any idea for a good and relatively cheap deck to craft for synchro
i have exodia/artmage for fusion and @ignister/marincess for link, but i just noticed i have exactly nothing that's pure synchro
centur-ion and punk just a tad bit too expensive
speedroid without eldam/swen into rbs is meh
is rda good enough to play in this event with exodia and @ignister bs running around

The best and most soulful event this game ever had was the limit 1 festival
No restrictions on card types or archetypes, everyone was running around with mishmash creative decks instead of netdecked chink hyperefficient bullshit, no one deck could manage to be particularly consistent so every duel was different and fresh
The best time I've ever had was the limit one festival, I still keep my deck from back then saved

Depends entirely on the matchup. For example Crackle is insane against Maliss, Yummy and Orcust. You want to summon Crackle against decks that you know only play guaranteed 1-ofs in their ed, and the deck doesn't function or is severely crippled by removing them

You either are a chink or you aren't, simple as
Only ever made it to master once, I've played a bunch of super meta tier 1 decks according to HIS website but when the game needs to fuck you over it fucks you over
Like I watch tourneys sometimes and those niggas just have destiny shuffler you can literally play the exact same deck card by card but somehow they always open perfect ratios of handtraps and starters and always have the out that ain't normal when you only ever see dogshit hands when trying to imitate them
Like these niggas can play triple lava golem and somehow only ever see it when they need it, I do that shit and suddenly all my opponents get comfy summoning 1 monster
>>
>>563617796
sounds like you don't even need to spend those gems if you didn't want to

I cannot fucking stand Tearlaments and their badly designed cards. Fuck Ishizu too. And fuck Gem Knights for fusing with them properly. Every card they have is designed to plus and mill no matter what happens. I fought one that searched the damn maindeck heralds. I have a deck full of destroying backrow cards and their damn OP ass cards fucking dare plus from it. And to make things worse, they shove in fiendsmith into the mix. They are slop incarnate and desperately need erratas. Make me feel rewarded for breaking their shit instead of added more cards to their hand. Cause even when I win, I don’t feel rewarded at all from it.
>>
>>563629862
But anon don't you know they're some of the most interactive cards in the game that require high skill to pilot, all you have to do is play a deck which can also play on turn 0 and plus off every single card in your and your opponent's deck
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>563625564
If you play radiant typhoon, you would realize they have the draw spell because it’s supposed to play around the ever annoying droll and lock bird and their bosses are locked behind the main deck, including that unsearchable one. Maliss and Dracotail is a deck that always needs cards in the card for the spells to do anything. Maliss quite literally has it for no reason besides making them meta. I would argue you could straight up erase the draw effects and the deck would do just fine.

The psy frames cards are pretty good, but I took them out because I didn't like bricking on driver. I'm running a heavier ghost girl package and they're good. But you just have to be aware of the levels since you won't be making 4 as often with them. I still do prefer that tradeoff. But I'm really thinking of switching to some board breakers like S Poly because of the mirror. Its absolutely miserable

I think Branded is on the stage of being designed more like Radiant Typhoon, especially when you look at the effects of Gung-ho, Fallen of the white dragon, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon. We have a lot of the Deck and GY searching and cycling going on.

Turn 0 plays with Clip aren't as strong as DT/K9
and it's the only main deck KT name that doesn't extend. Basically it's nice to have in your turn 2 for extra plays, but you don't really want to see it in your starting hand

>>563649384
unlike faimena you don't get to fuse anything you have in hand, and sometimes you get awkward hands where you have one handtrap and any number of rotaries and/or backrow, in which case Clip can't do anything without sacrificing your only disruption. Veiler + Clip also can't synch into anything.

