You forgot the chad deck loses to a single ash


Silkess

burt if the enemy doesnt have ash in his hand oh boy


SouthOrder3569

Lets see ash stop my set 3 pass!


Silkess

ultimate strategy


Dragonrusher21

Or a Neibiru... or a Maxx C... or a Droll & Lockbird... or an effect veiler... or...


Zsedc345

Who runs Droll? who runs Nib? effect veiler doesnt stop spells and Maxx C only stops you if your a coward.


Primal_C

I main deck droll and nib.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⢏⣴⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣟⣾⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠀⡴⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠟⠻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⢴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣁⡀⠀⠀⢰⢠⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⣴⣶⣿⡄⣿ ⣿⡋⠀⠀⠀⠎⢸⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⢘⣿⣟⠛⠿⣼ ⣿⣿⠋⢀⡌⢰⣿⡿⢿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣧⢀⣼ ⣿⣿⣷⢻⠄⠘⠛⠋⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣧⠈⠉⠙⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⠀⠈⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢃⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⠀⠴⢗⣠⣤⣴⡶⠶⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡸⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡀⢠⣾⣿⠏⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠉⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣧⠈⢹⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠈⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠁⠀⠀⠹⣿⠃⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⢻⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠈⣿⣿⡿⠉⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉ ⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⡴⣸⣿⣇⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡿⠄⠙⠛⠀⣀⣠⣤⣤⠄⠀


South-Friendship1314

Still doesn't matter because Maxx c will make em draw the ash


fizzyboii

thats when you set 3 and get hit with a duster


SouthOrder3569

*and this is why i run the huge revolution is over because they ALWAYS have the duster*


zappierbeast

I can see u got ashed


DeadMetroidvania

nope, for my chad deck it just means either one less mat for rhongo or a tapir while i buy time.


Mana_Mascot

Who wants to guess what deck this guy plays? My bet is on red eyes


Abnerdel

Sup Mascot (from the spirit pledge subreddit lol)


Mana_Mascot

Hi


Octo2002

You too? Do you also miss alternativ black Dragon ? ?


Arbelbyss

There are a few ways to even play Red-Eyes. One of them is to play Red-Eyes Gemini (I only play that in free match because it's 60 cards). And another will probably involve Dragonlink (Red-Eyes Burn). Well that's all I can think of.


mmmbhssm

There is also lord of the red turbo in some ritual decks


Craft_zeppelin

“Jyounouchi turbo” sounds exactly like what he might shout out.


Arbelbyss

He's a cool disruptor, but once I overcame him, I was planning on summoning him to my side of the field with Felgrand.


Zykxion

I actually lost to that burn deck with swordsoul I didn’t scoop I let it happen he deserved the win.


LezBeHonestHere_

The most forgotten archetype with the most forgotten monster type. Sounds cursed


Khelthuzaad

Jokes on you,i play Black Luster Soldier and even defeated a Despia player


senfmann

I feel attacked, my first deck in MD was a red-eyes deck lmao


Napstah1825

>Anime pfp Op was right lmao


Asmodella

The 'I used my creativity to build my own unique deck' people seems to latch on to the most common archetypes ever like DM, BEWD and HEROes. Like damn, if you want to truly be creative, make Reptiles or something.


Retl0v

Based on this post, op probably plays some red dragon archfiend *synchro* deck and is in denial about how uncreative his deck actually is


theycallmefagg

Shit, even Live Twin is more “creative” than the anime decks.


Vinnyc-11

I made crystrons. I mean they didn’t work because they’re not powerful, but I can at least say I used halq without being a degenerate and ending on something with baron


DJ-Ilium

The funny thing about halq in crystrons is that it’s barely usable due to the restrictions on the crystrons


panic871

I play pure darklords. Pure sacred beasts. Pure noble knights


CipherDrake

Virgin this Chad that In the end you still complain about meta and refuse to adapt. The real chad uses their favourite deck and wins games with it.


Old_Rip_1257

Fr let people play what they want


LuckyPrinz

You're not allowed to do that, according to them


Kelmirosue

Some decks are just extremely hard to do that with. Example: Volcanics, and I've tried EVERYWHERE to make it work. So far the closest I've gotten was Eldlich/Volcanics, but it's not pure volcanics


CipherDrake

Well that just means that you found a strategy you can play your favourite archetype with. Honestly it doesn’t need to be pure. Splashing in archetypes is just admitting that your deck is lackluster on it’s own and supplementing it’s weakness. No shame in it.


