Who clapped the Sky sissies cheeks in the Tourney?
Branded won edition
apil is live btw just in case anyone missed my message :3
that wasn't even the final game yet? jesus christ
>>573729482i'm surprised at how many pushes centurion branded has, kinda cool
>>573729482that's your high level play brostriker could never
>>573729298rude. despite my name I didnt play SS
>final game comes down to both players drawing the right handtrapspottery
>maxx c draw into harmoniai'm becoming yellow just watching this duel bros
>>573728912>darklord and fur hire still missingLMAO
Please stop continuing to samefag with your insistance that Striker isn't the most skillful and multi-facted deck in the format. It's pathetic.
is tournament done or are we still goingIDK how this works I thought everyone plays everyone once
shouldn't there be another round after this or is that it?
>multi-factedshe's malfunctioning lads
>>573730232>>573730257This is it but I can add another round if you want.
>>573730361fuck no i'm going to bed
>>573730361Well I guess we can leave it here, Norway vs England is starting so I'll have to go shitpost on /sp/
>>573730361I already left. was fun. thx. next time I'll play less of a meme deck
>>573730361thanks for tourney
>>573730361Next time if you advertise as round robin clarify how many rounds I was expecting go go vs 8 peoplenext time
>>573730779he said he was switching it to swiss because round robin would take too fucking long in the last thread
>>573730361Just curious, what was the average power level of the tourney?
>>573730779To be fair just 3 rounds have taken 2+ hours so imagine doing all 7
>>573730992It's still on going so I'm waiting to make the final post.>>573730779Yeah I had to switch it because with BO3 the games take too long.
Just lost to a fucking faggot using some gimmicky burn deck. Fuck this fucking shit game.
>>573731195enneaDEITIES claim another victim
Wait did he draw the Ash from Legatia?
>>573731365Not even that, just some spell/trap-only garbage
>brandedman and centurionman still going at it
I never realized the little knight wasn't even activatable or I would have gone Albaz. Damn it. ggs
The Magical Citadel Cup is now concluded! Congratulations to Rem for winning with Centurion. Here's a list of all the decks that have been played (in no particular order):>Kashtira>Labrynth>Branded>White Forest Branded>Centurion>Azamina>Vanquish Soul>SprightThanks everyone for participating. I might host another tournament in 2 weeks time or if not, in the weekend of the next set release. Next tournament will probably be a simple Round Robin BO1 where you can swap decks after each duel (still it will depend on the number of players).Duel Room Code: 308041Spectator ID : 597074The Room will be open for another 20 hours or so, the replays are open for everyone to watch if you are interested.Scores are here: https://challonge.com/citadelcupmdg
>losing to a plat 1 scrubfor shame
>>573731912yeah harmonia killed S:P. GGs anyways
>>573732031it was fun, thanks for hosting
>here, watch me play this game alone for ten minutesHow can anyone defend combo players? I don't get it
I want my starters back, Konami.
>>573732031thanks for hosting.>>573732058so I suppose you are chinese, for how you drew maxx c all three games.
>>573732031thanks for the tourney lad, it was fun, i'll try to get better for next one
>>573732031Things went way better than expected, thanks for hosting bro. GGs to everyone
>>573732401I just got lucky is all. 1 in 40 is much more likely than 1 in 60 or 50+.Cant rule out MD's shuffler being biased to one ofs though.
>only searchable handtrap off Arc Light is Sauravis>no generic way to Ritual Summon from Extra Deck
>>573732820kek maybe. I didn't know i couldn't reborn the blazar. I forgot centurion. next time
>>573732820>Cant rule out MD's shuffler being biased to one ofs though.I drew the same 2 one-ofs in back to back games, very suspicious.
>>573732031>No RT, elfnote, or KTweird
>>573732967Not directly...
>>573733217i mean i could have played RT or KT but i didn't feel like bringing meta
>>573733229I never understood this card. It's like a 4 card combo to get a ritual out.
The higher on the tier list your deck is, the less skill it takes. If you want to say your deck requires high skill, it better be a piece of shit instead of having broken custom cards that carry you.
>forces you to either pass on practically nothing (lose), end on a mid board (lose), or play one of the two decks that gets to ignore it (because a diverse metagame isn't allowed)this card is just as banworthy as the roach.
>>573733229>limited to R4NKgive us a link monster faggots
>>573733918Best we can do is Dyna Mondo. Thank you for playing Yu-Gi-Oh!
>>573732031oh damn it was high powered i thought people were gonna bring pet decks
>>573732339please just get wraithsoth back to 3 and then unicorn back to 3 kash is beyond powercrept ffs
>>573734227i mean, I won't really say kash, lab, azamina, and spright are high-powered
>>573733229I'm just mad that this boy is practically useless. Voiceless can't use it because they need LIGHTs, mitsu can't use it because they need reptiles. Maybe he's just for the bad ritual decks.
>>573734532well i say they are high powered because they've been tiered before
>>573733889I hate the chummies but don't mind roach.
>>573733783I think people get autistic about what "skill" impliesThere definitely is skill involved in decks like KT, maliss, dragon link or whatever where the combo lines are not trivial and you need serious commitment to reach even a mediocre level, but it's not the same kind of skill as the one required to pilot a shitty deck to its full potential, or to use the more flexible midrange or control decks like branded or striker optimally where you have to deal with resource management and your sequencing needs to be perfect otherwise you're irrecoverably fucked
>>573733889how do you not have a good gameplan under fuwa? and going first should be punished
is Rolad White Forest going to be an actual thing?
>>573734859Isn't the first instance just memorising your combo lines? If you had a literal spreadsheet or flow chart in front of you and didn't really memorise a thing, are you still playing in a less skilled way?
>>573734626it's good to triggers your shit that triggers on tribute without going minusyou can use it to tribute futsu/mitsu you bricked with to turn them into habibi
>>573735149rolad is bricky, thats why its sub engines (walbaz, diabelstar, etc) always try to boost its consistency and ceilingnot sure how white forest boosts its consistency if you can't make dark monsters which locks you out of the crimson king
>>573735014"NOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST SPECIAL SUMMON IN MODERN YUGIOH">going first should be punishedthat's what the other handtraps and boardbreakers are for, you shouldn't get to go +6 because, god forbid, I try to play the game.
>>573734859>different decks demand different skillsWoah.../mdg/ will try and argue against this obvious fact>>573735260Combo lines uninterrupted are just that. But that's an ideal world. You're going to have to play around hidden information and read queues to achieve your lines. Combo decks are way more efficient now than older stuff like Synchro Fusionist so an argument can be made they'rea bit more flow charty, but even that deck was an outlier.
>>573735639>that's what the other handtraps and boardbreakers are forbut all them going first players also uses ash and supol and shit against the going second players
>>573735260I mean memorization of complex arborescent combos requires genuine commitment in itself, but even then you can hardly get away with being a complete retard at higher levels if only because it's inefficient to parse a spreadsheet while playing and if you don't want to explore a complex combo tree and learn its intricacies why the fuck are you even playing a combo deck. Not to mention that the solitaire meme makes light of interruptions and the inevitable interactions you're going to run into, the guesswork you need to make, etcSimilarly combo players would say that midrange or control decks have a few really simple combo lines or even none at all and that therefore they are retard tier but this is also stupid and reductive and makes light of what it requires to be good at piloting control/midrangetl;dr: >>573735670
>>573735639other hand traps and board breakers are shit and don't do anything 99% of the time
I just want to play the video game.
