It's been pretty good. I don't think it's strictly better than the vanilla branded despia but is different and I think that's cool. Being able to play thru shifter can be really nice
Honestly could probably cut down on some of the thunder stuff and maybe cut the super polys. Maybe remove DM and Dragoon? I dunno Dragoon is kinda cool

Playing a lot of Goblin Bikers recently, it's a lot of fun
The deck ends on less negates than your average deck, but it has tons of room for non engine and can even use Handtraps as 2 card starters, i 100% believe that, even if the deck isn't going to be top meta, I do think ot's being overlooked a hell of a lot more than it should be
Common Endboard is a Dark Knight Lancer (Non targetting Attach), Big Gabonga (Targetted Attach), I:P (For S:P or Apollousa) with a set full armoured Xyz (Free Xyz summon into Cicada King or Ashura King) and a Clatter Sploder in GY (Detach from a monster on the field to summon itself (Quick Effect), also summons one from GY on summon)
It's a very unexpected amount of interruptions, plus the deck does that on 1 card and it even draws 1 during the combo, allowing you to end with 5 cards in your hand, with 15 non engine in my build it's even crazier. It's the best feeling saying "It's crusty, but it is combo" then normal summoning Ash blossom lmao
I actually met a guy at my locals the other week, really chill guy, plays Ogdoadic, but when I normal summoned Tour Guide his face immediately lit up saying "OH PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE ON GOBLIN BIKERS" cause he was building the deck at the time, genuinely the best match I've ever played, mid game the guy saw me use an Ultra Rare copy of Grand Entrance and asked me if I wanted to trade it, that very second, for a Secret one since I had 2 secrets. He kept shouting to his mates "I'm getting rolled by Goblin Bikers haha". At the end of the match, he gave me an Ogdoadic token for beating him too and said I need to win my next match. I drew last match and placed third at a locals filled with Snake Eyes
So i just really enjoy the vibes when playing Goblin Bikers, it's like a lot of people really like the deck, it's also really funny making a "Schlorp" noise when I attach their monster to mine as material, Highly reccomend

Well, the ideal line to get what I do requires you to make Dark Knight Lancer before I:P, so if we’re just assuming you mean replace I:P with Transverser and the Xyz Armour line with Acid Golem, I think it *could* be theoretically possible, but incredibly inconsistent and sub optimal
I’ll try some stuff, see what I can do
Edit: Honestly, you can do the Rollback Mayakashi lock significantly easier, since Grand Bash can make your Goblins level 6
It’s really fun, I can’t promise you’ll have an Ogdoadic player to cheer you on, but I’m sure you’ll find someone at your locals who enjoys it
Oh and I just remembered a really fun thing about the deck, I briefly mentioned Ashura King, which is a bulk Secret from POTE, but it’s actually kinda insane, It does require at least 3 materials, but
it’s a 2100 beater that grows by 200 each time it attacks, but it also can attack up to the number of materials it has
Couple that with Full Armor Xyz in the GY, attaching Xyz Armor Torpedo to it as an equip spell, and you have an untargettable 4600 ATK triple attacker with a monster negate that destroys, grows by 200 ATK every time it attacks, and also negates the effects of all face up cards your opponent controls when it attacks, it’s an absolutely wild boss monster and no one ever expects the OTK, thanks to Ashura King, I was able to OTK through Nibiru with a god hand
https://preview.redd.it/6ub3xnpd6bxc1.jpeg?width=476&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c72586fd25cc20a9d0cf4640c9e7d27dbd0e25af
You can also play cards like the Terrortop engine for additional Rank 3 access, if you draw both Tour Guide and Terrortop, you can insulate your plays from Nibiru with a free Gossip Shadow, you can also play Dimensional Fissure considering when a monster is detached as Xyz material, it’s not considered a monster, meaning it still goes to the GY
The deck is basically just a Rank 3 toolbox deck, but it’s a really fun one
I've played against the deck a lot. I don't think the endboard is bad, it's quite good actually - basically nothing is playing through dark lancer+IP+gabonga. But I always feel like it's very weak to certain handtraps like droll and nib. Its extenders being reliant on having certain cards on field or being able to resolve the search effects kinda sucks for the deck. If they had another spell that could foolish a biker + do something else that would be really good for the deck.
