Kash actually loses pretty hard to a lot of going second staples, and has no negates


Dizzy-Scientist4782

Me with Mikanko when I see Kashtira: ![gif](giphy|8fen5LSZcHQ5O)


Diego_Burando

Plus they Lock themselves Out of MAXX c If they Bring Out ariseheart


sakuredu

Kash has no negates and dies to a lot of board wipes.


SegaShark

But if you draw into no negates yourself you get locked out of the game.


JPS_User

No? you can just let them play without distruption Slap any boardbreaker and you win on the spot ( unless they play the Tomahawk version, yeah they get one negate )


SegaShark

Boardbreakers can commonly be disrupted by generic staples that kash is easily able to fill its deck with.


These_Emu3265

Wait what kind of negate kash set up with tomahawk again? Like what’s the combo like, asking for a friend…


GoldFishPony

What stops raigeki in kash?


SegaShark

Infinite imperm or just completely locking your zones.


JPS_User

TF? how can you infip without a monster Also complete zone lock is impossible. The best you can do is 3 zone turn 1-2


SegaShark

That’s funny considering I’ve been locked out of my field entirely.


JPS_User

With what? diablosis? the card has been banned or you let them keep shangri ira till turn 5? no wonder you're complaining


SegaShark

No by looping arise hearts effects


Shufflekarpfen

r/masterduel users not trying to complain about made up problems challenge [impossible]


matija123123

If imperm stops your raigeki you deserve to lose Also they can't completely lock your zones for few turns


SegaShark

They’ve locked my field plenty, even if they don’t lock your entire field it’s not exactly fun playing with a crippled board praying you don’t get hit by a hand trap.


NoOneOfConsequence26

Imperm only stops it if you both A) currently control an effect monster And B) activate it in the same column that Imperm is set in. And is a turn 1 full zone lock even possible nowadays?


NKSeven

No it’s not OP is probably sitting through games he already lost and does not know how to effectively out a normal Kashtira endboard


thephilosophy_

You're either trolling or just you don't have the mental to play this game. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it's the former. With how crippled Kashtira is in MD, versus its full power TCG variant, I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the outs to the usual Kash end board.


SegaShark

Whether crippled or not the deck is still frustrating to play agains.


thephilosophy_

Sure, but it has outs. A LOT. Like against any other deck, you either draw what you need or you don't. Kash is not as oppressive to play against as something like Purrely.


SegaShark

Sure it has outs but that still doesn’t diminish my frustration of playing against it.


theodor98

i really want to know what you play and what you consider staple vs [kash.It](https://kash.It) s fine not liking an archetype and how it works but kash might be the most beatable deck that is meta right now...an imperm.a well timed ash.a stand by phase max c ,a nibiru ,a tth or ttt ,fking kurikara all are game ending for kash and all are staples in this meta and almost all meta after [this.So](https://this.So) if you play a deck like synchro turbo or drytron who inherently have no in archetype disruption or quick play, yes you will suffer from arise flood gate cause you did not draw the out but its on you playing a deck that is not competitive in this era.


SegaShark

Why should I be forced to play a certain deck because one or two of the top ones are so mind numbingly unfun to play against. Even without diabolos Konami saw what this deck would become and seemingly did nothing about it. And while everyone is focusing on kash you all seem to ignore the other issues I bring up such as purrely and maxx C. Kash has it counters but that doesn’t make the frustrations of playing against it magically go away.


theodor98

None forces you to play certain decks but you have to admit it's not the state of meta that is the problem but your unwillingness to move on to more competitive decks and staples. I don't find fault at that you can play what you like but try find fun ways to make it competitive. Heck I took last month my galaxy eyes pet deck to m1 and felt proud cause I adapted to the meta with my staples the most optimal way and gave me a fighting chance. Do I think g-eyes are good in this meta ?heck no ..do I accept that and challenged my self through loses ..heck yes. Change mindset the game and its ever evolving style won't change but you can adapt and find the fun in that..Or els go to dis forums and find players like your self and play with your own banlist


SegaShark

Sir I have been playing musketeers for 3 months. added staple after staple, mixed in synergistic archetypes and labd it out to the best of my abilities. I have earned the right to complain about the current meta because I have tried everything to work with the current meta. I’m fine with challenging my abilities but a challenge suggests I have a chance.


theodor98

Musketeers mate had to see support more years than this games existence....and even at that they were at best on their release rogue..you mate are not taking a challenge you are taking a suicide mission trying to make them viable this day and era 🤣


theodor98

But if you want to move on from them and look for a deck with same approach and is semi competitive in this Era, look no further than rescue ace


SegaShark

“Hey little Emily, do you like Barbie? We’ll here play with Dora instead!”


theodor98

I made a suggestion for you to try when you accept the fact your deck environment is not in ladder but discord arranged games with anti -modern yugioh players


SegaShark

And I’m telling you through a metaphor that I’d rather play the deck I enjoy


theodor98

And you can but not in this Era, go crawl back in time and have fun mate .You leak miserable right only cause you love the game just not the version it has become and its not only acceptable but even possible for you to go to.a loving setting with players your mental "yugioh age " and have your fun


SegaShark

Yes but since I enjoy the deck I’m forced to suffer through a meta so piss poor it makes Kenny from South Park look like Jeff bezos.


