Anyways, you can talk about anything from the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise here. The real-life TCG, the Japanese OCG format, the anime and manga, video games (including Master Duel and the upcoming Early Days collection), YouTubers that make Yu-Gi-Oh content, it's all fair game.

Master Saga S6 E18

Oh my god lol the costumes are so peak. Gage's short arms are hilarious, Farfa fangirling for One Piece, and Doug with peak acting.

Pulls: Oh boy, this is all Gage. He pulled so crazy in the Kashtira pack, it's basically impossible to fully ban him out. Farfa Tear. Let's see if Farfa can outdo it. Nvm Farfa Runick, cuz Runick Fur Hire lol. Farfa's Runick pulls are significantly better than Doug's. Doug's R-ACEist pulls were crazy actually

Decks: Farfa>Gage>Doug I think this is pretty obvious. They're all high powered and complete deck-ness wise Farfa is super high up there, Gage is pretty close, Doug is nowhere near a complete R-ACE deck

Farfa v Doug: Not even close tbh. Runick Fur Hire draws so much they'd deck themselves out if not for Fountain, I swear

Gage v Doug: Not even close tbh. This duel was over in turn 1. God Doug always gets run over the longer the season goes. I think he picks too many fun stuff near the end when it's time to start getting really broken stuff

Gage v Farfa: Wow Gage's deck is crazier than I thought. Gate Guardian Kashtira might be an SSS tier pack in sealed. Gage tricked Farfa from banishing Jirai Gumo.

Crazy how much worse R-ACE is without Turbulence

Ah got FTK'd by Card Destruction Synchron because I Maxx C'd them.

Well, either that or staring at obscene board. Dude packed SHS, Adventurer, Centurion, Synchron, freaking T.G. off Diabellestar. That deck is made to fuck you up.

Well, it could at least help if you list the condition when it happened.

Like there is an obscure ruling that actually makes you skip battle phase if something else is also skipped etc...I think?

No I just pressed what I usually do to progress to the Battle Phase but instead it skipped straight to end phase

Post your decklist, and if you can, the decklist of the person you were playing when this happened. There has to be some kind of effect causing it.

It's been so long since I've faced him that I forgot just how annoying Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer can be. I faced a "Traptrix" deck today (he never summoned a single Traptrix monster, he just summoned DPE with a hard-drawn Fusion Destiny and supported it with a bunch of trap cards) with my Runick Generaider deck and it turned into a grind game. It took me so long to finally get 2 level 9's on the field to make Laevatein, but once I did, I used it to go into Jormungandr and suck the DPE out of their graveyard as Xyz material. After I did that and got Boss Stage online, they scooped.

Some of my other decks can deal with DPE much easier these days (especially with Bystials being a thing now), I just got unlucky that he showed up while I was using one of my decks that had a rough matchup against him.

Based on this clip, it looks like the cursor "started" on battle phase for some reason (when you thought it would be on main phase1) then you went right and clicked on end phase (when you thought you would be clicking on battle phase). I've never had that happen before, so I don't know what would possibly cause it. I guess just... don't click as fast and make sure you're clicking on the right phase.

chimera illusion was my most anticipated selection pack this year so Im glad its finally releasing soon.

They released at a pretty bad time initially so I wasnt able to farm them much, time passed and I just decided to wait on the pack.

I still remember that one time where me and my opponent are stuck on DPE vs DPE for multiple turns. Neither of us draw anything that can let us play another monster.

It was annoyingly horrible.
Well, of course the Melodious engine is mostly URs, as are the alt arts for Ki-Sikil and Lil-la, why wouldn't they be blatantly greedy?
"No thanks. Anything that begins with you whispering, always ends with other people shouting."
The Live Twin bundle was generous enough for me but five ten packs trying to get Illusion apprentice gave me all of 4 worthless URs and I had to just crafted them.

Making the live twins harder to pull really is a backwards way to encourage people to pick up the deck.

