Ok Ancient sanctuary is too new I thought Swampmen was an OD. Everything else is old tho. What else is new?
meteor dragon come a lot later
versaggo is later set support on general fusion
blast juggler is magic/spell ruler card
king of swamp is 5ds era card iirc or late gx
fusion sage is also later set along versago
ancient rule and summoning art are GX era
axe of archfiend and mirror force are metal raider card
Is kash even going to be the best deck if it's releasing with 3 less starters and will probably have a random other card semi limited every month for the next 6 months in true master duel fashion?
Despite being so strong, he doesn't look like he has any protection. Kash in general doesn't have any protection or negates as far as I know, besides Shangra-ira's destruction protection.
>Ishizu shit was hit on release >Tear shit was hit on release >Spright shit was hit on release
Wow, I wonder if Kash support will still be good? Surely a hit on release is enough to curve its power level.
There are only 4 names hit for Kashtira, and only 3 (arguably 2) of those matter for your consistency. Tear literally had 5 names hit at the start even if you try to ignore the Ishizu cards.
Also kash full power is not remotely on the same level as full power tear. Yep, kash tier 0 confirmed and not just a bricky mess that’ll gatekeep rogue decks but be worse than Purrely. Feels like they overhit this shit tbh
diablosis carries the everloving shit out of the deck and it's getting banned, so probably not. purrely will still be stronger by a small margin because they can actually recover from board breakers while kash just eats shit and dies.
its actually hard to tell they are missing 3 searches and pot of prosperity the Constituency of the deck is hurting alot so i actually think kash wont be a tier 0 deck like in the tcg but its going to be a tier one contender for sure. Also Purrely and mikanko have a pretty good matchup vs kash.
the latter's match-up is more than just good in a bo1. if they draw ANY removal plus ANY name, they win, period. with diablosis banned there isn't even a way to tell your opponent is on mikanko and play accordingly.
yea them banning diablosis and limiting the field spell are good hits idk why people are b***hing about them not limiting arseheart like that does anything
Yes, slight consistency hits will totally make Kashtira not good. That Tearlaments Kashtira hit is definitely gonna make Kashtira T3 at best because every Kashtira player had it at 3 in OCG and TCG. Losing the ability to mill 3 from your deck is a really big deal because as we all know, Kashtira is a mill deck just like Tearlaments.
The consistency hits Kashtira had in the TCG were unicorn at 2. This game already has four relevant maindeck hits to consistency, which is less than the OCG has now but yeah far more than the TCG had. It's not like any of the good spright cards are banned besides toad, but that deck is shit too as a pure strategy just from them limiting and semi limiting all of their consistency cards.

Yugioh already does that though but instead of doing it by set rotation they do it by just banning every fricking relevant deck after a few months and by obscene powercreep. Set rotation gives you a more reliable timeframe for the lifespan of a deck and lets them powercreep less. Also removes a bunch of unfun older cards. They could of course reprint anything old that they want in a format and probably would for iconic cards like Raigeki for instance.
If I couldn't play my petdecks I wouldn't play this game.

Frick off moron, what you're saying is simply not true. You think you're right, but you're not. The appeal of Yugioh is that I can use any cards I want. I don't care if it's weak compared to newer cards, I'm still allowed to play it if I want. Sometimes older cards gain unexpected relevance. The cardpool of Yugioh is huge, that's the APPEAL. I don't want a fricktiny cardpool of only shit Konami decided. I don't want to build decks exactly according to how the rotation decides it. I want OPTIONS.
There would still be an expanded format where you could play casual shit or alternately hyper cancer due to a more lax banlist. Also if they release support for an older deck, they could reprint most or all of the old cards to bring it back as well. Sometimes older cards do gain unexpected relevance in cool ways, true. It's cool to see something random like fricking Marionette Mite get side decked or dark hole being run again in a competitive setting, but while obscure cards like mite would get overlooked, they would likely print fun iconic cards like dark hole. Most old cards that see play though are objectively cancer. Wow, it sure is cool to see this old card that reads you cannot special summon!!
And you still would have about the same level of options as now outside of what autowin you sidedeck in a bo3. The only thing you would lose is the illusion of having more options despite the expanded card pool being largely nonviable.

That's moronic. Expanded formats are always disasters because of how much balancing revolves around "oh, it won't be a problem once it rotates"
Go back to your mtg threads and rot there with your dying game.

This. I thought it was going to be one of those meme events where you get half a deck and you need to complete it to make a full deck, but it's just ranked, but worse because you can get matched against plat/diamond players.
i'll use it for herald or the abyss and TTT for purrely/kash that's it, even with schizophrenic D link 50+ cards that allows me some space, i already run alot of soft bricks don't need more. i imagine it's even worse for other decks who need to be at strict 40.
Most strict 40 decks just lower their amount of handtraps. Some decks can’t because this game is bad and you need the maxx C package in every deck, but those decks were the ones fitting little nonengine to begin with.
>but those decks were the ones fitting little nonengine to begin with.
sure, now they have thrust, but they'll lose to the roach extremely hard, we already respect maxx c and look how much havoc it's dealing, imagine if everyone stopped respecting it. also thrust is deceptive, it gets better with more targets in your deck, but well, if you put more cards you'll brick. i'm sure it'll find it's use, but i think it's overhyped.
I don’t think it’s overhyped. I just don’t think you would play it in those decks that have space for only 6 nonengine cards, because you gotta run the bug. Most modern decks can afford the space though.

