Funny how destiny hero is already way better than the regular hero slop pile
>>578605367elfnote is good because baronne, omega and all the generic synchroslop that should've been banned long ago, toon is good because the admin trap and is easily fixed by banning it
this bish makes me laff and i recommend trying out fairy tail just for her. I wouldn't call her GOOD, per say, but i get a little tingle in my tummy every time someone interrupts me out of a savage and i get to go 'oh is that so? anyway here's my royal summon sort and here's your new dimension shift- oh whoops he's back in my hand! oh whoops snow just banished 14!'
Heh, nothing personal kid

I double rebooted MAN once
>>578608126
Feels like the longest event ever.The Fusion Cup feels like months ago and I only did Legend Anthology the 1st day and haven't played it since, the additional missions haven't posted and it's almost end of month.
is there a deck that makes Branded faggots suffer so much that they scoop on sight or makes them miserable during the match regardless of outcome? this isn't about winning anymore, it's about making sure these assholes don't have any fun
>>578609214Branded unironically.
>>578608943There's probably not going to be extra missions - there's a carefully allocated amount of gems (3.1k) associated with each monthly event, and while they leave some on the sidelines to encourage even play across its length when there's just one event for the whole thing, they didn't need to do the same here since the split events accomplished the same thing.The Anthology 'event' IS the bonus missions. It's the same logic behind there not really being any importance to 'xxxxxx downloads!' or 'IRL event!' or 'XYZ anniversary'! seven-day login bonuses; that style of distribution is earmarked to happen x number of times, staggered at y intervals regardless, it's just an as-scheduled currency distribution so the reason doesn't matter.
>>578609214Not 'scoop on sight' but Fairy Tail has a pretty dope matchup against them so long as you don't get super polied, it never gets old watching them panic summon dogma as if you're not just going to ignore him entirely
>>578609214Kashtira with difi or macro
>>578609214Anything running DiFi can generate ragequits.Using Bystial Spright I can get Branded to quit fairly consistently. They don't understand how the deck works and will engage with it, only realizing that they're being outgrinded by like turn 5 or so.
Hell yeah baby ! Already have silvy, alt art diabellstar and silvera in royal. Now Rciela is done. Next is Elzette, and since she's an SR, I need three royal copy... I hate seeing one royal diabellstar and two normal copy but can't fix it, same for Silvy, its fucking UR.
>white forest makes baronne before ss lucinawhatever man
>>578608925Second Reboot go!
MAHO KADO HATSUDOSHISHA SOSEI
>opp gets bored of me breaking their board and surrendersI would've lost in the next turn but thankfully he folded
>>578612017Congratulations, you're at 2k LP and I can still solemn you.
>>578603968go back
>>578609214I've never had them not scoop on dimensional fissure. It's almost ceremonial, theatre. Of course, you yourself are not quite sure what they're playing when you go first, not entirely. Maybe you suss things out from their accessories, their icon. Ultimately however, there's no telling what their deck could be. What you do know is you've just drawn d fissure and at this stage it's important to take 10 seconds to really bask in the potential of this moment. Otherwise the significance of what's about to happen may be lost on them. You activate d fissure. You give them time to read the card or for the game to let you know they've left. You wait...and then sometimes they dont scoop and you realize they're probably playing kashtira and then you kys yourself myself
>>578614981Forgot image
I still play Tenpai, nearly 2 years after its release, because I love it.Can (You) say the same about your """favorite""" decks?
He has KT synchro and called by in the backrow. Still lost.
>>578617568I still play Branded though it released 6 years ago
>>578609214Exosister. It already has d shifter, and has an on demand abyss dweller. I once went second against an exosister player who played carefully so as to have shifter as the only card in the grave going first. So when I attempted to play under the shifter, they used Martha's effect making me quickly realize that they'll have it back and an empty grave to fire it off on their next turn again. I was indeed mad kek
>>578617568is this bait
>>578617730where's the double handrip and handpeek
>60 card chinky>plays around nibirudo people think we cant notice
>>578618076Baiting you into admitting that you don't like any of the decks you play, metanigger, yes.
>Bystial Lubellion (bipedal) evolves into Lubellion Searing (quadrupedal)Pokemon type shit
>>578617568I still play dreaming nemleria in any event I can get away with, despite the deck being a bit weak. Thankfully it always seems to be legal in events, even events it really shouldn't be like the current one. Though the power level of this event does make it hard. Getting Nemleria to resolve is extremely satisfying if you pull it off.
>>578619153actually, he becomes lubellion first after stealing albaz power, then lenatus after fusing with mirrorjade, and then becomes bystial lubellion after absorbing bystials power

>>578620271A lot of complaints about going second would be gone if you could somehow skip going first's long cutscene. Sure you'd probably still lose most of the time, but you could play immediately and just as quickly start another duel right after you scoop
>>578620875i think link 1s should be banned (that includes colossus)
>>578621292every card from that deck should be banned

>>578622470that's not.. nvm
haven't played elfnote in a while. is this build still the standard or is there a better one?
>>578622561No. Everyone swapped Fiendsmith for Branded. If next month's pack has Power Patrons the deck will change again.
>>578622360no
>pends have to go an attosecond into the gy before they end up in the ED.....because otherwise they would abuse cards like d.fissure!!

>kewl tune rendered unplayable while branded gets to do whatever the fuck it wants
>>578628447But you guys told me the KT hits didn't do anything and the deck would still be tier 0.
>>578628519and those guys were rightKT hits did nothingit's still tier 0game is still dogshit
ok so kashtira and fiendsmith have shit up the game for long enough and can get some bans now right
Ban every single Elfnote card.

>>578645751Come on now
>>578644839Bro tf do you mean?When ive read the card correctly, you only need a rank up magic and a utopia XYZ.I dont play black cards, so im not sure, but i will bet my ass that there is a utopia monster that searches that shit, or atleast a starter that turns into utopia that does.

Does anyone have info on how yugiohs R&D process works? Like there's the common stuff like they'd have to commission artists, but I'm looking for info about design and play testing. Konami is famously cagey about this sort of stuff, but every once in a while I see a tidbit like Takahashi was involved in the creation of synchro summoning because he wanted to give low level monsters some use, the source being the 5Ds mangaka who had dinner with him once depicting it in a 4 koma at the end of a volume. I wanted to know if there's other information about that, even if its anime staff/writers being involved with the process somehow. I know there's some people with brains designing cards because there's trends in card design (the latest being more powerful going second tools) but whether its profitable or someone who really likes fuck off stupid effects that create non games (which is yugiohs actual problem), I just want a crumb of information to help me make sense of some of this games decisions
>>578644839how difficult it was* to summon
the meta is GRIM
>>578648759that lil nigga is easy to bait out and predictable
>>578628447does kewl (sorry, killer) tunes tried to be part of some ($$$) anime lore? I don't think so
>>578604379>>578606857>look up lists for both>Toon is looping Psi-Blocker to turn off 4 cards in your hand before your turn (since they can see your hand)>Elfnotes is handlooping you for three and setting up three omni-negates>Kewl Tune is still Kewl Tune right underneathunironically looks pretty grim

