Shake my hand

Can I get a QRD on what a fiendsmith deck is? There are multiple variants and I want to know how they generally work or what other variants are meant to do

will runick be playable again when ryzeal drops or will there still be too many malice and lancea tards?

>playing insect deck
>opponent uses lancea
>called by
>opponent uses SECOND lancea
the fact this isn't once per turn is the part that gets me

HIS game. in 2 days

>>533611164
Fiendsmith isn't a deck, it's an engine. Which basically means it's a collection of cards you put into actual decks to make them better. The closest to a fiendsmith deck is fiendsmith control which is really just fiendsmith + other engines bundled into one slop pile.
Fiendsmith does the same thing in every deck, it makes extra deck monsters (usually desirae or high king caesar) so you have more disruption in addition to whatever your deck puts out normally.

>>533611826
>Fiendsmith does the same thing in every deck, it makes extra deck monsters so you have more disruption in addition to whatever your deck puts out normally.
That's not entirely true. Decks who run it will also have that as an option for if they already draw a starter for their main engine, but in that case the aim isn't to have more disruption, it's more to put up early negates to protect your combo from hand traps/your opponent's board.
But a lot of decks mainly run it because of its ability to bridge into other archetypes. Like using it to make a level 8 Synchro which will start your Centurion plays if you drew no Centurion cards, or making one of the many rank 4 searchers, or whatever.

A big part of fiendsmith's strength is how versatile it is.

Cool it with the ultimate slayer. I'm dead naming here.

>>533611813
Digimon tcg?

bwahahhahahah he said it again everybody! d-d-hahhahah oh i can't even repeat it, it's so funny!! DEADNAMER!!!!! BWHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

>>533613195
no
looks like the gundam tcg but I don't know anything about it so I'm not sure

>>533611826
>>533612318
What cards are consistently in this engine then? Obviously some of the fiendsmith cards but which ones make the deck "work" and are there any other cards that are used to combo with them in most decks that use fiendsmith?

>>533613195
That's clearly Ryzeal Detonator from Yugioh. it's duel masters I think every other modern card game looks the same

>>533611164
it's an engine you toss into a deck to supplement a main strategy (usually, at least)
engine is, at minimum:
1 Fabled Lurrie
2 FS (Fiendsmith) Engraver
1 Lacrima the Crimson Tears
1 FS Desirae
1 FS Lacrima
1 (usually 2 or 3) FS Tract
1 FS Sequence
1 FS Requiem
it's not required but people usually run a copy of Agnumday as well
Rextremende is too hard to summon whereas the rest of the engine is a one card combo

>>533613598
oh, forgot Moon of the Closed Heaven (turns any two effect monsters into a fiendsmith combo)
there are some other ED monsters people will slot in that fiendsmith can abuse, particularly D/D/D Wave High King Caesar and Necroquip Princess and probably some others that I'm forgetting

>>533613274
The standard minimal package is 2x Engraver, 1x Tract, 1x Lacrima Crimson Tears, and one Fabled Lurrie(for the Tract). For the ED it's usually 1x Requiem, 1x Sequence, 1 Lacrima(fusion), and 1 Desirae.
Fiendsmith in Paradise is common but not always ran, as it turns Lacrima's quick effect into an interruption by sending Desirae on their turn. Agnumday is also common since it gives more OTK power and some other upsides. Moon of the Closed Heaven also may as well be a Fiendsmith card, because its only purpose for existence is to be a light fiend you can summon off of any 2 effect monsters to go into Fiendsmith Requiem, but not every deck that runs it wants to do that. Also Necroquip Princess is used for certain combos. Wave High King Caesar or Apollousa are extremely common as a payoff+to protect from Nib before you start your real combo.

With just an Engrave in hand can get you into a link 4, a rank 4, a rank 6, Chaos Angel, a level 8 synchro, a level 10 synchro or other stuff without using your normal summon, so take your pick from the generics as long as you don't mind using a bunch of extra deck space getting there.

>>533614050
she is so ugly. wouldn't

>>533614835
she's a fiend of course she's ugly

>>533614889
there is no logic in this statement. don't try taking down all the fiend with your ugly skank

>>533614835
Yeah, Engraver got scammed. Imagine having THIS lusting after you and wanting to partner up to help you fight demons when you could have the little gun-nosed guys from Sanct instead. Extreme downgrade.

>>533615025
Not a footfag at all but this is very tasteful.

Mating Pressing Purrely...

>>533611387
You really dont get to complain about cards not being once per turn, insectnigger…

>>533610312 (OP)
You fucking retard, this is the THIRD #1047 thread, it's actually #1050 btw.

>>533610312 (OP)
I forgot the to update edition number like the anon before me. The next one should be 1050

>>533615684
Insect is a fair and balanced deck and I will usually die to a single interruption anyway depending on my opening hand

>>533615762
yikes

>>533615842
Any deck that loops a non once per turn +2 should forever be locked to low rogue power level

>>533615946
And that's where it is. If we're being generous in applying the label rogue.

is it somehow a rule that tenpai HAS to open a backrow wipe? it's never even worth it to do anything against them. it's only 4 cards that do that from a 40 card deck and they ALWAYS have it, always.

why even bother try putting a deck against this. because they never ever brick or draw useless cards

>>533617171
>>533617562
cry more

>>533611387
You see Anon, despite the fact you run Insect and spam effects , you need to remind yourself YGO is full of troons defending a floodgate that hinders a ton of deck.
You see, they’re so hyper focused on Malice, they forget a ton of decks use Banish either as their main strat or it’s woven into their gameplan.
Why yes, Vaalmonica really needed to be hit with Lancea and being unable to get stacks to play the game, it’s not like it was dogshit to begin with right?
But yeah tons of decks need to banish and the troons will still defend their floodgates because why learn to defeat a deck without a floodgate when they can just be retards and use the floodgate? It’s to the point I faced a Kash player who used Lancea before using any of his on field effects (Unicorn and Fenrir) and basically gifted me the game. Fucking clown show of a meta.

>>533618213
Oh get off your high horse. The entire game is about letting your opponent do as little as possible. If a floodgate does that then so be it. Fuck vaalmonica, fuck whatever other shit you play. Why should I "learn to defeat you properly"? If lancea works, then die. Fucking worm.

>purrely fiendslop mimighoul in one 40 card deck
please god just take this game down. this abomination can't exist in your creation

>>533618826
I play into Malice without Lancea and win. If I can do it, everyone else can. You’re just a little pussy faggot, like the TCG dogs. Pretending they’re against bad card design and floodgates unless it’s hitting a deck they hate.
Which frankly? Is a mindset much worse than stun faggots because at least you know what they’re all about from the get go.

>Neither player can activate cards or effects in response to this card's activation.

dumb

>>533618213
You should just not play the decks that lose to the floodgate handtrap that everyone is using for this one month if you don't want to put up with losing to it. I shelved my Argostars because of it. No big deal, I can play them later. not scared of deadnamer, if I'm going second I'm probably losing regardless I've been having fun with Mimighoul and laughing when the opponent handrips themselves with Lancea.

I love that Maliss has nothing to fear from banishment, but it's really not that strong a deck, it's heavily dependent on banishing and it has few ways to react during the opponents turn.