Yeah, it's nothing new. But you're not combining Sky Striker with RT, you just using the Vision spell to abuse the draws and dump spells in the GY.
The RT package also works in other decks like Tenpai and Malice

Turns out Fiendsmith is the best when played pure since you can just fit billion handtraps and it by itself does enough to beat an opponent, also it makes me hate it much less when it's played like an actual deck and not a slop engine
>>
>>
>>563665206
Slap a primite engine in there. Easy access to dipity for your fiensdmith combo. A stronger normal summon in Ether Barrel. and you sill have a shit ton of space for one more side engine or more hand traps, and access to spheres and Barone. The primite stuff really just makes it much more resilient in my experience
>>
>>
>>
>>563665206
This deck has 7 "starters", and you can't really use 2 handtraps to go into Moon since they don't summon themselves (heck, why even play Moon in this deck at all?).
You are using "engine fiendsmith" ratios. Surely you want to either play more copies of Tract, or that one Fiendsmith spell that summons tokens?

their interactions are kinda weird, having to time your synchros properly to trigger the gy effects at the right time.
only RS and Zalen are straightforward negate.

New toon support that will come in 8 months has blink and can dodge super poly.
The game lost 33% of it's playerbase since last year because of retarded card design choices at studio dice and konami.
Take a wild guess.

Here's how I would fix KT to make it less frustrating
>Remove Rotary eff to look at hand, only adds a spell
>Cue's gy eff becomes "excavate 2 cards from your opponent's deck, place 1 card on the top and the other on the bottom"
>Clip's gy eff becomes "draw 1 card"
>Crackle's eff becomes "banish this card and 1 monster your opponent controls until the end of this turn"
>KT Synchro can only quick synch if your opponent controls a monster
>Remove RS and B2B level modulation crap
There.

>>563709551
John Konami doesn't care about your suggestion.
They designed these cards exactly like they wanted them to be, why do you people(you and plebbit) always assume they come up with these cards on "accident".
"Oh this card can floodgate / is annoying to play against, I'm sure it was on PURE accident that that card can do X / Floodgate /interacts with deck X like that / powercreeps deck to death."
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>563709863
Yes I know Konami makes them like that on purpose, doesn't make it less frustrating to play against.
KT has cool concept and playstyle. Turn 1 is fast, can't be slopped in anything else, only 2 negate one of them being Zalen that you can play around. It just annoys me that they included these frustrating things in the deck that make it really miserable to play against.

>The game lost 33% of it's playerbase since last year because of retarded card design choices at studio dice and konami.
It was because of Maliss. That deck unironically nearly killed the game and forced Konami to finally ban Apo.

>>563709949
The UR tax on new players is obscene and one of the game's biggest flaws. I've always said new players should start their account with a basic handtrap starter kit, and be able to earn generic staple URs in special solo modes. UR points should be going towards deck building, not cards you need to functionally play the game.

How to play KT 101:
>Make the level 4 synchro first. Always your main goal
>your end board is usually Remix, a body that can synchro summon from your hand, any number of Kewl Tune Synchro. If you see Called By the Grave or Belle in their hand, make RS instead if you don't have a way to stop them.
>On your opponents turn you'll use your interruptions as needed, but the big thing to remember is to have at least one body on the field that can synchro summon from hand, and to keep track of the levels of monsters both on the hand and field
>Zalen is both an interruption and a bridge to Back 2 Back
>Clip is an extender primarily and it is not a very good T0 play most of the time
>Crackle is also not the best T0 play either and is very matchup dependent. Better when your field is already set up
The deck is otherwise really easy to set up. The harder part is using your interruptions efficiently.
>>
>>563715486
maliss is the biggest offender but the game really has a problem with floodgates and too many games just being unwinnable.
and sometimes it really feels like konami just does not have any desire to fix, maybe it makes them money to keep the game broken but there has to be a limit when you lose so many players so fast.
>>
>>563716571
It really makes me wish we could get design docs and blogs to see what's going on when they design some of these cards. I get the feeling that they include floodgates in order to give diversity to the game, but the way they go about it is just so overly restrictive. It makes me wonder why they don't just make more tax effects like Murakumo's negate or burning if your opponent does a thing if they want some sort of lock down. And I also think thay the extra deck ripping is their spin on a discard type effect since actual discards in yugioh are very punishing.

