dead gamedead general
>>569201850Dracotail has zero one card combos.
>>569194460I swear to god if these niggers get impulse hit im gonna lose it
>>569203404NTA but kill yourself you fucking meta whore downplayer
>>569203656faimena is not a one card combo bwo...
>>569203460>impulse hitgood
any elfnotes white forest lists
>>569203460impulse is already at 2 in ocg so more likely than not
>>569203404branded fusion
>>569204098>any Ht in hand + the whore>not a 1 card starterYou could have fucking beaver warrior in hand and it wouldn't matter.
>>569203404Yeah but it turns out dracotail plays dracotail cards and springans plays springans cards. There's a universe of difference between>starters just require any other monster card in hand, also they will immediately set extenders from deck when you use them; half of them have quick effects so you can play on both turnsand>your best starter requires an archetype name in hand, discards for cost, and is a field spell with no protection; every single effect is susceptible to common handtraps and you have a gigantic obvious chokepoint. half your names don't do anything on the field or the hand
>>569203656Are you the same guy who argued that Moye is a one card combo?
>>569203404Holy fuck nigger, the brandon support isn't even out yet and you trannies are already downplaying the other half of the deck.
I wish I could keep playing Mimighoul in Platinum and higher but it's just crept to shit. Hopefully treasure panther puts some wind back in its sails
>>569206163>but it's just crept to shitthat would imply there was a time it was good
>>569206259It's usable and fun, just because something isn't meta doesn't mean its bad.
>>569206163>crept to shitlol it was dead on arrival
>>569205091>discard "the whore">fuse beaver warrior with uhh umm well you see
>Log in>Get my twelfth and thirteenth consecutive striker wins to knock out dailies>Log outSuch is life with the fairest deck in the meta...
>>569206163put 3 copies of summoning curse into the deck and suddenly it's good
>>569205560>downplayingits literally a fact though, dracotail does not have a single 1 card combo
i-it's not too late to buy our field bundle, you know!
>>569207324I did
>>569207324sorry I don't like your field or the accessories
>>569207324that's her face after i snuck up on her room and jerked off all over her stockings btw
chances the new structure deck is darklords?
>>569207946it's more likely we don't get a structure deck at all at this point
i'm sure at least 3 people bought the dragunity bundle, smashing all expectations
>>569205560Why do people up-play branded so much? I don't get it.
>>569208118I did! I liked the accessories and planned to build Dragunity at some point, the Ravine case is really pretty and I felt like it was worth it
>>569206163Good, fuck that deck. There was a Mimighoul player at my locals months ago and I took great pleasure in activating Impulse from my hand.
>>569208118The dragon ravine deck box was the only good thing in there and the collector's file itself was ugly so I didn't get it. The sales for the non-waifu collection bundles are probably way lower than the waifu ones.
>>569208207Bad players get mad at Branded because they don't understand the lines or what skill expression looks like and get bodied with the greatest of ease. Good players get mad at Branded because its positive matchup spread is fucking nuts.
>Albaz has sex with Ecclesia>Hair gets longwhy
>>569208746i get mad at branded because graveyard triggers are impossible to interact with
>>569203404dracotail downplayers not even once, fuck off your deck ruined this game for 5 months
>>569209362sir, your skull meister?
>>569209362Son, Belle is more viable now than the card has been for the entirety of its life.
>>569209556bro thinks belle is skull meister
>>569209971>comparing Belle to Skull MeisterDon't talk shit about my daughter like that
>>569210074your daughter doesn't do shit to an albion end phase search, unlike skull meister
my entire match history is wins except for three consecutive matches where i was tilted. fuck VSK9
Do I just build Sky Striker at this point? It's got a good matchup against KT and it's gonna get F&V access soon
>>569204263what I play which is close to shirako's listif you want to see their list:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht3E_IGwZ5Y2 purulias and 1 veiler in place of 3 imperms and another elfnote continuous spell in place of crossout
>>569211491Building sky striker and branded are the best possible choices you could make in this game. Konami won't allow them to ever be bad.
>>569211582Thanks. I'm missing some cards so i will probably try to fit in Azamna and Diabellstar
What's so incredible about EcclesiaWho is Quem guiding?Why is Albaz falling?
>>569212282And why is Cartesia blazing?
>>569212657cuz she is hot
>>569212657bullshit
>>569208118Georgius will return when Toon comes out and MD’s banlist barely touches the deck and its ability to shit out anything
>>569205091>discard faimena>you no longer have a dracotail in hand so the dracotail fusions are out>the fusion must be a dragon or spellcaster so the beaver warrior better be a generic enough material for the fusion you wanti kinda don't see faimena as a one card combo
>>569208732Regular Lunalight endboard has IP + Cross Sheep into SPGoing 2nd they just Heavy Poly and kill you
>>569206417>>569213817You faggots always have something in hand.The only time you dracodeads lose is if you draw fuwa 3 times in a row.
>>569214112Can't nuke under fissure/shifter
>>569214156>You faggots always have something in hand.the point of a 1 card combo is that you dont need anything else in hand
>>569214441Okay it's not a 1-start starterit still should be limited to 1 or banned same as Holie sue>can use HT as material>can recycle them from GY>set shit from the deck
>>569214863>Okay it's not a 1-start starterthanks for finally admitting that, weird it took so long though
>this is the best anti-DT schizos could come up withIt's time to come clean, /mdg/. He was right. Dracotail meta and JUHU to a certain extent was the best meta the game has seen in YEARS. The moment Dracotail got butchered and taken out of the meta the game plummeted. Truth.
why is only wind statue banned, was it giga easily accessible?
>>569214441Probably a younger anon that fell for changed terminology, like how some players say that negates are floodgates, or calling a big board an FTK. Likewise that anon thinks that 'one card combo' is 'one card effect does a lot of shit'.>>569214156The meaning of one card combo is: with that one singular card in hand you can start the combo, which faimena is not.
>>569215157yes
>>569215157floo searched and summoned in the bread and butter combo. Also summonable off the simorgh link 3
>>569215157could be summoned directly from the deck, by an extra deck monster. any three monsters with just one needed to be winged-beast could get you the statue.if there were any extra deck type summoner, they could easily get any of the other statues.
>>569215569>>569215836>>569215920i c, the birds were up to no good
DARK - Chimera was sending to grave since its a Fiend then reborning during Snake-Eye metaLIGHT - Toybox can turbo itWATER - Mermail had way more degenerate stuff to do to youFIRE - no one did this because Snake-Eye can both out and play under itEARTH - Only bad Magnet Warrior end on it
Anything here worth keeping?some are second copiesalso>I have got that reptile UR several times, same with the other UR needed for the insta victory conditionat this point im considering just memeing reptiles, talk me out of it
>>569215157yeah dumbass redditors like to go 'but merlantean can get the water one!!' but the difference is one gets the summon like five actions into their combo and the other gets it twenty five (meaning EVERY effect prior has to resolve, you have to fire off minstrel to get something in banish, then you have to alter your lines and devote ED space into a synchro 7 enabler in a deck that only reaches tuner access right at the end of wombo'ing). Would be the definition of win more, if Toad and Dweller getting banned didn't leave water without any other decent endboard pieces; floo on the other hand just shits it out like nothin
>>569217883Furnace - Hero is cheap nowDisablaster - level 5 extender for K9Vimana - rank 5 for K9Dragonar - prioritize Photon Lord or Hope Harbinger first
>>569217852>Only bad Magnet Warrior end on itpretty much every single list you can find plays it or pachy
pretty sure lukias/ketu are 1 card starters, I don't know why dracoshit niggers keep downplaying, also the dracotail hater should at least learn how the deck works at first lmao
>>569217883-1x Cupsy enables a certain degree of engineslop-Dragon Ravine's usable in lots of dragon strats and will likely remain at least somewhat evergreen-Georgious is a not half bad generic endboard piece and a solid floodgate, probably worth keeping one of him around for futureproofing-Levirtue dragon is the only good target for Bahamut shark, current usage is limited but I'd keep him aroundPendslop is pendslop, rotas you can obviously throw and no one really runs the live-twin maindeck boss, even though they're soulful. Alternative's similarly powercrept. The Gem-Knight and HERO doods are integreal to their decks, I personally don't see a need to decraft with how much dust you already have but you do you.
