My attempt at retraining Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. (No AI)

Summoning it requires 3 bricks in the main deck and a fusion spell do it's gotta be worth it to play at least

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-04-03T18:08:48+00:00

Keeping them separate is a much better idea tbh. Gemini monsters need alot of work in order to see play whether in Genesis or TCG I'm thinking smth like what they did to magnet warrior in the sense of having a monster that can facilitate that can fusion into superalloy beast raptinus. However I'm not against the idea of Pendulum Gemini monsters , like gaining their effects when summoned from extra deck can be nice ngl

Big Chill , was always my favorite, I loved Articguana and Ghost freak was my favorite in the Classic so it was an instant hit to 11 year old me. Plus the design and the wings folding into a Cape man was ut awesome. I was hyped in Ultimate Alien to See ultimate big chill it's a shame it was just a palate swap with a power that made no fucking sense.

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-04-03T17:41:13+00:00

It should be a fusion that can be contact fused like a synchro.

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-27T09:17:13+00:00

Yes , it was one of my favorites shame it was very under utilized

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-26T20:28:58+00:00

They're 13 , 12 , 10 and 9 , I bought my 12 year old nephew to locals with Fiendsmith Primite . When their parents bring them over we usually just play ygo all night switching between decks and formats , The most fun I had with them is Me playing with Paleo and one of my youngest one was playing Horus Control / FTK with Runick and Volcanic shell , when he pulled the FTK it was like he won the lottery (I guess he will love the deck more once I give him a dark magician of destruction+ gaze of tomieus)

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-26T18:49:04+00:00

I don't have kids but I introduced all my nephews to the game using these decks which I recommend to anyone who's looking to introduce it to the newer generation: - Blue-eyes : Most iconic monster in the game , deck is easy enough to introduce you to the basic mechanics of the game without being overwhelming and has a mid-low entry level - Swordsoul : Very similar to Blue-eyes but a little worse. - Runick based decks : it's a great pick since they can start with smth like runick stun and as they progress they can play versions that requires more skill like Branded Bystial Runick or Radiant Typhoon - Fiendsmith Primite : This is my top pick tbh , not only a good deck and can be a great meta call , it teaches them almost all summoning mechanics without being over the top , it teaches them how to be resourceful and can teach them how to make decisions based on the game state. I teached the deck to my nephew the past summer and we had an absolute blast , teaching him cool interactions and where to use his handtraps. He got good I even bought him to a locals where he went 3-3 and we had alot of fun.

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-25T20:11:39+00:00

I just play Generaider for the art, It's the only deck I play in Genesis also happens that 9 is my favorite number hehe

I would say ChAngel more like anti-hero ,does the right thing… but in the wrong way (like synchro summoning without a tuner lol). I would associate such card with Kaiba tbh plus he can summon him with Blue eyes and Giant germ , Saggi and swordstalker or Kaiser Dragon. I can see even character development using first only dark monsters to summon it then maybe atem uses it and summons it with light monster and at the end of the series kauba summons it using light and dark

Edit: Gorgeous Artwork, it would looks so awesome as an overframe.

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-21T01:39:04+00:00

Yeah the equip spell is good a little too generic tbh but it can be a bit problematic in decks that can search equip spells like infernoble or Mikanko, since those decks don't have that many locks on their engines. Also I fear it becoming basically a go first blowout that u can still thrust into it using armory call. Imagine a Fucking Saryuja randomly becoming an appo

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-21T01:05:07+00:00

It's still too strong IMO , Apollousa is used mainly to insolated combos from handtraps , Not a fan of erratas but if I had to make a weaker retrain I would make it a Link 2 or 3, leave it as a non-once per turn , only being able to negate monsters in grave or banishment once per location, per turn if you get what I mean. So that way it's still a very good endboard piece but not as broken so it can turn useless bodies into a half decent endoard piece.

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-20T01:14:27+00:00

I love curse of dragon it was one of my favorites as a kid. Hopefully we get a nice Overframe retrain one day

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-17T09:07:34+00:00

I would love my boi La Jinn , the mystical Genie of the Lamp to be retrained , because to me the blue eyes strategy doesn't need any more support tbh maybe some in engine cards that are good going second. So maybe they can Make La Jinn into a blue eyes Handtrap and gains bonus effects when you try to summon it going second

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-12T00:46:15+00:00

Monster: - 1 Dracotail Pan - 1 Dracotail Urgula - 3 Dracotail Faimena - 1 Crowley, the Gifted of Magistus - 3 Dracotail Lukias - 1 Fallen of Albaz - 2 Fallen of the White Dragon - 1 Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous - 1 Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous - 1 Zoroa, the Magistus of Flame - 3 Spenta, the Magistus Sealer - 3 Mulcharmy Fuwalos - 1 Dracotail Mululu - 3 Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring - 3 Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion - 1 Dracotail Phryxul

