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

Actually, right now it’s closer to

  1. Nekroz

  2. Shaddolls
  3. BA/Tellars/Qliphorts (still mildly relevant enough even with the hits).

I may give Tellars a bump thanks to the Seraphs coming out but we’ll see. Shaddolls are making a comeback since they aren’t screwed by the pincer attack of Nekroz/Qliphorts. And once their Water Fusion drops that matchup becomes a LOT closer to even (though I still get Nekroz the edge, maybe 6-4).

Question is how much is this new Ra card going to cost? People have already shown that they’re willing to drop 200 on one Nekroz card.

Completely different context.

Brionac:

  • Brionac is arguably the most important card in the absolute best deck during a format
  • It’s a Secret Rare in the set it was released in.
  • It’s a 3 of in said deck (now 2-of, hence the price drop)
  • It was also short printed.

Ra:

  • Max of an Ultra Rare in the set it’ll be in.
  • Very niche card only usable in one deck.
  • Collector’s/Casual Card.

Demand for Ra will be a lot lower and the supply will be a lot greater, hence a MUCH lower price point than 200. It’d be $50 max and that’s being pretty damn generous.

So…

Evilswarm is pretty strong at the moment.

But that new DracoKnight card. That art so good.

Maybe Draco-Equistte or however it’s spelled gets errated/retconned into being a Draco-Knight (like how Summoned Skull is technically an Archfiend card)?

Evilswarm is not strong…at all. Idk where the hell you’re getting that from. It’s definitely not its format.

As for new cards the main thing to focus on…is that we have 2 Pendulum Tuners now.

Agreed. They got NOTHING that would stop necroz.

Btw. My boy got his 2nd Broniac. He’s gonna sell the entire deck. How much you think he’ll get?

Depending on the extra, he could get around $200-$250. Definitely a far cry from when a set of Brio alone ran $390-450.

And today…wasn’t my best day at locals. My topping streak has ended.

My Nekroz managed to get locked by Number 86 made by 5 Tellarknight. Fun.

Good! Down with Blue Cards!

Teller knights or BA w anti-spell fragrance could really handle Necroz well imo

The problem is ASF is a non-tutorable floodgate. It’s only as good as the deck it’s in.

That and it can be a double edged sword and impede your own gameplay if it isn’t used right.

As a Nekroz player, I can tell you that ASF is not that good a floodgate, and I will simply go after your other set cards. You best play Dust Tornado to support it.

We have a problem.

People are starting to figure out that you can splash the Djinn Lock in a hell of a lot of decks with only a three card investment.

Are any Djinn ritual decks viable now? I’ve been out of the game in a minute, but last time I played despite the lock I didn’t win a lot of matches with my Northwemko deck, but when it worked people got frustrated as hell.

Nekroz, though technically they aren’t.

He’s just a tech you have to prepare for like Vanity’s. Only instead of MSTs, you need something to take out a 2300 Defense position monster.

The problem is now…ANY deck that plays Warriors can play Djinn Lock. All you need is one Djinn, Nekroz of Clausolas and Nekroz Cycle.

RotA out Clausolas, ditch it for Cycle, if you have a Djinn ready, Djinn lock.

Dark Synchro, Satellars, HEROs…if you’re playing Triple RotA and can make Rank 4s (for Lavalval Chain)…yeah… If nothing else it’s an annoying Side Deck play but it’s easily mained as well.

Well…just what we needed…more Lightsworn support.

Dont forget Geargia shit too.

Sometimes I still question myself as to why I still play this game. Its stale and the power creep is too real. I always wanted konami to just make one massive ban list that would make the game more refreshing but itll never happen.

news?

The game wouldn’t be any more refreshing. Banning the top only brings up a different top tier. And as much as everyone here seems to adore Goat Format, I can’t stand it. I feel like you lose to more bullshit in Goat Format than you do in this format.

And honestly I was starting to feel the same way, though I think World Superstars bringing a ton of decks up helps. It also doesn’t help that I’m basically in charge of bringing the DBZ CCG up at my locals so my attention is split. I’m starting to get slightly more motivated again though.
