New Age Twilight Beat

Twilight Beatdown, the deck that worked so well against Zombie Synchro, earlier this format.

However, since the release of Charge of the Light Brigade in the OCG, it fell from glory, instead reverting back to Light beatdown variants.

Also, since this time, Dimensional Eatos has risen due to the release of Starlight Road, essentially rendering Icarus Attack a bad card choice, as it merely allows the opponent another chance to open Starlight Road, instead of breaking two cards.

Also, Dual Spark, Super Polymerization into Shining or The Great Tornado, all used by several decks for and against Dimensional Eatos, has put people using E. Heroes or Geminis at risk by simply playing Alius or Crusader of Endymion at whim.

To bring Twilight Beat up to date and to be used in the modern meta of Lightsworn and Dimensional Eatos (as well as Machiners but who cant beat that)

Some Card Choices:

Lack of Dark Armed Dragon and Blizzard:

Because I have opted for a Pot of Avarice, in order to gain a stronger late game, as well as overall more monsters, Blizzard becomes a little obselete, in favor of another possible Honest.

However, with Blizzard, DAD must also go, because you sacrifice a lot of graveyard control by taking out Blizzard, leading to more situations where DAD is dead, but Avarice is not.

Paladin of the Cursed Dragon was origionally meant to just steal Mezuki, but recently, due to less people using Zombies, NOT using Crusader of Endymion and Alius becomes more important that what Paladin does. Thus, its just here as a 1900 LIGHT beatstick.

The biggest strength against Dimensional Eatos is the two Prohibitions.

Whilst not looking like much, Prohibiting Starlight Road gives much more advantage than you might think.

Dimensional Eatos must hide behind its big monsters and backrow, both of which are protected by Starlight Road.

When the Road is prohibited, all your Icarus Attacks become very powerful cards, taking out dimension parts and their monsters.

Enemy Controller is primarily used as a 4th and 5th copy of Book of Moon, since many monsters nowadays have low DEF points, especially in top meta decks.

Thats all for today.
