>That 'banlist'

No thank you

I've had only two fun duels ever since I got promoted to plat a few days ago.
Fighting in gold is too easy, plat is too hard.

it sucks

>2 days to climb to plat 1
Can I do it?

tldr on this deck, It does dies to ash doesn't?

I wouldn't say it dies to Ash, you have extenders (the holiday streamers, cyberse goodstuff) and Ash bait (the search spells).
Maybe if you play Unchained Twins, which is a lot more vulnerable to Ash.

With live-twin? Probalbly if you load it with handtraps.

>It does dies to ash
Nah. It dies really hard to gamma though.

>no banlist fix in sight
This game is fucking dead

There's a fair chance that was not the full banlist and are not announcing the URs so people don't abuse the extra dust when craftng

You can craft a Benten for a free secret pack now though lel

I'm been grinding gems since release now, did all 3 events to full and i'm now considering just abandoning to game and going back to nexus/EDOPRO.
I can't deal with cointoss meta anymore. The most fun I had with this game was in Yea Forums rooms.

You have like 4 ways to start you combo, traps that revive+link summon and stuff like Cyber secretary

What about the SRs? Skill drain, Block dragon, Tenki, etc.
They need to limit those at least.

Best of luck user.

If you have enough UR dust, you could take the chance to craft multiple VFD and see if you get a shiny/royal and then after the banlist drops you either didn't get any shiny/royal and get 100% of your dust back or get some extra dust, so yeah I wouldn't announce any URs or the full ban list before implementing it

They said the refund is only up to the difference in how many copies you're allowed to use
I.e. Beten going from 3 to 1 means you only get the extra 20 dust on the first 2 copies you trash

I can't understand a word this man is saying but it seems based

It doesn't work that way. They clearly only refund to full only if you have 3. Cards with over 3 won't get an extra 20 dust points.

At least that is what I understand from the announcment.

>decide to have one duel before going to sleep
>opponent uses a pot, decide to hold onto blassum and see what kind of deck I'm against

Alright then, I'll take it

You dont get infinite refunds.

I meant if they were to fully BAN a card

Naw even if that happened its only worth crafting a card thats getting banned if you'll get a secret pack freebie out of it
I got 20 UR dust from some garbage that came from making a Benten

Oh, I get what you say. So it is a 10% chance of extra point.

That's clever.

oh, good point
now with this pull I'm ready for the Edison Format event that they'll never make

I'm surprised I've never once seen anyone play Mind Control/Brain Control. Especially since Brain Control is only a rare.
>useless turn 1
>targets

Brain Control will never have a valid target

Just play Enemy Controller instead.

What the fuck is Konami thinking unironically?
>servers not upgraded can't have any more than 20 deck slots
>not enough people working on a banlist so we can have an updated banlist every month like duel links
>not enough animations
>badly coded home screen

The duel links version had me thinking it was for normal summons only

Going to start paying attention to how often my opponents end their turns with a main deck monster on the field. Seems like it might be usable in magical muskets.

Nevermind

What is even the point of this game? Why have yet another game with its own banlist? Players now have to decide between TCG, OCG, Duel Links or MD. Is it really that hard to create a simulator with multiple formats and do your microtransaction shenanigans there? And doesnt even make sense from a financial standpoint. Master duel players are pretty unlikely to spend money on the physical card game and vice versa, most will stay in their bubble

It's a video game version of Yugioh. It's not that complicated. It's really not difficult to adjust from TCG to MD banlist.

Speaking of a Yugi deck, it's fucked up that still "toy" isn't a real archetype.

He didn't say it was hard to adjust. He's asking why go though the trouble of making a simulator faithful to paper just to add another split between TCG and OCG? Why section off even more players when this program could have been a way to enjoy both formats together? You appeal to both audiences and can even get better data on what format people like more.

>He
Don't you mean you?

How do I build a Twins deck, bros? I already have my boomer deck, so I want a shitposter archetype to play. Madolche doesn't really seem to hold up in current year.

MD is best of 1, it should never use the same banlist as the TCG or OCG

you put the main engine in then fill the rest with handtraps
main engine meaning all the cards you need for the combo

Staying in Gold is more fun.

>main engine meaning all the cards you need for the combo
I didn't actually know the terminology, but that's what I mean to ask about. Is the "main engine" just the Live Twins cards and I should just add in support from to protect/help them? Or are they meant to be the support for a separate like "boss" character type card?

You say that but either of the banlists would unironically be healthier than the one we got a few days ago.

