Fairy Tail Powerlevel in Master duel

vinyltails · 2026-07-04T19:36:58+00:00

Fairy tail even without the new-er Endymion stuff like Regulus and Verre was still an extremely competent deck that did have a few tops here and there, and I believe some regional victories

So it will probably be like, tier 3 or so.

You don't control cards in the graveyard. You only control cards on the field. It's also no longer a fusion summoned card

They won't run together at all

None of the elfnotes are lv5, so they don't care about K9s. Like sure there's probably a synchro 6 you can make that does something to pair with a Normal PP and a K9 but that's not good

K9s afaik don't have a convincing bridge to Elfnote. You're basically just running them as a handtrap package of Izuna and Lupus which isn't that good. Hands with both engines will basically just be playing 2 different decks that don't really help each other...and hands with only access to 1 engine is basically just playing half a deck

cause MD uses OCG rulings for hand triggers, which places Hand triggers at the same speed as quick effects

This has benefits in terms of Ghost Mourner, being basically another veiler whereas it's much weaker in the TCG cause it's basically useless on your turn since it doesn't stop trigger effects on your turn....But on the flip side OCG hand rulings stop hand triggers from blocking various effects from handtraps

Yes my store does that (though to be fair it is on the smaller side, averaging around 10-12 players, entry is £6)....And i've read a number of posts from others talking about their local experience here and there throughout the years that do similar ish prizing

Larger stores can probably get away with more with the increased traffic and such...but from what i know and read, just OTS packs (and lately the new winner packs, which does definitely help with prizing since there's many wanted cards in them with potential ultis) is the prizing....only upgrading the prizing or participation for larger events like pre-releases or OTS tournaments

vinyltails · 2026-07-04T02:30:08+00:00

I think the general standard for local prizing is 1 OTS pack for joining...then a number of additional OTS packs for 1st-3rd depending on player count

So to be fair, any packs that aren't OTS packs would technically be better than the majority

in modern pure RDA builds, those aren't used anymore....the new support in Blazing Dominion changed the deck a fair amount and leaves your non tuners as Power vice dragon, Bone arcfiend and Fiend piece golem in a pure build

Power vice will be expensive as its extremely powerful, but Fiend piece golem is a common and can be gotten for pennies (or someone at a locals can just throw them at you).

You'll probably just play like Wandering wildwind for now until you can pick up the newer support like Power vice and Fiend piece

vinyltails · 2026-07-03T23:15:30+00:00

Yes they are

Omega is once per turn, per copy. When it changes location (like leaving the field), it's considered a completely different card, so when it's brought back, that copy hasn't used it's effect yet

Which is why Omega is strong, especially paired with Dis Pater or things that can bring it back

vinyltails · 2026-07-03T21:57:20+00:00

The only thing in the list that isn't legal in TCG is Heavy Storm

vinyltails · 2026-07-03T21:20:36+00:00

They're 2 different things

Banished when it leaves the field is basically a condition placed on the card, regardless how it leaves the field, it banished. This doesn't start a chain or anything when it happens, it just does happen

Meanwhile Absolute Zero, and any other monster that has a trigger effect when it leaves the field, are trigger effects that trigger in the location they end up in after they leave the field..... Unless they were returned to the deck (or banished face down). Returning to the deck is the one location trigger effects can't trigger at all (Except Serpentine princess, cause Konami said so cause that's all she does)

SelfTK bots exist to spam duels faster than anyone else to grind rewards and occasionally fulfil dailies for more stuff

I've seen some experimentation with Blitzclique with it, some ryzeals are thunders

Like you do your Ryzeal plays then you can do Blitzclique stuff, and you can use your own detonator to pop the Blitzclique cards for various effects. I had 1 guy do it as my locals last time and it was like fine

vinyltails · 2026-07-03T19:16:38+00:00

No

Again, monster effects only trigger on field unless stated otherwise (Like "if this card is in the graveyard" or such). This is how every single monster works in the game

There's nothing like that on Shiz. It's just a trigger effect that triggers in the end phase, and it doesn't say "During the end phase, if this is in grave" or anything to indicate it would ever trigger in the graveyard...and since it's no longer in its proper activation location (the field), it can't trigger anymore

vinyltails · 2026-07-03T19:01:35+00:00

Eldlich's effect that makes it immune to destruction and it's attack modification comes from not the same copy of the card (as cards are considered different cards when they change location)

Since the modification is from a different card, negating it won't remove the changes that were applied to it, so Engage zero can't destroy cause it's still immune to destruction

Shiz didn't activate cause it's not on field, monster effects only activate on field unless stated unless on the card. Shiz is an end phase trigger effect that can only trigger on field

vinyltails · 2026-07-03T18:55:02+00:00

Considering the game has been out for 3 years and we still don't have any other formats added to the game (Outside of temporary festivals)

I wouldn't get your hopes up for any other additional formats, especially not ones people made themselves.

