Season 1 was like locals , competitive but you were prepared knowing what decks were being played and Season 2 is like a YCS , you prepare for the best decks but you get matched up with rogue all day
@@davisflack5633 at first yeah , I played against all the meta decks , but then people got bored I guess so I got matched with more rogue , I’ve been at plat 1 both seasons and it’s just randomness .
I'm in Platinum rank with Blue Eyes. It was a heck of a grind to get there. But now I'm facing Tri-Brigades and Drytrons every duel and it is really rough.
Its not a bad deck but its in a bad environment. Its very special summon and field effect reliant and we have 3x maxx C and 3x skill drain. On top of centering around a lot of 2 card starters, it can also be bricky but thats normal for GEPD
Seriously, people keep leaving Dragonmaid off lists and act like Dragonlink is better, but Dragonmaid Control will easily get you to plat 1 and beat most meta matchups
I've been playing them, and don't see why people forget them. Sure, they might not be THE BEST, but I still win a fair bit of the time, and it's fun to play instead of being a cookie-cutter meta bullshit deck.
So I've always loved six samurai. It was my 1st deck type ever and i cant let it go no matter how non meta it is. It gotta say it breaks my heart though that is not even part of these conversations 😭 great video though
I reached plat IV with sams 1st season and not any higher because I didn't have much time to play as my win rate never actually fell. In season two i switched to a bamboo sword variant of the deck and it is even more consistent. If you know the deck good it can stomp on many decks. This tier lists having freaking blue eyes, dms etc and not Six Sams is a joke. What can I say let em sleep bro
Super happy to see Dark Magician low on here after getting it to Plat 5 earlier in Season 2! (My heart couldn't take trying to climb higher but the fact I got there at all felt amazing.) It really did feel like I had to be more of a scalpel instead of a sledgehammer so the wins were always earned. Banishing all 3 Eldlich the Golden Lord was a great feeling everytime it came up.
I have been playing unchained and i am 3 games from Plat 1, honestly a super underrated and versatile deck. Its not something you can just pickup and win with, but allows you to outplay your opponent as long as you understand their deck. Extremely rewarding playstyle
Any chance I could get a decklist? I'm a returning player and am super interested in playing unchained, I've already made my own deck for it but haven't actually crafted anything. Also anywhere I could learn the combos for the deck?
@@yaboyskinnypeen1613 literally 3 of every unchained card, except 2 of abominable and 1 of the other lvl8. Dimension shifter is godlike in this deck. Add Maxx C, and any other staple you like, i have triple tac. Extra deck is 3 of blue and 3 of red, 1 Abomination, some OTK links like Borrelsword, Underworld Goddess is almost a must since this deck doesnt have the best removal, and Knightmare Unicorn because you can summon it during your oppenents turn with Unchained Blue Link monster.
Cyber Dragon is definitely rogue but it feels weird having it in the same tier as Blue-eyes. Sure your starting board is generally going to be 1 Infinity + something else that probably isn’t a negate but going second or if your opponent fails to otk in their turn it normally isn’t to difficult to put game on board the first turn you can attack. And for some reason master duel seems to let me draw machine dup all the time it feels like 😂 Blue-eyes, like you I have seen a ton of Blue-eyes players, but I have never seen them do anything other than brick and get crushed 😂
Cydra needs consistency, which it will get once the Cyberdark support is added. Then it'll definitely see a jump in ranking as in a Bo1 format, post-Structure deck Cydra is scary.

Personally I think Eldlich should still be in tier 1 given its match ups with the other tier 1 and 1.5 decks. If the Eldlich player flips up imperial order or skill drain it can become very difficult to deal with Eldlich's back row and with the eldlixer and golden land cards able to float into each other popping them has limited effect on the Eldlich decks ability to stun the opponents board until they have little to no resources
I feel like it's a great anti-meta deck but not quite tier 1. Without Skill Drain in hand it's more annoying than disruptive - the fact that it can run Skill Drain makes it strong, but I feel like that card kinda carries the deck. And due to it's popularity a lot of people maindeck more S/T removal, which isn't the end of the world, but when Eldlich is spending their turns just trying to bring back everyone's favorite golden boy, it's not really doing that much.
