@@RobinsAssistant everyone is an all encompassing word. Try not to get mad over meaningless things on the internet.

[@Ironpecker]

1:54:38, I think I wish I was dead's play was among the best one they could have chose. Accesscode is an 8300 atk immune beater, branded had no way to deal with it barring a kaiju, which unfortunately they had, but it was absolutely a bet worth taking imo

[@shawnjavery]

nah, I think he had a line to leathal. Making an transcode talker with update then using update and another link 2 for accesscode would make it untargetable and you'd have a double attacking 4800 monster and a 2800 monster that also would have stopped aluber from being summoned. I'm not the line to get to that point exactly though.

[@mattr791]

@@shawnjavery ignister only plays 1 transcode

[@shawnjavery]

@@mattr791 you only need the one you make access code with update jammer and and splash mage. Unless you need it earlier in the combo, I never really messed around with meth ignister myself.

[@mattr791]

[@captainH023]

While Master Duel definitely have a lot of problem, I actually kinda enjoy the format that we have right now. A pretty diverse one with various competitive decks with Runick being the only thing that I would say is a glaring problem. Kinda dreading Spright and Tear coming bc of that tbh

[@tossapixeltoyournoelle]

The game would improve so much if they finally added best of 3 ranked. I kinda miss side deck options and just kinda exploring deck building aspect of that.

[@cooldes4593]

Havent watched yet but Branded Despia, Mathmech, and Swordsoul feel so much better than every single other deck on masterduel right now. I wouldnt be surprised if this video was just those decks over and over. And i would be surprised if one of those decks won.

[@xCorvus7x]

What do you think of Dragon Link?

[@cooldes4593]

@@xCorvus7x dragon link will always be a playable deck. But its not tier 1, 2, or 3 making it technically rouge. Ruinick, adamancipator, and @ignister mathmech are all much better decks than dragons right now sadly. When it comes to rogue though i would put dragons near the very top.

[@xCorvus7x]

@@cooldes4593 True, the Runick match-up is awful and Adamancipator is too strong if you don't have access to Borrelend as well as Dark Ruler or Droplet. Though, shouldn't you have space for an Underworld Goddess to handle @Ignister or is the Mathmech side too consistently strong after siding?

[@cooldes4593]

@@xCorvus7x even if you underworld goddess their link 6 arrival, the deck should have super-factorial set and it’s extremely hard to play through that as well

[@inakimendiberri2226]

I wouldn't say they are a lot better than the next best options. From what I heard there was guru, marincess, thunder dragon and adamancipator in the top 16, so it's not like only those 3 decks are viable and anything else is in the dust.

[@knmrt2760]

That was great, surprised didn't get to see as much maxx C as I would have expected...

[@Ragnarok540]

That card resolves less than 25% of the time. Anyone that thinks it keeps combo in check doesn't really play the game. It only makes deck lists similar.

[@felipebarreto97]

@@Ragnarok540 It kinda keeps combo in check by forcing them to run the counter package and reduce space for extenders and techs. Combo is usually designed to have higher engine size. Obviously it doesn't always work because sometimes combo doesn't need the space. Mathmech is an example. It makes a great board but engine size is average.

1:54:35 That's why you prioritize aluber in the GY, and as manny of masquerades you can summon, when you lose the die roll, and opponent let you go first. That's probably a numeron player attempts to otk, and gonna have a big surprise.

I think Nibs better sits for removal of really tough to break boards where targeting is out the window. Are there other options? Yeah but not really as a hand trap which helps skirt several different negative interactions. Regardless, Nib in a Branded deck creates massive tokens from my exp buuuut thanks to stuff like Albaz, Super poly and crap like that just funnel him into Albion or something.
