And thankfully most of those are banned in OCG.

TCG.

I guess, I may have been a little too harsh on Noden however, I did enjoy Mr. Horse Boat with 1 IF 

 

Yeah, I figured, OCG never had to deal with a format with Wavering Eyes where UTL didn't exist. But TT is still a super fragile deck IMO

Doesn't answer it turn 1, kind of a big thing.

What about Jigabyte. That's still run TCG side isn't it?

Even so, there were cards like Lose 1 Turn and Re-Qliate.

TT only run 2 floodgate, which are Skill Drain and Vanity's. It's TURBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO for a reason, y'know.

 

Jigabyte is still run TCG-side, and do have some ability to answer Beast, but dies to Raff.

 

Also stop talking about TT, it's ridiculously off-topic.

I almost never encountered turbo. And what is it with everything needing to be "turbo"?

I have honestly never seen this been played at all in all the Pepe I have seen. In some scenarios, it is very powerful since it's a limitless Spell negation, but even if the conditions for this card's summon are not hard to get, it's still vulnerable and can be shoved away with an R4 problem-solver unless they're running hand-traps like Veiler or other presences like CDI or Rafflesia. This card being idle won't be so good but compared to other cards being used this format, it strengthens this card's effectiveness. This card I would only imagine would be truly effective is that you would wipe their Scales with something like Wavering Eyes and get this out. There is a lategame cost to this but chances are it can secure your victory in some scenarios if they can't muster enough resources to out it.

I mean most people summon Raff with the expectation of only using its effect once.

 

Oh, to shift the topic back to Beast. Just noticed that new regional results are up.

So big things:

1. Beast (and Palomuro) now is mainly sided due to rogue matchups still being aplenty due to format not stabilizing yet and as we all know it sucks against all other matchups outside of PePe. It is still completely ridiculous in that matchup and against pends in general.

2. Meliae didn't take off mainly since Eccentrick is relegated to side deck in a lot of decks, and drawing bulb is ass without twister.

3. GOSR is barely played. Almost no topping decks run it in main, and most that do run it side it at 1 or 2. Mainly since while it can out some good things, it doesn't decide matchups as much as Veiler and Maxx (which consistently appears in these tops) due to being a 1-4-1 trade with few edges against some cards, and also because it sucks T1 just like other hand traps.

4. People are shuffling between running 1-2 holes, that + Strikes and Warning, vanity spliced in, or no traps at all.

5. Psi-blocker is apparently kinda popular as a side card. Huh (admittedly it does stop a lot of things including Beast, but didn't expect it to be popular.)

 

And also, on the topic of GOSR vs Beast, my biggest issue with it is, while it gets rid of Beast and allows you to play, it's a really taxing 2 for 1 play (one spell to bait beast's effect, and GOSR vs Beast). PePe generates advantage like crazy, but this happens when they do get to play. Before that, everything in your hand counts, and plain losing 2 of them to out 1 card hurts a lot (also a big reason why Moulin is still a big pain in the ass).

That's fair Nai, but the utility of Oger tends to be fairly high in that it can

 

1) Stop Ptolo Plays

2) Stop Noden Plays (if he's still popular)

3) Stop CDI plays

4) Stop Beast Plays

5) Stop Turtle Draw Engine

6) Stop Luster/Plush Combo

7) Stop Monkeyboard

 

that's a lot of utility on one card, and it's ability to be used whenever might give it an edge over veiler. The reason why I think it's seeing less play than veiler in TCG is simply due to the price tag it has here vs it had in OCG, not as much the utility of the card.

 

The two for one play is fair with respect to Nat, but it's hardly true for the rest of the cards on the list. GOSR does have the weakness of being a hard OPT though.

 

Although by and large, I feel the problem is more with pendulums and not Nat Beast, however, with TCG not being my forte, I'll back off on this one

Doubtful. A lot of tourney players completed PePe with BOSH stuffs just one day after release (this includes the inflated hype prices). And even if they do pick this up only recently (doubtful, GOSR was really damn hyped even until now here), there should be some tops with it mained at 2 or 3.

Could be wrong then. But it's following the same trend as OCG so far. Veiler is the main card at the start of the format, Maxx slowly fades, it become veiler oger, veiler fades, traps go in, and it finally settles down at maxx and oger. Should be neat to see how much of that was due to Shock's warping or it's just a general trend with pepe. Also veiler is trash vs Kozmo. SHIV and it's Kozmo support should be the deciding factor between veiler and oger imo
