Well tbf, Lunalight is a fusion strategy, but it can be used as a great xyz spam deck so you can cut it both ways its either which cards the deck predominantly ends on, or which ones it uses to make its board
funnily enough, while it is less efficient, a pure rikka deck can play around extra deck locks like dimensional barrier and scythe, the high level main deck monsters have high enough attack to contest a lot of monsters and have strong enough negates with princess and hellebore/tytannial plus konkon and sheet, obviously it's not as strong as the sunavalon variant, but it's decent.
D/D/D is a pendulum deck as 90% of your monsters are in fact pendulum monsters. Just like trif summon 10 billion negates with extra deck monsters by way of pend summoning, D/D/D gets to their end board by way of gilgamesh set scales and pend summon :).
Prior to the release of the Link they definitely weren't. You never pendulum summoned. You would use Xyz, Fusion, Synchro, and Link, and the deck was filled with pendulums, but you didn't use the pendulum mechanic in the sense most decks do. It was as much a pendulum deck as Masked Heroes were a fusion deck. So depends on how you define it.
To be fair for D/D/D, it has every summoning type except for Rituals and it goes through all of them for the combo. Lunalight, however, isn't a Pendulum deck, seeing as how it only has one viable Pendulum card. It's more of a Fusion deck.
There's a simple answer to this, if your deck consistently pend summons in it's combos, you're a pend deck. Lunalight does not pend summon, Plunder does not pend summon, D/D/D however does.
Remember this is only Farfa's opinion, it doesn't actually hold any real mean... "Anyone who says Drytron is their favorite Ritual deck is wrong." - Farfa Your honor, I would like to retract my previous statement.
Farfa was right about D/D PRIOR to their Link Monster. Which facilitated pendulum summoning for the deck. Before then it was rare for the deck to pendulum summon, even if they played many pendulum monsters. The Link monster just straight up gives them scales. Nowadays they definitely are though.
@@danielramsey6141 No I mean what I said. When the structure deck came out, Copernicus and Kepler were your high and low scales. The issue is, you almost never end up using them in the scales because their on field effects are much better. The other scales (Oblivion King, Thomas) are basically useless for the deck as scales, and you're usually popping them or summoning them from the scale (Oblivion King with his own effect, Meteorburst Dragon, or Thomas popping). This also means you rarely have two monsters in the scale, because they don't have the floating in the way pendulum decks do when they're popped. Basically the only time you would pendulum summon is if you were making an extremely suboptimal play, or you somehow got into some insane grind game where you have get Kepler back with Thomas Effect, which can theoretically get you a free Oblivion King... You know why that never happens? Because Oblivion King is usually in the grave because you use him for Rank 8 plays, so... Yeah. Hope I made my point. Structure Deck era D/D/D is one of my all time favorites, but no, you never pendulum summon.

Drytron Cydra is a hilarious deck to run. Comboing like crazy with Drytrons, then dropping a truly colossal Eltanin followed up by Cyberload Fusion into Overdragon for Unga Bunga is great fun.
@@julianchrobak-prince1915 Heralds had no futureproofing whatsoever and are a nearly Infernity-tier case study of why once-per-turn is extremely important in card design. Rituals do not deserve to be permanently useless as a mechanic purely to excuse Heralds' mistake.
Indeed, I mean, the main boss IS a pendulum monster, and works surprisingly well as a pendulum card, There's been times when it's pendulum effect actually saved me.
As someone who plays D/D, I'd put it as favorite pendulum deck only because it's the only deck I play that uses pendulums. I know that the deck does almost all mechanics, but I'd still put it as favorite pendulum. As for my other favorites. Fluffals for fusion, Synchron for synchro, Galaxy for xyz. As for ritual and link don't have one cause I don't play anything where those are a primary mechanic. Mainly just use archetype links and things that help the deck like cross sheep for fluffals.
I think the problem is Farfa kinda misunderstood his own prompt. He was looking for your favorite decks that use x mechanic but got all tied up with the point that decks listed didn't have that mechanic as their core identity. Its just people's favourite deck that uses that mechanic, if there isnt a pure pend deck listed it's because they dont like/play those archetypes obviously.
@@david21216 it's pretty dumb to say "he misunderstood his own prompt", he was looking for decks centered around those mechanics. People submitted something different. if someone says their playing an xyz deck, it doesn't mean they're playing a deck that *can* xyz summon as part of their mechanic, it means they're 100% going to go into xyz monsters as their core strategy. It's like getting mad he said Dark Magician wasn't a fusion deck. the DDD take was wrong, bc of their combo with the link monster now, but yall were the ones with the who got the prompt wrong.
