I think the real issue with master duel is the lack of variety in game modes. If this last week proved anything, it’s that the master duel community is wide and varied in what we want. Give us a casual and ranked mode for the following formats: -GOAT -Edison -TCG -OCG Then the MD official format can be this Wild West of sorts where things like elf, and yes- maxx c, are still around. And the people who prefer those other formats get what they want to. This would end up making Konami a ton of money long term as people would be buying up packs for the format they like the most and they would likely start trying the others as well.

Maxx c should still be banned. In that hipotetical univesre, you should just play the ocg mode.

[@djvel1587]

I 100% agree with you on the pendulum cards. The main issue with pendulum is you can't play handtraps, so giving back astrograph would just improve the ceiling of pendulum while doing nothing to stop of the issue of auto-losing if you go second. With that in mind, bring back electrumite to 3.

[@mrpkmnfrk]

Electrumite to 3 might be a bit too strong for future pend decks

[@caesar1512]

You could first semi-limit Electrumite and then if it's fine, then unlimit it

​@@yesohxdlol640 Hard disagree, both maxx c and fen are bad for the game, fen coming back wpuld just limit deck diversity even more because now players would feel forced to put a kash engine in their deck just cause its so good like maxx c, and would lead to players being forced to put more cards in thier deck to deal with it like ash and called by for maxx c, limiting even more spots in their deck

[@Kintaku]

Fenrir is a card that I understand being at 1. Yes, it can lift up a lot of decks, but it being ubiquitously useful also hurt many rogue decks that depend on a normal summon effect starters. It also baited interaction by being able to search itself, which is the biggest issue with the card imo. I love Fenrir personally, but I totally get the limit.

[@gravethestampede3454]

Ib has been unbanned in paper formats for a few months now. I think that's enough focus testing. We can handle her in MD.

[@Overcoww0215]

I agree with every point except for two, which I half agree on: 1. Fenrir - I dislike that Fenrir searches itself and a ton of games I played would devolve into “Fenrir control,” rather than the actual decks that were being played. I did however like that meta in the sense that old staples like Book of Moon became more important because of Kashtira and Purrely being the best decks at the time. I think it’s just slightly too soon for Fenrir to go back to 3, but once there are better/more consistent options to out it, I say release him. 2. Runick - I agree with the quick play spells getting unlimited, the only frustration is that you can lose entirely off of having a key engine piece getting banished. The part I heavily disagree with is Fountain needs to stay at 1. The fact that Runick players could draw up to 3 cards multiple times per turn was just excessive.

[@Kintaku]

Hard disagree one fountain. Most Runick players that aren’t stun use the deck to draw into the rest of their playable cards. Wasting resources to double search with fountain requires your hand to be incredibly lucky and it doesn’t happen anywhere near as often as people try to make it sound. That play also literally dies to a single ash, which you are pretty likely to resolve. Fountain at 1 is just a very bad hit in general. A single banish (which Runick has almost no power to stop btw) means that you just auto-lose the game. If the deck was some all powerful winning machine, that might be fair, but it’s literally just not.

[@martinignacioberro9876]

For me fenrir at 1 or ban is the best option a card with no real restrictions that can search it self is a little to toxic, mermaid on the other hand i find eblee is the problematic card really, and for dragoon... I don't like it but i tink verte and the deck fusion cards are clearly the problem, the low resources free boss monsters are a awful idea that Konami keep doing.

[@mikefrost5575]

Baronne anyone? That card's been the bane of my existence since I started playing.

[@martinignacioberro9876]

@@mikefrost5575 i agree, also i tink Konami need to ban generic negates, and as a pend player i also tink that make pend decks evolve and recibe playable boss monsters.

[@MysticKenji2]

@mikefrost5575 Baronne is such a baffling card. I think the intention was that you were supposed to use the negate and then have to re-summon it to refresh it, but due to how it's worded, it's a free negate every turn instead. So it's just everywhere, because there's no real downside to having it.

[@mikefrost5575]

@MysticKenji2 exactly. Every synchro deck needs to run Baronne, or you're just missing out on a Hella good boss monster that can singlehandedly win you the game on its own. It boggles the mind that Konami thought that a 3k beater with an Omni-Negate AND Pop-Effect, while also being completely generic, was a-okay.