Do they really need to?
They have plenty of ways to fuse some shit, end up right where they want to be, recycle branded fusion and grab whatever else looks good from their deck before ending their turn along with some of the materials from the fusions they did do
It's pretty much just good ash bait
>not run Ash+crossout
No list I've seen skips out on Ash, and most do run crossout as well. >Run over 40
If it's a few cards over than it's no big deal, given how many ways there are to add Branded Fusion, along side there being bricks in deck
It's still going to be ass for a while, but you're basically going to see something similar to the last TCG format, just with roach. Books, Books everywhere. Don't be caught without them. Kashtira is pretty easy to hate on so long as they don't banish your topdeck outs before you can even draw for turn.
I am still confused about the Twilightsworn lore retcon, before it was pretty clear it was the ligtsworns after being corrupted by the dark world but now it is just them in a more aggressive mode basically
Why change it?
>deck looks cool. >craft it and think about combos later. >ok i made the deck now i'm stuck with it now i have to learn it otherwise i wasted all my gems.

dlink Black person here, Dlink is not as hard as other people will try to gaslight you into believing. >"LEARN A BASIC COOOOMBO BRO LOLE FOLLOW THE CHART BRO LOLE"
i hate this so much, it's such an annoying homosexual tip to anyone learning a new deck, that's why you are struggling in the first place, the most important thing is to understand what your cards do and what's your gameplan is before anything else, it's boring as shit and people will fast forward through it, at least i know i used to do it, not anymore.
if you understood your cards the combos fundamentally will get easier because the steps and the progression will make sense
I've only been playing for a day and there's a specific order of needing to discard certain shit to summon it etc so "knowing the combo" is important here but it's probably something I'd get used to soon enough just trying to straighten it out immediately, I was struggling because I didn't even know wtf I was supposed to do with Ceremony/Ohime/Mayo/Firedance/etc
If you have a macro understanding of what your decks tries to accomplish, you don't ever really need to follow flowcharts even for solitaire ass decks. It's more about reaching certain checkpoints that you can turn into interruptions on your opponent's turn or accounting for certain handtraps then tbh
yes, only because i want tell dummies "stop interrupting me, i'm doing my dailies and will leave an empty field" or "just attack me now, i don't have anything"
They hate Ariseheart for simply being a sensitive young man and hero that makes boards without trillions of disruptions or negates and only wants to enact Total Waifu Death
I like the idea of Ariseheart as some out of control psycho who's like a black hole of power, but god fricking damn is it cancer to actually play against.
>If your opponent has activated a monster effect during this turn: Set 1 Normal Spell/Trap directly from your Deck, except "Triple Tactics Thrust", or if your opponent controls a monster, you can add it to your hand instead. That Set card cannot be activated this turn. You can only activate 1 "Triple Tactics Thrust" per turn.
Can't wait. Thrust is an insane card. And I don't use that word lightly like everyone else does. Getting to run one-of power Spells is really fricking nice. Now if these fricks at konami would just get rid of the floodgates...

It's not helpful for you to OTK usually, but it's good if you fail to and want to interrupt your opponent on their turn. It's just snatch steal that you can quick effect with ohime. Like this anon mentions
Tearlaments Mikanko
it's more important in decks using mikanko as an engine rather than a dedicated blind second strategy, since it converts ohime into an interruption.
If you open it in your hand you can equip it to an opponent's monster and if they don't negate/pop it, you can just normal one of the Mikankos to instantly gain control of the monster, won't even start a chain.
It's not even opponents having full combo, it's Maxx C garbage stopping you from actually playing yugioh or Called By the Grave letting the opponent play for fricking free. It creates so many one-sided games on top of the literal coinflips.
>Dark Magician
I guarantee you this deck can be infuriating. Not because it's strong, but because there always that chance one could catch you off guard on your shittiest day with the worst hand, and then you feel like a shitter because you just lost to a joke of a deck.
Back when Sprights and Tears was going rampant, the only infuriating portion of their turns taking forever even though I always had the winning cards in my hand.
It's not our fault there aren't more pendulum archetype-specific link monsters and even if there were if they didn't have an effect like electrumite or BtP that let us get a much needed scale or combo piece then we probably wouldn't play it over those anyway.
Oh wow Book of Eclipse Nior into Evenly Match really does frick up a Purrely player.
I'm conflicted. Also had an opponent who ended on 3 monsters ( one of them being Nior and a spellcaster) with Secret Village up. Sphere Mode saved the day and Village completely fricked them over lol.
Now I want to play test Kurikara going second against Purrely...

You know, I know that the nips and all the OCG wienersuckers here think Eclipse is so bad because everyone is on Ash 100% of the time, but in my experience it's really fricking good still. Trades one for one or just turns off all your opponent's shit. And not like you can't play Book of Moon alongside of it.
>meanwhile in the brain of some slant eyed frick >hmmm this awful archetype can be used to turbo out a floodgate >with almost absolutely no forms of protection and dies to a single Ash or Imperm >I am genius

Are we not talking about rush duels anymore? I actually want to play it but I dunno how duel links works
Am I gonna have to grind every single character for 4 years until I get to rush or I can just be rush only and start immediately with the rush characters?
We get the slow game and posturing and trading blows with weak monsters before going apeshit with your bosses T5 and you both have time to set yourselves up for the main event. We get best of both worlds. I’m just kidding, YGO is fine as is I wouldn’t frick with it, it’s my favorite game. Hell I say T1 player should still draw, sue me.
Honestly, if you couldn't special summon on the first turn so the going second player has time to set his trap cards, it would make trap hell of a lot more better and then we can just ban all the bullshit trap cards.
I still haven't found a deck I truly have fun playing. I've tried Branded, Labs, Mikanko, Swordsoul, Unchained, Kashtira, P.U.N.K., Purrely, Traptrix, Zombie pile with Eldlich mixed in, and Rikka.
Some are good, but unfun. Some are a little fun but I get tired quickly. Most I just play for a while and then drop. How the frick do you find a fun deck bros.
I like Branded because I read the lore so I have an emotional connection with the cards more than just "the counter trap that negates" or "the guy that pops"
Idk it's just a matter of finding something that clicks with you. Whenever I get really tired i find it fun to build weird or janky decks slopping archetypes with vague synergy together. Like Tearlaments Purrely
you will never have fun if you don't make your own deck. building and slowly tuning your deck IS the fun part
with that said, currently building a branded deck without any fusion lock card
>Scherein to 2 >Havnis to 1 >Merrli to 0 >Kitkallos to 1 >Suliek to 1 >Tear Kash to 1 >Kelbek to 0 >Agido to 0 >Mudora to 1 >Keldo to 0
Was all of this really that necessary?
Fricking unban Keldo and Kelbek, I guess they were busted in Tears or something but I needed them for my pet deck, I pretty much can’t use the deck now.
No, it wasn't necessary. All Konami had to do was put in the rulebook that anyone caught using cards from Power of the Elements or Darkwing Blast is to be thrown into the Shadow Realm. They didn't have to interact with the banlist at all.
Um you do know that you usually don't have to win get the missions right? All the missions are usually just Do something 3 or 5 times. As long as you don't surrender you can get gems.

