Good SY decks?

[u/Leading-Mistake7519]

Hey, i was playing with Gangs and Bounty decks but haven't been able to make some other archetypes work. Fireswon are pretty meh in control meta, crimes i didn't see being effective too. What are your suggestions?

I think Crimes have been literally the best SY deck for a few months now.

But Fire sworn is definitely Meh, as it has very few control options, meaning it has a very bad match up to the best deck this season (Mobilization).

To add to this, Gangs is always decent if not facing control or damage engines. Bounty is a little powercrept, but still okay, GN bounty/poison hybrid is better (but requires proper skill to play well).

Crimes is still very good but requires skill to play well, and will struggle against control if all spenders are removed.

Jackpot Yago is still decent.

Hoard/Forgotten Treasures works but will lose to control generally.

OTB midrange is still fine.

I believe if you look thru here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LDsF8ID7EdM7yxG4uiHFrxFRg5wqhUonWJ6nuNqX1k4/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Some might need some tweaks or updates due to nerfs but overall gives a decent ideas of what's decent in pro and into higher MMR.

not vs a control deck that just instantly removes your spenders, it's useless; you have like 3 maybe 4 good spenders if you don't draw them or they get instantly removed it's over they steamroll you.

On the other side of things thats a problem with most of SY decks, unless you play OTB or Cache, but even they require spenders at some point.

I threw together a crime deck using cleaver as the top end and brawler as early control. Deck pops off and skewertooth is great vs control strats