I'm so fucking sick of how SLOW these combo decks are, you literally don't ever play the game. You watch your opponent play, then he watches you play, then one of you surrenders
I don't understand how braindead or autistic you have to be to enjoy doing these 30 card comboslop flowchart sequences Every. Fucking. Duel. Do these people not get bored? Do they not want to pry their fingernails off with a screwdriver? It's fucking preposterous and miserable to play against

All they had to do was make it so that new design philosophy was "constant, non-stop interaction" where basically both turns become our turn. This game would be so much more fun if it became essentially a race to see who can build their board first while trying to stop the other from doing so, instead of

>Maliss
No, it wasn't because Maliss. It could have been because of any deck.
The true reason? KONAMI REFUSING TO BALANCE THE GAME WITH PROPER BANLISTS.
Maliss was a SYMPTON; not the cause.
Assume an alternative universe exists, lets also assume they quickly gutted Maliss there but then did everything after the same way it happened in our universe.
Guess what would happen? PLAYERS WOULD STILL DROP. <<<< If you disagree with this point you are delusional
>>
>>563732557
I can confidently say that down the line the playerbase would still quickly drop there on 2026, just like what happened to us. Because Maliss was already out of the equation until Radiant Typhoon came and players still dropped.
>>
>>563715486
You could play other decks and maindeck lancea to deal with Maliss, you had Apo for rogue decks. Now rogue decks get fucked and there is no silver bullet to save you from post dracotail decks, which is why the playerbase is dying, not because of Maliss

Even fusion man himself is not free of that these days, Konami really has some weird thing about fusion decks.
>>
>>563740495
I guess the mentality for Fusions is that you have to dedicate a card to getting them out (usually) so having other types to go into is good design so you're not locked out of anything if you get interrupted, but it also makes events like this where they fully lock you into one type actually really frustrating because of it

They fixed that all the way back with neo spacians just use contact fusion and stop forcing links.
>>
>>563740495
a lot of the random links in non link archetypes are a result of master rule 4 when all extra deck mechanics were overly kneecaped for no reason.
the random links appear less often in archetypes designed after that period.

Not that anon, but as I've said before: Maliss was not the primary cause.
The cause was, and still is: shitty balancing choices.
Not denying that Maliss was powerful, but the problem were the banlists, or lack of thereof.
Again, if you replaced Maliss with another deck, the playerbase would still drop down the line if they kept the same ass banlist philosophy.
Konami should've focused on monetization using paid-gems-exclusive cosmetics so they could made actual good banlists and balance the game.
Time limited DMG mate for paypiggies only + actually balanced game would've been so much better.
>>
>>
>>563736304
>>563742230
For further clarification. The playerbase is still slowly dropping, temporarily going up only because special promotions and events like anniversary etc. right?
Why is that? You will amost certainly reach a answer that can be summed to: "the game is shit because its unbalanced".
And I don't even have Maliss, I'm a sunny, upright and honest Exodia Fiendsmith player (I also like playing Yubel and Odion but that's besides the point).
>>
Are more people actually quitting over Dracotail than quit over Maliss? It's a cancer deck for sure but nowhere near on the level of Maliss. Dracotail at least respects your time, doesn't force you to run a shitty handtrap just to have a shot against it, and isn't the only playable deck in the format.

Could've worked as a card to tie WC, Magistus and Invoked better.
(Endymion not included, Magistus is used instead because Endymion is simply his own thing with spell counters, and it'd be hard to tie it together with the other archetype's systems unless it was a broken CAC card).

I'm going to be completely honest but custom banlist the event is really starting to piss me off. What's even the point of this game? You either play ranked which is fine but gets too stressful at anything above plat. Or you play events with a SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE BALANCING where it's a dice roll if you even have a FUCKING DECENT DECK to play with.
I think I'm actually getting tired of this game.

Keep in mind every month there will be a new pack released, some more meta defining that others.
Usually you run into a deck on ladder that absolutely dismantle your's and you want to play it but I recommend to buy staples first.
>>
>>563755249
Go watch replays for your deck and learn about its capabilities, alternate lines, or how to play around certain situations
Go through every meta and commonly used deck one by one and build them in the sims and test them out against ai or real people, learn their lines and how to disrupt them or break their boards, their strengths and weaknesses, etc. There are a lot of decks so this can be a gradual process. The end goal is to be able to try and anticipate what your opponent will do so you can play around it, or build up enough of a knowledge base to respond to common situations.

