Unchained
Unchained was the most successful deck during this weekend and seems to have stabilized in terms of card ratios in the main deck. However, an increasing number of players are starting to include ‘Wailing of the Unchained Souls’ for more disruptive plays when going second and to have a different name to destroy for summoning from the deck using its second effect.
Regarding the extra deck, the second copy of D/D/D Wave High King Caesar is becoming increasingly necessary to afford the grind against mirror matches and consistently play around Nibiru, the Primal Being. Additionally, by playing “Dark Contract with the Gate,” not only does it provide an additional push to bait interruptions, but it also serves as free discard fodder for “Abominable Unchained Soul.”
When Caesar goes to the graveyard, its effect allows the addition of 1 ‘Dark Contract’ from the deck to the hand when sent to the graveyard, making this package necessary, if not indispensable, in every Unchained deck
Tearlaments
Tearlament closely follows Unchained with its highly aggressive gameplay, allowing it to break boards with its engine alone. The main deck continues to change and evolve week by week, adapting to the meta. The most commonly used flex spots currently include Nibiru, the Primal Being, and Super Polymerization. The Danger package with Unchained Soul of Shyama has replaced King of the Swamp, orienting the deck more towards Link, Xyz, Synchro plays than Fusion. This adjustment enables the deck to perform better under various interruptions, contributing to its success in topping and winning multiple events, making it the most competitive version at the moment.
Purrely
In third place, albeit by a small margin, we have Purrely, which adjusts its Flexspots based on the meta. Kashtira Fenrir, despite being a flex spot that doesn’t allow playing around Droll & Lock Bird, is a card with high disruptive potential. It enables baiting interruptions before proceeding to the main lines of play and adds a discard fodder for Purrely quick-spells. Regarding the side deck, Spellbound is the current trend due to its versatility in various problematic matchups, including Purrely mirror, Chimera Branded, and Floowndeerize.
Conclusion
In summary, Unchained remains stable with the addition of disruptive plays, Tearlaments adopts an aggressive strategy with flexible card choices, and Purrely adapts its flex spots and side deck for optimal performance. These decks showcase resilience and strategic evolution in the competitive scene.