D/D/D I would argue is considered a pendulum deck due to their link monster setting the scales and if you took out the pendulum cards the deck doesn't function
D/D Has 55 monsters in total, 27 of which are pendulums; so LITERALLY half of the monsters are Pendulum monsters, you cannot convince me that's not a pendulum deck.
@@Poske_Ygo Actually D/D plays one of the higher variety of their archetypal cards among most other archetypes, in MD alone they play around 16-20 1 offs (including both Extra and Main deck) and IDK many other archetypes that do that, that arent super old or like Albaz or something
@@amethonys2798 Thats a link2, not a Pend. Also you only really benefit from scalling Ragnarok everything else is not that insane in terms of value. One of the things D/d/D PLAYERS want the most is a scale 1/0 on the same level of Ragnaron in terms of quallity. You can also play D/d/D without the LINK2 because D/d Lock is what dampens that deck super hard.
@PoskeYugituber If you are going to argue that Gilgamesh isn't pend support then Electrumite and Beyond the Pendulum somehow also aren't right? Like what even is this argument?
I will always stay with monarch being my favourite deck. It's just so funny to beat actual meta deck or things like D/D/D or Tearlament with a fricking tribute summoned deck
Farfa saying "I won't elaborate" has the same energy as those people on twitter who think something is demonic/racist/sexist but they can't explain why.
Farfa, lets makes a deal, a pendulum deck needs to have at least 5+ card variant pendulum monsters, where most of the monster in the said deck are used for their pendulum spell effect. I think we can agree that it is correct.
isnt it easier to say "pend deck is deck that uses its pend summon more than it doesnt" or a pend deck is deck that has more than a high and a low scale because they gave that to almost every archetype made in that certain timespan
I never touched Heral Drytron. I do have a Drytron deck with some good generic ritual monsters and extra deck monsters. I really enjoy the deck that way even though it isn't all that good.
Ddd is pend because when it was introduced in arc v, it’s trump card was the fact that it was the only deck besides yuya’s performopals that could pend summon at the start of the show.
D/D/D at its core is always gonna be a pendulum deck While it has every summoning mechanic (except ritual), in order to summon anything/search/etc. What do you need to summon? A level 1 pendulum. What's their new boss monster? A PENDULUM xyz
D/D literally end on no fusions, except if they messed up, but they ALWAYS want scales. Like, they’d be happy to end up on synchros, XYZs and/or links if they thought they could keep their pendulums. Gilgamesh literally holds the archetype together through sheer power by letting you scale lol
"Imagine taking a 10-year hiatus from Yu-Gi-Oh, you come back to master duel on January 9th, 2022, ready to have run with your friend and someone goes Alpha discard Zeta."

If you give me robot dragons as any summoning mechanic focused deck, that has to be my favorite. I don't know what you want from me, if they didn't want it to be my favorite deck, they shouldn't have made Drytrons robot dragons.
I put mine in the thread but Farfor was a coward so here's mine. Ritual: Vendread (Nouvelle now) Fusion: Thunder Dragon Synchro: Mannadium Xyz: Phantom Knights Pend: DDD Link: Striker
Okay now I need to defend my marine friends the gishkis! Yes a couple of our eldritch pals may have enabled degenerate combos/ftks, but you have to admit that Zielgigas otk/control was one of the coolest decks ever, plus nereimanes is really neat!