>>533619581
whats your rank

>>533621773
Banishing is still good vs Maliss since their summons from banish are once per turn. You just have to not fire it off randomly. Also it is a very strong deck.

>>533622321
Masters. Did rating on and off. I mostly play Branded so it’s by default not a bad deck into most meta.

can punk work in the synchro event? how relevant is that fusion monster they have

>>533621490
As said on another response, I play branded, a deck hindered by Lancea but not dead from it. I refuse to play the card anyway. Thanks for giving deck ideas however, this is already much more helpful than people coping about the fact they use a floodgate.
>Detonator
With the dweller and Scythe ban, I’ll genuinely bring back Tearlaments into that meta.

It's Duel Masters. Yu-Gi-Oh, as always, stealing all their ideas from the superior game.
Now I understand why it's CROSSOVER Breakers. Ryzeal is from DueMa, Ryu-Ge is Pokemon TCG, and Maliss is Force of Will

>>533611813
>>533612936
Ryzeal Detonator looks like piss compared to the DM card. Holy shit.

free map for floo already

Only if you free Merrli first.

>>533622828
The fusion is very important since it's how you cycle through your names getting you to the guy that gets the field spell which then lets you summon the guy you get off of the level 8 synchro to search the trap(and the field also draws 2), and also the guy that lets you fuse is important to get into rotation anyway since he's the one that lets you quick synchro into Amazing Dragon on their turn to bounce 4.
Maybe you can figure some way you'd like to use them as an engine, since you CAN just do like Ze-Amin search Foxy, Foxy summon Deer Note, make some level 8 synchro, but you won't be able to do all the PUNK stuff without Carp.

I'm glad Blue Eyes is gonna completely disappear soon. What a revolting deck

>>533626139
>I am glad “insert good helmet deck” is replaced by “meta warping OP helmet deck”
That’s how you sound right now. You’ll be begging for Blue Eyes to come back. Just like people are begging for snake eyes to come back because it “wasn’t so bad after all”.

>>533626592
Nope. I hate Blue Eyes. I hate the drill the ONLY card keeping it competitive, the drill beam with all my heart.

>>533626592

How accurate would you say Duel Live represents the state of the game?
I've been watching Duel Live in between games since yesterday and decided to start keeping track of what decks show up in the replays. (Normal Ranked Random)
Here's the top 10 decks so far. Would you say this is an accurate representation of ranked lobbies?

>>533611164
FS is basically just a resource cycle you can put into any deck at the heavy cost of the extra deck. This means its hard to completely push you out of the game and you always have something to threaten them with.
Because of Moon bitch, any deck that can put two spare bodies on board can access the entire FS engine, and if you open Engraver or Tract you can potentially make Apo, Caesar or Desirae before committing to your actual deck which makes you harder to handtrap.

>>533626139
I was fine with Blue Eyes outside of some of their more annoying high ceiling boards. I knew when it left we'd see some awful shit.
Memento support before Pairadice ban and Mermail gave us the first taste of that, then Maliss hit like the fucking KT Impact.

>>533635842
looks about right

>>533635842
duel live only shows replays someone bothered to save and make public so I would assume it's not representative of the average ladder game

Will Tearlament ever come back?

Will it be powercrept into oblivion when they start taking it off the list?

Is there a way to turn banished face down cards, face up?

>>533655089
no

>>533655089
leanchoilia, psy framelord omega, normal summon necro face but these don't flip face down banished cards face up, just put them to a more accessible place. currently there is no real way to actually just flip face down banished cards to be face up banished.

>>533655089
Nyannyan send shuffle back when banished face up.

>>533655026
Ishizu Tears?
Honestly, I find it hard to see how the game could EVER be power crept to that degree.

Pure Tearlaments.

Probably, actually, but it'll be a while. Even if the game ever surpasses the power level of the deck, they'd be slow to unlimit the cards.

I think we'd need to start seeing cards with 4 effects be the norm before that happens though.

Especially with access to the fix of their one weakness: targeted removal.

Is it worth coughing up the gems for these or what? I haven't built a "real" deck yet and after dismantling everything i've gotten from free packs I have 178 SR dust and 205 UR. afaik these are all staples and some of the decks im looking to build have these but at the same time I imagine it might be easier to try and get secret packs for cards that are actually in my deck and use the materials to craft the cards in this image instead

Thanks i'll get them then
>First bundle gives 9 SRs and 3 URs

How many ryzeal variants exist?

So what are the chances that Ryzeal isn't a menace and turns out to be a nothingburger? seeing everyone talk about it like if you aren't also playing ryzeal then you lose, is starting to seem like people just want the deck to be stronger than it actually is

>>533669363
zero, just like how tenpai turned out to be the cancerous deck we all expected it to be and is still shitting up the place even after getting murked on the banlist
if a deck dominates in Bo3 formats with sidedecking there is no reason why it won't do the same in MD

>>533669363
>slap on wrist semi
>Eclipse twin coming next set

What the fuck you think? And they aren't going ban deadnamer.

>>533669363
It's 100% going to be a menace but I do think people are overhyping it a fair bit. People will just run shit like Xyz Encore just like Lancea if its everywhere

>>533611813
isn't this just detonator blasted by ai

>>533671135
Lancea have utility like cockblocking call and evenly.

Encore and kaijus would do jackshit when twin release.

I think think it makes sense for Ryzeal to be Pyro monsters instead of Machine monsters thematically.
Even if they are combustion engines, engines are still a type of machine.
Also, why LIGHT instead of FIRE?

>>533672195
I don't* think

Whore

Im about to just start running Triple Nib for Maliss player. Every single one I go against plays into it

>>533672195
Because it avoid usual support from fire.

>>533677404
Both players playing on turn 0 isn't yugioh. That's just degenerate zoomer slop.

>tenpai asshole
>just magically opened heavy storm
every fucking time

I miss Giant Trunade.

>>533677687
>That's just degenerate zoomer slop.
You mean chess? Where both players are going back and forth 1 action per turn and reacting to each other's strategy?

Turn based game is still a turn based game. The difference is how many consecutive actions per turn players can take at a time. Amp up interaction high enough, and it becomes identical to a single action per turn game.

Comparing Yu-Gi-Oh to fighting game shows you know fuck all about fighting games. ESPECIALLY when TCGs that Rey to emulate fighting games exist and it's nothing like what you think it'd be given your stupid take.

fuwalos really should have the text that you will only get it going first. what a fucking disgusting brick

>>533678358
Been playing fighting games nearly my whole life. When no other yugioh deck can play on turn 0 like Tear can, it means you either play tear or lose to it.

It becomes a fighting game because Tear, mechanically, just ignores the normal restrictions that every other deck has to live by.

>>533679465
What if:
>If you opponent controls a card, and you control no cards
You where able to discard or maybe shuffle it into the deck and draw 1 card?

>>533673816

>>533674451
of course it's a poketard

>>533673816
>You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by negating the effects of a face-up card your opponent controls
this thing's release really was one more step on the powercreep ladder

>>533680657
And what's the problem?
I just made that analogy because it makes sense.
Would you like a food analogy instead?

