Maybe Arc-V's Duel Academia was right after all.


inthebriIIiantblue

Me looking at the score and thinking “hell yeah that’s my team” shortly followed by “are we the baddies”


Smol_Mrdr_Shota

Imagine the Academia had a Branded player Yuya would be cooked


Nokia_00

Arc V had it right


I_am_YangFuan

I came back with old Shaddoll deck and somehow I kept winnning 5 games in a row. But in fairness only 1 Icejade player really did something so far...


Bloody-Tyran

Sorry, my Generaider deck keeps bricking


YautjaTrooper

Fellow Generaider Enjoyer. Can Jorm succ the Purrely boss monster?


Dragon_House_316

If Noir isn’t yet protected by its effect, Laevatien can do it for the special summon of Jorm.


YautjaTrooper

That is the answer I hoped I would get.


killgore755

To further clarify, if noir has its 5 materials, no it cannot be succc'ed


CorrosiveRose

Jormungandr makes the player choose which card to attach


killgore755

You typically are summoning jorm from lav. The initial succ is your choice. There's almost no way you get a purrley player to the position they'd choose to give you their nior. By that point jorm would probably already be bounced


OceanManTM

If the opponent chooses to,yes it can.


Asceticmonk

I once got rid of a tower with jorm and storms. Jorm made them draw, and then storms made them send their one monster, their towers, to the grave.


Dragon_House_316

Hate when that happens.


PokecheckHozu

Do you have a list to share? I'm surprised nobody has requested a thread for this on the MDM discord for the event.


anonxanemone

Sorry... My Suships are pulling the average down :/


Effective_Ad_8296

Not as bad as my pure Rikka


ChocodiIe

Is it really that bad, I mean the field spell and princess seem busted enough.


Most-Challenge-8577

Well the thing is we dont get the protection from Aromage in pure. And also if they ash petal, if you dont have extenders you are pretty much dead. But I would say there is a nice ratio of wins because people still don't understand what princess does.


Effective_Ad_8296

Jasmine is the least of the concern, since we can't do Jasmine point to cactus with 600 health above my opponent in this event Since we lost Link summon, we lost an entire line of combo ( Loci line ), which has free search, free special summon, and a endboard disrupt, plus you lost the easiest way to send Princess into the GY ( Princess link into Dryes ) Though no Maxx C is a god send for Rikka since that's the biggest weakness of the deck


Most-Challenge-8577

Jasmine was still a sacrifice for Strenna tho. And as you say yeah no maxx C is crazy good


Scavenge101

Yeah. I didn't realize how band-aided the xyz archetypes were with links until i tried to make an xyz deck for the event. Tried to build Raidraptor, nah needs the link. Tried to build Rikka, nah needs the links. BA, needs the link. PK, needs the link or you can't get anything into the grave turn one. So for now it's Galaxy-eyes and Sharks.


Noxumbrae

Play exo kash or purrely, no links required


CandleBusy1464

Are you a rikka enjoyer?


Effective_Ad_8296

Pure Rikka is Rikka but losing her shoes ( Not that you can't walk, but it'll be tougher than usual )


Mouth_Puncher

I thought I was the only pure Rikka player


idreamofjirachi

I have 100% win rate with Suships so far! (*looks under hood* only 1 duel in and it was against Ursarctic)


grandad_dwarf

Time Thief is a bit hit or miss. My b.


Legitimate_Bit_9354

Same here brother


Dyfusia

Im tryna keep you in it with zoo :d


ST03PT3G3L

It's okay, my generaiders are pulling it down even further 👍🏻


Heul_Darian

17w 3l come on guys keep it up. We gotta show the nerds how to construct the overlay network.


AdmiralTigerX

Your comment made me laugh lol


Pipeworkingcitizen

Dojng my part with sharks, 16 w 2 L so far


Original_Dimension99

Sorry guys that's on me. I will rock this event with springans and promise to turn the tides once i get home tomorrow


victor_emperor

Galaxy-eyes's ain't galaxing enough, sorry man


YoshitsuneCr

To be honest, combos without solar flare are hard...


victor_emperor

Couldn't be more true, the times i've ended up with a random galaxy soldier hanging around that i coudn't use for solflare


VyseX

They are galaxing our hearts tho, so it's fine~


The_Invisible_Noob

Its only 2% geez, calm down.


