They haven't been seeing tops at major events just yet, but there's likely a few running around. Eldlich is 0 points, for instance. As is Balerdrach, Zombie World, Necroworld Banshee, Mezuki, Uni-Zombie, and a lot of other cards.

There are some cards that do eat significant cost, though. Terraforming's a 33 point card per copy, as is Foolish Burial, and if you are playing a deck with The Zombie Vampire that guy's a 50 point card. All other floodgate options are functionally all at 100 points apiece, so you can't leverage those for any of the older Eldlich stun lists or the like. And of course, Link monsters are also banned which prevents you from having easy ways to get cards into the graveyard, as well as losing out on some support.

Also relevantly, the functional "gatekeeper" deck of the format is Radiant Typhoon. The deck consistently fails to overall win events, but it does frequently take 1-2 places in Top 8. As it is based around Mystical Space Typhoon, any Zombie World builds will be vulnerable to it.

Is the punk shit too taxed in that format? Because a few years back i remember trying to make the deck work, and ze amin/e-tele bridged both halves. They've lost a shit ton of endboard pieces (namely baronne, borrelsavage and beatrice), but there's still that one swordshit synchro and their own boss monsters ie the red-eyes synchros.

P.U.N.K managed to grab two of the slots of the Phillidelphia Invitational tournament. While the player count seems low, that's because Genesys Invitational tournaments are formed from the top 2 players of various 16 person single-elimination side events.

Whats the purpose of this card? Is it just to occupy space on the opponents board?


I know there's a turn 1 kill combo that involves using it, but im asking aside from that.
>>
>>96959602
PUNK is quite well-off since Foxy Tune is the only thing in their native kit that's been touched (5pt). Most people I've seen will run it with a generic Psychic pile since E-Tele is searchable and Psychic piles have gotten some pretty good shit over the years. Mind Procedure puts E-Tele in your hand and Psychic Blaster MKII is a good PUNK target that can act as removal and put a little bit of gas(LP) back in your tank for you to continue firing off.

If you wanna mix it with Zombies, then you could run it with Chaos Ruler since he's only 50pt in Genesys, but I don't know how the rest of the deck would look (most PUNK Genesys decks don't run him since the rest of the psychic pile does enough heavy lifting on its own).
>>
>>96959665
It's basically just a worse version of Ojama Trio, yes. Jack Atlas used it in the anime where its effect was 100% identical, but since they only have 4000 LP in the anime it would be used to burn for over half his opponent's LP.
>>
>>96959645
>>96959666
My list is very outdated (i know zombies, punk and psychics have gotten new support, but i don't really care about any of them anymore), but basically you field ze amin and search foxy tune with it, and use that to get deer note on the field as well. You synchro into their only LV8 and search psychic tracker, then revive ze amin. Tracker is level 3 so you can synchro into immortal dragon, who will foolish ghost sleeper, who searches ghost fusion. You then fuse garura using immortal and spiridao from deck, then banish sleeper to summon spiridao, who can foolish another zombie.

However i don't know where the line goes after this, because the next thing you did was xyz summon beatrice to dump another zombie/krystia. And then you synchro summoned baronne and a few other monsters that are now banned.
>>
>>96959692
It does more damage than ojama trio to opponents when they die. But it's harder to activate, the tokens are stronger, and they can be tributed.

Doesn't them being able to be tributed makes it significantly weaker than ojama trio?

It's not just the tokens themselves, but also their kits. Nightmare Archfiend doesn't really contribute towards anything meaningful while Ojama Duo and Trio both have precedence with lockdown strategies and also contribute towards their native kit's gameplan of locking down your opponent's main monster zones. The Ojama traps have a place in the game while Nightmare Archfiend only has a place in the anime and a niche OTK strat.

lots of starters that double as extenders

you don't mind getting handtrapped because triple TTT means you can draw into more starters/extenders or set a blowout card like dimensional barrier/anti spell fragrance (lol RIP)

any 2 bodies equals dancepione, which can let you go full combo anyway because jasmine tributes literally anything to bring out any plant

ragnaraika and primite are way too good for this deck, one is full combo just with a discard, the other can be a targeted negate + banish on top of e-teleing your best starter (a fucking vanilla level 1)

Because yugioh just has better porn potential. They make the characters generally more appealing. Not to mention half the sets MTG is making now are already existing IPs so they make less characters.

Using >>96961727 as a test and 10 seconds of searching on e621 gives about 3.1k results for YGO and 2.6k for MTG.
To better compare apples to apples, lets use some dragons.
Blue eyes has 190 hits, red eyes has 62.

>>
>>96961592
Character design like >>96961727 is ranting about has nothing to do with it.

Storytelling method is the issue. Magic strongly tied the stories they tell to the sets they release, which means they have to tell a full story in at best a year, while simultaneously needing to introduce a full planet, and that was before they reduced the size of their blocks. Their villains lose impact from how fast they go down, so overcoming them doesn't feel as hard which weakens the protagonists.

Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't have its stories tied to specific sets. Whether you are talking about the anime or card stories like Branded, stuff has a lot more time to just play out, so its easier to get attached and thereby make stuff.

Set rotation in Magic but not in Yu-Gi-Oh compounds this issue. Even if Commander has become the big format and there's various eternal formats for Magic, it does put a hard ticking clock in people's minds for how long something will be relevant for. Meanwhile, Yu-Gi-Oh decks do fall out of meta, but can be rogue viable for a really long time if you keep working on ways to update the deck, even before factoring in synergistic cards or legacy support. Thus promoting a willingness to get attached to a deck.

