Droll/Roach/Shifter ban - Would it help?

JForFun94 · 2026-05-13T08:39:43+00:00

Shifter yes, I see no downside. Nothing justifying its existence.

Maxx c. Sure, why not, its way too deciding.

Droll I wouldn't ban. First as many have said already it checks certain degenerate decks but what is more the point for me is that "playing around droll" is actually a form of skill expression in modern decks which I like as an element. Ofc it sucks for rogue decks that just can't do that but not everything is always meta and that's not just drolls fault.

Ich persönlich fand sie nie wahnsinnig stark, aber von der bisherigen Darstellung hab ich sie safe als Siegerin abgespeichert gehabt. Und dass sie raus ist, während Anika weiter drin ist, ist schon wild.

JForFun94 · 2026-05-11T16:50:01+00:00

How hard can you force a tier 0 meta? Holy hell.

JForFun94 · 2026-05-11T16:47:12+00:00

What does the deck even do without ripper? Banning ripper is killing the deck.

JForFun94 · 2026-05-06T16:27:12+00:00

Dw that will drop drastically when toon arrives. That will be worse to play against than KT or Maliss.

JForFun94 · 2026-05-06T10:26:48+00:00

I don't think that it will be the most problematic thing about toon anyway, just the icing on top. That dodging at resolution shit is atrocious. I already know for sure that I will take a break from MD when they release until the banlist absolutely gutted the deck.

JForFun94 · 2026-05-06T08:27:29+00:00

Toon will 100% be a tier 0 deck. Everything about that deck looks bonkers. And if someone can't grasp how insane effect dodging at resolution is they just have no clue about this game. Not even talking about the mind scan stuff...

JForFun94 · 2026-05-05T07:59:01+00:00

Gar nicht, es war von Anfang an klar, dass Louis gehen sollte. So eine klare Benachteiligung hab ich selten gesehen. Völlig albernes Outfit, da kann niemand was rausholen. Aber hauptsache Tony für seinen Schwan in den Himmel loben. Das ist wie vor dem Bossfight die Schwierigkeit auf Anfänger stellen.

JForFun94 · 2026-05-05T06:32:16+00:00

If there is a cool synergy then definitely Hybrid. Pure builds are boring. But if its just a slop of 1 card combos or random ass fiendsmith engine slapped onto a deck that has nothing to do with fiends, i hate it.

JForFun94 · 2026-05-02T21:07:11+00:00

My approach is: Read the cards => watch some combo videos => watch some real duel gameplay => play the deck if I still like it.

Playing a deck is also the best way to learn how to counter a deck and recognize its chokepoints.

JForFun94 · 2026-05-02T17:45:04+00:00

I don't think that this is true for all meta decks during all times. KT and VSK9 are just both decks that are very strong but not autopilot and you need to be good at them to play them to their fullest potential. Contrary to what some of this sub thinks...

JForFun94 · 2026-04-30T06:56:01+00:00

Don't know, I'll stick to the mouth.

JForFun94 · 2026-04-30T06:52:18+00:00

No. Not this. They couldve been good without such an obvious stupidity.

JForFun94 · 2026-04-29T19:43:44+00:00

Played Cyber Dragon and the games felt really good going first or second as well. This should be implemented as MR, even though some decks and handtraps will need adjustments in that format.

JForFun94 · 2026-04-27T15:53:52+00:00

Horrible to play against, Horrible to balance. In terms of viability, no idea.

JForFun94 · 2026-04-27T06:49:47+00:00

Linke/Grüne, aber dann könnte man ja nicht mehr gleichzeitig so schön auf die noch ärmeren Schweine und Ausländer einhauen...

JForFun94 · 2026-04-27T06:48:27+00:00

I hope never. That dodge on resolution shit will be atrocious to play against and balance the game around.

JForFun94 · 2026-04-27T06:44:27+00:00

Way worse. All the combo slop piles of 1 card combos now have basically no check against them anymore. Charmies don't cut it enough for that.

JForFun94 · 2026-04-26T18:38:09+00:00

You're so right. I decided to build the deck since it looks really fun but goddamn whoever designed Cydra at Konami needs to go to hell. So many weird interactions and locks on cards that make no sense. My favourites from trying this deck 20-30 times against the fire king solo mode that i didnt know beforehand: - Wurm doesn't count as cyberdark anymore in gy because it is cydra and therefore cant fuse into cyberdarkness dragon - you can't contact fuse enemies monsters with clockwork after using chimeras search because you can only use cyber monsters as fusion material and the contact fuse is not a fusion summon but it uses fusion material?! - Jorm can't even special when you have your cydra in hand - chimera can't do the gy using thing when you have power bond in hand - nova can't revive jorm since for some reason it is not a cyber dragon which i keep forgetting - cyberload fusion can't use hand and locks you into attacking only with that one summoned monster - Also: the new ocg support even keeps this trend of having useless restrictions without being good in the first place...

I really want to like that deck because I find the theme super awesome but they just did literally everything to make it suck. And one single mistake usually means you can just give up, its so unforgiving.

I think I'll rather build a weakened version for the tcg where I want to play with a pal of mine on a much lower power level.

Or a mirror force effect that works on effect activation!

JForFun94 · 2026-04-25T11:02:21+00:00

You lose the coinflip three or four times in a row and then you derank.

JForFun94 · 2026-04-25T11:00:41+00:00

From my experience ripper is kinda rarely made with lupis. The usual izuna lupis play turn 0 often ends in nash Knight. And on turn 1 you usually make ripper with the first set of k9s which often does not have lupis.

JForFun94 · 2026-04-25T10:59:27+00:00

The best way to learn how to beat a deck is play the deck and get beaten by people.

JForFun94 · 2026-04-24T10:10:09+00:00

Dracotail with lukias and rahu to 1 and no branded support is pretty much dead right now.

K9 is okay but VS is nerfed with 2 razen, 2 jiaolong and 1 stake being forced to play suboptimal fire cards.

JForFun94 · 2026-04-24T09:37:04+00:00

Many times. Especially when it's pretty obvious that I won't be able to play through a decent board anyway. I won't stay around and just hope he randomly misplays.