You can only use the (1)st monster effect of this card’s name once per turn.

He was probably so confused and/or laughing his ass off. Let this be a lesson, never give up till the last card is played.
That's why you should either scoop immediately when you see something you don't like, or play it out completely.
Timer stalling is for Black folk, remember that.
I've really been having fun playing punk zombies its nonlinear and the more I play it deck the more consistent it seems with a really good end board. Only real weakness is if you don't have a way to make chaos dragon or the zombie vampire.
A pity the deck dies the second the next pack comes out
The chaos ruler turbo version felt kinda ass with 0 millers and grass dead, so I tried the ghost fusion version. It's ass in a different way but also much more boring. Zombies are suffering.
The ishizu card bans hurt a lot but you can still mill 9 to 12 per turn.
Dunno how to feel about that. I love vampires but I fricking hate PUNKslop probably more than any other engine right now. Vampires need some more nutty legacy support, they were so close to printing vampire Circular with Vampire Ghost.
Id also prefer in archetype zombie cards to punk ones but theres nothing that can make a lvl 8 sychro and put another lvl 8 monster on the field for chaos dragon and zombie vamp
Yeah but that doesn't feel like enough. There's no single zombie name that fuses into kitkallos or some shit to do your entire line for you. You need to mill several different things in order to really get the ball rolling, and with so few mills, it feels ass now. Also with no grass, you usually just pass if you get handtrapped before you can reach ruler. Before you could run 60 and mill most of your deck without even opening grass thanks to millers but also have a funny "haha I win" button you could use even if your zeamin was ashed.

Don't listen to that gay. PUNK is downplayed so hard, probably the same playerbase as VW. The Chaos Ruler + Zombie Vampire combo is fricking moronicly good even if Tear is kneecapped. If you want to play PUNKslop, PUNK Kashtira is better.
It just feels really bricky unless you open exactly the semi-limited e-tele. Also random mills are weird in PUNK tear. You have no fricking millers, 1 tear kash (low value mill), 2 fusers, and then 3 scream 1 sulliek. All your PUNKs don't do anything on mill, and ze amin often fights for normal summon with reinoheart. What are you digging for to justify the inconsistency and frailness to handtraps that comes with PUNK tear? Milling a random snow? Milling those other 4s the special summon for free on mill? "Just open etele lmao" the deck.

>say it's downplayed so hard >immediately after says it's kneecapped and that another version of PUNK is better
The version that doesn't even run Chaos ruler at that. Gamba punk is ass.
I'm not downplaying anything. PUNK tear is not the best version of PUNK nor the best version of tear, chaos ruler is not a part of the combo used in kashtira variants of PUNK, and also the fusion is good and used in any PUNK deck except the chaos ruler turbo variants which, while these were always high roll memes, are not even good high roll memes anymore thanks to millers being deleted from the game. Imagine unironically saying the fusion is bad. You people will see some 60 card dogshit do well once and just assume this is actually a consistent strategy that should be taken seriously as anything but a gimmick, a gimmick that has been shat on every banlist over the past half year thanks to sharing cards with actually good decks. That's the only world in which I could see someone coming to think the fusion is bad, since those were the only versions that didn't run it.

I think he said the fusion is bad as in if you ash rising carp its donezo for the punk player. Or that guy could just play punk as en engine for chaos ruler/ vampire and don't really give a shit about rising carp.

Yes, rising carp is a huge choke point for punk if you go through it, but if you don't use it, foxy tune is a huge choke point. It raises the power level of your endboard if you have a way to check ash, and if your opponent ashes you early such as on ze amin or foxy, you can often still go into it instead of passing. Rising carp also make foxy tune and no other names turn into combo instead of a pass. It is an essential piece of the PUNK deck he said was better than PUNK tear, so I do not understand how you can say it is bad unless you just do not know the deck at all besides half-paying attention while other people play it.

>I think he said the fusion is bad as in if you ash rising carp its donezo for the punk player
This is what I meant. It's probably the only real game ending chokepoint, I am fair in my assessment of what is and isn't shit in this game and rising carp loses so much value when you hit it. But the whole rest of the engine, not so much and it is resilient and covers your archetype's ass really good. Also I'm not going to bother reading the other guy's dumb fricking takes, cry more about bricking with a fricking Pot of Greed field spell and about 10 starters.
I dont care about PUNK or Punk discussion I played against a PUNK player in the event and he ended on one barone and the one imperm PUNK trap. He then let Branded Lost resolve and then tried to negate Branded Fusion and I laughed all the way to Mirrorjade and then he surrendered.

Yugioh players will never not cheese. They will never not take the easiest route possible. They will never play fun decks. Yugioh is not for fun. You need to get that out of your head right now. This is business.
Hey hey hey. That would only be in 10% of games you open both Therizia and Thrust. The other 23% of the time you draw Thrust you wouldn't have any effect to bait them into using an effect. Maybe they'll ash your Fossil Dig if they're dumb.
>if they're dumb
That's really not a good benchmark of whether a card is good, isn't it? Ash is supposed to be for Domain/Frenzy.
The only triggers I can imagine would be someone veilering your Therizia or standby phase Shifter/Maxx C.

