The Yu-Gi-Oh! Channel

[north robin]

It isn't but it doesn't really work on your turn

Unless your opponent has something like Havnis/bystials which summons itself, it's only gonna work on your opponent.
Plus there isn't that good enouch field spells to set up on your opponents turn anyway

The only floodgate field spells that aren't mine that come to mind are like fire prison (Mystic mine under several conditions.)

And Bakura's field spell...and that about it

Most other field spells either search or help extend plays.

[faint wraith]

Hey can you give me a salad decklist? Gonna try and see if it's something I can put my dislike aside and try to enjoy it.

[north robin]

Sure, I can give you the on I have currently built.

[faint wraith]

Thank you very much

[north robin]

You can get the majority of the deck from the structure which you can start off with something basic and then if you like the deck you can add in the newer stuff like Code of soul (Decode Talker Jr.), Promethean Princess, both of the Phoneix link 4s, and Salamangreat of fire

[north robin]

Np

Although one thing I might add is a terrortop engine.
I've seen it a couple times but it's basically to get out your XYZ with your normal summon with terror top (3x) and taketomborg (1x).

Might exchange for my 3 Salamangreat of fires so I can knock that down to two.
To make it less likely to get stopped by hand traps and if I prefer it, to crush down some more UR dust

[faint wraith]

Sweet. So what exactly is the game plan?

[north robin]

Mainly to have Pyro, the trap roar, and reincarnation on board along with a single copy of Raging, code of soul, and Princess in grave.

Code of soul and Pyro give you a board wipe
Princess is made for distruption and an extra body due to raging's effect to summon itself with more attack if a card is destoryed.

Roar is your generic counter trap which can step itself after you reincarnate link summon

Also if your both facing and using the deck, I recommand keeping an eye out on Balelynx.
That card can is the destruction protector of salads making itself a sub for any destruction effect like dark hole & Dusters. (This doesn't work unless it's against a face up salad card so the roar face down wont be protected along with any other links/extenders)

[faint wraith]

I see. Also I just beat a numeron deck by destroying the field spell and all four numeron cards in one chain.

[north robin]

Deserved.

One of the few fun decks to face due to them having one gameplay mostly and it's OTK.
Either they get it or scoop

[faint wraith]

It's so satisfying hearing the sound of them all getting destroyed..

[north robin]

Only fun ones I've seen it NumerRA which is a funnier version having the winged dragon of Ra as their endboard along with it's support cards.

[faint wraith]

I've only seen the version where they bring out the guy who banished my whole field.

[north robin]

Ah yes. one of their plan bs in case the damage wasn't enough

That along with Avaramax & The Infinetrack link 3

[faint wraith]

Might run that icejade chick who stops my cards from getting banished if I can get the right set up with weasel

[north robin]

With Weasel in salads?

Or in another deck?

[faint wraith]

Salads

[north robin]

I don't see it being impossible though there are some hoops to jump through.
Due to being fire locked with Salamangreat of fire, basically synchro locked with Horse prince in the extra, and effect locked after the XYZ salad

[faint wraith]

Ohhh right

Forgot about those

Salads have a lot of locks

[north robin]

Basically the lock doesn’t matter if your fire and a level 4 or lower monster/link/XYZ card

[faint wraith]

Sounds restrictive to me

People kept stealing the salad so they had to lock it up

[north robin]

True

Before it used to be less restrictive though the new cards now mainly revolve around it.
Although a good trade off from it being constantly thrown together with something else

[faint wraith]

Yeah. Also I swear that when I'm playing something people specifically start running counters to it
Nothing about salad, but when I was playing Lyrilusc I'd be seeing nibiru left and right. Then when I started playing tear nibiru disappeared and suddenly everyone had called by the grave in their opening hand.

[north robin]

Called by I get since it's a universal tech against of a majority of deck along with Nib

[north robin]

Though sometimes you get those odd picks that usually don't make it in main.
Back when branded fusion got in the game and I was climbing with Swordsoul, I got a token collector dropped on me.
By that time swordsoul wasn't the best deck and branded didn't even play tokens yet it was an annoying matchup

[north robin]

I was gonna try the terror top engine but fate is now guiding me to speedroids.
Seems like a good deck to try out after I make the birbs.

[north robin]

Something like this visually

[faint wraith]

Gotcha

[north robin]

I got this from the speedroidengine along with a copy of gazelle for a two card combo

Also a good example on what to look out for.

[faint wraith]

I decided to get the free pack and do a 10 pull on the traptrix pack and now I have 3 rafflesia's with one of them being foil

[north robin]

Nice

[north robin]

TCG Banlist update for anyone who plays this version of the game

I’m not familiar with fiendsmith but the rest of the banned cards make sense.
Calamity is super broken if done on your opponents turn (thank you Centurion)
Apollo had it coming being around 3-4 negates

[faint wraith]

They killed poplar hell yeah (now where is the phantom limit/semi-limit)

[north robin]

Hindered Tenpai with Sagan summoning which is a plus consider how competitive the deck was.
Also the prosp hit is far consider going 6 cards in is broken for a search.
Grass at 1 is a bit alarming though

Skill drain at 1 too.
Yipe.

Actually, looking at snake eyes now…the ash and poplar hit might not be enough…

[faint wraith]

Yeah hitting ash didn't stop it, but hopefully it'll slow it down.

[north robin]

Even without it, it’ll still be quite splashable regardless due to the new stuff their getting

[faint wraith]

Scareclaw. Fun deck and pretty cheap.

[grand cave]

Indeed

Especially in master duel

[faint wraith]

Seeing people try to use linkuriboh's ability when scareclaw kashtira is on the field gets me every time.

[grand cave]

t h e l i n k t h a t s e a r c h e s t h e f i e l d s p e l l

[faint wraith]

Also check this funny match against a low rank yubel

[faint wraith]

Pretty sure scareclaw is the only visas archetype that can search the field spell (mannadium might actually I don't remember)

[grand cave]

Im sorry but decode talker???

[faint wraith]

As I said. Low ranked yubel.

I wanted to try climbing with scareclaw so I made an alt. This is bronze.

[grand cave]

One of my alt’s first decks

[faint wraith]

It's so fun to watch the opponent try to out tri-heart with a monster effect only for it to not work.

[grand cave]

If all else fails monke avramax

[faint wraith]

And if you go first it actually has a nice matchup against yubel due to their no you damage being forced into defense position

[faint wraith]

Is that the world legacy guy?

[grand cave]

Ye

[faint wraith]

There's also astroloud is you just need one last push.

And claw is the only visas I've seen to actually USE visas.

[grand cave]

Manadium doesnt?

[faint wraith]

Oh it does? I guess it is synchro based

Also I pulled flamberge and lubellion from the lightning storm bundle

[grand cave]

O

[north robin]

Nice.

[faint wraith]

Opened 34 secret pack free pulls on it just now. 1 ur.

[north robin]

Is it the legacy pack ones?

If so then that checks out

[north robin]

Heck yeah! I love the t h e l i n k t h a t s e a r c h e s t h e f i e l d s p e l l

[faint wraith]

I think so. Where you craft a card and you get a free pull from that archetype

[north robin]

Oh that’s not the legacy pack

The legacy pack is the tickets we get from PVP that’s two cards per pack

[faint wraith]

Oh no not that one. That one can't give me ur craft points.

[north robin]

It’s only got a handful of useful cards and some that don’t make sense

Like giving away the world chalice links when we already get a play set from the story mode

Probably one of the best ones in there are the Zexal Fake number cards

And I think one do the Utopia XYZs

[faint wraith]

I got two utopia xyz from trading in 100 packs

[north robin]

Which ones?

[faint wraith]

Antitopia and some other guy lemme look

Utopia Kaiser and Antitopian

[north robin]

Neat

[faint wraith]

Jesus today has been hell so far in terms of md

First match of the day. Labrynth that stomps all over me because it's a bad match up.

Second match of the day. Using shaddoll to winda lock me.

Third match. My only win so far because it was someone with a dogshit deck.

Fourth match. Blackwing that kaliuga locks me.

Fifth match. Traptrix with kash unicorn. Oh I'll be fine I have feather duster and lightning storm. Nope, they instantly put up antispell fragrance and I don't have enough scareclaws to bring out tri heart.

[north robin]

Dang.
Thats rough.
Especially the last one getting** anti-smell **fragranced against traptrix

[faint wraith]

And the thing is I had both cards to ruin their board. But they just happened to have that in their hand

[north robin]

It basically shuts down a 3rd of the card types in the game

Well maybe around more due to pends existing

Happy it’s limited in the TCG. Slightly worse in MD due to it being semi’d

[faint wraith]

Should be banned. Being able to lock like that without a cost isn't healthy.

[north robin]

All floodgates should be

[faint wraith]

Hey I wanna know yalls opinions on something. What is your ranking for the best design of the visas true-forms? (Tri-Heart, Kaleido-Heart, Arise-Heart, Prime-Heart, and Astroloud)

[north robin]

Id probably say from my favorite designs.
Arise Heart
Kaleido-heart
Tri-heart
Astroloud
Prime heart

[faint wraith]

Mine's gotta be Tri-Heart, Arise Heart, Astroloud, Kaleido-heart, Prime-Heart.