The new bundle was scummy even by Konamis standards but I brought it anyways and dont regret it.

aaaAAA AAA AAA !

So, I took a bit of a hiatus a couple months ago, just needed a break, y'know? But the thing that was always gonna bring me back was more Live/Evil Twin stuff, especially the alt arts. Long story short, the bundle got me Ki-sikil and not a lot more packs in got me Lil-la~ I'm probably gonna keep pulling for full sets, maybe glossies, or, dare I dream, even royals ?

Anyway, since my absence kicked me all the way down to rookie, I figured pure Twins is probably safe for climbing right now. My first duel with it was a really satisfying win against Mikanko where I got to use some of my favorite tools. My favorite play was using Present to steal one of their monsters and give them Lil-la Treat, then on my turn, have just enough materials to make Moon of the Closed Heaven -> Underworld Goddess, then go back into Sunny for game~

EDIT: Oh, also, funny story, I got two alt Masquerenas...which I already had three of from the same 10x back when she initially released~

I got back into Yugioh. Been playing Master Duel.

I honestly don't know much about the current meta. But I've faced people that play these things called Tenpai. Fuck that archetype. It's goddamn annoying to face. Beat one guy yesterday that used it, and it was the most satisfying win I've had so far

Yea, tempai is essentially a going 2nd OTK deck that plays a crap ton of board breakers, can pop off from a dozen one card combo starters, their field spell shuts down all interaction with them until the battle phase and they can deal potentially up to 35k damage.

Also they can play during the battle step also which shuts down a ton of player interaction in and of itself.

Countering them though. Isnt easy. Your top priority is negating either their field spell, paidra, or Kamen. And or negating chundra.

Of course thats under the assumption they didnt open droplet, along with lightning storm/raigeki along with one or two of the above cards. Tenpai cards. If so then you very likely just lose.

The few times I've beaten them, was with Blue Eyes decks. It's like you need to be extra lucky to beat them

Tenpai isn't anything new tbh. There are plenty of other turn 2 burst decks, and they all happen to be extremely toxic. It really is just a game of luck. Did they not draw enough destruction for you to eventually out their whole board? Then you win. If not, there aren't many decks that can survive a full Tenpai combo, which is also just unreasonably hard to fully disrupt

Blue-eyes isnt good but if they dont open imperm or droplet then Jet Dragon is oddly a decent counter against them I think.

Otherwise youre just have to pray they didnt open with Kaman, Chundra, paidra, or Sangen summoning in hand. Which is unlikely to say the least.

Lol I won a match because my opponent took too long during his turn.

Also, I feel like something is off with this game. I know your hands are random, but I've noticed I've gotten some cards like 4 games straight

MS S6 E 19

Been on a trip, just watched it

The powercreep in this series has gone a bit overboard

Pulls: None of these guys pull anything that changes their decks shockingly

Decks: Gage>Farfa>Doug

Farfa v Gage: Gage goes nuts and does Ariseheart, Gate Guardian, TCBOO... AND FARFA OUTS THEM ALL. Farfa is not even out of contention to win the season after being like 2-14 or something.

Gage v Doug: LOL Doug reveals Gage is one of a triplet, and Farfa going "WUUUUT THERE'S THREE OF HIM?" is definitely the moment of this ep. Gage is... he just draws like 3 one-ofs that are perfect for that specific board. Also Doug hasn't won a coin flip in a very long time lmao

Doug v Farfa: Farfa remakes his board through Nib. Pretty ridiculous. Doug's deck actually does something for once. LOL Farfa throws by destroying the Imperial Wall, thus retroactively making Smashers search the thing that wins the game. Can't make that up.

Weird 1-1-1. Honestly speaks to Doug having a miracle run via Farfa throw more than an actual thing

I personally like the power creep towards the ends of the seasons, I definitely prefer it over the usual episode 11 deal where everyone's reset to week 1 power levels. I might also just be coping because I'm so glad Gate Guardian's doing as well as it is.