I never really felt like Kitkallos was particularly more egregiously strong than the rest of the package, and at this point I'm convinced she's like Elf. Broken like dozens of other things in this game, but people think they're far stronger than they are because they got banned in other formats.
Who knows. New banlist that bans Chaos Ruler isn't in effect yet. People are theorycrafting variants like Danger and Horus to make Zombie Vampire, but they all look like dogshit to me with the Ishizu millers ban. OCG will prob still play this brick deck because they are obsess with Tear for some reason

Ok Ancient sanctuary is too new I thought Swampmen was an OD. Everything else is old tho. What else is new?
ancient rules is from strike of neos.
Wow really.
Suck me yugi used that in episode 3 ffs, it’s LOB. I basically included LOB, MRD, and MRL.
here's your LoB deck bro
I’m a dumb mf I forgot about Hane-Hane. I whipped the deck up in 3 seconds from what I thought would be bust at the time. Why Trap Hole and not Mirror Force? I insist Mirror Force should be allowed.
>LOB
>MRD
>MRL
and the four original starter decks I consider all LOB canon
mirror force is metal raiders. it wasn't there for LoB format.
>whoever had the bigger bungus wins
Man YGO used to be so shit, good thing I didn't get into it back when the anime aired.
nah you're mistaken. whoever established swords of revealing light won. exodia was a legitimate wincon in LoB.
dispell exist for that reason
surprise surprise, that wasn't printed until the starter decks.
https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Vol.2
it's in the same pack as SoRL
no one's talking about the release structure in the ocg, moron-kun. in the tcg, swords was in LoB and de-spell was in the starter decks.
>TCG was israeli since the beginning
surpised pikachu . gif
I played progression with a friend of mine, and LOB, MRD were so fricking bad to play. Stone Soldier or Mystical Elf in def dragged the game on so fricking bad.
mirror force ain't lob
>All URs are obtainable via Solo Mode or Legacy Packs
>literal screenshot
How poor are you anon?
half of this isn't LoB and most of it wasn't meta even back then
only way you're winning with Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon is if your opponent has laughs themself to death at the table
meteor dragon come a lot later
versaggo is later set support on general fusion
blast juggler is magic/spell ruler card
king of swamp is 5ds era card iirc or late gx
fusion sage is also later set along versago
ancient rule and summoning art are GX era
axe of archfiend and mirror force are metal raider card
that's what come to my mind without checking wiki
What are you even trying to do? If it's LoB then most of your cards are illegal and if it's a GOAT list then it's mostly too old and sucks ass
I guess I’m not trying to do anything. Just gonna delete the deck and stop posting lol just made it for a bit of a laugh
Is kash even going to be the best deck if it's releasing with 3 less starters and will probably have a random other card semi limited every month for the next 6 months in true master duel fashion?
yes moron, next question
Why?
Have you read AriseHeart?
Despite being so strong, he doesn't look like he has any protection. Kash in general doesn't have any protection or negates as far as I know, besides Shangra-ira's destruction protection.
It would be a real shame if Kashtira had a way to pull him out of the banished pile
people didn't even play this shit
that's because there wasn't a reason to do so dumbass
And what’s the reason to now besides copium?
you can give him protection from attaching goliath to him via banishing it with pot of prosp
Prosp is at 1.
Oh, I forgot Prosp got hit. Maybe Kash won't be a problem after all.
would be worth if that card wasn't hit to 1
He doesn't need protection. He floodgates the opponent. Your options are draw the out or lose.
All I see is a turtle
ariseheart pass is extremely strong
>Ishizu shit was hit on release
>Tear shit was hit on release
>Spright shit was hit on release
Wow, I wonder if Kash support will still be good? Surely a hit on release is enough to curve its power level.
Those all had less names hit at release.
There are only 4 names hit for Kashtira, and only 3 (arguably 2) of those matter for your consistency. Tear literally had 5 names hit at the start even if you try to ignore the Ishizu cards.
No, shut up. Frick you.
My best friend Fenrir is still on the loose! Watch out meta!
shit was hit on release
>>Tear shit was hit on release
oh wow semi limit and kitkallos limit, what a huge hit!
Also kash full power is not remotely on the same level as full power tear. Yep, kash tier 0 confirmed and not just a bricky mess that’ll gatekeep rogue decks but be worse than Purrely. Feels like they overhit this shit tbh
Yeah moron just draw the out.
diablosis carries the everloving shit out of the deck and it's getting banned, so probably not. purrely will still be stronger by a small margin because they can actually recover from board breakers while kash just eats shit and dies.
kashtira dominated TCG even after diablosis ban
TCG is an irrelevant clown format tho
this
not a single person here pays attention to it
You can smell the seethe behind this post
its actually hard to tell they are missing 3 searches and pot of prosperity the Constituency of the deck is hurting alot so i actually think kash wont be a tier 0 deck like in the tcg but its going to be a tier one contender for sure. Also Purrely and mikanko have a pretty good matchup vs kash.
the latter's match-up is more than just good in a bo1. if they draw ANY removal plus ANY name, they win, period. with diablosis banned there isn't even a way to tell your opponent is on mikanko and play accordingly.
yea them banning diablosis and limiting the field spell are good hits idk why people are b***hing about them not limiting arseheart like that does anything
FREE HER
NEVER
I honestly don't see why she can't go back to 1. Modern cards are more busted than she is.
>UR dust drying up
>gem prices are bad for the buyer
its over
just craft an ultra-budget deck and add 3 Fenrirs like the brownest and laziest of Black folk, then start farming event duels
>3 Fenrirs when it is semi
>farming event duels when you only get 1 pack
Your average Ganker player
is doing 3 duels for a pack really considered "farming"?
That's the point. It isn't and only tards think so.
Yes, slight consistency hits will totally make Kashtira not good. That Tearlaments Kashtira hit is definitely gonna make Kashtira T3 at best because every Kashtira player had it at 3 in OCG and TCG. Losing the ability to mill 3 from your deck is a really big deal because as we all know, Kashtira is a mill deck just like Tearlaments.
The consistency hits Kashtira had in the TCG were unicorn at 2. This game already has four relevant maindeck hits to consistency, which is less than the OCG has now but yeah far more than the TCG had. It's not like any of the good spright cards are banned besides toad, but that deck is shit too as a pure strategy just from them limiting and semi limiting all of their consistency cards.

