Before asking to be spoonfed, try the following:
● READ THE OP
● Read the cards carefully
● 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

First for Dinos will never be meta but we'll love them anyway.

Can D/D/Ds top in a Zoodiac format next month?

Threesome with the sheep and the rabbit

No matter how many times you post these images they will never be real, Andrew.

Are the Dlords good? What is the best deck?

Oviraptor's revival effect confirmed to target level 4 or lower for destruction.
So you can't pop dogoran, but you can pop the token, then protect it with Lost World.

Savants Euler and Leibniz when

Post preliminary ratios for Dinos.

Pojo just wants to play Oviraptor Zoodiacs

3 Ovi
3 Cerababy
2 Petribaby
1 big boss
3 Kabazuls and rescue rabbit
Zoodiacs since i'm cancer

Cheap Desires reprint when?

You think number 38 will ever drop down in price or is it going to always cost 20 bucks now.

3 Oviraptor + one of the little shits seems like a great engine to play in True Draco Zoodiacs.
>summon Oviraptor
>search little guy
>pop little guy for Diagram
>summon another Oviraptor
>get Laggia/Dolkka

They'll be shit pure though, because Konami doesn't want pure decks anymore

After common Twister, Solemn and Quake Mirror.

It's so hard to get excited for new cards these days with Konami's new design philosophy of making everything garbage when played pure, but good when thrown into a different deck with other engines.

Can't get hyped over Dinosaurs when I know it's just gonna be Laggia/Dolkka engine in an existing meta deck.

So what would TCG rename this card into?

Lost World is already perfect as a Jurassic Park reference.

they make kozmo cards for the episode 7 characters which are hilariously OP and can beat the dark destroyers+dark lady spam effortlessly

Just run Reckless Greed ;)

Triassic Park

I dunno man, every deck will be shit once Rat bites the dust.

Dynosty

>Implying rat will ever be banned
kill the rat and yugioh dies with it

No they fucking can't. DDD is a really fragile deck and is easily stopped if the opponent has played the deck.

> every deck will be shit

>and is easily stopped
You don't always have a Solemn on board user.

We need a another power vacuum. Degeneracy gets old after a while.

The sweet release of death.

You fucking liar, I just tested Zoodiacs against good players and Zoodiacs fucking lose hard if they don't open good.

It's the winning Kaiju Zoodiacs in the OCG I've been using btw.

Laggia/Dolka isn't an engine, they're an end goal. Engines fuel your plays and make things happen.

>DDD is a really fragile deck and is easily stopped if the opponent has played the deck.
This is the curse every combo deck faces.
Even if you manage to not missplay once in the duel and open broke, Maxx "C" getting dropped means you just lost your entire turn and a well timed Veiler/Ghost Ogre or Solemn/Barrier means everything is ruined.

That's what I said, an engine to puke out Laggia and Dolkka in other meta decks.

Why the FUCK do people end their turns after Maxx C happens. Just keep going nigger, card advantage doesn't mean shit if your board is unbreakable.

Barrier beat is shit too

One, who the fuck is andrew. That's not my name
Two, who gives a shit if they aren't real, that doesn't stop me to beat my meat thinking of the Lunathick archtype

Because breaking said board is a lot easier and more likely with a 10+ card hand

Unless they maindeck something to break it. Like Kaiju or Meme Sphere.

DDD board is easy to deal with.

You can only Kaiju one thing at a time remember. And nothing can get around the set-4-pass.

...

Would you rather be vulnerable or defenseless? Thought so.

>give opponent a +10-20 to open Crystal Wing, Seigfried and Hope Harbinger
>they break it by Kaijuing Crystal Wing and summoning Rat.
>have to scoop since nothing can turn the duel around since opponent will now have at least +15 over you.
Never take the Maxx C challenge, it always ends badly.

That one Lamia on the field won't do you much good either, coward.

Sphere mode is glorious

Ghost Dinos and Summer Palms

> +15 over you

dude

>take the C to make magnus t1
>opponent was playing abcs and scoops after I woosh away his the lightning

Speak for yourself peasent

The only good Luna is Blue Cat and she's petite and cute, not thick

You know the game is in a bad state when you can laugh at how painfully true this is.
The design of quick effects was a mistake, it not only made traps near useless and redundant but it promoted an unhealthy playstyle of opening as many as possible as then watching your opponent lose trying to break it.

The entire lunalight archtype is good in their own ways, thick or not. those legs are too much for me.

I want to rub my face in Leo's fluff.

Than forcibly fuse her with wicked plants into an alien dragon.

>then watching your opponent lose trying to break it
Assuming those three monsters are alone with one or two backrow cards. You can break that board with at least 3 spells and 2 effect monsters assuming you baited the opponent into negating a raigeki and a dark hole and then you just bait the shit out of Crystal wang and then you proceed to summon the rat and win.

GG NO RE if they had dimensional barrier though.

Help, i don't know what Zefra deck build since all of them work now.

With Nekroz?
With Tellars?
With Yang Zing?

this

And what will you do when Rat is gone?

Put 3 sphere modes in main deck

>Tfw you are praying for Fossils in the next Collectors Pack to mix with the new Dinos but you know they will probably never see the light of day.

