Finally finished and played Malice and it’s pretty hard to play. I think I just hate decks that are too restrictive in their playstyle, it reminds me of Snake Eyes in that sense where YOU NEED to follow the one line or your board loses a ton of interactions. I have a better time on Tears and Branded due to being more free form, but Tears is supposed to be harder than Malice so I don’t fucking get it. Maybe it’s a mental lock because of being forced into a single line, I don’t know, maybe I’m seeing too much into it.
Anyway as usual, Malice is fun to play but not as fun to play into. Not impossible to beat so there’s that.
Ryzeal has been…okay? Obviously it’s very hard whenever I want to play a deck that wants the continuous or a field spell but Tears was great into it. Lab worked a bit but I maxed on Kaiju and ball. Branded was fine. Unchained also pretty damn good going second into Ryzeal.

Sorry but no. While Jesse is also a fat bastard Jew just like Josh, he at least admitted Malice was overhated and that Ryzeal was a real fucking problematic deck.
I think only recently did Josh concede on Malice not needing to be nuked by banlist to the point it’s unplayable but 100% of the meta he complained about it even as Ryzeal was at 70% usage and winning almost every single tournament.
TCG players are dogs anyway and you feel it in the way they interact with the game anyway. It’s a job. Even worse for Americans, since to them, your hobby MUST make money. And that’s why TCG is so bad on top of the shitty banlists and refusal to admit a deck is problematic (Ryzeal). Snake Eyes was UNIRONICALLY less terrible. But at least it was not as bad as Yubel.