>>569219000nah ravine is outdated now>blue-eyes doesn't need it>rda doesn't need it (they're mostly fiend main deck but w/e)>rokkets don't need it anymore
and another question, this is all I need for this right? >>569219000>I personally don't see a need to decraft with how much dust you already have but you do you.well here's the funny thing 1/2 (pic related)That said I just found about the Darklord support coming soon (been out of the loop so besides withcrafter I have no idea of anything future for now), so I rather just save gems nowbut thanks for the advice>>569218565same, thanks for the advice
i'm so fucking tired of handtraps>fiendslop does fiendslop combo>also has droll, ash, belleyeah fuck me i guess i just won't play
>>569219435Don't plan on playing Darklord the limit to Herald of Orange Light pre-nerfs the deck and you need to shell out URs for the Solfachord engine.
>chinkversary just so happened to open deck lockdown
>>5692194352/2though Im not so sure about this one, but seems to enable fun stuff like Ninjas, Quants and Tellar Knights
The earth statue should definetely be banned though And Block Dragon along with it
>>569223075Before they're banned, they need erratas saying they can't be Special Summoned, and that you can't control Special Summoned monsters if you are to summon them.
>>569205221Nah. Springans post albaz support has a lot of combos that don’t even touch the field spell. Dracotail’s cards are all resolve the normal summon or a single fusion spell or get fucked.The only reason why Dracotail has synergy with branded is branded fusion and Cartesia. While Konami is inching Springans to use branded cards to the point they get their own E-tele, gung-ho, to do it. >>569208207They don’t play the decks that beat them. So they have this imagination that Radiant typhoon actually is an absurd and cheesy deck that isn’t at all clunky to use because the players seemingly beaten them easily. Extremely childish bullshit. Despite the fact Jokul and vanguish soul cards depend on the other cards on your hand to even be as strong to get limited and banned in the first place.
>>569205560Pure Branded is going to be way better than mixed with Shittail
>>569225508That’s not what the YCS says.
>>5692255641 guy playing it with Dracotail vs 100 guys playing pure is exactly what it says
>>56920327620 thousand branded players will install the game for the new pack
>>569225096>Springans post albaz support has a lot of combosyou're crazy, dude. you need to draw a 2 card combo to put 2 bodies on the field and you still die to any handtrap under the sun even then
>>569226028Did people ever thought Konami could ever make a second Sky Striker that is way more expansive?
>>569218364Water statue on a Mermail board is also not game ending because Muddy is water. You can still super poly it.Just like how Crimson Dragon is fair in Blue-Eyes because they're more or less stuck summoning Sifr Dragon.
>>569205091You dont know what a 1 card combo is my dudeIf you have Faimena and no other cards you cant do shitMeanwhile, take KT for example which has true 1 card combos. If you have something like Reco and no other cards you can still normal it and start a chain of cards that get you to more cards that ends you on a playable board.
>>569226141>Just like how Crimson Dragon is fair in Blue-Eyes because they're more or less stuck summoning Sifr Dragon.You say it as if Sifr wasn't also insane lmao
Dracotail would be fair if you just banned Dracotail Flame and no other hits, but Draconiggers will downplay that because they know their deck insta dies without the broken negate
>>569226141Bro have you ever read Sifr?
>>569226650Sifr is shit, it's vulnerable to every spell and trap card in the game. It's trivially easy to negate or super poly away>b-but win rateWhen Centurion summons Blazar, that's their whole payoff, maybe some handtrps and Phalanx, Blazar solos as soon as it hits the field like Liger DancerSifr only appears once Blue-Eyes has full combo and a stacked board with way more interactions than Centurion.
>>569226056> and you still die to any handtrap under the sun even thenSurprisingly no.The issue with springans is actually a lot similar to old branded and even in current branded. They’re pushed to use new cards that tell them to stop doing the old thing. They’re pushed have to go back to the old thing (branded fusion, the springans xyzs) because there still isn’t enough support to fully work in the level 8 synchro-fusion thing they want these archetypes to use. I get the vibe they are future proofed to provide branded support that is mainly springans name based just to make Tri-springs Kit a lot stronger as the extender it’s supposed to be for branded.
>>569227269>Blazar solos as soon as it hits the field like Liger DancerMaybe if you're in plat 5
>>569227269Wow it's shit because you can imperm it (never going to happen because they have 3 other negates) and you can superpoly it (you can also superpoly Blazar or any other monster in the game)I guess this guy is shit too
>>569226778>The extremely broken target spell negate>Surely this is much more oppressive than one card dragoonsI have to be serious here, why that card out of anything?
>>569226778>Dracotail FlameI got a secret tech for you
>diddytailers are making a comeback with the new braindead supportTrululu to 0Faimena to 0Sanctifire to 0Arthalion to 0
>>569226650Clovis is a crazy extender that reborns even from banishment and becomes half of Wave King High Caesar
There is so much rage about Dracotail, it’s astonishingly hilarious.
>>569226778Yeah just ban dracotail flame and it would be an honest deck
>>569228495An honest deck that cannot have a good interruption against kewl tune.
>>569228370they were allowed full power with no hits for 5 months, shat up every md weekly and dc cup (2 cups), second highest power level deck next to tearlaments (40 power level) and downplayed by everyone with "muh fair and honest" when they floodgated you every game, deserved rage
>>569228901Should’ve drawn better
A NEW ERA IS UPON US!
>>569229415>people still acting like this deck is gonna do anything and won't immediately flop
>>569229537You're really hoping that's the case. Just like Numeron "flopped" in the TCG and OCG but mysteriously made waves in MD....
