Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel | Ritual Beast Guide! Combos, Strategy and More!

[@pluto4816]

always appreciate a thorough guide to a deck

[@demacry]

I'm so excited for Small World getting added to the card pool. I hate running Shifter just because it's dead after turn 1 (even though it wins the game if you do have it turn 1). With Small World though, Droll and Shifter let you search out every RB monster except Lara, or if you've already got combo you can use every not-Lara monster in your deck to get an Ash or Droll to hand for another layer of disruption.

I was so happy when spirit charmer deck came up, sadly I got hiita as the promo, and also sadly it focuses on the possesed familiar of the earth and fire elements, rather than all equally. Still I hope this gets to be good someday, it would make me give modern yu gi oh a try.

Gusto and Ritual Beast best decks!!!

[@illusionzfgc3397]

Gonna have to sell my car to build this deck LOL. Great video jokes aside gonna build this deck real soon and possibly main the deck. Really good stuff

[@Dekross]

It's crazy that this was considered expensive 2 years ago lol

[@theoramos]

loving the content keep it up!

[@BlackSwordsmanKazuto]

Made this deck today on my bday and having fun with it

[@carlosroberto8861]

I'm playing Legacy Of The Duelist and unfortunately and I don't have access to a few cards like Wynn and Pot Of Prosperity

[@RandallHidalgoS21allas96]

I like to add 1 bond for otk's, but it's true isn't necessary

[@ivana6828]

My god the combo are so much harder and longer than my dinos 😂 I'm gonna have a hard time remembering all this definitely need a lot of practice

[@SlingerOfPuns]

Thanks a lot for the Video, I am happy one of my favorite Archetypes gets some love but there is one question I have. Shifter is great and made some People ragequit. However he becomes pretty much "useless" the moment I have something in my graveyard. Considering getting stuff banished helps me and shuts down a lot of decks, I was thinking of adding at least 2 M. Cosmos traps. Is there anything in the decklist which is "replaceable" for those? Sorry if you answered it in your video and I missed it.😶

[@EliaIlProfeta]

I was indeed gonna ask about nemeses corridor, seems pretty good in this deck, so do you think it isn't worth it?

[@whirlwynnd]

seems great if you can highroll it. Otherwise it doesnt really contribute to much. Might be something fun to try out on stream though

[@limpytrad]

So is this deck basically "draw elder or perish"? Or can you show us some non-elder plays to make up for a bad hand?

[@whirlwynnd]

I was gonna make a follow up video on the deck after I went on a 19 game winstreak in plat 1 with the deck but something ended up happening to the vod files. I'll probably work on another one soon though.

[@limpytrad]

@@whirlwynnd Please do! This deck is super fun to pilot (probably not to watch from the other perspective though lol) so any optimal plays with suboptimal hands that you can point out would be fire. Thanks!

[@chanlsdon6176]

@@whirlwynnd Your skill in piloting this deck is amazing, would really appreciate a video for non-elder plays. I often got stuck when I don't draw elder and just have to pass.

WHAT ABOUT GNOMEMATERIAL???? IS IT A GOOD HANDTRAP FOR THIS DECK?????????????????

[@YagamiLightRyuuk]

Have you read D Shifter?

[@wallycastagnir]

Honestly i understand why they reducex the time

[@ender8170]

any updates to the list as the sets come out?

[@whirlwynnd]

So far with additional sets coming out, the lists have mostly looked the same. Ive been messing around with DPE variants but my favorites so far has me the shifter builds

[@miguelguzman2898]

How do you beat a dragoon? Or a dpe on board. I feel like so many monsters just clog up the hands at times

[@whirlwynnd]

Its pretty simple really. DPE isnt in master duel yet and Dragoon is banned.

[@whirlwynnd]

@@miguelguzman2898 build would be different in tcg. Different engines and tech choices

[@miguelguzman2898]

@@whirlwynnd reason I'm asking is because it looks Like a standard build even irl. What techs would u recommend

[@whirlwynnd]

@@miguelguzman2898 resolved dragoon will be a problem so trying to stop it from happening is the biggest priority but in the case, TTT, Droplet, Kaijus come to mind. They can't verte under macro or shifter so that helps. Also the DPE package can also be used here

[@ender8170]

I noticed this video is pretty old

[@sacriiwar1026]

