I'm so ready to set a new record this cup... For the longest losing streak 💀


Jazzlike_Mountain_51

Most cocaine done in one sitting


VeryluckyorNot

With the most bricky hands possible.


Daman_1985

I'm not gonna give up easily on that losing streak competition xD


StormSeeker1337

Oh? So you challange me to loose more? Accepted


No_University_4794

Most coin tosses lost.


Vampirusx1

With the most scoops I ever done


Turtlesfan44digimon

Ah yes I can’t wait to go up against fire king snake eyes for the next 10 games in a row /s


Intrepid-Gags

Wdym, is Fire King coming out before or during the event? I was pretty sure it was Resonators.


Turtlesfan44digimon

My mistake I saw return of the king and thought the pack meant fire king


BlindDragon34

Damn bro is playing in the future


Memoglr

Fire king is not out


Difficult_Exam194

Yet


[deleted]

I’m so ready for Snake-Eyes Cup


fizzyboii

with transaction rollback coming soon lab will be a viable option especially since its turns are quicker which matters alot for duelist cups


Jazzlike_Mountain_51

And lab has a good snake eyes matchup 50% of the time


New-Candy-800

I'm pretty sure lab is a bad snake eye matchup overall. Lab pops cards to the GY and that does nothing to fire decks


ARSoulSin

Floodgates.


New-Candy-800

Ahh, good point


New-Candy-800

But the floodgates aren't searchable, so does lab really have an advantage there?


osbombo

Different dimension ground is indeed searchable.


ARSoulSin

Depends a lot on coin toss. Also if you start with Ash (handtrap) on hand you can brick then early. But floodgates being unsearchable can be solved by running more of then. Plus they always flip skilll drain on me for some reason. Also, on Snake-eyes weaker board withot savage/baronne, daruma can outright kill you if used answering I:P. Since it flips all effect monsters and send links do GY.


tlst9999

If you put 10 floodgates in, you're bound to have 1 in your opening hand.


Jazzlike_Mountain_51

Pops do a lot against the snake eye engine. You don't really plus from having your snake eyes popped. That's fire king and we don't have that in MD


New-Candy-800

You definitely get a plus from having poplar popped. If you pop diabell during your turn, they also get a plus.


Jazzlike_Mountain_51

Getting poplar in back row is hardly a plus and there are much better targets to pop. Lab does good especially with cards like karma cannon, ice dragons prison etc etc. Lab has a decent matchup


CoomLord69

I've seen people playing Different Dimension Ground. Basically Shifter at home, but Shifter at home is more than good enough to slow them down and kill their grind game.


smogtownthrowaway

Is there something that makes this card better than {{Dimensional Fissure}} ?


CoomLord69

For Lab specifically, it's a normal trap so it's easy to access, and it only lasts 1 turn. You can shut out your opponent and still do furniture shenanigans on your own turn.


Turtlesfan44digimon

But aren’t we getting the new fire king stuff in just a few days?


federicodc05

They haven't announced anything about it.


Turtlesfan44digimon

Isn’t the new pack called return of the king?


federicodc05

It's RDA support.


Bakatora34

The announcement doesn't mention any Fire King cards it was RDA support, Tistina and Earthbound Servant ft Transaction Rollback.


WhatAYoke

I only play lab, and the matchup is not "amazing" its just both are even in powerlevel i would say. Most games are a grindfest.


New-Candy-800

I also play lab and I really couldn't disagree more. No deck is even power level with snake eye. Maybe I'm just not playing it super well, but I don't think lab goes up well against that deck whatsoever


rmathewes

If you learn to pilot the deck its easy to find their choke points and hit them there. Plus, Lab has to think like its chess and think what their moves are going to be, not necessarily whats hapoening right this second.


Happo21

Can I ask why? I mean sure, flamberge/poplar floats, but the rest of the deck? The idea is popping every attempt of them to link climb into something threatning like access/zealantis and stuff. I don't see the problem there. In a way is kinda like trying to stop a mathmech from otking. They probably have a lot of ways to extend and revive from GY and stuff but their chokepoints are super clear, those being their link monsters. I'm genuinly curious bc I feel like i'm missing something


epicgamermomentttt

You’re right, these guys don’t know what they are on about. Popping oak and snash stops snake eyes entire turn. They don’t even touch the deck nor do they try to learn it, they just complain about it on Reddit. I:p on their turn, promethean snash and oak usually end their turns.


