I mean it’s never particularly relevant because of Martha’s lock, but since all the XYZ are generic for some reason, if you’re playing a Rank 4 strategy that can turbo enough bodies, you could set up some degeneracy.
A few months ago, I made a hybrid of Swordsoul and Vanquish Soul in MD, when I noticed the Tenyi monsters had the attributes the VS monsters need, and Jiaolong is a Wyrm so it can be used to activate the effects of the swordsoul monsters, and can be searched with emergence. Is not tier one but it felt pretty good to play something I built myself.
Agreed, I typically start with a net deck, with enough experience with said deck I distance myself from it and build a version myself. Much more fun with those decks than net decks.
VS helped me through so many of the weird Master Duel events. Similar story was using Razen's FIRE Warrior typing during the limit-1 tournament. Razen OR ROTA OR Durendal OR Two Igknights was consistency incranate. Everything else being a one of barely mattered, and sometimes the Dracoslayer Igknight let you summon an igknight from deck AS A TUNER, opening access to rank 4s and Synchros of various levels or (or just link material) to fill the empty slots that opened up in your Extra.
I'll raise you on the Junk Warrior one: Flashback to 2011 casual yugioh: -A friend of mine plays into Maxx C, but I have the Tragoedia -Drop the Trag, is 4800. -My turn, draw Tuning. -Use Tragoedia's level modify effect to make it Level 2 -Junk Synchron -> bring back Maxx C -Casually summon a 7K Junk Warrior
Ive done similar things, but I would make warrior tokens with Doppel while having The A. Forces active. With upwards of 3 level 2 or lowers, then Junk Warrior, The A. Forces gave out a 800 attack boost to each. Meaning with a common set up, JW would hit 8500 attack after having a Boost Warrior on the field and 2 Doppel Tokens.
Diviner has so much broken stuff she can do that nobody knows about. For example, she allows spright starter to combo into a voiceless voice end board: Spright starter gets blue, Blue gets jet, Jet gets spright double cross, Overlay for gigantic, and summon diviner, Diviner send trias, Link 2 for I:P and set the double cross On the opponents turn, use double cross to reborn diviner under i:p, Diviner send arc light and get the sauravis ritual, Trias tribute diviner, Diviner summon Lo, Lo sets the voiceless trap, Trap shuffle the ritual from hand to deck to get the non-ritual sauravis on field, When your opponent activates a card, sauravis returns to hand and summons Skull Guardian, You can also go I:P plus trias to make S:P
@@F3XT Heres a bunch of silly ones: There is a level two fairy called Cyber Egg Angel that diviner can summon, and it searches a field spell called ritual sanctuary. If you have 2 spells in your GY, Ritual Sanctuary lets you shuffle them back to reborn diviner and use her and Cyber Egg Angel to make Herald of the Arc Light, OR use her and Trias to make Psychic End Punisher. You can send trias and tribute diviner to summon any level 1 dark fairy, then use trias and the fairy to make a fully live Chaos Angel for the cost of a normal summon. (You can also just use Lo in voicelss if you only want the light effect) You can send trias and summon any level 2 fairy with diviner to then make spright sprind and turn it into the spright combo you can tribute her for cost with spright Red or Spright Carrot in order to replace her with another level 2 fairy afterwards.
The AI in WCS 2005 on the game boy always calls "monster" for Vampire Lord. So give it to them via creature swap, crash, and send Despair From the Dark to activate its effect
We are at the point in Yugioh where levels are going to ALWAYS be relevant due to synergies, we can never have a "good" rank 7 or Level 2 now without thinking about how Spright can abuse them and Rank 4s are literally just WAITING for a good archtype to abuse the tool box
Tearlament on MD does make easy Rank 4s, but the only Rank 4s we want to make are Dugares, Redoer and sometimes Abyss Dweller. Lunalight Tearlament makes Kagutsuchi and Dugares on the same turn using nothing but Tiger, Kaleido Chick and Yellow Marten.
I remember thinking in the og dinosaur structure that being able to use black ptera to activate big evo pill so that I could normal super conductor and then continuously normal summoning ptera every turn to burn for 1k was the coolest thing ever. And then I realized how dog water that is.
People told me Swordsoul and Mannadium wouldn't synergize when I was playtesting combining the two decks. Visas can use its effect on any of the Swordsoul names meaning even if we get ash'd or interrupted for a negation, we just keep going as if nothing happened. Its funny using Chixiao to not search for Longyuan but to banish a trap to get a token on board which is a valid target for Visas or can be used to access Crimson Dragon.
One time I topped locals with a version of Virtual World that was designed to turbo out Slifer with The Revived Sky God. The combo went through Beatrice and Nothung to use Angel of Blue Tears to set RSG from deck. Beating Spright with this god tier meme felt incredible. It made for an interesting deck profile too.
