Curious but what do you all think about timelord decks? ive gotten some heat for playing them at locals and stuff but i think a lot of people dont realize all the stuff you can do with them, which deck type would you consider them?
If you can't remember combo's literally just write them down step by step and memorize it. You gotta study for all kinds of things so why not study these combo's you find hard to manage. Then just play through them slowly and develop muscle memory and even say what you're doingo outloud. All good tips to get the combo's compartmentalized.
Ive found that when trying to learn a combo or a combo deck, the best thing is to play with a friend and play like the Anime (not THAT dramatic), explaining outloud everything you do. It has helped me a few times where i was about to do a misplay and by explaining it to my friend during the game, i myself realized i was about to misplay.
@@jiroweiler5883 good advice! Verbalizing what you are doing really helps lock down the combos in your memory, it’s also great to play with someone who will let you take back plays to practice and practice online
What interests me is dragons love dragon in and out of yugioh I very been trying to make a deck of pure dragons loved the rulers with darkness metal when they were legal lately I've been playing zarc its not pure dragons but my boss monsters are dragons if yall happen to see this do yal have any ideas for pure dragon? No rokkets either lol
When you think you've found a deck you think you like, and you don't exactly want to just drop the money immediately for it, I recommend practicing the deck in an online version first :) Protect the castle is also a deck strategy for people ;)
Aqua Chicken Like Bujins... That was a fun deck to play until Kaiser Colosseum got banned. But I guess I wouldn't have realised that I liked Stun/Combo strategies if it wasn't banned. Also testing out a deck online before you buy it is a great piece of advice. I'm glad you mentioned it.
Nah ima just stick with playing online and staying there forever. I have been playing online even before covid-19. Mainly cuz there arent any of those yugioh shops and also cuz none of my friends play Yugioh so i usually just play online.
A deck I happened to fall in love with is Blackwings, and no, the anime didn't inspire me to play the deck. The deck just has this absolutely incredible feel to me and I love to play it every chance I get
Blackwings is a deck I love as well, and admittedly my love started from the 5Ds anime when I was younger i started competitive yugioh around 2 years ago and I’ve stuck with Blackwings since because it’s just a fun deck to play with that can really do well competitively if you know the combos.
I love my Blue-eyes/Red-Eyes dragon. All my friends said it would never work and it's going to be unbalanced.. but once they faced it, they said they were wrong. You just have the right cards. And once I learn, if I learn, pendulums and links it could be regional competitive potential.
I’m playing a archfiend from dark crisis with floodgates and I’ve been winning a lot of matches and I’ve lost matches too but for how I made my deck I really enjoy the control aspect of my deck
Great vid. Been working on my old relinquished deck. Bangs out thousand eyes restrict first turn as often as not. Got millennium eyes restrict, 2 Millennium eyes illusinists, and a relinquished anima coming by next week. Should round out the deck nicely and have it slaying casually.
Combo-Decks and OTK-Decks aren't neccessarily the same. Sure, an uninterrupted Gouki-Board kills you with ease, but OTK-Decks often are less combo-heavy and get to the point faster. Hieratics for example (in their prime) killed you just by using roughly 5 cards of their deck. A similar thing can be seen on the upcoming Palladion Archetype that comes out in Cybernetic Horizon.
I like to focus on ATK power ups and field wipes/banishing cards. I'm using an old deck and made it into a DM deck. I dont plan on taking it above casual play from what I hear it would get rekted.
A deck I love to play is Synchrons which are the first archetype I ever used. It was in my first starter deck which was Duelist Toolbox. My current version of the deck includes cards from it. I love how it is really graveyard dependant. The only expensive cards in it are PSY-Framelord Omega and 2 copies of Ghost Ogre.
I love playing Toons! I love to attack at will without any worry of what you might have on the back or how many monsters you might have. The challenge is protecting toon kingdom. But, I do have a nice strategy going to do just that! Toons are heavy hitters and hard to break if you play the deck right. However, you cannot just play straight toons. You have to combine them with some type of support. For example, I play kaiju's and man!!! They are scary when you combine them with toons! Plus super fun to play.
I started playing Yu-Gi-Oh again through duel links a few months ago. I haven’t played in irl in a long time and duel links has me really wanting to experience it again! I recently came across the channel and found this video really helpful! I’ve made my own Aromage deck in duel links and have so much fun playing it. Think I’ll start looking at building an irl deck for some locals fun. Thanks guys!
Galaxy-Eyes. I tried many Decks when I first started playing back in 2009 but none of them actually seemed to match my playing style. But when I tested Galaxy-Eyes out for a couple of casual plays with my friends, I knew that I found a perfect Deck for myself.