Terms of gameplay, Tri-Heart, Kaleido-Heart, Astroloud, Arise-Heart, and haven't used prime-heart.

[north robin]

I think Prime-heart gets rarely played due to how underwhelming it is.
Prime-heart has the effect to attack all monsters and conditional targeting protection. Other than that he just floats into a small-heart (or any 1.5k Atk and 2.1k def monster) or V I S T A S S T A R F R O S T

[faint wraith]

T H E L I N K T H A T S E A R C H E S T H E F I E L D S P E L L

T H E F I E L D S P E L L T H A T S E A R C H E S T H E V I S A S S T A R F R O S T

[faint wraith]

Fighting cyber dragons

They have clockwork night up and send all of my monsters to the gy to summon chineratech.

I was saving scareclaw kashtira for a situation like this. So I summon it.

They use power bond to make a 4k attack monster that can attack multiple times.

I use straddle I had set to turn scareclaw kashtira into a 6k defense behemoth

Feels good man

[north robin]

Huh, Straddle is a card that I forgot was in the deck.

Seems situation but with a card like Scare Kash could be more surprising

[faint wraith]

I mainly use it at 1 for yhe target negate, but I saw the chance to make a giant beatstick and took it.

[north robin]

Honestly the better effect due to BIG number being funny

Though tagreting does have it's merits due to it being a way around imperms

[faint wraith]

And it's a permanent boost too

[north robin]

and Effect veilers

Ah, I see.
That makes it even funnier

[faint wraith]

Has saved my combos more than once.

[north robin]

I could imagine considering its a neat tech option and searchable as well

[faint wraith]

Oh you have a 6k beatstick?

Now my tri-heart has 9k attack, piercing damage, and can attack multiple times.

[faint wraith]

Typically if you have arrival already though you want to search defanging or twinsaws. Those are generally more useful.

[north robin]

I see. Either Recovery or Icarus attack (Thats sometimes better with Vistas)

Also Isn't the reborn effect of Arrvial not a Hard once per turn?

I see one on the protection though not on the revival

[faint wraith]

Correct. But if going first you typically want protection or removal.

So if you already have arrival, search something else.

Except if you need extra materials for link or synchro plays

[north robin]

Gothca

Crazy that they have it on that card.
If I had a nickel for each archtype reborn I've seen that isn't a hard once per turn, I'd have two. It isn't much but it's strange how it's not brought up often (The other being Speedriod recovery)

[faint wraith]

Scareclaw is like Lyrilusc in which it's lowkey broken but it has enough counters in the current meta that you don't see much of it.

It does have a good matchup into yubel if you go first, though.

[north robin]

Makes sense since scareclaws have their boss monster which is immune to effects that it's a link monster.
Also it has a reborn on the smaller claws that doubles as a search which seems nutty

Only issue is the scareclaw lock which wouldn't be much of issue if thats the last thing youll do for the turn.

[faint wraith]

I just got the idea of putting i:p in there to use her effect next turn hold on (also if you summon tri-heart with her he straight up won't be able to be destroyed by card effects)

[faint wraith]

Oh also btw that reborn + search is only a soft opt

[north robin]

Wait what.

Crazy

[faint wraith]

Yeah it really helps with otk consistency

[north robin]

I could imagine that. If you already have one up you can use it for another to get more searching to end the game

[faint wraith]

And also scareclaw kashtira casually negating the effects of any monster your scareclaws battle until the end of the turn

[north robin]

The super heavy Samurai that negates

[faint wraith]

It's the reason the deck has a good matchup against yubel (provided you go first and have something like twinsaws or defanging). Cause even with nightmare pain up they're in defense position so they won't be reflecting damage, and scarekash negates their battle protection.

[north robin]

I can see why

[faint wraith]

However, the fucking link 4 water dragon guy fucks us over due to one line of text on tri-heart.

"Must be link summoned."

[north robin]

Thank Tri-brigade.

That’s pretty much why the link -1 has its summon restriction prevent easy link climbing.
Though Tribridge still gets splashed in it

[faint wraith]

Oh wait yeah now that I think about it banishing cards to basically summon tri-heart for free is pretty good

[north robin]

Alright, I got copies of useless URs so I got enough for the birbs

Or at least a start for them.
If i end up liking the deck I'll think of splashing some tri-bridges or even invest more with the new winged beast support we got in the latest pack.

[faint wraith]

Sweet. Also a spell I recommend that's inly r rarity is jack-in-the-hand. Helps with getting specific things you want in the hand.

[north robin]

I decided to leave that out for now since I think I've got enough searchers.

[faint wraith]

Hey man you never know /j

[north robin]

That is true though I'll try the build I have now and if I need more searches I'll include that

Though I may add that new UR Swallow's Cowrie If I need more since it can help with GY set up and searching

[faint wraith]

Imo, tge worst point to get hit by a handtrap is on recital. But even then it's not the end of the world

[north robin]

Yeah, there are some extenders that can help with that assist through that

[faint wraith]

Surprisingly, scareclaw and purrely work decently well together.

[north robin]

How so?

[faint wraith]

They don't interfere with each other (no locks as you can save tri-heart's reborn effect for the end of the combo) and they cover some weaknesses they each have. Purrely covers scareclaw's lack of removal options, and scareclaw works like a safety net for if noir gets outted somehow.

[north robin]

I guess though doesn’t it mess with the purrly searches in a way due to need to excavate cards on the top of your deck?

[faint wraith]

You don't usually use white purrely. Also I'm trying the birb engine (lyrilusc) mixed with purrely. You can get like 6 bounces/spins pretty easily.

[north robin]

I’ve seen they have more in archetype synergies due to them being level ones.
Also I’ve count to realize the second effect of birb sanctuary is generic for XYZs

[faint wraith]

I don't use birb santuary, but good to know. Also I definitely just made a fish deck so mad by bouncing them, negating them (epurrely beauty) and spinning then

[north robin]

If they have Gozen in the decklist, it’s deserved.

[faint wraith]

I need to check. They had that ice barrier guy who makes me have to discard to activate monster effects, but with a sleepy memory that wasn't an issue.

[faint wraith]

I caved and made mikanko instead of making staples. Mikanko is fun

[grand cave]

Mikanko is yubel but more monke

[faint wraith]

Nah it's cooler because it doesn't spit out like 8 disruptions from one combo like yubel and pendulum magicians

[faint wraith]

And Mikanko can instead yoink three of your opponent's monsters away (I did that to a branded player just now and they rage quit)

[north robin]

You can also play snatch steal in Mikanko thanks to Ohime’s effect to non-targeting non-destruction stealing. They have their own but using actual snatch steal lets you attack with the monster along with using its effects

Also nice to see a fellow Mikanko fan

[faint wraith]

Ni-Ni + Spiritwalk + Ohime Rondo is amazing

[north robin]

Don’t forget Hu-Lu.
Prevent targeting from your Mikanko cards.
Not MONSTERS, CARDS so that means your face-up spell/traps are safe from getting cyclone’d or normal MST effects

[faint wraith]

Yeah she's busted. She single-handedly won me a game against a Centurion deck that didn't have an out for her. The game lasted like 12 turns until I won with the ritual spell burn damage

My favorite thing has to be the interaction with double edged sword though.

[north robin]

It’s an OTK with any 3k or higher monster on board

Bounces it to 4K to 8k damage by its effect

[faint wraith]

Or you could use it to otk when the opponent has an empty board.

[north robin]

Oh wait so are you running Mikanko going first or are you building second with them?

[faint wraith]

Building second. It's just that for some reason a lot of people seem to be leaving open boards despite me going second.

[north robin]

Depends, if you choose go second on the coin flip then they are probably suspicious of a 8-axis, Crusadia, Numeron, or Mikanko deck

If they choose first and pass on like a face down and a set card. High chance of them just bricking

[faint wraith]

A lot of it has been setting face down backrow and then nothing else.

Also surprisingly, the random burn damage on the ritual spell and trap card have gotten me out of some tricky games.

[north robin]

I barely use the ritual spell since the quickplay spell cheats out Ohime

[faint wraith]

Yeah but I have it if I need to get her on the field for good (or I ran out of the quick play spell)

[north robin]

There’s rarely a time where I need her on field except when it comes to need to attach an equip to a monster or going for game with her.
Mostly since my Mikanko games do go past turn 4

Usually

[faint wraith]

I don't want to keep playing against centurion...

[north robin]

Just be glad MD preemptively hit King Calamity.

[faint wraith]

I just want the game to give me a hand that can play through their turn 1 boards..

[faint wraith]

Someone I haven't seen in here before

[hazy ferry]

I didn't know this place existed

[faint wraith]

Yeah it's a thing. Not too many people talk in here though (only a couple including me that talk regularly)

[hazy ferry]

I see

[north robin]

Yo! New duelist!

