This deck is really something. It reminds me of a similar strat in Pokémon where you use an Arcanine that knows Burn Out (a move that makes the Pokémon Typeless ) and swapping abilities so it has wonder guard (only attacks that are supper affective will hit) and since typless Pokémon don't have any type, it has no weaknesses.

Turn 3 : They draw and I activate howling to set my scales. They summon maiden 2 special summon a monster ( I don't remember which ) link summon linkuriboh and pass. Turn 4 : I draw and pass. This continues until turn 8.( my turn again). Turn 8 : I draw and pendulum summon dinomist pteran and spinos. Tribute pteran to activate spinos effect( can attack twice this turn ) then activate limiter removal to double its attack to 5000. Then activate my archetypal field spell, dinomic powerlaod. I then wait for 10-15 seconds to let my opponent read. Then they scoop. Why? Well the field spell reads: " all dinomist monsters gain 300 atk/def. If a dinomist monster you control battles, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the damage step." No easy blue-eyes for you, you arrogant fucker.

Use Rose Garden to get a token on my opponent's field, which negates the effect of Cook. 2. Use the kaiju that he gave to me as material for my own summons, so he can't set up. 3. Use Mark of the Rose to take control of Cook, and use it for my own twisted purposes. It took a bit, but I did it. They decided to forfeit, and I was blueballed in the end. 😭

One tower isn't enough as your opponent can just out draw the effect with 2 your whittling down their hand until their forced to discard a card on the field. If you curious about the towers effect it's at follows: Cannot be Special Summoned. Requires 3 "Qli" Tributes to Normal Summon/Set. If this card is Normal Summoned/Set, it is unaffected by Spell/Trap effects and by activated effects from any monster whose original Level/Rank is lower than this card's current Level. All Special Summoned monsters lose 500 ATK and DEF. Once per turn: You can make your opponent send 1 monster from their hand or their side of the field to the Graveyard (their choice). Most qli monsters have the ability unaffected but spell/trap or abilities of monsters of lower level/rank. Fair game for link monsters though, if i remember. The only one that doesn't is monolith (which you not really using as a monster).

(Ah he mentions it at 8:45) There is another out to this I found - if the Cook player plays any card, even if it's a normal Spell that goes to the graveyard immediately after it resolves, Cook's protection from card effects is nullified, so responding within that chain can in fact kill the Cook.

Just a list of effects that currently apply to a card / Player / Zone could help a lot, would ensure that you can at least easily see what is going on... When in person, the other person would generally just point out why something isn't working (just to not sit there weird while a judge gets needlessly called), so it wouldn't be striving to far away from the TCG with giving that info.

@@iszac7523 influence doesnt pertain only the lingering effects. if you hover over an xyz card no matter what it is, as long as it has materials attached it will always say influence. That doesnt help in comparison to edo pro's system of just telling you what the effects are. Also, I know its a bit nit picky, since players can use the influence to determine it, however if they dont know what they are looking for then you just harm the player base by having an over complicated UI. While if you were to just add a small feature like edo pro does, then its more intuitive for newer players and it would promote better play from everyone.

For the Herald vs. Kaiju Question. Negating summons works pretty much like negating activations. For the game it's like it never happened wich is relevant in regard to triggers und conditions. But you can't unpay the cost wich would be the tribute and also the negated card goes to the grave not back to hand.

[@FakeHeroFang]

The easiest way to explain it imo is that game mechanics aren't an activated effect so you cannot respond to it, although I think a small handful of cards can still prevent you from being able to use the kaiju tribute effect. I lost a game to Yang Zing because one of their synchros prevents effects depending on the attribute for its material. They're all light monsters and I was playing CyDra so it shut my whole deck down pretty much. Couldn't tribute Jizukiru because it's also a light monster. Really it's lingering vs activated effects in a nutshell.

[@hellowhatsup9668]

Wait, I’m confused. Looking over the effect on the pause screen, it mentions “this card is unaffected by other cards’ effects.” But, how does that keep it from not being destroyed by battle?

[@nathanielbass771]

so, quick note for "unaffected" cards. The only cards which can out them are: cards that tribute them but do not have to impose a condition on them (can't use soul exchange as an example); cards that force your opponent (or you) to tribute monsters; cards that force your opponent to take an action (there aren't many of these cards for a reason...)

[@wyattbakken]

Dinomist would actually be a counter to this deck just for the sheerfact that spino gets to direct attack making this deck oddly bad against dinomist in specific

[@net_spider]

Ways to get around this when its on the field are pretty rare (comparatively): Tribute it (Kaiju and Lava Golem pretty much), Special Summon to/Place a card on your opponents side if the field (not sure how many cards can do it outside of the tribute cards already specified), Direct attack, Piercing, Effect Damage (good luck), Decking (however you want to actually do that) and Insta-win. The most effective way is to just prevent the summon itself. Most people going along the meta will probably be looking for a special summon to face strategy, where they get all of their heavy hitters (most with powerful effects) and defeat you through combat damage. Its one of the most effective ways to win a duel fairly quickly (optimal is one to three turns at most), especially if you have removal to get rid of obstacles between you and them. Edit: Not saying this is a fun strategy, but I loathe the meta and think people really need to think outside the box again. Anything anti-meta will at least change the formula, hopefully for the better.

[@peterhacke6317]

I play LunaLights, and i kept brainstorming for a little while how could i get rid of this set up with my deck, then i remembered that lunalight serenade dance special summons a token on my opponent's field whenever i summon a lunalight fusion, so even with cook's effect yo destroy all cards on his field, it's just a matter of time before i can get rid of it and go for game.

If you build the deck right it can actually be very OP, you can use Cook as a meat shield while bombarding the enemy with spells or buying time for you to draw your Exodia parts. It can go pretty well with cards that have their effect activated from hand or graveyard. The only bad thing about playing Cook is that it usually takes half an hour for me to finish a match, because I don't have many negate, and the enemy can play solitaire before he/she deck out or before I can draw my Exodia. It is also very boring cause I only spent 10 - 30 seconds finishing my turn while the opponent took 5-10 mins to finish theirs. I literally slept while waiting for them a few times. In conclusion, you guys should play those meta decks instead of Cook. It is not fun at all.

on activation dark hole is a card on the field leaving him open for removal. if you chain 2 the destruction of the spell(or sangan), they can chain link 3 him out. the chain resolves backwards. you have to rely on them having no counter or not reading.
