Gonna hit 10,000 gems and take a break till a fun deck drops
Fuck maliss and fuck malisstrannies
>>537568026gladly and no thanks you can take them
funny how maliss gets the exact same seething and ryzeal gets the exact same defense every day
>>537568532Ryzeal dead names. Malice players are actual trannies.
>>537568532Ryzeal doesn't play for 5 minutes on my fucking turn and for that reason alone, fuck maliss. Ryzeal never made me hate this game the way maliss does.
>>537568532when I play against ryzeal I get to play yugiohsimple as
>>537569065>>537569218I don't know why malisstrannies can't grasp this simple concept. It's not just that the deck is strong, it's that the deck is fucking miserable to play against in a way that Ryzeal simply isn't. Get that through your fucking skulls already, holy shit.
I play ryzeal and maliss does that make me a double tranny or something
>The Konami employee trying Hegelian Dialectic on usAlso, ryzeal has a god awful long combo that can't even be interrupted. The fuck are you smoking, nigger?
>>537571116>god awful long combonigga what?
love how this thread is full of retards who don't understand consistency is king
is ryzeal's endboard really just the field spell + plugin + detonator pass. and some follow up for next turn.
>>537571619worst case: detonator passbest case: detonator, field spell, starliege, duo drive with 3 material, plugin, plasma hole, and a level 4 on the field to potentially bagooska on your opponent's turn
Thank you for playing Yu-Gi-Oh! MASTER DUEL.
>>537571619>>537571760you're forgetting their premier boss monster number 41
>>537571403You know what? I take that back, it's not a combo, it's the same 4 Star monster with slightly different names getting summoned over and over again.
>>537572357>can't read
Coin Redditors vs Dice Gods
5 losses, 0 winsYeah that's it for today.Brick against honest decks and draw decent against Ryzeal which I cannot beat.
which loaner is the good one?flip or coin?
>>537573934flip and coin are the same thing bwo...
>>537573934Coins have a lot more going for them than Dice which pretty much have to draw That 6+Rover/a Rover searcher to compete and also have to pray their backrow doesn't get removed.
where the fuck are they
>>537573934dice for the sole purpose of while at 200lp being able to stack 3 dicephoon to a rhino to wiped my opponent's full field and winning because jar smacked him for 6k.it was dope as fuck
servicing african ding dongs
>>537574801Mikanko support won't be for like half a year most likely. It only came out 2 months ago in the OCG.
>>537574801Mikankos owe me sex
>>537575419>It only came out 2 months ago in the OCG.Damn really? Feels like ages ago they were announced
>>537576440don't eat the lime
>>537576512I'll eat whatever and whoever I want fuck you
triple tactics talent is a giganigger retard card that fills holes in any shitdeckbeing punished for bad deckbuilding is a thing of the past
>playing tempai for quick climbing>maxx C on draw phase>they set pass>they flipping threatening fucking roar... aye fair enough
played 32 matches at diamond today15 maliss6 ryzeal11 everything elsepeople at konami looked at this format and thought "perfect time to release the ignister support that makes maliss better"
I know Maliss is overpower is as fuck but it does feel good to completely shit on Tenpai.
>anon needs the latest overpowered bullshit to win against a dated deck that cant legally run more than 8 engine cards
Are we in a rock paper scissors meta?
>>537580739I mean it makes senseMaliss release > Ryzeal release > Maliss support > Ryzeal supportit might be annoying but it is a normal release schedule>>537581614If it is so bad why they're hanging out at Master rank?
>>537582694its like rock paper scissors except if paper beats everything and paper is about to be buffed more
I'm just curious if there will still be maliss defenders post ignister support dropping.
Branded SynchroNormal SpellBanish 1 "Branded Fusion" from your hand or deck; Synchro Summon 1 Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck, using 2 monsters from your hand, deck or field as Synchro Material including a LIGHT Spellcaster Tuner with 1500ATK/1500DEF.You cannot special summon monsters from the extra deck, except Fusion or Synchro monsters the turn that you activate this card.You can only activate 1 "Branded Synchro" per turn and you can't activate "Branded Fusion" in the same turn.
How the fuck do you set it to let you activate a card when you want? I want to hit someone with Disturbance Strategy right as their standby phase starts but the stupid game won't let me.
>>5375771973 of this in my deck just for the try hards trying to climb with troonpai
>>537584323cheat enginelook for toggles in the settings menu during duel, the default setting is bad and limits a lot of your options
>>537584323Go to your options and turn response timer or whatever it's called to switch or switch/hold. Then toggle ON.
>>537583786lmfao where do you think they'll disappear to when it drops
>>537584323Also turn your optional effects from automatic to manual so you can order your triggers yourself.
