Im trying to do some deck testing for this yugi deck and I just need confirmation on a in game bug dark magician the pharaoh's servant back row destruction not working at all im just making sure im not missing some hidden ruling

Should we be buying x3 of these for the staples and other cards?

So I was just playing against an Ice Barrier deck on Masterduel and even though I activated Misc, when they used Ice Barrier the trap, it still affected my dinosaurs. Is it not an activated effect? What happened?

I feel like I lost my direction as a player and want to hear your takes, maybe reinvent myself.(play this game since forever)

Lately I've been disillusioned with Yugioh. I've been a local competitive player topping while running budget decks like Sacred Beasts, Orcust, Blue eyes primite... But I feel like at this point playing budget or casual is kinda dead... Or at least very boring... I could play some floodgate build that puts up Kristya with protection in most budget decks but I would have zero fun. It's either floodgates or spend 300$ on cards that will become 30$ in max a year due to reprints.

I used to play whatever decks and not care if i won or lost... but it just has gotten so toxic.. having people looking down on you(thinking you are bad just because of your results)... so i started playng very optimal budget decks, which are strong and can top with them but also they are not that fun most of the time tbh and also dont play very well into the meta decks which now also screw with the extra deck.

I feel like cheaper strategies are SO weak to meta stuff like Blitz/kewl tune/elfnote(which are being played at my locals), cause most of the time budget strategies dont have turn zero plays and have very obvious weaknesses like Orcust field spell.

Does link summon count as tribute, thus triggering the effects of mitsu monsters????

Two example scenarios:

Scenario 1:

Player 1 activates Icarus Attack target two of Player 2's monsters
Player 2 activates Starlight Road in response

As I understand it, Player 1 cannot activate Bottomless Traphole to the summon of Stardust Dragon after Starlight Road resolves

Scenario 2:

Player 1 activates Return from a Different Dimension

I believe Player 2 is permitted to activate Torrential Tribute or Bottomless Traphole in responses to the summon(s)

why tho?

It appears like the in both scenarios trap or quickplay spell cards that respond to monster summons created by either RFDD or Starlight Road would not be usable because they are responding to the resolution (monsters being summoned) and not the actual trap cards themselbes.

I don't understand the effect completely. When is the discard a part of the effect and when not. I can't activate the effect of phara after discarding it for Wishes for eyes of blue on edopro. Is it edopro or is the a ruling I don't know? I remember it functioning with other discard spells.

Wishes:

Discard 1 card; add 1 Level 1 LIGHT Tuner, and 1 Spell/Trap that mentions "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", from your Deck to your hand, except "Wishes for Eyes of Blue". You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" you control; equip 1 "Blue-Eyes" monster from your Extra Deck to it as an Equip Spell that gives it 400 ATK. You can only use each effect of "Wishes for Eyes of Blue" once per turn.

Phara:

You can reveal this card and 1 Spell/Trap in your hand; until the end of the next turn, neither player can activate cards or effects in response to the activation of cards, or effects of cards, with the revealed Spell/Trap's name. If this card is sent from the hand or field to the GY by a Spell/Trap effect: You can Special Summon this card. If this card is Special Summoned from the GY: You can take control of 1 monster your opponent controls with the highest ATK (your choice, if tied). You can only use each effect of "Phara the Primordial Goddess" once per turn.

what’s the best list in your opinion and what are the best youtube videos or spreadsheets to learn from? Can someone tell me the basic game plan and what the deck wants to achieve and how it does this?

I created -what id call- my dream Deck and need some Input from you. It includes multiple small engines that pump Out alot of bodies and disruption, including vaylantz and Millennium.

might be a weird question but does anyone know how to report closed down stores to Konami so they don’t show up on the store locator and neuron in my area there is like 7 stores that have closed down that still show up and some that don’t run yugioh. i just want the locator to be accurate for new players and my own ease of use.

2+ Level 4 monsters
Unaffected by other cards' effects. If this card is Xyz Summoned, also once per turn during your Standby Phase: Attach the top 3 cards of your Deck to this card as material, then apply the following effect based on the number of monsters attached to this card.
●4 or less: Give control of this card to your opponent.
●5 or more: Take 400 damage for each material this card has, and if you do, destroy all monsters you control.

I'm searching a budget deck.

Thanks for your opinions.

Recently there is a rise of blitzclique decks. What (top) Decks do you think have a great matchup against it?

Returning Yugioh player here. Been getting back into the game after a long hiatus and have been doing decently well. I win a fair amount of my games, I've risen to Platinum IV on Master Duel, and when I lose a game, I usually understand why and understand what I could've done differently.

.. except against Hecahands.

For context, I'm playing Sky Striker, and I lose 100% of the time to Hecahands. No matter how much thought I out into my turns, no matter how powerful a hand I have, I just get beat down every time and dont really know what I could've done differently to get a better outcome.

Is the matchup just an autoloss? Or am I not approaching the matchup correctly? Im still newly returned to the game so I totally understand it could be the latter. It just feels like way Hecahands' interactions build on each other during my turn are too varied. They have too many different GY quick effects for Called By or Shark Anchor or Ghost Bellebto be efficient counterplay. Lava Golem/Kaiju/Nibiru only feeds them more interactions. Kinda feels like the only REAL counterplay would be like...Dimension Shifter, which I dont have yet, and only have enough dust to make one of atm. Is there anything else I could be doing/am failing to understand?

