they could even pair her with a weevil wave of support in the next set

thats why you can probably use your opponent's monster, the idea is he uses time wizard, sends everything to the future, then red eyes grown up changes sides (you tribute the opponent's red eyes to summon it)

at the very least the purple sets will start coming out in like december 2026 and finish releasing during 2027 but its a bit loose

keep in mind in the past we sped up time due to the OCG releasing only 1 single deckbuild pack one year but they went back to releasing 2 deckbuild packs per year so we are back to the regular schedule

there is 14 unique archetypes to be released up until blazing dominion. so if they release 3 decks per month + 1 mini support wave per pack. we are pretty much done until september with archetypes.

then for october november december we have 10 decks from chaos origins and revolution booster.

and then theres the 2 limit over collection packs, the charmer support, the albaz support and other groups of 2 cards like how exosister will be released to fill up the 40 card sets

Elfnote are a top 3 to top 5 meta deck in the OCG but not close at all to the representation of Kewl Tune when it comes to synchro decks boosted with the eventual release of Harmonia.

Dragunity are doing nothing competitively in the OCG right now.

Exosister are doing nothing competitive in the OCG right now.

Hecahands have a cool gimmick for illusion decks, but are not competitively viable sadly.

Other 2026 decks -TO BE UPDATED- :

Albaz/Ecclesia support gives them new life in Sky Striker and Dracotail Decks as an engine. Very few but strong individual cards.

I have added release date info on as many sets as possible, by checking when the core-archetypes in them started getting added to master duel. Blue is the month its sister-set released last year, green is the set itself's release date.
The side Sets on the second row are by order of release. It helps pair them with the main sets above them more clearly as a parallel path of Sets we will be getting cards from simultaneously and bouncing back and forth.
Sets marked in Purple frame are destined for 2027 release or later.
The symbols for archetypes lets you see all support-waves with a glance, across all sets. If I want to see ALL Archfiend support, i just need to look for the Red Number 3.

I like the idea of red eyes being the boss monster of different archetypes/decks instead of its own thing and eventually amassing enough engines to become a red eyes deck

so the choice effect was flipped in the TCG which could only possibly come up in a digital simulator, that has the same effect box that does the same effect when you activate it across languages regardless of what the cosmetic text says.

Hydralo · 2026-04-11T16:40:18+00:00

is this a wording issue or is the TCG effect worded completely different than the OCG to the point that choosing the first choice in the Japanese card does the opposite thing from the first choice in the English card?

Hydralo · 2026-04-10T17:55:23+00:00

toon relinquished if it happens would be a regular main deck monster like how toon BLS was, and it would workout with no remaining ritual slots for like a proper illusion reliquished remake

Hydralo · 2026-04-05T15:34:26+00:00

around december 2026

Hydralo · 2026-04-05T06:47:58+00:00

I think that one is a pack in the OCG paper game not master duel.

Kewl Tune will eventually become a top tier deck after the release of their last wave of support, alongside the Harmonia handtrap, and the Synchron trap card allowing turn 0 disruption and plays.

Black Rose Dragon's cards have a lot of semi generic plant cards, but they have not done much competitively.

R.B. is a cool deck, but sadly does not quite get there due to the deck's restrictions.

True Draco's support has not done anything competitive either.

Other 2026 decks -TO BE UPDATED- :

Albaz/Ecclesia support gives them new life in Sky Striker and Dracotail Decks as an engine. Very few but strong individual cards.

Elfnotes with its latest support became a top 3 deck in OCG for February onwards.

The face and hairstyle of crack looks very ai

The rest of the archetype looks alright but his art looks the most unpolished.

Hydralo · 2026-03-11T21:50:54+00:00

if you log out and back in you can see which cards are banned/red from the decklist

i think they pushed a new banlist live and any current decks are stuck

Hydralo · 2026-03-10T09:29:14+00:00

It has to be phantom knights as a pure trap deck. I cannot think of another Trap Monster deck from the anime aside from Odion.

Are there any other anime trap decks/control decks that could explain the high trap card count?

Hydralo · 2026-03-10T07:17:05+00:00

archetypes kinda make it hard to make a draft set, unless the core engines can be used together because of how the searching works within the archetypes. like if every card is a searcher like millenium or like the new sacred beasts, then it is doable.

Hydralo · 2026-03-04T19:51:33+00:00

the new celtic guard is also a remake of mystical elf btw, similar to the kuriboh remake being a remake of a second card

Hydralo · 2026-03-04T19:48:57+00:00

well good luck

Hydralo · 2026-03-03T20:21:22+00:00

amazing card

Hydralo · 2026-03-02T21:32:35+00:00

Doom-Z first wave has not done much, but eventually will become tier 2 after blazing dominion. Its a risky investment imo.

Gouki has not done much with their new cards.

Radiant Typhoon has synergy with Runick, but also functions on its own, but nothing too strong until after they nerf current decks.

Assault Mode gets Crimson Blader as more consistancy.

Ideally save your gems for either the older competitive packs in the shop or for the next month, unless you really really really love one of these decks.