>>533679989
no downsides to running it then

So, /mdg/. Are you rolling for Ryzeal when the pack comes out or will you be using your gems for something else?

give branded a trap in the graveyard that can negate anything that activates in response to a fusion. that would be epic

vanquish soul more like transquish hole

Just trying to play ranked matches so I can get the newbie structure deck and this guy is purposefully wasting my time and not killing me for no reason. I have 1 card in hand no monsters I literally can't even summon the card in hand cuz it's a tribute and he's playing cards but just not attacking? What drives someone to do this. I have a second monitor so I am just doing other stuff but I can't imagine what reason this person would have to waste 5 minutes on a turn where he plays like 4 cards and doesn't attack to not end the match when it's obvious I don't have anything to do

is ryzeal like a control/midrange deck or can it otk on second turn? doesn't seem to have huge damage potential but maybe I'm missing something

I feel like I should like Ryzeal aesthetically, and yet something about them...repels me
I love giant robots, of any genre, but something about them feels so 'extra' that I just can't get into them, it's almost SD like and I've never been big on that aesthetic
probably just gonna wait for Super Quant support to scratch that mecha itch

>>533684496
unity update. you should read the notifications

>>533682001
I will wait to see what's in September's pack since that's when my gems will start to expire.
I'm not as excited for ryzeal format as I'm for yummy, dracotail and k9.

Why is she never used? literally every new meta relies on broken EDs but decks that have space always choose super poly targets over her

>>533684013
I have constantly been in between Diamond 1 and 2 and everytime I get to my Master rank up game, my opponent has the stones and blows me the fuck out

>>533682867
Tip for new players like you:
Until you reach Platinum, there's no need to stick to duels.
You can get out of Rookie even if you lose.
So if you know a nigger is going to take long to kill you, you can just surrender and start another duel.

cool update

So are you guys crafting Metaltronus or Utimate Slayer?

>>533686091
I will craft solemn judgement to stop you rats from spinning my cards

>>533685373
She's not very good.
>costs multiple ED slots
>will be useless into the non-top meta decks
>can be worthless if you go first
>some decks have cards to recycle their banished ED anyway like march hare
It's the sort of card that sounds good on paper but in practice you'll realize just how many decks people are actually playing, how many alternate choices good decks have of things to summon, how often she lets you down in weird game states like drawing her in a grind game or getting hand trapped out of turn 1 with multiple monsters on board leaves her dead in hand, and to make things worse she's super expensive to use since pivotal ED cards are almost always UR.

Every single time we're going into a new meta people will start posting about how they're totally going to use her, but you'll never hear about how she's actually working the way they imagined past maybe like the first week of the new deck.

>>533687849

it's like spright. you don't need big beaters because you search 10 names and shit out your entire hand for free every turn

those are all fair points. would she be playable/broken if she worked on any card in your deck? then she would at least hit generics like handtraps but even then useless going first is a killer. so yea I just realized how bad she is unicorn is better in every way

>>533688669
stop saying the laggy servers are laggy, you're supposed to blame your opponent for cheating.

are there any other decks with an even remotely similar play style

Also loses to this, in addition to what the other anon said.

>>533688276
Oh I don't know, I think it's funny as hell when someone shits their pants and spams every effect they have at once just because I played Soul Absorption.

Can't make this shit up.

There should be separate ladders.
You've reached Platinum? Now even if you are demoted in future seasons you won't be allowed to match with people who've never reached Platinum even if you are in Rookie or Bronze.
It feels disgusting for new players and only discourages them from playing the game.

chessy cat just has to fucking get banned. and don't fucking downplay the draw 2 effect.

>>533691497
>but she's the least useful of the Maliss monsters
Niggers really say this when they know Chessy + Binder just draw you a lot of handtraps going first.
Ban Chessy Cat and make another Maliss monster with the same effect, but that instead adds a Maliss card of the same type to the hand instead of drawing 2.

I love decks with abusive draw power

>>533688276
ryzeal will cull a lot of the lancea use because people will instead get pissed constantly having their shit popped by the detonator.

>>533691475
In my experience, this just makes things worse for the games that do it. If we pretended it would actually work and they wouldn't still be facing smurfs, then their experience becomes that they start playing with their starter deck vs other starter decks, and are spending time learning and growing to enjoy that sort of 2008 style of Yugioh where everyone is normal summon, set 1 passing. Then they rank up one more time and they now have to face real modern decks. Suddenly all the effort they just put into learning how to play the game that was was a waste, and the feeling that they were improving was a lie because everyone else is playing a different game.
I think it's better to rip the bandage off early so they can realize that the game doesn't play the way they saw it on TV 20 years ago.

What Konami really needs to do is update the tutorial with a new set of duels that teaches you not just the basic mechanics but how the game is actually played.

>>533692491
it's the only thing your worthless ugly deck has going for it

>>533692491
You've never experienced TRVE draw power until you on the opponent's turn activate Runick Flashing Fire then on a new chain activate Fountain to draw 3, and chain Folgo to draw another 3, before quick effect summoning Rafale to excavate 4 and add 1.

>>533692924
>What Konami really needs to do is update the tutorial with a new set of duels that teaches you not just the basic mechanics but how the game is actually played.
Those deck challenges and pretty much all of solo mode is pretty much an extended tutorial. But one that isn't really labelled as such.

Least there's at least some rewards from those and there's a decently large amount of them now, so there'll at least be some filtering through them. Though would be better if they filtered Solo Modes by how modern a deck is. That'd make a way better curve.

>Chink scoops the moment I draw TTT off of White Binder
And people say they don't know what's in your hand

>>533693923
The deck challenges feel more like puzzle duels assuming I'm thinking of the right ones and the basic solo modes just exhibit some of the very basic traits that make irrelevant archetypes unique.

What I'm talking about is like, a tutorial that straight up gives players a basic rundown on the metagame with lessons like "A common way to play the game is going first to resolve a combo set up boss monsters with quick effects to disrupt your opponent's ability to get their own boss monsters on the board" and "Players will commonly use cards with quick effects from the hand to interfere with player 1's ability to do this".
Just basic metagame information with examples of actually competent decks. Not "look at how cool the Element Sabres are!" "if you get all the attributes in the GY the field spell gives like 1600 bonus attack!".

It's a damn shame that Master Duel doesn't have a custom game browser tied into its room system.

Like imagine the weird shit we'd get there if it gave you options to make custom banlists, set different numbers of card draws including Rush Duels' rules, and so on.

Even if it didn't give rewards, would probably still get some more people playing.

And a lot of chances to fuck with people by showing up with Monarch or True Draco to the "No Synchro/No XYZ/No Pendulum/No Link" rooms.

Master Duel needs a real story mode.
Preferably a career mode of some sorts.
But alas they couldn't even do it properly with Duel Links so it's only a delusion.

why not at least limit maxx c? I really can't take it. I can't keep getting hit with it on both my turn and his turn. playing was never even an option

performapal bros... our draw 2 is too strong, they're coming for us after chessy cat

How expensive is the extra deck for Ryzeal?

>>533694810
>>533696581
Master Duel is such a good game that it's a shame that they don't take the steps to make it better.
>runs well
>looks good feels good to play
>very f2p friendly
>just werks
But everything else about it is bad that it's such a waste of potential. We can see into the future of the meta by half a year. Why don't they take more steps to make the meta better based on what happened in the OCG/TCG?
All we have is ranked and the most bare bones of boring events. Why don't they make events that are actually interesting? Why don't they add a story mode? Make it a standalone game using Master Duel as the engine if they must.
Why don't we have alternative formats? THREE days of time travel events? Really? They could be selling extremely rare limited edition EMPEROR RARES of Pot of Greed and having whales pull for the Ultra Ultra Rare Blue Eyes White Dragon sticker to slap onto their Pot of Greed if they really wanted to monetize it.

