Elysium targetting itself is a full-field wipe because it's treated as having all attribute, right?

>>573577450
can't even summon mirrorjade with it since predaprimitive locks you into plants/dragons and if you use branded fusion then you can't summon the predaplant synchro, not to mention that if you don't search instant fusion then that makes it harder to summon ambulomelides
you'd just be making your deck worse and less consistent
>>
>>573578696
it was just dracotail they dont care about the synchro predpalants. it's extra consistency.
>>
>>573579150
having to run byblisp and a predaplant name, and praying you don't draw them, just to lock yourself out of spellcasters is not exactly what I would call extra consistency. it's just a guy having fun with a bad list.

So what's the next meta deck and what are its weaknesses? I would like an answer that isn't "play the mirror" or "play the second best deck" if possible

My understanding is that toon isn't actually that good by itself? The main "problem" is it vomits bodies that lets you get to a lot of strong generic link monsters or something?

Man, why are there no cards that prevent link summoning? You have soft flood gates that fuck with levels that brick xyz and synchro summoning, you can negate fusion spell cards to prevent fusions, cards like dimension barrier stops most other forms of special summoning but... As far as I know, link summoning will always be free since the only thing it cares about is having enough monsters around. Your only options are no special summoning floodgates and that's it.

Like, what? Are we going to see the return of shit like eldlich and shaddoll and stun just to stymie the linkslop? Kaijus, lava golem and nibiru? Fucking kashtira to block off monster zones?

Okay surely toon can't be THAT good. I remember people talking this way about snake-eyes and while that was a fucking insane time, absolutely fucking ridiculous, it wasn’t UNBEATABLE. Are people just doomposting or has the power creep really been that fucking bad? I've had a long hiatus and haven't been keeping up, i straight up have no idea.

Like, surely fucking toon can't be an instant win tier 0 deck. You target toon world and then you win.

Toon always had busted support. Its just that they didn't have enough good monsters. They finally got good monsters.
Popping toon world doesn't really do anything because its so easily replacable. Toon also has no locks, so its highly splashable.
>>
>>573582219
...So, what? Its the next engine like fiendsmith you just splash into everything? I really dislike those kinds of engines, they make the game feel too samey. Personally I like it when you have distinct decks battling it out. Instead its just baiting out all of the opponent's interaction with the splashable engine before you do your real combo (the opponent cannot ignore the engine and let it go unchecked either though, because the advantage would be too strong).

>>573580250
toon is what enables mind scan, which is 90% of the point of the deck. you have perfect information at all times so you can easily turn your opponent's 5-6 card hand into a house of bricks by just hitting the correct chokepoints. it's rotary's effect on steroids.
>>
>>573583504
Okay but no really how do i do research on this game? I've tried yugipedia and its a little closer to what i want, but only for some decks. What I'm after is a way to learn what a deck does and some kind of review/analysis on how it actually performs. Especially in master duel, I'm not really interested in TCG/OCG since that uses different lists.

I've looked at some youtube videos but a lot of them are kinda slop? Like, they all feel rushed as hell and barely contain anything useless. I'm not expecting a 2 hour deep dive or anything but I also don't want the equivalent of a lore video that's just reading a wiki page out loud.

yugioh moves insanely fast so any review will be outdated 3 months later. if you want to know how a deck is currently performing you can go to a yugioh website of your choice and look for recent usage percentages. if you want to learn how to play a deck you should look for video guides from the past few months.

there's no point in even playing if you don't resolve maxx c or fuwa, every deck can easily push past one ash or ghost belle, and fucking droll seems to only ever appear in my hand in the most useless matchups like orcust/elfnote/fiendslop/stun, just to proceed and get fucked by RT striker (the one matchup it's supposed to win) because he drew half of his deck in the drawphase

You're not playing the deck pure because it has dogshit tcg exclusive restrictions. The card you posted effect is a "only one effect per turn" on basic extension from hand and a foolish for the machine gadgets. Even if it can do both the deck has genuine difficulty making more than one xyz monster and the gadgets work against the making more than one rank 4 because they want to be on the field along with the time thief xyz for the disruption.

see that's why i'm dumb, if i interpret that as written i could reveal final sigma to search nabla, after all, "mathmech nabla" is a synchro material and "1 tuner" is mentioned on final sigma. which nabla is. UNLESS the word 'mentioned' tacitly means 'exact name'?

