Archetypes that grew on you

[Kitsune GG]

And no I'm not talking about mushroom men or anything moss related. I'm talking about archetypes you originally had no interest in, and now hold some interest for you.

For me it's Galaxy Eyes Cipher/Photon. I've never been big on the 'beefy; dragon archetypes and boss monsters for some reason, but with the Cipher preconstruct; I'm actually doing more research and probably going to make them my next deck.

what doesn't interest me is zodiac. way too complicated for a 2005 player.

But what bothers me the most is that nowadays there is way too much text on the cards. e.g. pendulum. first comes the stupid mile long card text, and then the effect text.

Konami could at least color the effect text differently so you don't have to read all the text x.x

If you don't read all the text, that is your fault not Konami's.

i read it. i have to. but reading the card text is totally pointless because it is not related to the effect of what the card does.

If anyone recognize my posts on this forum, they might have noticed that I am a big supporter of Sky Strikers.

Believe it or not, I hated Sky Strikers at first. I felt like there were too many hoops to jump through for only having a single monster on the field that hits like a wet noodle, when I could be summoning 3000+ Attack monsters with immunities, omni-negates, field wipes, etc.

Yet for some reason, when I looked for a non-tier 1/2 deck that could still put up a good fight against such decks, I ended up with Sky Strikers. Have not swapped (ranked deck choice) since, and as of today, I have climbed to Plat I with Sky Strikers.

Every so often I play Dragonmaids, Phantom Knights, or my crappy Skull Servant deck. But I always come back to my bae Raye. Waifu for laifu.

Synchron Stardust and Code Talkers, because I've only completed those two so far.

Subterrors. Its the idea of getting something out of a flip strategy. Plus they can work with Ghostricks.

If you resolve the effect of Ultramaufs then get a Ghostrick face up on the board with Ghostrick Night, you lock the opponent out of those zones. You can do damage with Ghostrick Mansion.

Still waiting Battle of Chaos for Ghostrick Festival.

Never heard of these three until MD, Pretty Cool.

Plunder Patroll - Cool kappa fish troll people.

Dream Mirrors - give us neiroy the traitor so we can get a busted control engine.

Abyss Actors - someones gotta rep pends at some point.

It is LITERALLY what the effect is. Your inability to comprehend the things you read isn't Konami's fault either.

For me it’s the Timelords. I was trying to go for Cyber Dragons when I started playing Master Duel, and ended up pulling on “Impending Assassination” cause I saw the Cyber Dragons in the card list (before I realized that was just the general pool and not the featured list).

The mix of there nigh invincibility, weird board altering effects, on top of being able to whip them out whenever I need them is the kind of BS that makes me feel like a villain from the anime! Although I guess that makes sense given who actually used them in the anime.

But I do also like that they aren’t just mindlessly broken. They have very clear flaws, and most of the fun I’ve had with them was trying to work around those flaws.

Infinitracks. At first they seemed impossible to get a good field up in one turn until I started figuring out the combos, and now I can usually field a 6000 ATK/Def Dreadnought Liebe with 3 materials attached including an Infinitrack Goliath with Outrigger Extension up on turn 1 unless I get a particularly unlucky draw.

Appliancer - it's surprisingly fun
Burning Abyss - at first the xenophobic nature of the deck disinterested me, then I saw Tour Guide
PSY-Frame - the nature of the deck kinda repulsed me at first, then I tried it for fun and fell in love with it
Yang Zing - I got better at not missing the timing

endymion i have been playing unga bunga decks since forever but i decided to step up my game and pick up a high skill ceiling deck and ended up with this, took quite a while to learn the deck but once you do it feels so good to break eldlich boards going second a putting multiple negates going first

[Wicked]

Blackwing + PK + Raidraptors

Cyber Dragons

Predaplants, sadly they suck at the moment since the support cards are not out and scorpio is limited to 1, yikes.

Salamangreat.

I was uninterested at first, then the Structure Deck got revealed, and I still didn't care, but it started to get very interesting cards, like Gazelle, Stallio, and Roar, and Ash was getting a reprint in there, so, not much before the Structure Deck came out I gave it a try on a simulator.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, it was instant love! The deck checked everyone of my boxes: it's a midrange deck that can OTK on command, that can play basically just from the grave, has an interesting gimmick, and was cheap to build.

Moral of the story, it's 3 years that I pretty much only play Salad.

[MancakeBR]

Honestly.

Cyber Darks, didn't like them from Cyber Dark Impact, didn't like them when they got new support.

Then they got the Structure Deck, bought 3, cause why not, been years since I bought any sealed products. Fell in love with the deck, even though it's just 3 structure decks put together + Monster Reborn
