What will happen to me if I start playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel?

What will happen to me if I start playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel?

you'll get handtrapped on the first turn and get OTK'd by some dumb combo on the second turn

And how do I stop that from happening?

MOOOORE!!!

Get free Reverse Trap on my dice board

Matched against someone using the Ra loaner

He actually fucking gets a 3K Ra out and pumps it to 11900

Reverse Trap for game

God I hate that there's no match history for this mode

you handtrap them first

It's a best of 1 format, you can't
Best you can try is to play a deck that doesn't fold to one handtrap and learn your best ways to interrupt other common decks

Sex With Purrely!!!
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX!!!

somebody is fuming and falseflagging at /mdg/

true kek

Retard

this is why generals are mistake

Dumbass

Oh shit it's a day that ends in Y?

Just finished MD Proficiency Test and I still don't get why activating Astrograph Sorcerer as Chain Link 2 means I can't activate Purple Poison Magician as Chain Link 3.
Aren't these two effects optional effects with an "If" which means I can activate them in any order I want?

SEGOC works differently in the OCG. For hand effects to trigger, every single public knowledge effect has to trigger first, so that means Purple Poison becomes cl2 (or cl1) alongside Electrumite, while Astrograph will become CL3 barring any opponent's interaction. That's why you can't chainblock with hand effects in Master Duel unlike in the TCG, which is why cards like Simorgh Bird of Perfection in Floowandereeze are worse here

In the TCG you'd be correct. But OCG+MD works slightly differently. Astrograph triggers in hand. Since the hand is a hidden information zone, that means that it works more like a quick effect for building chains.
This is also why Ghost Mourner is worse in TCG since using it on your turn will cause it to be chain link 1 so it can't negate trigger effects of monsters summoned by the opponent on your turn.

how ironic

falseflagging at /mdg/

?

Tearanny's mills under Droll

Took the screenshot at the exact second he scooped

I've been mostly playing ABC unions in the event, it's actually pretty fun. Starting with extra link material on field helps do knightmare gryphon setups whenever I remember how to do those. I never realized how much better ptolemaeus is for making infinity than the galaxy solfiers. Can't use afd to get to regulus but I still play him just as a fun-of
Shame that the deck dies against one well placed interruption, we don't have much in terms of extenders

You grow hair on the bottom of your feet and your dick shrinks 5 inches, the fuck do you think happens it's a stupid ass card game.

Blue-eyes players do the same thing with the link 1 when you summon Thunder Dragon Colos on them.

reduce opponent's life to 0 by playing exactly 1 card

Nice event Konami

Thanks. Why didn't they just say this in the explanation man
How am I supposed to know the timings for hidden information zone effects are different from public information zone effects

It’s in the top right.

Jej some people are hell bent on maximize their handtraps and then shitpost about floodgate deck. I admit that made my deck worse but it is a good fun for the event.

Mating Pressing Purrely

gooddo jobbo

Never do this.

Even if I have Iris Swordsoul in hand?

Stun

You go for one of your other three one card combos.

I played a Tear player in the Duel Triangle event with the Zoo loaner and after I cleared his board and he realized he lost, he sat through the entire timer hoping I would DC.

And that helps going second how?

play 1 card

win

Who said anything about going second

your reading skills might decay

You will end up wanting to replay older YGO games so you can actually see the turn counter reach double digits and you don't get to use the GY as a second deck.

GY

The graveyard has been second deck for 20 years bro. I understand your sentiment though.

Well yeah, old YGO was 20 years ago.

opponent does 0 damage to me in 12 turns

accidentally deal 8400 damage to myself

it was completely avoidable and I had game

Would it be feasible to limit every single major combo starter to 1 to increase inconsistency? Maybe also make that apply to the most important extenders.
Thinking about it that would definitely be absolutely ridiculous and never happen. But I wonder how the game would play? A single interruption could brick even more decks.

1-card combos and chokepoints should not exist in the first place.

I wonder how the game would play?

masterduelmeta.com/articles/events/may-2024/limite-one-festival-top-decks

Nothing would change.

Is this Loss?

1 main monster zone left

he doesn't get it

I thought fiendsmith was good but the endboard is only a simple fucking fusion negate wtf?

There's more to it now with the new 4 cards (Lacrima, Agnumday, Rextremende, and the trap which I forget its name).

Anon, there’s a reason I used that scene from that movie in particular.

Keep it to yourself.

You go for a deck that's build out of traps for the better half of the deck to make sure opponent doesn't get his 1 turn combo in.

You still get a chinese hacker in there who auto wins the game somehow by quitting you out of the game. (Happened.)

You still get a chinese hacker who makes their deck have the win condition combo every time on turn 1. (Happens a lot.)

You will get a scrub who quits on turn 1 because their hand didn't happen.

Poor zoom zoom, I’m sorry it went over your head.

We had Dumb & Dumber on VHS and I watched the headlights scene over and over, and my oldest brother wanted to show it to my cousin and was surprised the VHS was already at that scene (no one knew it was me).

Shut the fuck up, retard.

Yet you still missed the joke, fucking shameful.

You’ll start taking oestrogen

560 Los vs 1 Dyson Sphere. Who wins this one?

Purrely Coitus Memory

oh nice free removal

You play a better designed card game. If you’re desperate to play this trash in a less braindead manner play on a simulator that does best of 3 matches. Enjoy your nigger and sea monkey card game.

double digits

Literally never happened unless you’re running nothing but battle phase skippers. Even goat and earlier formats are decided by turn 3. Yugioh is a sack fest.

Just play YGO but old.
There is tag force series on PSP and world championship series on GBA/DS

Eeh, reaching turn 10+ is easy enough with the sheer amount of spells and traps that will block/destroy monsters and prevent attacks.

Playing Fissure in 2025 felt good.

If there's anything to take from this event is that starting the game with a live card would be a pretty interesting format assuming you ban the obvious OP ones.

I run RDA cards and I can't even summon Supernova.
I could summon Calamity and OG Red Nova

How do you decide between ending on Caesar or Desirae?

Each player is given a ban and a limit before the game starts

Deck selection happens after

3 duel cool down so you can’t just choose the same cards every duel

Would this be better or worse than things already are?

I don't know what the fuck this means.

Desirae is safer because it floats while recycling itself. I always felt like Caesar was a meme outside of Unchained.

You each get to choose 1 card to ban and limit.

Who is "each"?
Why are you using LESS words to explain what you are even talking about?

In the last survey I recommended an event where you could run 1 banned card

tears get merrli

punk gets chaos ruler

everyone else gets graceful charity

What if I'm playing the Paradise trapcard as discard fodder/Lacrima send? being able to send the 1 off Desirae with it works as an interruption assuming I don't summon it.

