They should make a single-player Yugioh game where you can use the Millennium Items to cheat.
>>
>>578831497
This already happens in a number of Yu-Gi-Oh! games, technically. Just not necessarily under your control.

A number of the earlier games feature a mechanic called Destiny Draw, where you spontaneously draw a powerful card instead of your regular draw. This is in line with the Pharaoh's ability to draw a key card at the perfect moment by using the Millennium Puzzle's power of unity to unconsciously re-order his deck.

magistus fairy tail is exactly what maliss was a year ago. yet no one brings it up or rates it or complains about it
>>
>>578834174
fairytail endboard is infinitely more breakable, has less follow up and doesn't draw 20 cards for non engine and they're vulnerable to hand traps unlike malpiss which can self droll easily
the fairy tail endboard still is auto win though which isn't fun

>>578834912
and another negate in the magistus fusion (or a floodgate synchro) but they're monsters so they're weak to most going second cards anyway unlike the newer decks which have back row or follow up in hand to stop you from killing them
snow is fucked up but its honestly doesn't feel as bad as it did compared to when to when it was used in pile decks a while back with chaos ruler and zombie vampire
still fairytail magistus is really strong but its still kinda rougeish

Note that those are assuming no other lines of play - most hands or lists will have more bodies so you don't have to give up anything, either through having a second Chorozo or through just using the other starters available in your hand.

She can be just a regular dracotail T0 if you open her with another name, but otherwise she's A. A way to dodge interactions on your summons, B. A way to get to an early unexpected negate, C. A from-hand fusion material that gets you flame, D. part of an actual Dracotail smokescreen (opening ketu, rahu, Mululu, etc.), or E. part of your endboard, since you can always search her off summon sorc, usually if you already have droll, and use her to go into secretarion off borreload, weaver off your usual names, or the dracotail fusions if you maintained a name in hand.

If you're not a whale and full up on the base alread, desu I'd just view it as 30 free UR dust with an upside. Don't grab anything SR, and don't bother metagaming for what looks best - I've never once seen an alt Albaz and thought anything other than 'ugh this idiot again'.

Either get a one-of you can see yourself using and don't already have, like
>Masq, Black rose, Winda, Talker, Stardust, Ra, Lady Lab
or get one of the three ofs that advance you towards new evergreen decks like
>Kagari, Engage, Ash, Belle, Diabelle

>>578838205
Ask the dumb retarded gooks at Konami HQ

>>578838205
It's very hand dependent, the new endymion and verre are what enable that - anyone who's tried running just Spenta and palls over the last year know how garbage it is having to just normal Zoroa, the entire line depends on him not only activating a slow effect but ALSO successfully equipping - pop him or veiler him and their turn's over, the link 1 does absolutely fuck all on its own.

Their payoffs are also notably lower quality - both Borreload and Verethtraga are WAY too honest endboard pieces. Borrel only gets a negate if it resolves the equip from grave (disruptabe on activation and can hit the grave target), plus his negate only hits activation and doesn't even destroy; Verethraga only gets to negate monster effects and has a cost associated with the activation that usually results in him self-owning, and his succ isn't quick effect speed so he always feels like only half a boss monster.

Teller's the only good payoff and her being a fusion makes the endboard EXTREMELY superpolyable too, the deck's good but very fair in a way shit like Barronne or Zalen w/ backup very aren't.

never seen this card in my life, I swear some of these people queue with a blank deck and choose cards from their library as they play (still lost to time limit though because it was the event lmao)
>>
>>578839742
the pure fairy tail endboard is obliterated by mind mirror force, and the harder they go in on magistus crap the more they play into it
you have to look at the annoying endboards some decks put up now and consider how it'll look when the next wave of breakers enter the game
>>
>>578839742
I don't know what to tell you man, I've been slowly oozing up the Diamond > Master ranks to mid M3 now over the last week and I've seen the board disappear to this guy or a single droplet more than a few times - I've played a number of decks with negaty endboards but practically no one instascoops to FT at higher ladder, they always make me sweat it out.

