Occasionally I am going to be writing Yu-Gi-Oh! strategy “Quick Hit” columns. These will feature topics that aren’t substantive enough for an entire article but let me get my concise thoughts out about certain card interactions. This first feature is one I have had written for a while now: Blackwings and Tragoedia.
As it stands, Blackwings are definitely a tier one Yu-Gi-Oh! deck. Perhaps the most glaring weakness is that out of the other big decks, Blackwings have the worst matchup against Cat Synchro because of their vulnerability to the OTK. Dedicating slots to cards like Solemn Judgment, Icarus Attack, and Black Whirlwind along with very few face-down monsters means Blackwing decks are always one Giant Trunade or Heavy Storm away from losing.

Blackwings are another deck that is very “user friendly.” What that means is even a relative beginner can pick up a deck like Blackwings or Cat Synchro and win. Like Cat Synchro, the deck is based around using cards that stop the cards that stop you from swarming the board. Like all tier one decks, Blackwings are able to swarm while retaining card advantage. Let’s delve a bit deeper into the reasons for Blackwing dominance.

With the exception of one card, the card pool at Gencon Indy will be exactly the same at Nationals. So unless this new card is amazing and theme-stamped, the same dispersion of Blackwing, Lightsworn, Synchro Cat, and a handful of Gladiator Beast builds should dominate the metagame.
The new card is Tragoedia. It is expected to be [...]
