my opinion are the three top decks due to checking tops personal experience and research. Now we can lead on to my banlist predictions!

1. ban nothing i can think of that needs to be banned instantly
2. limit geargiaccellerator and madolche angelly
3. semi limit the hands and soul charge
4 put dmoc and relinquished to one
Thanks for listening to my most probably flawed  opinion. Have a great day and keep on dueling!

P.S Chad i need to get that angelly off you on Saturday!
