Unchained


In a diverse meta, Unchained adapts by adjusting its flex spots and incorporating a higher number of hand traps. AGOV has introduced a new layer of interactions to the deck with
S:P Little Knight being highly effective against currently prevalent decks, easily summonable through Unchained Soul of Rage, even though it is a Warrior monster, for the deck, it is straightforward not to be locked into Fiends.
Super Starslayer TY-PHON – Sky Crisis excels in this deck, especially when utilized with Unchained Soul of Sharvara. This ensures the ability to break through boards with monsters that have 3000 or more attack and provides follow-up opportunities through its second effect.
With R-ACE and Unchained currently standing as top-tier meta decks, Fantastical Dragon Phantazmay proves to be an excellent side deck option. It allows for hand adjustments, enhancing versatility when going second. Additionally, it enables the search for hand traps that can disrupt the opponent’s combo.

 

Infernoble


Infernoble strategically utilizes the Diabellstar engine to deftly navigate potential threats like Nibiru and Droll & Lock Bird. The addition of S:P Little Knight, a Warrior, enhances deck versatility by serving as valuable material for summoning Isolde.
Regarded as the top choice for establishing first-turn dominance, Infernoble features potent cards like Neo Space Connector and Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin, ensuring swift victories. When adapting to a second-turn strategy, players can introduce flexible cards to efficiently counter diverse opposing boards, effectively managing disruptions.Infernoble incorporates diverse engine pieces, including Super Quantum Red Layer, to address challenges posed by S:P Little Knight.
This versatility solidifies Infernoble’s status as a metagame powerhouse, excelling in both offense and defense.

D-Link


Dragon-Link, like other top-tier decks in the current format, exhibits strategic adaptability by adjusting its flex spots and incorporating additional hand-traps.
Notably, some players have embraced the concept of including a second Branded Regained as well as a copy of Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon and the Gamma Package, enhancing the deck’s ability to secure a more substantial follow-up and protect the main combo lines. This adjustment reflects the evolving nature of Dragon-Link’s strategy to better contend with the dynamic metagame and maximize its competitive edge.