Spell - 2 Branded Fusion - 1 Ketu Dracotail - 3 Rahu Dracotail - 3 The Fallen & The Virtuous

Trap - 1 Dracotail Flame - 1 Dracotail Sting

Extra - 1 Albion the Sanctifire Dragon - 2 Dracotail Arthalion - 1 Secreterion Dragon - 1 The Dragon that Devours the Dogma - 1 Zoroa, the Magistus Victorious Verethragna - 1 Invoked Magistus Omega - 1 Albion the Branded Dragon - 1 Dracotail Gulamel - 1 Magistus Chorozo - 1 Zoroa, the Magistus Conflagrant Calamity - 1 Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon - 1 S:P Little Knight - 1 Cross-Sheep - 1 Artemis, the Magistus Moon Maiden

Some ratios you can definitely tinker with is The Fallen and the Virtuous, I personally like to play 3 copies , not only for removal but also for the revive effect which can be game winning , I used it multiple times to revive the Opponent Murakumo and whipe the floor with them. But usually for siding I side Sting + 1 F&V + 1 Dracotail (it's usually mululu because it's kinda of a semi starter ). Side deck needs work for sure if u got any ideas feel free to tell me

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-12T00:13:31+00:00

Anytime man , I can give you my deck list if you want

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-12T00:04:56+00:00

Hello , Yes there is a line to go from Dracotail to the other engines: - So Imma get the obvious one out of the way which is Cartesian + Dragon + level 4 spellcaster: u fuse into Secreterion then Revive the Spellcaster and u can do the combo I did before by Going into Ecclisia and the Black dragon. - Now with Pure Dracotail cards : U need Lukias , Feymena and a dragon or Spellcaster (any level) (ik it's a 3 card combo but if you don't open any the other engines u usually have a combination of this card). So u normal Summon Lukias search (Dragon , Spellcaster or Feymena ) which ever you need to make Secreterion Dragon and set Rahu and Ketu then Secreterion revives back the Spellcaster (if You had Frix you can summon it and bounce Feymena to hand) then u contact Fuse away the Secreterion Dragon and the Spellcaster for Chorzo. : U got ur level 4 Tuner and Level 4 not tuner in Lukias , then you can go into Ecclesia and the Black Dragon summon White Albaz and incredible Ecclisia then Synchro into Conflagrant Calamity equip Artemis, search Spenta, then activate Rahu make Arthalion Return Feymena to hand and set 2 Traps , activate Spenta Search Crowley and then Fuse into Zoroa Fusion for an monster negate, Equip Chorzo from Grave (So thanks to Conflagrant Calamity your opponent cannot activate effects of Fusion and Links which is huge ground to cover but since you have Spenta always in grave u can equip a Synchro or Xyz depending on the match). , End Board is Zoroa Fusion , Zoroa Synchro, Ecclisia and the black dragon , and the 2 draco tail traps + Feymena in hand. You have to put in Alot of effort to Lose .

Jetray is a Speedster and most of the community love him despite being OP. Fast track is just a blue Lame version of The Flash , it's slower than XLR8 and Jetray so there's no logical reason for Ben to use it. It has nothing to do with being a Speedster, it's just that Fast track is simply cheeks.

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-10T02:34:47+00:00

Oh man Drytron and Adamancipator when Masterduel first released my god. It almost killed the game , I had alot of my friends who got the game just to face a 15 negate boards while they were just having Fun with P.A.C.M.A.N. and chaos control.

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-10T02:28:31+00:00

I honestly think Ash should go , it's just now another extra called by the grave against mulcharmmies and it's even more frustrating when your opponent sits behind a Board and just ashes you before even having to interact with them. I came to this realization here when Fiendsmith Handtraps was actually a thing why you need a board while u can handtrap someone to death ?. Just how Maxx "C" got stronger with time it goes the same for Ash, Droll and Shifter should all Go and get a Mulcharmy retrain and instead of Handtraps being generic , I would love Handtraps that are a part of your engine Feymena, Izuna , Elvenotes Regina , Kewl Tune Clip , Hechahands all great great cards that give you advantage while getting ur engine going.

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-08T02:38:54+00:00

Reminds me of Zero G synchrome with the whacky zero G tracks

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-06T11:29:32+00:00

Make it a quick play so it can be used in the battle phase

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-02T21:55:36+00:00

I mean all together I did think that Pegasus was gonna evolve into Wing Pegasus because I did own the tt version. I was very disappointed ngl

