>spend millions developing gacha game
>make it p2w on launch
>nobody plays it
Why are so many video games like this, how do you spend so much on development only to fumble at the last minute? Is it ego? Or some underestimation of the market? You'd think games would be f2p friendly first then get progressively more p2w over time. Worked for MMOs.

Not gonna pretend.

This NIGGA ended on Seals pass and NO other cards.
Widow Anchor it, he chains, learns the hard way, scoops.

I just opened on 3 imperm and 2 ash it's over for me.

I swear I didn't do anything to him, that's just his endboard

I don't like Bystials

I love Bystials

>>713788554 (OP)
But Master Duel is very F2P friendly.
>pic unrelated
Okay, so what game are you actually thinking of?

Disturbed by the amount of players who don't know what the field spell does.

>>713791009
She really is. I found it strange that TCGfags were begging for a Baronne ban after Apollousa.
Baronne is a much more restrictive summon and doesn't do enough going first. Yummy can spam Herald of the Arclight instead which is also a floodgate on top of an omni and isn't OPT.
Unban Norden and Ryzeal and Synchroslop are less of a problem going second. But Apollousa would still be a menace and always will be.

This is like eating while watching mukbang youtube videos.

Are there any decks with a themed Macro Cosmos in the archetype

>>713793520
Kashtira

>>713795280
Spell/Trap Macro Cosmos

>>713796347
bystial kinda

>>713793520
Helios

>>713793520
Only these

>>713796592
I ran Etude for a while but I realize it only looks good on paper. The biggest issue is opponents sending cards from the deck to the GY. Similar problem to VW Shenshen, XYZ, Fusions that shuffle also shit all over it. And against Malice it's obviously dogshit.
Herald of the Arc Light would be good if it didn't also block hand effects.

>>713791786
TCGfags don't play the game

>>713789163
I'm dumb, why did he have to tribute the ash instead of Seals like usual?

>>713791009
stop shilling your mods

>>713791786
Baronne and especially Savage are the really dumb generic hits. Like I get why people don't like Baronne, but she literally only gets one negate and the pop can even help with breaking boards when you're going second.
Apo totally deserved to get shot, but even if Baronne were legal she wouldn't be anywhere near oppressive

>>713798274
Because you can't return Widow Anchor to the hand, so his only valid target what seals itself

>>713798274
Nta but if the only face-up cards in the field were seals and a spell, read that hieratic seal says "return 1 face-up card on the field to the hand". You can't bounce a non continous effect spell while it's resolving, so the only valid bounce target effect was the seal itself. That means he can't tribute the seal otherwise the effect would have no valid targets so the mandatory effect on resolution is tributing a monster from the hand to bounce seals.

>>713798274
You can't return non-continuous/equip/field spells/traps to the hand in the same chain they were activated.
Widow Anchor is a quick-play spell, so it can't be returned to the hand. Seals is the only valid target on the field, so in order for it to return itself, it must tribute something from the hand, which was forcibly Ash.

Yugipedia quote:
>When a Normal, Quick-Play or Ritual Spell Card, or a Normal or Counter Trap Card, is activated, it cannot be returned from the field to the hand or Deck during that Chain unless it has an effect that would cause it to remain on the field after activation, such as "Swords of Revealing Light"

>>713788554 (OP)
Good. Konami gets what they deserve after making the game broken forever.

>>713788554 (OP)
I think gacha games should be banned

>>713798403
>even if Baronne were legal she wouldn't be anywhere near oppressive
OSS was also banned in the TCG so there's no generic tutoring Jet Synchron even if they wanted to.
Savage, Baronne and OSS are all legal in Master Duel and you never see Savage-Baronnne boards outside Pendslop. Savage has basically disappeared from the game.

>>713798490
I fucked up my wording on the last part of the post, meant to say that after declaring the activation he's forced to pay the cost (no takesie backsies) to put the effect on the chain. He probably saw that he could only tribute ash, did it and scooped.

Are we getting Ryzeal and/or Maliss this month?

>>713799736
Thinking about it, have we gotten any leaks for the next pack?

>>713799736
>shaking up meta right before worlds
no

>>713799975
Nope. Dkayed hasn't leaked anything yet, and last month he said we'd get Battlewasp this month which turned out untrue. It's not looking good.

Why was Snake-Eyes allowed to exist for 2 years in Master Duel, no deck in any other meta was allowed to be top tier for so long.
When Snake-Eyes was at its WORST (Fire King Snake-Eyes) it was the same viability as Yubel fiendslop. Millennium Snake-Eyes is the strongest variant ever and it came to Master Duel first. Master Duel also got Promethean first, so we also had pure Snake-Eyes the longest.
Not a year of fire, an eternity in hell

>>713788554 (OP)
What are you talking about? I literally just play Mathmech and gives me instawins, and wait until I have access to the new @ignister support lmao

>>713802290
>exist for 2 years in Master Duel
1 year and 4 months

If your deck basically has no bad matchups except maybe Crystron is it broken?