>>573735260>If you had a literal spreadsheet or flow chart in front of you and didn't really memorise a thing, are you still playing in a less skilled wayare you actually asking this? you can't tell the difference between someone who needs a flowchart to execute a basic combo and someone who doesn't need to waste time on remembering their combo and therefore can think about the game state/how to play past interruptions?
sex with Sky Striker Aces
>activate 2 trap cards literally impossible
how's this for ritual support
Combo appeals to people who enjoy complexity and technicalityControl appeals to people who enjoy flexibility and nonlinearityMidrange appeals to people who enjoy having a bit of bothStun and burn appeal to people who enjoy taking cocks in their mouth and eating cum and getting their ass fucked with cocks
>>573737205the only ritual support needed is to make it an option to put them in the extra deck.
>>57373720510000 years of habakiri
>miracle raven triggers heiress in hand>also searchable>the searcher can also search matriarch to recover usurphmmmi guess it also be used to sac shurit into clausolas into cycle sac raven summon clausolas from GY to search habibior search brionac into emilia search cycle sac raven to search habibi and link-2 using brionac+emiliabut nekroz is pretty outdated mang and they don't have much in the way of disruption
>>573737298I play labrynth because I like the puzzle of breaking first turn boards and closing out games :)
>>573732327...........Have you even played the game for the past 8 years?
>>573737298None of this means anything when almost all games end on turn 2. Maybe midrange can get more turns simply due to them having a less impact full turn 1 for better followup later turns.
>>573737695that falls under non-linearity, so still accurate.
>>573737704I have admittedly taken a long break and do not recognise about 60% of the decks you guys talk about here. When you talk about toon, I imagine using terraforming or toon bookmark to search for toon world and then playing toon mermaid.Somehow everyone is still playing branded and sky striker though, although it seems they got new cards i am not aware of
>>573737695oh how interesting too bad your entire gameplan is actually d barrier turbo
>>573737831Honestly games can end halfway on turn 1. You can just look at your fucking hand and go "yeah I can't play through all that GG". At most you might hope you draw The Out on your draw phase but, eh.
>>573737831>almost all games end on turn 2said turns have 2-3x the interactions they used to, rendering your point a little moot (turn-ending handtraps and floodgates notwithstanding)
>>573737958Maybe they'll finally release the scissors and I can drop d-barrier
I play sky striker because being able to break big boards with an empty board is fun and because I'm an autist obsessed with minimalism and adaptability
>>573735413I don't think the Walbaz engine is good for Rolad.It needs protection by negates to keep their trap alive. So a Diabell or DM engine into Dragoon is much better but that also leaves you more vulnerable to Super poly, albaz and anything that fuses with darks.
I'll play any decks with cute girls and synchros except elfnote because they dont really do anything interesting and because Fagius lore is mind numbingly boring and stupid
I play sky striker because I like girls with transforming mech suits.
>>573738340>Diabell or DM engine into Dragoon is much betterfunny you should saythey don't actually play dragoon, they still use dark magician of destruction to grab magicians souls and then they dump the level 8 monster and grab him back after some link climing with firewall
Just spent like half an hour struggling against a branded swordsoul 60 card pile motherfucker that just kept avoiding lethal with bystials, f&v and golden swordsoulWon with 2 seconds left on the timer
genuinely awful pack releasethey literally only hit KT hard enough to make deck space for harmonia, every other deck is shit and missing cards.
>>573738340Also now that I think about maybe a Kashtira engine for Baronne to isolate your combo, since you don't play WIND monsters in that deck.
>>573739075yeah cause the 1 thing rolad needs is to lose to droll and bricking harder
>>573739209>SS Fenrir>NS Ash>Make Baronne>do your usual combo???
>>573738541Very based.
>>573737520unfortunately every new ritual support card puts us further from that unlike Rush duels we're forced to main deck them
>>573739429you're going -2 for 1 negate using a bricky engine, not worth it
>>573738197Quality of interaction still amounts to most games ending on turn 2. This isn't true for something like branded or sky striker who want to play the grind but the game is still make a board that stops or limits my opponents play or going second hand trap rape or break the board. In both of these instances it's not unlikely that the average player just scoops on turn 2 unless you deck build or your archetype can play for the grind
>>573738340The Albaz engine is the one topping tournaments while the Azamina version is jobbing
>>573739817Then a Zoo engine for F0?
I really think they shouldn't have made more characters for sky striker. It should have just remained Raye and Roze, everyone else is superfluous. Like, that shit manga introduced 7 new characters and only 1 of them is a decent card too right?
>>573738340>It needs protection by negates to keep their trap alive.It does notEven if they destroy manage to destroy the trap you still win by playing midrange, out-resourcing them with your infinite recovery, HT's, F&V and Albaz fusion etc.Also the Albaz engine searches Phara and makes your trap unrepondable for two turns
>>573738760In low Plat I see KT running Sage wit Eyes of Blue, add Rotary
>>573740935I have no idea why they even made non-ED monsters aside from Raye and Roze since nobody is ever going to play themI like Camellia and Azalea though. And I wish SPECTRA was a good card, it looks cool
>>573740935Two of the manga cards are good (Azalea and Camelia) because they're actually extra deck monsters with decent effects, and not main deck monsters that are there for flavor purposes. Those characters being on cards are purely for collector value. None of them except Cyanos which also sees actual play from time to time matter outside of that.
>>573736172if theres anything i learned playing against the tier 1s is that you cannot trust their players opinions on anything because they inevitably downplay their deck's strengths while complaining about everything else, especially any answer that can beat them. it doesnt take a genius to figure out which players are complaining about difi / polygons
>>573742337nta but they should've made everything ED at least to not go against the most basic theme of the deck which is no main zone monstersanyway does anyone even use the aces that aren't zero, raye's basic forms, camelia and azalea? the others seem really situational and not that useful
>>573740935Who cares. Such a strange thing to get hung up over nobody is forcing you to put all of the manga cards in your deck.
>>573740395probably better but i doubt zoo is gonna live till rolads release and broadbull search does nothing
Tournament was good, I wish I had the BLZD RDA support but from the TCG release it seems like I'll only get one card from it anyway. No ETA on Archfiendish
>>573733889Very fucking true. Nothing becomes top tier in modern yugioh without being cancer.
>>573744236branded :)
>>573743285Amatsu does see play in most lists because its a "negate" that changes a card effect to destroy itself to let rage summon herself from grave. It also has a battle effect that can help with OTKs>they should've made everything ED at least to not go against the most basic theme of the deck which is no main zone monstersIf we're talking functionality sure. But it wouldn't really fit their roles in the manga since they're all supporting Raye, and the effects are actually full of SOVL if you've read the manga. Especially Ciela who's effect is basically her arc during the story. I don't really see them as actual support for that reason. They're cute collectors pieces
>go against tellarknight>it is essentially ryzeal>level 4 summon level 4 search spell rank up that searches level 4>gets every name into rotatation along with omni negatestalk about souless, this used to be a midrange control deck
>check out /dng/ to ask a simple question>it is quite literally nothing but namefags talking about other namefags, trannies, and diapersJesus fucking Christ. I'm never taking the quality of this general for granted again.
>>573744691theres only 1 midrange deck thats viable now

