HE won.

>>537948240
Here you go anon, I'll let you stare at my royal white since you didn't get any

>>537950301 (OP)
I really hope they do what they've been doing and put the Gem-Knight support onto its secret pack as soon as it drops, feels like a really good thing they've been doing

>>537950301 (OP)
Master Diamond is such a fucking cool card. One of the best examples of a fucking BOSS monster in the entire series.

>>537950878
ok but what does it actually do though
looks like a stat stick only

>>537952898
you use it to copy the effects of other Fusions you've cycled through, before the new support this is how you would FTK people by copying Lady Lapis Lazuli's effect

>>537950301 (OP)
no one wanted that

>>537952898
He copies effects, most notoriously Lapis Lazuli's burn effect
Lapis Lazuli is a soft OPT so you cycle her twice and use Master Diamond's copy to FTK
>>537953907
t. got humbled by THE MASTER

when are we getting more branded support

is it a black goat meta?
>discard from your hand, declare detonator
>discard from your hand, declare white binder

>>537954102
copies gem-knight fusion***** effects
gem-knight only and you have to banish the target from your GY

>>537954151
the structure deck comes out next month with 2 or 3 new cards

>>537954202
yes floodgates are always good

>>537954202
Well, going first, its good

>>537954764
if your deck can discard it it's good too

so is tearlament with the new gem knights gonna be good or is it just cope

>>537954953
good second too*

>>537954202
>declare white binder
useless cause this card exists

>>537955492
>mirrorjade at home

>>537950301 (OP)
Would gem knights actually be good or is it another deck that dies to the endless Maliss Shilling.

Decks for this feel?

>>537956551
Swordsoul

>>537955594
>dodge targeting + can be immune to negates + non-target banish any type of card every turn + OTK alone + perfect synergy with Accesscode + recycle cards trapped in banishment
>Mirrorjade
retard.

>>537956551
Traptrix

>>537956551
floo

reminder that ryzeal is a shit deck that wouldn't even be tiered without the floodgates

>>537957371
I've yet to see a floodgate build of the deck.

The most I've seen is it mixed with Labrynth

>>537957851
>lancea
>droll
>bagooska
all are common are there for most of the builds. the deck is pure fucking garbage without them.

>>537950301 (OP)
Do malice decks/combos REQUIRE non malice links to get to an endboard?

>lancea
all you can do, ryzeal subhuman.

When

>>537958735
I thought maliss endboard is firewall dragon?

it's fucking ridiculous. the deck can do absolutely nothing but activate droll or maxx c or make bagooska

>>537960347
I don't mean the board at end of turn. I mean the steps to get there, do I absolutely need the code talkers, kuribohs, etc?

>>537961658
yeah whatever helps you shit out link materials like link decoder/splash mage etc

Nice game, Konami.

>>537962025
just deck him out

>>537962145
I don't think you can deck someone out using Maliss.

>>537962025
just pass turn and hope he bricked. fuck no you're not getting 3 draws from me

>>537962928
he's drawing 3 for every special summon
that's 19 summons to deck out an opponent who started with a 60 card deck
or 12 against a 40 card deck
really not that many

Do we have Arcana Force list from worlds or no?

>>537964214
you don't know how those cards work

>>537964691
YOU don't know how the GAME works
SOMETIMES you have to CHANGE PLANS ON THE FLY and take advantage of a different win condition than originally intended
A COWARD would hard pass into a normal summon robina
A TRUE DUELIST would continue playing and simply win regardless
Nibiru? doesn't exist
other handtraps? who cares it's 2025
boardbreakers? that means they don't have handtraps and you're free to summon a gorillion more times
JUST WIN
STOP BEING A COWARD
JUST WIN

stop having a melty

Didn't everyone who pulled Ryzeal brick their accounts? It's pretty average in the yummy and vanquish soul meta.

>>537966213
>It's pretty average in the yummy and vanquish soul meta.
yummy and VS won't come to MD for another 6 months or so

>lose flip
>opp goes
>ryzeal
>droll them

>end turn

>make play
>they maxx c
>ash it
>opp concedes

yeah im thinking, this game sucks

>>537966213
Maybe you should take a long look at the banlist differences

How fun is Kashtira?

ryzeal is such a boring fucking deck

when's mitsurugi?

>>537967076
negative fun levels since diablosis got banned

>>537962025
>just shotgunning them all
Probably a bad player and is begging to be shut down by nothing but hand traps by starting his turn with a half-sized hand.

i am tired of this fraud

>>537954329
will it be the same like the one they’re offering for free rn or something totally new

will Branded be playable pure again with the new support or is it perma doomed for 60 card slop piles

>>537969461
>branded
>slop
branded exclusively runs branded cards retard

When is hero support?

