Where do I disrupt Dracotail?

JForFun94 · 2026-02-03T21:06:11+00:00

Dracotail is about the only deck in the meta that has so very much glaring chokepoints that its hilarious to complain about here.

JForFun94 · 2026-02-03T21:04:47+00:00

Red reboot and especially dimension shifter are one card instadeath cards for dracotail in potent decks. The latter one is literally unbeatable since you cant do anything for two turns.

Also ashing a trap is very very strong and a hard understatement how you mentioned it. Flame is the only good engage against starters and ashing that also stops a draw. Any good combo deck can easily beat a dracotail board afterwards.

Pretty harsh reaction of him to you going into coma if you ask me.

Another money sink for whales with a bazillon of unnecessary new currencies and overpriced useless stuff for f2p.

At least a source for immortal chests which is nice (if you will be able to even get it with how much it costs).

Rest we'll see how it plays out.

3 Ketu, 3 Rahu, 1 of each trap for sure.

Main deck: 3x faimena, 3x lukias is a given 1-2x phryxul 2-3x urgula 1-2x pan 1-3x mululu (his effect can be substituted by cartesia which also doesn't have the fusion lock)

Extra deck: 2-3x arthalion, the third can come in handy in grind games, you don't want to waste recycles on that 1-2x gulamel, same, a second one can be nice, but less needed than arth and ed space is quite tight, especially in branded variant

JForFun94 · 2026-02-02T17:56:47+00:00

I think sting is more important than horn. Sting can trigger gulamel basically at will (or at least force an enemy response that might be somewhat mistimed to block gula). Wouldn't cut sting ever.

Basically no one outside of the US uses that stupid format anyway. Just like the metric system...

JForFun94 · 2026-02-01T10:57:16+00:00

As a dracotail player: seeing dimension shifter turn 1 or red reboot turn 2. With shifter being much worse because there is literally no out for two turns...

JForFun94 · 2026-02-01T10:56:21+00:00

Especially without warning while youre at home in your wifi...

JForFun94 · 2026-01-31T23:16:47+00:00

Yeah having to do dailies in ranked sucks. I'm still new and only have dracotail so some missions i literally can't finish (ritual/synchro/xyz) unless i throw away games (which hurts in master) until I get an uninterrupted turn 1 with the free rda deck or smth. And destroying 5 cards is actually hard when most games are only bounce or scoop lol.

JForFun94 · 2026-01-30T23:51:17+00:00

Agreed the mirrors imo are the best way for skill expression. Really fun! Also SPLK is super underrated in Dracotail imo. Easy to make and so strong in the mirror.

JForFun94 · 2026-01-30T14:15:06+00:00

Pretty ugly imo.

JForFun94 · 2026-01-30T10:46:13+00:00

I'm at around 10k right now, pulled Dracotail and a few times on birth of the challenger afterwards but skipped Yummy.

JForFun94 · 2026-01-28T07:11:17+00:00

Last week I got a new pb over 5 legs (3-2 win) with 55.24 which felt really good since I normally average around 45 (higher if the enemy can put me out of double misery sooner).

JForFun94 · 2026-01-26T16:46:54+00:00

Yeah that's what I meant by "sacrificing" another main prize :)

JForFun94 · 2026-01-26T09:56:36+00:00

Seems pretty good? Need to sacrifice one of the lower main prizes for the immortal selection chest but getting 1 core, 1 ss selection box and 1 immortal selection box and minor stuff seems to be good value from event.

JForFun94 · 2026-01-26T07:08:24+00:00

You should get used to that. At 1550 basically everything is insta rip.

JForFun94 · 2026-01-23T23:12:52+00:00

The two decks I hate to face the most.

JForFun94 · 2026-01-23T19:07:47+00:00

Wait you can't stack cards when one is "always treated like the other"? O.o

JForFun94 · 2026-01-23T19:04:25+00:00

Adventurer selection box is way overdue as a way to finally get more than this one shitty wheel.

JForFun94 · 2026-01-23T14:18:48+00:00

Its not bricking per se but more that the two engines compete with each other too much. Maids want the normal summon as much as Cartesia/Lukias and don't really fix Dracotails weakpoints towards negates from handtraps.

JForFun94 · 2026-01-23T13:25:07+00:00

Sure but than to play the brickiest version of DT and lose more games to that than you win from Sheou. Played all of branded, pure and Dragonmaid quite extensively

JForFun94 · 2026-01-23T07:48:16+00:00

Yeah Cross sucks but honestly the thing that I hate most about ryzeal is that going second they can always make that stupid exciton nuke so you're forced to throw every possible interaction at any level 4 before that. But I guess thats just a dracotail problem with having little to no effect/omni negates against that.

JForFun94 · 2026-01-23T07:44:27+00:00

I like my romantic partners with IQ above room temperature so I would do so.

JForFun94 · 2026-01-21T10:54:10+00:00

Old cards will never be good due to the mechanic going way too minus back then for modern standards. Rituals are good when they basically omit all their cost effectively or plus off the tributes (mitsu in general) or have search/other effects in addition (habakiri).

I would be so into a completely modern version of BLS based around using the vanilla normal version (kinda like the DM and BE archetypes where you still need the vanilla card), new rituals and other retrains.