Who is "each"?

Now you’re just being a fag, but I’ll try again anyways.

Each PLAYER is allowed to ban and limit 1 card

Deck selection takes place after the bans/limits

You can’t ban or limit the same cards you did the last time for a period of 3 duels afterwards.

Better?

You moron, no shit it's players. You think I'm arguing grammar or something?

How many players? Are you talking about ladder where 2 players go against each other? Are you talking about a tournament with many players? Are you talking about a special event?
You just started shitting out words with no context. We're not inside your head and don't know what you're even talking about.

And you're telling me you want people to make a whole new deck for a custom banlist they've never seen every 3 duels?
And why wouldn't you be able to choose the same cards?

Use some fucking words you retard.

Also these sentences are contradictory:

Each player is given a ban and a limit before the game starts

Each PLAYER is allowed to ban and limit 1 card

Are they GIVEN the banlist or are they MAKING it?
Are they using one universal banlist, or does each player get a different banlist?

For fuck's sake.

Eeh, reaching turn 10+ is easy enough with the sheer amount of spells and traps that will block/destroy monsters and prevent attacks.

Yugioh is a proactive game. Playing reactive will always set you behind, not to mention battle traps have been bad since forever. Nobody will let you get more than 1 for 1. I know Anon Babble is full of Indians who can’t grasp competitive concepts

How many players? Are you talking about ladder

Ofc I’m talking about ladder you fucking troglodyte. What else would I be talking about, fucking casual?

And you're telling me you want people to make a whole new deck for a custom banlist they've never seen every 3 duels?

No, you would have multiple decks built like you already should.

And why wouldn't you be able to choose the same cards?

So you couldn’t ban the most effective thing vs your deck every game/never play against top tier.

Just the ones in hand. I hated starting with a monster in center zone because that royally fucks up my deck's line. I was tenacious enough of a shit to play around it but it was sometimes an auto-lose against the more powerful decks that showed up.

Anon that post was about 20 yo YGO.
You were very limited in how much you can do in one turn, so you had to use several spells and cards to make sure the oppo doesn't gain an advantage before you do.

There’s no way you’re this fucking stupid.

Does anyone really think that this game is that bad?

Mechanics-wise, it's great. Card design-wise, it's powercrept beyond redemption and only getting worse every few months.

What it had me realize is that the fuckup with Links and tokens leading to most links requiring Effect Monsters, just made Normal Monsters so bad Konami figured it had to make OP bullshit like Primite

start 5 games with ghost beef because I can't wini

turns off impem, lightning storm, can't use as Synchro material, too high level for XYZ, Masq useless since no SP

Feels like Ojama token pre-Synchro

Here's how you make Mirror Force good, but not broken.

Ofc I’m talking about ladder

Your ambiguous words could be interpreted as players (in a tournament) are each banning a card and limiting a card, so the banlist that they all use is their collective choices.
If someone interprets your words like this, why would they think it's ladder? That would be 4 fucking cards in the entire banlist, that makes no sense, and why they would think you're talking about a tournament and not ladder.

THAT'S WHY I'M TELLING YOU TO USE MORE WORDS.
You're a fucking retard who thinks we're inside his head and already know the context you're thinking of.

Read YOUR OWN first post again and pretend you're seeing these sentences for the first time. Get out of your own head.

And at what stage is this banlist happening? Before matchmaking (so you're blind to what your opponent could be playing, and this banlist carries to other later opponents)? After matchmaking (so you could infer what they're playing from their cosmetics, or even bluff what you're playing, and the banlist is on a per-oppnent basis)?

For fuck's sake, why do I have to drag the details out of you when they should've been in your first post?

You could probably change

If you control no cards

To

If you control no monsters

Still probably wouldn’t be broken.

The game seems go be heading into a decent direction for once.

AAAAAGH JUST GIVE MALISS ALREADY IM SICK OF ALL THIS SHIT

I’m gonna stop throwing ad hominem because you’re actually trying to have a conversation.

could be interpreted as players (in a tournament) are each banning a card and limiting a card, so the banlist that they all use is their collective choices.

If someone interprets your words like this, why would they think it's ladder?

Because tbf when do we ever speak of master duel or making it better in the context of tournaments? It’s always about ladder and how to make it more bearable. I agree the first post wasn’t as concise as it could have been but come on anon.

And at what stage is this banlist happening? Before matchmaking (so you're blind to what your opponent could be playing,

I said earlier that it was before the game starts, so after queuing.

and this banlist carries to other later opponents)

Anon, I’ve said multiple times now that you can’t choose the same cards to ban for up to 3 games after choosing them, I’ve even given you the reason why, that only infers one thing.

That would be 4 fucking cards in the entire banlist, that makes no sense,

That’s enough to cripple most decks if you’re calling out the right stuff. It effectively would make it where you can just ban a deck you don’t want to play against for a game.

I can't believe how power crept Spright is. The deck needs the opponent to both brick AND to run a stupidly huge engine with little in the way of nonengine support cards. There's also no recursion whatsoever.

Slopped together chimera and branded but it's fucked without verte and only 1 albaz
So I slopped chimera azamina fiendsmith with that new slut and holy fucking kino

Big nigga chimera searching chfusion and KITT which will then special after the fusion and search branded kino is too good, some of the best synergy I've seen in a slop pile ever

Card design-wise, it's powercrept beyond redemption

On the other hand, at least in Master Duel, both towers and monster floodgate strategies are gimmicky or basically don't work at all anymore. Trap floodgates are inconsistent and sacky.
The game still has a problem with omni negates, but on the whole it's not as bad as in some formats like Adventure Prank-Kids DPE.

I’m gonna stop throwing ad hominem

Alright, I'll do the same.

when do we ever speak of master duel or making it better in the context of tournaments?

Not necessarily Master Duel, could be tournaments in general (paper), because in these threads we basically talk about everything yugioh, and not just specifically Master Duel.
Yes, the term "cool down" is more associated with video games, which would hint that you're talking about Master Duel, but it's still possible that you could've been borrowing that term.

I’ve said multiple times now that you can’t choose the same cards to ban for up to 3 games after choosing them

I kept going back to your original post because that's where you outline everything.
Reading "Each player is given a ban and a limit before the game starts" made me think you meant that the players are given a ban/limit against them (whether from MD or from tournament organizers, so players wouldn't be choosing what is banned, but a third party), so you would make a deck on the spot based on them, so when you said "3 duel cool down so you can’t just choose the same cards every duel", I thought you meant "choose the cards for your deck", not "choose cards for the ban/limit list you will give your opponent", because that wasn't in my mind to begin with.
Going back and forth over different points explained over multiple posts is confusing and tedious to piece together.

