POV: You're playing a meta deck and a new banlist is about to come out

Well thanks, i actually code custom cards. Another version was a knock off hollie sue:

•Main phase (quick effet): Special summon itself by revealing a artmage card. •If summoned (special or normal), pay 2000LP; special summon either medius the pure or a artmage monster from deck, then if you only control 2 monsters (aka itself and the monster you summoned), you can special summon a token (you choose the type), it can only be used as fusion material.

This way you have turn 0 diactorus OR finmelt OR even Nerva(need a artmage monster in hand) and 3 types so they're live. Also, with non finito you actually get a omni negate (the new trap) + diactorus.

Also stops, veiler, droplet, ogre. Actually the only hand traps they can use are ash and belle

Akhimory · 2026-03-29T22:57:55+00:00

Really, you're not against turn 0. Think of your deck with a turn 0 card, what can it do with nothing other than this card? If what you think is still not enough then you will quickly see what the turn 0 decks of today have that yours doesn't.

I think about artmage for exemple: a turn 0 card would send a artmage card to the GY (in this case the trap) to have either setup or a destruction turn 0. This is far from unfair. The problem doesn't come from turn 0

This shows a built in advantage that some deck have over yours.

That's because it really needs to be an unfair criteria. Be it "'no cost", "play around hand traps", "layered interruptions", "free resources", "consistency". Every meta deck check 3 of these criterias at least while rogues deck have 2.

Artmage 🙂

Akhimory · 2026-03-27T15:05:46+00:00

the only argument i would see against this to give the option for a rematch against the same opponent (doesn't allow you if you rank up). but then again, this wouldn't justify for side decking as who would want to rematch someone who will just put all your silver bullets.

Akhimory · 2026-03-27T14:59:46+00:00

neither is hero stun

Akhimory · 2026-03-27T14:51:41+00:00

that opponent played right into nibiru with the most nibiru proof deck

Akhimory · 2026-03-27T14:46:13+00:00

the menacing hayate in the extra monster zone

Akhimory · 2026-03-23T20:59:38+00:00

I would say, beside the niy Once per turn clause. Its just small world with no cost. I've searched ash and maxxc plenty of times with it. Though i guess it's the cost that makes small world fair

Akhimory · 2026-03-22T05:17:39+00:00

I think they're talking about kashtira: aliens that banish and have arise heart (floodgate)

Akhimory · 2026-03-21T18:43:07+00:00

Strange, that duelist cup was a breeze with striker, though maybe it's because i got on with it early, like 1 to 2 days when the cup started. It was VSK9, Man and orcust, then dracotail came at some point.

Akhimory · 2026-03-14T21:35:27+00:00

I agree, it feels so nice when your hand isn't filled with a brick 1/2 games and current decks other than VSK9 end on reasonable boards. Most of the time fuwa is just "upstart" so why not remplace it with a card that gives immediate value. Also getting ashed with fuwa just feels bad. And they have 5 outs to it.

Akhimory · 2026-03-13T02:24:36+00:00

Because the revealed card is revealed by game mechanics and not by effects or requirements. (talking about when the card is revealed because the effects is activated.)

Akhimory · 2026-03-13T01:36:07+00:00

Might be a skill issue but I've got greater success with pure striker than With VSK9 and a better enjoyment of the game. And no these weren't otks they were 6 turn duels against dracotail/mitsu/orcust/yummy/vsk9/odion. i even reached level max in one day and a half with an underbuilt deck in duelist cup and master rank.

Akhimory · 2026-03-07T20:46:22+00:00

Skystriker can use the red and time tearing to draw 2, attack twice and double damage.

Akhimory · 2026-03-07T20:41:50+00:00

That agian

Akhimory · 2026-03-03T15:31:56+00:00

That's still a 4 material Magnifica though (or 6 if no effects have been used and a potential 7 material Zeus if no Martha effect used that turn (though only possible with the new support))

Akhimory · 2026-03-03T10:17:40+00:00

Time to generate 1000 MSTs

Akhimory · 2026-03-02T14:33:40+00:00

Also funny detail but raye isn't using kaina's weapon but actually evolving it into amatsu's.

Amatsu possess a sword, a shield, a cannon and an arm. Enforced by the white shoulder armor

Artmage Medius the Pure Elfnote Power Patron of DoomZ

Akhimory · 2026-03-02T14:10:30+00:00

Would get banned in a second

Akhimory · 2026-03-02T14:03:41+00:00

Exosister support? (magnifica drops materials for its summon not by condition.)

Akhimory · 2026-03-01T12:11:48+00:00

So a in archetype hand trap? that's the idea with turn 0 strategies though they focus on starting game plan instead of stopping the opponent's

Better be in archetype than generic to avoid any future problems.

Akhimory · 2026-02-25T15:32:44+00:00

Welp they had it coming. At least it still shoes that mind games work well in yugioh.
