Yay, more annoying bird bullshit.

Yeah, I learned Veiler wasn't OPT a few times playing Crusadia, and also using Veiler twice on the same card because the first got hit with a Called By.

Single attribute, huh? I mean, that would make sense, considering Salads and the Water stuff coming out, but I'm pretty sure I don't have anything that would fit the theme. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I'll be good with the Link festival, since I have Twins and Crusadia.

Edit: lmao my electricity died mid duel.

Oh well, I was going to lose anyway

Oh god, I cannot count how many times I was winning a duel over the summer, only for my net to abruptly shit itself and die, causing me to lose by disconnect.

Saints Row: The Third - Full Package (Switch).

Well, I was going to play Yosenjus for the Festival, but considering I went 0-10 with them because I couldn't get one Yosenju to stick on the board without it being negated... yeah, just gonna throw SS Tenyi at it. Maybe see if I can make Zoodiacs for the XYZ half of things.

That is a very nice general banlist, even if the Halq ban is probably gonna hose my ZW and Magistus decks.

As for the event... dammit, I guess I'm gonna have to actually try this event and not just play Pacifis or True Dracos out of pure spite. Good thing I have my YosenKaiju deck, and I can adjust my SS Tenyi deck to have some XYZs if necessary.

Oh, and the birds got shot out of the sky, which... ya know. Pointing and laughing.

Also I feel like the title of this thread is a direct reference to me because of how I play

Nah, nothing like that. I was trying to continue my two topic long (as of... this one) trend of naming these after a monster from that level or rank. Like how #8 was Brick-Eyes, and #9 probably would have involved VFD or Shenshen. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling witty enough to come up with one for Eldlich - and forgot Trains/Earth Machines were a thing - so... I just went with the floodgates.

Got my Zombie Vampire, got my Fascinator... yeah, things look good.

Now to figure out what the fuck I'm doing.

Vampire support!

Fuckin' finally, I've been waiting since MD came out for this stuff.

Honestly, I'm gonna say that while you can go into DGR v3 with no issue, I'd probably at least give UDG and Danganronpa 3 (the anime) a chance afterwards. I just recently went through both with my partner, and neither are particularly bad - the former serves as a bridge between 1 and 2 and does a lot to rehab Toko as a character, at least IMO, while the latter is just a nice way to flesh out some things and wrap up the story, especially after 2.

Edit: Wow, my timing is fantastic... yeah, just listen to Popo here. Plus, the Despair Arc also shows a bit more about The Tragedy and everything that led up to it, if you wanted more specifics there.

You can definitely skip the anime version of 1, though, that was pretty miserable.

Okay, so unless I'm gravely mistaken (or got blocked by the previous topic maker), the last thread fell off. So, uh, here's this one instead. Kinda curious to see if the next set of packs are the stuff with the Albaz Strike/Vampire/BEWD support, or the Marincess/Water support.

Anyway, here's the Golden Lord. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/4/7/AAALVFAADpKn.jpg

Guys, you have to actually say Candlejack's name to get kidnapped, come on, it's not that fu

Yeah, it went from 120 SR/UR dust to 100 SR/UR (plus the stuff from the basic Duel Pass), for a total of 130.

But! They also moved the mate from 100 to 75, added more N dust to even it all out (at 100/100/100/100, I think?), and dropped the price by 100 gems. So... it's still a loss, but it's not aggravatingly so.

Yeah, Soda's definitely down near the bottom for characters in DGR2 for me. He's only not at the bottom because Teruteru firmly secured that position over the course of one chapter. Mikan and Hiyoko are both kinda down there as well, but the gap between them and Soda/Teruteru is pretty freaking vast.

Huh, maybe I'm misunderstanding the precise problem, but why not just use Moon Mirror Shield for those situations? Unless they're something that can't be destroyed by battle, that should allow you to get over high defense monsters, since it makes your Attack/Defense equal to their Attack or Defense +100, whichever is higher.

Huh... I don't know if any of this actually bothers me, outside of Prosperity and Crossout being down to 1. The former kinda sucks for my Pacifis deck, though I can just switch to Extravagance for that (it's a bit more annoying for my Yosenju deck), while the latter feels like it's gonna somehow make going second a little bit worse.

Also really not sure why Celestial was banned instead of Verte, but... whatever.

I ended up doing my ten wins in the second round with a Pacifis deck. It honestly did pretty okay overall, especially against all of the Floo decks I ran into (Gozen Match + Water Floo = Laughter), although I'm just realizing it wasn't fully optimized - probably could have run three Unexpected Dai in it since I don't have any Fossil Digs. Also ran into two whole people who realized that doing nothing while Pacifis is on the board means I get no tokens, and thus they can punch me freely in the face over and over again.

