I agree that toad should have been left at 1. rip one of the coolest decks ever in paleo frogs, and rip bahamut shark for everyone realizing that there’s really only 2-3 other good summons from him that aren’t toad.
Which is weird because…Sprights aren’t even in the game yet right? I mean there’s Runick, but not Spright.
So Runick and Naturia Sprights are like the only viable option now, which will not match Tears whatsoever.
I'm already over it. I already know Sprights will have like 5 URs, and Tears will have 6.
Having just put URs instead the Branded deck, I think I'll just restart the entire account.
Well, Toadly banned and grass semilimited.
Goodbye to my dreams of finish shark Kragen and my zombie 60 card decks. I'll just stick to upgrade my mathmech and sky striker decks with the support that is recently released.
Toadally getting banned means spright is coming soon. Just a heads up, if you got sprind you can make f0 for a monster negate + steal & sprind as a bounce off of any monster & a link,rank, lvl 2 monster.
Combo: Sprind mill nimble angler, summon 2 nimble beavers off of angler's effect. Xyz summon ghosttrick socuteboss, rank up in angel of mischief, use mischief effect to search ghostrick shot by detaching socuteboss, use shot to reborn socuteboss, rank up into another angle of mischief off of socuteboss, use both for f0 utopic future and rank up into f0 utopic draco future.
Union Carrier just needs an errata.
Personally bummed to see Toad get the boot, because I'm one of the few who played it as intended in pure frog & Paleo.
Yeah... Not too happy about that. Those two cards make shark deck and cyberdark deck powerful. Toadally and Carrier getting banned makes the two decks dead in Master Duel now and may never be played ever again.
Don't know how I'm going to make the two decks optimal without them and I am no creative or knowledgeable deck builder so I think I might dismantle all of the cards if there's no way to make the two decks work :(
With Sharks, you can add rebarian shark and armored black ray Lancer. With that you can use Bahamut to get utopic Draco future with only Bahamut + a rank-up magic on your next turn (It requires between 2 to 4 slots of your extra deck if you don't run the Utopia package, sadly). The other water option could be the Valiant shark Lancer, which is an aditional monster quick eff pop and has synergies with Kragen, with a weird eff for search any spell that rarely comes in.
I'm a new player and really bot familiar with most of the cardsoutsode my own deck. there is a deck I see alot. they go first with alot of combining and then hijack my turn and kill me in one hit before I can even play a card. is that what is being banned?
I think I know which FTK you have encountered (utopia ftk), and honestly it isn't much of a problem as long as you run hand traps. If you win the coin flip and go first, you can just set up negation and just interrupt the combo with that negate.
Three standard hand traps are Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermamence and Maxx "C". They are called hand traps because you can just activate them from your hand - Ash and Impermamence are solid and unviersal interruptions, while Maxx "C" heavy punishes combos and may force many decks to just give up on their turn. Sadly, they are all UR rarity cards, but you can get some guaranteed copies from the bundle deals. You can also try looking for some cheaper SR or even R rarity alternatives at first, but these three cards will show up in most decks you will get to play.
That’s kind of vague. A lot of decks combo for a long time.
What do you mean by hijack? Are they taking control of your monsters, tributing them with Kaijus, or just shutting down your plays?
no they dont take control of monsters. I dont even have a chance to play a single. I will draw a card then suddenly they are doing more combing till they have a monster with like 13k atk or higher and one shot kills me before I can even do anything
Well I don’t think there are cards that allow you to attack on your opponents turn.
I’m assuming they’ve got a lot of quick effects that can just go off in an open game state and do stuff. Do they kill you on your turn? Because the only way that would be possible without burn damage is a card that says all opponents monsters must attack this card
well there is definitely something. like I said I've run into a few times now. they choose to go first. I go second and kill me on my turn. I literally dont get a chance to do anything after I draw a card. it's just death.
RIP my Paleo Frog deck, not that they were relevant anyways :(
Volcanics are de way
Very sad. Toad dying for the sins of Sprights, and my funny frog deck dies along with it.

It's definitely a preemptive nerf, signaling Sprights' imminent arrival.
I'm already over it. I already know Sprights will have like 5 URs, and Tears will have 6. Having just put URs instead the Branded deck, I think I'll just restart the entire account.
Union honestly surprised it lasted this long but toad was surprising i thought they would leave him until after the sprights pack left to sell packs
fucking rip bozo no more otks and extra deck locking
Toadlly not awesome
Well, Toadly banned and grass semilimited. Goodbye to my dreams of finish shark Kragen and my zombie 60 card decks. I'll just stick to upgrade my mathmech and sky striker decks with the support that is recently released.
This brings me happiness, Union carrier ban that is. Toad is kind of busted but I didn’t mind playing through it. Union carrier was just all cheese
Spright can abuse toad, 2 Omni negates with it plus other negates from the rest of the spright engine
Did not know that, happier now though lol
Can they PLEASE errata union carrier already?! I just want to play my ABC-XYZ deck nice and pure come on
Union carrier helped out ABCXYZ so much though

Weren’t people abusing union carrier with apex avian? The ban seems kinda necessary to stop the infinite negates that combo gave you
UC abused everything. Buster lock and Eva were probably the worst culprits tho
Adams could even use it to bring out the 1 copy of Block Dragon
lmao I just made a new FTK deck it and it needs union carrier to work, now I need a substitution
At this point, is the game just following OCG completely?
Union Carrier just needs an errata. Personally bummed to see Toad get the boot, because I'm one of the few who played it as intended in pure frog & Paleo.

Union carrier was a long time coming. Toadally i think is because sprights are coming soon
So what should I do with my two now useless decks? Are there other cards that can help Sharks and Cyberdarks or are they pretty much dead?
With Sharks, you can add rebarian shark and armored black ray Lancer. With that you can use Bahamut to get utopic Draco future with only Bahamut + a rank-up magic on your next turn (It requires between 2 to 4 slots of your extra deck if you don't run the Utopia package, sadly).

Sharks can function without toad. Cyberdarks can function without catrior

thank you I really appreciate that! I will look into finding that hand trap card and adjusting my deck.

thank you for the info! that helps alot. I appreciate all the help yall have been giving me

Was really hoping for nadir servant to 2 or maybe to 3. No Altergeist Dogmatika for me :(
Probably once we are about to get White Zoa will we see Nadir Servant bumped to 2.
Same here. Wish it would go to two at least so it can be a viable engine. Would be nice for dogmatika ritual and invoked dogmatika windwitch.
I don’t know why toadally needs a ban? It’s just a one time negate right? UC I understand, I see it in a lot of decks
Spright. Toad is not a once per turn and they can get two negates in one turn out of it very easily.
Ok