Hopefully not soon. I'm going to be out of gems simping for Arise-Heart.
What are some good targets to serach with trp tacts for sky striker. how many would you run?
This could be Master Duel if Konami cared about balancing the game.
That meta is a nightmare.
the exact same game but with a different meta for you to seethe about?
Konami would never let Gandora be tiered.
BLS skill places like 8 cards in the grave, duel link skills are cancer, its basically set rotation/forced meta by konami.
>AIEEEEEEEEEEEE NOT SET ROTATION PLEASE DON'T BALANCE MY GAME NOOOOOOOO
Why are Yugichuds like this?
name a balanced trading card game featuring set rotation
scratch that, name a balanced trading card game
Every single TCG with set rotation is more balanced than yugishit. Every single one.
Such as...?
Magic the Gathering
Even the most hardcore of the homosexuals playing troony the pandering admits that things have gone out of hand and that their game is about to die for that
don't worry, weebs art will save the game
I noticed you didn't name anything. Some people might think that it's because you simply couldn't, so for the sake of transparency would you like to try again?
have a nice day shill. Set rotation exists to force you to buy cards, not to balance the game.
Yugioh already does that though but instead of doing it by set rotation they do it by just banning every fricking relevant deck after a few months and by obscene powercreep. Set rotation gives you a more reliable timeframe for the lifespan of a deck and lets them powercreep less. Also removes a bunch of unfun older cards. They could of course reprint anything old that they want in a format and probably would for iconic cards like Raigeki for instance.
If I couldn't play my petdecks I wouldn't play this game.
There would still be an expanded format where you could play casual shit or alternately hyper cancer due to a more lax banlist. Also if they release support for an older deck, they could reprint most or all of the old cards to bring it back as well. Sometimes older cards do gain unexpected relevance in cool ways, true. It's cool to see something random like fricking Marionette Mite get side decked or dark hole being run again in a competitive setting, but while obscure cards like mite would get overlooked, they would likely print fun iconic cards like dark hole. Most old cards that see play though are objectively cancer. Wow, it sure is cool to see this old card that reads you cannot special summon!!
And you still would have about the same level of options as now outside of what autowin you sidedeck in a bo3. The only thing you would lose is the illusion of having more options despite the expanded card pool being largely nonviable.
shut the frick up
That's moronic. Expanded formats are always disasters because of how much balancing revolves around "oh, it won't be a problem once it rotates"
Go back to your mtg threads and rot there with your dying game.
Frick off moron, what you're saying is simply not true. You think you're right, but you're not. The appeal of Yugioh is that I can use any cards I want. I don't care if it's weak compared to newer cards, I'm still allowed to play it if I want. Sometimes older cards gain unexpected relevance. The cardpool of Yugioh is huge, that's the APPEAL. I don't want a fricktiny cardpool of only shit Konami decided. I don't want to build decks exactly according to how the rotation decides it. I want OPTIONS.
Gandora doesn't have enough cards to be an archetype let alone be meta.
>diamond V its literal crabs in the bucket meme rank with everyone playing go second deck and magically starting with lava golem every single time
Reminder to invest in Swordsoul if you haven't already. You have no excuse at this point.
This event is literally just ranked but twice as much cancer. And just for a shitty single roll ticket? Why the frick did they even bring it back?
im not playing it at all
This. I thought it was going to be one of those meme events where you get half a deck and you need to complete it to make a full deck, but it's just ranked, but worse because you can get matched against plat/diamond players.
So when's the real October event? Something Halloween themed

will everyone run thrust with moronic cards (when searchable) like evenly or TTT?
You'll probably see it in going second decks. Numeron will absolutely run it.
i'll use it for herald or the abyss and TTT for purrely/kash that's it, even with schizophrenic D link 50+ cards that allows me some space, i already run alot of soft bricks don't need more. i imagine it's even worse for other decks who need to be at strict 40.
Most strict 40 decks just lower their amount of handtraps. Some decks can’t because this game is bad and you need the maxx C package in every deck, but those decks were the ones fitting little nonengine to begin with.
>he fell for the 'le maxx c package meme'
lmao
>but those decks were the ones fitting little nonengine to begin with.
sure, now they have thrust, but they'll lose to the roach extremely hard, we already respect maxx c and look how much havoc it's dealing, imagine if everyone stopped respecting it. also thrust is deceptive, it gets better with more targets in your deck, but well, if you put more cards you'll brick. i'm sure it'll find it's use, but i think it's overhyped.
I don’t think it’s overhyped. I just don’t think you would play it in those decks that have space for only 6 nonengine cards, because you gotta run the bug. Most modern decks can afford the space though.
I waa gonna shove in change if heart as a target in case I drew the other TTT + it’s funny
>run a bunch of random 7 extenders in my orcust deck so i can make diablosis with knightmare

frick off stupid pendtroony
why do branded players not run ash+crossout/ run over 40 card lists? Do they not want to start with branded fusion or see it resolve?
Do they really need to?
They have plenty of ways to fuse some shit, end up right where they want to be, recycle branded fusion and grab whatever else looks good from their deck before ending their turn along with some of the materials from the fusions they did do
It's pretty much just good ash bait
>not run Ash+crossout
No list I've seen skips out on Ash, and most do run crossout as well.
>Run over 40
If it's a few cards over than it's no big deal, given how many ways there are to add Branded Fusion, along side there being bricks in deck
>its ok that dlink is long annoying combo meta deck because its dragons
Yes. Tracer is never getting banned btw
Right? It's the same shit people always complain about but it's fine because dragons.

>tearlaments kashtira hit
>arise heart no
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
>he thought they were going to prehit ariseheart
banning diablosis and limiting planet and tearkash is good enough for israelitenami
It's good enough for the game too. Those are actually massive hits to both the ceiling and consistency of the deck.
It's still going to be ass for a while, but you're basically going to see something similar to the last TCG format, just with roach. Books, Books everywhere. Don't be caught without them. Kashtira is pretty easy to hate on so long as they don't banish your topdeck outs before you can even draw for turn.
all these kashtira chuds will be kept in check by mikanko chads
OK leftist

