Duel Trial: RNG Deck

[draconicepic]

I'm starting this post just to hear your thoughts on the event. Honestly, I find this Duel Trial exceptionally lacking. Here is my personal take.

The Good:
1) Rental cards are a cool idea. It gives us access to cards we might otherwise not have or would never play.
2) Having us complete a deck however we want while locking certain cards into the deck definitely interesting. I could totally get behind the idea in the future for more events.

The Bad:
1) Since they didn't restrict the deck size, I've seen a lot of people just making 60 card decks and treating the rental cards are filler. This completely kills the point of the event. The fact I saw someone make a full Tearlament deck in this event is wildly dumb.
2) The lack of card restrictions makes the rental cards practically pointless. At best, they act as fodder for someone to link into Verte and make DPE. There are so many cards that simply overshadow the power of entire deck. In my opinion, Verte and Grass should have been banned for the event.

I want a guaranteed UR at least for playing with the decks they come up with lol

How do you make a "full tearlaments deck" with 3 extra deck slots? One kit, one rulk, one kaleido? Good luck getting to any of your tear names with 30 dead cards in that deck...

I made Orcust by just putting 10 Orcust cards in with Galatea, Ding and Long in the ED. Finished it in 3 duels cause won all 3. Got no SR or UR's.

So just an event i will forget existed tomorrow.

All I have seen is Bystials. Like full Bystials boss and everything actually played.

My deck is a bunch of mismatched Royal Rares I can use in such a low powered format.

I hate rental cards so much, they are normals and rares, i can make them myself if i wanted to, but they take up space that i cant free up, im forced to take these terrible cards like the arcana monsters and i dont have a choice in the matter, its awfull but thankfully in this case the only 3 battles to win is a blessing cause i dont wanna deal with that, nuh uh, like, ffs, i have a Prismatic Foil rare and a shiny foil of Orgoth the Relentless, my first ever prismatic royal rare that i not only ever got in the game, but made, when the game launched, and i couldnt use it because i had to use the basic ones already given, i hate rentals, i hate them so much, but whatever, you only get 1 pack of rares and normals and you only have to battle 3 times or suffer more if you lose, so whatever, glad thats over with, and they didnt ban Phoenix Enforcer which is BULLCRAP, i had to surrender immideatly, that is such bs, they want you to use gamble cards but they allow sweaty meta cards that invalidate the incompetetive luck cards, what the heck konami.

Just proves people will use whatever meta cards are open for use in sandbox event.

I think this is great for newer player. They don't have to invest too much into the deck and just make use of what they have. Imaging now is still Sync event and their loaner decks can be edited, it can help the new player to have a better time. Really like this concept.

As for season player, this is not really cater for you.

Those who asked for a banlist, come on. It is only 3 days and 3 wins. If you are the employee that is task to come up with a balance banlist that is only going to last for 3 days, you won't even give 100% effort.

[Silyon]

My only complaint so far is for my typical statistically improbable luck. The odds of hitting tails on Cup of ace 6 times ins a row is astronomical, yet here I am pushing 10. There's a reason I don't use gamble decks, lol.

Mechanically speaking, the event shows some promise. I actually like the idea of forcing everyone into a largely similar deck, because mirror-matches are one of the only ways to get some degree of skill out of Master Duel. I just question making the debut of these deck building mechanics a literal coin-flip format.

Welcome to the power of That Grass Looks Greener. As I mentioned, you can just make a 60 card deck.

I'm not looking for something as in dept as the events, but they should at least hit problem cards.

I can understand this feeling. I didn't mention it in the original post, but I found the event quite lacking. I just found a few of the concepts interesting.

No banlist lol, people are just jamming their regular decks into wierd atrocious brick piles. Personally I think the meta strategy is to pick a 1 card engine you can fit in with 10 cards or less for less bricking, so I've been playing Normal Summon Aleister with a couple of pots.

Either way, event is pretty awful

Concepts are all these mini events are to be fair. A lot of people complain that they don't do what they want but they miss that these events exist to do anything the devs want. They exist as part of the ongoing development of MD as a whole. They experiment and in the future all these concepts will come together in full events and even game modes.

People not interested in being a kind of Beta tester should just not.