I use a variety of decks. My current favorites are aromages with the lockdown potential and all of a sudden destroying the board. I also have an otk capable blue eyes (chaos and chaos max) deck that's really fun and easy. I have the most fun and feel most satisfied with simple combos but I like fluffals too so I guess, like ramp decks, I’m a jack of all trades, master of none.
The deck I play is Dark Magicians, not because it’s Yugi’s card, Dark Magician was one of the first cards I ever got so there is a bit of sentiment there. Also, my deck build feels like the right amount of Aggression and Control that it feels like I’m never lacking in either, and I always just feel confident in my cards. I can’t really explain it. I just always feel confident in my playstyle.
I really like monarchs. I’m just getting back into the game after a good 5 or 6 years. At that time syncros were just getting popular. I currently run a domain monarch but looking to transform my old school dark world deck into a nice rogue anti meta deck.
I really enjoy playing decks that have a good recovery game and can pull monsters quickly. I love when duels have various twists and turns, I don't really get to enjoy playing that much if ends too fast
and option number 1 definitely resonates with me! I'm just absolutely in love with going wombo combo. Almost every deck I build is meant to just combo off! I just can't get enough of spamming link monsters and making massive boards
I think any deck can be modified to any style depending on how you build it. Engines of a deck can completely change the typical strategy of that deck.
For the middle ground, play Lyrilusc Kuriboh. Lyrilusc can easily make an 1100 ark Assembled while Kuri can just stop you from getting OTK’d. A good small play is to act Rainbows 2nd then chain battle fader which stops the BP and gives you material for next turn.
I've loved Dragons all my life. So the 2 decks I run and have put the most money in is Blue-Eyes and True Draco Demise. I love both and yea True Draco's are Dragon's lol just humanoid Dragon Knight's.
*Thanks for watching the video, guys! Hope you enjoyed it! Which type of deck is your favorite?* Remember, pick up your Squad tee if you liked it: teespring.com/new-team-aps-squad-tee
My favorites are a control/rush hybrid. I love my zombie world, warriors and cyberse. So happy my friend rekindled my love of yugioh and i found you guys.
"Jack of all trades master of none is still better than a master of one" is the full saying that mutated somehow and i think thats the craziest funniest thing
Traptrix got me into the game- I just stumbled upon traptrix sera, and it was just the perfect combination of control and combo Most of the deck's searchable and it's pretty quick at making a board presence as well as control which really counteracts control's downsides
Lair Infernoid has been my go to & favorite deck since Lair structure released 😁 Does not rely on extra deck to break boards and controls the board to your favor in a grind game. Milling your deck to the last 1-3 cards feels great after resolving reasoning or monster gate
My favourite deck right now is the 'Noids! I always get so unlucky with my reasoning and monster gate mills though, to the point I cut monster gate b/c it wasn't worth tributing for cost. I've been testing out Power Wall which is a slow-paced card for mills (being a trap) but its been really good against aggro decks that try to kill you in only one or two attacks (ancient gears, blue eyes, dinos, cyber dragons etc) and works well when unexpected.
Built a Kaiba deck utilizing most of the game mechanics. The two lacking is exceed and pendulum summoning. Haven't been able to wrap my brain fully around those two. But here's what I have. Blue Eyes White Dragon 3 Obelisk: The Tormentor 1 Dverg of the Nordic Alfar 2 Guldfaxe of the Nordic Beasts 2 Tanngnjostr of the Nordic Beasts 2 Tanngrisnir of the Nordic Beasts 3 Gravekeeper Commandment 3 Gravekeeper Headman 1 Gravekeeper Recruiter 1 Gravekeeper Descendant 1 Gravekeeper Chief 1 Gravekeeper Spiritualist 2 Gravekeeper Spy 2 -- -- Spells Fiend Sanctuary 1 Future Fusion 1 Gravekeeper's Stele 2 Necrovalley 3 Terraforming 1 The Fang of Critias 1 Twin Twisters 1 -- -- Traps Mirror Force 1 Necrovalley Temple 1 Nordic Relic Gungnir 1 Nordic Relic Leavateinn 1 Riteof Spirit 1 Tyrant Wing 1 -- -- Extra Blue Eyes Twin Burst Dragon 1 Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon 1 Gravekeeper's Supernaturalist 1 Mirror Force Dragon 1 Quintet Magician 1 Tyrant Burst Dragon 1 Thor, Lord of the Aesir 1 Thunder End Dragon 1 Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos 1 Gullveig of the Nordic Ascendant 1 Notes: Obelisk isn't really worth summoning since if you have 3 monsters on the field. Pretty sure you're already winning the duel. Gravekeeper Supernaturalist and Thor could immediately win you the duel in some cases. Haven't tested Quintet Magician in a duel yet. But could easily thin your deck and help move the gravekeeper strat along. Gravekeeper clearly isn't as powerful as they used to be it seems. Is there something similiar that could lockdown the graveyard or prevent banish plays without bombing the core deck idea? Or is a Kaiba theme deck just to old to play with the newer sets?