>>573744691I wouldn't classify set 5 and deneb as a tellarknight deck.
>>573744812everything about the TCG is disgustingI get frustrated with bugmen designing the cards and the lists but at least its not western mental illness
>>573744812You dont know the half of it. It's why I stopped browsing there and came here. We play the game here for a change.But to be fair they have a major problem with a handful of chronically online shitposters there.

I just started playing Master Duel. Which staples should I rush trying to get, and what's the best way to get them?
>>573751961Buy the Ash Blossom bundle in the shop, then craft three Drolls. After that get Called by the Grave and Crossout Designator which are both 1-offs. There's a pack in the shop right now, I forgot the name, but it has Ash Blossom and a card called Fuwalos alongside some other generic staples. This is a decent enough pack to get your started but only AFTER you've already got the bones and skin of an actual deck started out. Consider getting one of the Structure Decks in the shop. All of the most recent ones added are generally pretty solid, the newest one, the Shark pack, especially, is really strong by the standards of structures, albiet difficult for a newbie.
>>573752238droll doesn't fucking do anything to the top decks right now
did you guys know that verte is legal for the event?
>dominus impulse>harmonia>sangen summoning>sangen kaimen>chudraAre you FUCKING stupid???

>>573757298>>573757623I just got wrecked by Harpies feather duster + Hole opening lmao
>>573757623I'm not entirely sure yet. I've been out of the game for a good handful of years, so I'm not really caught up on the meta. I really prefer archetypes that are either diverse toolkits (like Gem-Knights) or just extremely straightforward nonsense (like Wights), with hardly any in-between.
does dracotail have any weakness besides bricking? they can do literally everything and always have ash + maxx c
>>573757298>3 URs from 1 bundledamn i'm jellythat's a free URs right there
>>573757634>No one is Ashing Albion in a non-simplified gamestate.
>>573744812> /diaper nigger general/
>>573757946no lol, the bricking is by design since they need two monsters on hand
>>573757873Branded is a safe bet even if the learning curve is rather steep. Large toolkit and you can splash it into other shit and custom tailor it. Most decks run something from the branded engine so you wont be starved for UR if you decide to switch. Pure branded is industrial strength monster removal, while dracotail is mean to backrow for example.
>>573757873I get ya, I also like versatile decks>I really prefer archetypes that are either diverse toolkits (like Gem-Knights) or just extremely straightforward nonsense (like Wights), with hardly any in-between.Then this is what Id say for you to pursue>mitsurugiweak to droll but have an answer to basically everything currently in the game. Also kinda cheap cause you only really need 7 URs for the core.>Radiant typhoonthis one is also versatile being able to go first and break boards going second. Also 7 URs and better than Mistu but you want 3 shiina twin tempest as a board breaking tech. You'l also want 3 droplets>Sky strikervery versatile but ridiculously expensive clocking in at 10 URs minimum + a lot of URs for techs>Tenpai dragonskinda like wights an OTK deck that can deal more than 30,000 attack in a single turn, core is relatively cheap and you'll also want UR techs for breaking boards>Orcust7 URs and very unique playstyle but vulnerable to mulcharmies. Doesnt care about droll though.
>>573757623>dark hole is good keep that and dust the rest.i swear dark hole is given as a reward from somewhereor maybe structure deck freebies
>>573758745isn't it a legacy pack card?
>>573758832nahfound it anyway, it's included in the branded and spright SD from rookie/returner campaign stuff
>>573757873Wight's been decent since they added in the support and it's very cheap when it comes to dust. Sadly you usually need to toss in Zombie World/Doomking so you at least have some kind of negate ability.If your a yugiboomer Blue Eyes is very straight forward once you have the combo down but it's very expensive and you risk bricking since it's Brick-eyes after all.Explore the solo gates and see if anything catches your fancy.
>>573758661NTA, but this reminds me that I had a very smooth game earlier against Orcust. I was running Monarchs for a change of pace, and they got stuck because I locked in Domain and March on turn one.
ban called by holy shit you know its a fucking problem
>>573758598building Branded from scratch is the last thing a new player should do
>>573759319ocg already banned it, even they knew lol
>>573758661Seconding Mitsu and Radiant Typhoon as choices to look into. They're both relatively cheap, splashable as engines, and mostly run staples that other decks can use with the exception of Shiina. Neither of them have secret packs at the moment though meaning you can't use your gems to pull for them.
What a game changer it is to check the time in Beijing before logging in to the game, I started avoiding peak chink traffic and I don't think I've gone on lose streaks worse than 5 or so in a row whereas I could lose 10+ in a row ranking all the way back down after hours of grinding when playing during chink hours, climbing has never been easier
>>573757873Enneacraft unironically
this dude blind secondedwhats his gameplan?theres this weird card bot herder
I don't want my monsters to become "prince of fairies" and be permanently negated. I don't care if it's cute or whatever the fuck it's beyond broken and absolutely fucking stupid.
AAAAAAAAAHHH WHEN IS THE SHADDOLL SUPPORT COMING AAAAAAHHHHH
if you use the grave effect on a non-continuous backrow and the opponent flips it, it doesn't get shuffled, right? but what about the 2 cards in grave? I assume they just stay there? "both of those and this" isn't wording I've seen before
>>573760680Forget the mid-ass Shaddoll support, I want ROLAD right the fuck now. The meta needs a shake up from its current retardation.
the Fairy Tail field spell should have never released
>>573760736yeah both the cards in grave stay there
>>573760521maybe he can kaiju with santa then nuke the field and use santa in gy to start a fiendsmith line. he also has rat to zeus to send the field in the event he bricks
>>573760680next month, trust me bro
>>573733347Basically only mitsurugi can afford to use it, but it seldom does since a "pure" deck runs 3 ritual, 3 demise retrain (who copies ritual's effect) and mirror.
>>573760680Probably next month
>you are going second>you are going second>you are going second>you are going second
>>573760659>>573760816stop making me want to play the deck
>>573760736if the card Ecclesia targets is no longer on field then she doesn't shuffle herself back yes. but if you CL1 Ecclesia target a backrow and your opp chains it, that backrow doesn't go to GY until the chain is finished resolving
very cool a blue eyes nog went first uninterrupted and had ash in hand while i bricked now im getting ftk by pend magician even though i threw max c
fix your fucking servers, Konami, holy shit
>>573761495silversisters...
kewl tune did not need harmonia holy shit the branded mu is so rng now
NEW TERMINAL SUPPORT CARDS FUCKING WHEN?
>>573744812Diaper fags are pretty hilarious though.
i like the idea of harmonia being a cutscene skip button when you go second thoughbeit, problem is it mainly helps synchrochuds who already have super cancer turn 1s
KILL MAXX C HOLY SHIT
>>573762487I like the idea of each summoning mechanic getting its own unique handtraps, further diversifying deck toolkits like the dominus cards, but konami seems to be sitting on its fat ass and doing nothing to follow up on the concept
>>573762679Please never give Links one though
>>573762358like 6 months
yupgo second 8 times in a rownothing to see here
>>573762949Jesus fucking christ. I guess I'll finger my ass and shit my dick until then I guess. What the fuck am I supposed to do while waiting?
What is up with the servers?
>Down in Bronze because I haven't played the new season yet>Getting stepped on by absolutely batshit crazy decksI get that everyone's gotta climb up, but holy shit, give me some softer matches, this is bronze 4
>>573763350I haven't seen KT in gold at all but I did see it in FUCKING ROOKIE on the climb back up after being away from the game for so long. Granted, the player clearly didn't understand how to play their deck and surrendered after fucking up the combo.
>>573762923they deserve nothing after all the cancerous bridges they have access to
>>573763021did you do the chinese name trick?
>>573757946Red Reboot is the hardest counter to them going secondGoing first you flip D-Barrrier, call Fusion, D.D. Ground or Di-Fi.If you have a ton of setup they can't really deal with Etude of the Branded.
>>573758964Every rookie/returner SD has 3 dark hole, 3 cosmicThose cards were included originally with Swordsoul due to synergy with Chenging, but Konami didn't want to give out too many good cards so they just c+p those cards to branded and spright which have no synergy with them
>>573763350Plat 5 is where the actual shit decks live.
>>573760736If any of the cards (ecclesia, the lvl 8 fusion, the card on the field) cannot be shuffled then nothing happens and the effect fizzlesBut in the scenario you mention the cards would indeed get shuffled anyways because the backrow remains on the field until the chain resolves fully (so it will technically still be available to shuffle upon ecclesia's resolution)To avoid the resolution you'd have to send the backrow for cost or somehow remove it with something higher up in the chain
>>573760264what should be the times to avoid?
>>573732051hey you asshole the only reason I dont climb out of plat is because I'm stuck working all week and can only really play during weekends
OH WHATGOING SECOND FOR THE 11TH TIME IN A ROWGUESS WHATCHINKY WINKY DREW CALLED BY AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH AND HES ON A WIN MORE GOING FIRST BUILD OF ELDNOTE FIENDSMITH CEASAR IS SO FUCKING FAIR
>>573763350welcome to the world of "fair and honest petdecks" which in reality translates to "janky decks that are wildly inconsistent or fold easier to handtraps but if left to combo unchecked they just hit you with every omninegate and floodgate possible" because there's no such a thing as fairness or honesty in modern yugioh
>>573746120FUCKING KONAMI JUST FREE MAXXC ALREADY!
region lock china
>>573760816this is why terraforming is banned, but i would rather konami keep printing unique field spell than freeing terra but get boring field spells
>>573764430>she plays card games for fairness and honestythere was none of that back then either
>>573764330Play during chink business hours (9am-5pm) while they're off assembling smartphones in the factory, you can also play during casual hours (9pm-midnight) since you'll get matched with plenty of shitters that are likely school kids and the likeAvoid the 2am-7am timeframe like the plague, that's the neet nolifer cheating chink domain and it's the time of day when the worst sacks and tilts happen. When the wagies wake up for work the neets go to sleep and that's when you can play safely again.
>>573762923Yeah links are powerful enough by virtue of being links
>>573760680Thank god we'll have ROLAD and blitzcrank by that time. Decks that rely on the extra are now gamble decks.
>>573765165what is rolad?
>>573765165activate Imperm
>>573765749Ritual Of Light And DarknessOverpowered kantoslop with Yugi's monsters that focus on ritual Black luster soldier and other cards that have a lot of disruption, spit out advantage and recursion.
>>573766203so another duel monsters deck is gonna be meta again?if so, i'll finally have something to replace my Blue eyes deck with
>>573766540yeah much to my chagrin. Hate nostalgia tranime slop.
>>573760680Never :3c
>>fairy tail deck is bad>metamorph it basically 3 more copies of instant fusion for them
>high rolled by 60 card tear branded on d1 rank upi honestly think i could have won if it wasn't for the timer
