play her game
trying to play maids has been one of the most miserable experiences I've ever sat throughdo not fall for the bait and build this deckI regret it immensely
>>545937563it's essentially free for a reason!
>>545937563Dragonmaid sucks balls. If it wasn't for the Verre coochie, I would advocate to remove the new player "guide" in the OP.
Structure decks of all solo gates Konami
if I actually use Closed Moon for her intended purpose, can her effect let me tribute an unaffected monster? or will it not work because it is a card effect?
>>545938303It won't work.
>>545937563there is no bait, the deck sucks and every time it comes up one or more people make sure to say it. if you still built it you're just retarded.
>>545938303No. They need another monster that's able to be affected to use 2 of theirs.
>>545938381>>545938820that's a bummerthanks for the help
I'm still mad about this, but now I want to build the deck too.Basically it was Unchained/Fiendsmith with this line during going first.They also played Muckraker From the Underworld.The trick with sangan also works with droll and ash.
NUMBERS: 39 KING OF WISHES HOPE
>>545939563That isn't even good though.
>>545939563Also played the new Buio card and Mutiny in the Sky.
>>545939751They knew I had no HT in hand so they didn't go for droll. If you know what your Opp plays you can pivot into either maxx c or droll and most deck are currently weak against droll.
>>545940129And its still objectively weaker than just playing Yubel fiendsop instead.
>Come back after appo ban>Instead of Malpiss it's not Mitsurugi Ryzeal or Orcust doing the 15 minute long uninterruptible going first turnsWow it's like nothing's changed at all.
>>545940317Because the apollousa ban is entirely to kill lower power decks so people buy the new meta shit.
>>545940432Pretty sure mitsubishi and Ocust or whatever were also using Apollo through fiendslop
>>545940730Yes, but taking away good cards from good decks is like a 10% power decrease compared to the 80% power decrease to your favorite shitpile now that they don't have a monster negate for their endboard.
apo is dead, you have to let her gothinking about her still is unhealthy
>>545941428Never. Look at this pure cope I'm forced to end on without her.
>>545940432Don't forget they also banned ASF(Anti-Spell Fragrance) to prevent Sky Striker being floodgated.
>>545941706Thank you Raye.
>>545941428I never used her because I play blue eyes.
>>545941706Antispell counters literally every popular deck right now to some extent. It's a sacky no investment piece of shit, it's no different from IO in like 90% of cases since most games are decided in the first 2 turns. Stops fusion spells, stops Triple Tac, stops rituals, stops Ryzeal's field spell.
>>545941676Why not end on gryphon instead?
>>545940730Mitsurugi / Sneed Orcust are better without Apo.If you start with fiendsneed, you make a High Wave Caesar then use the link 2 and any other card like a fuwa to make a knightmare, then that into mermaid and from there you access the orcust line.It's funny how the Orcust lock doesn't matter.That said...So is Lunalight the new top tier deck? I feel that piece of shit is unstoppable without dedicated cards. I am essentially playing DImensional Barrier in all decks because fuck you, all these going second decks are just different flavors of Tenpai, and Sky Striker is still using that shit.
>>545941676Goblins could put up stronger boards than that off of a single rank 3 even before they got their support+FS.
>>545936090Did Myutant always have Herald of Ultimateness available or is this new?
>make go second deck>get forced to go first 8 games in a rowThis shit is RIGGED
>Wanna play Monarch>30 URs>Wanna play Lunanight>30 URs>Wanna play the Gagagagas>30 URs plus Ryzeal>Wanna play anything different>30 URsWell I am boxed into Orcust / Sky Striker.
>>545943057I refuse to play a going second deck below Diamond because there's like a 40% chance the opponent makes you go first in low ranks because they want the extra card.
>managed to outgrind an Orcust player with DMHoly fucking shit that was cancer to play against. I think the only thing that saved me was winning the coinflip, regardless of the fact he Maxx C'd me on my turn and his turn after.
>>545943190>want to play 3 archetypes that are in one packThis is why you should save gems until the new pack releases and then spend them all and start saving for the next one. This pack would have huge odds for you getting good URs from it.
>>545943190>not wanting to play Hope.dek pureYou don't need Ryzeal when you have infinite attack and DOUBLE UP CHANCE
>>545943238Roach barely even does anything vs DM.
>>545943712Dragonmaids, not Dark Magician.

>>545943030the wording is misleading, you can only banish once, not once for each type
>>545944203get drolled
>>545943905>>545944165The Magnet Warrior retrain archetype will save us. Trvst the plan.
>>545944203You should ignore it and summon Ace Zero then tag into Raye and Roze to make Duodrive.
>>545943905You just going to pretend GAYE is not a warrior? and utopia?
I have legitimately not had a single enjoyable duel in this game in almost 6 months now. I think it's time to accept this game has become irreparably bad.
>>545944275That does nothing to stop isolde from coming out
>>545944203make charlie and dab on mitsurugi with your triple spell negate
>>545944564If you aren't having fun why are you still playing Just quit bro, you'll be a lot happier.
>>545944282>Magnet Warrior>It's actually a Rock>>545944561>Light Warrior>It's actually a Gay MachineOnomats are an engine, but I won't deny the new Utopia is cool.

>>545944203whatever irrelevant thing that has done for the lifetime of this game
>>545944203dump a whole bunch of equips for a big burn mikanko kagura
I see a lot of Mitsurugi into Mitsurugi combo or Mitsurugi starter and then additional archetype starter, or Mitsurugi combo bridged into other combo, but I never really see anyone bothering to go other combo into Feral Imps into Habakiri. What decks were doing that so commonly in the TCG that led to its ban?
>>545944324Anon, that is fucking disgusting.
>>545945038How do I give my opponent 8 cards
>>545945038I want to Build Muh-kanko but the pack gave me 5 out of pack URs after 6000 gems.Those whore ain't loyal.And it all started after I was teased by Royal SR Mikanko.