I loved making my skull servant deck it's still one of my favorite decks to use. I can run through negate boards like it's nothing. Negating a single card doesn't really slow me down even a stardust negate board I went through just to swing with a 14,000 king of the skull servants
For new players you should divide the Decks into 3 categories! Burn, Control and Combo Decks! From there the players can choose one of the three and then Go deeper!
Paleozoic seems interesting, i kinda want to see a structure deck for them, because I don’t the packs they come in. I like to stall my deck, but at the same time I like to aggressively rush my opponent. That’s probably why I play rokkets and in the past dustons.
i am a bit new to yugioh. i know the speed i like to play but never thought about it this in depth. the information you gave in this video will help a lot with my deck building and countering my weaknesses.
being new to the game, I built a batterymen deck for like 30 bucks and it's very explosive and fun! Also just built a fire kings deck and I love it as well
I normally choose decks based in how cool it sounds. Somtimes i use decks with different combo possibilities or different ways to win like ghostrick. I don't have them in a viable state since i havent updated it for a long time but i have it with 5 different ways to win. When it comes to budget, i have a deck that came out in less than 10$. Just get the cheap cards and replace expensive ones for other things that can still help.
I'm always trying to think up crazy new combos, then use them as inspiration on what deck(s) to build next to pull them of. Just came up with one, recently (Idk if I should reveal it, it's an OTK/FTK); Now the fun part, figuring what deck(s) to build around it.
Nitro Flare i love my dark magician deck, one problem that really limits it is that eye of timaeus isn’t searchable by magicians rod, dark magic inheritance or obtainable by dark magical circle.
I like to play watt synchro deck it works well can shut down your opponents side of the field but it can start off pretty slow until you get cards like watthydra out to the field
The kind of deck I use is the ones that revolve around traps & spells to ruin my opponents monsters like crush card virus or such cards like that,& along with the lair of darkness field spell is well powerful.
I really like slower moving decks, but I also play a lot of combo decks, although one of my favorite right now is Crystron. It's really fun and takes people completely by surprise and is great going first against combo decks. There's no better feeling than dropping a Black Rose at the start of the battle phase, you have 3 cards in hand, your opponent has just one, and you've now forced a grind game on their first turn as they over committed and were immediately punished for it by passing turn. It's awesome, especially against more meta decks, especially since it can crush combo decks (IF it goes first) and can kind of sort of banish Rei and all their Diabolos, or alternatively, banish all of their spells from field and grave. Great matchup, except that both of those can be easily negated.
I would also like to point out that you can play on online sims using deck profiles other more experienced players have made to experiment with what sort of deck you want to build first. I played several weeks of different decks for some fun local play, like Dark Magician and Volcanics, but I settled on Demise and Ruin since the deck is relatively cheap, it's got an awesome theme where it feels like I'm raining down some serious hurt, like it's actually Armageddon and Oblivion, and in general it has a simple goal and a consistent way to get there. It's what I was looking for, and I found it. It probably appealed to me due to my favorite card in Duel Masters being Ballom, Master of Death that has a very similar field nuke effect. And after playing it a bit I have made my own changes to the original deck I started with so it started feeling like it was really my own deck.
I have a Lvl 1 centered deck. The win con is Assembled Nightingale with stoic challenge. Pretty fun stuff, when the opponent laughs at you for puting weak monsters on the board and just wail at them with AN.
My answer of choosing the right decks by testing them on YgPro. So far the decks I have tested worked out very well. Of course using my own crazy tech cards. Team Aps this was a helpful video but Raigeki and dark hole aren't good however still useful to have in your Yu-Gi-Oh Arsenal
My favourite way of building a deck is the same way I learnt the game, being random, my deck is unusual and has no set archetype, it has various themes and flavours, all complimenting each other. However it may be random but it is effective.