>>569229672>numeron made waves in master duelnow you're just making shit up, that trash was never meta
>>569229537I fucking wishThis deck will be absolutely demonic in BO1
>>569229795you think the deck only loses cause of the side deck or something?ennea gets demolished in G1 just as often as G2 and 3 (that is to say, all the time because the deck is trash)
>>569227837Flame being a trap-based spell negate means Dracotail is protected from spell-based breakers that would otherwise blow out the board, and being trap it's hard for conventional nonengine to beat. How many Monster or Trap based Spell/Trap removal cards are in the game? Basically none aside from evenly, and Dracotail protects vs Evenly by using Sanctifire dragon. That leaves Red Reboot which is just a silver bulletFlame means you have to extend through the Dracotail board, you can't use breakers, or run a deck that doesn't care about losing a spell. That also means continuous spell searchers are out because Flame negates them and you also block yourself out of using Lightning Storm. And duster on 2 F/D is way less punishing than duster away 3 since Horn can bounce Arthalion and Sting can banish the 1st spell, resulting in you going -2 for trying to beak the board with spells.Dracotail punishes decks that rely on the normal summon to stick and have limited pushes or searches outside of spells, i.e. weaker decks that run counters. If you run something with high gas that doesn't care about handtraps you win instantly. Dracotail's existence creates a high power format with high gas decks that beat it in engine which tend to have weaknesses to Droll, Fuwa and Puru, i.e. a shit format like JUSH were you had to play 1 of the 3 decks and nothing else
>>569229782You're fucking drunk bucko. On release of the game, almost nothing could stop it, and I was unbeatable during the branded/swordsoul meta because of this beast
sex with Sky Striker Aces
>>569230064>On release of the game, almost nothing could stop itthat is massive cope, on release of the game it could maybe help you climb through silver and gold but you'd be hardstuck there
>>569229782I mean part of the reason is because it had basically 0 representation in paper but yeah at the start lots of people would play it because it was mindless and fast and there weren't as many ranks
>>569230191The game was filled with going 1st drytroons and shit, a kaiju fixed it and numetroons ran them, you could reach plat 1 easily
>>569230191Alright, time to admit you didn't play the game on release champ
>>569230561drytrons were not losing to a single kaiju nigga, stop the bullshit
>>569230191was there even hardstuck on release? I rarely played more than 3-5 games ever and for the first few seasons I'd max out without trying and you'd still find random shit decks, it was obvious there wasn't enough ranks
>>569230807This nigger is serious
>>569230950*3-5 games per day ever
>>569230950you can get hardstuck in any rank if you never win
>>569230807Yes, their gameplan was summoning herald and negating everything with it
>>569231313they definitely had more on board than a single herald, stop being disingenuous
>>569231313He didn't play then. Don't humor him.
I still miss skipping ranks with a winstreak
Wait, what the fuck? Is this dude really saying Numeron wasn't aids in early MD? I remember seeing Numeron bots in the Branded era and probably a bit further past that because of how sacky and autopilot it was.
>>569231712He's retarded beyond belief. Probably a tourist paper faggot.
You could at least get away playing stuff like F.A. in the early game, specially with the amount of people playing back then
>>569231410>they definitely had more on board than a single heraldNo, their board was usually just herald + called and 3 crossout. But they also had 6 cards in hand with orange light, ash and maxx "C"Kaijus were pretty good when i started and stayed decent up until Snake-Eyes. They were even good vs Tear, remove Baronne, Winda, or a Tear name without triggering a GY effect
>>569231712>Is this dude really saying Numeron wasn't aids in early MD?no, and if you could read you'd know what I'm actually sayingshame you can't read so there's not much reason to spell it out for you
>>569231410>on boardpretty sure this would only be masq into unicorn?but pitching eva for orange light + fuel was pretty aids
>>569231712Honestly I'm surprised MD survived the launch year considering how abysmal the initial format was. VW/Drytron/Eldlich stun format was horrendous to play through
>>569232037depends what you consider survived lmfao
>>569232037Drytron wiped out over 200,000 players. That's why the faggot above is disingenuous to an unbelievable degree.
>>569232001they should have fafnir and draconids on the board at minimum
>>569232037It's the reason why the game has had such a relatively low population compared to other big multiplayer earners on Steam. Konami put their worst foot forward with the launch banlist and refusing to do anything about it for months, which cratered the playerbase completely.
I'm pretty sure he's trolling, he gets vague when he needs to and never addresses if he actually played during release
>I'm losing the argument so I'll just call him a troll
>>569232037>>569232236oh yeah, it took like 3-4 months for the first pack to drop, and it was fucking SWORDSOULESS
>I didn't prove anything or solidify my arguments, that means I won
I accept your concession
>>569232207I can't remember why exactly because it was so long ago but I'm pretty fucking sure you did not get to summon both rituals turn 1 with what was available at the time
>I just have to pretend I played on release and not mentioned that IIIIII was the drytron nigger that made everyone quit. I'll deflect and claim drytron didn't lose to a single kaiju6/10 trolling. You played your part little nig.
>>569232696you absolutely did, average drytron endboard had their level 12 ritual, a herald, the xyz and IPherald pass would not have dominated the way drytron did
>>569232696I think this is supported by the fact that lists from around that time don't even play draconids
>>569232702The funny thing is because how much a clown fiesta early MD was there actually were some Drytron players that had used lines to dump Vanity's Emptiness and add it back with Auroradon. I particularly remember that because it was a game where I had opened the kaiju.
>>569232931And this clown in the thread thinks 200,000 people wanted to sit through that....
>>569232806>leaving out how aids union carrier/beatrice eva wasyeah man I don't think you played during release
>>569232037remember how the japanese didn't know how to play herald drytrons and westerners had to TEACH them lmao
>>569233130thanks for adding to my point I guess?
of all the retarded horseshit
>>569233260at this point I just want you to admit it
>>569233278He can't even Pend Summon Fuwalos he probably doesn't have enough URs for 3x Doom Queen so its a budget build.
>>569233437I mean my only argument here is that drytrons do not and never have just ended on herald pass, that's not something I'm ever going to agree with no matter what you say
>dis nigga tryna pretend he played during cointtoss abuse simulator duelkeeeeek you can't fool us niqqa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtn3J0r1Ulc
Duel Links did the cointoss betterneither player gets to choose.
>>569233831I think I'd be happy if every single Herald card was bannedI don't care if they're not played anymore, I just don't like any of them
if you don't have pot of greed mate or ghost belle mate don't even talk about master duel lmaooooo your opinion has no weight
>>569232037I don't know how the fuck I made it though those days. I imagine it's actually worse than I remember, even. And don't forget to add Endymion to that list of cancerous decks. I won't ever let /v/ live down how right I was about that fucking deck when 2 of them topped the first DC. Felt so damn vindicated.
>>569234025The handtrap heralds are all over genesys rn and people fucking hate them, it never stops with that fuckass archetype
>>569233693the only other thing is masq, you don't get to have herald + fuel/orange light AND draconids + live fafnir unless lolol just draw them
remember virtual world lolremember lyrilusc lolremember chaos "fuck it we ball" ruler lol
>>569234303>the only other thing is masqwell that's more than just herald so I'll take this as a win
>>569234189It was really fucking bad, dude. Genuinely can't believe I stuck around the first few months looking back on it in hindsight.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXEYebYfIM8
yeah dis nigga trollan
>>569234471can you not just accept that you're wrong gracefully?
>>569234456I remember I once had a board like that and I lost to someone with triple Lava Golem and Owner's seal
>>569234618based, hope you liked eating shit
>>569234709It was funny so i couldn't even be mad at it. He outskilled me
swosooooooo
wasn't there that other thing with the level 8s and fairy tail luna? did that also have no record in paper?
remember water enchantress lol
>>569235741the one from the adventure engine?
>>569235741I found it funny you can shit it out with allure queenbut allure queen is still ass
Did the matchmaking finally decide it was my turn to win or what? I am seeing petdecks in gold at the beginning of the month, this never happens.
>>569235207Luna kaiju with sekka's light
>>569236103doesn't that sound like inactive players coming back to the game?is albaz actually fucking saving us?
>>569237871tbf I did quit when branded first got hit years ago and have only come back for the new support maybe others are like me
Is it worth it to go over 40 cards to run x3 F+V
>>569238113yes the consistency hit is minimal
>>569237871I hadn't considered that since I personally hate branded. None of those 16 duels were against branded though.