>>537970287
Next year probably

>>537969461
playing 40 is probably not going to happen

>>537959706
>confirmed to not be real women

What did they mean by this?

>>537971138
>mom i posted it again

imma play 11 maxx c gem knight and otk you with the knights that one dyke from arc v played who shun countered her epic lapis by banishing a bird i forget and then yuzu killed her then she gave her that useless as fuck flower card shes a big jobber almost as bad at yuto dying like 10 episodes in lmao

>>537971351
Why are you going to play the bad charmies?

>>537971351
Everyone's on droll rn (right now)

Kek. I was so surprised when he suddenly summoned Duo Drive.

>>537971576
Usually I'd expect them to go into Merrymaker but Duo Drive makes a lot of sense.

>>537971475
its funny but i only have 2 of the cats and i wont craft a third

I find Ryzeal Mitsurugi interesting but not pure Ryzeal. Convince me to open Ryzeal packs.

>>537972941
No.

>>537971138
look like dual wielding swords to me?

>>537971351
shut up, she's yuzu's love interest cum rival

Imagine master duel but with actual random draws.

>>537974079
imagine master duel but the card that has 95%+ playrate since release is banned

>>537969279
no, he means structure deck in ocg paper, with some new cards added, so it will be a year for master duel unless we get simultaneous release (unlikely but kmoney does love branded so who knows)

>imagine master duel but with skills and only 3 monster and s/t zones
perfect

>>537974875
why would they ban ash blossom
especially after releasing the feet alt

>>537975771
go back to your containment thread

I want 7 monster zones. And 7 spell or trap zones. And the ability to put pendulum scales anywhere.

I want Pendulum summon to no longer restricted by Link

Lmao

what in the fuck?

>>537979286
Strikers have been sitting at something like like 3rd to 5th best deck in the OCG for 4 months now.

>>537979826
what the fuck changed? The only card I can see that is new is Lemnisgate!

>>537979981
zero and lamnis gate are good

>>537979981
This too and a new link 1. Lemnis and the link 2 are very good cards in a deck that already had some extremely powerful cards and a well-fleshed out gameplan.

>>537980265
while this is obviously fucking good I don't see how this is enough juice to burst through modern endboards but I guess I will when it comes to master duel

>>537980476
Striker already has the ability to break boards reasonably well which is a big part of why Striker Tenpai exists. The issue with pure Striker in MD is that modern decks set up a ton of followup so when you barely break through their board they're easily able to deal with the set Widow Anchor+Shark Cannon+Raye in GY.
The new stuff lets them both set up more interruption to deal with the followup turn and more recursion for themselves beyond just relying on the opponent letting you use Raye's GY effect to add back Engage on their turn.

Also this card+MST has become standard in the OCG. Obviously any bonus draw power given to Sky Strikers is a big deal since I'm sure we've all had situations where you have them down to one card and suddenly they go Talents draw 2>Upstart>Engage>Engage>Upstart>Engage>Kagari>Engage

i downloaded duel links for something to do because i was bored with maliss meta and started to play the gay twink catboy clown deck in rush duel and am actually having fun

>>537981196
>allure for spells but it doesn't banish
kinda fucked up

I LOVE RAYE

>>537981325
For quick plays only. The only non-Magnifistorm decks that can justify it are Sky Striker and Runick. And Sky Striker only really wants to use it because it gets more spells in GY and because of how card draw spirals out of control in that deck.
Cards like Allure or Trade In just aren't very good in general without some special synergy with your deck.
And aiming to discard your whole hand isn't generally something you actually want to do.

>>537948240
>spent 4 craft try to get a binder royal
>spent 1500 sr dust on ransom and still got nothing
This game is a joke sometimes.

Mating Pressing Purrely...

this field spell card just being able to choose what it wants to negate is so stupid

>>537977304
bagooska solos

So I tried Luka's Maliss deck instead of my own and just smoked everyone. And now I have a kitty.

>playing 3 games for ONE pack
what do they think i am a chink mining for lithium?

I tried playing malice but it was too hard so I dismantled it

>>537983416
Assuming the opponent has a light as material on the Duodrive or in his GY, he can link Atrii+Druis off for SP and use Druis to out the Bagooska, then full combo with Oath.
But that loses to one hand trap.

>>537982141
it's 1% chance, 50 times isn't even 50/50 yet

>>537984004
>Assuming the opponent has a light as material on the Duodrive or in his GY, he can link Atrii+Druis off for SP and use Druis to out the Bagooska, then full combo with Oath.
There was an Aggregator in GY so that's basically what happened and he scooped as I set Primera since he had no responses. GG bagooskazeal.

>>537966512
It's definitely not that far away

>>537984929
K9 is at best in december, so yes, dtail is 4-6 months away too

>>537983758
I just picked the ryzeal pack and got those 3 wins easily

Does the new support just turn White Forest into another Crimson Dragon/Blazar turbo deck?

