Today for the fun of it I bought a stack of packs. Three Pharaoh's Servant and three combo packs (one Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon and one Spell Ruler in each pack + 1 bonus card.) I forgot just how fun it is to open packs of cards even if you haven't played in a while. Ended up pulling a holo Rainbow Dragon and a holo Crystal Beast Rainbow Dragon as my two of my three bonus cards. Dunno why but I just wanted to share that.

Just had one of the dumbest duels possible. I got out King Dragun and Horus Lv 6 pretty quick, but other guy immediately got out Thousand Eyes Restrict. So I couldn't attack and he couldn't suck up my dragons because of Dragun. So both of us did nothing for 20 turns until I got out my own Restrict, I sucked his up, and then he finally drew Tribe-Infecting Virus and we could do finally do stuff again classic

been playing master duel after not playing yugioh since spamming out blue eyes ultimate dragons with cyber stein in eternal duelist soul two decades ago. props to zenmasterbullshit for the referral code. i'm just kind of casually going through the solo stuff right now and whenever i max out on gems (why the gently caress is there a gem max) i buy one of the 750 gem staple packs cause i keep hearing about ash blossoms and whatnot and those all seem to include staples and also give packs for 75 cents on the dollar which seems pretty good. i'm kind of looking at archetypes to build into and i am totally lost - it seems like snake eyes is the best deck but having read a returner guide on master duel meta mikanko seems like it combines two of my casual favs back in the day - dumb wacky ritual relinquished poo poo and dumb equip spell poo poo. trying to figure out how far my freebie gems with stretch and how much of a tryhard i want to be with basically zero game knowledge.

Southern Cassowary posted:been playing master duel after not playing yugioh since spamming out blue eyes ultimate dragons with cyber stein in eternal duelist soul two decades ago. props to zenmasterbullshit for the referral code. Just FYI. There is a grace period to reaching max gems of 10,000 gems. After reaching 10,000 gems (or gaining gems that would put you above 10k), your excess gems go into a giftbox where they will expire after 30 days of when they entered the box. So you don't need to spend when you are about to max; you can spend when your gems will soon expire which will be a month from now. Ultimately how you want to play is up to you. If you want to tryhard, you can with Snake Eye, and since most of it is available in one single selection pack and the other things you would need to craft are generic staples, a snake eye deck is relatively cheap in the grand scheme of things (unless you get particularly unlucky with how many gems you can get from the solo gates). Conversely, if or when snake-eye gets nerfed, you may or may not get a decent SR/UR refund for how many gems you spent to get the main snake eye cards. Mikanko is a relatively straightforward deck if you go for a cheaper or straightforward going second version, but depending on how you build it, it might be more expensive since none of its main cards are in Secret/Selection Packs which means you will have to craft them. Some of the cards you craft for an effective version of the deck may either be niche or be mostly only good for going second strategies. Regardless of what deck you choose, in most cases, you are still going to have to study how various decks work if you want to try hard since Yu-Gi-Oh, at the tryhard levels, requires that you understand how to stop various other kinds of decks or how your deck would interact against them.

Mikanko best variant now is snake-eye. Joining the archtype’s respective discord channel is the way to go for getting the best advise.

There's no "article culture", basically all content is either videos, twitch streams or discord channels, and the discords can be... interesting (pejorative). In terms of competitive content creators, pretty much your only options that aren't just some rando are Joshua Schmidt and Jesse Kotton, or Garret Schier, and maybe Pak but all of them mainly focus on the TCG not Master Duel. Although there's still more than enough similarity to get something out of them imo, and there's a lot of twitch stream/VOD channel content about Master Duel. I guess you could also try MBT... but if you're looking for someone who isn't insufferable, probably not

Yeah there's not a great equivalent to something like MTG Goldfish. The closest is MasterDuelMeta but even that's kinda lacking and does things like put up an article on Infernoble w. Phoenix Blade combos when its retrain isn't out and it's original is banned and gaslights everyone into thinking bamboo sword is good.

There's no polite way of saying this, but I don't think MasterDuelMeta's writers (and Dkayed) are very good at deckbuilding. Looking at their latest introduction to Snake-eyes, the writer recommends a pure version playing betrayal - Silvera (lol) and 3 forbidden droplet because "there's slight synergy" (???). The FTK variant is only on 2 triple tac. You know, in case you only want it some of the time.

They seem to be guest writers, so the quality varies. The one for mikanko at least went to the discord to collect builds, too bad it’s outdated now that snake-eye took over.

There's no "article culture", basically all content is either videos, twitch streams or discord channels, and the discords can be... interesting (pejorative). yeah i gathered that the community is different pretty quickly. article culture meant i could see an article by lsv and know it's going to have useful info (and a ton of dumb puns) in it, but ygo seems like it's a lot like most modern things where the internet is a wasteland and most of the good info is on streams and hidden in discords, like you said. i'll check those streamers out - i'm mostly looking for snake-eyes vods to study. if any of the discords are less "interesting" than the others while still having good info i'm interested in them also Feels Villeneuve posted:there are some decent "where to handtrap" guides online, but they tend to cover TCG meta i'll look into that. it is wild to me coming from other games that the tcg, ocg, and master duel are all separate metagames Nyaa posted:They seem to be guest writers, so the quality varies.

Also the Yugi-goons discord is generally capable of basic knowledge of most archetypes in the game. Although a number of us have stopped playing as consistently it's still a place to ask help and get it, hopefully.

I haven't actually played this game since before synchros were a thing. I spent the better part of a week going through single player stuff and figuring out how everything works now. Built a Dark Magician deck with no intention of doing well. I just really like Dark Magician. Anyway, tried my luck in the duel cup thing going on right now and actually won four games out of six. It was: win vs a blue eyes deck win vs eldlich (this one was a back and forth slugfest. was fun!) lost vs swordsoul (learned not to let them go first cause hoo boy that boss monster that just discards things to negate effects and destroy suuuuuuucks) lost vs some burn deck win vs dragons win vs mystery deck. I say mystery because they conceded while I was plopping out magicians. Fun! Missed playing this game and now that I have things to build with I'll be looking over things and building whatever looks fun. Still laughing at losing to an honest to god burn deck. Hit me with just deserts, secret barrel, trap trick, bad luck blast, and two Mahaama the Fairy Dragon. Edit: Wait. Forgot the other loss to the person running a floodgate deck. Forget exactly what they used but I know it involves Fossil Dyno Pachylocephalo, Dimensional Fissure, and Mirror Force. So 4/7 games. Not bad still.

yeah pure stun is always going to be more effective in a BO1. it tends to come and go with different metas, though it's been a bit less bad since they hit some of the floodgate continuous traps