Yeah it has to be "exact name"
For example all the Killer Tune Synchros that list "Kewl Tune Clip + Tuner" as example.
Or Deep Sea Repetiteur which has:
>"Deep Sea Diva" + 1+ non-Tuner monsters
You would be able to special summon or add to your hand Deep Sea Diva.
It can't be generic like " 1 tuner + 1 non-tuner minster"

What Synchro Overtake cares about is the names written in red boxes in this image.
If there isn't a name listed of "The explicit Monster to either add to hand or special summon" + 1 tuner , it won't work.
And you can only add or special summon that exact named monster and not the other generic one.
In these two cases it's either Deep Sea Diva or Kewl Tune Reco

Not in the slightest.

Light attribute doesn't help any VS activation.
The card requires GY setup, and VS is pretty bad at filling the GY.
Also it requires 3 different attributes in the GY + a different attribute in the deck, 4 in total, VS only has 3 attributes.
Not even a relevant level to pivot into K9 like VS often do.

I think so. I played a couple matches and found myself getting wrecked by things that would be a piece of cake to counter if I had the twins in my hand.

yeah Shiina is unnecessary in RT Zoo which is just the demonstrably better deck at this point. even in pure, for every game that Shiina wins you there are two more where it's sitting awkwardly in hand or too low impact to matter. you go from running 3 to 2 to debating if it's worth it at all

swordsoul? they still play the same as ever. You can cope and shove a lot of tenyi cards in the deck to try and make them keep up with the times but you'll fail. They need support badly.
Most of all more consistency and a good boss to increase the ceiling.
Passing turn because you got mo-ye negated is relic of its time.

>but everybody is on branded now and anything that hits the opp's ED is basically giving them advantage
I've been out of the Dogmatika loop for a while, but yeah just don't play Maximus at all and only use Lawbringer as a way to recover resources. I think the only reasonable way to play Dogmatika is leaning into the Branded stuff, but that begs the question of why play what is basically just a shittier version of Branded instead of Branded? Else I think Dogmatika Regenesis is the next best option, but Regenesis is pretty ass.

I'm gonna be 100% honest here. About anything can win going first uninterrupted.
Like seriously setting up a board=win most of the time, the problem is in the going second.
You options are
Handtrap hell
Board breakers
Extension
In archetype advantages for going second

Now if you want to try out a deck, use masterduelpro or edopro. Really try out a dexk. Outside of that combo videos are usually too rose tinted

Also I like mbts 10 min testing, the dude is ass but will tell you about a deck with honesty
>>
>>573646907
>About anything can win going first uninterrupted.
This isn't true. If you're playing something older than 2023 you do not have enough interactions going first to handle a modern deck going second.
Also, newer decks like Blitzclique are completely incapable of a competent board going first. They were designed to be low power.
>>
>>573647612
>This isn't true. If you're playing something older than 2023 you do not have enough interactions going first to handle a modern deck going second.
Nigga that's the "set 10 interactions" era of ygo, you are in the "layered interaction era rn. Konami support policy in that time was either floodgate or turnskip.

>But God damn, dogmatikamatrix is cool af
One of the things I am still struggling with in deckbuilding is previous builds you were summoning something that put a monster on your opponent's field turn 1 to get the bonus add off Matrix, now there's no space for that and it feels really hard to resolve a Gen/Ken in this meta in the first place. I've tried out some other things like Shien's Smoke Signal on Ecclesia after she searches Matrix, Mithra the Thunder Vassal, Indulged Darklord, and Girsu but it all feels bad. Girsu probably has the most potential, but lol if you're resolving Girsu before anything else, you can probably do whatever the fuck you want and win any way no one is gonna let you do that. Gen and Ken are still the most degenerate because they actually activate on your opponent's side and make Talent/Thrust live.

....Literally none of the decks I'm interested in are capable of going second. Not even a little. Too many of them are older decks that got SOME support but not enough to realistically play through an established board. Am I just fucked?

