Runick Engine Explained Very Quickly and Easily - Yugioh

- Here’s how the Runick Engine works.
Every Runick Quick-Play spell has its own unique beneficial effect that also banishes cards from the top of your opponent’s deck; Freezing Curses is a Forbidden Chalice that banishes 3, Flashing Fire is a pop that banishes 2 and Destruction is an MST that banishes 4.
But, instead of using their unique effects, you can instead use the shared effects of Runick Spells, allowing you to Instant Fusion out any Runick Monster from your Extra Deck to your Extra Monster Zone.
You have a variety of choices of Runick Monsters to summon, but you’re usually bringing out Hugin the Runick Wings , because when Hugin is summoned you can discard a card to add a Runick Field Spell from your deck to your hand.
This gives you access to Runick Fountain , which lets you use your Runick Quick-Play Spells from the hand during your opponent’s turn and lets you draw up to three cards after you activate a Runick Quick-Play Spell by putting those spells from your grave to the bottom of the deck.
This means that not only do you get to use your Runick Quick-Play Spells as if they were hand traps, you get to refill your hand and draw a ton of cards during both your turn and your opponent’s.
And as a result Runick has been used in a ton of different strategies because of the strength of its interruption, its consistency and for the free draws and bodies it gives you.
But there is a catch, because even though the Runick engine is incredibly strong, every time you activate a Runick Quick-Play, you’re forced to skip your next Battle Phase.

Honestly the worst part of dueling against Runick Decks is watching your deck slowly get banished, even worse when you see your side cards get banished.
“Here’s how the Runick engine works: Step 1.) Your opponent forfeits as soon as you get Fountain on the field”
Me 😂
I've actually had good luck against Runick with a Graydle Kaiju Slime deck with Imperial Iron wall .
And if they DON'T forfeit, prepare for a mystical, harpie or, worst case scenario, cosmic cyclone
I love playing against these decks with Gren Maju, most people never see it coming towards the end
You just randomly run that?
Since you explained the Runick Engine, it's only fair to do The Top 10 Cards to use against the Runicks.
How about with runics
Eradicator epidemic virus
I know few cards, anti Magic spell perma Trap Card, dont know the right Name atm, and the Virus Trap Card, by tributing 2500 ATK Monster, then choose Trap/spell Card = destroy all the choose Card next 3 Turns. And maybe If someday unban: imperial Order 😆
Anti-Spell fragrance helps with this deck
@@mootezkniss6790 I used this card against a runick deck and they just quit
I find this pretty eerie considering I've been saving playing master duel for quite some time and just now when I pop into it I encounter one of the strongest engines I've ever seen, not even a week later you come out with a video on it
who'd win:
an ancient (runick, even) engine of destruction and interaction, having mid-chain protection against backrow removal and quick-plays that work like hand traps
or
a single ghost cat-girl
I didn't know Freki existed, what a cute card art. Add him to MD soon Komoney
Why isn't it in MD? Did it just come out or something?
Nice explanation. It's an extraordinarily irritating engine in the BO1 format of Master Duel (hence why several of it's strongest cards have been semi-limited) but I presume it might be easier to deal with in the TCG, due to the side deck.
The side deck just means EVERY Runick variant gets to be Runick Stun. Though that's a small price to pay for being able side out your cards that are useless against it.
You lose at D1 then just kill your opponent in D2 and D3 with your side deck filled with Anti-Spell Cards.
Though Spright Runick is hard to side counter since they either play Runick or Spright depending on their Hard drawn starting card which makes side decking can backfire if they just stun you with Interruptions with Spright.
Ban it...ban the whole arch type
Love playing runick musketeers, they are basically bullets that can fire themselves while still helping the muskets to search until you get enough disruption and recursion to pummel with the musketeers. Well just love the musketeers tbh
The best way to play runick musketeers is removing the musketeers for basically anything else
@@xhantTheFirst can't really argue with that
@@caiocemi made a Genraiders Runik and both plans are great for disruptions
@@xhantTheFirstmy runick tindangles disagrees
MD players: "Runick is so toxic, nothing is worse than this"
Ishizu Tear: _Allow us to introduce ourselves_
id argue Runick is more toxic, How can you draw the out to Runick when Runick banished it 2 turns ago because you dared to have a spell set.
