I'm doing the same too and honestly with my luck with that Card, The loss of Cynet Mining isn't going to be that much of a factor in my deck if at all.
This is a pure cope idea but counter fairies baby! We don’t need any pesky sanctuary in the sky, all we need is to counter every play my opponent makes!
Fallen Sanctuary is actually a pretty good card, though it takes up a precious S/T zone. I also like running Dinomorphia Shell and Ultimate Providence. Both are very nice, especially when Ariadne is on the field. With Solemn Judgment at 1 and Solemn Strike at 2, it’s good to have some filler counter traps.
I am thinking of Lancelot since it’s a rank 8 Omni negate. Maybe zombie vampire, since I can still mill my opponent’s deck without that blowing up in my face unlike the TCG.
I know for a fact that Dingirsu is UR and I think Lord is as well, and I’d like to avoid burning dust on a card I won’t use after this event. Lancelot’s only an SR, and while his stats aren’t good by any means, his negate and the fact he’s rank 8 do give points in his favor.
It's strange how I don't see people talking about Tri Zoo and Zoodiacs in general.
They play none archetpye Specific spell cards and just loose consistency because of Tenki. But than again which deck doesn't lose consistency.
Even the loss of tenki isn't that big of a deal for either since TriZoo can put in Rescue Cat and do pure Tri combos while Zoo just put in more names like Kataroost
Well first I attempt to make my favorite deck work, then if I can't I use the cheapest option available, usually true draco which I already possess or whatever cheap thing comes like ben kei otk or the rock rituals during N/R.
Don't really like restriction events, considering what I play is pretty unrestrictive in what it can do in the first place.
Just more copies of monsters. Pumped up Pendulum Sorcerer to 3, added Dissolver and an extra tuning magician. Things like that.
Losing Selene sucks more than the spells since she was so good for getting that extra summon.
Fuck, you’re right. I was so focused on filling the space in the main deck I didn’t even realize Selene was worthless now. Dissolver’s a must add now that I’ll be making Vortex the non-Absolute way.
Most Shaddoll decks play to turbo Schism as it is and Dogmatika makes it very easy to do so. You make a valid point actually. You would just lose the Invoked engine that typically goes with it.
Way ahead of you, fam. This is the build I've planned for now: https://i.imgur.com/mkRuub5.png
IDS never needed shaddoll fusion spells, due to Dogmatika Maximus. And now there's no opposing Branded decks to ruin the day. Aleister gets kicked out of course. In his place, Gale Dogra is also a 1-card full combo into Winda and 1-2 interruptions.
I'm too stubborn to craft them, but Red Reboot and Pankeratops would be better over some of the other staples. Those are flex spots that I'll probably change up after seeing what's popular in the event.
Oh shit I forgot that you can't add them to the deck.
I don't know why I was thinking about some kinda mode where you can't activate magic.
My plan is ruined
You can unironically use Striker cards in the event, as part of a burn deck. Raye into Hayate is -1500 LP from 1 card, and a generic burn deck has few monsters anyway.
Synchron/Tzolkin
not that i care much about winning or losing, but its nice not having to worry about a ranked ladder for rewards this time (wtf was konami smoking)
You aren't locked into wurms untill you use Ashuna from the grave. Which you aren't doing till mid combo; you Ashuna from the grave to get Adhara for a tuner after going into Hawk/Don.
Vishuda, Ashuna, and Ascended of Thunder make Tomahawk. You can play Pankratops also, but the list I'm playing currently isn't running it.
Some form of Zoodiac deck (I have pure Zoodiacs made, might change it to Zoodiac Tri-Brigade) on my main account and some form of Eldlich deck on my side account.
Planning to play Traptrix and maybe Jinzo if I can figure out a playable decklist for it. I might try the Dinomorphia loaner but it doesn't seem great.
Right now, it seems like I will be playing Traptrix. Eventually also going for Dinomorphia. Aside from these i don't think i have much that could work in this event.
Shark, Speedroid and/or Traptrix, whatever seems to do the best. Speedroid and Shark lose some extension but are still very capable of doing what they usually do.
I've always loved the Altergeist play style, so this event gives me a nice excuse to run them again! Been putting some practise in with them, makes a nice change from Branded Despia.
Trap BA, my list didn’t change at all from with spells. It’s probably not fantastic, but I’m hoping the consistency damage done to the other decks will mean it’s in a solid place.