[hazy ferry]

not really new, I'm just getting back into the game because some archetypes caught my eye

[north robin]

My apologies.
Correction: YO! New Duelist in this chat

Also what archetypes would those be? The new meta ones? The legacy support in the TCG/OCG? Or are you into new cards with some good puns/goofy art?

[faint wraith]

What peaked your interest?

[hazy ferry]

White woods, Azamina, abc support, etc...

[north robin]

I see, the OCG exclusives.
The ones that are built around the Diabellstar lore and the new alphabet mechs support.

[hazy ferry]

these were the 2 decks I've used when I got back into the game, I'm just waiting for the other stuff to come like tempai and fiendsmith

[north robin]

Oh cool, another infernoble player and a Rescue player too

You even got a royal Angelica
Pretty sweet

[hazy ferry]

yep

[north robin]

Wait, phoenix blade is in the game now? And it’s an N?

[hazy ferry]

yes

[north robin]

Now I have to tune my deck a bit and get rid of the bamboo engine now

Hopefully it’ll help me brick less often

[faint wraith]

The bamboo stuff seems insane if you can get a bamboo equip spell

[north robin]

I mainly use it to send cursed bamboo sword to grave to get the normal one from deck to activate turpin after an Ogiler send

Though now I can play things a bit differently with Phoenix blade since it’s more flexible

[faint wraith]

Play original bamboo sword with the birbs. Assembled nightningale will nuke the opponent's board

[north robin]

Ok, I got confused by a second by what you said but now I know there’s two original bamboo swords.

The one I was referring to is the broken (literally) on which had the effect to gain 0 atk
Original is the one where direct attacks wipe the board

[faint wraith]

Yeah that's what I mean with original.

[north robin]

Untargetable

[faint wraith]

Indestructible

[north robin]

Your only outs from what I see are..Ty-phon..and that’s about it

From what I know about tear

Super poly doesn’t even had a good target for her since the Milankos are all different types and attributes

[faint wraith]

Is his bounce non-targetting?

[north robin]

Yup, it says return one monster from the field to the hand so it doesn’t target

[faint wraith]

Ah.

Rivalry into equipping typhon with axe of fools

[north robin]

Ah, yes.

Then that ends it.

It’s second effect isn’t even a quick effect so either that or a spirit walk on its summon could clean up

[faint wraith]

"But then they might not have a monster to attack into" Double edged sword tech

[north robin]

Yeah, though they’d probably fold to an evenly or a duster

That kinda screws them over. No backrow, no issue

[faint wraith]

Yeah we lose to evenly and duster. Hmm.. wonder what we could add as trap negates or something.

[north robin]

Red reboot..wait that’s banned
Teching Denko Seka (idk the exact name but it’s like Jinzo but on a 4 star body. You don’t usually normal summon due to the Fire and Water equips and mainly you want to send the wind one to grave.
Royal decree if you want to go old school also works too if you don’t plan on running Imperm

[faint wraith]

Noted

[faint wraith]

Bro got the worst matchup possible

[north robin]

When the machine fortress is quite large

[faint wraith]

Mikanko be like: Scrumptious

[faint wraith]

"B-But Mikanko can't do anything against an empty board!" Check this out

[north robin]

[faint wraith]

You're never safe

[faint wraith]

One nice thing about mikanko is that unless you're against yubel, it's very resistant to super poly.

[north robin]

There are no good targets with the main deck Mikankos

[faint wraith]

Them all being different typed and attributes makes it really nice. Only issue that stems from that is the deck is weak to rivalry of warlords and Gozenki Match (or whatever it's called that only lets you have 1 attribute out)

[north robin]

Eh, they both are the same thing to Mikanko. A floodgate.

Though you can run, TCOBO if you want to be toxic with Mikanko

[faint wraith]

Yeah it's the one floodgate that Mikanko doesn't lose to. I don't wanna use it though.

[north robin]

It’s like a limit 1 and a UR

Isn’t worth it if you go second.

[faint wraith]

I've only faced it twice but I'm tired of the beatrice makayushi rollback locks

[faint wraith]

Going first with Mikanko is doable

[north robin]

Reversed Fenrir.

Yeah, this seems pretty Cool.

[faint wraith]

We love the birbs

[faint wraith]

I'll be real I thought Ni-Ni's effect was like rondo in which you couldn't use the effects and then I got the pop up

[north robin]

Pretty cool having a 5 card bouncer that is untagetable. Even 1 bounce can still screw them over due to a 2k being able to extringish any normal summon.
Also Draco future helps for permastealing and negation

[north robin]

I forget that too. Though that's probably due to having her as a turn 3 option and stealing any combo/recovery pieces instead of something board breaking like Fenrir

[faint wraith]

And if you make Linkuriboh as well you just straight can't beat her over with a normal summon.

[faint wraith]

She's great if you can access her turn 1. You get to steal combo pieces for free.

[north robin]

Gotcha, I’ll have that down so she doesn’t get beaten by a low attack normal

[faint wraith]

The only real weakness I see in that board is a lack of destruction protection. If you can spare the resources (though understandable if you can't) try to also have assembled. She's also an alternative to linkuriboh and she also protects from battle damage in case your board still gets wiped (it's a lingering effect for some reason)

But Robin can still recover a birb if she goes down, so still pretty good.

[north robin]

Gotcha. If I didn't go for more bounces I could have gone for protection instead since I was able to get a 4 ma with Robin though I could have made it a 2 mat (+1 due to wagtail's effect) Robin and a 2 mat assembled

[faint wraith]

Typically depends on what you think is the safer play, but yeah.

[north robin]

3 bounces is still broken. Not to mention the draco future you can pump out too being a 3 mat for an extra draw with birb sanctuary

[faint wraith]

True. Didn't think of it like that.

[north robin]

Utopic Future is even protected due to it's own effect

Non-destruction by effect and for some reason battle

[faint wraith]

Probably because of the normal utopic future having battle protection they felt the need to give draco future that.

[north robin]

Makes sense as an evolution of a card. Probably in the Zexal anime somewhere (I need to watch it)

[faint wraith]

Mikanko single-handedly carrying my alt to diamond

Me petting the lava golem I gave a sword to

[faint wraith]

Realizing that I actually own a physical yu-gi-oh floodgate

[north robin]

Which one?

[faint wraith]

Majesty's Fiend. Not the best one, but blocks activated monster effects.

And it's foil too.

[north robin]

Neat.

Oh wait. With that kind of stat line and level it’s a honorary monarch

The unintended synergy

[faint wraith]

Kinda like the Vanity monsters honestly

And thank god floo's extra normal summons only extend to winged beast monsters

[north robin]

Even if it did. Wouldn’t be as broken as you’d think due to the lock Floo has on special summoning. .

[faint wraith]

You can't special summon the majesty or vanity cards though?

[hazy ferry]

I was doing dailies in md, and as I just decided to crash my monsters into my opponent's mirrorjade. I somehow won due to time limit

[north robin]

Oh, I thought you meant the non-winged beast normal summon in general.
Yeah, they’d be a broken floodgate in those

[faint wraith]

Doing my dailies and encountered a surprisingly oppressive harpie lady tri-brigade deck in diamond.

I also won due to time limit.

[north robin]

Funny to see “response?” Be a win condition.

[faint wraith]

Won against the weakest sefk endboard I've ever seen (a fk monster negate and that fire link 4 monster). I returned the negate to the hand and summoned Hu-Li with water dance, so promethian couldn't target and destroy, then I swung at the link 4 with Hu-Li and Ohime and used Ohime to equip rondo to their guy from the grave and killed them with their own monster

[faint wraith]

Woah

Also what are yall's thoughts on Nekroz Libromancer?

[north robin]

Together or separate?

[faint wraith]

Together. Wondering if they have synergy.

[hazy ferry]

I don't think so

[north robin]

The syngery I see so far with them by a brief glance is that the Libromancer deck monsters have a somewhat generic summoning condition when it comes to revealing a ritual spell/monster.
Also Nekroz can dump extra deck cards to the grave with Kaideo scope for hearld though that’s about where I can see the synergy ending.

[faint wraith]

Man.. thought I was cooking..

[north robin]

Technically you can run the doombroker engine getting you a free negate without using your normal summon.
Though that’s about it.
Even if you use Nekroz for extra deck dumping, it’s better to use Dogmatika due to them having a better consistency at it.

[faint wraith]

Yeah I saw a video of dogmatika and Nekroz. And I just decided to move on from the thought.

[north robin]

The syngery between those two are understandable due to how the Dogmatikas work.
Both want the extra deck as the resource and help each other by Kaideo scope and the Dogmatika.

Though now you have me the thought of building Libromancers.
The deck is fairly unique with a field spell that has a ritual effect that does have a once per turn written on it. Also you could run a Ohime as a nice turn 1 quickplay snitch steal along with a Libromancer reveal target

[faint wraith]

True.

[north robin]

Though requiring around 8-ish UR in archetype URs is a bit of a steep cost

[quiet tiger]

erm wtfrog

@safe magnet

[faint wraith]

5 mat ensemblue robin + UDF + Linkuriboh is a surprisingly tough board to break especially if Ensemblue was summoned with cobalt. And I love it.

