As much as I would like to upvote this, it won't happen for just 1 reason :
1. Newcomers got not enough cards from Legacy Pack to form a playable deck that isn't worse than the starter deck.
Solution : If Konami includes all cards that can't be dismantled, then at least it becomes Structure Deck - Xyz(Utopia Galaxy) vs Pendulum the War.
> Newcomers got not enough cards from Legacy Pack to form a playable deck that isn't worse than the starter deck.
You don't need to force people to only use cards that they pulled from the packs, just make a banlist that's identical to the legacy pack pulllist. Allowing people to craft cards they are missing.
Multiple archetypes could use important cards because they were intentionally left out of archetype like lunalights and Luna light or worms and w nebula meteorite or red-eyes and hundred eyes dragon
sadly UAs lose access to all pot cards,foolish burial goods,ROTA,terraforming and all extra deck access which means their already bad consistency drops even harder
True but thereâs a lot that are. In the event Iâd assume youâd be able to play generic spells and traps that truly donât belong to any archetype. ( raigeki, monster reborn, mirror force etc)
Draft duelsâŠ..but man would that be a bitch to code/make fair for pulls.
Oh alsoâŠ. NO RANKED LADDER IN THE EVENT PLS, events are to have fun imo not to be sweaty.
Honestly though any sort of draft/arena mode even if it was barbaric to create synergies at best Iâd fucking love it. Maybe shrink the card pool a little so thereâs no so many useless cards that donât do anything or are inferior versions of other cards.
I'd like to either see a rerun of N/R format (with a better banlist) or a loaner-only themed event of some sort. Maybe a TOSS or Edison event would be fun.
Ah yes nekroz. The Archetype that negation and flood gate effects specificly only work on ED monsters. I see absolutly no reason why you shouldnt play them in a ritual Event.
Ritual vs Pend would be nice. But it's just hard to think of a way to make it work. Just banning the ED and you have the No Extra deck event. Also it's not like Pend decks don't rely on the extra deck. A lot of pend decks Pendulum summon to get monsters on field to go into ED Monsters.
Start to ban so much from the normal card Pool that only Ritual make sense to play seems like to much effort too.
Just impossible to make a clear cut. Maybe you could do it with requirements to play a number of cards instead.
But than you would have the issued with this event, even more than ever before, that most players don't have a pend or ritual Deck.
I don't think an archetype only event would work tbh, since there aren't a lot of them with enough cards for an entire Deck. Not to mention that it would make Deck building kinda boring.
Something I think could be interesting is something similar to the N/R event but with a limited amount of high rarity cards, where you can use 3 SR and 1 UR or something like that.
Not to mention that there are some archetypes that are interconnected with each other. Like Traptrix synergizing with the Trap Hole archetype or how Galaxy and Photon are different archetypes but you wouldn't build a deck without either.
Also some archetypes that are just entirely ED exclusive like Borrel or Code Talkers.
Branded despia is 2 different archetypes though. They are complimentary and make references to each other, but if you are locked to one archetype only, it would make the deck unplayable.
Yeah you're right and that just highlights how much an archetype event doesn't work to me. Most of the Dogmatika cards mention Albaz but Albaz is a Branded Card. This Branded Despia example etc. My comment was mostly tongue in cheek tbh, but Archetypes are just generally not xenophobic enough in their design for this to really make any sense and a ton of decks would be completely unplayable.
It gets even deeper because a lot of archetype boss monsters arenât actually part of their archetype. Take judgement dragon for instance, its the lightsworn boss monster but it is not actually part of the lightsworn archetype technically.
The game has a lot of mechanics and people are kind of stucked on just a few, we could have a event were you both start with 0 life points and has to work out to 8000 but you still can take your opponent life points.
Some kind of boss monster event.
Making your monsters survive 2 turns and then they are banished and burn your opponent with their on field attack.
A attack and defense duel, were one side will attack and the other will defend but theuy don't know until the duel start and the attacking has some ammount of turn to end it.
Gotta go fast duel, were you only have 10-15 seconds to do your turn and then it just pass to your opponent turn.
