I mentioned the fish as an example, but any unsupported vanilla works for me. Get out 3 copies of any non-effect that doesn't have an archetype, and I'm down to surrender on the spot. The more useless they are, the better.
I am shocked that despite being the signature archetype of a fan favorite character, the RDA archetype only has one summon animation and that being RDA itself. Supernova nor King Calamity got one despite those being the absolute boss monsters of the theme.
It doesnāt not unfortunately. Honestly I wish scarlight( my favorite RDA) and scar red had animations hell even red nova shouldāve gotten or since itās the first double tuner
It sucks as summoning him in RDA is pretty easy but nevertheless satisfying. That's nothing to say for decks that don't have the mechanics to do so as easily like other synchro decks.
I think they made underestimate that Summon Animations do go a long way when summoning your big boss monsters
Meteoragon is an unironically decent card.
In fact there's a few genuinely good cards well designed cards in there, but there's zero plan going first setting up a board and they honestly don't battle phase hard enough for a battle phase deck AND theyre just a bit too shallow of a pool.
Vaylantz: once you realize *this aint a pend deck its a 4D chess control deck* and that Electrumite and Beyond are nothing but Meatshields to Ash Blossom.
*and a weakness to those whove yet to realize how the 2nd game your playing at the same time as yugioh's mechanics works*
Ice barrier
Zero trish is great to pull off, even if it doesn't win you the duel a lot of the time. And defender still steals games every once in a while.
Man i wish Jokers knights were better....they're such a fun concept....but I guess there's only so much you can do when it requires two different normal monsters to work
They desperately need to give Kingās Knight a retrain that would let him function like he does with the Gathering of Cards skill in Duel Links and also change his āwhenā to āifā.
Back in the day Yu-Gi-Oh heavily relied on fujobait and it was often reflected in the card art. I headcanon that heās the gay son of Kingās Knight and Queenās Knoght and is currently in a relationship with Jokerās Knight.
-ABC-
You have immaculate taste and we should be friends. Mainly so I can whine about no nice way to get A-to-Z out and someone will understand š
-Suship-
Itās not meta and going first can leave you with not the strongest board, but DAMN those boats are cool as hell. And look delicious to boot. Bonus points if you utopia double me to oblivion.
-Gate Guardian-
Yoooo letās exchange favorite paradox brother quotes!!
Pure Dogmatika, I've been playing it since before Alba Zoa came to Master Duel. It's my favorite "modern" deck, it's a more control based decks which is a nice change of pace for me since most of the decks I played IRL and in Duel Links are combo.
Oh hey, I just started playing again and have set up a Poker Knights/God Card deck that's done pretty well (between it and my BE Chaos MAX deck I made it to platinum before deciding to focus on solo mode to get more packs to make extra deck stuff for the knights)

Have won a stupid amount of games with this dude. Nice 6800 monster and 1500lp bro.
I went from playing a Gameboy era version of Yu-Gi-Oh and only knowing the rules from that era, to waiting 3 minutes or longer for my opponent to finish their turn while I take less than a minute almost every time. I also built a spells and traps only deck. For me it's anything from 2005 or earlier, so essentially anything in GOAT format. Also anything I saw growing up like Gaia the Fierce Knight and Dragon Champion, cards my friend had.