I'm just too moronic, it's pretty simple but I definitely get tripped up so I gotta make sure I can just follow a flowchart till I truly know it
god knows how dragon link Black folk with their 10 minute combos do it
At this point I've played dlinks so much I sort of autopilot it.
dlink Black person here, Dlink is not as hard as other people will try to gaslight you into believing.
>"LEARN A BASIC COOOOMBO BRO LOLE FOLLOW THE CHART BRO LOLE"
i hate this so much, it's such an annoying homosexual tip to anyone learning a new deck, that's why you are struggling in the first place, the most important thing is to understand what your cards do and what's your gameplan is before anything else, it's boring as shit and people will fast forward through it, at least i know i used to do it, not anymore.
if you understood your cards the combos fundamentally will get easier because the steps and the progression will make sense
I've only been playing for a day and there's a specific order of needing to discard certain shit to summon it etc so "knowing the combo" is important here but it's probably something I'd get used to soon enough just trying to straighten it out immediately, I was struggling because I didn't even know wtf I was supposed to do with Ceremony/Ohime/Mayo/Firedance/etc
If you have a macro understanding of what your decks tries to accomplish, you don't ever really need to follow flowcharts even for solitaire ass decks. It's more about reaching certain checkpoints that you can turn into interruptions on your opponent's turn or accounting for certain handtraps then tbh
Should Master Duel have a in game chat like EDOPro? Do you think the game would be better if you could talk with your opponent?
No and no
yes, only because i want tell dummies "stop interrupting me, i'm doing my dailies and will leave an empty field" or "just attack me now, i don't have anything"
if only just to paste the tianamen square pasta when I'm up vs chinks.
They hate Ariseheart for simply being a sensitive young man and hero that makes boards without trillions of disruptions or negates and only wants to enact Total Waifu Death
I like the idea of Ariseheart as some out of control psycho who's like a black hole of power, but god fricking damn is it cancer to actually play against.
>oh you maxx c me in main phase instead of standby phase
>thrust into called by the grave to cancel your maxx c
>If your opponent has activated a monster effect during this turn: Set 1 Normal Spell/Trap directly from your Deck, except "Triple Tactics Thrust", or if your opponent controls a monster, you can add it to your hand instead. That Set card cannot be activated this turn. You can only activate 1 "Triple Tactics Thrust" per turn.
I don't think thrust works like that anon
Good bait anon.
>Yugioh player doesn't read the card
This isn't the toilet paper game anon.
Master Duel won't let you break the rules this blatantly. https://streamable.com/hm8x49
You can't activate the normal spell/trap that turn can only set it with Thrust if they don't have a monster on field, so just set D Barrier
But what if we gave them a card that activates on field?

Tearlaments Mikanko
if you're on mikanko going first you use the quickplay to summon the ritual, banish it to get that in gy and attach it on their turn
It's not helpful for you to OTK usually, but it's good if you fail to and want to interrupt your opponent on their turn. It's just snatch steal that you can quick effect with ohime. Like this anon mentions
it's more important in decks using mikanko as an engine rather than a dedicated blind second strategy, since it converts ohime into an interruption.
Yes it's good. Not only can you snatch steal with Ohime like the other anons mention, you can also attach it with Mikanko Rivalry
If you open it in your hand you can equip it to an opponent's monster and if they don't negate/pop it, you can just normal one of the Mikankos to instantly gain control of the monster, won't even start a chain.
Name ONE deck that's not infuriating to go against.

>flunder mirrror match
hell no
No, because I will acknowledge them as an honorable warrior and as a first rate duelist.
It's not about the deck, it's the fact that everyone keeps opening full combo + called by/ash for my maxx "c" is infuriating.
It's not even opponents having full combo, it's Maxx C garbage stopping you from actually playing yugioh or Called By the Grave letting the opponent play for fricking free. It creates so many one-sided games on top of the literal coinflips.
Dark Magician is always fair fight
>Dark Magician
I guarantee you this deck can be infuriating. Not because it's strong, but because there always that chance one could catch you off guard on your shittiest day with the worst hand, and then you feel like a shitter because you just lost to a joke of a deck.
I can handle 99% of the cancer in this game but handrips are the single most degenerate mechanic ever conceived of
Back when Sprights and Tears was going rampant, the only infuriating portion of their turns taking forever even though I always had the winning cards in my hand.
gee I love every pendulum deck going into electrumite and BtP

It's not our fault there aren't more pendulum archetype-specific link monsters and even if there were if they didn't have an effect like electrumite or BtP that let us get a much needed scale or combo piece then we probably wouldn't play it over those anyway.
It's like Pend decks need link zones or something

Do you love searching and extending?
They saved the game
So are decks gonna be like this in a few days?

That Black person who was mindlessly telling people to run 1x TTT off of OCG lists he didn't understand, but was so sure about it is finally accidentally right, now.

Evenly hardly seems worth it anymore. We were only playing it before because Tear is immune to every other fricking boardbreaker in ygo
bro? your book of eclipse?
You know, I know that the nips and all the OCG wienersuckers here think Eclipse is so bad because everyone is on Ash 100% of the time, but in my experience it's really fricking good still. Trades one for one or just turns off all your opponent's shit. And not like you can't play Book of Moon alongside of it.
Yeah I didn't intend for that to be a meme. I think eclipse is still good and it's a beneficial one for one trade anyway

Maybe. It has the same problem with TTTalent.
What a fatty.

Another flawless victory. Lab player literally drew all his one-off traps and no solemn.
Are we not talking about rush duels anymore? I actually want to play it but I dunno how duel links works
Am I gonna have to grind every single character for 4 years until I get to rush or I can just be rush only and start immediately with the rush characters?
No one knows or cares.
Anyway.
You have to unlock worlds in Duel Links, but given everyone else who was in that position, it probably shouldn't take that long
I think you have to do the standard normal yugioh world first, but it doesn't take nearly that long to unlock.
Duster too, but yeah.
Alright I will give it try thanks friends
is book of moon one of the oldest cards that still sees competitive play
... and its consequences have been a disaster for Yugioh.
Sky Sktriker chads, we are SO back.

There, I fixed Yugioh.
What exactly did you fix?
We get the slow game and posturing and trading blows with weak monsters before going apeshit with your bosses T5 and you both have time to set yourselves up for the main event. We get best of both worlds. I’m just kidding, YGO is fine as is I wouldn’t frick with it, it’s my favorite game. Hell I say T1 player should still draw, sue me.
Honestly, if you couldn't special summon on the first turn so the going second player has time to set his trap cards, it would make trap hell of a lot more better and then we can just ban all the bullshit trap cards.

