Yugioh doesnt do a lot of things that have become standard for card games since the 90s.
A cash prize pool for events, regular communiques and attempts at transparency with the playerbase, artist attribution on the cards, acknowledging playerbase originated formats as something valid for events (Time wizard events only started at the end of 2020).... etc

its frustratingly old fashioned at times.

Purrely cards tanked overnight. Good thing I bought playsets before ban list dropped.

probably just shouldn't buy physical product if konami is willing to hit a deck two weeks after it becomes viable with no explanation as to why. they might as well switch to a rotation system if they're going to put out lists like this

Thanks for the confirmation, I figured someone would've said if we were but I also thought 'hey so I haven't heard about Master Duel at all, maybe it happened and I didn't notice'.

there were some preemptive hits, kitkallos is at 1 and the ishizus started at 2.
The ishizu packs getting retired so theyre hitting it harder.

They're really going out of their way to refund as little UR dust as possible, huh? Mind you, I'm mostly glad that Spright is still mostly playable, as it's the only tiered deck at the moment that I'm remotely competent with. Also, I'm guessing that Elf not getting hit means we're not getting Sprind yet. Hopefully Bystials are the shot in the arm for Branded that everybody says they are.

Kitkallos not being banned confuses the gently caress out of me. They knew they were gonna ban that card the second they decided to make it an SR, so what's the holdup?

I guess they want to give it one more month since the Tearlament pack is still around. RIP to my Naturia/Vernusylph/Ishizu pile

Also the next pack is supposed to be Bystial and that engine is a lot better if everyone is still on Tearlament (and having to cut Ishizu names at that)

Speaking of packs, I wanted to gently caress around with Libromancers but I missed when their pack was in the shop and they don't have a Secret pack so I'm just kinda hosed, especially with them having 4/4 UR/SR

Prehits on Bystials in Master Duel:

We gazed into the eyes of madness... And all we found was horny.




Just wondering: are Bystials an "intended to be a hard counter to the current meta deck, but also highly complements it/makes it even better" archetype w/r/t Tears?

In the physical game(s) Bystials actually out before Tear.

That sucks honestly. Less likely to be a metagame shakeup if both of the good Bystials are pre-hit to 1.

Ha, I was doing the fairies only challenge duel in WC 2006, and my opponent hit my Venus with Snatch Steal. Then they activated its effect. Only, they didn't have any Mystical Shine Balls, so basically they just paid 500 LP to show me their deck.

Then they did it again.

They were down to 300 after that, so I don't know how far that rabbit hole goes. They're probably scripted to just use Venus 3 times, but I wonder if they're set up to spam it until they see three balls out of their deck...

Other way around. Tears were PHHY, Bystials DABL.
And yeah bystials were a clear anti tear tech for the meta since it makes their fusion effects fizzle.

Still wrong! Tear was POTE, then Bystials were DABL, but then the Ishizu cards that made Tear crazy were in MAMA. All of this in a 3-4 month period.

PHHY was the set that put Kashtira on the map more than anything else.

Notably Dusk Dragon and Blazing Cartesia are now confirmed to be in the next set so Branded can do the Gimmick Puppet Nightmare lock without expending all their resources on it. Hope that gets banned quickly

Update to this: I duelled Kuriboh and tried giving it Venus with Creature Swap. It paid 7500 LP to show me its deck and no balls 15 times.

And in the OCG the order was completely different! It was POTE > Ishizu > Bystials.

Went 2-1 in a small 6 man loca tourney with branded dogmatika ritual. One loss to pure branded. If I had gotten into secret village, I could have cooked his rear end but didn’t see either two copies, terraforming or my 3 metaverses. Branded really loving pops off too

Here comes the third tactic.

Played Blind Second Spright and Dinomorphia for the event. First opponent scooped to Maxx C/Ash. Second opponent scooped to Anti-Spell. Third opponent scooped to Ferret Flames. Cool event. Got a pack of N/R cards, so I guess I got what I deserved.

Next structure deck is Ninjas. Also, I just realised that the blind second Giant Ballpark deck I like to dick around with has become yet another victim of Konami's unwillingness to touch any of the actual Tearlaments problem cards.

Looks like tomorrow's new pack will include Spright Sprind to go with the Bystials and general Branded support. I'm really glad I saved up 9k gems, as Spright and Branded Despia are by far my favourite decks to play that are actually competent.

First duel with my new Branded Bystial deck, going first:

1) I activate Branded Opening
2) My opponent chains Maxx "C"
3) I chain Crossout Designator
4) I start scrolling through my deck, realising I didn't include Maxx "C"
5) My opponent surrenders before I select another card to banish