When the FUCK is a new event coming? I only have 1300 gems, and I'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in my ear (that was an original of mine, you guys can use it if you like) than play bag slap with mutsurigifags for a whole month
>>545947983Same time as always. How are you fags still asking this for a game that's kept the same schedule nearly every month for the last 4 years?
>>545947112can't make this shit up
>>545947983Xyz vs Link Duelist Cup, thank you for playing Yugioh Master Duel
>>545946432Kali Yuga dindu nuffin'. His own deck can't even summon him on the opponent's turn.
>>545948504Retard.
I demand a Genesys format in MD. I'm sick of getting my roguedeck's only playmaker getting handtrapped like a little bitch
>>545948997But that's exactly what Genesys is anon, have you even played it? Archtypical e-tele cards are 33 points each while all the non-ash ghost girls are 3~5. Fucking Tranny Rollback and Fuwalos are 7 points. Its explicitly a format for boomers where you're encouraged to play nothing but handtraps and blowout cards.
>>545949710Bruh, my hecking Pot of Greed is playable, it has to be good!
>>545949710It's funny that they went through the effort of trying to balance things around point values and locking out bad play patterns then gave up and banned all links/pends when those two are the easiest to weed out the problem cards
>>545950246links and pends as a whole are problems. There. I said it.
malisstroon getting raped by protos in 4k
>>545950723Protos is really good right now. I'm surprised more people aren't running him. Blind calling dark is a ftk vs Maliss, Orcust, Mitsu, and Lunalight.
>>545950349It never ceases to amaze me how Konmai made Links to slow down extra deck summoning, gave up and made MR5, then made broken link monstas, then the TCG made a format to clean up the nip's massive mistake.
>>545950246links are fundamentally problematic. since they released there has been a link deck meta in literally every single format and virtually every deck runs generic links. you'd have to ban a massive swathe of them to bring the power level of links down.
These two should have their characters re-canonized. I don't care about the other manga original characters.
>>545951307>gave upBecause it was literally killing the game. MR4 was the single biggest dip in sales and tournament participation they've ever had.
>>545951326If only the format had some sort of system that could deal with a large amount of cards that needed to be dealt with. Oh well! Vaalmonica just needed to have its boss monsters banned because there was no possible way to do it.
I don't know how anyone thought genesys was good when shock master is legal
>>545951326>there has been a link deck meta in literally every single formatare you retarded?
>>545951595when i say massive i really mean that. something like 80% of links would have to be hit. at that point why even bother? it is easier to just say screw it and ban them all.>>545951848i am factually correct
>>545951326Define link deck.
>>545946002Isn't that like 6 slots an 1 ED slot for a searcher?3 Engage1 Drones1 Raye1 Roze1 KagariNot to mention that if you draw drones Engage is a dead draw or if you draw either Roze or Raye it's all ogre?Psy-frame was 3 cards and I always had fucking Driver in hand.
>>545952621it summons link monsters more than other ED types.
>>545952871Then you'll be glad to know that none of the upcoming meta decks are link. JUSH is fusion, synchro, and xyz like god intended.
>>545951784it costs a 100 points
based protos
>>545952767You'd probably want to run Drones at 3 because it's a one card starter that doesn't take your normal and if you're running 2 bricks then you want to maximize the starters. If you draw Roze+Drones then Roze just summons herself from hand with her effect and you can use the second token for something else. If you draw Raye then you can just normal her and use her effect to tag into Zero, then Zero's effect to tag into Raye+Roze. Or you can discard either with another card if your deck can do that since Zero summons from the GY.It's not that good though, just Drones>Kagari>Drones is way better since you don't need to run Raye/Roze. But it's funny the option is there and if you do draw Engage/Drones then it works well.
>>545953201And? You don't any other cards on that list when there are plenty of decks that can easily shit him out
>>545953201Does it matter? I'm sure there are 3 0 cost level 4s you can play.
>>545953269shut the fuck up ryzeal cuck your deck is shit without floodgates
>>545952767just run 3 drone dumdumraye can tag into zero immediately, so the only real brick is roze
>>545951326Links were initially made to halt the amount of ED shenanigans enabled by pends but it only made the problem worse while enabling another type of Win con in on itself through V-Links.So now links exist as almost generic cards made with whatever to facilitate plays and have been more and more degenerate.Namely any two idiots in to Closed Moon into fiendsmith until the banlist or any two idiots into Knightmare for Orcust.
>>545953394i dont play ryzeal
>>545948259This guy's a hoot at parties
>>545948548>tfw Kali Yuga locked by fucking Onomats yesterday>while I was playing D/D/DI didn't know whether to feel shocked, offended, or despair at the fact that I'm getting punished by my own card that I can't even use at full power
>>545953982People who play Yugioh don't go to parties anon.
>>545953345It matters a lot more than you'd think. Most of the good generic Rank 4 XYZ strategies cost at least some points, and the issue with Shock Master Turbo is that it's essentially a gimmick in a BO3 environment. Even if you could reliably get Shock Master on turn 1, you still have to play 2 more games where your opponent knows what you're doing. Moreover, your opponent likely has main/side deck answers like hand traps or board breakers, and you have nothing. Even if you have a back up plan for the other games, it's likely a lot worse than a deck that can actually spend points on engine and hand traps/board breakers. Shock Master is like those 20 garnet wombo combos you see on replay channels that look impressive until you realize that Yugioh is a two player game and playing against an actual human means they'll deploy turn zero disruptions.Honestly, if anything the biggest issue with Genesys so far is that a lot of the top decks are just decks that were already good in the Advanced format, like Mitsurugi and Vanquish Soul. And the frequent point updates mean that even if someone finds some gimmicky shit it'll get beaten down fast.
>>545954385So just fill your side deck with real cards and swap shock master out?
so how good is the new Primite stuff? I play a few decks that use the engine already, and it's only one UR's worth
Trying to theory craft a deck. Is there any generic Rank 4 searcher for Evil Seed or the Ragnaraika continuous spell ala King of the Feral Imps or Gallant Granite? I want to try to mix this deck with Mitsurugi but I'm not sure if I'd just have to luck out on drawing into Ragnaraika starters. I'm aware of One-for-One but that's about it. Surely there's a low level plant monster searcher somewhere.
>>545954551Can't. Point totals include both Main and Side Deck cards, so if you have 50 points in your side deck your main deck can only have 50 points. Shock Master in your ED means you can't have any other pointed cards in your Side Deck.
>>545954551NTA but are there even any zero pointed strategies worth running when your opponent is using all of their points?
>>545954924Make Strenna, tribute it with Habikiri, hit seed off Alsei
>>545954924The "rank4 that is a rota for types" are limited to pyro, machine, reptile, beast warrior, and rock.
>>545954924Plants have a lot of ways to bridge between each other but there's no generic rank 4 like you're talking about. Jasmine is a common way but needs plants already. If you want to abuse new thing then you can search the continuous with Brilliant Fusion which is pretty funny, but you'd still need to draw it unless you're searching it with something like Predaplants or Keeper of Dragon Magic.
>>545955096PUNK was probably the best unpointed deck to be running pure, but a lot of generic synchros/XYZs worth making are pointed, in addition to support like E-Tele. Sadly Foxy Tune is now 5 points as well. These days I'd say Eldlich is a great unpointed archetype but you have to run it without floodgates. A lot of Zombie cards are free though so maybe Eldlich Zombies could work. Balerdroch and the new Eldlich fusion are >>545955392Hold up, you might be on to something here. Sadly I think making Cross Sheep and getting the draw 2 discard 2 off a Ritual summon is more viable.>>545955516Dang. There's only 1 main deck Reptile Ragnaraika and it's probably the worst one.
>>545955825Yeah Jasmine was how I did it with Predaplant Ragnaraika but doesn't work with the Mitsurugi cards. I guess in theory you could go Skeletal Soldier+Verte (Or another generic plant ED monster) into Jasmine with the material you get from the Mitsurugi combo but that seems really inefficient. But how does Brilliant Fusion search the Ragnaraika continuous spell? Is there some Gem-Knight that searches any continuous spell? I'm not familiar with the archetype.>>545956138Meant to say Balerdroch and the new Eldlich fusions are great since the deck will want to abuse Delta of Invitation anyway. At 0 points in total you could run 3 pot of greed.
>>545956667Brilliant fusion fuses Hrimnir+Nepyrim into Seraphanite, then both summon themselves from the GY and all 3 are fairies for Hrimnir's effect. You can also get a second normal summon before tributing them thanks to Seraphanite.
