Kinda stopped following after the go rush era

valid cave
#

they have some fusion support now that makes you want to play them together (tho its not competitive), in the past they didn't though so it's more like bluetooth replaced redboot in good dragon decks

#

(after lightwave came out and made bluetooth better)

uncut badger
#

I see

uncut badger
#

How relevant was pierce?

soft nexus
#

Not as relevant as I first thought.

valid cave
#

do you mean the spell named pierce, or?

uncut badger
#

Yes

#

I do mean the spell

valid cave
#

well, it was released in the first main rush set ever

#

there was no tournament documentation back then

uncut badger
#

I see

#

So it saw no play after we started getting tournament results, then?

valid cave
#

yeah

#

by a subjective assessment: its pretty mid

#

you'd usually just run backrow removal to answer dark revelation instead

#

eventually cranked to ten came out, and that was way better and saw a lot of play

#

because it serves the dual purpose of letting you boost atk over 2500 bodies like dragias/yamiruler and deal piercing damage

woeful palm
#

can i ask a question?

#

how exactly are people playing rush duel online

#

you know aside from duel links

#

cause i've been on duelingbook, edopro, omega, and i never see any rush duel games being hosted

valid cave
#

edopro usually

#

i see rush games pretty regularly but theyre not as common as tcg/ocg

#

you can join a rush dedicated server to find games more consistently!

woeful palm
#

are they any popular ones?

valid cave
#

i can dm you a link?

woeful palm
#

sure

tardy mica
#

where do folks generally get their rush lists from
I'm not even good at deckbuilding in master format, rush is a different beast entirely

Executor of Dark Magic, lv7 dark spellcaster/effect 2500/2100
[requirement] mill 1

desert cosmos
#

shuffle 10 spells to destroy a level 8 or lower
fuck no

#

on the bright side yay, another dark magician on field

valid cave
#

im unsure what the fuck no means here

#

cause while it sounds impractical, funny enough thats probably far more useful than the dark magician name change with how dm is currently being played

#

also, lord of galactica!

#

funny enough this got nerfed

#

[REQUIREMENT] Send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard.
[EFFECT] 1 face-up Galaxy/Spellcaster/Machine/Dragon Type monster with 4000 or more ATK and 4000 or more original ATK on your field loses 4000 ATK until the end of this turn. Then, you can destroy up to 4 cards on your opponent's field.

You can Maximum Summon this card together with "Super Galaxy King Lord of Galactica [L]" and "Super Galaxy King Lord of Galactica [R]".
[REQUIREMENT] During the turn you Tribute Summoned this card by Tributing a Galaxy Type Normal Monster.
[EFFECT] Add 2 Level 10 monsters from your Graveyard to your hand. Then, return this card to the owner's hand.

[REQUIREMENT] Maximum Mode
[EFFECT] Send Normal Monsters from your hand to the Graveyard whose [total Levels equal the Level of 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field]. This card gains ATK equal to [the ATK of that monster on your opponent's field] until the end of this turn.

(its like anime, but the left piece now wants original atk too)

tardy mica
lofty socket
#

yeah that seems like a really shit maximum monster

lusty venture
#

ooh, the middle piece adds back the other 2 if you tribute summon it

native osprey
#

wait that maximum has no protection at all?

tardy mica
#

Yeah

#

It’s been a trend lately

native osprey
#

I guess it'd be fine if the activated effects were good but lol

tardy mica
#

The sea serpent and pyro maximums don’t have built in protections

#

Yeah this is worse than Yggdrago

native osprey
#

it's so odd. maximums are flashy so they're inherently good chase cards but why would you make one nowadays that's THIS bad lol

tardy mica
#

Most maximums usually aren’t that bad
Galaxy decks that aren’t the voidvelgr stuff just seem so weird to play
Like do you just turbo out eternal Galactica oblivion

wind harbor
#

Having a super anime moment reliant card isn't bad in the anime, but why they wouldn't even buff it in the IRL release after waiting so long to even release it in the first place? That is a bit weird

tardy mica
#

i wanna try the fish stuff, anybody have a list for it I can lift?

tardy mica
#

cool

thank

#

i lost game 1 to getting magic cylindered after missing lethal

#

i cant send a picture of the field spell because apparently discord thinks its explicit.

#

those waves are a little too curvy, eh?

#

well org translated it fast anyway so

lusty venture
#

there is the anti maximum field spell 😄

native osprey
#

playing the switch game I wonder if the stat lines of wyrm excavator were the result of them first trying to address maximum problems. unlike yggdrago and yugas mech thing the individual parts are tolerable normal summons for constructor wyrm tributes or constructor ambush, and the level 10 has an acceptable 2500 attack and still gets the secondary effect from cranked to ten. it's not enough to make it a great deck but it still feels a heck of a lot more cohesive than the other two maximum decks in this format

lusty venture
#

I still need to make a maximum build for galaxy and a more DM of DM deck now that the new level 7 warlock guy got printed

lusty venture
# tardy mica thank

btw, if you wanna add the new field spell, I'd take out 1 fusion (regular) and 1 dolphin treasure for 2 of the field spell

#

But like in the side deck

lusty venture

https://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_detail.php?page=details&id=1767 <@&681691144509194284> the over rush rare reprint of kp15 is esperade! and she brings more psychic support with her!

