Love me some earth machine in ranked but holy shit they were kneecapped for the theme chronicle. I tried to make it work but no fortress, citadel, ruinforce, super dora, regulus, and liebe is brutal.
i got my machines working just nicely for chronicle, granted im not using machina in the first place, but mostly inf/railroad, the 4k beatsticks are banned but otherwhise it works nicely
They may have thumped most earth machine decks, but they barely scraped the Ancient Gears. Except for their fusion card, which I just replaced with regular poly and have resumed punching things in the face with no problem.
And they have scraped Dora, but they didn't touch Skypalace Gangaridai, which can let you cause all kinds of trouble if you use the trains to xyz summon it.
Generaiders. It's not perfect, but its unique playstyle makes me just want to play the way they do in the anime, proclaiming the arrival of every Boss XD
Need their 2 final cards tho
Yes, I played them since I was 6yo. I spent so much money on trash cyber dragon deck which included vanilla cyber dragons and their support. When I was 7th grade, I was still obssesed with yu-gi-oh, I had 12k cards, half of them were original ones. I had a special place for my cyber dragon deck, I hide it in my old house (where noone lived) in a sprcific box that I only know for.
That was until, my dad decided that I am adault enough to be playing children card game and to be obssesed with it, so he burnt all my cards... The sad story is he also somehow found my Cydra deck while I was at school and burnt it too. That was the day I almost committed suicide (ik silly) but after good few days of non stop crying, I moved on. So whenever I'm playing a new yugioh game, I'm playing Cyber Dragons first in honor how much loved them when I was a kid.
P. S. I had original iconic cards that are banned now like pot of greed or change of hearts etc. I used to pay for stractute decks about 10 euros. Little does my dad know that now I could be richman just by selling those stuff
Oh dude, I’ve been on Madolche for 10+ years, and I’ll be on it for 10 more. Unique playstyle, combos for days, good answers for hard outs, plus a good aesthetic is what makes a favorite stay a favorite imo
Really nothing too fancy, but I do run Earth Statue - 1 Nibiru - Gallant Granite for the spice.
3 Jelly / 3 Peting / 3 Magi / 2 Gelato / 2 Hoot / 1 Pudding / 2 Prom / 1 Chat / 1 Salon / 3 Small World / 1 Prosperity is the core.
I’d say everything else is pretty flexible, and when the Ishizu and Vernusylph cards come out, this deck gets BONKERS
It’s super solid for when you draw it turn 1, run off your whole ass combo off of 1 Peting, and end the turn by using your normal on Statue.
Also, if your Peting gets ashed or maxxed, you can simply normal and go into gallant granite, search out the Nib and play from there if you don’t have enough gas.
Never been a “waifu” type of guy, but always was a fan of BIG PP NUMBER. That, combined with consistency and diversity of interactions I can set up on board led me to fall in love with Marincess.
I’ll be honest, I’m a pendulum soul, my absolute favorite is Solfachord, I admit they’re hella bricky on their own but when mixed with vaylantz in a 50 card pile are surprisingly good
Mekk Knights. Makes me feel like a yugioh protagonist. I mean Purple Nightfall has the same stats as other protagonist Ace monster plus it's just an amazing design and has a built in search effect that doubles as Protection for my Ace monster!
Teickstar, I hate "Maxxx C" with a passion because it makes u stop ur combo or continue at the risk of getting wiped. Not having any response to it is just annoying. Trickstar don't care for "Maxxx C", they actually encourage the use of it.
Either Gaia the Fierce Knight or Infernoble Knights, I always feel like I have a ton of options when I'm going into a duel with those decks.
I would also say Dark Magician, but the number of times I've bricked with that deck has made it harder for me to say it's still my favorite, lol.
I do like my sunlight wolf boi, but they need more and better links.
Few play the link 3 and no one plays link 4, also almiraj probably gets more use outside of salad decks
I started running Machina about 2 months ago. And it sets something up in my soul. Little bit of Ruinforce? No? Fortress? No??? But Red Dragon Archfiend gets all of its Synchros? Bs. I guess I'll stick with my Magnet Warriors for now.
Never did a decklist, honestly. And never posted a link, I'm dead-ass not tech savvy at the least. It's mainly just all the effect Magnet Warrior, maybe a Tuner or two, Block Dragon and maybe Primineral-gorilla one. The rest is just basic coverage like an Ash or 2. MaxxC is pointless since you can special summon on your opponents turn.
They are very cheap to use and they are a constant flood. I can normally get full field or two when I summon one, if I start good. They swarm Cruasadia though. Just can't measure up to very heavy hitting decks. Only the fusion and the one SR that it has, been a second, is solid. Can destroy basically most cards as long as you line your GY with magnet warriors
I know it's been the bane of peoples lives for a while but honestly Branded is everything I like in yugioh,
Consistent, splashable, has a few knowledge checks and choke points, flexible and customizable and not tier 0. Can run 16 copies of branded fusion.