Throwing the clowns and the rabbit together with horrible A/D changing effects like Stumbling and Labyrinth of Nightmare into a deck that worked surprisingly well against AI in Tag Force 2 is something I still chuckle about when I think of it.
@@crazytuffandco. At the time, I didn't have much internet access and didn't really play in paper (why pay 40+€ for _a_ deck when you can pay 40€ for _all cards_ to brew with) so the banlists/AI decklists in game were the only source of an idea of 'meta' I had. I legit splashed Twin-Headed Behemoth and Night Assailant just because they were limited.
No joke, when I was a child I only watched the anime so I thought 4000LP was the standard, and my card pool was really bad but i figured out my first “combo” and all it took was dark world lightning, beiige vanguard of dark world pitch, red eyes black chick(it was still called that) and red eyes black dragon. I felt so smart being able to manage an OTK with this (at the time) completely unsearchable “OTK”. I miss being a kid
So I found out recently an awesome synergy that I feel like nobody will talk about in how vaylantz as an engine does numbers with snake eye. Then I found out Jesse kotton found it as well like 5 months ago but still I like to believe I thought of it
here's my version since i dont use twitter that often, gizmek naganaki on the gy and small world. you can technically search 2 gizmek (or any card with gizmek-like stat/typing) card with 1 small world since naganaki allow you to add banished facedown machine monster whose atk equal to its own def. pot of desire also kinda works as a draw 2 + add 1 card if you're lucky with the cost
Fun fact: Brotherhood of the Fire Fist- Horse Prince can summon: Beetrooper Scale Bomber, multiple Battlin Boxers, Ash Blossom, Fire King Avatar Garunix and Kirin, Flame Buffalo, Lonefire Blossom, Prank-Kids Lampsie, Rescue ACE Impulse, a lot of Salamangreat cards, Tenpai Farda and Paidra, Unchained Twins-Aruha, Volcanic Trooper, and more. Just remember the restriction can't make level 5 or highers, links don't apply. Edit:cannot special summon level 5 or higher.
opti-camouflage armour is the most insane tech in skull servants you can easily get king of the skull servants to 8k+, activate opti-camo and swing for game stupid, inconsistent and EXTREMELY FUNNY
in 2013-2014, I was playing 7 axis Fire Fist. You use Onslaught of the fire kings (the spell from the first FK structure deck) to pull out either FF boar (fire locked lv 4 tuner) or Raven (bad lv 3) to help you do either 4 or 3-axis plays, but, in situations where you have one in your hand already with onslaught, both combined become Black Rose Dragon. Also, Raven can be revived by Debris Dragon, which lets you go into BRD and leaves you with a Fire Formation after the board nuke. You now go tensen and use your second normal summon for bear and have a free board to get bear advantage.
@@modernkiwi6447 Nah nah nah here's the dream: Summon Magnifica in attack position Attach C1000 with Zexal Field Pass turn Opponent uses Lightning Storm / Dark Hole / Raigeki to destroy all monsters on the field Chain Magnifica Chain resolves by returning C1000 to the extra deck, then XYZ summoning C1000 LS/DH/R destroys C1000 New chain, C1000 triggers (it was destroyed under your control by an opponent's card effect whilst it had a material) to summon iC1000 iC1000 will gain its effects due to being properly summoned by a card effect For bonus fun, you can then trigger Zexal Field again when iC1000 is summoned to attach Mereologic Aggregator, giving it 2 attack negates rather than 1 (no idea why you'd ever use that lmao), and so that if iC1000 ever leaves the field, Mereologic Aggregator will be sent to the GY, allowing you to negate the effects of one card on the field for the turn.
Wait holy shit, you could tag out to c1000 in response to a board wipe, kinda like how people use traptrick to set waking the dragon in response to feather duster, and you'd get the actual effect of the card. This is kind of nice
Back when the World Legacy archetypes were still getting support, one of my buddies got really excited to build Crusadia, but couldn't figure out what to fill the deck with outside of the engine. Upon reading how the ATK transferring effect of the links actually worked, my brother gave him Dogoran the fire kaiju, and I gave him The Dark Door. It was really funny seeing the guys at locals not know what to do for the one tournament after we crafted this masterpiece.
My synergy is a fun link spam + fusion into clock dragon to mill some of the deck + link into clock lizard + re fusion summon into clock to mill the whole deck + use Starliege to add back levianeer + special summon levianeer to then ss catapult turtle + catapult turtle tribute clock dragon.
Runick and all the magic muskets! They let you activate the effects of the muskets and let you draw 3! Also you can play forever. Gotta be one of my favorites to stick together.
Subterror Guru + Z-Arc is one of my little casusl combos. If you set and then flip summon the Z-arc you summon off of the trap he doesn't get shuffled back into the extra deck and gets his effects. Thanks to Crackdown I learned these types of rulings.
