The Yu-Gi-Oh! Channel

[north robin]

True

Which variant are you playing? Pure, invoked, blind second, something janky?

[radiant spire]

I built it in a way so it can go first and second

turn 1 just floodgate trolldespair and turn 2 just flood with talents and lava golems

[north robin]

Gotcha

I’ve only done pure (MD) , blind second (TCG), and Invoked (TCG)

I’ve been doing some testing with pend witch since it’s an extra searcher for your lower Vaylantz

[radiant spire]

Ive been liking this

this is what ill run in the tcg too

Just instead of maxx c I might do slumber and some kaijus or raigeki

[grand cave]

What the hell is fossil dyna doing here

[radiant spire]

Its searchable

[grand cave]

This isnt stun

https://tenor.com/view/skeletor-wat-what-gif-18497036

[radiant spire]

Its not stun, its gaylantz

[grand cave]

Hang on

[grand cave]

Explain?

Oh my god

[radiant spire]

Read gallant granite

[grand cave]

You make gallant granite

What the hell

[radiant spire]

And I search secret vill so have fun outing it

[grand cave]

You are insane my good sir

[radiant spire]

This deck is like 15 bucks so might as well try it out

[north robin]

Oh yeah, Vaylantz Lockdown.
Pretty good way to learn the mechanics of the deck and what it can do

I’ve got a different variant based more on combos with Shinome along with the field spell/Other pend (Also I’m not home so unfortunately this is the best I’ve got of my deck)

[radiant spire]

Dinomist based

[north robin]

I’ll have to replace Selene though due to not having anyone sent to grave that isn’t named a Vaylantz. Maybe a second duke

True

I play Rex for the bridge brick.
Banish 1 Vaylantz from hand and Rex for anything I need

[radiant spire]

Makes sense

[north robin]

Pendwitch also works as a midway bridge too for the spellcasters

[radiant spire]

why pendwitch actually?

Shes really good ik but just trying to find the reason behind it

[north robin]

Pendwitch can destroy herself and a scale for any level 4 or lower pend on normal

Normally you don’t need your normal and it basically makes her an extra small bridge for shonome

It’s a high scale as well in 8

It can also be used to eat an imperm as well along with getting something like Dominator duke in the extra if you happen to draw it

[radiant spire]

ah

Makes sense

[grand cave]

I play majespecter

[north robin]

How unfortunate that the link-2 is one of the only monsters in the archetype without targeting/destruction protection

[raven fable]

its a free summon? i guess

you could play it in fabled

and thats kinda it

[hazy ferry]

or resonators? Though it's unneeded

[grand cave]

In an era where snake eye ash and the fiendsmith exists you think one free summon for a semi niche requirement and some attack lowering is gonna be anything but trash

[raven fable]

every card has a use

[grand cave]

This card is in the wrong year

And it has to be destroyed for its 400 atk lowering

[raven fable]

maybe there is gonna be a archetype

[hazy ferry]

^

[grand cave]

I mean technically its a fire king

[raven fable]

i mean cursed fire is long enough for a archetypal name

[grand cave]

Cant wait for fire king synchro to become a rogue strat

[raven fable]

rogue strats are sick though

[raven fable]

looking at the cards in ROA, union maybe finally go rogue

[hazy ferry]

ABC time

[raven fable]

i think specifically ABC

"Once per turn, you can either: Target 1 Effect Monster you control; equip this card to that target, OR: Unequip this card and Special Summon it. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, destroy this card instead. You can return this card equipped to a monster to your hand; equip 1 appropriate, banished Union monster to 1 monster you control as an Equip Spell, as if it were equipped by that Union monster's effect, and if you do, Special Summon this card from your hand. You can only use this effect of "Union Pilot" once per turn."

[hazy ferry]

ngl, I hope tenpai comes to md soon

rank matchmaking is dumb

[faint wraith]

My lyrilusc deck will have a hayday

[raven fable]

i love using hungry burger in the ladder, people dont know its cool and how it works

(people must not know you need 2 cards to start a "combo")

[hazy ferry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgCxaBrQho4

[safe magnet]

RYZEOL IS FUCKING UNREAL?!?!? WHY IS THAT NOT A ONCE PER TURN???

[safe magnet]

.. this deck is so broken holy shit

[raven fable]

oh cool, a niche xyz card

[faint wraith]

I can't tell, but are any of those entire turn locks or do they only lock after you use them? Because if it's the latter, Lunalight's gonna go crazy

[grizzled coral]

every maindeck monster locks for rest of turn

none are whole turn

[faint wraith]

Lunalight doing fusion plays and then using this as an engine for their rank 4 plays

[grizzled coral]

yeah

could also see play in fluffal?

[faint wraith]

Maybe. Any deck that can do their plays while also doing some xyz plays could work

[radiant spire]

New sleeves :3

[faint wraith]

Woah : O (That dragon that I hate)

[radiant spire]

Womp womp

[faint wraith]

Negate my effects? I can handle that. I can't handle it negating my normal summon..

And it banishes itself for cost so you can't even negate it with imperm or veiler

[radiant spire]

Duster the field spell, they always forget auxila eff

[safe magnet]

I sure do hope that the Konami official merch only rules don't prohibit you from using these in events (I am not super familiar with these rules, this is a genuine concern)

[grizzled coral]

u can use them at locals

[safe magnet]

That's nice

[grizzled coral]

also used to have these sleeves from the same artist (i think?) but traptrix

[safe magnet]

A person at my locals had some Underworld Goddess of the Closed World sleeves that had the same or a similar artstyle

[radiant spire]

They do prohibit me

So when I wanna go to a regional I have to switch

[safe magnet]

[radiant spire]

But Im ass so I will never get to that point

[safe magnet]

Dragon Shield?

[radiant spire]

Ye then I just put on the white sleeves

[safe magnet]

Ooo that's a nice color

[radiant spire]

those are cute, unfortunately i hate traptrix

[safe magnet]

Damn.. what did the plants do

[grizzled coral]

gravediggers trap hole

[safe magnet]

Yeah, I got hit by 3 in a single turn, wasn't very funny

[radiant spire]

Being children

[safe magnet]

I mean, many cards in the game.. are children?