>>545956667brilliant fusion send neph + hrimnir for seraphanite i think
>>545953394t. pipipopopupupu kakaka Maliss tranny
>>545956940>>545956968Interesting, I didn't even know this card existed. But unfortunately for this combo you'd still have to draw Brilliant Fusion, so it doesn't exactly solve the initial problem. There might just not be a way to guarantee access to both halves of the combo, which I guess is fine but a little disappointing.
>>545956940Thoughts on Brilliant Fusion into Lunalight Masquerade into set Tenki and tribute all 3 for Hamon?
>>545957365Also if you really want to Brickmaxx you can then search Iolite with Nepyrim's on summon effect, use Nepyrim's ignition to extra normal Iolite, then use Seraphanite's extra normal to Gemini summon Iolite, add back Nepyrim with Iolite's effect after tributing her with Hrimnir, and normal normal summon Nepyrim then overlay Iolite+Nepy for Feral Imps to search Habakiri.You will only ever draw Brilliant Fusion out of these cards. I promise.You can also replace Iolite with Quartz, and max out on Keeper of Dragon Magic and use your normal normal on that instead, and make the rank 4 using Keeper+Quartz, and if you draw Quartz at least it has an effect going second. Or you can use Garnet instead of Iolite, and try to use Keeper's other effect to summon it face down to uhhhhhhh idk tribute with Jasmine or something.
>>545954924you turn two mitsu into moon into fiendsmith into diabolantis send dandylion and then make jasmine>dandylion bannedFUCK
>>545934532Does anybody have any cool LIVE TWIN tricks? Like cheeky tricky interactions when playing Live Twin/Fiendsmith? Not combos but like little cheeky interactions.i.e., in Lab you can attack with a monster then use Big Welcome to return it to hand, and Ariana to summon it again to attack a second time; you can summon Chaos Angel, banish, then summon Muckraker using Angel as material and summon it back for a second banish.Little tricks like that, but in Live Twin. I want to know if I'm missing any Live Twin tricks, especially involving the Fiendsmith engine, since I'm still super unfamiliar with it...
>>545954280All right, ya got me there
>>545958448It's simple. You send Dandy Whitelion to the GY, link Diabolantis into Cross Sheep with your other Mitsus, then use Monster Reborn on Chorozo, triggering Cross Sheep to summon White Lion, then you end your turn and ask your opponent to only remove Whitelion, and do the combo on your next turn.
>>545957826Nah that is way too many bricks and I've already hit my quota from making this abomination. 3 counter traps you can search from a hand that contains Regulator/Winder and a Dododo warrior or Paira/pickup. Stupid, but probably the most playable that Time Thieves have been in a LONG time. But this is Master Duel, you always draw the 1-ofs. I appreciate the suggestion though.
I want to plow bao
>>545958725I don't know, because I'm waiting for the support before putting much effort into that deck, but I realized some better combos in FS Vaalmonica are achievable only by linking Zebufera into Sequence to get another light fiend in the GY, then shuffling it back to the ED, making Abao by using IP as material so you can use Abao to revive IP who can then summon Zebufera on the opponent's turn.
they aren't ready for the baba barber bao tech
It's his meta
>>545959518I wish she were the light fiend link. It would've been funny for a card like that to suddenly become super common.
>>545959662It's really fucked up that he doesn't even destroy himself so they don't even need to go through the effort of resummoning him to reapply the lock.
>>545959815Lil bro and his cousin are also searchable by pic related. Protos and Eschatos are unlimited in MD, playing with the Horus and Fiendsmith engine and playing 15 handstraps, you can dump the graveyard with 3 different attributes and types easily.
>>545961542>Lil bro and his cousin are also searchable by pic related.But um those are wyrms, or am I missing something? I know you usually get them off the nemesis cards.Which begs the question, are ritual beast back?Pretty sure nothing about it was hit and they are better at making protoss than even SwoSwo
>playing the new primite fusion>Enemy starts>It's live twins sprite after the normal summon doesn't proc anything>They sit for a minute and scoop Ignoring auto win matchups so many decks reply on link 1+2 this thing sounds amazing
>>545945487we told you ryzeal is the most cancerous deck in existence
>>545961930Ritual beasts auto lose to roach, all 3 charmies, and lancea. They absolutely aren't back.
>>545945487>make laplacian just to get a handripooh i forgot about laplacian, that kinda is a good idea
xyz is the most cancerous and evil mechanic
>>545962346Fusion is objectively the most evil archetype. There are more fusion villains than any other type by far.
>>545962346Every mechanic is. It's just a matter of which is being shilled currently.
>>545962346Nah it's synchro and it's not even close. Synchro always murders those events...
>>545961930Nvm only Eschatos is searchable by Melody of Awakening
Ok there's defo an algorithm at work with this game. There's far too many times I switch to a certain type of deck then all of a sudden it's mirror matches and other things that "give it a challenge" or something of the like. because that use to happen to me when I use to play lab, just played it again after like 8 months of not doing so and all of a sudden it's just mirror matches and decks my deck doesn't work against. Same thing happens if I play with a deck with low representation all of a sudden I'm fighting shit/pet decks. I can't be gaslit into believing konami isn't doing something underhanded in this game.
>>545962346Even the longest xyz comboslop still takes like 1/2 the time of links and 1/4th the time of synchros. So I don't mind playing against them nearly as much.
>>545962346Fusion, Xyz and Synchro have turns skips.Ritual also got a few floodgate cards and one retarded turn skip.Links on the other hand have soft turn skips in v-links, annoying shit in Apo and gumblar loops.Pendulum have a few shitter floodgate cards.I guess that makes Pend the most honest but ugh.
>>545962931Based on what I have calculated it works something like this:If you switch decks you start dueling weaker opponents until it builds up again.The matching gives you priority to people that play similar decks so stun plays with stun often. Monster : spell : trap ratio is also taken into account. If the matchmaking fails to find someone similar it puts you up against whatever
>>545963105Pend is the most honest and it isn't even close. Say what you will about them but that mechanic has never done anything outside the 2 weeks pepe was legal.
>>545962346>>545962440There's 3 banned fusions :Norden, Kitkallos and Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom and 3 limited fusions: Lacrima, Gem Knight Master Diamond and Phantom of Yubel.There's 18 banned Xyzs and 5 Limited ones.Synchros have 5 banned and 3 limited ones.Links have than 20 banned cards and like 5 limited ones, making the most evil by far, Links truly were a mistake.There's more than 20 banned link monster
>the cheatsion that cheats>the synchro that negates>the xyz that floodgates/searches a fucking floodgate>the link 1 that....>the ritual that cheatsevery fucking mechanic is the most evil
>>545963354>link managed to close the 6byear gap between it and xyz as the most cancerouskek
>>545962931Schizo-San....everybody is trying lab because they got their furniture pieces back and if you are in the bottom of Plat or Diamond you will find a lot of people who forgot how to play the archetype or are testing different builds so it is more likely that you will play the mirror.Also a lot of yugitubers are showcasing how they got Epic MAYMAY wins through Erradicator against Sky Striker.So everyone got the same bright idea.I was playing Lab today because in theory it should be good, in theory, in reality Lab isn't that good.Erradicator is good against ONE match up.Only a few times I won looping Dimensional Barrier.
>>545963378except gemini and union. Tribute summons even floodgate
>>545963258>The matching gives you priority to people that play similar decks so stun plays with stun often. Monster : spell : trap ratio is also taken into account. If the matchmaking fails to find someone similar it puts you up against whateverI 100% believe this is the case. There's way too much of a pattern where this is the case.
Is Maliss over, there was no Maliss in the top 8 this week
>>545963584Same guy again, sorry I misunderstood your post.Disregard my comment, I suck cocks.Anyways, I have not had a mirror match in forever.Mostly Sky Striker, Lunalight, Orcust.And one Maliss fucker who actually opened the God hand.The mate is too varied for Floodgate Lab to be good.
the event
>>545963584>I was playing Lab today because in theory it should be good, in theory, in reality Lab isn't that good.How so shouldn't there be a lot turn 0 plays you can do between backjack, rollback, arias and the dominators?
>>545963824Maybe I just suck with the deck and really I was testing a very stupid build but let's say I used Arias to activate Barrier calling Ritual when I saw the Mitsus.My opponent would just smoke me with Ryzeal, Fiendsneed, or Orcust.Or there would be on Sky Striker or Maliss at which point Barrier does fuck all.Lab is too slow for the game nowadays.
>>545963740>all maliss main deck names are banned>fiendslop is unplayable>ryzeal is nuked>synchros are bannedwhat the fuck, a playable format? in my master duel?
>>545963740i'm fucking READY for this

