*Yuma for no real reason*
Card games are still games, so this is legit.
ANYWAY...
I play This game IRL, on the GBA/DS games(Wc06 - Wc11), and online(Dueling Network/Duel Monsters Genesis)
So, GTM, anyone else play card games on motorcycles?

hi

There used to be a thread for this, but I dunno if it still exists.

I'm playing through Reshef of Destruction again on the VBA, cheats make the game about 90 times more fun XD

Brilliant game. Especially with Mokuba playing Morphing Jar #2 face up.

I play DuelingNetwork sometime. But I always get the cheating 14 year olds who only speak spanish. Which mars it a little.

Here, have some of my Feels.
DN's shuffle system is absolute crap, and often leads to 1 of the players opening with an incredibly stacked/rigged/loaded hand, while the other guy has the exact opposite, regardless of what either player is running.
Speaking of which~
What do you run anyway?

Decks I run or have run IRL:

Currently built
Heroics
Lavals (With full extra deck. Money in da bank)
Post-Ban Chaos Dragons (Synchro variant with Plaguespreader, plus 2 Dark Resonators as tour guide targets)
Toons
Ghetto Inzektors

Past
Inferno Tempest (My favorite deck)

Future
Zombie World
Hyperion Agents (Once my damn singles come in the mail, it's only been two weeks....)

Post by: Badnik96 on March 05, 2013, 07:36:28 PM
Dueling Network hmm? I assume it's kinda like Pokemon Online for Yugioh? Does it have every card released in it?

Also even when cheating to get infinite Domino and Deck Capacity Rebecca is still a total bugger in RoD. The game is just that damn hard.

I've built currently two decks IRL ever: One was a Fire deck which absolutely rocked and my current deck is a Dark deck which rocks even more. I don't use anything past the GX era though, so my decks are out of date by a lot. I don't even have any Synchro monsters XD

I saw the Jurrac cards, went "Cool! Fire Dinosaurs!" and made a deck around them on it on DN so that. If I could make a half decent deck on there, I might be tempted to try it IRL.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: J on March 06, 2013, 01:59:29 AM
IRL, I run MaleficScrapTown. Its a half-joke deck(and actually quite consistent at that), but as long as it runs Scraps I'm fine with it.
Despite the fact I play budget decks IRL, I'll post it's contents later.

On DN, I run a bunch of junk, but nothing metagame, cuz' that's all boring.

Kill, your deck actually looks quite good. Ever consider running Quasar (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Shooting_Quasar_Dragon) in it? I mean, Lavals/Flamvells/[FIREs with 200 DEF] can make it pretty  easily with just 1 Rekindling.

And Conraaa, Jurracs are pretty amazing when you take into consideration the fact they can make Evolzar monsters, and give you a toolbox at the same time.
(Which is mostly Guiaba/Velo)

Stall Decks are like Exodia.
Stall: 3x Final Countdown + 37x Stall cards
Exodia: 5x Exodia + 35x Drawing cards.
So as you can see, both are terrible.

Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: J on March 07, 2013, 04:10:12 PM
Staplen made me lol.
And decks can overflow a bit, its only when they get to 45 does it become problematic.
(Really, 41 won't kill you. 42 is pushing it)

And for Boring Ninjas~
3x Hanzo (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ninja_Grandmaster_Hanzo)
3x White Dragon Ninja (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/White_Dragon_Ninja)
3x Super Transform (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ninjitsu_Art_of_Super-Transformation)
31x Backrow/Filler
Deck punishes the Opponent for even playing(but no as extreme as Inzektors), and lets you even lucksack (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Lucksack) with Luster (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Luster_Soldier_-_Envoy_of_the_Beginning); Hence, boring.

Alright, stuff I've wanted to post for a few days now~
Gem-Knights, Hieratics, Evilswarm, Elemental HERO, and Noble Knights, all run Vanillas. So its not just Rabbit shenanigans.

Badnik, Dimensional Prison is far superior to Sakuretsu(w/e), since Banishing monsters is more effective then simply destroying them.

System, you could always run Giant Rat to search for Muka and enraged Muka. Hell, since they are also Rock-Types, you can even make use of Block Golem.

a lot of the old stuff is actually more unbalanced.... change of heart, pot of greed.

your staples like dark hole, monster reborn and heavy storm are all still very important in every deck; however there is always a risk that they will be on the chopping block in a new format because they are arguably overpowered
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on May 05, 2013, 10:58:35 AM
Okay... Gotta admit that I did not see that one coming. There are some very interesting old cards that I do have and did put in my little deck. I don't I'll really be into big competitive stuff though.

Well I saw this thread and though I'd look for my old stash and I didn't find any of my decks but I did find a load of rares, not sure if any of them are of any significance but there is an original slifer the sky dragon in there and all of the others are from the GX era and before, some of them seem to be ultra rare but sort of embossed, there's 14 of them in there, there are also a lot of ultras and I'll probably be selling them soon to pay for minor tom's upgrades if I get any decent money for them.

They gotta sell new cards, so a good 80% of the old cards become obsolete, and the super powerful ones get banned.  Look at the 4-star monsters to see what I mean - there was a time when Gemini Elf was a rare.  I've looked into selling my old cards and they're barely worth anything.

I see. That's kinda sad since I'm pretty fond of my old cards. I know about strong 4-star monsters, since I also have Kaiser Sea Horse, and I'd say that monsters like Mystical Elf are also pretty strong with a 2000 DEF. Oh well.

Lol at some of the forbidden cards. I can get into Change Of Heart since it is pretty nasty, but I don't get how even a card like Last Will is no longer allowed. That card is only interesting when using weaker low level monsters instead of strong level 4 monsters. Makes it look like they are just wining over cards that they may have too much trouble with... Somehow.

Pretty sure it had to do with things like Sangan, but I dunno. I remember reading why it was banned somewhere before, but IDK if I can find it...

I don't really get the whole banning of cards anyway. They were made to be part of this game and there are still ways to counter them. Also looking at that list, I'm surprised the Type Zero Magic Crusher isn't there while I would say that that is a powerful trap card.
I really see no logic here.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: J on May 06, 2013, 04:07:14 PM
Type Zero Magic Crusher is situational, and a waste of resources. It's not banworthy at all.
And most of the cards on the list are there for specific reasons.

Also Will was banned because of Cat Format.
Hell, even if it came off the list today, it would still be nuts.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on May 07, 2013, 12:12:31 PM
I have no idea what Cat Format is. Then again, not sure if I care that much.
Either way, as long as I just keep it to... Where it isn't applied, I can use the cards I want.