Star's Hand Cameralady, lv2 light psychic/effect 500/0
[requirement] during the turn this card was normal or special summoned
[effect] mill 2. if you have "esperade the smashing superstar" on your field, you can destroy 1 spell/trap on your opponent's field

Miracle Pick, spell

stuck summit
#

miracle pick seems pretty good

valid cave
#

yeah these are pretty insane

tardy mica
#

Trap is solid

native osprey
#

this fucking rocks

#

literally

#

what does omega mean in rush btw?

valid cave
#

"omega psychic" is a monster type, just like psychic, dragon, spellcaster, etc
its used only on certain fusion monsters that use psychics as material

native osprey
#

oh really

#

I noticed on neuron some type that seemed exclusive to fusions

#

this must've been it

valid cave
#

yup
there's 5 of them

native osprey
#

is there only a psychic equivalent?

valid cave
#

cyborg, high dragon, omega psychic, magical knight, and celestial warrior

native osprey
#

ah I see

#

sounds... superfluous? idk lol

valid cave
#

yeah frankly it doesnt seem very well thought out

#

and its also undersupported, we haven't had a new type in ages and only a few select decks are getting them

native osprey
#

it sounds more like branding, just something that sounds cool

#

which is fine just funny

#

mild inconvenience for searches I guess

tardy mica
#

it's pretty much just to exclude fusions from generic type support

valid cave
tardy mica
#

True

tardy mica
#

man I've been having unfortunate luck with the fish deck
just got completely demolished by sevens fusion celeb rose

#

decided to try just kinda, throwing together a voltcondor deck

#

it's probably not well built, but could be worse

tardy mica
#

BIRD UP

dusk sleet
#

everybody knows that the bird is the word

tardy mica
#

Yes I know mountain isn’t good but the rush art is good and birb

tardy mica
#

so far the voltcondor stuff feels fine but slightly lacking

#

of course next game opponent gets their maximum super early lmao

#

and because a maximum monster is only 1 monster, I can't even use my only out on it

tardy mica
#

i keep losing to blaze fiends because I have no way to enable voltcondor against a field of 1 monster

#

fuck

#

that is really goddamn annoying lmao

#

to keep losing games because this deck just folds to maximums

#

why does fuckin
"type change ray" exist without an attribute equivalent

valid cave
#

it's a little less versatile though since it can't choose monsters on your own field like the type version does

tardy mica
#

yeah but with the voltcondor stuff you don't really need to

#

i probably should still run luminous parrot, but attribute shift bomb looks good yeah

pseudo burrow
#

How are Zombies in Rush btw

tardy mica
#

not great

#

as a deck at least

#

there are a few pretty good individual zombies

#

man I am not good at this game lmao, misplaying
idk why i feel like I've been misplaying a lot lately

#

zombie firework is a bonkers card but there's just not enough support for zombies as a real deck

tardy mica
#

god i hate dark magician players
they get their shitty DM era anime monster with yearly support, and 4 copies of mirror force

#

so they get to play just as braindead as master format

native osprey
#

speaking of zombies i only recently discovered you can loop shadow lurker with the sportsball dragons and its been a really fun control pet deck with yamiruler

#

pretty satisfying to just nuke 4 S/Ts in one turn

#

i hope that DL gives shadow lurker a skill to make it more viable

valid cave
#

...you want to make it MORE viable??

#

what they should do with it is limit it to 1 and halve its effect damage lava golem style

#

its a horrid uninteractive card that's been in the meta since printing (which was a long time ago), commonly a 3-of in competitive decks

#

its long overstayed its welcome

tardy mica
#

yeah shadow lurker has literally always seen play

#

it's like

#

the only good zombie card

native osprey
#

I had absolutely no idea lol

#

they put it in almost no decks in the switch game

tardy mica
#

thats because it's so good

#

and NPC duelists don't get to be that good

#

also it's used by one specific guy in the anime

#

who got exactly 1 duel and it was against luke

aren't people often gonna attack with their lower attack monsters first anyway? and it just gets destroyed by those. idk current meta though so I'm wondering

Huh no summoned skull fusion?!

desert cosmos
#

not yet

lusty venture
#

odd, guess it is just future proofing for when they make new summoned skull support?

stuck summit
#

probably

desert cosmos
desert cosmos
#

@lusty venture read the fusion spell. it has to use 1 of the 3 listed names and it can only use 2 materials.
you don't need to list summoned skull on the fusion spell for black skull dragon since red-eyes black dragon is listed too.

#

the reason Meteor Dragon is listed on the fusion spell is so you can fusion Metor Swarm Dragon since it uses neither Red-Eyes nor Summoned Skull

#

So a Fusion that is Summoned Skull + something (that isn't Red-Eyes or Meteor Dragon is very likely

lusty venture
#

Yes, it's future proofing

#

which was my point

#

its there just in case they print one

Ayyyy Seiyaryu

#

I like this dragon

#

It's not very useful, but I liked it's design

valid cave
#

this thing's so heccn goofy lookin

#

in rush itll definitely see play tho, its got good typing and stats

lusty venture
#

surely it will get support

lusty venture
stuck summit
#

yeah but 5 headed dragon decks still run the second best level 7 dragon vanilla

#

so they'll probably run this too

valid cave
#

so if you're not playing its fusions then you'll run this instead

#

and yeah, even decks that run fusions still play hyozanryu too so this is an option over that

lusty venture
tardy mica
#

More wyrm stuff, cool

lusty venture
#

OH DAMN thats a good wyrm

tardy mica
#

Been meaning to try out the fire wyrm stuff

#

Just never bothered hunting down a list

uncut badger
#

Ignoring the fact that cont spells dont exist, would post errata future fusion see play?

tardy mica
#

No

#

Most fusions don’t have more than 2 materials

valid cave
#

we talkin at 3 or legend?