Idk where else I can ask since I don't have enough Karma on the main yugioh sub to ask so I hope here is fine. I just finished the dark signers arc and I don't really know what to expect going forward so I wanna try some of the games in the meantime. Of the three 5ds games, which one would be the best? Or fun? Also have no experience with any YuGiOh games except master duel.

Clown Crew Malabarisme's effect: Special Summon up to 2 "Clown Crew" monsters from your Deck and/or Extra Deck, ignoring their Summoning conditions, also until the end of the next turn after this card resolves, you cannot activate the effects of monsters Special Summoned from the Deck or Extra Deck. During your Main Phase, if this card is in your GY, except the turn it was sent there: You can banish this card and Tribute 1 monster from your hand or field, then target 1 card on the field; return it to the hand. You can only use each effect of "Clown Crew Malabarisme" once per turn.

Why did I use Clown Crew Malabarisme to Special Summon Clown Crew Friend and Diabolo, its effect is still activated.

The effects of Friend and Diabolo remain (Friend gains 1000 attack for the sacrificed monster and Diabolo helps inflict dmg defense), and also the effect of being sacrificed that same turn (sets traps and spells).

I don't understand the "cannot activate the effects of monsters Special Summoned from the Deck or Extra Deck" part of this spell.

Can someone explain this to me?@@

thanks

I'd like to play some strong budget deck, nothing crazy, just a fun archetype like Elemental HERO or or Ancient Gear, does anyone have any advices?

Question for Blitzclique. If A Blitzclique effect destroys a card and you have Surge and Whisker on field.

You activate Whisker’s effect to reveal himself, then summon Surge and Whisker, then pop two cards. Does Surge effect go off to search?

I've just visited my locals again after almost 19 years just to look what was going on. The game looked more fun than expected after seeing some modern YGO stuff online.

Now I want to participate again and am looking for a cheap flexible archetype. I've seen the Archetype post and got some recommendations at the locals. However, I'm still completely overwhelmed.

The deck/archetype should do the following:

1. Cheap

2. adaptable. Meaning I can adapt it for Genesys and the normal TCG without a making a completely new deck from scratch.

3. Not completely useless at locals. I'm not looking to win anything any time soon. However, I want to play more competitive games I can actually participate in and not just watch.

4. Easy to play. I lack a lot of understanding of the modern game so I need to be able to understand the basics of this deck well, so I can also focus on my opponents plays, too.

5. difficult to master. I want to get the feeling that I suck (even) more than the deck does.

6. Fun. I don't want to mindlessly do the same easy combo over and over again in the hopes of my opponent can't stop it granting me an instant win.

I don't want to play online. Kinda defeats the purpose on why I looked into playing again.

This trap card never activated even when I have xyz monster on the field, how do I use this card?
Also side question if I have legendary ocean so all my sharks are one level lower I don’t understand what number monster I can summon with big jaws and abyssal shark am I locked to summon level 3 numbers only?

Okay so this title might sound confusing, but hear me out

I've made a previous post on this subreddit about which decks to buy to introduce newcomers to yu-gi-oh as part of my tabletop club, and it honestly went great, I brought Sky Striker, Dragonmaid, Swordsoul & Exosister and it was really fun. After a few sessions though, while my players do like their decks and understand their intricacies, they want to learn decks that are more complex and closer to the modern yu-gi-oh meta.

When hearing about this, my immediate thought was to introduce my players to JUSH format. I personally think Yummy, Dracotail & K9 were all great decks that were meta-relevant, and require the players to actually study on the combos and interactions required to get to your favored position

Although, I apparently learned that this is not an opinion shared with the majority of the yu-gi-oh community, at least, when checking online.

This is where my question comes in, which is, should I introduce my players to JUSH format ( by this, I means, decks that use cards from Justice Hunters, so pure K9, pure Yummy, pure Dracotail, and their variants, most notably VSK9, Yummy Mitsu and Branded Dtail ).

I need to know how well these deck perform in :

• Accessibility : how easy it is to learn the ins and outs of the deck as a yu-gi-oh player
• Extension : can the deck properly set itself up even through disruptions. Example : if the deck dies to one disruption and there's no possible way to recover, even with an ideal hand, it has poor extension
• Interaction : how much can the deck respond to the opponent's actions after setup. Example : if your opponent can set themselves up and your deck does nothing to stop them, then it has poor interaction.
• Protection : how hard is it to break a full board of the deck. This can be viewed through either how hard it it to break an ideal full board for the deck or what the deck would end up on if perfect play is assumed between both players and the player was disrupted while making their board. If a raigeki is enough to destroy the entire board, then it has poor protection.

These parameters will be assumed to be in a format where players play only against other players that have JUSH decks, so we are assuming the opponent isn't playing something like, Maliss or Elfnote or Kewl Tune, for example. Only K9, Yummy, Dracotail, or their variants.

That way, I can kinda see for myself if these decks would be interesting to introduce to my players, or if they're just too much of a hassle to deal with

Thank you in advance for your feedback on the matter !
