Now that the dust has settled

What killed Master Duel?

Yugitubers

lack of meta changeup and somehow even shittier banlist than either TCG or OCG

>every rogue deck bricks like crazy, is easily stopped via 'C' / various hand negates, stopped by a floodgate or sets up a board that can be easily taken out via busted ass field clear cards
>meta is either an overwhelming victory or the same thing as above because you bricked by somehow drawing a hand full of going second cards

The fact that YGO has just become WAY too complex for newcomers and old players who wanted to try it out again, which could have been fixed if Konami had made more alternate game modes, but that would require effort.
Basically, Konami being Konami.

>TCG/OCG
Denial of slurpers of being DoA.

This, played for 3 months (honestly longer than I should have) and got tired of the same shit. Running just one event a month and not bothering to have a casual queue didn't help either.

any decks that can easily summon spell canceller?

Pendulums and Links

Being a Bo1 format

How would a casual mode even work anyways? People would still run total cancer for free wins, right?

They had a chance to try something new and make MD kind of it's own format between the TCG and OCG, using the past year of paper players "beta testing" to figure out the cards to hit and how the format should develop. Instead Konami is just cycling though the same shitty meta with a half baked OCG-like banlist.

Unironically the first 4 months of Master Duel will be looked on fondly another 6 months from now, you can cap this post. It's actually only getting worse from here.

>complex
>It's just walltext fluff and specific effects with speciffic cards

>someone unironically believes we will get new cards on May 9
3 months between packs, boiz. No need to cope.
The leak is too big and has program update with new bundle and duel pass. It is what some literal who eceleb told about in twitter. The final update of "Part 1" - structure deck. We will get structure deck+banlist on May 9. Next packs = "Part 2" start

Konami

They've literally already confirmed the new packs, user.

Konami really does have a unique way of fucking unparalleled with other companies. When other companies fuck up, it's usually because of greed, but Konami fucks up by simply being lazy and incompetent with anything that isn't pachinko.

read the in-game announcements

I cope.

you cant expect them to ban stuff like rhongo/vfd when they go out of their way to make animations/avatars and other similar shit

What is there to cope? We are getting monthly pack releases and the game has been so generous I am not even sure what I want to build at this point. I couldn't be happier with the current state of the game.

>IO is banned in both formats
>is a disgrace to card design, being the most common answers to the card are the ones it counters
>yep lets give it an animation in our BO1 only game!
It's a shame because the potential feels infinite with a game like this. I unironically think they feel threatened by the game's success and think it would eat into paper sales if they did it right. I refuse believe a company of this size would be this incompetent.

It's still alive and well, and oh yeah player count on steam alone without phone fags and shut is back from 20k to 40+k daily plus we're getting nrw uodates soon ;)

He probably already spent all of his gems and UR dust

>What is there to cope?
I predicted everything wrong. Or either Konami decide to push new content faster

So is it best to craft staples in pairs, since Konami might release them in more bundle deals?

>I refuse believe a company of this size would be this incompetent.
You were clearly never a Silent Hill fan.

>leaks
Discarded. Leakers are all faggots regardless of if they are right or wrong. They are just as bad as youtubers and worse than streamers.

The big brain one would be crafting one so you can safely pull another randomly and have one to spare for bubdles

>waiting what could be literal months to get a good card
Eh.

Me
It was all me
I killed it

yugioh just plain old sucks ass

relative to every other online card game or game in general
>meta barely ever changes because they can't/won't nerf/buff cards, just a handful of bans
>pve is nonexistent
>can only build one deck playing for free unless you want to slave harder than mmos
>customization is dogshit (a fucking BASKETBALL?)
>secret pack garbage
>no unranked
>no incentive to play ranked above gold
>turns take 4 fucking days and the timer just doesn't tick down sometimes
and like so many people have mentioned, cards with walls of text aren't exactly friendly to new players. i've managed to get the gist of the game after playing for awhile but the first 2 weeks are awful

Nugioh being aggressively unfun to play.

No good social match making. The ranked is either 0/10 incomplete shit decks or 10/10 I play meta and lack autonomy. The room system is shit, also half the fucking timer so combo kids actually play their shit fast and punish those who can't play it with a force dc. It would be nice if Allistar, verte, and Herald of ultimateness were all forbidden.

