Notice is a 3 of in LITERALLY everything. Sorcerer is only PePe, and magicians on occasion. Even if dominant, they still don't represent 100% full stop of decks.

Just read up on pendulum and am currently watching online ygopro videos on how people are playing it. The mechanics are kinda amazing but feels really broken at the same time. Will be interesting once some of the cards go into the forbidden / limited list

i know what you mean. some pendulum cards real expensive ie Archfiend Eccentrick :/
There's a nice amount of budget decks at the moment.
I know DDD is the best option for what I want whivh is using all summons. But that means I'd hace to wait for the structurr for it to be playable.

just wondering, is it ok to post my current deck here and ask for pointers? (not really my deck but what im using in-game)
Definitely, post away.

hope you guys dont mind, anyone experienced with Yang Zing decks?
I'm trying out a deck and i dont really see the point or how this meta is supposed to be played out. maybe its because i have a bad hand but im still confused as to how or what i should be doing in order to play it properly

What yang zing version are you using?
kenshiroro
Neo Member
hi, what do you mean by yang zing version? sorry im quite new to this
He means your overall strategy for example if you're using the pendulums or just synchros.

Neo Member
ok thanks for that.
Currently im playing a yang zing deck copied from the video below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MIJqpmasdM
i think im starting to get a hang of it, managed to win twice against ygopro ai (for now)
my pendulum dark magician on the other hand isnt doing as well D:
when you mentioned pendulum are you referring to Zefraxi and Zefraniu?

That build is pretty anti-meta and heavy on continuous traps (yang zing creation, mistake, skill drain, lose 1 turn). It's tough nowadays to run that many continuous traps because pendulums are in a ton of decks so a lot of decks run spell/trap destruction (galaxy cyclone, mst, fairy wind) that will disrupt you.
Yang zing is also by its very nature a reactive deck, but one of the most explosive plays is Jiaotu + Taotie + Bixi = Trishula. Also try to synchro Baxia on the opponents turn for maximum disruption.
Touch deck to play imo because it's so reactive.
kenshiroro
Neo Member
yea i understand what you mean, winning against the AI on ygo especially the Harpy deck with Yang Zing is not easy since that deck has cards that can clear fields
that said, the yang zing does have a lot of potential
how would the pendulum yang zing work?
kenshiroro
Neo Member
after more testing with that yang zing deck, i need to say brainzelda, you sir are very much correct
i am very convinced now as i was on a losing streak playing that deck against Qli, Harpy, Shaddol etc
it relies on too much on those traps to gain advantage. not to mention its not the fastest deck as well. syncro is alot slower that Xyz
do you guys have a meta you could suggest to me?

The best decks right now are Performage Dracoslayers, Pendulum Magicians, and Kozmos. Performage Dracoslayers is a Rank 4 Pendulum-Xyz deck, Pendulum Magicians use Pendulum Summons to fuel Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz summons, and Kozmos play entirely from the Main Deck by banishing their low-level monsters to summon their powerful beaters.
Of those, Pendulum Magicians are by far the cheapest, since most of the cards you need are in the Master of Pendulum Structure Deck. In addition to that, you'll want to pick up Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon, Odd-Eyes Fusion (not strictly necessary, as Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon can summon Vortex), Xiangke Magician, Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon, Mist Valley Apex Avian (or the less powerful but way cheaper Majespecter Unicorn - Kirin), Wavering Eyes, and maybe some more Rank 7s if you want (Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon, Number 11: Big Eye, and if you're in the US/Japan, Ebon Illusion Magician). Archfiend Eccentrick is obviously good in the deck, but definitely not necessary.
Performage Dracoslayers and Kozmos are way more expensive (Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer is $50 a pop, and Kozmo Dark Destroyer is over $100), and will get even pricier once Breakers of Shadow is out (gotta get those new Secret Rares).
For non-tier-1 options, you can try Fluffals or one of last format's decks (other than Shaddolls) - Burning Abyss and Tellarknights should still be pretty decent. Majespecters are good, but a bit pricy too. You can mix Majespecters with Pendulum Magicians to offset the cost.

Any tips regarding a ghostrick deck? looking to build something fun, not for tournaments
brainzelda
Member
The core is usually:
3 Jiangshi
3 Mary
3 Specter
3 Lantern
3 Doll
1-2 Kinka-byo
3 Pot of Duality
1 Allure of Darkness
1 Ghostrick Mansion
1 Ghostrick Panic
3 Ghostrick-go-round
1-2 Ghostrick Vanish
0-1 Ghostrick Night
Extra Deck:
2 Alucard
3 Dullahan
3 Angel of Mischief
2 Downerd Magician
Basically you want Angel of Mischief out ASAP using some combination of lvl1s and/or Kinka-byo to summon Dullahan. She will search out whatever spell/trap card you need at the time (usually Mansion or Go-round). Then you just stall with Go-round/Mary/Specter/Lantern and eat away at their lifepoints using Mansion.
A lot of people have been combining Ghostricks with Speedroids and that engine is very cheap.

I don't play much these days but I've been wanting to rebuy some YGO cards that I remember getting stolen from me back in the day. Dunno why, it just scratches some itch I've been having, but it HAS to be the exact same versions as the ones I used to have. Yeah, it's not reasonable.
My poor Invasion of Chaos Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning and Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End though. I'm not made out of money.
Still remember pulling those, I must've been pretty lucky back then. No idea what the prices were like back then but it's no wonder they got snatched so fast.

That Ra art is gorgeous.
Just got back from the BOSH Sneak Peek.
I got an absolutely terrible pool this time - managed to win round 1 when my opponent opened triple General Jade with no way to summon them, but lost each other round.
On the other hand, I traded my crappy pulls for playsets of Buster Whelp and all the Buster Blader commons (and one retrained Buster Blader, even though he's worse than the original), and also grabbed a Lose 1 Turn and Red-Eyes Fusion for later. Time to destroy some dragons!
I brought along a friend and his brother, who are both super casual players. Of course, they opened a Solemn Strike each (the brother got Tincan too).

Yeah, they look quite nice. I need bigger pics though!
I'm really liking that they're going back to give one more card to a few archetypes in TDIL. The Shiranui, Dinomist, and Buster Blader cards look pretty solid - hopefully they'll also cover the CORE and DOCS archetypes.

Here I made a guide on which of those are worth using
RIP Upstart
Deck will be amazingly expensive, not because it's good or anything, but because it's Dark Magician
Eternal Soul and Dark Magic Circle are so fun to use tho
Eternal Soul still has a drawback that's a pain

Eh, the continuous spell is the only new card that isn't painfully underwhelming.
Or maybe I'm just too attached to my beloved spellbooks to see the potential.

Ultra Rare starter deck art Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes confirmed for this year's Mega Tins. Now we're talking.
I'm considering putting together a Blue-Eyes deck to pair with the upcoming Dark Magician deck. Let's hope for a Melody of Awakening Dragon reprint in the Mega Tins.
If they reprint the Red-Eyes stuff too, I might even go for the trilogy
