Infernoble makes people scoop cause nobody wants to watch the combo💀💀

Dinos are doing my duelist cup every single time

I'm playing Ghostrick Purrely and there is this combo I've found that I can't quite evaluate. Instead of adding multiple rank 1 engines or Snake Eyes + diabell, I play 3 copies of Baby Spider. The baby spiders main purpose is that it can get you Noir and UDF from a single spell discard by resummoning dullahan a third time. The advantage of it over the other engines is that it doesn't take as much space, it can be used to resummon any dark including purrelyly which helps in the grind game or playing through an imperm and it cuts the purrely bodies needed to get UDF + Noir from 4 to 2. There is an additional benefit later on of using mother spider splitter. It allows purrely to use Valdrath, which plays through all of the current Ghostrick purrely counters, on top of getting the above combo. Making the deck more consistent in the process since you get combo 50% of the time and 30% of the time you also get an omni and remove 3 bodies from deck.

Purrelly and R-ACE are both stuck in limbo having not gotten their DUNE support.

"if they high roll, they high roll" really love this aspect of tear 🤣

something cool about the kashtira version is that birth can let you normal summon diabelstar, allowing you to go into the snake eye engine without discarding for diabelstar

You're right about Exosister, I've been playing it most of this tournament, and it plays really well, even going second

I love the world champion says titles you definitely don't let people know often enough to put respekt in your name

Tearlament is a really fun deck for this dc cup if you play it more mid range and include the rescue ace impulse package. It’s nice to be able to go second as long as you don’t draw fire attacker. It’s also funny to draw 2 and discard a tear names to make some interruptions on the opponent’s turn.

I'm seeing it popping up around Tier 3s in the Master Duel Meta site and it IS my first and most beloved deck so I think I would like to know where you would place Rikka Sunavalon on this list, and if it has any different ways now to play around the generic hand traps and all that.

I am playing Vanquish Soul with Superheavy Samurai in it and for me it's incredibly underrated. The lack of consistency of not having razen or earth monsters in your hand in end phase is resolved from superheavy samurai. And even going full combo with SHS and then normal razen is a big plot twist for the opponent

I got lv 20 dc with a Swordsoul deck it has a lot of ways to play around stuff but I agree with your ranking because with so many handtraps it can be completely stopped out. You have to play super smart and bait handtraps if you can. Thank you for the list nice to see!

I’m curious on your thoughts about Virtual World in MD

Made it to the top with Infernoble. Playing it in DC helped me get better with the deck and play through interaction. The end board is essentially an FTK, and being able to look at your opponents hand is unfair.

Thoughts on Mana tear? as far as my experience on DL cup, i reached dlv max in a few hours. From what Ive gathered, you can side thrust, TTT and one super poly which goes really well into snake eyes and lots of other combo decks. most of my board usually end up with one cross sheep, baronne and rulkal with a tear trap and usually one shuffler. If I get really lucky you I have chengying baronne rulkal fenrir 2 tear traps with reframing a field spell 2 shufflers and 1 snow.

thoughts on infernoble?

Do you think that the unchained support will do anything in master duel after they essentially skiped over it for snake-eye

I tried climbing with synchro branded. I had almost no trouble vs snake-eye, but I had the most miserable time going second into stun and arise-heart.

I havent played much MD since the year started. Idk how much they hit Kashtira. But even on release it was bricky without 3 field spell like the TCG. Played a going 2nd Kash with Lava Golem, Dyna Fossil and Small Worlds to find them or Maxx C if you dont brick. Even if think they have Nib and your going first, you can just squat Fenrir & Unicorn/ 1 mat Ariseheart, NS Dyna Fossil (5th summon)

I'm about 20-3 with dinomorphia in DC at the moment, how do you think that matches up?

Thoughts on pk adventure scythe lock feat dpe?

Joshua, what are your thoughts about branded synchro as a competitive deck in MD format? I’ve been getting constant winning games against snake-eyes (mainly time limit) in DC.

Ive had a decently smooth journey to dLV20 with infernoid snake eye. Don’t know if the deck will hold up tho.

I'm currently like 4-10 with true dracos right now. I'm doing my part to make sure Konami realizes MP and Diagram can come back to 3

I started with Branded (no puppet lock) and then switched to Snake Eyes halfway through

I’ve been doing really well with Pure Zombies in DC

Man I really want your opinion on Trap Trix is my beloved deck but I still didn't try it in the duelist cup is viable or nah because I was playing with sworsoul and labyrinth and doing relatively fine (just wanna complete and get the gems)

Hey Josh does Germany have good bagels??

