    Losing in Yu-Gi-Oh is not fun. We all know this. But your losses might not just be luck or your opponent's deck being expensive or top tier. Maybe it's your deck building. We've got a checklist of things to improve the cards in your deck.

    Hi Paul,
    Here's my take, taking meta vs non meta out of the picture:
    #1. Stop doing flashy plays with no purpose, when you can do a dull combo to output 8000 damage than do a flashy combo that outputs less damage. I like X monster better but X monster makes you lose.
    #2 Summon contradiction. Needing 2 normal summons to combo sounds like a problem. But not just normal summons but the restrictions established.
    Side note: 6 normal summons (including cards that search them out) aka cards that reach the same card.
    #3. Your deck's strategies is auto countered by main stream techs. Being aware of the meta landscape. If people main call by the grave and all your effects are grave centric... Perhaps stop relying on those effects until the cards are less popular. Or your deck lacks answers to untargetable bosses or your side deck is useless.
    #4 Not aware of PSCT: resolving effects incorrectly and getting called out. #1 reason why people lose. Read your cards... You thought an effect did something but then a ruling expert drops by and says it doesn't.

    • @romkin1197

      I play Dark Worlds IRL (pure build or as pure as possible), and people Ash Blossom the deck, but considering the deck has tons of draw power, that card doesn't work well against Dark Worlds. (Droll is a far superior option). But then there is Called By The Grave which can really hurt your major power plays. And because that is so rampant in the game, my deck is merely collecting dust. (Until we get that new Nobleman card and even then the deck won't benefit too much from it.)

      Zerotron 123 you use his 40 card build or 60? To be honest I think you should never 100% copy someone’s build. You should find ratios that work for you. My Pendulum deck changes up to fit my needs, like last week in locals I kept bricking with 40 cards and struggled going second so Im testing some more cards to help with that. I also upped to 45 card deck to see how that works. I say use other deck profiles for references or ideas of cards you can tech in or see how their ratios work for them. I had that problem using someone’s trickstar deck profile and It didnt feel right and a brick hand to me might be a decent hand for the person whose list I got it from

    You are not wrong. Decisions in deck building and knowing what you’re going to fight against is very important. The problem then becomes a TCG Rock Paper Scissors just with more variables. Strategy does indeed play a part, but at some level there is a series of rock, paper, scissors.
    However, if I take a $10 Triamid deck against a $150 True Draco deck, I’m more than likely gonna get my ass kicked. Reason being, the true Draco deck has a lot of GOOD decisions in its expensive, pricey decisions. But still good decisions.
    Triamids can have good decisions, but I only have $10 on me so I can’t afford Demise, twin twisters, etc. Basically, what I’m boiling down to is, stay in your lane. Don’t take your penguin deck to a YCS lol

    Great video guys. I'll probably share it with some of the beginners in my group. Though to be fair, sometimes it does come down to money. But that's only like 15% of the problem if it's same tier vs same tier levels. My example would be, let's say 2 players are both playing Dragunities. One of said players can't afford Barcha. Barcha is currently the bread and butter of combos right now it seems. Both are very playable and strong. But one of them will be able to pull off just that little bit more. The same with decks that can use Pot of Extravagance well. If you can't afford the PoE, you probably won't do as well as the player that can. But all of your points are very valid. Once again, great video!

One lvl 7 and the other 7 are lvl 8. x3 Blue-Eyes, x1 Alt Blue-Eyes, x1 Dragon Spirit of White, x1 Blue-Eyes Chaos Max Dragon, x1 Divided Dragon Lord Felgrand, x1 Ark Brave Dragon and even with 8 my deck runs fast and keeps going alot by draw power, sending to grave to summon back from grave, ECT.. cards. I also find 8 the perfect number because Blue-Eyes is a lvl 8 dragon. The rest of my monsters are lvl 4, 3, and 1.

  • @romkin1197
    @romkin1197 Před 5 lety +2

    Team APS, here is a story from near the end of MR3 when I played competitively.
    So Metalfoes were released in the OCG, I seen a deck list that topped a locals, I gave it a shot to learn the deck. The build was using Cyberstein for shenanigans. After I got the build down, I tweaked it for the TCG for when they would come to the TCG. I had to drop quite a few cards to throw in cards like the Magispecter engine (bunbuku into kirin), a couple of Archfiend Eccentric, I even managed to fit in 3 Amorphage Sloth (As it can lock out the extra deck for the opponent if I went first with my Ultimaya Tzolkin build), the deck also ran Summon Limit.
    When I was tweaking it, I saw Pot of Riches and thought "Oh well, since Metalfoes can pop their other metalfoe pendulum monsters for its effect, this should be easy to pull off." Unfortunately, even though it was easy, it did stop Ultimaya Tzolkin, Fusion plays as well. But I was really stubborn with this card and left it in, despite it being a dead card 90% of the time. In hindsight, I should had dropped it for something more useful.
    So I would say, even if in theory that a deck could make use for a card in a realistic setting, the card may not even work out or be more of a hindrance.

