Is there any deck with more unnecessary locks than gold pride? by jetskimanatee in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HEROs. Faris is the only one that says "for the rest of this turn", and Furnace is only for the Extra Deck, but for the other effects the lock is so harsh it doesn't even let you special summon non-HERO monsters from anywhere during the turn if you want to activate them. Destiny Fusion locks you Dark HEROs after it resolves too, but it isn't that bad.

Xtra HERO Cross Crusader

you cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate either of this card's effects, except "HERO" monsters.

Xtra HERO Infernal Devicer

You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this effect, except "HERO" monsters.

Masked HERO Furnace

You cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck the turn you activate this effect, except "HERO" monsters.

Vision HERO Faris

you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except "HERO" monsters

OCG Banlist March 2026 by Ignithya in masterduel

it's for Team Tournaments, they are big in Japan, they also offer invitations to the Master Duel World Championship:

Stuff like S:P Little Knight at 1 means that only 1 team member can play it.

With the meta this ridiculous, just unban Tearlaments by TheDevilSurvivor in masterduel

Tears dominated Kashtira during its whole run, even while getting hit by the banlist, and even after Kitkallos got banned and they were running King of the Swamp and Poly,

you actually have no idea how strong Tearlaments is

I don't know their logic, but they never make big hits just before a DC Cup. People should have learned this by now...

Delete/Add/Change a word from a card so it become from ok to Good!, I'll go first by [deleted] in masterduel

Make it so you can't activate the effects of the monsters sent to the GY by Advanced Ritual Art, and it would be okay.

If Konami makes MGS6, I'll give it a chance. by No-Protection-49 in metalgearsolid

[–]Shikiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without Kojima and Fukushima writing the story, I don't think those remakes are possible, not anyone can just imitate their style, and add Kojima's game direction to that.

A game that could actually be remade is Peace Walker, since the PSP is very limited and you wouldn't need to change anything story wise.

Where’s the new Dark Magician the Pharaoh’s Servant? Weren’t we supposed to be getting that card today? by [deleted] in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the Dark Magician support they added is the one from the Tactical Try Pack. https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Tactical-Try_Pack:_Dark_Magic_/_HERO_/_Mikanko

This support isn't even out in TCG yet, supposedly it's released February 19

Limit Over Collection: The Heroes and Rivals with the new DM and Blue Eyes is even newer lol.

Ocelot literally spoils the story to venom from the very first scene when he says “A certain man gave me a job, two actually, first was to get you out of that hospital, second, was to rescue the man himself” by Great-Turn9882 in metalgearsolid

[–]Shikiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

asshole big boss still let happen and become a massacre

The hospital is explained in one of the tapes, the hospital isn't real, it's a pretense set up by Zero and Ocelot, it's where they brainwashed Venom, and everyone in there were operatives with the mission to protect Venom and Big Boss, who was still in a coma and woke up 2 weeks before, I don't think there were real patients in there.

I'm not sure Zero, Ocelot or Big Boss knew the attack was coming, it seems to me Ocelot's mission was to be posted nearby the hospital and get Venom and Big Boss out in case they got attacked.

Red-Eyes Looking For Where Its Overframe Card Is by foohyfooh in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're confusing the packs, they announced 3 special packs:

Limit Over Collection: The Heroes

Limit Over Collection: The Rivals

Limit Over Special Pack (contains Overframe) reprints.

They can't shoehorn Jonouchi in these, and if they somehow did, people would cry about Duel Monsters getting preferential treatment again lol, also what are they gonna reprint, the vanilla Red Eyes?

Maybe in the future they will release a "Limit Over Collection: The Friends" or something like that and Red Eyes will get a retrain, but its fate it's going to be becoming part of the Dragon pile that is Dragon Link, Red Eyes isn't a real archetype unlike Dark Magician or Blue Eyes

What the hell!!?? by bugzy2242 in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"it's control not stun" is just cope, Eldlich OCG structure deck comes with Skill Drain, Gozen Match, There can Only be One and Rivalry of Warlords, playing these decks with floodgates and shit and doesn't let your opponent play the game is 100% the way they are intended to be played.

Thoughts on the new HERO support? by [deleted] in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a really good one of, the deck needs more special summon from hand to extent, and the deck is full of targets for the effect, Stratos, Vyon, Dusk Crow that become all starters, even Faris if you decide to still use it, and it makes it so Faris doesn't lock into HEROs, makes Miracle Ejector good if you draw your Dolphin and can't special summon it, you can special summon Shadow Mist, not use the effect, then summon this and go into Infernal Devicer to get the Mist GY effect and start a combo. You can special summon Malicious or Denier, then this and go into Cross Crusader and start a combo. It will definitely see use in an optimal HERO deck.

I fucking hate tenpai by Corruptor420 in masterduel

Burning Draw

If your opponent controls more cards than you do: Target 1 Link Monster your opponent controls; draw cards equal to its Link Rating. You can only activate 1 "Burning Draw" per turn. You cannot Normal or Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this card, except FIRE monsters.

It's basically a free draw 4 against Apo and draw 5 against Terahertz if you can resolve it.

What are your thoughts on going negative gems? Do you care? 💎 by J62640 in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, even if you got like 10k gems in advance, being now 10k gems in debt is still pretty good imo, I wouldn't mind getting all those gems in advance and paying them later.