Tear is a crazier stronger deck i just dont find it as anger inducing
at least in tear mirror match, both player can interact with each other and it is quite fun. runick mirror match is stage 4 cancer
And now we wait for Kashtira to complete the holy trinity of toxicity 😂
Tear is just strong, but not unbeatable, and it makes for some crazy fun duels, especially in the mirror match, the likes of which ygo hasn't seen in years. Runick is just a better mill strategy that also locks you out of your effects since it banishes instead of regularly milling to the GY
At least an ishizu player will attack. A runicks player will never budge
It’s crazy annoying they are reason i run a copy of chaos hunter just to make sure but her discard to summon does kind of help my predaplant deck
I love these videos soooo so much, keep it up please
Dinner's ready!

Perfection
oh nice! looking forward to more in this series.
Great video!! Would like to see your thoughts on top 10 splashable engines like 2 Ascator and 2 Dawnwalker to get access to lvl 8 synchros and even a multi negate borreload if you have Dawnwalker and Extra foolish at the same time in your hand
This is inspired by RPG/FPS game mechanic to have load time for spell or the nearest similar one is Regicide (this one is limited by hand size)
Runick gimmick is off similar to player casting spells... any deck can actually abuse Runick engine since it is generic removal but some are better to abuse the advantage of Runick engine, namely their monster spam or their recovery or destruction of their cards, or spell spam and fact that you just can not set their quickie cards while field spell existing 😅
One of the only super meta decks I actually very much like bc of how the deck works. I just find the effects fun
You're part of the problem with modern Yu-Gi-Oh lmao
@@darthdonkulous1810 there isn't a problem with modern Yugioh and my top 3 decks aren't even remotely close to meta viable.
1. Kozmo
2. F.A.
3. Hazy Flame
I play these 3 decks almost exclusively.
@@Helperishere I only say it in jest my good man.
But to say there are no problems with the modern game is just not true lol
@@darthdonkulous1810 new players still love the game. The game is thriving still. The issue is some of us just miss the old days.
Wow I also play Kozmo and found this archetype interesting. I’ll check out Fa and hazy flame 👀
You make great "this is how this works" videos.
I personally run runicks in witchcrafters, mostly because they're more of a "protect the castle" control deck and don't really need the battle phase to begin with.
I actually faced and somehow won against runicks in master duel using an noble knight/infernoble deck. All thanks to an equip spell that let me attack directly so I don't trigger hugin's effect to return to the extra deck 😅 and almost lost since on that last turn I drew my last card
Dammmmmn.
Great vid, ty for this nice video! ^^
Love this series
Man I love Runick, not because they are treated as toxic deck, but because their art design and their gameplay.
How about a top 10 engines in decks, like runick engine, Branded engine, dogmatika engine and shaddol engine
Ghostrick engine \o/
Invoked engine, hand engine
using cursed seal of the forbidden spell on runick fountain is chef's kiss in satisfying.
8:38 How would you phrase a stacking version of Battle Phase Skip? "Skip your next battle phase that would not already be skipped"?
Skip your next battle phase, then if that battle phase would already be skipped, skip the next one after that
Maybe „You cannot enter your next Battle phase.“ might work.
The thing about skipping the next Battle phase is that it only counts as skipped if you attempted to enter it but if you cannot enter it, your next Battle phase should be the one you have after that, so if you apply this restriction again, you cannot use the Battle phase after that.
However, if this isn't how it works, „You cannot enter your next Battle phase, also skip the Battle phase after that.“ does cause you to give up additional Battle phases.
@@xCorvus7x "Skip your own battle phase(s) equal to the amount of "Runick" Quick-Play spell(s) played from this turn to your opponent's End Phase."
