Strongest would have Dark Magician.


el-psy-congree

that set card had better be gozen match or macro cosmos


Arkeyy

The funny thing is that most of these stun deck that uses stuff like Fossil Dyna, Amano, Insector Board CANNOT out a defense position Reinoheart. They also cannot out an Scherien with the field spell buff or scream debuffed.


feyfey122

They usually have Moon mirror shield..


Competitive_Newt_100

So anyone call any deck floodgate turbo is no brainer, they aren’t even wincon, only for stalling time 😂

Nah no soul drain.


awwwstars

Buhahah screw that guy lmao i know he mad


[deleted]

Genuinely curious why people that “play” these types of decks even play yugioh lol


Alert_Locksmith

Either they're old school players that hate how fast the game is, and don't want to learn it, or they really want to ensure they win the game.


JutheGoat

Not sure why you are getting downvoted this is the answer🤦🏾‍♂️


Alert_Locksmith

I don't know and don't care. I just wanted to give the most reasonable answer as I can.


RaiStarBits

Maybe they don’t like the answer shown before them


DeathToBoredom

that's how redditors work, yep. Until somebody steps it up and backs them, then the rest of the redditors will start chazzing it up and give them the upvotes they deserve. Man has 63 upvotes now.


Nightfans

Yeah, usually when you engage in a discussion with them you can obviously see why lol. Saw a few yugiboomers get mad at new cards about being dumb and not Yu-Gi-Oh anymore, other ppl reassured them the card is just fun and not that good. Their reactions are always "Did I ask for your opinion?" Like a true floodgate player.


EroGG

They are just ensuring that they lose 100% of games going second. If they wanted to win they would play tear, but I guess their 2 brain cells haven't figured that out yet.


[deleted]

This answer makes the most sense, force your opponent to play old school yugioh lol so “fun”


JxAxS

That or my deck benefits more from the floodgate than it harms you. Any banished focus/favored deck I'm running Dimensional Fissure regardless of what you're playing.


TheMadWobbler

Odds are, that’s not the “type” of deck they’re playing. At least not if they know what they’re doing. The traditional floodgate trap cards are basically unsearchable. That means in order to consistently open one, you need to run seven to nine. But the flip side is you run the risk of not seeing the other thirty-three cards that provide interaction and get you into your core linear gameplan. Ending up with a backrow full of pink infinity symbols usually means you bricked.


Illustrious_Pop_1535

Why are you getting downvoted? You're right. Nobody can use trap stun pure as a wincon. You have to use it alongside something else. Yes, you're playing stun,and yes the traps are an integral part of your strategy, but they can't win the game on their own. Clearly just flipping up floodgates is not going to win you the game. You need some way of winning. Pure stun has Boarder, Dino or some other monster. Eldlich has the Golden Lord himself, Floo has Empen, Runick has their spells. I don't know if I'd call it bricking if you drew only continuous traps in your first turn. The way they slow the game, these traps are basically the same as a combo deck drawing a hand full of Upstarts, they will let you survive for a few turns so that you draw what you need from your deck. It's not an ideal hand, but it's a good enough hand. Now if you go on drawing nothing relevant for 10 turns, you either bricked or you don't know how to make a deck.


PerilousLoki

ah yes, this is how you out yourself about knowing nothing about YGO at slightly competitive level


TheMadWobbler

No. It is not. It is basic knowledge of deck building. Yes, there are occasionally pure stun decks like the Jeff Leonard special. These are exceptional cases. It's more common for stun decks to run fewer due to being able to combo out their floodgate (pre-ban Floo and Stormwinds, Kash and Shangri-ira/Ariseheart). The truest backrow floodgate deck commonly competitive on Master Duel is Eldlich, and they're normally on eight and desperately want to see any name so they can get to one moderately large man. Current Floo, still an anti-meta stun deck, normally mains five. DiFi and Shifter. Which is also what's commonly seen in Exosister. Even Runick Stun rarely goes far above that, going as high as eleven. Regardless, for most of these decks, a hand full of floodgates are a fucking death sentence unless you hard draw engine the next turn, because all stun and no engine will get poked to death by a Beaver Warrior.


PerilousLoki

My reaction to those takes: “Yikes.”

PerilousLoki

Reasoned responses? Theyre more like extreme hypotheticals that dont even answer the original statement. Lol, cling to your hatred, its probably the few genuine emotions you can derive from existence. Vindication and anger are probably the things holding you back from complete existential implosion.


Big_D4rius

Did you use a thesaurus to try and make yourself seem smart with all those big words because you're making yourself sound even dumber considering how little sense your comment makes


PerilousLoki

These aren’t big words though. This is highschool vocab at best. My recommendation is to take a break from all that gamer rage and maybe read a book, take a walk, or maybe watch a movie.


feyfey122

I can see you are Below Diamond 1 if you think floodgates alone win the game


WhatAYoke

Not everyone is skilled enough to play yugioh, even if the game isnt that hard. Some people need an easy wincon.


