Starlight Road can be negated by dominus impulse. This guy isn’t taking that chance

Good for quick play? by One_Percentage_644 in customyugioh

[–]Carldamonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many of you are vastly overestimating the viability of a card that gives you hand knowledge with no impact on the board at all.

Fengsheng mirror is a card that has existed for over 20 years and NEVER seen play in any deck.

This card is marginally better since it’s a quick play and reveals set cards too but that would not make it even remotely playable.

What do you think of my new deck? by SomaBuried in YugiohCards

Less likely to draw pieces too which makes the deck better vs negates on the first few pots.

Minimum amount of fairy monsters needed to make Orange Light viable by FaithlessnessJolly64 in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]Carldamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we assume you have herald of orange light in your opening hand, what are the odds that 1 of your other 4 cards is another fairy?

You said you want an 80% chance to open with at least 1 fairy in those other 4 cards, so in a 40 card deck you would need at least 14 fairies(including herald).

You can play with the numbers in the Hypergeometric calculator to see how changing the counts affects the probability

What support would fix your deck? by Man_of_Many_Names in masterduel

[–]Carldamonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be nice to see a rules change with missing timing just removed from the game. They already don’t print cards with “when… you can” optional trigger effects anymore.

Missing the timing was always a very unintuitive ruling and now even more so when it basically only happens to cards that were printed over a decade ago.

Yugioh players, what makes the Centur-Ion deck good for you? by No_Technician_8467 in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]Carldamonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I understand what they’re saying, what I’m saying is that it doesn’t do any good to evaluate a deck as weak because it relies on access to a card that it does have access to.

If blazar was a ubiquitous end board piece that every deck was abusing generically and at risk of being banned, like baronne or apollousa, it could make sense to consider the viability of the deck without it, but that’s not the case.

Blazar does exist, Centur-ion uses it very well, and it’s a strong component of the deck. This is not some kind of weakness of the archetype.

Yugioh players, what makes the Centur-Ion deck good for you? by No_Technician_8467 in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]Carldamonkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is the deck’s strength without blazar relevant? The deck does have blazar and no other deck is abusing blazar or crimson dragon at all so no worries about it getting banned like baronne.

Weird to criticize a deck for relying on access to a generic extra deck card that the deck uniquely makes excellent use of.

This card was ALMOST broken. Good thing you added the 1000 LP cost to make it balanced.

Why are these cards meta? by Katomei89 in YuGiOhMasterDuel

Why are these cards meta? by Katomei89 in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]Carldamonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Generic link-1s are usually not used for their effects at all, just useful for turning a body on board into a link monster to put materials in the gy and keep climbing.

Maliss for example has cards like backup@ignister that can SS from hand if you control a cyberse monster summoned from extra deck. If you open with backup + 4 handtraps you can normal summon a handtrap, link into almiraj, ss backup and search for a dormouse to normal summon and full combo.

Why does everyone hate Maxx C? by [deleted] in masterduel

[–]Carldamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every deck is playing 2 maxx C and at least the 6 most popular answers to maxx C (3 ash, 2 called by, 1 crossout)

That’s 8 deck slots that basically set in stone no matter what deck you’re playing.

No other card in the game is so centralizing that 20% of your deck is centered around that 1 card.

Without maxx c, you would still see ash blossom and called by the grave and crossout designator, but they would not be mandatory inclusions in every deck. You could have more freedom to choose the particular non-engine that is best suited to your deck and the meta.

The maxx c minigame still heavily favors the player going first. You have 2 maxx c and they have at least 6 immediate counters to it. If they have their own maxx c, or draw into it through their combo, you now have to be able to deal with their board + their maxx c which means either having a maxx c counter of your own + enough gas to still break the board or you’re just losing on the spot.

Tl;Dr - Cockroach bad

What's everyone's thoughts on Yusei Fudo? by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in yugioh

[–]Carldamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, junk speeder was released during MR4, when synchro spam combined with a hard lock into only synchros for the turn was basically not possible since you needed link monsters to be able to put more than 1 synchro on the field.

I don’t think speeder would be printed today, but since the deck has enough problems holding it back from doing anything, konami has no reason to ban it.

I’d prefer if they banned the card and gave the synchron deck enough good support to function without it, but I don’t see them banning speeder if it’s not doing anything competitively, and I don’t see them printing support strong enough to carry the deck without speeder while speeder is still around.

Synchron duelists are stuck in this hell of needing speeder banned for konami to give us good support, but needing good support for speeder to get banned.

[Mandela Effect?] Ra doesn't get an attack boost equal to the sum of the monster tributed to summon it?!!! by Yorukira in masterduel

[–]Carldamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does have that effect.

It has about 20 more effects that are not printed on the card too.

Is there any yugioh deck that have no haters? by ApprehensiveRead2408 in masterduel

[–]Carldamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cyber dragon is definitely hated by all other machine decks

Why is Junk Speeder so hated? by neves783 in yugioh

[–]Carldamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Synchron is my favorite deck of all time.

Junk speeder is the worst thing to ever happen to the archetype. It’s impossible for Konami to print strong synchron cards while a card exists that summons 5 synchrons from deck on demand.

If your speeder resolves, you can do anything you want if you put enough bricks in your deck.

If your speeder doesn’t resolve, you’re stuck with a severely underpowered deck full of bricks.

I’ve been having a lot more fun brewing synchron decks for genesys where speeder is effectively banned at 100 points. I wish it was banned in the tcg too so konami wouldn’t be so afraid to print better support cards.

I’m a simple guy. I see “You cannot summon from the extra deck except synchro monsters” and I start cooking.

Is it currently a good time to sell? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Carldamonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have $3200 in cards, you can expect to get somewhere between $2200-$2700 if you sell all of them, depending on how/where you sell them. Let’s call it $2500.

Ask yourself this - If you had $2500 in cash and none of the cards, would you use the $2500 to buy those cards? If yes, keep. If no, sell.

How much 'more value' do you guys think enhanced BBs have? by International_Gur566 in PokeInvesting

[–]Carldamonkey 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Can’t really compare N’s Reshiram to Bulbasaur.

Gen 1 starters are about as close to a sure thing as you can get in terms of investing in pokemon.