>make a meme deck that's literally just trap cards to get the trap daily done>It includes skill drain and mind drain>Elf Notes player keeps trying to combo despite Skill Drain being on the field>They finally draw the out on turn 4 but did not get the memo until then and kept trying to activate effectsAre they stupid?
>>573765903>I'll play a bad/dead card in the meta just to stop that 1 single card in the matchup
>>573766540yes actually. just be aware that it's bricky much like Blue Eyes and needs to be supplemented with another engine, so you would be building something like Azamina Rolad or Branded Rolad. also it will be blown out of the water by Toons not long after which is also duel monsters nostalgiabait and infinitely better
>>573766728You're such a huge faggot, holy shit.
>>573754549You called him stupid, as if he played wrong, but you changed it to be about the odds of drawing those cards.Seems you're the stupid one.
>>573767360>toons is gonna become one of the strongest decks everwtf how?
I'm absolutely playing this knowing it makes zoomer niggers seethe and shit their diapers.
>>573767773Imagine KT with an actually good endboard
>>573764364scrub
Nostalgia anime gods own this board. Not pedos. Not waifu faggots. Anime. Gods. With men.
>>573768132BASED!
>>573767169probably a bota lot of botting on MD these days due to how retarded and flowchart these new decks areliterallly lucina into elfnote power patron into baronne = autoscoop for a lot of decks
>>573768132
>>573768429i love how the actual curtain is a tiny part on the background
>>573768429She's an honorary oldfag character and gets a pass.
I'm probably dropping MD when chaos ritual and toons arriveI've played them a few times on other simulators and while KT was borderline tolerable those decks are already past the point of no return in terms of the bullshit they're capable of
>>573768072fuck you buddy
>>573768839LMAO FUCKING BYE FAGGOT!
>>573768839Toons will almost certainly be pre-hit and Mind Mirror Force cooks them good
>>573768839good riddance troon
>madolche is fully legal in the chronicles eventneat
>RANK UP GAME>you are going second>RANK UP GAME>you are going second
>>573768839Rolad is just the next no lock ritual slop. Same as Mitsu and Voiceless Voice before that. Toons are just the newest mass body engine, same as Snake Eyes. Neither of those styles of decks are new.
>Trying to do MD Proficiency stuff>Need to do some Link and Ritual summoning>Only Rituals I have are that Vendread junk from a previous code dealie>Take a useless first turn>Opponent plays a shitton of facedowns>Start just fiddling with the unfamiliar cards to generate the summons I need>Opponent keeps summoning all their backrow as trap monsters; misplays both of their hand traps>Manage to do two ritual summons and one link>Opponent forfeits while I'm still noodling around, doing nothing of valueAre people truly this bad at Yu-Gi-Oh now?
>opponent uses zalen negate on mirrorjade>i have cartesia on field>cartesia revive mirrorjade>even with b2b and RS attacking twice he can't stop the wipe thats comingooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh felt so goodi love mirrorjade so much
>>573769797The only people at your rank are people like you and bots. If you want to duel competent opponents you'll need to climb to Rated.
>>573769951We'll see how long it takes. I have to figure out how to pilot Adamancipator after this to do the Synchro part of the tasks.
I'm in the middle of my opponent doing some Exodia-ass behavior while playing Sky Strikers. Am I screwed, or is this probably gonna brick enough that I can take a turn?
>>573767857>>573768839will we look back on these times after the dust has settled and realize kt was actually fair and honest all along?
>>573770263Nevermind. It was a clean FTK. What absolute horseshit, that could have been easily avoided if I'd pulled Ash in opening hand. Good waste of a few minutes.
>>573770460noits just that KT is not so far above other meta decks and has a complete counter in branded
ROLAD is doomed to be the next Blue-Eyes Primite. Top deck in Master Duel until Fiendsmith got Lacrima the Crimson Tears then it got knocked down into rogue. Only Toon hard counters this deck.This all assumes KT gets hit otherwise ROLAD never comes above Tier 2.
>>573763494I'm still in gold 2 atm waiting for the event and 4 games I played were all vs KT lmfao
>>573769392Wouldn't they know you have mind mirror force due to mind scan? People are saying they can drop it turn 0 or something
>>573771779Obviously. The average gold deck is way better than the average plat deck.
>>573760335>EnneacraftLiterally what even does this do?
>>573769797People shit and piss themselves if they don't recognise what you're doing. I have several decks designed to just do dailies and occasionally it freaks people the fuck out and they forfeit because they assume I'm going to do some jank as exodia combo or something
>>573760521bait interaction with Millennium and zoouse Thrust to search Bot Herder or Illusion Gate???profitfiendsmith as an alternate win condition
>>573771768ROLAD is going to be the most played deck just because it's a Yugi deck that's actually goodKT is probably going to be better still unless it gets more hits
>Activate pot of desires>it mills all of my Kings Sarcophagus cards
>>573772203
Oh fuck is it too late for the tourney?I wanted to mog you all with my ethical magnet deck
>>573772598
anyone enjoying their time with the new predaplant, fairytail, or train cards?
>play in gold>opponent has one of the rated duel titlewhy the fuck are you down here
>>573772203its another flavor of stun
>>573772203they did for difi and but claim that they need it because of drollalso they burn
>>573772203flip
I'm trying to come up with a generic option to search off Herald of the Arc Lightthe options are>sauravis>miracle raven>archfiend emperor>machine angel ritualSauravis has the most synergy, I have 2 ways to search it and I can recycle it, but it is really not a good handtrap, it would be good if I could ritual summon itEmperor is just pop a face-up, but can't be recycled unless it gets ripped from the ED by the opponentMiracle Raven is an extender but it also can't be recycled unless there's a way to get it out of the ED.Machine Angel Ritual has a generic GY effect to protect LIGHT monsters from destruction. If this blanket protected the whole field I think I would use this since I have lot of ways to pitch
>>573772704im still playing brandedi might give centurion a shot with harmonia soonnot gonna build trains or fairy tail cause im broke and i already dusted all my predaplant cards ages ago, not gonna remake them for support that makes them synchro summon
>>573772203Pendulum/Flip archetype that has all kind of interactions and use counters to dealt massive burn damage to win games
>>573772720because the meta sucks and/or don't have the energy to grind master in this shitty state
>>573772704I have literally never seen one and have no idea what they do. I don't even know what they look like.
>>573772704I would be enjoying FT right now IF KONAMI DIDN'T FUCK UP THEIR RELEASE
>>573772220This is facts. I was doing absolutely horrendous and bad Pendulum pile earlier. The Kewl Tunes player that I got matched up with still soundly beat my ass, but they did do things in a weird and roundabout way that slowed them down, like they were trying to gauge whether I was actually about to pop off and whether they had to hold something back for it. Even though I was obviously playing a mismatched pile of bad Performapals and other jank, just to perform Pendulum Summons.
>>573772017>Wouldn't they know you have mind mirror force due to mind scan?Yes, but by the time they get mind scan it's going to be too late. 1 toon + mind scan + field spell is 3 face-ups, if they went for a combo slop endboard they'll get blown out and can't negate MMF with Mind Scan or Toon Terror.Rolad can play around it in the non-slop variants but if they don't, Mind Shuffle still gets permanently negated, which might be worse for the rolad player than having it destroyed or banished since they can recover it otherwise.
>>573772704My experience vs fairy tail was>fuwa>imperm>nibiru
>>573770460If KT didn't see your hand it would be unironically fair, it would try and shit out as many negates as possible and be easier to beat
>>573769542>Toons are just the newest mass body engine, same as Snake EyesThe only effects unique to the Snake-Eyes monsters was the push removal. Toons have way more tools and way more bodies available than Snake-Eyes, along with Sangen-lite for protection
>>573773642People talk like toon has literally no fucking downsides and its the perfect deck. Surely not. Surely Konami isn't so stupid they would create the ultimate meta deck AND give it near permanent hand knowledge?What, will everyone be playing floodgates and stun when toon comes out or something? Nothing sounds fucking close by a long shot.
>>573773560Its the combination of hand knowledge + fucking your draw that's really unfair.
>>573773808im honestly not sure what they do going secondi think one of the cards can tribute an opponents monster for cost to search?
ddd best dddeck
>>573773808>no fucking downsides and its the perfect deck.The FTK variant swept the chink no-banlist cup. Droll and Roach kill the deck but both are limited. Fuwa is the only other mildly threatening handtrp.Toons can also use shifter, they don't like it but it gives them an edge over everything else.
>>573767360It still feels like a sick, twisted joke that Toons of all things is going to become THE meta-defining superthreat of Yu-Gi-Oh.
>>573774007>>573774060...So the only counterplay is to go first and hope they don't get you on the crackback? Even though they have a bunch of beaters that can direct attack?
>>573774075>Toons becoming the best>A twisted jokeIt's perfect.
>>573774203Main Droll, Ghost Ogre, Veidos, and Gordian Slicer
whats the utopia card? is it just the base version but chibi?
>>573768839Screw Toons, I'm going to play Umbral Horror just to be toxic
>>573774565No, it's the overframe retrain
>>573774565It’s the new one à la Heavenly Starving Venom. The boost itself to 5000 attack and Goyo Guardian steal.
>check time>Sunday 2pm in Beijing No wonder I deranked out of nowhere and keep seeing shit like this Gotta take a break until it's Monday morning over there
>>573770460Rosewhip is fairIf Konami won't put once per turn on certain spells, then you have to
>>573774629i kinda want to watch zexal before this comes out so i can like it even more
>>573774782this looks subpar, it's just a 5k beatstick, and we already have lightning for thati'm about to say that maybe it's used for zeus but dude ain't even got no zeus in EDis it used to steal mirrorjade without triggering its effect or something?
Mitsurugi RyzealToon RyzealUmbral Horror RyzealJohn Rank 4 will never die
>go on road of the king>look at wcq lists......>barely any toon>probably more kewl tunes and other random deckshuh? where are they?
>>573775315>Kewl Tune had a strong head start, having 79 counts out of 279 tops in Week #1 to #3.>After the release of Chaos Origins for Week #4 to #8, out of 521 tops, Kewl Tune stood at the top with 114 counts, while Light and Darkness Ritual followed with 71 counts.>After the release of Revolution Booster: Toon / Witchcrafter / Unchained for Week #9 to Week #13, out of 284 tops, Kewl Tune barely held to the lead with 60 counts, while Toon quickly caught up with 57 counts. Light and Darkness Ritual fell to just 25 counts.
>>573775212Zexal's a show that has a pretty rough first half but when it pops off it really fucking pops off, the later half is basically sentai with card gamesand all I'll say is this new Umbral Horror deck fits Vector's personality down to a T
>>573773378I don't see why they couldn't run 3 copies of f&v, and if they see MMF hard draw with number 60, which they can easily go into.
>>573775630F&V can't pop a face-down MMF
>>573768839Okay now can I get Merrli, Perlereino and the millers at 1 back? We’re gonna get a deck that’s literally stronger than full power tears but with all the cancer attached to it.Also ROLAD then Umbral. It’s genuinely just cancer after cancer and people fucking bitched about snake eyes or malice. Oh boy.
>>573775694Oop. Forgot