>>578650821psy-blocker will just get banned. Nobody plays it and it's a super degenerate card (which isn't to say basically the entire elfnote deck isn't fag shit)
>>578650821>Toon is looping Psi-Blocker to turn off 4 cards in your hand before your turn (since they can see your hand)what fresh hell is this
>build a meme handtrap.dek just for going second shenanigans>win the coin toss 5 times in a row
>>578653823https://roadoftheking.com/ocg-2026-07-metagame-report-6-7/the process to it is detailed here if you're morbidly curious>>578653746god I fucking hope so
>>578653746so it's a non issue llike dweller for ryzeal, and pair a dice for k9
The end board consists of 7 disruptions: Psi-Blocker declares 1 card name, cards with that name, and their effects, cannot be used until the end of opponent’s next turn. (activated 3 times) Firewall Dragon returns 2 Monsters from field or graveyard to hand. Comic Cat tributes 1 opponent monster. Toon Terror negates 1 Spell/Trap Card or Monster Effect. Mind Scan declares 1 card revealed in opponent’s hand, negate the activated effects of cards with that original name until the end of this turn.With Psi-Blocker declaring 3 card names and Mind Scan declaring 1 card name, the opponent effectively has 4 cards in hand blocked off. The remaining 2 cards that the opponent has could be easily dealt with by Firewall Dragon, Comic Cat and Toon Terror.
>>578654034>selects go first like an idiot all 5 times>loses
>>578654460i look like this
>>578654648 (also >>578655121)skill issue
>>578617568I still play Live Twin.
From a story-telling standpoint, the function of the god cards is to show that aspects of the characters have no limits.Kaiba's pride and attachment to blue eyes are without limit, and make him even sacrifice a god card.The strength of Yugi and Joey's friendship are without limit, and it protects Joey from death from a god's attack."If god is the ultimate, then I still defy that."
who asked?
>>578634384Noroi is hotter
>>578654460
>>578654460yea i already know im not playing when this shit is out. the metagame we have no is decent but toons,Ars Magna and the 10+ generic extra deck cards they printed this year just make the game unplayable and more so than any format like maliss format. and just a random example this card adds back hand traps.
Jesus christ, the spellcaster fairy tail slop is unplayable against branded dracotailthey just turbo secretarion and gg you concede
>>578656914I did
>>578658376doesnt seem that good
>>578658725your one answer is Normal Summon Luna and bouncing it, because Secreterion only negates Special Summoned monstersthat's why I play a lot of board breakers in mind like Crown and Super Poly to hopefully get rid of those things before they can do much
>>578658935I often run out of spoly targets, the extra deck is very tight (just like the cats)
>>578659207this is actually why I started playing the new Shining Flare Wingman, because it comes up way more than you would expect it to, either to remove a fusion plus something else, or to Super Poly my own fusion away after I use the effect on their turn
>>578653587How does enneacraft fare against tcg rolad branded?
>>578620001>embarrassing metanigger tries to "no u"
>>578660760post you're decks
>>578659207>just like the catsGonna need to see some proof there
Marik and Bakura take turns using Tea's body, but only Crump is considered a creep when he tries to do the same.
>>578658376Dawn of war 4 will be out by then so I'll have another game to play while they sort out the massive drop in players at that time and which cards to ban.
>>578660067No idea. Haven't seen that matchup anywhere online. Enneacraft already fucks branded.
Is adventure prank kids still meta?
>>578662623yes
Would ban elfnote power patron balance Elfnote?
>>578664213its the extradeck tools that make the deck over the top and not just elfnotes but magnets atm in master duel aswell. they gotta hit Omega and barrone.
>>578604379So should I save up to build Elfnote, Toon, ROLAD or KT?
>>578662934decklist?
>WHOOOAAA, "TOONS" ARE THE NEXT BIG META DOMINATING STAPLE?>THAT'S CRAZY, TOONS?! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! THAT'S SO NEAT! I HEAR THEY'RE REALLY POWERFUL THOUGH, EVERYBODY'S SCARED OF TOONS...>BUT HEY IT'S STILL COOL THAT AN ARCHETYPE LIKE TOONS MADE SUCH A SWING TO POWERF-...the end board is 90% slop, Toon might as well not even exist, they should just let us plop these generic boss monsters on to the board at the start of every match and then "interact" with hand trapsactually yeah just make all of yugioh like this>"well I'm gonna use baronne, slopinator the unburdened, faggotnigger the negater, zanzibart the semi-limited and mirrorjade">*places them on the field without spending 10 minutes summoning them*>"ALRIGHT... DRAW!">both draw 5 cards, decide if the board can be outed, then shake hands and move onthere you go I just fixed "modern yugioh"
>>578617568It's not like meta decks become irrelevant all the time>Sky Striker>Branded>Maliss>Tear>KT (yes it's gonna stay good just like Maliss)>evergreen boomer shit like BEWD, ROLAD etcPlenty of formerly t1 meta decks just end up oscillating between rogue and t2-3 forever. A deck becoming complete shit after having been really good is quite rare.
it begs belief that suicide decks can win against some decksI am trying to suicide and get hit with droll, ash so I end on a half board that stops my opponent's starter and they scoopjust why
>>578664580Neither of those. Build Power Patron bruder
>>578664890>the end board is 90% slopTell me you've not played for the last 4 months without telling me
>>578664987Why?
>>578665074played what, TCG? I haven't played in the last 24 yearsis this your evidence of non-slop boards? >>578657630 this is slop
>>578665145BECAUSE PEND BEST DECK LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
>>578662167How? I've played against them several times with a rogue deck and it feels like they don't actually do anything.
Which decks are viable but end on a board that isn't slop?
Can you negate the "get all 5 pieces of Exodia" win condition? For example, I know you need to wait for a chain to resolve before Exodia can fully activate. Is it possible to snipe it further down the chain somehow?Alternatively, what if the exodia player activates dominus purge from the hand and therefore can't activate the effects of dark monsters? Or Mind Drain, that stops you from activating effects of monsters in the hand?
>>578664398AND crimson dragon
>>578666518branded
>>578666912I don't think either of those things apply to exodia because the game is retarded and it's not an activation it's a condition or some fucking lawyer bullshit like that, I'm sure
>>578662023by the time these decks hit master duel I'll be on total war 40k anyway
>>578664398but gacha unplayers told me that baronne was just a tcg tantrum and nothing serious
>>578664909you forgot ryzeal mitsu still being a thing 10 months after
>>578666912>Alternatively, what if the exodia player activates dominus purge from the hand and therefore can't activate the effects of dark monsters?Not an activate effect, it's an condition.Same as summoning Kashtiras onto an empty field or Kaijus against towers.
banlist status bwos?
>>578667006Anything else? The branded aesthetic sucks
>>578666912it's a condition, having the 5 pieces on hand instantly wins you the game, no matter if there's a 16 card chain waiting to resolve
>>578667347It's not an exhaustive list, my point is that high tier decks very rarely become shit tier and it's likely that if your favorite deck has been t1/t2 at some point then it'll remain playable forever
>>578667491>The branded aesthetic sucksWeak bait
>>578667756>muh generic dragons and brown kidAre you serious?Anyway, recommend something else
>"wow, maliss looks cool!">slop board>"wow, yummy looks cute!">slop board>"wow, killer tune looks rad!">slop board
>>578667923Isn't pure yummy playable? And I thought part of KT's appeal was that it's self-contained and not slop
>>578667868>rehahshes same weak bait
>rank up game>you are going secondevery time
>>578668067I'm sorry I hurt your feelings by shitting on your favorite deck or whatever but just refer to >>578667491 instead of sperging out
I know Toon is the next big thing and all but is there anything else worth rolling for? I'm over 7k gems and I feel like I should spend a little to keep myself under 10k at some point. Like, I don't have dominus spark so is it worth pulling to get copies of that? I don't think Toon will be out until end of this year or early next year, right?
>>578668025"Pure" Yummy still uses cards that don't fit its theme.But for KT, you're right, it's pure. But I guess what I hate about it is how bullshit it plays, with rips from everywhere, some omni negates, hand knowledge, and floodgates (for synchro/xyz).