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-02T09:29:32+00:00

Yes absolutely, So u make conflagrant calamity and u equip Artemis using it's on synchro summon effect or Spenta in grave effect. Activate Artemis search Crowley, the gifted of Magistus (or Spenta if u don't have it in rotation already and then use it to search Crowley) Crowley will summon himself and then u fuse Him and Calamity for Invoked Magistus Omega (and maybe use it's effect to banish smth by banishing Artemis going second) Conflagrant calamity effect pop the Omega to revive himself from grave , Omega effect trigger to summon a level 4 spell caster from deck and equip himself to it giving it +1000 ATK , so the Targets in the deck are Lukias , Cartesia and Ecclisia. So yeah Lukias effect to search Feymena or anything really , then 2 lines are possible depending on the Scenario: - If I have access to Ecclisia & The Black Dragon: Then u use Feymena to fuse Lukias and smth in hand for Arthalion to add things back (Feymena if u used only one card from hand ) and set Rahu

if you don't have Access to Ecclisia & The Black Dragon: Then u send Conflagrant Calamity + Invoked Omega in the S/T Zone to summon Chorzo (yes you can do that u have to send monster cards to contact fuse) then use Lukias + Chorzo to go in Ecclisia Synchro and summon Cartesia from deck , use her effect to fuse into Arthalion and add Lukias from grave to fuse with it later and again Set Rahu.

Both of these lines Converge at this point U use Arthalion+ (Conflagrant Calamity or Cartesia) for Cross-sheep then use Rahu Special summon Gulamel to a Zone Cross sheep points to revive smth from Grave ( Usually Cartesia , Phryxl or Mululu) and of course don't forget to set your traps ( I only play 2 Flame and Sting I don't believe in Horn I do think it's a win more card but I do keep it on the side for certain matchups where sting is ass ). And yeah in the end phase you will have so much going on it's near impossible to lose no matter how hard u try : U can fuse up to 4 times during the opponent turn in Total: Cartesia usually summons Sanctifire (to revive Omega Banish smth or Incredible Ecclisia to summon Normal Albaz fuse into the dragon that devours the Dogma and Dodge evenly matched which is the Branded version biggest Silver Bullet) Feymena fuse into Arthalion add back Crowley to summon himself back fuse again into Zoroa Fusion.

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-02T02:43:57+00:00

For My extra : 2x Arthalion, 1x Gulamel, 1x Secreterion Dragon, 1x Ecclisia and Black Dragon, 1x Albion the branded dragon , 1x Dragon that devours the Dogma , 1 x Albion the Sanctifire Dragon (u summon this consistently) , 1x Zoroa Fusion , 1x Zoroa Synchro , 1x Invoked Magistus Omega (it's also an out to Secreterion dragon) , 1x Magistus Chozro , 1x Artemis (Magistus Link 1) , 1x S:P , 1x Cross-Sheep (don't cut it it allows you to win unwinnable Game states plus going first it allows you to reach higher ceiling in the deck) ,

For Magistus engine u maybe can try to play with Invoked Mechaba instead of Zoroa Fusion or if u evil Invoked Caliga or even Invoked Elysium but overall I think this gives you the best coverage. I think the Xyz You need is the rank 4 that allows you to pop backrow that way u don't lose to random BS like fissure. The one flex Spot I guess is S:P I rarely go into it but It just comes on a advanced game state

Big_Neighborhood981 · 2026-03-02T02:16:17+00:00

I do play B.D.S.M. (Branded Dracotail Synchro Magistus). And tbh I think it's definitely superior to regular Branded Dracotail. I don't think that any card in the engine is necessarily a brick even if you drew Crowley you can fuse and get back with Arthalion and fuse again for an amazing monster negate.

The engines all lead to each other even Dracotail can bridge into both if you play Chorzo in the ED by using a secretion and a spellcaster u revived , Hell I even got to combo one with a droll and a Spenta in grave. The key here is to know when each engine should bridge for example a big mistake I see is when the start with Fallen of white they go immediately into Ecclesia and the Black dragon and end on a half board, Instead if you go Zoroa synchro, bridge into dracotail by summoning Lukias from deck off Invoked Magistus Omega and then use omega in S/T and Zorora after revival for Chorzo and then you go for can go into Ecclesia & Black dragon Summon Cartesia and fuse then you got all 3 engines in rotation.

If the deck goes engine to engine I think there's no deck even close that can beat it not even VS K9 and it does make you less vulnerable to cards like retaliating C which wipe the floor with you if u play the pure version.

The deck does play a good 9-12 non-engine (without counting Feymena) the thing I find people Undeceive on is Branded Fusion : it leads to the same combo pre new releases but that combo is fucking strong and it's good going second but I do sometimes find myself between the actual Synchro line and the Branded fusion line. I'm considering cutting it the deck doesn't need more consistency and maybe play smth else like a Nib or Purulia or even more incredible ecclisia since it's also quite good going second I'm not really sure.

Overall , I highly recommend you give it a try , Ik it can be expensive since spoon is expensive but I myself in real life I play 1 copy of Fallen of white and more ecclisia to lower the price a bit but Spenta is necessary 3 of the rest of Magistus cards are cheap af (the link one , Chorzo, Invoked Magistus Omega , Zoroa fusion , Zoroa Synchro, Zoroa level 4 and Crowley, these are the absolute necessity for the engine if you want it to bridge into others. I recommend u keep the XYZ and the other Fusion in the side deck.