>>573775250You know what's funny?Apart from the XYZ Rebellion Dragon and the new Utopia, none of these cards sees wide spread play because they're so ass.At least Synchro got Synchro Emergency and Starjunk Synchron which sees wide dpread play in KT, Elf notes and Synchron.But the XYZ decks got nothing.
>>573776807what does the xyz on the left do?
>>573777348Win more temu Kali Yuga QE
>>573777513Its way weaker than Kali Yuga since it can be negated.
>>573777513oh thats a really bad card even if you cheat it out
Reminder that Medius lore cards mind rapes players
>>573778429Why is everything with Konami a fucking monkey’s paw.Use all archetypes but it’s this bullshit effect.
washua just lost to branded elfnote,
So what does it take to get banned in this game? I know you can report plays for slow play but does that actually matter?
>>573777513>lawbringer send gung-ho to SS, gung-ho SS sargas, lawbringer+sargas into exblowrer into gigantic sargas, search regulus, regulus target gung-ho SS itself>overlay photon howling over gigantic sargas, SS kuriphoton>fiendsmith combo into caesaron opponent's turn>caesar x2 summon negate>regulus omninegate, which then SS sargas because gung-ho goes to GY>sargas detach 1 from photon howling to pop 1>photon howling negate all>optionally requiem into bitch lacrima in grave into paradise
>>573778429>return ed monster from gy to extra deck then special summon itI hope they don't go forward with effects like that.Sending from extra deck to gy used to be only a specific thing for some archetypes.But now many archetypes have monsters with beneficial gy effects, to the point sometimes you don't even want to summon them but actually just use the gy effect.And now you tell me in the future there will be cards that revive extra deck monsters from the graveyard?
>>573779285why are elves so slutty in anime
>>573779285The good thing about branded support is never seeing Troonsmith ever again with elfnote.Requiem should still be banned.
>>573779560elves are a proud a noble race
I miss the suicide meta of the first XYZ event. Everything else after that was too damn grindy
>>573779587>nobleelves only want one thing and it's disgustinglitera didn't enroll at the acropolis because she wanted her brain educated
>>573779806god that funny and my god i played release springans at that time too and im playing them again tomorrow
>>573779285He lost to ash blossom negating his charmies twice
>>573779414Glad to see that that card will see play in Springans, but that card doesn't do much in it's own archetype.
>>573780139>kotton says ash sucks>94% playratewhat's his angle
>>573779806This?https://www.masterduelmeta.com/articles/events/february-2022/xyz-festival-self-destruct-decks
>Playing Wights>No other packages or outside support; Vendread Links in the Extra are literally only there to help get monsters off the field and into the graveyard in case of an emergency>Opponent has the Wightbaking mate, think they're gonna at least get what I'm about to do>Turns out they're also playing Skull Servants, with a Shiranui mix>Proceed to finagle my cards around so much that the King has 8k ATK on the last turn>Absolutely dumpster themIt feels good to win the mirror match, but it's weirdly more satisfying to not have needed to rely on another archetype to try to make the deck more effective.
Did droll fall off that much because decks can ignore it?
>>573780630probably im still playing it in branded though cause its a spell caster and MIGHT stop mitsu, kt and enneacraft
>>573780630Its only good vs skytrannies. KT can ignore it with an average hand.
>>573779806Agreed. Fuck playing this game. Konami really missed out by not making it a pack opening sim like Pokemon.
How many gems should I save up to spend on packs if I'm going to try to fill out a new archetype?
>>573780229Ash sucks as a handtrap but it excels at being copies 2, 3, and 4 of called by going first against the roach and charmies
>>573781001like 6000, 4000 if the deck is cheap or you're lucky
>>573781001I normally do a months worth, which is a bit under 10k.
>>573781001it depends how many URs you'll need, with any luck 5k is enough
Is there an actual reason that packs expire, causing cards to fall out of being accessible? If so, is that reason even pretending to be good?
>>573781397It lets non-latefags laugh at you.
>>573780534Why not use the vampire sucker link since it also draws you a card?
>>573781397Fomo. They want you to buy now. Or make you spend dust later. Sometimes they just get lazy making a pack like VV and drag their feet for a year, somwtimes its like three months.
>>573781001Modern decks have like 12 UR's that's 360 UR dust. You get 10 - 30 UR per 10 pull which are 1000 Gems, so around 6000 - 10000 Gems.Maliss was 13 UR's, Ryzeal was 11 UR's, KT is 11 UR'sNot to speak of the UR's you need that are out of archetype extenders like gold sarc, Onomat / Mitsu Engine, Ignister Engine.Meta decks are the cheapest when they release.
I just think meta decks shouldn't have such a big fucking shelf life.Does it make sense for the same shit stay tiered for 5+ months?
>>573782232Yes? Half a year isn't that long of a time zoom zoom.
>>573780173it's a free overlay on top of any R8 into free fiendsmith combo because kuriphoton is a LIGHT fiendand with the helps of gigantic sargas, it also means any 2 level 4 can be transformed into regulus+caesarthe negate is merely an added bonus, though it's pretty unwieldy to use because it also affect yourself
>573782304Look at the kind of shit /mdg/ saysHalf a year of Dracotail is fine, yes
>>573782232Blame the card designers or the people in charge of the banlist.Ketu should have gone to 1, same as Melulu. But no, lets fuck the players and don't hurt a generic fusion deck. At least Ryzeal and KT lock you into harsh ED restrictions.We will see the same with Toons btw, no locks, if they don't harshly restrict the starters, that deck will live on for years. Or will be powercrept, giving how absurd the powercreep has gone in the last 1 and half years.
>>573782860Ironically I think Branded Fusion getting banned alongside secretarion would do bigger damage to DT compared to any more in engine hit. Maybe a semi on Arthalion but that’s it.BF is a brick in branded now anyway, it feels like complete ass to open it when the synchro lines are just straight up better.
>>573783427>UR hitBan Flame
>>573783427>BF is a brick in branded now anywayi win most of my games off of branded fusion because everyone tries to stop the synchro line when im going second like idiots, you're building the other half of your deck wrong if you're calling branded fusion a brickit plays so good into removal
>>573783856That’s good and all. Not my experience. I still play BF but the boards are weaker than doing the synchro lines.Plus I think my list is pretty standard.Also alt art Quem when? Literally the best card in the deck still.
If Branded Fusion was a brick people wouldn't Ash it.
>>573781967I didn't happen to have them when I was constructing the deck. I know that this is a common choice though, and they're even in the loaner for the Wight gate.I kinda want to look into Vamps a little deeper, and other Zombie archetypes, and see if I maybe want to collect more cards along those lines. You know, see what's viable, consider tinkering with a bit of this in that, etc.
>josh vs hermanWtf
>>573784151branded in red isn't standardhow do you use it?
>>573782472Yeah but the problem is even:>2x summon negate>1x omni negate>1x pop>1x negate everything on field Isn't that crazy of an endboard.There is a reason why the FS engine did fall out of favor, because while versatile and grindy, it doesn't provide that much outside the 1 once per turn non-target send to GY and a Caesar.
It's over...
>>573785037maybe its time to stop playing bricky decks
>>573785037>when I lose it’s never my fault >when I win I just outskilled themHe’s a faggot. Also based Azamina still going strong.
>>573785215Azamina - cocksleeve of BLS and DMOC
>>573780904Naw man, its more like... I want to play the decks I like. I only put up with events because it helps fund future decks I want. If events had less restrictions I wouldn't mind so much, but they do so it fucking sucks. Events were especially terrible when i was a traptrix faggot>XYZ only means i can't use Sera, a link monster, and she is the core of the deck>Link only means I can't use every other traptrix ED monster>Obviously unusable for fusion and synchro onlyIn the end trying to play traptrix in events was impossible, and it just isn't good enough to bother sweating with in ranked, so I stopped playing it. But the same principle applies, my autism means I just want to use the same deck/characters/load outs/etc over and over and over and over and over again. I don't WANT to try new things, I want to do the thing I like.I have never played a loaner deck. They're not MY deck.
>>573785215>negate engine>basedthis dude probably complains about branded btw
>>573785501Azamina isn’t just negating thoughbeit. Not my fault TCG Troons only do Silvia.>complains about brandedI posted my list earlier.
>>573785415I knew you were a huge faggot, but I didn't realize you were that anti-loaner retard who would rather farm 100s of losses for 50 points each than play a loaner like 10 times. Just ignore me then, you're beyond autistic and completely impossible to communicate with like a normal human.
>>573785415>Traptrix is impossible Tell that to Labrynth banned in literally every single event that’s not ranked 2.0. Trap decks not named Eldlich suffer sadly, because someone at Konami uses it as their pet deck.

