THE MOST TOXIC PLAYER IN ALL OF MASTER DUEL 

big zaborg? he rips 8

@@alanhe4476yeah but he isn’t just a cydra that can permanently remove the cards of your choice

They fuckin printed 2

Honestly. People talk about how pushed Fenrir is and how Shangri-Ira can lock up all the relevant zones, but this is low-key possibly the most toxic thing about Kashtira. Especially while some decks' key ED monsters like Kitkallos and Electrumite are at 1.

Dogmaticka wants to know your location

Not letting you play is how they win, though

I mean that’s what the trap trick player did and look where it got them

My philosophy

Well, that opponent did perform zone lock turbo, just not on the intended half of the field

Agreed

Especially when Joseph was making it take an unnecessary long amount of time to do it

Sleepy Joe

We now have documented footage of a respectful kashtira player too. They're real!

I had a Kash player put me in the same situation. I made sure to scoop JUST before I would've lost by deck out

The Kashtyrant.

​@@SegventThe first name works better because I want to Kashtrate myself whenever I see fenrier resolve

It's the colonizers

ok

They're pretty lore accurate at least, you really feel like you're getting invaded by tyrannical aliens that want to strip mine your planet, except, you know it's really, really not a fun deck to play against.

​@@Jokoko2828sometimes they shouldn't make lore accurate cards

I think the zone lock mechanic could've been interesting if it was dialed back a bit and the Kash effects also played with zone placement like Mekk Knight or Magical Musket

Kash isn’t even a good arch type💀 mind hacker is just generically good in r 7 decks

@@jayman445 1st: The archetype's funny cuz it's broken , too broken. Konami thought "Let's make a deck that literally stops your opponent from doing literally anything, surely it'll be a good idea", that's why I think it's funny. 2nd: A deck's not automatically bad just because it's broken, may be toxic, but there's a difference. 3rd: It doesn't need Diablosis, it just happened to have a lot of synergy with the deck, it doesn't need it to the point that the deck's still top tier even without it. 4th: Good monster design. That's the whole 4th point.

I chose Flower Cardians to force a deck out, because I wanted to run a deck where my opponent shotguns Maxx "C" is my only win condition.

What, don't you just *have* to know who the last follower was? Don't you just need to know what game the yugituber is playing? What if it was the extremely rare Isaac or Ace Attorney stream? You could've mistook them for Master Duel!

with some rudimentary photoshop estimation and calculations, ~30% of the screen space is wasted (though some of that is the space for chat, the percentage goes to 22% if you count the exact spaces the bubbles are showing up)

The fact that Kashtira can play flare metal too...

only reason some people would even like the deck is because it gets them wins nothing else Tearlaments and Kashtira need to be goddamn unprinted

@@luigifan4585 as someone who didn't even build tear (without ishizu) until its pack was nearly over, and played against it a lot. I would 100% take tear over kash any day of the week, if kash banished face up it would be 100x more bearable because then I can atleast play cards that shuffle my banished cards back or get effects when banished

​@@dasherplayz4471you can use any generic shuffle back like necroface or w/e, just not cards that care about card properties.

​@@luigifan4585how? Both of them can be pretty enjoyable to play. I love decks that kinda control the board state and while yeah, tear is extremely overpowered, it still does appeal to my preferred style of gameplay. I will agree that it needs to be neutered because its way too far ahead of everything else but that doesnt make it not fun to play, does it? I am pretty sure that this is also not all that rare, like yeah some people just play it because they always play whats meta, but even they will have fun because chasing the meta is fun for them. That being said, i have no insight into kash. I do think that at least the last bit i said for tear also applies to kash, tho