the banlist actually looks good too. floodgates and kashtira and labyrinth cards are banned
A freakin' Protos just shat all over my Lunalight deck

>>545965251>Potoss fag blind calls dark turn 1>I'm playing blue eyesOk retard
>>545965536Okay? Blind calling dark is still objectively correct in this meta.
>>545963740>dragoon in fusion loaner deck>future zexal in xyz loaner deck>maxx c banned>called by banned
>>545965646And that's why I hate protoss. Blind calling an attribute is gay as fuck. It should require a card of the same attribute in the opponents graveyard
>>545963740How can I make predaplants good?
>>545964980> kashtiraLegal in XYZ
>fusion group will be filled with branded>link group will be full of malissI don't know what to expect from xyz since ryzeal is banned

>>545965870galaxy eyes obviously
>>545964980>>545965870
>>545965870Going 2nd Lyrilusc is always popular. Losing Greatfly hurts, but otherwise the deck is unhit.
>>545966174Forgot to add Dimensional Fissure is at 3Marco Cosmo is banned in XYZ
>>545966174Perma ban arise heart. Forever. I hate that jeet deck
>>545966174>>545966314Based
the primite loaner actually looks decentyou can prolly consistently summon berzelius and dragoon t1, and backed up with roar/drillbeamxyz loaner got onomat and galaxy that has triple ascension and tachyon tho, fuckers prolly can have triple omni-negate consistentlythe only one that looks decent in link is unchained, but it doesn't even have yubel shit because, you know, no fusion
>>545966201>Losing Greatfly hurtsdon't you just crash the one that's a mikanko over and over
>>545965408too bad no farting ferrets
>>545966896You can but that requires them to have a body. Greatfly + Assembled kills on an empty board.
All of sudden I like going second with Kash
Guess I'll be on team Xyz with Mimighouls and Fusion with Dinomorphia or Shaddolls this time
Damn
>>545967708>no fun allowed
>>545966174nevermind the game is shit lol
>>545962346Honestly the concept of their strong effects being tied to their materials was good up until the game sped way the fuck up and they got extra free effects on top of that and the effects escalated in bullshit. Also they're retarded when they have ways to cheat themselves out or bullshit themselves extra materials.
>>545965870Link is gonna be filled with Sky Strikers
picking XYZ just because I like the small kashtira engine, and I got no idea what else can work with Myutants besides ghoti
>beat maliss going second with sky strikersI love Raye
>>545963595Do we count the Buster Blader bullshit as union? Because if we do they also aren't free from sin, though I will give them that they aren't as prone to it. The only shit gemini ever pulled was that one time Alias was a good beater and abused their support, and that wasn't that crazy.
>>545963258>If you switch decks you start dueling weaker opponents until it builds up again.I believe this may be the case. Events have a hidden rating that matches you with similarly performing players in the event, so it wouldn't be too surprising if ranked also had a hidden rating in addition to your real rating that tries to match you with players of similar hidden rating who also match your real rating. And the hidden rating may be tied to your deck so that when trying a fully new deck it tries to give you easier opponents to learn the deck with. And maybe that also explains the >switch to new deck >mirror match phenomenon because that guy is also trying out the deck for the first time since it's not a deck that people tend to stick with. Or maybe the hidden rating you start at is based on your deck.
>>545968225>Enjoy the grindy play style of sky strikers>But only for a bitSky strikers is the deck I play once a month when I want slow methodical matches where I slowly rip apart boards
>>545968225Paidra*
I love summoning DPE
>Tenpai player always has Chundra in handStarting to believe that cards being at one gives you a higher chance to draw them
>>545968334I have been enjoying it a lot. Breaking boards that I could never touch with other decks is very fun>>545968352It's just pure Striker with breakers
>>545965776It is kind of cringe to be able to just chuck it out for free after a normal play if your deck plays into the summoning condition and have a 1 in 6 of someone not getting to play the game.
>>545968845>1 in 6Dark has way more representation than that.
>>545968646maybe
>>545968845>it's a big fat brick unless you are already playingit's win-more
>>545968646>Starting to believe that cards being at one gives you a higher chance to draw themPerhaps my most schizo belief about this game is that the MD shuffler has something similar to how Magic Arena's shuffler would tilt your draws away from mana screw/mana flood. IIRC in Magic Arena it wasn't a lot, but they'd try to give you hands with 2-4 lands as opposed to hands with no lands or 5+ lands. In this way I believe MD tries to "declump" your draws by giving your opening hands more 1-of cards than you'd normally get. I think the idea is that you're more forgiving on amateur deckbuilders that don't really understand consistency, and you punish all-in combo decks that play a lot of garnets, which were the majority of tiered strategies around the game's release. It may also explain why they semi-limit so many cards. Limiting it might not make much of a difference if the shuffler gives a big enough boost.
>>545965870Xyz could be Kashtira or Mitsu/Horus
What are the chain blocking strats you guys have to prevent white binder from getting ash blossomed from banish?
>>545970214I usually chain block with Crypter revive effect
>>545969906Also Galaxy-EyesAzamina and White Forest in FusionDiabelle and Snake-eyes tho Oak is still banned there.Blue-eyes got hit hard, no spirit with blue and no synchro
>>545970442How about on the first turn? Some peeps turn off their activation till the gwc banish white binder part just to ash her
>>545970214summon allied code early
What's so good about Lunalights? you imper or ash the Gold Leo and the deck rolls over.
>>545965804Predaplants tear shit up as an OTK deck in low powered events. I've done a bunch of them with like 90%+ winrate. The goal is to place counters on all their shit and summon a Triphyoverutum with 10k+ attack, and a Supreme King Starving Venom to copy its effect and give both piercing.
>>545970624you can do it on the first turn just make crypter before binder
>>545970624That is what I do on the first turn. You can always do it unless you get interrupted multiple times
>>545970932So gwc banish can be triggered with the white binder banish so that they all get resolved at the same time?Hm interesting never thought about it as I wait for the white binder resolve first before doing GWC
Guys.. ive been trying out the White Forest/Azamina deck and it feels like it bricks/dies to any hand trap most games, i dont get it..
>>545971716There's nothing to getThe deck isn't good
>>545971716>ive been trying out the White Forest/Azamina deck and it feels like it bricks/dies to any hand trap most gamesYeah that's about right>i dont get it..See above
>>545971716show your decklist
>>545971930>>545971973No that's exaggerating. The deck's consistency is okay it just dies to droll and maxx c
>>54597213799.9% of decks fold to Maxx c and 85% of modern decks fold to droll
>>545971716idk what you're personally doing but that cancer has retarded amounts of gas
>>545968845Cards that especially fuck metafags are good. That's why Crossout should go to 3.
>>545972025its probably barebones as fuck but like theres no good deck lists online that arent just toy box
>>545971395Oh shit it works you can activate gwc with white binder banish so that you can banish binder/crypter/another maliss name at the same time and chain block it. My opp trying hard to bystial my binder to ash. He was forced to just ash MTP haha
>>545972137Honestly it's not even the worst vs Maxx C. Some hands let you just do one or two summons to set up a couple traps+followup. Not every hand, but that's better than a lot of decks can do.
>>545973051I found the problem. You're only playing 37 main and 9 ed cards. That's pretty bad.
>TCG thinks this should be permabannedwhy can't they just let people have fun in their format
>>545973905you won't find any common sense theretcgcucks are the same retards that banned bahamut instead of the toad
>>545973051>play one more silvy>remove determination>add one more diabellstar>you only need one astellar and one woes>either remove the diabellze package (diabellze and subdual) or remove morrian>remove the board breakers and add handtraps since these won't be enough to break a board typicallySee pic for ED options. If you want to use more of the sinful spoils package you would need to go to like 50. Consider crosssout too to stop handtraps.
>>545973905Those war criminals should be banned though. If I was in charge of MD they'd be the 2nd card I banned after Kitkalos.
>>545974097There are a few more issues than that, but realistically he should just wait for the support next month instead of trying to fix it now.
>>545974232yeah he should wait it's really not good right now compared to what's being played
>Branded almost at full powerFuck you too Konami
>>545975818Confirmed, Branded is now an honest petdeck.
if a card has herald in its name it should be banned
>>545976626*sends a fairy to gy*
>>545975818i'm ready
Maxx C always banned in these events... Like they know it's too strong...
why hit memento
>>545977361it's cancer and no one wants to play against it just like labyrinth
>Lunalight is being pushed>>>Primite loanerPicking Xyz or Link for this event is nothing short of masochism
>>545978206I'll just play this in the fusion group so I don't get matched with those decks.
>>545978206literally the only non maliss hit cyberse/links got is geonator transverser
>>545978736Link will be filled to the brim with Sky Striker players
>>545978914>bring sky striker cosmetics>everyone will make you go first>actually play codetalker megacombo
>>545978736Terrahertz may as well be banned since all the good ed targets are non-link.
>>545973051Here, take my list. You want to use the Fiendsmith cards because they synergize really well. Sticking a Fiendsmith body plus a White Forest tuner lets you get a Synchro 10. PROTIP: Any FS link equipped to a monster counts as a spell you can send for White Forest effects. You used to use the FS line to make Apo, but you can still use it to put up a Caesar. You can also use Sprind+Rextremend+Spright Elf to make it so any 2 monsters gets you to Astellar. Don't play Diabellze in this version. Play 3 Diabellstar, she bridges into the Azamina portion of your deck even if the White Forest stuff gets interrupted. Saint Azamina is optional but I got a royal one. You genuinely don't need 3x Astellar, even 1 is fine. Same goes for Tales. You need 3 Silvy though, it's a 1 card starter and your best normal summon. Astellar and Elzette are a starter with a spell to pitch. Don't play multiples of the traps, just use 1 of Woes and whatever your favorite Sinful Spoils/Azamina trap is. Try to keep a roughly 50/50 White Forest/Spell/Trap ratio. Tactics and Thrust are also ideal for the deck since it gives you some game into Droll/Maxx C resolving. You can search/set Woes which lets you play on your opponent's turn, to some degree.
>>545979064Yeah and you can't really play @Ignister because a Link only version of the deck doesn't enable Darkfluid or the Firewall Link 6. You could go for The Arrival Cyberse to fuck with the Lunalight players though.
>>545963740ez event, turn will be pretty fast.
>>545983482Enjoy your Exodia getting immediately Kaiju'd for Lunalight's sins.
>lunalight only has 1 liger for the eventwait a fucking minute
>Can't cheese this event with Winter CherriesIt's over bros
Is it just me, or are games starting to last longer?
>>545987220Obly because turn 1 has been taking longer and longer to set up
>>545979194nta but I don't have guardian chimera to fuse on opponent's turn, is sinful spoils of the white forest worth playing as an extender or should I replace it with another WF spell/trap?
Time to have fun with suships, could replace primite with small world and more board breakers. Can't think of a replacement for NAsH Knight and Masquerade as utility Xyz.
>>545988182You can swap it for something else. I usually only get it as a bonus, and making Guardian Chimera isn't reliable or even guaranteed if you go uninterrupted, but you need a certain critical mass of WF/Azamina/Sinful Spoil S/Ts to pitch, and Guardian Chimera is a good card. Feel free to replace it with your preferred S/T that recurs itself after being discarded for effect. Aphes is a good choice IMO.
yessir stun was definitely a deck that needed more support
Ban Lava Golem
Exodia is fucking bullshit and I'm tried of pretending it's not
haha the funny letters name has maxx c in a 60 card deck isn't that lucky
>event triangle>fusion XYZ LinkYep it’s fucking SLOP time.
>>545963354>troonCG banlistsNow check the MD one and see it’s XYZ overwhelmingly being the cancer of all. And many more of their cards need to be banned still.
>playing sky strikers>face off against the only person in the entire game running cursed seal of the forbidden spellTell me how the fuck that's possible? I have never seen that card being played literally ever
>>545994434I play cursed seal a lot in edopro just to troll people.
what else should i add into the extra for the fusion, xyz link festival?
>>545994698You forgot super poly in main deck.You could add the Predaplant Try that asks for 3 dark monsters as a super poly target.
>>545994698I was thinking of doing adding a branded engine cause branfu is just another foolish for lunalight hound or martin
>>545987054Is this a good idea to play her on ranked in a meta deck to counter Lunalight + the deck you are playing in a mirror match?Since Apo is banned and finger is at 1 I think she is decent.
KNEEL
>a card that could be searched by all maliss cards and all cybrese cards in existence got limitedwoah... so this is the power of yugioh's banlist...
>>545995693Utopia*Kevin Tewart said Hope is a girl's name
Why do they ban regenesis in this event
>>545996408WHO
>>545996408You WILL say Nanbāzu Sanjūkyū Kibōō Hōpu
>>545963740Will probably regret it but going for dmaid, the lack of seals might hurt but oh well, don't wanna play something I dont know how to use.
>trashtira and tearshit are legal for the eventand skipi ain't playing this garbage
>>545996958>fusion only tearlol
wish I had a better deck for the event but this will work
>>545997078they kept the winda whore legal too so its clearly going to be the worst event ever
>watch some dude play sky striker>more than half his going first wins come from braindead thrust into dimensional barrierjust kill this card already, it's dead in the real format and nips complain about it in their clown show too
>>545996958>CHADtira and CHADlaments filters another plebkek keep improving, rookie
How are gem knights looking for the festival?
>>545999850looking zesty
>>545997205>they kept the winda whore legalAs well they should.
>>545997515>stunnigs = real formatYou were meant to call for Protos ban to shill your trash, not midbarrirer in bo1 with Orcust and Maliss as top decks. Go back to your containment thread you tranny.

