Runick Explained in 20 Minutes [Yu-Gi-Oh! Archetype Analysis]

[@ZEDEX252]

Finally, an actually competent mill deck. I like that they send the cards to the banished zone to circumvent the fact that most decks have graveyard effects. ( Metaphys, thunder dragons, and gren maju appreciates the help though lol)

[@yugiwinninglex]

Maju tends to mill themself out of at time. Metaphy and probably thunder dragon is a problem.

[@mrdude88]

They kinda have to because of that exact reason, otherwise milling will ultimately be your opponent’s advantage. I’m surprise they banish the cards face up, still giving your opponent the chance to play them. Imagine banishing Tri-Brigrade, now you just gave them resource, or D.D. monster can still be summon by their effect.

[@yugiwinninglex]

@@mrdude88 I guess banishing it face up giv ur opp at least a chance to play either somehow retrieving them or have effects that activates aft banish. Fd wld obviously be the best bt probably too busted.

[@zoaero]

Finally my metaphys deck finally have something too bully 😏

[@yugiwinninglex]

@@zoaero Hahaha. Ur deck bully mysterune. Mysterune bully other decks. Other decks bully metaphy. Circle complete.

I'm obsessed with decks based around video games, so this is absolutely on my radar now.

[@RoanWitchArt]

6:57 most of the time Lyrilusc XYZ's cant be targeted because of the effect of Colbalt Sparrow, so this effect doesnt actually stop Nightingale from attacking and going into AA.

[@yugiwinninglex]

Yea ran into that issue. Idk why all of the cards targets. And lyrulis can atk directly which is annoying. And they have a card that literally make it unaffected by anything.

[@MephilestehDarkness]

One card I came across that could help is Muscle Draw. Given that Huginn meets it's requirements, and it's the one Mysterune monster you're likely going into half the time at the start, it might be useful. Same goes to hand destruction and card destruction for more consistency and milling the opponents deck. Though my main thought is running any 1 tribute floodgate monsters as well. Mainly Vanity's and Majesty's Fiend. Given that more than half your deck are possible instant fusions, that's free tribute fodder for the Fiends, who might make managing the opponent's plays much easier.

[@spammerx3268]

dude fucking thank you

[@jksanrio]

Inferno tempest is a brutal mill in this deck, and this random common card that was never reprinted suddenly jumped up to like $7 a copy in the OCG lol. Really glad you mentioned it!

[@blackheart_1852]

Good thing I already have a copy then

[@thefirstsurvivor]

not searchable and has an activation requirement. bad

[@blackheart_1852]

Same with Nibiru, guess he's bad too. Time to dunk on hero players more, they auto lose to a bad card

[@thefirstsurvivor]

@@blackheart_1852 a much easier activation requirement

[@blackheart_1852]

Taking 3k isn't that hard in a deck that usually sits on one monster. But to be fair Tempest isn't "The next meta breaking card." Just a fun little tech for whoever wants to hummor it. If it resolves, most decks scoop, if it doesn't, chances are you baited a negate or removal. Or at worst you have 1 dead card in an archetype that when it gets rolling can end with over 7 cards in hand (trust me, has happened plenty of times in my testing of it)

[@istolethispfpfromreddit]

Mill strategies had always been underestimated. And I unfortunately know why. But this deck: this shit is gorgeous, I tell you, it's absolutely majestic

[@yusheitslv100]

I've been loving Mysterune. I thought I'd put my investment into Valiants, but then I started testing Mysterune. Such a fun deck.

[@dardardar1215]

do you think it will be meta?

[@yusheitslv100]

@@dardardar1215 if the OCG has anything to say about it, it has the potential, just not the player base or opportunity. *Cries in Splight (Tier) Zero.*

[@catisticallyspeaking]

Something I feel you overlooked is the fact that every Mysterune is a modular removal spell/ready fusion, meaning while the intention is milling your opponent, the archetype actually makes very strong engine in a combo deck, notably phantom knights with the lvl 3 and combo TriBri with the lvl 4

[@yugiwinninglex]

It skip ur BP as long as u activate any of those spells. Its meant for control decks bt yea degenerate combo bcuz halq/aururodon.