(Also not sure what you mean by 'luna negating' or verethraga dodging droplet?? My dood if they have droplet they're firing that off before any monster effect important enough to negate ever gets activated lol, it's legitimately tilting piloting a zoroa and just staring now how good decks are at spamming spells right now)
>>
>>578840018
That was likely pure K9. They do usually need to run it as another lv5. But yeah, you will never be ready for it

this is pretty pretty terrible.
>droplet
nah you really are baiting me. you end on 4 to 5 monsters every time and have disruptions in the backrow and the graveyard. there isn't enough cards for droplet to be of value and no one is shotgunning droplet only to have a single card in the hand that gets negated. just stop

He come out. Teller gone. Borrel gone. He get big. Do you zorua? If not he can attac. board is gone, unless he snows, in which case that's another interact forced. 4 card hand vs. paniced snows and maybe a targeting monster negate from the field.

>>
>>578840425
More disruptive effects tend to be on monsters, so preventing spells from activating in response is marginally better. Traps are much more situational. You only really need to get like 2-3 monster negates usually, and in those kinds of decks, the cards you mentioned tend to be pretty integral to your board too

>>
>>578840584
> 4 card hand vs. paniced snows and maybe a targeting monster negate from the field.
doesn't matter if FT ash blossoms and you lose because your normal summon couldn't play through it
the bullshit is that FT can do that crap off 1 card and still grip 4 nonengine FTs that are 1 for 1 negates for your going second hand
>>
>>578840730
Should have shuffled better
>>
>>578840807
He's talking about Favorite Flare, it eats 3 interactions on its own
Though compared to other Super Poly targets that's not much unless the effect resolves
>>
>>578840945
They don't have any draw power at all lol?? It's not like maliss getting draws for free, or Elfnote getting draws off Libraria, or typhoon getting draws for breathing, or KT just running 30 handtraps as playmakers although to be fair normal summon veiler is sometimes a starter for us Magistus too
>>
>>578841059
I see. It's still terrible. Going battle phase to remove a single card means you have already lost.
>>
>>578841108
>They don't have any draw power at all lol??
don't be retarded, you and everyone else here knows that doesn't matter because 1CC
1CC enable deck structures of >40-50% handtraps + super poly + F&V
No normal summon reliance means they can normal summon veiler or droll as the extender

frankly it sounds like you guys are complaining more about magistus than FT, they're the ones that can swarm the field with free bodies and negates without using NS and that was their gameplan even as a solo deck

On your turn you activate feather duster, heavy storm, lightning storm, raigeki, dark hole and then normal summon raye and activate each linkage fast enough to otk.

here, you could probably add in cartesia, but I'm satisfied with this
the deck practically doesn't care about droll unless you start with swordsoul emergence, white albaz helps you extend massively since ecclesia can go into any swordsoul, the deck is pretty underrated imo
fuwa is a bit of a problem but if your hand is good enough you should be able to set up 4-5 disruptions while only giving 2 draws

A deck that just plays a bunch of cards that says "no you can't play the game" is the antithesis of what a card game is supposed to be. What you're saying is that a long battle against cancer is worse than dropping dead instantly from a heart attack.
>>
>>578878959
You can easily cheat with a coin-flip system. It’s much harder with rock-paper-scissors, because both players eventually get information about their result, and each player’s result depends on the other player’s input without them knowing it.
Unless you have an even more devious system where the values assigned to the winner and loser are swapped somewhere along the way.

Stun does not say you "no you can't play the game", it's core philosophy id "You're free to play the game, but please be respectful of both of our time by not special summoning".

If your deck is critically dependent on special summoning to function, then that's a problem with your deck.

similar tp those spell cards that allow double draw etc (at the cost of hand usage), they should make floodgates for 10-minute turns (i like the direction of the blitz mode). i figure something like paying a LP price for each play you make or setting a total level/rank limit for all the monsters you can use per turn or per duel.

the game is no longer about skill, but money (buying archetypes which play themselves and do everything with any card) ...