[grizzled coral]

yeah i did that 2 someone at my old locals and he got really mad at me and said im unskilled and should play a real deck (he was on tear )

[safe magnet]

LMAOOOO

[radiant spire]

Okay, I want you to understand the concept of traptrix

Traptrix are a bunch of huge plants and insects trying to lure in prey

[safe magnet]

Still better than getting hit by shifter imo

[grizzled coral]

tear can play through shifter

[safe magnet]

w.. what?

[radiant spire]

Their way of luring are literal makeshift puppets of children

[radiant spire]

True

[safe magnet]

Don't they like.. entirely rely on the GY?

[grizzled coral]

no not rly

they can still ss a bunch for free

[safe magnet]

I mean.. they only lure goblins?

[grizzled coral]

i just like flipping purple cards

[safe magnet]

Oh yeah, they can make abyss dweller I guess, useless under shifter.. Are they locked into water? Can they make a Bagooska?

[radiant spire]

There are 2 types of trix players

The dr disrespects

And the trap flippers

[grizzled coral]

no but i dont think they run gooska

[safe magnet]

Why won't they? It's one of the best Rank 4s?

[radiant spire]

Locked into water kekw

[grizzled coral]

[safe magnet]

Oh yeah, they're darks for some reason

[radiant spire]

[safe magnet]

I keep forgetting that

[grizzled coral]

they can make bahamut for toad or dweller which r both better

[radiant spire]

still need a kaleido and rulk

[grizzled coral]

especially bc their endboard doesnt have many link monsters in it

so if u make gooska

u turn off all ur own interaction

[safe magnet]

I mean it's kinda a White Woods situation isn't it? They run Gooska right?

[grizzled coral]

white woods is a stun deck

tear isnt

[safe magnet]

I guess

Does Tear run Rabbit?

[radiant spire]

What tear flavor

[safe magnet]

or is milling too dangerous for them to play Rabbit?

[radiant spire]

Usually that

Same reason why tear doesnt run handtraps

[safe magnet]

I see

Do they play the Fiendsmith?

or is there no space?

[radiant spire]

There is space

[grizzled coral]

they play it ye

[safe magnet]

[raven fable]

how is the artist called

[radiant spire]

Busted yee yee ahh engine ofc they must play

[raven fable]

i wanna see more of that art

[grizzled coral]

idk

[raven fable]

[raven fable]

do you know?

[grizzled coral]

random aliexpress shops often dont credit their artists

or its just stolen entirely so

[raven fable]

sent me the link

i will find it

[grizzled coral]

dont have anyomr

[radiant spire]

nyo

[radiant spire]

Ye

[safe magnet]

I tried reverse image searching them

All I got out of it is that the artist is japanese

[grizzled coral]

shocker

[radiant spire]

So shocking

fr fr

I hope these sleeves dont get too dirty

My diabell sleeves kinda got to that state

[safe magnet]

I think that I found the artist's twitter

I won't be sending a link to it cuz they do content not fit for this server

their name is cake_rabbits though

[radiant spire]

Dms

[raven fable]

found them

cake rabbits

[safe magnet]

[faint wraith]

Me

[faint wraith]

We do

[grizzled coral]

I've never seen it in a tear list personally in tcg atleast. Can see it in md maybe bc gooska pass is good into the roach

[raven fable]

gooska pass is a valid tactic if you know the oppontent doesnt have a link monster

but everyone runs s:p so

[faint wraith]

Oh I thought you were talking about trix

Trix uses it as a backup plan or when under the roach

Sera tapir set pass is a pretty decent board

[grizzled coral]

yeah ive done it many times

nearly all the decks i play are different flavours of gooska pass

[faint wraith]

My body is a machine that turns full combo into gooska pass

[grizzled coral]

Vaalmonica is the best gooska pass deck of all time

just need to draw crossout for nib

[safe magnet]

I mean.. Vaalmonica can barely be considered a deck.. it does.. nothing

[grizzled coral]

fym

[safe magnet]

even though it has had like 5 waves of support

[grizzled coral]

the interaction it puts up is really good

[safe magnet]

through 2 interruptions?

[grizzled coral]

mfw the rogue deck cant play through 2 handtraps

[safe magnet]

I mean.. it's not even.. rogue...

Vaalmonica.. is below Rogue status..

[grizzled coral]

its just not tho

[safe magnet]

I.. have not seen it do anything... I've literally never seen the link 2 getting summoned

[grizzled coral]

because the link 2 is ass and not part of the endboard

its like turn 3/4 card

[safe magnet]

What is the endboard?

[faint wraith]

Gooska

[grizzled coral]

zebufera with followed rythm + gooska

gooska + 2 non targetting s/t removal + bounce to hand

and if ur on unchained stuff u can use yama sharvara to reborn (zebu or gooska) because its a soft opt

also pretty good fiendsmith deck because dimonno is light fiend

[faint wraith]

I like my lyrilusc deck. Has a good endboard of ensemblue + UDF if going first (may be able to sneak in a linkuriboh or assembled nightningale in there) and lava golems and kaijus if you're running a going second build

[safe magnet]

hm I see, I'm guessing that it's bricky, has few starters and has to heavily rely on other engines to function

[grizzled coral]

eh not really u mostly play it pure

unchained stuff is legit just 1 sharvara in maindeck

• yama

[safe magnet]

no rage or any of the traps?

[grizzled coral]

no

its bc yama effect reborns zebufera

and zebufera copy trap is soft once per turn

[radiant spire]

How dare you insult my deck like that

[radiant spire]

Actually nvm this insult is worse

[radiant spire]

This, this is what makes the endboard good

[grizzled coral]

its my deck too 😭 ?

oh

u mean

centurion

or?

