Mine is honestly fine. Pretty good exactly because 98% of decks run nothing but monsters and things that fetch monsters. Pulling players kicking and screaming into playing any cards other than their combo pieces is definitely more interesting than doing nothing but picking the correct 2 handtraps for the format. That all being said, I am just a fan of alternate wincon decks in the first place (new burn staples when).

If Maxx C just read ”If your opponent summons thrice, draw 2" everyone would still play it, because pot of greed is a very good card.

The thing is, if you think Maxx C is fine specifically because it counters decks that special summon more than an arbitrary number... (for reference, a mid-but-consistent swordsoul board of baronne chixiao blackout gives FIVE draws) ... is that those decks can and always run Maxx C too. Giving actual good and consistent decks free draws is way scarier than giving them to whatever decks you're on, and Every Deck Special Summons unless you are specifically on like... Floo, Pachy Stun, True Draco, or Burn.

I'm curious what the counterplay to Maxx C supposedly is other than having Ash/called by in your opener. Try to telepathically sus out whether they're on a good deck that will kill you if you give them cards or a bad one that will set 3 pass? So long as you aren't playing Maxx C in situations where it does nothing (chain it to duality lol), it's always optimal to use it, minimal brain required.

MD is very pretty, but it definitely doesn't really have much staying power to keep you playing once the easy gems run low. Basically just grinding ranked and then grinding the limited-time events that aren't very good. N/R at least was pretty nice because it was a very different format that you could easily build new decks for.

Konami is pretty precise about their language nowadays, so if a card doesn't specifically say "target" and instead is something like "choose" or "select" then it isn't considered to be a targeted effect.

Pendulum magician ftk is pretty consistent compared to others, the vaylantz field spells and beyond the pendulum give some new options for extension, though I'm still trying to figure out an "optimal" list that isn't just adding bricks. As far as playing against it goes, electrumite (or a starving venom that has copied electrumite) is always a good target for ash/veiler/imperm, beyond the pendulum can be crippling, as it locks you out of effects until you pendulum summon. Hitting cards that are trying to pop a scale can be crippling if you stop them from summoning level 4s. The ftk endboard requires 4 dark pendulum monsters and either 2 bodies for verte or having drawn instant fusion. Be mindful that verte has another effect that lets you turn a monster into a dark.

Floo doesn't need a(nother) hit in the first place. Without statue it's literally just empen/raiza/apex and if your deck can't play through empen and 1 disruption more often than not, it sucks.

Empen is mystic mine if mystic mine was a vastly weaker floodgate on a vastly more vulnerable card in a deck that has to play an entire archetype to support it.Flair posted:Nonetheless, Konami has the analytics; I would hope they know what to hit or buff. When halq was legal, Konami decided the actual problem card was [every good tuner] and the only reason halq got eventually hit was because splight was good and new and they don't hit good and new archetypes.

Skeleton Mom posted:things have not changed much. 3 maxx c, 3 ash blossom, 2 called by the grave Nah hand traps (except Maxx C because that's banned as hell for good reason in TCG) are something that depends entirely on the format and your deck. The ones that see really see play right now are the bystials (which are honestly probably gonna get hit). You ALWAYS run pot of greed confiscation etc if they're legal. E: basically, if every deck that can conceivably play a card is made better without reservation by that card, and every deck CAN play it (pot of greed, graceful charity, accesscode talker, trap dustchute, maxx "C", etc) it makes the game worse because what are you going to do, choose NOT to play it and cripple your deck? No real deckbuilding decisions necessary for those slots. With other handtraps, you switch them up to hit certain decks or to be able to synergize with specific ones, or choose to play different types of cards entirely because your game plan is to break boards.

mandatory lesbian posted:They were clearly talking about master duel, where maxx c and ash are pretty heavily played They were extrapolating how master duel is to all of yugioh, and the fact is, in every locals and official event that isn't either in Japan or a very specific side event, Maxx C is banned, and has been for a very long time. E: ok that's maybe a bit hyperbolic, apologies, but master duel is a very small slice of how yugioh is played, and it truly is ONLY in master duel where ash/Maxx C/called by are so overwhelmingly centralized.

Dabir posted:Isn't worlds even more different and weird though, from having to combine two formats with different card pools and banlists like that Maxx C isn't some fair card that people just make a big stink about it because they're babies, lol. For decks that special summon (that is, 99% of them because the entire game revolves around monsters) the card may as well read "(Quick Effect): Discard this card; End your opponent's turn." It's an obscenely powerful handtrap whose only counterplay is to either hard draw a couple extremely specific cards (1 of which is limited in the TCG, semi-limited in the OCG) or to just stop playing your turn and hope you don't die because you couldn't do anything. Well, that or ignore it and let them draw 6 cards and then DEFINITELY die.

Regalingualius posted:Just wondering, is there an archetype name for Ash Blossom and the similar “discard to negate opponent’s activated effect” cards (I.E. Snow, the one that negates a graveyard to field effect)? Just asking because it always seemed kinda random to me that she’s also a Tuner. It's a sort of pseudo-archetype called Yokai Girls, level 3 tuner handtraps Ash, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, etc. You're thinking of Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion, Fairy Tail Snow is the busted gy banish to summon/book of moon infinitely card. https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Yo-kai_Girl also look at this rad as hell alt-art ghost ogre

Cleretic posted:Also it's likely balanced more around the Japanese playerbase, and the Japanese playerbase is just much better at playing around Maxx C to the point where it's not an instant win. The western playerbase complains a lot about Maxx C, but they also never actually try not being a huge target for it. I don't get this kind of post. How exactly do you "play around" Maxx C and why is the Japanese Playerbase (  ) supposedly so good at countering a card that punishes any amount of special summoning?You can play around Nibiru by getting a monster negate up as a 5th summon, you can't exactly counteract "every time I special summon anything this turn they draw for free" except by just not playing the game because special summoning is THE integral mechanic of the entire game as it stands right now.

Irony Be My Shield posted:You play a deck that can achieve a reasonable endboard without too many summons. An obvious example would be Master Duel's current best deck in Despia, which only needs to special twice to set up Mirrorjade + Branded in Red.

Nyaa posted:If the new Time-Rending card ever caught on and everyone plays it, then hand trap meta will change. People will still pack maxx c though. Nah, that card is not good. You lose out on ALL monster-in-hand effects permanently which is every handtrap except imperm and also engine stuff. For the cost of that, you get extra draws which don't start until your NEXT turn, and another normal, which most decks don't actually need. It COULD be good in a lower power format for normal-focused decks, because there are fewer legal handtraps that you'd be giving up, so the drawback is less crippling, and the games last longer so you get more value.

Charles Bukowski posted:There are formats where hand traps are less useful. There are decks that don't play hand traps Yes, I already mentioned lower-power formats, and even in the current tear format where you have a deck that can play through anything, you still really, really want D Shifter. And decks that don't play handtraps would certainly prefer to draw a Lightning Storm or Evenly Matched than a card that is basically just Double Summon that turn.

If you don't like the current format, and you don't like the alternate formats, you aren't willing to LEARN to play them, and other card games aren't an option for you....