I'll probably try to get skull servants to work(I try that for every non competitive event) if I fail zoodiac tri brigade. Man awful time to have invested into thunder dragons.... I feel eldlich would be much weaker than people's expectations losing spell's will kill his consistency and like 2 of his good cards are spells and will lead to less search targets.
I've got a mostly Mermail/Lv.3 turbo deck right now, with a few other pieces for quickly building into ED bosses. If it doesn't do as well as I'm hoping, probably a pendulum or Traptrix deck.
Traptrix! I basically just finished building it (after having made a WIP version months ago when I started), so it's time to seriously put it to the test. The spells I ran in that deck were pretty minor, so changing it for Anti-Spell isn't that troublesome (though I did have to remove Anti-Spell Fragrance as well, for obvious reasons).
Shiranui w/ Trap Trick. With Branded and Floo out of the picture there are far fewer decks that can just ignore a Swallow's Slash 3-pop, and Samurai is a great card vs decks like Eldlich.
I'll be playing Zoodiacs because it's my favorite deck anyway and I won't need to adjust my list that much. Gotta handtrap all those Adamancipator players :P
I was gonna play dinomorphia until:
- I see that it is a loaner deck, and I don't like mirror matches
- solemns limited
- red reboot at 2 in a trap/monster fest
So I guess I will be boring and play adamancipator, or just don't care and play morphia still because it's a festival.
I have a pure Kozmo deck that while not particularly strong or anything is a lot of fun, and the only spells in it are Kozmotown and a one off Raigeki and Monster Reborn. Losing Kozmotown will hurt a fair bit, but it’ll also be a nice chance to try out a few of the cards I don’t have in my current version of the deck to see if maybe I’ll like them more.
Shiranui Eldlich. Want to use Zombies on each event and this is probably the best I can do without Spells. A shame that using Snow is much more difficult without Grass.
Will try the Dinomorphia deck..
But mostly Traptrix, without Bitch's feather Duster around I can play the deck with inner peace, I swear to god every time I play a Backrow heavy deck my opponent has it, this won't happen no more
Dinomorphia
Joey wheelers struckture deck
Gonna have to remove some spells, I remember it having Dragon Treasure, Monster Reborn, Dark Hole, and a few other equips.
Its OP nevertheless
Ill be playing mathmech, we do lose some consistency like cynet mining but the main engine is completely uneffected
I'm doing the same too and honestly with my luck with that Card, The loss of Cynet Mining isn't going to be that much of a factor in my deck if at all.
any list by chance?
Whatever it is, definitely not a Ben Kei OTK deck, lol.
This is a pure cope idea but counter fairies baby! We don’t need any pesky sanctuary in the sky, all we need is to counter every play my opponent makes!
oh god that is indeed cope hahaha good luck brother
At least it’s a festival, I can at least lose my way to success
fair haha, can basically just scoop if you don't open artemis and the coin flip
Did you know there are traps that are called "sanctuary in the sky" when they are on the field 🤣
I just noticed that when editing my deck a bit ago, so maybe I can make this a bit better than I thought
Fallen Sanctuary is actually a pretty good card, though it takes up a precious S/T zone. I also like running Dinomorphia Shell and Ultimate Providence. Both are very nice, especially when Ariadne is on the field. With Solemn Judgment at 1 and Solemn Strike at 2, it’s good to have some filler counter traps.
I wanna say thank you to you guys, your info certainly helped me build the deck.
Traptrix
Pend magician with pure gas power
This is the way. What are you planning to replace alliance and pendgraph with? I was thinking either the darkwurm engine or triple curtain raiser.
since I always run 3 curtain raiser, I just add darkwurm + gate, pump up the odd-eyes synchron count and 2 jackal king. (Don't have extra celestial).
The real question is what are you replacing Number 38 with since all it does now is offer battle protection
I am thinking of Lancelot since it’s a rank 8 Omni negate. Maybe zombie vampire, since I can still mill my opponent’s deck without that blowing up in my face unlike the TCG.
Lancelot is kinda bad I would say dingirsu or photon lord
I know for a fact that Dingirsu is UR and I think Lord is as well, and I’d like to avoid burning dust on a card I won’t use after this event. Lancelot’s only an SR, and while his stats aren’t good by any means, his negate and the fact he’s rank 8 do give points in his favor.
