Should I build SS or wait for the banlist?
>>579328989New Pack announced most likelyNew Banlist maybe on the 9th
>>579324236>>579284492Sky Striker isn't included because the deck's going first winrate isn't great (the board is breakable with only engine cards) which can affect the going first winrate statistics.Its going second winrate is better, but not really noteworthy.
look at what you did
>>579329198>>579329223I think another issue (which Josh also noted) is that first turn player also have the benefit of using handtraps against the going second player ontop of their endboards.
>>579329025SS will never be hitits THE deck for retards
>>579329412Guess why Ash and Impulse is at 2 in the OCGWe most likely get these hits in MD too.Especially since Impulse gets rotated out of the shop next month.
>>579329573If it's for retards how come it doesn't win easily? >>579329198
>>579319759I remember managing to FTK a player that Shifter-ed me because I manage to open with Galaxy Queen's Light
>>579329735because retards are the ones playing dbarrier or whatever other random ass floodgate while """"pros"""" dont do that
IM TIRED OF BEING TIRED OF YU-GI-OH ALL THE TIMEhttps://youtu.be/P-uvL0Yt5A4https://youtu.be/P-uvL0Yt5A4https://youtu.be/P-uvL0Yt5A4
>want to do trap daily>add 3 imperm 3 impulse 3 spark>draw NONE for 4 games in a rowwtf
>>579330083MAN is super cheap to build and can do the daily easily
>>579330083"The strongest Duelists have the power to will the cards in their hands"
>3 games in a row draw my 1-of garnetcan you fucking PLEASE fix the fucking shuffler goddamn
>>579329923>NOOOO WHY ARE GY HT DECKS SO STRONG?!>IF THERE WAS ONLY A COUNTER PLAY!
>>579330465They didNow you get that card you always wantedYou're welcome
>>579330465The Master Duel WCS have multiple series of games where the players somehow always opened up with their limited to one cards.
What would you say is the quintessential combo deck?
>>579330708Haram obviously
>>579330313i dont have songs of the dominators so its more expensive
Do you guys tend to play a single deck most of the time, or do you switch between several?Do you have a clear favorite?
>>579330708Six Samurai, it literally could combo infinitely.
Josh Kelly has a rolad guide on his metafy for only 30 bucks. Do I cop it or nah? I really wanna learn rolad from a pro
>>579331259wait what happened to this deckweren't people saying it was good on release?
>>579329923We love master duel over here
>>579331931it's fine and missing half of its cards.not playable as a deck right now, just an engine in synchro decks.in a similar spot to mitsurugi before its second wave.
>dracotail faggot hits me with every handtrap under the sun>turns pass>topdeck into engraver>go into caesar, then recover mutiny with the spare sequence, fuse into aerial eater go full unchained combo>dracotail faggot scoopshave you thanked engraver today? fiendlink forever
>>579329923hope the banlist will be as fat as him
>>579332207Why is he laughing? I thought he hated maliss?
>>579332487you know when you life is such a trainwreck that it goes from being rage inducing to humorous?that's how joshua was when watching worlds, can't be mad forever, at some point you just laugh at how terrible the gameplay being presented is, especially when he is just paid to watch the thing
>>579332487He's laughing at the bullshit.When you get tired of the insane slop some decks can pull, you start laughing like Nicolas Cage in Face/Off.
>>579332414Based fellow Unchained enjoyer. I also went up against a Dracotail deck today, but I got my ass handed to me because I suck at this game. I like to think I'm getting better, but long lose streaks have been making me feel down lately.
>>579331931It's good with ElfnoteBut it's also Elfnote doing the heavy lifting
>>579333172>insane slopDidn't you people keep saying Maliss had been nerfed to shit
>>579333934braindead gacha coomer is braindeadkys tranny
>>579333934to be fair that was the only good duel i had today. all the others were shitshows
>>579334120maliss' consistency was hit, but nothing else.basically now if you handtrap maliss they might just pass on nothing, but if you don't open the right handtraps they literally do the exact same thing they always did.
>literally only have to Link summon 1 monster to finish dailies for the month>loses toss 5 times in a rowYeah nahAlt + F4 Fuck this dogshit game.
>>579334120that's why it's called slop, you slap some stupid draw engine like RT then a single sarc can start your plays
>>579334120The ceiling is still absurd, the consistency is just worse nowClassic Konami
>>579334306consistency hits are stupid, cards should be put at 0 or 3, plus there is so many way to retrieve your engine piece, it doesn't matter anymore
Silver bullet banlist hits aren't magically going to fix fundamental game design choices. Giving the second player extra resources is at best a bandaid solution that only addresses the symptoms.It's not an accident or a mia culpa from Konami innocently printing a couple of bad eggs. It's two consecutive decades of consistent rake-stepping unanimously across 5+ different formats, year after year after year. There's more than enough evidence that the game state isn't due to incompetence, it's very intentional maliciousness.The literal ONLY solution is a player-made and player-run format similar to MTG's Commander (IN SPIRIT, not mechanics) that divorces the game from Konami's cancerous policy.