>>713804759
sure i guess

>>713801118
Labrynth support and Yubel released in July.

>>713788554 (OP)
The lore nigger cries in duplicity as he asks for more support by pretending he loves the story

what's the pack to pull from? i'm coming close to losing out on gems due to the time limit in the gift box

>>713789203
full house is a pretty good hand imho. what did the dealer have?

>>713806405
I had a lot of luck from the pack with the Tears in it, but realistically you don't want to pull from expiring selection packs, too much risk you run out of gems on your last pull and get 0 UR

>>713802290
It's a fundamental flaw with the MD banlist philosophy. SE got hits just like Tear for instance, but unlike Tear which people would just keep replacing hits with weaker options, SE got sub-engines that just pushed it farther and then those sub-engines also never got meaningfully hit. This is what you get when you don't have a proper banlist. Tear, SE, Kashtira, Branded, all still playable and not properly addressed, ever. MD won't ever have SE go away, you're stuck with it just like the other former top decks.

just play eternal card game instead

i have to spend some gems cause my first gems in the box to expire is on the first of july. I already have tear core so i dont need any of that. i guess i could always pull some master packs.

>>713791382
probably shadowverse

>>713809843
I pull from Master Packs if I am overflowing with gems. Fuck the haters, no risk getting 0 UR and losing your chance for a pity UR on the next pack

>>713809307
>Tear, SE, Kashtira, Branded, all still playable and not properly addressed
I think Tear/Kash/Branded are in a good place, but to beat all of them you do have to run a certain number of cards.
Snake-Eyes is different because it's functionally an engine for shitting out generic Links. That's why other generic Link engines like Fiendsmith and Millennium work so well with it and why it got stronger and not weaker.
Banning Apollousa unironically kills Snake-Eyes though, since Usa is the wincon

when konami.

>>713811393
>I think Tear/Kash/Branded are in a good place
Not really. Kashtira is still totally unfair when it pops off, and Tearlaments is still gambleslop that is totally unfair when it pops off but isn't as bad. Branded isn't fundamentally broken but you can't deny its results. Probably should get a real hit. Branded Fusion should go back to 1 and something else that isn't a stupid consistency hit. Also consider SHS is still basically untouched as well and people only don't play it because it is the most boring deck in existence.

>Banning Apollousa unironically kills Snake-Eyes though, since Usa is the wincon
Not really, Apo is just that cherry on top that pushes the deck another level higher. It still does unfair shit and the deck still has unlimited followup. Flamberge, Ash, or OSS is the only real way to actually hurt the deck in a meaningful way.

what mates, stage or box would you want i would love the other maids to get mates and a stage.

There has to be something interesting next month, either Ryzeal and/or Malice, or Dragonmaids and/or Orcust, we've gone through a 2-month drought of relatively uninteresting Selection Packs and having the Qualifiers early in the month didn't help at all. Worst of all, I'm seeing almost nothing but meta in Platinum, especially Primite BE which I'm sick of. No wonder these threads are so dead, and it's not like there's much to discuss about YGO videogames, considering Early Days Collection was just a rom dump.

>>713809843
Buy some cosmetics or extra deck slots. Mine are also close to start expiring, on July 4th to be more specific, and I haven't even claimed the Duel Pass rewards, there's really nothing good to spend on at the moment.

>>713813858
trust the plan
the deadnaming is imminent

>>713811724
Sexy apes are the pinnacle of evolution, for a reason Dinomorphia also evolved into demi-humans.

>>713813442
Maids already have a deckbox, sleeves, avatar and a premium mate, they're only missing a wallpaper and a duel field. The most ideal scenario would be them getting a dedicated bundle with the alt-art cards released.

>>713811393
>Tear/Kash/Branded

I can see how Kash might be in a good spot, but I'm heavily biased against it and I still believe that Unicorn and Fenrir should remain perma-limited or banned, they're nothing but mistakes created to "counter" an even worse deck and the only thing that happened was that it gave said deck yet another extension because "MUH LORE" and it hurted every single other deck at the time.

Meanwhile, Tear is still seeing play and is now abusing Fiendsmith to have easy access to Pilgrim Reaper, yet another mill-5 card, and Branded has remained consistent for way too long while using the End Phase as a Main Phase 3 and having insane recovery potential. You can bet you will once again see these decks in the next Worlds because no hit has been meaningful enough for them to finally bring them down.

kash and tear where a mistake and should be removed from the game not just banned removed struck from the records.
