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

Christ dat terrible mermaids deck. Maybe I should come to YCS events b/c clearly niggas are confused.

Next thing we have learned.

  • Lightning > Water

Raigeki isn’t supposed to beat Mermails. How did that match even make on stream with is ol Genex Controller having ass @Saitsu

Because there would’ve been riots if they put on another Monarch mirror.

We went through the top 5 decks though, so outside of a random Super Quantum deck I don’t expect to see much else for the rest of the day in Features.

Next thing we learned.

  • Never mind what I said, Ruri Raptors did things.
  • Monarchs are the most charitable deck around. They just love building apartments with all their bricks.

RaidRaptors are garbagio. And I play rogue currently. I hope everybody buys this deck and rush to sell it when it never wins.

Yeah they aren’t good. But they’re an anime archetype so they’re always due for support and all they really need is a RUM searcher. So honestly they’re still not a terrible investment.

That stream is unbearable fam. I’ll wait til tomorrow

Round 5 Learnings:

  • Veiler is love, Veiler is life.
  • VIP Qualifiers really ruin middle round Features.

When you spend so much time trying to give away a match, eventually you’re going to succeed.

Dracopals! Unfortunately I have more plays vs that deck than some Monarch hands. I wonder when Konami is going to come out with a new non)emergency banlist.

Probably in a couple of weeks. The latest would be after YCS Houston which is April 10th but after next week there aren’t any YCS until then.

One yugituber by the name of dpyugioh (a rather controversial man), suggested that Dracopals needs even more nerfs. I’m starting to feel like this a pattern. New deck springs up, deck is really good (rather inexpensive to build as well), Deck wins quite a bit, people complain, deck gets hit on the ban list a few times, and the deck finally stops appearing at tournaments.

Dpyugioh suggests that Konami limit Ignister Prominence to 1. Now…the deck already only has access to only 2 tuners now instead of 3. One of which is highly searchable. He was saying that the fact that Ignister can remove a card every turn without targetting and summon an extra dracoslayer from the deck every turn is broken. DPygo actually believes the entire line up of Draco-monsters are absurdly broken and powerful. (I do feel that Face-off will get hit to 1,which will probably be the death of the deck if Ignister gets shot to 1 as well).

My counter argument to this is the fact that Ignister can run out of targets to summon, on top of the fact he is still prone to removal, and being run over by the wealth of monsters who boast a far higher attack power (Eclipser, Destroyer, Monarchs + Domain, Lightning).

@Saitsu with this being said, how do you personally feel about it? Do you believe Ignister should get hit to 1 because he’s too good? Or Ignister just the ends to a mean? I personally feel otherwise. I think he’s fine at 2 (most decks only run him at 2 anyway), because if he’s at 1, I think he becomes far too fragile and that means Kozmo auto wins once they rid the field of him.

Aside from that, if Konami hits Face-off, Ignister, and Wavering-Eyes on the tier list, I’ll probably drop the deck entirely. The other decks I’m looking at playing are Kozmo, BA, Speedroids, Phantom Knights, Armorphages (hate hate hate hate hate!), and in the future Metalphosis. That…or I could be like you and build deskbots because swinging for 15,000 in one shot is hilarious.

If they hit Draco Face-Off, hitting Ignister isn’t necessary. Without that and Wavering Eyes there’d be no consistent way to drag Luster out of the deck. They could play alternate tuners but it really wouldn’t be worth it.

Something will be done about the deck though eventually, because if nothing else Konami likes freshening up the scene a bit every so often. But I think even with its consistent record it might skate under their notice, it’s not that far above other decks right now and most of the other decks at the top are going to be stronger in the near future. At most they’ll touch Wavering (they’ve basically been looking for an excuse to do so) and will maybe Limit or Semi-Limit Face Off.

I hope they don’t hit E-Tele because I found a broken 2 card combination with it, another card and a psychic no one uses that is just retarded.

E-Tele is as good as dead.

Well fellas, it’s that time again, Errata time.

While the #FreeStratos movement has sputtered, it looks like #FreeSangan has finally succeeded, with an Errata.

He is now a hard OPT and you can’t activate the effects of the monster you search that turn.

Japan went full nuclear.

I just ordered 3 secondonkey and and a masked chameleon. Welp. Guess next paycheck I better start collecting my Blue Eyes stuff…gotta grab a copy of Number 62 and Full Armor…maybe a Dark Matter. Because the tcg will surely lose their minds and pull the same shit.

^Gold Sarc to 2?! And E-teleport to 1.

I thought I would drop Ritual Beasts when E-tele would get the hit, but there may still be hope.
also. Blue eyes confirmed for meta.

Spoiler

I dont care, I’m gonna find a decklist that will be really good someday. ;_;

Zeon, the TCG hasn’t pulled nearly the same shit in a long time. They aren’t going to go for a full nuke. The OCG was forced to because they didn’t have the balancing factor of Kozmos to take into account which meant that BAs and DracoPals controlled way more of the field, and since DracoPals didn’t have any of the cards limited as we did (Joker/Monkey/Luster), they easily dominated.

We have those things limited AND Kozmos exist. On top of that, our BAs are already weaker due to the BA hits already in place.

I don’t see the TCG list going too crazy.

What DOES surprise me is seeing the OCG List hit E-Tele. It’s obvious why they’d do it here, we have Kozmos. The OCG…just has Blue Layer basically and Ghost Ogre.
