Is it just me or are Prank-Kids real bad? I accidentally just had a duel where I let the opponent draw like 12 cards off Maxx 'C' because I miscounted 300 lifepoints from lethal. With the vast majority of their deck thus in play they ineffectually flailed at me with like 20 cards and still ended up losing on my next turn. They just don't seem to really have a good way to remove high attack monsters and their boss being Fusion summon only is real rough.

Prank Kids can link climb like nothing else and generate resources in the process, and their Fusion boss monster has a quick effect Raigeki that bypasses its self-tribute cost if they have a Meow-Meow in the GY. They're pretty good, easily Tier 2; they do have to summon from Deck though, so maybe they just happened to not have specific Prank Kids in the Deck due to Maxx so their usual line was broken? But based on what you said I'm not sure what's stopping them from just fusing into Battle Butler and clearing your board.

I took out the first Battle Butler by using Super Conductor Tyranno to flip it face down which he didn't tribute in response to (Miscellaneousaurus might have also been protecting me there?). The second I negated with a Dolkka and none of his other monsters/removal could deal with the Super Conductor I had left on the field which definitely would have been taken out by literally any kind of removal as I was totally tapped out after Dolkka. They definitely filled the board up with a bunch of links that couldn't be destroyed by battle/effects but they topped out at like 2500 attack with their field buffs and the Tyranno still had 3k even after the malus.

Just played a dude who went first and FTKd me with Exodia. Has to happen to everyone at some point If I had gone first, I would have gotten out Majesty's Fiend and locked out special summons, which would have completely stopped the version of Exodia they were running  Losses to Exodia FTK should not count against wins needed to promote a rank

I was wondering if we had a thread on Master Duel. I am loving this game, I have never played Yugioh before and I havent seen any anime, but some friends downloaded this who have and Im the one whos most into it. I would definitely say its not new player friendly though. I spent the first few days just playing solo and watching youtube guides and I think I did a good job spending my starting free gems, and do have some left. I am only in Gold and havent really lost badly except for one match where I timed out because I got greedy with a combo I didnt need to make. Ive come up with some good (and lucky) plays at times which makes the game quite interesting. Someone mentioned Prank Kids and I gotta say I find them super fun but expect to get stomped by people who know what they are doing in Plat etc, I love the fact you have a lot of fusion combos to pick up effect monsters what you need at the time. I guess they will drop off eventually though and I will get annoyed at losing. My main worry is boring people to tears with loads of summons so I try not to be that guy, but the biggest annoyance is the animation time honestly. I also have an Eldlich and TrueDraco deck that I have never used outside of solo, but am getting used to them and will bring them out at some point. I was trying to get different types of deck so I might not get bored? Will see. I am thinking if I do keep enjoying playing I might splash out on the 'deals' for gems, even though I think they are horrific value just so I can crack some packs and get materials to power up my decks.

I might be misreading this, but if you didn't grab the Ash Blossom, Solemn Judgment, and Lightning Storm specials, you need to do so ASAP. Those cards are all staple URs that you'll get a ton of use out of and it's a decent discount on Master Packs on top of it. It is bar none the best use of gems in the game.

Yeah, they're 600 gems for 10 packs (normally 1000 gems) and good staple URs on top of the packs. Similarly once you hit level 100 on the battle pass, make sure you go and buy the gold upgrade because it costs 600 gems but gives you 600 gems back for all the gold path rewards, so it's essentially a bunch of free crafting shards.

One tip I can definitely give you is to make a burner account or two before you invest heavily in a new deck. There's guides for the various systems online, but basically with an hour or so of set-up (depending on how fast you can download the 5gb of game data) you'll have a fresh new account with a deluge of gems to spend. I was thinking of making a True Draco anti-meta deck, basically running six Skill Drain (with The Monarchs Erupt) and a bunch of other floodgates. Since True Draco don't get their own secret pack, it requires quite a lot of crafting even without any URs. So I started a new account, rushed through the tutorials, collected a bunch of bonus gems and went from there.

Considering you only get 2 pulls from each and there's no SR/UR pity mechanic it is complete bullshit that not all cards are available in the 'bonus' packs you get. Like come on, I've gotten gently caress-all from it anyways at least let me feel like I might have a chance of getting something interesting instead of letting them pile up because opening them is almost more effort than they're worth. I also have no idea what people are doing in this game sometimes. Is there a secret mission to deck yourself out? I have run into 2 duels in Plat where the opponent deliberately set everything up to deck themselves out and lock me out of doing anything

Honestly, the Legacy Packs feel like a typical free to play game mechanic to keep you hooked, to keep just enough of the itch going as it were. I really wish that you could at least dismantle those cards, my main account has two copies of Unity, which is also an UR, including a foil one.

Terraforming being an UR slays me tho. It's a good card and all, but I'm pretty sure it was a common when it was released in 2005

It kind of makes sense to me. It's a card that you basically need for any archetype that in any way relies on a field spell as part of its game plan. There's a whole slew of cards in the game that seem to be UR just for being universal, either as staples to build your own gameplan or as answers to opponents.

Looks like the first Master Duel event has been announced: XYZ summoning. Any recommendations for a cheap and/or newb friendly archtype? I realize I'm going to get rocked by everybody playing the meta Tribrigade/Zoodiac decks, but I'm not sure I'd be able to pull that off without a flow chart.

Yeah, the big issue is Eldlich doesn't need or even really use any extra deck stuff so you can just throw in a bunch of XYZ you never intend to use and roll over people. Drytrons are also gonna be a menace since they almost exclusively use XYZ and Ritual

The standard Drytron combo requires you to play Herald of the Arclight even if you never actually summon it.

My favourite is the Unchained loaner deck that has no outs to the opposing World Armor (other than waiting for the AI to link it off pointlessly until they run out of life)

Unless the event requires you to actually have cards in the extra deck, True Draco would be a good choice. Cheap, easy to play, and can out some of the more annoying boss monsters when you end up going second

Are there any fusion monsters that have generic fusion material, like 2 dark or 2 beasts? I pulled a super polymerization and that could be an interesting tech card.

The two most commonly used generic Super Poly targets are Mudragon of the Swamp, which requires any 2 monsters with the same Attribute but different Types, and Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, which requires any 2 Dark effect monsters (on the field, but Super Poly can only be used with monsters on the field anyway.) Shaddolls, Invoked, and HEROes also have a number of generic Fusions that require any monster of their archetype + a specific Attribute monster. (El Shaddoll Construct requires a Shaddoll monster and a Light monster, for example)

Yeah this is good advice, I am somewhat happy with what I have put together, but if I need to I will definitely go again for al the free gems. I wish there were some more QoL stuff in this game, like reordering your decks, favouriting more than 20 cards, sharing decks with friends, etc. ps I didnt know about Monarchs Erupt. I will try that in my Dracos. Edit: I want to make a banish heavy deck but assume its a gimmick and wont just wipe Eldich and the like easily or more people would do it.

Self banish is a decent rogue strategy, there's cards that banish a bunch as a cost to give you a powerful effect (eg Pot of Desires, Eater of Millions, Gizmek Orochi). Gren Maju da Eiza is legitimately a terrifying card.

Yeah thats the sort of deck I am thinking about, also some trolly idea to explode peoples decks with Inferno Tempest and Macro Cosmos. I have like 3 decks I have barely played so probably just gonna keep it on the back burner for now. Edit: But I think Metaphys decks are something people play with the banish stuff built in so I will look into that as well. I am brand new to this game so I am reading a lot right now just to learn.