Favourite XYZ deck is Rikka Favourite Fusion deck is Predaplants Favourite Link deck is Sunavalon Favourite Synchro deck is Aromage Favourite Pendulum deck is also Predaplants Favourite Ritual deck i-- Look just give me a Rikka Ritual boss monster
I'm not making a plebbit account, so I am posting my deck types here: -Favourite ritual: Dark Demise (Demise/Chaos MAX/Borreload Riot) -Favourite fusion: HERO's atm, might change in the future -Favourite Synchro: Swordsoul Tenyi -Favourite XYZ: Raidraptors -Favourite pendulum: Odd eyes, I suppose -Favourite Link: Sky Striker
As the order appears, favorite (not best) ritual heralds. Favorite synchro is still TG because librarian was just one of my all time favorites. Favorite pendulum Deskbots lol. Favorite fusion is still 60 card invoked mill from 2020. Favorite XYZ has always and will forever be trains. They make most XYZ ranks now and it's just so much fun for deck building. Link unfortunately for anybody patient enough to get this far is trickstar burn. Something about going back to duel network and making a dark room+trickstar lycorisa combo to hit for 7k hit different
Gotta say, my favorite all time deck is Vampires. Mixing the old and new cards makes the deck flow in some very strange ways. Too bad it’s nowhere near good or competitive if you play pure
In terms of faves mine would be: Libromancer for Ritual Dark Magician for Fusion (really if it's Fusion or Spellcaster focused I generally like it anyway) Black Rose Dragon for Sync (don't really like synchro at all but they are the sole dragons I actually like in YGO) Toss up between Melffy and Zoodiac for XYZ I guess Endymion for Pend (I don't like pendulum at all and prefer the designs of the main characters stuff but being used to make dragons is big sad and at least Endymion is Magistus related) Finally, Link is a toss up between Unchained and Live/Evil Twins (which is why I play them together)
Just because pend magicians end board is a apollousa, baronne, borreload, vortex and dweller doesn't mean it isn't a pendulum deck Same thing for D/D/D
My favorite is Gold pride overall. Sets up interruptions but not negates which means you have to actually think about how to use them. Plus redline goes hard
Mikanko or silent voice, windwitch, solphacord, melodius diva/albaz, melffy, marincess. Basically anything cute is always up there as my favorites. I love the lore in particular of fallen of albaz, even if it's not cute. Im a filthy casual 😂
my favourite ritual deck is drytron and i hate how it's associated exactly with herald which i have summoned exactly ZERO times edit: i also don't use draconids a lot, he's in almost every deck i built with drytrons but he's not the best at going first, barely going second too he fulfills basic needs which i can fulfill better using other rituals and synchros and what remains is a niche that rarely comes up but it does
alright, let's do this ritual: Prediction Princess synchro: I don't have any, but Mannadium looks promising Pend'lum: laughing crying emoji Fusion: Tears (I love my mermaids) Xyz: My beloved Tellarknights Link: Orcust. As a player, I define myself as "I play a light or a dark" (depending the format).
favorite fusion deck lunalight, favorite pend deck lunalight, favorite, xyz deck pk raidraptor hold together exclusively by tiger chick, favorite link deck orcust also being held together exclusively by tiger chick, favorite synchro you can probably make synchros with tiger chick loop favorite ritual deck ritual beast the ritual deck that has neither ritual spells nor ritual monsters
@@TheLunatrick and don't we forget lunalights xyz sisterhood of the lunalight tiger kings second effect is so good going second. its the reason why hard go second lunalight tearlament can break any board if it doesn't brick

Vendread, Ghoti, (I legitimately don’t really play pendulum decks, just decks that have like a pendulum monster as support. If I had to answer I would say like predaplant), Shaddolls, Galaxy Eyes (because it’s the only dedicated xyz deck I have), Beetrooper. I like me some decks.
Why D/D/D is a Pendulum deck: 1.) Sure it also runs Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link monsters. A Fusion/Pendulum monster, a Synchro/Pendulum monster, and an Xyz/Pendulum monster. It's kinda the counterpart to Odd-Eyes. 2.) Because Akaba is an Arc-V character not strongly tied to the Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz dimensions. He's from the Standard dimension, which became the Pendulum dimension.
My first or second part of my combo in D/D/D is to summon Gilgamesh and set scales. I always set scales for effects, even if I don’t pend summon, which I usually go
A bit late but wanted to comment mine for the algorithm. Ritual: Nouvelles Fusion: Dinomorphia Synchro: Ghoti Xyz: Gunkan Suship Pendulum: Dinomist Link: Appliancer
I came and started on Master Duel a few days ago, made infernoble knights (I did the smaller research in something that was good) played so many dark magician decks😂, blue-eyes, warrior decks, and then I saw something called Sprite😭😭😭 it’s been 10 years since I played, burning abyss just came out when I quit
d/d/d pendulum deck arguments: half the cards in the main deck are pendulums, you pendulum summon once per turn, half the extra deck monsters are pendulum monsters. my arguments have now been shown.
Nephthys gang rise up! They may not gonna get their new supports anytime soon, but we (or at least I) still believed they will and even if they don't I just make Nephthys custom cards

Baron is support for the Fleur archetype, the anime deck from the one french chick in 5ds
Fluffals rise up.
Favourite XYZ deck is Rikka
Favourite Fusion deck is Predaplants
Favourite Link deck is Sunavalon
Favourite Synchro deck is Aromage
Favourite Pendulum deck is also Predaplants
Favourite Ritual deck i--
Look just give me a Rikka Ritual boss monster
I notice a pattern here
Now I think about it, there's not a plant ritual moster right?
@@chrisb.2028now u mentioned it, it need to get plant ritual archtype
@@chrisb.2028 you are 100% correct
I never thought of it until now but a ritual would probably be perfect. The summoning goes hand in hand with their tributing playstyle
So, from what I can tell, according to Farfa, there are only two kinds of Yugioh decks: bad and boring.