    • @RNGHater
      @RNGHater Před 4 lety

      Monarchs are usable but can be bricky. Cydras are a very viable Rogue deck, but now Cyberload Fusion and Nachster can be a bit expensive (22 and 8-10 euros as of now) and you also want to run a lot of actually expensive backrow removal (Lightning storm, evenly...) if you run the OTK build. Personally I'm more of a Cydra Stun fan, which I guess it could be more budget friendly as you prefer to go first and you might do okay w/o Lightning Storm.
      The deck used to be more expensive, but the Cyber Emergency reprint helped a lot to make it more budget friendly. I would recommend it, but test it first to see if it fits your style :)

      Sometimes I miss having a deck that wasn't so streamlined. I miss those grind games against my friends. Those duels where we were both waiting to draw certain cards for our combos to go off. Those times where a duel could instantly turn into the other player's favour. And most importantly, when a deck slowly dismantled an opponent's field, turn by turn, until you eventually attacked for game.
      It was nice being able to play out your turn and seeing what the opponent was playing during their turn and then getting back to your turn to figure out where to go from there.
      Those were simpler times...if only my friends could see what this game has become nowadays. I feel like it would be a big shock to their systems.

    Thanks guys. I enjoy putting together decks and playing them against each other. Most of my decks are constructed out of booster packs, absolutely no premade decks so their are a lot of substitutes. I've only watched in full, the first real Yu-Gi-Oh anime. The others I caught bits and pieces but the characters and their personalities just didn't appeal to me. I like the fact that everything is new to me coming back into the game after a decade. The rules don't seem to have changed much. Though it was out, the banned list was never an issue because we've never played FTK or OTK decks. Combos weren't even a thing back then. These new decks are a lot of fun and despite what people say, building a deck based on cards only because they look cool is actually fun & if you're goal is a challenge, trying to make them all work together is the best part. I'd like to see you guys do that and I'm sure Trell will rise to the challenge. No specific architypes on purpose, strictly based on looks then later after the "vanity draft" then building a functional deck and dual. I think Trell & Paul would be an awesome match up with that.

    As a Red Dragon Archfiend player I had problems in the past with Ratios and Normal Summons. Now I'm doing great. Got a Abyss/Void Ogre Turbo build.

    I run two copies of Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell and side two copies of Awaken the Dragon. Was thinking of adding a Skill Drain to be extra annoying.

    There’s also traps literally made to advance your strategy but dodge effects at the same time it really does depend on the deck

    I haven't been a Yu-Gi-Oh player for a long time but I remember back when I used cyberdragon and mained a 60 card deck of it (online, I play here and there on Yu-Gi-Oh dueling Nexus.)

    Honestly all of this stuff makes sense for me one of the big problems is i want to play a specific deck but i don't know what to have in it because i haven't played since XYZ monsters and all this new stuff makes me question what should be in this deck. How do you go about finding out what cards would work in the deck you want to make?
    Great Video :D

      Looking up deck techs on CZcams is a good start. You can at least get some ideas. Google your decks archetype too and you should be able to find some lists so you can see things other players do. And of course the community is always here.

    My strategy is to test a deck through like duel after duel, and after about 10 or so, remove any cards that never saw play and replace them. Rinse and repeat until your entire deck gels together well

    I tend to stick to 10 traps 5-6 dosent seem to cut it in a hapie deck i could be wrong but I'm also running 3 hysteric soooooo I dunno if soul charge wasnt too big on lp cost per monster summon it could have worked as a replacement for hysteric party (I guess)

    Back when i first started winning games, cause I actually started learning how the game worked. I told my friend to abandon what he believed in if he wanted to git gud... he built fables. Some people just can't grow out of the heart of the cards mentality.

    Hey thanks for the vid. I know both as a returning player and a new player this video helps. I know I have a bad habit with ratios. Need to play test more but no one to test with and no internet so it's test hands aka solitaire lol

    I use a Dark magician deck from the ‘legendary dragon deck box’ (for I am but a filthy casual) and my friend uses a relatively old but still has 4000 attack point cards. And it is amazing how I win almost every time.
