MARCH BANLIST AND TIER

Hey guys, I'm Goay Chan Hong. I'm new to Blogger. I have been playing yugioh for a period of time and follow closely to the change of meta game. I know that my English wasn't that good and I may make some mistake in typing. As long as you understand what I'm trying to say, it's ok.Now, start our topic.

March banlist clearly show that Konami is trying to kill, or should we say slow down Lightsworns and Zombies. They are the one who being affected the most by the banlist. Blackwing were hurt a little bit too. Now the meta has open the door for other deck to compete. This may lead to the rise of Gladiator beast and other deck such as Monarch, X-Sabbers and Dragons. But there is another deck that probably rise and take the place of Lightsworn as the "big brother" of the meta game. That's Infernities. You may argue with me Infernities is just a deck that works well in theory and doesn't proven to be good. You'r wrong. Indeed, Infernities are broken. They perform OTK too often, spaming triple Trishula means game. Now, I would like to talk about my prediction on the tier of the decks in this format.

INFERNITIES
Just like Lightsworns, this deck faces the problem of consistency. Unlike Lightsworns
which normally run 24-26 monsters, Infernities run 15-17 monster which considered low number count. Drawing Mirage in the first turn may be a problem for them since there is no monster in graveyard. But when they draw the right card, they win. They just need 1 card to win with the condition that at least 1 Infernity Archfiend and another Infernity tuner in thier graveyard and probably another Infernity Necromancer. The "1 card" can be One for One, Infernity Mirage, Infernity Gun, Infernity Necromancer, and even Call of the Haunted.

status: tier 1 no doubt.

BLACKWINGS
This deck has proven to be good. Although it lose 1 Allure and 1 Whirlwind, they regain speed after the release of The Shining Darkness. They can just run 2 Blackwing Treasure to replace Allure and Whirlwind.

status: tier 1

GlADIATOR BEAST
I run this deck. This deck is the deck with the best consistency. I'm saying this because it's a fact, not because I run this deck. For anyone who runs this deck, I've to say go for standard. Prisma build and D-fissure build are crap. They just don't work. Run a single copy of Prisma is enough with cat engine. This deck will be big in this format because none one Gb's card is touched. From time to time, this deck has proven to be very consistent and can always search for an answer in different situation. Thanks to tag system. Nowsaday, more and more people complain about Gyzarus for his brokenness. Heraklinos and set a War Chariot = win. ^^

status: tier 1

These 3 decks are like "3 kingdoms" in yugioh meta and yet to determine which is stronger. I'm not going to go through decks like monarch and cyber OTK although they gain some boast. Any deck other than these 3 is tier 2 or lower.
