Red Dragon Archfiend decks? :confused:

Since the new cards are building on the wonky but strong foundation of the old demons and resonator cards I can see it being tier 2 by the next pack. Scar-right and Wyvern are both ridiculous monsters. Also, Jack owns and Ushio lives on by every security cop playing a continuation of his chaser-deck. :colbert:

Well I dont think they are, They may share names with the old cards but most probably they're all part of the 'Red' Archetype:
See: Red Wyvern, Red Resonator. Boss dragons being 'Hot Red-'.

Scar-right has a blurb in his effect that he gets treated as the original both on field and graveyard and Red RESONATOR has it right there. They've done everything in their power to ensure that the old support still works and the additions of both anime and manga support is going to make it bloom into something beatiful, I just know it.

And madolches will get pendulum support. It's nice to dream sometimes.

Scar right is better than either of the other RDAs, and having it's name means that the original is basically useless. The resonators are interesting though. They've got some pretty bonkers support in the form of resonator call and resonator engine. The former adds any resonator monster from deck to hand, and the latter searches every single level 4 maindeck monster in the game.

RDA may or may not see play, depending on how easy it becomes to get him out turn 1, but red and synchron resonator will probably see some play.


I'm not exaggerating about the "every single" part either.

The new cards in Master of Pendulum are really loving good. Having a generic Scale 1 and Scale 8 that have awesome effects is absolutely fantastic.

Other than that, Good luck.

Veiler says "During your opponent's main phase:" which means it's useless for when they BTH on your turn.

Slur has said he likes Chain Burn which is one of the most cancerous decks in the game this side of Nekroz. I wasn't around for HAT decks, but looking it up it seems like some stupid gimmick deck relying solely on clearing the opponent's field because they dared to attack or blow up your back row. Then you chip them to death for a million years because Yugioh can be a really stupid card game. Stun decks in general are really boring and tiresome. I have a friend who upon playing a Yosenju stun deck instead of his Noble Knights began placing Top 8 at our locals consistently. He retired the deck after a month of playing it, because he felt the deck was really boring and disgusting since he just gets to win the second more than one Yosenju hits his hand.

Thankfully, BA and Shaddolls are cards now so even if Moralltach got put to 3, it would get shat on by both of those archtypes. Also Qli's would also possibly poo poo on them, but that's a maybe.

How important is leo or star eater in shaddolls? I'm looking for something to side out for trish using this extra deck listing (shamelessly copied from a july 2015 european wcq winner):

quote:

1x El Shaddoll Anoyatyllis
3x El Shaddoll Construct
2x El Shaddoll Shekhinaga
3x El Shaddoll Winda

Synchro

1x Arcanite Magician
1x Black Rose Dragon
1x Goyo Guardian
1x Leo, the Keeper of the Sacred Tree
1x Samsara, Dragon of Rebirth
1x Star Eater

I'm also not sure what Samsara is for (the deck does run maindeck mind control but I mean I dunno) so maybe axe that?

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Honestly any deck that might as well say "Don't worry, I'm not here to play with you, I'm here to play with me and stop you from playing period." is a horrific deck. Exodia Solitaire, Chain Burn, most Stun decks. All of them are sickening poo poo because whenever you face them is that these decks very much need to go off ASAP. If they don't then they just concede. There's no fun in sitting there for a minute while the person I'm playing is either going to concede or automatically win and I haven't played a card yet.

Turns out you play a card battle game with someone to actually interact with your opponent, not watch a coin be flipped. Again, lets go back to the 2014 World Championships, it was HAT vs Infernity. Game 1 lasted about 30 minutes as the HAT player desperately attempted to go off and the Infernity player took care of the trap holes so he could just combo to victory. Then game 2 ends in about 2 minutes because the Infernity player went off turn 1.

I was being facetious when I said I liked chain burn.

As far as HAT goes, it's a stun deck which functions on artifatcs threatening your opponent's back row destruction. It's a nice balance between speed and control.

I honestly wish duels were no longer 3 turn OTK decks based on spamming the board.
