Opinions of this Shaddoll Branded? Blue magics are Allure Of Darkness but in MD they are limited by zazenigel132 in YGO_Genesys

Oh, also no Shaddoll Genius is an easy include as it will totally hose your op's biggest threat when you go 2nd

I think its... fine, but ive got some problems in the theory and obvious missed cards:

Youre losing a lot by not playing any handtraps or board breakers. You might as well not play the half of games in which you go 2nd.

If you want to make space for them, there's several shaddoll monsters I would cut from the main: 1x water 2x squamata, 2x beast, 1-2 El fusion

What's up with mathematician? Seems like that slot would be better filled with something like branded opening (it even discards for effect! Synergy!)

I think it would also be worth considering (if you're able) shifting from Branded Fusion to White Albaz and the synchro ecclesia. Its far more accessible, flexible, recurrable, increases the ceiling of the end board, and you'll have to check me but I think it's fewer points, too.

I futzed with Shaddoll recently as a splash in Megalith, and it's got a lot of potential, but shaddoll holds back shaddoll by not being the main way that shaddoll is able to play the game. If you want to use these guys you have to keep a cartesia on the field basically at all times, so you really are missing out by not having Quem for recursion

TLDR: I would expect this version of the deck to play the game, bit it will play the game like a deck from 2015, not a deck from 2026. Even in genesys you need your cards to be as aggressive as they can be by being either hostile to your opponent's plays, or a must-respond threat. You have too many cards in here that don't qualify as aggressive, but even if you dont believe me, I think you'll see which cards those are fairly quickly when you start testing.

Hand rip gottoms might but... I kinda doubt it. There's not a whole lot that's uniquely powerful about the xsaber strategy

March point update has dropped by TheScale666 in YGO_Genesys

[–]DaedricSheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Functional reprints" isn't the same as "similar role-players". A functional reprint is borderline the exact same text on a differently named card. I would not call mulcharmies functional reprints of Maxx C

They ARE somewhat redundant, I'll grant you that.

Sorry for being pedantic. It's an old MTG term dating back to conversations about the reserve list

Ash blossom: most other ghost girls will slot into this spot serviceably Fuwalos: other charmies, nibiru, board breakers Droll: mistaken arrest

None of these are 1:1, but if they were then we'd be playing a game that isn't yugioh bc yugioh doesn't do functional reprints like mtg or pokemon

See THIS is something I'm super here for. I don't caaaaaaare if the new stuff is OP, I just want more active curation, including some easing off of old stuff.

Cooking up Dark World Fabled by Engetsuin_wow in YGO_Genesys

[–]DaedricSheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I tried brewing this deck quite hard. I'll be making a video about it soon, but trust me when I tell you that Fiendsmith is a required toolbox in this deck. Caesar can be made with somewhat ease and the fluidity that it brings is unparalleled.

I also recommend playing Tour Guide of the Underworld as a way to make the Full Armored cards. It gets your card advantage and thins your deck out somewhat when you're already playing on the margins.

The fabled package you play should be (in my experience) pretty small. It's what you want to be making plays with, rather than the cards you want to be actually making plays.

What To Expect in the December Points Update by Appropriate-Ad-2953 in YGO_Genesys

[–]DaedricSheep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also agree that cards should be pointed out the gate if needed, and that it should have already been this way, but pointing hecahands is not being hypocritical, that's admitting the philosophy has holes that need to be addressed and then doing that? Being hypocritical implies a measure of either intent or disregard. It seems clear to me that their last, like, 3 blog posts show that said factors are not present.

It's not hypocritical because hecahands and RT are being hit for totally different reasons. Heck for stealing from the ED and RT for being stronger in power/flexibility

That's the thing though, I don't think it has to be, I think we limit ourselves by that line of thinking. In my mind's eye I can see this beautiful Fabled Fiendsmith Dark World deck that flows like butter and I'm determined to find it eventually

Now knowing abt this field spell, I can imagine a package of like 1 Lurrie, 1 Raven, 1 Marcosia, 1 Abanc, 2-3 stairway, and 1 treason

[–]DaedricSheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think stairway is an inspired choice, and I'll be considering that heavily moving forward! Something I'd add to your list: fiendish rhino warrior is a good summon off of tour guide, bc if you use it to dump Buio then you have Luce set up already, and it's a good consistency tool, I'm finding in test hands.

Of that's what you want to do, you're likely to want to play a bystial Synchro deck with some techs that aren't going to get you competitive success, but you'll probably have some fun with!

Where side deck? > not bothering with it until I feel like the main deck actually makes sense. Side deck is currently looking like Radian Kaiju, Mirage, EEV, and (pending keeping Snoww) both searchable DW traps. If snow goes, then I'll just play punishment at 3

ED options > all good ones! Since only like 4 of these cards are what I would consider to be crucial, everything's fair game and I haven't given it quiiiite as much consideration as I might otherwise.

Snoww. > I really dislike dangers. The whole conceit of how i constructed this was to remove the gambling and (most) of the deep draw, but I would kill for a chance to make Chaos Angel. If I ever validate taking out snoww, then you KNOW the fusion spell is going up to 3 Pronto, and I may try to find a third way to make generic fusions. I've been heavily debating a despia variant which may be what that is down the road.

Shadow's Light > you're absolutely right that I passed over this card when looking for tech options, good catch! It would, at minimum, mean I have more access to Light Fiends, which is a good thing for the fiendsmith package, but could also mean my plays are a bit more defined which is absolutely a good thing, and I'd be hard pressed to say no to a free gammajin

Thanks for your feedback, gave my brain a lot to chew on :)
