THESE YU-GI-OH! DECKS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE UNBEATABLE! ...except... 

Wait, ZEUS is part of the ghostrick archetype? I thought he was THE ZOODIAC ARSENAL ZEUS - SKY THUNDER

wait it isnt Lyrilusc Divine Arsenal ZEUS -Sky Thunder? I thought Ghostricks main boss monster was Ghostrick Utopic Draco Future

Zeus wasn't made for Ghostricks though.... Zeus is good Ghostricks are trash.....

@@mattbaltimore7195 Bro the joke thread flew over your head

Bro?? I thought Zeus belongs to exosister? Its name was literally Exosister Divine Arsenal AA Zeus

Imo not only disk, trilithon is also crucial, since disk is heavily restricted on normal summon (konami you did our stratos dirty)

@@Dz73zxxx At time of release Disk probably would have been enough. Barely, but probably

@@Dz73zxxx Trilithon came out wayyyy more recently than Nebra Disk The support Chronomaly got was perfect but its still sadly an awful deck that loses to a handtrap. If Nebra came out early, maybe there woulda been more incentive to keep it relevant earlier

@@fudouakio4759 Play it in master duel with a bunch of going second cards and cards like Crossout Designator. Your only goal is to get Chateau Huyuk and Machu Mech out while going second, this results in an OTK if your opponent has a monster with at least 1800 attack. 1800 Burn, 4200 from Machu Mech and 2k from chateau. Assuming you can punch for game with Chateau. The deck can still pull out surprising OTK's and going second with a deck full of going second board breaker's and hand traps that stop other hand traps+crossout, it's fairly consistent on masterduel(Got to platinum with both this and constellar, diamond was too hard though).

was it a top tier in OCG?

@Rafael Rios yea I definitely remember it getting alot of tops

@@rhysjonsmusic well, in OCG Emptiness was legal and you can search it with Alembertain. So The Arrival are basically invincible

there were a few months the deck was up there but it could never have been top tier while its plan was kaiju turbo

@@OsirusHandlehe plan wasn’t Kaiju turbo, it took advantage of heat soul to draw insane amounts of handtraps in a format that is inherently slower due to maxx c

It actually wasn’t bad. I played it, and it could’ve been a lot better if the skill didn’t limit you to “light number xyz” monsters only

Well... it wasnt that bad but at least were playable for half a format

Imagine adding an xyz era archetype without the xyz

Damage step Chain Link 1 Huyuk Chain Link 2 Concentrating Current Best otk deck in the game

wasn't it like one of the best budget decks for a long time since the Chronomaly event

I mean... Even then it was kinda ok.

*relentless sobbing*

What's toss

@@ethanbryan3748 Thunder dragon, Orcust, Salam great, Sky Striker. It refers to a format that was like a year long

Thx I just don't know format nicknames by heart

That's just needlessly cruel lol

Victory dragon op!

P1: can i surrender? P2: NO P1: but... P2: I said NO, you are gonna watch my combo and you are gonna like it! P1:........ok.

It's critical to the no limits OCG meta. Dragonlink and Tearlaments are the top 2 decks.

@@dhanyl2725 It's because there is no official surrender in the OCG. It's not in the rules. So, if you want to surrender you have to ask your opponent to make an informal agreement, and they can just disagree to do so. This caused people playing against Victory Dragon to perform illegal actions to receive game losses instead of match loss via Victory Dragon.

That sounds epic, I was playing around that time, and you're right Chaos Sor. got hit shortly after chimera got released

sounds like we barely missed a nuclear meltdown, thank god Left Arm offering didn't exist back then (considering Offering's release in 2016, the style of the card art seems surprisingly close to cards released fifteen years prior)

That's not what happened. It was used in Regionals and locals a lot, but at the time, it came out players also had an answer in side board for it, Swords of Concealing Light. I even remember beating one with Zombies structure deck constructed by just subbing 3 copies in. That strat was pretty lackluster compared to most other.

thats pretty fair, luckily we get random tops once in a while because its still a tour de force(guardna top 16 is the most recent example), i still question the most random support that gets released for it though(pardon while i write this up) i mean i laugh because it has the wonkiest anti pendulum cards. a kind of bubble man like card(not the same but has a similar draw 2 if condition is met in pandora). stone king darius which for some reason is earth and it is surprisingly lackluster for a D/D/D extra deck card even if were talking d'ark which is pretty much only used for its level. the proud brothers being odd pendulum recycle cards and some others being similar. D/D recruits, reroll, and human resources being odd recycle cards that are all traps for some reason that just dont work cause D/D/D's don't really stall out enough to do them. pendragon for some reason needing a dragon to summon despite none of the cards being such. nighthowl being the worst tuner to exist in the deck and goes unused. apocalypse and requiem always being in this odd position of extender(at least ive always felt personally weird about those 2 monsters) Armageddon being this weird battle monster dark contracts that are also pendulum recycle and oddball effects depending on the extra deck monster you summoned. contract change being an in archetype battle trap forbidden dark contract with the swamp king which give you barely any benefit over the normal ones with worse costs. along with surprisingly half decent in deck cards D/D/D basically never play even if they are surprisingly good and searchable because their combo variant D/D/D's are better(D/D dog, supreme king kizer(i mean the literal first variant of D/D/D's i built was kind of kizer turbo OTK, i should know. why hes not a pendulum monster is my thing with kizer), i think the new D/D/D/D card will be one considering reji is already great and played in the deck now, and if i recall there is 1 or 2 more but i could be trippin) D/D/D's if you aren't looking at their mainline cards and even their slightly sidelined ones is such an oddball archetype of dark fiends.