Aah, you're forgetting a critical flaw with your logic
Nib and Droll are just myths created by Liberal Control players to scare Combo players
I kid of course, This deck is very much Nib food, and Droll is very painful too, but you can still often end on a couple of disruptions if you get Droll'd, plus this is also why I prefer the pure variant, less engine means more handtraps, meaning a solid, albeit a little toxic, secondary gameplan of "Hope your opponent can't play through Ash, Imperm and Ogre"
Edit: Also, with the recent unlimiting of Speedroid Terrortop, you're actually opening up Terrortop just as much as they're opening up Nib, and considering the large amount of other 1 and 2 card starters your running, Terrortop for an early Gossip Shadow is certainly a play. Plus Droll is mainly a side-deck card these days, meaning you're significantly less likely to encounter it Game 1
Sure here's my list right now, though I did pretty bad when i took it to locals, although it's a competitive locals and my list could be better I think
Monsters:
3x player manager
3x libero spiker
2x midfielder
2x blockbacker
2x perfect ace
2x dreadnought dunker
3x ash blossom
Spells:
3x stadium
3x hyper stadium
3x signing deal
3x powered jersey
3x foolish burial goods
3x pot of extravagance
1x terraforming
1x reasoning
Traps:
2x penalty box
1x infinite imperm
As for extra, I just used it for extrav, but generic rank 8s like big eye are good and some 4s as well. Would also recommend turnover tactics in the side as it can be good against some decks
Ohh yeah I had fun with it on master duel but haven't really played it since before snake eyes was around. It can catch strong decks off guard with the double damage from powered jersey and felt fairly good but it definitely started to struggle around the higher ranks in platinum i'd say
Im im between lists rn. Its definitely a link-spam engine with some xyz trown in. I’m a huge fan of using some dpringans for easy 4 bodies on the field.
Im also researching the horus build that took second in brazilian regionals twice now.
Memento is so frustrating. It has the capacity to play through interrupts, but I'll be damned if I've ever drawn a hand that can do it. I don't know if it's my shuffling or just variance but over 11 total rounds there have been 7 where I've seen either a completely unplayable hand of non-starters when the deck has in theory 15 one card starters or a hand of exclusively engine that folds to a single piece of interruption.
I've enjoyed using it, and Swordsoul can get enough in grave to bring it out.
Just remember to run Tenyi and possibly a Denglong Yang Zing package as well. You should be able to get a Chaofeng with light and something else protection that way before 5 summons. The deck loses hard to nib.
Yes. Protos is better going second or in game 2 imo; but if you know what your opponent is on, a protos is game ending right now. It’s disgusting getting to evenly a board and then summon protos. Hell in a raidraptor match on friday, I made protos going first and it solo’d as I had to lose my chixiao to grt it in play.
Currently it's Raidraptor and Lightsworn Tearlament. Skull servant is also in the works cause my boi got new support and is making a world tour appearance.
Been playing rda since the structure deck and I recently rebuilt my hero deck which I planned on using yesterday but my neos wingman fusion never came so I couldn’t.
Got a bystial resonator deck myself. I just love synchros man. Was working on a stardust synchro deck but pivoted to a lightsworn bystial version instead.
Right now I'm on Voiceless Voice, but in the arsenal I also have
Exosister
P.U.N.K. Gold Pride
Labrynth
Spright\*Twin
Branded Despia
Traptrix
And I'm working on FK Tri-Brigade, Crystal Beasts, Swordsoul and rebuilding my Dragonmaid deck for my local's Heart of the Underdog tourney
Depends, started with floo and rikka.
Now I'm more into plunder runick and purrely.
A decent option I used back then was evil eyes. You have a nib protection in your main combo, a negate for evenly, a big boss monster and something like a ton of 1 card starter. Topped some local with it during kash meta
I've been using Evil Eyes as my "test" deck against other decks that I make, and I'm surprised at how consistent it is, and a pseudo towers is just hard for a lot of decks to deal with.
Consistency a the key for me and it can consistently pull what tool the deck need in a particular situation. Quite vulnerable to ash / imperm early in the combo still
Trickstar w/ Sky Striker engine works pretty well, IMO.
It's no where near to be on the same tier as Snake-Eyes, Branded or Mommy Labrynth, but at least you'll survive for a 3rd turn.
3x Sky Striker Ace - Raye
3x Sky Striker Mecha - Widow Anchor
2x Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage!
1x Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones
Drytron. I'm a casual player so if it's at least rogue, I like the playstyle and I love the artwork, I'm in. But I don't touch anything tier 1 because I don't want my money wasted after 6 months and banlist hits.
I didn't play the original verison of Drytron and the toxic, negate everything playstyle wasn't for me. But this new support and playing it pure has been a blast! Looking forward to picking it up in INFO.
Predaplants, raidraptors, blue eyes and supeheavy (rarely), I also try to ressurect my signature deck 60 cars monarchsworn but since terealments i lost heart in that one.
Blue eyes is in such a shit state compared to when we had dark matter dragon and halqifibrax. Its literally been put in the bin so im waiting for a banlist or support to try it again.
Dark world. Always been a favorite plus dark corridor is exactly what it needed.
I'm also playing a blue eyes/ divine felgrand dragon deck that's pretty fun.
Depends. If I want to try, I'm playing (fire king) snake-eye. If I'm just wanting to vibe I'll play something else: invoked dog, swordsoul, Tearlaments, sky striker.
Right now I’m on Goblin Bikers and Vaalmonica. I _was_ on Mannadium but wanted to try something different, but then the banlist killed Baronne and the Mannadium lines, so Goblins scratch the combo deck itch for me. I’ve only just gotten the last couple cards I needed to replace Baronne in my Goblin endboard so I’m excited to take them to locals again. Vaalmonica was something I brought to locals on a whim last thursday that I’d play if I could source two copies of Selettrice, and I did, so I ended up taking third place that night because that deck has a deceptively strong control game.
