Melodious Combos Made Easy! | Complete Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel Deck and Combo Guide

[@Ravenleaf182]

Really great combo guide, appreciate the depth and explanations. I think the only thing I would point out is while you specifically keep your combos "in a vacuum", in reality there is a lot of flexibility and while these combos are perfect for understanding your end goal, the road to get there has lots of ways to go, especially for pure variants as opposed to people using Melodious as an engine.

@@Ravenleaf182 thanks! And you're right; the deck is very flexible. I'm hoping to showcase that in replay matches. Maybe, some replay analyses could be helpful to that end too?

This was a phenomenal guide. Thank you

[@duelperfect]

@@BrandedBeastYGO any time! Happy to hear that it was helpful 😬

Bro, this is like memento 9 1 card combo.. (memento actually has more) and with a lot of play in case opponent hand trap us. And ofc very weak to board breaker. Memento has stronger ceiling and doesnt have restriction but melodious has more resistant with maxx c and shifter. I will try this deck later, looks so fun.

[@duelperfect]

You're right! It is a lot like memento. Both are crazy consistent fusion decks with a lot of gas. Melodious is a lot of fun, so I recommend it, but when the Fiendsmith engine drops, you'll want to be on Mementos then. For now, have you considered running Mementos Melodious?

[@reisen9584]

@duelperfect @duelperfect nope. Tried melodious chimera and the deck kinda succ with too many ns. Memento also have a lot of ns. Like you said, the best pair for memento is only fiendsmith. I played melodious a little, the deck doesnt really have follow up. What's the card that can be used to recover? And you also dont include how to otk in this video, do you use something like access in turn 3 or 4? I dont see a good melodious card that can otk right away. Lastly I tried small world since saw some meta ocg used it, what do you think? It can search herald for maxx c and hand trap can search refrain (with bridge veiler and gamma)

[@reisen9584]

Edited : there are a lot of restrictions actually lol. The main one is maestro cant be activated if we activate ash or droll (if we get maxx c), and I still dont know the combo. Since that one is kind of key card. Also small world is really good in theory, but I forgot that veiler have 0 atk and def. Maybe I was missing sometjingh but I cant small world veiler, gamma, or ogre into starter. Need some rework.

[@duelperfect]

@reisen9584 you're very right about the tons of restrictions. Yes, if you ash or Droll the Maxx C, you can't use the Shopina effect. The deck still has plays though. You can still end on Etiolle + Something, but it's definitely not as strong as when left uninterrupted. Other restrictions that I forgot to mention is that Bloom Harmonist locks you into Melo and Coupler can only search while you control no monsters or only Melo.

[@duelperfect]

@@reisen9584 Replying to your long message regarding Melo Chimera + Melo Mementos. You're right; my issue with running Melo as engine in other decks is that it clash and isn't exactly reliable. Mainly, because you need draw 1 of 3 ostinato to pop off, while you're also playing 5 other melo cards that you wouldn't want to draw. So yeah, while I have seen Melodious Pop off in Memento before, ultimately those results exist as a case study and should probably be avoided XD. This is why I say that Pure Melo is the best version of the deck. Regarding follow up. You have 2 options. 1 you use Shopina to add a Soprano from grave to hand and make another Bacha. Alternatively if you used the Shopina as material, you can use the scale effect of Couplet to search Concerto and fuse like that. Both of these lines only work in the pure end board. The Odd-eyes line has no follow up. Also, the deck struggles to OTK when going second if your opponent has an established board. The thing is, your Etiolle clears your board to clear your opponents so you generally don't have many monster's left with to attack. This isn't a deal breaker though when the deck is running tons of hand traps and can slow your opponent down until you can. Alternatively, some builds run Bloom Prima to OTK with. It works and is decent, but I prefer to play utility instead. So your small world lines are Reveal a Melo from Hand, Reveal Effect Veiler of Ogre deck, add Refrain from Deck to hand. Small World is just a consistency tool. It's good, but the deck isn't exactly starved for those. Also, while agree stopping Maxx C with Orange light is important and you can search it with small world, I think that is a bad play. Small World is a 2-for-1 and Orange light is another 2-for-1. Basically, you won't have much of a hand then.

What's better this or voice less voice? I wanna invest but man i love my voice less

[@duelperfect]

That's a good question. They're both midrange decks that are centered around board protection. I think Voiceless has the edge on Master Duel since it plays around Maxx C and Nibiru, while melodious has a hard time against those cards. Also, VV is a lot easier to pilot so you're less prone to misplays. On the other hand, Melodious are more flexible than Voiceless and can play through other handtraps easier. Ultimately, if we're splitting hairs, I'd say Voiceless is slightly better since it has the better Tenpai match-up. However, they're both very good choices. I imagine that the combo orientated players will perform better on Melo than VV. So be sure to base this choice on what suits your playstyle best

[@Kiferno]

You can play Melodious as a engine in VV, both are light monsters so Barrier of the VV protects Melodious monsters, and you can pendulum summon VV Saffira, VV Sauravis and Diviner.

[@duelperfect]

@Kiferno you're right, you can! I've seen a lot of people have success with it, the end board is crazy!

9 one card starters is NOT hyperconsistent🙏

[@duelperfect]

Having 9 One-card starters means that you have a 74.18% chance of at least seeing one of them in your opening 5. Would you say that's not high enough?

[@kayne_vk]

@duelperfect No, bc Hyper consistency is HYPER consistent, and 75% is not HYPER consistent

[@kayne_vk]

@duelperfect but regarding it has 2 card combos, opening a combo possibly could be hyper

[@duelperfect]

If not Melo, which deck would you say is then deserving of the title "hyper consistent"?

[@kayne_vk]

@duelperfect maybe mathmech with 3 circular 3 firewall 3 small world 2 Cynet mining and 2 parallel exceed that makes 13 ( I think you CAN count exceed if you want since you always have a normal summon into almiraj)