[quiet tiger]

Does my silly uct get through (probably protected by miscell after the usual combo)

https://tenor.com/view/yugioh-dinosaur-duel-ultimate-conductor-tyranno-uct-gif-18153308280398792424

[faint wraith]

Ensemblue bounces him to the hand

[quiet tiger]

Miscell protects dinos by making activated effects do nothing against them (when the dino card is on the field)

And my uct is conveniently a dinosaur monster, so he falls under the protection of miscellaneosaurus

[faint wraith]

Udf negates the miscellaneosaurus

[quiet tiger]

[faint wraith]

Udf is a monster negate

Utopic Draco Future

Also known as chicken wings

[quiet tiger]

Darn. Well, that shrimply means you'd first have to negate the activation of miscell being sent into gy, and since it's a opt you can't use it on uct afterwards

[faint wraith]

He still goes back to your hand though. So neither of us would get anywhere

Unless his summon nopt

[quiet tiger]

And miscell sending into the gy is not a hard opt so I'm pretty sure i can just throw it back into the gy to actually activate the effect

[faint wraith]

Lemme go look

Ok yeah the protection is non opt but you'd need two of them

And that's not counting if I can get appolusa out because Lyrilusc makes so many mats

[quiet tiger]

I guess i just gotta get lucky with my opening hand as usual, as bricking isn't too uncommon but usually i have the means to make something atleast semi decent

[quiet tiger]

[faint wraith]

Lyrilusc rarely bricks, but it can get hands that lose to one or two hand traps.

[quiet tiger]

Dinos isn't a very meta deck anyways...

[faint wraith]

And neither is lyrilusc it wasn't relevant since it was used with tri-brigade years ago

[faint wraith]

There are two kinds of plays you can go for. Going first and set up ensemblue, udf, and linkuriboh to set up a strong board (usually with other engines like snake eyes or tri-brigade) or go pure blind second and imitate mikanko with kaijus and lava golems

[quiet tiger]

Okay so my gameplan of praying to god the enemy doesn't use his negates on the initial few combo starters of babycerasaurus and miscellaneosaurus remains

[faint wraith]

That's a cute emote-

[faint wraith]

Do you have cards to bait them out?

[quiet tiger]

Depends on how good my hand is. As the 'baits' may be needed to actually get the materials to start the combo

[faint wraith]

Do you have called by the grave in your deck?

[quiet tiger]

Yeah

I thought you meant baits on their own, not also negates

[faint wraith]

I'm just trying to supply options to get past the hand traps

[quiet tiger]

Lemme go fetch the deck in md rq

I do indeed kinda just get 'outplayed' at times cause my starting hand luck has not been the best lately

[faint wraith]

Not really a dino expert, but crossout designator can also help with handtraps. And you could maybe play less yourself to hit 40 cards and have a lower bricking chance.

Also I dunno how to screenshot when my phone is sideways but with snake eyes Lyrilusc you can make this board turn 1

Also d.d. crow was searched out. Didn't draw it.

Each ensemblue robin material is a special summon bounce as her effect is non opt

[quiet tiger]

I feel like only 40 cards is too little and is too inconsistent, as I have to play some cards at 1 like archosaur and I kinda don't want that cause if i happen to get one in my starting hand i brick further because I'd waste my normal summon on it if i try to combo

(the lvl 1 blue crocodile at the start)

[faint wraith]

Unless you have searchers, going over 40 cards can make it super inconsistent. Although I run 40, lyrilusc could afford to go over 40 because of the sheer number of searchers and extenders it has.

[quiet tiger]

Eh, i just personally feel like 45 is that specific sweet spot

[faint wraith]

Makes sense. Used that number when playing Mikanko. Though if needed you could run fewer handtraps.

[quiet tiger]

It's especially funny watching the opponent scramble because they don't realize they can't really stop the combo after miscell has gone through successfully

The not knowers not realizing they can't imperm the alligator due to miscell

[faint wraith]

That's how it was with Mikanko when I got Hu-Li out with an equip (she provides all Mikanko cards with targeting protection)

I think this is the right replay

Yeah this is the replay where they were just trying their hardest but refused to read

[faint wraith]

Even better SELL turn 1 board

[north robin]

Is Hiita the fire charmer for recovery next turn or a way to get to high link rating when I:P becomes Live?

[faint wraith]

She's mainly a way to get rid of promethian while also having a floating effect when destroyed by an opponent (though she does act as extra mats for appolusa so she can have 3 mats using flamberge, masq, and hiita)

[north robin]

Gotcha. Makes sense.
I’ve had similar set ups though I’ve seen people use either amblow whale or the newest salad link 4

[faint wraith]

Yeah but Hiita is only an sr so she's cheaper and serves the purpose just fine (snake eyes is already draining the alt as is)

[north robin]

Understandable

[faint wraith]

I hate these 60 card tear piles with fucking horus, snake eyes, tear, and shit. It's just an abomination.

[faint wraith]

Nevermind we're so back

[north robin]

Junk Synchron pass

[faint wraith]

Probably just bricked, or had one combo line but didn't want to commit when they could just use nibiru as interruption.

[north robin]

Probably

I could imagine since the deck is junk speeder or most of the time death.
Kinda reminds of a new archtype coming to MD in the next pack.

[faint wraith]

Which new archetype? (I was saving ash for speeder and maybe they noticed the pause)

[north robin]

Correction: New archtype support for one of the weakest archtypes in the game making it potienally one of the strongest combo decks if not interrupted.

Genex.

[faint wraith]

What new support is potentially bringing that heap of trash (literal, no offense to people who play it) to potential rouge status?

[north robin]

This link 1 right here

Thanks to the existance of just this one card, if you dont have interruption or something like droplet/Dark ruler/Lava golem. You kinda cooked.

[faint wraith]

That thing is going to turbo out synchros more than archfiends (maybe)

[north robin]

It does.

Every seach (Once per chain btw) Becomes a extra normal.

with the R-Genexs you can get your field full of monsters and with some extenders you can do some pretty stupid things

One version I've seen can rip out 3 cards from your oppnent turn 1 while setting a dis pater (Pretty much a negate with the banish hand looping), their now boss monster which is a negate based on the atrributes in grave, and a hearld of the archlight for grave banishes and an extra negate

[faint wraith]

Wait how are they hand ripping?

[north robin]

First Rip was from Psy-Frame Omega
Second was from Trish of the Nice barrier
Third was Psy-Frame Omega (It's a soft once per turn for some weird reason?!) that was the one you banished prior due to Bis Pater's effect to bring back a light or dark banished monster.

[faint wraith]

They need to give it some restriction or something jesus christ

[north robin]

Btw. Due to how card rulings work, You dont get the first card back from Omega's effect since they both aren't returning due to Omega not being banished for that condition

Also they tried by using a limit 1...

[faint wraith]

They just need to put some sort of restriction on the link 1

[north robin]

The restriction is that your playing Genex

Well Genex tuner for your synchrons. You can't use any other tuners and the limit is just synchros after the link 1

[faint wraith]

But you've seen what that link 1 can do. I'm gonna have to start running ghost ogre to blow it away

[north robin]

Good choice. Though better to orge the normal summon since Genex, to my knowledge, has no good specials from hand on an empty board

Droll also works too being a way to stop it's almost limtless normal summons along with ash to stop the first search. Imperm also kills it with Veiler

Unless they have eagle booster since some builds run that to stay safe.

[faint wraith]

Interesting. Also watching a video on the white woods cards. This shit is insane.

[north robin]

It’s like Witchcrafter but crank it up 10 fold

[faint wraith]

The whole opponent's field flipped face down ia nutty

[safe magnet]

Holy! Why has this gem been hidden from me

Peak channel honestly

[faint wraith]

Wassap new person (we're getting more people here hell yeah)

[safe magnet]

I scrolled a bit back and saw Salamangreats

I love that deck

[faint wraith]

Yeah I tried it for a bit. Combos were too long for my liking (Yes I'm playing snake eyes lyrilusc but I love Lyrilusc so much it overrides it)

[safe magnet]

Snake-Eyes Lyrilusc? That's a thing?

[faint wraith]

It's amazing. They synergize really well with level 1s.

[faint wraith]

Here's an example

Cause the lyrilusc xyz monsters only need generic level ones

[safe magnet]

damn

that's actually.. quite good?

[faint wraith]

The typical endboard ends on UDF, ensemblue robin with 4-5 mats (which is 4-5 special summon bounces), flamberge with masquerena in s/t zone, hiita, and promethian and linkuriboh in grave

[safe magnet]

it even plays through nib because of the flamberge

[faint wraith]

Yeah if they wait for flamberge before using it and I have a lyrilusc in hand without using sapphire swallow or beryl canary I just win

On turn 2 of course

[safe magnet]

Looks like the only thing that kills this strategy is shifter

maybe droll too idk

[faint wraith]

Turn one I need to change things up and just go for udf + ensemblue

[faint wraith]

Yeah droll is very bad for the lyrilusc side, and shifter kills like everything

[safe magnet]

I don't know anything about Lyriluscs, but I'm guessing that they suck going second

against a deck that can put up a good board

[faint wraith]

They have a ton of options to play through interruptions, and going second if you're playing pure can use kaijus and lava golem as they don't need their normal summon (and actually have no ns trigger effects)

[safe magnet]

huh interesting, how much non engine are you running in this deck?