>>578668434Its endboard isn't particularly hard to break though, to make up for its bullshit information access
>>578668193>insists upon himself with the weak bait
>>578667480Pot of Duality 1 -> 3Floowandereeze and the Magnificent Map 1 -> 2
>>578668602lmao brandedfags are mentally illAnyway, could anyone who isn't autistic recommend a non-slop deck that's actually good but isn't based around ugly dragons and an interracial couple?
>>578667129
bwos... i think the ancient gear loaner is shit
>>578670479>going first
>>578667491>>578668796Lunalight isn't slop but idk to what extent it could be considered meta viableAlso obviously KT and I would argue Sky Striker as well (not using the full RT engine)
>>578668796ancient gear
>>578665510that isn't the toon endboard retard
My schizo theory about why power creep is so insane is the Konami devs responsible are still with the company and get butthurt about their cards getting hit and won't allow their decks to die like how Konami used to manage them.Look at Genesys, the entire format came out of Jerome McHale's ass and he's a macro fag, so all the macro cards were unhit in Genesys despite them being obnoxious floodgates.There are still dead decks from 2023 but nothing has been killed since 2024+. That is the cutoff point for Yugi3
Where's the fucking leaks!?
>>578672359that's funny because droplet got reprinted for $5 while master duel is putting more packs with 15+ URs
>>578668256Everyone is doomposting toon but no one even talks about in the tcg/ocg anymore it was just a one time thing. It will be good for one patch/release cycle in master duel only. It's just going to swing right back to elfnote and kewltune once the new toy syndrome wears off.
>>578673008What makes elfnote so good?
>>578673008Downplaying brown player
>>578673195They're better going 2nd than toons and less vulnerable to the new boardbreakers.
>>578673583But as a whole what's the strength of the archetype? Is it just comboing into unbreakable slop boards?
>>578672740packs with 15+ URs are still $0
>>578673648Hand rip 3 plus some negates.
>>578673712until you run out of gemmies
>opponent maxx c's me so I'm forced into a half board>uses clip's hand effect when I'm going first and uses up his cue to go into crackle even though the ED banishes won't do anything to me and I'm already about to fuse with debtors >puts another debtors on top of the deck with cue when I have wanted in grave and it's actually a useful card for me to have>normal summons ash for no reasonare KT players normally this braindead
How retarded is it to keep special summoning when hit with maxx c? Is giving the opponent card advantage ever worth a strong endboard?
>>578674213They are in plat.
>>578674112>This negro considers EVER buying gems
>>578674112have you ever heard of a little trick called saving
>>578674435It really depends on the meta, your deck, your hand, and what else they've played. But in general you're more likely to win doing your full combo and giving them 20 cards than you are passing on fuck all.
>>578674435In my experience Maxx C is way more dangerous for the potential interrupt or board wipe they can get in the same turn they activated it to prevent you from going full-tilt into your final endboard. Trying to play under Maxx C and only getting halfway to reaching your endboard is 100x worse.Overall it's entirely a situational and deck based thing.
>>578674548>>578674636>yes I'm a good goy and I'll play 20 hours of "free event", the game is very free to play finally!the gacha mind
>>578674917>I hate playing this game>I will give them money so I can play it less?
>>578674917>this completely artificially scarce thing is now ONLY $5!!>implying anyone else is a goy
I think tcg schizo must be back but was actually prescribed meds or something
holy shit legend anthology is bad. i'd legitimately rather play ranked
>>578675116I would never, ever spend money on gems because the exchange rate is fucking insane. It's egregious. But I think the idea is that the currency you spent on "free" gems (your time) is in theory far more valuable than what you'd spend in actual real currency, unless you're making like 10 dollars an hour.
>>578675116>this completely artificially scarce thing
>got to my rank up game in Diamond 1>went on a losing streak>back to 4 gamesbeen a rough day, but I'll climb back upif I derank I'm not trying anymorealso fuck Elfnotes I already dislike this deck, and I know it's gonna be so much worse later
>>578674636lets say i don't use one single gem for an entire year, how many gems should i be expected to end up with at the end?
>>578675474so paper is even worse value because you have to spend time travelling and playing
>>578675783I don't know why diamond has to be this miserable bro
>>578675513$0
Speaking of value what are the highest value decks in terms of required UR + overall long-term viability, i.e. both as cheap as possible while being as evergreen as possible?
>>578675892>because you have to spend time travelling and playingyou could apply that logic to almost anything in life, but the typical mdger is neither playing nor travelling lmao
>>578676083Sky Striker is easily number 1. You could have built it when MD launched for like 6 UR and then added a few more URs every couple years.
>>578676328In conclusion, cards for $0 is better than cards for $5
>>578676083shining sarc engine
>>578676392And aside from Striker? It's a cool deck but not my style.
>>578676460Branded.
imagine if japan weren't attracted to little girls, Sky Striker would have been kept in check instead of ruining the game with custom cards
>>578676539so why does branded get sucked off infinitely then? someone at konami loves bbc?
>>578676520>the two "good forever" constants, endlessly favored by konamiI wish they'd add more honestly, having to choose between those two if you want something that will stand the test of time isn't great
>>578676617brown twink, repressed latent homosexuality and power fantasyalso fusing into dragons, very important...
>>578676083the half-answer and most practical one is staples, well duh
>>578676083D/D/D is cheap and still holds up.
>>578674435Basically >>578674794Here's a game from back when Tenpai was new and full power. Because I opened Gatchiri, I was confident to play into Maxx C since the only way to out it are Kaiju my opponent likely wasn't playing. Turns out he was a fucking retard and it didn't matter what I did.https://files.catbox.moe/t4r0ui.mp4
>>578676539>>578676617>>578676725the forever golden archetype, Branded, is about a brown twink saving a blonde blue eyed white girl with sainthood from her evil xenophobic Christian-stand-in nation by running away with her to the desertalso they fall in love and "fuse" to win (metaphor for sex, a brown guy breeding a white girl is the ultimate power in the universe)yeah I'm uninstalling this satanic nigger garbage
>>578676392I truly lament being too much of an adhd faggot for sky striker. It's the most elegant deck in the game and I've seen some masterfully clever plays with it but every time I play it it's>fuck my board is weak as shit compared to what the combofag in front of me is churning out and I feel at a constant disadvantage>fuck there are so many viable options and I can't figure out which one is the right one>fuck I made a suboptimal decision and now I am completely fuckeddoes it get better with practice or am I just too dumb for it
>>578677381This is exactly why I will never play Branded. The whole Albaz and Dogmatika lore feels like some subversive talmudic cunt designed the archetype.
what the hell are they doing here
>>578678281well drooling retards can't play tenpai here
>>578673583...so toon was so strong they made specific anti toon boardbreakers?
>>578673195If you don't already have it don't worry about it. It won't get a secret pack until its no longer relevant
>>578675846There's a cap on how many free gems you can hold at one time you nigger
>>578675892Yeah but with paper I could theoretically win an air fryer or a switch or something. Fuck is MD ever going to give me?
>>578677381Don't forget the church is evil all along guys. Wow what a twist this totally isn't one of the most generic fucking tropes in both JRPGs AND western slop
>>5786800236 potential boardbreakers vs Toon is better than 3 vs Elfnote.
when are they banning d.fissure and macro cosmos ? this is a best of one game and its bs those are at (3)
>>578677652You are too nigger for whitegirl.dek
>>578680845>whitegirl.dekWhat does that have to do with Sky Strikers?
>>578680845No seriously though how do I git gudWhat I struggle with is the decision density, I can never tell if I've made the right call. And I often feel underpowered
>>578680346>>578674636>little trick called saving>cap on how many free gems you can hold at one timecool trick
