The Third-Rate-Podcast! for the Fourth Rate Duelist Austin Morrow & Austin Ovcarik

In this episode of the Third-Rate Podcast! For the Fourth Rate Duelist, we take a deep dive into the current format and how newly released products are going to warp the upcoming format as well as what that does for current decks and future decks to come. We discuss the upcoming January ban list and our predictions on how hard Konami is going to hit decks of the previous format, and whether or not Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer is truly as big of an issue as everyone is making it out to be.

In this episode we discuss the prevalence of floodgates and hand traps in the current meta, their effectiveness and competitiveness in the current game-state, what decks are affected, and how you can best implement those cards into your strategy. We also take a dive into format's past and check out and debate the most powerful decks of the last five years!

Note: This episode is broken into two parts due to the extensive amount covered in our hand traps and floodgates section of this episode's podcast.

In this episode we discuss some of the latest cards that have fallen or risen in price over the last few weeks with our market watch segment, taking a look at cards ranging from Nightmare Corrupter Iblee to Dark Magician of Chaos, we discuss the new Dark Magician support that recently got released in the Battle of Chaos Box, looking at new combos, strategies, and where the deck falls in terms of competitiveness in the current format. We take a deep dive in on whether Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon is starting to pose a problem in the current TCG and who's really the problem throughout the engine, while also discussing some of the top decks and ones to watch going into the September-October format and which decks among those are best suited for the upcoming meta.
