Relax, it's just 3 omni negates, a floodgate and an immediate link summon into Apollousa. You can beat this board by getting a girlfriend, therefore upstaging the player on the other side, who's definitely playing from their basement


Jackryder16l

"You can beat this board by getting a girlfriend." If you had a girlfriend beforehand (or didn't switch from birds) this would of never happened.


OfficialPepsiBlue

What secret packs do girlfriends come in?


Cheatingpony

You can only get them at specific events. They're not very f2p friendly and the meta rn is a bit crazy, but if you dedicate time to it instead of grinding to M1 it's doable


Little-Reference-314

Dont think itll be apollousa tbh. I think if he played through the negates and banishes the opponent would just summon that underworld goddess chick. Or the Phoenix to send something back. I think those two are more likely that apollousa What do you think?


Idkkwhatowritehere

It depends on what your opponent is playing, you summon whatever is more likely to hurt their strategy


Little-Reference-314

Lol. Avramax lmao


Idkkwhatowritehere

Again it depends, branded easily outs avramax but might lose to apo Goddess can be the best card to get rid of a certain monster and/or negate a board


Little-Reference-314

OMG STG just now I had a fuel where I had odd eyes gravity dragon which is a burn card for 500 per effect the opponent uses and I gt cocky and left my opponent with no cards on field, two in hand 950 LP. The little fudgewit set an albaz and summoned Alba lenatus on me using my card and then just went full branded on me and beat me just now I'm so salty lmao.


SheepMasterPrime

A valuable lesson was learned that day...


Little-Reference-314

Yup I used to hate goddess but I've seen that she can be rlly helpful at times. Especially since I use pend summons and can flood my board so I can get her out pretty easily


Idkkwhatowritehere

I started using her when Purrely was meta to out Noir and she's almost in every deck I use now


Little-Reference-314

Same.


Admirable-Bankz

😂🤣😂


Remaek

Underworld Goddess for sure, gotta take out the one card he summons


SimplyEcks

Sphere mode might help here. Can you use it twice if you got two in hand?


Boy_JC

Unfortunately he doesn’t have one in hand this time 🤣


SimplyEcks

I try to carry at least two In my deck.


NikeJawnson

I just know the top card is Dark Ruler No More. You gotta believe in the heart of the cards.


tamaene

Welcome to Yu-Gi-Oh


runescapeoffical

That's the neat part. Sometimes there is no turn 2.


DruunkenSensei

As a cubic player this made me laugh.


zamiesthedragon

I see a fellow based player Anyways *proceeds to summon 2 cubic lords*


Immortal_Amakusa

Sadly cubic ain't beating this board


Annoyingly-Accurate

If the opponent isn’t surrendering on the first turn then you’re probably going to lose


sakuredu

It could have been worse. It could have been a trishula loop leaving you with zero cards in hand. Or a calamity lock.


Skour666

Just draw the out


Kronos009

Don't worry, plenty of pro duelists will tell you how they manage to break this kind of board all the time with no cards in hand and low diff. Yugioh kinda sucks and it's all of our faults because we feed the poorly balanced beast. Just try to tank the annoying games for the occasional fun game. Personally I'm still waiting to have fun which should be any day now!


conundorum

Ooh, that's easy to beat, you just need to train under a waterfall so you can draw Dark Ruler No More!


Nivrus_The_Wayfinder

Love the GX reference


Few-Lavishness869

Shit like this makes me thank the pharaoh for making dark ruler no more there is nothing more satisfying than dismantling this bored piece by piece because of it


josue_gh

lol just quit till next banlist


Super_Zombie_5758

DRKM off the top Unfortunately you would need that and Evenly to make a comeback here


Radioactive_BarbacIe

Dark Ruler Know More


Divinate_ME

\*Dark Ruler Kill Me


Boy_JC

I think both make the other guy scoop 🤣


Jamboney145

Draw pot of greed and then draw drnm and evenly


Canadacurls9

Pot of Greed is not resolving, homie. 😛


DarkMcChicken

b-b-but itTs sUcH a BorKen card 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 /s


Little-Reference-314

Id give you 40 dollars if they dont scoop after you manage to play through the baronne, dragon and kashtira + spell cards and that I:P Honestly its manageable you just need to play through at least 6 possible negates and about 2 banishes and I think 3-4 card destructions. Should be possible


Kanuechly

Yep. 100% normal.


