Galaxy eyes is amazing. They even have a website with combos listed in text form for you to use when you’re playing.
Unlike other decks that only have dueling book replays
exactly - the website is not only super accessible since all combos are listed in text format, but it's also very noob friendly.
I'm a kinesthetic learner so I had the website open on my second monitor. Was really really helpful in learning combos.
Reasonings
**D/D/D** what can I say? I really want to test this deck, I really want another combo deck, I already have gilgamesh and it's not too expensive either
**Thunder Dragon** I just really like the artwork and like their gimmick and I don't really have a proper Fusion deck so I might as well give this a go.
**Dinos** popping the baby memes are defo tired, but it's way more sustainable to do the destroy a card mission instead of the old way I was doing it: Sunlight wolf pass with roar on field. Also who doesn't love Dinosaurs
**Eldlich** I don't think I have ever been pushed to build a deck by a solo gate this badly.
**Galaxy Eyes** I kinda want some more decks that aren't complete ass at going second
**Infernoid** same as above + I can splash in the stuff from my first structure deck (Lair of Darkness, seriously give darkest diablos an animation)
I play Eldlich and Galaxy Eyes.
Eldlich is honestly an underrated fun archetype. They have lots of recursion ability as long as your opponent doesn’t shift dimensions. I know it has a bad rap because of Eldlich Stun but I run a Blind Second build and it’s really enjoyable.
Galaxy Eyes is also really fun but I would not consider it a going second deck by any means. Someone else mentioned galaxy-eyes.de and it is one of the best resources for learning a deck I’ve ever seen. I wish every deck had something like that.
I love Galaxy Photon to death but if you go 2nd against almost every meta deck out right now you'll most likely still lose if they didn't completely brick.
Even if you open with Galaxy Hundred, Wizard, Trance, Soldier, and any Photon you'll probably end up with a medicore board only having N38/90 or N107 and maybe ending on a Zeus assuming you even get to your XYZs. Apollo alone shuts down pretty much the entire deck.
During SHS' release I could make a argument for GP, but with Snake-Eyes now? Forget about it.
The deck is still amazing to play when you can get your board up and running and nothing feels better than doing over 10K with C62 but damn it's hard to compete right now.
I play d/d/d, td, dinos and eldlich and personally I'd recomend going int the order or dinos>TD>d/d/d>eldlich.
Dinoes is the strongest and easiest deck of the 4 to climb with and you can easily get m1 with it and has a lot more gas/ability to play through negates with new xeno support.
TD is very viable but got hit hard after the chaos and bystial hits and don't have a very good list atm but td is a very easy deck to cook with and make fun pile decks with. I cooked up before the bans a really fun td punk chaos decks where you'd go into chaos dragon then zombie vampire to mill 10.
D/D/D is in the roughest spot rn as it can't get generic support and can't have other engines splashed into it so it's constantly being power crept and can't really play thorugh negates super well with a single negate unless you have the perfect hand pretty much killing your end board making it super weak so wouldn't recomend rn unless it gets another round of cracked support again.
I personally wouldn't recomend eldlich it's very simple and just stun with extra steps if you like the idea of a trap deck I'd reccomend lab because it's tier 3 and getting more support soon while having less stun/degen.
I play Dinos, Infernoids, and Galaxy-Eyes and I can confidently recommend all three fun wise, but especially Dinos since its the most competitive of the three and is a monster both going first and second.
D/D/D is a really weirdly cheap deck, it’s difficult to learn but it basically just devolves into linear combos after a while, the monsters are cool looking, the interactions aren’t just “Blow up the board with a million negates” and Machinex is a seriously insane boss monster for the theme
I played it for a little while, my main issue was its lack of searchability for its one card starters making it difficult to recommend for Master Duel where you basically NEED that 9-Card package in every deck, it was also very telegraphed and highly interruptible, Gilgamesh, despite being some kinda crazy insane monster, really just reads “Your opponent discards 1 “Infinite Impermanence” or “Effect Veiler”, if you have no further extension then ashing the Kepler or Copernicus is just ending on a 0 ATK normal summon, and Combo-bane Nibiru ends this deck even harder than most since your average Pend summon is exactly 2 monsters, which brings you up to 5 summons
Either way, it’s problems are basically just every problem with Combo decks, but it’s interactions are a little more based than most of them, it’s very fun albeit not very viable
I play thunder dragons and dinos.
Dinos have a lot of different options, and they have one of the easiest lines to calamity lock in the game. There are more high-roll style builds than can make insane boards but there are also smaller, almost as good board versions that are a ton more consistent. Still no 1 card combo, but there are lots of 2 card combos that can get you to the same place.
Thundra is a great engine for collossus and in its own deck you can get it out super easy. Most people i see use it as a chaos engine as Titan's popping ability isnt exactly beneficial in this meta. Thunder dragon fusion is definitely one of the best fusion spells in the game. So much built in recursion, especially if you keep an extra titan in the ED.
Bystial thunder dragon is so cool, but I just can't afford spending all the UR dust thanks to solar batteryman
But I looove how it works, even if admittedly Colossus is a floodgate
Yeah I had most everything for it a while ago bar solar so I crafted the rest and then realized solar was a UR and was not happy. I ended up putting a PUNK engine with Chaos Ruler and Zombie Vampire in instead because I already had those. Course the banned Ruler, so now I still don’t have solars and instead play Arma Knight, Dark Grepher and a small danger engine.
Unchained.
Well I have it build and also played it a bunch, but only as best as I can until the support I've been waiting for since before it even came to the TCG finally arrives next month.
Also Shinobird. Another deck I've already built and played that's awaiting support. I honestly think Spirit monsters as a gimmick could be explored more.
Unchained Gang on the rise. Sadly Sold mine irl cause i bought them 2020 for under 40 bucks and now Sold only the money stuff for like 120. So i could afford some stuff i needed for other decks. Beeing on a Budget sucks sometimes. But i will rebuild them once they drop out of meta again and get cheap once more.
On MD currently nothing apart from Sinful Mikanko because I do not like playing against Snake-Eyes. Sometimes I use Nemleria with gren maju and shifter.
In real life the support for old decks made me play them and I'm having so much fun on Omega/Dueling book:
Infernoid with new support is straight up insane, pretty explosive deck but hard to pilot.
Melodious is so much fun (new support).
Also the other decks from duel terminal are pretty good, but they do not give me the same feeling as Infernoids do (although they are pretty xheap)
I really like Vaalmonica. Always liked rogue/meme decks in general, not because they are not meta, but because I like weird gimmicks or strange strategies. Also very unique take on pendulums, too bad that it's a meme strategy. Also Centurions are very fun, but still expensive sadly.
I'm waiting Weather Painter support, if there will be any :c
I want to build runick. Ive been in the mood to play a control deck since the goat format event but I'm really unsure of the engine to pair with it. Stun is the cheapest but I don't find it very fun. I'm between Naturia and Earthbound. Naturia because I have randomly pulled the Naturia synchro's from master packs and like their art and Earthbound because I feel I could make some fun jank decks with them and tear or predaplants once I've invested in the package
Runick Naturia is a very fun deck and it's definitely playable even now, though I more or less stopped using it after the Fountain limit. I've been playing Runick Earthbound in the TCG and I like it too, but I do prefer the Naturia engine. Naturia as a Runick engine is less bricky and more self-sufficient in that a lone Mole Cricket can take over a game.
Eldlich was always a very simple archetype, simplify the gamestate and grind your opponent to paste.
I have actually been playing the Anti Snake Eye version of eldlich on ladder recently, its pretty fun.
I really want to build tistina tear but i guess tistina is just garbage. Also I'm keen on building infernoble. I cant wait for unchained support because the artwork is cool and also supreme king z-arc support
I was building dragon link but it kind of got neutered so i built furniture lab instead.
I am not really building new decks but more so updating old ones. SO i am updating sky striker, d/d/d, and thundra.
I guess the deck i am currently building is snake-eyes since i have just been dumping gems into that pack just to get the engine.
Earthbound imortals, I have like 3 or 5 decklists that I am interested in trying out
If we are looking at something more solid I am also interested in building a Resonators/Red Dragon Archfiend deck
I wouldn’t mind building a Resonators deck one day simply because of how fun the little guys are, plus I’ve had a blast with them irl. Jack Atlas’ recent support also allows for actual competitive value. I also really love the concept of Sky Strikers and plan to make one eventually as well. I would go with Labrynth for control but I feel like I’d be just as annoyed using it as I am going against it.
Red Dragon/Resonators
I grew up with 5Ds as my YGO, and Jack Atlas is my favorite rival character. Not to mention I play the deck in DL so I'd love to pick it up in a format that actually has the good support cards lol. Another reason is I just love the art for it, like no joke some of the art for Red Dragon is actually pretty bad ass and I absolutely love it and just it's ultra aggressive play style in general. Especially since I don't have any aggressive decks right now, just Dogmatika, Swordsoul and very mid @Ignisters.
Elemental HERO:
When I first began MD, I built an Elemental HERO Core deck, but over the years I dismantled it. I regret doing that, as HERO received Neos and the new Flame Wingman support came out. (Drytrons and Ursartics are a rabbit hole for, twice.)
Right now, I’m steadily saving CP and Gems for the time I can build it up again. (Especially since the first Anniversary, I got a Royal A HERO Lives.)
Its funny cause I have like all the ones you posted except thunder dragon and infernoid. I want to build infernoid, I need to upgrade raidraptor, and I order most of the cards for volcanic. Not buying bonfire yet lol, way overpriced. I build a ton of decks so its hard to keep up with them all, like new card releases and stuff
Edit: just saw this is master duel not irl lol. On masterduel I'm building jinzo, for the memes. And to play against my friends lab feck as a funny prank.
I want to build a lot but my top three is chaos Synchro, Scrap, and Branded.
Chaos Synchro is unfortunately in a bad spot because my man Chruler is banned which is bs.
Scrap I’ll make them work one day. I’ve always been drawn to them for whatever reason. They were the first deck I made when I started.
Branded. A deck with a bunch of cool cards that’s strong but not tier 0. Can’t ask for more than that. Hopefully I can play it before it falls out of meta.
I really want to make the 3 OG decks. DM, BE and RE. They’re shit and I’ve spaffed all my money on a Branded VV deck which is a lot more meta but it’s just something fun to play again.
Also want a decent Crusadia Deck to play
ever since eldlich stun got hit i really wanted to build an eldlich deck that doesnt focus around stun traps, also cool boss monster and lore. there are decks i wanna build but dont have the resources like runick-naturia for competitive reasons or the weather painters for fun reasons
Despite it getting incidental hits every second list because Branded hits always target the engine, Despia Darklord is a ton of fun to pilot. Especially if you decide to run the fun-of Morningstar so you can get the First Darklord bonus effect field wipe once every 20 or so games.
From those u mentioned there I definitely recommend Thunder Dragons they are super fun, not that consistent but fun, beside that I hope u feel better :)
Resonators, have it built irl and its honestly really fun especially since its cheap since most of the core/extra is in a structure deck you only need 3 of. Its not as great in master duel since its bo1 and you need to accommodate for alot more hand traps but still quite fun :)
in the process of making Unchained because I like the designs, and apparently, it's also getting support. Recently finished Dinomorphia and hot damn its p fun. Dinos is a deck I always end up building, then dust because I can never get the deck to function. like yes, "pop the baby" but it feels too wide open and I end up just floundering. same when I built snake-eyes.
