Deck building is like Chemistry. First rule, is to know all rules. The 2nd Rule, is to know all the exceptions to the rules. If I'm going to mix to archtypes together, I should know if they will explode or not :p
Agreed. Imo it's most fun making decks that turbo out garbage old boss monsters just for the spectacle, and using them to obliterate NPCs. They're sometimes fun in casual too, but it really depends on what's going on in casual at the time. I remember making a sick Masked Beast Des Gardius turbo deck using rescue rabbit and other stuff to fulfill the material, with the mask exchange skill to more easily search the actual guy. I even played mystic wok so I could send him to the GY to activate his effect on command lmao.
I'm with Sigmaballs guy. I love master duel until it become stale with nothing happened but chaos. Yes, I can build a meta deck easily, but there's nothing happened than a ranked event. So boring, that I move to DL again because of the newest addition of coin mechanic. Sadly Konami got greedy again and stop the distribution and at this point idk if I should play DL again since the events are as stale as MD
Aromage is a pretty cheap and easy deck that's simple to build and let's you flex into extra deck monsters with needing to run any to do what the deck does
It's good... for farming. it's not that viable competitively in ranked. The power level nowadays is tooooo big for Aromage to handle. Heck, it wasn't even competitive 2 years ago. I think newest deck nowadays can achieve a lot like both farm and ranked of think than old deck. But if there's 50% off discount, then go for Aromage.
@@moh.syafrianabie8899 I've been playing since launch and kog consistently, aromage has always been a pretty decent rouge deck and even today you can KOG with it, ladder is no where near as competitive as DLM tournaments and stuff. the deck is simple enough to pick up and play, has a decent power level and lets players dip their toes into the extra deck mechanics and stuff, its a solid deck tbh
@@alsparkproductions7849 I haven't used only them to KOG in a while, I've used them on the way to KOG but the deck is rather grindy so just playing them to KOG would be a slog. The deck was a cool orcust shell but after the banning of mermaid I've defaulted back to a more standard build with destiny draw. 3 Jasmine 2 Cananga, 2 Rosemary 1 Laurel, 1 Marjoram, 1 bergamot 3 Aroma Garden, 3 Humid, 3 Blessed, 3 dried the extra isn't used too much so can be jammed with whatever, ARose is the synchro boss monster so should be ran. brionac and the knightmares give you something to do with the extra backrow you draw
I've been playing Duel Links for a week now and actually managed to craft a solid Gravekeeper deck, since I got pretty much all the cards there. The only thing I'm missing is a 3rd copy of Necrovalley. I'm not so lucky with Dark Magician... some cards just aren't easy to come by. Trying it now with a Gaia deck and a Warrior deck. Nevertheless, Gravekeepers are a lot of fun right now, although of course they can't compete with "Legendary Decks". But they are running stable and I can fusion into Quintet Magician relatively quickly
2 more additions: You will always hate graveyard effects and if you want to watch the world burn and feel like going into your villain era, you can always play burn decks
I usually run a toolbox of timelords alongside 3x speedroid horse stilts and 3x speedroid razorang and a montage dragon. 1 forbidden chalice, 2 kiteroids, 1 empress's staff, 1action magic full turn, 1 celestial transformation, and a rank 4&10 xyz toolbox complete the deck
Me as a broke dark world player in DL... my god you're right, and honestly I found it both tragic and hilarious because it has been taking me quite a few months to build the deck only using free gems, but boy when the deck (even incomplete as it is) goes off, it's so satisfying.
I stopped playing yu-gi-oh! almost 2 years ago and now I am approaching with my girlfriend a new card game. We watched this video togheter and we "fixed" our decks. Now we play with more confidence against each other. Thank you for this video
Funny story. I got really into deck building with the game Kingdom Hearts chain of memories. You use cards to attack in this game, and i made a deck that could abuse a mechanic called Slates so i could press one button to beat most of the games fights. Good times.
How to build a deck: 1. Steal your mom's credit card 2. Buy all the high rarity staple cards 3. Buy 3 of any good Struck your Deck 4. Enjoy your awesome deck