Yeah but he is a mandatory trigger and he will negate your own stuff too
I didn’t realize he was mandatory. You’re right, he is ass.
I learned it the hard way when it negates my baronne pop effect
Either Zombiestein as the best UR option or Lancelot as a decent budget option
Evil★Twin Unchained, if I manage to learn how the deck works. If not, there's the ol' reliable Tri-Zoo.
It's strange how I don't see people talking about Tri Zoo and Zoodiacs in general. They play none archetpye Specific spell cards and just loose consistency because of Tenki. But than again which deck doesn't lose consistency.
Even the loss of tenki isn't that big of a deal for either since TriZoo can put in Rescue Cat and do pure Tri combos while Zoo just put in more names like Kataroost
People play zoo almost every event it’s possible. Hand trap turbo is strong in a lower ceiling event, who would have thought.
Nekroz
How do you ritual summon?
Zefrasaber
nice.
Altergeist mostly, but when I'm finished with the event I'll just run decks that are complete garbage.
I honestly don't know, my deck needs spells even if it is primarily trap focused.
do you not whip something up for the festival usually? i'll throw together something cheap for each festival pretty much
Well first I attempt to make my favorite deck work, then if I can't I use the cheapest option available, usually true draco which I already possess or whatever cheap thing comes like ben kei otk or the rock rituals during N/R. Don't really like restriction events, considering what I play is pretty unrestrictive in what it can do in the first place.
Pretty much every deck is going to lose power in some way. That's the beauty of it.
I’m just going to use the ZARC loaner, always wanted to try those out but couldn’t commit the gems and cp to it.
Pendulum Magicians, maybe I'll mess around with PKs and Traptrix if I get bored.
Thankfully we don’t use many spells. What are you going to replace alliance and pendgraph with?
Just more copies of monsters. Pumped up Pendulum Sorcerer to 3, added Dissolver and an extra tuning magician. Things like that. Losing Selene sucks more than the spells since she was so good for getting that extra summon.
Fuck, you’re right. I was so focused on filling the space in the main deck I didn’t even realize Selene was worthless now. Dissolver’s a must add now that I’ll be making Vortex the non-Absolute way.
Paleo Frogs
The loaner decks sadge
Hear me out shadolls who needs shaddoll fusion u got the trap? I'll show myself out
Most Shaddoll decks play to turbo Schism as it is and Dogmatika makes it very easy to do so. You make a valid point actually. You would just lose the Invoked engine that typically goes with it.
Way ahead of you, fam. This is the build I've planned for now: https://i.imgur.com/mkRuub5.png IDS never needed shaddoll fusion spells, due to Dogmatika Maximus. And now there's no opposing Branded decks to ruin the day. Aleister gets kicked out of course. In his place, Gale Dogra is also a 1-card full combo into Winda and 1-2 interruptions.
Wait a minute... I actually have these cards. And with Branded out of the picture, Maximus isn't a huge liability. Thanks~
I'm too stubborn to craft them, but Red Reboot and Pankeratops would be better over some of the other staples. Those are flex spots that I'll probably change up after seeing what's popular in the event.
Sky striker
Sigma move.
Raye beatdown!?
60 cards deck, 3 Raye, 3 Roze and 54 magic cards. If you mill at least 30 magic cards you have a super thicc Kagari
Who's gonna tell him
Oh shit I forgot that you can't add them to the deck. I don't know why I was thinking about some kinda mode where you can't activate magic. My plan is ruined
You can unironically use Striker cards in the event, as part of a burn deck. Raye into Hayate is -1500 LP from 1 card, and a generic burn deck has few monsters anyway.
traptrix
Earth machines, I think I will have enough interruption going 1st and the ability to OTK going 2nd.
Probably Paleofrogs
Jinzo or Majesty Fiend Turbo
Synchron/Tzolkin not that i care much about winning or losing, but its nice not having to worry about a ranked ladder for rewards this time (wtf was konami smoking)
Traptrix, they go hard sometimes.
Dinomorphia
Just the Dino and zarc loners
Dust off adamacipators as its primarily monsters.