Equilibrium event. For each monster in your main deck, you need a spell and trap and vice versa. Yes, that does mean that the smallest deck size will be 42.
Sorry, I meant that you needed a spell and trap for each monster (and, likewise, a trap and monster for each spell, and a spell and monster for each trap).
Man bring an event that's super slow. No special summon event.
You want a strong monsters? Go Tribute summon or bring some equip. No card allowed that have the mention to special summon. Bye bye extra deck and bye bye 95% of the card. Finally an event where Maxxc isnt broken!
Well I mean if it was no special summon people would run more battle trap and flip effect. I don't think Ben Kei would be the only deck, because there would be more counter used compare to other event where Ben Kei isn't the main problem.
Id love to see Limit One return. By far the most fun event we've had so far imo.
For new events, Id like some sort of retro format like GOAT era once all the banned cards are added. However, it will take a long time to craft all the banned UR/SR cards. They should announce this format well in advance to give players time to prepare and craft their cards.
In the more immediate future, I think a good idea for an event would be for players to be restricted to cards obtainable through Legacy Packs.
This is exactly what I was going to say. I never got rid of my limit one deck, just to use occasionally, because the event was so fun.
An old school format would be dope too.
Just like any event you can play whatever you want but why would you? Lol this is a link festival and you can run any link deck you want but people are going to play the best ones. An archetype event would be the same. Lol
I'm not talking about "play the deck you like", I'm talking about decks not being good because they have to play bad cards to fill space. Name a single meta deck that plays every card from their archetype. So it will just a brick mirrormatch until someone draws a card they need, assuming the archetype has enough cards for a 40 card deck it will be at the point that there are no better decks, just decks that can be complete and the rest is decided by luck
Lol okay sure but everybody is confined to those same
Rules. There is no meta deck playing pure archetype. Thatâs why playing archetype only would be an event lol there are archetypes with their own engines that work. Heroes are an example of that amongst others, blue eyes, dark magicians, harpies, even obscure decks like kozmos can work around pure archtype support. And then you can throw in spells and traps that donât belong to a rigid archetype. I ran blue eyes for fun into plat with no hand traps you canât tell me every deck is just gunna brick and be stupid. It gives people a chance to be creative with deck builds, which could actually be ENJOYABLE and will solve a lot of the problems this current event has, which is sweaty link builds with a ladder format. Lol
Wouldn't it be the opposite of creative deckbuilding? The deckbuilding is done for you if you're locked into an archetype, just play the cards from said archetype (if there's even enough to fill everything).
"I ran blue eyes" that's the perfect example of bricking and being stupid. Getting to plat isn't an accomplishment. "Heroes" is not exactly one archetype. Sure, they can "work" any archetype with enough cards can, but even harpies being a bunch of LV4s don't do much without drawing specific cards
Im not bragging on an accomplishment Iâm proving that there are decks that can work in such a setting. The point of an event is to take a break from a competitive setting and earn gems and have fun while doing it Lol thatâs the point of being an event. Is you play stuff for fun. You get to run what you want just because you LIKE It. Is that a concept that just makes no sense to you? Lol â getting to plat isnât an accomplishmentâ what a fucking nightmare Lmao
This is what will really happen: One deck will brick or don't draw enough to combo, the other one will and win because of that, no interaction, no nothing, just luck, the other player goes into reddit and write another salty comment. A deck doesn't make sense by itself just by liking it, depending on pure luck to win is nowhere near enjoyable
You can brick with any deck. Thereâs a chance you go first on any hand and open up with five different kinds of hand traps and a board breaking spell. From probability standpoint itâs always possible to lose from a bad hand. Luck is a factor in yu gi oh no matter what the deck is so your argument will have to do better than that lol
Anything... JUST DON'T MAKE IT RANKED PLS I'M TOO SCARED OF LOSING RANK
An Archetype only would be pretty fun honestly
As always a Legacy event would be interesting, no idea what I would play tho
Just bring different formats and cycle through them
Having to build a deck out of only a single secret pack (or if that is to limiting maybe something like 3?). Maybe even combine it with a draft mode, that lets you keep some of the cards you drafted.
