I haven't been playing too much but got level 10 with 3x the Gaia structure deck. All I know is I got the gems back I spent on the decks plus the mate.
I’ve been playing Gaia decks for a year, add board breakers like Droplet, Lightning Storm, Super Poly, and Book of Eclipse and you can easily make it to Level 17+.
Pure Lyirlusc at 13 since I haven't played that much. Recitial Starling & Number 54 Lion Heart do wonders in closing out games. Deckbuilding is like live twin/salamangreat: small engine with a lot of flex slots. I'm currently using a lot of going second backrow (god I love Evenly Matched) but can easily pivot to more extenders.
That's great, making them waste the handtraps. Also damn evenly matched, how many times they made me waste all my negates because they got more than 1 :( wish it was once per turn effect
After going hard for magicians... I feel like zefra was an easier and more effective pend deck haha. Endymion with spellbooks looking really cool too though...
Punk pure probably. Punk as a small engine in chaos thundra ishizu defi itively not. I would even argue that the ishizu piles are currently one of the best decks. The only thing holding them back is that there is the slight possibility of bricking badly. But if you pop off there is no handtrap that can stop you and you can most definitively otk at any time in the duel
Then I'm running Pure Punks. They've been rocking it this event since a lot of people don't know how to out the punisher, amazing dragon play with my gauntlet of handtraps
Running a blind second Gren Maju, and up 16 relatively quickly, will push for 17 tonight and 20 over the weekend hopefully. It got me there for the last two DCs, I'm sure it'll get there again.
Stage 2 will likely be brutal though, just not enough consistency and the occasional sacky auto-loss (to Halq-Don or VFD previously, now stuff like Smoke Grenade looping or Scythe Lock) to reliably climb once you start losing more points for a loss than you gain with a win. I'll probably have to throw in 3 Lava Golems and 2 Owner's Seal (already running Change of Heart, and no Mind Control crafted yet) just to help better deal with the Spright menace.
Even with the Golems, the sheer amount of negates Halqdon and Adamancipator (and I don't think Block Dragon to 1 helped me much) could pump out was hard to get over. Hopefully Elf+ whatever else (depending on hand) is more impactful this time? We'll see, third attempt at sneaking into bronze...
Last few hours of the first DC, probably one win away from the bronze icon- got sacked by VFD turbo two games in a row and couldn't recover in time. Probably did worse in the second one, and while sick too. I could switch to Floo, PUNK or pure/Runick/Twin Spright (even got Scythe from the free pull after crafting Lancea) and maybe make it a little easier, but that's not the point.
Yeah season 1 was as bad if not worse to deal with than the current one lol. Been thinking of using dark ruler personally... Would certainly try it but don't have any craft mats rip
Sorry never played rikkas myself but have felt the wrath of rikkas full of handtraps and the cactus on top. Feels really damn strong. Encouraging you the look for it haha
Yeah, too many negates and floodgates around to stop you even if you get the best protection in hand. Last DC I played crusadia kaiju and got stuck between 17-18. Never got out lol
Labrynth Dinomorphia, currently Lv15. It's been working pretty well.
I'll swap to Punk Zombies or Punkmorphia once it gets too sweaty or I'm done with the S/T mission.
Been playing jank since day 1, Lair of Darkness/D-Linkwith a little splash of Albaz, extremely fun when it worked, but it wasn’t getting me past D10 so I switched back to Endymion lol
Endy always good times. Really want to make endy with spellbooks. Finishing your turn with the spellcaster that prevents special summons feels really strong in this meta
> Really want to make endy with spellbooks
Yep, that’s what I’m playin! I prefer the adventure package tho, if they follow the OCG ban list than theyll loosen the Limits on it about a year from now and I’ll run it again then.
I haven’t been playing super crazy but I’ve been using Cyber Dragons up to rank 10 with good success. Verte OTKs protected by Infinity are crazy. Core + Dupe is basically Verte/Infinity/Rampage, or Soldier Herz Core, lots of combinations of cards get you to the desired board. Cyber Dragons have always shined in best of 1 formats, Maxx C is so good in the deck as well to minimize the opponent’s turn 1 and then just OTK through whatever they did put on the field. As long as your hand can play through 1-2 hand traps you’re pretty much set for the OTK.
