[Saltposting] Blue-eyes board with 6 (potentially 8 with magia) negations on deck including the veiler in hand

[Zabelfrie]

I'm mostly posting this to blow off steam but I purposefully wait seasons out so I can get demoted to silver so I don't have to deal with this kind of stuff. If you go this hard in silver, go shower.

For those curious, in one turn I had to go through:

1 Blue-eyes spirit dragons (graveyard negation)
1 Blue-eyes ultimate spirit dragon (generic negation
1 Stardust Sifr Dragon (monster negation)
1 Cosmic Blazar Dragon (I miss this being hard to summon)
1 Dragon Master Magia (1 for spells, 1 for monsters and 1 for traps each)
1 Effect Veiler (Searchable hand trap. Juggle my nuts, frankly)

Yes I lost, yes I'm upset

This is a good time to mention this is all without Primite hard carrying them, it's an even better time to mention Primite releases into the game next week

Can't wait to try out some Primite HERO

Now what I have to weigh for my own sanity is whether I wanna know what Primite is

I'm not gonna lie the "juggle my nuts" had me and is still having me crack up. Just know some joy came out of your salt OP, hope the rest of your games are better.

Don't forget that trap card that allows the destruction of up to 3 opponent's cards, even if you manage to play through the negates.

Based on my recent experience coming back and being deranked, I doubt you'll have a much better time even if you drop to Silver. Climbing up from Rookie, people were still using FS, Yubel, Exodia, and BE very frequently. I found more deck variety when I was in Plat 5.

The general and unrealistic idea is that you're supposed to open-hand multiple specific specific handtraps and/or board breakers you need when going second to stop your opponent from setting up a board that locks you out.
The more realistic option is to win the coinflip to go first and set up your own board with control effects to hinder your opponent.

If we are complaining about pure blue-eyes being too powerful, I think we have finally reached the pinnacle of where yugioh should be

Extra negates/removal and setup for decks/archetypes that can utilize normal monsters

Okay to be fair if I can carve out an excuse to use normal dinos out of that then I dunno, man. I might be all right with that

Exactly. Only cards played by the main Protagonists of a series should be the best cards to play. They've be hard proven to be the best. Just watch the anime. Check out those win percentages with hard video evidence to back them up. The only decks that should come close to them in power are those run by the main Antagonists.

If you aren't playing either of those decks. You're just playing villain of the week background npc cards and deserve to lose.

Stuff like this only happens because game have littealy close to zero restrictions on Extra deck cards. Way too many synchro cards with generic 1 tuner + 1 non tuner which can be almost everything.

And stuff like you are now locked to a specific attribute or summon method is way too rare.

It's unfortunate that you feel sad because you made me laugh my tits off with the go shower remark

I'm over it by now but at the time I was crashing out.

That is definitely too many for any deck. Yugioh has a real negate problem it needs to tone down. No one should be able to put out 5 negates.

Sad part is that it has been a problem since 5Ds really.

Cyber Dragons were the warning shot when it came to the Special Summoning arms race and 5Ds helped put it into overdrive.