I really wish Ultimate Conductor Tyranny came out back when I still played the game

We're gonna get fags posting
>unban meeeeee
same as they do with Construct and Stratos

Unban meeeeeeee

Stratos is a meme, Construct is giant waifu.
Rat is an ugly piece of shit
Slight difference

Construct had no reason to be banned other than to shake up the meta and make people buy new shit. Shaddolls were a functional but non-broken deck that had no reason to be hit.

Is it worth building a deck around pic related and equipping it with stuff like Mage Power or Moon Mirror Shield to beat your opponent the fuck down?

Don't forget 3 Mound of the Bound Creator to search it and 1 vanilla Ra so when Sphere Mode goes back to you, you get a free 4K beater
That will only happen in a dystopian future where R4NK has been powercreeped into being useless.
If that ever happens, Konami has officially broken the game.

It's a really nice monster design, a great definition of an 'Ace' monster.
Sleep tight borb.

Purely for the hilarity I'd say so, it's like Frog The Jam OTK or fucking Soitsu

>R4NK has been powercreeped
That would only be possible if Konami stopped supporting rank 4. How can the most supported mechanism ever be power creeped?

Well R4 had gone out of fashion for a while when Blue-Eyes, Kozmos, and BA Knights were on the scene.
Then ABC reared its ugly heads and we were back to our old ways.

Sleep tight, Borb
Stratos has always been legal in the OCG, the only problematic card left in HERO is Dark Law which won't be hit because even Konami knows that's the last reason why HERO can be considered anything but a pile of bad card designs ranging from over a decade.
This is the sentiment I share but I guess Konami got tired of how Shaddolls could always adapt to any meta circumstance.

You mean Slime Toad?

>Shaddolls could always adapt to any meta circumstance
And now we have Zodiacs adapting to every deck, nevermind every meta. How were these things supposed to last again?

>How can the most supported mechanism ever be power creeped?
They design everything to be beyond its capabilities to out and then stop supporting it or just print bad cards for it.
That's how powercreep works, a card design change which the other cards can't handle or don't get designed to handle.
What can R4NK do against an untargetable monster which can't be destroyed by battle for example?

This is not okay, he will always be frog the jam
I would own a bunch of Frog the Jams, but the price is a bit too much for a meme

Alternatively they could simply ban the most versatile Rank 4s, like Castel or the Lightning, that would slaughter R4NKs abundance. But we arent nearly at the point of that being necessary.

I actually like that everything is an engine for the meta decks to abuse now.
Instead of a closed off xenophobic archetype that would've never seen the meta, now the best cards of these themes can actually shake up the game in their own way. You don't always have to make an entirely new deck to change the game. Using Dinos as an example, the addition of Evolzars to Zoodiacs is going to be HUGE.

>What can R4NK do against an untargetable monster which can't be destroyed by battle for example?
Negate it, of course.

But user, it's just like the good old days, which is the best.

Do the Tag Force games have sex scenes, no joke they look just like eroge

There's this Lunalight player at my locals who always goes to lengths against my Dinomists. It seems like making this guy is the only way for him to get around all my Plesios, but when he does, he beats the shit out of me.

nigga
i wish

That's not a good thing, it's a bad thing because it leads to eternal tier 0 formats of engines everywhere.

That's exactly why overcentralisation is a bad thing. Staple archetypes are a mistake.

Rat is far above that other shit you mentioned

How is that bad?

it's such a tease there's no banging scene from what you'd expect of these sort of VNs,

And non-official YGO porn is disgustingly ugly

I mean I'm no expert anymore as I haven't played the deck in months, but I'd be willing to test a few rounds with full power D/D/D against Zoodiacs, although I have a feeling that Zoos will get the better of Declans Dank Dudes
Looks like we've got an assmad quadruple nigger here, if you want to face me so badly you could have just said so cuckboy

Disagree. Notice how every deck right now is a zood variant?
Some degree of xenophobia is necessary.

How is it not? How is what you support any better? And no, this shitpost does not count as a reason.

I'm pretty sure Sherry basically jokes about fucking you in your sleep a couple times in 5.

>tfw Lost World is actually neat as fuck but Dragonic Diagram is going to be the better field spell for the deck

I don't like how this chick is so hot but is the most covered up YGO woman EVER.

There's no fanservice scene or anything with her really.

A more detailed explanation would be greatly appreciated.

>Dragonic Diagram
>there's only 6 target in deck
>True Draco have no synergy with the deck
Why?

>implying you need synergy when every engine in the deck works seperately from one another

Lithosazim has synergy with the deck and you run tons of searchers for those 6 targets

So what do dinos do when their Oviraptor gets negated?
Do they just scoop because they have nothing else and can't play without the normal summon?

How can you even like ddd autist right now?

first they get hyped as fuck over a structure deck release that to be honest only has a handful of decent cards in it

then they inflate the price of 38 by over 100% bc they're autistic and are already trying to make broken strats around a structure deck release

last of all they will probably end up getting a card or two banned or limited with all their coonery

CHECKMATE UPDATE WHEN?

His name should've been changed to Toadally Jammin'

Rat and/or Trues and/or whatever other decent engine