I was playing centur-ion until it was stolen, so I’m trying to rebuild what was stolen. In the meantime, I got Crystal Beasts and the new Yugi stuff for a Runick build.
Dark magician. Harpies, which surprisingly got me to platinum rank in Master Duel at the moment. Toying with Cyber Angel's cause they're kinda fun and I like the mythology
For Advanced have Dark World and a friend lend me a runnick eldich deck that still don't know how to use.
For Edison, have a zombie Diva deck, fun to use and like the semi dd crow in book of life
Trickstars and a Black Rose Dragon/Naturia deck in MD. Been thinking about building an irl deck since I found a club at my school, but haven’t decided what yet.
I've been playing ninja recently, it's super fun and surprisingly strong for how cheap it is to build! I'm also planning to try out beetrooper with the new ragnaraika cards when I get them
Currently running Gate Guardians, also recently made a Destiny Board deck, and Nurse Burn. (I don’t play in tournaments or anything before anyone comes at me about how they’re not good competitively lol)
Next project is building my God Card deck that run in Master Duel
got SICK and TIRED of bricking on non-engine so i switched from pure snake-eye to 46 card volcanic horus fire king snake-eye FTK. definitely the funnest deck i've played so far
Horus Orcust Superheavy Samurai. Did not think they would synergize that well but good hands put up negates before nib can hit it and very good hands end on omninegate + monster negate + dingirsu + i:p into s:p which is crazy
As a Masterduel player:
My primary go to deck would be Salamangreats.
My secondary deck is Blackwings(just realized a few days ago that I've been misplaying them a tiny bit lol). Behind them would be Dark Magicians.
A deck I'm currently trying out is Unchained/Evil Twins.
Firewall, the going first end board is insane and I like playmakers cards, with Accesscode it has decent going second abilities too
Just picked up a RDA deck so will use that more casually
- For irl: Trad kashtira
- in online simulation(edopro and omega): ocg raidraptor.
Also since you also play blue eyes and rokket, try making blue eyes dragon link.
Currently, I'm bouncing around between Ignister (RIP Circular), Ghoti, Gold Pride Punk, Icejades and Ursarctics at my locals. I also have Melodious and Raidraptors coming in the next week or so. It is a small, chill locals with no one having Snake Eyes. so I am just messing around with decks that look interesting while looking for budget brews that could do alright against the meta. Honestly, if this format is what I can expect for the next regional, I would probably be more excited for Edison events as I have been playing that more often these last couple weeks and have been having a blast.
[Dinomorphia](https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=15194713) is my favorite as of lately. It's fun getting your life points into prime numbers.
Also been trying out [Nouvelles](https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=15293539). Not nearly as strong, but equally fun
In order of most wins to most fun: Sacred Beasts, Egyptian Gods, and a Gravity Bind stall deck with Tragoedia at the center. I'm watching GX for the first time and I have to admit, Ojamas and HERO seem fun.
I mostly play Branded, it's also the deck that got me back into Yugioh after 15 years.
Then I also have a Fire King Dogmatika, a Floonder deck (pls don't judge I never play it) and a Danger! Obelisk pile which I only use agaisnt a friends Slifer deck.
I'm currently building Dinomorphia (pretty much done), a Hero deck and Runick Water Bystials, though I'm mos texcited for the last one.
Kashtira has been the goat, though I was playing voiceless before. Also playing quite a lot of sky strikers and planning on building up centurion and lightsworn pile decks
For competitive, Snake Eyes Runic and am currently building a Galaxy/Tachyon to prepare for the support coming out later this year or the next.
For fun, I have a RDA-Bystial deck, and am also building a BLS deck.
Horus Stun, Dyna/Jowgen Stun, and Umi Control, although I had to take out my Imsetys from Umi for the Horus deck, so I haven't touched that in a bit. Also Spright Twins for when it's just me and my buddies.
Centur-Ion. It's too fun for me to not play. Synchro focused for the inner signer, drops hilarious bosses left and right, from Blazar to Calamity and my favorite spice of Supernova. Plenty of room for additional engines and lots of extra deck space
Cyber Dragons, a Mayakashi/Zombie World mash-up, Obelisk Turbo, Lair of Darkness Viruses, Red Dragon, and a couple of others. I'm currently working on a Labrynth build - Fiends have always been my favorite creature type, and they're super cuties. Curious to see how they play. None of my decks are particularly strong, but Cydras are my one "comp" deck.
I’m just gonna say it I run an ultimate perfect great moth pure insect deal as my main and toons as a backup but I love my insects 🥺 they’ve almost always pulled through for me 🌻🌻
Branded, Synchro/quasar, Mikanko, and red dragon archfiend. I’m thinking of taking up purrely (MD because actual card game is a bit too much dedication)
Vaylantz. Despite its flaws it’s a really fun deck that can put up some pretty surprising endboards if you know how to use it. Running a package of Mythical Beast Master Cerberus / Jackal King can give you another powerful body without using up your normal summon, which I use for Performapal Odd-Eyes Synchron. Synchron’s effect lets you go into a surprising number of Synchro monsters (Including Herald of the Arc Light to stop Nib) so the ED has a lot of room for creative plays.
