The last time I really paid attention to Yugioh was early 5D's era (08-09 jfc) and I looked through the ban list just for nostalgia sake

they really unbanned Chaos Emperor Dragon? RIP to the OG banhammer

I remember when the top decks were Lightsworn and DAD and all that stuff. Is any of the "classic" stuff still playable nowadays?

All the new summoning mechanics since then seem wild

Given you get a monarch structure deck for free, is investing in the Monarch secret booster pack a good idea? Monarchs are very much a retro choice, but its what I remember from when I played a decade+ ago. HERO cards were used in the Perfect Circle build, what packs are those in? If I wanted to make a more modern deck, where should I start? I remember someone mentioned Burning Abyss is usually competitive. I have that pack unlocked too.


Are the secret boosters really only available for 24 hours?

How is your card pool shared between decks? The game gives you a free Monster Reborn almost immediately. Can I use that one copy in every deck I build, or do I need multiple copies for multiple decks?

Cool


Can someone explain Anchamoufrite to me? It has a bunch of effects based on it being the only card in your extra deck, but Ancha is a main deck monster and I'm really confused

Hey everybody I've been playing Master Duel for past week and have been having a blast! I'm running Cyber Dragons, and Thunder Dragons as my main decks since the last time I payed attention to YGO was in 2018-2019 when the latter was meta. I just hit Platinum, so I think I'm doing decently well for myself. I even OTK'd a guy with his own card to get there!

Also fortunately I haven't fought Drytons yet, so I don't know why they're apparently the most hated deck in the game. What's their deal, and what's my counterplay?

I finished dueling a guy where, if he attacked at the start of his turn he would have won.

Which he did, after finishing a completely unnecessary 20 card combo. I had a completely open field and no hand traps. loving Dryton players

I managed to get out a Majesty's Fiend (no special summons allowed) on the first turn and my opponent immediately scooped. lol

In another duel, i was playing an Eldritch/Sky Strikers deck who had me on the ropes and was gonna win. He then scooped for some inexplicable reason. Double lol

MegaZeroX posted:

Yeah, but not all cases. Like, with Skystrikers, they are basically only going to be doing extra deck special summoning (at least for their first special summon), and when you Maxx C in response to an extra deck summon, it doesn't count that initial summon, you are better off just chaining Maxx C immediately when you know they are on it if they are going first, unless their first play is exactly to summon Raye, in which case its probably just better to hold it since it won't do anything because they can just chain her to their only special summon of the turn. If they are going second, then they will usually bring out Hayate first so you can also chain it to them sending a card from deck to GY, which will cause them to be in a bind, where they either let you draw 2, let you draw one and get the card they sent, let your draw one and get a search for some other card that isn't in the GY, or just awkwardly pass with Hayate out.

I played Skystrikers and managed to establish Domain of the Monarchs on my first turn. Other player had no counter and quickly realized the only move was to set and pass. I won in three-four turns

Props to them for not scooping

Just played a dude who went first and FTKd me with Exodia. Has to happen to everyone at some point

If I had gone first, I would have gotten out Majesty's Fiend and locked out special summons, which would have completely stopped the version of Exodia they were running :argh:


Losses to Exodia FTK should not count against wins needed to promote a rank

Thats rough, hard to say whats best. Have you any other decks and are they decent? If you dont plan on doing other decks cos you have some you like Id maybe pull for it... not sure though

Let's see.

I have a complete domain monarch deck that pretty decent. I need to craft more of the common staples (Maxx C, etc) to reduce the brick rate.

I have an elementsaber deck that's missing a core card or two. And whatever tech choices I feel like, Dark Armed Dragon and such

Eldlich, where the only core Eldlich I need is Golden Boi. Still have to craft staples

The kicker is that I bought a few Burning Abyss packs in the beginning and didn't know what I was doing. I would like to save my gems for this and finish it off

e- I have a finishes budget Prank Kids as well


tl;dr - I want to save my URs to craft staples, but I want to save gems to finish the BA deck. I've gotten more copies of the Eldlich fusion monster than Eldlich itself from pulls, which is really annoying

Trying to get through Gold with Domain Monarchs is a trip. I can win 3 straight when I establish the special summon lockdown, then I will immediately lose 6 straight because of the high brick rate. Maybe I should learn how to play the Eldlich deck I made


I wonder if Konami is going to implement an Xyz-only banlist or something. Otherwise, I expect everyone will swap out their Maxx C for Flying C and poopoo the entire event

The funniest loving thing, IMO, is giving a Timelord player a Kaiju and then not destroying it, so they can't bring out their only monsters, and you have all the time you need to build up a board. Usually at that point, their only out is using their own Kaiju and crashing into it. (Though they can still summon a lord M2 if they manage it, so watch out for that.)

I played a timelor deck that got me down to 200 life points before I got a token on their side of the field that shut them down and I was able to cobble together a board and OTK them


god Timelords are obnoxious

I think Cleretic was asking about hte new arcethypes.

One of which is Mysterune https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Mysterune

They're based on first person RPGs and are built around slamming out your guys from the extra deck immedietly and using there effects for protection while you recycle quick play spells for disruption and milling.



Most of your quick play spells disrupt AND mill but you don't get to battle BUT your monsters are really only there to give further protection and searches.

ALSO THEY BANISH not send to GY so you can slap in SOul absorption and Fire Princess to be a huge rear end in a top hat.

Mysterune also work well with Magical Muskets of all things