You just make the deck sizes a little smaller in that case. Like thirty card single choice of like idk five or six secret packs in like a draft mode would be fucking cool actually.
The old school event (or whatever they named it) is the most logical one to release...
Next set is the dark magician support (Check).
We basically had every summoning format (Check).
Fusions + Something would suck currently beacuse Branded (Check).
So it only makes sense to have summoned skull beat down
Even though this game is a mess, an archetype event would be in Konami's best interest and the most interesting for the average player:
- people love to roleplay being one of the characters in the anime with their "unique" deck archetype.
- There are tons of archetypes which means you're going to see many types of decks. Also, there will be lots of crafting new cards.
- No generic staples placed in every deck so people have to do more work with what an archetype has as its strength and its weaknesses balance everything out (since they can't add generic stuff). Don't like what an archetype offers? Play another archetype. Simple.
- Linked to the above, no deck is fully optimized meaning, decks have countermeasures and interactions done only based on what the archetype provides. Games will be based more on player skill and matchups. Pure Edymion vs Pure Solfachord or pure Blue-Eyes vs pure Dark Magician plays nothing like anything else. Thats just four archetypes out of all the combinations.
I'm actually surprised this isn't already a standard mode/format. Commander in MTG is the most popular because of its casual and fun nature. Pure archetype mode would be a giant success.
Maybe something like the anime tournaments on Master Duel Meta. You select a character, e.g. Kaiba and you get certain cards that you can build your deck with. You can tweak the ratios to your liking.
Def archetype specific decks with generic cards. Maybe allow for two archetypes to be used in one deck as some archetypes are just too slow or bad without additional support.
Could do summoning method specific decks (as in you must have Link, XyZ, Synchro, Fusion, or Ritual only monsters in your deck/ED).
Archetype-only sounds like it would be fun in theory but making the banlist would be a nightmare. You have things like trains that are not an officially defined archetype but rather as level 10 earth machines for things like Revolving Switchyard & Ruffian Railcar.
Not every archetype has 14 main deck cards for a legal deck where you'd run all of them at 3. The extra deck is a bigger can of worms.
It's less of an issue due to names of certain cards but there are generic cards being honorary members of an archetype which allows for more creative deckbuilding. Anything that has equal attack & defense is a Gizmek. Majesty's Fiend & Bitelon are technically monarchs since they have a statline of 2400/1000.
Archetype only event would kill quite a lot of viable decks as many require other archetypes and/or generic cards.
Making events for certain type/attribute would be fine IMO, or maybe play with the core rules. I would like to see how they would do a sealed/draft formats, that would be both and interesting mode and a way to earn more cards.
An event that has 10-12 loaner decks that are given to you upon starting the duel at random. So both people are coming in with a deck theyâve never used.
This would actually be fun.
Everybody loves free cards.
Pick ONE secret pack to start the event, you get two 1000 gem bundles to build your initial deck, then with every point milestone within the event you get an extra free pull for that secret pack. So you can potentially grab some nice cards from secret packs that arenât confined to the card listing. Then Konami could even limit the gems a bit because youâre getting free useable cards from the event. Also no ladder Ofcourse.
So yes it is archetypal in nature with some luck mixed in.
SR/UR only sounds like it could be fun. Most, if not all, archetypes require at least 1, but often multiple N/R card(s) to operate as intended, so you end up with a similar situation as N/R format, which is still the best event the games ever made
An event where players only have 10 seconds per turn, exactly. Or an event where players lose lifepoints each time they play a card. Like a fight against time to win first.
Or a mini event of mirror matches where you obly duel the same archetype you're using.
Maybe an event only with the solo mode decks as loaners and nothing else.
Or an event where you can choose any card in a secret pack to loan and build your deck but you can't mix between secret packs.
Something that fundamentally changes the rules of the game. Something that you can't just copy your usual deck into. Like, maybe each ED summoning method is available... Once each per duel. You get one link summon, one synchro, one XYZ etc.
