Which Decks Should You Try with “Dimension Shifter” in Asian English Format? | Discussion Hey Duelists! ArcKnight here. As we draw a new hand for the new year in the Asian English format, the real duel begins with choosing your next best deck. With different playstyles and local meta, it's a challenge that requires serious strategy! One thing's for sure: today's decks are graveyard-reliant. From Snake Eyes to Memento and Gimmick Puppet, they all need access to the GY. In this article, we'll cover decks that can maximize Dimension Shifter. It's time to unleash your villain arc and dominate the duel! How powerful is Dimension Shifter in this format? Dimension shifter remains at three copies in the January 2025 Asian English Forbidden & Limited List. Aside from the mighty Called by the Grave getting semi-limited in Asian English, no other usual main deck staples can counter the sneaky Dimension Shifter. If your opponent's deck is allergic to banishing, you can quickly gain control of the game. Ready to dominate? Let's dive into some epic decks in Asian English that will help you unleash the full power of this game-changing hand trap. Get your game face on because it's time to banish your opponents' hopes and dreams! 1.      Floowandereeze When it comes to Dimension Shifter, the first deck that should pop into your mind is none other than Floowandereeze! This deck is a perfect match for Dimension Shifter, and here's why: it's all about those Normal Summons. That means your opponent's Maxx "C" and Mulcharmy Fuwalos aren’t going to be as helpful as they expect them to be. (Imagine the opponent using them in the standby phase only to find out you’re playing birbs.) So, if you're looking to take control of the game and leave your opponents flapping in the wind, Floowandereeze is your go-to deck Sample List: 2.      Tenpai Dragon Tenpai Dragon isn't ready to be benched even with fewer starters. But beware, brave duelist! You must be as sharp as a dragon's claw when using your limited Tenpai Dragon Chundra while Dimension Shifter is active. Pro tip: Make sure you're going for the win the turn you use Tenpai Dragon Chundra, especially when your graveyard access is denied. Timing is everything, so unleash your inner dragon and aim for victory! Sample List: 3.      Millennium Exodia Millennium is a top-tier choice for duelists who love combining classic monsters with a competitive edge. Not only can you obliterate your opponent with the unstoppable Exodia, but your combos also don't rely heavily on the Graveyard. You can turn this to your advantage and leave your opponents scrambling! So, if you're looking to dominate the duel with a mix of nostalgia and power, Millennium is your go-to deck. Sample List: 4.      Shining Sarcophagus This deck is a fantastic contender, blending classic OG monsters with powerful new abilities. It pairs perfectly with Dimension Shifter, and its straightforward playstyle can also steal games right from under your opponent's nose! So, if you're ready to harness the power of ancient legends and outplay your rivals, Shining Sarcophagus is your ticket to victory. Get ready to shine and dominate the duel! Sample List: 5.      Ghoti Why Ghoti? Imagine combining the power of the ocean with the precision of Synchro summoning. Ghoti's unique playstyle revolves around banishing cards to unleash powerful combos and dominate the duel. With each banished card, you're setting the stage for a tidal wave of victory! Sample List: 6.      Nemleria If you're looking for a deck with a simple yet cool strategy that maximizes the banishing mechanic, Nemleria is your go-to choice. This deck is a fantastic beat-down and stun option, perfect for duelists who love straightforward yet powerful gameplay. Nemleria's unique approach lets you control the game and keep your opponents on the defensive. With each banished card, you're paving the way for a stunning victory when Dreaming Nemleria wakes up. Sample List: 7.      Vanquished Soul This promising deck brings a unique strategy, allowing you to dominate the duel based on the attributes you reveal. It's like having a secret weapon up your sleeve! With each move, you're not just playing the game but controlling it. Vanquish Soul's strategy is outsmarting your opponent and turning the tide in your favor. Best of all, Dimension Shifter is a DARK monster that can complement your Vanquish Soul monster effects. Sample List: 8.      Centur-Ion This deck is a fantastic choice, especially now that it can work seamlessly with Dimension Shifter, thanks to their new support. It's like giving your deck a turbo boost! Centur-Ion's new support cards enhance its ability to banish, making it a perfect match for Dimension Shifter. You can maximize your deck's potential and outplay your opponents with strategic banishing moves. It's all about timing and precision, and Centur-Ion delivers both in spades! Sample List: Summary Choosing your next best deck is an adventure! It's all about finding the perfect fit for your playstyle, local meta, and budget. Playing a deck capable of mining or siding Dimension Shifter in this ever-changing environment can give you a significant edge. It's like having a secret weapon ready to turn the tide of any duel! Keep an eye out for Maliss! This deck is another incredible choice, and it will be arriving soon in the Deck Build Pack: Crossover Breakers in Asian English. With its unique strategies and powerful cards, Maliss will shake things up and offer exciting new possibilities. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun! No matter what deck you choose, always remember the core reason you're playing: to enjoy the game. Embrace the thrill of the duel, the joy of strategic plays, and the camaraderie with fellow duelists. This has been ArcKnight of RespectYGO. Thanks for reading until the end. Keep dueling, keep smiling, and may your draws always be in your favor! 