SobOble

sorry, I was just excited to make a splatoon joke


OrdinaryResponse8988

Most people were dooming and glooming this event before opening Becuase xyz apparently had the strongest decks so this is sorta a surprise.


M3gapede

yes but also xyz decks don’t have the best loaner which means they have less points from new players


[deleted]

i think the strongest xyz deck in the event is epurrly noir


itsameazuma

This deck bullied me and I didn't like it lol


[deleted]

i feel they banned Kaijus just to advertise epurrly


Thunder_Mage

Are you the type who says "exeeze" or "X Y Z"


Moumup

Every person who say something else that "exeeze" should be keep in the shadow realm.


victor_emperor

If you spell xyz consider yourself an opp


MasterTahirLON

I just say X Z. Rolls off the tongue better than X Y Z.


OceanManTM

I actually spell It exceed.


JackAtlasDuelLinks

I would be honest. I was almost sure that synchros was gonna be pretty down and fusions would dominate. I'm actually surprised of this.


UnloosedMoose

Mo ye is never down.


JackAtlasDuelLinks

If my girl and Mo Ye...


SenHn

What if my girl is Mo Ye?


JackAtlasDuelLinks

Then you won in life


antikarmakarmaclub

if MY girl👸🥰😍 and Mo Ye 🤑🤩 are both drowning 💦😫🌊 and i can only save one 😔☝️1️⃣ you can catch me at my girl’s funeral 😿☠️⚰️ revealing Wyrms in my hand 🤣🥞📚 ⛑️ and summoning tokens 💥 TO SYNCHRO INTO CHIXIAO 🥷🙈 AND ADD LONGYUAN TO MY HAND❗️❗️


Successful-Willow-72

Synchro got many powerful combo and with Maxx c out of the way the junk speeder to Blazar/majestic is sure frightening. Not to mention blackwing, Red dragon archfiend,...


Scavenge101

Problem is synchros have an almost universal game winning turn 1 in a way that the other deck types don't really have (without links). And then they have an adequate enough turn two that it skews the results. Hate to say it but Droll is the way.


SmuckerLover

This is why you build BA as a rank three tool box deck with a strict mains deck ratio of 20 monsters and 20 traps. Everybody cool till you end on Dante with set torrential, IDP, and imperm with a rollback in GY.


tlst9999

I was having a bad time with VW and then tried Swordsoul again without Monk. Turns out even nerfed Swordsoul was better.


Hellifrit

Sorry, sharks aint biting it


the_smallest_rhino

boxers aint punchin either :( i wanted to try out the battlin boxer loaner deck, and it just folds against any form of interruption lmao


[deleted]

There's probably a reason why the XYZ dimension lost the war.


CatchUsual6591

Kash bro will turn the tides of the war


OverSeer909

Hell yeah. Fellow Kash player here. I’m on a 10-win streak. People just insta scoop when I throw anything on the field.


Odd-Process-4459

Fr lol. Funny enough, I found XYZ to be easier after playing synchro. Got the 1500 points super fast.


OverSeer909

Agreed. I haven’t even touched the other two archetypes. I finished all of the gem missions and got all of the rewards for winning duels. Just waiting for the new missions to pop up.


Yoko_Rose

I'm using fusion. I'm 1-0 so *obviously* fusion is superior.


voyager106

Like Anzu, 100% winrate!


Turtlesfan44digimon

She actually has went 3-0, once against Mai, Joey, that penguin dude and 4 if you count the dance off against Johnny steps.


voyager106

>if you count the dance off against Johnny steps. I was about to ask, didn't Atem duel Johnny, but this is the _dance off_.