Really? It's gotten that bad with the community that people would just (possibly 'rage')quit over someone using that (or other forbidden) card? I guess for this generation or whatever it's all normal and sure I'll get into understanding that. Just for someone just picked it back up after not looking back at my old stuff for years, and now gets to know all of this... I hope you can understand that to me this seems pretty sad. I won't complain about it, it's useless to do so and will only piss people off. To me it's just... Weird, and something to get used to.

those of us that have been playing the game for this long and have been through every format change know how overpowered certain cards are

if you agree to play traditional format with somebody beforehand, that's one thing. but if you just activate it against a random opponent do not expect positive reactions.

@Kill: Unless its on even grounds, since if both players are using Chaos Emperor, then both of them will expect it.
But if only 1 person is using him, then the other will be annoyed to no end about it.

I suppose that would work. Have to admit that I know cheese about this Dueling Network, though I'll find out when looking myself. Would it also have the option to, like, filter who you want to play with or rather, what format you'd want to face?

DN has~
Rated duels, for if you want to get EXP n' junk
Unrated, which is the same Advanced Format as Rated, but it's on a less serious level.
Traditional, which is where every banned card is@1. This one is also unrated.
Unlimited. Every card is @3. This one is more of an experimental section since it lets people play with past formats(assuming you built your deck on that level). Other then that, if your facing people at random, expect a lot of half-assed FTK.dek. Again, this one is also unrated.

I started playing YuGiOh! when I was about 9. I loved the show but didn't understand the game. After I got into it, it was one of my favourite games, period, not just card games. I run the old decks such as, Cyber Dragon, Elemental Heroes, etc. I hate the new archetypes, ruins the game if you ask me. Nothing but OPness since XYZ were introduced.

Sometimes I run anime decks on YGOPRO, mostly Timelords.

I got bored as hell of this game around the time of xyz and 'yo dawg imma let you finish but lul otk' decks. Used to run level eater scraps, was so fun to control their field with twin dragon.

Found the deck a few weeks ago, got together with some friends from locals who also got bored of competitive and had a blast, just shows that old Yugioh is the best yugioh (none of us ran xyzs or any of the one-turn-duel decks/one card win conditions that are popular now).

IIRC my DN name is Fathersplat. Haven't played on it in a long while though, decks probably need updating.

They don't ruin it? There are some XYZ that have better effects than most fusions and rituals and XYZ are far easier to summon! What's the point in fusions, rituals and tribute summons if XYZ allow you to rule the game if you have 2 level 4 monsters on the field? Also, with the archetypes, getting level 8 and higher monsters is way too easy, feeding XYZ. I think the game and the TV shows have been simplified so the game can go back to it's target audience, kids. XYZ are too simple to use to be as OP as they are.

I have no views on pendulum summoning. Played them on YGOPRO, could go either way for me really. The cards that support them seem to be restricted but I guess that will change soon. But still, I think XYZ is still more OP than pendulum summoning. Again, I can't say anything for sure on that, but that's what I think.

Use bottomless trap hole when a Pendulum summon goes off and your opponent basicly gives up and goes away. There entire play is banished also it take several turns to set up a summon so I do think pendulums are balanced... Ish

Post by: powerrave on June 26, 2014, 10:54:54 AM
I do agree to good extend that Xyz monsters are rather powerful, but on the other hand, I have barely had trouble countering them or even turning my opponents Xyz monster against him (waiting out Acid Golem Of Destruction till when it has no Xyz materials and would cost 2000 LP per standby phase of the controller). The only thing that really annoys me about them is how they have a rank instead of level. Sneaking past the gravity bind in my Atlanteans.

As for other special monsters. Ritual was never really good to begin with. Way to long before you have one and even then they aren't any good. Fusion, Cyber Dragons are fusion and are easily capable of doing one turn kills and first turn kills, and hey, it's an older deck/archetype. And Synchro, I like those the most for some reason. Also get those fast enough, especially in my Atlanteans. And oh, how much times I annoyed the hell out of my friends with Ally of Justice Catastor.
Pendulums I am yet to see more of, but looks interesting already.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on June 26, 2014, 11:22:13 AM
I don't know who you're playing who runs Acid Golem without creature swap but you should tell them they're being a tad stupid. Even though quite a bit of fusion monsters can be involved in an F/OTK, most of the cards that make them work have been banned anyway. And if you mean to say that Cyber Dragons can win a game in one turn, you should try doing that against the new archetypes. Rank is a bit stupid. I hated synchro when it first became a thing because they seemed really OP due to the fact that 'Polymerization' was not needed but then I learnt that getting tuner monsters out can be tedious sometimes and countless other decks at the time, that didn't involve synchros, could beat them. Fusions are still my favourite because they seem the most balanced (needing polymerization and whatnot.) But I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, XYZ are broken and all archetypes that support quick summoning of level 8+ monsters (with 0 atk and def to compensate, nice try Konami) are by far the best archetypes around now.

When it comes down to it, I think the pecking order of monster summoning types should go like this, Rituals>Fusions>Synchros>XYZ>Tribute summons. This is mainly because of the speed at which these monsters can be summoned. When pendulums become a thing, I think they would be between fusions and synchros, considering they can be easily countered and getting the pendulum scale set and the monsters to use it with is really tedious.

And therefor miss out on also a new fusion based archetype. Also, I find fusions easier to pull off than synchros. Got polymerization in hand? Have needed monsters either in hand or field, instant powerhouse. Don't have it yet? Fusion Sage is a good help. Then there's Super polymerization which is pretty hard on its own and then in my case, Power Bond, for either Cyber Twin or Cyber End... Or on my Ancient Gears, Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem. That kind of stuff I can't pull with Xyz or anything else so quickly. As for tribute summoning (which I also actively do), lol Soul Exchange and Double Summon.

At least with fusions you have to have a fusion card, this may set you back a couple of cards in your deck because you need that card. With XYZ and synchros, any idiot can place two cards on the field that fit summoning conditions and then bam, you have an OP monster. At least with synchros tuners were their equivalent to an actual fusion card and tuners could set you back in that way and synchros themselves aren't that OP for what they're worth. With XYZ, I play double summon (or use summoner monk), get 2 level 4s and away I go. I have a monster that's way too OP for it's 'rank'.

It's fun how you call them all OP while that really isn't the case. They're easy to summon but don't always have the ATK/DEF to back it up and the effects, some are fun, others aren't. Just like Sychro and Fusion monsters, not all are as good. Next to that, Xyz monsters their effects are generally limited to their Xyz materials. Without them they are really just meh (though some higher ranks do have decent or good ATK). Even with some strong effects, I've been able to nicely dodge those in the past and letting the opponent waste it's Xyz materials.