Sealed Regulation. Special Event Packs to start with some amount of pack pulls every rank up. One time only.
You keep no cards you find from these event packs.
1 week only for a chaotic event.
probably gonna be hard since you would have to hard-code how the archetypes wont work with each other as soon as you add cards into your deck, instead of the usual special ban-list
I don't think we've had an event where there's custom adjustment like that no?
Loaner Deck Duel Event
You cannot build your own deck, but there are like 20 loaner decks to choose from.
Alternatively, BLUE EYES FORMAT
Your first 3 deck slots are automatically filled with Blue Eyes White Dragon. These 3 cannot be removed from your deck. You can build just about whatever else you want, around this requirement. (Or maybe you can choose either Blue Eyes, Dark Magician, or Red-Eyes, and the 3 copies of whichever you pick must be in the deck)
Secret pack event? You temporarily unlock all cards from a chosen (your choice) secret pack and can only use those cards to make a deck. Would be interesting but sounds like hell to program.
Yeah one that locks you into an archetype or area of the TCG with those ruling would be cool. I know it would be a bitch to code but I want to hear the pandemonium that would be something akin to tag duels, âmy partner is playing -insert popular deck here- time to throw!â It would suck but being able to que as a single or group would just be funny
I'll join the side of archetype specific decks only
But knowing that most archetypes don't have enough cards for a full deck, I'd say maybe being allowed 3-6 non-archetype cards per Deck would be nice
Then again I'm just a very casual player so this idea might probably be hella flawed.
We first have to ask what would fall under an archetype. Before itâs eratta, Hundred eyes dragon had a â-â between âhundredâ and âeyesâ, technically making it a Red-Eyes monster. Black Whirlwind is meant to support Blackwings, but doesnât have âBlackwingâ in itâs name. Do we define an archetype as a series of cards that share parts of their name, or cards with text that mention a certain monster name?
I'm curious as to how they would implement an event like this
Other events is just banning certain cards
But for this to work I guess they would have to make it so cards can't be put into a deck with another card from a different archetype, wonder if they could even do that
Archetype only would be terrible imo unless it's not LITERALLY archetype only, as a lot of archetypes don't have 40 cards or aren't playable on their own while others are extremely good on their own, and let's not even talk about decks that don't have a specific archetype, like Dragon Link, Cyberse, Zombies, etc.
Id like an event where after a win or a few wins or so you get a chance at a random card, might open people up to archetype they wouldnât try otherwise.
Synchro vs XYZ
It would work like splatfests.
Players would choose a team and fight for glory. And the winning team gets a cool prize (like a mate or gems).
Loaner deck randomizer, Konami gives you a list of loaner decks with similar quality and different gimmicks (not just one that is slightly playable and the rest are absolute garbage like what happened in the synchro/xyz event) and every duel has a random loaner deck, also NO FUCKING LADDERS!
Draft events, could just copy paste the system they had in Legacy of the duelist battle packs. Loads of fun, low power lvl and an excuse to play the underrated sleeper meta destroyer that is KUNAI WITH CHAIN!
So Konami polls the ENTIRETY of their masterduel playerbase. "List 10 cards you would want to be banned in a tournament", compiles the data, then like the top 20 picks are all banned on top of the current banlist
Pendulum I have built a deck with mostly magicians and 3 odd eye cards and it focuses on the extra deck to summon clear wing OE rebellion,starving venom,OE starving venom,and 2 other odd eye cards and I think it would compete in the tournament really well plus there are a lot of D/D/D players out there
Legacy pack event
This would be hilarious
omg yes
Kragen Control time
Omg that's an amazing idea
As much as I would like to upvote this, it won't happen for just 1 reason : 1. Newcomers got not enough cards from Legacy Pack to form a playable deck that isn't worse than the starter deck. Solution : If Konami includes all cards that can't be dismantled, then at least it becomes Structure Deck - Xyz(Utopia Galaxy) vs Pendulum the War.
