Can't wait for KC cup survey I'm going to see to it that Slyvans burn on the banlist so I never have to play that 🔥ous deck again. Seriously I have had so many chain link 10 against me because of 1 damn card!! Magical Merchant rot in hell
Tech your deck with forbidden chalice. It comes in a mini box so its not super hard to get. Its a one for one card that can stop sylvan monsters...especially merchant and mushroom. Divine wrath (full box-harder to get) and forbidden graveyard (rank duels and Ishizu) are two for one (you have to discard) but they get the job done as well.
cyber angels, sea stealth, geargia, aroma, aliens all can beat sylvans. Seeing that sylvans rely so heavily on monsters with little to no backrow means you can punish them so hard, if you can't then your deck isn't gonna do well. If you can't beat sylvans you aren't gonna beat the 5 other decks I mentioned because they are harder to beat or faster then sylvans.
All those decks are really good and have their own merits but sylvan can still win against all of them and swarm the field easily if you outsmart your opponents when they think they have the upperhand. I beat all of those deck and got to Max DLV just a couple of days ago.