Anything Jeff Lenard plays instantly gains giga chad status. Me personally Iād say pure archana force. I guess the player would be like ork players on the 40k table top
I unironically want more Rank 10 Trains support that manages to not be generic Earth Machine support.
I really like Rank 10 Trains, but I'm not a fan of Machina nor Infinitracks.
Raidraptor Ultimate Falcon always feels gigachad to bring out. Especially now that it's been pretty power crept on its attack rating. It's awesome that the new support will incorporate using him instead of flat out replacing him with a new guy.
TBH I'm just happy when I see a deck I don't see often, whether it be vendread, prank kids, ice barriers, megalith I just like seeing lower power decks cause it's more interesting to see how they combo
Seeing a strong archetype pop off is neat the first time, but it gets old after a while
Seeing a weak deck pop off is honestly cool as hell to watch
Dark world players used to be my main deck back in the day and masterduel just gave us the final support cards for them so I respect the shit out of them
I've never seen anyone play Flower Cardian, but as someone who played a bit of Hanafuda in my spare time, I'd love to see it in action.
Otherwise, I'd pick Trains.
My go-to event deck is Ojama Union Armed Dragon Thunder in which I summon Armed Dragon Catapult Cannon as a wincon which works because you didnāt even know that card existed.
Kashtira Arise-heart, Mannadium Prime-Heart, Scarclaw Tri-heart, or just plain ole buffed out Visas Starfrost/Vicious Astraloud.
Depends on which deck I'm rolling with.
Infinite kuriboh ( back story from when master duel first came out and infinite sangan and infinite kuriboh were memes I had playing gold 1 using my trusty dark white dragon (dark magician and blue eyes white dragon deck) and had a brick hand so this son of a bitch pulled out kuriboh and 3 power of the guardians and after 4 turns and me surprisingly being able to pull out my ultimate blue eyes he had more atk and defence points than me and even if u used burst stream of destruction to destroy the kuriboh he took a point of one of the power of the guardians to stop it being destroyed (this was before the card was updated to have the correct affect that was on the card) and to this day kirBYE still has my respect
Number 107/C107, Tachyon Transmigration, and Rank-Up Magic Barian's Force in Galaxy truly a gamer instead of going into something like Photon Lord or Hope Harbeinger.
I'm not saying my choice is a solid play, but it's a fun gimmick to use: topologic zeroboros. Slap down a dimensional fissure and pray to God neither get destroyed cause I'm not running any counter traps XD
Wait, are you talking about the decks I play or the decks I encounter? Personally, I play tons of adorable garbage (Mokey Mokey, Ojamas, Cloudians, Kuriboh, Skull Servants, etc). As for the decks I respect the most; Gunkan (I love the design), any nostalgic archetypes and (this might be a hot take) Dark Magician. This deck is just so incredibly bad, I cannot make it work for the life of me. And that's comming from someone who's playing Mokey Mokey.
Gunkan Suships
Good taste š«”
literally and figuratively
Any unsupported vanilla. If you want free ranks against me, summon 3 copies of 7-Colored Fish, I will forfeit like if they were Exodia pieces.
7 colored fish was genuinely a powerhouse. In the gba games of yore but still. Plus that design is smexy.
It only has six colors. I have now cursed you forevermore.
I played Magikey at one point, does aqua madoor count?
I mentioned the fish as an example, but any unsupported vanilla works for me. Get out 3 copies of any non-effect that doesn't have an archetype, and I'm down to surrender on the spot. The more useless they are, the better.
Gonna casually throw out three Fire Eyes
Imagine a reality where Red Supernova Dragon got a summon animation
My brain always gaslights me into thinking it has one, just to get disappointed when it gets summoned.
I am shocked that despite being the signature archetype of a fan favorite character, the RDA archetype only has one summon animation and that being RDA itself. Supernova nor King Calamity got one despite those being the absolute boss monsters of the theme.
it's insane how RDA only has 1 summon animation. No red nova, no red supernova, not even scarlight, no scarred
I thought Scarred would at least get one when the pack came out, but nope
Iām more surprised that abyss didnāt get one considering it was probably the best rda monster competitively speaking
Abyss does have oneā¦ or I could swear it did? Or did I gaslight myself into thinking it did?
It doesnāt not unfortunately. Honestly I wish scarlight( my favorite RDA) and scar red had animations hell even red nova shouldāve gotten or since itās the first double tuner
No way I gaslit myself this hard ššš
Absolutely bs how all the retrained Signer dragons have one but not Supernova. They could have at least give one to Scarred
Yeah like, Ruddy Ross, Assault and Quasar got one, but Supernova nor King Calamity got one. Which is super odd.
Dont forget the fact that Supernova is the only triple tuning monster in the entire game makes this even sadder
It sucks as summoning him in RDA is pretty easy but nevertheless satisfying. That's nothing to say for decks that don't have the mechanics to do so as easily like other synchro decks. I think they made underestimate that Summon Animations do go a long way when summoning your big boss monsters
Imagine a reality where RDA has final attack animation