Wow Lunalight is fucking garbage

Labrynth
Yeah, I'm thinking KATTOBINGUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTiClBFsa5Y
>>546002590Not him but D Barrier is much weaker in best of 1. Simul Archfiend is stronger and hits all types.D barrier against the top decks is:>oh you cucked my ED line here is Mitsurugi>oh you cucked my Mitsurugi line, here is my EDLike I get the card is toxic but considering shit like Protoss, Hero floodgates and other shits are legal, it’s really not the hill you should die on.
I have yet to find an XYZ deck I like playing
>still facing cards I have never heard about or seen in my life just because I'm playing sky strikersI just faced someone who just ended on this card. Just this card. Why would I be matched with someone like that?
>>546007793It kills mitsu, it kills sky striker, it kills lunalights
Watching Ryzeal get 4 level 4s on field for no cost and having my "what the fuck even is this game" moment. I genuinely hat modern card design. Sticking 1(one) monster should not make you go +10.
>>546008813okay grandpa, let's get you to bed before you hurt yourself
>>546009005I miss Spright...
>>546007048D-barrier hits basically every rogue deck.If the answer is "only play 2 out of the 5 or so viable meta decks to cope" you're insaneban the searchable floodgatesheroes can have plasma because what else are they doing LMFAO
>>546010808>ban this floodgate but leave that one because it’s used in a weak deck or somethingGlad you’re not on the balancing team. Hope D barrier stays legal a few more years just so you seethe more.Either you work towards banning all floodgates and promote actual interaction, or you just shut up.Monster floodgates are searchable too btw and unlike traps outside of Arias setting them, they don’t need a cooldown before activation.I don’t disagree on D barrier needing to go, but then so does every other floodgates especially the monsters.
>>546011725heros keeping plasma was a jokemaster duel needs to implement genesys already. They saw how happy people were with the effective removal of shitty floodgate cards.
I give up on making Sky Strikers work. I just got turn skipped by some Ryzeal animal. The worst thing you can ever do in this garbage game is letting your opponent play.
>>546012215Good. Now play a real deck that requires thinking.
>>546012215play board breakers
>>546012424You don't know what you are talking about>>546012589That's what I was doing
>>546012185If that was a joke then sorry.I’m just too used of listening to Hero niggers thinking their deck is honest and cool when it’s just floodgate turbo 90% of the time so I assumed that’s what you went for.Anyway, slowly but surely floodgates getting removed but the timing at which it happens is why Konami can’t be trusted.Like the anti spell right before Striker support but at the same time we get support for more locks.Like legit if Morgana was more about shitting out counter trap and not paying LP, it’s still a NO but it’s not as bad as floodgates AND the NO.
>>546012215What turn skip did they use?When will Konami learn that rank 4 needs to be nuked from orbit too btw. It’s the worst and most toxic rank in this fucking game.
>>546012770>activate boardbreaker>activate engage>do sky striker combos until your opponent finally uses their interactions>normal summon paidra no thinking required
>>546012973Tellarknight Ptolemaeus
>>545999850>1 Brilliant FusionThis isn't a big deal.>no Phantom QuartzThis really sucks. It lowers your extension, makes it harder to get Hollowcore from hand to GY, gives you one less way to bait out interruption, kills your ability to recycle resources, and means you have to be more careful with your zones/summons since you can't just link down your board.I'm sure it's still fine, but it's enough for me to not want to play the deck.
Genuinely do not understand how anyone saw any success with Lunalights, its all high roll with NO game into handtraps whatsoever. Even assuming it can do the combo and get hit with a handtrap because it runs like 8 engine requirements that fuck up hands.
>>546012215This is why I actually think going first Striker is better in MD. There's too much risk of the opponent playing some FTK/pseudo-FTK tier combo deck.You can just drop the raigekis for cards that do well going first or second like Super Poly and hand traps and the deck still does well going second.
>>546012215I saw someone turn skip with that around a month ago, doesn't seem optimal since it's not used frequently and it remains untouched.
>group eventargI wanted to play libromancer but I can't if the mathmech xyz are banned
>>546013028Absolutely disgusting.Ban all rank 4 please.
>go first>don't get to play>go second>don't get to play
>>546014091>try to play yugioh>don't get to play
>>546013585sounds like skill issue
>>546012994You sometimes don't draw them, or not enough since one is never enough. Also, considering you don't even try to put resistance in their combo, you sometimes facing FTK version of ryzeal, its fucking disgusting. The only real version of SS is the Tenpai, i believe in that shit now. Only way to win is to be unfair too.
Yugioh's problem as a game is that it's the anime made playableAll of the impossibly powerful monsters only make sense when there's someone scripting the duels to be as exciting as possible
>>546015858>Only way to win is to be unfair too.Honestly the only way to have fun and win in this game is to pick whatever meta slop you tolerate the most and add a bit of your own flair to it.
>>546016042I just started recently so I'm still learning, Maliss is the first top tier I use and honestly I had ton of fun with it. Especially since its full femaleI hate long combo slop usually so yeah, I'm checking right now what's coming and K9+Dracotail might be good. I'm only worried, it looks pretty "fair" and very "skill based" deck so I might get my ass handled unlike Maliss where their uninterrupted T1 is disugustingly good.
>>546016430Dracotail is the most fair of the 3 we are getting with K9 and Yummy. But on the bright side it’s splashable with a ton of fusion decks like Branded, Shaddoll etc etc… so I’ll be investing in that after White Forest support finally decides to show itself.
>>545963740>domain of the true monarch is bannedFuck, I wanted to play none of these archetype and just floodgate my opponent.
>>546015973That reasoning makes no sense because for much of the game's life anime cards have been the worst. Anime duels don't make it so every modern deck needs to have every starter be an extender so interrupting them feels impossible, especially when we've not had new anime to source cards from in 5 years.
>>546014080assuming ryzeal summon to all 5 monster zones, how does it fill this with materials?
>>545995195You need to run like 6+ ed monsters for her to be consistently useful in ladder. That's her main drawback. She's basically an instawin against troonalights, orcust and blue eyes and is somewhat helpful against malpiss
>>546016809Yummy is for faggot, K9 can't be played pure and Dracotail has some women in it so I might play it. Would have kept Maliss if I didn't brick all day ever since the two latest banlist. I swear my hands became 10x worse. Will see which variant of Dracotail I'll use. Also have to check whats the latest endboard for Maliss since I'm not optimal yet on it.
>>546017597Unless your definition of pure precludes generic rank 5s, K9 absolutely can be played pure
>>546017087Not talking about cards featured in the anime but the way things go from 0 to 310 in an instant, all gas and no brakesA full board of negates only makes sense from the perspective that the other player draw the exact out and plays through it for a cool momentThis can be paced and scripted in a tv show but not a real game. One card from the top of the deck leading to an OTK is cool at the end of a 3-episode duel but not in a real game where the OTK player also prevented you from playing in the first place
>>546017296plugin and ooze giant. onomat fills the 5 monster zones without even trying
>>546017883I dont know, I just watch the usual suspects and they all say pure K9 isn't up to the task of facing the top tier meta decks.
>>546017913That wasn't how the game was played until around 12 years ago and even then we didn't go as far into combos as we are now until around 2017, for a decade of the anime being around decks were much slower and OTKs much more niche. So no it's not the anime, it's the nature of powercreep and yugioh's lack of resource system. There's really no ceiling on how strong cards can get which is how we reached now where every start can extend and do a full line that goes +8 through handtraps for no cost. The next step is turn 0 plays, one day we could get starters that activate from deck.
Isn't Nib super good right now? People can't just make Apo before summon 5 anymore.
>>546019061Any competent Ryzeal player is basically immune to it
>>546019061it's better with apo gone but I wouldn't call it good with mitsu around and all their shit triggering off tribute
>ban most statues and scythe>troonCG uses water statue in Mitsu and Impcantation Bookstone with PrincessThose faggots just can’t help themselves.
>>546019061yeah, nib is super good in the mitsu/ryzeal/towers meta
>>546019447>he says while playing MD
>>546019447As a player in a competitive environment you find the most effective way to win. If that way to win is unfun and involves making your opponent unable to play at all the fault is on the designer's hands not the player.
>>546019816>this cope againPlayers cultivate the environment. And they proudly endorse floodgating and locking. Don’t compare Yugioh to an actual sports thank you very much. They’re the faggots, not Konami.
>>546020243>>546019816Both are faggots actually. A lot of people play without them. It's only the subhumans that play dirty with them to win. Of course Konami are incompetent and shit for allowing it.
>>546020243Konami cultivate the environment by designing the cards and running the tournaments. Players can't ban each other for playing floodgates. Where did I compare it to a sport? It's a game, and players will find the best way to win. Konami's game designers should make sure that way is interactive.
>>546020608Players cultivate it. Konami only lays the foundations. Some players never side anything cringe or toxic and it’s proof they’re better than most.And the winner didn’t have any locks. Now shove that “it’s competition” cope far up your faggot ass for defending that type of play.
>>546020940Those plays shouldn't exist but again the source of it is the people making the cards that do them. Pretending it's anything else is stupid. They could have banned every statue but chose not to.
>set up respectable board>Lava golem>Turtle>Feather duster>Seethe>They sit for a moment then scoopHeh. You still need to run starters faggot
>>546019447>impcantation locklmao, I love how stupid this game is sometimes
>Playing sky strikers>Every opponent ends on a tower>Put HAMP in my deck>Towers suddenly disappear
>>546019304They typically tribute all their own shit before resummoning them anyway, and those effects are once per turn. Just don't make your toggle obvious and let them full combo and then tribute them near the end of their combo.
>>546026248What do you do when Lunalight ends on two of them?
>>546019061One day you will understand that apoloser was a boogeyman scapegoat and every good deck sequences around nib without her. Heck fiendsmith shits out Caesar through the same exact line.
What are you playing?Yes
>>546026453Surrender
>>546026873>running brick magician, red-bricks black brick and buster bricker in brick-eyes
>>546027253He lost. Shocking, I know.
>>546026453It's possible to stall for a turn to HAMP them again. I know that Lunalight is very good at OTKing, and maybe it's just that players aren't experts with the deck, but in my experience SS can put up fine enough turn 3 disruption to deal with followup, and a linkage to put up blockers after their leftover Liger. Not at all easy, but doable.If they're running 3 Liger then you cry though.
>>546028182Can't they just hold their negate for the recursion spell?
>>546028182They only need 1 liger to kill you though, they just increase its attack by 3k with sabre dancerDon't really matter what you try and wall with, they're swinging twice with 6800 attack
>Cannot climb to save my life with strikerI think I'm too dumb for this deck....
>>546029062magu6o couldn't do it either and switched to ryzeal. the deck is shit just give up.
>>546029062engage chain linkage and summon zero do be hard to understand and play optimally
>has the nickame maliss are bums>proceed to floodgate me with his buster blader shitNever change faggot.
>>546026873These niggers somehow always manage to open the most cracked hand in existence.
>>546028787Liger doesn't pierce without Wolf on the field so Linkage>Zero>Pop Wolf+tag into Raye+Roze in defense can block it.>>546028764Sure but it's not like that's the only thing Striker has of value.
>>546029521I think he means link climbing into Accesscode
>>546030231He's playing 55 cards for consistency after all
>>546017087Correct, hence why Rush Duels is the future and only possible format that is actually playable.
>how to easily fix the game
>>546029062The only good version of the deck is going 2nd with tenpai.
>>546033551>let's hit all other ritual monsters with banning pre-pre instead of limiting habakiri to 1
>>546033978I put habakiri to 1 + you shouldn't get to go plus for free
>>546033978Other ritual monsters?
>>546034047>you shouldn't get to go plus for freeThis shitty argument again, the plus is only relevant if you're plusing into actually good things and can play around disruption.
>>546034179good ritual decks still do fine without pre-prep.
>>546034079Mostly petdecks
>been busy as shit since new meido was finally added>sweet lets get the bundle>get pic relatedthat easy eh
>>546026873I played a version of this that had 3 blues eyes and relied more on the blue eyes engine to spam the board to get verte for goon and used all the normal blue eyes for the primite fusion and the normal magia line. Basically cut blue eyes synchros for the normal lines for goon
>>546033551>>>Vertelmao
>>546034320>good ritual decksof which there exist one and a half
>>546037660Mitsu, Drytron, Voiceless, Mikanko. There's 4.
>>546037660Excuse me, but Vendread just got some nice support which means there's now 1.5001 good ritual decks.
>>546033551>verte>moon>super poly>lanceamoron
I am so fucking glad none of you have anything to do with game balance
>>546038153>cheats out a fusion for free>bridges into fiendslop>uninteractive shit>lingering turnskip card
Just revealed habakiri outside your house, open the door.
>>546037959Drytron and mikanko can't run pre-prep, dummy.
i am so fucking sick of fucking cocksucking tear trannies in this fucking game. why is this fucking deck still allowed to exist and compete. ban kit ban every main deck tear name ban fucking everything about this abortion of a fucking archetype>but it's not winning anythingi don't fucking care every time i run into it on ladder they open the best hand possible and wonder of wonders i have no handtraps in my opening handi want every single tranny piece of filth that plays this garbage to be executed by scaphism
I can't fucking climb with sky sissies so how good is lunalight? I have most of the cards except the fusion monsters. If it's not good then I'll just go back to Maliss I guess
Master Duel flickers black or just straight up goes entirely black often for some reason. Started happening after an update at some pointAnd it's not my monitor or cables playing tricks on me because the cursor remains on the screen and alt+tabbing or pressing the windows key makes the game normal again for a whileDoes anyone else have this issue or found a way to solve it? Googling has not gotten me any useful answers
>>546037959calling mikanko a ritual deck is a stretch
>>546040108>Master Duel flickers black or just straight up goes entirely black often for some reason. Probably your graphic card
>>546040448It only happens in Master Duel and no other game, though
>>546037959if mikanko and drytron could run preprep maybe they'd be tiered instead of shitdecks.
>>546040634maybe some corrupted files?
>>546040634did you update some nshittia drivers?
>>546040079Your Blue-Eyes, good sir?
>>546040826I've tried verifying files through Steam but it says everything's as it should be>>546040843Yes even though I should have learnt my lesson back when they messed up DirectX12 in Rise of the Tomb Raider and never patched the patch to fix it
>>546041060waiting for the rerun of blue eyes pack, no way i'm crafting so many UR.
>>546033551blow it out your ass teartranny
>>546041643It's a secret pack. Craft a sage to unlock it. Or a Destined Rivals to also get a free pull from the DM pack.
>>546041643I think they already added the support in the secret pack
>>546039845>>546040696You said good ritual decks, not decks that can run pre-prep. Stop moving the goalpost.
>liger dancer limited in the xyz, fusion, link trianglenow it loses to HAMP