[faint wraith]

Not much, but we use a few handtraps.

D.d. crow is actually searchable in it

And with where arf thou we can snag effect Veiler

[safe magnet]

Droll's probably the best level 1 handtrap

[faint wraith]

Oh droll is level 1?

[safe magnet]

Ye

[faint wraith]

Oh shit I may use it over veiler (I only run 1 veiler right now cause ur tax but droll could be good)

[safe magnet]

Droll is super strong

[faint wraith]

Oh I know how strong it is. It mostly kills lyrilusc unless it already has the pieces in hand.

But snake eyes helps to mitigate that issue.

[safe magnet]

The streak is win

[north robin]

Salad streak I’m assuming?

[faint wraith]

Siiick

[hazy ferry]

https://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_detail.php?page=details&id=2045 crystron support

[safe magnet]

Salamangreat Fire Kings

cooks quite hard

[faint wraith]

🤝 Using part of an annoying meta deck with decks that we like in order to cook up the best meal ever

(Snake Eyes Lyrilusc)

[safe magnet]

? But.. Fire Kings are not meta?

[faint wraith]

Snake Eyes Fire King

It's only behind Yubel in terms of usage

[safe magnet]

yeah, but the Snake-Eyes part is the meta deck

It's like saying that Volcanic Snake-Eyes is a meta deck

[faint wraith]

But it's PART of a meta deck

Not saying it IS meta

[safe magnet]

I mean.. I guess so in Master Duel.. ipn the TCG it's like Tier 1

maybe even Tier 2

[faint wraith]

Pure is not meta, but it's used in a meta deck that helps make it meta (pure se isn't nearly as oppressive)

[faint wraith]

In md you gotta sit through like a 10 minute combo only to face like 10 monster negates

[safe magnet]

the TCG is also like that..

[faint wraith]

My only hope with fighting it was when I was playing mikanko and I had hu-li, an equip spell, and double edged sword

Normal summon Hu-Li (ns bypasses princess in grave). Equip her with equip spell. Equip DES to an opponent's monster with more than 2k attack. Win.

[safe magnet]

that usually works yeah, but considering that MD Snake-Eyes has Baronne I doubt that you'd be able to go through one of their boards

[faint wraith]

Bait it out with something (hope you have foolish axe or water dance in hand so you don't have to spend your normal summon on hidden armory)

[safe magnet]

Is Savage banned?

I'm not really super familiar with the MD Banlist

[faint wraith]

Borreload is not banned (neither is appolusa)

[safe magnet]

yep, that's at least 2 omnis on their field

through 3 handtraps

[faint wraith]

A lot of generic negates aren't banned

[safe magnet]

and an Appo for 3

with at least 2 handtraps in hand

[faint wraith]

Snake eyes doesn't really use synchros though

[safe magnet]

? Why?

They have full power snake-eyes?

The one that makes Savage, Phoenix, Baronne

[faint wraith]

Ash is limited, seeker of sinful spoils is limited

[safe magnet]

I mean.. they still have the needed consistency to pull it off, they literally have 12-16 starters still

[faint wraith]

Most variants (especially SEFK) don't have tuners besides ash blossom

[safe magnet]

They use Jet Synchron with Sinful I'm pretty sure to do the combo

[faint wraith]

I have only seen 1 person in my entire time of md use that

[safe magnet]

In the TCG before they banned Savage and Baronne they were constantly making them

[faint wraith]

Their ed just doesn't have room as they cram a shit ton of links in it

[faint wraith]

Never seen them make it in md

[safe magnet]

hmm.. I mean, their endboard at full power used to be, Baronne, Savage, Phoenix, Amblue, Princess in grave, Garunix in grave, I think and like 3 cards in hand

[faint wraith]

The one time I saw jet synchron they stopped quickly due to maxx c

[safe magnet]

oh yeah Flamberge and IP

yeah I guess that Maxx C plays a role in this

They used to make shit like this

[faint wraith]

My SELL endboard if I don't fuck it up is usually UDF, Ensemblue Robin with 4-5 mats, flamberge with i:p in s/t zone, princess in grave, and hiita (would be salad phoenix but I don't wanna spend the ur points)

And linkuriboh in grave

[safe magnet]

I legit keep forgetting that Linkuriboh is legal in this game

[faint wraith]

Yeah he's used in pure LL too

[safe magnet]

but uhh yeah, their endboards used to look something like this

[faint wraith]

Thank god they don't do this in md

[safe magnet]

I mean

nothing's stopping them

[faint wraith]

But they don't do it (not in diamond or below at least)

Linkuriboh is honestly amazing protection for endemblue robin so she doesn't get run over by a normal summon

[safe magnet]

and honestly.. the guy who has posted this on reddit.. has really messed up this combo... they could have an Appo and then also have the I:P for an S:P, but this was from before S:P was in MD and no Phoenix too

like they could be cooking way more than this

[hazy ferry]

[safe magnet]

ayo, clean

[faint wraith]

Yoooo

Welcome to hell

[hazy ferry]

I’m used to it

[faint wraith]

You will encounter so much stun here

[hazy ferry]

Didn’t run into stun

Just vv

Tear

[faint wraith]

Trust me, you'll find a lot as you climb higher

[hazy ferry]

Branded

[safe magnet]

With my Salads my end board is usually: Reincarnated Raging, Ambloowhale, Appo at 4 (Firewall colinked to 2 in the TCG), Jack Jaguar, Princess, Garunix (with a target for Kirin), Phoenix, 2 Balelynx in grave and 4 cards in hand

[hazy ferry]

The highest I ever got was diamond 1

[faint wraith]

Well stun is getting more popular lately.

People going for cheap wins

[safe magnet]

Dies to nib, makes the board either a token or a reincarnated Phoenix with way less interuptions

[faint wraith]

Without snake eyes in the mix Lyrilusc dies to the rock

I hate nib with every fiber of my being

[safe magnet]

Even with Snake-Eyes salads die to the rock.. cuz of Stalio mostly

[safe magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/bros-bro-high-five-dillon-duke-gif-12955092

same here, still a card in my side deck cuz now without the generic negates in the TCG it hits way harder.. Fuck Fiendsmith though

[faint wraith]

Cause like.. unless you have Beryl canary in hand in pure when they throw rocks at the birds you lose.

[safe magnet]

yeah you need lucky draws in salads too

thankfully the current most powerful deck, Yubel, does struggle OTKing through interuptions.. kinda

[faint wraith]

A good thing about Lyrilusc though is that it's VERY consistent cause it has like 10 searchers (one of them being an xyz monster with a soft opt search)

[safe magnet]

I have a one card combo and droll doesn't stop me entirely which is nice

[faint wraith]

Droll kills me

We have 0 ss from decks, though we have 2 ss from grave

But one of those has to be ss from the hand and one of the ways to do that requires searching

[safe magnet]

I have 2 specials from the hand and everything else is from the deck or gy

[faint wraith]

Cobalt Sparrow: Searches a lvl 1 wb when ss
Sapphire Swallow: If you have a wb out you can ss it and a lvl 1 wb from the hand
Turquoise Warbler: ss from hand if you have no monsters and ss a lyrilusc from hand or grave when it's ss from the hand
Celestine Wagtail: Searches spell when ss
Beryl Canary: target and ss lyrilusc from grave and itself from hand

[safe magnet]

I'm also currently building this silly even though it sucks ass

[faint wraith]

Do NOT put ensemblue robin in with that Horus bullshit

[safe magnet]

This deck gets 2 level 1s on the field with a good hand

gotta use the bird

[faint wraith]

I don't want to see my baby birds associated with that garbage (I have a very strong hatred for horus)

[safe magnet]

the Horus engine is there only so that I can make a photon before committing to my any of the engine, cuz it dies to one ash

[safe magnet]

as a Blue-Eyes enjoyer I vibe with Horus

[faint wraith]

I still hate it

I hate it almost as much as I hate the rock

[safe magnet]

your bird will hopefully be committing many crimes

[faint wraith]

Stay away from her

[faint wraith]

Assembled nightningale ability to stop all lyrilusc cards from being destroyed with a lingering effect protecting me from battle damage

[safe magnet]

if you manage to get to her through 4 monster negates 1 omni and 7 destructions

[faint wraith]

I can actually

The birbs are that consistent

[safe magnet]

w..damn.. uhh oh yeah.. true.. Snake-Eyes

[faint wraith]

Or I could use your high attack raging phoenix against you and smack you with recital starling

[safe magnet]

I usually don't get a 5K raging unless I'm OTKing you or I'm in the battle phase so no

[faint wraith]

[safe magnet]

you can get a 3900 Garunix though

[faint wraith]

In pure we use kaijus and lava golems too

[safe magnet]

I don't have any recorded games, but

Card Advantage

(you send the Garunix with the baby Kirin usually, it's just that I turned off shuffling to record and Garunix was the top card)

[faint wraith]

I have quite a few recorded games

Give it a sec to load

Here's a mikanko game

[safe magnet]

but uh yeah, this board, but with Appo at 4 and 4 cards in hand in MD

[faint wraith]

Salads beat mikanko though since you have non-targeting destruction

World's smartest Kashtira player

[safe magnet]

oh yeah, this was super weird

who the fuck plays Kashtira swordsoul

[faint wraith]

This guy apparently (kinda makes sense with chen)

But you can see how hard he tries to remove her and how often he just doesn't read

[safe magnet]

I mean.. the Kashtira engine has no synergy with Swordsoul Tenyi.. you can't synchro with them since you have only like level 4 tuners.. you can link with them I guess, but why not just play 3 fenrir?