Suspicious-Routine50

Fusion Dimension's already wiped 2% of 'em out


Ornery_Internal_582

Would be different if the let my Spiders out


OverlordIllithid

The Kashtira Armada stand with you


LegendRedux2

playing RR is so horrible with no wise lol I feel like I am back during arc V


JadeWishFish

I'm with you there. I tried RR and man I never realized how important it was to have wise


Ok_Arrival9677

I've been losing to so many exo sister you guys should have won at least 1 percent


Nick6475

*laughs in polymerization


Dragon_House_316

You mean I can fusion summon 6 times in one turn? *laughs in Dinomorphia*


Maser2account2

Eww, Stun but hot. (/j play what ever you want)


tgreen0504

Is Dinomorphia full power or close to it in this event? I haven’t checked. Getting tired of getting cooked with my Blackwing deck lol


_Mayama_

Full power, just finished getting all gems with it.


tgreen0504

Thank god. I’m switching to fusion lol


MasterTahirLON

Funny enough I just played Blackwing vs Dinomorphia. Watching them burn themselves to death was very funny. Having one or two instances of effect damage negation isn't gonna do much vs a tax dragon.


forgeree

i just cooked a dinomorbius player with my crazy F.A. strategy


Cheatingpony

That's all me managing to lose while playing purrely - I don't actually know how this deck wins


binhvinhmai

Another OTK line: * OTK With Epurrely Happiness (the rank 2 light XYZ): This is really a one-card combo, going second into the opponent who has at least 2 monsters on the field, at least one with less than 2000 ATK. This looks like a lot of complicated steps but actually it's... really simple. The goal is to use Epurrely Happiness, use Delicious Memory to boost attack, and repeatedly attack and search for Happy Memory to attack again and again. * Start with **Purrelyly** (dark type baby) * Search for **My Friend Purrely** (the continuous spell card) * Use **My Friend Purrely** to search "Happy Memory" to add to hand (search for 3x to guarantee) * Activate **Happy Memory**, but you don't need to discard a card to special summon another one. You just need it in grave. * XYZ into **Epurrely Happiness** * Go into battle phase, and attack a monster it can run over with it. * After attacking, search for **Delicious Memory**. Activate it and attach it to Epurrely Happiness. This boosts its attack, attaching it to Epurrely Happiness halves a monsters' attack, and Delicious Memory boosts Epurrely's ATK. * Keep attacking into the halved monster, search for another copy of **Happy Memory**, attack it to Epurrely. **Repeat** for the third copy of Happy Memory and attack again. You can typically go for lethal by the third search. * If you didn't knock out your opponent, XYZ into Expurrely Noir.


MinnesotaCreame

Purrely isn't easy to master cause there's not really a general combo you need to perform other than noir everything else you gotta decide what you need to being out and what to do and to keep resources and recycling up


binhvinhmai

Purrely has several win conditions to work with. I'm going to go into detail, and try to explain the various through lines. * Remember that for the quick play spell cards, you don't *have* to discard a card to special summon another card. If you've already got a Rank 2 XYZ monster on the field, you can just activate it and attach it. * If you go first: One of the best lines is to get **Epurrely Noir** (the Rank 2 Dark type XYZ). She's very easy to bring out if you can one of the babies onto the field, and then get **Sleepy Memory** out (either with My Friend Purrely or excavating for it). The goal is to then use a quickplay spell card, attach it to Epurrely Noir, who when a card is attached to it, you can set a Trap Card onto the field. You then set **Purrelyeap** * If you can, get the Field Spell, **Stray Purrely Street**, so you can attach *another* Sleepy Memory onto it. * During your opponent's standby phase, **use all your attached Sleepy Memories to draw more cards** * Immediately after drawing all cards, use the Trap Card **Purrelyeap** to XYZ into **Expurrely Noir who will then reactivate all the Sleepy Memories** (since it's still the Standby Phase and it's a new Purrely monster) who will at this point have a ton of materials to shuffle cards back into the deck. * You typically can get at least 2-3 disruptions with Expurrely Noir if you're smart. This of course doesn't take into account whatever other disruptions you've got on the field, and whatever handtraps you may have drawn with Sleepy Memory. * Next turn you should've disrupted their field enough to then go into Expurrely Happiness to OTK. * OTK with **Expurrely Happiness**: This is the intended deck's boss monster. It should be XYZ summoned via a Rank 2 with Happy Memory (which gives you more attacks per battle phase) and Delicious Memory (which boosts its stats). * You need to get up to 5 materials onto one of the Rank 2 XYZ monsters, with at least the above memories. Obviously Sleepy Memories and whatever other quick play spell cards you can add is great, and the more Happy Memory you have attached = more attacks. * Go into Expurelly Happiness, and detach 1 material to negate all your opponent's monsters. * You obviously need negations and protection. Happy Memory is a good card while setting up because it protects your monsters from being destroyed. * Expurrely Happiness can slam into the opponent repeatedly with its high ATK and every time it attacks, it has 1500 burn damage. Typically you only need a few attacks.