Annoyingly there's not a lot of point asking for decks that can go second because the answer is always "whatever is currently meta and bullshit OTK decks like tenpai and numeron". I'm a contrarianfag that refuses to play anything meta but its really getting harder to not with the constant power creep. Man I'm really not looking forward to Toon, it sounds like it would be stronger than Tear with nothing limited and at full power including Ishizu by the way people doompost around it.

Traptrix, shaddoll, maybe dinomorphia too (I am putting that off since its super expensive though).

>But Shaddoll is getting new support that lets you summon on the opponent's turn
Yeah but from what I've seen online, it IS a giant boon for shaddoll but its hugely dependent on you having the right combination of cards in hand to allow to send during the opponent's turn and act as materials for the fusion summon. So chances are, its unlikely you'll actually get a hand like that and you still want to go first anyway

Kind of? Its full of guides for meta and tiered decks at least. But a lot of it is deck building and combo centric, which isn't what I want.

Will it see generic use? It is tougher to use than you think because the monsters on the opponent's field need to match up with the tuners + nontuners in your hand. KT for example could never use this on 1 monster because it has to reveal a non tuner.
If paired with other cards like Accusation or MMF it can be quite strong at blanking a field
>>
Remind me, summoning a monster is a chainable action and the monster isn't considered to have "landed" on the field properly so effects don't apply right? Like, I don't think they're allowed to chain their own quick effects to a trap card you activate in response to the summon? But passive effects still apply, or something?

I vaugely recall something about the order of cards too. Like, if Skill Drain was activated the turn previous, then unaffected by card effects monsters still become affected by skill drain? But if the monster was summoned last turn then flipping skill drain does nothing this turn?

Oh, so dinomorphia is still an option? I still need a ton of CP for it but its nice to know.

I personally like decks that tell the opponent to fuck off in some way, which is why Iike floodgate and trap decks

>Then why not Lab?
I honestly don't really see Lab as a true trap deck. Its traps are mostly combo pieces and the only real trap feeling traps it has is rollback shenanigan shit. I feel like as a TRAP deck, Paleo does that too but in a way that feels like a proper trap deck

Urgh, I really don't like this format of video. Personal views about MBT aside, the only bits that are relevant to me are the 2 minutes at the end where he goes through the pros and cons, but its such an afterthought its hard to really get a feel for the deck?

I don't have to imagine. Most lists don't play mosquito because using it at all isn't realistic, let alone on turn 2.

....So, like, what? You summon 3 of these and use its effect on the same monster with 3000 ATK on the opponent's side so you can deal 9000 LP damage? But wait, you don't have enough of these cards to set counters and trigger them on the same turn. How do you use this? You're fishing for a monster with 4000 ATK to do two procs of 4000 LP instead?

Huh. Briefly looking at it, it does seem kinda cool. I like the ancient egyptian aesthetic (its what got me into YGO to begin with). That being said, looking at what people are actually doing with it on MDM it really just looks you need a branded engine to play it since so many people use it, and then at that points its like why not play branded? There's shockingly little of the actual archetype in this deck so I'm not really able to figure out how you play it.

Like, what's the point of skill drain if you're playing a deck that also uses effect monsters? But I don't see skill drain being used if you're using primite when you'd think that'd be the optimal time for it since you want to use vanillas?

Also, I keep seeing this branded anime card. I thought it was just for the branded engine but looking at it, it seems a ton of decks are running 2 or even 3 copies. Is everyone running a branded engine now? 6th most played card and 2nd most played spell is fucking insane, but its not even a generic card. Its EXPLICTLY for branded/dogmatika stuff. Did branded get more support?
>>
>>573656801
the "branded engine" you're talking about is 3 f&v and albion+dogma+black ecclesia, to which the latter all resides in ED