>>563758523
>too many archetypes to choose from and most are unviable anyway
just how it is
>very rare to see anyone use a single summoning mechanic
most decks will focus on one ED type and have a few 'out of mechanic' staples they can flex into, some hard restrict you to one type, some use every mechanic, and some decks don't use the ED at all
it all depends on the archetype
>very rare to see... a single archetype
an unfortunate effect of power creep, several archetypes can be condensed into 'engines' that take up a chunk of your deck to do a certain thing/summon a certain monster while also bridging into/from your 'main strategy'
>constantly relearn new decks
he over exaggerated a bit, you only have to constantly shift decks if you're always on the bleeding edge metaslop cycle
most of the time you'll only have to shift a few things around every few months with new releases/banlists, it's rare for them to ban entire strategies in Master Duel
>>
>>
>>563758523
>Speaking of, when I take a look at you guys' decks it's very rare to see anyone use a single summoning mechanic or a single archetype,
This is a competition of war, everything is allowed and gets optimized to obliterate your Opponent, no mercy shown.
And if X card from Deck Y can be played in my deck and makes it stronger and I can summon it easily, why shouldn't I abuse it?
Except if you're a card racists/purest and want to play your deck with only with a certain summon mechanic, which you can also do but you will have to play more games to climb.
>So you basically have to constantly adapt and relearn new decks in order to stay competitive?
Yes and no.
If you pick a deck that has any card on the banlist or did just came off the list it most certainly won't get hit again and is considered a non-threat to the current meta, for example Fire King was meta in 2024 and is unlimited, it won't get hit until it may get new support or it cards get abused by a new archetype in the future.
>have to constantly adapt
Yes you have to constantly adopt to a changing meta, decks will play differently, have different choke points with new cards.

I didn't realize that... I'll start telling new players it takes 6 months to be able to do the bare minimum of netdeck a metaslop pile and follow a guide to encourage them!

Nice reading comprehension retard. I didn't say Yugioh/Master Duel is easy, I said it's not comparable to League, a multiplayer MOBA with damn near 200 unique champions on top of all the other mechanics you need to master in order to climb.
>people like you are the reason the game doesn't get new players
>not the abysmal tutorial, egregious UR tax, complete and utter lack of direction given to new players, and the overall decline of yugioh itself
yeah sure bro, lmao.

loving the loaner ice barrier deck
seeing my opponent be confused as fuck why they can only set spells and not trigger spells from the graveyard and even getting discard taxed
Maybe I will consider making my own ice barrier deck when another of these kind of events comes around

Oh so you're bigbrained player huh? All theory but no practice?
I COULD BE MASTER but choose not to be because it's too much work but I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND EVERY MATCH UP AND INTERACTION MY DECK HAS WITH THE OPPONENT'S, IM ONLY GOLD 5 BECAUSE MY OPP CHEATS!
You're a beginner until you hit Master 5 and only a basic understanding of the game and deck building, anything else is cope.
ESPECIALLY when you're new to yugioh.

League of legend isn't hard because of his 200 champions (with only 4 spells, most pretty straightforward). Its hard because you have 4 teammates like you.

Not warning people that they're going to be shit for years just because they don't know most retarded lawyers rules and card is sabotage, indeed.

uh you really don't need to and some decks are VERY fucking linear too. You can mainly use this https://ygocounter.com/wiki/Main_Page but who cares if you queue online and block the wrong thing. everything is learning, you're going to make mistakes. it's not like if you lose you just instantly fucking die.

If you don't invest a few hours every day learning these things and practicing it, you won't make it far.
There is a reason why plebbitors need years to reach Dia 5 WITH meta decks, your average MD player isn't fucking Master 5.

I was challenger in S3 (in 3v3) and diamond even in S2 (with rumble mid). I know what I'm talking about, LoL isn't hard, you just need to push your advantage and most importantly handle your retarded mates.
I honestly think YGO is way harder for multiple reason.

