[@Billy4321able]

Notice how the Eldlich player still lost after his opponent made a ton of mistakes? Yeah turns out Eldlich isn't a very strong deck at all. For being a floodgate it sure is easy to stall against, and if skill drain isn't up for 1 or 2 turns Eldlich loses instantly. They have no otk setup, no powerful engine, no way of coming back from Called by, and their strongest card is limited to 1. If you open twin twister, feather duster, or other generic removal, Eldlich crumbles quickly. That's why it isn't the top deck, and is considered four times weaker than the top meta deck. Even lower tier decks can play well into Eldlich if they have decent banish, hand traps, and/or removal.

[@findout2655]

dude traps are shit, especially going second, anyone who's played this game competitively for more than a year knows this... also one major flaw that dcay showed in this video: ELDLICH SUCKS VS OTHER CONTROL DECKS I play eldlich, paleozoic frogs and lair of darkness, 3 control decks, every time I face eldlich using my other 2 decks I always win unless the dude opens super busted like 2x solemn judgment and torrential

I beat Eldlich using Time Thieves. Using Flyback and Bezel Ship, you can steal Eldlich from the graveyard before they have the chance to revive themselves from the GY. Also if you bounce Eldlich using Redoer’s ability on your opponent’s turn, you can steal it from the top deck on your turn. Also, when you encounter Reasoning, 9/10 times it’s to summon Eldlich. Guess level 10 every time so it doesn’t special summon.

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

Ironically enough, Eldlich itself is an effective out to the kind of floodgates the full deck likes to run because of its hand effect that sends field cards to grave. And it's pretty splashable in spell and/or trap heavy archetypes like Endymion, True Draco, Sky Strikers, Altergeist, Traptrix, etc. provided you can get enough draw power to make using it specifically for outing floodgates worthwhile(or have a reason to pop your cards to bring him out as an a beater/extender, like changing scales or triggering floaters). Decks that run Emergency Teleport can also bring out Ghost Ogre to deal with floodgates, but have to be preemptive with getting it out(or already have one in hand to chain to Imperial Order) to avoid missing the activation window.

@@YoungsterRZ the extra deck can be anything and you can replace the nibiru with the f2p kaiju's if wanted, there can only be one hard counter eldlich players if your having trouble with them specifically, i just build my version and got to plat 1 just to out even crazy boards and even make them

Anything that is unaffected by other card or effects and has more than 3500 ATK just wins.

[@baconvictor6554]

I feel like people are too upset with Eldlich. Sky Striker and Prank Kids are both hard to beat because the weak points aren’t always clear. You could imperial order and skill drain the spells, but these cards both have life point costs. Also, Tri-Brigades are easy to beat. Control your opponents graveyard and monster effects on the field. Infinite Imperence and cards that change monster card types in the graveyard /remove from the graveyard are great ways to beat Tri-Brigade. You can beat Eldlich by stalling out the game, once they activate Imperial Order and Skill Drain. Then, you can also beat them by removing Eldlich the Golden Lord from game. Another way, you can beat Eldlich is by playing Mask Hero Dark law , Macro Cosmos, dimension shifter, dimensional fissure, and other cards that cause cards to be banished. Eldlich the Golden Lord requires things to be sent to the graveyard for both of its effects (both to summon and pop something on the field from hand)

[@ajemison3]

I think the difference is that Sky Striker and Prank-Kids dont need Floodgates to win the same way Eldlich does. Also not every deck can reliably make Dark Law even with Mask Change II being an option. You can play a normal grind game against Sky Strikers or Prank-Kids as annoying but at least you have a chance to play against them before they flip a "no yugioh in my yard" card.

[@cloudwalker9572]

To disrupt Sky striker players the best targets are Engage, Kagari and Shizuku's end turn effect. They are the engine of the deck and will f up the Sky striker player if you negate those. Striker has 2 engage, 1 Kagari and basically a once per turn Shizuku. Watch out for those and you should be able to push through the control, it's coming from a Sky striker player.

[@AstralPhnx]

Anything can be countered if you're big brain enough and believe in the heart of the cards! But seriously the sooner you get used to the fact that you'll win some and you lose some the better. Play through those games you think you might lose because you may turn it on its head, like with the Eldlich I played against today who took me down to 400lp but surrendered after I whipped out a monster they couldn't beat with any normal monster and they couldn't special summon

[@theerealatm]

I made one almost burn out

[@anannoyedpanda]

Win some lose some would be ok. If the game were balanced appropriately. I won't take a lose to some dumbass who plays sky striker control or Eldlich stun Drytron negate. They didn't beat me. They just out bullshitted me. That's not a loss.

[@lazcoroner1483]

These people would be nothing if that precious highlight disappeared.