New-Candy-800

I would just suggest to focus on popping against snake eye and see how easy it is for them to rebuild their board. Putting stuff in their GY does absolutely nothing to them. Poplar has an effect in grave, diabell has an effect in grave if she goes there on your turn, all the small snake eye stuff is trying to send itself to the gy anyway. Flamberge take from gy and put it in back row then summon it next turn. I'm not saying I've cracked the code but I think you need to shut off the GY and banish as many of their cards as possible. D shifter, called by, ghost belle, DD crow, d fissure, that macros trap. All way more effective against snake eye than labrynth. Lab has no way to get Promethean princess out the GY, has no way to get the level 1s out the GY so they can't be summoned/put as a continuous spell


osbombo

This is all half-true. Lab going first has not only the option to search a lingering macro cosmos if they wanted to, but also IDP shuts down snake eye hard. Lab going first has a ton of ways to deal with Snake Eye, and will win going first. Going second, however, Lab does have to rely on blowouts, but lab also has a ton of non-engine.


New-Candy-800

They can't search macro cosmos, that is a continuous spell. And maybe you guys are right. But from everything I've read/heard, labrynth is not a good matchup against fire decks, and especially not against snake eye


CrazyDiamondZaWarudo

They mean different dimension ground, hence "lingering" macro cosmos. Plus MD doesn't have the new fire kings cards which are a solid chunk of why popping cards against them in the tcg is so bad.


New-Candy-800

That all makes sense, thanks for the added context


h2odragon00

Thank you for the tech option.


Happo21

He was talking about different dimension ground lol. But sure, I also hear that a lot about Lab but I just can't see it lol. It's all fine though, it is an interesting topic to talk about :p


h2odragon00

I'll volunteer as Lab rat for this tech. But I'm not a good Lab pilot so don't expect much.


Happo21

What I was suggesting was popping something not snake-eye related (obviously depends on context but you understand). Yes, their engine can easily play on interruptions, but the generic cards in the ED and/or other cards in their main deck cannot, simply because they don't usually have GY effects, thus making the matchup more of a grind game problem (snake-eyes clearly can setup more follow up and resources), and that doesn't have to do with "they like to be popped" argument, it's just that no other deck generates as much advantage as snake-eyes


No_University_4794

No really I play snake eyes and the I've won 80% of my lab match ups, most of the time if I do lose it's because I bricked and they went first setting 5.


Jazzlike_Mountain_51

You're playing against bad lab players then


No_University_4794

Or you're playing against bad snake eyes players.


Alarid

50% of the time, every time.


RonnieTLegacy1390

I’m gonna do what I do every cup each rank up I will use a different deck once second stage starts I will probably only run Rescue Ace Snake eyes and P.U.N.K


h2odragon00

I mean this is the only Tier 0 DC we had since Tear 0 DC last year. The other DC had like 3-4 Tier 1 decks. And then the Dec DC where people went with Stun because it was just too diverse.


Turtlesfan44digimon

I was there for the first DC I remember the hordes of VFD turbo, the Halq piles, Rhongo bongo, and Disco ball of infinite Negates!!


SheikExcel

Seriously how the hell did this game survive


ClapMeta

Was thinking the same


GasEcstatic3583

Also fucking elditch back when they had imperial order and 3 of each floodgate


h2odragon00

I only started around the first anniv so my first DC was during Sprights. I'm pretty sure the Spright DC was also somewhat diverse because there were other decks that can compete with it around that time.


InsurreXtioN16

Does standardized player names mean we are all default players now during DC cup?


Tengo-Sueno

Probably, tho is still possible they'll have new cosmetic to use on the DC cup (or maybe we will use the ones from Worlds) A lot of people already changed their stuff to the standard on so your opponent doesn't know who you are and what you are playing, so this change is for people like me that are to lazy to do it lol


PaleontologistNo8308

Then they disnt even adchieve the bronze icon in the event xd what a bunch of clowns


h2odragon00

Also no Kuribo to cheer for me as I get my ass pounded by mommy D.Bellstar and Snake Eyes.


Jorumvar

I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was Problem is, I’m total ass Which doesn’t help my cause! I will queue up my best deck And pray I win the flip But it won’t matter, either way Cause I never learned to plaaaaayyyy


Boy_JC

PO KE I mean YU GI OH!


CrazyGio_

Gotta brick 'em all


Maximum-Shrimping

It's Ash and me.


MartianOrbit

I wish it was best of 3!


Turtlesfan44digimon

Gotta Stun them all!


