Runick fountain is one of those cards where I ask myself what the hell the designers were thinking. Well, to be fair, many field spells printed in the last, like 8 years made me question that.

It's only because you've seen it in action. Runick sucked in the OCG and most people thought it was just going to continue to suck until different methods were figured out to use the engine.

A strategy based on spell/traps, which unlike monsters don't stay on the field and have very limited combo potential, needs a way to recover card advantage to compete with other strategies whose plays are more monster-heavy. Runick Fountain is the same as the Labrynth effects triggered by a monster leaving the field by one's Normal trap effect.

@@andrejv.2834 These decks were very strong for a while but they have their issues. Runick hybrid decks have very little room for non-engine and since you can't just use two Runick spells as Instant Fusions consecutively, there's also a certain brick potential. At least by now, it's a lot less insane than it looks like in this video.

Zoodiacs have never been good against backrow, so this matchup was always going to be a wash. Also True Draco needs SO MUCH Tribute fodder to work, especially more non-engine Continuous Spells and Traps than a list like this allows for. It's too bad Master Peace was banned by the time Eldlich came out.

I 'll say it again like always, if True Draco is to continue in these, it needs to be pure, or a Demise build. There were a few lists that played the EDless version with MP, Dinomight, and Ignis, albeit, not a lot. Monarchs Erupt will carry it in some matches. With how strong decks are now, Draco needs the sackiness that the floodgates bring, which this version was seriously lacking.

I would've preferred that version of True Draco, or full power zoodiac. If memory serves me correctly (which it probably doesn't), this version was only played for when people anticipated pure zoodiac and helped the deck play around barrier. But again, I might be wrong. Anyways, that niche doesn't need to be fulfilled in CBC

@@ReeVoque Yeah, I really wanna see what a full power Draco list can do, and not be brought down by the Zoo engine. It was good a few years ago, but in today’s Yu-Gi-Oh!, Demise/Pure Draco is the only one that can hold its ground I believe. 3 Terraforming, 3 Demise, Master Peace, Erupt + all the floodgates? That I think can be a finals contender still. Draco Zoo? Well this year kinda showed that. True Draco is my favorite deck, and while I appreciate it being here every year, I just wish we could get to see what its true power could be.

That game three was definitely strange, it almost looked like Spright misclicked the end phase button. They had to know they couldn't survive with an empty board, they had plays that could have worked. Would they have vs the Zoo traps, probably not, but you gotta make em have it right? Other than that, pretty clean sweep. Soon as Spright went first in game one it was basically all she wrote. Master Peace never hit the field or even came close to it. If Spright didn't have the MST vs Order, things might have been different. Next matchup is pretty tough to say who wins. YOu gotta give it to the 2023 deck because 2022 was such a powercreep year...but idk, Adamancipator is pretty formidable. Edit: it looks like game three was updated haha, it's different than it was when uploaded. I guess part of it got cut?

Hey a question to anyone please Is spright carrot an omni negate? And please say why as it is written "Spell/trap card or effect" and I don't understand.
@donaldlivingston75
2 ай бұрын
It can negate spells or traps, but not monster effects. So it's not an omni-negate - omni-negates are cards that can negate all three card types, spells/traps/monster effects. For example, Baronne De Fleur is an omni-negate. Borreload Savage Dragon is an omni-negate. Appollousa is NOT an omni negate since it only negates monsters, and not spells/traps. -------------- Why as it is written "Spell/trap card or effect"? There is a difference between negating a spell/trap card and negating a spell/trap effect. When you "negate a spell card" you can only negate it when the card is activated. You cannot negate the effect of a spell card that is already face up on the field. For example, you could negate the activation of a field spell like Sangen Summoning., but you could NOT negate the effect of Sangen Summoning to search a monster, since that effect activates when it is already on the field. You could negate the activation of Zoodiac Barrage, but you could NOT negate the effect to pop a card and summon from the deck, since that effect activates when it already is face up on the field. On the other hand, when you "negate a spell card OR effect", that means you can negate it when it is activated, OR when it activates an effect while already face up on the field. So it's an added layer of versatility basically.

Zodiac almost beats pure spright last year. Also we've seen really good performances from monarchs and true king dinosaur, and let's not forget the two consecutive finals for pepe, so don't underestimate MR3 in the bottom bracket. Of course some archetypes like true draco, nekroz and infernoid have proven to be too weak in the bottom bracket. MR3 has decks optimal for both brackets, it always depends on the matchups.