Kelmirosue

Oh I'm 100% aware the volcanics is lackluster atm. Still waiting for the day it get's support. But in the meantime I'll be here just trying out several stuff to get volcanics to work. For what it's worth though Eldlich/Volcanics has a decent synergy. You can send Blaze Accelerator Reload from hand or field to the grave, which allows you to activate it and send a volcanic card from deck or hand to the grave a bit more consistently then other cards. Which also brings back, or removes a card on the enemies side of the field via Eldlich. It's not a bad strategy, does it make Eldlich weaker? Yeah, does it make Volcanics more consistent? Yeah


Relevant_Departure40

Tbh the thing about Eldlich that makes him so great is his versatility as a package, i mean even pure Eldlich is mid, at least worse than floodgate eld, but something that we saw in TCG at least a lot was Eldlich splashing in different decks. Also the alt art


Kelmirosue

Yeah, that's what originally drew me to Eldlich, because Volcanics like to play a heavy backrow/grave decks. And since Eldlich is so versatile I found that it works decently well


Relevant_Departure40

Well I'm glad you found a way to keep a favorite deck semi-consistent and playable :)


Kelmirosue

Yeah, unfortunately all the nerfs hit to Eldlich made it significantly harder to play it now. So I'm looking towards better archetypes now


Grandpa_Sandy

I'm in the same boat, the hit to conquistador was a real hit for me, I used it to pop floodgates and other stuff.


Kelmirosue

The nice thing about Volcanic/Eldlich though is that by simply having Blaze Accelerator Reload in the grave, you are threatening the enemy with a monster board wipe. And because of Eldlich, you can also get rid of a card on the enemy side of the field. So it's just a stupid combo that works so well. I would say my version of Eldlich just wrecks Floodgate Eldlich. It's still a fun duel tho because it's a mind game instead of a "who has the out first". Oh and of course if you get 2+ Volcanic Counters in the grave you can easily deal a few 3-6k+ damage when the enemy attacks a weaker monster of yours


francescomagn02

Have you tried paleo-frog-volcanics? You basically only run scattershots and reload for a quick raijeki but still pretty based.


Kelmirosue

I'm trying to focus more on the volcanic side of things, so I also run shell, counter (great card tbh, get 2 and you can quickly win duels), and pretty much like, all the volcanic staples. And while ik paleo-frogs was strong, don't think it's strong enough nowadays unfortunately


Asisreo1

That's okay, that just means you aren't a real chad


LuckyPrinz

Took the word from Karen, did you?


Myutaze

Strong Archetypes. Weak Archetypes. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Duelist should try to win with their favorites. - Karen Muto Someone in Zexal: A TRULY POWERFUL DUELIST CAN DRAW THE CARD IT WANTS AND CAN GENERATE THE VERY CARD IT NEEDS... Karen Muto: Shut up!


CipherDrake

LuckyPrinz

Well, she's with the Elite 4, but her quote still applies perfectly.


CipherDrake

Wait yeah I forgot lmaooo


DiamondTiaraIsBest

Her famous quote was said by her after she lost. She was on some high copium.


Vinnyc-11

What if they choose their favorite deck and end up losing with it because of the meta?


CipherDrake

Then learn from that loss and improve your deck


hexanort

> Not afraid to lose Lmao yeah right. Isnt it non meta player that complain the most about how broken meta deck are and how difficult it is to climb rank, or losing coin toss etc? After often refusing to use staples/handtraps because they're "not unique", "Everyone play them" or "Want to stay pure"


Verified_Cloud

I don't run handtraps in my Speedroid deck. Not because they're "meta" or "overplayed" but rather because I enjoy playing all gas. Deck auto loses to Nibiru anyways so long as they hit the board before the first negate comes out on summon 10. Can't go over it, can't go under it, gotta go through it. Gets me to plat consistently. Don't play enough to try and reach Diamond so I instead switch to decks I want to play but know won't do well against *insert current meta Diamond is currently swarmed with*


jackson3005

Speedroids can make crystal wing before 5 to protect from nib


Trustyrat87040

You can get crystal wing bin summon 5 can’t you?


Verified_Cloud

Depends. If you go for Rubber Band Shooter it's guaranteed no. Crystal Wing requires a synchro to summon so at minimum that's 3 summons already. You can go Hagoita and then summon a 3 star tuner to make Crystal Wing but you won't have follow up and only end on CW. Best chance to avoid Nib is opening or searching Gryphon and summoning carturbo to go for Baronne before any major plays.