>>578673648>But as a whole what's the strength of the archetype?Like Snake-Eyes it has a lot of redundancy and pushes for grabbing its cards from the deck, but unlike Snake-Eyes that did nothing but vomit bodies, the Elfnote engine itself is extremely oppressive going first>Lucina bounce a monster>Fortuna bounce an S/T>Tinia handrip>Rhapsodia omni negateAs an additional fuck you the monsters are all high attack so their stat lines naturally block out most main deck monsters and can require an Extra Deck answer
>>578680781You have plenty of space in the decks you copied to include something to remove them
>>578681496But don't worry its all balanced out by the fact they want to be in the middle monster zone and there's only one of those>but they can-Shut up Konami is EXCELLENT at game balance and have NEVER made a mistake ever.
>>578674917This negro finna gonna boutta be maldin
>>578681727you know that's not how it works, retard
>>578654460ENTER
how do i become a exosister
>>578682081It doesn't work if you don't include them
>>578680762Then why is elfnotes about twice as common as toon on the chart then? Did elfnote get new support or something?
>>578682847Link-3 Medius and overframe Trishula.
How much decks is it possible to build ftp? Grinding solo mode and I have the deck I want already but would like to know what's like, the max.
>>578683028Once you have all the staples you can pretty easily build 1 new deck per month. Some of the particularly expensive ones might take a bit more time.
>>578683176Neato. What do duel passes do? I was told I need one, but don't they just gib shit like mats?
It finally happened. After months one incredibly unlucky faggot actually got hit by the drawback. Turns out RT is balanced after all.
>>578683364Yes. Duel passes are 5 free URs of your choice. You should always buy them. They're the single best value in the shop by far.
>>578683376>ash droll starter visionshe was greedy as fuck and got what he deserved
>>578683376I play mapiss and i would unironically cut his hands irl if i could
IM ALMOST THERE
>>578683028>it has a secret packI dunno like a month and a half to two realistically, maybe three if it needs a bunch of extra bullshit from other packs or something>doesn't have a secret packMaybe a year? The duel pass has 100 UR dust and 1 UR card is 30 dust. So every 75 days (or 2.5 months) you can craft 3 UR cards. Average deck has like, what, 10 to 12 in archetype URs in it? So in almost 8 months you could make that deck. If you need more cards, like if it needs some weird ED monster or some shit, it's gonna take about a year
>>578683376nigga thats malpiss not rt and also hes retarded for playing veiler in 2026
>>578682847Gallant Thief completely breaks the game and Elfnote can maindeck 3 (Toon needs to NS dark rabbit)
>>578683532>5 URsAin't it only 3? 100 UR CP, 30 a pop, use 90 with 10 left over?
>>578676083
>>578684356god this era was so fucking grim for branded
>>578684540You mean fun
>>578680346Only technically. You still have that box boi
>>578683992Its 100 + 30 from the normal pass. Which is technically 4.
>>578685205They expire after a month
>>578685464and you wisely use them to open the blessed packs and save dust. All of the gems that can expire don't expire at the same time.
>>578683829You get on average 3240 UR dust per year assuming you don't open a single UR you actually want.
>>578685782There's retards that literally don't understand "delayed gratification" or "restraint" and can't figure out they're the issue and not the game's overly generous reward system.
>>578685782What the fuck, that's over 100 UR cards a year and yet despite almost never crafting any cards because I'm worried about wasting the dust I still don't have all the staples like the different mulcharmies and dominus cards. Is this like, the highest possible amount you can get assuing youbget lucky in shit like raffles or whatever?
>KT+branded in silver this late in the monthkill la kill yourself in front of your whole family nigger
>>578686359No. Its assuming you hit M1 each season and complete each event, then open on average 2 URs per 10 pack + the battle pass.
Super Poly needs to be banned, picrel is ruining the game
>>578686690>M1Ah fucking lmao no wonder then I never got past diamond IV
This game is still around? There are so many better ways to play yugioh.
>>578687685So you either don't play the game or are intentionally staying in a low rank. In either case you don't need those 30~40 extra URs per year everyone else is getting.
>>578687795You don't need to stop halfway through because the other guy wants to argue rules with you though
>>578687386>WAHHHH WAHHH, I WENT FIRST AND DESERVE TO WIN NO MATTER WHAT!
>>578688012No dawg I'm just shit. I can't win enough games to get above diamond IV and that's it. I think I hit diamond III at the start of the game but since then its just been IV.Its not like you can just grind your way to Master I, its not like you gain EXP to rank up
>spent all day going from rank up at Diamond 1 to choking/bricking on that game and going down, only to go up again and repeat itprobably should take a break now, I've still got a week to get there
>>578688163>Its not like you can just grind your way to Master IThat's exactly how you get there retard. You just play a shitload of games while maintaining a 51% winrate.
Is there a YGO format where I can normal summon Dark Magician in defense mode, set 2 cards and end my turn.
>>578688016Yeah, you just get no say in anything and have to go through stupid mobile game hoop jumps.
>nine dailies stacked>have to play this shit game
>>578688705>I should be allowed to cheat if my opponent doesn't know every rules interaction or isn't willing to call me out on my bullshitAverage tcg player
>>578688328My win rate is like, 31 or 35% from memory though. Onjectively everyone can't have an over 51% win rate, someone needs to be losing most of the time to facilitate others winning most of the time. That's just statistics, man
>>578688817what the fuck did I miss? they actually did a Diabellstar episode??????? what????? how???? when????
>>578689508Git gud
>>578689592Master duel literally has a notification pop up that says WE ARE CELEBRATING THEBDIABELSTAR EPISODE, BE SURE TO USE THE FREE REDEEM CODE FOR GOODIES are you fucking stupid?
>>578689592https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPHZnCrEeO0
>>578688682Yep, but it's not in MD
>>578689693most of the retards in this thread barely play the game
>>578673648>The only thing more unbreakable than unbreakable slop boards is just handripping the shit out of the opp, which they do>They threaten Baronne almost instantly so you have to waste your HT early>Nontargeting backrow omni that sends for cost, revives another interrupt, and stops any remaining monster-resistant breaker that didn't get ripped>Don't take NS so you can stuff FS, Yummy, KT, or whatever your second engine is behind them, or tribute summon some free bullshit/another HT neg>Has the perfect levels to branch into dumb shit like Walbaz/Ecclesia engine or dumping+reviving Spell Canceller
>Gotta do dailies before they pile up too much>Got a couple for special summoning types>Go to do Fusion>Fail to fuse anything for two games, because my fusion spells just get negated>Finally get it done and switch to doing Xyz next>Opponent stifles my lines before I can set up any Xyz summons for two games in a rowI'm losing faith in the idea that I can even be allowed to have fun playing this game, you guys. It feels like most of the games I file into, my opponent has either set up a bunch of negates going first, or they just always have enough hand traps to stop me from getting rolling. I can't even fucking do dailies with any consistency now, and I really actually feel bad about it.
I don't like sinful slop, but the diabellstar episode was the best one so far in the chronicles.
>>578689693Last time I logged in that notification wasn't there. Must have been the 19th.>>578689968The only retards in this thread are the ones who regularly play the game and take that as some sort of accomplishment.
I want Diabellstar to rape me
>>578689968That does explain why there are so many posts whining about dust and gems
>>578692074i want diabelze to findom me
>>578690773That's because Diabellstar is the first and last good lore archetype they've ever made.
>>578692237Maybe if it wasn't so rushed. Its genuinely baffling they decided to end a series most people were basically fine with early and replace it with Medius shit not a single human on the fucking planet cares about.
>>578692819because they made a tier zero deck that nobody liked playing against?
>>578692819yeah, they should have milked it to death for 5 to 10 years instead, that would have been awesome
>>578692819i can't get over how fucking gay medius the fairyboy is. not one interesting thing about the whole lore
>>578692925We're not talking about Visas sis.

