[@hiimroo3120]

I started naturia runick about two months ago and went from always finishing low diamond to now master 3 comfortably without grinding for ages. I only really struggled against rogue decks as I only started yugioh with masterduel so I’ve only learned how to counter meta decks and didn’t know what lines were optimal to set up imo them. I really recommend the deck to people wanting to learn.

[@dusktorm2535]

I think Kash Punk should have been on the tier list because the punk cards are good on its own but with the added kashtira cards makes it even scarier to fight against imo.

[@simonvietjohansson8069]

I feel that I agree on all accounts with your ranking if was bringing a deck into a tournament but not if I was looking for the best deck to climb ladder with, which is the experience for most players. The ladder seems to be less about playing the strongest and more about getting your opponent to scoop faster. As such I think the reason why you see much Kashtira has been because they have good access to dshifter, macro cosmos and lava golem, which target the current tear lists quite well

[@Psynapseful]

Runick is great at getting people to scoop, they see one Hugin and they quit 😊

[@_g_h_]

no, you see so much kash because md players are largely casual, don't really follow the tcg/ocg, and so don't have any clue how playable or not kash is with only this first wave. if they had the presence of mind to play decent nonengine, why would they be on the psi beast ascended of thunder pile in the first place?

[@ninelie0854]

​​​​@@_g_h_ imo they did know and knew they are coping, they will play anything to make them playable and this worked by how md is bo1 ladder where you can just play jank and win or scoop and go next

[@adityawiryawan560]

I've tested the upcoming tear banlist in Ygo Omega, with the Punk engine + 3 Kash-teara, and all i gotta say. > Even with Ruler & Zombie Vampire mills, you only get to fusion summon twice. >The fusion you can only choose is to summon either Kitt into Rulkallos/Grapha with Swamp king > Thus, milling isnt as rewarding as with 3 fusions. > I predict that Tear would use inarchetype backrow/Summoning other type of summoning (particularly Xyz) more than milling just to fusion more than 2 times, but even that would have a chance of bricking > Even with diviner means that you're depending on your opening hand, since Schirenne cant fusion if it was used to summ Baronne. In short, they're pretty much balanced now, unless paired with Branded

[@polaloy6800]

Really agree with you.I think tear for now not about milling but reward from milling is too low,king of the swamp limit trap limit merli banned maybe need to wait kash tear revolution synchron or sinful spoil to rise again.

[@dhruv-k-mittal]

What do you think of the Runick Kashtira deck that's going around right now? I gave it a try just for fun in Master rank and have been shockingly successful. It's sort of a mid range Runick control deck where the win con is banishing your opponents entire deck with Runick cards and Mind Hacker.

[@RepTheoAndFriends]

Sounds interesting. I think there are several hybrids not represented in this tierlist. I am currently playing both in real life events and Master Duel Traptrix Naturia Vernusylph and it's going really well (In German Nationals I went 8-3 and in Master Duel I win most games.) It is a way to play Traptrix not many people try, where you don't play Trap Holes except Holetea.

[@MadTriix]

As a new player i find difficult to play some of these meta decks in MD, hope one day you can make guides for some of them.

[@OldFolkz]

I just joined the yugioh community when MD originally dropped. It was my first ever yugioh experience and i learned by just playing the deck. Yea you'll probably fumble all day but eventually you'll get it. Also if you feel like torturing yourself just watch your opponents disgusting combo. If you're playing the same deck you'll catch on eventually.

[@IAngelofFuryI]

If I get Maxx C'd playing Rikka I will end on the full board plus Rosewhip (instead of the second strenna). So unless they can kill me with just monsters, through 5-6 disurptions then it's just game over mostly. DRNM is the only thing I tend to worry about.

[@eleonarcrimson858]

? Monsters effects are 90 percent of what disassembles ur board most of the time. Since most archetypes are monster heavy. Only thing rosewhip is stopping after ur opponent drew 10000 cards are talents and called by.

[@IAngelofFuryI]

@eleonarcrimson858 That's the point, though. Outside of Kaijus dismantling a rikka board. You have Regulus(omni), Hyperiton(monster/spell negate and destroy), Benghlancer(monster bounce), Rikka Princess(monster negate from grave or hand). All of those will be online. If you had a NUTS hand, you'd also have Rikka Sheet(Enemy Controller) and/or Teardrop(Quick effect tribute). All while Konkon is on the field making it so you can tribute your opponents' monsters for cost. So they would have to deal with all of that interaction. Not to mention if you have things like Ash or Droll in hand or Impermanence on the board.