>>579334306>>579334356>>579334365>tfw I purposefully avoided building it because I thought it was shit now
why wasn't unc at worlds btw?
>>579334465the only answer so far from konami was the genesys format>see? no links no pendand you play some "soulful" deck against blitzclique which is the equivalent of a low powered Vanquish Soul K9
>>579334450braindead retard take
>>579334450consistency hits are trash and only look good on a spreadsheet, like yeah maliss has a "fair" winrate now compared to before, but when you actually play against them it's miserable for both sides.maliss players don't enjoy their deck because they brick and pass to a stiff breeze, the opponent enjoy playing against it because it's either win the handtrap minigame or bust.i hate spreadsheet balancing so much, the gameplay experience is more than just numbers, which is why i hate maxx c and droll too.>>579334485you are right in not building it, the deck is not a great investement as it doesn't even have a secret pack.and it bricks a lot, the issue is that when it doesn't brick it does batshit insane stuff
>>579335023thanks for your arguments goldie
>>579334746Genesys suffers from the same exact issues.
>>579334490no one invited him
Honestly hes kinda right. We need turn -1 effects where we can auto summon a monster with a floodgate effect at game start if we make a deck that meets it's conditions.
>>579334490he hates the format (cope)
>>579335178i feel like a sizeable portion of the playerbase think they are owed a win when they go first.when you use turn 0 against then they feel like you violated their rights
>i will wake up to every RDA cards being anounced and released in 3 days
>>579335178everyone hated vsk9 and dracotail for their turn 0 plays
>>579335504rolad slut only useful for bridging
>>579329923He is only talking about TCG btw.Look at any of these deck lists and tell me what their "going second and my mulchamry resolved but I stare down a 6+ omni negate board + HT" plan is
>>579336648MD is not any better, we had retarded cards and deck untouched for months
Which decks require as little matchup knowledge as possible? I'm tired of games being decided by whether or not I know the exact bottleneck of whatever slop the opp is playing and if I don't ash the right extender I'm fuckedI want to just do my thing
>>579336919branded
>>579336919Any combo deck
>>579336648the same shit applies to masterduel, master duel has even more non games.master duel only looks more balanced on spreadsheets because of maxx c and droll being at 2.yay the going second player wins because maxx c resolved and the dude going first passed on nothing, so fun and interactive.
>>579336919Tenpai, you just hope you draw a starter and enough boardbreakers/handtraps to stop an average metatroon deck.I play both the sky striker and handtrap (harmonia + impulse) version and i've had more success with the later, both are fun though.
You should only be able to summon extra deck monsters tied to your main deck monsters. ORYou can just summon only one boss monster per turnORYou must declare what kind of extra deck monster you're summoning (Synchro, link, etc.) and can only summon three of them per turnORMain deck monsters can be now added to the extra deck, and you can activate those main deck monsters' effects whenever applicable.
>>579336919Tenpai
>>579337282It's funny, the rotation format they're trying out in the OCG accomplishes all that
>>579337216Thats one turn one players for not having a half board setup so many are just combo brained that if it cant be all or nothing they just quit
>>579336919MANBarrier stun
>>579336919the word used for what you described is "ignorant"ignorant decks are ones that don't care about what the opponent plays or does, if they do their thing they win most of the time.lunalight is probably the best right now, an anon mentionned tenpai, and yes tenpai is that kind of deck but it's very hit.
I just fucking hate decks like Sky Striker or Radiant Typhoon with a passion. They ignore resource management and go +2 whenever they fucking feel like it.
>>579337481>Make half-board>Opponent easily breaks it and OTK's youwow
>>579337481dractoail is the only competitive deck in the game that can make a halfboard under maxx c right now.all the other decks fold to it.
>>579329923>also I will stream some pack opening september 3rd, that will be a lot of funthat flaming retard is also part of the problem
>>579337651>>579337669People will say this and then unironically defend Mulcharmies
>>579337754mulcharmies are a problem but they do not exist in the same realm as maxx c when it comes to power level.it's much more realistic to play under a mulcharmy and not insta lose from giving the opponent too many draws.
>>579337669>>579337651Yes most people run bricks and letting them draw more will break their plans
>>579337481>Just special summon a single time in a turn and still somehow put enough interactions to deal with your opponent 6 card hand brot. Dracotail subhuman
Purrely sexsex with Purrely
What's gonna happen to the game if Josh quits bros? I'm starting to get scared...
Has anyone got a good RDA deck list I don't know what I should put in
>>579337754It is possible for most decent decks make good halfboards under Mulcharmies, and if you can't you are probably playing the comboslop it was meant to stopAlso the going first player can't drop it on you after making a full board
>>579337754Nice fuwa retard, I only special summon from the ED twice anyways.