As a Blue-Eyes player, can confirm I lose like half of my matches. 80% of my losses are due to bricking like there's no tomorrow. My only wins are through either Draglubion+Numeron Dragon, Chaos MAX double pierce or very rarely Deep-Eyes' effect
I’ve been religiously playing pendulums since release and the biggest problem is that going second is super rough usually because you don’t have hand traps and trying to break established boards is difficult , and going first , sometimes you open goofy hands that get shutdown by a single hand trap. That being said, the ftk is super consistent going first if your opponent doesn’t have anything to interact with you and most players on ladder just don’t know what you’re doing because pendulums aren’t super popular
It's funny how dark magician in master duel is better than blue-eyes, meanwhile in tcg blue-eyes won worlds while dark magician hasn't seen competitive success
I play blue eyes and I'am gold 2 for the moment. Its really fun I can say, but when you play against eldlich or drytron you get beaten in most of the times and I can say that I won just 1 time agains drytrons. You must use skill drain to beat some deck. If you gonna play blue eyes keep in mind this: If your opponent plays herald of ultimateness just surrender you gonna lose no matter what.
It’s strong but I often have a headache playing against Dino if I don’t start with any hand traps… just gonna sit there and watch Dino players solitaire for 10 minutes kills me more than losing the duel 🤣
I’m playing a Dino deck too…In platinum rank 3 and still haven’t come across another Dino player! It’s a fun deck but prone to drawing bricks for sure.
@@dank16 I dunno honestly, yeah you do have to craft a lot of URs but a lot of meta decks have a similar number. Really you just have to be able to bring out a board with like Apollousa, Borreload Savage, UCT, and Dolkka, most of the rest of the extra deck is highly situational and my main deck only has 7 non-staple URs, and all of those come from the same secret pack which is an advantage not every meta deck has that can seriously affect how many gems it takes IMO. I've had a decent win rate with it and I built mine f2p along with a lyrilusc deck and I pulled like 5 Jurrac Meteors instead of the stuff I wanted so I think it's pretty doable. I will say misc despite being really strong though is a weak link to the deck at the same time, you have to be ready for them to throw everything at it when you try to make it go off, and if you don't have a counter then your board can end up pretty shit. Also the combos are pretty long and you have to learn a very different line if you run the scrap engine like I do for the lost world + raptor combo. It was the first deck I made after not having played the game for a long time (like the first few sets long other than some duel links which at first was like early meta anyway) and I had to take a few days to just practice the combos lol. I feel like I really have no out in the deck to cards like Dark Ruler No More, most other things I can deal with though. I kinda want to make it in paper but prosperity is expensive af, I guess I could replace it with something else though. I think 1.5 is pretty fair tho I've been havin a lot of fun with it.
@@jza88 Do you run the scrap engine? I almost never brick with my setup that uses it since Lost world + Scrap, Ovi + Baby, Misc + Baby, Ovi + Misc, or any of the non-scrap dinos with fossil dig is a full combo. According to my napkin math there's like around a 90% chance not to brick, and if you count Ovi + Lost World which makes a not quite as good board but still respectable for a pretty awful hand I think it should be about 96% chance to draw any of those. My biggest problem so far is countering interference with the deck more so than bringing the stuff out.
“just kaiju the bird” lmao how did i not think of that, ill just open with Kaiju every single time so i dont have worry anymore! Thanks man, amazing advice.
Pure numerons is very good, you can otk any deck, plus play multiple hand traps, kaijus and lava golem can break any board. Plus you can also play any pots and for a tech I play vanity’s fiend as a personal spice
As a Galaxy player, it's surprising to see the deck ranked lower than Dark Magician or Blue Eyes. T_T But I also think many Galaxy players aren't aware of all its combos and rely too heavily on Prime OTK (which is important, but still).