Challenge for /vg/ - for the remainder of the season, put a one-of reborn in your deck and see how good/bad it feels.

There's less than 10 decklists on it from the last month and that just doesn't seem fair with our sexy new alt. Actually does have impact in a lot of games too, I've been caught off guard by it a few times and it actually is a playmaker in a lit of l1 decks too
>>
>>578894852
>extender that gets you one body but only after there's already stuff in the GY
No thank you. Spell Card Monster Reborn is going to be better almost every time since at least it can be used as interruption or to dodge GY targets and it's rare the monster you bring back will have an effect that wasn't already used.
The card needs some support to see play. Like something that can search it as part of a combo. Or its own archetype like MST got.

The alt looks awesome though, and it's cool that it has the OCG animation. Will definitely use it in time travel events.

New event kind of sucks, doesn't it? Almost all of the same decks are here as usual; your opponent just has to play faster. At least you don't have to win that many games to get the reward.

I was doing Monarchs, since you can tell extremely fast whether it's gonna win or not. I bumped into a 60 card Branded pile. They used Fallen&Virtuous to pop my tribute summoned monster to get around Domain, but I had already flipped Erupt. So they went through what lines they could, could not get any ETB effects off, and still ended in a more advantageous position than I could answer, only to ragequit.

This event should be permanent. Part of the awfulness of this game is that on top of everything else it feels like you're wasting so much time. At least the buttfucking is fast and it forces dickheads to not prolong their turns playing solitaire when they could just move to battle phase and win at any point
This event is really good for doing dailies as well

>>578897884
>Reborn is only worth playing at this point if it's >1
That's not how this works. It's an unsearchable self-contained card. You aren't running bricks to make it work. It's just a card that you either draw or you don't. If you want to draw it then you run it at max copies. If you don't want to draw it then you don't play it. People don't play Reborn because it's not good.

This is like thinking people would cut Shifter or Maxx C from their decks because they got limited. No, the card is just as strong when you draw it, you just have fewer games you can sack by drawing it.

No deck wants to play more than one of their archetypal graveyard extender and the last deck to do so was Gouki mainly because Rematch was double monster reborn for generic Link spam.
>>
>>578897884
Spell card monster reborn is only good for a body, not an effect - in that respect just running instant fusion is better in pretty much every case.

Think something like in Fairy Tail Magistus - normal summon zoroa's very impermable, veilerable or F&V able, but here you can

>Summon and activate Zorua, get impermed
>Link 1
>Monster reborn
>Attach moon maiden with her effect, don't activate him, activate search
>Get spoon, use spoon, summon out crowley
>Spoon grave effect, attach to zorua, again no effect
>Bring out Chorozo, board now has 3 lvl 4s
>Link off into Crescent Magistus, effect attaching to Zorua
>Finally activate, two level 4s + a link 2 you can use for summon sorc shenanigans

I'd say just run the archetype's own reborn in Magistus Vrita or even thunder of judgement but for whatever damn reason they have almost no way of searching anything other than monsters

Interesting, thanks for letting me know. I checked on MDM and noticed that The Fallen and the Virtuous and a Branded synchro have crept up on the usage list, I assumed it was because of Branded's prevalence but looking deeper it sems like every deck under the sun is running it. I'm dumb as hell and don't see the application, can someone explain why it's seeing a 40% usage rate right now?
>>
>>578900126
Spell Card Reborn is good because it's quickplay so you can do shit like dodge Called By, revive their Albaz when they go to revive it, or set it and use it as GY disruption. These are all more common scenarios than being able to Monster Reborn something that has an effect you haven't already used, and more importantly they're more likely to happen when you need that effect to win the game. Reborn's advantages are more likely to be win-more scenarios like having free reign on turn 3, or bringing back a boss monster.

