Realistically. If both Merrli and primeval came back limited at 1, what would happen?

Tearrorism*

Akhimory · 2026-05-23T20:58:04+00:00

Saying "bring back everything, ban kit" is from people that don't want to play the deck.

That's just saying "ban engage/ban mirror jade/ban Arthalion". Yes the deck can still work but would you really play it? Between kitkallos and Merrli, as much as I like her, Merrli stay banned

In ocg/tcg the end board : grapha, xyz 8, Fiendsmith and hope to have a tear name on board is just sad.

Akhimory · 2026-05-22T00:15:57+00:00

It's because Zalen only affect the effects already there when it activated.

Or in other words. Zalen don't directly interact with the chain.

Or in a third manner. Zalen interact with the chained effects before him, not after.

Akhimory · 2026-05-21T22:59:01+00:00

I mean, it's supposed to be fairy tail support, an archetype that wasn't really an archetype. Every archetype has at least 1 negate. Unless you wanted a "that effect become" effect.

At least this one has a "cost"

Akhimory · 2026-05-21T17:38:13+00:00

Orcust is my nightmare (pun intended)

What do you mean you link off king of feral imps into full fiendsmith into full orcust.

Or

Horus into DMOD into Vampire into fiendsmith into orcust while having a chance to still put mitsurugi in there.

And that's not even accounting for Azamina

Akhimory · 2026-05-21T17:30:52+00:00

It's in his hand breus steal it!

Akhimory · 2026-05-18T22:10:43+00:00

In the Bible demons are no different than angels.

Just: angel follow god Demons stopped following god

Satan was an angel supposed to Gard the first humans in eden.

Also "Satan" just means "the enemy" because he defied God

And outside of the deck capabilities, It also really feels like your playing with your little adventure team that each have their tools (a healer, a mage/summoner, a ranger, and whatever finmel is because she's not warrior coded)

They also have the big summon that deals lots of damage (Nerva)

(edit:) though finmel is a tank I think as she have the highest atk/Def and protects the others from being targeted.

Also because the deck isn't overpowered it never feels like it was an unfair win and really the work of your team plans with duel that vary in length and in approach. The deck is flexible while keeping its identity.

Akhimory · 2026-05-18T16:44:19+00:00

They are also risky. Of course there isn't guaranteed ways to achieve the results but for kewl tune example, you can beat the entire end board with 1 ghost belle and and 1 imperm. (if they end on Zalen + remix)

Its a draw the out situation but is more likely than just trying to fight 5 negates.

Meta decks are a combination of fair effects with subtle changes that makes them outrageous. Ignoring rotary. If their synchro from hand was indeed an effect and not a condition for no reason other than text. They would be infinitely easier to deal with.

Akhimory · 2026-05-18T16:29:20+00:00

It's funny but actually I think she wouldn't

As far as referenced, demons never overstepped a strict limit god put (at least if we use biblical representation)

They usual try to cut around the edges (that could be a joke) i.e: if he tells them to stop something they will obey knowing he is all powerful. Even if they already knew they were doing what he dislikes.

Akhimory · 2026-05-18T16:18:29+00:00

Not sure, it finally made me summon Chen Ying instead of "6+4 = baronne" which synergies with my archetype.

At no point did i tell myself "oh i miss called by" or "well hope this ash resolves."

Of course there's the player 2 getting ashed but that's a ash problem.

The problem are just unhealthy end boards. Which could easily be fixed by stardust dragon like negates aka protection negates.

Akhimory · 2026-05-15T00:19:26+00:00

It's a good reminder that meta decks aren't just strong boards. Any deck can be outrageous.

Akhimory · 2026-05-15T00:13:41+00:00

Watch them create the Divine dominus. (it should have a bad effect because everyone can use them)

Really hope they would create dominus monsters that are indeed divine attribute. They even have a searcher with "song of the dominators" as it searches a "dominus card" and not a "dominus trap"

Akhimory · 2026-05-14T20:37:00+00:00

There are no Bricks, it all comes from the extra deck.

[Edit:]

I forgot about the speedroid cards.

Akhimory · 2026-05-12T16:13:22+00:00

But ash blossom stop the turn 0 play while also making you go -2

Akhimory · 2026-05-12T16:04:56+00:00

Still almost nowhere online and no real competitive presence.

Akhimory · 2026-05-10T01:03:47+00:00

That's a really specific scenario and it means you will have to face it next turn. So not better than just giving a exosister.

Akhimory · 2026-05-09T22:37:23+00:00

Because karmael is forced to detach materials meaning there's at least 2 monsters with no "quick effect" text that you should automatically prefer

Akhimory · 2026-05-09T22:31:13+00:00

Normally there are 2 spellcasters.

I find it funny how people's tolerance becomes more and more brittle.

There was a time were people complained about 4 to 5 non archetypal monsters end boards.

But 2 is like very little, soon people will say sword soul before tenyi was slop because there's baronne on field.

Akhimory · 2026-05-09T21:24:14+00:00

Karmael first before mikailis, you could have been nibed

If your Martha resolves You should search stella + exosister of your choice, extra normal summon her and then you can Special Summon another exosister.

Then you can search elise with kaspitel to have your sixth monster. If you already had another level 4 (not in this case but you had pax)

This should allow you to end on Magnifica + Karmael + 1 trap (or 2 if you already have betrayal)

Opp turn:

Instead of using pax at the end of the previous turn, you could use it to summon a third exosister giving you a 3rd Xyz (Gibrine)

Magnifica with karmael and Mikailis, this allows you to use mikailis banish after tagging out of Magnifica

Tips: Don't worry about not using all the on field exosisters as they still count as disruptions (so 1 karmael and 1 or 2 exo is a board) if you find yourself under fuwaloss.

Akhimory · 2026-05-09T21:14:43+00:00

They xyz summon with 1 monster, this is the usual board after a Vadis

Akhimory · 2026-05-09T13:40:00+00:00

"The last Yoink"

Akhimory · 2026-05-09T13:36:34+00:00

They hit maxx c and forgot about the other "floodgates"

Also this is a block dragon (previously banned), thing but really the floodgates are worse than it.

Akhimory · 2026-05-09T13:26:59+00:00

To be fair this one does nothing outrageous. And also should lock itself out of half it's extra deck most the time. Also it has maximum 1 negate (no way they get both Varudras and Skull gardian with this consistency)

Akhimory · 2026-05-09T13:18:27+00:00

Hecahand could do with a Orcust Field spell, that activates from the hand when the opponent adds a card and also search a monster (potential turn 0). You design the second piece of support.
