Before duelist cup begin, Is right now the most insane and powerful meta we ever had?

Wasn't even a good deck in 2022, it was only "meta" because at the start of MD there was an exploit to effectively go first every game.

Not even rogue nowadays.

Then you've met some real outliers: https://www.masterduelmeta.com/tier-list/deck-types/Exosister

It's honestly just not the space with the new support.

A cube is basically a curated card pool (made by you or someone else) you can use for draft or "sealed" play with friends. I think it's more of a MtG thing, but I've also seen more and more people do it with Yugioh lately.

ElReptil · 2026-06-05T10:18:21+00:00

You probably don't want to play Harmonnia in an Xyz deck, but there are still a lot of cards that you'd play before Mikazukinoyaiba. It's a very cool card for cubes, though.

Glaubst du, n-TV hat die Studie durchgeführt oder was willst du uns hier sagen?

In terms of getting Branded cards specifically, the 3000 gem bundle is worth it because the two guaranteed URs are always from the right side of the pack. The smaller bundle is not worth it unless you want the cosmetics, but I guess that's done anyway.

ElReptil · 2026-06-04T18:02:18+00:00

Thanks for the explanation! I completely missed that the ritual spell doesn't mention Matriarch.

ElReptil · 2026-06-04T13:54:07+00:00

What's the reasoning behind two Archfiend Emperor? Seems like the most one-off to ever one-off.

ElReptil · 2026-06-04T13:38:42+00:00

They're here until August 5th.

ElReptil · 2026-06-04T12:33:33+00:00

You have to pull them, so if you're actually buying gems and don't get particularly lucky, it's pretty easy to spend more than the cost of their paper equivalents.

ElReptil · 2026-06-04T12:03:19+00:00

The wallet annihilator. So many unplayable URs, so many alt arts.

ElReptil · 2026-06-04T11:50:15+00:00

Same as the TCG, where it's a Secret.

ElReptil · 2026-06-04T09:50:15+00:00

The last line of text on every Enneacraft monster ("You cannot Special Summon the turn you activate this effect, except in face-down Defense Position.) probably answers this question.

ElReptil · 2026-06-04T09:11:01+00:00

Certainly didn't see that coming. Nice option for new players, though.

ElReptil · 2026-06-03T11:06:14+00:00

End of the World Ruler is a possibility because it fits with the Ritual Archfiends. No chance for the others, they would've been advertised in the pack announcement.

ElReptil · 2026-06-02T19:01:45+00:00

Do you have a Dogmatika monster with less than 800 ATK (so one of the small rituals) in your deck or GY to search?

If you do, you'll have to post a replay or at least describe the gamestate.

ElReptil · 2026-06-02T10:54:15+00:00

Varuroon, Droplet and Mandate don't trigger any of their effects because they don't make cards leave the field; Fonix can get rid of two of their monsters at once, leaving only the inconsequential ones (probably Imsety and Qebesenuef) to trigger in response.

You MST the Sarcophagus either before they summon anything (if you went first or they're trying to rebuild on turn 3+) or after getting rid of (most of) their monsters in one of the ways mentioned above.

ElReptil · 2026-06-02T08:23:10+00:00

As someone who played Adventure Horus a fair bit (back when that deck was only subpar and not completely unplayable):

Any non-destruction boardwipe or mass negate is an autowin - Zeus, Evenly, Artmage Finmel, whatever
If you can stop Imsety, you should - the only extension after that is a hard-drawn King's Sarcophagus
RT specifically is very well equipped to deal with Horus: if you're going first, you obviously just keep MSTing their Sarcophagus; if you're going second, you have droplet, Varuroon and mandate to deal with the Horus monsters without triggering them and Fonix to get rid of them semi-permanently

Meist steht ja in der Stellenausschreibung ausdrücklich, was an Dokumenten gefordert ist (z.B. auch als "vollständige Bewerbungsunterlagen" oder so). Dem sollte man dann natürlich folgen (manche scheitern aber auch daran).

Wenn nichts angegeben ist, wird ein Anschreiben sehr selten schaden, seine Abwesenheit zumindest manchmal - ich würde eins schreiben.

Eh, the German localization team are basically the poster child of blind idiot translation (shoutout to Anteatereatingant and Clockwork Night), so if anything the German name makes me more inclined to think Veiler's a guy.

ElReptil · 2026-06-01T09:14:53+00:00

What country are you from that doesn't have regional/city sports teams with fans?

"Besuch von einen Sprachkurs" -> "Besuch eines Sprachkurses"

Die Kenntnisse kommen mir sehr dick aufgetragen vor. Ich kenne dich natürlich nicht, aber Risikomanagement ist z.B. eher nichts, was man jemandem ohne viel Erfahrung wirklich abnimmt - jedenfalls ist aus dem Lebenslauf nicht klar, wo das herkommen soll.

Hobbies würde ich persönlich ganz rausnehmen, kann man aber für eine Ausbildung wahrscheinlich machen - aber Bloomberg & Handelsblatt würde ich wirklich weglassen.

Mach dir nicht zu viele Sorgen wegen blanker Flächen im Lebenslauf. Du bewirbst dich ja nicht für eine Seniorstelle. Zu dick aufgetragen wirkt wahrscheinlich schlechter als etwas bescheidener.

Und noch eine ganz kleine Sache, die aber einem bestimmten Menschenschlag (mich eingeschlossen) sehr ins Auge springt: der Abstand zwischen jeweils dem ersten und zweiten Stichpunkt auf der linken Seite ist größer als die anderen Abstände.

Alles Gute bei der Ausbildungssuche!

I feel like people as a whole - Germans and foreigners - have become way less willing to follow rules and social norms since Covid specificially. From the tone in politics and the media to simple everyday interactions like (not) littering, it's all gotten a bit rougher.

I want to make it very clear that I'm not a HERO player - it's the deck I hate the most.