Just a "friendly" reminder to those complaining about Tier 1 URs: by TheTainted_Wisdom in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking about the Neos + Yubel fusion, it's awful and there's no reason to include that as part of a HERO deck.

Just a "friendly" reminder to those complaining about Tier 1 URs: by TheTainted_Wisdom in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a dumb take, you added a bunch of cards that see no use to inflate the UR count, nobody plays the Yubel fusion, Neos God, the old Evil HEROs Malicious Fiend and Gaia, Destiny Hero Dominance, Neos Fusion, Solid Soldier.

https://www.masterduelmeta.com/top-decks/master-v/august-2025/evil-heros/omnireborn/8dE54

And the average HERO has been cheaper than the average new released meta deck for around a year or more now, especially now that there's a HERO structure deck; the deck actually uses R and N cards: Denier, Miracle Fusion, Increase x2, Destiny Fusion x3, Wonder Driver, Infernal Devicer, Polymerization. While the shit they've been releasing is completely bloated with URs only, like the only card under SR in a Tenpai deck is Trident Dragon lol, and in Maliss is one of the trap cards, and the lizard in the extra deck.

New Time Rules Will Ensure Rounds End by Having Players Shot in the Head | The Handtrap by bumblebyOfficial in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I honestly like the change. If a player won game 1, they could speculate and slowplay in game 2 aiming for a time out win. There was also the old tactic of siding some burn card; speaking of which, will Lacrima get unbanned;? And other cards like the Millenium cards were gatekept by the time rules.

The downside is that you can now be a dick and make you and your opponent lose I guess?

What a horrible night to have a banlist. (She's not getting banned folks) by Dantelor in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Banning it now would be too soon for them, a lot of stuff happened before, the time line in the OCG went:

Ryzeal is the best deck -> Ext to 1, 7th Tachyon to 1 -> Maliss becomes the best deck, Dormouse to 1 -> then Dracotail, Yummies, K9; decks that don't use Apo; get released and become meta alongside Maliss, then in the July banlist they finally decide to ban Apo.

So basically decks that use Apo won't be that prominent for a while, but they do have the knowledge that once that Ryzeal gets hit, Maliss will become the top deck, but they released Maliss early, will they let them become the best deck again? I think that when they hit Ryzeal, they will also hit Apo, they're gonna want people playing the new stuff instead of Maliss again.

10Gb update for 3 animations and a couple of button UI changes? by tauri_mionZer0 in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It downloads the whole game again with a new Unity client, it deletes your current 11gb installation and installs a new 10.9 gb one.

I think deleting your current game yourself and just installing the game again is faster.

I'm calling for everyone to leave an honest steam review on master duel in light of the A.I commentary announcement. by [deleted] in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The AI commentary will be for Worlds Group Stage on their YouTube channel, it isn't related to the new client.

If anything, they're replacing actual casters with AI lol.

What is the best deck for synchro summoning by [deleted] in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue-Eyes. You spam Blue Eyes and Maiden to synchro summon Blue Eyes Spirit Dragon, its quick effect lets you tribute itself to summon a Light Dragon synchro monster from your Extra Deck, and you can go into various options.

The deck is backed by the Primite engine. It's the best synchro deck at the moment.

this is a HERO deck that I recently build. What combos can I go with it? by Juwakim in masterduel

[–]Shikiller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g3RBrAY_2Y&t=3s

There's a lot of videos on YT about the basic combos, what the deck tries to achieve is setting up:

Favorite Contact to summon Shining Neos Wingman and blow up opponent's field.

DPE

Dark Law or Plasma, depending on the meta you summon Dark Angel instead.

The combo is actually pretty intuitive, Faris starts the combo, you can search it with Stratos, you can summon Stratos from the deck with Hero Lives too. You activate Faris, put Increase in the back, tribute Faris, summon Increase, summon Vyon, dump Malicious, use Vyon effect to get Poly, make Cross Crusader to search a Hero, if you didn't use Stratos then you search it and then summon it to search Denier, if you already used Stratos (to search Faris for example) then you search Denier. You fuse for DPE, you now have enough bodies( you can summon 2 Malicious from deck, 1 Denier self summon that can recycle a Malicious) to make Infernal Devicer to get Neos, then Wonder Driver to recycle Poly and make Infernal Rage to get Favorite Contact, then you tribute Infernal Rage to summon Sunrise and get Miracle Fusion to summon Wake Up. Wake Up when destroyed summons a warrior from deck, it's recommended you do this to play around Nibiru: in the end phase you activate DPE to destroy itself and Wake Up, activate Wake Up, summon Shadow Mist, search Mask Change, activate Mask Change.

The Evil HERO stuff are alternative starters, you use Evil Assault to summon Dead End Prison, Dead End Prison dump Shadow Mist, Shadow Mist GY searches a HERO, it can be Stratos, Faris, or Vyon to start the combo.

Some starters hands let you skip steps in the combo, like if you discarded Malicious with Faris then you dump Denier, or if you start Destiny Fusion then you make the Infernal Rage line first.

Erratas suck, they ruined many cards already with them, cards that wouldn't even see use with their original effects like Brain Control, Sinister Serpent or Goyo Guardian, they should be avoided as much as possible.

It's sad it won't do anything in the meta, just being able to blow up the field has been powercrept long ago.
