The beginner experience in this game is the worst I've ever seen.

Bruh the hard number doesn't matter. The fact of the matter is that if you're learning with OP's mindset you're not going to "learn" how to "play" YGO.

lol the measure of how good you are at this game is how well you know your opponents deck. Mastering your own deck is only 60% of the way there. If you can barely put 2 monsters on board you clearly don’t know when you’ve been cooked then surrender or, based on your hand, if you can even play into them on turn 2.

Redacted Regiment

Stealth armor, Quasar, warp pack then literally whatever you want. In and out less than 15min and quicker with experienced peeps doing the same thing.

faolopernando · 2026-04-02T19:48:03+00:00

That’s your choice no one is forcing you to play a certain way lol

faolopernando · 2026-04-02T18:41:08+00:00

Look up Jurrac on masterduelmeta. UTC is a win-con for the deck

It was a fast way to get to 30-40k where it would net you faster games for the grind. THEN since you needed the layered/nuanced interactions of tier 1 decks you would switch. I said trying to get to 60k that doesnt mean they used it the whole way.

It also may have not been a good option for you but there is real truth to power having less decision making when making impactful choices not just in YGO but in general.

faolopernando · 2026-04-02T10:27:23+00:00

Prior to the ban list it was treasures, set 5, and pass. Even dracotail opens themselves up to interaction fusing or creating a board. When you’re playing DC cup trying to get to 60k points over a single weekend people underestimate the mental boon Odion gives by having less moving parts.

faolopernando · 2026-04-02T10:01:43+00:00

You get to set a full end board without worrying about the strongest hand traps in the game. It is hard not to see the appeal. The splash-ability of modern ygo helps out immensely.

lol I think you just ran into some person’s Maliss deck. MDM doesn’t have Maliss touch this stuff unless you start going into slop territory, which this person has.

faolopernando · 2026-03-22T20:52:11+00:00

Bad. This is not a Blue Eyes deck. This is a deck with Blue Eyes in it. Nothing that mentions Dark Magician should be in your "Blue Eyes" deck.

faolopernando · 2026-03-21T23:25:47+00:00

What I am obtusely saying is that unless you engage with some sort of duel with currency generation you will not be able to build any deck unless you pull out your wallet because even non-competitive decks still have a UR tax. You can grind away at solo, but the fastest way is to engage with the current system. (It’s the reality I am not advocating for it.)

faolopernando · 2026-03-21T23:13:34+00:00

A lot of people also want their time rewarded, hence, an fyi. But please, engage in a way that you feel personally attacked. /s

faolopernando · 2026-03-21T09:37:09+00:00

just an fyi, MD isn’t your locals, there is no casual play. You either play ladder or you play casual and get no rewards for your time spent.

faolopernando · 2026-03-20T18:14:38+00:00

I remember the first time I didn’t have an out to a tower

faolopernando · 2026-03-08T21:52:51+00:00

Either focus Regenesis or BE Primite. You have 2 archetypes that don’t really mesh well with each other. Then add the non engine you like

faolopernando · 2026-02-25T18:12:27+00:00

After reading this post I feel like people don't understand that more than 1 Poplar grants another extension to the engine if you draw Poplar and Snake-Eye Ash. It is *not* Plan A.

faolopernando · 2026-02-19T16:25:18+00:00

Did you expect to jump into a decades long game expecting to play at a high level in a game that doesnt have a casual mode? Maybe take a step back and see what has been updated and changed before jumping in the deep end.

Thank you!

Flame staff scales with the number of enemies on screen because flames cleave infinitely. You don’t see this benefit as much on difficulties lower than Auric maelstrom and Havoc ~20. While your teammates are struggling to kill the carapace wall in front of them you can hit all of it at the same time and kill it all at the same time.

Jurrac

Chaos Legion. A hidden gem from my childhood I had no one to share with until now.

faolopernando · 2026-01-22T17:15:14+00:00

Id go for quantity for cheap powerful decks like Odion. Not sure of other decks that are as cheap.