diabelstar has lore only in the classic sensetitstheres nothing else, nobody actually cares about sinful mcguffins
>>578693319>diabelstar has lore only in the classic senseThe fuck does that even mean?
>>578693152people liked tear mirrors (even if they were abyss dweller turbo)nobody liked snake eyes mirrors
>>578693630>PeopleI wouldn't call them that, but the reason they liked Tear was because it was a true tier 0 meta with basically 0 variance. There were a few different viable SE decks which needed different answers which tourneyfags absolutely hate.
hero needs a buff board wipe omni negate pop and 2 floodgates is not enough
What is the diabel code anyway?
>>578693851>play against literally the same deck every time>people like this>play against several slightly different decks>people hate thisAre TCG fans even human? They unironically enjoy just playing the exact same deck everyone else plays and doing the exact same thing on auto pilot? The chinese might be bugs but tcg tourneyfags are NPCs

Verre rape
>>578706369>>578706919There's nothing there that prevents you from setting it on turn 1>but the 5 cards-Isn't an activation requirement. It just lets you set and activate it on the same turn, which is why its useful on turn 2. It can still trigger if the opponent declares an attack with their biggest guy or if they would destroy a card with a monster effect. I see it as a valid way of stopping the opponent from building a board if they start to get past your defenses.

Be real embarrassing if you had blow her load on a normal summoned frilly-furred stratos...Stop playing into fuwa you elfnote retards, the one draw's never worth it, she's only worth going into as insulation and the only way your deck can reasonably force it is by normal summoning the peacock. Hope I bricked or just go next.
>>578707362>it worth it when you search the one elf slut that sets the trap
>>578697134is a perfect lock achievable? like no activations, no summons, nothing. The most i could come up was diabellze, dark simorgh and this guy, with soul drain and mind drain face up. but soul and mind drain only stop monsters, you could wait until you discard rollback and another trap and go from there.

I don't like Baronne but the problem is Elfnote not BaronneElfnote can literally access all the generic 2 mat Synchro Monsters except Arclight (Dawn Dragster, Crystal Wing, Baronne, Savage, Omega). It can also access lesser but still strong ones like Draco Berserker. You can also turn any of the elfsluts dark with Verte to access DmoD, assuming you aren't already running Diabellslut and OSS for it anyway.The elfnote engine is cancer and the gameplan is toxic bullshit. Non-target bouncing and handrips are the epitome of power creep.
>>578711631>Synchro Monsters except Arclightdoes he know?also all these generic synchro negate monsters have been probablems for years elfsluts are the just the newest and best engine to abuse themthey'll be problems again when they eventually hit elfnotesjust ban the generic synchros already its not rocket science
>finish both events>wow this game is good I like this game>go back to the ranked and encounter shit from the default banlist>remember why I'm not always that positive about the gameMan, just having the power level lowered like 10% makes so much of a difference.
>>578708381It's the weakest of the 3 but it's still a contender.
>>578711631And yet the elves are so unfuckable. Like they're anime dykes
>>578712493Making it so that people are forced to respect charmies and killing maxx, crossout, and called by fixes a lot instantly about going second
>>578712731they need to hurry up and ban called by/crossout/maxx c
>>578712090>been probablems for years Different names have been problems at different times in different deck structures.Never before has there been a meta deck that can pivot to ALL of them. To access all the Synchros you previously needed to run a high engine deck with free agents that glued the deck together. Like Brotar in old Synchron pilesElfnote is presenting the same problem as Maliss where the entire Cyberse and Link pool was available And unlike decks like Synchron or even Maliss the elf bitches can just run over most decks with their main deck monsters, or just sit on the main deck monsters because they're inherently 3-4 disruptions going first.You can still ban Baronne and Omega to future proof future designs but Elfnote needs to be slaughtered
>>578712731>forced to respect charmiesSpeaking of, in the game that pissed me off I was about to build a half board against a Fuwalos then the opponent revealed Holly Sue and Izuna so I was forced into a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation where I could either lose to their turn 0 stuff on the board, or give them a ton of draws that I could lose to instead. That's even worse than going second into Maxx C because at least then you can go for an OTK.Miserable game but I guess sometimes you just get sacked.
>>578712731>respect charmiesSome decks just completely ignore chummies or play on the opponent's turn. Chummies are badly designed cards and are not a substitute for Maxx "C"
>>578712996>Omega to future proof future designs They don't give a fuck, they literally just printed a new L9 handrip that's seeing play in anything that can run it. Even the BE boomers are playing it.

do you guys ever play a second game / watch something while waiting for your opponent to finish? I dont like doing multitask adhd shit like this but it's so fucking boring having to sit there and it's fucking absurd that while they're playing solitaire if you step away from the computer while having a handtrap or something to potentially activate that you can lose the duel because you didn't respond. fuck off
>>578719631I just press the surrender button. I ain't waiting for the luxury of my opponent pressing negate 5 times.
>>578719798but sometimes you outright win, or frustrate your opponent enough that THEY scoop (because everyone thinks like you where surrenders are how all duels finish). isn't that what yugiohs all about?
>>578719631All the fucking time. Even in duels where I don't expect my opponent to combo into unstoppable bullshit, I will usually just watch something else, because waiting for them to resolve all their shit for ages is somehow both boring and nerve-wracking. Unless I need to react to something, I do not give a shit, and will just figure their board out when they finally pass priority again and I need to start playing.If they're comboing out into annihilating me, and I need the progress for something, I'll just minimize the game and go chill for a few minutes while they play it out. I hate that the game is like this, but it's sometimes more useful to me to do this than it is to hit surrender and start looking for a new duel immediately.
>>578719631>>578719798>>578720483>>578720259Hey, not to sound cynical or anything, but things like boredom, frustration, and anxiety probably aren't indicators of good things for the state of a game.Are we okay, /mdg/?
>>578720670nar
>>578720670I'm all good just a little tired haha
>>578720670Not those guys, but I do enjoy the game but I'm honestly more frustrated by the decisions that are made to balance (the banlist). I can accept that I'll get sacked, that's kinda just how card games are. But almost every decision master duel has been making is a non game generator, which BO1 just encourages more of. And that's before the fundamental design problems of yugioh which don't seem like they'll ever be properly addressed. I just wanna play my cards man
>>578720670Game's the best it's ever been, friendo
>>578720670I got shut out so hard today by hand traps and go-first negate boards that it took several duels just to do all of my dailies. I'm honestly considering leaving the game, because dailies are basic tasks that help you progress so you can get more cards and keep up, and if I'm having a very bad time struggling just to do that, then it's hard to imagine a future where I can play this game and ever have fun with new cards and new decks.
>>578720670Like 60% of my games go like this, YGO is more like go fish a lot of the time.
>>578721390and then you think well forget about ranked, events are where it's at, I'll just focus on having fun with those! but then the events fucking suck too because they dont limit half the cards they should
>>578713723>2 full rows of UR trapsand you won't even use them in normal decks lol
>serenity's japanese name actually means serenity
It's amazin how every meta managed to be worse than the previous one
>>578703879Bring back starting hand 6
>>578720670The only thing left at this point is cynicism. The game is so miserable to play that it actively repels even the most diehard ygo fans, and Konami does nothing to change it.
>>578703879after player 1 does his turn, player 2 performs his turn on a separate empty field where player 1 can only respond with what's in their hand as if they were going second themselvesplayer 2's endboard is then added to the original field after he's done before player 1's 2nd turn beginsthis of course, leads to going first focusing on searching as many hand traps and turn 0 interactions as possible instead of building up their own field
>>578720670This game isn't in a good state as long as my starters are on the limited list and I don't care what anybody else say.Free Unicorn and Pressured Planet
It's amazing how every tard bought the newest cards while pissing and shitting themselves over powercreep
>>578721919Yubel was peak modern yugioh and its been downhill ever since. Imagine start of combo insulation that requires you to -2. Imagine powerful starters that all take your normal and die to imperm. Imagine primary archetypal playmakers that can't be searched and have no recursion. Truly the last honest meta threat...

