0:09 If the OCG is an indication, Tidal will come back to TCG soon 0:55 how much the deck changed in 11 years

[@user-kh7zf]

It really is unfortunate that cards like the Rulers are stuck on the banlist for so long that the formats where they would be good without being game-breaking or disruptive have long gone. And I doubt adding more Rulers to the pool will make a meaningful difference, considering their own effect restriction.

[@Monroah]

Dude the second I saw this notification, I got locked tf in. Like, I don't expect them to be the best deck, but I can't not see how a former tier-zero would fare nowadays.

I've been enjoying them as unbrickers in master duel dragon link, but they definitely wouldn't be worth it if we had wyverburster, the third quick launch and an extra 2 saronir.

Literally full power on MD. It just costs way too many URs or I would've messed around with them. Just missing Super Rejuvination but that hopefully stays the case.

[@XmortoxX1990]

Meawhile in MD, ALL Dragon Rulers are unabanned, with acces to Tomahak... And it flopped. IF these were released like, 3 or 5 years ago, they would've have a chance to be relevant again, but clearly they spent more time in prison than they should

dragon rulers are less good with maxx c around

[@nsreturn1365]

they were rares also in og prints. xD, We all know why they never came of. Just look at shs,..or how quick and sus unchained got hit. We have no poor people jokes for reasons in ygo rn. Every cheap deck gets hit while expensive stay.

[@N12015]

@@xatuyou8045 Technically also Maxx C, but it doesn't interrupt their plays, just gives you a bigger stick to punch them with the next turn, which is still quite good considering the importance of Priestess + spellbook of power + the master in the mirror, not to mention spiritualist BS just destroying all special summons; there's a reason why the rulers were never tier 0, or why in HAT Spellbook decks are still top tier even with nerfs.

Finally, Twenty Minute Testing

[@thatguy-nk5wu]

Tidal is back

[@Secr3tYT]

I've been working on a water dragon cluster deck for like the past week, specifically for the fireking and snakeyes. Ive tried labrynth with rollback and bonding-dho to summon water dragon cluster. Ive tried pure water dragon with trade-in and sacred sword of seven stars with a small dino pack. Kairyu-shin & water dragons, but i think the most consistent so far has been water dragon/icejade. Mermails are good too. The bonding/chemical archetype needs support so badly. 😅 I'd appreciate any help if anyone more well-versed in ice jade than i am could help me out. I know theres better anti-pyro/fire decks, but water dragon and water dragon clusters effects are really good

[@jonanderirureta8331]

The rulers could come back at 3 today and they will be Tier 3 at best. Free them, Konami. They have already paid for their crimes.

[@MrJokerswild06]

Do they any synergy with red eyes cards or is there not enough diffrerent attributes for them to really go off?

CAn u update this now? All dragon rulers are back but Baronne is banned, and the new supreme ruler of dragons is here

[@ThatOneWeirdFlex]

Speaking of Dragons, why are they mostly still Banned and why is Red Rose still Limited?

[@nathanaellamprecht3389]

No idea, the dragon's rulers aren't powerful enough to warrant being banned now. Now with Red Rose, it probably has something to do with the old Tenyi adventure synchro deck of the past with needle fiber but with it now banned there's no reason Red Rose should still be on the list, but with Konomi they don't like taking cards of the forbidden list.

[@SuperBarbernator]

Hated dragon rulers, power crept all my fun decks and was so hard to play against when they summoned dracosacht

[@Grimsly3736]

Can’t relate I played Dragunity Rulers it was awesome, but I was also really really young and adult me can tell you I’m sorry

[@lloydbagby8355]

Yah they got me back into after inzetors and wind up hand loops so to me they have a soft spot in my Hart

[@xatuyou8045]

did you consider super rejuvenation at all? It seems like it would be perfect for drawing into handtraps

[@nsreturn1365]

unirinocally its to slow for modern format. every card in hand has to be handtrap or gas, for that to be good you have to run 20 handtraps cyberse style, and this deck can't. Might as well pick a heatsoul turbo deck then.

[@zigzag321go]

It's crazy that MBT forgot about this card, it has so much synergy with dragons this format.

you also just can't compare master duel format to TCG due to the existence of Maxx "C"

There’s some pretty solid utility but when you think about it that’s all they kind of are.
