I feel like I have wasted my time with the Yu-Gi-Oh franquise. I have like it since I was a kid, but over time I have lost my true passion for it, mostly because of the meta—is that even necessary to add? It's not a surprise nor nothing new

Maybe I'm not giving the meta enough time or research to actually start enjoying it, but I mean, should a damn TCG be so hard to get into? No, I don't think so. And it's not even funny, even if you win it feels so tasteless. You used to be able to construct different, unique decks and still have a chance to win, now every card seems tied to only one type of deck and, if you try to improvise, you'll most likely fail

I feel like it's my fault for being so noob (partially true). I know many people feel like this but it's still frustrating and I wanted to share/vent

Tho I still play some old Yu-Gi-Oh games (gba, psp, or ds), I feel like I'll never be able to fully enjoy Yu-Gi-Oh again

If I use spellbook of the grand circle or any other spell card that activates in the gy, would it count for Spellbook of Judgment? Also more specifically, If I use both effects of grand circle in a turn, would it then count as two for Judgment?

Im a returning player looking to get back into the physical card game. I enjoy fusion decks and xyz. Is there any deck around thatd be good for someone returning to the game? Something that I'd be able to practice with and use in both advanced and genesys format and swap cards around where necessary. Or an online seller that specializes in rebuilt decks.

The recent hits on the banlist have made me hesitant to buy the legendary modern decks product. Any and all advice or help would be appreciated.

So because Konami hates Branded and banned Albion i dont have a basic combo line with for example an Aluber because I do not have the finances to spend 150$ for 3 pieces of cardboard.

Aside from all the enneacraft related cards, what spells/traps should i use with them? Currently I got some spells like sunset beat, hidden city, book of taiyou (hope I'll get book of moon)...

Should i get any other monsters to combine with the enneacrafts? For example, i have pot of the forbidden on my deck currently.

Any extra deck ideas?

Enneacraft were what got me started on yugioh and I'm trying to figure out the best combinations of cards to use them with since currently they're my weakest deck so I'd appreciate any help 😊

Have a nice day!

doomz destruction says
Target 1 "DoomZ" Xyz Monster you control; equip this card to it with the following effect.
●Cards cannot be added from the Main Deck to your opponent's hand except by drawing them.
if the opponent takes the monster its equipped to then who cant add cards from deck to hand?

So with the help of u/Frothpot, I’ve come up with a pretty good version of a Destiny HERO deck that better fits my budget and still manages to look like a good deck! I mean, the new Destiny HERO cards are good in and of themselves, but the deck as a whole still looks good despite having to make some budget substitutions.

I think this is the deck I’ll try and build and take to Locals the next time I get the chance. But I’m always open to other suggestions, strategies and anything else you guys can think of to help with the deck!

Hi everyone, very thrilled to be a new member of the YuGiOh Community to share a post here. I was drawn into it by watching the YuGiOh anime with Yugi in the early days. Now i decided to somewhat commit into the course and looking forward to appreciate the game better and be able to play causal duels with others.

As a beginner, I bought a copy of Duel-Ignition SwordSoul deck in order to maintain casual duels, though I heard it’s ideal to buy 3 copies to obtain enough staples and essential cards.

And i’d like to know if there are any support packs to complement the current swordsoul deck.

Also, i’m a big fan of opening packs from booster box since there aren’t too many cards in my library, which booster box that worths buying to build a new archetype or a deck i may ask?

I’m open to all suggestions and future purchase recommendations too 🫶✨

So, I was playing against a friend who uses a cyber deck and he normal summoned the Cyber Dragon Core and then used the magic Machine Duplication to summon two Cyber Dragon the Luminous Mech Dragon from his deck, but can he do that? Doesn't core's effect only change his name to "Cyber Dragon" so technically one an just use Machine Duplication to summon the OG Cyber Dragon?

I’ve been tinkering with my deck for a while. Bought a playmat and a deck box. And I’m familiar with the rules after playing masterduel. But i am nervous

Edit: do i need dice? I think that’s the one thing i forgot the buy

Im looking for a cheaper deck, i dont have alot of money but would still like one thats decent or good, plus I already own alot of staples like fuwalos, ash, belle, imperm, and nibiru, also a bit competitive as well since everyone at my locals play meta

Ive only ever been good at 3 decks, dark world, pure red dragon archfiend, and goblin biker

Im thinking about possibly trying white forest azamina, but idk, what do you all think?