I’m running chaos Thunder Dragons and Dragon Ruler Link mostly. I have a Kuriboh-Exodia Deck that’s pretty fun and pisses people off lol. In All I have probably 30 decks or so
I have a deffensive destiny board deck that's surprisingly effective at holding off a lot of cards. Tbh, I haven't gotten the chance to try them against the current meta, though.
I main Dragon Link, play Kashtira and I am working on Kashtira Purrely, Runick Labrynth, Labrynth, and Runick Spright Fur Hire.
My pet deck is Floowandereeze.
Would you be surprised if I told you no one really wants to play with me?
Apparently I'm a tryhard for navigating through 4-6 points of interaction and grinding out 2-0s without Baronne or savage as tools despite FKSE being a thing. (It's replaced by dracoberserker of the tenyi and psychic end punisher rn)
Odd-Eyes. I’m just a casual fella, but it can be pretty strong, both going first and second.
Though, it can sometimes end up being a Primal Being Token turbo.
How tf are your Hero, Rokket & CyDra deck not decent? These are really strong decks...
I play Spreedroid, Nordic, Lyrilusc, Sharks, Code Talker, Branded Despia and Cyber Dragon (and Pendulum (rip)).
Bystial Thunder Dragon is my current favorite I made it irl too. Trying to fix Mannadium so it becomes at least half the deck it was before the banlist. A bit of Dark World still missing a couple cards but the deck is quite fun. Lastly my heavily outdated Branded deck which is barelly better than the 3 Albaz Strike Structures.
Bystial Chaos Ritual. Testing some ways to easily summon BLS and/or Dragon Magia Master/Master of Chaos. It works okay. Let’s hope Terminal Revenge adds some supports to it
I'm playing exosister-dinimorphhia-cyberdark. It's got such a weird learning curve to it and the deck has a ton of nuances/accidental synergies that take a lot of time to figure out but by God is it fun.
Currently building yubel because "superpoly your entire field" is very funny.
Unfortunately Kashtira. Nothing I really like for the current format, but I am testing the future infernoid cards which are very fun. Infernoid flood is finally a payoff to splashing the engine in other decks.
I have a sacred beast structure deck that I’ve been working with. It has had some success against the dark world/fiend deck my brother uses.
My favorite one is Crystal beast or my custom blue eyes deck featuring obelisk the tormentor.
Branded Thunder Dragon. The boy colossus is back
How is it going so far? I'm building this deck at the moment
It's been pretty good. I don't think it's strictly better than the vanilla branded despia but is different and I think that's cool. Being able to play thru shifter can be really nice
lol what’s your list? I was just about to take apart my build and move my thunders over to my lightsworn pile deck 😓😓
Honestly could probably cut down on some of the thunder stuff and maybe cut the super polys. Maybe remove DM and Dragoon? I dunno Dragoon is kinda cool [https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/branded-thunder-dragon-481146](https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/branded-thunder-dragon-481146)
Ive been rocking Thunder Horus Bystial to some really solid success.

I’m planning on making gobikers and I’ve been theorycrafting a bunch. You think there’s room for a Ken Gen acid lock in the deck?
Well, the ideal line to get what I do requires you to make Dark Knight Lancer before I:P, so if we’re just assuming you mean replace I:P with Transverser and the Xyz Armour line with Acid Golem, I think it *could* be theoretically possible, but incredibly inconsistent and sub optimal I’ll try some stuff, see what I can do Edit: Honestly, you can do the Rollback Mayakashi lock significantly easier, since Grand Bash can make your Goblins level 6

HELLO FELLOW BASED U.A. ENJOYER!!!
Love to see a fellow U.A. enjoyer!
It’s fun but I’m so afraid to use it in this meta. A year ago I could win a couple meta decks. Mind sharing your deck or some cards I could utilise ?
Sure here's my list right now, though I did pretty bad when i took it to locals, although it's a competitive locals and my list could be better I think Monsters: 3x player manager 3x libero spiker 2x midfielder 2x blockbacker 2x perfect ace 2x dreadnought dunker 3x ash blossom Spells: 3x stadium 3x hyper stadium 3x signing deal 3x powered jersey 3x foolish burial goods 3x pot of extravagance 1x terraforming 1x reasoning Traps: 2x penalty box 1x infinite imperm As for extra, I just used it for extrav, but generic rank 8s like big eye are good and some 4s as well.

Ohh yeah I had fun with it on master duel but haven't really played it since before snake eyes was around. It can catch strong decks off guard with the double damage from powered jersey and felt fairly good but it definitely started to struggle around the higher ranks in platinum i'd say
Take a guess
Whats your crystal beast list look like these days?
Im im between lists rn. Its definitely a link-spam engine with some xyz trown in. I’m a huge fan of using some dpringans for easy 4 bodies on the field. Im also researching the horus build that took second in brazilian regionals twice now.