is pure orcust good or is it only viable with fiendslop and millenium cards?
Free Chaos Ruler
>>546043365It's good either way but adding an additional engine has no real downsides and plenty of upsides. Pure is a bit too bricky.
>>546020243>>546020508>>546020940>you cant hate on cards like maxx c unless you take them out of your deck
>>546043365every endboard is brittle as paper at the moment if you're not running multiple backrow negates or graveyard floats
>>546043738What is the usual standard board like anyways, link 3 setup to steal monster with field spell, omninegate and is there anything else?
>>546043824Be the change you want to see.
>>546044179Unironically running less maxx c would show the devs that its a "fine" card and therefore they won't have any pressure to do anything about it. Not like they're doing anything now but still
>>546044007Also Ding send 1, IP, and World Crown.

Can I turn titles during matchmaking off? I don't like how the game shames me for not playing events for titles, so I have like nothing after nearly four years.
>>546046508I did, I was playing striker and he made me go first every time
>>546046787Did you buy gemmies or use your stockpile?
>rank down game>kash nigger goes first>normal summons water statue
>>546046893My stockpile. That's probably why that assassin targeted me
I was done with my fiendshit combo, if they had a roach/fuwa they would have used it 10 summons ago
>branded and trannymorpia basically unhit>mementoes got two big hits when they are gonna suck at this eventgod playing against fusions is gonna suck hard
>>546042930>gato negato stratwhat is that?
Literally my only ranked today against this.Well done Konami you fucking morons.
>Read the new Dusk / Mutiny cards>RealizationThis deck is fucking unbeatable against the meta.You can just recycle Phantom of Yubel.Super Poly deals with EVERYTHINGJust crash into the Lunalights and the Mitsus.Make Tenpai and Gem Knight want to kill themselves.You have effect activations for days.Stun nigs need a very specific combination to beat you.Even Sky striker is not well equipped to deal with this.You can trigger a deck out through Maxx C and Fuwalos.
>>546048604Very Funny Deck.Do they just hard open the Vanity's Fiend or is it searchable through Tachyon?
>>546040634Same shit happens to me. If it's not full screen and I click off it displays like normal. Only while being the active window it goes black. If you have an AMD card that's likely it. I fucking hate AMD
>>546049171Opened with featherduster, seventh tech, 1 starter for mitsu and 1 starter for ryzeal and impern.I went first with 0 HT.
>>546044538Honestly nuts it hasn't been hit more when it's in 90 something percent of decks. It doesn't even stop anything degenerate from happening, it just makes you a degenerate along with your opponent. I don't think I've ever lost a game where my opponent plays into it except a couple where they managed to bullshit Droll into their hand.
>>546049247>I fucking hate AMDIt is incredible how these bozos are still around. I am going to be a guinea pig and try Intel Arc just to make sure that AMD is the shittiest GPU around.Intel in paper got AMD beat in all departments.Cheap because no one wants to risk it.More raw power and lower energy consumption.I need to know however if is compatible with anything at all.
>>546048935>goes second into 4 mat detonatorI am loving buio in unchained though. It'd be crazy if it was a light fiend.
>>546049171>Vanity's Fiend or is it searchable through TachyonYes, it is. But he got another ryzeal starter instead because he got feather in hand and drew fuwa
The new fairy support kinda works in purrely, any tech I am sleeping on?
>>546049380Wait you went first or you mean the MD classic "Second NO HT"?Because the later is that decks win con, that thing looks crapstatic going second.
>>546048935you know I was already considering building Yubel at some point, maybe this'll be what finally gets me to do it cause this seems very obnoxious
>>546048935please explain further/post decklistI'm a retardI've had the full Yubel engine/list/support, everything, since it came out but barely touched itplease explain
>>546049247he already said in another post that he uses nvidiaI know nothing about their GPUs, but my AMD CPU with integrated graphics runs MD with no issues at all
>>546049717>goes second into 4 mat detonatorActually you can.If you can get to any Yubel monster and opened Super Poly, they are cooked.Even Detonator is not game on its own, not even with Cross.The combos are hard and I am still brewing.
>>546037959Counting manko as a ritual deck is dishonest lolThe ritual spell card is bad and the card they use to bring the ritual out is a "special summon ignoring conditions"
>>546049942I went first, no HT in hand, he Fuwas, I set up a mitsu board with 2 negates, he goes seventh tach, searches ext ryzeal, summon it's, get the sword ryzeal, start his mitsu engine, get purification, Habakiri on board, dumps the Aggregator, had the feather duster set.Attacks, negate the negate, half my board is gone, passes.Activates featherduster on my turn and that was gg.
>>546050015He is talking about Yubel / Mutiny in the Sky / Buio the Dawn's Light / Luce the Dusk's Dark / Fiendslopengine.Basically you have a Wall that reflects with Yubel, a beater with FS Desirae and with Luce the Dusk's Dark they're unaffected and even if you lose FS Desirae and Luce the Dusk's Dark due to battle to, you can recover them quickly because the Fiendslop engine just vomits monster out.
>YOU HAVE LOST THE GAME DUE TO INACTION-NIGGA MAKE A FUCKING SOUND OR SOMETHING, YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO FUCKING LOOK AT YOUR 30 MINUTE COMBO, SUCK MY DICK
>>546048935>Read the new Dusk / Mutiny cards>You can just recycle Phantom of Yubel.yea, but did you read phantom? phantom can't be recycled by mutiny since it can't be used as a fusion material, otherwise they'd have done that long ago to use a phantom in GY to summon another phantom
>>546050015I am still brewing with this and bear in mind I lack cards like Duke of Demise which is an UR but goes very well with the deck.I am not sure if mutiny should be 1 or two off and the ratios are screwy.The idea is that Dawn's light can get you into anything for the way this works, it is extension and can be sent to the GY through Aerial Eater if you got everything you wanted. So even if your Samsara or Beckoning Beast is negated you can still make the fiendsmith line or go for the unchained line.I really like having two traps, because MD shuffler is funneh and these are both great but bear in mind there are two of them because my previous build used Shyama.Mutiny is insane, it just makes anything you could want but Magnum and Loving Defender.Super poly is just great and sticking a yubel is not that hard.Anything that cannot be super poly like Lunalight Liger just triggers your alt win con.Dusk does so much for the deck providing protection, reason I still need to master this deck because that protection effect is no joke. I mean Detonator was already mentioned.Sky Striker cannot use board wipes to eat the field either. They really need to get into Lemnis Gate but they need to jump through a lot of hoops to resolve one that can beat the end board.Evenly kind of cooks you but no one is playing that thanks to Maliss and Orcust.
>>546051423this is why I hate cards that say something along lines "choose 3 random cards, ur opp adds one of them to ur hand" fuck off with that shit
>>546049837You should really play the Ghostrick version if you're running Kambu. That's the best use of the free body.
>>546051640You can still recycle it with throne and Abo.Yeah, I was thinking Mutiny since you are shuffling the cards would override that clause.
>>546053127>Abo.no, like, read phantom, its not hard, i promise
>>546042619you listed 1 good ritual deck, 1 average ritual deck, 1 awful ritual deck and 1 deck that doesn't even ritual summon 90% of the time
>>546053391It cannot be used as fusion material but you can still recycle it with Throne, and you can trigger Throne with Abo.What I was getting at initially is that I thought you could shuffle it back with Mutiny, which is still incredible.Also I forgot fiends had a searchable Kaiju through tract.This deck is nutty
>>546038052>but Vendread just got some nice supportNo, zombie pile got support and by extension Vendread but Dark Necromancer is far from making Vendread viable.
>>546054834>ViableNo Tier 3 deck is viable, but it makes it playableZombies are missing a good link monster Yuki fucking sucks dick
Jesus that new support sky striker got made them 1000x more resilient. How the fuck do you kill this deck now?
Btw Harpie's Feather Storm is legal in the event.
>>546054624then no need to mention abo since throne does the work, like you have so many options to trigger throne, why even specify abao
>>546055328You gotta bring it to 'em

I cant seem to draw any of these cards when I need them but when I dont want them, I get nothing but them. Im not even running a modern deck that has access to any one card combos, so this is a brick.