>>537986046
No, why would it do that?

>>537985003
Alliance insight is almost done. There's literally only one archetype left in the set and then Duelist's Advance is up around the corner.

I'm saying 2 to 3 months at best.

>Maxx C
>effectively stops your opponent from having a turn
>BAN THIS CARD RIGHT NOW I NEED TO COOOOOOOOOMBO!!!

>Apollousa
>effectively stops your opponent from having a turn
>LE HECKIN BASED AND FAIR CARD STOP WHINING

>>537986965
I think those cards are somewhat different.

>>537986234
You have easy level 12 access, it seems soulless enough that OCG would've tried it.

>>537987213
So what's your plan then? To run a Centurion package like any deck that makes level 8/12 synchros can do? but basically none of them do it because it's not actually good To just waste a ton of material on Legatia+Crimson Dragon to get 1 draw+1 negate?

>saw someone playing actual Harpies

how the fuck does these even works against snake-eyes, much less maliss ryzeal

>>537989542
Have you considered setting up a board of interruptions then using it against their attempt to set up a board?

>>537989603
that requires me going first
t. someone with 17-streak of losing the coinflip

>>537989675
Flip heads then you retard.

thanks konami

>>537986965
Imagine if we banned both

>>537969626
yeah branded cards like grass
faggot

metaltronus is such a garbage card, why did that luka dude even use it?

it's been 5 games in a row where i lose the coinflip and opponent called by the only handtrap i got

>>537996572
6 games in a row

>>537997214
7 games in a row

>>537995757
Its good in the Maliss mirror

>playing altergeist

>activate evenly against him
>he chooses to keep the detonator
>imperm it
>go full combo with altergeist then steal his detonator with adminia
>he scoops when I use his own detonator against him
nice tier 1 deck, fag.

>>538003670
Opening Evenly+Imperm+Full combo (which is a two card combo at minimum) doesn't make the deck good anon
>t.Altergeist player

>2 hours to rank up from gold V to gold II
i'm ngmi

>>538004248
I mean it still felt good to break his board
also activating evenly/imperm from hand makes multifaker by itself into full combo

>>538003670
>>538004974
once eclipse twins releases even your 3-4 card combo won't break that board kek

>>538003670
for me it's
>playing madolche
>go second against ryzeal
>open fuwa + maxx c + imperm + all my one card sharters
>he scoops when I drew the outs and he didn't
nice tier 1 deck, fag

>playing appliancer vs maliss

>can summon colossus at least
>allure into discard all card instead
but why

>>538005337
a cuck like you wouldn't get it

why are people crying about maliss it dies to raigeki

>>538006038
what
that's precisely one of things it doesn't die to whatsoever

>droll

>another droll
>another called by
real funny beb

>>538006038
How is Silver

why are people crying about _______ it dies to [custom brick]
just add every out to your deck and always draw the one you need in that specific matchup

>>537996572
>>537997214
>>537997657
happened to me as well
one chinese opponent even had double called by

thank you i suppose

>win coin toss after 7 straight losses
>finally win
>chinese opponent conveniently loses connection
nice

What is your pet archetype?

>>538020076
ashened, but that's because i haven't been able to make them work. i saw a duel live where a player used embers and king to make garunix eternity

I while back I was really burned on the game, dismantled most of my shit to try out shitty decks for fun thinking I wasn't coming back, now I'm coming back to it and my account is in an awful state.
I still have most generic staples, and can craft some URs, but the SRs are killing me. I'm thinking about starting a new account for the newbie freebies.

>>538020620
>SRs are killing me
but SRs basically free though...

>>538020935
>replying to an actual non-white

>>538021132
?

>>538020935
no they aren't
>>538020620
play a while and you will get enough gems to pull for a new deck and balance your account. and the pass is in 20 days

Tryout duel prize. I dont play any of this shit so its dust.

>>538020076
Myutants
They're not even that far from being good they just go -50 on every effect activation. A couple custom cards could fix them right up.

>>538022935
imagine having 6 copies of e-tele and still ends up shit

>>538020076
Would plunder patrol be considered pet tier? I played them a little in the theme chronicles and i quite liked them. But i felt the constant discarding really hurt their plan

>>538023408
i think their rogue tier

>>538023315
the new Serene Psychic Witch is also an etele for any Myutant, so that's 9 eletes for your 6 starter monsters
starters aren't really the issue
the problem is your endboard isn't strong enough to end the game turn 2 like a combo deck would, but is also so hostile to your own follow up that it can't be a solid midrange/grindy deck either

>>538022935
Have you tried myutant metaphys?

