WHAT SHOULD YOU PLAY IN XYZ CUP? | *BEST* Decks/Combos | Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

[@Mazinger_Z1]

The worst part is that this is the first event they chose right after that whole WCQ grind so after we were done with ladder 2.0, we now have ladder 3.0 to do

[@MasterDuelCentral]

Sigh.. the next legend anthology cant come soon enough

[@whodamanme_]

Thanks for always putting these together. Shout out to the people who provided MDM deck lists!

[@Fusion_matricks]

Thanks for including my deck! I normally like going for multiple xyz so I can use the suck on dark knight lancer but I didn't have the gas to do so. I purposely went for magellanica to stack the deck and ensure follow up. I saw where the mikanko warrior pile was going and without his mikanko target for water, he ran out of gas.

[@spicymemes7458]

I have XYZ decks, probably my favorite mechanic, but honestly, I hope this is like Link Regulation, where they are shamed into not doing this again. Festivals are super low-key, mess around events for free gems, and maybe a mate or some cosmetic. Sometimes, two at the same time. This is just DC, but even more restrictive than normal, worse prizing, and no loaners. Casuals dont like how sweaty it is. Competitive players dont like how it's just not a normal cup where they can play with the new Yubel/Centurion stuff. The only reason why I'm doing this at all is because I have been watching Zexal, and I am in the mood, but this is really uninspired. Also, who tf let Lab in this event? That's just malpractice lol

[@kennypk]

Regular events are fun in concept but in practice everyone just scoops if they dont go first…so thats not really fun. I see your point tho

[@constabrielbell4523]

@@kennypkfunnily enough everyone wants to go second on the festival at least on my experience

[@kennypk]

@@constabrielbell4523 there are some festivals there going second is meta but then ppl just scoop when they are forced to go first 😭. This time there was some mikanko and blind second kash horus etc. But i don’t think the event is low power enough for going second to be the best strat

[@constabrielbell4523]

@@kennypk guess I am guilty for being a mikanko player. Xyz just doesn’t have really good archetypes going first these days aside from exosister. It’s always synchro or link getting love after all.

[@dragkigamer7944]

Playing lab mainly because i don’t want to invest into another deck just for the event and they don’t have loners so ill play what i can

[@aLousyBum83]

Mind blowing that they have all these goofy decks that literally don't even use the extra deck legal. What's the point of restricting the extra deck then?

[@randomsamurai3855]

Galaxy eyes all the way!

[@carlomeris2184]

Same bro and I want to destroy my opponents with my C62 xyz with the effect of galaxy eyes afterglow lol 11k all the way and if lucky you have honest in your hand that's 20k atk power Edit: Executing it is so hard because of interuptions like Ash Blossom and Called of the grave xd

[@donponcho1015]

Is anyone else getting like every game being just burn decks? I've done about 10 matches and only 2 were non burn

[@lalalalalalalala100]

Fire Kings are so good that they actually got me from master 5 to master 4 lol and I sucked early bc yubel spright is a thing so I think getting rid of their lvl 2 body that adds a normal summon was the correct play, I also had the spell for throne in case they had it and the opening (to avoid the 0/0 SS from gy) and after that there was follow up with Garunix in GY but they ran out of gas

[@lalalalalalalala100]

And I remembered I had response ON and they had a response to my quick effect after they normal summoned so I tought it might be grave squirmer so attempting to get rid of the body, they activated and I negated with photon lord (what happened with shawarma) so yeah W video

[@xenonim]

Just play few a hour a go. lot of play already stun to death by majestic fiend, powersink stone and sanaphond sky prison end board. Some death from deck lockdown, majesty fiend, imsety + hidden village of spellcaster which is fantastic. Purrely lose to just single deck lockdown. Purrely top tier? Think again once deck lockdown activated. Kashtira top tier?. Majesty fiend + wall revealing light game over for Kashtira as no monster can attack majesty fiend.

Would u say fire king or galaxy eyes deck is better for this event?

Oh I mean probably galaxy eyes honestly

[@webe9008]

alright so i must be dumb because nobody is asking about that interaction at 15:28 so i'm guessing everybody got that and i'm just an idiot, but in reality for the people who where listening to MDC, he says "he still gets the atk boost" which is not why dark lancer beats the numeron dragon, in reality when Xyz Armor Torpedo is equipped to a monster, during the battle phase that has that equipped monster in a battle, all other monsters have their effects negated and no effects can be activated, so numeron dragon goes back to 0 and the opponent takes the full 4k damage of dark lancer. Because no way that atk boost was over 41k

[@MasterDuelCentral]

Yeah I mispoke when recording the replay. I should have probably added a text prompt on screen to clarify when editing. My bad.

[@AdventStrife]

Ill be playing either my madolche or exosister deck i know madolche use a link but its still good to me.

always complaining about stun and its barely even in the format. keeping 1000 attack monsters alive with no recursion, consistency and free advantage and with the only good removal trap banned(punishment) is a lot harder than you realize. also daruma, existing, kills the deck. lab is worthy of complaining about here and i'd say its the most or 2nd most played in the format. mikanko as well.

[@MasterDuelCentral]

Lab is significantly more fun/interactive to play against than stun. Also I'm not complaining about stun players, I just don't like playing against it and I didnt face it a lot in the event which is a W. I don't see why you're always going on about the oppression of stun lmao. I don't like it, that's it.
