@@shifter.mp8877 Why mald? This time it was a quite objective (and accurate) review, sufficient piloting and a good display of the deck's strengths and weaknesses. Ok it missed a Baronne he didn't have to burn 3 Gils or go for Patent vs Flunder but it's totally fine for someone that doesn't know the deck inside out. The other video on Stevie was just "if everyone says it's X, i have to say it's Y to be different + a lot of bias"
Can’t wait for 2022 to be the distant past, so we get legacy support D/D/D Zuckerberg and D/D/D/D Elon Musk. The cards use Bitcoin counters and can spit out NFTokens.
DDDs are so complex not even the DDD community can say you’re playing them wrong because not even they know how to play it right 😔🤣 (It used to be my main deck)
The way he not play synchro approach kinda triggering me because synch variant can make better board. But, high king caesar is just too good to avoiding nib. too bad there's still no good lv 6 main deck for now.
Tbh its not more complicated then other combo decks. D/D/D was one of the first deck I tried to build back in late 2016 when I started to play Yugioh (was ready with the structure in feb 17) ddd isnt more complex then Spyral, Guki, Denglong Dino, Pendelmag as examples
@@yato7030 My point is more that ddd isnt hard to play. You have certain pieces you need to get and your contracts, Kepler and savant will get you there. Then its just combo. Depending on your extenders you can have slightly different endboards but thats the same in any other combo deck. Once you get your pieces together its just the combo. Those spreadsheets just make it look complicated but if you know what the line is its pretty easy to know how to get there.
This version is pretty easy. You make gil and everything goes from there. The build with cerb and reiji is better though if you are in the US. Play a few test hands or make the pre bach version on a master duel alt account, they play similar except the bach cards drive this deck over the top.
This is like the 10th D/D/D video I've watched this week and I'm gonna be watching more. This deck is the reason I have any interest in this format, because it's a combo deck not playing adventurer or dpe or sycthe or halq.
I'll take that "top of tier 2" all the way to the bank. I know DDD has limitation. That is fine, I won't pretend it will become meta overnight because of some good support, to reach that level you need "unfair" support, wich the new support isn't. It's really good, but not "unfair". I'm just glad this new breath of life in the archetype has brought some attention to it, kind of the same way the new synchron support brought a bit more attention to it. Let's be real, any for of legacy support that isn't DM or Gx related has been long overdue. Bring over the stardusts, ddds, utopias and let the BE DM and Heroes rest a bit.
Tbh I don't know if it's the top of tier 2. I feel like aleister and swordsoul are a bit better, with both of those decks being kicked to tier 2 after the adventure stuff came out.
I really just love the deck archetype. The art so cool, dark support is super varied, the grind game and combo potential are both high and best of all it's a strategy that you can constantly be revising and thinking harder about. It genuinely feels like the penultimate yugioh veteran deck. And best of all it isn't at risk of getting any of its cards banned. Unlike terrortop for speedroids which will likely never come back to 3.
They are also pretty much exactly what the deck needs. More lv4 pendulum monsters as well as something to slap on a stray gilgamesh. Gryphon also makes kepler into 1 card full combo if you play cerb and reiji. Its pendulum effect is also great in case you hard draw a scale so you set gryphon with gil alongside the scale you need and then pop gryphon via its effect to summon it back later. Can't come soon enough.
@@luminous3558 Also, you can finally add-in handtraps. Unlike the Synchro Variant, which requires specific cards for combos so Jack in the Box, Where Arf Thou and Allure is a must.
I will say that the Floowandereeze matchup gets a lot easier with siding. EDIT: I also could've tried tribute summoning the Nibiru to put Vice Typhon in grave, and if he didn't chain Punishment to Vice Typhon's activation, High Genghis would've cleaned up the game. Both plays lose to an early Punishment, but it was really the only shot I had. My bad for not seeing it in the moment.
That's every Flunder match up though. The deck is so unbelievably bad going second and doesn't have too much protection to sided going second cards when they go first again in game 3.
Well in DD's case, they have Dark Contract with Eternal Darkness, a searchable trap card that prevents the opponent from using monsters on the field for Tribute Summoning. So they either have to open Uknown Winds or a staple removal to out this card, or else they just lose.
I can't believe they fixed SO MUCH about ddd with TWO CARDS. we FINALLY get a new starter/extender other than the Big Three, AND an actual GOOD boss monster instead of ending on shitty bosses and generic extra deck negates
Yeah gryphon is exactly what the pure build wanted. Another lv4 pendulum, it also happens to just do everything. Machinex is just free negation that you just summon with whatever you have at hand. Someone at konami definitely played the pure d/d/d build and snuck this support in.
I like DDDs, I'm a huge fan of nonlinear board building, and I have found a ton of fun to be had with them. I personally like playing one bright armageddon in the extra, because it makes the board even sturdier when paired with dark armageddon
Hey, I actually agree with most of the choices for this deck! While there are a few things that I personally don't play, and a few ratio changes, mostly due to deck constraints and preferring to maximize consistency over things like handtraps, this is definitely a good list. Well done MBT.
Gotta say, cutting all the unnecessary gas in DDD to add Hand Traps that serve as bridges for Small World is extremely based, honestly best DDD list I've seen.
DDD being my favourite deck of all time I'm glad that it evolved into a midrange deck with potential to pop off in combo or set up some decent control boards it's not the strongest deck but in the right hands is terrifying
Before I use to laugh whenever MBT would make fun of someone elses favourite deck, but now that he has done "D/D/D" I am just disappointed in him and can't believe he would butcher such an amazing deck. jkjk love the decklist, and enjoyed the matches, continue with the great content mate!
I feel as though you could probably sub one of the nibirus for a called by, forbidden droplet, or DRNM. DDD always can benefit from blanket cover for their combos. Otherwise good deck!
The meta doesn’t really benefit cards like drnm, what with scythe running around the meta, and Droplets usually requires you to discard other combo pieces/other hand traps you’d want to use to prevent yourself from being scythe locked.
1) Ragnarok has a decent spot removal effect on field too, which can occasionally come up. It's worth mentioning tho. 2) Thomas's pend effect does actually come up a bit tbh. You usually want to set it and gryphon with Gilgamesh, then use Gryphon to boost and Thomas to recycle Gryphon and go from there.
