Before asking to be spoonfed, try the following: ● READ THE OP. ● Read the cards. ● Lurk and read the archives. ● Google your deck before you post it here. If your deck is/was competitive it will probably have topped an event, see the provided links above. ● 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. ● If you want to improve, netdeck and playtest constantly.
First for ABC is tier 1 and by far the best deck in the game while Ancient Gear won't even be rogue. Stay mad shitters
Joseph Fisher
Xth for Replaced ;-;
Ryan Jones
1st for Ancient Gear fags being so fucking retarded they think that their shitty deck totally shits on ABC, an actual top tier deck
Zachary Garcia
If you wanna touch my giant buddy you gotta go through me
Logan Powell
xth for waifus
Xavier Hall
Just a reminder that Fortress doesn't protect Chaos Giant, it can still die to shit like Dragon Buster, Kirin, Moonlight Rose, Rafflesia and other monster effects which go off on the opponent's turn. Not really, you can still OTK with it and protect it and it takes less mats.
Luis Taylor
You rang?
Aiden Diaz
xth for our guy
Jose Myers
>he thinks he can get a R4NK out against a deck that runs 3 Solemn Strike, 1 Solemn Warning, 1 Vanity's Emptiness and has ABC Dragon Cucker every turn
Off yourself
Matthew Walker
Ancient Gear is gonna fucking steamroll Subterrors if they become meta in TCG. All of Tewarts archtypes are getting cucked by armades effs now.
Aaron Kelly
Ancient gear cucks are as annoying as gravekeepers shitters when they got support.
necessary evil in today's world.
Josiah Diaz
Just so you know, these posts are from retards who tried to come up with outs for a Giant with setup, failed and got bootyblasted, and one of them failed basic addition too, and are now trying to change the subject to impact on meta.
I think any AG fag knows that making chaos giant is already less consistent than ABC's answers to it and that AG won't suddenly overthrow the obvious #1 deck in the game, but that won't stop the strawman shitposts of "a-actually I meant" from butthurt failures.
Robert Cook
What the actual fuck were they thinking when they made AtoZ Dragon Buster Cannon
Wyatt Price
>use ABC effect on R4NK Is this actually considered a good play? What can a R4NK do against your mighty ABC?
Jordan Thompson
"Legacy support".
Thomas Wood
TCG Darklords W H E N
Gavin Hall
Same thing they were thinking when they made Red-eyes, Black Luster Soldier, Buster Blader, Dark Magician, Magnet Warriors, Magician Girls, Silents and Cubics. Gotta get them Nostalgia bux.
Isaiah Martin
When destiny soldiers comes out, be patient.
Asher Johnson
>well I striked it! actually, I striked Dragon Buster first and did a Lord Omega loop to remove your hand :^)
Noah Allen
>make it immune to S/T effects and an Armadeus >it still loses to targeting monster effects. Jobelisks deserved to be carded.
Henry Long
Is there some kind of list of what episodes are skippable in Arc-V? I heard the qualifying duels for the tournament are shit, and the thread's already said the synchro arc is horrid.
Lincoln Robinson
Isn't that how Shun beat it?
Daniel Evans
>thinks he can save his Strike for Dragon Buster Have you ever even played against the deck? Unless you're playing stunshit yourself or drew multiple, you're not going to have the luxury of striking the final boss while ignoring the one or two R4NKs that come before it.
Tyler Brown
>Cubic >nostalgia Crimson Nova Trinity's summon is my favorite episode of DM
Jason Cook
All of them
Ian Foster
>while ignoring the one or two R4NKs that come before it. I'm pretty sure I can ignore Tsukuyomi and GGX you summon to try putting ABC on field.
Brayden Foster
Watch 1-53, skip the rest.
Ethan Green
yeah abc can totally make two r4nk t1, and always recover when you strike tsukuyomi just netdeck it if you don't know how it works
Not anymore ;) But seriously, how the fuck Jobelisk defeat Xyz dimension when they have Castel and shit.
Jose Davis
Anime effect doesn't Meteorburst or pierce, so Shun made it out alive by summoning Last Strix to gain LP before using Soul Shave next turn.
Evan Allen
Good cards.
David Williams
Obviously, they OTK before Castel even hits the field. If you summoned Chaos Giant but didn't win in the same turn, you either fucked up, or you got outskilled.
William Rodriguez
>Fortress >being capable of protecting Giant ACADEMIA
John Hall
the anime version did have the meteorburst effect, that's how it got through revolution falcon.
Christopher Cruz
Who the fuck makes Tsukuyomi going second? Seriously, end your lives. Are you even top 1000 on ygopro?
>make Utopia or Castel >you don't strike it >it fucks your monster, I set 3 and end turn
>I make GGX because your field is shit >you don't strike it >I set 3 for another R4NK next turn
>you have only 1 set card >Diamond Dire Wolf
I can even make Michael the discount ABC
Hunter Stewart
SS from the graveyard, ignoring summoning conditions searchable chaos fusion, which would just be a glorified overload
Isaiah Torres
More good cards* A 4.5k armades that can deal piercing damage and can attack every monster in the field is pretty good in my book
Ethan Jones
>If you summoned Chaos Giant but didn't win in the same turn, you either fucked up, or you got outskilled. Or they got Shunposted to death. I'm pretty sure Kaito also used Cipher Dragon to hijack Chaos Giant and then Cipher Interfere + Cipher Diffusion for game
William Johnson
>make a card hard to get out >its worse than the pieces it uses to come out
Hudson Jones
It had an Armades effect, but only for the monster it battled with, not Meteorburst. If it did, Shun activating Last Strix's effect would've been illegal as all shit.
It'd be a very genuine Shunpost
Wyatt Scott
I thought you said you were making Dragon Buster. Stop wasting oxygen, failure. Take an order from one of your betters.
