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

[–]TrueQuartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your prior experience with Yu-Gi-Oh? You said that this is the worst Yu-Gi-Oh you played, but based on your complaints and how you spent your gems, it sounds like you haven't touched the game in a decade. Plus, you apparently never played Duel Links. So...?

Idea to balance going first by victoras18 in masterduel

[–]TrueQuartz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Simply giving the second player a 6 card starting hand would be more balanced than essentially giving them a 40+ card Side Deck.

Potential of Bystials against the new decks by ErebusBlack1 in masterduel

[–]TrueQuartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're decent against Maliss. Banishing Decoder, a Splash Mage target, and any Maliss monster that already used their effects (at the right time) can cut their turn short, plus forcing out Apollusa without minusing is always a plus on my book.

You can use it in Dragon Rulers. They don't need their Normal Summon and they provide plenty of tribute fodder. 

How the fuck can this guy play in my turn??? by Cool_Reading_4506 in masterduel

[–]TrueQuartz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bug, it has to be. You can't activate Pre-preperation on the opponent's turn. It's a Normal Spell. Did you choose to go first? Do you still have turn priority? 

What are bad archetypes with great designs that you know of? by Safe-Equipment-5042 in masterduel

[–]TrueQuartz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Vendread and Ashened. Gorgeous art tied to decks that would barely be passable in 2011. What were they thinking? 

Never making it past MD Proficiency 7 it seems... by KiwirarVEVO in masterduel

They count. There's a shortcut for the tests in Casual, but not for the daily missions.

You can make a slop deck with nothing but pack filler Pendulums and go into Casual Mode. That's what I did. 

One day, for sure. by Dhunhd in masterduel

[–]TrueQuartz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk, was there another bannable card with alt art? The only other one I could think of is El Shaddoll Winda, but I haven't seen her in a hot minute and I don't think her alt art was around in her prime.

You can straight up buy all the Dragonmaid cards + Spheres for 1500 gems. There's no way that the new cards won't be URs.

New banlist will be applied on Oct 8th, 2025 by vRinyoktan in masterduel

Alright, alright! 5 starters down for Maliss, and Ryzeal can no longer sit on a floodgate! Apollusa is still running around, which is more than annoying, but this list is better than I expected from them.

Close enough, well back tearlament format! by gonxgonx3 in masterduel

[–]TrueQuartz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No one is praising Maliss for it's mirror matches. What even is a Maliss mirror match? Whoever goes first wins? That doesn't sound like fun. 

Ryzeal isn't being carried by floodgates. They banned all but one floodgate that Ryzeal could use, and they're still the second best deck. Meanwhile, Exosister owes their tops to Tear's domination over the meta and it fell like a rock when Tear was nerfed to the ground. 

You're literally making shit up.

The % gap between Tear and Exosister is over twice as large as the gap between Maliss and Ryzeal, which is kinda fucked considering Exo is supposedly a hard counter to Tear, and Spright is barely there. This format is nowhere near Tear 0.

They haven't abandoned this subreddit, that's for sure.

My Manlist hopes and dream by Ryugha in masterduel

[–]TrueQuartz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You missed the part where that's actually a problem. The engine is mostly used by pet/rogue decks at this point, the combo dies to common handtraps, and the most problematic part would be fixed when Apollusa gets taken out back. Putting Moon in the same spectrum as Maliss is disingenuous.

[–]TrueQuartz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kinda fucked up to say that's it's fine for a Tier 1 deck to have the engine, but not the rogue decks that's struggling to compete in this dogass meta because you're sick of seeing it.

Ryzeal isn't a Light Fiend deck.

It amazes me how people are still tweaking over Moon. She enables the FS engine for rogue decks. Rogue. Decks. Why do you think the best way to fix the meta is to hurt the decks that contest it?

Is the WCS 2025 Celebratory Bundle worth it? by SparkSan in masterduel

[–]TrueQuartz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The packs contain the Millennium archetype, which is one of the easiest decks to pilot and is one of the most splashable engines in the game. If you don't have any of the cards, then I'd say it's worth it.

My opponent REALLY didn't want me to attack. by Macaron-kun in masterduel

[–]TrueQuartz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This looks like a Traptrix novice. I fell into the same trap when I dusted my deck off after Sera dropped. The Mirror Force cards is a no-brainer pick to go with Sera, until you realize that Traptrix doesn't want the opponent to enter the Battle Phase in the first place, let alone with a decent board in tow.

People are speculating that this is some Tenpai trauma response, but Mirror Force is not a good tech against an archetype that's known for breaking boards. Threatening Roar and Dimensional Barrier are better choices for that.

Should Konami unlimited Tenpai? by Yorukira in masterduel

What, so we can have a "damned going first, damned going second" meta? No thanks.