So is it because yugioh was more focused on the story? Whereas MtG kinda treats it as an afterthought?
>>
>>96967335
I don't think it's about focusing on the story, I think it's about focusing on the characters. Magic has a tendency for their creatures to be "a thing", as in a generic version or archetypal member of a species, group, or organization. Meanwhile, yugioh cards are typically framed as "THE thing", an exemplary or singular individual. Monsters are given a focus in being characters in their own right, which is enforced by the anime, where they literally appear as characters, and decks follow a pseudo-highlander style where seeing copies of a card is a notable exception, not the assumed default. There's also the meta-story, where in Magic you're playing a representation of a wizard duel pulling out memories of where you've been, giving a layer of obfuscation and fakeness to the depictions in the cards, but in Yugioh, the card game is about a card game with cards that are individuals. It's all direct
>>
>>96967633
>Magic has a tendency for their creatures to be "a thing", as in a generic version or archetypal member of a species, group, or organization
I don't know about that one, chief. Maybe once upon a time that was true but ever since the shitstain advent of commander there's been an obvious blight tendency for every Tom, Dick, and Harry to be LEGENDARY super speshul one-of-a-kind creatures.
>>
>>96967335
Partly. I can think of something else that's big that affects things. Availability.

Now Konami isn't the best on the availability side due to all the Japanese only releases of stuff like the Valuable Collection EX. But on the flip side, the Anime is really easy to come across, and in both cases, it is still pretty clear where you want to start.

Magic? It's a lot harder to know where to start, and its story is split across books that can be hard to get a copy of for the older sets, and the newer sets are released across comics and a web novel.

Combined with this, Yu-Gi-Oh wikis are maintained by lunatics who can track down a ton of info with step-by-step replays of all the duels if you go to an episode. Magic suffers a bit on this front. Like, if you look at the fandom page for Jace and compare it to Yusei, you'll see that the section used for describing Jace's appearance and personality (~380 words) is roughly equal in size to Yusei's appearance (~320 words).

And even with Wizards having communication far more open, you can generally see more information on card art for Yu-Gi-Oh cards than you'll get for a lot of Magic cards. Like, if you look at this card trivia:
https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Card_Trivia:The_Spiritual_Lord
You get a lot of commentary on the artwork of a card that is purely a video game exclusive, while a lot of magic cards just link to Scryfall where there's none of that.

Archetypes may also be another saving grace on this front. Regardless of how you feel about them from a game design perspective, even bad archetypes like Tistina have sections on Etymology and Card Art design that includes stuff like "The name "Tistina" comes from the Baptistina family of asteroids, one such asteroid speculated to have been the asteroid that caused the mass extinction of all non-avian dinosaurs on Earth." Even with nothing else, the theming alone can pulls you in more than a set of random goblins.
>>
>>96967774
Now that's not to say that Magic has nothing to draw people in. But it is far more foused on different combinations of their Color Pie, not the individual cards or a series of cards unless it is some very specific forces. Those few like the Slivers or Eldrazi tend to feel like they have a bit more staying power that manages to ascend above just being the faction of a particular color combination, often of just singular planes and only referenced further on if they were the first with a specific color pie identity.

I'll admit I'm basing this off of an experience with Magic several years old now, but the legacy is an important part. This kind of idea of what a card game is has a long momentum, and the point is Yugioh went in that direction from the start and kept going, while Magic didn't and is now starting to pivot more towards that.
>>
>>96967335
i wonder if I just made that post to share that fanart i found.
>>
>>96967798
(3/3)
And in regards to the "LEGENDARY super speshul one-of-a-kind creatures" that >>96967663 brought up that Magic has been adding in, they do come about and this has resulted in more general generics slowing down a bit from what I've heard. But on the flip side, those character tend to be in the realm of "Color Pie Legendary for X plane" with maybe an association of there being an association with a certain gameplay mechanic.

They may end up depicted on several cards and even get a bit of spotlight, but once the story moves to another plane, you are generally going to lose them. Even Planeswalkers and the new Omenpaths don't leave people immune to this, because you generally won't see them again unless you go back to their plane again, or have something associated with their plane.

Thus, even if they have the Legendary tag, when their plane is gone, they turn into just generics. Because their identity is not of themselves unless they make it to the ranks of the ensemble cast and can get a bunch more character cards. They just become slightly higher power staples for a particular chunk of the Color Pie, if they aren't too weak compared to the others.
>>
I wonder what cards (or characters in a more general sense) would be like if you brought them across games.

>>96968077
Makes sense. That would also explain why the sudden inclusion of crossover sets felt about as fluid as gravel down your throat.

Did a little research and she's apparently based on some Japanese folktale about a servant who accidentally broke her master's fine china while trying to protect it from a cat who smelled fish because her master is a rancid scrooge who doesn't like to share.
She got her middle finger cut off for breaking the dish, was locked in a room for 15 days to starve, escaped somehow, then died while running away and haunted an old well where the voice of someone counting dishes could be heard.
She was described as 壮い and 美しい in the story.

