Man this game is rigged af

[DeathArcanaXIII]

I went from D2 to D4 losing all my matches, in all of those matches i draw the 1 copy of the only garnet in the deck, my opp always had Ash/MaxxC + other handtrap in hand, and even when the game was in a simplefied game state he top the deck the 1 card combo... legit getting fed up with this BS, this garbage Tear/Spright meta, + the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ banlist with cards problematic cards all at 3, Konami ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hates this game there is no explanation

[Fatality]

I went second for 17 out of 20 matches yesterday. I don't know what to call this. Bad luck? Rigged? I don't really know, but honestly this game wants to humiliate you sometimes. Feels like they could fix some things with the coin and the starting hands though. You shouldn't lose every single coin toss or start with unplayable hands all the time.

It just do be like that sometimes. Yesterday I lost most of the coin flips and just got cooked back to P2, while today I won every coin flip and had absolute dogwater hands and was barely able to stay in P2

Welcome to card games? It's obvious that the higher ranking players are going to play what is competitive. Eventually, Kashtira will come out and everyone will be playing that. Most people will loose there ♥♥♥♥ about how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that archetype is as well. The likely reason for Tearlament being barely hit is because of Kashtira.

Even if Tearlament and Spright disappeared tomorrow, we'd just be back to Adamacipator, Chaos, and Dragon Link creating unbreakable boards. I will take Tearlament any day over 5+ negates where you can only win by "Drawing the Out." Considering that Tearlament isn't Tier-0 anymore and the last Dkayed Meta Weekly Tournament was so varied with Tearlament not even in the finals, it probably won't get too many more hits. It's likely that Kelbek going to 1 will be the next Tearlament hit.

As to another point you made, pretty much everyone is tired of Maxx "C" making the game sacky and how often if feels like it appears in players despite the odds. I've personally have had multiple games recently where my opponent activated Maxx "C" back to back.

Sometimes = 3 days straight, it just don't make sense

The real question is what deck is the OP playing and why can't he deal with Tear or Spright to have had such a long losing streak. Pretty much any deck can pull unfair bull that locks any other deck out of playing, so what's going wrong?

Optimize your deck better. You can do a deck check in deck builder that gives you 5 cards as an example and then count how many dead hands it gives you. If it gives you too many dead hands you need to do something to reduce that.

If you got dead hands in 7/10 games then you build your deck wrong.

I draw my garnets way more often then should be normal. Like I'm running 3 gamma and always draw my 1 Driver in opening hand XD...

I feel the same way, I have pretty much every meta deck and a lot of casual decks and I just can't find anything that works consistently enough. Firstly, it's not uncommon to get a hand without a single starter and I'm forced to play suboptimally, for instance, set a super polymerization and some other trap and pass the turn with a bunch of Bystial monsters. Maxx C in almost every game, they poke it in my face every time I go first. Needless to say, when I go second I never draw Maxx C or they have an answer for it.. Top deck is incredible in this game, one of my opponents drew A Hero lives with an empty hand left and went into a full combo with just one card. And this happens every time I leave another player even the slightest chance of surviving the next turn.. I can't rely on my gaming experience because what is happening on the ladder is pure chaos.

Is like saying, "What deck are u playing, why are u losing to Tear?" when Tear was Tier 0, anything that wasn't Tear or Floowandereze lose to Tear

I feel that so hard...Yesterday i lost literally every single game due to somehow being hard countered by every opponent i played no matter what deck i swapped to, Always opened garnets, and 3 games almost back to back i opened 3 doubles. one hand i opened every combo piece to one of my strategies making my hand basically 80% garnets so if i got ashed i lost. luckily i had a 3rd copy in my deck and they didn't have ash so i was able to play but like damn. Then another game i finally resolve maxx c only for my next 6 draws to be doups of cards i already had.

I played about 10-15 games yesterday and had decent coin wins/loses. Now I wont start talking about your opponents might be a coin toss hacker cause no one can proof that but

just remember that everytime you lose a coin toss your opponent won his first after playing 4 games losing it.

I won 3 coin tosses in a raw yesterday just to lose it again twice in a raw. Thats just how RNG is.

You can not optimize yourself out of having to include a singular garnet if that garnet is essential to the gameplan or is a part of a negate like Gamma+Driver.
Unless you call making a 60 card deck to lower the chance of drawing the 1 off "improving"

Or not using a bad deck (defined here as "one requiring garnets in 2023").

Right, punk and spright are bad decks, you shouldn't use them because Gamma+Driver could never be a good negate