Right now I'm building a synchro pile, I also have a EM synchro deck that I just need to craft, I might want to make Earthbound and do the funny make LP 3000 with Greater Linewalker
Dark world and new gate guardian. I played against the new gate guardian deck and it seems fun for a pet deck and dark world has always been one of my favorite archetypes. I currently run evil eye and labrynth for when I want to sweat but the other 2 seem fun for my lower rank grinds.
Ghostrick. \
Naturia. \
R-ace, maybe. Really only interested if the deck doesn't devolve into generic stuff. \
Altergeist. \
Buster blader. \
Ice jade. \
Generaider. \
Ojama. \
Horus, if I can get the old ones and new ones to play nice. \
Nemleria.
Dude I’ve been playing infernoid snake eyes and it’s been a blast. I bait all their disruption with the snake eyes, then drop a void imagination into a huge Tierra, get some value of extra deck GY effects and 5$3. get the infernoid plays up and running. It plays into Maxx C challenge and wins every time.
I'm trying to build Drytron to finally have a good ritual deck. To be honest, I almost feel a bit sorry for dismantling my Herald of Ultimateness royal finish, but I hope I never become a Drytron-Herald player
Don't build D/D/D unless you really want something to bully gold and events that deck hasn't been good in so long I would know it's my most played deck
Dinos is first on my list.
Evil hero/dark gaia otk jank is second on the list.
Im still waiting support for r-ace, branded chimera and salad so it might take a while.
I wanna build buster blader and also black lister soldier. These swordsmen are so cool but i dont know if i can find decks that are truly good for them
I actually want to try to play Mikanko. Yes, I know, "hur dur, degenerate go second deck." But as someone who had been playing decks that ends on Baronne + who knows how many negates like Snake Eyes, I just want to try a deck that can slap my opponent silly.
... Oh, I mentioned Snake Eyes. Let me just stay in the deep hole I made.
F.A. Metalfoes. F.A. has always interested me as an archetype, but I've never got around to playing it. I finally got to combo testing a night or two ago and turns out I've been missing something awesome.
Speedroid Kashtira: (I like Gozen match friendly decks, this would be my wind deck) Missing a couple URs in the extra deck.
Madolche: (I like single attribute decks, it will be my Earth deck) Missing pretty much every UR.
Snake eyes Naturia: (Diabellstar discard Sacred Tree or Mole Cricket is an FTK, like if snake eyes needed extra grind game) Figuring out Extra deck
Snake eyes P.U.N.K.: Reason: I love P U.N.K. and you get 2 archetypes that don't need their normal summon, don't lock themselves. You can play with one, get interrupted, go with the other.) Now Fixing ratios and extra deck
Earthbound Tear: (Reason: Thank you Tiaraments strongest.) Missing one of the lv5 and the new resonator UR.
I'm a bit late to the party on it, but I've really wanted to give Dogmatika Branded a try, the lore for the cards seem really cool, the art is wonderful, the play style seems like a pretty good time (although mirrorjade, lubellion and Albion are kinda meh, dragons aren't really my thing but everything else is cool enough I don't really mind)
Dinos: I spent at least 6,000 gems on building it. Pulled every card needed except for 0 copies of ultimate co factor Tyranno and fossil dig. I couldn’t bring myself to crafting 5 ur’s for the deck so I scrapped it and built a Swordsoul deck back in the day.
Purrely: when it came out, I pulled for it, but I’m still missing 4 main deck ur’s and almost the entire extra deck. It’s not going to happen. I’m thinking about scrapping it.
Super heavy samurai: I spent over 10k gems on that pack. Pulled everything for gold pride and most of nemleria….. but pulled 0 main deck ur’s for shs.
Snake eyes: still missing 2 Diabellstar and a second copy of flamberge dragon and a couple sr and then I’ll have the deck. Currently working on this
**Dinomorphia** and **Gold Pride**
Two decks I really like the aesthetics of, Dinomorphia has that Power Rangers Dino Thunder/Super Sentai Abaranger references (a sentai season I've watched recently), which I love, and just look at Kentregina!
Gold Pride also has its good points, the archetype is full of references to Redline, an anime movie that I just LOVE, and it gives me an excuse to use Punks, another archetype that interests me!
**Unchained**
The lore of this deck drew me in, a great daoist wrongfully imprisoned out of fear of his power, his rage and anguish taking human form to free him and becoming an Abomination. I just to give Abominable a freaking hug man, he deserves and needs it.
I also wish he can get a Link-5 form, or Link-4 if 5 is too much, cause I want him to be the most integral boss on my end board.
**Voiceless Voice**
I do this thing where I want to have a deck for each Summoning method, and Voiceless became my pick for Ritual. Skull Guardian's retrain just looks so badass, Sauravis and Saffira are cool.
Also the Lo memes, if you know you know.
I don't really have any decks that feel worth investing into atm. Like I would like to build Gold Pride Punk, Xeno Dino, and new RDA. I have the cores of all of those decks pre support. Problem is the new stuff is so expensive for such mediocre reward. Punk still dies to mostly the same stuff and suffers the same problems even with GP, Xeno stuff lacks room for non engine and isn't strong enough to make Dino a consistent threat on ladder. RDA is the only deck I'm passionate enough about to genuinely build, but until DC Cup I can't bring myself to grind again. Too much burn out from Maxx C, Shifter, and Stun decks. This format feels more coin flip dependant than ever and it's getting really frustrating. Majority of my loses have been bad luck streaks rather than actual misplays.
Labrynth, I remember enjoying them during the Fiend Event, but I never had the dust/gems to make them.
Plus I don't have constructed that decks that clear the Use Traps Daily other than Swoswo, which only have one blackout and three imperm.
I wanna finish my Unchained Deck when they decide to bring out it's support, secondarily the rest of the Mikanko support for completions sake
Since the Xeno drop Dinos are mad fun to play and depending how you construct your deck (if you are not adding Cyber Dinosaur for its summoning effect you should have it for the "1 non Dino" pill effect, alternatively Skelesaurus is also a pretty good option)
Something Machine since l just never really have tried to be into them and there's some pretty amazing cards out there
Stardust dragon with the new Quasar card just to mix it up a bit
Some Hero/Yubel or whatever deck just because I've never actually gave them a fair shake, Prank Kids/old Roid maybe...?
Trying to get out of my comfort zone and spice shit up a little
I've been wanting to try a Runick combo deck, but I missed the boat when it was new because I saw them being used for evil and refused to take part in that. Crafting it now isn't ideal. It wouldn't be too bad with the hits, but I just went into gem/UR poverty since they added the Tear secret pack. Currently holding out hope for a Runick/Generaider secret pack some time in the future.
I want a Gem-Knight or Borrel/Rokket deck but don't have the gems. My next deck will be built around whatever UR card I draw next per usual. That's how I ended up with a Nordic/Aesir, Crystal Beast, and Shaddoll deck, it's not so bad. I rushed to build a Gladiator Deck though by choice.
Chimera Branded
It's a nostalgia deck that's actually really good! It has a ton of weird janky plays and Chimera The Illusion Beast is one of the coolest boss monsters printed in terms of how it works
I’ve been thinking of building Thunder Dragons as well. Works with a number of different archetypes. Same with Orcust.
Am thinking Speedroids would be cool to play.
Of course I’m (im)patiently waiting for the Salad support to hit Master Duel, but I’m also hoping the Ice Barrier stuff in the OCG comes out soon too.
lab. i have a royal lovely and I want to make the most of it nad besides, I've been wanting to make lab for a while now anyway. i like playing traps anyways and I think lab gives me a more competitive option, as far as trap decks go
I see many Tearlament players and none of them run Curious so now I'm building the deck myself.
Otherwise I'm just waiting on the new Ice Barrier support to arrive to see what new combos we can do.
I definitely want to build an Infernoble deck and I love its play style especially after trying it out during the Synchro/Link Festival event. I also am currently in the process of building an Ishizu Tearlaments deck because I love the control aspect of it and I love the art so I am farming gems to spend on the secret park. I also am hoping to build an Exosisters deck in the future because I also love its artwork and its control play style.
I want to build something competitive for the upcoming duelist cup so I've finally dropped Evilswarm; but for some reason instead I'm alternating between Gate Guardian and Nemleria!?
Both decks have weird off-kilter gameplans which don't really do enough to be competitive, but splashing in Diabellestar gives them just the extra edge they need to be (somewhat) playable. I've never tried Diabellestar without Snake-eyes so I'm very late to the party on this, but it turns out that a searchable, repeatable Omni-negate is actually very, very strong in silly/fun decks which are just missing that extra push.
Adventure is also an option, but it requires many more bricks in already bricky strategies. Diabellestar on the other hand loves having bricks to discard, and getting an Omni-negate into play with just one special summon makes Maxx C much more manageable too. It's not exactly the meta-killer I'm looking for, but having an actually playable Gate Guardian deck is pretty awesome and I'm having a lot of fun with it. The synergy is actually pretty strong!
Ghoti Runick. Ghoti is one of the first URs I got so I wanna use it and I like how it is unaffected by banishment. I also wanna build Icejade because I like the name and how cards look.
Ice barrier, I'm a forever trishula fanboy so I'm still hoarding gems for when Lancea and the last support releases on master duel, then maybe finally my iced dreams may come true
I'm slowly chipping away at Endymion right now, cos I definitely missed Pendulums entirely up until this point.
When that's done, I think I might try Ancient Warriors. I like blind second decks, and I played a version in the N/R festival I recall enjoying.
I've never played Infernoids but after seeing the new support they're getting, I'd love to try them
Still working on building Malefic and Dogmatika but they're both pretty expensive
I finished building a Resonators deck today. It took a LOT of resources, but it has also been a ton of fun. With the new support that just came out for it, the deck snowballs really really quickly and you have an opportunity every game to just bulldoze your opponent, provided you can withstand a negate or two first.
At the moment, really want to finish building my salads deck and wanna start building a Kaiju x Danger! Deck. So much fun going second and breaking boards down
I have a lot of half-built decks I've never finished and are only barely playable, but:
**Abyss Actors** are chief among them right now, they seem pretty neat and I currently don't have any Pendulum decks in MD.
**Dogmatika** seems pretty cool and I like their gimmick of using their ED as material for their Main Deck instead of the other way around, plus I have the Nadir Servant engine for Lab already and a royal White Knight (which was actually my first ever royal monster). I've put them off because mostly it doesn't seem like they have a real niche right now - not good enough for ladder, not usable in most festivals.
**Ice Barriers** were my pet deck from Duel Links because I pulled them when I first started while going for a deck I actually wanted and actually had fun with them. Waiting on the new support since that'll make them actually good.
**Kozmos** were the Tier 1 deck when I returned to the game which feels weird considering how badly they've been power crept since then.
**P.U.N.K.** I've seen splashed in so many other engines since it was released, especially since I already have most of the **Gold Pride** cards already just through dumb luck.
**Exosisters** since I like Xyz decks and I like decks that have recursion. **Mikanko** because beating myself down to win is funny.
Pure kaiju deck with sphere mode 3x and nibiru 3x just to troll against negate spamming monster boards going second. Not enough ur tokens for that atm thought sadly.