>>573789234>>dmod and dragoon bannedbecause FUCK you and FUCK dragoon
>>573789234Doesn't really make sense to only ban the cont spell whilst leaving the rest untouched. Oh well.
>>573785727Don't loaners only give you half points? it takes about 20-25 wins to get all the gem point rewards usually, so it would take 40-50 on a loaner. By the time you sit through 50 games on a loaner deck that's getting raped by everyone who brought their own deck, you might as well just play suicide and farm losses at lightspeed instead. Seriously, think about it>Average game takes 10-15 minutes, let's be generous and say 10 minutes>10 minutes x 50 games = 1 hour of active play>Suicide deck kills itself in about 30 seconds>So 2 suicide games = 1 minute therefore 10 minutes is 20 suicide games>End up getting the same amount of points in half an hourAnd honestly that's assuming you WIN every match with a loaner, which you aren't. Of course, the most efficient method just gives you all the rewards immediately but that one's...
>>573789234...So I gotta spend 1500 gems to buy a structure deck for an event? Dawg I'm just gonna skip, the gem return there SUCKS
>>573790206you can use loaner dumdum>>573790105>Don't loaners only give you half points?no?

>>573792160Ah yes the brand new ninja deck that just released in the OCG...

>>573792318I've been keeping my eye on clowns and they look really fun. How's the consistency? Can't stand bricky decks.
>>573792289The mate bases almost never have anything to do with the current pack. They added a fucking Vehicroid mate base this month. Stop being a mouthbreathing tard.
seeing all these illegal plays in paper makes me so glad that md exists, holy shit
>>573792653Depends on the version you play them with. In-archetype they have have only 2 real starters (Flair and Rehersal) but you can easily put in more searchers like Preparation of Rites and Malabarysm itself is kinda of a starter card depending on what you have in hand. There's also the broken pendulum Clown Crew which is not out yet in TCG that works as another starter. If you play the Nouvelles + Culinary Confrontation engine you have another starter. I've tested it in a variety of builds and they don't really brick. Also you can play them with a variety of decks like Mitsurugi, Rolad or even pure. There's lot of choices and they draw a lot of cards so it's fun to play.

Sometimes I wish Soul Release was a quick spell
>>573809285It STILL wouldn't be good enough.
>>573809374Would be good enough for what I need it forForcing gy effects and banishing things is great
>>573776807The Galaxy eyes overframes are great, even if the overall deck is still badI think the deck could pop off if they got another support wave>>573777513This card is amazing, what are you talking about?It e-tele's your best monster, you can summon it off any other R8 as if it was a link-1, you can use it to bridge to Galaxy using any other XYZ and it's a endboard piece
>>573809546Screwing with peoples' graveyard access is great sometimes. It doesn't always work out though. I got into a match last night where someone dropped Zombie World onto the field, only for them to contend with the fact that I was running Zombie deck myself.
>>573808256Which kind of doesn't make any fucking sense at glance for most cards, unlike the other zodiac archetype.For example, lets ignore all card names for now.If you pick up the Zoodiac cards, as long as you're slightly aware of what the chinese zodiac is, and what animals it has: you can easily make the assumption then figure out at glance looking at zodiac sign.But for fucking standard western zodiac, which should have been infinitely easier to make recognizable: they fucked up.What the hell are those monsters?Take a look Phryxul, you wouldn't fucking know its Taurus at glance because of the unnecessary elements, such as the tail.The only 2 fucking Dracotail card that makes sense is Ketu.They fucking made whatever monsters they wanted, just put reasonably identifiable zodiac symbols on 3 monsters (Xul, Lukias, Faimena), the big circle on Ketu, then said:>All right this is a very thematic archetype based on the western zodiacThis is a fucking travesty.Also take a fucking look at this. Ok, the idea behind makes sense. But then if you fucking look at the art of the monsters themselves: then no it doesn't.
>>573808256>>573810454Fucking shit multiple media works made thing appropriately based on the western zodiac that works at glance.Then we have Konami fumbling with their card game.Makes me rage when they are lazy with archetype thematics like that, and just make cards with weird art design.
You take a look at the other archetype, which isn't even entirely based on the western zodiac, then you think:>Ok, this is zodiac relatedDracotail is really fucking shit
>>573772704My experience with predaplants so far has been>eat superpoly>they search another superpoly>eat superpoly #2>search super duper poly and summon the shitter that superpolies when you activate anything>eat superpoly #3Good thing my deck is all light monsters and their boards are still decently breakable but an annoying deck for sure
>>573811106Look at the art, so good... so simple.Stars in the background with the constellation and symbols plus the monsters themselves respecting the theme.
>>573772704didnt see any trainpredaplant seemed alright but nothing special, i guess searching super poly is good but idkfairy tail won because it resolved maxx c
>>573791723>this is who /mdg/ gets raped by daily
With the new support what is the best all around archtype and which is more future-proofed medius or albaz.
>>573813301Currently Branded is better, yes.But Medius lore stuff is more future proof.Specifically elf note stuff.
>>573813301Dracotail
did someone test which ai is best for deckbuilding?
It's up
when can we expect the new pack to be released? Like is it always a set day of the first week of the month?
>>573810454>arthalion is cancereven the devs know lmao
>>573810454>>573811106If I'm understanding you correctly, you wanted the archetype to look more recognizably zodiac? Because I still think they did a pretty great job in terms of art since phyruxul, faimena, and Lukais all have equipment that represent their respective signs while the archetype builds on their theme of them being a tribe that calls dragons to combine with, the attacks of those dragons being represented in the trap cards, and the techniques the summoners use on the spells. That and their name comes from "Dragons Tail" in astronomy. I don't know which archetypes you like visually but yugioh has always done similar stuff where they incorporate the deck theme with a concept (like the Qli and Infernoid lore being based off of the Sephirot). I think Constellars look cool too but I don't find the whole package as interesting as deck flavour goes since the main deck monsters are the stars and the XYZ monsters represent star clusters. The goals in design are pretty different here imo
>>573813765what does shrouded albion even do in these lists
>>573780630>KT is a gamble>Branded doesn't care>Dracotail doesn't care>RT Zoo REALLY doesn't careNobody plays Enemacrap anymore so you're running it to beat Sky Striker, maybe Mitsu, and random sacky FTKs. When Power Patron slop releases everyone will have to consider running it again and accept the fact that it will be useless half the time. Fun!