[@eleonarcrimson858]

and u think ur opponents can not dismantle that board with 20 cards in hand?@@IAngelofFuryI

[@IAngelofFuryI]

@eleonarcrimson858 Most things are once per turn. Unless they are capable of endless summoning of different monsters without the need for any spells or run things like Kaijus/Sphere Mode/Lava Golem, it's a non issue. Branded/Labrynth/Runick strategies would be more or less shut down. Swordsoul would be stopped before any synchro plays. Tear if it hits it's names could do it, maybe. Non Runick spright, maybe. If they can't make enough of a board, the very next turn Rikka could probably just Thrasher otk them.

I would be interested what you and everyone think about Dinos. Since its Bo1 going 2nd Dinos seem very good, as they have a very powerfull and even consistent otk, access to 3 misc and pank. Bystials help the deck aswell because it gives them access to baron with the scraps alongside their already powerfull lineup with appo/elf, Uct, the Borrel synchro and the rank 4 evolsaurs.

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

I've gotten a lot of of mileage off them, but going second is gonna become way worse soon, since Dinos just can't play through Ariseheart. The babies need to hit the GY to trigger.

@@joanaguayoplanell4912 Thats a good point. We might need to switch to going 1st, depending on how centrelizing Arise will be. Atleast Utc is a better book of moon and the dino endboard is still quite powerfull. The future support will help quite a bit too.

Kaleido-heart/rulkalos + cryme/suliek? And yeah kitalos is a insane card, sure, but she on her own doesnt do anything. she just facilitates mills, which is why she can be replaced with the magic dragon.

Thoughts on Crystal Beast and Dino (combo builds)? I've personally gotten a lot of mileage from them, near-effortlessly reaching Master, despite the tremendous handicap of refusing to play Maxx C on the decks.

[@turtle-bot3049]

Melffy spright struggles, but the cyber dragon engine fixes that issue with melffy spright. More 1 card combo access and not reliant on opening the spright cards since it has the ability to go into gigantic off 1 non spright card. Depending on the opening hand it can struggle against ash or nib, but the added consistency, less reliance on opening spright cards and higher ceiling is well worth it. It does need the CBTG/ash/crossout for the maxx C, but it has plenty of room for non engine, able to sit comfortably from 9 to 16 non-engine depending on how big or small you want to make the cyber dragon engine.

From what I've seen they are prone to bricking but a full board as a combo deck is basically a win. Being a field omni negate, 2100 burn damage for a monster effect, and a monster banish. Though I don't think that board is very consistent but if done is basically unstoppable

I think Traptrix is slightly better than this list suggests.

I went up against Dracoslayer for the first time the other day, just clicked buttons because i had no idea what the choke points were, and i somehow won anyway It definitely struggles going second quite a bit more than something like Lab does, but i think the idea of "going second means you auto lose" is largely just not true anymore Also Abyss Actor thoughts :)

[@ultradolp1335]

I would say Rikka can definitely play through Maxx C. While yes the sunavalon part is going to get hit really hard by maxx C, the petal line can play through maxx C with just 1 special summon with follow-up for every turn. And for brave plant pile you can definitely attempt to play through Maxx C

As a maximum coper that has been playing Sky Striker since day 1, what do you think the deck could receive to make it at least high tier 2/low tier 1.5? I don’t think Engage to 3 would change anything at all, like sure, that lets you maybe cut some striker cards for extra non-engine, but the deck already runs like 20 non-engine and evidently it is not enough lmao.

I played it in the TCG a lot during TOSS and it was my first deck that i made in MD.

You can sometimes absolutely demolish people going first and second winning a lot of games in a row but on the other hand i had 10+ loosing streaks where i got hit by maxx-c without access to some quick negates or just bricked.

[@SlaytonSlaytonSlayton]

@@domimomi3954 yeah that's true, Maxx C does give it problems since you can't really run hand traps in a pendulum engine. I know one guy won one of the duelist cups with it though and I got top 100 with it so I feel like it's still a really solid deck. But like you said, sometimes you go on streaks without getting Maxx C'ed and the deck feels unstoppable, sometimes you get Maxx C'ed a bunch in a row and just lose. If they ever ban Maxx C though, easy top tier deck.

I've build a 40-ish Branded Tear deck which literally always sees Branded Fusion (for real, the deck never struggled with that in the first place, it's always been about resolving it). Branded in High Spirits plus a Tear name goes into Tear plays and searches your Springans Kitt, which you summon after to search Branded Fusion (Or sometimes Branded in White cause you mill your Albaz's). Only 1 Reino cause that is the worst NS in the deck, still searchable with Kitkallos. And minimum 2 Saronir cause you'd be able to grab a milled Branded Fusion from the GY with Branded Retribution or vice versa (same with Main Deck Albion). Main Deck Lubellion just for the Branded Lost. And the deck is a heck ton of fun, but you don't really have space for non engine. 3 C 2 Called was the best I could do.

then you didn't play that much rank-up duels. Masterduel literally gives you the worst possible hands in those matches.