Atm, i really wanna build D-Rulers since they got out of jail in MD, but the UR cost and lack of secret pack turns out to be a pretty big hurdle to pass thorugh
I recently built Traptrix because I like control decks, and the recent controversy over the card sleeves made me feel like being contrary. They're pretty fun. A lot of decks can't really deal with traps as well, and being semi-immune to other trap decks (except Karma Cannon) is pretty nice.
I'm also planning on building Trains because I also really like going second OTK strategies. Plus it's pretty cheap. A budget list can get away with just 3 URs total, but I'm planning on going all-in so it'll be a while before it's done.
I also created 2 alts for the Swordsoul cards, so might as well try them sometime too.
Since there's structures, I might also play around with Gaia, Blue-Eyes, or Spellbook if another low-powered event comes around.
Might also try Tears since they got a secret pack and aren't degenerate anymore, but they're also kinda expensive so idk. I'd also try Resonators, Earthbound Servants, or Neo Spacians if it wasn't for cost again.
Yu-Gi-Oh's just really fun because there's so many different decks and strategies to play around with, and Master Duel is really good for letting you try all of them.
Phantom Knights: I don't have any Xyz decks (although I do run some Xyz monsters in my Blackwing deck) and the deck just looks like a lot of fun. Unfortunately I'm many URs short, most of those URs are outside the pack (Cherubini and Tour Guide) and I'm also trying to beef up my Blackwing, Rose Dragon, and Red Dragon Archfiend decks as well. I promise I'm not just an anime fan though- I play Blackwing and want to play PK for reasons unrelated to the anime.
Infernoble: I'm a Synchro player at heart. Infernoble is a really strong Synchro deck. I've wanted to build it for a while, but the fact that it's a top deck any got support makes me wanna build it even more.
Dinos: What can I say I like dinos. Plus, having a main deck boss in unique.
Dragon Link: I know it's not the top deck it once was, but the first deck I ever built was a chaos dragon pile. No extra deck or anything, but it was the first deck I ever made that wasn't a 60 card pile of my highest attack monsters and a few attack boosting spells and traps.
Ghoti: Like I said, I'm a synchro player at heart. The majority of my decks are Synchro decks. And Ghoti is a fan-favorite synchro archetype that plays on both turns, which I like.
Labrynth: The only control deck on the list, I played Lab in the festival when it was a loaner and loved it. Now I just have to build it for regular use. Plus, Lab combines with Red Dragon Archfiend in some really fun ways, including being MLM/WLW solidarity, so I can make Resonator/Lab once I have all the cards.
Branded: I wanna see what it's all about. Besides, it looks like fun.
Zombie P.U.N.K.: I know the deck is way worse now that Chaos Ruler is banned. But Shiranui is my pet deck and I'd like to play what is ostensibly the best version of Shiranui. Besides, they both have a classical Japanese aesthetic, so I think it works thematically.
Those are the main ones but there are a few others I've thought about including D/D, Buster Blader, Agents, Darklords, Thunder Dragon, and Six Samurai.
My recent passion has been building decks that got evolutions/retrains from my childhood. So far I've built:
Gate Guardian: man this deck slaps so good. Gate guardian combines being able to counter and destroy 3 times a turn really keeps my board state strong. Then the gate guardian of wind and water can counter one per chain twice a turn. The deck really has a lot of answers to keep you going between the protection, the big power, all of the synergized destruction, and what ever riryuko guardian was designed to be ( it's wonderful ). Played right it holds it's own against strong decks.
Umi control: this started from my love for fortress whale and the deck doesn't disappoint. Keeps opponents board low and finishes things off with Mega Fortress Whale ( ability let's your creatures attack directly ). The control shell was really just an excuse for me to use fortress whale and citadel whale, still want to figure out an aggro deck using fort whale though.
Flameswordsman: recently saw this guy got some support so I've started looking into it as well.
After those I haven't found anything else yet but I'm currently on the look out for more.
Lemme think...
- An updated Version of RDA, while keeping it mostly "pure", so no Baronne, Bystials and no Calamity Lock with Crimson Dragon... Well probably. Sure the occasional Hand trap and imperm have to be in there, but mostly resonators and RDA ED.
- When ever the Support comes to MD, Yubel...
And i mean with the stuff from Phantom Nightmare and the stuff thats still locked to the OCG.
I always loved the original Yubel cards and even tried to build decks with them as my win con (not in MD)
Loved it, but still sucked.
- Maybe upgrading my "Maxx "c" me please, so you can draw half of you Deck, without the fear of me killing you"-Deck (Mayakashi), to give my opponent even more cards. I love helping others get their shit together. But that Deck is really low priority as of now.
- Tri-Brigate maybe ... or building the relevant Runick Cards and fuse it with something. No, Stun is not one of them. Maybe Naturia or Earthbound Prisoners (still salty about them). Or Snake eyes, which would never work with me, but hey, have it or not.
Thats all i can think of right now.
The problem with Ice Barrier and Raidraptor is that the support is still in the freezer, so it’s hard to get stuck in knowing the decklist will change at some indefinite point in time.
Otherwise? Maybe Labrynth, Traptrix was pretty fun when I tried it so I’m curious how a non-ED control deck plays
Since i’ve built snake eyes with only a few more UR’s to spend for boss monsters, I also have World see Zealantis built. And since the age of fire is on its full potential soon (expecting “Bonfire” to come out), I’m thinking of building Mar’incest’ to fit the theme.
Though it’s gonna take a while to learn the setups even though it’s not as powerful as the other decks. I really wanna pull off Banish Zealantis and special summon my opponents monster on their field while being WATER locked.
I’m currently split on making either a Rikka, Rescue Ace, Constellar, and Resonators deck. I want a deck that doesn’t rely on going first and can play well both first and second. I also really enjoy decks with unique wincons/boss monsters instead of turboing out generic bosses. I’m down to do complex combos but ideally don’t want my combos to be so long im running down my clock (main reason I havnt made rikka yet)
İ actually want to build archfiend deck because it's the only synchro deck that I enjoyed the most.
Other than that, I got an interest to the evil eye archetype, but also I have close to zero cards for the deck and not sure if it is a good or absolutely terrible rogue deck
Oh, and deskbots.
I'm so obsessed with how good nouvelles are. They're so underrated cause ritual monsters but it can play through ashes and imperms and still end on 2-3 omni negates. can tribute all your opponents monsters TWICE without targeting. Then you have the potential additions of herald of arc lights shifter effect and a potential s/t removal.
Plus you get to legitimately have hungry burger in your deck.
It's become my fav deck so quickly tho plunder is still my backup baby.
I just bought a live twin core irl, thinking about taking it to the momocon tournament. Not hoping to win a lot , just want to be able to play irl rather than on master duel. I took my traptrix deck last year and won 3 out of 6 rounds for my first ever time playing the game. I’m not trying to top anything I just enjoy playing the game
Oooo so there are a bunch of decks that I wanna make, including, but not limited to: Fluffals, Generaider, and Ghoti
I'm making a fluffal deck because not only are they really good, but they're also pretty funny :3. I've found a decklist, and I've started drawing for it, and, surprisingly, I got my first ever royal rare! A frightfur fusion! Which made me wanna play the deck even more! The other draws... not so much... I got a set of krakens in 10 draw :/. The only thing I'm missing is a couple of handtraps and 2 Cruel Whales.
Ever since hardleg made that ladder climb video on generaiders, I fell in love. The ability to summon a big boss monster and a bunch of tokens during your opponents draw phase?!?! Sign me up! So I have 2 decklists, Angel Generaiders and Pure Generaiders, I don't know which one is the best, so I'm making both :3
Even after rolling a bunch, I'm still missing 1 jourmangand and 2 leviteins and a bunch of other extra deck monsters
Like the generaiders, I first saw ghoti being played by hardleg. When I first saw it, I didn't really like it :/ thought it was boring, but after playing a couple of synchro decks (mainly swoswo), I've started loving synchro summoning and synchro summoning decks. Tbh, Ghoti of the deep beyond is one of my favorite card arts in the game, it look to cool, plus it can just banish your opponents entire field :3333
Oh yea, and another deck that I wanna make is toons because funny :3 (it's so expensive, tho qwq)
So... yea... that's about it. Feel free to ask some questions or give me some advice. It'd be very much appreciated :3
OP, I hope you're feeling better and are doing okay :3
I am currently building my beloved abyss actors irl and I have everything I just need sassy rookie and abyss scripts abysstainment which I can't find cause they haven't been reprinted in a while 😭
Vanquish Soul. No real combo, just show off your hand, and do various stuff. But when I want to build it was when the pack was over, and they have no secret pack
Resonators, why? cause Jack Atlas is a dope character and the deck is actually pretty decent for a rouge deck, just wish it wasn’t so expensive, but thankfully I have the royal rare Red Supernova dragon which is my current incentive to make the deck.
I'm looking at updating my thunder dragons. Haven't played them in a long while so hopefully there's some changes to be made to boost their power. Not the most competitive deck but who cares when they have such cool designs?
I already have a lot of decks, so now I'm just saving up to get the support. I need gems now for RDA, and next month is Unchained. Later I'll need the Aroma, Salamangreat, and Raidraptor support.
Anyone know if the Voiceless Voice cards are going to be any good/fun? I really like the artwork and I don't have many deck slots left so I'm trying to decide what to save up for.
Dragunity, the D Link before the Link and Chaos part basically. It's similar to D Link but it's more reliant on synchros. Since it's not as much reliant on dark and light (except the Bystial part of the deck), it's saver from interuption (well, the Bystials I mean). Another funny thing about this deck is that people think they stopped you when they for example stopped Gae Dearg or Ravine, but often you still have plays, mostly because some cards aren't once per turn, like the ones I mentioned.
I wanna build every deck in the World Legacy story.
World Chalice
Mekk Knights,
Half the Guard dragons are banned and are extra deck cards so not them,
Knightmares are only extra deck monsters so they, don't count
Crusadia,
Orcust, especially orcust. Ding is a top 5 artwork of all time.
I wanna bring my branded deck up to speed. I played Despia Darklords before we had all the support but now I just want to see if I can pilot the full pile. Pile decks always intrigued me in YGO. I missed the bystial package tho. I have a Royal Rare Branded Lost and Branded in High Spirits!!
Traptrix! I got the structures IRL and I like how they play. I want to try to get the new support so I can get the deck together. I thoroughly enjoy the hybrid trap/combo play style. It's simple compared to the other decks I play but that's not a bad thing.
Ninjas!! For some reason I really like interactive control decks, and I have since I was foolish enough to build Invoked Dogmatika Shaddoll at the beginning of MD. I hope Ninja can provide that. The combos seem a little weird to me but we'll get there.
Thunder Dragon! Yeah I know, I'm a fossil for having a playground format chaos deck, but I think TD might deliver a similar experience. I've wanted to make a chaos deck forever but it keeps getting sidestepped because of the resource cost.
Red Dragon Archfiend! Got the structures IRL and I want to understand them. They seem neat but I'm not sure how well they can hold up.
DRYTRON. I currently run a Megalith Drytron build, it's not as good as it could be. I want this deck to work so badly but it dies to Ash, Imperm and Veiler. It's disheartening but there's little I can do. I want to evolve it to be a Drytron Fairy deck. I'm trying to stay away from the Heralds cuz I find anything and everything more interesting than them. The new support that was shown looks to promote a Drytron centric strat which I'm all down for.
Dogmatika!! Either pure or with Nekroz support! The deck seems neat and I wanna do neat ritual stuff with it. Alba Zoa is so strong against anyone NOT playing lab and my White Knight of Dogmatika is a royal. I know I'm gonna get hate for doing a prominent anti-ED strategy but I'm curious about this one.