Because no other decks need Sangan due to there being cards with similar effects that work much better and faster.

And the deck I will mainly finish up for competition is the one I call 'Zero Hero', which doesn't use any monsters at all. But right now it still needs work.

One thing which I've noticed about this game is the potential development around the card "The Last Warrior From Another Planet", which I assume you can look up, but effectively serves as a global summoning shut down deck (opponents can only set monsters as opposed to normal, flip or special summon). Given that, I'm surprised no one has tried a counter to synchros or rapid special summoning decks using it.

Recently adopted a deck partially based on that principle, plus with Spacial Collapse and Ojama Trio as particular highlights, rest of it is kinda just whatever I felt like but I've felt like trying hard stall decks like that

If you're running this deck run Anti-spell fragrance. Stops your opponent from setting cards. (Works better in a dark simoroge(?) deck)

One thing which I've noticed about this game is the potential development around the card "The Last Warrior From Another Planet", which I assume you can look up, but effectively serves as a global summoning shut down deck (opponents can only set monsters as opposed to normal, flip or special summon). Given that, I'm surprised no one has tried a counter to synchros or rapid special summoning decks using it.

Hold on there. Anti Spell Fragrance doesn't stop the opponent from setting cards, it forces both players to set spell cards before they can be activated.

I am thinking of running that card in my Traptrix since I also run Xing Zen Hu in there, which allows me to lock two set cards. However, I'm gonna run into a bit of trouble managing my zones if I also were to play that next my Ground Collapse as well as leaving a zone free for my 'Hole' normal traps.

If you are careful you might be able to exploit a Last Decree setup, and then pump the LW really heavy with equip cards (assuming your not using Spatial Collapse as well, which is the funniest card ever to use with LW, especially of the opponent likes his trap cards). I'll see if I can come up with anything clever to do with that.

Edit: This would especially work given the ludicrous number of equipable cards that highly benefit warrior types. I can see this being quite strong.

It's really good but it's prone to crashes a little bit of the time and can be a bit hard to follow for beginners if the opponent is doing a really long play. However, the fact that it's automated is so good. But, if you want to play IRL, I recommend DN because you get to actually learn the rules for yourself, then. I would love it, rather than just like it a lot, if it could really encapsulate the Yugioh PSP game feel or even the Yugioh Online feel.

I do have to say, I like the sense of community and importance of performance and rank on DN. That's why I only really go on YgoPro to test my decks because I won't look like an idiot if I test a really bad deck. Then, if I feel it can be competitive, I'll go on rated in DN.

Last I checked, Duel Generation is horrendously out-dated. I hate playing out-dated games unless they are extremely out-dated to the point in which it becomes retro or reminiscent. Hence why I'll play Yugioh Tag Force 3 but not Yugioh Tag Force Special anymore. I'd like to just test on YgoPro, then actually make the deck IRL but Yugioh is a rich man's game and I'm, sadly, not too well off atm.

The Facebook and other online versions are unsupported, so they're dead but you can still play the mobile app version. The only thing is, because it's been going for quite a while, the only people that really play it online are people with amazing decks and it's quite difficult to duel in the Arena to get DP or whatever they call it, can't remember. It's quite a fun pass time if you want to play it but I need internet connection to play it, and I am usually elsewhere using my internet access if I have it and I am rarely bored with an internet connection in order to warrant playing the game much, anymore. I'd recommend it if you get bored easily, even with an internet connection.

Although stripped down from the Japanese game, I think Duel Carnival was good. Never played it but it looked good. It's outdated (the bad outdated, not retro). I think Japan actually like to support the original PSP, too, so I think they released Tag Force Special for just the PSP. I enjoyed playing that for a bit until it became the bad kind of outdated. It has no 3D graphics and little voice acting, which I was unhappy with, but it's a Tag Force game, you can't go too wrong.

Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on February 04, 2016, 01:23:10 PM
Fusion weapon is slow (due to it being an equip card.) Skill drain is a good call. If you're running normal monsters, too, The First of The Dragons would be the way to go. This deck could barely be made viable but there are some suggestions. Also...

Emergency ban list!?! Thank God, I hated PePe. However, my Majespecters are not happy that Luster Pendulum is at 1 :(
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: ecolusian on February 05, 2016, 10:03:28 AM
but its such a powerful card fusion weapon is, even if it is slow, it can get cards to 3000 attack no problem. the first of dragons would definatly be a good idea, but what type of fusion cards should i use since i was gonna use non-effect fusion monsters, im thinking warrior type but spellcaster and zombie also look appealing.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on February 05, 2016, 11:13:40 AM
You'll draw into a dead hand with single purpose equip cards like that if you can't get out any fusion monsters. For example, your opening hand could be, Polymerization, Fusion Gate, Terraforming, Fusion Weapon and King of the Swamps. If Fusion Weapon wasn't there but a fusion material was there instead, you could have fusion summoned on that turn, instead, you can only set King of the Swamps or leave yourself wide open until you find a fusion material.

Also, don't pick based on type. Ever played a Tag Force game (1-3)? There's a guy called Faty who uses a normal fusion deck, perhaps you could draw inspiration from him. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Faty (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Faty) However, do remember that he uses old cards, so you may want to throw some new stuff in to make the deck more competitive.

Post by: yugitom on February 06, 2016, 07:43:22 AM
How exactly do you want to pull off fusions consistently? You need Polymerization (possibly  + Fusion Sage) and you need Terraforming to search Fusion Gate. As it is now, you can't pull off fusion summoning consistently. Also, you'll want to completely fill up your extra deck. Even if you can't find any viable Fusion Monsters, there's no point in your extra deck not being full in this case. Try adding 3 XYZ cards if you can't or won't add any more Fusion monsters. Curse of Anubis is a pretty good card to put in this deck, perhaps 3 could do you good, your choice, though. Oh God, just noticed you have 48 cards in your deck... Lord have mercy on your losing streak. Try getting rid of inconsistent cards such as Heart of the Underdog (more than 50% of your deck are Spell and Traps, you'll never use it well enough), swap Lightning Vortex with Raigeki, Fusion Weapon and Re-Fusion (unless you can find a way to make your deck consistent.) Oh yeah and, if, after all of that, you still have more than 40 cards in your deck, get rid of Pot of Duality. That's like having 3 Upstart Goblins in a deck of 43, it's just redundant.

