Guys, is it still worth it to build shiranui deck? No, not for rank climbing just for casual pvp, so far I just played old deck like spelbook/dm or even triamid and aromages for fun
For casual its okay. But tbh Ritual Beast is better. Shiranui without backrow isnt really good. And after zexal world release they would be no more relevant. Inside the ritual beast box, there is a card called "super team buddy force unite" it would be lit for future xyz summoning.
Personally don't like xyz either. There were the reason I left also tcg after playing for many years. This new summoning method gave us stupid overpower cards and made the whole game even more otk oriented. At least koni cpuld make different 'world' tournaments whith different rules. For example 'no synchros or xyz in dm and gx world', 'no xyz in 5ds world' etc.
I think its worth it. But also get at least two Raigeki break while building the deck. Shiras have a very small core, this means after you get the core, you can go get some staples from other boxes and just put it in the deck, floodgate, Canadia, Balista squad etc., this will make you prepared for the next meta.
Exactly the reason why you should build it, its nothing without the backrows. This leads a new player in getting staple backrow than trying to build a deck with support from different boxes.
This is my current deck. Its a 100 % F2P but it's an account reset so i'm not a new player.
Shiranui Neos (I also play standard shiranui if i feel like my neos shira is failing)
3x solitaire
2x spectralsword
2x Keeper of dragon magic
2x neos Fusion
3x Balista squad
1x cosmic cyclone
1x raigeki break
1x ultimate providence
1x bad aim
1x E-Hero neos
2x Flood gate
What I did is i looked for the best deck that is from a mini box and used my dream tickets for a neos engine since im F2P. Afterwards I started opening box for only staples simply because the small core of Shiranui allowed me to use them in my current deck. I reached KOG this way.