Tyler Nguyen
>>its worse than the pieces it uses to come out What are other examples of this? HARD MODE : Nothing from GX
Nicholas Robinson
...
Carter Rogers
Cipher Dragon negates the effect of the monster you took control of, so Cipher Interfere on it would've been totally legit.
I actually want Kaito to get more duels. What's the fucking points of Ciphers when right now they aren't even a deck? They're better suited to R4 spam with what little they have now than they are to summon their "boss" monster. Which needs to have a RUM specifically designed with it in mind as well because fuck yes that's what the archetype REALLY needed
Adam Nelson
Anime version summoning condition is fucking horrendous. I'm actually amazed that they can summon it at all. That Ancient Gear fusion to cheat it out is fucking amazing.
Not in anime universe.
Brandon Green
Yeah, I'll make it after you panic and use it on the R4NK. Did you even read my post?
Matthew Adams
It's nostalgia support for a DM era card, so I guess it makes sense why it sucks. Why can Konami rarely make good nostalgia support?
Logan Barnes
is this card literally only used as extra material for ZA LIGHTNING?
Joseph Morgan
...
Aiden Torres
>SS from the graveyard, ignoring summoning conditions >same case as Level Modulation Yeah. It's a pretty good card, alright.
Nathan Parker
>What's the fucking points of Ciphers when right now they aren't even a deck? To give Blue-eyes a bigger rank 8 toolbox.
Nathaniel Martin
isnt the ruling on this card that the lv monster had to be summoned before hand or it can be summoned with this?
Elijah Myers
Literally just for extra stacking, individually it's worse than vanilla utopia.
Jacob Russell
>wake up >Chaos Giant confirmed >requirements generic enough to make it playable WE'RE ALMOST SAVED LADS
Alexander Perez
Is this a scoop-worthy situation?
Kayden James
There's also this if you want to be a total manga fanboy since ZA LIGHTNING was meant to be the RUM version of this card.
Anthony Davis
So ABCs are just Qlis that special summon more often, right?
Colton Bell
I think people prefer this in the slim chance you actually need to use the Raigeki effect.
Charles Young
>2510 attack
Nathan Cox
>more often Qlis would special summon once per turn, if they even special summoned at all. ABCs are masturbation tier.
Michael Garcia
>No ancient gear pantheism/trade-in >Saved
Come back when you have consistency.
Liam Moore
Stay dead you jackass. Pretty much, even if you r4 he'll banish it and then scramble Ball Buster for more r4 and Ball Buster again.
Robert Adams
It was 2501 in the manga, Konami are pussies.
Robert Ortiz
>main less than 5 Continuous Trap card >Qli
Jaxson Sanders
oh right, since you opened card destruction and already have grave setup going second without tsukuyomi. or definitely opened hangar, and gadget/thrasher, and A or B but not C, and A, B, or C meanwhile I opened exodia. don't even bother with the "actually I meant"
Wyatt Lewis
>2501 imagine the memes
Wyatt Hill
Since when do ABCs main traps?
Chase Wood
Their traps are the Extra Deck monsters
Ayden Jones
>people unironically think Exciton SITLL deserves to be banned
Christopher Peterson
Dog turned out to be pretty nice in print.
Michael Ortiz
Actually I think this is the perfect time to return famigila :^) >Ancient Gears getting draw spells The only chance of that happening was in the SD but now I guess we have to rely on someone in the anime being more competent than jobelisks and using AGs for the deck to gain such consistency
Nathaniel Rodriguez
shitty bait
Jonathan Rodriguez
Not a floodgate.
Brody Lewis
>Wait which Ancient Gear fusion got buffed
Austin Powell
Can we ban ASF?
Leo Butler
Can the dead people please stay that way?
Robert Watson
Someone please banish Monster Reborn with Gold Sarcophagus and then attack these fuckers for game
Hunter Foster
>responding to dead guy Please don't be that guy.
Jacob Wright
Who thinks ASF needs to stay in the game?
Jace Collins
>What? I still haven't been booked for an appearance in Arc-V?
Nicholas Murphy
>the days have passed where this was a legitimate sacky comeback option >the days have passed of Mind Controlling your opponent's Utopia and slapping Ray on it I want to go back
Evan Hernandez
No.
Oliver Rodriguez
me because fuck pendulums.
Gavin Martinez
Ultimate Moth retrain when?
Christian Peterson
ABC and Blue-Eyes players Or alternatively, just unban Exciton Knight
Kevin Gray
>register in checkmate to try and play ranked >3 hours later, confirmation email never popped up >just now try to change my password to see if I can at least get an e-mail >"This user is blocked" WOOOW I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING AND I'M BLOCKED? BUGGED REGISTRATION MECHANICS THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO
Luis Robinson
Maybe if you could set cards in your Pendulum Zones.
Ryan Sanchez
>only relevant against Pendulum And people said that Pendulum is the worst mechanic.
Nathaniel Jackson
No thanks, I enjoy being alive again
Joshua Williams
>placing cards in your pendulum zones is refered to as "setting the scales" >you're not actually setting cards wtf i hate yuya now?
Zachary Morgan
Watch the finals of YCS Rimini and that duel in Worlds and tell me if this card can stay. It pretty much just wins games on its own.
Thomas Diaz
t. someone who never played Pendulum
Seriously, if you actually go and play a Pendulum deck you'll realize they're not actually that horrible, except maybe Metalfoes and Majespecter, but that's the same with all no YGO allowed stun decks.
Luke Morales
It is pretty shit, the only thing it's good for is buffing other mechanics like xyz and fusion, and it doesn't even do that very well.
Daniel Williams
Have you tried to go into random room before trying to changes the password?