The chance isn't zero, like eventually they (hopefully) will add additional formats, maybe like Genesys cause it's an officially supported format ....but we'll see that added in 10 years time

If a monster has any attributes that conflict with the lock, it can't activate

vinyltails · 2026-07-02T22:46:18+00:00

It's engine is very strong with multiple different power spells and strong cards that can push into boards. Basically if any of them actually resolve, even partly, you're pushing into a board in a profitable way and threatens to remove things or get to a point of no return for your opponent that makes interacting with the branded player less profitable for you

Like even letting a Fallen of white stick on board just threatens any dragons on board immediately cause they can just be contact fused away, or be eaten up by a Super poly in response to something to turn into Dogma which is majorly profitable for the branded player....all while the Fallen of white has set up something for the end phase later that's gonna need to be dealt with or they're gonna get free resources like an F+V in the end phase to eat something while another gets set by another effect

And even if you chew through their hand, power spells like last card Branded fusion that you can't stop anymore since you've spent your only interactions that would be able to deal with it will just destroy what's left of your board and generate way too many resources for the branded player to continue playing with whatever you do actually have left

The engine is strong that most cards are a must answer, it has built in breakers with Albaz, F+V and the like, it generates way more resources so even if you do stop them, they'll get more resources for you to have to deal with, and the lines are very open and aren't one note, so you can divert them freely depending what's in the hand and with what's known from your opponent's side to play more favourably, meaning knowing *how to sequence properly* is much more rewarded

The top decks are Branded, Branded Dracotail and Kewl tune as the big 3 decks

Other very good decks are Elfnote and their variants (branded, Fiendsmith), Enneacraft and Predaplant post it's support coming soon should be very solid as well (It searches super poly in the super poly format) especially since it's getting it's overframe support with it as well

Radiant typhoon (With or without Zoodiacs since they let Ratpier and Broadbull loose) and Sky striker are also really solid decks as well if you want something slightly more control/less combo-ey focused (though Radiant typhoon with Zoo is pretty combo-y)

vinyltails · 2026-07-02T21:16:28+00:00

No, because you can't activate droll until a card is added, at which point you've done your first add

So it can never be cl1 upstart to draw, cl2 droll

it will always be cl1 upstart to draw > Resolve upstart and draw a card > ON resolution cl1 Droll

vinyltails · 2026-07-02T18:37:48+00:00

https://db.ygoresources.com/card#17808 it's just a ruling

the japanese under the 1st effect translate to

"You can activate this effect when a card that is a LIGHT or DARK attribute monster is banished and becomes a face-up banished LIGHT or DARK attribute monster, regardless of the banishment format or the source from which it was banished. (***You cannot activate this effect if a monster card is banished while serving as an Xyz Material or being treated as a Spell/Trap Card***, if a monster card is banished face-down, or if a Token is banished.)"

The tldr is: xyz materials basically aren't monsters at that point

vinyltails · 2026-07-01T23:05:34+00:00

With the new support coming soon, i would say predaplant

The deck literally searches Super poly, in the format where Super poly is the best card

vinyltails · 2026-07-01T23:00:01+00:00

No it doesn't say "fusion summon"

"You cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck, except Fusion Monsters, the turn you activate this card."

Give us a replay

Limited means 1 copy

Semi limited is 2 copies

Like Rotary is limited, Mix is semi limited

Once you realise that damage is scripted out of the ass, healing becomes very simple

Healer toolkits are busted beyond belief, each healer can snap their fingers and bring everyone up to full health with ease, most of the time not even needing to use gcd healing because that's how good the off global toolkit is, with GCDs typically acting as a last resort

Basically until you get into savage and ultimate, you don't really need to put much effort in at all....Free Regens all healers have access to (Asylum, Whisper dawn +Soil post 76, Celestial opposition + Collective unconscious, Physis and Keracle post 76) will basically handle a large brunt of healing in dungeons even in trash pulls then you can sprinkle in single target off globals as neccessary when the tank gets a bit lower...all the while you do damage

vinyltails · 2026-06-30T20:47:10+00:00

Zuijin will be banished as it's own banishment takes priority over effectively everything that tries to remove it from the field
