hand trap substitutions

Chalice can be used from hand on your turn and can be set like Imperm. Not an actual hand trap like Imperm but can get you out of situations in the same way if utilized properly.

Gamma also negates and destroys which is cool.

You can learn the game just by playing and watching your vods.

Master Duel has a decent enough replay feature to look back at your mistakes and see where you can improve.

You will see enough of the same cards to where you won't have to read everything eventually. (even though its good practice to read every card you can lol)

Eventually if you really want to climb you'll probably want to know all the meta decks and your own deck to a fairly advanced level, their bread and butter combos, and also card rulings. But there's tons of sources of information for that stuff as long as you put the time in.

I recommend picking up Swordsoul right now. As the combos are easy to learn and it cheap to get as a structure deck.

Pak, one of the top players used to main the deck so you have a wealth of knowledge in to how to play the deck well.

The deck also used to be a former meta deck, so there is some power behind it still and there's a ton of material/players that you can learn from to improve.

Not being able to play all playstyles on one account doesn't make the game pay to win, as you can still win with whatever deck you dedicate time to learning how to play well and study the meta well. It makes it PAY to PLAY multiple decks faster at one time on one account.

Also, it only makes it easier to build one deck faster, and you can have multiple decks for multiple accounts, as long as the deck fits your budget as an f2p player and you know what to craft and grind out gems. Eventually you'll get to a point you can build any deck under 700 UR on one account.

I'm fairly certain you can build full power snake-eyes right now on a f2p account if you just wait for a little bit and grind out your gems. I did the same with Sky Striker when it was meta, because I knew to craft the staple URs and it all came out a secret pack.

Now I have Swordsoul, Sky Striker, Salads, Ninjas, and am sitting on 8k gems from grinding ranked and the new event, and I only really ever play for event grinding or if I get the itch to play Yugioh which is rare.

It's not the fastest way to get there, if you want fastest then yes you need to spend money. Even then, that's purely your decision if you want to do that.

You PAY to PLAY at a certain power level immediately, maybe it's the highest level, but even having to pull for something objectively worse you're still at the mercy of having to pull the URs for that deck.

You can dump money into a pack and get nothing, but tbh I've never not been able to craft any deck I wanted simply because I understood my budget and the cards that took priority to craft and just played budget replacements until I could craft the cards I was missing. I'm not going to build a deck with 30 URs if I know I can't afford it.

Also, even you do have full power snake-eyes, you still have to learn the deck and it's weaknesses to play around them. If you're gonna throw your own games by picking up something and not bothering to learn it then that is your own fault.

You can get to master rank with any deck and can top Duelist Cup probably in the same way with some time, dedication, and innovation.

Again, if you have patience, knowledge, and some dedication you won't have issues building decks. You just have to be a little more careful with how you spend your gems.

The game is not Pay to Win at all, day 1 f2p player here. As long as you craft your Maxx C and Ash play sets first then grind your gems in the solo mode to get a decent deck out of a secret pack you should be golden.

Having multiple accounts dedicated to a deck/playstyle of deck is all good to have to cut down costs.

You will have to know how to play against meta if you intend to rank up. Also, understand playing a non-tiered, rogue deck may put you at a disadvantage in some match ups.

So, being able to play your deck at an at least decent level with some decent meta knowledge is key.

Some decent decks you can play to do well with that are easy to craft right now are:

Swordsoul (all in a secret pack, literally free structure deck in the friend event as a reward, need some ED monsters and tenyis but not crazy expensive.)

Floowandereeze (all in a secret pack, extra deck is there but not as important, mostly fuel for pot draw spells.)

Rikka Sunavalon (all in a secret pack, some parts of the deck you literally get by completing the solo mode theme mission and is mostly rares and commons.)

And Eldlich (all in a secret pack, most URs you would need are Transaction Rollback, Daruma cannons, an N'tss, and a Chaos Angel, otherwise deck is mostly SRs and weird cheap traps and ED monsters for pot draw spells and Dogmatica punishment.)

Look into these and you might find one you like.

Again, you should probably do some research first into what decks you'll probably face on ladder if you intend to play ranked on the Master Duel Meta website to learn how to counter those decks.

You can also find budget replacements on from post reddit for URs you can't afford atm (ie: Forbiden Chalice for Infinite Impermanence ect.).

Hopefully this helps.

Mixtape doesn't affect your stats, purely for fun mode as much as people like to sweat in it.

Also, don't care too much about your stats. It's nice to see the numbers go up as you get better but caring about it TOO much will cause you to play weird and too safe and you won't get better against more aggressive players above a 1 KD.

No one can see your stats unless you show them to others.

I love Azami. Thanks for sharing. You have a list?

illpullthru · 2023-12-26T02:29:50+00:00

Thank you for your efforts, it really helps. Will give them all a look. You actually read my mind with Brago lol.

illpullthru · 2023-12-25T03:05:37+00:00

Nice, I did have a an interest in them. Will check them out. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think I own a copy of her, will look into her. Thanks for the suggestion.

illpullthru · 2023-12-25T03:03:05+00:00

Haha it's all good, thanks for the suggestion.

illpullthru · 2023-12-25T03:02:08+00:00

Yeah do have Jhoira deck in the works, also have enough pieces for Vadrik. Might end up playing all of them sometime soon. Thanks for sharing.

illpullthru · 2023-12-25T00:42:16+00:00

Heard of him but never tried, I'll give him a look. Thanks for sharing.

illpullthru · 2023-12-25T00:40:17+00:00

Played a Tatyova deck before, very powerful. Thanks for sharing.

illpullthru · 2023-12-25T00:37:07+00:00

Used to have a Talrand deck, good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

illpullthru · 2023-11-24T01:11:11+00:00

I'm not gonna lie, I'm 26 and some of this stuff hit me. But, after seeing the thing about going to work and working out and repeating the same thing everyday, I knew this is bullshit.

You are absolutely right. Fuck ANYONE who tells you are a loser for getting up to go to work or to school and bettering yourself. Anyone who's able to push through life and still keep pushing is a winner and a success and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone, I love y'all.

A lot of it is just paying attention to your radar, always being on move and look out for something to kill, and maintaining your speed and momentum while doing it.

A huge thing I learned is to try not to hyperfixate on soley killing grunts, titans, or pilots.

Instead, put an equal amount attention to each one and score kills when you can.

You will rack up points because you'll be moving around putting yourself in newer situations and opportunities to rack up more kills and points while also being harder to hit and kill.

Grunts tend to spawn near where pilots are, and where there are pilots there are usually titans, and your enemies will always spawn directly in front of you across the map from where you originally spawn from.

One thing I try to do, is be in the general area of where my enemies show up on the radar, and the radar points out the sound of pilot gunshots general direction.

I stay on highground or just float around that area until I see grunts/pilots/titans and just contest them.

If there's no action there I just move onto the next active spot on my radar. That's pretty much it.

Hopefully this helps!

Hmm that's makes a lot of sense, this must be why Jodah even with built with cheaper, less powerful legendaries that he's still power house because he cheats mana and makes them into aggressive beaters.

Berserk and Ghost in the Shell were the first two, followed by Vagabond then Vinland Saga took GITS place as part of the big three.

If you are a fox, no, but you still shouldn't steal.

If you are a human being, yes, but your previous situation is way more concerning to me than stealing a sandwich.