[@UncleMerlin]

Spright elf is a stupid card it needs to go

[@jasonbassil9480]

I'm not sure I agree with some of these. In no particular order: 1) Yes Spright will play toad again, but not just spright, decks that can make bahamut shark like tear will also play it and any future decks that can make either. 2) mermaid you said you are not sure about but you would be right it is possibly the worst idea. Even a deck as bad as pure scareclaw can make trihart searching their trap that prevents link monster effects summoning while also iblee locking. Any deck that does not link summon will auto lose but even among those who do there are ways to prevent that from happening either by doing a u link like the good old days or searching a card that restricts link in some way like the scareclaw trap graveyard effect. The scareclaw trap being searchable by the relatively generic visas armitrage sychro monster. 3) the zoodiac ratpier unban. The reason why the deck only ends on drident now is because they have 1 ratpier. 2+ ratpier is where zoodiac becomes a combo deck again ala 2017 style. Not sure how good it would be but tbh I would surprised if it wasn't at least tiered as they have their extender spell and the rank 3 enablers like terrotop for mx saber invoker again. Zoodiac is basically the original small main deck engine does insane combo and the rest being staples. I think you are right about the rest though. They either won't have a meta impact or are funny regardless. The runick hits to me are particularly the most annoying ones considering that as you said, konami should just ban all the stupid floodgates already.

[@renaldyhaen]

The current Iblee lock is bad because either you need hard draw it or the decks that can play the Iblee lock have some kind of restriction that makes their play "weak". The mermaid will give more consistent Iblee lock without any restriction.

[@HaiderSyed-p9o]

I’d like to see Ratpier be put to 3. If it’s really that problematic they can put it back to 1 we don’t really lose anything

[@alisonarizapa343]

Everything I agree besides Fenrir they need an errata to unlimit the card, like in cannot search itself. What makes Fenrir a terror and can't be compared to Pank is because of its method of removal banishing cards facedown is a death sentence and not to mention him being able to replace himself and be special summoned if he gets destroyed is not cool and to add he can be played on your end board turn one or act as a board breaker turn 2 and in MD there is a unique interaction with him you can have a good read at your opponent handtraps if you activate his search

Dragoon needs to be unbanned for just all the lower tier decks that need a good boss monster. No tiered deck will ever play Dragoon because you're running 3 bricks and an ED space to make it and every deck worth it's salt would prefer a playset of HTs over a dragoon line.

I got around the choke points with my Odd-eyes/performapal deck. Played through TWO Ashes. Also found out that Predaplant monsters work well in the deck.

Also the fact that konami adds cards to Master Duel just to immediately ban them and not let us have them is stupid.

Just play Pankratops, Fenrir will make the turn 1 more annoying, and don't forget this will ruin some "non-meta" matches up in low ranked. ● About Runick, between MST and the funny Pink card, the problem is Hugin... . Those floodgates are enough at 1, because they're like "boss monsters" for backrow. And they're very inconsistent as unsearchable limited card, and very situational. Because most monster bosses have very consistent methods to summon, with various effect, and sometimes floodgates too. And when I see the decks on that DCup. Almost all of them didn't have backrow removal. Imagine if someone refuses to play the Books in Purrely/Kash format, I believe most people will blame the player for not running the Books, not the decks. . Limit Hugin, and backrow removal will be more impactful to beat them. Also, this will make their access to field spells less consistent.

Ill agree that Best of 1 complicates this, but the fact is floodgates aren't usually complained about to the same extent unless they are backrow because they aren't as easy to tackle for the average player. 8:33 personally I prefer to play the deck the way I wanted to- high risk mill, it's what i waited for it for. the problem is hitting all those cards like they did in MD forces your hand into either Engine or Stun, especially with fountain at one. I just don't have enough names to play it the way i want to. and ill be frank, Runick as an "engine" has not gone supremely far away, because in those situations your mostly just using every last card as an "instant fusion with a drawback" copy.

Also, just a note: i would also love for Masterpeace to be unbanned, but i dont think it's a good idea. The amount of floodgates that he can abuse is insane, and i just don't think it'd be healthy for the game if he came off. Maybe at 1, but thats as far as i would take it. But, hey, what do i know?

i will say no for the runick, because banishing cards from top of deck is really annoying strategy

[@Dyleniz]

Yes runick did nothing wrong, its a cool deck building option also a great value way for a free to play player to create multiple decks since they are useable in a ton of decks. Also ratpier to 3 will do nothing because we dont have bull and norden. But the card I want off the ban list is glow up bulb, fuckin halq the reason its banned is banned its just great synchro support or a techcard in most meta decks to give more access to bodies.