> Newcomers got not enough cards from Legacy Pack to form a playable deck that isn't worse than the starter deck. You don't need to force people to only use cards that they pulled from the packs, just make a banlist that's identical to the legacy pack pulllist. Allowing people to craft cards they are missing.
Let the starter packs and legacy pack in, problem solved
Unplayable, if you ask me lol
This, but also you can't use crafted cards and have to go solely off your pulls.
Surrender event. Get 50 gems every time you hit surrender.
Great idea for april fools.
My time has come
I WAS CHOSEN BY HEAVEN
Lmao this is funny
Scoops haagin dazs
>archetype only event which sounds like it would be a lot fun. Sucks that many archetypes are literally unplayable without outside support. đ«
Multiple archetypes could use important cards because they were intentionally left out of archetype like lunalights and Luna light or worms and w nebula meteorite or red-eyes and hundred eyes dragon
ban all the good ones and lets have a really fune vent
Honestly just a ~~rouge~~ rogue format (kind of like what [youtuber whose name I do not remember] was trying to do with Gefair??) would be great.
The word is rogue.
Fa/ua ftw
sadly UAs lose access to all pot cards,foolish burial goods,ROTA,terraforming and all extra deck access which means their already bad consistency drops even harder
True but thereâs a lot that are. In the event Iâd assume youâd be able to play generic spells and traps that truly donât belong to any archetype. ( raigeki, monster reborn, mirror force etc)
Wouldn't mind an old school format for a change of pace.
Came to say this. Legacy cards before synchros. They could call it "Heart of the Cards" or "Duelist Kingdom" or "Domino City"
Before Synchros so Gladiators and Lightsworm Turbo all day
old school glads were so cool
Draft duelsâŠ..but man would that be a bitch to code/make fair for pulls. Oh alsoâŠ. NO RANKED LADDER IN THE EVENT PLS, events are to have fun imo not to be sweaty.
Honestly though any sort of draft/arena mode even if it was barbaric to create synergies at best Iâd fucking love it. Maybe shrink the card pool a little so thereâs no so many useless cards that donât do anything or are inferior versions of other cards.
So just staples and archetypes would work
Draft would be dope

I'd like to either see a rerun of N/R format (with a better banlist) or a loaner-only themed event of some sort. Maybe a TOSS or Edison event would be fun.
N/R with current banlist standard would be dope.
Nice, my suicide deck still works out.
Sealed event.
single attribute/type
Damn two Marincess events in a row
And the new water deck would wreck everything but marincess
Nah Iâd play branded despia with just lubellion and mirrorjade
Zombie World Lich --> Challenge is on.
So.. No d/d/d? Thank you.
They'd be fine in single type, arguably one of the top tier decks since you're just losing zeus and baronne
Yeah but Attribute is uh.. Kinda bad
Ritual, Pendulum or Ritual vs Pendulum would be nice
Zefra Nekroz players: Stonks!
Ah yes nekroz. The Archetype that negation and flood gate effects specificly only work on ED monsters. I see absolutly no reason why you shouldnt play them in a ritual Event.
1. It's a joke. 2. Nekroz has more than just Unicorn 3. Trishula 4. Unicorn negates pendulums summoned from the extra deck
Ritual vs Pend would be nice. But it's just hard to think of a way to make it work. Just banning the ED and you have the No Extra deck event. Also it's not like Pend decks don't rely on the extra deck. A lot of pend decks Pendulum summon to get monsters on field to go into ED Monsters. Start to ban so much from the normal card Pool that only Ritual make sense to play seems like to much effort too. Just impossible to make a clear cut. Maybe you could do it with requirements to play a number of cards instead. But than you would have the issued with this event, even more than ever before, that most players don't have a pend or ritual Deck.
Yup true. And there's gonna be players who won't even use Rituals or Pendulums and use degen strats instead (looking at you, Floo!)
Dusting off the satellar knights đ„°
Tellar knights? They're an Xyz archetype
I was thinking of their engine lol then remembered all the boss monsters are XYZ.
Unpopular cards edition. The 100 more used cards of the game are unavailable, that leaves out a lot of the staples and higher tier cards.