That's my advice, I'd advise taking it all on board but if you don't understand why I told you to do certain things, feel free to ask.

eco, maybe add in First of the dragons?

Edit; I forgot about the whole "Normal fusions" thing. But with skill drain it doesn't have one XD Another idea is to use that continuous spell card that lets you draw every time you draw a normal monster. (Heart of the underdog?). There are also quite a few pendulums that boost normal monsters with effects.

Possibly try adding in some book of life. Really solid card for zombies, especially if you're sending them to the grave for fusions.

Or if you're willing to use pendulums, Dragon horn hunter and lancephorhynchus are good.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on February 08, 2016, 11:45:00 AM
The last thing he wants to do at this point is add cards without removing some first. Possibly get rid of; Royal Decrees (you rely on too many traps), Fusion Weapons and Re-Fusions. With the space you have, add monsters. Perhaps generic fusion cards that can substitute themselves for fusion materials, but it may break the normal thing you want going on with your deck.

Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: Elementos on February 08, 2016, 12:22:27 PM
Fusion weapon is too inconsistent. You'll have it as a dead card in your hand if you can't get a fusion monster out.

Again, Dragon horn hunter gives you boosts, and no battle damage when attacked.

Aternatively, maybe try clearing the field and going for direct attacks?
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on February 08, 2016, 12:50:16 PM
If you really want to play an equip spell, play Moon Mirror Shield. Can be used on any monster and your opponent can't attack over that monster as long as the card is equipped.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on February 08, 2016, 12:52:36 PM
Just don't use equip cards. Ample backrow will be what you need. At least you can rely on drawing into more of those instead of hoping your opponent doesn't MST your Fusion Weapon before damage calculation.

At best you're gonna have 5 water monsters on the field. 5*500=2500, then 2500*2=5000. 8000-5000=3000=No win. It's a nice combo, actually but it will never be consistent and/or reliable and it will only deal 5000 points of damage every time.

Big Bad Ben Kei coming for ya:
(https://i.gyazo.com/a5eaaae047602082c8bb7046047e19fb.png)

So yeah, went and made this. It's obviously not super consistent but I've tried to make it as quick as possible to stop people and their naughty backrow (or Farmgirl into Destroyer) antics. It's not competitive but thoughts?

Edit: I've just noticed that Psychic Blade can be equipped to any type of monster. I'm contemplating swapping a Fusion Sword for one. Any thoughts on that?

Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on February 23, 2016, 03:12:27 PM
They are :P That's why I said it's not consistent. Also, they're integral for the deck to function because of Ben Kei's effect. Besides, this deck isn't for competitive play, although you can trample Kozmo if they don't have sufficient backrow or a Destroyer in hand. Obviously, it's a glass cannon deck. If you don't hit 'em with first strike/attempt, you're done. Maybe I'll make a slower and more bulky/stall-y version so I can deal with backrow and stuff before Ben Kei hits the field but, really, there's no fun in playing a Ben Kei deck if you're gonna stall first.

On another note, I'm torn on what to play IRL. I really enjoy Majespecters but I seethe when I look at Raccoon's price tag, especially for a card I pretty much need 3 of. It's really the only set back I have from actually making that deck but I'll wait it out and try some more. When Ultimate Falcon comes out, I'll definitely try and have a crack at Last Strix + Skip Force.

No Moon Mirror Shield for Equip spell? Can help to attack over anything.

I myself am a bit displeased with Raidraptor Force Strix his price, while I really feel the deck needs that at 3. But I do want to give my Raidraptors their much needed upgrade.
I am unhappy. :<
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on February 23, 2016, 04:18:15 PM
The thing is, when I can allow his attack to increase to 8300, I really don't need Moon Mirror Shield and ends up become a detriment to the deck because it offers no extra attack power. This is an OTK deck, not a powerhouse deck because it's a massive glass cannon and can explode in an instant.

Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on February 24, 2016, 09:59:30 AM
Is that thing still outdated? That put me off the game entirely. Also, because there's no option to hold a cancel window, like in the DS games, you have to continually select 'No' in the activation window and it did my head in. I didn't want to set cards such as Rush Recklessly because I knew I would have to kill myself if I did.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on February 24, 2016, 11:14:27 AM
It is still outdated, was due to management issues and some more sh**. But now the Devs have gotten the green light to work on updates, so this your there will be massive bug fixing and then finally moving forward in format.
I do still enjoy playing it though.

Post by: yugitom on February 24, 2016, 11:29:00 AM
The problem with modern yugioh games is that I refuse to play them if they're even a set behind because it doesn't reflect the real meta and/or what people are playing in general and that's what I want from a modern yugioh game. It's either completely up to date or retro. Anywhere in-between and I won't play it because I'll think of it as 'outdated' and not 'retro'. Yugioh need a game in which they can keep it up to date constantly and I believe they're working on a new PC game, which I hope will be Yugioh Online 4 because then they can just keep updating it very easily. They could do the Pokemon TCG thing (packs get you packs for the PC game) to keep profits up, too. Never knew why they haven't tried that, yet.

Post by: yugitom on March 04, 2016, 03:48:11 PM
You're not running enough draw power. I imagine you end up bricking 8/10 matches. No clue what you're running 3 of betwixt Terraforming and Reckless Summon. I think I can kind of see what this deck is going for but I don't see it working, not without proper draw power to get a quick win before your opponent has time to lay out some decent backrow, or at least backrow destruction to combat that problem. Also, why are you running Clear Water at all? It won't work on any of your monsters because they have attack above 1300. The lack of good equip spells doesn't warrant running 3 Hidden Armory, either. Imagine if you drew into Bugroth and not Grizzly and you also had 2 copies of Hidden Armory in your hand. You'd be pretty screwed over, then. Why run 2 Dark Hole when the destruction of your own monsters doesn't benefit you? Just run 1 Raigeki and 1 Dark Hole, if you want monster destruction that badly.

You have a ton of dead draws in this deck and not enough monsters or draw power to make it at least kind of consistent. I'd imagine it'd just be brick after brick, playing this deck.

On another note; you gotta love highest ranked DN chat.

46 card deck? I said you need draw power. Upstart only belongs in decks of 40- because people only run it to thin their deck (running 37 card decks, essentially.) What is that card after POD? Cup of Ace has to go. Forget what that continuous spell does or what it's called, so you'll have to jog my memory. Magical Mallet is always a -1, so it's not too useful. Run Chicken Game x3.

Your opponent was a bit sh**.

Never quite seen a deck like yours before. Don't think it would survive in the current format but it looks pretty cool. Still, it killed me inside to Tour Guide and Chain at 3 and a deck with Instant Fusion without Norden.