I had to pick between mayakashi or predaplant Greedy venom fusion dragon is pretty good Mayakashi can summon a level 11 synchro with a single rank 4 card Mayakashi mayhem could let you draw, or do 800 damage to your opponent each time you synchro summon, Using the winged mayakahi, you can special summon a dakki the something mayakashi from your deck then synchro, dakki can come back the field if you synchro summon a mayakashi. Using just dakki and winged mayaakashi you can summon 6 synchro monsters and inflict 800 damage for each of them or draw 6 cards using mayakashi mayhem. Also an effect of mayakashi synchro is for example: the rank 3 mayakashi effect is if an rank 5 mayakashi is destroyed you can special summon the rank 3 mayakashi from your graveyard. This effect applies to all the mayakashi synchro monsters. For the rank 11 mayakashi synchro it applies to the mayakashi link monster If you get mayakashi mayhem and two winged mayakashi then you pretty much won because the 800 burn danage for each time you synchro will finish them off Theres a predaplant card that lets you discard a monster to special summon a predaplant from your deck. If you have a 8 star dark monster in your hand then you could special summon predaplant cobra something from your deck to use its effect to get a fusion card or poly for easy venom fusion dragon, easy predaplant link monster, or that one predaplant fusion that looks like a giant flower, so basically a giant venasaur from a birds eye view. Spoiler: I picked a train based deck
8:41 don't we all lol Also I play a little bit of everything but I find my playstyle fits best with the Chaos stuff. It hasn't gotten great support in years but it's so versatile that it tends to fit in with a lot of decks anyway. Honestly I think it should get better draw power or search power. I tend to prefer draw power, because it can get to the unsearchable one ofs more easily. Also, kinda want Chaos Emperor Dragon to come off the banlist because it is a good card, but kind of power crept with so many ways to stop it and so many cards that can't be destroyed by card effects, and it does have a problem with ghost ogre because seriously, you ghost ogre the chaos emperor, since it makes it to where both cards don't get destroyed by the Chaos Emperor's effect, it makes it not as useful for burning your opponent to death/easy killing range. Also veiler. Also solemns. It's basically a minus to wipe the field if your opponent doesn't have an out, but really, at this point, why banish a light and a dark monster from your graveyard just to summon that when in most circumstances you're better of with BLS? The answer: you wouldn't in most cases. It would be a side deck option, and a semi cute tech. A lot of times you'd be better off with Mirror Force Dragon, not only because of the OG mirror force being better in a lot of circumstances, but also because Mirror Force Dragon can stop most things with its destruction effect without wiping out your field too. Also it didn't need that errata in the OCG that made it useless. I say this as a chaos player who plays Chaos Emperor Dragon in traditional(when I bother to play that) and unlimited(when I play chaos in unlimited for the hell of it). Even at 3, it's okay but not really worth giving your entire hand and field for, even if you're destroying, at best, your opponent's hand and field, because then the next turn you'll get your ass kicked most likely. Also, I admit, most of the cards on the banlist need to stay banned(ie yata garasu, Vanity's Emptiness(hate that card so much. If I were to play against it again I'd have to run spell/trap removal in all my decks just to get around it. I ran MST in every deck because of that before it was banned, or galaxy cyclone when I learned about that), Painful Choice, etc., and I respect the fact that yes, some cards are unhealthy for the game and need to stay banned. However, there are some cards that don't need to be on the banlist anymore because of their lack of relevance to the modern game. Hell, BLS could've been semi limited during pendulum format and it wouldn't have been that big of a deal. Chaos Emperor Dragon, especially now with the modern game, while being a good and powerful card, isn't all it's hyped up to be anymore. I'll admit, it was a perfect ace back in the day, but if you put it back to 1 now, I doubt most decks would even run it. In a vacuum, it's debatable that it's still op. In the wider game, it's not that great anymore. Which is sad, but that's the way the game goes. Besides, if very few people are running BLS at 3 as a viable strategy in the wider game, which is a better card in most circumstances, would anybody run 1 chaos emperor, or even 3 if it were to go to unlimited? I doubt it, unless chaos gets a lot of better cards to support BLS and CED, which won't happen any time soon, though Konami could make a lot of money off of it. Huh, who wants to help me petition Konami to make a structure deck for the TCG and OCG for the Chaos monsters? Having reprints of CED and BLS and Chaos Sorcerer, and new support cards for them? That could be amazing and yes, I could see CED becoming viable and op for the format the deck comes out in. Strange, I know, but how much money could be made off of the new support for that? I mean, you saw the new support for DM and Blue-Eyes and it turned out well, so I can totally see a structure deck or a legendary deck box with one of the decks having that personally. But I don't know, I could be entirely wrong about the new support for the Chaos archetype thing(is it a proper archetype? I haven't gotten a conclusive answer). Though, I admit, you're better off banishing all the things with a chaos deck than running a chaos emperor. Then again, splashed into a DM deck, with DM the Dragon Knight and Eternal Soul out, CED wouldn't be able to destroy them I don't think, I'd have to double check on that though
I play predaplants, lunalight, dragon maid (not much), tricksters, aroma, Note that I do not play meta and I usually play like I am in the anime so I make a lot of mistakes.
