Deck analysis: Yew Long's gk
If u have read the sg ygo forum, u would probably know that 2 gks top the saturday locals at asia card shop. Surprisingly both made it to top 8 with a score of 3-2 perhaps highlighting the inconsistenct it has. In this post i would highlight the speciality of yew long's skill drain gks using the information i gathered in the 2 matchs we played on saturday. His gk compromises of skill drain and the malefic cyber end combo, a couple of cydras and importantly no royal tribute. Well its technically insane tech to not main royal tribute but with ur monster count being high, i dun see why we should nt do that. Of course nt to forget he has rai oh whether it mains or sides is unsure but rai oh is a gd tech in gk, necrovalley and raioh creates a little soft lock of unable to remove nor pot nor use reborn. Technically it puts agents into tough spots but a simple gantetsu can lure the raioh out. Notable that he sides dark mirror even if he plays gks. With tat being said, one would argue the effectiveness of recruiter descendant and spy but he does not run spy nor descendant, at least not when i play him. Tat frees up 5 deck space for his cyber and cyber end. 7 tools of the bandit is also notable in his deck, this card was heavily criticised for its usefulness as many ppl said tat 3 mst plus heavy storm results in 7 tools being technically useless but its worth noting that it beats trap stun and as a anti meta, it is important to negate opposing traps. Of course siding it out would be a possibility against trap scarce decks and siding in this card is not a bad tech.
In overall, in the era of metas, it is good to know that the gks continue to be one of the surviving anti metas. Especially lightlords hav seen their hands flying away against gk matchups.
However it is worth noting that to piliot an anti meta is very demanding of skills and i definitely needs to work on it more.

Deck used: Gravekeepers (Since my sabers are not done building yet)
Participants: 23
Match 1 vs Jacky (LightLord)
OXO
Game 1: I royal tribute he drop whole hand
Game 2: He 3 judgment dragon me
Game 3: I royal tribute his whole hand
Match 2 vs Jun Jie (Vahalla Agent Angel)
XOO
Game 1: Tio tricked to flush and he rush me with hyperion and monster reborn
Game 2: Royal tribute his hand
Game 3: Royal tribute him. He drop from 6 cards to 2 vahalla in hand.
Match 3 vs Yew Long (Skill Drain Gk)
OO
Game 1: Had outs to his cards. with spy and descendant slowly taking his resources out, his cards like starlight road were useless against my deck.
Game 2: My Recruiter just beat him till his life red and he drag on for a while but it was not enough.
Match 4 vs Johann (Debris Junk Dopple)
XOX
Game 1: He do his stunts and had more resources
Game 2: Royal Tribute to control
Game 3: He top tomato and make T.G librarian with bulb and ran over me and i drew nothin that could help
Match 5 vs Stark (TG Agent Angel)
XX
Game 1: He had Earth mst and trap dust shoot to deny my valley tribute combo
Game 2: Drew 2 commandant and 1 necrovalley with valley on field
Made it to top 8 still, with yew long johann alvin junjie kenneth stark and yuyao. Yew Long was very happy to make it when i told him he made it, i guess his tiebreaker of me and junjie was high enough for him......
Top 8 vs Stark (TG Agent Angel) Agreed to share with winner going up
XOO
Game 1: Once again he had earth and friends
Game 2: Mind crush plus dust shoot but he sent back rai-oh instead of aoj quarantine and quarantine had played its part.
Game 3: Obtained control with spy and quarantine, he made a small mistake of not setting venus when i had necrovalley on field 1 bottomless set, 1 destroyer on field. I top pot and took commandant and went over his 2k life.He had traegoedia in hand so not setting the venus and it cost him the win. Although u could argue its the same but i dunno if i would wack with core destroyer or commandant first.
Top 4 vs Johann (Debris Junk Dopple)
XOO
Game 1: Couldn't Remember the game
Game 2: Remember royal tributing him and he kept his cards
Game 3: Spy once again generated advantage as his own royal decree is on the field
No grudges to Johann......
Top 2 vs Yew Long ( Skill drain gk)
XOO
Game 1: I solumn his cyber and he solumn me and ran over descendant to end me as i had 400 lp
Game 2: We both keep burning each other and my spy went for a direct attack as he had empty field and less than 1000 life
Game 3: We kept exchanging blows and i reached a point where i had only 800 lifepoint, he had 1 facedown and 1200 left. i had descendant and spy in hand and i was thinking if i should go for the win but i decided to set the spy and it paid off as the facedown is actually bottomless and he drew mst which i then flip spy and call recruiter which got bottomlessed and i summoned descendant and blew away the mst which he chain on my mirror force and i went for the game.
Result: 1st and took parallel bls and stark got dark soul by finishing 5th/6th
Gravekeepers is a fun and stressful deck, a couple of changes from the showdown one and things went bettle than expected although still 3-2.........Thanks Jeremy for ur starlight road and 3 recruters, really helped a lot. Next stop Sabers? Lol tats a doubt after the dark soul ruling...