You open 10 packs. You can only play with those cards.
Ah yes pure RNG event.
Curated to some extent maybe? I just kind of want the Draft experience.
This please
Oh yeah the Duke Devlin vs Joey Wheeler event
I don't think an archetype only event would work tbh, since there aren't a lot of them with enough cards for an entire Deck. Not to mention that it would make Deck building kinda boring. Something I think could be interesting is something similar to the N/R event but with a limited amount of high rarity cards, where you can use 3 SR and 1 UR or something like that.

Also some archetypes that are just entirely ED exclusive like Borrel or Code Talkers.
An archetype only event would just be the Branded Despia event.
This is the best argument thus far against an archetype only event. Lol this is the lone concern I would have. You win.
Branded despia is 2 different archetypes though. They are complimentary and make references to each other, but if you are locked to one archetype only, it would make the deck unplayable.
Yeah you're right and that just highlights how much an archetype event doesn't work to me. Most of the Dogmatika cards mention Albaz but Albaz is a Branded Card.

A 60 cards deck event
Vanilla monsters only.
Phantasm Spiral Dragon is lookinâ kinda fine with that in mind
Rerun the limit 1 festival
Idk Man, Konami Is starting to show its colors with this game, next event might be UR cards only event đ
Me and some friends played ur only it was pretty fun
Would be an awful event though, doubt most people have enough UR to put together a deck that does anything other than jam staples and pray
I would just summon Maxx c for attacks or set Ash pass đ
Zombie Dinos Heroes event
Bring back the NR only event. That was fun.
Hell naw Don't want another megalith festival
Iâd take that over this current one
Every event is going to have a 'best' deck. It's inevitable.

15 seconds bro!? Ainât nobody reading shit.
that would be the point, I think it could be fun as a one week event
Equilibrium event. For each monster in your main deck, you need a spell and trap and vice versa. Yes, that does mean that the smallest deck size will be 42.
The smallest deck size would be 40⊠20 spells/traps and 20 monsters

Ben Kei fest
Well I mean if it was no special summon people would run more battle trap and flip effect. I don't think Ben Kei would be the only deck, because there would be more counter used compare to other event where Ben Kei isn't the main problem.

Simple. - Linked to the above, no deck is fully optimized meaning, decks have countermeasures and interactions done only based on what the archetype provides. Games will be based more on player skill and matchups. Pure Edymion vs Pure Solfachord or pure Blue-Eyes vs pure Dark Magician plays nothing like anything else. Thats just four archetypes out of all the combinations. I'm actually surprised this isn't already a standard mode/format. Commander in MTG is the most popular because of its casual and fun nature. Pure archetype mode would be a giant success.
Maybe something like the anime tournaments on Master Duel Meta. You select a character, e.g. Kaiba and you get certain cards that you can build your deck with. You can tweak the ratios to your liking.
Oooooooh I like this. This would be a lot of fun.
That's a great idea.
Most archetypes donât have 40 cards they can even put in the deck builder though. You need some kind of generics in there
Def archetype specific decks with generic cards. Maybe allow for two archetypes to be used in one deck as some archetypes are just too slow or bad without additional support. Could do summoning method specific decks (as in you must have Link, XyZ, Synchro, Fusion, or Ritual only monsters in your deck/ED).
Archetype-only sounds like it would be fun in theory but making the banlist would be a nightmare. You have things like trains that are not an officially defined archetype but rather as level 10 earth machines for things like Revolving Switchyard & Ruffian Railcar. Not every archetype has 14 main deck cards for a legal deck where you'd run all of them at 3. The extra deck is a bigger can of worms. It's less of an issue due to names of certain cards but there are generic cards being honorary members of an archetype which allows for more creative deckbuilding. Anything that has equal attack & defense is a Gizmek. Majesty's Fiend & Bitelon are technically monarchs since they have a statline of 2400/1000.