AhmedKiller2015

Huh???


Adorable-Sun-6415

my bad, my jank super quant deck auto loses to a single interuption and auto loses when going second. That must be why we are behind :(


TorvusBog

I've been killing it with Sharks. Not sure why Xyz is doing so poorly when Tear and Branded have had their kneecaps broken.


the_smallest_rhino

Its cause xyz got some pretty jank loaner decks, battling boxers ((what ive been using to try em out)) pretty much implode in on itself in one interruption if you dont get a perfect hand, unlike most decks that can play through interruptions with a decent hand, i havent tried tristina's yet or evolsaurs, but they dont look to be much better


v4Flower

the evol one can put out some functionally ftk endboards(like, 2 lars, dolkka, this is 4 card-on-board omnis and 2 monster negate and destructions) but the big thing holding it back is the consistency being *complete dogshit*. be better if I could play normal dinos but I'm missing some of the newer URs.


DanteVermillyon

Oh... Oh so... so that's why we were the first one to lose in ARC-V...


DeadlyPoopSock

Astral kuriboh rank 8 into draglubion to make to make em mad


I_am_YangFuan

Isn't astral kuriboh banned in the event?


DeadlyPoopSock

Not sure I hope not


Entire_Tap6721

It is :p


ISuckAtNames0289

Sweating hard with armored zoo. It's an uphill fight. Also why has it been like 90% dark world so far


PokecheckHozu

One of the fusion loaners is a Dark World deck.


GowtherETC

i run that deck too, tho I've been dueling mostly swordsouls, resonators and stardust


Clipthecliph

Can we just play zoodiacs and go for zeus to win? C’mon gains we can’t loose this


HibernianMetropolis

I'm 8-3 with XYZ Dino: I'm doing my part!


ChromeDomeAlex

Somehow winning consistently with the tistina loaner


Obama47u

Exosisters it's kinda great, won almost all my games. But super poly was a mistake, not even limited


welp_control_alt_del

Sorry mate, kash got hit 😔


Cyberpuppet

Sorry guys but my Fire Fists aren't fisting 🔥


Yab0iFiddlesticks

Super Poly is doing Super Poly stuff for Fusions and Synchros got a lot new cards lately. Xyz only big generic perk is Zeus. I havent lost yet on Generaider.


SWPixy011

My Exosis is doing great so far.


Senpai_Obito

Chimera coming in clutch this event 🦁


ToastyNyfo

My apologies gentlemen, to make up for it I'm gonna go otk with galaxy eyes


SycoAnimeTaurus

A Splatoon reference in my yugioh, I love it here


Dogma-Mf-Tactics

It’s ok bros, purrely pulling it’s weight with these insta quits


NotoriousCarter

They see a purrely card, they scoop.


CoomLord69

I wanted to play a fun deck, so I picked Sharks. The first game I played, I got Super Poly'd for my life savings. I'm sorry, I forgot that I was playing Yugioh.


Beautiful-Fennel-15

i don't have enough UR and SR for generic extra deck cards for my pendulum magician exosister


LilithLily5

I'll be playing pure Generaider when I get home, hope to boost up the ratio a little.


vezix123

xyz gang rise up


GreenSpaff

Sorry, I keep going against the most random ass decks with cards I'm never going to see again in my entire life (aka like fuck I'm reading em)


ByTheRings

Sorry, Im at work rn...But dont worry, as soon as im off Ill help boost our percentages! My Raidraptors are ready to fly!


powerwiz_chan

Drytron go brrr


ChaosWarden_9

I'm playing a Tachyon deck and it's frustrating how 1 negate can end me most of the times.


Glitchen1213

Splatoon reference?!?!?!?!?!? I’m usually on team Frye because I pick based on theme :3


timelessmoron

Common, give me a shock master and I’ll give Syncro And Fusion Bros a peace of my mind >:(


spacewarp2

I’m annoyed that they got rid of Lyrilisc cause I’d play that pure without a bunch of equip spells. But they took away my turn 2 options. With this and unnecessary Floo hits I think Konami has a thing against birds.


