Have just finished writing and published the Ramp Dragon Guide for Set 4, so please check that out if you are interested!
Regarding future plans on this Patreon, my current intention is to publish one major piece of content per expansion, which will generally be the deck that I am playing the most.
In addition, instead of doing a raffle for coachin...
2025-11-14 07:20:43 +0000 UTC View PostWith the release of Skybound Dragons and the buff to Liu Feng in the second half of Heirs of the Omen, Dragon is well positioned in the current metagame and a great tournament pick with few poor matchups.
In my own words, it’s a deck of low time investment, high returns. You might be able to get more out of a different deck by grinding tens or hundreds of hours, but with Ramp Dragon, yo...
2025-11-14 06:44:47 +0000 UTC View PostAdmittedly, a lot of my time has been spent grinding Take Two, but when it comes to Rotation, a deck that has fallen under the radar but has a relatively strong matchup spread is Fennie Dragon. While it was nothing more than a meme in the previous format, I consider it much stronger in Heirs of the Omen due to the addition of multiple cards that improve its consistency and survivability. It has...
2025-09-12 04:21:41 +0000 UTC View PostOver the past few weeks, I've been very unwell. Without going into details, I have only just started feeling better over the past few days. It's impacted numerous things, including time taken off my full-time job to recover, as well as my YT content creation and my ability to practice and play TCGs in general.
This weekend, I travelled to Adelaide Regionals for One Piece and finished 10th...
2025-08-17 08:24:50 +0000 UTC View PostIn my opinion, Roach Forest is one of the highest skill ceiling decks in the game that will reward you proportionally to the amount of time you put into learning it. It is a deck with few poor matchups and an essential deck to learn for tournament play. In set 2, it has a few more lopsided matchups than before (Ward Haven is a hard counter, whilst Aggro Abyss can be quite d...
2025-08-04 05:15:14 +0000 UTC View PostI've decided to write a guide on Roach Forest but as it is still under construction, I will share the list that I recommend and a few ideas for SVO.
This is the Roach list that I recommend the most for SVO. It is the easiest version to pilot in my opinion, and doubly so with my guide (which will...
2025-07-24 14:49:58 +0000 UTC View PostJust won Sydney Fusion World Regionals - back on the grind for Worlds Beyond this week.
SVO is this weekend, will try to put together one guide for a deck before the event. If there is any preference let me know, otherwise it's probably going to be Sword. Meta's still developing so I will make a judgment call based on what I feel is strong to bring for SVO meta.

Was at Smash! Convention over the weekend, helped out a friend with their stall (with that being said, I know almost nothing about Kpop) but it'd been the first time in years I'd been to an anime convention, so that was cool.

2025-07-01 10:45:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe first of what I hope are many guides, Control Haven is one of the best control decks in the game. Although it has polarised matchups across the board, it is particularly excellent against decks that lack "inevitable win conditions", that is, cards that win the late game by default such as Prince of Cocytus.
In particular, it is recommended for people that enjoy starving the opponent o...
2025-06-23 16:39:21 +0000 UTC View PostDespite buying 10x of the 10 pack bundle, I still somehow only own enough cards for Havencraft (lol).
I feel very comfortable with my current iteration of the list and feel like I have an advanced understanding of how to navigate even the deck's poorest matchups. Originally I often played for best tempo, but now that I understand the win con of all the relevant matchups, I switch around t...
2025-06-18 14:16:21 +0000 UTC View PostFor some reason, I kept pulling Haven cards so I guess I'm just a Haven player now?
Overall, this deck feels exceptionally strong vs most of the Day 1 meta. Only Runecraft is challenging, due to their ability to OTK you from 20 fairly easily. Win rate is quite high, multiple win streaks and clim...
2025-06-17 12:36:55 +0000 UTC View PostIt's not bad news, I think, but read until the end. Although this will later become public news, my Patreon subscribers will be the first to hear about this.
Since some people probably won't read until the end (though I hope you will), the tl;dr is that this Patreon will be supporting Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond instead of Shadowverse: Evolve moving forward.

