Compared to other solo modes, this one was excellent, I'm really considering investing in all of the archetypes featured, rikka, sunavalon and traptrix. MBT did the same line every game but I was able to play all three archetypes individually.

[@don_mc_ron320]

So glad MBT is addressing the issues us higher dimensional IQ plant players have been dealing with.

They were like the 4th best deck of POTE format I think

[@bernardosales1044]

@@ashikjaman1940 yeah, I guess I just never paid attention to Rikka

[@bagorngo]

They're insanely cracked going first against monster decks. They also have good play going second against slimmer boards (like Swoso and Branded), though negate turbo is a bit rough (can't tribute for cost if they smoke all of your Konkons). They can also end on deceptively powerful boards like Princess (hand or GY) + Konkon + Sheet + any rikka name on field via one special in case you get roached. Unfortunately, they crumble to evenly matched and equalizers unless they run bricks (a therion package for Regulus) or can attach a spell to Sylvan (still owned by Evenly, might not be possible in weird disrupted lines).

[@MsMiDC]

didnt rikka literally win a YCS?

[@shiftyshitter348]

@@MsMiDC Yeah, when everyone was preparing for tier 0 meta threat Spright from the OCG and no one knew what Rikka does (the main thing that gives you wins with the deck), I love the deck and props to that guy for winning, but it's still bad and a lot of things had to go right for it to win

[@finn4019]

Somehow this is so, so much less hotny than the fucking myutant episode

[@christheenbyVT]

the thing is i don't know how playable rikka sunavalon is in md because mine has been banned since day 1 and idk if just rivalry is good enough floodgate wise. it was the floodgates that backed up the lukewarm boards+princess in grave in tcg, plus a LOT of rikka sunavalon's strength came out of the sideboard with things like ultimate slayer which doesn't feel like a mainable card at all in best of 1 with the "respect the roach tax"

[@SloopYGO]

theyre a good rogue option i think. i mean exosisters are tier 3 according to md meta and i think rikkavalon are just slightly weaker. you dont even need rivalry imo, tho i am playing sort of a floodgate with naturia rosewhip which can be ss'd from deck while ure doing the sunavalon combo

[@LynnLyns]

Honestly you don't even need to play a floodgate in this deck. I'm playing a standard version of Rikka Sunavalon and its pretty good ngl

[@trellyv8826]

Truer worlds were never spoken.

[@johnnywilson3071]

Rikka should be stronger in best of 1 though, you can't side for it anymore, though S/T removal does get mained a bit more here I feel just because you can't ever be sure you won't face a floodgate/control deck also Maxx-C is a bitch to deal with. Still they should be performing a lot stronger based on their showing in TCG.

[@NeviTheLettyFan]

Only card missing is Sylvan Dancepione, they're pretty good but Runick shits on them

[@ChaosMemeLord]

I have a joke for you. What's the difference between a liberal and a Rikka player? A liberal is someone who advocates for progressive political ideas, while a Rikka player is someone who plays an archetype called Rikka in a strategy-based card game.

[@jumpiestaman100]

Even during the POTE release in the TCG, Rikka Fairies were definitely good since they also got Rikka Konkon, which is literally a busted card. Rikka Sunavalon was the mix that topped 1 YCS around that time (maybe a little further out past POTE). For MD, Rikka Fairies are definitely an archetype that's competitive, with the current meta of Spright.

[@jeffreytam7684]

The title has given me profound psychic damage

[@DrAiPatch]

Got to D 1 with Rikkia in like 3 days. For starters, no one knows what they do so a lot of hand traps do not help since my opponents don't know my choke points. Next not a lot of decks can't handle how Rikka plays using my oppents mobster to pay cost is a hard out to a lot of boss monster. And lastly I can play over the boards of monster-heavy decks easy........ The down sides are I play a lot of one ofs so bricking is very easy, I have zero grind game so if my oppent outs my board I'm hooped and back row hard counters Rikka.