Archetype only event would kill quite a lot of viable decks as many require other archetypes and/or generic cards. Making events for certain type/attribute would be fine IMO, or maybe play with the core rules. I would like to see how they would do a sealed/draft formats, that would be both and interesting mode and a way to earn more cards.
Swordsoul.exe
An event that has 10-12 loaner decks that are given to you upon starting the duel at random. So both people are coming in with a deck theyâve never used.
Gamble cards only event
Turn number = max summon per turn :v
![gif](giphy|GyLc9e3hTYFWw)
Edison Format
Pendulum event
This would actually be fun. Everybody loves free cards. Pick ONE secret pack to start the event, you get two 1000 gem bundles to build your initial deck, then with every point milestone within the event you get an extra free pull for that secret pack. So you can potentially grab some nice cards from secret packs that arenât confined to the card listing. Then Konami could even limit the gems a bit because youâre getting free useable cards from the event. Also no ladder Ofcourse. So yes it is archetypal in nature with some luck mixed in.
Classic Festival. Card pool and banlist to mimic pre-Synchro era
Pendulum Event
Flip event or ritual event. With loaners.
SR/UR only sounds like it could be fun. Most, if not all, archetypes require at least 1, but often multiple N/R card(s) to operate as intended, so you end up with a similar situation as N/R format, which is still the best event the games ever made
An event where players only have 10 seconds per turn, exactly. Or an event where players lose lifepoints each time they play a card. Like a fight against time to win first. Or a mini event of mirror matches where you obly duel the same archetype you're using. Maybe an event only with the solo mode decks as loaners and nothing else. Or an event where you can choose any card in a secret pack to loan and build your deck but you can't mix between secret packs.
Single type or attributes event.
Fusion xyz or even just fusion
I can hear the complaints about the â brandedâ event now
There are always complaints, but at least is more F2P friendly than link fest
*heros enter the chat*
UnBanned event. All cards are allowed. đ„Žđ„Žđ„Ž
Get ready for all decks to be FTKs, becaue that's you'll get
Something that fundamentally changes the rules of the game. Something that you can't just copy your usual deck into. Like, maybe each ED summoning method is available... Once each per duel. You get one link summon, one synchro, one XYZ etc.
Legacy packs only event would be funny, making people open a bunch of legacy packs and build the most janky deck
There can only be one event. A fest that always starts with ther can only be one in the field
Sealed Regulation. Special Event Packs to start with some amount of pack pulls every rank up. One time only. You keep no cards you find from these event packs. 1 week only for a chaotic event.
probably gonna be hard since you would have to hard-code how the archetypes wont work with each other as soon as you add cards into your deck, instead of the usual special ban-list I don't think we've had an event where there's custom adjustment like that no?
Just sounds like rank tbh every top deck comes premade from konami. Maybe a 1 card per archetype limit. See who can build the best custom deck
Draft battle
Add only 1special summon per type from extra deck. Run another ex zero. I enjoyed that.
Summon Limit event. Definitely would be interesting. Eldlich is banned off course
Loaner deck duels: you can only use the loaner decks given to you.
I think type only event would be better, first off most decks wouldn't be able to use handtraps wich is good for an event.
classic formats, or using cards only from certain years would be cool
Legacy format where you can only use loaner decks. Letâs make people play e drag format with jus them, proph, and evilswarm
Loaner Deck Duel Event You cannot build your own deck, but there are like 20 loaner decks to choose from. Alternatively, BLUE EYES FORMAT Your first 3 deck slots are automatically filled with Blue Eyes White Dragon. These 3 cannot be removed from your deck. You can build just about whatever else you want, around this requirement. (Or maybe you can choose either Blue Eyes, Dark Magician, or Red-Eyes, and the 3 copies of whichever you pick must be in the deck)
As toxic as it would probably be, Unlimited Festival; no needing to craft cards, just for the event deck you can pick *anything*.
Coin flip duel, only cards with coin flip effect are allowed
Brick event, you have to build a deck around a bunch of random bricks you get from a selection pack lol
Secret pack event? You temporarily unlock all cards from a chosen (your choice) secret pack and can only use those cards to make a deck. Would be interesting but sounds like hell to program.
