Blue Eyes Deck = Brick City

[Phazon]

I'm really trying to enjoy all the new support for Blue Eyes and play something outside the meta but should still be competitive enough.

However I'm convinced this game rigs your hand to be absolute trash, vanilla blue eyes is always stuck in your hand, the couple one of's are glued to your hand as well. Like no way this is real

Ehhhhhhhhh? If you're going to make this topic, shouldn't you have just gone with the classic "brick-eyes dragon"; Also playing "outside the meta" while playing blue-eyes is questionable...

If you post your deck here, I'm sure some other people could make recommendations.
It's not very often that I see a BE deck end on a board with 6+ control effects, but they seem to pretty reliably get out at least 2.

Alternatively you can always post all b.eyes content here..... I swear it's not a trashcan 🤞

The one halfway-credible claim of "rigged hands" is that higher-rarity cards are more likely to appear. This is normally a good thing given that most of the handtraps you want to see are UR, but it cripples Blue-Eyes for obvious reasons.

I see your rigged RNG, I raise you 1 second coin toss card

what can you possibly recommend? lol
the deck list is just like everyone else, with the only real variation being what small non-engine package you decide to run

FWIW, the next pack is primite so...now it can be its full meta glory (unless they do what they've seem to be doing lately and withholding a few key cards)

I have noticed I tend to open with True Light in hand a LOT, which anyone familiar with the deck knows is an actual worst-case senario. But right there is also the catch, "I noticed". You will always notice those times that stand out as usual or remarkable in some way, such as opening that one-of brick.

What you tend to have a harder time retaining are the unremarkable matches where nothing in particular stood out as being noteworthy and you were able to play more or less normally. Those are the matches that blur together, and always feel less frequent because of that. It's a hardware problem everyone has to some degree, no one's excepted but many people aren't even aware of the fault.

I am convinced some sort of japanese Oni of gambling controls the game or something given I brick with even Azamina-Snake Eyes (All handtraps going first or all the spells)
But the Demon is also a goof, if your deck is FUNNY enough it will allow you to win out his own amusement.

Example, I beat Azamina Snake-Eye with U.A because the Oni thought it would be funny to not give my opponent an out to Dreadnaught Dunker in this 1 in a 1000 board state A-SE produces.
Similarly I beat Voiceless Voice with U.A. because Imperm + Dunker + Jersey beats the board with a little help from Tactics Talent.

But the Oni gives and takes, I faced nothing but 5 stun players in a row going second with Yubel. Then U.A. allowed me to make a comeback when the sixth stun player could not out a 4200 attack U.A. Midfielder.

If anything what your deck needs are MORE bricks and much like how Grass appears in the hand of every Branded player ever alongside crossout designator, you will feel your deck will be more consistent if you take into consideration a literal Japanese demon from folklore controls the game. I faced a BED player that managed to summon Magia, Dragoon and everything else and the Oni allowed to happen because IT WAS hella funny.

Actually you can be "excepted" depending on what catches your eye. As in what is important to you. Someone who doesn't actually find bricked hands negative won't have them stand out. To be clear yes its a bad opening hand, but that doesn't mean it has to negatively affect you. The reason this kind of bias happens is because humans remember negative experiences better.

i have the same experience as you but mostly when going second, is it the same for you?
i used to think BE as a brick but going second it can come in use since u need one Sage,maiden,veiler to go into spirit and etc..

Brick eyes ultimate Brick dragon,

The main win condition is literally throwing a brick at your opponent.

Thankfully Block Dragon is coming back to put the Brick Dragon in it's place

True enough. In my case, I consider any opening hand in Blue-Eyes that does not contain either Maiden or Sage to be a brick regardless of what else it might have to work with, so statistically speaking at least 1/3rd of all games I experience are a brick in my eyes. This makes "Bricking" not noteworthy to me, and I attempt to play through it regardless. Usually end up surprised to come out on top at the end of such matches.

No, because I'm an outlier that disproportionally wins the coinflip and goes first. I still end up with a number of searchable one-ofs clogging up my hand, such as True Light or the vanilla dragon. There is no such bias or favoritism, it's simply luck.