Not that it matters much, both suck.
>>
>>578900235
je suis monte!
>>
>>578900416
The synchro actually gets summoned in a few decks, but mainly in Branded itself. In other decks you're only going to see something like
>the opponent uses imperm on your starter
>chain F&V to dodge it, sending Albion
>do your combo
>end phase Albion sets a second F&V
>use it on their turn as an iterruption and send the synchro
>start your turn using the synchro's GY effect to remove one of their cards
It's just a very flexible staple that provides a lot of value over a game.
>>
>>578900416
F&V is a pop engine that replaces itself because albion just grabs you another after being sent from the ED.
It can also be used to dodge targeting hand traps like imperm by popping your own monster.
You can also send the synchro to get an additional disruption form the synchro's GY effect.
Its a very versatile card that uses very little commitment, just like 2-3 ED spots
>>
>>578900416
>Activate F&V
>Send Albion
>During End Phase, Albion sets another F&V
>Second F&V sends Synchro Ecclesia

Truly, HERO is in such an asinine state right now. Not only does it build stupid-ass boards like this, but it refills its hand constantly while doing it, allowing them to throw down a bunch of facedowns or potentially reserve hand traps.

In a more reasonable card game, decks would have to either be one or the other. Either you'd set up and hope that your opponent can't break it, or you'd have fewer answers or high power options, but an easier time getting and recovering your pieces if you aren't handled right.

HERO is definitely not "the worst" or anything, but it's definitely indicative of how far the game has come in terms of how few shits are given about balance when it comes to design. That is to say, it's not as cancerous as a lot of other things, but it's indicative of how deep that the cancer has set in, that even a deck like this can be this ridiculous. It doesn't even remotely resemble itself anymore; it's just a pile of better cards wearing MASKs so they can cosplay as an archetype.

The golden glow packs actually have a lower chance of being UR than the glowless packs. Higher odds of SR though.
Can't find the screenshot but there's a Japanese video that did thousands of pulls and got the rough odds for everything. Utopia showing up actually does mean a slightly higher chance of getting a UR, and so does having more of the lightning bolts.
But the rainbow glow = UR is the only 100% thing I know of.

Phara does seem pretty good actually. I don't have elfnoets so I'm not sure if I give a damn about power patron. Apparently I'm a retard who missed out on the meta deck but I wasn't even playing the game at the time so whatever, I guess.

Would pot of sloth be a UR? Every other pot or jar has been SR at most. Also isn't this just a draw 1? I guess it lets you reshuffle your hand? I'm not sure what to think about this since it kind of just replaces itself but maybe lets you move some cards around if you're going second

Actually, since pot of sloth has you draw the cards before you put them back, what happens to cards with effects like "When this is added to hand"? I assume nothing since from my knowledge, 99% of them have the caveat "except by drawing it" at the end. Are there any cards that don't say this? is there some bullshit "if you put this card back into the deck, shit happens" effect I don't know about?

>What am I missing?
That it's better to start your turn with the best 6 cards from the top 15 cards of your deck than it is to start your turn with a random 6.

Unless they specify you can, you can't trigger effects of cards in the deck. Also cards that trigger off of being sent somewhere have to be there when they would trigger; it's like if someone sends a monster to the GY as cost and you banish it before the next chain.

Yeah not that anon but I don't think it's as set in stone as all that. There's an established history of making pots SRs by default, since greed's an obvious tier above all of them; for how generic and useful they are you could 100% say extrav, despires or prosp should also be URs, moreso at least than upstart, but they all stuck to pattern.

Only thing that's changed is Konami's need to keep funding new pack releases with chase cards lol

Yes it floodgates, but almost entirely monster floodgates that don't block special summons (the easiest to "draw the out")
It also has iffy followup and recursion after its turn 2 board is broken, which is what you want. You don't want a deck that has a turn 3 as or stronger than the turn 1. Elfnote and Elfnote slop variants are that kind of deck

Master Duel is the official simulator
I don't know what Duel World and Arcduel are. There's the anime Arc-V and Duel World is I guess what you'd call the world in the DS games?
Duel Masters is a completely different game that is published by WotC
Dueling Network is an unofficial simulator

There is only one main game and that is what you play in Master Duel. There are no "game types" or different formats or anything like that. The events in Master Duel may alter the banlist or add funny mechanics, but they're ultimately still based on the same game, which is Master Duel.
Duel Links/Rush Duel are different games by Konami with similar Yugioh mechanics.