>f2p multiplayer card game
It was never alive

>>pve is nonexistent
Solo mode is actually pretty cool. I just wish they'd do like weekly releases.
>can only build one deck playing for free unless you want to slave harder than mmos
This isn't true at all.
>customization is dogshit (a fucking BASKETBALL?)
Agree but at least they seem to be addressing this no
>Secret pack garbage
It IS dumb but easily gotten around at least
>no unranked
No idea why people want this so bad. It just means everyone would play cancer
>no incentive to play ranked above gold
True.
>turns take 4 fucking days and the timer just doesn't tick down sometimes
Yugioh always has long turns. It's just the nature of the game, sadly.

everyone already plays cancer above silver and i shouldn't have to intentionally gimp my rank to have fun

>and i shouldn't have to intentionally gimp my rank to have fun
But you're only going to encounter cancer meta players looking for easy win.
This isn't MTG or Shadowverse or even Heartstones. Yugioh in particular has a fanbase that cares about winning over everything else every single time.

>can only build 1 free deck
What the fuck are you even playing? Are you a hero nigger or something because unless half your deck are archetype exclusive UR you absolutely can build 1 or 2 pet deck with minimal playtime.

animations are too slow and lag makes everything even worse. playing on edopro is significantly faster and going back to md is painful.

Shit will get different soon and you will not like it.

Do any of you faggots actually play the game, or is this some creative writing exercise?
90% of the issues brought up in this thread are either completely overblown or straight up made up.

Besides grass and dangers what can make 60 cards Quants work

no casual mode is a huge fucking issue that forces people to lose on purpose just to stay in a lower rank

>can only build one deck playing for free unless you want to slave harder than mmos
Stopping there, you obviously don't even play the game

>Build one deck

What? I built IDs, Endymion, live twin. How the fuck you end up with one deck.

The only difference between gold and plat is that plat players are slightly less shit at the game.
I logged all my matchups last season, and the meta vs non meta ratio is basically the same.

Didn't mean to reply to you.

Are exorsister actually good/better than shit like prankid+token or people play it because waifu?

Can't wait for bunch of user learning to hate Yugioh more with adventure shenanigans

Pure waifu deck. It's too reliant on opp moving shit in GY and they are like Baroness that their useful effects are once per summon. You probably gonna need to rely on their archtype Spell/Trap to actively disrupt opponent but even then their real good cards came several packs later.

Do cards like Fissure and Macro Cosmos block Ash/Maxx/most handtraps since they can't be sent to the graveyard?

yes

>I refuse believe a company of this size would be this incompetent.
MDfags were warned plenty of times by other ygo players and still ignored therefore here you are... as the only one to blame. Learn the fucking lesson already.

It's always hilarious how it used to have 80k consistently and then nosedived to cope territory (20k-40k) from 250k.

I'll kill you fuck I forgot your name was but you're a schizo. Dividedbyzero I think. Fucking die.

But no Yea Forums doesn't play the game I'm taking a break until we get those robot dinos with the gimmick of halfing your LP

>Start duel
>Have to watch someone's twenty minute combo every time
Genuinley a boring game now. Plus all those tranny-esque monster designs that are just FotM anime characters.

I don't see the hype behind ghost rares, opened one yesterday and could barely see the art.

It depends on the card in question. Some of them look good, some look like shit. Same with the gold border cards and even the royals in MD

>all those tranny-esque monster designs
What does this even mean

If the handtraps said discard, then no
But if the handtraps said "send this card from your hand to the GY", then yeah

Yugioh just isn't a fun game anymore. It's all just boring solitaire matches filled with delusional people suffering from an extreme case of sunk cost fallacy.

Yugioh being complex is a meme, you can steal decklists, follow step by step guides and a lot of the time decks end up playing the same way each game. You're mistaking complexity with the fact that the game is frontloaded with the sheer number of cards, effects, archetypes and how they play. That's not complexity, it's just a knowledge check.
t. someone who had only ever played schoolyard yugioh prior to master duel and has made it to plat

i really fucking can't take this shit anymore man! I can't fucking believe we will play the same fucking format for who knows how long! I can't see herald anymore, or VFD or Block Dragon + 3, Rhongo, 8 Materials Zeus HOW THE FUCK ARE THESE STILL LEGAL KONAMI ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME ARE YOU EXPECTING ME TO PLAY THIS SHIT FOR SEVERAL MORE MONTHS?!

Not me, and never heard of that guy.
You might be the schizo here.