Also if you flip the Z-Arc facedown as it's on summon effect is going off, it will work and blow-up you opponents field. Facedown monsters can't have their effects negated by things that target or by conditions. You can also summon Z-Arc to the Link zones under the Link 3 Coolia with the traps and Z-Arc won't be negated.
I noticed that swordsoul is a pretty small archetype that doesn't do to well in the current meta because it doesn't do enough. Mo ye also draws a card so i figured, why not mix it with runick. Runick draws cards, provides synchro material, adds extra interruptions, and pairs decently with the abyss swordsoul via the field spell. The deck is decent and got me into master rank in master duel a couple seasons ago despite the runick nerfs
i just posted the entire snake eye mikanko line for this flamberge is an 8 jet synchron is a level 1 fire tuner power tool braver is a synchro 9 that gets equips from deck
There was a point in high school where me and my friends mainly played on ygopro outside of school. Because they got cards on there in weird orders there was a period where I had a Normal Pendulum deck that had a gameplan of dumping a Deskbot 001 to the grave and then getting two Dragong into the hand or face-up ED to fulfill Deskbot's summon condition. While I don't think Trish was unbanned yet, I could make an endless conga line of Mist Wurms, and the existence of Cloudcastle meant tons of Rank 9 access, including Phantom Fortress Enterblathnir which is basically Trish at home. Qlipport Scout eventually enabled Synchro 10 and 11 access, so it could make Leo, the Keeper of the Sacred Tree and Star Eater. Probably my favorite Jank deck I ever lab'd myself even if it only really existed in a weird state on YGOPro.
The Water Dragon ruler does everything you need in a Crystron deck, send a monster from the hand and deck to the grave, and next turn you can use it for a big synchro. Also you can banish it with Citree, get a level 9 Machine synchro and add another Ruler
Hey guys didja know that Libromancer Firestarter is a lvl4 or lower cyberse monster to make salamangreat baelynx and libromancers can easily swarm the field with materials to link climb off promethean princess into a salamangreat burning phoenix to set up an omni negate counter trap and a big recurring body with a special summon pop on top of whatever else you set up?
Honestly happy to see my Plunder Patroll + Immortal Phoenix Tech made the Final Cut for the video :) I very rarely, if ever, like to share techs I think are spicy bc I figure others will find them silly/dumb. Though I know you are a fellow Plunder Patroll appreciator.
There should be a space to discuss this kind of silly shit. It's the part of the game that I like the most, but the game is so optimised nowadays that this kind of discussion isn't relevant to most people
A very stupid combo in Timelords of all things was Ritual Sanctuary and Obliterate! What you would do is summon time maiden, sac her for her effect search a timelord then normal that guy, usually the one that burt if you drew Next during the oppoent's turn you would flip obliterate, to dump CONTRACT WITH EXODIA as the cost to bounce a card, which now means after your timelord disappears in the standby phase, you can use rituao sanctuary to shuffle back Contract with Exodia, to revive your time maiden and search again
I played timelords with rituals too, when nekroz got a reprint! There's an extra synergy with nekroz because you can dump a ritual you search off clausolas as cost, then banish the ritual and clausolas to get an extra search! And while ritual sanctuary can't search the good ritual monsters, it CAN search sophia! Which in practica just means your opponent skips their battle phase, and you went through a lot of gas for a threatening roar, but it was still cool
So, as someone who loves Dark Priestess of Ohm, my favorite deck is "Lair of Darkness turbo bullshit". Play Lair of Darkness. Special Summon Mother Spider Splitter Norm Lilith. Tribute Mother Spider for her effect. Tribute Baby Spider for its effect. Xyz Summon Number 35: The funny Pumpkin Spider. Xyz Summon 35 into Number 84: The juicy Watermelon Spider. Use Baby Spider in the grave to detach 35, special summon it by paying half your life point. Durint the end phase, special summon 2 5000/5000 tokens with Lair of Darkness because you tributed 2 monsters. Lilith quick effect: tribute a token to set whichever Virus you need and have a free token to tribute to activate it, as well as 2 succulent looking spiders.
Bystial S-Force, Nightchaser and Pla-Tina summon from banished, which you can just get to from the Bystials, because apparently every single S-Force is either light or dark.
Vampires only have 1 worthwhile hand effect. Which is Fraulein. This means you lost very little by playing the Morganites. You can gain much more with Time Tearing during longer games and the double summon makes up for immediate losses you might incur from losing access to Fraulein since vampires need lots of normal summons.
I really like Time Tearing Morganite in Myutant for the same reason. If any of my little guys gets veiler'ed or ash'ed, I get another normal and extra cards for banishing for big guys effects.