>does nothing
I think this actually might be one of the worst formats of all time. Maybe second only to that Halqadon format. The amount of player agency is so fucking small, the win rates for all the best decks going second is so abysmal while going first is so high. Maxx C is limited but somehow seems more common than it was at 2. Chinks are still cheating. Banlists are fucking nothingburgers. Why am I even still playing this shit?
>>573815304I would absolutely take that deal.
>>573816794You need to wait for the real format. We're in clown format right now.
>>573817016no, the clown format is going to come after the real format
when will HERO get some support
>>573817185Doesn't help that you're a pedo or a tranny (usually the same thing but there's distinctions with yugioh players and what decks they think are "good" for the game).
>>573817206They have a hero for every situation possibleThey don't need more support
>>573817016How is ROLAD going to help when it's objectively weaker than all the other top decks right now? Plus, the strongest version of ROLAD is already pre-hit because Wanted is at 1. We need a fucking nuclear banlist that isn't fucking dogshit. What crack are they smoking to put out a banlist that only unbans Instant Fusion right now? We're how many weeks past the WCQ and they haven't addressed anything in a meaningful way?
>>573817206Destiny Hero is going to be semi-meta
>>573816753Branded has a better Fuwalos line now with specialist Ecclesia being the only draw from deck.

>>573816794>Maxx C is limited but somehow seems more common than it was at 2.What decks have 0 plan into roach? Sometimes your opponent opened 4 nonengine and 1 starter, and their next 2 draws were more handtraps.
>>573817691>>573818492How is it not the best fucking version? Have you actually seen what Azamina does for that deck?
>>573780229>let me ftk more 8 year olds
I see elfnote branded lists everywhere in MDM, but none of them explain how you bridge from one half of the deck to the other, is there actual synergy or is it just a good stuff pile? I've been playing elfnote with a tiny fiendsmith package, but the branded one is not that expensive (just 2 white albaz and 1 lululilith, since i pulled 1 swordsoul synchro and 3 F&V) and is apparently much stronger.
>>573818581Yes, you get a higher ceiling in exchange for being raped by everything your usual combo deck does like Fuwa which the normal version ignoresHigher floor>>>>>higher ceilingIf you want to play combo there's better stuff like Elfnote and PP
>RDA next packCANNOT FUCKING WAIT AHHHHHHHThey better not fuck with us and release everything
>>573819084How do you know?
>>573818756You bridge into Branded by making the Ecclesia level 8 SynchroThere's no way to bridge from Branded to Elfnote, but you don't need it since the package is small and they work as good extenders if you draw them anyway
>>573815304Actually unique deckbuilding in this meta? Won't happen
>>573819084>>RDA next packwho's gonna tell him?
>>573818881>Yes, you get a higher ceiling in exchange for being raped by everything your usual combo deck doesAre you fucking stupid? The Azamina engine soaks up all the interruption for your main engine. It's like Shining Sarc in Orcust, you get so much value out of Spellcaster into DMOD, for only a single card and they have to have multiple to stop it. And if you get Fuwa'd, you just fucking stop your Azamina plays, or get your guaranteed bridge for a single Fuwa draw and go into ROLAD, it's really fucking simple and way more than just higher ceiling. And the higher ceiling also protects your Mind Shuffle, you are smoking crack.
>>573819084I genuinely don't understand how people can be so hyped about this deck, we've got tournament results and it only does well in that one shitty TCG fanfic format, that and one of its cards is more useful in a completely different deck.
>>573819441I just find Red Dragon Archfiend cool. Almost as cool as Red-Eyes.
>>573819619But red-eyes isn't cool...
>>573819712How dare you... You're asking to get Bottomless Trap Hole'd, friend!
there is no better feeling than activating droll when opponent activates 2nd fuwa and still go full combo
>>573819392The Branded stuff also soaks up interruption, and it does in a even better way because Walbaz gets you a free F&V as cost even if it gets negatedAnd the Branded version also protects Mind Shuffle by searching Phara with Three Brave Swordsouls and bridges into ROLAD with the Crimson King
>>573819619>I just find Red Dragon Archfiend cool>Synchro Monster designed to go second and obliterate boards>Deck is fragile go-first negate slop
>>573820309I don't understand your point.
dragons are cool
>>573820810Dragons associated with the color red are even cooler.
Why cant they print a control deck that isnt a floodgate or need a floodgate?
the most kino duels I've had are RDA vs Blue-Eyesthe dark dragon synchro deck vs the light dragon synchro deckdemons from hell vs the faux arthurian blue-eyed spellcasterslike dream mirror mirror in ranked
>>573820071>The Branded stuff also soaks up interruption,And it does it worse than Azamina because it's one card that is stopped by one card. Everything else you said is irrelevant.
>>573813818we usually get new packs after one of the secret packs up on the store expire. So currently we have 23 days until the next pack.
>>573815976Man I 'member playing kashKINO when they got their support. Shame we never got to toy with diablosis banishing 1/4th of the opp's deck

>>573818881>>573820071>durrr yugituber said thing so wrongWow very compelling argument
>>573823001Show tourney results thenNo one used Azamina in the OCG too btw
If you think about it all events are ritual events and that's why they never re-ran the ritual festival for almost 2 years
>>573823698wtf do you mean?Konami always bans archetypes without extra deck in events
>>573821903We will never get that guy back.I tested the new DM overframe(which summons itself by revealing a spell in hand) and Asutra cards. And you can make 2 Shangri-Iras before making Ariseheart.I honestly wish Konami doesn't lean more into the Zone locking stuff with the new Kashtira support but instead the banish floodgate aspect.
somebody REALLY likes altergeist
>>573823867I'm just coping as someone who likes to play and build all ritual decks
>>573824058dzeef?
>>573824215tbf the fact they can't be used in events (even dice rally for some reason) pisses me off too
>>573823873same, I like Kash being a deck that actively skullfucks the opponent for daring to try and oppose you. They should double down on that aspect of the deck but I do understand why the zone locking mechanic exists since it ties into their hinduism theme of absolute control over the field.Based artist btw
>>573823698I wish they would re-run it. I first started playing when the ritual fest was going on, I had a ton of fun. Ranked was too intimidating, but I grinded the hell out of that event.
>>573823653>Show tourney results thenIt literally just came out like a week ago, fag. But it got a Top 16 and Top 64 in the EU WCQ.>No one used Azamina in the OCG too btwBecause OCG players have been shit at the game and behind the curve for a while now.
>>573823653You're also a double faggot because all the ROLAD decks in the Oceanic WCQ were the Branded version, and none of them placed higher than Top 64.
>illegal play in the finalsPFFFFT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Are photon lord and hope harbinger really the only good numbers you can summon off of dragonar?
>3+ ILLEGAL PLAYS SO FARPAPERBROS PLEASE LOCK IN!
>>573824439>daring to try and oppose youbrother, full power kash skullfucked the opponent for just existing
>>573826365It's been sometime since I used Dragonar but yeah, these 2 are the only one that come to mind. I remember also using Number 100 for OTKing or Bagooska but that's banned in MD iirc.
>>573826365they're some of the best, you have to consider that most of the time you're summoning an Xyz with zero material, and there's not many Xyz's that actually do anything if they can't detach, so that leaves the amount that's worth summoning very small
>>573827415>>573827498Yeah that's the issue with dragonar, however you do get to attach a material to the xyz you choose to summon through utopiforce, but unless i'm blind (i've been reading ALL the numbers) there's only 1 number monster with a good effect that only needs to detach a single material to trigger it. Hope harbinger only gets a pass because it doesn't have to detach to negate a spell.

>>573832435Your deck seems to have a bit of an identity crisis>too many branded fusions in ED without too many ways to get into branded linesI don't see any clear ways to bridge between the witchcrafter and branded engines, you're limited to hard drawing both a witch starter AND a fallen of the white. Do consider using 3x branded in high spirits and 2 granguignol as a bridge (dump granguignol + spellcaster for a fallen of the white + spell discard for witchcrafter + it recycles itself for grind game)>Too many competing normal summonsCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I think the witchcrafters all need to be normal summoned as they don't summon themselves. What do you do if you open Schmietta, genni, incredible and cartesia? That's literally 1 play because you can only summon one.I would consider cutting a cartesia for sure, then probably 1 incredible as well (2 is definitely comfier but your version feels too bricky)>Extra deck2 albions are nnecessary if not running branded fusion and I doubt you're summoning him with any sort of consistency. If you add high spirits you'll need 2x granguignol so switch that, and what's the point of lubellion if you're not running branded fusion?Not sure how often you use the links but do consider running branded fusion. Sounds like a good deal since you can send a witchcrafter monster and get the GY effects off.>spell ratiosI get the feeling it's too little spells for all the discards you need to do, again high spirits would help, but I guess adding some power spells like thrust or droplet or dark ruler should help a bit

>>573838238First off, to join any tournament Dkayed hosts you need:>Twitch subThis is the best option because depending on your country it gets cheaper. And there are multiple methods to get twitch subs for even cheaper, like asking for your mother's amazon prime account and using the free twitch sub.There's Meta Weekly. Anyone who has an active twitch sub can join it, no questions asked. $50 USD prize money.Then there's MCS. $1000 USD prize money.MCS is an invitational tournament, which means you can't just randomly sign in and play, unlike Meta Weekly (there's an exception, more on it later).How to join MCS? Top players in Meta Weekly tournaments get invites to MCS.The exception? TCG YCS top players can simply join the tournament, nothing else required except for the twitch sub.

