Julias posted:I modified the mayakashi mill deck someone posted earlier in here and have been making a surprising amount of progress with it. I'm already in Diamond 3. Oh drat, I ported some of these changes in and it got me to Platinum for the first time. Most of these were on the radar before (Kozuki wasn't, I didn't know that existed), but sometimes you don't know which cards aren't pulling their weight until you see someone else ditch them. Now I'm in the difficulty range of 'figure out what to do against Swordsoul'. Fortunately, it seems like most Swordsoul players don't know what to do against me.

Just saw a Duel Live match with the stall bot. Which would have been funny on its own, except the other player pulled off Dark Strike Fighter FTK.

In the mean time, started loving around with a N/R Phantasm Spiral Paleozoics. It's a remarkably fun build, even if I'm probably playing an extremely subpar version that needs lots of work.

The TCG has Mystic Mine at 3 because they threw tantrums about all the other cards that tell combo players to slow the gently caress down. It's Maxx C. and friends or Mystic Mine, and they all rejected Maxx C. and friends!

Honestly, I prefer Mystic Mine being legal to Maxx C, at least in a best of 3 format.

girl dick energy posted:Honestly, I prefer Mystic Mine being legal to Maxx C, at least in a best of 3 format. Maxx C actually advances the game state and it's much more easily outed with how much hand-trap hate there exist. Mystic Mine is made to absolutely lock down the game so that either 1 or both players don't get to play. You either set the lock early and just wait til you get your OTK OR you set it on the crack back and just wait out the game. The amount of times I've just gone to deck out because of a turn 5/6 mystic mine is more than I can count on my hand and that alone makes it a card worth banning. It just sucks rear end. Like Maxx C at least adds some level of decision making. Do you shut down early and wall up to weather the enemies turn or do you go full bore? How many draws are you willing to let your opponent get to set up something? Mystic Mine is literally "Sit and wait til you draw the out (Sometimes multiple outs required) or die because the opponent is playing a deck that can kill with 0-1 monsters summoned." As seen in the YCS last weekend. Cleretic posted:It's Maxx C. and friends or Mystic Mine, and they all rejected Maxx C. and friends! Bring them all back. At least they'll kill me fast.

Jeff's Mystic Mine is honestly one of the least good versions of and it's still incredibly consistent and good. As a child I played Area b Gravity Bind Raging flame sprite wave motion cannon lock down burn and it's basically that but your opponent has even fewer chances to respond and it's all enabled by a single easily searchable card

Honestly even if we do reach a point again where it isn't the only way to tell a combo player to slow the gently caress down, I'd be more on board with giving Mystic Mine an errata to take away the more powerful edge cases than just banning it. I think the worst part of its actual design is that while it has an in-built self-destruct condition, it's incredibly easy to build a deck that never once triggers it by never having monsters in the first place. So maybe it'd be less frustrating to see it also destroy itself if there's no monsters on the field at all, or possibly to make it a jacked-up Kaiser Coliseum by borrowing its mechanic that it does nothing if the user's got no monsters. Basically, to either way force the Mystic Mine player to play monsters, even if they're gonna be a weirdo about it.

Mine DOES blow itself up if there's no monsters on the field at all, doesn't it? The problem is it only checks during the End Phase, so if you have some way of giving your opponent monsters, it'll survive.

Wait, no, you're right on that one, I remembered why it usually blew up on me when playing a Mystic Mine-Timelords deck. I guess the Kaiser Coliseum angle would probably be the thing, then.

If the game slows down enough that my lovely GX era stall deck is relevant again I may cry. So many rage quits in WC2008. *fake edit* Maybe if there's another N/R event I'll bring back some variant of this with at better knowledge of deck building.

You know what? You're right. Ban Mystic Mine but bring back Kaiser Colosseum. (I still fully believe that the main reason it got banned is that it's a rulings nightmare, not because of power.)

I'm surprised Mystic Mine did so well when the Adventurer engine is still around and very easily outs it. I guess a lot of the top decks can't actually play it.

I wish there’s something to counter this whole negate(s) shenanigans of modern meta. If only Witch’s Strike is a counter trap or quick play and everyone pack it…

Like, technically speaking that combo works, but Witch's Strike being so slow and a frustrating amount of negate sources being immune to its destruction means that you'll never see it pan out.

Nibiru is actually an effect to activate it, so it's actually quite counterable if the negate destroys/banishes it as well.

No, since Nibiru says "you can only use...once per turn" negated activations count towards that. Rigged Death Trap fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Jun 1, 2022 |

Sphere mode is awkward since their most common endboard is just 2 monsters and it locks you out of the normal.

Yeah, I gotta admit, I'm curious what you're playing that isn't even working in Bronze. Do you mind sharing your decklist? We might be able to help by pointing out any obvious flaws we see with the deck, which will give you a better base for learning the game from.

Thanks for the advice on Swordsoul! It would be more ideal to get the Tenyi's in rotation. I was running a very greedy version of the deck with DPE and, erm, Metaltron XII...PenguinKnight posted:good lord I wish losses would drop you down in rank. bots got me up to bronze and people have real, complete decks here It's rough with the season reset. I remember some seasons where I would see full power drytron, tri-zoo, etc in silver. I guess some people de-ranked even further.