TL;DR maybe is a loli

There's also some sort of rakugo parody of it.

iirc the original story is about a beautiful young slave who didn't want to become the personal onahole of her lord, so he hid one of his finest plates and blamed the poor girl, who assured him she had washed them carefully and put them back in their place
she counted the plates many, many times and always came up one short (thus why the card also has you count to 10)
the lord once again offered to overlook this if she became his consort, she refused again
he killed her and threw her body in a well
she came back to haunt him until he went mad and killed himself

>>96969227
There's no point in arguing with a disingenuous retard, but just in case you're not baiting, the game is indeed in the gutter because konami won't actually properly balance it, they just want to see people buy the latest deck. Mind you that this is exactly what the OCG/TCG does, but the issue here is that lately they've shown an obvious bias for certain decks.

Snake-eye lasted nearly two years at the top, and every time they were forced to hit it they just happened to introduce more tools that would help it stay in tier 1 (fire king, r-ace, fiendsmith, azamina) in the very next pack.

Its immediate rival tenpai was pre-hit (snake-eyes wasn't), and was immediately made useless after its selection pack expired.

Maliss got introduced to the game completely untouched, moreover it actually had MORE tools available here than it ever did in either paper format, namely 2 gold sarc and apollousa. Ignister was also released in the very next selection pack after it, so the deck remained at full power for nearly 4 months.

Ryzeal was pre-hit, didn't get all of its support right away, and only enjoyed 2 weeks with its best engine (mitsurugi) before it got gutted. Hell, it only got its last and probably most important tool RIGHT after the banlist that more or less killed it.


Now, what is the difference between snake-eye and tenpai/maliss and ryzeal? One is full of anime girls, the other is all conventionally cool (actual) monsters. Digital pussy pass. They are LITERALLY thinking with their dicks when it comes to balancing the game.
>>

The format is many months behind the OCG/TCG. I play months of the card pool digitally on EDO, I play months of it in paper, and only then does MD get it. If I have any issues with that then I have to pray and hope that konami resolves it quickly but they often don't for various reasons be it incompetency, profit motive, or because it's too new to MD. I don't want to play that exact same format any longer if it has issues. The TCG has likely already released a slap on the wrist hit to those issues by the time it drops in MD so there's not much of a reason to play it on MD.
The UR counts are getting ridiculous. It is getting to the point where event gems are not sufficent to continue playing the game. The UR dust demand has outpaced the avg expected return from finishing events to make up enough of that dust to build more decks in the future. Worst of all it's creeping into glorp shitto decks too that can't hold up in the meta so you're actively discouraged from pulling/crafting those for-fun decks now.
I can throw money at the game to make up that need but for the same amount of money or less I can build the deck in paper. Even if the deck is ass and loses all the time, at least I actually own it.
Cards are never really reprinted and are fixed in rarity. You can't wait for a megatin or reprint to drop the cost. Once a UR, it will always cost that.
There is one way to play the game most of the time and many events feel the same as ranked. Often because the events are designed to shill the new decks and one of them just so happens to be meta.

If you're exclusively playing MD then I guess a lot of this doesn't matter or doesn't make sense to you.
Is that wall of text sufficent?

>>96969227
There's several I've seen.

Higher ranks devolve into mono-deck formats a lot of the time due to the banlist on multiple occasions having cards banned in both the OCG and TCG being left free. This was an issue from the start with stuff like True King of All Calamities being legal from the start.

Said launch format was so bad and the banlists taking several months with only minor hits early on probably killed a ton of potential by driving away players.

Card releases are also so far behind the OCG and TCG that the formats feel stale by the time they start.

The tutorial system is generally inadequate to prepare people for Ranked, especially as people with higher power decks slowly slipped to lower ranks from low interest in grinding to max. Game can be amazing, but this makes a painful barrier to entry.

"Casual" is just ranked but with no ranking and no rewards as you can't complete missions there.

Solo modes are pretty underdeveloped for the speed they are released at.

Several of the more interesting alt formats only last like 3 days, and even then longer ones don't last long.

Most importantly, what you have the options to do now is not too different than the options you had at launch. There's a bit more customization options, the highest rank gives ELO ladder access, and a few more solo games, but that's really it.

Personally, I wish they would expand the Duel Rooms feature so you can fuck with a ton of the games rules like number of cards drawn per turn and allowing you to make fully custom banlists - and do stuff like the Skull Invitation events to preset cards on field or in-hand. Then create a Browser that they can be made public with so people can find these rooms rather than being invite only. Even better, make it so rather than just the Tables, you can enable an automatic bracket so you can run tournaments in-client rather than needing external Discord infrastructure.

This isn't impossible stuff, it's been done on fan clients already.

It doesn't really feel like it helps the core of the deck in a way that matters to the archetype and it's just easier to go into general XYZ gameplans. So I guess if you don't care what form the deck takes it's good but if you want Springans then you'll be a little underwhealmed. It's just become an XYZ pile and there's better options in utopic.
Kind of disappointed with how the deck evolved over time personally. I'd rather the deck have been shit but flavorful than reduced to an engine to make generics is all.
>>
>>96969864
You really only got to summon from ED once to the EMZ (extra monster zone) if you didn't have a link monster.
Some context. Many decks got an apology link 2/3 during that period if they needed to make multiple ED guys like needing a synchro tuner + synchro monster or needing 2 fusion monsters to fuse into a big guy. But it really wasn't enough towards playerbase infered theory or to help those decks preform as they once did if they existed before the change.
It was in theory a way to limit how hard decks could go because they needed to make a link monster first but it actually resulted in people having to go in harder in order to solve that link monster issue first and then actually play.
I think Konami recognized that it wasn't working out so they just kind of scrapped it.
No idea why pends are still held back by it though, not a single pend deck today has teeth and being able to summon maybe 3 guys at the cost of 2 semi specific cards is generally terrible card economy. Just about every deck that isn't pend can already do this without breaking a sweat.
Pro tip: pends are not the boogeyman reddit and mega casuals might have you believe. Hell they don't even make real pend decks anymore, they're usually just used as glorified optional cont. spells in an otherwise not pend deck. And the last time a true pend deck was in the meta about 7(?) years ago.