I think this video help me with what Deck I decided to play, I really love decks that are fast, and I love pendulum decks...so zefra has some good fast combo's
I'm running fiends right now the Maine flaw is I don't have enough room for anything else in the deck is because I have a lot of cards that remove from play and I need to run a Recovery engine to get my banised monsters
Mekk knight invoked is a good deck if u would wanna beat out your opponent with negation and big beater fusions. When u summon invoked machabia and a dead hand. U can take full control of your opponents field. This won me so many games and its fun using mekk knights for the most part due to not relying to much on an extra deck and also special summoning for days especially when going second. I added invoked in my deck cause i felt like the deck itself didn't get much normal summon support plus the only thing i was running was link monsters (mostly knightmare's).
I've started to play Dinomist and I've found them quite fun and controlling, I brought it to my locals and came 3rd with it, mainly because I misplayed one of my infinite loops of returning cards back to the hand.
if I can add to them I would add to combos and attack and add spellbooks or just strength of prop and spellbook of prop and for surprise decks I would add ninjas
My problem is I love all of the decks you mentioned except burning abyss and infernoids(and pendulums). I just research until I find a deck that looks really really fun
I love playing destiny hero and when I play it in ygopro there are often this meta decks that combo hard and some I have a chance someother that negates everything... I hate those.

For the middle ground, play Lyrilusc Kuriboh. Lyrilusc can easily make an 1100 ark Assembled while Kuri can just stop you from getting OTK’d. A good small play is to act Rainbows 2nd then chain battle fader which stops the BP and gives you material for next turn.
I've loved Dragons all my life. So the 2 decks I run and have put the most money in is Blue-Eyes and True Draco Demise. I love both and yea True Draco's are Dragon's lol just humanoid Dragon Knight's.
*Thanks for watching the video, guys! Hope you enjoyed it! Which type of deck is your favorite?*
Remember, pick up your Squad tee if you liked it: teespring.com/new-team-aps-squad-tee
i dont know if it helped people pick decks but its always helpful to have the different deck types explained
My favorites are a control/rush hybrid. I love my zombie world, warriors and cyberse. So happy my friend rekindled my love of yugioh and i found you guys.
Sigh i miss my D/D/D. But I like and play blue eyes
There's some builds that still work pretty well.
It's always a fun deck to throw down with when it works (and I don't get hand trapped lol).
I play d/d/d cursed king siegfried (my fav synchro)
"Jack of all trades master of none is still better than a master of one" is the full saying that mutated somehow and i think thats the craziest funniest thing
Shhh, we gotta keep this a secret for the element of surprise
Hey, what good control deck should I play if I really like to annoy my opponent?
I play hero ,masked hero, madolche and now im trying out lair of darkness
i play Phantom Knights and im working on a destiny hero deck and a salamgreat deck
Traptrix got me into the game-
I just stumbled upon traptrix sera, and it was just the perfect combination of control and combo
Most of the deck's searchable and it's pretty quick at making a board presence as well as control which really counteracts control's downsides
Legacy decks are my favorite then, every time I see anything dark magician, blue eyes and toons I’m sold on it
Lair Infernoid has been my go to & favorite deck since Lair structure released 😁 Does not rely on extra deck to break boards and controls the board to your favor in a grind game. Milling your deck to the last 1-3 cards feels great after resolving reasoning or monster gate
My favourite deck right now is the 'Noids! I always get so unlucky with my reasoning and monster gate mills though, to the point I cut monster gate b/c it wasn't worth tributing for cost. I've been testing out Power Wall which is a slow-paced card for mills (being a trap) but its been really good against aggro decks that try to kill you in only one or two attacks (ancient gears, blue eyes, dinos, cyber dragons etc) and works well when unexpected.
Built a Kaiba deck utilizing most of the game mechanics. The two lacking is exceed and pendulum summoning. Haven't been able to wrap my brain fully around those two. But here's what I have.

Notes: Obelisk isn't really worth summoning since if you have 3 monsters on the field. Pretty sure you're already winning the duel. Gravekeeper Supernaturalist and Thor could immediately win you the duel in some cases. Haven't tested Quintet Magician in a duel yet. But could easily thin your deck and help move the gravekeeper strat along. Gravekeeper clearly isn't as powerful as they used to be it seems. Is there something similiar that could lockdown the graveyard or prevent banish plays without bombing the core deck idea? Or is a Kaiba theme deck just to old to play with the newer sets?

Red Eyes Black Dragon Fusion deck. Swarm the damn field and run a negation backrow.