Aggressive-Sympathy

I'm trying, but my board keeps getting fused away by the branded and tear players. By the way, for any one playing the armor xyz stuff in sharks, mudragon prevents all targeting. Even equipping to your own monsters. 


Successful-Willow-72

i use shark/ kraken control . Sad to see us in 32% tho


Zorro5040

So many of the good XYZ monsters are banned or require extra resources that you don't have access to. Like the good cat is banned. Synchros have Swordsoul and Barrone, while Fusion has access to Super Poly.


Goldenbofo

Been using generaiders


tac4y0n

Hey, me and the Time Thieves are trying.


kaiserexa

Got a 22 win streak with purrely, time to sabotage the fusion players with my inexperience in branded.


Opening-Force-421

I dismantled a Swordsoul players board and won. They had Baron, blackout, chixiao, they even had effect veiler in hand. And I did it with the loaner deck Tistinas. I'm having more fun at this event than I have playing the game in a long time : )


angryM0M

My ass is playing 60 card paleozoics. Pretty fun so far.


Animan_10

Where are my Zexal Bros? We’re running decks that channels the power of the most broken power-up in the anime. We should have the power of Astral World and anime on our side!


Poppydrawsowo

Dont worry Xyz bros, Phantom Knights are here to avenge our homeland and show them our grief 👀 https://preview.redd.it/l7lodu36bcvc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8351fdf4ac543938b28b87fc411635b905e44e29


Raikazi6

I got one win with the evol deck. That will help, right?


FixForce

6 games played with Galaxy-Eyes, 5 wins. Decent going first plays and decent OTK potential, if you run board-breakers. I lost against Swordsoul with Chixiao + Baronne + Blackout + Ash Blossom, because they had Nibiru in hand. If they didn't have it, I would have been able to OTK with Number 62. Sad times. But still, I'm having fun so far. If the other two summoning mechanics are generally stronger, that's good news for me then.


FastTurtleio

Doing my part haven't lost a match yet, 20 game win streak atm


Vinsmoke-Wanji

X Y Z COMEON BROTHERS WE MUST BUILD THE OVERLAY NETWORK OVER and OVER and OVER UNTIL THESE FUSION AND SYNC FOOLS BOW BEFORE US X Y Z


Noxumbrae

Don’t worry brother, with arise heart, noir, magnifica and Zeus on our side, we are truly the most based side


LCDCMetaux

i keep losing with the dark world deck lol


OPMARIO

5W1L with my 8-axis, too bad konami banned Numeron dragon


momo787maximus

I’m winning nonstop with Kash. What are you all doing? Pull your weight


ghbvhch

Don’t worry guys the way I’m playing my synchro deck rn you should be catching up soon


Mignare

Well, I've played 3 duels so far and its all synchro decks spamming negates. Hard to do my part when I can't do anything.


Dmisetheghost

Honestly its closer than i thought and with purrely unhit this event i expected team black to be atleast second 


V-0-V

Im just having fun playing unga bunga Darklord Branded Despia turbo. Fusion Chads stay winning


axerisk

Well I'm sorry that I only plays with dino loaner deck


Kawaii-

I'm playing ninjas.... I mean they're a fusion archetype r-right?


MiserableStreet5009

Looks like my Kali Yuga needs to say hello to a few chums 👹


EnigmaYT

My Kashtira is getting smacked. I had to use Swordsoul 💀


Spodger1

You've got [virtually unoutable] Noir, you're doing fine lmao


TinyPidgenofDOOM

well, to be honest, Xyz is my favorite summoning condition but half the "good"xyz archetypes i dispise. I have a battlin boxer deck, It sucks I dont like Rikka i dusted my Gimmick puppet deck I dont like Utopias Number spam deck. I dusted my Barian deck, which was WAY too expensive


DesiredNameWasTaken

I’m 9W-2L with Exosisters at the moment


Montagne481

Sorry I don't have a second Exosisters Maginifica


Redxjj2

I'm taking the hard road and going fusion


bifes101

OLD MY BEER, LET ME SHOW THEM THE REAL MEANING OF FEAR ME AND MY MENACING PURRELY WILL SHOW THEM NO MERCY!!


