How to counter Eldlich deck?
How do I counter it? There is some cards I need to craft or there's some "gap" in their chains where i should stop with handtraps or stuff like that?

Always bring a Grave Digger. That should help.

called by the grave, feather duster to remove backrow, macro cosmos or dark law for preventing them to go in the gy etc...

Play VW, go Shenshen Chuche pass
Called by the Grave Eldlich the Golden Lord when he activates his graveyard effect.
Other than that you basically need 4k attack with targeting protection since Eldlich has a hard time getting past 3500 attack without setup. Not that 4k attack and targeting protection is auto win, Eldlich can go into Superdreadnought and Zeus to get into 6000 attack and higher or pop the field while also having Super Polymerization + Zombie World.

The deck is grindy and robust so there's no "I win!" button but with a good T1 deck you can keep pace and counter them.

Whatever you do, don't try and destroy their backrow, it's almost pointless because the traps will just replace themselves or be chained to your destruction. Only time it works out is if you use Evenly Matched or another card which deals with multiple backrow cards at the same time.

Pop skill drain. Deck pretty much dies after that.

Definitely not, Eldlich runs skill drain because the Golden Lord turns into a 3500 attack beater under it while allowing you to turn it off by summoning Eldlich from the grave when needed.

Extra deck can deal with backrow. I play dinos so if I pop skill drain I can Misc and just set up my negates uninterrupted.

Eldlich is so retarded op... sometimes i cant do smth ... they really should at least limit eldlich too 1 so ot wouldnt be such unfair...
Manoroc Jan 24, 2022 @ 7:48pm 
Most atupid thing is that eldlich can easilie full set up in turn 1 so if you dont get the right handtraps there is nothing you can do he counters just everything....

The first thing is to read the cards that eldlich decks usually use. Past this point you should know how to roughly neutralize the deck's strengths. And a combo deck should have an advantage because they fill the field before an Eldlich deck can reach its full potential.

Eldlich deck gets all they need in turn 1...

there is hand trap that makes cards instead of going to graveyard banished for one turn

Problem is when i dont get the right handtraps at turn 1 im ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Eldlich will set up in 1 turn and just negate everything...

To add onto this, you can try Karma Cut on their Golden Boy when they have 2 more in the GY and 1 on field. But this implies it's later in the turn and if you're even considering running Karma Cut.