I still haven't found a deck I truly have fun playing. I've tried Branded, Labs, Mikanko, Swordsoul, Unchained, Kashtira, P.U.N.K., Purrely, Traptrix, Zombie pile with Eldlich mixed in, and Rikka.
Some are good, but unfun. Some are a little fun but I get tired quickly. Most I just play for a while and then drop. How the frick do you find a fun deck bros.
Try tearlaments oh wait no deck is dead
I like Branded because I read the lore so I have an emotional connection with the cards more than just "the counter trap that negates" or "the guy that pops"
You keep searching bro. You gotta start digging deep, and really go into whatever catches your attention first.
flower cardian is one of my favorite decks because i'm a gambling addict and i love wasting my opponent's time
Sounds like you need to seek decks outside the meta and the popular.
I recommend Salamangreat or Ninjas since they have structure decks available.
Try Tearlaments… then just choose a monster you like based on looks and build a deck based around it, whatever it might be.
>Not a single mixed archetype or pile deck
No wonder you're not having any fun.
Idk it's just a matter of finding something that clicks with you. Whenever I get really tired i find it fun to build weird or janky decks slopping archetypes with vague synergy together. Like Tearlaments Purrely
you will never have fun if you don't make your own deck. building and slowly tuning your deck IS the fun part
with that said, currently building a branded deck without any fusion lock card
Have you tried ninjas? I genuinely have fun with them. It's dirty cheap and versatile.

Every Gankeredditor says
Fricking unban Keldo and Kelbek, I guess they were busted in Tears or something but I needed them for my pet deck, I pretty much can’t use the deck now.
OCG Tear prior to the ban nuke had 1 card Chaos Ruler combos and Curious lines to guarantee a miller was sent
It needed multiple banlists and it still came crawling back
Because those stupid fricks took forever to ban Chaos Ruler.
*Merrli
No, it wasn't necessary. All Konami had to do was put in the rulebook that anyone caught using cards from Power of the Elements or Darkwing Blast is to be thrown into the Shadow Realm. They didn't have to interact with the banlist at all.

Um you do know that you usually don't have to win get the missions right? All the missions are usually just Do something 3 or 5 times. As long as you don't surrender you can get gems.
dude just lose for 3 months
If you are a new player, you get a bunch of new player missions which gives more than enough gems to make a good deck right away.
not enough
have a nice day homosexual weeb

you got filtered, I never paid a dime
you started when the game was actually fair and easy you fricking moron. try doing it in my shoes.

I play fricking Blue-Eyes and am doing just fine.
Skill issue.
dude just be a day 1 player!!!

you're drooling moron lol
No, seriously skill issue. My 3rd account is doing fine with just playing structure deck.
How do I get here…?
not him, but this game is really generous with gems. they gives you roughly 7,5k gems/month (not counting random loot boxes that gives you 5/8/25/100 per box)
if they ban spright elf, how many level 2s get unbanned?
free him
Post yfw even after all the Tearlament nukes they still won't bring him back
Spright would just do a Reprodocus line to get back Toad
they need to bring back foolish burial goods too for my fluffal deck

Level 3 EARTH Spellcaster Pendulum Effect Monster
ATK 1500
DEF 800
Pendulum Scale: 8
Pendulum Effect
You can only use the Pendulum Effect of this card’s name once per turn.
(1) If a face-up Fusion, Synchro, and/or Xyz Monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or an opponent’s card effect while this card is in the Pendulum Zone: You can add 1 Pendulum Monster with the same original Type as 1 of those monsters, from your Deck to your Extra Deck face-up.
Monster Effect
You can only use the (1)st monster effect of this card’s name once per turn.
(1) If this card is Normal or Pendulum Summoned: You can target 1 card in your Pendulum Zone; destroy both it and this card, and if you do, add 1 Level 4 or lower Pendulum Monster from your Deck to your hand.
(2) If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed: You can place it in your Pendulum Zone.

thats actually really good

Let me finish setting the scales
Now it's time to fuse

No
*toots*
I'll be ok with this two frickers if they stick to Predaplant only shit but everytime someone summons this two c**ts is some sort of ultra degenerate very long ass combo. Frick Lonefire Blossom.
Anon nobody plays these cards outside of predaplants what are you on about?
Please understand Predaplants need some way to put Predator counters and some way to fuse into Starving Venom using monsters on their field or we’re stuck with playing a garnet and hands that need a monsters to discard to do anything
I understand getting half your ED banished on turn 1 sucks and makes you want revenge, but what was he expecting with this?
Banished?
Oops, meant to say milled.