It's so sad that Master Duel ended up being so good and they just decided to do nothing with it.

>>533698413
Not terribly. Stuff like Tornado Dragon, Light Dragon@ignister, and Castel are URs, but there are cheaper options like Asophiel that are 80% as good and those aren't important parts of your gameplan anyway. They're largely flex spots. So a fully optimized ED will probably be fairly expensive but also be hardly better than a budget one.
The more important cards like Dugares, Bagoosker, and Aggregator are all SR.

maliss can beat full power tearlament in no banlist event just fine i was going first uninterrupted.

>>533666367
>ryzeal variants
Any deck with focus on rank 4 XYZs, any deck that doesn't care about extra at all, any deck with level 4s

>>533699150
Exciton and Banshee are also UR but as you said, flexible

>>533699652
Full power Tearlament IS the best deck ever in the game but that doesn't mean other decks still can't beat it. A few people were seeing rogue success with fucking Madolche in Tear 0.

So we got a degenerate link deck and soon xyz. What are the next degenerate synchro/fusion decks?

MD needs to add tag duels
preferably as a permanent option in duel rooms
also a way to automatically do certain combos to speed up the gameplay for everyone
it is a shame that neither of these will ever happen

>>533701118
>degenerate Synchro
Yummy
>degenerate Fusion
Dracotail but it's probably the least egregious

>>533701118
White Forest is getting good support in a month or two. Lunalight and Gem Knight will also. Not sure you can call any of those degenerate though unless you seethe over every combo, OTK, or towers deck. Dracotail and Yummy are the next meta changers but are still behind K9 VS.

>>533648115
no, i don't think that's the case
there's way too much replay for that to be the case

>>533701032
>A few people were seeing rogue success with fucking Madolche in Tear 0
sure, but that was mostly because tear milled their deck for them and they played all the shufflers

> Millennium Maliss was top one rated deck last season
God, Ryzeal can't come fast enough

So how do you make secret packs pop up again?

>>533704431
Craft a SR or UR that you can find in that pack. If its a pack you never opened, you get one free pull.

>>533699652
>uninterrupted
Tons of decks can make you eat shit uninterrupted. One Havnis, one tear kash… and it’s complete fucking gg.

So, when will either Yummy, Dracotail and K9 come?
November?

>>533704552
so you can just make them pop up again every time you craft something from the pack?

>>533704920
Yup, it can even be the same card. You already have.

>>533701312
Dracotail is a weird case.
I thought I could use it with Branded as a way to make it better. But turns out, after reading more and seeing people play, it’s the other way around. Branded fixes the issues Dracotail has. Between this and DM support, fusion is getting some love.

Or it's like Maliss where it's 1-2 monsters but then they suddenly fill the board?

just give me a structure deck filled with N/R every time i cleared a solo gate goddamnit
it doesn't matter for anyone that's been playing for more than like, 1 week, but it'd really helps completely fresh accounts

Hell, remember how it launched? It's still missing a bunch of potential, but even right now is insanely good compared to back then.

I am 100% certain that Konami only saw this as a minor side thing and not something that would explode anywhere near as big as it did. I don't even think they realize how many players they are currently sustaining with it.

they better reprint purulia in the new selection pack

This card should be coming in the next pack right?

>>533679858
>Been playing fighting games nearly my whole life.
Sure doesn't seem like it.

Fighting games are mind games focused around predicting what your opponent is going to do, baiting out favorable positions, and punishing them for that.

They're effectively a very complicated game of Rock, Paper, Scissors with a high ceiling with reaction and mechanical memorization.

As I said, there are already several TCGs out there, that emulate what it's like to play a fighting game. Yu-Gi-Oh, has zero connection to this concept as Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't have a core counterplay interaction built into the card types. Yu-Gi-Oh is not about predicting what your opponent is going to do, and exploiting that. Yu-Gi-Oh is about setting a puzzle for your opponent to break.

If you made Yu-Gi-Oh more interactive, all it would do, ironically is make the game more like how it used to be before the solitaire spam powercreep.

>When no other yugioh deck can play on turn 0 like Tear can, it means you either play tear or lose to it.
Most decks in current Yu-Gi-Oh play on turn 0. K-9, Dracotail, Vanquish Soul, etc.... just to name a few.
Playing on Turn 0 does don't make you a Tier 0 deck. Labrynth can play on turn 0 and it's not a tier 0 deck.

Also, a deck being so powerful that it's the only thing you can play isn't exclusive to Tearlaments. Every tier 0 deck is defined by that.

>It becomes a fighting game because Tear, mechanically, just ignores the normal restrictions that every other deck has to live by.
That's not how fighting games function st all. And this has been the standard for card design for Yu-Gi-Oh since its conception due to the nature of power creep.
In fact,
>They play a different game than everyone else
Is a standard definition for game design across all competitive games.
See Yuri in Red Alert 2 for example.

Typically when anything in a game breaks the standard rules of the game, it becomes overpowered. It's not a concepts exclusive to fighting games.

>>533682001
Nah.
I'm saving my gems to roll for Alt Art Lab.
The only way to get me to roll is to release Sarc DMG.

>>533710887
usually they end on 2 monsters with the other ryzeal xyz but they can end on just detonator and even just detonator is already a lot of interaction.

>>533720769
Seems likely given how they just put animations on the Dominus traps.

It's anecdotal, but I'm gonna put it out there. The power gap between Ishizu Tears and the rest of the current meta isn't THAT big.

I've fought a few current meta decks in the unlimited event, and the current decks out up much more of a fight than during Tear 0. Ishizu Tear is the best deck, but by such a wide margin anymore.

Maliss, Snake-Eyes, Yubel, etc.... put up a very good fight and it leads to very interesting and dynamic duels.

I actually hope they do something like this again when we get K-9, Vanquish Soul, etc....

>yubel paleo lab fiendsmith tear all crammed into one deck

>>533716438
wheres a countdown?

wish I could report that fucking subhuman and it actually did something. his internet was so shit i had to wait a minute between each action

>>533728693
sounds like a tear 0 skill issue

I've been playing Maliss recently and not having the best time of it. Half of my losses are from me mis-clicking, fucking up my combo, and conceding out of shame. Half of my wins are from opponents conceding when I play my first Maliss card. Oh well, them's the breaks, I will learn to like it.

what the fuck is the average handtrap count right now? 4 of the last 10 duels my opponent opened with 3 handtraps. this shit is getting ridiculous.

Ranked just pisses me off whenever I play it late at night. Everyone has moonrunes in their name and everyone has Maxx C, Fuwa, Ash in their opening hand while I don't draw Called by or Crossout. I love losing before I can even play my first card because Maxx C exists

>>533731178
playing 15 or more is kinda normal
especially if you left lower ranks

>>533729021
>not reporting for slow play
I do agree though that if you disconnect for more than 10 seconds 3 times in one game, the game should auto-concede. I've had way too many games ruined by shitters with third-world internet.

In Yu-Gi-Oh, or all TCGs?
See, when you make statements like these which are intentionally reactionary, then it becomes very hard for me to take you seriously.

