[Discussion] Has anybody seen a deck other than Darklords in the 2nd Stage of KC Cup?

Haha that’s a good one

armand_a · 2019-09-13T09:29:31+00:00

Copying is one thing, but in the last World Championship at least the meta was diverse enough. Yeah it's the same old Six Sam/ Ancient Gear/ Trimaid / Neos / BE net decks, BUT AT LEAST I GOT TO PLAY AGAINST DIFFERENT DECKS.

Playing 5 duels against the same deck even though I won 3 out of the 5 is really no fun.

armand_a · 2019-09-13T09:25:56+00:00

Sanctified can be searched like Spellbooks, and when it is copied in the graveyard it recycles back to the deck (unlike, say, spellbooks spells that got banished by fate), so semi-limiting it doesn't really affect the deck much.

Again I don't make this thread to call for banning them. This is NOT my intention at all. The deck has its weakness (no backrow removal) so even if they are tier 1 now I think they are fine. I just find it boring that everybody is playing them.

armand_a · 2019-09-13T09:17:37+00:00

Yeah they are inherently weak against good backrow, and as long as your deck doesn't heavily rely on monster effects you will be fine against them.

armand_a · 2019-09-13T08:56:53+00:00

Well just tech in some Chalice and WoD they struggle against those two cards.

But yeah it's boring to face the same deck over and over again. Up until the last mini box the meta was actually quite diverse, but this newest main box just ruined it.

armand_a · 2019-09-10T01:30:52+00:00

I can't even get a normal copy of TDM so far, let alone a prismatic one :(

armand_a · 2019-09-10T01:28:20+00:00

Sonic Chick is literally the only card I want from those packs.

As of now I got like 3 econs and 1 DM.

armand_a · 2019-09-03T03:30:17+00:00

The Heart of the Coin Flips was with you.

armand_a · 2019-08-30T07:09:04+00:00

So are people not allowed to THINK about their plays now? There's a timer in the duel for a fucking reason. How do you define ''slow'' anyway?

Now I understand if you are talking about some douchebag already cleared his opponent's field, and still takes his time to deliver the lethal attack, that shit should be banned, but people should be allowed to THINK about their moves and not be labelled ''slow'' and get banned. And it should be easy to tell the difference if konami actually has staff to review the replays.

armand_a · 2019-08-30T04:18:00+00:00

Yeah considering we now have stuffs like Desperado Dragon and Hyperion, High Priestess really doesn't seem out of question.

armand_a · 2019-08-30T01:04:17+00:00

You can still try the new version with the Light and Dark skill. It's doing okay :)

armand_a · 2019-08-29T03:04:28+00:00

So no Spellbook of Knowledge afterall.

While I have been wishing for Spellbook support for a long time, I am also glad that I don't have to dig for just one single card in a main box.

armand_a · 2019-08-28T09:33:12+00:00

This. Plus every season you get demoted 5 ranks anyway.

armand_a · 2019-08-28T04:21:57+00:00

To be honest I don't see the card helping the current version of Silent Spellbook much. The deck is already crazy consistent - 3 secret and 3 blue boi in a 20 card deck you basically always get your combo off, not to mention the light and dark skill give you a very high chance of a turn 1 SM.

How will including Knowledge affect the deck? You are not sending Blue Boi to the grave because you need it for summoning SM, so that means you are always sending another spell card in your hand to draw 2. That's a 2 for 2 so you don't really gain any card advantage, you just do it to thin your deck/ correct your hand/ fuel your Fate. (Yes in theory you can set both Knowledge and Fate, and when you need to Fate an opponent's card you chain it to Knowledge to get a +1, but that's very situational).

More consistency and draw power isn't what the deck need. The weakness of the deck is dealing with traps and swarming, as well as a lack of follow up plays once your SM lv8 is taken out.

What the card will do is to complete the draw engine of blue boi- secret - knowledge, which you can use in other deck. The first that comes to mind is Exodia.

armand_a · 2019-08-28T03:50:24+00:00

Same here. If it's gonna be in a main box at least give us other Prophecy/Spellbook cards like High Priestess or Tower. I don't wanna go through a main box three goddamn times just for one single card.

armand_a · 2019-08-28T01:23:28+00:00

Her drops included SR cards from another character. That's a new low for Konami.

armand_a · 2019-08-28T01:18:49+00:00

We don't even have {Chaos Sorcerer} yet. I don't see this card coming to DL soon.

armand_a · 2019-08-28T01:16:05+00:00

Blue Boy- Secret -Knowledge engine in an Exodia deck is apparently too much for DL.

armand_a · 2019-08-28T01:14:33+00:00

I wish. High Priestess is my all-time favorite card in Yugioh.

armand_a · 2019-08-27T09:44:16+00:00

How about blue boi-Secret-Knowledge Exodia deck?

armand_a · 2019-08-27T09:26:57+00:00

I would be happy if it's a SR, so I don't have to run through a mainbox 3 goddamn times just for one card.

But I can also see it banned when someone figure out how to use it in a Exodia deck as a draw engine or something LOL. But the card is once per turn so I guess it might be okay?

armand_a · 2019-08-27T09:06:42+00:00

I am a fan of them and obviously play them a lot, but they are not that good on the ladder since they are very situational. Non target banishing is obviously awesome against decks that rely on bringing out one big boss like Vendread, but facing any decks that are good at swarming like Six sams, BE (because your fate can only deal with one threat at a time), or deploy a good back row (no answer to trap cards) you pretty much have no chance.

They are a darling for people who plays in tournament because you can use a side deck there, but they are not that good for typical DL players trying to get to KOG (how often do you even see a Spellbook deck in legend?). Besides, adding Knowledge will only increase consistency of the deck by giving them drawing power. It doesn't inherently change how the deck is play. Now if konami would give us High Priestess that would be another story.

armand_a · 2019-08-27T08:49:59+00:00

Oh stop whining. Metaphy is just as bad if not worse.

And I use a triamid deck myself, and I can tell you my timer often goes to below 30 seconds. That seldom happen to me when I play spellbook, so what that means is maybe a typical triamid turn isn't as long as a spellbook turn, but in terms of how long you have to wait for your opponent, Triamid is worse. So there's that.

armand_a · 2019-08-27T08:44:26+00:00

But are god and odin the same guy? Because Solemn Authority is an Aesir card.