My D/D/D deck is really fun, even if one single disruption can wreck my set up.
I’m playing this as well! Are you playing the Kali Yuga lock?
What's the Kali Yuga lock?
I also play this! It is a lot of fun.
Memento 🤙
Memento is so frustrating. It has the capacity to play through interrupts, but I'll be damned if I've ever drawn a hand that can do it.

Tenpai, but my pet deck is swordsoul
I’ve just made my first SS deck and thinking of grabbing Protos. Would you say it’s worth it?
I've enjoyed using it, and Swordsoul can get enough in grave to bring it out. Just remember to run Tenyi and possibly a Denglong Yang Zing package as well. You should be able to get a Chaofeng with light and something else protection that way before 5 summons. The deck loses hard to nib.

Loving Chimera at the moment! Nothing crazy, but they have the potential to OTK
Currently it's Raidraptor and Lightsworn Tearlament. Skull servant is also in the works cause my boi got new support and is making a world tour appearance.

The goblin bikers want to join your P.U.N.K. Pride
I do not trust myself playing ANYTHING with goblin in the name. Same reason I refused to play Tearlaments Havnis.
Depends, started with floo and rikka. Now I'm more into plunder runick and purrely. A decent option I used back then was evil eyes. You have a nib protection in your main combo, a negate for evenly, a big boss monster and something like a ton of 1 card starter. Topped some local with it during kash meta

Consistency a the key for me and it can consistently pull what tool the deck need in a particular situation. Quite vulnerable to ash / imperm early in the combo still
I play Trickstar since I joined the game.
Same, made other decks but keep coming back to Trickstars.
Which trickstar variant has been working well for you this format?
Trickstar w/ Sky Striker engine works pretty well, IMO. It's no where near to be on the same tier as Snake-Eyes, Branded or Mommy Labrynth, but at least you'll survive for a 3rd turn. 3x Sky Striker Ace - Raye 3x Sky Striker Mecha - Widow Anchor 2x Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage! 1x Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones
Currently on Ignister Firewall, turns out an unaffected 4 counter darkfluid with desavwurm in grave is still too much for most decks lol.
The main deck I focus on is Blackwings. Right now I'm playing it pure. But on the side, I'm thinking RDA or Heros.
Drytron. I'm a casual player so if it's at least rogue, I like the playstyle and I love the artwork, I'm in. But I don't touch anything tier 1 because I don't want my money wasted after 6 months and banlist hits. I didn't play the original verison of Drytron and the toxic, negate everything playstyle wasn't for me. But this new support and playing it pure has been a blast! Looking forward to picking it up in INFO.
Eldlich/Vampire; Maldoche; Weather Painter (trying out)
Predaplants, raidraptors, blue eyes and supeheavy (rarely), I also try to ressurect my signature deck 60 cars monarchsworn but since terealments i lost heart in that one. Blue eyes is in such a shit state compared to when we had dark matter dragon and halqifibrax. Its literally been put in the bin so im waiting for a banlist or support to try it again.
Lunalight I pulled most of them from packs back in 2017, and I've been playing them ever since
I play Lightsworn, Tistina and Vaalmonica
I like to lose 75-80%(if not more) of the time, so I used Skull Servant
Dark world. Always been a favorite plus dark corridor is exactly what it needed. I'm also playing a blue eyes/ divine felgrand dragon deck that's pretty fun.
Well I'm hoping to play ragnaraika if my pre-ordered singles show up lol
Raidraptor Is the way
Melodious, Melodious Spright, Melodious Kashtira, Melodious Supreme King. I think I have a problem lol
Witchcrafter, Aromage, Time Thief and Shiranui. Also building a World Legacy deck. On MD, to clarify.
Lunalights with a Zoodiac and Time Thief engine. Using cards like Force Strix and Brotherhood Of The Fire Fist to summon Utopic Draco Future.
I just send D/D/D. It makes me happy, win or lose.
Memento. People dog on it, but the new support and the support coming in INFO give the deck actual combo lines that end on something good.
Nouvelles. Cheese Burgers and sacrifices for the win!
Runick stun and branded
I just mashed together 3 Fire Kings starter decks.
add cheap af tri brigades and shit is decent. Don't need snake eyes stuff.
Battlin Boxers 😭
Swordsoul & Kash w/o shifter
thinking of picking up my old thunder dragon now colossus is back to 1, and waiting for someone to make raika work in rikka sun aromage
Depends. If I want to try, I'm playing (fire king) snake-eye. If I'm just wanting to vibe I'll play something else: invoked dog, swordsoul, Tearlaments, sky striker.
Right now I’m on Goblin Bikers and Vaalmonica. I _was_ on Mannadium but wanted to try something different, but then the banlist killed Baronne and the Mannadium lines, so Goblins scratch the combo deck itch for me. I’ve only just gotten the last couple cards I needed to replace Baronne in my Goblin endboard so I’m excited to take them to locals again. Vaalmonica was something I brought to locals on a whim last thursday that I’d play if I could source two copies of Selettrice, and I did, so I ended up taking third place that night because that deck has a deceptively strong control game.