I've done a lot of weird/bad synergy in my time but I think the two most interesting are one from duel links and one from like a high powered progression series thing I did with a bunch of friends. On release of salamangreat in duel links I used a fire fist engine to make horse prince while also setting up the fire fist counter trap and then horse prince summoned gazelle and I could then full salamangreat combo on top of that. In My progression series thing I decided to start playing gadget around when edison wouldve been and found that since black rose dragon and goyo guardian were probably the two most impactful cards in my collection I could play lonefire blossom to get to nettles because we were playing with erratas so goyo needed an earth tuner and also lonefire enabled me to play debris dragon to get to black rose easily and in addition to that I played a single copy each of mystic tomato and sangan so the lonefires could effectively also get me to a gadget or debris dragon if I needed it and that deck actually crushed for the about a month I played it before switching to playing that plant engine in a crazy synchro monarch deck I found afterwards
In the MBT white woods thread, I had been the one to realize that five rainbow magician was a light spellcaster. Yes I was the one that had come up with it to add to white woods. also satelitte warrior, metalmorph white woods, and stardust warrior but those not as flashy.
Oddly enough Cat's Ear Tribe is bugged in Ultimate Masters 2006. Apparently the developers didn't program the computer opponent's to factor in the effect of this card when making their battle calculations. So you can literally just slap this monster down and equip it with an Axe of Despair and watch the computer run into it repeatedly.
Back in my Dueling Network days when I was still learning to play the game, I felt unbeatable for pulling off the Secret Village + Sorcerer Of Dark Magic lock so your opponent can't activate spells or traps. Easily outable and a pain to pull off but man, did I enjoy doing it.
One of my favorite decks to play a couple formats ago was Ogdoadic Generaider, you can use the effect of Zohah the Ogdoadic Boundless to bridge into the generaiders if you found the field spell, and Jormangandur/Boss Fight can rip 2 cards from the opponent when you have both Harr and Aron the Ogdoadic King. The deck was so ass but man was it fun.
not my creation but i still find it really funny: summon icejade kosmochlor, trigger enion cradle to make it 0 atk, it is now a level 10 aqua monster with 0 atk, contact fuse into egyptian god slime. its just a guy. thats all it is. and sometimes its enough
T.G. Limiter Removal is a 1 card for a full board Generaider set up. Feildspell, Laevatein, and a free draw so you go hand neutral. I have already said too much, ok bye.
"Gizmek Uka, the festive fox of fucundity" works well in Red-Eyes. It's a level 7 and does burn damage per summon, fitting right into Flare Metal strategies, and you can special summon it with its own effect if you use the Black Stone of Legend and Red-Eyes Soul. If you opponents has a dark monster when it is summoned, you can summon a Black Stone or Black Meteor, or Black Metal Dragon from your deck. If your opponent has an earth you can just summon copies of itself, stacking on the burn. You can also summon any barrier statue , but this generally doesn't come-up. You just gotta go based on the match-up. It also works well with the new Metal Morph cards, allowing more ways to summon the Gizmek at will. Time machine can also summon it back and if your Red-Eyes Fullmetal is up, you get the board wipe if you want to justify playing that trap.
In plants Evil Thorn + the lvl 1 Aromage in hand and Jasmine in deck ends in an extra Normal Summon, a draw and a plant search with two bodies on the field.
Wait... Evil Thorn burn for 300,special Laurel,Link into Jasmine... It works!! We can now just go ham with the Lonefire lines(you go through Lonefire to go into main deck Jasmine)
A Pokémon one: The Greninja from Detective Pikachu that has a 50% chance of not taking damage, paired with Memory Energy so it can use Frogadier's attack that gave you another 50% chance of not taking damage, and the Greninja Break that let you drop 60 damage per turn with its ability... It was such a dumb and annoying deck in Expanded. Dropping a bunch of damage and never getting knocked out. (Plus, Life Dew so your opponent didn't take prizes even when you were knocked out!)
I played a Dragon Exodia deck back in the day with pre-errata Future Fusion. If you reveal Five-Headed Dragon and pitch 3 White Stone of Legend and two other Dragons, you then add 3 Blue-Eyes to your hand, thinning your deck by 8. It was neat in theory but you had to draw the one-of FF and none of the 6 Blue Eyes and White Stone for that to work properly. 😅
I’ve tried cooking with Tour Guide in modern Lightsworn builds. Summon her to summon Fiendish Rhino Warrior from deck, link them into Cherubini, Rhino sends Archfiend Heiress from deck to grave, which searches Weiss. Then, use Cherubini’s effect to send main deck Minerva from deck to grave for cost, then mill 1 extra card. Congrats, thanks to Tour Guide you now have. Weiss in hand to combo with any Wulf or Felis you drew, and you have a name in grave to special summon Dragonling from hand. In a pinch, you could instead sent Vision Resonator off Rhino to search Crimson Gaia and another Vision, so you can combo with any level 6+ Darks you summon later.
The inner mechanisms of dire’s brain fills me with so much joy and I really want to meet them one day. Also ask for me, one of my favorite things was to summon a Despia (often tragedy, or dramaturge,) to the field, set branded banishment in my backgrow and just wait for my opponent to summon a big gigantic light or dark asshole, and then immediately flip it, assuming there’s no negate obviously Free masquerade and or free masquerade plus dramaturge.
