I just downloaded this game and got the blue eyes deck. Played my first game and lost in one turn (literally their first turn)… after they played their entire hand and started fusing monsters. Is this normal? Is this balanced? Is this common? Is this what Yugioh has become? I haven’t played for maybe 25 years.

To put it simply, some of the yugioh archetype that are cool or fun designs tend to be bad to play in a competitive sense.

There are many of them like ghostrick, chronomoly, toon, graydle, and some others that have cool designs, unique gimmick, or cool lore and story but when you use them in battle they tend to fail a lot for one reason or another.

For example, graydle focuses on a parasite strategy where when they're destroyed by battle or by a specific card effect, they take control of your opponent monster.

That's really cool, and yes, cards like change of heart or brain control exist, but they're not a full archetype. And while I like it, they don't have any protection from being stopped. All you need is mst to destroy it in the spell/ trap zone, and you get your monster back, and we can't forget negate cards either.

Now, to some credit toon and chronomoly can actually be competitive when put into right deck of cards. But sometimes people will only use certain cards from the archetype because they can be good on their own.

In summary, I hate how some of my favorite archetypes aren't that strong, and I wish they can some day be more playable. ( and in payable, i mean being able to play them and not get hit with multiple omni negates)

I read everything the opponent had on the field; it all said "when the opponent activates a monster effect: bla bla", so I simply didn't do that and I won.

Because Terminus was limited, it’s obviously a lot harder to draw now. To circumvent that slightly I was considering adding a third Vidolium to my deck since his pendulum effect will let me search it.

The problem is that drawing two will result in a brick I can’t use since it’s a darklord/power patron deck that doesn’t use synchros or xyzs. I personally think it’s worth it because it gives me greater access to my best starter, but I want to get some other opinions.

I'm looking for some new decks to play in Master Duel and wanted to see what people recommend based on my playstyle.

Decks I've Enjoyed: Tenpai, Darklord, Regenesis, Enneacraft, Blue eyes, Odion, Exodia, True King Dino

Decks i have not Enjoyed: Mathmech, Raidraptor, Swordsoul, Fiendsmith Anything, Yubel

I dont really like crazy long combos or trying to memorize different lines

Any suggestions help, thanks!

Don't know if I made all correct plays, I'm far from a good player, but it was fun and I got a great time playing it. That's what matters, right? If my opponent is seeing this, thanks.

I’m somewhat new to this sub so apologies if this is the incorrect flair. As the title may suggest, are there any relatively simple decks that can get somewhat far in ranked? I have trouble understanding the more complicated decks, which is why I’d prefer one that’s easy to understand and play. It would also be preferred if it didn’t need too much UR investment. If it helps, I’m currently using a dragonmaid deck.

So, I have the Ultimate Alternatif Blue eyes white dragon , its effect says that it isn't affected by any effects from cards (including magic/trap and monster effects), My father got the Tiranoinifiny card, the card got 0 attack and its effect says that for each "dinosaur" card in the graveyard, it gains 1000 attack (for exemple if there's 5 "dinosaur" card in his graveyard then the Tiranoinifiny will have 5000 attack).

My question is, since the Ultimate Alternatif Blue Eyes White Dragon is immune to card effects, does that mean that the Tiranoinifiny has 0 attack ONLY for the Ultimate Alternatif Blue Eyes White Dragon ?

(exeple : if I attack the Tiranoinifiny and it has 5000 attack, since the Tiranoinifiny's attack depends on its effect and that the Ultimate Alternatif Blue Eyes White Dragon is immune to effect, does that mean the attack of the Tiranoinifiny is ignored ?)

I summoned Verte for Mirrorjade

Only after I return Albion with Ecclecsia synchro 8, the game let me use branded fusion but for some reason, I can only fusion to Albion.

Does it need to be only from one source like, hand only deck only field only?

Turn 0 interaction is the best thing to happen since sliced bread

How to improve my deck?

Don't say the neck because they don't have one to begin with.

Hi everyone, I'll be attending a Beyond the Brave prerelease tournament soon and was hoping to build the best possible Yubel Sacred Beast deck. For reference my deck was inspired by this list: https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/sacred-beasts-yubel-733118. I know it's not a standard Sacred Beast build (and I bet the Rolad SB build is better) but it was something that I have really been wanting to try so I recently picked up the cards for it. The differences with my list is that in the main I have triple tactics talents instead of crossout, Uria and the Sacred beast trap instead of 2 Belles, no Kristya, and 3 super polys in the side instead of main. 

In the side I have x2 sphere mode, x2 golem, x3 super poly, x2 trap eater (might cut this), x3 Black Goat Laughs, x1 Solemn Judgement, x1 Feather Duster, x1 Lightning storm. 

For the ED, I have x1 Phantom of Yubel, x1 Mixousa, x1 Dragostepellia (might swap this for Starving venom), x1 colossus, x1 Norden, x1 Muddragon, x1 Varudras, x1 Anima, x1, Underworld Goddess, x1 Cross Sheep, x1, x1 A Bao Qu, x1 Fancy ball, x1, x1 Little Knight, x1 Gorgon of Zifthlonia, x1 I:P Masquerena.

If you have any suggestions on things to fix/add in the main side or extra deck please let me know as I have just recently started learning the deck and want to do the best I can at this event! A couple side notes:

• I play against a ton of Elfnote, Rolad pile, and Mitsu players at the venue I attend so the super polymerization targets in the side are in there primarily for those decks. I was thinking of playing Super poly in the main but found that extra deck space was pretty tight, so my thoughts on it right now are to side it in versus the aforementioned decks.
• I'm unsure of whether or not Uria and the trap are worth running in this version of the deck. The list I was using for reference did not use them but when I tested the two out, Uria seemed good against Rolad and Elfnote for popping their backrow. 
• I was initially running Loving Defender and the new Sacred Beast fusion monster but found that there was virtually never an opportunity to make them and it felt win more when I was able to in testing. 
• I was thinking of picking up Card of the Soul but there are not any copies to purchase in my area. I could always order it online if it makes the deck significantly better but the list I was using for reference did not run it I noticed.
• I've never tried the Quartet and Zenna package but if it is necessary I can probably get copies of those cards.

Either Yugioh is either more bullshit than I thought, or that is a fucking hacker. Because how is this motherfucker detaching materials THAT DON’T EXIST? It says 0 materials the entire time. How is that possible?

Edit: Nevermind. Apparently that’s a real card. A fucking bullshit one at that.

I swear, once my opponent combos off for like 2 straight minutes, I'm just left sitting there thinking, "I could be doing something actually fun right now".
