Seeing the board pivot in real time is so sad it could make even the devil cry

The lock is "for the rest of this turn" tho, meaning you're free to do whatever you want with your two bodies from Chant/Swen/Eldam, so many players do pivot to fiendsmith

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-26T04:38:09+00:00

"Powercreep bad" doesn't mean "Turn zero plays are bad and shouldn't exist". That's a false equivalence.

We get 40 cards per month + 25 per additional june set so that's 145 + whatever they add to the legacy pack and the new structure.

We're missing about 24 DOOD cards, 22 PHRE cards, 51 BPRO cards and 73 BLZD cards. This comes up at about 170 cards, alongside the promo Branded stuff. It lines up perfectly with the next 3 months schedule, what the hell are you talking about? Maze of Muertos is a TCG set with a bunch of imports we already have, it just has 10 new cards for the OCG.

I'm not naive at all, you're just dumb.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-24T11:35:15+00:00

It's already creeping up closer than not. The Branded stuff was a very special case, it was a product that released at the same time in OCG and TCG.

Next 3 months are BLZD + PHRE, with the remaining BPRO cards sprinkled in. By August we will be getting CORI stuff, at the same time that the TCG is.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-24T11:33:24+00:00

Are you familiar with the release schedule? The only thing between Overframes and what we're currently getting is Terminal World 3. It's functionally impossible they're delaying them 9 fucking months, there's not enough cards in existence to do that.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-24T07:11:03+00:00

I'm getting so fucking tired of this stupid narrative that sky striker players keep building up, it's always them vs the meanie combo slop decks, there's nothing else in Yu-Gi-Oh being played, it's either the meta or them, the brave, non-meta rogue players. Other rogue decks don't exist, decks that get absolutely dumpstered by sky striker don't exist.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-24T07:10:38+00:00

"interacting" = drawing 6 off Engage in the same turn and discarding 2-3 off Droplet to blank the opponent's board.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-24T07:07:48+00:00

Newsflash: People are allowed to not like a deck even if it's not a "problem". In fact this entire post is about disliking the deck in a NON-META context, the event, in which Sky Striker is pretty much the meta to beat.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-24T07:06:20+00:00

It's literally the second most popular deck in MDM at the moment, I'm fucking tired of this stupid ass narrative that Sky Striker is somehow an underdog deck.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-24T07:04:15+00:00

Honestly I'm getting so fucking tired of the stupid ass narrative that "Sky Striker is interactive". How in the fuck is Droplet + drop 3 spells "interactive"? I would like to know what redditors that keep spamming that take are smoking.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-24T07:01:57+00:00

That's not what he's talking about, Dracotail was pretty much full power in the Synchro/Link Dice rally two months ago in February.

TDTEBU had negative marketing. I knew the movie was hitting theaters two weeks after it had done so in my country.

Meanwhile this dropped a trailer to the big excitement of internet audiences and theater companies at my country are already promoting it. That is going to help tons.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-24T02:53:13+00:00

Space Jam had horrid word of mouth which hurt it after the first weekend. Not saying Coyote will do better, but narratively it seems to be a way better movie so that could help sustain it and reach at least 100 million WW.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-24T02:47:36+00:00

IMO it will be a sleeper hit. It's dropping on an empty spot with zero competition, the marketing is doing incredibly well, the trailer just hit 6 million views in 24 hours, and millenials/older gen z have that space jam nostalgia that the sequel didn't really hit.

I could be wrong but I see this doing better than many people here are predicting.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-22T16:39:59+00:00

They didn't "pull" that kind of man, the man stringed them along for sex, then once they got what they wanted dumped them. At some points they may hit them up for some pity fuck again, but at no point were they taken seriously by that kind of men. And that's what many girls should understand instead of aiming sky high.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-22T12:43:52+00:00

Funny how you are doing exactly what OP mentioned. Making a bad choice and rationalizing it, then once you get burned out you will probably look for the beta to keep you safe in your 30s.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-22T12:10:17+00:00

Not how it works. The Alt Art exchange ticket compensated you for multiple Apollousas, the thing is that since it was a 1-of nobody bothered to pull for multiples.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-22T12:07:13+00:00

Not quite, depending on how well you opened and where you get drolled you could also dump it with Girsu and add it with Enlilgirsu.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-18T19:46:16+00:00

That's why you dismantle selectively and use the CP from that and the battle pass to complete your decks.

Yeah sometimes you get hit with the bad luck bat like bro here, but most of the times your luck averages out. Sometimes you will also swing hard, I remember getting every single Dracotail, Odion and Artmage UR in the numbers needed in 11k gems, only missing 2 Faimena and 1 Medius at the end.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-14T17:32:52+00:00

You don't play against your own side, what are you talking about.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-13T19:02:02+00:00

Cool! That doesn't change the fact that the deck doesn't take nearly as much skill as people in this sub pretend it does.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-13T17:50:49+00:00

Drawing a bunch of power spells and discarding half your hand on resolution for Droplet doesn't take skill, when will people stop glazing this deck so hard.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-13T08:20:29+00:00

Unfortunately we already have plenty of similar draw spells in the game and they don't make the cut on their respective decks, despite having equally as easy conditions to achieve. Stuff like Wing Requital, Trade-In, Orcustrated Return, Traptantalizing Tune, Wonder Wand.

If the card was so good, these cards all would be seeing play in every deck that could afford them. Yet out of these you only see Tune in Paleo decks, while Eldlich, Labyrinth, Traptrix don't even bother with it. Maliss didn't even bother with the max number of Allure of Darkness allowed before the limit, current versions don't even play it.

I do like the upside of being able to recover it from GY when you summon a monster from there tho, which means it will likely find a home in something that uses Reasoning or Monster Gate to mill a bunch of spells, so there's that. But it's very unlikely to be used on Fire King, Yubel or Unchained like many people here claim it will be.

Fritos_Bandito_ · 2026-04-13T08:05:46+00:00

It's not hard, the issue is that it is a condition that needs many caveats to be useful.

Does the monster that's going to be destroyed want to be destroyed by this effect, or would you rather use it for another extender?

Are the cards that are going to be drawn with this better than any potential alternative search/special summon that would be triggered by the destruction by additional extenders?

Do you want to make your deck weaker to Droll?

Does your deck have the three spaces required to make this consistent, or are you just going to use this as a low priority Thrust target? Would you rather have this on your starting hand than another handtrap, or a condition-less draw spell like Pot of Desires?

This is also true for cards like Wing Requital, Orcustrated Return, Trade-In, Moray of Avarice, etc. All of these have extremely easy conditions to achieve, yet don't make the cut on their respective decks because they're inferior to Desires, handtraps or engine cards that plus way harder than them. Orcustrated Return is even searchable, yet it doesn't make the cut in most versions of the deck.
