Best Way to Play Crystal Beast in Master Duel - Conclave Control Deck & Replays

[@NESHYBeast]

If you're interested in learning about Conclave Control, check out the article I wrote for Master Duel Meta! Intruduction to Crystal Beast - masterduelmeta.com/articles/guides/crystal-beast-neshy

Man I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. I don’t get to play irl anymore but I love new Crystal Beasts so much.

[@juangarciac06]

Neshy, my utmost respect for you and your content! It is great to see someone who is passionate about what they do, share its insight to the world. Congrats on the article; Crystal BASED is here to stay!

[@NESHYBeast]

Thank you Juan 🤍

[@ShinyMew112]

god. you dont know how happy i was when this support finally hit master duel! was playing conclave control for MONTHS in the TCG (until i decided to main purrely when that released). when i did try to build a sort of deck for the XYZ's fest with CB's in MD, since pegasus is a 1 card rank 4, something felt... off. and literally it was all the cards that were added with the patch! and because of these cards being added into a duel sim i prefer ive started to learn even more interactions that i didnt know of before! also need to modify my version since it was basically still made with tear in mind (D-Shifter and whatnot) and then my friends keep asking why i dont run the advanced beasts/advanced dark. And this deck is why. conclave control is absolutely a blast and my preffered way to play crystal beasts!

[@NESHYBeast]

Awakening in the Battle Phase hits different 🤍

[@murillogx]

Man with a mission. Do we already have a video in Master Duel? You are the best!!

[@Barnacle121]

Great deck, would love a more in depth guide or combos of this deck

[@NESHYBeast]

You already know more Conclave Content is on the way

[@Barnacle121]

@@NESHYBeast im excited thank bro

[@ElevenBricks]

Dont complain about cards being normal. I need less cards I need to use dust on lol

[@NESHYBeast]

I guess I was more surprised than anything haha. This deck is very budget friendly!

[@StrangelyEntertaining]

I've waited for this day... and it was worth it!

[@iGenetiiXx]

Really good deck bro keep going ! what is the song in the intro please ?

When the conclave is control

[@JJFanonimous]

Neshy the goated CB player. Was waiting for you to give us some content. Thanks for the article in master duel meta. This time of my life is unique. The first deck I have irl is in master duel. Now if it isn’t too much asked an in depth how to play combo would be greatly appreciated. What is the best going first board ? Going second? Those kind of stuff would be insane. Cheers my known fighter !

[@NESHYBeast]

Cheers JJ!! I will make more Conclave Control videos but the first replay showcases the first turn endboard :)

[@franciscogutierrez1082]

Labyrinth it’s a hard match for us right, i think if we go for necrovalley, have a chance but it’s hard anyway

[@michaelshumaker6515]

I think this is an interesting way to play them. I built one based on this just need a few more cards to it. But I played my usual over dragon vs this yesterday. 14 rounds cause we kept bouncing each other's things. Eventually both ran out of monsters pretty much and grave was locked. Then I managed to get a strong attack in and he had nothing to bounce or negate with. Good deck!

[@blueshylove3438]

Awesome video! I always want to play crystal beast so I've been waiting for their support. Will you play other versions in MD and post your twitch replay here? I would love to see more variation and see you play the deck against other deck as well.

[@NESHYBeast]

Yes I have the Overdrive version as well :)

[@sotiriosbardakis5784]

Hello there! Thank you so much for your guide about CB's! It caught my attention and i got into it but i have a question! You dont have 7 different beasts to summon Rainbow dragon so i guess u have it just for the awakening? Sry if i dont know any other way to summon it ,Deck strat is still a bit confusing to me! Thx again for your time

[@NESHYBeast]

Exactly right, you never summon it but it's a requirement for Awakening and Zenith (Crystal Beast Rainbow Dragon)

[@Cool70sfreak]

With FBG being down to 1, this deck can have somewhat bricky opening hands at times (I slotted in terraforming initially in the place of the 2nd FBG). I wound up taking out terra and a single Nemeses and putting in 2 Crystal Masters to help you get a good opening turn if you're missing an important piece or two. It does take up your normal summon to utilize its searching effect, but that's usually not too big of a problem since getting to Bridge of the Heart is relatively easy and top priority on most hands, giving you the CB summon you need to continue your plays. It's not optimal, but it has saved me from being stuck with a hand that just couldn't do much. Cobalt + RBotH pass is really not a good way to begin a game, especially when if you don't have Miracle to give you a negate and facilitate your RBotH bounce on your opponent's turn. The only time it's an issue is if they ash you, and, well, if they ash you with a bricky hand, you were already screwed in the first place.