A few that I had: 1. When playing Wanghu Adventure Token stun, I needed a bridge card for Small World. I wracked my brain trying to come up with one, then it came to me: Photon Sabre Tiger. It's a beast for getting out Wanghu, it's a level 3 for getting out any handtrap or Water Enchantress, it's got 2000 ATK for getting out Gryphon Rider and Illegal Knight, and it's Light, for getting out Nibiru. 2. Another Wanghu-related option, but not one I came up with; when I was trying to find targets for Ties of the Brethren for a pure Wanghu stun deck, someone pointed out that I could use Gazelle the King of Mythical Claws and Performapal Secondonkey. The former will dig out a Chimera Fusion for me to set for next turn, and the latter will bin Five-Rainbow Magician, which - when combined with the former - would let me scale it and lock the opponent out of their on-field attacks and effects.
Kaiju and Ashened has some synergy with Ashened for Eternity. Throw in Volcanic Emission to summon Volcanic Doomfire and you get even more funny stuff going down. (This is god awful, but it's funny if it resolves)
When I was very young and first entered the real yugioh scene, I made a Frog otk deck using poison draw frog and substitoad. I would play wetlands and get substitoad + any frog, get poison draw out, and then cycle through special summoning and drawing off poison draw. It looked insane and I was a little kid. A few of the better players surrounded me and I was king of games that night after 5 matches with the real players. Right before closing, 2 of them come over to me and say the deck actually won’t work and then explained “missing timing” with poison draw frog. They loved the creativity and I earned respect at least
Recently I turned gold sarc into a rota for dragonmaids by banishing the dragon rulers. I also found a way to actually use blaze, supreme ruler of dragons more than once by combining it with sun god heliopolis: summon blaze, use his effect piping himself and one on your opponent’s side, use his gy effect to bring him back, summon sun god (I use the Horus cards for this, but any rank 8 deck can obviously do it) use its effect popping blaze and one on your opponent’s side, blaze goes back to the extra deck, xyz summon blaze again, use his effect popping one in your hand this time, and now you’ve gotten three non targeting pops with the total cost being a discard and two banishes
So there is this one friend that runs condemned witch on generaider. The theory? He normal summons her, gets fucking forbidden droplet then follows on the next turn tagging her out for loptr and having the entire generaider line turned on with droplet for the defensive play/interruption
Fun fact: you can activate "summoning curse" so every time a monster(s) is special, the CONTROLLER have to banish a card in hand SO, you can give kaiju-like monsters to yor opponent to rip his hand while removing threaths on the field in the process
I found the Card Scanner tech in runick on release of the card and ran it at locals immediately after it released in AGOV so I was super happy to see others had picked up on the strategy synergy it had when it started showing up more in topping lists during the FK Snake Eye vs Stun Wars this spring.
A silly one I put in my rescue Ace- Vanquish Soul - Mellfy- Bystial deck (AKA Racist Souls of the Fluffy Byeasts) is a one of penguin Soilder with a penguin Brave in the extra. Synch into brave on your opponents turn and then on a monster effect you can quick eff flip the penguin solder to bounce 2. Notably you could bounce bystials back or Vanquish Souls and then quick special them back or bounce hedgehog and then use finny for a later pop to dely an interaction
7:21 the real tech for Junk Warrior here is King Of The Skull Servants. Course it requires you controlling a King. But Wightprince is a Junk Synchron target. Which can bin more servants to boost further. And Junk Synchron can use any of the many level 1’s to make armory arm if you wanted
So, one of the ways to gain advantage in Metalfoes is by sending Combination/Fusion from the field to the grave, usually by Magicians' Souls effect. If you're really coping though, there are other cards such as Airspace - Area Zero, the Golden Lord, Anteatereatingant and Emergency Provisions. Also the deck can really easily pop face up cards to trigger destruction effects. One of the more interesting ones is Speedroid Hexasaucer, which can be searched by Terrortop. Last but not least, promethean princess is a huge boon to the deck. Rank climbing is easy since Mithrillium is a floater. Popping your own cards can trigger Orichalc, Counter and Azortless' scale effect. In Master Duel, princess can revive Electrumite, whose pop effect is a soft opt. Also, all your monsters are FIRE attribute.