I'm not being pedantic to be a Redditor, I was trying to understand what is it that you were talking about because there are many contexts and interpretations to what you said. That's why I kept telling you to expand more on what you meant.
I've seen so many discussions get muddied because what was initially said was ambiguous.

cont.

I was trying to get ahead of that so that your intentions are not misunderstood (by others and myself).

You'll realize the game was better 20 years ago.

Game would be fine if they reset everything like 5 years ago and didnt replicate any of the mistakes. The powercreep is way too insane. They really should just focus on adding new cards to already existing archetypes and making them fun rather than everything being combo slop negate spam. I like Yugioh because conceptually and I think the original idea was that there can be a bunch of decks that can be viable since theres no rotating format but the reality is that Yugioh probably has a worse case of cards rotating out than Magic or Pokemon.

TY-PHON outing Colossus despite being a cope card is fucking hilarious.

I say this everytime it's posted but nowadays you can tunnel out 2 to 3 colossus a turn usually without issue since it's at 3. So alone none of those are remotely threats anymore.

Also you're retarded for not listing Imperm which is the true murderer of the single Colos

It's not so much omni negates in my opinion, as it is the going second problem. If every deck has good t0 interaction then games are more dynamic and the going first player will end on omnislop less frequently.
Unironically some of the best duels I've had lasted a single really fucking long turn because both players played almot the same amount of cards.

I'm not being pedantic to be a Redditor, I was trying to understand what is it that you were talking about because there are many contexts and interpretations to what you said. That's why I kept telling you to expand more on what you meant.

I've seen so many discussions get muddied because what was initially said was ambiguous.
I could’ve done better at articulating it for sure, you’re were also correct about me assuming everyone knew what I was talking about, I’ve just had these discussions so many times that I sometimes forget not everyone has.

It has its moments, but it's genuinely unpleasant and barely resembles what it used to be, even if you ignore optimal strategies/meta and just want to have fun.

Sorry about what I said

If thats true why am I still playing the same branded and mathmech decks that I've been playing since late 2023?

you can tunnel out 2 to 3 colossus a turn usually without issue

Most modern meta decks can out even two Colossus backed by nonengine. I've seen RB, Kashtira, Branded, Snake-Eyes and Tenpai all do it and win. All of those methods to remove Colossus aren't mutually exclusive, you can extend Fiendsmith into SP into Typhon until they're all gone.
Meanwhile, Thunder Dragon has to run a bunch of bricks just go go all-in on the floodgate strategy, assuming your opponent doesn't care about it. Blue-Eyes pre-Primite was walled by Colossus but Primite basically has no issue doing its plays under one.
Dark Law has the same issues. Mask Change 2 is at 3 but no Dark decks use Dark Law because it's worse than Macrofissure in almost every way. What makes Trap floodgates good is nobody runs Duster due to how inconsistent it is, but you can run so many floodgates you are guaranteed to open a few.
Even if I had an Instant Fusion like card that speciald Colossus or Dark Law directly from the ED, it would still be sacky and inconsistent shit. Almost completely useless going second and unsearchable going first.

Rare instance in which 2 retards gain 30 iq in the span of minutes to argue like normal humans.

Where are the fucking leaks? I need to know if they'll put the good cards in soon.

I don't normally leave a general up when I post in it but the only reply I caught was someone surprised that the game was still ongoing.

How about you newfags take your 24/7 scrolling general to ? I'll continue to post my harmless copypaste in every Big Three CCG thread.

Stardust's evolutions are so ass...

Towers are fine. Goddess is barely used, Kaijus even less so.

Tbh I got hit by daruma recently but besides that tower strategies are format dependant. And rn everybody prefers having a full ed

Yu-Gi-Oh is a lot like Pokemon in the sense that it's pretty fun if you're just playing it casually with an archetype you vibe with personally and it gets dry and monotonous the moment you play optimally against people playing optimally because the design process starts and ends with japanese salarymen trying to approximate the experience of mythical creature cockfighting without truly considering what makes for an engaging gameplay experience.
Good and well-balanced metas are almost always completely incidental and accidental.

More than anything I miss the old aesthetic.

this game is so boring now
too many good decks that they will just not ban for some reason

yeah basic insect is goated , too much cyberpunk shit and kawaii uguu girl cards now

tfw yugioh will never achieve kino like this ever again

Get into slop piles

Duel Links is better.

Yeah, old card art aesthetics are great. I understand the shift, I still vibe more with the original intent. I also prefer the more frequent closeups to take a good look at the character's faces.

these aren't fun to play

Shouldn't it special summon Formula Synchron from the Extra Deck then?
Why did that gimmick go to White Forest of all things

Nigga you fags have gotten a ton of new cards pandering to your bitch asses, but it will never actually be enough.

play bad deck to spam hit-or-miss boss

hit-or-miss boss is hit-or-miss in good decks

Sounds like power creep chief

manage to break a Centurion WF board

get to make a monster negate (for when Stardust returns) a destruction and be in the process of summoning desirae

summon Engraver instead of Lacrima by accident

I used to think RDA needed a Circular, now I know it needs a Maiden

deserved for playing fiendsmith shit

Nigga you fags have gotten a ton of new cards pandering to your bitch asses

It's not about any given new card, or old card refresh with a new clusterfuck effect tacked on. It's about the overall aesthetic and cohesion of the game's pool. Obviously if you just pick and choose and buy singles to admire the art or whatever it doesn't matter, but that's always true and is beside the point.

Yugioh has always been a hodgepodge of ideas Takahashi found interesting, ranging from weird occult fantasy to super hero inspired men in spandex and even cute/moe shit. Hell, when they brought the guy back for the movie he made fucking Magician Girls, the exact type of moe shit people bitch about. The only thing that has changed is the expansion of the artist pool, which is just something that has to happen with a game as old as this.

for some reason

Money

I never understood this argument. This is like people denying for some reason that pokemon's general direction has changed over time. What the fuck would even be wrong about an artstyle evolving and people being attached to the particular nuance of earlier styles? It's been like 30 fucking years, it's literally impossible to not have the aesthetics change over time. There's a grand amount of zero, ZERO mass phenomenon franchises that have produced output for this long and have kept the aesthetics exactly the same as the first iteration. Zero. Null. None. If you try to point one out, you'll be wrong. It doesn't exist and this one is no different.
Even if Kazuki himself (rest his soul) was still alive and had drawn every single card art for the entirety of the game's lifespan, the new ones would still be different than the first ones because everything changes over time, including a single person's artstyle. This is why the internet is completely packed with fan creations of "X, but in the old artstyle" for literally everything that has lived long enough.

