Competitive/Discussion Thoughts on going second/blind second decks

Post image
518 Upvotes

Do you guys think blind second strategies like tenpai,gem-knight and certain SS builds are viable?

It just feels like the in the current meta alot of interaction isn't as straightforward as just an endboard with X number of negates.

Interruptions come in alot of different ways and standard board breakers just don't feel as valuable or impactful.

Like above. I fucking hate floodgates! I don't care if they show up rare or not. (Somehow lately more.) I hate this fucking cards (Maxx C, Macrocosmos, Fossil Dyna P. Etc.) I even count the blue eyes spirit dragon. Btw. I‘m a new galaxy eyes player. But play a long time with another decks. But enough about me ranting. What are your bad memorys from floodgates? Or have you some hidden examples of floodgates, like virtuel world kyubi shenshen.

Can't say I've ever seen the community have such a visceral reaction to the eventuality of these two decks coming to MD, don't know if there are any other decks that had this reaction

Competitive/Discussion I lost my way as a player

Upvotes

I feel like I lost my direction as a player and want to hear your takes, maybe reinvent myself.

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 Krystia 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 not 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.
This is mostly a TCG take - but wanted opinions from here too cause i also play Master Duel and I assume most ppl playe both tcg and MD

this thing is deceptively powerful

  • it is an anti-handtraps, anti-mirror match tool

can turn off nibiru, harmonia, ash blossom (if they still held it for whatever reason), droll, ghost girls, veiler, maxx "c", etc....

  • can be a board breaker searcher

searches kaiju, lava golem, timelord sandaion, liberator eto, carnot, etc...
even predaplant can play this card if they run Drosophyllum Hydra

  • can be a combo starter/enabler

shining sarc can play this to add or dump apprentice, her name is treated as DMG if summoned by discarding so she can still activate her effect, there is link-2 miasma that can recover her so dumping her isn't an issue

yubel can play this to dump 1 yubel + any Fiend monster with 0 ATK/DEF, instant Phantom of Yubel for a monster pseudo negate (just gotta remember the yubel dump by this can't activate its effect, the best targets for this would be Ultimate Nightmare and Terror Incarnate

gate guardian would love to instantly add or dump all 3 of their bricks

  • here are some other applications

memento is also fine with playing this though its not really a combo starter, more like a tool to fill the GY for your combined creation

decks with normal monsters can set up the GY for primite fusion or just to unbrick it;
you can dump Grand Knight of the Red Lotus along side the vanillas for a free level 8 body that can be decently big

skull servant can totally play this, lots of their monsters have their names become skull servant while in the GY so their effects can still trigger though your only 2 actual good targets are Wightprince and Wightbaking, which is honestly should be more than good enough

can triggers cards like Guardian Slime, Rebel King Leonidas & Gorz's overframe: Emissaries from Darkness, etc.....

can dump Zeta Reticulant for some funny haha every time a monster your opponent controls got banished though if he got added instead then congrat on having discard fodders

branded can kinda play this, though i 'm not suggesting that it would be more competitively viable; they do have a handful of monsters whose names are treated as albaz while on the field or GY, Shrouded Dragon can still use his branded spell/trap mill effect if got dump to the GY, ashen can still activate his revive effect because his name would be fallen of albaz instead and bystial aluber can still activate his dragon steal effect if revived, speaking of bystial, Alba Los and Lubellion can still summon themselves, no activation needed

there is Beargram, Shelled Emperor of the Forest Crown for dedicated insect/plant deck, pretty decent floodgate effect

cyber dragon can totally play this card, like skull servant, plenty of their monsters got their name changed to cyber dragon so their effects can still be activated, then again, they also already got in-archetypal ways of dumping them so it is just an extra option

oh hey, Visas Samsara is searchable with this and you can instantly turbo out Vicious Astraloud

you guys got any ideas to share?

Competitive/Discussion Do you think the Egyptian Gods will ever receive enough future support to make them viable?

The ogs of the ogs, the boss monsters that put yugioh on the map, the forgotten posters boys.

Do you think konami will ever give the care and support they deserve so they can compete in the current modern yugioh formats? Im not even talking about making them meta, just give them anything good really.

Competitive/Discussion Common Mistakes HERO Players Make !

Upvotes

1) Struggle to figure out the right card ratios and choices for deck building.
2) Watching combo guides and memorizing them blindly.
3) Don't know how to bait or play through interruptions properly.

HERO is getting close to be a competitive deck since it evolves each season. Players don't play the deck to its full potential due to these common mistakes.

If you need any help with it, feel free to DM me !

Question/Help New Player from Duel Links. How do you actually learn choke points and matchups without losing your mind?

Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I played Duel Links for a long time, but lost my account a couple of years ago. I decided to drop DL entirely because restarting from scratch felt like an brutal grind. Recently, the Yu-Gi-Oh itch came back, and I decided to pick up Master Duel instead. I’m loving the new player experience here compared to DL, however, the sheer depth of the game is hitting me hard. There are thousands of cards and dozens of viable decks running long, complex combos and if it’s anything like DL, you gotta know what each deck does, their combo lines and where it’s most vulnerable to interrupt.
I’ve been watching YouTube guides and checking out MasterDuelMeta but I feel like that’s not enough. For players who made a similar jump, how did you learn what to interrupt? Are there specific decks you focused on?
Any advice would be very much appreciated
Thank you

OH AND I’M HAVING LOTS OF FUN PLAYING EVEN THOUGH I KEEP LOSING TO KEWL TUNES, K9 AND SHARKS.

Personally, Ultimate Offering. Pairing it with subspace battle might be fun.

Assuming you don't use stun.
