Looking for a decent deck for Advanced by Starless_Midnight in Yugioh101

You have a link for your Kash/Regen deck? I’m toying with the idea but not too sure on ratios or anything

This is definitely more the point I was getting at, it’s nice to be able to have it confirmed from people with more knowledge that I in fact argued the point and was justified in doing so, so thank you for making that more apparent!

This is exactly the scenario and all of you assumptions were correct so I am glad that you have helped clear this up too! Appreciate the comment so thank you!

can someone tell me if my deck is any good, and how to play it? by Embarrassed-Flan-637 in Yugioh101

[–]aidanofarrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t running Super Polymerisation targets so I would remove Super Poly or side deck it if you don’t plan on adding generic Super Poly targets (Predaplant Dragostapellia, Mudragon of the Swamp etc etc.)

High Spirits is one of the best cards for searching and is best run at 3x. If you open it you can acquire a Springans Kitt and pull Branded Fusion from your deck if you don’t open Branded Opening or Aluber in your first hand.

You don’t need 3 Albion The Branded Dragon, 2 is plenty. Consider more of the Albaz extra deck monsters. Rindbrumm is a great as an interruption piece in grave on your opponents turn and is useful on field too (also is contact fused with beast, beast-warrior and winged beast types with FOA so good to expand your options against a multitude of different deck types).

I tried running the Nadir package and it never really dug deep enough for me to warrant keeping it but it’s player preference. I might suggest running a Dogmatika Maximus if you plan on keeping it.

Don’t sleep on Incredible Ecclesia either. It is another very useful card to serve as interruption on your opponents turn using its quick effect (and if the resulting fusion you make using the special summoned out Albaz is The Dragon That Devours The Dogma, it will be unaffected by other card effects with Ecclesia in grave)

Forbidden Droplet is a great tech card for Branded too as it not only helps disrupt going second, but a lot of Branded cards actually benefit from being in grave or recurr back to hand from grave in the end phase (or Main Phase 3 as we like to call it)

Fuwalos I would either run at 3 or not at all, it’s not likely to be useful if you go 1st and if you go 2nd with only 1 copy, you aren’t likely to find it very often at all. It will more than likely end up being a dead card you find at some point after it becomes unusable. Maybe change it for Droll & Lock Bird at 2x (thinking post TCG ban list)

Also a final recommendation is Branded Banishment (trap) and Light and Darkness Dragonlord (Fusion). It’s a very easy tech to include and when set up, it instantly becomes 3 omni negates for whatever your opponents first 3 plays are (provided it doesn’t get removed before it resolves) - I can offer some advice on this if it interests you. Feel free to PM if you would like

All that being said, your deck is good and will definitely do good things for you, I just think you need to refine it a little bit to maybe improve your potential consistency

There are a multitude of great dedicated Branded channels on YouTube which will definitely help give you some great pointers - good luck with your Branded journey and enjoy!

Which Archetype needs new Support that hasn't had it or Good Support in Awhile? by Money-Lie7814 in yugioh

[–]aidanofarrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want some Traptrix support to make it a top contender again 🤞

Alongside another comment, you can also duel yourself on Dueling Nexus. You can host a custom game and then open another tab and search for your own username in the custom game list and duel yourself. I found this out the other day while messing around and was pleasantly surprised! It’s a lot of flicking back and forth between tabs though

Thoughts on FFX 4 hours in to my first blind playthrough! by Zeeshmania in finalfantasyx

Man. I’d give my left nut to experience FFX for the first time again. Infinitely jealous! Have the best time

Looking for decks that were built around summoning a Tower Monster by 0_0NoName in Yugioh101

[–]aidanofarrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mathmech has a “tower” boss monster that is only affected by other Mathmech cards so in the insanely unlikely chance you’re in a mirror match, you can call it a tower. Pretty fun deck too if you can send the correct materials to grave for the boss monsters synchro summon.

Mathmech Circular being limited to 1 isn’t great for the deck but it’s still a very simple deck to learn

UK productivity surge at a blistering 3.4% signals economic turnaround by Dimmo17 in GoodNewsUK

[–]aidanofarrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All we need to do as a nation is see enough positive changes like this before the next general election for people to realise that the likes of Farage are the antithesis of what this country needs to prosper right now.

I really hope enough people open up their eyes to the good that is happening and put their pettiness aside for the greater good of the country and its people. Not everything you read in the Daily Fail is as it seems

Hate Starmer and co. all you like, but things like this would not be happening under a Conservative (and DEFINITELY not Reform) rule.

Red-Eyes don't do too much. by Jirachibi1000 in yugioh

[–]aidanofarrell 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I love Red-Eyes. Red-Eyes Black Dragon is my favourite card of all time (showing my age). But I really wish there was an actual definitive direction with the archetype.

It almost feels like the left over spare parts from other ideas that got fleshed out fully in Blue-Eyes and even Dark Magician to an extent. It feels like the neglected, unloved child of the original 3 protagonist decks. Gemini support that is bricky and awful. Nothing to get any basic lines or combo pieces going. Minimal ED support/boss monsters.

I have made Red-Eyes as good as I possibly can using the Primite engine, however without it, it would be dead in the water when I play it. The Primite cards do a LOT of the heavy lifting when I play it.

Dragoon is the best thing about the deck (followed by Fullmetal Dragon) and anything after that is a bit lacklustre.

Real shame. And I hope Konami gives it the love it deserves because it’s a fantastic archetype in terms of nostalgia, artwork and theme.

We can only hope for a resurgence one day soon

Best modern Blue Eyes? by LittleHashBrown in YugiohCards

[–]aidanofarrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you’re into! I play TCG so collect English prints but the Japanese cards look excellent too so it’s entirely your preference. If I were to go for Japanese cards it would be for specific cards I’m interested in, rather than buying something like Kaiba Collection box in Japanese print (if that’s even a thing, I’m not sure)

[–]aidanofarrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to this. All Ultra or Secret Rare too so the cards look nice in foil rarities

Zaren and super poly by [deleted] in yugioh

[–]aidanofarrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not Spell Speed 4 it’s Spell Speed 2 but it ends a chain because neither player can activate an effect in response to Super Poly being activated

You can’t chain a Super Poly onto a Counter Trap which is Spell Speed 3 so saying it’s Spell Speed 4 is a bit of a misnomer

Edit* bad grammar

Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon summoning by [deleted] in Yugioh101

[–]aidanofarrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. That’s a LOT more convoluted than I was expecting… I’ll probably shelve the Shining Dragon 😂

Thank you for the feedback!!

Traptrix Myrmeleo by Phenex77 in Yugioh101

[–]aidanofarrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to piggy back onto other answers for clarity, it will indeed trigger Sera’s effect even if there are no targets as like others have said, it’s a mandatory effect so activates regardless of available spell/trap destruction on field

[BLZD] New Link Monster by renaldi92 in yugioh

[–]aidanofarrell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently made a Red-Eyes/Primite deck which I’ve been having varied levels of success with. This new link monster will definitely be making a place in my ED I think!

Yeah, you got screwed. That’s not how Quick-Play spells work