[@OmegaNitro]

Do you plan on showcasing an Overdrive Master Duel list? Conclave control is clearly the way to go for competitive ladder, but seeing some Overdrive styling on people would be so much more fun!

[@NESHYBeast]

Overdrive video is coming as soon as I finish the thumbnail !!

[@campber9908]

I'm not sure if it's happening to anyone else who has tried using this deck, but the opening hands seem to brick a lot in comparison to some other variants of CB decks. E.g. ones that use Rainbow Neos, Rainbow Overdragon, Mathmech, etc. Also using Awakening of the Crystal Ultimates to Special Summon Ruby Carbuncle or Sapphire Pegasus causes them to miss the timing of their effects, so it really only seems to be useful at searching the Rainbow Bridge cards.

[@NESHYBeast]

I'm not sure how many test hands you've done, the math should be there in terms of consistency. For missing the timing, make sure Awakening is CL1 otherwise they will miss timing

[@reinstriver5432]

Man, I'm so happy the support finally arrived in Master Duel! I've built the deck and I've been having SO MUCH FUN with it! I am missing a few staple cards I'd want to play, but other than that it's all been gucci 😌😌

[@AsianDuelist]

That was quick.

[@BMghost97]

In my opinion in Master duel this deck should play neos fusion 1x and a neos to get to Rainbow neos thanks to anaconda verte, also you are not considering zoodiac Drident in the zoodiac Ramp to zeus

[@joaofranca9771]

Excellent video!!! Just gotta grind some UR vouchers.......

[@Jordanburt4730]

Absolutely love the Crystal Based decks for master duel, thank you for your great videos and explanations NESHY. I noticed this deck and the one on your Master Duel Meta article differ slightly such as taking out the nemeses corridor’s and thunder dragon and adding a third forbidden droplet, which would you say was better for the ladder climbing?

[@NESHYBeast]

The Colossus special is hit or miss, I cut it. Thanks for checking it out :)

[@ArunaUtd]

Ive never really paid much attention to MD because it wasn't very Crystal Based until now.. Man does it have some crazy cards that are legal... Maxx C at 3??!! Colossus.. sheeeesh

[@mullucull3r]

It seems to me you are the posterboy for this archetype so I'm gonna copy every card from this and see where it goes.

[@vietc21na80]

Can this deck be use in tcg? Maxx C got ban but we can replace it with other hand trap right?

[@therealrealwizz]

Neshy visas starfrost. Doesn’t pair with much but would allow crystals to crystaliZe and make barrone being a 6 tuner Pegasus makes it

[@NESHYBeast]

I tested the Visas/Baronne variant in TCG but it was a little too inconsistent

[@therealrealwizz]

@@NESHYBeast I figured I thought it would Be cool Tho since gives the deck a Omni negate that’s easy ish to make

[@tylerruto3299]

On the fence about building this or Rikka. Would it be worth it going forward?

[@NESHYBeast]

It really is what you prefer: midrange or combo? animals of legend or garden ladies?

[@tylerruto3299]

@@NESHYBeast I prefer mid range lol

I love this deck and I have it but I cannot understand how it works. I have it with the cards in your guide in master duel meta but here is a little diferrent... I'm confused. Can you help me with another video from this same deck but with the same cards in your guide pls.

[@NESHYBeast]

What exactly are you confused about? You can definitely cut the Nemeses and Colossus

[@sebastianmoncada9172]

@@NESHYBeast pot of extravagance and prosperity are not in this deck for that reason I got confused. I'm sorry I'm new in master duel and with the CB.

[@NESHYBeast]

@@sebastianmoncada9172 Prosperity is in here! Extravagance is basically just more copies of Prosperity since it's at 1 in master duel. Crystal Beast requires a lot of patience, so don't get discouraged too soon if you don't do well. Take a lesson from each game and improve with each one :)

disapointed with this deck my climb to diamond was bassicaly a huge joke i coudn't pull anything off , and fall back 2 rank lower , even after a lot of practice if think the version pure crystal turbo overdrive is more effective
