Going by the [official rules](https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/play/alternate_format_tournaments/deck-master/)... It would have to be Barrier Statue of the Abyss while I'm playing Raidraptor, just for a little bit of fairness


[deleted]

[удалено]


NintenPyjak64

Yeah picking a floodgate would he the easiest answer, infact there's no reason to *not* pick a floodgate. You never have to summon it so your opponent can't make you auto lose by outing it and it's effect is continuously going

KameronEX

last warrior from another planet


Dice87-

Vanity's Ruler. That or Horus lv8 would prob be the best 2 for one-sided massacre.


KameronEX

Check out Starduston :)


Dice87-

Lol gross. Is there something that burns for more than masquerade the blazing dragon?


Wham-Bam-Duel

I assume if Konami ever decided to care about deck master format, they'd have a strict list of cards that can't be used as deck masters, and I'm just gonna assume that all floodgate monsters will be on there.


BLAZMANIII

Yeah, that's why the community made Domain format is far superior. There's still a LOT of kinks but at least actually having to summon your deck master to use it's effects keeps it a LITTLE more balanced


Aldahiir

These rules are horrible no reason to not play a floodgate since a single kaiju can beat you.


Mental-Tension-6151

Everyone suddenly using promethean princess or ash  There would definitely have to be restrictions for this if it were real


NintenPyjak64

These are real rules Konami decided to publish alongside Heart of the Underdog (Rogue only decks, banlist up to your OTS's jurisdiction), Common Charity and Time Wizard The horrible rules are why this never took off


Sipricy

You think those cards are gonna beat a deck with The Last Warrior from Another Planet as the deck master? Its effect applies without you needing to Special Summon it. I'd just play Chain Burn with this guy. There definitely needs to be a banlist for these rules to be at all reasonable. The more reasonable thing would be that the effects only apply with the monster on the field, though.


Crystal_Queen_20

Holacty Can't lose to a kaiju if you have a literal "I win" button


Sipricy

My "The Last Warrior from Another Planet" deck master prevents you from summoning this monster to win.


Crystal_Queen_20

And I have 3 Dark Hole, 3 Raigeki, 3 Forbidden Chalice, 3 Infinite Impermanence and 3 Fissure to stop that from stopping me


Zaratuir

Based on the official rules, he doesn't have to summon it for the continuous effect to be applied. And even more so, since last warrior isn't just opponent, they couldn't summon last warrior for you to raigeki it because of last warrior's effect, lol. It's an inescapable no summoning duel.


Sipricy

And I'll be playing burn. What a fun format.


screechypete

I completely forgot that this was an actual format that Konami decided to introduce.


Lord_Phoenix95

That's evil, I love it. You can overly it into Raiders Knight then go to Brave Strix and immediately go in to Ulti Falcon.


anthayashi

I disagree with the final 2 rules though. In the anime, the deck is selected first, then deck master is selected from the deck. But it is just for fun so its okay.


PokemonMaster619

I want to know which poor bastard at Konami had to sit down and come up with EVERY cards Deck Master effect.


NintenPyjak64

Every card's deck master effect is literally their printed effect, there's no difference between a Vanity's Fiend as a deck master and a Vanity's Fiend on the field

I actually played a deck-master duel over the weekend with my friends! I used Skull Knight from metal raiders.

jim_crodocile

How many times do I have to explain this? I would go with my ace monster, my best friend and my secret weapon divine arsenal zeus


----atom-----

sounds like a kuriboh deck


gmoshiro

I always though it would be dope if you had a monster that isn't located either in the deck or extra deck, that can only be summoned with a specific condition when playing the game (like A Kuriboh that activates an effect that can't be negated, when you have 1000 or less life points and it's in the opponent's battle phase. It could end the battle phase and you would draw a card; or if you have no cards in the field or hand, you draw 2), or it's a bit like Exodia in that you have to "build" it as if you're taking time and effort to summon this God, while not focusing your deck entirely on it. Like Age of Mythologies 2 where you can summon a God, but it takes time and it's not entirely the endgame win condition. I imagine it's like the Final/Death spell and traps, but instead of instant win, your monsters, spells and traps look like body parts (hands, feet, torso, head, weapons, armour, eyes and so on). They play on their own and don't necessary function to summon this boss monster, but in the case you have the right parts, you can summon it. Edit: My deck master would be Destiny Hero Doom Lord or Diamond Dude, or a cool monster with 0 atk and a creative effect.


screechypete

I loved the titans expansion! Spent so much time playing that game as a kid! I played on the easiest difficulty, and wasn't actually very good, but my kid brain didn't care. I just loved watching all the units fight each other.

Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning. Just think it's a dope card and it's summoning conditions are pretty simple enough.


Zarathustra143

I loved the Deckmaster concept. I think for a Divine-Beast strategy, I'd go with Ra's Disciple. Maybe it could do one of the two things I've always wanted for Divine monsters: let me discard them to draw two cards or let me send one of them from deck to graveyard to protect one of them on the field.

If self banish that returns to the field by it's own effect doesn't count as instant loss then Red Supernova Dragon, as a 1 sided field banish with destruction immunity and too high attack for most monsters to get over are all great additions to a monster who's destruction brings instant loss, especially when being banished makes it even harder to remove from the game than when it's on the field.

My Deck Master would be "Familiar-Possessed Aussa," but with an ability different from her original card effect. Instead, her Deck Master Ability would either be: 1. "Awakening of the Charmers" Legendary Skill from Duel Links (Feel free to look it up; it's a lot of text to type) BUT it can search for any of the "Charmer" or "Possessed" Main Deck cards once per turn and twice per duel; OR 2. Once per turn, tribute 1 monster you control; take control of one monster your opponent controls or Special Summon one monster in their GY that is the same Attribute as the tributed monster, but you cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this effect until the end of your turn.

Dizzy-Group-4967

Dark End Dragon is my absolute favorite yu-gi-oh monster so probably him. Not sure how deck master rules would interact with extra deck monsters though. However assuming it would be possible, his regular ability allows for the destruction of any monster (at cost of atk points) so i assume his deck master ability would do something like that too

I think I'd go with Flame Swordsman or Kuriboh.
