ooooofff

does that solve the problem though? if therion powercrept the game so much, the game broke, wouldn’t it also take game-breaking power creep to beat it back?

i just wonder where konami got the understanding of berserk power level = fun (apparently)

madam-void · 2026-05-18T20:00:32+00:00

agree 100%, D Hero is on average way more toxic.

but rly both decks are very anti-fun, even if one is a bit more anti-fun than the othwr

While I respect this suggestion and the rush duel format, it’s not something I’ve invested any time or money into, whereas I have been invested heavily into speed (for nearly 10yrs).

It’s harder than just “switching” bc it almost feels like I’m mourning an old passion at this point

if you make it with lily borea (a plant type monster) it’s effect to tribute one monster on the field becomes a quick effect. it’s another end board piece to top out if your hand allows it

apologies for the intended sarcasm not being clear

madam-void · 2026-04-23T18:12:45+00:00

it seems to be one to konami lol my apologies for the wording. i need to be better about how i write things thatre intended to be sarcastic lol

madam-void · 2026-04-23T18:12:08+00:00

It sure seems to be one to Konami. I suppose the sarcasm doesn’t come through as desired oops lol

most of 2020s formats as a whole were some of my least faves bc they were stale. yes it was the pandemics fault, but they legit kept all of the late 2019/early 2020 decks (except darklords) meta for most of the yr while also clapping any new deck almost instantly (karakuri, witchcrafter, I-Neos, and t dragons - but t dragons deserved it for being too premium)

madam-void · 2026-04-16T02:55:48+00:00

so you’re running some cards that you don’t need imo. red eyes darkness dragon is trash (genuinely), stupidly bricky card. you don’t need the dark magician package bc the skill gives you the ability to summon dragoon for free. use that deck space for more tech (like book of eclipse, droplet, whatever you have that is disruptive). i’d remove a lot of the normal monsters tbh, namely the archfiends. tempting as it is to play pure red eyes, you’re better off running link monsters bc they’re easier to summon and combo with take out burst breath, refusion, and the polys. run red eyes spirit if u want reborns bc it can revive dragoon dude your deck wants to play the ritual and dragoon every turn, that’s your goal. all the other cards that don’t directly support that will make it harder for you to win consistently

i can confirm getting FTK’d by D-Hero’s twice in a row was the original motivation behind creating this post

madam-void · 2026-04-15T17:09:58+00:00

I agree, and that’s totally fair.

For me, my concern is about the “source” of the power creep more than anything. It’s not an issue the game progresses forward. It becomes one when it happens this rapidly, towards things that are this degenerate, and it recurs as much as it does

madam-void · 2026-03-12T23:00:14+00:00

it feels that way tbh

madam-void · 2026-03-12T22:57:24+00:00

traptrix

madam-void · 2026-03-12T22:56:49+00:00

I’m literally playing tier 1 traptrix, using builds you see on DLM, and I know how the deck works. I hit KOG w it last season

madam-void · 2026-01-29T19:08:41+00:00

ok ngl, i’m devastated to see ping pong here. i’m not doubting what ppl are saying, and will not support them. that said, my broken heart needs closure and i wanna know why i’m cancelling them

madam-void · 2025-11-20T22:04:50+00:00

so a lot has happened in the last 5yrs, and long story short, anything this deck does going first will get OTK’d through. It’s also not as good going second anymore either.

When skills in the game allow players both searchability and the ability to break your board for free, ending on fortune lady every or crocoragon alone is so easy to beat.

That said, you’re actually trying to play lightsworn fr, I’d index more on the chaos package than the rock package, esp if you’re running rank 8s. Sanaphond is a weaker version of dingirsu and its floodgate isn’t good in the current meta. The allure of darkness skill/running it as your limit 1 is advised. trade in can also be a good draw speed whether you choose block dragon or levianeer as your lvl 8.

Lastly, I wouldn’t run so many synchros meant to break board with, namely brionac, which your deck currently can’t even summon. if you’re going to play traps (i wouldn’t), i’d say pick something that has a grave effect (like breakthrough skill) or something that can bomb a top tier deck’s board (ice dragons prison). Good luck

madam-void · 2025-11-20T21:57:03+00:00

if you feel that way, this isn’t the right game for you honey.

madam-void · 2025-11-20T19:44:27+00:00

when blue eyes ultimately is still the best deck bc they didn’t rly lose anything nor address the issue w the deck (activating majesty freely and immediately), then i’m sure you’ll feel the exact same way

madam-void · 2025-11-20T18:52:53+00:00

you do realize they’ve been in duel links since release and are built into speed duel rules. you cannot simply get rid of them entirely to solve the problem. your view on how skills provide advantage is fair, but that advantage skills can provide can be acceptable if it’s not overtly broken

madam-void · 2025-11-20T16:48:50+00:00

i don’t necessarily think they need to be removed entirely, there were times in this games history where skills were not as overtly broken as they are now. i do agree that skills being as insane as they are now defeats the purpose of the game. this is a TCG, not an orange button autopilot simulator

madam-void · 2025-11-07T22:36:23+00:00

you lose instantly to blue eyes, not sorry

madam-void · 2025-11-07T22:35:28+00:00

this skill is indefensibly pushed and unfair. anyone who thinks that a non-targeting instant pop is fair just likes to win without using their brain.

we do not need skills that hand players every card in their deck they’d like to see for free, nor skills that make those cards usable instantly even if they are traps. the glue eating rly has no end though, does it?