MST is by far the best card in the game.
>>578677652Please respond
>>578725910If your deck isn't braindead or powerful a single misplay or suboptimal decision can result in you losing I noticed this in the TOSS event playing Salads, sometimes I would forget to resolve Sunlight Wolf's effect on my turn and I would lose the game because o f it
>>578726070>or powerful SS is supposed to be good though.
>>578724893I literally haven't spent money on this game since Biden was in office, running the same two decks as back then
>>578726293nuh uh the cap is 10k flatshow me your obtained gems page or you're lying
>>578677652>>578725910Practice + mindset shift. Go from play to win to play to not lose. You pretty much have anything accessible in engine plus recursion that's also removal. So unless it's branded you are up against, you're going to win the resource war. Basically prioritize survival and usually you'll reach a point where you can otk. Speaking of, don't get too greedy with those lines because if you don't kill or sequencing is off, you need a way to keep the loop up. The best piece of advice I've gotten playing this deck was the question "how can I achieve x goal with as few cards as possible?" This was before the support but it's still great advice. I'm not very good with the deck, but these tips have helped me play the deck rather comfortably in around diamond, still a lot to learn
>>578726397>play to not loselmao not this OCG shit mindsetplay to win like TCG chads
>>578726397How do you deal with branded if you lose the grind game against them?>you'll reach a point where you can otkA lot of times I don't have the necessary interruptions and the opp comboes into a disgusting board with baronne, towers and whatever, at which point the grind doesn't matter. This is usually when SS feels mechanically underpowered to me>how can I achieve x goal with as few cards as possible?The elegance and minimalism is what drew me to this deck initially so I see what you mean. I guess this is also why it's very unforgiving though so I can't have my cake and eat it too
>>578726258Consistency is power and braindead decks are consistent. Dracotail is busted for a reason.I don't think Striker is that powerful. Going first it puts up a fairly easy board to crack. It's easier to win going second but going second is worse overall in YGO.Striker is like a rogue deck up until Droll gets limited.
>>578727265>I don't think Striker is that powerfulIt's around T2/T3 most of the time and regularly tops tournaments in paper
>>578726685>How do you deal with branded if you lose the grind game against them?Branded is difficult because they just make a towers that's bigger than hour monsters, so you have to invest a lot to beat it. Their recovery is better too. Best thing to do is to try and keep them off of their loop by leveraging shark Canon. You get to steal their best pieces too with it.As for the high ceiling boards, going first, you need to leverage knowledge of what choke points hurt the most and going second, you kinda have to pray you have enough gas and breakers (which isn't usually a problem). The board striker makes isn't very threatening usually so you have to be patient with your interruptions until you can force a half board which is more manageable to punch through. >>578727265Also this anon is correct I played pure dracotail because if you generally play correctly (trust me when I say that lots of yugioh players don't) the deck does the rest. Striker needs that little bit more from you to get results. It's a rewarding deck though.
sex with cardboard girls
>>578713723why is lab so expensive now?
>>578727757>leverage knowledge of what choke points hurt the most This might be the thing I'm not great at since when I run into a big combo, big endboard opp I ash or negate starters but it feels like they can always rebuild anyway.Anyway from what you're saying the feeling of being underpowered/being the underdog of all your matches isn't a bug it's a feature. That's reassuring at least, I thought I was just shitI'll have to see in the long term if this is something I can stick to or if I prefer a deck with more security (but all of them feel clunky and inelegant compared to SS)
>>578709403how come you haven't uploaded in a month :(
any platinum kiddies in here?
>>578728289>all of them feel clunky and inelegant compared to SSKT has little to no slop, a short main combo, small engine, and is just as versatile as Sky Striker, except it actually builds a threatening endboard. Also will keep being good for a long while.I will concede however that nearly every other archetype in the current and upcoming meta are bloated slopfests. KT is the only one to be somewhat streamlined.
>>578728289I'd suggest Pure Radiant Typhoon if you want a similar feeling deck. The pure variant is outclassed by the zodiac version because of consistency and ceiling, but it does have the advantage of being able to go second a bit better since it plays more quick play board breakers, and it has Shiina which is a disgusting card. You're doing a similar thing as Striker but MST + Mandate is kinda a one size fits all answer because it's a straight up (but interuptable) on field negate alongside other powerful effects on their big monsters. So you have the benefit of learning the choke points with an easier loop. If you end up liking the deck, invest in the zodiac parts because it just ups the consistency and power quite a bit.
>>578728765I don't want to craft the earthbound card man
>>578727956Lab is still cheap. It's everything surrounding it that's gotten expensive. And the worst part is that it's terrible. You're much better off playing Mark.
>>578728765>Somewhat streamlinedOnly by virtue of everything doing everything lol. Reco and Mix are functionally the exact same yugioh card, Cue's the most cracked-out version possible of ice ryzeal-style one-card-ED-play card design, and KTS is just 'yeah, I'll be whatever the fuck you want, why even bother designing another card when I can just be more of the one we already have'.No other archetype feels so much like they could've just written the deck's entire endboard interaction on a single card and been done with it, the thing's only not slop by virtue of being a raw bowl of pistachios that you just sit there eating for four minutes. Like here's pistachio number one, here's pistachio 2... 3, still a pistachio...
>Cielo and the Ashtras Level 7s will be free bodies in Kashtira but the Rank 7 pool is so ass, you still be forced to play zone lock turboAt least Konami JP has to admit that they banned the wrong card.
>>578723521>still cant get the field spellLol
>>578728765>KT is the only one to be somewhat streamlined.Mitsurugi?Also how can you be sure that KT will be good in the long term? SS has remained good for almost a decade because every new generic spell is support for them. KT doesn't seem as flexible
>>578730453dragon ruler and kashtira will forever make konami avoid good rank 7s. you will make galaxy tomahawk and you will like it.
>>578731041Nta but the gameplan is pretty fundamentally strong, but it's so strong that it would get attention and get hit into oblivion. Branded and SS are supported enough and also just strong enough that they can coast by under the radar for a long time, appearing and exploiting metal where they're favorably matched because they still have great card quality. Lunalight is kinda the same because they just win if the meta cant easily out their towers. The new wisdom is pick a mid tier
>>578731041NTA but KT, like Maliss is only hold down by the banlist and power creep.Tear got derthroned by Maliss and Ryzeal and both of these got dethroned by KT and Toon. Elfnote has yet to win an no banlist tourney.
>>578730443That's great though because it makes KT much less vulnerable to power creep and bans than archetypes that depend on specific cards to be good, like Maliss (no I don't consider the current cyberse slop deck that uses a Maliss engine to be authentically "Maliss"). So doesn't it imply that KT will still reliably be a threat in the future?
>>578731351>but it's so strongDid you mean "not so strong"?
>>578728998I took a quick glance at the deck and it does seem interesting, thanks for the recommendation. It also seems to be the same kind of "as long as we keep getting quick plays we'll keep being good" kind of deck as SS which is nice.

