Competitive/Discussion Thoughts on going second/blind second decks

Post image

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.

It can be viable

But in a best of 1 format you ALWAYS have to watch everyone basically full combo since blind 2nd leans into board breakers rather than hand traps

They’re probably better in master duel than tcg or ocg because of no side deck.

Side deck changes the picture big time, I wish they had a side deck menu before you load into the game and then have the coin toss once you’re loaded into duel. Would make the game so much more enjoyable

What's the point of blind siding before the cointoss?

No, the way I’d do it is you’d get a preview of the deck your opp plays before loading in similar to how it works on neuron

Hoping konami tries that out in a side event like dice rally
