DON'T WANT TO BUY BONFIRE? HOW ABOUT AN ENTIRE DECK INSTEAD? 

700 posts of pankratops and called by the grave because those are the only ones ever

@@ungulatemanalpha Vanity's and Fiendish Chain but that was after people realized they were good. Vanity also suffered because it was a card from Starstrike Blast.

@@ungulatemanalpha There's also Parallel Exceed, Scrap Raptor, The Dragon Rulers, Sunlight Wolf for Salad, Gravity Controller, Vanity's, the Barrier Statues, Appointer of the Red Lotus, Lost Wind, Pot of Greed was a rare in the first set of the game. Amazing how many great meta cards were common/rare.

Gen and Ken is 100% the most notorious example in recent times.

@@kamenridersliv555 Thank you, forgot about them. Cross-Sheep is another as well as Trap Dustshoot. And I wouldn't call this chase or meta, Baobaboon saw some experimentation when it came out.

I stand by Swordsoul and Floo being the best budget entry points for competitive Yugioh

@@kalamander8563 agreed, except eff those commie birds and their "our turn" style of play 😆

@@FaolanKitekaze I used to play Floow but I hate that Empen is a floodgate and I feel bad playing floodgates

@@That_Daily_noko same reason I never played the gimmick puppet lock in branded. Did calamity lock a poor soul in MD though with bystial Resonator once, but I felt bad after winning

@FaolanKitekaze same. I Hate the deck, but I respect it. The deck, not the players.

YES

Fawlty

@@nicholasfarrell5981 "always had the sign outside being messed with and re-arranged"

Shhh dont tell em

@@alexandrubragari1537 Who taught the fish how to synchro summon???

As I came back to yugi I build a deck for my gf and it was ice barrier. Experimented with ghoti and fish and water in general. They laughed. Now our time has come!

Too soon imo

@@agoodname6997 agreed MBT needs to have more class that was insensitive

@@agoodname6997 not like matpat wasnt a shit dude, spoken as someone who grew up on his videos

Guys, it’s a casual honoring thing. Let him be

lmao what did he do. always drama somewhere on youtube

Spell card? Full armored xyz?

it now has 3 bentens and 3 orange lights (if you really wanna play them), so now as it stands its only hits are not having eva & union carrier, and since most drytron players have pivoted to different win conditions (chaos max & amorphactor) the eva ban is meaningless. Also orange light was hit for tear not drytron.

Yeah but tbf, those were extenders out of archetype. It got hit then later unbanned most of its core. The rest is icing after its long bout at the top cuts. The only thing stopping it from hitting top 64 ycs is confidence to push through bystials and side deck. Especially with everyone deciding to put in dd crows and ghost belles. Like virtual world i think it has a shot.

I would rather play Herald turbo than any of the current Drytron variations. They are a snoozefest.

Same with digimon for 130 I think you can build the top two meta decks in the game.

@@DrAiPatchi feel like all of three ppl play digimon so the decks should not be above $100…

fr, every ygo player needs to look at meta pokemon decks and their prices once in their life.

Ain't nobody care about us 😂😢 Been playing volcanics since before the support back when lose1turn was so amazing.

Was

Was hyped too but not anymore with th price tag xD

Me too, but we can do without. Not worth spending money on something stupid to prove how committed you are

100% sure the price will drop in about a month of TCG release. Only like 2 deck types would run it and they'd be considered rogue at best. Still sounds like a lot more fun decks than the meta decks, but meta doesn't want you to play and another ROTA for a less supported monster type isn't gonna make it meta in a single set.

It top 8’d a remote regional this month, so that’s something

20 minute turns for an endboard that's fucking nothing

Machines, in general, are fairly budgetable. I'm on Machina/Symphonic Warrior, a neat matchup of archetypes.

​@@Bricktor you put some respect on juggernaut liebes name

@@BricktorThis is the big turn off for me. I played it on MD and spinning your wheels forever for 2 pieces of disruption is unfun imo. Might aswell play combo, your turn will be the same length but you win games on the spot if your combo resolves.