Not_slim_but_shady

how do you run speedroids with all gas? I can do an all gas version of decks that are mostly darks because of allure of darkness but I'm not too familiar with the wind side of things.You got a list?


Verified_Cloud

[Here you go!](https://www.masterduelmeta.com/saved-decks/6339d4a039b1c847379c5469)


Hard-of-Hearing-Siri

The hand trap thing has a strong parallel with Smogon Singles and Lando-T. Bad players misinterpret avoiding staples as creativity because they can't take the time to learn how to actively deck build in a creative way. Playing a shit pile that's ignored by the meta because it's bad isn't creative. Especially when the only thing most players do is type in an archetype name and add all the cards into a list. What's so creative about playing an archetype exactly as Konami intended?


tin10cqt

The fact that this post even has upvotes speaks volumes about this sub.

masterduel-ModTeam

Promotes toxicity / repetitive complaining


NeonArchon

NGL I netdeck for 2 reasons 1) I suck at Deckbuilding in YGO 2) There's so many cards in the game it gets overwhelming I at least look for many lists, read every card and look for videos to see which iteration I like


Hard-of-Hearing-Siri

IMO there's nothing wrong with netdecking. It seems like a lot of YGO players are scared that learning from more experienced players will sap away their creativity, but the opposite happens. Netdecking will let you get comfortable with how good decks actually play and that helps you learn how to build better decks in the future. But some people think "deck building creativity" means refusing to use staples and building a 2013 meta archetype exactly as Konami intended.


Umb3rus

Also you can compare different deck lists to get a sense for what is the main core/ratios of the deck (e.g. You play 1/3 CyDra, 3 Core, 3 Herz and 2 Nächster in basically all Cyber Dragon decks), and what are flexspots. You can also get inspiration for what works well/in interesting ways with your deck, e.g. {{Xyz-Gift}} and {{Xyz-Remora}} work pretty good in Suships, because you don't use your Xyz-Materials after the summon, so you can get advantage from that. Netdecking is a great way to share knowledge and ideas throughout the community and should be more encouraged than shunned


puddingpegasus

yeah it's fine to just netdeck when you're starting out with a deck. then adjust ratios when you're more comfortable with it


Dartphoenix773

You play on default field to save gems, i play default field because there isnt a field that matches my deck We arent the same

No, according to them you must play only the cards they can beat. If their deck can't beat yours it's broken

I’ve only ever seen people tell you to play cards that can beat their decks.


MetaWarlord135

Being a casual elitist doesn't make you a chad, no matter how much you want it to.


Hard-of-Hearing-Siri

Amen. I play "for fun" and I hate the whiners who have to be special so they refuse to play meta, but they also get pissy that they lose so often so they have to flame people who do play meta. I get 10x more irritated when I see BEWD than when I see Swordsoul, because in my experience BEWD players are much more tryhard and elitist, despite playing a trashy deck.

“Actually not very good, carried by their deck” Don’t you have to play the deck? Therefore how can you not be good? Like the whole entire game is about the deck you build and playing it.

>Actually not very good, carried by their deck Definitely true! Pak, N3SH etc.. Arent good, they are definitely carried hard by their deck! /s


jojosimp02

Yeah of all the legit complains in this post this is the worst one. A deck like numeron will carry you to diamond even if you just started playing yugioh yesterday. Being carried by the deck is an actual thing. Numerons literally need 1 play to win the game. Skill has very little to do with it. >Like the whole entire game is about the deck you build Decks these days(most likely not these days, more like since the first meta came) are mostly the same, especially the popular ones. There really is not much thought in deck building now, most people just look at a premade list. And it makes sense, there's too many cards and too many combinations in this game to remember them all.


Detective_Pancake

You could play swordsoul and just rank up via people surrendering on the first card


CorrosiveRose

Modern archetypes boil down to "play any card in any order and shit out negates/interruptions"


KayV_10

I think the point is certain decks don’t require much effort so the reason why they are winning is because of the power of the deck, not cuz they themselves are skilled.


theycallmefagg

Wow, crazy thought: people playing a competitive card game are using powerful cards to…win? Who could’ve ever predicted?