There is another mission /swt

Win another 10 duels.

Tennousu posted...

Yeah, wth with the gems rewards lmao.

I think it only totals @ 3300? That is assuming you can reach DLv 20 (in which 18-19-20 has the last 500 gems).

*Monkey Paw curls menacingly*

Tennousu posted...

How do you check it? Doesn't Desire banish face down?

It does for your opponent, but you can still go to the banished pile and see your own facedown banished cards; they're just not usable outside of a couple exceptions. Presumably because you need to know what isn't in your main/extra deck in case you play something like Emergence on an empty board, but have no Swordsoul monsters left in the deck.

legendarylemur posted...

The best way to use Pot of Desires is to use it. The 10 cards banished don't exist, much like a lot of times 20 cards in your deck don't exist. You just happen to be banishing 10 of them is all.

Now using 2 Desires... whew... that definitely takes guts and awareness, like what your deck can do with 20 random cards gone.

If you run too many 1 ofs, then it's risky, like most Auroradon combos don't like it cuz banishing all the little tuners will probably result in a loss or a much much shittier combo. Even then, people used to run Desires. If you draw into like a Brilliant Fusion and you banished Garnet, it's still fine cuz you still drew another card. Unless you drew 2 Brilliant Fusions and banished a Garnet, but the probability for that is far less likely than you'd think

Oh, I can definitely see why it gets used, especially in a deck like Swordsoul, even if I feel like the risk is sometimes not worth the reward. That's also why I'd avoid using it in something like Live Twins or True Draco; the chance of losing something important (like somehow banishing all the Twin extenders/one of a Twin), and getting a garnet in return, seems... not as worth it? I dunno.

I have to admit, I applaud the people who play Pot of Desires in general, but especially in a deck like True Dracos where you already have so few monsters. I have lost track of the number of times I've used it in Swordsoul Tenyi, then checked my banished pile and seen 2-3 Mo Ye or Longyuan just chilling in there. Using it in a deck where you might have 8 monsters total seems... I dunno, absurdly risky, even for the reward.

Oh, right, I finally hit DLv 20 two days ago (played SS Tenyi to 19 for the... fourth time, then switched to Eldlich), and... yeah, even if they somehow add more missions for the second round, I'm not touching the event again. This might have been the most miserable event I've done so far, and nothing in the second round is appealing to me. The one plus side to all of this is that they might come out with a banlist afterward, but I'm almost expecting them to hit the wrong things again.

Give me back Conq at 3, dammit! I wanna play DracoLich again, and I will gladly trade IO and Vanity's Emptiness for the chance!

Yeah, Sunny's Snitch and Secret Password are both at 3. There's also Live * Twin Home (SR), which is the quick play summon spell, but you usually just need one of those.

What are your ratios like? Getting scales screwed sucks but Mages have an ungodly amount of search options to get around it.

Wisdom Eye is an un-ashable search as long as you have any other magician scale. Pendulum call gets you any two. Duelist Alliance can grab Iris. Joker of course grabs almost anything. The Sorcerers can blow themselves up and replace themselves with their magician equivalent.

The deck is barely rogue though, if even that, so yeah >___>

Edit: Wandering Travelers is missing a few cards that are necessary for a Live Twins deck. Specifically, it doesn't have Secret Password (UR), Live * Twins Ki-sikil Frost (R), Live * Twins Lil-la Treat (R), and Live * Twins Sunny's Snitch (SR). There's also the main deck Evil * Twins Ki-sikil & Lil-la (UR), which usually gets run as a one-of for Trouble Sunny's GY effect.

Okay, I'm really starting to think that Pendulum Mages - and Pendulums in general - might not be the deck for me. I've had entirely too many hands get ruined by drawing all low/high scales, or getting a scale I need, but it's something that I really want to summon instead of use as a scale - and is limited because everything is limited in this fucking deck, oh my god. And the few times my hands actually are good, my opponent either surrenders the second that a scale hits the field, or I'm going second and it's a deck that loves setting up as many negates as possible. Or is playing a control deck and drew into Imperial Order/Anti-Spell Fragrance.

Meh, oh well. I can just go back to punching out suckers with my large golden robo-centaur.

Ah, a typical Virtual World board, complete with Very FuckYou Dragon.

*lose the coin flip twelve games in a row*
"Message received, Crusadia it is."

And that's how I became a degenerate.

