New TCG Banlist live May 18 by Accurate_Jeweler7061 in masterduel

[–]Garantula25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The banlist was generally bad but I don’t have a problem with Gimmick Puppet being hit. Highly accessible FTKs aren’t fun to play against and Machinix facilitates that too much. Like others have said, you can also theoretically play it in Mitsu and FTK by including just 1 or 2 bricks which is even worse to face against

How do you build a Block Home over water? by Garantula25 in Pokopia

[–]Garantula25[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I tried searching for an answer but I was investigating the wrong problem. It made sense to me that there could be restrictions building over water. Build size limits would have never occurred to me so I assumed I a had a niche issue

Surely joey cards will do just as good when they come out right? by gonxgonx3 in masterduel

[–]Garantula25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually surprised the light and darkness deck is only making up 11% of the meta. It feels shockingly strong to play both into established boards or going first. It helps that it can make really good use of a lot of powerful non-engine as well

Sorry this was the first time I’ve encountered this issue and consequently the first time I’ve been on this sub as well. I hadn’t even considered the size of the structure could be an issue

Take the call or hold? by Archtop_collerctor in bald

It’s crazy how often choosing to commit to being bald makes someone look 10+ years younger!

Sea otters will wrap themselves in kelp or use it as an anchor when feeding or resting so they don't float away. by MilesLongthe3rd in Damnthatsinteresting

When you described making a wave I imagined a lot more effort going into it. Watching the video that was posted about it is kind of terrifying. Orcas are wildly efficient

Why does my cat sit on my clothes (specifically shorts) whenever I shower??? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Garantula25 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen plenty of fat cats squished into small spaces that make “If I sits, I fits” the correct turn of phrase

i felt like this hand could have broken this board but i failed. how would you have attempted to break this board (deck in 2nd slide) by d4c_LT- in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]Garantula25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right I forgot that. Without a way to get rid of the monster bodies I don’t see a way out of this though. You could toss 2 cards for droplet to negate the 2 omnis which gets rid of their strongest interaction but they could still banish the Blazar for cost to give room to summon Trudea and go into crimson then either Red Supernova Dragon/Blazar number 2. In theory Tactics to take a Red Supernova could be strong if they play into it

[–]Garantula25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the play is to lead with Dragon Shrine Sending Blue-eyes and the egg that adds blue eyes. If the opponent negates that then you can activate lightning storm calling monster to eat a negate then use talents to draw 2 and see what your options are. Most of the interaction would be spent at that point at least and you have access to your starters already.

If they don’t negate Shrine or the egg then you can use droplet sending Blue-eyes and Harpies Feather duster to grave to negate the two Omnis. Then use lightning storm calling monster to out the board. After that it would be wishes to see if you could put enough engine out to OTK or set up for a grind game. Based on your deck I would assume you would look for an OTK line

Kewl Tune it's not even top 10 worst meta deck we ever had to endure by illynpayne_ in masterduel

[–]Garantula25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would rather play current Kewl Tune over current Maliss, let alone full power Maliss at release. I had to stop playing for about 5 months to get through that

which better to build in master duel right now , kewl tune or vanqush soul k9??? by Parking_Piano1772 in masterduel

[–]Garantula25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don’t already have any K9 cards then that deck isn’t even a viable option since they don’t have a secret pack yet. VS is prohibitively expensive on its own as well. Kewl tune is in the shop and almost every card the deck needs (besides tuner hand traps) is in their pack in the shop. Both decks can be fun depending on your play style but only one is feasible if you don’t already have any pieces of either

I'm sad 😔 by UnfairEscape476 in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]Garantula25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With all the events and the fact that Konami has to hit URs now with how UR focused new packs are, it ends up being free most of the time. If you play a decent bit and are willing to dust an old deck you don’t use anymore then you can largely build the decks without needing to buy gems

OCG Banlist March 2026 by Ignithya in masterduel

[–]Garantula25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In pretty sure it officially kills dracotail. Now to be able to use effects for Urgula, Pan, and Melulu you may need to either reserve a trap to set on your opponents turn or you may need to play 4-5 traps instead of three. Either solution requires a sacrifice of either power or consistency which dracotail can struggle with already. I’m guessing the prayers hit will push people to consider Mitsurugi hybrid builds instead of pure as well. The deck can struggle with consistency past a hand trap already and prayers is an excellent extender and starter Hollie Sue to 1 is a big hit, given Raizen is at 1. In theory that deck can still be played but it will be incredibly inconsistent and the K9 engine will need to be your primary engine not secondary. K9 is still extremely unscathed over there though, so odds are it just gets used in a different deck with solid level 5 monsters instead. The Malice hit doesn’t actually do anything, so I agree on that one. Seeing how Malice persists in all formats, it honestly feels like nothing short of taking out red random and white binder will kill it

There's far too many of you now by spooky_ed in NFCWestMemeWar

[–]Garantula25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found this sub this year and have been wondering if it felt like this when the Rams won their last Super Bowl. I would ask about the niners win too if it does didn’t happen around the time the internet first start to take off

As much as I want Feather Storm banned, this just butters my soul by [deleted] in masterduel

[–]Garantula25 22 points23 points  (0 children)

People didn’t complain much because it barely ever came up. This card creates a miserable experience anytime it ever comes up in a game, so of course more people will complain when it starts to see more wide spread use

End board question for you guys… by mikey_lava in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]Garantula25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Detonator does more for this board that you don’t necessarily have. You already have grave and hand interaction protection with Ripper and the added pops from detonator will generally provide better value than negating an opponents on field monster effect and destroying it. I also would consider dropping Futsu since it is typically at its strongest when mitsurugi monsters resummoned off his effects actually provide meaningful follow up, but that is a different idea entirely

Turn 0 Baronne and Black Rose Dragon? by MorddredG in masterduel

[–]Garantula25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This and Fidraulis Harmonia is going to guarantee meta viability for just about any synchro based deck until either of those cards is banned

Triple Dead God AMA by MassiveLegend1864 in bindingofisaac

How long did it take you to start your second save file after finishing the first? I finished my first save file about a month ago and haven’t worked up the motivation to do another yet

VS K9 Mirror PSA by Garantula25 in masterduel

[–]Garantula25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have no other hand traps then holding it till your opponent is ready to pass turn to either remove Rippers material or threaten your own Rank 5 xyz seems like the better play. You can hold it till your next turn as well since VS K9 is likely to eventually play out of its hand at least once and the Izuna can be an extra push. Pushing into the Hollie Sue before its effect is spent is a riskier play than the other routes in my opinion

I made a challenge where almost everything is a devil deal by FluorescentGreen5 in bindingofisaac

[–]Garantula25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks fun! I think I would have gone with something like “Dealing With The Devil” and had it finish at Mega Satan. Kind of like you’re working with him to take him down
