>TQ: What is the most valuable card you own?

i bought blue eyes invoked, how do i not sequence like a fucking idiot?

>>96158676
>is aleister in you hand?
>no: search it, then summon it
>yes: search it again (if possible), then summon it
Ideally you're running 3 aleister, 2 meltdown (3 is fine too, but you'd rather cram more non engine), 1 invocation and 1 terraforming. It should always be your normal summon because it has genuinely no downsides, if it resolves you get a negate out of it, if it doesn't it still baited out a handtrap and you can link it off into spirit, which searches the field that gives you another normal summon for sage. Since the invoked engine doesn't give you quite the same tools primite does (negate + banish, guaranteed blue-eyes summon for seal pass), i like running at least 1 copy of bingo machine go, seeing as wishes is also full combo and you can pick your 3 copies of it with bingo. I don't play the deck irl, but i helped a friend build his with just 3 structures and a handful of old cards, and it's pretty good, he still makes it to top 3 at locals.

>>96158738

I play Meltdown before Aleister even if I have an Aleister already to bait Ash. Usually I only play Wishes after my normal summon to check the coast is clear. I tried one Bingo Machine but games go long because BEWD is midrange and you can run out of targets, so I think a Pot is better.

I'm playing this list but with 3x Droll over Charmies:

https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/blue-eyes-invoked-571322

I don't like Charmies because drawing in a BEWD deck is garbage since you have too many bricks. Nib seems okay because the dead copies pitch to Wishes, but killing the token is surprisingly tough.

I'll keep adjusting this decklist after practicing in Master Duel. Veiler being a searchable hand trap or a Link 1 is cracked. Remaining cards are coming in the mail by next month so I'll try locals then and report back.

I was a semi-pro level Vintage player in MTG but I don't think any skills transferred over

>>96158814
It's fine, but you don't need the second invocation, the only thing that could remove it from your GY is a random crow, aleister getting bystial'd literally doesn't fucking matter. Pot of prosperity is also limited, and obviously you'd run more stuff to have the 2-3 copies you run online, but really, just 1 jet and 2 roar is enough.

If you have Red Cocoon in your GY and 3 RDA monsters there you can summon all 3 during the End Phase?

Has anyone tried making a version of Dueling Book that has "automated" stuff like one normal summon per turn, responding to chains, selecting card from deck etc?
I find that it's so much slower than playing master duel and I really think both players having to wait is the reason

>>96160440
I never tried it myself, but I think Dueling Nexus is supposed to be a browser based auto-sim.

Q: If the effect of Red Cocoon that Special Summons Red Dragon Archfiend from the Graveyard is activated, but the activation of that effect is negated by the effect of Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode, can the effect of Red Cocoon be activated again during the End Phase? Also, if the effect of Red Cocoon that Special Summons Red Dragon Archfiend from the Graveyard is activated, but that effect is negated by The End of Anubis, can the effect of Red Cocoon be activated again during the End Phase?

A: The effect of Red Cocoon can only be activated once during the End Phase that it was sent to the Graveyard. Even if the activation or effect is negated, you cannot activate the effect of Red Cocoon once again.

>https://db.ygoresources.com/qa#16823
Q: If two copies of Red Cocoon were sent to the Graveyard during the same turn, can both of their effects that Special Summon Red Dragon Archfiend from your Graveyard be activated during the End Phase?

A: If two Red Cocoon were sent to the Graveyard during the same turn, you can activate both of their effects during the End Phase. In that case, you can activate both effects in a single chain or activate them separately in different chains.

>tl;dr
You cannot do it off of a single copy of Red Cocoon. You can do it with multiples.

God dammit Romin's huge loli ass made me cum in my pants.

The lore behind Reqlinquished and Thousand Eyes Restrict is my autistic obsession, I wanna know what their deal is so badly

>>96162261
They have no card lore afaik. It's basically just a personification of Pegasus that was corrupted by the power of the Millennium Eye, where its effects directly match what Pegasus was doing to so many people throughout the arc (stealing their loved ones souls/stealing his opponent's monsters so that if they fought back, they would be damaged/take battle damage as a result).

It would be kind of cool to spin it like a sort of protector that was corrupted by the power of the Eye. Rather than using the ones it absorbs as a shield, it instead acts as their shield and protects them from any harm.

>>96162332
A redeemed Thousand Eyes would be so kino

I know all of Ishizu's support card stuff got banned/limited because of Tearlament but I still want to make a deck because she's hot and all the cards are near worthless now

Is it possible to make a deck with just her stuff and no Tearlament engine?

>>96163231
No. For starters, Tearlaments is the thing that put the nail in the coffin, but generic Mill 10 (or 15) and shuffle 3 from both GYs just gives too much control to mill strategies for it to be allowed.

Second, there's just not enough cards in that specific engine to make something playable. It is a case where mixing it with other decks is a requirement. Odion, Gate Guardian, Lightsworn, and Skull Servant are four cases that come to mind off the top of my head.

>>96163231
>because she's hot
based, al*xis and ak*za children can't appreciate true best girl

>>96162261
It's a shame the deck is unusable, kaz really shone with these monsters (even the name is cool, literally "sacrifice"), they literally do feel like ancient, cursed idols you shouldn't even be looking at, let alone printing on cardboard meant to be sold to children. Anima is my favorite out of them all even though it's literally just an upside down relinquished, probably because it reminds me of how pigs are gutted, hanged and let to bleed out before processing. Some guy at my locals runs it with chimera, but it barely works. Luckily the new dragontail deck does have more synergy with it.

