Why is everyone on Shriek dropping Demon Chain???

Looking at all the top decks now there appears to be an easily overlooked detail, that is, the dropping of Demon's Chain by many players in Japan's meta.

Other than your typical Cosmos Ragia control based decks, Demon Chain has seen a loss of play due to the emergence of Hieroglyphs. I mean, who doesn't like a DDB in their deck. Even if it IS worth $100.

Chain does pussy nuts to te tributing crap of the deck, Chain an Autums and he Chaos Exceeds. Chain a REDMD and he jus removes it for another, even Chaining the $100 Bomber still leaves you a 3000k wall to overcome.

Instead, everyone is using Rageki Break to get rid of all those pesky Inzecters. 3 Call is a problem in this case, but if the Inzecter player reslly has multiple Calls his plays would already be restricted anyways.

Also, Six Samurai have shifted to a more agressive build to combat this Hieroglyph nonsense, with 3 Dojos. Personally, I find Enishi now damn fucking imba, and 3 Dojos is just to get him out along with the Shi'en.

Laval is still doin its thing with its low trap count anyway, few even ran Demon Chain back in the day.

I considered dropping the Chainsto the sideboard, but considering the density of Inzecter players in Singapore as compared to Japan now, I feel that keeping the Chain is still a safer option, and it does help to contain the big plays that Hieroglyphs have.

  1. Considering the amount of people who have 3 atums in sg to be pretty low, fiendish chain is stil necessary against inzektors the bulk of the players piloting it

  2. Fiendish chain is still boss against against the first Inzector appearing and against big monsters. No attacking, no effect.
