My Master 1 Galaxy-Eyes Photon Deck | Combos, Tips, and Guides to counter the meta!

[@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990]

I had tried the blind 2nd version of the deck, but I feel going 1st is better, since doing that (go 2nd) ignores Galaxy Hundred's strength, which is to see what you are playing against, prepare yourself on what to counter, and banish key monsters as well. Besides, the deck sometimes combos a little too much to play as a go 2nd deck. Other Galaxy Photon combo videos I had played earlier this month : kzbin.info/www/bejne/ql7ZimdnbbGGjdk & kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJKZloyfaNiEmtE As usual, video details, such as timestamps, explanation, and full list are on the description.

Would it be true to say that one of it's biggest strengths is that it really flexes going both first and second really well? Seems like you go first and you set up a couple negates, a pop, and maybe an unaffected monster. Go second and you have one of the most reliable OTK's in the game.

Absolutely love this. The 200 iq plays and the Analysis into why you made all the plays you, it just benefits all into being better players especially me who really wanted the new support from PHHY to be good and it turns out to just be so...damn...good. i had to buy the rest of what i need. Only problem I had was changing out what felt like half the deck due to Knight and Brave really not being worth it anymore. Would kill to have you in a little private video call and just theory craft and pick your brain behind the masterful way you've built the deck and your sheer knowledge. A true King

[@genesis9223]

I tried the deck a few ways, I definitely like hyper, and I think it pairs nicely with a single copy of sanctuary. Think of it this way, it unbricks gedp and that's even sweeter if you managed to draw afterglow by accident. And it even combos with hyper as being tribute fodder! And obviously it can be used for our 1 link summon. It's variety of uses, I think are huge waste to not be using. Plus you can search it

[@meijinwari3988]

I have never think of using cipher x to extend combo. Usually its my last resort if i failed to end the game with no62 . Very nice vid. Does x effect still protect your monster on the next turn ?

[@amritlohia8240]

It protects your monsters until the end of the opponent's turn - so if you use it going first, they can't target your monsters on their turn.

[@scavenge7177]

@@amritlohia8240 But important to note, it only protects monsters that were on the field when it was activated. A really dumb OCG ruling that unfortunately made it to master duel, despite the card being rather clear that it's supposed to be nebulous and not only applying to currently on the field. Either a really stupid balance ruling that never got errata'd, or Cipher X's english translation has always been wrong and never corrected.

[@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990]

TCG ruling protects all your Light monsters from targetting until the end of the next turn. However, Master Duel seems to follow OCG ruling, where Cipher X only protects Light monsters you control WHEN you activate its effect. For example on my duel against Runick Naturia, when my opp could still target and negate no 38, when I had activated Cipher X in the previous turn.

[@lightofchaos2335]

@@scavenge7177 Yeah, I think the English translation may be a little wrong on that part.

[@amritlohia8240]

@@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990 Yes, as I said, the TCG text is different from the Japanese - it was translated incorrectly. Master Duel, as an OCG game, follows the Japanese card text.

[@genesis9223]

I am actually happy to see that the plays I've been cooking up look like yours! You're a beast never thought to use hyper galaxy. Though have you tried running photon sanctuary at 1? If you opt out of searching hyper you can use it to instead keep cipher x on the field along with 38 and 90 on your turn 1 plays by being able to link summon using the tokens. Furthermore if he makes it to the next round you can resserect 38 if they die, and if they don't you can turn him into a full armor photon dragon for additional removal on your turn.

[@genesis9223]

(Sorry If I wasn't clear on when to use Sanctuary. You use it right after using cipher x to recycle the afterglow for free)

[@genesis9223]

Also at the end idk if you knew or if you just didn't go for it on purpose. But wiz orbit is a full combo

[@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990]

After the new support, I dont think the deck needs Photon Sanctuary, since it's only good for Link Solflare/summon GEPD easier and the new supports make the deck more XYZ oriented. Hyper Galaxy wasnt in the deck before. It was Talent, but it didnt help me go 1st/2nd, so I replaced it with Hyper. If I compare Hyper/Sanctuary, Hyper seems better, because it can give you an extra interruption if you go first. Sanctuary may not be used if you still have Cipher X, since your field is too full of monsters (like in the first duel). Still, your point of saving Cipher X for next turn is pretty legit.

[@genesis9223]

So true, I rewatched and the 1st duel everything and thought you could have xyz summoned 38 first or something for room but no you got me there. I can definitely say that you usually have room tho, I often don't get an extra 8 star out of my galaxy photon dragons but maybe that's just me and my bad habits lol

[@flamehaze59]

Love the video! I just built this deck and I'm learning how to use it. Question though, what do I do if I lose coin toss and go second vs Purrely? I did the combos but they still managed to get Noir out and I lost. Started with Vanisher, Wizard, Jumper, Ash, Ogre and Called By in hand.

[@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990]

Use Ghost Ogre on the gacha spell, and Ash is bad against Purrely, but you can try to use it to chain block or Purrely xyz can attach it to itself. If you can draw droplet, you can use it to negate Noir once its material is lower than 5 (no more unaffected). You can bet to summon Photon Blast (hope he doesnt read it) and then go straight to 62 and c62, which will be too late for him to bounce.

GPD can only change others' level to 4 or 8 once per turn, same as it's search effect.

[@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990]

Different meta. I think this was on Purrely meta. Imagine you make Photon Blast and GPD, then opp summons Zeus. For current meta, I think making both Photon Blast and GPD is the better option tho (if you check my latest video)

Can you explain why Jumper top search priority is Galaxy Hundred? If jumper activated, meaning Jumper is already sent to the grave, so the only target for extender is Emperor, and I think Trance has higher priority in this case?

[@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990]

The search depends on the situation, but mostly you will send jumper to GY via Hundred, or after you use normal summon (Like jumper + vanisher , or wizard/soldier + vanisher). Thus, you need the 2nd normal summon that Emperor provides. Again, it depends on situation, since there may be times when you need to use Jumper's eff to add Trance to summon GPD, and this knowledge on situation can depend on your experience with the deck.

[@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990]

2nd solflare is only needed if you cant OTK on your 2nd turn (deck's goal is to set up negates, then OTK on your 2nd turn/3rd turn of the game). If you want to replace it, maybe replace it with some extra deck which is strong on its own. dragon link and purrely is weak against droll, so maybe you can replace some staples with it. Also, droplet is strong against them (you just need to wait Noir to have lower than 5 materials to use it)

[@larkwonder4084]

What are your thoughts on regulus in this deck?

[@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990]

Therion King Regulus? I dont think it's needed, and the deck most likely will need to use Galaxy Trance, which locks you into only summoning Galaxy/Photon, so Regulus wont be summoned in this case.