I got to plat 4 with my galaxy deck, I struggle a lot against the tier 1 and 2 decks, but still winnable. I have never lost against DM, BEWD and cyber dragons, and dont even see them in plat.
Where do you think Kragen Control falls into? It works really well on the lockout with a lot of the meta. Plus, crooked cook right hand shark is still crazy.
Utopia should be a lil higher - match them with the ZW and ZS monsters. I’m currently platinum with them and still pushing. It can a be a one turn knockout!
The three decks I run are Blackwings, Gravekeeper’s, and Toons. Blackwings got me all the way to where I am. Gravekeeper’s keeps me there. Toons surprises folks. Gravekeeper’s have been my most successful deck. Stuck at Gold 3 and 2.
No fluffals this time around? Fluffals are super consistent, can effortlessly rip boards apart, has plenty of room for hand traps, in-archetype hand trap that gets a non targeting pop and grave setup, 2 card vfd (patchwork + any fluffal) that can be summoned in less than 5 summons, toadally awesome, easy rank 4 and rank 8’s, can play through disruption easily, and holy shit can it otk like it’s just a Tuesday, big underrated deck right now
If Blue eyes had all the new support cards that are not in the game , Blue-Eyes would be wining more. I had Blue-Eyes in Yugioh pro and with the new support I was able to defeat al this meta decks
shit, i’ve dominated my way to plat 1 with true draco and HERO. true draco slaps this MD format i believe. insane deck. HERO also is great going 2nd this format. in the TCG maybe a bit better going first since DPE exists and can play through nib but without it in MD format i feel more obligated to go second especially with droplet in my build
I mean, I did win games with the Galaxy-Eyes loaner deck in the XyZ event. I would say it has been 50 / 50 for me (after I got bored with running my main deck). But yeah, I could see why it would fare pretty badly in the standard leaderboard. It can get quite slow, and the lack of quick effects to activate during your opponent turns do not help either
I was able to get to Plat V with ZW Utopia. Utopic Drganer and Number 38 were big necessities though. Cool to see I was able to make it that far with a deck considered rogue haha
I think Lunalight deserves a mention as most likely a rouge tier deck with both Tiger and Tenyi at 3... Many possible ways to play it even: OTK with the fusions, Rank 4 XYZ toolbox or just combine it with Tri-Brigade...
As a Cyber Dragon player, I've beaten any of these I've come across and the one I lost to, Dragonmaids. Just didn't have the hand I needed and ran out of resources.
Tier list are based off a percentage also player skill is a variable there are so many net decking scrubs online that cant pilot worth a damn cool if I have the heart of the cards I can beat any deck with blue eyes
In the topic of pendulums dinomist is still pretty damn good and cheap to make , skyrocketed from bronze 3 to gold 4 in no time with a couple of bumps here and there and I still didn't implemented an extra deck to it
Used to love your videos and your discord and just got back into ygo glad to see you're on the master duel hype train with all of us im running dragon link its super consistent and just fun af
I’m in Gold Tier 2 with Blue Eyes. 💁🏽♂️ I’ve had good win streaks as well as some back to back losses, but it’s been an easy grind going up the ladder. 😎🤘🏽
I keep checking these videos to see what people are saying about my plant decks, only to end up slipping out quietly through the bushes like homer Simpson.
Hit plat today with my earth machines Rank up game was against a drytron player ,he wasted his hand negating until I brought out Big boi Machinca and wiped his entire board. He scopped
When you realize Shaddolls don't even make it to the tier of "OH NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING BABY?!" I've made it all the way to Plat 5 but then hit a brick wall with Eldlich and Drytron. So sick of those decks. Then I made a Live Twin deck and shut down Eldlich 3 or 4 times with it.
Really enjoying Tenyi Yang Zing Synchron so far in Season 2. Falls flat a bit with bricks here and there, but still loving it. Gotta prep for the release of swordsoul y'know
I’ve made it to plat 3 with blue-eyes, and I feel like it’s just like red-eyes, all the blue-eyes extra deck cards are synchro or fusion but the best blue-eyes deck has like 8 xyz and 5 link monsters 😂 since dragoon came out red-eyes has kinda just been mixed into the dark magician engine cuz they can make flare metal too.
