Soo blackwings

Anyone got opinions on the birds

They do combo's. The bosses are pretty strong if they can make them. I get them mixed up with Raidraptors all the time. They are kinda fragile. A little disruption seems to ruin them which I imagine is why they don't see much play.

[bradymax137]

you're not wrong to an extent but due to there swarming capabilities you can very easily get full armor master on the field who basically says no to card effects at worst you have to hold back a turn or 2 due to a brick hand but then again i'm in gold using em doubt i'de fair well in plat or higher

With a decent Meta match up I don't see any reason you couldn't reach diamond 1 but yes it would be a bit rough once you get to Diamond. Up there everyone is running counters to things much stronger than anything I have seen from Blackwings. Of course as you said they have nice boss monsters its just a matter of reaching those bosses and then not getting Kaiju's or something.

Current Meta is basically decided by how well you handle Runick. So if you can handle Runick you are probably good. IDK if any of those bosses are both untargetable and deal piercing but Chaos Max basically hard counters Runick so if you have anything similar you could probably do fine in the current Meta. Not sure bout branded though.

I just know my matches against them usually turn into bullying no matter what deck I am using unless they reach full power due to me not having any interruptions.

i haven't really faught branded but i just insta scoop agains ruinics i really dislike them and i have found ways of getting full armor on like turn 2 but it's inconsistent at best but oh boy it's fun since it's a 3k that tells your card effects to ♥♥♥♥ off and give it a golden crossbow to make it stronger

Personally think theyre fantastic with the new support, very good at Synchro spamming and getting advantage through their own effects, extremely fun casually and can be tweaked to have a more competitive side, but don't expect to go painting the town red with the deck, its not meta or anything like that, but it is very very fun with the new support, so if you wait for that I think you'll enjoy yourself, probably be a while though 😕

EVERYONE can climb to gold. You literally cannot lose rank below gold so eventually anyone who plays enough will rank up from DC's, bricks and random surrenders alone. Its kinda strange but gold is the lowest actual rank where all the weakest players actually reside. People in lower ranks than gold just haven't played enough since last reset or at all.

Full armor master is straight up unaffected by card affects. I don't think runick has an answer for it.

Their "out" is to target him anyway for the banish-mill rider and have enough disposable monsters to drop in defense position that you deck out. It's like how Bird Up's out to cards like that or Crooked Cook Exodia is to attack directly with Assembled Nightingale until you hit 0 LP.

Blackwings have A LOT of issues in master duel. Things that don't make sense. Some cards that have effects that state "If you control a blackwing monster" don't work if the monster is set or face down, even though you still control the card. Full armor master makes no sense, it specifically states, "unaffected by other card effects" - yet there are spell cards that still affect it, like one that makes it so you can't attack unless you discard.

Sorry for resurrecting the posts here, but thought it wasn't worth making a new one just for this.

I used to play Blackwings about a decade ago, so I built a deck in master duel to try it out since I know how the deck works, and don't want to have to learn a deck that spends 20 minutes setting up a combo, even if it isn't as competitive as the meta decks.

Bro this thread is almost 2 years old.

That's true of ANY card that says you must control a specific monster, if it is face down the monster's name and type do not exist.

Full armor master makes no sense, it specifically states, "unaffected by other card effects" - yet there are spell cards that still affect it, like one that makes it so you can't attack unless you discard.

That's because the card you are referring to affects the player, not full armor master. YOU must discard a card to declare an attack, it has nothing to do with your monster.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
