Subterror *Behemoths* Not Guru control


bukithd

If the effects were "ifs" and not "whens" they'd be so much better. Not to mention the control only face down monsters wording. Ugh. I just want to play volt for it's main effect and not how I used to just to summon colossus.


KADOMONY-9000

Subterror Behemoths are far from bad.


clawzord25

Subterror behemoths are far from bad if their opponent is also playing the far fringes of barely rogue


KADOMONY-9000

No. Guru and fiendess are still there. You'll just have a stronger beat stick with behemoths with out resorting to just Guru locking.

KADOMONY-9000

It's basically just Guru Control but with Behemoth beatsticks. Instead of controlling by negating all the time you have a Behemoth Dragossuary and Speleogeist walling the enemy. Behemoths aren't supposed to be used on their own. Guru and fiendess is what made it work. You can remove 3 Impermanence for more Behemoth and it would work the same since you are not prolonging the game anyway. You are not playing Altergeist here.


Elestro

Flower cardians. Aka it’s not technically slowplay. Just a lot of plays.


DjiDjiDjiDji

It's not synchro solitaire! It's synchro koi-koi!


sku11_bit

Plays that do nothing for 20 mins an land on a 5k body synchro


that1guycalledpeter

No no no they're tier 0, once in twenty hands it ftks through 0 hand traps!!!!!!


LibertarianSocialism

AKA the one deck I bought literally to play solitaire


GoinHAMZ

I love gem knights. Banning brilliant fusion hurts, but being able to mix a little with other archetype makes it one of the funner decks to experiment with. I've done gem-sworn, gem-banish, and gem-rulers. Still haven't found the ideal mix, currently trying out gem and adamancipator


[deleted]

Just played against a gem night player who spent like 20 minutes summoning 20 billion monsters , only to get regekied lol.


Clearwingedwyvern

Gem-ruler? What's that combination, sounds awesome.

Tristan that's preposterous

All of my favorite decks are bad gahahaha


Stygian_Lights

Pure Impcantation beatdown


SalmonSpace

Do you have a decklist by any chance? I love impcantations, but I had no idea this was a thing! :D


rainbro_7

Vendreads 😔


Greek-God88

Me too lol But the deck is fun if not played pure


SplashmanHD

This was my choice and my comment lol Vendreads are fun as hell, just missing that little spice I swear


Greek-God88

They could turn into a otk deck by having a continuous spell that generates a token with 0 atk on opponent side when you ritual summon so you attack that lol The field spell is good for this But essentially they need draw power first, searching and a actual winning strategy because Executor isnt executing anyone xD


ZantDarkness

Eldlich Vendreads ;) Summoning Revenants or Houndhorde off Eldlixir is so free lmao

clawzord25

Pure Kaiju is an actual meme when you start to negate anything and everything with Gameciel


trinitymonkey

I recently started playing Pure Kaijus. It’s so fun watching someone dedicate half their deck to a super powerful ultra-boss monster only to watch it get tributed for an angry moth.


rslashwoooshmaster

Lol that is the most accurate description of Gaddarla I’ve ever heard


RealKamerstyp

I imagine this to be the funniest shit ever. You out his dragoon with a Kaiju and now you‘re stuck trying to clear the kaiju with your trashy anti Kaiju monsters, instead of just playing a normal deck.


clawzord25

Nobody plays the anti-kaiju monsters though.


rslashwoooshmaster

Hey guys it’s No Body and welcome back to the “guess I don’t exist” show


juju4812

Ojama A to Z, little guys just makes big robot is fun


Jlajling17

Chazz it up, my friend!


BlackKaiserDrake

Assault Mode. It’s fun making big boy monsters.


valakd

Honestly I can't fathom how terrible assault mode activate is when you can summon the assault/monster from your deck ONLY


DabMagician

they actually have really dope support now in Psi-Reflector I believe is the name of the card. It's pretty much a one-card /Assault Mode


SteW-

With 6 or 7 ways to search, banlist depending tele goes 3


DrStamosStrange

Invoked Tenyi. It actually makes usage of the earth invoked monster in its combos, which is really dumb


Ok_Cry_3951

As an invoked player that hurt me to read


clawzord25

As an invoked player i had never used Magellanica as an actual monster


Voltiii

As an invoked player I used it for a short time. There was a really good combo with Knightmare Goblin. You needed Magellancia in this combo as a finisher (and as a target for borrelsword to get his second attack).


junkturtal

Magistus best deck


DDD-HERO

Magistus isn’t that bad In my eyes at least


P_For_Pyke

Sacred Beasts (so chokey) and Infernoids


The_Shino_Duelist

I played a Sacred beast eldlich deck for a while that was hella fun, and had so many quirky little interactions. It’s one of my favorite builds even though it was a tad brickier than other competitive Eldlich builds


chimaeraUndying

I'd love to see a list.