[faint wraith]

Fenrir is limited

[safe magnet]

he's what

[faint wraith]

Kashtira actually has some hits

[safe magnet]

they have Arise Heart.. but Fenrir is limited?

[faint wraith]

Fenrir is limited, unicorn is semi-limited, and the planet is limited

[faint wraith]

Mainly because fenrir is so splashable he's limited

[safe magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/shock-shocker-shocked-black-guy-gif-27526370

damn they have more hits than they do in the TCG

[faint wraith]

I got lucky with the kaiju honestly to get rid of scarekash

Oh yeah tearkash is limited too

Merrli is banned, schieren is semi-limited, havnis is limited, kitkalos is limited, reinoheart is unlimited, sulliek is limited, planet is limited.

[safe magnet]

Oh true, Tear is a deck

haven't seen much of those lately

[faint wraith]

And in md it's actually still very playable (even if lately people have been using it in these stupid 60 card piles)

[safe magnet]

Grass?

[faint wraith]

Yup

[safe magnet]

makes sense

[faint wraith]

Hot take: Snow's ability should be limited to once per chain

[safe magnet]

oh yeah she's not banned here

[faint wraith]

She's unlimited in md

[safe magnet]

somehow she is

[faint wraith]

And I think it's ok for her to be around. I do NOT think her ability should dodge things like bystials and called by so easily

[safe magnet]

I mean at least let her be limited to 1

[faint wraith]

They also run A crystal beast so the trap can search any field spell while in the gy (usually used to get the horus thing)

Like a rainbow trap thing

Or some shit

[safe magnet]

ah yes rainbow bridge of salvation iirc

[faint wraith]

It's a stupid amalgamation

Horus. Tearlaments. Snake eyes. Kashtira. And other generic gy stuff.

[safe magnet]

yeah, it works though

[faint wraith]

I hate it though

It smears the interactive name of tear

[safe magnet]

Tear already had a bad name

considering that it was a Tier 0 deck

[faint wraith]

But since the hits it's become much more fair, and although I wasn't around for those metas (I joined md in the summer) from what I hear tear was the healthiest tier 0 deck out of all tier 0 decks.

[safe magnet]

cuz they all get crazier and crazier

but it was still a Tier 0 strategy that is not fun to play against even today

it's like Lab

[shell helm]

lab....

[faint wraith]

Well now md has unlimited one of the bystials (the blue one) so tear is gonna be struggling a bit more.

[shell helm]

im back for lightsworns and lightsworns alone

[faint wraith]

Oh they're getting new support? (I don't keep up)

[shell helm]

well theyve had it in tcg

but yes

[safe magnet]

They got it a long time ago in Legacy of Destruction, they need the Fiendsmith Engine to be playable though

[shell helm]

i have a better idea than fiendsmith trust

[faint wraith]

Me with Snake Eyes Lyrilusc

[safe magnet]

I mean, the fiendsmith archetype is known to be strong, Lightsworns even have a light fiend

[shell helm]

consider the following: lightsworn horus tear

you know i probably cant use my TCG list isnt Merrli still banned in MD

most of them are commons that I have a million times.. I have enough back ups..

[shell helm]

[safe magnet]

also those are only used for more serious events.. the typical local doesn't require those

[shell helm]

im so sad my sprind -> tear fusion combo is banned

[faint wraith]

Yeah she is

[shell helm]

man

[north robin]

Salad kings, ay?
I’m surprised I haven’t seen them mixed more often. Salads are Cyberse but most of their locks are fire and that does sound like an interesting combination

[safe magnet]

yeah the fire king engine allows for a lot

[safe magnet]

current TCG deck

[north robin]

That end board does seem pretty potent.
Actually I forgot the the lock you get from other effect monsters is by using their effects this turn that isn’t fire. Yet they are still summonable. I can see why Firewall and the disruptions put up by Amblow and The Phoenix/Princess duo

[safe magnet]

mhm, it can be a max of bounce 3 so it's cool, got it negated literally every time I summoned it though, the opponent is almost always gonna try to get rid of it first

used to be a 4 mat appo before the ban

[north robin]

Sadge to see he gets negated first though I can understand since Firewalls bounce is pretty strong. I can only imagine what appo could be in this deck if it wasn’t banned, well we have MD for that.

[safe magnet]

yeah

[safe magnet]

thankfully he can bounce himself and a gazelle to the hand against imperm and stuff, droplet is the biggest issue

if you don't have Roar the Firewall is cooked

[north robin]

I see.
Astounding

[safe magnet]

the streak is still going

the win streak is now gone, I ranked up

[faint wraith]

Sweet

[safe magnet]

technically I have not lost the last 17 games, plat is also easy..

My match history..

https://tenor.com/view/mario-mario-depressed-mario-walking-in-rain-mario-sad-depressed-gif-6943075901738095231

No game takes more than 10 minutes.. I wanna play an insane grind game that lasts an hour..

[faint wraith]

I decided to be a bastard and make runick bystials. We can go at it.

[safe magnet]

...

Ew

that's.. ew

disgusting..

[faint wraith]

: )

Please I need mental help

[safe magnet]

Why'd you have to make Runick

https://tenor.com/view/obiwan-star-wars-obi-wan-gif-10973435

[faint wraith]

It's satisfying watching the banish

[safe magnet]

is it also satisfying flipping skill drain, gozen, there can be only one, rivalry, macro cosmus and synchro zone on people?

[north robin]

Depends on how far you push a person. All it takes is one bad day.

[faint wraith]

No. The way the cards smoothly move from the top of the deck to the banished zone is very satisfying. And I don't use floodgates.

I guess Karma got me cause I went against a salad player and was about to win but the game disconnected me (we were in the match for like 10 to 15 minutes)

[safe magnet]

Initially when I read this I thought that you meant that you Karma Cannoned the Salad player, then I reread the message

[faint wraith]

Nah I don't run traps aside from Branded beast

[north robin]

So do you use the Runicks for the Bystial banish synergy with Rebranded and Dis Pater?
Or do you use the runicks are more of a portable instant fusion or a way to get easily removal off?

[faint wraith]

I dunno I just found the deck on youtube and it works well together (regained lroviding more draws and using ecclisia and quem as tuners for synchros like dis pater)

[north robin]

Gotcha, makes sense

[faint wraith]

Plus the bystials provide a good engine in case you lose runick fountain and can go on the offensive

[hazy ferry]

so many decks I want to build

[north robin]

Yet so little gems to collect (MD wise)

[hazy ferry]

I'm saving up gems for certain archetypes

and engines

[faint wraith]

Bro silver is infested with exodia decks (and Runick is loving it)

[hazy ferry]

Konami please release tempai or white woods next please

[north robin]

It’ll probably come in the next 3-4 packs

[hazy ferry]

[north robin]

And if so…time to main deck of thunder of ruler

Also I expect white woods to release around the same time.

[hazy ferry]

dragon rulers or the return of DL and thunder dragons?

[north robin]

No. This old stall card that activates during the standby phase and it’s not an SR

[hazy ferry]

ah

[north robin]

Would you prefer to play threatening roar?
Yes.
Would you prefer to run ghost ogre instead since that has more applications in various decks along with being a tuner level 3 psychic E-tele target that worlds on the hand or field?
Yes
Is it an N rarity card?
Yes.

Though when Tempai comes, it’s probably best to try to craft some ghost ogres and try them out in a new deck.

[hazy ferry]

oh I know

I have a list ready for when they drop

[north robin]

I’ll make adjustments or maybe new decks when Tempai comes by.
We’re probably gonna have 2-3 months until they come

[faint wraith]

Oppressing Kashtira players. All is well in the world.