There's a grand amount of zero, ZERO mass phenomenon franchises that have produced output for this long and have kept the aesthetics exactly the same as the first iteration

Digimon

The problem is the playerbase 9/10 times you'll run into the same copy and paste Meta desks whenever you brave ranked. The game is full of trend chasers who are rarely punished for their unoriginality.

Unfortunately a side effect of the internet, every game is plagued by this issue.

I said mass phenomenon

Why don't my contact fusions count as fusion summons in the event unlike in dailies?

The yugioh card game is broken as hell all because Konami chased short term profit.

master duel sucks because its mostly about the ladder and the ladder (deranking) sucks

why is water.dek so bad when bystial fiendshit is so popular

You American or something?

Everybody from Chile to China to Germany to Sudan knows and loves Digimon.

They don't count as fusions at all for either.
Fusion summons are done by effects that tell you to "fusion summon".

Jack cards are themed around the past (Graveyard)

The graveyard is the future of all living beings however.

purple backrow?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING TRAP TRANNIES CRINGE CRINGE CRINGE STOP THE FLOODSTUNTROL

blue backrow that works exactly like purple but you don't even need to wait next turn?

:)

Unironically explain this double standard without sounding mad or deflecting

Do you get to keep the SR/UR cards you land on during the event, or do they only appear on your board for that one duel?

I'M SEETHING

Why
Also I'm reminded I want to try a magician girl theme in some other game, maybe it will be fun for legacy of the duelist.

3 more hours...

I hate troonick and sky trannies as much as trap shit

Why

No DMG Mate in Master Duel

legacy of the duelist

Never played that one

I've come to realize the game will always have a level of bullshit surrounding it that while higher than what other games deem to be too much is still not at critical levels.
still we do have Verre sexxe so that's something

are there gonna be more missions for the dice rally? i still need to do a bunch of xyz/fusion/link summoning, but i have all the other missions done. i need to figure out a deck that can do all that plus the bonuses

You keep them

Yes. It's irredeemably shit. Still waiting for Digimon so I can drop this for good.

Mobile only

dead on arrival

Never played that one

It's a cool one, you get to review the story of all YGO anime seasons, can play duels both with the character's deck or yours, can reverse duel to play as the opponents in every episode and obviously has MP.

Mobile only

How do you think I play this garbage, you dumb cuck?

EoS in less than a year

Konami really needs come out with Master rule 6 and revamp going second.

90% of MD userbase play on mobile

Yeah bout that.

Yeah, Master Duel is pretty cooked once Alysion comes out, I agree.

gas all phonefags

He plays Troon-Gi-Oh on his PC.

Lmao
I play when I'm taking a shit. That's what this trash deserves.

good morning sir

Thanks for the free wins

that would turn the game into more of a sack fest where every deck is full of tiny engines and if you don't draw into one you lose

Force all mobile players to play near a microwave

You can't just call everything you don't like transgender

The uninstall option

The Digimon franchise has grossed an estimated $6.3 billion in total revenue, including sales from games, merchandise, card games, and animated films. While not as successful as Pokémon, Digimon still demonstrates the power of cross-media synergy in generating revenue. Reddit notes that Digimon has grossed a profit of $6.36 billion, exceeding other popular franchises like Minecraft and Shrek.

Honestly, Alysion creeping this hard was always going to be the killshot. The fact that Konami keeps power creeping for novelty instead of gameplay health is nuts. MD's gonna feel like Speed Duel with how dead the older mechanics are getting. Give it 6 months post-release and it'll be nothing but Alysion mirrors and rage quits.

Reddit notes

is this a bot

Just came back to the game. Could someone explain the new dice event to me? It's a lil confusing.

I swear I've fought more melodious in the event than I have in a year of ranked.

You duel and it gives you points for winning or completing the bonus objectives. Every 500 points gets you a die. You then roll the die to move forward. The space you and your opponent are on will influence the duel with things like players having half LP.
You get rewards for getting dice and also for reaching the end of the board.

hey guys John Konami here, so I heard you guys loved the Tearlaments T0 meta, or as we like to call it: your turn? OUR turn!

So we made not one, but THREE archetypes that revolve around t0 plays!

I hope you enjoy the game ;)

You duel
You get points towards a die roll if you win or lose
The die sends you further on the map
Every other die you get also gives you gems
As you progress you'll land on squares that affect your next duel by either

giving you a shitty card added to your hand/field at the start of the duel

both players start with an extra card

both players start at half life

Basically your goal is to win duels to get die rolls which get you closer to the end goal.

It's just regular matches but when you win or fulfill event conditions you get dice. You automatically roll the dice you earn to land on different spaces on the board and each one has a different ability that affects the duel. Rewards are based on how many dice you earn and how many boards you clear.

tl;dr You don't need to do anything special. Just duel like normal.

fuck you too master duel

Stun fags get fucked.

Get Jinzo'd

People scooping against abyss actor

Imagine losing to a third rate deck.

gaylord

play a 10-hour long duel

roll a 1

Very cool event, thanks konami

how the fuck is branded still relavent

Season 1 and Cyber Sleuth are completely different.

playing legacy of the duelist

pegasus vs kaiba

about to lose because lol RNG

can use that spell to double a monster atk when I have less LP, it's a toon gemini elf

kaiba responds by stunning it and slightly reducing atk

but also refuses to do anything because it still has more than BEWD

nothing much I can do at this point

he does nothing either

we just keep drawing and discaring

win because I have exactly one more card

Well then.

Because it’s literally never been shit. People keep underselling it when it’s constantly one of the best or better decks.
The main reasons are how much gas it has and the many many different ways to end on a similar board.
Now if you ever see a branded player complaining about meta cards whenever they’re played, tell them to eat shit.
I play branded still and I don’t delude myself into thinking it’s ever weak.

It's surprising how few people in the event bother to make a burn deck to grab a free win every time you get half LP.

Fuck balance, r8 and h8 this shit

Refracting Mirror Force

At the start of the Damage Step, if your opponent's monster declared an attack; Apply one of the appropriate effects, depending on the Attributes of monsters on your opponent's field, GY, or banished:

*LIGHT: Negate the effects of all face-up monsters your opponent controls, and it is now the End Phase of this turn.

*DARK: Banish all face-up monsters your opponent controls

*WIND: Return all face-up monsters your opponent controls to the hand.

*EARTH: Change all your opponent's face-up monsters to face-down Defensive Position, and their battle position cannot be changed.

*FIRE: Send all face-up monsters your opponent controls to the GY, and if you do, both players take damage equal to the ATK of the highest ATK monster sent by this effect.

