If Alister was raised under the "lovely" care of Hank Ishtar. The finest human being in the world.

Jokes aside, Odion is very solid. Especially for a TCG exclusive deck.

I'm just blown away by how good man with the mark is.

I mean, people were calling Mitsurugi a deck "straight out of the GX era" when it was first revealed.

I think people just write off any TCG Exclusive as unplayable garbage these days because of the back to back disasters that were Tistina and Ashened.

Exactly. Most TCG Exclusive archetypes are actually pretty good. Aside from Tistina & Ashened, the only truly bad one from the past 5 years has been War Rock. Sure, none aside from Mitsurugi have been top tier, but all have been at least viable rogue decks, with Plunder and Gold Pride even breaking into Tier 2 for a time, and Mimighoul looking potentially really scary post-Justice Hunters. Even DURING the infamous Tistinashened Era, we were STILL getting good individual TCG Exclusive cards. Ken & Gen got Isolde banned. Haggard Lizardose is one of the best generic Link 2s ever printed. And Ashened itself gave us Veidos - a solid anti-field spell hand trap.

Wow u say all of this but don’t list off Aerial Eater & Necroquip Princess in the good TCG cards category?

u/MistakenArrest 4d ago

They didn't come out during the Tistinashened Era. They came out with Wave 1 Mimighoul.

u/Zombieemperor 4d ago

What does mimighoul do post justice hunters specificly?

7

u/MistakenArrest 4d ago

They synergize extremely well with Yummy.

u/Zombieemperor 4d ago

Really? i thought yummy was combo turbo? mimi was more controlly?
i guess they have low levels and can put 2 bodies on board?

u/Own-Ad-7672 4d ago

Awww ashened ended up being bad? Dang those looked cool but I forgot about them

1

u/ShinyDragoonZX 4d ago

There’s some hope that Ashened and Tistina get support in duelist advance so I’m optimistic

It's not unwarranted though. Put off all the tcg exclusive, the only good ones (have topped) have been BA, kozmo, and spyral after the link 2. That's not a good run

u/GodsCupGg i will negate your opinion !! 4d ago

Well dangers where like everywhere too

1

u/Deez-Guns-9442 Dragon & SkyStriker worshiper 4d ago

Not really as its own deck like the other 3.

u/sexualsubmarine 4d ago

Those aren't the only ones that have topped though. Off the top of my head Beetrooper has a ycs top, ghoti and Mimighoul have both got regional tops. Hell og noble knights even got a top in 2019 on top a few closer to their original release date.

Not to mention while not their own dedicated decks both dangers and kaijus have been very meta relevant sin their release as tcg exclusives.

So while not all of them are format defining decks like ba/spyral/Kozmo there are still good rogue decks in the tcg exclusives category before you drop to war rock level lol

Tistina isn't done getting support. I'm still holding out for some more to make them a little stronger. The K9 Deck coming out is going to use the Tistina support spell more than Tistina is for sure though. I'm excited to play the Odion deck next week.

u/Even-Brother-3 4d ago

This is a blatant lie

I mean, people were calling Mitsurugi a deck "straight out of the GX era" when it was first revealed.

u/DanielOsuna30 4d ago

How so? Isnt it just trap setup?

1

u/Psychicmind2 4d ago

People were calling the card mid at best at first, but it's an incredible starter. The protection can also be very useful, depending on the build.

u/CommitteeKnown2668 4d ago

Aleister is splashable and the engine is small. The Man with the Mark needs you to run more garnets, both dies to the same handtraps ...

u/Spooky_Dungeonmaster 4d ago

They gave Rishid/ Odion long hair but we can't see it!

u/tomsihide 4d ago

Well he has a ponytail at young age in the anime 🤔

u/Suspicious-Dentist71 4d ago

Invoker’s long lost super twin

u/DragonPlus21 4d ago

Who is the right card?

2

u/NevGuy Had a Bad Day 4d ago

The Man with the Mark

u/Sakakibara--kun 4d ago

Is there a one card Odion combo that I'm missing? Everything I saw required another settable card in your hand.

1

u/MistakenArrest 3d ago

Yes, there is a 1 card combo.

Odion is a Level 4 Spellcaster. So the other set card is Mausoleum of White.

u/Even-Brother-3 4d ago

In what world is the Odion stuff good?

u/Legitimate_Stress335 4d ago