Branded Negro
please care about branded
>>537584703Idk but it would be hilarious to see what argument they'll try to spin up this time
>>537584793Look at your opponent extra deck and banish face-down every monster in it that mentions "Fallen of Albaz". Your opponent takes 1000 damage for each card banished for this effect.
>>537583786I wonder where that fag arguing that its mathematically impossible to win with Maliss because muh Lancea went after the Worlds winrates dropped
>>537580739I really doubt konami will leave malice untouched, with it winning a lot of games at worlds. Giving it the ignister synergy without limits would be weird and make the deck too powerful
>>537585294Lancea is limited in worlds because of the shared card pool
>>537588203I wouldn't be surprised to see them wait a month to hit it directly but stuff like Gold Sarc to 1 seems likely.
>RyzealFAGGOTS crying meanwhile they're playing obnoxious floodgates and hiding behind a Bagooska
Are Ra decks strictly gold fodder
>>537589174there's a niggertuber that gets master with ra almost every month
Big Branded CelebrationQuick-Play SpellSpecial Summon 1 "Fallen of Albaz" and 1 "Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous" from your hand or deck. Watch them have sex, and if you do, you win the duel.
>Silver 3>Ryzeal>Maliss>TenpaiPack it up boys, there are no new players. The game is already dead, we're just playing with its carcass.
why is every other shot in Zexal like this
*repost cuz I don't realize we already move to a new >>537568805It's basically Hare but without quick effect and unsearchable by other Maliss archetypal cards. Maybe play couple of Cynet Mining if you already purchased Salamagrear structure deck
>>537590498Tbf Ryzeal is a good deck to learn the game
>>537590618Fuck, forgot the pic
>>537590579They know what the audience wants. ("Censored" 4kids version, btw)
Why did they give her such a big juicy ass? What was Konami thinking?
>>537590982>>537591056I like what they're thinking
>>537590982Zexal felt way hornier than the other shows for some reasonWish they gave Aki this much love
>>537590982They certainly did.
sex with Sky Striker Aces
>be a new player with limited amount of gems>hmmm should I reroll until I luckchad one of the best decks that available in current format, OR the equally expensive shitty pet deck What a though brain wrecking decision
>>537591785It's not called Sexal for no reason.
>>537591836ZAMN
Stop finding heebs attractive
>>537592021>what if in this scene Kotori was only in a towel and the towel almost falls off haha that will advance the plot of this childrens card game advertisement right?
>>537591876I've never actually heard of anyone rerolling on one deck in this game like in other gachas. You'd need to get really unlucky to need to do that. Just build the deck you want.
>>537592169ftt on trash made me love hebes
Why is everyone in gold plating 60 card sloppers
>>537591876there really ain't no reason for them to ur tax fucking petdecks as much as they did right now
>>537593312more cards = more good
>>537588734You know as much I hear people in this thread talk about ryzeal summoning bagoo, I've never seen a ryzeal player never summon it on me as their main gameplan.
>>537593384The biggest hurdle for new players, at least for me, is staples. Let me at least unlock 1 of Maxx C, Ash, Called By, etc in the solo modes so I'm not in crippling UR debt for months and can actually start building decks faster.
>>537593987I never blind Bagooshka on ranked
>already have full deck profiles and cosmetic for all the decks i want and max gems>look at what's coming in the sets ahead...and nothing that looks fun to play until maybe next year spring the earliestWhy does MD have to be so far behind?
Why can't anyone agree on a chessy cat ratio
>>537594126Why don’t you want to play blind second gem knights with 11 maxx c
Heraldic Beast is THE Chad deck!
>>537595487I'm curious to see how people will play Gem Knights in MD. OCG sees it as a going first deck and TCG sees it as an OTK deck so there will probably be a good mix.
>>537594126I want to play K9 Crystron. Being able to XYZ and Synchro on the opponent turn sounds fun.
>>537589174my wife and future mother of my offspring
>>537595759>I'm curious to see how people will play Gem Knights in MD.Um did you forget what the meta is or something?
Mating Pressing Purrely...
>>537595759I feel like going second decks are especially good in bo1 meta where we can't sideboard. Idk how it interacts with Maliss though. A strong going second deck should be able to beat Maliss infinite resources but White Binder sounds annoying to Gem Knights.
just got this one from legacy pack and i'm kinda surprised it did fuckall nowadays
>>537596486>ermmmm you're not allowed to play other decks than the top tiers, just ignore everyone who does that>it's not my fault that I'm playing this deck, I have no choice!
>>537596882Why would it surprise you that an unsearchable conditional card that draws in the end phase and only if you've resolved a good combo is not good
>>537596997it was banned back in drool, no?
>>537596893I'm just saying nobody gonna be playing that when it's in a pack with both ryzeal and maliss support is in it. experimentation will be rare and you won't be seeing it
>>537597550You see people play all sorts of decks when you actually play the game and it's not like Gem-Knights are some sub-rogue petdeck post-support.
https://x.com/tasukusuraimu1/status/1962689368600256619lol fraud
>>537598668So that's why Ryzealfags are playing Solemns now...