>>537950301 (OP)
I got lucky with the ryzeal pack, so i have 10k gems saved up, do i spend some of them on heraldic, or do i build maliss instead, since the ignister cards are also in the upcoming pack?
>why do you want to build maliss when you already own ryzeal
Because this deck is bricky as all fuck, 90% of my hands consist of 4 handtraps and a single starter, which gets handtrapped, leaving me with no other choice than to pass turn. The few times i happen to also draw TTT, i end up drawing into more fucking useless handtraps anyway. I literally can't even go bagooska pass because fuwalos almost never fucking appears in my hand, and when he does it's with the one ryzeal name that needs specifically another ryzeal on field/GY. Tenpai at """full""" power somehow felt less bricky.

>>538020076
Argostars
my main archetype is Dark World

>>538020076
Tanks

>get ash'd on ns quem and have no other play
>activate thrust and set black goat
>it's blue eyes
>declare blue eyes
>make mudragon and don't let him target any of his monsters
>can't access blue eyes in anyway and all his cards are dead
>he scoops
this was a pretty fucking fun win

>>538021723
>no they aren't
on average, you'd get 6 SRs per 10-pack pull
that's ~500 gems per 30 SRs dust
iirc, you start with 10k-ish gems, and you get ~8k gems per month from daily+event+ranked
so after just a month, with average luck, you should be able to hard craft almost a full deck worth of SRs (36 cards)

thoughts on mind crush as a thrust target

>>538029603
>mind crush
i wish we coulda used this dude instead

>>538029603
I do this but with Fiend Comedian

I will dismantle my entire account to royal out the support

>>538025891
Argostars seem like a fun archetype, but I have never tried them. Are you running them with Fiendsmith?

>>538020076
Amazons
why the fuck haven't they added their cards back to their secret pack yet

>>538031139
serena best

why is the worst deck ever fucking created, snake eyes fire king, still viable? why can't you just kill a fucking deck

>>538031421
I do
when you don't draw any starters and need to put counters on "That's 10!" to start playing, you need an engine that has a lot of activations and doesn't take up too much main deck space
it is also good bait for hand traps so Adra doesn't get negated

that fucking whale reboring masqureena is the most bullshit thing ever fucking conceived. I funking hate those two cards beyond believe

one fucking bystial in my hand and I would have won just fucking one

>>538020076
Where do i even begin?
>literally no synergy with anything, spright works with live troon because the live troon cards have real effects, normal summoning any nephthys name is always a waste
>diviner can can search conductor/rebirth just fine, but none of the fairies she can summon when tributed do anything for the deck (besides being an extra body)
>conductor generates enough bodies for a link that searches another ritual and adds back the ritual spell from grave, BUT the ritual needs to pop your cards to pop an equal amount of the opponent's cards
>because cerulean needs to destroy nephthys cards specifically, you can't really cut back on the nephthys names despite their uselessness
>ZERO turn one plays, unless arc light pass is your dream board
>can't really run a bunch of handtraps/boardbreakers because the deck has nothing but 2-3 card combos
>the OTK relies on you being able to completely wipe the opponent's field with the cards you pop with cerulean because it, sacred and princess is just enough damage to kill on a empty field (8100)
Its only saving graces are being one of the most aesthetically pleasing archetypes ever made (if you don't like blue-eyed, dark-skinned women you're a faggot) and being absurdly cheap, every card but diviner is pennies, even in MD the only UR cards you'll need are diviner and princess, both generically useful.

>>538034143
what

Goblins have an ton of good spells/traps for a deck that only gets 1 spell/trap search in its entire combo
I hope the next goblin guy lets you get the traps in play

>Tryout event
>Normally play stun, so I usually just alt-tab and watch Youtube if I go second rather than watch opp play solitaire
>Randomly pick a deck and press whatever glows like a monkey
>Get event done in like 20 minutes
I have no idea how to play my deck and thankfully my opps don't seem to do it either.
How good is this deck normally?

I got the 3 wins so fucking quickly and I never even played the deck before. It really is for retards.

>>538047734
>Implying this isn't just better and TCG paper niggers are diaper wearing FAGGOTS!

>jurrac's gameplan is to blow up the field 3 times and then having no follow up the next turn
epic deck

>>538041372
ackshully they're all her servants

We need more handtraps that protect the turn 1 player like Droll and Ash.

>>538047986
Ryzeal user are downplaying faggot. I NS dormouse and imperm detonator, he still could detach Aggreg to cuck me from Dorm effect. Completely broken shit.

>>538049564
>talents is almost 60%
yeah dude I love being handripped when I try to handtrap my opponent and they go full combo anyway

>>538050290
i fucking love slicer

>>538050716
It saved my ass a bunch of times during the last Theme Chronicle. Made me wanna play more going 2nd decks just to run it

>>538050814
Laundry is a loli and Lo is with her here.
Therefore Lo is a loli as well.