>>569239112they’re grinding with petdecks to save gems for when the pack drops
would this card be good
>>569238113I personally don't like running x3 of any card that is a HOPT, Ash is the only exceptionrun 3 and you are going to brick on it at some point
>>569239310would break Kashtira and ensure ariseheart never gets unbanned
>>569239417Branded is the weirdest deck ever when people run two-ofs and one-ofs for everything.

>>569239310Wouldn't do shit since Ash would still kill Theosis on the spot and any extending.The problem with Kashtira is: Nothing works if you have shit on your field.Nothing works if you don't have another Kashtira card in your hand.Nothing has negates.Nothing has protection.Ariseheart has too low ATK for a Boss monster, powercreep got that bad.You have to rely on continuous spell/traps to survive, which every modern deck can pop just as part of their combo.No lingering floodgate.>Dark Yes please give my opponent the opportunity to super poly away my Ariseheart in draw phase <3
Ban Arthalion and Dragontail is fine
o where can I check cardboard release schedules to see what's being released in the future?
>>569240467someone on reddit makes charts for thathttps://old.reddit.com/r/masterduel/comments/1t1w0wo/future_archetypes_visual_guide_all_missing_cards/and you can check https://www.yugiohmeta.com/
Should I dismantle Dracotail? I don't really like playing the deck anymore and it's fallen out of favor. I'm not sure if the F&V package will fix it or not, so idk
>>569241362you should move on to pure branded (the tcg already did)
>>569239726Running a playset counterintuitively makes your deck less consistent AND less powerful, in the case you open HOPT cards. 2 is a good middle ground, especially if the card has self interaction. You may have heard the memes of Talents or Desires draw 2 into Talents and Desires.Konami has been addressing this with cards like Yummy Surprise that you can run at 1 or 2 and recycle.Ash is the exception because it's almost always live so if you open 2 there's a strong chance you use both in the first 2 turns.
>>569241362Just wait for bans or something. Maybe it'll do great in the DC cup and we'll get our UR's hit to death.
dracotail is still fine why u niggas crying, fucking tcg players made it work with 1 ketu and 1 rahu and 1 brafu
>>569242106deck is dead in the tcg, the fuck are you talking about?
>>569241734bans are spitting on Dracotail's grave by further hitting it. they limited it's good spell
>>569242224literally just won a ycs
>>569242475>1 singular top by a fat retard who didn’t feel like dropping the deckoh nvm the deck is saved! just kidding it’s still dead and even kotton isn’t playing it again
>>569242224You know only the most inbred of retards have this take when it just won a ycs. People that saw those hits and thought the deck was dead are insanely fucking garbage. Your deck plays itself. Every resolution of a single dracotail card is full combo, and you have an endless combination of ways to make those cards resolve. Making a single fusion off rahu is a +6. Fucking paste-eater deck for inbred retards and stupid fucking faggots like you call the deck "dead". Insane. You're actually a subhuman pavement ape. >>569242541
>>5692425731 top doesn’t make it not deada deck needs to be consistently viable to be considered good, kottons top was a fluke even he knows that
>>569242671You're coping and garbage at the game. The deck is still consistent. You're just shit. People with this take are just shit. Your deck was fucking busted before, and now it's just fair, but it's nowhere near dead. You fucking idiot.
>>569242734you can call me as many names as you like it doesn’t change the fact the deck is dead now
>>569242810>literally just won a ycs>umhh doesn't count totally a fluke guysnope, you're just shit, people with this take are shit and are just mad they can't be carried by playing one of the easiest, most braindead decks ever created. I bet you played bujins in the past, you helmet-wearing retard.
>>569242876>it’s totally not a fluke that’s why no one else has topped with it since ok
>>569242965>topped with it sinceThe ycs happened a week ago, how many events do you think yugioh does a month, you fucking idiot?
>>569242965
>>569241135>S-Force>Tellar KnightsOH nice, guess im crafting the K9 engine for Tellarknight thenm I already had a deck so I hope its not expensive when it comes out, same with S-Force
>>569243076according to ygoprodeck the TCG has had nearly 30 events since columbus, most of which are WCQs
So with all the new s-force support are we getting to have a good lore sets instead of more artmage?
>>569243153Not the guy you're arguing with but I can bet my balls that those wins involved a LOT of sacking people with the dogshit floodgate fusion that shuts off spellcasters and dragons Like why is that shit even legal
>>569246040it's not immune to removal or negation
>gem knights is still a viable deckI hate this game. I fucking hate it. Why can't they understand that some decks should never be viable in any capacity?

Hey guys, i got a question.If i play till i reach atleast Plat, i will get resett to Plat at the end of the season.Will i still get the gems from the lower ranks?
>TCGI don't trust any faggots who cry about Savage and Baronne
>>569250079If you play from lower ranks to Plat, yes. However once you restart from a lower tier, you will not get the gems from the previous tiers below that one.
>>569246619>>gem knights is still a viable deckGem knight's are forever just wait till konami give them a void liberation like spell that mixes them with shaddoll.
>>569250419So, if i want to have an easy time acumulating gems, i should just stay below plat, right?
>>569251621>give them a void liberation like spell that mixes them with shaddoll.why infernoid of all things? shaddoll has way more connection with gem knight than the other archetypes
>>569251854They're more closely connected to Qli and Infernoid for lore reasons. They're Evilswarm 2.0 so they are as closely related to gem knights as they are to the other DT archetypes they're corrupting.
>>569251692you should only reach silver 1 or gold 1 if you just want ez gems since you cant derank, yeah
banishing is the coolest card mechanic, all shifter decks are based.
Nice to finally get the vanilla BLS from the Legacy Pack since my region didn't have access to the Duelist Points thing.
Why did it take konami this long to realize ritual pends are the future.
>>569255047U sure?
For ten whole minutes I fused away and banished every ryzeal that fucker put on his field. Ten WHOLE minutes. Then because he has one fucking mitsugri ritual monster in the hand, a whole other fucking chain starts up.Cancer. Actual cancer.
>chinky winky just magically draws shining sarc as well off imsetyyeah sure you fuckin did
>watched some master replay dracotail player set up their perfect turn 1 board and get dabbed on by a kt player narrowly playing through all their bullshit on turn 2 is there a term for schadenfreude you feel when the previous cancer t1 meta deck loses against the next t1 meta deck?
>>569202993Why does she look so smug?
When konami i will need them for shaddoll.
>>569260986KT is less cancerous than DT because it doesn't has traps that negates and make them draw a card and sets shit from deck.KT is unironically a fair and honest deck compared to DT.Pic related just said DT is a fair and honest deck again on stream, just keep the narrative up Washua.
>guy goes first>does full combo>ends turn with more cards in hand than meWhy could the player base be dropping?
>>569262215why didn't you use droll
>>569262215This has been the chase since forever and since Malice it just got more emphasized.Tear could comeback at full names except the Ishizu millers being kept at 1 and it would be "a fair and honest deck".Kashtira could comeback at full names except Hind hacker and it would be "a fair and honest deck".Floo could get their Map back at 3 and it would be "a fair and honest deck".
Can you feel it? In the near future every deck will unironically be like pic related.The rest is a schrodinger's guessing game. You don't know if your opponent will be bringing Fuwalos or Purulia until they use them.