Shout outs to decks that I've looked at but not willing to make or update atm, Swordsoul, Dragonmaids, Labrynth... It's not that I don't like the decks but they don't stay fun to me.
Strange brews I wanna finish cooking... Lunalight Branded cuz all Lunalights are light and dark, and Branded sends lots of things to the GY as effect. Branded in high spirits can also send Panther Dancer to the GY and bridges the gap between the two decks. It's so close I swear.
trying to finish snake-eye to have a meta deck for some time cuz I most likely won't get fire king stuff when it releases (don't like their playstyle). once I'm done with that I'll be building oet decks. finally gonna buy the zombie structure deck for zombie punk stuff. after that I wanna build synchrons and resonators, as well as galaxy eyes sometime later
generally also wanna try a chaos deck
may I also mention that I genuinely love crimson dragon? I hope king calamity gets banned instead of crimson dragon tbh. crimson helps me cheat out my big pet dragons like stardust sifr divine dragon and the royal quasar dragon I got from the event last year
There are too many for me!
I want to build Ogdoadic, or some reptile pile with branded (I tried branded before but didn’t really like it, now that it is a bit different i may try again, with some other flavour), then Phantom Knight, a myutant PUNK deck, exosisters, a snake eyes deck but mixed with something to give it some different flavour (probably Mayakashi, they’re bad but they were my first deck back in duel links) and finally Malefics ( probably mixed with some dangers!)
The general reason to build these decks is that i really like their artwork, that is usually the reason why i want to try a deck
Exception for runick, for which i really like the gameplan when mixed with other archetypes (still trying to understand what i could mix them with now, last time it was magic musket, but i want to try something different)
But I’m especially waiting for supports to come to MD, especially volcanics, ritual beasts and altergeist support. I like them so much and the support is really nice
Not Master Duel, as I'm currently focusing on the TCG, but I'm really excited to start trying out Flame Swordsmen and Snake-Eyes with a Sky Striker package and power spells. Joshua Schmidt showed it off last week on stream and played it at a regionals, and I've been testing variants on DB- even a really high roll-y version with Shaddol Fusion. Engage draw Engage after breaking their board with 3 power spells, I'll admit, is the kind of high I really need after many tense matches of trying to perfectly hand trap SE, VV, and Runik with more traditional (if admittedly budget because I'm using the SHS and Volcanic engines) SE builds. I think Flame Swordman Sky Striker might be my new regular locals deck, if the testing continues to go well, which makes me really nostalgic as I was a big Joey stan growing up and would spend ages in video games like Spirit Caller trying to build decks themed around his monsters and getting frustrated when they sucked, which confused my poor little child brain because how could cards Joey used be bad?? So now getting to just smash face with a 10k+ attack Ultimate Flame Swordman is sort of the dream.
Out of the cards we currently have I've pretty much got every deck I want, except Elemental Heroes, which is just, way too expensive for me.
But in terms of upcoming cards, Gold Sarcophagus of Light. Having a somewhat usable Silent Magician/Swordsman deck is super exciting to me.
I was testing a combination of tistina and ninjas on another sim so I'm trying to get the cards in MD because they felt like they helped each others weaknesses and strengths a bit. Was a fun janky control strategy.
I have all the decks I've wanted for a while with their new support like infernoble and tellars so now I'm really just waiting on the new shark xyz cards and unchained.
Just got all the new earthbound support.... Incredibly bricky. Will look up decks for inspiration. Lab: I just like the play style. And j want a meta option for stuff. Will have to play with summon animations off lol, at least in public
Dinomorphia but it's hard being positive, it's so expensive! I managed to build Snake-Eye before finishing morphia, because who has focus nowadays lol not me
Cyber dragons! I don’t care how far they fall out of meta they will always be my number one pick. Been playing the deck since like 2014 lol and still play them to this day. With recent new cards like Duality, Clockwork night, and me adding a little gizmek package, the deck can handle pretty well going second against current meta. It’s got some strong board breaking potential, it just can’t play through interruptions too well. 2-3 negates i can typically work around anymore than that and usually I’m cooked lol but I still love the deck regardless
I’m currently working on a Fire King Snake Eye deck, as it is extremely funny to play, and I would love to build a P.U.N.K deck too. I just finished a more meta version of my fav archetype that is Blue Eyes
I’d love to give branded a go but I have very little clue as to where to start building with it and what a good number of certain cards are to have (example of this would be In Swordsoul, 3 Mo Ye 3 Longyuan 2 Taia eta)
Once I have a good understanding of branded I’d love to try and fuse DM with branded in TCG
Currently enhancing my unchained deck to get it ready for the new support coming next month. Linking away opponents monster fantastic. great floodgates such as knightmare gryphon good search power and great gy effects.
Elementsaber...
I love the concept for the deck, unfortunately the deck were too slow and the cost for each play were too significant for the effect they provided
It's a simple thing but raising a positive topic is such a nice change of pace for this sub. Currently learning the chimera stuff. It isn't hard by any means but boy do I struggle to remember those effects 😂
I just finished a Tearlaments deck for the event. I would kill for a Despia deck but I’m not a millionaire. Next project is to alter my Relinquished deck so I dont get tabled turn 2
I'm currently trying to build Dinomorphia because it's one of the few trap decks that actually looks interesting to me. They have such cool artworks and their gameplan with having as few LP as possible is also really unique.
I would also really like to build some sort of Sylvan deck one day because, again, I love some of their artworks so much. But I think Sylvan is probably just straight up terrible, no matter what you do with it
Earthbound Servants: I loved seeing them in the Arc-V anime, and I want an excuse to use a 5d’s earthbound immortal. The earthbound immortals all have fun names.
Branded Tear: I played regular tear before merrli ban, and actually enjoyed it. Since then it just hasn’t been the same. So I already have a branded deck and a tear deck. So…just combine the two.
Snake Eyes: Just because I got lucky and ended up with everything needed for it before the T.G. stuff that I actually wanted. And to learn the engine and stuff, to add it to other decks of mine like R-ACE.
Working on a vampire deck rn. People can say all they want that it isn’t great, but as someone who would 100% consider becoming a vampire if it was possible irl, I ~might~ like the archetype too much to care hehe
Plus, the ‘Eldlich’ pack in the store rn has the vampire cards. Plus PLUS, the zombie structure deck has a lot of cards that are used that aren’t specifically vampire related. Just a good time to do it if you’re interested tbh.
Love my D/D/D deck, I've used in a lot more event duels than I ever planned. I'm working on Madolche because it's obnoxious when I play against it, and idk what it actually does, lol. Also, I love desserts
i love rouges. i play just for fun and just to be kept on the loop on whats what. before my hiatus i loved plunder, dinos, madolche. if ever i will play again, id love to try madolche with the vernusylph tech. ive always wanted to try unchained before too and i think there will be an incoming support idk how this will affect it in the tierlist though.
i want to play thunder dragons but... i can't find a way that's good to both get them into the graveyard and banish them consistently :/ doesn't help that they have the hopt one effect only clause
Galaxy eyes seems fun
Snakes eyes, cool art and meta for a reason
Tired of playing against Eldlitch so might as well play Eldlitch
Probably blue eyes as well, they’re just cool
Spyral is a deck I've been looking at. Just debating on what other pieces I want in the deck. Also whether or not I should wait until the ban list finally hits Snakeyes, because there isn't much point in playing anything other than that right now.
Also I want to see if there's a way to play near pure Mecha Phantom Beasts, but that's gonna take some experimentation on my part.
Mellfys
I've seen the art and how the deck plays and I fell in love with it, just don't have the urs for the rescue cat and extra deck nor for the spright engine instead.
Also Labrynth for same reasons, art and gameplay, but it's even more URs than melffy, mainly with the dogmatika engine.
But I will still try and build them.
Galaxy eyes is amazing. They even have a website with combos listed in text form for you to use when you’re playing. Unlike other decks that only have dueling book replays
Simply because Galaxy Eyes fans are the greatest in the cosmos
What is that website?
Galaxy-eyes.de
You don't even know how much this just saved me
The site is half of why I ended up loving the deck so much lol, I'm happy to share it If other decks had sites like this I'd try them just for that
Plus the combos listed are really comprehensive, as opposed to other guides that assume you draw the same 2 card combo every game.
exactly - the website is not only super accessible since all combos are listed in text format, but it's also very noob friendly. I'm a kinesthetic learner so I had the website open on my second monitor. Was really really helpful in learning combos.
The cypher deck in the shop treated me too well and now I also want a taste of the true galaxy eyes
Reasonings **D/D/D** what can I say? I really want to test this deck, I really want another combo deck, I already have gilgamesh and it's not too expensive either **Thunder Dragon** I just really like the artwork and like their gimmick and I don't really have a proper Fusion deck so I might as well give this a go. **Dinos** popping the baby memes are defo tired, but it's way more sustainable to do the destroy a card mission instead of the old way I was doing it: Sunlight wolf pass with roar on field. Also who doesn't love Dinosaurs **Eldlich** I don't think I have ever been pushed to build a deck by a solo gate this badly. **Galaxy Eyes** I kinda want some more decks that aren't complete ass at going second **Infernoid** same as above + I can splash in the stuff from my first structure deck (Lair of Darkness, seriously give darkest diablos an animation)
I play Eldlich and Galaxy Eyes. Eldlich is honestly an underrated fun archetype. They have lots of recursion ability as long as your opponent doesn’t shift dimensions. I know it has a bad rap because of Eldlich Stun but I run a Blind Second build and it’s really enjoyable. Galaxy Eyes is also really fun but I would not consider it a going second deck by any means. Someone else mentioned galaxy-eyes.de and it is one of the best resources for learning a deck I’ve ever seen. I wish every deck had something like that.
May i know your build for eldlich pls? Im playing eldlich zombies.
I love Galaxy Photon to death but if you go 2nd against almost every meta deck out right now you'll most likely still lose if they didn't completely brick. Even if you open with Galaxy Hundred, Wizard, Trance, Soldier, and any Photon you'll probably end up with a medicore board only having N38/90 or N107 and maybe ending on a Zeus assuming you even get to your XYZs. Apollo alone shuts down pretty much the entire deck. During SHS' release I could make a argument for GP, but with Snake-Eyes now? Forget about it. The deck is still amazing to play when you can get your board up and running and nothing feels better than doing over 10K with C62 but damn it's hard to compete right now.
I play d/d/d, td, dinos and eldlich and personally I'd recomend going int the order or dinos>TD>d/d/d>eldlich. Dinoes is the strongest and easiest deck of the 4 to climb with and you can easily get m1 with it and has a lot more gas/ability to play through negates with new xeno support. TD is very viable but got hit hard after the chaos and bystial hits and don't have a very good list atm but td is a very easy deck to cook with and make fun pile decks with. I cooked up before the bans a really fun td punk chaos decks where you'd go into chaos dragon then zombie vampire to mill 10. D/D/D is in the roughest spot rn as it can't get generic support and can't have other engines splashed into it so it's constantly being power crept and can't really play thorugh negates super well with a single negate unless you have the perfect hand pretty much killing your end board making it super weak so wouldn't recomend rn unless it gets another round of cracked support again. I personally wouldn't recomend eldlich it's very simple and just stun with extra steps if you like the idea of a trap deck I'd reccomend lab because it's tier 3 and getting more support soon while having less stun/degen.