[@darksaintwins1432]

@@sladevalen To answer your question. They can tribute summon by tributing continuous spells/traps or monsters. 2 of their monsters have quick effects that allow you to search and set continuous true draco spell/traps from the deck. Another monster let’s you search a true draco monster. The continuous spells each give you an extra tribute summon during your main phase. They also let you shuffle cards from your GY back to the deck and let you draw cards. Disciples let’s you shuffle 3 back and draw one. Heritage let’s you draw cards equal to how many True draco cards were sent to the graveyard that turn. Each of the spells also destroys a spell/trap on the field when they are sent to the GY. You can use each effect once per turn. Continuous traps let you tribute summon during your opponents turn. One of them summons one of your monsters from grave. The other reduces the attack of all your opponents monsters by half. When the traps are sent to the grave you can destroy an opponents monsters. Master peace requires 2 tributes. Either continuous spells/traps or monsters. It is unaffected by cards with the same type as the cards that were used to tribute summon it. For example. If you tribute 1 monster and one continuous spell, it is not affected by monster effects or spell effects. It also has a quick effect to banish a continuous spell or trap from the grave to destroy another card on the field. Their field spell gives 300 attk to each of their monsters and protects each of them from destruction by battle once per turn. This makes master peace even harder to kill. It also lets you destroy one card on your field or in hand to search a true draco card. You could set a true draco trap, use field spell to destroy it and search a card. Trap is sent to GY destroy a monster. Use the heritage to draw one since a true draco was sent to grave. It’s main deck monsters are quite strong so you don’t really need an extra deck. The monsters are all tribute summons so you can play monarch spells and traps. Storm forth which let’s you tribute your opponent’s monsters and errupt which is a skill drain for non tribute summoned monsters were quite good. Basically the deck draws a lot, destroys a lot of the opp cards. Can play a lot of flood gates, has a lot of interaction and has a 2950 (3250 with field) atk boss monster that is immune to 2/3 of the cards in the game and has a quick effect destruction. It can also be protected from battle destruction once per turn

Konami PLEASE ban all the floodgates so I can use runick as an engine. Also let spright live pls, those level 2 bois have been hit too hard

[@osiobasi]

Why do you think the live action avatar show was garbage. Honestly for me it’s been pretty good. Also I agree with most of these except runick and a little to masterpiece cuz I hate true Draco. I don’t like the idea of banishing from my deck regardless of if it’s combo or stun. I really agree with fenrir. Being able to play around maxx c and gain some card advantage while being good disruption felt amazing to put in most of my decks. Some cards I’d like off the banlist besides the ones in this video would be FBG, chaos ruler, union carrier (errata to unions), and Infernity launcher.

[@BreadBoyWeeb]

The live avatar fundamentally misrepresents the characters in a way that changes them for the worse. Zuko is not supposed to be so kind and caring for Iroh until like book 2 at earliest. He is a dick and learns from this and regrets his actions. Katara lacks her fierce and motherly character for the cast, she felt way more like Sokkas little sister than a powerful outspoken member. The VFX and combat was really well done but I could go on for a while on how bad it is

[@osiobasi]

@@BreadBoyWeeb Understandable. Yeah I agree with Katara. Her personality seems to be lacking and I honestly forgot zuko may not have been as nice to iroh as I remember early on. I guess the show wanted to portray the characters a little bit differently than in the animated show like with Bumi for example, but for characters like Katara they didn’t really show it well. Thanks for sharing your opinion on it.

[@IC-23]

My tinfoil hat conspiracy theory is that because Fenrir plays unreasonably good into Maxx C so Konami wanted to make the roach even better by taking out one if it's soft counters (because Fenrir and some Handtraps pass js usually good enough to at the very least not die)

[@emanuelstornello8009]

[@Honest_Mids_Masher]

Im a bit iffy on the runick cards because BO1 format and all that i agree there should be some unhits and the total eradication of all floodgates but im not sure if fountain should be unlimited. And i don't think i agree with the knightmare mermaid point when it comes to the iblee lock scenario. Sure it's not good for now because of the tier 0 deck but once we're out of that where there's variety in the format and some decks are locked into specific summoning types for example branded, iblee just creates non games there (irony in being able to lock out a branded player lmao) I feel like if we were to bring back mermaid I'd probably want iblee banned and though some decks can already do it mermaid makes it far more accessible to decks that can stack it on top of a combo board rather than specifically cyberse piles. But on another note ADVENTURE ENGINE TO THREE THE SYNCHRONS ARE GOING ON AN ADVENTURE SPREE

[@BreadBoyWeeb]

Mathmech has been able to do the iblee lock since circular, and it hasn't been doing it at all. Ya I should have clarified with Runick I want to see literally all those floodgates banned I should have elaborated further. And we getting the adventure engine back Honest I believe. Though I genuinely believe if we banned all flooddgates the game would get better

[@Honest_Mids_Masher]

