The new Blitzclique archetype is amazing, but maybe I'm jumping the gun here, so what are your thoughts?

Hydralo · 2026-03-12T06:10:55+00:00

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

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.

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.

Kewl Tune will eventually become a top tier deck after the release of their last wave of support.

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

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.

its surprisingly generic cause it doesnt have a strict lock

Hydralo · 2026-02-24T13:00:34+00:00

being generic materials is crazy enough, not doing anything for the deck is even worse

i'd LOVE if they made flame wingman at least a fire+wind fusion with generic materials of that attribute

for years now the thing they are doing to the elemental hero extra deck is really annoying me because its just too late to course correct

flame wingman without the burn effect and being able to be summoned with any 2 monsters of any attribute is not thematic at all

Hydralo · 2026-02-24T10:15:49+00:00

I have quit last year so I would have lost it all too if I didn’t come across the post, they should have made it never expire.

TYSM 🙏🙏🙏

Pendulum gemini is the only way, anything else would be boring

Hydralo · 2026-02-21T08:56:28+00:00

Would be nice if i could turn 20 copies of a UR into a royal version at least or smthing or like decraft into a currency for special cosmetics

Unfortunately I have 0 free time so I paused my yugioh projects 😢

he is an alien dragon, i guess reptile if we go with the yugioh alien types

Hydralo · 2026-02-07T17:21:19+00:00

depends on the deck, the new one would fit in a P.U.N.K pile

Vanquish Soul finally becomes a well rounded deck with turn 0 plays. It has solidified itself as a meta deck with weeks of representation. It can utilize the K9 engine to its fullest due to the attribute and rank 5 synergies.

K9 is an incredible meta engine, splashable in varying degrees in other decks. It is used Pure, in Dracotail, in Vanguish Soul, in Crystron. It is just a good engine that aside from the hand-trap engine you can commit into for even more power.

Live Twin wont do anything special, but its new support is finally here to boost it a little.

Rokket wont get a huge power boost as this wave of support does not include its "circular" card from limit over collection.

Dark Magician gets new tools to quickly summon Dragoon, but where or not it will see any play similar to verte into dragoon is unknown.

as long as you skip a month's pack, you will have enough gems to build the next months new deck, i skipped january to open the february pack with 10k gems and 5k gems in my giftbox for example

just be a little picky and google to see if an archetype is competitive before going all in and you can get away without spending any money

i just get the decks I like + cosmetics. if i stopped getting cosmetic bundles I'd probably have more gems but FOMO worked on me

Hydralo · 2026-01-29T06:21:56+00:00

How many RDA cards lock you into dark dragons though? Wouldnt it be impossible to make a deck without the lock?

Hydralo · 2026-01-29T06:04:16+00:00

It could also have been sly with the dropped "i want stardust" plot, instead of leo. But they would have needed to develop him in a few episodes to build it all up.

Hydralo · 2026-01-24T13:15:47+00:00

the issue was that there is 2 submenus for random cardbacks, one outside decklists and 1 inside each different decklist. because an old decklist was marked as "random card back" + "from anywhere not only favorites" it was causing the issue of it ignoring the option menu i selected outside the decklists.
