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

At least give both players the decency to draw two new cards

I have no idea. I found the image randomly on google.

That's bullshit, but I believe it

How often do you buy cards, /dng/?

I've been buying a SHITTON, since I'm building so many decks right now. I've had 1-2 shipments in the mail every 1-3 days for like 2 months.

help me

When a new set comes out I keep buying packs until I can build a deck.

Rarely but when I do I buy kinda a lot of cards in one go after I tested with them for a while

Why? First of all the player who used this most certainly should not get cards back. What better way to fuck your opponent over then by wiping the field and setting two face downs. As for the opponent, he is allowed to use any effects he wants that turn, unlike the CED player; negation effects, graveyard effects, etc. Assuming they even let CED get summoned and live long enough to activate his effect at all. ABC with A equipped, Towers, and some others also laugh at this guy.

GECD just came out, and I still don't have Full Armor.

I need to order them.

For this game, rarely, but I buy a lot of Weiss stuff every week or so

My opponent has 1 card in hand
He attempts to activate C-Crush Wyvern CL1 and B-Buster Drake CL2.

Can I check the card in his hand if he summons what he searched from Drake?

You would have to ask a judge to verify whether or not he was able to activate Wyvern in the first place

>Tfw pulled full armor from a random pack

How do I pure phantom knights?

Also note that some judges will actually give YOU a warning. You're "supposed to trust your opponent" and not "waste" the judges' time by doing this.
I would never do this as a judge, even though I'm recommended too, because it's dumb as hell.

How pure are we talking? Cutting out even Terrortop?

My opponent has 2 cards in hand, does Wyvern CL1 Drake CL2
He then uses Reload on the last card in his hand.
Are we in an irreparable gamestate?

Kagemucha Knight and Gilasaurus

You are still gonna need triple Dante.

you dont
deck is kill
like yuto

Is there a more skillful hand-building card than this?

Speaking of Galaxy-Eyes, I've been sitting on a Number 62 not realising it jumped to about $15. is it really that good in Blue-Eyes?

Terratop is fine
I'll look them up

No because Wyvern would still attempt to resolve because it was already activated. If there are no Unions in hand when the effect tries to resolve it would just fizzle out, but because he would get the search the effect would still go off

no, you just have to check his hand to confirm he has nothing to summon off wyvern.

It's not as good now that Cipher is gone, but it was a dark Matter target.

Then yeah, after Terrortop 3x of all the Level 3s like always and then other R3 stuff to make up for the lack of BA like Kagemucha and Marauding Captain.

I should probably better at giving advice for it than I actually am because I play a pure PK build but my build is garbage because all I care about most of the time is beating over shit with Dark Requiem because I fucking love that card.

Ever since the new update non of my decks can save. I close the program and I just end up with only the defaults again :/

did you try redownloading loading from the OP?

yeah, percy fixed the game making homos not being able to save decks

Man Ciphers have the potential to be really fun, but in real life they're hindered by the lack of the most interesting cards (namely FUCKING CIPHER INTERFERE) and in the anime because of their fucking tunnel vision into Cipher Dragon when the deck is just so much better suited for R4 plays.
Seriously, 2 RUMs for a deck with only 2 Xyz?
Fuck off Kaito

Stop naming your deck D/D/D and use DDD.

yup. same problem.
I figured that out when diamond dick dudes first came out.

Maybe it's just you. I can save decks just fine. Although they go right to the bottom instead of being sorted alphabetically.

somebody post metalfoes big fat cat tits

Help, I keep wanting to drop Pot of Desires because I often banish unsearchable cards like Soul Charge/1-2Return of the Dragon Lords, leaving me at a massive disadvantage for the rest of the game, especially if I draw into something like Dragon Shrine/Melody.

don't desire first unless you absolutely have to.

>needing 1-of crutches

Just drop it, don't let your bricks be bricks.
Yesterday, you said tomorrow, so just drop it.
You should get to the point where most people would just scrap their entire deck, but you're not gonna stop there, no! What are you waiting for?
JUST
DROP IT

Banishing that limited and unsearchable stuff does suck, but they're ultimately winmore in most situations assuming you're using the card correctly.

>BEWD wins Worlds
>everyone in Checkmate singles is using BEWD
>destroy them with Abyss Actors and D-HEROs because they don't know how to correctly pilot the deck

How long do I wait then? I can't just not use it until I draw into all 3 of my Return of the Dragon Lords, and if I have enough of them to be comfortable anyway, It's just a winmore card.

metalfoes lunalights?

>everyone is playing BEWD
>play this card

in that case Desires is just as winmore
when playing Blue-Eyes all you need to seal a game is a Soul Charge, and the odds of banishing it instead of drawing it off Desires are like 5 times higher

The only way to correctly pilot deck is you don't

and by don't desire first, i mean wait a bit unless necessary so you can thin your deck with other draw power. Seeing desire used LIterally as the first card when people have other draw power options triggers me.

