It's time to summon Icejade Ran Aegirine - Yugioh Masterduel Replays 

Fyi tremora can ss kairyu since you shiyddnt run legendary Ocean in icejade

Din’t worry I know. Legendary ocean does not work with Icejades. Level modification can mess up syncho summoning. I do have plans to try out the Umi support some time in the future along with Sharks/ stealth kragen. I want to find that Icejade strategy that really clicks with me eventually 😁. I would have never guessed there were so many Icejade enjoyers out there. They are almost never seen on Masterduel.

That was definitely the dream hand. Felt so good. I’ve actually been stuck in a platinum 2 and 3 loop because my luck with match ups has been quite bad ( just a lot of floodgate and otk players 😞) along with some really bad opening hands for some reason( Masterduel hates me some times). I mean I even ran into a Runick stun player. Runick fountain is at one, why must I still suffer😩? But i’m still playing around with this deck and I really want to get good with it. For now i’ll keep tweaking this one but i’m also working on a bit of a Mermail version as well and we will see how that turns out during the new year 😁.

@@CasualKeem Damn, I looked at your plays and thought it was a great deck, though maybe what I have is more consistent. So if you want some tips for how I play Icejades, let me know

​@@lunarshadow5584 Of course I would love to compare notes. My deck isn't bad, far from it, I know it can make it higher in the ranks (especially if I stop seccond guessing my plays 😑). It's more just trying to figure out my play-style with it. So i've been experimenting way too much. So some times it's super consistent, but I run into maxx C and ash and Nibiru way too much. I try adding cards to stop them, but that kills consistency. Little things like that. try adding card. or do I want to synchro summon more, or do i prefer pushing for the lock and backrow support. Just a back and forth trying to find that sweet spot i like. I'm still not even sure if I prefer going first or second. Although the more I play the better the deck feels going second sometimes. But yea if you have some input I would love to hear them to know what has worked for you.

@@CasualKeem Cool. Well for Pure Icejades, I find the jadelock to be overestimated for a turn 1 board if you don't have a way to protect it (it being a turn 2 board is good though, especially if able to summon Kosmochlor with the field spell before getting Curse), and the way to protect it is primarily the underestimated continuous trap. It synergizes perfectly with Aegirine in protecting against back row removal as well as countering against all but destruction effects on any water monster (especially useful when you have tremora in gy to resummon Aegirine) I would also say that its more important you get your searches off over countering them so I suggest "Call By" become a staple over Ash Blossom as Maxx-C can only do so much if your end board is to normal aegirine, get the continuous trap and wait a turn OR get Manifestation to summon the Aegirocassis. And Sacred Swords of Seven Stars is also a possibly a better staple as it banishes a level 7 to draw 2, and if you have or draw into Enion Cradle, then there was no drawback. Speak of Aegirocassis, I would argue that getting him in hand alongside Ran is better than Tremora since it buffs so I have at least 2 Cassis as Ran can end up suddenly becoming a Enion Cradle last minute if needed or be used to make your likely Aegirine a bigger monster (Cassis's buff is stackable too, so that's a plus) And lastly, Acti is a more competent alternative to drawing Aegirine, especially if you have Ice barrier in hand or the continuous trap to use her as a negate. But a new way to play Icejade is actually the interesting idea of Using the Kaiju field spell so Gameciel can use his negate. A play that can only happen if you have Tremora to summon him. It's a plus that the field spell can search gameciel and your chances of getting Tremora in hand is 6/40 (7 if you count Burial Goods on Ice Barrier) but I would keep 1 Enion Cradle just in case you want to Kaiju their field and not let them have access to Kaiju's counters.

@@lunarshadow5584 Trust me I know the Jade lock is overestimate 😅. I think I even mentioned it a bit in the video. "Sacred Swords of Seven Stars" did not cross my mind at all. I've seen the Kashtira players running it, but it never clicked for me. The deck is practically full of level 7s, I will definitely give that a look. Although I might be out of SRs to dust. But i'll give it a look. Funnily enough the way I strutured my deck i've never attempted to use Ran's second effect to become Enion Cradle. Feels like your build really doesn't care for getting Maxx C, which I want to play around with. Admittedly i did feel I didn't give the small Icejades like Acti or Tilona a chance to figure out if their strengths. How have your match ups been against decks like: Vanquish soul, and Floo and even stun decks?

Hey thanks a lot. This deck has really been something interesting so far.

The Princess is always welcomed.

The Shark build seems like the more common build, which is why i’m trying out Atlanteans next. Trust me i’ve seen how good sharks are.

Truth be told i’m actually just out of gems🥲.