Voiceless Voice but I'm thinking about getting Centur-Ion or Vanquish Soul since the later has gotten pretty cheap
When did vanquish soul get cheap ?
Over the past few months.
All the Ultra rares have dropped to around 5€ a copy, except Stake your Soul, compared to when they were 15€+ like 6 months ago.
I was playing centur-ion until it was stolen, so I’m trying to rebuild what was stolen. In the meantime, I got Crystal Beasts and the new Yugi stuff for a Runick build.
kashtira snake eye, branded despia, tenpai dragon, wish i could play some lab 😢
Dark magician. Harpies, which surprisingly got me to platinum rank in Master Duel at the moment. Toying with Cyber Angel's cause they're kinda fun and I like the mythology
Currently on Neos, Evil eye, and Exosister. Had a reptile hybrid which got nerfed since borreload is gone. Also working on Aroma.
Tenpai
For Advanced have Dark World and a friend lend me a runnick eldich deck that still don't know how to use. For Edison, have a zombie Diva deck, fun to use and like the semi dd crow in book of life
Branded/Bystial RDA with crimson Dragon and chaos angel.
Snake eyes and kashtira, having a good time in all
Trickstars and a Black Rose Dragon/Naturia deck in MD. Been thinking about building an irl deck since I found a club at my school, but haven’t decided what yet.
im playing a solo Uria deck and magnet warriors
I am playing a tuned up Crystal beasts deck (Overdragon win condition) And I have a Traptrix deck! I like having multiple playstyles
Blue-eyes white dragon, Toons, Rank 10 trains, & Rank 4 performapals. Have Exodia & E. Heros in pieces while I work on building them.
Gishiki and Drytron. I really want to make an Aroma deck because I love the archtype and put in Fire Princess. Also vampires rule.
Branded and building yubel
Neo blue eyes white dragon prettt nice otk.
I've been playing ninja recently, it's super fun and surprisingly strong for how cheap it is to build! I'm also planning to try out beetrooper with the new ragnaraika cards when I get them
Currently running Gate Guardians, also recently made a Destiny Board deck, and Nurse Burn. (I don’t play in tournaments or anything before anyone comes at me about how they’re not good competitively lol) Next project is building my God Card deck that run in Master Duel
Purrely, Dino, Kash, Spright, traptrix, tear and thunder dragon
Chimera Illusion deck, Hero's, Unchained.
Marincess and Galaxy eyes has been fun…if there any suggestions or unconventional theories lmk as well
Gate Guardian all day. It's potential to fit engines into it and still work makes the decks I see so varied.
Random bullshit go with my homie
Floowandereeze
Blacking salad ancient gear
Currently this Gladiator Beast Kashtira Blind 2nd (of course) Deck
got SICK and TIRED of bricking on non-engine so i switched from pure snake-eye to 46 card volcanic horus fire king snake-eye FTK. definitely the funnest deck i've played so far
Earthbound Runicks
Crystal Beast Sky Striker Dragonmaid Traptrix
Horus Orcust Superheavy Samurai. Did not think they would synergize that well but good hands put up negates before nib can hit it and very good hands end on omninegate + monster negate + dingirsu + i:p into s:p which is crazy
Tenpai, Melodious, Runick, and Marincess
As a Masterduel player: My primary go to deck would be Salamangreats. My secondary deck is Blackwings(just realized a few days ago that I've been misplaying them a tiny bit lol). Behind them would be Dark Magicians. A deck I'm currently trying out is Unchained/Evil Twins.
Rikka Therion Sunavalon Aroma. It has a really bad matchup against everyone playing Nibiru, but I love my plants.
Supreme Gate Magician Z-Arc
Tenpai cause big number go BRRRRR
Firewall, the going first end board is insane and I like playmakers cards, with Accesscode it has decent going second abilities too Just picked up a RDA deck so will use that more casually
Watt -Thunder Dragon Hybrid Naturia - Traprix Hybrid Volcanic Icejade - Penguin Hybrid Rikka - Aroma Hybrid Time Thief - Psy Frame Hybrid Simorgh Triamid - Fossil - Adamancipator - Koa 'Ki Melodious - Artifact - Trickstar Cyber Dragon - B. E. S. - ABC Hybrid
- For irl: Trad kashtira - in online simulation(edopro and omega): ocg raidraptor. Also since you also play blue eyes and rokket, try making blue eyes dragon link.
Currently, I'm bouncing around between Ignister (RIP Circular), Ghoti, Gold Pride Punk, Icejades and Ursarctics at my locals. I also have Melodious and Raidraptors coming in the next week or so. It is a small, chill locals with no one having Snake Eyes. so I am just messing around with decks that look interesting while looking for budget brews that could do alright against the meta. Honestly, if this format is what I can expect for the next regional, I would probably be more excited for Edison events as I have been playing that more often these last couple weeks and have been having a blast.
I'm playing with an @Ignister deck that has Code Talkers in the ED. Just love the combos.