Thomas also comes up if you opened patent as thats a way to get orthros in hand. But turning Gryphon into a pseudo e telli is wild too. Cheats him out the deck if he aint in rotation
- 10/10 intro - Good piloting (it could be better but this is always easy to do when "backseating" instead of playing the duel) - Honest review As a DDD fanboi, even i wouldn't say it's meta, unfortunately not even tier 2. But it's up to the DD community to place the deck on the map. DDD has a lot of tools but not the "unfair factor" or the abuse of staples/engines other decks enjoy.
@@Savioaryt It's not unfortunately. Deus Machina is only good for combo decks like Synchro Decks or Link Spam, since they need materials for plays and it doesn't negate... No protection either, so it loses to Book of Moon and Man-Eater Bug. Like, come on Konami, why can't you give D/D/D's new boss monster, targeting or destruction protection. D/D/Ds are 2.5 at best.
@@cronqvist5763deus can snatch the mo ye's, taia's, birds and a lot of other things. Idk i feel ddd have one of the more wilder end boards and trying to play through 10 disrupts is a lot. Not to mention they play floodgates that can straight up win you a game. Whats a link deck doing with 1 link summon or hows a synchro deck gonna synch without using the board.
@@thisisiampie6946 That's what I'm saying. Deus Machina is good against Links and Synchros. But is pretty vulnerable to removal spells, especially when Raigeki is at 3. But still, D/D/Ds are pretty good since most boards end up on Siegfried/High Caesar, and a Baronne if they're lucky. And because of the new support, they can now play handtraps instead of 5 frickin' 3 ofs, plus a bunch of consistency cards. Kepler is pretty much a 1.5 card combo now. Griffon is such a great card... Edit: Forgot to mention D/D/Ds floodgate, Dark Contract with the Eternal Darkness. It's a great side/1 of card. Opponent got past Deus Machina? Flip up Eternal Darkness, now they can't Special from their Extra, at all.
That was really good gameplay from probably the hardest the deck has been to play. But yeah, it has a great matchup vs meta going first with how high caesar and machinex work, and just doesnt stand a chance going second.
That intro was amazing,I'm a fan of the deck and I still haven't read all their cards lol Personally I find chaos variants easier to play even if they tend to be bricky but still it's awesome to see the guys at least enjoying experimentation
Honestly, I've played D/D/D for 5 years and this is honestly quite disappointing. I thought it funny when the Ghosttrick and Altergeist communities raged at you but I know, now I know. How DARE you say only the literate can play this, I have been illiterate my whole life and I can do Gilgamesh lines.
D/D/D Flame High King Gengis is one of the most weird cards i ever read. His Spell/Trap negate is only during your turn, not in both players turn. Why Konami did this to me.
@@user-ou7lb3ne3g Correct. The important thing to note with High King Genghis's effect is the fact it doesn't actually negate the card's effect for the whole turn but rather the initial activation, so you bypass the contract burn in that one instant during the Standby Phase, but you still can use its good effect to search, fuse or whatever else, depending on which you're running.
@@darobi Not really, decks with RNG like Cardians and Lightsworn have a difficulty of their own. My greatest issue with Cardians is not immediately recognizing which card does x thing. About overall difficulty, i believe full combo megalith OR the new BASED deck (on db grinder, swordsoul tenyi auroradon punk brave mix) are even harder than DDD because they have very unique ways to get into their combos (for example when you see a "brick" an other sees full combo). DD on the other hand are jjust extremely punishing to misplaying and that's their difficulty, not the convoluted combo lines.
@@babrad I kinda disagree. Cardians are just tedious to read, deck building is easy since the deck is extremely xeno and "combos" are just activating whatever you have in hand for the most part until you make 2-3 bosses and then lose. Lightsworn? Yee, deckbuilding and playing around stuff is tricky. Idk how is swordsoul Tenyi harder than DDD tho. PUNK is just a bad, bricky way to make halq, Tenyi is just there to out stuff with Vish and maaaybe make lv 9-8 synchro. Then, when these all get stopped by the opponent, you close your brain and ride Swordsouls to victory!
@@boraaksitozgun9912 to be honest i don't like cardians that much so it was a low effort try. My point is that each deck has its own difficulty, for example DDD having specific steps that have to be followed (like a chain reaction), while Lightsworn (mill in general) demanding a very flexible piloting since combos can be RNG, while the new Swordsoul Tenyi Punk Brave has so many engines that if you just copy a decklist you wont be able to understand ratios or maximize its potential. I hope it's clear now, these decks were mostly used as examples
Honestly I think the Piri Reis Map version is better than the small world version. Small world is, in most every scenario, going to grab you either copernicus or kepler, so why you'd choose to *also* go neg 1 due to small world just doesn't make much sense to me. It also allows you to play Imperm over the other handtraps bc you won't need them as small world bridges, which gives you a solid chance to not auto-lose to scythe going second. Idk, I think the list here is fine, but MBT's criticisms of the deck can be pretty easily fixed. Just look at Jacked YGO's current build of the deck and he'll pretty much give you the entire run-down of the deck (for free, you greasy spreadsheet lovers)
hard to justify piri reis map in ddd's... pay half your life points, then gilgamesh is a -1k life point, then possibly needing ragnarok to extend is another -1k.... being left w/ 2-3k life points isnt too good lol.
@Phil Well depending on the current Meta I would argue that the writer of the first comment is correct on his assumption. Lifepoints, if not used for Redox pass or Destrudo pass, are seemingly irrelevant. As long as you still got some. Right now I would try to make the best board possible regardless of the lifepoint-cost. And having ways to dodge scythe are more important than ever.