>>569261953>>569261953Also calling it here Washua will start the WCQ with Branded but will drop it midway and change to KT because just like every other "pro" he is a meta whore.
they should ban every handtrap and non engine card

im enjoying Doomz
>>569261953>KT >The deck that bricks your top deck and invalidates your hand traps by knowing what's there>FairGetting to draw cards off of interactions is strong but a lot of the time it's the non engine thats the problem with Dracotail. If that shit couldn't recycle veilers, droll and Maxx C, or just draw into more cards, you fuckers would still complain about it's disruptions and advantage generation. They're both strong decks but being able to use information like that and disrupt the top deck especially in simplified states while still plussing is way stronger
>>569264808>KT dies to boardbreakers>DT doesn't dies to boardbreakersI take Top deck manipulation and ED rip over spell negate, GY manipulation, permanent negate, bounce, HT recycle and drawing cards.KT can recycle ash, yeah a 1 for 1.But try playing against a DT that goes first and recycles Maxx C.
>Wining against some dude>Have a decent beat stick out>He equips this to some other monster and eats the damage attacking to my beat stick>Effect doesn't go off because technically the equipped monster dies first so it doesn't countEven I was offended. I hate the wording this game uses.
>>569266348I mean it says it on the card.Only when that fucker gets poped as an equip spell the effects goes off.
>>569265259You can stop all the traps with Ash and Belle, and you win if all three are in grave. KT can still make an omni negate and an on field negate on the opponents turn, on top of having a search spell thats twice per turn and dodges droll. >But try playing against a DT that goes first and recycles Maxx C.Yeah Maxx C is fucked up like everyone agrees. KT going first has a board thats perfectly tailored for your 6 cards. You aren't going to win that either. The difference here is that Maxx C is the problem card not the Dracotail engine itself.
>>569265259>>KT dies to boardbreakerslolLMAO
Board breaker are very effective against K9VS because it doesn't has Spell/Trap negate except if they run Elfnotes package, but the Elfnote package has its own issues and considerations so it isn't commonly seen.If you can't OTK K9VS after a Book of Eclipse... either your deck or you have some issues.Kewl Tune doesn't die that easily to board breakers, unless you bring multiple of them (like Sky Striker does) because they can see your hand very early in their combo and also very consistently (compared to K9VS, which requires prior commitment to hand-check, and isn't always possible), and custom tailor their board for the appropriate response against what you have. They also have Spell/Trap negate so its easier for them to play around some board breakers.By the way, Sky Striker players are dishonest because they constantly downplay their deck, despite it being able to consistently beat both Tier 1 decks of the format.
>>569268501In fact, if you don't open Droll, I don't see how can Sky Striker ever lose against KT unless they brick. Because even the Cue + Remix handtrap recycle loop can be stopped.So either 2/3 or 3/4 of the time Sky Striker will win against Kewl Tune, the current best top tier meta deck.
How long until the new cards come out?
>>569269218probably around 19 hours depending on how maintenance goes
>Can't wait for 100000000 more bajillion years of le hecking branded!!!! Gosh I'm just so excited!!! >.<^ statement made before player count gets even lower later in the month
>swordsoul elfnote on tasukus streaminteresting
Branded is a funny archetype because, I might be mistaken, but I've always seen it or some of its variants on the trending tier (every time I scrolled down to check the tier) or above.
>>569262635>>569262935close, but not quite
>>569270463this is just a maliss deck
>Opponent starts turn with either Gold Sarcophagus, Kashtira or Radiant TyphoonCool>Suddenly DormouseThe fuck
>>569270605And this is because in my head Gold Sarcophagus is still a Branded card
fuckin crafted a couple erufus 'cause I was mildly impressed with some of the blends I saw on ladder but uhi suddenly understand why these things haven't taken off too much. Why on god's brown shitter do these things not search on summon??? the only possible purpose of such a decision is to make them suck just every nut IMAGINABLE going second, it doesn't affect their going first build at all - and even when you stick one of these retards on the board, they can't use their effects going second, it's like inverse balancing.Swear to god striker's the only non-kewl deck that actually feels good to play right now, the only other deck that even stands a sliver of a chance playing second is the 60c branded boogieman that decided to take a few last custom cracks at me before they get EVEN STRONGER. VSK9 in particular is so cooked it's unbelievable, since you're the only deck in the room that actually still gets fucked by droll or charmies dudes just sit back and let your deck kill itself wit bricky lines and wet fart card economy
Nice send to GY effect, nerd!>>569273231If you played against elfnotes, you just know that that deck can't go second in any board that remotely put up any kind of resistance.

>>569287605fr?
albaz was already in his titaniklad form before falling into the dogmatika nationmeaning he was fused with something that isn't a dogmatikathe other material needing to be 2500 atk and the overall metallic vibe of the monster tells us it was probably a bystial
>>569282395Maybe in some brown nation. In America, the only nation that matters, it's pronounced "click"
>>569288560>>569287605>meaning he was fused with somethingWhy does he keep fusing with things though? I'm trying to understand the lore
>>569288709idk albaz doesn't know either he forgot
>>569288709the official term for it is "Dragon Alchemy" and it's not fully explained in Albaz's plot, but the term has existed since the Dracoslayer lore and seems to be the process that created the Amorphages, not sure how they connect but it seems too close of a term to not be related somehow
>>569288601It's still cleek in America, you're just retarded.

high spirits is literally a -1 idk why anyone plays that shit
>569294597have you read the card before
>>569294949yes? that's how I know it's a -1
>watch someone set up a yubel board>wonder where this is gonna go>pulls out the fiendslop
569294597why do nonplayers post here? mental illness perhaps?
>>569290634He made a heroic effort getting to M5 but after that I saw he spent an entire stream not rising a single rank and I was like yeah, he's not going to make it. He also had a like 1-3 coin toss loss ratio, it was insane.
>>569294597Because the card it searches wins the game for youSame thing for Seventh Tachyon and Cynet mining
>>569293089We can go bigger
>>569295913branded has plenty of searchers that don't go -1 idk why everyone is playing the -1
>>569294597High spirits is not a -1 lmaoIn fact it pluses you
>>569282395>>569288601If you google search both words it will show you different english pronunciations for both.>/klēk/ vs /klik/Actually, its on that so called >some brown nationthat clique is pronounced exactly like click.That is despite both words having different meanings when written in said language (Brazilian portuguese).
>>569296763-1 from playing it, another -1 from the discard, +1 from the searchadds to -1 overall
>>569289502Very nice how english likes to put vowels in words despite them being silent its just very stylish wow
>>569297328you should see french
>>569296874Ok genius, now go read Branded fusions and realize 90% of them make you go plus on the end phaseIt also recycles itself so something simple like sending Titaniklad is a +1Now considering how busted white Albaz is resolving it is basically a insta win
>>569297414that's not spirits going +1, that's the fusions doing all the workspirits is still a -1 on activation also adding in the end phase is so gay, what if I don't get to the end phase because I already lost/won the game?
They really did everything to ensure this card could not be good
>>569297594>that's not spirits going +1, that's the fusions doing all the work>spirits is still a -1 on activationyou are so fucking retarded holy shit
>>569297784>you are so fucking retarded holy shitand yet I'm correct
>>569296783>ptbrWrong. As a hue the one thing I can say is that portuguese is one of those languages that is actually solved because diacritics, not to mention the syllabe "que" actually has a sound because its used in multiple words.At least how I say clique is different from click.Now lets see how people say blitz.