>>537595768I like k9 werewolf as a boss monster but funny enough, it's an afterthought in k9 gameplay because they just like the turn plays
>>537598668>Solemn over Eclipse
crossout should negate the declared card for the rest of the duel for the user
>>537598668why do they play that exosister
>>537598668
hand traps are gay
I feel like people who tell me to hold interruption for Duo Drive are sabotaging me
>>537603684What better choice is there? Every ryzeal monster can summon itself out of the hand for costs that are basically "if it's any day of the week" and they all add or summon another one. Chances are if you try to negate one of them another one will pop out of the hand and the game will continue as if you never did anything in the first place.At least with duo drive there's no equivalent for the search 2. If it gets negated that has a meaningful effect.
>>537598668>I MUST BUILD MY DECKS AROUND GOING FIRST!!japs really do be like this
>>537601241Sometimes you need non-destruction removal. I've used it in a bunch of decks usually in events when other options are banned and occasionally it saves my ass.
>>537599564His teammate had Eclipse and it's not like Eclipse is a straight upgrade anyway.
WCS datahttps://x.com/Midrash2200800/status/1962037779539378367
>>537598668he betrayed the true OCG spirit by not including the one gamma
>>537604515How does that compare to the paper format?
>>537604515not gonna read all that just to see the same shit as always. going first good. maxx c strong. what's different this year, 5%? oh my god!!!!!!people who waste their time doing write ups like this are so pathetic. this is exactly why we'll never properly advance as a society.
>>537604883>I'm brownOK, we get it. No need to have a meltdown about it.
>>537604424Eclipse deal with ANY Ryzeal board as long as they don't have AshIt's far better than playing judgmentHe could've played any quick play boardbreaker and it would've been better than judgment
>>537605092rather be brown than white (or yellow) but an idiot who wastes hours writing up shit everyone understands in 10 seconds.
Did chinks leak Thunder Dragon support half a year ago or did I just dream that?
>>537605648i don't know. maybe.
>>537594839Because Chessy is semi-garnet, if you open with any extender, then normal summon Chessy is a strong move, She's handtraps magnet, premium bait, the one that even if you 99% sure She's a bait, you have no choice but to still Ash, Imperm, Veiler or Purge Her then pry to the 1% chance that your opponent don't have an extender. But if you don't have any extender then she's brick.Whether you run 1 or 2 copies of Her are depends on your deck build, but one thing for sure anyone who run 3 copies of Her are just lucklet who lack UR dusts
Why don't maliss players run cynet mining instead of more chessy?
>>537607849>>537607998more chessy is valid if you run a lot of bystials or allure
Why is it, whenever I switch decks I get a relatively fair duel but the next duel my opponent has the perfect counter to mine? Is the matchmaker algorithm trying to fuck me over?
>>537608514Probably, I fight an incredible number of people using Feather Duster and Red Reboot. Rarely see those people when playing Maliss even though a Feather or Reboot aren't too bad against it.
theres no dogmatika secret pack? bro I dunno what to pull now my gems got 2 days
SEEEEEEX!!!
>>537604139He bitches and moans about his coinflips in that post. That he lost coinflips while playing a deck that needs to go first.It's so fucking absurd. OCG are never gonna get any better, bunch of going first turbo mongrels.
Fuwalos feels so inconsequential against most top decks now. I guess it is okay against Maliss. Droll is kinda shit against both Maliss and Ryzeal. Hand traps feel kinda crap now outside of Impulse, Maxx, Lancea and Ash. Board breakers are good against Ryzeal now but are going to become crap after Twin.Idk what to do with my few last slots.
>>537608772echo chamber nationeverything else is an SR except the one-of alba zoa
>>537609401Good. Learn to play for real and stop using hand traps.
>>537609401>Fuwalos feels so inconsequential against most top decks nowWhat?>Good into Ryzeal, especially if they start with Ice>Good into Maliss>Good into Memento>Good into any Fiendsmith variant>Okay into MermailIt's not Maxx C but that's the point of the charmies
>>537609554is it even possible to just build pure gas/ minimal hand traps without being blown out going second?
>>537609754No. It's part of the reason why Pends are so fucking dogshit, they can't afford to run any non-engine.
>>537609535huhi just did a search for dogmatika in the deck builder. i have everything but alba zoa already at 2-3 copy. fuck me what works with dogmatika I can waste 2K gems
>>537609681You mean it is only good when they start with Ice, right? Otherwise they can make Detonator or Bagooska and pass. Maliss can make White Binder, Firewall, get their 2 traps and then draw 2 for good measure. Is this good enough? Probably, but when you consider we play in bo1 format which might mean this card is dead in my hand when going first. It feels kinda crap to play it.