Piri: 1) can cost you games on the LP, especially if in EU where Rage is illegal. 2) must be sided out game 3 for time reasons. 3) maximizes the 1 card kepler combo like in [1] it's much better in NA 4) can only get Kepler/Coper, demands a normal summon. Small World: 1) can grab ANY DD or even a handtrap of choice 2) doesn't leave you with 2k LP (3k if Rage) 3) can be played game 3 4) hard loses to lancea 5) by playing monster handtraps you don't clog your S/T zones and can use everything (many times you'll find yourself having to choose 1 between droplet/imperm/headhunt to set due to 2 scales and contracts) Technically One for One is also a -1 like Small World. But this -1 has the potential to make your hand into one of the "full combo" hands without the risk of RNG (allure/prosperity), heavy restrictions (start of MP / LP cost) or dictating a certain path that will limit your plays (normal summon of Coper/Gryphon, giving up on Baronne immediately)
@@babrad Considering that most people are maining lancea right now, I'd still say that Map is the better option. Also, the LP usually never comes up bc you're popping the contracts on their turn, or if you're super worried about your LP, you just go into D arc and gain it all back. You can also Siegfried negate your own spell on both yours and your opponent's turn to play around the burn if that's what you really need to do. Also, you don't need to go "Full combo" with DDD anymore, so taking an unnecessary neg 1 isn't optimal. That "certain path" limiting your plays would be like if Tenki could've only searched Ratpier in zoo format. 95/100 times, you're searching your starter. It also makes it so you don't have to run Eccentrick in your deck, which is functionally a brick
@@ryanhall5360 totally agree on Lancea. Many times you skip Siegfried for Baronne Caesar Headhunt, so if they just bait Baronne and you don't have Rage/Coper in scale you are almost losing on your own. IMO as soon as people learn to play effectively against the deck this will become a huge issue. Having 2k LP opens you up to really unexpected otks, especially with Droplets everywhere Eccentric isn't that huge of a brick. It has an excellent scale 7 so you can use it with Kepler/Gate 1 card combos. About "full combo" having easier access to swirl 3 card combos is very important to play around interruption while setting up and Baronne is our best tool. By "certain path" I mean that depending on your normal summon post Map you can even guess your opponent's hand if you are accustomed to the deck, making interruption even more effective.
D/D/D is a complex deck that requires a lot of work to do to make it work? Sounds like my kind of deck… says the Flower Cardian and Lyrilusc player looking for a third deck.
It isn’t gonna help interrupt the opponent so it’s usually just a combo piece,if you survive the battle phase with a low number of life points wave king caesar will end you by 1000 life point cost for every monster summoned back
@@Restrictted that isn’t worth running non combo cards in the deck nowadays,it’s all about making a board to stop your opponent from getting far at all and Caesar is just a combo piece
D/D/D's don't have the ability to destroy it's own cards for combo potential (unlike, say, Unchained), so Wave King Caesar's effect is way too situational. The only way I can really see getting any use out of it is leaving it on your field during your opponent's turn, and bank on your opponent destroying your monsters but conspicuously leaving Wave King Caesar alone, which is a tall ask.
Shame DDD is so close to being teir 1 but misses it. It's honestly a interesting deck and to see it being able to run stuff entirely in it's own eco system is nice.
That is actually an extremely fair conclusion. Its insanely hard. You're probably going to misplay cuz even Pak can't do it right every time. And you need to take a long hard look at it and determine if you're OK with half your losses being because you just didn't see the incredibly difficult to find line.
I think the Dark Contract with the Eternal Darkness is very good and should be played too it's like the Dark Contract with Patnt License but it does not lock you opponent out of Links but out of Synchro XYZ and out of using monther on the field as fusion or tribute matrial so it beats Monarch and Super Polymerization your opponent can also not target monsters you controle with Spell/Trap effects if you don't want to play it in the main deck at least side deck it since it can auto win against some decks.
I've loved D/D/D ever since the structure came out. Not because it was "the big brain deck but because it was a complicated, decent and interesting combo deck I could pick up for about 35 bucks. This list reafirms D/D/D's standing as just that. A decent combo deck that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg and is actually self contained. NixDolores and MBT did a real good job getting this deck back into the spotlight on the "not quite meta" stage. Welcome back my differently dimensional pals! Let's go Fusion, Synchro, XYZ, Pendelum and Link summoning once again!
Hey, you uploaded this on my birthday! Didn't see it until now, but as a DDD liker I am very pleased. Honestly, I don't think Vice Typhon is worth running, especially if you're already running D'Arc to get a 7, especially over Called By or a second Ragnarok--which, yes, you can set from deck, but not if you draw it, and this can genuinely cause some problems. It's hardly a bad card to draw either. Running it over Vice Typhon would have helped you quite a bit in that last Flunder match. Small World honestly seems like a much better choice for the deck than Allure, which a bunch of people run and I've personally never liked in DDD--it's just too hard to get back banished monsters. Have you considered Gamma as an alternative handtrap, though? It's incredibly powerful in DDD (or any deck that uses light/dark, really) paired with Chaotic Ruler, can be used as a Small World bridge into any of your 0/0s, and if you run Ghost it's a super easy way to get into Baronne. ED space is pretty tight, but personally I've found that a third Gilgamesh usually isn't necessary, especially if you're able to get into Baronne more consistently and pop your own cards instead of needing to use them as xyz->link material. Anyway, really enjoyed the video, and you definitely made me consider some card choices I hadn't before. Not sure if you'll see this comment, but thanks for sharing!
@@catsarecool9773 what you can do instead is scale orthros and any 6 or higher scale, then pop the scales with orth after pend summon so you can scale rag. This will work out for the majority of hands in my experience since it is so easy to access the combos
i feel the problem in game two was that they didnt use nunu effect to send a card to graveyard. i dont know their list, but they could use ramifications to make the caesars atk 0 and search for a reptilianne, like vashki, normal summon the nauya, attempt to summon the nunu in grave, make KOTFI, get the lvl 2 reptilianne that can make their opponents monster atk 0, discard it, then summon vashki eating the 2 ddd, then use spawn to get 2 materials for a link 2 like shocktrooper from there they can attack for 4500, and have you take another 1000 dmg while also removing a klot from your board
While you were Scythe locking, I studied the combo line. When you were activating Fusion Destiny, I mastered the flowchart. While you wasted your days playing Eldlich in pursuit of floodgates I cultivated contracts. And now that the format is on fire and the Adventurers are at tier 0 you have the audacity to come to D/D/D for help? Actually a more neat deck now than when it was this copypasta. With 10 spaces to put whatever you want there it's impressive what D/D/D can do.
