Im at Arc V so I can check in a little bit to see if VRAINS has unique problems Its so far my favorite single player card game ever

Discord link is dead, it seems. I think at some point I should mess about with YGOPro and try out different Megalith combinations - like a Hungry Burger turbo  Also managed to snag some Rise of the Duelist packs today and got two copies of Phul, which makes them infinitely more playable, as they can now ritual summon more Megaliths from the Main Deck on anyone's turn.

If you’re interested in Ritual summoning, you should check out the upcoming Draiton archetype. https://ygorganization.com/soiguessthisisreimaginedkaisermangadeck/

Using attack points to ritual summon instead of levels is very interesting, I feel like certain parts of the Draitron engine will become ritual standard eventually; the field spell, counter trap, and ritual spell will for sure.

Barudak posted:my major complaint being Ive just now realized how darn dirty yugioh does its female characters The most striking part of watching through Yu-Gi-Oh now (just hit the end of GX season 1) is that in the original series, you can tell what arcs are filler arcs and which are in the manga entirely by how much agency the female characters get. If you can summarize a story, and that summary includes female characters in any context that is not 'Mai loses', you are watching a filler arc. I'd never seen GX before, but the fact that they immediately put Alexis in the cast and had her be in some way relevant to stories in ways besides 'lose or cheer from the sidelines' is probably the most striking improvement the show has over the original series. In talking about the TCG, though: I've started getting some cards in hopes of getting into playing at local stores once Melbourne is out of lockdown enough that they're open (and hopefully still there). I've started with a Shaddoll deck and the 2020 mega-tin, but I've realized I get excited about types of cards I didn't actually think about before now. What sorts of cards/archetypes/decks should I look into if I'm really interested in effects that really heavily lock down or control what my opponent can do, rather than directly deal damage? Because out of all the cards I got in the mega-tin, some of which I'm sure are good offensively-oriented cards, the ones I got most excited about were Witch's Strike and Unchained Abomination. I want more of that style of thing. I know Shaddoll has a bit of that going on, so I apparently picked well there, but I'm sure there's something more suited around. And I know about Mystic Mine, but I think it's for the best for everyone that I don't have any copies of it. Cleretic fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Sep 11, 2020 |

Imo, yugioh is the most fun when there is interactivity. Floodgates remove interactivity and therefore remove fun. Shaddolls have Winda, which is a good card to limit what your opponent can do. My favourite floodgate is Heat Wave but im a weirdo that likes vanilla monsters. Witch's Strike is pretty slow, modern tier 1 decks are probably just going to shut you down with a negate board of savage borrelload synchro, herald of the arc light, apollousa, etc, so you'll just get WS negated anyway. Better off running a solemn judgement of you're going to run a non archetypal trap. I cannot recommend watching a few decent Yugitubers and seeing how modern players. MBT, while not the greatest player, does a good job explaining what decks and cards do and shows how the decks interact with both casual and meta decks.

Yeah, I can tell Witch's Strike is likely too unreliable to be good. It's the kind of card that'll work one time in a hundred, but feels really good when it does, since your opponent will basically never come back from that. At the very least Unchained Abomination seems like he's a pretty good, active kind of shutdown (more fun than the 'you just don't get to do these things' kinds of floodgates in my book) that can fit into decks easily. I'll try to look more into Youtubers, I've generally been impressed by what I've seen, but I've mostly seen more retrospective stuff than current.

i was reading the yugioh wiki the other day (this is a cry for help) and apparently Romin is noteworthy in that she is the first female character to beat a main-cast male character in a duel in which he doesn't misplay the anime has been going on for more than 20 years and this is the first instance of this happening

So, Duel Links has Cowboy in literally the first wave of XYZ monsters. Who's ready for cowboyforgame.dek? Even without a Main 2, it'd be easy to get two Cowboys on board turn 1, that's 1600 right there. Survive until your next turn and you're an Ookazi away from winning.

Except they cut the damage of every burn card from this set onwards in half (+ nerfed lava golem in the same way) so gagaga cowboy only does 400.