>The tutorial system is generally inadequate to prepare people for Ranked
It literally took me a month of watching youtubers and lore videos to understand the current state of the game. For reference I returned this summer after haven't playing since late 00s. It ain't rocket science and I don't think catering to casuals or Yugiboomers will fix anything, it will make it worse actually. These people are just lazy and won't learn anyway or just want to relive some anime influenced nostalgia and never actually played the game as it was meant to be played anyway.

>The UR counts are getting ridiculous. It is getting to the point where event gems are not sufficent to continue playing the game. The UR dust demand has outpaced the avg expected return
I literally crafted a Master lv deck with the initial 10k you get from the tutorial, but I already knew what I wanted to play and was ready for the grind game... MD doesn't hold your had but it is sufficient for f2p if you know what you are doing. And I am not talking about some garbage it had 20 URs not from Special packs in there, you can do even better with less.

I agree on the point that there ain't much to do outside of climbing the ladder, would be cool if we get more story gates; this is what I actually want a lot.

A lot of these complaints just boil to

Needing to go to external tutorials on YouTube is the root source of the problem that creates Boomers and no-games. You managed to find some at least semi-competent people in your search, but it is extremely easy to find people repeating boomers or no-games talking points, or from falling down the rabbit hole of clickbait combo decks that look impressive but are extremely cherry picked replays for minimal interruption. This can be made worse if the new players are trying to join in a bad TCG format and end up hearing way more complaints. Thus, as they lack any proper knowledge, a lot of new players adopt those opinions with less nuance, and many returning players get the "back in my day" opinion, especially if they run into Edison or Goat format stuff and how its frequently glazed.

Competent tutorials with completion incentives have people more likely to approach the game as it stands, thus reducing the presence of no-games casuals and boomers. Some do certainly hold on, but that becomes more focused in people that just won't enjoy it in the first place.

>I crafted a mater level deck with the frontloaded gems
Yeah cool dude, but all the front loaded gems dried up in the first year and solo modes are one time rewards. That well has been dry for me and many others for years now though. I'm going to assume you've played less than a year though so you wouldn't understand that yet though, I started day 1.
You're gonna feel it one day too. It's designed like any other f2p game, frontload a bunch of currency but slowly boil the frog. Events will offset it for a while but for me it was mid 2nd year that it caught up from making a new deck every month or so.
Also I don't want to play only meta decks, yet it's costing me a similar amount at almost 20+ URs for those non-meta decks.
>Solo mode
Konami has one of the easiest layups of all time by just making a bunch of classic anime inspired solo modes and they just don't for some reason. Sure seeing some archetype lore is neat, but this is the easiest shit ever and it's baffling they haven't. Maybe it's so they can milk such an experience in duel links? Hell maybe make some OCs for MD.
>boils down to
First of all, this is absolutely shill behavior. It should not have to be so terrible, it was decently relaxed before and now it's worse. This game is about playing cards, not playing economic management. I'd go play an RTS or tycoon game if I wanted that.
Secondly, do you think I get a choice of how many URs there are in a deck? How am I "outsmarting" needing almost 30 URs for many of the meta decks. That's going to strain your gems hard each time you need to build a new deck once the meta shifts and no amount of smart planning is going to mitigate that besides never building anything outside the meta. But I guess that's fine because there's no other way to play the game. :^)

Master Rule 4 was when Link Monsters were introduced, which is why you have cards like Predaplant Verte Anaconda, Crystron Halqifibrax, Heavymetalfoes Electrumite, and the xyz guy that nobody remembers.

How did people do it? You could only summon to the EMZ and linked zones, like what currently applies with Pendulum and Link Monsters.

Did people like it? There's a reason that Master Rule 5 is the default and not Master Rule 4.

Thinking about getting into the physical games, I always had the itch but never had the chance. Is the 3x blue eyes white destiny structure deck a meme? My store has them and I always liked blue eyes dragon, saw a couple videos about it and seemed like good value but I'd like to hear your unbiased opinion.

>>96975861
>Is the 3x blue eyes white destiny structure deck a meme?
Yes. The deck itself has the BEWD core in it, but the BEWD core on its own isn't good enough to compete even against casual decks. You need to get a moderately-expensive Primite engine to make it decent, or at the very least a cheapo Invoked engine for a budget build.

If you wanna run BEWD, look up decklists on ygoprodeck and find a build that fits your budget.

the kid is shady as fuck from the very beginning, you should have expected it really

by the way enjoy these few episodes because the anime falls off a cliff right after yuya duels reiji, and they make preparations before they leave for the synchro dimension

it's so fucking bad that it actually leaves you feeling empty

every plot thread set before the synchro dimension goes nowhere
every single character you met so far doesn't appear again until the last 5 episodes or so, and only as a background cameo of sorts, which makes you wonder why they even bothered to introduce them instead of diving right into the multi dimensions plot and characters

this is the one season that should have remained formulaic ie yu-whatever has a small group of friends and they face new challenges every so often
there really was no need for them to hop dimensions at all, just shove all the z-arc and rei shards in the standard/pendulum world and have the legacy characters invade/show up here

The other person is mostly correct but it's important to make the distinction between competitive and competent. 3x of the structure deck will give you a competent deck, giving it those upgrades will make it a competitive deck.
Triple structure deck is a very traditional entry point to the game. And the newer BE deck is able to be competent which is to say that it's capable of achieving its desired and board fairly consistently and for that plan to matter.