Bros, I think I'm falling in love with dracotail magistus. Twintail magistus, thats what i call it. it's SO good. It's so good. Faimena does so goddamn much for you going first or second but there's synergy all over. Arthalion adding Crowley to hand triggers him, or you can send a fairy fusion back to ed to fuse into again. Secretarion recycles your fairy fusions out of nowhere. Zoroa can revive draco names to field for more fusion plays, while flame gives you +2 charges for snow. Any magistus name on field goes into Zorua with Faimena without having to crowley and you can now have weaver on board almost every game, i just got a weaver + teller + borreload + flame board UNDER DROLL, against 60 card branded with F&V and droplet in hand, and they couldn't do a darn thing.

The deck is SO goddamn fun i legit cant stop thinking about it here in bed hours after midnight. You have freestyle plays for everything and drain Master-level timers like nobody's business since everyone's just like HUH???? the moment you diverge from the combo line (TM)
>>
>>578949979

then what about genesys, Edison, and others? (mind you, i know what the first two are, as i sometimes play them). then there is this yes/no side deck that the fellas here are hard on about. say what? im pretty sure i have seen those around since my duel generation days, at least.

It's legitimately fantastic though. The Summon Sorc and especially Akashic are optional flex as getting the bodies for a droll search gets costly, but at least sorc is quite good when you open urgula since you can use it as late combo fusion fodder, sorc out fimena then add back with urgula in grave.

Kashtira combo takes 40 seconds when you want to end on Shangri, Arise, Fenrir and Unicorn.

If you're just talking about something like Dragoon, then you don't need more than like a Zeus and Typhon.
If you're talking about actual towers then the only somewhat relevant deck to have them is Lunalight and you should probably just accept the occasional unavoidable loss instead of putting in cards that will make your deck worse and never be drawn when you need them. Hand traps to stop them from coming out in the first place are better.
If you're talking about shitdecks like Cyberdarks then just run an Underworld Goddess I guess.

it was also getting slowly powercrept before the last support wave came out and then it shot back up into relevance and hasn't left since

I wonder what the next support wave will look like considering how Zero pretty much single-handedly made SS great again
But people often say "SS is always good because all new generic spells are SS support" but I think that's reductive, the deck doesn't seem to fare well in a meta with a very fast tempo. I've only played it a few times but it feels underpowered against a lot of decks
>>
>>579007008
It's not that bad, it's just not good enough in a deck that can't easily search it as a small part of its combo. Unlike Dinos which can get it for free on the way to what they were already comboing towards, Strikers would need to give up the search of something else. On top of that it's just not a fantastic draw against 99% of decks in a deck that lives and dies off the average quality of its draws. It's not even a proper Kaiju you can just drop whenever. You need another Sky Striker on board.

And against the one deck in the meta that you really would want a kaiju for, they put up two towers and OTK on turn 3 so you'd need to recycle it on a later turn.
If I was really that worried about Lunalight I think I'd rather just run Ultimate Slayer over F&V with that one Lunalight fusion so Raye can kill double Liger in battle.

yeah I actually agree, I think this is a really good meta for SS but it does tend to fluctuate depending on what the best decks are
I think there's some truth to that though, not entirely but cards like F&V, and Crown, and RT just slotted in really nicely for them and bumped it up just a little more to where it is now

Unironically, the stacking of setting up negates on board at the start of the game, on top of hand traps, is making it a pain in the ass to do dailies.
>Do 3 Fusion Summons
is a pretty easy task on paper, until your opponent answers all your fusion spells before you can resolve them. Same with negating literally all of your other attempts to set up other summoning types. It feels genuinely bad that I sometimes have to play sometimes at least three games before I can even get one off.