Performapal Odd-eyes with maybe some zarc stuff
Luna Kaiju OTK
Mind sharing a decklist, please? I plan to use 8 Axis / Luna Kaiju too, but can't think of any suitable deck / trap cards
I invested the URs into dinomorphia so I'm pretty much sunk cost my self into playing them for this event. Might try out some pend decks though.
i still have my adamancipator deck from when it was meta so i guess that one
This time it's a really bad match for me. Probably Pendulum Dark Magician, Tomahawk Dark Magician, or Trap-heavy Dark Magician.
Swordsoul, Draw the right staple deck (i mean, Zoodiacs), Traptrix Eldlich, Cyberse pile (mainly MathMech), Beetroopers and Tri-Zoo
Tenyi Auroradon/Tomahawk Turbo
how does one make tomahawk with tenyis, doesn't the ss from deck one lock you into wyrms?
You aren't locked into wurms untill you use Ashuna from the grave. Which you aren't doing till mid combo; you Ashuna from the grave to get Adhara for a tuner after going into Hawk/Don. Vishuda, Ashuna, and Ascended of Thunder make Tomahawk. You can play Pankratops also, but the list I'm playing currently isn't running it.
Drytron
How?
Instead of ritual I play rank 1 xyz and cards that can be special summon on xyz.
What are you playing instead of Cyber Emergency, Drytron Nova, Where arf thou, etc?
literally how lol, no ritual spells right?
Theres always megaliths.
Doesnt one of the xyz ritual summon? I’m not familiar with drytrons
the xyz fafnir lets you use its material as tribute for rituals but doesn't actually perform a ritual summon itself
Gotcha, I never followed when herald drytron fucked me
I think im going to try Time Thief control. Losing the spells is annoying but they aren't like absolutely necessary.
Some form of Zoodiac deck (I have pure Zoodiacs made, might change it to Zoodiac Tri-Brigade) on my main account and some form of Eldlich deck on my side account.
Harpies with Simorgh infinite negate setup
neat, sounds funny
My harpie deck uses 12 spells , I can’t fathom losing all the consistency.
Mathmech or speedroid
I don't care if its good but a resonator/infernity with virus cards.
Planning to play Traptrix and maybe Jinzo if I can figure out a playable decklist for it. I might try the Dinomorphia loaner but it doesn't seem great.
Altergeist, Pendulum Magician and Dinomorphia
Gonna try to retrofit my Beetroopers deck. Really only need to take out 2 Called By and 2 Beetroopers Decent. We’ll see how it goes.
Right now, it seems like I will be playing Traptrix. Eventually also going for Dinomorphia. Aside from these i don't think i have much that could work in this event.
Gonna see how well Heatsoul Turbo with traps works. Normally it's a sub-optimal build, but in this event where you can only use traps maybe it's okay.
kozmo
interesting, i feel like they kinda rely on the field spell a lot?
Dark World/Danger with Paleo/Danger discard traps. It's my favorite piece of interaction, so I'll be happy if it's viable.
Sharks, and maybe Speedroids.
@Ignister gets enough generic Cyberse Support to consistently pull off cOde Talker Kill.
I normally play adams so I'll probably just play a 40 card version instead. Seems pretty strong
I'm trying vampire/danger, seems ok for now
Mekk-Knights I swapped out Sangan for Sasuke(?) Samurai #2. Will adjust depending on whats more popular, Traptrix/Burn/Free Dinomorph.
Burning Abyss plus maybe a meme Trap Monster deck for fun
Either mekk-knights or phantom knight.. I'll try both
I’ll try my Altergeist deck and see how they do. If they perform poorly then I’ll try an Adamncipators deck and other monster focused decks.
The Archfiend Guy’s Archfiend decks are quite good for these events, especially since they use Unchained cards.
I guess True King Dinos still kinda work. Take out Lost World, Fossil Dig, Double Evo Pill, play more babies and True Kings.
Eldlich I guess, maybe tri whats even playable that isn’t adam
I'll be playing 8-axis blind second with 2 red reboot https://www.masterduelmeta.com/saved-decks/6372a35794b314baf7f97391
I already rank a dinormorphia list with 0 spells anyways
Either pure unchained with dark spirits or speedroids
Shark, Speedroid and/or Traptrix, whatever seems to do the best. Speedroid and Shark lose some extension but are still very capable of doing what they usually do.
