I've been having fun with the event. So far I've run up against a couple of people using the loaner decks, one no-poo poo Empty Jar in TYOOP 3022, one playing Toons... I'm just kinda clowning on them with utopia. Utopia Double can win a surprising amount of games.

I'm a big fan of how they set up the solo mode. There's a fair bit of teeth pulling frustration with awful loaner decks (looking at the gem-knights track), but on the other hand it introduced me to Megaliths and I think I'm a little bit in love.

Megaliths are genuinely one of the coolest themes in the game.

The simple explanation is every Megalith can be used to ritual summon the other ones. The level 8s are both ritual spells and theme payoffs. In addition to ritual summoning on the field (using themselves as material), the level 4s have advantage generating effects on summon that aren't once per turn, with Ophiel searching monsters and Hagith searching spells/traps; Och has a draw/discard, but more importantly, can ritual summon anything on the opponent's turn.

It's a really cool theme.

I really hated the solo mode track for them, cause those loaner decks they give you in the back half just do not work. But in the shower the next day I kept thinking about them and what they did and how maybe they could work, and I realised I wasn't going to be able to get them out of my head until I sat down and got them working properly. I'm sure I still have a lot to learn about them, but just from what I've figured out I'm doing ok in Gold ranked. My biggest issue so far is learning when to finish tutoring and just go in for the double Phaleg kill.

E: Also Phul is the coolest ritual summoning card I've ever seen. Retrieves from grave, modulates its own level, ritual summons from your deck, as a quick effect... Pooping out Bethor in the middle of your opponent's turn and clearing their field when they're about to go for their big play is shockingly potent.

God, this loving Karakuri/Ninja solo loaner deck. None of the good Karakuri, none of the good Ninjas. Not even an Anatomy or the ninjutsu art draw card?

I hope there's bonus rewards at the end of this Xyz event based on the number of games you've won or the number of Xyz monsters you summoned that they're not telling anyone about until the end.

I've decided to lean into Dark Lady, and it's working out so far.

Edit: The decklist I'm running with right now:

3x Effect Veiler
3x Maxx C
2x AB&JS
2x Gameciel

3x Tincan
3x Dark Lady
3x Dark Destroyer
2x Farmgirl
2x Soartroopers
2x Sliprider
1x Wickedwitch
1x Dark Planet

1x Raigeki
1x Harpie's
1x Terraforming
3x Extravagence
3x Kosmotown
2x E. Tele
2x CbtG

Extra Deck
IDK, probably some link staples, it's just fodder right now.

If I was smart, I'd stop running Dark Planet, probably for a third Ash. And, speaking of Ash, everyone 3-ofing it has made running One For One a losing proposition. Though I could probably cram in some Allure of Darkness for more consistency. Soartroopers is the stealth MVP, letting me bring back Dark Lady if I go for it with Tincan and whiff, while also still being able to tag out for other stuff. I tried Strawman, but he's a little clunky, and I'm not lacking in ways to bring back banished monsters, it's the ones in the GY I care about finding uses for.

Hopefully next they make you not only earn half as much for using a loaner because lmao it is not worth the gem/UR point investment to make niche-rear end decks specifically for these events.

This is good, 100 medals a win is like 200 to get the best rewards and i aint grinding that out

40 is far more doable

You say that, but there's no more xyz packs after 3000 and gem rewards drop off hard after 3200.

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

Great change. I do wonder if they had already planned to do this all along, though, since getting 20k points with 100 points per win would be painfully slow. Not to mention if people figured out the exploit within an hour of the event start, the game designers surely must have realized it as well.

If the points disparity between winning and losing was that big at the start people might complain that the event is P2W and forces you to make a meta deck or such, but now they've demonstrated that the alternative is not workable. Either way it was the right move.

Dabir
Nov 10, 2012

Also you can make a viable deck for this with three copies of the re-contract universe structure deck and a little extra tweaking to taste. It's really not that hard to get stuck in if you didn't have an xyz based deck put together already.

Honestly i'm surprised that they front loaded the best rewards so hard. I'm sure it was done for the more casual audience, but you'd think that they'd have at least thrown a 1000 gems at the end just to dangle that 10-pack at the people willing to grind it out.

I played a suicide player yesterday that actively tried to lose slower by instead of letting me battle phase them down, used their board to inflict less total damage. Like I played a card to hit them for lethal when they were at 200 LP and they Solemn'd it for -100 instead of the -3000 it would have hit them for. Baffling

The event is basically Fandaniel turning to the camera and saying "Remember how I said I wanted to die? I meant it" and then playing Performapal Popperup

It's pretty good for clearing the rest of the battle pass though (because ranked sends my nerves on edge so I'm still silver)

I switched to a real deck for the event and I've been having fun. I play Skull Servants and I don't really need my extra deck for it to work anyway, so I just put a few good Xyzs in there and still clean games up by swinging with a 10000 Atk King, it's so satisfying.