I'm not making a plebbit account, so I am posting my deck types here:
-Favourite ritual: Dark Demise (Demise/Chaos MAX/Borreload Riot)
-Favourite fusion: HERO's atm, might change in the future
-Favourite Synchro: Swordsoul Tenyi
-Favourite XYZ: Raidraptors
-Favourite pendulum: Odd eyes, I suppose
-Favourite Link: Sky Striker
As the order appears, favorite (not best) ritual heralds. Favorite synchro is still TG because librarian was just one of my all time favorites. Favorite pendulum Deskbots lol. Favorite fusion is still 60 card invoked mill from 2020. Favorite XYZ has always and will forever be trains. They make most XYZ ranks now and it's just so much fun for deck building. Link unfortunately for anybody patient enough to get this far is trickstar burn. Something about going back to duel network and making a dark room+trickstar lycorisa combo to hit for 7k hit different
Fusion deck players are just kids that want to fuse their parents back together to get a functioning household
DDD is considered a pend deck as it was created in the pend era of the anime having most there monsters being pend monsters
2:43 if you don't summon Pendulum Monsters in D/D/D you literally don't have a functioning Deck
I’m sorry but saying Abyss Actors isn’t a pendulum deck might be the worst take I’ve seen farfa have 😂
Gotta say, my favorite all time deck is Vampires. Mixing the old and new cards makes the deck flow in some very strange ways. Too bad it’s nowhere near good or competitive if you play pure
In terms of faves mine would be:
Libromancer for Ritual
Dark Magician for Fusion (really if it's Fusion or Spellcaster focused I generally like it anyway)
Black Rose Dragon for Sync (don't really like synchro at all but they are the sole dragons I actually like in YGO)
Toss up between Melffy and Zoodiac for XYZ
I guess Endymion for Pend (I don't like pendulum at all and prefer the designs of the main characters stuff but being used to make dragons is big sad and at least Endymion is Magistus related)
Finally, Link is a toss up between Unchained and Live/Evil Twins (which is why I play them together)
Unchained Twins is a based strategy. you just reminded me I need to try out that deck again with the new unchained support.
My pic
Garlandolf the king of destruction
Chaos archfiend
Amorphage
Gem-knights
Red-eyes
Tri-brigate
Dark world until the end
I'm offended you didn't put my response in
Would've loved to hear a 3 hour rant about Fur Hire and Infernoble Knight lmao
We not gonna talk about darkworld being a favorite fusion archetype when they have 1 fusion
Just because pend magicians end board is a apollousa, baronne, borreload, vortex and dweller doesn't mean it isn't a pendulum deck
Same thing for D/D/D
My favorite is Gold pride overall. Sets up interruptions but not negates which means you have to actually think about how to use them. Plus redline goes hard
Drytron just needed its ritual spell to ARCHETYPE lock or MACHINE lock and it would be the most based deck
but we not live in that reality
Due to having a bunch of card that care about Machine rituals, it would be a Machine lock. Heck, u just need Meteonis to only summon Machines.
Best D/D/D monster is gilgamesh :
player : "scale please ?"
Gilgy boy : "Yes my lord, go + 4 with pendulum summon + pendulum effects"
Mikanko or silent voice, windwitch, solphacord, melodius diva/albaz, melffy, marincess. Basically anything cute is always up there as my favorites. I love the lore in particular of fallen of albaz, even if it's not cute. Im a filthy casual 😂
my favourite ritual deck is drytron and i hate how it's associated exactly with herald which i have summoned exactly ZERO times
edit: i also don't use draconids a lot, he's in almost every deck i built with drytrons but he's not the best at going first, barely going second too
he fulfills basic needs which i can fulfill better using other rituals and synchros and what remains is a niche that rarely comes up but it does
DDD is a pendulum deck thanks to gilgamesh completing its scales. It was the missing combo piece DDD always needed.
alright, let's do this
ritual: Prediction Princess
synchro: I don't have any, but Mannadium looks promising
Pend'lum: laughing crying emoji
Fusion: Tears (I love my mermaids)
Xyz: My beloved Tellarknights
Link: Orcust.
As a player, I define myself as "I play a light or a dark" (depending the format).
Fsvorite Normal Summon deck:
I know you know what it is.
Farfa Half of the D/D/D deck are just pendulum monsters and they use the pendulum monsters to summon out more pendulum monster or effect monsters
Favorite fusion deck: ThunDra
Favorite XYZ deck: Galaxy-Eyes
Favorite Synchro deck: Nordic
Favorite ritual deck: Revendread
Favorite pend deck: D/D/D
Favorite Link deck: Salamangreat
I was expecting Thundra (Day 13059, still waiting for any playable support)
@@reservationatdorsias3215 we wait together brother, we wait together
@@mgdplayz5727 Salad got their new cards, Striker got Linkage and 2 new Links, fingers crossed Thundra is next and not Orcust.