He was probably so confused and/or laughing his ass off. Let this be a lesson, never give up till the last card is played.
no i will continue to scoop the minute i see someone playing a deck i don't like
That's why you should either scoop immediately when you see something you don't like, or play it out completely.
Timer stalling is for Black folk, remember that.
I've really been having fun playing punk zombies its nonlinear and the more I play it deck the more consistent it seems with a really good end board. Only real weakness is if you don't have a way to make chaos dragon or the zombie vampire.
A pity the deck dies the second the next pack comes out
The chaos ruler turbo version felt kinda ass with 0 millers and grass dead, so I tried the ghost fusion version. It's ass in a different way but also much more boring. Zombies are suffering.
The ishizu card bans hurt a lot but you can still mill 9 to 12 per turn.
Id also prefer in archetype zombie cards to punk ones but theres nothing that can make a lvl 8 sychro and put another lvl 8 monster on the field for chaos dragon and zombie vamp
Yeah but that doesn't feel like enough. There's no single zombie name that fuses into kitkallos or some shit to do your entire line for you. You need to mill several different things in order to really get the ball rolling, and with so few mills, it feels ass now. Also with no grass, you usually just pass if you get handtrapped before you can reach ruler. Before you could run 60 and mill most of your deck without even opening grass thanks to millers but also have a funny "haha I win" button you could use even if your zeamin was ashed.
>Zombies are suffering
That's why they should stay dead
Can't suffer that way
Dunno how to feel about that. I love vampires but I fricking hate PUNKslop probably more than any other engine right now. Vampires need some more nutty legacy support, they were so close to printing Vampire Circular with Vampire Ghost.
I just took a huge shit. What deck should I play?
>opponent plays PUNK Tears
>huh that sounds neat
>check the cost for me to make it
>390 UR dust
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
it's also not very good or very interesting
It sounded like some neat synergy because foxy tune discards as effect for Tears and the deck can make zombie vampire and chaos ruler easily enough
There's just not much worth milling in tear anymore.
Don't listen to that gay. PUNK is downplayed so hard, probably the same playerbase as VW. The Chaos Ruler + Zombie Vampire combo is fricking moronicly good even if Tear is kneecapped. If you want to play PUNKslop, PUNK Kashtira is better.
It just feels really bricky unless you open exactly the semi-limited e-tele. Also random mills are weird in PUNK tear. You have no fricking millers, 1 tear kash (low value mill), 2 fusers, and then 3 scream 1 sulliek. All your PUNKs don't do anything on mill, and ze amin often fights for normal summon with reinoheart. What are you digging for to justify the inconsistency and frailness to handtraps that comes with PUNK tear? Milling a random snow? Milling those other 4s the special summon for free on mill? "Just open etele lmao" the deck.
>say it's downplayed so hard
>immediately after says it's kneecapped and that another version of PUNK is better
The version that doesn't even run Chaos ruler at that. Gamba punk is ass.
There's that Black person homosexual downplaying. There's only a single shit thing about the PUNK engine and that's the fusion.
I'm not downplaying anything. PUNK tear is not the best version of PUNK nor the best version of tear, chaos ruler is not a part of the combo used in kashtira variants of PUNK, and also the fusion is good and used in any PUNK deck except the chaos ruler turbo variants which, while these were always high roll memes, are not even good high roll memes anymore thanks to millers being deleted from the game. Imagine unironically saying the fusion is bad. You people will see some 60 card dogshit do well once and just assume this is actually a consistent strategy that should be taken seriously as anything but a gimmick, a gimmick that has been shat on every banlist over the past half year thanks to sharing cards with actually good decks. That's the only world in which I could see someone coming to think the fusion is bad, since those were the only versions that didn't run it.
I think he said the fusion is bad as in if you ash rising carp its donezo for the punk player. Or that guy could just play punk as en engine for chaos ruler/ vampire and don't really give a shit about rising carp.
Yes, rising carp is a huge choke point for punk if you go through it, but if you don't use it, foxy tune is a huge choke point. It raises the power level of your endboard if you have a way to check ash, and if your opponent ashes you early such as on ze amin or foxy, you can often still go into it instead of passing. Rising carp also make foxy tune and no other names turn into combo instead of a pass. It is an essential piece of the PUNK deck he said was better than PUNK tear, so I do not understand how you can say it is bad unless you just do not know the deck at all besides half-paying attention while other people play it.
>I think he said the fusion is bad as in if you ash rising carp its donezo for the punk player
This is what I meant. It's probably the only real game ending chokepoint, I am fair in my assessment of what is and isn't shit in this game and rising carp loses so much value when you hit it. But the whole rest of the engine, not so much and it is resilient and covers your archetype's ass really good. Also I'm not going to bother reading the other guy's dumb fricking takes, cry more about bricking with a fricking Pot of Greed field spell and about 10 starters.
it’s fricking impossible to win one match
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I dont care about PUNK or Punk discussion I played against a PUNK player in the event and he ended on one barone and the one imperm PUNK trap. He then let Branded Lost resolve and then tried to negate Branded Fusion and I laughed all the way to Mirrorjade and then he surrendered.
Nice ass.
yo is he wearing diaper?
>gay picks purrely going first
why not go second for the happiness otk using the deck that has endless openers
Because if everyone is playing lab going first and other annoying ass floodgates
>picked mikanko for going second
>had outs for his every play
>eventually he surrendered knowing he folds to kaijus
feels fricking good, frick purrely homosexuals
Have fun getting your turn skipped by Drytron or FTK'ed bullshit
Wow dryton on Kaiju meta
I hate Mikanko because only nips and chinks play them and its impossible to ever win against them because they just DC you if they fail to OTK you.
>it actually is nonstop galaxy eyes slop
what a good and cool event
>draw nibiru AFTER i go second
nice fricking game
When will we have an event that is FUN to play and not just a rush to cheese all the rewards using the most unfun decks known to man?
Yugioh players will never not cheese. They will never not take the easiest route possible. They will never play fun decks. Yugioh is not for fun. You need to get that out of your head right now. This is business.
Did anyone actually get anything from their free pack from tryout duels? I didn't get shit.
Only time I ever got anything was the last trial duel and I can't even remember what it was
They really need to guarantee an sr for these
Thrust looks like it would be great in Dinomorphia, shame they don't have a secret pack.
Normal Summon Therizia
Search your trap
Set 4 pass
How exactly do you force your opponent to use a monster effect?
Hey hey hey. That would only be in 10% of games you open both Therizia and Thrust. The other 23% of the time you draw Thrust you wouldn't have any effect to bait them into using an effect. Maybe they'll ash your Fossil Dig if they're dumb.
>if they're dumb
That's really not a good benchmark of whether a card is good, isn't it? Ash is supposed to be for Domain/Frenzy.
The only triggers I can imagine would be someone veilering your Therizia or standby phase Shifter/Maxx C.
>Using lab avatar
>Even Mikanko gays are making me go second
Maybe I should use a cyber dragon avatar...
They will still make you go second.
Funny how the good ol' NUMERONUMBA1 name still give me alot of going first.

BEST Vaylantz Pendulum Combo I HAVE EVER SEEN. HOW????
how long til fenrir gets the rope?
It took Kelbek 7 months
Is OCG Tearlament still alive?
Yeah, it's only dead in master duel
Decklists without Chaos Ruler?
https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/kashtira-ishizu-tearlaments-367851
Kashtear seems to be the most popular thing
I refuse to believe Merrli was a more significant hit than fricking Kitkallos
cant use mill 8 merrli+kitkat combo
cant use merrli fusion eff
cant use sprind to dump merlii into kitkat into something
cant use elf to play on opp turn
I never really felt like Kitkallos was particularly more egregiously strong than the rest of the package, and at this point I'm convinced she's like Elf. Broken like dozens of other things in this game, but people think they're far stronger than they are because they got banned in other formats.
Who knows. New banlist that bans Chaos Ruler isn't in effect yet. People are theorycrafting variants like Danger and Horus to make Zombie Vampire, but they all look like dogshit to me with the Ishizu millers ban. OCG will prob still play this brick deck because they are obsess with Tear for some reason
>hand so godly the exotroony had no choice but to KNEEL and scoop out of respect