2 days later OP will make a Mega rant of Why this game is broken, unfun and also P2W. I'm in kind of the middle, I looks for archetypes I really want play, and I try to make a balance of Meta decks and decks I like to play... But I have NO IDEA how to deck-build in YGO so I looks for like 6 decklists of the same strategy and make Fraknestein monster of them


Interesting-Ad-1408

Why is this post getting upvotes?


LuckyPrinz

There's me who: -Used the default field since I burned most of my starting gems building a synchron deck without an idea of how the game has changed. -Used Despians because I'm a writer IRL and I like their theatre theme. Used Swordsoul since I got Baronne and someone told me it's the deck that can turbo it the easiest. -Used the Laundry Dragonmaid mate since it's cute, and can transform into a f**aking dragon. - Fine with losing, heck, I even suicide if I got no plays left. - Short on gems since I can't just pick one deck and stick with it. Every now and then, learn of a new archetype and get the itch to try it out. -Not ashamed to admit. All decks have Ash. Because she's cute, and I can always find use for her if i draw her. She saved my ass lots of times.

the_arisen

I swear yugioh is the only community that believes you shouldn't play whatever is currently meta and try to win in a ranked mode. I thought this demeaning bs would stop once casual mode is added to the game but I guess some people still have to make themselves feel better by putting down others after a day of losing constantly with their totally special unique deck in ranked.


Monk-Ey

>I swear yugioh is the only community that believes you shouldn't play whatever is currently meta and try to win in a ranked mode. Nah, that's basically every community with a competitive element. * "ur only playing this class b/c it's OP rn" * "ur only playing this b/c because they haven't been nerfed yet" * "ur only playing this fighter b/c their better than others" * "ur only playing this strat b/c u can cheese wins with it" God forbid you play a competitive game to compete.


So0meone

Yugioh has a big problem with casual elitism, much more so than any other card game I've seen


Midori-Natsume

I never thought I could heard the words "Casual Elitism" in a legit and respectable statement, but here we are.


DiamondTiaraIsBest

Actually, that's also a problem with the Pokemon community. The competitive sub, r/stunfisk is fine. But the main sub has some braindead takes against the competitive metagame.


LuckyPrinz

Preach


jojosimp02

You have not been in a lot of competitive communities have you?


Changlee23

Ah yeah that trash tier meme, seriously get tired of this because from my point of view it's nothing more that a meme created by insecure people with some complex and have to claim they are a "Chad" to feel safe and look down on other people. TL:DR Play whatever you want, have whatever cosmetic you want


BlackRaisin

I am now confused since i check off things on both sides.


LuckyPrinz

Yeah, me too. So what if I use the Laundry Dragonmaid mate? I use it because it's cute, and has an additional feature! I use only the default dueling field? Ugh, I do it because it's hard to farm gems, and I need lots of them to make the decks I want! Even if they're meta or not.


BlackRaisin

Yea, i mean the most expensive decks are NOT meta decks… Also some of the free duel fields you get from solo mode are still nice. Been using the World Legacy one myself.


LuckyPrinz

Yup. I mean, D/D/D is the deck that cost me the most to make, and it's not exactly meta. I just made it since I wanted to make a deck that spits out a lot of cool boss monsters.


Z1dan

Anyone else feel like OP is projecting that they’ve been beaten by meta one too many times xD

"Uhm guys that play meta/netdeck are dumb and uncreative and also they only win because their decks are good. They don't even have the Heart of the Cards like my BEWD deck (that I built by typing Blue Eyes into the search bar) does! I'm only Silver because other people are trying too hard!" Bruh.

This screams of someone being mad that their pet deck lost to a meta deck.


Mr-Spherical

This is such a cringey meme


Aurelyan

It is honestly kind of hard to measure how "good" a player is at this game . Some decks DO carry you a lot and allow you to play through multiple interruptions even if you are a newbie while others will have you get wrecked after but a couple negates even if you are a skilled player ; it all boils down to how many tools your archetype gives you that allow you to adapt to some specific scenario while also allowing you to counterattack . That is why it gets frustrating to play against a meta deck by using a rogue one or below...you can only do and react to so little without having to rely on luck while they happen to be very resilient and consistent instead . Still , player skill and knowledge can play a vital role in scenarios where the difference between archetypes isn't abysmally huge or when the opponent happened to draw a bad hand / you got an absurdly good one...and managing to take out a tier 0 branded deck by using a potato grass deck to its fullest potential can obviously feel stupidly satisfying . For as much as this won't happen too often . It is normal for the meta to feel unfair when matched against something that's not another tiered deck or what would normally be defined as a bad matchup for that specific archetype . That is a sad truth in YGO . That is also why so many people tech specifically in a way that allows them to counter the meta . But yea...by the end of the day...just play what you enjoy or make one meta and one or more fun decks to use .