Drytron is unstoppable if you don’t stop them w hand traps so hold on brother your time is coming again soon! W for still playing them too I do the same w my strikers

[@knechd7542]

@@AstrologyGames yeah bro i believe next banlist orange and benten to 3 (will never happen) and then we could cook with the disco ball and give mr amorphactor pain a break

[@I-am-Rel]

Playing Swordsoul/Tenyi + Bystial I've had nice results with the small addition

[@julienkupet1989]

As a drytron player in the tcg, yeah this deck is not insane at all in MD In the tcg we have shifter, droll and bystial in side or main so its kinda weird but more playable for sure, also 3 benten

[@pepito3011]

I’m also a Drytron player and I cope with bystials by playing inscription at locals

[@rorschach4502]

As a drytron player, I'm finally on crossout designator lol. I've found the deck plays very similarly in md as it did in nationals season of 2022...that's when I was going undefeated by the way. Basically 2 Benten is enough to either play vanity's ruler (which was my tcg preference at that time) or for a better md matchup go for a full turn skip with amorphactor pain (which really makes maxx c feel like shit lol)

[@Bigparr43]

So, I know nobody uses it anymore, but I am an Umi Control main as I enjoy rogue control decks. Any thoughts about the rogue/lesser played side of things?

[@bongerman42069]

I see a lot of people trying to run Tear/Spright/Runic builds to try to prepare for the Merrli limit

[@differentgamingllc]

This new ban list is pretty good. I've been trying tear post ban list and now it's going to evolve into a better deck now. I've made a build with pure and branded, the branded build is straight gas!!! The pure build you have play a lot smarter and conservative. I've been thinking about playing Thunder dragon for new ban list some because that deck did not get hit and it focus on banish.

[@NewtBannner]

I got a Red Eyes, Blue Eyes, Dark Magician, and Exodia pile deck, where does that rank?

[@Clayvillain17]

Throw in the Egyptian Gods and you should easily make it to bronze!!

[@NewtBannner]

@@Clayvillain17 okay thank you! The deck is pretty good, I finally made it to Bronze 5 without the god cards, I could probably make it to Bronze 4 with the god cards and who knows Bronze 3?

[@SuperRederic]

as a big dark world enjoyer I can with out a doubt say it's tier 3 at make probably rouge because if your oppenent know what they're doing they can stop your gas with ease. I got pure kash to m1 and can say it's definetly tier 3 at best

[@ifdy1361]

Can someone enlightened me on how marincess is good ? I've tried it multiple times on multiple formats but still failing to see what's so special about marincess, last week i decided to learn sky striker and play it with 0 upstart goblin and manage to reach master 3

[@FortuneKOF]

Striker is a much easier deck to climb with

[@mattr791]

A bunch of 1 card towers with 25 non-engine is pretty good

[@jeffreychen217]

It's a pretty interesting deck in that the actual interruption it puts up turn 1 is very mid, but if you can survive till turn 3 you have an insane amount of grind game and follow-up that you will outresource all your opponents. Also like what other commenters have said, it's a deck full of one card starters where you can play 20 non engine.

[@senny-]

They also have a new combo in the TCG/OCG where they cheat out Barrier Statue

[@Zekromaegis_-yq2sx]

Also what about Bystial Thundra?

[@rorschach4502]

I smoke most of those t2 decks with drytron. Maxx C me... amorphactor pain cant wait

[@TheIncinerator12]

Where does ancient warrior stack up?

[@JoshuaSchmidtYGO]

I have no experience with that deck and I never see anyone else pilot it so im guessing its not that great? But even I dont know every single deck well these days

[@HCamui]

There have been 2.5 days passed, it seems that tearlament have gone. Now there are no tearlament player on Master 1. The regulation of tearlament is very effective and even branded tearlament hardly see in Masterduel.

[@matheusvfm]

It is missing lirilusc tri-bri, and thunder dragon Bystial

[@neusyns]

Bruh what happen to the chaos dragon on the wall. Why's it got a white splotch on it??

[@shawnpanzegraf5642]

Branded-D is now less consistent *overall* , but everyone coping by adding Branded Lost and a third Super Poly, even when it takes them to 41 cards makes the deck fairly infuriating to face when the stars do align. Edit: One hopes the next wave of Kash stuff gets the Preemptive Fateful Treatment.