During tearlament format i was playing swordsoul with 3 d shifter and 3 small world. The combo was that if i opened small world or shifter i would do the standard combo then go for ruddy roae dragon to banish the graves and activate shifter. I would also search an extra trap to pitch with the lv6 so i could synchro into final sigma and end on a tower and shifter with destruction protection
4:32 ngl i used this combo ALL the time in DevPro back in 2017. one of my greatest moments was against superheavysamurai. i had a Rank up Phantom knights launch and a soul shave force in the grip with 300 Lp remaining, Opponent had Ninja Sarutobi and Big Benkai and 900. My turn, draw last strix Activate Soul shave force to Bring out ultimate opponent uses sarutobi to blow the rank up card up and win i think its over only to see the grave light up, it was raidraptor readiness i use it to avoid the damage, get big bird out use last strix and Launch to make raging and blow up the field ulti end turn effect gives me the game
Because I'm not big brain enough to do proper Ogdoadic combos, I decided that my win condition for the deck needed to be a chungus snake. Use the Ogdoadics to mill the entire deck, then slap Evil Dragon Ananta onto the field because big numbers make my neurons do funny things.
Damn, i wish I could have responded to this thread, but the comment section will do well enough. To put it simply, Black Garden in Ancient Gear. It actually does a lot for the deck, primarily with going first, which gears normally struggle a lot with. Here's the combo with black garden and either wyvern, or frame: Normal summon, add advance, activate advance add catapult, tribute with advance, draw 1, activate black garden, activate catapult pop advance, summon tanker, tanker summon wyvern or frame from gy, pop black garden with tanker, then link off into ballista, add geartown, pop geartown, summon dark golem from deck, and add 2 of anything you need. Also, you can save your normal summon by just starting with advance, and, if you have it in hand, it's pretty easy to activate urgent schedule turn 1 as well. I usually go get a magical hound and a bullet train to make psychic end punisher, or I just get gizmek the immobile intellect and another dark golem, link them off for i:p, then use the gizmek in gy to summon back dark golem. For going second, black garden just gives you a bunch of small attack targets for chaos giant, which is really easy to get to in this deck.
Sad I missed this cuz I did this one on Dueltaining In Libromancer, you need to draw a Ritual Monster or a way to get to one in order to be able to do your plays, but you also don't want to play more of them than you have to. I love Relinquished, and figured out a gimmicky deck that turbos out Millennium Eyes Restrict by summoning Tour Guide, getting Sangan off her effect, linking them off into Verte, then using the Sangan to get Relinquished to hand cuz Relinquished Fusion doesn't fuse from Deck. Then I realized that all that costs is your Normal Summon, so you can theoretically do all of that in Libromancer (but waiting to actually use Verte's effect at the end of the turn), thereby turning Tour Guide into another starter for the deck that adds a unique piece of interaction to your end board.
I feel for that guy at the end because I figured out the Psy-Frame Omega + Dis Pater double handrip, but I figured it out as like, Junk Speeder payoff that let me efficiently go -1 in zones lol
My favourite masochist combo: terrifying toddler of torment, a normal rarity with the flip effect of sending a fiend from the deck to graveyard. Pitch soul scissors, it has the graveyard effect that when I monster is destroyed you can special summon it and destroy one monster on the field. So it means TTT is just a man eater bug where you get to keep the bug on the field.
Here is my @Ignister combo. Normal Summon Achichi or Pikari. Doesn’t matter as they both get you to the same place. Achichi will add Pikari to your hand. Link away the Achichi for Dark Infant. Dark Infant gets you their field spell. Activate the field spell and special summon Pikari. Pikari adds A.I Meet You to your hand. Activate A.I Meet You and reveal Dark Templar to add Doyon to your hand. If you started with Pikari you reveal Heatsoul instead to add Achichi. Link summon Cyberse Wickid using Pikari and Dark Infant. Special summon the Doyon and add back the monster you normal summoned to your hand. Banish the Dark Infant to add Bururu to your hand. Link summon Splash Mage using Wiccid and Doyon. Special summon the Bururu and send Danmari to your graveyard from your deck. Use Splash Mage to revive back one of your monsters from your graveyard. Use all three monsters to Link summon Dark Templar. Special summon the monster you added back to your hand. Link it away for a second Dark Infant in the left most zone Templar points to. Dark Infant will move one zone to the left and change its attribute. Dark Templar will special summon Achichi, Pikari, and Doyon from your graveyard. Link away the Pikari and the Dark Templar to link summon Firewall Dragon to the zone Infant points to. Use Firewalls effect to add back the Pikari to your hand. Link away the Doyon and the Infant to summon Cyberse Witch to the right EMZ. Firewall will special summon the Pikari from your hand to the zone Witch points to. Witch will then banish the A.I Meet You from your graveyard to add Cyberse Sage and Cynet Ritual to your hand. Activate Cynet Ritual and sacrifice the Pikari to ritual summon Sage. Use Sages effect to banish Wiccid and Dark Infant from your graveyard to fusion summon Cyberse Disavewurm. Use Sage and Achichi to synchro summon Cyberse Integrator. Integrator revives the Bururu from your graveyard and Sage adds Pikari back to your hand. Use Disavewurms effect to special summon the Pikari and copy its level. XYZ summon Mathmech Alembertian using them both. Detach two materials to add Circular to your hand. Special summon circular by sending Nabla to your graveyard. Tribute Alembertian to revive the Nabla. Tribute Nabla to special summon the Diameter from deck. Circular adds Superfactorial to your hand. Link away Firewall, Diameter, and Nabla to summon Singularity to your middle monster zone. Link away the Alembertian and Circular to summon I:P to extra link your opponent. Singularity will then revive the Firewall from your graveyard to a zone it points to. Preferably the one on its right. Disavewurm is an Omni from grave. Danmari is a HRDA Abyss from grave. Superfactorial is live with three empty zones. Singularity has four bounces. Firewall has two bounces. I:P into S:P or Darkfluid. Depends on the person. Darkfluid has four counters which is four negates and a total attack of 13000. Singularity can also revive monsters during either players turn if something is removed. It has to be dealt with first. In total there are 13 interruptions off of this one card combo I created. You also use every summoning mechanic except Pendulum. Edit I forgot to mention that Integrator also lets you draw a card. This combo does use up all of your extra deck except for one card. That card is Heatsoul. It is needed to make Pikari a combo starter.