>>569297594This has to be bait
All on end phase:>Albion plus>Cartesia recycle>High spirits recycle>Titaniklad and Sprind plus>Incredible Ecclesia recycleAnd I think I might be forgetting some stuff
>>569298436damn, this would be really good if it was in a phase that matteredimagine doing this in main phase 1, or heck even the battle phasebut no it's in the "I already lost the game because I ended my turn" phase, stupid fucking deck honestly idk why or how anyone can play it
The cool thing about high spirits is that you don't have to discard for cost if it gets negated
>activation -1>discard -1>search +1>end phase recycle +1Its a +0 if you don't consider anything else.Besides the end phase plus effects: sending an Albaz fusion to the GY turns on multiple card's activation conditions.Also, sending a monster to the GY in Branded isn't necessarily a bad thing.Look at how many of them can banish themselves for effects, or can either do stuff or be used while in the GY.Part of Branded's appeal is its grind game due to how much resources it can recycle.Also, consider the fact that you're complaining about a deck that isn't even Tier 3.
>>569262590>This has been the chase since foreverMaybe, but if you chose to you could run breakers to equalize the board state, and Konami has been actively designing new decks with ways to neutralize those equalizer cards. Even something unstoppable like Super Poly, Toons can dodge.
>>569299912I don’t count the end phase recycle
>>569300089>I don't count [thing so good about the deck some people from time to time cone complain about how unfair that good thing is]
>>569298621Its getting advantage in a phase hats mostly uniteractable since most quick effects are main phase only. The deck can also play very easily on your opponents turn and has premier removal in the form of fusions that can use your opponents monsters on top of your dragons plussing again on their turn if the opponent gets rid of them. You're out resourcing the opponent turn after turn, how on earth is that bad?
>>569300209going to end phase is basically admitting defeat, no effect is good enough to warrant ending your turn for it
Stop talking to the retardLet him experience it first hand when he gets raped by Branded on the ladder after tomorrow
>>569300349oh no all your end phase effects are soooo scary…Anyway *blows up your board and OTKs*
I do not consent to (You) touching my extra deck.
>>569301871I think you mean /our/ extra deck
>>569301871Don't care. Kashtira Unicorn, banish his SP Little Knight.
Did I buff this enough to be a staple?
To OTK Branded you first need to play around Quem, who calls people to jump on you.You also need to deal with the Spells/Traps: what if they set a Quick-Play or something like Branded Banishment (go read the card).You can't even negate it if they have Branded Lost face-up.There's also other stuff like Mercourier to annoy you.Or them simply banishing Branded Opening against a field wipe.Some anon either clearly didn't read the card or doesn't knows how the deck words.Branded is not currently a tiered deck, but it can do some bullshit if it goes first.This is like downplaying Sky Striker.
>>569302851I don’t think a card can be equipped to multiple monsters

Is this a new tactic from downplayers?To shitpost and troll about how weak and fragile their deck is therefore it deserves to keep receiving support?
>>569303662Go on.What next?There are cards in hand, set cards in the Spell/Trap zone, Branded Lost face-up and things for Quem to do stuff with in the GY.
>>569304282feather duster
>>569297712What do you mean?Its a good sidegrade to IP, you even get the option to use it as an Lavagolem with Underworld Goddes
>>569303662I let it go through then use dogmatika encounter set with thunderbolt to summon white albaz to bring back ecclesia & dragon to bring back Cartesia to fuse into granguignol to send albion or titaniklad for follow up Then as soon as you try any play i use fallen & virtuous to summon incredible ecclesia tag into albaz fuse into dogma shuffle your gy resources back to deck then i use granguignol to get dokmatika ecclesia and search fleurdelis for an extra non-target negate
>>569304934>follow up it’s so cute that you think you’re getting another turn
>>569304395What's next?Your 1 card starter?Your Called By?What else?Wow, you had to hard draw to draw 2 limited cards (potentially 3) to stop a very consistent board of a untiered deck? Amazing. Very good.
>>569305216raigeki isn’t limited
>>569305291>what is called by
>>569305451a card that I did not mention
>>569305098Yeah very cute that you think you can deal with a 3500 atk tower unaffected by everything and a monster that cannot be destroyed by battle with extra deck monsters after losing 2 bodies on the field and somehow manage to otk through all that
>>569305519Ok, so you're gonna beat Branded without Called By? Very nice.Just Feather Duster isn't enough.
>>569297712you can pair it with abaoaqu on the field to use both the link-off and the negate on the opps turn, it cannot possibly fill the void apollousa left behind but it's an okay card
>>569305559numeron could otk through that
soul release, response?
Yeah yeah um hum Branded is a very shit deck that easily loses to a snort therefore its a fair and honest deck so you can't hate it except for hating it because its dogshit weak
>>569305759Ok cool then instead of using f&v to revive I just sit on it to pop your field spellWhat now nerd
The final solution to the branded question
>>569306710>cant otk nowretard
Quem being a "Dogmatika" card is OK.Quem being a card that mentions "Fallen of Albaz" is also OK.But I don't like the fact that she is also a "Despia" card.Did they do it on purpose?
>>569306489>doing takie backsies I accept your concession
>>569306845What advantage does it being despia even have? No one is gonna use branded opening to lock themselves out of synchros and the other decent ways to get her on the field rely on the dogmatika or fallen of albaz parts
Love how K9VS can just casually deal 4800 damage to you with almost no effort.Thank god it requires running multiple monsters to satisfy attributes, else imagine if they could run board breakers like >>569306710 then just casually screw you with burn damage
>>569306710we will just summon sanctifire and give you a body don't embarrass yourself
>>569307198doesn’t branded fusion (the only good card in the deck and the main reason to play it) already lock you?
>xe is unawarebuy $$$ the masterclass course
>>569307576>thinking anyone cares about branded fusion in 2026Grandpa, I got some news for you...
>>569307282Can't you just pop the body with F+V?At least, I see a lot of synergy with Evenly + F+V, pop evenly to dodge a target negate or pop any attempt to put a monster on board

Dead game.Dead general.Like pottery.Unfortunately I can't post the charts.
funny how we always get gacha third worlder shittery at this time
Numbers are almost as low as last sunday, by the way.Next we will see how much the numbers will peak after maintenance and new pack.>>569312172Talking about player numbers in the morning before going to work makes for a very comfy day.Because I know my numbers are right, my thoughts are coherent, my logic is sound and my reasoning is impeccable.The numbers are always right. The only way to defeat numbers is with more numbers. Which master duel can't do because it obviously has no numbers kek.
yep that is about what I expect to be going on in the brain of a gacha third worlder
>>569313018But I'm not wrong though.How can you ever possibly defeat numbers without more numbers?
behold, this is unironically how they think
>I talent>yummy + elfnote>send back the yummy>negate the elfnote>scoopsis this a thing or were they throwing shit at the wall?
>>569294597white albaz is that good
>>569313802>become white>become more successfulwhat did they mean by this?
>>569313376Are you truly unaware?Numbers can only be defeated by other numbers.
>>569294597It's a +2, dumbass.>send from hand to grave a card that triggers in the grave (e.g. Saronir)>send from ED to grave a card that triggers in the grave (e.g. Albion red)>search a cardIf you have Ash and Maxx C/Fuwa, you use Ash on High Spirits, even if you know that they have BraFu. (You use Maxx C/Fuwa in response to BraFu, so they stop themselves from full comboing)
KITKALLOS VS HABAKIRIWHO IS BETTER
>>569314175>>send from hand to grave a card that triggers in the grave (e.g. Saronir)>>send from ED to grave a card that triggers in the grave (e.g. Albion red)that's the other cards triggering, not the high spirits itself being a plusthere are plenty of ways to send cards from deck and extra to the grave that don't neg you
>>569314175>don't ash brafudon't listen to this dumbass, he's an unplaying shitter
>save Ash for Branded Fusion>they only use it after they already did everything else because they guessed you'd have it
>>569314049his hair is what turned white
I JOINED HERE TO POST ABOUT HUGE TITSNOBODY CARES ABOUT THEORYCRAFTING SHIT THAT WILL HAPPEN IN 1 EVERY 5 DUELS>MUH BRANDED>MUH DORMOUSE>MUH KASHITRA>MUH IMPULSE
>>569314842he got old?
