The core game is really good but anything outside of it is just so bad, like no way to get cards from selection pack after they expire, no interesting enough events or other modes/format, no good enough reward system or incentive to keep playing, very bad customization/personalization and socials system, and maybe most importantly people just can't build new decks fast enough before they get bored.

[@jamesruth100]

If they had picked up the pace of balancing for bo1 it'd probably would've held together longer, but there's a ton of issues intrinsic to the game. The other really big problems are the gem stranglehold and pack pacing. Gem prices are absolutely fucked and only become _kinda_ feasible when the limited purchase ones drop (ie. once every 20 blue moons), so nobody in their right mind is incentivised to buy gems, and the pace at which you get free gems is just ok. To top it off, you have a shitload of new archetypes getting added (and some that already existed) that have no secret pack. Selection packs should've either lasted forever or they should've been on the fucking ball with adding new secret packs, but noooo they can't exploit fomo if packs last forever (despite them ignoring that the fomo doesn't encourage people to buy gems, it encourages them to fucking quit). Basically if you got in early enough, you're at the crest of the wave, and always know what you want to build ahead of time gems aren't a major issue and selection packs give you a big enough window to pick up what you want. If you don't fit that demographic you're fucked; hope you like making alts.

I think the real take away here is that players still think of yugioh in the lens of archtypes and evaluate them based almost on the average of their card pool. In reality archtypes can be the central focus of a deck but 7/10 times you are better of stripping them down to like their best 12 cards at most and then mixing them with another 12 card engine filling the rest of the space with negates and using both as material fodder for the best extra deck monsters those will sometimes be in archtype kitkalos, ariseheart, purrly or be totally generic.

5:54 Runick Striker I’m playing it

[@gamewatcher2712]

To be fair mathmech is just kinda unlucky since the tear ishizu match up is probably on of the worst you could imagine while the deck also happens to be tier 0

I really wish konami treated MD better, I CANT play paper format, and really like the accessibility of MD. I've been meaning to make a switch to other programs but it's been hard primarily due to being PC only.

have you tried smth like ygo omega

Here's my small predictions for 2023: sweet room-maid is going to become a staple in md.

Does anyone else find Brain Control's errata all the more egregious by Change of Heart coming off the banlist?

A Take I Had This Year When Spright Was Announced I Thought It Wouldn't Be Good, Because I Was Under The Impression That To Special Summon Them They Would Need Another Spright Monster. Then I Reread That It Could Be Any Level 2

Why you capitalizing every word, G?

[@SammyK-jt3vv]

My big takes this year were: Tear will beat Spright (correct take) And Spright is a good but extremely healthy deck with the ronintoadin ban (so far it seems correct)

[@shark_2283]

Change my mind but desert twister should be the basis for a new arctype in the vain of the bestials

[@arkanamaster4961]

when Circle came off the list, i thought salad would now be one of the best rogue decks. Boi was i wrong.

UNIRONICALLY R-Ace is now topping in the OCG thanks to the DUNE cards. But like, so are 9 other decks…

[@mill_ania]

Honestly the Runick take IS kinda correct? In context of IRL competitive scenes. Yeah it's the primo bullshit stun deck people main in OCG after Eldlich got forgotten but it loses in practice and in popularity against based decks like Tri-Spright and Labrynth, and even Tear without Kit. As for MD, MD players are mostly bots anyway and floodgate Runick need no brain power to pilot, so it checks out.

[@lilsunny7399]

yeah that one about Crystal Beast throwing away a major event was just, so wrong. It's a consistent control strat that can sit on shit like bagooska and necrovalley while also later comboing into things like Zeus and lightning chidori. Plus with the new spell card the OCG is getting, the combo build might actually surface as a gimmicky OTK deck since its now easier than ever to set up 7 names, make overdragon, spin back everything then banish from GY for Overdrive.

[@lilsunny7399]

Addenum: there's still discussion after Golden Rule's TCG release as to which build is better but the combo build is seeming to be more popular right now I guess because it's more fun to play?

[@nnnp634]

I predicted Designator will be bad on the release but good in future tier 0 formats. Turns out it os not usable in this tier 0 format (although it was usable but not game breaking in adventure DPE format). Also, I thought Spright was going to be a very dominant deck before Ishizu bordering tier 0. It turned out to be "just" tier1

[@alexbrangan2885]

I still feel like Designator was a required card in pre-POTE Branded, just because everyone and their mother was running the full turn skip known as Dimensional Barrier.

[@nnnp634]

@@alexbrangan2885 Oh, I forgot about that. Well, I couldn't predict it being use as a stronger Prohibition either :) .