Post by: powerrave on March 13, 2016, 11:05:47 AM
I knew I was forgetting something when making the extra deck. Still, using his own monster for game is fun. As for the opponent, at least it wasn't the game's Starter Deck, which is pure garbage... And noobs bring that in ranked games.

the deck I used... Well I like using more original things. and still having chain in this game is really helpful. Tour Guide is at 2 though.

So... I wanna kill myself because of the new banlist. Upstart at one? Why? They may as well just make a public statement saying they wanna screw over older decks that don't have much draw power compared to all the new decks. I'm glad Chicken Game is gone but limiting Upstart just wasn't needed.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: kill343gs on April 08, 2016, 01:22:51 PM
The problem is that the decks that generate their own advantage can also just play upstart on top of that to play a 37 card deck. It's no secret that they want people playing the new stuff, that's how they sell product. Why do you think pendulums are pushed so hard, just as nekroz got banned to smithereens?
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on April 08, 2016, 01:46:11 PM
Oh yeah, of course but the meta decks have something to replace Upstart with, such Kozmo and BA with their new Allure. People on Reddit think that they're hitting Chicken Game and Upstart because of Monarch F/OTK or just Monarchs in general but they don't need Upstart. Perhaps Magical Explosion Monarchs do but why don't they just ban Life Equalizer and Magical Explosion? They're the real problem.

Oh well, I'm still gonna be running a 39 card deck with D/D/D's. I've lost 2 cards from my main deck and one from my side (Wavering Eyes.) People are throwing around DD's name in the Reddit thread but I really don't think the ban list helps us at all. Allure banishes my lovely fusion fodder and I can't pick them up from the grave, either. Can't wait until we're past Kozmo and Monarchs in upcoming formats because I despise them. In fact, I could put up with PePe more than them (I hate Kozmo because they're actually too strong, I mostly beat Monarchs but everyone plays them, so I get annoyed when I see them.) With pendulum decks, spell destruction is key but it's so easy to side that stuff in, so why are they getting hit?

Also, it shouldn't have been Norden that got hit, it should've been Instant Fusion.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: kill343gs on April 09, 2016, 09:21:27 AM
I disagree with the last part. Instant fusion has been perfectly fine until noden came out. It's noden that was the problem. Hitting IF just hurts other decks that use it, punishing them because a new card that they don't even play exists. It's like how Laval's lost rekindling once firefist abused it. Or dragunities losing Ravine because konami released dragon rulers. I have when they do that.. Make an older deck unplayable because some new unbalanced BS that they released. I was a Laval player with a full foiled out main and extra including staples and Quasar back when it cost 90 bucks. My entire build was at one point worth around $400. And then because konami doesn't know how to balance new decks, I lost the core cardnof my deck.

i dont really mind the new banlist, i run level ones so thousand eyes restrict coming back is something im completely fine with as it allows me to branch out (first level one deck i made was for dystopia the despondent, i realise now that was dumb) and in terms of the draw power im not bothered too much provided they STAY FAR AWAY from heart of the underdog since i run a couple normal monster decks such as gigos, normal pendulums and level 6 synchro spam.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on April 09, 2016, 09:34:55 AM
You are right but people usually run 1-2 Norden, anyway and then just run 3 IF because you only usually see people getting Norden out once a duel. I've heard it said a few times on YouTube and Reddit that, with Norden, just leave him alone or ban him, there's no real point in doing anything in-between. If any of them should be banned, it's Norden, if any of them deserves to be limited, I think IF makes more sense than Norden.

i dont really mind the new banlist, i run level ones so thousand eyes restrict coming back is something im completely fine with as it allows me to branch out (first level one deck i made was for dystopia the despondent, i realise now that was dumb) and in terms of the draw power im not bothered too much provided they STAY FAR AWAY from heart of the underdog since i run a couple normal monster decks such as gigos, normal pendulums and level 6 synchro spam.
Eco, you obviously don't mind the ban list because you don't play competitively ('running level ones' will land you in the 'Other' statistic at a YCS.) Heart of the Underdog will never get hit because it isn't broken/even that good.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on April 09, 2016, 09:57:21 AM
Personally the banlist seems alright to me. The Upstart to 1 is odd and I thing a little uncalled for, but okay. That did hammer into my plans for my Raidraptors, but then seeing Allure going to 2... Okay I'm not even mad. Slighty disappointed maybe in Upstart to 1, but for me it doesn't hurt as much.
Wavering Eyes hit had me edit my Dinomist Gadget deck since I ran 1 main and 2 side. 2 side replaced with Spell-Shattering Arrow. 1 main replaced with a Time-Space Trap Hole, and worked a Rafflesia into the extra deck now. In the end it didn't hurt my deck that much to be honest.

Anyway, apart from the Adjusted List changes we already knew about, I think this ban list is terrible. I just don't want to keep running into Kozmo and BA, two decks I really hate. I really couldn't care less about Monarchs because they're just a glorified draw engine, now.

I don't mind the list too much and don't think it's that terrible.
Kozmo don't get hit because Konami is still making money from them. Same may be for BA since it's played a lot again. Only the Upstart hit I'm like "why even".

Post by: yugitom on April 09, 2016, 11:46:39 AM
Tbf, I'll just be happy if Upstart goes back to 3. Until then, I gotta throw in 2 slow cards in my DDD deck. Actually, even though I have no idea why a DDD deck would run Allure (because we don't like things out of reach, we like targets in grave), I may test out Allure and swap my Upstarts with 2 Allures. I'll see how it does. If I end up without fusion/Ragnarok fodder, I'll have to find something else suitable.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on April 09, 2016, 01:07:55 PM
I'm sure that'll be fun. Gotta admit that I don't like banishing from the hand in Raidraptors, Allure does dig deeper and then I can see what I don't really need. Raidraptors can go hard enough anyway.

Post by: yugitom on April 09, 2016, 02:20:56 PM
Yeah, looks alright. Not the biggest fan of r4nk gadgets (or r4nk spam at all, much.) Is Double Summon necessary? I'd imagine you won't need it when you have that Fish along with Dino pendulums. I've tried adding Starlight Road into a Evilswarm deck of mine but it always ending up clogging a bit, how well does it work for you?

