What KILLED Tri-Brigade?! | Yu-Gi-Oh TCG

Published 2023-04-21
Sometimes in Yu-Gi-Oh, decks get too strong and get murdered prematurely by a banlist.
Other times they get power crept out of the meta by newer stronger releases.
On today's video, we explore what Obliterated Tri-Brigade, and what it'd need to come back!

    If you're interested in a deck list to show what Tri-Brigade could have done if Spright Elf wasn't banned, here's a link: bit.ly/3MSHKYv

    Also slight correction on Zeus: Zeus can rank up over any Xyz you control as long as any Xyz (not even one you control) battled that turn. You don't have to rank up on top of the exact Xyz monster you control that attacked.

    Little correction: Tri-brigade actually did start seeing play before Lightning Overdrive released. First off as the Bird Up variant that ended on a protected Barrier Statue with the old Lyrilusc cards. And after that as a pure variant but players simply included 3 Revolt + Trap Trick to search it in their deck which was really funny. Also free Drident!
  • I think Tribrigade could be saved with some good spells and traps. Maybe have a Spell or Trap that activates and effect when sent to the graveyard. Or a Spell that lets you link summon by returning monsters from the banished zone and GY into the deck.

    I'm so annoyed that Tri-Brigade died off. It was one of my favorite decks to get good at and I did way better than usual. I hope we get a good wave of support soon that brings the deck back into the limelight. Or maybe a new crazy engine.
  • I remember Tri being EVERYWHERE and then overnight it was just kinda gone. Artwork is very nice, I'm sure after a bit of game balancing (minus a teir 0 format) we could see them again, for better or worse.

    Then there’s me, currently on Crystal Beast Tri-Brigade at my locals. Gotta stay crystal based 🤙🏻

    Tri-brigs got outclassed by decks with better support. Bearbrumm while it allowed the deck to search Revolt (the best card in the deck IMO) had a restriction which severely limits the deck's ceiling. I think the deck needs a main deck monster similar to Martha or Circular and a better link 3 target to be competitive.

    Archetypes that circumvent the traditional way to summon will always be capable of ressusitation.
  • @Madsukihanma
    Definitely one of the most beautiful and one of my favorite archetype beside DDD and Sky Striker
  • @tq1238
    This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think Drydent at 1 is probably fine. It doesn't do too much trouble on Master Duel. So, that could maybe help Tri-Zoo come back?
  • Ah yes, the deck I went to a tournament prepared to face, only to find no one was playing it at all. So much for my side deck. (P.S.: Kit is adorable and deserves more love, regardless of how pretty he sister is.)
  • First time watching a video from you guys, gotta say I enjoyed the discussion
  • @bugbug8092
    I would say Tri-Brigade scareclaw is a very decent deck, I’ve taken it to many events and even earned an invite to euros with it, not saying it’s the greatest deck ever, just still decent, but not on its own
  • Tri-brigade holds a spot in my heart. I got my first OTS Championship in 2021 with the deck. I hope it gets a splashable engine that fits cohesively in the near future!
  • @TS0ciety
    Tbf the deck was considered to be weak even while it was the number 1 deck. It ruled over a lower power level era
  • @MansMan42069
    I hate how Shuraig's name is a botched transliteration of "Shrike".
  • I wish they would give try brigade more support after all they give so much lore to Kitt. They need another boss monster. I love Shuraig's design but 1 banish its not enough per turn.
  • @Oddf0x
    Let me cook. Deck is definitely weakened but roar makes bucephalus a legit option again AND it's been a suspicious while since our last tri type archetype. Methinks we're overdue