I would say go for it if you can get it at a decent price. Most you lose out on is maybe $40 and however long you spend playing.
The other advice I would give is that you should not be afraid to "kill your darlings". You might find that you actually don't jive with the deck or outgrow it and want to do something different. If you post "Im looking for recs of X theme and Y play style, is modern playable, and can be built on a budget of about $100" you'll get some recs if it exists.

Arc-V is the anti-Zexal. Zexal starts weak, but after it finds its footing, becomes amazing. Arc-V starts amazing, and keeps finding ways to fall lower. Reiji consistently has entertaining duels, at least. The infinite FTK loop was the highlight of Synchro Dimension.

Plenty of people have made decks that do that. You use Gold Moon Coin/Gift Exchange to donate the pieces to your opponent.

It's only weird if you make it weird for starters. That's an alt art and we know exactly the type of people that play it at this point. (DUDE is way past it's print and we have cheap Ashes in other products now that have the original art)
As for question of when.
Tea was around since the start (2002, region date varies) but zexal (2015) introduced several characters that could be labeled such. Depends if by loli you mean minors broadly because you seem like that kind of person.
GX (2004) really started to lean into anime tropes and in that era featured cards like silent magician lv4 and a few others. And these are closer to what you likely mean. Paired with >>96989600
So that ship sailed about 20 years ago.

I wouldn’t consider Tea a loli though. A female who happens to be a minor, yes, but not a loli. These characters on this DUDE box set and the Traptrix deck are straight lolicon just without the nudity; the suggestive poses, the outfits, the style of art.

The problem isn't just that there's waifushit/pedoshit, but that these are some of the most prominent cards in the modern game.

You weren't explaining how it became infested with lolis.

1 card isn't a "loli infestation" no matter how ravenous your fantasies about men jacking off to her can get. The ghost girls as a whole see rotating play and even have entire formats where people generally just don't give a shit about any of them, save for Ash Blossom who at worst has been low-impact in multiple recent formats.

Point is, the game has always had lolis in it because takahashi likes them, they were one of his major fetishes alongside dark-skinned women and corruption. He probably insisted on shaking the hand of whoever came up with the yokai girls.

You don't need neo kaiser, that's why you're running the primite cards in the first place.

You're never using more than 2 spirit with eyes of blue and a single seal, so cut those in favor of more spirit targets (lightstorm and moonlight dragon), you're running 3 of those after all. Everything else looks fine.

what card pack sim do you use to manage draft?
me and a friend started playing ygo casually with the edopro thing and were just playing random decks on ygoprodeck but quickly realized that the difference in power is drastic and we dont know how to judge the relative power because we are noobs so we thought drafting from old sets would be the best way to ensure our decks are similarly matched. There are so many of these sites, surely one of them has good features for saving/exporting the cards you get.
>>
>>97002279
And he's running it at exactly 1 copy, how exactly is he getting that chain block consistently inb4 i will simply draw it/stack the deck every single time? It's not even searchable with wishes, not that you'd waste the search on him.

It's good in pure builds where you run 2-3 copies since you can link it off to dump maiden, but blue-eyes primite doesn't need it. There are better 1-ofs he could be running, like prosperity, magnamhut/druiswurm or even jet.
>>
>>97009096
Answering your question directly,
>https://www.ygoprog.com/PackOpener
However; most people don't really draft because the game hasn't really been designed with drafting in mind for years, though recently things have been getting a lot more generic in nature so that could change in the future. Given that you guys aren't versed enough with the game to build a cube, you might have more luck running things back in Genesys instead.

https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/genesys/
>No Pendulum/Link Monsters, or Extra Monster Zone
>Uses a Point system in leau of a banlist
>You cannot build your deck in a way where the total amount of points your cards have exceeds the limit, where the default limit is 100

Power imbalances still exist, but you're most likely not going to get such extremes as sizing up a pure Drytron deck against a Mitsurugi Yummy deck.
>>
>>97009197
>hasn't really been designed with drafting in mind for years
yeah it took us a while to understand how archetypes work.You need all the pieces or you might as well not be playing. and most of them were over our heads and we couldn't figure out how to sequence the cards without looking up a guide.
We were going to draft from the early sets and work our way up until the archetypes get too crazy to ignore.
After looking into genesys, it seems only slightly less powerful than the main format which is still far beyond the scope of our understanding.
>>
>>97009435
>You need all the pieces or you might as well not be playing
That's not necessarily true. Some archetypes can work in smaller bundles of cards that can be splashed into other decks. People call that an "engine".
>>
>>97009435
>yeah it took us a while to understand how archetypes work.You need all the pieces or you might as well not be playing.
It's less that you need all of the pieces for them to work, so much as it is that they're designed specifically to work with oneanother out-of-the-box and you need to figure out other packages that synergize with them. You have stuff like Invoked that can work with Shaddoll for instance, or Tenyi and Swordsoul, Spright and Gishki, so on and so forth. As of a few years ago, they also started to generically support specific types of cards, like Equip Spells, Flip Monsters, Continuous Trap Monsters, and a few others that use archetypes to do a bit more legwork for them.