#

if legend, it's an easy "absolutely not"

#

if it's at 3, probably yes

tardy mica
#

If it doesn’t take legend slot dragons might play it yeah

uncut badger
#

I see

tardy mica
#

It would set up a lot of stuff for the better fusion spells

valid cave
#

backrow removal is plentiful, legend strike in particular

#

but it definitely reads "draw legend strike or die"

#

after 1 turn passes, you bin sevens road + dragias (for a followup wonder fusion), or maybe bin your legend card to gy as the only search from deck in rush, or anything else you'd like to have in gy, definitely very strong just as a consistency piece

#

if it survives the second turn you probably literally win on the spot, but the opp would have to have some catastrophic luck (or greed) to not be able to legend strike it in 2 turns

#

(of course, burning backrow removal on future fusion means not having backrow removal for other traps, like, say, mirror force)

#

might be a funny combo to run future fusion in a galaxy deck together with voidvelgr shroud to make it immune to backrow removal

#

that's delving into the meme territory, and galaxy can't capitalize as well on binning things to gy
but threatening gigantomachia or eternal for free is still funny

uncut badger
#

What about gold sarc?

valid cave
#

uhhhh

#

hard to say

#

inherently there's no banishing in rush, so there is no synergy there, it's just a slow search from deck

#

and 2 turns passing is enough time that youd draw 10 cards deep in that time anyway

tardy mica
#

Probably even more

valid cave
#

but it'd still be the only search from deck in the game

#

idk, it feels very slow and does nothing when played, and you can't predict what your hand will look like 2 turns from now

#

it feels very weak

#

but at the same time? 5 copies of wonder fusion. can't ignore that.

#

but no, probably not

#

future fusion is a faster search, and can search several things at once, and simultaneously represents a threat on board that needs to be answered

#

even if its less versatile than gold sarc

uncut badger
#

Sometimes i feel like rush runs into a problem where it just prints stuff for months but the meta remains the exact same

#

Idk how accurate it is or if i'm just biased

valid cave
#

what was the last set released that didnt have a big impact on the metagame?

uncut badger
#

Perhaps i'm just tired of seeing sevens wonder fusion, i guess

valid cave
#

which was, like, 6 sets back

valid cave
#

i play mostly in tournaments and almost never on edo ladder, mind, so i dont know what decks people bring

but wonder is in a pretty bad position rn

This is the new best wyrm field spell right

The 100 ATK difference between this and the pink one seems negligible to giving piercing and not reducing defense

this is someone you ran into on edo random?

tardy mica
#

yes

valid cave
#

yeah ive seen this type of deck being theorized a bit

#

with the dark magician stuff, it's actually competitive when built that way

#

with psychic, can't tell if it's good or not

tardy mica
#

i'm just confused why they're only on 2 ship of seven treasures

#

and including the DM draw spell seems like they just

#

dropped the dark magician stuff

#

just played my first game with demolition wyrms

#

it's probably not an ideal list but deck is kinda fun

#

and lost a game because of magic cylinder and dark galaxy getting 3 copies of dark hole

#

dark hole device is fuckin absurd

#

well those were some frustrating games against dark galaxy

#

some really frustrating games

tardy mica
#

dark hole is just the bane of my existence in rush duels lately

#

and dark revelation is still stupid

lusty venture

OH?! The anime gave celeb revelation 2 👀

#

hoping it gets printed

#

unnerfed

tardy mica

Oh wow that’s brutal

uncut badger
#

Holy shit

lusty venture

also me reading the anime cards and having no context to the screen shots cheems

tardy mica
#

Babyfication arc

lusty venture
#

children card game joke here

tardy mica
#

jeez the demolition wyrm stuff just
feels not very good?

#

maybe I just built the deck poorly

tardy mica
#

I am just not playing well tonight lol

tardy mica
#

wow the meteor dragon stuff is

I am constantly reminded of the fact I am apparently not great at this game

tardy mica
#

and lost to the gaia stuff
I am tired of seeing DM era uglies get to be playable

#

maybe I need to just go to that netdecking site so I don't have to lean on my own bad deckbuilding and only have my skill to blame lol

tardy mica
#

I kinda want to try meteor dragon

#

does anyone have a list for it?
i realize there's a good chance not but still

#

and now i'm losing to the level 7 psychic deck

why does this game hate me lmao

#

i realize I'm just rambling and filling up the channel with my salty ranting but man it's annoying to be awful at a format you enjoy

#

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE GHOST CYCLONE

valid cave
tardy mica
#

it's fine, no rush
I'm mostly just trying to get over the recurring pile of salt that's been building all day for me

uncut badger
valid cave
#

(note: this deck was made prior to meteorite chick being revealed)

tardy mica
#

if I was in a better mood I'd laugh at that

valid cave
#

and then 2 (more recent) takes on a dragonic slayer variant

tardy mica
#

kk
more focused on the meteor dragon stuff since that's a somewhat nostalgic card for me

#

that second list is really weird
it has the meteor drake fusions without actually running meteor drake

valid cave
#

well, thats the thing with the extra deck

#

you can just put literally anything in it, the space isnt tight

tardy mica
#

i guess yeah

#

thanks for the lists, I really appreciate it

valid cave
#

yw!

uncut badger
#

Btw spirawr

valid cave
#

ye?

uncut badger
#

Do mind sharing the list with 30+ spells you used against summer recently?

valid cave
#

this isnt the actual decklist i used against her, but its my most recent build of it

#

technically, theres only 29 spells here

uncut badger
#

Thanks

tardy mica
#

of course when I try to play that level 7 psychic deck, my opponent opens barrier statue

#

but when I go against it, they open as many ghost cyclones as they need and all the draw cards they could ask for

tardy mica
#

this deck is so fucking bad how do people win with it

#

because of course when I get around to resolvinb catrois chance, I mill 3 monsters off it while already having one in graveyard
I think this shuffler just hates my guts

dusk sleet
#

These episodes are getting weirder and weirder

uncut badger
#

Still cant get weirder than the arc v inflation episode

dusk sleet
#

Man, getting back to playing is hard

#

Figured I'd make a deck around Gaia the Fierce Knight, but there's way too many cards to choose fromn

dusk sleet
#

I think this is the best I can do, insofar as the decks go

dusk sleet
#

Now, I've not played very much rush duels, but I think this is either playable, or just a right mess no matter what

#

I however did some looking around to see what actually works, so nothing here is unusable, at the very least.