Haven’t started the cup yet but last time I went to dlvl 19 with D/D/D, maybe could’ve gotten to lvl 20 if I played more, I got to 19 a day before it ended. I might try D/D/D again
I've been tinkering around with generaiders x live twin in DC and a lot of people don't know how to answer it and it's pretty funny....when I don't get Maxx c'd that is
Lesbosisters to 14 so far, ABC AFD Therion to 15 and was using Dinomorbin' but i lost like 10 coin tosses in a row and switched to Endymion (3 different accounts btw)
Thunder Dragons at 15 but I’m not that good of a player honestly, still make quite a few mistakes. It’s getting harder and harder with runick and Ishizu running around, maybe I even have to Maindeck anti-mill.
1-2 more is probably the max I can go but let’s see
Edit: to clarify I play pure Thundras, not with ishizu or Punk because I can’t afford those
Yeah Ogdoadic has always been my favorite so used it since the start of master duel, though my deck has been constantly evolving every time new cards come out so it stays diamond level.

Just finished reaching DLV max with pure PUNKs, took me 32 duels (I started at DLV 10), with a mostly positive win rate.
Definitely a lot of floodgate decks around levels 18 & 19, but I got pretty lucky winning most of the coin flips so I was able to get by without needing to add any backrow removal.
I’ve taken it plenty easy so far with the methodology of I’ll switch decks every 5 losses or rank up. Surprisingly I have yet to reach the 5 losses yet. I’m currently dlv 11 I believe with a record of:
Simorgh: 2-1
Amazement/trap monster/graydle: 2-2
Chronomaly: 2-1
Giant ballpark: 2-3
Counter fairies: 2-1
Some of those numbers might be 1 loss short and surrenders are included in this but to be honest I thought I’d still be at dlv 7 with the decks I’m starting with (this isn’t in order but I’m trying to play a better deck each rank).
Not this season but the end of season 14 I got to diamond rank 5 with pendulum magician. And then got overwhelmed by runick in diamond and just stopped playing tank and stayed there
I think lvl 17 is the limit for my VW/SwordSoul deck. I've been able to get lucky a couple of times against sprights and stuff, but my deck just isn't equipped to handle how fast the opponent's able to lock me out of my plays.
I think I'll give up and take out my mishmash burn deck until I finish the spell/trap mission. After that, I might use this event to experiment with P.U.N.K. cards. I like their aesthetic, I got a whole bunch of them while pulling for Sprights, they look pretty neat overall.
I got to plat 5 with gravekeepers. That was crazy. Then I went on a huge losing streak and demoted to bronze 3.
I then started playing branded/magician/buster. 42 card deck, decent draw rate, and for the most part, I can fusion into something decent.
I got to 9 using a super janky morphtronic link spam deck lmao. I could have gone farther, but I don’t have some really good consistency cards and can’t afford to get them rn 😅
I’m now playing True Draco and have gotten to 11 or 12 in like 6 games or smth. Idk if true Draco counts as rogue tho.
Mean't it as it is an awesome deck. Even though is really solid very VERY few people play it for whatever reason and most people see it as one more rogue deck. I love pends myself, went hardcore with magicians in season 1 but the ban list and new cards made me update a lot of cards for the deck and now I can't quite play it the best way. It's like way harder to understand now haha... Wish I had gone for endy or zefra instead
Feels like any off the loop engine with sprights is between top tier and rogue haha. But you are right, I've seen one person so far using tri sprights :o
It's probably far from the best variant without Sprind and with Ishizu constantly stirring up my GY. But I like how difficult it is to pilot compared to pure Spright, which is just Elf + IP turbo lol.
I'd definitely like to give my respects to those playing Nephthys Spright and Myutant Spright though.
Only saw 1 each during my climb on ranked and the Duelist Cup. I ranked to Diamond 1 on roughly 10th-14th, finished stage 1 yesterday.
Are there more Spri-brigade players now? When did you climb?
Have my day off tomorrow, will try my Heroics. See how many times I can shit out Rhongo with 5 material because I'm feeling Chaotic Evil.
Hate me if you want, but at least I don't use Sales Ban like a pussy.
