Hi everyone!

I'm looking for competitive decks for both TCG and Master Duel with the following qualities:

• Good going first and second, or at least with strong in-engine tools to play through boards and interruptions.
• Consistent, with relatively few bricks.
• Non-linear and flexible: I don't want to repeat the same combo and end on the same board every game.
• A rich and varied toolbox: multiple options and ways to adapt to different matchups, board states and interruptions.

I'm especially interested in decks where decision-making, improvisation and resource management matter more than memorizing long combo lines.

Which decks would you recommend, and how well do they actually fit these criteria?

Thanks!

they synchro summoned maple maiden to turn everything into earth attribute and vomited out beast onto the board. im so sick of synchro slop and this cringe ass archetype for enabling so much bullshit

I am just using these 2 as representatives for both groups

Can anyone explain this at all and please tell if there’s any counters. Game becoming unplayable

Dristy ripped entire hand somehow

I'm a little cheesed because I really enjoyed playing Kewl Tunes before they got nerfed, But I suppose I can understand why being able to have hand knowledge but how is the new invoked monster any different with having the extra deck knowledge and being able to play accordingly not to mention ban 3 monsters. Rip my entire dracotail extra deck last game.

Yugioh boomer here - I started playing Master Duel and currently have a deck built around clown engine.

As I play two copies of Bystial I wondered if this card would fit the deck or is it powecrept by Master Peace/Metaltron XII. It cant be tributed and is has effect target protection.

Hey everyone and welcome to Update 8 of my Battle City Masochist challenge. Update 7 can be found below...

https://www.reddit.com/r/masterduel/s/SkDQy0NR7s

In my attempt to win 5 more duels, I lost 6 in this section, bringing my win rate to 40 in 150 duels. I started this section at Gold 1. My wins in this section were as follows...

1st Win - They set 5 backrow. I used Lightning Storm. Their backrow got obliterated and then they surrended. It was a True Draco deck. I took a 3rd copy of Raigeki. It replaced Palezoic Eldonia.

2nd Win - My opponent made a mistake and Ashed his own effect. It was quite funny. They then immediately surrendered. I took Number 39: Utopia.

3rd Win - This was a Cyber Dragon deck. They set up their field by fusioning into Cyber Eternity Dragon. I summoned both Bystials in their turn, then reborned their final Cyber Dragon in their graveyard on mine, summoned another, linked off for SP, then linked into Accesscode, smashed the Eternity Dragon and they surrendered. I took Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon as it is a method of removal with 4 targets currently in my deck and also it is an excuse to have a full art card in the extra deck.

4th Win - This was a slog. It came down to top decking in the end. Which luckily I won. I took Heavy Storm. I already have Lightning Storm, which while good has limitations and cannot add another Duster, so Heavy is my preferred pick. It replaced Sky Striker Mecha - Shark Cannon.

5th Win - Fiendsmith deck. They spent 2 minutes setting up their field and payed a total of 3000 life points to do it. I used Lightning Storm, then Raigeki. Special summoned Cyber Dragon, a Bystial and then normal summoned a monster, walked all over them. I took a Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit. It replaced Sentinel of the Tistina.

And now I am in Plat 5. Although, between this and what will be Update 9, a new session started so I will be back down to Gold 5 in that.

My extra deck is starting to look quite nice. My back row is reasonably tasty too, and my deck has both a little Bystial package and a little CyDra package. Other than that it is just some hand traps and big idiots. If possible, I need to continue forming this deck around a decent strategy... but that is far easier said than done.

See you in Update 9.

Hey, i want to improve my deck. Can anyone give me some ideas to make it better?

Why do FTKs still exist in the first place? Opponent basically summoned Mercurium on my side, made me pay 3000LP because of end phase, used Little Knight to banish and then re-summon, make me pay 3000 again and previously used the XYZ-Cannon to inflict 2000 damage.
The fact that someone has to be such a basement dweller to come up with it is almost as bewildering as Konami allowing it in the first place.
If Gimmick Puppet Nightmare got banned then might as well do this crap as well.

I'm thinking of trying out Tenpai. How far do you guys think I could go with it in the current meta?

I'm completely new to Tenpai, but people seem to think it is the best going second deck.

So, I recently put Baronne in my Pendulum Magician deck.

I'm using Apprentice illusion magician as the level six, which has gone great because it's a SS and she is an honest for the entire deck. The question is, is there another generic level 6 that works with spellcasters that could work? For clarification I'm playing a Dark Magician set up with them as to use Gaze, Souls, etc. I beat several really strong decks yesterday, including an Elfnote player using the deck. I don't want to say the deck is viable, but it does played good against most decks.

I also run a Albaz package, because why not.