>>538050994

>>538051161
No because they can't even begin to fathom how to make a good going 2nd deck in the first place without turning off all interaction entirely

>lose coin toss 4 times in a row
>every opponent opened called by, maxx c ash and droll
ahh I almost forgot why I only play going second decks

>>538050994
same! my phantasm deck has been using the fuck out of it since theme chronicle
using it in Floo too, I don't really have a going 2nd deck for it..

>>538051902
dishonest deck

>>538052003
every deck that's good is

>>538052136
your isn't good it's just dishonest

>>538052003
It's fucking funny watching meta like ryzeal and maliss scoop to tokens and normal monsters and I will never stop enjoying it

Who the fuck designs cards like this
I want to rip their skin off (in Tag Force)

>>538063150
For that exact reaction ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I might regenesis just for fucking fun!

if you don't use your deck's accessories and try to camouflage what you are playing you are a fucking PUSSY

My favorite regenesis monster

>>538063150
Just go to main phase 2.

>that awful looking utopic card ryzeal uses is a permanent negate
I keep underestimating cards because they just really look like shit

when a mission says "1 day left" that's actually 1 day+any amount of hours, right? when there's actually 24 hours left it'll say 23 hours left

>>538056819
I understand Chimera lines now and I love her

>>538065984
is the deck even fun? I'm reading the cards and it seems straight up unplayable. do you use a supplemental engine or something?

>>538067973
Yes.

>>538039770
>cross-out banish feather duster

they should reduce the timer on this dogshit event to a quarter of what it normally is

This event sucks fucking ass, dawg.

>7 coin flip losses in a row
why even bother letting me press the queue button
just ban me from the event

>>538073564
I got to play Memento for the first time and really liked it so I guess it wasn't too bad for me, if anything I see it as a trial of some decks I had interest in
Ritual Beasts feels like it sticks out like a sore thumb in this event though, swear to god I forget that deck exists half the time

>Bagooska is the only card giving the deck any value
how sure are we that Ryzeal is a top tier deck?

>>538074260
Because the cards are very good.

>>538074436
Bagooska is what's very good

>>538074531
Bagooska is good, yeah.

>>538074260
Why do you keep saying this?

>>538074661
>37% of the game is Ryzeal
>37% of the game is just people stalling with Bagooska

Your little knight? Your codbreaker virus?

wow ryzeal is wayy too easy to use

why couldn't i sauravis dryton mu? it summoned and activated its effect, and the only prompt was to negate with skull guardian

>>538075492
oh, it was because i fucking lancea'd goddamnit

>>538075492
don't know nigga post boardstate or replay or something

would it be stupid to dig for Maliss right now?
having SO MUCH fun with the loaner deck but I only have 10000 gems
judging by the TCG/OCG they’re going to stay relevant for months unless a secret banlist kills them

>>538076357
It's like 50/50. We're approaching the point where they're extremely likely to hit it but also it survived in OCG so it is likely to survive here. Personally I just pulled for 1-ofs of the URs with my excess gems to get banlist refunds.

>>538076357
it will get some meaningless hit just to force you to pull for ignister but the deck isn't going anywhere

>>538072646
why should i when i can read them mid duel and farm wins from impatient shitters?

This tryout duel is disgusting

>First opponent: I maxx c-ed him and he folded instanly
>Second opponent: I got maxx c-ed but I drolled myself and he conceded.
>Third Opponent: Charmies, You know the drill.

I didn't to play a single match. I got ex-ryzel from a free pack so it is all good.

Browsing cards and loosely formulating the idea for a deck is more fun than actually building decks or playing the game

>>538077781
sounds pretty accurate to the championships the event is based on
this is just an ass format

>>538078205
Yeah, this format is ass.

In the second game, I had star + ex + ice, and I did it all wrong. If my opponent was a bit more perceptive, he should have waited because I misplayed a ton.

>>538077781
This is 2025 yugioh, you put in a fuckton of irrelevant cards and play the Maxxcharmy and friends mini game to decide who wins

>a ryzeal shitter is playing denko sekka
I'm embarrassed. I swear to god I just get second hand embarrassment from all the shit they pull.

Worthless fucking Ryzeal shitter. Without floodgates the deck is a 0. Wouldn't even be rogue. Wouldn't even be functional.

can't wait for a year and a half from now when malpiss an dryzeal are gutted :^)

>>538076640
>>538076727

Isn't it still a really good deck, if it weren't for lancea?

>draw 2 lancea against ryzeal and lose
can we just ban this fucking nigger cyberse deck already?