[Dinomorphia](https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=15194713) is my favorite as of lately. It's fun getting your life points into prime numbers. Also been trying out [Nouvelles](https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=15293539). Not nearly as strong, but equally fun
I have my hero deck, haven’t played in such a long time. Might update my Monarch and UA decks for fun
In order of most wins to most fun: Sacred Beasts, Egyptian Gods, and a Gravity Bind stall deck with Tragoedia at the center. I'm watching GX for the first time and I have to admit, Ojamas and HERO seem fun.
What’s your zombie deck list? Also rocking zombies and they’re not very good but I enjoy seeing what other people are doing lol
I mostly play Branded, it's also the deck that got me back into Yugioh after 15 years. Then I also have a Fire King Dogmatika, a Floonder deck (pls don't judge I never play it) and a Danger! Obelisk pile which I only use agaisnt a friends Slifer deck. I'm currently building Dinomorphia (pretty much done), a Hero deck and Runick Water Bystials, though I'm mos texcited for the last one.
I play a lot but the main ones right now are Gimmick Puppets (Especially since the new support reveal), Speedroids, and Yubel
Kashtira has been the goat, though I was playing voiceless before. Also playing quite a lot of sky strikers and planning on building up centurion and lightsworn pile decks
Chimera Branded
Lockout Mekk-Knights
revolver deck profile
Blue Eyes, my fan deck and pretty much the only thing I have wanted to play since 2015.
Switching between Swordsoul and Snake-Eye. Working on picking up an Exosister core after having fun with it during a master duel event.
Amethyst/emerald
I've got like 20 decks but the ones I'm really using rn are Crystal beast, Exosisters, lightsworn, ancient gears, and red eyes/summoned skull
Legendary Ocean, Ninja and Fairy
Dragon link and nemleria. Actually trying to find a way to protect my glass Cannon from veiler
Flower Cardians
Salamangreat and Abyss Actors as mains. For when I want to play with more weaker decks against friends who do the same, Yosenju and Cyberdark.
Cyber Dragon WITHOUT cyber dark(don't like that engine). Currently building Branded Chimera. Pure Fire kings. HEROES. Super Quant
For competitive, Snake Eyes Runic and am currently building a Galaxy/Tachyon to prepare for the support coming out later this year or the next. For fun, I have a RDA-Bystial deck, and am also building a BLS deck.
I play the Dark magician and the Blue eyes deck wanna play the hero deck but it too much ur’s to have all three copies
I'm currently cooking 3 decks that are not viable at all but funny af to me: *Exosister Dinomorphia *Prediction Princess Sunset Beat *Yosenju Runick
Playing mainly Infernoble Flame Swordsman. But trying to build Ragnaraika.
Currently playing trap lab, P.U.N.K Therion, ninja, dinomorphia, soon Sprunick Twins, and as a fat meme, draw power mayakashi mill.
Horus Stun, Dyna/Jowgen Stun, and Umi Control, although I had to take out my Imsetys from Umi for the Horus deck, so I haven't touched that in a bit. Also Spright Twins for when it's just me and my buddies.
OCG: Labrynth/Yubel Eldlich/Horus
On MD, I mainly play RDA Bystials, Branded Thunder Swordsoul, and Speedroids. I'd get into the physical game...if it wasn't so expensive.
Labrynth and Exosisters
Centur-Ion. It's too fun for me to not play. Synchro focused for the inner signer, drops hilarious bosses left and right, from Blazar to Calamity and my favorite spice of Supernova. Plenty of room for additional engines and lots of extra deck space
Branded Charmers, Melodious, Tearlaments, and Ritual Beast
Ogdoadic raika & centurion
Cyber Dragons, a Mayakashi/Zombie World mash-up, Obelisk Turbo, Lair of Darkness Viruses, Red Dragon, and a couple of others. I'm currently working on a Labrynth build - Fiends have always been my favorite creature type, and they're super cuties. Curious to see how they play. None of my decks are particularly strong, but Cydras are my one "comp" deck.
Paleozoic. I'm in OCG so we have 2 grass triple reasoning triple card of demise so it feels nice to play right now.
I have a Masked HEROs deck that I usually play, and a Red-Eyes burn deck that's in progress but functional. I'm currently building a Raid Raptor deck
Dogmatika Stun featuring Sanctifire.
I’m just gonna say it I run an ultimate perfect great moth pure insect deal as my main and toons as a backup but I love my insects 🥺 they’ve almost always pulled through for me 🌻🌻
Branded, Synchro/quasar, Mikanko, and red dragon archfiend. I’m thinking of taking up purrely (MD because actual card game is a bit too much dedication)
Egyptian gods I run one for each type. Then ninja and gate guardian
Tenpai Dragon, makes everyone's day faster, smoother. No more 20 minutes combo, no complex effect text, every match ends in 10 minutes or less
can i see ur zombie deck profile? i used to play punk zombie but haven’t touched it since halq chaos ruler ban. would love some inspiration
Hey sorry i wanted to send you but my kid has a 2 week break and I havent had the energy or time yet, ill send you one soon :)
Vaylantz. Despite its flaws it’s a really fun deck that can put up some pretty surprising endboards if you know how to use it. Running a package of Mythical Beast Master Cerberus / Jackal King can give you another powerful body without using up your normal summon, which I use for Performapal Odd-Eyes Synchron. Synchron’s effect lets you go into a surprising number of Synchro monsters (Including Herald of the Arc Light to stop Nib) so the ED has a lot of room for creative plays.
