The New Yu-Gi-Oh Thread: Construct Joins Stratos in the Halfway House

Well I was talking about the Traptrix Archetype in general, not just Nightmare but honestly until now it wasn’t used terribly much. But with the advent of Wiretap what was the preferred trap over it, Black Horn of Heaven, got ridiculously marginalized. The one thing it had over Nightmare was being a Counter Trap, which Wiretap has made irrelevant. Now Nightmare is the superior card and it just happens to coincide with the Traptrix Archetype hitting Tier 1 courtesy of Dionaea and Artifacts which sends Nightmare through the roof of demand.

:rofl:

Well Traptrix monsters coming back is alright with me. It’s not the worst thing to become tier one in my book.

Has anybody figured out something broken with pot of dichotomy? That card is almost Avarice levels of broken imo(the no battle phase thing hurts quite a bit).

No, because no matter how much value you get out of Dichotomy, its restrictions hold it back. People may say what they will, losing a Battle Phase hurts. Soul Charge is one of the few cards to get away with it because you can afford to lose one Battle Phase if it means unbeatable field control. But Dichotomy being so restrictive on the Battle Phase, on the Type Restriction AND having to be used in the beginning of Main Phase 1 which means it can’t even be a backup plan…it just hurts. Way too overhyped of a card and I saw through that shit right away.

And we have our Top 32 decks.

10 Geargia
9 Traptrix variants
3 Infernity
2 Bujin
2 Evilswarm
2 Madolche
2 Mythic Ruler
1 Inzektor
1 Mermail
1 Unknown deck

Are the traptrix decks just trapartifacts and handtrix?

Correct. I’m just too lazy to type extra words. :coffee:

Traphix put in work! I wonder what made ALOT of people play that?

When they got their own Wolfbark.

Man that’s sick LOL

I wonder if I should just mod my Cyber Dragons a bit, since they seem to be the natural enemy of Geargia thanks to Chimeratech Fortress.

Played in free tourny at ACEN, got 3rd, only got beat by 1st place. Everyone was surprised I did so well with Harpies without Dracosack and Lightning Chidori. Best game was when I brought out Zerofyne on Noble Knights, negated everything, and made him lose 5 cards with one attack.

They actually aren’t Geargia’s natural enemy.

Why wouldn’t they be? Geargia are Machines and Chimeratech Fortress Dragon uses Machines from either side of the field as Fusion Material.

If geargia player goes first, 99% of the time it’s set armor and back row then you have to deal with that. If you go first you really can’t do much except set protection and negation.

And geargia otks out the ass so unless you can stop the swarm, chimera isn’t coming out.

Yeah, look past the Types Rock.

Geargia will never leave themselves open to a big Fortress play unless they’re pushing for game. Otherwise they grind advantage with Armor and Gigant and won’t leave many Machines out unless absolutely necessary.

And they can always replace the monster advantage they have lost.

Well…interesting news which could determine the ultimate fate of Dueling Network and YGO/DevPro.

Konami has released their own official Yugioh Simulator (well, the Open Beta of it at least)

https://www.duelarena.konami.com/

However, it seems pretty hardcore when it comes to F2P designs. You know, Pay to Progress, limited amount of times you can duel without paying…hurray…

Better than arguing with an 8 year old whether you drew for turn or not…

If you say so. :coffee:

Anyone wanna Duel?

I’m on YGO pro and Dueling network under my own name.

EDIT: I’ll be on in 1 hour or so

I imagine it’s more automated like the games than D Pro.

It is, however I find automated systems make people complacent. Half the battle is knowing what card interactions you can do and where you can place them, and an automated system just does all of that itself.

And I hate to do a Cena quote, but it actually fits the current state of the format.