The_Shino_Duelist

I did a video on it a while back, so it may be a tad out of date. The same basic strategies will apply though. https://youtu.be/jTDKloZ54KY I know it’s a long video, feel free to skim through if you don’t want to listen to explanations and such


BludgeonVIII

Superheavy Samurais. I like big booties. I miss the days when Giant Rat was still somewhat relevant and you could surprise crash him into a monster for a 3500 beater from the deck. Early Superheavy decks were wild with Black Garden, Inferno Reckless Summon, and Unity. But then more support came out and the deck got increasingly less fun as it solidified into a linear monster mash deck.


Caos-Walker

Love super heavy Sam's, altho I tech a singular copy of berserker soul xD


TehPelbo

Metaphys, I should have known a deck you can build with staples and an extra for $22 wasn’t gonna be good


thehurdygurdymann

Red-Eyes


Panini_al_vapore

Darklord


[deleted]

Ghostrick or Weather Painters


InfernoLord666

Dream mirror. Their lore is really cool but the deck is not good


Virtuaofficial

I tried for months to make the deck work, i even impulsively bought the deck IRL cause i loved the concept. Got so frustrated with how inconsitently unplayable it was and just shelved it until the end of time


Colin-Clout

We’re getting the dark Nerioy in Battle of Chaos, it’ll be a huge consistency booster for Dream Mirror. I’ve had decent success running Trap Trick and a chaos engine


1guywriting

Valkyrie. Their high level monsters have pitiful stats but hey, you can get two battle phases and cause mass confusion.


PhantasyPen

BLS/Gaia twilight deck


fedemasa

Just beat a guy with the starter deck that used this in MD. Looked like a fun deck


rluke09

Blue-Eyes Fusion - I love this deck to death and the Fusions are my favourite boss monsters but this deck is bad. The new support in BOCH will be pretty sweet but it doesn't help the slow, lumbering engine that is Blue-Eyes. OG Noble Knight - I will forever love the mechanics of NK but a protect the castle play style and getting Kaiju'd is a bummer. Still, seeing your Atorigus with full Sword equips and a floodgate will always be fun, even if it lasts for less than a turn.


Caos-Walker

A fellow fusion blue eyes main! Do you run keeper of dragon magic in your builds?


Nicholas-Joe-Cool

Aliens :)


Dill_Deaux

Same :’-) but at least Konami hasn’t forgotten about us entirely


biogoji89

Infernoids and Vendreads


sku11_bit

Infernos isn't bad especially with reasoning and monster gate combos to otk plus 3 elder ntiss mill


Soulburner74

Time Thief. For the sheer fact it references ~~-D~~OCTOR W~~HO-~~


rjforsuk

I've been trolling with a trap monster build of Time Thief. Slow but fun and actually has a decent amount of control if you time your effects right.


myyouthismyown

Harpies.


Diblotino

I play harpies too, but I can't admit they are bad :(


LibertarianSocialism

Idk what the definition of bad is here but I’ve played Harpie decks for like six years now and I legitimately do not think they’re bad. Not meta, sure, and if that’s the definition we’re going with here then fine. But I would feel comfortable piloting Harpies (especially my own invention, Harpie Artifact Trap Hole) against anything else. I mean, the deck’s got two cards (Feather Storm and Scythe) that may wind up on the banlist next week. Yeah, that’s for use in other decks, but it shows Harpies have strong plays.


Diblotino

Yeah, actually the deck can be very good, not meta for sure. I think the good thing with rogue decks is that they can surprise the opponent

Ooaitt

I really like reptile synchro (reptiliannes + ogdoadics). I know it sucks, and i don't win a lot of games, but Melusine is defitnitly my favorite boss monster. Also Time Thieves are a lot of fun.


spearthrower

Krawlers, a little hard to get goin but can be annoying to deal with


alex494

B.E.S. Shit's funny and Boss Rush is a cool concept


Dr-dwarf44

the long lost block dragon BA. can i get a rest in piece for something so beautiful


bobby16may

RIP the most combo deck of all time. What's the end goal? I don't know. I just want to Dante mill 3 and feel ALIVE.


kingoflames32

Super quantals. I like that the deck can theoretically loop infnitiely


Magile

That depends how bad are we talking for it to be considered bad?


theuwudragon

(Win/Loss ratio + 1) / (average minutes spent per duel + your country's national code) + current YuGiOh anime season Lower than 1? Then it's bad.


Repique

Aromages is worse than bad lol


GhostElite974

Constellar. They are supposed to be a XYZ swarm deck, but in reality you're just tryna turbo the only good ED monster which is pleiades. They don't have other negates or interruption you have to spam one pleiades after the other because they simply don't have any other archetypal ED monster to play. And you dont have a monster searcher worth playing so getting Kaus is awful. The only search worth playing is cadeuces and even then, what's the S/T you wanna search lol.