>We were going to draft from the early sets and work our way up until the archetypes get too crazy to ignore.
That's called a Progression series and the website that I linked you is specifically designed for that. Even comes with a deckbuilder, and if you register on their website, a digital binder that you can save all your pulls in.

>After looking into genesys, it seems only slightly less powerful than the main format which is still far beyond the scope of our understanding.
That's true, but the point system does a lot to tame the game since you can't just cram 5 engines into one deck and have it work. A lot of those engines get hit with point allocations. Knocks the game back by about 5 or 6 years, give or take, without stopping you from running current stuff.
>>
>>97009197
>Power imbalances still exist, but you're most likely not going to get such extremes
Hard disagree. Genesys feels way more unbalanced than the standard format. There are so many less going 2nd tools available it seems impossible to break a board unless the opponent bricks.
>>
>>97010476
Maybe try leaning harder into your engine and packing in more redundancy over more interruption. Not every deck can do that of course so that just depends on what you're running. One thing I see is a lot of people trying to pack in 3ofs for their interruption, but even if their decks have points to spare for that, they end up bricking on non-engine more often than not.

I run Witchcrafter with a handful of cards to perform Fusion Summons (Cartesia, Faimena) with additional cards that have polymerization-like effects (Magicalized Fusion, Swamp King+Polymerization). I don't particularly have a lot of trouble breaking through boards going second, as long as I don't draw my garnets and at least one witch. That's my anecdotal take I guess.
>>
>>97010652
Maybe people could if basic shit like archtypical e-teles weren't 6x the price of most handtraps.
>>
>>97011145
What archetypal e-teles are you running that are worth 6x the price of most handtraps?
>>
>>97009096
ygoprodeck. Make an account and you can save drafted cards to a "collection" for later. IIRC you can only have 10 collections on a free account, but I also think they're unlimited size. It was something funky that didn't really matter if you're only making one big collection though. It might have changed, so take that statement with a grain of salt though.
I'd recommend opening more than 1 box once you get to about 2007 or 2009 which is when sets started to be more archetype focused and by 2013(?) it's near entirely archetype focused but you can still do N box limit if you want the challenge. This is if you're looking to build new decks each opening rather than a "progression series" style of drafting.
>>
>>97011172
NTA
OG E-tele is 35 and Emergency! (R ace e tele) is 33, Im not as familiar with other archetypes' so this list isn't exhaustive. If you consider that the average point values for most of the staple handtraps is about 5pts (if you consider something like ash an outliar among droll, nib, ghost morner, all 3 mulcharmies, etc), then they're right that these E-teles are 6x the cost.

Speaking as a psychic synchroslop - myutant player. E-tele is basically your only consistency card and you're "forced" to run it as a part of your engine.

Feeling nostalgic for yugioh and want to make decks out of favorite pet cards. Haven't played in years and the last deck I made was a Yubel deck while going up hill trying to compete with modern link decks. How the fuck do I make pic rel work in a deck at all? It's not going to be anywhere competative but I am curious from a casual perspective how it is possible to make him work. Failing that are there formats where he could possibly work in to begin with? I have never really played outside standard TCG but I have always liked the idea of playing in a very old school format where you're expected to run slow decks.
>>
>>97018681
You don't. Obviously the card is bad now, but it's pretty much always been dogwater since it's tied to The Allegedly Great Dezard. No older formats support him, and the best you can really do in the current format or Genesys is put them in a Morganite deck so that you can Normal Summon Dezard without tribute.

GOAT and Reaper formats exist if you want to play the game in a moderately-simplified state though. Problem with GOAT is that the format is highly optimized, so your odds of making a Richie deck work there are basically non-existent (they can just Special Summon Black Luster Soldier and punk the guy)
>>
>>97018681
>>97018722
Oh, tangentially related; Yubel actually did get a lot of really good support (relatively-)recently. The pure archetype focuses on crapping out "Yubel" monsters (including the OGs of course) while the optimized version uses Unchained and/or Fiendsmith as a backbone for setup (Fiend Link).
>>
>>97018722
>>97018729
Thanks anon. I will definitely check out the new Yubel support as I really enjoyed my old deck. I suppose with Richie the best I could do is try to focus on A Wild Monster Appears! as a summoning condition for him and build a search engine for it while hope I have a way to counter any potential negation thrown my way. It's jank but again I would like to try and make an excuse to play him somehow.

I'd need to see other examples because I can't think of too many archetypal E-Teles that are on the list unless they're archetypal E-Teles + a bunch of other crazy effects, or just happened to be the decks that the internal playtesters over-estimated.

Original E-Tele being high in points makes sense. Though I'd personally cap it at 20, tops, instead of 33. They're insane for thinking that E-Tele is worth more than Pot of Greed.

This is doubly /tg/-related, my tabletop group is doing a D&D game based on Yu-gi-oh lore (specifically, the Golden Lands) and I immediately knew I had to make my own OjamOC trio, using a funny Artificer build that gets both Find Familiar and the Homunculus infusion so the other two Ojamas have a physical presence on the board (but if they aren't present for whatever reason they're "Polymerized" into his getup).
>>
>>97024514
I didn't see any archetypal E-Teles. I saw a lot of archetypal ROTAs that generate a lot more advantage than their individual searches. You could make an argument that they should be a little lower and that handtraps should be a little higher, but that has nothing to do with the original point that I was making in that you should be leaning more into engine and looking for ways to bake redundancy into your builds.