@@TheKitty699 Which of my opponent's End phases? The next one?
Besides, this sounds as if Runick spells activated on turn three (or four) don't add further Battle phases to that counter.
For that, this would have to be a lingering effect that keeps count throughout the whole duel.
Yes and if you don't enter your battle phase it doesn't count.
The biggest advantage of Runick is it's ability to randomly banish the opponent's combo pieces and the important cards of their engines, making the their hand/deck useless. So many games can be won just because of it. XD
Hey, I wanted to ask something. Did Malefic Stardust Dragon ever see play in Runick Decks? (it has an effect to protect Field Spells but an extra layer of protection wouldn't hurt. Plus, a 2500 ATK monster is decent.
Nah nope they have their own protection... 3 times namely Huggin
Freki is gonna be an ultra rare and collectors rare soon. This engine is great with the Vaylantz.
I'm at 2:21 and don't know if u say it later, but actual Konami announced a new runick fusion that summon a runick token, so u can fusion summon with polymerization a runick monster
Banishing Runick Fountain is definitely a satisfying feeling.
Just get another fountain
@@kyleanderson449 It's semi-limited in Master Duel so that is very hard. Sorta
Using cursed seal of the forbidden spell >>>
@@Thefungangiscool not unless you banish both. Any runic quick play spell can get it. That is alot of chances.
@@sowhazupguy this is what we call in the business, a "pro gamer move"
I never truly knew how this archetype works because every time I see that first runick card come out, I just forfeit 🤣🤣🤣. Free win for opponent, yeah, but idc that much to be concerned w it.
Can you do tearlements next? I haven't really been playing or buying cards for a year, and I know it was really strong before the ban list. I just never knew why.
Have a question I haven’t seen answered anywhere, if the first part of a runick spell fizzles (e.g. use freezing on sp little knight and she chains to banish herself and dodge it) does the banish cards off the top of opponents deck part still happen or no because the first half of effect didn’t happen. Thanks.
can you also exlplain the spellbook deck? been playing it in masterduel and i have no idea what im doing tbh.
it is the best deck because it entertains both players but above all the opponent especially given its excellent combinations. obviously this is not my thought but my best whose name is Paul
That archetype is going to be hit so hard, and so soon
So we either become Oden(Deckout) or a servent of Oden(combo)
As a master duel player I use a 20 card Runick engine with a 7 card Aleister engine, 1 terraforming, standard hand traps (Maxx C, Ash Blossom, Nibiru), 2 Forbidden Droplet and as a final nuisance, 2 Majesty's Fiend. For extra its 3 Hugin, 1 Munin, 1 Geri and the rest go to Invoked monsters.
First turn Hugin to fetch fountain and tribute for Majesty is a massive stop to most decks, and even if they have some spell removal you still have slumbers or can chain any runick quick play to get out another Hugin as her protection effect doesn't "activate."
Seeing the deck I've wanted for years used as a versatile engine makes me sad because this means this deck is going to be hit even harder in the next ban list. I mean, I understand why, but I'm not happy about it. Konami really should've made the deck more restricted to its own archetype.
Correct me if i'm wrong but if you have Fountain on the field and 5 Runick QP's in the GY, if you activate 1 Runick QP can you activate Fountain's trigger effect and place only 1 Runick QP to the bottom of the deck and draw 3?
Also, can you explain again Fountain's 'soft' once per turn effect if I have 2 in hand?
No, you only draw what you placed under your deck which is always a max. of 3. One of them can even be DD Crow'd, which leaves with 2 cards under the deck and 2 cards to draw.
Regarding the soft once per turn: as per its card text, fountain isnt once per turn by its card name, but by card. so, if you have a second one in hand, you can "replace" your Fountain, which has already used its effect to draw cards, by the second fountain from your hand. Use some runick QP's and use Fountains effect again
Thousand-Eyes Restrict/Gravity Bind, Ghostrick, Runick. Battle phase no longer matters and you mill your opponent.