Yeah, but then you're playing Crusadia

Crusaida in 2024 yugioh is not winning many games

Bonfire is literally ROTA for a bad type, it could have come out years ago and nobody would have cared.

People like to forget when mechanicalchaser was $200? The game actually has gotten better in accesibility. Still an issue tho

@@ThunderflySc2 $200 should not be the bar for this kind of thing, just because it was once upon a time.

@@AoyagiMei please read my comment again.

​@@ThunderflySc2 Too late, your comment was not immediately "I agree" so you're now corpo scum by internet rules. Jokes aside, as someone who's been playing in tournaments and regionals since 2011 when I was a dumb broke middle schooler, I'm just happy we've made some progress.

Considering you usually change decks every few months only, 100 dollars or so isn't a hard ask

Spend $100 and the deck survives multiple formats? Thats extremely good compared to a $70 video game you beat in 3 days and never touch again

@MaliEndz are you gonna buy a deck and play it for 3 days and never again? That's not a fair comparison if you use a single player game and compare to a multi-player card game. It has to be a multi-player game with competition like a fighting game or a MOBA or some other type. Which those games can be anywhere from Free to maybe $60-70, assuming you already own the console, which can gives you free access to everything the game has to offer. Where yugioh struggles is that if you dont have access to everything because they are all stuck behind multiple paywalls. If I'm playing Ryu in street fighter but want to play Guile or Dhalsim I can pmay them for no extra charge since i already own the game. But say if you spend X amount if money on let's say a Tearlament deck but then decide later you want to play Rescue ACE, you have to spend more money to get the cards. The only thing that stays constant are potential staple cards that can fit into multiple decks.

@@maestrotritone5975 it is a fair comparison. You are saying that $100 is still asking for alot on a deck when alot of these budget decks last months if not years until they see any hits if ever compared to other hobbies where you spend the money for a couple hours of enjoyment. MW3 being a great example of a $70 activity for a 3 hr campaign and a multiplayer you will give up shortly after

@MaliEndz Are you gonna spend $100 on a yugioh deck and give up on it shortly after? Or are you gonna be long term with it? Because if you wanna make comparisons you have to use the same setting for it to be fair. Playing yugioh over the course of months or years is not the same as playing a game for 3 days and never again.

heckin Elden Ring and Starfield for the price of 1 card.

And imagine you need two more after that 🙃

The fact that you can get all six mainline Ace Attorney games *and* the Great Ace Attorney duo for roughly the same price as a _single_ bonfire, Really just illustrates how absurd its price point is

Don't be dumb with your money

I hate mikanko, ill have to buy it 😆

Traptrix still has a massive going second problem since you are main decking so many traps that are conditional on your opponent summoning monsters, something they don't have to do on turn 3 to dismantle your entire board assuming they let you make one.

@@frig7014 You can say the same thing about loads of budget decks this format (irt having a problem playing into a board). If you're playing on a budget you're not gonna see the same level of success as people spending $1000 on a deck. That's okay, and literally the point of the video. They're certainly more worth discussing than Earthbounds or Megaliths.

@@nightwish7074 well some of these decks listed like drytron and virtual just have an infinitely easier time playing into a board. Traptrix *specifically* has a very hard time playing into a board if it didn't open a non engine board breaker because it only has 2 cards in its archetype that remove monsters already on the board (pudica when special summoned, and atypus) getting either of those two effects off requires being able to already get decently thru your combo. Compare this to drytron which can immediately contest something on the board by making anima, has sufficient board spamming capability to go into generic extra deck outs, and has natasha whichc an steal up to 3 monsters to use for even more link climbing & lethal pushes.

