Then got my rear end kicked by a Salamangreat deck and only won because the other player timer expired lol

Not the least bit surprised that more than half of the video was just a first turn of insurmountable negation setup.

That must have been what, 10+ minutes of just sitting there in real time?

I managed to take the water XYZ deck I built for the event on my work computer all the way up into Platinum V. I'd take credit for this, but as I got higher up in the rankings, about 80% of my victories came from people blindly running out their best monsters while Stealth Kragen was on the field. I've had multiple immediate surrenders after I popped their Cryston Halquifibrax or other powerful starter or boss monster that doesn't have specific protection against Stealth Kragen's effect.

If you play anything that isnt meta nobody knows what to do, it is hilarious. The number of times ive had people try to destroy great magnus with a board wipe is really quite embarassing

Or even better the people who dont realize it can bypass targeting immunity with its shuffle effect

In fairness the difference between non-targeting and targeting effects is incredibly unintuitive. Why is "target 1 card, banish it" different from "you can banish 1 card"? Because the game says so, gently caress you

This is more so with timelord. People just don’t know how to deal with ultra immune boss or didn’t bother reading a big lv 10 monster with 0/0 stat in attack position.

Some tries to spam their destroy effect on it while other bring out their biggest monster to try out-immune them by attacking it, which is the absolute worse thing to do to a 0/0 monster in Yugioh. :classiclol:

Timelords are absolutely in the category of 'extremely easy to beat if you know what the hell you're looking at', but where that last part isn't actually a given. Timelords are weird as hell, were never meta, and actually didn't even appear in the anime in English (their only appearances in 5Ds were after the dub stopped), so they're a perfect storm of ways for people to completely miss them.

The important part is usually about when you make the decision. If it targets, that gives your opponent a chance to respond based on what you're definitely aiming for, like they can get whatever it is out of the way and the effect will fizzle. Non-targeting means it's definitely hitting *something* if it's not negated, and whatever's in the way when it does is going to eat the effect. It makes perfect sense for mass removal like Mirror Force or cards that pick their own victims like Smashing Ground or Hammer Shot, it just gets weird and unintuitive when we have things that only decide what they hit on resolution, but also let you pick what they hit.

For newer cards it's easy to tell if something targets - it will use the word 'target'. For older cards it can be pretty arbitrary though

Funnily enough, my final match in gold rank was against Traptrix Dogmatika. My opponent opened with a set Monster and two in the back row. I drew a Called by the Grave, so I felt safe running out a Pot of Desires. There was no Ash Blossom so I followed up with Buzzsaw Shark into a Right-Hand Shark from the deck. The Right-Hand Shark ate a Double Trap Hole, so I Special Summoned a Silent Angler from my hand in stead, and made Bahamut Shark. I detached the Angler to summon Toadally Awesome from my Extra Deck... and my opponent activated Nibiru. I pitched a SIlent Sea Nettle from my hand to Negate the Nibiru and set it on my side of the field, and my opponent promptly surrendered.

The match before that was against Dinosaurs, with me going first. I made Stealth Kragen, set Gozen Match and Impermanence and passed the turn. My opponent opened with a Fossil Dig into Souleating Oviraptor, and activated its effect. I chained my set Impermanence, my opponent pitched Miscellaneousaurus, I activated Stealth Kragen in response, targeting the Oviraptor. The chain ended with my opponent pitching a second Miscellaneousaurus, everything resolves, my opponent searches Babycerasaurus... and then promptly surrenders.

Kragen Control always trips people up, same way unchained does. At will destroys, even if they target, are still good.

Honestly non-targeting removal is a bit of a necessity in the current game. Targeting protection, and ways to make targeted effects miss, are a bit too common. At least non-targeting non-destruction is (as of yet) not something trivial for most decks.

Yeah, I run two copies of Gamaciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju for that. Originally I had picked that one over some copies of a lower rarity one just for thematic reasons, but I've ended up popping them with Stealth Kragen Spawn more than once.

The funniest loving thing, IMO, is giving a Timelord player a Kaiju and then not destroying it, so they can't bring out their only monsters, and you have all the time you need to build up a board. Usually at that point, their only out is using their own Kaiju and crashing into it. (Though they can still summon a lord M2 if they manage it, so watch out for that.)

I played a timelor deck that got me down to 200 life points before I got a token on their side of the field that shut them down and I was able to cobble together a board and OTK them

Cards like Zeus and Accesscode Talker are very blunt tools, but I think they do lead to more actual gameplay since they can break even pretty strong turn 1 boards.

I can agree with Zeus, since it requires you going to battle, so it's not being used to otk that turn and gives the opponent a turn to out it. Accesscode talker is just unfun otk enabling BS that's way too easy to summon for most decks, at least in my opinion.

Zeus isn't the problem. It's being seen as the problem because it's a boss monster of the best deck in the format right now, but Zeus is hardly why Tri-Brigade Lyrilusc is so strong.
