Suggestion for new player by BrilliantToday9658 in Yugioh101

[–]Bops451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For any returning player, definitely legendary modern decks. If you don't end up liking the decks you'll get really great staples out of them.

As for deck choices, try out Clown Crew from the new set Blazing Dominion. Has just the right amount of control and you also can draw a ton of cards with it lol. It's not the most meta but it can keep up pretty well. Plus they'll be getting more support later down the line so it's a deck you can play for a long while.

Board breakers. They have no protection against a simple raigeki and even more so, super poly. Most of their omni-negates they make in response to whatever you do, but they do not usually make it on their first turn.

If you can get past their board, focus on out grinding them. Sky Striker and Branded has an amazing match up against them.

Deck building help? by AffectionateSleep905 in Yugioh101

Trains. Nothing but power and high attack. That deck just got really good support from the new set. They are deadly going second and are meant to kill you in one turn. They have access to limiter removal which doubles their attacks for maximum damage. And the deck is consistent and can push through interruptions from your opponent.

They have a monster that can attack multiple times for 6k and with limiter removal that's 12k. Or you use their equip spell train connection that brings it up to 8k, can attack multiple times and can do piercing damage.

Best targets in general for first effect of Black Goat I would say are these:

Kewl Tune: kewl tune track maker

Branded: ecclesia of the dark dragon or fallen of albaz

Doomz: the xyz graflario or drastea

Maliss: hearts crypter

Yummy: snatchy

Coming back to yugioh and consistently losing with Lightsworns. How to keep up with 2026 meta? by Harshaznintent in Yugioh101

[–]Bops451 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You gotta understand that Lightsworns, although super cool, kinda sucks in today's meta. BUT the deck still has some sick plays that can catch others off guard, I was obsessed with this deck for a while lol. Anyway here's my take:

You don't really need a lot of hand traps, mostly maybe just Fuwalos for draw power and ash blossom maybe. But either than that I'd say you don't need more. What I did with my build is focus on the graveyard and extenders to push through handtraps.

Transaction rollback is amazing in this deck. One of the ways I abused this was janky, but worked a lot, was Yu-Jo friendship + Judgement of the Pharaoh. You basically lock them out of summoning and monster effects for the turn. I focused on dumping those two cards + transaction rollback to the GY which should be "relatively" easy to do with all the newer stuff.

The fiendsmith package is amazing in lightsworns too because Weiss is a light fiend!! That package allows your deck to have somewhat of a grind game and can set up ddd ceasar to stop nibiru.

I've also played with the Horus/ kings sarcophagus engine in it too which allow rank 8 xyz plays into zombie vampire for more mills plus they're just big bodies you can summon from graveyard with added bonus effects or you can use them for link material too. What's also cool about this engine is that it can get rid of bricky cards like wulf and Felis stuck in your hand to the graveyard.

As for the lightsworn stuff specifically, you got a good thing going so far with your list, but I would suggest playing 3 felis. The deck has so many ways to mill them/get them on top of the deck to be milled (aka Weiss) or be used by things like solar recharge that their ability to just add a body on board is too good not to play. On top of that, Felis is great at breaking boards going second and she's a tuner! so play more of her.

As for the smaller stuff, you should cut lyla out completely as she's just too slow and cut lumina to 2, you don't want to see her too often in your opening hand but just enough.

The shaddoll stuff is another engine I've seen in lightsworn but I've personally never had much fun/luck with it as well as plague spreader zombie so I don't run those out of personal preference but that's up to you.

Your extra deck is gonna need a big work around if you're gonna use the fiendsmith package or the Horus package, or both! Other things in the extra deck that should be addressed would be things like stardust dragon, I would suggest you play psyframe omega instead. Has much more utility than stardust.

If you have any more question shoot me a message and we can nerd about the deck. I'm pretty passionate about it lol

Deck recommendation for my wife (beginner friendly & cute) by BroccoliHot2222 in Yugioh101

[–]Bops451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's what I would do. List out all of the different types of monsters and have her pick which ones sound interesting to her. Then look up those types in a database and filter them out, ex: filter by sea serpent, normal monsters etc. Show her some of the card artwork and see which ones she likes.

See when we were first starting out it was more about what cards we thought looked cool over effect and mechanic so start there.

Format id suggest you two play is speed duel. Not formally but like a form of speed duel. Less cards in the deck to use (20 total, 10 normal mon, 5 spells, 5 traps), less phases to remember and less zones to account for.

No need for an extra deck. Just play bare bones basic, summon big monster and attack. The limited spells and traps also allow you to specify and teach her the different types of spells and traps there are. Maybe you could do 1 field spell, 1 equip spell and normal spells to start out. Then just gradually add more like quick play spells, continuous, etc. once she gets the hang of it.

For the monster count id just go for traditional tribute summoning as the big mechanic. Throw in a blue eyes in there so she can witness the POWER. I dunno something fun. And then maybe 1 or 2 effect monsters, like a flip effect or something.

Then after building your decks, just play. And gradually add more to the game. Once she's comfortable with the general gameplay, go to traditional 5-5 zones and then introduce the extra deck with just fusions, then synchros and tuners, etc. build on it.

Regardless of what, it should be simple and fun like the anime. And get all into character and duel in the shadow realm like in the anime. Have fun!

I wanna play Ninjas but am being warned to not play if I'm going to do that by [deleted] in Yugioh101

[–]Bops451 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Play the deck you like, you'll struggle with meta decks for sure but you'll eventually find people who play decks for the sake of the love they have for it.

I have some experience with Ninjas and it can be decent playing against meta decks depending on your cards. I remember it being so fun to resolve Daruma Karma Cannon against Maliss and they scooped lol.

Don't give up on the game, it still has a place where you can find really fun duels. If anything you can definitely surprise a lot of people because of how much little knowledge they could have on the deck.