[RespectYGO] Top 10 Must-Try Yu-Gi-Oh! Decks in Asian English for 2025 – Post-Banlist Edition! | Discussion Hey Duelists! ArcKnight here. The first Asian English Forbidden and Limited List Update, effective January 1, 2025, is out! While it hit many of 2024's top decks, it also gives new decks a chance to shine. Choosing your next deck in the AE Format might be tough, especially after playing in a full-powered meta. But don't worry, I've got you covered! Let's dive into the top 10 decks to try post-January 2025 AE Banlist. Let’s go! January 2025 AE Forbidden and Limited List Recap Before we proceed, let’s review the newest forbidden and limited list for Asian English. Forbidden No changes. Limited: Diabellestarr the Black Witch Snake-Eyes Ash Snake-Eyes Poplar Tenpai Dragon Chundra Crossout Designator Foolish Burial Harpie’s Feather Duster Monster Reborn Kaiser Colosseum Reinforcement of the Army Runick Fountain Sangen Summoning Terraforming WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils Skill Drain Summon Limit   Semi Limited:   Bonfire Called by the Grave One for One Pot of Desires Pot of Extravagance Pot of Prosperity Purrely Sleepy Memory Red Reboot   Unlimited:   No changes   For the full list, please refer to the Official Website.   What are the must-try decks post-January AE banlist? For those curious, Asian English (AE) is a unique format played in OCG territories outside Japan and Korea. It uses cards marked with "-AE" in their set codes and English text. The AE format has a limited card pool, which explains some of the choices in the list. AE cards are versatile and can also be used in OCG tournaments. While the forbidden section stayed the same, this list hit popular strategies like Tenpai Dragon, Snake-Eyes, and Runick. It also limited staple cards like Terraforming, Reinforcement of the Army, Skill Drain, and Crossout Designator, similar to the current OCG List. With fewer ways to counter popular hand traps like Maxx "C", Mucharmy Fuwalos, and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, the gameplay of most decks will change drastically. Here are 10 decks that you can explore in the new AE format. Note that these selections are only based on my personal observation and may change depending on the environment. Rescue Ace Rescue Ace is a top pick with EMERGENCY! and Rescue Ace Air Lifter still at 3 copies. You can tech the Diabellestarr engine and bridge to your Rescue Ace Hydrant using the new Azamina engine from RAGE OF THE ABYSS. With only 1 Harpie’s Feather Duster next year, board wipes are less of a threat. Just watch out for Evenly Matched! 😉 Yubel Yubel is another top contender for next year. Even with only 1 Terraforming post-banlist, you still have 3 copies of Phantom of Yubel. Plus, with SELECTION 5 – QUARTER CENTURY EDITION, you can boost your end board with Muckracker of the Underworld and Knightmare Gryphon. Get ready to dominate!  Memento Memento is another fantastic choice with its consistency and power. The deck excels at countering targeting effects with its quick-play cards. Just watch out for Dimension Shifter, as it's still at 3. Gimmick Puppet Ready to be their guest? Meet the Gimmick Puppet theme, specializing in FTK (First-Turn Kill)! The core strategy is to inflict effect damage until your opponent hits 0 on your first turn. Aside from Terraforming, the core strategy is untouched. Plus, you can maximize the Horus engine for extra bait. Like Memento, just pray you don't face Dimension Shifter! Voiceless Voice Voiceless Voice is another solid choice with its straightforward plays and versatility against common hand traps. If you don’t like a deck that can be stopped by Maxx “C”, and Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Voiceless Voice can be your best bet. Protect Lo at all costs! Snake-Eye Fire King Yes, the deck is very much alive with fewer Snake-Eyes in the year of the Snake (2025). Fire King High Avatar Kirin is still at 3 copies and the deck can still land on explosive plays. The Snake-Eye and Diabellestarr can still be used as an engine to bridge your Fire King plays. Chimera Here's another deck to try that can maximize the new Azamina and Horus to speed things up. This deck is consistent and versatile, perfect for countering your opponent's plays. Plus, you can easily access floodgates like Diabellze the Original Sin or King Tiger Wanghu. Fiendsmith Pure Fiendsmith decks are becoming a thing lately because all you need is at least one LIGHT Fiend monster to get things going (and add 365354947 hand traps). With the introduction of Primite from RAGE OF THE ABYSS, you can use it to bridge to White Duston and access your core plays. Magical Musket is also a great deck to combine with Fiendsmith. Salamangreat Salamangreat is a safe bet with its consistency and solid endboard. It boasts plenty of one-card combos that can lead to powerful plays. Just watch out for the rock, as you have fewer Kaiser Colosseums to play this time. Get ready to blaze through the competition! Labyrinth If you’re looking for a control deck, Labrynth is a great choice. The deck has access to powerful normal trap cards that exist in Asian English, and you still have 3 Big Welcome Labyrinth in AE format.   Summary: Asian English is finally catching up to the OCG format, and with decks like Ryzeal and Maliss arriving next year, the competition is heating up! I'm excited to explore new decks and see how they fare in the next meta. Be sure to test and familiarize yourself with your deck before your next tournament, and always remember to have fun playing.
