Anti-Meta to this Meta

**Ultimate lol** 2012-01-25, 10:50

Simple question.

If Insectors and Wind-Up where the only Meta at the moment. What would you run/build as Anti-Meta?

**MrChillmatic** 2012-01-25, 10:53

Gravekeeper's.

**Ultimate lol** 2012-01-25, 11:06

What is a gravekeepers main comeback after a Hand loop first turn? Spy? If so, How far would that spy get you?
Just asking. Not saying.

Tiger King Wangu, wrecks them big time. But if you loose your hand to first turn loop than there isn't much that can be done

**kangtuji** 2012-01-25, 11:23

Macro ? Skill Drain ?

But then again...
YGO = whoever win coin toss / RPS = the winner, started since Six Sams

that doesnt even make sense...so many decks can win fine when going second

**Miror B.** 2012-01-25, 12:06

Wind-Ups loose game 2 so that's not a problem.

Inzektors die to any grave-alteration. Macro (not D-Fissure), GKs, D.D. Crow, all of these pretty much screw Inzektors unless they happen to have multiple Hornets in hand.

**Ultimate lol** 2012-01-25, 13:03

What do you suggest makes then lose game 2? A normal set-up or specific sides?

**S.S.A.** 2012-01-25, 13:08

i would make sure i had 3 veiler against wind ups, having one in your hand first turn is almost a for sure win, unless they have like, shark or something, but stranding their little guys first turn is never bad

maxx c and me dont get along, and veiler shuts it down, and leaves the low level monster stranded on the feild

They go second.

You can side your veilers/Maxxes/Crows/Neko Mane Kings

They're a 1 duel hitter and fail afterwards.

But siding can be done against any deck. They can do the same. So Anti-Meta wise this does not really count. All decks can side like this
+Anti-Meta usually wins game 1 due to the surprise factor. If you give it away duel 1 to Wind-Up they have way better chances after sides.

**HarleyThomas** 2012-01-25, 16:59

Thunder King and Doomcaliber.

Yes but Wind-Ups are much easier to side against since most of the stuff that counters them are searchable.

FTK decks just aren't reliable enough to actually top anything.

Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror

**Ultimate lol** 2012-01-25, 17:07

But they do more than only the Hand loop. They can also kick out Xyz's pretty well.

**nsanejokr** 2012-01-25, 17:18

In an actual Anti-Meta based deck, I'd say Banisher of the Radiance may be decent. If you can protect it it'll help shut down both Inzektors and Wind-Ups while also having a body to attack the opponent. That would, of course, hurt the use of Veiler and Maxx "C".

**Miror B.** 2012-01-25, 17:25

Their combo ends up with 3 1500 Xyz and 1 other Xyz. Kill the other Xyz and you've got 3 1500 beaters to worry about.

**Ultimate lol** 2012-01-25, 17:41

So what Anti-Meta main deck would give the best Duel 1 chance against both decks? Leaving siding out of the equation on the moment?

**S.S.A.** 2012-01-25, 17:45

macro, it keeps the loop from happening because rat summons from the graveyard, and imo the only good kind of hornet is a banished hornet

**HarleyThomas** 2012-01-25, 17:53

Thunder King & Doomcaliber.

Both have good attack, so even if you don't need to use their effect or can't in Doomcaliber's case you can still plow through anything.

And if it tickels your fancy they can be used for chaos fodder.

If you dont run macro then use dd crow so i think a chaos antimeta

OT deck devastation virus if u run malefic antimeta along with necrovalley

**shonenhikada** 2012-01-26, 02:40

D.D. decks are the way to go for Anti-Meta. I win almost every game I play.

Its better if u say RFG based decks and just playing macro dosent guarantee win

Now there is the idea I was thinking off. (Didn't want to say it so it wouldn't influence people)
Thoughts?

After Tele-DAD era, Chaoes era. Now we will against third era, where Inzecter and Wind-Up everywhere. all of them need special summon, Kristya anyone?

Back to the topic, i'll give u my top 5

- usual Anti-Meta (Radiance + Survivor)
- T.G Skill Drain
- Sin (Malefic) Gk
- Wanghu Garden
- Chaos Anti-meta

I like this option as well as they can regain hand without sacrificing field presence (Wind-Up loop comeback) and also trigger when effect destroyed. While also having plenty of space for traps countering the current meta.
And last but not least a no drawback 3 Skill drain main.

**RareHunter** 2012-01-26, 06:32

OT: never underestimate Inzecter player. Why? Look at my signature. there are so many variant Inzecter (i already discuss this in Inzecter Ruling)
- pure Inzektor (all Inzecter archtype)
- Insector (insect + Inzektor (along with Doom Doozer and Lire Wire))
- InzecTown (Inzecter + Gear Town)
- Winzektor (Wind-up + Inzector)
- D.D. Inzektor (Inzecter + Dim Fiss, no fear for Herald, Veiler, Maxx, etc)
- Inzecter Agent (OCG player doesnt have TGU, they substitute it)
- TGU Inzek (Inzecter + Tour Guide engine)
- Inzecter Monk Knight (Inzecter + Monk-Knight engine)
And i already play those before it was cool like now

but Wind-Up only have:
- Windzecter (Wind-up + Inzecter)
- Xyzentric (wind-up + Xyz reborn as staple)
- pure Wind-up (all wind-up archtype)

cos u ask what the Anti-meta for them, just figure out by these variant Very Happy

**Ultimate lol** 2012-01-26, 07:17

I don't underestimate them. That’s why I ask for the right Anti-Meta. And even then they are not guaranteed to win. My aim is to get a game 1 advantage against current meta (Insector, Wind-Up and to a lesser extend bunny).

What would you advise then? What Anti meta main would work best with the most (played) variants?
I think especially Skill drain will work wonders next format.

**BlackShadowX** 2012-01-26, 16:56

I have been using skill drain and necrovalley together in my sin deck along with the regular antimeta team raioh and doom knight works well but still needs testing try it out if you want.

Tried T.G skill drain didn't work too well its a trap heavy
deck dosnt do too well this format

**Ultimate lol** 2012-01-26, 16:59

Have been actually. Already even played a local with it. Just asking if someone had a similar/better idea.

**GreyZekrom** 2012-01-26, 17:03

Counter fairies with relinquished...always the best anti-meta

**RareHunter** 2012-01-26, 21:59

Ultimate lol wrote:What would you advise then? What Anti meta main would work best with the most (played) variants?

It depend what will u use against them. if u want to use Agent (i was Agent's duelist before become Inzecter's duelist), the only Agent build people should be playing now should be T.G Agents anyway. It has the burst needed to swarm and OTK inzecters.

Once people realize that all they (Inzecter) have to do is banish Damsel (Dimensional Fissure does this better), and have it accessible via Leviair, they can just spam that thing with no remorse and do OTK

**Phoenix Wright** 2012-01-26, 22:43

Gravekeepers, they lock the grave and stop hornet/wind up hand hax