[radiant spire]

NO

[grizzled coral]

[radiant spire]

Vaal is more than gooska pass

smh

[grizzled coral]

yeah i agree

but its the best at doing it

[radiant spire]

Everyone who thinks Vaal does nothing is a dunce

[grizzled coral]

even though i prefer zebu + ip endboard

because ip into second zebu or duralume

is funni

also the attack dec effect of angello is my favourite shit in the game

feels like some anime secret effect

[radiant spire]

I like the unchained stuff because it increases survivability more

Which makes OTK go really hard

[grizzled coral]

yeah

i tried it as a going second deck with striker cards once

was kinda fun

[radiant spire]

I had to dish out 17k damage in 1 turn within time

Eraditare increases the deck's consitency by a whole fucking lot

Putting back broken scales from the extra is so needed

[grizzled coral]

idk if i would call that consistency

but yeah it is rlly nice

[radiant spire]

Now vaalmonica can go infinite with it's resources

[grizzled coral]

ye

[radiant spire]

So its a grind game now

[grizzled coral]

unfortunate that creation sucks though#

like why do we have 4 trap cards

[radiant spire]

Creation is turbo ass

[grizzled coral]

if creation was like

any spell that gains/pays lp

nstead

[radiant spire]

I use it as a going second thing

[grizzled coral]

ye its alright for that

because 3 counters into duralume but also just play raigeki at that point idk

[radiant spire]

Field search scale, scale pitch creation, scale up, eff field spell

A really expensive change of heart you can link off for a duralume

[grizzled coral]

widow anchor better

[radiant spire]

I am not running striker in this

[grizzled coral]

its fun

for like 1 time and then never again

[radiant spire]

Also all of this fucking fuwalossing makes me pissed already

Shit isnt even out yet and Im tired of it

Im gonna run heavy slump fr

[grizzled coral]

ye i mean

vaal is decent into it

but still cringe ahh card

[radiant spire]

My bud is already playing slump

If I wanna play SEFK I will side it

Playing centurion I wont

Because then its a draw 1

[grizzled coral]

maybe i go back to birds

[radiant spire]

I will murder you

[grizzled coral]

surely no1 plays purulia anymore

[grizzled coral]

wtfrog

[radiant spire]

I thought you had friend potential

[grizzled coral]

i was joking 😭

[radiant spire]

But all you were was a nasty floo player in disguise

I am not trusting yo ass

[grizzled coral]

i just like penguins

they r cute

but then i played the deck

and nearly got stabbed at locals

[radiant spire]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-fern-anger-angry-annoyed-gif-5137243747516951410

[grizzled coral]

[grizzled coral]

i will go burn my robinas

🙏

[radiant spire]

send me a vid

[grizzled coral]

bet (i dont have a way to set them on fire sry)

[radiant spire]

Then we will never form an alliance

[north robin]

||Do a poorly edited greenscreen of them being on fire||

[grizzled coral]

wait ur right

[radiant spire]

no

[north robin]

Understandable

Also fellow Vaalmonica enjoyer. How do you pronounce the field spell?

[radiant spire]

Shut-

I always just do the "say the line bart" meme with the field spell

So its like

"I activate the field spell that searches the monster that starts the combo that searches the extender"

[grizzled coral]

agatha, logical

[north robin]

Understandable

[grizzled coral]

i just skip the middle bit

[north robin]

Thank you. Always a wondered what it was

[grizzled coral]

or say kok

[grizzled coral]

i dont think thats actually it

just how i do it

[north robin]

Ok

[radiant spire]

agatho-kako-logical

split it in 3 parts

[north robin]

Sounds about right

[grizzled coral]

yeah now just gotta figure out how to actually say that

[radiant spire]

I can say it just fine, though I cannot say it without giving my opponent a brain aneurysm

[radiant spire]

And I just prefer saying this

Once you learn how to pronounce it it doesnt become a problem

Its like interplanetarypurplythornydragon

If I am correct that is its name

[grizzled coral]

yeah i think so

[radiant spire]

Did it from memory

[north robin]

Gotcha

[radiant spire]

With words like that i reccommend splitting it into parts

Anyways

@safe magnet swordsoul support

[radiant spire]

Grab your lighter

[safe magnet]

But I don't even play Swordsoul

[safe magnet]

GIF instantly saved

[safe magnet]

Tenpai does

[safe magnet]

Birds play Shifter and Fissure which kills most meta decks so it's honestly not a bad choice

Empen is also just.. a good card

Also birds can't trigger Princess which is very good

[safe magnet]

Chain Crossout

[safe magnet]

The cooler birds

[radiant spire]

Those are not 100% birds

There's like, 5

[safe magnet]

But mostly birds, an elephant, a horse and a tiger are played in pure and the rest is birds

[radiant spire]

Idk what you cook but kirin gets played outside pure too

[safe magnet]

I? Didn't say that he isn't played outside of pure? It's just that when splashed in a fire deck, you play only Kirin and Arvata and the rest are birds, some decks play the baby kirin too

[grizzled coral]

I dont own one

[safe magnet]

Don't listen to Lily, embrace the birds, become the worst enemy of those meta players, activate shifter every draw phase

https://tenor.com/view/evil-elmo-fire-on-die-gif-19148549

[grizzled coral]

Nah I already activated shifter every standby

I think my current deck is better than birds anyway

[safe magnet]

What're you currently playing?

[grizzled coral]

Vanquish Soul Mimighoul

[safe magnet]

Huh

That's a thing?

[grizzled coral]

Yeah

[safe magnet]

As a Mimighoul Enjoyer, may I please see thy decklist?

[grizzled coral]

I only have it in paper can take a pic in a bit need to get out of bed

[safe magnet]

I see

Don't the decks conflict though?

They both require their normal summons as far as I know

They're both great under TCBOO so that's a plus

And both run Shifter

Not sure how you find the space for both.. a 50 card deck maybe?

Still not a lot of room for non engine

One for one is pretty good I guess, both decks have level 1s

[grizzled coral]

Nah its 42

VS doesn't have any level 1s

[safe magnet]

[safe magnet]

The slime is not a level 1?

[grizzled coral]

Also u don't use the mimighoul normal summon

[grizzled coral]

The slime is level 6 I think, also hed unplayably bad

So I dont use him

I've actually never seen a list that runs him

[safe magnet]

Huh yeah, idk why I remember him being a level 1 dark..

[safe magnet]

Damn.. how?

I thought that you'd normal the like, Mimighouls and use something like Stake Your Soul to special the Vanquishes

[grizzled coral]

I only run 3 mimighoul monsters

Its much more of a VS with mimighoul than a mimighoul deck

[safe magnet]

How much non engine?

[grizzled coral]

I dont remember exactly but its somewhere around 10 ( if fenrir counts as non engine)

[safe magnet]

That's pretty good

[grizzled coral]

@safe magnet

camera sucks lmk if u cant see any

[safe magnet]

Huh, interesting

Dimpley?

[grizzled coral]

Dempsey?