Give the deck list g
nice
Make a video about the Journey of tier 0 formats
I find it funny that the Runick archetype was revealed just a single day after the only real counter to them got banned. Let's be real, if there was any argument to keep IO, it's solely this irritating engine (not saying let's bring that floodgate back, it's just a testament to how irritating the engine is to play against even when properly prepared.)
Gonna finish my fast after this vid lol
Is macro cosmos and anti - spell fragrance deck enough to shutdown this annoying deck?
Kashtira is way more annoying to play against than Runick, in my experience.
What about the new fusion that was released last week? How good is that?
It does stack on yugioh nexus. I'm pretty sure they made a ruling so it always stacks.
Hmm interesting, I wouldn’t think so because it says NEXT battle phase meaning the immediate next one. 🤷♂️

If a Runick player can't draw you win.

Honestly makes me sad that Runick immediately became a floodgate loving archetype. If you play it pure its a very fun archetype that had a distinct play style that I really enjoy. Sadly, the way it's played makes people hate it, and I understand.
I tried pure Runick on edopro, not a big fan (probably built it wrong tho).
Maybe stop understanding. It's really stupid when interesting decks get blamed for the sins of cards that are splashed in. The same happens to *every* control deck, like Labyrinth, Eldlich, Floo, etc. People need to get better about directing their ire, or else we just look like petulant children who don't deserve to have our concerns taken seriously.
I used to experience the same back when I played Floo. The Barrier Statue was boring, so I didn't play it. Instead, I just focused on Raiza and Snowl. The deck was still super competent. I wanted nothing more than for the Barrier Statues to all get banned so people would stop complaining.
Instead, they just ended up hitting things like Map to kill the decks' playability BEFORE they ever did anything about the Barrier Statue. It was so fucking annoying!
@@minabasejderha5972 The same is also true for every combo deck ever and generic extra deck monsters.
@@minabasejderha5972 i.e; "I understand". -me, who doesn't need to be told why I should need to write a thesis statement about a situation, when you and, most likely, everyone else, understands with a simple "I understand"
Runick naturia doesn't play annoying floodgates and it's a very good deck
Though in a best of 1 format like master duel playing a floodgate heavy deck like runick stun is definitely a more valid strategy because people can't side in outs to it and or have to sacrifice valuable main deck space for cards that are useless against other strategies
Do a video about how Fusion used to be a failed mechanic but then became meta.
Didn't he cover that before (albeit perhaps on the side during the explanations in other videos)?
Runic decks are difficult to play against. They always beat me by running out my deck
Please do unchained homie I need to fall asleep to a relevant deck
So they banish your opponents cards and you get to go plus and negate or pop your opponent's stuff? How is that not considered broken? The cards don't even sound like they go minus or neutral😊
They don't go minus, they maintain card advantage most of time, the only way they gain card advantage are by drawing or if they somehow draw Runick Tip, it will auto +1 over time
So if they draw floodgates they gonna brick during the duel
Woop woop
...To think, that MST can void Runick Fountain's resolution.
don't know if anyone said this, but I would play a fps based off the runick cards (you can't argue that all the quick spell cards don't look like they are from a fps game)
Just pop fountain on your turn and watch them cry as you otk
It’s All fun and games until invader of darkness shows up…
D-Hero Dark Angel says Hi.
the Master duel nightmare deck
I love to combo this deck with spright. Since both uses level 2 monsters to fully combo.
You only hate it until you use it, is quite a toxic and stalling deck but goddamn does it works on instant surrenders
DD Dynamite makes skipping your BP very worth it.
Lava golem and sphere mode
I’ve finally given In😭
1:40 Is that an engine? I am pretty sure that's just playing the full deck
I still cant comprehend how Konami allows a field spell that is a pot of greed on crack, with a cost less than Pot of Avarice, just because it belongs to the archetype that has no maindeck monster 😢 not even a hard archetype restriction ffs
In theory it's easy to beat. Just pop fountain three times. In action many decks can't do that unless they're Rogue decks
Well, that the archetype has no main deck monsters is a serious issue.