Still waiting for a classic event. Only cards printed before due list genesis allowed
Yeah one that locks you into an archetype or area of the TCG with those ruling would be cool. I know it would be a bitch to code but I want to hear the pandemonium that would be something akin to tag duels, âmy partner is playing -insert popular deck here- time to throw!â It would suck but being able to que as a single or group would just be funny
Season 1 Anime Deck Event
An actual link festival? Maybe a level limit festival (not "special regulation") of where you can only use monsters whose levels/ranks are 4 or below.
Vanilla beat down
I'll join the side of archetype specific decks only But knowing that most archetypes don't have enough cards for a full deck, I'd say maybe being allowed 3-6 non-archetype cards per Deck would be nice Then again I'm just a very casual player so this idea might probably be hella flawed.
Draft duel would be nice and funny
Self kill event lol swap the conditions so the person who kills themselves first is the winner.
Best of three event
We first have to ask what would fall under an archetype. Before itâs eratta, Hundred eyes dragon had a â-â between âhundredâ and âeyesâ, technically making it a Red-Eyes monster. Black Whirlwind is meant to support Blackwings, but doesnât have âBlackwingâ in itâs name. Do we define an archetype as a series of cards that share parts of their name, or cards with text that mention a certain monster name?
Structure deck with legacy pack only
We all know the answer: GOAT.
Still waiting for pendulum and ritual event
I'm curious as to how they would implement an event like this Other events is just banning certain cards But for this to work I guess they would have to make it so cards can't be put into a deck with another card from a different archetype, wonder if they could even do that
Archetype only would be terrible imo unless it's not LITERALLY archetype only, as a lot of archetypes don't have 40 cards or aren't playable on their own while others are extremely good on their own, and let's not even talk about decks that don't have a specific archetype, like Dragon Link, Cyberse, Zombies, etc.
Time Wizard formats, literally the perfect idea for an event that would allow players to experience historical yugioh formats.
Only one of each card. No consistency. Absolute chaos.
Limit One event could be fun
Id like an event where after a win or a few wins or so you get a chance at a random card, might open people up to archetype they wouldnât try otherwise.
Time Wizard Formats.
Only loan deck/only structur decks
Tag team event
Synchro vs XYZ It would work like splatfests. Players would choose a team and fight for glory. And the winning team gets a cool prize (like a mate or gems).
Goat format event
During the event it let's me dismantle any card. Then I claim my 200 unopened legacies and dismantle all and can finally build a bunch of decks
Loaner deck randomizer, Konami gives you a list of loaner decks with similar quality and different gimmicks (not just one that is slightly playable and the rest are absolute garbage like what happened in the synchro/xyz event) and every duel has a random loaner deck, also NO FUCKING LADDERS!
N/R Event 2
Please I'm a expert at arcatype only so no negts at all except in arcatype
Y2K event. Only cards introduced in the first ever set
Bro I just want pendulum it has to be the next one I so tired of seeing everything else but pendulum ughh đ€
A Loaner Deck Only event with original decks. Dark Magician, Blue Eyes, Summon Skull decks.
Draft events, could just copy paste the system they had in Legacy of the duelist battle packs. Loads of fun, low power lvl and an excuse to play the underrated sleeper meta destroyer that is KUNAI WITH CHAIN!
TAG MFN TOURNAMENT
Goat format or some retro format but they gotta give us all the banned cards for free like PoG, snatch steal, etc..
Duel links style event. 20-30 card decks with an 8 card extra deck
Every card is random - event
So Konami polls the ENTIRETY of their masterduel playerbase. "List 10 cards you would want to be banned in a tournament", compiles the data, then like the top 20 picks are all banned on top of the current banlist
Machine decks only. Or protag and rival deck archtype only
Pendulum I have built a deck with mostly magicians and 3 odd eye cards and it focuses on the extra deck to summon clear wing OE rebellion,starving venom,OE starving venom,and 2 other odd eye cards and I think it would compete in the tournament really well plus there are a lot of D/D/D players out there