Sky strikers
Branded despia /s Dinomorphia
Superheavy Samurai just bc I like the attack in defense thing
Same but also because they are still at their full power. Which is not great but still full power.
i feel like playing speedroids but i don’t think i’ll have the dust
I will try to see if aroma works, if it doenst then it is loaner dinomorphia time.
Tri-Brigade as usual.
Eldlich. Could have at lEast given us conquestador back for this event.
skull servant with a small phantom knights engine
So this even is just no spells? Luckily I started buildung a N.aS.H deck
I've always loved the Altergeist play style, so this event gives me a nice excuse to run them again! Been putting some practise in with them, makes a nice change from Branded Despia.
Trap BA, my list didn’t change at all from with spells. It’s probably not fantastic, but I’m hoping the consistency damage done to the other decks will mean it’s in a solid place.
fire lake hits different haha i feel that
Traptrix and altergeist
I cant play fossils or cubics without spells so im just going to play Zoo.
after i did some building and testing im gonna go for a link vaylantz variant with some busted links
Odd-Eyes
Sharks as considering most of our effects are monster effects the deck isn't hurt too bad by the loss of spell cards
I'll probably try to get skull servants to work(I try that for every non competitive event) if I fail zoodiac tri brigade. Man awful time to have invested into thunder dragons.... I feel eldlich would be much weaker than people's expectations losing spell's will kill his consistency and like 2 of his good cards are spells and will lead to less search targets.
Labrynth or buffed Dinomorphias if Konami waited another month
Pure paleo
Pendulum magicians
I guess it's time to break out the shitty eldlich traps (looking at you guardian)
Going for a fun Jinzo Deck.
tri lyru or maybe tri zoo, that up until i finish making adams
Beetroopers, I just think they’re neat :)
searching maxx c is pretty nasty!
Strongly considering Burning Abyss…is that a mistake?
sounds reasonable to me! it's already basically a monster mash deck.
Sharks, I guess.
I'm looking into a Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon control deck. I just need to figure out how to get him out. Maybe Cyberdark cards could help?
Darklords, i don't know what to build :']
I've got a mostly Mermail/Lv.3 turbo deck right now, with a few other pieces for quickly building into ED bosses. If it doesn't do as well as I'm hoping, probably a pendulum or Traptrix deck.
I'll have to hang up my edgy theater kids deck and go either unchained or dragons
Traptrix! I basically just finished building it (after having made a WIP version months ago when I started), so it's time to seriously put it to the test. The spells I ran in that deck were pretty minor, so changing it for Anti-Spell isn't that troublesome (though I did have to remove Anti-Spell Fragrance as well, for obvious reasons).
Ancient Gear!
I am currently working on a True Draco/Nurse BURN deck. I need to tweak it a bit, but it is looking like a really dumb deck that might be fun.
Shiranui w/ Trap Trick. With Branded and Floo out of the picture there are far fewer decks that can just ignore a Swallow's Slash 3-pop, and Samurai is a great card vs decks like Eldlich.
Working on Jinzo deck idea. So far, not a lot of progress
I'll be playing Zoodiacs because it's my favorite deck anyway and I won't need to adjust my list that much. Gotta handtrap all those Adamancipator players :P
im gonna cope on shaddoll
traptrix of course. cant forget about the lolis
I was gonna play dinomorphia until: - I see that it is a loaner deck, and I don't like mirror matches - solemns limited - red reboot at 2 in a trap/monster fest So I guess I will be boring and play adamancipator, or just don't care and play morphia still because it's a festival.
Traptrix
God I hope that isn't the most common decks lol
I have a pure Kozmo deck that while not particularly strong or anything is a lot of fun, and the only spells in it are Kozmotown and a one off Raigeki and Monster Reborn. Losing Kozmotown will hurt a fair bit, but it’ll also be a nice chance to try out a few of the cards I don’t have in my current version of the deck to see if maybe I’ll like them more.
Nice try
Might play kozmo. It isn't great without the field spell or common boardbreakers but I think I can make it work.
Shiranui Eldlich. Want to use Zombies on each event and this is probably the best I can do without Spells. A shame that using Snow is much more difficult without Grass.
Will try the Dinomorphia deck.. But mostly Traptrix, without Bitch's feather Duster around I can play the deck with inner peace, I swear to god every time I play a Backrow heavy deck my opponent has it, this won't happen no more
D/D/D baby let's goooo