[@alessandrobianchi645]

@@lazcoroner1483 I play Eldlich and I want to be honest. The deck is good and very cheap, that's why it is so popular. The best card is skill drain, no doubt. Imperial order is good too, but skill drain is at 3, it's better, the Eldlich engine isn't that good honestly. Haquero is too much situational, Conquistador is a face-up pop (it's not that effective in 2022, you know) and the golden lord is probably the best card in the Eldlich engine, but it does target and it's very very vulnerable to called by the grave. My advice is, just don't pop face down cards, that's not good in a grind game situation (Eldlich is a grind deck) and chain your Mst o Cosmic cyclone to continuous traps (like order or skill drain). Also, banishing all 3 lords, many people just play 2, is automatically a win

[@alessandrobianchi645]

Do I think it is the best deck in master duel right now? No. I like virtual world more, my preference (Shenshen is incredibly good). Do I think SKILL DRAIN is the BEST card in master duel right now? Yes

Eldlich:Hey!DL players. Welcome to OCG.!

[@soulstarved4116]

I just used Unchained, they float by activating in grave and hand, so drain doesn't do anything and the lich can't break my board. They eventually run out of resources with a slow painful death. I find that the top priority is to remove lich as much as possible, because to summon it back they need to go -1 and to work around the floating by using the send effect they have to go -2. The scariest card is Vanity's Emtiness as it stops the floating but as long as you save an MST or Escape in the back thats not much of a problem. Also you can throw in some Imperial Iron Walls if it really bothers you. It stops lich and tri if they don't remove it.

[@iSpitboxer]

The trap that banishes always ruins me using Unchained. I do pull off wins but against Eldlitch but rarely with Unchained and usually with Thunder Dragons

[@soulstarved4116]

@@iSpitboxer I use Malice, Chamber, Iron Wall to dodge Huaq, but normally dog is pretty useless against lich and Skill Drain, so I'm not sure what they're banishing that would hurt you.

Gonna be honest. If I both lose the coin toss and go second against Eldlich, I just forfeit and move on. I get more games in and yeah I get a lot of losses, but I still slowly climb the ladder.

I hate in eldlich that even if you destroy them they will simply comeback and they can play vs almost everybody. Other decks if you destroy or negate sth they have hard follow up. This is why they are bullshit.

[@DubsRoids]

as an eldlich player, he's very right! quit because of drytron... or VW... or the evil coming over the horizon you don't even know about yet...

[@Atilolzz]

I dont really get the idea of hating a specific deck type. Like isn't your opponent supposed to hinder you and take the advantage? I enjoy fighting against Eldlich because its usually fast. Its much better than watching people play Solitaire with theirselves with their 20 summon combos + I think its neat to fight around the Eldlichs deck, like you know, in a 1v1 CARD GAME

[@MogFlintlock]

The problem is that the tools you need to fight Eldlich are, usually, very different to the tools you need to beat other decks, with the exception of Ash (and Ghost Belle, but nobody thinks about Ghost Belle). Cards like Droplet and Nibiru are basically dead vs Eldlich, but you need them to deal with decks like Drytron. On the other hand, HFD and Twin Twister are quite weak against most other decks, so adding them to your deck is going to make you less consistent against the remaining 70%-80% of opponents you're going up against.

[@Atilolzz]

@@MogFlintlock @Flintlock But I don't really understand why just because 70-80% play "effect monster decks" that everyone who plays any other kind of deck is an asshole. What if someone plays antimeta with Fossil Dyna? Or stalls with crooked cook? Or has any kind of backrow deck in general (like Eldlich)? Or even just simply plays invoked El Shaddoll Construct that also floodgates you by letting you special summon only once? If your deck centers around competing against 70-80% but you can't get rid of one skill drain then it rather feels like you got outplayed in the deck creation screen to put it bluntly. Cards like Skill Drain and Imperial Order came like over a decade ago. We got those super mega effect monsters in the past 5 years BECAUSE you can floodgate your opponent. People need to understand that Dryton and whatever 20 combo deck incentives people to play control and backrow. I agree that Eldlich is very strong in a FT1 format like in Master Duel, but literally hating the deck and player just because your deck happens to loose against it is a bit too ill minded imo.

[@MogFlintlock]

@@Atilolzz Because, again, decks that rely on cards like Fossil Dyna/Inspector Boarder/Elshaddoll Winda are still soft to the tools people use to fight normal decks like Droplet or Imperm. Also, to a lesser extent, because they're less popular. If True Draco was as popular as Eldlich, I'm sure people would be complaining about it just as much as Eldlich. Combo decks don't necessarily incentivise floodgates. Hell, even the existing combo decks that suffer under floodgates going first frequently will just laugh at floodgates going second (Drytron: lol negate, Tri-Brigade: lol banish it in end step, PK: lol Rhongo, etc). Part of what makes Eldlich feel so sacky is that so many of their cards are so bad going second. The way to consistently beat decks like Drytron is Kaijus, Forbidden Droplet and handtraps that interrupt their combo turn 1. Most of which, again, do nothing against Eldlich. Also, strictly speaking, Herald of Ultimateness is like 8 years old at this point, and Herald of Perfection (which is basically the same card, but very slightly weaker in Drytron) is 12.

[@ShinerCCC]

Pendulum Magicians also has a great matchup against Eldlich. with Pendulum Call, they can't pop your scales with Conq and you can outgrind them with Dragonpit Magician and Time Pendulumgraph. You could even play Harmonizer Gradielle to attach lord from their GY