How the fuck do you learn how to "break boards?" Especially when people preemptively set up so many negates these days, I don't know how the hell you're meant to do it.I feel bad for people who come to MD with the idea that they're going to "try" Yu-gi-oh. As a returning player, I'm already scratching my head. Nothing about the way the game is set up teaches you how to engage with the kinds of complex board states and answers that are abundant these days.
>>578759758You don't. At best, halfboards after you handtrap them to death may be breakable.If you could reliably break boards while using the strongest going second boardbreakers in the game, blind second decks would be remotely tiered. As it is, most relevant decks set up 5-6+ interruptions and handtraps, while going second probably has 2-4 starters on average (and most irrelevant shitdecks will set up more)."YGO isn't a coinflip game, you just need to learn how break boards, just watch some high level player streams" was the biggest cope sold to me when I started this game, if anything watching those streams taught me that top players know when to scoop and get the fuck outta there ASAP.If you're going to seriously try, then your basic algo should be>What interruptions does this deck have, including stuff that can pop out from GY, hand, backrow, and ED?>Do I have a wincon line? If any of my cards resolve, can I get enough bodies to run over his guys, or a boss that this deck can't out at all? If not, scoop>Is there any possible way I can resolve this line, by baiting out the above interruptions, or using breakers to remove 2-3 of them? If not, scoop>Attempt your planned sequence then die to Ash/Impulse/Droll in hand anywaysThough this is entirely a matchup knowledge and experience check, made worse by YGO being a game that encourages just stuffing two decks together or running random bricks
>>578742623>>578740853>>578740106NTA but I don't think using the onomats is fair since I know a few of their names are just the japanese take on sound effect, i.e "zubaba" is the sfx they use for a shock, they aren't just named something silly for no reason, or at least, the silliness is based on something rather than being for the sake of it, as Yuma had an overall musical/percussion theme in his deck between the onomats and the musical djinns.Also MTG's use of terms is an actual issue and is why I lost interest in the game when I tried it for a few weeks. While YGO does have slang terms like garnet or HOPT or whatever, the dumbest names are just that, names for the card and card only. MTG has way more words like that and they AREN'T slang, so the official card text will tell you to have your card "go on an adventure" with complete seriousness.And because MTG likes introducing new terms with new cards, you're going to constantly be needing to figure out what it means when a card "starts an investigation" or what the hell a "scheme" is. I find YGO to be really complicated and was probably only able to properly learn it because the person who taught me how to play was a literal ex-Judge, but on the base level, YGO is very simple and the complexity and confusion comes from more niche card interactions like why your detached XYZ material goes to the grave even when D-Fissure is up, or figuring out how to abuse stuff that isn't hard once per turn. You don't load up a game and then have to spend 5 minutes figuring out what it means when Spongebob flips a Krabby Patty token to "fry" one game, then spend the next wondering what exactly it means when Sonic "spindashes" to go +5. PSCT was a blessing.
>fifth rank up game to diamond 2>you go secondi'm such an idiot for playing a chink game abusing westerners
>>578721919Telling lies. JUSH format was pretty good and anything post full power Tear was immediately more playable.
>>578725668
>>578761594>Attempt your planned sequence then die to Ash/Impulse/Droll in hand anywaysCan't tell you how many times this happens to me, out of all the decks I play, Lunalight is probably the most handtrap resistant and can even work through Droll but getting Drolled+Ashed+Pulsed going second while also having to look at a Baronne, some other slop negate dragon and a set imperm is just the worst feeling. I had a game go to turn 12 because the other guy drew nothing but handtraps and dominus cards and just kept nuking any attempt I had to get off the ground till he finally got his starter and killed me.I dunno how they'd fix it, but you shouldn't be able to Ash someone while sitting on multiple negates on the field.
wememba when spright red elf an ip was considered a impsossible board to break
>>578762321Just win broIt's that easy
>>578739641"pop" Ok fag.
>>578759758Non Target/Destruction removal.You don't want to rely too much on old board breakers like Raigeki and Dark Hole.Nu-Yu-Gi-Oh makes it impossible to break boards with the old spell board wipes, you have to rely on super poly, Kaijus and Lava Golem.There is an exception, Book of Eclipse, because it flips down and makes your opp's vulnerable to the old breakers but can be ashed, it a good breaker that can also be bait.Spell/traps removal or wipes are a whole different topic, konami hasn't giving us something new in that regard, heavy storm, feather duster and lightning storm are still the best breakers, maybe Hey Trunade is also in that discussion.Evenly is an okay breaker but if you can't floodgate/ lock out your opp by next turn you're dead.But the most important part about going second decks is that your Maxx C / Fuwa + Purulia resolve and your Opp's plays into it and doesn't has droll, so they give you enough draws to be even able to play.Not to speak about the dozen floodgates modern decks can set up.

>>5787667973 Ash1 roach3 Fuwa3 Droplet (not in every deck but most)everything else kinda depends on the deck, like if your deck draws a lot more handtraps like Veiler and Belle see uptick in value, and obviously going second decks have their own staples like Feather Duster and Lightning Storm

KT is more akin to Branded than a "true" combo deck, in that it plays "midrange" with shorter combos and layered disruption.It's easy enough to pick up while being strong but you can definitely feel the difference between good and bad KT players.
>>578759758Just play into their board
>open webm>vision engage upstart>close webmkill yourself
every handtrap should come with the restriction of only working when you control no cards that came from your starting deck or extra deck, there, going second is 10% less terrible
i sure wish i would draw those 4 handtrap hands during any of the 70% of the times i lose the coinflip and not when i happen to win a coinflip
>>578763498Crazy that Floo is still heavily hit, it likely wouldn't shake up the meta at all if they were to free the birds and the statue.
>>578769471By true combo deck you mean spreadsheet decks like Elfnote? That's fine by me I don't want to memorize an excel sheet, when I say combo I mean clear lines I can learn but if they're short that's great.>you can definitely feel the difference between good and bad KT players.I think that's true for every deck
>>578770085agreed. setting up your board then ending with 3 hand traps is just fucking gay
1 win away from Elohell.
>>578772384STOP RIGHT THERE, ITS TOO LATE IN THE MONTH TO GO IN DIAMOND YOU WILL WASTE GEMS
>>578772384If you rank up into diamond but dont reach diamond 1 you will miss out on gems
>>578770085>>578772215Setting up a board AND having hand traps is definitely bad. It should be one or the other, at the very least, with hand traps being errata'd to enforce this.But with the game's power creep and acceleration issues, with some unhit decks being able to run really high consistency outputs, you'll probably start running into decks that just can't be really stopped without having a shitton of negates. Which is a balancing issue that Konami just has zero interest in doing anything about. Master Duel is in an especially bad place though, so if they don't start throwing us some bones, I think the player base is actually going to start getting frustrated enough that some numbers start to drop. I'm not saying "it'll kill MD finally," but people can only put up with what's supposed to be fun feeding them mostly negative or neutral emotional responses for so long, and the people who are enjoying themselves the least could start to trickle out.

>>578777253Forget about the Dominus thing, brain lapse
>>578777253Some decks actually do just go full combo after burning through resources, because some archetypes are just full of starters that will find what you need.

>>578779828that was you? lmaoo eat shit

As someone who hasn't encountered Elfnote yet, be straight with me: is it that the archetype has powers that people find to be awful, that the archetype is a powerful enabler, or both?
>>578777253notice how you didn't actually describe a scenario where the card stays on your field until you have the opportunity to activate it, you just jumped straight to "baronne is on the field and tries to destroy something and does not have its negate live"
>>578779828whats better this or power patron???

>>578780453i can't be straight i play branded
what the point of saving gems even for TOONS if they suck going second, we all know how the bo1 works
>>578779828scoop if you recognize it and don't have any handtraps to try to stop it or the very specific outs to it in your deck (lava golem, gold bowling ball)but since the combo is quite long I can understand waiting just to see if the pilot knows his combo in ranked
I deleted the gameIs there any other place to play YGO online?
>>578781412nope, edopro is literally dead, duelingbook is not fun and full of mini himmlers and omega is janky
>>578777253Fun fact: you can negate the activation and destroy any spell or trap without allowing your opponent to activate MMF, because when an activation is negated, those cards are not considered to be on the field

If there's one thing I really enjoy about the Pumpking/CotH stuff, it's that Snake Hair can stun Link Zone monsters and just completely fuck up someone's lines. It's also fun doing this to other Extra Deck monsters that you know are just being used as part of a line or combo, and absolutely 1000% are just going to be sent for something else after they've served their purpose like Dark Magician of Destruction.
>save me firewall drag.. ack!why blue cards players are like this
>>578783103I remember when Stratos was ban list. I get why it's not anymore, but now that HERO has all this new support, it does make their deck obnoxiously consistent. It should get an "effects of this card's name can only be used once per turn" errata.
>>578780453BothThe engine is powerful but "fine" by itself, but it also summons annoying generic ED monsters like Baronne, Dragster, Omega and Crystal Wing on top of it
So if I want to build Killer Tune right now I'm fucked right? It's expensive and everything needs to be crafted