Favorite Decks
Ritual- Vendread
Fusion- Fluffal
Syncrho- Syncrhon
XYZ- Phantom Knights
Pendulum- Abyss Actor
Link- Beetroopers/Code Talkers
favorite fusion deck lunalight, favorite pend deck lunalight, favorite, xyz deck pk raidraptor hold together exclusively by tiger chick, favorite link deck orcust also being held together exclusively by tiger chick, favorite synchro you can probably make synchros with tiger chick loop favorite ritual deck ritual beast the ritual deck that has neither ritual spells nor ritual monsters
Lunalight kaleido chick + tiger is so a fucken amazing combo starter
@@TheLunatrick and don't we forget lunalights xyz sisterhood of the lunalight tiger kings second effect is so good going second. its the reason why hard go second lunalight tearlament can break any board if it doesn't brick
lol I have a couple vids on my channel going second against tear players filling my GY aswell as I went second and just played though all their interruptions th-cam.com/video/FvdPwENvqZw/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Lunatrick@@esrohm6460
Ritual - Nouvellez
Fusion - Shaddoll
Synchro - T.G. (maybe Centurion will take its place)
XYZ - Ghostrick
Pendulum - Solfachord
Link - Marincess
Where my Synchron gamers at?! 😮
Vendread, Ghoti, (I legitimately don’t really play pendulum decks, just decks that have like a pendulum monster as support. If I had to answer I would say like predaplant), Shaddolls, Galaxy Eyes (because it’s the only dedicated xyz deck I have), Beetrooper.
I like me some decks.
Why D/D/D is a Pendulum deck:
1.) Sure it also runs Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link monsters. A Fusion/Pendulum monster, a Synchro/Pendulum monster, and an Xyz/Pendulum monster. It's kinda the counterpart to Odd-Eyes.
2.) Because Akaba is an Arc-V character not strongly tied to the Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz dimensions. He's from the Standard dimension, which became the Pendulum dimension.
My 6: Mikanko, Dark Synchro (Librarian would probably be the card), Yosenju, Shaddoll, Rank 10 Machines, World Chalice
D/D/D's boss monster is literally an xyz pendulum
Ritual: Nephtys
Fusion: Metalfoes
Synchro: Bone tower FTK
XYZ: Gender or Bujin
Pendulum: Deskbot kek
Link: Krawler
My favorite pendulum deck is performapal and its pretty much just a bad version of pendulum magician
My first or second part of my combo in D/D/D is to summon Gilgamesh and set scales. I always set scales for effects, even if I don’t pend summon, which I usually go
Galaxy eyes best deck fight me
Nah, Photon way better
Nah, galaxy eyes photon dragon equip beatdown is best
I casually slap galaxy decks 😂
A bit late but wanted to comment mine for the algorithm.
Ritual: Nouvelles
Fusion: Dinomorphia
Synchro: Ghoti

Link: Appliancer
Surprised there was no shaddoll anywhere in these lists.
Fusion: Lunalight
Ritual: Libromancer
Synchro: Crystron
Xyz: Lyrilusc
Pendulum: Solfachord
Link: Live*Twins (Tri-Brigade is a close second)
I came and started on Master Duel a few days ago, made infernoble knights (I did the smaller research in something that was good) played so many dark magician decks😂, blue-eyes, warrior decks, and then I saw something called Sprite😭😭😭 it’s been 10 years since I played, burning abyss just came out when I quit

Dave. There you go. I named one Spright monster. Which one is named Dave, I'll let you figure that part out yourself.

d/d/d pendulum deck arguments: half the cards in the main deck are pendulums, you pendulum summon once per turn, half the extra deck monsters are pendulum monsters. my arguments have now been shown.
sorry forgot 1 argument: they have a link 2 that literally sets the pendulum scales from 0-5 for you or if you want to be ballsy go with the 0-10
Oh, so he's ok with calling Plunder pendulum deck for having Jord but NOT DDD. Okay Farfa
Where the fuck am I supposed to put Kozmo in this format?
Nephthys gang rise up! They may not gonna get their new supports anytime soon, but we (or at least I) still believed they will and even if they don't I just make Nephthys custom cards
Ritual: libromancer, fusion: lunalight, syncro: speedroid, xyz: raidraptor, pendulum: dynomist, link: rokket
2:46 okay so lets say you play burning abyss and you can only special summon xyz monsters