This deck looks pretty sick, a whole lot less hemogenous then some decks feel like these days, If any D/D/D players get mad about this its undeserved because this list is based
One of my favorite cards is Galileo. Just because of WHO he was and the MOTION in Which you use the card. Also notably he was their hand trap, in my opinion, a hand interaction is what is needed to boost this deck to the apex of competition.(or...just give us D/d Brownie already...)
hardest mechanic in any pendulum deck is literally all of the reading and the worst part: i unknowingly picked ddd as my first deck and had no idea what to do
Needs less hand traps in my opinion. D/D/D is one of those decks where you need to see multiple combo pieces without seeing specific multiples on certain hands. replacing the nibiru’s with allure’s makes sense. Desires isn’t a bad 1 of either since the deck plays a lot of 3 of’s. I still think its potentially correct to play halq and multiple lamia as you want more ways to play around potential hand traps. I understand the wanting to play outs to the scythe lock for going 2nd, but i think thats better left for games 2/3.
MBT, if I may be so honest, I worry about your health when you set out to define yourself by how much other people are annoyed by you. You're a hilarious person but not because of that.
I haven't played with the new support yet, I had been playing a more synchro focused build for a hot minute but this looks pretty solid despite it's short comings.
d/d/d being meta relevant at all is really awesome to see imo even if it's just as a rogueish tier deck bc i built it for fun back in 2020 when master rule 5 changes got implemented
I came expecting bullshit or a bastardisation of the deck, ended up happy, made me reconsider some ratios in my deck, personally I dont like the field and the typhon but small world was mind shattering, no need for random draws with allure or trade in and innate handtrap integration, really good video and deck
To being honest i was an old school player, till i played master duel i started to get the idea of xyz, syncro, pendulum and link summons, then i started with a rather mediocre phantom knight deck and i saw the complexity of some combo decks, i was pissed on how complex the game became and searched for an easy deck choice, then i met the D/D deck, i'm glad that i stuck with it 😊
Could I get a deck rating? 3 of: Swirl Slime, Necro Slime, Nighthowl, DC w/The Gate, DC w/ Dark Swamp; 2 of: Kepler, Kaiser, King Rage, Newton, High King Alex, High Genghis, Gilgamesh, d'Arc, Maxx "C"; 1 of: Lamia, Ghost, Lilith, Copernicus, Beowulf, Dark, Bright and Purple Armageddon, Yuga, Machinex, Oblivion Ragnarok, Human Resources, DC w/ Witch, Entities, and Patent License. The remaining 7 will be left to discretion due to them being outside the archetype.
The reason I specialed the Orthros there was because I was going to be short materials to extend past the Baronne if I didn't trigger the Genghis. I would've been left with just Baronne and Kepler on field with Gryphon sitting uselessly in the graveyard.
@@eldritch_crafts Yeah it was. It's 4:30 AM as I'm typing this so I may be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure making Baronne there as your Nibiru insulation instead of High Caesar keeps you from getting to one of your other end bosses.
Hey nice deck, but I have some changes that I would personally make, that being small world for pri res map given it being the nuts in the deck, not running typhon or Thomas for 2 more lamia and replacing the archfeind with an extra ragnarock edit:oh also, eternal darkness over patent
The skit calls D/D a Pendulum deck, and while that's technically true, it seems misleading. Maybe it's the fault of this sort of Post-meta-relevancy era of hyper-combo oriented Trifunoski-esque Magician/Endymion(Maybe Metalfoes too?) lists that have sort of cemented their way into becoming synonymous with the label of "Pendulum", but I can't help feeling like Zefra, D/D/D, and Abyss Actors fall into some other sort of category. Not to say that there's really any concrete system of Taxonomy for deck types in a card game, but D/D doesn't feel like it's a part of the... uh.... for lack of a better word, the THINK THAT I'M INVISIBLE type shit. I was hyped for D/D when the Structure Deck was announced, and after the 7-or-so month delay I played the deck for a few weeks and took a break from YuGiOh after realizing it was dogshit (at least compared to Zoodiac) and repeatedly going X-4 at locals. I don't really know, I guess I don't have the authority to cancel you, because I can't really claim to be part of this "D/D community", but as a part-member of the Pendulum community, I appreciate your multiple TMT's on Pendulum Magician enough to forgive my two grievances. 1: that you referred to D/D as Pendulum, and 2: that you refuse to read the 181-word Holy Scripture that is Endymion, The Mighty Master of Magic. Okay, now to watch the rest of the video. Anyway. Love your content. Get owned, liberal.
I think its good that D/D/D is different than the Pendulum spellcasters, I don't like that people treat Pendulums as if they were a single archetype instead of a mechanic comprised of multiple archetypes each with their own playstyle.
From this day on, mbt's name will be a slur in the D/D/D community. This is the first time I have noticed that mbt wasn't playing the highlighted deck in the bo3. That's kind of cool to have someone good with the deck to play a confusing deck like this

Tbh its not more complicated then other combo decks. D/D/D was one of the first deck I tried to build back in late 2016 when I started to play Yugioh (was ready with the structure in feb 17) ddd isnt more complex then Spyral, Guki, Denglong Dino, Pendelmag as examples
@@BaxsStudios gouki, Pend magician Denglong dino were all easy but I agree that full power spyral was hard to play going 2nd
@@yato7030 My point is more that ddd isnt hard to play. You have certain pieces you need to get and your contracts, Kepler and savant will get you there. Then its just combo. Depending on your extenders you can have slightly different endboards but thats the same in any other combo deck. Once you get your pieces together its just the combo. Those spreadsheets just make it look complicated but if you know what the line is its pretty easy to know how to get there.
MBT nearly developing vocal fry by the end of the card by card is all you need to know about the archetype.
The fact that had to spend 10 minutes in a 20 minute video explaining what the deck does says it all.
I love this archetype so much, it’s a real shame I need a nintendo power guide to understand the combo lines sometimes
Lmao. Same.
This version is pretty easy. You make gil and everything goes from there.
The build with cerb and reiji is better though if you are in the US.
Play a few test hands or make the pre bach version on a master duel alt account, they play similar except the bach cards drive this deck over the top.
This is like the 10th D/D/D video I've watched this week and I'm gonna be watching more. This deck is the reason I have any interest in this format, because it's a combo deck not playing adventurer or dpe or sycthe or halq.
I'll take that "top of tier 2" all the way to the bank. I know DDD has limitation. That is fine, I won't pretend it will become meta overnight because of some good support, to reach that level you need "unfair" support, wich the new support isn't. It's really good, but not "unfair". I'm just glad this new breath of life in the archetype has brought some attention to it, kind of the same way the new synchron support brought a bit more attention to it. Let's be real, any for of legacy support that isn't DM or Gx related has been long overdue. Bring over the stardusts, ddds, utopias and let the BE DM and Heroes rest a bit.