[hazy ferry]

https://vxtwitter.com/yu_gi_oh_jp/status/1834064397301325916?t=rMyTej_Is4pgZFz_RD6mpw&s=19 @quiet tiger new jurrac dino cards

[quiet tiger]

[faint wraith]

Wowie

[hazy ferry]

https://ygorganization.com/incominginfourthreetwone/ if you want to see what they do

[quiet tiger]

Damn, i could probably get some dino tuners to throw into the deck. Although it's probably better if i keep the generic berserker and baronne

Actually no, it's specific to jurrac and not generic to dinos

[north robin]

MORE FIRE CARDS

Probably mostly gonna help Dinos more which are a pretty cool deck unless it has misc. though now we have misc as a field spell for two different archetypes. Power creep pain

[quiet tiger]

Misc, my beloved

The reason I don't even want to attempt to play TCG is because my beloved dinos will suck cause misc is only at 1

[safe magnet]

Dinos play Fiendsmith actually

[safe magnet]

The time has arrived Cyber

The Lightsworns have been released

And Ragnaraikas and Ancient Gears too which is dope

[faint wraith]

Guiding quem is in a pack I can pull for her instead of crafting her let's gooo

[safe magnet]

Branded?

Or is it a Toy Box deck?

[faint wraith]

Yeah. While I have the bystial runick deck, since bystials can be used in branded really well imma make branded bystials

[safe magnet]

I hate branded, can't they just ban Albaz already

[faint wraith]

And plus quem is used in the runick deck for synchro stuff

[safe magnet]

And branded fusion

[faint wraith]

Banning albaz would kill the whole deck

[safe magnet]

In White Woods yes

I think

[safe magnet]

That's the point

That deck should die

I don't care that people like the lore, kill it

[faint wraith]

It's already limited to 1

It's BEEN limited to 1

[safe magnet]

I have a vendetta against it, I want it to burn, I have burning hatred flowing through my veins

[faint wraith]

So like I hate Horus

[safe magnet]

Yeah kinda

[faint wraith]

I can respect the hate then. Imma still play it though

[safe magnet]

Horus is at least not a good deck on its own with too much support than needed that just doesn't die through countless formats has an insane grind game and banishes a ton does dumb shit, had no issues, is too consistent and so on

[faint wraith]

Mirrorjade and bystials are the only ones that banish unless they use swordsoul

[safe magnet]

So fuck it, just ban every card associated with branded, even the Sprights, Springgans, Dogmatikas, Despias, the new Light and Darkness Dragon Lord everything

Even though they've done nothing

[faint wraith]

You're also describing floo

[faint wraith]

With this

[safe magnet]

Yeah, but Jade is not once per turn and also they bring it out 3 times during your turn and puppet lock you

[faint wraith]

People don't lock anymore and even branded players agree that sanctifire should be banned. I have never seen anyone bring mirrorjade out more than once per turn.

[safe magnet]

I have, literally every branded player does it to me

Considering the top decks of the format and the new cards that will release, Azamina, I think that Konami should just ban Fusion Summoning as a whole

Shitty mechanic

I'm so done with the nostalgia bait power creep

And dumb fusion summoning that's not even Fusion Summoning

[faint wraith]

Flame swordsman would like a word with you

[safe magnet]

Also an unfun deck because it plays the Snake-Eyes engine and Infernobles

[faint wraith]

Come to MD. We don't have branded players doing that

[safe magnet]

I mean yeah MD players are way weaker than TCG players, like nothing is stopping these people from making strong Snake-Eyes boards and strong Branded boards yet they don't do it

I can't wait for the Fiendsmith engine to come to MD so that it can ruin it too

[quiet tiger]

One of the worst hands I've ever gotten, oh my god

[north robin]

Man, double pill, UCD , and lost world in hand.

[faint wraith]

Damn not even any hand traps

[quiet tiger]

I appear to have incredible luck with my pack openings, yet can rarely get a good hand whilst the enemy doesn't get many handtraps to completely deny me

[faint wraith]

Runick has been lowering my brick chance. Mainly cause every spell is a starter.

[faint wraith]

Runick and branded bystial pack after I crafted the runick stuff

[north robin]

That’s gotta be painful.

[safe magnet]

Bricknos moment

[safe magnet]

that's a good card, no Beatrice yet though

I guess that you can use it in like.. Red Dragon Archfiend? If you're playing Red Lotus

[faint wraith]

That's gonna be a rollback target

[hazy ferry]

beatrice is in the game

[safe magnet]

yeah, but she's not accessible due to the lack of the Fiendsmith engine

literally 2 decks can access her consistently

and they're not super consistent

and just bricky

[faint wraith]

If they really wanted to Bystials could

[safe magnet]

yeah that's one of the decks

the other is.. well.. burning abyss

[faint wraith]

Virtual world too

[hazy ferry]

[hazy ferry]

update only lost to SE fire king other than that it was easy to beat stun and centurion

[hazy ferry]

https://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_detail.php?page=details&id=2047

fable

[north robin]

Oh yeah, Fable.
I only know them by two ways.
The solo mode and the loaner deck in the world championship 2011 yugioh game over the nexus

[grizzled coral]

I only know them as the Fiendsmith Tract target

[north robin]

Oh yeah! They are also that

[grizzled coral]

Also how did I only just find out theres a yugioh channel in here gg

[north robin]

Probably since it’s buried under all the other OS content stuff

[grizzled coral]

Yeah ig

[north robin]

Though it seems that more people are becoming aware of this channel recently which is cool

[grizzled coral]

Ig its more likely people see it when it's more active

[north robin]

True

[hazy ferry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVP17pO5epE

[hazy ferry]

rescue ace ftw

4 win streak against: Voiceless X2 , Sky striker, jowgen stun

[north robin]

Let’s go! Rescue ace!

[faint wraith]

Please tell me you don't end on the same endboard every single time you go first

[hazy ferry]

yes

would you like to see my replays?

[faint wraith]

Sure.

[hazy ferry]

having fun with these decks in the duel trials

[faint wraith]

I tried the pile deck. It only solidified my hatred for it. However..

I resolved grass against someone who left themselves with an 18 card deck, and that was a power trip like no other.

[hazy ferry]

for me, as much I dislike playing against it. I quite enjoyed playing it, figuring out the combos and such

same for vanquish soul

[safe magnet]

I played Snake-Eyes for that challenge, I may have messed up the combo, but even with zero knowledge on how to properly play the Snake-Eyes strategy I was still winning... THIS DECK IS BUSTED LMAO

[hazy ferry]

it is

[safe magnet]

One of the games I bricked and I still won.. with 3 unplayable cards in hand

[hazy ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/muelsyse-arknights-mumu-note-noted-gif-muelsyse-arknights-mumu-arknights-arknights-mumu-arknights-muelsyse-gif-652626132390303123

[hazy ferry]

Gonna stay at tier 2 diamond and wait for the dc cup

[hazy ferry]

I hear that tempai drops in October for master duel

[faint wraith]

Uh oh

[safe magnet]

First place at my mini locals today

Managed to pick up this guy from the draft

he has some issues though, like the logo not being centered and the borders not being equally big

[hazy ferry]

SUPER POLY FTW

[safe magnet]

I lost seven coin tosses in a roll..

I hate this game.. rolling dice is better..

And it always gave me literally 0 non engine

no handtraps at all

Awesome game

[hazy ferry]

It is how it is

[north robin]

True.
In case like that you either take a break, embrace blind second decks, or in the worst scenarios…1 bad day

[hazy ferry]

^

I could have taken a break too, considering how much rescue ace can brick but if you have enough materials to craft cards go for exosister or try blind second swordsoul

[faint wraith]

I highly recommend blind second Mikanko. It's really fun and adaptive to different situations.

[hazy ferry]

Nah

Gonna wait for tempai

[faint wraith]

But can Tempai also go first and wall a bunch of meta decks with hu-li pass? I don't think so

[hazy ferry]

To each their own

[grand cave]

What about chronomaly crystal chrononaut t-pose turbo

[safe magnet]

I expect them to on release or soon after release hit Sangen Summoning to 1

[north robin]

Actually, yeah. With a load of hand traps and spheres pass and stump a few players due to the amount of non-engine you can play

[hazy ferry]

The deck can still function

https://youtu.be/rPj9dRzKspo?si=Oo74QS7jGDSaHhV-

[grand cave]

🗿 🗿

[hazy ferry]

Dc Cup is tomorrow right?

[north robin]

What you see before the Machu Mech FTK (idk. It could work in Chonomoly)

[north robin]

I think it’s the 18th

[hazy ferry]

diamond 1 is crazy

though people forget about reinforcements' effect so that's a plus but man I had some crazy duels

[hazy ferry]

ah yes my go to target for prosperity

[safe magnet]

yeah, but it's way weaker and once the Sangen is gone it's not coming back

[hazy ferry]

I’ll still play it

[north robin]

At that point it’ll be like Crusadia or Numeron due to protection being limited along with the searching.

Though when it comes to MD, Sagen will probably either stay unlimited or go to two for a preemptive hit to test the waters

At least…for its time of release

[hazy ferry]

Maybe it will take them the same amount of time it took to limit ash or wanted?

[north robin]

Probably

It’s be a way to sell the deck and once it’s out of the selection rotation, it’ll start putting more of a price on them

[hazy ferry]

Same for fiendsmith too

[north robin]

Probably.
It’s what they’ve done with previous packs

[faint wraith]

Womp womp

[north robin]

Rage turn 1.

