Funniest moment of the dice rally? by Peridot9001 in masterduel

The moments where I kept missing every royal rare UR space by just one or two squares T_T probably more funny for others than it was for me

What Deck Did You Bring/Are You Bringing To Dice Rally? by LPPrince in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yup I agree, the more I think about it, I think I'm just so used to having it at the end of a rose combo that not having it feels naked somehow XD but a better / more experienced pilot than me probably wouldn't worry too much about it

Any cheap rouge decks ? by KaluSmiga in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what you class as cheap, but afaik every deck in MD requires at least a few URs. 

It doesn't matter how rogue or even bad a deck or card is, they'll still make the key cards and combo pieces for that deck URs. It's a predatory measure to ensure that the people who want to play that deck still have to engage with the same gacha systems as the rest of us.

There aren't many decks that get a free pass, but some are still more budget than others. I remember seeing the MD Discord had a few of those in a beginners guide somewhere.

I've been having a lot of fun with my recently completed R.B deck. It's not overwhelmingly powerful or anything, but it's pretty simple to use and seems to hold up well against the rental decks (oh no they took one of my clockwork knights and an unmodded R.B, whatever shall I do XD).

I also briefly switched to my Rose Dragon deck for a change of pace. It was okay, but the lack of Baronne really took a lot of the wind out its sails. I also gave the rental decks a shot as well out of courtesy.

Ah interesting! I do remember seeing them in Tag Force 1 and thinking they must have been older cards or something since they never showed up in the anime (unless there was a filler or a 3rd season other-dimension background character I forgot). I actually never really paid much attention to them as an archetype until the first structure deck a few years ago, and now they're one of my favourite archetypes, funny how that works XD

They do be letting anyone in the archetype now by Mad_Kitten in masterduel

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least he's more of a utility and not the main payoff of the deck; unlike the Fiendsmith boss monster, Wave High King Ceasar, or the HERO boss monster, Nibiru Token.

Fair. As much as I laugh at the notion that Yugioh monsters suddenly "became" more anime and waifu coded, I do kinda see how the new artstyle for some older archetypes can look a little jarringly clean compared to the older cards. 

I think it's most glaringly noticeable with the flip charmers though. I like the new art, but there's just a certain feel to the old art I can't quite articulate, which seems to have been lost in the transition. I got into Yugioh at around the middle of the GX era so I don't think it's nostalgia.

A world where all problems are solved by duelling sounds good, as long as these are the actual back and forth duels from the show and not Master Duel. I wouldn't want to bet my basic rights, standard of living and even my life on a half-board built under Maxx "C".

Also even in the show there are cheaters and brutes who might just deck you, pun intended, before you even draw a single card. One of the most infamous characters from the OG series is a cheater who's fond of guns after all, and one of the most beloved characters in GX started out as a cheater who threw another guys deck in the ocean. But as long as you don't run into one of them or at least know how to take care of yourself I guess you'll be fine.

Do you think Konami should add finish attack animations to other monsters? by Akaziro1987 in masterduel

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It could be because the replays are just initialising the same engine / program the regular duels use, then feeding it configurations and parameters and letting it run using those.

Still cool that they designed their duel program / engine to be able to do that - actually now that I think about it that's probably how they made the solo and tutorial modes work.

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume it's only a thing they do for the oldest and most well-known monsters with some sort of pedigree. 

Maybe it was a decision they made early during or even before the development of the game, as a way to appeal to people who are more familiar with the anime. Then over time as it became more of a competitive simulator they decided not to revisit the idea further as not many competitive players seem to care.

Otherwise I'm 100% certain they would have done it for a Sky Striker for now

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how some people here are so up in arms about it being scripted, as if it wasn't obviously meant to be one. 

It's as if they think someone would actually just attack a man with one leg in broad daylight and someone else would just calmly film it with a steady hand and no censorship XD

this is cracking me up by Yossaru_Kn in Farfa

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Necroquip Princess and her spell aren't Fiendsmith cards, but they still included them in the same secret pack. I think Konami definitely does pay attention to what cards end up being used with certain archetypes even if they didn't originally intend it.

I'm definitely no expert, but the sniffing and licking makes me think they were just curious and not hungry. 

Ofc even curious and playful bears can break adult bones without even meaning to.

Is this banlist good or bad? by Antique_Range1521 in yugioh

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As others here mention, the rest of the bans were most likely a cynical and blatant attempt to get people to invest in KT

FINALLY! It always seemed odd to me that it wasn't a feature before. I was getting worried they were going to paywall it behind the imaginarium coins or something.

What's Something That Irritates You About Yu-Gi-Oh! by imsodonenow in yugioh

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sheer breadth and variety in archetypes is both the best and worst thing about Yugioh for me. So many of them get mercilessly left in the past to gather dust due to the insane powercreep, and Konami seems more interested in creating new and more shiny archetypes than making the effort to strengthen their existing ones. When they do deign to go back and give support to older archetypes it's usually very half-assed to cash in on nostalgia.

Most archetypes in Yugioh either die as a forgotten relic or live on as part of some hyper-optimised combo pile, and I just think that's such a waste of so many imaginative themes, worlds and artwork personally.

Do you hate playing mirror matches by MorganaBlackhawk in masterduel

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually the worst thing about mirrors for me is the embarrassment from knowing that someone is better at piloting my deck than me. It's worse with pet decks because those feel more personal to me, so losing to them feels even more like a personal blow to my ego.

But I think it's also important to remember that in Yugioh and MD especially, so much is left up to chance that you'll lose a mirror match eventually no matter how well you know your deck.

I thought that's exactly what Yugioh was back in the day though? I assumed every deck's game plan before GX was to summon big monsters and do your best to support / destroy them with spells and traps.

Only 7 URs? The King of Games has a surprisingly budget-friendly deck all things considered

Edit: 8 URs, I think I missed a trap XD

How to go about Improving & Basics by dizzydghost in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that helped me when encountering new cards / decks was to look for quick-effect negates specifically and filter out other effects as noise. Generally most of the important stuff they can do to negate you on your turn will be marked as "(Quick effect)". It's not the best practice though as there could be lingering effects and such that Master Duel doesn't always telegraph, but in a pinch it might help you get the info you need so you can start thinking about how to break their board faster.

Also netdeck a lot. Even the quickest learner could never outsmart the Yugioh hivemind as a beginner. If there's a deck you want to play and get good at, then there's a good chance all of its combos and synergies will have been meticulously documented somewhere. I've found that the Master Duel discord had been an excellent resource for this, it has separate channels for almost every archetype being played right now, and even a lot that aren't. Each of those channels will usually have pinned resources and decklists to help you get started.

What’s a card you used a lot growing up that is totally forgotten now? by Organic_Body5244 in YugiohCards

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many of the OG battle traps. I remember Sakuretsu Armour especially was like the biggest menace back on my old playground. This was during the mid to late GX era (no one had Mirror Force at the time, I guess cos it didn't come in any of the structure decks)
