Honestly the hit to Branded Fusion isn't that bad either.

Looks like Master Duel dislikes the performance of Branded, Floo, Spright, and Tearlaments. Nonetheless, the Tearlament and Spright hits are not that bad; mostly hits on consistency. The Limit on Virus is pretty telling that Lady Labrynth is coming soon.

I just realised they still haven't hit Spright Elf. I'm guessing they're terrified of giving people more free UR dust than absolutely necessary.

Topped my local tourney tonight 4-0 undefeated with Mikanko Kaiju. Worst matchup was floo but I won in time, blew out the final round which was Labrynth by top decking lightning storm and finishing with the Double-Edged Sword OTK. Definitely recommend for a decent deck that doesn't need to rely on extra deck that can go first or second and can't wait for it to come out in master duel

Too lazy to do a video, made a quick and dirty deck list here: https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/1st-place-undefeated-locals-mikanko-kaiju-332725

Brief thoughts on the match ups, and there are way better cards for the sides and extra deck you could put in but ultimately the extra deck is pot of extravagance juice to wring for that sweet draw 2 nectar. Droll can be brutal against the deck, but there are ways to play around it. The key with the deck is patience. Getting skill drained can suck but there are ways to play around it.

it's a fun deck and the most expensive cards are Ohime and water arabesque, but the extra deck you really don't need to worry about. If you have Baronne, it's worth playing. Any of the level 7 Kash monsters are cheap and free special summons if you have an empty board, if you have that and an ash in hand, you have baronne for basically free. In my games I didn't go into the extra deck once. So basically the main investment is the 3 ohime and maybe I personally went with 2 water arabesque, as you can search it out easily so it feels too bricky to have 3.

It is a relatively budget friendly meta competitive deck, in my opinion and it's a lot of fun to blow up your opponent with their own battle damage. My final game was versus labrynth, top decked lightning storm going second, cleared his backrow which was d barrier and skill drain, equipped his lovely lab with double edged sword and swung for 10k for game.

You can find a lot of videos of people using Flower Cardians to do just that. The exact term you're looking for is Maxx "C" Challenge.

Konami doing this death-by-a-thousand-hits murder of Floo is the stupidest poo poo. Either kill the deck like you're clearly trying to or let it exist in peace considering it hasn't been a problem since statue was banned.

Also of course, the casual 87.8% Maxx C usage rate is A-OK! :cheers:

I really wonder how much people just snap scooping against Floo influences the statistics. Maybe it's that, or maybe it's just Konami loathing the idea of a decently competitive deck existing almost entirely without in-archetype URs.

The combination of it being very cheap and very straightforward to play probably leads to an inflated overall usage and winrate.

the same thing happened with blue-eyes and shiranui on duel links for a while, they got frequent tiny banlist hits long after they were competitive just to try to convince people to play another deck

The statistics does not show the usage rate for Floo cards. The statistics only show that, in the previous season before maintenance, the floo cards had a slightly above winrate. (That being said, that win rate also applied to Exosisters in the statistics, and it probably has to do with Tearlament tier 0 meta from before the maintenance.)

Glad to see expulsion banned. Guess we're finally getting the DW structure cards, in a way it's a shame to kneecap it before it releases but I'm also glad I won't have to play against setups that discard my entire hand turn 1

I believe some of Ally of Justice's assets have been in the files for a while, and I'm interested in seeing their solo gate because of exactly this. Ally of Justice suck, and don't even seem to be consistently designed; I wanna see Konami try to polish that turd and see what they think this thing's supposed to do.

Theyre a duel terminal archetype. Theres an entire storyline related to them, and they dont have to write up lore for them.

Konami could make a duel terminal gate like they did for world legacy but they havent.

So, with that emergency banlist featuring no Kashtira cards, the day that the next pack comes out, does that mean that we won't be getting Kashtira yet? I do hope that it'll include the cards from the Traptrix structure deck, so I can finally play my physical deck in Master Duel.

Judging by how they've done other gates, "clumsily merge them with an actually good archetype and desperately try to convince you that both decks are equally useful".

Is Destiny Board Labrynth actually a viable thing, or are we looking at another 'widest possible variance between strongest and weakest cards in a secret pack'?

I think it is to keep to a theme of Fiend archetype that heavily relies on a backrow and field spell to win. Also to inflate the chances of you getting Labrynth since an individual is likely to want one archetype over another rather than both.