>Oh, so dinomorphia is still an option? I still need a ton of CP for it but its nice to know.
It's not. Take it from a day 1 MD player and day 1 dinomorphia player, the deck sucks
just this meta you have the following hard counters
>fallen and the virtuous popping rex
>super poly fusing your entire field
>droplet negating rex and making you easy to kill
>fydraulis harmonia popping rex and regina from the hand or sending pegasus to spin rex
>RT negating rex with the trap
>spellcaster slop fusing your rex away
>killer tuner mix popping rex from grave
>pan popping rex from grave
>sky striker curbstomping you by breathing
>VSK9 popping you with the trap or druiswurm
>odion negating rex with the traps and you not having easy access to non battle removal
>Lab bouncing rex or any of the million traps lab runs that can remove stuff
>yummy bouncing rex
>mitsu kaiju-ing rex or popping it with magatama
And yes, people can cope all they want, but at the end of the day dinomorphia is a protect the castle type of deck because you NEED rex on field. you will never pick one of the counter traps over access to rex and your engine cant set up more than rex unless you already drew into generic stuff or already drew access to rex.
And the Lab buttler play is pretty neat but just remember all your traps can get ashed.
I can write an entire fucking TIMELINE of all the times dinomorphia got fucked in the meta by new decks or card releases from the moment they released in the TCG/OCG/MD

I mean, maybe? It just seems like foolish but for branded so you're allowed to have it at 3 instead of 1 right? I might be looking at the wrong cards or misunderstanding the combo though since it looks like Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon would only matter if you've already got a fusion monster in the graveyard? I'm going to guess the combo is something like:

>Use Fallen and Virtuous A
>Send Albion the Branded Dragon to the graveyard
>Fallen and Virtuous A lets you target and destroy 1 card on the field
>During the end phase, you add Fallen and Virtuous B to your hand
>You use Fallen and Virtuous B to target and destroy another card, but you send Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon this time
>Ecclesia targets Albion in the graveyard and one of your opponent's cards. Shuffles them plus itself back into your decks

That being said, I'm pretty sure if you've hit end phase you don't have the opportunity to roll it back and keep playing so you can set Fallen and Virtuous B right? It's not like when you declare end of main phase 1 and then something happens so you get the chance to cancel ending it. So the primary use case is going first, setting Fallen and Virtuous A, activating it to disrupt the opponent by destroying 1 card, and then adding Fallen and Virtuous B to your hand for your turn afterwards?

I get that its two destroys and a shuffle but it doesn't seem as strong as all the negate nonsense I'm used to from this kind of thing. Are negates not as strong anymore or something?
>>
>>573660078

albion for going second because it sets f&v on end phase so it's usable on turn 3

>So you're saying you wouldn't lose to destroy 1 card?

I ran Etude during Snake-Eyes and Snake-Eyes was able to generate bodies to either run over your bystial or bench it, turning off Etude and letting them kill you.

And if you need to Synchro climb to Dis Pater why not sit on B2B instead
>muh rituals, fusions, links
One of the relevant Link deks, Maliss is boosted by etude on the field, Mitsu is largely unaffected unless they have t use MItsu Ritual on a face up monster

dont even bother to FTK its just fun to blast the opponent a lil and just runover them with big ass machines next turn.
Feels good to go back to my very first MD deck.
>>
>>573666247
So basically its an "you better xyz only, and only shit with the word number in its name" card? But it also lets you special summon from the main deck as much as you want, and twice from the extra deck. Is it THAT bad? I feel like there are better special summon floodgates out there? Like, Winda lets you special summon once per turn and summon limit is two summons at all, including normal/tribute summoning.
>>
>>573666419
it's particularly dangerous because you can do it turn 0 before your opponent has reasonable ways to out it
>(1) (Quick Effect): You can send this card from your hand or field to the GY; place 1 "Seventh Barians" from your hand or Deck in your Field Zone face-up, also you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck until the end of your next turn, except Xyz Monsters.

the new boss monster is also a walking Droll, with a lot of cards that actively fuck with your opponent's deck (feels especially punishing for decks that focus on one single attribute, banishing the top 10 cards of their deck can be devastating and it's far from the only way they're removing your deck like Runick wished it could ages ago)
>>
>>573666419
some people are so normalized to shitting out half your ED for a combo that any limit on it is seen as a major floodgate
>>
>>573666651
I feel like that deck would probably only have xyz monsters then, so wouldn't stuff like KT or dimensional barrier hard counter it? I guess they could prevent you from getting to the required synchros but still.