Assumingly because they dumped the bugmen and everyone else in the same pool so they can't exactly have a 1:1 tcg or ocg banlist because there are plenty of decisions on one side's banlist and deck preferences that pisses the other off. OCG players love ftk and control decks, TCG players tend to despise both of them
In my personal opinion since its a best-of-one video game it needs a different banlist than either, and certainly a lot more than they're doing.
They definitely /aren't/ doing enough with this game in terms of making it fun for casual and non casual players that aren't interested in playing against the same 3 decks in 70% of their games for months on end and having the same fun killing cards played against them over and over

I don't know the specifics but basically pick some generic link 4 bosses like Unchained Abomination since the twins actual boss link isn't in yet and use the maindeck twins to make the link twins, you'll have a lot of extra space for other shit so you could use some of the twins spells/traps or generic good shit

Fun fact, this was errata'd in 2017, brain control used to work on anything.
They could put it to 3 and would make no difference.
Fuck they could make Change of Heart to 1 and still wouldn't see much use.

They need a permanent rotating event format that just has complete meme banlists, even if the rewards are low it'd be a good way to showcase different kinds of decks via loaners.

That's pointless, MD is its own thing and has its own audience though a huge part of it is TCG players, but there's no way the physical and digital versions cannibalize each other. If anything MD has pulled quite a lot of people into playing paper format.

Not Yugi's deck, but aren't Speedroids entirely an archetype of different doys?

Upgrading my Trains to Earth Machine deck, any bro tips or something i should know about it?

>Fuck they could make Change of Heart to 1 and still wouldn't see much use.
If mind control doesn't see any use then I don't see why Change of Heart would. You maybe lose like 1k damage not being able to attack with the monster and needing to use it as link material main phase 1 instead of 2, and I really doubt the no-tributing restriction is stopping people from using Mind Control. I use Zombie Necronize at 1 in one of my decks and it's fun but not optimal.
Yugi's "Toy" archetype monsters are more like toy soldiers and toy tanks.

Didn't they unban Snatch Steal once and it worked out terribly? I don't see Change of Heart getting off without an errata.

I agree, hearthstone's weekly event things were always pretty enjoyable years ago, give me that plus a casual queue and I'd maybe even spend money on the game here and there

>physical and digital versions cannibalize each other
That would be a good thing for their bottom line. The margins on digital product is so much greater than physical. Not even just for packs but for in-game tournaments using paid gems too.

This is my deck

Attached: 20220428_033425.png (806x913, 712.23K)

Snatch Steal is a equip steal and can be searched.

as it stands it's mostly an engine yeah, there is a boss monster but it's pretty hard to build into because lol main deck monster (they'll get a better boss soon enough)
the main engine as i said is 3 of each base live twin, 2/1 of the holiday ones, 3 sunny snitch/3 passwords to draw into them
for non-archetype support 3 parallel exceed is incredibly good, then also cyber secretary
for the ED you're gonna have the evil twins naturally, masquerena, then mostly link 4 boss monsters plus the link disciple / devotee combo which i can explain

No one ever reads Goliath's protection effect
You can make Zeus in main phase 1 with a harvester and a level 10 if shit looks dire
Try not to lock yourself out of your Xyz toolbox too soon with Dozer if you can avoid it
You don't have much wiggle room in your extra deck but Equimax makes a pretty good beatstick if you need to steal a game and can't get to a train.

Snatch Steal lets you take your opponent's Apollousa and use its negates on their turn. Change of Heart forces you to either use it as material for something, or crash it into one of your opponent's higher attack monsters, or else it goes back to them.

Lmao what a match

thanks, last thing.
CORE STAPLE CARDS?????
AHHHH WHY NEED SOO MANY FUCKING HANDTRAPS EVEN IN MY 4FUN U.A. DECK REEEEEEE

Oh, and if you have Gear Box in your hand and Bullet Train in the GY at the end of your turn you can
>Enemy main phase
>Use anger knuckle to chuck Box to summon Bullet Train
>They either take the bait and attack its 0 defense or you blow it up with Overdrive or Citadel
>End of turn, get Box back and search Anchor Drill with it
>On your turn use them both to make Dingirsu

Can you actually get a decent winrate with a cook stall deck? It seems like every quarter decent deck has an out without even trying.

The usual shit, Ash/Maxx C plus whatever you have room for. The deck has good draw power so don't sweat going over 40 cards too hard in this shitshow meta.
Some backrow removal is good, I use twisters + duster instead of lightning storm since the deck is already full of monster destruction but you can run whatever really. Evenly Matched might also be good if you wanna focus more on going 2nd.

Wew what a trip, I wish they put more wacky shit in duel live more often.

Master duel is sooo soulless...

>Why have yet another game with its own banlist?
Because the card economy in MD can't be compared to limited existences in both TCG and OCG, you need to assume 100% of the players have or can get 100% of the cards, no need of reprints or buying boosters, you can just craft it

Also both TCG and OCG have good and bad things in their banlists, adjusting MD to it's own banlist is the right way to go

lvl monsters should be a real thing

They are real
Really bad

Thanks buddy!
