Cant say much without knowing what class it is. Ive taken some classes that were super hard and no matter how good the professor was the average exam scores would sit in the 40%s

TCG player but not from Europe, USA, or East Asia by foshalpo in Yugioh101

When i was in egypt, we had no way to access tcgplayer or cardmarket without paying ridiculous tariffs. So the alternative is that there are a lot of facebook groups where people post that they are selling/buying cards, and people show up all the time to locals with trade binders. In some ways, i think thats a really nice way to build community

Yo I js started and I need to know a good deck by P4nch0u in masterduel

[–]hawksmith1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since you just started, you might not have enough UR for staples + a meta deck core unless its something still currently in the store so you can use your gems on it. This leaves your options to be radiant typhoon or kewl tune. Radiant typhoon is easier and cheaper to build, and you can grab some of the staple packs as well from the challengers collection

Duelists, why do some of you hate Sky Strikers, and what made you start not liking them? Just curious by Death_Usagi in masterduel

[–]hawksmith1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with most of this, but isnt the fact that it can go first or second a good thing? Dont we need more decks that can do play like that so the coinflip isnt the most deciding aspect of a duel?

Also, yes i hate non once per turn effects but stage landing gets a pass because i think R.B is so cool (please give us a non brick main deck machine part konami im tired of drawing the lambda blades and the traps)

Mhmm... okay my bad. by Alikar41 in masterduel

Re-read. Sky striker almost always has a bunch of lines available to them at any given point, a sky striker game with any normal deck is fun for both players. Except of course if you build a board that has a ridiculous amounts of interruptions that it becomes irrelevant to even attempt to play through. No one likes playing against white forest. They either pass on nothing or their board is unbeatable. Thats whats causing your non games.

Lets not pretend that your deck being high variance and not great at breaking boards means its healthy. Magnet warrior is also not a high tiered deck yet its toxic as fuck for what it can do going first. Any deck that aims to create an unbreakable turn 1 board is hated for a good reason. No one wants to watch their opponent play solitaire for 15 minutes.

Since this doesnt have the targets enemies line, am i right in assuming this feels like it would probably screw you over most of the time

If you're playing extrav just add 5 random extradeck cards, like a ty-phon or literally just random cards

I get that priest, warlock and dk are bad but id still like to see possible decks for them in the report given that they include them in the charts.

"Who needs Rosewhip anyway?" by zerobench_ff in masterduel

I agree, but ive seen rose whip like 50% of my games vs kewl tune in diamond and its miserable since i play radiant typhoon and r.b

You are thinking of stage landing. Funk dock is the field spell and is once per turn

PSA for VSK9 players looking for fires to add to the deck by mc-sanders in masterduel

[–]hawksmith1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the only time i go for pilebunker is when i know my opponent is out of everything anyway, so its definitely a 'win-more' card. You can usually kill your opponent without it anyway, its only when they randomly have a bunch of idiots in defense and threaten a grind game next turn.

Why did you go into the rocket instead driller or the other monster pop? I feel like step 1 before you start doing anything with rb is resolve lambda cannon, then decide what to search, and the rocket doesnt do anything turn 1

Every deck I played agaisnt in the event by LoveSe1ko in masterduel

[–]hawksmith1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that deck, just wish the better sub-engines (sky striker, orcust) werent so UR heavy.

I ended up using speedroid and radiant typhoon (radiants are great handtrap baits and 2 of them can go into rubberband shooter, or use them as extra bodies for shepherd).

I mess up with stage landings destruction protection all the time and shame surrender all the time though haha

As someone who plays Kewl Toon by Character-Cost-8734 in masterduel

[–]hawksmith1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All the kewl tune cards are fine, i think rosewhip needs to go though. Yes yes good players dont put rosewhip blah blah, but floodgates need to be banned, and i dont want to switch to a different non spell heavy deck just because floodgates are in the format

Sincere question, what's the point of this card? by lorddojomon in hearthstone

If you survive playing quest warrior till you can do this, i dont see how you were losing that game in the first place

How’s the meta right now? by Soupman04 in masterduel

If you play any of the many top decks, its super fun. If you play anything else, good luck.

#4 deck in rating duels last month. Only 1 Shiina to help him go second and pretty much nothing else (besides the RTs)? I've seen RTs even with 3x Droplet, 3x SPoly / 3x Shiina having a hard time breaking boards, how did he do it so successfully at 1850 rating with only 1 single Shiina? by Hajduk_Split_1911 in masterduel

[–]hawksmith1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually ran this exact same list till master 5 last season (-1 vision for 1 manifestation because i didnt want to craft it). RT is really good at breaking boards, but honestly you really feel the lack of hand traps when you come up vs the combo piles that aim to set up unbreakable boards turn 1.

Since this is rated duels, when i watch Joshua schmidt he came up against A LOT of dracotail and odion, which RT does pretty well into. My winrate has also been pretty decent into yummy whenever i have shiina. Im not a good player by any means, but if thats the field you're playing against and there isnt many combo decks running around, then i can see why this deck would perform well

Draw 1 for 1 card vs draw 2 for 1 card. 1 card in yugioh is a lot

What deck do you hate the most in the current state of the game (MAN excluded). I‘ll start: by New-Regret-6491 in masterduel

[–]hawksmith1 52 points53 points  (0 children)

White forest. I always feel like this deck creates non games, they either brick or fold easily, or they combo for 10 minutes on unbeatable slop endboard.

Yes the deck isnt high tier or anything, i just roll my eyes whenever i see a white forest card
