Phantom Knights took the biggest hit of them all, fading away the moment the Link-2 left the TCG. Sky Striker, DIS, Cyberse Eldlich, Drytron, the list goes on. It's not limited to these two either, as several Tier 2/3 to rogue decks heavily relied on DPE for their success just to "level" the playing field. Be it the coveted DPE, or the promising Mirrorjade, the Iceblade Dragon. Both Phantom Knight and Tri-Brigade were competitive TIer 2 strategies that really enjoyed the presence of Verte Anaconda. While others were rejoicing at the death of Verte, several people expressed their outrage as the glue that tied their deck together has suddenly met its fate. "How am I supposed to summon DPE/Mirrorjade now?!" "You're joking, right? Really, less than a week before Nationals?!" The Artifacts could've also taken the banhammer. They've been dominating for 3 months straight, after all. Last but not the least, both the Adventurer and Prank-Kid portion of that deck were bigger issues to address. Branded Despia easily finessed through these Adventurer Enforcer piles like nobody's business, not really minding the quick effect pop at all. It's true that DPE was a threat, but players were used to it by now. Prank-Kids had 18/32 spots at YCS Charlotte, but their numbers took a hit when YCS Bogota and YCS Guadalajara were held.Īdditionally, Artifact Scythe usage was low at the time, so Scythe locking wasn't too big on people's radars.


What about the other decks at the time? We have Adventurer DPE Prank-Kids which had steady usage even after Despia stole its thunder in May. Did you notice something about it? It was not only getting high usage to push for Tier 1 status, and it didn't even use Verte! The locks that Branded Fusion have led to that, and duelists would rather use raw Polymerization. It's key to remember that post-SDAZ, the best deck of the format was Branded Despia. Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer (DPE for short) was still relatively new to the scene and they wouldn't want to kill their best money maker, no? However, many people including me were expecting it to survive given the TCG meta. Verte's fate as banlist season hit was uncertain. "Nice prank, how about you show us the real banlist?" "What? Why did this happen? This has to be a troll list." As a disclaimer, this article is a little bit more subjective than what I usually write. Special thanks to OzoneTCG, Yugipedia, and the r/Yugioh Discord server for assisting in this article. Now then, let us dive right in and process this experience. Today we'll be looking at our Link-2 friend from an angle of both grief and loss. Whether you loved it or hated it, there's no denying that it was a well-talked-about icon for quite some time now. The ripple effects can still be felt all to this day.

If you wish to upgrade your shipment option to a priority option with international tracking (+$10 USD), the option is available upon checkout.It's been a few weeks since Predaplant Verte Anaconda has left us in the TCG. No refunds will be processed on lost international shipments. I will take and send a photo of the shipment when it leaves. By purchasing this item to be shipped to another country besides the USA, you acknowledge all responsibility of this item once it leaves my store. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS DISCLAIMER: Due to the nature of international package shipment being more expensive than my merchandise, these cards will be shipped via standard international letter mail without tracking. Standard production time is 5-7 business days, but due to COVID-19 and its hampering of my supply lines, orders can be delayed. Buyers are encouraged to keep these cards sleeved, as the surface has a slightly tacky waterproof coating for ink protection that tends to pick up fingerprints, which can be removed with a damp swab, should the surface of the card get soiled. All cards I produce have a disclaimer in the bottom left-hand corner, denoting their non-official status. The entire card face is holofoil, so it will shine over the entire surface of the card, similar to Magic: The Gathering holofoil cards. The thickness of my proxies/oricas are thinner overall compared to my competitors due to the process I use to manufacture them, so they will not feel weighted and awkward when shuffling, drawing, or playtesting. These are NOT REAL CARDS, but handmade proxies made from real cards. This listing is for an English proxy used for play testing or for a token.