...Also, banishing the top 10 cards doesn't seem that bad unless you're constantly doing it. People run pots that do that all the time. Kashtira probably banishes more cards off the top of your deck over time as well? But if they get to do that effect more than once then holy fuck that's broken as shit. Honestly you just win off that alone, fuck anything else. Throw down shifter or some shit and card destruction, fuck it.

Are we starting to reach terminal stages of power creep? The floodgates, turn 0 shit, hand peeking, messing directly with the deck, super blowout board breakers that cannot even be negated, more and more cards with 3+ effects and "your opponent cannot respond" clauses
I guess the acceleration of powercreep has always been there but it went exponential sometime in 2022-23 and now it feels like an entirely different game
I don't even think I'll want to keep playing once toons and chaos ritual hit MD, those were the ones that really made me say enough bullshit is enough

>I guess the acceleration of powercreep has always been there but it went exponential sometime in 2022-23 and now it feels like an entirely different game
With the exception of Tears, the biggest step in power creep was Crossover Breakers with Maliss and Ryzeal.
Snake-Eyes format was Gouki format 2.0, where a single broken Link monster centralized the game around itself. The only time Apollousa didn't dominate the game was during the Tear format.
Maxx "C" and Droll were still sufficient at policing the stupid bullshit even through 2024, it's not until Crossover Breakers where those cards don't feel like enough.

I feel like those effects + floodgates are tacit admission engines are too powerful and the only way to stop them are preventing them from being searched or activated.
>super blowout board breakers that cannot even be negated
Mind Mirror Force and WGT are powerful but they are still "draw the out" type cards, basically unsearchable, and the way to dig for them like Pot of Sloth is also unsearchable. They aren't reliable solutions compared to an unstoppable engine that can play through any half board like KT.
>>
>>573671384
That card is completely useless when summoning harmonia as the turn 2 player
11 has cards like PEP, Destorbin, and Juraishin. 10 has Baronne, Chaos Angel. 9 has nothing to help break boards

>Hopefully tier 4 at best
Yeah but it will be some sacky shit, since the link lock is "for the rest of this turn".
So any deck that can banish dormouse from the deck, or send it to the GY then banish it: is maliss support.
This is already being reflected in card design future-proofing.
Else why do you think they made pic related unsearchable (it doesn't mention "Invocation" anywhere)? Because else normal summon Aleister could do HRT and troon out into Dormouse!
>>
>>573672717
Wouldn't be an issue if the card would only be searchable by Aleister and Aleister would Fusion lock you on summon.
It's searchable with Thrust.
>>
>>573672463
It's a battle of attrition. You just have to hope your opponent doesn't know how to tell time which from my experience so far is most of them.
>>
>>573672996
>It's searchable with Thrust.
So is every other unsearchable win more card

what holds back harmonia are the targets imo

>>573671894

>>573673204
>"It's searchable with Thrust."
>>>>>>>>>>>(1) If you have an “Aleister” monster in your field, GY, or banishment: Activate 1 of these effects;
You require Aleister to use it. Thrust without the stroker would do nothing.
>>
>>573672996
>>573673565
So lets break it down:
You require Aleister to use the card, but its unsearchable by any Invoked card.
You can search the card with other methods, such as Thrust, but you still won't be able to use it.
So it being searchable by Aleister would make no difference.

>>573674540
RT is used exclusively to either:
>Link material + MST if Maliss name
>Cherubini if no Maliss name
If Maliss cards are released, yes, there will be no need for Radiant Typhoon anymore.
But consider that Maliss has flex slots.
Which means Invoked Maliss with a small Aleister engine for Okeanos could actually be a thing if Chalice was searchable.

Why are most "look at the opponent's hands" cards banned but toon gets a continuous trap that goes "fucking lmao I get to look at your hand AND your set cards AND I get to negate one card in a chain per turn"? Is this like, a difference between TCG and OCG philosophy? Because i notice it says banned in TCG and at 3 in OCG for Appointer here.

