Top 10 SR Rarity Staples in Yugioh Master Duel

In this video we'll be going over staple card's, cards which are usable and pretty much any deck, that are of the SR rarity, and I'll be avoiding any that are limited or semi-limited, because the Master duel ban list loves to limit some of the really good Staples, so those are pretty obviously good by they're restricted status.

10-Eater of Millions: (0:16)
9- Ice Dragon's Prison: (1:59)

Evenly Matched is great in the lower ranks. Had the occasional opponent lose everything instead of everything-minus-one after trying to MST negate it.

[@mach95a113]

OOF

[@EinSilverRose]

The only reason Sekka's Light was limited in TCG is because Konami didn't print it as a short print Secret Rare.

[@limbertcaceres8069]

It could be nice to have a list of Sr, R or N cards that can do similar things to the UR staple cards like Infinite Imperm or Call by the grave, Efect veiler to help F2P players

[@luisss3929]

In the master duels meta website you can search a card by specific words and filter by rarity so is easier to find cards that have a similar effect to UR or SR (obviously way weaker, and sometimes similar effects don't exist)

[@luisss3929]

If you want an R to negate monster effects I would say that forbidden chalice is the way to go, although lost wind can be better in some decks.

[@raeserec535]

veiler and imperm can be subbed by psyframe gamma(SR though gamma is at 2 and requires you to run a garnet), called by the grave can be somewhat substituted by dd crow and skull meister for the banish effect but they can never do what called by is good for, which is negating hand traps

[@Rurike]

A decent sub for forbidden droplet or some other monster negates is actually forbidden chalice, which is only an R rated card.

[@BlazingSun46]

If your deck can run it Herald of Orange Light is also pretty good

[@jasonguo2141]

That's OK The shadow realm is a lie anyway

[@misirtere9836]

I actually went up an opponent who set up a Skill Drain turn 1 and still beat them with my Lunalights. Although that's mainly because the best Lunalight is Kaleido Chick, whose best part of their effect is the activation cost, which cannot be negated. Doesn't stop literally everyone I go up against from negating it, though.

Its not, Master Duel is its own format that combines TCG and OCG. People really should call it the Master Duel *Format.*

I'd love to see a video on best Link 1 monsters. There are a lot of Link 2 ones, where you can pretty much choose whatever your deck can go into most often. But for Link 1 I pretty much only know three, that are somewhat generic but still might just work with maybe a few monsters in a deck: - Linkspider (only works with normal monsters/ tokens) - Linkuriboh (needs a level 1 monster) - This Salamangreat one (needs something with low attack)

[@LikeTheBirb]

Linguriboh uses a lvl 4 or lower Cyberse and has Trap negation Imduk also uses a Normal Monster I think a Magistus link uses generic Spellcaster Secure Gardna is often used with Salamangreat Link 1 to help load up the GY and grab a LIGHT in Invoked decks Gravity Controller uses any non-link in the EMZ ReLINKquished can use any lvl 1 and can steal a monster And of course Striker Dragon and Guardragons exist

[@ShiningJudgment666]

@@LikeTheBirb It's Relinquished Anima. It can't use Tokens though plus it has a play with Instant Fusion and Thousand-Eyes Restrict that has potential. The Magistus Link monster is Artemis. Link Spider is another one that requires a Normal monster. Link 1s aren't really generic since it's very easy to break them as it's essentially a free Extra Deck summon.

[@joshdavis6830]

Ice Dragon's prison! Such a good card. For starters, against a lot of archetypes it's just a 2 for 1, grave hate on good removal, holy crap. Better against Tribal strats, but potentially maindeckable in some metas, and insane in game 2 a lot of the time.

[@MrLeemurman]

I think a good idea for a video would be going over the jargon of YGO TCG, for example, explaining what a "burn deck" is, or what a "flood gate" card is. I think that'd be cool for new people interested in the game. That is, if you haven't made one already. Btw good work Hiru, i like your WoW channel as well.