He can search razen

[safe magnet]

The Battlin Boxer

[safe magnet]

[grizzled coral]

Main synergy is that they are earths, which vanquish soul is severely lacking good ones because pantera sucks giga hard. And that Jiaolongs reveal 1 fire effect changes the battle position of any monster on the field so if u have jiaolong + room u can summon dragon and then flip it up to boardwipe

jialong is basically mimighoul master in this deck

[safe magnet]

Damn, that's hella sick

And you even have the rip 2 flip

Do you only use Rideheart for the attribute reveal? He's a level four so I can see the rank 4 plays, but he does lock you into XYZs

[grizzled coral]

I just use him because hes a searchable fire off of fenrir, the extra body/rank 4 comes up more than you would think though

[safe magnet]

I thought that you'd want to keep your ability to summon links

[grizzled coral]

not really

it only locks for rest of turn

can just go into rock before u summon him

[safe magnet]

Hmm

Are you gonna be switching the Mimighouls and Riseheart for the Ryzeols when they come out?

[grizzled coral]

no i dontt rly see any reason to

and if i can afford raizeol id just play it pure lol

[safe magnet]

Makes sense

If Malice isn't mad expensive I'd play the deck

[grizzled coral]

Same it looks dope

[safe magnet]

It's a Cyberse deck that doesn't die to shifter which I find the most appealing about it... I don't like the fact that they're all waifus though and their end boards are generic Cyberse end boards

[grizzled coral]

i like the waifus

[safe magnet]

I don't hate the art, but the fact that since they're waifus they'll all be high rarity and expensive

[grizzled coral]

waifu tax is a myth trust

[safe magnet]

Diabell is still expensive...

Her price hasn't dropped much since the reprint

At least S:P's price was lowered with like 20$

They also made Ulkanix a secret when she should've been an ultra

[grizzled coral]

or a super

[safe magnet]

Nah Super would've been too low

[radiant spire]

Wtfrog you mean too low

The highest rarity FK is ultra

Super is fine

Or ult

FK is one of the more affordable structures with decent power

If you start making support expensive then the interest in the structure lowers

[safe magnet]

We are not in the OCG

[hazy ferry]

Tempai comes October 10th

[safe magnet]

Sadly

[hazy ferry]

https://ygorganization.com/master-duel-new-pack-pre-emptive-limitation/

[safe magnet]

It's cool that they're releasing the new link 2 though

That isn't gonna be out for months in the TCG

[faint wraith]

Sweet. Free wins most of the time

[safe magnet]

All of the time

With nothing limited it'll be easy

[faint wraith]

No I'm talking about going against tenpai

[safe magnet]

What

[faint wraith]

I say most of the time because Lyrilusc will only lose if they open droplet

[safe magnet]

They activate shifter in Draw Phase birb.. it's Joever
...

[faint wraith]

I can make assembled under shifter, Atlas

[safe magnet]

Dark hole

Sangen summoning

[faint wraith]

Assembled effect stops it from being destroyed

Lemme paint the whole picture

On how assembled counters tenpai

Assembled nightningale can detach a material from itself to make it so that for the rest of the turn (lingering effect) Lyrilusc monsters I control can't be destroyed by battle or card effect, and I take no battle damage whatsoever.

If I use cobalt sparrow to summon assembled, she gains targeting protection. If I use beryl canary, she can't have control of her switched.

So if I make assembled with Cobalt sparrow, the only way they can stop the effect from going off is by chaining droplet when I shotgun it

[safe magnet]

You should honestly just make Fucho under shifter

[faint wraith]

Ok but I love lyrilusc and I can also keep my other lyrilusc monsters safe like ensemblue robin or recital starling

[safe magnet]

I mean idk how much you need the GY, and you must also consider that the majority of the average Tenpai deck is non engine

[faint wraith]

While the graveyard is needed for full combos, assembled singlehandedly counters 90% of what tenpai uses. I could easily just go with assembled pass or assembled + other xyz pass if I have a decent hand

[radiant spire]

Where did that logic come from

[safe magnet]

I see, kinda strange that they aren't played in the TCG if they counter Tenpai so well

[radiant spire]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-gif-26460616

[safe magnet]

Fuwaross is like 10x cheaper there, like almost every card

[radiant spire]

Huh.

[safe magnet]

Everything is cheaper and lower rarity + more accessible there

[radiant spire]

Who the fuck was talking about fuwa

I dont remember talking about fuwa

[faint wraith]

It's not really that well known, and hard to play as an engine. Not many decks can make rank ones, and the ones that do can't take advantage of her as much.

[radiant spire]

This is literally the concept of "cheap deck becomes expensive -> people leave"

[faint wraith]

People only ever use assembled nightningale as a zeus pilot in decks that make her.

[safe magnet]

Konami has released cards at a higher rarity in the TCG than in the OCG countless times, their interest in the TCG is not the players, we can't get good new cards at low rarities

[faint wraith]

They don't know her true power

[safe magnet]

They constantly do that, Magia is a good example

So I said that we're not in the OCG so Ulkanix being anything lower than an ultra is impossible

[radiant spire]

https://tenor.com/view/zukkan-the-ones-within-anime-sad-stressed-gif-16642818

[faint wraith]

Thing is that's not even the summer Fjorm that's dominating the meta right now, this is an older unit

[north robin]

Im aware. Though power creep makes everything like a yugioh card with how much text bloat there is

[faint wraith]

Bro these things make Endymion or however you spell it seem like a light read, and honestly most of the text in feh doesn't fully matter and is basic stuff that's on everything

I was out for a while and came back about a week or so ago, and while I got back for Emblem Sigurd, I missed crazy skills like shield fighter and breath of life 4 (I want shield fighter for my valentine Myrrh )

[north robin]

I played at launch though stopped last year.
I went into it again a month ago on a new account to see how far I can stretch it

So Far I’m working on an Astram for my grail project since +6 to all stats helps with training other units/getting flowers.

