SPOILER WARNING: - - - - - - - A victory for the rocks was expected, although Zoo Draco put up a very good fight! The small edits of skipping the rock excavations is also nice to save time! Btw, that play in game 3 was cute - equipping to apollousa with union carrier to give it an extra negate

After wathing game 1 i forgot how good true draco zoo was. Ik it didnt win but for its time it was such an unbelievable deck. Going from summoning ABC dragon buster who was just a dude who keeps recycling himself to several pops and making a towers on your opponent's turn was insane.

honestly this match was decided more by the difference in non-engine power between 2017 and 2020 than the difference in engine strength between the two decks Adamancipator having access to powerful going second options like DRNM and Lightning Storm, while Zoo was relying on shit like ghost ogre, put Zoo so far behind in the boarded games

Yeah that was definitely the deciding factor of it, 2017 was a different time 🥲 Tho personally in my build when I played it, I was still maining ash blossom. It came out the same set as The true Draco cards. Didn’t have D-barrier but ash shut down a lot of decks at that time.

That ist not true. Zoodiac had extremely powerful going second cards and handtraps available: Maxx C, ash blossom, veiler, ogre, gamma, kaiju slumber, raigeki, dark hole. Its more a matter of the decks being built to beat their specific format. Ash and veiler were trash during zoo format since normal ratpier could play through both of them at once. Ogre could stop barrage and diagram and make a bigger dent into the normal zoo combo. Kaiju Zoo, the Zoo version meant to counter master peace, was playing literally 25-engine-cards in form of hand traps, kaijus and board breakers. The only card that zoo is really missing would be zeus. An zoodiac woul then just eat the whole adamancipator board by going into boarbow and an 8-mat zeus.

Lightning storm and DRNM are just huge powercreep cards. Adamancipator is probably the superior engine outside of that, but LS in particular just kills Draco. You could put everything in Draco back to full power and they would still basically scoop to it. Next matchup, we have two title candidates going at it. Should be really interesting and can go either way. Giving Unchained the slight edge because they are so floaty.

Better engine ? The zoo engine is arguably the best engine ever.. even today. Normal ratpier could today play through ash, veiler and imperm AT ONCE and still end on drident plus little knight or any rank 4. No other one-card-combo in the game can play through multiple handtraps without any additional extenders. You can also just built drident and pass, playing under droll, nib, shifter, gamma, ogre and even maxx "c". No other deck in the game has the ability basically guarantee that it will end on an interruption. And going second you can always make an 8-material zeus without activating a single monster effect. Of course all that while having 25 slots for non engine in the main deck.

@@Latias38 it got dethroned way earlier. VW with Calamity was a lot stronger. So was Tri brigade wich was considered a more fair deck. By the time Swourdsoul and Brandet became relevant they were the better decks. And the adventure combo piles were a straight upgrade from what adams could do. The whole of POTE made adams completly irrelevant with spright, tear and mathmec all being better decks. Heck even Floo is stronger in its core gameplay then the adams engine. And every relevant after POTE is also more capable in terms of consistency, non engine slots and grind game.

Don't get me wrong, I've personally argued with people on this very series that Adamancipator are miles away from being the best deck of all time. However, it was arguably the ultimate form of "make big board combo pile" kind of decks. It could make arguably the best board you could imagine with an extra deck lock, gy lock, interruption and negation, doesn't lose to Nibiru and even has soem good going second options like Analyzer, Tackle Crusader, Dragite etc. Obviously stronger decks came, but Adamancipator might still remain the best example of that style of play.

It could’ve made its presence felt again for the brief moment that Superheavy Samurai was at full power in the TCG if it still had 3 Block Dragon. But, yeah, HalqCross combos are what made the deck consistent in the TCG and Block Dragon should remain banned since it does too much on its own.