I don't exactly see how this pertains to the conversation we're currently having right about card game design and your perceived connection to fighting games.

If you want an answer:
Yes, I do think Ishizu Tearlaments is the strongest deck ever designed in Yu-Gi-Oh thus far.

But framing it in a way such as "strongest deck in existence" is just being hyperbolic without really saying anything meaningful.

I don't think it's impossible for Ishizu Tears to get Powercrept. It's not easy, but it's definitely possibly. And I can definitely think of decks in other TCGs that are comparatively much stronger. Especially in MTG.

That being said, port Tearlaments over to MTG and adapt it to the mechanics there, and it would also be extremely, and stupidly powerful.

Anyway, neither of these points are relevant to the conversation we were having. I don't understand the main point you're trying to make here.

>>533735917
Neither. Your endboard is good enough without them. But if you insist on adding one more brick to your deck, then Rosewhip.

>>533736163
>I don't think it's impossible for Ishizu Tears to get Powercrept. It's not easy, but it's definitely possibly.
It'd actually be extremely easy.

>>533736186
it's for an aroma plant pile, not rikka

>>533736336
At the rate of growth of power creep we're seeing in the game ATM, I think we're at least 5 years away or more before Ishizu Tears is mid. And I can think of ways to power creep it too, bud dredge is just an extremely powerful mechanic overall.

That said, I'm interested in your take.
Shoot.
Realistically, how would you design an archetype that would be stronger than Ishizu Tears?

>>533736626
>how would you design an archetype that would be stronger than Ishizu Tears?
How about you take all the Tear cards and increase their attack by 500. What about an archetype of spells that can be used from the hand that all say that you win the game if you activate them.

>card from a million years ago triggers on normal or special summon
>card from last year triggers only on normal summon
fucking bullshit, why can't my card trigger on special summon too?

>card from a million years ago triggers on normal or special summon
>card from last year triggers only on normal summon
fucking bullshit, why can't my card trigger on special summon too?

>>533736851
Why are you trying to nerf such a mediocre deck?

>>533736163
I play MTG and have semi competitively for over a decade. I wouldn't draw comparisons between the 2 games. Yugioh is basically Vintage on crack, since there's no cost to playing cards.

>Yes, I do think Ishizu Tearlaments is the strongest deck ever designed in Yu-Gi-Oh thus far.
That's all you had to say. Power creeping Ishizu/Tear would likely be nearing the death of the game as it would effectively mean older archetypes would be LITERALLY unplayable, not just astronomically difficult to pilot like in the current meta.

>>533737205
I don't see how this relates to the conversation we were having about "higher interactivity means Yu-Gi-Oh becomes a fighting game."

>>533736832
An easy way is to have a deck with zero locks, multiple in-archetype hand traps for turn 0 plays with as much flexibility as Maiden (basically if Maiden was a hand trap and ALSO disrupted), and many cards that don't have OPT clauses, so you can easily loop things.

>>533737747
You're way too focused on the analogy. What are some of the obvious differences between a TCG and a fighting game?

>>533737008
i don't want to nerf shit, i want a buff

>>533736979
the normal summon effect hurts more than it helps

>play some zombie slop
>literally every opening hand has either banshee or zombie world in it
>push the deck to 60 just so it stops
>oh cool now it happens only every other opening hand!!!!!
can konami stop with the card weighting? it's so fucking blatant.

>>533738324
I mean, I've already stated them in the previous post, but I can go more in depth if you'd like.

The reason I'm focused on the analogy is cause you made it the basis for your main argument, which is a statement I don't agree with, and I also find inherently confusing because of the point your trying to make. What I mean by this is:

1) I don't entirely understand how you see adding more interaction to the game would "turn Yu-Gi-Oh into a fighting game"
2) I don't understand how this would make the game worse.

In fact, my personal opinion is the exact opposite. Take a step back and look at the broader scope of game design. In a turn based game there is a single axis of interactivity, and this is the number of actions a player can take without being interrupted.

On one end, you have something like chess, where players ONLY get one action per turn and go back and forth. This equals a high degree of interactivity.

On the other, you have literal solitaire, where a player plays the game effectively, by themselves. Game's like Yu-Gi-Oh, generally fall somewhere in the middle. You're given a high number of sequential actions at a time, but there are pockets in which players can interact. Them priority switches. Prior to the heavy combo nature of the game, the number of actions you could take in a single turn was rather narrow, roughly between 3-7 during goat format. The rise of handtrals and turn 0 plays, has actually moved the game back closer to that level of interactivity. Because the number of consecutive action a player can take I'm a single turn is reduced. Do away with that interaction, and the game slides back into being solitaire heavy.

Effectively, the concept of a turn, and a turn 0 play, even an interruption, is moreso an illusion created by the games rules. The axis can ultimately move one way or the other, left or right. The amount of power creep is ultimately going to supercede this, because the game is bound to being turn based.

>>533738663
Her on summon effect is a downside. Not only does it leave her vulnerable to cards like Ghost Ogre or Detonator, but it gives the opponent a chain link to chain their Imperm to. People who don't know the deck and don't read closely will do the standard thing of waiting for the opponent to activate their ignition effect before negating the monster only to get blown out by her banishing herself as cost. But her on summon effect gives them a warning that now is the time to negate. And it's MANDATORY. That's what you should be complaining about.

Is there some kind of fuckass card combo In Branded that prevents opponents from summoning from the extra deck INCLUDING fusion monsters? Because I couldn't fusion summon for some reason. Would've won me the game too

So extra deck is meant to have cards that either allow you to continue your combo after disruption or to provide various effects that disrupt the enemy and then like maybe 5 or less of the cards are used as combo pieces or just strong ways to end the game. Correct? I think I was having trouble wrapping my head around it because getting rid of two monsters to summon one monster with less attack didn't make sense to me based on the combos but in actual decks even if they still have less attack you're meant to use them to combo off more and eventually get to higher tier summons that are really hard to beat.

>>533741713
Either he summoned something to your field with Sanctifire Dragon and somehow missed it, you messed up your fusion material somehow, or you locked yourself with some effect you didn't know had a restriction.

>>533736979
because they have a quickplay that lets you floosummon her on the opponent's turn
also, her actual effect to set 2 isn't locked at all

>>533741839
consider your ED a toolbox of extra effects and, depending on the deck, extenders like you described, it really depends on the deck but there's a reason there's a number of splashable 'extender' ED monsters like S:P, Zeus, Bagooska, etc. and that's that you always have these available to you
this is also why some decks have, over the years, been really hard to deal with, like Zoodiac years ago was unbearable because they had all the toolkit they'd ever need in their ED and could just put anything else in their main deck

I actually despise memento animals. hope they all fucking die

>>533741839
Depends on the deck, but yes. You almost always want monsters that will do something, not that are just stats on the board.
If ending my turn I would almost always trade in 3 monsters with 4k attack that do nothing for one monster with 2k attack which has a quick effect that messes with an opponent's card.

The basic aim of like 90% of decks is to do some combo that leaves you with more resources than you started out with, and which will let you stop the opponent from doing the same.

sometimes i forget i'm talking to literal children on this website. yeah sky tranny opening the full suite of board breakers and then summoning a second token after i managed to get rid of his last one with what little board i had remaining was totally my fault. i'm le bad player playing le bad deck! hey you know what? let's just put droplet and duster and lighning storm to 10 copies each! i mean come on you're not REALLY losing to these in a bo1 are you?????????????? FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

>>533745607
Stop acting like a baby.

