Is it still Synchrons though?

What's up guys, I figured I'd post a video since I haven't in a while and provide some more Synchron or whatever it should be called action. It also most likely will be the last time you will see a Synchron tuner monster in a video for a while as we have hit a slow point with the deck in competitive use.

While it had it's amazing run of top placements leading to a short Tier 3 status on DuelLinksMeta, the deck's weaknesses have been too notable as it struggles to maintain consistency while maintaining offensive pressure in the current meta. Defense and recovery were more obvious challenges we expected and tried to solve little by little but in the recent tournaments, it has been a struggle to maintain swift OTKs all the time.

Negativity aside, I did use the deck in the WCQ which I did not take seriously unfortunately due to lack of time and got close to 30,000 points which should place me at Top 500 for NA. While it might not be a great accomplishment, I was surprised to find that the deck could still tangle with the meta and get me some sweet duels, mainly resulting in some nice OTKs.

With the unfortunate rise in usage of Treacherous Trap Hole, I decided to run two copies myself to counter Subterrors and other decks commonly putting two monsters on board. The only other notable re-addition was a single copy of Quickdraw Synchron and Junk Destroyer as the synergy with Sangan was too good to pass up. Aside from that, the core of the deck remained intact with my favorite play being an OTK utilizing Vermillion Dragon Mech and Photon Cerberus.

Anyway, just a quick set of duels from the end of my run on stream, as always provide feedback on what you want to see next and enjoy. Also, someone give me a synchro deck they want me to King of Games with this month!