Tbh I don't know if it's the top of tier 2. I feel like aleister and swordsoul are a bit better, with both of those decks being kicked to tier 2 after the adventure stuff came out.
I really just love the deck archetype. The art so cool, dark support is super varied, the grind game and combo potential are both high and best of all it's a strategy that you can constantly be revising and thinking harder about. It genuinely feels like the penultimate yugioh veteran deck. And best of all it isn't at risk of getting any of its cards banned. Unlike terrortop for speedroids which will likely never come back to 3.
Im still waiting for better cipher bosses
@@riroufudo Volcanic players: me too kid
God I can't wait for these new DDD cards to hit Master Duel. I made a deck on it currently but this looks freaking insane...
Yeah, and DDD cards shot significantly up in price....
They are also pretty much exactly what the deck needs. More lv4 pendulum monsters as well as something to slap on a stray gilgamesh.
Gryphon also makes kepler into 1 card full combo if you play cerb and reiji.
Its pendulum effect is also great in case you hard draw a scale so you set gryphon with gil alongside the scale you need and then pop gryphon via its effect to summon it back later.
Can't come soon enough.
@@luminous3558 Also, you can finally add-in handtraps. Unlike the Synchro Variant, which requires specific cards for combos so Jack in the Box, Where Arf Thou and Allure is a must.
Pog ddd is coming to master duel
and it only took them 6 months to add the Battle of Chaos cards to master duel. God i'm not going to miss having to use Lamia for my combos
I will say that the Floowandereeze matchup gets a lot easier with siding.
EDIT: I also could've tried tribute summoning the Nibiru to put Vice Typhon in grave, and if he didn't chain Punishment to Vice Typhon's activation, High Genghis would've cleaned up the game. Both plays lose to an early Punishment, but it was really the only shot I had. My bad for not seeing it in the moment.
That's every Flunder match up though. The deck is so unbelievably bad going second and doesn't have too much protection to sided going second cards when they go first again in game 3.
Well in DD's case, they have Dark Contract with Eternal Darkness, a searchable trap card that prevents the opponent from using monsters on the field for Tribute Summoning. So they either have to open Uknown Winds or a staple removal to out this card, or else they just lose.
Floo is gonna be such a pain in Master Duel...
Stopping flunder after side isn't that hard they already suck going second add removal to that and they basically can't play
I can't believe they fixed SO MUCH about ddd with TWO CARDS. we FINALLY get a new starter/extender other than the Big Three, AND an actual GOOD boss monster instead of ending on shitty bosses and generic extra deck negates
Deus is also excellent as a free summon to trigger a revive effect without committing more resource
Yeah gryphon is exactly what the pure build wanted. Another lv4 pendulum, it also happens to just do everything.
Machinex is just free negation that you just summon with whatever you have at hand.
Someone at konami definitely played the pure d/d/d build and snuck this support in.
@@luminous3558 Machina isn't a negate but he is definitely a nightmare to play into
Pure endboards weren't that bad, tbh. 2 Solemn Warnings off High Caesar and an S/T negate off of Siegfried is nothing to scoff at
I like DDDs, I'm a huge fan of nonlinear board building, and I have found a ton of fun to be had with them. I personally like playing one bright armageddon in the extra, because it makes the board even sturdier when paired with dark armageddon
Hey, I actually agree with most of the choices for this deck! While there are a few things that I personally don't play, and a few ratio changes, mostly due to deck constraints and preferring to maximize consistency over things like handtraps, this is definitely a good list. Well done MBT.
Gotta say, cutting all the unnecessary gas in DDD to add Hand Traps that serve as bridges for Small World is extremely based, honestly best DDD list I've seen.
DDD being my favourite deck of all time I'm glad that it evolved into a midrange deck with potential to pop off in combo or set up some decent control boards it's not the strongest deck but in the right hands is terrifying
Before I use to laugh whenever MBT would make fun of someone elses favourite deck, but now that he has done "D/D/D" I am just disappointed in him and can't believe he would butcher such an amazing deck. jkjk love the decklist, and enjoyed the matches, continue with the great content mate!
I think MBT already pissed off the D/D/D community in his various rants about the deck on stream.
D/D/D, the deck so complex you damn near need an instruction manual to play it.
That's what everyone I have ever heard talk about ddd's says.
@@Nick1921945 And frankly, it is not true. The combos are relatively linear, and the only difficulty about them is how long they are
I feel as though you could probably sub one of the nibirus for a called by, forbidden droplet, or DRNM. DDD always can benefit from blanket cover for their combos. Otherwise good deck!
The meta doesn’t really benefit cards like drnm, what with scythe running around the meta, and Droplets usually requires you to discard other combo pieces/other hand traps you’d want to use to prevent yourself from being scythe locked.
dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it
Say what?
This deck is based as fuck. Gilgamesh is one awesome card.
1) Ragnarok has a decent spot removal effect on field too, which can occasionally come up. It's worth mentioning tho.
2) Thomas's pend effect does actually come up a bit tbh. You usually want to set it and gryphon with Gilgamesh, then use Gryphon to boost and Thomas to recycle Gryphon and go from there.
Thomas also comes up if you opened patent as thats a way to get orthros in hand. But turning Gryphon into a pseudo e telli is wild too. Cheats him out the deck if he aint in rotation
I played DDD during the two weeks before Zoodiac ruined the metagame, and this is a cool list
- 10/10 intro
- Good piloting (it could be better but this is always easy to do when "backseating" instead of playing the duel)
- Honest review
As a DDD fanboi, even i wouldn't say it's meta, unfortunately not even tier 2. But it's up to the DD community to place the deck on the map. DDD has a lot of tools but not the "unfair factor" or the abuse of staples/engines other decks enjoy.
Solid rogue option?
hold on, not even tier 2? smh
@@Savioaryt It's not unfortunately. Deus Machina is only good for combo decks like Synchro Decks or Link Spam, since they need materials for plays and it doesn't negate... No protection either, so it loses to Book of Moon and Man-Eater Bug. Like, come on Konami, why can't you give D/D/D's new boss monster, targeting or destruction protection. D/D/Ds are 2.5 at best.
@@cronqvist5763deus can snatch the mo ye's, taia's, birds and a lot of other things. Idk i feel ddd have one of the more wilder end boards and trying to play through 10 disrupts is a lot.