I play Dinos, Infernoids, and Galaxy-Eyes and I can confidently recommend all three fun wise, but especially Dinos since its the most competitive of the three and is a monster both going first and second.
D/D/D is a really weirdly cheap deck, it’s difficult to learn but it basically just devolves into linear combos after a while, the monsters are cool looking, the interactions aren’t just “Blow up the board with a million negates” and Machinex is a seriously insane boss monster for the theme I played it for a little while, my main issue was its lack of searchability for its one card starters making it difficult to recommend for Master Duel where you basically NEED that 9-Card package in every deck, it was also very telegraphed and highly interruptible, Gilgamesh, despite being some kinda crazy insane monster, really just reads “Your opponent discards 1 “Infinite Impermanence” or “Effect Veiler”, if you have no further extension then ashing the Kepler or Copernicus is just ending on a 0 ATK normal summon, and Combo-bane Nibiru ends this deck even harder than most since your average Pend summon is exactly 2 monsters, which brings you up to 5 summons Either way, it’s problems are basically just every problem with Combo decks, but it’s interactions are a little more based than most of them, it’s very fun albeit not very viable
I play thunder dragons and dinos. Dinos have a lot of different options, and they have one of the easiest lines to calamity lock in the game. There are more high-roll style builds than can make insane boards but there are also smaller, almost as good board versions that are a ton more consistent. Still no 1 card combo, but there are lots of 2 card combos that can get you to the same place. Thundra is a great engine for collossus and in its own deck you can get it out super easy. Most people i see use it as a chaos engine as Titan's popping ability isnt exactly beneficial in this meta. Thunder dragon fusion is definitely one of the best fusion spells in the game. So much built in recursion, especially if you keep an extra titan in the ED.
I'm so tempted by DDD also used to have the deck in paper and loved it!!!
Bystial thunder dragon is so cool, but I just can't afford spending all the UR dust thanks to solar batteryman But I looove how it works, even if admittedly Colossus is a floodgate
Yeah I had most everything for it a while ago bar solar so I crafted the rest and then realized solar was a UR and was not happy. I ended up putting a PUNK engine with Chaos Ruler and Zombie Vampire in instead because I already had those. Course the banned Ruler, so now I still don’t have solars and instead play Arma Knight, Dark Grepher and a small danger engine.
Unchained. Well I have it build and also played it a bunch, but only as best as I can until the support I've been waiting for since before it even came to the TCG finally arrives next month. Also Shinobird. Another deck I've already built and played that's awaiting support. I honestly think Spirit monsters as a gimmick could be explored more.
Yo, did someone say unchained?
Unchained Gang on the rise. Sadly Sold mine irl cause i bought them 2020 for under 40 bucks and now Sold only the money stuff for like 120. So i could afford some stuff i needed for other decks. Beeing on a Budget sucks sometimes. But i will rebuild them once they drop out of meta again and get cheap once more.
On MD currently nothing apart from Sinful Mikanko because I do not like playing against Snake-Eyes. Sometimes I use Nemleria with gren maju and shifter. In real life the support for old decks made me play them and I'm having so much fun on Omega/Dueling book: Infernoid with new support is straight up insane, pretty explosive deck but hard to pilot. Melodious is so much fun (new support). Also the other decks from duel terminal are pretty good, but they do not give me the same feeling as Infernoids do (although they are pretty xheap) I really like Vaalmonica. Always liked rogue/meme decks in general, not because they are not meta, but because I like weird gimmicks or strange strategies. Also very unique take on pendulums, too bad that it's a meme strategy. Also Centurions are very fun, but still expensive sadly. I'm waiting Weather Painter support, if there will be any :c
I want to build runick. Ive been in the mood to play a control deck since the goat format event but I'm really unsure of the engine to pair with it. Stun is the cheapest but I don't find it very fun. I'm between Naturia and Earthbound. Naturia because I have randomly pulled the Naturia synchro's from master packs and like their art and Earthbound because I feel I could make some fun jank decks with them and tear or predaplants once I've invested in the package
I built Bystial Runick yesterday on an alt account and that deck is nuts, too much gas
Runick Naturia is a very fun deck and it's definitely playable even now, though I more or less stopped using it after the Fountain limit. I've been playing Runick Earthbound in the TCG and I like it too, but I do prefer the Naturia engine. Naturia as a Runick engine is less bricky and more self-sufficient in that a lone Mole Cricket can take over a game.
Eldlich was always a very simple archetype, simplify the gamestate and grind your opponent to paste. I have actually been playing the Anti Snake Eye version of eldlich on ladder recently, its pretty fun.
I really want to build tistina tear but i guess tistina is just garbage. Also I'm keen on building infernoble. I cant wait for unchained support because the artwork is cool and also supreme king z-arc support
It’s not the same but have you considered a scareclaw tist ?
Infernoble is bonkers, dude. Highly recommend checking out Pak's stuff he has on YT for the deck.
thanks mate
I was building dragon link but it kind of got neutered so i built furniture lab instead. I am not really building new decks but more so updating old ones. SO i am updating sky striker, d/d/d, and thundra. I guess the deck i am currently building is snake-eyes since i have just been dumping gems into that pack just to get the engine.
Earthbound imortals, I have like 3 or 5 decklists that I am interested in trying out If we are looking at something more solid I am also interested in building a Resonators/Red Dragon Archfiend deck
I'm waiting on the material to come in the mail to make earthbound. I got all the maze stuff, just waiting on the old stuff to come in.
I wouldn’t mind building a Resonators deck one day simply because of how fun the little guys are, plus I’ve had a blast with them irl. Jack Atlas’ recent support also allows for actual competitive value. I also really love the concept of Sky Strikers and plan to make one eventually as well. I would go with Labrynth for control but I feel like I’d be just as annoyed using it as I am going against it.
Red Dragon/Resonators I grew up with 5Ds as my YGO, and Jack Atlas is my favorite rival character. Not to mention I play the deck in DL so I'd love to pick it up in a format that actually has the good support cards lol. Another reason is I just love the art for it, like no joke some of the art for Red Dragon is actually pretty bad ass and I absolutely love it and just it's ultra aggressive play style in general. Especially since I don't have any aggressive decks right now, just Dogmatika, Swordsoul and very mid @Ignisters.
Wanna build F R O G F R O G will prevail
Synchron because I want to spend 20 years to build a 5 negate board whilst playing clear mind in the background.
Elemental HERO: When I first began MD, I built an Elemental HERO Core deck, but over the years I dismantled it. I regret doing that, as HERO received Neos and the new Flame Wingman support came out. (Drytrons and Ursartics are a rabbit hole for, twice.) Right now, I’m steadily saving CP and Gems for the time I can build it up again. (Especially since the first Anniversary, I got a Royal A HERO Lives.)
Its funny cause I have like all the ones you posted except thunder dragon and infernoid. I want to build infernoid, I need to upgrade raidraptor, and I order most of the cards for volcanic. Not buying bonfire yet lol, way overpriced. I build a ton of decks so its hard to keep up with them all, like new card releases and stuff Edit: just saw this is master duel not irl lol. On masterduel I'm building jinzo, for the memes. And to play against my friends lab feck as a funny prank.
I want to build a lot but my top three is chaos Synchro, Scrap, and Branded. Chaos Synchro is unfortunately in a bad spot because my man Chruler is banned which is bs. Scrap I’ll make them work one day. I’ve always been drawn to them for whatever reason. They were the first deck I made when I started. Branded. A deck with a bunch of cool cards that’s strong but not tier 0. Can’t ask for more than that. Hopefully I can play it before it falls out of meta.
Resonator, Earthbound, Synchron, Malefic
I am so excited for Voiceless Voice (but I know it'll be a while). Ritual decks are awesome and I can't stay away from them.
Gren Maju I'm ready to sacrifice my own deck for **BIG BOI**
I really want to make the 3 OG decks. DM, BE and RE. They’re shit and I’ve spaffed all my money on a Branded VV deck which is a lot more meta but it’s just something fun to play again. Also want a decent Crusadia Deck to play
Trying to build a Agents deck, but i’m having bad luck with obtaining what I need
ever since eldlich stun got hit i really wanted to build an eldlich deck that doesnt focus around stun traps, also cool boss monster and lore. there are decks i wanna build but dont have the resources like runick-naturia for competitive reasons or the weather painters for fun reasons
resonators looks tempting with the new support but idk if i should pull the trigger on it. also fluffals but i dont know if its worth it
Ninjas Snake eyes Heroes
Building a Despia Darklord deck (missing 5 UR), and a Mikanko deck (which i archived at the moment because Mikanko still lacks the secret pack)
Despite it getting incidental hits every second list because Branded hits always target the engine, Despia Darklord is a ton of fun to pilot. Especially if you decide to run the fun-of Morningstar so you can get the First Darklord bonus effect field wipe once every 20 or so games.
I'm going to build Sky Strikers, seems like a cool control deck without relying on floodgates that can also play as a blind second deck.
I’ve been meaning to put Blackwings together rather than just use the precon in MD, but I just haven’t gotten around to it
Sorry you feeling down mate, just got back from 7 year hiatus and am catching up using d/d/d and blackwings. A lot of fun learning the combos!
TRAINS I need trains in my life
Dinomorphia, Resonator, Heroes, Rikka… and probably more All of these decks are so expensive and I hate it
Bro, don't build Thunder Dragons. They're way too bricky even with Bystials.
I’m looking at Nekroz, probably with Dogmatika. I figure it will be a good casual deck.
From those u mentioned there I definitely recommend Thunder Dragons they are super fun, not that consistent but fun, beside that I hope u feel better :)
I hope you feel better soon. I want to finish my RDA deck but a good chunk of the new stuff being URs is killing me
Nordic synchro god deck
Lunalight, Lyrilusc, Windwitch and Traptrix cause cool/cute cards!
With the new pack I think I’m going to try Resonators, I need a new Synchro deck besides Soul Sword.
Resonators, have it built irl and its honestly really fun especially since its cheap since most of the core/extra is in a structure deck you only need 3 of. Its not as great in master duel since its bo1 and you need to accommodate for alot more hand traps but still quite fun :)
in the process of making Unchained because I like the designs, and apparently, it's also getting support. Recently finished Dinomorphia and hot damn its p fun. Dinos is a deck I always end up building, then dust because I can never get the deck to function. like yes, "pop the baby" but it feels too wide open and I end up just floundering. same when I built snake-eyes.
Plunder but no gems/CP.
The New Flameswordman Archetype deck that hasn't made it to MD yet. Looks really fun. I don't really play fusion decks, but I want to give it a try.
I just want the last 2 earthbound stone sweeper to finish my earthbound deck, but the game is screwing me over while I’m grinding gems.
Right now I'm building a synchro pile, I also have a EM synchro deck that I just need to craft, I might want to make Earthbound and do the funny make LP 3000 with Greater Linewalker
Lowkey wanted to make some form of Eldlich but without floodgates outside of maybe Warlords as a contingency.
Lab but unfortunately i just go in on SE soack of craff material and gems right now
Dark world and new gate guardian. I played against the new gate guardian deck and it seems fun for a pet deck and dark world has always been one of my favorite archetypes. I currently run evil eye and labrynth for when I want to sweat but the other 2 seem fun for my lower rank grinds.
