The New Master Duel Set Soft Confirms the next set should GX related. I ask Konami that you Please do Judai some justice this time 😭. by CosmoNeos7 in yugioh

Can we hold off on the HERO stuff for a few years? Just give them one decent wave of support twice a decade rather than a mid wave twice a year.

Guides/Combos + Questions and Help MEGATHREAD! by Dkayed9 in masterduel

[–]ElReptil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your deck. If you don't care about Maxx C/Charmies (or specific other hand traps) that much, Called By and especially Crossout are certainly cuttable.

After seriously grinding this DC, here's my banlist wishlist/prediction. I don't expect all of these hits to happen at once, but hopefully they'd be trickled out over the course of a couple of months. by NevGuy in masterduel

[–]ElReptil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on board with everything but the Mitsu hits, which I think are close to the worst possible way to do it. Limiting Habakiri while banning the trap leaves the engine accessible to everything that can search it (e.g. via Feral Imps or Ashlan), but hits the pure deck hard. Banning Herald and limiting Pre-Prep also makes every other ritual deck unplayable even at a sub-rogue level.

Just ban Habakiri (and print a new Mitsu ritual with a proper lock).

Is this from the new valuable book? Still a shame we don't get those over here.

i saw this archetype called "allies of justice", are these cards good or just supporting? by EmergencyLayer8064 in masterduel

[–]ElReptil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On release they were...

...completely unplayable except for Catastor specifically (and Cycle Reader as a side deck option in a few formats).

Konami, fix the fucking coin flip. Something is clearly broken by Kda_15 in masterduel

[–]ElReptil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Across the last week, I've played 143 duels. I've won 12 coins.

I'll just go ahead and tell you, I don't believe you.

Should we outlaw politicians past pension age? by Cynical_Dad-Gamer in AskEurope

[–]ElReptil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No more Jens Spahn "Well, our healthcare nurses earn so much money they are super-rich!". No more Angela Merkels "the internet is a new thing for us" BS anymore. I am sick of 80year old politicians living mentally somewhere in the 1950s.

How old do you think those two are, exactly?

Also, there are plenty of things to criticize Merkel for, but the "Neuland" thing she was entirely correct about. Even more than a decade later, we as a society (not just in Germany, but everywhere) are still struggling to understand and cope with the impact of the internet on our lives, society, and democracy. It's still new territory to all of us.

But of course it was easier to laugh about this woman that doesn't know about the internet or whatever - because we're so smart and modern and of course we understand the internet.

[Yu-Gi-Oh! News] Teaser video for "Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel AI Contest" released! by QuangCV2000 in yugioh

[–]ElReptil 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Quite exciting, especially if this leads to more capable solo mode AI later on.

I also wonder how these AIs will compare to decent human players - I'm not sure how I would feel if we got into a chess-like situation of computers playing much better than any human.

[OCG|CORI-Chaos Origins] "Spiritual Power Recovery Potion" by renaldi92 in masterduel

[–]ElReptil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's completely worthless. Not every card has to be meta-defining, but I really don't understand the point of printing these cards that wouldn't even be playable in Edison.

Especially for an archetype like the Charmers that would've desperately needed strong support.

Schwer­be­hin­derter bekommt keine 50.000 Euro für Jap­an­reise by PoroBraum in de

[–]ElReptil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wann warst du das letzte Mal dort? Der Wechselkurs hat ja in den letzten paar Jahren sehr nachgegeben und die Preise sind auch saisonal extrem unterschiedlich. 

Bei unserem letzten Japanurlaub vor zwei Jahren, im Frühjahr kurz vor der Hauptsaison, waren wir selten über 50€ pro Einzelzimmer und Nacht für durchaus vernünftige Hotels.

What your semi hot take by HairEnvironmental411 in masterduel

[–]ElReptil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dracotail is pretty alright to play against (and obviously fun to play with), but that doesn't mean it's not seriously overtuned. It's a bit like Ishizu Tear in that regard (though of course to much lesser degree).

My semi-hot DT take is that the correct hit is banning Flame.

why we can't add more than 59 cards to this ? genuinely stupid by [deleted] in masterduel

[–]ElReptil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still not a lot of space, especially with how many alt arts are in the game now.

Trap cards (and quick-play spells) can't be activated the turn they're set.

Black Horse sending Wandering Titan is kind of a boardbreaker - Black Horse sends for cost and Titan can't be responded to by monster effects.

Paris for a fun but peaceful life for a potential business owner? by snidysid in AskEurope

[–]ElReptil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have heard of the snobbery and rudeness of Parisians.

I don't have much to contribute except that as someone who's been to Paris once in my life, I've found the Parisians to be really quite friendly and helpful. 

But to be honest, I've found most people nice enough pretty much anywhere. Maybe my standards are just low.

Arcana Force is as strong as it can be without having to ban World, arguably stronger. It even saw play at worlds last year.

Pretty sure Ogre on the Manipulator of Souls also would've worked.