*WATER: Return all face-up monsters your opponent controls to the deck.

If you control no monsters, you can activate this card from your hand.

just win the coinflip bro

It's been like 30 fucking years

That goes both ways retard. Expecting a series to stagnate for 30 years to appease your bitch ass is childish.

Yeah? Why wouldn't you do that. It takes like 15 seconds to flip the coin. Are you scared you'll rank down?
Even if you for some reason do care about winrate here it's not like people are spamming spell negates.

retard

should have fulfilled the bonus conditions so you could roll 2 1s bub.

Not that anon, but I just did that... At least one of them lands on "proceed 2 spaces" or I might commit sudoku

Still seems bad.
Using it from field is still as vulnerable as just using Storming without really being better. Needing to have no monsters to use it from hand also means that you're betting it all on a risky play. If they set up a trap negate then you're just dead because you didn't defend yourself, and you can't even attempt to bait out their Baronne or whatever with a monster on field.

The only deck I can see considering it would be Stun but I think they might just stick with Storming since it won't be worse vs some mono-attribute decks like Light and Fire(self TK risk with Judgement). It being activatable in the Damage Step is what makes me not confident on that.

It's cool though and I like that you matched the effects to the attributes.

The bonus conditions in Dice Rally should change daily to incentivise you to use different decks.

My opponent opens a hand of 5 handtraps and draws Mathmech Circular.
The amount of times I get hantrapped to hell and lose to 1 card OTKs is enough to fund a college fund if I was paid 1 dollar for every instance.

If both players land on the LP 1/2 square then the duel starts with both players at 2000 LP

wew lad

Yiffe!

Congrats you are in the original anime now.

He said blue backrow. So Troonsmith.

HER format.

Does anyone really think that this game is that bad?

Many things i want to say, but my biggest gripe is how the game been stale since MR5 was introduced. You could take a time machine right now and go 10 years forward in the future, yet, is gonna be the same 1 card flowchart archetypes shilled, the same handtraps to prevent the game itself to fall off, the same unnerfed link faggotry, the battle phase is still a formality, the same canyon wide sized between tiered decks and rouge/pet decks, still only 2 formats (Modern and time travel shit only a few autistic retards care)
YGO takes no skill, nigger-coded card game. Makes me extremely angry the fact Rush duel is such much better designed game after trying it on EDO but Konami will never import it into Master Duel

since it won't be worse vs some mono-attribute decks like Light and Fire

The Light one is actually probably the most evil since it's just a effect negate with no stipulation (which means it just lingers forever) and the immediate end phase shift means there's no room for recovery that turn.

I hate 20 handtrap decks, stun decks, decks where discard for "cost" will trigger GY effects, and generic 1-card slop engines. Past that, I think the game in its current state is extremely fun. I always have a fun time whenever I face against a pet or a fair rouge deck.

I hate 90% of relevant decks but love the game :3

Bold.

heading into a decent direction

about to be another tier 0 format thanks to inherent activation summon nadir servant

If you play the game you'd know people won't even wait through combos anymore because of how bad handtrap roulette and unbreakable recursive fields have gotten. Even when you understand decks your payoff is playing coinflip RNG with people who have no reason to interact with you if you can combo. I can't even get my YGO friends to log anymore. Decent direction lol

wind one is lungs

shittiest one is intestines

heh

Just go second lol. It's more satisfying seeing a combo fag go for 5 minutes only to die to 5 spells

the only decks this game has are those released a year ago

Bold.

Sure, if you're imagining using it in a random deck like say, Dragon Link. But random decks don't want to run a card like Mirror Force even if it has potential to be used from hand.
The only deck that has considered running a card like that in the past half decade has been Stun. And it doesn't matter all that much if you're turning their bosses into vanillas with a turn to play freely, because you're not clearing boards with a top decked Barrier Statue.

The only deck that has considered running a card like that in the past half decade has been Stun.

I could see it being used in Lab as a one off
inb4 lab is stun

Yes. The current format is terrible and bo1 makes it even worse. I think Konami is actively trying to sabotage this game because it's not getting enough people into OCG and TCG and cannibalizing card sales. MD's banlist is so fucking bad that it makes the OCG look great by comparison.

I can't. The big reason to run a 1-of trap in Lab is that they're settable from deck with Lady. And the big sell of that trap is you can sometimes use it from hand. No one's seriously considering running a Storming in Lab. I think I'd sooner run Farewelcome.
Maybe Paleo would consider it.

I think to make a Mirror Force good in 2025 you'd need it to have some good floating effect to trigger when it's popped/negated so that it's guaranteed to do something worthwhile.

HE is live. OH MY CHEESUS

Isnt that what mirror force launcher is for?

seven games

five coinflip losses

No handtraps on four, maxx c in grip vs floo on the fifth

first coinflip win maxx c into BE with everything in hand

second coinflip win they have double droll and nibiru against designator

That might be enough master duel for today as well

I said it'd need a GOOD effect.

dodges your Imperm

post your deck

I fell for the flash fusion meme again and in the same way as I did before

Anyone got a good video for learning Fiendsmith combos?

...why?

I keep forgetting it can't summon guardian chimera

Deck is 20% archetype 80% hand traps

Term for this deck phenotype?

Gay.
Slop is used for non-committal non-locking engines.

hand trap control

Is HE leaking yet?

hell yeah

You niggers told me to craft Rextremende but nobody fucking uses him except Muskies

Literally no one told you that.

you mean my peenus weenus? it's very leaky, it leaks all the time, my peenus weenus i mean

What the fuck is wrong with these mentally ill trannies that they pick the longest fucking combo decks in this event?

Is this on purpose to piss me off?

Endymion is fun.

This.
I'm waiting for Shadowverse 2 and Digimon
Master Duel has gotten so shit, I've unironically picked up Marvel Snap

I've actually found it to be FUN

free win

Need to get as many duels in as possible to finish the event

WHAT IF I PLAY COUNTER SLOP THAT TAKES 10 MINUTES TO SET UP?

Do people really not value their time at all?

Tistina

OK, good joke you got me.

I showed my mom Fiendsmith Emgraver and she said he looks gay :(

Pisstina breezes through this event

Fiend pile makes me wanna cum
I LOVE FIENDS

Literal trans monsters

yeah, fiends.

Use this on sexosister trash to remove one copy of the only card that could save them and ruin my skillful plays

They top deck it anyway.

Fuck this retarded game.

losing to exosisters

Embarrasing

He is gay. You are gay.

When does shadowverse 2 release?

Holy shit what a board

it was delayed
It's now
June 14th

Leaks?