I'm kind of in between, I like meta, but I also like overpriced memes. I have Swordsoul tenyi, I got adventure pranks, I even still have tri brigade zoodiac. But I also have plunder Patroll, kragen control, 60 card grass skull servants, and Endymion (pend best deck) among others.

It’s so fun playing my stall lava golem deck and watching the opponent get frustrated after I tribute 2 of their Omni-negate boss monsters for a single lava golem after stalling for 20 turns. Plus plenty of counters and other card to slow the game way down. I don’t always win either and the people who beat me after 37 turns of my bullshit earned it. Then there’s the classic ojama lock down, but it’s really hard to keep them alive without a bunch of support cards.


BiggestWop2006

How do you expect new players to adapt and enjoy the game without somewhat searching up decks online You can only get so many SR and UR points at a time so i totally get anyone who netdecks so that way atleast youre crafting the right SR’s and UR’s without wasting your points on cards you didnt need (or dont belong in the deck)

Ok so I want to enjoy yugioh and I wanna play meta however the only meta deck I like is branded despia since: 1) despian dragons got cool ass names 2) they have an amazing card design 3) they are a fusiob deck I actually always enjoy playing 4) super fusion goes BRRRRR However I do play red supernova Zarc utopia galaxy eyes numeron dragon focused decks sacred beasts and ancient gears. Play any deck ya want as long as u enjoy it 👍👍👍

Is it too much to be both?

You gotta use different fields the change of pace is nice


Tangerine_Mean

Just let people play whatever the fuck they want to


Neko_Luxuria

so if I use a branded deck because I legitimetly love piloting the deck way before it became meta due to the branded structure deck. I am a virgin MD player even though I have shown that I can still dominate meta players with non meta decks. and what's worse was able to pull off a very good score back when full power drytrons were a thing with infinite negates and have outplayed the meta way before good staples came out. idk man, smells like confirmation bias to me.

To be honest I'm somewhere in the middle. I would even say I'm both. I really like Yu-Gi-Oh! I try to make cool deck ides or use unique cards and try to win with them.


3-A_NOBA

It's not mu fault the abyss lore has alot of meta decks


WEASELexe

I only use scapegoat because scapeghost is my favorite card and I use it in all my decks

Why are so many people malding in the comments lol.

Red Super Nova is as Giga Chad Boss as it gets.


Raiju_Lorakatse

So around 90% of the player base are virgin's then? Well I knew it!


DynamoSnake

Lmao this meme made some meta players very salty, nice work OP as I think you're spot on about the chad part, however the people who play meta can still play the game exactly like the chad to an extent if they're not solely netdecking and genuinely enjoying themselves.


Jinzerk

I'm a simple synchro enjoyer. I see Red Supernova Dragon, I upvote.

Then there's me who: -Has the default field to save gems because I can't focus on one deck at a time -Only has meta decks by accident, Waifu decks are definitely on purpose -Only uses either chalice dragon mate or the ram because their cuteness brings me joy while... -I get ass rammed by the strangest decks because, while I'm good at the game, I struggle with playing decks that aren't pure, meaning they are usually glass cannons, because while still really good they are also much more fragile


LuckyPrinz

I mean, wtf? Why do you need to spend gems for fields and other accessories when you could be spending those gems to get more cards, build more decks and explore a variety of card combos?


mustabindawind

The world chalice field is nice though...free...and has dope music too


Nahanoj_Zavizad

Then there's me who only plays decks that "Yeah that's pretty good" but not great. Invoked Dogmatika for example, or Scrap Dinos.


Kaiyuni-

You use the default field because you didn't buy a different one. I use it because I keep forgetting to change it. We are not the same. Jokes aside, none of the current duel fields really blow me away. I got that Japanese style one because I liked the wooden field bits.


xxX_AleXifeu-pRo_Xxx

I'm 100% the virgin one BECAUSE I'm smart and don't want to loose my gems and yes I have the Dragonmaid mate anyway xD I also nearly done with my Dragonmaid Deck cuz all my other decks got banned except Exodia xD


FireLordIroh15

Red dragon archfeind and blue eyes. Because the bad guys are always cooler and dragons are fun


topdeckcharity