#

Still feels super weird that Polymerization is a LEGEND card, with the actual fusion spell only being able to fuse monsters on the field

valid cave
#

errr wait

#

the veteran retrains are designed to fusion summon from the graveyard using their original normal monster forms as the other material

#

but youre running regular fusion spells instead, and not playing their normal monster forms besides a single curse of dragon?

dusk sleet
#

Seems so. I did notice that and just used a single Polymerization, mostly cause it can fuse things in the hand.

valid cave
#

also, no, the music princess fusion spell can't actually resolve here

dusk sleet
#

Though, now that you mention it, I probably ought to have those normal monsters, too

#

...Ah

valid cave
#

gaia normally runs no fusion spells, only using the retrains' effects

#

(usually, you dont play veteran gaia at all, only original gaia and veteran curse, since they have the same effect but veteran gaia is higher level and so harder to summon)

dusk sleet
#

Ahhh

#

Alright, take 2!

#

I think I only put that random level 4 dragon in there, cause i had no idea what else to do to make this a 40 card deck.

#

At the least I know good cards when i see them, so I'm certain the choice of generic LEGEND and limited cards are good

valid cave
#

not sure why the treasure dragons are in here, you dont have a good way to revive them (monster reborn into treasure dragon would be a waste)

#

i suggest phoenix dragon

dusk sleet
#

Gotcha!

#

Little unsure why I got those 3 of Gaia the Dragon Champion either... just felt weird to not fill up the extra deck, I guess.

#

I guess it can be a Plan B in case I need a Dragon monster and not a Magical Knight...?

valid cave
#

well, there's no reason not to play 3 copies of everything, your extra deck isn't tight

dusk sleet
#

Righto

valid cave
#

but importantly, several of the gaia support cards specifically name gaia the dragon champion

dusk sleet
#

...Wait, you meant Phoenix Dragon, or Phoenix Dragoon?

#

P sure it was Dragon, cause the effect seems spot-on

#

But just making sure

valid cave
#

the field spell makes only vanilla dragon champion pierce, the revive trap revives only the vanilla dragon champion, the flip trap only destroys if you control vanilla dragon champion, and launcher turtle destroys an extra card only if you have vanilla dragon champion

dusk sleet
#

Ahhh, gotcha

#

Right shame we can't destroy Castle of Dark Illusions this way just yet

valid cave
#

so yeah, you do want to summon regular dragon champion often in this deck because everything supports it, on any turn that you can fusion summon but don't particularly need the retrain's effect

dusk sleet
#

Ooooh, alright

#

So, I guess when you put it that way, the Magical Knight, Battle Ruler is Plan B, whereas the Dragon Champion is plan A

valid cave
#

honestly no, battle ruler is plan A, dragon champion is usually plan B

dusk sleet
#

Ah

valid cave
#

like, if you can set up a fusion summon on turn 1, then you summon vanilla champion as setup cause battle ruler's effect doesn't do anything then

#

or, if your opponent controls no backrows when you want to fusion summon, but you want to run over their stuff by battle instead of attacking directly

dusk sleet
#

Good point

valid cave
#

or sometimes if you just have some cards in play that need dragon champion, like if you want to pitch it to turtle

#

(although gaia decks usually don't play turtle either, or the revive trap)

valid cave
dusk sleet
#

Ahhh, gotcha. I might cut Catapult Turtle down to 1 then

#

Thanks for the advice~.

#

Always did like Gaia the Dragon Champion, even more than most other old cards from the old Duel Monster days

valid cave
#

the thing with catapult turtle is that it doesnt do anything if you dont have a fusion up

#

and also you usually dont want to pitch your fusion to gy cause you tend not to have much followup after that

dusk sleet
#

Righto

valid cave
#

like, if a card effect says "Send 1 face-up Fusion Monster from your field to the Graveyard." then its gotta be pretty heccn game-winning to justify a requirement like that

dusk sleet
#

No fooling.

#

Sounds more like a desperate time to do that effect than a game-winner

#

Like, you'd have to be very far behind to justify that

#

...Also, I never would have ever guessed that Change Slime would be repurposed into support for Gaia the Fierce Knight. Wow.

valid cave
#

yeah its super goofy! i love it

#

its not very good rn but it'd be cool if we got a third gaia fusion with generic materials to maybe make change slime a little more useful

dusk sleet
#

Yeah!

#

Maybe like, some kinda Black Luster Soldier tie-in too

#

Maybe, I know that BLS is related to Gaia, but how they could go about it is a mystery

#

I might try out making a Cyber Dragon deck next. At the least I know a lot more about Cyber Dragon, so my experience with it in the other format could carry over well enough

#

This one took a little less time to make. I feel prouder of this deck though, so I'm confident I made some good choices.