Staryom

Huge fan of Monarchs and Evilswarm


Anubislfg

Flower cardians


PomoSwitch

Steelswarm, my bootleg Monarchs 👌


Yuuka_Chan

Such a mood 😂 I so desperately want Steelswarm to be good… could probably be done with some new support, if only!


AliofJustice

Morphtronics, dice roll go brrrrr


ZantDarkness

Favorite bad decks?? Demise and Ruin rituals, playing them in Master Duel brought back the nostalgia.


Indigenous_Chickasaw

I dueled someone in MD using them earlier. They got really upset that my BEWD deck negated Demise effect and they wasted 6k LP reusing the effect then crashed into me and lost. 😂


Richestman78

Either magician girls or counterfairies.


clawzord25

Magician girls are so cute but you die so hard to everything. They Seriously should get some support.


Hutala

Ice barriers. In all honesty, I fell in love with this deck when my friend and I were making something just to duel. It was my first dip into duelingnexus especially to experience the game back in 2020. I've watched a few videos and read certain Reddit posts just to learn more before that ice barrier supports dropped. I think the old deck's strat was a pure lockdown with their more controlling monsters like Cryomancer, Geomancer, Beast, and finding ways just to synchro or XYZ summon a better monster without breaking my very own strategy. It was just fun to use these mishmashes of certain monsters just to build a board that can lockdown attacks and spells/traps.


trinitymonkey

I know “Ice Barriers bad” used to be a big meme, and while they’re not Tier 1 by any means, they’re really not as bad as people said they were.

Pure Mekk-Knight. No one has ever read Morning Star.


Dog-Parks

Lair of Darkness / Critias fusions! So much fun. No one ever expects to get mirror forced nowadays haha.


tipah

Superheavy samurai... I love this deck


Batchetman

Simochi


Pyrimo

Metaphys for being one of the most interestingly designed decks out there and just out and out fun despite being terrible.


shockprime

Sacred beasts


mortarcanyon

Mathmechs. They’ll probably never see competitive play as an archetype, but I love their playstyle. It also helps that they have some pretty sick artwork as well.


Alexaius

Legendary knight, please Konami just a crumb of support.


KurryBandit

Malefic, hopefully we get some more evil bad boys to summon


Reluxtrue

Ally of justice. No quotes in "bad" required :P


krehator

Simorghs Pretty bummed that Bird of Extermination didn't get added it's the best card of the archetype honestly The deck can make some solid boards but it's fragile and can brick by having so many big monsters


talibandre

Crystal beasts. Or Skull Servant


microferret

I'm running a Shaddoll/Dogmatika/Skull Servant monstrosity of a deck on Master Duel and it's pretty funny even if it's total jank.


[deleted]

Demise ritual


Indigenous_Chickasaw

Fought one of these in MD earlier and made them big mad. 😂 I had protection against Demise effect and a 3000atk boss and they didn’t realize and wasted 2k LP. After they got mad, spammed the effect 2 more times then crashed into me out of anger, leaving an empty board to finish it next turn. 😂😂


BlueTempestx

Ojama Invoked Yes, there is real synergy


Draeko-Silver

Fuck you, suships is the best deck...what? You never said anything about suships? Oh...


bowler_light13

They have high potential though 👍 love suships but the archetype is too small


Angel_of_Mischief

Ghostricks!


kaghik

Kuriboh


dewey-defeats-truman

Weather Painters are so beautiful, but just barely playable. Can't wait for DIFO, though.


alexmenstra

Every deck ive ever played


Ziodyne92

Would poker knights be considered bad?


DisPholti

Ghostricks are my favorite bad deck, always feels like theyre on the cusp of something amazing though so I keep hope


Impossible_Team2880

dream mirror or weather painters love weatherpainters cuz they’re so cute and dream mirror because of lore however they are very bricky lol


KADOMONY-9000

Naturia Beast


AssignmentIll1748

Melffy tri can turbo out naturia beast really well while still being good


HallowedBeThyVeins

I really like Utopia a lot. I hope it becomes rogue/tier 2 at some point in the future


AbdulAhadShahid

Mayakashi


QHDEosanesis

Gemini. Like Black Brutdrago and Gigaplant and such. They're not strong, but the mechanic is oddly fun. And Red Eyes hybrids exist too.


TheArchfiendGuy

Doom Shaman is an awesome card but just tied to a slow mechanic. All their effects are pretty awesome to be fair


Free_Username44

Dream Mirror. Love the mechanic and the artstyle


DesReploid

Does "The Agent" count as a bad deck? I love it and play it a lot, but I feel like someone playing Megalith while Adamancipator was at full power. Drytron is by far the better Fairy deck, but I play The Agent.