My man
I have a red eyes deck too 💪
I loved making my skull servant deck it's still one of my favorite decks to use. I can run through negate boards like it's nothing. Negating a single card doesn't really slow me down even a stardust negate board I went through just to swing with a 14,000 king of the skull servants
For new players you should divide the Decks into 3 categories! Burn, Control and Combo Decks! From there the players can choose one of the three and then Go deeper!
Paleozoic seems interesting, i kinda want to see a structure deck for them, because I don’t the packs they come in. I like to stall my deck, but at the same time I like to aggressively rush my opponent. That’s probably why I play rokkets and in the past dustons.
i am a bit new to yugioh. i know the speed i like to play but never thought about it this in depth. the information you gave in this video will help a lot with my deck building and countering my weaknesses.
"maybe you Like plants?!" 🧐🍁 I see what you did there.
HIgh Strikers?
Rap Salute 🔥🤣😂💀
You guys inspired me. But I need your help I don't care which one does it but can you please do a red eyes deck profile.
Because that's the deck I want to play!
th-cam.com/video/yEt7axGxlk8/w-d-xo.html
I know it’s kinda older, but if you just look at the cards everyone is running now (Ash Blossom) and switch them out accordingly it outta be updated
Random Gaming I mean a 2018 update
We're on it!
being new to the game, I built a batterymen deck for like 30 bucks and it's very explosive and fun! Also just built a fire kings deck and I love it as well
All I learned was that D/D/D is the deck for me. So thanks for the help.
i feel like jack if all trades deck are the best... for me anyway... i like hieratic dragons... my deck can xyz summon pretty much any xyz monster
I normally choose decks based in how cool it sounds. Somtimes i use decks with different combo possibilities or different ways to win like ghostrick. I don't have them in a viable state since i havent updated it for a long time but i have it with 5 different ways to win. When it comes to budget, i have a deck that came out in less than 10$. Just get the cheap cards and replace expensive ones for other things that can still help.
If you like more fun type decks I'd go with red eyes I think it's really fun and not that expensive
I'm always trying to think up crazy new combos, then use them as inspiration on what deck(s) to build next to pull them of. Just came up with one, recently (Idk if I should reveal it, it's an OTK/FTK); Now the fun part, figuring what deck(s) to build around it.
I mostly play Dark Magicians either budget or once i get the spellbook engine a more meta focused deck
Nitro Flare i love my dark magician deck, one problem that really limits it is that eye of timaeus isn’t searchable by magicians rod, dark magic inheritance or obtainable by dark magical circle.
yea but a lot of decks replace that for windwitches.
Tommy Barnes same here my dude
Same. I have the spellbook engine and it’s very consistent. I also run a blue eyes with galaxy monsters in the extra. They’re very great as well
You can also run sacred sword of seven star
How about someone who uses Marik's deck from season 3 and almost never won at tournaments and also hates most archetypes?!
Deskbots is my current deck. I'm considering working more on my dinosaurs (have not touched in like 5 months) or starting a whole new deck
I like to play watt synchro deck it works well can shut down your opponents side of the field but it can start off pretty slow until you get cards like watthydra out to the field
I use 4 decks
D/D/D
Zombie
E hero
Cyber Dragon
Respect for Elemental Hero
Good but try pendalum magician gaurd dragon
The kind of deck I use is the ones that revolve around traps & spells to ruin my opponents monsters like crush card virus or such cards like that,& along with the lair of darkness field spell is well powerful.
I really like slower moving decks, but I also play a lot of combo decks, although one of my favorite right now is Crystron. It's really fun and takes people completely by surprise and is great going first against combo decks. There's no better feeling than dropping a Black Rose at the start of the battle phase, you have 3 cards in hand, your opponent has just one, and you've now forced a grind game on their first turn as they over committed and were immediately punished for it by passing turn. It's awesome, especially against more meta decks, especially since it can crush combo decks (IF it goes first) and can kind of sort of banish Rei and all their Diabolos, or alternatively, banish all of their spells from field and grave. Great matchup, except that both of those can be easily negated.
For the crazy big board types, I love that Balance of Judgement is unlimited.
I would also like to point out that you can play on online sims using deck profiles other more experienced players have made to experiment with what sort of deck you want to build first. I played several weeks of different decks for some fun local play, like Dark Magician and Volcanics, but I settled on Demise and Ruin since the deck is relatively cheap, it's got an awesome theme where it feels like I'm raining down some serious hurt, like it's actually Armageddon and Oblivion, and in general it has a simple goal and a consistent way to get there. It's what I was looking for, and I found it. It probably appealed to me due to my favorite card in Duel Masters being Ballom, Master of Death that has a very similar field nuke effect. And after playing it a bit I have made my own changes to the original deck I started with so it started feeling like it was really my own deck.