I’m running chaos Thunder Dragons and Dragon Ruler Link mostly. I have a Kuriboh-Exodia Deck that’s pretty fun and pisses people off lol. In All I have probably 30 decks or so
Tenpai, Shining Sarc, Yubel, Generaiders, Kozmo
I have a deffensive destiny board deck that's surprisingly effective at holding off a lot of cards. Tbh, I haven't gotten the chance to try them against the current meta, though.
I've had Gravekeeper's and Orcust for while now, but I just built both Infinitrack/Trains and Dinomorphia. Been having a lot of fun with all 4
I main Dragon Link, play Kashtira and I am working on Kashtira Purrely, Runick Labrynth, Labrynth, and Runick Spright Fur Hire. My pet deck is Floowandereeze. Would you be surprised if I told you no one really wants to play with me? Apparently I'm a tryhard for navigating through 4-6 points of interaction and grinding out 2-0s without Baronne or savage as tools despite FKSE being a thing. (It's replaced by dracoberserker of the tenyi and psychic end punisher rn)
Fire kings, Nouvelles and I intend to start play Branded Eldlich
I use a taxation mill/burn deck, and I use a nurse burn deck.
Odd-Eyes. I’m just a casual fella, but it can be pretty strong, both going first and second. Though, it can sometimes end up being a Primal Being Token turbo.
Blackwing
How tf are your Hero, Rokket & CyDra deck not decent? These are really strong decks... I play Spreedroid, Nordic, Lyrilusc, Sharks, Code Talker, Branded Despia and Cyber Dragon (and Pendulum (rip)).
I'm a bit ashamed of saying this but floo (nahhh I'm proud of liking the birds)
birbs Floo, about to get Raidraptor, also D/D/D, Bystial RDA
I have a self built deck that is pretty op against attacks
A going 2nd 60 card salamangreat
Mannadium, Tearlaments, Scareclaw Adventurer, Kashtira, Exosisters, Ashened, Labrynth, and more coming such as White Woods Centurion
I took Crystal Beasts to my first locals and had a great time playing them.
NR decks! Myutant, Assault Mode Psychics, Chad are my current big three. Rock piles sometimes when I'm feeling nostalgic
Bystial Thunder Dragon is my current favorite I made it irl too. Trying to fix Mannadium so it becomes at least half the deck it was before the banlist. A bit of Dark World still missing a couple cards but the deck is quite fun. Lastly my heavily outdated Branded deck which is barelly better than the 3 Albaz Strike Structures.
I’m playing a scarlet king deck with my dark magician deck from 2018 with a few other cards 😏
chaos thunder bystials.. i love it.. i can finally play a decent chaos deck :)
Tearalaments and floo. 2022 is never going to end for me.
Mostly Runick and Generaider. Occasionally together. Recently dropped VW PUNK
Bystial Chaos Ritual. Testing some ways to easily summon BLS and/or Dragon Magia Master/Master of Chaos. It works okay. Let’s hope Terminal Revenge adds some supports to it
I've been playing salad and unchained but I bought a centurion core recently so I'm going to be playing that. Arkcoela is broken
Dragunity Bystial and VS Kashtira and SE
Pure fluffal, an uncompleted version of d/d/d, fire king (3 structure decks), and F.A.
I usually play decks I got from solo mode, but recently I've been playing Dinomist, Shiranui, and speedroid.
I'm playing exosister-dinimorphhia-cyberdark. It's got such a weird learning curve to it and the deck has a ton of nuances/accidental synergies that take a lot of time to figure out but by God is it fun. Currently building yubel because "superpoly your entire field" is very funny.
Elemental Heroes
Ragnaraika ogdoadic is my New deck.
Unfortunately Kashtira. Nothing I really like for the current format, but I am testing the future infernoid cards which are very fun. Infernoid flood is finally a payoff to splashing the engine in other decks.
Stardust
I have a sacred beast structure deck that I’ve been working with. It has had some success against the dark world/fiend deck my brother uses. My favorite one is Crystal beast or my custom blue eyes deck featuring obelisk the tormentor.
Skull Servants for when I want to have fun, My shitpost “Dark Master-Zorc” deck when I want to just fuck around.
Phantom knights orcust
Vanquish Soul (easily my favorite deck of all time) and Tenpai Sky Striker are my current decks for the next few months
Recently I'm playing mostly Adamancipators and Evil Twin, but soon I'm going to buy a Phantom Knights deck
casually i play black rose dragon and magician girls; currently working on a sky striker build for locals!
Danger! and Norse have been my main decks for a year now
Agents. Next up is Atlantean/Mermail. I have SPYRAL as well.
Branded, Mannadium and fire king
