[@f.b.iagent3971]

@@conundrum60690 well, the number is actually closer to 35%, but even so I was actually being somewhat lax there It loses to Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence and Ghost Mourner & Moonlit Chill, most meta decks currently are playing either 3 of 4 of these cards as mostly 3 copies, and most off meta decks are also playing these as well as Dimension Shifter which one would imagine somewhat kills Synchron So, we’re in a meta where putting all of your eggs into one basket is terrible because you will just get hit with one interaction and pass your turn, but given just how popular Sychrons are as a deck, most people know exactly where to hit it

​@@manersbams9215luslie gets smoked by sykkuno, the only reason sykkuno losses to her by using old structure deck otherwise luslie has no chance against his hero, sword soul, neon, and Punk deck which sykkuno plays the most. Sykkuno genuinely never lost to luslie with his good decks , only lost with structure decks because blue eyes is one of the best in old decks

[@manersbams9215]

@muhammadmasood667 Nah, Luslie beat Sykkuno a few times by having monsters that directly countered hers, if she decided to put more effort into it then she could probably come up with a deck to beat Sykkuno but she’s a hobbiest she really doesn’t have to or want to go the extra mile to meet Sykkunos deck. Also she still does win against his experimental new decks, it’s the Op ones she really doesn’t stand a chance against.

[@gurth-quake1627]

[@nbassasin8092]

@@angetusk5627 In modern yugioh bricking is either a) having all handtraps and interruption cards which depending on when you go and what you play isnt even bricking because you stop your opponent and 1 card can just open everything up or b) having sub optimal hand that ends in a half board you usually make so it is rarely that you cant play anything at all in modern decks. Dark world is maybe the only deck that bricks in a way that you mentioned but it has so high of a celing that it needs to have some drawback for that big of a payoff

thing about modern YuGioh is that the power creep made it unadvisable to play the game like how Yugi/Atem or Joey played. Nowadays, you wanna win, you play like Kaiba and/or like other rivals and villains, as in you beat your opponents down, negate their plays, or completely stop the opponent from doing anything

[@B0mbk1n]

It was never advisible to play like Joey or Yugi. Relying on luck is not a reliable strategy

Sykkuno had a pretty decent silver/low gold tier deck there, while his opponent's deck was bronze 4 at a good day. It's not humbling, it's showcasing significant look of superiority. I'd love to go up agains Sykkuno with my own synchron deck some day, to see wether his or mine would win. Answer to that question: unless there's a huge brick involved, whoever starts wins.

i know, but people are there for entertainment (and the meme). if he were to learn and play properly, the opponent must match the same field, and i don't think that's the variety he can have every so often.

@@alexluna791 i agree with you on that, and i can't deny either that he indeed has some good luck and strategy on him, it's just that for seasoned players (like you, and unlike me who mostly only watch local tournaments) it can be a tad frustrating to see the route he plays, as opposed to possible other paths, like you said. his syncro is indeed good, maybe he gotta risk it and play properly with actual players instead of casual players

[@adamushu]

This deck isnt even that good lol, its not terrible either, but negate the junk speeder and its gg.

[@TheFounderUtopia]

@@adamushu But he does all this shit on his first turn. I've seen him basically destroy people before they've been able to do more than draw cards. The designers can't possibly think this is balanced, when one action can infinitely chain to more and more. There should be a price to pay. Like, you could balance this super easily by making so that every action in a turn after, say, 7 actions costs you an increasing number of life points to perform. So like, action number 8 costs 300, then 500, then 1k, then 1k again, then 1.5k etc. That way you could execute a near endless combo like this, but the price would be if they have anything at all that can hit you, you're basically a one shot. It would take this from being a god mode deck to glass cannon. I mean look at that. I don't even play this shit and I just fixed such an obvious problem instantly. What the fuck is going on with the game designers?

[@adamushu]

@@TheFounderUtopia I can tell you dont play this game, this is basically equivalent to a middle of the line nba player vs a parapelegic child. Yea his opponent couldnt do anything, because there were no cards in his deck that did anything, or at least not enough. In even a little more serious or modern play there are things called hand traps, board breakers, and then your actual strategy. A single commonly played handtrap stops sykunnos entire board from even happening. And he misplayed so he only had 1 negate, one could force out the negate with one of several commonly played options and start their own strategy. Idk if you play other card games, but ygo is by far the fastest of all of them, a lack of any resource other than the cards themselves is what makes the game unique. If magic is chess, and pkmn or hearthstone are checkers, then ygo is street fighter 6. Ygo is the fighting game of card games, its fast, its back and forth or a blow out.

[@TheFounderUtopia]

@@adamushu No game can be considered balanced when, if you happen to get a bad draw, your opponent can destroy you before you even get your turn. It would be like if in chess one player can get a special piece that just instantly checkmates the enemy king. That's not a question of skill, it's a question of bad game design. My solution would fix that while still allowing for the back and forth with hand traps and such that you're talking about. It would only prevent bad luck leading to an unstoppable flawless victory. I'm sorry but my lack of experience with the game doesn't justify this shit here. It's not just skill we're seeing, it's a design flaw where one person can take infinite actions. Any game that allows that is broken.

[@adamushu]

@@TheFounderUtopia Your opponent is far less likely to destroy you before you get a turn if you build your deck better. Like i said, this is nuclear bomb vs coughing baby levels of deckbuilding. Luck wasnt even a factor in this duel, the decks were just that different. An element of luck (that is massively influenced by your deckbuilding) isnt a flaw in game design, its just another variable to optimize.