Dinomists don't show up often for me, match-up wise, but, for the ones that I have faced, I've beat them. Do you do well with this deck? With Dinomists and Metalphosis, I'm not sure I'm liking the pendulum  archetypes Konami are putting out. I actually like PePe, believe it or not. Artwork looks nice and plays (played  ;)) well. The only other I think I like are DDD's but they're more of a pick 'n' mix archetype with everything going on and I never set scales with my DDD's, it's just fusion and xyz.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on April 09, 2016, 03:48:57 PM
I did find myself having use for Double Summon actually. I could have run a 3rd fish, but he can only special lvl 4 monsters, so my tuners would be left out. So that's why.
As for Starlight Road, it works very well for me. Before when it was still pure Dinomist I ran 2 and it got activated quite some times. But sometimes 2 just just too much, but 1 is perfect. Does also help that with my scales I have more targets.

Overall the deck does very well and it gives me a nice amount of options usually. Much better than pure Dinomist. Plus that the Gadgets help the deck nicely. Even if I get a Anti-Spell Fragrance in my face, that deck will still have options due to it not being fully Pendulum focused. A limited amount of options, but still. ... And they look like steam powered dinosaurs. I love it. But I often like mechanical styled monsters and whatnot.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on April 09, 2016, 04:22:35 PM
I suppose so. I actually think I have an aversion to Machines in Yugioh. I'm not a fan of the artwork of most of them, especially Dinomist.

Anyway, Allure seems to work fine as I usually draw into what I need or I get rid of D/D Fodder (Galilei). So, I have one more spot in my side deck because rip Wavering Eyes. I'm thinking about Poisonous Wind for the rogue Majespecter match-up because, as a guy that used to run them (may get back to it), I know they can be a b*tch to handle. What do people think?

Reading that card... Yeah I don't really see myself getting to activate that card that much. I'll stick to Double Summon seeing as I could activate that at any desired time.

So, I know it's pretty much me, powerrave, eco and Kill throwing stuff in here nowadays but are any of you guys interested in a fun little tournament? It'd only work if you guys have mates that are willing to participate. Perhaps there'd be a gimmick like a deck archetype pool or the Pegasus rule, something along those lines. Kinda wanted to do this for a bit and DN tournaments don't cut it for me because there's no real host participation and I'd like to record most, if not all, of the matches. It'll be a laff and would be cool if any of you guys could get any mates on board if you feel like doing this.

I know some people here don't like DN but we all know each other and are all familiar with the rules, so I'd rather host a tournament on that instead of YGO/DevPRO.

i havent played in close to a year but if youll let me play inferno tempest or token beat im in. my brother will play too.

id really like it if we did gimmick decks, like no real archetypes or something like that

Ah, cool, this is a nice reception. Before I do any post akin to signups, I'll let us agree on the gimmick/rules. For a little bit of freedom in deck choice but not to deter anyone like eco, perhaps we could go for a 'nowhere close to the meta' tournament, in which, not only can you not pick from the meta but, for sportsmanship, you musn't pick DDD's, Water (Mermails), Qlis, etc.

If no one raises any objections to this suggestion, I'll make the next post I make the signups post.

I prefer to run non-meta decks anyway (unless you count skull servants 'meta' :V)

Honestly I really dislike DN, but a tournament does sound interesting. As for special rule or whatever, I'd say "no tier 1 decks", only meaning what is currently at the top this format.

The only deck I have now that gets close is Raidraptors, but that's probably only with Ultimate Falcon. On the other hand, with the set he comes out, there will be so much extra deck hate that decks the live on an extra deck just can't play properly or can't play at all.

Edit: Another question popped up. If one is hosted, would we be playing the same deck throughout and does someone keep all the deck lists? Or can we pick a different deck per round? This is asked so that people interested can think ahead some.

Yeah, I was thinking (and said) no tier 1 but I was also thinking about excluding tier 2, as well, just for a bit of variety. If this goes down well, I'll host some more tournaments and they'll have different gimmicks or no gimmicks at all.

Another question popped up. If one is hosted, would we be playing the same deck throughout and does someone keep all the deck lists? Or can we pick a different deck per round? This is asked so that people interested can think ahead some.
I was actually thinking about this earlier today. I'd like the turnout to be enough that I needn't participate and I can judge the entire contest (i.e, keep decklists) because I'd like everyone to stick to one deck. If I do want/have to join the tournament, I suppose I'll have to allow the changing and modification of decks. Or run the tournament on the honour system :P

As for DN, I hope you can put up with it enough to just do this tournament on because it's nicely paced and I can record the matches in real time instead of uploading YGOPRO replays which no one can keep up with (I could slow it down in post but then it just looks weird and awkward.)

But would would all be considered tier 2? Could end up excluding too much decks that way.

Post by: yugitom on April 21, 2016, 12:44:36 PM
When I think tier 2, I think stuff that used to be tier 1 and aspiring tier 1 decks.  Stuff like Yang Zing,  Ritual Beast and aforementioned examples.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: kill343gs on April 21, 2016, 01:11:13 PM
My brother is a ritual beast player, but I know for a fact the 2 decks I'd be interested in playing wouldn't stand a chance against raid raptors or ritual beasts or yang zings.

So that would be a lot of decks that were ever tier 1. I do not support this.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on April 21, 2016, 06:20:30 PM
Well, not every single deck that was once tier 1. Just try going creative and having some sportsmanship for this one tournament. I might use Dustons :P I'm only trying to cater to the GTMers that say they're interested, even though they haven't played in the meta for a while. If they're up for it, I could do a normal tournament with no restrictions either now or after the proposed one because I'd like that, too.

I'd really like to see this tournament amount to a lot of really fun, gimmicky decks. If I wanted to keep playing real meta archetypes I wouldn't have quit yugioh in the first place.

I'm trying to think of what my brother could play....... Vylons or something... thats about as gimmicky as he ever got.

i may bring in my rank 1 spam deck or just bring in a turtle normal monster deck =p I feel I could get some lock down from that with the erat cards or am I being a scrub again? it can still get good power with crab turtle and I can even get some utility with dark catapulter for spell removal and don turtle for rank 3 xyz or using big wave small wave for the aforementioned lock down or just go straight for some defence bombing with high defence turtle cards and then using unity to make their defence even higher and making my opponent take loads of damage. i would have to run royal decree and since crab turtle is a ritual monster I may through in some of the ritual djinn cards, how does that sound? i might need to give it some focus, but we have time so I don't mind.

Right then, I think I'll make this post the signups, then. I'll write down all the names I've seen mentioned and please tell me if you can't/don't want to attend. By the way, because everyone works off different times, this won't be one big live tournament, every match will have their own agreed time, so don't worry about times. I don't see any reason to not enter due to time constraints short of having no time at all, which I totally understand. For now, I will exclude myself from the list because I'd rather have a judge who can keep track of deck lists and stuff but I'll jump in if one more person would do the trick.

