Yu-Gi-Oh! Society

Oh damn I didn't know this thread existed.

I'm considering what deck I play at my locals worlds qualifiers qualifier thing lmao
I'm building pends atm but might finish building the salad deck I never really built or build striker now the deck's within my price range.

Really depends on the next banlist cause it's in January

Pendulums are too fragile imo.

been toying with @ignisters and so far it seems to be great for single player duels (going 2nd is better but eternity code should have more support) and I would say so far it plays better than salads (although I have a feeling aidle reborn and tai strike will be hit with bans / limits, as well as potentially pikari and doyon).

fellow pendulum fan as well (personally tend to go more synchro biased for extra deck). Salads are great but have been weakend due to limits on gazelle. Sky strikers...I personally would wait to see the banlist to see how engage and anchor will be affected. Orcustrated is something seem to play a lot of these days (pure or with strikers). also strikers are getting more support.

Personally, Id also consider waiting for ignition assault and eternity code to get released as @ignisters are better than salads imo (fairly easy to summon / swarm main deck monsters, great spells and the extra deck monsters are lovely if you swarm the field with ignisters (and can be swarmed fairly easily themselves - the synchro can wipe out all your opponents spell and traps, the xyz can wipe out the opponent's monsters and allows you to special summon a cyberse monster from the grave if another of your monsters attacks / destroys another monster; dark templar can summon monsters from the grave if you special summon and if you attack, fire phoenix inflicts damage equal to the attack of the monster it battles, the fusion monster can be summoned by a card akin to super poly and gains attack equal to the monster it attacks, the ritual monster can return a card to the hand). The anime boss monster for @ignister has been errata'd in the OCG in eternity code but still gains 1000atk per monster used to summon it and is unaffected by other card effects. What is interesting is that the final boss card for Playmaker from the anime has not been errata'd irl and has retained the same effects (so you can make it gain 1000atk per link marker of 1 monster and has a potential +6 negate/destroy per turn for 2 turns).

in anycase, best of luck.

I don't really see @ignister doing much tbh and the tournament is before either ignition assault or eternity code (unless I got my dates wrong) and is only a week after the next banlist...

Even pendgod has abandonned Endymion but I'mma keep it going for now I think.
Trying to get an Apollousa atm and one of my friends is giving me his upstarts (even tho I only need 1) and rarity bumps for 2 of my desires.

I honestly think it won't have any impact in IGAS. OCG scene is different but it has done absolutely nothing there and even danger dark world is relevant there. It absolutely hard loses to thunder dragon.

speaking of OCG, crystron needlefibre is finally coming to the tcg downside is it has an absolutely weird name in the tcg (should have called it glassfibre, instead its Halqifibrax

Eh they've always been weird puns that deck, I'm hoping for wise strix to come to TCG in DUOV (still need to get a IRL deck) since that card is insane.

imo the ned to errata the shooting dragons, majestic (saviour) star dragon and cosmic blazar dragons to include "this card is treated as a "Stardust" Monster" in their text (just this small change can have a drastic impact on gamplay). Ive been toying with the latest deckbuilds in the OCG for Skystrikers, HEROs and Synchro warriors / Junk, and I have to say the latter 2 are surprisingly fun to play with (synchro chase and satellite warrior are lovely to play together and have managed to summon Sat. Warrior with 5500+atk and another dragon to the field at the same time (usually crystal wing or quantum). imo E Hero absolute zero is underrated and should be played at more than 1 as it nukes the opponents field when it leaves it.

skystriker roze and zeke (sieg?) do add an extra layer to the skystriker (brandish maiden) game but I still cant get it work properly (keep bricking draws online).

ever since they've had ranking duels on duelingnexus.com, it seems that I am a diamond ranked player, who has won most of their matches with salads and surprisingly, junk decks. In terms of losses, my worst deck has been skystrikers (I always seem to get bad draws whenever I use them), junk (need more protection) and pendulum (usually pendulum tends to be my strongpoint but they seem to loose online against subdwellers quite badly, as well as altegeists).

What is extremely surprisingly re: junk, is thhat I have been able to win matches against salamangreats (thank you OCG support that is due to come out in the TCG next year), dracos and skystrikers (it seems that synchro charge is an excellent way of getting multiple synchros onto the field, which in turn can summon more synchros and resummon themselves).

Managed to peak in GM with earth BA, also is the 2nd paragraph in random games because ranked ain't got OCG stuff.

@quasa

What cards do you think will be hit on banlist. I feel like orcust will receive babel ban, harp limit just for consistency, sky striker drones banned and engage semi, colossus probably go to 1 and I feel like some odd very minor consistency hit will be done to salamangreat. I'm hoping for a reset banlist of sorts especially since upcoming sets aren't impressive either.

imo they need to pre-emptive strike fluffals to avoid FTKs, cyber infinity definitely needs to be hit (sadly I doubt that will happen due to the popularity of cyber dragon), likewise toadally awsome. Halqifibrax (needlefibre), Junk convertor and junk speeder may be getting hit as soon as MR5 happens as they will be used for synchro spamming very effective boss monsters (particularly speeder, which can make you easily summon a whole plethora of boss monsters, including quantum, crystal, satellite warrior and red supernova dragon), Dingirisu is one card I want to see hit as orcusts from personal experience tend to suffer without it, along with babel. Engage might be limited (I have a feeling Sieg may be potentially hit later in the year) but agree about thunderdragon fusions. Salads are a weird one as they can still be effective with limited numbers. If you want to really screw salads, ban gazelle and limit spinny / sanctuary / wolf to 1.