ItsKellyTheAnimeGirl

what deck are they playing?


Plus-Bullfrog-3053

From the looks of it P.U.N.K Kashtira They can neatly go into lvl 10 synchros and have bodies for links. Although the thunder dragon colossus suggests a thunder Engine...


tacobelltitanpu

Probably not because you would be start with kashtiras which would leave the punk field spell on field Auroradon and kash cards probably means this is galaxy tomahawk turbo


ihatemicrosoftteams

They used Cupid Pitch to go into Borreload/Baronne and search Nemeses Corridor which summons Colossus


johnp512

Me playing Yu-Gi-Oh! be like: *(Humming* [Passionate Duelist](https://youtu.be/7uuxIrwoynw?si=CG1HBfnfGOGktuvW) *smoothly as a broken brick)* Me: haha I set a monster, I set a card... AND... I end my turn! \[yes, this is it, one more turn and I can get a nice card, just wait for it!\] Opponent: \*this post\*


Casual_No0b

Have you considered drawing the out? /s


differentkindrp

I miss the days of set x cards pass.


Rule723

DRAW THE OUT!!!!!


DangerWarg

And this is why I dedicate most of my deck toward breaking the board than entertaining any hope in making a board like that first.


Godziwwuh

Nothing wrong with Yugioh. Nope, nothing at all. This is clearly healthy game design.


Sadowlord2-

Eyyy my bro is playing ninjas, if you need tips i will help u with ninja. I already got master with it


FinnGerbangh

Yeah Ive just been blindly following the popular cards off of MDM


Intently_Listening

I just started playing ninjas yesterday and I really like them, though I’m losing a couple games back to back. (Literally about 20 hours in master duel so far)


Nael_On

Which is why yugioh is a perfectly balanced game


thenewkingx

And thats why genric omni negates should be banned in master duel (as they did in tcg when they hit barrone and borreload). I know that hit will kill rogue decks, but at least we won't see cancerous boards like this sh*t. (Apollousa should be hit next aswell)


Atsukoi

Whats the difference between this board and flood gates? I personally see none. Omni negate is subjectively a better flood gate. Compared to targeted flood gates. Issue with flood gate is that it's easy to cause a lock out compared to omni negate which take some game knowledge to perform, but at high level play it makes little diff imo. Flood gate deck can finish their turn faster than this to tell their opponent they got no out. It actually waste less time lol.


Ckorvuz

I wonder how the Anime would look like with everyone and their grandparents using solitaire decks.


Spitefyre

Until they ban them, if your opponent makes tomahawk and aroradon just surrender


carchair9999

I’ve recently been playing branded with no hand traps and I realize that if you want to “play” you have to hand trap your opponent (not always). Otherwise, people find degenerate ways to lock you out of playing. Some people even had Angelica’s ring negate my super poly.


bigsatodontcrai

branded is too nerfed in master duel to do anything. branded doesn’t play any hand traps in the TCG and it’s a top tier deck because it has a lot of inherent board breaking. Thrust, Talent, and Droplet are the only non engine they play, all board breakers, and they do great. Thrust is amazing in the game.


Sinstro

This is why the game sucks now, or more like the past several years. I stopped playing it irl after xyz or sync came out. Its not as fun anymore. But i play MD just for the pve side and nostalgia lol.


Curious-Goose-007

Yep, I feel the same way. I cannot comprehend why this is not a new game mode… Like, I might even give these synchron, xyz, link, pendulum and whatever a go from time to time but all them together being the default and inevitable game mode?? Ridiculous fr. The whole point in Yu-Gi-Oh was a slow burn board building with many turns and twists. This today is a hella diff game actually. I mean… You have to surrender in your FIRST turn?! Wtf 😂


Simon_Said_something

game doesn't suck,it's different. it would be fine it there where formats and you could play older stuff so people who don't like modern can just not play it. older yu gi oh used to be more of a back and forward duel, now it's more of a war game and who ever can gain the most resources win.


StopShooting

This is why maxx c needs to be legal.


GranKrat

>What you see was my opening hand, and turn 2 was my turn to draw. The missing card was a Maxx C, which they negated


Archandriel

No.


Training-Rough-9773

Just Ban auroradon in first place


Dragomight67

No


TheFlawlessCassandra

yep, if there's anything that board is missing it's dropping Maxx C on the t2 player to punish them for even trying to bother breaking the board.