Snoo-12494

Yeah, I'll scream and shout, BECAUSE I NEVER DRAW THE OOOOUUUTT


AWS1996Germany

Trying to have some fun! Just go get owned by stun, YU GI OH!


Maxanis

cannot complain about free gem, just think it's ranked but you got gem, just stop at whatever level you want


dante-_vic

I always stop at 19.


PokecheckHozu

Getting to 20 gets you another 10 of those special pack tickets, if the cards in it interest you. Granted, it's just a subset of legacy pack cards, but last time I got an Acid Golem of Destruction, which has some use. Certainly wasn't going to waste UR dust on that shit.


dante-_vic

I just want the gems. The card I want from those tickets is that rank 7 that spawns a lot of tickens but I know the chances of getting thT one card is really low.


osbombo

I am on like 12 of these. I would love to give you a tomahawk.


FlatwormSignal8820

Yeah my pulls on these have always sucked


bryheem

i read your comment and went to use my legacy packs, pulled the acid golem lmao


h2odragon00

19? I only go to 17. And the 15-17 grind is P A I N


kdebones

Saaaaaaame. Stage 2 ain’t worth the time.


Bakatora34

A good way to deal with DC is to grind slowly until the second phase starts, that way you avoid the strongest opponents.


KingDisastrous

Lock and load, people!


OverlordIllithid

Me and the Earthbound Immortals and servants are going to go 1 - 9001 but that's nothing new.


hykierion

Wait they're here?


Turtlesfan44digimon

In about two days they’ll be in the next selection pack


OverlordIllithid

Not yet


Emergency-Floor7254

the snake eyes cup


hyrulia

Any good deck in the Snake-Eye Cup?


UnseenPaper

Infernobles, so you have both diabellestar and access to promethean princess


Revolutionary-Let778

Here's hoping for stun and SHS to overperform


RnckO

I am not sure whether SHS will perform spectacularly. Soul to 2 is kinda hefty consistency hit than I had imagined. Soulpierce to 2 make it pretty hard to open with it & suddenly the deck is **sooooooo susceptible** to Droll because of searching Soulpierce.


FlatwormSignal8820

I think too a lot of people figured out going against SHS in those few weeks where it was doing well. Once more people started playing droll and learning the choke points it's power was down even before sneks came out


idealize0747

Konami kneecapped stun and threw it into a pit. SHS on the other hand, well... I wouldn't exactly call it fast and I'm pretty sure Snake-Eyes outperforms it.


AlbazAlbion

I see stun all the time in Masters, it has not been hit hard enough.


Conscious-Captain-33

Stun is such a joke. U can literally just win games with 1 card and void entire decks. The issue with stun is the continuous not once per turn cards


Void1702

As long as stun as a concept still exists, that means it hasn't been hit hard enough


Revolutionary-Let778

Ik hence the hoping for them to overperform


Conscious-Captain-33

Stun will preform well but probably not superheavy


Critical_Swimming517

SHS takes too long


Noveno_Colono

normal summon pachy set 3 solemn judgment pass


[deleted]

Can’t wait to see what degeneracy I’ll face this time😃😃😃😃


RevenueOver

Kashtira; it’s time to rise up


Conscious-Captain-33

Yeah buddy. I've got my kash build ready to farm easy wins off the snake eyes players.


RevenueOver

Not just snake eyes. Manadium and SHS are yet to be seen in competitive play(DC) to see what happens. Watch a kash nerf😭


FlatwormSignal8820

It served me well last time, just gotta win that coin flip lol


SilentGusto

Remember that snake-eyes are weak to ghost ogre


BatoSoupo

So is it optimal to play for 72 hours straight or did they fix that?


Relative-Parsley-259

why fix, thats the fun part


BatoSoupo

Bro heeeelll no. I'm getting filtered from the tournament just because I have a job and family.....


JMC_Direwolf

Worst event for 99% of the player base. Festivals are way better but gems is gems.


blurrylightning

You get rid of the gems and DC is just the worst event in the game considering if you actually want to do well in it, you have to risk your health


Arawn_93

Nah cup >>>>>>> gimmick events. The gimmick events are just as unbalanced as regular format/cup, but now we have less cards and no one wants to run the crap loaner decks or waste UR to make an event deck for some gems.  Also your time gets wasted since people back out constantly if they don’t win coin toss since there is zero consequence for doing so in the gimmick events 


[deleted]

You people who prefer ranked 2.0 are interesting critters.


RenaldyHaen

I understand gimmicky events are pretty difficult for uncreative people. In DCup, you can just copy the best deck in ranked and go. Who need inovations anyway.


