Well, it's a good rare, so...

Oh, and if you guys haven't seen it yet:

RE: Yugioh Thread

What in the world is that? Evilswarm, Mind Drain, and Crimson Blader seem to be some really good options to counter them. I like Pachycephalo too.

Play OphionBeetle.dek. Best solution.

I was at the card shop yesterday talking with friends about how Ophion is so broken.
The worst part isn't that it blocks the Special Summons.
The worst part is its ATK is 2550.

...seriously, I hate that thing. It makes my Barkion cry.
 
RE: Yugioh Thread

Lol it forces me to play Gem-Knight Pearl. :( I cut it from my Extra Deck and ran into three Ophion. Tried using Maestroke. None worked. GAHHHHHHHH

By the way, anyone have a spare Kabazauls or Soul Drain? I need one of each. :|
 
RE: Yugioh Thread

Yes to the former, no to the latter.

An Evilswarm deck that focuses on using Number 66: Master Key Beetle to protect powerful cards, such as Ophion, Macro Cosmos, Deck Lockdown, Vanity's Emptiness, and especially Safe Zone. Both of its boss monsters can utilize Eradicator Epidemic Virus as well.

My favorite combo of the deck is to go into Key Beetle, set Safe Zone, then use its effect on the set Safe Zone. When your opponent's turn comes around, flip up Safe Zone and target Key Beetle. Key Beetle is now virtually indestructible, so it can protect another card with ease.

It's fun. I'd highly recommend checking it out--you can get a sample list, strategy, and ideas here.

RE: Yugioh Thread

Hi guys. I haven't really played at all since the Chaos Dragon/Wind-ups/Inzektor/DinoRabbit days.

Would anyone be a pal and fill me in on what's been up with the meta?
 
RE: Yugioh Thread

don, I got some more cards, so if there's anything small you need, LET ME KNOW.

Jay, can't really go in-depth on strategies, but I'll give you tiers imo.

Tier 0
Elemental Dragons/Dragon Rulers

Tier 1
Prophecy
Mermail/Atlantean/Genex
Fire Fists
Evilswarms

Tier 1.5
Macro Rabbit
Chaos Dragons
Dark Worlds
Geargia

And I'm sure there are plenty more than I'm forgetting.

EDIT: Lol here you go. Tier list and stuff.

Will do, if I think of somethin'.

E-Drags are hardly Tier 0. I have to admit, a deck whose graveyard effectively functions as a second hand is incredible, but they're not utterly broken like Yata-Lock, Goat Control with Thousand-Eyes Restrict, the 1-card Future Fusion FTK, and Fishborg Cloudians. E-Drags have their own counters that, when applied, work very well. For instance, OphionBeetle works very nicely. With a Beetle on the field protecting Vanity's Emptiness and Prohibition (preventing the use of Blaster), E-Drags get shut down without something that negates its effect during the opponent's turn, something that E-Drags don't commonly run.
 
RE: Yugioh Thread

K coo. I need dat Kabazauls. Just need one to finish up that line haha.

But I feel I'm literally taking the good majority of my Side Deck slots and devoting them simply to counter them, and quite honestly, I'm not sure how. Maxx "C" is an obvious answer, but what else? I have Mind Drain and Soul Drain. Prohibition is at 2. What else do I need?
 
RE: Yugioh Thread

Deck Lockdown!

RE: Yugioh Thread

It's the Spell Card form of TK! I actually main two TK. These would be kind of annoying.
 
RE: Yugioh Thread

Except Deck Lockdown PREVENTS special summons from the deck. TK just can send itself to the grave to negate 1. Macro Cosmos and Deck Lockdown together basically shut down E-Drags entirely.
 
RE: Yugioh Thread

O_O That sounds wonderful. I think I'm taking my Soul Drains out for those then. I run 2 Macro and 1 Mind Drain in the main, and 2 Soul Drain and another Mind Drain in the Side, so I can adjust accordingly. Good idea bro.
 
RE: Yugioh Thread

If you're playing Dino Rabbits, doesn't Deck Lockdown prevent your own Rabbits from going off?
 
RE: Yugioh Thread

That's why you activate Deck Lockdown AFTER using Rabbit. Even so, you can still have beaters and walls like Thunder King and Snowman Eater up.
 
RE: Yugioh Thread

So, I went to my first ever YGO tourney today! It was a locals, so not very big, like 11 people or so. There were 4 rounds, Match play for each round (but it was Swiss pairings as well, so yeah).

R1 vs Madolche (Lose) (mostly due to dead draw, but dang did he know what he was doing)
R2 vs Fire Fist (Win) (I got Beast out and it was basically gg)
R3 vs Poseidra (Win) (well, more like budget Poseidra. Like buying the starter deck twice. I was holding onto Dark Hole for his Poseidra and Penguin Soldier.)
R4 vs Six Sam (Win) (Only round that went to game 3 for me; I got Beast and Barkion out against him in both the games I won. Also Grandsoil.)

3-1 for a first time irl tourney! Not bad!