Imagine my surprise when I found out I could play a deck with no magic cards in it, and win. Consistently. And then my astonishment when I found out I could play a deck with no spells in it. And win consistently ! 😂 That game is great.
you know funnily enough, i havent even watched this anime yet, but for some reason youtube keeps suggesting Sakanaaaaaa to me. Which is clearly perfect for this.
I'm a new player just learning the rules coming from MTG. I'm looking for deck recommendations with a few stipulations: I want to limit everything aside from Normal Monsters to Effect Monsters and then either Synchro, XYZ, or Fusion. (And maybe Link Monsters if those are necessary with any of those strategies?) Also, and maybe most importantly, I'm "not interested in winning"... I wanna play a T4-T6 win deck haha Edit: These stipulations are because I'm still learning and I need to limit the number of things I'm trying to play at once
I use pure phantom knights deck and it almots got me to the king of games, but i use it with phantom knights order skill becuase i like to use phantom knights of cursed javelin against z one decks
basic explanation: some effects make you decide on what its gonna hit right as you activate it, and some effects make you decide what its gonna hit when it resolves. Main 2 differences are: 1 that some monsters will specifically be immune to targeting effects ("this monster can't be targeted") and 2 since effects that target make you select targets when you activate it, your opponent can chain effects that can counteract what youve done to those cards.
As a Superheavy Samurai player I rebel against society and attack in defense position. Some tryhards that only look at meta decks and not rouge decks get flabbergasted dueling against Superheavy Samurai and most of the time lose because they never seen a deck like this (or I immediately lose to "there can only be one") One time I attacked with Stealth Ninja to attack directly and the guy asked why his "Sphere Kuriboh" didn't activate? He called me a cheater and that day I changed his perspective of Yugioh
I tried deck building with a spell caster + warrior archetype… but then decided “fuck it” and focused efforts everywhere and decided that 2x tribute summoning was the least I wanted and went for special summoning. Nothing was ever more annoying than trying to match having a Dark Magician and two tributes waiting. Or having only a dark magician and no lvl 1-4 monster to play. Also I got into XYZ summoning. So. There was that. 😂
I've tried to make Melffy work but we have like 4 Melffy cards which barely work together and have no wincon without raccoons/generic beasts. Anywho, nice little guide for starting players. Might be a good idea to make a video on things like inherent summons and chain timing for things like Roach and Dweller. I mentioned chains for Dweller because I've seen people try to chain dweller to a graveyard effect during my main phase when it's already too late. And Roach, well, I'm sure a lot of new players will struggle with the wording and why it isn't stopping Blue Eyes from being summoned during the End Phase.
Ive thought about making an advanced guide for things like chaining, chainblocking, inherent summons, damage step, etc. Though I know galaxy guru has been doing those little by little as well.
I wanted to make a Madolche deck because monsters are adorable, but now that I know they're a toxic deck I don't know whether to continue with it. Can you recommend me some decks with adorable monsters?
They're not inherently toxic, it's just the way they're played right now in DL. Nobody's gonna hate you for playing madolche simply because it's not top tier, and also you shouldn't care in the first place Aromages are hella cute and fun to play but terrible Melffy is cute but not strong Fur Hire is arguably cute, decent and will get great support in the future Solfachords are arguably cute and very strong Magician girls are cute and average strength Rikkas are cute, decent and will get amazing support Trickstars are arguably cute and top tier, but will become progressively worse Witchcrafters are cute and would be decent if they actually unlimited them, but I don't think they will and their support isn't too great either Hope that helps!
@@phromkatv well if you want to😂 but generally all these decks are better if played with other characters. Best for Ishizu is orcust, which is definitely not cute but definitely top tier