@@frig7014 Exosisters

I got the $75.00, but I'm short on pocket lint. Got anything else?

lyrilusc fire king is surprisingly competent

Probably because it's not competitive, even with the support :( It has a lifeline in the TCG via triple Crossout (can search Peces/Shef and the little lure dude) that'll keep you from getting fish-out-of-watered by a singular hand trap...but eh

its prolly b/c the react to this one was borderline immediate

Then we queue up and lose to max c :)

Welp

i call it the super fun variant, rn pure with d shifter loop and super poly is just better. Sadly i hate that version is so booring. But krystia solos basically this format. My fav still goes to adventurer frog version

Its topped multiple times, that meme isn't true anymore

is stalling for time a legit strat against dinomorphia?

I can see transaction rollback being good in that deck which is like a $40 card

Sleepy girl mass banishing the opponent's stuff is so funny

Tri Brigade is also pretty cheap, like $130.

You've identified the problem with that build, it is totally possible and I'm doing something similar, but with the good (expensive as shit) cards you can do all that with a minimum number of the beast-warrior fire kings and have all that juicy non engine room too.

Just throw in the Dogmatika engine.

SP is not necessary.

@@spicymemes7458 Exactly. Was saying it was the only expensive card in the deck (and only run it cuz I pulled it)

@@YourKingSkeletor Mukracker is more important to DW than SP imo. You got this.

@@YourKingSkeletor cool that you pulled it

the thing is, spright was or still is the closest thing we will ever get to modern BA, and as far as toolbox enjoyers goes, we have exactly 3 decks to play rn, Spright(s variants), Rank 3 axis goblins, and exosister( rank 4 toolbox). In my locals its still popular cause the people who play them like me really like them, elf ban hurst, and roninban is super bad but we just splash another rank2 thing in. Its just the classic meta hoe shit. trust me pre snake eyes diverse formats there where around 40 decks viable most people don't know about cause its buried in discord channels. then tier 0 hits and welp , no wonder people just don't care to experiment.

and brazil isnt even that low income. imagine being venezuelan, yugioh cards better than their currency 😂 pay off a mortgage with them 😢

@@OsirusHandle I feel ya man. I feel ya.

@@OsirusHandleI heard World Of Warcraft currency is worth more than Venezualan $. Its crazy.

and it got its last support at a time full power tear izizu was a think XD. Its so sad cause its the xyz Archtype of the branded story but ehh. they where scared cause zeus prob.... Anyways goblin riders look excellent rn, will def be tiered after hits of snake eyes.

Ye don't fire kings just play into any of the exosister gy effs?

A lot of decks just end up playing in to it but exosister has really easy ways to remove all their resources with all the banishing and the ability to entirely lock down the gy too.

Dinomorphia Floo? I NEED to see this jank

pls as a old reliable floo user need to see that shit, i brick harder than darkworlds with base floo already lmao.

Then your going have heart attack hearing that 40k budget strategy is five hundred dollars

@@echo5entertainment169 I don't believe so. I was talking to a shop owner who was telling me that the starter sets can be competitive and they're less than 500 plus upgrades

A budget magic the gathering deck is about 300+ depending on the format.

​@@echo5entertainment169wtf

A budget deck is $100 only if your budget is $100. There are plenty of functional, even good, decks that cost less than that.

yep! I've not been to locals yet, but I have built this deck, and I feel pretty confident in it

problem is everytime som ask for combos they get send a 40+ site spreadsheet. ...its like darksouls of Yu-Gi-Oh. You just torture yourself. Anyways iam playing synchrons since 12 years so for me that again is easy but ohter people want to die. So prob goes for som playing ddd for 8 years.

@@nsreturn1365 honestly, I know it seems very daunting, but most of the combos resolve the same once boiled down into their simplest parts. Maybe my perception is a bit skewed cause I’ve had a fairly decent grasp on how the deck functions at most stages of its life since release. I wouldn’t say its combos are particularly difficult, just a bit more involved. Extra steps never hurt anyone, though I get why it’d turn people off. I guess we’re just relegated to unplayable hell for the time being 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

for plunder is runick necessary, adventure is a budget and also good option cause it protects your equips

The Block button is your greatest ally there.
