Well, relinquished isnt, idk enough about vamps to say. Relinquished has a boss monster that can lock down your opponent and they may not know how to get around it, also i think the steal effect it uses gets around protection? I dont remember offhand

General Morden posted:Is there a YGO deck that is similar to Secrets Mage from HS? Psy-Frames are an archetype focusing on 'hand traps' that let you negate things and summon monsters when your opponent does certain common things. I don't know how good they are as their own deck any more, but they get splashed in other stuff a lot. Alternatively, Counter Fairies is a deck that focuses mostly on powerful, hard-to-answer trap cards, and fairy monsters who reward you for using them and let you recycle them easily. They're a little infamous right now, because combining them with another archetype, Drytons, makes the most unfun to play against meta deck in the format. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Mar 5, 2022 |

General Morden posted:I'm slightly interested in trying out YGO, having come from a Hearthstone/MTG background. I think the closest comparison to a HS Secrets deck would be something heavy on Trap cards, something like Eldlich or Altergeist (are Altergeist still any good?). For the Priest thing, look up Greydles, they're an archetype of monsters that, when destroyed, equip themselves to the opponent's monsters and take control of them. Not 'meta' like the other two, but still potentially fun. For the MtG side... Nothing really comes to mind, unfortunately. I guess Watts could satisfy the 'attacking directly' part? But Watts are baaaaaaaad.

I dont remember offhand Vampires aren't great right now. There's a support wave for them in Battle of Chaos that makes them much better, so they'll be decent once Master Duel's card pool updates.

There are a handful of fusion archetypes that can use your opponent's monster as fuel to make your own big monsters, if that fits the bill.

Well Yuriko ninjas relies on having a lot of elusive, often untargetable units so there's also that. They also tend to cycle back and forth between your hand and the battle field, through the ninjutsu mechanic.

Having asked around at the LGS, they said I should get an Eldlich deck instead, because it's extremely strong and incorporates some elements of the mechanics I talked about. But it seems a little pricey...

Try out Master Duel, it's the new hotness free-to-play, and they're pushing hard trying to get people to play Eldlich (and "buy" the "packs"), so it's a great way to give the deck a spin before you commit.

Has anyone else been having way more connection problems on Master Duel lately? I picked it up on Switch so it definitely isn't as good as it could be, but it was fine on release up until now, when I can barely do one game without getting kicked out and penalized for it.

Secrets are basically lovely trap cards so it makes sense to play one of the trap decks. Eldlich, Altergeist and Traptrix are all reasonable options (Eldlich being the strongest). I do think it's hard to directly map deck types across from the Magic-likes onto YGO though, the game lacks the main resource mechanic that defines deck classification there.

What's a good synchro deck that's not too hard to get into in master duel? I figure I should start planning ahead in case they do run that synchro event.

Deskbots are relatively simple. Speedroids are pretty simple once you learn like.. the combo it's just a lot of making GBS threads everything out on the board.

Rokket linkchro is pretty good if you want to play synchro dragons with some links as well. Dark dragons so they can make all the red dragon archfiends pretty well with some resonator as well. Or just play dragon link with some synchros thrown in like chaos and RDA abyss.

Can I interest you in some Virtual World? Hell, for the inevitable Synchro Festival it might even be a halfway fair deck without the obvious option of running True King Of All Calamities.

Wish that Duel Master would let me save more than 10 matches, I kinda wish I could keep a record of this match against Danger! where I bet that Droll & Lock Bird wasn't the bottom card in my deck and won.

I don't know if I'd call them good, but adjacent to plants (especially with the recent Rose support), Aromages are fun. Though not having Aromaseraphy Jasmine hurts.

I took the Kragen Control deck I ran in the XYZ-event and turned it into 60 card Grass Looks Greener Paleo Frog control. It's my fourth control deck, and this one probably feels the closest to playing M:tG control.

 I feel like I should cut this down a bit, and I'm really struggling to, like, mentally articulate what my combos are. Any thoughts? Amano-Iwato is there to turn Shinobaroness into a kind-of Magician of Black Chaos MAX replacement, since we don't have that three year old card in Master Duel for some reason.

Nice pull on the Royal Finish Zeus.  Can’t really help you with a mechanic that I actively avoid due to their hand bricking potential, except Drytron. You do have a lot of Earth ritual.

So I got through the first four matches of the new Master Duel gate without understanding the complaints about balance, and I have now reached the Black Magician vs Toons match where the Magicians only have two outs for Bookmark that don't involve getting a level 8+ fusion monster on the board. Needing three cards in hand to deal with a one card combo is not a fair fight Konami. On the subject of Megaliths, this showed up in my recomends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LST3DNGb9k