Well in my opinion Macro Cosmos is 10X better than dimension shifter; because dimension shifter effect juste stay one full turn... Even if you can use it during your ennemies turn its not worth it in my opinion And you have 3 in your deck only 1 will be trully used the 2 other are useless and used only to get better chance to get it First turn after that they are juste dead card... Macro Cosmos destroy a lot of deck and reinforce your own deck by making the nightmare wynda wall for example and more important ITS STAY on the fields XD Drytron vs Macro cosmos they cry if they have nothing to destroy it Even with herald summoned lol! I personally prefer max c over Ash because its just easier to use.... max Do +1 or more card average... when ash is juste a negate it gonna gonna do -1 card... Even if maxx c is negate by a ash its worth it in my opinion XD I did trade One Nibiru for one Lava Golem, because lava golem have a nice effect too that you can recyle with pettlefin and use him Each turn as long as your ennemies have at least 2 monster on his side XD And Lava golem Summon can't be stopped... Nibiru summon can be stopped by a lot of deck and different effect because its effect need to be activated.... Like herald of ultimatness in a drytron deck for exemple! I also prefer Teleport emergency over Wynn because its basicly the same thing exept that you don't need to discard XD but its limited to 2 so i still keep 1 wynn in my deck XD Finally one of the biggest Weakness in Ritual beast deck is there is almost no card to deal with backrow.... RB have a nice dodging effect so most m/p are useless vs them.... But some card continue can be a true knightmare for us.. So I add harpy Feather to destroy all the ennemie MP! I loved your video bro, Ritual beast are truly one of the best archetype since its release XD

[@whirlwynnd]

Dimension Shifter is miles better than Macro Cosmos especially in a best of 1 setting and is definitely worth it. Same logic applies where shifter is only good turn 1 and 2, macro is also only good turn 1. By that point, the opponent has already established a board past turn 1 where the card loses out on its usefulness and many decks run backrow removal in twin twisters, duster and lightning storm so its hardly reliable there either. Being able to shifter on your opponents first turn while going second is massive as it not only pretty much puts a stop to their turn but also makes it so you can't get hit by maxx c, droll, Veiler or droplet. Gives you the room to set up and blast their following turn with steeds. RB generally cannot play through a full established board with negates and shifter can prevent that from happening. You'd be better off siding macro when you know you can guarantee first vs a matchup where its most relevant. Also just like shifter, Macros are also dead in multiples Lava Golem is terrible here. It eats your normal summon and defeats the purpose of trying to retaliate. Deck building should be as consise as possible where mixing going first cards and going second cards should be built with a grain of salt. Bouncing lava golem back isnt going to be relevant as if youre in the spot where you are successfully breaking boards with pettlephin, youre already in a winning position. E teleport over Wynn is absolutely incorrect. Can't be more clear than that. Overall I'm glad you enjoy the content. Thats why I'm creating content like this to give a better focus and streamlining what you should be trying to achieve when playing a deck like ritual beast which can have some convoluted lines of victory

[@sacriiwar1026]

@@whirlwynnd Ty for your detailled answer XD Can you explain to me why E teleport over Wynn is incorect? Because its basicly do the same tuto effect exept its special summon over geting in the hand.... Discarding can be nice if you have dimension shifter or macro cosmos set but if not? For Lava Golem i disagree, because what are you going to do if you face a monster undestroyable by effect and untargetable, Steed and pettlefin gonna be useless in this case same for monster like dark cavalry or herald of ultimatness if you don't have dimension shifter or macro set... Lava Golem provide the answer, and the worst for the ennemies is when he see lava golem get back in your hand ready for the next turn! Its true lava golem consume your normal summon but you just have to set an ambush to solve the problem and then summon kimumfalco if ou still need your normal summon! Not to mention there is a very few monster in yugioh who can't be tribute... In all the actual Meta the is nothing to counter lava golem... But there is plenty negate for Nibiru! My point is not to Trade 3 Nibiru for 3 Lava its not gonne be effective at all.... But just trade One Nibiru for 1 Lava golem :) I did watch almost all your RB video (i love this archetype XD) And i noticed that you almost never use pettlefin, because in most case steed is a better choice and you prefer to use canna, ranpan or apelio effect and you are right XD But with lava golem you are going to make pettlefin more usefull not to mention that the pettlefin/lava combo is very funny to do hahaha XD Lava Golem is nice because he can get rid of 99.9 monster of yugioh as long as there is 2monster on ennemies field! Pettlefin, steed and nibiru can't say the same, there are a lot of monster who can resist their effect, and it can be easily negated too! Lava is truly hard to negate and with ambush and kimunfalco you have absolutely no problems to retaliate after cleaning ennemies board ;)Give a try to lava golem you just have to set ambush to make it effective! Basicly when you are set with banishing rb and one ulti rb on the field OR ambush it mean that EVERY TURN you have 2monster removal wich is not destruction and not target its a tribute.... without consuming any ressource exept your normal summon... and a discard from pettlefin to get it back in the hand... Its truly unfair combo if you ask me XD Imagine Steed but after being use you discard one to get it back in hand... Pretty much the same exept that its not destruction but tribute XD And this make a lot of difference because destruction trigger a lot effect and can be negate but tribute almost none.... I will try again Dimension shifter, but the problem with this card is you Must get its in first hand... If not the card became useless and you have 3 useless card in your deck that you can drawn later... This is the only reasons why i prefer macro cosmos over it.... well and the fact it last just one turn... I mean if you could use the 2 other dimension shifter in your deck it would be ok but we can't there is card in the graveyard after that at least the first dimension shifter... And ennemie don't always have a m/p removal the first turn you use macro cosmos... Not to mention that you often tuto 2 RB trap with ulticanna so..... I wanted to thanks you for your contents, because i used to play RB but when kimunfalco gaiapelios and steed wasnt released yet XD So you basicly tough me to used kimunfalco and find a better use at ranpengu! (i didn't like ranpengu before love him now XD) Ps: I remember luna light dancer how do you deal with this monster with pettlefin and steed? Knowing that most of the time dancers is equiped with power of the guardian making undestrucble by battle? My answer to this kind of monster was lava golem years earliers, and i think its still the same answers todays XD I did a match with lunalight where he just couldn't kill me because of my wynda wall lol but i couldn't rid of its dancers.... The dancer got 23K atk at the end of the duel which ended by not being able to draw XD Since then i putted a lava golem XD just one to get rid of stuck situation XD