Kagari might be at one, but we have Pot of Avarice and Kaiser Colosseum legal. The deck is definitely tier 1.5 IMO, it almost single handedly got me to plat 1 with an absurd win streak.
Disclaimer. I am a returning player and only have like 40 ranked games to my name so I am a tiny sample size. I have played a very budget pure zoo deck and I have not lost to Tri brigade. Perhaps I am just matching up against newer players like myself but they all go down the same line or play to try and banish your play during your turn. The. They try to do it again on their second turn and doing so leave themselves no monsters to fight back if you slow them down. I am just curious what skilled pilots do beyond. Set up trap for ominous or make an access code.
I used pure utopic deck from rookie till silver. Then sky striker from silver till reached gold. And my last deck is pure cubic deck and reached platinum and pushed to platinum 4. The only reason I managed to make cubic deck work is because people don't read and lot's of negates.
Im sad to not see my Madolches hit tier 1.5, but you know what, with those comments on the sheer fear that Madolches can cause, I'll accept this slight against my people. That said, I do think Madolche's best strength is that people never really remember them. People have heard of it, but never quite know what they do, and those people always get caught off guard when the deck pops off. It may not be the strongest, but we almost always have the element of surprise and that makes running Madolches so much fun.
As a Virtual World player that made his way to Plat, it's good but never felt like a tier 1 deck to me. Bricks easily with bad starting hands, can be shut down easily by plenty of decks, True King can still be destroyed and dealt with through spell/trap cards. I guess I'm missing something.
It's a sad day when I spent so many gems and UR points making the most competitive Galaxy eyes deck and my sub par thunder dragons are finding way more success even tho I've been playing galaxy for years :( such cool cards, what a bummer
Season 1 I got to plat IV with blue-eyes, but it is brocky AF, and too dependant on Draglubion most of times. I've changed to sky strikers and I'm grinding gems for Madolches. Any suggestions for blue eyes?
Gonna say wheres the Gladiator Beast at. But if i had to place it, it would be tier 1 due to it using Tri Brigade as a engine. If i break your board even a little i can go full combo which has me popping multiple cards on their board, and throwing out Domintianis to stop Nibiru. Than i can end on a board of Dom, Tamer Editor, Simorgh, Herk, and a wind barrier statue. Funny thing is every one else that throws out barrier statue cant protect it from attacks but Glads can with Dom. Honestly still a great deck to play. Also hoing to mention Timelords as a rogue deck. Beat out drytrons and eldlich.
I put together a Lyrilusc/Zoodiac pure XYZ deck to practice for the event and... It's really good. I miss taking Simorgh and Apex ofc because I made it with the festival rules in mind. But it's still getting me wins in Plat.
could you find a way to get me the deck profile? been looking for something to build on my alt account that will work in high level competitive as well as the upcoming festival
@@julianreyes1063 I lookedand couldn't really find a way to share it, even if we follow eachother. Seems like that is somehting sorely missing. I'm mostly running 3 of all the lyr monsters +3 slower swallow and 2 d.d. crows.for zoo i just run whiptail and thoroughblade. You use lyr to get on the field without using your nomal summons, then use your nomal to bring in zoo, after you cracked through all the enemy interactions. Big extra deck items are: all the lyr and zoo xyz's, Zeus, and Draco utopic Future (as well as the crad youw ill rank up to it from number F0.)
I play BE and has gotten to plat4 currently.. but I'd say Be has a chance (less than 10%) fighting against decks that are not Eldlich when they have skill drain.....
VW is def a tier 1 but it's the deck that bricks the most out of the top dogs. Its also (in my op) the second easiest to use with Eldlich being without question the most brain dead out of all of them.
