😂😂😂😂😂 DM saw such a big decline since Branded got limited lmao.... I dont even know why DM players dont use Branded in competitive TCG settings, when they could easily setup a Dragon Knight board with ease. These players cram in a bunch of floodgates & a bunch of handtraps expecting to win, in reality, they're setting up to lose. 😂

The power creep is real. Lab can generate like infinite resources while dm is board-wiped when eternal soul is pop.

[@weebutrash8733]

That was just maxx c

[@shawnpanzegraf5642]

Bullshit it was just the “C.” Lab grinds like it’s a slave on a coffee bean plantation. Giving the archetype multiple Omni-pops, when it’s got searches for the best traps in the game just makes the advantage comparison even worse. Komoney needs to stop with the endless plussing for control archetypes.

Ray fought bravely ❤️

[@TheMacThat]

Konami has players in a loop. The same cheap cards players complain about comes from the same company, lol. So saying DM is bad really isn’t logical because Konami can literally buff any archetype towards the power creep. Like my friend said, Konami has all these cards on the ban list and semi limited, yet literally has archetypes that can win in one turn or prevents you from a proper turn, lol. It’s the same difference. That’s like saying a top chef can’t cook for you, but they can walk you through every step, the meal is more or less the same.

[@mrharvy100]

If he didn't play on Maxx c he still have a chance or maybe if he main deck 3 thrust and harpi +lightning storm he can at least draw the out.

[@SomeRandomGuyOutHere]

​@@critanddam9031no, it does not. The only decks that maxx c keeps in check, are the decks that do not draw called by or ash. It's the most retarded card ever and forces everyone to play an 8/9 card package that, if it did not exist, would allow for a TON more deck building variety and creativity. Maxx "c" is pure cancer

[@NicholasHatley-el4gl]

It's hard enough when Dark Magician isn't good to began with, but when you throw Maxx C In the mix it's just impossible for these Rouge decks to win.

[@mrharvy100]

Sure but let’s not pretend the DM player wasn’t running Maxx C too. He just got unlucky because he ran into a Mu that doesn’t care about Maxx C much. Your not gonna be drawing like 5+ cards against a Lab lol

[@NicholasHatley-el4gl]

@@mrharvy100 You're forced to use Maxx C because it limits deck creativity and because it's the most broken card to ever hit a card game

[@tyrondavis7970]

​@NicholasHatley-el4gl no people just use Maxx c because they're weak minded and would rather play a stale repetitive game then deal with a thoughtful game that they might lose

[@Honest_Mids_Masher]

@@mrharvy100 Acting like everyone having to run Maxx C due to it being a format warping card supports your argument lmao. Also as for the MU if they drew into ash a combo deck would've been able to do their thing end on multiple negates and Maxx C on the opponent's turn and here's the funny thing. Most meta decks have tons of room for handtraps and they can afford to run the Maxx C package and other staples, engines, or extenders meanwhile rogue decks are the ones lacking in deck space any pendulum deck, your favorite little blue eyes deck that's a bricky mess, galaxy eyes, etc all have to run that 9 card package with very little room for staples that counter the meta and have to ruin their consistency if they're trying to fit those staples in. Maxx C helps meta decks more than anything.

[@tatoo777]

After let's say 20 matches...I removed the Dark Hole ...1 Lightning Storm...and 2 Evenly Matched from the deck....and after that i started playing again only against Kashtira...the DEVELOPERS ARE TROLLING in the matchmaking...had to say it ( sorry for the long posts)

[@joseakanino]

You know, that actually isn’t completely out of the question. Activision and their “skill based matchmaking” have been said to do similar things in Call of Duty, like matching players that have premium cosmetics against new players that don’t to “show off” the paid stuff, as well as sending players on a win streak into matches against sweaty try hards to knock them down a peg. After being beaten down enough, they’ll send noobs to this player to give them a “high” again and maybe want to play more and spend money on the cosmetics being thrown in your face. So it wouldn’t surprise me if Konami was to do something crazy like “protect” the players running their current cash cow cards by matching them with decks that won’t give them as much trouble. At the end of the day, this is just a conspiracy theory, but again, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was real.

[@tatoo777]

@@joseakanino This is real 100% ...I played Yu Gi Oh for many years...almost all the games they made...Soo yeah....They are trolling in the matchmaking...I would like to see one of the developers argue with this one...Dkayed cannot say nothing because he is a big KZbinr.....but he knows too ...

Dark magician loops with salvation, magicians combo, eternal soul, and dark circle easy. Also 3 copies of piercing darkness. You can negate use the dark magicians draw 2 extra on your opponent turn and idk works for me

[@adsasd7919]

Yep he is here let's go

[@snakefh]

I just don't get wy the DM player went for Access code 2 times when he had a nice chance to fusion the dragon knight to protect his spell/traps. I mean, this doesn't gives him the win but at least some protection against lab who best monster has 3,000 atk and can't summon from extra deck other than Fiend monsters. Lab doesnt has a lot of cards that don't target or destroy, most of their cleanance is destroy or target, Just protect your Dragon Knight and you have a chance. I say this as a former DM and Lab player.

[@cooldars007]

should have made the access code using I:P at least so it wouldn't be able to destroy
