Tenyi

King of Games from on January 12th, 2024

Notes & Combos

This is my second KoG with Tenyi in a row; got it much earlier than I thought I would, since I've been playing at odd hours when I'm off work. I think I've really gotten the hang of this deck. There's not much to say since Tenyi has been strong for a long time now, but I'll do a write-up anyway.

I made just a few changes from last month's Tenyi deck. First up is Nahata. Seeing as the deck is Tier 1 rn, I was expecting a lot of the mirror match, but I didn't run into a single Tenyi deck from Legend 1-5. Not sure if Nahata would be better in Side Deck tournaments (or even to be playing at all). It never came up for me during the climb. This card will probably get replaced going forward.

The tech choice is 2 Compulsory Evacuation Device. I really liked this card. It helped in every matchup, especially going first against annoying decks like Live Twin, Constellar, and Yubel. I think it's the best tech choice on ladder, but there were a lot of matchups where I really missed having hand traps (primarily Crow and/or Veiler). I'll need to experiment with ratios.

I really love this deck. I know it's Tier 1, but it feels the most fair (and least obnoxious to play against) out of all the DLM-tiered decks. With Artifact Sanctum out, though, I'm not sure how good this deck will be going forward. There's a chance we'll see more Lancea in the new meta. We'll just have to see.

If you've read this far, you're awesome. Good luck out there, Duelists.

D-Hero (I would've gotten annihilated by Veiler or Crow at the end, but thankfully my opponent wasn't playing either in their deck.) https://duellinks.konami.net/att/070b985e377696e0e9281dfc879b52f518d6a0f769

Constellar (Playing against this deck stresses me out.) https://duellinks.konami.net/att/011c1ed172e09ef98271dcce83dfe6483ca84b9909

Ancient Warrior (It's a good thing my opponent was a monkey.) https://duellinks.konami.net/att/06a376ea23acae0ee129d558a8d8fcd189a7a4e602

Constellar (Once I saw my opponent was on Constellar, I was so f*cking scared of Dweller. On the last play, I felt a delay so I knew it was Veiler. No idea why they decided not to use Veiler on Baxia; I think they were hoping I would go into Shaman and wanted to play around Vishuda, but if Shaman got stopped I wouldn't have lethal.) https://duellinks.konami.net/att/06a43f220148584bb2557059ef46d02385450e9095

Ra (How tf do you even play against this deck? These anime Skills are getting so ridiculous now.) https://duellinks.konami.net/att/069a9ea45190728b193f3ea96b63c00f51c05a380b