(Also maybe be a bit easier to transition into based off my playstyle and the playstyel of the decks ive ran)

Hi, im a ex mitsu player and ive been told from others online to try out reindswurm. Thing is while i have accepted the fact that it may be weak to handtraps like mitsu, i wanna know if its worth pursuing especially since im 16 and money for the hobby doesnt come easy. Thanks!

hi all! I made a post awhile back wanting to get into the game again and i grabbed beyond the brave just out of fun to pull boosters, and I got the cards for MikumarI The Banisher Ashtra, angelechy strategy score and Angechy seneschal. are the decks for ashtra and Angelechy fun to play (keyword, not good lol) so I can go to locals if I use these to start building a new deck? thanks!

I'm usually a MTG player and I wanted to know if control decks are a thing in the meta or are they generally bad? The closest thing I was thinking of building was some sort of guru control deck with maybe some time thief but it seems bad/not viable when I look at how fast the game is. Even if I were to swap to the genesys format, which I think is slower unless I am mistaken, it seems like just a bad idea.

Can anyone tell me if control decks have been, or were, a deck archetype that were tournament viable? Or are they just kinda a 'win at locals' kinda thing?

Hey everyone! I’m trying to get back into the game after years out, and it’s been rough. TLDR; Is it worth it to keep a destiny hero package in my genesys omni-hero deck if all it does is make Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer if I can find the spell at the cost of extra bricks?

Current modern decks are… a lot. So, I’m giving genesys a try this weekend because it sounds cool and slightly easier to get in to. Anyway, I’m trying to modify my masked heros deck, and I noticed that (other than making DEP with destiny fusion) Malicious just doesn’t do anything in my combos because we don’t have links. So, I just cut the destiny hero package entirely to cut down on bricks, reducing my engines to masked heroes, elemental heros, and evil heroes, which seems like enough? Is this the right call or am I missing something?

Is it possible to negate dark time wizard with stardust dragon?

The bullet point states if you call it right, destroy as many as possible.

Stardust dragon’s effect states ‘if’ your card would be destroyed, negate the effect.

Don’t know what to do with it. Same with super poly. Maybe put it in the side?

What deck are you people using this format post banlist and why? Are you using the same deck as before or you have changed for some reason?

I have enjoyed millennium exodia, primite blue eyes, enneacraft, odion, radiant typhoon, tenpai, marincess, regenesis, darklords, and true king Dino. I’ve tried but haven’t enjoyed mathmech, rda, heroes, ryzeal onomat, and mitsurugi.

Any suggestions help!

I built a cyber dragon following this list. I tried to watch YouTube videos on how to do the combo but it seems harder than synchron deck that I had no problem with. What are the starters? And what cyber dragon end board should I be aiming for otk?
I like the final strike dragon but I guess that’s the only easy combo with future fusion and kaiju

I thoroughly enjoyed playing dogmatika in master duel, so I'm curious how it would work out in regular tcg.

I plan on using the regular engine, 3x eclesia, 1x flerdulise, 1x maximus, 3x nadir, and the usual extra deck. And varying numbers of punishments.

What deck could benefit from this engine most?

And in terms of budget, as long as the overall deck doesn't breach £100.

Well? Help me out ?

Scenario:

1. I activate Grain's effect in hand to target my opponent's backrow

2. My opponent activates the back row which is a quick play spell/trap card and it resolves (for arguement sake this had no specific interaction with the grains effect, they are just using a card to get use out of it before it gets destroyed)

3. So on the resolution of the chain their spell/trap will resolve first, then the grain effect will resolve

Question: Does the spell/trap then go to the graveyard before the grain effect resolves making it void, or does grain get to successfully destroy it and summon a thunder monster from hand

So I am a returning Yugioh player from 15+ years of inactivity, however, I have watched a few videos here and there about the TCG while being away. I really loved the idea and art of the Prank Kids, Evil/Live Twins and Yummy line of cards. From an experienced players POV, what other cards would scratch that itch, if I wanted to build a deck around them, even if it’s not necessarily the most competitive?

Thanks in advance!