[@minhkhangtran6948]

@@yugiwinninglex It skip your *next* BP, not the current one, so if you go second you can still combo to hell and back with it and establish your OTK this turn (making this card have some incidental synergy with Elementsaber tbh).

[@yugiwinninglex]

@@minhkhangtran6948 yes bt going 2nd means u have to deal with ur opp on board negates. Unless u draw droplets/kaiju/drnm.

[@catisticallyspeaking]

@@yugiwinninglex the two best control decks in the format rn are Eldlich and Sky Striker. Eldlich needs it's battle phase because walking in with a 3500 attack golden lord is the way it usually breaks boards, and sky striker needs it's battle phase since it's the only way to consistently get engage into rotation.

[@NerdByAnyOtherName]

Spell Absorption might be an interesting include for keeping yourself healthy. I've always wanted to be able to play mill in YGO, so I am super hyped for this deck

[@lucaillgen1248]

Alternatively, Soul Absorption should also give big amounts of Life Points. Or why not both? xD

[@legendsoflaughter3313]

I tested this and it's overpowered against heavy banishing decks. Played against swordsoul once and I went from near death to 8k+ in my turn and then over 20k in theirs.

[@no-rm9wg]

this deck is so rad, even if it never gets any tournament play i adore decks that do their own thing like this

[@Set2Seth]

Oddly enough, I decided to go for an Empty Jar strat using the jars, Including the released flip jar, and doki doki to search em. Add em w/ battle phase skipping cards like waboku and/or thunder of ruler, and Its essentially a race to see who's deck dies first

[@Deathdealer1304]

Everyone always misses Freki as part of this Archetype because it has their new Runick label before the rest of it

[@shanethebard3339]

I hope this deck gets more support later down the line, it seems like a fun gimmick.

[@sanghan6012]

This deck is a bomb in OCG , even with what the deck has right now. If this deck has more support it must be tier 1

[@legendsoflaughter3313]

I got the best success focusing on using Spring as much as possible since its a soft opt effect. You can keep summoning geri to recycle it and use it for extra decks summons with souls to go into beat cop and tribute itself to free up another spot. You can also summon a L4 like pathfinder or library to go into daigusto emeral to recycle geris and plus. You can do this many times in one turn and banish many cards from your opponent's deck with deceit. One day of piece is great in this deck especially since it's very easy to forget about and leave yourself open when going for an OTK, making it easy to dismantle the board invested into to kill you. Also means 1 less card in their deck. It's very fun to draw dispel off of one day of peace and immediately trigger it.

[@carpedm9846]

A mill deck? A mill deck that is designed around first person rpgs? A mill deck that is designed around first person rpgs AND it has ties to generaiders? Oh boy this is gonna be my favorite I can tell already

[@exzyyd392]

"This archetype is related to Generaiders" "It's not out yet" Thank you Yugipedia for giving me false hope

[@water2770]

I was half thinking that some Sky Striker cards could work well. Since you don't have a lot of monsters for the main monster zones and will probably be having a bunch of spells in the grave you can Engage with a lot of their cards. Only issue being whether or not you'd want to go into any of their extra deck monsters or not.

[@Ragnaracc]

You could also give yourself survivability with soul absorb. Good base archetype to add to the existing maju decks

[@michaeltsang1748]

Tried a Sky Rune deck on edopro, absolutely one of my best experiences playing a gimmick deck, on par with Weather Painter after the new support. Now I really want this to be exported into Master Duel soon so that I can banish all copies of the opponent Eldlich.

Does the effect that skips your battle phase stack or does it skip just your next battle phase even if you activate 2 or 3 spells

[@nachocompaired928]

Pretty sure it stacks

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

If it works like Reckless Greed for Draw Phases, they should all apply to the same one as long as they're all played before it hits, so everything from Main Phase 2 of one turn to the end of Main Phase of your next all counts. Just remember that if a Battle Phase gets skipped you don't usually get a Main Phase 2. Also if you get hit with Threatening Roar or a similar effect that prevents attacking in your next battle phase, that won't apply until you actually GET a Battle Phase, so you'd have to wait until the turn AFTER you finally get one in order to attack.

[@Q67-m7z]

They dont stack, also if you use them in bp it wont Just go to ep, seince it says *next phase*
