What's the point anymore?

Welcome to Swordsoul Simulator 2022. Please take a seat and watch your opponent summon two syncrhos and a DPE so you can press the surrender button to skip to the next Swordsoul player.

Don't worry, in a few months it's going to be Brave Engine city.

The game is just plain unplayable at this point if you just get punished for not playing the unbeatable meta decks.

My Mushroom Man deck destroys all meta decks, just play Mushroom Man

I don't see how that will help...

I prefer Swordsoul Simulator over Drytron the movie with guest star Rhongo.

People will always be playing the most meta options. That doesn't prevent me from styling to the top of plat with Performapals, and it def doesn't get me upset or anything.

It always pays off to be the most interesting person in the room, you know? But like, "being interesting" isn't always what everyone is interested in, and I get that. Some people just actually want to attempt the grind out to Diamond 1 with Diamond 1 being the goal. My enjoyment comes from pushing the decks I like to the highest rank they can manage. Different strokes, etc.

And this ♥♥♥♥ is 100% easier to deal with than Drytons for most of my decks. Swordswords can fall apart to ♥♥♥♥ like Digital Bugs.

Nothing feels better than getting roped by a mad player playing literally the best ♥♥♥♥ out there. It's like a dopamine rush.

I just don't care to play against the same deck every single time.

Playing against the same deck every game means you have the advantage. Idk man. That's usually why sideboarding is a thing in the real game.

I don't want to play a deck that specifically counters swordsoul. at that point you're just falling for the meta.

You could literally tech, like, Lava Golem or (maybe to a lesser extent) Ra Sphere mode and be fine. You wouldn't even have to be "meta", just smart. If you're running decks with literally 0 disrupts or outs to anything, you're going to lose most matches. Even non-meta decks need handtraps in a bo1.

I try to play a kaiju whenever I find that something like this is happening again, problem is that you'll end up having to rely on drawing that card. if you don't draw it in your first hand going second, you're done. if you draw it in your hand at the start, its useless and you're 1 card down in resources. next turn they'll just wipe your field and the kaiju is still useless because you have no cards to kill it with.
it's entirely luck based against a meta deck that is almost guaranteed to get 1 broken meta monster on the field.

Lmao, play crooked cook against Swordsoul.

They run 0 outs.

Yet people still will come like the morons that they are to defend this garbage. The sad fact is the game is getting worse and worse with each new format. At the end of the day yugioh has become a game for people who can only feel good about themselves by not letting others play the game and thinking they actually have skill because of it.

IRL it's still a lot of fun, you can just simply ask a friend to not play a certain deck. on here, no option for that. you're forced to shift through the ♥♥♥♥ only to find out that the kuriboh deck you're playing against still ends up running a card like DPE.

And you keep coming to a game you hate because you're an intellect? Do you not understand how to quit and leave

Here's a question?

Why don't you try to build your deck going 2nd? The only way to "lose" the coin toss that way is if your opponent wants to go 2nd, otherwise, if you win the coin toss you go 2nd, if you lose it and your opponent goes first, nothing changes, that's what you want anyway.

Unless you play something that wants to set 20 floodgates, almost any deck can be tweaked to go first or second, you just change cards around and add some solid going 2nd cards, such as Dark Ruler No More, Forbidden Droplet, Lightning Storm or Evenly Matched.

I don't even believe most people know how to distinguish "go first" or "go second" cards.

I honestly believe most people just netdeck and then randomly assume they should always go first. And I don't even mean "netdeck" in like, a negative way. I'm not that kind of dude.

I know what you mean.

I think it's also something to do with the mentality you keep seeing around, the "oh, if you lose the coin toss you lose the match because opponent sets up 151354656151561085946864168 negates and you can't do anything", and that kinda makes people feel like they must go first and build their deck to go first.