>>533745097
Yeah because no youtuber has yet told them to use drone like that. The entire YGO community is full of sheeple. Someone could say scapegoat is good again and everyone would put it in their decks. Sickening playerbase.

>>533746197
No, it's just because it's not very good. People are aware of what Hornet Drones does. You can expect to see it make a comeback when Yummy releases because with that deck the payoff is worth it.

>>533745607

I really enjoy play magician because sometimes it can do some sick freestyle combos, but being choked by every single fucking handtrap at start suck dick.

Playing zarc magician make people scoop faster for some reason.

>>533747210
I would rather queue again and lose my master 1 rank up than sit through a pendslop match

Not zarc turbo, and dumb cunts sit through whole combo for some reason. As I couldn't drop negate board just to punish their stupidity further.

>>533747874
>and dumb cunts sit through whole combo for some reason
has it ever crossed your mind that people might want to actually play the game?

I played yu gi oh back in the gx days, shill be on this game

What will my experience be if I try to use an elemental hero deck just like back in those days?

>>533766482
There's nothing to shill, the game looks nothing like GX and you will have an awful time playing it without friends to play with with or /vg/ rooms or something.

If you still want to cope, Heroes is one of the single most expensive decks in the game and its rogue power level at best.

>>533766247
It would probably be extremely painful

>>533765979
Objectively wrong by every possible metric.

>>533766482
I love the game but I will antishill
The modern era plays nothing like GX its been like 20 years since GX
Heroes are a singular dek that use all the hero types (destiny, elemental, evil, Vision etc) in long ass combos with expensive cards just to make a floodgate on a dude. And its not good, even with stratos at 3.

i guess i can cope that i might be able to pull half of both if they're released in the same pack

Any other deck that just splashes in fiendsmith will continue to play unless they have a shit hand.

It's a link deck, you just spam bodies for free until you get your desired endboard. There is no such thing as a "complicated" link deck. Toiletpaper players are just retarded

>>533803631

Maliss isn't difficult to play, stop trying so hard. It's fucking braindead. Why do linkvomit players always end up spouting the same shit like this?
>"dude my deck is like so difficult, there's a million different lines and shit"
Maliss, like EVERY other link deck, is literally just about spamming bodies on the field and link climbing forever. Every single cyberse deck is like this. No matter how much you bitch and whine about Maliss being difficult (lmao), it's the exact same as every other cyberse deck. Cyberse shouldn't fucking exist, period

>>533804414
the biggest enemy to any Six Sam deck isn't any meta deck but the timer, the archaic way MD handles tokens kills any chance of it being as good as it should be, because 3 Gateway is honestly really, really stupid and SHOULD make this deck the most obnoxious thing ever

>dragonmaids
we're coming home...

>>533807010
?

>>533804937
it feels like the new support pushes them away from the FTK strategy into standard play (not as much as Gem-Knight's anti-FTK but still there), going first it sets up strong boards with its recursion and going second it has new tools that let it OTK, both methods are alot more durable to handtraps, and more than one Gate on the field means that it has so many tokens it can brute force through most

>>533806468

>>533805071

It is definitely not braindead, you can tell if someone is skilled with the deck or not. A lot of Maliss retards just use all their names as soon as possible and then don't have any resources for their next turn

>>533808293
the fuck did you get rid of to make space for all the target

>>533808293

T-the new support will save them right?

>>533808540
The Maliss extra deck is just 3 cards.

>>533809436
and if you managed to get to any of those without any other link, you might've as well solved the millennium puzzle

>>533809149
hey, at least you can make use of that dragon ruler stuff for tenpai

>>533808523
>hen don't have any resources for their next turn
White Binder banishing names and Ransom seaching another field spell gives all the follow up you need. Are you just pretending to be retarded or? Not to mention Chessy and Binder drawing cards in your turn 1 combo

Pure It's boring but you can get creative with the engine.

Yeah Ryzeal is extremely boring guys. Please play Maliss instead. The deck is sooooo difficult, there's so many lines to learn and you have to manage your resources properly. PS, I LOVE cyberse haha

I’m going to play Ryzeal because playing too much bug slop is really taxing I need a faster deck that’s basically Spright but good

>>533817734
There is multiple variants of same deck, yuya.dek have assload of cards.

>>533817895
cuz its really not crazy against Maliss. I might add it if its really that good against robot but its hard getting fucking space in the deck.

>>533817661
Same here, is it that efficient ? That would mean I'm taking a ED space for XYZ, maybe even 2.

>>533818762
It’s the most consistent way to get rid of detonator unfortunately. We all have to make concessions at some point when it comes to this game. Every meta a different story.

>>533818762
>cuz its really not crazy against Maliss.
This is offset by the fact that you're playing Maliss and so can Droll yourself to counter Maxx C.

>>533610312 (OP)
Which blind 2nd deck should I build? Tenpai, Sky striker or Ancient gear?

>negate Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer
>win
Woaw pend is so versatile

>>533820943
>Tenpai
Obviously the best of the three. Pick it if you want your opponent to scoop on your normal summon.
>Ancient Gear
It's Tenpai but not as good. Fortress is 75% of a Sangen summoning. Lots of 1 card OTKs but has to run too many bricks to be a truly great deck. It's legal in a lot of lower powered events where it will completely destroy the competition.
>Sky Striker
Very unique deck, the only going second control deck. It's the weakest out of the three for now but will become far better when their support releases in like 4 months. Also can be used as an engine in other decks like Tenpai or Yummy.

Personally I would go with Ancient Gear because I'm bored of Tenpai and then wait for the support for Striker.

>>533821074
Astrograph is at 3 and most lists use with chronograph. And dracoslayer can snowball really fast if you imperm or ash wrong thing.

What'll be better for Maliss once the new pack comes out? A bao + Gryphon with GWC set or Apo + Firewall with GWC set?

>>533821074
I don't remember playing pendulum sorcerer in my melodious supreme king deck but yeah sure

>>533822007
As long as Apo is legal she will always be the better endboard piece

*saves your format*
Say something nice about Ryzeal

>>533822226
I play lot of DDD and dumb cunts still wait for electrumite. Or just get desperate once they see I'm not going link shit right away.

>>533822007
I'd say Apo since she deals with anyone holding a hand trap for too long or a Nib, and both boards should win you the game regardless. Also floodgates like Gryphon will just randomly lose to more random shit than interruptions, like some GY effect that outs it, even with A Bao threatening to revive it. They're far more frustrating to use because control is out of your hand as to whether they out it.

PLANT DAY!!!! Building a terrarium for the caterpillar cocoons and repotting!!!

>>533817502
Ultimate slayer and droll are your best bets against Ryzeal. Droll is pretty helpful for Maliss anyway since it stops your opponent from drawing if you get roached. Ultimate Slayer does require having an XYZ in your extra which you might not want to do considering it's getting even tighter with A Bao a Qu. I wouldn't be surprised if people started running around with Xyz encore as a way to out detonator

>>533821767
>but will become far better when their support releases in like 4 months
What does the new support do? I know there's a link 2, but what else?