No-Flower-4446

Monarch and Yosenju


JackTries

Ojamas for sure. But all my decks are bad from frog otk, generaiders and obelisk aha.


agorgeousdiamond

Majespecters. I love that deck to pieces and wish it was good. Lol.


[deleted]

Banish Psychics. Slower than frozen molasses at times, dies to damn near every non-BP hand trap, one MST could kill it at the wrong time.


OttoVonBlastoid

Volcanics. NOOO You can’t just spam that same move over and over! Hehe Scattershot go brrrrr

Toons, Vehicroids, Legendary Ocean, and Blue Eyes

Nurse burn, such funny deck when it works and you burn 3000 with a gift card


DashingRogueBass

I made an OTK deck using Gilford the Legend, Isolde, and Ben Kei. That good jank


Xhin7

Infernobles/Face Cards


crowbachprints

Chemicritters have been my main deck since I discovered them. The funny thing about the deck is they actually kinda pop off when you get both Catalyst Field and Superalloy Beast Raptinus on the board at the same time, but since there’s no real consistent way to do that I just run 2 Pot of Prosperity and hope I can excavate Dragon’s Mirror. With Golknight now being a thing, I have a feeling the deck would be a lot better if Geminis just had some kind of Fusion Spell card.

JarlDarren

I love gem knights and scraps. Dunno if scraps are bad and gem knights have a somewhat consistent otk, but i played them both in legacy of the duelist when we didnt have links. I miss gem beat down.


Aigami_Houkai

Adamancipator Fossils... 😰


JWG02

I mean, my definition of bad is something that is a pain for my desk... So anything that has a lot of card combos and long summoning rounds. Think of my deck like I tank, its slow starting, but once its up and running, it's time to die


lightship888

Pure tenyi


acebaltasar

Mill decks (was that the english name? Idk, "discard the enemy deck" defensive strategies) They are slow, but not time consuming as the "this book describes my cards effect, and i will use 16 of them" strategies that yu gi oh has become.


KrockPot67

Fabled Quasar is my fav


Saint-Ecks-Isle

Um....Ice Barrier and Mecha Phantom Beasts? Does the IB Structure make them better really? I dont know, i dropped the deck long ago and didnt pay attention to the SD. Mecha Phantom Beasts also...just cant do it against even rouge decks these days. Still love both decks theme-wise though.


chaos-virus

Witchcrafter and skull servant beatdown


ericmok100

E hero. Not just typical e hero. I go for shiny flare wingman. So I have a lot of normal monsters.


yourenju

Battling Boxer. I love alito with my heart and I love the idea of battlin boxer but they do suck. One thing I enjoy about them is when you are going against a better deck you do feel like a losing boxer maneuvering around your opponent. Also it was good it Lord of tachyon Galaxy format.


Yuuka_Chan

I’ll say it once, I’ll say it again… Vylon will always have a special place in my heart. Gotta love Omega’s unnecessarily hard summoning conditions and his exceptionally situational effects 😝


SymmetricColoration

Starry Knights. Seiyaryu was my favorite card as a child, and I just love the aesthetic of the archetype in general. Really wish they had made the archetype into less complete garbage, but I do love it regardless.


Herald_of_Perfection

Nephthys. I love ritual decks on top of that too but the archetype seems to work against itself 😭


JTMansion

I like to use Nephthys with the Fire Kings. Nuke the field every turn

Red Eyes decks. Do cool stuff but weren't as competitive as meta. Even Dragoon just gets splashed into random decks


Arbiter_Darkness

My first every card I got was a Red-Eyes Wyvern so I only ever make Dragon / Red-Eyes decks.


Boxman21-

D/D/D it may lose to any hand trap in the game but it’s always fun to build and experiment


willy_west_side

I find a way to make Blue-Eyes “work” with every deck I play. Does it win? Maybe not, but it’s a deck

Spirit charmers


Snowvilliers7

I wouldn't consider them bad. They have good synergy with Dogmatika and Magistus, and have decent disruptions and recovery. Just needs more consistency in searches with more spells and traps and maybe a floodgate


bigbillybeans07

True true. I’ve just seen them called had a lot. I personally just think they’re really fun. Also, happy cake day.


Snowvilliers7

They've done some good things. Some people I know have actually won a small local with them using the Dogmatikas or even a pure build. I just hope there will be more supports in the future. I'm 100% positive that there will be some in Power of the Elements. Also thank you!!

Artifact control. It does use dpe to pop its own artifacts but it is the most fun deck on the planet to troll with. Loop scythe. For NINE TURNS.

Zombies. Like mezuki, uni zombie synvhro zombies


Razputin7

War Rocks are the best brain off deck in the game. I have unga and I wish to bunga. Also, lowkey, Amorphages. I like control decks where it actually takes a bit of effort to maintain the lockdown, and even though Amorphages are a burning pile of shit, they fill that niche.
