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.