1. Kill
2. Kill's brother
3. Trov's brother
4. Badnik
5. TRB
6. Powerrave
7. Sage
8. Yugi

I think, with the number of entrants, we'd be best off with a Round Robin format to get the most out of the tournament. Everyone okay with that? Also, Trov, you said your brother is still quite good, do you think he'd want to enter?

Alright, then. But, I'd like to trust that people are using the same deck throughout.

Also, post your DN names here so I can add ya. Confirming your place in the tournament doesn't mean you have to duel anyone soon, you just have to at some point, so if I get confirmation from Trov, eco and maybe powerrave  (don't know what he meant by his latest post) I'll get the brackets up and we can sort out some dueling times.

I think both should be fine. I don't see much of Raidraptors, so I'd encourage using that deck.

Ultimaya  Hieratics
Gishki
Pendulum Ninja
These are the kind of decks I'd definitely allow. However, I have no clue what Banish Dino is. Does that utilize Tyranno Infinity or something? Because, if so, that'd be sweet.

Alrighty then! The remaining cards that I also still need in real life come out in Shining Victories. Next week going to the Sneak Peek for it and hope to pull the desired cards. But yeah then I will play them to that planned build.

Right, I need to establish who, on the signups post, has yet to build a deck for this. Once everyone has, preferably telling us what deck they're running, I'll get some brackets up. I've decided to run Batterymen.

If anyone wants to help me playtest my build tonight shoot me a message on skype or here or something. Most people on DN just ragequit once I activate jam breeding machine.

I just went through the registration process and I see that it doesn't ask you to input anything twice, which is rather weird. So, you may have accidentally spelled your email wrong when signing up. Just give it another go and go over what email you wrote to see if it's correct. Same goes for your password, actually. Be careful you don't mistype that because there's no verification.

If that is the case, you may want to go for a different name because it seems that DN uses up the username regardless of whether or not you use the confirmation email:

Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on April 24, 2016, 02:06:52 PM
It's manual :P As long as you know the rules, you should be fine. I like it because of the pacing of duels and it doesn't reveal anything to your opponent like automatic duel systems do (for example, your opponent will know if you have a hand trap if he has to wait every time he makes plays because you have an activation window asking you if you want to activate it.) It's also brilliant for recording matches (like I said, due to pacing) and if you want to play with any special rules, you can, due to the fact that it's manual.

DN isn't hard to use :P Just read what stuff says when you hover over cards. For example, to discard a card, hover over a card in your hand and click 'To Grave'.

Oh yeah, also, make sure you're using the version I posted because normal DN has no card images.

That's not what I meant. You can't just fusion summon things, you need a spell card like Polymerization.

...do you even know how to play Yugioh?

Moderately. All the special stuff can get confusing, though. I will make changes post-haste!

A cease and desist order was filed against the owner of DN due to the use of the card images. Use this link (http://www.duelingnetwork.com/?card_image_base=http://www.yugioh.party/lowres/) to get card images. I did post this earlier but I'm assuming you didn't read back about 3 pages.

Here is what I have so far... I was messing around with Gishki and then I realized the Atlanteans make a powerful search engine for my combo pieces as well as improving OTK's. If including the Atlanteans is too much, I can use a more pure Gishki build or find something else. I am having fun toying around with ideas :)

You may just need some time to read up on stuff and catch up.

Trov's Bro, I did ban decks like Water for this tournament because I didn't want anything resembling the meta. It's your call and I trust your decision on whether the Atlantean engine is or isn't OP against non-meta decks.

Banning all water may be overboard. Sure atlantean with mermail is pretty insane, but Gishki haven't done as much for quite a long time tbh.

Pensulum summoning ios quite simple, actually. The pendulum cards each have a number on the red and blue gems either side of the text box, when you play two pendulum cards in the pendulum zones (either side of the main play area), you can, essentially, special summon any monsters between  the two numbers (e.g if I play a 1 and a 7, I can summon any monsters level 2-6). They're quite overpowered, actually, 'cause you can play them both in one turn (as spell cards, that is, because you can normal summon them like monsters), and just special summon a load of high-powered monsters. Yes, there are pendulums with 1 and 14 on them, and you can play them together. That is essentially a win for most matches.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on April 26, 2016, 06:21:09 AM
While strong, I wouldn't want to call it overpowered. You can only Pendulum summon once per turn. Pendulum cards when destroyed go to the extra deck, but the summon of one (or more) is negated, when a Pendulum card is discarded or detached as Xyz material, it'll still go to the graveyard. And with how Pendulum based decks are usually made, those cards will likely remain stuck in the graveyard. Banishing and all that other nonsence will still work the same on them.

One thing to mention is that cards in the pendulum zones can be attacked and destroyed like regular monsters. At least I think they can, I'm not too sharp on these pendulum things either.

Nah, they're treated as spell cards, so they're not monsters when in the pendulum zones.

No worries, I can find something else, I want to keep true to a more gimmicky deck. I will keep  Gishki Atlantean in my back pocket, if we decide to do a more competitive tourney (Tier2-3). I should have another deck picked out by tonight. I will post then.

You misunderstand 'Water'. 'Water' means Mermail-Atlanteans. Banning the attribute would be stupid.

I'd be fine with pure Gishki but a tad skeptical about throwing in an Atlantean engine.

If a Deck needs an oddly specific, unsearchable, card/set of cards in order to at least make basic plays/get itself going/etc, or else you just sit there and make awkward plays and hope for the best-

The yes, it's luck based.

Gets even stupider on the off chance said card(s) you are overly dependent on, are Semi-Limited/Limited.

Right, with Scrap Daddy added into the mix as the 10th participant, here's the final entrant list:

1. Kill
2. Kill's Bro
3. Trov's Bro
4. Badnik
5. The Red Blur
6. Powerrave
7. Yugi
8. Sage
9. Eco
10. Scrap Daddy

I have changed the bracket layout to Swiss. This means there will definitely only be 6 rounds, no matter the amount of participants and players are drawn up against each other based on their current win/loss record in the tournament. Once Scrap Daddy has told me what deck he's running, it's on with the tournament :D

Here's round 1:
Badnik vs Scrap Daddy
Trov's Bro vs TRB
powerrave vs eco
Kill vs His Bro
Me vs Sage

Please sort out times with your opponent on when you're going to duel. I would like to record as many matches as possible, so, when you have reached an agreement on when you guys want to duel, hit me with a PM with the time so I can see if I can make it and record the match.