[faint wraith]

Dies to 1 raigeki but I had to get creative (It's fun that Pudicai's wording of the opponent special summoning the monster matters)

[faint wraith]

Other womp womp moment

[hazy ferry]

thank you bagooska. ||(they had duel lock up)|| won in the end

[faint wraith]

Bagooska more like BaGOATska

[quiet tiger]

My going 2nd hand was so goated they immediately forfeit

[faint wraith]

Myrmelleo the goat taking down Numeron one field spell at a time

[north robin]

They sensed the presence of getting Alt Ash’d

[north robin]

That is the Numeron player of all time.
Not Goleming Sera
Throwing away your other searcher in pathfinder
And running mallet (and did they brick on a MAX C to use it?)

[faint wraith]

It's a Numeron player you can't expect them to be smart.

[faint wraith]

So my guess as to why they did these things

They didn't golem Sera because they saw a low attack monster for otks

They spent their normal summon on Lava Golem so they couldn't properly use pathfinder

I got nothing on the mallet thing

[quiet tiger]

I feel EXTREMELY robbed

[faint wraith]

I mean that just happens when you face egyption gods with no backrow

[quiet tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/rayleigh-one-piece-crying-gif-7583256620608062087

Maybe it's about time I start actually constructing the ew-bel deck

[faint wraith]

Remembering that one solo gate where they give you a shitty hero deck and put you against egyption gods

[quiet tiger]

Haven't really gotten around to it as any URs I pull, Newish would tell me that they're pretty good and not make them into materials. So I've just continued to play dinos

[faint wraith]

While yes promethian is good she's not used in Yubel

[quiet tiger]

Idk, blame newish

[safe magnet]

I told him to build Salads though

[quiet tiger]

He threw this MD yubel deck at me

[safe magnet]

Also she is used with Ambloowhale

They have must play fires as part of their Combo and they can go for the Zealantis OTK considering that Fiendsmith is not in the game yet

[quiet tiger]

[safe magnet]

I am building one myself, kinda

Anyways, Princess Cologne sucks ass.. the deck needs more support.. please Konami.. pleasseee

[safe magnet]

I bricked against Runick stun and he activated 2 Fissure, fuck this game

[faint wraith]

Runick stun is cringe. Runick bystials isn't.

[safe magnet]

And then I got Maxx C-ed by Horus and he played Nib for some reason, fuck Maxx C and Nib

[safe magnet]

I have lost the last 25 coin flips

...

For 3 days I have not won a coin flip

[faint wraith]

Down to the wire damn

[faint wraith]

Just play a going second deck. Then you'll win every coin flip

[safe magnet]

If I have 5 bricks in a 60 card deck, play 40 non engine and am going second I will either draw a going first hand with no non engine, only bricks with no non engine or only non engine with 2 of them being once per turn duplicates.. that'll happen 4 out of 5 games

Unless I'm playing irl

My consistency there is better

[faint wraith]

Why the hell are you playing 40 non-engine in a 60 card deck-

[safe magnet]

I just used it as an example

To show how god awful my luck is

[faint wraith]

Well of course you're going to brick if only a third of your deck is engine

[safe magnet]

I drew the same searchable one ofs that are not starters in my opening hand 4 games in a row.. with no non engine..

And those same one ofs are almost always in my hand every game

[faint wraith]

Maybe just play a different deck for a couple games. Maybe that'll reset your luck.

[safe magnet]

... Tried that.. didn't work

[faint wraith]

Make them into 2. Then they'll never appear

[safe magnet]

I don't have the space for that

And it's not even the one ofs I would want to draw, it's always fucking baby kirin, circle of the fire kings, roar, rage..

[faint wraith]

Have someone watch you play. That'll make the game shape up.

[safe magnet]

AND EVERY FUCKING TIME I MAXX C WHEN I'VE BRICKED THE OPP ALWAYS HAS A CALLED BY OR ASH

But I never have those when they Maxx C

I can't be hard stuck plat 1, I can't accept that as my peak, I was smooth sailing until now and I suddenly started losing? It doesn't work like that

[faint wraith]

Are you running 60 or 40 cards?

[safe magnet]

45

Should have around 11 non engine

[faint wraith]

Can I see your decklist? (I don't doubt your skills and I know you're better than me but I wanna see to try and help)

[safe magnet]

Actually it's more cuz of the called by

[safe magnet]

This, but in Master Duel Maxx C instead of Droll, 1 Tactics 2 Called By

[faint wraith]

Hmm.. does your brick hand typically end up with mostly hand traps or engine that can't play through interruptions?

[safe magnet]

My brick hand is literally always Baby Kirin, Circle of the Fire Kings, the Salad Traps and Gazelle or Circle, happens like every 3 games at least once in MD

[faint wraith]

So engine that can't play through any disruption. Yeah I can't really help with that aside from maybe cutting a couple hts or board breakers for more starters.

[safe magnet]

Yeah I'm kinda just super unlucky

Offline this deck is super consistent and Maxx C does not help

[faint wraith]

Then you could probably swap maxx c with more starters or something?

[safe magnet]

There's only one starter that is Lady Debug and that starter dies to one imperm

[faint wraith]

Are there no other starters- and isn't gazelle and another salad monster full combo?

[safe magnet]

Gazelle alone is full combo, dies to one interruption though, Ponix is a starter technically, but only for the fire King engine if you can't summon a second body on top of him and Garunix, Lady Debug is played in solo salads, but dies to one imperm if you don't have specifically spinny and gazelle in hand, some people play terrarop, it wastes a Stallio and also dies to one imperm or any kind of interruption and you can't even link with it

[faint wraith]

The way you describe fire king engine makes me think it doesn't really synergize with salads. What is the appeal?

[safe magnet]

It does, it likes destroying, dumps any fire in deck, spams many bodies for free and also provides additional interruptions

Ponix + most of the salad monsters is full combo

[faint wraith]

But if it doesn't help you access the rest of your deck when you need it, does it really work well?

[safe magnet]

It does

Garunix pops baby kirin, baby kirin sends ANY fire monster from your deck, send gazelle, make princess, full combo

• 2 additional bodies

[faint wraith]

Ok, but are you getting those cards for the combo?

[safe magnet]

And an interruption+ 3K+ body next turn

[faint wraith]

Not saying to remove the fk, just rethink the ratios you have.

[safe magnet]

The combo bridges the two engines through Horse Prince

I'm playing the FK engine at the lowest required

A way to technically make the deck more consistent is... Snake-Eyes

[faint wraith]

If it dies to one interruption, then maybe the issue is the deck just isn't great (no offense). Platinum is just the start of the interruptions. Diamond will be way worse.

[faint wraith]

Too expensive for now unless you have a ton of ur dust to spare.

[safe magnet]

With a normal hand I can play through 4 interruptions and end on an Omni negate and 3 pops, when I brick which is rare offline common online because I keep drawing the same one ofs I can't do that

[faint wraith]

Hmm.. Yeah I think it's just a luck issue. It'll eventually get better.

[safe magnet]

I hope

If you are available we can play some games later

[faint wraith]

Just gotta play through it (if you wanna try a going second deck though I suggest Mikanko)

[safe magnet]

If I build a new deck it'd be Yubel, just gotta play meta if my luck is shit

[faint wraith]

Mikanko can play through a lot blind second, and even going first can wall a surprising amount of decks.

[safe magnet]

Oh dang I'm on 1% gotta go. See ya later!

[faint wraith]

See ya!

[safe magnet]

Hey, if you're available, wanna duel?

[faint wraith]

Sure. I'm on my alt, though. So I only got traptrix right now (big hassle to swap accounts)

[safe magnet]

I see

[faint wraith]

What's your id?

[safe magnet]

Here's my info

You probably can't tell which my favorite monster in the game is by this profile

[faint wraith]

Hmm it could be anyone

[safe magnet]

Oh shit, I pulled this guy from a free pack

[faint wraith]

Followed you

[safe magnet]

followed you back

invited you to a room

[faint wraith]

I'm in

[safe magnet]

nice

glhf

I lost the coinflip again\

https://tenor.com/view/fma-roy-mustang-mustang-roy-sad-gif-12080741

I'm gonna cry

oh yeah Exceed is played in this deck, I forgot

3 backrow and a Reflesia..

ok.. let's see how this plays out

I am misplaying so damn hard...

[faint wraith]

Damm.. gg

[safe magnet]

yeah

I can't win a coin toss..

[faint wraith]

I misplayed too

[safe magnet]

gg though, that was tough, I was so scared of the backrow

[faint wraith]

You did get a good hand though

[safe magnet]

yeah, thankfully

[faint wraith]

My backrow was bottomless, nightmare, and holeutea

With rafflesia acting as a 4th backrow option

[safe magnet]

I was scared mostly of Gravediggers

so I hesitated when going for the Ponix summon

[safe magnet]

Yeah, Tactics saved me

[faint wraith]

I unfortunately didn't have it

[faint wraith]

Bro that rafflesia steal fucked me up so bad

[safe magnet]

Tripple Tactics Talent my goat

[faint wraith]

Also with almiraj I should've protected arachnocampa. Forgot what you were targetting lmao