Okay Mr. konami approved judge here's your cookie and your medallion for memorizing every single ruling in the game including the ones which haven't been made yet

It's what you said in the same way that your spergout is what I said
>>563761181
but you're not going to be shit for years
that's an insane amount of time
it might take years to get to Master 1 but it's not a switch that gets flipped between skilled and unskilled

I absolutely do not believe that the post with a retarded reaction image agreeing with and doubling down on everything he said is an actual post made by a real person
A sarcastic post that I misunderstood, maybe

real talk, how long did it take anons here to learn the ropes?
for me it was
>watched the anime back in the day
>got into duel links a bit after it came out
>remember running around with some wacky deck using the atmosphere and desert twister, had no idea what i was doing
>eventually built a relinquished deck and became obsessed with rituals
>also built rikka and became obsessed with waifus
>worked out perfectly since i could use alexis to play rituals and aki to play plants for max tiddies
>learned some basics but nothing too advanced
I eventually dropped duel links sometime during onomat meta
>found out TCG now had rituals designed to counter extra deck bullshit
>downloaded edopro and started playing dogmatika obsessively
it was around this time i legit started learning the advanced game mechanics, lots of trial and error figuring out what cards to rip from the ED, lots of card reading to understand the difference between if/when, lingering effects, various types of removal, etc. I did lots of tag duels as well which turned out to be cool for learning
By the time MD came out I already had a pretty good understanding of the game and just kept playing on and off through the years collecting waifu decks
All in all I think it took some background + some months fucking around doing anime roleplaying + a couple of weeks of actual "serious" studying

I'm also surprised when the Fizz I lane against pivots into an Jinx and suddenly hits me with a Zed Ult.

Okay I admit, the game as a whole was not the correct comparison, but it is certainly more to learn than the complexities of any single deck.

Sky Strikers being full power in this event is REALLY fucking retarded. like who even designed this shit, if you were just going to do this why even do Synchro/Fusion/Link lock. Just do a link event since you CLEARLY want Sky Strikers taking the lead. no other deck can fucking compete, it's literally Tier 0 right now. it's like one of the only few decks that have a lot of layered interactions.

You play against the other groups you didn't pick. If you're matched with your own group, it means that there aren't enough players from the other two groups online and your group is over represented.

Baiting quite a bit to be honest. I still think YGO is way harder than the average player think. It's easy to forget how much there is to learn. You'll take less than a year if you play a lot - and I mean a LOT, that I can agree.

is there any way to beat heroes? i legitimately dont think it has any chokepoints in its current iteration, back in the day you just negated crusader and they could do nothing, why did they add support to this braindead archetype? that and branded always piss me off cause they dont have any weaknesses

>YGO is way harder than the average player think
Thinking about it I agree. I was thinking more from a long-time player's perspective. I also could've written what I meant better.
Learning one deck is easier than learning the entire game, and in the process of playing one deck you'll naturally build knowledge of relevant threats/strategies.
Though I still think the card game/moba comparison is stupid both are learned best by spamming one deck/character

>why didn't they ban KT
because it's in the pack and events are almost always advertisements for current packs
>and branded
because it's not even the scariest deck on the fusion side and far from the best overall, plus they gave everyone a playset of that for free last year so I imagine it's good for them to allow it and let people go in with a deck that perfectly suits one of the three branches

assault mode is gimped AF even when compared to anything from DOOD and behind, like ok, the gameplan for a 1cc into 2 omnis is cool and everything... except pure centur-ion is doing the same shit nowadays and without having to play 4-5 bricks, and without dying to Typhon. I really wanted to like the deck, but it's unplayable trash even by petdeck standards. Your best bet is slapping on Red Nova Assault Mode in Resonators

>>563774589
I meannnn Synchrons with AMA is pretty hawt. You can get out Crimson Blader AMA in which they're sorta forced to play against which leaves your Majestic wide open for the negaters. It's definitely win more but without Psy Frame Omega an d herald, it's probably the next best thing
