Before asking to be spoonfed, try the following:
● Read the cards.
● Lurk and read the archives.
● Read the cards please.
● READ THE OP
● Google your Deck before you post it here. If your deck is/was competitive it will probably have topped an event.
● Most games have single rounds or a best of three match; matches are encouraged as they teach you to make use of your side deck for tournament play.
● Remember to playtest and try suggestions before you trash them, even if someone recommends a weird tech choice. You don't know everything.

3rd for Chaos MAX

I want to kiss Kozmo Farmgirl on the lips!

Metalfoes
Blue-Eyes
Monarchs if they splash Gofu or Quickdraw
Arguably Kozmos as well if again, they splash Gofu

>Look up Nekroz
>"Whoa Sophia seems like a cool card, but those conditions seem hard to bring it out"
>"I know, I'll look up the top nekroz decks, see what they have and how they bring her out!"
>None of the top decks use Sophia
Why even bring my hopes up like this?

do regular sophia then

Did they reset the YGOPRO ranking?

You have no idea how disappointing this bitch was.
She caused so much salt with how shit she is.

PET DECK DISCUSSION TIME, POST UR PETDECKS AND DISCUSS HOW TO BETTER THEM.

As for me and my meme spirit deck, hands and rank 4 spam are a thing of the past, but I have some questions:

What ratios of Amterasu, Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi are ideal?

Should I even be including Fenghuang and Dark Dust Spirit?

Should Nikitama be at 2 or 3?

Is tribute burial required at 3 or can I drop it to 2?

Do spirits still meme about with stormforth and creature swap or Amaterasu the main removal now?

Should I run Trag? If so, what should I take out for it?

use brilliant meme
when you mill a/d changer you can flip amaterasu right away

So what's more viable, a Sophia of Rebirth deck, or a Sophia of Nekroz deck?

Surely one can get 3 level 4 monsters with different types on the field in a dracopal deck, just add Sophia, a nekroz ritual and manju.

my post was a joke they are both shit

>3 level 4s
That's 12, user. Exact change only.
Yeah, but which is less shit?

ive always had terrible luck with brilliant fusion, plus the decks bricky enough anyway, it's a nice combo but once amaterasu is on the field w/ backrow theres not a lot stopping that effect

Horseface is much easier to get out in an era where multiple summoning methods are viable, and she has less-bullshit restrictions, so her. Good luck actually getting it off, but whatever.

>exact change only
Says who?

Alright, so let's start brainstorming horsewaifu's deck. What's the fastest way to get her in your hand, and a ritual, xyz, synchro and fusion onto the field?

daily reminder that piper turbo will be tier 0

The ritual cards

Says every Ritual Spell that can get her out, since they're all generic.

>implying they'll release it anywhere near full power

best op

something something entities

Would you be happy if Parasite Fusioner got released? Seems balanced to me. Aside from the insta-Winda thing.

While this card is face-up on the field, you can substitute this card for any 1 Fusion Material. If this card is Special Summoned: You can Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Materials, including this card, then equip this card from the Graveyard to the Fusion Summoned monster. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, destroy this card instead.

Full Power Dracopals + Ara + Any Level 4 Ritual
Make Sophia, end phase search monkeyboard for GG

Arc Light and Norden

winda has been powercreeped dude

It can't instant Winda since no fusion substitute can sub for non specific material. So unless you're using Shaddolls, you're not summoning Winda.

>Ara
She says you need to use monsters on the field for her summon.

>Can use two as a substitute for both materials

NERF

>Kinka-Byo into parasite
>Fusion Summon Winda

When will we see this on YGO Pro?

...

It might not get printed.
I mean, it is what makes the Wind Witch boss monster strong as shit, but if Wind Witches avoid getting printed, so will Parasite Fusioner.

This saves the HERO decks

But Destinymaskfrog HERO is already a thing, along with their key play Elemental HERO Treatoad

HEROES only use masked heroes and omni heroes, noone uses named fusions anymore.

>2 Clear Wing
>No Crystal Wing

I don't really understand why Treatoad is meant to be good desu.

In the anime it is allowed to be substituted for non-named/non-specific materials. Which is pretty good

I don't think I've touched that deck since before Crystal Wing came out (and I was keeping the deck TCG-only). I know there's some new Speedroids out too, but none of them are very good IIRC.

For any competitive players; how much time do you spend "in the lab" building, testing and rebuilding your deck online before buying it IRL?

Until I feel the deck is as powerful and consistent as it can possibly be.

Percy makes anime cards all the time.

iirc >hoban claimed like 20+hrs a week for duel practice

I'm going to my first locals on Tuesday, /dng/. I don't have any other friends there so how do I avoid being awkward as fuck?

Rule #1: Don't act like a fucking sperg

Don't avoid your autism, embrace it. Challenge every single person there until you find someone worthy of your strength and make him your rival.

You don't. BE the autist.

Hey dng

So I got a nostalgia trip and played Nightmare Troubadour.
But now do I go onto play the other DS games I have fond memories of like Spirit Callers.
Or do I play the Tag force games on PSP? The gameplay looked retarded with the draw animations.

Tag Force is a fun waifu simulator. If you don't like the animations, you can either speed them up or go play Special which doesn't have them at all. I feel like the cheesy animations are what make it worthwhile to begin with, though.