2025-05-20 10:31:56 +0000 UTC View PostThis time, we went through VOD replays of 4 games of Bat Abyss.
It's good to have this type of session where the person on the other side already has a solid understanding of the game and deck, and is really just looking for second pair of eyes to provide another perspective.
Fortunately, we did pick up on better lines and plays for all 4 games. I think game 1 was a little awkward c...

2025-05-02 15:24:22 +0000 UTC View PostI remember a few weeks back saying that people don't play the objectively best decks, even in the biggest (closed-invite) tournaments of the year.
It was a prediction I made before the event even happened, but let's take a look at the deck breakdown at Worlds:
Dirt 25
Bats 19
BW Sword 9
Puppet 8
Draconic Duelist 3 2025-05-02 15:05:44 +0000 UTC View Post
Dirt Rune, also known as Earth Rite Rune, is one of the strongest decks in BP09, and remains a dominant force that even necessitated restrictions to Gingerbread House in Japan. With the World Championship on the horizon, expect the format's top two most popular decks to be Dirt Rune and Bat Abyss respectively.
To summarise, Dirt Rune is a midrange combo deck with explosively high value c...
2025-04-19 07:55:51 +0000 UTC View PostHello, today's video will be our first look at worlds format and then covering over the new cards that are relevant to the BP09 format. For the most part, this will be obviously the top 2 decks of Bats + Dirt Rune, and the secondary decks of Sword/Puppets.
Also... My opinion on the sleeper deck that might be worth considering over Bats/Dirt!
Mahjong gone? Game is dead on arrival (jk).
For the most part, I just want to share my initial impressions on what I saw:
Minigames disappearing doesn't seem great to me. Mahjong was unironically a great idea, and I think it was probably the one minigame that should have stayed at all costs (fishing/dungeons are whatever). The longer you keep people on your ecosystem, the mo...

2025-03-05 12:53:32 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the newest tier 1 decks for Alterchaotica, 2-Cost abyss is a deck carried by the particularly strong new cards Crimson Rose Queen and Alterplane Arbiter.
True to its name, a vast majority of the deck feature 2-cost spells and followers, utilising Alterplane Arbiter to clear the enemy board, replenish your hand, and bridge you to that all-powerful Crimson Rose Queen to either heal t...
2025-02-23 12:25:56 +0000 UTC View PostHello all,
We've just finished updating the website for BP08 - Alterchaotica and uploaded the tier list video. In general, it's a heavy power-creep set. Puppet Forest and 2-cost Abyss will definitely see a large amount of success at the BCS and those are the two decks I recommend the most.
On a personal front, it's been a busy couple of weeks and I've had a ridiculous streak of majo...
2025-02-08 08:46:46 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I consider the past twelve months, not only was I able to top numerous BCS/BSF events, but I also came 3rd at Dragonball Fusion World Nationals and recently made the Top 32 playoffs for One Piece Nats. This disregards my other tops (numerous store champs across all games), my other interests, and the fact that I work a 9-5 job.

Figured we are so deep into the BP07 season that it'd be more useful to give you guys the leg up for BP08 with an initial review of the cards for each class.
Yes, we do go through each of the cards in the set (some more than others), but I try to highlight the cards that I think are relevant to the meta, specifically Puppet, Disdain, and Two-Cost Abyss.<...

2024-12-31 11:00:58 +0000 UTC View PostAt this point in time, it's very clear that the best deck in the format is Natura Sword, and to be frank, I suspect the only reason it isn't more dominant is an issue of supply/price of the deck.
At the Grand Showdown, Top 32 consisted of 13 Sword players, a ridiculous 40% representation, with the grand finals being a Natura Sword affair.
Today we did two games of Natura Sword against Mono Blood. Unfortunately, due to a bug with the Sim, there's an issue where if a single player gets desynced, it is impossible to recover the connection. So as you can see in that video, game 1 was very awkward to play.
On reflection for the video, I should have increased volume of the other two people in the call, and I'm not ...