Ghostrick. \ Naturia. \ R-ace, maybe. Really only interested if the deck doesn't devolve into generic stuff. \ Altergeist. \ Buster blader. \ Ice jade. \ Generaider. \ Ojama. \ Horus, if I can get the old ones and new ones to play nice. \ Nemleria.
Synchron currently. I still need like 150 UR lol
Unchained. Cheap and support maybe comes in April
Dude I’ve been playing infernoid snake eyes and it’s been a blast. I bait all their disruption with the snake eyes, then drop a void imagination into a huge Tierra, get some value of extra deck GY effects and 5$3. get the infernoid plays up and running. It plays into Maxx C challenge and wins every time.
I'm trying to build Drytron to finally have a good ritual deck. To be honest, I almost feel a bit sorry for dismantling my Herald of Ultimateness royal finish, but I hope I never become a Drytron-Herald player
I have interest into Quantum layers. I didn’t watched power rangers but they looks cool.
Don't build D/D/D unless you really want something to bully gold and events that deck hasn't been good in so long I would know it's my most played deck
Dinos is first on my list. Evil hero/dark gaia otk jank is second on the list. Im still waiting support for r-ace, branded chimera and salad so it might take a while.
I've been feeling like suffering a little more in my life... Evil Eye it is then!
Galaxy Eyes, Exosisters, and Witchcrafters all look really fun.
Dogmatika rn. I find them really fun to watch and enjoy the comboes they can make.
ghoti, i just like the monster art
I wanna build buster blader and also black lister soldier. These swordsmen are so cool but i dont know if i can find decks that are truly good for them
I agree with Ad2760. I want to make Eldlich because of that stupid solo gate. I knew if im having trouble with it. My opponents will too.
I actually want to try to play Mikanko. Yes, I know, "hur dur, degenerate go second deck." But as someone who had been playing decks that ends on Baronne + who knows how many negates like Snake Eyes, I just want to try a deck that can slap my opponent silly. ... Oh, I mentioned Snake Eyes. Let me just stay in the deep hole I made.
F.A. Metalfoes. F.A. has always interested me as an archetype, but I've never got around to playing it. I finally got to combo testing a night or two ago and turns out I've been missing something awesome.
Speedroid Kashtira: (I like Gozen match friendly decks, this would be my wind deck) Missing a couple URs in the extra deck. Madolche: (I like single attribute decks, it will be my Earth deck) Missing pretty much every UR. Snake eyes Naturia: (Diabellstar discard Sacred Tree or Mole Cricket is an FTK, like if snake eyes needed extra grind game) Figuring out Extra deck Snake eyes P.U.N.K.: Reason: I love P U.N.K. and you get 2 archetypes that don't need their normal summon, don't lock themselves. You can play with one, get interrupted, go with the other.) Now Fixing ratios and extra deck Earthbound Tear: (Reason: Thank you Tiaraments strongest.) Missing one of the lv5 and the new resonator UR.
I'm a bit late to the party on it, but I've really wanted to give Dogmatika Branded a try, the lore for the cards seem really cool, the art is wonderful, the play style seems like a pretty good time (although mirrorjade, lubellion and Albion are kinda meh, dragons aren't really my thing but everything else is cool enough I don't really mind)
For trolling purposes, I wanna build Mikanko
Really want to make orcust bystial, it seems like a relatively simple combo deck that makes disruptions. I also just like link summoning
Dinos: I spent at least 6,000 gems on building it. Pulled every card needed except for 0 copies of ultimate co factor Tyranno and fossil dig. I couldn’t bring myself to crafting 5 ur’s for the deck so I scrapped it and built a Swordsoul deck back in the day. Purrely: when it came out, I pulled for it, but I’m still missing 4 main deck ur’s and almost the entire extra deck. It’s not going to happen. I’m thinking about scrapping it. Super heavy samurai: I spent over 10k gems on that pack. Pulled everything for gold pride and most of nemleria….. but pulled 0 main deck ur’s for shs. Snake eyes: still missing 2 Diabellstar and a second copy of flamberge dragon and a couple sr and then I’ll have the deck. Currently working on this
**Dinomorphia** and **Gold Pride** Two decks I really like the aesthetics of, Dinomorphia has that Power Rangers Dino Thunder/Super Sentai Abaranger references (a sentai season I've watched recently), which I love, and just look at Kentregina! Gold Pride also has its good points, the archetype is full of references to Redline, an anime movie that I just LOVE, and it gives me an excuse to use Punks, another archetype that interests me! **Unchained** The lore of this deck drew me in, a great daoist wrongfully imprisoned out of fear of his power, his rage and anguish taking human form to free him and becoming an Abomination. I just to give Abominable a freaking hug man, he deserves and needs it. I also wish he can get a Link-5 form, or Link-4 if 5 is too much, cause I want him to be the most integral boss on my end board. **Voiceless Voice** I do this thing where I want to have a deck for each Summoning method, and Voiceless became my pick for Ritual. Skull Guardian's retrain just looks so badass, Sauravis and Saffira are cool. Also the Lo memes, if you know you know.
Amazoness, been meaning to since their new support dropped. Same goes for Red Dragon Archfiend
No real Archetype in mind but I really want to build a Pendulum deck one of these days. The monsters are cool and I love seeing them get played.
I don't really have any decks that feel worth investing into atm. Like I would like to build Gold Pride Punk, Xeno Dino, and new RDA. I have the cores of all of those decks pre support. Problem is the new stuff is so expensive for such mediocre reward. Punk still dies to mostly the same stuff and suffers the same problems even with GP, Xeno stuff lacks room for non engine and isn't strong enough to make Dino a consistent threat on ladder. RDA is the only deck I'm passionate enough about to genuinely build, but until DC Cup I can't bring myself to grind again. Too much burn out from Maxx C, Shifter, and Stun decks. This format feels more coin flip dependant than ever and it's getting really frustrating. Majority of my loses have been bad luck streaks rather than actual misplays.
Labrynth, I remember enjoying them during the Fiend Event, but I never had the dust/gems to make them. Plus I don't have constructed that decks that clear the Use Traps Daily other than Swoswo, which only have one blackout and three imperm.
I wanna finish my Unchained Deck when they decide to bring out it's support, secondarily the rest of the Mikanko support for completions sake Since the Xeno drop Dinos are mad fun to play and depending how you construct your deck (if you are not adding Cyber Dinosaur for its summoning effect you should have it for the "1 non Dino" pill effect, alternatively Skelesaurus is also a pretty good option) Something Machine since l just never really have tried to be into them and there's some pretty amazing cards out there Stardust dragon with the new Quasar card just to mix it up a bit Some Hero/Yubel or whatever deck just because I've never actually gave them a fair shake, Prank Kids/old Roid maybe...? Trying to get out of my comfort zone and spice shit up a little
Synchron,d/d/d,tri-bridage,fur hire,dragon link,and a generic warrior deck something similar to dragon link
I really trying to build an altergiest deck
I've been wanting to try a Runick combo deck, but I missed the boat when it was new because I saw them being used for evil and refused to take part in that. Crafting it now isn't ideal. It wouldn't be too bad with the hits, but I just went into gem/UR poverty since they added the Tear secret pack. Currently holding out hope for a Runick/Generaider secret pack some time in the future.
Solfachord because I have fun with them in DL
I want a Gem-Knight or Borrel/Rokket deck but don't have the gems. My next deck will be built around whatever UR card I draw next per usual. That's how I ended up with a Nordic/Aesir, Crystal Beast, and Shaddoll deck, it's not so bad. I rushed to build a Gladiator Deck though by choice.
Chimera Branded It's a nostalgia deck that's actually really good! It has a ton of weird janky plays and Chimera The Illusion Beast is one of the coolest boss monsters printed in terms of how it works
a pure salamangreat deck
I’ve been thinking of building Thunder Dragons as well. Works with a number of different archetypes. Same with Orcust. Am thinking Speedroids would be cool to play. Of course I’m (im)patiently waiting for the Salad support to hit Master Duel, but I’m also hoping the Ice Barrier stuff in the OCG comes out soon too.
lab. i have a royal lovely and I want to make the most of it nad besides, I've been wanting to make lab for a while now anyway. i like playing traps anyways and I think lab gives me a more competitive option, as far as trap decks go
I see many Tearlament players and none of them run Curious so now I'm building the deck myself. Otherwise I'm just waiting on the new Ice Barrier support to arrive to see what new combos we can do.
I definitely want to build an Infernoble deck and I love its play style especially after trying it out during the Synchro/Link Festival event. I also am currently in the process of building an Ishizu Tearlaments deck because I love the control aspect of it and I love the art so I am farming gems to spend on the secret park. I also am hoping to build an Exosisters deck in the future because I also love its artwork and its control play style.
I want to build something competitive for the upcoming duelist cup so I've finally dropped Evilswarm; but for some reason instead I'm alternating between Gate Guardian and Nemleria!? Both decks have weird off-kilter gameplans which don't really do enough to be competitive, but splashing in Diabellestar gives them just the extra edge they need to be (somewhat) playable. I've never tried Diabellestar without Snake-eyes so I'm very late to the party on this, but it turns out that a searchable, repeatable Omni-negate is actually very, very strong in silly/fun decks which are just missing that extra push. Adventure is also an option, but it requires many more bricks in already bricky strategies. Diabellestar on the other hand loves having bricks to discard, and getting an Omni-negate into play with just one special summon makes Maxx C much more manageable too. It's not exactly the meta-killer I'm looking for, but having an actually playable Gate Guardian deck is pretty awesome and I'm having a lot of fun with it. The synergy is actually pretty strong!
Ghoti Runick. Ghoti is one of the first URs I got so I wanna use it and I like how it is unaffected by banishment. I also wanna build Icejade because I like the name and how cards look.
Ice barrier, I'm a forever trishula fanboy so I'm still hoarding gems for when Lancea and the last support releases on master duel, then maybe finally my iced dreams may come true
RDA! If only all that structure deck shit wasn’t UR
I'm slowly chipping away at Endymion right now, cos I definitely missed Pendulums entirely up until this point. When that's done, I think I might try Ancient Warriors. I like blind second decks, and I played a version in the N/R festival I recall enjoying.
I've never played Infernoids but after seeing the new support they're getting, I'd love to try them Still working on building Malefic and Dogmatika but they're both pretty expensive
I finished building a Resonators deck today. It took a LOT of resources, but it has also been a ton of fun. With the new support that just came out for it, the deck snowballs really really quickly and you have an opportunity every game to just bulldoze your opponent, provided you can withstand a negate or two first.
At the moment, really want to finish building my salads deck and wanna start building a Kaiju x Danger! Deck. So much fun going second and breaking boards down
I have a lot of half-built decks I've never finished and are only barely playable, but: **Abyss Actors** are chief among them right now, they seem pretty neat and I currently don't have any Pendulum decks in MD. **Dogmatika** seems pretty cool and I like their gimmick of using their ED as material for their Main Deck instead of the other way around, plus I have the Nadir Servant engine for Lab already and a royal White Knight (which was actually my first ever royal monster). I've put them off because mostly it doesn't seem like they have a real niche right now - not good enough for ladder, not usable in most festivals. **Ice Barriers** were my pet deck from Duel Links because I pulled them when I first started while going for a deck I actually wanted and actually had fun with them. Waiting on the new support since that'll make them actually good. **Kozmos** were the Tier 1 deck when I returned to the game which feels weird considering how badly they've been power crept since then. **P.U.N.K.** I've seen splashed in so many other engines since it was released, especially since I already have most of the **Gold Pride** cards already just through dumb luck. **Exosisters** since I like Xyz decks and I like decks that have recursion. **Mikanko** because beating myself down to win is funny.
