Yeah depending on your hand going first the relevant things you can do are: - make Bagooska in defense position to hopefully ruin your opponent's turn - send Salamangreat Roar (or Rage if you already have Roar) to the grave with Gazelle and then get it back with its own effect or Sunlight Wolf - make Heatsoul (usually using Splash Mage, keep in mind that you'll be locked out if you go for Miragestalio first) - add back Salamangreat Circle with Sunlight Wolf for followup/protection, and trigger Sunlight Wolf to get a monster back for your next turn At some point you should've gone through Balelynx, which both gets the field spell to enable plays and protects your Sunlight Wolf if you end on it. None of these endboards are amazing but you have enough space for staple interaction in the deck and you're very good at OTKing on subsequent turns if you've managed to get through all your opponent's interactions. You'll generally be going into either Accesscode Talker made with Update Jammer to make it attack twice (and therefore kill) or ideally Accesscode Talker with Transcode backing it up and blocking your opponent from negating it (Accesscode at 4300 attack linked to a Transcode Talker is lethal damage). Failing that you can try to outresource your opponent by gaining two additional cards from Sunlight Wolf per turn. I think the deck is decent overall, mainly notable for how close you are to the full deck if you just buy 3 copies of the structure.

Honestly, it feels that most of the recent structures are, at the very least viable if you get three copies of them and craft a handful of UR staples. Dragonmaids, Zombies and Salamangreat can all be turned into decent ladder climbing decks.

That'll come to an end if the current theory holds up and the next structure deck is Dark Magician, complete with the heavily-begged for Illusion of Chaos.

Looks like there are no limits on Megalith or Impcantation cards for the Master Duel event, so I guess I'll just use my deck from the N/R event.

On the plus side, Crusadia OTK is basically at full power. I can't believe they didn't ban kaijus. Edit: \/\/\/ - we don't run that anyway, sooo...

Ancient Warriors has like just enough cards to make a deck, but it's probably not worth it. Beetrooper has everything it needs besides DPE. That works for me!

Missing out on Interrupted Kaiju Slumber and Accesscode Talker is painful for Kaiju Crusadia Blind Second, but the deck still has plenty of OTK potential, especially with the banlist for the event. You can still go Parallel eXceed into Update Jammer at least, and just smash face with Equimax or Avramax.

I've been going through the theme and limited duel challenges in WC2006. The one where you have to deal 8000 damage in a single attack or effect really has me thinking. I can see a couple ways to do it, but most of them involve cards I don't have yet. My first plan was to use Metamorphosis to cheat out a big fusion monster and tribute it for Great Maju Garzett. The easiest way to do that is to turn Metal Reflect Slime into Cyber End Dragon. Except I don't have Cyber End Dragon, or Great Maju Garzett. Second plan was Gren Maju Da Eiza, but banishing 20 of your own cards when the most recent set is Shadow of Infinity sounds like hell. Third plan was to use Maha Vailo, Mage Power and a bunch of other equip spells, which fell flat when I realised I don't have any Mage Power. I don't know how I could possibly do it by effect. The biggest burn effect I know is Ceasefire and that caps at 5k. I'm pretty sure I can switch to older banlists, so maybe switching to one where Limter Removal is at 3 and deep drawing until I get all three is the way to go. E: Des Koala can do it, if I can make them draw 20. Dark Snake Syndrome hits 12800 after 7 of my turns, but unless I can block the damage or give us both an extravagant amount of LP it'll cause a draw way before then. DD Dynamite does it if I banish 27 of their cards. Dimension Wall, Magic Cylinder or Zoma the Spirit does it, but I'd still need to get them an 8k beater. I could just grind up the DP I need for a copy of Great Maju Garzett and tribute Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder for it, I have four of him somehow.

In 06 and later, you can use a passcode as many times as you want, but it costs DP, and in 06 in particular the prices are ridiculous. Like, Great Maju Garzett is 3900, Limiter Removal is over 9000, and you're lucky to get 1000 a duel from the top tier opponents.

Since in GX Duel Academy you could use BLS Envoy, two Primal Seeds, Banisher of the Light, Limiter Removal, and any machine monster to deal ludicrous damage and get enough DP to last you the entire game. Maybe that still works here?

There's a bunch of different things that contribute to the payout. Battle damage/100 is one of them, but there's also a 100 DP bonus for getting them to exactly 0, so you'd have to deal more than 10,000 points of overkill in a single attack for that to be worth it. Which is the exact puzzle I'm trying to figure out. This is a low-end victory payout from Horus LV8, one of the tier 5 opponents. You can try to farm points, I guess, there's bonuses for destroying things by battle, for using lots of spells and traps, for using no spells and traps, for no special summons, all sorts. But I don't think I've ever seen a reward above 1250.

Just be careful when boosting a monster, as if their attack gets too high it'll overflow and snap back to their base attack.

That would work. Except I only have one Primal Seed and I don't have either Envoy. Pull rates suck in 06, and a bunch of the good cards were taken out of their original packs and moved to the special ones you unlock at endgame, the ones that cost twice as much and some of them only have three cards each instead of five.

What year of the championship series is it where you have increasingly obtuse goals to beat in each world to unlock the next one, where a ganefaqs is pretty much mandatory to know you need to beat each of these dudes 25 times each in an order or something silly? Yeah that game owns.

I think they nerfed the deck by deliberately putting in too many bricky World Legacy cards, since realistically speaking, Orcust and Knightmare are already basically the same archetype.

I don't think the Plunder loaner necesarily has a lot of juice compared to what else is in the format, but it's definitely got enough tricks to make some people scoop. I admit I don't really get what the theme of this one is, though. I thought it was solo mode archetypes, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't a Galaxy-Eyes solo gate.

There wasn't, but it's an archetype that can be built off of a structure deck without any of the key playmakers hit by the event banlist. Meanwhile, I seem to be doing fairly well with Crusadia OTK - although I'm running into issues doing the side quests because people tend to scoop the moment it looks l ike I'm getting ready to set up a lethal swing. Most recently I was starting my link climb against an opponent with one card in hand. Summoned the Crusadia Link 1, summoned Parallel eXceed, they tried to veiler my Link 1, I had Crossout Designator. Instant scoop, thanks for the points, but I wished they'd have at least let me link climb to rack up some Special Summons for the event.