I have a Lvl 1 centered deck. The win con is Assembled Nightingale with stoic challenge.
Pretty fun stuff, when the opponent laughs at you for puting weak monsters on the board and just wail at them with AN.
Ive been slowly building up my zombie deck for over a year now and it does well at locals
I started with cyberse because i like main character decks and also link summoning is easy in that deck and combos are really good
I love playing Slither, Dark Magician, or subterror behemoth decks
I just look at the card designs. Whatever archetype has the design is the one I go for.
I’m new to Yu-gi-oh. I really like the dragons. Any recommendations?
Blue eyes
Galaxy eyes
My answer of choosing the right decks by testing them on YgPro. So far the decks I have tested worked out very well. Of course using my own crazy tech cards. Team Aps this was a helpful video but Raigeki and dark hole aren't good however still useful to have in your Yu-Gi-Oh Arsenal
My favourite way of building a deck is the same way I learnt the game, being random, my deck is unusual and has no set archetype, it has various themes and flavours, all complimenting each other.
However it may be random but it is effective.
I had to pick between mayakashi or predaplant
Greedy venom fusion dragon is pretty good
Mayakashi can summon a level 11 synchro with a single rank 4 card
Mayakashi mayhem could let you draw, or do 800 damage to your opponent each time you synchro summon,
Using the winged mayakahi, you can special summon a dakki the something mayakashi from your deck then synchro, dakki can come back the field if you synchro summon a mayakashi. Using just dakki and winged mayaakashi you can summon 6 synchro monsters and inflict 800 damage for each of them or draw 6 cards using mayakashi mayhem. Also an effect of mayakashi synchro is for example: the rank 3 mayakashi effect is if an rank 5 mayakashi is destroyed you can special summon the rank 3 mayakashi from your graveyard. This effect applies to all the mayakashi synchro monsters. For the rank 11 mayakashi synchro it applies to the mayakashi link monster
If you get mayakashi mayhem and two winged mayakashi then you pretty much won because the 800 burn danage for each time you synchro will finish them off
Theres a predaplant card that lets you discard a monster to special summon a predaplant from your deck. If you have a 8 star dark monster in your hand then you could special summon predaplant cobra something from your deck to use its effect to get a fusion card or poly for easy venom fusion dragon, easy predaplant link monster, or that one predaplant fusion that looks like a giant flower, so basically a giant venasaur from a birds eye view.
Spoiler: I picked a train based deck
This took the entire video to make
8:41 don't we all lol
Also I play a little bit of everything but I find my playstyle fits best with the Chaos stuff. It hasn't gotten great support in years but it's so versatile that it tends to fit in with a lot of decks anyway.
Honestly I think it should get better draw power or search power. I tend to prefer draw power, because it can get to the unsearchable one ofs more easily.
Also, kinda want Chaos Emperor Dragon to come off the banlist because it is a good card, but kind of power crept with so many ways to stop it and so many cards that can't be destroyed by card effects, and it does have a problem with ghost ogre because seriously, you ghost ogre the chaos emperor, since it makes it to where both cards don't get destroyed by the Chaos Emperor's effect, it makes it not as useful for burning your opponent to death/easy killing range. Also veiler. Also solemns. It's basically a minus to wipe the field if your opponent doesn't have an out, but really, at this point, why banish a light and a dark monster from your graveyard just to summon that when in most circumstances you're better of with BLS?
The answer: you wouldn't in most cases. It would be a side deck option, and a semi cute tech. A lot of times you'd be better off with Mirror Force Dragon, not only because of the OG mirror force being better in a lot of circumstances, but also because Mirror Force Dragon can stop most things with its destruction effect without wiping out your field too.
Also it didn't need that errata in the OCG that made it useless. I say this as a chaos player who plays Chaos Emperor Dragon in traditional(when I bother to play that) and unlimited(when I play chaos in unlimited for the hell of it). Even at 3, it's okay but not really worth giving your entire hand and field for, even if you're destroying, at best, your opponent's hand and field, because then the next turn you'll get your ass kicked most likely.
Also, I admit, most of the cards on the banlist need to stay banned(ie yata garasu, Vanity's Emptiness(hate that card so much. If I were to play against it again I'd have to run spell/trap removal in all my decks just to get around it. I ran MST in every deck because of that before it was banned, or galaxy cyclone when I learned about that), Painful Choice, etc., and I respect the fact that yes, some cards are unhealthy for the game and need to stay banned. However, there are some cards that don't need to be on the banlist anymore because of their lack of relevance to the modern game. Hell, BLS could've been semi limited during pendulum format and it wouldn't have been that big of a deal. Chaos Emperor Dragon, especially now with the modern game, while being a good and powerful card, isn't all it's hyped up to be anymore. I'll admit, it was a perfect ace back in the day, but if you put it back to 1 now, I doubt most decks would even run it. In a vacuum, it's debatable that it's still op. In the wider game, it's not that great anymore. Which is sad, but that's the way the game goes.