>>533808293
Would you even want to run Super poly when Ryzeal drops? Their endboard is just deadnader isn't it

>>533821767
I was gonna go tenpai, but yeah, fuck it ancient gear is cooler. It isn't going to be my main deck anyways.

>>533823695
No, usually it have another rank 4 around, abyss got banned for a reason.

Is HE streaming tonight or tomorrow?

>>533823695
>>533823946
If they get interrupted, their board is probably going to just be 1 det
but if no interrupts, ending on 1 det is still a option

>>533823572
The link 2 is straight up a search for a spell on summon instead of needing to do the Hayate into Kagari shit, so you can just search>use the spell>then use it again with Kagari. It also has a quick effect that lets you destroy something and tag out into Raye+Roze.
The other card is this.
>non target multicard bounce
>that also recycles all your links and spells
>also lets you link the Roze summoned by the link 2 into something on their turn to plus harder

They're just very solid cards that bolster to the current Sky Striker stuff.

Tomorrow brother. HE wants to showcase Ryzeal in HIS tournament

>>533824445
Neat. I'm hoping they'll rerun the alt arts when these get added, I'm ready to whale.

>>533824809
Seems likely. They'd only need to delay the Striker cards by 1-2 months from being "on schedule" to align with the anniversary.

I feel like handtraps are the biggest mistake in yugioh, like we have turns on my reason, you shouldn't be able to play on my turn
>"B-But I want interaction!"
Sure, then interact with me on your turn
>"B-But going first would be too strong!"
That's what boardbreakers are for, to help with going second
The game would be way more fun without handtraps

Do I build Swordsoul, White Forest, or Resonators for the synchro event?

>Lose the coin toss
>See other guy is playing Mayakashi
>Pop Maxx C for some free draws
>End up drawing my entire deck into my hand and decking out when my turn came around.
I wish him well, because that shit was spectacular to witness.

>>533826147
None of the above. Build Six Samurai if you want to do well

>>533797048
This deck being board nuke turbo is honestly too funny, KONMAI did it justice both mechanically and thematically, since these cartoony looking dinosaurs were the ones that single handedly eradicated the second world ending threat (the literal vampire jews, don't even remember their fucking names) in duel terminal, and they did so by literally blowing themselves up. And it's genuinely less bricky than dinosaur, as a single stigo leads to double astero, which means 2 solemn strikes and 3 fucking board wipes, and then on the crackback you can summon UCT and either of the angry R4NK dinos that do stuff in the BP to kill. I just hope they don't tax it too hard because it's a sub $50 deck irl.

>>533826052
you're stupid af lmao

>>533826296
>Six Sam without their Link-2
I wouldn't recommend that

>>533826052
I.................... DISAGREE
I don't really view them as all that different to setting generic traps in classic yugioh. The game has been condensed to fewer turns so now the traps can be used earlier to match everything else being done quicker.
the biggest issue with them is the power creep arms-race between combos and hand traps but let's be real, power creep was going to happen regardless

>>533826195
>using maxx c early against mayakashi

>>533826361
>>533826550
Why are you responding to such obvious bait?

>>533826147
Don't build White Forest unless they surprise release their secret pack tonight. But they'd only do that if they release the support which would've been announced.
I'd do Resonators. Especially if you don't already have the Swordsoul structure deck. Pure SS is pretty bad and Tenyis are heavily nerfed without links.

>>533826052
Only being able to do stuff on your turn is HS, which is even more solitaire

>>533826407
Gate is coming back to 3. Simply open it

How good are zombie decks? I've been tempted to build a zombie pile for a while since it's not too expensive and it looks fun but I'm not sure if it's worth investing in one

>>533826147
Unless they drop a secret pack with white forest cards then go with resonators. Swordsoul is bad pure and you can't use Tenyi cards

>he can setup the field from the deck so fuck droll
>he will always end on AT LEAST detonator + field spell
What the fuck is this shit ??? So no matter what I've to deal with one negate and 3 pop ? What deck can handle that going second ?

>>533826765
it only took like 5 seconds to call someone stupid

>>533827250
as a zombie player, not very, but it can do funny things, the new Delta field spell actually helps Eldlich plays a lot, and most Zombie Piles will have Eldlich tech in it because it synergizes so well, no matter what it's deceptively expensive depending on the variant, you'll need at least one Balerdroch, and depending on what type you go (Eldlich, Vampires, Mayakashi, PUNK, etc.) you'll need to go into those secret packs to finish them up

>>533827609
Sup Tim. I didn't know you posted here lol

I would like to thank konmai for this event just because it reminded people why merrli is banned and so many tear names are hit, people don't even play optimized lists with all the URs needed and it's already infuriatingly broken, shitting out windas and graphas on your turn before you do anything significant

>>533827609
I hate how decks nowaday set directly from deck
Makes cards like ash and droll useless

>>533827250
They got several great cards in SUDA and it still wasn't enough, they still die if their uni-zombie gets negated, and if you're going to run whorus/T.R.O.O.N. cards then you might as well not play zombie at all. Vulcarrion would be a CaC if chaos ruler FREE HER were legal.

>>533827250
Not very. They have some good payoffs, Balerdroch+Zombie World is still great, and Yuki Onna is insane vs Maliss, but the zombie engine was really lacking even before the modern age of 1-card starters, and hasn't gotten much better.
You can use alternative engines like PUNK, Horus, and Goblins to help set up Zombie stuff but it's still not great.

>>533827609
Who the fuck said Ryzeal is a simple deck???

>Just successfully wasted literally 1 hour of my Branded-Bystial 60-card sloppile opp's time
>Opp likely surrendered because he was running out of time and cards

>>533829179
It's a pretty simple deck.

wait when did i get 3 fenrir

>>533829179
what the fuck do you even play for this shit to look complicated? normal summon barrier statue and set 4? lel

>>533829547
>>533829674
Fuck off. Not everyone no life's this shit game

>>533829803
Trying too hard.

>>533827250
Not great but not terrible either. With how many archetypes nowadays benefit from having stuff in the graveyard, the while Zombie theme isn't ass special as it once was but still reasonably fun.
Eldlich is the best zombie deck atm with the new and upcoming support it's on the up.
Skull Servant is fun and simple but is week to hand traps and it'll likely be a year before the latest TCG support makes it to master duel. Most wins with them are people not knowing what your trying to do before it's too late.
Vampires are terrible on their own but OK when you mix them with other zombie archetypes
Zombie World is best played as just an engine insteqd of a whole deck lime the structure deck trys to do since like most decks that are focused on a field spell if you lose that your screwed.
It's been a while since I played Shiranui it's pretty slow from what I recall
Mayakashi takes time to pick up speed and sadly you'll usually get stopped early on before you can finish your long combo.

Far from competitive Zombie decks are fun overall if you able to get your plays off. It helps that few people expect to run into a zombie deck nowadays so they aren't prepared outside of the standard hand traps.

After playing against full power Tears in the event, I can say I'm glad I missed it when it was relevant.
Who the fuck at Konmai was retarded enough to think it was a good idea to have a deck that can set up a full board with floodgates and negates on your opp's turn 1?

I am free from ever having to play Cook ever again.
When the fuck are you going to add Mystic Mine for these events, Konami?

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT
cant post images because im range banned

>>533828079
That’s why I think Droll should eventually get axed.
It’s going to end up only hurting rogue decks.

