The meta Post SHIV, And the impact of shiv

At this current time I believe the Top 3 decks of the format are in this order: 1.Pk fire/B.a Variants 2. Kozmo 3. Monarchs.

SHIV is a very underwhelming set in my opinion, but does bring a few very degenerate and powerful Cards the Best being Ghost reaper winter cherries. Ghost Reaper is going to change how mirror matches are played For a long time, And decks that dont Depend on the Extra deck that much are also going to get a big boost with this card. (All you have to do is put a card like Dante in your extra deck to make cherries live against burning abyss variants) Winter cherries Is a one card F*** you to Burning abyss Variants in my opinion Dropping them from number 1 to number 3 or lower. Extra deck monarchs Can also use Winter cherries in the side deck to help there troublesome match-up with B.a Variants. (I say troublesome since they cannot rely on the domain lock)

Another Plus side to SHIV is Kozmo Getting a powerful bunch of support. (Besides lion that card is garbo.) And they are also Getting a New toy to play within the form of Fire king island. Fire king island takes the Helmet deck we all know and love and turns it into a fast pace combo deck harder to pilot then mermails. The deck gets alot harder to play But its play ceiling increases Letting it make boards like a cyber dragon infinty Tincan + search Dark lady and Dark destroyer Turn 1.



With this being said I think the meta will look like this 1. kozmo 2. Monarch 3. B.a varients

4th best deck will be Ghostricks