I just hope Doug doesn't overcorrect and make it so we have twice as many episodes where 1 or 2 people just don't have viable decks because of more frequent banlists. The more frequent banlists would also give decks less time to shine, so if someone got really lucky with their pulls they wouldn't be able to use it for too long, so they'll feel less impactful. One of the earlier seasons had Farfa high roll a decent D/D/D deck, which I was super happy about until Doug got to immediately ban Gilgamesh, which basically killed the deck so it only got played once.
Gate Guardian is fine in sealed cuz it's just so easy to ban out. Labyrinth field spell control style is also pretty powerful, but they can also ban the field too and the deck is unplayable.

If they're not gonna do legacy banlist, I think they should do a more frequent banning cuz some of the legacy bans or pack bans were there for a reason. I swear every time a Tear pack was available, Gage and Farfa couldn't help themselves but to dip into it. Kash/GG is probably also gonna be a cannot skip type pack going forward.

I don't mind the powercreep of late stage Master Saga as well tbh. I'm just worried for my GOAT Doug cuz I don't think he has a deck worth playing rn lmao

Honestly, I kinda wish for the finale they'd just lift the banlist completely so everybody gets their busted decks back. Or at least get to unban one card.

Also if you wanna get rid of the Gate Guardian deck completely you can just ban Kazejin. No access to Combined or its two best two-part fusions.
Playing Pkmn TCG Pocket made me appreciate how little luck based mechanics exist in YGO. It's basically the turn coin toss, but it's not an immediate loss if you lose it.

*heavy breathing* it's actually happening. I mean there are 2 decks I own irl and care about (sorry other decks but it's just true), which are PUNKs and Ritual Beasts.

Let's see how good this is

Banish is really good. This allows for Leviair to revive a lvl 3 without the need to use the field spell, which can better lead to Draco Future (he's insane vs. Tenpai). It also obviously extends from the opponent popping your PUNKs. This card is freaking insane.

Would I have preferred a spell card that solves cancer? Yes, but this is actually very insane. You can summon Sharakusai with his? her? effect.

Oh my god, the Xyz can be summoned with 1 mat. Ridiculous. Ok that's hilarious. Either you can use 2 lvl 8s and get a draw and negate, or you can just use 1 PUNK boss and settle for negate without the draw. There's pretty good argument of just making them with Horus.

This is a lot of power. They're not fillers or whatever, they're a pretty straight forward upwards upgrade

God, it's actually ridiculous how good the support is. I was thinking more about Horus. I do feel like this is basically just the go to rank 8 now. It stops Nib. I mean need I say more? That means any deck that can make a rank 8 b4 the 5th summon are now Nib insulated. I mean Nib usage is drastically gonna go down in the Tenpai format, but it's something. If they held a hand trap for long, or if you didn't even need an interruptible play to summon the rank 8. You do that, and then you get to Sharakusai, it stops your Rising Carp from being Ash'd

It's crazy. The more I think about it, the crazier it gets. It's boggling my mind
"Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo
https://i.imgur.com/krtFHol.jpg
Tbf if you just want anti-Nib Rank 8 there is Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord, whose negate is more generic (the destroy needs to be Galaxy card).

JAM FEVER only negates if there is a Lv 3 Psychic, well, not that it is hard to achieve, but it is better incentive for P.U.N.K. to go instead of Photon Lord because it is a P.U.N.K. card which you can use to banish for Extreme Session/Rising Scales, not to mention you can get JAM FEVER the easy way of overlaying Rising Carp or Dragon Drive.

Oh yeah I forgot about that little subtext. Well I guess for PUNKs, in many ways it's just a significantly superior Photon Lord. For other decks, I guess if you run Ghost Ogre, it's a better option. It's a negate and destroy after all

Tmw when you rely on your unsearchable handtrap to negate and destroy.

I guess if you use P.U.N.K. engine but still.
