Premium seems like a dying format to me. It feels like Bushiroad doesn't care about Premium other than to milk 4x stride deck set sales in English. History collection limited the meta to focus on the superior stride bosses which killed a big appeal of Premium - creativity and diversity. No new ban lists. Giving accel a crest was the final straw for me. Honestly, Standard has come a long way since release and I find myself enjoying it more at this point.
@jacobjensen7704Сағат бұрын
I would love to see a yearly premium collection that included a stride, a g-guard. And 3 cards that go into the main deck (could even be V legal). I think it’s not crazy to make promos for Premium similar to how they do it with Standard. Now I have a locals to attend and get these promos, so that’s what makes me say so, people without a locals would probably hate that. But it would speed up promos for every clan. Premium locals’s prize support is not that exciting because the promos are unexciting. Beyond that, I’m fine with any Premium support just being from Standard. I actually like that Premium changes more slowly than Standard. Standard is the format that’s always fresh and dynamic. Premium is the format that’s STABLE and changes slowly. This is why Premium has felt super balanced and healthy since History Collection and Standard has gone through waves. It’s harder to balance a format that gets support every month. If you’re finding Premium stale…. Try Standard? That format is basically never old because it gets supported all the time. I ALWAYS have multiple decks I’d be excited to take to locals.

What are your thoughts on running raging form reverse? What abt the V copy? From what I've tested, I was able to spam multiple of the V reride/OG consecutively (I think my record was 4-5 swings) instead of going into reverse, which makes me confused as to why they were running it

You do play them. Currently I'm playing 2 OG Raging Form, 2 Raging Form V, and 1 Raging Fall Reverse. Usually your turn 3 is using OG Raging to go into Raging Rapt. Then turn 4 you can do the G3 Raging Forms to keep swinging on rerides.

Hey Jaime it's me again ahah. After a premium deck, I was looking for a standard budget deck to upgrade as time goes by. Among the stride decksets that came out, Shiranui, Luard, Chronojet ecc, which one do you suggest me to buy and to play immediately, like outside of the box? Also, which among of these deckset is the cheapest to upgrade in order to complete it?
@CommanderJaime9 күн бұрын
@@consulemanimedrawings2275 that also depends on what you like and prefer. I've only bought the Shiranui myself and it's not cheap to upgrade either. So that may not be the best option. You can technically play what's inside the deckset but you'll miss out on G2 cyclers and the new G2 that came out in festival booster. Plus you can't use the DE OT anymore, either Cray Elemental or Purple OT. Nightrose and Harri will release in late January for English. You could save up and look towards the future Decksets. I have no clue if building Chronojet, Messiah, or Luard is budget either. Personally, the Decksets are solid decks and usually can perform well at time of release with only what's in the deckset. But overtime you'll need to upgrade to keep up with eventual power creep.
@consulemanimedrawings227510 күн бұрын
Jaime, I was interested in both Revenger and Musk premium deckset. I know that Musk are a top 3 deck rn in premium but they were so if I had 2/3 Katrinas and the Cray elemen Cycloned and unfortunately I can't afford other copies of Katrina except the one inside the deckset, in fact I'm a budget player (max 100€ to be precise) and I need to choose between one of the two decks to start playing in premium. You said that this Revenger deckset will be meta changing but also Musketeer is really good, even though I can only afford 1 Katrina and I can't afford the 4 V "Maiden of sweet berry" : which among the two deckset would you suggest me to buy and to upgrade with a 100€ budget? Consider that the decksets already cost me 56/65 €. Thanks!
@CommanderJaime10 күн бұрын
@@consulemanimedrawings2275 that's more up to you on what you're looking to get from the experience. For example, if you want to compete and have the best chance to make Top Cut, I would lean on a COMPLETE Katrina deck. Which is most likely not under your 100€. Or if you want to have a more "COMPLETED" deck without spending too much and that's your main goal, then I would lean on Revenger. You can spend a bit more to finish any last remaining cards like a 4th Mana, a 2nd Chainrancor, etc. Should be within your 100€ range. You can still try to make Top Cut in a regional, but it'll be an uphill battle with an "incomplete" Katrina deck. So I would encourage you to reflect on what you want most currently in this season of your life. Perhaps in the future you'll be in a better position to upgrade your deck or pick up another. You can also see if you even plan to attend a regional soon and have a strong desire to make Top Cut. Once you know what you want most, then I'm sure you'll know which choice to pick. Hope it helps!

@@BlackRoseMovement4 good question. My best advice is to take a V Premium version of the build and add Premium cards to it. Like the stride Crits, Cafar Crits, Revenger or G3 heals, etc. Basically the deck can rely on Chainrancor to copy Mordred and do the same thing as it does in V Premium. Then try to experiment with other cards that can be used from the existing card pool. Cerggaon from Standard could probably also be something to explore as well. Hope that helps!