>>579008781
the support was good but the deck is super fragile to any form of interruption still with little way to push through, that said Georgious was a very good card that other decks are free to abuse

>>579009082
That fucking sucks. What's up with konami making mid support for duel terminal archetypes?
>>
>>579009270
Honestly I wouldn't even really call the support mid
Its more that the game has just sort of advanced to this point where its either your deck is obviously shilled to be meta or its not.
>>
>>579009270
I wish I could say that the baseline just isn't strong enough for a crazy support buff to fix, but Toons happened and showed that if they really wanted to they could make it work anyway
to me, it feels like they want to keep the original spirit and playstyle of the decks intact even if it's outdated and probably would be better if they just overhauled it entirely, like with the Shaddolls, or X-Sabers
the support WAS good, but it's on the back of old cards (intentionally), that said Tellarknights actually ended up decent mostly because they had their own wave of support like 3 years ago, so they're not that out of date

Primarily that they were just avenues for (mostly) the same decks to shit on other decks. It's soul-sucking to load into so many matches against the same two really popular decks, especially when they both open with long setups for negates so you're not allowed to play. In particular, I noted that it wasn't even worth playing with the loaners like GMX and Shaddoll, because they just couldn't remotely stack up to what was being allowed.

You can just use her effect to finish someone off if you somehow fail the OTK. Send her from the ED as material to fuse with Dispersion then copy her effect with Master Diamond. Personally I cut her from the deck. You can already copy Topaz or Ruby and even shuffle Ruby back from banish so you can summon him with Diamond Dispersion
Between Quartz+Scatter Fusion wanting you to go second, Nepyrim halving your main phase burn, and Diamond Dispersion just cheating out 3 fusions, the deck's all about battle now unless you want to put up generic interruptions+hollowcore going first.
>>
>>579027694
Oh that's one of those fucky xyz's that detach as an effect so you can trigger "sent by card effect" monsters that it had as mats.
>>
>>579025940
The problem with going second is that you can nuke the monster negs off the board, but they'll still have 2-3 nonengine or some omni trap in the backrow and hand for your 2-3 starters anyways
So you wait 10 minutes for the other guy to set up because combos in this game take too long uninterrupted, then you die without resolving a single card the same as if you were a going first deck that lost the coinflip

Your best bet is to play a going first deck that also has a ton of free built-in breaker effects and that doesn't give a shit about monster removal/on-field interruptions from a half-board like the ones in >>579026236
Though don't really agree with KT being there, any deck that needs to stick a body on board (that doesn't dodge everything on its own like Raye/Yummy) is pretty shitty going second, stick some Mitsu slop hybrid or something there instead

I don't need a perfect banlist update, but I do need a banlist update that actually does something substantial to the current state of play.

More specifically though, Master Duel probably needs a banlist that reduces the access of negates available to high consistency decks. Too many popular decks are starting to interfere with players' ability to play the game regularly, and that includes people just not being able to make plays on their turns without being stifled to death. Not only does this generate a lot of frustration and create an experience that makes people want to play less, it also gets in the way of players' ability to do their dailies (as has been mentioned a few times in recent threads), an regular ritual of play that live services like this one need you to be able to execute on in order to help keep you hooked.

No side deck, psuedo-bo1.
The 3v3 works where 3 duels are played at once, each player pairs off against someone on the other team and they play a bo1. After that they do it again facing a different opponent. Then they do it a 3rd time.
So up to 9 duels per match, but the 1st team to win 5 takes the whole thing so if you sweep it can end round 2. Also players can swap between their 2 decks between rounds.

Tenpai could not handtrap an Elfnote/Toon combo enough to stop them and wouldn't be able to break these boards with both 3+ negates and recursion.
These decks, just like Tenpai, will OTK through resolving any starter. If they can't go 2nd Tenpai can't either.

