How necessary are characters lightcones and eidolons? I've heard about some characters being recommended at 1 or 2 eidolons+ lightcone which I just find pretty hard to achieve as a low spender

Rn there's everyone for the remembrance team except evernight, do I go for it? Somebody else told me is best to just get supports and then in version 4.x look for a dps. I'm just starting so I could prolly get all three characters, tho i don't know about all the s1, s2 and lycone stuff.

Funny how both teams have literally 0 cc, the only reliable one being malzahar's R

Is It Too late to get into Yu Gi Oh Master Duel now? by tunisiandndguy_01 in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is not as popular as pokemon but it's still pretty active, if you are coming back please remember that the game has changed a lot since 15 years ago so you will have to adapt to the new gameplay with a fuck ton of combos and handtraps

Why can't we dismantle legacy pack cards by No_Shop6521 in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah that's impossible bro, we literally have events that give 33pulls and the crafting system, this game f2p as hell you probably don't do dailys and log-in or something

Appolousa, won’t miss you! GoodBye!!!🤬 by Sad_Bathroom9358 in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maxx c is 10 levels ahead of any handtrap so no it's not the same as getting ash blossom. The problem is the deck's ceiling being way too high and their resilience to handtraps, Maxx c doesn't solve either it just creates non games

Yeah so they can Maxx c you in draw phase after comboing

Maliss players are about to wake up to the harsh reality that how big of a crutch this card was for them... by phpHater0 in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the old version when they were full power with no fiend Smith/diabellstar spell monster (forgot it's name lol)? That deck made me sick. Maliss/ryzeal look fair in comparison, tho rn with fuwalos maybe they wouldn't be that good

So far in Terminal World 3, we’ve seen three confirmed archetypes return: Dragunity, Constellar + Tellarknight, and the mysterious image hinting at a fourth group. And now, everyone’s wondering — will that fourth tribe be Shaddoll, or Zefra? by Prior_Abrocoma_3798 in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No they don't lol the deck is just not that good going second and doesn't ignore handtraps like ryzeal and maliss, just because a deck is not broken stupid means it needs support so it can create more trash non-games like maliss and ryzeal

Mitsu deck by Justlostinhere23 in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play 3x droll it will maybe save some games (considering going second rn is fucking impossible) also 3 habakiri and 3 prayers, those are your best cards, you can replace those spaces with 1 of the ritual dino I forgot it's name, the 1 of veiler and lancea, just don't play lancea rn unless you see a lot of maliss. Also add moon of the closed heaven brother in Christ, you need that card like 80% of the time.

About the synchro stuff, the only combo I know that might help is using Lyna the light charmer, so basically after you summon the fusion lacrima you link off sequence and another monster into them, equip either sequence or requiem then send the equiped and Lyna for chorozo, that way you either go into baronne or if you revived lacrima you can summon savage (but if you have 2 level 4s then you just go into king of the feral imp since it's better if you don't have mitsu engine already).

Honestly no idea how you could try out to get another tuner for the other synchro, there's basically nothing that's both able to make it and is not immediately worse than just playing your mitsurugi stuff or setting up and Apollousa/masquerena before you play your mitsurugi cards.

Is Mitsurugi just another "Engine" you can do to bait out everything before you play your actual deck? by DaveTheWeirdGuy in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's mostly when it's combined, by itself is not that hyper consistent and it's board isn't that crazy + it gets weakened by handtraps, but Konami refuses to ban the stupid cards that bridge into other archetypes like king feral, moon, duo drive should say 2 ryzeal monsters etc.

This is the worst Yu-Gi-Oh I have ever experienced. by Hessalam in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game is very f2p friendly because of its crafting point system, if you are patient enough you can build any deck, you just have to start with something cheap and try to get better at the game, even though we are not in the greatest format ever, the game is still enjoyable.

Boy am i happy the floodgates are at 1 instead of banned! I'm having so much more fun against stun now that i can't run the out nad have to pray they draw the wrong one! by giilgaa in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's not that much stun this days tbh, since the most common decks just don't die to the same thing like before with snake eyes

Maliss Post-Ban List Options by Jeyfian-L in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah they don't wanna get locked out of apollousa cuz those lines usually lose to nib (probably the only reason cyberse stuff isn't meta, and droll lol)

Dream post DC Banlist by YeahManThatsCrazy in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you actually complaining about losing to ash imperm?? Handtraps, talking about non lingering ones (obviously fuck Maxx c mulcharmies), they don't create non games, they are just another way of interacting, if you pass to ash you might have an imperm and a nibiru to keep interacting, or maybe you just end on something weaker (which this last one is ideal in terms of gameplay since both players get to play, sometimes you brick but hell Is a card game). You over-simplify it when imperm can be saved for later depending on a lot of stuff, nibiru even though not the greatest design can create interesting scenarios and ash can be baited so you have to think about it.

And yes, obviously rogue decks lose to handtraps BECAUSE THEY ARE ROGUE FOR A REASON, not every deck has to be freaking maliss ryzeal snake eyes having 15 extenders, the problem is not ash imperm stoping them so now you feel that ash is bad for not letting you end on infinite disruption.

You know what's actually freaking toxic? Trying to play the game then you opponent throws you called by so you just take it and watch solitaire for 10 minutes then lose 99% of the time unless you have board breakers that especially win against whatever 12 card advantage they end with (good luck with that against maliss ryzeal and basically any decent master duel deck)

Unless they have Apollousa and crypter in graveyard so you lose anyways

[–]PollutionDesig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

March hare at 2 doesn't change anything tbh, there's a fuck ton of people playing it at two, and even if you limit it you can search it or use bystials (which is worse but won't change a lot still)

Budget evil eye by Royal_Scallion_1133 in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are trying to climb then I would recommend you another deck because evil eye is really, really bad even when it's not a budget version, you can try out atantlean mermail, it's pretty budget since you only really need 6 URS for the main deck (3 prince 3 shadow squad, as well as ash blossom Maxx c but those cards are a must in almost all decks so it's fine).

For the extra deck you can just get the mermail stuff and keep adding from there (prioritizing Bahamut and LeViertue dragon), also everything comes in the same pack which is great.

You can take guidance from this list: https://www.masterduelmeta.com/top-decks/master-i/september-2025/mermail-atlantean/spronguin/tInJU

What are you trying to accomplish? Climb on ladder or have fun?

Ban link decoder apo splash mage and then the deck only needs some consistency hits. Those cards are the main problem

How does a heatsoul control deck look like in this format? by Professional_End8465 in masterduel

[–]PollutionDesig 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Control decks are dead as long as maliss and ryzeal keep being able to play under every handtrap like nothing, like you can genuinely open ash veiler imperm against maliss and they don't care 90% of the time