Everything is beatable when Cimo plays it in History of

@@SaintoftheHonest secrets of eternity

I remember tring out an OCG deck that involved Dark Simorgh and Utopic ZEXAL when I got my copy of the latter from the Jump promo. It was ok, I remember losing to Ghostrick in dueling book with the lock active.

As an earth machine player I agree

This

Is master duel's meta more OTK-centric?, I don't play the game much

@@ethanbryan3748 Mathmech with circular, just circular and god forbid you have extenders. Can end on IP: Masquarena with 2 monsters ready to quick link into Appolloosa, a trap that summons 3 from gy and immediately xyz summons Laplacian with them which sends 1 monster, 1 backrow and 1 random card from hand. Also if one of its materials happens to be diameter, it's an omni negate. Then yeah T2 its as easy as Transcode>Accesscode>win.

Not totally but otk decks thrive more because its a best of 1, mathmech still puts up a good board going 1st but also can easily hop skip jump to lethal@@ethanbryan3748

Zombieswarn was literally the best deck of BLLR format. what are you talking about?

Also, Fortune Ladies were one of those archetypes that only existed in the anime because Egyptian voodoo shenanigans (Carly's actual deck was Fortune Fairies) and the Dark Signers primarily (outside of exactly Rex) used Dark Synchros if they touched the Extra Deck at all (which Carly did not).

That thing about a cult is just fanon nonsense, she was in that cult years after 5Ds ended not while she was making the show. People just parot lies without actually doing research at all.

That's even more impressive.

Thank god

@@TrueHavoc13 WE'RE SO BACK BABY

Well master duel got circular before either spright and tears and just became tier 1

@@mementomori2365 exactly

I branded get a new support

Maxx C is also legal in Master Duel, and dragonmaid is still mediocre af on there too.

Dragon Maid has the potential to go crazy at some point in the future but at current, it’s really cool, I really like the battle phase advantage stuff it does, but it can really only end turn 1 on a negate and 1-2 bounces, which just…. isn’t enough

@@thecharmingplatypus3208 we are missing some cards that gives us a more consistent turn 1 play. Dragonmaid has good grind game and staying power just not good at setting up the board to start off.

Dragonmaid doesn't OTK well at all and it's not very consistent either

RIP

Start the countdown. Konami just put out a banlist hitting both Union Carrier and Toadally Awesome

@@gaarafan89 Tear is on the way and they limited Shifter......... I might be taking a long break from Master duel.

You mean until bystials are released.

It's because Dragon Link's engine is superior to Dragonmaid's.

@@TheCardTrooper That right there is exactly what I'm talking about, this is why we at the TCG couldn't understand why Dragonmaid was seeing success over at the OCG. We completely misunderstood what the deck was trying to accomplish because of how dominant combo is here.

Full power pepe was also emergency banned like 2 weeks later. People were topping regionals left and right with Mermail after that.

As a die hard mermail player since day 1 I can honestly say that if Neptabyss had come out at the same time as the initial mermail run in the tcg, mermails would have been pretty unstoppable, but as the other person said, mermail became really solid after PePe was emergency banlisted, and lets not forget how good it became once the Toad came out.

Just add the card that stops the opponent form summoning.

Certified Nekroz trap moment

I think theduellogs has a video about that. "Top 10 cards that don't exist" or something.

@@GeneralNickles I think that you are confusing that video, which doesn't exist, with Davinator1212's "Top 5 Cards That Don't Exist in Yu-Gi-Oh!" video.

But they're all optional, and even if you chained havnis to a gy lock effect, the potential tear names on a new chain wouldn't do anything since the first effect has already resolved

This is a travesty, an absolute travesty of the highest order. Sky Striker has bloody Linkage, that came out with the Ishizu cards, and Exosister cant get support ported to Master Duel that was released 6 MONTHS PRIOR. Its a fucking joke.

As a Rikka player, I feel this. All I want is princess damn it!!!

@@darkshot7797 Linkage is a different case. In the OCG, Linkage debuted in "Secret Shiny Box", a promotional set that released around the same time as the Albaz Structure Deck, just before DIFO. The TCG just delayed releasing it for 8 months. If anything, Master Duel should've gotten Linkage a few months earlier, along with the Witchcrafter and Mayakashi support that also debuted in Secret Shiny Box.

@Pythonomorpha Oh, I wasn't aware. I guess the moral of the story is Konami has absolutely no timetable in localizing anything ever.

Dd crow should stay at 3 copies not 18. The only fix is to unprint all the bystials

@@juvenileygo I think the worst part is that the D.D. Crow eff of Bystials is the _least_ problematic part of their design. They're bodies on board, they're beefy 2500 ATK beaters, they have card advantage out the ass, they're level 6 for some fucking reason, they extend off of their owner's GY in the worst case scenario... it's just ridiculous. You even have Bystial Ball Breaker coming out that just gives them a fucking turn 0 extra deck monster removal on top of everything else, it's ridiculous. I get that chaos typing has always been strong, but printing an entire archetype that says "fuck you, stop using the second hand we forced your deck to revolve around" was a terrible way of handling things.

I feel that. I played subterror since they came out. First I built them with metalfoes and it was fun, then it evolved to fiendess behemoth turbo/synchro box, and then it finally evolved the deck to guru control.

that was in the thread, mbt skimmed it