Not to mention they play floodgates that can straight up win you a game. Whats a link deck doing with 1 link summon or hows a synchro deck gonna synch without using the board.
@@thisisiampie6946 That's what I'm saying. Deus Machina is good against Links and Synchros. But is pretty vulnerable to removal spells, especially when Raigeki is at 3. But still, D/D/Ds are pretty good since most boards end up on Siegfried/High Caesar, and a Baronne if they're lucky. And because of the new support, they can now play handtraps instead of 5 frickin' 3 ofs, plus a bunch of consistency cards. Kepler is pretty much a 1.5 card combo now. Griffon is such a great card...
Edit: Forgot to mention D/D/Ds floodgate, Dark Contract with the Eternal Darkness. It's a great side/1 of card. Opponent got past Deus Machina? Flip up Eternal Darkness, now they can't Special from their Extra, at all.
i sometimes come back to this video just for this intro. It´s so sweet.
As a dd player your plays was absolutely amazing, good stuff mbt
That was really good gameplay from probably the hardest the deck has been to play. But yeah, it has a great matchup vs meta going first with how high caesar and machinex work, and just doesnt stand a chance going second.
The deck plays through 4 negates. Then attack with the rank 10 and slap Zeus down. It's solid going 2nd.
Still one of my fav anime deck Declan makes this worth useing alone
A thumbs up for the opening bit alone.
As someone who plays D/D/D, this list is pretty sick. I like it, and honestly I think this is the best that the deck has ever been
That intro was amazing,I'm a fan of the deck and I still haven't read all their cards lol
Personally I find chaos variants easier to play even if they tend to be bricky but still it's awesome to see the guys at least enjoying experimentation
I am part of the DDD goons and I really enjoyed this video, I think you did pretty well for someone without a spreadsheet :D
D/D/D MBT is GG no REE
Really like this list, feel like you could have cleaned up that flunder match by having a sideboard to get rid of the nib for that game 3, good stuff!
Thomas scale Effekt is amazing if you can read its a +1 every turn
Honestly, I've played D/D/D for 5 years and this is honestly quite disappointing. I thought it funny when the Ghosttrick and Altergeist communities raged at you but I know, now I know.
How DARE you say only the literate can play this, I have been illiterate my whole life and I can do Gilgamesh lines.
D/D/D Flame High King Gengis is one of the most weird cards i ever read. His Spell/Trap negate is only during your turn, not in both players turn. Why Konami did this to me.
it was designed to negate self-burn effect of dark contracts, probably.
I find that it comes up a lot for follow up plays against trap decks, also it works well as a ddd name and gy summon which isn't using smol ghengis
@@user-ou7lb3ne3g Correct. The important thing to note with High King Genghis's effect is the fact it doesn't actually negate the card's effect for the whole turn but rather the initial activation, so you bypass the contract burn in that one instant during the Standby Phase, but you still can use its good effect to search, fuse or whatever else, depending on which you're running.
I met MBT today with my friends it was AWESOME to finally meet one of my favorite youtubers!!
D/D/Ds confuses me more than *Flower Cardians*, and that's saying something.
Cardigans just draw and synchro, so yeah.
@@darobi Not really, decks with RNG like Cardians and Lightsworn have a difficulty of their own. My greatest issue with Cardians is not immediately recognizing which card does x thing.
About overall difficulty, i believe full combo megalith OR the new BASED deck (on db grinder, swordsoul tenyi auroradon punk brave mix) are even harder than DDD because they have very unique ways to get into their combos (for example when you see a "brick" an other sees full combo). DD on the other hand are jjust extremely punishing to misplaying and that's their difficulty, not the convoluted combo lines.
@@babrad I kinda disagree. Cardians are just tedious to read, deck building is easy since the deck is extremely xeno and "combos" are just activating whatever you have in hand for the most part until you make 2-3 bosses and then lose. Lightsworn? Yee, deckbuilding and playing around stuff is tricky. Idk how is swordsoul Tenyi harder than DDD tho. PUNK is just a bad, bricky way to make halq, Tenyi is just there to out stuff with Vish and maaaybe make lv 9-8 synchro. Then, when these all get stopped by the opponent, you close your brain and ride Swordsouls to victory!
@@boraaksitozgun9912 to be honest i don't like cardians that much so it was a low effort try.
My point is that each deck has its own difficulty, for example DDD having specific steps that have to be followed (like a chain reaction), while Lightsworn (mill in general) demanding a very flexible piloting since combos can be RNG, while the new Swordsoul Tenyi Punk Brave has so many engines that if you just copy a decklist you wont be able to understand ratios or maximize its potential.
I hope it's clear now, these decks were mostly used as examples
As the only person in the Crystron community, I would love to see you piss them off next :)
As someone who enjoys your attempts at the deck i second this
Hello HardLeg, I damn much enjoyed your Yugi Humor the last year or so. Keep it up!
Honestly I think the Piri Reis Map version is better than the small world version. Small world is, in most every scenario, going to grab you either copernicus or kepler, so why you'd choose to *also* go neg 1 due to small world just doesn't make much sense to me. It also allows you to play Imperm over the other handtraps bc you won't need them as small world bridges, which gives you a solid chance to not auto-lose to scythe going second.
Idk, I think the list here is fine, but MBT's criticisms of the deck can be pretty easily fixed. Just look at Jacked YGO's current build of the deck and he'll pretty much give you the entire run-down of the deck (for free, you greasy spreadsheet lovers)
hard to justify piri reis map in ddd's... pay half your life points, then gilgamesh is a -1k life point, then possibly needing ragnarok to extend is another -1k.... being left w/ 2-3k life points isnt too good lol.
@Phil
Well depending on the current Meta I would argue that the writer of the first comment is correct on his assumption. Lifepoints, if not used for Redox pass or Destrudo pass, are seemingly irrelevant. As long as you still got some. Right now I would try to make the best board possible regardless of the lifepoint-cost. And having ways to dodge scythe are more important than ever.
Piri:
1) can cost you games on the LP, especially if in EU where Rage is illegal.
2) must be sided out game 3 for time reasons.
3) maximizes the 1 card kepler combo like in [1] it's much better in NA
4) can only get Kepler/Coper, demands a normal summon.