The strongest duelists can create the cards they draw

>look at Shunsuke's twitter because it was posted with his deck list on Ygorg
>after winning Worlds he just casually went back to posting about his other waifubait card games

So this is the true form of an overlord.

I did that once and the judge gave me a match loss.

its not limited
twitter.com/pentaoku/status/754479523647721472

Does he play Force of Will? Force of Will has some GOAT waifus.

You had a shit judge then. Shining draws are a perfectly legal part of the game.

at this point, winning worlds for him, it's like winning locals

How good is a Buster Blader deck in current meta?

as good as it would be in any other meta

My nigga


To be fair, that last match of worlds was probably unsatisfying as shit.

erik

Buster Blader would be shit in any meta in the past half decade because of how much it bricks and how much hand advantage it gives up to put up relatively easily breakable boards.

That being said, it's pretty fun beating BEWD to death with it and Descend Dragon Magician helped.

mediocre, with the new pendulum magician coming out it could get bettwer

Make it into transmodify/leviar dark law turbo.

How stupid do people have to be to not know how to pilot one of the most simplest decks ever?
Is it REALLY that hard to dump dragons with draw cards and revive them with Monster Reborn clones and then push for game?

>netdeckers
>having skill
tanks for teh giggle

Reminder we had a poster asking what Blue-Eyes' win condition recently.

Hey dng I've been away from the game for quite some time. I left around the time of Qliphorts, Nekroz, BA. Think early pendulum days.

I played Mermails and still have my prized deck. What's changed? How is the meta? Are mermails even the slightest bit viable?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Yes, good goy, deep draw into soul charge. Make sure you upstart for extra consistency!

Do you have a link for his twitter?

trains have such a good blue eyes matchup, it's amazing. Once they use their only Prime they're fucked.

Mermails are sacky bullshit.

Mermails got 2 absolutely broken support cards in prince fuccboi and Norden, as well as general support in the Kaiju engine. They're strong rogue.

Whatever you say spider man!
So how do you intend to get past all the negations I put on the board with Soul Charge?

FUCKING RELEASE CONSTRUCT

I NEED ACTUAL FUSING FUSIONS NOT DARK LAWS OR BUSTER DRAGONS

What's meta right now? What has changed? Anything really big?

By the way thanks for the responses and the info.

probably by hitting them

Cloudians

user...

no

I steal them, Walmart security is laughable and I sell the best pulls.

The meta right now is kinda odd.
We have Blue-eyes, Kozmo, Monarchs, a mashup of BA Speedroids and Phantom Knights, the abomination of half of the previously meta pendulum decks shoved together, Metalfoe + everything, and lots of random rogue decks abusing new power cards.

Mermails are still pretty decent. Not reliable for big tournaments, but you should easily top most locals with them. You'll need Neptabyss, Norden and some Kaijus though.

>What's meta right now
Burning Abyss (Yes, fucking still. They got a 1 card rank 3 tech and a R3 Scrap Dragon)

Kozmos (Wizard of Oz Starwars fanfiction with nothing but untargettable monsters)

Performapal Pendulum(During either player's turn: You can target 1 Pendulum Monster in your Monster Zone and 1 monster your opponent controls; return them to the hand(s). You can only use this effect of "Majespecter Unicorn - Kirin" once per turn. Cannot be targeted or destroyed by your opponent's card effects.)

Monarchs, which grind you down and do fun stuff like tribute summon using YOUR monsters in YOUR turn then blow shit up and go +4 for no real effort. They have the most broken draw/search card in the game. Can choose between a build that blocks all ED summons or a build that can consistently summon Pleiades or a L8 Synchro that's Quasar but better.

Blue Eyes White Dragon.dek: A deck that summons big beaters and attacks. It doesn't do bullshit like the other decks and is actually bearable to play against.

>It doesn't do bullshit like the other decks
Spirit.

IS anyone having problems using the sidedeck with Checkmate?
I can't synrco any of my monsters.

Every fucking ultimaya turbo autist I've played against has timed due to not knowing what my cards do and taking 20 seconds to decide if they should use twin twister on aroma garden. baka

Spirit is very lite bullshit compared to everything else.

Its still bullshit.

what monsters m8?

Man, at this point Burning Abyss has been legitimately tier-1 or 2 for longer than Konami was trying to push Noble Knights.

What the fuck happened to TCG decks being based on old books?
And how much longer do we have to wait until Konami finally gets off their asses and gives us an Anne of Green Gables deck?

Running BEWD.dek
Any time I go to make spirit with Sage/stone or any other Blue-eyes monster it doesn't let me select any of the materials. It doesn't even let me back out.
All I can do is wait for my timer to run out.