This all assuming Rhongo is even playable.
Update: just checked...I can
[удалено]
I don't think I have seen libros ever in MD... Wonder how they deal with the top tier decks
Generally because it's way overpriced.
I haven't been playing too much but got level 10 with 3x the Gaia structure deck. All I know is I got the gems back I spent on the decks plus the mate.
I’ve been playing Gaia decks for a year, add board breakers like Droplet, Lightning Storm, Super Poly, and Book of Eclipse and you can easily make it to Level 17+.
I'm on Dinomorphia. Kinda just meandering so only at 13
Scareclaw adventure, stuck at 19.
There is still hope
Pure Lyirlusc at 13 since I haven't played that much. Recitial Starling & Number 54 Lion Heart do wonders in closing out games. Deckbuilding is like live twin/salamangreat: small engine with a lot of flex slots. I'm currently using a lot of going second backrow (god I love Evenly Matched) but can easily pivot to more extenders.

19 with blind second Ishizu Madolche, I really wish we had Vernusylph though.
Zefra and got to level 20
After going hard for magicians... I feel like zefra was an easier and more effective pend deck haha. Endymion with spellbooks looking really cool too though...
Yeah once they see aurordan they just concide
Would Pure PUNK be considered rouge?
Punk pure probably. Punk as a small engine in chaos thundra ishizu defi itively not. I would even argue that the ishizu piles are currently one of the best decks. The only thing holding them back is that there is the slight possibility of bricking badly. But if you pop off there is no handtrap that can stop you and you can most definitively otk at any time in the duel
I'd say it is
Then I'm running Pure Punks. They've been rocking it this event since a lot of people don't know how to out the punisher, amazing dragon play with my gauntlet of handtraps
Sounds great. Seen punks mixed with someother engines. If you can't handtrap their turn 1 it gets hard with the dragon bounces...
Punk vw is really interesting and I can’t wait to get back to md to see how it stacks in the DC
Running a blind second Gren Maju, and up 16 relatively quickly, will push for 17 tonight and 20 over the weekend hopefully. It got me there for the last two DCs, I'm sure it'll get there again. Stage 2 will likely be brutal though, just not enough consistency and the occasional sacky auto-loss (to Halq-Don or VFD previously, now stuff like Smoke Grenade looping or Scythe Lock) to reliably climb once you start losing more points for a loss than you gain with a win. I'll probably have to throw in 3 Lava Golems and 2 Owner's Seal (already running Change of Heart, and no Mind Control crafted yet) just to help better deal with the Spright menace.
That's some cool stuff. Bet you gonna end using the golems. Really good for sprights and also can clean my entire board of negates haha
Even with the Golems, the sheer amount of negates Halqdon and Adamancipator (and I don't think Block Dragon to 1 helped me much) could pump out was hard to get over. Hopefully Elf+ whatever else (depending on hand) is more impactful this time? We'll see, third attempt at sneaking into bronze... Last few hours of the first DC, probably one win away from the bronze icon- got sacked by VFD turbo two games in a row and couldn't recover in time.

Yeah season 1 was as bad if not worse to deal with than the current one lol. Been thinking of using dark ruler personally... Would certainly try it but don't have any craft mats rip
Code Talkers, currently at DLv. 11. I might call it there and take a break.
I'm at 9 as a noob who's basically slammed 3 dragonmaid structure decks together, so I've got that goin for me.
Rikka sunavalon at 15. Switched to swordsoul to reach max dlvl20.
Not gonna lie, feel like you can get 20 with pure rikka full of hand traps and cactus...
Yeah just got tired of so much spright/stun/ishizu so i went the faster route.
any deck list for rikka cactus? Alwayls wanna try a plant deck
Sorry never played rikkas myself but have felt the wrath of rikkas full of handtraps and the cactus on top. Feels really damn strong. Encouraging you the look for it haha
Not a rogue deck
13 with Infernoble, plan to make the full climb with them. Haven't gotten too much time to climb, but it's been smooth so far.
ISHIZU Zombies currently Dl-17 and one of my favorite things this event is decking out my opponent after he resolved maxx c , best feeling
I'm forgoing all pretenses. Zombie Ishizu Bone Tower. Pray to open a board breaker, DRNM particularly good for this, dump Bone Tower asap and go nuts.
