SKY STRIKER - Ten Minute Testing

8:03 Widow steal Isolde since you now have 3 spells in the GY, Link Hayate and summon Roze from hand, Multirole pop Area Zero and summon Raye, Normal Veiler and make Selene with Isolde, then Accesscode with any of the others. 8.3k damage from that but the brainworms won and entered the BP with just Kagari.

This. I dont get why a floodgate-like monster that prevents the most common play in modern yugioh thats easy to bring out AND has protection is heralded to come back but one engage is where yugioh dies, like cmon

[@exileddarkness2683]

Couple of things I’ve seen while testing this deck. Drawing the 1 Veiler that is mandatory for your Halq-Selene-Accesscode play is a reminder for all of us to play 2-3 Veiler. While the Foolish Burial Goods-Metalfoes Fusion package is terrible, it’s still rather decent and the best we have. Metalfoes Fusion can be sent to the GY with Multirole and potentially Area Zero and Burial Goods sends practically everything.

Secrets of eternity was released on January 2015. This set introduced the Infernoids. A series of monsters that can special summon themselves to the field by banishing other Infernoids from either the hand or graveyard. Notable cards in the set include: Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Qliphort Monolith, Uni-Zombie, Nephe Shaddoll Fusion, and a cards that would burst the Satellarknight to combat the Burning Abyss-Shaddoll meta: Stellarknight Constellar Diamond. In this series, both Nyhmnim and myself will be opening 24 booster packs (or one box) of a core Yu-Gi-Oh! booster set. We will build a deck and play a best two out of three, and the winner will receive a small prize to upgrade their deck. However, in each episode we'll open another box of the next that was released moving in chronological order. Constantly upgrading our decks before dueling each other at the end of each episode. This is the Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Series.

Hello! Those games were very fun. I love the Caliga CW set up. The only reason I wasn't on it in June's CSM was cause I hadn't labbed out the combos for it.