>>538082197
its ok. Its just the good decks are so much better than it it really cant compete. That duel was pretty fun since I actually got to contact fuse my face down monsters after he booked me which isn't something that ever fucking comes out outside ritual beasts

>>538082329
I'll trade you. We ban ryzeal totally honest rank 4 for lancea going to 0 as well
no I do not play maliss

>>538082479
kill yourself nigger

could we get some new straightforward midrange decks
the meandering banish a card bring a card back 50 million restrictions slowly assemble a board for 30 minutes maliss shit is too hard for my retard brain
and ryzeal isnt much better

>>538083063
thats literally ryzeal though

>>538081393
I pulled 7 partisans, 2 mantis and 2 liberators
0 dormouse tho ;)

>>538083153
maybe im just getting too old for yugioh

if ryzeal is too difficult for you then you might not be fit to operate a computer or smartphone anyway

look man those gay robots all look the same and have a lot of words on them

>>538084493
>lot of words on them
They basically all just say "special summon itself for free and search the next guy who will also special summon himself for free"
Seriously this is the easiest deck Konami have released in like a decade and nothing else they release after will be easier than this

>and half of them don't require you to have a monster still on field to special

>>538003670
Ryzeal is a fair deck that could be beaten by regular Tenpai, it is only good against Maliss because it is a one card sharter and 4 hand craps.
How does Altergeist win against Maliss going second?

>>538085101
>speed 1 negate

I don't want to play the tranny deck but I am possibly the only guy without Maliss
I pulled 1 of each UR.
Should I go for it? When does this piece of shit deck falls out the meta?

>>538085637
it's still somewhat kind of rogue rn in ocg

>>538085171
I hate that I have to ask what deck you are exactly talking about? because Yummy, Ryzeal and Killer Tune are pretty much the same deck.

>>538079871
An awful deck like Ryzeal doesn't deserve to be gutted. Just take away the floodgates and watch it crumble away.

>>538085778
exactly

>>538085778
That's very obviously Ryzeal.

>>538085778
Is killer tune actually good? I thought its tuner restriction was too...restrictive?

>>538085778
>>538086268
You mean Kewl Tune?

>>538087428
it's basically one of the first thing Prediction Princess decks pull out because the effects really are just that silly

>>538088703
There's no point when they have Guard Dog as an option. All Deus X offers is that it has enough levels to use as tribute, but that super minimal level of consistency boost is not going to help Prediction Princess.

>>538088965
guard dog is temporary
deus-x is permanent

>>538088965
even people that play Prediction Princess know it's not good, they need to take as much consistency as they can get
Guard Dog's honestly kinda fallen out of favor for other options, like the other anon said Guard Dog is a one time effect and you'd need to re-flip it, plus you can also just nuke a board with pot of the forbidden instead
I have a friend that's really attached to it and his thoughts on it are something like "it knows exactly what kind of endboard it wants to make, it just has very little ways to actually make it" and that's kinda my thoughts on it too

can they print "japanese" art tcg cards yet

>>538089502
Prediction Princess flips it(and Whirlwind Weasel) down and then back up as quick effect every turn. """All""" you need to do is get both rituals in hand and then summon Trei by tributing Treith.
>>538089657
I don't agree with your one friend. Let's not pretend Prediction Princess is some popular deck that is seeing large amounts of experimentation by skilled players who are able to come to a consensus on these things. Needing to re-flip it is hardly a downside. The deck is bad enough that you're not getting any appreciable consistency boost one way or the other, and you may as well set up the board that wins you the game instead of the one that's just alright.
Playing Pot of the Forbidden Control is significantly more fun though.

>Accesscode Talker as an Extender
TOTALLY ABSOLUTELY NOT OK.

I know this is not an isolated case but how many "END BOSS" monsters became extenders? DPE and AccessCode Talker, who else?

What Happened At The Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship...

>>538090217
People sometimes use Baronne's pop to extend by popping their own cards too. Same with SP's banish.

>>538090408
Heart of the Cards.
That and the funny tie breaker rules Konami has put in place.
By the way I only heard of it a day after the fact.
Am I crazy or the past event was, I dunno, bigger?

>>538090394
Nah that always read as extension, crazy it was not a UR but the other Chungus was.

>>538090576
I just started playing Maliss and I am so used to SP being used as removal I forgot I could use it as an extender as well.
It did not matter.
I bricked with Maliss drawing into 3 of the field spell but you can extend from just sneezing.

>cyberse slop that plays from the banished zone
what were they THIIIIIINKing

>against runick
>he fucking summon majesty fiend
>just run over it with ransom because lmao atk/def switch

>>538091106
Everything about Maliss is deliberate.
Extending from access code, 2300 baseline to make it compatible with existing support.
Compatible with Bystials and other powerful engines. Difficult to interact with the deck by traditional means.
But I wonder why Alice in Wonderland? Why push this theme specifically?
Who in the design team wanted this archetype to be this powerful and why?