So xyz materials are not cards on field (nor are they in your possession) which is why they don't count as cards for things like purgatrio or exciton... so when xyz material is moved to the gy it's actually being sent from a location that doesn't exist which is why xyz material skirts *most macro-like floodgates Pends: fun fact the pend eff to return to ed is actually just a normal replacment effect. So, under macro when a pend is popped and would be sent to gy you have 2 conflicting continuous effects and when there are conflicting continuous effects the most recently applied wins ie macro The confusion with simi-nomi monsters and "ignoring summoning conditions" in tcg is not a "Konami says so" issue its very much a 2002 upper deck chose to poorly format their cards and didn't deal with the nomi keyword properly so now the international edition of yugioh 20 years later can't properly seperate literal *glossary* *rules* *text* from a fking summoning condition... An issue exasperated when the average tcg player can't be bothered learning anything harder than , vs ; psct

@@mattr791 Does Yugioh have a comprehensive rules like Magic that encompasses how all cards should interact with one another? No? Then Konami said that Macro effects don't apply to Xyz materials. Also they could change the semi-nomi rule and the meta would not change, all the cards that would be impacted are terrible even if they could combo with (Extra) Foolish Burial.

@@Greg501- the ocg database exists its not as all encompassing as the big book in mtg but it is pretty close Macro effects do apply to xyz mats in exactly the same way they apply to any other cards in the game. Remember xyz mats when sent by game mechanic do not have supertypes nor are they being sent from field... Macro shifter and ariseheart banish all "cards" so they do banish xyz mats Difi only banishes "monsters" and xyz mats are not monsters so they won't be banished Shenshen is only cards from field and xyz mats dont exist on field so they won't be banished Believe it or not with exception of snoww slumber and encore yugioh cards do exactly what they say they do The rules around cheating nomi and simi-nomis out of public knowledge locations suck and 100% should be reworked but tbf you can't "simply errata 3000 cards" and konami did more or less solve the problem a decade ago by just never printing more cards like flattop

​@@Greg501-If you change the rules, you probably have to reprint the affiliated stuff. Which I imagine nobody wants to bother doing

@@1stCallipostle Not when Rush Duels exist and are better

When though I faced the same 3-4 decks the entire event it was nice to play without the worry of Maxx c and ash. I can actually play my cards

The zone lock is a lingering effect that persists as long as shang is faceup on field Books get shang off the field around its protection + if you go first book is incredibly good disruption vs kash That being said book is not good in md yet and I have no idea why people are playing it.. Kash pre-support is bad, and book is just worse imperm/drnm into the rest of the format

Lmaooooo imagine thinking Konami learned anything

Its konami. Their whole strategy with md has been release broken meta cards in the shop so sheep spend money for 4 months until they decide to do another banlist. Rinse and repeat🤷‍♂️

Yea u go get the cards up your sleeve 😂

@@xer0058 I mean... if I could. XD Seriously tho, I don't go for the full zone locks unless my opponent is playing something just as awful. Even tho going for that strategy means I'll lose most of the time and I should just focus on controlling the board while preparing for lethal damage...

The tomahawk pile is on lithium channel The other one was literally just kash+goodstuff you can rip from anywhere

🥺

Its a garnet for the tomahawk line

You lose to your own arise 😭

@@jayman445 to bad master duel doesnt have arise yet

@@keroscenegaming5427 point still stands...loses to macro effects lol coup

Both are toxic for different reasons

Because it is

to be fair, Kash right now isn't really toxic, just mediocre. Now the REALLY toxic Kash still has to... *ahem*... ARISE

@@rickstar5773 It is a lot like maxx C, it keeps combo decks "in-check" going second, but the problem is that it makes the turn 1 boards even stronger.

@@AlphaSquadZero ...What? My point was that as it stands right now in MD Kashtira just isn't a good enough strategy to enforce it's gameplan which is yes very toxic, but it just doesn't work well enough to feel oppressive as it wants to, the archetype's only saving grace being Fenrir which is just good by itself, but we're not calling Dinowrestler a meta contender just because Pankratops exists are we? Now later on when Arise-Heart comes out this whole discussion gets flipped on its head but that's a different story for a different day.

Getting out of gold is kinda like saying you graduated elementary school tho. Pretty much any deck can get into plat5. I did it with tellarknights back when plat1 was still the highest rank

People might think I played tomahawk kash, but I didn't I played my own spicy variant but one of my losses is because my battery died

Never good huh Didn't it have a usage rate over 10% for a significant period of time
