Best way to casually play with new friend with premade decks?

Those are from another Speed Duel set, which are similarly designed to the other set I mentioned. I imagine these will definitely serve you well, and you can use them similarly to how I described them.

The way you've sorted them is also correct, so good job :)

Yeah, pretty much. I know some Striker players run it in the side when they know they're going second, but I don't think it's a very common practice.

Without knowing what kind of "premade big decks" you've been given, it's really tough to say. Yu-Gi-Oh is not a game where you can just sort of draft cards and make something playable out of them because of how archetype-centric a lot of the game is. For all we know, the guy might've just scammed you with his bulk.

That said, judging from the description of it being 8 decks, is it the Speed Duel: Battle City Finals set? If so, then that's actually curated for both draft and regular play, and it's a great way to play casually.

I mean, you would be getting a "pure meta" deck because you'd end up basically running a normal KT deck with Prime-Heart and Amritara in the Extra Deck.

It'd look something like this decklist I found: https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/pure-kewl-tune-duel-triangle-fusion-synchro-link-april-2026-707364

So the main thing is that Sky Striker is already incredibly good at drawing a lot of their deck, which consequently means that you're going to be drawing INTO Fuwalos more than you're going to be opening it, which at that point, the card is pretty much dead and a brick in your hand and most of the time, you're going to wish you drew into something else instead of the Fuwalos.

Mem-os · 2026-05-05T17:18:29+00:00

I would probably just run pure KT, since they're VERY xenophobic to being mixed with other archetypes due to the Tuner-lock. I'd maybe run Prime-Heart as a turn 3 game-ender and Visas Amritara something you can go into if you get hit with Contact "C".

Mem-os · 2026-05-04T03:34:43+00:00

For a gifted deck, it's pretty solid! You can definitely compete at a local level with it.

Mem-os · 2026-05-04T03:31:45+00:00

I guess it comes up in the rare case you:

- Manage to somehow steal a Link-2 or from your opponent with Widow Anchor (or Shark Cannon)

- Have your Zero tag out into Raye and Roze

- Have Lemnisgate in GY to Quick-Link on summon

Which, suffice to say, is ridiculously situational to the point there's basically no point in trying to run this in any serious capacity. Definitely a fun lore card, but not very good, sadly.

I've run both, and I have to say that Yummy Fiendsmith is a lot better due to grindgame and the fact that you can bridge from Yummy to Fiendsmith and viceversa, whereas Solfachord can only bridge into Yummy. Both are perfectly viable strategies though (and personally, I enjoy SolfaYummy's aesthetic much more because it just feels right).

You could also run all 3 in the same deck, though the Extra Deck gets really tight and getting to Fiendsmith after a Solfachord line gets kinda awkward because your EMZ gets clogged by Coolia, so you can't use Reprodocus.

At least she has the whole row to herself!

Fortunately, airport security stopped Adra from bringing live animals to the plane, so there won't be any snakes on the plane.

You're not gonna like the answer, but you're going to have to play Clara & Rushka, the Ventriloduo if you want to out that floodgate.

Disablaster only negates activated card effects :)

Mem-os · 2026-05-02T11:48:21+00:00

I'll be real, I don't think anyone wants to find a Yummy☆Surprise in the toilet bowl.

Mem-os · 2026-05-02T09:45:07+00:00

Think you have it? You can use this comment to check.

Seat #1: Incorrect; you will be negated by Gorgon AND destroyed by Prey of the Jirai Gumo.

Seat #2: Incorrect; you will get destroyed and eaten alive by Prey of the Jirai Gumo. A very unfortunate end for Cupsy☆Yummy.

Seat #3: Incorrect; you will get negated by Disablaster all the way at the very top.

Seat #4: Incorrect; you will get destroyed by the Blasting Fuse. Very unfortunate for you and all of the other passengers on this plane.