>>538091650
The Japs fucking love Alice in Wonderland. They probably thought making them all cute girls but also strong as shit would pull the game out of the rut it's been in for a bit.

>>538091581
>Cat - Japan
I would like this archetype better if it branched from the already existing cards like Mad Hacker / Mad Hatter instead of being 100% waifu bullshit and leaned more into the malware themes instead of EXTEND EXTEND BANISH BANISH

>>538091952
they're mimicking one of the most important feature of malware
you can't simply just delete them once they're online, they'll be back multiple times

>alt art status
3 crystal wings and 1 medallion
I'm not eager of playing any of those decks on ranked but i will. Just to tell the world hey, I got this

Yang Zing makes Tenyi/Swordsoul a lot more fun. It probably makes the deck worse, but it feels a lot less braindead.
Thinking about getting rid of the Mo Ye crutch and focusing more on the Yang Zing gimmicks

This event is the worst.
Yay even more maliss/ryzeal

I've been wanting to kill myself, I just might this time

Ok I built a maliss deck how do i play it

I'm truly embarrassed by anyone losing to this pathetic fucking card

>>538094728
normal summon dormouse and opponent will scoop.

>>538096169
>booze version
AAAIIEE THINK OF THE TCG KIDDIES

>>538092771
I was collecting them all but after they released Shaddoll and Synchron ones at the same time it became appearant that they were speeding up their release and it was a bad idea to continue pulling for ones I won't use.

We're so back.
>requires a light fiend as material
>is a musket so can link into Max even if negated
>summons a musket to your field and sets a musket monster OR spell/trap to their field
>giving them a card turns Max on
So you can even just like as a very simple example, give them a monster and summon Caspar/Starfire/Doc, link the link 2 into Max to search Desperado since they have a monster, then use it to pop their monster and trigger the guy you summoned.
This extends and gets you extra light fiends in the GY. You can also just like send their guy to the GY with Engraver's effect and keep the trap in hand to use with Caspar for two interruptions.

>magical muskets support
fuck you. fucking why

ban and kill all light fiends

>>538086534
The strongest thing this card can do is searching Sengenjin, it can come back tomorrow and nobody would play it but it WOULD be funny to play Millennium Ryzeal

we didnt need more fiendslop support

>>538098593
Because they're cool.

>>538098781
I don't give a fuck about it. Any new light fiend card means Fiendslop support

a light fiend just flew over my house

>>538098773
>The strongest thing this card can do is [something really strong]
The only reason that wouldn't be a problem is because there's no good deck that makes rank 4s at the moment aside from Ryzeal who can't make good use of Millennium thanks to locks. White Forest is the only deck that could consider it but that's already a deck that may as well FTK if it resolves anything close to a combo.

>>538099029
shoot it

>>538098919
>oh noooooo Fiendsmith decks might be convinced to do something interesting instead of making Caesar

>>538098563
Oh wait, you can't link this into Max. He requires a lvl 8 or lower Musket which aside from himself this is the first one not to fit that criteria.

>>538099213
I would rather Fiendslop ceased to exist entirely.

>>538099510
Good luck with that. If you whine about it more on /vg/ it'll surely come true.

>>538099601
yes. and kys fiendcuck

SEEEEEEX!!!

kill all purrelys

>>538099073
Fiendsmith is any rank 4, and I would not call the Millennium combo "really strong" it had a moment to shine when Snake Eye Fiendsmith lost Beatrice and for like a month when Crystron was relevant.

It's good as a starter and to bait interaction, if you already have a rank 4 (broadbull) on the board you probably don't need to make a Zombie Vampire or a monster negate.

Impregnate all purrelys

purrely is shit in this meta right?

>>538101571
The only playable deck is Maliss and the runner up is Ryzeal, so yes. Literally every other deck is shit compared to them

>>538101571
>>538102374
this fact doesn't stop me from jacking it to it tho.

I dumped a shitload of gems into their secret pack for the Bamboo Swords and Mikanko, but the only URs I got were Guardian Eatos
as in, 7+ Guardian Eatos and I still don't have 3 of any of the other URs in that pack
I just blew the last of my gems on a guaranteed UR 10 pull, and the only UR was a single Guardian Eatos
how many of the Mikanko URs do I need? and how many are optimal?

>>538102768
3 Water Arabesque 3 Ohime for a serious deck
1 Spirit Walk and Fire Dance

i'm so tired of playing salad

>>538101571
you can hit master 1 with purrely, but this anon cannot >>538102374
too shit at the game

>>538103552
>what is playable in the meta is something you can hit masters 1 with
lmfao

>>538103714
>t. something you've never done

why are you playing salad

>>538100324
Asking a deck to run the standard Fiendsmith extra deck cards, and the three additional ED cards they'd need to make Broadbull to then still have to have things to make with the Millennium cards is a big ask.
The Millennium cards will continue to be very strong as long as there are decks that can efficiently use all the material they provide. They didn't suddenly go down in card quality because the newest decks don't mesh well with them.

