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

this

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/

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

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.

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?

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.

Is this Loss?

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 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
The big chimera boss slamming into your stupid teartranny card 3 times for game is incredible

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

Capture.png - 367x441, 193.42K

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.

Same here, Anon.

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.

one post per 500+ reply general

rawr autistic!!!!

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.

why do dragons lust over duelist men

copypaste

Ritual posting is autism

at least in Master Duel

They're powercrept in the normal game too, a ton of floodgates are hit. Towers strategies that actually happen to win are because of some external factor like Purrely drawing into 4 handtraps with Sleepy Memory.

Everything has been autism to newfags since 2011.

gaylord

Why did Konami get Accel Stardust and Scarred's effects backwards?

Jack cards are themed around the past (Graveyard)

Yusei cards are themed around the future (Deck/Extra Deck)

the RDA retrain specials RDA from the Extra Deck

the Stardust retrain specials a tuner from the Graveyard

You would think with Red Rising and Shooting Riser working on theme the retrains would be right too, it's like they didn't watch the show

You can get 20 extra free gems from the survey by doing it in Japanese, even if you already did it in English:

youtube.com/watch?v=37jaxaXs2Bk

Obssessing over "what is and isn't newfag" is autism.

Now say the same with any archetype pre ~2018

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Stun fags get fucked.

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.

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

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.

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.