I would argue that true Draco's ability to not care about ash and Maxx c at all would put it higher then rouge imo. But I think kragen control is fun so what do I know
I did build a decent phantom knights deck, but somewhere in some pack i got a royal finish chimera megafleet dragon , that makes me really wanna build a cyber dragon deck after this, is it worth it?🤔😂
I'm gonna try my machina deck in master duel to see if it's better when facing maxx c compared to earth machine. Too bad ruinforce isn't in the game yet and I'm testing a dpe variant in ygo omega.
I have two different platforms I play on and both in Plat. I play VW and throughout my time playing on mobile and Xbox, I have only ran into 4 other VW players lol. Played on the other day and match took an hour. Other than that, I mainly just run into eldlich, drytron, and tris every since I hit silver lol
Is it safe to assume that because my Black Luster Soldier deck wasn't on here that it's bottom tier? I mean I kinda expected that after some of the duels I've had in ranked XD
Can't believe I forgot Shaddoll Invoked 🤣🤣 solid ass Tier 2 deck in Master Duel!
Ya wondering were is Shaddoll

Also the combos are pretty long and you have to learn a very different line if you run the scrap engine like I do for the lost world + raptor combo. It was the first deck I made after not having played the game for a long time (like the first few sets long other than some duel links which at first was like early meta anyway) and I had to take a few days to just practice the combos lol.
I feel like I really have no out in the deck to cards like Dark Ruler No More, most other things I can deal with though.
I kinda want to make it in paper but prosperity is expensive af, I guess I could replace it with something else though.
I think 1.5 is pretty fair tho I've been havin a lot of fun with it.
@@jza88 Do you run the scrap engine? I almost never brick with my setup that uses it since Lost world + Scrap, Ovi + Baby, Misc + Baby, Ovi + Misc, or any of the non-scrap dinos with fossil dig is a full combo. According to my napkin math there's like around a 90% chance not to brick, and if you count Ovi + Lost World which makes a not quite as good board but still respectable for a pretty awful hand I think it should be about 96% chance to draw any of those.
My biggest problem so far is countering interference with the deck more so than bringing the stuff out.
I love Galaxy Eyes, but they need more support!!
For example?
@@Federico1871 would love to see more cards to help them compete with the top meta deck. More negates, special summons, etc
You missed skull servents. They are extreamly cheap to make the engine and very good against most tier 2 decks.
No invoked dogmatika shadolls??
But however decent tierlist, people really overestimate drytrons tho, just kaiju the bird
Hello rage turtle
Gamaciel: hello
“just kaiju the bird” lmao how did i not think of that, ill just open with Kaiju every single time so i dont have worry anymore! Thanks man, amazing advice.
@@reservationatdorsias3215 Decks like Dinos and Cyber Dragons can easily search their kaijus.
@@dominik5678 but then how am i gonna search it when drytron has 6+ omni negates?
@@reservationatdorsias3215 You just don't lol
Pure numerons is very good, you can otk any deck, plus play multiple hand traps, kaijus and lava golem can break any board. Plus you can also play any pots and for a tech I play vanity’s fiend as a personal spice
I lost to a blue eyes deck because I was memeing and was playing a crooked cook exodia stall deck and I got chaos max dragon'd
I think I dueled you lol
As a Galaxy player, it's surprising to see the deck ranked lower than Dark Magician or Blue Eyes. T_T But I also think many Galaxy players aren't aware of all its combos and rely too heavily on Prime OTK (which is important, but still).
Bro I beat galaxy eyes with live twin and this deck ain't even on the list
I got to plat 4 with my galaxy deck, I struggle a lot against the tier 1 and 2 decks, but still winnable. I have never lost against DM, BEWD and cyber dragons, and dont even see them in plat.
Where do you think Kragen Control falls into? It works really well on the lockout with a lot of the meta. Plus, crooked cook right hand shark is still crazy.
Utopia should be a lil higher - match them with the ZW and ZS monsters. I’m currently platinum with them and still pushing. It can a be a one turn knockout!