So, who used all 6 eFootball tickets? I haven't used any of mine. I think the Neymar wallpaper would look ugly in my collection of waifu wallpapers, but the Neymar protectors could be good when playing a troll deck.
https://files.catbox.moe/qgas3m.webmBonus: Maliss trannies eat SHIT
Idk what you guys were saying before saying lab is bad but I've play a good chunk of games with lab today and it's been performing pretty well. Now idk whether I should keep more of the floodgates like simul archfiends and D.barrier or add more points of interaction like ice dragon prison and dogma punishment, only because adding more floodgate feels like I'm playing a guessing game between the meta decks and so many piles are running around. but overrall being able to play the game at any point feels really nice. Also does anybody have any more good traps I can use?
>>546070968dynamite ftk
>>546070968Blowout traps like simul and barrier are still worth playing but you’re not supposed to shotgun them.This is the list I play, you can fill the ED with more chaos angel and such, I just only have 1 copy.As for good traps, daruma is the essential one. Trap trick etc etc. Equations is not good right now but will become better again at some point, the problem is that Malice and Ryzeal can’t be hit by it and Mitsurugi can dodge it by chaining the spells to tribute, or a trap.
>>546071593I hate playing that spell/trap virus but I have to with sky strikers running around(although the support is so good that they can play though that)>Blowout traps like simul and barrier are still worth playing but you’re not supposed to shotgun them.I don't shotgun them but I've been play against a lot of piles so sometimes the blowout traps are just useless.
>>546072938The EEV one is what I would cut first too yeah once SS is gone. Full force virus however is extremely good into the meta decks because their starters are almost all under 1500 defense.Also I might add Santa Claws because Purrely + Lunalight are cancer if I don’t have Arias and Daruma in hand.
>>546068746Seems super unlikely. Why would a furfag like summoned skull? There's no overlap at all.
>>546073592It was revealed to me in a dream.

>>546080483Lunalight is garbage. You won't see that deck at all by the end of the month.
>>546080926If I'm still seeing Orcust running around then we'll definitely be seeing Lunalight for a while
>>546081868You've legit got brain damage if you think Orcust is weaker than Lunalight.

>>546082545>Using MDM as a indicator of anythingok
>>546082710>The tournament aggregator is wrong actually, my furry waifu deck is secretly the best deckWhatever you say sis.
>>546082710>You can't just use data driven resultsTrue, we should just go off vibes now.
the graveyard should not be allowed to have effects like this in it
>>546084240>MDM Tournament results>Data-drivenYeah, by bad data maybe. Besides the fact that it's an entirely different format (BO3 with side decking VS BO1), the sample size is also pitiful. And it's not even a representative sample. A lot of people in these tournaments aren't even necessarily using what they think is the strongest deck, plenty of competitors just show up with decks that just came out/got updated for the novelty. If you want to use MDM tiers to get a general "feel" for the metagame and what will be popular on ladder then fine, but don't pretend it's an authoritative source on what's the best archetype. Do you really think that Pure Orchust is the best deck in the format? Or do you think a skilled player went on a tear in the most recent MDM tournament?
>>546087098>plenty of competitors just show up with decks that just came out/got updated for the novelty.Which is the only reason Lunalight is on the tier list at all.

What deck to look forward if I like nonlinear/toolbox/interactive decks like sky sissies, lab and vanquish soul?
chinkponent opened the one of called by?that's a report
>>546090014AND crossout AND rivalry of warlords btwbut no I'm just a schizophrenic chud
>>546090014it being at one 1 doesn't mean it won't ever be drawn
>>546089908>vanquish souless>nonlinearYeah maybe before Holy Sue & K9
>>546089908Fucking nothing, those get hit the quickest.
>>546090206I will never forgive furfags
>>546089908Well besides the Vanquish Soul support there's stuff like Dracotail which is more about optimizing 2-card combos to set up a recursive advantage loop. It reminds me of VS/Lab in that way, nothing you do immediately wins the game but you accrue advantage until your opponent can't keep up. I'm also keeping my eye on the new lore archetypes like Artmage and DoomZ. They seem fun without being crazy OP like Snake-Eyes was but I'm not 100% sure how they play.
>>546090543>Artmage and DoomZdidn't they flop in ocg
>>546087098not to mention the tourney timing is conveniently past midnight nip/chink time which lead to non participation from those ladder infesting bugmen
>>546089908Yummy
>>546090647I couldn't tell you about their power level but I wouldn't hold much stock in the OCG's way of playing. They tend to be overly "Orthodox", and only play decks the way they're meant to be played. Like Runick only being played as a stun deck rather than as part of a combo engine. Any deck that only really has an ED summon type lock is ripe for experimenting.
>harpie feather duster from 26 cardsAlways the right card. Always.
But really how the fuck do they do it? I break their board and have 3 powerful sets and the draw is fucking duster. How do they do something like that and why does Konami allow it?
I looked at their deck. It's nothing but fucking bricks. But the right card is what was drawn. Right
>>546090647Yes, but that just means Konami will print some absolute bullshit to force them into the meta since literally no one cares about them. >>546092652If you're reliant on back row you should protect it.
>>546060303It saves both people time to scoop when you know you can't win. The quests aren't hard, you can do pretty much any of them in like 2 actual games if you're playing a decent deck for it.
>>546092652The duster was a brick that was sitting in their hand turn 1 and prevented them from stopping you because they played it instead of a handtrap.
>>546093725There was only one card in hand and it was known.>>546093420>just go second and break a board and have a negate bro
>>546094007If you can't kill your opponent going 2nd then you deserve to lose. Like it or not that's the game and has been for nearly a decade.
>white binder has a 78% win rate when playedI think that's the highest I've ever seen a normal boss monster, outside of the ones at the end of really high roll combos like Charles/Kali Yuga. Fucking ridiculous.
>>546095463https://www.masterduelmeta.com/top-cards#win-rate-(summoned)L10 Tenpai and Diabell are both normal boss monsters that are higher. Terahertz too, but that's in the same deck as White Binder.
>another notice about apollousa alt artthey really don't want to piss of the whales
>>546098542I remember when people were doubting me when I said konami didn't want to ban appo because of the alt art. Now I'm just laughing at konami bending themselves over to appease the players who pulled for her
>>546099602Appeasing the whales is objectively correct from a business perspective.
i ran into the only motherfucker who runs 2 sets of raye and roze
oh sure lose the coin 4 times in a row rank down fuck you
>>546057342by this metric nobody should be seething at wf/az/fs right? This deck can only play if they win coinflip
>>546062589>this happened over 5yrs ago and resulted in those retards getting banned from HIS events >meanwhile paper fags like Joshua continue to play in cardboard/MD events after cheating Unlike Komoney, HE has superior rule enforcement
>>546063059paper is riddled with cheating, both intentional and accidental.
>>546104483Unironically yes. WF has never been especially good. People only dislike it because its slow as fuck because it plays white cards.
>gaia should arrive in MD soonSo many good cards for Exodia deck... Too bad Village is banned.
>games regularly go beyond 5 turns nowwait what happened?
>>546106323sky strikers is healthy for the game
>>546106323maybe if you post this every thread it'll come true
this shit fucking hype as fuck
>>546107271Invoked Purgatrio was always the only Invoked card I actually liked (aside from Augoides).
>>546106323Not surrendering until turn 5 doesn't mean you didn't lose during turn 1.
>>546107271OTK'ing through a full field with Poggerstrio and UCT always feels good
P.U.N.K is just synchro maliss with how much it draws. It's just as disgusting to go against. Abhorrent garbage
>>546068675Quant broYou had white+other quant name+zetan,you could have used white hand effect and then throw red to the gy and do your fiendsmith "bait" combo before using your normal summon
>>546109138man who has only ever seen maliss, seeing his second deck>hmm, getting some real maliss vibes here
>>546088082>>546088241>I want to banish stuff from my opponent so they can't recover their shit and go into full comboYou already know the archetype that does that, but you refuse to play them.
>>546092547>>546092652Don't play ladder until Konami has banned Protos and Duster.And crippled Ryzeal even more.

>>546114218no they don't casually draw as part of their combo it's just a fuck you after they are done

>>546115553people in gold are playing shitdecks with 40 random 1-ofs from legacy packs, you can play literally anything
>>546089908Dark World has some pretty non linear gamessince it's one and only 2 card combo only gets you a couple draws, you need to wing it with whatever you draw
>>546113347The surprise was a free RDA structure deck login campaign, and 16 Secret Packs (for the decks that'll be used in the tournament) being available in the shop for a while + free pulls.
>>546113347Also, OCG players can get limited edition VTuber tokens by completing missions in Master Duel.

