I'm hoping we won't see that ban list for a while in MD because two of my favorite decks are fusion based and use Verte Anaconda pretty heavily.
Unless they really want to free Dragoon I'd be surprised if they ban Verte before DPE is out.

Honestly verte being gone forever means konami can start making really good fusion cards with little fear of them being abused.
the same way as when Utopic Zexal got (presumably) perma-banned the RUM searchers started flowing.

Now if they could give the same attention to Halqifibrax as well, maybe the entire Synchro mechanic can come out of jail.

All future Syncro archetypes will take a page out of Swordsoul's book: instead of having actual Tuner monsters, they'll all just summon Tuner tokens.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure Zexal was banned in the OCG actual years before the TCG bothered to do anything about it. It was only the new Utopia support cards coming out that finally forced Konami NA/EU to do something about it.

Dabir posted:

The MD banlist is years behind already, I wouldn't worry about that.
If they have a major card pool update in the works, I dunno, they could jump straight to the current OCG list in late April (or whenever the new cards actually come out).

I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
The good part about a common/rare event is that it's gonna be balls-easy to actually make a deck for it, and chances are pretty high the loaners will give frameworks that will work reasonably well.

One of them's just gonna be introducing everyone to the fact Gouki's mostly a really cheap workhorse of a deck, right?

Metalfoes was already arguably the best low rarity deck and isn't getting hit. So it'd be a good time to shakeoff those yugiboomer biases and learn pendulum.

Huh? What?


its really jarring finding a card that is explicitly uncraftable in MD, i was looking at a deck shell and they ran 3x of Numbers Protection but when I went to look at it it's uncraftable because it's in one of the decks you can buy for gems.... and each deck only has one copy so to get a full playset you have to buy all three decks. :raise: it's an R that isn't THAT nuts, why is it limited like this konami

They banned it at about the exact same time. End of 2020/beginning for 2021 for OCG/TCG respectively.
It was already a problem because of the Numeron Gates but it was banned before the Utopia LIOV cards came out.

I saw my friend there out on the field today, I asked him where he's going, he said "All the way."
I have an account on my phone for Masterduel and was hoping to use Bluestacks to access it on PC. I have a googleplay account on both (same one) so thought I could DL the game on Bluestacks and be fine. I am at the tutorial stage and picking my deck and am wondering if this is gonna work or will it either be separate or worse overwrite my data?

Edit: Do I need to make a Konami account and data transfer?
Edit edit: Seems like thats how to do it.

I think if you get that far in, you actually can't do a transfer on that device any more. Get it on Steam imo.

I stopped the process before it downloaded and uninstalled the game on Bluestacks so I am hoping there is a chance it didnt register anything.

I actually have it on Steam as well, this was a second account I made to try some stuff. I dont wanna merge them so will probably just have a Masterduel "lite" account for mobile play and stick to just playing through Steam. Cheers though.

Probably anything with spiral phantasm in the name or effect, so no pacifis or the traps/equips, so there goes the entire point of the deck.

I also have that deck on both accounts so welp

Well, one advantage of loosing your n/r deck is that at least it was cheap. (Unless you tried for a full foil playset >_> <_< )

I have now reverted back to Blue Eyes and Dark Magician for the N/R brewing/event.

https://imgur.com/a/cLAbPcY

It's more just a ritual toolbox, but the Blue Eyes and DM archtypes have so much support that their older, shittier ritual monsters are actually decent and in N/R rare. You also get searchable outs like Relinquished or the Odd Eyes ritual that giant trunades on summon (at spell speed 4 so no reactions!) through the imp engine. The Kaijus are handily level 7 and 8 which is perfect for the rituals.

The Extra Deck is maybe all for show but why not run cross sheep if I incidentally have some combination of Manju/Kaiju/Chaos Sorc on the field to draw some cards.

The main thing is having an untargettable, can't be destroyed by effects, 3k attack bungus on the field and a bunch of other stuff that clears the field. One of the better available boss monsters at N/R. And the big downside of Impcantations minimizing your extra deck access is a lot less important in this style of event where all the good Extra Deck payoffs are illegal.

The worst part of this game is waiting twenty minutes between actions for the Blue Eyes chucklefuck on the other end to flick through their youtube supplied flowchart to decide what they want to do

also gently caress me every time I try and play pendulums they get instantly feather dusted or lightning stormed and I go whimpering back to skystrikers like an rear end in a top hat

What Blue Eyes decks are you playing against that are taking turns that long? The deck doesn't even have that many options to go into even at the best of times.

I don't know but for whatever reason the decks that take the longest time to decide on chains or just turns in general is always Blue Eyes and they always play like two cards in that huge amount of time.

Lunalights, Skystrikers, Trickstars. One of those nights where it didn't matter what I did, they always drew better and had answers. Maybe I'll just tell myself they were smurfing so I feel less frustrated, I dunno. Just sucks when you have that many games in a row where you feel completely unable to do anything.

These two statements do not go together, especially with Sky Strikers. That deck can get to Plat without even breaking a sweat, and unless the Blue Eyes decks are getting Chaos MAX out early or using Skill Drain they really have no good answer for it.

If you're consistently having rough starting hands, you need to look at your deck and figure out which of your cards are too niche or winmore, and can be cut for more starters.

Edit: Not to put too fine a point on it, friend, but you're complaining about people not knowing how to use their decks while you're stuck in Bronze with Sky Strikers and Trickstars. That's not a great look.