>>579033474
>Decks are just too strong
It's true. And it's got a number of factors.
>Some hand traps are generating too much advantage
>Some decks have extremely high consistency with no sacrifice to power
>Some decks have strong access to negates with no sacrifice to power
If you can go first and your opponent has to struggle to play the game at all, and you can still just kill them on the spot the moment they run out of gas, there was no game to be had. If you can play every card you ever wanted to play, it gets around all efforts to control you, and you can still kill your opponent like nothing was holding you back, then nothing they did mattered and there was no point in playing.

To sum it up: this game is way too much like goldfishing. Those hypotheticals where you just simulate what your deck will do, assuming you aren't stopped, are just real now, and a lot of them end in taking the opponent out in one turn.

We've got people arguing about terminology like "mid-range" and failing to understand the things that they're trying to compare to in other card games, because all of those general playstyles and archetypes are just absent in Yu-Gi-Oh. Maybe some decks lean a little bit more this way than that way, but so many decks are just doing everything now that the classifications hardly matter.

Magnet should theoretically be doable now with a small chance since they lost some of the floodgates, but you still need multiple power breakers and more starters than they have handtraps, like 2+ of Slayer/Golem/Spoly or a Droplet sending a trap+mon
Elfnote pure requires you to have a 2-for-1 breaker, something that can hit or bait the trap, and then a starter all survive the handrips, and then for them to not have a second engine or handtrap (so the chance is even lower than Magnets to the point of impracticality)

This does happen. Sometimes, I tough it out through my opponents' plays until they run out of gas, and then they just surrender instead of ending their turn. It doesn't matter if they wiped my board at the end, or if they still have a good couple of pieces left. They just assume that I'm going to get them on the swingback and leave.
>>
>>579035435
That's 100% happened to me.
>>
>>579035815
Yeah, you activate one searcher on turn 3+ after your board is cleared, and look at your options thinking "I already used that, that's stuck in the GY, I don't have another of that in my ED, I can't do anything here..." then your opponent surrenders.

tenpai doesn't really have any better defense against handrip spam or nonengine behind the board than other decks tbdesu
even if they managed to heart of the cards and keep the field in starting hand everyone is also on removal + followup nonengine to boot
>>
tasuku so tiny
>>
>>579036372
If anything, Tenpai is more reliant on catching the opponent off guard than an OTK deck like Gem-knights and if you have hand knowledge it's easier to keep them from extending.

Your deck's missing some of the newest stuff(Masked Hero Contrast is now easy to summon) but it's Heroes. It's always going to be about the same level of mediocre but capable to win with a bit of luck, and will always have people playing it.

The Solo Mode grind takes a while, huh? I realized I was nearly spent out on gems before upcoming packs and had to fight for all the gems I could still extract from it. I'm back up to 4k now before the month turns over, so I think I should be good.

I never said it's good, just that it's flavorful
it is a decent card though self-sabotage and all

>>579041179
Kinda sad that the deck is so weak now, since it was a signature Pendulum deck for what is supposed to be the Arc-V main character's rival.
>>
>>579041118
Tasuku has maliss and sky striker
Maliss was too underrated as a going first deck
Sky striker was too underrated as going second deck

Every deck wins if it goes 1st and does its combo Maliss or not

Reiji is the rival, and DD is actually playable.

Still, MR4 completely fucked up pends and konami don't want fix because playerbase is retarded.

>>579041735
>>579041631
Reiji is a catalyst more than anything. He challenges Yuya, but only enough to get him up and working for his plans. It's Sawatari who battles Yuya again and again, proves he really does have what it takes to not just reform his own skills, but to stand above the others. When they're all dueling Z-ARC, it's Sawatari who finally manages to land a big enough hit that everyone can start to push back.

Yosenju was unironically pretty cool. Also, the anime duel where it gets used against Yuya, as kind of the first public Pendulum vs Pendulum match, was really sick.