[faint wraith]

I have a pretty sick unit box on my main, even if I'm missing some crucial units (I took Bernie over Felix from the ticket because I am Bernie's biggest believer and even after summoning for him on like 3 different banners emblem ike just evades me)

Got Nagi in like 3 summons though

[north robin]

Vaild.Bernie is great

Also Nice

[faint wraith]

If I had a nickle for every time I got a really good dragon far save tank, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's wierd that it happened twice

I actually joined when V! Lyon and Myrrh came out, and they kickstarted my account

[north robin]

Im hoping to get a near safe armor unit.
Im planning to build up Marni since shes got one of the best Defense stats in the game with the Axe which simply says "Cannot die unless deep wounds exist"

[faint wraith]

If you're looking for a near save armor unit (whether for fodder or to use) the unit Nah is on the halloween banner and is not only great on her own, but has an upgraded near save skill that can be inherited.

[north robin]

I probably wont summon for Nah yet.

Ill wait until shes in the special summoning pool in a few months since Im more interested in the skills rather than the actual units

[faint wraith]

Surprised you have the patience, but understandable.

[north robin]

Right now ive mostly gotten patience from nothing really dragging my interest anymore since I can build up any unit to do a similar job that a new one could do now

The exceptions are Mythic/Emblem banners since they will rotate characters each month so summoning on those 8% banners is a good way to get those units

[faint wraith]

I can respect it even if it'll be tough to do lunatic versions of the story. That shit gets tough

[north robin]

It does though with starting over I can just place Brave Alfonse in front and slay everything

With 8 books and over 100 paralogues. I've got time before my well runs dry and power creep latches onto him

[faint wraith]

It honestly feels like lower rates than the 3% sometimes, but yeah I was able to get attuned Michiah and emblem Celia who I missed

[north robin]

I've gotten some decent ones from there

[faint wraith]

This is FEH so be careful about assuming powercreep will take a while

[faint wraith]

Most of them I already had (only was missing Heior, Michaih, Sigurd, Celica, and Yuri) and now I'm only missing Yuri

[north robin]

Hinoka +1
Emblem Marth +3
Emblem Ceclia +2
Yuri +2
Lumina +1
Veyle +1 (I had another one though gave her skills to Hestia becomes a glacies mage that ignores piercing with 72 atk and 63 Res is nutty)
Gullveig
An extra Seior
Heior
And Attuned Micaiah

Also getting fodder units is nice when looking at what projects I can get

[faint wraith]

Doing skill duplication with attuned units really saved me a bunch of crystals. I got a big stash with Caeda and Peony (though I only have one extra of each right now) and helped a lot

Orbs

[faint wraith]

Also zamn. I have emblem sigurd at +2 and celica at +3 (would've had an extra for both but gave Sigurd's momentum to Caeda and Celica's verge of death to Bernie)

[north robin]

Understandable. I've tried to get Sigurd though I think I'll give up for now.
Just gonna save orbs until the next huge banner

[faint wraith]

Sigurd is cracked though honestly

[north robin]

Truly. 5 Movement Cav is crazy

[faint wraith]

Move 5 spaces. Pop a strong aoe special (charges from movement). If you hit two enemies with special, gain an extra action. Fire off another aoe special. Canto 3 away so they can't follow

[north robin]

Only a matter of time before they go and release canto control 4 for the soultion.

[faint wraith]

I mean canto control does limit his movement to 1.

The thing he dodges is the stall status as his boost is to move 2 extra spaces, not one.

[north robin]

Crazy.

Also his emblem effect makes it better giving any unit a 1+ and canto

[faint wraith]

Yep

Canto 3 on a melee unit and canto 2 on a range

And also true damage on special based on movement

[safe magnet]

Atlantean Diabellstar?

[grizzled coral]

wish they would stop printing water cards

handrip for 2 and 3 omnis isnt fun

terribly designed archetype

[raven fable]

ah white forest, branded and blue eyes support, for context Astellar of the White Forest summons a light spellcaster tuner from your deck

[quiet tiger]

Why do new Yu-Gi-Oh cards have effect numbers in them now

[north robin]

Only in the OCG.

It’s a way to separate effects and to reduce the amount of strain on a normal human’s eye

Master duel Kinda had this with separating paragraphs and text to give you a clear idea though the TCG had yet to adopt this form…

[safe magnet]

Doesn't help much in Blue-Eyes since you wanna discard the new Maiden and Normal Sage

Sage has no effect on his special summon and he's mostly played because of his normal summon effect

The second effect can come in handy, but isn't used often, also an effect in the hand too

Special summoning the Blue-Eyes tuners is not the best

[raven fable]

its a option for a wierd thing

theres the blue eyes link monster, maybe that uses blue eyes

[safe magnet]

Uh yeah you can use her and literally any light tuner spellcaster under level 4 for it

But she is not really that great in the deck honestly, I'd much rather have an assault synchron in hand, cuz it's a dark level 2 which allows a full power angel to be summoned

[grizzled coral]

do i bring traptrix

or vaalmonica 2 locals

today

[safe magnet]

This is also cool

[grizzled coral]

dam nice

[safe magnet]

I don't even like Ritual Beast, but I might build it now

[grizzled coral]

gl with learning that

xd

[safe magnet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Damn...

Tenpai is HELLA expensive to make in MD

[north robin]

That’s a good thing.

Kind of..

One hand it’s less of an incentive to build it due to its high cost and its hits to it won’t be in effect for about 2-ish months (unless they do something else that’s a horrid)

The issue is when they get hit…prepare for a ton of semis.

[safe magnet]

But also this makes it super pay to win

It's likely the best deck in the meta rn

So only those who spend money on the game will be able to quickly build it

Thus going up in rank while the free to play players remain lower due to losing to said pay to win players

[north robin]

Yeah that’s true.
The high price ceiling will make either the biggest spenders/biggest savers to the deck

[safe magnet]

I mean considering that the deck runs like 25 non engine

Can't lose the coin toss

Summons 2 times and then enters battle phase + handtraps do nearly nothing

So Maxx C is a barely an issue

Plays Shifter

Yeah... This won't be fun to play against

[north robin]

Not to mention the field spell making them to everything…

[faint wraith]

I mean if they don't open backrow removal or droplet scareclaw tri-heart plus defanging is a good way to deal with them

[hazy ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/great-pretender-makoto-laugh-season2-gp-gif-19655653

I got a hang of the mirror very quickly

[raven fable]

watch me set one spell card

[hazy ferry]

feather duster

shifter

cosmic cyclone

[faint wraith]

It's also funny soing assembled nightningale pass and watching them wonder why I'm not taking damage even after they get rid of her

[raven fable]

shitfer does nothing, and i dont think tenpai runs cosmic cyclone

feather duster maybe, but i can negate that

[safe magnet]

what the hell is this monstrosity?