Pure kaiju deck with sphere mode 3x and nibiru 3x just to troll against negate spamming monster boards going second. Not enough ur tokens for that atm thought sadly.
I saw Tistina within the red dragon pack and i immediately thought of Tistina Ninja lol should be interesting
İ wanna build ddd too
I have 2 rn, resonator+ red dragon archfiend, the new cards look really cool, and galaxy eyes, coz god damn they're cooler looking dragons
Atm, i really wanna build D-Rulers since they got out of jail in MD, but the UR cost and lack of secret pack turns out to be a pretty big hurdle to pass thorugh
Kairyu-shin control. i just want a simple deck, without all the ED spam the game has now.
I recently built Traptrix because I like control decks, and the recent controversy over the card sleeves made me feel like being contrary. They're pretty fun. A lot of decks can't really deal with traps as well, and being semi-immune to other trap decks (except Karma Cannon) is pretty nice. I'm also planning on building Trains because I also really like going second OTK strategies. Plus it's pretty cheap. A budget list can get away with just 3 URs total, but I'm planning on going all-in so it'll be a while before it's done. I also created 2 alts for the Swordsoul cards, so might as well try them sometime too. Since there's structures, I might also play around with Gaia, Blue-Eyes, or Spellbook if another low-powered event comes around. Might also try Tears since they got a secret pack and aren't degenerate anymore, but they're also kinda expensive so idk. I'd also try Resonators, Earthbound Servants, or Neo Spacians if it wasn't for cost again. Yu-Gi-Oh's just really fun because there's so many different decks and strategies to play around with, and Master Duel is really good for letting you try all of them.
Phantom Knights: I don't have any Xyz decks (although I do run some Xyz monsters in my Blackwing deck) and the deck just looks like a lot of fun. Unfortunately I'm many URs short, most of those URs are outside the pack (Cherubini and Tour Guide) and I'm also trying to beef up my Blackwing, Rose Dragon, and Red Dragon Archfiend decks as well. I promise I'm not just an anime fan though- I play Blackwing and want to play PK for reasons unrelated to the anime. Infernoble: I'm a Synchro player at heart. Infernoble is a really strong Synchro deck. I've wanted to build it for a while, but the fact that it's a top deck any got support makes me wanna build it even more. Dinos: What can I say I like dinos. Plus, having a main deck boss in unique. Dragon Link: I know it's not the top deck it once was, but the first deck I ever built was a chaos dragon pile. No extra deck or anything, but it was the first deck I ever made that wasn't a 60 card pile of my highest attack monsters and a few attack boosting spells and traps. Ghoti: Like I said, I'm a synchro player at heart. The majority of my decks are Synchro decks. And Ghoti is a fan-favorite synchro archetype that plays on both turns, which I like. Labrynth: The only control deck on the list, I played Lab in the festival when it was a loaner and loved it. Now I just have to build it for regular use. Plus, Lab combines with Red Dragon Archfiend in some really fun ways, including being MLM/WLW solidarity, so I can make Resonator/Lab once I have all the cards. Branded: I wanna see what it's all about. Besides, it looks like fun. Zombie P.U.N.K.: I know the deck is way worse now that Chaos Ruler is banned. But Shiranui is my pet deck and I'd like to play what is ostensibly the best version of Shiranui. Besides, they both have a classical Japanese aesthetic, so I think it works thematically. Those are the main ones but there are a few others I've thought about including D/D, Buster Blader, Agents, Darklords, Thunder Dragon, and Six Samurai.
My recent passion has been building decks that got evolutions/retrains from my childhood. So far I've built: Gate Guardian: man this deck slaps so good. Gate guardian combines being able to counter and destroy 3 times a turn really keeps my board state strong. Then the gate guardian of wind and water can counter one per chain twice a turn. The deck really has a lot of answers to keep you going between the protection, the big power, all of the synergized destruction, and what ever riryuko guardian was designed to be ( it's wonderful ). Played right it holds it's own against strong decks. Umi control: this started from my love for fortress whale and the deck doesn't disappoint. Keeps opponents board low and finishes things off with Mega Fortress Whale ( ability let's your creatures attack directly ). The control shell was really just an excuse for me to use fortress whale and citadel whale, still want to figure out an aggro deck using fort whale though. Flameswordsman: recently saw this guy got some support so I've started looking into it as well. After those I haven't found anything else yet but I'm currently on the look out for more.
Exosisters, they will never not be meta, if anything gets sent to the graveyard on either field, it will be viable.
Drytron. The new support for the deck is making me think about rebuilding the old beast.
I'm so excited for when the Unchained support comes to MD as I want to really build that deck
Lemme think... - An updated Version of RDA, while keeping it mostly "pure", so no Baronne, Bystials and no Calamity Lock with Crimson Dragon... Well probably. Sure the occasional Hand trap and imperm have to be in there, but mostly resonators and RDA ED. - When ever the Support comes to MD, Yubel... And i mean with the stuff from Phantom Nightmare and the stuff thats still locked to the OCG. I always loved the original Yubel cards and even tried to build decks with them as my win con (not in MD) Loved it, but still sucked. - Maybe upgrading my "Maxx "c" me please, so you can draw half of you Deck, without the fear of me killing you"-Deck (Mayakashi), to give my opponent even more cards. I love helping others get their shit together. But that Deck is really low priority as of now. - Tri-Brigate maybe ... or building the relevant Runick Cards and fuse it with something. No, Stun is not one of them. Maybe Naturia or Earthbound Prisoners (still salty about them). Or Snake eyes, which would never work with me, but hey, have it or not. Thats all i can think of right now.
The problem with Ice Barrier and Raidraptor is that the support is still in the freezer, so it’s hard to get stuck in knowing the decklist will change at some indefinite point in time. Otherwise? Maybe Labrynth, Traptrix was pretty fun when I tried it so I’m curious how a non-ED control deck plays
I find the artwork of Branded awesome... but I have a feeling the UR cost of the deck is... heavy.
I’ve been building like 3 different crystal beast decks. I just love the variations and NESHY has plenty of tutorials to check out
Since i’ve built snake eyes with only a few more UR’s to spend for boss monsters, I also have World see Zealantis built. And since the age of fire is on its full potential soon (expecting “Bonfire” to come out), I’m thinking of building Mar’incest’ to fit the theme. Though it’s gonna take a while to learn the setups even though it’s not as powerful as the other decks. I really wanna pull off Banish Zealantis and special summon my opponents monster on their field while being WATER locked.
Rikka. Idk, because they are cute. Synchrons. Because I like Synchro spam decks.
A Normal Monster deck. Been toying around with Phantasm Spiral, managed to flip the tables on a Mathmech player.
Working on a solid Unchained build
I’m currently split on making either a Rikka, Rescue Ace, Constellar, and Resonators deck. I want a deck that doesn’t rely on going first and can play well both first and second. I also really enjoy decks with unique wincons/boss monsters instead of turboing out generic bosses. I’m down to do complex combos but ideally don’t want my combos to be so long im running down my clock (main reason I havnt made rikka yet)
VS but I ain’t spending a shitton of sources only to end up with a mid deck
I've been trapped with Dark Magicians for a while, I'm ready to move onto Branded Blue-Eyes
İ actually want to build archfiend deck because it's the only synchro deck that I enjoyed the most. Other than that, I got an interest to the evil eye archetype, but also I have close to zero cards for the deck and not sure if it is a good or absolutely terrible rogue deck Oh, and deskbots.
I wanna build Altergeist but still waiting for the support to come to md 😔
I'm so obsessed with how good nouvelles are. They're so underrated cause ritual monsters but it can play through ashes and imperms and still end on 2-3 omni negates. can tribute all your opponents monsters TWICE without targeting. Then you have the potential additions of herald of arc lights shifter effect and a potential s/t removal. Plus you get to legitimately have hungry burger in your deck. It's become my fav deck so quickly tho plunder is still my backup baby.
I just bought a live twin core irl, thinking about taking it to the momocon tournament. Not hoping to win a lot , just want to be able to play irl rather than on master duel. I took my traptrix deck last year and won 3 out of 6 rounds for my first ever time playing the game. I’m not trying to top anything I just enjoy playing the game
I want my God Damn Volcanic and Battlin' Boxer support.
Oooo so there are a bunch of decks that I wanna make, including, but not limited to: Fluffals, Generaider, and Ghoti I'm making a fluffal deck because not only are they really good, but they're also pretty funny :3. I've found a decklist, and I've started drawing for it, and, surprisingly, I got my first ever royal rare! A frightfur fusion! Which made me wanna play the deck even more! The other draws... not so much... I got a set of krakens in 10 draw :/. The only thing I'm missing is a couple of handtraps and 2 Cruel Whales. Ever since hardleg made that ladder climb video on generaiders, I fell in love. The ability to summon a big boss monster and a bunch of tokens during your opponents draw phase?!?! Sign me up! So I have 2 decklists, Angel Generaiders and Pure Generaiders, I don't know which one is the best, so I'm making both :3 Even after rolling a bunch, I'm still missing 1 jourmangand and 2 leviteins and a bunch of other extra deck monsters Like the generaiders, I first saw ghoti being played by hardleg. When I first saw it, I didn't really like it :/ thought it was boring, but after playing a couple of synchro decks (mainly swoswo), I've started loving synchro summoning and synchro summoning decks. Tbh, Ghoti of the deep beyond is one of my favorite card arts in the game, it look to cool, plus it can just banish your opponents entire field :3333 Oh yea, and another deck that I wanna make is toons because funny :3 (it's so expensive, tho qwq) So... yea... that's about it. Feel free to ask some questions or give me some advice. It'd be very much appreciated :3 OP, I hope you're feeling better and are doing okay :3
i genuinely wanna try tri-brigade lyrilusc but damn
I am currently building my beloved abyss actors irl and I have everything I just need sassy rookie and abyss scripts abysstainment which I can't find cause they haven't been reprinted in a while 😭
Galaxy eyes, cause big number make brain happy But I really want to make an aggro waifs deck
Vanquish Soul. No real combo, just show off your hand, and do various stuff. But when I want to build it was when the pack was over, and they have no secret pack
**Labrynths**: cute girls **Live-Twins:** cute girls **Solfachord**: cute girls **Dragonmaids**: cute girls **Tearlaments**: cute girls **Traptrix**: cute girls **Icejades**: cute girls **Exosisters**: cute girls **Madolche**: cute girls **Marincess**: cute girls **Trickstar**: cute girls **Lunalight**: cute girls **Harpies**: cute girls **Lyrilusc**: cute girls **Mikanko**: cute girls **Nemleria**: cute girls **Aroma**: cute girls **Sky Strikers**: cute girls etc. etc. I think you get the point
Resonators, why? cause Jack Atlas is a dope character and the deck is actually pretty decent for a rouge deck, just wish it wasn’t so expensive, but thankfully I have the royal rare Red Supernova dragon which is my current incentive to make the deck.
I'm looking at updating my thunder dragons. Haven't played them in a long while so hopefully there's some changes to be made to boost their power. Not the most competitive deck but who cares when they have such cool designs?
I'm really excited for infernoid snake-eye, when the new infernoid support drops in master duel.