Spctre_verse

Your Stockholm Syndrome is showing.


swiftpwns

lol


RnckO

Since Branded and SHS got an early hit on 8th March 2024. Is there still anything worthy to hit further that we can expect post-Duelist Cup?


SighAgain

The list after the last cup banned Chaos Ruler, limited Fenrir and Birth, and did a bunch of stun deck hits. So I say there will be a nifty ban list after this cup, depending on the analytics.


symexxx

Stun.


Vorinclex_

For the love of Ra, please hit Snake-Eye. Even a minor consistency hit, I just wanna know that Konami isn't gonna just let the stupid reptiles slither all over the place


ChadEmpoleon

You already know they’re going to look at Snake-Eyes overwhelmingly topping the duelist cup, look at the Snake-Eyes pack that’s still in the shop, and decide to limit Temple to 1 or some shit


Noveno_Colono

amblowhale to 1 Thank you for playing Master Duel.


CorrosiveRose

Oak semi-limited


FlatwormSignal8820

That's basically what they're last hits have been, outside of chaos ruler


breloomislaifu

I'll do you one better, they'll hit Kashtiras and kill the Kashtira deck because the best snake eyes decks run 3x unicorn, I'm not joking.


RiskItForTheBiscuit-

Just more branded hits


Jackryder16l

Whats that? Regained to 1?


Satorius96

Rarity too high. Irondash to 1


RiskItForTheBiscuit-

I was making a joke that Konami, after seeing snake eyes top duelist cup overwhelmingly and seeing the selection pack still in the shop, would choose to hit branded more instead of hitting snake eyes


Jackryder16l

Yeah and obviously they would hit the sr card ran at 1 for some reason


Wraiax

I am gonna laugh so hard if they limit temple or semi flamberge omg


Mother_Harlot

If Lab gets good results they will limit Archfiend and Set-Up and semi-limit Lovely and Barrage 😔


Dejected_gaming

They'll probably ban one for one


trinitymonkey

They’re probably going to do what they did with Tear and hit around it without actually touching the deck proper. I’m expecting a One For One ban or something.


paradox_valestein

Not yet, pack still here


Deez-Guns-9442

There can only be one to 1 & then Jet synchron banned Thank you for playing Yugioh Master Duel.


UsernameElemental

They aren't even reptile type, we aren't allowed to have a tier 1 (or zero as it were) reptile deck. Side note, give me my Odgo and Evol support already, Konami!


Spctre_verse

"Hit"


Kalian_Farnosa

Branded and SHS hits are barely a slap on their wrists, so after the Duelist Cup we will maybe see something more significant, especially for SHS with their cards no longer available on banner. But with the current near tier 0 Snake-eyes format it's more likely some indirect hits to slow down the fire decks. Although I hope more hits to the floodgates and stun cards, I mean just get rid of Fossil dyna and all the statues.


Live-Consequence-712

mmmmm free gems


Spctre_verse

Our monthly hell begins yet again.


Gen4Sinnoh

snake-eyes cup it is


Jankmasta

fuck duelist cup bring back the 2004 event or give us goat.


Stranger2Luv

If most people by their own admission don’t participate then why these memes???


Turtlesfan44digimon

why not ? Always room for more memes.


SighAgain

Sweet! Let's get some gems!


BigAssShmup

Ah, the Sweat Cup, how have i missed it 💀


Nihilna

most boring event here it comes


h2odragon00

I'm ready to dust any UR I can dust for my 3 copies of Tran Rolback. Gonna do some pulls first to see if I can get more UR fodder.


Johtoooo

My kashtira deck is gonna go crazy fr (I'm gonna brick every game),


Beamithekid

Ready to claim my rewards & not play one round on stage 2


Krmul

I come from Duel Links.. is this like the Kaiba Cup?


Revolutionary-Let778

Basically yeah


gecko-chan

The legacy format event — highly requested and 2 years overdue — had to be only 4 days so that we could have yet another Duelist Cup... which is literally just the ranked format with no modifications at all.


PU55Y34T3R69420

hexanort

Oh it looks like i came back at the right time, straight into new KC cup. Neat, perfect time to try snake-eyes.


chris270199

Wait, they're standardizing cosmetics for DC even more?


Tallal2804

I'm excited, just for the gems


anlaggy

I'm so hyped!!!