You'll flip a coin every game. If you win you decide who starts first. If you go first, you have pretty much won 80%. You ONLY win when going second if you draw at least 2 of 6 specific designated cards in your 40+ card that, which are literally only there to interrupt the enemies 10 minute combo.

A sharp rise in blood pressure.

HE said its a reprint pack

Waow how unique!

What if you're a going second CHAD? Not that you'd know anything about that, your post reeks of being a coinflip virgin.

every time i tune in it's just bystial fiendsmith primite vs fiendsmith primite bystial and i tune out

It is a shitty tower when Desirae with sequence is good enough most of the time

>At the start of the Damage Step, if your opponent's monster declared an attack

why does it need to be at the start of the damage step?

DRNM
Evenly/Book of Eclipse chain droplet

only one s/t negate

DRNM

Chain Chamber, chain Desirae
Non-targetting negate, BITCH

Zoo loaner

I actually have the Zoo deck but stopped using it while Drident (?) was banned. Does it still old up?

My post reeks of playing better TCGs now, Yugioh is giga garbage and peaked 13 years ago

To dodge interaction.

Can he be used in the grave as fusion material, or does he have to be on the field?

Does it say it has to be on field?

IT'S TIME TO
DU DU DU DU DUDUDUDUD DUEL

Guess I can activate this from the grave as well, right?

Tried to make the last warrior from another planet work
They always have imperm

Tearlaments use similar cards to summon Grapha and yes they can be used from grave.

Thanks

Stick with your single player games boomer bro. You won't have fun here.

Ignition effect, so only from the field

No one made you write that retarded post.

Oh so I guess this ignition effect from the grave is a misprint, right?

Retard

See

Reminder this is a Light Fiend and legal in Dice Rally.

How come I can activate the effect that says activate in GY in the GY, but not the one that doesn't?

Smartest Yubel troon

It is an ignition effect that specifically says from the grave

no but fusion substitutes can't be used as substitute from banishment (lubellion)
yugioh is retarded

pretending to be retarded

TL;DR don't reply if you're retarded and don't know the answer, unplayer.
Stop making rules from your head.

It's a misprint that they need to errata :^)

And this card doesn't say it's specifically from the graveyard, so it's not an effect that can be used from the graveyard, right?

tfw playing against tear and kashtira ai in edo

yes the ai will negate the first thing you throw at it so its abuseable but still playing through shit like diablosis and 30+ mills per turn tear showcases how bullshit they were

Don't bully the Zam.

Moon is banned to prevent me from accessing Fiendsmith?

guess I'll just use my normal summon and the free link 3 you gave me to GO INTO MY LIGHT FIEND KNIGHTMARE GRYPHON

Is he leaking?

Give me a fun playable deck to build.

Ranked or Rally?

Let me check
lol this guy is right

Ideally ranked but more realistically just for random casuals since I'm already fine with my current deck.
Honestly I just need to burn these gems, I'm past the freebie cap.

Melodius

Psy-Frame Primite
Mikanko Regenesis

Live Twin Spright?
A stealing deck?
A Gameciel infinite negate deck?

That card is not an ignition effect, cunt. It's unclassified

I've been having fun with Allure Queen.

Stealing is pretty funny, but I have to imagine that most of those cards don't have dedicated packs.

You mean bystial primite regenesis with pesanta available

Well sure if you can play Kumongus or Radian in it

Pure runick, as many of the quick plays as the game lets you have, zero handtraps, planet pathfinders to better access fountain, some draw spells, all to try and ethically mill your opponent to death
don't forget your 3 copies of soul absorption so they can't possibly kill you faster than you mill them
Also card scanner is unexpectedly good in this, it lets you get one of the runick spells from the bottom of the deck every turn

Could be interesting, any interesting builds?

Might be worth it just to get the secret mill mission out of the way.

NTA, but Allure Queen is just White Forest.
You're gonna have to craft a lot.

any interesting builds?

There are definitely wacky builds out there since it can summon any 1500 or lower attack spellcaster from deck. There's also a Red-Eyes Metalmorph Allure Queen deck that takes advantage of the fact that Allure Queen is pretty good at summoning level 7s.
But I'm just playing it pure(ish) based off this guy's build that he took to Master 1.
youtube.com/watch?v=o3KMHOHnhQA

I haven't played MD since it was released, any current fun decks that aren't just removal/negationfest?

No

Any cards that don't utilize the two primary forms of interaction the game offers

So stun, you want a stun deck. Those still exist yeah.

He said fun anon.

Any cards that don't utilize

nope, just that don't focus entirely on those interactions

ninja and ghoti

Alright anon, what can a card do that doesn't fall under the broad umbrella of

Stops your opponent from doing something

or

Removes a resource

outside of the third option of

Halting the game state entirely

?
I mean effects that don't suck, obviously.

you're right holy shit this game is fucking bad
sucks that I missed the runick and kashtira meta

Runick

Resource removal, typically runs stun and negation as well

Kashtira

Literally the most stun fag shit you could possibly have in a game like Yugioh, as in they literally stop you from playing any cards

You might be retarded.

sorry I thought we were still taking about removal or negation specifically, instead of changing the subject to broader terms... for some reason

Control and Stun decks don't remove cards or stun because... they just don't ok?

If you're going to shitpost at least do something believable like pretending Tenpai and Floo were somehow not cancerous bullshit.

people asking about abohmod by name

What a legend

all those cards are also legal in the TCG

you lose the little faith you had in mankind

Holy fucking shit the plays abohmod makes

Lab alt when

ABDULLAH YOU MORON PASS PRIORITY

It’s a gacha, how do you think you’ll stop it?
Here’s a hint, “it makes the world go ‘round”

Gravity? Ferromagnetism?

Maquinamon

tfw 10,000 gems

o7 to abohmod

New set when

You’ll troon out.

What? Lullaby does nothing against Exosister. The deck uses 3 copies of Martha, Elis, and Stella. No retard runs either one of those cards at 1.

same and there's literally nothing to build. I'm just waiting for mimighoul and malice.

FREE HER

He clearly called Exosister Gamaciel.

This. I like control/midrange decks and I'm enjoying Melodious so I don't know what I want to make.

Oh oops. My fucking bad. I thought anon was using Lullaby against Exosisters. Lmao, nothing is ever going to save you from the hundreds of ez generic ways to remove the one and only boss monster you control. Please, Konami, give us a new form for Irene that protects Exosister monsters from tributes and destruction and a new main deck card that can easily end the board with said new monster and Magnifica

I'm really hoping we'll get the new Dragonmaid cards next month, I'm also waiting for Malice but apparently they won't come out until after Worlds.

kek freakin' w mate

He is Dante but without the charm and all of the douche.

