Let’s Build Description:

Welcome back for another Let’s Build video – hopefully a welcomed return to the format. Note: You should check out my two videos on Engines and Engines Part II as well, deep diving into some of the ones appearing here. This content is longform, as it includes walking through each card in a deckbuild in detail for a certain theme, explaining their purpose along the way, then resulting in a fully built strategy showcased in a handful of replays. As this is different than most of my videos, please let me know if you’d like to see more of these ‘Let’s Build!’ videos, and if you would, which archetype(s) would you like to see featured.

If you’re not interested in my reasoning for specific cards or engines, feel free to skip to the test duels at the end – these model a similar approach to most of my other profiles.

Note: As of recording, some TCG names were not fully confirmed, so I was using the previous YGOrg translated names.