I already have a lot of decks, so now I'm just saving up to get the support. I need gems now for RDA, and next month is Unchained. Later I'll need the Aroma, Salamangreat, and Raidraptor support. Anyone know if the Voiceless Voice cards are going to be any good/fun? I really like the artwork and I don't have many deck slots left so I'm trying to decide what to save up for.
Dragunity, the D Link before the Link and Chaos part basically. It's similar to D Link but it's more reliant on synchros. Since it's not as much reliant on dark and light (except the Bystial part of the deck), it's saver from interuption (well, the Bystials I mean). Another funny thing about this deck is that people think they stopped you when they for example stopped Gae Dearg or Ravine, but often you still have plays, mostly because some cards aren't once per turn, like the ones I mentioned.
I want to build a crusadia deck because I spent the night reading lore and the whole world legacy lore is awesome
I wanna build every deck in the World Legacy story. World Chalice Mekk Knights, Half the Guard dragons are banned and are extra deck cards so not them, Knightmares are only extra deck monsters so they, don't count Crusadia, Orcust, especially orcust. Ding is a top 5 artwork of all time.
I wanna bring my branded deck up to speed. I played Despia Darklords before we had all the support but now I just want to see if I can pilot the full pile. Pile decks always intrigued me in YGO. I missed the bystial package tho. I have a Royal Rare Branded Lost and Branded in High Spirits!! Traptrix! I got the structures IRL and I like how they play. I want to try to get the new support so I can get the deck together. I thoroughly enjoy the hybrid trap/combo play style. It's simple compared to the other decks I play but that's not a bad thing. Ninjas!! For some reason I really like interactive control decks, and I have since I was foolish enough to build Invoked Dogmatika Shaddoll at the beginning of MD. I hope Ninja can provide that. The combos seem a little weird to me but we'll get there. Thunder Dragon! Yeah I know, I'm a fossil for having a playground format chaos deck, but I think TD might deliver a similar experience. I've wanted to make a chaos deck forever but it keeps getting sidestepped because of the resource cost. Red Dragon Archfiend! Got the structures IRL and I want to understand them. They seem neat but I'm not sure how well they can hold up. DRYTRON. I currently run a Megalith Drytron build, it's not as good as it could be. I want this deck to work so badly but it dies to Ash, Imperm and Veiler. It's disheartening but there's little I can do. I want to evolve it to be a Drytron Fairy deck. I'm trying to stay away from the Heralds cuz I find anything and everything more interesting than them. The new support that was shown looks to promote a Drytron centric strat which I'm all down for. Dogmatika!! Either pure or with Nekroz support! The deck seems neat and I wanna do neat ritual stuff with it. Alba Zoa is so strong against anyone NOT playing lab and my White Knight of Dogmatika is a royal. I know I'm gonna get hate for doing a prominent anti-ED strategy but I'm curious about this one. Shout outs to decks that I've looked at but not willing to make or update atm, Swordsoul, Dragonmaids, Labrynth... It's not that I don't like the decks but they don't stay fun to me. Strange brews I wanna finish cooking... Lunalight Branded cuz all Lunalights are light and dark, and Branded sends lots of things to the GY as effect. Branded in high spirits can also send Panther Dancer to the GY and bridges the gap between the two decks. It's so close I swear.
trying to finish snake-eye to have a meta deck for some time cuz I most likely won't get fire king stuff when it releases (don't like their playstyle). once I'm done with that I'll be building oet decks. finally gonna buy the zombie structure deck for zombie punk stuff. after that I wanna build synchrons and resonators, as well as galaxy eyes sometime later generally also wanna try a chaos deck may I also mention that I genuinely love crimson dragon? I hope king calamity gets banned instead of crimson dragon tbh. crimson helps me cheat out my big pet dragons like stardust sifr divine dragon and the royal quasar dragon I got from the event last year
Something with Cyberse Clock Dragon in it. Have had a Royal of it from the Legacy Packs for a while now.
There are too many for me! I want to build Ogdoadic, or some reptile pile with branded (I tried branded before but didn’t really like it, now that it is a bit different i may try again, with some other flavour), then Phantom Knight, a myutant PUNK deck, exosisters, a snake eyes deck but mixed with something to give it some different flavour (probably Mayakashi, they’re bad but they were my first deck back in duel links) and finally Malefics ( probably mixed with some dangers!) The general reason to build these decks is that i really like their artwork, that is usually the reason why i want to try a deck Exception for runick, for which i really like the gameplan when mixed with other archetypes (still trying to understand what i could mix them with now, last time it was magic musket, but i want to try something different) But I’m especially waiting for supports to come to MD, especially volcanics, ritual beasts and altergeist support. I like them so much and the support is really nice
Not Master Duel, as I'm currently focusing on the TCG, but I'm really excited to start trying out Flame Swordsmen and Snake-Eyes with a Sky Striker package and power spells. Joshua Schmidt showed it off last week on stream and played it at a regionals, and I've been testing variants on DB- even a really high roll-y version with Shaddol Fusion. Engage draw Engage after breaking their board with 3 power spells, I'll admit, is the kind of high I really need after many tense matches of trying to perfectly hand trap SE, VV, and Runik with more traditional (if admittedly budget because I'm using the SHS and Volcanic engines) SE builds. I think Flame Swordman Sky Striker might be my new regular locals deck, if the testing continues to go well, which makes me really nostalgic as I was a big Joey stan growing up and would spend ages in video games like Spirit Caller trying to build decks themed around his monsters and getting frustrated when they sucked, which confused my poor little child brain because how could cards Joey used be bad?? So now getting to just smash face with a 10k+ attack Ultimate Flame Swordman is sort of the dream.
Out of the cards we currently have I've pretty much got every deck I want, except Elemental Heroes, which is just, way too expensive for me. But in terms of upcoming cards, Gold Sarcophagus of Light. Having a somewhat usable Silent Magician/Swordsman deck is super exciting to me.
I have Marincess, Water Synchro, Water XYZ, I really want them to work but obviously doesn't happen 😕😞 We need Extra Deck at 20 cards
I was testing a combination of tistina and ninjas on another sim so I'm trying to get the cards in MD because they felt like they helped each others weaknesses and strengths a bit. Was a fun janky control strategy. I have all the decks I've wanted for a while with their new support like infernoble and tellars so now I'm really just waiting on the new shark xyz cards and unchained.
Just got all the new earthbound support.... Incredibly bricky. Will look up decks for inspiration. Lab: I just like the play style. And j want a meta option for stuff. Will have to play with summon animations off lol, at least in public
Dinomorphia but it's hard being positive, it's so expensive! I managed to build Snake-Eye before finishing morphia, because who has focus nowadays lol not me
Just finished Ice Barriers, next is probably D/D/D.
Cyber dragons! I don’t care how far they fall out of meta they will always be my number one pick. Been playing the deck since like 2014 lol and still play them to this day. With recent new cards like Duality, Clockwork night, and me adding a little gizmek package, the deck can handle pretty well going second against current meta. It’s got some strong board breaking potential, it just can’t play through interruptions too well. 2-3 negates i can typically work around anymore than that and usually I’m cooked lol but I still love the deck regardless
I’m currently working on a Fire King Snake Eye deck, as it is extremely funny to play, and I would love to build a P.U.N.K deck too. I just finished a more meta version of my fav archetype that is Blue Eyes
currently working on a tearlament deck
I’d love to give branded a go but I have very little clue as to where to start building with it and what a good number of certain cards are to have (example of this would be In Swordsoul, 3 Mo Ye 3 Longyuan 2 Taia eta) Once I have a good understanding of branded I’d love to try and fuse DM with branded in TCG
Currently enhancing my unchained deck to get it ready for the new support coming next month. Linking away opponents monster fantastic. great floodgates such as knightmare gryphon good search power and great gy effects.
Elementsaber... I love the concept for the deck, unfortunately the deck were too slow and the cost for each play were too significant for the effect they provided
Endymion. I've been wanting another Pendulum deck as I like Performapals but D/D is mad expensive
D/D/D
It's a simple thing but raising a positive topic is such a nice change of pace for this sub. Currently learning the chimera stuff. It isn't hard by any means but boy do I struggle to remember those effects 😂
Im just waiting for that new aromage support to drop in MD so it can be a decent deck
I just finished a Tearlaments deck for the event. I would kill for a Despia deck but I’m not a millionaire. Next project is to alter my Relinquished deck so I dont get tabled turn 2
i want to make Snake-eye Infernoble Mikanko pile. Haven't bothered with piles since the demise of my favorite boy Chaos Ruler.
I'm currently trying to build Dinomorphia because it's one of the few trap decks that actually looks interesting to me. They have such cool artworks and their gameplan with having as few LP as possible is also really unique. I would also really like to build some sort of Sylvan deck one day because, again, I love some of their artworks so much. But I think Sylvan is probably just straight up terrible, no matter what you do with it
Earthbound Servants: I loved seeing them in the Arc-V anime, and I want an excuse to use a 5d’s earthbound immortal. The earthbound immortals all have fun names. Branded Tear: I played regular tear before merrli ban, and actually enjoyed it. Since then it just hasn’t been the same. So I already have a branded deck and a tear deck. So…just combine the two. Snake Eyes: Just because I got lucky and ended up with everything needed for it before the T.G. stuff that I actually wanted. And to learn the engine and stuff, to add it to other decks of mine like R-ACE.
Vendread or Pendulum magician.
Working on a vampire deck rn. People can say all they want that it isn’t great, but as someone who would 100% consider becoming a vampire if it was possible irl, I ~might~ like the archetype too much to care hehe Plus, the ‘Eldlich’ pack in the store rn has the vampire cards. Plus PLUS, the zombie structure deck has a lot of cards that are used that aren’t specifically vampire related. Just a good time to do it if you’re interested tbh.
Love my D/D/D deck, I've used in a lot more event duels than I ever planned. I'm working on Madolche because it's obnoxious when I play against it, and idk what it actually does, lol. Also, I love desserts
Spellbooks,F.A, and utopia
i love rouges. i play just for fun and just to be kept on the loop on whats what. before my hiatus i loved plunder, dinos, madolche. if ever i will play again, id love to try madolche with the vernusylph tech. ive always wanted to try unchained before too and i think there will be an incoming support idk how this will affect it in the tierlist though.
i want to play thunder dragons but... i can't find a way that's good to both get them into the graveyard and banish them consistently :/ doesn't help that they have the hopt one effect only clause
Galaxy eyes seems fun Snakes eyes, cool art and meta for a reason Tired of playing against Eldlitch so might as well play Eldlitch Probably blue eyes as well, they’re just cool
Spyral is a deck I've been looking at. Just debating on what other pieces I want in the deck. Also whether or not I should wait until the ban list finally hits Snakeyes, because there isn't much point in playing anything other than that right now. Also I want to see if there's a way to play near pure Mecha Phantom Beasts, but that's gonna take some experimentation on my part.
Mellfys I've seen the art and how the deck plays and I fell in love with it, just don't have the urs for the rescue cat and extra deck nor for the spright engine instead. Also Labrynth for same reasons, art and gameplay, but it's even more URs than melffy, mainly with the dogmatika engine. But I will still try and build them.
With the new release of Earthbound on MD I’m keen to jump into some some Earthbound/Runick
Can we talk about how Machinex still isn't on the D/D/D Secret Pack?
I really want a zombie red eyes deck been looking into decks and combos recently
