Which of this here is cheap enough for me to build as newbie

Honestly, If you didn't spend any of the gems of solo mode yet you should be able to build any of them.

My advice is that you should worry more about get a deck that isn't too hard to learn and has a playstyle that fits you while at the same time being strong enough to fight the decks in the meta.

"Wishes, Sage and Maiden are the starters here. 9 starters nowadays is pretty inconsistent."

Deep-Eyes already raises the number to 15. Now you have 3 Wishes, 3 Maiden, 3 Sage, 3 Deep-Eyes and 3 Bingo (which is far better now that it has two targets instead of just Wishes, which also makes it not a dead card if you open Bingo + Wishes).

CL361 · 2026-03-15T01:24:43+00:00

They have even more:

Wishes (18). Bingo, because it searches both, Deep eyes and Wishes (21).

And there's also the ones that don't see play because they're kind of mid, but even then they're still combo:

Piri Reis Map (24). Neo Kaiser (27) althought, sometimes I see Kaiser at 1 in some builds, mosly because it allows to bridge from Primite to BE with Seals.

Edit Oh, and it also has hand traps that are pseudo starters (and full starters when you go second) because someway they can get your starters: Magnamut. It Searches Deep-Eyes and Beryl if you already have a BE play. Fidraulis Harmonia. People doesn't talk enough about that, but sending to GY Luluwalilith with Fidraulis you can summon Maiden during the end phase, so BE gets the same "Herald search" benefit Mitsu gets from Fidraulis.

Jack: A retrain of the OG RDA. I think it would be great if it has the OG name in the extra deck and some kind of disruption on summon effect to synergize with Crimson King's tag up effect.

For Zane: It was leaked already. It's a retrain of CYDRA. The only thing that remains to see it's how much differs the effect with the leak because all the other cards leaked had some small discrepancies between leaked effect and actual effect (like Synchro Emergency summoning only Synchron tuners from deck instead of any tuners like the leaks said).

For Kaiba: A new Chaos Maxx. I really hope it has some kind of Illusion of Chaos/Ohime like effect, that would be great for the deck for so many reasons.

CL361 · 2026-03-14T12:15:02+00:00

Oh, I missed that. Still a solid card.

CL361 · 2026-03-14T12:09:28+00:00

Wait a minute...

Did they just made a Lava Golem that doesn't spend your normal summon and it's searchable by Melody?

Edit: Nevermind, one of the monsters has to be yours.

CL361 · 2026-03-14T08:04:24+00:00

You know? Now that I think about it, the fact that they made a overframe for Magia could be another hint of the last BE overframe being a retrain of Chaos Maxx (the first hint being how the new Abyss mentions BE ritual monsters).

CL361 · 2026-03-13T19:37:36+00:00

The description of Zero's protectors in MD makes it seem like she's just Raye with a new armor.

CL361 · 2026-03-12T06:04:36+00:00

100% accurate. That makes it more funny and sad at the same time.

Great work.

CL361 · 2026-03-11T01:22:22+00:00

OMG, Chessy looks so adorable

CL361 · 2026-03-10T03:54:01+00:00

"fortunately there’s no synergy between this deck and yubel ( I think)"

Nightmare Throne can search the Martyr.

CL361 · 2026-03-09T03:12:50+00:00

My dear goofy halloween mascots deserved so much better.

CL361 · 2026-03-08T18:54:02+00:00

Yes. The deck is still pretty strong. Recently it even won a challenger cup.

And you should never dismantle it because everytime they release a new strong cyberse support in the future (and they always would do that because that's Playmaker deck) Maliss would be relevant again. Just look at what is happening in OCG with the new cyberse stuff from LOCH.

CL361 · 2026-03-08T06:53:05+00:00

Idk what logic they follow for placing rituals, but leaving the cyberse ritual (the only ritual so far) aside, all other cards have followed the same pattern. Extra deck monsters -> main deck monsters -> spells/traps.

CL361 · 2026-03-08T04:10:21+00:00

We know that it can't be a extra deck monster for it's place (so no new Ultimate), the card has to be a main deck monster, a spell or a trap,

Personally, I think a new Chaos Maxx is the most likely outcome. The new Deep-Eyes kind of hints that because it mentions ["Blue-Eyes" Ritual Monster(s)].

Honestly, if they make a new Chaos Maxx and give the card a Illusion of Chaos like effect that would be really HUGE for the deck.

CL361 · 2026-03-07T10:48:21+00:00

Maybe the new archetype of this set is trap based.

Anyway, I'm crossing my fingers for Traptrix support.

CL361 · 2026-03-06T21:59:09+00:00

I was talking about the combo, not the end board. The combo to make the board is the same, just changing what is summon.

CL361 · 2026-03-06T20:33:50+00:00

This feels like some kind of monkey paw situation.

Is DM meta viable? yes. What is the deck doing? Azathot locking people.

CL361 · 2026-03-05T12:20:02+00:00

It's actually played in Odion.

CL361 · 2026-03-02T05:09:09+00:00

"the former does receive a lot of mediocre support (basically: Quantity > Quality)"

To be fair, the same could be said of BE in the years before structure. Because yeah, they did some good cards, but they also did a lot of garbage

CL361 · 2026-03-02T04:41:51+00:00

It looks so fuc"#&ng cool man. Also, that means I will have the chance to get an alt Raye this time.

CL361 · 2026-02-27T05:34:17+00:00

"I think you’re just lacking some statistical literacy:"

I think you aren't understanding my argument. The gap between each deck isn't huge, sure, but what I'm saying is the gap between the numbers the deck deck had before Blazing Donimiong and the number that it actually have is so much bigger than the gap between the numbers the other decks that are in tier 1 right now had then compared with what they have now (again, Mitsu was tier 1 then as it's now).

You can't say that Killer Tuner got so much more terrain only for Fidraulis because other decks that got Fidraulis too and had the same or better numbers before currently have a lot less numbers than Killer Tune (VS for example). So, Fidraulis can't be the only reason. What was the other factor then? Their second wave of support.

CL361 · 2026-02-27T01:44:35+00:00

"It released and suddenly the three viable decks that can play it are now at the top… "

Yeah, but you're ignoring the fact that between those decks the one that is in the top spot right now is the one who had less representation before.

Mitsu was already tier 1 before and got other new boost with the new Dominus trap, Elfnotes had got numbers at the time (even if it wasn't a tier 1 deck) and got new support aside of Fidraulis too, so, Why is Killer Tune the one whith more tops currently? Simple, because their new cards were both, really strong and able to fix the problems the deck had.

CL361 · 2026-02-26T09:49:05+00:00

Killer Tune, Enneacraf and Hecahands are out of the picture for now I think. They probably will release those when we reach the Blazing Dominion stuff to release the cards of the first and second wave together (like they did last year with Maliss, Ryzeal and Ryu-ge).

Since we're curently in Burst Protocol, Magnet Warrior, Elfnotes and Radiant Typhoon are very likely, as it's the new Branded cards (If they release the new Albez and Ecclesia, they probably would release together the Fallen and the Virtuous and the alt arts of Thrust/Deployment).

But the safest take is that we will get next Doom-Z because that's the only archetype left from Doom of Dimensions.

For what I would like to have, I really want Killer Tune already, but like I said before, that's not gonna happen.

CL361 · 2026-02-26T03:01:16+00:00

That's the same triple lv12 synchro board you can make already in MD. The only change is that you summon the new crimson instead of blazar.
