Edit: Are Mask Change HERO decks still cheap?

HERO is mostly budget... except for Evil HEROes Adjusted Gold & Malicious Bane that are run at one each & are like $80-100 apiece

basically "no, but you could run a worse version of the deck for cheaper"

Would 3 boxes of the last dino or zombie structure be any good for this fella?

I remember hearing that dinos are a fantastic rogue deck (specifically because of Ultimate Conductor Tyranno), so I'd assume maybe?

The lastest Zombie deck is pretty solid on it's own, so go for it.

Ended up buying two more copies of Zombie Horde, and already got a deck potentially lined up to make from it, I do have at least three issues with it though that I might need to change; it calls for 3 copies each of Shiranui Solitaire, Anti-Spell Fragrance, and Shared Ride, and honestly all three feel kinda iffy being included at all, let alone at 3 copies, feels like there's better cards in the original Structure deck to include instead

Shiranui Solitaire is a good starter for zombie plays. He can search and summon Uni-Zombie who starts a ton of zombie shenanigans. For example,

-Normal summon Solitaire
-Use its effect and tribute it to summon Uni-Zombie
-Use Uni-Zombie's first effect and discard something like Balerdroch from hand if you graveyard is empty
-Use Uni-Zombie's second effect and discard Mezuki from deck
-Banish Mezuki from graveyard and revive your fellow zombie
-You have a level something Uni-Z and extra monster, battle with both, maybe tune them into Red Eyes if the math works, overlay for XYZ or make a link if adding non structure deck cards

Solitaire is essentially three extra copies of Uni-Zombie. And you want Uni-Zombie.

Anti-Spell Fragrance can mess opponents up if you get to set it turn one, key being you going first. Decks usually run a ton of spells so forcing your opponent to delay their moves by a turn will really mess them up.

If you opponent does a lot of deck/grave searching, Shared Ride will either scare them into stopping their plays or they plow through and give you a bunch of cards to strike back next turn.

Overall a pretty good power curbing list.

My only real complaint is Sekka's Light being Limited makes the card worthless outside of Superheavy Samurai - it's a good card, but you have to build your entire deck around it and it's not absurdly broken - I think the thought process behind hitting it was Konami limiting multiple draw/search cards this list, and they figured this also functioned as an indirect power check on BA.

Skeleton Mom
Aug 11, 2008

power creep on monster effects and the proliferation of hand traps made it so it was too easy to build a functional meta deck of just monsters, especially if you had triple pot-of-greed-but-better. the return of non-link extra deck spam is going to make those decks in particular stronger, so the sekka hit is more preemptive than anything

Strikers have been within the top meta decks for almost two years now. It's way past time for them to die and I too am spitefully glad of it.

Hopefully the Engage ban is enough.

The new Duel Links box has some of the best power cards for Lightsworn, including Judgment Dragon, BEWD, Nekroz/Gishki hybrid, and Orcust.

This is gonna be an interesting format.

Edit: There’s also World Legacy stuff, but none of the really heavy hitters that’d make it competitively viable. I suspect the best deck in the format is gonna be Dark World Orcust, but we’ll see.

Skeleton Mom
Aug 11, 2008

Can Orcust even be good with just the engine and none of the extra deck? Like it's one thing to have the ability to summon a bunch of monsters, but if you can't make a coherent win condition out of them, there isn't really a point...

I'm a little scared of Lightsworn becoming meta, not because of the deck itself but because of the annoying stall/mill decks that could rise to counter it.

I'm sure someone will find a good use for the engine. Thunder Dragons didn't have their big anything and they became the engine of a very good (if gimmicky) Chaos deck.

Alright, I admit it, I was wrong. Orcust have made precisely no impact on the meta.

Turns out Lunalights are the sleeper hit of the box, which is kinda neat.

Lightsworn and Infernoids are two of the most fun decks to play in Yugioh in my opinion, in part because instead of having pre-determined combos/win-cons that you try to set up, you basically rely on the luck of mills to determine the tools at your disposal that you have to win- sometimes it's a blowout and you curbstomp your opponent, and other times you get an exciting, grindy game.

Right before switching to Monarchs back in... 2014-ish? I played (semi-)budget Infernoids. Reasoning, Reignition, Monster Gate at 1, Psy-Frame Omega... It rarely went off, but when it did, HOO BOY.

The only real issue being of course that as they added more and more Lightsworns they became less and less luck reliant. To the point where a current Lightsworn Deck basically always does exactly what it wants to do.

I googled it, and it's scheduled to start airing April 4th in Japan, so the first episode probably just aired a few hours ago.

Seems like the kind of opening that'd start to get catchy over time even if you don't like it at first. (See: Basically every MHA opening.)

The girl seems cute. I can't wait to see her have exactly one duel that she wins because her opponent concedes, and then be damseled for the entire rest of the series.

Lol though, it's yet another lead female protagonist in a Yugioh show that uses a Light deck based on music.

Sadly what with Rush Duels causing a format split, we're going to have more anime only archetypes than ever before. Especially if the format bombs.
