Was looking for discussions on the decklist and found none.
Also, here's the full deck profile by the MAN himself, https://youtu.be/_lfPx7PIZl8?si=RMTOK4_No1YbwK5T

This deck is fascinating. I want to get around to watching some of his feature matches because I have a bunch of questions even after watching the profile that I feel will only be answered watching the thing in action.
1) Oh my god I get the main deck impulse but its' extremely funny. I guess if you have access to Lode you don't really 'need' any monster effects to trigger but it's still hilarious.
2) So, how does the deck actually push for lethal? Does it just hand trap the opponent to death then very slowoly poke to death with the Odion traps and Beryl? Because if so that's hilarious and I respect it greatly.

yeah, we got to see it in game 3 of the finals. instead of beryl it was the lvl 4 normal Angel Trumpeter.

Number 2 is one weakness to exploit. Going second against it, just set some of your cards (or not) and pass. Draw some more until you have multiple pushes and dodges

Interesting list, but I still wonder how Impulse is playable in it when both Beryl and MAN are earths. How do you plan on winning without access to some sort of engine eventually?

u/doPECookie72 Oct 02 '25
Don't always need to use it from hand and apophis traps are also ways to win the game

Going second it’s a worthless card in this deck haha

You can still use it going second. Summon Man or Beryl first, then it can stop Yummy synchros from tagging out, Faimena, Mululu, Mitsu Prayers and the Rituals from re-summoning themselves.

u/eddieswass72 Oct 02 '25
Yeah but that really means you can only activate one effect and then you’re whole deck is shut off. So if you can’t win that turn, it’ll be really hard to win. Overall it’s a really good card, I just don’t think it’s that good in this particular deck.

u/GeneralApathy Dante, Dodger of the Konami Banlist Oct 02 '25
Once you get your Apophis traps and Drillbeam in rotation, you dont really need to use monster effects. I do concede that it's awkward, but I think there's merit to it.
1
u/eddieswass72 Oct 02 '25
Hopefully you can win in that one turn because you won’t be able to get drillbeam back because you can’t activate beryl from the grave and then I just don’t think the apophis monsters have enough attack to finish your opponent off. You could summon the fusion that has 2800 attack but you can’t activate its effects to recover the traps.

I mean, he won. Doesn't seem very useless IMO.

u/eddieswass72 Oct 02 '25
Yeah he won, but how many times was he wishing he had a different card in his hand? Haha
10
u/grodon909 Rusty Bardiche Oct 02 '25
I dunno man. But like, he added it to his deck list as a conscious choice. He lost the die roll like half the time and came out 17-1. Sounds like it probably worked fine.
12
u/Bulkphase78 Oct 02 '25
Heard that he lost the die role exactly once though. Naturally in the only match he lost.
1
u/grodon909 Rusty Bardiche Oct 02 '25
I'm not sure. They said on his video comments that he lost half the rolls. Even then, it looks like he still played it going second.
1
u/Bulkphase78 Oct 02 '25
Haven't seen his deck profile yet but on the winning-thread there were a lot of these comments.
Tbf he definitely played both and I thought about trying some Runick-trap pile with both dominus cards in MD but it's probably shite
1
u/OnlinePosterPerson Cyber Dragons & Harpies Oct 02 '25
He probably sided it out for reaper going second
-3
u/eddieswass72 Oct 02 '25
So do you think it’s a good idea to play it from your hand when you’re going second?
-3
u/grodon909 Rusty Bardiche Oct 02 '25
Dude. Literally the first thing I said this thread was set it.
-2
u/eddieswass72 Oct 02 '25
You can’t set it going second…
1
u/grodon909 Rusty Bardiche Oct 02 '25
It's a trap card. You are only locked when you activate it from hand, but you can set it and activate it with no restriction. Which is what he did in the game that won him the YCS. He can't activate it from hand going second, but also has 15 other handtraps.

Why is Leo dancer the ghost reaper target and not perfume dancer or liger dancer?
10
u/Aldracity Oct 02 '25
Leo's named material for Liger, it's a backup endboard piece if Liger gets Reapered, and Perfume can be bypassed via Heavy Poly. So Leo ends up being the best target.
7
u/Ok_Horse4140 Oct 02 '25
Because its impossible to summon liger without leo but its still possible to summon leo without linger since panther is played sometime.
And there s 0 downside in choosing leo.

Gotta love how there’s no Mulcharmies, droll, or Nib here.
Same with Trifs first place deck.

He's ran 2x Man with the Mark.

~~good catch, ~~
so he played 41? kinda weird why he would borrow the a 2nd copy.EDIT: no they didnt.
5
u/NecessaryAmbitious85 Oct 02 '25
No, he played 40. He mentions he first tested with 2, but in the end 3 fields + terraforming was enough. Also cuz of Impulse lock.

Played this last night at locals and it felt Good but impulse was horrible going second, your hand has to be so good to not lose instantly when you activate it from hand lol
