A Climactic Encounter Ending on 1 Negate and a Dream

Vandar posted:

Major Yugioh storylines tend to run for twelve sets / a full booster series, and this is the final set in this series. There's also no more room for lore cards in the setlist.

The going theory is that they're going to do a timeskip and do a part two, similar to the gaps between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 or Terminal 2 and Terminal 3.

Or there's just going to be more in the next set as well? We just introduced the fallen of sprights. They can just keep going, there's no new animr season to need a clean break with. Because none of the new card arts really show what happens to the True flame Albion dragon between its trap card these.

We had some leaks for this set (and like 90% of them have been true) that said she was supposed to get a 'dragon knight' form but there's no more room in the set for Abyss lore cards so maybe that got pushed back until later.

New Event could be fun. I hope they're careful with the banlist. If they let us use generic stuff, I think I'll be going with Beetrooper.

Therion really needed 4 UR's, huh. I guess I'm saving up for the next pack.

Irony Be My Shield

Obvious picks:
- Plunder Patroll (decent, self contained modern deck)
- Megalith (good deck with its own plays, plus it will have access to the very powerful Herald line)
- Beetrooper (decent modern deck, but could suffer a lot depending on how strict the ban list is. If it's limited to only directly Beetrooper associated cards it loses a lot of its powerful plays)
- Orcust (somewhat outdated but very powerful in its time. Might suffer from lack of starters without generic cards to pitch Harp Horror)
- e: and myutant of course

There's also some good OTK strategies in Crusadia and Mekk-Knight, although idk how well those will work without generic going second tools.

I'm looking forward to this event providing the banlist hits some of the obviously strong decks, it should be substantially different to ladder.

Ballpark is really fun and has some interesting interactions. And it's a cheap deck to craft. It's just worse than ever to blind second right now.

Mathmech Circular hitting before the broken POTE archetypes is potentially big. It really does everything for the deck.

Testing out the Ballpark deck in the casual duel mode... gently caress me is casual duel mode useless for practising a deck. "Oh, you have literally any interruption at the first move I make? Well, I'd better surrender then."

Skios
Oct 1, 2021
I take back everything bad I said about casual mode. Look at this glorious disaster of a deck:



The basic gameplan seemed to be:
1) Put a copy of Morphing Jar #2 in the graveyard
2) Activate All-Out Attacks
3) Use Reverse Reuse to set the Morphing Jar #2 to the opponent's side of the field.

From there, All-Out Attacks would force it to flip up, activating its ability. I think the goal was to have this activation mill all three copies of Lucky 7 as an alternative wincon. However, what ended up happening was a Morphing Jar #2 coming up before any copies of Lucky 7. This created an infinite loop in which Morphing Jar #2 kept getting set to their field, then flipped by All-Out Attacks, activating, until the only card that remained in their deck was a singular copy of Morphing Jar #2.

You mean Jackpot 7? Yeah, that's a weird way to try and win off Jackpot. The much easier way is to give your opponent a Dark Scorpion Burglars, then use Hippo Carnival and attack all three tokens into the Burglars.

Did you go with Grass or some sort of non-degenerate game plan? Either way, your goals for the end of your first turn are (and in order)
1) Have Madame Verre on the field.
2) Have Bystreet either on the field or in the graveyard
3) Have as many other Witchcrafter spell cards in rotation as possible

*bonus*

4) Have Aruru in your hand
5) Have some other forms of interuption (Magician's Hands and restage are fun times)
5) Have Haine on the field.

People will often Maxx C when you summon one of the lower level Witchcrafters, their summoning ability is a quick effect and if you chain it to Maxx C, they don't get a draw off of it.

Since you get a full refund for breaking down copies of newly-limited cards that you have more than legally-allowed copies of, and can potentially roll glossy versions that break down for even more, can you hypothetically make infinite points in whatever rarity by repeatedly crafting and breaking down copies, or is there something in place to prevent those shenanigans?

You only get the full refund for however many of the playset were banned once.

So this card name is a reference to the original start of hte storyline where the place was called 'The CLosed-Off Land" and features a very obvious happy ending. So it looks like we just don't have all the plot cards yet like people thought.

I can't believe how much fun I'm having with the Giant Ballpark deck. I decided to crank out a few dailies before bed and went 4-0 in platinum rank against Mathmech, Numeron OTK, Adamancipator and Sky Strikers. I still don't grasp half the link lines, but the deck has definitely given me an appreciation for I:P Masquerena. Also, it's amusing how sometimes the best play when you have Giant Ballpark up is to just Kaiju their biggest threat, summoning your own Kaiju, then cracking your opponent in the face to the tune of 6000 damage off of Giant Ballpark's activation before setting up your own board in Main Phase 2.

Well, poo poo.

I was wrong! Happy ending after all. Neat. It's also really cute that it can grab every character pictured on the card.

It's also just a really loving solid card for pure Branded decks (or hybrids that use an archetype with no/a lovely field spell).

Edit: The best get if you already have Albaz is Springans Kitt, right? So she can grab you the Branded spell you're missing out on by using this card instead of the Despia field or Magical Meltdown or whatever.

How good is Salamangreat in the current meta? I’ve got pretty much all of the URs (just missing some generic hand traps), but Link summoning I’m still rusty on.

What’s the difference in what goals you should be aiming for going first vs second? Going second, the obvious endgame is to use Accesscode to destroy your opponent’s board with impunity, but since it’s not a quick effect, that power is diminished if you’re going first.

They are alright but not particular strong or weak. Going first, there are some variation of endboards, but I think the strongest involve setting up Bagooska and then Heatsoul and/or Salamangreat link monster with the omninegate.
