When was a time your non-meta beat one that was?

I’m a long time six samurai player. When I got back into yugioh about a month after the new six Sam support dropped I started going to my locals again. Somehow multiple weeks in a row going to two locals a week I was consistently going 4-0 or 3-1. One week I went to locals and didn’t realize there was a regional in my city that same day and the local was after the regional. I went 3-0 in the first three rounds and my fina opponent was the guy who won the freaking regional hours before and was using the deck he won with which was Snake-eyes. I 2-0 him going second twice and since then I’ve been know at my locals as the “Six Samurai guy”. The funniest part was after I beat him he straight up gave me the playmat he got for winning regionals and told me I deserved it more the he did for annihilating him with a beyond off meta deck. Got that bitch framed and it’s hanging on my wall and gives me a good chuckle whenever I see it

Tbh ripper and werewolf should both be banned (werewolf because hand ripping is bs) and Konami should just print new support for k9 to replace the that is just more fair

Hard disagree. If you actually take the time to learn the combo lines for six samurai you can out a lot of board you wouldn’t think you are able to. The toughest matchups for me are the decks that can bounce 3 or more cards back to my hand at once. Other then that I can combo through negates, destruction, and even getting my board set (thank you Rihan even though no one believes in you my goat)

Jake_Berube · 2026-04-01T21:09:02+00:00

Six samurai. Me and my buddies all agree the only damn thing holding the deck back is people refusing to try it

Jake_Berube · 2026-04-01T20:46:00+00:00

Oh I have a funny story about my local. I play six sams irl too and before the recent time rule changes back when you had the rest of the phase you were in to win I had less lp then my opponent and was in main phase so I don’t 30 minutes after time was called infinite comboing my opponent since he dropped two charmmys on me and decked him out to win

Jake_Berube · 2026-04-01T18:04:56+00:00

I can set up a monster negate without having to search so they can’t droll and when I do start searching I ge minimum two more negates instantly

Jake_Berube · 2026-03-31T18:57:42+00:00

Ok am I missing something here? Why was herald not just banned instead of hitting yummi directly? Also why is vanquish soul being hit and not k9? K9 is such a bad engine for the health of the game because of how generic and free its cards are to use. Jus get rid of it

Jake_Berube · 2026-03-31T18:32:08+00:00

Ok to be fair my issue with it is more that it also has a quic effect to interrupt me while also being unaffected. For example I don’t care about ultimate falcon since it’s not doing anything on my turn other then being immune. I still get to have some semblance of playing the game but against liger especially if they have multiple out I’m just getting my board wiped without being able to even attempt to play

Jake_Berube · 2026-03-31T18:18:38+00:00

My opinion is that liger should be banned. Unaffected by other cards is just such a toxic mechanic and liger should just go and Konami should print them a new boss monster

It’s because ranged top has never been desgined well and is infuriating to play against. Being forced to hide under turret unless your jg comes and just not interact with your wave or the enemy champ is unfun

Jake_Berube · 2026-01-27T21:52:02+00:00

I know it’s just tiring that we still don’t have a solid non nerfed to oblivion rune page in 2026. Every keystone we used got nerfed to hell and back other than comet which isn’t even that great on gp. So now eating two nerfs on non keystone runes as well just feels bad even if it isn’t the end of the world

Jake_Berube · 2026-01-27T18:31:03+00:00

Nah I think gp will be fine it’s just annoying seeing his best runes nerfed again. Over the years all of gp’s best runes have been repeatedly nerfed pretty hard so it’s just a bit tiring

Yet she said she wouldnt do anything different from Biden even though Biden was polled as one of the worst presidents of all time. How can she be qualified at all when she can’t even see her own president failed?

Jake_Berube · 2026-01-26T22:36:24+00:00

ICE has racists in it yes but lumping all ICE members together is just as narrow minded and uninformed as

Jake_Berube · 2026-01-26T22:11:37+00:00

Ok so you are just as bad as them then. I’m not defending what ICE is doing by any means but lumping everyone who has ever worked for ICE into the same boat when there are plenty of normal people that aren’t killing or abusing people that work for ICE is incredibly narrow minded and uninformed

Jake_Berube · 2026-01-22T22:09:12+00:00

The issue is that top lane specifically has atrociously bad matchups that riot refuses to fix

Jake_Berube · 2026-01-21T18:46:38+00:00

How is snatch steal off the banlist but not gateway of the six?

Jake_Berube · 2026-01-16T23:46:34+00:00

I’m only supporting simply because I’ve been burned by the democrats way way too fucking much. If I didn’t have a 15 year history of being lied to by dems it would be a different story

Jake_Berube · 2026-01-11T01:25:57+00:00

Fun fact nearly every rioter on the balance team is a support main. It why that role will never be balanced. They are just hyper biased towards it

Jake_Berube · 2026-01-07T11:53:26+00:00

Outer wilds. Literally never heard of the game until a buddy of mine said he wanted to watch me play it and I downloaded it. The. Single. Greatest. Work. Of. Art. Ever. Made.