Made it to D. Lv MAX with SPYRAL but i can admit it felt like i was at a disadvantage

Sky Striker go 2end with boards breakers feels really good against snake eye

the infernoble slander

Fun thing is. Galaxy eyes banishes linkuriboh and princess going First which really renders snakes pretty weak going into n38 and n90

Joshua I am curious about your take on sky strikers in the current meta, and where it falls on the list. I main sky striker and have hit m1 with it the past two seasons but I want to know from a worlds players perspective on how it should be built for this format and how it performs

Option 3 for snake eyes to beat Maxx c is playing 3 where arf thou and 1 droll. If you get roached, you fire where arf thou and add droll, then droll yourself. Full combo, Maxx c draws them 2, maybe 3 cards.

Got like 70% win rate to DLV20 using infernoble, only Diabelstar

Where would you put Endymion ?

I hadn't touched Master Duel since week one or two and only got back into it maybe a week and a half ago to keep myself from becoming completely dogshit at the game. I started with Pure Snake-Eye and switched to the more chad and based Runick Snake-Eye when I quickly got sick of throwing handtraps around. I was able to grind up to level 20 fairly easily once I figured out how I should be sequencing and handling Maxx C, and I only ever had trouble climbing out of 16 (never dropped to 15). Is Runick really that bad?

The sleeper is war rock. I made it to max yesterday 😤

I’ve been seeing a hybrid Tear/Lab deck floating around and I’m REALLY intrigued by it. Don’t care if I have to donate but would love to see you take a crack at it or get an opinion

You should make a tier of pure question marks and it’s chain burn.

Kashtira zoodiac has been going hard. Almost level 20 with it

I would just like to say… Thank you for playing the shop music from Zelda! ❤️🤣👍👍

Yeah, kashtira has been pulling a lot of weight this cup, its kind of jarring seeing a normally mid deck before its banlist suddenly doing incredibly well with no new support.

How do I get transaction roll back to grave as a dinomorphia

Can you make a vanquish soul deck profile?

The RDA stuff ist realy fun. Imo it belongs in this list too. Opinion in that?

Floo is sick it’s a 30 card main deck pretty much and you can side whatever you need. If you can normal summon 3 times you “go full combo”

Purrely is completely fine what u mean , u can run lots of non engine in it like snake eyes

How good is live twin spright? We got elf and no worry about nibiru.

Did mostly my beloved VS, a bit of dragon link bc the deck is fun

I've managed to get into lv20 with my Resonator deck. It truly felt like a very good pick, since i could put the exact staples i needed to beat most of the format. But yeah... I have to admit that sometimes, the disavantage was real, specially when they drop you a Maxx C That card should get banned. But yeah, the rest of the event was very fun and challenging 😄🔥

I'm currently playing with Tearlaments with a bystial package, Charge of the light brigade, Raiden lightsworn and Beatrice. Helped me get to lvl17 on DC. But the difference is, I actually enjoyed doing it. After lvl17 though, I just got bored of playing the same deck every other game (and sometimes playing against Lab 3 and 4 times in a row). I like Lab, I do. But playing against it so often is just not fun.

What do you think of dinomorphia?

Ah, perfect timing

No Rescue Ace?

I'm currently Lv. 17 with blind 2nd Danger Dark World. f*ck the odds, I'm going for it 😁

I’ve been playing Spyral, resort just cleans house against most of the format tbh

Where are the new rda cards?? Ive been going on a crazy streak with them

please josh don't tell me that runick is worse than vanquish soul On the one hand, vanquish soul is very weak compared to labrynth, branded, and super heavy samurai, and on the other hand, runick bystial is strong, especially for those who know well how to use them. I myself played with runick until I reached level 19.