You can't pretend like extra deck extenders aren't powerful. They obviously are. There are definitely decks that would want to turn 2 level 4s into the 4 bodies you could get from Millennium considering how good all the Millennium main deck cards are. It's just that none of them are relevant for now. Like look at how Fire King Snake Eye was top tier running the Springans package in the Xyz cup for that reason. They'd gladly would've traded it to run Millennium cards over those bricks.

It'd probably be fine in MD specifically if you don't mind more material spam slop piles, because MD has 8 months of forewarning before a good deck comes out so they could ban it in anticipation should a good deck come out that synergizes with it, but they'd probably just leave it legal regardless.

>>538103714
>what is playable in the meta is something you can hit masters 1 with
Yes? Obviously if you can hit max rank with it that means it's playable.

>>538103890
I suck at playing everything else

Dudes still running tearlaments to this day are kinda based

>>538104398
kill yourself teartranny

>>538103552
How much can a good deck carry a bad (or average) player? I got through diamond 1 last season with a mix of ryzeal and voiceless, and I'm itching for some gems, but I don't know if it's worth attempting to climb through master.

>>538104730
Quite a bit, especially given many people will assume you know what you're doing and surrender before you can fuck up. I don't think grinding it out is worth it if you didn't already want to play that many games though.

What are some "cult classic" decks? Shit like D/D/D, Speedroid and Vaylantz that despite being outdated still have some very dedicated people thinkering with them?

>>538105179
does branded count as outdated yet

>>538104060
>There are definitely decks that would want to turn 2 level 4s into the 4 bodies you could get from Millennium considering how good all the Millennium main deck cards are
There are none currently, and there are none in the foreseeable future. Decks today don't need more material or generic bodies, that's quite literally the least of their concerns. The worst that will come from it is you'll get is some trash 60 pile list that's trying to put up an FTK board.

>They didn't suddenly go down in card quality because the newest decks don't mesh well with them.
That's literally how it works, they are worse cards now. Maliss and Ryzeal pushed the power level up a notch and K9 100% replaces them in every way.

>>538105179
There will always be people who want Zombie piles to work, and there are always new synergies for it to mess with. Delta of Invitation, Goblin Bikers to search and then loop Goblin Zombie, Duke of Demise, Ghost Fusion, etc.
Fluffals is another deck like that but I imagine a lot of people gave up on it over the last year since its weakness was always little to no room for non-engine and mediocre consistency.

>>538105179
The entire anniversary event this year was for live twin, so they should be a cult deck, but after the anniversary I never saw them again

>>538105534
>That's literally how it works, they are worse cards now.
No they aren't. It's just that the decks that synergize with them are worse. Impulse wouldn't become a bad card if Maliss got banned.
>Maliss and Ryzeal pushed the power level up
Full power Snake Eye was stronger. K9 does not replace them. K9 is mostly going to be a new hand trap you can play. Maliss is still in the running for third best deck in the OCG.

>>538105572
>Zombie piles to work, and there are always new synergies for it to mess with
personally I've been tinkering with Curse of the Ancient Turtle recently
>banish Changshi, send Mazera
>use Changshi to banish Mazera
>summon mazera
>use Changshi to send Mad Mauler
>summon Mad Mauler and summon Immortal
I can't wait for the new eldlich support, it's gonna be great

>>538105679
Live Twin isn't a cult deck, it's just a popular deck that's been somewhat underpowered for a good while now. Everyone who wants to play it is waiting for their support which should be in the next couple months.

It's crazy how fast people are to chase the trends in this game and only judge things based on what is most popular. Obviously the new decks are the best thanks to the banlist killing the old ones but there are seriously people who believe stuff like Fiendsmith cards suddenly became terrible because Maliss and Ryzeal don't use them.

I wonder how often it'd go the opposite way if release dates were different. I wouldn't be surprised if we'd be seeing people talking about how Ryzeal is a shitty outdated deck and Fiendsmith, Fire King, and Rescue Ace are some crazy new level of power creep if they came out now alongside a couple Maliss+Ryzeal limits.

>>538105860
>Impulse wouldn't become a bad card if Maliss got banned
Apples to oranges. Impluse is one of a kind. Generic engines are quite literally power crept yearly. This is like saying Adventure is still good but there's just no decks that can play it. No, it's bad now. There's stronger engines in stronger decks.

>K9 does not replace them
It does replace Millennium in any deck that was playing them. It's a stronger engine slot.

>Full power Snake Eye was stronger