I want to kiss you on the lips.

Jesus Christ Gofu is so motherfucking GOOD
>Ultimaya machine
>Turns on literally all of Metalfoes broken combos
>Ridiculous plays with Brilliant Fusion and Monarchs
>LMAO FREE TOKENS FOR NO REASON (Kuraz and Metalfoe targets, and can even be used as Fusion materials)
>Literally made Synchrocentric decks meta again

Can we finally forgive that faggot Crow for introducing this amazing generic support?

No

I have no idea what the meta is like so do you think Fire Kings or Dracomist would perform better overall? I've got Odd-eyes but it's a tier 2 or lower tournament so I don't want to risk inducing too much salt on my first time

hopefully it'll be the means to get ultimaya banned as it's getting to ptolemaios levels of cancer as it is with dropping easy crystal wings.

someone show me a top of the line skull servant deck, is it really as fun as you fags make it out to be?

>it's a tier 2 or lower tournament
I wouldn't worry about being awkward then, if they run those kinds of rules then you're walking into a sweaty room full of spergs.

...

Bring the best deck you have, your opponents will not show mercy so neither should you.

>Waifu
Reverse of Arcadia already had my Husbando in. Smh.

If the animations are not that grating them I might give them a go.
I wish they'd go back to to the beautiful mess of model monsters. I liked some of the interpretations of some cards.
>pic not related.

As the legal owner of this mat, it's horribly outdated. But this is my build, last updated I don't even know when.

Will HEROs perform well at Worlds or are all the autists not going to risk it and just run Monarchs/Odd-Eyes?

Gofu in Mecha Phantom Beasts, Y/N?

A ton of time and games, I don't buy shit IRL till I really tested it.

who knows
maybe we'll get mystic tomato again

Too bad it will be fucking worthless when Ultimaya gets banned

what do?

I tried a tiny lightsworn engine but I wasn't really feeling it.

I want to know what new RB support does.

reasoning
desires

Guys. Maybe I'm tripping out here. But have any of you guys ever noticed Horus Lv 8 looks like the Ra?

Desires makes me so paranoid

>ultimaya will get banned in your lifetime

kuribandit

omni-negators have literally ruined this game.

But then my Box of Friends Dracophosis won't be as good anymore.

It'd still kind of work since I can just shit out Vector/Master/Steeleren but seeing the reaction to Zombowwow > Box of Friends > Ultimaya that they never see coming is the best part.

Infinity and Treatoad were mistakes.

Do you include Crystal Wingu there?

It will still be pretty good on Metalfoes since it gives you free effect fodder for their scales + letting you summon any level 8/7 synchro outside Crystal Wing with Silverd and Steelen.

>Activate DNA Surgery, call Machine
>Normal Summon Parasite Fusioner
>Machine Duplication into 2 more, Parasite Fusioner activates, fuse 2 into Exterio
>Call of the Haunted another one back, use it to go into Last Warrior From another Planet
>Drop Forbidden Dress on Exterio so it doesn't die

nah, omni-negators are fine, the problem is being able to cheese them out (ptlolemaios/bahamut/ultimaya (not omni but still) or when the summoning condition is piss easy to accomplish for the reward (treatoad).

A lot
Just act like yourself and also try and be polite.

Nekroz of Sophia was made for Zefra more so than actual Nekroz. Not hard to bring out in Zefras.

Good

Infinity is fine now, I don't get why people still complain about him given that there's no other way to summon him other than Nova, which is a legit method. Ptolemaois has been banned for like 6 months dude

Crystal Wing and Treetoad are only becoming problems because they can be cheated out by Ultimaya and Bahamut Shark, 2 cards who have no real business having the effects they have. I honestly wouldn't have as much of a problem with them if they even SORT OF worked like Ptolemaois did at the very least, but they are literally +1s with the most retardedly easy to fulfill conditions imaginable its stupid

Ultimaya makes everything way too railroaded into getting it out because it's just so good.

Why should I go into anything else if I can shit out tzolkin and get virutla omninegation for free every turn? Is there anything better? Because it doesn't seem like there is.

Solemn Judgement at 1 is fine.

How do I play Crystron?

It's hilarious considering how every YGO community from /dng/ to Pojo shat on it on sight because
>LOL CAN'T SYNCHRO WITH THE TOKENS
>WTF CAN ANYTHING DO WITH A LV5 TUNER TERRORTOP???

Bahamut Shark would be fine if not for the fact that Treatoad's negation doesn't need materials when Bahamut is balanced around that. Treatoad's the badly designed one out of the two, unlike Tzolkin being the shitter instead of Crystal Wing and pals.

Infinity is just because he started the trend.

Cry yourself to sleep if you don't open with Different Dimension Trench and Instant Fusion for mad Norden loops.

you don't atm
hope 4 Rtempest

did u read exterio

Infinity was a mistake.
>Xyz scum in a fusion deck

Once you make a solid board or otk it doesn't matter

It seems like there will eventually be a crystron named spell. Hopefully raging tempest delivers.

Wind Witches are like Darklords, but with monster effects. Expect a variety of goodstuff effects that their bosses can copy from the graveyard.

Also, being able to copy a Crystal Wing or whatever in the grave is pretty groovy. Anyone else hoping they deliver?