The three decks I run are Blackwings, Gravekeeper’s, and Toons. Blackwings got me all the way to where I am. Gravekeeper’s keeps me there. Toons surprises folks. Gravekeeper’s have been my most successful deck. Stuck at Gold 3 and 2.
No fluffals this time around? Fluffals are super consistent, can effortlessly rip boards apart, has plenty of room for hand traps, in-archetype hand trap that gets a non targeting pop and grave setup, 2 card vfd (patchwork + any fluffal) that can be summoned in less than 5 summons, toadally awesome, easy rank 4 and rank 8’s, can play through disruption easily, and holy shit can it otk like it’s just a Tuesday, big underrated deck right now
If Blue eyes had all the new support cards that are not in the game , Blue-Eyes would be wining more.
I had Blue-Eyes in Yugioh pro and with the new support I was able to defeat al this meta decks
Blue eyes just needs to stop bricking a
All the time
I love this dudes positivity. I subbed just for that.
I love that yugitube is blowing up cause masterduel it's so beautiful. Glad to come back to you cali.
Blue eyes will def be a solid rogue/ tier 2 once all the new support I'd released
shit, i’ve dominated my way to plat 1 with true draco and HERO. true draco slaps this MD format i believe. insane deck. HERO also is great going 2nd this format. in the TCG maybe a bit better going first since DPE exists and can play through nib but without it in MD format i feel more obligated to go second especially with droplet in my build
I mean, I did win games with the Galaxy-Eyes loaner deck in the XyZ event. I would say it has been 50 / 50 for me (after I got bored with running my main deck). But yeah, I could see why it would fare pretty badly in the standard leaderboard. It can get quite slow, and the lack of quick effects to activate during your opponent turns do not help either
I was able to get to Plat V with ZW Utopia. Utopic Drganer and Number 38 were big necessities though. Cool to see I was able to make it that far with a deck considered rogue haha
Got to plat 1 this morning playing spyrals. Really under used and highly consistent
I think Lunalight deserves a mention as most likely a rouge tier deck with both Tiger and Tenyi at 3...
Many possible ways to play it even:
OTK with the fusions, Rank 4 XYZ toolbox or just combine it with Tri-Brigade...
Same as Traptrix, both should have been mentioned imo.
As a Cyber Dragon player, I've beaten any of these I've come across and the one I lost to, Dragonmaids. Just didn't have the hand I needed and ran out of resources.
Tier list are based off a percentage also player skill is a variable there are so many net decking scrubs online that cant pilot worth a damn cool if I have the heart of the cards I can beat any deck with blue eyes
@@scorpfgc oh, of course. I'm just saying that I'm shocked based on what I've seen
In the topic of pendulums dinomist is still pretty damn good and cheap to make , skyrocketed from bronze 3 to gold 4 in no time with a couple of bumps here and there and I still didn't implemented an extra deck to it
Used to love your videos and your discord and just got back into ygo glad to see you're on the master duel hype train with all of us im running dragon link its super consistent and just fun af
What do you think about a Gouki link deck? I have fun with it because it just doesn't run out of cards.
my favorite yugioh youtuber and by far the coolest,
thanks for the great vibes man

I’m in Gold Tier 2 with Blue Eyes. 💁🏽♂️ I’ve had good win streaks as well as some back to back losses, but it’s been an easy grind going up the ladder. 😎🤘🏽
I keep checking these videos to see what people are saying about my plant decks, only to end up slipping out quietly through the bushes like homer Simpson.
Oh snaps you're super grown now bro! Big ups!
Hit plat today with my earth machines Rank up game was against a drytron player ,he wasted his hand negating until I brought out Big boi Machinca and wiped his entire board. He scopped
When you realize Shaddolls don't even make it to the tier of "OH NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING BABY?!"
I've made it all the way to Plat 5 but then hit a brick wall with Eldlich and Drytron. So sick of those decks. Then I made a Live Twin deck and shut down Eldlich 3 or 4 times with it.
Dolls are T2.
What is your opinion about Time Thief? it is probably on rogue but what is your opinion about the deck's cons and pros guys?