I've been playing with Neo Spacian going first I really don't care much about nib since it doesn't special summon that much plus the end board is Sunrise and another HERO pass.

what about burning abyys it actually has a good snake eye matchup

Oh my god i love Raye

In my opinion Stun, Mathmech and to an extent Mannadium/Infernoble are S tier. The reason is NOT they are the best decks but how fast they can make the opponent scoop. Mathmech particularly is the fastest of the 3 to close a game, and when you see Circular you just look at your hand and evaluate if you can win or not just by that saving a lot of time for both players. (Hot take 1: This interaction is why I believe Josh hates Mathmech/Sanavalon and to me it's a very fair point since I also hate that about them.) Lab is great against Kash Snakes but can take too long to win. FFV/EEV can help a bit in shortening matches but the deck grinds A LOT. Snakes are the best deck, but I didn't find myself to scoop immediately on their turn 1 board and it can be quite back and forth just like a high roll Tear (hot take 2, i believe this is the reason Josh doesn't hate Snake Tier 0 in our TCG format). They will definitely have a higher winrate but at the cost of significant time. And in the initial stage, you may benefit more by playing more games. Timer can be a huge issue since you play a lot during both turns and the matchup becomes a huge grind if it isn't the Synchro variant (a Daruma can buy you an entire turn) vs Lab and Branded. If I were to tryhard I would go for Mathmech and when high enough pivot to Kash Snakes, but I don't see myself playing Mathmech or Kash so I'll just collect gems with Lab.

Kashtira Arise-heart like Snake Eye Kashtira

I got to DL20 playing mostly PK, Swordsoul, or Marincess. I got really unlucky for awhile on DLv 19 but eventually got there.

God I love vanquish soul, hopefully infinite forbidden blesses us with more starters

I got to dl20 with bystial runick, it's hard when you have to go second but I managed to win enough games

i dont expect too much but what is your view on resonator?

Rikka or Mikanko analysis? I know u don't like either

Tear got me to max in like 20-30 games

Purrely is still good and has a good matchup against the stronger decks. Finished climbing to level 20 by day 3

adventure synchron carry me to dlv max. strong first turn with consistent calamity lock and average second turn because the adventurer engine

I think the kashtira engine is worst in snake eye because it doesn't add that much to the deck and hard loses to kurikara

Hey Josh, i have been curious about Tri- zoo this format

I’ve been using Guru Control!! My favorite deck!

Tear for Duel Cup!

I want to Play Exo(-step)sister but its to expensive in master then in irl

I'll play Kozmo or Strikers until it kills me. Which will be quickly

what tier is danger! darkworld?

magnet warrior?

What are your thoughts about dinomorphia?

Branded is surprisingly strong against Snake-eye, I feel like every time I que in with Branded I am hoping just to face Snake-eye decks.

runick bystial to the moooooon

Infernoble should probably be tiered, decent deck though it has clear weaknesses.

Pls handtrap list

Rikka sunavalon using cactus bouncer and D shifter. 😆 Got level 20 in a single day.

I have a full snake-eyes deck I just find it really boring, I'm playing Ghoti/Kash instead because it's fun.

ABC’s go hard don’t sleep on them!

Infernoble has left the chat

Where is infernoble

What happened to Sprights in Master Duel did the deck just poof out of existence?

I see way way way more Kash then snake eyes on ladder. It's for sure the deck I dread seeing the most too. It's not that it's the strongest but it's the least fun to play against.

IF MY GIRL AND RYZEN ARE BOTH DROWNING, I REVEAL A FIRE IN MY HAND, SUMMONING JIAOLONG, ADD BORGUER IN MY HAND

kash could be a bit higher on this list imo, you can't underestimate how well positioned kash is for all of the top decks, there are multiple ways to play around nib too... notably normal iblee(after special unicorn ofc) special almiraj everything can go in defense you can't crash or link off iblee L. if you get maxx Ced uni special fenrir normal rise heart make arise heart is 2 special summons. Biggest issue is just simply consistency in getting into your starters... But you can legit just run copies of macro instead of something like planet pathfinder cause it's almost better then ariseheart(arise heart is just macro anyways let's be real the banish 1 effect is kind of mid in comparison both together are pretty good tho) try to subversion, kurikara, or imperm macro etc. backrow is not main decked that much making it an absolutely nasty card to play... I personally think vanquish soul isn't that good because of consistency it's probably worse then kash tbh. both decks can brick pretty hard but kash has a lot of guys you can just summon if need be. Ex special summon ogre and make your opp just keep drawing into ash blossom can win the game. Ceaser, jiaolong, borger just sit there in your hand alongside the S/T cards you're somewhat forced to run continue... dust devil, snow devil are all good cards but you typically want to search them so they hurt to draw especially with so many garnets

Infernoble sadge

I was going get first place this DC with sky striker but konami kept me in check with 2 engage. #NOCAP /s

Tear can go toe to toe with Snake eyes, idk whag that thumbnail is on about

Opinons on Gold pride punk?

I think you missed blackwings

Lyriklusc Is a good pic