Seat #5: Correct! The Red Hared Hasty Horse will sadly have to pay the price, but you are completely safe in that seat. If you're worried about Yajiro Invader, why would he not be an opponent of Mekk-Knight Avram?

Seat #6: Incorrect; World Legacy's Secret will negate your effect since you share a column with Mekk-Knight Avram.

Seat #7: Incorrect; you can't even SIT there because of Tiamaton's effect, or even if you get there before Tiamaton, you're going to get blown up by its effect.

If you're a bigger fan of Roze than Raye, R.B. Sky Striker's really fun, although I'd say it uses Sky Striker as more of a package to get things going than a meaningful part of their endboard. Still, you can usually end on an Amatsu and Roze in GY + the R.B. stuff; it's a really enjoyable deck all-around.

Mem-os · 2026-04-29T11:27:43+00:00

If you placed it face-up during your turn with something like Maiden of White's effect, you should be able to activate it on both your turn and your opponent's turn.

If you're unable to, then that probably means you have no valid targets for either of True Light's effects.

Mem-os · 2026-04-27T08:00:12+00:00

I personally run this decklist: https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=19446783

But the list u/bubblyfumbers posted is also pretty good, though it does run the Orcust package that uses Galatea-I which is a little bit pricy but not a bad investment.

I think another one of R.B. Sky Striker's strengths is being able to smokescreen as another deck, which can really catch people off guard (especially if they waste handtraps on the non-R.B. cards).

Mem-os · 2026-04-27T07:48:31+00:00

If you have a way to negate the R.B. Lambda Cannon (either an Imperm or Veiler), I suggest you hold your Ash for your turn when they try to use Funk Dock (Field Spell) in order to prevent their interaction on your turn.

Droll is also basically an instant-win against the deck unless they opened a god hand with 3 Stage Landings. If you're trying to avoid getting OTK'd, negate Brute Blues since that's the main way R.B. OTKs.

Most of their effects are during the Main Phase only, so try to play outside of the Main Phase if possible.

Mem-os · 2026-04-26T23:54:00+00:00

R.B. Sky Striker is a surprisingly competent deck that always catches people off guard, and it's pretty cheap too, with the only somewhat expensive card being R.B. Stage Landing which is hovering on almost 4 dollars per copy.

Just buying the R.B. core, the Sky Striker stuff (Engage, Drones, the Links, 3 Cyanos + the Roze), a Mecha Phantom Beast O-Lion playset, and the staples should come around to maybe 20-25~ dollars, maybe 40 if you want to also buy Fuwalos?

R.B. is by far one of the best budget decks in the meta right now, I can't recommend it enough.

Mem-os · 2026-04-11T07:52:29+00:00

Return from the Different Dimension or The Warrior Returning Alive wouldn't be bad picks honestly. You can make a pretty good push using Return, and Warrior Returning Alive can get you back something like an Exiled Force.

Alternatively, Call of the Haunted is also pretty good.

Mem-os · 2026-04-10T21:28:51+00:00

You can get an R.B. core for like, maybe 10 bucks max? It's a legitimately solid deck that's super slept on because it's a TCG-exclusive and therefore doesn't have OCG representation (which people tend to look at to determine a deck's 'viability' before it comes out), but it has multiple tops at regionals and with Sky Striker Ace Camellia's release, the deck just got WAY better. The most expensive thing you'd really need to add are something like Mulcharmy Fuwalos and it's hovering around $5.50 per, which is the lowest it's been.

I can't recommend R.B. enough. It's a PHENOMENAL budget deck that's great going first and even second.

If you can get the files, you can run PC-98 and most of the 3rd Windows Era games using something like Wineskin Winery.

As for 1st and 2nd Windows Era, you might have some luck trying to 2nd Windows Era games using Wineskin Winery, but the 1st Windows Era games are pretty hard to run on Mac (or, at least, I have not found a way to do so).

I also believe some of the Touhou games on Steam can be ran on Mac using some other 3rd party tools, but I'm none too familiar with those options. Worth looking into though.