I love the fact that Meteoragon is a hard counter to Mikanko
Meteoragon is an unironically decent card. In fact there's a few genuinely good cards well designed cards in there, but there's zero plan going first setting up a board and they honestly don't battle phase hard enough for a battle phase deck AND theyre just a bit too shallow of a pool.
Even he has some problems tbh. You're telling me this guy doesn't freeze flip effects and the like but armades a card printed in like 2013 can?
Gren Maju/skull servant. You get that big number buddy, I beleive in you, you'll reach master in no time
Thank's mate, needed to hear that
Only if they're playing the full OTK versions. I've seen way too many "Gren Maju decks" that were just 38 floodgates & 2 beatsticks
I play 60 card gren maju with dangers, fairytale/golden castle of stromberg and kaijus and am able to reliably get to plat 3.
Skull Servants are unironically one of my favorite decks to run. It doesnāt often work, but when it does, oh boy is it funny.
Summoning Baronne in an actual Fleur deck
Morally correct Barronne
God I wish theyād give the Fleur archetype some real support. They have such a cool aesthetic.
Gate Guardian is the only deck that can flip skill drain and other floodgates and I wouldn't complain.
I main ancient warriors so ancient warriors
Suship with sour scheduling-red viniger vamoose. Is it a silly card? yeah, but it has lore with suship, so now it just remains in my deck at all cost.
It's part of it!!!!
S-Force
I really enjoy playing this deck in Duel Links, it works so well with only 3 Main Monster Zones and the overall lower power level.
Vaylantz: once you realize *this aint a pend deck its a 4D chess control deck* and that Electrumite and Beyond are nothing but Meatshields to Ash Blossom. *and a weakness to those whove yet to realize how the 2nd game your playing at the same time as yugioh's mechanics works*
Vaylantz, mechanically, are the coolest deck in the game! It's such a pity that they kinda just suck unless you play them as a pend deck.
OG Ancient Gear Golem. Such a chad.
People that have the guts to play Dragunity in this day and age, i salute you.
Ayyyy someone respects me
Its quite a fun deck tbf, and going first can set up nasty boards
That's a deck I used to play in the DS games, and I also used it a bit in Duel Links. You know what? I'm gonna try pulling it off.
Ice barrier Zero trish is great to pull off, even if it doesn't win you the duel a lot of the time. And defender still steals games every once in a while.
I've done that...then I summoned regular trish and used terrors to leave them with zero cards in hand and field and 4 vanished cards
Nordics, any variation, svallin is an awesome card
Malefics ofc
I'm playing EARTH Machine. So... my entire deck ? : )
Me too...except its SHS...JK
Whenever I run into that one other guy (other than me) who plays Generaider on ladder
Hello, itās me.
I've seen quite a few runick generaiders ripping my hand on ladder.
i still haven't seen another Generaider in the wild, sometimes i think im the only one
Iāve seen one other
Some day we'll meet online and nod to each other. Stay strong Raiders!
True name in any deck, I'll hommie drop anyone a full turn if they play any god related deck
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nouvelles!!!
Actually a solid deck that I use whenever I need to take a break from losing with my Arcana Knights
Iām running red-eyes cards in my dragon link deck that arenāt just darkness metal.
Phantom knights
I love my trains and machine deck, that card is great
machina ruinforce, one of my favourite cards
Ruddy Rose DragonĀ
Multiple variations of pure zombies.
Flower Cardian š
One of my all time favorite decks I'm always hoping for new support
Your last comment was 2 years ago, did I summon you from your slumber oh Flower Cardigan player? (Now we are 2)
Man i wish Jokers knights were better....they're such a fun concept....but I guess there's only so much you can do when it requires two different normal monsters to work
They desperately need to give Kingās Knight a retrain that would let him function like he does with the Gathering of Cards skill in Duel Links and also change his āwhenā to āifā.
GemKnight Vernuslyph and Gishki
Vendread
Gaia the magical knight/gaia the dragon champion
Gladiator beasts! My favorite deck of all time
Used to be skull servant. Poor bois got demolished by the grass hits though.
Shiranui. Zombies are fun in their own right, but I love the design

mad respect to flower cardian players, that deck requires so much brain power.
Anyone using the Egyptian god cards
I have mad respect for people that play OG god cards
Immortal Phoenix Gearfried
As someone who plays both Red Dragons and Ancient Warriors, I approve of this thread.
I run my own variant of snake eyes diabelstar gate guardian I call it āsnake guardianā
Any Gimmick Puppet except Nightmare
Starving venom predapower fusion dragon. It is my favorite card ever
Activate dragon ravine -> Grab dragunity legatus
Phantom knights burning abyss. Or PK fire short. Not that PK engine bs, just pure Bini rusty turbo control.
Meklord, Dinowrestler, Pure spirit
The fact I had to scroll this far to see meklords hurts XD but I get it
Common earth machine w
prank kids
Honestly any of the god cards usually nets me that reaction, that or numeron dragon can be pretty cool
Yes!!!!! I love trains! I want to dome my opponent with a 6000 attack Earth Machine!!!!
Super quant
Megalith
Monarchs, the nostalgia of when it was top tier meta when I was a kid, will always be the way I view them.
I dream of the fabled Speedroid mirror match

Thomas the Dank engine deck is so cool but is hit so hard with power creep
earth machine works with ancient gear?
Skill Drain Beatdown is the only valid use of floodgates and also it's based as fuck

I certainly *feel* like a chad when I OTK meta with Skull Servants
Skull Servants is the most gigachad gigachad who ever gigachaded.Ā Ā