Back before covid, I was obsessed with trying to make iblee work in Salad, but I don't have mining. The best thing I came up with was cynet backdoor banish balancer lord, add iblee then special via balancer's effect. Suffice to say, it was awful.
In the early days of Raccoons, Junk Warrior was used as a big beatstick. What you would do is get a giant token from Sandayu, summon Junk Synchron, bring back one of the Baby Raccoons, Synch off into Junk Warrior which would have at least 1000 extra attack. Junk Synchron put in a lot of work back then because it could also summon Frozen Fitzgerald aka Armades at home because Armades was 50 bucks at the time.
In Purrely I tinkered with a stupid strat where you use Fusion Armament revealing Exterio to summon Beast then banishing it with Plump to turn back on its effect.
Mahaama the Fairy Dragon is a LV5 dragon. Meaning it works with Gaia the Fierce Knights archetype. This gives you an "in archetype" handtrap that lets you not only survive by healing and summoning a body, but it can deal enough damage to finish people off or bring them within easier OTK range. It is also not Once per Turn.
Ok, Thunder Dragon deck, You get your big Thunder Dragon monsters on the field, Spright Elf in the extra monster zone and a copy of The Calculator in the GY. Spright Elf special Summons The Calculator to the field and gets a massive attack power. But wait, there's more! Then you play XYZ Align, targeting two monsters on your side of the field and declare level 12 on Calculator and a lower level monster. From it's own level now it's atk is 3600 alone. If you can get 3 Titans (level 10), and 1 Duo or Colossus (now at level 12) on the field: The Calculator is at 16,200. If you wiped their field and forced out their hand traps, they are burnt to a crisp. I've only done this in Solo mode, but it's so satisfying to watch
Back before the new RDA SD came out I used to use call of the haunted to SS my red dragon archfiends from grave for extra advantage and also tuner monsters...more specifically...ones that can synchro summon during the opponents turn...you can imagine what I did with that and it became even more degenerate when I discovered back to the front
My synergy is that Kashtira Riseheart is both a Level 4 and a Level 7, so in a deck like Vaalmonica that can pendulum summon Riseheart to avoid the Xyz lock, you can use Riseheart as material for a Rank 7 monster like Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon, link that away into Cross-Sheep, which then lets you cheat out Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon into a Sheep zone, which allows you to revive Riseheart and use him as either link material or a body for a Rank 4.
Aleister the invoker can use gate guardian pieces in hand as fusion material, and since the pieces go to the GY from hand, they can still be used for combined. Spare copies can also be used to buff the attack stat of the gate guardian fusions. Magical meltdown also adds an extra field spell for ancient fairy dragon (from the herald line) to pop to search labyrinth wall shadow or vice versa, and said field spell can be discarded by magicians’ souls for draws before being replaced if you don’t have the AFD line. The downsides that make this moreso fun than good is that aleister is still a worse normal than diviner of the herald, is less safe to normal into an ash than labyrinth heavy tank and e-HERO prisma, and you basically HAVE to cut important ED cards to make space for the invoked fusions you want to run instead.
I have seen Vaalmonica being used as a lvl4 pend scale engine for decks like exosister and even dinormophia to make those rank 4 xyz dino quicker and one that i also use is a huge pile of witchcrafter horus/cartésia quem which helps you easily summon things like quintete magician
Here is one, Crossout Designator can be used as a play starter in Ghoti by banishing a Paces/Shif on your turn so you can summon it in your opponents standby. It can also be used to vanish a monster so Nemeses Corridor can shuffle it back to summon itself, allowing you to go into Thunder Dragon Colossus.
My sauce as a child was Morphtronics with "Labyrinth of Nightmare" to access both Morphtronic effects each turn eventually winning by using two "Morphtronic Boarden" to attack directly each turn while my opponent cannot destroy my board by battle.