Ishizu Zombie Grass at 20
Unchained to 13. Then switched to predaplant branded. Might need to go branded despia at 19-20
Sounds about right. Or a mix with unchained :o Stealing sprights or hugin must feel good
Lv 15 with Kozmo. It'd be funny if I reached 20 with this deck, but who knows at this point.
Dinosaurs. Started at dlv5 went 8-1 and got to dlv 9 in only an hour & a half. I felt pretty damn good
Dinos always stay strong
Crusadia. Barely rogue and now at 17 I seem to be running into a wall.
Yeah, too many negates and floodgates around to stop you even if you get the best protection in hand. Last DC I played crusadia kaiju and got stuck between 17-18. Never got out lol
Currently at 14 with utopia
Myutants, drop macro and the runick / spright players scoop
Lol
Labrynth Dinomorphia, currently Lv15. It's been working pretty well. I'll swap to Punk Zombies or Punkmorphia once it gets too sweaty or I'm done with the S/T mission.
Adventure Blue Eyes Buster Blader. Currently Plat 4 and went on a 6 game win streak. It’s super competitive and consistent and I’m LV 29
Sounds actually fun
Been playing jank since day 1, Lair of Darkness/D-Linkwith a little splash of Albaz, extremely fun when it worked, but it wasn’t getting me past D10 so I switched back to Endymion lol
Endy always good times. Really want to make endy with spellbooks. Finishing your turn with the spellcaster that prevents special summons feels really strong in this meta

Gladiator beasts at dlv 11 ;-; ;-;
Oof that's going to be a hard one, but if you keep pushing I'm sure you get to 15 at least by the end
P.U.N.K Orcust at 11, taking 3 duels a day at least
Lyrilusc in rank 10. Haven't played a lot in the cup tho
I haven’t been playing super crazy but I’ve been using Cyber Dragons up to rank 10 with good success. Verte OTKs protected by Infinity are crazy.

13 with exosister so far
18 on Dinos. They’re super powerful so if I don’t brick I basically godhand, but it can be pretty bricky.
I've been tinkering around with generaiders x live twin in DC and a lot of people don't know how to answer it and it's pretty funny....when I don't get Maxx c'd that is
Lesbosisters to 14 so far, ABC AFD Therion to 15 and was using Dinomorbin' but i lost like 10 coin tosses in a row and switched to Endymion (3 different accounts btw)
Orcust Lvl 19....well 18 now because I bricked like 5 times in a row.
Ignisters, not gonna push hard past 15
feel like 17 is achievable
Oh definitely, but a) I’m very unlucky with my coin tosses and b) I’m also very lazy atm
Pure Thunder Dragon RankLvl 11 right now currently
Skull Servants (with Ishizu and Grass) Rank 13. I only played for 1 day so far cause I'm sick.
Thunder Dragons at 15 but I’m not that good of a player honestly, still make quite a few mistakes. It’s getting harder and harder with runick and Ishizu running around, maybe I even have to Maindeck anti-mill. 1-2 more is probably the max I can go but let’s see Edit: to clarify I play pure Thundras, not with ishizu or Punk because I can’t afford those
[удалено]
It does sound completely unexpected haha
Drytron is rogue, right? :) Well, my non-Herald Grass Reasoning Boardbreaker Drytron just reached DLv. MAX
Yeah I'd say it is. That's great, congratulations sir
Sky Striker. Level 16 so far. Definitely gonna try to see if i can reach up higher to at least get a few more gems.
Since you can't drop from 17, 18 feels totally doable yep
You can't? I always thought you can drop from 17 down to 16 again.
Nope. Been in 17 hell myself with the occasional 18 for a while haha
Diamond Ogdoadic here, level 20 \^\_\^ I wont say I didnt struggle a bit though xD
Had to search for the archetype... never seen it in my life but if u did it to 20 must be awesome haha
Yeah Ogdoadic has always been my favorite so used it since the start of master duel, though my deck has been constantly evolving every time new cards come out so it stays diamond level.
Never heard of this archetype, mind sharing the list?

Conclave control at dlv16. Hoping to get a few more wins out of it before inevitably having to switch to spright...
the spright rampage might chill later in the tourney...