>Rather than using the ones it absorbs as a shield, it instead acts as their shield and protects them from any harm.
It already does that thematically, i use it in my ninja deck for that exact purpose. Instant fusion cheats out yaguramaru, sure, but you don't need it turn one, so you're better off summoning millennium-eyes restrict to absorb and negate an ash/veiler/droll/fuwalos.

>>96164515
Millennium-Eyes Restrict was one of the monsters I'd go into with my Tearlaments Witchcrafter builds since it is a Spellcaster and happened to be one of the things the deck could go into on the way to setting up with the Ishizu cards. I miss running that build every day because of how much it trivialized Witchcrafter setup.
>Get some mills going
>GY is set up with enough witches that Genni can reliably play out of the GY in the event that you get interrupted
>Swamp King + any Tearlaments girl gets milled = Millennium-Eyes or Lubellion into Vice-Madame
>Regular Vice-Madame stuff linking into Selene to dig witches out of my GY (and additionally trigger VM)
Millennium-Eyes was integral to a lot of endboards since his presence was capable of shutting down so many plays, and he was hard to deal with if Verre or Haine were on the field (one to tank negates and one to make MER tank hits). I would still be running it if Scheiren were at 3.

Tangentially related but I like Anima because it's like the Aeon from FFX.

>>96158616 (OP)
>TCac
I was hoping the Synchro lock would prevent Telephon FTK. I also considered having it negate the effects of an opp's mon while equipped but that felt like a bit too strong to make an E-Tele, that is also a breaker, that floats into engine.

Structure Deck when!?

>>96166311
sex

>>96166471
They are very cute.

link monsters not having DEF are the ultimate sign of lazy game design
>but they'd break arrows!
exactly, they're a half-assed mechanic konami shat out to sell new cards ASAP

>>96166876
It probably wasn't even Konami that came up with Links, but whoever made the anime.

>>96166876
Can you articulate what is actually lazy about them not having defense points? Or are you just saying shit because you have an axe to grind.
>Defense position would break link arrows!
No, it would just standardize a position that you need to turn your cards when putting a monster into defense position. Just like how introducing mechanics that made columns relevant made it so that you can't rearrange the cards on your field in the middle of a duel.

>>96167068
monsters have ATK and DEF, it's a core feature of the game since day 1. flipping a face-up effect monster face-down is the oldest counterplay to powerful effects in the book (pun intended). introducing a new summoning mechanic that obsoleted most other extra deck monsters until a new master rule already felt like they hadn't been playtested beforehand, launching them with half the stats of every other monster in the game because they'd require the devs to either rethink link arrows or rethink battle position rules AND without the ability to be flipped to negate their powerful effects because they couldn't be assed to do either of those things really feels like someone at konami said "fuck it, just ship it so people can buy it."

links are old news now and the new master rule fixed some of their problems, but they reek of a mechanic that wasn't fully fleshed out in development and got rushed to release.

>>96167267
Okay, but what about that makes a lack of DEF lazy? All you've done is tell me that they're different than the things that came before them, to which I say that Xyz Monsters do not have levels. What it sounds like is that when you say "this is lazy" you actually mean "I don't like this", which is absolutely a fair stance to have but you need to say it with your whole fucking chest.

>>96160465
You do know that EDOpro is on Android as well right? You can use a good automated client and there's no reason you should be using any of the in-browser ones at this point unless you're running on a REAL toaster.
It's first in the OP for a reason.

>>96163231
Anon...you have literally two monster cards to play with. Just go jack off to porn of her if she's the only reason you want to play the deck because it's not remotely possible to do anything with her. Not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to save you a lot of time and disappointment.
Even with all of the names unlimited the deck is really boring to play because it doesn't actually have a meaningful direction to go in besides other better archetypes that actually aim to do something with those mills.

>>96168285
If you weren't trying to be mean you'd make the smart and appropriate suggestion to build a physical deck with her and play it casually with friends.

>>96169052
I covered that effectively, did you just not read the 2nd half of the post?
The deck is boring as hell and doesn't really do anything interesting going on internally. The best you can hope for is that you mill them out and effectively FTK your opponent, after which nobody will play with you because your deck is either FTK or do-nothing. There's no interesting gameplay to be had with the deck and it depends solely on anyrhing else to make it interesting

>>96166876
>wanting to buff traptrix even more when it's already tier zero
kill yourself
the joke is that cularia's end phase effect is more or less useless because the one traptrix that could benefit from it (dionaea) has a hard OPT on her effects, and obviously you can't summon sera in face down ass up position

>>96169235
>I covered that effectively
You did not.

>>96169571
>Describe how the deck is bad and tell them they shouldn't, even in a no banlist format
>Covering your suggested no banlist with friends format
>You did not
Fuck off. The smart and appropriate suggestion is not setting someone up for failure. Tell you what though, I'll give them one positive suggestion.
>>96163231
If you just want to have ishizu around you can play with an official field center with her on it. You can then play anything and always get to see her.

The fact they didn't give these at least super rare foiling is a tragedy. They feel and look like poorly made Temu products.

Proprietary bank report on Konami expects a "Yugioh reboot" to happen in 2016? What do you think they meant by that?

>>96170907
It probably has to do with the thinner cardstock. If you were to add that kind of foil over them it would probably be extremely prone to warping. So instead they opted to go with the gold leaf foiling.
Personally I like gold leaf foil so I have no complaints with them. But to each their own.
All the field centers they produce are thinner cardstock probably because they're not a true game piece and as a way to cut cost. But it would have been nice if they printed it on the same card stock as the cards themselves.

>>96171193
2016 was when the DSoD movie came out, which looked like it was going to be a continuation of the DM series without any of the post-Fusion mechanics and also introduced Dimension Summoning as a concept.
