What does "Valmonica" need to become Meta? | Future Support Discussion

Heya~ Arcknight here! I was reviewing some of the new themes that came out recently and I came across one of the most interesting themes I still couldn't figure: that is "Valmonica". I figure that I need to tackle this archetype and I always wonder, what kind of support will it get that can maximize its potential?

"Let's Talk About Purrely!" - Post June TCG 2023 Banlist Analysis

Hey RespectYGOers! I'm back from writing and this time, I'll talk about one of the top contenders of this format - Purrely. For those who don't know, I also played Purrely competitively in OCG post CYBERSTORM ACCESS and its playstyle interests me at some point so I figured to share my insights. :)

As we know, Purrely received a huge consistency boost in CYBERSTORM ACCESS in the form of Purrelyly and Purrely Sleepy Memory. These cards gave them an easy access to one of their key searchers called My Friend Purrely which leads to a guaranteed Purrely Delicious Memory by revealing three copies from your deck. This Spell Card is important in bringing out Epurrely Plump which eventually can allow easy access to their ace card Expurrely Noir.