Branded is the most fun to watch because no matter how many duels I see of it, I never know what the fuck they're gonna do.
ZERO linear combos.

they're going to mirrorjade pass

and to play

...

god i fucking hate generaider

Why do I get a shit free card and my opponent gets a god tier one?

never know what the fuck they're gonna do.

Mirrorjade, Bystial slop, Granguignol, and Light and Darkness Faglord

Retardo

sorry chud, it's my only deck that fills all 3 bonus conditions

Banish, Banish and summon, Special if you Special, 3 omni-negates
There. I simplified it for a retard like you to understand.

retardo still doesn't understand the difference between endboard/interactions, and actions taken to get there and play around the opponent's interactions

Post rank

Was there some secret play I was missing?

i wish he had a link-1

No. I won't waste anymore energy on a retard that doesn't know what brain dead branded does.

Goddamn, Goblins Fiendsmith is so fucking fun.
Highly recommend, nobody is ever ready for multiple XYZ attach removal resolutions.

LGS dropped YGO night a while back

this week they released a new schedule with YGO 3 days a week

Did something happen?

Turns out all the other games are just that much worse

Raye's anime saved YGO.

No

Goldshitter ashamed of his rank

GET LEAKIN

I'm always leakin something

I am talking about “20 yo” yugioh. Go watch some tournament gameplay of old formats like goat. It’s a sackfest. The problem with Yugioh is no inherent restriction to what you can add to your deck you end up every deck being piles of every best card of the format because they’re so generally good. The switch to archetypes hasn’t helped either.

Leak is Mimighoul

unfathomably based if true

What does it do?

Handtraps ruined yugioh and devolved its gameplay to being incredibly shallow.

Im glad archetype specific handtraps that are allowing turn 0 play are starting to pop up, but its probably never going to replace the exact same generic shit we've been runing for years now.

This game is only fun on extremely casual levels with a dogshit deck against a dogshit deck.

This game is only fun on extremely casual levels with a dogshit deck against a dogshit deck.

If your game requires turn 0 win by default due to getting correct cards for a combo or its over, your game is shit by default.

It summons flip monsters face down to the opponent's field. And their field spell floodgates the opponent from normal summoning if they control a face down. So they're forced to flip summon the monsters you gave them which all have mandatory negative flip effects.

Special summons guys face down on the opponent's field then quick effect flips them with Mimighoul Master to activate flip effects that ruin their board.
Unplayable unless it includes wave 2 (which I assume it will). Mimighoul throne is a hell of a card.

*kills mimighoul*

so droplet kills that shit deck

Gimmick Puppet forcing me to cheer for Snake-Eyes

Fucking cancer deck

it's a shit deck but it's MY shit deck

I agree. But at least then I can squint and pretend something different is happening rather than:

Ash/imperm/veiler the 1 card starter

pray they dont draw another one or anti-handtrap card

my turn

play MY 1 card starter

pray they do not have handtrap or that I have also drawn anti-handtrap

This is an utter slog and I do not like playing games like this even if I win. This feels like an overwhelming majority of masterduel gameplay, its not fun and it makes the deck your playing feel borderline irrelevant.

At the very fucking least, archetype specific handtraps allow for varied interaction. Arias setting traps to use as turn 0 interaction is way cooler than this shit.

Why do I like all these mid decks? Mimighoul, goblins, whatever else.

event is DC

pack is shit

how will MD compete?

Tounament is basically over.
Gimmick Puppet lost.

There should be like 3 turn win at maximum the lowest for card games, otherwise its just bullshit coinflip simulator. Its the worst in these games when they abuse the read slow-down timer button to waste a turn and there's nothing you can do about it. It ruined the fun of these games. They would do anything but get good at the game to play it.

They're good enough to be genuinely somewhat competitive rogue decks and they're some of the more interesting decks Konami has brewed recently. Goblin is full of layered interaction like attaches and quick effect rank-ups, and mimighoul has a genuinely unique gameplan that plays like nothing else. Beats doing a 20 minute White Forest combo.

Because if they were good enough to be tier 1 then you'd hate them from having to face them all the time.

They have more interesting theming and interactions compared to:

Anime girls underwater

Edgy Anime Kingdomhearts Guy whos is in every deck until you like it

Edgy Anime Waifu who was also in every deck and her pet dog that Konami will shill with another bloated super archetype spanning like 10 different names

Anime Reference: The Deck

Why are handrips still printed in 2025

Konami isn't brave enough to let a deck like Goblin Bikers be meta. They're not marketable enough

Because mid decks are the only decks that still play YGO in current year + 10.

talking as if goblin is not a part of LORE deck

Melodious will always be the most fun deck for me solely thanks to Etoile

literal only interaction in the engine

have to time it correctly to not die

but it also has some special tech because of the revival effect

bouncing key cards usually wins you the game

love it

Speaking to that anon's point, lore decks are tuned depending on how marketable they are. White Forest and Swordsoul are cool and lore essential, so they get to be tiered. Springans and Goblins are funny side characters, so they're rogue.

I'm teaching my daughter to play traptrix.
She thinks Sera is cute and wants her hair to be done like Sera's. :)

Because those decks are fun to pilot while feeling somewhat competitive.
Also because you almost never get punished with a handtrap on major chokepoint since no one else knows what your cards do.

Haha!

And yet the shilled cards that search and do everything dont list them.

Glorified packfiller that exist to be beat up by Marketabelstar or something I dont follow the lore.

That's actually pretty cute.

Genuinely how the fuck do people watch TeamSamuraiX1? I tried to watch his limited series with 3 pros but I couldn't get past his 50 iq yelling and babbling. Even his co-hosts passive aggressively hate him. Why is he popular?

What do you mean, anon? Don't you want to learn about THE #1 TOP TIER JOEY WHEELER RED-EYES DECK?

Get ready for Yoshida to get his grubby hands on loli Verre.

His solo stuff (deck guides) are much better.
Just watched his Yubel guide, which is the deck he won a YCS with:
youtube.com/watch?v=MPtpjQehZAc

When he collabs, he's trying to create fake drama and reactions.

You will run new mini-Droll and mini-Shifter on top of exisiting Droll and Shifter alongside Maxx C, Ash, and their mini-versions.
AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY!

Bystial still too much of a nigger deck.

bystial metalmorph is pretty sick though, recently discovered that deck

First it was the Sillva cancer

then it was Moulinglacia shit

Now it's her turn

and in two months it's hieratic + ryzeal turn to with Ouroboros

I hope you aren't too attached to your hand
that or hard open maxx c/fuwa every single time LMAO

I love bystiality

Is there any other metalmorph deck?

BANG!