Also seriously how the fuck do get rid of mind scan? You'd need try and destroy it twice since mind scan will just protect itself the first time. Or are decks just so consistent these days that you already know what the opponent's endboard is going to be so hand knowledge doesn't matter anymore?
>>
>>573683328
>>>>>>>>>hand knowledge doesn't matter anymore
Is this the kind of shit /mdg/ says?
Handtraps and staples suddenly don't exist anymore.
Ever heard of cards like super poly or thrust?
>>
>>573683328
>Is this like, a difference between TCG and OCG philosophy?
yes, we don't call it the original clown game for nothing
>>
>>573683909
I mean let's be honest if your deck loses to hand traps its probably shit anyway. Board breakers like super poly is a little different but you should be playing around that anyway. Plus, its not as if you're setting and activating this on the same turn so you still don't know what the fuck the opponent has while you set up your board anyway, right?

...The punchline is that toon has a way to turn 0 this shit, right? You're gonna be like ">he doesn't know" ">oh no no" and show me some stupid bullshit.

a walbaz semi limit would be very funny

>>573685413
how does semi-limit works on card with the same name as other card (even during deck building)
>>
>>573583417
As a special case, we'll take all non-overlapping cards that'd unlock 3 secret packs or more.
For the rest, take each secret pack you've yet unlocked as a node in a graph, while the edge of the graph is card that'd unlock the the two secret pack
Your goal is to find a collection of edges (cards) that'd connect as many nodes as possible (unlocks as many secret pack as possible) without ever having a vertex that shares the same node (without unlocking packs that you've already unlocked).
That's apparently Maximum-cardinality matching problem
Which is apparently solved, but the solution is a pain in the ass to implement yourself
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum-cardinality_matching
>>
>>573687042
That is a different case from alternate arts.
The cards themselves don't have the same name: they only share the same name while a game is happening.
Outside the game? They are different cards.
So in my personal opinion hit on one wouldn't affect the other.
But I could be wrong. But it wouldn't really make sense otherwise because they aren't actually the same card, or even alts.
>>
>>573687897
>they only share the same name while a game is happening.

The fact that you can't have 3 walbaz and 3 albaz in the same deck indicates that they share the same name even outside the game though (during deck building)

This, I'm guessing? It's weirdly not very towery since its still affected by spells and traps. And XYZ monsters, of course. Then again I guess the whole point of numeron is they board break you first so you don't have spells/traps left to stop it?

Why the fuck does it take so long for decks to get secret packs? I get they're waiting for the deck to become completely irrelevant to keep the FOMO going strong but its always like, a year or more. Maliss still doesn't have a secret pack yet, is Konami worried they're still too good to give out to the plebian masses or something?

Like, wouldn't you get people spending free gems faster if you released packs sooner? Then they'd have to buy gems to keep up with pack releases, this doesn't feel like rocket science here. What is this genshin impact banner release cycle?

FOMO is konamis biggest seller so you have to get the cards on release or wait/ hard craft them if you missed the chance to pull them (For meta decks this means they will be tier 3 at best after being ravished by the banlist)

Reminder that Banlist in MD aren't made to fix current format.
But future formats (1-2 months in the future).
Remember when they limited the Solemns after the March 2026 duelist cup?
It was not because the playerbase complained about Odion loud enough, but to avoid from KT failing in sales because KT is really bad into solemn cards.

I hope this game dies even more with toons

>>573708229
That's true but if we are a few people then I guess that's not so bad otherwise the tournament will end quickly.
By the way, right now the Tournament is set to Swiss format so 3 Rounds total. If I put Double Elimination the number of rounds is 3 or 4. Please let me know if you prefer Round Robin (everyone has to duel 5+ times), Swiss (3 duels for each participant) or Double Elimination (like Swiss I guess?) Sorry I'm still experimenting with these tournaments lol

>>573679854
"When" is immediate, "If" can wait a bit
Think of "When your opponent [X[, negate it" vs Sera's "If a trap card is activated..."
So for "When this card is summoned..." the effect needs to be activated immediately.
If you summon something in the middle of a chain.
IE: You activate a trap which sends your opponent's card to the GY. Your opponent begins the next chain with that monster's sent to the GY effect, you chain Sera and summon Dionaea. On resolution, Dionaea is summoned. This is where your "When" would have to be activated. However, the chain hasn't fully resolved and moves to your opponent's GY effect. Since that "When" timing was blocked by your opponent's effect, the timing is missed.