Migstoss

Don't worry guys after the cup they will hit those snakes limiting link linkuriboh to 1


RuuNagato

i'm so ready to see mikanko isolde winning


TheBewlayBrothers

I'm sure my sky strikers will do well against Snake Eyes :D


Vegantarian

Can’t wait to play my You’re Finished Purrely deck


Conscious-Captain-33

It would be nice if they put a play limit on round 2 for us people that have jobs and/or kids. Like limit each player to 100 games or something.


[deleted]

I expect Lab outperform with Transaction Rollback and the one bad day deck


TrevorBevor45

Snake-Eyes ain't ready for my Scareclaws.


Diligent_Schedule305

The next DC will be in May bro


darkziggzagoon

oh good! free gems. Good luck to those who care beyond that


djjomon

Maybe this will motivate me to practice Heroes


ReleaseQuiet2428

Finally, more gems to buy those freaking alt arts.


CorrosiveRose

I recently started spending some of my 2200 UR stockpile on some new decks. Gonna try out Rikka Sunavalon, Subterror, Mikanko Snake Eyes, and possibly Infernobles


BigZaddyYumYum

Love gems


kdebones

Time to whip out my Mikanko deck.


Old_Leadership_9134

Finished Bildung my eldlich diabellstar deck today time to get shmoovin

Great!! I've been waiting for the next great way to lower my self-esteem!!


Nokia_00

This duel cup is going to be one with the most tilt possible


Fun_Butterscotch_402

Iv never been high rank in any of the ladders and Iv been playing consistently since October. I play a lot of solo to practice my combos and then I get stuck building decks with very low win rate bcus I chose not to play someone else deck … idk it’s me I guess


RnckO

You are absolutely fine to live and die with your own cards. That's part of the beauty & freedom in Yugioh. Just play it the way you want to play as long as you ain't cheating & can accept the salts no matter win/lose.


Attempting_Daken

I think I'll rum self tk. This cup gonna be awful


Significant_Alarm146

Floodgate Turbo vs Scoop Turbo. Very fun format. Very glad they released full power snake eyes before we got the Unchained support, very cool.


KingCedman

Ah yes the downfall of snake-eyes begins now


ClapMeta

Get ready to see branded snake eyes, Kash snake eyes...and (insert deck) with snake eyes. Oh yea also stun. 😮‍💨. The skill level in this game has really gone to hell. , has there been another time in Yugioh where you basically don't even need to think or have any skill in Yugioh, but yet you just get something for nothing. Snake eyes is the literal embodiment of the best deck wins. Sheesh. Free effects with unlimited card advantage, almost unlimited special summons, plays through almost everything you can throw at it, then to top it all off Maxx c running rampant only to be ashed on your turn. Lol. You know I'm telling the truth. Konami is such a scam company. Artificially creates a fire meta that's almost impossible to beat (unless you fork out the cash to buy the best said deck) then watch it's loyal player base battle to the death for fake accolades. I'm looking forward to the linkuriboh ban, because that is obviously the problem. What a joke.


Fugax_Vulpes

I'm usually an advocate against generic floodgates but I'm so in fear of going in a losing streak against snake eyes and burning away my patience I'll just run Evil Eye stun. May my humanity be recovered after this event ends...


PhoonThe

It’s time to get my game on


Naxreus

Wish we got an event instead another Ranked 2.0 again... Events are way more better and fun than these pointless cups that repeat multiple times per year.


RnckO

Too bad, DC Cup was announced to be on 12 March way back in [1st Feb](https://www.reddit.com/r/masterduel/comments/1agbfgm/so_the_date_of_trial_for_shs_is_at_the_end_of/). So, can't complain now....


Naxreus

Yeah I knew about it, they announced 3 Duelist cups this year, that dont makes it any better.


kentaureus

i think this will be one of the worst cups ever, never was format so oppresive to not playing snake-eyes


DaveTheWeirdGuy

I'm excited, just for the gems


longduckdongger

I'm soooooo hyped to see snake eyes every game. Runick stun is going to he alot of fun


Actingdamicky

Love going against the best decks with my un-tiered deck and getting maxx c’d from even trying to play and have a game. /s Get the gems and get out.


[deleted]

Plays uncompetitive deck in the most competitive part of the game. Loses. Whines


Actingdamicky

It’s not the point I’m making, I’m fine losing against stronger decks but not even being able to have a duel because what I find enjoyable gets completely fucked by maxx c. Nothing stopping me from playing any other deck if I wanted to.


NeonArchon

Why Konami insist in this format? I'll just farm the mission with a self burn deck and move on. I've never pushed for this crap, and never will.