Can someone explain Azamina to me? I'm not high up enough in shit to have ever encountered it, but I randomly pulled Saint Azamina in a pack, now I'm curious about what the fuck the deck actually is.
>>578794615gy faggotry with negate slop, also floodgates and skill drain
>>578794615Pure Azamina is a deck with lots of GY effects on its spells and traps so it wants to mill itself with cards like Reasoning. Also it essentially fuses using its spells/traps as material. It has some funny plays like a monster that makes all your monsters reflect all battle damage, and an archetypal kaiju from the extra deck.It's more commonly played in conjunction with White Forest and occasionally other archetypes than it is played pure.
Which of the new starting decks is the best?The RDA one seems fun but you guys said onomat and cydra were decent so I'm not sure. I don't want to have to craft or pull packs for now so I'd like to use the deck as-is
Several weeks into playing Wights, and I continue to run into people who think they can Chalice in response to my attack while Lady in Wight is in play. Can MD players actually not read? Or do they just refuse to, and can't comprehend that sometimes a card is unaffected by something that can target it?
>>578776506>im uninstalling this garbage lolGood, another weak faggot filtered
>>578781587>edopro is literally deadIs it?
>>578784682You tend to get fatter in your 30s when your metabolism shuts down
>>578795275>chalicemaybe if you got out of bronze you'd find people who can read
>>578795528I'm in Gold, actually. But I get it.Also, unironically:>Here's a monster with 5k+ attack>It's immune to spell and trap effectsActually makes some people short-circuit. Like, lots of decks have answers to this really simple board, but sometimes it makes people act really weird. I watched a player go through their lines once, and get really deep into it, only to suddenly surrender because they goofed up and weren't going to get what they needed to remove my King.
>>578795258None of them are really good right out of the box, they're intended to give you a base of cards to build off of rather than to just be played as they come. They'll all require buying 2-3 copies of the structure deck and crafting a couple URs.With that in mind, the Onomat one is the best, but also it's just a heavy do combo = win, don't combo = lose deck. People will either surrender once you start your combo, or they're new and won't realize that you've won when you resolved your starter and will instead surrender at the end of your combo.Personally I like Sharks the best out of them, and they're often legal+very strong in events. But it's missing Stealth Kragen which is a legacy pack UR. I don't really know modern Cydra other than for a non-OTK build you'd want the entire K9 engine.

>>578795821You're not having real duels until you hit at least middle of Platinum, as it is impossible to rank down in Gold wait until then before you start to get a big head.
>>578597895>Top tier decks being sold at high prices >Yet somehow an almost irrelevant (or about to be) engine is the problem Make it make sense, dog. Josh hate for Azamina and Diabellestar is funny to me.
>>578795821You generally shouldn't be in a situation where they have the opportunity to make that mistake because you should just be OTKing with the deck. And monster based removal is by far the most common so Lady in Wight's protection is really really unreliable.Of course the deck's so bad that none of this really matters. It's only marginally more of a "real" deck than something like Cloudians. Subspsace Battle is pretty funny for the deck though. If your opponent doesn't just reveal 3 Ash Blossoms then it's 3 Foolish Burials.
>>578796105>SharksWhich one's that? The only three decks I was given upon installing the game were RDA, cyber dragon and onomat.>all require buying 2-3 copies of the structure deck and crafting a couple URs.Man that sucks I didn't want to craft URs, I want to save up the dust
>>578797361First time?
>>578797442>The only three decksI forgot that they started giving them out for free to new players now. You can buy other structure decks in the shop for 500 gems. You get like 9k gems per month f2p so they're very cheap. And a couple UR crafts for a whole deck is also cheap.Of just those three, Onomat is the clear best but also the least fun in my opinion and it was very popular for the first few weeks it got support then everyone dropped it RDA is missing a lot to be playable, but is about to get new support and is played a lot in events, and pure Cydra is a somewhat gimmicky but decently playable OTK deck that can with some other investments be played as a going first deck.
>>578797378>You generally shouldn't be in a situation where they have the opportunity to make that mistake because you should just be OTKing with the deck.Unless you go first. Which sometimes happens, and I like to actually play it out when it does.Also, goofy as hell to compare Wights, a deck with real consistency and a plan that could at least theoretically work, to a deck as entirely useless at its own concept as Cloudians.
>>578720670Yeah the game is shit as always, but it can't get any worse right? At least not until toons come out. Presumably we'll get a good banlist after Worlds/September DC, which should help right? ...right?
>>578798125>Unless you go first. Which sometimes happensThis is a complete and total lie.
>>578797907>RDA is missing a lot to be playable, but is about to get new support What is it usually played with to be meta viable?I'd have to try out the onomat one and learn the combo to see if I can bear with it too. From what I understand it's basically a r4nk toolbox pure combo deck?I'm guessing the masterduelmeta guide is the one I should be looking at? It's from 2025 but onomat is an old archetype iirc
>>578798349Unironically, you do just go first sometimes. Especially in the lower tiers where I am, you sometimes just encounter Cyber Dragons or something, and they hand you the go first if you lose the coin toss.
>>578798147>Presumably we'll get a good banlist after Worlds/September DC, which should help right? ...right?I remind you of the banlist from last year, post Worlds and remind you that KT and Elfnote are still T2 and T1 in the OCG, so 4 months in the future.https://www.masterduelmeta.com/articles/news/october-01-2025/master-duel-forbidden-list-updateDid this dogwater banlist change anything during Ryzeal/Maliss format?No
>>578798462RDA is really lacking in extenders so people who are trying to play it seriously outside of the bottom ranks usually run like 8+ Centurion URs, some Bystials, and 3 Stone Sweepers. It's a very cheap deck to make at a base level but very expensive to try and optimize.But again, it's going to get a bunch of new cards, maybe even as soon as next week so that could change quickly.
>>578798772The very next one was this, though.
>>578799178>only took them an addition 30 days to fix their own game and save their cash cow while almost killing it and doing irreparable damage to the reputation of the gameMan I can't wait for PP to release to have another shit tier 3 deck in the format my pet deck dies to, just to get steam rolled by toons and elf notes and KT for the next 4 - 6 months.
>>578798974>8+ Centurion URsOof. Both archetypes look cool as fuck though so you're making me consider itI'll wait to see the new support and probably learn the onomat combo anywayThanks anon
>>578799178Droll might finally die.
I've been hanging out in theme chronicle because I can have mostly fun duels on Mimighoul with no Branded or Elfnote slop in sight.
>>578801717>Mimighoulpost list
>>578801818Sure. No Mimi Master makes things weird and means you gotta cut Throne which sucks but the deck still functions just fine, I typically go Giant + Ripple Bird into sitting on UDF. Millenium-Eyes is your anti-droll card that can be used as XYZ material after. I'm swapping Belle out for more Ashes and maybe Ogre. Bot Herder is your alt wincon and I run Charm because it's hilarious but I wouldn't recommend it if you're actually trying to climb, feels great to steal a Baronne or some other omni for free though. It can also be useful for telling you if someone is on some blind second deck like Ancient Gear, I run this card in regular ranked too to be honest.You die to all the handtraps and hand Traps (Dominus), there's not enough good Rank 1's and we still have no Treasure Panther for no reason, but Ghouls are fun in the lower power format.
>>578801717I'd rather fight Exodia than your nigger ass
>>578802598>no masteroh damn, nevermind. i never really learned the combos in the first place, i wouldn't be able to play without him
>>578800464Droll dying only makes the game worse.
“midrange” just means combo-control but combo doesnt mean combo which is actually ftk in ygo and control doesnt mean control in terms of speed which is closer to stun
>>578805991Combo means proactiveControl means reactiveMidrange is in between

People who want droll and ash banned would inevitably destroy all combo shit and then when they are inevitably faced with MAN or lab, what do you think the first thing out of their mouth is gonna be?"kill stun"
Remember that guy making all the posts about how Gimmick Puppet was totally going to BULLY all the metaSHEEP, then the deck released and nobody played it and the guy stopped posting about it? Probably the same guy spamming about the new Mirror Force.
>>578808570the guy trying to come up with shit for small world every now and then with literally no one else giving a shit is kinda funny
>>578806861nta but I've come to hate Gimmick Puppet on principle>but it's not consistentI don't really care, who in their right mind designed a deck with the intended gameplan being to FTK your opponentwhy would someone make this, who thought this was a good idea, it's one thing if the FTKs happen but it's another to make that the actual end goal

>MD babbies pretend their format is better than the TCG when they don't even have Crocodile
>>578799610I built Onomat when it came out and I can't tell you it was an incredible investment. Almost every event has the deck completely untouched, the combos are pretty simple to understand, the deck is damn hard to handtrap, you can pivot into an OTK if going second and most opponents don't last beyond turn 3 because of the amount of big bodies you make. All of that plus the fact that its tooolboxy and has quite some room for customization.