Basically you need to summon "When this monster is summoned..." monsters as chain link 1 so that the summon effect resolves and you can immediately activate it without any other effects being resolved/activated between the summon and the "when" effect

A few reminders:
Tournament starts at 9 PM CEST when I write the message here, duels made before that are not counted.
Make sure your username in game is the same as the one in challonge (you can change your challonge name in the tournament page if needed or swap your master duel name too).
Make sure to do all your duels, at least 2 if you lose both or 3 if you win one and lose the next (Best of 3).
Make sure to register your score after each match accurately with your opponent's wins as well. If you make any mistake please say so and I'll fix it myself.
After the tournament start you are free to independently manage your duels with your opponents following the pair ups from challonge.

We are 7 right now so if any kind anon can join so that we reach an even number that would be great.

How did SS lose part of its core gameplay? Genuine question I don't necessarily disagree even
At least the design of the deck itself makes support feel more organic than what Konami is doing with the DM-era archetypes/series where the original cards either don't matter at all or are awkwardly mentioned in effects just to make it seem like they're relevant to the gameplay mechanic
>>
>>573718657
Feels like the deck is now pigeonholed into Zero turbo as its objectively superior to what the deck was doing before.
Its lot easier and streamlined to get into Sky Striker's winstate and I just find it less fun than how it played before.

>>
>>573719149
Not that anon I do also agree with you in a sense, but I think that also has to do with the cards around it at the moment. Lots of draw power and easy access to pretty unconditional removal with F&V. Its really accelerated a lot with the new quick play focus. It was a choice between improving the OTK ability and improving grind game which they kinda got both of with the new cards. I am glad the gameplan didn't cometely pivot to something outside of the "one man army" feeling of the deck at least. I'm anticipating that the next good support card is something that let's them recover banished cards. Then the deck will really have no weaknesses

Its pretty much a staple because its a quick effect After Burners that replaces itself basically. It also hits face up spells and traps without the 3 spell requirement. You can discard it off of visions too. It slots in really well. You could also play super poly for 2 ED slots, but what poly is accomplishing is pretty different. Well worth the investment since the package works with anything with the space for it

Definitely go for it. Its versatile too. You can hit your own stuff with it to dodge veiler and imperm and it just comes back in the end phase for free. The synchro you send off of the second one also bounces something to deck. It just works

The answer is neither. You're both catered to and spoonfed by Konami more than every other archetype in the game combined (Hero gets more cards but they're mostly dogshit) . And once your overpowered cookie cutter simplified slop isn't the best thing in the room you'll incessantly whine until you get another wave in a few years max.

What does evergreen support have to do with a deck's skill ceiling? Are you retarded?

why is the skytranny still lying about its game plan and pretending it's soulful?

riiight your turn 1 is so reactive and skillful bro it's definitely not just mash search spells and set up zero and linkage bro you're so smart and special

Disingenuously trivializing its gameplay mechanics is not an argument, sorry.
>>
>>573723493
why do you argue like a woman and passive aggressively post like a woman in every single thread?

Rem that was an honest (not ragequit) disconnect but I was getting destroyed anyways so gg

Seems I've struck a nerve. Judging by the pseudo-intellectual Leddit gotchas a I'm going to guess you're a seething Raye pedo. News flash: nobody cares which steaming pile of diarrhea is slightly less smelly than the other.

KsslssVrgn did you have enough gas to push through blazar F&V and harmonia?