#

...Though, I'm debating if Cyber Falcon is worthwhile, since it just doesn't do anything but become fusion material.

valid cave
#

<@&681691144509194284> interstellive! and also a random vanilla fusion.

well specifically

its giga

dusk sleet
#

Oh, no wait, it's not just Gagagigo, - yeah

#

Giga Gagagigo

tender orioleBOT
lusty venture
#

this is because Kozaky was upgrading giga gagagigo

#

and the evacuation devices were used to quickly eject gagagigo (so he can get back to charmer lore) and Kozaky's friends so that they dont get blown up with the rest of the lab in an successful attempt to stop the koaki meiru

dusk sleet
#

So, he gets upgraded, and Kozaky just... is like, see ya later, bye! And just, punts him out of his lab. Wow

#

What a jerk

dusk sleet
#

Ah

#

I... might have forgotten these bits of lore

Haven't reviewed them in awhile

Yeah, I replied a little late, my bad

valid cave

Black Dragon's Archfiend, lv9 dark fiend/effect 3200/2500
"summoned skull" + "red-eyes black dragon"
[requirement] mill 1
[effect] all monsters on your field gain 500 atk until the end of this turn. then, you can destroy all face-up monsters on your opponent's field with 3100 or less atk

Battle of Skull Archfiend, lv7 dark fiend/effect 2500/1200
this card's name becomes "summoned skull" while in your hand or graveyard
[requirement] discard 1
[effect] this card's name becomes "summoned skull" this turn. then, you can special summon 1 level 7 or lower normal monster from your graveyard

Engine of Destruction, spell
[requirement] you have "blue-eyes white dragon" on your field
[effect] add 1 level 8 light dragon monster from your graveyard to your hand. if you added "blue-eyes bright dragon" with this effect, you can also add "the ultimate blue-eyes legend" from your graveyard to your hand

Compulsory Evacuation Device, trap (legend)
[requirement] when either player normal or special summons a monster, or after your opponent activates a spell
[effect] return 1 monster on either field to the hand

dusk sleet
#

Didn't see it before I finished. Anywho...

lusty venture
#

ah it is a new blue-eyes spell

dusk sleet
#

Yeah, pretty cool trap card

#

Also wow, Summoned Skull ends up hijacking who's in charge in the fusion monster. That's crazy

lusty venture
#

there is your "why is summoned skull listed here" on meteor flare

dusk sleet
#

So instead of a fiendish dragon, it's like, a draconic fiend or something

#

I will say this, this whole new bit I learned on Compulsory made me like Kozaky a little more. Or at least, he is a little less morally dubious

#

Right shame he can't code to save his life, as seen on Overworked

lusty venture
#

Kozaky lore quickly explained: He is scientist for dark world, is responsible for gagagigo's evolution to giga gagagigo. Thinks "Hey what if I made this unstable ore into super soldiers for darkworld", overworks himself to succeed with koaki meiru. When it quickly went bad, ejected his friends and giga gagagigo and then blew up his lab to stop Koaki meiru

desert cosmos
#

name change in both hand and grave at the same time
... holy powercreep

Ah, cool. At least he's got scruples in spite of meddling in god's domain with those things

#

in both hand and graveyard, you mean?

lusty venture
#

btw the best of the koaki meirus (the rock stun ones)? Was the first of the koaki meiru's in lore

dusk sleet
#

Ah, yeah, makes sense

#

The Prototype one is a rock monster if memory serves, on top of the stun ones probably coming along later

#

I assume the last was the magnum opus, Maximus

lusty venture
#

the bigger ones were last yeah

dusk sleet
#

Like, somehow Crusader is a Beast-Warrior Monster, in spite of looking like either a Fiend or Zombie

desert cosmos
dusk sleet
#

Anyways, rush stuff

desert cosmos
#

this summoned skull is the first to do hand + grave in 1 line for rush

valid cave
#

im not contradicting you

#

your original message said it's the first thing to do it in "hand and field"

#

and i think you meant to say "hand and graveyard"

dusk sleet
#

I find it funny how we may have been expecting Black Skull Dragon

#

But then we get this

valid cave
#

that's why people are pointing out moon dragon (and bright dragon too)

#

which do it in hand and field, but not grave

desert cosmos
dusk sleet
#

And it's more like you slapped aspects of Red-Eyes Black Dragon onto Summoned Skull, instead of the other way around

lusty venture
#

they didnt want meteor flare to have another vanilla target

dusk sleet
#

Oh, right

lusty venture
valid cave
dusk sleet
#

Wait, isn't Meteor Flare like, a trap card in the usual game?

#

Or is this a different Meteor Flare?

valid cave
#

meteor flare fusion

dusk sleet
#

Ahhhh

desert cosmos
#

i do wonder what legend we play now tbh.

dusk sleet
#

Yeah, I was thinking about the one card that deals effect damage, I wasn't aware this existed

desert cosmos
#

the summoned skull makes red-eyes better

dusk sleet
#

And wow, that's a really powerful fusion spell

desert cosmos
#

it just revives it

dusk sleet
lusty venture
#

you play summoned skull for sure

dusk sleet
#

Halfway tempted to make a deck around this

valid cave
#

yeah the red-eyes stuff doesnt synergize with red-eyes itself at all

#

so summoned skull is definitely way better

#

that, or you can just play vanity's fiend, since it works with ecliceras and it has a good effect

dusk sleet
#

Man, even in Rush Duels, Summoned Skull just ends up the coolest

#

King of beatdown decks in the past, still really cool today, but even cooler in Rush duels

desert cosmos
#

it's funny how this non-legend summoned skull is way better than the og

dusk sleet
#

Blame stat standards

#

Level 6 with 2500 atk was admittedly really big back when the game was new

#

Most level 7-8 didn't even get that much

valid cave
#

well, it is still 2 tributes

desert cosmos
#

yeh but it revives shit

#

and you can just shit it with mirror

dusk sleet
#

It's funny how it's treated as Summoned Skull in the hand or GY

#

Usually cards like that have to be on the field or in the GY to get the name changing thing done

desert cosmos
#

well one is for the fusion spell and the other is for mirror

#

that's why both hand and GX

dusk sleet
valid cave
uncut badger
#

If you think about it

#

It's funny that compulse can't trigger on attack declaration

lusty venture
#

So once your opponent normal/special summons, or right after your opponent's spell resolves

dusk sleet
#

Alright, so if I'm right in this assumption, these newer types exclusive to fusion monsters really are just a step-up from another kind of type