Currently around DLv 11 or 12 at the moment, taking a break to avoid wanting to chew off my own face. Seriously, I can't believe after two months of not seeing it, I got Rhongo'd three games in a fucking row - one by VW (running HEROs), one by Six Sams (didn't draw a hand trap), and once by PKs.

At the moment, I've been alternating between Crusadia and my Giant Ballpark insect deck for the Duelist Cup, and... it's been going okay? I've seen more oddball decks than I thought I would (Red-Eyes, Harpies, a Drytron Relinquished deck), but there have been enough Usual Suspects that it's been slow climbing.

Hmm... on the one hand, I wanna try Beetroopers or D/D/D, but on the other hand... Vampires in a couple months.

Choices.

I recently made a Pendulum Mage deck myself (I had started it last month, but got distracted by Adventure stuff), and... it's not exactly a bad deck, but it can be really rough going second, especially right now with stuff like Adventure PK or Engines. You can't really afford to try and run the usual hand traps, because that reduces your chances of drawing into your pendulum monsters, but letting some boards set up without any interaction can be utter insanity. At the moment, I'm running three Ash, a Maxx "C", a Ghost Ogre, and a Veiler, plus two CbtG because having a search negated can also just end things right then and there - and even then, it's tempting to cull the Called By.

That said, it's hilarious how often people just don't want to deal with my bullshit; the vast majority of my wins with it have been from people just instantly surrendering when one of my scales hits the board. Just need to tinker some more with the list to make it more consistent, and maybe cut Dagda/Scythe as well.

So, uh... can someone tell me more about Beetroopers? Like, are they good for Giant Ballpark decks?

I played Vampires at the very beginning of MD, and while it wasn't bad, it did struggle a bit; however, I was also effectively brand new to Yu-Gi-Oh (I think I had last kept up with it in 2006 or so), so that might have been on me. That said, most of the Vampire deck lists I've seen for MD have been Zombie World decks with 1-2 of the Vampire monsters (usually Fraulein and either Sorcerer or Scarlet Scourge, plus Vampire Sucker in the ED) thrown in. I'm hoping that changes once Ghost, Fascinator, and Zombie Vampire get added, whether that's next week or in the Near Future.

Yeah, it came out with the next chapter of the World Legacy storyline, which - as someone with a Crusadia deck - I am very happy for. Just can't go all in on rockin' the look because it'll give the game away.

Did my ten pull on the new Forbidden Droplet bundle, and... I'd say it went decently.

Man, here I am playing Giant Ballpark in ranked, and some asshole playing Dragon Links, with lethal on board (a 3000 attack Nibs token, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, and Dragon Spirit of White), decides he's going to leave me alive at 100 LP. Kinda wish I had been able to make a comeback from his arrogance, but... no, I don't think the CbtG in hand would have turned things around.

Oh dang, this should be interesting.

Fighter, Black Mage, Thief, Red Mage.

I'm more or less done the Event (11500 medals), although I'm not gonna delete the deck shells I made for this until after the extra missions drop. Mostly been playing either Phantasm Spiral or Yosenjus, which have both been surprisingly effective against the Bird Floo.

Tried using YosenKaiju and Giant Ballpark, which didn't go well (Normal Summon reliant against fucking Floo, and just... some bad fucking luck on the latter). So I've resorted to the old classic I used way back in the XYZ Festival; Phantasm Spirals.

How the fuck it's considered transphobic?

Man, being totally honest, I don't fucking know. All I know is that there was a very... vocal group of people on Twitter last month, giving people shit for using 'futa' over 'intersex'. For all I know, they're absolutely full of shit (I know, people on Twitter being full of shit never happens).

Eh, I'm not bothered one way or another. I'm not going to actively search for 'em, but I also won't be upset if I come across some doujins with 'em, either.

That said, I was also informed last month that futanari is a transphobic term, so... not sure how I feel about this.

Ya know, at first, I thought all the Floo hate was overrated. Every time I ran into one, they seemed to just brick. And then apparently they all decided to get their shit together in the past 24 hours, because good lord.

Lets not body shame her guys. You are better than that. I dont necessarily think shes a beard. Some guys truly like big women.

I'm... like, 99% sure they're talking about the guy's actual beard, and not her being one.

Well, I was going to play True Dracos for the event, then saw the ban list and sighed. I was also going to play Harpies, but then remembered that Yosenjus will be just as obnoxious without an Extra Deck, as long as I make it a bit more control based.

Okay, so I absolutely get why Twins players were waiting (im)patiently for Trouble Sunny, because that card has done some fucking wonders for my deck. Currently 8-0 in Plat, although that may just be dumb luck from not hitting any Floos or either of the Adventure PK decks.