Once again, I accept your concession. Truly Sky Striker is unrivaled both in terms of required skill and at making retards seethe
>>
>>573724281
GGs man, fucking MD.
lost count how many games that I lost thanks to that same bullshit
>>
>>573724393
I could have if I had ashed the f&v search but forgot the toggle was off so that's 100% my fault, anyways that's a clean sack so no complaints
>>
>>573724461
>Actually confirming you're a Skysharter out loud in front of everyone
Oh no no no sister, now nobody is going to take you seriously...
>>
>>573724602
Why wouldn't I confirm that I play SS?
Also, are you going to answer any of my questions, or will you keep avoiding them?
>>
by the way, did we agree that the player who loses the first match gets to go first on the second round or just roll with whatever the coinflip gives us?
>>
man I really fucking hate branded
>>
>>573724213
>>573724461
>SS players are actually this delusional
you know you can just say you want to have sex with the cards like everyone else and leave it at that
>>
man I really fucking hate sky striker
>>
>>573724757
Yeah that's up to you but I see that most anons just let the other one go first if they win their first duel.
>>
>>573724794
Could you answer any of the two questions in >>573723749 or would you prefer to keep deflecting instead of admitting you're wrong?
>>
>>573724249
Why are you stalking me, creep? And for your information I AM a proud and beautiful woman of color.
>>
>>573724859
i think i fucked that up then. won the second coinflip and went first anyway
>>

I-It's not usually like that bros...
>>
>>573724978
That's not a problem, I think next tournaments will just be single match round robin so that there won't be any issue like this.
>>
>>573724978
If you're nybeth dw about it, I wasn't going to win either way. Too many quick effects for a when monster. I was a bit bummed you had that answer to Waking the Dragon, but oh well.
>>
>>573724881
don't pin this on me I just think it's funny how much you care about proving your deck is the epitome of skill to chuds in a mongolian basket weaving forum
>>
>>573725121
bro chill we're not playing for anything, not even bragging rights since thankfully this general doesnt have a namefag culture
Just play however you feel like playing.
>>
>>573725363
I wouldn't care too much if there weren't people like this in here

Observe the humble Skytranny in its natural environment. No one will stoop to its level and play its game, but this only boosts its smug self-assurance further. Truly its mind is like a steel trap. Nothing goes in or out.
>>
>>573725297
>>573725609
So that's a no then. No need to samefag btw
>>
>>573725283
yeah sorry about that. i shat myself when i saw waking the dragon, but then i realized i had the kaiju. i think i still could've dealt with that starving venom thing without it though, the raidraptor tower would've been game over unless i drew the out
>>
>>573725542
Just ignore them lmao
Sure bringing a meta deck to a fucking 4chan tourney is kinda cringe since you'd only do that because you LOVE the deck or because you want to win but at the end of the day it doesnt really matter.
>>
goddamit, got bricked by Lava Golems in 2nd match. but first match was kino

The Skytard compartmentalizes all resistance in a sad attempt to preserve its sense of self. It doesn't work. Nobody likes xhem and nobody is impressed by xheir deck. The world continued to turn.
>>
I refuse to run F&V because it is soulless and not aesthetically pleasing to include Branded cards in my otherwise unrelated deck.
>>
You can start with the Final Round if you didn't already.

>Brandon and sky striker both mentioned in subpar ragebait
>Only the sky striker players feed it
Branded is higher IQ confirmed
>>
>>573726748
>Branded is higher IQ confirmed
always has been. there multiple 20+ hour guides on how to properly play Branded. the same cannot be said for sky striker. branded is unironically the most high iq deck we have in the format right now

Are there any good sky striker guides or is it just gameplay replays?
>>
>>573727256
What do you need a guide for? Just activate engage and loop it?
>>
>>573727595
I'm asking in earnest I don't care about the spergouts ITT
>>
>>573727256
genuinely what would you need an advanced guide on? the hardest part of striker is knowing which interruptions to search and when to use them. not exactly rocket science as long as you know how your opponent's deck works
>>
dedicate the next thread to apil pl0x :3

I see some big brain plays sometimes using the links and the spells in ways I wouldn't have thought and would like to learn how to play that well
>>

Gg's. sorry for the bad draws.

ggs, I got clapped hard but was still fun

>>573728445
If it makes you feel any better the first round I went second and my opponent had no handtraps. Then I went first and he had evenly, ash, and imperm.
>>
>>573728445
the funny part about that duel was that i basically drew fuck all as well. my hand was rollback, mst, 3 silvia trap and diabellze.

Five mats admittedly isnt hard for R4nk decks.