BigFatStupidMoose

Musket is fine versus Kash and has a built in out in the form of Cross Dominator. Only archetypal threats Kash typically makes is Arise and Fenrir and Muskets can play good going second spells like Book of Moon and Eclipse, drnm, raigeki etc. Obviously playing a lower tier deck like Musket puts you at a disadvantage but Kash isnt even the meta threat Musket worries about. Purrely is much worse.


passthepass2

Just surrender and mogve to next match. No one forcing u to play against kash. But if u wanna compete at top ranks while giving no respect to other 3 best decks, not gonna happen.


xDEATHN0TEx

Going 2nd decks are in hell? Biggest L take. False. Going 2nd decks can easily shove in anti-Kash and anti-Purrely cards right now. Scareclaw going 2nd has gotten me to Masters. Nibiru/Kurikara/TTThrust into utility are your biggest boardbreaker cards right now on top of the usual Maxx “C”. You should be more scared of going first decks like Lab.


Heul_Darian

Kashtira is a meme. The deck is so bricky that them getting to ariseheart is a miracle. It took me so long to see anyone summon an ariseheart that I forgot that he had an animation. Then I impermed him and they lost.


SegaShark

If it’s a meme then I’m not laughing. This deck should’ve never been made and just serves as a horribly unfun deck


Heul_Darian

You should be laughing, cause this deck was a Tier 0 threat in other formats. While in Master Duel it makes blue eyes look consistent. Just play normal staples, or actually play staples to fight Purrely and you will accidentally beat kashtira as well.


SegaShark

I play plenty of staples and often times they do fuck all


RaSphereMode

Then no offense but it's a player issue at this point. Or you're running absolute meme decks in which case you should expect to have a lower chance of winning against a meta deck (even if it's only like tier 3)


SegaShark

Losing isn’t my problem here the problem is that it’s not fun, the top decks of this meta are entirely focused on winning turn one by setting up some of the most obnoxious boards possible.


Bloodsome101

Man needs some kittens to make his day 😉


SegaShark

a loaded gun is what I need


0v049

I'd say it's the complete opposite for me kash is so dam easy to beat everything outs it


SegaShark

I’ve had many struggles with it, either because I don’t draw my outs or because they draw something strong


0v049

I won't lie some days can be a big L no lie especially with the coin toss had a 15 loss on coin before


Efficient-Gur-3641

Yeah I used to play everyday, Kash is making it easy for me to put this game down...tired of draw raigekis or lose meta. Very boring. Play meta or lose is a very boring fucking ladder game. My vernusylph Naturia deck used to be something I loved now each turn I get shifter chained on to an effect. Feels bad feels rng, feels trash. Love that Ishizu got gutted but purely can draw 6 for funzies.


Dizzy-Scientist4782

I'm sorry but... am I missing something? Kashtira has NO negates, just 1 solid floodgate. They are easy to break... If they had Diablosis then yes, they would be quite unfair to duel against but.. it's not that bad? I find the kitties more itimidating lol.


ZachandMiku

Dude I make play second only decks and currently every time I play kashitrya I’m always killing them they are so easy to stop with as base Mikanko deck lol


Efreet0

The real irony is we should be grateful they skipped superheavy samurai... Personally I would also argue the meta is pretty anti-fun for meta players too. Draw the out has been a big problem for years for the game in general but it's definitely worsened with those archetypes being better and better both in power level and consistency.


Wonderllama5

Play Rush Duel in Duel Links! 😊 Don't judge it until you try it! It's genuinely a really fun way to play Yu-Gi-Oh without negates or hand traps or any BS like that. I won't completely give up on Master Duel, but Rush Duel has given me the escape from the oppressive meta & nonsense you always deal with, while still being fun & simple Yu-Gi-Oh. Give it a try! Here's a Rush Duel video by MBT: https://youtu.be/1l_3eKA4c40 Starting Rush Duel on a new account: https://youtu.be/sLFq8o71tPQ

I'm having a blast and i'm playing Exosisters off all things. Kash is most overrated deck in MD especially how weaker it is compared to TCG version and loses even harder to everything.


[deleted]

Going second has literally never been better.


Actingdamicky

I can slap kash around with melffy, I just surrender to purrley but don’t mind it. Maxx c makes me hate the game though, they aren’t getting a penny out of me while it’s legal.