#

I'm assuming: Machine -> Cyborg, Spellcaster or Warrior -> Magical Knight, Fairy or Warrior -> Celestial Warrior, Psychic -> Omega Psychic, and Dragon -> High Dragon

#

Also noticed these kinds of cards end up with effects that let you choose between which to activate, which is cool

valid cave
#

yeah, they're all type combinations
although some of them are more specific than others
its like, cyborg: machine+anything, magical knight: spellcaster+anything, celestial warrior: warrior+fairy, omega psychic: psychic+psychic, high dragon: dragon+dragon

#

is what it appears to be

dusk sleet

Pretty cool!

was afk

dusk sleet
#

Alllright, just gotta make a deck right fast, I may have an idea

dusk sleet
#

Alright @lusty venture , should be ready

#

I guess I need to look for Lemonade! ?

dusk sleet
#

Thanks for the duel, Summer!

#

If you ever need an opponent, I'm around!

lusty venture
#

That was such a fantastic duel 😄

dusk sleet
#

Yee

#

I'll try to post a decklist, I figured it'd be a good prize for your victory

lusty venture
#

I'll post my psychic list to

dusk sleet
#

Observe! The terrors of the deep!

#

...Yeah, mine is likely very much a WIP

lusty venture
#

I dont know about resolve, its a nice damage manipulator with an occasional revive, but feel like I could switch it out for some battle traps+a legend trap

dusk sleet
#

But I think it did well enough

lusty venture
#

you did pretty well

dusk sleet
#

Ah, cool list!

#

D'aww, thanks

lusty venture
#

this is the list I rock for wave fusion, note big magurom still has the wrong name (but it's kinda obvious on the fusion on which one is it's fusion)

dusk sleet
#

Ah, cool. I'll be sure to refer to it later!

#

And yeah, if you need an opponent, I can be around when you're looking for a more casual duel.

lusty venture
#

raging waves is a bit of a flex spot, could throw it in the side deck and replace it with big ocean easily.

dusk sleet
#

It was originally gonna be a deck around Umi, but considering how I can't have my fish ammunition have too much ATK, I opted for Beeg Umi

#

It was a worthy successor to Orca Mega Fortress of Darkness, at any rate. Def will look into Psychic decks as well!

lusty venture
#

this was what I thought you were gonna summon when I saw the 2 tributes

dusk sleet
#

Oh wow, that would be pretty cool

#

I might see if I can include it.

#

Also I would like to point out that spell card's artwork

#

Just, the best

lusty venture
#

the other psychic deck I have, 5friend

lusty venture
dusk sleet
#

Yaaa

#

I do like how the Psychic types in Rush actually go back to their roots on what the type was about: LP management and taking risks with resources

#

Only instead of creepy brain-related stuff, it's musicians shredding

lusty venture
#

funny enough, 5friends doesnt do a lot of LP changing outside staple romance pick

#

it does have soulcharge at home tho

dusk sleet
#

Ooh, cool

lusty venture
dusk sleet
#

Neat how the art is a bunch of audition papers

#

Guessing what show they run is very much for the best of the best

lusty venture
#

NO WAY

#

THATS THE ONE TRAP RIGHT?!

#

it is

#

Celeb revelation is real @valid cave

lusty venture
#

Level 3 is celeb rose enchanter

#

idk what it does tho

#

Did you hate dark revelation? Welcome to the sequel

dusk sleet
#

...I really thought this was Gagaga stuff for a moment.

#

Welp

lusty venture
#

well time to get to work

#

uploading these

dusk sleet
#

Also wow, these are some names for equip spells. They be scary.

lusty venture
#

they puns

#

uploads done

#

now to make a few adjustments

#

oh wait forgot the enchanter

#

there

#

@dusk sleet you up to rush duel real quick?

dusk sleet
#

Oh yeah, I can try another one right fast.

lusty venture
#

alright hosting (it will be in customs, but only using pre-release stuff)

dusk sleet
#

Righto, gimme a sec so I can get things situated~

lusty venture
#

oops accidentally clicked out of DB

#

ok there, hosting

dusk sleet
#

So, how were the cards?

lusty venture
#

pretty nice

dusk sleet
#

...And I'm really ashamed to have just misplaced the extra deck in the side deck. AAaaaaaa

lusty venture
#

it happens, tomorrow lets duel some more. For now DB is a bit too laggy 😅 server is having a rough night prob

dusk sleet
#

Might as well show it off while I'm here! And sure, I'll be good to go if you need to try new stuff out.

#

I feel like if I did remember the extra deck, things would have turned out a little differently. Maybe. But then again, I'm still pretty much an amateur to the rush duels.

lusty venture
#

kinda wish I got to pull out one of the darkness fusions, but never drew paparazzi

dusk sleet
#

I think Graceful Charity's a really great kinda spell card here, honestly

#

Couldn't think of something I really wanted insofar as Gaia was concerned, so I threw it in with this deck after the last duel

lusty venture
#

these being those fusions

dusk sleet
#

The theming here is pretty spot-on

#

Evidently all of the Celeb Rose monsters are LIGHT attribute, but this one outlier is a DARK monster instead

#

What did they mean by this? I guess the Paparazzi can be pretty annoying at times.

tardy mica
#

a lot of characters got "darkness" monsters that are materials for their new fusions

dusk sleet
#

Ah, I see

dusk sleet
dusk sleet
#

Y'know, it's pretty refreshing how so many fusion monsters currently require very specific materials

#

And yet they remain fusion monsters that unlike the stuff you saw in like, Vol.3 of the OCG, you actually would want to use them

#

Like yeah, we still got stuff not exactly worth considering like say, Flame Swordsman or Labyrinth Tank, but there's so much more fusion monsters that can be game-changers

soft nexus
dusk sleet
#

Feels like I don't use Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight.