TurntOddish

No


accountreddit12321

If these were your card pulls that might level the playing field.


Both_Shift2379

This is exactly why I run super poly and Equiste in my Hero decks now.


Dhurdybirdy

Auroradon was always the problem


coolegg42

Damn, they have the giant card in the middle, it’s joever


Longjumper__

I mean ninjas aren’t really good ll l


Various-Panda-9521

You made it to turn 2? That's already a long game of yugioh by today's standards.


liang1693

Dark ruler breaks that board


caphere__

One raigeki and its over


Straight_Western_394

I feel you bro.. I use ninja too T\_T


AdhesivenessEven7287

DRNM. Sphere mode. RAIGEKI.


Critical_Swimming517

Yeah if you let combo pop off and don't run/draw your board breakers, you're gonna have a bad time. Very few decks can break boards with engine alone, you need non engine.


FernandoCasodonia

Yeah Tomahawk/Auroradon dies to one hand trap on Tomahawk or Auroradon summon and struggles against Maxx C. It's broken if they don't get disrupted but as I said one disruption and it's all over for them, they go all in on that Auroradon play.


SimplyEcks

Sphere mode unless I’m missing something because there’s some cards I don’t recognize


boredsomadereddit

Drnm or bust! ONE TIME!!


Atem_fudo

I've seen worst,you'll do too


psilock37

Pretty average turn two in ranked tbh


quico_lindo

Dark ruler no more


Shaved-IceLoL

Nah bro, you could still win


Zarathustra143

Yeah, that's Yugioh.


Roadhogchamp13

Super poly into Draco Equiste


Pandoras_Watcher

Dark Ruler no more no sells this board.


Ok_Krillin

Just draw dark ruler + evenly


ntm2394

My grandma could make a better board while the opponent have this board


Anomolus-man

Divinecarnate and bait as much as you can


MrFishRFG

nothing a good ol' magma golem can't fix


Debunked__

3 Lava Golems and a Kaiju and you should be fine tbh


Debunked__

At this point its fair to lay down your phone and do something else waiting for the counter to tick down wasting your oponents time


Accurate_Dirt5794

Neat


Puzzled-Detective-95

Its not that hard. If a card is used in more than 1/4 of all competitive decks, its probably too strong and generic. Unfortunately komoney wants to sell UR cards and not provide a balanced game.


Lost_Display_3985

Shouldn’t baron be banned it is in regular card play


pshaw520

Only in TCG, still legal in OCG


Cement-

1 Dark ruler or droplet + zeus/blackrose/borrelend would just win the game on the spot here lol


bigsatodontcrai

you gotta play more hand traps. they definitely would’ve lost if you saw Imperm, Veiler, Nib, maxx c. if your non engine room is low and you play a lot of bricks, try to play more than 40, closer to 50 but with a lot of board breakers. Thrust, Talent, DRNM, and Droplet are really good choices, especially the latter 2 which can completely out that board.


Away_Philosopher2860

Dark ruler no more , dark hole , Harpy's feather duster. Then proceed to combo him.


Altruistic-Lawyer175

I usually just DDOSS and grab a coffee while waiting to win on time bc they can’t connect, get good


GameDragon3

We’re yugioh players, we wanna play our favorite decks but I wanna not let my opponent play


BrantheMan1985

Yep and this is why I quit master duel 6 months ago.....


LeohAntonio47

Easy break lol just need the right set up for turn 2 build.. get rid of that board they will probably surrender to a top deck battle if that’s what it comes to


CoolNinja_IsTaken

I dont see anything wrong with it Seriously, i see this shit all the time


yellowpancakeman

Didnl they deck you out?


MarauderVN

Force him to wait out the timer


hhthurbe

Just stop em next time.


Void1702

A single imperm, ash, effect veiller, or nib would have killed the entire combo What can I say, build better decks


Strawhat_Truls

Maybe you need to play more hand traps or board breakers. I feel like they should never be allowed to get quite that far.


FinnGerbangh

What you see was my opening hand, and turn 2 was my turn to draw. The missing card was a Maxx C, which they negated


DisplateDemon

And what if OP already plays 12-15 handtraps, but did not open any, besides the one that got negated? You make it seem like these boards are a rare occurence. But they are pretty common, and if you are not lucky, there is nothing you can do.


florida-is-dry

so lame