[hazy ferry]

ask @faint wraith I ain't a mikanko specialist

[safe magnet]

I.. I don't know if this can even be called a Mikanko deck

Also making princess here does absolutely nothing, you'd be locking yourself out of being able to summon more than half of the monsters in the deck

[north robin]

Infernoble Mikanko

Thanks to some unintended synergy with your fire Mikanko and the infernoble gimmick equips you can use them when going first.
You mainly do play over 50 to try to keep your bricks in the deck.
They are also playing a Ken and Gen package which helps with giving either you cards or your opponent losing cards. Also gives you a body to swing over with the Mikankos

[raven fable]

it works

[safe magnet]

The ratios are just really weird, also they have no way of unlocking themselves from the Princess fire lock and have a nearly inaccessible extra deck while lacking consistency and introducing unneeded engines with only lava golems as bodies to put on the enemy's field, the deck's nature is to go second so playing board breakers and kaijus with more engine while ignoring engines such as the snake-eyes or DM engine sounds better

[faint wraith]

Infernoble Mikanko is a very good going first strategy, being able to put up near unbreakable boards if given leeway. They have Hiita to remove princess or they can summon an infernoble link. I've never seen snake eyes in tgere before though. And my knowledge is mostly blind second mikanko. This is a confusing deck, but not a bad one.

[safe magnet]

interesting, looks bricky and nearly unplayable

[faint wraith]

I don't see too many situations where you completely brick, but it does look semi inconsistent. First of all if they're playing infernoble they should have Ha-Re at 3

[north robin]

Yeah
You’ve got even searches in deep draw with magical souls dumping spells you don’t need along, a diabelle star line for either the level 1 infernoble recycler, equip infernoble, or a synchro with jet.
Ken and Gen also work too by giving you additional bodies to work with a recycle.
Also the tactics come in handy if they hand trap you with. Monster effect .

You’ve got enough Mikanko searches too with 3 Ohime and 3 Pre-prep.

[faint wraith]

Oomfie is the goat

[north robin]

True

Though they do seem to be up to no good considering I see acid golem and transverser…

[faint wraith]

I didn't notice that. Cringe deck. Awful. Unplayable. Go to either pure or infernobles (though try pure because it's fun)

[safe magnet]

damn.. that's an interesting tech

looks kinda hard to pull off though

[faint wraith]

Two bodies and then two level 3s

If they handtrap you with a monster you can use fire dance to bring it to their field for the switcharoo

[safe magnet]

huh, kinda annoying I guess

[north robin]

Ken and Gen fix that.
Isolde can summon them out

[raven fable]

ooh thats so evil

i like it

how lucky i got a acid golem

[safe magnet]

Unchained Twins could summon acid golem quickly

[faint wraith]

I found it on twitter and fell in love with it (it is now my pfp on twitter)

[safe magnet]

[raven fable]

in theory i could run acid golem and transverser in evil twin unchained deck

which i do already have

[hazy ferry]

done

[safe magnet]

Damn, I don't have the patience to grind to Master

Gj, brawler

[hazy ferry]

I got close with rescue and infernobles, glad tenpai dragons got my back

[safe magnet]

Ah.. you spent money to build the deck?

That explains it

[hazy ferry]

hey

only decks of interest

35 dollars rest were crafted

[safe magnet]

Still.. Tenpai being pay to win now is sad... Considering the fact that it's one of the cheapest decks in the TCG and super expensive in MD, in terms of the amount of points you need to fully craft it, is ironic

[hazy ferry]

yeah but If it helps grind dailies and gems faster I'd do it

[safe magnet]

Yeah, but also, it's literally an unstoppable force, you'll end up losing one in a hundred games to the mirror, that doesn't sound fun

[hazy ferry]

I find the mirror fun tbh

[safe magnet]

Unaffected monsters vs Unaffected monsters + attack 8 times per battle doesn't sound super fun..

[hazy ferry]

it is how it is

I'm gonna save up my gems after I get to pull my free ur pack

use them to get rescue ace because I love that deck and then slowly build chimera

then maybe abc too since that's another deck I have interest in

[safe magnet]

Chimera will get good if it receives its missing support with the Fiendsmith

[hazy ferry]

it most likely will

[raven fable]

you go second

thats the counterplay

[hazy ferry]

^

play floo

or any other deck really

[faint wraith]

Lyrilusc wants to have a word with you

[raven fable]

good thing my nemlarie is going second deck otk, a good otk with yosenju's yknow that takes skill to use

[faint wraith]

Lyrilusc needs skill to otk unless you're using the life hack go brrr strategy

[safe magnet]

You never know if you're up against Tenpai though.. going second can cost you the game

[faint wraith]

Allow me to preach about pur lord and savior assembled nightningale

[raven fable]

nuh uh

yosenju's are great in a way that they can just bounce everything to the hand or deck if i choose to

if i am agaisnt kash its a 50/50 if i get the negate out then i can nemlaria banish them

[grizzled coral]

but how will u beat seals pass...

[faint wraith]

I know it's a crazy thought, but the birds have enough gas in the tank to just barely play through seals pass. Such an underrated deck that people don't know it can beat the strongest endboard in history

[north robin]

To be fair seals pass is kinda difficult to address in tempai if you know your opponent’s key monsters along with the amount of non-engine you pay for either handtraps or cards such as droplet or imperm

[faint wraith]

Tenpai is actually pretty fun-

[hazy ferry]

join the evil side

[faint wraith]

As a fan of Lyrilusc I love just smacking my opponent multiple times during battle, and tenpai takes that to the extreme

[hazy ferry]

remove dharc and baronne with link 4 pheonix and zealantis

https://tenor.com/view/goku-prowler-stare-meme-angry-gif-14312537171363175004

Turn 1 heatwave

[faint wraith]

Alright. Play through the 4 handtraps I drew plus my own heatwave

[safe magnet]

Activate heatwave, activate Sangen summoning

Back to you

https://tenor.com/view/cell-think-dbz-dbs-perfect-gif-9943214

[faint wraith]

Activate second heatwave. Activate Sangen summoning. Set droplet. Your move

[safe magnet]