#

Like, I know the effect is alright, and easier to use in Rush Duels, but it just doesn't do anything for me

#

Feels more like a generic card than a part of a whole strategy

valid cave
#

yeah it has no synergy in gaia

#

and it's a generally not good card

dusk sleet
#

Yeah, like, even with the plus of rush duels, you just don't use it.

#

Also, this is gonna sound really stupid, but would Salvage actually work somewhat well in a deck around Gaia the Dragon Champion?

#

Cause both Change Slime - Dragon Champion Mode and Launcher Catapult Turtle actually fit the criteria. It probably is a terrible idea, but I'm keeping an open mind about stuff.

dusk sleet
#

I suppose when it comes to deckbuilding, when you really and truly got no better ideas, it's fine to include like, a level 4 normal monster with high ATK?

#

Like, you got a 38 card deck and you dunno what else to do, so you throw in like, I don't know, Alligator's Sword just to round it out?

valid cave
#

nah, there's definitely better staple generics to put in than normal monsters

#

you can at least throw in like, sea dragon knight or something

dusk sleet
#

Ah, righto.

dusk sleet
#

Iiiiiii might be up for more rush duels for now. Still gotta get back into the swing of things, so doing some more duels can help out with re-learning stuff

lusty venture
#

@dusk sleet Im down

dusk sleet
#

Ah, cool. I'll try something different this-a time

lusty venture
#

alright, hosting on DB

dusk sleet
#

Thanks for the duels!

#

Still got a lot to learn but I'm glad you're walking me through it

lusty venture
#

very good games, yw ^-^

dusk sleet
#

Might as well show off my decks to spur some ideas if you need some ideas

#

I have no idea why I bricked so hard with this though

#

And here's my Red-Eyes Black Dragon deck!

#

Still needs tweaking but the idea of relying on a bunch of effect damage instead of just attacking sounds pretty nice

#

I probably need to stop throwing Torrential Tribute into every deck I make though.

#

...Also I just noticed that field spell for Gaia also can up the ATK of Dark Magician

#

They must've really thought of Yugi when they made this thing.

lusty venture
#

yup

dusk sleet
#

Alright, bit of a small strategy question: If you are rushing (hah) out to tribute summon a monster, is it oftentimes safer to set any monsters you intend to use as tribute for a tribute summon?

dusk sleet
#

Ah, ok. I'll try to remember it

lusty venture
#

most on summon traps only work to normal/special summons

valid cave
#

theoretically, yeah, a lot more traps work on summon than on set
on the other hand, if you're playing on edopro then summoning face-up may allow you to read delays on the summon to tell if the opponent has a trap on summon or not
either way, theyre unlikely to use it on a low level monster, and if they do use it on your low-level instead of your tribute summon then you're most likely pretty happy about that

dusk sleet
#

...Yeesh, edoPro does? Yurgh.

#

Thanks for the tips~

valid cave
#

its an autosim, so yeah
like master duel or duel links, it'll give the opponent prompts to activate when legal
though it also lets you bluff by either disabling the prompts (the "toggle off" like master duel/duel links have), or by creating prompts (checking the field) when you don't have anything

dusk sleet
#

Ahhh, yeah

#

Still liking duelingbook so far, so I can do either sim for now

dusk sleet

Ah, cool

#

Oooh, this fusion monster has a generic requirement for it's fusion materials too

lusty venture
#

Like the thunder one

dusk sleet
#

Y'know what I feel that Cyber Dragon could have?

#

A Maximum Monster that ends up going for the "Chimeratech" route in comparison to the fusion monsters mostly being big beatsticks.

#

Like

"Chimeratech Maximum Dragon" or something

#

In fact, I might make a custom card in the custom card channel on that

rare silo
lusty venture
#

our favorite sea horse

dusk sleet
#

Oh that's a cool card

#

Admittedly the one WATER deck I know how to use has a bunch of fish monsters and not sea serpents, so I don't know what best to do with it

dusk sleet
#

Oooh

rare silo
dusk sleet
#

Alright, looking for some neat ideas on Rush Duel decks

#

So far I only made decks based on stuff that were already present in the other card game (Gaia the Fierce Knight, Harpie Ladies... and I guess the concept of Umi if we're stretching it that far)

Might try looking for different ways to play. So far I'm very impressed with Gaia the Fierce Knight, but I'm on the lookout for other such decks

valid cave
#

Galacterial Pick, lv4 light galaxy/effect 800/1300
[requirement] discard 1 level 8 or lower galaxy monster
[effect] add 1 level 10 galaxy maximum monster from your graveyard to your hand

#

those horns, where have i seen em

#

Alluber.Horns... fuck

#

it's Lubellion isn't it

dusk sleet
#

A level 10 Galaxy Monster, eh?

#

Guess someone's picking up on good ways to cycle through to their Maximum monster very quickly.

tardy mica
#

They need it given their maximum doesn’t seem very good

lusty venture
#

@dusk sleet you down to rush duel?

dusk sleet
#

Oh! Yeah, I'm available!

#

Just lemme knowif you're up for it

lusty venture
dusk sleet
#

Righto

dusk sleet
#

Thanks for the dueling

#

I really gotta revise this thing and see what's going wrong

lusty venture
#

very well played

dusk sleet
#

Out of the majority of stuff in the original Duel Monsters series, I just like Gaia the Fierce Knight, so it's just like, a favorite of mine~

#

Thanks~

lusty venture
#

yw

dusk sleet
#

I feel so far I might need to stop playing revival cards like

#

Whatever that is that can slap down a level 7 on the field.