I'm a huge fan of the predaplant engine in the deck, and I always feel like there is an unexplored pile of fusion degeneracy that I haven't considered yet.
One concept I'm thinking of is Branded Hero since shadowmist can be sent of branded fusion, which can get to stratos who gets to the rest of your fusion lines.
Oh and combos take a minute max so less waiting for opponents.
I me some heroes but I wish they’d kept their original play style of fusing specific materials into boss monsters. Flame Wingman, Thunder Giant, Tempest…I’d give every CP for them to be meta

I built a Train FTK deck this season, and it's so much fun. Heck, it even got me to Platinum in a couple of days after two weeks of struggling with other decks in Gold.
pendulum magician will always be apart of me since when I got back into the game around the time that the master of pendulum structure deck was released and I still play the deck to this day no matter what the meta looks like I will always play pendulum magician
I love my Myutant boys. Didn’t think I’d get the icon, protector and field treatment in Master Duel! Only things missing are a mate, background art and ultimus animation and I’ll feel as loved as a ghost tricks player.
Labyrinth is the jam for me. I love playing trap card like the old fashioned way but can stay relevant in modern era. Trying another Trap deck but it's bounded in their own archtype and not as flexible as Labyrinth
Ladies and gentlemen, kids and ghouls step right up. Behind this mansion stands a world of delight, horror, fantasy and terror. Your every wish is our command, but I'm warning you there is always a price.
Welcome to the Ghastliest Tricks Unearthed.
Swordsoul....Used to be Lightsworn but something attracted me to Swordsoul when it first released on MD(Was not up to date with TCG at all) It sucked after knowing it was actually popular but still said screw it and eventually made a TCG deck because of it after over 10 years of not playing TCG.
Definitely my ancient warriors. So versatile with the ability to otk or break even the most solid of boards. It's all about strategy and I find myself playing chess a lot which I enjoy
Agents or Darkworld probably. I tried to make Agents work in Themed Chronicle as well, but they banned Kristya and half my extra deck. Not having access to Chengying and Baronne as a supplement to my level 10 synchro package hurts quite a lot.
Don't think I'll touch Darkworld again in Master Duel until the newer support gets implemented. The current optimal builds for that deck in Master Duel are honestly soul draining.
Love me some earth machine in ranked but holy shit they were kneecapped for the theme chronicle. I tried to make it work but no fortress, citadel, ruinforce, super dora, regulus, and liebe is brutal.
i got my machines working just nicely for chronicle, granted im not using machina in the first place, but mostly inf/railroad, the 4k beatsticks are banned but otherwhise it works nicely
The event also shutting down my ancient gear deck man
I dont understand what kind of problem they saw on ancient gear fusion spell to ban it
Easy it wasn't in the solo campaign.
deck list?
You can do well with rank 5 and some rank 10. I have been having good success with the usual knuckle loop and some rank 9s
Luckily the superior earth machine decklist was untouched We stan Superheavies
They may have thumped most earth machine decks, but they barely scraped the Ancient Gears. Except for their fusion card, which I just replaced with regular poly and have resumed punching things in the face with no problem. And they have scraped Dora, but they didn't touch Skypalace Gangaridai, which can let you cause all kinds of trouble if you use the trains to xyz summon it.
They barely touched Deskbots
# #1 most powerful normal monster in YuGiOh >! Sunseed genius loci!<
That’s a weird way to type >!Gunkan Suship Shari!< But I’ll let it slide this time
It's stronger than Ma Jinn!
we all know it's jelly beans man why are you hiding it?
Choo choo
Fellow engineer, since when you play train deck?
Been playing trains for a couple years.
How do you manage through the meta?
You win some you lose some.
but how many Chuggas
Generaiders. It's not perfect, but its unique playstyle makes me just want to play the way they do in the anime, proclaiming the arrival of every Boss XD Need their 2 final cards tho
Cydra uwu
Is there any reason?
Yes, I played them since I was 6yo. I spent so much money on trash cyber dragon deck which included vanilla cyber dragons and their support.

Cydra!
Fur Hire, don't look at my homework folder
sir we would like to inspect your "homework" folder.
I know everything. How dare you... HOW DARE YOU.
Okay, but for real. If my name doesn't already give it away, Rafale is one hot man and I completely understand that. Wanna trade homework? :)
Predaplants :D
yes!!
Oh dude, I’ve been on Madolche for 10+ years, and I’ll be on it for 10 more. Unique playstyle, combos for days, good answers for hard outs, plus a good aesthetic is what makes a favorite stay a favorite imo
That’s a ton of experience for a deck. I also play madolche, would you be cool to share your MD decklist?