Really enjoying Tenyi Yang Zing Synchron so far in Season 2. Falls flat a bit with bricks here and there, but still loving it. Gotta prep for the release of swordsoul y'know
I’ve made it to plat 3 with blue-eyes, and I feel like it’s just like red-eyes, all the blue-eyes extra deck cards are synchro or fusion but the best blue-eyes deck has like 8 xyz and 5 link monsters 😂 since dragoon came out red-eyes has kinda just been mixed into the dark magician engine cuz they can make flare metal too.
Kagari might be at one, but we have Pot of Avarice and Kaiser Colosseum legal. The deck is definitely tier 1.5 IMO, it almost single handedly got me to plat 1 with an absurd win streak.
Disclaimer. I am a returning player and only have like 40 ranked games to my name so I am a tiny sample size.
I have played a very budget pure zoo deck and I have not lost to Tri brigade. Perhaps I am just matching up against newer players like myself but they all go down the same line or play to try and banish your play during your turn. The. They try to do it again on their second turn and doing so leave themselves no monsters to fight back if you slow them down.
I am just curious what skilled pilots do beyond. Set up trap for ominous or make an access code.
I used pure utopic deck from rookie till silver. Then sky striker from silver till reached gold. And my last deck is pure cubic deck and reached platinum and pushed to platinum 4.
The only reason I managed to make cubic deck work is because people don't read and lot's of negates.
Im sad to not see my Madolches hit tier 1.5, but you know what, with those comments on the sheer fear that Madolches can cause, I'll accept this slight against my people.
That said, I do think Madolche's best strength is that people never really remember them. People have heard of it, but never quite know what they do, and those people always get caught off guard when the deck pops off. It may not be the strongest, but we almost always have the element of surprise and that makes running Madolches so much fun.
For my Endymion deck, I found Spellbook Wisdom to be a good tech against Droplet and Dark Ruler.
As a Virtual World player that made his way to Plat, it's good but never felt like a tier 1 deck to me. Bricks easily with bad starting hands, can be shut down easily by plenty of decks, True King can still be destroyed and dealt with through spell/trap cards. I guess I'm missing something.
No one expects the Superheavy samurai train getting double defense hitting for 9600
Surprised to see SPYRAL not on this list. Would be interested to hear where you’d rank it?
It's a sad day when I spent so many gems and UR points making the most competitive Galaxy eyes deck and my sub par thunder dragons are finding way more success even tho I've been playing galaxy for years :( such cool cards, what a bummer
Got Plat 1 this season playing Spyral over my Dino deck 🤙🏾
Season 1 I got to plat IV with blue-eyes, but it is brocky AF, and too dependant on Draglubion most of times. I've changed to sky strikers and I'm grinding gems for Madolches. Any suggestions for blue eyes?
Gonna say wheres the Gladiator Beast at. But if i had to place it, it would be tier 1 due to it using Tri Brigade as a engine. If i break your board even a little i can go full combo which has me popping multiple cards on their board, and throwing out Domintianis to stop Nibiru. Than i can end on a board of Dom, Tamer Editor, Simorgh, Herk, and a wind barrier statue. Funny thing is every one else that throws out barrier statue cant protect it from attacks but Glads can with Dom. Honestly still a great deck to play.
Also hoing to mention Timelords as a rogue deck. Beat out drytrons and eldlich.
havent played Yu Gi Oh since i was a kid. just got back into it & its hard to get the jist. can you make a beginner guide?
I put together a Lyrilusc/Zoodiac pure XYZ deck to practice for the event and... It's really good. I miss taking Simorgh and Apex ofc because I made it with the festival rules in mind. But it's still getting me wins in Plat.
could you find a way to get me the deck profile? been looking for something to build on my alt account that will work in high level competitive as well as the upcoming festival
@@julianreyes1063 I lookedand couldn't really find a way to share it, even if we follow eachother. Seems like that is somehting sorely missing. I'm mostly running 3 of all the lyr monsters +3 slower swallow and 2 d.d. crows.for zoo i just run whiptail and thoroughblade. You use lyr to get on the field without using your nomal summons, then use your nomal to bring in zoo, after you cracked through all the enemy interactions. Big extra deck items are: all the lyr and zoo xyz's, Zeus, and Draco utopic Future (as well as the crad youw ill rank up to it from number F0.)