BA reference?
i swear, deckbuilding is the most fun of yugioh
As a man who just lost 7 rank match in a row ,I have to agree
Agreed. Imo it's most fun making decks that turbo out garbage old boss monsters just for the spectacle, and using them to obliterate NPCs. They're sometimes fun in casual too, but it really depends on what's going on in casual at the time.

I'm still searching and waiting for ways to break Resonance Insect, now that Level Eater is banned and Firewall finally got nerfed.
most painfull for f2p because you dont have good card .
It seems like it, but I still can't find a video that explains deck sizes and card limits. Like, I think a "playset" in Yugioh is 3 cards, not 4?
When almost a lot of duel links players abandoned it for master duel, here rises a new savior.
I more or less abandoned master duel for duel links

This is insane content, you WILL grow to a large channel if you keep this up
Simple, but very informative and really fun to watch! I love deckbuilding.
Necrovalley: did u forget about me
Thank you so much! I'm currently trying to build the Yosenju deck, this is very helpful 🥰💕💕💕💕
Dude. Try the dreaming stuff in the yosenjus. It's budget and amazing
Rank 4 toolbox is your best friend for extra deck building
2 more additions: You will always hate graveyard effects and if you want to watch the world burn and feel like going into your villain era, you can always play burn decks
Not if you want to win
I usually run a toolbox of timelords alongside 3x speedroid horse stilts and 3x speedroid razorang and a montage dragon. 1 forbidden chalice, 2 kiteroids, 1 empress's staff, 1action magic full turn, 1 celestial transformation, and a rank 4&10 xyz toolbox complete the deck
im literally experimenting with that exact draco pendulum synchro deck AND I FEEL CALLED OUT. MAYBE WE LIKE 30 CARD DECKS MYEH
My most recent deck is a 30 card pile of Phantom Knight and Burning Abyss, not sure if it's better than either on their own but it's very fun.
those free dark magician normal summons are finally here

okay but what if i want to make a tomato deck
well thats easy, 3 tomatos, 1 dante, shove em into orcusts, and call it a day
Damn, this was fun, thanks for the guide!
How to build a deck:
1. Steal your mom's credit card
2. Buy all the high rarity staple cards

Love this video❤❤❤
Idk if the channel mascot is a melffy or a new design but I love its o cute
I just like the way melffy rabby looks so ive just been using them for everything
@@cuchutrain adorable licious
I love your voice
Ah yes, pend magician odd eyes synchro.... just need beyond pendulum, desolver, astrograph odd eyes synchron, harmonizing magician, vortex, absolute dragon and lastly zarc
Great vid
What is the name of the app you use for decks to see how much they Cost?
I use duellinksmeta.com which is free
Ah yes. A video just for me.
I wanna play vehicroids and deskbots can u guys help me make a good deck
I use pure phantom knights deck and it almots got me to the king of games, but i use it with phantom knights order skill becuase i like to use phantom knights of cursed javelin against z one decks
When i start a new account i go on a box i like and if i dont get what i want i build with what i have.
Trying to run gearfried the Swordmaster wish me luck lol
Just for BMing Konami about that dark magician normal summon I'll sub you're channel ....
Only important questions when building a deck:
Do you run HEROs?
Then, if not, why?
No because heroes are lame
@@someguy350 Lame because they are so cookie cutter now? or just that you lost to them plenty of time (im not flaming you cause I lose to them still)
@Shadic-rf8dg no just the theme heroes, I've beaten plenty of hero decks.
I really need to know what's that websites name at 7:10?
I think i just looked up hand probabiltiy yugioh and its one of the first results
Targeting?
basic explanation: some effects make you decide on what its gonna hit right as you activate it, and some effects make you decide what its gonna hit when it resolves.
Main 2 differences are: 1 that some monsters will specifically be immune to targeting effects ("this monster can't be targeted") and 2 since effects that target make you select targets when you activate it, your opponent can chain effects that can counteract what youve done to those cards.
Will there ever be a deck that doesn't brick?
timelord +lvl4 speedroids never brick in my experience
HarPies.
Thanks for the silly little video bro
I wish traptrix was more relevant in DL
I know the rules and so do you.

Super heavy is my favorite to play against since I've gone to a relinquished deck.
I love infernoids but the deck is dead
30 card decks nah my friend runs a 67 card deck
Ok, but netdecking is funnier
You know you've reached peak deck building abilities when you start making a synchro combo deck
It's always fun rearranging my crystron deck
So having built a Synchron Deck with Bystial engine and ending a board full of Synchro Boss monsters is my current peak
@@AccelBurner I need to learn how to play bystial
I like my valkyrie deck or Golden Castle of Stormberg 😂😂😂😂 no one uses it and have no idea how to combat it
I’m poor

Thanks for this beautiful information, you are the best 😊❤
as a returning player after 15 years. I just bought the Dark Worlds Structure deck. I feel attacked.
i...... am never getting back into yugioh. rip 💔