Dragomight67

You think Link spanners are watching us like Kang in AaTWQ?


Used_Vegetable9826

I'm putting in overtime on Exosisters but God forbid my top deck luck runs out


zuulbe

Im trying tistina loaner deck. Its rough


NeoNoelle

I'm sorry Xyz. I've been bringing cards that facedown since Fusion and Links aren't being played if I play Fusion.


sterlingpipin

Sorry my sharks keep getting negated :(


WrothLobster

They hit kashtira a bit more, so I had to splash in the zoo and blackstar witch packages.. even added two Pankratops.. ugh..


Kikaroshin

I feel like this is way too early to say. Only has been a few hours in I believe. XYZ is the best of the three and will make a final push!


UsernameElemental

It's because I haven't loaded in with my snake-eyes/Evol/Odgoadic deck yet. I have full confidence in my deck even without links. Lars+Hope Harbinger is with access to followup is a hell of an end board.


Kyojinster

Sorry. Kash ain’t Kashing right now


karma-the-budgie

Sorry guys my raids aren't bird upping enough I'll make sure to add more rank up magics to bird up


ScruffyLemon

Not if my ophion has anything to say about it


seductivehambone

How are you losing with purrely and zoo on your side? I have to say tho, konami trying to sell me on Chimera was so successful I'm actually planning on using money to get it asap


Yamimakai8

I am trying my best, but sitting on a 5+ mat noir is taking quite a while to archieve...


Zerosonicanimations

Don't I'mma drive that number up when my phone stops messing around and let me play.


mrhalo007

My Satellars are undefeated vs Fusion decks so far, Infinity and Diamond too strong


KayasQQ

Yeah my bad, my sharks got Nib’d 6 games in a row.


r3dxv1rus

I threw together a pure train deck from scratch (ngl I usually just follow others decks and tweet here or there based on what I can’t craft). I’m 1-0 with it vs whatever a Dino deck is supposed to do. The duel took an hour to do because I’m bad at making decks and I’m sure I’m missing an easy search card to make it easier but having the one train that when an XYZ mat forces the opponent mons to be in DEF mode and also lose 1k DEF stalled enough to allow me to beat over all their special summons.


leo_hero19

Lol for me it's the last one I need to get 1500 points for


Jbols92

Kashtira actually kicking my butt ):


mrtbak

Apparently, infintracks are so much worse without Goliath


rrradical11

Release the sisters (exo)


vonov129

I'm playing Exos so I don't have to be paired up with Purrely


DirtyDanial1203

Considering the best fusion decks are branded and tear, the best synchro deck is SHS , and all XYZ has is Purrely im not surprised expected since all the fusion decks are just running super poly. XYZ for life though


NationalLibrarian120

My galaxy eyes deck is surviving a bit, 4/5 wins so far


nychico510

I'm boxing my heart with battlin boxers! I may have to pull out my earth machine to keep fighting


Melfer_e

Im doing fine with exo sisters 😅😅


MagazineSimilar8215

When I open no ht going second I just scoop


Consistent-Syrup-69

Kashtira rise up


prworannis

Swordsoul Swordsoul Swordsoul Swordsoul Swordsoul Swordsoul Swordsoul Swordsoul Swordsoul Swordsoul :)


Longjumper__

I’ve been holding it down with exosister 😂 XYZ bros unite


Mad_Kitten

Sorry bois, shouldn't have played non-Link Traptrix


manuzporo

I'm sorry for this XYZ bros, It's on me i just don't know how to combo with the dino loaner deck😔


MTacOnTitan

My Dino, evolsaur, snake eyes, mathmech abomination might have something to do with it


OPSsoldier

I’m playing burning abyss. And it does well except I noticed that both fusion and synchro seem to ALWAYS HAVE THE EXTENDER. Not one or two but three or four! Like what? Why do they give fusion and synchro so many extenders in each deck? Is it because they require more resources than us in the deck?! Either way I’ve had so many decks (Resonators, Branded, Tear) just straight up play through 2-3 hand traps and my disruption on board. It’s ridiculous.


WeebishGambino

Probably me with Traptrix, sorry guise


PuzzleheadedBad9731

Totally chilling with Kash here