What's your opinion on Live Twins?
Blue-Eyes is about the only regular deck where i can brick and still win
Where you got my Guru control/Unchained bois at?
Underrated deck is guru. I hit plat pretty easily with it. Definitely at least rogue. Could be tier 2
My mans Cali always reminding me to keep having a good day. Great video as always G.
I play BE and has gotten to plat4 currently.. but I'd say Be has a chance (less than 10%) fighting against decks that are not Eldlich when they have skill drain.....
Virtual World in Tier 1 and I'm like oh so I really do play it bad hahahahaha welp back to practicing I guess :D
VW is def a tier 1 but it's the deck that bricks the most out of the top dogs. Its also (in my op) the second easiest to use with Eldlich being without question the most brain dead out of all of them.
I would argue that true Draco's ability to not care about ash and Maxx c at all would put it higher then rouge imo. But I think kragen control is fun so what do I know
What are your thoughts on Ghostricks?
I did build a decent phantom knights deck, but somewhere in some pack i got a royal finish chimera megafleet dragon , that makes me really wanna build a cyber dragon deck after this, is it worth it?🤔😂
Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon coincidentally PREVENTS Tri-brigade Revolt and mass pendulum summons. I guess it's got that going for it?
Idk but i think many are sleeping on Utopia. Ultimate Dragonic Utopia Ray in a deck running most if not all DZW, ZW cards can be hard to out
I had an opponent goof and let me chalice their herald, and it basically won me the game. I was very pleased.
Dinos have TK Lithosagym at 3 too so ive been loving playing with them
Eva at 3 while kagari at 1 feels so unfair.
Well I got mopped up by blue eyes once. If they go off they are pretty good. But most of the time I clean them up.
Yooo that blue eyes roast. Gotta say i've lost to blue eyes once but i've never seen a dark magician win.
Id say galaxy eyes should be higher from my experience using it
Because it's pretty easy to OTK if you go 2nd
Me watching this as I play empty jar and jinzo: "interesting"
How does Mekk-Knight and the Invoked variant fare?
What about the Tri-brigade zoodiac version? Can It compare to pure Tri-brigade?
Infernoids are the best rogue deck yo! 7 win streak in plat 1 rn with my purgatory babes 🖤
I'm gonna try my machina deck in master duel to see if it's better when facing maxx c compared to earth machine. Too bad ruinforce isn't in the game yet and I'm testing a dpe variant in ygo omega.
I don’t play Master Duel, but… VIRTUAL WORLD BEST DECK LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm trying to climb with Blue eyes and it's been good for now, yesterday I had 9 win streak and got into gold 2
While Galaxies aren't any better than maybe tier 2, I definitely got to disagree on them being that bad. But I am biased, I main them.
you had me at "What's going on?" instant sub
To this day I have yet to see a single Virtual world player in ladder
I’ve literally faced one and got whipped hard. King of calamities is no joke
I was going to say the same thing I haven’t once gone against a virtual world player and I got to plat 3 with superheavy and kaijus
I have two different platforms I play on and both in Plat. I play VW and throughout my time playing on mobile and Xbox, I have only ran into 4 other VW players lol. Played on the other day and match took an hour. Other than that, I mainly just run into eldlich, drytron, and tris every since I hit silver lol
I would like to see Invoked Shaddolls in the next tier list
Meanwhile, I am just chillin here in the corner with my Toon deck 😅
I´m platinum 1 with a Zombie World - Eldlich deck. So it is possible even as a more fun and weaker version of an Eldlich deck.
Is it safe to assume that because my Black Luster Soldier deck wasn't on here that it's bottom tier? I mean I kinda expected that after some of the duels I've had in ranked XD