Small World:
1) can grab ANY DD or even a handtrap of choice
2) doesn't leave you with 2k LP (3k if Rage)
3) can be played game 3
4) hard loses to lancea
5) by playing monster handtraps you don't clog your S/T zones and can use everything (many times you'll find yourself having to choose 1 between droplet/imperm/headhunt to set due to 2 scales and contracts)
Technically One for One is also a -1 like Small World. But this -1 has the potential to make your hand into one of the "full combo" hands without the risk of RNG (allure/prosperity), heavy restrictions (start of MP / LP cost) or dictating a certain path that will limit your plays (normal summon of Coper/Gryphon, giving up on Baronne immediately)
@@babrad Considering that most people are maining lancea right now, I'd still say that Map is the better option. Also, the LP usually never comes up bc you're popping the contracts on their turn, or if you're super worried about your LP, you just go into D arc and gain it all back. You can also Siegfried negate your own spell on both yours and your opponent's turn to play around the burn if that's what you really need to do.
Also, you don't need to go "Full combo" with DDD anymore, so taking an unnecessary neg 1 isn't optimal. That "certain path" limiting your plays would be like if Tenki could've only searched Ratpier in zoo format. 95/100 times, you're searching your starter. It also makes it so you don't have to run Eccentrick in your deck, which is functionally a brick
@@ryanhall5360 totally agree on Lancea.
Many times you skip Siegfried for Baronne Caesar Headhunt, so if they just bait Baronne and you don't have Rage/Coper in scale you are almost losing on your own. IMO as soon as people learn to play effectively against the deck this will become a huge issue.
Having 2k LP opens you up to really unexpected otks, especially with Droplets everywhere
Eccentric isn't that huge of a brick. It has an excellent scale 7 so you can use it with Kepler/Gate 1 card combos.
About "full combo" having easier access to swirl 3 card combos is very important to play around interruption while setting up and Baronne is our best tool.
By "certain path" I mean that depending on your normal summon post Map you can even guess your opponent's hand if you are accustomed to the deck, making interruption even more effective.
D/D/D is a complex deck that requires a lot of work to do to make it work? Sounds like my kind of deck… says the Flower Cardian and Lyrilusc player looking for a third deck.
Big love for the flower cardian players
Why does no one use Wave King Cesar's effect. It's literally monster reborn for any of your monster that get destroyed during that turn.
It isn’t gonna help interrupt the opponent so it’s usually just a combo piece,if you survive the battle phase with a low number of life points wave king caesar will end you by 1000 life point cost for every monster summoned back
@@Slither.Wing. why didn't I see this until now? Anyways, you're supposed to combo with Leonidas or Oracle dark. That's how you save yourself.
@@Restrictted that isn’t worth running non combo cards in the deck nowadays,it’s all about making a board to stop your opponent from getting far at all and Caesar is just a combo piece
D/D/D's don't have the ability to destroy it's own cards for combo potential (unlike, say, Unchained), so Wave King Caesar's effect is way too situational. The only way I can really see getting any use out of it is leaving it on your field during your opponent's turn, and bank on your opponent destroying your monsters but conspicuously leaving Wave King Caesar alone, which is a tall ask.
In the first duel you could've added back Kepler off of Thomas and pendulum summoned Thomas! That's one of my go to plays.
Did not know they were originally business themed! Dark Contract with the "Swamp" takes on a new context now. XD
D/d/d is my favorite archetype
Great video!
Shame DDD is so close to being teir 1 but misses it. It's honestly a interesting deck and to see it being able to run stuff entirely in it's own eco system is nice.
Better than it being too strong and getting hit on a list. There will be future metas that allow the deck to do better.
This is only a good thing bro. If you are going to spend money on cards, might as well the be deck that won't get hit but is still good.
That is actually an extremely fair conclusion. Its insanely hard. You're probably going to misplay cuz even Pak can't do it right every time. And you need to take a long hard look at it and determine if you're OK with half your losses being because you just didn't see the incredibly difficult to find line.
I think the Dark Contract with the Eternal Darkness is very good and should be played too it's like the Dark Contract with Patnt License but it does not lock you opponent out of Links but out of Synchro XYZ and out of using monther on the field as fusion or tribute matrial so it beats Monarch and Super Polymerization your opponent can also not target monsters you controle with Spell/Trap effects if you don't want to play it in the main deck at least side deck it since it can auto win against some decks.
I've loved D/D/D ever since the structure came out. Not because it was "the big brain deck but because it was a complicated, decent and interesting combo deck I could pick up for about 35 bucks.
This list reafirms D/D/D's standing as just that. A decent combo deck that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg and is actually self contained.
NixDolores and MBT did a real good job getting this deck back into the spotlight on the "not quite meta" stage.
Welcome back my differently dimensional pals! Let's go Fusion, Synchro, XYZ, Pendelum and Link summoning once again!
Hey, you uploaded this on my birthday! Didn't see it until now, but as a DDD liker I am very pleased.
Honestly, I don't think Vice Typhon is worth running, especially if you're already running D'Arc to get a 7, especially over Called By or a second Ragnarok--which, yes, you can set from deck, but not if you draw it, and this can genuinely cause some problems. It's hardly a bad card to draw either. Running it over Vice Typhon would have helped you quite a bit in that last Flunder match.
Small World honestly seems like a much better choice for the deck than Allure, which a bunch of people run and I've personally never liked in DDD--it's just too hard to get back banished monsters. Have you considered Gamma as an alternative handtrap, though? It's incredibly powerful in DDD (or any deck that uses light/dark, really) paired with Chaotic Ruler, can be used as a Small World bridge into any of your 0/0s, and if you run Ghost it's a super easy way to get into Baronne. ED space is pretty tight, but personally I've found that a third Gilgamesh usually isn't necessary, especially if you're able to get into Baronne more consistently and pop your own cards instead of needing to use them as xyz->link material.
Anyway, really enjoyed the video, and you definitely made me consider some card choices I hadn't before. Not sure if you'll see this comment, but thanks for sharing!
If you hard draw ragnarok you scale griffon, pop itself with its pend scale effect, then scale rag from hand.
@@Aaron0000014 doesn't work if you didn't draw into any dark contracts or keplers though
@@catsarecool9773 what you can do instead is scale orthros and any 6 or higher scale, then pop the scales with orth after pend summon so you can scale rag. This will work out for the majority of hands in my experience since it is so easy to access the combos
Saddest part is that my boy Kali Yuga isn't really played anymore, but pretty nice to see D/D getting the love it deserves.