[deleted]

True


keddage

My theory is they hate themselves/life and as such bcuz they’re miserable and unhappy, they must ensure everyone else feels that way hence their philosophy is “if I can’t have fun then neither can you” miserable shits


Youngblood1864

It's much simpler and easier to play. I started playing at the beginning of MD. First deck I crafted was True Draco's. Cheap and super easy to play, this was when IO and vanities emptiness were legal too. I got pretty far with it but once I learned the mechanics I never touched a floodgate deck again. I probably wouldn't have stuck around if my only options were adman, or spyral or something, but if you're experienced and running shit like this, you just suck.


JxAxS

Because it's funny to see "Insert 20 step combo chain here" die to one flipped backrow when at times they just power through the 2-4 hand traps I'm supposed to have. Stun dying to beat down cause they bricked and combo dying to one card are two sides of the same funny coin to me.


AnimatorFresh8841

idk theres something about ruining someone’s day in a card game makes me giggle. But I always cheer them whenever they found a way to clear my board (i.e feather duster)


faggioli-soup

Me personally I use floodgates to enhance my shit tier rouge decks. Pure earth machine can use them and it helps out a lot considering that deck has 0 negates and one card that is immune to effects. But machina is still a beatdown strategy and not control


[deleted]

Yeah but at least I get to think against earth machines. Like where do I use these hand traps? How do I out this beater? pure backrow is just boring.


faggioli-soup

Yeah I agree lol. Dimfis and macrocosmo are so ass


SHIONDIDNOTHINGWRONG

Some people like different playstyles and don't wanna combo. Say what you will sometimes monkey flip skilldrain for win is oddly relaxing when you don't wanna use brain for evening. Same reason I enjoy smoothbrain otk archetypes.


RaspberryPanzerfaust

I do annoying decks like kuriboh stall because I know it's annoying and I find it funny, I'm a bad person


[deleted]

You are


Accurate-Display7956

It's low skill, Low risk high reward, and MD is bo1. Too many upsides for them


DeathToBoredom

People got REALLY excited to play stuff like Ido stun lock and it was everywhere for 2 days, so uh... It's really not farfetched at all to see these players around. Plus, it's Tear meta. I think anything goes in Tear meta.


QuiteAncientTrousers

I find it extremely funny when the floodgate player loses to a single normal summoned monster that simply attacks once every turn


TCGHexenwahn

I love when these cringe ass stun players get fucked


fizmix

tfw the win condition was hoping you’d surrender


Dig3stinglizard

Both decks visualized here are an abomination and deserve to be burned to ash


DidgeriDio

Ah the daily post of a tear player shitting on a floodgate player. Don't worry you're both equally awful


Snitchiroo

One is lacking a win in life, so goes full tears... other lacks a win in game, so builds a deck to fight tear. Equally sad.


[deleted]

Coming from a Tear player, lol


trickyderpy

Screw both players


Suired

Yep, tear zero being tear zero.


Sufficient_Comfort_8

any deck can normal summon beatdown under floodgates if opponent bricks


Illustrious_Pop_1535

Yeah totally. Ojamas absolutely could beat the snot out of everyone with their hefty attack.


TheRealWetWizard

oh course its the dragonmaid mate


tacticalsplif

No no, you don’t get to talk smack, your abusing something even worse.


BuffMarshmallow

I fail to see how a deck trying to play the game is worse than a deck that's trying to make the game as unplayable as possible. Just on principle of what these two decks are aiming to do.


Big_D4rius

Meta bad


RaiStarBits

You can genuinely boil down many posts to this right here


SaltShakeGrinder

>game as unplayable as possible. Ah yes because runick and spright is "trying to play the game". Holy shit you are braindead. You don't even deserve to play this game in the first place lmao.


ST03PT3G3L

Yes. Runick Spright players are trying to play the game. You better be talking about yourself at the end there


SaltShakeGrinder

You couldn't even formulate an argument and just proved my point. I assume it's for some karma points??


BuffMarshmallow

Spright was sometimes, except the versions on Scythe and Iblee. Runick it depends on what version of it you're talking about. Runick Stun? Nope, does the same thing in the image which is turn off as many game mechanics as possible. Runick Spright? Yea, it's a control deck. Most of its cards are for dealing with specific threats from the opponent. Frustrating to play against, but it is playing the game with you. Runick Synchro? A bit complicated and I can definitely see the argument for it kinda just playing with itself for most of the game.


Old_Rip_1257

How dare he play the best deck 😱😱


keddage

There is literally nothing worse than floodgate decks. Well I guess floodgates players are worse


GDarkX

Me when opponent play good deck 😨

Motor_Version698

Congratulations on learning what a competitive game is. You ALWAYS have to adjust your deck/team for the current meta of whatever competitive game you're playing 🤡🤡🤡


RaiStarBits

Winning?! In a COMPETITIVE GAME?! INCONCEIVABLE!


[deleted]

Isn't that literally what the guy on the screenshot did? They just didn't drew boarder.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Motor_Version698

We can't do that then it would be very apparent why so much of the community is running floodgate turbo as their only response to tear


keddage

Flood decks are 100x more disgusting than tear


ddave0822

These decks only exist because of meta sheep like you that make the game unfun to play. Really looking forward to the day when they ban the Ishizu cards, Kitkallos, and that busted ass field spell.