#

It's great but I feel like I got a little too much ways to bounce back

#

Also man, there was a lot of GY shenanigans that duel.

#

I didn't think it would pile up so high in a Rush Duel, but it does

#

So, I guess that's gonna be a goal for me: Find new ways to play

lusty venture
#

yup rush duel gets very GY heavy

dusk sleet
#

Man, kinda want to make a deck around Buster Blader, but there's like, literally no material to go off of for it

#

So it's really just only good at slaying dragons

lusty venture
#

I still need to make an updated gearfried deck

#

or like a yamiruler deck

dusk sleet
#

Wait, Gearfried the Iron Knight is a thing?

lusty venture
#

sorry I meant gilford

#

not gearfried

dusk sleet
#

Ah

#

Gilford the Lightning is pretty cool

lusty venture
#

Btw symph, Im up for one more match

dusk sleet
#

Ahh, righto. I can certainly try again

#

Just give me a few...!

lusty venture
#

alright

lusty venture
#

guess why this text came to annoy today cheems

#

very well played 😅

dusk sleet
#

...I can't believe that worked

#

Anyways, good game!

lusty venture
#

the big ocean really messed with that version of yamiruler

dusk sleet
#

I'm sooooo sorry for being very groggy with how I'm reading stuff

lusty venture
#

its all good

dusk sleet
#

Anyways, hoped the duel provided some insights~

lusty venture
#

I'll make a new warrior list for next time, so watch out ^-^

dusk sleet
#

And as always, thanks for teaching me!

#

❤️

#

The set monster was the Creator, and I was just hoping you'd run into it lol

#

Anyways, gonna go and finally sleep, and possibly do more reading on cards

#

Thanks for the games~

#

The whole Fish Depth Charge thing has got me looking up facts on remoras.

#

Evidently they really do have rather gross-looking suckers on the top of their heads, and do attach to hard-skinned marine animals, like those with carbide such as sharks and of course, rays

#

Each species tends to benefit; remoras get to enjoy a meal and protection from other predators, and the larger animals get cleaned up in turn by having loose flakes of skin and parasites removed

#

Also, they like bugging scuba divers too

lusty venture
#

oh and changed my mind, next deck wont be a warrior deck. You'll see what it is next time

dusk sleet
#

Oho!

#

I'll see about smithing up new decks for next time too

@dusk sleet you down to rush duel right now?

dusk sleet

Eh, bit busy for right now. If I have time later, I'll try another one out

lusty venture
#

alright

lusty venture
#

Still busy? 👀 @dusk sleet

dusk sleet
#

Might be in a few, but I think I mayyyy have time for a quick duel

#

Alright with a single duel?

lusty venture
#

sure

dusk sleet
#

Alrighty, just give me a few as I go to duelingbook

dusk sleet
#

Thanks for the duel Summer!

#

Gotta move real quick, but I appreciate it!

Yw ❤️

#

@dusk sleet down to rush duel?

dusk sleet
#

Oh, yeah, I'm certainly free in a moment

#

Just give me a few

#

Wonder if Copper or Spirawr does this on duelingbook too

dusk sleet
#

Just learned "Meet and Greed" was a thing

#

I was really hoping I can make a silly play with it and Big Koala, but turns out, Big Koala isn't a card in Rush Duels, and the best thing was... whatever "Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-Chan" is

#

Also: You got a series of cards based on sheep, but not one nod to like, Scapegoat from the looks of it. What

lusty venture
#

oh doing something now

dusk sleet
#

Ahh, righto.

#

Also, found the best artwork ever

tardy mica
dusk sleet
#

Ahh, righto

#

I might have to boot edopro back up so I can do rush dueling there too, if you need an opponent

#

Or a partner for a tag duel, if that's a thing you can do in rush duels too

#

Man, is there really no legend Insect monsters?

#

Looked at some cards and thought they'd be nice, but I don't think a legend for insects were ever printed.

lusty venture
#

Symph you up for a rush duel right now?

dusk sleet
#

...Which, is fair, cause honestly, there's like so few notable ones in the TCG as-is, and stuff like Insect Queen or Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth would not translate well

#

Oh, yeah sure

lusty venture
#

alright hosting

dusk sleet
#

I just got Bird Up'd

damn lightning bird up is juicier then I expected

How does one serve them up for today’s Rush duel environment?

I’ve been collecting bad cooking puns at least

lusty venture
pseudo burrow
#

But that would require having to play Duel Links

#

truly a dilemma

dusk sleet
#

Still feels weird how a few Cyberse monsters aren't related to computer terminology

#

Also: Been mulling over a deck around, I guess Baby Dragon

#

It can be used as fusion material for Alligator's Sword Dragon and Thousand Dragon, so I thought it'd be a cool deck idea

#

But I hit a bit of a wall... as in, I legit can't figure out what else to throw in aside from the materials, fusion cards, Star Restart... and I guess Alligator's Black Knight

#

Also, saw Protector of the Throne, but as it stood, there wasn't Giltia the D. Knight to go with it so... not too sure how well it is as a level 4 normal monster

dusk sleet
#

Phew, completed another deck

#

I might have to throw these to EDOpro soon enough. Wonder if you can directly copy from Duelingbook to Edopro

dusk sleet
#

I kinda want to do rush tag duels

#

I remember when we all got together and did a big duel-a-thon thing with tag duels, with rush duel cards, and it was just the best

dusk sleet
#

Is there a point to like

Using a bunch of these "Ewekai" normal monsters when I got stuff like Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts and Alligator's Sword?

#

...Oh right, one monster kinda depends on a variation of attributes, so I guess they do have their uses