Red-Eyes primite metalmorph (Although you can still play bystials). It searches both of your metalmorph engine pieces by looping black metal dragon

Metalmorph Dragonmaids

Interesting. Post deck.

metalzoa acting like deadnamer against monsters is actually good against BEprimite

I'm considering going heavier on the Metalmorph package with the Zoa's, but eh. Used to run Metal Claws Dragon but it's pretty bad unless you go HARD on the whole Metalmorph core. Nurse isn't great but not having access to a DM at the right time hurts.

mdm has 2 metalmorph decks. one is stupid one is useful. both use bystials red eyes and fiendsmith

He's getting a circular, which is arguably better since it means you can put out a body without having to commit your Normal Summon for the turn.
A link-1 wouldn't really do that much for the series because it's not really meant to be a stand alone archetype (as in Flame Swordsman wouldn't really have a good end board by itself), it's just an engine that's designed to have synergy with FIRE decks and give them a little bit more interruption plus the ability to easily put out an 8k plus beater with little commitment (especially since the new support gives you a way into the standard combo without committing your Normal Summon).

yeah it's just one of those decks that is plainly not fun to against, I'm even playing a deck that counters them but still didn't feel like playing when I matched with one

genderraider

It's up!

youtube.com/watch?v=DOR3DcJvs3M

Need her

Whoa hohoho! Anyways. Winter cherries respond?

good morning sir

I wonder why people like dragging suicide decks

I have never understood why YuGiOh players shit and piss their pants over handtraps. Do they really want to take turns seeing the other player combo for half an hour? I never see mtg players who bitch this hard about counter spells.

Don't want long combos either, don't strawman.

finally... Verre sexxe

maybe if they bitched more in general they wouldn't be casting spongebob right now (lol
they're domesticated cattle that gargle wotc balls

Because the game continously is molded around them. Cards have been worded because Ash is ran at 3 in 90%+ in most decks. Every new deck that is made to sell cant be allowed to buckle under a few well placed handtraps so they facilitate new crazy extenders meanwhile new crazier handtraps just single handedly shut down any deck older than three years old.

Because the game design has roped itself into such a shitshow that a counter spell like mechanic is pretty much impossible to get exactly right. Also, Magic has resource management in mana, imagine all counter spells running at 0 mana and that's how the mechanic works in YGO.

imagine all counter spells running at 0 mana

isn't that why people love that force of will spell?

The combo cards also cost 0 so it balances out.

force of will requires a discard
the strongest mtg handtrap would be unplayable garbage in ygo

So Herald of Orange Light.

NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER YOURE A NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER

The average YGO deck has more counter spells than an MtG deck has lands and none of them cost anything.

HOLY BASED

But enough about...hmm, what deck doesn't this apply for?

THE WITCHCRAFTER... THE WITCHCRAFTER MANGA IS REAL

handtraps are ygo's lands

At last I truly see.

They have to write entire new sentences on cards just so they dont get counter spelled. Thats how broken it is in this game.

Don't care still playing Volcanics

Burns you to death turn 1 on 1/2 LP squares

Nice deck RETARD lmao

And yet nearly every other 0 cost counterspell would be staples. Gush and the cards like it in particular would be a fucking nightmare.

it wont hopefully, I can't wait to jump ship to a marginally more fun game because master duel is fucking dogshit and it's only going to get worse

People complain about Yugioh powercreep but with Shadowverse it literally killed the game and they had to make Shadowverse 2, you better hope they learned their lesson or it will happen again.

you have fun at first playing decks you like then realize everything revolves around a meta game of what new cards are going to be broken

MD is a good simulator in general, but grinding meta sweats in ranked is the most soul draining shit.

Make the new thread when this one hits bump limit

Handtraps have an uncomfortable curve to them.
They are a bandaid over the gaping design wound that is "if your opponent goes interrupted T1, you lose". They -have- to exist or the second player will not ever be able to do anything about it.
In a setting where you could pass on a normal set and 2 backrow and not immediately die, they would be fine. But now you have a situation where konami needs powercreep to sell packs so there is an increasing number of decks that can power through handtraps while anything older or that doesn't receive Konami's blessings will still be fucked by a well timed imperm.

I like shadoba but you're retarded if you think WB will last more than a couple years.

Will they finally get a way to summon their fusion monster that doesnt involve praying out-of-engine jank doesn't brick you or going hard -3 with a god hand?

Give the game summoning sickness after 10 summons but instead of not attacking you start either losing LP( like 500 or 1000 per extra summon) or you start discarding random cards

You guys don't want it. Trust me.

that probably enables even more ftks

You're gonna lose to my bara dragon deck playing this twink.

How so?

Give the game summoning sickness after 10 summons

Beating your opponent's face in isn't even the point of endboards anymore, it's to negate everything you do and choke you out of card advantage. That's why almost every deck doesn't take the maxx c challenge, the 8+ cards you give your opponent will likely be enable them to extend beyond what you're able to negate.

And then Konami prints an archetype that makes you draw and or gain LP every time you special summon to play through it.
No matter what retarded gimmick you come up with to balance YGO it's one set away from Konami printing a deck that ignores it and us being back exactly where we started.
(You) cannot fix YGO.
Only Konami can decide to fix YGO by not printing more retarded cards. Anything that isn't changing how they fundamentally design cards is just a hurdle for them to design the same nonsense cards around.

Troonbel

Chaining to DRNM

Judge

But it would fix the current problem we have rn for a long time.

Yu-Gi-Oh has rebooted 6 times now. Each time powercreeping further.

Typical metaslop board

The real blackpill is that YGO was dying until they made link climb decks that combo for 15 minutes and for some reason the number of players exploded so now Konami knows that COOOOOOOOMBO players are the only players worth pandering to and they will print these decks until the company collapses.

It dropped out of the top 3 and lost to One Piece. That has literally never happened before.

Unfortunately that isn't true since they're constantly shilling boomer shit that I as a combofag couldn't give less of a fuck about.

Its also been 5 years without an anime.

new thread

And what do you call this?

Garbage

Not Yugioh although it does have sexy characters.

Just like everything after Duel Monsters.

It says Yu-Gi-Oh right there.

An anime isnt going to save the garbage that this game has become. It'll have the same effect as Master Duel, a rise in interest only to plummet over newcomers/returning players realizing that this game is irredeemable trash.

Master Duel has arguably done more damage to the game than good.
Its revealed just how bad the new player experience is, advertising with shit like BEWD and DM isn't helping.

People vaugely interested in this game will download MD, as the most available way to play it, play their first game and run into a 15 minute combo jerkoff deck in fucking bronze then quit.

I accept your concession.