>Open 100 legacy packs
>Get only one UR
>It's a non-ER royal rare I have no use for

And fuck you too, Konami.

>>533833029
I gotchu

>>533833257
That's where Droll has been for 99% of MD's lifespan. And as a result nobody really played the card until the last couple metas. It's fine that there are mediocre cards that nobody plays that counter bad decks. That way when a good deck releases that's weak to it, the counter will be available.

If you're a rogue deck player you have to be flexible and choose your deck based on what the current meta is. If you're pet-decking a rogue deck, then you should just be accepting that sometimes the meta won't be kind to you.

GoblinGODs… the meta will be ours soon….

>>533833714
How? Detatching 1 doesn't do anything.

odds orcust and dmaids are secretly in the pack, like the punk cards?

>>533835256
Both sound like the sorts of things they'd want to announce.

Is Seiscore on suicide watch yet? How is he coping with Deadnader making pends unplayable?

This month's event is Duelist Cup, right?

>>533835418
they didn't announce punk, in the same set

what do I play if I don't wanna touch ryslop

>>533836486
Hmmmmmm, Scareclaw.

>>533835832
synchro cup... which is a duelist cup but only for synchro decks

>>533613274
don't forget white duston.

>>533836609
Why do I never see scareclaw? Triheart is kind of a faggot to deal with.

>>533837431
people play scareclaw. the issue is that playing it as an engine to make mannadium is way more optimal than playing pure.

>>533837431
He's outed by any link spot removal which is the most common toolbox type. Of course you won't always only have to deal with 1 Triheart, and Twinsaw is likely to be there.

No fuck you maliss troon I will slap you with chudra and you will like it. Get your waifu slop deck out of my game.

>>533837945
thanks for the tip, yacine
hopefully your next tournament goes well, so your hair plugs can survive longer

>>533837428
this is actually a good tech option because of primite. you could also run la creatura in the jar instead, but it's less optimal.

>>533817502
>added 2 effect veiler
>removed one chessy and one hare
>swaped one baldrake for druiswurm
I'll play with this for now, don't want or find the space for Ultimate slayer and/or droplet. And no i'm not interested in droll... yet.

Have to think about the ED too. Will remove knightmare phoenix and cerberus. Dharc might take the exit too if I keep never using it.

guys is ash still worth playing at 3

>>533728727
holy sovl

>>533838807
Dipity is better than White Duston because it's the right level for Chaos Angel or rank 4s(nobody runs these). 1k defense almost never comes up.

I hate that I had no idea how good of an engine this stupid card would be so I didn't pull for it at the time.

>>533839631
yes

>>533833385

Handtraps ruined modern yugioh. Game is more fun when you can actually play your crazy off the wall combo pile

>>533841092
If you find solitaire fun then just play against AI.

>>533840084
it was the fiendsmith pack and I got them/exodia just for trying to get the FS shit

>>533841278
Crazy negate boards aren't even hard to break you guys just suck without hand trannies there is:DRNM, Super poly, Droplets, kaijus, lava golem and ra balls. Genuine skill issue.

>>533841294
The worst part is I had one and dusted it because I thought it would be worthless lmao. It's 100% my own fault.

>herotranny opponent
>have evenly in my hand so i decide i'm just going to alt tab and then make him seethe next turn
>get negated by this "nigger supremacy" card
what the fuck is this??? yeah let's take one of the gayest decks in the game and just...make it gayer! bravo konami..i hope every homo who plays hero kills themselves.

>>533834105
It's less that Goblins are going to destroy Ryzeal or anything, it's just that this is gonna be the first XYZ meta since Goblins released. They missed Purrely format by like a year
Nice to finally get to use the little bonus effects you get when your opponent is on XYZ too

Based hero player killing this >>533842021 bitch.

>>533841461
I find it funny that the math has been done and proven board breakers win games more often than handtraps but people still insist on handtraps.

>>533842021
>don't read
>get anally annihilated by a dogshit deck

>>533842396
This is good bait. That video was funny.

>>533842512
How is it bait that video was literally correct.

>maliss troon refuses to toggle off at all with march hare just to keep me thinking what he has
kys faggot

>>533842396
You have to realize yugioh players just watch joshua schimdt or some other jew tuber and don't engage in any critical thinking. Its why you get a bunch of shitters netdecking a top ycs deck but still get shit on in the DB ladder.

Case and point. >>533842512

honestly i just don't run any handtraps or board breakers. i've realized that i have a sub-50% win rate going second anyway so i've decided to go all gas in all of my decks to ensure i win every single time i go first. if i lose the coin toss i simply skip, odds are the result would've been the same with handtraps/boardbreakers anyway.

>>533843237
>you don't agree with a youtube video that gave me my opinion.... SO YOU MUST GET ALL YOUR OPINION FROM OTHER YOUTUBERS
holy zoomer

>>533843368
You’re unironically just bad.

>>533843237
I'll have you know that I get my opinions straight from one of the world champions and also MDM and also based on vibes and also I'm a shitty plat tier player anyways that doesn't try.

>>533843475
my odds are not abnormal. every single time we get stats from duelist cup/wcs it shows going second has a sub-50% win rate. simple reality is that you're likely to lose going second whether you have cards to counter it or not.
conversely, going first usually averages around a 60% win rate, which can be improved if you run all gas.
in a game like this especially the downsides are very small, as getting to the highest rank is a matter of time. you simply play enough and you'll win enough coin tosses.

>>533843415
Sir I am a pojoboomer and I get my takes from the best source. Pojo shitposts.

Haven't played the game in years, should I just hop on and start making a Maliss deck? It's fun right?

>>533843835
This is the way yugioh has always been and always will be stun lab trannies need not apply. Hand traps aren't even fun to play against and drawing them feels horrible.

>>533844271
cheshire sex

>>533844271
it's mathmech but for trannies. if you enjoyed mathmech then yes it's fun.

why the fuck is every good pot card limited or banned this shit is so retarded. my honest pet decks need that draw power.

>just play zero handtrap bro
>FTK and GY effects just don't exist
fuck off
>>533844273
drolling or floodgating an ftkfaggot is always funny

>>533845460
Yeah sometimes it's a loss, oh well. Just go to the next game. All gas is a stupid build style in games where losing really matters but this isn't one of them. Just keep playing until you get enough coin toss wins to climb. It's the same philosophy as actual FTK decks and those do well enough for people to get to M1 with them every month.

What happened to Ritual Beasts?

>>533846114
all the RB players died of old age, trying to finish their turn 1

>>533833258
why is there zero smut of her

>>533846114
the great Lancea extinction event took care of them

Recently dusted off the old zombie pile and I'm starting to agree with the memento guys, the timer is too short. They need to put it back to what it used to be. God I used to be able to do a full spyral turn and still have like 2 minutes on the clock. I can only imagine anyone still playing spyral is playing a bomb defusing simulator now.

>open Skull Invitation tryout pack
>get alt art Black Rose Dragon and Crimson Dragon extra copy

>>533842021

>>533839976
that's fair. white duston is a one for one target too though.

>>533833339
That's probably the most helpful and informative question in the entirety of 20 quizzes they produced with branded being a relevant deck for a long time and it teaches you difference between negating activation and negating effect.

>>533833339
if ash blossom didn't work with branded lost on the field branded would be tier 0