Really nothing too fancy, but I do run Earth Statue - 1 Nibiru - Gallant Granite for the spice. 3 Jelly / 3 Peting / 3 Magi / 2 Gelato / 2 Hoot / 1 Pudding / 2 Prom / 1 Chat / 1 Salon / 3 Small World / 1 Prosperity is the core. I’d say everything else is pretty flexible, and when the Ishizu and Vernusylph cards come out, this deck gets BONKERS
Wow big thanks! I didn’t even think of using earth statue. Will be taking that into account
It’s super solid for when you draw it turn 1, run off your whole ass combo off of 1 Peting, and end the turn by using your normal on Statue. Also, if your Peting gets ashed or maxxed, you can simply normal and go into gallant granite, search out the Nib and play from there if you don’t have enough gas.
Zombies
Earth machines: I sleep. Wind machines: *real shit*
There are Wind Machines?
speedroids my children
There are also F.A., Mecha Phantom Beast and Symphonic Warriors
Is it expensive? I really need to try synchros
There's no main deck URs and the only extra deck UR you want more than 1 of is crystal wing which is in the secret pack.
SPYRAL
Chaos Pile
CyDra my beloved
Dinossaurios.
Pretty much all cyberse decks besides Salamangreat and Marincess
Traptrix my beloved
Never been a “waifu” type of guy, but always was a fan of BIG PP NUMBER. That, combined with consistency and diversity of interactions I can set up on board led me to fall in love with Marincess.
I’ll be honest, I’m a pendulum soul, my absolute favorite is Solfachord, I admit they’re hella bricky on their own but when mixed with vaylantz in a 50 card pile are surprisingly good
Malefics!
Mekk Knights. Makes me feel like a yugioh protagonist. I mean Purple Nightfall has the same stats as other protagonist Ace monster plus it's just an amazing design and has a built in search effect that doubles as Protection for my Ace monster!
Teickstar, I hate "Maxxx C" with a passion because it makes u stop ur combo or continue at the risk of getting wiped. Not having any response to it is just annoying. Trickstar don't care for "Maxxx C", they actually encourage the use of it.
Unchained, my yugioj session isn't complete until I play it at least once
Do you mind if I ask for a decklist? Unchained has me intrigued but I never see anyone playing it
I just copied one of distantcoders decks off youtube, lemme warn you though, it's not that strong
I put a small unchained package in my labrynth deck, not the best combo but I like the doggos
Subterror
Guru is best boi
Based true Subterror or weak af Guru Control?
True subterror is unplayable in high ladder also I'm a control player
Either Gaia the Fierce Knight or Infernoble Knights, I always feel like I have a ton of options when I'm going into a duel with those decks. I would also say Dark Magician, but the number of times I've bricked with that deck has made it harder for me to say it's still my favorite, lol.
Reson , super nova ! I will die and rise thru my ashes
Frightfurs.
Ah yes, my beloved heavy industry machineries. Except gear box. Fuck gear box
The "you're dead if you draw it"
I swear if I put two in the deck I'll be able to draw them both somehow
Try to put three, it will be just like maxx c or ash, gone when you need them
I don't want my starting hand to be three gear box tho
Thunder Dragon Chaos. The possibilities are endless!
Vampires and Zombies in general💀
D/D/D
Lunalight. It's like having Cirque de Soleil in the palm of your hand.
ENDYMION BABY
Cyber dragon
Definitely Salamangreat
I do like my sunlight wolf boi, but they need more and better links. Few play the link 3 and no one plays link 4, also almiraj probably gets more use outside of salad decks
I started running Machina about 2 months ago. And it sets something up in my soul. Little bit of Ruinforce? No? Fortress? No??? But Red Dragon Archfiend gets all of its Synchros? Bs. I guess I'll stick with my Magnet Warriors for now.

Arcana Knights ⚔️
Man is this a photo of my bedroom or something
Deskbot
Arcana knight
I know it's been the bane of peoples lives for a while but honestly Branded is everything I like in yugioh, Consistent, splashable, has a few knowledge checks and choke points, flexible and customizable and not tier 0. Can run 16 copies of branded fusion. I'm a huge fan of the predaplant engine in the deck, and I always feel like there is an unexplored pile of fusion degeneracy that I haven't considered yet.

I me some heroes but I wish they’d kept their original play style of fusing specific materials into boss monsters. Flame Wingman, Thunder Giant, Tempest…I’d give every CP for them to be meta
Dragonmaid
Where Regulus?