Kinetic/Cipher Soldier + DNA Surgery was such an OP and toxic combo back in the school days. You effectively had a 3350 attack Level 3 monster that could walk over anything and if they even tried, you could always activate Gravity Bind/Level Limit - Area B to stop any of their Level 4+ monsters, equipped Mage Power/United We Stand stuff (because obviously nobody played removal, just big stat vanillas).
I starded a masochist run recently and in my first pulls i got a plaguespreader zombie, a beelze, and a white steed of the floral knights (which can ss from hand if there is a lvl 2 or lower on the hand). That combo has won me more games than any other little synergy so far and i just pulled a second MBT steed of the floral knights
When I was a child, I had built trickstar Burn, but I was too poor for Droll. One of the techs I discovered was the continuous trap Greed, which inflicts 500 during the end phase for every card your opponent drew that turn. Which gave my shitty little trickstar burn deck a surprise way to threat game.
My favorite deck I've ever made myself was Snake-Eyes Labyrinth. While the deck space is incredibly tight, having a Big Welcome Lab on board, or even just available, provides so much flexibility it's not even funny. It lets you dodge Inperm and, believe it or not, 'returning to the hand' is another way for Poplar to be added to the hand, letting you special summon it for free without losing any presence on board. The extra Lab board presence is also just very overwhelming on top of normal SE plays- the additional pop comes in so often.
I've been trying to make a more consistent "Turn 1 option" for Ancient Warriors and have been trying to do so by mixing other easy to summon lvl 7's, which has been two archetypes, Kashtira's main engine (Fenrir, Unicorn, Birth, Field Spell, riseheart) and the lvl 7 Mekk-Knights. (I also added other easy to summon lvl 7's such as the thunder and the dinowrestler) The dream board is 2 burn dragons, double dragon lord, Don Ying and Lu Feng. And the most I've gotten to is 1 burn dragon, double dragon lord, don ying, and Lu Feng. And this has been a consistent deck going second too as I begin the turn by summoning Fenrir or xyz into burn dragon to make my opponent waste interruptions on it before OTKing them with Ancient Warriors like normal. If I don't draw into ancient warrior cards then I still with making kash combos or use the draw cards (Seven Sword, TT Talents/Thrust)
So my favorite syngery is that Dark Armed (the xyz) can be summoned by using any one lvl 5 or higher dark dragon monster... Including the second red eyes darkness metal dragon you search off of black metal dragon That is a xyz 7 with 1 material So if you then make Bardiche and send Raider's wing, setting PK rank up magic launch, you can detach the one material on dark armed with raider's wing and on your opponent's turn use rank up magic launch to summon kali yuga Also you can do this entirely with just a normal summon of black metal dragon, no extenders or anything needed
My favorite was mashing Terrorking Salmon, the Phantasm Spiral cards, and the Monarch cards together. Terrorking Salmon is a normal water monster so almost all the Phantasm Spiral cards work with it. And Terrorking Salmon has 5 stars and 2400 atk and 1000 def, which has identical stats to all of the 1-tribute monarch monsters, so all the Monarch support works for it because for some reason they check based on atk and def and whether or not a tribute happened. And Pacifis was constantly creating a token for me to tribute summon the Salmon, and Summoner's Art made it fairly consistent that I could find my Salmon when I needed to. It wasn't very good, but it was fun. It also lost value when Skill Drain became unlimited because The Monarchs Erupt was this deck's Skill Drain that could be played back when Skill Drain was on the Ban List.
The Junk Warrior segment is actually meta in Edison. Frogs can't really access the Extra since Xyz don't exist so depending on the build you can either use ROTA or Sphere of Chaos to search Junk Synchron which lets you go into 5's or 6's after summoning Treeborn. Since Swap is level 2 Junk Warrior gets to 3300 with 1 Swap or 5300 with 3.
a few days ago i realised Geo gremlina and Asila piscu synergise in funny ways, summon asila piscu, and fusion it off with a dark for a gremlina, asila piscu nukes the field and then gremlina's burn procs since it was a destruction via EB monster, other funny combos with red nova like using 1 red nova to pitch the other red nova to summon asila piscu and then during your opponent's turn you essentially have a quick effect raigeki that also special summons Red nova dragon
I didn't think about it but I was glad to see the Gullvieg and Hippo Carnival thing being brought up since I've done that several times in MD and it's probably the most efficient way to set up.
I splashed the adventure engine in an Owner’s Seal 8 axis deck. You can give your opponent an Illegal Knight to bounce back more cards then take it back alongside your Kaiju and Lava Golem. Game on board without having to go into the extra deck
My favorite dumb combo (which I never use) is to use 2 level 8s to go into Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon, then steal a monster, attack, rank up the cipher dragon into a cipher blade dragon, then overlay the stolen monster into another cipher dragon, rank that up into a pain gainer, and then turn the pain gainer into a Zeus