[@vicentegeorge9059]

I'm curious why no one ever mentions "Pot of acquisitiveness", is also an SR and the effect is relatively good, "return 3 banished cards to your deck, draw 1 card" I used it on my RDA deck to reuse chaos black dragon

[@solomongrundy1905]

Not even five minutes into the video and I've noticed five grammatical errors in the yellow text. Idk what's going on with this video, but it definitely needed another look over. Really ruffles my feathers.

[@windystick7347]

You should do a “top smallest archetypes” list. That’d be interesting

[@thek838]

A ton amount of players just attack into Eater of millions when I play him, clearly not reading or knowing the banish thing works also if they attack into it. And mostly just that stops them. Yugioh player's reading lol.

[@misirtere9836]

In one of my Gold rank games, I had a duel against a Blue-Eyes player. I had a Borrelsword on the field that had used I:P Masquerena as one of its materials. What I:P Masquerena does is if you Link climb with it, it provides a lingering effect that prevents destruction from card effects. My opponent negated Borrelsword's effects with Blue-Eyes Solid, then (admittedly understandably) tried to destroy it with Blue-Eyes Alternate, which doesn't work because lingering effects are incredibly broken and can't be negated. Now, this all sounds fairly reasonable. What was not reasonable is that the same player then tried to destroy the same Borrelsword with the same card effect two more times. That's not just not reading. That's quite literally the definition of insanity.

[@thek838]

​@@misirtere9836 Oh I have fun like that with darklords like that and some people do that exact thing to. The fusion Lucifer has "Your opponent cannot target Fairy monsters you control with card effects." yet they will try to target anyway... then on top of that greater fusion into him makes him immune to destruction effects. So the other player will smartly play dark hole to no effect, then try some other card. Then on top of all that go into extra deck monster they have to try take it out but that card will say "Target" therefore the only thing he could target was his own monster just popping himself lmao. It's like you already used 2 cards that didn't work and one was dark hole. Oh and in my traptrix deck it's funny how many times your opponent will just be like welp I know you have 4 Hole cards set and a Sera on the field but I am gonna summon a easy to destroy beatstick anyway, then proceed to do that until there cards have ran out and lose. It's actually more common for people to think they can just play through it than just realising they have no out or need something else. Sometimes a smart player will come across and realise that they've lost right away. It's funny cause one match could be against someone who just has full meta deck setting up there impossible board. Then there is just ones who don't even have way's to remove stuff without it been target or destruction also that box tends to also be full of people who don't read. I don't quite understand how were all in the same rank when it's pretty clear these people should not be in the same level as me. I would say gold is roughly were I should be but people i run into I am like why ain't you Plat? or why ain't you still bronze/silver lol.

Top 10 cards that are banned in the tcg but not in master duel

[@barneypurple3435]

I found out the existence of Scapeghost(SR Rarity) where it's essentially a monster flip effect version of Scapegoat where it's limited in Master Duel where I found that Scapeghost is a good substitute where you could use the tokens as Defensive Wall or you could use it for Link Summoning additionally the tokens can be used for Tribute Summoning too. Scapegoat is better but you could have 3 copies of Scapeghost.

[@SpottedZebra]

The one way ghost can be better is if you have a deck that can flip stuff, it's possible to use it right away cuz it doesn't stop you from summoning the turn it activates.

Thunder Dragons actually do very well against droll and lock bird and skill drain! Obviously not perfectly, but usually skill drain hinders my opponent more than me since most of my effects can activate off the field. It really just shuts down titans destruction effect. And maybe my opponents use it at the wrong time, but usually when they activate droll I've already searched what I needed and have everything I need, which let's me save any more searches for next turn. Plus a lot of my effects can send from the deck to the field, graveyard, or banished which sidesteps droll.

I mean, are we talking over all staples included, or power level of the archetype included or playability by buying 3 structures? Because the answer differs immensely: If we are talking about pure generic staples that will save you UR, the dark magician structure is the best because it includes the magician soul engine (saves you 6 UR). Power level of the archetype that is a tie between blackwings and salamangreat. Playability wise by buying 3 structures, i believe only dragonmaid and ninja will give you the basically all the UR you need (excluding the handtraps/staples). Close contender being the salamangreat structure, missing couple SR extra deck monsters and accesscode. Apart from that all the solo gate/starters are shit giving you almost no good URs.