So 9-10PM EST today? If so, I could stick around to record that, although it'd be rather early in the morning for me. If I don't show up, I'd be grateful if you could record it and send it over but it's by no means an obligation. I'll be happy if I just get the results.

You seem rather pessimistic about this entire thing :P You don't have to take any of this seriously, you know? If this entire tournament goes tits up for you, no-one will really care/mind. But, if that's what you want, sure. Just be sure to tell me what deck you're using/planning to use.

I'm not/wasn't that excited about SHVI, tbh. I didn't really care for the sneak peeks because there's nothing too enticing in the set, for me. I never usually run hand traps either, so I'm not looking for a GR&WC.

My friend was actually looking for the new Blue-eyes cards. And me of course for the Raidraptors. Plus I always enjoy the sneak peek tournaments.

So, J's dropped out. On the hunt for a replacement again!

What is Yogioh/"Yugimonz"?
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on May 16, 2016, 10:30:37 AM
It's just Yugioh, a card game. Considering your affinity with Pokemon, I'm assuming you caught on to the Yugimons bit but this has nothing to do with Pokemon.

Unless you're really fussed about spoilers, everyone check here (http://challonge.com/GTMDoesYuGiOh) for your next match-ups. Badnik, you've got Dan, my mate who's filling in for powerrave, so just tell me what times you can do in the next 7 days and I'll pass that on to him. Everyone else should be able to contact their opponents. If you can't, just pm me. Video for Dan vs Eco will be up whenever.

I've meanwhile been testing around with Gishki... This was my second turn. I think this is decent.

Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on June 19, 2016, 07:09:43 AM
How have you gone about doing that? Is it consistent/good against the meta?
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on June 19, 2016, 07:41:54 AM
How I did that? Pay a lot of LP while having Gishki do their Gishki things; keep summoning Zielgigas over and over again. then when I'd get low enough on LP, work towards having multiple Zielgigas on field if I don't have that already. Number 35 then boosts everything I have due to the difference in LP.

Honestly I think this can be pretty good vs the meta. Zielgigas is already larger than most of the stuff that Kozmo and PKBA summon. Monarchs with their fieldspell can be an issue, but I can manage. Also Zielgigas can, if lucky with his draw, spin away cards without targeting. So that's pretty good too.
Consistency... Well it bricks less than Monarchs lol. I can usually go around making Zielgigas on my first turn, but I'm still not 100% pleased yet, so I'm still trying out a lot to see if I can make it any better. Case of the screenshot, I figured I'd show what I am working on now. Gishki always been a favorite here.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on June 19, 2016, 07:53:23 AM
I don't brick that often with Monarchs :P But, that's an interesting combo. I love how the more complex and anti-meta decks become, the more they are open to the stuff the meta was formed around (Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder, etc.)
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on June 19, 2016, 08:15:13 AM
They are known for bricking though.
And that's often the case yeah. I usually go after backrow first, also running generic backrow removal in this. But I don't know if this Gishki is really to be counted as anti-meta. It's just doing aggressive plays like Gishki usually done, just with some newer tools mixed in.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: Trovs Bro on June 20, 2016, 08:36:23 AM
Were you inspired by me playing this in the tourney?  :) I love Zielgigas.
I would suggest trying an Atlantean engine. It not only gives you another way to OTK (and draw out pesky backrow) using prince and a water, but it can also search out your all important gishkis through dragoon searches.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on June 20, 2016, 09:58:20 AM
I've always liked the Gishki. Felt like it would be the better choice now to rebuild and use competitively (note I never run meta decks). I'm not sre how I feel about Atlantean though. I can see the synergy, but they would limit my access to Arc Light and overall rank 4 some. This is pretty much why I go with Red Resonator. Quickly sets me up for Arc Light as well as rank 2 plays.
Also, I main deck the level 10 Kaiju here, which actually works pretty well.

there was but was all played on DN, which isn't in much of a functional state right now.

Is that a recent thing? Being down I mean?

I can't remember what I used to play on...

Way, way, way ago it was KCVDS. Then YGOPro maybe? Maybe it was DN though... I can't remember...

Is/Was DN automated? I remember YGOPro being pretty amazing.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on July 18, 2016, 10:47:50 AM
DN isn't automated and it's only been down recently, along with YGOPRO after some cease and desists from a third party involved with Konami.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on July 18, 2016, 01:07:05 PM
Well Ygopro can still be played. And I'm sure it can still be downloaded from other sites. It's still being updated in the game itself. We also still have Devpro and Salvation server.

Also something new is being worked on called Dueling Book. Some people working on it are the same as who worked on DN. So that's something to look forward to for the DN fans.

Nah, that isn't legit.

Really sad that Percy had to take the DL for YGOPRO down. Kinda hope he goes back to making YT vids, now. I'm also on the side of YGOPRO when it comes to that vs DevPro, so I'm actually kinda hoping DevPro gets hit, too :P
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: powerrave on July 18, 2016, 02:48:49 PM
If you say so. And on Devpro that's just mean. Like I said, you can still just play on Ygopro. Just not download from official site.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on July 18, 2016, 03:09:46 PM

Let's hope TCG banlists starts looking like OCG banlist.

Post by: DarkMatterGaming on March 17, 2017, 11:14:03 PM
That banlist was a work of art. Still find it insanely funny that they've gone through 3 formats in the time that it's taken the TCG to get one banlist.
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on March 18, 2017, 12:24:45 AM
Well, we go through the same formats as them. Formats are just definitions of the meta. I know what you mean, though. Maybe TCG Konami are feeling apprehensive because money (Zoo have, nearly, been given the all secret rare treatment, so they are the most expensive engine ever) and Links in July.

Not much, glad to see GTM is still kicking. Wish I was here when you guys did that Yugioh tourney, but for now I'm just trying to relearn how to play the game now that they've changed so much.

Duelingbook at least lets you play without Link monsters in unrated
Title: Re: Yugioh/"Yugimonz"
Post by: yugitom on January 08, 2018, 07:28:22 AM
Or you could use the ygopro version without Links, which is technically the 'stable' non-beta version. Or, you could learn the new mechanics and not be a filthy casual ;) You could also always play True Draco Demise. It's meta relevant and it doesn't use extra deck summoning mechanics. Decks like Monarchs, Kozmo and True Draco have always been a filthy casual's best gateway into the metagame.

I'm indifferent to Links, honestly. I'm just happy there's potential for so much diversity in the TCG meta. The OCG meta is soooooooooooo ****ing diverse, atm. We just gotta catch up, real quick. TCG meta is currently stale with crippled SPYRALs running around.