And I do not mean *consistency*, I mean *redundancy*. Putting in more cards that achieve the same, or a similar end so that you can keep your plays in motion when you get interrupted.

Some decks like it when you discard and/or send cards to the GY by card effect. Dark World would probably be a valid example for this card's time. If you're feeling frisky, you could use Mystical Refpanel to impose that on your opponent instead, but that isn't very good since you'd basically just be setting up their GY for free.

Regenesis just happens to work with Blue-Eyes White Dragon specifically because it has a Regenesis-friendly stat of 2500 DEF. You'd be better off building something more dedicated to a Regenesis gameplan instead of cramming them into a BEWD deck, like Kashtira Regenesis or Dogmatika Regenesis.

I hope this rancid bitch gets put in her place. Nothing in Forbidden Crown's card artwork imply that Lucifer was defeated and he was also the closest angel to God before his fall. Lucifer tapping into his latent angelic powers and smiting her for her defiance of both Heaven and Hell would be the most cathartic thing in the world.

That would be kino of the highest order, so of course it won't happen. You VILL enjoy a true omni negate retrain/powercreep of solemn judgment, depicting girlboss condemned darklord finally taking over the sanctuary in the sky.

So just how competitive will the 5ds decks be? Assuming I buy 3x, of course.
>>
>>97034635
So far none of them are expected to break into the metagame from the last few months of community testing. So not Tier 1 or 2.
Yusei.dek still has mechanical issues with feast or famine play as there's slack of cohesion of archetypes. HOWEVER, with the recently revealled Junk cards this is subject to possibly change because they're expected to be strong starters.
Akiza.dek and it's core set support are still disjointed. They're fine cards but lack cohesion between the rose dragons and plants.
Blackwings are unchanged and nothing new, so nothing is going to change about it's placement. That said it's not a bad deck and can set up some ok endboard cards and has sensible modern design with it being an actually unified archetype unlike the other 2.

I would expect to be able to do well at locals with blackwing and maybe post newer support junk/stardust. But probably not make it at the regional or higher level. The decks are more geared towards a casual setting as they don't really do anything "unfair" enough to break into the meta but will be able to hold their own against anything modern.

Why did they censor the eye of all things?

is there a way to make other (spell) cards into fast effects so you can play them on other turns?
>>
>>97036514
No. I think there was one archetype that had it as a gimmick but it's something they really don't want you doing.
>>
>>97034383
>Endymion card
yes
YES!
>>
>>97036514
The only safe way to do that would be by making it so that a specific archetype could copy the effects of their archetypal spell cards on quick effect speed. Think what Witchcrafter Genni does, but as a Quick Effect.
>>
>>97034383
It's an alright 1of for Witchcrafter since in Advanced you can summon it either off of the effects of Lacrima of Light (duped off of Genni unless you get handtrapped) or with VM's summon. Through that you can get Patronus access on your first turn and then link her off into Selene so that you get an arbitrary VM trigger on the following turns while also being able to revive your witches. Which is to say that she's basically just a more convenient way to access Patronus, which is fine.

It's kind of funny that K9 cards let you summon during either player's turn if your opponent has the nerve to play the game, meanwhile Maid Verre can only summon herself during MP2 and also relies on the idea that you didn't brick on Spells.
>>
are there any quick effect boardwipes other than this guy:
https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Nibiru,_the_Primal_Being
>>
>>97037125
As a handtrap, no.
As a monster you have to summon out first, yes and there's plenty of them.
Jurracs' entire gimmick is nuking the board as a QE with meteor as a non-OPT, cursed thunder god, ZEUS, bramble rose + BRD, exciton knight are a few off the top of my head.
>>
>>97037298
what about Quick-Play Spell Card or set traps?
>>
>>97037317
I can't think of any quick play spells that would do it. But there's a couple trap cards, but they usually have condition of some sort on them. Some I list may not seem like it but in practice they are basically boardwipes.
Torrential tribute, evenly matched, that's 10 +/- you're finished, ferret flames, needle ceiling, witches strike, daruma karma cannon, linear equation cannon, giant trap hole.
Again these are just some off the top of my head. Most of these are too gimmicky or require you to be on a specific deck to get off besides the first two.

I finally learned how pendulums worked today. So basically to pendulum summon a pend monster needs to be between the pend scale of the pend monsters on the left and right.
So if you want to pend summon you want a bunch of monsters with low pend scales and high pend scales so you can have a wide range for pend summoning.
Also, pends go to the extra deck from the field. So you could use it a lot for summoning, where you tribute/synchro/fuse a pend monster, then it goes to the top of your extra deck, then next turn you can pend summon it to use for another special summon.
Also, since pend monsters are like spell cards in the pendulum zone, that means cards like MST should kill them right?
And it has to go left to right, so pend summon with pend scale 8 on the left and pend scale 1 on the right doesn't work.

That's the gist of it, yes.
>Pendulum monsters go (specifically) from the field to the Extra Deck, face-up
>When summoned from the Face-Up Extra Deck, they share the same zoning restrictions as Link Monsters. They do not share this restriction when summoned from other locations (hand, deck, GY, banishment)

>And it has to go left to right, so pend summon with pend scale 8 on the left and pend scale 1 on the right doesn't work.
This is incorrect. It's always min/max and doesn't care about which one is on the left or right. In the anime you could have differential numbers on the left and right side of the cards, but no such cards exist in the real world.
>>
>>97037530
It's stun shit or bust. Being unable to play hand traps and extenders from hand is a major detriment in the context of the modern game that you're not going to want to play them. They're all cool in concept but they lack anything to actually do that isn't stun which is extremely boring and cringe.
Every benefit that they can give you has already been baked into just about every archetype now.
Purple is covered by the searching of cards and extenders.
Red is covered by removal being stapled to many bosses and stats on said bosses are enough to close the game with then direct attacks.
Green is stuff that most archetypes don't even concern themselves with.
Why concern yourself with trying to find these cards to get the benefits to function when you can just play an archetype that doesn't have the problems to be solved in the first place?