4:30 I appreciate the arrested development reference

I've been waiting for a DDD TMT for years now. Can't wait to watch this in action.
That was a really fun watch. I think D/D/D's are really cool, so I'm glad to see this deck was able to make some pretty cool moves.
D/D/D is quite a formidable deck.
I think that Flunder game proves why siding is so important. Those Nibiru could have been something more impactful.
Very good jacket in the intro my dude
Does anyone know what/how you use small world in this deck? What are the routes?
1:01 love it
i feel the problem in game two was that they didnt use nunu effect to send a card to graveyard. i dont know their list, but they could use ramifications to make the caesars atk 0 and search for a reptilianne, like vashki, normal summon the nauya, attempt to summon the nunu in grave, make KOTFI, get the lvl 2 reptilianne that can make their opponents monster atk 0, discard it, then summon vashki eating the 2 ddd, then use spawn to get 2 materials for a link 2 like shocktrooper from there they can attack for 4500, and have you take another 1000 dmg while also removing a klot from your board
While you were Scythe locking, I studied the combo line. When you were activating Fusion Destiny, I mastered the flowchart. While you wasted your days playing Eldlich in pursuit of floodgates I cultivated contracts. And now that the format is on fire and the Adventurers are at tier 0 you have the audacity to come to D/D/D for help?
Actually a more neat deck now than when it was this copypasta. With 10 spaces to put whatever you want there it's impressive what D/D/D can do.
0:44 I see this as an absolute win
Holy cow, he didn't manage to heck this up. Well done MBT, the tone in the comments is night and day from the Ghostrick video.
This deck looks pretty sick, a whole lot less hemogenous then some decks feel like these days, If any D/D/D players get mad about this its undeserved because this list is based
This deck is better than you think joseph
One of my favorite cards is Galileo. Just because of WHO he was and the MOTION in Which you use the card. Also notably he was their hand trap, in my opinion, a hand interaction is what is needed to boost this deck to the apex of competition.(or...just give us D/d Brownie already...)
hardest mechanic in any pendulum deck is literally all of the reading and the worst part: i unknowingly picked ddd as my first deck and had no idea what to do
We need to cancel MBT for making Ten Minute Testing 20 minutes. He also needs to be canceled for actually reading his cards. How dare you!
Needs less hand traps in my opinion. D/D/D is one of those decks where you need to see multiple combo pieces without seeing specific multiples on certain hands. replacing the nibiru’s with allure’s makes sense. Desires isn’t a bad 1 of either since the deck plays a lot of 3 of’s. I still think its potentially correct to play halq and multiple lamia as you want more ways to play around potential hand traps. I understand the wanting to play outs to the scythe lock for going 2nd, but i think thats better left for games 2/3.
Yeah 6-9 is best. 10 is too much.
I know this is probably a repeat... But I lost it when the "You'll have to read" hit 🤣🤣🤣🤣

d/d/d being meta relevant at all is really awesome to see imo even if it's just as a rogueish tier deck bc i built it for fun back in 2020 when master rule 5 changes got implemented
I came expecting bullshit or a bastardisation of the deck, ended up happy, made me reconsider some ratios in my deck, personally I dont like the field and the typhon but small world was mind shattering, no need for random draws with allure or trade in and innate handtrap integration, really good video and deck
To being honest i was an old school player, till i played master duel i started to get the idea of xyz, syncro, pendulum and link summons, then i started with a rather mediocre phantom knight deck and i saw the complexity of some combo decks, i was pissed on how complex the game became and searched for an easy deck choice, then i met the D/D deck, i'm glad that i stuck with it 😊
Oh my sweet summer child, if I never heard of D/D/D's I would have finished law school TWICE by now :'(
Could I get a deck rating? 3 of: Swirl Slime, Necro Slime, Nighthowl, DC w/The Gate, DC w/ Dark Swamp; 2 of: Kepler, Kaiser, King Rage, Newton, High King Alex, High Genghis, Gilgamesh, d'Arc, Maxx "C"; 1 of: Lamia, Ghost, Lilith, Copernicus, Beowulf, Dark, Bright and Purple Armageddon, Yuga, Machinex, Oblivion Ragnarok, Human Resources, DC w/ Witch, Entities, and Patent License. The remaining 7 will be left to discretion due to them being outside the archetype.
As much as I disliked his previous takes on the deck, that intro was great and he deserves credit for it.
You don't special Orthos cause it locks you into fiends. Instead you normal summon it and go into Baronne before summoning Gilg.
The reason I specialed the Orthros there was because I was going to be short materials to extend past the Baronne if I didn't trigger the Genghis. I would've been left with just Baronne and Kepler on field with Gryphon sitting uselessly in the graveyard.
@@NixDolores Against the HERO match it was doable though.
@@eldritch_crafts Yeah it was. It's 4:30 AM as I'm typing this so I may be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure making Baronne there as your Nibiru insulation instead of High Caesar keeps you from getting to one of your other end bosses.

The skit calls D/D a Pendulum deck, and while that's technically true, it seems misleading. Maybe it's the fault of this sort of Post-meta-relevancy era of hyper-combo oriented Trifunoski-esque Magician/Endymion(Maybe Metalfoes too?) lists that have sort of cemented their way into becoming synonymous with the label of "Pendulum", but I can't help feeling like Zefra, D/D/D, and Abyss Actors fall into some other sort of category. Not to say that there's really any concrete system of Taxonomy for deck types in a card game, but D/D doesn't feel like it's a part of the... uh.... for lack of a better word, the THINK THAT I'M INVISIBLE type shit.
I was hyped for D/D when the Structure Deck was announced, and after the 7-or-so month delay I played the deck for a few weeks and took a break from YuGiOh after realizing it was dogshit (at least compared to Zoodiac) and repeatedly going X-4 at locals. I don't really know, I guess I don't have the authority to cancel you, because I can't really claim to be part of this "D/D community", but as a part-member of the Pendulum community, I appreciate your multiple TMT's on Pendulum Magician enough to forgive my two grievances. 1: that you referred to D/D as Pendulum, and 2: that you refuse to read the 181-word Holy Scripture that is Endymion, The Mighty Master of Magic.