>>537609401>Droll is kinda shit against both Maliss and Ryzeal.Huh most of the time, it kills them if I drop droll
>>537609401Droll is kinda shit against Ryzeal.Do you even play the game?
>>537610293Yeah forcing them to make Deadnader or Bagooska pass while still being an upstart is good.>Maliss can make White Binder, Firewall, get their 2 traps and then draw 2 for good measure.And that gives you like 9 cards
I haven't been playing for very long. I feel like I could do with some staples. Are there any commons or rares that you lot would recommend that I craft to fill out my options?
>>537597550NTA, but I intend to play Gem-Knights. They were one of my favorite decks the last time that I was really into YGO, and I'm looking to see what piloting them feels like in new contexts and with new support.
>>537609401Droll against Ryzeal is only slightly less powerful than Lancea against Maliss, unless they open with all Ryzeal main deck monsters then the best the can do under Droll are just Detonator or Bagooska pass + whatever handtraps they have in their opening hand
Playing Monarchs is unironically hilarious. A good opening hand can really just make the other player feel like they don't want to play, because all of their tricks get locked out.
>>537612693just wait for the new Monarch cards, it'll get even worse
>>537611360There's really not a lot of N/R options and they made it that way on purposeBook of Moon, Mystical Space Typhoon, Forbidden Chalice are all kind of staples for starting accountsTorrential Tribute, Comulsory Evacuation Device, Jelly CannonBroken Line is a poormans ImpermDimensional Fissure is a maybeDogmatika Punishment is a R, but the good targets are all SR/URThere's probably some I'm missing, they don't get played often..
How is Droll different from imperming the Duo Drive? And if Droll is really that powerful against Ryzeal. Why do I see nobody playing Ryzeal Fiendsmith which gives you a high ceiling board against Droll?
>>537612232If you manage to make it to master with it you should share the list
>>537604515>Win rate going first was 69.7% (9.33% higher than last year)>Maxx C was used 141 times and resolved 98 times (less than last year due to it being semi-limited)>73% of the time it was used by the player going first and 65.7% of the time by the player doing second (?)It has a lot more data, but basically, going first is way too strong. He notes that due to the shared cardpool it does not fully reflect the actual game, but still.
>>537613319That shared cardpool is kinda fuckedthe players were going all in on winmore cards instead of being able to play safer
>>537612997I have exactly one copy of Imperm that I pulled, luckily. Thanks the suggestions.
>>537613157Will do, if I do.
>>537613670Typhoon is another decent one, sees more play in events, but is probably pretty decent if you don't have much else
>>537613963why would you play this thing over cosmic cyclone or MST?
>>537598668>Desires with 7 one ofs>Book of Moon over Book of Eclipse>Solemn Judgement in 2025>Zeus on a 4 lock instead of a cheeky Typhon lineHow the hell does this fraud always get top 10 every single time?At least he can't do the MUH DC RANK schtick anymore since Herman Hansson (Mist) got 1st in a DC this year and got the WCS 2025 win
>>537615640you can turn0 kill blue eyes with typhoon, most decks will end with more than 1 s/t alsoand cosmic is a SR
>>537598668bro japs are so bad at deck building lmao
>>537599058they were playing it since the release when everyone was raping them with ultimate slayer
>>537616521I'm so confused by this. Like, they aren't bad at games, but somehow it continues to feel like they just aren't as effective as the US players in terms of building decks that are ruthlessly effective. Is there something about the cultural mentality that creates a blind spot or something?
>>537618691not talking about tasuku's list specifically but too many gambling addicts who love big blowout cards, while westerners prefer consistencyalso the reason why master duel has turned into such a volatile format, to cater to them
>>537618691Maxx C and anti-Maxx C cards remove any creativity in deck building
Let me out of Diamond.
>>537619585did you lose to that?
>>537619652No, it just fills me with rage.
>>537612693>Go first>Set up a Monarch>Set up spells and traps>Opponent's turn>Tribute Summoned Monsters aren't affected or able to be destroyed by card effects>Non Tribute Summoned Monsters have their effects negated>Special Summoning from the Extra Deck is blockedI love it when this happens. So many players will just surrender in this position, unless they have a choice hand trap or good spell/trap removal in opening hand. People rely on comboing the effects of their monster cards so much that telling them that they can't do that just shuts them down.
have you ever been turn 0 drillbeamed?
Why do some people play Ryzeal with Fiendsmith and some don't?
>>537616037cosmic is free from branded structure deck btw
>>537622898I think its just people clinging to fiendsmith anything before it gets irrelevantyou can also do new ryzeal memes with heraldrics in the next pack too, protos lock all the maliss players because their new support will be out, might be nice-ishbut ryzeal pure is probably still the best until mitsu
is droplet good in ryzeal?