@@BreadBoyWeeb I mean yeah Mathmech has been able to do it and it hasn't but that's because it trades for a part of the endboard. If they went for the Iblee lock I don't think they'd be able to reach their normal endboard that they normally do but if mermaid was unbanned what's to stop a deck like SHS from using it? I dunno I think it's a bit iffy because instead of just specifically cyberse piles having access to the lock it's any deck and would benefit ones which could put up a few extra bodies to spare for the lock Getting the adventure engine back would definitely be helpful cause adventure synchron is probably my favorite deck of all time to play (wombo combo player alert) and yeah at this point floodgates don't really bring anything interesting to the table anymore and are way more impactful than they were 20 years ago at this point they just make games frustrating so I definitely would like them gone (so I can have an excuse to play no floodgates Labrynth)

Yeah the unhits to runic are just an L. At least ban fountain if you wanna let the other ones live. This engine is already too splashable and is just incredibility irritating to be on the other side of. Knowing your already dead but the other player takes more turns than they have too. As for the stun issue, kill those too. Skill drain, tcboo, gozen, hell even kill royal decree just out of spite. None of these cards are healthy, while mst by itself isn't good, the fact fountain turns any runic spell into an instant fusion, a hand trap and a graceful charity without the discard is just something i'd expect to be banned since like 2004, not something that's still legal. Every other take is a W except knightmare Mermaid and master piece, i think those are sketchy on different sides of that line. Personally keep mermaid banned and master piece limited would be my take but i think either of those being banned or limited are more than defaceable.

[@alexthegs2624]

I do not understand why people don't like fenrir, in my opinion it is an extremely healthy card, as a matter of fact any card that's good both going first and going second like imperm, talents etc. In a best of one format cards like these are extremely needed, and in a format filled with certain earth insects, it's great that you have a card that can sometimes be an end-board on it's own. I understand that people dislike kashtira, but hitting a card like fenrir is not the answer to that

[@CasualKeem]

People don’t like it because of the exact reasons you said. A card that drops itself on the field for no cost and can be, as you said, “an end board on it’s own” is not a healthy design. Most times it demands your full attention along with taking on what ever strategy your opponent sets up. It’s basically a way more accessible Draco Berserker, but that card is balanced by being a synchro monster. Fenrir can also search itself, so you can’t even say you are dealing with just 1. The card is fine limited to 1. Doesn’t need to be banned but limited is quite fine. And Kashtira is still one of the better decks in the game even with it at one copy.

[@alexthegs2624]

@@CasualKeem Heavy disagree, especially for a best of one format, cards that are good going first and second should be the main design point. Playing going second blowout boardbreakers sucks when you draw them going first, and when you draw none of them going second you lose badly because you can't play through the board your opponent set up. Cards that are good both going first and second should be the main design focus.

[@CLove-mo7cc]

Yeah we need the toad back, we need a good bahamut shark target again!

[@CasualKeem]

I disagree with at least 2 of these. Fenrir is honesty fine at 1 copy. That card is too easy to summon and it’s powerful effect has no cost; it also searches itself. Runicks as much as i don’t like them, i can hear the argument, except for Fountain. People work hard for a draw 1 or 2 and this thing draws 3 cards almost every turn. That gets annoying really quickly.

[@AndrewUdal]

If frog comes back tear will get a big boost. They can make toad and wit elf still legal they can just do what Spright would do, oh yea and kit is still in game so yea, don’t bring toad back. Fenrier ain’t in hell going back to 3 unless the macro body is banned. No one wants kash back.

I assume you’re talking about Bahamut shark to make toad in tear. Getting 2 waters on the field is not consistent

@@BreadBoyWeeb i mean it isn’t that hard though, certainly wasnt’ hard in tcg and we don’t have kit. Rhino still at 3, and Mudragon can be made pretty easily if you mill a name so making bahamut shark is super easy. There’s also a level 4 water that when milled can special itself.

[@Mastericee]

Ok in the case of Noir right now she’s being made with 5 to 7 materials yall VFD only has 2 also VFD can be impermed Noir can’t with all that material both cards in my opinion give you the exact same outcome a turn skip… So my point is this if one is considered a tower and that’s acceptable why couldn’t VFD be respected as such. Look at the similarities of how there summoned both Noir and VFD are mostly summoned in Defense that has to be taken into account because these cards are trying to defend your board. Now the non similarities are eye opening yall gotta understand Noir is made turn 1 In practically every game you face against purrely now for dracoslayers without masterpiece and VFD they’re underpowered but in most games they didn’t need to summon VFD turn 1 to PLAY….VFD has lingering on field effects but could be outed by discarding or using something in grave noir can’t be outed on field in hand or in grave because she bounces cards back idk losing a turn seems less bad than losing your cards and losing your turn… ITS REALLY WEIRD what some think is balanced now tbh. For me I think something that isn’t spammed out turn 1 excessively is balanced serious take…