Well, start with a main cast who are mostly annoying one-note stereotypes, then add in a plot that takes a while to get started and also just generally kinda sucks. The main villains, and also ZEXAL (which is a dumb fusion form that changes the contents of Yuma's deck) cheat relentlessly, and not in a fun way like Yugi's cheating.

I love that early Duel Monsters was pretty much just Calvinball, and if you could make what you were doing sound remotely plausible, it flew. Then Kaiba took over, and it had to be a Real Game so that he could be The Best at it.

So kind of a SUPER beginner question, but would it be a good idea to go in on a booster set not because of its actual focus, but more just to fill out my general options? I'm considering putting aside some money for Phantom Rage not because of the actual focus cards (I'm sure the Phantom Knights are nice), but just to start building up a foundation of generally decent cards. I've realized that right now I basically can't build a deck that isn't Shaddolls because their deck is absurdly specific, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to get a general card pool going so that the notion of building any other deck doesn't have to start from literal nothing. I have other cards, I'd love to entertain the notion of using them!

It probably wouldn’t be that useful, no. Yugioh cards can be very specific for what decks they’re useful in. I’d recommend finding an archetype you’re interested in playing and building from their, not necessarily trying to get generic “useful” cards, although I understand you don’t want to start from zero. Thankfully, if you pick a deck that isn’t too popular, it shouldn’t get too expensive. “Absurdly specific” is unfortunately often the name of the game in Yugioh

Also it can't hurt to go out of your way to pick up some cheap, generic extra deck staple cards, and if you can pick them up for cheap get three deck devestator sets to pick up playsets of a bunch of staple spells, traps, and handtrap monsters. You'll still need to shill out for some other staples that haven't been reprinted much, but buying singles is your best bet to fill out the gaps of what you need. And yeah it's best to have a specific deck in mind and work on getting the pieces for that specific deck. Feel free to look at winning tournament builds that have seen success and using those as a skeleton to start your deck.

Thanks, that's not exactly the answer I wanted, but it is one. I'm Australian, the singles market here isn't exactly the strongest thing. I think I'll try to bolt together a Tenyi or Witchcrafter deck, as much to see what the experience is as to actually have the deck. I've already got a handful of cards for each them from the mega-tin that at least look useful, so I'm not starting from absolutely nothing. My only other idea was to find an archetype that works well when combined with Shaddolls (I guess invoked or spellbooks?), then in the future get an archetype that works with them and eventually daisy-chain my way to an effective collection solely through hybrids. Or to just try to build outwards from Unchained Abomination. That poo poo's hilarious when I try it on YGOPro, I love a good card-eater, but unfortunately Shaddolls works pretty bad with it.

Invoked works well with shaddolls yeah. Spell books not so much. And for reference, a lot of people that play competitively, will be willing to sell off/trade the parts of a deck they no longer feel like playing to get parts for a new deck, which helps keeps down the costs of total investment/you basically pay for the staples, but otherwise can exchange out one deck engine for another engine.

I find Yuma's dub voice fine at least in Duel Links. It helps he has Astral with him which brings a bunch of funny dialogue just Yuma alone wouldn't have. "Yeah, I'm gonna win!" "Pleaaaaase don't choke."