>>569314418nah he is right. high spirits is a higher value card. you people are so traumatized by branded fusion and you will see that some lists will entirely cut it out soon
>>569314884Then you're in the wrong general.
>>569314884then post huge tits already
So... about that Ash...
>>569314418You were already gonna Maxx C/Fuwa their plays, which would make them only go to Sanctifire instead of full combo (Albion red, Lubellion set up Branded Lost, make Mirrorjade, set a Fusion backrow with Albion, possibly even set up a Quem, and search a Mercourier when they fuse again).You're making them choose to not do all that (and it's something they ALL do), PLUS Ashing their High Spirits.You're the unplayer.>>569314374>that's the other cards triggering, not the high spirits itself being a plusSame thing, tard.You're setting up TWO cards, AND searching. The only "neg" here is your faggot ass.
>>569315340>Same thing, tard.it's literally not
I bet that there are retards in this thread that saw all this branded discussion and still don't get what the fuck is being talked about.Then in about 10 hourw they will come complaining about how they got molested.
>This was lost by your shipping service. We have refunded you as a courtesy but will not do so again.Fucking retarded card shop.
>>569315205as a branded player the thing with ash is that you have multiple scenariosashing high spirits has the highest value if you're preventing a dragon monster discard/send (titaniklad, dogma, albion)if they're dumping a spellcaster or winged beast (fuwa) instead (granguignol/rindbrumm) then the ash is better used on fallen of the white himself (because most of the time if i'm leading high spirits it's because i already have a way to get to white albaz without it)the thing is that you're not gonna know which since the discard happens on resolution, not as cost
Please Kitt mate on update onegai
>>569315874>tcgtake this shit to dng
>>569316150You will never be a janny.
>master duel incredibly fast rnIs the servers empty
fucking hell can't it be tomorrow quicker man i already applied to 5 different jobs today knowing that i either will get ghosted or rejected like the other 50 i've applied to last month at least let me play fucking branded it's unironically the only thing i'm looking forward that is preventing me from just killing myself right fucking now
>>569316436I'd get my jobseekers taken away if I was only applying to 50 jobs a month, wheres the fuckin rest?
>>569316436there is still 10 hours until the game opens you gotta find something else to play today
>>569306710Card's dead in this format. I'm not sure it'll ever come back.
>>569315731It's mostly the same deck lmao, even with the new pop spell.
>hourw
kt is fine except for the floodgatesentirely unnecessary additions
>>569317725synchro decks are dishonest slop and deserve it. when the generic omni negates are banned and cards stop reading "1 tuner + 1 non tuner" my opinion might change
The only reason that people hate KT is how easily KT can fucking recover after forcing you to spend almost half of your resources to break their board
>>569319102I hate KT because I don't have it and it's better than my deck
>Baronne and Savage legal in OCG and Master Duel>both banned in TCGHmmmmm nothing something here
>nothing something here
>>569318965>cards stop reading "1 tuner + 1 non tuner"i also think every xyz should read "2 monsters with different levels"
>>569318965>kewl tune is not dishonest and not slopwhat a relief
>>569319509being disingenuous doesn't make you kewl
>>569319102>how easily KT can fucking recoverkt has no recovery at allit just has like 15 one card starters and every handtrap is an extender
If Omni Negate bad, why do people not complain about Magia and it's Omni Negates that it can use THREE times per card type
>>569319509how about>two cards with the same [name] in their text with the same level>>569319729it actually isn't
>>569319838We do.
>>569319838kek, do you know how shit you have to make your deck to summon magia?
>>569319838it doesn't say that
>>569319838nobody plays that shit
>>569319838le oldfage/animu deck always gets a free passthat's why hero can be chock full of floodgates and no one cries about it as much as stun
>>569314418Even well before the new support, if you saw High Spirits first, you fucking Ash that because it would lead to Branded Fusion anyway. That card has always been insane, especially if they pitched Saronir. Now it's an even crazier card.
Should I dismantle Rokket or hold on to it for some festival/wait for overframe support?
>>569319838The card classes aren't equal. Generally speaking there is little benefit to your omni negate being live against trap cards, the going 2nd opponent generally can't activate trap cards.Spells are the most likely to trade with more of your interactions than monsters, so having a spell negate is going to be as good as an omni >50% of the time.Monster negates are weak unless they also negate + destroy, which at least magia doesSo it's essentially just a spell/monster negate for a lot of loops, with the same resources you could get Spirit Dragon and Blazar on the field with a harder to crack board
>card classes
What the fuck are you retards arguing about now
>>569319838magia is a blowout card
>>569320558The only time I would consider ashing anything that isn't branded fusion is when I also had Retaliating "C", because the Branded player wouldn't even go into Sactifyre, their best play is Rindbrumm + Mercourier which is the easiest board to outI get that new branded doesn't care about brafu so much but until Dracoshit is kill and as long as KTS is legal retaliate is still a mandatory include for me
its annoying that even with the new support making bystial dis pater is still very hard with branded cards, it's easier with Synchron and RDAeven lulu is easier to make with the new swordsoul synchro so long as you don't let white albaz lock you into level 8s
>>569322034>its annoying that even with the new support making bystial dis pater is still very hardYES THAT IS ANNOYING. I never get to use this thing.
>>569322249bro never played mannadium even with a mannadium royal
I used Spright Elf eff on my opponent's Main Phase to reborn Jet or Red, which is the stronger endboard?
I want to be good at using DDD but I feel like a smooth brain when I watch Taro play because something I have no idea where he gets his lines from
>>569323184like with other complex decks you just have to ram your head into it until you understanduse d/d/d as your solo duel daily clearer and once you're somewhat familiar with the cards pilot it on ladderyou're going to lose and make retarded mistakes and throw away duels you could've won but that's just how it goes at first
>>569323178The top one is better
>>569323671InterestingWhat about Sprind dump Vision Resonator, search Crimson Gaia, add RDA's Chain, then use Elf to revive Jet for another search?Assume I have enough hand target to negate 3 monsters on opponent's board
>>569323178depends on the opponent's deck top has more interaction on the board but bottom can make w:p or a knightmare or something
>>569300231>Its getting advantage in a phase hats mostly uniteractablebraindead trannies are fans of this?
>>569324318if they liked playing the game they'd use an actual deck
Took me 5 hours to go from Plat 3 to Plat 2 with switching between a going first and going second version of my deck and it didn't mattered, because either:A. Drew all Engine while going second with my going second deckor B. Drew Handtraps, Lava Golems and breakers going first Toss was 7-13 the last 20 games, I don't know what Konami did to the queue but everybody today is on mega tilt, me included, like everybody either wins toss, bricks or wins toss and has full gas or lost toss and doesn't has any gas.The only exception was against a Mitsu player, where we both bricked and always only drew non-engine, duel went 10 turns.
>>569321903Consider that Branded Fusion was at 1 for quite a while in the past. The math didn't make sense to hold Ash for Branded Fusion. Even if it were at 3, though I'd still fucking do it.
Does anyone know the name of that Evil Twins x A Bao A Qu doujin (where they're in a brothel or something)?Thank you, please.