[@muhammadsahid1901]

So can you tell me pros and cons this deck? How about match with spright variant or other meta deck? For counter this deck Ned monster effect or spell/trap effect?

[@DrAiPatch]

@@muhammadsahid1901 has a pretty good pure Spright match up and a ok runick Spright match it outs Despia, sword soul, Punk, Exosisters and Mathmech since their boards can't deal with tribute removeal. It has an awful Labrynth and pure Runick match since the deck has next to no way to interact with back row other that Lighting storm or duster. I have seen people use Rose whip in the Deck to help this but it's a little to sacky for me.

[@DarknessDpa]

I can at least add this Solo Mode as one of the few that I had fun playing while understanding the deck better in my own rights. I also like how without barely knowing any lines with Rikka Sunavalon except to summon Dry Ass, I somehow made a good board worth the Aromatherapy Link, the big tree guy link, Teardrop, one of the good ATK Rikka's, and whatever else I had room for to fill up the entire board all on Turn 1. The Traptrix one I don't know too well the synergy other than plants and girls so I just played that one with their own individual combos.

[@186Soup]

Rikka is straight fire when it goes off. Throw in a cactus bounser and you have that extra layer on your end board that makes your opponent cringe. Not to mention if they try to clear your board you have princess or petal to negate (can't remember which one it is). 3x Konkon 3x rikka glamor 3x sunvine sewing 3x genus Loki 3x princess or petal (the hand trap one) 2x mudan 1x cactus bounser I can't remember the rest of my buddy's list but its cracked. Literally gets full combo 90% of the time. Or if he doesn't open full combo he's usually 1 piece off which is normally searched.

[@HereticSeraphim]

Gotta keep reusing the "Folks: Homestuck" clip

[@chrisnigro6721]

I haven’t seen anyone mention it in the comments and the twitch chat jumps around due to editing but the lethal they were probably talking about in game 3 is that if you can get the rank 8 with mats and the rank 6 you can otk by having the 8 tribute itself then using the 6 to summon back the 8

[@finbao]

More likely you tribute the rank 4 that was already on board after you have attacked with it to summon another xyz

[@dhanyl2725]

Maybe you can use rose lover? Idk how else to do it besides maining evenly or lightning storm really Or take a risk and main actual s/t removals

[@dmsalf5717]

i prefer plays it with board breakers like evenly, cosmic or duster for s/r removal and DRNM for monster removal with 3 copy each feels good when you break their board and establish your own right after

So I have a question about another deck type so we all know traptrix has been topping a lot of events with kashtira being considered one of the best decks in the meta yet traptrix is beating kashtira like a red headed step child why is it that traptrix is not considered a meta deck yet kashtira is help me understand this

[@kaylanicoles8195]

Sorry I know this isn’t a master duel question but a Tcg question

[@Ragnarok540]

I think it needs multiple tops at YCS events before people call Traptrix a meta deck. I could happen, the thing is people are respecting Labrynth and Traptrix loses to the same things.

[@kaylanicoles8195]

@@Ragnarok540 still labrynth is also a trap deck and is considered meta as well and the traptrix cs labrynth matchup is more interesting and a back and forth than anything vs kashtira kashtira looses to a lot more than what traptrix or labrynth lose to there are so many weaknesses to kashtira and it’s considered the best deck in the meta yes traptrix and labrynth have weaknesses but not as many as kashtira I just don’t get it

[@kaylanicoles8195]

@@Ragnarok540ut alas this question was meant for Mbt to answer and I really want to see his answer and take maybe I can Learn a few things along the way as well you see my last locals I played against 1 kashtira deck it easily lost to me 1 branded deck which was also an easy win and a cyber dragon deck giving me 3 wins my only loss was to a labrynth deck by the best duelist there who went against two kashtira 1 branded and my traptrix deck he went 4-0 while I went 3-1 but I gotta say I had way more fun playing against the labrynth deck it was a back and forth duel we went into time he had won the first game but second game we couldn’t hurt each other with only 3 minutes left on the clock lol so he basically got the win just by winning the first game of the match