>>573838958>>573840060not reading allat
I am actually shocked by the number of people who, seeing you put Wightprincess in hand, will attack into your monsters with no answers to it or backup plans. I think they just don't read, and don't know that Wights have access to "beating your ass in a fight" technology.
>>573805315I saw this card yesterday. It was Sky Strikers in an Exodia deck.They got me, turn one. Managed to draw down to 4 cards left in deck and I got obliterated.

>>573836558It's funny because Sky Striker and Orcust only got their cards limited but none banned.
>Gem-Knights got new support when I wasn't playing>I had basically already acquired a playset of the whole archetypeFuck. Is it worth it to pull for the cards I don't have, or should I just save up and craft?
Thanks for the loaner, Herald Solo Mode
>>573841451im not sure if the new cards are in a pack yet you might have to raw dog
>>573841572you probably don't need 2 gren manju, just 1 would be okayyou can also play chaos valkyria for potential extension and r4nk plays
>>573841583>>573841451The new ones were in a pack that is ALREADY expired. It hasn't even been a year.
>>573838958>>too many branded fusions in ED without too many ways to get into branded lines3~4 albaz fusions is pretty standard for a walbaz+f&v package, though I guess there's not much point to the second albion
>>573840015So trains are a go second deck but cam ftk if they go first? Isn't that really good?
>>573840015oh wow its pure trains, not earth machines
>>573841261I hate how they keep changing the lists for theme chronicle and legend anthology
>no fata dragna>no overframe alt art for four heavenly starving venom, clear wing and super poly>no dominus sparkpetdeckbros.... why does konami hate us so much... imagine if rda support drops with no quetzacotl or burning soul
>>573813301The most future proof meta deck is sky striker
>>573842193I guess I should say that it's not the correct ratio nor pool of albaz fusionsWith the deck you're running you need at least 1x albion, 1x mirrorjade, 1x titaniklad, 1x dogmaIf you focus the deck more on the branded side (ie getting albaz consistently in GY) then 1x rindbrumm as well
>>573845315it will drop with both of them, but no overframesevidently they're treating overframes like alt arts and only releasing them for shit that's been out for a long while
since cydra and utopia are gettind structure deck updates we will truly know if md team hates petdecks or not
>>573846786knowing konami I can see them not putting quetzacotl just to spite
>>573846872I hope they keep doing this, because there's definitely a few others I think deserve this same treatmentupdating the Pend Magician deck with stuff like Astrograph and Beyond/Exceed the Pendulum would do a lot of legwork in getting people to actually try Pend decks
>>573845315> imagine if rda support drops with no quetzacotl or burning soulBystial Spright will still be playable provided Crimson Blade Dragon is released.
>>573838958thanks anon, will try those changes when i get home
>>573846872>>573847113I would like it if they updated the things we already purchased instead of making us buy it all over again

>>573856223If you left then why are you still here bitching?
>>573856440I've lost 4 of my last 5 games to 60 card branded piles just happening to have droplet/super poly.
>>573852438NTA, but I tend to at least watch for a little while. Partly because I need to learn the decks, but if I recognize a board state I have no way of being able to break, I'm leaving. It hasn't happened a ton of times, but usually it's some of the current Branded-built shit.
>>573856223i started with tcg yugi kaiba starters, stopped after 2004 chaos and started playing md this year, i think this game is fun but im probably crazy
>>573856223I leave and come back from time to time, and have for ages now. I really want to like this game, and sometimes I do.The cost is a problem, but also it's dense. The learning curve to picking up Yu-Gi-Oh, physically or digitally, is really high. Even now, there are some decks that just do too many things for me to fully understand them, and I'm not good at guessing which lines of play are the right ones to stifle for each deck. I'm better at letting my opponent tool around a bit and gauging which parts of the board are going to be problems, and trying to stop them when they're deep in their plays and the steam they have to keep expanding from where they are is getting thin.I came back to Master Duel recently, and the Solo Mode guide to playing Sprights for everyone that got the structure deck is actually super good. Honestly, if there were Solo Mode guides to every archetype, where they really explain lines and plays to you that the deck has access to, it'd change a lot of peoples' ability to approach playing the game. It wouldn't be a comprehensive solution to ongoing issues, but it would be pretty fucking nice.
>>573857154No, I did basically the same thing except I started back when MD launched. I do occasionally take a couple months off, but I still enjoy the modern game way more than the boomer version.
>>573858190Shame about the skytranny ruining an otherwise based top 8.
>>573858190On the one hand, as a musician, I love to see music-themed archetypes doing well.On the other hand, this is some fucking cancer.
>>573857836i used sprights to learn the current game too >>573857154 it helps that sprights used to be competitive a few years ago, think they should just spoonfeed old meta decks that that kinda work as starter decks for new players so they can win some games without quitting, most of the structure decks are pretty ass. a lot of the guesswork for how the game works in depth is always going to be in meta discussions outside the game and experiencing it for yourself, its just the nature of card games imo
>>573858190i'd rather fight kewl troon that sky dykers
>>573858190cute and funny format
sky striker hatred is 100% deserved

>>573825737what happened?
how many hours until xyz fusion festival?
>>5738603352:30
I love watching the cutscene where my opponent plays out an archetype I've never seen, then kills me on their first turn.I don't actually mind that they get to show off an have fun, but it actually does feel bad to lose that fast to something you've never seen before. I didn't even get a chance to interact with it, so I learned very little.
>>573861635was it pendulum magician ftk?
>>573861635some moonrune killed me with an ftk burn deck in diamond using cards ive literally never seen before aside from k9, the main piece was a baseball characteri probably should have saved that game to learn what happened, but im not even mad; just perplexed
>>573858190I was told from some 5,000 I.Q. genius's that patrol this board that Radiant Typhoon is supposedly better than both of these decks.
>Get matched against Fairy Tail>They play out their first turn>Start my first turn, considering options>They have priority though, so I have to wait to start playing anything>They concede after about a half minuteAnyone wanna take a stab at why? I haven't played Fairy Tail at all, so I don't know what it does, or why they would decide that their opening wasn't good enough to continue playing out against a still unknown opponent.
>>573862049ultimate baseball kidthere's another k9 ftk with blaze fenix
>>573862686yeah i just looked up the combo, and this is definitely what killed me: two telefons rezing each other, baseball kid burning, and maple maiden turning everything into fire attributethe only list on his website is from two years ago, neat to find non meta decks doing weird shit like this instead of running into the same turn 1 omniboard setups
>23 (twenty three) fucking days until we get some new cards>gem stockpile already at 6k and I still have diamond and master to go through>not even counting the eventsfuck me they should anticipate the next pack this one was a dud besides harmonia

>>573863430broad bull and mx saber invoker really shouldn't be legal
>>573863430this is exactly why i just surrender at turn 1 ratpier normal summon, you cant stop them unless you have turn 0 pop or open with a superboard breaker hand. some jap posted how he had a 90% win rate going first with rt zoo in top 10 rated last month

Can someone explain Dragonmaid to me? I've encountered it a couple of times today, but I don't really get it, or what it's doing in other decks these days.
>>573864110>>573863430>>573864817wtf how is this allowed?
>>573865904Its just a bad waifu deck. Once you get out of plat you'll stop seeing it.
>>573866040according to /mdg/ it's actually fair, skillful and balanced
>>573864590best maid
>spright sprind is legal in the xyz/fusion event
>>573866040they can switch between zoo and rt lines and end on the opposite of what they started if they get stoppedfor example stopping turn 1 normal summon rat zoo line is almost impossible since you need multiple hand traps: one to stop the 2nd rat deck special summon off the xyz, another as a negate to stop the pivot to reattach the 1st rat to tigermortar. after this, if they still wanted the zoo line they can still use the rt line by summoning eldam&swen to xyz mx saber then special summon rat from the deck, so you would need a third hand trap to stop them again, and this doesnt even cover the rest of their ability to just pivot to rtits one of the only instances where nibiru can actually be useful if they didnt crap out a negate by the 5th summon
