@Ammokkx

Had a look.

I assume all the decks have to be like your example?

@ItMeGritty

bruh the last two pages have been me doing nothing but critiquing decks

At least try to read the thread

Touche

Very well. Are we using the current banlist?

@ItMeGritty

page 6

Are there any archetypes that are strictly off limits?

@ItMeGritty

page 8 and also this might be relevant

@Ammokkx@Amaranthine
It's been a long day and quarantine got me broken. How's this?

@Kaggs

I know pretty much all of these cards without reading them. This might unironically be the most underpowered deck yet, so

Yeah, this looks good

@Candelabra

anything to add to the conversation or are you just here to dunk on me?

<Snipped quote by Grey>

I wanted to include mirror force in the deck I was building because it was a real fun "Screw You" back in the day (guess it still is, but I digress), but it seemed like a bit too much for my style.

@webboysurf

Mirror force is my biggest "I hate seeing this card" card

Not because I don't like getting blown the fuck out by it, but because I've seen so many people randomly toss it into their deck with no thought that I hate it. It's up there with bottomless for the "you really don't know what you're doing, huh" points. Only, mirror force is worse because it's the one card everyone remembers from Duel Monsters despite it almost never actually going off.

Also, Go getting blown the fuck out is unintentionally hilarious, but outside that one situation, Vrains really made me sick of seeing mirror force as well.

There's only one deck I put it into in recent memory because it actually suited it for once, and I took it out again literally the second I saw someone sign up with a deck with a mirror force. I didn't even wait to see if they were accepted or not; the fact someone else had the thunk of "huh-hey mirror force" was enough for me to pre-emptively hate my own choices.

@Ammokkx Something of this level be a good starting point? I'm just thinking with less of the same cards because of the whole "cards are hard to come by" plot.

@Kaggs

was it your intention to link me a full naturia deck equipped with bottomless, monster reborn, mirror force torrential, heavy storm and trunade? Because this is above and beyond what I'd allow, even if you cut it all down to singles lol

Since posting Deck Lists seems to be cool now, I'll do the same.
Fairy/Cyberse will make sense, I promise

I might swap Night Beam for a cooler S/T removal...
Also Glass Slippers are broken, make me take it out. (But it really fits well in there...)

@Amaranthine

Yeah this looks fine to me.

also you should now know why I leave cosmos a broken man

Figured I might as well toss this out since the offer has been made, and because I got bored and decided to start putting together a deck in between the work I've been doing. The side deck I've been using to just keep in mind a few interesting cards I've found and want to keep in mind as upgrade possibilities.

Starting Deck

@webboysurf

how could I ever reject a deck with cyber barrier dragon in it, you absolute madman

Normally I'd be against this many multiples, but I feel like you put enough reason inside your deck for them being there. One issue I think it that your S/T lineup is a bit boring (I feel like in regards to traps you could get away with something like Fusion Guard, Interdimensional Matter Transporter, Power Wall or Pulse Mines) and that I notice you don't really have any draw options. Your deck is a bit of a resource hog, so to avoid writing yourself into a corner you might want to consider putting in at least 1 way to slightly recover you hand if you need it.

also where the fuck is de-fusion

Otherwise, though, I don't have much at all to complain about here. The above is more suggestions for ways to make me like it more, but it's fine enough as presented here, unless anyone else has any objections.

Well, I may as well put this out on the table, then. Because the Synchros are generic, the deck itself can function without relying wholly on the Mayakashi... Who, really, are here to help get Yuki-Onna out onto the board.

@PKMNB0Y

3/5 synchros, 4/6 main deck monsters, 2/3 spells, both traps and 1/2 link monsters. Your ratio is either half or more than half of every type of Mayakashi, leaving you needing very little expansion room.

This is what I didn't want people to do, as it's still extremely easy to play this like a straight Mayakashi deck. Add to that extremely powerful staples like Call of the Haunted, Evacuation Device, D Prison, Foolish and Allure and I don't think the one Violet crystal really balances things out. The card choices on display here are pretty boring and don't nearly take advantage of the vast card ocean Yugioh has to offer, with most stuff being either well-known or relatively recent (~1,5 generations).

I don't really like the deck, I'm gonna say. You've the chance to run something like Red-Eyes Zombie dragon, Archfiend Zombie-Skull, Revived King Ha-Des or Doomkaiser Dragon (+ assault mode) if you want to go synchro zombies, but are skipping over that in favor of just running what's essentially pure mayakashi retrofit to have the illusion of not being a Mayakashi deck.

EDIT: Also, while not relevant to the critique here, for anyone else reading: If anyone has any opinions on anybody's decks, including my own, feel free to share them. If someone goes at some of my own card choices, for example, I'm willing to debate you on the matter and change up my own stuff. Lord knows LunarStandard talked me out of quite a few poor choices back in DT.