Besides, if very few people are running BLS at 3 as a viable strategy in the wider game, which is a better card in most circumstances, would anybody run 1 chaos emperor, or even 3 if it were to go to unlimited? I doubt it, unless chaos gets a lot of better cards to support BLS and CED, which won't happen any time soon, though Konami could make a lot of money off of it.
Huh, who wants to help me petition Konami to make a structure deck for the TCG and OCG for the Chaos monsters? Having reprints of CED and BLS and Chaos Sorcerer, and new support cards for them? That could be amazing and yes, I could see CED becoming viable and op for the format the deck comes out in. Strange, I know, but how much money could be made off of the new support for that? I mean, you saw the new support for DM and Blue-Eyes and it turned out well, so I can totally see a structure deck or a legendary deck box with one of the decks having that personally.
But I don't know, I could be entirely wrong about the new support for the Chaos archetype thing(is it a proper archetype? I haven't gotten a conclusive answer).
Though, I admit, you're better off banishing all the things with a chaos deck than running a chaos emperor. Then again, splashed into a DM deck, with DM the Dragon Knight and Eternal Soul out, CED wouldn't be able to destroy them I don't think, I'd have to double check on that though
I play predaplants, lunalight, dragon maid (not much), tricksters, aroma,
Note that I do not play meta and I usually play like I am in the anime so I make a lot of mistakes.
I think this video help me with what Deck I decided to play, I really love decks that are fast, and I love pendulum decks...so zefra has some good fast combo's
I'm running fiends right now the Maine flaw is I don't have enough room for anything else in the deck is because I have a lot of cards that remove from play and I need to run a
Recovery engine to get my banised monsters
I like taking 2 archetypes that typically aren't played together and play them together.
I built Hero Shaddolls mixed with some predaplants and I was surprised how good but fun it was!
Sean Cop I'm running burning abyss with a dino engine right now, and it's a fun deck that can otk
I’ve tried gem knight thunder dragons. It didn’t work
I tried odd eyes and abyss actors
I like playing cyber dragon/abcs mixed.
I gravitate towards ramp decks that can easily make xyz monsters. Burning abyss, phantom knights, sharks and more recently ogdoadics
What are mayakashi
I do an aggressive dragon deck with a hell lot if combos
Mekk knight invoked is a good deck if u would wanna beat out your opponent with negation and big beater fusions. When u summon invoked machabia and a dead hand. U can take full control of your opponents field. This won me so many games and its fun using mekk knights for the most part due to not relying to much on an extra deck and also special summoning for days especially when going second. I added invoked in my deck cause i felt like the deck itself didn't get much normal summon support plus the only thing i was running was link monsters (mostly knightmare's).
ill stick with the best decks I know, and can adjust / adapt to formats my Gladiator Beast & Noble Knights.
so what deck would you call gravekeepers ramps or control or in general what deck would it be?
I've started to play Dinomist and I've found them quite fun and controlling, I brought it to my locals and came 3rd with it, mainly because I misplayed one of my infinite loops of returning cards back to the hand.
2019 here,Thunder dragons,Orcust,Sky striker, Pendulum,Cyber dragon
Im doing locals and im using a Chaos or Dragon deck depending on people. Like Chaos is DOPE for removing cards from play
I have a really big issue of going all in with a deck archetype, then losing interesting and trying another.
I play vampires it is so fun and so cheap! Not competitive but I have so much fun playing them.
I’m a red-eyes duellist and it suits me well
Liked just because u shouted out my deck WORLD CHALICE!!
I love playing dragon shrine(send 1 dragon monster to the gy)with blue eyes and using monster reborn,energy drain and burst stream
I like decks like Crusadia OTK and Shiranui Zombie World, but Sky Strikers are fun too.
Thoughts on the new spirit charmers deck?
Best deck is the deck i buldied yesterday its sparks the new meta im very proud of it
what are the top 5 decks atm to win tournaments?
if I can add to them I would add to combos and attack and add spellbooks or just strength of prop and spellbook of prop and for surprise decks I would add ninjas
My problem is I love all of the decks you mentioned except burning abyss and infernoids(and pendulums). I just research until I find a deck that looks really really fun
I love playing destiny hero and when I play it in ygopro there are often this meta decks that combo hard and some I have a chance someother that negates everything... I hate those.