>>546119076no you're not
>>546118856IRL or in-game?I don't think tokens are a thing you can customize in MD, but how do in-game missions result in an IRL product?
>>546118856>OCGWhy not just give them to everyone playing in MD, having a different art for tokens is nice.

how do people play strikers without drawing roze? what a shit card
people still falling for sky striker and/or branded bait only to realize that they then have to grind with those decks for 10000000000 hoursits just not fun long term, objectively
>>546121190what unit of measurement did you use to measure fun
you missed the most important part>have to grind with those decks for 10000000000 hours just to barely make them rogue tier
Finding a way to combo into a winning board state through interruptions and bad hands is more fun than le epic back and forth grind games, there I said it.

However, this has not been officially confirmed to be a global campaign yet.Free Structure Deck>Players who log in to the game during this period will receive 1 Structure Deck: Crimson Powerforce.>Additionally, 16 Secret Packs will be unlocked in the Shop during the campaign period, with a free pack pull available (although it's not yet confirmed if this is 1 pull entirely or 1 per-pack!)>Finally, special collaboration Token Cards will be available through a raffle held via the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist Point Reward Program, which can be entered by completing special Master Duel missions. This part of the campaign will run until November 30th, 12:59 JST - but as the DP program is currently region locked to Japan expect the same here.
>>546125852>(although it's not yet confirmed if this is 1 pull entirely or 1 per-pack!)I can't see konami give away 16 free packs like that
Anyone made it to master with Strikers? I'm struggling real bad in Diamond 3
So this format will be Onomat / Ryzeal / Featherduster/ Protos vs Mitsurugi / Fiendsmith / Millennium / Kali Yuga and whoever goes first and has more gas, wins?Seriously this game is so cooked.Oh and both can play either Barrier Statue of Drought or Fossil Dyna.I have no words for the retarded decisions made at Konami.
>>546129294Ban all XYZ. Problem solved. They have the most cancer out of any archetype. Floodgates, hand loops and locks are their bread and butter.Then ban the problematic Links.
>>546129663>Ban all XYZ.Link is far more cancerous.Because it sends material to the GY, while XYZ keeps it locked onto the field.Like I don't know if Maliss could out Onomat / Ryzeal / Featherduster/ Protos but I'm pretty sure that Mitsurugi / Fiendsmith / Millennium / Kali Yuga beats Maliss because Kali Yuga shuts off everything, even spell and trap cards.
>every single fucking game is "maxx c resolved? you lose"it's amazing this game lasted as long as it did
>doomkek
>>546130510Depends on the deck. If droll wasn’t so prevalent I’d be playing deckout Tearlaments and they would need 100 cards in main deck to not lose.But the biggest problem of Maxx C is:>go first>full combo>next turn draw phase>shotgun maxx cThat card does NOT stop combo at all and pissants should stop that cope.

>>546133661Not sure, just tuned in. Here's the list though
>>546134141>3 tract 1 sanctthat looks excessive
>>546134261it's not. fiendsmith bridges to unchained and unchained bridges to fiendsmith (obviously, moon exists). unchained has zero good starters, so maxing out on fiendsmith is a good idea.

>>546134141i gotta learn from this guy and stop playing bad 3-ofs just because I like them
tfw actually struggling against fire king bot while trying to learn lunalightsam I ass or is this a horrible matchup
>>546118942it was said that if someone already had the structure they give 500 gems instead
>>546137412Why not learn the deck in ranked like a real man?
Am i getting matched with the worst dragonmaid pilots in the world, or is the deck actually dogshit? I think I haven't lost to them once since the update. Now Sky Striker is a different story, that deck is a menace.
>>546138578probably both, it's still not good after the new cards, and there's a lot of people in other platforms talking about 'how cheap the deck is' and how it's 'good for beginners' so people get suckered into it without realizing they're one interruption away from losing any game
>>546138578dragonmaid is not a playable deck in modern terms by any stretch.
>>546138578They cute so they good :3
>>546118942https://ygorganization.com/master-duel-surprise-information/>By logging in from the start of the campaign, until December 5th, 12:59 (JST), you can obtain 1 Crimson Powerforce Structure Deck. Or, if you already have purchased it, you get 500 gems instead.
>>546138772>and how it's 'good for beginners' so people get suckered into it without realizing they're one interruption away from losing any gamethis shit is so funny to me, I don't know why there are people still recommending it to new playerssure it's cheap with the SD but then they play it and end their turn after one ash and get otk'd
>>546138182because I don't like going to timeout every game while reading my cardsI can already do that with ritual beast and I don't even need to read
>>546139528because people see that basically the entire deck is in the pack and their immediate thought is "wow I don't have to roll anything for this!" not questioning why it's like that in the first placeunironically tempted to scrap my Lady's after trying to make the deck work, it's like pulling teeth trying to use it against literally any deck with a single negate on its endboard
>>546138578you play it for sexual desire
>>546139528Probably because it doesn't have too many lines for the beginning duelist to remember. Try teaching Salamangreat to someone and see how quickly they stop caring. It only falls flat in practice because of the amount of people that refuse to rank up or just reroll accounts that they get overwhelmed anyways.
>>546118620time to install this shit again
So far today everytime someone would normally surrender instead its "Connection Failed". Are people just pulling there ethernet cable now or are the servers really that shitty?
I am not to interested in skystriker but how much use can onomat get me i like xyz decks and main sprigans.
>>546140319>time to install this shit againWhy are you here?
>>546140663Onomats already had some decent endboard pieces and these new cards both give you one more and make getting to them basically effortless, I would honestly say it's a good deck but the biggest weakness will always be Nib
>>546140084I wanna learn cyberslope but I'm too scared, their turn last 10 min and I'm not the smarted to remember every lines

Okay just found a way to Make Kali Yuga with Raidraptors and Mitsurugi.It's much cheaper than this build.https://www.masterduelmeta.com/top-decks/master-i/november-2025/mitsurugi/hobeng/KeYJr
>>546144329https://ygorganization.com/master-duel-surprise-information/A bunch of nostalgia and waifu deck secret packs mostly. The kinds you would expect to be played by entertainers who aren't super into Yugioh.Not clear if you get 1 of each or get to choose 1.
This format is so fucking boring. When are the new decks being released?
>>546144726Thanks for the list anon.
Dragon rulers need retrained baby rulers that double as interaction in banishment only if the big ruler is in grave or banish.
>>546145819would the deck be playable if the only change was errating the opt on the rulers to not be only one effect
>>546142187Puts some panties back on
>>546144436Why Mitsurugi for the Gimmick Puppet when you can already get the RUM off Bardiche or playing the early Wise Strix line?
>play against Gimmick Puppet deck>they activate the field spell>sees priority pass to me>instantly surrendersOkay then.
>>546146091Probably would be a bit much. They're kind of generic, I'd honestly be concerned about them being too strong if you let them let them activate 2 of their effects a turn, let alone all 3.
>>546146091It would help but probably not enough. They're very resource heavy since everything is a 1.5 to 2.5 card combo from hand or grave. I'd honestly trade the towers for more disruption access>>546147448Seems more like a dragon link side grade. Their effects need a corresponding attribute to use from hand which is more situational unless you're playing a mono attribute affect. As a deck, it would do little for them but they would see more play literarily anywhere else.
>>546146390pretty much
>>546147797>unless you're playing a mono attribute affectMono attribute deck. Multi tasking is fun
>>546147797Blaster would probably be fine, the real offender would probably be Tidal being a Foolish and then generating more advantage on top of that. Redox and Tempest also would probably be a bit much, but not to the same extent.
>>546147797maybe they could get more Xyz forms of the big dragons? we have Fire, Light and Dark having one, getting one for the other three might have more disruption and versatility if they designed them to be used as endboard pieces and then converted into Disaster when the turn rolls around
>>546149064This guy is more like a free agent card so the fire one could still use an XYZ form too. Maybe they could be one card xyzs by discarding a level 7 dragon from hand or something>>546148635Tidal would absolutely be the most abused. Mermail, Crystrons, and Ice barrier decks come to mind for potential abusers.
>>546144436>just found a way to Make Kali Yuga with RaidraptorsDamn anon, you must be a genius.

Ban Baronne De Fleur
Can someone people tell me why do people leave when they lose the coin flip? I don't mean when they're already in the match I mean on the loading screen? it doesn't make any since and can only be an action build on pure hatred.
no top deck even plays baronne it's power crept to hell already
>>546156839Probably because they wanted to win the coin flip.
>>546156839yes people most likely are just salty about losing the 5050 and want to fuck you for it to feel maybe slightly betterit's not like they lose anything doing itpersonally I do it if I'm at promo to D5 so my opponent can't insta concede before me and force me to rank up
>>546157038But you still get a lost and all you do is just fuck over the other person
>>546156945Baronne isn't power crept, the top decks just don't have the right levels/tuners to summon it. If they could put it on their endboard to protect the rest of their interruptions without making any sacrifices then they would be.Omni negates are good actually.
>launch the game for daily>lose coin, get send first against striker>win coin, he resolve maxxc>close the gameI love MD.
>>546157205Yes and it sounds like they do not care.
>>546157217it's shit because it has too much deckbuilding restrictionsapo was broken because you can shit it on the field with almost anything, baronne you need to build your deck around to play it
>>546157205indeed, the message is clear, fuck you, i'm not watching the movie.
Free Vanity's Emptyness
Errata Evilswarm Exciton Knight
>>546157409Yeah. It's just a matter of Konami not putting tuners in top decks whose levels equal 10 with the other monsters in them. The card is as good as it ever was. Apo would also see little play if every deck that was worth playing had monsters/effects incompatible with her summon.Caesar remains a really strong card but if Konami banned Engraver and every deck in the future had no level 6s you'd be wrong to say it suddenly got power crept. That's essentially where Baronne is right now.
>>546157217>Omni negates are good actually.horrible take
>>546157919You're right, they're actually weak and worthless. The only worthwhile interruptions are battle tricks. Everything else is a waste of your cards.
