It was the twentieth anniversary year and Konami wanted Blue-Eyes to win for that reason. They hit every other deck of note for the Worlds banlist AND gave Blue-Eyes an anti-pendulum card just as extra insurance.

I've been playing WC 2006 on GBA and I gotta say, the pre-official-release localised names for things are charming. You got Homunculus Gold, you got Elemental Hero Erikshieler, you got F.G.D, all the classics. Guardian Exode.

It's funny that Duel Links is basically what Legacy of the Duelist et al. was supposed to be, and it's a free-to-play gacha.

And by funny, I mean typical Konami.

I think it’s funny that Konami printing better Blue Eyes support than DM support actually is completely tonally accurate to the fact that Kaiba Corp ended up being the ones making the game by 5Ds. Presumably because when Pegasus passed away he left Industrial Illusions to the Kaiba Brothers.

So it is entirely appropriate that Blue Eyes Legacy support is stronger because it is in universe Kaiba printing the cards.

Relatedly, this is why D/D/D is the way it is even as it gets new support. It was made by the rival of Arc-V to be extremely complicated to play and use every extra deck method as a way of saying how cool and skilled he is at the card game.

For Synchros?

uh... the cheapest 'okay' ones I know need a ton of them because basically every good tuner/support/synchro monster is already a UR and the non-URs tend to be some hot garbage. More than anything else Synchros really seem to suffer from 'Part of an archetype? +1 rarity for you' which is the only way I can rationalize some of the insane classifications.

Here's what I'm running (just using my normal synchro deck I built for nostalgia). Its middling power and still needs like 9 non-staple URs to function. And that's with me cheaping out and going for subs on some UR Synchros.

Gonna need quite a few URs for Speedroids to work. Speedroids aren't an easy deck to play, either.

(Unrelated: I'm playing Speedroids for the event.)

Huh? What?


sorry i cant hear you over my current favorite deck to use for normal duels already which is just

bear

force

one



(granted, ursarctics are missing two cards, the funny 'sometimes you just draw 7 for free' spell and the fusion that lets you recover banished bears, but its still a stupid deck that people scoop to way more than they should because of how often i misplay :v: but there's something really funny about just descending bear-ing my hand on the opponent's turn to disrupt their stuff

also the rest of the extra deck is just synchros i already had that seemed possibly usable, will probably adjust it if i find any other cheap craftables that'd fit good)

Sub out the crossout designators for your hand traps of choice. You may even be able to get away with more since O-lion is legal. This event is going to be very silly with Maxx C.

Also took a peek at the banlist and they really want you to be on Synchro this event. Herald is banned and other Ritual decks got hit, including Blue-Eyes (lol). Eldlich still banned. True Draco got hit.

I think if you want the absolute cheapest deck, Pacifis is still okay. Phantasm Spiral is at 1, but more importantly Sea Stealth is at 3. Cheapest Synchro deck might be... Cardian? That Ursarctic list above is neat.

Given how almost all of the Synchro cards worth using are SR/UR, I guess even the devs realized that they have to make good loaners since almost nobody is gonna reasonably be able to afford to craft their own.

Listen, I like MBT, I like him a bunch, and this is one of his better lists...but that being said, this list is not good.

Once I have a list ready for the Synchro event (gotta figure out how to make a list that doesn't revolve around Rubber Band Shooter and Auroradon), I'll come back and give y'all a hand.

For a human, yes. For a bot, which can be programmed to play SelfTK solitaire? Teaching it how to lose quickly is much easier than teaching it how to win.

That just proves my point. Even the most independent, automatic, and least interactive FTK possible can be subverted by something as simple as cutting two cards from your ED. I didn’t say it’s impossible to make a bot that wins. I said it’s easier to make one that loses.

I mean, it does get wins. It just doesn't ALWAYS win.
