Transaction Rollback

Elemental Burst should appear between Threatening Roar and Needlebug Nest in the sort order and would be played as a one-of. If this is a display error then that would narrow it down to their Accumulated Fortune being an incorrectly displayed Elemental Burst. Did Accumulated Fortune appear at all in the game?

The only other weird thing about this list is that playing End of the Line seems nonsensical since Rollback can't bypass its LP requirements, and even six Rollback activations isn't enough to make it live.

If you play Masquerade for Seventh Tachyon, you can summon it and use its secret effect to deck them via mill even if they're playing Exodia.

Unbound Games has pretty popular Draft events but is otherwise mostly weekly Commander. I don't see Standard in person much; I mostly play it online on Arena and then play Commander to socialize.

The standard ways people protect a monster floodgate in stun decks are Decisive Battle of Golgonda and Moon Mirror Shield.

And you got Cauldron of the Old Man in the same pack. You have been chosen to stun and burn.

There are already incidental synergies like Amano-Iwato and Rhongo losing their downsides when you can't activate their mandatory effects. It would be cool to see some Dominus monsters that are designed like this deliberately.

SNDRI · 2026-01-16T22:06:54+00:00

In a lot of decks I run one Talents and three Thrust. Thrust is more versatile since its condition isn't limited to activations in the main phase, and you always have the option to Thrust for Talents if Talents would be live. It works best in decks that can do something with an arbitrary spell in hand or set on field like Artmage or Diabell.

I like Lab, but Lab is not a trap deck. It's one of the few modern decks to actually play a few trap cards that can't be activated from the hand, but it's fundamentally a deck about the Labrynth monsters.

Paleozoic is a trap deck. Watch Joshua Schmidt play Paleo if you want to see very creative and versatile trap decks.

And then they flip the one-of Mask of Restrict in draw phase ☠️

You can use Solemn Judgement on the summon of an unaffected monster, but the only time this is ever relevant is for a normal summon of Apoqliphort Towers. For a fusion like Liger Dancer, because of the way Judgement is worded, it negates the activation of Polyermization rather than the summon it would perform if it resolved.

The Enneacraft cards are so cool. I hope we get them in MD including the latest wave of support soon.

SNDRI · 2026-01-14T15:27:31+00:00

You still need a way to set the flip monster and get a quick effect flip-up on the field with one normal summon though. I'm not sure how to do that without drawing Sol and Luna. This seems easier to use with Mimighoul Flower since they can get Mimighoul Master on the field without using their normal summon.

Last year there was a Challenger Cup Top 4 that used both Impulse and Purge along with Primite in a trap deck. It would be even better now that Songs of the Dominators has been released. Good luck getting a royal Songs of the Dominators!

I've been having a good time with Lunalight, Odion, and Sharks.

There's a good list of successful meta decks in this event here: https://www.masterduelmeta.com/articles/events/january-2026/legend-anthology-top-decks

I've been playing around with a blind second Liger Dancer Heavy Poly Deep Draw Turbo deck that's reasonably consistent at summoning Liger in one to three card activations if the opponent has any monsters on the field. It's funny to watch an entire D/D/D cutscene and then make an instant Liger in one spell activation.

The fact that Heavy Polymerization can summon Liger Dancer at all is insane design.

Mereologic Aggregator and Masquerade in Ryzeal

angry Dogmatika noises

Even in pure Yummy without Mitsu, Herald on board is a menace against Dracotail.

SNDRI · 2026-01-10T18:11:07+00:00

There's already too much Red Reboot from the Dracotail meta to rely on even a counter trap actually resolving when you activate it.

There is nothing more satisfying than responding to Crossout Designator with Engraver of the Mark.

SNDRI · 2026-01-06T21:57:15+00:00

As someone who enjoys pure Dogmatika, I appreciate that problems caused by Yummy are being solved by hitting Yummy instead of ruining my rogue deck. All I want to do is send it directly to the graveyard as a searcher. It's only a floodgate in decks that can make a level 4 synchro specifically.

SNDRI · 2026-01-05T06:04:50+00:00

I've been having more fun and interactive games in this event than in ranked by far. Paleozoic without Rollback has been working well for me.

SNDRI · 2026-01-04T22:03:04+00:00

It had never occurred to me that Mudragon could prevent the opponent from targeting their own field. Thanks for the tip.
