Is the alien deck good?

[xenogear3]

Watched a streamer play yesterday.
Seems a bad deck.

I am thinking to skip Alien and cyber dragon.
Just reset whenever I get Diva.

I cannot afford open the new box three times !

it is a good deck, but its very over hyped, also you will need to farm 2 boxes for Alien decks

I think it's a good deck, but it requires a bit more strategy/thinking than some other decks, the core idea being to distribute A-counters to your opponents monsters then either take control of them (Brainwashing Beam) or just destroy them with card effect or battle damage (after manipulating stats with the A-counter).

So it's a fun deck to use, but it take time to set up your field, so since the current meta is full of decks that basically swarm the field with high level monsters strait away )Red Eyes, Blue Eyes, Neos etc.) I can't see Aliens being very effective at the moment, even with the new cards.

Plus the new Synchro monster is good, but my concern is that it's not actually an Alien monster, so it won;t get the benefit of having the A-counters on the field, which seems a little pointless

it's a very powerful deck if built and played correctly.

It's main issue is that while it is possible to establish a field presence early if you're lucky, you practically rely on A-Counters for all your plays and the counters aren't exactly hard to remove. Ancient Gears and Subterrors just destroy this deck

only if you like play aliens.