I'll chain Crossout to the heatwave

[faint wraith]

Well shit

At least I have Ash blossom and the roach

[safe magnet]

Cosmic cyclone target your set

[safe magnet]

I have summoning

https://tenor.com/view/cell-dragon-ball-dragon-ball-z-cell-games-arrive-gif-12626123329263234447

Normal summon Paidra effect

Add Kaimen

GG, you were a worthy opponent

[faint wraith]

Three times I open ash blossom

Three times it gets negated

Two by the finger and one by crossout

I JUST OPENED THREE HEATWAVES GOING SECOND

And my maxx c gets ashed

Great

[raven fable]

what does seals even do

[faint wraith]

Tribute from the hand or field for a non-targetting bounce

[faint wraith]

And when I'm actually forced to go first when for the past 5 games I've gone second (4 of them I opened heat wave) heat wave decides to vanish from existence and the only handtrap I have is ghost ogre

[grizzled coral]

Also specials a dragon from deck after so its also followup

[faint wraith]

Well only if it tributes itself (but honestly you're always going to be tributing itself)

[faint wraith]

Nice try. Rafflesia is a monster effect

[safe magnet]

Uhh yeah I forgor

Chain droplet then

[faint wraith]

Oops you placed it in the imper- wait shit red reboot

Second Rafflesia because it's only a soft opt!

It's nice how the only handtrap that can negate raff is droplet. Sure gamma exists, but by that point you probably already have a gravedigger on the field to stop that. Imperm doesn't work (she's immune to traps if she has mats), ash doesn't work cause it sends the trap for cost (like how in lunalight Kaliedochick foolishes a lunalight for cost), so droplet is your only option

Lunalight is also a sleeper deck

From what I hear it had its place in the meta a while ago, but it's fallen off now.

But it' crazy for both otking and for rank 4 xyz plays.

[grand cave]

Gravedigger on field? Chain psy frame epsilon

Also why the HELL is all of the tenpai stuff SR and above in master duel

[faint wraith]

Chain gravedigger numero dos. Goodbye to 6k of your lp

[grand cave]

Well played

[faint wraith]

It's not ALL SR and above. The trap is R. You know. The trap. In a deck that focuses on otking

[grand cave]

…the fuck they have a trap

[grand cave]

…so all their stuff is sr and above

[faint wraith]

Yep

[faint wraith]

Yep. Had to sell my soul to make it.

Even then what I have is suboptimal because I'm missing one of the battle phase spells.

What's funny is that they made Sangen Summoning, arguably the best card in the deck, an SR. Because they know that they're going to have to either limit or ban it and they don't want to refund UR dust to people.

[faint wraith]

Oh yeah uhh question for anyone who knows. Can I:P Masq link into underworld goddess with an opponent's monster on their turn? Because Masq says from your field, but the game rulings may work differently.

[grizzled coral]

yes but idk why

[faint wraith]

Ruling stuff ig. Children's game for lawyers

[hazy ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/great-pretender-makoto-laugh-season2-gp-gif-19655653

turn 1 I activate shifter

they set widow anchor and heat wave

they then proceed to surrender

[raven fable]

Just one?

[faint wraith]

Yeah just one. But as Atsuro said if it is tributed you get to special any dragon from the deck

[raven fable]

As strong as that is it's kinda meh

Oh

[faint wraith]

But it's attack and defense become zero

[raven fable]

That's strong

[faint wraith]

So if you have it out and are hit with Nibiru, it's ability will trigger

Or if your opponent kaijus it

[raven fable]

Eh

[faint wraith]

And it can tribute itself for the bounce, and proc it's effect. The bounce is limited to the opponent's turn though

[raven fable]

It's kind of a nothing burger if the opponent doesn't know what they're doing

Which most tenpai players don't know

[safe magnet]

Wake up, YGO Chat, new Snake-Eyes support just dropped! (it was revealed a few days ago)

[faint wraith]

Hey it's actually kinda tame. Only has an on summon effect and it's contact fusion isn't broken like phantom's as you actually need set up to summon it

Fairly tame ngl

[grizzled coral]

Sky striker getting 2nd at a ycs is insane

I thought the list would be like some crazy hidden tech but nah its just sky striker

like 😭 ?? idk

[safe magnet]

Well I mean, the deck doesn't summon much, so it's quite good against Perullia and Fuwaross.. and considering the fact that most of its interaction comes from searchable spells and no deck can put up more than 2 Omnis it's pretty good

[grizzled coral]

Ye but like the deck is straight ass

[safe magnet]

It's not as bad as you think

Widow Anchor can break boards on its own and they have good OTK potential

Its grind game is also really good

Afterburners is pretty good too

Engage is straight up broken and Kagari adds it back from the GY

[grizzled coral]

Not really compared to modern decks

Ryan yu is just the goat

[safe magnet]

Well yeah, but Yubel doesn't have a super good answer to its tools, Strikers with board breakers can break the boards Yubel puts up and OTK them

Snake-Eyes probably is better with the Azaminas now so they probably survive but idk

[raven fable]

sky strikers are strong and what they built is

engage is at 3, most of cards in their decklist are board breakers even if they got 2 omnis theyre destroying it

thats the decklist if you are wondering https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/sky-striker-536285

[quiet tiger]

okay so, my opponent here was playing mikanko
i had an egg on their field left from my combo, i had baronne, borreload, uct and a 4th guy to sacrifice for UCT effect
they threw their field spell onto the field, then a red mikanko
then they link summoned my eggs and the mikanko into some link 2 cyber dragon looking thing with wings that had no effect
and then they forfeit

i have genuinely no idea what this is trying to accomplish...

[faint wraith]

That is the strangest Mikanko decklist I've ever seen

No lava golems, only 2 kaijus, a lot of mikanko cards that are never used in normal decklists, the extra deck looks like they just pulled like 2 packs and threw it together..