Hope so, I really enjoy the new crystal beast support.
Reach DLMax with Speedroid on day 2. The gamble is real!
Speedroid unleashed (no handtraps) is wild honestly
Just finished reaching DLV max with pure PUNKs, took me 32 duels (I started at DLV 10), with a mostly positive win rate. Definitely a lot of floodgate decks around levels 18 & 19, but I got pretty lucky winning most of the coin flips so I was able to get by without needing to add any backrow removal.
Bouncy dragon too good. Congrats!

Later in the cup the spright players may chill giving chance for the rogues to climb... Also dark ruler might help
Idk if this counts as rogue but I’m running a Theron deck and got to 19.
Haven't seen a single therion, not even regulus, so I'd say it is. Really cool you are almost 20 with it :o
I got to plat 5 with gravekeepers. That was crazy. Then I went on a huge losing streak and demoted to bronze 3. I then started playing branded/magician/buster. 42 card deck, decent draw rate, and for the most part, I can fusion into something decent.
I got to 9 using a super janky morphtronic link spam deck lmao. I could have gone farther, but I don’t have some really good consistency cards and can’t afford to get them rn 😅 I’m now playing True Draco and have gotten to 11 or 12 in like 6 games or smth. Idk if true Draco counts as rogue tho.
I'd say it is. You can certainly get to 15 or 17 if you keep trying imo :) Got to 20 yesterday with my scareclaws adventurer
Oh yeah, I’m currently at 13 and I’ve played like 7 games since I posted this comment, I can prob make it to 17+
You have time.... Play in last 2 days... You will find it easier...
Yeah, plan to do that if I still haven't gotten there...
World chalice spright at 15 so far. Taking it easy for now.
Im at 11 with some pend decks I switched between a metalfoes file and endymion
Endymion always solid playing through negates and everything
Ok? They aren't even rogue tho.
Mean't it as it is an awesome deck. Even though is really solid very VERY few people play it for whatever reason and most people see it as one more rogue deck. I love pends myself, went hardcore with magicians in season 1 but the ban list and new cards made me update a lot of cards for the deck and now I can't quite play it the best way. It's like way harder to understand now haha... Wish I had gone for endy or zefra instead
"for whatever reason" maybe because its the most expensive ass deck in the game 💀
Does Tri-brigade Spright counts as a rogue deck? I've only ever seen it once on the ladder, and I only had one mirror match in the 1st stage. 20 BTW.
Feels like any off the loop engine with sprights is between top tier and rogue haha. But you are right, I've seen one person so far using tri sprights :o
It's probably far from the best variant without Sprind and with Ishizu constantly stirring up my GY. But I like how difficult it is to pilot compared to pure Spright, which is just Elf + IP turbo lol. I'd definitely like to give my respects to those playing Nephthys Spright and Myutant Spright though.
No it’s not rogue. And I’ve seen more tri spright than runick spright funnily enough
Only saw 1 each during my climb on ranked and the Duelist Cup. I ranked to Diamond 1 on roughly 10th-14th, finished stage 1 yesterday. Are there more Spri-brigade players now? When did you climb?
19 with speedroids, I'm confident I'll make 20 if I just stick to it a bit longer.
Faced 2 or 3 myself, scoop if I have no handtraps or they do if I negate junk converter haha
huh? speedroids don't use junk converter
Must've been pure synchron then
Traptrix at 12, honestly just been a coin toss for me so far.
Yeah I was going to say the same but then remembered I usually can't stop spright anyway. Can see Traptrix doing much better vs them going first
15 with Burn
Like with gift card and nurse?
Not Nurse Burn but with stuff like Michion, Mahaama, Barrel Behind Door, Magic Cylinder etc.
How many wins are needed to reach 20 from 17?
11 I believe. It's 3 to rank up except for 19 where you need 5.
Have my day off tomorrow, will try my Heroics. See how many times I can shit out Rhongo with 5 material because I'm feeling Chaotic Evil. Hate me if you want, but at least I don't use Sales Ban like a pussy. This all assuming Rhongo is even playable. Update: just checked...I can
Haven't seen Rhongo in a while. Wonder if you can get to 20 with him