Monsters have useful effects, have bodies that can be used as material for all kinds of plays or even just for their stats, and generally stick around until they are removed from the field.
Quickplay spells are used once and then gone, which more often than not puts you behind in card advantage.
They also are spell cards, so if you had to set them to use them on your opponent's turn they could just be dustered.
The only ways to make up for that other than draw power are to make your opponent draw less (which doesn't really exist on a permanent card) or prevent them from using their cards, i. e. floodgates.
Floodgates can prevent your opponent from playing altogether and require resource investment to be outed, which can put you on more or less equal footing as far as card advantage is concerned.
That, however, is boring and disliked by the player base.
Runick Fountain is a genius solution to this problem.
It makes up for the loss in card advantage and protects your playmakers from backrow hate (as you can now use them from the hand at all times).
All the Runick Quickplay names can only be activated once per turn, so if you can play through one monster destruction, one spell/trap destruction, one targeted negate, and possibly one handrip, you're golden (note that drawing into all these is the _best_ case scenario for the Runick player).
Besides, usually YGO is played in a best-of-three format, so you have the opportunity to side in all the backrow hate and anti-banish floodgates (Artifact Lancea, Chaos Hunter, Imeprial Iron Wall) that you could possibly need.
In best-of-one, there's no way around maindecking some of these, if your deck cannot inherently banish Fountain, which kind of kills the deck right there (Runick cannot recover their spells, if they're banished, and without the Field spell its turns are numbered).
Heres a quickier tip,in md:Dust it all, irl:burn it,shove the ashes in the toilet,do your big call and then flush,if someone use these cards,he should check up with the local psychiatrist,and then stay in a mental hospital for 2 months (keep doing the good work hiru,your vids are great,thats just my appreciation for these cards from the bottom of my heart :D )
17 main deck soaces and 5 extra deck spaces sounds more like a deck then an engine tbh
When are when gonna to get a Fallout archtype lol.
*Invader of Darkness entered the chat.
I faced 2 runick decks in a row shut them down with Pacifis going first both tines
I haven't really played yugioh in 10 years but I've watched you for like 5 and from an outsider these new meta decks actually seems real fun - Ishizu and Ruinick at least and I love how splashable to other archetypes they are
Seeing for examples archetypes like Nordics and naturia that I'm familiar with being able to compete thanks to Ruinick is hela cool no matter how toxic the decks are (yugioh has always been more or less toxic)
as a MD player: it isn't fun to play against
@@TheHOZ95 That's an MD issue though. It's a lot fairer and "funner" to play against in a bo3

I think most people is concern on how to play against Runick 🤭
Only 1 fountain is allowed now in masterduel
Thats no engine.
Thats a whole deck.
half a deck
That's one of Runick downside that most overlook. It is an draw engine that requires half the deck space for mediocre cards.
What does pot of greed doooooo
Duel Logs: "Oh no, runicks prevent you from using the Battle phase, but battle phase is so imprtant..."
People who play against full runicks, going 2nd: Well, half of my deck already got banished, including my important combo pieces, opponent has full board setup and a full hand of 4-6, only way i win now is that the opponent disconnects or leaves because of whatever...
Except for albaz Deck, dont know the Deck Name atm, branded i believe.... Couse those Deck can pull some banished Card Back into Deck/Hand/field
a few seconds later: I no longer have a deck due to my opponents runic control cards. Due to be playing in duelist cup, I have to wait about 2- 2 and 1/2 minute depending on how hard my opponent wants to BM me to get anything from the duel be for passing the duel and ending me by deck out.
@@spenozazockt4260 eben branded gets Most of the time crippled by runick...
Depends on the Variant tho...
not sure about MD
But having half your deck banished doesn't spell the end for you (at least if you're playing a meta deck - probably the same for MD but idk)
I got at least half my deck banished by Runick all the time and haven't lost to any of its variations yet in TCG format