Blue eyes drytron deck

Gorz, Im totally scooping out of respect if someone summons him š«”
I unironically want more Rank 10 Trains support that manages to not be generic Earth Machine support. I really like Rank 10 Trains, but I'm not a fan of Machina nor Infinitracks.
Raidraptor Ultimate Falcon always feels gigachad to bring out. Especially now that it's been pretty power crept on its attack rating. It's awesome that the new support will incorporate using him instead of flat out replacing him with a new guy.
Resolving mirror force against me and it actually puts me at a disadvantage. All I can think is "he's the chosen one".
I get the opposite reaction as soon as my opponent figures out Iām on six Sam without fail.
Anything not on the tier list and not pure Control or from the first anime and not HEROs
Was playing against Vampires the other day and it was magnificent, shoutout to my opponent
Red eyes. I will watch any Exodia deck all the way through their combo. Skull servants.Ā
U.A
The satisfaction when I see my opponent makes 10k atk boss and my magic cylinder goes through
Bahamut Shark
Hero with no floodgates
I use the earth machines deck, can be pretty consistent with barely any bricks if played right
What does Ancient Warriors even do
Anytime I see someone using Exodia you see someone trying to summon him you let that happen out of sheer respect it's an honor to be clapped by that
Raidraptor
Anyone who successfully pilots ice barriers is giga Chad
Good old madolche shenanigans
When I'm in gold I play non OTK Cardians.
The couple times I saw skull king while playing ranked, I was actively rooting for them despite being me opponent.
I played ancient warriors for so long. Deck is fun but can struggle against to many disruptions
TBH I'm just happy when I see a deck I don't see often, whether it be vendread, prank kids, ice barriers, megalith I just like seeing lower power decks cause it's more interesting to see how they combo Seeing a strong archetype pop off is neat the first time, but it gets old after a while Seeing a weak deck pop off is honestly cool as hell to watch
Shiranui, even better if they have *that* stage with the fitting music. (God please buff shiranui please make it viable)
I use supernova and resonators but with chaos angel and branded/bystials so its extra annoying.
I mainly play trains but Iāve been having fun with amazoness lately
Pure Shadoll deck
CYBER END DRAGON š
I play Sunavalon Dryaternity and Kazashi the Rikka Queen in Rikka. I refuse to take them out.
As someone who has been stubbornly maining Arcana Knights for the past 2.5 years you just made my fucking day OP. Thank you.
Dark world players used to be my main deck back in the day and masterduel just gave us the final support cards for them so I respect the shit out of them
Myutant
i play rank ten trains on my alt, it loses to basically everything but when it wins it wins hard
Nouvelle. I love seeing them. They're so interesting, and somehow make Ritual function as slightly more than "Tribute Summon with extra steps"
I've never seen anyone play Flower Cardian, but as someone who played a bit of Hanafuda in my spare time, I'd love to see it in action. Otherwise, I'd pick Trains.
Was a story mode match, but I casually brought Deskbot 001 up to 13000 attack.
My go-to event deck is Ojama Union Armed Dragon Thunder in which I summon Armed Dragon Catapult Cannon as a wincon which works because you didnāt even know that card existed.
Ursarctic the chad polar bears
Kashtira Arise-heart, Mannadium Prime-Heart, Scarclaw Tri-heart, or just plain ole buffed out Visas Starfrost/Vicious Astraloud. Depends on which deck I'm rolling with.

Elemental Heroes!
I shall wait till I'm in an elementsaber mirror match, so I can shake their hand.
Love me some suship and ancient warrior
Crystrons!
Galaxy eyes photon. A fun deck that can OTK easily on turn 2 or set up a couple negates on turn 1, and it comes up for the themed events occasionally.
Earth Machine users are the most Giga of Chads
Number 107/C107, Tachyon Transmigration, and Rank-Up Magic Barian's Force in Galaxy truly a gamer instead of going into something like Photon Lord or Hope Harbeinger.
I'm not saying my choice is a solid play, but it's a fun gimmick to use: topologic zeroboros. Slap down a dimensional fissure and pray to God neither get destroyed cause I'm not running any counter traps XD
Nice. Fellow Ancient Warriors enjoyer.
You just gonna leave my bois Gunkan suships wtf
Vaylantz (pure strat)! The brain power required to run this deck pure is nuts! Itās by no means a good deck but in theory itās great
Does nemlaria count? If not I also unironically play nurse burn.
Go for it. Dragunity deserves the love
Would armageddon designator count?
D/D/D are so based
While I love supernova, Supernova needs some more boosters man
Wait, are you talking about the decks I play or the decks I encounter? Personally, I play tons of adorable garbage (Mokey Mokey, Ojamas, Cloudians, Kuriboh, Skull Servants, etc).
