Tired of dueling the same decks

[Madow]

I swear if I have to duel another tear/kash/labyrinth I'm going to ♥♥♥♥♥♥ puke. It just seems to rotate between those 3 for the past few months when I duel, the lack of variety is starting to wear on me. Inb4 its competitive, I get it people want to win but I'm baffled by how the other players themselves are not bored. No creativity in the deck building, just copy it off a youtuber or master duel meta and play through the exact same combos over and over.

Have been trying casual lately and that can be a nice reprieve but more often than not its just a newbie whos trying out the structure decks.

Well consider that those players didn't spend all their time playing those decks unless they liked them. many probably only play a couple times per day and one of those games was against you apparently. So they would be less tired than you who is just facing the same 3 decks.

It's hard to not have fun when you run a top deck and get a free win on somebody who isn't. This is a terrible explanation.

The meta is actually really really diverse right now.

While kashtira is really popular because of new support, and purrely increadibly strong because it's still full power in MD, there are still quite alot of other decks that are not that uncommon to face.

Wow calling OP a free win is a little insulting. These decks aren't that overpowering. OP didn't even say they were losing. You can get tired of stuff without losing to it. I know I stopped playing against Floo even though I had a high win rate against it.

Top decks don't just instantly win against everything not a top deck. Some even struggle more against bad match ups with non-meta decks.

Anyway my point is that the players OP is facing don't just sit around playing the same deck all the time. They probably go do other things like hang in casual where they can play whatever. They may even switch between the various meta relevant decks or use fun decks during lower ranks. OP is only seeing them from one side of things which can cause someone to misunderstand the reality. Of course some people just really like to play the same combo over and over even if its not good lol.

I don't think its insulting at all, its true... its a free win, the deck was designed to be much more powerful so Konami can sell it... its capitalism at work. Don't get angry because you play it and your fefe's get hurt.

If you are unwilling to be open to change then you are doomed to fall behind and start to lose sight of the future. Changing with the times is the best way to make the best of things. Imagine how boring the game would be if there was never any change to the format. Game would've died years ago.

Tear sure but they ripped it apart already and Kash/lab are both close to being completely fair decks right now. So there is nothing in this Meta that should be getting free wins.

I think game is hilariously broken and even Konami know this, that's why the latest anime had the protagonist making a new version to put the fun back into the game, Konami know what a problem modern ygo is.

The only people that defend it are people that actually play those decks.

I can tell you this you are wrong on that front Merilirum playing Kashtira given how obsessed he is with chaos I doubt that one Purrely maybe but Kash arnt light/dark

First card game?

other digital card games have much more diversity than ygo, in last 5 games i only faced one and the same deck, kash, that would never happen in hearthstone or mtg arena. for example i played 3 games in a row in mtg arena against mono red, and all of them in fact were built differently, in ygo there is no creativity when building deck, because cards are locked to archetype synergies, that's why it's bad card game design but that's not all, the power difference between decks is also a problem, there is little to no balance in game design, other than limit this ban that.

try to play md just for the dailies, events, maybe rank up, but under no circumstances make this your main game, it will drive you insane

I do indeed have the Purrely cards. Haven't tried them myself yet. Kash I have fooled around with but only as a rank 7 engine for stuff like Gaia. That one card that lets you normal level 7s is epic on its own. Still I have played a little Tear in the past. It was ok but I quickly lost interest and moved onto Chaos Synchro! Chaos Synchro is soo ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good! I also do play Lab. Its quite a fun deck when you aren't using D barrier and EEV.

So I won't Deny any of this. The only thing I can say is that every deck I make will include Chaos so they are almost never the Meta versions.

I started playing plunder lab that's a load of fun but yeah labs great if you ignore the problematic traps it's almost like those are the issue