[@whirlwynnd]

@@sacriiwar1026 reason for Wynn vs e teleport is variety. Teleport never finds you spiritual beasts which means you have to open it with cannahawk to be live. You also don't set up a better board than when you can with Wynn. Youre given 2 extra searches with Wynn than you are with e teleport with hawk so you actually +1 more off of Wynn than you do setting up e teleport. Only case is if Wynn gets hit by ash but if youre relying on either Wynn or teleport to combo then getting ashed on either one roadblocks you anyway otherwise they're used as better extenders. Ive played far too many games with Lava Golem in RB to know that its not playable. In here and duel links. Eating up the normal summon is killer and ive gone through in the video several times why you should be aiming to stop your opponent from setting up. If they resolve herald with 5+ negates, 1 lava golem doesnt solve that because they have immediate follow up anyway with their hand and the engine that is drytron. You effectively pass turn after using lava golem which does nothing. The real alternative you SHOULD be playing is Gadarla. Deals with the same threats, while not eating up your normal summon. Its also a wind attribute in the case of barrier statue of the wind which is commonly played in bird up

[@whirlwynnd]

@@sacriiwar1026 Turn 2 you can't ambush anything nor can you activate ulti kimunfalcos under lava golems restriction. Also steeds deals with dark cavalry which nobody is playing in the first place. A lot of these comments are being based off of the best case scenario for things to go your way and not the average case scenario. I wouldn't be maindecking a card like lava golem for the .1% chance we run into drytron, where we draw the unsearchable out to herald, our opponent has 0 follow up whatsoever and we can combo off the turn after and win. Its just hyper unrealistic

[@sacriiwar1026]

@@whirlwynnd But lava golem is not a card you want Turn 1 or 2 anyway... Its card you want to draw later in the game IF the match is not set in the first 3 turn and if you are kind of stuck see lava golem as an extra deck monster exept that he is in main deck.... There is no problem to activate kimunfalco effect there is no restriction with lava golem, it just count as a normal summon.... You miss understood what i say... You dont use kimunfalco effect to summon lava golem you can't, kimunfalco can only normal summon rb monster ^^' You first use lava golem, then ambush then you summon kimunfalco and use his effect to summon a beast or a tamer you have in your hand.... You want another example? If you are doing a Miror match vs another ritual beast... Nibiru is useless vs RB because they can defuse to dodge... But they can't with lava golem tribute... Why? Because RB defuse effect react to the activation of nibiru effect wich is quick effect by the way! But Lava golem don't activate its effect its a passive effect... So RB can't defuse for its tribute! Nibiru clean more monster and don't consume normal summon but can be stop and there is a lot of deck in the meta who have cards in their deck to negate it ^^' Well i was just sharing my experience with lava golem if you don't want to try its your choice :) But Lava Golem truly shine in Rb deck and its a card undervalued by a lot of ppl, there are few counter to lava golem but none played actually in the meta... Yeah Even Solemn judgement don't stop lava golem bro just think about it XD Actually it destroy the lava golem but after the tribute so its fine XD and it deal a lot of damage because of solmn judgement loooool