>>97037947
If you're a Blue cunt then you'd probably like Runick. It's an aggressive control/deepdraw deck that pairs well with other control strats. The floodgates you can run with it frankly just make the game boring and I wouldn't recommend them, when you could instead pair them with stuff like Radiant Typhoon or Sky Striker for more meaningful games.

I don't remember if there's a vbex entry for her archetype but things you can extrapolate from the cards
>Dreaming Tower of Nemleria
This is where she goes when she falls asleep. You can see the glow from the amulet on top of the tower, and also in her own card, you see the sprinkles/wisps in the sky near her bed. When Nemleria puts herself into the Extra Deck, she also places a Continuous Spell (Dreaming Tower) on the field, which represents her going to bed and manifesting the tower.

>All of the monsters
With the exception of Dreaming Reality, all of the monsters gain power from devouring the Tower, which is reflected by them banishing cards from your ED. Dream Devourer, Reviel, does so of its own accord and needs to be stopped by the Defenders. When it hits the field, it searches one of the archetypal traps that respectively summon the Defenders or act as a stand-in for Dreaming Reality's power.

All of it's basically just a question of what happens when the ED/Tower is depleted. Either Nemleria is waking up and throwing a tantrum, or the power that was devoured by the other monsters is returning to the Tower (banish cards, and return your own banished cards to the extra deck/tower). I think it's the latter since we never actually see Nem wake up, but she does get on top of Dreaming Reality (while still sleeping) both in the card artwork and through Dreaming Reality's summoning condition.
>>
>>97038357
Of note; The Tower is not seen in Reveil or Dreaming Reality's card artwork, while it's seen in everything featuring the other Defenders. Which is why I believe that Nem isn't waking up from the dream when she hits the field.

IMO is doesn't quite translate the feeling you expect, it's also considered kind of scrub behavior by our culture. Speaking from experience it's not the same and I play a lot of blue (mostly azorius, dimir, esper, and grixis decks, notice a pattern?)
In MTG you can afford to take hits for a turn or so and then still live but in YGO if you leave yourself open you're instantly dead. But you also have to be able to close the game out in a similar fashion because of the strength of top decking from a deck that's been thinned of searchable cards down to powerful unsearchables and starters.
Just about every deck feels blue at the same time though because of all the instant/quick interaction in handtraps and all the tutoring/searching.
Open your mind to the possibility of playing more cards in a turn rather than draw-go.
If you like fucked up beasts and the iconic classic yugioh millennium eye stuff, try out a "chimera" deck variant like "branded" or "illusion".
<MTG AUTISM AHEAD>
It plays like a grixis deck that has a lot of aespect of dimir control and reanimate, izzet spellslinging (they have a quick play fusion spell that's cool and Branded in Red if you play the branded varient), then a big rakdos punchy finisher to close the game. The deck can reanimate this card by the GY effects of the fusions and it cucks the opponent's quick play spells that something like runick play. Also Mirrorjade and Guardian Chimera is [kind of] a boardwipe which if I assume you were the person looking for those earlier, is a feature of this deck. And pic is technically a stun card for backrow but people will be more chill about it because it's kind of novel/"fair", because you activate her as CL1 target one of your back row, and then CL2 you activate that targeted backrow card and get it's value, "sac. scam" might be the best MTG way to put it. Is it the best deck? Not really, but it's a super sick deck.

TLDR it's fun if you enjoy a more aggro blue deck with some control tools.
>>
>>97037720
>It's stun shit or bust. Being unable to play hand traps and extenders from hand is a major detriment in the context of the modern game that you're not going to want to play them.
So there's not enough non-monster hand traps for it to be viable (outside of stun)?
>>
>>97038421
It's not strictly a matter of handtraps. It's the fact that monsters being able to activate effects from the hand in order to interrupt or extend is a fundamental part of the game now, which makes it difficult to mix Morganite with other engines. Virtual World is the fastest example of that I can give since all of them need to activate effects in the hand to summon themselves, but you can find better and more modern examples of that being a thing pretty easily.

Stun and Beatdown are basically the only two strategies that Morganite supports. And that's fine, but even within those parameters, it's difficult to find decks that it can work in.
>>
>>97038260

Stun in Yugioh is closer to stax in Magic. It isn't really control.

Do I have to do anything special besides buy the volume to get the bundled card?

It should just come with it.
Also it's not really her manga so much as it is Aleister/Crowley's in Part 1 and Regulus' in Part 2, but she plays a strong supporting role in both as of now so it's okay
>>
>>97038051
>>97038470
I noticed that the morganite's drawback doesn't (directly) conflict with runick. Idk if a deck could be made to use both though.
>>
>>97038815
Every time I see a Runick Morganite deck, they inexplicably find a way to deck themselves out with Time-Tearing Morganite before I'm able to get decked out by them. I don't know how it's possible. It is a tried and true combo, I just don't understand how they consistently kill themselves with it. Unironic skill issue on my local pilots I guess.
