That's definitely by design on Konami's part. Gotta get you to Crack open packs for URs to break down and craft URs somehow.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

On the bright(?) side once you craft your Ashes, Maxxes, Imperms etc etc you can splash them into future decks for a very long time.

Oh neat, I didn't realize we had a thread

I need some feedback on my current Master Duel deck. Its been doing decently and has carried me to Plat but I'm starting to run into some issues. Eldlich and Tri aren't a huge issue but Sky Strikers and Dragonmaids have been killing me. Its mostly cobbled together from a bunch of different Dino decklists with a few subs for where I didn't have enough UR dust to craft certain cards.

Anyone have any idea what I should shoot for to craft next or anything I might be missing?

List

MONSTERS - 19
Animadorned Archosaur x2
Babycerasaurus x3
Maxx "C" x3
Petiteranodon x 1
Ash Blossom x 1
Giant Rex x 1
Miscellaneousaurus x 3
Souleating Oviraptor x 2
Dinowrestler Pankrotops x1
Super Conductor Tyranno x2

SPELLS- 19
Raigeki x 1
Harpy's Feather Duster x 1
Monster Reborn x 1 (filler)
Terraforming x 1
Double Evolution Pill x 2
Fossil Dig x 3
Pot of Extravagence x 1 (filler)
Lightning Storm x 1
Lost World x 3
Book of Moon x 1 (filler)
Super Polymerization x 2
Forbidden Chalice x 2

TRAPS- 2
Bottomless Trap Hole x 1 (filler)
Solemn Judgment x 1

EXTRA- 15
Mudragon of the Swamp x 2
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon x 1
Evolzar Laggia x 1
Evolzar Dolkka x 1
Kachi Kochi Dragon x 1 (filler)
Link Spider x 1 (filler)
Linkuriboh x 2
Secure Gardna x 3
Pentestag x 3

I know I probably want more Dolkka/Laggia and Impermanence over some of the filler. And another Linkuriboh if I keep Pot of Extravagence, its screwed me a few times only having 2.

Imperm seems like the next obvious add, yeah. I'd say "or Veiler as a budget option", but they're both UR in Master Duel. :pseudo:

I managed to get out a Majesty's Fiend (no special summons allowed) on the first turn and my opponent immediately scooped. lol

In another duel, i was playing an Eldritch/Sky Strikers deck who had me on the ropes and was gonna win. He then scooped for some inexplicable reason. Double lol

If i didnt have a removal spell id scoop too, if your deck absolutely needs to special summon to function theres no sense wasting your time

Well, still plugging away in Gold with my Cyber Dragons deck... and I just lost a game to an opponent who hit my Cyber Dragon Infinity with a Solemn Judgement, then swapped my Cyber Dragon Sieger for their Dark Scorpion Burglars with Creature Swap. After that they created three tokens with Hippo Carnival, rammed each of them into the aforementioned Dark Scorpion Burglars, with each attack resulting in a Jackpot 7 being sent from their deck to the graveyard. Apparently Jackpot 7 is banished immediately, leaving you unable to use Ash Blossom to counter that.

Yeah, definitely not mad at all. I'd rather lose to decks like this than sitting around for 20 minutes going second against Drytron and crossing my fingers hoping that they'll brick/misplay to give me a chance. The silly thing is, going back through the replay, the only thing I could have done to stop the combo was not plink away at their Scapegoat tokens.

Are you using Gameciel? I've found I had to do it to contain Drytron. Of course, if they get out Vanity's fiend as well, then the game is truly over.

Dryton are an enormous hassle. I can sometimes win if I go second and I can break their board for the OTK with my Tyrannos but its super inconsistent and if they get a turn when they're allowed to attack I just die. Easily my worst matchup of the decks I've fought.

Played a guy who drew Raigeki and Feather Duster in his opening hand. He lost because his connection failed in the middle of an extraneous combo. lol

With the way Skill Drain works, effects can still be activated, and if the card isn't still on the field at resolution, the effect will go through without being negated.

Trias Hierarchia! A card that's going to be really useful if the TCG ever gets the loving Agents structure deck!

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Got to Plat 1 again :toot: Was stuck in Plat 3 for a little bit but had a good 8-win streak all the way to 1.

This poor Dragonmaid player was the penultimate fight:

Mudragon can't be targeted by card effects, so Dinomischus had to banish their own Kitchen, then they chained Tidying to bounce her back to "save" her, but Tidying still can't bounce Mudragon... so they had to return my Shadow Mist from GY to my hand instead. They scooped very quickly after. :haw:

It's not actually my real name so it's cool :v:

The deck's kind of prone to bricking, but most games last 2 turns at most (Heroes can pull OTKs out of their rear end and Dark Law/Plasma can be an auto-win) which is nice for laddering.

Do I feel guilty about using a Sheou negate on an opponent's Pot of Desires and then deleting their Zoodiac Boarbow with House Dragonmaid's effect?

No. No I do not.

I was recently confused why my opponent was never activating their Sheou's until I remembered that they fired Pot of Extravagance earlier.

Gold, IME, is still kinda wild-west. It's not until plat that it's The Drytron Power Hour, Guest Starring Eldlitch.

Anything that uncounterably kills their Herald fucks them over, eg Kaijus or Forbidden Droplet.

The best counter to Drytron is going first :v: But yeah Kaijus are good against pretty much any of the tryhard meta decks (Eldlich a bit less so but bypassing Eldlich's destruction protection and turning off Conq/Huaq's secondary effect can be nice)

Playing Eldlich is great, I never win by getting their LP to 0, I win when they get sick of playing against me and quit out. I throw my hands in the air then do a triumphant turkey trot.

I've been looking at tutorials on YouTube, specifically to see if I can turn my current Pendulum Magician deck into Pendulum Magician FTK/OTK off of Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale. Unfortunately the only YouTuber I've found so far that was talking about this deck is pretty horrible, declaring every card either 'based' or 'cucked' and constantly talking about how he's going to clap his opponent's cheeks. Are there any good resources on this deck before I take apart my Blue Eyes deck and commit?