Aight, so if you wanna do Dolls, I'd definitely say pick up three of the structure decks if you didn't already have them, as that's like, 95% of what's in most typical Doll decks. There's like Shaddoll Schism from Rise of the Duelist, but that's fairly cheap to grab. As mentioned above, Invoked Dolls are pretty dece, they were fairly meta for a bit before Covid, but kinda got powercrept compared to like, the top meta stuff. Still worth grabbing if you do locals, though. Both the Aleister link and Invocation are still like, $20 USD+, though, so they're not really budget. However, I can't really see Konami limiting anything given how long they've been around for, so maybe a good pickup if that's how you wanna go. Tenyi... They don't really use their normal summon, so Invoked Tenyi could be a thing. However, they kinda bleed hand advantage and can't really run many of the good hand traps without nerfing their special summons. However, dropping a Lava Golem on the opponent, then Vishuda'ing it back to your hand to do it again is hilarious. The deck is pretty OK, but there's enough to keep it from hitting the top tiers right now. They are dummy cheap though, so they might be worth to pick up just to fart around with. Witchcrafters are neat, but they definitely suffer from waifu tax price-wise, and they're not really too great even for all that. If you go with them, you're probably gonna take a few games just because people don't know what they do, but they're kinda underdeveloped right now. Unchained are kinda low-key good, just underplayed. Don't know too much about them myself, but a couple of people in the Noble Knight discord are also in the Unchained discord, and replays can get kinda nutty. Abomination is also pretty good on its own, and they're also decently cheap, assuming you don't go for starlights. In any case, I'mma pull a list of cheapish staple stuff I'd sent to another friend, that should be picked up while it's cheap: Dinowrestler Pankratops Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit Psy-Framegear Gamma (and Psy-Frame Driver) Effect Veiler Nibiru, the Primal Being Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju Artifact Lancea Twin Twisters Cosmic Cyclone Pot of Duality Pot of Desires Pot of Extravagance Dark Ruler No More Red Reboot Evenly Matched Borreload Dragon Borreload Savage Dragon Herald of the Arc Light Evilswarm Exciton Knight Utopia the Lightning Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess I:P Masquerena Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax Borrelsword Dragon Crystron Halqifibrax Linkross Predaplant Verte Anaconda Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon A lot of that stuff is cheapish between various prints and reprints, maybe like $20 max per card, outside of Dark Dragoon. That boy's still $40ish, but it's also one of the most obnoxious cards in the game, so it's worth the pick up if you have the spare change.

I should clarify, I already have Shaddoll deck composed largely of three structure decks. It's a decent slow-paced thing, it's especially good at weathering a storm--pure Shaddoll doesn't really snowball, but it's hard to put completely on the back foot. The reason Tenyi, Witchcrafter and Unchained are on the radar is because I have some scraps for them from the 2020 mega-tin, but none of them really play well with Shaddolls. By chance I ended up playing against a couple Invoked decks on YGOPro yesterday, including at least one Invoked Shaddoll deck. They sufficiently impressed/annoyed me, packing a lot of the 'oh god they just keep going' energy I like from Shaddolls but with a bit of the offensive power that they tend to lack, so I think that's where I'll start with things.

Just want to post after going to my locals with a dumbshit experimental deck: Myutants, the new TCG-exclusive archetype, I think have some real rogue deck potential with another wave of support; they've got some really interesting tools, especially from their big beaters (the fusion monsters and the level 8 monsters), but right now they just don't have an effective way to string them together. The level 8s can only be normal summoned or special summoned by Myutant cards, but as far as I can tell there's no way to special summon them except from banishment or the graveyard, so you have to get them there first. I'm seeing potential in a Shaddoll/Myutant deck, though I'm still putting together what that could look like. Shaddoll's control can really slow an opponent down in a way Myutants can need, and Myutants provide some raw attack power that Shaddoll doesn't have.

The current metagame is very 'win the game going first' heavy at the moment (the most recent 215 player online YCS finals was a mirror between two Virtual World decks that resolved a VFD on turn 1 in 2/3 games and got Nibiru'd the third) so I think we need a pretty sweeping banlist before any new decks can take off  smoke grenade and VFD are pretty safe bans but we'll see if they want to give up on trying to balance needlefiber or if they'll just torpedo the rest of dragonlink to keep it around. miscellaneosaurus should probably also go back to limited even if dinos aren't a 'win the game going first' deck. just bring everything down a notch to around prank-kids' level imo

Yeah, I'm pretty sadly aware that the TCG meta right now is so absurdly fast that Myutants probably can't get an edge in. Part of why I mixed them with Shaddolls, who are one of the few decks right now with the capacity to tell the rest of the game 'sit still and shut up for a minute', even if they can't turn that into victory to the level they can in the OCG.