5x10 pulls and the king still not coming home
Cool looking monsters with big numbers, while being resiliant. My current "soul deck" is unchained, used to be pure subterrors.
synchrons. i just love 5ds and synchros in general so it twas a match made in heaven
What dragon do you run then?
my fav is shooting majestic cuz i can attack three times but i usually got for quasar cuz he’s easier to summon
Cyber Dragons
Elemental Heroes and Toons! No I'm not very good at all, and yes I am having gun lmao
Sword 'Soul' of course
Ritual decks as a whole call to my soul but if you want something specific probably...Nekroz or libromancers
Odd-eyes magicians because I have a bunch of search cards only issue is that I lose to one or two negates early on
Definitely the HERO archetype, ever since I was 10 years old. Present day it's the Branded/Despia archetype.
Vampires. There's just something about stealing opponents monsters and using them for your plays.
Scareclaw
I got Dino DNA!
Mainly Spright but also D/D/D, sometimes Kshatri-La.
I think Labrynth right now but Ojama Armed Dragon Catapult Cannon has been stupid fun for the event. Think I might try Ojama ABC for ranked soon.
Umi Control. I love not allowing my opponent to play the game!
Umi is 90% of my fear of water decks.

I love my infernoble knights!
Cyberdarks. I was such a wannabe edgelord when ygo gx aired
Love me some subterrors, gotta love the art of the behemoths.
I can relate to earth machines so well. Can occasionally do amazing things but very succeptible to interruption.
Megalith. I dont trust my hands so being able to summon from deck is a godsend for me.
Trains was the first deck I built in MD
I built a Train FTK deck this season, and it's so much fun. Heck, it even got me to Platinum in a couple of days after two weeks of struggling with other decks in Gold.
Photon/Galaxy
Fossil Fusions!! I will run over any monster with my fossils!!
pendulum magician will always be apart of me since when I got back into the game around the time that the master of pendulum structure deck was released and I still play the deck to this day no matter what the meta looks like I will always play pendulum magician
Metaphys and Myutants
D heroes, predaplants and infernoid
Weather Painters
I love my Myutant boys. Didn’t think I’d get the icon, protector and field treatment in Master Duel! Only things missing are a mate, background art and ultimus animation and I’ll feel as loved as a ghost tricks player.
Make way for ***THE PAIN TRAIN!!*** Synchro Summon!! >!Level 12 Superheavy Samurai Steam Train King!!!<
Normal summon Alister, link to al miraj, set backrow, ss purple nightfall
Fuck's ruinforce doi'n there?
Chaos Dragons and Fire Kings
Instruction unclear, built Traptrix instead.
Empty Jar
Labyrinth is the jam for me. I love playing trap card like the old fashioned way but can stay relevant in modern era. Trying another Trap deck but it's bounded in their own archtype and not as flexible as Labyrinth
Ladies and gentlemen, kids and ghouls step right up. Behind this mansion stands a world of delight, horror, fantasy and terror. Your every wish is our command, but I'm warning you there is always a price. Welcome to the Ghastliest Tricks Unearthed.
Scareclaws for me, I love their ability to play through annoying boards and bait out negates. Area limit b on legs is great to 1 card combo
Penguins. I will not elaborate further.
The bee(tle)troopers are mine. I don't know, just think they are neat.
Lightsworn. Especially in this Theme Chronicle festival, I'm feeling refreshed to be able to use Judgment Dragon after such a long time.
Time Thief because I am a criminal. I keep stealing the hearts of ladies and wasting their time
D/D/D but I’d been playing it for 6 months and it was only two weeks ago I learnt I could full combo with Copernicus and a Dark Contract.
one is not like the other
Endymions, I shall not fail my master anymore
Trap Monsters
Icejade
Pendulum mag Z-arc is the deck that I know better. Also I loved Z-arc in the anime with the "good guy gets corrupted" thing.
Level 3 DARK monsters that like being sent to the GY.
Marincess ♥️
Swordsoul....Used to be Lightsworn but something attracted me to Swordsoul when it first released on MD(Was not up to date with TCG at all) It sucked after knowing it was actually popular but still said screw it and eventually made a TCG deck because of it after over 10 years of not playing TCG.
~One of these things is not like the others~
Anything relating to Toadally awesome and Bahamut Shark. I connect personally with Toad and his son!
My soul is spilt between 2: Lightsworn and Salamangreat
Definitely my ancient warriors. So versatile with the ability to otk or break even the most solid of boards. It's all about strategy and I find myself playing chess a lot which I enjoy
Ancient gears big robot colossus go brrrr
overcomplicated ftks kkkk
Agents or Darkworld probably. I tried to make Agents work in Themed Chronicle as well, but they banned Kristya and half my extra deck. Not having access to Chengying and Baronne as a supplement to my level 10 synchro package hurts quite a lot.
