Check mate

XD damn

Thats why most people stop playing. The secondart market destroys the game. Dont believe me? Explain a $15 imperm in a $14 structure deck...

Lmao

It's happening more and more often. There are far too many expensive staples. There is no reason why I should have to spend over a grand before I even start on my engine cards.

Also 2 called by is great to stop most common hand traps while crossout hits the same cards and at the same time a different range of cards making both complement each other way more

But then you drop it down to one

I drew my main target with it half the time 😩

@Daniel Well, yes. Since the declared card (Gamma) was not in his deck the first time, it was an illegal activation and the Crossout went back to his hand, not considered to have been activated at all. He was then Gamma'd. Further into his combo, he activated it again, declaring "Nibiru", which, again, he had sided out. The Crossout went back to his hand again, and he got Nibiru'd.

@Daniel I [don't understand] that reference, sorry. (Is that a JoJo reference?)

lol

I have a playset and have nothing go to play it in haha

@@ThePinkishObject find something... anything! Or on the brightside they can't make your non-existent deck brick lol

@@cambo006 I would put it in tribrigade, but I'm going to hold off on playing brigade at the moment because I'm going to sell accesscode since it's so high and have other decks, I also got live twin too which can play it really well, but then I noticed the person was trying to scam me

I’m playing 6 in my deck It bricks everytime but yolo Don’t tell anybody tho 😌

100% agreed!! People saying "it's mandatory to main in salad" have clearly never playtested it. But is a good sidedeck option for sure tho.

This. After play testing it in salad, it's a game 2/3 card. After reading this, I'll probably throw it in the side deck. I was consistently powering through hand traps with cards like Parallel Exceed and extra salads in hand for discard fodder (except for the off chance that someone plays Nib in game 1). You can play through 2 interruptions (3 if you draw good) but if they don't have Nib and you draw the Crossout, it's basically a dead card. I'd rather have an extra extender than a silver bullet for one use case.

In my experience so far i think its mandatory to side at least 2 if you are playing one of the 3 to 5 most popular meta decks because you will absolutely find it useful game 2 or 3 in the mirror match. Dragon link has been my main since thunder dragons lost their best boy #FreeColossus ... and i thought it would be great in the main deck but d link has run fine without it but i do have 2 in the side to use for the mirror or when i see fit. Also noe that i said it doesnt seem neccessary mained in d link some pro will come out with d link needing cross out to be best again lol

I also tried it in Salad and would rather have any other good staple like a torrential tribute that has a high impact on the board-state regardless of the situation. Side decking also uses 3 otherwise good options like floodgates (gozen/rivalry) which Salad can play in and are good against Nibiru.

Conclusion: salads best deck 👌

lancea

I can’t do 45 card deck 😕40 max

Tbh that's what I was thinking about doing too

For salads it's worth running for the rock.

This is a good take but not 100% true

@@TheWorstDuelist agreed, I think it’ll see more main deck use Post BODE

The original card effect that crossout chained to goes through.

You open a wormhole in the space time continuum…duh

Chain Link 1 resolve normally lol

Yeah also if your deck doesn't have at the very least 15 free spots, I simply can't see how you can fit enough crossout targets to make it good. (On the other hand if your deck has less than 15 free spots, you probably don't need crossout because your engine is so big)

Yeah, it's a genuinely great card, it's just tricky to use, especially going first. It's great for calling high-impact cards that you know will kill you, like Nibiru, Lancea, and Droll & Lock Bird. Calling Forbidden Droplet after making a powerful board is really nasty, too.

Only thing is that they don't save you from nibiru and infinite imperm

@@redbars2747 maybe however getting your opponent to burn two hand traps just to stop one card is still good and nabiru you just need to play decks that can tag into a negate monster before you summon five monsters

@@redbars2747 and gamma

Agreed.

Tbh, I bet you just drew 1 out of your case and that’s why u just run it as a one of! I understand. I’m doing it the same way 🤣

@@hurnok0114 actually I pulled 1 from 4 tins

If Crossout Designator lowers the sales of the tins, that means other cards may be harder to obtain, so they may remain high; Usually the surplus of cards from buying tin after tin to get the Crossout Designator in this case, lowers their value, so the more product bought, the less the extra cards will be. Cards like Ice Dragon's Prison inevitably increased and is still a reason to buy the tin.

The only deck that benefits from running both pots is Gren Maju and it's variants, but those banish half of their deck anyways making Crossout dead. I guess you can play Striker since they have a lot of 3-ofs in their Extra and search their Engage and Multirole early.

​@@Goblin_Hands tri-brigade could in theory play 3 prosp 1 desires, but more testing is needed. invoked dogmatika (no shaddoll main deck monsters) can play both. Virtual world can play both pots but I don't think they can play crossout. Maju and striker aren't decks that wanna play crossout in the first place, since striker doesn't lose to HT and maju wants to go 2nd.

I run two ash, one ghost belle, and one nibaru. So far the ratio has been decent for my Drytron deck.

I tested it at 3 and bricked for me. Seeing two Crossouts in your opening hand just sucks and it's almost unusable on your opponent's turn if you set it. I've gone back down to 2 as well.

@@TheoJay615 What deck do you run? I use Drytron which is weak against handtraps so it has saved my first turn combos multiple times.

I already ran Called By The Grave so I was easily able to swap them out anyways.

I used to play Magic The Gathering which taught me a lot about deck ratios because of mana. Before I use a deck I draw a lot test hands to gauge the consistancy.

I pressed auto loads these days, KZfaq is aggressive.

You sound like someone who doesn’t know how to build a consistent deck

It was trendy to buy out Engraver of the Mark a few weeks ago just to counter this card too. How's that working out lol? Sometimes, you gotta not let hype get to your head.

@@TheoJay615 That engraver of the mark thing is ridiculous. You can also just use Lancea.

Not gonna lie I want to updated it too

@@MSTTV it's been almost a long year since the last list

Crossout is best with sets of 2 hand traps, so people could use it to counter Ash and Droll or Ash and Nibiru, etc in which case even using 1 copy of Crossout I would recommend 2 copies of chosen hand traps because you aren't even allowed to banish the Hand Trap in your hand, which I bet a lot of people overlooked. You could also run 1 or 2 of each less impactful/common hand trap/cracker too: Impermanence, Veiler, DRNM, Droplets, Belle, Crow, but if you only run 1 copy of that HT there's a strong chance the copy you need in the deck to stop the opponent won't be there, making all of your efforts in vain. And running all of these Hand Traps, but only 1 Crossout Designator seems like a joke. If you find Crossout Designator bricks from drawing 2 many copies because it is a Hard Once Per Turn (another downside people clearly overlooked), you should run 2 copies; at 1 copy you'll never see it enough unless it is searchable, and at 3 copies you have a decent chance at bricking 2 in hand, but only running 2 copies will almost never brick but also double the chances of seeing a single copy compared to running a single copy.

TL;DR I'd say run 2 to brick less, as well as 2 Ash and 2 Nibiru/Droll or whatever the card that kills your deck is, and if that isn't good enough, bump Crossout to 3 but know it can brick.

@@Goblin_Hands oh I only pulled 1 from my case so I'm just running 1 until they reprint it haha

Im glad someone said this. This card in ignister just makes sense, if our link 1 gets stopped its a RIP.