>>569322034Konami doesn't like Bystials. Mag is limited in every format, Druis limited in paper, Lube limited in OCG.You're supposed to resolve Mag on your opponent's turn, search Aluber, Sync 10 for Dis Pater.
no more branded lost... the deck has lost its soul
>>569326606*the deck has branded lost its soul
Called By back to 3 please
>>569240242>You have to rely on continuous spell/traps to survive, which every modern deck can pop just as part of their combo.yeah I don't think many players realize that continuous S/T are a built in weakness and never a strengthif they want a deck to be resilient they print normal spell/traps with GY effects like Memento, a Case for K9 was clearly intended to be a field spell but making it that searchable is too broken
If I use Snatch Steal and take my Opponent's monster, can I use it to make Jupiter?
>r*zeal dead in a ditch>maliss still alive and thrivingbest timeline
Excuse me?
>>569240242>Ariseheart has too low ATK for a Boss monster, powercreep got that bad.3k is a good sweet spot where people can realistically out it without saccrifice their follow up. It is by designed.>You have to rely on continuous spell/traps to survive, which every modern deck can pop just as part of their combo.You can always recycle them, although a bit clunky by modern standard.I think kash has a good design in a vacumm, but unfortunately is not aligned with how other deck were designed ( depends on one critical card, smallest as possible deck, everything is rely on the GY now).
Get mogged rated players
>>569329063>>569328948Dead gameEOS imminent
>>569325839There is no doujin.
>>569328948i for one haven't played a single match since the ranked reset and have just accumulated dailies to blow a huge load on ecclesia's massive forehead tomorrow morning
>>569328998>3k is a good sweet spot where people can realistically out it without saccrifice their follow up. It is by designed.>meanwhile konami prints towers or pseudo towers with 3k+ or even 5k ATK with either a negate or non-target banish and dodge on it>"You get the macro cosmos 3k beater with no protection and a targeting banish for a whole of 3 material you have to risk being nibbed on"Dishonest fuck>You can always recycle them, although a bit clunky by modern standard.Don't worry you can hold that 2nd Kashtira Birth for next game :)
>>569325839Thats just a few images one guy made not a full doujin.
>>569329063>>569328948Everyone already moved up to master. You're left behind.
>>569330430>targeting baishLmao
>>569331105
>>5693304305ks are almost never printed and the rare times they are they almost always suck ass. They're basically supposed to be god tier
Imagine if they sneak the RDA stuff into the pack and didn't say shit. No announcement or anything.
>>569328264The power patron? As long as it's equipped with two other equips, sure.
>>569331581Too much good value. At best they'd sneak it in a different pack they release at the same time but more realistically they'll save it for a non-meta month right before they release something big and important as bait for F2P player's gems. Personally I'm waiting for Overdrives. I hope they don't wait for an anniversary to do it though I wouldn't be surprised.
Do I build Sky Striker or 40 card Branded next?I'm sitting at 6k gems and 270 UR.
>>569331527>Liger Dancer>not only tower and 3,8k ATK>also can attack twice, per copy>can nuke your board, twice>Dragoon>pseudo Power>negates and goes to 4k>1 - 2 Monster pops if you cheated him out with Verte and DM + Red-eyes>Blue-Eyes Ultimate>pseudo floodgate>negates and gives follow up
>>569331787They're awesome looking but they won't change too many decks fundamentally. Hilariously, they're way too pricey for many tcg and ocg players to afford so I COULD be wrong.
Can I get a quick rundown on Enneacraft? Does it prefer going first or second? What's the win condition?
>>569331508yeah what do you think i'm, laughing about?
>>569332095Liger dancer realistically shouldn't be as strong as it is but they already had a 3k fusion and this is supposed to be the 'evolved' version so whatever. I don't like it being so strong and this feels like a cheap way to make it better than it should be.Dragoon is exactly as strong as he should be for the card he is, this is a dumb complaint. First off Ultimate isn't a floodgate, you're thinking of Spirit, second off that's what happens when you have to evolve an already 3k monster. Also it hits 4500 because that's the stat like of the OG Blue-eyes fusion monster.
>>569332273>does it prefer going first or secondFirst preferably but it's rather hard to stop it going second>win conditionburn or just raw disruption, the burn damage can just murder an opponent if you have two pend scales and enough flips
>>569332095you managed not to list a single 5k monster. congratulations.
>>569332273>Does it prefer going first or second?first, but some of the bigger guys can help going second.>what's the planbasically stun or the burn damage it can deal, may want a few pot of riches to recycle from the ED for grindier games
>>569332384>First off Ultimate isn't a floodgate>Your opponent cannot banish cards from your GY.https://www.masterduelmeta.com/cards/Blue-Eyes%20Ultimate%20Spirit%20Dragon
>>569332484None of the pots are good idea for enneacraft. You COULD play extravagance if you aren't using the extra whatsoever.
>>569332520Oh. That ''''floodgate'''' is so niche I forgot it existed lmao. Yeah whatever, this affects like...Bystials I guess? Maybe Exoshitters. I guess it counts.
>>569332449You can activate 1 of these effects;● Destroy this card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Power Patron" monster from your hand or GY.● Destroy this card, also for the rest of this turn, "Power Patron" monsters you control whose original Level is 12 gain 5000 ATK.You can only use this effect of "Vidolium the Unstable Power Patron of Unity" once per turn.[ Monster Effect ]Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set.Must be Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck or GY) by returning 3 monsters (1 Fusion, 1 Synchro, and 1 Xyz) from your face-up field and/or GY to the Extra Deck.Unaffected by monster effects, except "Power Patron" monsters.If this card is added to your Extra Deck face-up: You can add 1 "Power Patron" card from your Deck to your hand.You can only use this effect of "Vidolium the Unstable Power Patron of Unity" once per turn.If this card is Special Summoned: Banish (face-down) all cards in the GYs.ATK/ 5000 DEF/ 0https://www.masterduelmeta.com/cards/Vidolium%20the%20Unstable%20Power%20Patron%20of%20Unity
>>569332630>>569332520That's not a floodgate, it's protection. That's like saying a card that gives your monsters destruction protection is floodgating your because they can't raigeki. Don't be retarded.
>>569332709Notice how this thing doesn't actively do anything when it's summoned on the field as a monster and it's just used for combo lines?
Vanity's Ruler isn't a floodgate, it's protection. It protects me from you special summoning monsters.
>>569333052Vanity's ruler doesn't say "you cannot special summon to your opponent's field"
>>569333052Damn, you really got salty at him BTFOing you out. Come on man, I even forgot the banish graveyard effect (that is mostly trash and meh at best) for the pendulum guy. I was setting you up.
Naturia beast isnt a floodgate, it just protects from your spells
>>569332765That's not a floodgate, it's protection.
Is the ennea field spell important or can i run a runick package?
You're really bad at this.
how come konami printed TWO FLOODGATES in ONE CARD??
>>569333278the burn damage is how they close the game
>>569333376This must be why toons are making a comeback in the OCG
>>569333278LMAO yeah dude! Try it out! Runick it up Josh
Why did so many people meltdown over this card? It's just basic protection.
>>569333376>you can banish 1 card from the top of your deck insteadPretty much naturia beast on steroids. Hope it never comes to master duel.
>>5693337031/10 trolling. Barely deserved a response
>>569333703I like to imagine you're actually this stupid. It's really funny,
>>569333703I wonder why they give such shit arts to actual decent cards.While cards with good art get the shit effect treatment.