[quiet tiger]

this looks so goofy

[safe magnet]

Yeah

I told you

Board Breaker blind second strikers are literally OP

ain't no board (other than fire boards with enough protection) surviving

Even with my Salads who are good at recovering from breakers, play through barrier, aren't touched by dark ruler and droplet have a problem against stuff like Widow Anchor

People have been dropping hand traps for breakers even in combo decks which is interesting

since apollo and baron on floor got banned, no wonder

Everything I have gotten from ROTA is literally from drafts cuz I get anywhere between top 5 to 3 when I play at my locals and manage to geta secret from the drafts

[grizzled coral]

oh nice

i didnt bother going to pre release

too expensive

my weekly locals is like £2 and pre release is £25

💀

go to locals 12 times or do 1 pre release

[safe magnet]

huh that's a pretty low tax

do you guys even get any prizing from that

[grizzled coral]

yeah

everyone gets an ots

and like 5/4/3 for top 3

[safe magnet]

ah dope

they probably don't pack anything

Our tax is like 10 dollars per local and we don't get an OTS so we get to draft like 2 boxes

[grizzled coral]

someone pulled a branded and a thrust fusion like 2 weeks ago because we still had some random ass OTS 22s lying around lol

i mean

branded fusion and a thrust

idk how i typed that 💀

[safe magnet]

Thrust.. that's a nice card...

Yesterday a guy pulled an Ulti Rhinoheart from the random OTS 21 packs we were given (for smaller locals where giving one OTS wouldn't affect the prizing much it is given )

[faint wraith]

Swapped to danger darkworld

[safe magnet]

Finally..

Also

[radiant spire]

Achievement unlocked: How did we get here

[faint wraith]

Peak dinosaur gameplay

[safe magnet]

Which turn is this??

[safe magnet]

Does this die to nib or something??

[radiant spire]

Depends where you nib

What my hand is

And what once per turns I used

[safe magnet]

How many cards did this take to make? 1? 2?

[radiant spire]

Yes.

It's world chalice

There is so one line

You have a hand, and you improvise

[safe magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-angle-stare-100-yard-stare-meme-gif-251436459491629941

[radiant spire]

Though this started with 2 cards

[safe magnet]

Honestly I have never read the world chalice cards nor have I seen the deck, but damn

[radiant spire]

I drew like, 18 cards

[safe magnet]

What the fuck

[radiant spire]

Once per turns do not exist

[safe magnet]

[radiant spire]

Ever heard of agent venus looping

[safe magnet]

Nope

I am not that old, nor have I played for that long

[radiant spire]

YOu venus 3 times

Get 3 normals

Link those shits off

Avarice the normals back

Summon them back again

Avarice them again

[safe magnet]

Me when 3 normal summons :devious:

[radiant spire]

Summon the 3 again

[safe magnet]

How do you do against the Droll and Lock Bird?

[radiant spire]

Literally 9 free pieces of material

Droll's annoying but it's fine

[safe magnet]

Perullia?

[radiant spire]

Realistically I can get away with one search

[radiant spire]

You do realize purulia only draws right

[safe magnet]

Also was this at a local?

[radiant spire]

Combo testing

[safe magnet]

Yeah, but you seem to summon a lot from the hand

Since you loop normals and all

[radiant spire]

No

NORMALS

VANILLA'S

[safe magnet]

Ohhh

I thought that you mean Normal Summons

[radiant spire]

Please tell me you've seen a normal

Ok thank god

[safe magnet]

I used to play Blue-Eyes

And I will again in February

https://tenor.com/view/mischievous-emoji-evil-smile-gif-14790095

[radiant spire]

But back to the point

[safe magnet]

The best structure deck of all time is about to drop

[radiant spire]

Literally what does purulia do

[safe magnet]

Draws a card every time you summon from the hand, due to me thinking that you loop 3 normal summons not monsters I thought that it'd hurt you

[radiant spire]

But what does it do

How does it stop me

[safe magnet]

I mean, it just gives the opponent a lot of cards, it should make you like.. loop less or something

[radiant spire]

Why would that be a problem

[safe magnet]

Cuz every meta deck these days runs 18 non engine

Because of Perullia giving my opponent 3 draws I got hit with Nibiru, Veiler, Ash, Imperm, Phantasme and they triggered Diabell off of the Phantasme discard cost turn 1, I ended on a phoenix, princess in grave, set roar and a fire body to back up the Phoenix, then they Tactics-ed me and got my Phoenix

Oh they also had the now limited Snake-Eyes ash in their hand

[radiant spire]

Hold

[safe magnet]

[radiant spire]

Because of Perullia giving my opponent 3 draws I got hit with Nibiru, Veiler, Ash, Imperm, Phantasme

NOW, you're thinking correctly

You asked how purulia is gonna stop me

I could care less about puru

It's the rest

So what you're saying earlier has just now become correct

[safe magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-gif-26460616

[radiant spire]

But, aside from that, if I get puru'd or fuwa'd, you're decking out

I throw a self replenishing omni negate on my board

[safe magnet]

Even after you get hit with the Nibiru, Imperm, Phantasme, Veiler, Ash, Droll special?

[radiant spire]

Answered the question before you could ask

[safe magnet]

An Omni Negate in this day and age?? Unheard of

[radiant spire]

I didnt say omni exactly

I said self replenishing omni

[safe magnet]

Aren't those like super rare? I don't think that I've seen one before

[radiant spire]

Have you ever read gameciel

[safe magnet]

No actually

[radiant spire]

Did you know he has an effect

That isnt tributing

[safe magnet]

I've only seen him used to tribute stuff

But uh yeah, Kaiju counters

I'm guessing that the field spell gathers them when you summon a Kaiju

[radiant spire]

Nope

[safe magnet]

Which I don't know how often you can do

[radiant spire]

Whenever a card is sent to grave

1 counter for each

[safe magnet]

Oh.. oh.. that's.. incredibly easy to do?

[radiant spire]

I link summon like 20 times

[safe magnet]

Understandable

[radiant spire]

Not counting the spells I use

[safe magnet]

So you give your opponent a Kaiju that isn't Game?

[radiant spire]

Why would I give my opp a kaiju

Esp on turn 1

[safe magnet]

To.. summon Gameciel?

[radiant spire]

We got saryuja

[safe magnet]

I see

[radiant spire]

Free omni

Not OPT

Not even dark ruler evenly can crack that board

Dark ruler triple evenly isn't enough

super poly works fine though

[safe magnet]

Droplet with a trap and a monster as cost?

[radiant spire]

What you negating

Gameciel and

[safe magnet]

Gama and the Tri wizard

[radiant spire]

Ok, and then evenly?

[safe magnet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Dark hole
