    Im sure by no means it's original, but my fav deck to play on master duel is a Rokket/ Bystail/ Red Eyes deck. By no means is it perfect. It has 48 cards, lol. But i enjoy it because i created it on my own with no help and so much trial and error. It initially just started as a Red-eyes/ Blue-eyes/ chaos deck. If anyone is interested in hearing about the deck list, I would love to share it so I can keep improving it.

    The issue is the deck suffers heavily in a handtrap format. Theoretically, it’s great against the meta a bit (mostly SE, but doesn’t do much against Yubel, Tenpai or even Voiceless to an extent). However, it’s very fragile. So much so that off Kaspitell, an ogre can kill you. Handtraps hurt it heavily.

  • @ZButlerYGO
    @ZButlerYGO6 күн бұрын

    Very true! It’s very hard to deal with, it’s a delicate balance. It’s something I think that you have to be aware of, and except as a risk when going into an event. Although with infinite forbidden and the increased size of engines, hopefully it is a weakness that can be somewhat mitigated.

    From my perspective, it’s an engine that changes the trajectory significantly, hence my putting it in the name. Even if small, if it’s integral to the design and philosophy of the deck, it’s worth putting in the name. That’s how I did it in coverage, though I understand where you’re coming from. If you’re bothered by it, dislike the video and don’t watch any more of my content, I will understand completely. That said, I’d love to hear the proper package and I’ll try it out!

    Right now I'm testing minerva instead of raiden as a normal summon through charge. I don't like raiden and recharge because the mills are random and you don't want to mill regained. Charge too broken not to play though. Minerva is an ok mill but level 3 sadly. It can search light dragons in some scenarios though. Also playing 1 ringowurm for this purpose which is also a good mill to go into chaos angel or dis pater. Also playing 3 felis 2 wulf because I like having more tuners
