>>713567705checking recent lists on Masterduelmeta, it looks like I was wrong and people are still using Liquid. personally I think it's less optimal, since the deck is too behind the top meta and Liquid is a "win-more" kind of card in my eyes. the Evil HEROs added some ok cards that improve the engine's options, so instead of searching Liquid you can search Adusted Gold and go into other stuff. it's not that significant of a power boost
nowadays the best way to play the deck is, ironically, with Fiendsmith. the engine synergizes really well with the Evil HEROs, it's much more versatile and less bricky than pure. I find it specially nice in Master Duel since Verte is legal, so you can include DPE into the mix. it's not the best way to play Fiendsmith, but at least you get to play HEROs at an ok power level
